PURPOSE: Quantitative pupillometry (QP) has been increasingly applied in neurocritical care as an easy-to-use and reliable technique for evaluating the pupillary light reflex (PLR). Here, we report our preliminary findings on using QP for clinical brain death (BD) determination.
MATERIALS: This retrospective study included 17 patients ≥ 18 years (mean age, 57.3 years; standard deviation, 15.8 years) with confirmed BD, as defined by German Guidelines for the determination of BD. The PLR was tested using the NPi®-200 Pupillometer (Neuroptics, Laguna Hill, USA), a handheld infrared device automatically tracking and analyzing pupil dynamics over 3 s. In addition, pupil diameter and neurological pupil index (NPi) were also evaluated.
RESULTS: Intracerebral bleeding, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and hypoxic encephalopathy were the most prevalent causes of BD. In all patients, the NPi was 0 for both eyes, indicating the cessation of mid-brain function. The mean diameter was 4.9 mm (± 1.3) for the right pupil and 5.2 mm (±1.2) for the left pupil.
CONCLUSIONS: QP is a valuable tool for the BD certification process to assess the loss of PLR due to the cessation of brain stem function. Furthermore, implementing QP before the withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy in brain-injured patients may reduce the rate of missed organ donation opportunities. Further studies are warranted to substantiate the feasibility and potential of this technique in treating patients and identify suitable candidates for this technique during the BD certification process.
Patients receive mRNA vaccine injection IM on days 0 and 84 on study. Patients undergo blood sample collections throughout the study and are monitored for 1 year.
BACKGROUND: Sleep apnea syndrome, characterized by recurrent cessation (apnea) or reduction (hypopnea) of breathing during sleep, is a major risk factor for postoperative respiratory depression. Challenges in sleep apnea assessment have led to the proposal of alternative metrics derived from oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2), such as oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and percentage of cumulative sleep time spent with SpO2 below 90% (CT90), as predictors of postoperative respiratory depression. However, their performance has been limited with area under the curve of 0.60 for ODI and 0.59 for CT90. Our objective was to propose novel features from preoperative overnight SpO2 which are correlated with sleep apnea severity and predictive of postoperative respiratory depression.
METHODS: Preoperative SpO2 signals from 235 surgical patients were retrospectively analyzed to derive seven features to characterize the sleep apnea severity. The features included entropy and standard deviation of SpO2 signal; below average burden characterizing the area under the average SpO2; average, standard deviation, and entropy of desaturation burdens; and overall nocturnal desaturation burden. The association between the extracted features and sleep apnea severity was assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. Logistic regression was employed to evaluate the predictive performance of the features in identifying postoperative respiratory depression.
RESULTS: Our findings indicated a similar performance of the proposed features to the conventional apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) for assessing sleep apnea severity, with average area under the curve ranging from 0.77 to 0.81. Notably, entropy and standard deviation of overnight SpO2 signal and below average burden showed comparable predictive capability to AHI but with minimal computational requirements and individuals' burden, making them promising for screening purposes. Our sex-based analysis revealed that compared to entropy and standard deviation, below average burden exhibited higher sensitivity in detecting respiratory depression in women than men.
CONCLUSION: This study underscores the potential of preoperative SpO2 features as alternative metrics to AHI in predicting postoperative respiratory.
The effects of age, gender and race on the pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen have not been determined. The effects of reduced liver function on the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen have not been determined.

Pediatric Patients

The pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and N-desmethyl tamoxifen were characterized using a population pharmacokinetic analysis with sparse samples per patient obtained from 27 female pediatric patients aged 2 to 10 years enrolled in a study designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen in treating McCune-Albright Syndrome. Rich data from two tamoxifen citrate pharmacokinetic trials in which 59 postmenopausal women with breast cancer completed the studies were included in the analysis to determine the structural pharmacokinetic model for tamoxifen. A one-compartment model provided the best fit to the data.

