Chronic illness affects millions worldwide, rendering the life of those affected complex to manage. Extant research points to the need for effective and supportive care for the successful treatment, yet health care encounters for this population are often filled with negative experiences, ranging from discontinuity of care to disenfranchisement from providers. One such group dedicated to sharing struggles is the NEISVoid (No End In Sight) community on Twitter. Through the use of the hashtag, #NEISVoid, they come together to share what experiences living with chronic illness look like, in vulnerable and potentially unfiltered ways. The present study analyzes the discourse surrounding the hashtag #NEISVoid in tweets published from January 1 2020, until September 1 2022 (N = 450,914 tweets) using the mixed-method analysis of topic model network (ANTMN) approach. We identify and discuss four broad discursive themes: community experiences, symptom management, efficacy solutions, and biomedical health. We analyze this discourse through the chronic care model (CCM) and in light of research on hashtag activism. We discuss practical and theoretical implications for health communicators.

Method: 40 subjects, who are non-gravid women between 45 to 65 years old and need to have ≥10 solar lentigines on the forearms/hands, will be recruited. One to three flat lesions which are larger than 4 mm and with the same pigmentation intensity on the left or right forearm/hand, respectively, are designated the target lesions. However, all lesions on the randomly selected side will be treated with BEX-2011 twice a day. The opposite site will be treated with vehicle and is served as the control. Evaluation will be performed at week 0, 4 and 8. At each visit, treated and control spots as well as their surrounding spotless skin will be evaluated using Pigmentation Index Scores, VISIA-CR, SIAscope, Dermascore, and harmonic generation microscopy. Evaluation of the efficacy of whitening will be compared to the baseline and to the control area between week 0 and week 8. Safety will be assessed using clinical monitoring and adverse event reporting.

