This is a randomized (study drug is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the treatment that the participants receives), placebo-controlled, multi-center (when more than 1 hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study) study with a parallel-group design (a medical research study comparing the response in 2 or more groups of participants receiving different treatments) study of prucalopride. This study consist of 3 phases: a 2 weeks drug-free screening or run in phase, a 12-week treatment phase and follow-up (post-treatment) phase performed 7 days following the last dose of study drug. The total duration of study will be approximately 15 to 20 weeks, including the run-in and post-treatment phases. During the run-in phase, participants will receive laxative (bisacodyl) as a rescue medication throughout the study, if they will not have bowel movement (BM) for 3 or more consecutive days. If participants will not be able to tolerate bisacodyl, an enema may be used in place of the bisacodyl. During the double-blind treatment phase, participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups to receive either 2 milligram (mg) prucalopride or matching placebo prucalopride for 12 weeks, orally once daily. Participants will be primarily assessed for spontaneous complete bowel movements (SCBMs) per week. Participant's safety and quality of life will be monitored throughout the study.
Patient participants in this study will be randomized 1:1 to either enhanced usual care or the adapted CETA intervention. Enhanced usual care will include provision of feedback about psychiatric diagnoses to the HIV provider and the clinic's behavioral health team for follow-up according to the clinic's standard care. Participants randomized to the adapted CETA arm will initiate CETA with the trained counselor. The number of CETA sessions will depend on the patient's presentation but will range from 7-13 weekly in-person 1-hour sessions.Before randomization, enrolled participants will complete a baseline assessment including sociodemographic information; self-reported health; standardized assessments of depressive, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms and substance use; and key related structural and psychosocial factors including housing stability,intimate partner violence (IPV), other violence in the home, coping, social support, and experiences of stigma related to mental health.

Participants in the Enhanced Contact arm will complete a follow-up research assessment at 3 months post baseline.Participants in the adapted CETA arm will complete this assessment after the final CETA session,also expected to be at approximately 3 months post-baseline. All participants will complete a final research assessment at 9 months post-baseline (approximately 6 months post-treatment exit for those in the adapted CETA arm). These follow-up assessments will assess the same domains as the baseline assessment.
Naloxone Hydrochloride Injection, USP may be diluted for intravenous infusion in normal saline or 5% dextrose solutions.

After 24 hours, the remaining unused mixture must be discarded. The rate of administration should be titrated in accordance with the patient’s response.

Naloxone Hydrochloride Injection, USP should not be mixed with preparations containing bisulfite, metabisulfite, long-chain or high molecular weight anions, or any solution having an alkaline pH. No drug or chemical agent should be added to Naloxone Hydrochloride Injection, USP unless its effect on the chemical and physical stability of the solution has first been established.
The present invention describes a unique method of treating cancer with the administration of an improved DAGRS™ construct which functions as a humanized agent specifically targeting cancer cells in vivo. A specific DAGRS™ is described constructed of a humanized drug delivery biologic, carboxyl to an Apoptin fragment consisting of Apoptin's proline-rich SH3-binding fragment, a spacer, and a MAP kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation site, in replacement of the SH3-binding domain at HIV-1 TAT's amino terminus. Apoptin is a viral protein with incumbent immunogenicity and toxicity in humans. Improved DAGRS™ constructs are described that replace the viral VP3 peptide with human AKT peptide or derivative, all equivalently spaced 11 amino acids from the initial proline to the beginning of the MAPK phosphorylation site, through which technology the DAGRS™ is fully humanized. DAGRS™ provide for improved bioavailability, enhanced specific activity, and low toxicity for in vivo treatment of cancer. DAGRS™ are a superior method for targeting any oncogene with an inhibitory peptide. 
     An algorithm for “humanization” is described through which human functional equivalent(s) to viral product(s) are identified by alignment of peptides anchored at each end by matching functional motifs that are spaced equivalently distant in the two aligned peptides. The algorithm totally disregards the primary amino acid composition of the spacer, and as such separates from current computer algorithms that prioritize primary amino acid alignments. Accounting for spacing dictates that functional domains be oriented correctly in three dimensions. The invention taught here can be developed into computer algorithms for rapidly identifying these anchored alignments, and thereafter developing safe humanized drugs from disruptive viral activities. Computers once taught the basic rules for anchoring equivalents, can improve on the basic algorithm through artificial intelligence to expand drug development.
