A repeated measures design will be used with each patient serving as his/her own control. The subjects and/or parents will be tested with all instruments before the intervention, and approximately every 30 days for no less than 3 months and a maximum participation of 6 months. Treatment time points will be at least 30 days apart. Because some subjects are not scheduled to come into the clinic every 30 days for SOC appointments, they are unable to complete 3 sessions of CAT in a 3 month time period. For those subjects who are scheduled to come into clinic every 1-2 months for SOC appointments, study participation may take up to 6 months. This 6 month time period would allow for the completion of 4 different time points of CAT.

The testing will take place in an exam room after vital signs have been completed upon intake to the clinic. The trained research assistant, trained RN, or PI will administer the questionnaires. The PedsQL includes a subject report (ages 5 and over) and a parent report. The Resilience Scale is a self-report and will be used for ages 12 and over. The Faces Scale will use parent report for ages less than 5 and self-report for ages 5 and over. In order to confirm consistency, the posture measure will be completed by the PI (nurse practitioner) or registered nurse on the study after training with the manual included with the inclinometer tool.
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of combining two study drugs (relacorilant and enzalutamide) with hormone therapy. Doctors leading this study hope to learn if combining these study drugs with hormone therapy is safe and could improve the results of surgery and delay the time to when prostate cancer tumors spread to other parts of the body in individuals with advanced, high-risk prostate cancer who plan to receive a radical prostatectomy (surgical removal of the whole prostate and surrounding tissue).

Prostate cancer cells usually need hormones (called androgens) to grow. One of these hormones is testosterone, which is mostly produced in the testicles. The usual approach for treating prostate cancer after it progresses involves taking medications to decrease or block the development of hormones (including testosterone) so that prostate cancer cells can't continue to grow. This approach is called androgen deprivation therapy (hormone therapy). Enzalutamide is a hormone-blocking medication, which is a standard of care for prostate cancer when it spreads (metastasizes).

PURPOSE: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a significant prognostic factor in combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA). However, its diagnosis relies on postoperative histopathologic analysis. This study aims to identify preoperative inflammatory biomarkers and MR-imaging features that can predict MVI in cHCC-CCA.
METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled 119 patients with histopathologically confirmed cHCC-CCA between January 2016 and December 2021. Two radiologists, unaware of the clinical data, independently reviewed all MR image features. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to determine the independent predictors for MVI among inflammatory biomarkers and MRI characteristics. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance.
RESULTS: Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified four variables significantly associated with MVI (p < 0.05), including two inflammatory biomarkers [albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) and aspartate aminotransferase-to-neutrophil ratio index (ANRI)] and two MRI features (non-smooth tumor margin and arterial phase peritumoral enhancement). A combined model for predicting MVI was constructed based on these four variables, with an AUC of 0.802 (95% CI 0.719-0.870). The diagnostic efficiency of the combined model was higher than that of the imaging model.
CONCLUSION: Inflammatory biomarkers and MRI features could be potential predictors for MVI in cHCC-CCA. The combined model, derived from inflammatory biomarkers and MRI features, showed good performance in preoperatively predicting MVI in cHCC-CCA patients.
Healthy infants aged 0-2 year with no respiratory diseases to provide a reference values. A structured light pattern (Structured Light Plethysmography (SLP) - Pneumscan) will be projected onto the chest and abdominal wall and the movement of this pattern as the patient breathes will be recorded for 2 min. The total period of testing per session should take approximately 30 minutes per person.
Non-muscle invasive pT1 high-grade (HG) bladder cancer (NIMBC) represents a challenge for the urologists due to its aggressive behavior, with a marked tendency to recur after transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) and even progress to muscle-invasive disease. To limit the risk of upstaging and to provide more clinical information indispensable for the decision-making process, international guidelines strongly recommend a re-TURB to be performed within 2-6 weeks from the first resection in all pT1HG tumors. However, not all the published literature agrees on the value of re-TURB wich is also an invasive and morbid procedure, requires a general or locoregional anesthesia and, like all surgical procedure, it is not free of risks and complications. There is, therefore, an unmet need for improving the quality and completeness of TURB which may have an impact on the necessity of Re-TURB. It has been confirmed that fluorescence-guided biopsy and resection (photodynamic diagnosis-PDD) are more sensitive than conventional procedures for the detection of malignant tumours, particularly for CIS. PDD is performed using violet light after intra-vesical instillation of hexaminolaevulinic acid (Hexvix 85mg/50ml).To date, no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted aiming to compare the completeness of TURB with PDD compared to TURB with standard white light (WL).
PURPOSE: Amputations are a common surgical procedure resulting from trauma during earthquakes, leading to severe disability. This study aims to investigate surgical outcomes specific to amputations that occurred in Adıyaman after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes.
METHODS: This descriptive study included amputees who presented to Adıyaman University Training and Research Hospital. Between March 6, 2024 and March 29, 2024, amputees were contacted by phone and asked the questions in the form. Data analyzed included demographic information, number and level of amputated extremities, phantom limb pain, stump infection, extrication time, time to initiation of rehabilitation, number of revision, and whether a prosthesis was fitted.
RESULTS: The study reached 75 amputees. The mean age was 37.9 ± 19.2, and the most frequently amputated age group was adults. Stump infection was observed in 40 amputees (53.3%), phantom limb pain in 47 (62.6%), and revision in 29 (38.7%). The median extrication time was 36 h and initiation of rehabilitation time was 45 days. It was noted that 35 amputees (62.5%) used prostheses. A statistically significant relationship was found between fasciotomy and stump infection (p = .000). Infection was detected in 65% of those who underwent fasciotomy.
CONCLUSION: Earthquake-related amputations most frequently affected the adult age group and primarily involved lower extremity amputations, such as transfemoral and transtibial amputations. Phantom limb pain, need for revision, and infection are common in earthquake-induced amputations. Delayed fasciotomy increases the risk of stump infection. The data obtained in this study will help plan local health services to coordinate amputation care in disasters.
There is considerable variation from patient to patient in the amount of medication required for treatment. As with all drugs used to treat schizophrenia, dosage should be individualized according to the needs and response of each patient. Dosage adjustments, either upward or downward, should be carried out as rapidly as practicable to achieve optimum therapeutic control.

