The patient should begin drinking NeuLumEX approximately 20 – 30 minutes prior to the scheduled procedure. It is recommended that the patient consume multiple bottles, about 900 mL to 1,350 mL total volume prior to the exam or use as directed by physician. For improved gastric marking have patient consume the final 200 mL immediately prior to scan. Bowel marking is consistent due to the uniformity of the 0.1% concentration of BaSO4. Bowel lumen marking can be improved by increasing the volume of NeuLumEX consumed (see below). Other dosing regimens may be followed as applicable. In patients where marking is problematic, such as obesity and delayed transit, improved marking may be possible by increasing the total volume of NeuLumEX administered up to 1,800 mL or four (4) bottles.
OBJECTIVES: To explore the prevalence and associated factors of obesity in Tibetan adults in Qinghai, China, and to determine the association between the FTO (rs1121980 and rs17817449) and MC4R gene (rs17782313 and rs12970134) polymorphisms with obesity.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2015 in Qinghai to selected Tibetan adults aged 20 to 80 years. Prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) and overweight (BMI 24 ~ 27.9 kg/m2) were evaluated. Multivariable logistic models were used to determine the associated factors. Pair-matched subjects of obesity cases and normal-weight controls were selected for the gene polymorphism analyses. Conditional logistic models were used to assess the association between gene polymorphisms with obesity. Additive and multiplicative gene-environment interactions were tested.
RESULTS: A total of 1741 Tibetan adults were enrolled. The age- and sex- standardized prevalence of obesity and overweight was 18.09% and 31.71%, respectively. Male sex, older age, heavy level of leisure-time exercise, current smoke, and heavy level of occupational physical activity were associated with both obesity and overweight. MC4R gene polymorphisms were associated with obesity in Tibetan adults. No significant gene-environment interaction was detected.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of obesity and overweight in Tibetan adults was high. Both environmental and genetic factors contributed to the obesity prevalent.
CLs and LCLs may be detected at 3 Tesla (T) MRI by using dedicated sequences. 3D Double inversion recovery (DIR), Phase-Sensitive Inversion Recovery (PSIR), Magnetization Prepared - RApid Gradient Echo (MPRAGE) and Magnetization Prepared - 2- RApid Gradient Echo (MP2RAGE) have all shown variable sensitivity to CLs and LCLs. The central vein sign (CVS, i.e. the detection of a central vessel in a focal lesion) has been recently proposed as a biomarker for distinguishing between MS and not and not MS. Both the presence of CL and CVs brings high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing MS from not MS patients; whether their combination achieves higher sensitivity and specificity to MS diagnosis and differential diagnosis is to date not know. This study investigates the specificity/sensitivity of the combined presence of cortical lesions (CLs)/leuco-cortical lesions (LCLs) and central veins sign (CVs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
Recently, self-adhesive flowable composites (SAFCs) have been introduced as a new class of restorative material in adhesive dentistry. Today, there are only two available products in the market for clinical use: Vertise Flow and Fusio Liquid Dentin. Self-adhering flowable composite was introduced to address the time-consuming procedure used with traditional materials Their resin matrix contains acidic functional adhesive monomers mediating bonding with dental hard tissues and, therefore, separate etching and additional bonding are not required. SAFCs have been mainly advertised for the restoration of small Class I, Class III and V cavities, for cavity lining, and for use as a pit and fissure sealant.

Self-adhering flowable composite combines the merits of both adhesive and restorative material technologies in one product, bringing novel horizons to restorative techniques, as it is a direct composite resin restorative material that has an adhesive resin together with a flowable composite resin. It is based on the bonding technology that uses glycerophosphate dimethacrylate(GPDM)to etch enamel and dentin, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) to enhance wetting and penetration by resin into dentin. This resin bonds chemically between the phosphate groups of a GPDM monomer and the hydroxyapatite of tooth structure and, also, micromechanically between the polymerized monomers of the self-adhering flowable composite resin and the collagen fibers and smear layer of dentin.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of oral and maxillofacial region, and prone to early cervical lymph node metastases. Lymphatic spread is associated with increased risk of loco-regional recurrence, therefore, the identification of lymph node metastases preoperatively is very important for the optimal surgical therapy. Recently, cervical lymph node dissection(CLND) is performed in the presence of oral squamous cell carcinoma. However, whether cervical lymph node dissection is necessarily performed in the presence of early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma is still controversial. CLND will represent over-treatment in some case of early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, How to accurately predict whether a patient should be performed CLND is important. Our previous study show that tumor budding is closely related to lymphatic spread in the oral squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to find that whether the tumor budding guide the individualized surgical planning of early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Although antiseizure medications play a crucial role in the management of epilepsy, their benefit can be compromised due to drug-related problems. Drug therapy problems can lead to poor seizure control, reduced quality of life, and increased morbidity and mortality in patients with epilepsy. However, in our setting, there is limited knowledge about drug therapy problems and the factors that contribute to them.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and contributing factors of drug-therapy problems among patients with epilepsy.
METHODOLOGY: A hospital-based prospective observational study was conducted at the neurologic clinic of Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, located in the Tigray region of Northern Ethiopia. The study included adult patients diagnosed with epilepsy who had been taking at least one antiseizure medication for a minimum of six months. Data were collected by conducting patient interviews and expert reviews of medical and medication records. Prior to data review and interviews, each patient provided written informed consent. Drug therapy problems were identified and classified using Cipolle's method, followed by a consensus review conducted with a panel of experts. Statistical analysis was performed using a statistical software package; SPSS version 22. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the contributing factors of drug therapy problems. Statistical significance was determined at p<0.05.
RESULTS: A study conducted on 250 participants revealed that 55.2% of the patients experienced one or more drug therapy problems. Our analysis identified a total of 282 drug therapy problems, with a mean of 2±0.52 drug therapy problems per patient. The most commonly observed drug therapy problems were dosage too low (30.0%), noncompliance (22%), adverse drug reaction (18%), and unnecessary drug therapy (16.4%). The commonly involved antiseizure medications in these drug therapy problems were phenytoin (22.8%), Valproic acid (20.8%), and Phenobarbital (18.4%). Furthermore, our findings revealed that combination therapy (AOR: 3.92, 95%CI: 1.19-12.97) and uncontrolled seizure (AOR: 108.37, 95%CI: 38.7-303.6) exhibited significant associations with drug therapy problems.
CONCLUSION: Drug therapy problems were prevalent among patients with epilepsy. The use of combination therapy and the presence of uncontrolled seizures were identified as significant indicators of drug therapy problems. Therefore, more emphasis should be given to patients with multiple medications and uncontrolled seizures.
Phenylephrine is a potent postsynaptic-α-receptor agonist with little effect on β receptors of the heart. Phenylephrine has no effect on β-adrenergic receptors of the bronchi or peripheral blood vessels. A direct action at receptors accounts for the greater part of its effects, only a small part being due to its ability to release norepinephrine.

