This is a clinical study with the aim to investigate how breast cancer patient's quality of life changes after breast cancer surgery, as well as looking at the cosmetic outcomes for the same patient group. The study is conducted prospectively, with patients being included forward in time when they are diagnosed with breast cancer in Kristianstad hospital, Sweden. The study started in January 2019 and is expected to continue enrollment for two years, with the aim of recruiting 300 patients. The patients fill out a quality of life questionnaire (Breast-Q) at baseline, which is defined as time of diagnosis, and second Breast-Q questionnaire 1-year post surgery. Photos are also taken of the breasts both preoperatively and postoperatively and the photos are assessed by a computer program validated to assess cosmetic outcomes after breast cancer surgery, called BCCT.core, and secondly the cosmetic results of the breasts are evaluated by the surgeon and patient herself on a 10-grade scale. In addition study specific items covering for example psychiatric comorbidity, BMI and smoking are retrieved.

The study hypothesis is that patients undergoing breast cancer surgery overall have a good quality of life 1-year after their diagnosis, especially if they are treated with a surgical approach that takes into account both the best oncological treatment as well as the best surgical technique for cosmetic outcome, so called oncoplastic surgery. The other hypothesis is that cosmetic results will be overall favorable for the group of patients who are operated with breast-conserving techniques, and most favorable in those patients who have undergone oncoplastic surgery. Secondly the study aims to see if there are other patient related variables that affect the quality of life or cosmetic outcome, for example cytostatic treatment, a high body mass index, smoking or psychiatric history prior to diagnosis.

Antibiotics are widely used to treat bacterial infection and reduce the mortality rate, while antibiotic overuse can cause gut microbiota dysbiosis. The impact of antibiotics on gut microbiota is not fully understood. In our study, four commonly used antibiotics (ceftazidime, cefoperazone-sulbactam, imipenem-cilastatin, and moxifloxacin) were given subcutaneously to mice, and their impacts on the gut microbiota composition and serum cytokine levels were evaluated through 16S rRNA analysis and a multiplex immunoassay. Antibiotic treatment markedly reduced gut microbiota diversity and changed gut microbiota composition. Antibiotic treatment significantly increased and decreased the abundance of Firmicutes and Bacteroidota, respectively. The antibiotic treatments increased the abundance of opportunistic pathogens such as Enterococcus and decreased that of Lachnospiraceae and Muribaculaceae. For moxifloxacin, the significantly high abundance of Enterococcus and Klebsiella was observed after 14 and 21 days of treatment. However, a relatively low abundance of opportunistic pathogens was found after 14 days of imipenem-cilastatin treatment. Additionally, the serum levels of various pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-12 (p70), and IL-17, significantly increased after 21 days of antibiotic treatments. Overall, these results provide a guide for rational use of antibiotics in clinical settings: short-term use of moxifloxacin is recommended with regard to gut microbiota health, and the 14-day use of imipenem-cilastatin may have a less severe impact than other antibiotics.IMPORTANCEAntibiotic treatments are directly associated with changes in gut microbiota and are effective against both pathogens and beneficial bacteria. Gut microbiota dysbiosis induced by antibiotic treatment could increase the risk of some diseases. Therefore, an adequate understanding of gut microbiota changes after antibiotic use is crucial. In this study, we investigated the effects of continuous treatment with antibiotics on gut microbiota, serum cytokines, and intestinal inflammatory response. Our results suggest that short-term use of moxifloxacin is recommended, and the 14-day use of imipenem-cilastatin may have a less severe effect on gut microbiota health than cefoperazone-sulbactam. These results provide useful guidance on the rational use of antibiotics with regard to gut microbiota health.
Spinal epidural abscess is a rare but serious condition with poor outcomes. It's classic triad of new back pain, neurological deficit and fever is only present in 15% of cases at presentation and is initially misdiagnosed in 75-89%.6,7 Delaying treatment is associated with worse outcomes. Delirium is itself a risk factor for mortality but the disturbance in cognition and memory can also complicate clinical assessment.1-5 We present a case of delirium caused by, and obscuring, a spinal epidural abscess. This case highlights the difficulties in diagnosing spinal epidural abscesses, the need for a high index of suspicion for the condition and timely action to minimise morbidity. In addition, it demonstrates the value of treating unexplained delirium as an emergency and the danger of diagnostic premature closure. Finally, the importance of persistent clinical examination of the confused and non-cooperative patient.
The investigators want to understand more about why some of our kidney transplant patients find it difficult to take their anti-rejection medicines as intended. It is hoped that if the investigators can improve their understanding of why some patients struggle with their anti-rejection medicines, the investigators will be able to find better ways to help our transplant patients and so fewer patients may develop problems with their transplant. This study will collect qualitative data from a series of focus groups with kidney transplant recipients to explore their beliefs, understanding and experience of anti-rejection medication adherence. The focus groups will also explore the support that participants have received to help them with their medication adherence and what support they feel should be available to them and to others in the future to optimise anti-rejection medication adherence in transplant patients. Five focus groups will be undertaken. Each focus group will include six patients and will last for approximately 1.5 hours. All participants will be kidney transplant recipients transplanted and followed up at Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre.
Background Surgical wait list time is a major problem in many health-care systems and its influence on survival is unclear. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the wait list time on long term disease-free survival in patients scheduled for colorectal cancer resection.

