Amlodipine besylate tablets have been compared to placebo in four 8–12 week studies of patients with NYHA Class II/III heart failure, involving a total of 697 patients. In these studies, there was no evidence of worsened heart failure based on measures of exercise tolerance, NYHA classification, symptoms, or left ventricular ejection fraction. In a long-term (follow-up at least 6 months, mean 13.8 months) placebo-controlled mortality/morbidity study of amlodipine besylate tablets 5–10 mg in 1153 patients with NYHA Classes III (n=931) or IV (n=222) heart failure on stable doses of diuretics, digoxin, and ACE inhibitors, amlodipine besylate tablets had no effect on the primary endpoint of the study which was the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and cardiac morbidity (as defined by life-threatening arrhythmia, acute myocardial infarction, or hospitalization for worsened heart failure), or on NYHA classification, or symptoms of heart failure. Total combined all-cause mortality and cardiac morbidity events were 222/571 (39%) for patients on amlodipine besylate tablets and 246/583 (42%) for patients on placebo; the cardiac morbid events represented about 25% of the endpoints in the study.   
  
Another study (PRAISE-2) randomized patients with NYHA Class III (80%) or IV (20%) heart failure without clinical symptoms or objective evidence of underlying ischemic disease, on stable doses of ACE inhibitors (99%), digitalis (99%), and diuretics (99%), to placebo (n=827) or amlodipine besylate tablets (n=827) and followed them for a mean of 33 months. There was no statistically significant difference between amlodipine besylate tablets and placebo in the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality (95% confidence limits from 8% reduction to 29% increase on amlodipine besylate tablets). With amlodipine besylate tablets, there were more reports of pulmonary edema.
Infants/Children (Day 0-Age 5) will participate in this study as minimal risk. Patients will record 30 seconds of data that is collected on the QTc Screening device.
BACKGROUND: Denture stomatitis (DS) is an inflammatory disorder that affects the mucosal surface underneath the dentures and frequently causes oral mucosal irritation, discomfort, and altered taste perception, which prevents people from consuming enough nutrients. One of the main causes of DS is an overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans (C. albicans). A possible alternative treatment for Candida infections is thought to be laser therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate how different wavelengths of laser would affect growth and pathogenic properties of Candida albicans.
METHODS: A concentration of 106 viable cells/ml of Candida albicans were used in the preparation process. Four groups were created from the specimens. Culturing of the control group was completed with no intervention. The other 3 groups received laser radiation for 60 seconds at a power of 1W. The 2nd and 3rd groups were irradiated with diode laser at a wavelength of 940 nm and 980 nm respectively. The 4th group was irradiated with Nd-YAG laser at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Turbidimetric growth was defined as variations in the optical density of fungal growth. These measures were made at three different times: baseline, 48 hours, and 72 hours.
RESULTS: In both groups of diode laser, the growth of Candida albicans showed no remarkable differences at baseline, after 48 and 72 hours using a power of 1 W and duration of 60 seconds. The Nd-YAG group showed significant increase in optical density after 48 hrs then significant decrease after 72 hrs. The optical density values in the control group showed no notable difference between the control and diode study groups at different time periods. However, the Nd:YAG group showed a statistically significant difference compared to the control and the 2 diode laser groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Different laser parameters have a different effect on growth and pathogenic properties of Candida albicans. Diode laser therapy with wavelengths 940 and 980 nm used in continuous mode with power of 1 W for duration of 60 seconds can result in proliferation of Candida albicans instead of destroying them. Nd:YAG laser, used in pulsed mode, with power of 1 W for a duration of 60 seconds can be used to destroy Candida albicans and therefore, can be used as an effective treatment for denture stomatitis.
Neonates to less than one year of age

Pantoprazole was not found to be effective in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, treatment-withdrawal study of 129 pediatric patients 1 through 11 months of age. Patients were enrolled if they had symptomatic GERD based on medical history and had not responded to non-pharmacologic interventions for GERD for two weeks. Patients received Pantoprazole daily for four weeks in an open-label phase, then patients were randomized in equal proportion to receive Pantoprazole treatment or placebo for the subsequent four weeks in a double-blind manner. Efficacy was assessed by observing the time from randomization to study discontinuation due to symptom worsening during the four-week treatment-withdrawal phase. There was no statistically significant difference between Pantoprazole and placebo in the rate of discontinuation.

