PURPOSE: To obtain an oral magnesium and potassium composition for treatment or prevention of K and Mg lack in skeletal muscle and heart muscle by including biologically usable K and Mg and forming the composition so that the K may be released at a sufficiently slow rate after an oral administration to minimize the irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. CONSTITUTION: This oral magnesium and potassium composition includes 3-50m equivalent (preferably 3-15m equivalent) K and 0.1-25m equivalent (preferably 1-7m equivalent) Mg as pharmaceutically permissible salt forms, and the equivalent ratio of K:Mg is (2:1) to (14:1). Further, the composition is formed so that the K may be released is a sufficiently slow rate to the gastrointestinal tract after the oral administration. The composition is used for treatment or prevention of simultaneous K and Mg lack in cells in skeletal muscle and heart muscle due to exhaustion of the gastrointestinal tract or renal function damage. The K is preferably present in a form of KC1 and the Mg is preferably present in a form of an edible supplement salt (e.g. magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate). Further, the form of the composition is preferably a tablet form.
The role of postoperative radiotherapy in thymoma is controversial. Some retrospective studies were for the radiotherapy, but others were against. However, more inherent biases existed in these trials. Resection, Masaoka stage and pathology were widely accepted as the prognostic factors for thymoma. Furthermore, the frequency of local failure after radical resection was still high in Masaoka stage II-III B type thymoma. With the conformal technique appearing, conformal radiotherapy can escalate the dose without increasing the risk of normal tissue toxicities.
Subjects will receive topical application of GSK2981278 4% ointment twice daily for 8 weeks. Based on new safety information, the concentration of GSK2981278 may be lowered to 2% or 0.8%.
Disclosed are techniques for characterizing variants of interest and predicting assignments of individuals to communities based on obtained genetic information. To characterize a variant, DNA datasets of reference individuals are accessed and used to generate a cluster with additional individuals. Reference individuals carry a variant at a genetic locus and the additional individuals share IBD with reference individuals. Statistics of genealogical data of the cluster are generated. A result summarizing the characterization of the variant is generated based on the statistics. To determine if an individual belongs to a community, a subset of the individual's haplotypes are inputted into a community-specific model. The model is trained using the training samples that each include haplotypes of reference individuals and a label identifying whether the reference individual belongs to the community. Based on the output of the model, it is determined whether the individual is a member of the community.
BACKGROUND: Most pituitary adenomas (PAs), also termed pituitary neuroendocrine tumors, are benign in nature and can be treated effectively by surgical resection, medical treatment, and in special cases by radiotherapy. However, invasive growth can be an important feature of a more aggressive behavior and adverse prognosis. The extension of PAs into the cavernous sinus can be categorized according to the Knosp criteria on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Comparative analyses of MRI features and intraoperative findings of invasive growth regarding different clinical factors are still scarce.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of 764 PAs that were surgically treated between October 2004 and April 2018. Invasive growth was assessed according to the surgical reports and preoperative MRI (Knosp criteria). Clinical data, such as patient age at diagnosis and gender, histopathological adenoma type, and extent of resection, were collected.
RESULTS: Invasive features on MRI were seen in 24.4% (Knosp grades 3A-4, 186/764) of the cases. Intraoperatively, invasion was present in 42.4% (324/764). Complete resection was achieved in 80.0% of adenomas and subtotal resection, in 20.1%. By multivariate analysis, invasion according to intraoperative findings was associated with the sparsely granulated corticotroph (SGCA, P = .0026) and sparsely granulated somatotroph (SGSA, P = .0103) adenoma type as well as age (P = .0287). Radiographic invasion according to Knosp grades 3A-4 correlated with age (P = .0098), SGCAs (P = .0005), SGSAs (P = .0351), and gonadotroph adenomas (P = .0478). Both criteria of invasion correlated with subtotal resection (P = .0001, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: Both intraoperative and radiographic signs of invasive growth are high-risk lesions for incomplete extent of resection and occur more frequently in older patients. A particularly high prevalence of invasion can be found in the SGCA and SGSA types. Cavernous sinus invasion is also more common in gonadotroph adenomas. Usage of the Knosp classification is a valuable preoperative estimation tool.
Patients receive palonosetron hydrochloride IV, placebo subcutaneously (SC), and dexamethasone IV on day 1 of chemotherapy course 1. Patients in the high-risk (level 5) stratum also receive oral dexamethasone on days 2-4 of all treatment courses.
At the completion of neurology evaluation, if NCSE is in the differential diagnosis according to institution best practice, then consented participants will undergo placement of a large size, 20-channel EEG cap from Electro-Cap International with a Natus E-2-2520-26 electrode board adapter with initiation of recording. The placement of the EEG cap will be restricted to residents formally trained in its placement by an EEG tech. This study will only be performed during times when EEG techs are not available onsite for rapid placement of standard 21-channel EEG electrodes, such as during night-call shifts.

