STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review was to create an overview of available instruments used to evaluate the menstrual complaints of dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in adolescents.
METHODS: The search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and PsycINFO on December 1, 2022. Studies published in English reporting on menstrual complaints among girls aged 10-19 were included. The quality and bias risk was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2.
RESULTS: Of 8994 identified studies, 57 were included. In these studies, 19 instruments were described, of which 8 were validated in adolescents. One was difficult to use in daily practice, 1 had low sensitivity and specificity in the detection of HMB, 2 were validated by face validity, and 2 were not specifically developed to evaluate (the impact of) menstrual complaints. Therefore, only 2 were validated and feasible to measure adolescent menstrual complaints: the Period ImPact and Pain Assessment (PIPPA) and the Adolescent Menstrual Bleeding Questionnaire (aMBQ). Remarkably, the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) was the most frequently used instrument in adolescents. There was one modified version of the PBAC for adolescents, which had a lower cutoff value for HMB and low sensitivity and specificity.
CONCLUSION: We found that the PIPPA and aMBQ are suitable for assessing menstrual complaints and their impact on daily activities and health-related quality of life in adolescents. The PBAC, which is used frequently in adults, needs to be further assessed specifically for adolescents. In particular, the clinical relevance of the PBAC cutoff value for HMB should be determined for this age group. Considering the different interpretations, experiences, and limited knowledge of menstrual complaints, instruments suitable for adults may not be suitable for adolescents.
[Problem] The purpose of the present invention is to prevent refilling of an incorrect drug into a drug-collecting container provided to a drug dispensing device. [Solution] A user first places a container 210 on a mounting part 410. The user then causes a symbol 511 on a bottle 500 to be read into an optical scanner 330. A drug dispensing device 100 then determines whether a drug in the bottle 500 is the correct drug to refill in the container 210. When the drug is not correct, an indication that the drug is not correct is displayed in a display 320. When the drug is correct, a camera 340 captures video of the drug refilling operation performed by the user. When refilling of the drug is completed, the camera 340 captures an image of the drug in the container 210. The display 320 then displays the captured image of the drug and an image of the correct drug to be refilled into the container 210. The user views the images and confirms whether the drug refilled into the container 210 is correct. When this confirmation is not completed, the drug dispensing device 100 does not dispense the drug from the container 210.
Clinical and preclinical data from studies with other coronaviruses suggest an evident neurotropism, which may result in more complex clinical scenarios. Can the SARS-CoV-2 enter the Central Nervous System (CNS) and infect neural cells ? And if yes, how the CNS damage contributes to pathophysiology of the COVID-19, to its signs, symptoms and progression as well as to its sequelae. It has been demonstrated that coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV do not limit their presence to the respiratory tract and frequently invade the CNS. The intranasal administration of SARS-CoV-1 or MERS-COV resulted in the rapid invasion of viral particles into the brain of mice, possibly through the olfactory bulb via trans-synaptic route. The brainstem, which hosts the respiratory neuronal circuit in the medulla, was severely infected with both types of viruses, which may contribute to degradation and failure of respiratory centres.
Nystatin: Nystatin exerts its antifungal activity against a variety of pathogenic and nonpathogenic yeasts and fungi by binding to sterols in the cell membrane. The binding process renders the cell membrane incapable of functioning as a selective barrier. Nystatin provides specific anticandidal activity to Candida (Monilia) albicans and other Candida species, but is not active against bacteria, protozoa, trichomonads, or viruses. 

Nystatin is not absorbed from intact skin or mucous membranes.

Triamcinolone Acetonide: Triamcinolone acetonide is primarily effective because of its anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions, characteristic of the topical corticosteroid class of drugs. The pharmacologic effects of the topical corticosteroids are well known; however, the mechanisms of their dermatologic actions are unclear. Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. There is some evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man. 

Pharmacokinetics: the extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). 

Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). 

Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. Corticosteroids are metabolized primarily in the liver and are then excreted by the kidneys. Some of the topical corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile.

Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetonide: During clinical studies of mild to severe manifestations of cutaneous candidiasis, patients treated with nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide showed a faster and more pronounced clearing of erythema and pruritus than patients treated with nystatin or triamcinolone acetonide alone.
BACKGROUND: Bacterial aggregation has been shown to occur in synovial fluid which are resistant to high concentrations of antibiotics. Yet the propensity of Candida spp. to form aggregates is unknown.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the ability of numerous Candida spp. to form synovial fluid aggregates and the clinical ramifications of the aggregates.
METHODS: Nine different Candidal prosthetic joint infection clinical isolates were evaluated for their ability to form aggregates at static and dynamic conditions and their resistance to high concentrations of amphotericin. Furthermore, the ability of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) to disrupt the aggregates and enhance amphotericin activity was assessed.
RESULTS: The results show that all species of Candida spp. evaluated formed aggregates in synovial fluid under dynamic conditions that were resistant to amphotericin. Yet no aggregates formed in tryptic soy broth under any conditions or in synovial fluid under static conditions. As well, when TPA was combined with amphotericin there was a statistically significant decrease (p < .005) in the amount of colony forming units per mL for all Candidal species evaluated. Interestingly, for Candida krusei there was no colony forming units observed after exposure to TPA and amphotericin.
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that Candidal species form synovial fluid aggregates that are resistant to high dose amphotericin similar to those that occur with bacteria. However, the varying ability of the different Candida spp. to form hyphae and pseudohyphae compared to yeast cells may have direct impacts on the hardiness of the aggregates and thereby have clinical ramifications with respect to treatment durations.
The invention relates to a preparation technology and a production method of a novel five-flavor decoction integrated dosage form. The novel five-flavor decoction integrated dosage form consists of the following raw material active ingredients in parts by weight: 9 parts of Chinese magnoliavine fruit, 1.5 parts of galanga, 1.5 parts of dried orange peel, 1.5 parts of fennel, 17.5 parts of liquoric root and 22 parts of fried salt. The production process comprises ultrasonic speed fluid energy milling, alcohol-water extraction, ultrasonic wave smashing and extracting, water decoction concentration, ultrasonic speed spray drying, nanometer grinding, high-pressure homogenization, nanoparticle preparation and the like. In the invention, the advantages of multi-coordination, multi-targeting and the like represented in a nano-carrier coupling technique are utilized. After large-scale production is performed, the production cost can be reduced greatly, the product quality can be enhanced greatly, and the targeting property and controlled release property of a medicament can be enhanced. A five-flavor decoction can be administrated internally and externally, and can be taken at four time intervals according to midnight-noon ebb-flow and the qi-blood flow rule of a human body. The five-flavor decoction can be prepared into a film forming agent and a transdermal agent which are attached to different positions of a human body respectively according to midnight-noon ebb-flow and the qi-blood flow rule of the human body and can be directly absorbed through skin.
The prevalence of obesity-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance is increasing worldwide. We previously demonstrated that sesaminol increases thermogenesis in adipocytes, improves insulin sensitivity, and mitigates obesity in mice. In this study, we demonstrated that sesaminol increased mitochondrial activity and reduced ROS production in hepatocytes. Therefore, we delve into the metabolic action of sesaminol in obesity-induced NAFLD or metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MAFLD). Here, we report that sesaminol induces OXPHOS proteins and mitochondrial function in vivo. Further, our data suggest that sesaminol administration reduces hepatic triacylglycerol accumulation and LDL-C levels. Prominently, the lipidomics analyses revealed that sesaminol administration decreased the major phospholipids such as PC, PE, PI, CL, and PS to maintain membrane lipid homeostasis in the liver upon HFD challenge. Besides, SML reduced ePC and SM molecular species and increased PA levels in the HFD-fed mice. Also, sesaminol renders anti-inflammatory properties and dampens fibrosis markers in the liver. Remarkably, SML lowers the hepatic levels of ALT and AST enzymes and alleviates NAFLD in diet-induced obese mice. The molecular docking analysis identifies peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors as potential endogenous receptors for sesaminol. Together, our study demonstrates plant lignan sesaminol as a potential small molecule that alters the molecular species of major phospholipids, including sphingomyelin and ether-linked PCs in the liver tissue, improves metabolic parameters, and alleviates obesity-induced fatty liver disease in mice.
Acute lung injury (ALI) has been a hot topic in the field of critical care research in recent years. Mitochondrial dynamics consists of mitochondrial fusion and mitochondrial fission. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), a key molecule that regulates mitochondrial fission, is important in the oxidative stress and inflammatory response to ALI. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a core protein that mediates mitochondrial biogenesis. G-protein pathway suppressor 2 (GPS2) acts as a transcriptional cofactor with regulatory effects on nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of PGC-1α/Drp1-mediated mitochondrial dynamics involved in ALI and to demonstrate the protective mechanism of GPS2 in regulating mitochondrial structure and function and inflammation in ALI. The ALI model was constructed using LPS-induced wild-type mice and human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMVECs). It was found that lung injury, oxidative stress and inflammation were exacerbated in the mice ALI model and that mitochondrial structure and function were disrupted in HPMVECs. In vitro studies revealed that LPS led to the upregulated expression of Drp1 and the downregulated expression of PGC-1α and GPS2. Mitochondrial division was reduced and respiratory function was restored in Drp1 knockdown cells, which inhibited oxidative stress and inflammatory response. In addition, the overexpression of PGC-1α and GPS2 significantly inhibited the expression of Drp1, mitochondrial function was restored, and inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inflammatory factor release. Moreover, the overexpression of GPS2 promoted the upregulated expression of PGC-1α. This mechanism was also validated in vivo, in which the low expression of GPS2 in mice resulted in the upregulated expression of Drp1 and the downregulated expression of PGC-1α, and further exacerbated LPS-induced ALI. In the present study, we also found that LPS-induced the downregulated expression of GPS2 may be associated with its increased degradation by the proteasome. Therefore, these findings revealed that GPS2 inhibited oxidative stress and inflammation by modulating PGC-1α/Drp1-mediated mitochondrial dynamics to alleviate LPS-induced ALI, which may provide a new approach to the therapeutic orientation for LPS-induced ALI.
Male patients (16-65 year old) who admitted to a university hospital intensive care unit with moderate to severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) were enrolled using consecutive sampling. Inclusion criteria were GCS of 4-12, enteral nutrition started in 24 hours after admission, having mechanical ventilation. The procedure and protocol of the study was approved by the Ethic Committee of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Written informed consent were obtained from patient's relative. After recording anamnesis, patients were examined physically. Urgent actions were done, simple radiography were taken from skull and CT-scan were performed if it is necessary. Patients who had internal bleeding, obvious fractures in their limbs, history of metabolic or psychiatric disorder, alcohol or drug dependency, underlying diseases, or vegetarian diet would be excluded from the study. Patients' base line information including age, sex, vital signs, GCS, clinical symptoms at time of reception, diagnosis based on CT-scan, type of treatment (medicinal or surgical) and surgical area of body were recorded. patients were then divided into two experimental groups: (1) receiving epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) supplement (case group, n = 15) and (2) receiving placebo (control group, n = 15). EGCG supplement was in the form of 400 mg oral capsules with a purity of 80% catechin. EGCG powder of each capsule was dissolved in 10 ml deionized water and given to patients via gavage (1 capsule per day) for a week. Placebo group only received 10 ml of deionized water via gavage for a week. During that week, GCS of patients was recorded by a neurosurgery resident who was blinded. For seven days, vital signs, glucose, hematocrit, haemoglobin, platelet were recorded every day at 9:00 a.m. Duration of the connection to mechanical ventilation was also recorded.