Therapeutic doses of phenylephrine mainly cause vasoconstriction. Phenylephrine increases resistance and, to a lesser extent, decreases capacitance of blood vessels. Total peripheral resistance is increased, resulting in increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Pulmonary arterial pressure is usually increased, and renal blood flow is usually decreased. Local vasoconstriction and hemostasis occur following topical application or infiltration of phenylephrine into tissues.

The main effect of phenylephrine on the heart is bradycardia; it produces a positive inotropic effect on the myocardium in doses greater than those usually used therapeutically. Rarely, the drug may increase the irritability of the heart, causing arrhythmias. Cardiac output is decreased slightly. Phenylephrine increases the work of the heart by increasing peripheral arterial resistance. Phenylephrine has a mild central stimulant effect.

Following oral administration or topical application of phenylephrine to the mucosa, constriction of blood vessels in the nasal mucosa relieves nasal congestion associated with allergy or head colds. Following oral administration, nasal decongestion may occur within 15 or 20 minutes and may persist for up to 4 hours.

Phenylephrine is irregularly absorbed from and readily metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract. Phenylephrine is metabolized in the liver and intestine by monoamine oxidase. The metabolites and their route and rate of excretion have not been identified. The pharmacologic action of phenylephrine is terminated at least partially by uptake of the drug into tissues.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the effects of semaglutide on gut microbiota, cognitive function, and inflammation in obese mice.
METHOD: Twenty-four C57BL/6J male mice were randomly assigned to three groups: a normal-chow diet group (NCD, n = 8), high-fat diet group (HFD, n = 8), and HFD+semaglutide group (Sema, n = 8). The mice were fed a HFD to establish an animal model of obesity and then administered with semaglutide or saline for 12 weeks. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze test. Serum pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured. 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology was used to explore gut microbiota characteristics in obese mice.
RESULT: Obese mice showed significant cognitive impairment and inflammation. Semaglutide improved cognitive function and attenuated inflammation induced by a HFD diet. The abundance of gut microbiota was significantly changed in the HFD group, including decreased Akkermansia, Muribaculaceae, Coriobacteriaceae_UCG_002, Clostridia_UCG_014 and increased Romboutsia, Dubosiella, Enterorhabdus. Whereas semaglutide could dramatically reverse the relative abundance of these gut microbiota. Correlation analysis suggested that cognitive function was positively correlated with Muribaculaceae and Clostridia_UCG_014, and negatively associated with Romboutsia and Dubosiella. Romboutsia was positively correlated with TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1β. While Clostridia_UCG_014 was negatively related to TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1β.
CONCLUSIONS: For the first time semaglutide displayed different regulatory effects on HFD-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis. Semaglutide could regulate the structure and composition of gut microbiota associated with cognitive function and inflammation. Thus, affecting gut microbiota might be a potential mechanism of semaglutide in attenuating cognitive function and inflammation.

An expanding body of clinical experience and controlled trials has established the efficacy of serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine, for the treatment of social anxiety disorder, with paroxetine, sertraline and venlafaxine extended-release (XR), which are FDA approved for this indication. The newest SNRI, duloxetine, has been shown to be effective at doses of 60mg/day to 120mg/day for anxiety associated with depression, and is anticipated to be a broad spectrum agent for mood and anxiety disorders (Dunner, Goldstein, Mallinckrodt, Lu, \& Detke, 2003). However, no data on the efficacy of duloxetine for Social Anxiety Disorder, nor guidance regarding time to response or predictors of response, is yet available. These questions are the focus of this proposal.

This is a two phase, 24-week research study in which participants who remain symptomatic at the end of one phase (6 weeks) enter into the next phase. In phase I, all participants receive 60mg/day of duloxetine (Cymbalta) for 6 weeks. Participants who continue to have anxiety symptoms will enter the 18-week Phase II, in which they continue taking 60 mg/day of duloxetine and they will also be randomly assigned (by chance, like a flip of a coin) to receive either an additional 60mg/day of duloxetine or placebo (contains no active medication).
