The present invention provides peptides corresponding to all or a portion of amino acid residues 12-26 of human p53 protein i.e. PPLSQETFSDLWKLL, which peptides are lethal to malignant or transformed cells when fused to a membrane-penetrating leader sequence. In order to reduce proteolysis of a subject peptide, one or more D-amino acids may be substituted for the corresponding L-amino acids in the p53 portion and/or the membrane-penetrating leader of a subject peptide. Further, a pseudopeptide bond or a retro-inverso pseudopeptide bond may be substituted for one or more peptide bonds in either or both of the p53 sequence or membrane-penetrating leader sequence in order to render a subject peptide less susceptible to proteolysis. In addition, both the membrane-­ penetrating leader sequence and the p53 portion of a subject peptide may comprise retro-inverso, and partially modified retro-inverso isomers. Such isomers are less susceptible to proteolysis and therefore have prolonged half-lives. The subject peptides are useful in treating neoplastic disease in an animal, preferably a human. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the subject peptides admixed with a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier. Methods of treating neoplastic disease in a patient by administering a subject peptide fused at its carboxy terminal end to a membrane-penetrating leader sequence are also provided as are methods of assessing the level of effectiveness of a subject peptide in killing malignant, transformed, or neoplastic cells in vitro.

BACKGROUND: Chagas disease (ChD) is endemic in many parts of the world and can be transmitted through organ transplantation or reactivated by immunosuppression. Organs from infected donors are occasionally used for transplantation, and the best way of managing the recipients remains a subject of debate.
METHODS: We present a single-center cohort study describing a 10-year experience of kidney transplantation in patients at risk of donor-derived ChD and or reactivation. Patients received prophylactic treatment with Benznidazole and were monitored for transmission or reactivation. Monitoring included assessing direct parasitemia, serology, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
RESULTS: Fifty-seven kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) were enrolled in the study. Forty-four patients (77.2%) were at risk of primary ChD infection, nine patients (15.8%) were at risk of disease reactivation, and four patients (7.0%) were at risk of both. All patients received Benznidazole prophylaxis, starting on the first day after transplantation. Parasitemia was assessed in 51 patients (89.5%), serology also in 51 patients (89.5%), and PCR in 40 patients (70.2%). None of the patients exhibited clinically or laboratory-detectable signs of disease. A single patient experienced a significant side effect, a cutaneous rash with intense pruritus. At 1-year post-transplantation, the patient and graft survival rates were 96.5% and 93%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: In this study, no donor-derived or reactivation of Trypanosoma cruzi infection occurred in KTRs receiving Benznidazole prophylaxis.

Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and OCTA (Optovue, Inc., CA, USA) were performed in the RE patients. All examinations were performed by experienced ophthalmic examiners. AngioVue software 2.0 of the RTVue XR Avanti device (Optovue, Inc., CA, USA) was used to perform OCTA imaging. The split-spectrum amplitude-decorrelation angiography (SSADA) algorithm was applied to the scans. Images with a scan quality of not less than 6 were included, while images with obvious artifacts detected by a senior ophthalmologist were excluded. The vessel density (VD) and retinal thickness of the macular and optic nerve head (ONH) area were automatically analyzed in 6 × 6 mm angioretina mode and 4.5 × 4.5 mm angiodisc mode, respectively.

The statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS 24.0 (SPSS Inc., IL, USA). Student's t-test was performed to compare normally distributed variables, while the Mann-Whitney test was performed to compare nonnormally distributed variables. Categorical variables were analyzed with the chi-squared test Statistical significance was set at p \< 0.05. The major statistically significant OCTA variables were included in the multivariable binary logistic regression model between NRON and RON. Then, thereceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated according to the model, and the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity (SE) and specificity (SP) were reported. In addition, for all RE patients, backward multiple linear regression was performed between each of the above OCTA variables and the statistically significant endocrine indexes.
The benefits of physical activity on managing chronic illnesses and multiple symptoms are well established. However, increasing the physical activity of persons living with Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC), especially low -income cancer survivors with MCC, is challenging. Home-based exercise improves physical activity and symptoms among persons with the single chronic disease. One major challenge of the home-based exercise is the motivation and adherence. The mobile technologies (e.g., wearable device and smartphone application) have been used to improve motivation and monitor a person physical activity. Guided by the society to cells framework and previous preliminary findings, the investigators developed a technology-enhanced home-based exercise program using a combination of the integrated mobile technologies (wearable device and phone application) and tailored home-based exercise. Participants will choose one of the four home-based exercise options \[National Institute of Aging (NIA) Go4Life, Iyengar-style yoga, walking, and modified Otago exercise\] based on participants' preference and goals. The integrated mobile technologies system will allow the investigators to extract heart rate data directly from the wearable device to the research server. This data will be used to provide appropriate and personalized feedback on physical performance and trigger algorithms to send the survey and notification to the participants in real time. This pilot project will examine the feasibility of this technology-enhanced home exercise tailored to participants' goals and preferences. The intervention will leverage the cancer survivorship phase (post-treatment) to motivate self-care by combining tailored existing evidence-based physical activity programs and mobile technology for participants to engage in the resilience-enhancing physical activity. Identification of BDNF's role as one of the exercise outcomes provide a novel target for an intervention and increase the investigators' understanding of the underlying mechanism of symptoms and resilience. This study aims to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the iHBE program among low-income cancer survivors living with co-morbid conditions. Eight participants who have completed treatment for a solid tumor cancer with at least one comorbidity (e.g., diabetes and/or hypertension) will be assigned to an open-label trial of the idea. The investigators will gather feedback on goal setting, problem-solving strategies, exercise choices, and tracking mechanisms, program feasibility, and acceptability and modify the intervention as needed.

