BACKGROUND: Vegetarian diets have been shown to lower the risks of hyperuricemia and gout. Little is known about the risk factors of hyperuricemia in vegetarians.
METHODS: This community-based retrospective case-control study was conducted to establish prediction models for hyperuricemia. From September 5, 2005, to December 31, 2016, 7331 adult vegetarians were recruited at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid concentration greater than 7 mg/dL.
RESULTS: There were 593 (8.1%) vegetarians with hyperuricemia and 6738 (91.9%) without hyperuricemia. We stepwise built up three models for predicting hyperuricemia in vegetarians. The full model (model 3) has the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC, 85.52%). Additionally, the AUROC of model 3 is 77.97% and 84.85% in vegetarians with or without prior gout history, respectively. Moreover, male gender, hyperlipidemia, body mass index, and serum albumin are independent risk factors for hyperuricemia in vegetarians. In contrast, estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria are independently associated with lower risks of hyperuricemia in vegetarians.
CONCLUSION: Our study revealed that risk factors for hyperuricemia, which includes clinical characteristics, account for more than 85% of discriminatory performance in Taiwanese vegetarians. This model may be helpful for monitoring and preventing hyperuricemia in the population.
PURPOSE:To obtain a dried edible plant for preservation in a shape of holding natural form and use the plant for food or float the plant on various drinks or nondrinkable liquid for admiration, by dipping leaves and/or stems of an edible plant in hot water containing a color former and polysaccharide or protein and heat-treating or drying the leaves and/or stems. CONSTITUTION:For example, 100g color former, e.g. ferrous sulfate, etc., and 100 protein, e.g. gelatin, etc., are dissolved in 10l water and heated at about 90 deg.C. 200g edible leaves and/or steams which are cut to a suitable size and washed is dipped in the resultant hot water for about 2min and allowed to stand at room temperature. The leaves or steams or both are then dried at about 50 deg.C by blowing air. Thereby the aimed edible dried vegetable having leaves and/or stems kept in a fresh state is obtained. The resultant vegetable can be put in toilet water and utilized as an interior article. The vegetable has elegant external appearance without shrinkage or curl as compared with that produced by other conventional methods.
A dental device has a U-shaped carrier with at least one channel for embracing an arch of teeth. The carrier has recessed insets in the channel. Discrete inserts carrying a beneficial agent can fit into the insets and release the agent gradually. When the device is used in a primarily therapeutic application, the inserts may be installed into all or less than all of the insets to form various insert patterns. Thus, different oral regions can be affected by different insert patterns. When the device is used as an athletic mouthguard, temporary blanks may be initially fitted in the insets, while a portion of the mouthguard is softened before an arch of teeth is pressed into the channel to make a custom impression. The inserts that are later installed in the insets possess different physical properties than the carrier and may be positioned and shaped to mechanically buffer teeth of the arch from mechanical shocks as well as release beneficial agents. The inserts may be replaced or refreshed to maintain the beneficial agent, which may be xylitol, remineralizing agents, moisturizing agents, desensitizing agents, flavoring agents, breath fresheners, chemical and biological indicators, nutraceuticals, antibiotics, probiotics, other medications and chemotherapeutics, or other agents.

