Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries require a surgical incision of the lateral thoracic wall. In order to ease the postoperative pain of patients undergoing VATS, some regional anaesthesia techniques have been tried but there is no consensus on the best method. The gold standard peripheric nerve block is considered to be thoracal paravertebral block (TPVB). Recently, a new nerve block called serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB) has been described. The anatomic and radiologic studies of SPSIPB suggest that the local anaesthetic distributes from C7 to T10 vertebrates, covering the surgical site of VATS. This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of TPVB and SPSIPB for VATS. The hypothesis is that participants receiving SPSIPB for VATS will have a less total opioid consumption 24 hours postoperatively. Also, the postoperative pain scores and opioid related side effects of the participants will be recorded. Participants will be divided in two groups. The group P will receive a TPVB preoperatively in the operating room. The group S will receive a SPSIPB preoperatively in the operating room. The participants will be followed 24 hours postoperatively and their total opioid consumption, numeric rating scores for pain, incidence of opioid related side effects will be recorded. Also the participants and the surgical teams perioperative pain related satisfaction will be evaluated.

Violence exposure is associated with worsening anxiety and depression symptoms among adolescents. Mechanistically, social defeat stress models in mice indicate that violence increases peripherally derived macrophages in threat appraisal regions of the brain, which have been causally linked to anxious behavior. In the present study, we investigate if there is a path connecting violence exposure with internalizing symptom severity through peripheral inflammation and amygdala connectivity. Two hundred and thirty-three adolescents, ages 12-15, from the Chicago area completed clinical assessments, immune assays and neuroimaging. A high-dimensional multimodal mediation model was fit, using violence exposure as the predictor, 12 immune variables as the first set of mediators and 288 amygdala connectivity variables as the second set, and internalizing symptoms as the primary outcome measure. 56.2% of the sample had been exposed to violence in their lifetime. Amygdala-hippocampus connectivity mediated the association between violence exposure and internalizing symptoms (    ζ ̂ Hipp π ̂ Hipp = 0.059 $$ {\hat{\zeta}}_{\mathrm{Hipp}}{\hat{\pi}}_{\mathrm{Hipp}}=0.059 $$  ,  95 % CI boot = 0.009,0.134  $$ 95\%{\mathrm{CI}}_{\mathrm{boot}}=\left[\mathrm{0.009,0.134}\right] $$  ). There was no evidence that inflammation or inflammation and amygdala connectivity in tandem mediated the association. Considering the amygdala and the hippocampus work together to encode, consolidate, and retrieve contextual fear memories, violence exposure may be associated with greater connectivity between the amygdala and the hippocampus because it could be adaptive for the amygdala and the hippocampus to be in greater communication following violence exposure to facilitate evaluation of contextual threat cues. Therefore, chronic elevations of amygdala-hippocampal connectivity may indicate persistent vigilance that leads to internalizing symptoms.
Background. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease with high mortality rate, but due to the development of drugs, the prognosis of the disease has improved. However patients still have poor exercise capacity and decrease of the quality of life. Past studies have shown that idiopathic and secondary PH are different in etiology and prognosis. It is necessary to further understand the difference between exercise capacity and quality of life of these two types of patients.

Purpose. The purpose of this study is the comparison of idiopathic and secondary PH in exercise capacity and quality of life, and analyzed the factors affecting.

