In our previous randomized controlled trial, we documented significant improvements in cognitive, psychiatric, fatigue, sleep, and pain symptoms among long Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID) patients who underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the enduring 1 year long term effects of HBOT on long COVID syndrome. This longitudinal long-term follow-up included 31 patients with reported post COVID-19 cognitive symptoms, who underwent 40 daily sessions of HBOT. Participants were recruited more than one year (486 ± 73) after completion of the last HBOT session. Quality of life, assessed using the short form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire revealed, that the long-term results exhibited a similar magnitude of improvement as the short-term outcomes following HBOT across most domains. Regarding sleep quality, improvements were observed in global score and across five sleep domains with effect sizes of moderate magnitude during the short-term evaluation, and these improvements persisted in the long-term assessment (effect size (ES1) = 0.47-0.79). In the realm of neuropsychiatric symptoms, as evaluated by the brief symptom inventory-18 (BSI-18), the short-term assessment following HBOT demonstrated a large effect size, and this effect persisted at the long-term evaluation. Both pain severity (ES1 = 0.69) and pain interference (ES1 = 0.83), had significant improvements during the short-term assessment post HBOT, which persisted at long term. The results indicate HBOT can improve the quality of life, quality of sleep, psychiatric and pain symptoms of patients suffering from long COVID. The clinical improvements gained by HBOT are persistent even 1 year after the last HBOT session.
BACKGROUND: Sleep deprivation (SD) is a growing global health problem with many deleterious effects, such as cognitive impairment. Microglia activation-induced neuroinflammation may be an essential factor in this. Propofol has been shown to clear sleep debt after SD in rats. This study aims to evaluate the effects of propofol-induced sleep on ameliorating sleep quality impairment and cognitive decline after 48 h SD.
METHODS: Almost 8-12-week-old rats were placed in the SD system for 48 h of natural sleep or continuous SD. Afterwards, rats received propofol (20 mg·kg-1·h-1, 6 h) via the tail or slept naturally. The Morris water maze (MWM) and Y-maze test assessed spatial learning and memory abilities. Rat EEG/EMG monitored sleep. The expression of brain and muscle Arnt-like protein 1 (BMAL1), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus and BMAL1 in the hypothalamus were assessed by western blot. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detected IL-6, IL-1β, arginase 1 (Arg1), and IL-10 levels in the hippocampus. Immunofluorescence was used to determine microglia expression as well as morphological changes.
RESULTS: Compared to the control group, the sleep-deprived rats showed poor cognitive performance on both the MWM test and the Y-maze test, accompanied by disturbances in sleep structure, including increased total sleep time, and increased time spent and delta power in non-rapid eye movement sleep. In addition, SD induces abnormal expression of the circadian rhythm protein BMAL1, activates microglia, and causes neuroinflammation and nerve damage. Propofol reversed these changes and saved sleep and cognitive impairment. Furthermore, propofol treatment significantly reduced hippocampal IL-1β and IL-6 levels, increased BDNF, Arg1, and IL-10 levels, and switched microglia surface markers from the inflammatory M1 type to the anti-inflammatory M2 type.
CONCLUSION: Propofol reduces SD-induced cognitive impairment and circadian rhythm disruption, possibly by lowering neuronal inflammation and switching the microglia phenotype from an M1 to an M2 activated state, thus exerting neuroprotective effects.

