Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics01:23

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

1.6K
Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

The Placebo Effect01:54

The Placebo Effect

7.0K
The placebo effect occurs when people's expectations or beliefs influence or determine their experience in a given situation. In other words, simply expecting something to happen can actually make it happen.

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders01:24

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

893
Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

656
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Historical observations suggest immune stimulation against cancer.
  • Coley's toxins and febrile infections indicate a link between immunity and cancer regression.
  • Epidemiological studies show an inverse correlation between infection history and cancer risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of innate immune system stimulation against cancer.
  • To investigate the efficacy of mistletoe extract (ME) combined with pattern recognition receptor ligands (PRRLs) for cancer therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical cancer treatments involving bacterial extracts.
  • Analysis of correlations between spontaneous tumor regression, febrile infection, and cancer incidence.
  • Experimental use of a pattern recognition receptor ligand (PRRL) cocktail in mice with solid tumors.
  • Identification of mistletoe lectin as a PRRL within mistletoe extract (ME).

Main Results:

  • A cocktail of PRRLs demonstrated efficacy in eradicating solid tumors in mice when administered metronomically.
  • Mistletoe lectin, a key component of ME, functions as a PRRL.
  • Existing approved drugs contain additional PRRLs that could be utilized.

Conclusions:

  • There is an untapped potential for stimulating the innate immune system to combat cancer.
  • Combining mistletoe extract (ME) with other PRRLs presents a promising therapeutic approach.
  • Repurposing approved drugs containing PRRLs could revive historical successes in cancer immunotherapy.