Obesity in pregnancy is an important risk factor for adverse perinatal outcomes. Obesity leads to oxidative stress and vascular damage including microcirculation inflammation. Physical activity prevents cellular damage and provide a protective effect to the health of the mother and fetus. Although physical activity has been recommended for obese pregnant women, studies assessing the effects on the microcirculation of these women are scarce. This study aims to determine the effect of a physical exercise program on microcirculation and maternal and perinatal outcomes in obese women. A randomized clinical trial will be performed at IMIP with obese pregnant women assisted at the IMIP prenatal service. The intervention group will be submitted to an exercise program consisting of daily post prandial, 10' after breakfast, lunch and dinner. The control group will follow the routine prenatal IMIP. All pregnant women will be evaluated by a questionnaire to assess physical activity. Microcirculation function will be evaluated by a Laser-doppler flowmetry at baseline and eight weeks after intervention. All pregnant women will be followed until the delivery and immediate postpartum period to check their perinatal outcomes. All pregnant women will be advised to use a pedometer to record their daily steps. The study meets the recommendations of the National Health Council. This project was submitted and approved from the Ethics Committee for Research involving human subjets of IMIP. All participants will be duly informed about the aims of the study and will be included after signing the Informed Consent Form.
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic and related control measures affected the mental health of all populations. Particular subgroups are underrepresented in mainstream surveys because they are hard to reach, and study measurements are not adapted to their skills. These subgroups include people with lower cognitive and literacy skills, such as people with mild intellectual disability (MID), who were considered vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic given their low socioeconomic status, small social networks, increased risks of health problems, and difficulties understanding health-related information.
OBJECTIVE: This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health among people with MID or low literacy skills compared with those predominantly represented in national surveys.
METHODS: A repeated cross-sectional study of people with MID or low literacy skills and a general population sample was conducted in the Netherlands. An easy-read web-based survey was co-designed with, and tested among, people with MID or low literacy skills and conducted in 3 rounds within 1 year of the COVID-19 pandemic (T1: November to December 2020, T2: March to April 2021, and T3: September to October 2021). The survey contained questions about demographics and 6 aspects of mental health: feeling happy, feeling energized, feeling stressed, worry, feeling lonely, and sleeping problems.
RESULTS: Our adapted survey and recruitment procedure enabled 1059 persons with MID or low literacy skills to participate (T1: n=412, 38.9%; T2: n=351, 33.1%; and T3: n=296, 28%). They were significantly younger, had a lower level of education, and more often than not were born outside the Netherlands compared to the general population sample (P<.001). Approximately half of them (604/1059, 57.03%) received professional care. They displayed poorer mental health scores than the general population sample. The percentages of people with MID or low literacy skills who reported more negative feelings in T1 ranged from 20.6% (85/412) reporting feeling lonely often or almost always to 57.8% (238/412) reporting feeling happy almost never or sometimes. The general population sample's percentages were 5.4% (160/2930) and 32.2% (941/2918), respectively. Although scores improved over time in both populations, the disproportional effects remained.
CONCLUSIONS: General COVID-19-related restrictions for the entire Dutch population affected people with MID or low literacy skills more negatively than the general population. Our study underscores the relevance of including these subpopulations in public health research because they are often overlooked in regular health data. An accessible web-based survey particularly targeted at this population enabled us to do so, and we reached a group of respondents significantly different from regular survey participants. This survey's results provided insights into the health of people with MID or low literacy skills and gained knowledge to be used by care organizations and policy makers to reduce health disparities during a pandemic and in general.

Most of the nicotine released from the NICOTROL Inhaler is deposited in the mouth. Only a fraction of the dose released, less than 5%, reaches the lower respiratory tract. An intensive inhalation regimen (80 deep inhalations over 20 minutes) releases on the average 4 mg of the nicotine content of each cartridge of which about 2 mg is systemically absorbed. Peak plasma concentrations are typically reached within 15 minutes of the end of inhalation.

Absorption of nicotine through the buccal mucosa is relatively slow and the high and rapid rise followed by the decline in nicotine arterial plasma concentrations seen with cigarette smoking are not achieved with the inhaler. After use of the single inhaler the arterial nicotine concentrations rise slowly to an average of 6 ng/mL in contrast to those of a cigarette, which increase rapidly and reach a mean Cmax of approximately 49 ng/mL within 5 minutes.

The temperature dependency of nicotine release from the NICOTROL Inhaler was studied between 68°F and 104°F in eighteen patients. Average achievable steady state plasma levels after 20 minutes of an intensive inhalation regimen each hour at ambient room temperature are on the order of 23 ng/mL. The corresponding nicotine plasma levels achievable at 86°F and 104°F are on the order of 30 and 34 ng/mL. Nicotine peak plasma concentration (Cmax) at steady-state, after 20 minutes of an intensive inhalation regimen per hour, for 10 hours.

Ad libitum use of the NICOTROL Inhaler typically produces nicotine plasma levels of 6–8 ng/mL, corresponding to about 1/3 of those achieved with cigarette smoking.

