Acute kidney injury is a common complication of trauma and hemorrhagic shock. In a porcine model of hemorrhagic shock, resuscitative endovascular balloon aortic occlusion (REBOA) and hemodilution, we hypothesized that invasive kidney oxygen concentration measurements would correlate more strongly with noninvasive near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) oxygen saturation measurements when cutaneous sensors were placed over the kidney under ultrasound guidance compared to placement over the thigh muscle and subcutaneous tissue. Eight anesthetized swine underwent hemorrhagic shock 4 of which were resuscitated with intravenous fluids prior to the return of shed blood (Hemodilution protocol) and 4 of which underwent REBOA prior to resuscitation and return of shed blood (REBOA protocol). There was a moderate correlation between the NIRS and kidney tissue oxygen measurements (r = 0.61 p < 0.001; r = 0.67 p < 0.001; r = 0.66 p < 0.001for left kidney, right kidney, and thigh NIRS respectively). When the animals were separated by protocol, the Hemodilution group showed a weak or nonsignificant correlation between NIRS and kidney tissue oxygen measurements (r = 0.10 p < 0.001; r = 0.01 p = 0.1007; r = 0.28 p < 0.001 for left kidney, right kidney, and thigh NIRS respectively). This contrasts with the REBOA group, where left and right kidney as well as thigh NIRS were moderately correlated with kidney tissue oxygen (r = 0.71 p < 0.001; r = 0.74 p < 0.001; r = 0.70 p < 0.001; for left kidney, right kidney, and thigh NIRS respectively). There was a strong correlation between both kidney NIRS signals and thigh NIRS measurements (r = 0.85 p < 0.001; r = 0.88 p < 0.001;for left kidney vs thigh and right kidney vs thigh respectively). There was also a strong correlation between left and right kidney NIRS (r = 0.90 p < 0.001). These relationships were maintained regardless of the resuscitation protocol. These results suggest that kidney NIRS measurements were more closely related to thigh NIRS measurements than invasive kidney tissue oxygen concentration.
The present invention relates to systems and methods for characterising lung tumours (solid, part-solid and ground-glass) based on criteria of invasiveness by means of pixel distancing and deep learning algorithms in computerised axial tomography (CAT) scans. The system is made up of an image forming device, an input/output interface, at least one processor, a database, and a memory comprising executable instructions to implement a method comprising: i. Receiving computerised axial tomography images of a subject's chest that show lung lesions, nodules or tumours; ii. Determining the volume of the tumour structure from the chest images of the region of interest; iii. Segmenting a representation of voxels by means of a learning algorithm; iv. Determining a projected final volumetry; v. Calculating distance maps by means of a second unsupervised classification algorithm; vi. Creating a matrix of characteristics from the nodule or tumour structures with a distance vector; vii. Determining a biomarker of invasiveness; and viii. Determining the nodule risk.
Anemia has occurred in NSAID-treated patients. This may be due to occult or gross blood loss, fluid retention, or an incompletely described effect on erythropoiesis. If a patient treated with ibuprofen and famotidine tablet has any signs or symptoms of anemia, monitor hemoglobin or hematocrit.

NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and famotidine tablet, may increase the risk of bleeding events. Co-morbid conditions such as coagulation disorders or concomitant use of warfarin, and other anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents (e.g., aspirin), serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) may increase the risk. Monitor these patients for signs of bleeding [see Drug Interactions (7)].
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential co-factor in metabolic reactions and co-substrate for signaling enzymes. Failing human hearts display decreased expression of the major NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) and lower NAD+ levels, and supplementation with NAD+ precursors is protective in preclinical models. Here we show that Nampt loss in adult cardiomyocytes caused depletion of NAD+ along with marked metabolic derangements, hypertrophic remodeling and sudden cardiac deaths, despite unchanged ejection fraction, endurance and mitochondrial respiratory capacity. These effects were directly attributable to NAD+ loss as all were ameliorated by restoring cardiac NAD+ levels with the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR). Electrocardiograms revealed that loss of myocardial Nampt caused a shortening of QT intervals with spontaneous lethal arrhythmias causing sudden cardiac death. Thus, changes in NAD+ concentration can have a profound influence on cardiac physiology even at levels sufficient to maintain energetics.
Participants will complete 11, 90-minute sessions of positive affect training. The positive affect training will be conducted in an individual setting. Positive affect training directly targets reward and positive valence processing and has been shown by previous research to enhance positive affect (and decrease negative affect).
Bio2Watch: In this clinical project part biometric patient data of 24 SFN patients, 3 cancer patients and 21 subjects (control group) will be collected for a period of one year using a PainWatch. The term PainWatch includes an Apple Watch 5 with iPhone 8 and installed app for pain recording. With the aid of the PainWatch, the personal pain sensation in everyday life is documented and personal data such as the pulse rate and the daily number of steps, as well as environmental data, such as the prevailing air pressure, humidity and temperature are recorded. The aim is to use these data as a basis for initial indications of pain-inducing stimuli or combinations of stimuli.

