This study examined a brief intervention to improve medication knowledge and compliance in family medicine patients. The study was conducted in a network of six family medicine residency programs in South Texas, funded by a grant from the Health Research Services Administration. Family medicine patients were invited to participate in the study if they took medicines for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia and responded "yes" to the screening question: "Do you sometimes have trouble taking all your medications as prescribed?"

At enrollment, clinic staff administered a Medication Survey to patients to assess the variables: readiness to change, reported medication knowledge; reported compliance, and predictors of knowledge and compliance. Self-reports of compliance were validated with a social desirability scale, and with physician impressions. Six and twelve weeks post-enrollment, interviewers administered followup surveys by telephone to assess change over time in medication knowledge and compliance. One year post-enrollment, investigators conducted a chart review to examine changes in health outcomes: blood pressure or HbA1c or cholesterol levels, and number of hospitalizations.

Three physicians per clinic site (18 total) conducted medication interventions for the purpose of this study. This intervention was brief behavior change counseling done in the context of a routine office visit, guided by simple strategies outlined in Rollnick et al (1999). First, physicians reviewed subjects= medication regimen and addressed their concerns. We selected a simple strategy from Rollnick et al. - a brainstorming session - that built patients' confidence to change health behaviors. Afterward, physicians offered pillboxes to patients who desired them, and reviewed potential adverse reactions to medicines. One week after the intervention, physicians telephoned patients to reinforce behavior change and to answer questions about the medications. Prior to training physicians to conduct this intervention, we enrolled five subjects per physician into a control group. We attempted to blind physicians to these patients= enrollment status; usual care was provided to control subjects. After training, enrollees' charts were flagged so that physicians knew to conduct the intervention. We sought five patients per physician to receive the intervention.

Subjects who receive rabbit ATG/ CsA will be given rabbit ATG 3.5mg/kg/day for 5 days and CsA 10mg/kg/day orally twice daily for 6 months (15mg/kg/day for children under 12 yrs. Subjects who receive Campath-1H will receive an intravenous infusion for 10 days. Adult subjects will receive 10mg/day (children:0.2mg/kg/day).
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a liquid dentifrice effective in prevention of dental caries, further excellent in stability and capable of being colored by pigment and stably retaining the color by including an effective amount of specific ion into a medium of a liquid dentifrice. SOLUTION: This dentifrice contains an effective amount of bicarbonate ion in the medium. The effective amount of the bicarbonate ion is included by compounding a hydrogen carbonate therein and controlling pH of the medium of the dentifrice between 7.8 and 9.0. Further, when a pigment is used, the commercial value, etc., of the dentifrice is not lowered, because color by the pigment is stably maintained. Citric acid, its salt or para-hydroxybenzoic acid ester is preferably not contained in the liquid dentifrice. A flavoring agent may be contained in the dentifrice. Furthermore, sodium hydrogen carbonate is preferably used as the hydrogen carbonate.
Eligible participants were administered Continuous Erythropoietin Receptor Activator (C.E.R.A.) at a dose of 120, 200, or 360 microgram (mcg), intravenously (IV), every 4 weeks i.e. Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 but not on Weeks 24 and 28. The initial dose of C.E.R.A.was based on the last dose of the previous Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agent (ESA). The ESA therapy was administered from enrollment to the 4 weeks stability verification period (SVP), weekly, either as epoetin (\<8000 IU, 8000-16000 IU, or \>16000 IU) or darbepoetin alpha (\<40 mcg, 40-80 mcg, or \>80 mcg). A telephone follow-up visit took place 4 weeks after the end of C.E.R.A. treatment (Week 28).
At least 84 subjects will be treated bilaterally with two of the four test materials (Test Product #1, Test Product #2, Positive Control, and Negative Control), one per each side of the abdomen and inguinal test sites. Subjects will be required to complete a 14-day pretest conditioning period. Subjects will complete a 2-day test period, during which time subjects' sites will be treated with the test materials and samples taken following treatment. The Cylinder Sampling Technique will be performed for baseline and for sampling 10-minutes, 6-hours, and 24-hours post-test material-application on Test Days.

