The opioid blockade study evaluated the blockade of subjective opioid effects, PK and safety of subcutaneous injections of SUBLOCADE in 39 subjects with OUD (not treatment-seeking).

The peak (E max) effect of “Drug Liking” Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measurement after challenge with IM injections of 6 mg and 18 mg hydromorphone (HM) was not inferior (i.e., shown to be not substantially more likeable) compared to the E maxof “Drug Liking” VAS measured after challenge with placebo (at weeks 1 through 4 following the first injection of 300 mg SUBLOCADE). The noninferiority (NI) margin, the largest difference allowed for the 6 or 18 mg HM VAS to exceed the placebo VAS (the maximum VAS recorded following IM injection of 0 mg HM) before being considered significant, was set at 20. Based on comparison to the historical response to opioid agonists in unblocked subjects, a difference of less than 20 points (on a unipolar scale) between the mean maximum response to hydromorphone and the mean maximum placebo response for the same challenge was considered to indicate near-complete blockade. 

All 12 weeks of the treatment period demonstrated blockade for both 6 mg and 18 mg following SUBLOCADE injections. However, wide variation can be seen in isolated measurements from individual subjects, shown in the figure below. For comparison, stabilization doses of SL buprenorphine in Week 0 failed to provide full blockade to 18 mg of HM. Complete blockade continued throughout the 8 weeks of observation that followed the 2 ndSUBLOCADE injection. 

Figure 12 Median (95% Confidence Interval) of Placebo-Corrected Drug-Liking Scores by Hydromorphone Dose and by Week

  * Key to Figure: The grey shaded area indicates the period where subjects were stabilized with 8 to 24 mg/day sublingual (SL) buprenorphine; the two vertical arrows represent treatment injections of SUBLOCADE, with 300 mg of buprenorphine.
  * The light grey and dark grey squares represent the median E maxdrug-liking scores, placebo-corrected (VAS drug liking for that week's 0 mg dose subtracted) during the hydromorphone challenge of 6 and 18 mg, respectively. This median Placebo-Corrected E maxis shown by treatment week, together with its 95% confidence interval (CI; vertical line). In some cases, 95% CI are not visible as the median was equal to the confidence limit. The horizontal line at 20 mm delineates the non-inferiority margin for opioid blockade. Next to median estimates, individual data are summarized by circles, the area of which is proportional to the number of subjects at that location. 
  * The X axis shows how many weeks following injection #1 that each weeks' Placebo-Corrected Drug-Liking Score was measured. Beneath that treatment week indicator, is the number of subjects (N) who provided those VAS measurements for all three challenges with placebo, 6 and 18 mg hydromorphone.
The overall goal of the present project is to determine how future bariatric surgery will affect the taste for sweet liquids. Taste perception will be assessed before surgery (pre-operative, pre-op) and after bariatric surgery, at approximately 1 month. Taste studies will be conducted with solutions prepared freshly before each test using sucrose dissolved in distilled water. Six concentrations of sucrose (table sugar) will be tasted in random order, with the most concentrated solution being roughly the sweetness of soda. The subject is blinded to the concentrations. It is hypothesized that there will be no significant difference in taste perception when pre-op and post-op values are compared. However, the investigators hypothesize that taste preference will identify solutions with lower concentrations post-op.
Formoterol fumarate inhalation solution is supplied as 2 mL of formoterol fumarate inhalation solution packaged in a 2.5 mL single-use low-density polyethylene vial and overwrapped in a foil pouch. Each vial contains 2 mL of a clear, colorless solution composed of formoterol fumarate dihydrate, USP equivalent to 20 mcg of formoterol fumarate in an isotonic, sterile aqueous solution containing sodium chloride, pH adjusted to 5.0 with citric acid and sodium citrate.

The active component of formoterol fumarate inhalation solution is formoterol fumarate dihydrate, USP, a racemate. Formoterol fumarate dihydrate is a beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator. Its chemical name is (±)-2-hydroxy-5-[(1RS)-1-hydroxy-2-[[(1RS)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-amino]ethyl]formanilide fumarate dihydrate; its structural formula is:

Formoterol fumarate dihydrate, USP has a molecular weight of 840.92 and its empirical formula is (C19H24N2O4)2•C4H4O4•2H2O. Formoterol fumarate dihydrate, USP is a white to yellowish crystalline powder, which is freely soluble in glacial acetic acid, soluble in methanol, sparingly soluble in ethanol and isopropanol, slightly soluble in water, and practically insoluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, and diethyl ether.