Bio2Patient: In this clinical project part clinically quantifiable tests are carried out, such as quantitative sensory testing (QST), which examines subjective thermal and mechanical sensory perception and pain thresholds. The goal is to determine a specific pain phenotype. In addition, pain evoked potentials (PREPs) are performed to draw conclusions about the function of thin nerve fibers (pain fibers), including projection to the brain. Supplementary SF-36 pain questionnaires are completed to assess the quality of life.For the pain-evoked potentials (PREPs), a total of 20 additional healthy control subjects are to be included (control group D). Four subjects (2 male, 2 female) from each of the age decades 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 will be included.

Bio2Cell: In the cell-based project part induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) are produced from blood cells of SFN patients, cancer patients and volunteers. These cells will be differentiated into sensory neurons that are relevant in pain processing, so-called nociceptors. Since these nociceptors are derived from the individual patient, they carry the individual genetic characteristics of the patient. These neurons are then analyzed by multi-electrode arrays (MEA). With this method environmental influences such as temperature and air pressure or drugs on the pathophysiology of the patient's are investigated. The main goal is to simulate the conditions, which lead to pain sensation in the context of Bio2Watch and Bio2Patient.

Bio2Integrate: The results from Bio2Watch, Bio2Patient and Bio2Cell will then flow into the software to be developed during the project. Thus, in addition to the identification of stimuli that stimulate pain as well as a genetic correlation to certain markers will be possible. In addition, the targeted modification of the cellular properties of the patient's own sensory neurons through the application of the chemotherapeutic agent can be investigated. To this end, measurements will be made on the cells before and after the application of the substance and compare them with each other. This is the basis for components of the "machine learning " of the Bio2Integrate software.The results of the clinical subprojects are thus an essential component of Bio2Integrate.
In the past few decades, although the widespread implementation of total mesorectal excision (TME) and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has dramatically reduced the postoperative local recurrence rate of rectal cancer, local recurrence after radical resection of colorectal cancer still affects the long-term survival of patients. One of the main reasons is that the postoperative local recurrence rate in patients with rectal cancer is about 6-10%, while that in colon cancer is about 4-13%. In clinical practice, surgical treatment is the preferred treatment option for patients with locally recurrent colorectal cancer (LRCRC). However, only more than one-third of LRCRC patients can be surgically resected with recurrent lesions. For surgically treatable LRCRC patients, since the recurrent lesions often infiltrate widely, complete resection of the lesions usually requires expanding the scope of surgical resection, and posterior pelvic surgery is needed if necessary. Surgery (PPE) or even total pelvic excision (TPE), the complications, functional impairment, and perioperative death caused by the surgery also affect the patient's near and far prognosis. When there are distant metastases or unresectable recurrent tumors, radical resection is often not feasible, which may result in significant morbidity and mortality, so it is necessary to explore different treatment modalities, especially surgical treatment. What is the impact on LRCRC. The mechanism of local recurrence is usually thought to be caused by insufficient resection margins or the planting of detached tumor cells. Another standard theory is that it is caused by metachronous canceration around the anastomosis.The possible reasons are unstable cell proliferation and epithelial adaptation at the anastomosis site-sexual hyperplasia. Some studies also believe neither theory can explain the higher recurrence rate around the anastomosis, suggesting that it may be due to unique and persistent genetic changes. By reading a large amount of relevant literature, we found that local recurrence is a kind of metastasis or metachronous metastasis. Metastasis is a complex, multi-step process. Current metastasis research mainly focuses on various cancer cells. However, research on the molecular regulatory mechanisms of colorectal cancer metastasis is still limited.
PURPOSE:A composition of an antidental plaque tooth paste useful for preventing dental disease, having improved antidental plaque effect and no bad influence upon the taste and the smell. obtained by blending a tooth paste composition with a fatty acid ester of sucrose. CONSTITUTION:0.05-0.45wt% of a fatty acid ester of sucrose consisting of an ester of sucrose and a 16-18C higher fatty acid, e.g., stearic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, or their mixture is added to a tooth paste composition, e.g., aluminum allantoinate, sodium chloride, fluoride, glycyrrhizinate, etc. to give the title composition. The sucrose ester of a fatty acid prevents bacteria from adhering to the teeth to provide an improved antidental plaque action. The sucrose ester has weaker antibacterial activity against streptococcus mutans, a typical strain of a bacterium, than Chlorhexidine, but possesses an improved antidental plaque activity.
A central server controls the receipt and analysis of patient medical data and patient information. The central server receives patient medical data and patient information from a remote computer. A storage system stores the received patient medical data, patient information, and the associated medical report prepared at analysis workstations at any location after analysis of the patient medical data. A processor controls access to and analysis of the patient medical data by analysis workstations and controls access to the medical report. The central server transmits the patient medical data to and receives the associated medical report from analysis workstations. The central server transmits the medical report associated with the patient medical data to the remote computer. Also, a method controls the acquisition and analysis of patient medical data over a network by a central server from a remote computer operably interconnected by the network with the central server.

Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PH + ALL) is the most common cytogenetic abnormality of B-ALL in adults and is associated with poor prognosis. Previously, the only curative treatment option in PH + ALL was allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT). Since 2000, targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy, represented by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib, has become the first-line treatment for PH + ALL. Currently, the remission rate and survival rate of Imatinib are superior to those of simple chemotherapy, and it can also improve the efficacy of transplantation. More recently, some innovative immune-targeted therapy greatly improved the prognosis of PH + ALL, such as Blinatumomab and Inotuzumab Ozogamicin. For patients with ABL1 mutations and those who have relapsed or are refractory to other treatments, targeted oral small molecule drugs, monoclonal antibodies, Bispecific T cell Engagers (BiTE), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells immunotherapy are emerging as potential treatment options. These new therapeutic interventions are changing the treatment landscape for PH + ALL. In summary, this review discusses the current advancements in targeted therapeutic agents shift in the treatment strategy of PH + ALL towards using more tolerable chemotherapy-free induction and consolidation regimens confers better disease outcomes and might obviate the need for HSCT.
T2DM is an increasing chronic disease affecting over 2 million people in England alone, shortens life and consumes 10% of NHS resources. At diagnosis many have established complications involving damage to the eyes, kidneys, feet and heart. There is a need to focus efforts to prevent this devastating disease. One in 7 adults have Pre-diabetes (PDM) with 50% developing T2DM over the next 5-10 years. There is clear evidence that treating subjects with PDM with an intensive lifestyle modification programme (LSMP) dramatically reduces T2DM. These programmes are not cost effective, involve intensive use of resources and are unproven in the UK. Some minority ethnic groups have a higher risk of T2DM, any LSMP would need to be culturally sensitive. Our objective is to test if we can develop a low cost but effective LSMP for the UK. We will develop a training programme to skill healthcare professionals and non-professionals and so called 'lay' educators to deliver the LSMP. Benefits of lay educators are patient involvement in a patient centred service and the contribution to building capacity within the NHS workforce. We will develop a simple self-assessment tool to identify those at highest risk of T2DM. We will conduct a clinical trial, testing the LSMP in 50 practices and 816 patients. The practices will be randomised to either a control or intervention 'arm'. Control practices will give information to patients at risk in line with current best practice. Subjects in the Intervention practices will be invited to the LSMP and will receive 6 hours of group education over 3 months plus ongoing contact. Subjects will be followed for 3 years. The LSMP will encourage individuals to scrutinise information, ask questions, and self-manage their condition, using simple, non-technical language and visual aids. This approach has been effective in T2DM and we will use this model along with expertise in physical activity and lifestyle change, working with leading experts. The study is designed to show if we can significantly reduce the risk of developing T2DM, as well as the effect on weight, blood pressure, patients' quality of life, physical activity and dietary behaviours. We will demonstrate its cost effectiveness to ensure relevance to the NHS. The research team have international expertise in prevention of T2DM.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare 3 intraoperative modalities to determine the best and most convenient one for pain control for uniportal lung surgery. This study compared general anesthesia with serratus plane block, general anesthesia with epidural, and general anesthesia alone to examine postoperative pain scores in patients.
METHODS: Eighty patients were enrolled and statistically analyzed. Three interventions were studied: general anesthesia with serratus plane block (group S), general anesthesia with thoracic epidural (group E), and general anesthesia only (group G). Outcome measures compared among the 3 groups included demographic characteristics; surgical types; anesthesia and operative time; postoperative pain scores; vital signs; morphine consumption at 0, 2, and 6 hours and day 1 and day 2 after surgery; incidence of opioid-related adverse events and chronic pain; hospital length of stay (LOS); and overall expenses. The numerical rating scale was used to assess the degree of pain on the first and second postoperative days. Postoperative morphine consumption, incidence of opioid-related side effects, hospital LOS, and overall hospital expenses were documented, as well as incidence of chronic postoperative pain.
FINDINGS: There was no difference in the incidence of opioid-related adverse events and chronic pain, hospital LOS, and overall expenses among the 3 groups. After investigating factors that may influence hospital LOS and overall expenses, the multivariable analysis indicated that only longer operative time was associated with longer hospital stay and more hospital expenses.
IMPLICATIONS: This prospective study found that general anesthesia alone offers an easy and efficient approach resulting in similar postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption compared with nerve block and epidural. Longer operative time was associated with longer hospital stay and more hospital expenses.

