Severe hyperglycemia, in some cases associated with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar non-ketotic syndrome (HHNKS) or fatal cases of ketoacidosis, has occurred in adult patients treated with alpelisib in the oncology setting and may occur in patients treated with VIJOICE. VIJOICE is not approved for use in the oncology setting.

In the EPIK-P1 study, Grade 1 or 2 hyperglycemia was reported in 12% of patients treated with VIJOICE [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Before initiating treatment with VIJOICE, test fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, and optimize blood glucose. After initiating treatment with VIJOICE, monitor fasting glucose (FPG or fasting blood glucose) at least once every week for the first 2 weeks, then at least once every 4 weeks, and as clinically indicated. Monitor HbA1c every 3 months and as clinically indicated. Monitor fasting glucose more frequently for the first few weeks during treatment with VIJOICE in patients with risk factors for hyperglycemia, such as obesity (BMI ≥ 30), elevated FPG, HbA1c at the upper limit of normal or above, use of concomitant systemic corticosteroids, or age ≥ 75 [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].

If a patient experiences hyperglycemia after initiating treatment with VIJOICE, monitor fasting glucose as clinically indicated, and at least twice weekly until fasting glucose decreases to normal levels. During treatment with anti-hyperglycemic medication, continue monitoring fasting glucose at least once a week for 8 weeks, followed by once every 2 weeks and as clinically indicated. Consider consultation with a healthcare practitioner with expertise in the treatment of hyperglycemia and counsel patients on lifestyle changes.

The safety of VIJOICE in patients with Type 1 and uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes has not been established. Patients with a history of diabetes mellitus may require intensified hyperglycemic treatment. Closely monitor patients with diabetes.

Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue VIJOICE based on the severity as described in Table 5 [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

The program includes exercise with dual- and multi task performance and is progressive as the exercises can be performed at different levels (basic, moderate, and advanced). The 12-week balance training program will be performed two times per week for one hour each. The training will be lead by physiotherapists or trained leaders. After the balance training the participants will get recommendations for continued physical activity and training, i.e. "Physical activity on prescription".
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is an allergic disease that severely affects the eyesight of adolescents. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) usually occurs in temperate regions such as the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, Africa, Central America, and the Indian subcontinent. In the EU an estimated 3.2 per 10,000 inhabitants (0.03%). It occurs repeatedly and mainly involves type I and type IV hypersensitivity. long-term standardized treatment is necessary. Therefore, this research aims to compare the readily available cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops and Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% and Tobramycin Eye Drops 0.3% in developing regions of Asia (China, Jiangxi Province) for long-term drug use in VKC patients in developing countries provide evidence.
INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing worldwide. Several modifiable risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol drinking, physical inactivity, and obesity, have been linked to the development of NCDs in both genders. Understanding the prevalence of these risk factors and their associated factors is crucial for effective intervention planning in adult populations. This study aimed to provide an overview of the prevalence and associated factors of these risk behaviors among different genders of adults in West Kazakhstan.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in four regions of West Kazakhstan. A stratified multistage sampling technique was utilized to obtain a representative sample size of 4,800 participants aged 18 -69 years. Trained researchers administered face-to-face interviews using validated questionnaires to gather information pertaining to sociodemographic characteristics, smoking habits, alcohol drinking, dietary patterns, physical activity levels, body mass index (BMI), and prevalent diseases.
RESULTS: This study, which included 4,800 participants from West Kazakhstan, revealed some striking numerical findings. The overall prevalence rates of behavioral risk factors and metabolic conditions were as follows: smoking was 13.6% (95%CI: 3.2-24.0%), alcohol drinking was 47.0% (27.7-66.3%), current obesity was 22.3% (9.0-35.6%), and physical inactivity was 80.7% (55.4-106.0%). In addition, the overall prevalence rates of metabolic conditions were 25.6% (11.3-39.9%) for hypertension, 7.5% (0.2-15.2%) for diabetes, 11.8% (2.1-21.5%) for high cholesterol, and 13.0% (2.8-23.2%) for cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, a higher prevalence of high cholesterol was observed in men, and a greater prevalence of heart disease was identified in women. Multinomial logistic regression revealed that physical inactivity was associated with hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease, while obesity was linked to hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart disease.
DISCUSSION: This study in West Kazakhstan identified variations in the prevalence of behavioral risk factors and NCDs, highlighting gender, age, and regional disparities. Notably, men showed higher rates of smoking and alcohol drinking, while women exhibited a greater prevalence of physical inactivity and obesity. Gender and regional differences were evident, with the West Kazakhstan region standing out for distinct patterns. Tailored interventions are crucial to address these disparities and enhance public health in the region.

