### Intravenous Administration

OMNIPAQUE 350 at a concentration of 350 mg Iodine/mL is indicated in adults for use in intravenous digital subtraction angiography (I.V.DSA) of the vessels of the head, neck, and abdominal, renal and peripheral vessels.

Arteriograms of diagnostic quality can be obtained following the intravenous administration of contrast media employing digital subtraction and computer imaging enhancement techniques. The intravenous route of administration using these techniques has the advantage of being less invasive than the corresponding selective catheter placement of medium. The dose is administered into a peripheral vein, the superior vena cava or right atrium, usually by mechanical injection although sometimes by rapid manual injection. The technique has been used to visualize the ventricles, aorta and most of its larger branches, including the carotids, cerebrals, vertebrals, renal, celiac, mesenterics, and the major peripheral vessels of the limbs. Radiographic visualization of these structures is possible until significant hemodilution occurs.

OMNIPAQUE 350 can be injected intravenously as a rapid bolus to provide arterial visualization using digital subtraction radiography. Preprocedural medications are not considered necessary. OMNIPAQUE 350 has provided diagnostic arterial radiographs in about 95% of patients. In some cases, poor arterial visualization has been attributed to patient movement. OMNIPAQUE 350 is very well tolerated in the vascular system. Patient discomfort (general sensation of heat and/or pain) following injection is less than with various other contrast media.

#### Precautions

Since the contrast medium is usually administered mechanically under high pressure, rupture of smaller peripheral veins can occur. It has been suggested that this can be avoided by using an intravenous catheter threaded proximally beyond larger tributaries or, in the case of the antecubital vein, into the superior vena cava. Sometimes the femoral vein is used. (See PRECAUTIONS—General.)

#### Adverse Reactions

Cardiovascular system reactions in digital arteriography included transient PVCs (16%) and PACs (6.5%). (See ADVERSE REACTIONS: Intravascular—General.)

#### Dosage and Administration

The usual injection volume of OMNIPAQUE 350 for the intravenous digital technique is 30 mL to 50 mL of a 350 mg Iodine/mL solution. This is administered as a bolus at 7.5 to 30 mL/second using a pressure injector. The volume and rate of injection will depend primarily on the type of equipment and technique used.

Frequently three or more injections may be required, up to a total volume not to exceed 250 mL (87.5 g Iodine).
The purpose of this study was to explore the sex difference and effects of blood pressure (BP) on the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and carotid plaque in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). This large multicenter retrospective study included 12099 patients with CHD (aged 35-75 years) between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2020. Patients were divided into three groups according to systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP), and the SUA levels in males and females were converted into three groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of sex and BP on the relationship between SUA levels and carotid plaque in patients with CHD. In the model of male BP subgroups, using the BP of group A (normal with SBP <120 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg) as a reference, SUA levels were significantly correlated with the occurrence of carotid plaque under different BP states (P < .001). In contrast, in the model of female BP subgroups, most of these correlations were not statistically significant. Our study showed that SUA levels were significantly associated with carotid plaque occurrence in males with CHD, which remained significant across different BP states.
BACKGROUND: Iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism is a common cause of postthyroidectomy hypocalcaemia. It has varying incidence rates after neck surgery in Saudi Arabia, ranging from 0.07% to 65.30%. Hypoparathyroidism can manifest with a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe and life-threatening. This study aimed to assess the rate and predictors of iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism after thyroid surgery and its natural course.
METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used a data collection form to extract patient information from the electronic healthcare system (Best-Care) for patients treated from 2017 to 2022. Patients' demographics, surgical specifics and biochemical profiles were recorded for subsequent analysis.
RESULTS: Among the 343 patients who underwent thyroidectomy, 130 (37.9%) developed hypoparathyroidism, primarily within the first day after surgery. Calcium or vitamin D supplementation before surgery did not significantly influence hypoparathyroidism development. Notably, extensive combined lymph node dissection was significantly associated with postoperative hypoparathyroidism development (p = 0.0004). More patients who underwent central and lateral lymph node dissection (n = 19, 79.17%) developed hypoparathyroidism than patients who underwent central (n = 18, 40.91%) or lateral (n = 8, 38.10%) dissection alone. Permanent hypoparathyroidism was observed in 40 patients (11.66%).
CONCLUSION: This study revealed a high incidence of iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism and high rates of permanent hypoparathyroidism. Further research is warranted to better comprehend the risk factors and optimise management strategies for iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism. Overall, our findings emphasise the need for vigilant monitoring and effective management of patients undergoing thyroidectomy and the significance of postoperative replacement therapies.