In group 1, plasenta is removed manually. Manual removal of the placenta will be performed by placing surgeon's dominant hand in the uterine cavity and removing the placenta by detaching it from the uterine wall as soon as possible after the delivery of the infant. The emptiness of the uterine cavity is verified manually.
The vital heat vH2 system consists of a Control Unit containing the heating system and the vacuum generation pump which connects via an umbilical containing the fluid and vacuum tubing to the Warming Sleeve. The Control Unit also contains the user interface and alarm management systems. The disposable Warming Sleeve consists of a manifold attached to the warming pads and a polyurethane pouch (Vacuum Sleeve) that are placed over the patient's hand and forearm and secured with tape. The Warming Sleeve manifold contains connectors for the fluid and vacuum tubing contained in the umbilical. The vital heat vH2 System will be used for patient warming during these surgical procedures. Monitoring of core temperature via esophageal probe will be done for the purpose of data collection.
Exercise as a lifestyle modification is a frontline therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but how components of exercise attenuate steatosis is unclear. To uncouple the effect of increased muscle mass from weight loss in obesity, myostatin knockout mice were bred on a lean and obese db/db background. Myostatin deletion increases gastrocnemius (Gastrocn.) mass and reduces hepatic steatosis and hepatic sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (Srebp1) expression in obese mice, with no impact on adiposity or body weight. Interestingly, hypermuscularity reduces hepatic NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1) expression but not NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) in db/db mice. To evaluate a deterministic function of Nox1 on steatosis, Nox1 knockout mice were bred on a lean and db/db background. NOX1 deletion significantly attenuates hepatic oxidant stress, steatosis, and Srebp1 programming in obese mice to parallel hypermuscularity, with no improvement in adiposity, glucose control, or hypertriglyceridemia to suggest off-target effects. Directly assessing the role of NOX1 on SREBP1, insulin (Ins)-mediated SREBP1 expression was significantly increased in either NOX1, NADPH oxidase organizer 1 (NOXO1), and NADPH oxidase activator 1 (NOXA1) or NOX5-transfected HepG2 cells versus ?-galactosidase control virus, indicating superoxide is the key mechanistic agent for the actions of NOX1 on SREBP1. Metabolic Nox1 regulators were evaluated using physiological, genetic, and diet-induced animal models that modulated upstream glucose and insulin signaling, identifying hyperinsulinemia as the key metabolic derangement explaining Nox1-induced steatosis in obesity. GEO data revealed that hepatic NOX1 predicts steatosis in obese humans with biopsy-proven NAFLD. Taken together, these data suggest that hypermuscularity attenuates Srebp1 expression in db/db mice through a NOX1-dependent mechanism.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study documents a novel mechanism by which changes in body composition, notably increased muscle mass, protect against fatty liver disease. This mechanism involves NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1), an enzyme that increases superoxide and increases insulin signaling, leading to increased fat accumulation in the liver. NOX1 may represent a new early target for preventing fatty liver to stave off later liver diseases such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the interest of individuals with recent stroke in robotic therapy. Investigators will introduce a novel robotic platform to train ADLs of stroke patients. Investigators will examine the usability of this device as a home trainer for training rotational hand manipulation tasks such as opening a pickle jar, turning a key, missing a pot with a ladle, etc. The device will especially target stroke patients with ischemic stroke to enhance the performance of ADL. Also, investigators will examine the frequency and dosage of the current occupational therapy, followed by the satisfaction of the current therapy. Participant's participation will contribute to the development of a new therapy method using a robotic device for home-based training.