The effectiveness criteria are that the log10 recoveries of the two test products (1% and 1.5%) are non-inferior to the Positive Control (2.0% chlorhexidine gluconate) with a 0.5 margin (log10 scale) per square centimeter on the abdominal and inguinal sites within 10 minutes after drying. The determination of non-inferiority will be based on the upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval being equal to or less than 0.5. Superiority will not be evaluated in this study.
AURORA is a phase II open-label trial of Atezolizumab in patients with urinary tract squamous cell carcinoma (UTSCC). UTSCC is the most common of the rare urinary tract cancer histologies, comprising 2.1-6.7% of urinary tract cancers overall. There are few data available to guide treatment decisions for UTSCC. The AURORA trial will test the hypothesis that PD-L1 inhibition with atezolizumab immunotherapy is clinically effective, tolerable and safe, in patients with urinary tract squamous cell carcinoma (UTSCC). Translational endpoints will aim to determine characteristics for responsiveness to this treatment. AURORA was developed on behalf of the International Rare Cancers Initiative (IRCI) and the National Cancer Research Institute Bladder and Renal Group.
Medical laboratory assays for delineation of impaired glucose metabolism and overt diabetes mellitus, beyond measurement of (fasting) blood serum or plasma glucose levels, include extent of hemoglobin A1c glycation, concentration of fructosamines, insulin concentrations to calculate the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index and other clinically putative biomarkers of glucose homoeostasis. HbA1c levels form now part of routine elucidation of metabolic disorders and are used for therapy monitoring. Initially used to monitor glucose levels in follow-up care of diabetics it is considered as a track marker of ups and downs of blood glucose concentrations. Its behavior under the 2 h period of oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) is ill known - most clinicians believe the glycation extent will not change. Since the dynamics of glycation is temperature dependent,non-febrile patients under OGTT likely keep their glycation extent between time zero and 120 min after glucose charge constant but this has not been investigated and with the sensitive lab assays for HbA1c now in use we postulate a significant increase in glycation. The Patient Registry includes recruited children and adults sick from diabetes, overweight or metabolic syndrome as a whole. Three medical offices will address their patients to the VidyMed lab to perform the OGTT framed by lab assays on venous blood samples
Infants will be extubated to HHHFNC (Fisher and Paykel Healthcare , Auckland, New Zealand) a ﬂow rate of 3 L/min. Eligible infants will be enrolled while receiving mechanical ventilation.

Single session of 20-min of sham HD-tDCS. The session lasted approximately one hour. The participants returned after 24 hours to perform a retention test.
This group follows a crossover design where adolescents 12-17 years old (n=10) complete a diet recall using one of the two methods (interviewer-administered vs web-based), and then does another diet recall using the other method about a week later. Participants are randomly assigned to the order in which they complete each method of diet recall.
Inform patients that the continued use of diazepam tablets may lead to clinically significant physical dependence and that abrupt discontinuation or rapid dosage reduction of diazepam tablets may precipitate acute withdrawal reactions, which can be life-threatening. Inform patients that in some cases, patients taking benzodiazepines have developed a protracted withdrawal syndrome with withdrawal symptoms lasting weeks to more than 12 months. Instruct patients that discontinuation or dosage reduction of diazepam tablets may require a slow taper (see WARNINGS: Dependence and Withdrawal Reactions and Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.).

