Pregnancy Category B

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Acetylcysteine Injection in pregnant women. However, limited case reports of pregnant women exposed to acetylcysteine during various trimesters did not report any adverse maternal, fetal or neonatal outcomes.

There are published reports on four pregnant women with acetaminophen toxicity, who were treated with oral or intravenous acetylcysteine at the time of delivery. Acetylcysteine crossed the placenta and was measurable following delivery in serum and cord blood of three viable infants and in cardiac blood of a fourth infant at autopsy (22 weeks gestational age who died 3 hours after birth). No adverse sequelae developed in the three viable infants. All mothers recovered and none of the infants had evidence of acetaminophen poisoning.

Reproduction studies were performed in rats at oral doses up to 2,000 mg/kg/day (1.1 times the recommended total human intravenous dose of 300 mg/kg based on body surface area comparison) and in rabbits at oral doses up to 1,000 mg/kg/day (1.1 times the recommended total human intravenous dose of 300 mg/kg based on body surface area comparison). No effects on fertility or harm to the fetus due to acetylcysteine were observed.
Immediately after surgical resection, each patient will be treated following the SOC, therefore with a local skin flap, rather than with a skin graft, based on surgeon assessment. Sutures, and moulage, if present, will be removed at 7 days and patient instructed to apply a daily silicone cream and sunscreen for 2 months.
The purpose of this work was to examine the effects of potassium poly-γ-glutamate (PGA-K) on mice fed a high-fat diet consisting of 60% of total calories for 12 weeks. PGA-K administration reduced the increase in body weight, epididymal fat, and liver weight caused by a high-fat diet compared to the obese group. The triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, which are blood lipid indicators, were significantly increased in the obese group but were significantly decreased in the PGA-K-treated group. The administration of PGA-K resulted in a significant inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6. Moreover, the levels of leptin and insulin, which are insulin resistance indicators, significantly increased in the obese group but were significantly decreased in the PGA-K-treated group. These results suggest that PGA-K exhibits a protective effect against obesity induced by a high-fat diet, underscoring its potential as a candidate for obesity treatment.
A digital pathology system comprising an AI processing module configured to invoke an instance of an AI processing application for processing image data from a histological image and an application module configured to invoke an instance of an application operable to perform an image processing task on a histological image associated with a patient record, wherein the image processing task includes an AI element. The application creates processing jobs to handle the AI elements of its task which are handled by the AI processing module. The AI processing module may be a CNN that processes a histological image to identify tumors by classifying image pixels into one of multiple tissue classes of tumorous or non-tumorous tissue. A test ordering module automatically determines based on identified tissue classes whether additional tests should be performed on the tissue sample. For each additional test, an order is automatically created and submitted. Advantageously, upon first review by a pathologist, the patient record includes the histological image and results from the automatically ordered additional tests.
Temozolomide will be given to patients orally every 5 days with 23 days interval. The initial dose is 150 mg/m2 on the first day and 200 mg/m2 for the rest if no toxicity is seen. If 200 mg/m2 is toxic, the drug will return to 150 mg/m2 or will be stopped.
The main complaint of patients who received a presbyopia correcting lens (regardless of the design) are visual disturbances such as glare, halos (rings around lights), starbursts (rays around light sources), mainly at night. The degree of limitation or how bothered patients are varies from patient to patient. To explain these symptoms different theories have been proposed including splitting the light into different focal points which decreases the intensity of the light reaching the retina. Most factors are common to all patients who received the lens; however, patients are not equally affected by these symptoms. Angle kappa has been considered a factor. Angle κ is the angle between the visual axis (straight line that passes through both the center of the pupil and the center of the fovea) and the pupillary axis (perpendicular line to the surface of the cornea that passes through the center of the pupil).
BACKGROUND: People from South Asian heritage are at high risk of type 2 diabetes, but there are limited specific strategies to prevent and manage this condition. The aim was to assess the effectiveness of culturally bespoke lifestyle programmes in South Asians that target weight loss for the prevention or remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention trials. PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), CINAHL, PsycINFO and CENTRAL were searched. Human intervention trials (randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental) investigating the effect of lifestyle interventions on the prevention and remission of T2DM in South Asians were included. Studies including participants at risk of T2DM (prevention trials) and having the disease (remission trials) with duration ≥12 weeks were eligible. For prevention trials, the primary outcome was change in weight (kg) from baseline; for remission trials, it was decrease in HbA1c to non-diabetic levels (HbA1c ≤ 6.5%) without diabetes medications. Prevention trials were separated into (i) lifestyle modification advice and (ii) lifestyle modification advice including a supervised physical activity programme.
RESULTS: Twenty-four trials were eligible (21 prevention trials and 3 remission trials). In T2DM prevention trials involving only lifestyle modification advice, the mean postintervention difference in weight between intervention and control groups was -0.65 kg (95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.04, -0.26; p = 0.01). Lifestyle modification advice including a physical activity programme was associated with greater decreases in weight: -1.13 kg (95% CI: -2.04, -0.21; p = 0.02). Fasting blood glucose levels were slightly lower in intervention groups for both intervention subtypes, although there was no significant change in HbA1c levels or 2-h plasma glucose levels. Diabetes remission trials showed potential acceptability but were limited in number and involved a small sample size, and some did not include a control group.
CONCLUSIONS: In South Asians, lifestyle interventions for prevention of T2DM offer only modest impacts on weight and glucose control and will unlikely reduce diabetes incidence. Alternative lifestyle interventions co-designed with members of the communities and aimed at both prevention and remission of T2DM must be urgently considered.

