Does the antiprotozoal drug pentamidine ameliorate experimentally induced acute colitis in mice?
Pentamidine exerts a marked anti-inflammatory effect in a mice model of acute colitis, likely targeting S100B activity. Pentamidine might be an innovative molecule to broaden pharmacological tools against colitis.
Laryngeal cold dry air stimulation triggered an apneic response, which could be eliminated by humidification but not by the heating of air. These results suggest that using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with humidified air decreases CPAP-induced apnea.
