The video intervention will be administered to participants that are randomly assigned to the EDUC group. In addition, current standard of care discharge instructions will also be provided to the participant. This EDUC intervention will consist of a brief, three to five-minute informative video message from the clinical neuropsychologist at the Inova Sports Medicine Concussion Program. In addition to the viewing of the video after ED/Urgent Care discharge, all participants will be instructed to view the video at least once every 24 - 48 hours prior to their visit to the concussion clinic.
The serotonin transporter (5-hydroxytryptamine transporter [5-HTT], Serotonin Transporter (SERT), SLC6A4) modulates the activity of serotonin via sodium-dependent reuptake. Given the established importance of serotonin in the control of pain, 5-HTT has received much interest in studies of pain states and as a pharmacological target for serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs). Animal models expressing varying levels of 5-HTT activity show marked differences in pain behaviors and analgesic responses, as well as many serotonin-related physiological effects. In humans, functional nucleotide variations in the SLC6A4 gene, which encodes the serotonin transporter 5-HTT, are associated with certain pathologic pain conditions and differences in responses to pharmacological therapy. These findings collectively reflect the importance of 5-HTT in the intricate physiology and management of pain, as well as the scientific and clinical challenges that need to be considered for the optimization of 5-HTT-related analgesic therapies. PERSPECTIVE: The serotonin transporter 5-HTT/SCL6A4 is sensitive to pharmacological SRIs. Experimental studies on the physiological functions of serotonin, as well as genetic mouse models and clinical phenotype/genotype correlations of nucleotide variation in the human 5-HTT/SCL6A4 gene, provide new insights for the use of SRIs in chronic pain management.

Factor XI (FXI) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder that presents complex challenges in patient assessment and bleeding risk management. Despite generally causing mild to moderate bleeding symptoms, clinical manifestations can vary, and bleeding tendency does not always correlate with FXI plasma levels or genotype. Our manuscript delves into the age-related nuances of FXI deficiency across an individual's lifespan. We emphasize issues faced by specific groups, including neonates and females of reproductive age experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding and postpartum hemorrhage. Older patients present unique challenges and concerns related to the management of bleeding as well as thrombotic complications. The current assortment of diagnostic laboratory assays shows limited success in predicting bleeding risk in the perisurgical setting of patients with FXI deficiency. This review explores the intricate interplay between individual bleeding profiles, surgical sites, and FXI activity levels. We also evaluate the accuracy of existing laboratory assays in predicting bleeding and discuss the potential role of investigational global assays in perioperative assessment. Furthermore, we outline our suggested diagnostic approach to refine treatment strategies and decision making. Available treatment options are presented, including antifibrinolytics, replacement products, and recombinant activated FVII. Finally, we discuss promising nonreplacement therapies for the treatment of rare bleeding disorders that can potentially address the challenges faced when managing FXI deficiency-related bleeding complications.
According to conventional views, colon cancer originates from stem cells. However, inflammation, a key risk factor for colon cancer, has been shown to suppress intestinal stemness. Here, we used Paneth cells as a model to assess the capacity of differentiated lineages to trigger tumorigenesis in the context of inflammation in mice. Upon inflammation, Paneth cell-specific Apc mutations led to intestinal tumors reminiscent not only of those arising in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but also of a larger fraction of human sporadic colon cancers. The latter is possibly because of the inflammatory consequences of western-style dietary habits, a major colon cancer risk factor. Machine learning methods designed to predict the cell-of-origin of cancer from patient-derived tumor samples confirmed that, in a substantial fraction of sporadic cases, the origins of colon cancer reside in secretory lineages and not in stem cells.

