Dry eye is a very common condition that can cause blurring of vision associated with reading, grittiness, eyelid heaviness and poor tolerance of light. Up to 80% of dry eye is due to blocked oil glands in the eyelids known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and scientific studies have shown that sustained eyelid warming at 40-42°C for at least 8 minutes a day is effective to control this condition and increase the tear film layer thickness.

Portable USB-powered eyemasks provide convenience to dry eye sufferers to perform eyelid warming at home. Such eyemasks can be plugged into a copyrighted device developed in collaboration with Ngee Ann Polytechnic that tracks patients' usage. This revolutionary device transmits a signal and is sent to a cloud system whenever the device is used and activity of usage will be recorded. The cloud database only allows access to administrator and will be password protected. You or your physician can monitor the frequency of eyelid warming over a long period. To further encourage eyelid warming to be performed more frequently, the signal can also be sent to a participating games server which hastens progress in the game. Thus, addiction to online games, which usually worsens symptoms of dry eye can now be a way to treat dry eye.

The ability to locate and travel successfully to a destination, known as wayfinding, is a significant problem for older adults with cognitive disorders. Relocating to a new residence such as independent or assisted living is a time in which older adults with cognitive problems are most vulnerable to experiencing wayfinding problems. Often these communities are not designed to facilitate wayfinding as they are complex, confusing, and lack distinctiveness. Wayfinding problems can cause individuals' worlds to shrink, leading to a smaller life space (the spatial extent of travel within the community), decreased engagement, and dependence upon others for activities of daily living. The overall goal of the proposed project is to assess the contribution of salient visual cues and Spaced Retrieval (SR) on wayfinding ability and life space in older adults with wayfinding problems who live in senior communities. Salient cues, such as vivid pictures, statues and bright, distinctive signage can make senior residential communities more memorable and distinctive. This study has three specific aims: a) to examine the effect of salient cues with and without SR on wayfinding ability initially and over time in older adults who have wayfinding deficits in senior communities; and b) To determine the effects of salient visual cues and SR on life space; and c) to determine subject characteristics that are most amenable to the intervention; wand which subject characteristics place persons at risk for less responsiveness to the intervention so that the intervention can be appropriately targeted. There are three arms to the clinical trial to which nine care communities will be randomly assigned, including Arm 1 (control; no change to the care community); Arm 2 (colorful and familiar objects and signage placed within the care community); and Arm 3 (Arm 2 cues plus SR). Participants will be individuals within the communities who exhibit problems finding their way. They will be asked to find their way repeatedly to specific destinations over a period of a year. Wayfinding performance, including how fast the participants find the test location and the errors they make compared between study Arms. Life space will also be measured and compared between Arms. It is hypothesized that individuals who are in care communities which are enhanced with salient cues will improve wayfinding when compared to care communities without salient cues. In addition, Spaced Retrieval, which is an evidence-based memory strategy, is hypothesized to positively influence subjects' use of the cues and improve wayfinding performance. Finally, it is hypothesized that wayfinding ability will correlate with life space. The long term goals of this research are to test an evidence based intervention to enhance senior residences so that older adults who have wayfinding problems can more easily learn and remember their environments so that they can maintain independence.
Participants in this arm will undergo One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass surgery with the bypass performed at a distance of 150 centimeters from the duodenojejunal junction. This approach aims to achieve weight loss while potentially minimizing nutritional deficiencies by utilizing a shorter bypass length. Postoperative outcomes will be monitored, focusing on weight loss, total weight loss percentage, excess weight loss percentage, and nutritional markers such as albumin, calcium, and iron levels.
Hemolytic anemia requiring hospitalization has been reported with apomorphine treatment in the postmarketing setting. Many of the reported cases included positive direct antiglobulin test (Coombs test), suggesting a potential immune-mediated hemolysis. Severe anemia, angina, and dyspnea have occurred with hemolytic anemia. Some patients were treated with high dose glucocorticoids or blood transfusions. Hemolytic anemia can appear at any time after apomorphine treatment. If a patient develops anemia while taking APOKYN, consider a workup for hemolytic anemia. If hemolytic anemia occurs, consider discontinuing APOKYN treatment.
The CMV Retinitis Retreatment Trial (ACTG 228/SOCA CRRT) was a randomized, open-label comparison of FOSCAVIR or ganciclovir monotherapy to the combination of both drugs for the treatment of persistently active or relapsed CMV retinitis in patients with AIDS. Subjects were randomized to one of the three treatments: FOSCAVIR 90 mg/kg BID induction followed by 120 mg/kg QD maintenance (Fos); ganciclovir 5 mg/kg BID induction followed by 10 mg/kg QD maintenance (Gcv); or the combination of the two drugs, consisting of continuation of the subject's current therapy and induction dosing of the other drug (as above), followed by maintenance with FOSCAVIR 90 mg/kg QD plus ganciclovir 5 mg/kg QD (Cmb). Assessment of retinitis progression was performed by masked evaluation of retinal photographs. The median times to retinitis progression or death were 39 days for the FOSCAVIR group, 61 days for the ganciclovir group and 105 days for the combination group. For the alternative endpoint of retinitis progression (censoring on death), the median times were 39 days for the FOSCAVIR group, 61 days for the ganciclovir group and 132 days for the combination group. Due to censoring on death, the latter analysis may overestimate the treatment effect. Treatment modifications due to toxicity were more common in the combination group than in the FOSCAVIR or ganciclovir monotherapy groups (see ADVERSE REACTIONS section).
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common disease that refers to involuntary loss of urine. The prevalence of female UI varies widely across different studies, mostly ranging from 25-40%. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common type of UI. SUI is defined as involuntary loss of urine when abdominal pressure increases suddenly such as coughing or sneezing. SUI affects women's quality of life seriously, causing psychological problems such as anxiety and depression, even socialization difficulties.

