Adrenal Cushing represents 20% of cases of endogenous hypercorticism. Unilateral cortisol-producing adenoma (CPA), a benign tumor, and adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), a malignant tumor, are more frequent than bilateral adrenal nodular diseases (primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH) and primary pigmented nodular adrenal disease (PPNAD)).In cortisol-producing adrenal tumors, the signaling pathways mainly altered are the protein kinase A and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Studying components of these pathways and exploring syndromic and familial cases of these tumors has historically enabled identification of many of the predisposing genes. More recently, pangenomic sequencing revealed alterations in sporadic tumors.In ACC, mainly due to TP53 alterations causing Li-Fraumeni syndrome, germline predisposition is frequent in children, while it is rare in adults. Pathogenic variants in the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2, which cause Lynch syndrome or alterations of IGF2 and CDKN1C (11p15 locus) in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, can also cause ACC. Rarely, ACC is described in other hereditary tumor syndromes due to germline pathogenic variants in MEN1 or APC and, in very rare cases, NF1, SDH, PRKAR1A, or BRCA2. Concerning ACC somatic alterations, TP53 and genetic or epigenetic alterations at the 11p15 locus are also frequently described, as well as CTNNB1 and ZNRF3 pathogenic variants.CPAs mainly harbor somatic pathogenic variants in PRKACA and CTNNB1 and, less frequently, PRKAR1A, PRKACB, or GNAS1 pathogenic variants. Isolated PBMAH is due to ARMC5 inactivating pathogenic variants in 20 to 25% of cases and to KDM1A pathogenic variants in food-dependent Cushing. Syndromic PBMAH may be due to germline pathogenic variants in MEN1, APC, or FH, causing type 1 multiple endocrine neoplasia, familial adenomatous polyposis, or hereditary leiomyomatosis-kidney cancer syndrome, respectively. PRKAR1A germline pathogenic variants are the main alteration causing PPNAD (isolated or part of Carney complex).
Anticoagulation continuation will be determined based on the rhythm monitored by ILR. If atrial fibrillation persists more than 6 hours a day, anticoagulation should be started at that point on and continued for four weeks. Anticoagulation can be prescribed even in case of less-than-6-hour cumulative atrial fibrillation burden if the investigator decides that the anticoagulation is necessary.
Patients undergo 3 freeze-thaw cycles of cryodevitalization over 30 seconds or 3, 5, or 7 minutes each during standard of care robotic bronchoscopy with biopsy on study. Patients then undergo standard of care surgical resection on study. Patients also undergo a chest x-ray on study as well as CT and tissue sample collection throughout the study.
Patients in Group A will receive core strengthening exercises along with the warm up exercises (lumbar stretches). CSE will constitute of abdominal hollowing, Side Bridge, supine extension bridge, straight leg rise from prone, alternate arm and leg raise from quadruped, and prone bridge.

The incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients affected by kidney failure, i.e. glomerular filtration rate <15 ml/min/1.73 m2, is high and probably underestimated. Numerous uncertainties remain regarding how to prevent thromboembolic events in this population because both cardiology and nephrology guidelines do not provide clear recommendations. The efficacy and safety of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAC) in preventing thromboembolism in patients with kidney failure and AF has not been demonstrated for either vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or direct anticoagulants (DOACs). Moreover, it remains unclear which is more effective and safer, because estimated creatinine clearance <25-30 ml/min was an exclusion criterion in the randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Three RCTs comparing DOACs and VKAs in kidney failure failed to reach the primary endpoint, as they were underpowered. The left atrial appendage is the main source of thromboembolism in the presence of AF. Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has recently been proposed as an alternative to OAC. RCTs comparing the efficacy and safety of LAAC versus OAC in kidney failure were terminated prematurely due to recruitment failure. A recent prospective study showed a reduction in thromboembolic events in haemodialysis patients with AF and undergoing LAAC compared with patients taking or not taking OAC. We review current treatment standards and discuss recent developments in managing the thromboembolic risk in kidney failure patients with AF. The importance of shared decision-making with the multidisciplinary team and the patient to consider individual risks and benefits of each treatment option is underlined.
Methods for purifying DNA repair enzymes are provided in which an aqueous solution of a DNA repair enzyme in an impure state is applied to a molecular sieve column having an exclusion limit which will retard the DNA repair enzyme but will not retard contaminants larger than the DNA repair enzyme. The DNA repair enzyme in an enhanced state of purity is eluted isocratically from the molecular sieve column in an elution buffer and applied directly to a DNA affinity column in the same buffer without intermediate dialysis, ultrafiltration, or other procedures. The DNA repair enzyme is eluted from the DNA affinity column using, for example, a salt gradient. The method is rapid, inexpensive, simple to perform, and has been found to produce a homogeneous final product. In accordance with other aspects of the invention, the purified DNA repair enzymes are encapsulated in liposomes and administered to living cells in situ. This form of administration has been found to be non-toxic to the cells and to result in increased incision of damaged DNA, enhanced DNA repair synthesis, and increased cell  survival after exposure to ultraviolet light. In certain preferred embodiments, DNA repair enzymes are administered in pH sensitive liposomes.

Production of Protective Lozenge/Chewable Tablet against SARS-CoV-2 Virus The present invention relates to producing a mixture (18) consisting of extracts of green tea, bilberry, pomegranate peel, and black poplar propolis. Upon revealing the surprising efficacy of the mixture (18) against SARS-CoV-2 virus, the mixture (18) was put into lozenge/chewable tablet form and its activity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus was demonstrated. The invention was developed in the form of a throat lozenge/chewable tablet in order to provide a protective effect around the mouth and throat, which is the first point of entry of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The effectiveness of the mixture (18) in the present invention against SARS-CoV-2 virus was tested on VERO E6 cells by in vitro methods. In the experiments lasting 160 hours, the mixture (18) neutralizes the virus by 112% (61% cell viability) at 110 µg/mL concentration and by 35% (82% cell viability) at 70 µg/mL concentration. The combination of herbal extracts with propolis extract were synergically more effective (~ 7-fold higher) than that of individual extract.

In the study group, the SEP (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California) was used according to the manufacturer's instructions, namely it was administered to the lingual surfaces of the teeth and rubbed for 3 s. Then a gentle burst of dry air was delivered to thin the primer. In the control group, the lingual surfaces of the teeth were etched using 37% phosphoric etchant liquid gel (3M Espe, St Paul, Minnesota, USA) for 30 s, followed by rinsing and drying.
Over 1/3 of adolescents and young adults who have undergone kidney or liver transplantation are nonadherent to antirejection medicines, accounting for shockingly high rates of infections, rejection, graft loss, and even death. Recently, the American Society of Transplantation highlighted real-time adherence intervention as top priorities to address antirejection medication nonadherence, but these evidence-based intervention tools do not exist. The investigators aim to answer the American Society of Transplantation's call and fill these critical gaps in nonadherence management for adolescents and young adults with kidney or liver transplant. Specifically, electronic pillboxes yield valuable real-time daily dosing data to guide interventions for adolescents and young adult kidney or liver transplant recipients, but existing interventions have not optimally leveraged these devices' capabilities. Just-in-time adaptive interventions delivered via mobile device (i.e., Smartphone or tablet) are cutting-edge approaches that fully incorporate adolescents and young adults' daily dose behavior to automatically deliver tailored intervention content exactly when adolescents and young adults need it most. The investigators piloted a promising static medication adherence support text message intervention based on the COM-B model, a well-established behavioral health intervention model, which will be modified into a just-in-time adaptive intervention for adolescents and young adult kidney or liver transplant recipients. Given that 95% of adolescents and young adults in the USA own smartphones, the investigators hypothesize that the investigators' intervention will improve on-time dosing and reduce rejection, graft loss, and death. The investigators believe that providing adherence support text messages or praise text messages will result in a higher proportion of adolescents and young adults taking the next dose and maintaining improvements in adherence post-intervention. In summary, the investigators' just-in-time adaptive intervention leverages real-time electronic pillbox-assessed dosing behavior and Smartphone text messaging capabilities to address tacrolimus or sirolimus nonadherence when nonadherence is detected.
Mother-daughter pairs will partake in an educational session at the baseline visit, which will cover topics on reading product labels, cleaning habit, and cooking methods for reducing environmental exposures. Educational materials will be adapted from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other accredited sources. Participants will also be introduced to free resources for consumer product safety information, such as the Detox Me phone application. Mother-daughter pairs in both study arms will return for a second clinic visit 6 months after the pre-intervention visit for blood and urine sample collection, Optical Spectroscopy (OS) measurement, and questionnaire completion. Control arm participants will be offered the chemical-free products, cleaning supplies, and air filter at this time.