Breast pain is extremely common, occurring in 70% to 80% of women. Most cases of breast pain are from physiologic or benign causes, and patients should be reassured and offered treatment strategies to alleviate symptoms, often without diagnostic imaging. A complete clinical history and physical examination is key for distinguishing intrinsic breast pain from extramammary pain. Breast pain without other suspicious symptoms and with a negative history and physical examination result is rarely associated with malignancy, although it is a common reason for women to undergo diagnostic imaging. When breast imaging is indicated, guidelines according to the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria should be followed as to whether mammography, US, or both are recommended. This review article summarizes the initial clinical evaluation of breast pain and evidence-based guidelines for imaging. Additionally, the article reviews cyclical and noncyclical breast pain and provides an image-rich discussion of the imaging presentation and management of benign and malignant breast pain etiologies.
Teratogenic Effects. Pregnancy Category C – Animal reproductive studies have not been conducted with oxycodone and acetaminophen. It is also not known whether oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets should not be given to a pregnant woman unless in the judgment of the physician, the potential benefits outweigh the possible hazards.

Nonteratogenic Effects – Opioids can cross the placental barrier and have the potential to cause neonatal respiratory depression. Opioid use during pregnancy may result in a physically drug-dependent fetus. After birth, the neonate may suffer severe withdrawal symptoms.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequently occurring serious bacterial infection in young children and accounts for 5 to 14% of emergency department visits. UTIs can be divided into asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitis, and acute pyelonephritis (APN ). The APN is associated with an increased risk of renal damage, acquired through renal scarring. Which is a consequence of the inflammatory and immune response that aim to eradicate the bacteria involved in the UTI.

Parenchymal infection can be solved, but there are a number of poorly understood factors that may perpetuate inflammation, and this would promote the formation of scarring. One of the most relevant factors involved in formation of renal scarring is the production of inflammatory mediators (complement proteins, bactericidal peptides, cytokines , chemokines, ). hence, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs may prevent the release of these mediators and the formation of permanent renal scarring. Renal scarring in childhood has been associated with serious complications as hypertension, preeclampsia, and ESRD in young age.

Current treatment of children with UTI has focused on the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and on the early treatment of UTI with antibiotics. Although the presence of VUR increases the likelihood of bacteria gaining access to the kidney, correction of VUR is not sufficient to prevent scarring. Renal scarring frequently occurs in children who do not have VUR, and early diagnosis and treatment of children with VUR is not associated with a reduction in the incidence of end-stage renal disease. Similarly, early antibiotic therapy is necessary, but it is not sufficient to prevent renal scarring in most children with UTI. Because signs of UTI in children are relatively non-specific, the diagnosis is often delayed. data from many studies have shown that once the infection has localized to the renal parenchyma, treatment with antibiotics alone does not prevent scarring. hence ,It is clear that the current management is not always effective in preventing renal scarring. The proposed study aims to determine whether dexamethasone therapy - which focuses on modulation of the host inflammatory response - is effective in reducing renal scarring.
PSMA-PET/CT imaging is performed during treatment planning. Treating physicians are informed of test results and advised to include up to 5 PSMA-PET avid sites distant to the prostate gland, if present, in the radiotherapy treatment plan.
AIM: Inhibition of microRNA (miR)-132 effectively prevents and reverses adverse cardiac remodelling, making it an attractive heart failure (HF) target. CDR132L, a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide selectively blocking pathologically elevated miR-132, demonstrated beneficial effects on left ventricular (LV) structure and function in relevant preclinical models, and was safe and well tolerated in a Phase 1b study in stable chronic HF patients. Patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and subsequent LV dysfunction and remodelling have limited therapeutic options, and may profit from early CDR132L treatment.
METHODS: The HF-REVERT (Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, parallel, 3-arm, placebo-controlled Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of CDR132L in Patients with Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Myocardial Infarction) evaluates the efficacy and safety of CDR132L in HF patients post-acute MI (n = 280), comparing the effect of 5 and 10 mg/kg CDR132L, administered as three single intravenous doses 28 days apart, in addition to standard of care. Key inclusion criteria are the diagnosis of acute MI, the development of systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction ≤45%) and elevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. The study consists of a 6-month double-blinded treatment period with the primary endpoint LV end-systolic volume index and relevant secondary endpoints, followed by a 6-month open-label observation period.
