Study Design The CLEVER-TAVR cohort (Cerebral Lesion and Neurocognitive Status Changes after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is a multicenter prospective observational study. Patients with aortic stenosis who successfully undergo TAVR procedure from January 2021 to December 2021 will be enrolled in this study according to the inclusion criteria. Preoperative cognitive function, DW-MRI evaluation and baseline data will be recorded. All patients should be followed up for 1 year, including telephone follow-up once a month to record the main end-point events, and clinic follow-up at 30, 90, 180, 360 days after TAVR. Laboratory examination, electrocardiogram, color Doppler ultrasound and other examinations will be collected and recorded. The changes of cognitive function and brain imaging (DW-MRI) will be evaluated before discharge(7 days), 30, 90, 180, 360 days after procedure. The primary endpoint will be major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events(MACCE), including all-cause death, stroke, acute kidney injury, myocardial infarction, bleeding complications, vascular complications, permanent pacemaker implantation, conduction block and arrhythmia, valve related complications. The postoperative valve function, life quality and other complications related to TAVR will also be recorded.
Pityriasis versicolor commonly has extensive and irregular pattern/distribution on the body. Therefore, topical antifungal such as ketoconazole, usually given in shampoo or solution form to cover large surface area. Many studies reported adverse effects of ketoconazole shampoo including pruritus, dry skin, and allergic contact dermatitis. Non-spesific keratolytic agent, such as sulphur, used for PV work by desquamation of the entire superficial skin layer and eliminating the fungi in the process. It also could enhance the penetration of ketoconazole into the stratum corneum, increasing its potency. Aloe vera (A. vera) contains acetylated mannan that acts as humectant and increase water content in stratum corneum. The combination of sulphur and A. vera in form of a soap as adjuvant to ketoconazole shampoo potentially will result in synergistic effect, faster mycological cure, and less adverse effects. There are limited data of sulphur and A.vera soap as an adjuvant PV treatment to ketoconazole shampoo. As a result of limited data, our trial is looked forward to assess the efficacy and adverse effect of sulphur and A.vera soap as an adjuvant PV treatment to ketoconazole shampoo.
Patients randomized to high-dose valsartan were started on valsartan 80mg twice daily, and uptitrated to target doses within 7 days under in-hospital observation. The target high doses of valsartan is determined by left-ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (the maximal value of anteroposterior and lateral diameters) obtained by ECG at the randomization visit. A target dose of valsartan 320mg, 480mg, 640mg daily were assigned to patients with LVEDD of 50-59, 60-69, ≥70 mm respectively.

Cholangioscopy allows for direct visualization of the bile and pancreatic duct. In 2006, the SpyGlass Direct Visualization System for per-oral cholangiopancreatoscopy was introduced and since then has been shown to provide incremental diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. The main limitations of the original SpyGlass platform are fiber optic visualization system, limited tip angulation, square cut Spy scope tip, and complex multi-component setup. A new generation cholangioscopy platform, SpyGlass DS is currently in clinical use. The new system addresses many of the shortcomings of old platform including digital optics, improved tip angulation, tapered tip and simplified set up. It is unclear at this time whether this technical improvement will translate into better outcomes. Therefore, the investigators want to study the clinical utility of SpyGlass DS by prospectively collecting data on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing cholangioscopy with Spyglass DS as part of their routine medical care.

Participants received an additional two doses of obinutuzumab on Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1. Prior to study start, study centers chose whether they planned to administer 6 or 8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy.
Asthma is a heterogeneous disorder presenting with many phenotypes. Most asthmatics have mild to moderate disease. However, 5-20% of asthmatics belong to the "Difficult-to-treat" or more severe group and they account for 50-80% of asthma health care costs. In a tertiary hospital like Singapore General Hospital, most of our asthmatics belong to the more severe group. They have more frequent healthcare visits, hospitalizations, medication use and higher risks of death.

There is currently no local data on the phenotypic profile of our patients. Asthma phenotypes which have been identified include those related to triggers ( eg. drugs such as aspirin or NSAIDS, environmental allergen, occupational allergens or irritants, exercise) or clinical physiological phenotypes ( eg. severity-defined, exacerbation-prone, chronic airflow limitation, steroid-resistant, age -of -onset) or inflammatory phenotypes ( eg. eosinophilic, neutrophilic, pauci granulocytic, mixed). With better understanding of their phenotypes, treatment can then be individually tailored to improve their asthma control and reduce future risks.

