Probiotics are defined as "live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." Most probiotics are lactic acid producing bacteria that are endogenous to the human GI (gastrointestinal) tract and are commonly utilized in the fermentation of food products, such as yogurt. Disturbances in the composition of the bacterial flora of the GI tract are associated with diarrhea and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and consumption of some strains of probiotic bacteria are very effective for treating diarrhea and possibly individuals with ulcerative colitis (UC). We will test the effects of 3 strains of probiotic bacteria on UC. In addition to standard medical care for UC, participants will consume a dietary supplement of 3 probiotic bacteria (Kyo-Dophilus; Lacobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifidobacterium longum) for 6 weeks. Changes in clinical symptoms and physiological markers of systemic and GI inflammation in subjects with UC will be assessed. Significant effects of the probiotics will be determined by comparing pre- and post-probiotic treatment measures for disease severity and level of inflammation and by comparing the probiotic treated group with the placebo treated control group. Any placebo effect on UC will also be assessed.

Forty subjects with ulcerative colitis will be recruited for the study and be provided a dietary supplement (5x109 bacteria/capsule, twice a day) for 6 weeks to 1/2 of the subjects and 1/2 of the UC subjects will be given a placebo control (potato starch). Standard medical care and therapies will be continued throughout the study. Initially, the physician will complete the Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Index (UCDAI) and the participants will complete the Shortened Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ), and biopsies collected for histopathological assessment and analysis of inflammatory cytokine production (mRNA). Also, 30 ml of venous blood will be collected from each subject for analysis of serum/plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the probiotic or placebo group (blinded to the physicians). After consuming the dietary supplement or placebo for 6 weeks, subjects will complete the SIBDQ questionnaire, the physician complete the UCDAI, be examined by sigmoidoscopy and tissue biopsies and blood samples collected. Also, during the 6 weeks of treatment, subjects will maintain a daily diary of their bowel habits. Data analysis will determine whether, relative to placebo controls, consumption of probiotics reduces the symptoms and levels of intestinal inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis.

