BACKGROUND: Mental health plays a major role in children and adolescents with obesity. The aim of this study was (1) to compare mental health in children with obesity with the background population and (2) to investigate if mental health changed during one year in an obesity treatment program.
METHODS: Data on self-reported mental health was collected in 107 children and adolescents (mean age 13.2 years) with obesity at first visit in an obesity treatment program and at one year follow-up (n = 47). Mental health was assessed by eight questions from the Danish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) questionnaire: (1) self-rated health (2) life satisfaction (3) feeling low (4) body-image (5) loneliness (6) self-esteem (7) self-efficacy and (8) social competence. Data was compared to a reference population based on HBSC data. BMI-SDS was based on Danish reference values.
RESULTS: Children and adolescents with obesity had significantly higher odds of reporting negative body image and feeling low and lower odds of reporting high self-rated health and high self-esteem compared to a reference population. There was no difference between the groups regarding life-satisfaction, social competence, self-efficacy or feeling lonely. There were no significant changes in mental health from first visit to one-year follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight the mental health difficulties in children and adolescents with obesity, and the importance of addressing these issues in obesity treatment. The results also indicate that children with obesity have psychosocial resources that should be exploited in treatment protocols.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause long-lasting locomotor deficits, pain, and mood disorders. Anatomical and functional outcomes are exacerbated by inflammation after SCI, which causes secondary damage. One promising target after SCI is manipulating the circadian system, which optimizes biology and behavior for time of day - including neuroimmune responses and mood-related behaviors. Circadian disruption after SCI is likely worsened by a disruptive hospital environment, which typically includes dim light-at-night (dLAN). Here, we hypothesized that mice subjected to SCI, then placed in dLAN, would exhibit worsened locomotor deficits, pain-like behavior, and anxiety-depressive-like symptoms compared to mice maintained in light days with dark nights (LD). C57BL/6 J mice received sham surgery or moderate T9 contusion SCI, then were placed permanently in LD or dLAN. dLAN after SCI did not worsen locomotor deficits; rather, SCI-dLAN mice showed slight improvement in open-field locomotion at the final timepoint. Although dLAN did not alter SCI-induced heat hyperalgesia, SCI-dLAN mice exhibited an increase in mechanical allodynia at 13 days post-SCI compared to SCI-LD mice. SCI-LD and SCI-dLAN mice had similar outcomes using sucrose preference (depressive-like) and open-field (anxiety-like) tests. At 21 dpo, SCI-dLAN mice had reduced preference for a novel juvenile compared to SCI-LD, implying that dLAN combined with SCI may worsen this mood-related behavior. Finally, lesion size was similar between SCI-LD and SCI-dLAN mice. Therefore, newly placing C57BL/6 J mice in dLAN after SCI had modest effects on locomotor, pain-like, and mood-related behaviors. Future studies should consider whether clinically-relevant circadian disruptors, alone or in combination, could be ameliorated to enhance outcomes after SCI.
PURPOSE: Due to improved survival of esophageal cancer patients, long-term quality of life (QoL) is increasingly gaining importance. The aim of this study is to compare QoL outcomes between open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (Open-E) and a hybrid approach including laparotomy and a robot-assisted thoracic phase (hRob-E). Additionally, a standard group of healthy individuals serves as reference.
METHODS: With a median follow-up of 36 months after hRob-E (n = 28) and 40 months after Open-E (n = 43), patients' QoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QoL Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and the EORTC Esophagus specific QoL questionnaire 18 (QLQ-OES18).
RESULTS: Patients showed similar clinical-pathological characteristics, but hRob-E patients had significantly higher ASA scores at surgery (p < 0.001). Patients and healthy controls reported similar global health status and emotional and cognitive functions. However, physical functioning of Open-E patients was significantly reduced compared to healthy controls (p = 0.019). Operated patients reported reduced role and social functioning, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, and diarrhea. A trend towards a better pain score after hRob-E compared to Open-E emerged (p = 0.063). Regarding QLQ-OES18, hRob-E- and Open-E-treated patients similarly reported eating problems, reflux, and troubles swallowing saliva.
CONCLUSIONS: The global health status is not impaired after esophagectomy. Despite higher ASA scores, QoL of hRob-E patients is similar to that of patients operated with Open-E. Moreover, patients after hRob-E appear to have a better score regarding physical functioning and a better pain profile than patients after Open-E, indicating a benefit of minimally invasive surgery.
BACKGROUND: Microtia is a congenital ear malformation that can occur as isolated microtia or as part of a syndrome. The etiology is currently poorly understood, although there is strong evidence that genetics has a role in the occurrence of microtia. This systematic review aimed to determine the genes involved and the abnormalities in microtia patients' head and neck regions.
METHODS: We used seven search engines to search all known literature on the genetic and phenotypic variables associated with the development or outcome of microtia. The identified publications were screened and selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessed for methodological quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools. We found 40 papers in this systematic review with phenotypic data in microtia involving 1459 patients and 30 articles containing genetic data involved in microtia.
RESULT: The most common accompanying phenotype of all microtia patients was external ear canal atresia, while the most common head and neck abnormalities were the auricular, mental, and oral regions. The most common syndrome found was craniofacial microsomia syndrome. In the syndromic microtia group, the most common genes were TCOF1 (43.75%), SIX2 (4.69%), and HSPA9 (4.69%), while in the non-syndromic microtia group, the most frequently found gene was GSC exon 2 (25%), FANCB (16.67%), HOXA2 (8.33%), GSC exon 3 (8.33%), MARS1 (8.33%), and CDT1 (8.33%).
CONCLUSIONS: Our systematic review shows some genes involved in the microtia development, including TCOF1, SIX2, HSPA9, GSC exon 2, FANCB, HOXA2, GSC exon 3, MARS1, and CDT1 genes. We also reveal a genotype-phenotype association in microtia. In addition, further studies with more complete and comprehensive data are needed, including patients with complete data on syndromes, phenotypes, and genotypes.
Of the total number of subjects in the double-blind clinical study of Azor, 20% (384/1940) were 65 years of age or older and 3% (62/1940) were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between subjects 65 years of age or older and younger subjects.