Patients should be advised against the simultaneous ingestion of alcohol and other CNS-depressant drugs during diazepam therapy. As is true of most CNS-acting drugs, patients receiving diazepam should be cautioned against engaging in hazardous occupations requiring complete mental alertness, such as operating machinery or driving a motor vehicle.
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a highly fatal abdominal emergency, and its association with protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7), the sole known type III enzyme responsible for the monomethylation of arginine residue, remains unexplored. In this study, we observe an increase in the PRMT7 levels in the pancreas of SAP mice and Cerulein-LPS-stimulated AR42J cells. Overexpression of Prmt7 exacerbated pancreatic damage in SAP, while the inhibition of PRMT7 improved SAP-induced pancreatic damage. Furthermore, PRMT7 overexpression promoted inflammation, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis during SAP. Mechanically, PRMT7 catalyzed monomethylation at histone H4 arginine 3 (H4R3me1) at the promoter region of high mobility group proteins 2 (HMGB2), thereby enhancing its transcriptional activity. Subsequently, HMGB2 facilitated Acyl CoA synthase long-chain family member 1 (ACSL1) transcription by binding to its promoter region, resulting in the activation of ferroptosis. Inhibition of PRMT7 effectively alleviated ferroptosis in Cerulein-LPS-induced AR42J cells by suppressing the HMGB2-ACSL1 pathway. Overall, our study reveals that PRMT7 plays a crucial role in promoting SAP through its regulation of the HMGB2-ACSL1 pathway to accelerate ferroptosis.

The objective of this study is to establish the analgesic efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Durogesic® in the treatment of pediatric patients with chronic pain requiring long-term opioid therapy. Patients may be in-patients or treated at home. This study consists of three phases: a pre-trial phase, a treatment phase, and a follow-up phase. During the pre-trial phase, patients receive immediate-release oral morphine or sustained-release morphine (minimum daily dose of morphine is 30 mg/day) for at least 48 hours immediately prior to entry into the study. Patients achieving adequate pain relief in the pre-trial phase will enter the treatment phase and will be switched over to Durogesic®. The dose of Durogesic® will be calculated from the patient's daily morphine requirement, using the conversion regimen. The minimum starting dose is one patch with a fentanyl delivery rate of approximately 25 micrograms/hour. Titration in steps of 25 micrograms/hour is permitted to achieve adequate pain control. The maximum allowable dose is 300 micrograms/hour. The Durogesic® patch is applied to an area of flat skin on the upper body or upper arm, and replaced every 72 hours. The treatment phase of this study will last for 15 days (5 consecutive patch changes). Immediate-release morphine is available as rescue medication to treat breakthrough pain. Upon completion of the treatment phase, the patient may continue to receive Durogesic® therapy in the long-term follow-up phase, as long as the patient, parent or the investigator feels that it is beneficial. The primary measures of effectiveness include the patient's assessment of treatment at Day 15, pain level assessed by the patient twice daily, once in the morning and in the evening (or assessed by the parent if the patient is younger than age 5), the amount of rescue medication that the patient requires, and the pain level at the time rescue medication is given and one hour afterwards. In patients where venous access (either central or peripheral) is available, or if blood is being taken for some other purpose, blood samples will be taken to determine serum fentanyl concentrations. Safety evaluations will include the incidence of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, assessment of the skin at the site of patch application, and vital signs. Durogesic® will be applied to the upper body or upper arm, and replaced every 72 hours. The minimum starting dose is one patch with a fentanyl delivery rate of approximately 25 micrograms/hour, titrated to achieve adequate pain control, up to a maximum dose of 300 micrograms/hour. The treatment phase is 15 days.

