PURPOSE:To obtain a manicure cosmetic having excellent luster, adhesivity, etc., and high safety because of low content of free aromatic monobasic acid by compounding a specific oil-free alkyd resin. CONSTITUTION:The objective manicure cosmetic is produced by compounding a manicure cosmetic base with an oil-free alkyd resin having a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000-4,000 and obtained by the condensation reaction of phthalic anhydride, glycerol and an aromatic monobasic acid (e.g. benzoic acid) in combination with 2-ethylhexanoic acid. The use of 2-ethylhexanoic acid as a monobasic acid in combination with aromatic monobasic acid is effective in remarkably decreasing the content of free aromatic monobasic acid without deteriorating the luster, adhesivity, etc., of the cosmetic. The manicure cosmetic has various excellent application properties such as excellent dispersion stability of pigment, stability of the product, application of glossy appearance to the nail, high adhesivity to nail, resistance to scratch, high toughness and resistance to peeling. It has extremely excellent quality and high safety.
Chronic active antibody-mediated rejection is one of the leading causes of graft failure and traditional therapies have unclear efficacy. Recent studies suggested that Tocilizumab could stabilize renal function and improve microvascular inflammation. Here we report the outcomes of Tocilizumab therapy in 6 pediatric kidney transplant recipients with biopsy-proven chronic active antibody-mediated rejection resistant to standard treatments. All patients received monthly Tocilizumab infusions for 6 months and were monitored for renal function (creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), proteinuria) and Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) and non-HLA antibodies at baseline and 3 and 6 months after Tocilizumab initiation. For each patient, a follow-up biopsy was scheduled at the end of the treatment. Renal function did not show stabilization or improvement (mean eGFR 37 ml/min/1.73 m2 pre-Tocilizumab and 27 ml/min/1.73 m2 3 months after-Tocilizumab) and proteinuria remained stable. Moreover, Tocilizumab had no impact on HLA and non-HLA antibodies. Graft loss was observed in 3 patients (50 %) and 4 patients who underwent post-treatment biopsy showed a worsening in overall chronicity scores. In our pediatric series, rescue therapy with Tocilizumab did not appear to be effective in modifying the natural history of chronic active antibody-mediated rejection.
In the first condition, volunteers will receive a dopamine (DA) precursor (L-dopa, 100mg). L-dopa will be combined with a dose of an Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor (Benserazide) 25mg to multiplicate its bioavailability and with a dose of domperidone 10mg (peripheral antagonist of DA) to minimize the risk of side effects.
The experimental group will benefit from a dietary consultation in the service, 9 dietary consultations by telephone every 15 days to which will be associated 7 individual sessions of hypnosis and 3 individual sessions of learning to autohypnosis. A recording containing the induction of a self-hypnosis session will be given to the subject at the end of the 10 sessions, in order to promote the continuation of home-made autohypnosis.
The Great Life Mentoring program (GLM) provides volunteer-based mentoring for school-age youth from low-resource families who are receiving outpatient mental health care. Each youth is paired with a mentor with whom they spend time in the community on a weekly basis for at least one year. Mentors are required to complete a 20-hour intensive training prior to being paired with a youth. Mentors also receive monthly in-person supervision from GLM staff for the first year of their meetings, which continues on an as-needed basis thereafter. Training and supervision are geared toward the unique opportunities and challenges that can occur when mentoring a youth with mental health needs. The goal is for the mentor to become an integral part of the child's mental health treatment, but the mentoring relationship is also sustained after treatment ends.
A system and method for selecting and applying tag morphing rules and/or correcting malformed DICOM files is provided. The method includes receiving and parsing, by a processor of a medical imaging system, a medical image to determine an originating vendor. The method includes selecting and retrieving, from a central rules repository, a tag morphing rule based on the originating and destination vendors. The central rules repository is communicatively coupled to processors of multiple medical imaging systems including the processor of the medical imaging system and stores tag morphing rules accessible to each of the processors of the medical imaging systems. The method includes applying the tag morphing rule selected and retrieved from the central rules repository to morph a tag of the medical image to be compatible with the destination vendor. The method includes providing the medical image having the morphed tag to the destination vendor for storage and/or display.
