Stage 1 will consist of an initial cohort (Cohort 1) up to 6 evaluable participants who will receive a dosing regimen of Oraxol consisting of a 15-mg oral HM30181AK-US tablet plus an oral paclitaxel dose of 205 mg/m2, both administered once daily for 3 consecutive days. The stages and cohorts are further described in the "Study Design - Stages and Cohorts" table below. An interim analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) data from Cohort 1 will be conducted to determine if the administered regimen would appear likely to achieve bioequivalence (BE) (AUC0-∞), if tested in a greater number of participants in Stage 2. If it appears unlikely that the selected regimen will meet the criteria for BE based on AUC0-∞ data, a second cohort (Cohort 2) of up to 6 evaluable participants may be enrolled in Stage 1, and the dose of paclitaxel in Oraxol may be adjusted by a maximum of +/- 25%. If Cohort 2 is enrolled, a second interim analysis will be conducted.

After the interim analysis/analyses (depending on the outcomes), a decision will be made by consensus of the Data Safety and Monitoring Board(DSMB), Kinex, Zenith Technology, and the Principal Investigator as to what dose should be administered in Stage 2. The DSMB will consist of a clinical oncologist, an ethicist, an independent statistician, and additional members, as deemed necessary. A DSMB charter will describe the planned evaluations and decision points used to determine the dose for Stage 2. An additional 18 to 42 evaluable participants will be enrolled into Stage 2 based on the Stage 1 results (AUC0-∞). Thus a total of up to 54 evaluable participants could potentially be enrolled in this study (6 each from Stage 1, Cohorts 1 and 2, and up to 42 participants in Stage 2).
Bacteriologic studies to determine the causative organisms and their susceptibility to the penicillinase-resistant penicillins should be performed (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY –MICROBIOLOGY). In the treatment of suspected staphylococcal infections, therapy should be changed to another active agent if culture tests fail to demonstrate the presence of staphylococci. 

Periodic assessment of organ system function including renal, hepatic, and hematopoietic should be made during prolonged therapy with nafcillin. White blood cell and differential cell counts should be obtained prior to initiation of therapy and periodically during therapy with nafcillin. Urinalysis, serum blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine determinations should be performed at baseline and periodically during therapy with nafcillin. Serum bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma glutamyl transferase should be obtained at baseline and periodically during therapy, especially when using high nafcillin doses. In patients with worsening hepatic function, the risk versus benefit of continued nafcillin use should be re-evaluated.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have demonstrated that sarcopenia is frequently observed in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, most studies have defined sarcopenia solely based on skeletal muscle (SM) loss, and muscle weakness such as grip strength (GS) reduction has not been considered. We aimed to clarify whether SM loss and reduced GS have different associations with clinical characteristics and pancreatic imaging findings in patients with CP.
METHODS: One hundred two patients with CP were enrolled. We defined SM loss by the SM index at the third lumbar vertebra on CT (<42 cm2/m2 for males and <38 cm2/m2 for females), and reduced GS by < 28 kg for males and <18 kg for females.
RESULTS: Fifty-seven (55.9 %) patients had SM loss, 21 (20.6 %) had reduced GS, and 17 (16.7 %) had both. Patients with SM loss had lower body mass index, weaker GS, higher Controlling Nutritional Status score, lower serum lipase level, and lower urinary para-aminobenzoic acid excretion rate, suggesting worse nutritional status and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. On CT, main pancreatic duct dilatation and parenchymal atrophy were more frequent in patients with SM loss than in those without it. Patients with reduced GS were older and had worse nutritional status than those without it.
CONCLUSIONS: SM loss was associated with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, low nutritional status, and pancreatic imaging findings such as parenchymal atrophy and main pancreatic duct dilatation, whereas older age and low nutritional status led to additional reduced GS.

