Motility of detrusor smooth muscle includes adrenergic relaxation and cholinergic contraction. Since the latter may be deregulated in overactive bladder (OAB) pathophysiology, anticholinergics are the standard therapy but occasionally less tolerated due to side effects such as dry mouth and constipation. β3 adrenoceptor agonists also alleviate OAB symptoms by relaxing the detrusor muscle. Their age dependence, however, is far from understood. To address this issue, we induced contractions with KCl (60 mM) and carbachol (from 10 nM to 100 μM) in the presence of the β3 adrenoceptor agonist CL316,243 (from 0.1 to 10 μM) in both human and rat muscle strips. Our results confirmed that both contractions were attenuated by β3 adrenoceptor activation in both species, but with differing age dependence. In humans, specimens from mid-life subjects showed a significantly more pronounced effect of CL316,243 in attenuating carbachol-induced contractions than those from aged subjects (Cohen's d of maximal attenuation: 1.82 in mid-life versus 0.13 in aged) without altering EC50. Conversely, attenuation of KCl responses by CL316,243 increased during ageing (Spearman correlation coefficient = -0.584, P<0.01). In rats, both KCl- and carbachol-induced contractions were significantly more attenuated by CL316,243 in samples from adolescent as compared to aged samples. Immunohistochemistry in human detrusor sections proved β3 adrenoreceptor abundance to remain unaltered during ageing. In conclusion, our findings suggest differential age-dependent changes in human β3 adrenoceptor-dependent attenuation of detrusor contraction in terms of electromechanical versus pharmacomechanical coupling; they may help understand the differential responsiveness of OAB patients to β3 agents.
This phase of the study is a parallel design. Subjects will be assigned to experimental treatment (MAG-EPA) by randomization. Every subject in this arm will receive the same treatment at 1,5g/day for a period of eight weeks.
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether there is a difference in antibiotic administration time and prognosis in afebrile sepsis patients compared to febrile sepsis patients.
METHODS: This was retrospective multicenter observational study. Data collected from three referral hospitals. Data were collected from May 2014 through February 2016 under the SEPSIS-2 criteria and from March 2016 to April 2020 under the newly released SEPSIS-3 criteria. Patients were divided into two groups based on body temperature: afebrile (<37.3 °C) and febrile (≥37.3 °C). The relationship between initial body temperature and 28-day mortality were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. The subgroup analysis was conducted on patients with complete Hour-1 bundle performance records.
RESULTS: We included 4293 patients in this study. Initial body temperatures in 28-day survivors were significantly higher than in 28-day non-survivors (37.5 °C ± 1.2 °C versus 37.1 °C ± 1.2 °C, p < 0.01). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed in afebrile and febrile sepsis patients. Adjusted odds ratio of afebrile sepsis patients for 28-day mortality was 1.76 (95% Confidence interval 1.46-2.12). As a result of performing the Hour-1 bundle, the number of patients who received antibiotics within 1 h was smaller in the afebrile sepsis patients (323/2076, 15.6%) than in the febrile sepsis patients (395/2156, 18.3%) (p = 0.02). In the subgroup analysis of patients with complete Hour-1 bundle performance records adjusted odds ratio of afebrile sepsis patients for 28-day mortality was 1.68 (95% Confidence interval 1.34-2.11). The febrile sepsis patients received antibiotics faster than the afebrile sepsis patients (175.5 ± 207.9 versus 209.3 ± 277.9, p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Afebrile sepsis patients were associated with higher 28-day mortality compared to their febrile counterparts and were delayed in receiving antibiotics. This underscores the need for improved early detection and treatment strategies for the afebrile sepsis patients.

