AIMS: The risk factors for recurrent instability (RI) following a primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation (PTASD) remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine the rate of RI in a large cohort of patients managed nonoperatively after PTASD and to develop a clinical prediction model.
METHODS: A total of 1,293 patients with PTASD managed nonoperatively were identified from a trauma database (mean age 23.3 years (15 to 35); 14.3% female). We assessed the prevalence of RI, and used multivariate regression modelling to evaluate which demographic- and injury-related factors were independently predictive for its occurrence.
RESULTS: The overall rate of RI at a mean follow-up of 34.4 months (SD 47.0) was 62.8% (n = 812), with 81.0% (n = 658) experiencing their first recurrence within two years of PTASD. The median time for recurrence was 9.8 months (IQR 3.9 to 19.4). Independent predictors increasing risk of RI included male sex (p < 0.001), younger age at PTASD (p < 0.001), participation in contact sport (p < 0.001), and the presence of a bony Bankart (BB) lesion (p = 0.028). Greater tuberosity fracture (GTF) was protective (p < 0.001). However, the discriminative ability of the resulting predictive model for two-year risk of RI was poor (area under the curve (AUC) 0.672). A subset analysis excluding identifiable radiological predictors of BB and GTF worsened the predictive ability (AUC 0.646).
CONCLUSION: This study clarifies the prevalence and risk factors for RI following PTASD in a large, unselected patient cohort. Although these data permitted the development of a predictive tool for RI, its discriminative ability was poor. Predicting RI remains challenging, and as-yet-undetermined risk factors may be important in determining the risk.
Participants with advanced mCRPC treated with 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium, who must have received at least 1 but no more than 2 prior taxane-based chemotherapy regimens. Prior radiopharmaceutical treatment is not permitted.
PURPOSE:To suppress bitterness and sweetness eliminating action and to improve taste of extract obtained from leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, having specific actions of leaves, by subjecting the extract to removal treatment of bitter and sweet components. CONSTITUTION:Raw leaves of Gymnema sylvestre belonging to the family Asclepiadaceae native in India are air-dried at normal temperature for about 7 days and the dried leaves are fed to a roaster and roasted to give coarse tea. The coarse tea is immersed in hot water at about 90 deg.C to prepare a tea solution, which is concentrated. Then the concentration solution is freeze-dried to give an extract. Then the extract is subjected to reversed phase column for high performance liquid chromatography to partially collect a fraction component eluted with about 40% methanol. Then the fraction is freeze-dried to give a low-calorie food additive. Consequently, the additive has both inhibitory action on rise of blood sugar value and cariostatic action and will not change the taste of foods and drinks because of weak action on elimination of sweetness and low bitterness. Therefore, the additive is added to a food such as glucide or starch to give great welfare.
OBJECTIVE: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) may develop, especially among girls, during the adolescence period. The aim of this study was to study if information and advice in a school setting could prevent development of TMD symptoms and headaches during the early teenage period.
METHODS: Thirteen-year-old girls, at 19 upper elementary schools were invited to participate in a study with structured information about the jaw system, TMD symptoms and risk factors, as well as advice how to manage risk factor and TMD. Six hundred and fifty-one girls enrolled, of which 507 girls were followed for 2-2.5 years. Half received information on three occasions (cases), and the other half served as controls. Included in the analysis of incidence of TMD symptoms were those without frequently occurring TMD symptoms (not including headaches) at baseline (n = 396) and included in the analysis of incidence of headaches were those without frequent headaches at baseline (n = 297).
RESULT: The 2-year incidence of TMD symptoms was significantly lower in the information cohort (19%) compared to the controls (28%) (p = .03). The 2-year incidence of headaches was lower among those who were allocated to information (30%) compared to controls (40%), but the difference was not statistically significant (p = .099). Cases who had headaches at baseline reported a significantly lower prevalence at follow-up compared to controls (p = .03).