Phytophthora root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae) is one of the most destructive diseases to affect soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) production. GmSRC2 that encodes a C2 domain-containing protein can respond to various stresses, however, the molecular mechanism of GmSRC2 in resistance of soybean to P. sojae is yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, GmSRC2 was found to be significantly up-regulated under P. sojae treatment; GmSRC2-overexpression (OE) transgenic lines and GmSRC2-silencing transient plants were generated via Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system, respectively. Infected leaves and cotyledons of OE-GmSRC2-1 and OE-GmSRC2-2 lines showed significant decreases in the disease symptoms and P. sojae biomass than those of wild type (WT); the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) confirmed the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in overexpressed transgenic lines. Whereas, silencing of GmSRC2 severely increased the disease symptoms and the biomass of P. sojae. Further, we confirmed that GmSRC2 interacted with the effector PsAvh23 of P. sojae, and the C2 domain was crucial for the interaction. Overexpression of GmSRC2 upregulated the ADA2/GCN5 module upon P. sojae. The aforementioned results demonstrated that GmSRC2 played vital roles in regulating soybean resistance to oomycetes.
The neuromuscular bandage will be applied after skin antisepsis with 70% alcohol. A 5 cm width Vitaltape® bandage will be used. For the bandage application, a distal base (anchor) with two centimeters of diameter will be maintained with maximum stretching on the seroma and finalized with another base no stretching, of 2 cm, in the proximal region. How many bundles of bandages are required according to the patient's body characteristics and aspect of the flotation region. The bandage will not be applied on the scar. If there are any complications such as itching, redness, discomfort and / or others, the patients will remove the material at home and communicate on return to the institution. They will remain four days approximately for revaluation and intervention suspension.
The quantification of the proteomes : L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin was analysed in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus.A total of 70 subjects with generalized severe chronic periodontitis were selected and divided into two groups. Group I comprised of 35 subjects who were diagnosed with generalized severe chronic periodontitis without any systemic conditions. Group II comprised of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Demographic variables such as age, weight, height, BMI and income and the clinical parameters such as plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were recorded. Subgingival tissue samples were collected from both the groups from the periodontal surgical site. The collected samples were subjected to further molecular analysis for the mRNA expression of L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin using RT-PCR and for their protein quantification using ELISA.The elevated levels of mRNA expression and elevated quantification of L-plastin and Lipocalin proteins in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis subjects with diabetes denoted the localized involvement of these molecules in the pathogenesis of both periodontitis and type II diabetes mellitus. Since adiponectin was reduced in periodontitis patients with type II diabetes mellitus, it can be used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic biomarker for the early identification of patients at risk for diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.

A phase I study for evaluating the safety of oral colchicine in preventing and treating radiation-induced dermatitis among head and neck cancer patients who will receive RT for HNC. Prior to receiving RT, each subject will be receiving either the standard of care or low-dose oral colchicine (No randomization). There will be a comparison of the proportion of radiation-induced dermatitis in the two study arms. The individuals in the standard of care arm will receive a placebo colchicine pill once a day. Those who are in the experimental arm will receive 0.6 mg of oral colchicine once a day. The primary endpoint is the safety and tolerability of oral colchicine. The proportions of grade 2-4 radiation-induced dermatitis at the end of Radiation therapy (RT) and at the first follow-up three-four weeks post-treatment in these two study arms are the secondary study endpoints. In addition, pain, erythema, and health-related quality-of-life will be evaluated.

