Carcinogenesis: Desvenlafaxine succinate administered by oral gavage to mice and rats for 2 years did not increase the incidence of tumors in either study. 

Mice received desvenlafaxine succinate at dosages up to 500/300 mg/kg/day (dosage lowered after 45 weeks of dosing). The AUC exposure at 300 mg/kg/day dose is estimated at 10 times the AUC exposure at an adult human dose of 100 mg per day.

Rats received desvenlafaxine succinate at dosages up to 300 mg/kg/day (males) or 500 mg/kg/day (females). The AUC exposure at the highest dose is estimated at 11 (males) or 26 (females) times the AUC exposure at an adult human dose of 100 mg per day.

Mutagenesis: Desvenlafaxine was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial mutation assay (Ames test) and was not clastogenic in an in vitro chromosome aberration assay in cultured CHO cells, an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay, or an in vivo chromosome aberration assay in rats. Additionally, desvenlafaxine was not genotoxic in the in vitro CHO mammalian cell forward mutation assay and was negative in the in vitro BALB/c-3T3 mouse embryo cell transformation assay. 

Impairment of Fertility: When desvenlafaxine succinate was administered orally to male and female rats, fertility was reduced at the high dose of 300 mg/kg/day, which is 10 (males) and 19 (females) times the AUC exposure at an adult human dose of 100 mg per day. There was no effect on fertility at 100 mg/kg/day, which is 3 (males) or 5 (females) times the AUC exposure at an adult human dose of 100 mg per day. These studies did not address reversibility of the effect on fertility. The relevance of these findings to humans is not known.
Placebo capsules. 4 g/day encapsulated high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) for 8 weeks. The participants will be instructed to take the capsules with the breakfast and dinner meals.
The complete nucleotide sequence of a proviral molecular clone of the lymphadenopathy-associated virus, LAV, was ascertained. Recombinant phage clones were isolated from a genomic library of LAV-infected human T-lymphocyte DNA. The insert of recombinant phase  lambda J19 was sequenced according to the dideoxy chain termination method. In addition to the retroviral structural genes gag, pol, and env, a novel open reading frame (ORF) was identified in the 3' region of the viral genome and designated ORF-R. The ORF-R coding region, which has subsequently been renamed nef, encodes a 206 amino acid protein that slightly overlaps the 3' end of the env gene and the 5' portion of the U3 region of the viral long terminal repeat (LTR). Nucleic acids encoding this protein and the precise amino acid sequence of the Nef are disclosed in this application. These products are useful for the generation of immunological reagents to facilitate the detection of LAV.
All women with mainly uterine prolapse stage II or greater as defined by the POP-Q staging system receiving TVM or LSC mesh suspension surgeries at a tertiary referral center in Taiwan were included. The investigators excluded women with a hypertrophic uterus, huge fibroids, history of cervical dysplasia or endometrial pathology, history of postmenopausal bleeding in the past 12 months, and those unwilling to preserve their uterus. Concomitant mid-urethral sling operations were performed in women with current urodynamic stress incontinence unless the participants did not prefer a concomitant surgery. Cervical amputation was performed if the corpus/cervix ratio was less than 1 on the ultrasound. Concomitant anterior and posterior colporrhaphy were performed as needs.

The clinical evaluations consisted of a detailed history before and 6 months after surgery, including urinary analysis, pelvic examination using POP-Q system, urodynamic studies (UDS), transabdominal ultrasound, and personal interview to identify urinary and sexual symptoms with the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), the short forms of Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire, and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (POPDI-6). Urinary symptoms with the standardized questionnaire taking into account the 2002 ICS definitions. The participants were asked to fill out the visual analog scale (VAS) scores during the postoperative day 1 round. Urodynamic studies, including non-instrumented uroflowmetry, filling and voiding cystometry, and urethral pressure profilometry, were performed according to the recommendations by the International Continence Society with a 6-channel urodynamic monitor (MMS; UD2000, Enschede, Netherlands). Any uninhibited detrusor contraction during filling cystometry was deemed positive for detrusor overactivity (DO).