Materials and Methods A prospective, single center study was carried out in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer scheduled for surgery between 2012-2017 at a Colorectal Surgery Unit of a tertiary care center. Wait list time was defined as the time from completion of diagnostic workup and definitive surgery and divided into 2-week intervals from 2 to 6 weeks. The outcome variables were 2- and 5-year disease free survival. Screening for disease progression was with carcinoembryonic antigen levels and chest/abdominal computed tomography scan. Data was collected prospectively and subsequently analyzed.
The present invention involves labeling monoclonal antibodies with intermediate half-life radionuclides which decay to much shorter half-life daughters with desirable high energy beta emissions. Since the daughter will be in equilibrium with the parent, it can exert an in-situ tumoricidal effect over a prolonged period in a localized fashion, essentially as an "in-vivo generator". This approach circumvents the inverse relationship between half-life and beta decay energy. Compartmental modeling was used to determine the relative distribution of dose from both parent and daughter nuclei in target and non-target tissues. Actual antibody biodistribution data have been used to fit realistic rate constants for a model containing tumor, blood, and non-tumor compartments. These rate constants were then used in a variety of simulations for two generator systems, Ba-128/Cs-128 (t 1/2  =2.4d/3.6m) and Pd-112/Ag-112 (t 1/2  =0.9d/192m). The results show that higher tumor/background dose ratios may be achievable by virtue of the rapid excretion of a chemically different daughter during the uptake and clearance phases. This modeling also quantitatively demonstrates the favorable impact on activity distribution of a faster monoclonal antibody tumor uptake, especially when the antibody is labeled with a radionuclide with a comparable half-life.
A transgenic non-human mammal whose germ cells and somatic cells contain the sequence of the PVLT antigen under the direct control of a non-polyoma virus promoter sequence preferably an inducible promoter sequence. This fusion gene is introduced into the non-human mammal or an ancestor thereof at an embryonic state. The resulting non-human mammal is characterized by an enhanced propensity towards the development of cardiomyopathy. Also within the scope of the present invention is a method for inducing cardiomyopathy in a non-human mammal. This method comprises introducing into a non-human mammal or an ancestor thereof at an embryonic stage, a fusion gene comprising the above-mentioned sequence to produce transformed embryos. The surviving transformed embryos are implanted into pseudopregnant females and the resulting progeny is screened for the presence of transgenes.
Recent studies have proved Phyllanthus Urinaria - Adenosmatis Glutinosum - Eclipta Prostrata - Ascorbic Acid combination plus Tenofovir in treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis B. Method the combination of drugs derived from natural and artificial medicaments. To made a clean jobs for HBV - DNA in the patient's body - hope this is a new step of medicine, will no longer exist phrase "chronic HBV infection " Methods of safety, therapeutic effect on expected cost savings should easily apply to everyone everywhere in the world. According to the investigation and must be called , Chronic HBV infection is an important worldwide cause of morbidity, mortality and source of potential new infections. There are an estimated 350 million carriers of HBV in the world. In China, Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, as many as 10-15% of the population are chronically infected. In North America and Northern Europe, infection and carrier rates are much lower, usually below 1%. Intermediate carrier rates of 1-5% are found in Southern Europe (e.g., Italy, Greece and Spain), parts of South and Central America, the Middle East and Japan. Persistent infection develops in over 90% of perinatally infected children and in 3-10% of people who become infected after the age of 6 years. Worldwide, it has been estimated that more than one million people die annually due to HBV-related end stage diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

