It is well established that infants breast fed by their HIV-infected mothers are at risk of acquiring HIV infection through breast milk. However, in low resource settings, where the HIV epidemic now predominates, breast feeding cannot simply be replaced by breast milk substitutes since alternatives to breast milk are unavailable, unaffordable and unsafe. With this application we aim to test the safety and efficacy of short duration exclusive breast feeding to minimize risks of HIV transmission without increasing risks of non-HIV infant mortality. We propose a 5-year study of HIV-positive mothers and their children to be conducted in two urban primary health care clinics in Lusaka, Zambia. All HIV-positive women and their infants will be offered the two-dose nevirapine intervention and will be counseled about the risks and benefits of infant feeding options. Women who indicate their decision to breast feed will be eligible for enrollment into the study. A culturally appropriate, affordable and sustainable breast feeding education and support program to encourage exclusive breast feeding will be developed, and all women who elect to breast feed will be encouraged to exclusively breast feed to 4 months. Half of the women will be randomized to a counseling program which will encourage abrupt weaning to full replacement feeding at 4 months, and half will be randomized to a program to encourage continued breast feeding after 4 months with the usual introduction of weaning foods. Children will be followed for two years with regular medical histories, physical exams and clinical sampling. The primary objective of the study, based on the random assignment, is to compare HIV transmission rates and under-2 year mortality rates in children who abruptly wean at four months of age versus children who are weaned according to local practice. The second primary objective, based on observational comparisons, is to compare HIV transmission among infants whose mothers adhere to recommendations to exclusively breast feed with those who do not. Secondary objectives are to describe acute and chronic effects of abrupt weaning on child morbidity. The study proposes to test an inexpensive and potentially sustainable public health intervention to reduce HIV transmission through breast feeding while preserving benefits of breast feeding for other aspects of child health in a very low resource setting.
The invention relates to a method for the preparation of polymer-fibrous material pre-impregnated with polymer (prepreg). By it the fibres are covered by powder containing at least one polymer, optionally, an agent initiating the polymerization reaction. Solvent is added to the composition produced which can dissolve the polymer but would not initiate its polymerization. Subsequently the  solvent is evaporated. It is also possible that the polymer should first be dissolved in a solvent. Then the fibres get in contact with the produced solution and the solvent is evaporated, preferably their surfaces whould be pretreated in order to facilitate the sticking of the polymer. The fibres treated in this way are covered by powder polymer. The invention also relates to a new material, to method for the preparation of a fibres-reinforced composite based on polymer prestrssed fibrous product, to new composites and to their aplication. 16 claims, 3 figures
To achieve maximum contraceptive effectiveness, Amethyst™ (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets) must be taken exactly as directed and at intervals not exceeding 24 hours. The possibility of ovulation and conception prior to initiation of medication should be considered. Women who do not wish to become pregnant after discontinuation should be advised to immediately use another method of birth control. The dosage of Amethyst™ is one white tablet daily without any tablet-free interval. 

It is recommended that Amethyst™ tablets be taken at the same time each day. 

Initiation of Therapy 

Instructions for beginning Amethyst™ are provided in Table 4 below. 

If spotting or unscheduled bleeding occurs, the patient is instructed to continue on the same regimen. This type of bleeding is usually transient and without significance; however, if the bleeding is persistent or prolonged, the patient is advised to consult her health care professional. The possibility of ovulation increases with each successive day that scheduled white tablets are missed. If the patient has not adhered to the prescribed schedule (missed one or more tablets or started taking them on a day later than she should have), the probability of pregnancy should be considered. Hormonal contraception must be discontinued if pregnancy is confirmed. 

The risk of pregnancy increases with each tablet missed. For additional patient instructions regarding missed tablets, see the WHAT TO DO IF YOU MISS PILLS section in the DETAILED PATIENT LABELING below. 

Amethyst™ may be initiated no earlier than day 28 postpartum in the nonlactating mother or after a second-trimester abortion due to the increased risk for thromboembolism (see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, and PRECAUTIONS concerning thromboembolic disease). The patient should be advised to use a nonhormonal back-up method for the first 7 days of tablet-taking. However, if intercourse has already occurred, pregnancy should be excluded before the start of combined oral contraceptive use or the patient must wait for her first menstrual period. 

