There are studies in the literature to investigate physical activity and nutrition in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This project will be a multidisciplinary and comprehensive study conducted on children with ASD and their parents with the participation of a physiotherapist and dietitian in Turkey. It will contribute to the literature as it is a randomized controlled study that evaluates primary school age (6-11) children with autism from a multidisciplinary perspective in terms of physiotherapy and nutrition and provides physical activity and nutrition education to the family. In this study, there are two groups: telerehabilitation group and control group; There are 4 participant types: telerehabilitation parent, telerehabilitation child, control parent, control child. The surveys for both groups are in the form of pre-test and post-test. Quality of life, activity participation and recreational activity levels of children with autism will be measured. In line with these measurements, recreational activities that will guide telerehabilitation parent participants in ASD will be explained and consultancy will be given on their implementation. For all participating parents; Quality of life, functional status and stress levels will be evaluated. As a result of these evaluations, breathing, resistance and posture exercises and walking training will be given and the effectiveness of these trainings will be evaluated. In this training, the current approach, telerehabilitation, will be used. Telerehabilitation is a cost-effective, easy-to-access alternative to traditional treatment options.

In the literature, attention is drawn to nutritional problems such as food rejection, food selectivity, and obesity in children with ASD. Adequate and balanced nutrition is very important for children's mental and physical health, growth and development. For this purpose, it was aimed to raise awareness of the participants about nutrition. In the study, the nutritional status, food consumption frequency and food selectivity/rejection of children with ASD will be determined. Anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, upper middle arm circumference (UMAC), and body mass index (BMI) will be taken and evaluated according to the children's age and gender. The nutritional knowledge level of all participating parents will be measured at the beginning, and the knowledge level at the end of the study will be determined by providing nutrition education during the study.

The training will be given simultaneously, using technological devices, and the training will be transferred as a video later so that parents can easily access it.
The present invention generally relates to receiving bodily fluid through a device opening. In one aspect, the device includes a flow activator arranged to cause fluid to be released from a subject. A deployment actuator may actuate the flow activator in a deployment direction, which may in turn cause fluid release from a subject. The flow activator may also be moved in a retraction direction by a retraction actuator. In one aspect, the device may include a vacuum source that may help facilitate fluid flow into the opening of the device and/or may help facilitate fluid flow from the opening to a storage chamber. In one aspect, a device actuator may enable fluid communication between the opening and the vacuum source and the flow activator may be actuated after the enablement of fluid communication.
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, which is endemic in certain areas of Europe, such as southern Spain. The disease manifests in various clinical phenotypes, including visceral, cutaneous, mucosal, or asymptomatic leishmaniasis. This diversity in clinical outcomes may be influenced by the host immune response, with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules playing a crucial role in determining susceptibility and progression of the infection. This study explores the association between specific HLA variants and Leishmania infantum infection. We recruited four cohorts: a control group, asymptomatic individuals, patients with symptomatic disease, and cohabitants of infected individuals. HLA typing was performed for all participants, followed by an association analysis with infection status and disease progression. Our findings indicate that the HLA-B*38 and HLA-C*03 alleles are associated with protection against L. infantum infection. These results contribute to a better understanding of the disease's progression, offer potential for new therapeutic approaches such as vaccines, and expand the existing knowledge in the literature.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject therapeutic drug which can excert inhibitory effects on the formation of fibrous condensate and the apoptosis and is useful in the treatment of spinal and medullary muscular atrophy, Huntington chorea or the like by using a compound having transgulutaminase inhibitory activity. SOLUTION: This therapeutic drug includes a compound A (e.g. cystamine or monodansyl cadaverine) showing inhibitory activity to transglutaminase as an active ingredient. The therapeutic drug is obtained by pharmaceutical manufacturing using a substrate or a medium, e.g. a physiological saline, a sterilized water, a vegetable oil, an emulsifying agent, a suspending agent, a stabilizer or the like, and is administrated to patients of CAG repeat expansion disease, e.g. dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy(DRPLA), Machado Joseph disease or the like, by means of intraarterial administration, intravenous administration, subcutaneous administration or the like.
Five modules were designed as a discussion with patients and caregivers about various PD symptoms: module I-brain and motor symptoms; module II-autonomic symptoms; module III- psychological symptoms; module IV-brain and cognition; and module V-cognitive impairments in PD. Patients were handed the information book about the five modules at the beginning of the study. The objective was to improve their understanding of their condition and to discuss other components that could affect their cognitive abilities. After the 40-60-minute informative part, mindfulness exercises were offered for 20-30 minutes per session. Participants were not invited to practice exercises between sessions, but 3/6 participants reported they did.
In elderly and debilitated patients it is recommended that dosage be limited to the smallest effective amount to preclude the development of ataxia, oversedation, confusion or anticholinergic effects.

Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of chlordiazepoxide and amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets, 74 individuals were 65 years and older. An additional 34 subjects were between 60 and 69 years of age. No overall differences in safety and effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

The active ingredients in chlordiazepoxide and amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets are known to be substantially excreted by the kidney and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection and it may be useful to monitor renal function.

Sedating drugs may cause confusion and over-sedation in the elderly; elderly patients generally should be started on low doses of chlordiazepoxide and amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets and observed closely.

Clinical studies of chlordiazepoxide and amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity predisposes to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Adipose tissue inflammation and systemic inflammation contribute to these complications. There are strong sex differences in adipose tissue distribution and in systemic inflammation. Women have more subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and less visceral adipose tissue (VAT) than men. We explored the sex differences in the association between the different adipose compartments and inflammatory markers that are important in cardiometabolic disease pathophysiology.
METHODS: Single-center observational cohort study with 302 individuals with a BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2. We were unable to acquire MRI data from seven individuals and from another 18 the MRI data were not usable, resulting in 277 people (155 men, 122 women), aged 55-81 years.
INTERVENTION: We performed the following measurements: abdominal magnetic resonance imaging to measure VAT, and SAT (deep and superficial) volumes; circulating leukocyte counts and cytokine production capacity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), circulating cytokines, adipokines, and targeted proteomics; abdominal sSAT biopsies for histology and gene expression.
RESULTS: Only in women, (s)SAT volume was associated with circulating leukocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils. Circulating IL-6 and IL-18BP were associated with SAT volume in women and VAT in men. Several circulating proteins, including monocyte-colony-stimulating factor 1 and hepatocyte growth factor, are associated with sSAT in women and VAT in men. Only in women, SAT volume is associated with SAT expression of inflammatory proteins, including leptin, CD68, TNFα and IL-1α.
CONCLUSION: In women living with obesity, abdominal SAT volume, especially sSAT, is associated with circulating leukocytes and inflammatory proteins. In men, these parameters mainly show associations with VAT volume. This could be because only in women, sSAT volume is associated with sSAT expression of inflammatory proteins. These findings underscore that future research on adipose tissue in relation to cardiometabolic and cardiovascular disease should take sex differences into account.
OBJECTIVE: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is an archetypal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, for which novel treatments are emerging. Diagnostic criteria for LGS have recently been defined by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE). We aimed to apply these criteria in a real-world setting.
METHODS: We applied ILAE diagnostic criteria to a cohort of patients diagnosed with LGS by epileptologists following inpatient video-EEG monitoring (VEM) at tertiary comprehensive epilepsy centers between 1995 and 2015. We also assessed mortality in this cohort.
RESULTS: Sixty patients diagnosed with LGS and had complete records available for review were identified. Among them, 29 (48%) patients met ILAE diagnostic criteria for LGS (ILAE-DC group). Thirty-one did not meet criteria (non-ILAE-DC) due to the absence of documented tonic seizures (n = 7), EEG features (n = 12), or both tonic seizures and EEG features (n = 10), intellectual disability (n = 1), or drug resistance (n = 1). The ILAE-DC group had a shorter duration of epilepsy at VEM than the non-ILAE-DC group (median = 12.0 years vs. 23.7 years, respectively; p = 0.015). The proportions of patients with multiple seizure types (100% vs. 96.7%), ≤2.5 Hz slow spike-and-wave EEG activity (100% vs. 90%), seizure-related injuries (27.6% vs. 25.8%), and mortality (standardized mortality ratio 4.60 vs. 5.12) were similar between the groups.
SIGNIFICANCE: Up to 52% of patients diagnosed with LGS following VEM may not meet recently accepted ILAE criteria for LGS diagnosis. This may reflect both the limitations of retrospective medical record review and a historical tendency of applying the LGS diagnosis to a broad spectrum of severe, early-onset drug-resistant epilepsies with drop attacks. The ILAE criteria allow the delineation of LGS based on distinct electroclinical features, potentiating accurate diagnosis, prognostication, and management formulation. Nonetheless, mortality outcomes between those who did and did not meet ILAE diagnostic criteria for LGS were similarly poor, and both groups suffered high rates of seizure-related injury.
PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: More than half of patients diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) at three Australian epilepsy monitoring units between 1995 and 2015 did not meet the recently devised International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) diagnostic criteria for LGS. Mortality was equally high in those who did and did not meet the ILAE diagnostic criteria, and seizure-related injury was common. The ILAE diagnostic criteria will guide accurate diagnosis, management, prognostication, and research in patients with LGS, however may be limited in their practical application to patients with a longer duration of epilepsy, or to those for whom detailed assessment is difficult.