A genomic DNA encoding a human imidazoline receptor is described. cDNAs encoding the receptor and fragments thereof are also provided. An amino acid sequence predicted to be 120,000 MW for nearly the entire protein is identified, as well as a middle fragment believed to contain the imidazoline binding site of the receptor. The protein is highly unique in its sequence and may represent the first in a novel family of receptor proteins. Methods of cloning the cDNA and expressing the imidazoline receptor in a host cell are described. Methods of preparing antibodies against the transfected protein are also described. Also, a screening method for identifying additional subtypes of this receptor are identified. Also, screening methods for identifying drugs that interact with the imidazoline receptor are described.
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, accounting for 85% to 95% of ocular melanoma cases. However, UM represents only about 3% to 5% of all melanomas in the United States (US). UM most commonly arises from choroidal melanocytes (85-90%), but can also arise from the iris (3-5%) and ciliary body (5-8%). The median age of diagnosis is approximately 62; however, the peak range for diagnosis is between 70 and 79. Males have a 30% greater incidence than females. A variety of putative risk factors have been identified, including the presence of light eyes, fair skin, an inability to tan, ocular melanocytosis, dysplastic nevus syndrome, and germline BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) mutations.

Importantly, there are no recent or on-going multi-center natural history studies being conducted in this disease, and this effort is the only one to be launched with the goal of capturing the complete course of this disease, from diagnosis, initial management, surveillance, and treatment of recurrent disease in a national and international setting. This registry is especially important in providing such needed data.
The impact of variations in the three-dimensional structure of the genome has been recognized, but solid cancer tissue studies are limited. Here, we performed integrated deep Hi-C sequencing with matched whole-genome sequencing, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) sequencing and RNA sequencing across a cohort of 80 biopsy samples from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dramatic differences were present in gene expression, 5-methylcytosine/5hmC methylation and in structural variation versus mutation rate between A and B (open and closed) chromatin compartments. A subset of tumors exhibited depleted regional chromatin contacts at the AR locus, linked to extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) and worse response to AR signaling inhibitors. We also identified topological subtypes associated with stark differences in methylation structure, gene expression and prognosis. Our data suggested that DNA interactions may predispose to structural variant formation, exemplified by the recurrent TMPRSS2-ERG fusion. This comprehensive integrated sequencing effort represents a unique clinical tumor resource.
Patients undergo CT stimulation with or without IV contrast over 1.5 hours on days -15 to -1, then undergo SOC chemoradiation on days 1-40. Patients also undergo additional CT scan simulations without IV contrast over 20 minutes each on days 15 and 29.
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for detecting an anastomosis leakage at the tubular tissue of a subject. The method can include applying a composition to an exterior of an anastomosis site in the tubular tissue of said subject and monitoring a urine color of the subject after the composition is applied. The composition may include a bioabsorbable binding medium and a biocompatible chromophore at least partially encapsulated in the bioabsorbable binding medium. Also disclosed are implantable films including: a first layer having a first bioabsorbable polymer and a biocompatible chromophore; and a second layer having a second bioabsorbable polymer. The biocompatible chromophore can be embedded within the bioabsorbable polymer. The second layer can be substantially free of the bioabsorbable polymer.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are characterized by reduced muscle strength and functional capacity. For MS patients, improvements in muscle strength and thereby functional capacity, would have the potential to make both the daily living easier and to extend the time living independently. Attempts to improve muscle strength and function include the application of physical training, although the general advice to MS patients for many years has been to avoid participation in physical training. It has now been demonstrated that endurance training at low to moderate intensity is well tolerated by MS patients, but it only induces modest improvements in both muscle strength and functional capacity. Heavy progressive resistance training (HPRT) has proven to be the most effective means to improve muscle strength and functional capacity during daily activities in healthy older people. However, the effects of HPRT have not been investigated in randomised control trials in MS patients.