As a follow-up, postoperative outpatient visits were at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months and then semiannually beyond one year. Pelvic examination was performed routinely in every visit to clinics. Recurrence was defined as the most dependent portion of POP stage II or greater. The Clavien-Dindo grading was used for the classification of the intraoperative and postoperative complications of Long mesh surgery.
Patients received oral L-arginine aspartate (Yuria-Pharm, Ukraine) at a dose of 1 g t.i.d. for 10 days after conventional periodontal therapy, n=25.
This study aimed on pediatric patients aged 4-12 years, undergoing elective strabismus surgery. Informed consent was obtained from both parents and children on the day of pre-anesthetic evaluation visit. The child and his or her parents were questioned on preoperative patient's sleep quality based on Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Surgery was performed under the same anesthesia as usual. After the operation, extubation was performed and patient was moved to post anesthesia recovery room (PACU). During the stay in PACU, one investigator measured degree of ED by Watcha and PAED (Post anesthesia emergence delirium ) scale to minimize bias. One day after the surgery, the investigator mede a phone call to the parents of the patient to obtain information for postoperative PSQI.
It will consist of planned 50 children and adults aged 6 and older who, as part of their standard care, happen to be beginning a behavioral intervention within 2 weeks after the baseline visit of the study. This intervention can be an applied behavior analysis (ABA) program or similar or a social skills program or a school-based autism program and must be intended to last at least throughout the duration of the study.
Alcohol use especially high-risk drinking remains a serious public health concern. Recent calls for "precision intervention" require more in-depth understanding of drinking behavioral patterns for more individualized treatment. Currently, alcohol research has relied on self-reported questionnaire or biomarkers to measure alcohol use. However, self-reports are often subjected to social desirability bias or recall errors; whereas biomarkers are prone to measurement errors, confounders for false positives, and individual variations in alcohol metabolism. There is need for an objective, reliable, and nonintrusive way to measure alcohol use with high ecological validity.

Topography can provide objective measures of consumption behavior patterns in fine grained detail. While it has been widely used in tobacco research, alcohol topography has not been well-studied. Smoking topography has been shown to provide indicative information for nicotine dependence. The investigators hypothesize that alcohol topography can also be used as an objective measure indicative of alcohol use disorder. In this project, the investigators propose to conduct a video-assisted drinking topographical study. The main objectives of this study include: (1) characterize drinking behavioral patterns by converting videotaped drinking episodes into various drinking related parameters (e.g., sipping frequency, sipping interval, sipping duration, rest duration, sipping amount, and etc.); (2) compare drinking behavioral patterns across groups defined by drinking status (social vs. heavy drinkers) and mental health status (depressed vs. non-depressed); and (3) use advanced nonlinear modeling to quantify the behavioral pattern and to derive potential indicators for alcohol use disorder.

This will be the first study to ever use videotaped topography to analyze alcohol drinking behavioral pattern using a quantum model and link it to alcohol use disorder. The study will be conducted in the simulated bar laboratory located in Yon Hall at the University of Florida (UF). Conducting alcohol topography in such a setting greatly enhances ecological validity, further increasing the capacity of this method to capture real life drinking patterns and to potentially detect alcohol use disorder.

