Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic disorder of perceived unsteadiness. Symptoms can be exacerbated in visually complex stationary or moving environment. Visual dependence and increased motion sensitivity are predictors for PPPD but its pathophysiology remains unknown. We hypothesized an abnormal sensory-perceptual scaling mechanism in PPPD and tested visual- and vestibular perceptional thresholds in 32 patients and 28 age-matched healthy control subjects (HC). All participants showed normal vestibular function tests on quantitative testing. Visual motion coherence thresholds were assessed by random dot kinetomatograms. Vestibular perceptional thresholds of egomotion were assessed by binaural galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) and passive chair rotation around an earth-vertical axis. Chair rotation trials were contrasted with no-motion (sham) stimulus trials. Mean thresholds of visual motion perception were higher in patients compared to HC. The perception threshold of GVS was lower in patients but the threshold of correctly perceived egomotion during chair rotation did not differ. Interestingly, the number of trials with correct perception in the no-motion condition increased with the threshold of correct responses for rotatory egomotion in patients. Unlike expected, PPPD patients required more coherently moving random dots than HC to perceive visual motion. A poorer complex visual motion recognition, e.g., traffic visual stimuli, may increase anxiety and levels of uncertainty as visuomotor reactions might occur delayed. The vestibular rotatory perception threshold predicted the probability of making false assignments in the sham condition in PPPD, i.e., patients who readily recognize the correct egomotion direction are prone to perceive egomotion in the no-motion condition. As this relation was not found in healthy subjects, it may reflect an abnormal sensory-perceptual scaling feature of PPPD.

A composition and method of arresting the flow of blood and other protein containing body fluids flowing from an open wound and for promoting wound healing. In the method, a substantially anhydrous compound of a salt ferrate is provided for a unique use which will hydrate in the presence of blood and body fluid to produce Fe+++ thereby promoting clotting when applied to the wound for a time sufficient to arrest substantial further blood and other body fluid flow from the wound. The compound is formed of a salt taken from the group consisting of H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr. However, to decrease or eliminate stinging sensation, the compound may be formed having a salt taken from the group consisting of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Al, As, NH4 and N(C4H9)4. The preferred composition also includes a cation exchange material such as sulfonated ion exchange resin as an admixture which will hydrate in the presence of blood and other body fluids to produce Fe+++ thereby promoting clotting of the blood and body fluid and to produce oxygen. The cation exchange material produces a scab or protective coating over the wound for protection and enhanced healing. Oxygen produced during the reaction substantially reduces the level of bacteria, virus and fungus at the wound.

Multiple sclerosis is a pro-inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The etiology of MS is complex and poorly understood. Both genetic and environmental factors play a role and recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota is one of the key environmental factors. Gut microbiota is increasingly being seen an important environmental risk factor for multiple sclerosis, and strategies to correct an imbalance in intestinal flora.The first study, "Multiple sclerosis patients have a distinct gut microbiota compared to healthy controls," published in Scientific Reports, found that people with relapsing-remitting MS have altered fecal microbiota and may have microbial dysbiosis. People with MS had reduced levels of a protein called aryl hydrocarbon receptor circulating in their blood.Aryl hydrocarbon receptor is involved in many biological processes, including inflammation. The researchers found that gut microbiota play a role in turning tryptophan, and amino acid found in food, into Aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonists, which act on cells of the nervous system called astrocytes and limit inflammation of the central nervous system. Low levels of Aryl hydrocarbon receptor in multiple sclerosis patients may explain how microbial dysbiosis could be causing the condition.Increased constipation and fecal incontinence and increased gut permeability in multiple sclerosis patients, and increased occurrence of inflammatory bowel diseases in MS patients and their families suggest an important gut-central nevus system connection.Interestingly, gut bacteria can also influence the blood brain barrier integrity. These studiesimplicate that gut microbiota may potentially be operational in predisposition to or modification of the disease course of multiple sclerosis.
Darunavir is metabolized by CYP3A. Cobicistat is metabolized by CYP3A and, to a minor extent, by CYP2D6. Co-administration of drugs that induce CYP3A activity are expected to increase the clearance of darunavir and cobicistat, resulting in lowered plasma concentrations which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance. Co-administration of SYMTUZA with other drugs that inhibit CYP3A may result in increased plasma concentrations of darunavir and cobicistat (see Table 4). 

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a substrate of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3. Drugs that strongly affect P-gp activity may lead to changes in TAF absorption. Drugs that induce P-gp activity are expected to decrease the absorption of TAF, resulting in decreased plasma concentrations of TAF, which may lead to loss of therapeutic effect of SYMTUZA and development of resistance. Co-administration of SYMTUZA with other drugs that inhibit P-gp may increase the absorption and plasma concentrations of TAF (see Table 4).