SOLUTION: This objective skin lotion is obtained by including an essence of e.g. a solvent extract from a processed material produced by subjecting the whole body or part (pref. fruits) of the plant of the family Sterculiaceae (e.g. Kuriora, Forasutero, or Cacaokino of Karabasiro each belonging to the genus Teoburoma) to dehydration, cutting and crushing or from the plant body (pref. the essence is an oleophilic component other than fatty acid ester obtained by adding a solvent to the plant or its processed material, extracting the soluble component and removing the fatty acid ester component via column chromatography, etc.), in the ratio of pref. 0.01 to 20 wt.%, more pref. 0.05 to 15 wt.%.
The risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in patients on hemodialysis is higher than in general population. Higher levels of serum phosphate are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, especially in the setting of overt hyperphosphatemia. Given the biological importance of serum phosphorus, it is conceivable that also within the normal range values the higher serum phosphate levels may be associated with the worst outcome. Several paper have shown that vascular calcifications in dialysis patients are associated with increased relative risk of death; it has also been demonstrated in uremic patients that vascular calcifications decrease arterial elasticity. We previously observed that vascular calcification directly correlate with QT interval (QTc) as well as QT dispersion (QTd) in dialysis. Also, QT correction (obtained by the correction of phosphoremia and dyslipidemia) can ameliorate the development of arrhythmia and sudden death. Aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between vascular calcifications and both QTd increase and mortality in incident hemodialysis patients, and to investigate the efficacy of sevelamer to reduce vascular calcifications and QTd.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Accurately diagnosing biliary strictures is crucial for surgical decisions, and although peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) aids in visual diagnosis, diagnosing malignancies or determining lesion margins via this route remains challenging. Indigo carmine is commonly used to evaluate lesions during GI endoscopy. We aimed to establish the utility of virtual indigo carmine chromoendoscopy (VICI) converted from POCS images using artificial intelligence.
METHODS: This single-center, retrospective study analyzed 40 patients with biliary strictures who underwent POCS using white-light imaging (WLI) and narrow-band imaging (NBI). A cycle-consistent adversarial network was used to convert the WLI into VICI of POCS images. Three experienced endoscopists evaluated WLI, NBI, and VICI via POCS in all patients. The primary outcome was the visualization quality of surface structures, surface microvessels, and lesion margins. The secondary outcome was diagnostic accuracy.
RESULTS: VICI showed superior visualization of the surface structures and lesion margins compared with WLI (P < .001) and NBI (P < .001). The diagnostic accuracies were 72.5%, 87.5%, and 90.0% in WLI alone, WLI and VICI simultaneously, and WLI and NBI simultaneously, respectively. WLI and VICI simultaneously tended to result in higher accuracy than WLI alone (P = .083), and the results were not significantly different from WLI and NBI simultaneously (P = .65).
CONCLUSIONS: VICI in POCS proved valuable for visualizing surface structures and lesion margins and contributed to higher diagnostic accuracy comparable to NBI. In addition to NBI, VICI may be a novel supportive modality for POCS.
In open label run-in phase (period 1), patients started with ramipril 2.5 mg or 5.0 mg capsule once daily (o.d) depending on previous treatment with RAAS blockers and up-titrated to ramipril 10 mg capsule o.d by end of period 1. In double blind phase (Period 2), patients received aliskiren (150 mg once daily) up titrated to 300 mg once daily after 1 week of treatment following a clinical safety patient assessment at the study site and matching placebo of ramipril capsules.
Patients undergo TBI BID on days -10 to -7, and receive thiotepa IV over 3 hours on days -6 and -5, fludarabine IV over 30 to 60 minutes on days -6 to -2, tacrolimus (or cyclosporine or sirolimus if toxicities occur) IV continuously starting on day -1, CD34+ enriched CD45RA-depleted donor T-lymphocytes IV on day 0, and methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11. If there is no evidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD on or prior to day 50, tacrolimus (or cyclosporine or sirolimus) is tapered per month for capsules (or per week for liquid). Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, ECHO or MUGA scan, and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
A medical report creating apparatus in which a link corresponding range is specified for any of strings arranged in an observation column in a medical report display screen. Then, a drag operation is input which specifies any of contents being displayed on a monitor. When a dragged display icon is dropped onto a link corresponding range displayed portion of a medical report creation screen to specify the string, address information on the content is acquired. The address information on the referenced content is then pasted to the string. At the same time, the string in the link corresponding range has its color changed and is underlined for identification. After the report has been completed, a file is saved and the series of operations are finished. Then, the file is transferred to, for example, an image interpretation report requester.
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend placing an implantable cardiac defibrillator for patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and a severely impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≤35%. In this study, we determined the association between mild or moderate LVEF impairment and fatal ventricular arrhythmic event (FVAE).
METHODS AND RESULTS: We retrospectively analyzed 401 patients with cardiac sarcoidosis without sustained ventricular arrhythmia at diagnosis. The primary end point was an FVAE, defined as the combined endpoint of documented ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. Two cutoff points for LVEF were used: a sex-specific lower threshold of normal range of LVEF (52% for men and 54% for women) and an LVEF of 35%, which is used in the current guidelines. During a median follow-up of 3.2 years, 58 FVAEs were observed, and the 5- and 10-year estimated incidences of FVAEs were 16.8% and 23.0%, respectively. All patients were classified into 3 groups according to LVEF: impaired LVEF group, mild to moderate impairment of LVEF group, and maintained LVEF group. Multivariable competing risk analysis showed that both the impaired LVEF group (hazard ratio [HR], 3.24 [95% CI, 1.49-7.04]) and the mild to moderate impairment of LVEF group (HR, 2.16 [95% CI, 1.04-4.46]) were associated with a higher incidence of FVAEs than the maintained LVEF group after adjustment for covariates.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with cardiac sarcoidosis are at a high risk of FVAEs, regardless of documented ventricular arrhythmia at the time of diagnosis. In patients with cardiac sarcoidosis, mild to moderate impairment of LVEF is associated with FVAEs.
BACKGROUND: Evidence on how menstrual characteristics may differ based on socioeconomic factors and self-rated health is significantly scarce. The main aim of this study was to investigate the associations between menstrual characteristics, sociodemographic factors and self-rated health among women and people who menstruate (PWM) aged 18-55 in Spain.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study includes data from an online survey collected in March-July 2021 across Spain. Descriptive statistical analyses and multivariate logistic regression models were performed.
RESULTS: The analyses included a total of 19,358 women and PWM. Mean age at menarche was 12.4 (SD = 1.5). While 20.3% of our participants experienced a menstrual abundance over 80 ml, 64.1% reported having menstrual blood clots; 6.4% menstruated for longer than 7 days. 17.0% had menstrual cycles that were shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days. Reports of moderate (46.3%) and high (22.7%) intensity menstrual pain were common. 68.2% of our participants experienced premenstrual symptoms in all or most cycles. The odds for lighter menstrual flow, shorter bleeding days and menstrual cycles were higher as age increased, and amongst participants with less educational attainment. Caregivers presented higher odds for abundant menstrual flow and longer menstruations. Reporting financial constraints and a poorer self-rated health were risk factors for abundant menstrual flow, menstrual blood clots, shorter/longer menstruations and menstrual cycles, premenstrual symptoms, moderate and intense menstrual pain.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that age, educational attainment, caregiving, experiencing financial hardship and a poorer self-rated health may shape or mediate menstrual characteristics. It thus highlights the need to investigate and address social inequities of health in menstrual research.