Relaxation exercises were made within the supervision of a physiotherapist. The application period was 20 minutes for one session, 3 days a week and totally six weeks.
In critically ill patients Candida spp. are frequently isolated from respiratory tract secretions such as endotracheal aspirates and bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) and are most often considered as colonizers of the respiratory tract. In contrast, pneumonia due to infection with Candida spp. is rare and is diagnosed by histological demonstration of the yeast in lung tissue with associated inflammation. In spite of this, preemptive antifungal therapy based on isolation of Candida spp. from the respiratory tract is often initiated in critically ill patients. The disadvantages of this approach include increased selective pressure for the development of antimicrobial resistance, potential risks of adverse drug reactions and high treatment costs. On the other hand, immediate administration of appropriate antifungal therapy has been shown to be an important predictor of favorable outcome for patients with invasive fungal infections. Therefore, the development of reliable diagnostic measures for the detection of invasive pulmonary candidiasis is crucial. The overall objective of the proposed research project is to identify diagnostic strategies to differentiate between Candida colonization and Candida infection of the lower respiratory tract in critically ill patients. The proposed projects intends to test the hypothesis that 1.) invasive Candida strains from the lower respiratory tract differ from colonizing Candida strains with regard to production and expression of putative virulence factors and/or that 2.) patients suffering from pulmonary invasive candidiasis differ from patients colonized by Candida spp. with regard to inflammatory markers, other serum markers (fungal antigen) and composition of indigenous pulmonary bacterial flora. For this purpose, pathogen related factors such as Candida prevalence, Candida quantity, phospholipases, secreted aspartyl proteinases, chromosome length polymorphism, transcriptional profiles, DFG16, SAP1-3, and SAP5 mRNA as well as human cellular and serum markers such as Dectin-1, TLR-2, TLR-4, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-10, IL-12, procalcitonin and (1→3) ß-D-Glucan, the indigenous pulmonary bacterial flora and underlying risk factors will be investigated in 6 different patient groups in this project. The results of this study should contribute to a better understanding of Candida colonization and Candida infections in the lower respiratory tract in critically ill patients. This should prospectively lead to a more targeted antifungal therapy and to a better outcome as well as to a reduction of unnecessary antifungal treatments and to a reduction of treatment costs in the future.
We are conducting a randomised controlled trial of weekly oral vitamin D supplements to low birth weight (\< 2.5 kg) term infants born in a large government hospital catering to a low-middle income population in Delhi. Mothers and infants are recruited at delivery and given weekly vitamin D supplements or placebo until 6 months of age. Data on infant morbidity, sun exposure and diet, with particular emphasis on breast milk and other milk intake, is collected by fieldworkers visiting the homes each fortnight. Mothers are encouraged to bring their infants to the hospital in case of any illness and at these visits the infant is seen by the project doctor who treats the infant and records additional morbidity data. At 6 months blood samples are being collected from a 20% random subsample of infants for measurement of 25OHD and indicators of immune activation. The primary outcome is mortality or incidence of any illness requiring admission to hospital.
The goal of this project is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to compare the degree to which brain regions of adolescents and adults with and without steroid-related endocrine disorders are engaged by tasks involving processing of emotionally salient stimuli. In healthy subjects, based on developmental continuities in the relevant psychological processes, we anticipate considerable similarity across age groups in the topography of brain regions engaged by relevant tasks. However, we hypothesize that developmental differences in cortico-limbic circuits of adolescents and adults will be reflected in patterns of fMRI activation. Specifically, we hypothesize in both adults and adolescents that attention and memory tasks involving the processing of emotionally salient stimuli will engage the amygdala, cingulate gyrus, and association cortex of medial/inferior prefrontal cortex and temporal regions. Nevertheless, height of task-associated activation is hypothesized to differ between adolescents and adults within these regions. Moreover, prior studies distinguish puberty vs. age-related aspects of cognitive development: some aspects of attention or memory development relate to changes in chronological age whereas other aspects, particularly those involving emotional processes, relate to pubertal status. Therefore, we expect eventually to use emotion-evoking fMRI tasks to test hypotheses on the presence of complementary, distinguishable puberty vs. age-related components of brain development. In patients with endocrine disorders, we expect to identify abnormal brain function related to defects in steroidogenesis, including in utero hyperandrogenism and hypocortisolism seen in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), congenital male hyperandrogenism seen in familial male precocious puberty (FMPP), and hypercortisolism seen as Cushing's Syndrome (CS).

