Patients will be randomized to receive standard anticancer treatment. Nadroparin patients will be treated with therapeutic doses of subcutaneous (s.c). nadroparin for 2 weeks followed by half therapeutic doses for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of wash-out, subsequent 2-week periods of therapeutic doses of nadroparin will be given for a total of 6 cycles each separated by a 4-week wash-out. The study treatment period ends at week 46 regardless of number of cycles achieved at that moment.
A pill dispenser intended to prevent overmedicating and overdosing on addictive medication. A blister pack is first loaded into the device and then locked within by the pharmacist. The device is then programmed by the pharmacist according to the prescribing physician's prescription. The device will only dispense the appropriate amount of medication to the patient at a designated time interval when the correct fingerprint is scanned. The patient cannot access his or her future dosages until the correct dosing time has elapsed, nor can any other person access the medication within the device. If the fingerprint is that of the patient, a stepper motor can be used to turn the blister pack inside, allowing the striker mechanism to dispense the user's medication. If the fingerprint is not recognized, the device will not respond, and the person will not have access to the drugs enclosed within Likewise, if the user tries to use the device before the correct dosing schedule, it will not respond, thus preventing overmedication. Overall, the device uses integrated technologies to create a secure dispensary system for the highly addictive medications held within.
INTRODUCTION: A hallmark of T cell dysregulation during sepsis is the downregulation of costimulatory molecules. CD28 is one of T cell costimulatory molecules significantly altered on memory T cells during sepsis. We recently showed that treatment with a αCD28 agonist in septic immunologically experienced mice led to improved survival. Therefore, here we aimed to identify the cell subset(s) necessary for the survival benefit observed in the context of CD28 agonism, and to further investigate the mechanism by which CD28 agonism improves sepsis survival in immunologically experienced mice. Methods: Mice received specific pathogen inoculation to generate memory T cell populations similar in frequency to that of adult humans. Once these infections were cleared and the T cell response had transitioned to the memory phase, animals were rendered septic via cecal ligation and puncture in the presence or absence of an agonistic anti-CD28 mAb.
RESULTS: Results demonstrated that CD8+ T cells, and not bulk CD4+ T cells or CD25+ regulatory T cells, were necessary for the survival benefit observed in CD28 agonist-treated septic immunologically experienced mice. Upon examination of these CD8+ T cells, we found that CD28 agonism in septic immunologically experienced mice was associated with an increase in Foxp3+ CD8+ T cells as compared to vehicle-treated controls. When CD8+ T cells were depleted in septic immunologically experienced mice in the setting of CD28 agonism, a significant increase in levels of inflammatory cytokines in the blood was observed.
DISCUSSION: Taken together, these results indicate that CD28 agonism in immunologically experienced mice effectively suppresses inflammation via a CD8+-dependent mechanism to decrease mortality during sepsis.
Treatment on study will be administered in 4-week cycles. Paclitaxel will be administered intravenously at a starting dose of 80mg/m2 weekly for 3 weeks followed by a 1-week rest. Pazopanib will be administered orally, in a continuous regimen, with a starting dose of 800mg daily.

Approximately 60 eligible subjects will be enrolled over a 24 month period. 21 subjects will be entered into the first stage of a 2-stage Simon Minimax design. If there are 3 or more responses, 39 additional subjects will be enrolled in Stage 2. The minimum number of responses required to move to the second stage, \> 3, were noted after the first 9 patients on treatment, and the study then proceeded towards the goal of accruing 60 total patients. Subjects are permitted to receive supportive care throughout the study including transfusion of blood and blood products, treatment with antibiotics, anti-emetics, anti-diarrheal agents, analgesics, erythropoietin, filgrastim (Neupogen), or bisphosphonates, when appropriate. Subjects should continue treatment on study until objective disease progression is documented according to RECIST or withdrawal from the study for other reasons. Subjects discontinuing treatment with paclitaxel prior to disease progression should continue treatment with pazopanib. Subjects discontinuing both agents prior to progressive disease (PD) will be followed for tumor assessment until PD, or until the initiation of a subsequent anti-cancer therapy in the absence of documented PD, or until death, whichever occurs first. Subjects may continue treatment beyond the time of RECIST-defined progression at the discretion of the investigator if the subject is perceived to be experiencing clinical benefit. Overall survival will be assessed for 2 years from first study treatment.

