So far, confusion exists regarding the question of whether hereditary perifollicular fibromas and fibrofolliculomas can be distinguished from each other. Here, histopathological arguments are presented to clarify this terminological problem. In 1977, Birt et al. described a large kindred affected with hereditary multiple "fibrofolliculomas," which they thought were "a hitherto unrecognized pilar hamartoma," but they never claimed the fibrofolliculomas were part of a syndrome. A careful microscopic comparison shows, however, that the tumors are clinically and histopathologically identical to perifollicular fibromas, as first described by Burnier and Rejšek in 1925. Their familial occurrence was discovered in 1971 by Civatte and Le Tréguilly. Before 1977, the term "perifollicular fibroma" was used for these skin tumors. By contrast, Hornstein and Knickenberg described in 1975 perifollicular fibromas as a cutaneous marker of a syndrome characterized by a predisposition to colon cancer and pneumothorax. Later, two French groups erroneously proposed the term "Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome" to describe the co-occurrence of fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas, and acrochordons, which was contrary to what Birt et al. had in mind. Hence, today, we should discriminate between the hereditary nonsyndromic perifollicular fibromas, as documented by Civatte and Le Tréguilly and later by Birt et al., and the syndromic perifollicular fibromas, as delineated by Hornstein and Knickenberg.
Introduction: Severe pain, anxiety, and high opioid use are common following lumbar spine surgery (LSS). Yoga helps to reduce pain and anxiety, but it has not been considered for postsurgical care. The authors developed and tested the feasibility of a tailored yoga program designed for individuals undergoing LSS and explored clinical feasibility of yoga intervention on measures of pain, function, psychological status, and opioid use. Methods: Individuals scheduled for LSS were randomized into yoga versus control groups presurgery. Participants in the yoga group received tailored yoga sessions plus usual care, whereas participants in the control group received usual care only during the hospital stay post-LSS. In-person daily yoga sessions were individually presented and performed in the participant's hospital room. Feasibility was assessed by recruitment and retention rates, rate of yoga session completion, tolerance to yoga intervention, and ability to carry out planned assessment. Exploratory clinical outcomes included pain, psychological measures, Timed-Up-and-Go test, gait distance, and opioid use, during the hospital stay post-LSS. Results: Forty-one participants were enrolled, of which 30 completed. There were no dropouts. Planned assessments were completed within 45 min, suggesting no excessive burden on participants. Baseline variables were similar across both groups. The majority of participants participated in yoga intervention on the day of surgery or one day after surgery with acceptance rate of 100%. Participants showed good tolerance to yoga intervention on 0-4 tolerance scale and by their reports of exploratory clinical outcomes. Conclusion: This study indicates feasibility for a modified yoga program for postoperative care following LSS due to participant tolerance and retention. The results provide preliminary framework for future confirmatory studies that can assess the potential benefits of yoga in reducing pain, catastrophizing behavior, and opioid use and improving function. A modified yoga program focusing on diaphragmatic breathing, relaxation, and core isometric contraction exercises can be an important adjunct intervention for patients undergoing LSS.