Method. The patients recruit from National Taiwan University hospital. Thirty patients who diagnosis with PH and willing to participant our study will recruited. According to the cause of disease patients will divided into two groups, idiopathic group and secondary PH group has fifteen patients. Both of group receive testing, including body composition, exercise capacity (six minutes walk test, cardiopulmonary exercise testing), record their regular physical activity( seven day physical activity recall questionnaire) , fatigue severity(fatigue severity scale), and quality of life (SF-36), monitor cardiac function (non-invasive cardiac output test instrument). Data are analyze using SPSS19.0 version. Data will be presented in mean ± standard deviation and percentage. Using Kolmogorov-Smirmov test to test, whether the data were normal distribution, when P\> 0.05 is considered as a normal distribution. Mann-Whitney U test or Chi-square test to processing parameters between two groups. Independent sample t test will be used to compare whether there are between-group differences. Pearson correlation coefficient will be used to test correlations between the parameters. The study defines significant level at α = 0.05, two-tailed.
Real-life data comparing the long-term outcome in patients with different heart diseases carrying an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) are scarce. This study aimed to compare the long-term risk of the first appropriate ICD intervention and overall survival in patients with ICD and heart disease of different etiologies. Patients with an ICD implanted between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2022, followed in our center were included. Study outcomes were all-cause mortality and first appropriate ICD intervention. A comparison between ischemic heart disease (IHD) and non-IHD (NIHD) was performed. In NIHD different etiologies of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) were analyzed. Overall, 1184 patients (592 IDH; 592 NIHD) were included. During a median follow-up of 53 months all-cause death occurred in 399 patients (34%) whereas first appropriate ICD intervention occurred in 320 (27%). All-cause mortality was significantly higher in IHD vs NIHD patients (60% vs 43%; p <0.0001) but no differences in appropriate ICD intervention rate at 10 years (34% vs 40%; p = 0.125) were observed. In patients with NIHD, a higher 10-year mortality rate was found in valvular heart disease, post-radio/chemotherapy DCM (rctDCM), and hypertensive DCM. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, alcoholic DCM, and rctDCM were the least arrhythmic phenotypes in NIHD. Of note, inappropriate interventions in alcoholic DCM and rctDCM were higher than appropriate ones. In conclusion, the rate of ICD-appropriate interventions and mortality is different according to the etiology of heart disease and cardiovascular risk profile; this should be taken into consideration in the prognostic stratification of these patients at the time of implantation.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to describe and investigate the effect of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies in a cohort of patients with severe precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; PH-COPD), and to assess factors predictive of treatment response and mortality.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively included patients with severe incident PH-COPD who received PAH therapy and underwent RHC at diagnosis and on treatment.
RESULTS: From 2015 to 2022, 35 severe PH-COPD patients, with clinical features of pulmonary vascular phenotype, were included. Seventeen (48.5%) patients were treated with combined PAH therapy. PAH therapy led to a significant improvement in hemodynamics (PVR -3.5 Wood Units (-39.3%); p < 0.0001), and in the simplified four-strata risk-assessment score, which improved by at least one category in 21 (60%) patients. This effect was more pronounced in patients on dual therapy. Kaplan-Meier estimated survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 94%, 65% and 42% respectively. Univariate analysis showed a significant reduction in survival in patients with a higher simplified risk score at follow-up (Hazard ratio (HR) 2.88 [1.16-7.15]; p = 0.02). Hypoxemia <50 mmHg was correlated to mortality in multivariate analysis (HR 4.33 [1.08-17.42]; p = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms the poor prognosis of patients with COPD and a pulmonary vascular phenotype and the potential interest of combined PAH therapy in this population, with good tolerability and greater clinical and hemodynamic improvement than monotherapy. Using the simplified risk score during follow-up could be of interest in this population.
OBJECTIVES: Children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID) have high rates of mental health disorders, particularly anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has largely remained unexamined as a treatment option for this population. Fearless Me! © is an adapted CBT treatment program specifically designed for children and adolescents with ID.
METHOD: Eleven children, aged between eight and 17, completed 10 therapy sessions. Measures of anxiety were completed pre and posttreatment and at 3 and 12-month follow-ups by both the children and parents.
RESULTS: Six children reported significant reductions in anxiety, with all showing significant reductions in parent-reported child anxiety at either posttreatment assessment, 3-month follow-up, or 12-month follow-up. Results varied across the six children as all parents reported heightened anxiety, but not all children reported high levels of anxiety for themselves.
CONCLUSION: Overall, this evaluation provides a sound basis for continued investigation and research into the use of the Fearless Me! © modified CBT program to treat children with ID and anxiety.
GONITRO is contraindicated in patients who are using a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5). PDE-5-Inhibitors such as avanafil, sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil have been shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of organic nitrates.

