Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality among the new-borns and characterized by the cognitive deficits, hypotonia, motor developmental and sensory function problems. The somatosensory system disorder such as touch, proprioception, pain and temperature may be seen in these infants and children. There is a delayed peripheral conduction of the stimulus and delayed cerebral processing may cause the abnormal tactile perception response. In the earliest period of life General Movements (GMs), a gestalt-based observation method is one of the most reliable and valid predictors of neurological dysfunction, and it is widely used. GMs occur in age-specific patterns and are described as fidgety movements between from 3 to 5 months in the post-term age. We did the GMs assessment on two different surfaces in the infants with DS and typically infants on the same day, and therefore assumed that determining the fidgety movements and the concurrent movement would enable to us observe the effect of extroceptive stimulation on the fidgety movements and the concurrent movement.

The aim of this study was to investigate the following questions: (i) are fidgety movements and the concurrent motor repertoire of infants with DS depending on different surfaces?, (ii) do fidgety movements and the concurrent motor repertoire change in neurotypical infants depending on the different surface?, and (iii), what are the differences between infants with DS and neurotypical infants?.
During liver resection high serum lactate (sLac) concentration can be related to several clinical factors: impairment in lactate metabolism (i.e. extraction and utilization by the liver) or overproduction by splanchnic tissues; restrictive fluid regimen in order to limit the intraoperative back-flow bleeding; ischemia-reperfusion syndrome. However, the Pringle maneuver (temporary clamping of the hepatic hilum) seems having a sensible effect in inducing a significant increase in sLac levels during liver resection, particularly in the event of compromised liver function such as in cirrhosis.

Although the peak of sLac concentration may correlate with outcome, the lactate clearance (cLac) seems to be a better predictor. To date, this relationship has been mainly demonstrated in severe sepsis and shock septic. However, the effective correlation between the cumulative clamping time and cLac has not been clearly investigated. The correlation between cumulative hepatic ischemic time and sLac trend in the perioperative period after liver resection with intermittent PM was investigated.
A method for separation the collagen from the various animal tissues is disclosed for preparing collagen solution and product using the same. The porcine tissues are processed to have proper form and size for acid-treatment. The acid-treatment is repeated with pepsin to separate type I or II collagens. The separated collagen is salt-treated for fractionation and ethanol-treated for obtaining 5˜10% of collagen from the initial tissue weight. The prepared tissues are processed for separating collagen through the collagen separating process. The separated collagen is processed for preparing product. The method for preparing product is comprised: treating a collagen solution having a predetermined concentration under a neutral condition at a low temperature, followed by overnight treatment at a temperature of 30 to 35° C.; concentrating collagen by centrifugation; and dissolving the thus-concentrated collagen in refrigerated weakly-acidic solvent or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), thereby preparing collagen having a concentration of 1 to 5 mg/mL.