Elderly patients have decreased clearance of amlodipine. Starting amlodipine or adding amlodipine at 2.5 mg in patients ≥75 years old is recommended. The lowest dose of Azor is 5/20 mg; therefore, initial therapy with Azor is not recommended in patients ≥75 years old.

Amlodipine.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. Elderly patients have decreased clearance of amlodipine with a resulting increase of AUC of approximately 40% to 60%, and a lower initial dose may be required. 

Olmesartan medoxomil.Of the total number of hypertensive patients receiving olmesartan medoxomil in clinical studies, more than 20% were 65 years of age and over, while more than 5% were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in effectiveness or safety were observed between elderly patients and younger patients. 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 role of vitamin D in skeletal health is well established. More recently, vitamin D has been implicated in multiple other disease states and is currently a topic of much discussion in the pediatric and adult medical literature. Individuals with gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary diseases that limit the absorption of dietary vitamin D and those individuals with limited sunlight exposure or darker skin color are at risk for suboptimal vitamin D status. Recent joint guidelines from the North American and European Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN and ESPGHAN, respectively) have recommended routine surveillance and treatment for vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency in children affected by inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), namely Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Current recommendations are for prolonged daily dosing of oral vitamin D, but studies in children with other chronic diseases have demonstrated the benefit of improved compliance with less frequent, higher doses of vitamin D. The primary goal of this pilot study is to establish whether weekly dosing of vitamin D can correct suboptimal vitamin D status in children with inflammatory bowel disease. A secondary goal is to evaluate whether pediatric IBD patients with darker skin respond differently to vitamin D therapy than do their lighter-skinned counterparts.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common congenital abnormality of the kidney and is responsible for flank pain, recurrent urinary infections, hydronephrosis and the loss of renal function. Until recently, open pyeloplasty (OP) was the standard surgical treatment modality for UPJO.However, with the development of laparoscopic devices and surgical technology, laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) has become a more beneficial choice for the patients with UPJO than open surgery because of the advantages of excellent visualization, minimal trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, good cosmetic result, and a nearly successful rate compared with open pyeloplasty. The first LP in children was performed in 1995. It has gained popularity for older children. LP can be performed though retroperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches. Which surgical method is better is still controversial.
Physical restraint (PR) is defined by the HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé française) as the use of any intervention that prevent or limit movements capability, to protect a person from an inappropriate or a dangerous behavior. In French intensive care units (ICUs), wrist straps (and sometimes ankle straps) are frequently used to prevent self-removal of medical devices in case of agitation, which can affect about 50% of patients. A survey conducted in 121 French ICUs showed that in 82 % of ICUs, PR is used at least once during mechanical ventilation (MV) in more than 50 % of patients. In 65 % of ICUs, when PR is used, it is applied for more than 50 % of MV duration. In 29 % of ICUs, PR is used in more than 50 % of cases in awake, calm and co-operative patients. PR is started without written medical prescription in more than 50 % of patients in 68 % of ICUs. Only 21 % of ICUs have a written local procedure for PR use. In the European PRICE study (566 patients, 34 ICUs, 9 countries), the frequency of PR use varied from 0% to 100%.

The benefit of PR is not clearly established and PR could also be deleterious in this context. First, PR may leave patients with moderate to extremely stressful memory. Second, there is no demonstrated relationship between the PR rates and self-removal of medical devices. Finally, there is a complex relationship between agitation, PR use and delirium. While PR is prescribed to avoid potential risks associated with agitation, it seems to favor delirium. Delirium is a serious event in ICU patients that is independently associated with adverse outcomes in patients receiving MV. Moreover, the number of days of ICU delirium is significantly associated with increased 1-year mortality and long-term cognitive impairment in survivors.

