An international team has carried out a review of studies and a meta-analysis on the cardiovascular safety of the drugs used to treat ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Their conclusions are that most of them, and not just the stimulants, affect the pulse and blood pressure. According to the authors, who publish the results in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry, although the changes are slight, ‘professionals should monitor blood pressure and pulse in patients with ADHD treated with any pharmacological intervention’.
An international team has found that aspirin is capable of reducing the appearance of metastasis in mice, by enabling the activation of T lymphocytes capable of recognising tumour cells. The research showed that several different mouse cancer models — including breast cancer, colon cancer and melanoma — treated with aspirin showed a lower rate of metastasis in other organs, such as the lungs and liver, compared to untreated mice. According to the authors, who publish the results in the journal Nature, ‘the finding paves the way for the use of more effective anti-metastatic immunotherapies’.