In this trial, the adverse reactions that were reported more commonly (difference of ≥ 4%) in the treated population compared to the placebo population were elevated CK, otitis media, rhinitis, and laryngitis.

In a population pharmacokinetic analysis, the systemic exposure was higher in patients less than 1 year of age with GERD compared to adults who received a single 40 mg dose (geometric mean AUC was 103% higher in preterm infants and neonates receiving single dose of 2.5 mg of Pantoprazole, and 23% higher in infants 1 through 11 months of age receiving a single dose of approximately 1.2 mg/kg). In these patients, the apparent clearance (CL/F) increased with age (median clearance: 0.6 L/hr, range: 0.03 to 3.2 L/hr).

These doses resulted in pharmacodynamic effects on gastric but not esophageal pH. Following once daily dosing of 2.5 mg of Pantoprazole in preterm infants and neonates, there was an increase in the mean gastric pH (from 4.3 at baseline to 5.2 at steady-state) and in the mean % time that gastric pH was > 4 (from 60% at baseline to 80% at steady-state). Following once daily dosing of approximately 1.2 mg/kg of Pantoprazole in infants 1 through 11 months of age, there was an increase in the mean gastric pH (from 3.1 at baseline to 4.2 at steady-state) and in the mean % time that gastric pH was > 4 (from 32% at baseline to 60% at steady-state). However, no significant changes were observed in mean intraesophageal pH or % time that esophageal pH was < 4 in either age group.

Because Pantoprazole was not shown to be effective in the randomized, placebo-controlled study in this age group, the use of Pantoprazole for treatment of symptomatic GERD in infants less than 1 year of age is not indicated.
Participants receive escalating doses of MK-4621 Q1W during each 21-day cycle for a maximum duration of 6 cycles in combination with pembrolizumab at a fixed dose 200 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W) for a maximum duration of 6 cycles. Participants may continue on treatment with pembrolizumab after Cycle 6 for up to 35 cycles (Cycles 7-35, approximately 2 years) from the start of treatment. Dose escalation of MK-4621 will be based on safety and tolerability.
A method and system for managing patient care includes electronically recording medical and demographic information of a patient and developing and electronically recording with the same software program an assessment of the patient including a plan of treatment having defined objectives and goals. Progress notes are periodically entered with the software program. The software program generates prompts for specific data to be input into each progress note. The prompts are automatically generated by the software program based on at least one of the recorded plan of treatment and defined objectives and goals. The progress notes are authenticated and electronically recorded and date stamped by the software program via digital signature and biometric verification such that, after the progress note is recorded, the progress note cannot be altered. Patient progress is tracked with the software program via automated comparisons of the progress notes and the objectives and goals of the plan of treatment.
The three major objectives of this NIH sponsored application are: 1) to characterize the severity of cognitive impairment and driving performance changes following alcohol consumption in a group of patients who have undergone Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) bariatric surgery and 2) to investigate differential reinforcing properties of alcohol in patients before and after they undergo RYGB. Both of these objectives stem from observations from the investigators work and previous empirical studies suggesting that the pharmacokinetics (PK) of alcohol are substantially altered following bariatric surgery. This may lead to alterations in the time-course and severity of alcohol-related cognitive and driving impairment, as well as alter the reinforcing effects of drinking alcohol. Particularly relevant to these objectives, PK data have shown higher peak alcohol concentrations and a shorter time to achieve them in bariatric surgery patients. Therefore the third objective of this application is to better characterize the PK profile of alcohol following RYGB. Finally, investigators will explore whether changes in impairment, reinforcement, and PKs are moderated by gender, age, smoking, and alcohol use.

In this study investigators propose to prospectively investigate approximately 50-60 RYGB patients. Participants will be assessed at baseline (pre-surgery) and one year after surgery (to approximate their weight nadir) in an acute alcohol dosing laboratory paradigm.
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a debilitating disorder which imposes a threat to mother and infant health. An estimated 600,000 American women suffer from PPD annually, making it one of the most frequent complications of pregnancy. Available secondary preventive interventions are often ineffective, which calls for identifying novel means for prevention. Impaired mother-infant bonding is a hallmark of PPD. Depressed mothers may have difficulties developing maternal feelings and providing sensitive care. In turn, impaired bonding may worsen mother's depression. Conventional pharmacotherapy does not help with bonding impairment.