INTRODUCTION: Shock states that occur during, for example, profound hemorrhage can cause global tissue hypoperfusion leading to organ failure. There is an unmet need for a reliable marker of tissue perfusion during hemorrhage that can be followed longitudinally. Herein, we investigated whether longitudinal POMCO2 tracks changes in hemodynamics in a swine model of coagulopathic uncontrolled junctional hemorrhage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Female Yorkshire-crossbreed swine (n = 7, 68.1 ± 0.7 kg) were anesthetized and instrumented for continuous measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP). Coagulopathy was induced by the exchange of 50 to 60% of blood volume with 6% Hetastarch over 30 minutes to target a hematocrit of <15%. A 4.5-mm arteriotomy was made in the right common femoral artery with 30 seconds of free bleeding. POMCO2 was continuously measured from baseline through hemodilution, hemorrhage, and a subsequent 3-h intensive care unit period. Rotational thromboelastometry and blood gases were measured.
RESULTS: POMCO2 and MAP showed no significant changes during the hemodilution phase of the experiment, which produced coagulopathy evidenced by prolonged clot formation times. However, POMCO2 increased because of the uncontrolled hemorrhage by 11.3 ± 3.1 mmHg and was inversely correlated with the drop (17.9 ± 5.9 mmHg) in MAP (Y = -0.4122*X + 2.649, P = .02, r2 = 0.686). In contrast, lactate did not significantly correlate with the changes in MAP (P = .35) or POMCO2 (P = .37).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the logical appeal of measuring noninvasive tissue CO2 measurement as a surrogate for gastrointestinal perfusion, prior studies have only reported snapshots of this readout. The present investigation shows real-time longitudinal measurement of POMCO2 to confirm that MAP inversely correlates to POMCO2 in the face of coagulopathy. The simplicity of measuring POMCO2 in real time can provide an additional practical option for military or civilian medics to monitor trends in hypoperfusion during hemorrhagic shock.
PURPOSE: To assess liver and spleen characteristics of a population with Gaucher disease (GD) using multiparametric MRI and MR elastography (MRE) for evaluation of diffuse liver and spleen disease, which includes liver fat fraction, liver and spleen volume and iron deposition, and liver and spleen stiffness correlated with DS3 Severity Scoring System for Gaucher disease (GD-DS3).
METHODS: We prospectively evaluated 41 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease using a 3.0 T MRI and MRE between January 2019 and February 2020. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data was collected. Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman's correlation were applied to evaluate liver and spleen MRI and MRE, clinical and laboratory variables, and GD-DS3. ERT and SRT treatment groups were compared.
RESULTS: Hepatomegaly was seen in 15% and splenomegaly in 42% of the population. Moderate and strong and correlations were found between liver and spleen iron overload (rho = 0.537; p = 0.002); between liver and spleen volume (rho = 0.692, p < 0.001) and between liver and spleen stiffness (rho = 0.453, p = 0.006). Moderate correlations were found between liver stiffness and GD-DS3 (rho = 0.559; p < 0.001) and between splenic volume and GD-DS3 (rho = 0.524; p = 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of hepatosplenomegaly, liver fibrosis, and liver iron overload in treated patients with GD is low, which may be related to the beneficial effect of treatment. Liver MRE and splenic volume correlate with severity score and may be biomarkers of disease severity.
There is increasing evidence suggesting that carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) represents a complex pain syndrome including both peripheral and central sensitization mechanisms. In fact, patients with unilateral CTS exhibit bilateral widespread pressure hyperalgesia and bilateral pain hypersensitivity suggesting the presence of altered nociceptive gain processing. In addition, these sensitization processes seem to be independent of electro-diagnostic findings. Previous studies support the use of physical therapy and surgical interventions for the management of pain and disability in these patients. However, there is no evidence related to changes in nociceptive gain process after the application of any therapeutic intervention. Preliminary evidence suggests that manual therapies can modulate sensitization mechanisms. Therefore, our objective is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to determine if manual therapies including desensitization maneuvers of the central nervous system are effective to decrease widespread pressure pain and thermal pain hypersensitivity in women with CTS.
Pain control is a major challenge for physicians, who must ensure appropriate and effective pain control for their patients, while remaining mindful of the many negative effects of opioid dependence and addiction. Nowhere is there a more pressing need than in children and young adults, who are at high risk for drug abuse, and in post-operative care, since post-operative opioid use can be a starting point for long-term pain issues. Postoperative pain control in the Nuss procedure, minimally invasive repair of the congenital chest wall deformity known as pectus excavatum, remains a significant problem for the 3000 patients who undergo this procedure each year, mostly adolescents and young adults. Many multimodal analgesic regimens have been tried, but optimal treatment remains unknown.