This is a Phase II study of docetaxel, bevacizumab, prednisone and thalidomide in patients with androgen independent metastatic prostate cancer who are previously untreated with chemotherapy. The primary objective of this study is to determine if the combination of docetaxel, thalidomide and bevacizumab is able to be associated with a sufficiently high proportion of patients with a PSA response to be worthy of further investigation in metastatic prostate cancer. We will also be looking at multiple secondary endpoints. These will include possible pharmacokinetic interactions among the study agents, potential correlation between patient genotype and efficacy of treatment. We will also be looking for circulating endothelial cells in blood before and after treatment. Additionally we will be monitoring the tolerability of the regimen, time to disease progression, and survival duration as endpoints as well. We hope to use this trial to build on the promising results seen in our thalidomide/docetaxel protocol where there was a significant PSA decline and a trend toward survival benefit.
Participants randomized to the control arm will take part in Birth Control Connect control groups identical to those in the intervention arm, except no participants in the control arm will be current IUC users. Therefore, participants in the control arm will have interaction with non-IUC users only. We will measure these participants' attitudes and behavior related to IUC use before and after the twelve-day study period, and compare results to those of participants in the intervention arm. There will be up to 35 control groups of 9 members each.
Caregivers randomized to UC will be sent general material about VA and community resources for patients with dementia and their CGs. With the exception of this material, individuals in this group will receive usual care and will be contacted again at 3, 6, and 12 months for follow-up research assessments.

Gender Effect: The pharmacokinetics of modafinil are not affected by gender.

Age Effect: A slight decrease (~20%) in the oral clearance (CL/F) of modafinil was observed in a single dose study at 200 mg in 12 subjects with a mean age of 63 years (range 53 – 72 years), but the change was considered not likely to be clinically significant. In a multiple dose study (300 mg/day) in 12 patients with a mean age of 82 years (range 67 – 87 years), the mean levels of modafinil in plasma were approximately two times those historically obtained in matched younger subjects. Due to potential effects from the multiple concomitant medications with which most of the patients were being treated, the apparent difference in modafinil pharmacokinetics may not be attributable solely to the effects of aging. However, the results suggest that the clearance of modafinil may be reduced in the elderly (See DOSAGE ANDADMINISTRATION).

Race Effect: The influence of race on the pharmacokinetics of modafinil has not been studied.

Renal Impairment: In a single dose 200 mg modafinil study, severe chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance ≤ 20 mL/min) did not significantly influence the pharmacokinetics of modafinil, but exposure to modafinil acid (an inactive metabolite) was increased 9-fold (See PRECAUTIONS).

Hepatic Impairment: Pharmacokinetics and metabolism were examined in patients with cirrhosis of the liver (6 males and 3 females). Three patients had stage B or B+ cirrhosis (per the Child criteria) and 6 patients had stage C or C+ cirrhosis. Clinically 8 of 9 patients were icteric and all had ascites. In these patients, the oral clearance of modafinil was decreased by about 60% and the steady state concentration was doubled compared to normal patients. The dose of modafinil should be reduced in patients with severe hepatic impairment (See PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE ANDADMINISTRATION).
