BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the impact of nursing interventions on the rehabilitation outcomes of patients after lumbar spine surgery and to provide effective references for future postoperative care for patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.
METHODS: The study included two groups: a control group receiving routine care and an observation group receiving additional comprehensive nursing care. The comprehensive care encompassed postoperative rehabilitation, pain, psychological, dietary management, and discharge planning. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey, self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) were used to assess physiological and psychological recovery. Blood albumin, haemoglobin, neutrophil counts, white blood cell counts, red blood cell counts, inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ) were measured, and the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions was also recorded.
RESULTS: Patients in the observation group exhibited significantly improved VAS, ODI, SF-36, SDS and SAS scores assessments post-intervention compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, levels of IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ were more favorable in the observation group post-intervention (P < 0.05), indicating a reduction in inflammatory response. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the groups (P > 0.05), suggesting that the comprehensive nursing interventions did not increase the risk of adverse effects.
CONCLUSION: Comprehensive nursing interventions have a significant impact on the postoperative recovery outcomes of patients with LSS, alleviating pain, reducing inflammation levels, and improving the overall quality of patient recovery without increasing the patient burden. Therefore, in clinical practice, it is important to focus on comprehensive nursing interventions for patients with LSS to improve their recovery outcomes and quality of life.
background: Distal hypospadias repair is one of most frequent surgical interventions in pediatric age group. Successful hypospadias repair should provide a functional penis and good cosmesis. Mathieu urethroplasty is one of the most popular techniques used. Authors aimed at performing a modification that expanded the scope of indications and improved final cosmetic results of classic Mathieu urethroplasty.

Methods: forty-three patients with distal hypospadias were operated by hybrid Mathieu urethroplasty (HMU) during the period from March 2012 to December 2020. Creation of the peri meatal based flap was performed as Mathieu disrobed. This was followed by developing of glanular wings. The additional step was deep incision of the urethral plate. Then, urethroplasty was performed. The catheter was left in place for one to three days.

Studies have examined the effect of stress on dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome. For this reason in this study, it was aimed to determine the impact of stress on menstrual symptoms (adverse effects, abdominal pain, and coping methods). This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 351 university students in Turkey by sharing the link to the questionnaire on online social media platforms. It was determined that those whose income was equal to their expenses had lower menstrual symptoms, having a chronic disease and smoking increased menstrual symptoms (F = 3.19/p = .04; t = 2.33/p = .02; t = 3.96/p = .00). The study identified that there was a positive low-level correlation (r: 0.25, p < .01) between the Perceived Stress Scale-14 and the Menstruation Symptom Questionnaire, and the 6.5 percent change in menstrual symptoms was explained by perceived stress. In the study, it is thought that stress affects the experience of menstrual symptoms. Therefore, it is believed that by providing training on stress and effective coping methods by midwives and nurses, menstrual symptoms can be reduced, contributing to women's health. For future studies, it is recommended to examine the effects of stress coping methods training on stress and menstrual complaints.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of whole grain Avena sativa and Hordeum vulgare L., or their isolated fractions, on immune and inflammatory functions, as well as their influence on gut microbiota. A structured literature search was undertaken in line with PRISMA guidelines. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of oats or barley consumption in adults and reported ≥ 1 of the following: C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-2, IL-8, IL-18, lipopolysacharide binding protein (LBP) or gut microbiota-related outcomes, were included.
RECENT FINDINGS: A total of 16 RCTs were included, among which 6 studies recruited metabolically at-risk population, including individuals with overweight and obesity, metabolic syndrome or hypercholesterolemia. Additionally, 3 trials involved young healthy population, 5 trials targeted older individuals (aged over 50 years), and 2 studies encompassed populations with other disease states. A total of 1091 individuals were included in the evaluation of short-term (up to 14 days) and long-term (beyond 14 days, up to 90 days) supplementation with oats or barley-based products. 9 studies measured inflammatory biomarkers and 5 of them reported significant reductions, specifically in long-term studies. Notably, no evidence of anti-inflammatory benefits was found in healthy individuals, whereas studies involving metabolically at-risk populations showed promising reductions in inflammation. 13 studies measured the impact on gut microbiota, and collectively suggest that oats and barley food products can influence the composition of gut microbiota, associated in some cases with metabolic improvements. Oats and barley consumption may confer anti-inflammatory effects in metabolically at-risk populations and influence gut microbiota outcomes. However, no anti-inflammatory benefits were observed in healthy individuals. Results from this systematic review suggests caution in interpreting findings due to limited trials and variations in interventions and health conditions.