In the case of first-trimester abortion, if the patient starts Amethyst™ immediately, additional contraceptive measures are not needed.
BACKGROUND: The incidence of mortality is considerable after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) hospitalization; risk assessment is needed to guide postdischarge management. Age shock index (SI) and age modified shock index (MSI) were described as useful prognosis instruments; nevertheless, their predictive effect on short and long-term postdischarge mortality has not yet been sufficiently confirmed.
METHODS: This analysis included 3389 prospective patients enrolled from 2016 to 2018. Endpoints were postdischarge mortality within 30 days and from 30 days to 1 year. Hazard ratios (HRs) were evaluated by Cox proportional-hazards regression. Predictive performances were assessed by area under the curve (AUC), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), net reclassification improvement (NRI) and decision curve analysis (DCA) and compared with TIMI risk score and GRACE score.
RESULTS: The AUCs were 0.753, 0.746 for age SI and 0.755, 0.755 for age MSI for short- and long-term postdischarge mortality. No significant AUC differences and NRI were observed compared with the classic scores; decreased IDI was observed especially for long-term postdischarge mortality. Multivariate analysis revealed significantly higher short- and long-term postdischarge mortality for patients with high age SI (HR: 5.44 (2.73-10.85), 5.34(3.18-8.96)), high age MSI (HR: 4.17(1.78-9.79), 5.75(3.20-10.31)) compared to counterparts with low indices. DCA observed comparable clinical usefulness for predicting short-term postdischarge mortality. Furthermore, age SI and age MSI were not significantly associated with postdischarge prognosis for patients who received fibrinolysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Age SI and age MSI were valuable instruments to identify high postdischarge mortality with comparable predictive ability compared with the classic scores, especially for events within 30 days after hospitalization.
With its high rate of consanguineous marriages and diverse ethnic population, little is currently understood about the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Pakistan. Pakistan has a highly ethnically diverse population, yet with a high proportion of endogamous marriages, and is therefore anticipated to be enriched for biallelic disease-relate variants. Here, we attempt to determine the underlying genetic abnormalities causing ASD in thirty-six small simplex or multiplex families from Pakistan. Microarray genotyping followed by homozygosity mapping, copy number variation analysis, and whole exome sequencing were used to identify candidate. Given the high levels of consanguineous marriages among these families, autosomal recessively inherited variants were prioritized, however de novo/dominant and X-linked variants were also identified. The selected variants were validated using Sanger sequencing. Here we report the identification of sixteen rare or novel coding variants in fifteen genes (ARAP1, CDKL5, CSMD2, EFCAB12, EIF3H, GML, NEDD4, PDZD4, POLR3G, SLC35A2, TMEM214, TMEM232, TRANK1, TTC19, and ZNF292) in affected members in eight of the families, including ten homozygous variants in four families (nine missense, one loss of function). Three heterozygous de novo mutations were also identified (in ARAP1, CSMD2, and NEDD4), and variants in known X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder genes CDKL5 and SLC35A2. The current study offers information on the genetic variability associated with ASD in Pakistan, and demonstrates a marked enrichment for biallelic variants over that reported in outbreeding populations. This information will be useful for improving approaches for studying ASD in populations where endogamy is commonly practiced.
Shivering is a common complication in the postoperative period. The incidence of shivering has been reported to range from 5% to 65% under general anesthesia and as 33% during epidural anesthesia. Shivering can increase perioperative risk in patients. Both dexmedetomidine and meperidine are effective agents for the prevention of postanesthetic shivering. However, few studies have compared the anti-shivering effects of different agents following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). This study aims to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and meperidine on the incidence of shivering in patients undergoing CABG.
The mechanisms of plaque rupture are not fully understood. Hemodynamic forces, plaque vulnerability, and the interaction between these factors may cause plaque instability and subsequent acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Previously, the first-in-human study, EMERALD I, showed that the addition of hemodynamic parameters calculated noninvasively from coronary computed tomography (CCTA) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) improved the ability to predict the risk of ACS compared with conventional approaches based on anatomical stenosis severity and adverse plaque characteristics. In addition to hemodynamic properties, quantified compositional plaque volumes such as fibrofatty and necrotic core volume (FFNC) or low-attenuation plaque burden (% plaque to vessel volume) have been proven to be robust prognostic indicators of ACS. While various hemodynamic and plaque features predictive of ACS have been introduced, the relative importance among them and the additive value of the risk model with the best features over the current diagnostic scheme of CCTA have not been proposed. In this regard, we designed the subsequent EMERALD II study to find the best hemodynamic and plaque features in prediction of ACS from comprehensive CCTA analysis, including per-lesion and per-vessel plaque quantification and hemodynamic analysis, and to investigate whether a comprehensive risk prediction model with them has an incremental value in a larger population.
A Pedi-Cap will be connected to the T-piece resuscitator in between the T-piece and face mask. With effective gas exchange, carbon dioxide (CO2) is detected by the Pedi-cap and will demonstrate gold color change with each exhalation. If there is no CO2 gas exchanged, the Pedi-Cap color will remain purple. The color change will be used as one of the tools for the resuscitation team to determine if the infant has effective non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during delivery room resuscitation. Other ways, in addition to the Pedi-Cap, to determine effective PPV include a rise in heart rate, improved infant color, chest rise, and improvement in oxygen saturation.
Early chronic kidney disease (CKD) has strong concealment and lacks an efficient, non-invasive, and lable-free detection platform. Cystatin C (Cys C) in urine is closely related to the progress of CKD (especially at the early stage), which is an ideal endogenous marker to evaluate the impairment of renal function. Thus, the accurate detection of urinary Cys C (u-Cys C) is great significant for early prevention and treatment and delaying the course of the disease of CKD patients. Herein, we developed an extended-gate field-effect transistor (EG-FET) sensor for ultrasensitive detection of u-Cys C, which consists of a monolithic interface-engineered graphene EG electrode array and a commercially available MOSFET. Laser-induced graphene (LIG) loaded with sputtered Au NPs in the presence of adhesive Cr (Au NPs/Cr/LIG) boosts the electrical performance of the EG electrode. Meanwhile, Au NPs also serve as linkers to immobilize papain that can selectively form protein complexes with Cys C. Supported by the synergistic effect of multilevel interface-engineered graphene, our sensor exhibits a good linear correlation within the u-Cys C concentration range of 5 ag/μL to 50 ng/μL with low detection limit of 0.05 ag/μL. Our work makes accurate, specific and rapid detection of u-Cys C feasible and promising for early screening for CKD.