CONCLUSION: Standardized information in school settings can prevent development of TMD symptoms and headaches among young girls.
BACKGROUND: Irinotecan is a chemotherapeutic drug widely used to treat solid tumors. However, its effectiveness is limited by the severely delayed onset of diarrhea. This study aimed to confirm the protective effects of the non-systemic oral antibiotic rifaximin on irinotecan-induced mucositis in mice model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six to eight week-old BALB/c mice were treated with saline, irinotecan (50 mg/kg, i.p. once daily), rifaximin (50 mg/kg, p.o. twice daily), or irinotecan + rifaximin for 9 consecutive days. Signs of diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and body weight were monitored daily. Intestinal tissues were harvested for histopathological analysis and quantitative PCR. SN38 and SN38G concentration in intestine were detected using LC-MS analysis. Intestinal bacteria β-glucuronidase (BGUS) activity was detected using mouse feces. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing to investigate the gut microbiota composition. Gut permeability was tested in vivo by measuring the fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran intensity in the serum.
RESULTS: Rifaximin reduced the frequency of delayed diarrhea and attenuated the severity of diarrhea caused by irinotecan in mice. Rifaximin significantly inhibited SN38 exposure in intestine and irinotecan-induced increase in BGUS activity. Rifaximin alleviated intestinal mucosal inflammation, prevented intestinal epithelial damage caused by irinotecan, and maintained gut barrier function. Moreover, the consecutive use of rifaximin did not cause a disorder in gut microbiota and reduced irinotecan-induced Firmicutes expansion. More importantly, rifaximin inhibited the expansion of some microbiota (such as Blautia, Eggerthella, and f_Enterobacteriaceae) and promoted an increase in beneficial microbiota (such as Lactobacillus intestinalis, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group, and f_Oscillospiraceae).
CONCLUSIONS: Preventive use of rifaximin is a feasible method to protect against irinotecan-induced diarrhea.
Methamphetamine (MA) addiction has become a crucial public health concern because of its adverse consequences to individuals and the society. Manual or auricular acupuncture have been applied in opioid dependence treatment for a long time. Electroacupuncture may also alleviate the symptoms of MA addiction such as psychosis, anxiety, and depression during abstinence. However, several comorbidities are associated with MA use, such as blood-borne infections, decreased the willingness of physicians to perform. The advantages of laser acupuncture (LA) include its safety, painlessness, limited time use, and higher acceptability, making it suitable for treatment of drug users. To investigate the clinical efficacy of laser acupuncture combined with group cognitive behavioral therapy for MA addiction treatment. MA users who participated in group cognitive behavioral therapy and met the inclusion criteria were referred from psychiatrists to participate. The participants received laser acupuncture treatment once a week for 2 months (total eight treatments) on selected acupoints (PC6, HT7, LI4, ST36, SP6, and LR3). Laboratory assessment included urinalysis for MA and liver function tests aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and γ-glutamyltransferase (AST, ALT, and r-GT), whereas the objective assessment included visual analog scale (VAS) for MA craving and refusal and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaires. All data were collected before and at 1 and 2 months after treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy completion rate and rate of relapse to MA use were also determined.
Tigecycline was evaluated in adults for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) in two randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multinational, multicenter studies (Studies 1 and 2). These studies compared tigecycline (100 mg intravenous initial dose followed by 50 mg every 12 hours) with levofloxacin (500 mg intravenous every 12 or 24 hours). In Study 1, after at least 3 days of intravenous therapy, a switch to oral levofloxacin (500 mg daily) was permitted for both treatment arms. Total therapy was 7 to 14 days. Patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia who required hospitalization and intravenous therapy were enrolled in the studies. The primary efficacy endpoint was the clinical response at the test of cure (TOC) visit in the co-primary populations of the clinically evaluable (CE) and clinical modified intent-to-treat (c-mITT) patients. See Table 8. Clinical cure rates at TOC by pathogen in the microbiologically evaluable patients are presented in Table 9. 