Ageing is an inevitable and multifaceted biological process that impacts a wide range of cellular and molecular mechanisms, leading to the development of various diseases, such as liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis progresses to cirrhosis, which is an advanced form due to high amounts of extracellular matrix and restoration of normal liver structure with failure to repair damaged tissue and cells, marking the end of liver function and total liver failure, ultimately death. The most important factors are reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cellular senescence. Oxidative stress is defined as an impairment by ROS, which are by-products of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and other key molecular pathways that induce cell damage and can activate cellular senescence pathways. Cellular senescence is characterized by pro-inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and proteases secreted by senescent cells, collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The presence of senescent cells, which disrupt tissue architecture and function and increase senescent cell production in liver tissues, contributes to fibrogenesis. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are activated in response to chronic liver injury, oxidative stress, and senescence signals that drive excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathogenic role of ROS and cellular senescence in the aging liver and their contribution to fibrosis.
PURPOSE:To obtain a nourishing food, having a high nutritive value, useful for promoting physical strength and effective for rejuvenating the hair, skin, eyes, etc., by mixing chlorophyll powders of Japanese radish leaves with lettuce leaves prepared separately after passing through harshness removing and other processing steps. CONSTITUTION:Leaves of Japanese radish are washed with water and pressed juice is boiled while heating to float chlorophyll, which is separated. Cold water is added thereto and the resultant mixture is agitated to remove surface foams. The resultant water is allowed to stand to precipitate the chlorophyll. Floated impurities are discarded and the taken out chlorophyll is drained and formed into a plate, solidified in a refrigerator, and crushed into powder. Lettuce leaves are washed with water, to extract chlorophyll from the pressed juice in the same manner as described above. The resultant chlorophyll is then solidified and crushed into powder. The resultant chlorophylls obtained from the Japanese radish leaves and lettuce leaves are mixed at about 60:27 weight ratio.
Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery every other day for 3 or 5 fractions (depending on the size tumor and proximity to the chest wall). Within 4-6 weeks after completion of stereotactic radiosurgery, patients undergo wedge resection.
Early diagnosis and treatment of late-onset sepsis (LOS) is crucial for survival, but challenging. Intestinal microbiota and metabolome alterations precede the clinical onset of LOS, and the preterm gut is considered an important source of bacterial pathogens. Fecal volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formed by physiologic and pathophysiologic metabolic processes in the preterm gut, reflect a complex interplay between the human host, the environment, and microbiota. Disease-associated fecal VOCs can be detected with an array of devices with various potential for the development of a point-of-care test (POCT) for preclinical LOS detection. While characteristic VOCs for common LOS pathogens have been described, their VOC profiles often overlap with other pathogens due to similarities in metabolic pathways, hampering the construction of species-specific profiles. Clinical studies have, however, successfully discriminated LOS patients from healthy individuals using fecal VOC analysis with the highest predictive value for Gram-negative pathogens. This review discusses the current advancements in the development of a non-invasive fecal VOC-based POCT for early diagnosis of LOS, which may potentially provide opportunities for early intervention and targeted treatment and could improve clinical neonatal outcomes. Identification of confounding variables impacting VOC synthesis, selection of an optimal detection device, and development of standardized sampling protocols will allow for the development of a novel POCT in the near future.
Study (ING112961) is a Phase IIb, multicentre, open-label, single arm, two cohorts, pilot study to assess the antiviral activity of GSK1349572 containing regimen in HIV-1 infected ART-experienced adults with raltegravir (RAL) resistance. The study will include approximately 50 ART-experienced subjects with either current or past virologic failure to RAL. All subjects must harbour isolates with RAL resistance mutations at Screening. Subjects should also have documented genotypic and/or phenotypic resistance to at least one compound from each of three or more of the approved classes of ART (including integrase inhibitors \[INIs\]). Subjects with current RAL virologic failure will substitute RAL with GSK1349572 50mg once daily and continue the remaining components of their failing regimen through Day 10. Subjects with historical RAL virologic failure will add GSK1349572 50mg once daily to their failing regimen through Day 10. On Day 11 all subjects will continue GSK1349572 and optimize their background therapy. Antiviral activity, safety and tolerability of GSK1349572 will be evaluated at Day 11 and over time through at least Week 24.