This study will test a novel and promising strategy of using intra-operative cryoanalgesia during the Nuss procedure. Cryoanalgesia is the localized, temporary freezing of peripheral nerves, which is performed at the time of the Nuss procedure. The study is a 20-subject prospective, randomized pilot trial comparing cryoanalgesia to thoracic epidural analgesia for post-operative pain control in patients undergoing the Nuss procedure. Subjects will be recruited from patients already scheduled for a Nuss procedure at our institution, and will undergo 1:1 randomization to either cryoanalgesia or thoracic epidural analgesia for perioperative pain control. During their hospitalization, patients' opiate usage will be prospectively recorded, and pain will be assessed twice per day. Upon discharge, patients will maintain a log of their opiate use, and will return to clinic at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year after Nuss procedure for post-operative assessment. Primary outcome is length of perioperative hospitalization, an objective measure that synthesizes many different aspects of a procedure and its subsequent post-operative course, including pain control. Secondary outcomes are post-operative narcotic usage and direct cost of perioperative hospitalization. Side effects of both interventions will also be assessed.

This will be the first systematic investigation of cryoanalgesia for local nerve block in a thoracoscopic procedure, and the first study involving its use in adolescents and young adults. The results will have direct application for those undergoing the Nuss procedure to repair pectus excavatum. Investigators will also delineate a reproducible protocol for delivering cryoanalgesia thoracoscopically, to ensure others can safely and effectively use this method if it proves beneficial. Although the focus is on the small subset of patients who undergo the Nuss procedure, if a standardized approach to cryoanalgesia delivery in a thoracoscopic procedure has a positive effect on patient outcomes and cost of hospitalization, the technique could be applied to a variety of surgical procedures, as well as for other neuropathic pain.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system to solve problems caused by the existing system that shows only intake volumes per day but no practice, restricts input items for results of professional medical check data and the specific items, gives no advice for a dietetic therapy, an exercise therapy and the likes, offers only the dietetic advice for calorie nutrients but no advice for the essential nutrients, is not able to show if the intake volumes of the essential nutrients are enough, and has not the practice items for a case if the nutrients are not taken. SOLUTION: The system offers information about the essential nutrients and food, which are especially required for individual personal health, on the basis of the individually written check sheet concerning a personal data, food names and volumes taken. The system helps to distribute the individual by filling a prescription and packing supplements, Chinese medicine, and the likes in a packet. Therefore, the system can fill the prescriptions and pack medicines in the packet based upon the individual check sheets. The system can effectively give the correct advice about the nutrients. It can take care of the individuals completely and also can precisely control daily preventive medicine, the nutrients, and beauty culture in a simple way.  The system features in saving the government spending in the health care and also in down sizing the health insurance system by a way of reducing diseases and illnesses through the preventive nutrient management.
Patients randomized to the73-day trial arm will undergo a 7-day PNE trial time for sacral neuromodulation. Participants will have the PNE placed in the office and return on day 7 for PNE removal.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction is a formalized, experiential, 8-week stress-management program. Participants attend weekly two-hour classes and a half-day retreat during which they learn mindfulness meditation, breath work, yoga postures, self-reflection and awareness.
It is planned to enroll 50 patients aged between 18 and 80 years who have been diagnosed with Shoulder Myofascial Pain Syndrome into the study. After signing informed consent forms, eligible patients will be randomized into two different groups using a random number table (randomizer.org) according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the study, neither the patient nor the evaluator will know which group they are in; only the physician administering the dry needling treatment will be aware. At the beginning of the study, during weekly follow-ups, and at the end of the study, non-interventional assessment tests will be conducted. Minimal intervention, drug-free dry needling treatment will be administered to patients twice in total, once a week, each session lasting approximately 10-20 minutes with ultrasonographic guidance. Throughout the study period, all patients in both groups will be instructed in detail on the daily exercises they need to perform (trapezius stretching and infraspinatus stretching exercises), as well as on important considerations (avoiding prolonged static positions, etc.). They will be encouraged to perform these exercises daily and mark their completion. Additionally, they will be informed about the selection and usage of medications (only paracetamol) that they can use when necessary, along with instructions on adherence and marking on the provided follow-up form. The entire process will be monitored weekly through the follow-up form provided to the patients.
Patients will receive cetuximab dosed at 500 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 15, and WU-NK-101 on Days 2 and 16, in each 4-week cycle. Depending on response patients may receive up to 6 cycles of treatment.