There are many treatment options for female SUI, including non-surgical and surgical interventions. For example, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the primary non-surgical treatment method, requiring females to perform Kegel exercises consistently. PMFT has been shown to be effective for female SUI, but the efficacy is dependent on the quality of PMFT. Outpatient PFMT has a higher objective cure rate compared with home PFMT. Surgery is the most effective treatment option, and the most common procedure is the mid-urethral sling (MUS). Nevertheless, surgical risks such as persistent pain after surgery, bleeding, infection, and urinary dysfunction cannot be ignored. Many outpatients are unable to persist in performing high-quality PFMT and do not consent to surgical treatment. Clinicians and patients need a highly effective and low-risk therapy urgently, thus energy-based therapies were born on demand.The result of energy-based therapies including radiofrequency (RF), Erbium: YAG (Er: YAG) laser, and CO2 laser is controversial, which has been reported in several papers. This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the fractional CO2 laser in the treatment of female SUI, as well as its impact on women's quality of life.

Research suggests promising benefits of acupuncture in terms of symptom control and quality of life improvements in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. but the cost of the needle and the invasive nature of the procedure decreases patient compliance with acupuncture. in this respect, acupressure can be taught to patients to allow them to perform it themselves, instead of being administered by practitioners. Self-administered acupressure is less time-intensive, low-cost, and flexible to perform. Nurses involved in irritable bowel syndrome patient care play an active role in the practitioner-patient relationship By assessing the specific symptoms that are present, determining the severity of symptoms and the impact on the irritable bowel syndrome patient's life, and being knowledgeable of available treatment options, the nurse involved in irritable bowel syndrome care becomes an essential conduit of information and a valuable facilitator of a positive practitioner-patient therapeutic relationship. In this way, nurses can help to limit the negative consequences of this common disorder and improve overall treatment outcomes in this population. . Thus this study will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of active self-administered acupressure on diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome
Following a gluten-free diet is difficult. Eating small amounts of gluten may be common. Gluten may cause a wide range of symptoms, or no symptoms at all. Thus, there is not always a 'feedback loop' to alert to accidental gluten exposure. Nevertheless, these "silent" gluten exposures may interfere with recovery and healing of the intestine. New tools are available to test for fragments of gluten - Gluten Immunogenic Peptides (GIPs) in urine and stool.

The goal of this research study is to evaluate how knowledge of gluten-immunogenic peptide (GIP) levels in urine and stool affects subsequent adherence to a gluten-free diet. Participants will be children with celiac disease recruited at Boston Children's Hospital. All participants will undergo a diet assessment by a dietitian at the beginning and end of the study. At random intervals, participants will be prompted to collect their next urine sample and complete a survey related to symptoms and diet adherence. Half of the participants will store the sample to be tested later and the rest of the participants will be provided with devices to test their urine at home to receive immediate results. Participants in the home testing group will also be given a set of stool tests (x4) to use at their own discretion during the study period, and will report results and reasons for test use to the research team. GIP test results will be compared to other measures of celiac disease and gluten-free diet adherence, including antibody tests. These findings will help to determine how these new tools can be used to improve gluten-free diet adherence and symptoms and the effect on quality of life.

According to the National Institutes of Health, "obesity is one of the most daunting health challenges of the 21st century". Approximately 2/3 of all adults are overweight or obese. Efforts to abate the growing prevalence of obesity have not been successful. The Strategic Plan for NIH Obesity Research proposes preventing and treating obesity through lifestyle modification. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a theory-based intervention framed within the Health Promotion Model (HPM) in facilitating weight loss and maintenance through promotion of healthy eating and physical activity among an underserved, vulnerable population of overweight or obese rural women aged 40-69. During these years, women experience increases in peri- and post-menopausal health risks that are magnified if they are overweight or obese. Weight loss will reduce risks and enhance functional status as they age. Maintenance of weight loss will be emphasized. The Internet offers a way to reach isolated rural women who have limited options for weight loss guidance. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Obesity is recognized as a major and growing public health problem. While many weight loss programs have been successful in the short term, they have not been successful in helping to maintain weight loss.
Features, such as anatomical features, may be automatically segmented from medical imaging information, using a computer-implemented method. In an example, three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging information may be received, such as defining a first volume. A first trained convolutional neural network (CNN) may be applied to the three-dimensional medical imaging information. An output from the first trained CNN may be used to determine a region-of-interest within the first volume, the region-of-interest defining a lesser, second volume. A different, second trained CNN may be applied to the region-of-interest, a segmented representation of the 3D medical imaging information may be provided using the outputs from the first and second CNNs, where the second CNN provides enhanced segmentation detail in the region-of-interest without requiring application of the second CNN to an entirety of the first volume. Techniques are also described from training one or more of the first and second CNNs.