Background \& Aims. Glutamine is a conditional essential amino acid that was found in reduced plasma amount in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. The supplementation of glutamine in ICU patients has been under much debate. Another nutritional supplement, vitamin C, had a beneficial effect on wound healing and a reduction in infection rate. In this investigation, enteral glutamine and vitamin C were provided for ICU patient, and the associated changes in proinflammatory cytokines and clinical outcomes were investigated.

Methods. This is a prospective double-blind randomized study for surgical ICU patients whom can sustain enteral feeding. The test group was provided with glutamine and vitamin C (the GA group); the control (C) group was provided with maltodextrin of equivalent calories as that provided in the GA group. Plasma glutamine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and clinical data were collected and analyzed with biostatistical methods.
All subjects will receive SOC during their hospital admission. This will include daily vital signs, WHO Ordinal Scale assessment and adverse events.

Polypeptides comprising all or part of a variant integrin α subunit A domain and its flanking region are described. In solution or in membrane-associated form, the A domain polypeptides of the invention exists predominantly in a high affinity conformation. In the polypeptides of the invention, referred to as variant integrin polypeptides, a crucial isoleucine or glutamic acid residue is altered. For example, the glutamic acid can be either deleted or replaced with different amino acids residue, e.g., glutamine, aspartic acid, or alanine. The variant integrin polypeptides of the invention selectively impair binding or activation-dependent ligands, but not independent ligands. They are useful in screening assays for the identification of molecules that enhance binding of variant polypeptides with impaired binding. In addition, they are useful in distinguishing between activation-dependent ligands and activation-independent ligands. They are also useful for generating antibodies, e.g., monoclonal antibodies, which bind to the impaired form of an integrin. Some such antibodies recognize an epitope that is either not present or not accessible on an integrin that is in the high affinity conformation. The variant integrin polypeptides of the invention can be derived from any integrin α subunit that could be used therapeutically.
A glucose level control system may be configured to determine a recommended medicament dose based at least in part on a subject's therapy data and/or user-specified medicament related inputs. The therapy data may include glucose level data and medicament delivery data. The user-specified medicament related inputs may include qualitative meal announcements. For example, the user can specify that the subject consumed a small, medium, or large meal. The glucose level control system may be configured to output an indication of the recommended medicament dose to a display. The glucose level control system may be configured to output a dose control signal to preconfigure a smart pen to deliver the recommended medicament dose. The glucose level control system may be configured to generate an alert if it determines, based at least in part on glucose level data and/or medicament delivery data associated with the subject, that trigger criteria have been satisfied.

The Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center (MMPC)Live Program was established in 2023 by the National Institute for Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to advance biomedical research by providing the scientific community with standardized, high quality phenotyping services for mouse models of diabetes and obesity. Emerging as the next iteration of the MMPC Program which served the biomedical research community for 20 years (2001-2021), MMPCLive is designed as an outwardly-facing consortium of service cores that collaborate to provide reduced-cost consultation and metabolic, physiologic, and behavioral phenotyping tests on live mice for U.S. biomedical researchers. Four MMPCLive Centers located at universities around the country perform complex and often unique procedures in vivo on a fee for service basis, typically on mice shipped from the client or directly from a repository or vendor. Current areas of expertise include energy balance and body composition, insulin action and secretion, whole body carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, cardiovascular and renal function, food intake and behavior, microbiome and xenometabolism, and metabolic pathway kinetics. Additionally, an opportunity arose to reduce barriers to access and expand the diversity of the biomedical research workforce by establishing the VIBRANT Program. Directed at researchers historically underrepresented in the biomedical sciences, VIBRANT-eligible investigators have access to testing services, travel and career development awards, expert advice and experimental design consultation, and short internships to learn test technologies. Data derived from experiments run by the Centers belongs to the researchers submitting mice for testing which can be made publicly available and accessible from the MMPCLive database following publication. In addition to services, MMPCLive staff provide expertise and advice to researchers, develop and refine test protocols, engage in outreach activities, publish scientific and technical papers, and conduct educational workshops and training sessions to aid researchers in unraveling the heterogeneity of diabetes and obesity.
BACKGROUND: The top-down holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) technique recently emerged as a safe and effective modification of traditional HoLEP. In our randomized controlled trial, we compared intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of traditional and top-down HoLEP for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in patients with a prostate size ≥80 g.
METHODS: One-hundred patients with BPH and a prostate volume ≥80 cc participated in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Outcome measures were collected and compared, including IPSS, QoL, flow rate, PVR, IIEF-15, PSA, and TRUS prostate volume changes. Perioperative complications were also recorded. All patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in preoperative baseline characteristics between the two surgical groups. The median prostate volume for the traditional and top-down HoLEP groups was 107 and 102 cc, respectively. The operative parameters and postoperative outcomes were comparable for both cohorts. The median enucleation time for traditional HoLEP was 60 min, which was not significantly longer than that of top-down HoLEP (52 min) (p = 0.07). At 3 months follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in transient stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in the traditional HoLEP (4.1%) versus the top-down HoLEP group (2.2%), (p = 0.61). There were no significant differences in functional and sexual outcomes between the two groups at 12 months.
CONCLUSIONS: The HoLEP procedure significantly improves patients' urinary functional outcomes and has comparable postoperative outcomes regardless of the technique utilized.