A method and system for remote diagnosis of a radiograph includes remote locations connectable to diagnosis locations. At a remote location a radiographic image containing a part depicting tissue and a background part is obtained and digitized. The image can be considered to comprise a plurality of blocks. A block of the digitized radiographic image is segmented to obtain a part of the block which depicts mainly tissue. The part of the block is compressed and transmitted to a diagnosis location. This segmenting, compressing and transmitting of blocks is repeated until the entire part of the image which depicts tissue has been transmitted to the diagnosis location. For an image, the digitization, segmentation, compression and transmission can be performed in a pipelined fashion. optionally computer assisted diagnosis (CAD) can be performed on the digitized image. The diagnosis location receives the compressed segmented image and any CAD results; uncompressing the received image; combining the CAD results with the uncompressed image; and displays the uncompressed image and the CAD results.

Systemic inflammatory diseases in children include auto-inflammatory diseases (deregulation of the innate immune system with production of pro-inflammatory cytokines) and autoimmune diseases (deregulation of the adaptive immune system with production of pathogenic autoantibodies). Neurological damage has been reported in both cases, but the neurodevelopmental psychiatric manifestations are poorly known, especially in children. Neurodevelopmental disorders are a broad spectrum of pathologies with common symptomatic dimensions. They present a common physiopathology combining genetic predisposition factors as well as environmental risk factors, which allows them to be studied from a global perspective. Among the environmental risk factors, the immune system seems to play an important role in the appearance of these pathologies. In recent years, fundamental and animal studies have highlighted an important role of the immune system at the cerebral level. Indeed, far from the old notion of ""immune privilege"", the innate or adaptive immune balance seems to have a fundamental role in the proper development and functioning of the brain. Consequently, any change in the immune balance could then disrupt neurological development. Indeed, in recent years, epidemiological studies seem to indicate the role of immune-mediated events during pregnancy (maternal autoimmune/inflammatory pathology or infection during pregnancy) or the early years of life (autoimmune/inflammatory pathology) as risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders.

Neurodevelopmental manifestations are very poorly known in systemic inflammatory pathologies. They can have a significant impact and justify adapted care in order to limit the functional impact. Indeed, due to their pathology, these patients produce pro-inflammatory cytokines at an early stage which could have an impact on their neurodevelopment. The identification of neurodevelopmental disorders in these patients could be a clinical and epidemiological validation of preclinical studies highlighting the importance of the immune system in the proper development of the brain. The main objective of our study will be to define the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children suffering from systemic inflammatory diseases via the passing on by parents of children between 5 and 17 years old of three hetero-questionnaires (i) SRS (assessing social interaction disorders), (ii) ADHD-RS (assessing attentional and hyperactivity difficulties) (iii) BRIEF (assessing difficulties in executive functions). All the results of these scales are adjusted for the age and sex of the patients and provide a T-score (allowing a valid comparison).

This is a multi-centre cross-sectional study involving the collection of data from patients' medical records and questionnaires from patients' parents.
Limited population-based studies discuss the association between fat mass index (FMI) and the risk of liver diseases. This investigation utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine the linkage between the FMI and liver conditions, specifically steatosis and fibrosis. The study leveraged data from NHANES's 2017-2018 cross-sectional study, employing an oversampling technique to deal with sample imbalance. Hepatic steatosis and fibrosis were identified by vibration-controlled transient elastography. Receiver operating curve was used to assess the relationship of anthropometric indicators, e.g., the FMI, body mass index (BMI), weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), percentage of body fat (BF%), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI), with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. In this study, which included 2260 participants, multivariate logistic regression models, stratified analyses, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and sharp regression discontinuity analyses were utilized. The results indicated that the WHR and the FMI achieved the highest area under the curve for identifying hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, respectively (0.720 and 0.726). Notably, the FMI presented the highest adjusted odds ratio for both hepatic steatosis (6.40 [4.91-8.38], p = 2.34e-42) and fibrosis (6.06 [5.00, 7.37], p = 5.88e-74). Additionally, potential interaction effects were observed between the FMI and variables such as the family income-to-poverty ratio, smoking status, and hypertension, all of which correlated with the presence of liver fibrosis (p for interaction < 0.05). The RCS models further confirmed a significant positive correlation of the FMI with the controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness measurements. Overall, the findings underscore the strong link between the FMI and liver conditions, proposing the FMI as a potential straightforward marker for identifying liver diseases.
