This is prospective, short-duration, open-label, single-arm, repeat-dose, pharmacokinetic study of daily FTC/TDF PrEP among HIV-uninfected lactating mother-infant pairs. PrEP will be administered to women through daily directly observed therapy for 10 consecutive days - sufficient to reach steady-state but discontinuing thereafter. No drug will be administered to the infant directly. Co-formulated FTC and TDF were dosed at 200 mg daily and 300 mg daily, respectively. The overall goal is to quantify the magnitude and degree to which breastfeeding infants are exposed to FTC/TDF when used as PrEP by HIV-uninfected lactating women. Maternal blood and breastmilk samples will be obtained concurrently (i.e., within 30 minutes of each other) regardless of the timing of food intake (i.e., non-fasting) on the 7th and 10th day. Peak samples will be obtained 1-2 hours after the maternal directly observed PrEP and trough samples were obtained at the end of the dosing interval (i.e., 23 to 24 hours after directly observed PrEP dose). A single infant blood sample will be obtained after the maternal 7th directly observed PrEP dose.

We will conduct quantitative measurements and analyses of infant plasma drug concentrations, infant-plasma to breastmilk and breastmilk to maternal plasma drug concentration ratios to characterize FTC and TDF transmission to breast feeding infants. Tenofovir and emtricitabine concentrations in plasma and breastmilk will be quantified via previously validated liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) methods in accordance with the recommendations included in the US Food and Drug Administration, Guidance for Industry, Bioanalytical Method Validation guidelines.
Lumbar disc herniation causes patients severe lower back pain and radicular pain to decrease the quality of life and lead to great economic burden to patients and society. In recent years, full endoscopic discectomy has been widely used in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation due to its advantages of reduced trauma, enhanced recovery and less cost. However, the reherniation of the residual nucleus pulposus still exist after nerve root decompression. It is urgent to use stem cell and tissue engineering to replace the resection tissue and repair the residual nucleus pulposus for disc resealing. To observe the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in the treatment of lumbar disc degeneration. This clinical trial is aimed to include a single group of 20 patients with lumbar disc herniation. Twenty million hUCMSCs will be injected into the lumbar disc of the enrolled patients in this non-random, self-controlled and single-dose open study design. The patients will be followed up for 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the injection to evaluate the safety of the patients after grafting hUCMSCs. Additionally, improvement of patients' quality of life will be evaluated using the ODI score, VAS score and SF-36 score. Lumbar disc signals will be also quantified using MRI to demonstrate hUCMSCs transplantation could slow down lumbar disc degeneration.
Spina Bifida is rare disease related to a failure of the closure of neural tube during the embryonic period. This malformation results in a variety of clinical disorders (neurologic, urologic, orthopedic, anorectal), depending on the level of the spinal cord lesion. Anorectal functional disorders remain underestimated and unknown from a pathophysiological point of view with subsequent uncodified therapeutic strategy.

Patients with Spina Bifida always present autonomic neuropathy that contributes partially to the anorectal disorders. These disorders may be related to a closed relationship between autonomic and enteric nervous system. Both nervous systems play a key role in anorectal disorders during others neurological disaeses have a common and simultaneous development from neural crest and induce colonic epithelial changes related to the closed connection between epithelial barrier and enteric nervous system. All of this remains hypothetic because no data regarding the impairment of enteric nervous system and epithelial barrier are available and no study are ongoing on this topic.
The invention relates to a tonic wine, in particular to a tonic wine prepared from Chinese herbal medicines. The invention aims to overcome the disadvantage of the traditional tonic wines that various components are soaked in the tonic wine to cause dry feces. The tonic wine is prepared on the basis of the traditional Chinese medicine and a hereditary secret formula. A component A is a filtered fluid extracted from a soaking solution of deer embryo, neddy kidney, polyporus lucidus, camplotheca acuminate, dogwood and the like; a component B is a filtered fluid extracted from a soaking solution of carbonized human hair, pawpaw, coralbean bark, lopseed and the like; and a component C is prepared by blending distilled water extracted from liquorice, herba agastachis rugosae, rhizoma drynaria, fructus tsaoko and the like. The tonic wine is an improvement and an optimization. On the basis of strengthening healthy qi, refreshing mind, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, resisting tumor and clearing away viruses in human bodies, and on the basis of optimizing the components A and B, and adding the component C to increase the flavor and the efficacies of the wine, the taste of the wine is improved, and the tonic wine is suitable for more people to drink.
Over the past 15 years, the Behavioral Psychopharmacology Research Lab at McLean Hospital has extensively studied kudzu extract and demonstrated its safety and efficacy in healthy control subjects as well as in heavy binge drinkers. The relative success of our recent outpatient trial of kudzu extract demonstrated a modest decrease in drinking, reduction in the number of heavy drinking days, and significant increase in the number of days abstinent. This suggests that Alkontrol-herbal, kudzu extract, may be a useful adjunct in treating alcohol use disorders.