To determine the initial dosage, consideration should be given to the patient’s age, severity of illness, previous response to other antipsychotic drugs, and any concomitant medication or disease state. Debilitated or geriatric patients, as well as those with a history of adverse reactions to antipsychotic drugs, may require less haloperidol. The optimal response in such patients is usually obtained with more gradual dosage adjustments and at lower dosage levels.

Parenteral medication, administered intramuscularly in doses of 2 mg to 5 mg, is utilized for prompt control of the acutely agitated schizophrenic patient with moderately severe to very severe symptoms. Depending on the response of the patient, subsequent doses may be given, administered as often as every hour, although 4 to 8 hour intervals may be satisfactory. The maximum dose is 20 mg/day.

Controlled trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of intramuscular administration in children have not been conducted.

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

Switchover Procedure

An oral form should supplant the injectable as soon as practicable. In the absence of bioavailability studies establishing bioequivalence between these two dosage forms the following guidelines for dosage are suggested. For an initial approximation of the total daily dose required, the parenteral dose administered in the preceding 24 hours may be used. Since this dose is only an initial estimate, it is recommended that careful monitoring of clinical signs and symptoms, including clinical efficacy, sedation, and adverse effects, be carried out periodically for the first several days following the initiation of switchover. In this way, dosage adjustments, either upward or downward, can be quickly accomplished. Depending on the patient’s clinical status, the first oral dose should be given within 12 to 24 hours following the last parenteral dose.
Patients receive AL101 IV over 60 minutes QW for 6-8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 24-72 hours after the last infusion of AL101, patients undergo surgery per standard of care. Patients may continue AL101 after surgery at the discretion of the study doctor.

Recently, innate immunity and inflammation were recognized as the key factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by sepsis, which is closely related to high mortality. Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) has emerged as a critical component of innate immune and inflammatory responses. However, the role of STING in the pathogenesis of septic AKI remains unclear. This study demonstrated that the STING was significantly activated in tubular cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vivo and in vitro. Tubule-specific STING knockout attenuated LPS-induced renal dysfunction and pathological changes. Mechanistically, the STING pathway promotes NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) activation. STING triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to induce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) overproduction, enhancing thioredoxin-interacting protein activation and association with NLRP3. Eventually, the NLRP3 inflammasome leads to tubular cell inflammation and pyroptosis. This study revealed the STING-regulated network and further identified the STING/ER stress/mtROS/NLRP3 inflammasome axis as an emerging pathway contributing to tubular damage in LPS-induced AKI. Hence, targeting STING may be a promising therapeutic strategy for preventing septic AKI.

