Novel therapies for multiple myeloma (MM) have improved patient survival, but their high costs strain healthcare budgets. End-of-life phases of treatment are generally the most expensive, however, these high costs may be less justifiable in the context of a less pronounced clinical benefit. To manage drug expenses effectively, detailed information on end-of-life drug administration and costs are crucial. In this retrospective study, we analysed treatment sequences and drug costs from 96 MM patients in the Netherlands who died between January 2017 and July 2019. Patients received up to 16 lines of therapy (median overall survival: 56.5 months), with average lifetime costs of €209 871 (€3111/month; range: €3942-€776 185) for anti-MM drugs. About 85% of patients received anti-MM treatment in the last 3 months before death, incurring costs of €20 761 (range: €70-€50 122; 10% of total). Half of the patients received anti-MM treatment in the last 14 days, mainly fully oral regimens (66%). End-of-life treatment costs are substantial despite limited survival benefits. The use of expensive treatment options is expected to increase costs further. These data serve as a reference point for future cost studies, and further research is needed to identify factors predicting the efficacy and clinical benefit of continuing end-of-life therapy.
PURPOSE: To produce protein by forming a microcapsule contg. the macromolecular core material or the like enclosed by a highly permeable hydrogel membrane which is a biocompatible material having a specific mol.wt. cut-off. CONSTITUTION: The biocompatible microcapsule contg. the macromolecular core material including the survival tissue enclosed by the first biocompatible, highly permeable hydrogel membrane consisting of the ionically interacting biocompatible material having the mol.wt. cut-off of 200 to 400×10<3> is prepd. In such a case, the first membrane interacts with the biocompatible material and forms the second relatively low permeable hydrogel membrane having the mol.wt. cut-off of 40 to 80×10<3> . The first membrane allows the diffusion of a water-soluble crosslinkable gelatinizing agent by the passage of the part having the mol.wt. smaller than 200 to 400×10<3> through the membrane.
<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems for injecting medical agents to the body of a patient to make the leak of the injected agent from the injection site to the minimum.  <P>SOLUTION: The new methods of injecting medical agents including cells into organs, tissues, or tumors using a side release needle and, optionally, a carrier that aids retention of the cells at the injection site, by using a tissue sealant or a film to seal the injection site are provided. The use of side release needles and, optionally, a carrier, sealant or film prevents the leakage of the injected agent flowing back out of the injection site.

The cells may be injected into any organ including the heart, brain, pancreas, liver, etc.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis and frailty are two common features in the elderly population. Despite many review articles mentioning the association between osteoporosis and frailty, there is a lack of original research directly investigating their relationship. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the correlation between osteoporosis and frailty.
METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), using logistic regression analysis to assess the association of osteoporosis with the frailty index. In addition, we further explored the causal relationship between them using Mendelian randomization (MR) study.
RESULTS: In the cross-sectional study, 19,091 non-frailty participants and 5878 frailty participants were included in this study. We observed a significant positive association between osteoporosis and frailty after adjusting for demographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), smoking, and alcohol use (OR = 1.454, 95% CI [1.142,1.851], P = 0.003). Moreover, the MR study showed a bidirectional causal relationship between osteoporosis and frailty. When osteoporosis was used as an exposure factor, the frailty pooled OR value calculated utilizing the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was 2.81 (95% CI [1.69, 4.68], P = 6.82 × 10- 5). When frailty was used as an exposure factor, the OR value calculated using the IVW method was 1.01 (95% CI [1.00,1.01], P = 3.65 × 10- 7).
CONCLUSIONS: Osteoporosis was positively correlated with frailty, and the results remained robust after adjusting for covariates. Further, MR studies have shown a bidirectional causal relationship between osteoporosis and frailty.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Stricturing [B2] and penetrating [B3] ileal Crohn's disease have been reported to present similar levels of histopathological transmural fibrosis. This study aimed to compare the fibrosis-related transcriptomic profiles of penetrating and stricturing ileal Crohn's disease.