As the first study of a fully interactive Internet intervention for reducing AEP risk, the proposed project is a significant extension of the growing literature on Internet interventions to reduce problem drinking, which established their feasibility and acceptability, with evidence of efficacy especially in the university drinking setting. Most brief online interventions for problem drinking have incorporated self-assessment and tailored normative feedback, and some offer cognitive behavioral exercises. Only one web-based intervention to date targeted AEP risk. In that study, a static Internet presentation of AEP risk reduction intervention materials was compared to the same intervention delivered by mail in a quasi-experimental design. The web delivered and mailed versions of this self-guided change intervention significantly reduced AEP risk. The proposed intervention will build on this study as well as existing alcohol Internet intervention findings and extend the focus to a new population with a new goal (AEP prevention) by targeting both drinking AND ineffective contraception. It will also incorporate significant enhancements compared to the static web-based self-guided change intervention for AEP by adding dynamic, interactive, and feedback elements that mirror the interaction in successful face-to-face interventions.
OBJECTIVE: Vascular graft and endograft infections (VGEIs) are complicated by high morbidity, mortality, and recurrence rates, notably due to biofilm formation on the graft surface, hardly dislodgeable by the sole anti-infectious treatment. The characteristics of this biofilm are still poorly documented. The aim of this study was to evaluate ex vivo biofilm on removed infected vascular grafts and endografts (VGEs).
METHODS: Explanted VGEs were prospectively collected from 2019 to 2022 at Bordeaux University Hospital, France. Two samples per graft were used for scanning electron microscopy imaging; one was sonicated, and both grafts' sides were imaged.
RESULTS: A total of 26 patients were included, 18 with VGEI, eight without any infection (endoleak and/or thrombosis), and 29 VGEs were collected. Microbial documentation was obtained in 83% of VGEIs. A thick layer of fibrin was visible on almost all grafts, mixed with a dense biofilm matrix on infected grafts visible as early as 1 month after the onset of infection. Bacteria were not always visualized on infected grafts' surface (80% on outer side and 85% on luminal side) but were surprisingly present on one-third of non-infected grafts. There was no significant difference between biofilm, fibrin, and microorganisms' distribution between the two grafts' sides. However, there were clear differences between infected and non-infected grafts, since immune cells, bacteria and biofilm were more frequently visualized on both sides of infected grafts (P < .05). Bacteria and immune cells although still visible, were significantly less present after sonication; the number of other elements including biofilm was not significantly different.
CONCLUSIONS: The persistence of a thick layer of fibrin and biofilm embedding microorganisms on both sides of infected VGE even after 1 month of infection could be the explanation for the low success rates of conservative management and the usual need for graft removal to treat VGEIs.
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition and anemia are 2 severe public health concerns, predominantly in low-and middle-income nations. Malnutrition is defined as poor nutritional condition that encompasses both under nutrition and over nutrition. The prevalence of overweight or obesity and anemia has increased in India from 2016 to 2021. The study aims to investigate the spatial clustering and factors responsible for underweight, overweight/obesity, and anemia among reproductive women (15-49 years) in India using the data from National Family and Health Survey-5 (2019-2021).
METHODS: We conducted hot-spot analysis using Moran's Index (MI) with the help of spatial analysis software (i.e., GeoDa 1.18 and ArcGIS 10.8). It also demonstrates the autocorrelation. Multivariable logistic regression analysis has been performed to examine different determinants and risk associated with underweight, overweight/obesity, and anemia with various dependent variable by using Stata-14 software.
RESULTS: Moran's Index for underweight (MI = 0.68), overweight/obesity (MI = 0.72), and anemia (MI = 0.62) indicates a high level of spatial-autocorrelation (P < .001) exists across the districts in India. As a result, a total of 156, 143, and 126 hot-spot districts are detected for underweight, overweight/obesity, and anemia, respectively. The burden of undernutrition and anemia is higher in rural areas. Risk of under nutrition and anemia are both reduced by media exposure and eating habits. Moreover, low income and low education level raises the risk of anemia and undernutrition, while obesity shows an inverse trend with income and education level.
CONCLUSION: The study recommends targeting hot-spot districts for malnutrition and anemia, and policy level initiatives by addressing the responsible risk factors.
There has been a recent push to focus sleep research less on disordered sleep and more on the dimensional sleep health. Sleep health incorporates several dimensions of sleep: chronotype, efficiency, daytime alertness, duration, regularity, and satisfaction with sleep. A previous study demonstrated sleep health domains correlate only moderately with each other at the genomic level (|rGs| = 0.11-0.51) and show unique relationships with psychiatric domains (controlling for shared variances, duration, alertness, and non-insomnia independently related to a factor for internalizing psychopathology). Of the domains assessed, circadian preference was the least genetically correlated with all other facets of sleep health. This pattern is important because it suggests sleep health should be considered a multifaceted construct rather than a unitary construct. Prior genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have vastly increased our knowledge of the biological underpinnings of specific sleep traits but have only focused on univariate analyses. We present the first multivariate GWAS of sleep and circadian health (multivariate circadian preference, efficiency, and alertness factors, and three single-indicator factors of insomnia, duration, and regularity) using genomic structural equation modeling. We replicated loci found in prior sleep GWASs, but also discovered "novel" loci for each factor and found little evidence for genomic heterogeneity. While we saw overlapping genomic enrichment in subcortical brain regions and shared associations with external traits, much of the genetic architecture (loci, mapped genes, and enriched pathways) was diverse among sleep domains. These results confirm sleep health as a family of correlated but genetically distinct domains, which has important health implications.
