Total blood carbon monoxide (TBCO) showed promising results in improving accuracy of CO determinations in blood and presenting better stability to different storage conditions. Therefore, it was proposed as an alternative biomarker to carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) for CO poisoning diagnosis. However, given that current interpretation reference values exist for COHb only, it is difficult to implement TBCO analysis in routine. Therefore, we aimed at determining TBCO reference values for postmortem CO poisoning cases. A previously validated method for TBCO analysis via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was applied to cardiac, peripheral, cranial and spleen blood samples collected from 92 autopsies. Autopsy cases included 21 non-CO-related and 71 CO-related cases with varying postmortem intervals (PMIs). Statistical analyses were performed using statistical software R Studio. When comparing lower to higher PMIs for non-CO-related cases, no significant differences were found, which suggests that CO formation or degradation at low PMIs does not occur. Spleen blood showed potential as an alternative matrix to CO determinations in cases with sample availability issues but needs to be evaluated for CO-positive cases. Results for cardiac blood in CO-related autopsies showed a positive correlation between COHb and TBCO values (R = 0.78). This value is lower than what is found in the literature, suggesting that even though COHb and TBCO are correlated, a potential underestimation of the true CO exposure might occur if only COHb values are taken into consideration. Samples were divided into CO exposure groups based on COHb concentrations, and with the data obtained, classification into the following TBCO concentration groups is proposed: no significant CO exposure case <6 µmol/mL, medium CO exposure case 6-20 µmol/mL and high CO exposure case >20 µmol/mL. Even if a higher number of samples in each group would enable to increase the confidence, these results are very promising and highlight the importance of TBCO measurement.
In haematological malignancy and in immunocompromised patients, constipation is a common symptom caused by a number of factors during treatment. Chemotherapy and certain analgesic medications are major contributory factors in addition to inadequate fluid intake and reduced mobility during treatment. In current practice, an abdominal radiograph is the first imaging investigation for constipation and non specific abdominal pain to support or exclude the clinical suspicion of constipation. However, there is a skin entrance dose of 1.5 msv from plain film with radiation exposure to gonads. Children are more sensitive to radiation induced adverse effects especially the thyroid gland and bone marrow. Immunocompromised patients are also at risk of developing a second malignant neoplasm. Ultrasound is proven to detect faecal loading in the rectum without ionizing radiation but it is difficult to assess the entire length of colon and it largely depends on the operator's experience. MRI is an alternative imaging modality without ionizing radiation. Imaging the peritoneal cavity on abdominal MRI has traditionally been challenging primarily because of bowel motion and long acquisition time for standard T1 and T2 weighted sequences. The recent development of an ultrafast 2 dimensional FIESTA sequence by GE Healthcare based on the balanced steady state free precession (b-SSFP) pulse sequence has several advantages, including motion insensitivity (does not interfere with peristalsis), sharp edge definition and higher contrast when compared with the standard SSFSE pulse sequence. FIESTA images allow clear delineation of intra-peritoneal and retroperitoneal anatomy and are capable of depicting the vascular anatomy and lymph-adenopathy. There is a wide spectrum of diseases which could cause abdominal pain in our study group with constipation being the most common cause but MRI could potentially detect more serious bowel related chemotherapy induced complications such as typhlitis, pneumatosis coli, veno-occlusive disease, pancreatitis and intra abdominal abscess, which would not be apparent on abdominal radiograph.
Patients should be informed of the availability of a Medication Guide, and they should be instructed to read the Medication Guide prior to taking zonisamide capsules. Patients should be instructed to take zonisamide capsules only as prescribed.

Patients should be advised as follows: (See Medication Guide)

  


