Osgood-Schlatter syndrome (OSS), Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome (SLJ), or Sever's disease are three types of apophysitis, or secondary growth center irritation, that frequently affect children and teens. Although these conditions are common, there is very little data from high quality studies to support a particular treatment method in affected patients. The purpose of this study is to compare three different treatments for these types of apophysitis. The investigators plan to compare two types of home exercise program (HEP), one involving active elongation exercises and one utilizing static stretching, with symptomatic treatment consisting of icing, over-the-counter medications and relative rest. The investigators hypothesize that the active elongation HEP will result in improvement in pain and earlier return to athletic activities when compared to the static stretching HEP and symptomatic care. This pilot study will recruit subjects at the Ann \& Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital outpatient sports medicine and orthopaedic clinics with any of the following types of lower extremity apophysitis: OSS, SLJ or Sever's disease. Subjects will complete a baseline evaluation and questionnaire and will be randomized into one of the three treatment groups. At 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, subjects from all groups will use a secure website to complete an online survey to complete questions regarding current pain level, compliance with their home exercise program, if applicable, use of other forms of treatment or pain management (e.g. splinting, icing, rest from activities) and current activity level. The investigators will compare results from each group to determine which treatment(s) resulted in the largest improvements in pain scores and the highest rates of participation in sports and recreational activities.
The enteric nervous system (ENS) has been recognized as the "second brain" as it can regulate enteric physiology without central nervous system input. Similar to the central nervous system, it is composed of multiple neuron populations whose main functions are gut motility, secretion, and absorption. In addition to the neurons, the ENS contains glia cells whose main role is neuroprotection but also contribute to normal gut motility. Several studies have demonstrated that the microbiota and the ENS have an intimate relationship that begins in utero, and it is critical for its normal development. Neurons can recognize bacteria and their products. Several investigators have shown neuronal loss after enteric infections and antibiotic (Ampicillin) treatment in the muscularis layer, that results in delayed transit time in animal models. Hence, communication between the microbiota and the ENS is important to maintain normal gut motility. Disorders of Gut-Brain Interactions (DGBIs) are quite common, among these are Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) defined by Rome IV criteria as abdominal pain associated with a change in consistency and frequency of bowel movements and the constipation predominant subtype (less than 3 bowel movements per week) is the most prevalent, which is also the most common motility disorder that mouse models of infection and antibiotics treatment exhibit. IBS has been associated with dysbiosis and a recent study demonstrated that antibiotic use immediately before or after screening colonoscopy increased the risk of developing IBS. In addition, dysfunction of submucosal neurons in IBS has been previously reported but whether there are changes in neuron numbers or neuron characteristics has not been explored. While there have been prospective studies that have explored the effects of antibiotics in patients treated for Helicobacter Pylori, there have been other investigators who have focused on the long term effects of antibiotics in healthy volunteers.

Therefore, similar to animal models, investigators propose that humans experience a profound and transient loss/alteration of neurons in the setting of antimicrobial use associated dysbiosis that manifest as DGBIs, most notably the constipation subtypes. This proposal will address whether antimicrobial use leads to quantitative and qualitative changes in the populations of submucosal neurons and glia cells in human subjects.

This hypothesis will be tested in a prospective study in which healthy participants will be asked to take the commonly used antibiotic amoxicillin twice a day for 7 days, and colon tissue biopsies will be obtained before and after treatment. Human tissue will be processed and analyzed to visualize structural changes, and changes in gene expression, bacteria, metabolites will be determined through single nuclei RNA sequencing, 16S ribosomal bacteria RNA sequencing and metabolomics analysis respectively.

Compositions comprising a cell expressing an AC133 cell surface antigen and an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds to the antigen are provided. Expression of the antigen is highly tissue specific. It is detected on a subset of hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells derived from human bone marrow, fetal bone marrow and liver, cord blood and adult peripheral blood. The subset of cells recognized by AC133 is CD34 bright  and contains substantially all of the CFU-GM activity present in the CD34 +  population. This highly specific distribution of AC133 makes it exceptionally useful as a reagent for isolating and characterizing human hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells. Cells selected for expression of AC133 antigen can be further purified by selection for other hematopoietic stem cell and progenitor cell markers.