Some patients like smokers have ongoing host response even after bacterial plaque removal achieved. Therefore efforts to develop effective treatment approaches remain an important objective in the treatment of gingivitis to prevent periodontitis especially in patients at high risk for developing periodontitis as smokers.

Smoking is a major risk factor for the incidence and the progression of periodontal diseases. The increased periodontal disease susceptibility in smokers is predominantly caused by changes in inflammatory and immune responses. Cigarette smoking also influences the amount and the composition of subgingival plaque. Smokers have higher numbers of pathogens in their resident biofilm and display an ongoing host response even after biofilm removal. Different approaches were explored to reduce the negative effects of smoking on the outcomes of periodontal therapy Synbiotic were defined as a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics that beneficially affects the host by improving the survival and implantation of live microbial dietary supplements in the gastrointestinal tract, by selectively stimulating the growth and/or by activating the metabolism of one or a limited number of health-promoting bacteria, and thus improving host welfare. Also in some cases, this may lead to a competitive advantage for the probiotics among with other bacteria.
Music contains amplitude and frequency modulations, rapid changes in acoustic signals that convey meaningful information to the listener. The human brain's ability to receive and interpret meaning from these signals is implemented by networks of neural oscillations: firing patterns of groups of neurons that track the music with rhythmic activity. Neural oscillations in different frequency bands subserve attention and memory, as well as perception and comprehension; they develop over the lifespan and are reduced in aging, especially in dementia. Being able to understand and causally control neural oscillations will have crucial implications for healthy neurocognitive aging. Since music naturally stimulates the brain with its rhythmic content over time, music may be used as a sustainable, naturalistic form of brain stimulation to induce oscillatory in neuronal populations. Furthermore, by inserting gamma-band energy as sensory stimulation during music listening, gamma-band activity may be increased in the brain in a way that is frequency-tuned to the brain's intrinsic network dynamics, thus replacing the decreased neural oscillations that are reduced in aging, and improving memory and cognition in older adults. The hypothesis is that gamma-band modulations inserted in lights, when coupled with music listening, can improve memory in older adults by frequency-tuning to intrinsic individual brain network dynamics. Results will test the causal role of oscillatory mechanisms of the brain on cognition. If successful, this trial will lay the groundwork to the first musical, neurophysiologically targeted, brain-stimulation device for reversing cognitive decline in aging.
OBJECTIVE: To perform a qualitative evaluation of the analgesic effects of magnesium in domestic animals, including its anaesthetic sparing effects.
STUDY DESIGN: All database searches were made using PubMed and Google Scholar. Studies published after 1990, evaluating the use of magnesium and reporting information on analgesia, in dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats and sheep were selected (last search in August 2023). A reference check in the selected papers was performed to identify any study which was omitted. The CERQual (Confidence in Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research) approach was used to assess confidence and analyse the evidence.
RESULTS: A total of 20 studies relevant to the analgesic effects of magnesium in veterinary patients and two reviews were included. All were published after 2006. Of the 20, five studies provided information about analgesia in the postoperative period in dogs with heterogenous results. Magnesium added epidurally increased the duration of the sensory block in several species. Motor block was also observed when added to spinal analgesia. Results regarding volatile agents sparing effect were conflicting. Occasional moderate adverse effects were reported in dogs, such as nausea and vomiting, when administered as a bolus in conscious animals, and hypotension when administered intraperitoneally. Collapse was reported in horses after epidural administration.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The evidence of an analgesic effect of magnesium in veterinary patients remains scarce considering the paucity and low quality of published data. Further research may be helpful to establish the efficacy and indications of magnesium in multimodal analgesia in animals.

Recent studies have shown children who sustain a concussion are susceptible to having chronic symptoms (post-concussion syndrome). This chronicity can lead to delays in returning to learn and returning to play. Blurry vision, double vision, eye strain and eye tracking problems are some of the reported chronic symptoms that can affect patients' daily activities. Concussion awareness has increased recently and there is a surge of interest to better understand and treat the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome. Currently, ocular treatment for patients are often empirically determined. Common treatments are vision therapy and/or bifocal glasses. There has yet to be any standardization or prospective studies looking into treatment for these concussed patients with ocular symptoms and findings. The objective of this protocol is to compare three different types of glasses (typical prescription glasses for kids, typical glasses for kids with anti-glare coating, and progressive addition lenses with anti-glare coating) as treatment options for participants who are still symptomatic four weeks out from their concussion. The main outcome is the effectiveness of these three different options in reducing patients' symptoms and improving the participants' visual findings.
