Observational studies suggested increased risks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis (MS) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to assess the causality for the associations of CD and UC with the risks of AD, PD, and MS through a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Independent single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with CD (17,897 cases and 33,977 controls) and UC (13,768 cases and 33,977 controls) were identified as genetic instruments based on a European-descent genome-wide association study (GWAS) released by the International Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium. Summary statistics for AD (combined: 25,881 cases and 256,837 controls), PD (combined: 35,836 cases and 665,686 controls), and MS (combined: 48,477 cases and 285,515 controls) were obtained from the largest GWASs and FinnGen study of European ancestry, respectively. MR estimates were generated using the inverse-variance weighted method in the main analysis with a series of sensitivity analyses. MR analyses were conducted per outcome database and were subsequently meta-analyzed to generate combined estimates. Genetically predicted UC was significantly associated with increased risks of AD (combined: OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05; P = 1.80 × 10-3) and MS (combined: OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.23-1.53; P = 1.18 × 10-8), while there was no association between genetically predicted UC and the risk of PD. In contrast, no significant associations were observed for genetically predicted CD with AD, PD, and MS. MR-Egger regression showed no directional pleiotropy for the identified associations, and sensitivity analyses with different MR methods further confirmed these findings. This study suggested significant adverse effects of UC on AD and MS, highlighting that UC patients should receive early intervention with optimal adjunctive medical therapy to reduce the risks of AD and MS.
Assigned participants will receive instruction by a registered dietitian on a low fat diet that is high in complex carbohydrates. Total caloric intake will be adjusted to induce a supervised metabolic challenge defined as weight gain of approximately 2.5 kg over 5 weeks followed by 3-5kg weight loss over 8 weeks.
Long term exposure to silica particles leads to various diseases, among which silicosis is of great concern. Silicosis is an interstitial lung disease caused by inhalation of silica particles in production environments. However, the mechanisms underlying silicosis remains unclear. Our previous studies revealed that progranulin (Pgrn) promoted the expression of pro-inflammatory factors in alveolar macrophages treated with silica particles and the secretion of extracellular matrix of pulmonary fibroblasts. Nevertheless, the role of Pgrn in silica particles-induced silicosis in vivo was unknown. This study found that silica particles increased Pgrn expression in silicosis patients. Pgrn deficiency reduced lung inflammation and fibrosis in silica particles-induced silicosis mouse models. Subsequently, based on transcriptional sequencing and interleukin (Il) -6 knockout mouse models, results demonstrated that Pgrn deficiency might decrease silicosis inflammation by reducing the production of Il-6, thereby modulating pulmonary fibrosis in the early stage of silicosis mouse models. Furthermore, another mechanism through which Pgrn deficiency reduced fibrosis in silicosis mouse models was the regulation of the transforming growth factor (Tgf) -β1/Smad signaling pathway. Conclusively, Pgrn contributed to silicosis inflammation and fibrosis induced by silica particles, indicating that Pgrn could be a promising therapeutic target.
Patients undergo POWER exercise intervention consisting of supervised exercise training sessions over 50 minutes every 7 days for a total of 12 sessions and 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly for 12 weeks. Patients also undergo PROSPECT internet-based CBT intervention over 12 weeks.
Antiviral substance comprises a mainly ionic complex in which the cationic part is a linear polyarginine having at least 5 arginine units and the anionic part is (a) a double chain ribonucleic acid polyanion, the double chain ribonucleic acid being of natural origin or (b) a polyanion of a double chain deriv. of a natural double chain ribonucleic acid. The complexes are antivirals with a broad spectrum of activity against both RNA and DNA viruses e.g. encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus, Semlike Forest virus, foot and mouth disease virus and Herpes Simplex. At least part of their activity is due to induction of interferons in the cells of the host. The LD50 in mice of these complexes is less than the LD50 of the RNA alone.

They will also receive an instruction pamphlet that describes the health benefits of regular physical activity (PA), safety instructions for PA, the national PA guidelines for older adults, suggested strategies to increase number of steps and an accelerometer pre and post-intervention.
INTRODUCTION: In 2012, the World Health Organization revised treatment guidelines for childhood pneumonia with lower chest wall indrawing (LCWI) but no 'danger signs', to recommend home-based treatment. We analysed data from children hospitalized with LCWI pneumonia in the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) study to identify sub-groups with high odds of mortality, who might continue to benefit from hospital management but may not be admitted by staff implementing the 2012 guidelines. We compare the proportion of deaths identified using the criteria in the 2012 guidelines, and the proportion of deaths identified using an alternative set of criteria from our model.