  1. Zonisamide may produce drowsiness, especially at higher doses. Patients should be advised not to drive a car or operate other complex machinery until they have gained experience on zonisamide sufficient to determine whether it affects their performance. Because of the potential of zonisamide to cause CNS depression, as well as other cognitive and/or neuropsychiatric adverse events, zonisamide should be used with caution if used in combination with alcohol or other CNS depressants.
  2. Patients should contact their physician immediately if a skin rash develops or seizures worsen.
  3. Patients should contact their physician immediately if they develop signs or symptoms, such as sudden back pain, abdominal pain, and/or blood in the urine, that could indicate a kidney stone. Increasing fluid intake and urine output may reduce the risk of stone formation, particularly in those with predisposing risk factors for stones.
  4. Patients should contact their physician immediately if a child has been taking zonisamide and is not sweating as usual with or without a fever.
  5. Because zonisamide can cause hematological complications, patients should contact their physician immediately if they develop a fever, sore throat, oral ulcers, or easy bruising.
  6. Suicidal Thinking and Behavior \- Patients, their caregivers, and families should be counseled that AEDs, including zonisamide, may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior and should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts, behavior, or thoughts about self-harm. Behaviors of concern should be reported immediately to healthcare providers. 
  7. Patients should contact their physician immediately if they develop fast breathing, fatigue/tiredness, loss of appetite, or irregular heart beat or palpitations (possible manifestations of metabolic acidosis).
  8. As with other AEDs, patients should contact their physician if they intend to become pregnant or are pregnant during zonisamide therapy. Patients should notify their physician if they intend to breast-feed or are breast-feeding an infant.  
  
Patients should be encouraged to enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) Pregnancy Registry if they become pregnant. This registry is collecting information about the safety of antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy. To enroll, patients can call the toll free number 1-888-233-2334 (see PRECAUTIONS, Pregnancy subsection).
Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a disease in which the soft tissues surrounding the eye can become inflamed, scarred, and at times permanently damaged in an autoimmune reaction highly associated with abnormal thyroid hormone levels. Some patients have much more severe TED than others, but overall, most patients reach a point with relatively stable TED after 1 to 2 years. A recent European study showed that oral selenium, a trace mineral involved in anti-oxidation and immune regulation, could actually alter the course of mild TED, lessening its signs and symptoms and even improving the quality of life of those who took it. The investigators would like to perform a sister study throughout North America. In this randomized, double-blinded, multi-center trial, some subjects with mild TED would be given 100 micrograms of sodium selenite twice a day; others would receive a placebo. Signs, symptoms, and quality of life would be measured at regular intervals throughout the 6 month period of drug administration, and for 6 months thereafter.
We have designed a randomized, double-blind, triple cross-over intervention study to examine the efficacy of indoor NO2 reduction on reducing asthma severity. Since particles and NO2 are both byproducts of combustion and associated with gas stove use, the intervention protocol includes a condition using a filter designed to remove particles also implicated in asthma exacerbations (e.g., coarse, fine and ultrafine particles including airborne mold spores and allergens) while leaving NO2 virtually untouched. Primary and secondary aims of the trial include, respectively, determining whether reducing exposure to NO2 and particles compared to a "control" (non-filtered) condition results in a clinically significant reduction in asthma severity measured by a difference in days of symptoms between intervention arms.

Families with asthmatic children age 5-11 will be recruited from selected communities using a: (1) flyers distributed in elementary schools, (2) postcards send to families from purchased mailing lists, (3) posters placed in community buildings (libraries, clinics, etc.), (4) online (Facebook, Craigslist), and (5) letter mailed to families targeted through Yale Joint Data Analytics Team (JDAT). Volunteers will be screened for preliminary eligibility based on household characteristics and active asthmatic status. Potentially eligible families will have homes with a gas cooking stove and seven rooms or fewer. Potentially eligible children will be aged 5-11; have asthma symptoms and/or medication use consistent with severity score categories 2 (mild persistent), 3 (moderate), or 4 (severe) during the previous 12 months; and reside at least 5 days and nights every week in the eligible home.

Households meeting these preliminary criteria will be asked to participate in passive NO2 sampling. A single Palmes tube will be sent to the home for placement in the main living space for one week. Families will be called after one week and instructed to cap and return the NO2 monitor in a pre-paid mailer. Families of children living in homes where the one-week integrated average NO2 concentration is ≥ 15 ppb will be invited to participate. We will permit enrollment of more than one eligible child per family. Participating families will be randomized into one of 6 treatment sequences each requiring 3 periods of 4-weeks preceded by a 1-week washout period. Randomization will be blocked so that for every 18 subjects randomized there will be 3 in each sequence. Randomization will be conducted blindly by the data management department such that each scheduled initial interview/air cleaner installation is assigned a treatment sequence (referring to machines and filters already on site). Minimization techniques will be used to balance the randomized allocation as necessary. Total subject participation time up to 18 weeks.
Sleep inertia is a disabling state of grogginess and impaired vigilance immediately upon awakening. The adenosine receptor antagonist, caffeine, is widely used to reduce sleep inertia symptoms, yet the initial, most severe impairments are hardly alleviated by post-awakening caffeine intake. To ameliorate this disabling state more potently, the investigators developed an innovative, delayed, pulsatile-release caffeine formulation targeting an efficacious dose briefly before planned awakening.

