Memory clinic patients are a heterogeneous population representing various aetiologies of pathological ageing. It is not known whether divergent spatiotemporal progression patterns of brain atrophy, as previously described in Alzheimer's disease patients, are prevalent and clinically meaningful in this group of older adults. To uncover distinct atrophy subtypes, we applied the Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn) algorithm to baseline structural MRI data from 813 participants enrolled in the DELCODE cohort (mean ± standard deviation, age = 70.67 ± 6.07 years, 52% females). Participants were cognitively unimpaired (n = 285) or fulfilled diagnostic criteria for subjective cognitive decline (n = 342), mild cognitive impairment (n = 118) or dementia of the Alzheimer's type (n = 68). Atrophy subtypes were compared in baseline demographics, fluid Alzheimer's disease biomarker levels, the Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite (PACC-5) as well as episodic memory and executive functioning. PACC-5 trajectories over up to 240 weeks were examined. To test whether baseline atrophy subtype and stage predicted clinical trajectories before manifest cognitive impairment, we analysed PACC-5 trajectories and mild cognitive impairment conversion rates of cognitively unimpaired participants and those with subjective cognitive decline. Limbic-predominant and hippocampal-sparing atrophy subtypes were identified. Limbic-predominant atrophy initially affected the medial temporal lobes, followed by further temporal regions and, finally, the remaining cortical regions. At baseline, this subtype was related to older age, more pathological Alzheimer's disease biomarker levels, APOE ε4 carriership and an amnestic cognitive impairment. Hippocampal-sparing atrophy initially occurred outside the temporal lobe, with the medial temporal lobe spared up to advanced atrophy stages. This atrophy pattern also affected individuals with positive Alzheimer's disease biomarkers and was associated with more generalized cognitive impairment. Limbic-predominant atrophy, in all participants and in only unimpaired participants, was linked to more negative longitudinal PACC-5 slopes than observed in participants without or with hippocampal-sparing atrophy and increased the risk of mild cognitive impairment conversion. SuStaIn modelling was repeated in a sample from the Swedish BioFINDER-2 cohort. Highly similar atrophy progression patterns and associated cognitive profiles were identified. Cross-cohort model generalizability, at both the subject and the group level, was excellent, indicating reliable performance in previously unseen data. The proposed model is a promising tool for capturing heterogeneity among older adults at early at-risk states for Alzheimer's disease in applied settings. The implementation of atrophy subtype- and stage-specific end points might increase the statistical power of pharmacological trials targeting early Alzheimer's disease.
Myocardial reperfusion injury (MRI) accounts for up to 50% of the final size in acute myocardial infarction and other conditions associated with ischemia-reperfusion. Currently, there is still no therapy to prevent MRI, but it is well known that oxidative stress has a key role in its mechanism. We previously reduced MRI in rats through a combined antioxidant therapy (CAT) of ascorbic acid, N-acetylcysteine, and deferoxamine. This study determines the safety and pharmacokinetics of CAT in a Phase I clinical trial. Healthy subjects (n = 18) were randomized 2:1 to CAT or placebo (NaCl 0.9% i.v.). Two different doses/infusion rates of CATs were tested in a single 90-minute intravenous infusion. Blood samples were collected at specific times for 180 minutes to measure plasma drug concentrations (ascorbic acid, N-acetylcysteine, and deferoxamine) and oxidative stress biomarkers. Adverse events were registered during infusion and followed for 30 days. Both CAT1 and CAT2 significantly increased the CAT drug concentrations compared to placebo (P < .05). Most of the pharmacokinetic parameters were similar between CAT1 and CAT2. In total, 6 adverse events were reported, all nonserious and observed in CAT1. The ferric-reducing ability of plasma (an antioxidant biomarker) increased in both CAT groups compared to placebo (P < .001). The CAT is safe in humans and a potential treatment for patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing reperfusion therapy.
In the cognitive rehabilitation and stretching and toning (S/T) exercise condition, participants will complete 12 weeks of supervised S/T activities 3 days per week over the 12 week period. For seven weeks, participants will only complete S/T. During weeks 8-12, participants will complete the Kessler Foundation modified story Memory Technique (KF-mSMT®), a memory retraining program on 2 of the 3 days per week.

