Though a significant decrease in its incidence over the last 70 years, gastric cancer remains a significant health problem worldwide. Despite the R0 resection and adjuvant chemotherapy, the prognosis for patients with locally advanced GC remains poor, with 5-year survival rate below 60%. Therefore, active strategy to improve survival outcome is ongoing in gastric cancer. Due to the nature of gastric surgery, postsurgical recovery can be avoided by the administration of systemic therapy and/or radiation prior to the surgical procedure. Furthermore, preoperative therapy has the theoretical advantage of treating an untouched tumor (lack of treatment-induced resistance), with intact vascularization and without fibrotic remodeling of the tumor bed due to surgical trauma. These considerations addressed clinical trials incorporating neoadjuvant treatment for gastric cancer.

Preoperative chemotherapy proved superiority to surgery alone in esophagogastric junction cancer Regarding the pattern of failure, locoregional recurrence after surgical resection has been reported 20-50% of cases. To improve local control and survival outcome, chemoradiotherapy in the neoadjuvant or preoperative setting has been widely applied. In recently published meta-analysis, preoperative chemoradiotherapy combined with surgery significantly reduced the 5-year death rate compared to surgery alone (OR 0.57, P=0.001). Ajani et al reported phase II preoperative chemoradiotherapy (5-fluorouracil/cisplatin and 45 Gy radiotherapy) for localized gastric cancer. Among the 34 stage II/III gastric cancer patients, 30% had pathologic complete response and 24% had pathologic partial response (\<10% residual carcinoma). Lowy et al also demonstrated 11% and 63% of complete, partial pathologic responses and preoperative chemoradiotherapy was safe and well tolerated. Based on those rationale, 28 clinical trials with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is ongoing for gastric cancer (clinicaltrial.gov) and the investigators' center is also conducting neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy trial for localized gastric cancer (NCT01269255).Currently, for further improved survival outcome, new cytotoxic compounds such as irinotecan and docetaxel have been combined with 5-FU/cisplatin. However, triplet regimen often burdened with higher toxicity and serious neutropenic infection. Therefore, future trials in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings need to incorporate new molecular agents which improve efficacy, but less toxicity.
Risk and crisis communication (RCC) is a current ethical issue subject to controversy, mainly due to the tension between individual liberty (a core component of fairness) and effectiveness. In this paper we propose a consistent definition of the RCC process in public health emergencies (PHERCC), which comprises six key elements: evidence, initiator, channel, publics, message, and feedback. Based on these elements and on a detailed analysis of their role in PHERCC, we present an ethical framework to help design, govern and evaluate PHERCC strategies. The framework aims to facilitate RCC, incorporating effectiveness, autonomy, and fairness. It comprises five operational ethical principles: openness, transparency, inclusivity, understandability, and privacy. The resulting matrix helps understanding the interplay between the PHERCC process and the principles of the framework. The paper includes suggestions and recommendations for the implementation of the PHERCC matrix.
PURPOSE: Breast cancer survivors face dual challenges: long-term sequelae of treatment and the risk of recurrent disease. Furthermore, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle can complicate both challenges. We aimed to assess the effect of a 12-week exercise-based weight-management program in overweight/obese breast cancer survivors.
METHODS: A two-arm, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted among 60 overweight/obese, stage 0-III breast cancer survivors. During the 12-week program, the intervention group received weekly information support, fortnightly exercise prescriptions, including aerobic and resistance exercises to perform at home, and one dietary instruction. The control group received information support about weight management and exercise. Weight, body composition, and physical fitness data were collected at baseline, postintervention, and the 3-month follow-up.
RESULTS: The intervention group showed significant improvements in body weight and all adiposity indices, including body mass index, waist circumference, and %body fat, in comparison with baseline (P < 0.001) and the control group (P < 0.05). Both groups showed no significant changes in fat-free mass during the 6-month period (P > 0.05). International Physical Activity Questionnaire scores and left grip strength increased significantly in the intervention group in comparison with the baseline (P < 0.01) and the control group (P < 0.05). Right grip strength, lower-body strength, and aerobic endurance showed no significant intergroup differences (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: A combination of exercise prescription and weight-loss interventions yielded clinically meaningful weight loss in overweight/obese breast cancer survivors. These findings may facilitate the incorporation of home-based exercise and weight management into breast cancer treatment and survivorship care.
BACKGROUND: Long-term sequelae of COVID-19 (long COVID) include muscle weakness, fatigue, breathing difficulties and sleep disturbance over weeks or months. Using UK longitudinal data, we assessed the relationship between long COVID and financial disruption.
METHODS: We estimated associations between long COVID (derived using self-reported length of COVID-19 symptoms) and measures of financial disruption (subjective financial well-being, new benefit claims, changes in household income) by analysing data from four longitudinal population studies, gathered during the first year of the pandemic. We employed modified Poisson regression in a pooled analysis of the four cohorts adjusting for a range of potential confounders, including pre-pandemic (pre-long COVID) factors.
RESULTS: Among the 20 112 observations across four population surveys, 13% reported having COVID-19 with symptoms that impeded their ability to function normally-10.7% had such symptoms for <4 weeks (acute COVID-19), 1.2% had such symptoms for 4-12 weeks (ongoing symptomatic COVID-19) and 0.6% had such symptoms for >12 weeks (post-COVID-19 syndrome). We found that post-COVID-19 syndrome was associated with worse subjective financial well-being (adjusted relative risk ratios (aRRRs)=1.57, 95% CI=1.25, 1.96) and new benefit claims (aRRR=1.79, CI=1.27, 2.53). Associations were broadly similar across sexes and education levels. These results were not meaningfully altered when scaled to represent the population by age.
CONCLUSIONS: Long COVID was associated with financial disruption in the UK. If our findings reflect causal effects, extending employment protection and financial support to people with long COVID may be warranted.