Adolescent obesity continues to be a public health challenge with poor quality diets contributing to its etiology. As part of the process to plan health promotion and policy interventions, understanding adolescents perceived facilitators and barriers to healthful eating is important. An integrative convergent mixed-methods systematic review was used to synthesize qualitative and quantitative evidence from studies among adolescents aged 10-19 years in high-income countries. Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, and Scopus were searched for peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2023 and exploring adolescents' perspectives on healthful eating and contemporary contextual factors. Transformed quantitative data were integrated with qualitative data. Text was coded into subthemes and themes using an inductive approach. Key facilitators included health and physical appearance; motivation; taste; nutrition knowledge, awareness, and skills; nutrition education access; availability and accessibility of healthful foods; family; and social influences and digital media. Key barriers included taste and cravings for unhealthful foods; mood; lack of motivation, awareness, knowledge, and skills; high availability and low cost of unhealthful foods; peers and social influences; ineffective school policies; high density of fast-food outlets; unhealthful food advertising; digital influences; and time constraints. Social, behavioral, digital, and food environmental factors should be considered from an adolescent perspective in the design of education, health promotion, and policy interventions.
Auditory neuropathy (AN) is a unique type of language developmental disorder, with no precise rate of genetic contribution that has been deciphered in a large cohort. In a retrospective cohort of 311 patients with AN, pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants of 23 genes were identified in 98 patients (31.5% in 311 patients), and 14 genes were mutated in two or more patients. Among subgroups of patients with AN, the prevalence of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants was 54.4% and 56.2% in trios and families, while 22.9% in the cases with proband-only; 45.7% and 25.6% in the infant and non-infant group; and 33.7% and 0% in the bilateral and unilateral AN cases. Most of the OTOF gene (96.6%, 28/29) could only be identified in the infant group, while the AIFM1 gene could only be identified in the non-infant group; other genes such as ATP1A3 and OPA1 were identified in both infant and non-infant groups. In conclusion, genes distribution of AN, with the most common genes being OTOF and AIFM1, is totally different from other sensorineural hearing loss. The subgroups with different onset ages showed different genetic spectrums, so did bilateral and unilateral groups and sporadic and familial or trio groups.

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, patients who recently experienced unstable angina with EKG changes or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI) were randomized to FRAGMIN Injection 120 units/kg or placebo every 12 hours subcutaneously. In this trial, unstable angina was defined to include only angina with EKG changes. All patients, except when contraindicated, were treated concurrently with aspirin (75 mg once daily) and beta blockers. Treatment was initiated within 72 hours of the event (the majority of patients received treatment within 24 hours) and continued for 5 days to 8 days. A total of 1,506 patients were enrolled and treated; 746 received FRAGMIN and 760 received placebo. The mean age of the study population was 68 years (range 40 years to 90 years) and the majority of patients were white (99.7%) and male (63.9%). The combined incidence of the endpoint of death or myocardial infarction was lower for FRAGMIN compared with placebo at 6 days after initiation of therapy. These results were observed in an analysis of all-randomized and all-treated patients. The combined incidence of death, MI, need for intravenous heparin or intravenous. nitroglycerin, and revascularization was also lower for FRAGMIN than for placebo (see Table 13).

In a second randomized, controlled trial designed to evaluate long-term treatment with FRAGMIN (6 days to 45 days), data were also collected comparing 1 week (5 days to 8 days) treatment of FRAGMIN 120 units/kg every 12 hours subcutaneously with heparin at an APTT-adjusted dosage. All patients, except when contraindicated, were treated concurrently with aspirin (100 mg per day to 165 mg per day). Of the 1,499 patients enrolled, 1,482 patients were treated; 751 received FRAGMIN and 731 received heparin. The mean age of the study population was 64 years (range 25 years to 92 years) and the majority of patients were white (96.0%) and male (64.2%). The incidence of the combined endpoint of death, myocardial infarction, or recurrent angina during this 1-week treatment period (5 days to 8 days) was 9.3% for FRAGMIN and 7.6% for heparin (p = 0.323).
Molecular cloning and expression of a prostaglandin F2alpha receptor which is linked to the signal transduction pathways via guanine nucleotide binding regulatory (G) proteins and measured by, for example, cAMP, IP3 or intracellular calcium. By constructing cell lines that express a prostaglandin F2alpha receptor, the affinities and efficacies of agonist and antagonist drugs with the receptor can be assessed. A recombinant DNA construct includes a vector and a DNA fragment encoding a prostaglandin F2alpha receptor. A host cell is transformed with a recombinant DNA construct, so that the DNA fragment is expressed and a prostaglandin F2alpha receptor is produced. Suitable host systems include eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, especially mamalian cells such as rat or human. Additionally, for diagnostic purposes, antibodies to a prostaglandin F2alpha receptor can be prepared by producing all or a portion of the receptor protein and injecting these into various types of mammals. Using the resulting antibodies, expression of an F2alpha receptor cDNA, i.e. receptor protein in tissue and cells can be measured.
In 2019-2022, a prolonged outbreak of oxacillinase (OXA)-48-producing Citrobacter farmeri due to a persistent environmental contamination, occurred in our haematology intensive care unit. In April 2019, we isolated OXA-48-producing C. farmeri from rectal samples of two patients in weekly screenings. The cases had stayed in the same hospital room but 4 months apart. We screened five patients who had stayed in this room between the two cases and identified a third case. Over the following 3 years, five other cases were detected, the last case in September 2022. In total, eight cases were detected: seven colonised with the bacterium and one infected with a lethal outcome. All cases stayed in the same hospital room. We detected OXA-48-producing C. farmeri from a shower, washbasin drains and wastewater drainage of the bathroom of the hospital room. Molecular typing confirmed that all C. farmeri isolates from the environment and the cases were indistinguishable. Despite bundle measures to control the outbreak, the bacterium persisted in the system, which resulted in transmission to new patients. A design defect in the placement of wastewater drains contributed to the persistence and proliferation of the bacterium. The room was closed after the last case and the bathroom rebuilt.

