INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious postoperative complication associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Identifying patients at risk for AKI is important for risk stratification and management. This study aimed to develop an AKI risk prediction model for colectomy and determine if the operative approach (laparoscopic versus open) alters the influence of predictive factors through an interaction term analysis.
METHODS: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was analyzed from 2005 to 2019. Patients undergoing laparoscopic and open colectomy were identified and propensity score matched. Multivariable logistic regression identified significant preoperative demographic, comorbidity, and laboratory value predictors of AKI. The predictive ability of a baseline model consisting of these variables was compared to a proposed model incorporating interaction terms between operative approach and predictor variables using the likelihood ratio test, c-statistic, and Brier score. Shapley Additive Explanations values assessed relative importance of significant predictors.
RESULTS: 252,372 patients were included in the analysis. Significant AKI predictors were hypertension, age, sex, race, body mass index, smoking, diabetes, preoperative sepsis, Congestive heart failure, preoperative creatinine, preoperative albumin, and operative approach (P < 0.001). The proposed model with interaction terms had improved predictive ability per the likelihood ratio test (P < 0.05) but had no statistically significant interaction terms. C-statistic and Brier scores did not improve. Shapley Additive Explanations analysis showed hypertension had the highest importance. The importance of age and diabetes showed some variation between operative approaches.
CONCLUSIONS: While the inclusion of interaction terms collectively improved AKI prediction, no individual operative approach interaction terms were significant. Including operative approach interactions may enhance predictive ability of AKI risk models for colectomy.
The principal pharmacological action of nitroglycerin is relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Although venous effects predominate, nitroglycerin produces, in a dose-related manner, dilation of both arterial and venous beds. Dilation of postcapillary vessels, including large veins, promotes peripheral pooling of blood, decreases venous return to the heart, and reduces left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (preload). Nitroglycerin also produces arteriolar relaxation, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and arterial pressure (afterload), and dilates large epicardial coronary arteries; however, the extent to which this latter effect contributes to the relief of exertional angina is unclear.

Therapeutic doses of nitroglycerin may reduce systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure. Effective coronary perfusion pressure is usually maintained, but can be compromised if blood pressure falls excessively, or increased heart rate decreases diastolic filling time.

Elevated central venous and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures, and pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance are also reduced by nitroglycerin therapy. Heart rate is usually slightly increased, presumably due to a compensatory response to the fall in blood pressure. Cardiac index may be increased, decreased, or unchanged. Myocardial oxygen consumption or demand (as measured by the pressure-rate product, tension-time index, and stroke-work index) is decreased and a more favorable supply-demand ratio can be achieved. Patients with elevated left ventricular filling pressures and increased systemic vascular resistance in association with a depressed cardiac index are likely to experience an improvement in cardiac index. In contrast, when filling pressures and cardiac index are normal, cardiac index may be slightly reduced following nitroglycerin administration.

Consistent with the symptomatic relief of angina, digital plethysmography indicates that onset of the vasodilatory effect occurs approximately 1 to 3 minutes after sublingual nitroglycerin administration and reaches a maximum by 5 minutes postdose. Effects persist for at least 25 minutes following nitroglycerin administration.
All patients will answer a questionnaire at admission, before surgery and 24 hours later. the questionnaires will evaluate anxiety and stress measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) without intervention.
The invention discloses an electro-acupuncture treatment system and a data optimization method thereof. The embodiments relate to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment equipment. The patient's pre-treatment evaluation data information is entered through a patient-end device, based on an AI algorithm program of an evaluation device and/or an intelligent computing device. Through further inquiries or diagnostic information, and the pre-treatment evaluation data based on the input data of the patient-side equipment may be continuously improved. Finally, the historical data information in the database may be combined to generate diagnostic information suitable for the user and use the stimulation wave to customize the equipment to transform it into the treatment plan information which may be sent to the patients device after confirmation by doctors and other professionals. Then the stimulation device may act on the human body. The above process may continuously optimize the data, and finally generate different treatment plan data for different individuals.
For each of the groups in Cohort 4, Group 4a (younger) and Group 4b (older age),the SRT may recommend a dose specified by the dosing scenarios in the protocol, based on their review of all available safety data. The SRT will use the same approach, independently, to select the dose levels for older participants (Group 4b) and younger participants (Group 4a).

