INTRODUCTION: Infectious diseases still cause a significant burden of morbidity and mortality among children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). There are ample opportunities for innovation in surveillance, prevention, and management, with the ultimate goal of improving survival.
AREAS COVERED: This review discusses the current status in the use and development of innovative strategies for pediatric infectious diseases in LMICs by focusing on surveillance, diagnosis, prevention, and management. Topics covered are: Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling as a technique to accurately ascertain the cause of death; Genetic Surveillance to trace the pathogen genomic diversity and emergence of resistance; Artificial Intelligence as a multidisciplinary tool; Portable noninvasive imaging methods; and Prognostic Biomarkers to triage and risk stratify pediatric patients.
EXPERT OPINION: To overcome the specific hurdles in child health for LMICs, some innovative strategies appear at the forefront of research. If the development of these next-generation tools remains focused on accessibility, sustainability and capacity building, reshaping epidemiological surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment in LMICs, can become a reality and result in a significant public health impact. Their integration with existing healthcare infrastructures may revolutionize disease detection and surveillance, and improve child health and survival.
Participants randomized to the full-time patching group will patch full-time (all waking hours) for 3 months up until the day before the 3-month primary outcome visit. Daily alternate patching will be prescribed (right eye on even days, left eye on odd days). No other treatment for IXT will be used, except for refractive correction.
The evolution of sex chromosomes can involve recombination suppression sometimes involving structural changes, such as inversions, allowing subsequent rearrangements, including inversions and gene transpositions. In the two major genus Salix clades, Salix and Vetrix, almost all species are dioecious, and sex-linked regions have evolved on chromosome 7 and 15, with either male or female heterogamety. We used chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) and PacBio HiFi (high-fidelity) reads to assemble chromosome-level, gap-free X and Y chromosomes from both clades, S. triandra (15XY system), a basal species in the Vetrix clade, and the Salix clade species S. mesnyi (7XY system). Combining these with other available genome assemblies, we found inversions within the sex-linked regions, which are likely to be pericentromeric and probably recombined rarely in the ancestral species, before sex-linkage evolved. The Y-linked regions in all 15XY and 7XY species include partial duplicates containing exon 1 of an ARR17-like gene similar to male-determining factors in other Salicaceae species. We also found duplicates of a Y-specific gene, which we named MSF. The derived Salix clade 7XY chromosome systems appear to have evolved when these two genes transposed from the 15Y to the 7Y. Additionally, the 7Y chromosomes in S. dunnii and S. chaenomeloides probably evolved from the ancestral 7X of the Salix clade, involving a similar transposition, and loss of the ancestral 7Y. We suggest that pericentromeric regions that recombine infrequently may facilitate the evolution of sex linkage.
PURPOSE: Lumbar spine surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. The benefits of erector spinae plane blocks (ESPBs) combined with multimodal analgesia has not been adequately studied. We evaluated the analgesic effects of bilateral ESPBs as a component of multimodal analgesia after open lumbar laminectomy.
METHODS: Analgesic effects of preoperative, bilateral, ultrasound-guided ESPBs combined with standardized multimodal analgesia (n = 25) was compared with multimodal analgesia alone (n = 25) in patients undergoing one or two level open lumbar laminectomy. Other aspects of perioperative care were similar. The primary outcome measure was cumulative opioid consumption at 24 h. Secondary outcomes included opioid consumption, pain scores, and nausea and vomiting requiring antiemetics on arrival to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after surgery, as well as duration of the PACU and hospital stay.
RESULTS: Opioid requirements at 24 h were significantly lower with ESPBs (31.9 ± 12.3 mg vs. 61.2 ± 29.9 mg, oral morphine equivalents). Pain scores were significantly lower with ESPBs in the PACU and through postoperative day two. Patients who received ESPBs required fewer postoperative antiemetic therapy (n = 3, 12%) compared to those without ESPBs (n = 12, 48%). Furthermore, PACU duration was significantly shorter with ESPBs (49.7 ± 9.5 vs. 79.9 ± 24.6 min).
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided, bilateral ESPBs, when added to an optimal multimodal analgesia technique, reduce opioid consumption and pain scores, the need for antiemetic therapy, and the duration of stay in the PACU after one or two level open lumbar laminectomy.
No animal studies have been conducted with the combined products in glipizide and metformin hydrochloride tablets. The following data are based on findings in studies performed with the individual products.