To further evaluate the treatment effect of tigecycline, a post-hoc analysis was conducted in CABP patients with a higher risk of mortality, for whom the treatment effect of antibacterial drugs is supported by historical evidence. The higher-risk group included CABP patients from the two studies with any of the following factors: 

  * Age ≥50 years 
  * PSI score ≥3 
  * Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia 



The results of this analysis are shown in Table 10. Age ≥50 was the most common risk factor in the higher-risk group.

Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure representing an ideal perioperative course, which has been utilized to assess the quality of care in oesophagogastric cancer (OGC) surgery. We aim to determine TO rates among OGC patients in a UK tertiary center, investigate predictors of TO attainment, and evaluate the relationship between TO and survival. A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected departmental database between 2006 and 2021 was conducted. Patients that underwent radical OGC surgery with curative intent were included. TO attainment required margin-negative resection, adequate lymphadenectomy, uncomplicated postoperative course, and no hospital readmission. Predictors of TO were investigated using multivariable logistic regression. The association between TO and survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression modeling. In sum, 667 esophageal cancer and 312 gastric cancer patients were included. TO was achieved in 35.1% of esophagectomy patients and 51.3% of gastrectomy patients. Several factors were independently associated with a low likelihood of TO attainment: T3 stage (odds ratio (OR): 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.22-0.79], p = 0.008) and T4 stage (OR:0.26, 95% CI [0.08-0.72], p = 0.013) in the esophagectomy cohort and high BMI (OR:0.93, 95% CI [0.88-0.98], p = 0.011) in the gastrectomy cohort. TO attainment was associated with greater overall survival and recurrence-free survival in esophagectomy and gastrectomy cohorts. TO is a relevant quality metric that can be utilized to compare surgical performance between centers and investigate patients at risk of TO failure. Enhancement of preoperative care measures can improve TO rates and, subsequently, long-term survival.
miR-146b-5p has been studied to be highly expressed in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but whether it is involved in regulating the process of BPD in premature infants remains unclear. This study was to explore miR-146b-5p in premature BPD and reveal its molecular mechanism. BPD mouse model and high-oxygen MLE-12 cell model were established. HE staining, TUNEL staining, and IF staining were conducted to evaluate the pathological injury and protein expression in mouse lung tissue. LDH assay, MMT assay, and flow cytometry were achieved to evaluate cytotoxicity, cell viability, and apoptosis. ELISA and immunoblotting were performed to evaluate inflammatory cytokines and Wnt pathway proteins in lung tissues and cells. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay were needed to examine the targeting relationship between miR-146b-5p and KDM6B. miR-146b-5p was abundantly expressed in BPD and KDM6B was lowly expressed. miR-146b-5p knockdown improved hyperoxia-induced lung epithelial cell inflammation and apoptosis in both models. miR-146b-6p upregulation or KDM6B downregulation aggravated hyperoxia-induced inflammation and apoptosis of lung epithelial cells. This effect of overexpressing miR-146b-5p was rescued by forcing KDM6B. MiR-146b-5p activated Wnt signaling by regulating KDM6B. miR-146b-5p activates the Wnt pathway through targeted regulation of KDM6B, thereby aggravating hyperoxia-induced inflammation and apoptosis of lung epithelial cells.
This is a phase Ib trial of an autophagosome vaccine (DPV-001) with or without anti-GITR (INCAGN01876), combined with subsequent anti-PD1 (INCMGA00012), in patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. Eligible patients will be registered and assigned to one of two treatment arms. Subjects in Arm 1 will receive combination therapy with DPV-001 with delayed anti-PD-1, and subjects in Arm 2 will receive DPV-001 and anti-GITR with delayed anti-PD-1 (triplet therapy). Mandatory biopsy will occur at week 2. Initial restaging CT and mandatory biopsy will occur at 8 weeks, followed by confirmatory CT at 12 weeks. Subsequent restaging CT will be performed at week 24 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Starting at week 22, dosing of DPV-101 will switch to a q4wk schedule, while the schedule of anti-GITR and anti-PD1 will remain unchanged.
Participants will receive real catgut implantation at acupoints plus lifestyle modification. Participants will receive catgut implantation treatment every two weeks to fulfill a 8-session treatment course.When the acupoints and surrounding skin are disinfected, an absorbable surgical suture of an appropriate length will be embedded into the muscular layer or subcutaneous tissue of the acupoints by the specified disposable embedding needles. The absorbable surgical suture then stimulated those points over a long period.
The diagnosis of central precocious puberty (CPP) must be established before treatment is initiated. Regular monitoring of CPP patients is needed to assess both patient response as well as compliance. This is particularly important during the first 6 to 8 weeks of treatment to assure that suppression of pituitary-gonadal function is rapid. Testing may include LH response to GnRH stimulation and circulating gonadal sex steroid levels. Assessment of growth velocity and bone age velocity should begin within 3 to 6 months of treatment initiation.

Some patients may not show suppression of the pituitary-gonadal axis by clinical and/or biochemical parameters. This may be due to lack of compliance with the recommended treatment regimen and may be rectified by recommending that the dosing be done by caregivers. If compliance problems are excluded, the possibility of gonadotropin independent sexual precocity should be reconsidered and appropriate examinations should be conducted. If compliance problems are excluded and if gonadotropin independent sexual precocity is not present, the dose of SYNAREL may be increased to 1800 µg/day administered as 600 µg tid.

Psychiatric events have been reported in patients taking GnRH agonists. Postmarketing reports with this class of drugs includes symptoms of emotional lability, such as crying, irritability, impatience, anger, and aggression. Monitor for development or worsening of psychiatric symptoms during treatment with SYNAREL. 

Post-marketing reports of convulsions have been observed in patients receiving GnRH agonists. These have included patients with a history of seizures, epilepsy, cerebrovascular disorders, central nervous system anomalies or tumors, and patients on concomitant medications that have been associated with convulsions such as bupropion and SSRIs. Convulsions have also been reported in patients in the absence of any of the conditions mentioned above.