METHODS: PERCH enrolled a cohort of 2189 HIV-negative children aged 2-59 months who were admitted to hospital with LCWI pneumonia (without obvious cyanosis, inability to feed, vomiting, convulsions, lethargy or head nodding) between 2011-2014 in Kenya, Zambia, South Africa, Mali, The Gambia, Bangladesh, and Thailand. We analysed risk factors for mortality among these cases using predictive logistic regression. Malnutrition was defined as mid-upper-arm circumference <125mm or weight-for-age z-score <-2.
RESULTS: Among 2189 cases, 76 (3·6%) died. Mortality was associated with oxygen saturation <92% (aOR 3·33, 1·99-5·99), HIV negative but exposed status (4·59, 1·81-11·7), moderate or severe malnutrition (6·85, 3·22-14·6) and younger age (infants compared to children 12-59 months old, OR 2·03, 95%CI 1·05-3·93). At least one of three risk factors: hypoxaemia, HIV exposure, or malnutrition identified 807 children in this population, 40% of LCWI pneumonia cases and identified 86% of the children who died in hospital (65/76). Risk factors identified using the 2012 WHO treatment guidelines identified 66% of the children who died in hospital (n = 50/76).
CONCLUSIONS: Although it focuses on treatment failure in hospital, this study supports the proposal for better risk stratification of children with LCWI pneumonia. Those who have hypoxaemia, any malnutrition or those who were born to HIV positive mothers, experience poorer outcomes than other children with LCWI pneumonia. Consistent identification of these risk factors should be prioritised and children with at least one of these risk factors should not be managed in the community.
BACKGROUND: Machine learning could predict binge behavior and help develop treatments for bulimia nervosa (BN) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Therefore, this study evaluates person-specific and pooled prediction models for binge eating (BE), alcohol use, and binge drinking (BD) in daily life, and identifies the most important predictors.
METHODS: A total of 120 patients (BN: 50; AUD: 51; BN/AUD: 19) participated in an experience sampling study, where over a period of 12 months they reported on their eating and drinking behaviors as well as on several other emotional, behavioral, and contextual factors in daily life. The study had a burst-measurement design, where assessments occurred eight times a day on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays in seven bursts of three weeks. Afterwards, person-specific and pooled models were fit with elastic net regularized regression and evaluated with cross-validation. From these models, the variables with the 10% highest estimates were identified.
RESULTS: The person-specific models had a median AUC of 0.61, 0.80, and 0.85 for BE, alcohol use, and BD respectively, while the pooled models had a median AUC of 0.70, 0.90, and 0.93. The most important predictors across the behaviors were craving and time of day. However, predictors concerning social context and affect differed among BE, alcohol use, and BD.
CONCLUSIONS: Pooled models outperformed person-specific models and the models for alcohol use and BD outperformed those for BE. Future studies should explore how the performance of these models can be improved and how they can be used to deliver interventions in daily life.
High-fat diets alter gut barrier integrity, leading to endotoxemia by impacting epithelial functions and inducing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in intestinal secretory goblet cells. Indeed, ER stress, which is an important contributor to many chronic diseases such as obesity and obesity-related disorders, leads to altered synthesis and secretion of mucins that form the protective mucus barrier. In the present study, we investigated the relative contribution of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs)-modified microbiota to alleviating alterations in intestinal mucus layer thickness and preserving gut barrier integrity. Male fat-1 transgenic mice (exhibiting endogenous omega-3 PUFAs tissue enrichment) and wild-type (WT) littermates were fed either an obesogenic high-fat diet (HFD) or a control diet. Unlike WT mice, HFD-fed fat-1 mice were protected against mucus layer alterations as well as an ER stress-mediated decrease in mucin expression. Moreover, cecal microbiota transferred from fat-1 to WT mice prevented changes in the colonic mucus layer mainly through colonic ER stress downregulation. These findings highlight a novel feature of the preventive effects of omega-3 fatty acids against intestinal permeability in obesity-related conditions.
Patients with lung cancer and brain metastases undergo HA-WBRT-SIB using image-guided radiotherapy, receiving a total dose of 30-36 Gy delivered in 18-20 fractions to the whole brain (CTV), while the dose to the GTV is boosted to 44 Gy-52 Gy in 18-20 fractions, ﬁve times a week. The optimal mean dose (Dmean) to the bilateral hippocampus should optimally be ≤ 8 Gy, with a mandatory maximum dose (Dmax) to the hippocampus not exceeding 10 Gy; the preferred Dmean to the hippocampus PRV should optimally be ≤ 9 Gy, while the mandatory Dmax to the hippocampus PRV should be ≤ 12 Gy. The HVLT-R immediate recall scores are obtained at baseline and 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment.
