The invention relates to a functional sleeping bag with trace-element anion far-infrared nano-fiber fabric, which belongs to the technical field of development and application of health fabric. As people know, a person can live without eating food for 7 days or without drinking water for 5 days, but dies without air for 5 minutes, so air is very important, but the quality of the air is more important. The anion content of the air is the key of air quality. Anions in the air are as important as vitamins in food and are called vitamins or longevity elements in the air, so most of centenarians live in mountains or rural areas, and even diseases of certain people with serious chronic diseases can disappear after living in the mountains or the rural areas for a certain period of time. The reason can be attributed that the mountains or the rural areas are numerous in anions in the air, rich and comprehensive in trace elements in soil, water and food. The functional sleeping bag with the trace-element anion far-infrared nano-fiber fabric is developed and produced according to the basic mechanism to strengthen the body and prolong the life.
Prospectively two groups of patients with hip osteoarthritis were included in the study. Hip osteoarthritis was classified according to the Croft classification. The investigators primary goal is to evaluate T+ 2 ( 2 cm above trochanter minor) results between the two groups. Standard effect sizes (standard effect size) assumed to be at least 0.75. 30 cases for each group took power with 80% margin of 5% error. Patients with malignant tumors, previously known bone disease, drug consumption affecting bone mineralization or Crowe type III hip dislocations with greater than 4 cm of limb length discrepancy (LLD) were excluded. Prior to the operation, all patients underwent an X ray investigation to exclude any bone abnormalities. All patients were operated by the same team, which was composed of two senior surgeons and 2 fellows. Patients with odd-numbered were the first group and even numbers were the second group in order of receipt surgery. All patients were operated on the lateral decubitus position with a posterior approach and a metaphyseal locking femoral stem (Depuy Synthess SUMMIT Tapered Hip System, US). In the first group, no preoperative templating was performed, and the final conformation of the stem size and position was decided freehand intraoperatively based on anatomic landmarks. In the second group, there was also no preoperative templating, but after both senior surgeons agreed on the final stem size intraoperatively, C-arm fluoroscopy images were obtained with the last rasp size before stem implantation. The alignment and stem fitting of the femoral canal were evaluated. While evaluating the limb leg discrepancy anterior - posterior fluoroscopy image must include both hips and both lesser trochanters. Once this was achieved, the interteardrop line was used and vertical distance between interteardrop line and lesser trochanters measured for limb length discrepancy. Horizontal distance between tip of trochanter major and center of rotation was evaluated as lateral offset. For stem alignment, the femoral stem axis being parallel with the axis of the femoral canal was assessed. Also centralization of femoral stem tip in the femoral canal was assessed. Determination of stem was assessed according to full contact of broach teeth in sub trochanteric region. The stem was size changed unless all criteria above was achieved on fluoroscopy. After the operation, all patients were evaluated with X ray and CT(computerized tomography).

Medial canal flare index (MCFI) can be used for metaphyseal lacking femoral stems. The alignment of the femoral stem with the femoral canal, the limb length discrepancy ( LLD) and the lateral offsets were evaluated on X ray. The stem/endosteal areas at 2 cm above the trochanter minor (T+2) and 2 cm below the trochanter minor (T-2) and the deviation of the stem tip from the center of the femoral canal were evaluated on CT(Computerized tomography) images.
This dataset comes from the 1946 National Birth Cohort study, which comprises all persons born in England, Scotland and Wales in one week in March 1946. The cohort comprises 5,362 individuals (2,815 men and 2,547 women). Data have been collected from participants on a regular basis throughout their life, including information on lifestyle and, in combination with administrative datasets, on health outcomes.