GONITRO is contraindicated in patients who are taking soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators. Concomitant use can cause hypotension.

The time course and dose dependence of these interactions have not been studied, and use within a few days of one another is not recommended. Appropriate supportive care for the severe hypotension has not been studied, but it seems reasonable to treat this as a nitrate overdose, with elevation of the extremities and with central volume expansion.
The time course of blood pressure decrease is dependent on the initial rate of infusion and the frequency of dosage adjustment. With constant infusion, blood pressure begins to fall within minutes. It reaches about 50% of its ultimate decrease in about 45 minutes.  
  
Monitor blood pressure and heart rate continually during infusion and avoid too rapid or excessive blood pressure drop during treatment. If there is concern of impending hypotension or tachycardia, the infusion should be discontinued. Then, when blood pressure has stabilized, restart infusion of nicardipine hydrochloride injection at low doses such as 30 to 50 mL/hr (3 to 5 mg/hr) and adjusted to maintain desired blood pressure.
High dose IVC induces pro-oxidant effects, inhibits energy metabolism, acts as cytotoxic effect, and induces cancer cell apoptosis and necrosis. The recent advance in Warburg effect makes a new direction in high dose IVC therapy. The Warburg effect is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate observed in tumor cells, even in the presence of normal levels of oxygen. Converting glucose to lactate, rather than metabolizing it through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria, is far less efficient as less ATP is generated per unit of glucose metabolized. Therefore, a high rate of glucose uptake is required to meet increased energy needs to support rapid tumor progression..

Vitamin C shares very similar structure with glucose. The high-dose IVC gets accessibility to glucose transporter, with competition to glucose. Having a reduced level of blood sugar seems to be a necessary parameter to increase IVC's anticancer effectiveness. VLCD with high dose IVC showed effectiveness in case series.

The investigator's project is a single-centered, clinical trial (pilot study) for stage IV colon cancer patients with or without chemotherapy. The experimental group will receive high dose vitamin C 75 or 100g (with blood vitamin C level \> 350 mg/dl) in 1000 ml distilled water in 2-hour infusion, twice per week for 12 weeks. Then maintenance dose is 75-100 g once per 2 weeks for 12 weeks. Very low carbohydrate diet will be executed for the first 12 weeks. The control group will be matched for age, sex and chemotherapy and target therapy medication. The control group will receive usual care. The primary outcome will be the response rate by computerized tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis at 12 weeks and 24 weeks. The secondary outcome will be the improvement of tumor markers (CEA and Ca199).

This is the first clinical trial of IVC therapy with VLCD for stage IV colon cancer in Taiwan and in the world. This innovation will give us a primitive answer on the effectiveness of IVC therapy with VLCD for cancers. Vitamin C is a cheap and harmless therapy. The study result will open a door for alternative cancer treatment.
Treatment group will receive extracorporeal photopheresis. First, a two-day treatment cycle will be performed once every second week for the first two months. Then, a two-day treatment cycle will be performed once a month for 6 months.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship of cerebrospinal fluid and serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and cluster of differentiation 93 (CD93) with the progression and prognosis of viral encephalitis (VE) in children.
METHODS: Prospectively, 102 children with VE admitted from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected as the VE group. The patients were divided into a mild subgroup (64 patients) and a severe subgroup (38 patients) according to disease progression. The patients were also divided into a good prognosis subgroup (29 patients) and a poor prognosis subgroup (73 patients) according to prognosis. A control group of 102 children with central nervous system diseases who were examined and found not to have VE during the same period was selected. The factors contributing to the poor prognosis of children with VE and the predictive value of SIL-2R, eNOS, and CD93 in cerebrospinal fluid and serum for the poor prognosis of children with VE were evaluated.
RESULTS: Cerebrospinal fluid and serum SIL-2R, eNOS, and CD93 levels were significantly increased in the VE group, severe subgroup, and poor prognosis subgroup (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high SIL-2R, eNOS, and CD93 levels in cerebrospinal fluid and serum were risk factors for poor prognosis in children with VE (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the combination of cerebrospinal fluid SIL-2R, eNOS, and CD93 was superior to these individual indicators in prediction of poor prognosis in children with VE (P<0.05). Similarly, the combination of serum SIL-2R, eNOS, and CD93 was superior to these individual indicators in prediction of poor prognosis in children with VE (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The cerebrospinal fluid and serum levels of SIL-2R, eNOS, and CD93 are significantly elevated in children with VE, and they are associated with VE progression and prognosis.
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) comprises hydatidiform mole, invasive mole, epithelioid trophoblastic tumor, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and choriocarcinoma. Ectopic molar gestation (EMG) is exceedingly rare with similar malignant potential like that of an intrauterine molar pregnancy. We report an uncommon case of EMG diagnosed by ultrasonography (USG) with a brief literature review. A 36-year-multipara presented at 8-weeks gestational age with severe abdominal pain and spotting. She underwent a spontaneous abortion 4 months back. Current transabdominal USG revealed a large right adnexal hydatidiform mole with moderate hemoperitoneum. Right ovary could not be discerned separately. Emergency laparotomy with hysterectomy and right adnexal clearance was done. Histopathology showed complete ectopic hydatidiform mole. USG remains the modality of choice for initial assessment of suspected GTD and it allows reliable evaluation of residual or recurrent disease. This report emphasizes the role of USG in the diagnosis of EMG and also, the importance of including EMG in the differential diagnosis of suspected ectopic pregnancy.
The primary objective for this registry is to systematically collect and document use patterns, effectiveness, and safety of DMARDs (Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs), biologic agents, and any other treatments currently used in the management of RA.