A preparation process for extracting antitumor substance sulforaphane from broccoli buds comprises the following steps: harvesting raw materials, sorting raw materials, cleaning, crushing, juicing, concentrating, drying at normal temperature in vacuum, collecting powder, packaging and warehousing. The preparation process can extract, store and maintain the activity of the antitumor substance sulforaphane extracted from broccoli buds to a great extent, and has the core process characteristics that: 1. the crushing rate can reach 90% or more by adopting a five-link double-shaft rolling crushing method and the rolling pressure is 6T. 2. The method comprises the steps of crushing broccoli buds, juicing, stirring at a fast speed to enable a sulforaphane precursor to fully react with black dielectric enzyme, and meanwhile, keeping the temperature not higher than 45 ℃ in a drying process, so that the sulforaphane content in the product is effectively improved, and each 100g of broccoli extract dry powder contains the sulforaphane more than or equal to 1800 u. 3. The method solves the problems of high cost, complex process operation and the like of extracting the sulforaphen from broccoli or dried turnip seeds by adopting an organic solvent or an enzymolysis method, and directly adopts a brand-new crushing technology and a temperature control technology to extract the sulforaphen from broccoli buds.
During controlled clinical studies with RECOMBINATE enrolling 210 subjects, the most commonly reported adverse drug reactions were chills, flushing, rash and epistaxis. 

During the Previously Treated Patients (PTP) study, none of the 71 subjects developed de novo evidence of Factor VIII inhibitor. However, during the phase II/III portion of the study, 1 subject with a history of inhibitors exhibited inhibitor activity at 6 months (0.8 Bethesda Units [BU]), which resolved by 9 months. One other subject in this study had detectable Factor VIII inhibitor at baseline (1.26 BU) and exhibited an anamnestic response at 6 months (10.3 BU). During a prospective pharmaco-surveillance study of subjects who received batches of RECOMBINATE containing modestly increased Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell protein levels, none of the 34 treated subjects developed a Factor VIII inhibitor.

During the Previously Untreated Patients (PUP) study, 22 of the 73 evaluable subjects developed inhibitors to Factor VIII. Of these, 13 subjects displayed no detectable Factor VIII inhibitors at study exit.
GroundWorks DanceTheater and Cleveland Clinic are partnering to design and implement a pilot study of a dance movement-based community program for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The program is aimed at addressing major needs in the MS community including social-emotional well-being, body awareness, and motor function. GroundWorks artists will use a variety of movement-based practices including personalized tasks and imagery, mirroring, and inscription, with the goal of improving upper and lower extremity function, and well-being. Cleveland Clinic will assist GroundWorks in the selection, monitoring, and testing of the participants. Cleveland Clinic will also take the lead with data management and analysis. By partnering, GroundWorks and Cleveland Clinic hope to create a promising program that will lead to further exploring the impact of dance movement-based programming in individuals affected by MS.
In the 24 hours between the first and last face scan, reduce fluid intake by approximately 75% (equating to approximately 700 ml (women) and 800 ml (men)). Participants will be provided pre-filled water bottles and asked to only ingest fluid in bottle until second morning face scan.
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of achronic kidney disease (CKD) peer coach's educational intervention on the quality of life of African-American individuals with CKD. This study employed an experimental research design to assess a peer coaching educational intervention for African-American individuals with CKD. The theoretical underpinning was grounded in social learning theory, emphasizing observational learning, imitation, and modeling. 165 patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 81) or the control group (n = 84). Pre- and post-intervention analyses showed no significant differences in most health measures between the two groups. However, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in the energy/fatigue subscale, witha16-point difference supporting the intervention group (p = .003). Additionally, the intervention group showed increased scores in the pain subscale (p = .015), while the control group did not. The CKD educational intervention highlighted cultural considerations and provided cost-effective strategies for social workers. It emphasizes the importance of targeted educational interventions and calls for further research and interventions to address the comprehensive needs of CKD patients and improve their quality of life.
Subjects who are assigned to the clonazepam treatment group will receive a dose of 1-2mg clonazepam dose tid. Following the initial treatment if a physician investigator determines that the subject's treatment has failed, the investigator has the option of treating the subject with clobazam at which point the individuals would be treated in the same method as those originally assigned to the clobazam treatment group.

The driving exercises to be used are based upon standard Veterans Affairs-based driver assessments which have a well-established safety record and have been applied to a wide-range of medically-related and post-deployment driving issues.