The study subjects will receive radiation therapy (RT) as scheduled and will meet with their clinicians for their follow-up visits.
The development of a once-daily anti-retroviral regimen is a priority because regimen simplicity might enhance regimen adherence, and because a once-daily regimen would be useful for directly observed therapy. Pharmacokinetic modeling suggests that plasma levels of amprenavir in the presence of ritonavir, a potent inhibitor of cytochrome p450, should be high enough to support once-daily dosing. Lamivudine is currently being explored in other studies in once-daily dosing. Abacavir has not been used once daily but some in vitro studies suggest that such dosing might be appropriate. In this uncontrolled, open-label study, amprenavir 1200 mg daily, ritonavir 300 mg daily, lamivudine 300 mg daily, and abacavir 600 mg daily will be administered to up to 25 HIV-infected, anti-retroviral naive patients. The objectives are to assess the tolerability and safety of this regimen; the plasma concentrations of amprenavir; and the anti-viral response. Study evaluations include percentage of patients who have discontinued the regimen by weeks 16 and 24 for toxicity, intolerance or failure; the number of grade 3 and 4 adverse events by weeks 16 and 24; the antiviral response at weeks 16, 24, and 48 (change from baseline and percentage of patients with viral load less than 50 copies and less than 400 copies per mL), and the number (percent) of patients with trough plasma concentrations of amprenavir above 280 ng/mL.
Introduction: Episiotomy is the most common surgical intervention during vaginal delivery. Perineal damage during this incision causes perineal pain; pain and anxiety levels of women increase during episiotomy repair as well as during labor and delivery. In order to minimize this level of pain, local anesthetic agents are routinely administered to the episiotomy region. In recent years, in the literature, it is known that many non-pharmacological techniques are applied to reduce the pain of birth in addition to local anesthesia. One of these nonpharmacological methods is the application of pressure to LI4 point on hand with ice. Although there are studies conducted to reduce the pain with LI4 point in the literature, the studies done to reduce the pain experienced during episiotomy repair are quite limited.In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of ice massage applied to the hand during episiotomy repair on perceived pain.

Methods: The study was carried out in the delivery unit of a maternity hospital between April 15, 2018 and November 15, 2018 with vaginal delivery for the first time, no complication developed during the delivery, with the study group being 45 and the control group being 60 with 105 women. Immediately before the episiotomy repair was started (after exit of placenta and applying local anesthetic agent), women assigned to the study (massage) group were asked to place plastic gloves filled with ice pieces in the LI4 point on hand. This application was made for 5 minutes to the right hand and for 5 minutes to the left hand. The episiotomy was opened by the same midwife as all the women to the right mediolateral and repaired by the same midwife with the same technique and material.The ice massage was repeated until the episiotomy repair was over; total massage time and episiotomy repair time were recorded. Women were asked to mark the perceived pain level before the application and at the end of the application using the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) (perceived pain level during episiotomy repair). In the control group women were not excluded from routine practice; women were asked to mark the perceived pain level before episiotomy repair begin and at the end the repair using the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) (perceived pain level during episiotomy repair) like the study (massage) group. Data were evaluated by using chi square, student t test and ANOVA in SPSS 18.0 program.
Sepsis is a syndrome of physiologic, pathologic, and biochemical abnormalities induced by infection. It is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. It is a major public health concern, accounting for more than $20 billion (5.2%) of total US hospital costs in 2011. Not only is sepsis expensive and prevalent, but it is a major cause of mortality and critical illness worldwide. Moreover, cases of severe sepsis are expected to rise in the future for several reasons, including: Increased awareness and sensitivity for the diagnosis; increasing numbers of immunocompromised patients; wider use of invasive procedures; more resistant microorganisms; and old aging population.

Use of appropriate antibiotics in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a major challenge. Studies have shown that up to 50% of antibiotics prescribed in hospital settings are either unnecessary or inappropriate, contributing to increasing rates of resistant organisms, increases in adverse drug reactions, overall length of stay (LOS) and mortality. In addition, in critically ill patients, a long duration of treatment with antibiotics is associated with the development of antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, Sepsis and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) SIRS can closely mimic one another and present a diagnostic challenge. So, determination of the presence or absence of bacterial infection is important to guide appropriate therapy and reduce antibiotic exposure. For microorganism detection, culture sensitivity is used though it has some drawbacks as time consuming, sometimes misleading with negative or positive reports and also they don't give information about the onset of organ dysfunction. Accordingly, it is important to differentiate culture negative sepsis patients from those with noninfectious SIRS, as these disease conditions require different therapeutic regimens. Due to these drawbacks of culture, researchers tried to depend on other more specific blood markers.