### Glipizide

A 20 month study in rats and an 18 month study in mice at doses up to 75 times the maximum human dose revealed no evidence of drug-related carcinogenicity. Bacterial and in vivo mutagenicity tests were uniformly negative. Studies in rats of both sexes at doses up to 75 times the human dose showed no effects on fertility. 

### Metformin Hydrochloride

Long-term carcinogenicity studies were performed with metformin alone in rats (dosing duration of 104 weeks) and mice (dosing duration of 91 weeks) at doses up to and including 900 mg/kg/day and 1500 mg/kg/day, respectively. These doses are both approximately 4 times the maximum recommended human daily (MRHD) dose of 2000 mg of the metformin component of glipizide and metformin hydrochloride tablets based on body surface area comparisons. No evidence of carcinogenicity with metformin alone was found in either male or female mice. Similarly, there was no tumorigenic potential observed with metformin alone in male rats. There was, however, an increased incidence of benign stromal uterine polyps in female rats treated with 900 mg/kg/day of metformin alone.

There was no evidence of a mutagenic potential of metformin alone in the following in vitro tests: Ames test ( S. typhimurium), gene mutation test (mouse lymphoma cells), or chromosomal aberrations test (human lymphocytes). Results in the in vivo mouse micronucleus test were also negative. 

Fertility of male or female rats was unaffected by metformin alone when administered at doses as high as 600 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 3 times the MRHD dose of the metformin component of glipizide and metformin hydrochloride tablets based on body surface area comparisons.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of the single Kocher-Langenbeck approach combined with anterograde channel screw technique for the treatment of acetabular transverse and posterior wall fractures.
METHODS: Between March 2020 and October 2022, 17 cases of acetabular transverse and posterior wall fractures were treated with the single Kocher-Langenbeck approach combined with anterograde channel screw technique. There were 11 males and 6 females, with an average age of 53.6 years (range, 42-64 years). Causes of injury included traffic accident in 12 cases, and falling from height in 5 cases. The time from injury to operation ranged from 4 to 16 days with an average of 8.8 days. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and fluoroscopy frequency were recorded; X-ray films were reviewed regularly after operation to observe the fracture healing, and postoperative complications were recorded. At last follow-up, Matta score was used to evaluate the reduction of fracture, Harris score and modified Merle D'Aubigné-Postel scores system were used to evaluate the hip joint function.
RESULTS: The operation time was 150-230 minutes (mean, 185.9 minutes), the intraoperative blood loss was 385-520 mL (mean, 446.2 mL), and the fluoroscopy frequency was 18-34 times (mean, 27.5 times). Postoperative fat liquefaction occurred in 1 case and the other incisions healed by first intention; 3 cases had limb numbness after operation, and the symptoms disappeared after active symptomatic treatment; no urogenital system and intestinal injury occurred. All patients were followed up 12-28 months (mean, 19.9 months). Bone union was achieved in all cases with an average healing time of 10.8 weeks (range, 8-14 weeks). There was no complication such as loosening and breakage of internal fixators. At last follow-up, according to Matta score, 12 cases achieved anatomic reduction, 3 satisfactory reduction, and 2 fair reduction, the satisfactory rate was 88.2%; according to Harris hip function score, 12 cases were excellent, 3 good, and 2 fair, the excellent and good rate was 88.2%; according to the modified Merle D'Aubign Aubigné-Postel scoring system, the results were excellent in 11 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 3 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 82.4%.
CONCLUSION: The single Kocher-Langenbeck approach combined with anterograde channel screw technique is a minimally invasive method for the treatment of acetabular transverse and posterior wall fractures with less complications, simple operation, and satisfactory effectiveness.
BACKGROUND: The recovery of upper limb function is of great significance for stroke patients to regain their self-care ability, yet it is still a difficult point in clinical practice of neurological rehabilitation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Maitland joint mobilization technique on the recovery of upper extremity function in patients with spasticity after stroke.
METHODS: From August to December 2023, 71 patients with upper extremity flexor spasm after stroke were recruited and randomly divided into experimental group (n = 35) and control group (n = 36). The control group was given conventional rehabilitation treatment, while the experimental group was treated with Maitland mobilization technique treatment of upper extremity joints on the basis of the control group. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks. Participants of the 2 groups were observed for Fugl-Meyer motor assessment-upper extremity (FMA-UE), box and block test (BBT) and Brunnstrom stage, modified Ashworth scale (MAS), and functional independence measure (FIM) at pre- and post-8 weeks study.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in gender distribution, hemiplegic side, diagnosis, past history, age, duration, body mass index, and mini-mental state examination between the 2 groups (P > .05). After 8 weeks of intervention, both groups showed significant improvement in FMA-UE, Brunnstrom stage, BBT, FIM, and MAS of the shoulder (P < .05); however, there was no significant change in MAS of the elbow, wrist, and finger joints (P > .05). The posttreatment values showed a significant improvement in FMA-UE, BBT, and FIM in the experimental group compared to the control group. Comparing the changes in pretreatment and posttreatment, FMA-UE, BBT, and FIM in the experimental group were significantly improved compared with those in the control group (P < .05).
CONCLUSION: Maitland joint mobilization can improve the motor function of upper extremity and the spasticity of shoulder joint complex in patients with stroke.
Catheter Cook K-Jets-551910-S consists of an outer firm and an inner ultrasoft catheter. The outer guiding catheter (17 cm long) is slightly stiff, with a preshaped curve and a rounded bulb tip to help negotiate the cervical canal. It has a depth marker at 4 cm from the tip, which can be pulled back to a second marker at 5 cm. The inner catheter (23 cm long) is made of a soft material with a rounded bullet tip. In general, the inner catheter does not negotiate the cervical canal directly but rather is introduced into the uterine cavity through the outer catheter.
Flight attendants may be at an increased risk of breast and other cancers due to work-place exposures including cosmic radiation and circadian rhythm disruption from traveling across multiple time zones. This cancer incidence study will determine whether female flight attendants are at increased risk of breast and other cancers and whether the risk is dose-related. The study will include a cohort of approximately 9,631 women who were employed as flight attendants for one or more years.