Each subject will complete 5 test visits each involving the administration of CVL-562 (PF-06412562) (at different doses) or placebo. Subjects will be randomized to the order of doses of CVL-562 (PF-06412562) (1 mg, 4 mg, 15 mg, or 25 mg) or placebo for the next 5 visits. The randomization will assign 75% of patients to the highest dose on the last visit and 25% would receive the highest dose on one of the other four visits. Only the highest dose (25 mg) will be subject to this pseudo-randomization strategy; all other doses will be randomly distributed.
XENPOZYME may be associated with elevated transaminases (ALT, AST, or both) within 24 to 48 hours after infusion. Elevated transaminase levels were reported in 4 (13%) XENPOZYME-treated adults and 1 (13%) XENPOZYME-treated pediatric patient during the dose escalation phase in clinical trials. At the time of the next scheduled infusion, these elevated transaminase levels generally returned to levels observed prior to the XENPOZYME infusion [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

To manage the risk of elevated transaminase levels, assess ALT and AST within one month prior to initiation of XENPOZYME, within 72 hours prior to any infusion during dose escalation, which includes the first 3 mg/kg dose outlined in Tables 1 and 2, or prior to the next scheduled XENPOZYME infusion upon resuming treatment following a missed dose.

If either the baseline or pre-infusion transaminase level (during the dose escalation phase) is >2 times the ULN, repeat transaminase levels within 72 hours after the end of the infusion. If the pre-infusion transaminase levels are elevated above baseline and >2 times the ULN prior to the next scheduled administration, the XENPOZYME dose can be reduced (repeat prior lower dose or reduce the dose) or XENPOZYME can be temporarily withheld until the liver transaminases return to the patient's baseline value.