Intraoperative celiac plexus neurolysis Before closure of the abdomen the surgeon will expose the aorta at the level of the celiac trunk.With the stomach retracted inferiorly, the index and second finger of the surgeon's left hand straddle the aorta with the index finger placed on the splenic artery and the second finger on the common hepatic artery. we will use of a 20- gauge spinal needle (in contrast to the usual short intravenous needle) allows better visualization and access to this area, especially in deep patients, while a 10 ml syringe permits the surgeon to control the injection with the right hand alone.(10) Twenty ml of 90 % alcohol, five ml lidocaine 2%, five mg dexamethasone will be injected in each side of the aorta after aspiration to exclude intravascular or subarachnoid injection.
Participants in the intervention arm will receive group interpersonal therapy in schools facilitated by trained laypersons. Groups are gender specific and comprise 6-8 adolescents. There are ten group sessions (approximately 90 min each, delivered weekly): in the first session the facilitator will focus on encouraging participants to review and share their interpersonal problems and instilling hope for recovery. In the middle sessions (2-9) participants will learn and practice interpersonal skills and offer and receive support from group members to resolve their problems. In the last session, they will review and celebrate progress and make plans to tackle future problems.
This is a two-arm superiority randomized controlled trial. The primary objective is to compare the accessibility of information between the eTB catalogue (intervention) and WHO TB (comparison). Secondary outcomes include understanding of the information, satisfaction of catalogue presentation, and preference toward the catalogue. Current and potential users of TB recommendations will be recruited. Data will be collected using a survey with demographic questions and subsequent 1:1 randomization to the intervention. Superiority will be declared if the mean difference in accessibility is 0.5 or greater for the intervention arm on the seven-point Likert scale.
Control group receives general care and the training booklet at the end of the study. Also includes 3-month follow-up.
Emtricitabine and tenofovir are principally eliminated by the kidney. Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphatemia), has been reported with the use of TDF, a component of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

Prior to initiation and during use of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, on a clinically appropriate schedule, assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, urine glucose, and urine protein in all individuals. In individuals with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus. 

Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate should be avoided with concurrent or recent use of a nephrotoxic agent (e.g., high-dose or multiple non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]) [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. Cases of acute renal failure after initiation of high-dose or multiple NSAIDs have been reported in HIV-infected patients with risk factors for renal dysfunction who appeared stable on TDF. Some patients required hospitalization and renal replacement therapy. Alternatives to NSAIDs should be considered, if needed, in patients at risk for renal dysfunction.

Persistent or worsening bone pain, pain in extremities, fractures, and/or muscular pain or weakness may be manifestations of proximal renal tubulopathy and should prompt an evaluation of renal function in individuals at risk of renal dysfunction.

Treatment of HIV-1 Infection

Dosing interval adjustment of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and close monitoring of renal function are recommended in all patients with estimated creatinine clearance 30-49 mL/min [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)]. No safety or efficacy data are available in patients with renal impairment who received emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate using these dosing guidelines, so the potential benefit of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate therapy should be assessed against the potential risk of renal toxicity. Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets is not recommended in patients with estimated creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min or patients requiring hemodialysis.