The investigators comprehensively test this formulation in two placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over studies. First, the investigators establish the in vivo caffeine release profile in young men. Subsequently, they investigate the formulation's ability to improve sleep inertia in sleep-restricted volunteers. Following oral administration of 160 mg caffeine at habitual bedtime \[22:30\], the investigators keep the participants awake until 03:00, to increase sleep inertia symptoms upon scheduled awakening \[at 07:00\]. Immediately upon awakening, the investigators quantify subjective state, psychomotor vigilance, cognitive performance, and the cortisol awakening response. They also record polysomnography during nocturnal sleep and a 1-hour nap opportunity at 08:00.
Marplan should not be administered in combination with any SSRI. There have been reports of serious, sometimes fatal, reactions (including hyperthermia, rigidity, myoclonus, autonomic instability with possible rapid fluctuations of vital signs, and mental status changes that include extreme agitation and confusion progressing to delirium and coma) in patients receiving fluoxetine (Prozac®, Lilly) in combination with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), and in patients who have recently discontinued fluoxetine and are then started on a MAOI. Some cases presented with features resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Fluoxetine and other SSRIs should therefore not be used in combination with Marplan, or within 14 days of discontinuing therapy with Marplan. As fluoxetine and its major metabolite have very long elimination half-lives, at least 5 weeks should be allowed after stopping fluoxetine before starting Marplan. At least 2 weeks should be allowed after stopping sertraline (Zoloft®, Pfizer) or paroxetine (Paxil®, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals) before starting Marplan. In addition, there should be an interval of least 10 days between discontinuation of Marplan and initiation of fluoxetine or other SSRIs.
In adults without heart disease, clinical observation suggests that an overdose of digoxin of 10 to 15 mg was the dose resulting in death of half of the patients. If more than 25 mg of digoxin was ingested by an adult without heart disease, death or progressive toxicity responsive only to digoxin-binding Fab antibody fragments resulted. Cardiac manifestations are the most frequent and serious sign of both acute and chronic toxicity. Peak cardiac effects generally occur 3 to 6 hours following overdosage and may persist for the ensuing 24 hours or longer. Digoxin toxicity may result in almost any type of arrhythmia (see ADVERSE REACTIONS). Multiple rhythm disturbances in the same patient are common. Cardiac arrest from asystole or ventricular fibrillation due to digoxin toxicity is usually fatal. 

Among the extra-cardiac manifestations, gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. nausea, vomiting, anorexia) are very common (up to 80% incidence) and precede cardiac manifestations in approximately half of the patients in most literature reports. Neurologic manifestations (e.g. dizziness, various CNS disturbances), fatigue, and malaise are very common. Visual manifestations may also occur with aberration in color vision (predominance of yellow green) the most frequent. Neurological and visual symptoms may persist after other signs of toxicity have resolved. In chronic toxicity, non-specific extra-cardiac symptoms, such as malaise and weakness, may predominate.
Adverse reactions reported in controlled clinical trials in 960 patients treated for rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis are listed below. In general, reactions in patients treated chronically were reported 2 to 10 times more frequently than they were in short-term studies in the 962 patients treated for mild to moderate pain or for dysmenorrhea. The most frequent complaints reported related to the gastrointestinal tract.

A clinical study found gastrointestinal reactions to be more frequent and more severe in rheumatoid arthritis patients taking daily doses of 1500 mg naproxen compared to those taking 750 mg naproxen (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).

In controlled clinical trials with about 80 pediatric patients and in well-monitored, open-label studies with about 400 pediatric patients with juvenile arthritis treated with naproxen, the incidence of rash and prolonged bleeding times were increased, the incidence of gastrointestinal and central nervous system reactions were about the same, and the incidence of other reactions were lower in pediatric patients than in adults.