Breast cancer cases will be identified from telephone interviews of living subjects and next-of-kin of deceased subjects, as well as from death certificates. The interview will also provide information about non-occupational risk factors for breast cancer such as parity. Both internal and external comparisons will be made. The primary analysis will evaluate the risk associated with occupational exposure within the cohort, controlling for non-occupational risk factors by stratification or modeling. The secondary analysis will compare the incidence of breast cancer in the cohort to that in the general population, with adjustment for factors such as lower parity which might increase breast cancer risk in the cohort independent of occupational exposure to cosmic radiation and circadian rhythm disruption. The risk of other ionizing radiation-related cancers, such as leukemia, lung cancer, and thyroid cancer, among flight attendants will also be evaluated. The results of the study will apply to female flight crew and frequent fliers.
Dose escalation part: Participants with relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) will receive PEGPH20 1.6 micrograms/kilogram (µg/kg) or 2.2 µg/kg on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 of each 21-day cycle (i.e. 3 doses/cycle) and pembrolizumab 2 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) every 21 days on Day 1 of each cycle (i.e. 1 dose/cycle), 4-6 hours after the completion of PEGPH20 administration. Dose expansion part: Participants with relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic GAC will receive PEGPH20 2.2 µg/kg on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 of each 21-day cycle and pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of each cycle, 4-6 hours after the completion of PEGPH20 administration. Treatment in both phases of the study will continue until death, withdrawal of consent from the study, disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity (maximum exposure: 60 weeks).