The goal of antiviral therapy for hepatitis B is to reduce a patient's risks for progressive liver disease through prolonged suppression and eradication of HBV infection and to arrest or ameliorate HBV-related liver damage.
Intratumour heterogeneity has been shown to play a role in the malignant progression of cancer. The clonal evolution in primary cancer has been well studied, however, that in metastatic tumorigenesis is not fully understood. In this study, we established human colon cancer-derived organoids and investigated clonal dynamics during liver metastasis development by tracking barcode-labelled subclones. Long-term subclone co-cultures showed clonal drift, with a single subclone becoming dominant in the cell population. Interestingly, the selected subclones were not always the same, suggesting that clonal selection was not based on cell intrinsic properties. Furthermore, liver tumours developed by co-transplantation of organoid subclones into the immunodeficient mouse spleen showed a progressive drastic reduction in clonal diversity, and only one or two subclones predominated in the majority of large metastatic tumours. Importantly, selections were not limited to particular subclones but appeared to be random. A trend towards a reduction in clonal diversity was also found in liver metastases of multiple colour-labelled organoids of mouse intestinal tumours. Based on these results, we propose a novel mechanism of metastasis development, i.e. a subclone population of the disseminated tumour cells in the liver is selected by neutral selection during colonization and constitutes large metastatic tumours.

For seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff: Wet skin and apply to areas to be cleansed. Massage gently into the skin working into a full lather. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Generally, two applications each week for two weeks will control symptoms. Subsequently, shampoo may be used less frequently or as directed by a physician. It should not be applied more frequently than necessary to maintain control. 

For tinea versicolor: Wet skin and apply to areas to be cleansed. Massage gently into the skin working into a full lather. Allow product to remain on skin for ten minutes, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Repeat procedure once a day for seven days or as directed by a physician.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined as a progressive neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. The therapeutic effect of ω-3 PUFAs in several neurodegenerative diseases has been well recognized. Nevertheless, whether nutrition supplementing ω-3 PUFAs exerts a neuroprotective role in PD remains elusive. Bioinformatics revealed 2D chemical structural formula of three components. Mice received indicated treatment with saline, MPTP or ω-3 PUFAs according to grouping. Behavioral function of mice was measured through motor tests such as rearing, akinesia, and rotarod tests. OFT test measured anxiety-like behaviors of mice. Western blotting and TUNEL staining measured dopaminergic fibers and neurons of mice. Western blotting measured inflammation and apoptosis-related protein levels in mouse tissue. FACS measured iTreg cell proportion in colon and brain tissues of mice. ω-3 PUFAs repaired MPTP-stimulated motor function damage in PD mice. ω-3 PUFAs mitigated MPTP-stimulated comorbid anxiety in PD mice. ω-3 PUFAs relieved MPTP-stimulated deficits of dopaminergic fibers and neurons in PD mice. ω-3 PUFAs repressed MPTP-stimulated inflammation and apoptosis pathway activation in PD mice. ω-3 PUFAs repaired MPTP-stimulated immune function damage in PD mice. ω-3 PUFAs exert a protective role in PD mice through alleviating motor function impairment and neuroinflammation by increasing intestinal inducible Treg cells, which may provide a new direction for seeking targeted therapy plans for PD in humans.

In this review focused on lymphoma and the central nervous system (CNS), we summarize recent developments in the management of primary (PCNSL) and secondary CNS lymphoma (SCNSL), treatment of CNS lymphoma in the older population, the neuroradiological assessment of CNS lymphoma and finally highlight the ongoing debate on optimal CNS prophylaxis. The section on PCNSL focuses on the different approaches available for frontline treatment in Europe and the United States and discusses consolidation strategies. We then highlight available strategies to treat PCNSL in the elderly population, an area of unmet need. New therapies aiming at minimizing toxicity and prioritizing quality of life are emerging for these patients. Secondary CNS lymphoma, especially in the relapsed/refractory setting is another area of unmet need, and the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy is being explored. We provide an overview of the imaging challenges in the neuroradiological assessment of CNS lymphoma. Finally, the section on CNS prophylaxis summarizes recent findings from large retrospective studies challenging the efficacy of present approaches to prophylaxis in higher-risk patients with lymphoma.
The patients were randomized to 2 groups. The first group performed conventional Valsava before balloon assisted Valsava. The second group performed balloon assisted Valsava before conventional Valsava for venous reflux examination by duplex scan.