METHODS: Using Nanostring technology and comparative bioinformatics, we analysed the expression of 787 fibrosis-related genes in 36 ileal surgical specimens, 12 B2 and 24 B3, the latter including 12 cases with associated stricture[s] [B3s] and 12 without [B3o]. Quality control of extracted RNA was performed according to Nanostring parameters and principal component analysis for the distribution analysis. For the selection of the differentially expressed genes, a p-adjusted <0.05 and fold change ≤-1.5 or ≥1.5 were adopted. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry analyses were used to validate selected differentially expressed genes.
RESULTS: We included 34 patients with B2 and B3 phenotypes, balanced for age at diagnosis, age at surgery, gender, Crohn's disease localisation, perianal disease, and therapy. Inflammation and fibrosis histopathological scoring were similar in all cases. B2 and B3 groups showed a very good clustering regarding 30 significantly differentially expressed genes, all being remarkably upregulated in B3. More than half of these genes were involved in Crohn's disease fibrogenesis, and eight differentially expressed genes were so in other organs. The most significantly active biological processes and pathways in penetrating disease were response to TGFβ and matrix organisation and degradation, as validated by immunohistochemistry.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the histopathological similarities in fibrosis between stricturing and penetrating ileal Crohn's disease, their fibrosis-related transcriptomic profiles are distinct. Penetrating disease exhibits a distinctive transcriptomic landscape related to enhanced matrix remodelling.
Analysis carried out using the gold standard with BRCA1/2 results provided in an average of 2 months + ultra-rapid BRCA1/2 test (nanopore test) with results communicated to the patient in 1-2 weeks. This communication will be accompanied by the necessary explanations to enable the patient to understand that this is a preliminary result and that only the gold standard will constitute a definitive result.
A method of treating tumors that express a receptor for IL-13 is disclosed.  The method involves directly introducing into the tumor a cytotoxin that targets the IL-13 receptor. The cytotoxic agent can be introduced by convection-enhanced delivery through a suitable catheter or by other means.  Where a convection-enhanced catheter is employed, the method involves positioning the tip of a catheter at least in close proximity to the tumor.  After the catheter is positioned, it is connected to a pump which delivers the active agent through the catheter tip to the tumor. A pressure gradient from the tip of the catheter is maintained during infusion.

This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled (randomized, parallel group, concealed allocation), double-blinded trial. All patients undergoing video assisted thoracic surgery during morning will be randomized 1:1 to the treatment intervention with lithium carbonate 250mg (Baoqing, Hunan, China) or calcium carbonate 500mg (Reneed, Beijing, China) 6 hours after surgery. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the lithium carbonate 250mg on the first postoperative night sleep quality. The patients received standardized general anesthesia supplemented by paravertebral nerve block. The ultrasound-guided approach for paravertebral nerve block was used with the patient in the lateral decubitus position, and the paravertebral nerve block was administered at the T4-T6 level according to the incision protocol at our center. General anesthesia for maintenance of propofol anesthesia, total intravenous anesthesia was administered by using propofol (Fresenius Kabi, Austria GmbH) at a plasma target concentration (Marsh pharmacokinetic model software) of 2.5-4 μg/ml. Remifentanil (0.2-0.5 μg/kg/min, Renfu, Yichang, China) was given to all patients during the operation. All patients accepted patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with 1 μg ml-1 sufentanil (Renfu, Yichang, China). Duration of sleep was defined as the duration of all bispectral index data below 80 in the 12 hours of monitoring (from 20:00pm to 06:00am).