Formoterol fumarate inhalation solution does not require dilution prior to administration by nebulization. Like all other nebulized treatments, the amount delivered to the lungs will depend on patient factors and the nebulization system used and its performance.

Using the PARI-LC Plus® nebulizer (with a facemask or mouthpiece) connected to a PRONEB® Ultra compressor under in vitro conditions, the mean delivered dose from the mouthpiece was approximately 7.3 mcg (37% of label claim). The mean nebulizer flow rate was 4 LPM and the nebulization time was 9 minutes. Formoterol fumarate inhalation solution should be administered from a standard jet nebulizer at adequate flow rates via a facemask or mouthpiece.
Smoking among PLWHA is a critical public health issue, with the rate of smoking 2-3 times greater than it is in the general population and the health risks of smoking outweighing those associated with the virus itself. Unfortunately, remarkably few studies have evaluated smoking cessation interventions for PLWHA and the available literature indicates that both behavioral and pharmacological smoking cessation interventions yield modest effect sizes and quit rates that are considerably lower than in the general population. A sizable literature, including studies by our research team, indicates that using the nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) to personalize the selection of medications for tobacco use and the MAPS intervention to augment adherence to these medications can optimize treatments for tobacco use among PLWHA. The NCI recognized the potential for clinicians to use the NMR to individualize cessation treatment in order to improve effectiveness (https://www.cancer.gov/about-nci/budget/plan/public-health) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has endorsed MAPS as an evidence-based approach to increasing medication adherence among PLWHA. As such, this trial will test these intervention optimization strategies to determine if individually or together they can represent an effective approach to treating tobacco use in this under-served population of smokers. As a major advance for this area of work, the investigators will use rigorous methodology to evaluate these optimization strategies (i.e., a randomized design, biological verification, an ITT approach, and 6-month outcome assessments) and, overall, our approach is consistent with the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework, which has been used to identify intervention components that maximize cessation outcomes. This trial will also assess theoretically derived and empirically based mechanisms through which these optimization strategies affect cessation and explore sub-groups who are more or less responsive to these strategies. In the end, this trial, which is consistent with the Office of AIDS Research trans-NIH Strategic Plan for HIV and HIV-Related Research (https://www.oar.nih.gov/hiv-policy-and-research/research-priorities), will determine if getting the right medication to the right person and making sure they adequately use the medication optimizes tobacco cessation treatments among PLWHA as a critical way to improve health outcomes for this population.

This pilot-study uses a one-group before-after design. Subjects: a convenience sample of 20 adults 18 years and older in the Winnipeg Health Region with a post-COVID-19 infection (≥ 3 months since acute infection) complaining of mild to severe persistent respiratory symptoms. Intervention: using the participants' initial assessment, personal characteristics, main complaints/needs and goals, the therapist will adjust the exercise plan and personalize the recommendations (e.g. maximum heart rate) as well as instruct the patients about safety precautions (how to pace themselves, when to seek professional or emergency care). Participants will be encouraged to wear the smart shirt as much as they want during the 6 weeks (29), but at a minimum of 1-hour a day (M-F) including while performing the recommended exercises (30-45 min/3 times a week). They should self-monitor their biometric values trying to reach/stay within the target values while wearing the shirt using Hexoskin app installed on an iPad provided by the research team or on the participants' personal device if preferred. Patients will also complete an online survey reporting symptoms intensity and activities completed, 3 times a week (over 6 weeks). Participants would be able to contact the research assistant overseeing the intervention at any time of the study if they have questions or concerns (text message or email). Otherwise, they will receive a follow-up phone call every week or if a significant change in their biometrical data is identified.
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is an autosomal recessive, neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness with onset in early adulthood. The causative gene, GNE, codes for the bifunctional enzyme uridine diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) kinase (GNE/MNK), which catalyzes the first 2 steps in the biosynthesis of sialic acid. The subsequent paucity of sialic acid production is presumed to cause decreased sialylation of HIBM muscle glycoproteins, resulting in muscle deterioration. In this Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, escalating single-dose study, we propose to provide ManNAc (N-acetyl-D-mannosamine monohydrate) orally as a liquid solution to 3 cohorts of 6 subjects (Cohorts A, B, C) at doses of 3,000 mg, 6,000 mg, and 10,000 mg ManNAc, respectively, or up to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of orally administered ManNAc to HIBM subjects, to identify the MTD of a single dose of orally administered ManNAc to HIBM subjects, and to explore the effect of a single dose of ManNAc on potential pharmacodynamic (PD) markers of HIBM. All subjects will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive ManNAc (n equals 4) or placebo (n equals 2) and the decision to dose-escalate will be the responsibility of the Safety Review Committee (SRC). Safety will be assessed by adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and electrocardiograms (ECGs). PK will be assessed for both ManNAc and sialic acid.
The main purpose of this study is to examine if pain levels treated with intrathecal (IT) preservative-free morphine (PFM) after a cesarean section improve with the additional use of continuous subfascial wound infiltration with ropivacaine using the OnQ® elastomeric pump system. As a double-blinded, randomized, placebo controlled study, women undergoing first, second or third cesarean section will be randomly assigned to one of 3 different groups. Group 1 will receive saline, group 2 will be given ropivacaine 0.1%, group 3 will be given ropivacaine 0.2%, all at a rate of 8ml/hr via the OnQ® pump system. Each group will also receive an 8mL bolus of the previously assigned infusate. The investigator will assess pain at rest and with movement at different time periods during the recovery process through 3 months post operatively. The investigator will also assess if the use of this system decreases the need for other pain medications and reduces the potential side-effects of pain treatment.

