OBJECTIVE: Endovascular therapy of lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with higher complication rates and worse outcomes in women vs men. Although intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has shown similarly favorable outcomes in men and women in calcified coronary arteries, there is no published safety and effectiveness data of peripheral IVL differentiated by sex. This study aims to evaluate sex-specific acute procedural safety and effectiveness following IVL treatment of calcified PAD.
METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of the multicenter Disrupt PAD III Observational Study, which assessed short-term procedural outcomes of patients undergoing treatment of symptomatic calcified lower extremity PAD with the Shockwave peripheral IVL system. Adjudicated acute safety and efficacy outcomes were compared by sex using univariate analysis performed with the χ2 test or Fisher exact test, as appropriate.
RESULTS: A total of 1262 patients (29.9% women) were included, with >85% having moderate to severe lesion calcification. Women were older (74 vs 71 years; P < .001), had lower ankle-brachial index (0.7 vs 0.8; P = .003), smaller reference vessel size (5.3 vs 5.6 mm; P = .009), and more severe stenosis at baseline vs men (82.3% vs 79.8%; P = .012). Rates of diabetes, renal insufficiency, chronic limb-threatening ischemia, lesion length, and atherectomy use were similar in both groups. Residual stenosis after IVL alone was significantly reduced in both groups. Final residual stenosis was 21.9% in women and 24.7% in men (P = .001). Serious angiographic complications were infrequent and similar in both groups (1.4% vs 0.6%; P = .21), with no abrupt vessel closure, distal embolization, or thrombotic events during any procedure.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of IVL to treat calcified PAD in this observational registry demonstrated favorable acute safety and effectiveness in both women and men.
PURPOSE: To provide a food product which is useful for diagnosing food allergy by coupling a package including the antigen food and another package including strawberry or banana juice so that the taste and smell of the antigen food may be masked. CONSTITUTION: This food product for diagnosing food allergy comprises (A) a package including an antigen food and (B) another package including food having the masking effect such as strawberry or banana. The former package is preferably tightly sealable, while component B is preferably in a cup form for easy and simple handling. It is preferred that the amount of the fruit juice as component B is preferably 80-200 pts.wt. per 2-6 pts.wt. of the powdery component A. This diagnostic food is used in such a manner that the intake of a possible antigen food is inhibited for a certain period, then, said antigen food in an amount of 2-6 grams is dissolved in 80-200g of strawberry or banana juice and the solution is given to observe the symptomatic change thereby specifying the antigen.
Targeting the supportive tumor microenvironment (TME) is an approach of high interest in cancer drug development. However, assessing TME-targeted drug candidates presents a unique set of challenges. We develop a comprehensive screening platform that allows monitoring, quantifying, and ranking drug-induced effects in self-organizing, vascularized tumor spheroids (VTSs). The confrontation of four human-derived cell populations makes it possible to recreate and study complex changes in TME composition and cell-cell interaction. The platform is modular and adaptable for tumor entity or genetic manipulation. Treatment effects are recorded by light sheet fluorescence microscopy and translated by an advanced image analysis routine in processable multi-parametric datasets. The system proved to be robust, with strong interassay reliability. We demonstrate the platform's utility for evaluating TME-targeted antifibrotic and antiangiogenic drugs side-by-side. The platform's output enabled the differential evaluation of even closely related drug candidates according to projected therapeutic needs.
When calcitriol was applied topically to mice for up to 24 months, no significant changes in tumor incidence were observed. Concentrations of calcitriol in ointment base of 0 (vehicle control), 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 ppm were evaluated.

A two-year carcinogenicity study was conducted in which calcitriol was orally administered to rats at dosages of approximately 0.005, 0.03, and 0.1 mcg/kg/day (0.03, 0.18, and 0.6 mcg/m2/day, respectively). The incidence of benign pheochromocytomas was significantly increased in female rats. No other significant differences in tumor incidence were observed.

Calcitriol did not elicit genotoxic effects in the mouse lymphoma TK locus assay. Studies in which male and female rats received oral doses of calcitriol of up to 0.6 mcg/kg/day (3.6 mcg/m2/day) indicated no impairment of fertility or general reproductive performance.

Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are the closely related to osteoporosis. The lifetime risk of suffering a PHF in females aged 50 or above is 13%. About half of the fractures are minimally displaced and usually managed by short immobilization, analgetics, and early mobilization. The remaining half of the patients suffer from displaced fractures, traditionally managed surgically by open reduction and internal fixation or shoulder replacement. Within the last decades, an increasing number of high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses have failed to document the superiority of surgical management in displaced PHFs. Therefore, an increasing number of patients are being offered nonsurgical treatment consisting of immobilization followed by rehabilitation that may vary across countries and regions. Most elderly experience loss of function following a PHF regardless of treatment. However, optimal management and recovery of function are paramount to prevent a substantial impact on the patient's independent living and morbidity. A systematic review and metaanalysis from 2021 concluded a need for high-quality RCTs to substantiate the current evidence regarding the need for supervision after a PHF.

It is assumed that rehabilitation delivered as structured training benefits patients with PHFs, but this is not known from current evidence. It is possible that patients are even harmed with intensive training programmes. Most RCTs with a non-surgically treated group use the same exercise intervention in the two groups to best identify the difference between surgery and non-surgical treatment. Therefore, the effect of training cannot be concluded from these studies. This is supported by an expectation of more nonsurgically treated displaced PHFs due to the growing evidence of no benefit from surgery. The current study is a prerequisite for future rehabilitation studies comparing different training modalities. Therefore, this study aims is to evaluate the effectiveness of usual rehabilitation care after displaced PHF compared with one-time physiotherapy instruction.

Myostatin is a growth factor related to muscular mass atrophy via mTOR pathway inhibition. Mutations in this gene have been correlated with high muscular mass development in different species of mammals, including human and dogs. Different studies have shown that sport practice increases myostatin gene expression. Some of them were conducted in canine breeds selected for different sport practices, including mushing sports. In this study, body weight, muscular mass, and serum levels of myostatin were analysed in different canine breeds, selected, and not selected for sprint and middle-distance racing, and the effect on epidemiological factors was evaluated. Sex, reproductive status, and canine breed affects body weight and muscular mass, being higher in males, and in sled canine breed. Age has an effect in body weight and myostatin serum levels, being lower in elder dogs. Sport practice and type of diet had an effect in muscular mass development but not in myostatin serum levels. Results showed a high positive correlation between muscular mass and body weight but not with myostatin levels. These results suggest that independent-myostatin mechanisms of mTOR pathway regulation could be related to muscular mass development in dogs.

How consciousness is lost in states such as sleep or anesthesia remains a mystery. To gain insight into this phenomenon, concurrent recordings of electrophysiology signals in the anterior cingulate cortex and whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are conducted in rats exposed to graded propofol, undergoing the transition from consciousness to unconsciousness. The results reveal that upon the loss of consciousness (LOC), there is a sharp increase in low-frequency power of the electrophysiological signal. Additionally, fMRI signals exhibit a cascade of deactivation across a pathway including the hippocampus, thalamus, and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) surrounding the moment of LOC, followed by a broader increase in brain activity across the cortex during sustained unconsciousness. Furthermore, sliding window analysis demonstrates a temporary increase in synchrony of fMRI signals across the hippocampus-thalamus-mPFC pathway preceding LOC. These data suggest that LOC may be triggered by sequential activities in the hippocampus, thalamus, and mPFC, while wide-spread activity increases in other cortical regions commonly observed during anesthesia-induced unconsciousness may be a consequence, rather than a cause of LOC. Taken together, the study identifies a cascade of neural events unfolding as the brain transitions into unconsciousness, offering insight into the systems-level neural mechanisms underpinning LOC.
Patients receive a placebo PO BID on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every 7 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a vital component of the overall strategy to reduce TB in a population. Treatment prevents ongoing transmission in communities by preventing the development of active TB disease. The current international standard for the treatment of LTBI is 9 months of Isoniazid (INH). Adherence to this lengthy regimen is one of the greatest impediments to treatment. A recent multi-centered, multi-national randomized control non inferiority trial with approximately 4,000 patients per arm demonstrated that Rifapentine and INH (3HP) given once weekly for a total of 12 doses was as effective as 9 months (252 doses) of daily INH treatment for LTBI.(1) These findings were also replicated in the pediatric population through a pediatric cohort (n=905 eligible participants) nested within the multi-centered international randomized controlled trial with children between ages 2-17 treated with 3HP compared to the INH standard for LTBI.(2) The efficacy and safety of this new regimen have been established. Rifapentine was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December of 2014 for the treatment of LTBI but is not yet approved in Canada. The shortened treatment course could increase the number of people who complete LTBI treatment which could lead to a decrease in active TB cases.
In Vietnam, each primary care community health center (CHC) consists of a multi-professional team with six disciplines, including a physician, assistant physician, nurse, pharmacist, midwife, and Vietnamese traditional physician, who are able to meet the majority of patient's needs at the primary care level. How they collaborate, especially in chronic disease management (CDM), is still limited described in the literature. This study aims to gain insight into the perceptions and the experiences of primary health care providers (PHCPs) toward interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in CDM in CHCs in (Hue) Vietnam. A qualitative study of descriptive phenomenology was performed using two focus groups and 15 semi-structured interviews with PHCPs from six professions relevant to CDM in CHCs. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12.0 with a thematic analysis method by a multiprofessional research team. From the analysis, the data were classified into three main themes: "lack of collaborative practice," "knowledge," and "facilitators and barriers to IPC." This study provided evidence of the awareness that actual collaboration in daily care is fragmentarily organized and that PHCPs try to finish their tasks within their profession. PHCPs work multiprofessionally and lack shared decision-making in patient-centered care. There is a need to develop an interprofessional education program and training to address these deficiencies in the Vietnamese context to improve interprofessional collaboration in health care.
The control procedure for the research practicum is a four-trocar laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the current gold-standard operation. This approach utilizes a 10-mm trocar placed at the umbilicus via a 15-mm incision and three separate subcostal 5-mm trocars placed via separate 5-mm incisions. The gallbladder will be removed through the umbilical trocar site. On occasion, this incision needs to be enlarged to accommodate removal of the gallbladder. Trocar sites will be closed and sterile dressings applied (four Band-Aids).