The method is esp. intended for lining diaphragm valve bodies. A straight PTFE pipe is inserted into the component so that it extends beyond each end of the component. A warm support mandrel is then introduced into the PTFE pipe. The ends of the PTFE pipe (32) are held in press and axially compressed by force of 0.1-6 KN. The PTFE pipe is then drilled at the opening (5) and a drawing mandrel is inserted into the pipe (3). The pipe (3) is heated to 180-400 deg.C in the vicinity of the opening. The drawing mandrel is pulled out through the opening using a drawing tool. Finally the ends (32) of the PTFE pipe (3) are trimmed and/or a pipe extension (4) with PTFE lining is added.
Children are placed into 1 of 4 treatment groups based on age: Group 1, 3 months to 24 months; Group 2, 25 months to 6 years; Group 3, 7 years to 12 years; Group 4, 13 years to 17 years. They receive baseline evaluations. Antiretroviral-naive patients receive emtricitabine plus stavudine plus lopinavir/ritonavir. Antiretroviral-experienced patients replace lamivudine with emtricitabine. Patients return to the clinic for follow-up visits at Weeks 2 and 4 and then every 4 weeks until Week 48. Safety is evaluated using adverse events, which are reviewed at every clinic visit. Clinical laboratory data and full-profile pharmacokinetics of emtricitabine are evaluated at some visits. After the Week 48 study evaluations are completed, individual patients may continue to receive study medication (as provided by the sponsor) until commercially available, if certain criteria are met.
Quantitative research methods were used in the study and it was a randomized type study. The sample of the study consisted of women between the ages of 18-30 who volunteered to participate in the study, showed symptoms of dysmenorrhea and can be accessed online. The names of female participants who volunteered to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria were written on papers and put in a bag. Papers will be randomly selected by the evaluator by drawing lots. Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups: motor imagery focused pelvic floor exercise group, relaxation exercise group, and combined group. Among the participants who agreed to participate in the study, the sociodemographic and menstrual characteristics information form and the Visual Analogue Scale value of 5 and above on the day when the menstrual cycle is most severe were included in the study, and the McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form, Menstruation Attitude Scale (MBI), Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale (FEDS) they will be asked to fill in. After the groups are formed, video home exercise programs will be delivered online (whatsApp, mail, etc.) to the participants. Individuals will be asked to apply the created video home exercise program individually in their own environment. Before the participants start their exercise programs, exercise programs will be taught by online interview. You will be asked to do the exercises for 8 weeks, 3 days a week. After the 8-week exercise program is over, the participants will be asked to fill in the McGill Pain Questionnaire- Short Form, Menstruation Attitude Scale (MBI), Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale (FEDS) on the day when the menstrual pain is most severe. Pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.
The mobile app will allow recording of study outcomes (pain using the vNRS and functional outcomes using the ASKp) and house an interactive educational component to provide daily reminders on pharmacological (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) and non-pharmacological (ice, elevation, and range of motion exercises) for pain management and when to return to activity. The app will collect pain scores using the verbal Numeric Rating Scale (vNRS) and functional outcomes using the Activities Scale for Kids (ASKp) scores on days 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, and 14. The ASKp will be completed by the child with assistance from the caregiver.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are highly conserved small transmembrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. Aquaglyceroporin 7 (AQP7), a significant member of the AQP family, is widely distributed throughout the body. For years, AQP7 was predominantly recognized for its role as a small-molecule transporter, facilitating the passage of small molecular substances. However, growing studies have revealed that AQP7 is also involved in the regulation of lipid synthesis, gluconeogenesis, and energy homeostasis, and it is intimately linked to a variety of diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the structure of AQP7, its regulatory mechanisms, its vital roles in both healthy and diseased states, and potential therapeutic advancements. We hope that these studies will serve as a valuable reference for the development of future treatments and diagnostic protocols targeting AQP7.
###  Central Diabetes Insipidus

Desmopressin acetate tablets have been used safely in pediatric patients, age 4 years and older, with diabetes insipidus for periods up to 44 months. In younger pediatric patients the dose must be individually adjusted in order to prevent an excessive decrease in plasma osmolality leading to hyponatremia and possible convulsions; dosing should start at 0.05 mg (½ of the 0.1 mg tablet). Use of desmopressin acetate tablets in pediatric patients requires careful fluid intake restrictions to prevent possible hyponatremia and water intoxication. Fluid restriction should be discussed with the patient and/or guardian (see WARNINGS).