The efficacy and safety of GELNIQUE were evaluated in a single randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group 12-week study for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge incontinence, urgency and frequency. Key entry criteria included adults with symptomatic overactive bladder with an average of ≥ 4 incontinence episodes in a 3-day period and at least 8 micturitions per day. Patients were randomized to daily applications of GELNIQUE 1 gram or matching placebo gel. A total of 389 patients received GELNIQUE and 400 patients received placebo gel. The majority of patients were Caucasian (86.3%) and female (89.2%), with a mean age of 59.4 years (range: 18 to 88 years). The average duration of urinary incontinence was approximately 8.5 years and approximately 75% of patients had no prior pharmacological treatment for urinary incontinence.

Patients treated with GELNIQUE experienced a statistically significant decrease in the number of urinary incontinence episodes per day from baseline to endpoint (the primary efficacy endpoint) compared with placebo (p<0.0001) as well as a decrease in the average daily urinary frequency (p=0.0017) and an increase in the average urine volume per void (p=0.0018).

Mean and median change from baseline in daily incontinence episodes (primary endpoint), urinary frequency, and urinary void volume (secondary endpoints) between placebo and GELNIQUE are summarized in Table 3.
OBJECTIVE: Fatigue is identified as one of the most prevalent and persistent problems reported by people with post COVID-19 condition that negatively impacts on everyday living and resumption of pre-COVID-19 lifestyle. A pilot occupational therapy fatigue management intervention was designed for patients presenting with post COVID-19 condition fatigue.
DESIGN: A retrospective analysis was carried out after the delivery of the fatigue management intervention. Self-reported measures of fatigue, well-being, and health status were taken at baseline and repeated at 2 wks after intervention. Baseline and postintervention scores were compared using nonparametric analysis.
RESULTS: Sixty participants (73% female), median age 50.5 yrs (range, 17-74), 93% reporting symptoms persisting for 12 wks or longer, completed the fatigue management intervention. All participants reported moderate to severe fatigue impacting on everyday activity at baseline. The greatest impact of fatigue was on engagement in leisure and work activity. Statistically significant improvement in fatigue ( P < 0.001), well-being ( P < 0.001), and health status ( P < 0.001) were noted after the intervention.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate the potential of occupational therapy fatigue management interventions to enable self-management strategies and reduce the negative impact of fatigue among people with post COVID-19 condition.
Adult (≥18 year old) female handball players completed a supervised shoulder injury prevention program twice a week (2 x 15 minutes) for a duration of 8 weeks. The shoulder injury prevention training consists of three tracks focusing on 1) external rotator cuff strength; 2) scapula stability; 3) core strength and trunk rotation. The training is integrated in the players/team's normal handball practice.