The design is a prospective, non-interventional registry for patients with RA under the care of a rheumatologist. Longitudinal data are collected from both patients and their treating rheumatology providers during routine clinical encounters using a structured and standardized data collection method. The scope of data collection includes but is not limited to patient demographics, disease duration, medical history (including all prior and current treatments for RA), smoking status, alcohol use, disease activity and severity, pain, as well as other clinician- and patient-reported outcomes, comorbidities and adverse events, infections, hospitalizations, and other targeted safety outcomes. After the enrollment visit, RA patients and physicians will complete the follow-up questionnaires during regularly scheduled clinical encounters. The goal is to collect data from patients and providers at six month intervals. Adverse events may be volunteered spontaneously by the subject, or be discovered as a result of general questioning by the Investigator. During all CorEvitas related visits with the Investigator, subjects will be questioned regarding the occurrence of adverse events.
Systems and methods for treating a patient for a medical condition using an interactive treatment pathway interface associated with the medical condition include receiving, through an interface, patient data representing a medical status of a patient. Treatment pathway data representing a sequence of actions for a particular treatment or diagnosis of a medical condition of the patient are retrieved. The interface guides the particular treatment or diagnosis of the medical condition by a traversal of the treatment pathway. A data trace is generated from additional patient data received during the traversal. The represents the instance of the particular treatment or diagnosis of the medical condition of the patient. The data are used to affect the particular treatment or diagnosis for the medical condition to the patient and inform machine learning operations for diagnosis or treatment of the medical condition.
PURPOSE:To obtain the subject new stable derivatives low in irritation to the skin, exhibiting long activity of covering properties, adhesion, a protecting effect, etc., to the skin or hairs and suitable for cosmetics use, etc., by reacting an abiethyl alcohol with a carboxylic acid. CONSTITUTION:An abiethyl alcohol (e.g. tetrahydroabiethyl alcohol) represented by formula R<1> OH (R<1> is groups of formulae I, II, etc.) is reacted with a carboxylic acid (e.g. 2-heptylundecanoic acid) expressed by formula R<2>COOH (R<2> is 7-25C hydrocarbon) in the presence of an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid in a solvent such as toluence while being heated and refluxed with stirring for 24hr. Generated water is distilled off and, after completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture is washed by using an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, etc. The solvent is distilled off under vacuum and the resultant residue is subsequently subjected to purification by silica gel chromatography, thus obtaining the objective ester derivative (e.g. tetrahydrobiethyl 2-heptylundecanate) represented by formula III.