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether a four-drug anthracycline-based regimen or a seven-drug hybrid or eight-drug alternating regimen is the optimal treatment for patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm I (ABVD): Patients receive doxorubicin IV, bleomycin IV, vinblastine IV, and dacarbazine IV on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 4 weeks. Arm II (ChlVPP/PABLOE): Patients receive oral chlorambucil, procarbazine, and prednisolone on days 1-14; vinblastine IV on days 1 and 8; doxorubicin IV on day 29; vincristine IV and bleomycin IV on days 29 and 36; oral etoposide on days 29-31; and oral prednisolone again on days 29-38. Courses repeat every 7 weeks. OR (Hybrid - ChlVPP/EVA): Patients receive vincristine IV on day 1; oral etoposide on days 1-5; oral chlorambucil, procarbazine, and prednisolone on days 1-7; and doxorubicin IV and vinblastine IV on day 8. Courses repeat every 4 weeks. Patients in both arms receive up to 6-8 courses of treatment. Radiotherapy may be given to sites of previous bulk disease for patients in complete remission or uncertain remission. Patients who achieve partial remission may receive radiotherapy to residual disease sites. Patients who fail to respond, or have disease progression, may receive induction therapy followed by high-dose consolidation therapy. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 5 years, and then annually for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 800 patients will be accrued for this study.
This review is devoted to internationally accepted diagnostic algorithms for complicated chronic pancreatitis (CP). In addition, the authors discuss interventional radiological and endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as their role in surgical approaches for this disease. Chronic pancreatitis is often diagnosed with severe symptoms following severe course of disease and complications. Imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound, CT, MRI/MR cholangiocreatography (MRCP), secretin-stimulated MRCP, are valuable to assess the pancreas in patients with initial manifestations of CP. Modern treatment of complicated CP includes transpapillary or transmural drainage of false cysts, shock wave lithotripsy and stenting for pancreatic duct strictures and/or stones, stenting for biliary hypertension, endovascular interventions for vascular complications and radical surgical treatment. Endoscopic methods are preferable regarding better short-term quality of life. Early surgical intervention (within 3 years after clinical manifestation) is effective to eliminate or significantly reduce pain and pancreatic insufficiency. Multidisciplinary team including surgeons, endoscopists and interventional radiologists should determine the most optimal diagnostic and treatment approach individually for each patient.
This study set up two cohorts, Cohort A: patients with HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer, and planned to enroll 87 patients with initially treated advanced gastric cancer. Thirty patients with ORR of more than 70% were enrolled in the first stage and then further enrolled. Cohort B: advanced gastric cancer patients with HER2 positive initial treatment, the number of enrolled is not specified. Patients with initially treated advanced gastric cancer who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study to receive Sintilimab combined with mFLOT regimen. Trastuzumab was given to Cohort B. The results were repeated every 2 weeks and evaluated every 6 weeks. The examination methods were consistent with those at baseline. Patients without disease progression were treated for a maximum of 6 cycles, then switched to oral capecitabine monotherapy combined with the sintilimab until disease progression, intolerable adverse reactions, patient death, or withdrawal of informed consent. If intolerability toxicity of albumin paclitaxel or oxaliplatin occurs within 6 cycles, maintenance is advanced to sintilimab combined with capecitabine monotherapy. Patients were randomly assigned to Cohort A1 and Cohort A2 after maintaining treatment progress. Cohort A1: Cohort 1 combined with mFLOT; Cohort A2: mFLOT program Therapy. The regimen was repeated every 2 weeks and tumor efficacy was evaluated every 3 treatment cycles. Patients without disease progression were treated for a maximum of 6 cycles before being switched to monotherapy S-1 oral with or without sintilimab until disease progression, intolerable adverse reactions, patient death, or withdrawal of informed consent. The treatment should start within 1 week after the signing of informed consent, and the time from the signing of informed consent to the first progress should be PFS1; The time from the signing of informed consent to the progress of induction program back to the second progress is PFS2. In this study, peripheral blood and tissue samples of patients will be collected to analyze the correlation between biomarkers (such as Micro-RNA, cytokine expression levels, etc.) and efficacy and prognosis. The expected time of enrollment was 48 months, and the patients were observed clinically until disease progression and death. (PFS2 equals PFS1 if the induction regimen is applied again after the first disease progression and the first efficacy evaluation is the disease progression)
Approximately 1200 patients recruited prospectively from participating sites with a diagnosis of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). Will also include approximately 800 retrospective patients diagnosed with DCM currently biobanked by the lead site.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has a complicated pathophysiology. Binge ethanol intoxication may produce long-lasting changes throughout extended amygdala neurocircuitry including neuroinflammation, often leading to relapse. Therefore, understanding the role of binge drinking induced neuroinflammation on extended amygdala neurocircuitry is critically important for treatment. We sought to understand the role of neuroinflammation in a naturalized form of rodent binge ethanol drinking (Drinking in the Dark (DID)). In a 5-week DID paradigm, we demonstrate that acute intraperitoneal (IP) injection of the anti-inflammatory drug minocycline significantly reduced binge drinking repeatedly in male and female Cx3CR1-GFP and C57BL/6J mice. Importantly, IP administration transiently decreased intermittent access sucrose consumption, was not observed on the second IP injection, but did not significantly alter food or water consumption, suggesting that minocycline may produce initial acute aversive effects and may not alter long-term consumption of natural rewards. Examination of rodent behaviors post ethanol binge drinking reveals no lasting effects of minocycline treatment on locomotion or anxiety-like behavior. To assess neuroinflammation, we developed a novel analysis method using a Matlab image analysis script, which allows for non-biased skeletonization and evaluation of microglia morphology to determine a possible activation state in Cx3CR1-GFP knock-in mice after repeated DID. We observed significant morphological changes of microglia within the CeA, but no differences in the BLA. Taken together, this study demonstrates repeated binge ethanol consumption can produce significant levels of microglia morphology changes within the CeA, and that immunomodulatory therapies may be an intriguing pharmacological candidate for the treatment of AUD.
Alteration of gut microbiota can affect chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, through abnormal immune and inflammatory responses. Previous studies have shown a feasible connection between gut microbiota and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. However, whether BPD can be ameliorated by restoring the gut microbiota remains unclear. In preterm infants with BPD, we found variance in the diversity and structure of gut microbiota. Similarly, BPD rats showed gut dysbiosis, characterized by a deficiency of Lactobacillus, which was abundant in normal rats. We therefore explored the effect and potential mechanism of action of a probiotic strain, Lactobacillus plantarum L168, in improving BPD. The BPD rats were treated with L. plantarum L168 by gavage for 2 weeks, and the effect was evaluated by lung histopathology, lung function, and serum inflammatory markers. Subsequently, we observed reduced lung injury and improved lung development in BPD rats exposed to L. plantarum L168. Further evaluation revealed that L. plantarum L168 improved intestinal permeability in BPD rats. Serum metabolomics showed altered inflammation-associated metabolites following L. plantarum L168 intervention, notably a marked increase in anti-inflammatory metabolites. In agreement with the metabolites analysis, RNA-seq analysis of the intestine and lung showed that inflammation and immune-related genes were down-regulated. Based on the information from RNA-seq, we validated that L. plantarum L168 might improve BPD relating to down-regulation of TLR4 /NF-κB /CCL4 pathway. Together, our findings suggest the potential of L. plantarum L168 to provide probiotic-based therapeutic strategies for BPD.
Lactate clearance is well known to be associated with mortality in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. To normalize lactate levels is one of important goals of early resuscitation of sepsis patients.

Lactate clearance can be changed by various factors including patient characteristics, severity of shock, and treatment. In particular, hepatic dysfunction might impair the clearance of lactate because liver is a principal organ for lactate metabolism. However, an association between lactate clearance and hepatic failure has not been evaluated during initial resuscitation of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. The primary goal of this study is to compare lactate clearance in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock according to the presence of hepatic dysfunction. The secondary goal is to evaluate if lactate clearance is associated with mortality even in patients with hepatic dysfunction.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Benign prostatic hyperplasia affects the quality of life of a significant number of men, especially as they age. There are continuous innovations in the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but many of these innovations are studied in the core population of men 50-70 years of age. This review focuses on the outliers of men aged 18-50 and 70 and older.
RECENT FINDINGS: Older populations have more comorbidities, higher rates of antithrombotic medications, and advanced symptoms. Properly selected older men can safely have significant objective and subjective improvement in their symptoms. The literature was scarce when evaluating younger men; however, ejaculatory preserving techniques are promising providing improvement in symptoms and preserving ejaculation. This review demonstrates that in properly selected elderly patients, improvements in quality of life while also providing safe surgical interventions can be achieved. Ejaculatory preservation techniques demonstrate promising results, but further studies are required to elucidate true outcomes.