Biomarkers of infection, namely C-reactive protein and procalcitonin (PCT) have been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of infection as well as in the assessment of its response to antibiotic therapy. C-reactive protein variations overtime appears to have a good performance for the diagnosis of infection. Procalcitonin shows a better correlation with clinical severity.

Despite being used routinely in several intensive care services as an auxiliary criterion for decisions regarding antibiotic therapy, no C- reactive protein based protocol has been tested in clinical trials to guide the reduction of antibiotic use in patients with sepsis until 2012. In 2013 Oliveira et al. compared a protocol based on serum PCT levels versus a protocol based on serum C-reactive protein levels for reducing the duration of antibiotic treatment in critically ill patients presenting with severe sepsis or septic shock. The latter study showed that C-reactive protein was as useful as procalcitonin in reducing antibiotic use in a predominantly medical population of septic patients, causing no apparent harm.

The aim of this study is to analyze and investigate the SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) transmission with effect of heart attack in United Kingdom with advanced mathematical tools. Mathematical model is converted into fractional order with the help of fractal fractional operator (FFO). The proposed fractional order system is investigated qualitatively as well as quantitatively to identify its stable position. Local stability of the SC-2 system is verified and test the proposed system with flip bifurcation. Also system is investigated for global stability using Lyponove first and second derivative functions. The existence, boundedness, and positivity of the SC-2 is checked which are the key properties for such of type of epidemic problem to identify reliable findings. Effect of global derivative is demonstrated to verify its rate of effects of heart attack in united kingdom. Solutions for fractional order system are derived with the help of advanced tool FFO for different fractional values to verify the combine effect of COVID-19 and heart patients. Simulation are carried out to see symptomatic as well as a symptomatic effects of SC-2 in the United Kingdom as well as its global effects, also show the actual behavior of SC-2 which will be helpful to understand the outbreak of SC-2 for heart attack patients and to see its real behavior globally as well as helpful for future prediction and control strategies.
BACKGROUND: Transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB) is a common procedure used to obtain a prostate biopsy. Although generally safe, complications may occur including infection. Preprocedural antimicrobial prophylaxis is recommended to minimize risk of subsequent infection.
METHODS: This study is a retrospective chart review via the computerized patient record system from January 1, 2018 to February 28, 2022. The study included patients who underwent a TRPB at the Western New York, Syracuse, or Albany Stratton Veterans Affairs Healthcare Systems.
RESULTS: This study included a total of 932 patients who underwent TRPB. Postoperative infection occurred in 3.2% (n = 30) of patients within 14days of the TRPB. Of the 30 patients who developed an infection, 30% (n = 9) resulted in bacteremia. For the 932 patients evaluated, 24 different antibiotic regimens were used, none of which followed guideline recommendations. None of the regimens were found to have an impact on rates of subsequent infection.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest a need for guideline adherence. There was no benefit to using the guideline-discordant regimens as they were not associated with a decreased risk of infection, and in many cases exposed patients to unnecessarily broad and prolonged antibiotic regimens.
In U.S. phase 1 trials, single doses of up to 345 mg/m2 of irinotecan were administered to patients with various cancers. Single doses of up to 750 mg/m2 of irinotecan have been given in non-U.S. trials. The adverse events in these patients were similar to those reported with the recommended dosage and regimen. There have been reports of overdosage at doses up to approximately twice the recommended therapeutic dose, which may be fatal. The most significant adverse reactions reported were severe neutropenia and severe diarrhea. There is no known antidote for overdosage of Irinotecan Hydrochloride Injection. Maximum supportive care should be instituted to prevent dehydration due to diarrhea and to treat any infectious complications.