CEA operations are generally performed on elderly patients and patients with different comorbidities. These patients have carotid artery stenosis and often thrombus. 85% of all stroke cases are due to ischemic causes, and 15-30% of them are due to carotid artery stenosis. The treatment method is usually surgery. CEA operations. Early detection of cerebral hypoperfusion and ischemia during the operation is important. Carotid clamp applications, which must be used during the operation upon the decision of the surgical team, may cause cerebral hypoperfusion. In addition, the resulting systemic hypotension further worsens this situation. In order to prevent cerebral hypoperfusion, carotid shunt applications can be performed to ensure flow continuity, and at the same time, cerebral hypoperfusion is tried to be prevented by keeping the mean arterial pressure high. Close monitoring of these cases and follow-up of cerebral perfusion adequacy is important to detect ischemia and embolism events that may develop especially during these periods. ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and Bispectral index (BIS) are routinely used in monitoring. In addition, it is reported in the literature that there are changes in ONCH, which can be easily evaluated with USG, in cases such as ischemic stroke and increased intracranial pressure, an increasing trend occurs and shows an excellent correlation with invasive intracranial pressure monitoring. ONSD has been associated with increases in intracranial pressure. In these patients in whom a carotid clamp is placed, an increase in intracranial pressure due to ischemia and cerebral hypoperfusion and a corresponding increase in ONSD may be observed. In this context, in our study, in addition to routine monitoring methods, we measured the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (OSCN), which can be examined practically with the help of ultrasonography (USG), which we use in our daily practice in the operating room, and does not require any additional cost and labor, and thus, we measured the parameters such as cerebral ischemia and increased intracranial pressure that may develop in the intraoperative period. We planned to investigate its contribution to the prediction of neurological problems and its relationship with other follow-up parameters. Measurement of ONSC with USG is a very simple, noninvasive and non-harmful method.
Low vision and blindness are increasing public health issues impacting individuals' quality of life. During clinical low-vision services, vision rehabilitation is crucial for enhancing daily living skills and improving life quality. Low-vision and rehabilitation (LVR) services encompass comprehensive measures that aid visually disabled individuals in restoring function, autonomy, and social participation. Such holistic management requires a multidisciplinary approach, facilitating adaptation to environmental and sociocultural changes. However, the lack of awareness about the principles and practices of LVR services poses a major hindrance to setting up such a special clinic in the eye hospital. This article is about a consensus statement on the guidelines for establishing LVR services focusing on basic requirements, especially in low-resource countries. The present recommendation to set up an LVR clinic was made after group discussions and debates among various experts and stakeholders during the National Workshop on Strengthening Low-Vision and Rehabilitation Services organized at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. The event was participated by many ophthalmologists and optometrists coming from across the country. The recommendations required at the tertiary level are outlined under the four headings: Human resources and training: two ophthalmologists, that is, a low vision specialist or a well-experienced in low vision and one who has received one-week orientation and training, one optometrist, one rehabilitation supervisor, and two rehabilitation assistants; Assessment equipment: basic screening and diagnostic; Assistive devices for low vision, including, digital and non-digital; Assistive devices for rehabilitation, and methods for records maintenance. The institution may not follow strictly the present guidelines but will provide an idea on LVR services initiation.
High hyperdiploid karyotype with ≥ 49 chromosomes (which will be referred to as HHK) is rare in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The European leukemia network (ELN) excluded those harboring only numerical changes (with ≥ 3 chromosome gains) from CK and listed them in the intermediate risk group, while the UK National Cancer Research Institute Adult Leukaemia Working Group classification defined ≥ 4 unrelated chromosome abnormalities as the cutoff for a poorer prognosis. Controversies occurred among studies on the clinical outcome of HHK AML, and their molecular characteristics remained unstudied. We identified 1.31% (133/10,131) HHK cases within our center, among which 48 cases only had numerical changes (NUM), 42 had ELN defined adverse abnormalities (ADV) and 43 had other structural abnormalities (STR). Our study demonstrated that: (1) No statistical significance for overall survival (OS) was observed among three cytogenetic subgroups (NUM, STR and ADV) and HHK AML should be assigned to the adverse cytogenetic risk group. (2) The OS was significantly worse in HHK AML with ≥ 51 chromosomes compared with those with 49-50 chromosomes. (3) The clinical characteristics were similar between NUM and STR group compared to ADV group. The former two groups had higher white blood cell counts and blasts, lower platelet counts, and mutations associated with signaling, while the ADV group exhibited older age, higher chromosome counts, higher percentage of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) history, and a dominant TP53 mutation.