To meet these initial goals, we developed and tested a number of attention/emotion tasks in healthy adults and healthy adolescents, tested systematically a few of these tasks in the fMRI, including a face-emotion processing task, an affective picture- processing task, a threat bias task, a dot-probe task, a reward-related task, and tasks probing social processing. We are now entering the 2nd phase of the protocol, in which we are focusing on endocrine disorders, CAH, FMPP and CS. We hypothesize that both face-emotion processing task, an affective picture- processing task will engage the amygdala, cingulate gyrus, and association cortices of the medial/inferior prefrontal and temporal regions differently as a function of time of occurrence, severity, and type of endocrine abnormalities.
The Epley maneuver was performed for all patients (both EpleyM and EpleyM\&Exe groups) included in this study until nystagmus had disappeared in each position. If nystagmus/vertigo was not seen, the Epley maneuver was not performed for patients at the 1st, 3rd, and 6th week assessments.
BACKGROUND: Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) is a recently developed non-invasive method for predicting clinically significant portal hypertension and esophageal varices in compensated advanced liver disease or cirrhosis. This study aims to validate the accuracy of SSM for screening high-risk esophageal varices among cirrhotic patients in Indonesia.
METHODS: This is a single-center, cross-sectional study. Patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent endoscopy at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta were included. Clinical data and data from laboratory tests, endoscopy, liver, and spleen stiffness measurement by transient elastography (TE) were collected. A 100 Hz spleen-dedicated TE probe was used for SSM.
RESULTS: Of 86 patients, 52 had high-risk esophageal varices. The median (IQR) value of SSM were significantly higher in patients with high-risk varices [36.1 kPa (IQR 21.5-59.1) vs. 70.3 kPa (IQR (52.2-86.0); p<0.001). SSM with a low cutoff value of 20 kPa had sensitivity and negative predictive value of 98.1% and 87.5%, respectively. The high cutoff value of 70 kPa had specificity and positive predictive value of 82.4% and 81.3%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: SSM is useful for screening high-risk esophageal varices. Furthermore, the new dual cutoff value can help rule-in and rule-out high-risk esophageal varices among cirrhotic patients in Indonesia.
Viruses are modified by coupling a polymer such as polyethylene glycol to obtain polymer-modified viruses that can exhibit reduced antigenicity while retaining infectivity, and which may exhibit increased circulation time in vivo. The polymer may be directly covalently attached or indirectly covalently attached via an intermediate coupling moiety to the virus. The polymer may also be indirectly noncovalently attached to the virus via a ligand such as an antibody having specificity for a viral surface component. To prepare the polymer-modified virus, the polymer is activated and coupled to the virus. A preferred activated polymer is tresyl-monomethoxypolyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of about 5000 daltons. The polymer-modified viruses have utility for therapeutic and diagnostic in vivo applications, and may be used to introduce a transgene into a target cell by infection, or be administered to a subject having a tumor where the polymer-modified virus localizes to the tumor.
AIMS: This study aimed to explore the change trend and group heterogeneity of psychosocial adjustment level and to determine its influencing factors among young and middle-aged patients with first-episode acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
METHODS AND RESULTS: The Psychosocial Adjustment Scale of Illness was used to assess the psychosocial adjustment level of the patients at 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge, respectively. Data were analysed using Pearson correlation analysis, generalized estimating equations, and growth mixed models. A total of 233 patients were included, and their psychosocial adjustment scores at the three time points were 57.18 ± 15.50, 36.17 ± 15.02, and 24.22 ± 12.98, respectively. The trajectories of changes in patients' psychosocial adjustment levels were divided into three latent categories: moderate adjustment improvement group (72.5%), low adjustment improvement group (16.3%), and persistent maladjustment group (11.2%). Among them, predictors of the persistent maladjustment group included no spouse, low monthly family income per capita, normal body mass index, never smoking, never exercising, combined with hyperlipidaemia, low social support, submission coping, and high perceived stress.
CONCLUSION: The psychosocial adjustment level of young and middle-aged patients with first-episode AMI showed an upward trend within 6 months after discharge, and there was group heterogeneity in the change trajectory of psychosocial adjustment level. It is suggested that a multicentre, large-sample longitudinal study should be carried out in the future, and the time of follow-up investigation should be extended to further clarify the change trajectory and influencing factors of psychosocial adjustment of patients with different subtypes, to provide the theoretical basis for formulating targeted intervention programmes.
This protocol aims to understand how brain regions are modulated by deep brain stimulation using scalp electroencephalographic recordings. This protocol covers many pathologies which are thought to relate to different brain networks impairements and are therefore complementary in the understanding of cortical activation and modulation of this activation by deep brain stimulation. These diseases are motor (parkinson..) and psychiatric (obsessive compulsive disorders, treatment resistant depression..). To activate brain networks of interest, either implicating brain regions dysfunctional in the diseases or brain regions stimulated by the electrode, the investigators can use cognitive task which are know to involve those networks, for instance motor task for motor diseases as clicking with a computer mouse when presented with a specific type of stimulus on the screen. EEG recordings can then be processed to retrieve cortical activation and modulation of this activation with stimulation (using an ON DBS OFF DBS procedure) during task processing. These data are also very precious to study brain dynamic networks and their modulation by DBS. After analysis of these results, this protocol aims to be used in order to refine targeting, for instance when correlating cortical modulation with DBS and clinical improvement with electrode positions.