Medication was adminstered on a fixed-flexible dosing regimen, beginning at 10mg/day for 2 weeks, then 20 mg/day for 2 weeks, 40 mg/day for two weeks, 60 mg/day for 2 weeks, and 80 mg/day (the target dose) thereafter. This was accompanied by medication management supportive therapy; including non-specific encouragement, support and explanation similar to that provide in a physician's office.
The present invention relates to methods of synthesizing 18F-FMAU. In particular, 18F-FMAU is synthesized using one-pot reaction conditions in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts. The one-pot reaction conditions are incorporated into a fully automated cGMP-compliant radiosynthesis module, which results in a reduction in synthesis time and simplifies reaction conditions. The one-pot reaction conditions are also suitable for the production of 5-substitued thymidine or cytidine analogues. The products from the one-pot reaction (e.g. the [18F]-labeled thymidine or cytidine analogues) can be used as probes for imaging tumor proliferative activity. More specifically, these [18F]-labeled thymidine or cytidine analogues can be used as a PET tracer for certain medical conditions, including, but not limited to, cancer disease, autoimmunity inflammation, and bone marrow transplant.
The effectiveness of PAXIL in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) was demonstrated in two 12‑week multicenter placebo-controlled studies of adult outpatients (Studies 1 and 2). Patients had moderate to severe OCD (DSM‑IIIR) with mean baseline ratings on the Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) total score ranging from 23 to 26. In study 1, a dose-range finding study, patients received fixed daily doses of PAXIL 20 mg, 40 mg, or 60 mg. Study 1 demonstrated that daily doses of PAXIL 40 mg and 60 mg are effective in the treatment of OCD. Patients receiving doses of PAXIL 40 mg and 60 mg experienced a mean reduction of approximately 6 and 7 points, respectively, on the YBOCS total score which was statistically significantly greater than the approximate 4-point reduction at 20 mg and a 3-point reduction in the placebo‑treated patients. Study 2 was a flexible-dose study comparing PAXIL 20 mg to 60 mg daily with clomipramine 25 mg to 250 mg daily or placebo). In this study, patients receiving PAXIL experienced a mean reduction of approximately 7 points on the YBOCS total score, which was statistically significantly greater than the mean reduction of approximately 4 points in placebo‑treated patients.

The following table provides the outcome classification by treatment group on Global Improvement items of the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale for Study 1.

Table 10: Outcome Classification (%) on CGI-Global Improvement Item for Completers in Study 1 in Patients with OCD

Subgroup analyses did not indicate that there were any differences in treatment outcomes as a function of age or gender.