BACKGROUND: Tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) aspiration (FBA) is a life-threatening emergency mostly observed in childhood and advanced age. With early diagnosis, the FB can be removed using bronchoscopic methods without causing irreversible damage.
METHODS: This was a single-center, retrospective observational study. Subjects diagnosed with FBA via either bronchoscopic methods and/or radiological findings, having no medical history of aspirated FB, and who were detected to have aspirated FB for longer than 30 days were included in the study. Medical records and radiological and bronchoscopic findings of the subjects were investigated from the hospital information database system.
RESULTS: Of the 255 patients with FBA, 17.6% (N = 45) were diagnosed late. The mean age was 53 y; 28% were female, and 60% of the subjects had a history of ever smoking. The estimated residence time of the FB in the bronchial system was 22.8 months. The most common complaints were cough and shortness of breath. Forty-two percent of the aspirated FBs were organic material. FB artifact could be observed in 6.7% of posteroanterior chest radiographs and 65% of thorax computed tomography (CT) scans. Rigid bronchoscopy had been primarily preferred as therapeutic interventional procedure. It was also found that the artifact most frequently resided in the right bronchial system and was most commonly found in the right lower lobe, while granulation tissue was formed in 85% of the subjects.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present study demonstrate that subjects tended to forget the FBA, leading to insidious respiratory system symptoms, with recurrent infections. In cases with an endobronchial mass lesion image on thorax CT, clinicians should consider the possibility of FBA. Delayed diagnosis of both organic and inorganic FB may cause granulation tissue.

Peptides having a Can fI or Can fII activity can be used in compositions suitable for pharmaceutical administration or methods of diagnosing sensitivity to dog dander.
Dependence

Physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. There have been case reports of withdrawal, ranging from mild to severe, following discontinuation of illicit use of GHB at frequent repeated doses (18 g to 250 g per day) in excess of the recommended dosage range. Signs and symptoms of GHB withdrawal following abrupt discontinuation included insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, psychosis, lethargy, nausea, tremor, sweating, muscle cramps, tachycardia, headache, dizziness, rebound fatigue and sleepiness, confusion, and, particularly in the case of severe withdrawal, visual hallucinations, agitation, and delirium. These symptoms generally abated in 3 to 14 days. In cases of severe withdrawal, hospitalization may be required. In the clinical trial experience with Xyrem in narcolepsy/cataplexy patients at recommended doses, two patients reported anxiety and one reported insomnia following abrupt discontinuation at the termination of the clinical trial; in the two patients with anxiety, the frequency of cataplexy had increased markedly at the same time. In the XYWAV clinical trial in adult narcolepsy/cataplexy patients at recommended doses, one patient reported insomnia following abrupt discontinuation of XYWAV. In the XYWAV clinical trial in adult idiopathic hypersomnia patients at recommended doses, six patients reported insomnia, two patients reported early insomnia, and one patient reported visual and auditory hallucinations following abrupt discontinuation of XYWAV.

Tolerance

Tolerance is a physiological state characterized by a reduced response to a drug after repeated administration (i.e., a higher dose of a drug is required to produce the same effect that was once obtained at a lower dose). Tolerance to XYWAV has not been systematically studied in controlled clinical trials. There have been some case reports of symptoms of tolerance developing after illicit use at dosages far in excess of the recommended XYWAV dosage regimen. Clinical studies of sodium oxybate in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal suggest a potential cross-tolerance with alcohol. The safety and effectiveness of XYWAV in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal have not been established.
PURPOSE: This qualitative study (GSK study: 213635) was designed to better understand sleep disturbance as experienced by individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and the relationship between sleep disturbance and pain and other aspects of the disease and disease activity.
METHODS: Sixty-minute, one-on-one, concept elicitation interviews were conducted with 30 participants (15 with RA and 15 with axSpA) from the US. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Interview transcripts were coded and analyzed to explore themes related to pain and sleep disturbance, and relationships among those themes.
RESULTS: Pain was a prominent driver of sleep disturbance; 12 participants with RA (80%) and 14 with axSpA (93%) reported that pain impacted their ability to fall asleep, while all 15 with RA (100%) and 14 with axSpA (93%) reported that pain impacted their ability to stay asleep. Two-thirds of participants with RA (67%) or axSpA (60%) described a bi-directional relationship, whereby pain worsened sleep disturbance and sleep disturbance further aggravated pain. Factors other than pain, such as fatigue and emotional health, were also reported as important contributors to sleep disturbance (RA: n = 12/15, 80%; axSpA: n = 14/15, 93%). Participants with RA or axSpA described complex interconnections between fatigue, emotional health, pain, and sleep, often labeling these relationships as "vicious cycles". Notably, half of all participants reported sleep disturbance occurring without pain or other understood causes.
CONCLUSION: These perspectives collected from people with RA or axSpA suggest that reducing sleep disruption directly may offer clinically relevant benefits.
This is a prospective, double-blind, multicentered, randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in decreasing the time to union of scaphoid non-unions after operative fixation as measured by serial CT scanning. Multiple centers across Canada will be involved in the study. Blinding will include patients, surgeons, research assistants, as well as all data handlers and analysts until trial completion or mid-term analysis. Baseline demographics including age, hand dominance, work status and medical co-morbidities of the patients will be collected to allow for comparison of the groups to ensure similarity.