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain is associated with substantial personal suffering and societal costs and is a growing healthcare concern worldwide. While chronic pain has been extensively studied in adults, limited data exists on its prevalence and impact in adolescents. Understanding the prevalence and impact of chronic pain and pain beliefs in adolescents is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. This study aims to estimate the prevalence, characteristics, and impact of chronic pain, and explore adolescents' knowledge and beliefs about pain.
METHODS: This is an observational cohort study of school-going adolescents aged 11 to 17 years in Central Switzerland. The study will estimate the point prevalence, characteristics (location, intensity, frequency, duration) and impact (PROMIS Pediatric Short Form v2.0 -Pain Interference Scale, PPIS) of chronic pain in school-going adolescents. We will also measure and investigate pupils' beliefs about pain (Concept of Pain Inventory (COPI)). Data will be collected through manual and digital self-report questionnaires and from participants in primary, secondary, and high schools between September 2023 and January 2024.
ANALYSES: The primary analyses will utilise descriptive statistics to estimate the point prevalence, characteristics, and impact of chronic pain. Secondary analyses will analyse associations and correlations between chronic pain, impact of pain and beliefs about pain.
OUTCOMES: This study will provide an estimate of the prevalence, characteristics and impact of chronic pain in adolescents in Central Switzerland and a measure of adolescents' understanding and beliefs about pain. In doing so, this study will provide insights into the scale of chronic pain as a public health concern. By understanding adolescents' pain beliefs and their influence on pain experience, this study can contribute to the development of educational approaches to enhance adolescents' knowledge and understanding of pain in order to optimise the prevention and treatment of chronic pain in adolescents. The findings may be useful to healthcare professionals and funders, policymakers, and researchers involved in the prevention, assessment, and treatment of pain in adolescents.
Thanks to medical advances, life expectancy is increasing. With it comes an increased incidence of diseases, of which age is a risk factor. Stroke is among these diseases, and is one of the causes of long-term disability. The opportunity to treat these patients is via rehabilitation. A promising new technology that can enhance rehabilitation is virtual reality (VR). However, this technology is not widely used by elderly patients, and, moreover, the elderly often do not use modern technology at all. It therefore becomes a legitimate question whether elderly people will be able to use virtual reality in rehabilitation. This article presents a rehabilitation application dedicated to patients with upper limb paresis and unilateral spatial neglect (USN). The application was tested on a group of 60 individuals including 30 post-stroke patients with an average age of 72.83 years. The results of the conducted study include a self-assessment by the patients, the physiotherapist's evaluation, as well as the patients' performance of the exercise in VR. The study showed that elderly post-stroke patients are able to use virtual reality applications, but the ability to correctly and fully perform an exercise in VR depends on several factors. One of them is the ability to make logical contact (p = 0.0001 < 0.05). However, the study presented here shows that the ability to use VR applications does not depend on age but on mental and physical condition, which gives hope that virtual reality applications can be used in post-stroke rehabilitation among patients of all ages.
Rhizoctonia solani is a fungal pathogen that causes significant losses in agricultural production. Because of its rapid transmission and broad host range, the exploration of genes involved in defense responses to the infection of R. solani has become an important task. Here, we performed a time-course RNA-Seq experiment to explore crucial genes or pathways involved in host responses to R. solani AG3-TB infection at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post inoculation (hpi). GO and KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that most DEGs were enriched in the basal metabolism pathways, including carbohydrate metabolic processes and the biosynthesis of amino acids. Moreover, catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were up-regulated, and transcription factors (TFs) such as WRKY, AP2, and MYB were increased significantly compared to the control (0 hpi). Silencing of WRKY70 and catalase-3 exhibited elevated susceptibility to the fungal infection. To summarize, the TFs WRKY70 and WRKY75, genes involved in jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and brassinosteroids (BR) signaling pathways, and defense-related enzymes may play crucial roles in the host responses to R. solani AG3-TB infection.
Natamycin is a tetraene polyene antibiotic derived from Streptomyces natalensis. It possesses in vitro activity against a variety of yeast and filamentous fungi, including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium and Penicillium. The mechanism of action appears to be through binding of the molecule to the sterol moiety of the fungal cell membrane. The polyenesterol complex alters the permeability of the membrane to produce depletion of essential cellular constituents. Although the activity against fungi is dose-related, natamycin is predominantly fungicidal. Natamycin is not effective in vitro against gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria. Topical administration appears to produce effective concentrations of natamycin within the corneal stroma but not in intraocular fluid. Systemic absorption should not be expected following topical administration of NATACYN™ (natamycin ophthalmic suspension) 5%. As with other polyene antibiotics, absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is very poor. Studies in rabbits receiving topical natamycin revealed no measurable compound in the aqueous humor or sera, but the sensitivity of the measurement was no greater than 2 mg/mL.
The diagnosis of prediabetes was also confirmed through the patients' medical records. Patients with FPG 100-125 mg/dl or 75g oral glucose tolerance test: second hour plasma glucose 140-199 mg/dl and HbA1c values 5.7-6.4% was included in the prediabetes group.
Patients without chronic headache but with an history of headache \< 6 months. Vitamin D supplementation (from 400 iU/day up to 1600 IU/day) will be administered.
BACKGROUND: Autoimmune diseases affect 5-10% of the global population and cause chronic pain and impaired functionality. Chronic pain management involves pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, with non-pharmacological options gaining attention as safe, effective, and cost-effective alternatives. However, further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of these therapies in African patients with autoimmune diseases, as existing evidence varies.
METHODS: This review protocol has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, CRD42023449896). Electronic databases (PubMed, Africa Index Medicus, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) will be used for searching published articles. The study will use R for data synthesis, employing a random-effects meta-analysis approach to calculate pooled effect sizes, assess heterogeneity using the I2 statistic, and evaluate publication bias. In conclusion, this protocol aims to fill the knowledge gap on non-pharmacological therapies for chronic pain in patients with autoimmune diseases in Africa. It will potentially enhance evidence-based decision-making to improve pain management and, hence, the quality of life of people with autoimmune diseases in Africa.
Familial forms of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) are caused by loss-of-function mutations in genes encoding perforin as well as those required for release of perforin-containing cytotoxic granule constituent. Perforin is expressed by subsets of CD8+ T cells and NK cells, representing lymphocytes that share mechanism of target cell killing yet display distinct modes of target cell recognition. Here, we highlight recent findings concerning the genetics of familial HLH that implicate CD8+ T cells in the pathogenesis of HLH and discuss mechanistic insights from animal models as well as patients that reveal how CD8+ T cells may contribute to or drive disease, at least in part through release of IFN-γ. Intriguingly, CD8+ T cells and NK cells may act differentially in severe hyperinflammatory diseases such as HLH. We also discuss how CD8+ T cells may promote or drive pathology in other cytokine release syndromes (CSS). Moreover, we review the molecular mechanisms underpinning CD8+ T cell-mediated lymphocyte cytotoxicity, key to the development of familial HLH. Together, recent insights to the pathophysiology of CSS in general and HLH in particular are providing promising new therapeutic targets.
Acute ischemic stroke is one of the diseases associated with stroke onset time, especially in the case of large vessel occlusion within 6 hours. This is the reason why endovascular reperfusion therapy (mechanical thrombectomy, angioplasty, stent,...) is recommended to be performed as soon as possible in the comprehensive stroke centers. The successful recanalization within 6 hours demonstrated the efficacy that helps to improve the functional outcome by trials. Besides, the strategies shortening time from admission to successful recanalization are essential for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Nevertheless, the optimizing door-to-groin puncture and door to recanalization Time are the great challenge to benefit most patients with the endovascular therapy. In recent years, the One - stop management (direct transport to the angiosuite workflow) which means that the recanalization therapy is considered to perform immediately based on the diagnostic angiograms and perfusion maps relating to acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion by the ﬂat-detector computed tomography at the angiosuite at the same time. We hypothesized that one-stop management is feasible and reduces more intrahospital time delays than our standard workflow previously published.
Clinical and pathological factors are insufficient to accurately identify patients at risk of early recurrence after curative-intent treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). This study aimed to identify candidate prognostic proteogenomic biomarkers for early intrahepatic recurrence after curative-intent resection of CRLM. Patients diagnosed with intrahepatic recurrence within 6 months of liver resection were categorized as the "early recurrence" group, while those who achieved a recurrence-free status for 10 years were designated as "durable remission". Comprehensive genomic and proteomic profiling of fresh frozen samples from these prognostically distinct groups was performed using the TruSight Oncology 500 assay and label-free data-dependent acquisition liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Genetic alterations were identified in 117 of the 523 profiled genes in patients with early recurrence. The most common somatic mutations linked to early recurrence were TP53 (88%), APC (71%), KRAS (38%), and SMAD4 (21%). SMAD4 alterations were absent in samples from patients with a durable remission. Calponin-2, versican core protein, glutathione peroxidase 3, fibulin-5, and amyloid-β precursor protein were upregulated more than 2-fold in early recurrence. Exploratory analysis of these proteogenomic biomarkers suggests that SMAD4, calponin-2, and glutathione peroxidase 3 may have the potential to predict early recurrence, enabling improved prognostication and precision oncology in CRLM.
Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a leading cause of disability and work-days lost worldwide. Yet, in most cases we do not know the specific cause. It is thought to be due to abnormal movement between the spinal bones (vertebrae). The investigators can now measure movement between vertebrae using low-dose quantitative fluoroscopy (QF), or motion x-ray videos. QF is a reliable method of measuring spinal movement which is non-invasive and does not expose the patient to a lot of radiation. In this study, QF will be used as a measuring tool to measure spinal movement in patients with acute NSLBP before manual therapy versus after manual therapy to explore if there is a change in spinal movement. Research suggests that some patients respond to manual therapy and some do not, a secondary question in this study is to explore if there are differences in spinal movement between those who respond to manual therapy (measured using pain and disability questionnaires) and those who do not.

