A method for diagnosing, or differentially diagnosing, interstitial cystitis (IC) involves detecting or measuring increased expression of a biomarker Endothelin 1 (ET-1) in a biological sample from a mammalian subject, particularly in the urine or urothelial tissue. An increased level of expression of ET-1 above the level of expression in the same sample of a healthy mammalian subject is an indication of a diagnosis of IC. Such diagnosis may further involve identify other clinical symptoms of IC. Additionally the method may use additional biomarkers, such as Hb-EFG, EGF, APF, IL-8, IL-6, and cGMP. Assay methods and diagnostic reagents and kits for such diagnosis are provided. Methods and compositions for treating IC by reducing the action, production or synthesis of ET-1 in the urine or urothelium and/or inhibiting its binding to its ET A  and/or ET B  receptors are also provided.
Patients undergo QL block before surgery and receive multimodal pain control. Patients then undergo a second QL block on day 4 after surgery and continue to receive standard of care.
At present, the mainstream antiviral treatment of CHB is still nucleotide analogues. The increase in the proportion of comorbidities in patients with chronic hepatitis B also increases the risk of nucleotide analogue contraindications. The antiviral treatment of CHB patients needs to fully assess the risk of adverse reactions . Taking into account the current impact of nucleotide analogs on renal function, the AASLD 2018 Chronic Hepatitis B Guidelines recommends that the dosage of nucleotide analogs should be adjusted according to renal function and creatinine clearance. A Hong Kong cohort study of patients with chronic hepatitis B showed that the 5-year chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression rate of patients receiving entecavir and tenofovir and not receiving treatment reached 40%. A similar study in the United States also showed that nucleotide analogs reduce the glomerular filtration rate (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR). Studies on the indicators of early kidney injury found that the β2 microglobulin and retinol binding protein indicators changed significantly during the course of patients receiving adefovir dipivoxil, and the baseline β2 microglobulin and retinol binding protein indicators Affect the reduction of eGFR. Retrospective analysis using recent domestic urban medical insurance data also observed that the proportion of chronic kidney disease diagnoses in domestic CHB patients has shown a significant upward trend, which also suggests the necessity of assessing renal function in domestic CHB patients before using nucleotide analogs. Due to the lack of real-world renal function screening studies for CHB patients in China, there is a risk of severe underestimation of the proportion of CHB patients with renal insufficiency estimated based on medical insurance data. In the real world, the proportion of domestic CHB patients with renal insufficiency has not been fully clarified. Domestic clinical The treatment guidelines also did not specifically emphasize the necessity of renal function assessment before receiving nucleotide analog treatment.

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the prevalence of renal insufficiency among people receiving hepatitis B antiviral treatment through a national epidemiological cross-sectional survey, using hospital outpatient clinics as the research site, and to analyze related factors to improve clinicians Awareness of renal insufficiency in patients with CHB and better guidance on the safe use of nucleotide analogs in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Persons diagnosed with schizophrenia (SCZ) or bipolar I disorder (BPI) are at high risk for self-injurious behavior, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behaviors (SB). Characterizing associations between diagnosed health problems, prior pharmacological treatments, and polygenic scores (PGS) has potential to inform risk stratification. We examined self-reported SB and ideation using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) among 3,942 SCZ and 5,414 BPI patients receiving care within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). These cross-sectional data were integrated with electronic health records (EHRs), and compared across lifetime diagnoses, treatment histories, follow-up screenings, and mortality data. PGS were constructed using available genomic data for related traits. Genome-wide association studies were performed to identify and prioritize specific loci. Only 20% of the veterans who reported SB had a corroborating ICD-9/10 EHR code. Among those without prior SB, more than 20% reported new-onset SB at follow-up. SB were associated with a range of additional clinical diagnoses, and with treatment with specific classes of psychotropic medications (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, etc.). PGS for externalizing behaviors, smoking initiation, suicide attempt, and major depressive disorder were associated with SB. The GWAS for SB yielded no significant loci. Among individuals with a diagnosed mental illness, self-reported SB were strongly associated with clinical variables across several EHR domains. Analyses point to sequelae of substance-related and psychiatric comorbidities as strong correlates of prior and subsequent SB. Nonetheless, past SB was frequently not documented in health records, underscoring the value of regular screening with direct, in-person assessments, especially among high-risk individuals.
Anticoagulant therapy will be prescribed in accordance with 2012 ACCP Guidelines for children. Initial therapy generally will consist of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH), monitored to achieve and maintain a target anti-Xa activity of 0.5-1.0 IU/mL for LMWH and 0.35-0.7 IU/mL for UFH. Long-term therapy generally will consist of warfarin/coumadin, monitored to achieve and maintain a target INR of 2.0-3.0. The use of novel anticoagulants is permitted based on investigator preference.
Participants in CR1 were approached for this study after induction/consolidation therapy was complete and a decision not to proceed with transplantation was made or a suitable donor could not be identified. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive gilteritinib or placebo. Participants entered the screening period up to 14 days prior to the start of treatment. Participants were administered treatment over continuous 28-day cycles. Gilteritinib or placebo was given daily for up to 2 years. After treatment discontinuation, participants had a 30-day follow-up visit for safety, after which the participants entered the long-term follow up period for collection of subsequent AML treatment, remission status, and survival (cause of death and date of death). Final database lock will occur when last subject last follow-up visit is reached, per protocol. Study drug was not provided during the follow-up period.
Patients ≥ 75 years who have undergone surgery for colon cancer stage III, are eligible for inclusion in the study. Non-eligibility includes patients with obvious impaired cognitive or physical function or patients living in nursing homes. After signing informed consent, the patients first undergo geriatric assessment. Patients that are classified as having fit or intermediate function, and with no significant cardiovascular disease, are randomized with a 2:1 randomization process to either chemotherapy (Arm A: Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 bid day 1-14 q3 weeks, 8 cycles) or no chemotherapy (Arm B: observation).

