A woman in her fifth month of pregnancy presented to the outpatient department with vomiting, generalised itching and yellowish discolouration of the skin for 1 week. No history of rashes, fever, pain abdomen or altered stools. In view of four pregnancy losses previously, she was evaluated to have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and was advised low molecular weight heparin. She was a known type-II diabetic on insulin. Prophylactic oral dydrogesterone and natural micronised progesterone were started at a local hospital 2 months prior, in view of threatened abortion. Investigations revealed grossly elevated serum bilirubin and liver enzymes. Other blood investigations were unremarkable and abdominal ultrasonography was normal. The most likely diagnosis in this case, is drug-induced liver injury due to oral progestin consumption. Causality assessment by Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Model was used to establish the diagnosis. High doses of progestin over a prolonged period resulted in acute hepatic toxicity causing itching, jaundice and transaminitis. Cautious use of progestins in appropriate dosage is recommended during pregnancy.
Study Arms 2 will have two groups: group 1 - HIV-uninfected receiving Flu Quadrivalent; group 2 - HIV-infected receiving Flu Quadrivalent. The Flu Quadrivalent is recommended as a single dose for adults, the second and the booster doses for Arm 2 will be placebo.
Postoperative pulmonary complications can increase the length of hospital stay and medical costs. In particular, moderate to severe pulmonary complications, which often require clinical intervention, once occur, will lead to significantly prolonged postoperative hospitalization or even cause permanent damage or death in severe cases. A number of risk-stratified cation models have been developed to identify patients at increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. However, these models were built by using the traditional regression analysis. However, the traditional prediction methods have the disadvantages of limited processing power of nonlinear models and outlier, and relatively single selection variables. The obtained models have poor accuracy, and the quantification degree is not enough, so it is difficult to popularize clinical application. Artificial machine learning can use it by analyzing a large number of specific features in the rich data set to identify and learn to accurately predict the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases, and surpass traditional prediction models in dealing with classification problems. The algorithms are flexible, and it is more and more widely used in clinical practice research. However, there are few reports on machine learning models predicting prognostic models related to postoperative pulmonary complications in liver transplantation patients. Therefore, we aimed to build predictive models using artificial machine learning methods to screen for their risk factors in order to provide early intervention and individualized treatment for high-risk patients.
Open globe injury (OGI) is defined as a full-thickness wound of the eyewall. Its global incidence rate is 3.5 per 100,000 persons per year , but the rates vary between countries and populations depending on the socio-economic status, education, and lifestyle. These injuries result in poor visual outcome and cause severe ocular morbidity and blindness. Unexpected and sudden occurrence of the injury may cause a psychosocial problem, permanent changes in quality of life, career and plans of the sufferers. These problems also affect not only the patients, but also all their family members.

Despite the improvement in instrumentation and ocular surgery techniques, and increased awareness of occupational safety, OGI patients still exhibit poor visual prognosis. And sometimes, they can not perceive the seriousness of the injury. Therefore, the estimation of visual prognosis is very beneficial in managing the expectation of patients and establishing a treatment strategy. Many factors, such as the type of injury, mechanism of injury, the location of the wound, and posterior segment involvement, have been suggested to influence the visual prognosis in OGI.

Ocular penetrating and perforating injuries (commonly referred to as open globe injuries) can result in severe vision loss or loss of the eye. Penetrating injuries by definition penetrate into the eye but not through and through--there is no exit wound. Perforating injuries have both entrance and exit wounds. Typically, to constitute one of these injuries, a full-thickness rupture of the cornea and/or sclera must be present. Open globe rupture, in contrast, refers to blunt injury of the eye causing globe collapse. This typically occurs at the limbus and near the equator behind the recti muscles insertions, where the sclera is thinnest.