INTRODUCTION: The rise of opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) aims to reduce postoperative pain while reducing opioid-related side effects during surgery. However, the various adjuvant agents used in OFA complicate the evaluation of their effectiveness and risks. Recent reviews question the clinical benefits of OFA, highlighting the need for thorough evaluation. This protocol describes a network meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness of OFA with opioid-based anaesthesia and will identify key components for optimal postoperative outcomes.
METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will perform a systematic search of literature published in English without time restriction in Embase, The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (via PubMed) and CINAHL, along with Google Scholar for grey literature. The final search will be performed on 1 October 2024. We will include randomised controlled trials with adult patients undergoing surgery with general anaesthesia, excluding preclinical, observational, regional anaesthesia-only and prolonged anaesthesia outside the operating room studies. The primary outcome is postsurgical pain scores, with secondary outcomes including quality of recovery, opioid consumption, adverse effects and long-term events. We will assess bias using the Cochrane risk of bias 2 tool and conduct Bayesian network meta-analyses for pooled estimates. We will report effect estimates as ORs and standardised mean differences with 95% credible intervals and assess certainty using GRADE methodology.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required for this systematic review. Results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at national and international anaesthesia and pain management conferences.
PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42024505853.
100 patients with Unexplained Atherosclerosis, and 5 donors with the protected phenotype will be recruited; there will be extensive microbial, viral and parasitic screening of the donors. Recipients will be randomized to receive capsules of stool from the donors, or cellulose placebo. Recipients will take cloxacillin 500 mg 4 times daily for 5 days before the FMT, and will undergo purging with an electrolyte solution, (PegLyte) the day before the FMT. Metagenomic analysis of the recipient stool will be performed before FMT, 6 weeks later and after 12 months.Plasma levels of toxic intestinal metabolites will be measured before FMT, at 6 weeks and 12 months after FMT; the levels to be measured will be TMAO, P-cresylsulfate, Hippuric acid. Indoxyl sulfate, P-cresyl glucuronide. Phenyl acetyl glutamine, and Phenyl sulfate.

The investigators will analyze the metagenomic changes in the intestinal microbiome of recipients that are associated with decline in the plasma levels of the metabolic products of the intestinal microbiome to identify candidate bacteria for an "ecosystem therapeutic for atherosclerosis. Based on previous experience of designing such a therapeutic for clostridium difficile, it is anticipated that \~ 40 bacterial species would be needed.
Additives may be incompatible; norepinephrine and dobutamine are incompatible with sodium bicarbonate solution.

The addition of sodium bicarbonate to parenteral solutions containing calcium should be avoided, except where compatibility has been previously established. Precipitation or haze may result from sodium bicarbonate/calcium admixtures. NOTE: Do not use the injection if it contains precipitate.

Additives may be incompatible. Consult with pharmacist, if available. When introducing additives, use aseptic technique, mix thoroughly and do not store.

Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects. 

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with sodium bicarbonate. It is also not known whether sodium bicarbonate can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Sodium bicarbonate should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
After treatment with VYONDYS 53, all patients evaluated (n=25) in Study 1 Part 2 [see Clinical Studies (14)] had an increase in skipping of exon 53 demonstrated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), compared to baseline. 

In Study 1 Part 2 [see Clinical Studies (14)], dystrophin levels as assessed by the Sarepta western blot assay increased from 0.10% (SD 0.07) of normal at baseline to 1.02% (SD 1.03) of normal after 48 weeks of treatment with VYONDYS 53. The mean change from baseline in dystrophin after 48 weeks of treatment with VYONDYS 53 was 0.92% (SD 1.01) of normal levels (p<0.001); the median change from baseline was 0.88%. This increase in dystrophin protein expression positively correlated with the level of exon skipping. Dystrophin levels assessed by western blot can be meaningfully influenced by differences in sample processing, analytical technique, reference materials, and quantitation methodologies. Therefore, comparing dystrophin results from different assay protocols will require a standardized reference material and additional bridging studies. 