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 4 have not been established. Considerations based on experience with oral LIORESAL (baclofen USP)

A dose-related increase in incidence of ovarian cysts was observed in female rats treated chronically with oral LIORESAL. Ovarian cysts have been found by palpation in about 4% of the multiple sclerosis patients who were treated with oral LIORESAL for up to one year. In most cases these cysts disappeared spontaneously while patients continued to receive the drug. Ovarian cysts are estimated to occur spontaneously in approximately 1% to 5% of the normal female population.
Nearly 90% of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) report lifetime trauma exposure and 33% meet criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Patients with co-occurring PTSD and OUD are at significantly greater risk for poor substance use and mental health outcomes vs. those with OUD alone. Although Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy is a first-line treatment for PTSD, its efficacy is commonly undermined by poor attendance.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel telemedicine-delivered prolonged exposure therapy protocol for improving PE attendance and reducing PTSD symptom severity in individuals with concurrent PTSD and OUD. In this randomized trial, adults with PTSD (N = 135) who are currently maintained on MOUD will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (a) Treatment as usual (TAU), (b) Prolonged exposure therapy (PE), or (c) Prolonged exposure therapy + attendance-contingent financial incentives (PE+). Participants randomized to the TAU condition will continue to receive standard MOUD treatment from their current treatment provider and complete remotely-administered assessments of PTSD symptoms, psychosocial functioning and drug use with an evaluator trained in the administration of all study measures and blinded to treatment condition at intake, monthly during the 12-week intervention, and at 3- and 6-months post-study, but will not receive PTSD treatment. In addition to receiving continued MOUD treatment from their current provider and completing assessments as above, participants assigned to PE will also receive telemedicine-delivered PE consisting of 12 weekly, individual sessions with trained master's- or doctoral-level therapists. PE sessions consist of imaginal exposure (i.e., revisiting and recounting traumatic memories) and processing the memory (i.e., discussing thoughts and feelings related to revisiting the memory). Participants also complete homework assignments consisting of repeated listening to a recording of the imaginal exposure and repeated in vivo exposure to safe situations that have previously avoided because of trauma-related distress. Participants assigned to the PE+ condition will receive the procedures noted above for the PE condition plus attendance-contingent financial incentives delivered immediately following completion of telemedicine-delivered PE sessions via a digital payment delivery platform.