AIM: With scarce data on the need and type of joint surgery in SLE, we investigated the long-term rates and underlying causes for arthroplasty, arthrodesis and synovectomy in patients with SLE.
METHODS: Procedure dates for arthroplasty, arthrodesis or synovectomy were retrieved from the state-wide Hospital Morbidity Data Collection between 1985 and 2015 for patients with SLE (n=1855) and propensity-matched controls (n=12 840). Patients with SLE with ≥two additional diagnostic codes for rheumatoid arthritis were classified as rhupus. ORs and incidence rates (IRs) per 100 person-years for joint procedures (JPs) were compared among patients with rhupus, patients with other SLE and controls across three study decades by regression analysis.
RESULTS: More patients with SLE than controls underwent a JP (11.6% vs 1.3%; OR 10.8, CI 8.86 to 13.24) with a higher IR for JP in patients with SLE (1.9 vs 0.1, rate ratio 19.9, CI 16.83 to 23.55). Among patients with SLE, patients with rhupus (n=120, 60.5%) had the highest odds of arthroplasty (OR 4.49, CI 2.87 to 6.92), arthrodesis (OR 6.64, CI 3.28 to 12.97) and synovectomy (OR 9.02,CI 4.32 to 18.23). Over time, the IR for overall JP in patients with rhupus was unchanged (8.7 to 8.6, R2=0.004, p=0.98), although the IR for avascular necrosis underlying arthroplasty decreased for all patients with SLE (0.52 to 0.10, p=0.02). Patients with other SLE also had significantly higher OR and IR for all three JPs than controls with insignificant decreases in synovectomy and increases in arthroplasty over time in this group.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall burden of joint surgery in SLE is high and despite a reduction in avascular necrosis, arthroplasty and arthrodesis rates have not decreased over time. These data indicate a need for increased efforts to prevent joint damage in patients with lupus.
Tri-cycle norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets were evaluated for the treatment of acne vulgaris in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, six- (28 day) cycle studies. Two hundred twenty-one patients received tri-cycle norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and 234 patients received placebo. Mean age at enrollment for both groups was 28 years. At the end of 6 months, the mean total lesion count changed from 55 to 31 (42% reduction) in patients treated with tri-cycle norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and from 54 to 38 (27% reduction) in patients similarly treated with placebo. Table 4 summarizes the changes in lesion count for each type of lesion. Based on the investigator's global assessment conducted at the final visit, patients treated with tri-cycle norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets showed a statistically significant improvement in total lesions compared to those treated with placebo.
Absorption

Emtricitabine is rapidly and extensively absorbed following oral administration with peak plasma concentrations occurring at 1–2 hours post-dose. Following multiple dose oral administration of EMTRIVA capsules to 20 HIV-1-infected subjects, the (mean ± SD) steady-state plasma emtricitabine peak concentration (Cmax) was 1.8 ± 0.7 µg/mL and the area-under the plasma concentration-time curve over a 24-hour dosing interval (AUC) was 10.0 ± 3.1 µg∙hr/mL. The mean steady state plasma trough concentration at 24 hours post-dose was 0.09 µg/mL. The mean absolute bioavailability of EMTRIVA capsules was 93% while the mean absolute bioavailability of EMTRIVA oral solution was 75%. The relative bioavailability of EMTRIVA oral solution was approximately 80% of EMTRIVA capsules.

The multiple dose pharmacokinetics of emtricitabine are dose proportional over a dose range of 25–200 mg.
Patients will be treated with doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 IV on day 1 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 IV on day 1 every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV weekly for 12 weeks concurrently with carboplatin (area under the curve: 6 mg/ml/min, i.v. every 3 weeks for four cycles).
Persons who are using drugs that suppress the immune system, such as corticosteroids, including SINUVA Sinus Implant are more susceptible to infections than healthy individuals. Chickenpox and measles, for example, can have a more serious or even fatal course in susceptible children or adults using corticosteroids. In such children or adults who have not had these diseases or who are not properly immunized, particular care should be taken to avoid exposure. How the dose, route, and duration of corticosteroid administration affect the risk of developing a disseminated infection is not known. The safety and effectiveness of SINUVA Sinus Implant have not been established in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age and SINVA is not indicated for use in this population.

The contribution of the underlying disease and/or prior corticosteroid treatment to the risk is also not known. If exposed to chickenpox, prophylaxis with varicella zoster immune globulin (VZIG) may be indicated. If exposed to measles, prophylaxis with pooled intramuscular immunoglobulin (IG) may be indicated (See the respective Prescribing Information for VZIG and IG). If chickenpox develops, treatment with antiviral agents may be considered.

