This study was a prospective two-armed randomized clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of the intensive care unit diary for intensive care unit liver transplant recipients. The investigators used simple random allocation with a drawing from a lots container to divide the sample into an experimental group and a control group. The participants in the control group received the routine care including communication and companionship provided by the nurses of the intensive care unit. The participants in the intervention group received the intensive care unit diary writing and reading. Participants are required to write at least one sentence daily. The primary writers will be the patients themselves, and in cases where patients are unable to write, their family members will write on their behalf. After completion, the diary will be handed over to the patients to review its contents for at least 10 minutes before bedtime, allowing them to write down their immediate reflections and thoughts on when they read. This process will continue until the 14th day post-operation.

There will be a total of three time questionnaire, each taking 10-15 minutes to complete. The first questionnaire will be administered upon enrollment and will include self-constructed basic demographic and disease-related attribute questionnaires, Depression-Anxiety-Stress scale, Brief Symptom Rating Scale , and a Sense of Coherence Scale. The second questionnaire will be administered on the 7th day post-operation, consisting of Depression-Anxiety-Stress scale, Brief Symptom Rating Scale , and a Sense of Coherence Scale. The third questionnaire will be administered on the 14th day post-operation, containing Depression-Anxiety-Stress scale, Brief Symptom Rating Scale , and a Sense of Coherence Scale.Data collection will be conducted by co-principal investigator of the research team. She will distribute the questionnaires at enrollment, and on the 7th and 14th days post-operation. Once notified by the researchers, data collector will distribute and collect the questionnaires. Upon completion, the questionnaires will be sealed in envelopes by the data collectors. The data will be analyzed to investigate the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing stress, depression, and anxiety in liver transplant patients, as well as sense of coherence and reducing the incidence of delirium.
STUDY PROCEDURE:

Demographic, pathological and intraoperative data will be recorded in a prospectively maintained database populated from a combination of electronic patient records, preoperative imaging and anaesthetic charts. Preoperative clinical data included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and the results of serum biochemical investigations including serum bilirubin, urea and amylase. The serum amylase measured throughout the study period is total amylase. Preoperative computed tomography images will beanalyzed to calculate pancreatic duct diameter at the line of transection of the pancreas anterior to the portal vein. Intraoperative data included reconstruction technique, texture of the pancreatic remnant and estimated blood loss. Blood loss data will be compiled from a combination of anaesthetic charts and perioperative blood transfusion data. Specimens will be dichotomized according to whether their pathology was associated with hard pancreatic parenchyma \[pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and chronic pancreatitis\] or with soft or normal pancreatic parenchyma (ampullary carcinoma, duodenal carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours and other lesions). Outcome data included length of stay in a critical care environment \[defined as either an intensive care unit (ICU) or a surgical high-dependency unit (SHDU)\] and length of postoperative hospital stay. All postoperative complications will be prospectively recorded and graded according to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) and International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) classifications and the Clavien-Dindo classification. Complications of ISGPS Grades B and C and Clavien-Dindo Grades III-V are considered clinically significant. Mortality will be recorded at 30-day and 90-day time-points.

Serum amylase will be systematically measured on POD1 and POD3 according to our institutional policy. No additional radiological or laboratory studies are required for the diagnosis of postoperative pancreatitis. No specific protocols for the treatment of POP will be followed during the study period because none are available. Due to the absence of a widely accepted definition, POP is defined according to Connor's definition1 as an elevation in serum pancreatic amylase above the upper limit of normal on postoperative day (POD) 0 or 1. At our institution, the upper limit of normal for serum pancreatic amylase is 100 U/L.