The method for preparing the dosage form of short-term acting insulin comprises transpeptidation of porcine insulin with the excess of di-tret-butyl ester of threonine in aqueous-organic medium in the presence of trypsin for obtaining the ether of the human insulin. The ether of insulin obtained in such a way is further purified chromatographically. The protection residues are then removed, and insulin is crystallized, dissolved in the diluted acid, and mixed with the preserving agent, isotonic agent, and buffering agents. Transpeptidation is performed in 100-500-molar excess of di-tret-butyl ester of threonine and 1 : (300-1000) mass ration of trypsin to porcine insulin. The reaction mixture is diluted 2-3-fold with the water. The insulin ether and insulin obtained upon the direct crystallization are purified using high-performance liquid chromatography. The insulin crystals are dissolved in the diluted acid step-by-step. First, the fine dispersion of insulin crystals in the water obtained and then the diluted acid is added.
A moldable, absorbable dressing and method for the prevention of alveolar osteitis following the extraction of a tooth or removal of a cyst. The dressing is primarily plaster of Paris with approximately 5 wt. % of tetracycline and 0.01 wt. % of hydrocortisone added to reduce inflammation at the wound site. The plaster of Paris may include 0.85 wt. % K 2  SO 4  to facilitate solidification in the body. The method includes mixing the plaster of Paris with water to form a semi-liquid paste of plaster of Paris. A plug of absorbable, gelatin sponge is then cut out slightly larger than the cavity left by the tooth extraction or cyst removal. The sponge is immersed into the semi-liquid plaster to absorb as much of the plaster as possible. The impregnated sponge is then compressed slightly and placed in the cavity. The gelatin sponge is somewhat resilient which aids in filling the socket as it expands. A small amount of plaster is added to the exposed upper surface of the sponge to seal its surface. The tissue above the plaster impregnated sponge are then sutured together to enclose it completely, thus preventing any food or debris from entering the wound site. As the cavity heals, the dressing is absorbed and permits regeneration of bone in the socket.
In the intervention group, all employees at risk receive a (employee-unique) link to an online health screening questionnaire by email. Dependent upon their answers, 20% of the employees (i.e. the 20% of the employees that mostly need contact with the OP) are referred to the occupational physician for a discussion of the results. The OP then gives medical advice, refers to a healthcare provider (e.g. general practitioner or specialist), or books a (follow-up) appointment with an occupational health specialist (OP, occupational nurse, etc.).
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of literature on the length of the terminal ileum to be resected in right hemicolectomy for colon cancer. Therefore, we aimed to determine the mean ileal loop length and the effect of this variation on postoperative complications and long-term oncological outcomes in patients who underwent right hemicolectomy.
METHODS: Right hemicolectomy surgeries performed for colon cancer in a tertiary care hospital between January 2011 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed from a prospective database. Two patient groups were established based on the mean length of the resected ileum above and below 7 cm. The two groups were compared for clinicopathological data, postoperative complications, mortality, long-term overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The factors contributing to OS and DFS were analyzed.
RESULTS: The study included 217 patients. Body mass index (BMI) values were significantly higher in the ileum resection length > 7 cm group (p = 0.009). Pathological N stage, tumor diameter, and number of metastatic lymph nodes were significantly higher in the ileum resection length > 7 cm group (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, and p = 0.026, respectively). There was no significant difference for postoperative complication and mortality rates between the two groups. The mean follow-up period was 61.2 months (2-120) in all patients. The total number of deaths was 29 (11.7%) while the 60-month OS was 83.5% and 50-month DFS was 81.8%. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of OS and DFS rates (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Excessive resection of the distal ileum in right hemicolectomy does not provide any benefit in terms of prognosis and complications.The ileum resection length and values close to it in our study appear to be sufficient.
Reactions to Marcaine® 0.5% with epinephrine 1:200,000 injection are characteristic of those associated with other amide-type local anesthetics. A major cause of adverse reactions to this group of drugs is excessive plasma levels, which may be due to overdosage, inadvertent intravascular injection or slow metabolic degradation.