Elevated serum corin concentrations in patients with cardiac diseases have been associated with adverse cardiovascular events and progressive renal dysfunction. This study aimed to determine the role of serum corin levels in predicting the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). We screened 323 patients admitted to the ICU in our institution from May 2018 through December 2019. After excluding patients receiving renal replacement therapy, 288 subjects were enrolled. Cases were divided equally into high (n = 144) and low (n = 144) corin groups according to median serum corin levels, using 910 pg/mL as the cut-off point. Patient characteristics and comorbidities were collected from medical records. The primary outcome was AKI within 48 h after ICU admission, while the secondary outcome was all-cause of mortality within 1 year. Compared with the low corin group, patients in the high corin group had higher prevalence rates of diabetes, cirrhosis, and nephrotoxic agent exposure; higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores, white blood cell counts, proteinuria, and serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels; but had lower initial estimated glomerular filtration rates. Furthermore, elevated serum corin was associated with higher risks of AKI within 48h of ICU admission (43.1% vs. 18.1%, p < 0.001) and all-cause mortality within one year (63.9% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.024). High corin level showed strongly positive results as an independent predictor of AKI (OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.11-4.19, p = 0.024) but not for the all-cause mortality after adjusting for confounding factors in multivariate analyses. Elevated circulating corin predicted AKI in critically ill patients, but did not predict all-cause mortality within 1 year. As a key enzyme in renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, corin expression may be regulated through a feedback loop following natriuretic peptide resistance and desensitization of natriuretic peptide receptors in different critically ill status.
Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) therapy will be given between 0-28 days after the completion of radiation therapy (XRT) AND no more than 60 days from completion of XRT. Vaccine will be given once weekly for 4 weeks. The 4 weeks (28 days) of vaccine administration will be followed by an observation visit. In patients with sufficient vaccine (on both Arms A and B), a maintenance therapy will be instituted. It will be administered at the same dose the patient was enrolled at and given every 2 weeks until vaccine is exhausted or there is evidence of tumor progression. The first dose of maintenance vaccine should be administered 7 days after completion of the observation visit.
A method for receiving prescription data from a pharmacy is provided. The method includes emulating a device, such as using a pseudo TTY feature of a Unix operating system or a pseudo device of a Windows operating system. A prescription authorization system is then set to transmit data to the emulated device when the prescription data is provided to a claims approval agency by the prescription authorization system. The data can be supplemented with data from a secondary source, such as a system that acquires data in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or other suitable systems . The prescription data and any supplemental data is then received at the prescription authorization system, and is transmitted to the emulated device. The prescription data is also stored in a local log file, and is transmitted to a data warehouse over a network using the emulated device.
The system uses television signals received via aerial (A) and on receiving circuits (B). Teletext information is extracted from the received signals by the decoder circuitry (C) and passed to a controller (D). The purpose of the controller, which is microprocessor based, is to convert the teletext information into a format that can directly be used by an output transducer (E). An input device (F), which can be a keyboard or keypad, allows commands to be passed on to the controller (D). The visually handicapped person can "read" the teletext information from the output transducer (E) in accordance with commands from the input device (F). The output transducer (E) may comprise a speech synthesiser, a Braille printer, or a Braille pad. @(7pp Dwg.No.1/1)@