Autotetraploid Carassius auratus is a stable hereditary autotetraploid fish resulting from the hybridization of Carassius auratus red var. (RCC, ♀) × Megalobrama amblycephala (BSB, ♂), containing four sets of RCC chromosomes. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the determination of sex in this species remains largely unknown. Currently, there lacks a full understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing sex determination and specific molecular markers to differentiate sex in this species. In this study, 25,801,677 SNPs (Single-nucleotide polymorphism) and 6,210,306 Indels (insertion-deletion) were obtained from whole-genome resequencing of 100 individuals (including 50 female and 50 male). Further identification confirmed the candidate chromosomes as Chr46B, with the sex-determining region located at Chr46B: 22,500,000-22,800,000 bp. Based on the male-specific insertion (26 bp) within the candidate sex-determining region, a pair of sex-specific molecular markers has been identified. In addition, based on the screening of candidate sex-determining region genes and RT-qPCR validation analysis, ADAM10, AQP9 and tc1a were identified as candidate sex-determining genes. These findings provide a robust foundation for investigating sex determination mechanisms in fish, the evolution of sex chromosomes, and the development of monosex populations.
The education tool will be distributed to families whose child is undergoing an appendectomy. The explanation of the procedure will also be done verbally by the surgeon as it is the standard care at the hospital. The parental anxiety assessment will be done in the same way as above, before surgery with the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). In addition, the email of one of the primary caregivers will be collected, and the caregiver will receive an email with a link to the post-operative questionnaire 10 days post-discharge. At 14 days post-discharge, they will receive a reminder email with the link to the questionnaire. All responses to the questionnaire are voluntary and anonymous.
Osteoarthritis is the result of the degeneration of the cartilage to articulate, being currently considered as having an multifactorial cause. Of the histological point of view it is characterized for alterations of the loss of the natural viscoelasticity, giving to origin the foci of "softening" in the cartilaginous surface that if gets depressed becoming discontinues for the appearance of "fibrillation zones" provoking reaction of the subcondral bone that if condemns in the pressure areas (sclerosis) and proliferates together to the edges of the joint (osteophytic). It is that affect millions of people annually and one of the main and a common condition causes pain functional incapacity generating enormous economic load for the community. The knees are one of the affected joints more due to overload that constitutes the main activator or determinative mechanism for the development of the illness. Beyond pain it has important reduction of the amplitude of movement and the muscular force that causes functional limitation and posture's alterations intervening with the activities of daily life. Therefore, the main objective of this study will be to characterize the posture's alterations and the electromiographic activity in patients with osteoarthritis of knees. For this study 60 citizens will be evaluated, 30 with diagnosis of OA of knees unilaterally and 30 healthful citizens, both the groups will be of the feminine sex with age between 65 to 75 years. The selected patients will answer a questionnaire of personal dates and will have an evaluation fiche, in which will be written down: age, index of corporal mass (IMC), index of Lesquene, index WOMAC (Western Ontario and Mac Master), personal and familiar date of the diagnosis, antecedents, instituted treatments, date of the last x-ray, radiological classification of the osteoarthritis according to Scale of Kellgren, electromiographics date and seeming of the postural evaluation. For the electromiographic evaluation the activity of the muscles vastus lateralis and medial oblique in the isometric contraction maximum volunteer (ICMV) and in the march will be analyzed. And for the postural evaluation will be made three photographs in the sights previous frontal and sagittal right and left, being that, for the analysis of the posturais alterations the program will be used SAPO (software for postural evaluation - version 0.63).

In the analysis descriptive statistics the average, medium and shunting line will be used standard. The level of significance will be established in α \< 0,05.
Laser probe will be inserted into the vagina. The laser treatment is delivered at 6 points to the vaginal wall. Delivery begins at the most proximal and the wand is retracted by 1 cm and another row of laser treatment is delivered. The number of levels is determined by vaginal length.
Chronic lung disease (CLD) of prematurity is the major cause of long-term disability of extremely LBW (ELBW) premature infants, and it is the most cost consumptive disease in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit graduates. Vitamin A plays an important role in the development of premature lung. Nevertheless, premature infants are prone to vitamin A deficiency. Oral supplementation of vitamin A does not alter the incidence of CLD in ELBW infants. Intramuscular administration of vitamin A reduced the incidence of CLD. The treatment is considered painful and this way is not routinely practiced. Vitamin A is systemically bioavailable after intratracheal administration with surfactant in an animal model of newborn respiratory distress.
PURPOSE: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been approved, for over a decade, by both European and American medicine agencies, for treatment and prevention of several cardiovascular conditions. Since then, an increasing amount of data has been added to the medical literature day by day, resulting in a dichotomy in selection of the appropriate agent, dosage, and duration of treatment for special populations with multiple comorbidities. Considering these issues, we have prepared a comprehensive review for the clinical practitioner, to optimize the DOAC utilization in clinical practice.