The purpose of this study is to examine the tolerability of chemotherapy in elderly (\> 75 years) patients operated on for colon cancer stage III. There is little evidence of benefit and tolerability of this therapy in the elderly; it is recommended individual consideration in elderly. In the study, a comprehensive geriatric a comprehensive geriatric assessment is performed first, to exclude frail patients or patients with serious comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease. Fit or intermediate patients will then be randomized so that 2/3 will receive chemotherapy with capecitabine tablets for 6 months, and 1/3 will not receive chemotherapy. A new geriatric assessment is performed after 6 and 12 months. The main objective of the study is to examine whether chemotherapy leads to significant loss of function, but secondary aims include survival, quality of life, and prognostic effect of biomarkers. The study may provide useful information on selection of patients who tolerate and benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.
Osteoarthritis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in geriatric gazelles. Propionibacterium australiense has been reported as a cause of systemic granulomas in cattle, but there are no descriptions of this bacteria infecting other species nor causing osteoarthritis, to our knowledge. An 8-y-old, castrated male, sand gazelle (Gazella leptoceros leptoceros) was managed for chronic, intermittent, progressive osteoarthritis of the right tarsus. Serial biopsies revealed pyogranulomatous dermatitis with intralesional bacteria. Serial diagnostic imaging identified osseous and soft tissue proliferation with draining tracts. Treatments over 1 y included broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, joint debridement, and infusion with platelet-rich plasma and stem cells. Despite therapy, lameness persisted, azotemia developed, and subsequently, the animal was euthanized. On postmortem examination, the periarticular tissue of the right tarsus was markedly expanded by pyogranulomas and fibrosis. Histologically, the synovium, joint capsule, and overlying soft tissues were markedly expanded by pyogranulomas and numerous gram-positive and acid-fast-negative filamentous bacteria surrounded by Splendore-Hoeppli material. Within the joint, there was regionally extensive cartilage ulceration, osteonecrosis, osteolysis, and pannus formation. PCR assay of affected formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue amplified segments of 16S rRNA and β subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase (rpoB) genes with 99.7% and 95.6% identity to P. australiense. This bacterium should be considered a differential for chronic pyogranulomatous osteoarthritis in gazelles.
The study includes 2 distinct parts: Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 1, an ascending-dose design will be utilized to enable evaluation of increasing doses in a stepwise manner. The objective for this dose escalation is to identify the dose of BE-101 required to achieve desired FIX activity 28 days after infusion. Upon identification of a safe and efficacious dose in Part 1, an expansion phase (Part 2) will initiate. The initial cohort in the Part 2 expansion (Part 2a) phase will include up to 6 adult participants to further characterize the safety and activity of BE-101 at the selected dose. Additional cohorts for adolescents and redosing for participants in Part 1 of the study will occur following data availability of Part 1.

Up to 24 participants will be enrolled across Part 1 (up to 18) and Part 2a (up to 6). Consented participants will complete a screening period to assess eligibility and upon enrollment will undergo leukapheresis collection to support BE-101 manufacturing. Following administration, participants will be monitored for safety and clinical activity. The total duration of study participation is approximately 52 weeks post IV administration of BE-101.
Migraine is a debilitating disorder that affects many people worldwide. Despite the new migraine medications and the recommended complementary interventions for migraine, most people living with migraine are not migraine-free and continue to experience debilitating headaches. Chronic stress and past traumatic experiences are known to contribute to the development of migraine and to the transition from episodic to chronic migraine. Although current behavioral interventions focus on "calming down" the body and mind, a different approach is to help individuals identify and express difficult emotions, release emotionally difficult experiences, and acquire new skills to help manage interpersonal relationships. Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) is a new intervention that focuses on this approach and has shown promising results in patients with different chronic pain conditions. In this research, the investigators will test how effective EAET is in people living with migraine.