Objective: To explore and analyze the clinical features of patients with immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related hepatobiliary-pancreatic disease and the independent factors affecting the prognosis of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC). Methods: The clinical data of 179 adult cases diagnosed with IgG4-related hepato-pancreato-biliary disease in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2011 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups: isolated IgG4-SC, IgG4-SC/type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis(type 1 AIP), and isolated AIP according to the clinical manifestations. Demographic characteristics, baseline biochemical immunological indexes, and imaging manifestations were analyzed. The treatment response rate and survival rate were compared. The COX proportional hazards model was used to analyze the independent factors related to prognosis. Results: The mean age of diagnosis of patients with IgG4-related hepatobiliary-pancreatic disease was 60.3±12.0 years. Males accounted for 74.9%, and the median follow-up time was 38 months. The 1-year clinical response rate of patients with isolated IgG4-SC was lower than that of IgG4-SC/AIP (67.9% vs. 91.7%, P=0.019), and the primary endpoint-free 5-year survival rate was significantly reduced (64.9% vs. 95.9%, P<0.001). COX regression analysis showed that having cirrhosis before treatment (HR=6.708, P=0.004) and poor response after half a year of treatment (HR=11.488, P=0.002) were independent risk factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events in hepatobiliary diseases among patients with IgG4-SC. Conclusions: The clinical response rate and survival rate of patients with isolated IgG4-SC are lower than those of patients with IgG4-SC/AIP. Patients with IgG4-SC who do not respond well at six months of treatment and who have progressed to cirrhosis before treatment are at significantly increased risk of adverse events.

Background and Objectives: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have become the cornerstone of stroke prevention in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). While their efficacy in preventing catastrophic outcomes is well documented, the exploration of their effects on haematological parameters, particularly in clinically stable AF patients, remains markedly underrepresented in existing research. The aim of our investigation was to delineate the variations in key haematological parameters, with a special focus on haemoglobin (Hb), in a cohort of clinically stable patients afflicted with AF and receiving diverse oral anticoagulant treatments. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 742 patients with AF were evaluated. Following exclusion criteria, 530 patients were included and categorised based on the change in their Hb levels (ΔHb < 2 [n = 473] vs. ΔHb ≥ 2 [n = 57]) after one year of initial prescription of DOACs. Results: Patients in the ΔHb ≥ 2 g/dL group demonstrated significantly higher baseline haemoglobin levels during the pre-DOAC period (13.5 [12.3-14.6] vs. 14.6 [13.1-15.7]; p = 0.002). Baseline haemoglobin was identified as a predictive factor for a decrease in Hb ≥ 2 g/dL, with higher initial values being associated with more pronounced reductions (OR, 95% CI: 1.424 [1.178-1.723]; p < 0.005). This pattern was observed consistently across various types and dosages of DOACs. Conclusions: This study underscores the importance of vigilant clinical monitoring for anaemia in patients undergoing DOAC therapy, even when their clinical course appears to be stable.
BACKGROUND: Preoperative screening for iron deficiency is a part of patient blood management protocols. This systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression reviews the association between nonanemic iron deficiency and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We aimed to determine whether preoperative screening for nonanemic iron deficiency should be recommended in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
METHODS: Electronic databases MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), and Scopus were searched from inception until December 9, 2022. Studies were considered for inclusion if they (1) used an observational study design; (2) enrolled adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery; and (3) included an iron-deficient and iron-replete group, defined using serum ferritin and/or transferrin saturation. The primary outcome was the length of acute hospital stay. Secondary outcomes included length of intensive care unit stay, requirement for allogeneic red blood cell transfusion, number of red blood cell units transfused, days alive and at home at postoperative days 30 and 90, all-cause postoperative complications, postoperative infection, mortality, and hospital readmission. Meta-regression was performed to assess the effects of study and patient-level factors on the associations between nonanemic iron deficiency and specific outcomes. Individual study quality was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Exposures (ROBINS-E) tool. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) framework was used to determine the quality of evidence for each outcome.
RESULTS: Eight studies (2683 patients) were included. No significant association was observed between nonanemic iron deficiency and any of the primary or secondary outcomes except for an increased requirement for allogeneic red blood cell transfusion (odds ratio [OR], 1.39 [95% confidence interval, CI, 1.16-1.68; P < .001; I2 2.8%]). Meta-regression did not identify any potential sources of heterogeneity to explain variation in individual study results. The quality of evidence was rated as "low" or "very low" for all outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Few high-quality studies are available to assess associations between nonanemic iron deficiency and outcomes after cardiac surgery. Acknowledging these limitations, the presence of preoperative nonanemic iron deficiency was not associated with a change in the primary outcome of length of hospital stay, or any patient-centered secondary outcome compared to those without iron deficiency. There was an association with increased requirement for allogeneic red blood cell transfusion, but this did not impact the reported patient-centered outcomes.
Digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) is a 6 session training program (spanning 6 to 12 weeks) designed to improve sleep. Participants in the immediate dCBT-I group will receive the Sleepio intervention shortly after enrollment.
This group will perform local strengthening exercises (curl-ups, left side trunk flexion, trunk extension, right side trunk flexion). Each participant will have to perform three sets of each exercise with the maximal possible number of repetitions with a slow tempo (1s concentric phase and 2 s eccentric phase). Between sets, minimal rest (15 s) will be administered.
BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy is a complex oncologic operation associated with high rates of postoperative complications. While respiratory and septic complications have been well-defined, the implications of acute kidney injury (AKI) remain unclear. Using a nationally representative database, we aimed to characterize the association of AKI with mortality, resource use, and 30-day readmission.
METHODS: All adults undergoing elective esophagectomy with a diagnosis of esophageal or gastric cancer were identified in the 2010-2019 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Study cohorts were stratified based on presence of AKI. Multivariable regressions and Royston-Parmar survival analysis were used to evaluate the independent association between AKI and outcomes of interest.
RESULTS: Of an estimated 40,438 patients, 3,210 (7.9%) developed AKI. Over the 10-year study period, the incidence of AKI increased from 6.4% to 9.7%. Prior radiation/chemotherapy and minimally invasive operations were associated with reduced odds of AKI, whereas public insurance coverage and concurrent infectious and respiratory complications had greater risk of AKI. After risk adjustment, AKI remained independently associated with greater odds of in-hospital mortality (AOR: 4.59, 95% CI: 3.62-5.83) and had significantly increased attributable costs ($112,000 vs $54,000) and length of stay (25.7 vs 13.3 days) compared to patients without AKI. Furthermore, AKI demonstrated significantly increased hazard of 30-day readmission (hazard ratio: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01-1.32).
CONCLUSIONS: AKI after esophagectomy is associated with greater risk of mortality, hospitalization costs, and 30-day readmission. Given the significant adverse consequences of AKI, careful perioperative management to mitigate this complication may improve quality of esophageal surgical care at the national level.
The prevalence of pediatric obesity has increased significantly, and approximately 11% of American children and adolescents are obese. Of particular concern, the greatest increase in prevalence has occured among the heaviest children. Severe pediatric obesity (defined as \> 150% of ideal body weight for height) is associated with higher rates of medical and psychosocial morbidity than milder obesity is. Moreover, severely obese children are likelier than less severely obese children are to become obese adults and suffer the long-term health consequences of obesity. Although the efficacy of family-based behavioral weight control programs in the treatment of moderate pediatric obesity is well established, few studies have focused on the treatment of severe obesity. Thus in this application, we propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a family-based behavioral weight control program in the management of severe pediatric obesity.