Children randomly assigned to the placebo iron \& vitamin A control group will receive weekly three placebo tablets that are identical to the iron tablets (blinded) for the whole duration of the study (9 months of the school year). They will also receive placebo vitamin A at baseline and at mid-line (after 4.5 months).
BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by immune-mediated, chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. The occurrence of IBD is driven by the complex interactions of multiple factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of IAA in colitis.
METHOD: C57/BL6 mice were administered 2.5% DSS in drinking water to induce colitis. IAA, Bifidobacterium pseudolongum, and R-equol were administered by oral gavage and fed a regular diet. The Disease Activity Index was used to evaluate disease activity. The degree of colitis was evaluated using histological morphology, RNA, and inflammation marker proteins. CD45+ CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg and CD45+ CD4+ IL17A+ Th17 cells were detected by flow cytometry. Analysis of the gut microbiome in fecal content was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Gut microbiome metabolites were analyzed using Untargeted Metabolomics.
RESULT: In our study, we found IAA alleviates DSS-induced colitis in mice by altering the gut microbiome. The abundance of Bifidobacterium pseudolongum significantly increased in the IAA treatment group. Bifidobacterium pseudolongum ATCC25526 alleviates DSS-induced colitis by increasing the ratio of Foxp3+T cells in colon tissue. R-equol alleviates DSS-induced colitis by increasing Foxp3+T cells, which may be the mechanism by which ATCC25526 alleviates DSS-induced colitis in mice.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that IAA, an indole derivative, alleviates DSS-induced colitis by promoting the production of Equol from Bifidobacterium pseudolongum, which provides new insights into gut homeostasis regulated by indole metabolites other than the classic AHR pathway.
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a Picornaviridae RNA virus that causes vesicular disease (VD) and transitory neonatal losses in pigs. The major ways SVA is spread are by oral, nasal, and feces. Vertical transmission of SVA was investigated during a VD epidemic in a farrow-to-finish herd in Brazil. Vesicular lesions were observed on sows before farrowing and on piglets within 24 h of birth. Analyses included RT-qPCR, viral isolation, sequencing, and virus-neutralization assays on serum, vesicular fluid, colostrum, and milk. Five out of ten sows were viremic before farrowing, and 46.7% of tested piglets had high viral loads in the first 24 h after birth. Infectious virus was detected in colostrum and milk from one postnatal sow. Despite high levels of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) in piglet serum, colostrum, and milk, piglets were not protected from viremia and clinical illness. These findings support the vertical and congenital transmission of SVA.
PURPOSE: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in younger patients remains controversial due to concerns regarding long-term implant survival and potential complications. This study aimed to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes, complications, differences in complication and revision rates by bearing surfaces, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves for THA in patients under 20 years old.
METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted for 65 patients (78 hips) who underwent THA between 1991 and 2018. Their mean age was 18.9 years. Their clinical outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS). Radiological outcomes were evaluated based on the presence of loosening, osteolysis, and heterotopic ossification. Complications such as dislocation, periprosthetic fractures, and infections were assessed. The mean follow-up period was 13.2 years (range, 5.0-31.2 years).
RESULTS: The mean HHS improved from 44.6 to 90.1. There were two cases of dislocation. However, no periprosthetic fracture, deep infection, or ceramic component fracture was noted. There were 19 revisions of implants. Eighteen of 19 hips were operated with hard-on-soft bearings in the index surgery (p < 0.01). The 23-year survivorship was 97.8% for THA using ceramic-on-ceramic bearings, while the 31-year survivorship was 36.7% using hard-on-soft bearings.
CONCLUSION: THA in patients under 20 years old yielded promising clinical and radiological outcomes, although polyethylene-bearing-related concerns persisted. Previously operated patients with hard-on-soft bearing should be meticulously examined during the follow-up. As ceramic-on-ceramic bearing showed excellent survivorship in this particular cohort, we recommend the use of this articulation as the bearing of choice.