Prior to placement of EEG cap, evaluating staff member will request immediate standard-electrode EEG. The investigators will record time from neurology consultation request to placement of EEG cap as well as time from consultation request to obtaining a standard EEG. The investigators will also record time to confirmation or exclusion of NCSE. Initial diagnosis or exclusion of NCSE will be performed by on call resident, if the resident received prior training regarding EEG cap placement, and attending. Secondary quality assessment will be performed by two independent EEG interpreters blinded to clinical history. Secondary assessment will be qualified as acceptable or inacceptable interpretation based on whether greater or less than 50% of the recording is judged interpretable. Secondary assessment will also include interpretation of NCSE by a third independent reader if there is disagreement between first two. The number of patients excluded from the study will also be recorded, including the reason for exclusion.
Clonidine may potentiate the CNS-depressive effect of alcohol, barbiturates or other sedating drugs. Narcotic analgesics may potentiate the hypotensive effects of clonidine. Tricyclic antidepressants may antagonize the hypotensive effects of clonidine. The effects of tricyclic antidepressants on clonidine's analgesic actions are not known.

Beta-blockers may exacerbate the hypertensive response seen with clonidine withdrawal. Also, due to the potential for additive effects such as bradycardia and AV block, caution is warranted in patients receiving clonidine with agents known to affect sinus node function or AV nodal conduction, e.g., digitalis, calcium channel blockers, and beta-blockers.

There is one reported case of a patient with acute delirium associated with the simultaneous use of fluphenazine and oral clonidine. Symptoms resolved when clonidine was withdrawn and recurred when the patient was rechallenged with clonidine.

Epidural clonidine may prolong the duration of pharmacologic effects of epidural local anesthetics, including both sensory and motor blockade.

INTRODUCTION: The standard surgical procedure for unstable ankle fractures is fixation of the lateral malleolus with a plate and screws. This method has a high risk of complications, especially among patients with fragile skin conditions. The aim of this study was to estimate the re-operation rates and identify complications in patients with an unstable ankle fracture, surgically treated with an intramedullary screw or rush pin.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified all patients who were surgically treated with either a 3.5-mm screw or rush pin at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, from 2012 to 2018. Major complications were re-operations within three months. We included 80 patients, of which 55 (69%) were treated with a 3.5-mm intramedullary screw and 25 (31%) with a rush pin. The majority of the study population was female (59) and the mean age was 75 (range 24 to 100) years. Of the 80 patients included, 41 patients had more than 2 comorbidities.
RESULTS: Three patients underwent re-operation within three months due to either fracture displacement or hardware cutout. Radiographs obtained after six weeks showed that nine patients had loss of reduction. Additionally, four patients had superficial wound infections and six patients had delayed wound healing.
CONCLUSIONS: Intramedullary fixation of distal fibula fractures with either a screw or rush pin has low re-operation rates. However, the high proportion of patients with radiological loss of reduction is concerning.