Diabetic foot ulcers, as one of the chronic wounds, are a serious challenge in the global healthcare system which have shown notable growth in recent years. DFU is associated with impairment in various stages of wound healing, including angiogenesis. Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in the disruption of the balance between angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors, plays a crucial role in angiogenesis dysfunction. Alteration in the expression of angiomiRNAs (angiomiRs) have the potential to function as biomarkers in chronic wounds. Additionally, considering the rising importance of therapeutic RNAs, there is potential for utilizing angiomiRs in wound healing to induce angiogenesis. This review aims to explore angiogenesis in chronic wounds and investigate the mechanisms mediated by pro- and anti-angiomiRs in the context of diabetic foot ulcers.

Adipose tissue, an indispensable organ, fulfils the pivotal role of energy storage and metabolism and is instrumental in maintaining the dynamic equilibrium of energy and health of the organism. Adipocyte hypertrophy and adipocyte hyperplasia (adipogenesis) are the two primary mechanisms of fat deposition. Mature adipocytes are obtained by differentiating mesenchymal stem cells into preadipocytes and redifferentiation. However, the mechanisms orchestrating adipogenesis remain unclear. Autophagy, an alternative cell death pathway that sustains intracellular energy homeostasis through the degradation of cellular components, is implicated in regulating adipogenesis. Furthermore, adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ, producing various cytokines, and certain inflammatory factors, in turn, modulate autophagy and adipogenesis. Additionally, autophagy influences intracellular redox homeostasis by regulating reactive oxygen species, which play pivotal roles in adipogenesis. There is a growing interest in exploring the involvement of autophagy, inflammation, and oxidative stress in adipogenesis. The present manuscript reviews the impact of autophagy, oxidative stress, and inflammation on the regulation of adipogenesis and, for the first time, discusses their interactions during adipogenesis. An integrated analysis of the role of autophagy, inflammation and oxidative stress will contribute to elucidating the mechanisms of adipogenesis and expediting the exploration of molecular targets for treating obesity-related metabolic disorders.
OBJECTIVE: There is evidence in Germany that half of the cervical cancer (CC) cases had undergone screening frequently in the decade preceding their diagnosis, signaling cytology quality issues. This study investigates routine smear assessment accuracy in Germany.
METHODS: Within a population-based case-control study in 9 German states, we recruited cases (women with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of CC) and population controls (women with no history of CC or hysterectomy). Two independent expert cytologists audited Pap smears taken within the 10 years preceding CC diagnosis (cases)/study entry (controls). We report the prevalence of positive results, as well as routine assessment's accuracy, as sensitivity, specificity, false-positive and false-negative rates along with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). We also examined cases' smear history, to investigate possible false-positive recurrence.
RESULTS: We audited 1632 smears of 392 women (18.9% cases, 81.1% controls). In the routine assessment, the overall prevalence of positive results was 4.5% (29.0% among cases). According to the expert audit, the overall prevalence of positive results was 7.7% (40.8% among cases). When restricting analyses to the 3 years preceding diagnosis/study entry, this prevalence increased to 11.9% overall (61.4% among cases). The overall sensitivity of the routine assessment was 54.9% (66.8% for cases).
CONCLUSION: As cytology remains an important part of CC screening, quality issues must be urgently addressed in Germany. Shifting to objective methods such as primary high-risk HPV screening followed by triaging may help CC elimination in Germany.