Albumin is a relatively small molecule with a radius of 7.5 nm and a molecular weight of 65 kDa. It is the most abundant protein in plasma, accounting for 60-75% of its oncotic pressure. Its concentration in plasma is merely one static measurement reflecting a dynamic and complex system of albumin physiology, and is the net result of several different processes, one or more of which may become deranged by disease or its treatment. It is also unsurprising that hypoalbuminaemia has proved to be an indicator of morbidity and mortality risk since the underlying conditions which cause it, including protein energy malnutrition, crystalloid overload, inflammation, and liver dysfunction are themselves risk factors. In some cases, its underlying cause may require treatment but mostly it is just a parameter to be monitored and used as one measure of clinical progress or deterioration. While malnutrition, associated with a low protein intake, may be a contributory cause of hypoalbuminaemia, in the absence of inflammation and/or dilution with crystalloid its development in response to malnutrition alone is slow compared with the rapid change caused by inflammatory redistribution or dilution with crystalloids. Other significant causes include liver dysfunction and serous losses. These causal factors may occur singly or in combination in any particular case. Treatment is that of the underlying causes and associated conditions such as a low plasma volume, not of hypoalbuminaemia per se.
INTRODUCTION: Current consensus guidelines for definitive cervical cancer intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) recommend inclusion of the entire uterus within the clinical target volume, however this is debated. We aimed to evaluate outcomes of patients with cervical cancer who were treated with less than whole uterus irradiation.
METHODS: We identified 109 patients with FIGO Stage IB-IVA cervical cancer treated definitively with concurrent chemoradiation, including IMRT and brachytherapy, from 2010 to 2022 at a single institution where the practice was to include the gross cervix tumor with an internal target volume with differences in bladder filing accounted for, plus additional 5 mm planning target volume (PTV) margin. Local, regional, and distant recurrences were analyzed using competing risk methods, and a Wilcoxon rank sum test was performed to assess differences in dose to organs at risk based on the proportion of the uterus included in the PTV, with the median proportion of the uterus included (75 %) used as the cut-point.
RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 65 months (range 3-352 months). The 2-year cumulative incidence of LR for the entire cohort was 4.2 % (95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.3-9.7). Compared with patients who had ≥ 75 % of the uterus included in the PTV, patients who had < 75 % of the uterus included in the PTV had significantly lower bowel D200cc (p = 0.02). The cumulative incidence of local failure (LR) was not significantly different between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Including less than the whole uterus for definitive cervix cancer IMRT does not seem to compromise local control. Less than whole uterus irradiation could be considered for carefully selected cervix cancer patients to decrease bowel dose and possible treatment-related toxicity.

Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO) according to current guidelines. However, while a rapidly-growing number of stroke centers become capable of performing EVT, the general quality of EVT remains unsatisfied, resulting in a considerable proportion of patients who could not reach functional independence. Our pre-established artificial intelligence (AI)-aided clinical feedback system could dynamically record and report key timepoints of EVT in-hospital process. Combined with multi-aspect intervention via remote/on-site surveillance and education, this may be a potential solution for quality improvement of EVT. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate whether an AI-aided clinical feedback system coupled with multi-aspect intervention could improve the quality of EVT. Twenty hospitals with annual EVT cases \> 30 will be 1:1 randomized into intervention group and control group. The intervention group will receive AI-based clinical feedback system coupled with multi-aspect intervention, including remote/on-site surveillance and education regarding in-hospital workflow and surgical procedures of EVT. The control group only deploys AI-aided clinical feedback system. The primary outcome is the ratio of good functional outcome (mRS \> 2) at 3 month.

Transition care is a targeted, well-planned activity, which aims to facilitate the transfer of adolescents with chronic illnesses from pediatric to adult health care. Over the past few years, several recommendations have been introduced with respect to the transitional care of adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). According to the international recommendations, joint visits (involving both pediatric and adult gastroenterologists) are highly recommended during the transition period. Although joint visits are considered to be the most optimal form of structured transition, so far, no randomized controlled trial providing strong scientific evidence to prove the superiority of joint visits over usual care has been conducted. TRANS-IBD is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to demonstrate the benefits of a structured transitional intervention involving joint visits. Patients in the intervention arm attend a total of four joint visits between the ages of 17 and 18. In the control arm, patients only meet the pediatric gastroenterologist but there is balanced consultation between the adult and the pediatric gastroenterologist, regarding the patient's medical history and treatment plan. Patients in both groups receive the same training and education, the only difference between the two arms is the presence of the adult gastroenterologist at the joint visits. The intervention period of the study starts at the age of 17 and lasts until the age of 18, when the participants are transferred to the adult gastroenterologist. The follow-up period starts from transfer and lasts until the end of the first year spent in the adult gastroenterology care.