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that local recurrence after radiotherapy often occurs within the dominant intraprostatic lesions (DILs) in prostate cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the dose difference between DILs defined by Magnetic Resonance-guided and arc-based Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and to assess the association between the dose difference and biochemical recurrence-free survival.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2015 and 2019, 48 prostate cancer patients with DILs visible from multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) underwent arc-based IMRT with 70 Gy (2.5 Gy each fraction) to the prostate gland. Pretreatment mpMRI DILs contoured the prostate gland retrospectively.
RESULTS: Biochemical recurrence was 8.3%. There was a significant difference between the median dose of DILs from MRI-guided imaging, 69.22 Gy, and the median dose of the whole prostate from arc-based IMRT which was 67.09 Gy (p < 0.001*). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve compared by log-rank test showed an escalation dose of at least 2 Gy tends to improve biochemical recurrence-free survival. However, this tendency did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.2).
CONCLUSIONS: The dose distribution within DILs defined by mpMRI is significantly higher than the whole prostate dose from arc-based IMRT. Escalation doses in DILs tend to improve biochemical recurrence-free survival, further validation in larger patient cohorts with extended follow-up is warranted.

This study consists of a retrospective analysis and a pilot study. In the retrospective study, the investigators tried to find out an correlation between LCI images and histology results for polyp lesions. And a computer-aided analysis of the images was conducted to demonstrate the correlation objectively. Thereafter,a pilot study was performed to explore whether the previous correlation could be easily learned to distinguish adenoma and non-adenoma polyps by comparing the results of experts diagnosis of LCI image and non-experts. Also, in the pilot study, the investigators assessed the accuracy of an automate histology diagnosis method for polyp LCI images using the computer-aided system when compared to human experts physicians. Throughout the entire research, histology results are regarded as gold standard.
It has been reported that hyperuricemia is a risk factor for progression of IgAN. This will be a prospective, randomized study. Eligible IgAN patients will be randomized into the treatment group and the control group. Patients in treatment group will receive allopurinol and usual therapy. Patients in control group will receive usual therapy with placebo. If with hypertension, add the CCB and the β-blocker. Fasting uric acid, serum creatinine, albumin, routine blood test, urine microscopy and dipstick, proteinuria of 24 hours and blood pressure will be measured every month. After followed-up for 6 months, the curative effect of Allopurinol on blood pressure, proteinuria and the progression of IgA nephropathy will be evaluated.
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare skin fragility disorder caused by mutations in COL7A1. RDEB is hallmarked by trauma-induced unremitting blistering, chronic wounds with inflammation, and progressive fibrosis, leading to severe disease complications. There is currently no cure for RDEB-associated fibrosis. Our previous studies and increasing evidence highlighted the profibrotic role of NOTCH pathway in different skin disorders, including RDEB. In this study, we further investigated the role of NOTCH signaling in RDEB pathogenesis and explored the effects of its inhibition by γ-secretase inhibitors DAPT and PF-03084014 (nirogacestat). Our analyses demonstrated that JAG1 and cleaved NOTCH1 are upregulated in primary RDEB fibroblasts (ie, RDEB-derived fibroblasts) compared with controls, and their protein levels are further increased by TGF-β1 stimulation. Functional assays unveiled the involvement of JAG1/NOTCH1 axis in RDEB fibrosis and demonstrated that its blockade counteracts a variety of fibrotic traits. In particular, RDEB-derived fibroblasts treated with PF-03084014 showed (i) a significant reduction of contractility, (ii) a diminished secretion of TGF-β1 and collagens, and (iii) the downregulation of several fibrotic proteins. Although less marked than PF-03084014-treated cells, RDEB-derived fibroblasts exhibited a reduction of fibrotic traits also upon DAPT treatment. This study provides potential therapeutic strategies to antagonize RDEB fibrosis onset and progression.