Dose proportionality has been established for the 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg tablet strengths for both peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and extent of absorption (AUC) (see Table 1 below). Another study established that the 160 mg tablet is bioequivalent to 2 x 80 mg tablets as well as to 4 x 40 mg for both peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and extent of absorption (AUC) (see Table 2 below). Given the short half-life of elimination of oxycodone from Oxycodone HCl Controlled-Release Tablets, steady-state plasma concentrations of oxycodone are achieved within 24-36 hours of initiation of dosing with Oxycodone HCl Controlled-Release Tablets. In a study comparing 10 mg of Oxycodone HCl Controlled-Release Tablets every 12 hours to 5 mg of immediate-release oxycodone every 6 hours, the two treatments were found to be equivalent for AUC and Cmax, and similar for Cmin (trough) concentrations. 

Oxycodone HCl Controlled-Release Tablets are NOT INDICATED FOR RECTAL ADMINISTRATION. Data from a study involving 21 normal volunteers show that Oxycodone HCl Controlled-Release Tablets administered per rectum resulted in an AUC 39% greater and a Cmax 9% higher than tablets administered by mouth. Therefore, there is an increased risk of adverse events with rectal administration.
In the no-intervention group, participants will continue with their usual practice, i.e. service-as-usual (SAU), for 4 months before implementing the project. After randomization, three tertiary education institutions are allocated in this arm, including The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), Tung Wah College (TWC) and City University of Hong Kong (CityU). The same integration procedure will be implemented after this waiting period.
Alosetron is a potent and selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. 5-HT3 receptors are ligand-gated cation channels that are extensively distributed on enteric neurons in the human gastrointestinal tract, as well as other peripheral and central locations. Activation of these channels and the resulting neuronal depolarization affect the regulation of visceral pain, colonic transit, and gastrointestinal secretions, processes that relate to the pathophysiology of IBS. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists such as alosetron inhibit activation of non-selective cation channels, which results in the modulation of the enteric nervous system. 

The cause of IBS is unknown. IBS is characterized by visceral hypersensitivity and hyperactivity of the gastrointestinal tract, which lead to abnormal sensations of pain and motor activity. Following distention of the rectum, patients with IBS exhibit pain and discomfort at lower volumes than healthy volunteers. Following such distention, alosetron reduced pain and exaggerated motor responses, possibly due to blockade of 5-HT3 receptors.

The transcript and associated decision support output are provided t o a physician to assist the physician in reviewing the transcript and in tak ing any appropriate action in response to the transcript.
Chronic digestive disorders are of increasing incidence worldwide with expensive treatments and no available cure. Available therapeutic schemes mainly rely on symptom relief, with large degrees of variability in patients' response to such treatments, underlining the need for new therapeutic strategies. There are strong indications that the gut microbiota's contribution seems to be a key modulator of disease activity and patients' treatment responses. Hence, efforts have been devoted to understanding host-microbe interactions and the mechanisms underpinning such variability. Animal models, being the gold standard, provide valuable mechanistic insights into host-microbe interactions. However, they are not exempt from limitations prompting the development of alternative methods. Emerging microfluidic technologies and gut-on-chip models were shown to mirror the main features of gut physiology and disease state, reflect microbiota modification, and include functional readouts for studying host responses. In this commentary, we discuss the relevance of animal models in understanding host-microbe interactions and how gut-on-chip technology holds promises for addressing patient variability in responses to chronic digestive disease treatment.
Disclosed herein are techniques related to model predictive control. The techniques may involve generating a desired glucose trajectory that approaches a desired steady state setpoint from a current glucose value over a prediction horizon. The techniques may involve generating a plurality of insulin delivery patterns. Each insulin delivery pattern may correspond to an amount of insulin to be delivered over a control horizon. The techniques may involve generating a plurality of predicted glucose trajectories over the control horizon. Each predicted glucose may be generated based on the current glucose value and a respective insulin delivery pattern. The techniques may involve comparing the desired glucose trajectory against each predicted glucose trajectory and selecting a predicted glucose trajectory that is more similar to the desired glucose trajectory than any other predicted glucose trajectory. The techniques may involve determining an insulin delivery pattern used to generate the selected predicted glucose trajectory.
BACKGROUND: Concurrent neoadjuvant chemo-radiation (nCRT) with total mesorectal excision (TME) alone sometimes fails to cure lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM). Therefore, additional lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) can help in the treatment of these patients. This is what we refer to as extended total mesorectal excision (eTME). Such operations (TME alone or eTME) can be performed using conventional laparoscopic techniques and robotic-assisted techniques as well. Our meta-analysis aims to compare the results of robot-assisted (R-eTME) versus laparoscopic-assisted extended mesorectal excision (L-eTME) in terms of short- and long-term outcomes.
METHODOLOGY: Databases searched using title and abstract included Medline (via PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase, up to February 20, 2024. All studies that documented robotic versus laparoscopic procedures for extended total mesorectal excision (R-eTME versus L-eTME) and reported more than two relevant outcomes, were included in the study.
RESULTS: Our meta-analysis demonstrates four significant outcomes (operative time, urinary complications, overall recurrence, and admission days) between the laparoscopic and robotic groups. The robotic approach shows advantages over the laparoscopic approach in these outcomes except for the operative time (minute), which was longer in the robotic group compared to the laparoscopic group. The laparoscopic group is associated with a higher overall recurrence than the robotic group with an Odds Ratio of 2(95% CI, 1-4, p = 0.05).
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis study showed that the R-eTME group had a lower recurrence rate compared to the L-eTME group. Additionally, hospital admission days increased significantly in the laparoscopic group. Other long-term outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. Short-term outcomes were similar, except for more urinary complications in the laparoscopic group. In conclusion, the study suggests that robotic surgery may offer advantages over laparoscopic surgery for eTME. Further research and analysis could provide further insight into the potential benefits of robotic surgery in this procedure, particularly when surgeon experience, center volume, and learning curve are taken into consideration.