This study will attempt to fill in the current gap in effective preventive interventions for pregnant mothers at risk. Evidence in postpartum mothers indicates that high peripartum OXT levels are associated with enhanced maternal behavior and low levels with depression. Data also indicates that in depressed mothers, OXT levels may decrease during the first days following childbirth rather than increase as is the norm. Therefore, the investigators will test the therapeutic effects of OXT in women at risk for PPD. It is hypothesized that administration of IN-OXT (total daily dose 48 IU) over the course of four days from as early as day one postpartum in comparison to placebo will 1) enhance mother-infant bonding, 2) reduce depressive and anxiety symptoms at 5 days postpartum, and 3) facilitate child development.
Patients undergo a 20-minute acupuncture session once a week for 6 weeks. Patients also receive written information about fatigue and its possible management.
Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) has been reported in patients taking NSAIDs such as NAPROSYN Suspension. Some of these events have been fatal or life-threatening. DRESS typically, although not exclusively, presents with fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, and/or facial swelling. Other clinical manifestations may include hepatitis, nephritis, hematological abnormalities, myocarditis, or myositis. Sometimes symptoms of DRESS may resemble an acute viral infection. Eosinophilia is often present. Because this disorder is variable in its presentation, other organ systems not noted here may be involved. It is important to note that early manifestations of hypersensitivity, such as fever or lymphadenopathy, may be present even though rash is not evident. If such signs or symptoms are present, discontinue NAPROSYN Suspension and evaluate the patient immediately.
Part 1, Dose Escalation, is comprised of 3 dosing cohorts of 6 subjects each. Acalabrutinib dosing is fixed in all cohorts at 100 mg PO twice daily (BID). In addition to acalabrutinib, subjects in Cohort 1 will receive ACP-319, 25 mg BID; Cohort 2 will receive ACP-319, 50 mg BID: and Cohort 3 will receive ACP-319 100 mg BID. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the study treatment combination will be determined by assessing dose-related toxicities (DLTs) for each cohort at the end of Cycle 1 prior to dose escalation. If there are greater than or equal to 2 DLTs in a cohort, dose escalation will not occur and the MTD will be the highest daily dose for which less than 33% of the subjects in that cohort experienced DLTs in Cycle 1.

Part 2, Dose Expansion, includes 12 subjects per histology, dosing at the MTD for the combination of acalabrutinib and ACP-319 established in Part 1. Subjects will continue dosing until disease progression or unacceptable drug-related toxicity.
Copy number variants (CNVs) are an important source of normal and pathogenic genome variations. Unbalanced chromosome abnormalities are either gains or losses of large genomic regions that do not or only minimally clinically affect the individual. Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is widely used in the screening of common fetal chromosome aneuploidy. One example is the duplication of 10q11.21q11.23, which includes the 10q11.2 region. This region contains a complex set of low-copy repeats that may lead to various genomic alterations through non-allelic homologous recombination. In this report, we present a case of a de novo 10q11.21q11.23 duplication with a normal phenotype. This case may be helpful for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling. A combination of NIPT, prenatal ultrasound, karyotype analysis, copy number variation sequencing, and genetic counseling is helpful for the prenatal diagnosis of CNVs.
Patients wear Laryngeal Mask Airway after receiving general anesthesia and falling asleep. Patients then undergo standard of care endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Patients also complete a 5-minute interview following ERCP procedure.
Decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) have been observed with long-term administration of products containing inhaled corticosteroids. The clinical significance of small changes in BMD with regard to long-term consequences such as fracture is unknown. Patients with major risk factors for decreased bone mineral content, such as prolonged immobilization, family history of osteoporosis, postmenopausal status, tobacco use, advanced age, poor nutrition, or chronic use of drugs that can reduce bone mass (e.g., anticonvulsants, oral corticosteroids) should be monitored and treated with established standards of care. Since patients with COPD often have multiple risk factors for reduced BMD, assessment of BMD is recommended prior to initiating SYMBICORT and periodically thereafter. If significant reductions in BMD are seen and SYMBICORT is still considered medically important for that patient's COPD therapy, use of medication to treat or prevent osteoporosis should be strongly considered. 