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is a widely used resource that comprehensively organizes and defines the phenotypic features of human disease, enabling computational inference and supporting genomic and phenotypic analyses through semantic similarity and machine learning algorithms. The HPO has widespread applications in clinical diagnostics and translational research, including genomic diagnostics, gene-disease discovery, and cohort analytics. In recent years, groups around the world have developed translations of the HPO from English to other languages, and the HPO browser has been internationalized, allowing users to view HPO term labels and in many cases synonyms and definitions in ten languages in addition to English. Since our last report, a total of 2239 new HPO terms and 49235 new HPO annotations were developed, many in collaboration with external groups in the fields of psychiatry, arthrogryposis, immunology and cardiology. The Medical Action Ontology (MAxO) is a new effort to model treatments and other measures taken for clinical management. Finally, the HPO consortium is contributing to efforts to integrate the HPO and the GA4GH Phenopacket Schema into electronic health records (EHRs) with the goal of more standardized and computable integration of rare disease data in EHRs.
The treating physician, PI or study coordinator will inform eligible MBC patients about the study via a letter (Appendix B) during or prior to their regular clinic visits in a waiting area. Prior to the survey administration, study coordinator will obtain all necessary signatures on the ICF from interested study participants in the private clinic room or infusion area. The survey (Appendix A) will consist of 37 survey questions, which should take patients less than 30 minutes to complete during their regularly scheduled clinic visit. Study participants will have the option of taking incomplete surveys home, completing, and mailing it back to us using stamped, self-addressed envelopes provided during their clinic visit. All consented participants will also be given the option to complete the survey over the phone with a study coordinator. Participants will be requested to provide their preferable times and days for a phone call with a coordinator. The study coordinator will call the patient and administer the same survey that would be given during a clinic visit. If participants prefer completing the survey in the clinic a research coordinator will remain in the room and will verbally facilitate the completion of the survey. Participants will be compensated in the form of merchandise at the time they agree to participate (the photo of sample merchandise is attached). Surveys will be collected by the study coordinator and stored in secure, locked rooms at the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center, where the study coordinators will double-key enter de-identified survey responses into an encrypted, password protected, electronic database.
Inflammation is implicated in the etiology of obesity-related diseases. Thromboxane-prostanoid receptor (TPR) is known to play a role in mediating an inflammatory response in a variety of cells. Gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a TLR4 agonist, is elevated in obesity. Moreover, free fatty acids (FFAs) are important mediators of obesity-related inflammation. However, the role and mechanisms by which TPR regulates the inflammatory response in human immune cells remain unclear. We sought to determine the link between TPR and obesity and the role/mechanisms by which TPR alters LPS- or stearic acid (SA)-induced inflammatory responses in PBMCs. Cells were pre-treated with agents blocking TPR signaling, followed by treatment with LPS or stearic acid (SA). Our findings showed that TPR mRNA levels are higher in PBMCs from individuals with obesity. Blockade of TPR as well as ROCK, which acts downstream of TPR, attenuated LPS- and/or SA-induced pro-inflammatory responses. On the other hand, TPR activation using its agonist enhanced the pro-inflammatory effects of LPS and/or SA. Of note, the TPR agonist by itself elicits an inflammatory response, which was attenuated by blocking TPR or ROCK. Our data suggest that TPR plays a key role in promoting an inflammatory response in human PBMCs, and this effect is mediated via TLR4 and/or ROCK signaling.
