BACKGROUND: Psychological factors such as anxiety and mood appear to influence acute postoperative pain; however, there is conflicting evidence on the relationship between preoperative psychological parameters and the severity of postoperative pain. In the context of the stressful setting of initial surgery for breast cancer, we conducted a prospective observational study of patients who were scheduled to undergo initial breast cancer surgery.
METHODS: The objectives were to examine the potential associations between predefined preoperative psychological parameters and (i) Self-reported pain scores at discharge from the postoperative acute care unit, (ii) Cumulative perioperative opioid consumption at four hours postoperatively and (iii) Self-reported pain as measured during the first seven days after surgery. Patients completed the following questionnaires during the three hours prior to surgery: the Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI State and Trait), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Cohen Stress Questionnaire (CSQ), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS A and D), and the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire. Postoperative pain experience was assessed using patient self-reports of pain (SF Magill Pain questionnaire on discharge from the postanaesthesia care unit and a pain diary for seven days postoperatively) and records of analgesic consumption.
RESULTS: Pre- to postoperative self-reported pain was significantly different with respect to the STAI State, Cohen score and PCS for both low and high values (p < 0.001), but only patients categorized as having low STAI Trait, HADS A, and HADS D values achieved significant differences (p < 0.001). A significant positive correlation was demonstrated between preoperative state anxiety (STAI) and the most severe pain reported during the first seven days postoperatively (r = 0.271, p = 0.013). Patients who were categorized preoperatively as having a "high value" for each of the psychological parameters studied (HADS A and D, STAI State and Trait and PCS) tended to have greater perioperative opioid consumption (up to four hours postoperatively); this trend was statistically significant for HADS D and HADS A only. Using a linear regression model, state anxiety was found to be a significant predictor of postoperative pain based on self-reports during the first seven postoperative days (standardized β = 0.271, t = 2.286, p = 0.025).
CONCLUSION: Preoperative state anxiety, in particular, is associated with the severity of postoperative pain experienced by women undergoing initial breast cancer surgery. Formal preoperative assessment of anxiety may be warranted in this setting with a view to optimize perioperative analgesia and wellbeing.
This is a phase I-II study to determine safety and efficacy of combining liposomal irinotecan with vincristine alternating with VAC in intermediate-risk patients, liposomal irinotecan with temozolomide and vincristine alternating with VAC in high-risk patients and the chemotherapy combinations when given with concomitant radiation therapy in intermediate and high risk patients. The phase I part (dose-finding phase) is a dose-escalation part using the BOIN design with maximally 18 patients for each of groups (intermediate -risk, high-risk, and intermediate -and-high-risk-with-early-radiation). Phase I part is to find the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose for the subsequent phase II part. Phase II part has two primary objectives. The first objective will derive the sample size and it is for efficacy and the endpoint is defined as a 2-year event-free survival (EFS) for each stratum, with 4 years enrollment and 2 years follow-up for each patient, by 80% power and 5% type I error rate, a single-arm adaptive phase II design is used to have estimated numbers of patients for intermediate-risk and high-risk groups are 46 and 33, respectively. The study will end once the last enrolled patient has been followed by 2 years. The second objective is to evaluate the local recurrence rate (LRR) of patients with tumor size ≥ 5cm by using a 2:1 randomization design of comparing administration of the two radiation strategies, 59.4 GyRBE and 68 GyRBE. For this part, 27 additional patients will be required.
PURPOSE: To obtain an agent having immunosuppressive action and containing imexon and optionally other immunosuppressant and a substance having antiretrovirus action. CONSTITUTION: This agent contains imexon [4-imino-1,3-diazabicyclo(3.1,0)- hexan-2-one] of the formula effective for specifically suppressing the proliferation or activation of B cell. The agent is effective for the treatment of all diseases in which the polyclonal activation or proliferation of B cell is participated from pathophysiological, symptomatic or clinical view points (e.g. autoimmune diseases, viral or retroviral infectious diseases, B cell leukemia or lymphoma). Imexon can be used in combination with other immunosuppressant (e.g. cyclosporin A) and an antiretrovirus active substance (e.g. azidothymidine). The daily administration dose of the compound is 5-50mg/kg, especially 5-20mg/kg body-weight.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Decisions to include these reactions in labeling are typically based on one or more of the following factors: (1) seriousness of the reaction, (2) frequency of reporting, or (3) strength of causal connection to irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide tablets.