PURPOSE:To provide an Ni alloy for a cast denture base having a lower m.p. and slightly moderated strength and enabling casting with a gypsum filler by adding a specified amount of Co, Cr, Mo, W, Cu, Si and C to Ni. CONSTITUTION:This Ni alloy consists of 3-42% Co, 5-30% Cr, 2-18% Mo, 0-10% W, 0-10% Cu, 0.1-3% Si, 0.01-0.5% C and the balance Ni and inevitable impurities. By this composition the alloy has a significantly lowered m.p. to enable a gypsum filler to be used. Since the filler does not stick to castings of the alloy by burning, inferior goods are reduced. In addition, the alloy has superior characteristics such as small casting shrinkage and high grindability as a material for a denture base.
Pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in highly immunocompromised individuals such as patients with hematologic malignancies and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplant. These patients can be infected by a broad range of potential pathogens, including viral, bacterial, and fungal etiologies and sometimes with multiple pathogens simultaneously. Diagnostic testing often fails to identify a microbial etiology for lower respiratory illness even with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). In fact, culture methods, PCR, and antigen testing on BAL samples yields a positive result only 30-67% of the time. Additionally, Idiopathic Pulmonary Syndrome (IPS), a non-infectious pulmonary complication of transplant, can have many overlapping symptoms with infectious pneumonia. Treatment for IPS is administration of steroids which can exacerbate infections. Given these reasons, there is a need for better diagnostics to aid in the management of immunocompromised patients with pneumonia.

Karius has developed a microbial cell-free plasma next-generation sequencing test for pathogen detection capable of detecting \>1,000 organisms including DNA viruses, bacteria, yeasts, molds, and other eukaryotic pathogens. The test is performed in a CLIA-certified/CAP-accredited laboratory with results typically provided within one day from sample receipt. Given the need for a more sensitive diagnostic test for pneumonia in this population, we are evaluating the performance of the Karius Test for pathogen detection.
This invention provides for a mechanism to reverse the activated Ras induced malignant transformation of mammalian cells by use of certain peptides. Specifically, the anti-oncogenic protein fragments of the Neurofibromatosis type 1 protein (NF1) were found to reverse, inhibit, or otherwise interfere with the malignant transformation of V-HaRas induced transformed cells. The invention further identifies several specific fragments of the NF1 protein which are capable of reversing activated Ras induced transformation, including the NF338, NF91, NF78 and NF56 protein fragments. The invention also provides for nucleic acid molecules, cell lines, and expression vectors associated with the NF1 fragments, in addition to protein complexes of the NF1 and Ras proteins. A method for screening molecules which are capable of reversing activated Ras induced transformation is also disclosed herein. Further described herein are pharmaceutical compositions containing the NF1 protein fragment or the nucleic acid molecules coding for the protein fragments. Methods for treating conditions characterized by activated Ras induced malignant transformation with the compositions.

This project will take advantage of the recently developed Deep rTMS coil to target the insular cortex. Few studies have examined the possibility of using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for nicotine addiction and none so far have explored the use of a coil that specifically targets the insular region. The objective of this study is to test whether low and high-frequency rTMS of the insula modulates striatal dopamine (DA) release in healthy humans. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with \[11C\]-(+)-PHNO, a radiotracer which is very sensitive to fluctuations in DA transmission in the human brain, will be used to assess the impact of rTMS on dopamine levels. This project will yield the first data in humans linking the insula to the DA system in vivo. These findings could lead to the identification of optimal parameters for Deep rTMS to use secondarily in a proof of principle clinical study in smokers.

