February 2014 in “Neuron” The study revealed that delta opioid receptors (DOR) played a crucial role in regulating cutaneous mechanosensation, including touch, by inhibiting synaptic input to the spinal dorsal horn through blocking voltage-gated calcium channels. DOR was primarily expressed in large-diameter, myelinated mechanoreceptors, challenging previous beliefs about its expression in small-diameter neurons. The research used a DORGFP knockin mouse model to map DOR distribution and found that DOR agonists like deltorphin II significantly reduced neurotransmitter release, suggesting a potential target for treating injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity. The study highlighted the distinct roles of DOR and mu opioid receptors (MOR) in somatosensory processing, with DOR affecting mechanoreceptors involved in touch sensation and MOR associated with nociceptive pathways. These findings provided insights into the molecular mechanisms by which opioids could modulate touch and pain sensations.

February 2024 in “Endocrinology and Disorders” The document highlights the prevalence and management of hormonal imbalances in women, which occur during various life stages such as puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and post-menopause. Symptoms include irregular periods, hair loss, and mental health issues. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining balanced hormone levels for overall well-being, suggesting natural remedies like exercise and stress reduction. Hormone therapy (HT) is recommended for those unable to achieve balance naturally, as it can alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and reduce risks of chronic conditions. The document includes case reports on hormone imbalances, such as precocious and delayed puberty, PCOS, and menopausal symptoms, demonstrating the need for tailored hormone treatments. It also discusses lifestyle changes to naturally balance hormones and the role of primary care physicians in managing these imbalances.