The following have been very rarely reported: urticaria; angioedema (involving swelling of the face, lips, pharynx, and/or tongue); and hepatitis. Hyperkalemia has been rarely reported.

Very rare cases of jaundice have been reported with irbesartan.

Impaired renal function, including cases of renal failure in patients at risk, has been reported with irbesartan and irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide.

Cases of increased CPK and rhabdomyolysis have been reported in patients receiving angiotensin II receptor blockers.
Eighty diabetic patients were enrolled in this study; 37 females and 43 males with inclusion criteria of vitamin B12 levels less than 233 ng/ml. The participants were divided into two groups, the Dapagliflozin group (active comparator group) received only the diabetic-controlling drug Dapagliflozin 10 mg/daily orally for twelve months, whereas, vitamin B12 and Dapagliflozin group (Experimental group) received Vit. B12 supplements as methylcobalamin 500 µg orally once daily with Dapagliflozin 10 mg/daily orally for twelve months. Glycemic control was measured by monitoring levels of HbA1c and Vitamin B12 in the participant's blood four times at time intervals of three months during the study period. Additionally, the weight measurements were recorded during the study period at time intervals of three months and BMI was calculated. The data obtained was treated by statistical analysis using SPSS software (version 20) for the significant correlation of the independent variables of the study groups after vitamin B12 supplementation.
The interventions included under "usual care" include 1) untargeted nutrition education, 2) occasional untargeted coupons for healthier products, and 3) a nominal discount on their grocery purchases for using their loyalty card. These interventions are only received by participants randomized to the usual care arm (rather than the entire population of shoppers), and will allow for testing whether targeting discounts and nutrition education improves the diet quality of purchases in comparison to untargeted approaches.
Out of 112 high risk patients for POF diagnosis was established in 10 cases. Endometrial fractional biopsy was taken, stained with H\&E stain and by IH staining by stem cell marker OCT4. Immunohistochemical expression of stem cell marker OCT4 was evaluated before and after transplantation according to Edessy Stem Cell Scoring (ESS)Laparoscopic injected of stem cell Sample in the ovaries.. Participants were followed up monthly for a period of six months by hormonal (FSH, LH and E2), clinical (resuming menstruation), US (folliculometry), histopathological (HP), and IH expression of stem cell marker OCT4 of the endometrial biopsy (stem cell positivity according to ESS) outcome.

OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a condition characterized by the localized or widespread dilation of one or more coronary arteries. The majority of CAE patients do not present with clinical symptoms, and the exact cause of CAE remains unclear. Therefore, a retrospective analysis was conducted to explore the potential causes of CAE.
METHODS: This study was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent coronary angiography at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital between January 2017 and July 2022, of whom 679 patients were ultimately enrolled in the study. Among them, 260 patients were diagnosed with CAE, whereas 419 patients with normal coronary results composed the control group. Remnant cholesterol (RC) was calculated as total cholesterol (TC) minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The association between RC levels and the risk of CAE was assessed via multivariable logistic models.
RESULTS: Out of the 679 patients who participated in this study, with an average age of 59.9 years, 38.3% were diagnosed with CAE. Patients with CAE had higher RC levels than did those without CAE (P = 0.001). A significant positive association was observed between RC levels and the risk of CAE, with a multivariable adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.950 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.163-3.270). There was a significant positive association between RC levels and the risk of CAE in both single-vessel and multivessel dilation cases, as well as in isolated CAE and dilation secondary to coronary atherosclerosis. According to the subgroup analyses, RC levels were positively associated with the risk of CAE in participants with hypertension (OR, 1.065; 95% CI, 1.034-1.098).
CONCLUSION: RC levels are positively correlated with CAE, implying that a focus on RC could be beneficial in CAE research.