BACKGROUND: Pediatric post coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) condition (PPCC) is a heterogeneous syndrome, which can significantly affect the daily lives of children. This study aimed to identify clinically meaningful phenotypes in children with PPCC, to better characterize and treat this condition.
METHODS: Participants were children with physician-diagnosed PPCC, referred to the academic hospital Amsterdam UMC in the Netherlands between November 2021 and March 2023. Demographic factors and information on post-COVID symptoms, comorbidities, and impact on daily life were collected. Clinical clusters were identified using an unsupervised and unbiased approach for mixed data types.
RESULTS: Analysis of 111 patients (aged 3-18 years) revealed three distinct clusters within PPCC. Cluster 1 (n = 62, median age = 15 years) predominantly consisted of girls (74.2%). These patients suffered relatively more from exercise intolerance, dyspnea, and smell disorders. Cluster 2 (n = 33, median age = 13 years) contained patients with an even gender distribution (51.5% girls). They suffered from relatively more sleep problems, memory loss, gastrointestinal symptoms, and arthralgia. Cluster 3 (n = 16, median age = 11 years) had a higher proportion of boys (75.0%), suffered relatively more from fever, had significantly fewer symptoms (median of 5 symptoms compared to 8 and 10 for clusters 1 and 2 respectively), and experienced a lower impact on daily life.
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified three distinct clinical PPCC phenotypes, with variations in sex, age, symptom patterns, and impact on daily life. These findings highlight the need for further research to understand the potentially diverse underlying mechanisms contributing to post-COVID symptoms in children.
NEW MATERIAL:A polypeptide having cell-adhesion activity and having an amino acid sequence expressed by formula I (X is H, the sequence of formula II or a sequence obtained by deleting an amino acid or a peptide from the N-terminal of the above sequence). USE:An instillation, a lotion, a remedy for wound and a coating agent for culture substrate. PREPARATION:For example, a cDNA library containing a cDNA of a required region of fibronectin is prepared by a primer extension process from a poly(A)<+> RNA originated from human liver. The library is connected to a phage vector, cultured and screened by using a cDNA fragment of fibronectin as a probe. DNA is collected from positive plaque to obtain a DNA coding a polypeptide having cell-adhesion activity. The DNA is linked to a vector to prepare a recombinant plasmid, which is introduced into a host. The resultant transformant is cultured to obtain the objective polypeptide of formula I.
FIELD: biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular biology. SUBSTANCE: recombinant plasmid DNA has human cytomegalovirus gene UL 44 fragment that encodes immunodominant site (2 antigenic epitopes) of DNA-binding viral protein p 52 (ICP 36). Structure provides biosynthesis of polypeptide as human cytomegalovirus p 52 fragment with polyhistidine tract for affinity purification that shows antigenic properties of human cytomegalovirus. The use of obtained antigen for detection of cytomegalovirus-specific immunoglobulins M (IgM-human cytomegalovirus) in patient blood shows 98-99% of sensitivity and specificity in immunoenzyme assay. The above described plasmid structure ensures to increase synthesis of the end polypeptide by 40-40 times as compared with that in prototype. EFFECT: plasmid DNA indicated above, increased yield of polypeptide. 4 dwg, 2 ex