This study is a feasibility study to determine whether the study can be carried out as a full-scale trial. Participants will be recruited from the AECC University College (AECC UC) Clinic. Following an examination, patients with acute low back pain, and who are eligible for the study will be invited to join. Participants will proceed with initial measurements which include validated questionnaires and QF. Following these measurements participants will be randomised into two groups, each containing 15 participants. Both groups will receive an evidence-informed home management booklet, the manual therapy group will receive five manual therapy treatments in two weeks. Participants will return for follow-up measurements two weeks after baseline measurements.
Methods for diagnosing chronic diarrhea and other gastrointestinal conditions. In the methods, a sample of gastrointestinal secretions is obtained from a control group; or a group who has been diagnosed with either healthy gastrointestinal tracts or with a gastrointestinal condition, like chronic diarrhea. The control group samples are analyzed in any suitable manner to determine the levels of gastrointestinal secretions, including one or more autophagy-related proteins, cytokeratins, digestive enzymes, or other proteins. The results of the sample analysis are used to create a database containing profiles of normal and abnormal gastrointestinal secretions. As the database is created and specific secretion level abnormalities are identified, patients may be diagnosed with these abnormalities and be treated by adjusting the levels of specific secretions. Gastrointestinal samples from subsequent patients may be analyzed and compared with the database to determine which of the patients' secretion levels, if any, are abnormal.