Primary cutaneous lymphomas represent the second extra nodal localization of lymphomas, and are constituted by T-cell and B-cell phenotype lymphomas. Mycosis fungoides, a T-cell epidermotropic lymphoma, is the most frequent. Its clinical behavior is usually indolent but some patients have an aggressive evolution. Among B-cell cutaneous lymphomas, primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT) is the most aggressive. Cytogenetic and molecular studies on these tumours led to a genetic characterization of these entities. Therefore, there is not any biologic marker that can help monitoring these lymphomas. In solid tumors, mutations exhibited by the tumour tissue has been detected in plasma of patients, assessing the possibility to detect cell-free circulating tumoral DNA in a blood sample, with correlations with clinical characteristics and metastatic outcome. The concept of liquid biopsies, allowing the detection of tumour mutation in plasma has been validated in nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. That's why the purpose is to evaluate the possibility to detect cell-free circulating tumoral DNA in primary cutaneous lymphomas, using a highly sensitive method (digital PCR), combined with a next generation sequencing panel of the tumour sample.
Antibiotic therapy.maging. Patients managed conservatively will receive one of the following parenteral antibiotic treatments: Piperacillin/Tazobactam (4.5 g) three intravenous administration per day; Ceftriaxone (2 g) once per day or Ciprofloxacin (500 mg) twice per day plus Metronidazole (500 mg) three times per day; Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid (2 g) four times per day for a length depending on the clinical conditions; Ertapenem (1 g) one administration per day for three days. Patients were discharged with oral antibiotics (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or ciprofloxacin) for at least four days.

Ketorol ac t ro metha mine did not i mpair fe rtility when ad ministered orally to male and fe male rats at doses up to 9 mg/kg/day and 16 mg/kg/day, respectively. These doses are respectively 225 and 400 ti mes higher than the typical h u man topical ophthal mic daily dose.
This Phase II clinical trial will evaluate the potential efficacy of rhPDGF-BB-enhanced wound matrix versus wound matrix saturated with normal saline to augment the reconstruction of head and neck defects that cannot approximate and heal by primary intention following skin cancer excision. This prospective, double-blinded, single-site study will randomize participants into two arms - intervention and control - comparing the granulation rates of the wound bed, skin graft success, aesthetic outcomes, and quality of life. After recruiting, consenting, and screening, participants will be scheduled for the baseline procedure to place the wound matrix into the wound bed. Randomization will occur the day of the procedure, and both the investigator and participant will be blinded. To achieve balance in treatment allocation, randomization blocks of 4 (2 interventions : 2 controls) will be stratified by anatomical location, scalp versus face/neck, and greatest dimension, \< or = 3cm versus \> 3cm, of the surgical defect.