Specifically, the driving exercises will embed a test-intervene-test session plan within a structured hierarchy of four progressively more challenging civilian driving tasks administered on successive weeks. Participants will drive local roads and highways familiar to Veterans Affairs - Palo Alto Health Care System Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialists (CDRS). These courses have known characteristics as regards civilian driving challenges and OEF/OIF-relevant "trigger" stimuli. Graduation from one course to the next will take place only with permission from the CDRS who has accompanied the participant on the prior exercise. Based upon their self-reports of driving-related distress, we expect such distress to arise during the driving exercises. At such times, participants will be instructed to park in the next available safe parking location. They will be induced to rapidly achieve reduced autonomic arousal through use of a graphics-rich biofeedback procedure and simultaneously engage in the generation and rehearsal of cognitive reappraisal scripts under the coaching of project therapist also in the vehicle. These individualized procedures are expected to quickly lower emotional reactivity to subjectively adverse driving events and conditions. The participant will then drive the course a second time. Each session will finish with a graphical comparison of pre- and post-intervention vehicle and control surface movement parameters, visual attentional control, autonomic arousal and subjective driving distress.
BACKGROUND: The injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle is an important method for improving hypertrophy. However, some patients may experience adverse reactions, such as sagging of the lower jaw. Therefore, we proposed a method of injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter and platysma muscles that would reduce masseter size and enhance the jawline.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to reduce the masseter size while enhancing the jawline.
METHODS: Twenty patients received botulinum toxin injections into the masseter and platysma muscles. Pain levels were evaluated with the visual analog scale. All patients were photographed before and 6 months after treatment. Evaluations were performed based on standardized criteria. The lift index, reduction index, and symmetry index were performed to assess the degree of jawline elevation, masseter size reduction, and jawline symmetry before and after treatment.
RESULTS: The mean visual analog scale score of the 20 patients was 2.80 (±1.24). The mean lift index score decreased from 4.93 (±0.34) to 4.53 (±0.37), P < .05. The mean reduction index score decreased from 3.13 (±0.27) to 2.74 (±0.27), P < .05. The mean symmetry index score changed from 0.0393 (±0.0296) to 0.0257 (±0.0246), P < .05.
CONCLUSIONS: Botulinum toxin injections into the masseter and platysma muscles through nerve block reduced the masseter size, elevated the jawline, and improved symmetry.
Participants are divided into 3 groups based on their diagnosis: diabetes mellitus type 1, diabetes mellitus type 2, and healthy persons. Each participant (independent of group) will have the same examinations. There is no retesting of the same participant in other conditions.
For subjects undergoing damage control and decompressive laparotomy, surgeons frequently elect to keep the abdomen open in anticipation of multiple re-explorations or to prevent and/or treat abdominal compartment syndrome. The eventual goal is to definitively close the abdomen, including the fascia, when medically and surgically safe. The natural tendency with prolonged open abdomen is lateralization of the fascia, making closure of the fascia progressively more difficult as time passes. Though this is subjectively observed in the operating room as increased tension during fascial closure, there is no quantitative data describing how duration of open abdomen affects tension on the abdominal wall. This information has potential implications on the likelihood of successful primary closure, risk of dehiscence, and long term hernia development. This study aims to quantitatively measure the changes in tension of the abdominal wall over time in subjects with an open abdomen. A tensiometer will be used to measure the tension needed to approximate each side of the abdominal fascia to midline with each re-exploration until definitive abdominal wall closure.
Currently, the differentiation between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not straightforward, and the features of both types of diabetes coexist in one subject. This situation triggered the need to discriminate so-called double diabetes (DD), hybrid diabetes or type 1.5 diabetes, which is generally described as the presence of the insulin resistance characteristic of metabolic syndrome in individuals diagnosed with T1D. DD not only raises the question of proper classification of diabetes but is also associated with a significantly greater risk of developing micro- and macroangiopathic complications, which was independent of glycaemic control. When considering the global obesity pandemic and increasing incidence of T1D, the prevalence of DD may also presumably increase. Therefore, it is of the highest priority to discover the mechanisms underlying the development of DD and to identify appropriate methods to prevent or treat DD. In this article, we describe how the definition of double diabetes has changed over the years and how it is currently defined. We discuss the accuracy of including metabolic syndrome in the DD definition. We also present possible hypotheses connecting insulin resistance with T1D and propose possible methods to identify individuals with double diabetes based on indirect insulin resistance markers, which are easily assessed in everyday clinical practice. Moreover, we discuss adjuvant therapy which may be considered in double diabetic patients.
In the first stage, subjects were randomly assigned to receive Pregabalin 450 mg/day. Study was stopped after stage 1 by sponsor.