CONCLUSION: The HF-REVERT trial may underpin the concept of miR-132 inhibition to prevent or reverse cardiac remodelling in post-MI HF. The results will inform the design of subsequent outcome trials to test CDR132L in HF.
The disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating blood diseases/disorders, such as sickle cell disease, hemochromatosis, hemophilia, and beta-thalassemia. For example the disclosure provides therapeutic guide RNAs that target the promotor of HBG1/2 to generate point mutations that increase expression of fetal hemoglobin. As another example, the disclosure provides therapeutic guide RNAs that target mutations in HBB, Factor VIII, and HFE to treat sickle cell disease, beta-thalassemia, hemophilia and hemochromatosis. The disclosure also provides fusion proteins comprising a Cas9 (e.g., a Cas9 nickase) domain and adenosine deaminases that deaminate adenosine in DNA. In some embodiments, the fusion proteins are in complex with nucleic acids, such as guide RNAs (gRNAs), which target the fusion proteins to a DNA sequence (e.g., an HBG1 or HBG2 protmoter sequence, or an HFE, GBB, or F8 gene sequence). Such complexes may be useful for increasing expression of fetal hemoglobin or correcting a poing mutation (e.g., C282Y) in HFE.
Diabetes affects at least 9% of the population, or approximately 29 million people in the United States. Lower extremity ulcers are a serious complication for people with diabetes. Diabetic foot-related problems are the most frequent cause of hospitalization within this group and it is estimated that the total cost for treatment ranges from $10,000 to nearly $60,000 depending on ulcer severity and clinical outcomes. While many diabetic foot ulcers are superficial and can heal with conservative treatment, many are more severe and recalcitrant to standard of care (SOC). About a quarter of individuals with diabetes will develop a chronic non-healing ulcer over their lifetime and nearly 60 of every 10,000 individuals with diabetes will undergo a lower extremity amputation. Holzer and associates conducted a retrospective analysis of the costs for lower extremity ulcers in patients with diabetes and concluded that, given the high costs associated with treating these ulcers, the development of better treatment strategies is warranted. One such development in the treatment of chronic wounds is the use of amniotic membrane grafts. These materials have been used successfully for many years in the treatment of orthopedic, plastic/reconstructive, and urological applications. Initial studies have demonstrated the great success of amnionic membrane graft in the healing of chronic diabetic foot ulcers and it is believed that these grafts may be superior to older, more common skin substitutes.
Hypoxemia occurs during exposure to high altitude (continuous hypoxemia) or in the context of breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; intermittent hypoxemia). Growing evidence demonstrates that hypoxemia induces an anorexigenic effect on appetite; however, few studies have assessed hypoxemia-related reductions in appetite during acute passive exposures and during intermittent hypoxemia. This study thus pooled together four same-single-site randomized crossover trials using simulated models of high altitude (fraction of inspired oxygen = 0.1200, ∼5000 m) and moderate OSA (∼15 hypoxemic cycles per hour, ∼85 oxyhemoglobin saturation). Changes in appetite were evaluated during 6 h of passive normoxia and intermittent or continuous hypoxemia in postprandial or fasting states among healthy young adults (n = 40) and middle-aged individuals living with OSA (n = 7). Our results demonstrate that (1) acute passive intermittent hypoxemia leads to statistically significant, but likely not clinically significant reductions in appetite in the postprandial state, (2) the anorexigenic effect of acute passive hypoxemia on appetite is not consistent across hypoxemic methods and nutritional states, and (3) variations in individual factors may influence appetite responses during normoxia and hypoxemia. These findings indicate that the effect of acute passive hypoxemia on appetite is heterogeneous, particularly across different hypoxemic methods and nutritional states.