Embodiments are directed to improving performance criterion in a control session. Information associated with an agent may be obtained. A predicted expenditure may be generated based on the information and a performance model. The predicted expenditure may be transformed into specific-units amounts of multiple resource types based on the characteristics information. Each specific-units amount may be transformed into a normalized-units amount based on one or more normalized-units amounts of one or more other resource types. An instruction may be provided to the agent based on the normalized-units amounts. Metrics based on monitoring the agent may be obtained. One or more portions of the metrics may be compared to one or more outputs of the performance model. One or more outputs of the model may be modified based on the comparison to increase a correlation between one or more outputs and the metrics.
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is an extremely variable and heterogeneous syndrome that can be defined as an acute cardiopulmonary dysfunction requiring emergent artificial ventilation support. For patients with ARF, the mortality rate is higher than the general ICU mortality, with estimates ranging from 15-40% depending on the subgroups evaluated. In the largest, most recent report on ARF, the in-ICU mortality was 31% and the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 37%. Muscle weakness is an independent risk factor for mortality from ARF and contributes to long-term reductions in physical function in survivors. Muscle ultrasounds are non-invasive, quick and reproducible. They provide the opportunity of ICU staff to create a patient-specific exercise prescription based on both functional assessments and importantly the degree of muscle architecture abnormality detected by ultrasound. Serial examination of muscle ultrasound images obtained in mechanically ventilated acute respiratory failure patients will allow for better understanding of the time course of specific muscles' architectural abnormalities and the resolution of such abnormalities within hospital survivors. With this study, we will be better able to understand the relationships between the pattern of resolution of the muscle architectural abnormalities within the context of multiple other clinical abnormalities and therapies present and rendered to ICU patients. Muscle sampling used in conjunction with ultrasound in patients with ARF will allow for further characterization of the extent of and mechanisms underlying ARF induced muscle dysfunction in these patients. Furthermore, ultrasound guided muscle sampling allows this procedure to be done in a more efficient and effective manner. Study participants will consist of 30 patients with ARF admitted to the Intensive Care Units of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Muscle ultrasounds will occur at study enrollment and weekly thereafter, and will also include one imaging session as close to hospital discharge as possible. Muscle sampling will occur within 5 days of consent and approximately 2 months later. Handgrip strength, dynamometer, and physical performance tests will also be administered at ICU \& hospital discharge and at 2 months post enrollment. The primary outcome will be to investigate the possibility of a relationship between the ultrasound data, muscle sample data, and functional measurements (length of stay, grip strength, SPPB, dynamometer, MRC, simultaneously accounting for severity of illness \[APACHE III\]).

The invention discloses a preparation method for DHA algae oil nanoemulsion, and relates to DHA. The preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially adding DHA algae oil, a surfactant and water into a centrifugal tube; and carrying out ultrasonic treatment in an ultrasonic detector, thereby obtaining the DHA algae oil nanoemulsion. According to the preparation method, the dosage of the surfactant is relatively small, the preparation method is simple, the grain size being 100-130 nm is relatively small, and the stability is good, so that the sub-micro emulsion canmaskflavor of DHA, and can protect the DHA from being affected by bad factors in the environment, and therefore, oxidative products harmful on the human body are not generated, and bioavailability can be improved. By single factor and orthogonal experiment analysis, the preparation process for the DHA algae oil nanoemulsion is optimized. The prepared DHA algae oil nanoemulsion is less in dosage of the surfactant, is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, is not liable to be oxidizedafter being stored for a long time, and can be applied to a plurality of fields comprising biological medicines, food and cosmetics. The preparation process is simple and convenient, and the repeatability is high.
Using the most recent National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) data available from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as the sampling frame, 51 sites will be randomly selected to participate in the study. Site randomization to condition will occur on a rolling basis. Selected sites will be invited to participate in the study and randomly assigned to one of the three intervention conditions (17 sites per condition) -- information control, HIV PC, and HIV/HCV PC. The control condition will be an HIV testing informational product consisting of the official NIDA/SAMHSA Blending Initiative product, "HIV Rapid Testing in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs," ARTAS intervention information and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) information that will be provided to OTPs to educate and motivate them about the importance of offering on-site HIV testing and linkage to care. In the active PC conditions, champions and key OTP staff will be provided coaching and support for the implementation of an innovation (i.e., offering HIV testing on-site and linking persons living with HIV to care) and for sustaining resulting improvements in testing.

De-identified aggregate client data on HIV and HCV testing and linkage to care will be provided by the sites for four 6-month-long time intervals: T1 (up to 6 months prior to randomization), T2 (during the intervention/control period, up to 6 months post-randomziation), T3 (7-12 months post-randomization), and T4 (13-18 months post-randomization). Qualitative and quantitative site-level data will also be collected immediately preceding randomization and again during interval T3.

EPI-7386 is an investigational drug that works by blocking the androgen receptor at a different site compared to the approved androgen receptor blockers. This may increase the effectiveness of this drug and increase the effectiveness of approved androgen receptor blockers when taken together. EPI-7386 is a new drug; therefore, its effectiveness and safety in prostate cancer patients must be studied before it is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. EPI-7386 is experimental because it is not currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Enzalutamide is approved by the FDA for patients whose prostate cancers has spread after receiving treatment. The hypothesis is that adding EPI-7386 to standard hormone therapy will be more effective in treating cancer compared to usual treatment, with the long term goal of discovering more about hormone therapy as a treatment for cancer.