The long‑term efficacy of PAXIL for the treatment of OCD was established in a long‑term extension to Study 1. Patients who responded to PAXIL during the 3‑month double‑blind phase and a 6‑month extension on open‑label PAXIL 20 mg to 60 mg daily were randomized to either PAXIL or placebo in a 6‑month double‑blind relapse prevention phase. Patients randomized to PAXIL were statistically significantly less likely to relapse than placebo-treated patients.
The disclosed lubricating suppository is formulated to have properties advantageous for coital use, including extraordinary water washability. The ingredients and phase relationships of the suppository composition provide a high degree of compatibility with water and with naturally-occurring vaginal moisture. The suppository composition contains a glyceride lubricant and can be lubricious with or without the presence of moisture. The suppository, which is solid at room temperature but melts in a short time at body temperature, is made by dissolving, for example, 10-30 parts by weight of high-HLB (e.g. >14) nonionic surfactant in 50-70 parts by weight of a molten, water-soluble polyoxyethylene glycol component and by dispersing or emulsifying 10-20 parts by weight of the glyceride (e.g. a triglyceride of C6-C18 aliphatic carboxylic acids) included in the composition. In use, the suppository can be inserted prior to coitus and permitted to melt to a liquid, which is lubricious even in the absence of moisture, but still has the aforementioned extraordinary water washability.
INTRODUCTION: Transnasal aerosol drug delivery has become widely accepted for treating acutely ill infants, children, and adults. More recently aerosol administration to wider populations receiving high and low-flow nasal oxygen has become common practice.
AREAS COVERED: Skepticism of insufficient aerosol delivery to the lungs has been tempered by multiple in vitro explorations of variables to optimize delivery efficiency. Additionally, clinical studies demonstrated comparable clinical responses to orally inhaled aerosols. This paper provides essential clinical guidance on how to improve transnasal aerosol delivery based on device-, settings-, and drug-related optimization to serve as a resource for educational initiatives and quality enhancement endeavors at healthcare institutions.
EXPERT OPINION: Transnasal aerosol delivery is proliferating worldwide, but indiscriminate use of excessive-high flows, poor selection and placement of aerosol devices and circuits can greatly reduce aerosol delivery and efficacy, potentially compromising treatment to acute and critically ill patients. Attention to these details can improve inhaled dose by an order of magnitude, making the difference between effective treatment and the progression to more invasive ventilatory support, with greater inherent risk and cost. These revelations have prompted specific recommendations for optimal delivery, driving advancements in aerosol generators, formulations, and future device designs to administer aerosols and maximize treatment effectiveness.
The efficacy of SINGULAIR, 10 mg, when given as a single dose 2 hours before exercise for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) was investigated in three (U.S. and Multinational), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover studies that included a total of 160 adult and adolescent patients 15 years of age and older with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Exercise challenge testing was conducted at 2 hours, 8.5 or 12 hours, and 24 hours following administration of a single dose of study drug (SINGULAIR 10 mg or placebo). The primary endpoint was the mean maximum percent fall in FEV1 following the 2 hours post-dose exercise challenge in all three studies (Study A, Study B, and Study C). In Study A, a single dose of SINGULAIR 10 mg demonstrated a statistically significant protective benefit against EIB when taken 2 hours prior to exercise. Some patients were protected from exercise-induced bronchoconstriction at 8.5 and 24 hours after administration; however, some patients were not. The results for the mean maximum percent fall at each timepoint in Study A are shown in the TABLE 3 below and are representative of the results from the other two studies.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide both a high-quality chicken essence-containing functional food and a method for producing the functional food. SOLUTION: This method is to produce the functional food derived from a chicken essence and having the following properties or a material thereof. (1) without substantially containing proteins and polysaccharides derived from chicken muscular tissues, (2) having high quality and flavor directly usable as a drink and food and (3) containing anserine, carnosine, and taurine in an amount of 10-40% as the total amount based on the weight of solids as main functional ingredients. In the method for producing the functional food or the material thereof, water containing an antioxidant in a volume of 1-4 times based on the weight of the chicken is added to an eviscerated carcass of an edible chicken or a culled chicken for egg laying and the eviscerated carcass is heated under slightly pressurized conditions of <=110 deg.C.  A chicken essence is extracted and fats and insoluble materials are removed. The resultant essence is treated with an ultrafiltration membrane having 3,000-10,000 fractionating molecular weight under conditions of room temperature to 60 deg.C to recover a permeate which is subsequently concentrated to an optional concentration to prepare the high-quality chicken essence technical product. An additive is then optionally added to carry out a sterilizing treatment and/or a drying treatment. A product thereof is provided.
For decades, clinicians and researchers have observed bidirectional relationships between child development and the pain experience in childhood. Pain in childhood is an inherently developmental phenomenon, embedded in an iterative, time-dependent process that reflects individual biological, behavioral, social, psychological, and environmental characteristics that unfold across the early life span. Childhood pain can have wide ranging effects on brain development in ways that contribute-for better and worse-to social, emotional, and cognitive well-being in childhood and on into adulthood. Atypical trajectories of development in the context of disorders such as autism, cerebral palsy, ADHD, and mood/anxiety disorders also contribute to unique childhood pain experiences. In this paper, pain will be considered as a determinant of development, and conversely development will be considered as a key determinant of a child's pain experience. We will discuss how intersectional identities (eg, gender, race, socioeconomic status) and associated social, structural, systemic, and physical environments influence the relationship between development and pain. Finally, we will identify what might be needed to think "developmentally" in ways that extend from the "bench side" in the lab to the "curb side" in the community, integrating a developmental perspective into research and clinical practice to achieve health accessibility and equity in pain care for all children across the developmental spectrum.