Upon reaching the recommended maintenance dose, transaminase testing is recommended to be continued as part of routine clinical management of ASMD.
BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity is associated with negative results and poses difficulties in clinical management. New methodological approaches are emerging based on the hypothesis that chronic conditions are non-randomly associated forming multimorbidity patterns. However, there are few longitudinal studies of these patterns, which could allow for better preventive strategies and healthcare planning. The objective of the MTOP (Multimorbidity Trajectories in Older Patients) study is to identify patterns of chronic multimorbidity in a cohort of older patients and their progression and trajectories in the previous 10 years.
METHODS: A retrospective, observational study with a cohort of 3988 patients aged > 65 was conducted, including suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients in the reference area of Parc Taulí University Hospital. Real-world data on socio-demographic and diagnostic variables were retrieved. Multimorbidity patterns of chronic conditions were identified with fuzzy c-means cluster analysis. Trajectories of each patient were established along three time points (baseline, 5 years before, 10 years before). Descriptive statistics were performed together with a stratification by sex and age group.
RESULTS: 3988 patients aged over 65 were included (58.9% females). Patients with ≥ 2 chronic conditions changed from 73.6 to 98.3% in the 10-year range of the study. Six clusters of chronic multimorbidity were identified 10 years before baseline, whereas five clusters were identified at both 5 years before and at baseline. Three clusters were consistently identified in all time points (Metabolic and vascular disease, Musculoskeletal and chronic pain syndrome, Unspecific); three clusters were only present at the earliest time point (Male-predominant diseases, Minor conditions and sensory impairment, Lipid metabolism disorders) and two clusters emerged 5 years before baseline and remained (Heart diseases and Neurocognitive). Sex and age stratification showed different distribution in cluster prevalence and trajectories.
CONCLUSIONS: In a cohort of older patients, we were able to identify multimorbidity patterns of chronic conditions and describe their individual trajectories in the previous 10 years. Our results suggest that taking these trajectories into consideration might improve decisions in clinical management and healthcare planning.
TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05717309.
BACKGROUND: The average time for psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) diagnosis is about 7.5 years. Many patients receive inadequate treatment and sometimes even life-threatening treatments such as tracheal intubation during this time.
PURPOSE: To determine the risk factors for misdiagnosis of PNES as Epilepsy.
METHODS: The medical records of patients who underwent video-electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring were reviewed retrospectively. Patients who had PNES without epileptic seizures (ES) were included in this study. Baseline personal and monitoring characteristics were collected. The patients were then divided into two groups based on their therapeutic status. Patients in the treatment group were again divided into two groups based on the number of anti-seizure medications (ASM) they were treated with.
RESULTS: Fifty-seven patients diagnosed with PNES were included in this study. Thirty-seven patients were under treatment, and 20 patients were not under treatment at the time of monitoring. Motor seizures, abnormal interictal EEG patterns, and pathological brain imaging findings were more frequent among patients in the treatment group (p<0.05). Patients with motor seizures were more likely to be treated with multiple ASM than patients with only dialeptic nonmotor seizures (p<0.05). Lastly, patients in the treatment group were monitored longer and had fewer seizures during monitoring (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: PNES patients with abnormal EEG patterns and pathological brain imaging findings are more likely to be treated with ASM. The pure dialeptic nature of seizures is less likely to be misdiagnosed as ES. In addition, patients with such seizures are less likely to be treated with multiple treatment lines.
The safety and effectiveness of subcutaneous injections of LANTUS have been established in pediatric patients (age 6 to 15 years) with type 1 diabetes . LANTUS has not been studied in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age with type 1 diabetes. LANTUS has not been studied in pediatric patients with type 2 diabetes. [see ] Clinical Studies (14)

Based on the results of a study in pediatric patients, the dose recommendation when switching to LANTUS is the same as that described for adults and As in adults, the dosage of LANTUS must be individualized in pediatric patients based on metabolic needs and frequent monitoring of blood glucose. [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Clinical Studies (14)
Non-twins 6 mo-10 years (annual return): In 2014-2015, participants between 6-23 mo will be given Fluzone® inactivated influenza vaccine quadrivalent (IIV4) IM then switch to FluMist® a live, attenuated influenza vaccine quadrivalent (LAIV4) intranasally starting at age 24 months in annual follow-up. Participants aged 24 mo-8 yo will be given LAIV4 at enrollment and for annual follow-up. However, if LAIV4 is contraindicated, the child will continue with IIV4. Participants 9-10 yo will be given IIV4 annually. Vaccine non-naive participants will return annually for flu immunization and for blood samples on Days 0 and 60 post immunization. Vaccine naive children will get two doses of vaccine the first year then return annually for flu immunization and blood samples on Day 0 and 60 post second immunization. Beginning in 2015-2016, all participants in this arm will receive Fluzone® inactivated influenza vaccine quadrivalent (IIV4) annually following ACIP recommendation against LAIV4.