Effects of treatment with SYMBICORT 160/4.5, SYMBICORT 80/4.5, formoterol 4.5 mcg, or placebo on BMD was evaluated in a subset of 326 patients (females and males 41 to 88 years of age) with COPD in the 12-month lung function study. BMD evaluations of the hip and lumbar spine regions were conducted at baseline and 52 weeks using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans. Mean changes in BMD from baseline to end of treatment were small (mean changes ranged from -0.01 - 0.01 g/cm2). ANCOVA results for total spine and total hip BMD based on the end of treatment time point showed that all geometric LS Mean ratios for the pairwise treatment group comparisons were close to 1, indicating that overall, BMD for total hip and total spine regions for the 12-month time point were stable over the entire treatment period.
After Ethics Committee approval, all paediatric patients admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) will underwent PICU screening. In case of eligible for inclusion in to the study, the baseline parameters a demographics will be evaluated together with the initial laboratory sampling after approval and singed the informed consent by the legal guardian of the patient. Patients will be randomized by the online randomizer to the oligomeric and polymeric enteral nutrition group.

Polymeric (control group): Patients indicated for at least 2 days of enteral nutrition by the gastric tube. The nutritional support will be initiated after initial haemodynamic stabilization (blood levels of lactate normalization, norepinephrine infusion \<0,1 ug/kg/min) in the 48-hours interval from admission in form of bolus administration of polymeric formula. The initial dose will be 10% of the target volume (by Schofield equation). The gastric residual volume will be evaluated after 4 hours from bolus dose. In case of gastric residual volume lower than half of previously administered dose, the next dose will be elevated by 10% with the aim to reach the target dose in 48 hours. In case of higher residual volume, the same amount will be administered with the metoclopramid (3 times per day). In case of persistent residual volume higher than half of initial dose in 12 hours, the erythromycin will be initiated for 3 days. The bolus enteral feeding will be administered at the predefined time 5/day (6:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00). The last gastric decompression is planned ad 24:00. The aim is to reach energetic goal defined by Schofield equation.

Interventional (oligomeric group): Patients indicated for at least 2 days of enteral nutrition by the gastric tube. The nutritional support will be initiated after initial haemodynamic stabilization (blood levels of lactate normalization, norepinephrine infusion \<0,1 ug/kg/min) in the 48-hours interval from admission in form of bolus administration of oligomeric formula. The initial dose will be 10% of the target volume (by Schofield equation). The gastric residual volume will be evaluated after 4 hours from bolus dose. In case of gastric residual volume lower than half of previously administered dose, the next dose will be elevated by 10% with the aim to reach the target dose in 48 hours.

The treatment to patient with agglomeration and tumor is about 120, wherein 100 cases have been cured and the efficiency can be 83%.
Multimodal analgesia is widely advocated for the control of perioperative pain in an attempt to reduce the use of opioids and their side effects. Duloxetine is a selective inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake with demonstrated efficacy in chronic pain such as painful diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of duloxetine in fentanyl consumption during the postoperative period of patients undergoing elective spine surgery by intervertebral disc degeneration . Duloxetine as an analgesic agent in patients undergoing elective spine surgery: evaluation with fentanyl demand controlled by the patient. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of duloxetine in fentanyl consumption during the postoperative period of patients undergoing elective spine surgery by degenerative disc disease. Secondary endpoints were pain scores and the presence or absence of adverse effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, itching, dizziness and drowsiness.
This is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter phase 3 clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib in combination with BSC versus placebo in combination with BSC in metastatic colorectal cancer participants who have progressed on, or were intolerant to, chemotherapy, anti-VEGF and anti-EGFR biologics, and TAS-102 or regorafenib. Participants with MSI-H/MMR deficient tumors must have also received an immune checkpoint inhibitor if approved and available and if deemed appropriate. Subjects with BRAF-mutant tumors must have been treated with a BRAF inhibitor if approved and available and if deemed appropriate.

Metastatic colorectal cancer cannot be cured by surgery. Therefore, treatment principals are primarily aimed at controlling disease progression and prolonging survival. Standard first- and second-line therapy includes cytotoxic drugs such as 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan; anti-VEGF therapy; and, if RAS wild type, anti-EGFR therapy. After the first two lines of chemotherapy, standard third-line treatment is either TAS-102 or regorafenib. There are currently no effective treatments for patients who have progressed on standard, approved therapies, and treatment options include reuse of prior therapies, clinical trials or BSC. Consequently, there is an unmet medical need for additional safe and effective treatment.