Following the baseline procedure, participants will return for their first follow-up visit on day six for a clinical examination, suture removal, and wound dressing change, and follow-up visits will occur weekly for 8 weeks thereafter. At each visit, participants will complete the VAS pain scale and discuss any adverse events, the wound will be photographed and examined, and the investigator will assess the percent granulation and readiness for a skin graft. Participants will also submit daily photos of the wound while performing dressing changes at home starting on day seven until the skin graft procedure is completed. These photographs will be taken using a wound imaging application capable of ensuring a quality image, measuring the area of the wound, and transfer of the images to password-protected, cloud-based storage. The images will be analyzed by blinded wound experts, retrospectively, to determine the precise day (rather than the week) that the wound bed achieved 95-100% granulation. Placement of the skin graft may occur anytime between the first follow-up visit 1 week after the baseline procedure through 8 weeks. After the skin graft is placed, participants will continue the weekly visits through 8 weeks following the baseline procedure to assess pain and graft take. Under routine care with a wound matrix (no rhPDGF-BB), the average time to readiness is 4-6 weeks in this patient population. Here, we aim to reduce the time to readiness by adding rhPDGF-BB.
Our objectives were to measure long-term adherence to oral anticoagulants (OACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to identify patient factors associated with adherence. Using linked, population-based administrative data from British Columbia, Canada, an incident cohort of adults prescribed OACs for AF was identified. We calculated the proportion of days covered (PDC) as a time-dependent covariate for each 90-day window from OAC initiation until the end of follow-up. Associations between patient attributes and adherence were assessed using generalized mixed effect linear regression models. 30,264 patients were included. Mean PDC was 0.69 (SD 0.28) over a median follow-up of 6.7 years. 54% of patients were non-adherent (PDC < 0.8). After controlling for confounders, factors positively associated with adherence were number of drug class switches, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, history of vascular disease, time since initiation, and age. Age > 75 years at initiation, polypharmacy (among VKA users only), and receiving DOAC (vs. VKA) were negatively associated with adherence. PDC decreased over time for VKA users and increased for DOAC users. Over half of AF patients studied were, on average, nonadherent to OAC therapy and missed 32% of their doses. Several patient factors were associated with higher or lower adherence, and adherence to VKA declined during therapy while DOAC adherence increased slightly over time. To min im ize the risk stroke, adherence-supporting interventions are needed for all patients with AF, particularly those aged > 75 years, those with prior stroke or vascular disease, VKA users with polypharmacy, and DOAC recipients.

Postsurgical pain is one of the most important issues that could impress on postoperative peace and comfort. Laparoscopic hysterectomy associated with intense inflammatory response, resulting in moderate to severe postoperative pain perception The major goal in postoperative pain management is to minimize the dose of medications and lessen side effects, while still providing adequate analgesia. Postoperative pain relief leads to earlier mobilization, shortened hospital staying, reduced hospital costs, and increased patient satisfaction Narcotics are the most common analgesics which are used after the surgeries. But anesthetists are always looking for replaceable methods with fewer side effects and cost . It seems adjuvant analgesics are those desirable replacements. Nowadays there have been many debates on the role of adjuvant analgesics on postoperative pain relief. One way to use adjuvant analgesics is preventive method Preventive analgesia is a method initiated before anesthetic procedure in order to reduce the physiological consequences of nociceptive stimulation and medical adverse effects and has been defined as an antinociceptive treatment that prevents establishment of altered central processing of afferent input from injuries. One of the intravenous adjuvant that has been shown potential in preventive analgesia is magnesium sulfate that could be administered with multiple routes or methods Mg has been used for many years in anesthesia and cardiology as an anticonvulsant or antiarrhythmic drug. The mechanism of the analgesic effect of Mg is not clear but interference with calcium channels and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor seem to play an important role. It seems that analgesic mechanism of NMDA-antagonists is made by preventing nociceptive central sensitization. Another suggesting mechanism is the role of it on reduction of catecholamine release with sympathetic stimulation, thereby decreasing peripheral nociception or the stress response to the surgery. Data illustrate that the NMDA receptor antagonists "like Mg sulfate" have an effect on pain threshold and could prevent pain perception even with low doses (preventive doses) In our study, investigators aimed to determine the contribution of magnesium sulfate to postoperative analgesia in abdominal hysterectomy by considering its mechanism of action.

The patients were divided into two groups as magnesium sulfate administered and non-administered The magnesium group received a bolus of 20 mg/kg of magnesium sulfate in 100 mL of saline for 15 minutes before induction, followed by a continuous infusion of 20 mg/kg/hr until the skin was closed. The same volume of isotonic saline for the control group was administered as indicated in the magnesium group.