###  Primary Nocturnal Enuresis

Desmopressin acetate tablets have been safely used in pediatric patients age 6 years and older with primary nocturnal enuresis for up to 6 months. Some patients respond to a dose of 0.2 mg; however, increasing responses are seen at doses of 0.4 mg and 0.6 mg. No increase in the frequency or severity of adverse reactions or decrease in efficacy was seen with an increased dose or duration. The dose should be individually adjusted to achieve the best results. Treatment with desmopressin for primary nocturnal enuresis should be interrupted during acute intercurrent illness characterized by fluid and/or electrolyte imbalance (e.g., systemic infections, fever, recurrent vomiting or diarrhea) or under conditions of extremely hot weather, vigorous exercise or other conditions associated with increased water intake.
The purpose of the present study is to examine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of "tobacco-free" oral nicotine pouches, at various doses and flavors, in healthy adult smokers. The study will utilize a within-subjects, double-blind design. Upon enrollment, participants will complete 7 dosing conditions: tobacco-flavored pouch (low or high nicotine dose), mint/menthol-flavored pouch (low or high nicotine dose), and fruit-flavored pouch (low or high nicotine dose); participants will also complete a condition where the participants will smoke participants' preferred brand of cigarettes. In each experimental session, participants will complete 2 product-use bouts. In bout 1, the participants will use a single product (pouch or cigarette) for a fixed period under controlled conditions. In bout 2, participants will be given 2 hours to use participants' assigned product ad libitum. Blood specimens will be obtained throughout the sessions to characterize the pharmacokinetics of nicotine and various pharmacodynamic outcomes (subjective drug effects, tobacco withdrawal symptoms, vital signs) will also be assessed. These procedures will be completed 7 separate times (on separate visits) by each participant (sessions will be separated by at least 48 hours).
The invention discloses a combined peptide with acid activated antitumor activity, belonging to the technical field of biological medicines. The invention designs and synthesizes a plurality of anion shielding peptides LE by taking pH sensitive peptide LH as a template, and couples the LE with LK through disulfide bonds, so as to synthesize the combined peptide: the activity of the combined peptide is lower under normal physiological conditions; and under the acidic condition of the tumor, the activity is activated, so that the tumor cells can be effectively killed. The combined peptide has good acid sensitivity and obvious tumor targeting under the conditions of different pH values through an anti-tumor activity experiment, a cell membrane penetrating activity experiment and a hemolysis experiment. Compared with alpha helix anticancer peptide LK, the cytotoxicity of the combined peptide is obviously reduced. In addition, the high-efficiency membrane penetration capability and the rapid membrane rupture mechanism of the combined peptide enable the combined peptide to also show obvious advantages in application of anti-multi-drug resistance and targeting carrier. Therefore, the combined peptide has good application prospect in the aspect of preparing clinical application medicaments.
The active drug substance in Ioflupane I 123 Injection is N-ω-fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-[123I]iodophenyl)nortropane or ioflupane I-123. 

In vitro, ioflupane binds reversibly to the human dopamine transporter (DaT) (Ki = 0.62 nM; IC50 = 0.71 nM). Autoradiography of post-mortem human brain slices exposed to radiolabeled ioflupane shows concentration of the radiolabel in striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen). The specificity of the binding of ioflupane I-125 to dopamine transporter was demonstrated by competition studies with the DaT inhibitor GBR 12909 (a dopamine reuptake inhibitor), the serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram, and the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor desipramine in post-mortem human brain slices exposed to radiolabeled ioflupane. Citalopram reduced binding in the neocortex and thalamus with only minor effects in the striatum. This indicated that the binding in the cortex and thalamus is mainly to the serotonin reuptake sites. Desipramine showed no effect on the level of striatal binding of ioflupane I- 125, but reduced extrastriatal binding by 60 to 85%. The binding of ioflupane I-125 to the striatum was abolished in the presence of high concentrations of GBR 12909, indicating selectivity of ioflupane binding for the pre-synaptic DaT.