The present invention relates to methods for the rapid extraction of ciguatoxins from tissue samples. In one embodiment, a tissue sample is extracted with a first solvent to solubilize and extract ciguatoxin from the sample. A second solvent, which is not soluble in the first solvent and which extracts contaminants but not ciguatoxin, is then added. The phases formed by the first and second solvents are separated, and the first solvent phase is collected. The first solvent is evaporated from the first solvent phase to produce a residue which is resuspended in a third solvent. A  fourth solvent, which is not soluble in the third solvent and which extracts contaminants but not ciguatoxin, is added to the third solvent/residue mixture. The phases formed by the third and fourth solvents are separated, and the third solvent phase, which comprises ciguatoxin, is collected. In a second embodiment, a sample is applied to a coupled antibody-resin. The coupled antibody-resin is washed with a solution to remove unbound material, but not ciguatoxin, from the coupled antibody-resin, and ciguatoxin is then eluted from the coupled antibody-resin.

Background and Objectives: Postoperative bleeding is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality following liver resection. Therefore, it is crucial to minimize bleeding during liver resection and effectively manage it when it occurs. Arista® AH (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) is a microporous polysaccharide hemosphere (MPH), a new plant-derived polysaccharide powder hemostat that can be applied to the entire surgical field. This study prospectively assessed the effectiveness of Arista for bleeding control when applied intraoperatively to the liver resection surface. Materials and Methods: Data were collected at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital for patients who underwent liver resection owing to malignant hepatocellular carcinoma or benign liver diseases. We compared the outcomes between 45 patients managed with Arista® AH (data were prospectively collected between September 2022 and May 2023) and 156 patients managed without the use of Arista® AH (data were retrospectively collected between January 2021 and December 2021). Results: There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between the two groups. The estimated blood loss (EBL) was significantly lower in the Arista® AH group compared with the control group (495.56 ± 672.7 mL vs. 691.9 ± 777.5 mL, p = 0.049). The mean postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the Arista® AH group (5.93 ± 1.88 days vs. 6.94 ± 4.17 days, p = 0.024). The time to Jackson-Pratt drain removal was also significantly shorter in the Arista® AH group (4.64 ± 1.31 days vs. 5.30 ± 2.87 days, p = 0.030). The patient subgroup was divided into four categories based on the type of resection and the presence or absence of cirrhosis. Within the subgroup of major resections in non-cirrhotic patients, the Arista® AH group demonstrated significantly better outcomes compared to the control group, showed lower EBL, reduced need for blood transfusions, decreased volume of drain fluid collected within 48 h, earlier removal of drains, and shorter hospital stays. In contrast, for the other subgroups such as minor resection (both non-cirrhotic and cirrhotic) and major resection with cirrhosis, the differences between the Arista® AH and control groups in various parameters like EBL, blood transfusion rates, drain fluid volume, time to drain removal, and duration of hospital stay were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Arista® AH significantly improved intraoperative blood management and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing liver resection, particularly in non-cirrhotic patients who underwent major resection.
The genetics of β-cell function (BCF) offer valuable insights into the aetiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D)1,2. Previous studies have expanded the catalogue of BCF genetic associations through candidate gene studies3-7, large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of fasting BCF8,9 or functional islet studies on T2D risk variants10-14. Nonetheless, GWAS focused on BCF traits derived from oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) data have been limited in sample size15,16 and have often overlooked the potential for related traits to capture distinct genetic features of insulin-producing β-cells17,18. We reasoned that investigating the genetic basis of multiple BCF estimates could provide a broader understanding of β-cell physiology. Here, we aggregate GWAS data of eight OGTT-based BCF traits from ~26,000 individuals of European descent, identifying 55 independent genetic associations at 44 loci. By examining the effects of BCF genetic signals on related phenotypes, we uncover diverse disease mechanisms whereby genetic regulation of BCF may influence T2D risk. Integrating BCF-GWAS data with pancreatic islet transcriptomic and epigenomic datasets reveals 92 candidate effector genes. Gene silencing in β-cell models highlights ACSL1 and FAM46C as key regulators of insulin secretion. Overall, our findings yield insights into the biology of insulin release and the molecular processes linking BCF to T2D risk, shedding light on the heterogeneity of T2D pathophysiology.