HIV-1 PrEP

Emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP is not recommended in uninfected individuals with estimated creatinine clearance less than 60 mL/min. If a decrease in estimated creatinine clearance is observed while using emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV-1 PrEP, evaluate potential causes and re-assess potential risks and benefits of continued use [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)].
BACKGROUND: Cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) is an extremely rare pathology, with an incidence of < 0.4%. Its main characteristic is a partitioning of the right atrium by the persistence of the embryonic valve of the right sinus venosus.
CLINICAL CASE: In this report, we describe the case of a 7-day-old newborn who presented with persistent cyanosis associated with feeding and crying. The diagnosis of CTD was made after an echocardiogram and confirmed using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent successful surgery on day 14 with a favorable outcome and without complications.
CONCLUSION: The importance of our case lies in the identification of rare heart disease as a cause of cyanosis and desaturation in a neonatal patient in the first days of life who did not present signs of heart failure and whose condition improved with supplemental oxygen. We also demonstrate that early diagnosis with echocardiography and surgical resolution resulted in clear clinical improvement and avoided future complications.
Diabetic mastopathy is a rare and benign pathology affecting young individuals with type 1 diabetes or autoimmune diseases. It clinically resembles breast cancer, necessitating a histological examination for a definitive diagnosis. These cases underscore the diagnostic challenges and the importance of histological examination. This report details two cases of diabetic mastopathy at Mohammed VI Hospital in Marrakech. The first case involved a 35-year-old with type 1 diabetes and mastodynia, revealing a 4 x 3 cm nodule in the left breast. Biopsies confirmed fibrous breast tissue with lymphocytic infiltrates, characteristic of diabetic mastopathy, with no recurrence during follow-up. The second case featured a 38-year-old with trisomy 21 and type 1 diabetes presenting with a right breast abscess. Drainage revealed lymphocytic infiltrates, confirming diabetic mastopathy. Though diagnostically challenging, diabetic mastopathy lacks a direct link to breast cancer. Long-term cancer risks in affected patients mirror the general population.
The GLB program, adapted for individuals with TBI, will be delivered to participants over a 12-month period, divided into 22 in-person or virtual, group sessions. The intervention promotes 5-7% weight-loss by reducing calories and increasing exercise (150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week).
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a relatively rare malignant tumor. In recent years, the disease has been increasing gradually. As an important biological feature of soft tissue sarcoma is local recurrence and distant metastasis, most patients die of distant metastasis. Despite the improvement of local control rate, more than 50% of patients died of unresectable or distant metastasis due to tumor progression. Doxorubicin and ifosfamide based chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for patients with relapsed / distant metastasis / unresectable advanced soft tissue sarcoma. For patients who fail or cannot tolerate first-line treatment, the choice of treatment is still limited. At present, some clinical patients who failed to receive standard treatment have tried to use the albumin-bound paclitaxel and liposomal doxorubicin regimen, with the ORR of 33% and PFS of about 8 months. As a new combination of chemotherapy drugs, more targeted phase II clinical studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the new chemotherapy drugs in a variety of cancer species. In view of the above problems, this study aims to observe and explore the efficacy and safety of the combination of albumin-bound paclitaxel (keaili) and liposomal doxorubicin (duomeisu) in the treatment of advanced angiogenic sarcoma patients, and to provide better treatment options for patients with advanced sarcoma.
This systematic literature review examines the relationship between secondary traumatic stress (STS) and compassion satisfaction (CS) to identify the state of the science and directions for future research. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis framework was used to guide the identification and evaluation of studies. Eight academic databases were systematically searched between July and December of 2022 to identify articles and dissertations published in English or Hebrew between 2000 and 2022. Studies were considered for inclusion if they examined the relationship between STS and CS and met an established quality threshold. If studies used a mixed methods approach, only quantitative results were included in the review. The search strategy yielded 537 studies with 33 included in the final review. Findings of this review suggest experiences of high levels of STS can coexist with high levels of CS indicating that people can gain satisfaction from their work and experience STS. Most studies examined the relationship between STS and CS using bivariate analyses with variability found in the direction of the relationship. This variability was also found in multivariate studies included in this review. These findings suggest the need for interventions to address both STS and CS with attention paid to the potential negative impact of emotional contagion and the vulnerability of younger female practitioners. Future research should pay attention to the rigor of the analysis of STS and CS and the exploration of mediating or moderating mechanisms between these constructs.
Participants will participate in the TAPAS intervention, which will consist of one in-person engagement session with a therapist and 8 weeks of web-based automated intervention prompts. The program will utilize empirically supported approaches for promoting sleep health, delivered in-person and via text-message, focusing on: tailored psychoeducation, motivation and efficacy to change sleep, extending sleep duration, and regularizing sleep timing across the week.
Penile prosthesis implantation (PPI) is a definitive solution for severe erectile dysfunction unresponsive to conventional therapies. However, in patients with corporal fibrosis (CF), the procedure presents significant challenges and higher complication risks. This narrative review explores the crucial role of imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, in preoperative planning for PPI in patients with CF. Through a comprehensive literature search, we analyzed studies focusing on the efficacy of these imaging modalities in assessing fibrosis severity and guiding surgical strategies. Our findings highlight that advanced imaging provides essential insights into fibrosis extent, thereby optimizing surgical outcomes and reducing potential complications. The review underscores the importance of meticulous preoperative imaging in improving patient management and surgical precision in this complex clinical scenario.
The object of the invention is to provide a topical preparation for (acne) rosacea and other sensitive skin types that protects the face from harmful UV rays without the use of chemical sunscreen ingredients. It has long been found that chemical sunscreen ingredients (most popular are oxybenzone and avobenzone) can cause an increase of rosacea symptoms (flushing, erythema, papules) (Nedorost (2003) and Landers et al., 2003). Furthermore, typical waterproof sunscreen preparations also contain various forms of silicones that are used to increase the hydrophobicity of the sunscreen. These waterproof sunscreen preparations impair the release of heat from the skin. The combination of this “trapped heat” and a sensitivity to chemical sunscreen ingredients, is harmful to rosacea skin. Therefore, a sunscreen preparation that is water-soluble and uses alternative UV absorbing and UV scattering ingredients would be very useful in protecting rosacea skin from harmful UV rays.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Myofibroblasts, the primary producers of extracellular matrix, primarily originate from hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and their activation plays a pivotal role in liver fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the function of CXC motif ligand 14 (CXCL14) in the progression of liver fibrosis.
APPROACH AND RESULTS: CXCL14 knockdown significantly reduced the extent of liver fibrosis. Using Ingenuity pathway analysis and qRT-PCR, activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) was identified as a key upstream regulator of CXCL14 expression. Mechanistically, ATF3 was shown to bind to the CXCL14 promoter, promoting its transactivation by TGF-β in HSCs. Notably, both global CXCL14 deletion (CXCL14-/-) and HSC/myofibroblast-specific CXCL14 knockdown significantly attenuated liver fibrosis in mice. RNA-seq comparisons between CXCL14-/- and WT mice highlighted Jak2 as the most significantly downregulated gene, implicating its role in the antifibrotic effects of CXCL14 suppression on HSC inactivation. Moreover, Jak2 overexpression reversed the inhibition of liver fibrosis caused by CXCL14 knockdown in vivo.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings unveil a novel ATF3/CXCL14/Jak2 signalling axis in liver fibrosis, presenting potential therapeutic targets for the disease.
Prediabetes is a common state in which blood glucose levels are elevated, but are not elevated high enough to be considered Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The worldwide prevalence of prediabetes is high and rapidly increasing. People with prediabetes are at increased risk for developing a variety of chronic diseases. Most notably, prediabetes nearly always precedes diagnosis of T2D, a poorly-controlled disease adversely affecting 14% of adults in the United States. T2D is responsible for increased risk of heart disease, stroke, blindness and other vision problems, kidney disease, amputations and death. Prediabetes often progresses to T2D relatively quickly, as pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction perpetuates. There are currently limited pharmacological options available for safely reducing the burden of prediabetes. Furthermore, these pharmacological options often carry potentially deleterious side effects. Low-risk alternatives are needed where lifestyle modifications, such as increased physical activity and weight loss, have failed.