The volume of PRP will be used upon the discretion of the provider for treatment of the cosmetic facial deformity but will be in equal amounts for each side on every patient participating in the study.
Caregivers of the participants in the intervention arm will collect monthly fecal samples while the child is healthy and right before an antibiotic treatment which has been prescribed by the pediatrician for a non-gastrointestinal condition. One day after the last dose of antibiotics, the caregiver will collect another fecal sample and then the child will orally drink 2 ounces of the autologous fecal matter transplant inoculum prepared by the research team by mixing the child's own most recent sample prior to falling ill and mixed with milk. The caregivers then continue collecting samples once a week for a month followed by once a month for five months.
Background and Objective: This study aimed to identify the incidence of sarcopenia and disease risk factors in Korean adults and to provide data for sarcopenia prevention. Materials and Methods: Based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2008-2011, we selected 14,185 adults over the age of 20 who participated in sarcopenia diagnostic tests and health surveys. We analyzed sarcopenia risk factors using complex sample multi-logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of sarcopenia in Korea was 31.3%, with 20.2% in men and 40.4% in women. In men, there was a higher risk of sarcopenia in those of older age, without a spouse, with a low body mass index (BMI), who never engage in resistance exercise, or who do mid-level intensity resistance exercises. In women, sarcopenia risk was higher in those in their 20s compared to those in their 60s, and risk factors included a low BMI, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and waist circumference measurements, alcohol consumption, aerobic exercise, and resistance exercise. Conclusions: Interventions and lifestyle improvements will help prevent the onset of sarcopenia in elderly men and young women with risk factors such as a low BMI.
Women in the music group will be informed about the procedure steps before intrauterine device (IUD) application and pre-test data will be collected. After the pre-test data is collected, the music list prepared by the women and researchers will be shown and the women will be asked to choose a piece. Women who do not want to listen to any music on this list will be allowed to listen to the music they prefer. The music concert will be performed with headphones, and women will be asked to listen to the music until the IUD application process is completed. Post-test data will be collected within 10 minutes after IUD application.
BACKGROUND: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure commonly used to treat a number of severe psychiatric disorders, including pharmacologic refractory depression, mania, and catatonia by purposefully inducing a generalized seizure that results in significant hemodynamic changes as a result of an initial transient parasympathetic response that is followed by a marked sympathetic response from a surge in catecholamine release. While the physiologic response of ECT on classic hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure has been described in the literature, real-time visualization of cardiac function using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) during ECT has never been reported. This study utilizes POCUS to examine cardiac function in two patients with different ages and cardiovascular risk profiles undergoing ECT.
METHODS: Two patients, a 74-year-old male with significant cardiovascular risks and a 23-year-old female with no significant cardiovascular risks presenting for ECT treatment, were included in this study. A portable ultrasound device was used to obtain apical four-chamber images of the heart before ECT stimulation, after seizure induction, and 2 min after seizure resolution to assess qualitative cardiac function. Two physicians with expertise in echocardiography reviewed the studies. Hemodynamic parameters, ECT settings, and seizure duration were recorded.
RESULTS: Cardiac standstill was observed in both patients during ECT stimulation. The 74-year-old patient with a significant cardiovascular risk profile exhibited a transient decline in cardiac function during ECT, while the 23-year-old patient showed no substantial worsening of cardiac function. These findings suggest that age and pre-existing cardiovascular conditions may influence the cardiac response to ECT. Other potential contributing factors to the cardiac effects of ECT include the parasympathetic and sympathetic responses, medication regimen, and seizure duration with ECT. This study also demonstrates the feasibility of using portable POCUS for real-time cardiac monitoring during ECT.
CONCLUSION: This study reports for the first time cardiac standstill during ECT stimulation visualized using POCUS imaging. In addition, it reports on the potential differential impact of ECT on cardiac function based on patient-specific factors such as age and cardiovascular risks that may have implications for ECT and perioperative anesthetic management and optimization.