Hemophilia, which is a rare disease, results from congenital deficiencies of coagulation factors VIII and IX, respectively, leading to spontaneous bleeding into joints, resulting in hemophilic arthropathy (HA). HA involves complex processes, including synovial proliferation, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. Despite ongoing research, factors contributing to HA progression, especially in adults with severe HA experiencing joint pain, remain unclear. Blood markers, particularly collagen-related ones, have been explored to assess joint health in hemophilia. For example, markers like CTX-I and CTX-II reflect bone and cartilage turnover, respectively. Studies indicate elevated levels of certain markers post-bleeding episodes, suggesting joint health changes. However, longitudinal studies on collagen turnover and basement membrane or endothelial cell markers in relation to joint outcomes, particularly during painful episodes, are scarce. Given the role of the CX3CL1/CX3XR1 axis in arthritis, other studies investigate its involvement in HA. The importance of different inflammatory and bone damage biomarkers should be assessed, alongside articular cartilage and synovial membrane morphology, aiming to enhance understanding of hemophilic arthropathy progression.
Background and Objectives: Obesity is a major nutritional problem with an increasing prevalence among children and adolescents. The uridine-diphosphate-glucuronosyl-transferase1A1 (UGT1A1) gene encodes the UDP-glucuronosyl transferase enzyme, converting the toxic form of bilirubin to a soluble, nontoxic form. There are yet to be studies on the evaluation of the UGT1A1 variant types detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and their effects on bilirubin levels in nonsyndromic obese children. Methods: Forty-five children with body mass index (BMI) >95 percentile (p) constituted the obesity group and fourteen healthy children with BMI <85p constituted the control group. Anthropometric, clinical features, and biochemical parameters were evaluated. Furthermore, the UGT1A1 gene was sequenced by NGS. Results: The obese patients had lower total, direct, and indirect bilirubin levels (p = 0.422, 0.026, and 0.568, respectively). In addition, obese patients had more genetic variations in the UGT1A1 gene compared with the control group (62.2% and 50%, respectively). We found that children with variations had higher total direct and indirect bilirubin levels compared with those without variation (p = 0.016, 0.028, and 0.015, respectively). Children diagnosed with obesity in the first two years of their life had fewer genetic variations and lower total bilirubin levels (p = 0.000 and 0.013, respectively). Conclusions: It is assumed that bilirubin can be protective against many chronic diseases. Although bilirubin levels are found to be lower in obese children compared with the control group, some variations in the UGT1A1 gene may be supported by raising bilirubin. We suggest that high bilirubin levels caused by those UGT1A1 variations may be protective against obesity and its many negative effects.

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenic obesity may affect the health outcome of people with obesity after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). To assess the impact of sarcopenic obesity (SO) on weight loss outcomes and improvement of quality of life after LSG.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This observational study included patients who underwent LSG with SO (99 patients) or without SO (146 patients) from a single center. The primary endpoint was weight loss and disease-specific quality of life in patients with or without SO after the operation. Fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) were calculated based on the L3-level images of preoperative CT scans. SO was diagnosed if FM/FFM ≥ 0.80.
RESULTS: Operative time and postoperative hospital stay days were longer in the SO group (p < 0.001). After LSG, weight, BMI, and EBMI were significantly lower in the NSO group than in the SO group (all P < 0.05), while %EWL and the number of patients with %EWL ≥ 100% were significantly lower in the SO group (both p < 0.05). The total BAROS scores of patients in the NSO group were higher than those in the SO group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the MA II questionnaire assessment showed a lower percentage of "very good" and "good" outcomes in the SO group (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with SO take a slower rate, longer time to reach the ideal weight, and lower quality of life self-ratings than NSO patients after LSG. Thus, preoperative evaluation and tailoring rehabilitation guidance for people with SO should be accounted.