METHODS: A thorough literature search and review was conducted, concerning mainly the last decade. Our review focused on the current guidelines and the most recently published studies in PubMed, Science Direct Scopus, and Google Scholar to date.
CONCLUSION: The purpose of this study is to provide guidance for healthcare professionals for making proper decisions when confronted with clinical challenges. Nevertheless, further research is required to establish DOAC superiority in complicated cases, where there is clinical uncertainty.
Objective: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) predispose individuals to impaired fitness, obesity, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, placing them at greater risk for diabetes, coronary artery disease, and upper extremity overuse syndrome as body weight increases. The specific objectives for the current proposal were to compare the impact of FES (functional electrical stimulation) lower extremity exercise versus upper extremity arm crank ergometry on energy metabolism, body composition and fat deposition, insulin sensitivity, glucose effectiveness, lower extremity bone mineral density and lipid profiles, in adults with complete paraplegia. Research Plan: A randomized, baseline-controlled, prospective, 16-week interventional trial was employed to assess the impact of FES LCE versus volitional arm crank ergometry exercise on energy metabolism, body composition and fat deposition, insulin sensitivity, glucose effectiveness, lower extremity bone mineral density and lipid profiles in adults with complete paraplegia. Methods: Twenty-four 18-65 y.o. individuals with motor complete T4-L2 SCI were assigned to either FES lower extremity exercise or upper extremity arm crank ergometry to compare impact on energy expenditure, obesity, and insulin sensitivity. Both groups were provided similar nutritional assessments and intervention. Exercise training consisted of five, 40-minute sessions at 70% maximal heart rate (HRmax) each week for a total of 16 weeks. Resting metabolic rate, exercise energy expenditure, body composition by DXA, insulin sensitivity, glucose effectiveness, lipid profiles, and lower extremity bone mineral density (BMD) were determined before and after 16-week exercise interventions.
For the Standard Behavioral Treatment (SBT) condition, participants will participate in the standard behavioral weight loss programming, which utilizes strategies from existing obesity treatments (e.g., the Diabetes Prevention Program). These features include the following: 1) nutritional education, 2) diet and physical activity, 3) expectations for daily self-monitoring of calorie intake and activity, 4) stimulus control, behavior shaping, behavior analysis, and relapse prevention strategies, and 5) social support.
Treatment B Conventional physiotherapy was composed of 4 sections of exercises, chiefly oriented to different body structures appropriate to movement (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health code): trunk (s760), pelvis (s750), lower extremity (s750), and upper extremity (s730) including shoulder region (s720). Domains focused on were (1) warm-up exercises, (2) trunk mobility exercises, (3) postural stability (b715), and (4) transferring oneself (d420) and changing body positions (d410).
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer among women in the United States. It has always been the hope that devising methods of earlier detection would lead to improvement of long-term survival. Therefore, the development of novel, more selective, and noninvasive diagnostic techniques is a priority. Mammography is currently the most commonly used breast imaging modality for both screening and diagnostic purposes. Additionally, breast ultrasound imaging and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are generally used to supplement or help confirm any indeterminate or suspicious finding prior to consideration of a breast biopsy. However, these conventional imaging methods lack information about tissue function and have lower diagnostic accuracy.

Most recently, near infrared (NIR, of wavelength 700-900 nm) optical diffuse spectroscopic imaging has been investigated as a novel diagnostic tool for breast cancer. In the near-infrared (NIR) light spectrum, oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin are the major chromospheres in tissue, and the absorption spectrums of the two hemoglobin states differ across these wavelengths. Thus, there have been many contemporary attempts to use the intra-tissue absorption and scattering of NIR light to quantify functional tissue parameters such as hemoglobin concentration (HbT) and oxygen saturation (StO2), including tumor differentiation within the human breast. To a very good approximation, NIR photons diffuse through relatively thick tissues, such as several centimeters of a human breast. Functional imaging with NIR light offers several novel tissue parameters that differentiate tumors from normal breast tissue. For example, hemoglobin de-saturation in tumors may be increased due to the high oxygen demand of cancers and blood volume may be increased over that of normal background tissue due to the greater vascularization and metabolic needs of cancers.