Correct localization of truncated dystrophin to the sarcolemma in muscle fibers of patients treated with golodirsen was demonstrated by immunofluorescence staining.
Patients in Group C will receive anti-interleukin 2 receptor antibody (Basiliximab)for induction therapy. Patients will receive the same doses of regular immunosuppressive agents including calcineurin inhibitor, glucocorticoid, and MMF as in Group A.
BACKGROUND: Worldwide, chronic diseases are prevalent among the older adults, significantly affecting their health and healthcare system. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these challenges, disrupting healthcare services. Our study assesses the impact on older individuals with chronic diseases who were not infected with COVID-19, analyzing comorbidities, medication use, mortality rates, and resource utilization using real data from Aragon, Spain.
METHODS: A retrospective observational study, conducted in Aragon, Spain, focused on individuals aged 75 and older with at least one chronic disease, who were not infected of COVID-19. The research used actual data collected during three distinct periods: the first covered the six months prior to the pandemic, the second the six months after the lockdown, and the third the period between six and twelve months. Key variables included socio-demographics, comorbidities, clinical parameters, medication use, and health services utilization.
RESULTS: We included 128.130 older adults. Mean age was 82.88 years, with 60.3% being women. The most common chronic diseases were hypertension (73.2%), dyslipidemia (52.5%), and dorsopathies (31.5%). More than 90% had more than 2 conditions. A notable decline in new chronic disease diagnoses was observed, particularly pronounced in the six to twelve months period after lockdown. Although statistically significant differences were observed in all clinical variables analyzed, they were considered clinically irrelevant. Furthermore, a decrease in healthcare services utilization and medication prescriptions was reported.
CONCLUSION: Our study highlights a decrease in new chronic disease diagnoses, ongoing reductions in healthcare utilization, and medication prescriptions for older adults with pre-existing chronic conditions, unaffected by COVID-19.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of caffeinated chewing gum on 400-meter sprint performance. 20 trained sprinter were divided into caffeine Gum trial (CAF) and Placebo trial (PL) with a randomized, double-blind study design. The participants chewing either caffeine Gum (CAF trial, containing 3 mg/kg of caffeine) or Placebo Gum (PL) for 10 minutes. After rested for 15 minutes, the participants underwent a Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test. After a 30-minute break, a 400-meter sprint test was performed. The blood lactate concentration were collected before and after 400-meter sprint from finger. Saliva samples were predicted to be collected before chewing gum, before the RAST, and after a 400-meter sprint. Saliva samples will be analyzed for caffeine and α-amylase concentrations in saliva.
In the control group, the institution's routine nebula application will be performed and no intervention will be made. Vital signs (pulse, respiration and SPo2), Child Fear Scale and Child Anxiety Scale-State Statement Scale (CAS-D) will be evaluated by the researcher and the child before, immediately and 5 minutes after the application and recorded in the intervention follow-up form by the researcher.
Extensive intraductal carcinoma of the breast refers to a type of breast cancer in which ≥ 25% of ductal carcinoma in situ is present in invasive tumors and there is a scattered distribution of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in or around the invasive carcinoma. Studies have shown that patients with DCIS positive for extensive intraductal component have more residual tumors than patients with DCIS negative for extensive intraductal component. There are still many subclinical tumors in the residual mammary gland after removal of the main invasive tumor foci. This provides the condition for tumor recurrence after breast-conserving surgery, and the risk of tumor recurrence in DCIS positive for extensive intraductal component is 2.52 times that in DCIS negative for extensive intraductal component. Compared with DCIS negative for extensive intraductal component, DCIS positive for extensive intraductal component is not sensitive to radiotherapy.

Mckissock surgery is originated from a breast reduction surgery developed by American doctors in 1970, which can remove glands to the maximum extent. This technique was applied to breast-conserving surgery in 2016, which initiated the application of this operation in malignant tumors. Jianyi Li and the team members (Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China) first applied expanded Mckissock surgery in breast-conserving surgery with the nipple-areola complex preserved. This surgical technique is suitable for low-grade malignant tumors. This surgical technique has been performed in 30 patients and results showed that the expanded Mckissock surgery has better prognosis than radical mastectomy. Therefore, this prospective cohort study will compare the postoperative disease-free survival and quality of life between modified radical mastectomy and expanded Mckissock surgery.