Herbal dietary supplements have shown promise in safely managing impaired glycemic control in prediabetic adults in many clinical studies. A wide variety of herbs have been previously studied for these purposes, including cinnamon, fenugreek, banaba, curcumin, and a variety of combination products. Of these, most have demonstrated improved management of glycemic control, particularly with regard to reducing fasting blood glucose and postprandial glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin levels, HOMA-Insulin Resistance, and increasing HOMA-β cell function among prediabetic adult populations. Many herbs have also demonstrated benefit in the management of glycemic control in clinical trials among T2D populations. These herbs include berberine, ginseng, gymnema, banaba, cinnamon, fenugreek, and kudzu, all of which are present in GlucoSupreme™ Herbal.

The research team hypothesizes that GlucoSupreme™ Herbal will demonstrate superior improvements in markers of glycemic control than placebo over twelve weeks of daily supplementation among a sample of healthy adults. The research team aims to conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial to evaluate this hypothesis among a diverse sample of 40 prediabetic adults, and will implement a 1:1 study allocation ratio. This study will utilize an adaptive sample size re-estimation (SSR) approach where participant enrollment may be extended beyond the originally planned sample size if interim effect size is smaller than anticipated, but still promising, thereby preserving study power; this will be determined by examination of available unblinded endpoint data by an independent statistician after 30 subjects are enrolled.
