TL;DR: It is shown that the lack of CB1 in mice with a disrupted CB1 gene causes hypophagia and leanness, and the cannabinoid system is an essential endogenous regulator of energy homeostasis via central orexigenic as well as peripheral lipogenic mechanisms and might therefore represent a promising target to treat diseases characterized by impaired energy balance.

TL;DR: In this article, the DEX/CRH test was used to assess hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-system (HPA) alteration in patients with psychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: Low doses of intraarticular morphine can significantly reduce pain after knee surgery through an action specific to local opioid receptors that reaches its maximal effect three to six hours after injection.

TL;DR: It is shown that patients with hereditary RLS may experience an earlier onset of the disease, compared to those of non-hereditary RLS, which was similar in both groups.

TL;DR: Sleep disruption and increased motor activity during REM and non REM sleep are a frequent finding in Parkinson's disease and MSA patients and an increased PLM index in untreated PD patients may be due to a dopaminergic deficit and is probably not associated with dopaminaergic treatment.