The COVID-19 pandemic compromised the principles underlying the functioning of public health, which is understood as the prevention of diseases and care for the health of entire communities. During the pandemic period, the efforts of the health system focused on patients with suspected infection and those infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which led to changes in the provision of health services and the characteristics of patients receiving medical services at the pre-hospital stage. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on potential health emergencies in paediatric patients based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10). The data used in the study were derived from interventions carried out by Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) in central and eastern Poland, involving patients who were under 18 years of age (n = 12,619). The data were collected from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2022. The study used descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U Test, and the Chi-square test. The study reveals that fewer paediatric patients (5.28%) were provided medical services by EMTs during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period (5.86%). There was a decrease in the number of injuries in paediatric patients (from 42.0 to 32.7%; p < 0.001), and more patients were left at the location from which the call was made (18.9 vs. 23.9%; p < 0.001). Moreover, during the pandemic, as compared to the pre-pandemic period, there was an increase in the number of cases of pre-hospital assistance provided to paediatric patients with fever, irrespective of gender, area (village, city) or patient age. During the pandemic, paediatric patients consumed alcohol more frequently. The age of patients who were provided with assistance by EMTs decreased (median of 10.0 vs. 9.0; p < 0.001). The COVID-19 pandemic brought about changes in the prevalence of potential health emergencies in children. The incidence of injuries decreased, while the number of interventions due to fever and alcohol consumption increased. There was a reduction in the number of patients transported to the hospital. In addition, the age of patients who received medical assistance decreased. The study shows health problems that were faced by paediatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and, therefore, can be helpful in preparing the healthcare system for emergency situations.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating neuropsychiatric condition closely linked to neuroinflammation, with a higher prevalence in women. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown promise as a potential treatment for PTSD. In this study, we used a PTSD model in which female rats were subjected to a severe foot shock followed by contextual situational reminders (SRs). Testing was conducted one month after exposure. The rats received daily CBD injections for three weeks during the SRs, from days 7 to 28. Two days after the final SR, the rats underwent five extinction trials, followed by the forced swim test (FST). After a five-day rest period, the rats were sacrificed, and brain tissues from the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and ventral subiculum (vSUB) were analyzed for inflammatory markers. Chronic CBD treatment reversed impairments in fear extinction caused by shock and SR. It also reduced learned helplessness in the FST and decreased the upregulation of mPFC-il1β induced by shock and SRs. Additionally, exposure to shock and SRs downregulated mPFC-il6 while upregulating vSUB-il6. CBD treatment further downregulated il6 expression in the vSUB compared to the vehicle groups. Our findings show that CBD effectively inhibited the development of PTSD-like behaviors and suppressed neuroinflammation in the mPFC.
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence suggests an association between Modic changes (MC) and subclinical infection and inflammatory reactions. However, the relationship between preoperative MC and surgical site infection (SSI) has not been fully explored. This study aims to investigate the correlation between MC and SSI.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients (n = 646) who underwent single-level lumbar spine surgery for lower back pain in our hospital between 2018 and 2023. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria, the patients were divided into an SSI group (n = 40) and a Non-SSI group (n = 606). Univariate analysis was performed to determine the statistical differences in variables between the two groups, and the variables with significant differences were included in a multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for SSI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed on the independent risk factors.
RESULTS: The SSI group and the Non-SSI group exhibited significant differences in diabetes prevalence, MC prevalence, Total endplate score (TEPS) and area ratio of MC (P < 0.05). Age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)score, hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), MC classification, and the location of MC in the endplate showed no significant differences (P > 0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was performed on the variables with significant differences, and the results indicated a significant correlation between TEPS (P = 0.009) and the area ratio of MC changes (P = 0.001) with SSI. ROC curve analysis was performed on the TEPS and area ratio of MC changes, and the results showed that the diagnostic value of TEPS (AUC: 0.641; CI: 0.522-0.759) is lower than the area ratio of MC (AUC: 0.722; CI: 0.621-0.824), and the combined diagnosis did not significantly improve the diagnostic value (AUC: 0.747; CI: 0.653-0.842). The area ratio of MC had moderate diagnostic value for SSI (AUC: 0.722; CI: 0.621-0.824), with a cut-off value of 24.62% determined by the Youden index (sensitivity: 69.2%; specificity: 73.1%), and for every 1% increase in the area ratio of MC changes, the risk of SSI in MC patients increased by 10.3% (OR = 1.103; CI: 1.044-1.167).
CONCLUSION: The area ratio MC and the TEPS are independent risk factors for SSI after lumbar spine surgery. The predictive value of the area ratio of MC is greater than TEPS, and when the two are combined, the predictive value is not significantly improved. When the rate of MC exceeds 24.62%, caution should be exercised regarding the occurrence of SSI.
Precut sphincterotomy is an alternative technique used to facilitate CBD cannulation following the failure of conventional bile duct cannulation. Needle knife papillotomy is the most widely practiced precut technique. However,Pre-cutting the papilla with a needle-knife is difficult, requiring experience and dexterity to control the axis and depth of the cut. Due to the increased rate of complications associated with this procedure, including pancreatitis, hemorrhage, and perforation, it was recommended to be performed only by experienced endoscopists.