Then patients followed up in outpatient department for 10 days for any evidence of wound infection.
BACKGROUND: The goal was to determine the thickness and width of the knee joint meniscus at their different regions. The objective was to compare the dimensions at these regions and over the right- and left-sided specimens.
METHODS: The present study included 50 adult cadaveric knee joints, and 100 menisci (50 medial menisci and 50 lateral menisci) were studied. The meniscus was distributed into anterior, middle and posterior parts. Thickness and width at the mid-point of these three parts were determined by using the Vernier caliper.
RESULTS: The breadth of the medial meniscus was 8.38 ± 1.64 mm, 7.68 ± 1.92 mm and 13.93 ± 2.69 mm at the anterior, middle and posterior one-third regions. Same measurements for the lateral menisci at these regions were 9.84 ± 1.78 mm, 8.82 ± 2.01 mm and 10.18 ± 2.23 mm, respectively. The thickness of the medial meniscus was 4.49 ± 0.78 mm, 4.07 ± 0.81 mm and 4.79 ± 0.93 mm at these regions. The lateral meniscus thickness was 3.82 ± 0.69 mm, 4.43 ± 0.98 mm and 4.36 ± 0.8 mm, respectively.
CONCLUSION: It is believed that this data is enlightening to the arthroscopic surgeon during the meniscus transplantation either by using synthetic material or allograft as the proper sizing of the meniscus is important to prevent complications due to inaccurate sizing.
By means of a nationwide, prospective, multicenter, observational cohort registry collecting data on 7375 patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 admitted to children's hospitals in Germany, March 2020-November 2022, our study assessed the clinical features of children and adolescents hospitalized due to SARS-CoV-2, evaluated which of these patients might be at highest risk for severe COVID-19, and identified underlying risk factors. Outcomes tracked included: symptomatic infection, case fatality, sequelae at discharge and severe disease. Among reported cases, median age was one year, with 42% being infants. Half were admitted for reasons other than SARS-CoV-2. In 27%, preexisting comorbidities were present, most frequently obesity, neurological/neuromuscular disorders, premature birth, and respiratory, cardiovascular or gastrointestinal diseases. 3.0% of cases were admitted to ICU, but ICU admission rates varied as different SARS-CoV-2 variants gained prevalence. Main risk factors linked to ICU admission due to COVID-19 were: patient age (> 12 and 1-4 years old), obesity, neurological/neuromuscular diseases, Trisomy 21 or other genetic syndromes, and coinfections at time of hospitalization. With Omicron, the group at highest risk shifted to 1-4-year-olds. For both health care providers and the general public, understanding risk factors for severe disease is critical to informing decisions about risk-reduction measures, including vaccination and masking guidelines.
The invention discloses application of miR-431 as a target point in preparation of a medicament for promoting SP expression. Application of MicroRNA-431 as a therapeutic target in preparation of medicines for treating diseases caused by deficiency of lung surfactant protein. The substance for inhibiting miR-431 expression can be used for inhibiting BMP 4/activin/TGF-beta signal pathway by directly targeting SMAD4 to promote the expression of lung surfactant protein, so that the substance can be applied to the preparation of medicines for treating diseases caused by lung surfactant protein deficiency. The invention explores the functions of miR-431 and a target gene SMAD4 thereof. The data indicate that inhibition of miR-431 can promote expression of SP by inhibiting the BMP4/activin/TGF- β signaling pathway by directly targeting SMAD 4. The research provides important molecules and cellular basis of miR-431, and the miR-431 is used as a potential marker of fetal lung development and one of potential therapeutic targets of lung development diseases.