We aim to improve the understanding of this group of asthmatics such that better treatment approaches can be developed in the future. This is not a clinical trial. Its purpose is to gather information ranging from demographic data, medical history to responses to simple routine questions, to lung function, inflammation, allergy and blood testing results. The data are analyzed to improve our understanding of the clinical and inflammatory phenotypes ( or profiles) in this group of patients.

Lactate clamp: After insertion of the catheters, and prior to isotope infusion, a background blood and breath sample (ParvoMedics TrueOne 2400) will be obtained. The investigator will then administer priming doses of 57.5 mg \[3-13C\]lactate, 250 mg D2-glucose and 136 mg H13CO3- followed by continuous infusions of \[3-13C\]lactate at 10 mg/min and D2-glucose at 2 mg/min. Along with the continuous isotope infusion the investigator will begin infusion of the Na-lactate at approximately 2.6mg/kg·min. Based upon readings from blood samples during the infusion, this rate will be adjusted as needed to maintain the target lactate concentration of approximately 4-5 mM. Blood samples will be drawn at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 120 minutes, while breath samples will be collected at 60, 75, 90 and 120 minutes.
This is a prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double blinded, crossover study. The investigators will identify, recruit and enroll 80 subjects with symptomatic, unilateral medial compartment knee OA. Enrolled subjects will be randomized into equal TP (in the FDA approved form, Forteo) or placebo arms of 40 subjects each (includes allowance for a 25% dropout rate with no replacements). All subjects will be treated for 24 weeks, then followed for an additional 24 weeks to assess the durability of any observed effects. The trial incorporates a crossover design, based on interim analysis of the 24 week outcome data after every subject has completed the 24 week treatment period. If positive effects on structural and/or biomarker measures are apparent from the interim analysis, placebo treated subjects will be offered TP (in the FDA approved form, Forteo) and followed for an additional 24 weeks. If the placebo subjects who choose to participate in the crossover treatment have not yet completed the 48 week visit, it will not occur. These subjects will begin the crossover portion 24 week treatment and monitoring period when they receive the TP pens (in the FDA approved form, Forteo).
Subject will undergo both Treatment 1 (sham) and Treatment 2 (with enhanced intensity). Subjects are blinded to the order of the sham vs active treatment.
Nutritional risk is associated with intensive care unit (ICU) stay and mortality, the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and the modified Nutritional Risk in the Critically Ill (mNUTRIC) score are assessment instruments and useful in predicting the risk regarding mortality in ICU patients. Our aim was to assess the effects of mNUTRIC and NRS 2002 on mortality in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A retrospective cohort study was performed and 78 patients were included for final analysis. In the current study, the NRS 2002 and the mNUTRIC score within 24 hours before starting ECMO were applied to assess patients' nutritional status on ECMO and explore the relationship between nutritional status and patient outcomes. This study suggests that both mNUTRIC and NRS 2002 scores were found to be significant independent risk and prognostic factors for in-hospital and 90 day morality among ECMO patients based on multivariable logistic regression analysis ( p < 0.05), with those in the high-risk group having higher in-hospital and 90 day mortality rates than those identified as being at low risk ( p < 0.001). In comparison to the NRS 2002 score, the mNUTRIC score demonstrated a superior prognostic ability in ECMO patients.
TAK-925, Dose Level A'2, single dose in healthy participants. Dose level will be determined based on the data of safety, tolerability and PK data from previous cohorts.
BACKGROUND: Clopidogrel monotherapy improved clinical outcomes compared with aspirin monotherapy during a chronic maintenance period in patients who underwent coronary stenting in the HOST-EXAM (Harmonizing Optimal Strategy for Treatment of Coronary Artery Stenosis-Extended Antiplatelet Monotherapy) trial. However, it is uncertain whether the beneficial effect of clopidogrel over aspirin is different according to the renal function.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a post hoc analysis of the HOST-EXAM trial. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was defined as baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2. The primary end point was a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, readmission due to acute coronary syndrome, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium bleeding type ≥3, during the 2-year follow up. Among the 5438 patients enrolled in the HOST-EXAM trial, 4844 patients (mean age, 63.3±10.6 years; 74.9% men) with a baseline creatinine value were analyzed in this study. A total of 508 (10.5%) patients had CKD, who were at higher risk of the primary end point compared with those without CKD (hazard ratio [HR], 2.01 [95% CI, 1.51-2.67]). Clopidogrel monotherapy was associated with a lower rate of the primary end point in both patients with CKD (HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.44-1.25]) and patients without CKD (HR, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.56-0.91]). No significant interaction was observed between the treatment effect and CKD status (P for interaction=0.889).