Participants will enroll in a 14-week study (2 weeks of baseline, 8 weeks of treatment, and 4 weeks of follow-up) investigating the impact that Alkontrol-herbal has on alcohol intake in a population (age 21-60 years) seeking treatment for an alcohol use disorder. Participants will take 500 mg of a crude kudzu extract (NPI-031, Alkontrol-herbal; Natural Pharmacia International, Burlington, MA) t.i.d.; matched sugar beet placebo capsules will serve as placebo. Subjects will come to the lab three times a week to provide urine samples that can be tested for medication compliance through a biochemical marker, acetazolamide, included in the medication capsules. Participants will record their alcohol intake through daily diaries and a wrist actigraphy device, which will also monitor their sleep/wake activity.
Benzophenone-3 (also referred to as oxybenzone) is a putative endocrine disrupting chemical and common ingredient in sunscreens and other personal care products. We previously showed that benzophenone-3 was promotional for epithelial tumorigenesis in mice fed adult high-fat diet, while protective against the incidence of more aggressive spindle cell tumors in the same treatment group. In this study, we show that benzophenone-3 reduces epithelial to mesenchymal transition in the epithelial tumors of these mice. This reduction in epithelial to mesenchymal transition is associated with altered expression of several genes involved in regulation of angiogenesis and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Among the genes altered in expression, Timp1 is of particular interest because benzophenone-3 suppressed both migration and Timp1 expression in a mammary tumor cell line that displays epithelial to mesenchymal transition characteristics. These alterations in gene expression plausibly stabilize the vasculature of epithelial carcinomas and contribute to benzophenone-3 promotion of epithelial tumors, while at the same time suppress epithelial to mesenchymal transition and suppress incidence of spindle cell tumors.
Subjects inhaled a single dose of 100 mcg fluticasone propionate and 50 mcg salmeterol xinafoate. This arm is the only arm which is open-label because the inhaler device was different than the MDPI used in the other treatment arms.
Patients receive anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody MPDL3280A IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning on day 1 of course 1, patients also undergo SAR 2-3 times per week (with a minimum of 40 hours and a maximum of 96 hours between fractions) over 1.5-2 weeks for a total of 5 fractions.

An observation unit (OU) and auxiliary observation unit (AOU) sensor are calibrated in relation to an ambient environment. The OU sensor and the AOU sensor are calibrated in relation to an observational subject. Monitoring parameters are established for the calibrated sensors using a receiving unit (RU). Monitoring types are activated using the RU. Data is gathered from the OU sensor and the AOU sensor. A determination is made that the gathered data exceeds the established monitoring parameters. One or more alerts are generated based on the determination.
In vitro enzyme inhibition data did not reveal an inhibitory effect of citalopram on CYP3A4, -2C9, or -2E1, but did suggest that it is a weak inhibitor of CYP1A2, -2D6, and -2C19. Citalopram would be expected to have little inhibitory effect on in vivo metabolism mediated by these enzymes. However, in vivo data to address this question are limited.

CYP3A4 and CYP 2C19 inhibitors: Since CYP3A4 and 2C19 are the primary enzymes involved in the metabolism of citalopram, it is expected that potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, and macrolide antibiotics) and potent inhibitors of CYP2C19 (e.g., omeprazole) might decrease the clearance of citalopram. However, coadministration of citalopram and the potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of citalopram. Citalopram 20 mg/day is the maximum recommended dose in patients taking concomitant cimetidine or another CYP2C19 inhibitor, because of the risk of QT prolongation (see WARNINGS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). 