Excessive plasma levels of the amide-type local anesthetics cause systemic reactions involving the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. The central nervous system effects are characterized by excitation or depression. The first manifestation may be nervousness, dizziness, blurred vision, or tremors, followed by drowsiness, convulsions, unconsciousness, and possibly respiratory arrest. Since excitement may be transient or absent, the first manifestation may be drowsiness, sometimes merging into unconsciousness and respiratory arrest. Other central nervous system effects may be nausea, vomiting, chills, constriction of the pupils, or tinnitus. The cardiovascular manifestations of excessive plasma levels may include depression of the myocardium, blood pressure changes (usually hypotension), and cardiac arrest. Allergic reactions, which may be due to hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy, or diminished tolerance, are characterized by cutaneous lesions (e.g., urticaria), edema, and other manifestations of allergy. Detection of sensitivity by skin testing is of doubtful value. Transient facial swelling and puffiness may occur near the injection site.
Participants in acupuncture group will receive treatment at bilateral Baxie (EX-UE9), bilateral Houxi (SI3), bilateral Waiguan (TE5) and Ashi points. The acupuncture treatment will last 30mins for each session, 3 sessions a week (ideally every other day) for a succession of 4 weeks.
Despite some reported benefits, there is a low quality of evidence for resistance training (RT) improving metabolic health of individuals with overweight or obesity. We evaluated the impact of RT on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical performance, lipid-lipoprotein profile, inflammation, and glucose-insulin homeostasis in 51 postmenopausal women versus 29 controls matched for age, obesity, and physical activity. Exercised women were further subdivided for comparison of RT effects into those presenting metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and those with metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO) classified according to Karelis and Rabasa-Lhoret or an approach based on adipose tissue secretory dysfunction using the plasma adiponectin(A)/leptin (L) ratio. Participants followed a 4-month weekly RT program targeting major muscle groups (3 × 10 repetitions at 80% one repetition maximum (1-RM)). Percent fat marginally decreased and lean body mass increased (0.01 < p < 0.05) while CRF and muscular strength improved in all women, after RT (effect size (ES): 0.11-1.21 (trivial to large effects), p ˂ 0.01). Fasting plasma triacylglycerol and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels slightly increased and decreased, respectively, in participants with MHO using the A/L ratio approach (ES: -0.47 to 1.07 (small to large effects), p ˂ 0.05). Circulating interleukin-6 soluble receptor decreased in both groups and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-1/soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-2 in women with MUHO only, irrespective of definition (ES: -0.42 to -0.84 (small to large effects), p ˂ 0.05). Glucose-insulin homeostasis was unchanged regardless of group or definition. RT improved physical performance and body composition but had a lesser impact on cardiometabolic risk in women with obesity, irrespective of their metabolic phenotype.
Hyperproteic pasta (with added gluten and albumin). 12 healthy subjects, after a 10 to 12-hour overnight fasting period, will assume "fettuccine" pasta with added gluten and albumin. The serving size is calculated to contain 50 g of carbohydrates according to nutritional analysis of the product.
Background: Patients with peripheral artery disease face high amputation and mortality risk. When assessing vascular outcomes, consideration of mortality as a competing risk is not routine. We hypothesize standard time-to-event methods will overestimate major amputation risk in chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and non-CLTI. Methods: Patients undergoing peripheral vascular intervention from 2017 to 2018 were abstracted from the Vascular Quality Initiative registry and stratified by mean age (⩾ 75 vs < 75 years). Mortality and amputation data were obtained from Medicare claims. The 2-year cumulative incidence function (CIF) and risk of major amputation from standard time-to-event analysis (1 - Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression) were compared with competing risk analysis (Aalen-Johansen and Fine-Gray model) in CLTI and non-CLTI. Results: A total of 7273 patients with CLTI and 5095 with non-CLTI were included. At 2-year follow up, 13.1% of patients underwent major amputation and 33.4% died without major amputation in the CLTI cohort; 1.3% and 10.7%, respectively, in the non-CLTI cohort. In CLTI, standard time-to-event analysis overestimated the 2-year CIF of major amputation by 20.5% and 13.7%, respectively, in patients ⩾ 75 and < 75 years old compared with competing risk analysis. The standard Cox regression overestimated adjusted 2-year major amputation risk in patients ⩾ 75 versus < 75 years old by 7.0%. In non-CLTI, the CIF was overestimated by 7.1% in patients ⩾ 75 years, and the adjusted risk was overestimated by 5.1% compared with competing risk analysis. Conclusions: Standard time-to-event analysis overestimates the incidence and risk of major amputation, especially in CLTI. Competing risk analyses are alternative approaches to estimate accurately amputation risk in vascular outcomes research.