The investigators will enroll subjects who receive screening or surveillance colonoscopy with small colorectal polyp, 4 to10 mm in size, from multiple centers in Taiwan. Subjects who are less than 40 years old and has contraindication will be excluded from this study. All the candidates for enrollment will sign the inform consent at the outpatient clinic. Once the candidate has the target lesion, polyp sized 4 to 10 mm, at colonoscopy will be randomized into either cold snaring or hot snaring polypectomy group. In the group with cold snaring, polypectomy will be done without electrocautery. In the hot snaring group, the polypectomy will be performed with electrocautery. The bowel preparation and colonoscopy insertion are the same in both groups as conventional colonoscopy method. The colonoscopy will be performed by experienced endoscopies who performed more than 100 polypectomies per year.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy resulting from compression of the median nerve at the wrist level. Various methods are applied in the conservative treatment of CTS. These include modification of daily life, splinting, physical therapy modalities and exercise methods. ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy), which has been used in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases in recent years, has come to the agenda as a new treatment method in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Ozone therapy has trophic effects, analgesic effects, antioxidant, immunomodulator, anti-inflammatory and antitumoral effects. Although the effectiveness of ESWT, splinting and exercise applications in CTS patients is known in the literature, studies on the effectiveness of ozone therapy are limited. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ozone therapy and ESWT applied in addition to splinting and exercise applications in patients diagnosed with CTS. The study will consist of 2 groups. In addition to exercise and splinting, 3 sessions of ozone therapy will be applied once a week to study group.Patients in the control group will receive ESWT once a week for 3 consecutive weeks in addition to exercise and splinting. Ultrasonographic examinations of the median nerve cross-sectional area will be performed using a LOGIQ P5 (Healthcare Ultrasound, Korea) and a high frequency 7-12 MHz linear probe. A hand dynamometer will be used to assess the grip strength of the hand.
BACKGROUND: The causative agents of diarrhea, rotavirus B (RVB) and rotavirus C (RVC) are common in adults and patients of all age groups, respectively. Due to the Rotavirus A (RVA) vaccination program, a significant decrease in the number of gastroenteritis cases has been observed globally. The replacement of RVA infections with RVB, RVC, or other related serogroups is suspected due to the possibility of reducing natural selective constraints due to RVA infections. The data available on RVB and RVC incidence are scant due to the lack of cheap and rapid commercial diagnostic assays and the focus on RVA infections. The present study aimed to develop real-time RT‒PCR assays using the data from all genomic RNA segments of human RVB and RVC strains available in the Gene Bank.
RESULTS: Among the 11 gene segments, NSP3 and NSP5 of RVB and the VP6 gene of RVC were found to be suitable for real-time RT‒PCR (qRT‒PCR) assays. Fecal specimens collected from diarrheal patients were tested simultaneously for the presence of RVB (n = 192) and RVC (n = 188) using the respective conventional RT‒PCR and newly developed qRT‒PCR assays. All RVB- and RVC-positive specimens were reactive in their respective qRT‒PCR assays and had Ct values ranging between 23.69 and 41.97 and 11.49 and 36.05, respectively. All known positive and negative specimens for other viral agents were nonreactive, and comparative analysis showed 100% concordance with conventional RT‒PCR assays.
CONCLUSIONS: The suitability of the NSP5 gene of RVB and the VP6 gene of RVC was verified via qRT‒PCR assays, which showed 100% sensitivity and specificity. The rapid qRT‒PCR assays developed will be useful diagnostic tools, especially during diarrheal outbreaks for testing non-RVA rotaviral agents and reducing the unnecessary use of antibiotics.
PURPOSE:To prepare a cosmetic giving moderate hot feeling and skin stimulation effect with time lag, and giving excellent refreshing feeling to the skin, by adding a skin-stimulating agent such as camphor, menthol, etc. to a substance generating heat when contacted with water, e.g. polyethylene glycol. CONSTITUTION:A cosmetic such as hair shampoo, hair rinse, hair treatment, hand cleaner, etc. containing (A) a substance which generate heat when contacted with water and raises the temperature (e.g. preferably polyethylene glycol, hexylene glycol, etc.) and (B) a skin-stimulating agent (e.g. camphor, menthol, cantharides tincture, etc.). The ratio of the (A) and (B) components is 60- 95wt%:0.03-2.0wt%. The amount of water is arbitrary. The hot feeling and the stimulation of the skin are remarkably increased by the synergistic effect of the heat-generating agent and the skin-stimulating agent. Especially, when menthol or camphor is used as the stimulating agent, it gives cool feeling after heat generation, and remarkably promotes the refreshing effect.