While NIR imaging provides additional physiological parameters that potentially help to improve the specificity of breast cancer diagnosis, its relatively low spatial resolution makes it unsuitable for morphological analysis. The resolution of a NIR system is intrinsically limited by the diffusive nature of the near infrared light in tissue. Currently, typical instruments can distinguish simple structures of approximately 1 cm in size; sharp edges are typically blurred by a few millimeters. It was proposed that the imaging technique combining near infrared and ultrasound modalities has the potential to fully utilize their complementary features and overcome their deficiencies. This protocol defines the clinical study to prove the concept of the near infrared/ ultrasound dual modal imaging and to evaluate its sensitivity and specificity for breast cancer diagnosis.
Octreotide acetate has been associated with alterations in nutrient absorption, so it may have an effect on absorption of orally administered drugs. Concomitant administration of octreotide acetate with cyclosporine may decrease blood levels of cyclosporine and result in transplant rejection. 

Patients receiving insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or agents to control fluid and electrolyte balance, may require dose adjustments of these therapeutic agents.

Concomitant administration of octreotide and bromocriptine increases the availability of bromocriptine. Limited published data indicate that somatostatin analogs might decrease the metabolic clearance of compounds known to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, which may be due to the suppression of growth hormones. Since it cannot be excluded that octreotide may have this effect, other drugs mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 and which have a low therapeutic index (e.g., quinidine, terfenadine) should therefore be used with caution.
An adenoviral vector is disclosed comprising the genome of an adenovirus other than human adenovirus AdHu5 (Ad5, HadV-5) and chimpanzee adenovirus AdY25 (Y25) wherein the genome of the adenovirus has been modified such that the vector lacks the native early transcription E4 locus of the adenovirus and comprises heterologous E4-open reading frame 1 (E4Orf1), E4Orf2 and E4Orf3 coding regions from AdY25. Also disclosed are associated immunogenic compositions, polynucleotides, host cells, bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), packaging cell lines and kits. The adenoviral vector may further comprise heterologous E4Orf4, E4Orf6 and E4Orf6/7 coding regions from AdHu5 in the E4 locus of the adenovirus. Preferably, the adenoviral vector lacks a functional E1 and/or E3 locus and may comprise one or more capsid proteins including hexon, penton and fibre proteins. The adenoviral vector may further comprise an exogenous nucleotide sequence encoding an antigenic protein. Vaccine compositions comprising the vector may be used to treat and/or prevent diseases, such as malaria. Preferably, the vector is derived from chimpanzee adenovirus C68 (ChAd68, AdCh68, Pan6, sAd25) and is AdChOx2 (ChAdOx2).
Bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement (bMVR) use is increasing; however, data regarding long-term durability are lacking. We sought to perform a reconstructed individual patient data meta-analysis from published Kaplan-Meier curves to ascertain survival, freedom from valve degeneration, and reoperation in studies published since 2010. We explored the effects of age and valve type (bovine pericardial or porcine valve) on outcomes. We searched MEDLINE, OVID, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL for studies reporting at least 3 years of follow-up after bMVR and published since 2010. The Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool was used to assess methodologic quality. Kaplan-Meier curves were digitized to extract individual patient data and reconstructed estimates for overall survival, freedom from structural valve deterioration (SVD), and freedom from reoperation. A total of 20 studies (16,465 patients) were included. A total of 9 studies reported on porcine valves, 6 reported on bovine, and 7 did not specify the valve type. The overall survival after bMVR at 15 years was 40% (confidence interval 38% to 42%), freedom from reoperation at 15 years was 79% (confidence interval 76% to 82%), and freedom from SVD at 15 years was 64% (58% to 70%). Freedom from SVD was improved in the 70+ years age group (93% up to 25 years, hazard ratio 6.6 [2.5 to 17] for 18 to 59 vs >70 years, p <0.0001). There was no difference in valve durability or survival between bovine pericardial or porcine valves. In this meta-analysis of patients who underwent bMVR using newer generation valves, the inverse relation between age and SVD was reiterated in the 70+ years age group. The prosthesis type made no difference in the outcomes.