The R2D2-ICU study will be a prospective, parallel-group, open label, multicenter (6 centers) randomized controlled trial. All consecutive eligible patients will be included. Patients will be randomly assigned (1/1 ratio) to either systematic PR use (systematic use group) or restrictive PR use (restrictive use group). Patients in the restrictive PR group will be subjected to PR only in case of severe agitation defined by a RASS ≥ +3. Physical restraint will consist of wrist straps. In both groups, patients will receive standardized management for analgesia, sedation, delirium detection, weaning and early mobilization according to current guidelines. Concealment will be obtained using a computer-generated randomization scheme of various-sized blocks stratified by center, age (\< or ≥ 65 years) and coma at the beginning of invasive mechanical ventilation (D0)) through a centralized 24h/24h internet service. Investigation blinded to group assignment is not feasible. In both arms, patients' arousal will be evaluated twice a day until day 14 with the use of RASS. Patients with a RASS of -5 or -4 will be considered comatose (and will not be assessed for delirium). Patients with a RASS score ≥ -3 will be assessed for delirium with the use of the CAM-ICU scale twice a day.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cardiac ablation is a well-established method for treating atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal therapeutic alternative to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoballoon ablation (CRYO). PFA uses high-voltage electric pulses to target cells. The present analysis aims to quantify the costs, outcomes, and resources associated with these three ablation strategies for paroxysmal AF.
METHODS: Real-world clinical data were prospectively collected during index hospitalization by three European medical centers (Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands) specialized in cardiac ablation. These data included procedure times (pre-procedural, skin-to-skin and post-procedural), resource use, and staff burden. Data regarding complications associated with each of the three treatment options and redo procedures were extracted from the literature. Costs were collected from hospital economic formularies and published cost databases. A cost-consequence model from the hospital perspective was built to estimate the impact of the three treatment options in terms of effectiveness and costs.
RESULTS: Across the three centers, N = 91 patients were included over a period of 12 months. A significant difference was seen in pre-procedural time (mean ± SD, PFA: 13.6 ± 3.7 min, CRYO: 18.8 ± 6.6 min, RFA: 20.4 ± 6.4 min; p < .001). Procedural time (skin-to-skin) was also different across alternatives (PFA: 50.9 ± 22.4 min, CRYO: 74.5 ± 24.5 min, RFA: 140.2 ± 82.4 min; p < .0001). The model reported an overall cost of €216,535 per 100 patients treated with PFA, €301,510 per 100 patients treated with CRYO and €346,594 per 100 patients treated with RFA. Overall, the cumulative savings associated with PFA (excluding kit costs) were €850 and €1,301 per patient compared to CRYO and RFA, respectively.
CONCLUSION: PFA demonstrated shorter procedure time compared to CRYO and RFA. Model estimates indicate that these time savings result in cost savings for hospitals and reduce outlay on redo procedures. Clinical practice in individual hospitals varies and may impact the ability to transfer the results of this analysis to other settings.
The HRV BF training will last for 6 weeks. There will be five training sessions per week, including four home sessions and one in-person session at the Neurociencia del Bienestar group laboratory (CTS-1129) at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Seville. Each session will last 20 minutes. The laboratory session will be conducted using the Procomp Infiniti biofeedback equipment (Thought Technologies). For the home HRV-BF sessions, we will use a novel methodology recently described (Schumann et al., 2021). The heart rate will be recorded using a sensor embedded in a strap that will be worn around the participant's chest (H10/H7 heart rate sensor; Polar Electro Oy, Kempele, Finland). Via Bluetooth, the mobile app EliteHRV (Elite HRV LLC, 2017) will collect data from the sensor, store the recordings, and display the heart rate. The heart rate oscillations will be shown on the participants' smartphone screens as real-time visual feedback of their heart rate.

Contrast CT of head and body was evaluated in three randomized, double-blind clinical trials of ULTRAVIST 300 mg Iodine per mL in 95 patients with vascular disorders. Visualization ratings were good or excellent in 99% of the patients with ULTRAVIST; a radiologic diagnosis was made in the majority of the patients. Confirmation of contrast CT findings by other diagnostic methods was not obtained.

ULTRAVIST was evaluated in a blinded reader trial for CT of the head and body. Among the 382 patients who were evaluated with ULTRAVIST 370 mg Iodine per mL, visualization ratings were good or excellent in approximately 97% of patients.

Similar studies were completed with comparable findings noted in excretory urography. 

Contrast mammography was evaluated in a published prospective study of 216 women (age range 26–85 years; mean age 54.6 years) who had BI-RADS 3, 4, or 5 findings on mammography and were evaluated using ULTRAVIST 300 mg Iodine per mL. Patients with breast implants, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, history of hypersensitivity reaction to iodinated contrast agents, and renal insufficiency were excluded from study. All breast lesions were evaluated in a blinded manner. A total of 226 lesions was evaluated, including 98 (43%) malignant lesions. Visualization of lesion contrast was scored on a 4-point scale, with 4 (2%) lesions rated as below background (negative), 93 (41%) as none, 46 (20%) as moderate, and 83 (37%) as intense.
