Methylnaltrexone, a peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor (MOR) antagonist, may play a role in slowing tumor progression, new research has found. According to the study, methylnaltrexone influenced cancer progression and prolonged survival in patients with advanced cancer, suggesting that the MOR antagonist may be an important therapeutic target. “Our data suggest that methylnaltrexone used in advanced […]

The mechanisms of postoperative OI include impaired vasopressor responses relating to postoperative autonomic dysfunction. Thus, based on a previous study on haemodynamic responses during mobilization […]