In conservative treatment for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs), the immobilization position of the affected arm should not be determined uniformly. The aim of this study is to investigate the optimal immobilization position for conservative treatment of different types of PHFs. We hypothesized that the optimal position minimizing the deforming force in PHFs depends on the fracture components involved. PHF models involving either the surgical neck (SN) or greater tuberosity (GT) were created using 12 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders. In the SN model, the deforming forces on the pectoralis major muscle were measured in full adduction by increasing external rotation. In the GT model, the deforming force of the supraspinatus muscle was measured in neutral rotation by decreasing abduction, and the deforming force of the infraspinatus muscle was measured in full adduction by increasing internal rotation, respectively. In the SN model, the deforming force of the pectoralis major muscle increased significantly with external rotation from full internal rotation to neutral rotation (P = 0.006), indicating that the arm should be placed in full internal rotation. In the GT model, the deforming force of the supraspinatus muscle increased significantly with adduction from 45° of abduction to full adduction (P = 0.006); the deforming force of the infraspinatus muscle increased significantly with internal rotation from neutral rotation to full internal rotation (P = 0.006). These findings should be considered when placing the arm in abduction and neutral rotation so as to minimize the deforming force by either the supra or infraspinatus muscle. In conservative treatment for PHFs, the affected arm should be placed in a position that minimizes the deforming force on the fracture components involved.
A variety of evidence-based psychosocial treatments now exist for chronic pain. However, on average, effect sizes have tended to be modest and there is a high degree of heterogeneity in treatment response. In this focus article, we explore the potential role that therapist quality in delivering treatment may have in accounting for a degree of this variability in outcome. Therapist quality refers to the skillful delivery of treatment, harnessing both specific and common therapeutic factors during sessions. While recognized as important to assess and report in clinical trials by some reporting guidelines, few randomized controlled trials evaluating psychosocial treatments for chronic pain have reported on therapist factors. We reviewed the clinical trials included in three systematic reviews and meta-analyses of trials of cognitive-behavioral therapy (mainly), mindfulness-based interventions, and acceptance and commitment therapy. We found that of the 134 trials included, only nine assessed and reported therapist quality indicators, with a variety of procedures used. This is concerning as without knowledge of the quality in which treatments are delivered, the estimates of effect sizes reported may be misrepresented. We contextualize this finding by drawing on the broader psychotherapy literature which has shown that more skillful, effective therapists demonstrated ten times better patient response rates. Examination of the characteristics associated with these more effective therapists tends to indicate that skillful engagement of common factors in therapy sessions represents a distinguishing feature. We conclude by providing recommendations for assessing and reporting on therapist quality within clinical trials evaluating psychosocial treatments for chronic pain. PERSPECTIVE: Therapist quality in the delivery of psychosocial treatments for chronic pain has rarely been assessed in clinical trials. We propose that therapist quality indicators are an under-studied mechanism that potentially contributes to the heterogeneity of treatment outcomes. We provide recommendations for assessing and reporting on therapist quality in future trials.