CYP2D6 Inhibitors: Coadministration of a drug that inhibits CYP2D6 with citalopram is unlikely to have clinically significant effects on citalopram metabolism, based on the study results in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers.
Participants received Abilify MyCite during Months 1-3. During Months 4-6 use of Abilify MyCite was to be prohibited. Thereafter, at Day 180, a second, optional interventional period (up to 6 months of Abilify MyCite) could have been initiated per the joint decision of the participants with their study physician.
METHODS: Investigated the association of multiple cardiometabolic comorbidities with total/major cause-specific mortality and evaluate if this association might be modified by race among predominantly low-income Black and White participants.
METHODS: The Southern Community Cohort Study, prospective cohort study. Participants (40-79 years) recruited predominantly from community health centers across 12 states in southeastern United States. Enrollment began in 2002 and concluded in 2009, follow-up until 2020. Cardiometabolic comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke) ascertained at the baseline survey. Cox proportional hazard models used.
RESULTS: Study included 76,721 participants; 16,197, 41,944, 5,247, and 4,919 participants with prior diagnosis of diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke, respectively at baseline. Compared to individuals with no comorbidity, individuals with any single comorbidity experienced a significantly 30 to 90% increased rate of death due to any causes. The increase in mortality was elevated with an increasing number of comorbidities, with HR of 3.81 (95% CI: 3.26-4.46) and a cumulative risk of 62.5% at age 75 years for total mortality for those with four comorbidities. The risk was high for death due to cardiovascular diseases (HR: 6.18, 95% CI: 5.12-7.47). These associations were stronger among Blacks than Whites. Individuals with four comorbidities at age 40 years were estimated to have a 16-year loss in life expectancy compared with those without any comorbidity.
CONCLUSION: Cardiometabolic comorbidities were associated with increases in all-cause and major cause-specific mortality, particularly Black Americans. This study calls for effective measures to prevent cardiometabolic comorbidities to reduce premature deaths in underserved Americans.

All patients will receive amlodipine/valsartan 5/160 mg daily in screening and up titrated to amlodipine/valsartan 10/160 mg daily at visit 2 (day 30) if their hypertension can not be controlled. The duration of treatment period is 8 weeks.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a disease that often presents as an unresectable tumor. As a result, radiotherapy is the main standard of treatment. Unfortunately, radiotherapy is limited by several factors, including that the lung can move up to 4 cm between inspiration and expiration. As a result, a radiation oncologist often has to widen his treatment field to include for this motion. This leads to greater side effects for the patient. Two techniques that are being explored to improve the tumor control of radiotherapy and to minimize side effects to normal tissues in NSCLC treatment include breath-held gating and tomotherapy. Breath-held gating will allow the investigators to treat patients at the right moment in their breathing cycle consistently - minimizing the normal tissue exposed to radiation. In addition, both gated breathing and tomotherapy will allow the investigators to create a more refined tumor volume treated and exclude more of the normal tissues. Consequently, they hope these methods will prove to be a better way to treat patients with non-resectable NSCLC.
PURPOSE:To provide a local paint capable of suitably stimulating a local area, of instantly giving a remarkably comfortable feeling and of building up and maintaining physical strength only by applying it. CONSTITUTION:This local paint is prepared by blending a Japanese pepper extract obtained from Japanese pepper and composed mainly of stimulants such as sanshool and sanshoamide with a base material composed of a liquid or creamy concentration adjuster. In addition, a sex hormone, a deodorant, a colorant, a perfume, a preservative, a stimulant, etc., are admixed therewith. As the base material, an animal cream such as lard or egg white or a liquid obtained by extracting a nonstimulative fruit containing abundant water, e.g. a dishcloth gourd or a peach or a stimulative plant such as a ginger or a Japanese horseradish is used. Further, e.g. extracts of, e.g. an aromatic and abundantly water-containing fruit such as a lemon or an orange, a pigment-containing flour such as a Cape jasmine and a plant having a medicinal effect such as a silvervine or a garlic are blended.
###  Spasticity of Spinal Cord Origin

There were 16 deaths reported among the 576 U.S. patients treated with intrathecal baclofen in pre- and post-marketing studies evaluated as of December 1992. Because these patients were treated under uncontrolled clinical settings, it is impossible to determine definitively what role, if any, intrathecal baclofen played in their deaths. As a group, the patients who died were relatively young (mean age was 47 with a range from 25 to 63), but the majority suffered from severe spasticity of many years duration, were nonambulatory, had various medical complications such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and decubiti, and/or had received multiple concomitant medications. A case-by-case review of the clinical course of the 16 patients who died failed to reveal any unique signs, symptoms, or laboratory results that would suggest that treatment with intrathecal baclofen caused their deaths. Two patients, however, did suffer sudden and unexpected death within 2 weeks of pump implantation and one patient died unexpectedly after screening. 