The knob-tipped knife, a novel instrument utilizing a 2mm or 1.5mm cutting knife, is usually used for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Its knob-shaped tip and nonadjustable length make the knife less likely to slip and penetrate the tissue during the resection. Since the process of precut papillotomy is similar to ESD, the precutting procedure with the knob-tipped knife may be easier to be performed, as well as be safer. The efficacy and safety of this instrument in precut papillotomy have not been reported. We therefore assessed the efficacy and safety of the knob-tipped knife in precut papillotomy in difficult CBD cannulation.
Several epidemiological studies suggest that the risk of death from cardiovascular causes among women with preeclampsia may be increased, and that preeclampsia contrary to what has been long thought, is not cured with delivery. Preeclampsia has long been considered a 2-stage disease, stage one corresponding to an impaired placental perfusion resulting from abnormal spiral artery remodeling, and stage two corresponding to the maternal manifestations of disease, characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. However, preeclampsia might include an additional, 3rd stage, that of the post-partum period (Gammill \& Roberts, 2007) This phase deserves to be investigated. In particular, it is crucial to determine whether the changes that occur in renal hemodynamics during preeclampsia are reversible after more than 6 weeks, and whether PEC women are salt-sensitive after delivery.

The link between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular mortality is well established. An independent, graded association exists between a reduced GFR and the risk of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization (Go et al, 2004). Besides, salt-sensitivity is associated with an increased cardiovascular and renal risk (Franco \& Oparil, 2006). The Renal Post PEC study aims at establishing if the renal dysfunctions that occur in PEC women can be reversed by the administration of inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system that are known to improve cardiovascular and renal risk profiles in hypertensive patients. By virtue of their potent renal vasodilatory properties and favourable remodelling of the GBM, ACE inhibitors may improve salt-sensitivity, endothelial function, renal plasma flow and GFR, and general renal prognosis in women who experienced from preeclampsia.
The International multicenter FEnofibRate as a Metabolic INtervention for COVID-19 (FERMIN) trial is being executed. The aim of this trial is to assess the impact of fenofibrate (administered for 10 days) to improve clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19, assessed at 30 days. However, given the accumulating evidence of chronic / long term sequelae of COVID-19, it is important to assess the long-term impact of this intervention in this patient population. The overarching goal of this substudy is to assess the impact of fenofibrate on key intermediate phenotypes of vascular, cardiac and pulmonary health. We also aim to address the impact of fenofibrate therapy (administered during the acute COVID-19 episode as part of the parent FERMIN trial) on long-term integrated cardiopulmonary function, persistent/chronic symptoms and quality of life. We will accomplish this via enrollment of previous FERMIN participants from the University of Pennsylvania, in an phenotyping study designed to assess vascular, cardiac and pulmonary status several months after the index episode of COVID-19. We will perform these assessments \~6 months after initial randomization, among 40 FERMIN trial participants enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania.

Previous evolutionary perspectives proposed that the space-time mapping on the sagittal axis originates from visuo-locomotion coupling when walking/running forward. Accordingly, the congenitally blind could not have developed a sagittal mental timeline if the latter depends on such a visuo-locomotion coupling. However, this conclusion was reached in only a single empirical study (Rinaldi et al. in J Exp Psychol General 147:444-450, 2018), and its theoretical underpinnings are not entirely convincing as locally static and continuous auditory input undergoes a relatively similar change as function of self-locomotion, but this type of sensory-locomotion coupling is spared even in congenital blindness. Therefore, the present study systematically explored whether the congenitally blind show space-time mappings on the sagittal axis using different paradigms in three experiments. In Experiment 1, using a typical implicit RT task, the congenitally blind showed the same preferred space-time mapping in the sagittal dimension as normally sighted participants did. In Experiment 2, this space-time mapping occurred even automatically when temporal relations were task-irrelevant in a naming task. In Experiment 3, in an explicit space-time mapping task, the congenitally blind were more likely to locate the past behind and the future in front of their bodies. Moreover, most blind participants used spatial metaphors for their space-time mapping on the sagittal axis. These results supported the conclusion that the congenitally blind have a sagittal mental timeline, and that their sensory-locomotion coupling experience was either more similar to that of sighted participants or not critical for the space-time mapping. The present study, thus, also helps to clarify the origin of the sagittal mental timeline.