BACKGROUND: Despite advances in treatment, residual or recurrent tumors after definitive (chemo) radiotherapy for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remain a challenge in clinical management and require accurate and timely detection for optimal salvage therapy. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of Fluorine 18 (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in detecting residual or recurrent tumors after definitive (chemo) radiotherapy for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SCC.
METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on 30 patients who presented with new symptoms after definitive (chemo) radiotherapy for laryngeal (n = 21) and hypopharyngeal (n = 9) carcinoma. Both 18F-FDG PET/CT and DW-MRI were performed and histopathologic analysis served as the standard of reference.
RESULTS: Histopathology showed 20 patients as positive and 10 as negative for tumors. 18F-FDG PET/CT detected all tumors correctly but was falsely positive in one case. DW-MRI detected tumors in 18 out of 20 positive patients and correctly excluded tumors in all negative patients. The sensitivity and specificity of 18F-FDG PET/CT were 100% and 90%, respectively, while the values for DW-MRI were 90% and 100%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The study concludes that 18F-FDG PET/CT is slightly superior to DW-MRI in detecting residual or recurrent tumors after definitive (chemo) radiotherapy for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SCC. The combined use of 18F-FDG PET/CT and DW-MRI can potentially improve specificity in therapy response evaluation.
Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer. .For the IA group, colon, transverse mesocolon, ileum and terminal ileum mesentery will be resected intracorporeally through a 45 mm endoscopic linear stapler with vascular cartridge. Then, the linear stapler will inserted through two small enterotomies and a mechanical ileo-transverse, side-to-side isoperistaltic intracorporeal anastomosis performed using the vascular cartridge with six rows of closely placed staples. The enterotomies will be then closed using a double layered continuous intra corporeal manual suture with 3-0 Polyglactin 910. The mesenteric defects will be left open. The specimen will be placed in a protective plastic bag and then extracted through a Pfannestiel incision.
Through meticulous examination of lymph nodes, the stage and severity of cancer can be determined. This information is invaluable for doctors to select the most appropriate treatment plan and predict patient prognosis; however, any oversight in the examination of lymph nodes may lead to cancer metastasis and poor prognosis. In this review, we summarize a significant number of articles supported by statistical data and clinical experience, proposing a standardized evaluation protocol for lymph nodes. This protocol begins with preoperative imaging to assess the presence of lymph node metastasis. Radiomics has replaced the single-modality approach, and deep learning models have been constructed to assist in image analysis with superior performance to that of the human eye. The focus of this review lies in intraoperative lymphadenectomy. Multiple international authorities have recommended specific numbers for lymphadenectomy in various cancers, providing surgeons with clear guidelines. These numbers are calculated by applying various statistical methods and real-world data. In the third chapter, we mention the growing concern about immune impairment caused by lymph node dissection, as the lack of CD8 memory T cells may have a negative impact on postoperative immunotherapy. Both excessive and less lymph node dissection have led to conflicting findings on postoperative immunotherapy. In conclusion, we propose a protocol that can be referenced by surgeons. With the systematic management of lymph nodes, we can control tumor progression with the greatest possible likelihood, optimize the preoperative examination process, reduce intraoperative risks, and improve postoperative quality of life.