Tham Solution (tromethamine injection) is indicated for the prevention and correction of metabolic acidosis. In the following conditions it may help to sustain vital functions and thus provide time for treatment of the primary disease:

     Metabolic Acidosis Associated with Cardiac Bypass Surgery.
    Tham Solution has been found to be primarily beneficial in correcting metabolic acidosis which may occur during or immediately following cardiac bypass surgical procedures.
     Correction of Acidity of ACD Blood in Cardiac Bypass Surgery.
    It is well known that ACD blood is acidic and becomes more acidic on storage. Tromethamine effectively corrects this acidity. Tham Solution may be added directly to the blood used to prime the pump-oxygenator. When ACD blood is brought to a normal pH range the patient is spared an initial acid load. Additional tromethamine may be indicated during cardiac bypass surgery should metabolic acidosis appear.
     Metabolic Acidosis Associated with Cardiac Arrest.
    Acidosis is nearly always one of the consequences of cardiac arrest and, in some instances, may even be a causative factor in arrest. It is important therefore, that the correction of acidosis should be started promptly with other resuscitative efforts. By correcting acidosis, Tham Solution (tromethamine injection) has caused the arrested heart to respond to resuscitative efforts after standard methods alone had failed. In these cases, tromethamine was given intraventricularly. It is to be noted, however, that such precariously ill patients often have died subsequently of causes unrelated to the administration of tromethamine. With administration by the peripheral venous route, metabolic acidosis has been corrected in a majority of patients. The success in reinstitution of cardiac rhythm by this means probably has not been of the same order of magnitude as with the intraventricular route.
The current standard of care will be delivered. Care will be provided to the individual at the health facility by a clinician (clinical officer in levels 3, 4 \& 5, medical officer in level 5), including regular consultation, vital signs, clinical history, physical examination, and prescriptions as required to control seizures.
Vascular calcification (VC) is a consequence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is of paramount importance regarding the survival of CKD patients. VC is far from being controlled with actual medication; as a result, in recent years, diet modulation has become more compelling. The concept of medical nutritional therapy points out the idea that food may prevent or treat diseases. The aim of this review was to evaluate the influence of food habits and nutritional intervention in the occurrence and progression of VC in CKD. Evidence reports the harmfulness of ultra-processed food, food additives, and animal-based proteins due to the increased intake of high absorbable phosphorus, the scarcity of fibers, and the increased production of uremic toxins. Available data are more supportive of a plant-dominant diet, especially for the impact on gut microbiota composition, which varies significantly depending on VC presence. Magnesium has been shown to prevent VC but only in experimental and small clinical studies. Vitamin K has drawn considerable attention due to its activation of VC inhibitors. There are positive studies; unfortunately, recent trials failed to prove its efficacy in preventing VC. Future research is needed and should aim to transform food into a medical intervention to eliminate VC danger in CKD.
Stroke poses a serious risk to the physical and mental health of patients. Endogenous compounds are widely used to treat ischemic stroke. Lipoic acid, a naturally occurring (R)-5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentanoic acid, has therapeutic potential for the treatment of ischemic stroke. However, the direct application of lipoic acid is limited by its relatively low efficacy and instability. Therefore, there is a need to modify the structure of lipoic acid to improve its pharmaceutical capabilities. Currently, 37 lipoic acid derivatives have been synthesized, and compound AA-9 demonstrated optimal therapeutic potential in an in vitro model of induced oxidative damage using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). In addition, in vitro experiments have shown that compound AA-9 has an excellent safety profile. Subsequently, the therapeutic effect of AA-9 was significant in the rat MCAO ischemic stroke model, which may be attributed to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of compound AA-9 by activating PGC-1α and inhibiting NLRP3. Notably, compound AA-9 exhibited higher stability and better bioavailability properties than ALA in plasma stability and pharmacokinetic properties. In conclusion, AA-9 may be a promising neuroprotective agent for the treatment of ischemic stroke and warrants further investigation.