In order to analyze serum S100B protein level, 5 ml serum was taken from patients at 1st day and 8th day of the admission and stored at -80⁰C. Human S100B ELISA kit was used to quantify the level of S100B protein.

Statistical analysis

distribution of all continuous variables was assessed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Normal distributed variables were compared by independent samples t-test. Not-normal distributed variables were assessed by Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U-test. P value less than .05 would be considered as statistically significant for all tests. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA).
Participants in the control group will continue with their usual treatment and will receive a 15-minute call once a week for eight weeks from an Investigator on a health topic. This will help to keep members of the control group engaged in the project and receive the same information that is offered to the intervention group members. The health topics that are generally discussed during NFB sessions include sleep hygiene, basic nutritional concepts, beverage choices, positive thinking, thought reframing, fitness, daily calming activity, and enhancement of focus strategies.
Disclosed and claimed are compositions containing a Borrelia burgdorferi antigen, and methods for making and using them. The antigen can be OspA.

The compositions are useful for eliciting an immunological response in a host mammal susceptible to Lyme Disease and to the mammalian pathogen other than Borrelia burgdorferi. Suitable host mammals include dogs, pups, horses, and, the additional antigen can be of a canine, equine or feline pathogen, such as rabies, canine distemper, adenovirus, coronavirus, parainfluenza and parvovirus. No significant efficacy interference is observed.
In cirrhotic patient undergoing liver transplantation, there are an altered patterm of circulation, which is characterized by increased cardiac output, decreased peripheral vascular resistance, and reduced ventricular response to physiological, pharmacological, and surgical stress. Large blood loss and clamping/declamping of the inferior vena cava and portal vein during liver transplantation surgery can affect intravascular volume status, which in turn can lead to hemodynamic instability. Therefore, reliable cardiac output monitoring is particularly useful in the cirrhotic patient undergoing liver transplant. Pulmonary artery thermodilution has been used as a standard method for cardiac output assessment for many years. Pulmonary artery catheter can cause rare but serious complications. And it has some limitations for continuously monitoring cardiac output during rapid hemodynamic changes.

Recently, several minimally invasive CO monitors have been developed. The pulse contour technique continuously estimates CO through mathematical analysis of the waveform of arterial pressure. However, previous studies evaluating the reliability of the pulse contour techniques indicated conflicting results in cirrhotic patients during liver transplantation. Most of studies were performed by analyzing from radial artery pressure waveform. Because of rapid changing of intravascular volume, using inotropics, the monitoring of femoral artery pressure has been recommended during liver transplantation.

A new pulse wave analysis system has developed and introduced into clinical practice that consists of a specific thermistor -tipped femoral arterial catheter ( the VolumeView™ catheter) and the EV1000™ monitoring platform ( Edward lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA). To continuously assess CO based on the femoral arterial pressure curve signal and it uses transpulmonary thermodilution for calibration. We are trying to evaluate the agreement of cardiac output measurements taken using EV1000™ / VolumeView™ with measurements taken using continuous pulmonary artery thermodilution cardiac output monitoring during orthotopic liver transplantation.

The pattern of toxicity exerted by the carboplatin-containing regimen was significantly different from that of the cisplatin-containing combinations. Differences between the two studies may be explained by different cisplatin dosages and by different supportive care.

The carboplatin-containing regimen induced significantly more thrombocytopenia and, in one study, significantly more leukopenia and more need for transfusional support. The cisplatin-containing regimen produced significantly more anemia in one study. However, no significant differences occurred in incidences of infections and hemorrhagic episodes.

Non-hematologic toxicities (emesis, neurotoxicity, ototoxicity, renal toxicity, hypomagnesemia, and alopecia) were significantly more frequent in the cisplatin-containing arms.