El Valor de Nuestra Salud \[The Value of Our Health\] is a 5-year study (2010-2014) involving grocery stores in San Diego County funded by the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of the study is to determine whether an in-store program can promote healthy foods through grocery stores. Sixteen stores in San Diego County participated in El Valor de Nuestra Salud. The stores that participated in this study were randomly assigned to either the intervention (program and evaluation) or control (evaluation only) group. We tested various strategies to promote healthy food shopping among customers of small-to-medium size Latino/Hispanic grocery stores. These strategies included changes to the store environment, food marketing efforts, and training of sales associates. Our evaluation protocol is designed to determine whether the project was successful at improving aspects of the store and the employees, as well as whether customers shop for and eat healthier food products. Customers were recruited as they enter the store to participate in project interviews and objective weight measures at baseline, 6-months post-baseline, and 12-months post-baseline. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of the El Valor de Nuestra Salud intervention on consumption of fruits and vegetables among store customers.
A total of 720 barrows (line 200 × 400, DNA genetics) were used in two 42-d nursery trials (initially 6.20 ± 0.12 kg and 5.63 ± 0.16 kg, respectively) to evaluate strategies for allotting pigs to pens in randomized controlled trials. At placement, the population was split into three cohorts with similar average weight and standard deviation and randomly assigned to one of the three allotment strategies. Strategy 1 (random) utilized a simple randomization strategy with each pig randomized to pens independent of all other pigs. Strategy 2 (body weight [BW] distribution) sorted each pig within the cohort into one of the five BW groups. One pig from each weight group was then randomly assigned to a pen such that distribution of BW within pen was uniform across pens. Strategy 3 (BW grouping) sorted pigs within the cohort into 3 BW categories: light, medium, and heavy. Within each BW category, pigs were randomized to pen to create pens of pigs from each BW category. Within each experiment, there were 72 pens with five pigs per pen and 24 pens per allotment strategy. For all strategies, once pigs were allotted to pens, pens were allotted to one of the two treatments for a concurrent trial. In experiment 1, environmental enrichment using ropes tied near the pan of the feeder was compared to a control with no enrichment. In experiment 2, treatment diets consisted of basal levels of Zn and Cu from the trace mineral premix for the duration of the study (110 and 17 mg/kg, respectively; control), or diets (supplemented control) with carbadox (50 g/ton; Mecadox, Phibro Animal Health, Teaneck, NJ) fed in phase 1 (days 0 to 22) and 2 (days 22 to 43), pharmacological levels of Zn and Cu (2,414 mg/kg Zn from ZnO; 168 mg/kg Cu from CuSO4) fed in phase 1, and only pharmacological levels of Cu (168 mg/kg Cu from CuSO4) fed in phase 2. These treatment designs were used to determine the impact on coefficient of variation (CV) and to estimate the number of replications required to find significant treatment differences based on allotment strategy. There were no meaningful allotment strategy × treatment interactions for either study. For between-pen CV, pigs allotted using BW distribution and BW grouping strategies had the lowest CV at allotment and final weight in both trials. For overall average daily gain in experiments 1 and 2 in experiment 2, the BW distribution strategy required the fewest replications to detect differences in performance. However, there is no meaningful difference between allotment strategies in replications required to detect significant differences for gain:feed ratio.

PURPOSE: To describe the occurrence of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy as the initial presentation in a HIV-positive patient.
METHODS: Observational case report of one patient and literature review.
RESULTS: An active 21-year-old white woman presented to the emergency department with anterior segment complaints. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed numerous, polymorphous, bleb-like lesions at the posterior pole, corresponding, on structural imaging (optical coherence tomography) to subretinal detachments. The bleb-like lesions on infrared imaging were slightly autofluorescent on fundus autofluorescence. Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography showed signal attenuation because of the presence of subretinal fluid in the choriocapillaris segmentation. Multimodal imaging findings were suggestive for acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy. Hence, a systemic blood workup was performed. The workup returned positive for HIV, and an antiviral therapy was introduced.
CONCLUSION: The fortuitous diagnosis of HIV having as the initial presentation acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy in an asymptomatic patient highlights the value of a thorough clinical examination and multimodal imaging in correctly diagnosing this rare disorder and its cause. This case report could prove helpful to clinicians faced with this rare scenario.

INTRODUCTION: The treatment of children with pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) has naturally progressed from open, to minimally invasive approaches, including laparoscopic pyeloplasty and robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP). The RALP is now considered to be the gold standard for paediatric patients with PUJO, except for smaller infants due to size limitations. Our systematic review aims to synthesise all the available evidence regarding key postoperative outcomes for the three surgical approaches to pyeloplasties in children. Our outcomes of interest include, but are not limited to, the reoperation rate, length of hospital stay and postoperative complications as classified by the Clavien-Dindo grading system. A comprehensive assessment of all three methods in paediatric patients has yet to be conducted in the literature to date.
METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A systematic search of the MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases will be conducted. Screening, data extraction, statistical analysis and reporting will be performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Included papers will be full-text manuscripts written between 1947 and March 2024, comparing the outcomes and complications of open, laparoscopic and RALP. Quality and study bias will be assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa score and, if relevant, the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomised trials. This present protocol is written in accordance with the PRISMA Protocol 2015 checklist, ensuring that the highest methodological standards are adhered to.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No ethical approval shall be required, as this is a review of already published literature. Findings will be disseminated through publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at international and national conferences.