Cantú syndrome (CS), a multisystem disease with a complex cardiovascular phenotype, is caused by gain-of-function (GoF) variants in the Kir6.1/SUR2 subunits of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels and is characterized by low systemic vascular resistance, as well as tortuous, dilated, vessels, and decreased pulse-wave velocity. Thus, CS vascular dysfunction is multifactorial, with both hypomyotonic and hyperelastic components. To dissect whether such complexities arise cell autonomously within vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) or as secondary responses to the pathophysiological milieu, we assessed electrical properties and gene expression in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived VSMCs (hiPSC-VSMCs), differentiated from control and CS patient-derived hiPSCs, and in native mouse control and CS VSMCs. Whole-cell voltage clamp of isolated aortic and mesenteric arterial VSMCs isolated from wild-type (WT) and Kir6.1[V65M] (CS) mice revealed no clear differences in voltage-gated K+ (Kv) or Ca2+ currents. Kv and Ca2+ currents were also not different between validated hiPSC-VSMCs differentiated from control and CS patient-derived hiPSCs. While pinacidil-sensitive KATP currents in control hiPSC-VSMCs were similar to those in WT mouse VSMCs, they were considerably larger in CS hiPSC-VSMCs. Under current-clamp conditions, CS hiPSC-VSMCs were also hyperpolarized, consistent with increased basal K conductance and providing an explanation for decreased tone and decreased vascular resistance in CS. Increased compliance was observed in isolated CS mouse aortae and was associated with increased elastin mRNA expression. This was consistent with higher levels of elastin mRNA in CS hiPSC-VSMCs and suggesting that the hyperelastic component of CS vasculopathy is a cell-autonomous consequence of vascular KATP GoF. The results show that hiPSC-VSMCs reiterate expression of the same major ion currents as primary VSMCs, validating the use of these cells to study vascular disease. Results in hiPSC-VSMCs derived from CS patient cells suggest that both the hypomyotonic and hyperelastic components of CS vasculopathy are cell-autonomous phenomena driven by KATP overactivity within VSMCs .

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manage the relation between the unchanged information and the changed information and also to display the unchanged information as necessary by holding the medical information display information having its unchanged contents and performing the display based on the display information. SOLUTION: A medical information management file 31 manages the display information on the medical information on every patient who is managed by an electronic patient's record device and produces a file per patient. A display information file 32 is shown in a display information file name included in the file 31. Thereby the file 32 also produces a file per patient. A changed information file 33 manages the changing state information contained in the changed medical information display information. The changing state information is managed for every medical information display information and shows one of uncorrected, addition, deletion, correction/deletion and correction/addition states. Thus, the relation is managed between the unchanged information and the changed information.
BACKGROUND: Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may slow down the progression of aortic stenosis (AS) through their antifibrotic effect. Women present more valvular fibrosis than men, so ARBs may have more effect in females. Our aim was to assess the impact of ARBs on the remodelling of the aortic valve in men and women.
METHODS: We included patients who had an aortic valve replacement with or without coronary bypass grafting from 2006 to 2013. Patients with missing echocardiographic or histologic data were excluded. Warren-Yong and fibrosis scores of the explanted valves were performed. Patients were divided into 4 phenotypes according to their Warren-Yong and fibrosis scores: mild calcification/fibrosis, severe calcification/fibrosis group, predominant fibrosis group, predominant calcification group.
RESULTS: Among the 1321 included patients, the vast majority (89%) has severe AS. Patients in the predominant fibrosis group, compared with the predominant calcium group, were more often female (39% vs 31%; P = 0.008) with bicuspid valves (44% vs 34%; P = 0.002), and less often used ARBs (25% vs 30%; P = 0.046). Female sex was independently associated with being in the predominant fibrosis group (odds ratio 1.45, 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.95; P = 0.01), with a significant interaction between female sex and ARBs. Women taking ARBs compared with women not taking ARBs had significantly lower fibrosis scores (P < 0.001). This difference was not seen in men.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large series of patients with moderate-severe AS, among the women there was a negative association between intake of ARBs and valvular fibrosis. Thus, the possible effects of ARBs may be sex specific, with a larger therapeutic role in women.
INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a significant cause of perioperative stroke in aortic and mitral valve surgeries. Although several large studies have evaluated surgical left atrial appendage occlusion (SLAAO) during cardiac surgeries, their retrospective nature and an uncontrolled broad spectrum of conditions leave them subject to potential residual confounding. This trial aims to test the hypothesis that opportunistic SLAAO can prevent long-term stroke after cardiac surgery in patients receiving mitral or aortic valve surgeries without a history of AF and with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2 or higher.
METHODS AND DESIGN: This study is a single-blinded, multicentre, randomised controlled trial. A total of 2118 patients planning to undergo aortic or mitral surgery without AF will be recruited and equally randomised into intervention or control arms at a 1:1 ratio. In the intervention arm, suture excision of the left atrial appendage (LAA) will be performed during the operation in addition to the original surgery plan. In the control arm, the operation will be performed according to the surgery plan without any intervention on the LAA. The primary outcome is a composite of newly occurred ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack and cardiovascular mortality during a 1-year follow-up. Secondary outcomes include postoperative AF, cardiovascular mortality, newly occurred ischaemic stroke, newly occurred transient ischaemic attack, newly occurred haemorrhagic stroke, bleeding events, and AF-associated health utilisation.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Ethics Committee in Fuwai Hospital approved this study. Patients will give informed consent to the study. An information leaflet will be provided to participating patients to introduce the SLAAO procedure. Patients and the public will not get involved in developing the research hypothesis, study design or any other part of this protocol. We plan to publish several papers in peer-reviewed journals about the current research and these will include a description of the study's development and the main findings of the study.
TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2100042238.
Patients will receive AZD9150 once weekly (QW) + durvalumab every three weeks (Q3W) + Cisplatin on Day 1 + 5-flourouracil (5-FU) on Days 1 to 4. This regimen will be repeated every 3 weeks for up to 18 weeks. There will be a 1 week AZD9150 + chemotherapy lead-in prior to durvalumab dosing.
This study is being conducted to provide information to develop dosing recommendations for tucatinib in subjects with hepatic impairment. The current study will be carried out in subjects with hepatic impairment according to 3 different Child-Pugh (CP) categories (Mild, Moderate, and Severe impairment), and in matched-control healthy subjects. The minimum number of matched-control healthy subjects will be enrolled in order to ensure that each hepatically-impaired subject has a healthy match. Each matched-control healthy subject will be enrolled following the enrollment of a Mild and/or Moderate and/or Severe hepatic impairment subject and will be matched by age (+/- 10 years), by BMI (+/- 20%), and by sex to the enrolled hepatic impairment subject(s). Each healthy subject may be matched with up to 1 subject within each hepatic impairment group. Based on these criteria, with 3 cohorts of 8 hepatically-impaired subjects enrolled in the study, the number of healthy control subjects required to be enrolled will be at least 8 and not more than 24.
This study will obtain human lung samples by bronchoscopy from a range of asthmatics and healthy controls to address questions related to the mechanisms for the development of the complex immune processes observed in the lungs. Samples will be evaluated for Type-1, Type-2 and Interleukin-27 (IL-27) expression (and their downstream signatures). In addition, these samples will be evaluated for the presence or absence of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) as a counter regulatory pathway. These pathways will be directly evaluated in epithelial brushings and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells, as well as BAL fluid. Broad gene expression profiling (Ribonucleic acid (RNA)-sequencing) will also be performed to determine the range of immune-inflammatory markers present in these severe asthmatics. Investigators will specifically address the Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) signaling pathways, particularly STAT-1 and STAT-3 to determine the pattern of activation and downstream responses to develop new therapies. Additionally, in a subset, investigators will compare targeted and untargeted gene expression as obtained from bronchoscopic samples with expression obtained from clinically performed video assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) biopsies of very severe systemic corticosteroid dependent patients. The ultimate goal of this studies is to determine whether a predictive biomarker panel can be identified in the less invasive bronchoscopic samples which predict the findings seen on VATS biopsy.
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is one of the main obstacles to successful transplantation, including ABO blood group-incompatible (ABOi) transplantation. C4 d  deposition is a marker of ABMR and is also found in most ABOi allograft tissues. Described herein are anti-C4 d  CAR Tregs that suppress ABMR in ABOi allografts. Anti-C4 d  CAR Tregs prepared by retroviral transduction of CAR into CD62L +CD4 +CD25 +Tregs, expressed Foxp3, CD25, CTLA-4, LAP, and GITR to similar extents as non-transduced Tregs. Anti-C4 d  CAR Tregs were activated by specific binding to C4 d  and suppressed in vitro T cell proliferation as well as non-transduced Tregs. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of anti-C4 d  CAR Tregs significantly prolonged mouse ABOi heart allograft survival (P<0.05).
Systems and methods for associating cellular constituents with a cellular process of interest are provided. Constituent vectors comprising abundances for a first plurality of cells representing annotated cell states are formed and used to obtain a latent representation of constituent modules having subsets of constituents. A constituent count data structure comprising abundances of the constituents for a second plurality of cells representing covariates of interest is obtained. An activation data structure is formed by combining the latent representation and the constituent count data structure, using constituents as a common dimension. A model is trained using a difference between the predicted and actual absence or presence of each covariate in each cellular constituent module represented in the activation data structure, thus adjusting covariate weights indicating a correlation between covariates and constituent modules across the activation data structure. The covariate weights are used to identify constituent modules associated with covariates of interest.