This patent is an evolution of U.S. Pat. No. 4,216,770 named “sickle cell therapeutic treatment”. That patent is one in which blood is taken out of the subject and treated with anti-sickling agents which are then washed out. In this application blood is removed from a subject and instead filtered to remove diseased cells. The option to introduce anti-sickling agents is then left as a possible option. The filtered cells are then returned to the subject. This technology is superior to other treatments since it can help end sickle cell crises before permanent damage it done. Instead of sickled cells breaking down within the body where they compound damage, they are removed before they can cause problems. More deformable and useful blood cells are retained in the circulation.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a decomposition accelerating agent for hyaluronic acid which acts on cells in human connective tissues by including a chondroitin sulfuric acid C derivative and/or its salt. SOLUTION: A decomposition accelerating agent for hyaluronic acid is obtained by blending at least one of chondroitin sulfuric acid C derivatives, chondroitin sulfuric acid C derivative proteoglycans and their salts. As the chondroitin sulfuric acid C derivative, one obtained from cartilages of sharks and squids by a pronase treatment and an alcohol separation can be used. One extracted from a proteoglycan containing much chondroitin sulfuric acid C derivative with a guanidine hydrochloride is also useful. As the salt, sodium salts and potassium salts are preferable. When the decomposition accelerating agent for hyaluronic acid is used as a therapeutic agent for diseases, the amount of a chondroitin sulfuric acid C derivative and/or its salt to be blended is preferably 0.0001-50 g against 100 g of a composition to be applied.
Fluorescent and/or chromogenic reagents in which a phthalocyanine derivative is monomerically conjugated with an antigen, antibody, oligonucleotide, or nucleic acid. Methods are presented in in which greater than 90% of the phthalocyanine dyes are monomeric when conjugated. This greatly enhances their performance as detectable markers in immunoassays, nucleic acid probe assays, immunoblotting, hybridization assays, microscopy, imaging, flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, and photodynamic therapy. For use as fluorophores, the free base phthalocyanine may or may not be metallated. Metals for fluorescent phthalocyanine include aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, gallium, germanium, cadmium, scandium, magnesium, tin, and zinc. For use as chromogens, the phthalocyanine may or may not be metallated. For use in aqueous solution, the phthalocyanine macrocycle should be derivatized with water-solubilizing substituents such as sulfonic acid, phosphate, phosphonate, hydroxy, phenoxy, amino, ammonium, or pyridinium groups. To promote disaggregation, metallation with an atom of +3 valence or higher is recommended, so that the monomer will take on an axial ligand in aqueous solution. For use in enzymatic immunoassays and enzymatically enhanced nucleic acid probe assays, the monomeric phthalocyanine derivative is conjugated via an enzyme-cleavable linkage with the antigen, antibody, oligonucleotide, or nucleic acid. Reversibly quenched embodiments are also provided in which a cleavable linkage joins a fluorescent phthalocyanine monomer with another phthalocyanine, a heavy metal, or a paramagnetic species.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Dysbiosis is emerging as a potential trigger of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are recognised as key regulators of intestinal homeostasis. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is critical to intestinal ILC3 development and function. This mechanistic review aimed to investigate whether AhR activation of gut ILC3s facilitates IL-22-mediated antimicrobial peptide (AMP) production to enhance colonisation resistance and ameliorate SLE pathology associated with intestinal dysbiosis. Furthermore, nutritional AhR ligand potential to enhance pathogen resistance was explored.
METHODOLOGY: This mechanistic review involved a three-tranche systematic literature search (review, mechanism, intervention) using PubMed with critical appraisal. Data was synthesised into themes and summarised in a narrative analysis.
RESULTS: Preclinical mechanistic data indicate that AhR modulation of intestinal ILC3s optimises pathogen resistance via IL-22-derived AMPs. Pre-clinical research is required to validate this mechanism in SLE. Data on systemic immune consequences of AhR modulation in lupus suggest UVB-activated ligands induce aberrant AhR signalling while many dietary ligands exert beneficial effects. Data on xenobiotic-origin ligands is varied, although considerable evidence has demonstrated negative effects on Th17 to Treg balance. Limited human evidence supports the role of nutritional AhR ligands in modulating SLE pathology. Preclinical and clinical data support anti-inflammatory effects of dietary AhR ligands.
CONCLUSION: Current evidence is insufficient to fully validate the hypothesis that AhR modulation of intestinal ILC3s can enhance pathogen resistance to ameliorate lupus pathology driven by dysbiosis. However, anti-inflammatory effects of dietary AhR ligands suggest a promising role as a therapeutic intervention for SLE.