In the Mio-Study, the investigators are developing a training app at the interface between neuropsychology and sports science - the Mio-training. The aim of the Mio-training is to strengthen the cognitive and motor development of adolescents after cancer in the long-term. The App contains a combination of cognitive and physical training tasks and metacognitive questions to promote knowledge and awareness of one's own thinking. In order to counteract the shortage of skilled workers and the increasing specialization of individual specialist areas, solutions are needed that can be implemented without a lot of staff. From today's perspective, there are hardly any trainings for adolescents that show long-term effects on cognitive and motor development and can also be transferred to non-trained tasks in school and everyday life.

The investigators are testing the effectiveness of the Mio-training in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) and expect a strengthening of metacognition and core cognitive functions (i.e. executive functions). The Mio-Study will provide information about the role of metacognition in cognitive and physical performance and, ideally, provide evidence for a novel, interdisciplinary rehabilitation strategy for adolescents after cancer.
The present invention relates generally to healthcare management methods and systems, and more particularly to home care logistics and quality assurance tracking systems and methods. The system and method may facilitate accountability for caregiver access, care and treatment of patients. Upon receiving a request for patient service, the system establishes an acceptable range for compliance. The acceptable range includes a service location, a plurality of locations different from the service location, a service time, and a time period including the service time. The system identifies compliance or non-compliance with the service request by comparing the acceptable range to location data and time data from the caregiver and patient computer devices. This data may also be used to establish a new temporary acceptance range. After determining compliance, the system may automatically adjust the calculation request to match the service request and authorize payment.

INTRODUCTION: Overweight and obesity constitute a major concern among patients treated at forensic psychiatric departments. The present clinical feasibility study aimed at investigating the extent to which glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) treatment with once-daily liraglutide 3.0 mg could be a feasible pharmacological treatment of these conditions in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders hospitalised in forensic psychiatry.
METHODS: The 26-week, open-label feasibility study included participants aged 18-65 years diagnosed with a severe mental illness and hospitalised at a forensic psychiatric department. At the time of inclusion, all participants fulfilled the indication for using liraglutide as a treatment for overweight and obesity. Participants' baseline examinations were followed by a 26-week treatment period with liraglutide injection once daily according to a fixed uptitration schedule of liraglutide, with a target dose of 3.0 mg. Each participant attended seven visits to evaluate the efficacy and adverse events. The primary endpoint was the number of "completers", with adherence defined as >80% injections obtained in the period, weeks 12-26. Determining whether liraglutide is a feasible treatment was pre-defined to a minimum of 75% completers.
RESULTS: Twenty-four participants were included in the study. Sex, male = 19 (79.2%). Mean age: 42.3 [25th and 75th percentiles: 39.1; 48.4] years; body mass index (BMI): 35.7 [31.7; 37.5] kg/m2; glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c): 37 [35; 39] mmol/mol. Eleven out of 24 participants (46%) completed the study. For the completers, the median net body weight loss after 26 weeks of participation was -11.4 kg [-15.4; -5.9]. The net difference in HbA1C and BMI was -2.0 mmol/mol [-4; -1] and -3.6 kg/m2 [-4.7; -1.8], respectively. The weight change and reduction in HbA1c and BMI were all statistically significant from baseline.
CONCLUSION: The study did not confirm our hypothesis that liraglutide is a feasible treatment for a minimum of 75% of the patients initiating treatment with liraglutide while hospitalised in a forensic psychiatric department. The high dropout rate may be due to the non-naturalistic setting of the clinical trial. For the proportion of patients compliant with the medication, liraglutide 3.0 mg was an efficient treatment for overweight.
Lifetime maximally tolerated oral dose studies in mice (up to 360 mg/kg/day, about twice the maximum recommended human oral daily dose [MRHD] on a mg/m² basis) and rats (up to 270 mg/kg/day, about three times the MRHD on a mg/m² basis) provided no evidence of a carcinogenic potential for propafenone HCl. 

Propafenone HCl tested negative for mutagenicity in the Ames (salmonella) test and in the in vivo mouse dominant lethal test. It tested negative for clastogenicity in the human lymphocyte chromosome aberration assay in vitro and in rat and Chinese hamster micronucleus tests, and other in vivo tests for chromosomal aberrations in rat bone marrow and Chinese hamster bone marrow and spermatogonia.

Propafenone HCl, administered intravenously to rabbits, dogs, and monkeys, has been shown to decrease spermatogenesis. These effects were reversible, were not found following oral dosing of propafenone HCl, were seen at lethal or near lethal dose levels and were not seen in rats treated either orally or intravenously (see PRECAUTIONS, Impaired Spermatogenesis). Treatment of male rabbits for 10 weeks prior to mating at an oral dose of 120 mg/kg/day (about 2.4 times the MRHD on a mg/m² basis) or an intravenous dose of 3.5 mg/kg/day (a spermatogenesis-impairing dose) did not result in evidence of impaired fertility. Nor was there evidence of impaired fertility when propafenone HCl was administered orally to male and female rats at dose levels up to 270 mg/kg/day (about 3 times the MRHD on a mg/m² basis).