One patient, a 44 year-old male with Multiple Sclerosis, died in hospital on the second day following pump implantation. An autopsy demonstrated severe fibrosis of the coronary conduction system. A second patient, a 52 year-old woman with MS and a history of an inferior wall myocardial infarction, was found dead in bed 12 days after pump implantation, 2 hours after having had documented normal vital signs. An autopsy revealed pulmonary congestion and bilateral pleural effusions. It is impossible to determine whether intrathecal baclofen contributed to these deaths. The third patient underwent three baclofen screening trials. His medical history included spinal cord injury, aspiration pneumonia, septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, severe metabolic acidosis, hepatic toxicity, and status epilepticus. Twelve days after screening (he was not implanted), he again experienced status epilepticus with subsequent significant neurological deterioration. Based upon prior instruction, extraordinary resuscitative measures were not pursued and the patient died.

###  Spasticity of Cerebral Origin

There were three deaths occurring among the 211 patients treated with intrathecal baclofen in pre-marketing studies as of March 1996. These deaths were not attributed to the therapy.
BACKGROUND: Navigating the complexity of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) diagnosis and management poses significant challenges, including the need for accurate prediction of disease progression and response to treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a transformative approach that enables the development of sophisticated predictive models and personalized treatment strategies that enhance early detection and improve therapeutic interventions for better patient outcomes.
METHODS: An extensive search was conducted to retrieve relevant articles from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to April 24, 2023. Data were collected using a standardized extraction form, and the results are presented in tables and graphs, showing frequencies and percentages. The authors adhered to the PRISMA-ScR checklist to ensure transparent reporting of the study.
RESULTS: Of the 176 articles initially identified, 12 were selected for our study after removing duplicates and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. AI's primary applications of AI in managing CML included tumor diagnosis/classification (n = 9, 75%), prediction/prognosis (n = 2, 17%), and treatment (n = 1, 8%). For tumor diagnosis, AI is categorized into blood smear image-based (n = 5), clinical parameter-based (n = 2), and gene profiling-based (n = 2) approaches. The most commonly employed AI models include Support Vector Machine (SVM) (n = 5), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) (n = 4), and various neural network methods, such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) (n = 3). Furthermore, Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network with Interactive Autodidactic School (HCNN-IAS) achieved 100% accuracy and sensitivity in organizing leukemia data types, whereas MayGAN attained 99.8% accuracy and high performance in diagnosing CML from blood smear images.
CONCLUSIONS: AI offers groundbreaking insights and tools for enhancing prediction, prognosis, and personalized treatment in chronic myeloid leukemia. Integrated AI systems empower healthcare practitioners with advanced analytics, optimizing patient care and improving clinical outcomes in CML management.
Fungal corneal ulcers tend to have very poor outcomes with commonly used treatments. There has only been a single randomized trial of anti-fungal therapy for mycotic keratitis, and no new ocular anti-fungal medications have been approved by the FDA since the 1960s. The triazole voriconazole has recently become the treatment of choice for systemic fungal infections such as pulmonary aspergillosis. The use of topical ophthalmic preparations of voriconazole has been described in numerous case reports, however there has been no systematic attempt to determine whether it is more or less clinically effective than natamycin. Additionally, there have been many case reports of the use of oral voriconazole in the treatment of fungal corneal ulcers, however there has been no systematic attempt to determine if it improves outcomes in severe ulcers.

This study is a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial to determine if the use natamycin or voriconazole results in better outcomes for fungal corneal ulcers. 368 fungal corneal ulcers with baseline visual acuity between 6/12 (20/40, logMAR 0.3) and 6/120 (20/400, logMAR 1.3) presenting to the Aravind Eye Hospitals and the UCSF Proctor Foundation will be randomized to receive either topical natamycin or topical voriconazole. The primary outcome is best spectacle-corrected logMAR visual acuity three months after enrollment, using best spectacle-corrected enrollment visual acuity as a co-variate.

Mitoxantrone may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant. Mitoxantrone is considered a potential human teratogen because of its mechanism of action and the developmental effects demonstrated by related agents. Treatment of pregnant rats during the organogenesis period of gestation was associated with fetal growth retardation at doses ≥ 0.1 mg/kg/day (0.01 times the recommended human dose on a mg/m 2 basis). When pregnant rabbits were treated during organogenesis, an increased incidence of premature delivery was observed at doses ≥ 0.1 mg/kg/day (0.01 times the recommended human dose on a mg/m 2 basis). No teratogenic effects were observed in these studies, but the maximum doses tested were well below the recommended human dose (0.02 and 0.05 times in rats and rabbits, respectively, on a mg/m 2 basis). There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Women with multiple sclerosis who are biologically capable of becoming pregnant should have a pregnancy test prior to each dose, and the results should be known prior to administration of the drug. If this drug is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential risk to the fetus.