In patients taking naproxen in clinical trials, the most frequently reported adverse experiences in approximately 1% to 10% of patients are:
FIELD: stomatology. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to coatings for solid tissues such as dentine, enamel, cement material, and bone. Coating can also be applied on other surfaces in mouth cavity including surfaces of dental plugs and orthodontic and orthopedic dental ware. Coating composition contains polymer including repeating motifs of polar or polarizable group (1-80 wt %), modulating group (0-98 wt %), and grafted hydrophobic polysiloxane chain with molecular weight at least 500 (1-40 wt %). Coatings show low coefficient of friction and high resistance against plaques, bacteria, food coloration, etc. In addition, treatment of thus coated surface with composition containing a surfactant was unexpectedly found to reduce adhesion of bacteria and protein substances. Such treatment gives positive effects even in cases when surface was preliminarily exposed to action of bacteria and protein substances. EFFECT: increased protective capability of coating. 71 cl, 4 dwg, 30 tbl, 16 ex

INTRODUCTION: Circadian syndrome (CircS) is proposed as a novel risk cluster based on reduced sleep duration, abdominal obesity, depression, hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia. However, the association between CircS and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. To investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal association between CircS and CKD, this study was performed.
METHODS: A national prospective cohort (China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, CHARLS) was used in this study. To define CKD, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated based on the 2012 CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C equation. Participants with eGFR <60 mL.min-1/1.73/m2 were diagnosed with CKD. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to assess the cross-sectional association between CircS and CKD. Subgroup and interactive analyses were performed to determine the interactive effects of covariates. In the sensitivity analysis, the obese population was excluded and another method for calculating the eGFR was used to verify the robustness of previous findings. In addition, participants without CKD at baseline were followed up for four years to investigate the longitudinal relationship between CircS and CKD.
RESULTS: A total of 6355 participants were included in this study. In the full model, CircS was positively associated with CKD (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.04-1.59, P < 0.05). As per one increase of CircS components, there was a 1.11-fold (95% CI = 1.04-1.18, P < 0.05) risk of prevalent CKD in the full model. A significant interactive effect of hyperuricemia in the CircS-CKD association (P for interaction < 0.01) was observed. Sensitivity analyses excluding the obese population and using the 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation to diagnose CKD supported the positive correlation between CircS and CKD. In the 2011-2015 follow-up cohort, the CircS group had a 2.18-fold risk of incident CKD (95% CI = 1.33-3.58, P < 0.01) in the full model. The OR was 1.29 (95% CI = 1.10-1.51, P < 0.001) with per one increase of CircS components.
CONCLUSION: CircS is a risk factor for CKD and may serve as a predictor of CKD for early identification and intervention.
Some aspects of this invention are based on the recognition that reversible protein multimers in which monomeric proteins are conjugated to a carrier molecule via chelation complex bonds are stable under physiological conditions and can be dissociated in a controlled manner under physiological, nontoxic conditions. Accordingly, such protein multimers are useful for a variety of in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo application for research, diagnostics, and therapy. Some aspect of this invention provide reversible MHC protein multimers, and methods of using such multimers in the detection and/or isolation of specific T-cells or T-cell populations. Because reversible MHC multimers can efficiently be dissociated, the time of MHC binding to T-cell receptors, and, thus, T-cell receptor- mediated T-cell activation can be minimized. The use of reversible MHC multimers as provided herein, accordingly, allows for the detection and isolation of  bona fide  antigen- specific CD8+ T cells without inducing activation dependent cell death, including rare, therapeutically valuable T- cells expressing T-cell receptors binding tumor antigens with high affinity. Methods for the production and use of reversible multimers are also provided.
The investigators will collect 100 patients with secretory hypertension and 100 patients with essential hypertension. Patients with endocrine hypertension will be divided into surgical treatment group and drug treatment group according to actual treatment situation. Resected specimens from surgical patients will be used for immunohistochemistry and western blot. A database will be established for all patients to assess their general situation, past medical history, metabolic and biochemical indicators, psychological status, cardiovascular risk factors, etc. The investigators expect to find more accurate screening indicators from blood and urine specimens. All the patients will be followed up for 12 months at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Blood pressure, degree of atherosclerosis, biochemical markers, hormone levels and cardiac function indicators will be measured at three time points.
