research Reversible exacerbation of obstructive sleep apnea by α1-adrenergic blockade with tamsulosin: A case report
Tamsulosin can worsen sleep apnea in some patients.
research Inhibition of the development of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in protein kinase C epsilon transgenic mice by alpha-difluoromethylornithine accompanied by marked hair follicle degeneration and hair loss.
Alpha-difluoromethylornithine prevents cancer in mice but causes hair loss.
research Drug repurposing—a promising approach for patients with angina but non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA)
Using existing drugs for new purposes could be a cost-effective way to treat chest pain and non-clogged heart arteries, with some drugs for lung blood pressure showing promise but needing more testing.
research Pharmacological Profile of 9,11-Dehydrocortexolone 17α-Butyrate (CB-03-04), a New Androgen Antagonist with Antigonadotropic Activity