In pediatric patients, an average steady-state peak plasma concentration (Css, max) and AUC were of 187 ng/mL and 4110 ng hr/mL, respectively, and Css, max occurred approximately 8 hours after dosing. Clearance (CL/F) as body weight adjusted in female pediatric patients was approximately 2.3-fold higher than in female breast cancer patients. In the youngest cohort of female pediatric patients (2 to 6 year olds), CL/F was 2.6-fold higher; in the oldest cohort (7 to 10.9 year olds) CL/F was approximately 1.9-fold higher. Exposure to N-desmethyl tamoxifen was comparable between the pediatric and adult patients. The safety and efficacy of tamoxifen for girls aged 2 to 10 years with McCune-Albright Syndrome and precocious puberty have not been studied beyond one year of treatment. The long-term effects of tamoxifen therapy in girls have not been established. In adults treated with tamoxifen an increase in incidence of uterine malignancies, stroke and pulmonary embolism has been noted (see BOXED WARNING).
Problems such as poor nutrition, weak sucking, lack of suck-swallow-respiration coordination, low weight gain are among the factors increasing the risk of morbidity in late preterm infants. Early support of sucking and swallowing muscles for the development of suck-swallow coordination can shorten the maturation process and provide early discharge of late preterm infants. The aim of this study is to document kinesiotape technique to support sucking and swallowing muscles for treating nutritional problems and for reducing nutrition risks and accelerating maturation. According to power of analysis of this study, 74 infants planned to assign to kinesiotaping group or control group randomly. In kinesiotaping group, infants feeding performance will be evaluated by measuring the amount of milk invested, maximum heart rate, oxygen saturation, speed of milk intake and counting the number of swallow during feeding. Kinesiotape will be applied to masseter and hyoid muscles 24 hours later after the birth of the infant. Infants will be evaluated before kinesiotape application, 3 hour later and 24 hour later after the application.
Insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells is a key pillar of glucose homeostasis, which is impaired under obesity and aging. Growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) is the receptor of nutrient-sensing hormone ghrelin. Previously, we showed that β-cell GHSR regulated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in young mice. In the current study, we further investigated the effects of GHSR on insulin secretion in male mice under diet-induced obesity (DIO) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced β-cell injury in aging. β-cell-specific-Ghsr-deficient (Ghsr-βKO) mice exhibited no glycemic phenotype under DIO but showed significantly improved ex vivo GSIS in aging. We also detected reduced insulin sensitivity and impaired insulin secretion during aging both in vivo and ex vivo. Accordingly, there were age-related alterations in expression of glucose transporter, insulin signaling pathway, and inflammatory genes. To further determine whether GHSR deficiency affected β-cell susceptibility to acute injury, young, middle-aged, and old Ghsr-βKO mice were subjected to STZ. We found that middle-aged and old Ghsr-βKO mice were protected from STZ-induced hyperglycemia and impaired insulin secretion, correlated with increased expression of insulin signaling regulators but decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines in pancreatic islets. Collectively, our findings indicate that β-cell GHSR has a major impact on insulin secretion in aging but not obesity, and GHSR deficiency protects against STZ-induced β-cell injury in aging.
Natural killer (NK) cells possess the inherent capacity to kill various tumor and virally infected cells and mediate the rejection of bone-marrow grafts in lethally irradiated animals. A large family of NK cell receptors belong to the C-type lectin super-family. Genes in the NK gene complex encode type II receptors and examples include the families of NKR-P1, Ly-49, and NKG2 receptors. Examples of other C-type lectin-like NK cell receptors that occur as individual genes are CD94, CD69, and AICL. The invention includes a cDNA that encodes a predicted protein of 191 amino acid residues having similarity to the carbohydrate recognition domain of C-type lectins. The predicted protein of LLT1 shows 59 and 56% similarity to AICL and CD69, respectively. The predicted protein does not contain any intracellular ITIM motifs indicating the LLT1 protein may be involved in mediating activation signals.

The hair conditioning composition can be prepared into aerosol products such as hair mousses and spray foams.
A cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)-mediated ICB therapy/delivery device are disclosed herein that employs a patch having microneedles that are used to deliver the CAP transdermally along with an immune checkpoint inhibitor for enhancing transdermal treatment efficacy. The hollow-structured microneedle patch can facilitate the transportation of CAP through the skin, causing tumor cell death. The release of cancer antigens then promotes the maturation of dendritic cells in the tumor-draining lymph nodes, subsequently initiating the T cell-mediated immune response. Anti-PDL1 antibody (aPDL1), an immune checkpoint inhibitor (or other immune checkpoint inhibitors), released from the microneedle patch (in some embodiments) further augments the anti-tumor immunity. The transdermal combinational CAP and ICB therapy inhibits tumor growth for both primary tumors as well as distant tumors, with prolonged survival in the tumor-bearing mice. Such results should translate to other species.