A care delivery system detects an event from one or more sensors. The event indicates a safety risk to a patient in a first location. The system determines a clinical workflow based on the safety risk, and one or more rules defined by a healthcare facility in a second location remote from the first location. The system initiates a telehealth consultation based on the clinical workflow. The telehealth consultation includes the patient and a first caregiver in the second location. The system generates an alert identifying the safety risk, and routes the alert to a second caregiver based on the clinical workflow.
BACKGROUND: Rates of alcohol consumption and obesity are increasing in many Western populations. For some cancer types, both heavy alcohol consumption and obesity are independently associated with increased risk. Whether combined exposure to both synergistically increases an individual's risk of cancer is unclear. We performed a systematic review to assess whether alcohol and obesity interact to confer higher risk for cancer than the additive sum of their effects.
METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted from the inception date to 13 February 2024 of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science to identify studies of alcohol, obesity, and cancer risk. We aimed to undertake a meta-analysis if there were sufficient data.
RESULTS: The literature search identified 17,740 potentially eligible studies. After review, 24 studies were included. Eleven reported on the association between alcohol consumption and cancer risk in individuals according to their body mass index (BMI), nine reported on the association between BMI and cancer risk in individuals according to their alcohol consumption, and six studies examined potential synergistic interactions between alcohol consumption and obesity on cancer risk. However, there were insufficient data and significant heterogeneity in the cancers studied to undertake meta-analysis, therefore a systemic review and narrative synthesis was conducted. Overall, there was no consistent pattern of interaction between alcohol use and overweight/obesity on cancer risk across cancer types.
CONCLUSIONS: While alcohol and obesity are prevalent and important risk factors for a range of cancers, data are lacking on whether their combined exposure may synergistically increase an individual's risk for cancer. Further study across more cancer types is required to better understand the nature of interactions between alcohol use and obesity on cancer risk.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is caused by abnormal blood vessel dilation and subsequent rupture, resulting in blood pooling in the subarachnoid space. This neurological insult results in the activation of the inflammasome, a multiprotein complex that processes pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 cytokines leading to morbidity and mortality. Moreover, increases in inflammasome proteins are associated with clinical deterioration in many neurological diseases. Limited studies have investigated inflammasome protein expression following aSAH. Reliable markers of the inflammatory response associated with aSAH may allow for earlier detection of patients at risk for complications and aid in the identification of novel pharmacologic targets. Here, we investigated whether inflammasome signaling proteins may serve as potential biomarkers of the inflammatory response in aSAH. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from fifteen aSAH subjects and healthy age-matched controls and hydrocephalus (CSF) no-aneurysm controls were evaluated for levels of inflammasome signaling proteins and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. Protein measurements were carried out using Simple Plex and Single-Molecule Array (Simoa) technology. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) to obtain information on biomarker reliability, specificity, sensitivity, cut-off points, and likelihood ratio. In addition, a Spearman r correlation matrix was performed to determine the correlation between inflammasome protein levels and clinical outcome measures. aSAH subjects demonstrated elevated caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein with a caspase recruiting domain (ASC), IL-18 and IL-1β levels in serum, and CSF when compared to controls. Each of these proteins was found to be a promising biomarker of inflammation in aSAH in the CSF. In addition, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β were found to be promising biomarkers of inflammation in aSAH in serum. Furthermore, we found that elevated levels of inflammasome proteins in serum are useful to predict worse functional outcomes following aSAH. Thus, the determination of inflammasome protein levels in CSF and serum in aSAH may be utilized as reliable biomarkers of inflammation in aSAH and used clinically to monitor patient outcomes.

The recent development of new methods to detect misfolded α-synuclein (αSyn) aggregates in biofluids and tissue biopsies in the earliest Parkinson's disease (PD) phases is dramatically challenging the biological definition of PD. The αSyn seed amplification methods in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed high sensitivity and specificity for early diagnosis of PD and Lewy bodies disorders. Several studies in isolated REM sleep behavior disorders and other at-risk populations also demonstrated a high prevalence of CSF αSyn positivity and its potential value in predicting the phenoconversion to clinically manifested diseases. Growing evidence exists for αSyn aggregates in olfactory mucosa, skin, and other tissues in subjects with PD or at-risk subjects. DOPA decarboxylase and numerous other candidates have been additionally proposed for either diagnostic or prognostic purposes in earliest PD phases. The newly described αSyn detection in blood, through its quantification in neuronally-derived exosome vesicles, represents a technical challenge that could open a new scenario for the biological diagnosis of PD. Despite this growing evidence in the field, most of method of αSyn detection and markers still need to be validated in ongoing longitudinal studies through an accurate assessment of different prodromal disease subtypes and scenarios before being definitively implemented in clinical settings.