Corticosteroids should be used with caution, if at all, in patients with active or quiescent tuberculosis infection of the respiratory tract; untreated systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections; or ocular herpes simplex.
With rates growing quickly with age, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of chronic disability in aging persons. The discomfort and reduced motion associated with osteoarthritis have a significant impact on quality of life, and there is no known solution. Runt-related transcription factor 1(Runx1) has been shown to play a protective role in the development of osteoarthritis by promoting chondrogenesis. We had created models of ageing mice with osteoarthritis by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) and analyzed the effects of intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus/Runx1 (AAV/Runx1) on the models. The results showed that the AAV/Runx1-group maintained better articular cartilage integrity and retained more proteoglycan than the OA group after injection of AAV-Runx1. The markers related to pathological changes in cartilage were downregulated, while the markers related to physiological changes in cartilage were upregulated. This suggests that Runx1 may impede OA progression on the knee joint of ageing mice, potentially playing a protective role in OA and becoming a probable treatment target for osteoarthritis among ageing patients in the future.
In cohort 2, carmustine will be on Day -7, cytrabine and etoposide on Day -6 to Day -3, and melphalan (70mg/m2 /day IV) will be administered on day -2 followed by PK samples to determine the melphalan dose on day -1 using the population PK model. PK samples will be collected again after the dose on day -1 to confirm the total melphalan AUC of 8.5 (+/- 1.5) mg\*h/L. Six peripheral blood samples of 5 ml in lithium heparin tubes will be collected at 5, 15, 30, 40, 75, and 150 minutes after the melphalan, for PK testing. The first four time points are +/- 2 min and the last two time points are +/- 5 minutes.
AIM: Chronic hypoxia is a common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH). We test the hypothesis that microRNA-210 (miR-210) mediates hypoxia-induced PH by targeting mitochondrial metabolism and increasing reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production in the lungs.
METHODS: Adult wildtype (WT) or miR-210 knockout (KO) mice were exposed to hypoxia (10.5% O2) or normoxia for 4 weeks. We measured miR-210 levels, right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), and histological changes in heart and lung tissues. Mitochondrial bioenergetics and mtROS production were assessed in isolated lung mitochondria.
RESULTS: Hypoxia increased right ventricular wall thickness and pulmonary vessel wall muscularization in WT, but not miR-210 KO mice. No sex differences were observed. In male mice, hypoxia increased miR-210 levels in the lung and RVSP, which were abrogated by miR-210 deficiency. Hypoxia upregulated mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and mtROS flux, which were negated in miR-210 KO animals. In addition, chronic hypoxia increased macrophage accumulation in lungs of WT, but not miR-210 KO mice. Moreover, miR-210 overexpression in lungs of WT animals recapitulated the effects of hypoxia and increased mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, mtROS flux, right ventricular wall thickness, pulmonary vessel wall muscularization and RVSP. MitoQ revoked the effects of miR-210 on lung mitochondrial bioenergetics, right ventricular and pulmonary vessel remodeling and RVSP.
CONCLUSION: Our findings with loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches provide explicit evidence that miR-210 mediates hypoxia-induced PH by upregulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and mtROS production in a murine model, revealing new insights into the mechanisms and therapeutic targets for treatment of PH.
Phase II Trial (MAGMA): treatment standard of FLT3 mutated AML (7+3 standard chemotherapy scheme using cytarabine 200 mg/m\^2 cont. inf. i.v. and daunorubicin 60 mg/m\^2 i.v plus midostaurin). No additional GO is given.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth. Digital tools, especially personal smartphones, are promising avenues to address these issues and can be used to provide a unique understanding of risk factors, including psychological distress, anhedonia and behavioral withdrawal, and sleep disturbance among high-risk individuals. This project aims to enhance the effectiveness of the delivery of preventative health care to youth at risk for suicide by developing a comprehensive digital platform that allows practitioners to integrate mobile sensing data and HIPAA-compliant client communication tools into their management of these young people. Specifically, we will conduct a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) based at the intensive outpatient services (Intensive Adolescent and Family DBT Program (Columbia Doctors)) to test the impact of using the Vira platform for patients versus treatment as usual control (TAU; i.e., not using Vira). This project will include adolescent patients (n = 200) aged 13-18-years-old randomized to: (a) Vira group (n = 100) and (b) treatment as usual control group (n = 100). Participants will include current patients receiving treatment in the intensive outpatient program, and all treatment decisions will be overseen by practitioners within the program. The overarching goal is to test whether using the Vira platform in the context of an intensive outpatient setting improves clinical outcomes.

Intervention: laparoscope to place TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine and bupivacaine plain 0.25%. Ketorolac 30 mg IV will be given following surgical procedure.
The experimental group (23 participants) was enrolled in the intervention, the Fit \& Strong! program. The program consists in 24 sessions each divided in two parts. The first part is the exercise component (60 minutes) and the second is the educational component (30 minutes). The program was provided in two classes, the first class took place from October to December 2017 and the second class took place from October to November 2018. The experimental group was enrolled in the intervention (8 weeks).
Diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibiotics which usually ends when the antibiotic is discontinued. Sometimes after starting treatment with antibiotics, patients can develop watery and bloody stools (with or without stomach cramps and fever) even as late as two or more months after having taken the last dose of the antibiotic. If this occurs, patients should contact their physician as soon as possible.

Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines. Patients apt to be exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light should be advised that this reaction can occur with tetracycline drugs, and treatment should be discontinued at the first evidence of skin erythema. This reaction has been reported with use of minocycline.

Patients who experience central nervous system symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery while on minocycline therapy. (See WARNINGS.)

Concurrent use of tetracycline with oral contraceptives may render oral contraceptives less effective. (See Drug Interactions.)

Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including MINOCIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Pellet-Filled Capsules should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold). When MINOCIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Pellet-Filled Capsules are prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by MINOCIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Pellet-Filled Capsules or other antibacterial drugs in the future.

Unused supplies of tetracycline antibiotics should be discarded by the expiration date.