Outcome measures concerning symptom change will be assessed (anxiety and depression). Semi-structured qualitative interview with participants, caregivers and referring specialists will help identify possible contextual and practical factors associated with delivery of the intervention and explore acceptability of assessment procedures, the intervention, and perceived benefits and barriers to participation.
BACKGROUND: Plant-rich dietary patterns may protect against negative health outcomes among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), although aspects of plant-based diet quality have not been studied. This study aimed to examine associations between healthful and unhealthful plant-based dietary patterns with risk of all-cause mortality among CKD patients for the first time.
METHODS: This prospective analysis included 4807 UK Biobank participants with CKD at baseline. We examined associations of adherence to both the healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI) and unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI), calculated from repeated 24-h dietary assessments, with risk of all-cause mortality using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models.
RESULTS: Over a 10-year follow-up, 675 deaths were recorded. Participants with the highest hPDI scores showed a 34% lower risk of mortality [HRQ4vsQ1 (95% CI): 0.66 (0.52-0.83), ptrend <0.001]. Those with the highest uPDI scores had a 52% [1.52 (1.20-1.93), ptrend = 0.002] higher risk of mortality compared to participants with the lowest respective scores. In food group-specific analyses, higher wholegrain intakes were associated with a 29% lower mortality risk, while intakes of refined grains, and sugar-sweetened beverages were associated a 30% and 34% higher risk, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: In CKD patients, a higher intake of healthy plant-based foods was associated with a lower risk of mortality, while a higher intake of less healthy plant-based foods was associated with a higher risk of mortality. These results underscore the importance of plant food quality and support the potential role of healthy plant food consumption in the treatment and management of CKD to mitigate unfavourable outcomes.
The patients will be randomly assigned into two groups: Clinical Pilates (CP) Group and Classic Physiotherapy (CF) Group. Both groups will be treated for 8 weeks. The evaluation of the patients will be done before the beginning of exercise program and will be repeated at the end. Static balance of patients will be evaluated with Single Leg Stance Test and Tandem Stance Test, dynamic balance with Functional Reach Test (FRT) and 30 second Chair Stand Test. Postural control and balance will also be evaluated with Berg Balance Scale and functional capacity by Timed Up and Go Test. Symptom severity and treatment complications of the patients will be evaluated with United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale.
INTRODUCTION: Internal hernia (IH) after Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can lead to extended small bowel ischemia if it not recognized and treated promptly. The aim of this study is to show whether improvement in mesenteric defect (MD) closure reduces the incidence of IH.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from our database including all patients who underwent laparoscopic RYGB between 1999 and 2015. The usual technique was a retrocolic/retrogastric RYGB. We divided patients in four groups according to the closure technique for MD and compared incidences of IH between groups. All patients had at least 8 years of follow-up.
RESULTS: A total of 1927 patients (1497 females/460 males, mean age of 41.5 ± 11 years) were operated. A retrocolic/retrogastric RYGB was performed in 1747 (90.7%) and an antecolic RYGB in 180 patients. Mean duration of follow-up was 15 (8-24) years. 111 patients (5.8%) developed IH, the majority through the jejunojejunostomy (JJ, 3.7%) and Petersen (1.7%) defects. With improvement of closure technique, the incidence decreased over time, from 12.9% in the group with separate sutures to 1.05% in the most recent group with running non-absorbable sutures and an additional purse-string at the JJ defect (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION: Meticulous closure of MD during RYGB is a very important step that significantly reduces the IH risk after RYGB, even with a retrocolic/retrogastric anatomy. Using running non absorbable braided sutures and an additional purse-string suture at the JJ is the most effective technique, but a small IH risk persists. A high index of suspicion remains necessary in patients who present with acute abdominal pain after RYGB.
The domestication of crops, coupled with agroecosystem development, is associated with major environmental changes and provides an ideal model of phenotypic plasticity. Here, we examined 32 genotypes of three tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) subspecies, wild emmer, emmer, and durum wheat, which are representative of the key stages in the domestication of tetraploid wheat. We developed a pipeline that integrates RNA-Seq data and population genomics to assess gene expression plasticity and identify selection signatures under diverse nitrogen availability conditions. Our analysis revealed differing gene expression responses to nitrogen availability across primary (wild emmer to emmer) and secondary (emmer to durum wheat) domestication. Notably, nitrogen triggered the expression of twice as many genes in durum wheat compared to that in emmer and wild emmer. Unique selection signatures were identified at each stage: primary domestication mainly influenced genes related to biotic interactions, whereas secondary domestication affected genes related to amino acid metabolism, in particular lysine. Selection signatures were found in differentially expressed genes (DEGs), notably those associated with nitrogen metabolism, such as the gene encoding glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). Overall, our study highlights the pivotal role of nitrogen availability in the domestication and adaptive responses of a major food crop, with varying effects across different traits and growth conditions.
Recently published studies report a high incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with IPF. Underlying, and usually under-diagnosed OSA in these patients may be a reason for impaired sleep quality and may consequently have a negative influence on their daily activities and overall quality of life. In addition, underlying OSA may have a negative influence on the already impaired IPF-related morbidity and mortality. The absence of any effective treatment for IPF so far indicates that the recognition and treatment of generally under-diagnosed OSA in IPF patients should be a primary goal. Therefore, our primary aim in this study was to assess the results of effective CPAP therapy in terms of sleep quality and overall quality of life in IPF patients with moderate to severe OSA. The investigators used generally accepted instruments to assess quality of sleep and overall life. In addition, the investigators tried to determine and overcome the reasons for poor CPAP compliance in these patients
Adipose tissue is recognized as an important endocrine organ in human. Not only it has function of storing unlimited energy but also its secretory roles is subject to intense research in recent years. Acylation stimulating protein(ASP), Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and lipocalin-2 (LCN2) are circulating adipokines elevated in diabetes. C5L2 is a G-protein-coupled receptor. activation of C5L2 by ASP, has been shown. Fatty acids may influence the expression of adipokines. Epidemiological studies showed that omega-3 reduce the development of insulin resistance and diabetes. Because fatty acids are the main component of adipose tissue, it is essential interest to clarify the biological effects of omega-3 on the expression of relevant adipokines.
PURPOSE: To obviate the occurrence of infection in spite of coating the surface of a body having a wound over a long period of time by incorporating an antimicrobial agent into the absorbent of body fluid absorbent articles having the absorber for absorbing the body fluid. CONSTITUTION: The antimicrobial agent is incorporated into the absorbent of the body fluid absorbent articles having the absorbent for absorbing the body fluid. A liquid permeable sheet may be stuck to one surface of the absorbent and further, a liquid impermeable sheet ma be stuck to the other surface. The antimicrobial agent may be incorporated into one or both of the liquid permeable sheet and the liquid impermeable sheet. The exuding liquid and excretion liquid from the inside of the body are absorbed on the surface of the body and the propagation of microorganism with the exudate and excretion as nutrients and the infiltration thereof into the body are prevented according to such body fluid absorbent articles. The possibility of the occurrence of the infection is eliminated even if the surface of the body having the wound is coated with these articles over a long period of time.

Cases of sudden death, QTc interval-prolongation, and Torsades de Pointes have been reported in patients receiving haloperidol (see ADVERSE REACTIONS). Higher than recommended doses of any formulation and intravenous administration of haloperidol appear to be associated with a higher risk of QTc interval-prolongation and Torsades de Pointes. Also, a QTc interval that exceeds 500 msec is associated with an increased risk of Torsades de Pointes. Although cases have been reported even in the absence of predisposing factors, particular caution is advised in treating patients with other QTc-prolonging conditions (including electrolyte imbalance [particularly hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia], drugs known to prolong QTc, underlying cardiac abnormalities, hypothyroidism, and familial long QT-syndrome). HALOPERIDOL DECANOATE INJECTION MUST NOT BE ADMINISTERED INTRAVENOUSLY. 

Tachycardia and hypotension (including orthostatic hypotension) have also been reported in occasional patients (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