Pseudotumor cerebri (idiopathic intracranial hypertension) has been reported in pediatric patients receiving GnRH agonists. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri, including headache, papilledema, blurred vision, diplopia, loss of vision, pain behind the eye or pain with eye movement, tinnitus, dizziness, and nausea.
Participants will receive 1g IV infusion of rituximab on Days 1 and 15 and 750 mg infusion of Cyclophosphamide on Days 3 and 17. They also receive weekly oral placebo in place of methotrexate.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. According to the American heart association (AHA) over 19.1 million deaths worldwide in 2020 were attributed to CVD. Heart failure (HF) is considered one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization and the final stage of many heart disorders. It is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Heart failure (HF) affects more than 5.8 million people in the USA and over 23 million people worldwide, making it a serious public health issue. According to the 2022 guidelines of American heart association (AHA) a variety of non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic are available to treat heart failure (HF) to prevent or reverse its symptoms. Nonpharmacologic treatments may involve dietary sodium and fluid restriction, proper physical activity, and attention to weight gain depending on the illness\'s severity. Pharmacologic treatments include the use of diuretics, vasodilators, inotropic agents, anticoagulants, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel blockers (CCBs), digoxin, nitrates, B-type natriuretic peptides (BNPs), I(f) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). Recent study has shown that SGLT2I not only lowers blood sugar levels but also protects the kidney and heart, which can dramatically lower cardiovascular events, stall the advancement of renal failure, significantly raise patient quality of life, and lower medical costs for families and society. A study showed that Empagliflozin has cardio-renal protective effects as it reduced inflammatory and fibrotic markers, such as NF-κB, TGF-β1, and improved fibrosis. However, it was found that the variation in treatment response with SGLT2I may be due to the genetic polymorphism of TGF-β1 since this polymorphism may influence its expression. Therefore, it is important to assess the implications of genetic variants of the TGF-β1 gene in patients with HFrEF and the association of this polymorphism with treatment response to SGLT2I. Therefore, by correlating the pharmacogenetics hand in hand with the mechanistic markers involved in the pathogenesis of HF, this can aid in the development of individualized, therapeutic strategies and improve the patient's drug response.
Group will receive 8-week online program including CBT in combination with mindfulness and problem-based therapy in addition to treatment as usual. The content will reflect challenges cancer and palliative patients face through the course of treatment and developed into interactive and engaging therapy modules. All online sessions and interactions will occur through a secure online platform. Pre-designed therapy modules are assigned to the patients, accessible to them at any time throughout the week. Each module consists of approximately 30 slides, which take 45-50 minutes to complete. Each module highlights a different topic and includes general information, an overview of skills, and homework that is to be completed within that week. This homework can be directly submitted through the platform to the clinician who will then provide personalized feed-back to the patient. The average time spent per week by a clinician with a particular patient is about 15 minutes.
Bendamustine 40 mg/m2 and will be administered IV on days 1,2,and 3 prior to surgery on each day of SRT (Sterotactic radiation therapy). Laboratory biomarker analysis will be obtained on day 1 or 2 only from patients undergoing surgery on day 3 (i.e. Pharmacokinetic samples will not be collected from patients who begin SRT on day 1). Surgical Resection of Brain Metastases Day 3 (immediately after Bendamustine) Stereotactic fractionated radiation therapy starting at least 4 weeks after surgery (Day 1 if no surgery ); 30 Gy in 5 daily fractions(Mon-Fri). Concurrent Bendamustine is administered on Days of Stereotactic Radiotherapy (Arm 1: 40 mg/m2/ Day; Arm 2: 50 mg/m2/day).
The use of pegfilgrastim, which has a long-lasting effect in the human body, after myelosuppressive chemotherapy for solid tumors, including breast cancer, and blood cancers has led to a decrease in the incidence of neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, and a reduction in medical costs by shortening hospitalization periods related to side effects of chemotherapy. During the early stages of drug development, there was controversy over the timing of pegfilgrastim administration, and attempts were made to administer it at various times, from the day of chemotherapy to the day of neutropenia began. However, based on several studies, it is now known that patients who receive pegfilgrastim on the day of chemotherapy or after 4 days of chemotherapy have a higher incidence of febrile neutropenia. Therefore, administering pegfilgrastim on day 1-3 after chemotherapy is ideal, but in reality, it is often difficult for patients to visit the hospital multiple times after chemotherapy, so many patients are discharged after receiving pegfilgrastim on day 1. The FDA and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines also recommend administration on day 1. It is known that patients who experience neutropenia after the first round of chemotherapy are more likely to experience it again in subsequent rounds. The investigators aimed to see whether changing the pegfilgrastim administration date from day 1 to day 3 starting from the second round of chemotherapy for patients who experienced neutropenia after receiving pegfilgrastim on day 1 of the first round can reduce the incidence of neutropenia.