An increase in fibrous connective tissue and a decrease in parenchymal cells in organ tissues are the primary pathological alterations linked to organ fibrosis. If fibrosis is not treated, organ structure is destroyed, function can decline, or even fail, posing a serious risk to human life and health. Numerous organs develop fibrosis, and organ fibroproliferative illnesses account for almost 45% of patient deaths from various diseases in the industrialized world, as well as a major cause of disability and mortality in many other diseases. Recently, it has become evident that histone modification is an important way to regulate gene expression in organ fibrosis. Histone modifications alter the structure of chromatin, thereby affecting gene accessibility. Histone acetylation modifications relax chromatin, making it easier for gene transcription factors to access DNA, thereby promoting gene transcription. In addition, histone modifications recruit other proteins to interact with chromatin to form complexes that further regulate gene expression. Histone methylation modifications recruit methylation-reading proteins that recognize methylation marks and alter gene expression status. It not only affects the normal physiological function of cells, but also plays an important role in organ fibrosis. This article reviews the important role played by histone modifications in organ fibrosis and potential therapeutic approaches.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, Phase II study in adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis receiving TNF-alpha inhibitor therapy, aged 18 years to 64 years of age. This study is designed to investigate the immunogenicity, safety, and reactogenicity of two different doses of inactivated trivalent influenza virus vaccine given at two dose levels (15 mcg and 60 mcg) administered IM in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis receiving anti-TNF-alpha therapy or age and gender matched control subjects. The study is conducted over two seasons, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. Subjects enrolling between October 2011 and February 2012 will receive the 2011-2012 vaccine, while those enrolling after July 2012 will receive the 2012-2013 vaccine. Immunogenicity testing will determine the proportion of subjects in each group with titer a 4-fold rise in HAI titers (defined as either a pre-vaccination HAI titer \<1:10 and a post-vaccination HAI titer \>/=1:40 or a pre-vaccination HAI titer \>/=1:10 and a minimum four-fold rise in post-vaccination HAI titer) against each of the specific influenza strains included in vaccine the subject received at day 21 following vaccination. The proportion of subjects in each group achieving a serum HAI titer of \>/= 1:40 or a 4-fold rise in HAI titer or greater in HAI titer against each strain in the vaccine compared to the controls subjects. Safety testing will assess the occurrence of vaccine-associated Serious adverse events (SAEs) throughout the course of the study, and the occurrence of solicited local and systemic adverse events (AEs) within 8 days post vaccination. Solicited AEs (including rheumatoid arthritis clinical status) will be assessed during the course of the study. Subjects will have four face to face visits and one telephone contact. Day 0 will include the consent process, a medical history and physical exam for the RA subjects to assess the activity of their RA at the time of enrollment, vital signs, phlebotomy for prevaccine serology. Subjects will be randomized to receive IM seasonal TIV or High-Dose TIV at this visit and will receive the assigned vaccine. They will be observed for 20 minutes and will be taught to fill out a 7 day memory aid that will assess daily temperature, local and systemic reactogenicity. A telephone call will be made to assess reactogenicity and to review the memory aid on day 3. Subjects will return on day 7 for review of the memory aid, AEs/SAEs, vital signs and phlebotomy for serology. A physical exam will be performed if indicated. They will return on day 21 and at 6 months for review of AEs/SAEs, vital signs and phlebotomy for serology. A physical exam will be performed if indicated.
ERT will be delivered in utero. Typically, the target of the procedure to administer in utero ERT will be the umbilical vein near the insertion of the umbilical cord into the placenta. The dose of the ERT will be dependent on the specific disease process and enzyme being replaced, and the estimated weight of the fetus. The dosage will be the same as the recommended weight-based postnatal dosing, adjusted for estimated fetal weight. IUERT will be repeated every 2-4 weeks, which is an interval consistent with the standard of care for IUTs (every 2-4 weeks) to avoid excessive access through the umbilical vein. This interval is also consistent with the half-life of each relevant enzyme.
Objective of the study is to assess the effects of wound healing with a commercially available light emitting diode (LED) photo biomodulation (PBM) device that emits three wavelengths (465, 640 and 880nm) after ablative fractional laser (AFL) treatment to healthy skin on the bilateral inner biceps. We conducted a prospective intraindividual randomized controlled study with 25 volunteers. AFL treatment was performed on healthy skin of the bilateral inner biceps. Subjects applied the LED light device for 30 min to the assigned bicep 3 times a week over 4 weeks, beginning on day 0. Subjects were followed up on days 2, 4, 6, 9, 13, 20 and 27 for treatment with the PBM device, clinical digital photography of the test and control sites, and in-person subject assessment, with follow ups on days 34 and 55 for clinical photography and assessment. Three blinded evaluators were asked to determine which bicep healed faster between day 0 to day 13. Pain, discomfort, and itch were also assessed. The three blinded evaluators chose the treatment arm as the faster healed arm in greater than 50% of the images, although the results were not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between test and control arms in terms of pain, discomfort and itch. In conclusion, PBM therapy has the potential to improve wound healing. In this study, a three wavelength PBM device resulted in some subjects achieving faster healing after AFL but the results were not statistically significant.
Jasmiel contains 3 mg of the progestin DRSP which has anti-mineralocorticoid activity, including the potential for hyperkalemia in high-risk patients, comparable to a 25 mg dose of spironolactone. Jasmiel is contraindicated in patients with conditions that predispose to hyperkalemia (that is, renal impairment, hepatic impairment, and adrenal insufficiency). Women receiving daily, long-term treatment for chronic conditions or diseases with medications that may increase serum potassium concentration should have their serum potassium concentration checked during the first treatment cycle. Medications that may increase serum potassium concentration include ACE inhibitors, angiotensin-II receptor antagonists, potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplementation, heparin, aldosterone antagonists, and NSAIDS. Consider monitoring serum potassium concentration in high-risk patients who take a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor long-term and concomitantly. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors include azole antifungals (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole), HIV/HCV protease inhibitors (e.g., indinavir, boceprevir), and clarithromycin [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