Standardized six-week duration multi-station full-body supervised exercise program. The frequency was 2-3 sessions per week. The duration of each session was 60 minutes.
Aim of the study: Patients with a frontal brain lesion often suffer from deficits in brain functions like attention, concentration, planning, impulse control and emotional stability. In this study the investigators would like to test, whether neurofeedback as a non-medication option can help to improve these cognitive functions. Neurofeedback is a method for optimization and stabilization of the brain activity. The brain continuously gets computer-based information about its state. This information is used by the brain for self-regulation. Because neurofeedback is a process based on learning, the positive effects can be integrated into the daily life and seem to persist also after the training stopped. From the literature, several studies have shown promising results of neurofeedback therapy in patients with brain injuries, but no study so far fulfills the scientific criteria which proves a benefit. Methods: The selection of potential study participants is made by the senior or chief physician. Totally, we include 20 patients with a newly acquired frontal brain lesion. 10 patients receive normal neurofeedback training and 10 patients receive a placebo-neurofeedback in a randomized, double blinded manner. In total, 20 neurofeedback sessions are conducted. At the beginning, after 10 sessions and at the end of the intervention time, a neuropsychological assessment is performed to test the main cognitive functions of the frontal brain. Data analysis: The performance in the neuropsychological testing is the primary outcome. We expect that all participants will gain performance during the course of the study due to natural brain recovery, so that we will focus on the difference of the improvements between the two groups (neurofeedback and placebo-group).
Fluocinolone Acetonide Ointment is generally applied to the affected area as a thin film from two to four times daily depending on the severity of the condition. In hairy sites, the hair should be parted to allow direct contact with the lesion.

Occlusive dressing may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. Some plastic films may be flammable and due care should be exercised in their use. Similarly, caution should be employed when such films are used on children or left in their proximity, to avoid the possibility of accidental suffocation.

If an infection develops, the use of the occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.
The intervention group will perform a 3 months pulmonary daoyin of China therapy program which consists of training and patient education. They will be evaluated with some tests for the study.
Cortical stimulation is performed with a bipolar electrical stimulator. The Boston naming test and repetition of words is done in cooperation with a neuropsychologist/linguist, who will inform the neurosurgeon of any kind of speech arrest or dysarthria. When localizing the motor and sensory cortex, the patient is asked to report any unintended movement or sensation in extremities or face. Functional cortical areas are marked with a number. When the tumour margins or white matter is encountered or when on regular neuronavigation the eloquent white matter tracts are thought to be in close proximity, subcortical stimulation (biphasic currents of 8-16 mA, pulse frequency 60 Hz, single pulse phase duration of 100 microsec., 2-second train) is performed to localize functional tracts.
Modi is a mobile application and consists of a training program for adolescents with anxiety problems. Anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders. The anxiety symptoms usually have an age of onset in adolescence. For many, these anxiety symptoms persist into adulthood, and lead to reduced quality of life and functional impairment. The goal is to prevent anxiety disorders, comorbid disorders and loss of function as a result of the anxiety symptoms.

This study wants to investigate the effectiveness of a digital intervention in a randomized controlled trial. The study will recruit N = 128 young people aged 13-16 who will be randomized to either a therapist-guided, rule-based chatbot intervention or treatment as usual in the Child and Family Help Center in Bergen Municipality. The study will examine the clinical effects of the new intervention compared to treatment as usual
Patients naïve to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy will receive a combination of weekly HS-110 administered as 5 intradermal 0.1 mL injections at a dose of 1 × 107 viable cells/ 0.5 mL for 18 weeks and bi-weekly nivolumab infusions. After 18 weeks of treatment, patients will continue on monotherapy standard of care nivolumab until confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first. After the completion of 18 weeks of combination therapy, patients may receive either nivolumab dosing schedule listed in the current approved package insert (every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks) per Investigator discretion.