BACKGROUND: Healthcare delivery is undergoing radical changes that influence effective infection prevention and control (IPC). Futures research (short: Futures), the science of deliberating on multiple potential future states, is increasingly employed in many core societal fields. Futures might also be helpful in IPC to facilitate current education and organisational decisions. Hence, we conducted an initial survey as part of the IPC Crystal Ball Initiative.
METHODS: In 2019, international IPC experts were invited to answer a 10-item online questionnaire, including demographics, housekeeping, and open-ended core questions (Q) on the "status of IPC in 2030" (Q1), "people in charge of IPC" (Q2), "necessary skills in IPC" (Q3), and "burning research questions" (Q4). The four core questions were submitted to a three-step inductive and deductive qualitative content analysis. A subsequent cross-case matrix produced overarching leitmotifs. Q1 statements were additionally coded for sentiment analysis (positive, neutral, or negative).
RESULTS: Overall, 18 of 44 (41%) invited experts responded (from 11 countries; 12 physicians, four nurses, one manager, one microbiologist; all of them in senior positions). The emerging leitmotifs were "System integration", "Beyond the hospital", "Behaviour change and implementation", "Automation and digitalisation", and "Anticipated scientific progress and innovation". The statements reflected an optimistic outlook in 66% of all codes of Q1.
CONCLUSIONS: The first exercise of the IPC Crystal Ball Initiative reflected an optimistic outlook on IPC in 2030, and participants envisioned leveraging technological and medical progress to increase IPC effectiveness, freeing IPC personnel from administrative tasks to be more present at the point of care and increasing IPC integration and expansion through the application of a broad range of skills. Enhancing participant immersion in future Crystal Ball Initiative exercises through simulation would likely further increase the authenticity and comprehensiveness of the envisioned futures.

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a useful method for readily producing high-purity and low-malodorous squalane.  <P>SOLUTION: A hydrogenation reaction is carried out in two-stage steps of a hydrogenation step at a low temperature in the former stage and a hydrogenation step at a high temperature in the latter stage in the hydrogenation reaction of squalene. Thereby, the formation of by-products in the squalane can be inhibited. That is, the squalane, in which the generation of low-boiling components, medium-boiling components and high-boiling components is inhibited by the hydrogenation at the low temperature in the former stage, is produced and the raw material squalene is reduced by the hydrogenation at the high temperature in the latter stage. After the hydrogenation, a deodorizing treatment with a well-known adsorbent such as activated carbon or activated alumina is carried out to thereby remove the raw material squalene and low-boiling components. As a result, the product is made low-malodorous.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Ethanol is the psychoactive substance identified most frequently in post-mortem specimens. Unfortunately, interpreting post-mortem ethanol concentrations can be difficult because of post-mortem alcohol redistribution and the possibility of post-mortem alcohol neogenesis. Indeed, in the time interval between death and sample collection, the decedent may be exposed to non-controlled environments for an extended period, promoting microbial colonization. Many authors report that in the presence of carbohydrates and other biomolecules, various species of bacteria, yeast, and fungi can synthesize ethanol and other volatile substances in vitro and in vivo. The aim of this study was to study the impact of several variables on microbial ethanol production as well as develop a mathematical model that could estimate the microbial-produced ethanol in correlation with the most significant consensual produced higher alcohol, 1-propanol. An experimental setup was developed using human blood samples and cadaveric fragments incubated under strictly anaerobic conditions to produce a novel substrate, "cadaveric putrefactive blood" mimicking post-mortem corpse conditions. The samples were analyzed daily for ethanol and 1-propanol using an HS-GC-FID validated method. The formation of ethanol was evaluated considering different parameters such as putrefactive stage, blood glucose concentration, storage temperature, and storage time. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test and simple linear regression. The results indicate that the early putrefactive stage, high blood glucose concentration, high temperature, and time of incubation increase microbial ethanol production. In addition, the developed mathematical equation confirms the feasibility of using 1-propanol as a marker of post-mortem ethanol production.
This study will examine whether or not pretreatment with oral norethindrone acetate prior to the insertion of a hormonal intrauterine device will affect post-insertional uterine bleeding. The subjects enrolling in the study will have documented heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and desire the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG IUS) (Mirena®, Bayer, Inc. Pittsburgh, PA) for symptomatic relief. HMB for this study is defined as heavy bleeding at regular intervals at least 20-40 days apart. Subjects will be randomized to one of two groups. One group will receive norethindrone acetate for two consecutive months prior to LNG IUS insertion while the other group will proceed with direct insertion of the LNG IUS with no hormonal pre-treatment. Subjects will be followed for a period of 180 days post LNG IUS insertion. Bleeding patterns will be recorded daily.