Following administration of Ioflupane I 123 Injection to humans, radioactive decay of the iodine-123 emits gamma radiation which can be detected externally using gamma detectors, allowing visualization of the brain striata through SPECT imaging [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
BACKGROUND: Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) is a rare autosomal recessive liver disorder, characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. This case report investigates the clinical characteristics and longitudinal outcomes of a neonate diagnosed with DJS.
METHODS: A newborn presented with elevated bilirubin levels and abnormal liver enzyme readings. Comprehensive genetic evaluation was conducted, which included peripheral blood sample collection from the infant and both parents after obtaining informed consent and high-throughput trio exome sequencing was performed. The genetic analysis revealed 2 significant mutations in the ABCC2 gene on chromosome 10: the insertion mutation c.4237(exon30)_c.4238(exon30)ins CT, inherited from the father, and the missense mutation c.517(exon5)G > A, inherited from the mother. Both mutations were classified as pathogenic according to the ACMG 2015 guidelines, indicating a compound heterozygous inheritance pattern. The patient's treatment regimen included phototherapy, which was initiated to address her jaundice upon admission. To support liver function and regulate gut activity, oral ursodeoxycholic acid (20 mg/kg/dose, twice a day) and probiotics were administered. Additionally, a postdischarge medication plan involving a low-dose regimen of phenobarbital (3.5 mg/kg/dose, twice a day) was implemented for 2 weeks.
RESULTS: During a 2-year follow-up after discharge, the infant's bilirubin levels significantly decreased, and liver enzymes, including GGT, progressively normalized.
CONCLUSION: This case report enhances the understanding of DJS in neonates by emphasizing the clinical ramifications of compound heterozygous mutations within the ABCC2 gene and documenting the evolution of the disease. The gradual normalization of liver function tests suggests potential compensatory mechanisms in response to the genetic abnormalities in neonates with DJS. The correlation between the patient's genetic profile of compound heterozygosity and her milder clinical phenotype warrants attention, suggesting that this specific genetic configuration may be associated with less severe manifestations of the disease. The necessity for long-term follow-up is highlighted, recognizing that intercurrent stress conditions could influence the hepatic profile and potentially exacerbate symptoms. Such sustained observation is crucial to further delineate the genomic and clinical landscape of DJS, offering opportunities to refine prognostic and therapeutic approaches.
Subjects randomized to the immediate treatment group will be scheduled to begin treatment with IV iron infusion immediately (or within 2 business days). They will receive 200mg IV iron sucrose a week for 5 weeks followed by 19 weeks of follow up.
The quality of a mother's diet is important to ensure child growth and development and keep women healthy. This systematic review aimed to identify the outcomes of a carbohydrate-restricted diet during lactation. PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and LILACS were searched for studies published between 2012 and 2023; 16 studies were selected, all of them case reports or care series. The carbohydrate restriction described in the papers mainly was ketogenic, low-carb, low-carbohydrate and high-fat, and modified ketogenic diets. The main goal of women undertaking these diets was weight loss, with therapeutic purposes (monitored and supervised by health professionals) in only 2 cases: (1) ketogenic diet therapy for treatment of seizures in the infant and (2) to reduce symptoms of mother's gastroesophageal reflux. Most articles reported that lactating women were hospitalized, experiencing symptoms such as vomiting, muscle weakness, nausea, abdominal pain, general malaise, and fatigue. However, articles did not mention poor outcomes for the infants. Most of the studies in this review were published in the past 3 years, indicating a possible increase in cases of women practicing carbohydrate restriction during lactation for weight loss caused by body dissatisfaction. In conclusion, carbohydrate restriction during lactation may be harmful to the lactating woman and contribute to the state of lactational ketoacidosis, but infant outcomes are mainly a change in feeding patterns. Thus, education on food and nutrition is necessary for this population.

PURPOSE:To obtain the title powder which is satisfactory in such properties as hiding powder, compactibility, high loading suitability, dispersibility, slip, spreadability, and adhesion by mechanically wet-grinding chitosan in a liquid coolant at a low temp. CONSTITUTION:Chitosan chips having an average particle size of, e.g. about 4mm are mechanically ground to an average particle size of 0.1-1mm. The resulting chitosan is mechanically wet-ground in a cold liquid coolant, e.g. liquid air, to obtain a powder composed of irregular chitosan flakes which have particle sizes of 0.20-90mum and an average particle size of 20mum or smaller, and in which the particle thickness is not larger than one half of the minor axis. The surfaces of the flakes are treated with, e.g. hydrogenpolysiloxane and the resulting powder is incorporated into a makeup cosmetic, thereby to improve the water repellency and slip properties of the cosmetic and enable it to be applied softly and lightly, be spread well, and adhere to the skin throughout its depressed and projecting parts.