Nearly 70% of preterm deliveries occur spontaneously, and the clinical pathways involved include preterm labor and preterm premature rupture of membranes. Prediction of preterm delivery is considered crucial due to the significant effects of preterm birth on health and the economy at both the personal and community levels. Although similar inflammatory processes occur in both term and preterm delivery, the premature activation of these processes or exaggerated inflammatory response triggered by infection or sterile factors leads to preterm delivery. Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a phosphoglycerylether lipid mediator of inflammation that is implicated in infections, cancers, and various chronic diseases and disorders including cardiovascular, renal, cerebrovascular, and central nervous system diseases. In gestational tissues, PAF mediates the inflammatory pathways that stimulate the effector mechanisms of labor, including myometrial contraction, cervical dilation, and fetal membrane rupture. Women with preterm labor and preterm premature rupture of membranes have increased levels of PAF in their amniotic fluid. In mice, the intrauterine or intraperitoneal administration of carbamyl PAF activates inflammation in gestational tissues, thereby eliciting preterm delivery. This review summarizes recent research on PAF as an important inflammatory mediator in preterm delivery and in other inflammatory disorders, highlighting its potential value for prediction, intervention, and prevention of these diseases.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cells that dissociate from the tumor tissue and enter the lymphatic system or bloodstream with close association with tumor metastasis and recurrence. CTCs contain complete pathological information, which can be extracted by isolation, enrichment, and analysis of the CTCs to guide cancer diagnosis and treatment, thereby significantly improving the monitoring efficiency and prognosis of cancer. Compared with tissue biopsy, liquid biopsy with CTCs as a biomarker enables specific and dynamic detection of tumor growth with a less painful experience. For detection of CTCs, the cells must be captured from body fluids, followed then by their release and enrichment. This review summaries the latest research progress in responsive isolation of CTCs (e.g. with light, dielectrophoresis, acoustophoresis and magnetophoresis), chemical isolation (specific molecules and topological structure) and responsive release (e.g., light, electric, thermal, pH, enzyme responsiveness, and substrates break). Responsive isolation utilizes the differences in physical properties between CTCs and blood cells, while chemical isolation utilizes specific recognition mechanisms to capture the CTCs. These techniques result in low cell damage with a high specificity to facilitate further analysis. Currently, CTC detection has been applied for early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of multiple cancers including lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer.
Although there are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis, the three most common are gout, osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Gout occurs in response to the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints, bones and soft tissues, and is usually treated by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), oral or intravenous colchicines, and oral, intravenous or intraarticular glucocorticoids. All these drugs can abort acute attacks, but they also may have severe side effects. OA results from articular cartilage failure induced by a combination of genetic, metabolic, biochemical and biomechanical factors. OA is normally treated with analgesics such as acetaminophen and opioids, NSAIDs, and intraarticular therapies such as glucocorticoids and hyaluronans.

In RA, 75% of the sufferers are women, suggesting the importance of hormones in the etiology of the disease. Smoking and stress are also thought to contribute to this disease, which is characterized by joint stiffness and swelling, often in a symmetrical pattern on both sides of the body. The goals of management of patients with RA are to control pain and swelling, delay disease progression, minimize disability, and improve quality of life. For pain control and swelling, treatment includes analgesics such as acetaminophen and opioids, NSAIDs, and intra-articular therapies such as glucocorticoids. In addition, disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are used to modify the clinical and radiological course of RA. Examples include methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine, leflunomide, hydroxychloroquine and newer therapies such as anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a therapy (etanercept, infliximab and adalimumab), anti-CD20 therapy (rituximab) and abatacept However, all of these agents are associated with numerous side effects Promising evidence has been found for the effective use of some herbal preparations in the treatment of arthritis. Furthermore, evidence suggesting that some herbal preparations reduce consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It has been evident that some herbal preparations (Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F) monotherapy is not inferior then methotrexate and in combination with methotrexate showed better result than alone. In addition, adverse effect associated with trials of herbal preparation for arthritis is not only fewer but also minor. Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine treatments are remarkably successful in addressing not only chronic but acute health issues as well. It is strongly perceived that different complementary and alternative medicine treatments exerts their healing potential by influencing immune system.