PURPOSE: To obtain a solid cleanser composition containing both a higher fatty acid and an aluminum salt, capable of cleansing skins, giving a refreshing touch when rinsed, not causing the lose of moisture when dried, and giving a moist touch. CONSTITUTION: The solid cleanser composition contains both a higher fatty acid (especially preferably lauric acid, myristic acid or palmitic acid) and an aluminum salt (especially preferably aluminum sulfate or aluminum chloride), preferably in amounts of 0.5-10wt.% and 0.5-10wt.%, respectively. The composition may further be mixed with a cool-feeling agent. The composition is obtained e.g. by dissolving the aluminum salt in an alkaline aqueous solution, saponifying an oil or fat with the aqueous solution, and subsequently adding the higher fatty acid to the obtained soap raw material. The cool-feeling agent includes 1-menthol, mint oil, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, camphor and thymol.
It was administered using the beveled end of a 30G ½ needle introduced in the skin in an angle of approximately 30ºC and delivered at a velocity of 40 mL/min. The total quantity of CO2 infused was approximately 20 mL (0,3 to 0,6 mL/kg of patient's body weight) encompassing the whole delimited area.
INTRODUCTION: As one of the major components of the tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) possess profound inhibitory activity against T cells and facilitate tumor escape from immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Converting this pro-tumorigenic toward the anti-tumorigenic phenotype thus is an important strategy for enhancing adaptive immunity against cancer. However, a plethora of mechanisms have been described for pro-tumorigenic differentiation in cancer, metabolic switches to program the anti-tumorigenic property of TAMs are elusive.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: From an unbiased analysis of single-cell transcriptome data from multiple tumor models, we discovered that anti-tumorigenic TAMs uniquely express elevated levels of a specific fatty acid receptor, G-protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84). Genetic ablation of GPR84 in mice leads to impaired pro-inflammatory polarization of macrophages, while enhancing their anti-inflammatory phenotype. By contrast, GPR84 activation by its agonist, 6-n-octylaminouracil (6-OAU), potentiates pro-inflammatory phenotype via the enhanced STAT1 pathway. Moreover, 6-OAU treatment significantly retards tumor growth and increases the anti-tumor efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy.
CONCLUSION: Overall, we report a previously unappreciated fatty acid receptor, GPR84, that serves as an important metabolic sensing switch for orchestrating anti-tumorigenic macrophage polarization. Pharmacological agonists of GPR84 hold promise to reshape and reverse the immunosuppressive TME, and thereby restore responsiveness of cancer to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint blockade.

The invention relates to an epidemiology-based vehicle networking virus propagation prediction method, and belongs to the field of cross application of network security and epidemiology models. Firstly, constructing a traffic model according to vehicle movement characteristics, and considering the speed, acceleration and relative position relation among vehicles. Then, an information propagation model is built in combination with the traffic model, and vehicle communication behaviors and communication ranges are analyzed. On the basis, a virus transmission model is further established, the vehicle state transition, the infection rate and the cure rate are covered, and the vehicle mobility and the communication characteristics are integrated. The model can effectively predict the transmission trend of viruses in the vehicle-mounted network by monitoring the position and the state of the vehicle in real time. Finally, by calculating the number of betting centers, key nodes are identified to inhibit virus transmission. The invention integrates the mobility, communication characteristics and network structure change of the vehicle, combines epidemiological principles, and provides a powerful tool for effectively predicting, preventing and controlling the virus transmission in the Internet of vehicles.