Patients will be identified during clinic appointment for the initial consultation for surgical fixation of their scaphoid non-union. Patients consenting to surgical fixation will be assessed for inclusion and exclusion criteria and, if appropriate, will be consented and evaluated for baseline range of motion, grip strength, SF-36, DASH and both resting and activity VAS scores. Pre-operative radiographs will be assessed for the degree of wrist arthritis present. No restrictions will be placed on the selection or scheduling of surgical procedures, but the use of other adjuvants such as bone morphogenic protein will be limited.

Bioventus will provide visually identical active and sham Exogen 4000 units. The units will undergo randomization and will be given consecutively numbered labels. Devices will be securely stored at each clinical study center. All clinical centers and personnel involved will be blinded to the randomization. Two weeks post-operatively subjects will attend the cast clinics and be assigned the next sequential device. The device will be applied through a window cut into the standardized cast with a center point over the anatomic snuffbox. This cast will remain in place until the fracture is united on CT or 7 weeks at a minimum.

Treatment will be self-administered for 20 minutes once daily by the patients. The device will be equipped with a system to document compliance with the treatment. Treatment will continue until the subject has greater than 50% cortical bridging on CT scanning with multi-planar reconstruction. Union will be confirmed by both an orthopedic surgeon and an independent musculoskeletal radiologist. Treatment will also be terminated if the subject continues to have non-union present at 6 months postoperatively. Subjects will be assessed for trabecular bridging using serial CT scans until the union is documented. CT scans will take place every 4-6 weeks until union is established. Standard scaphoid and wrist radiographs will be completed within 1 week of the CT scan. Patients who do not have documented union will be classified as persistent non-unions but will be asked to continue and attend clinical follow-ups until 1 year. Patients will be required to attend follow up visits at 2, 8, 12, 16, 24, 52 and 104 weeks for functional assessments. Patients requiring additional surgery such as bone grafting as deemed necessary by their treating surgeon will be scheduled at the surgeon's discretion and the surgery will be recorded as a trial adverse event.

Virologic relapse occurs within 1 to 2 years of antiretroviral therapy in up to 50 percent of HIV-infected individuals. The best treatment approach for patients who experience virologic rebound while on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has not been defined. Current guidelines recommend switching to a new treatment regimen shortly after virologic rebound in an effort to avoid sequential accumulation of multiple resistance mutations. However, early treatment switching has numerous disadvantages: risk of virologic rebound on the new therapy, a limited number of drug combinations available to treat such rebounds, and difficulty in obtaining early genotypic and phenotypic drug-resistance information to guide treatment modification. Delaying a switch to a new antiretroviral regimen has the advantage of preserving future treatment options, and HIV levels may remain partially suppressed even after drug-resistant mutants emerge. Moreover, several observational studies describe maintenance of immunologic and clinical benefits of HAART even after virologic rebound. Delayed treatment switches, however, raise concerns about sequential accumulation of drug resistance mutations that may diminish the chances of viral resuppression with successive HAART regimens, and the long-term immune consequences of virologic rebound on HAART are not known. It is therefore important to evaluate the viral and immunologic responses among patients randomized to either an early or delayed HAART switch.

This study enrolls patients who have a viral load of at least 200, but less than 10,000 copies/ml. The patients are randomized into 2 treatment arms. Arm A (immediate switch) patients have genotypic resistance testing at entry. Based on the resistance test results, their antiretroviral treatment regimen is modified to a switch treatment regimen. Switch treatment initiates no later than Week 4. Arm B (delayed switch) patients continue their current antiretroviral regimen and have genotypic resistance testing when their plasma HIV-1 RNA levels reach 10,000 copies/ml or greater. Based on the resistance test results, their antiretroviral treatment regimen is modified to a switch treatment regimen. Switch treatment initiates no later than 4 weeks from the date of at least 10,000 copies/ml viral load, or from the date of an absolute CD4 count reduced by 20 percent from baseline value. Patients who never meet the switch criteria remain on study.

All patients are followed for a minimum of 48 weeks after entry. No antiretroviral drugs are provided by the study.
Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disease. It is a multisystemic metabolic disease caused by GBA pathogenic mutations. Although the general symptoms have been known for a long time, new treatment possibilities, the detection of different biomarkers, and innovations in diagnosis and follow-up have paved the way for further studies. Recent studies have shown that the immune system has become an essential factor associated with disease progression. The role of Gaucher cells in the disease is well characterized. In addition to phagocytic macrophage cells, lymphocytes, complement system, and inflammatory pathway elements are also implicated in GD as they were shown to be the underlying factors causing associated pathologies such as Parkinson's. In this article, the relationship between the GD and the immune system has been examined and reviewed in light of new findings.