CONCLUSIONS: During the chronic maintenance period after coronary stenting, the risk of thrombotic and bleeding events was significantly higher in patients with CKD compared with those without CKD. There was no statistical difference in the treatment effect of clopidogrel monotherapy in those with versus without CKD.
A film-forming composition comprising a hydrocolloid, a plasticizer, and water is described. A process and apparatus for producing a non-gelatin film comprising a hydrocolloid, a plasticizer, and water is also disclosed. The process includes combining at least one non-gelatin hydrocolloid, water, and at least one plasticizer into a substantially homogeneous film-forming composition comprising at least about 40 percent water by weight. A  substantial portion of the water is then extracted from the film-forming composition to form a dried portion having a water content of less than or equal to about 25 percent by weight. The dried portion of the film-forming composition is formed into a film. A film produced according to the process preferably has a tensile strength at rupture of at least about 5 N, and a percent elongation of at least about 50 percent at rupture at room temperature. An apparatus for performing the process is also described, as well oral dosage forms encapsulated or enrobed in the produced film.
OBJECTIVES: Adolescence is a crucial life stage that can lead to excess weight and body dissatisfaction. Social inequalities in these issues may have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to analyze the presence of socioeconomic inequalities and their changes in these inequalities stratified by sex in 13- to 19-year-olds in a large Mediterranean city (Barcelona, Spain).
STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional population-based study.
METHODS: We used data from the 2016 and 2021 editions of the FRESC survey, which is a representative citywide survey that captures various aspects of adolescent health. Excess weight was determined by objective body mass index measurements. Body dissatisfaction was defined as the discrepancy between perceived and desired body shape. Socioeconomic status was divided into five pseudo-quintiles by using the Family Affluence Scale. We calculated the corresponding prevalence estimates and fitted robust Poisson regression models to estimate both simple and complex measures of inequality, including relative and absolute differences between the two survey years.
RESULTS: The overall prevalence of excess weight increased from 25.3% [23.9-26.6] to 29.8% [28.2-31.4] between 2016 and 2021. Similarly, body dissatisfaction increased from 44.2% [42.6-45.8] to 60.4% [58.7-62]. Socioeconomic inequalities in excess weight significantly increased in girls (adjusted ratio of the relative index of inequalities = 1.72 [1.08; 2.74] but not in boys. No significant changes were detected in body dissatisfaction in either girls or boys.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the presence of a sex-specific change in socioeconomic inequalities in adolescent well-being regarding excess weight and body dissatisfaction. These results underscore the need for local public policies to improve social equity in adolescent health.

Rationale: It has been proposed that there is a specific LTE4-receptor which causes infiltration of inflammatory cells and bronchoconstriction. This receptor is not blocked by the current class of clinically used antileukotriene drugs. The proposal receives circumstantial support from animal models, but has not been tested in a controlled study in subjects with asthma.

Study design: The study will have a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised, cross-over design. A screening period will precede the randomized phase. This will include routine haematology, blood chemistry and urinalyses, baseline measurements of exhaled nitric oxide, airway responsiveness to inhaled methacholine and, on a separate day, airway responsiveness to inhaled LTE4. Provided the subjects fulfill inclusion but not exclusion criteria, subjects will be randomized to receive medication with montelukast or matching placebo for 5 to 7 days. The intervention will be evaluated in the inhalation challenge setting using a rising dose cumulative protocol for inhaled LTE4 to induce a standardised bronchoconstriction (25% drop in lung function). The LTE4 challenge test is performed on the last treatment day, with the last dose of study medication taken in the research laboratory. Sampling of urine, blood and induced sputum will be done for measurements of lipid mediators and cellular responses.