Two hundred children aged 8-12 will be randomized to a six-month family-based program or usual care, and will complete assessments at pre- and post- treatment and 6-month and 12-month follow-ups. We hypothesized that: 1) Children who participate in the family-based program, when compared to children who receive usual care, will show favorable changes in body mass index, body composition, food intake, activity level, and cardiovascular risk factors. 2) Children who participate in the family-based program, when compared to children who receive usual care, will report higher levels of self-esteem, social competence and health-related quality of life, and report fewer psychiatric symptoms. A secondary aim of the the proposed investigation is to examine the relationships among gender, race, compliance to diet and exercise. level of parent adherence and treatment outcome. The proposed investigation is significant as the first effort to systematically evaluate a treatment program for severely obese children. It will provide data about a serious public health problem and establish a foundation for programmatic research to develop effective treatments for an underserved population.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of CD109 and its clinicopathological significance in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Data from TIMER2.0 and UALCAN were analyzed to assess CD109 mRNA levels in OSCC. The immunohistochemical method was used to investigate the expressions of CD109 in 20 normal oral mucosa and 75 OSCC and analyzed the relationship between the expression of CD109 and the clinical variables. The mRNA levels of CD109 in OSCC tissues were significantly higher than in adjacent normal tissues (p<0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that CD109 protein expression was increased in OSCC tissues compared to normal tissues, and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The positive rate of CD109 expression was 94% (16/117) in the group with lymph node metastasis, while it was 55% (32/58) in the group without metastasis (P<0.05). Similarly, the positive rate of CD109 expression was 91% (22/23) in the low differentiation group and 59% (26/52) in the high differentiation group (P<0.05). CD109 expression is markedly higher in OSCC, contributes to the pathological grading of OSCC and predicts lymph node metastasis.

Increased physical activity by walking further or more vigorously may prevent or delay the development of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) but reaching higher levels of activity and maintaining it as a long-term habit is difficult to do. This project will use concepts from behavioral science to create a game older adults can play in order to increase their levels of activity while having fun doing it. The game is played with a support partner who is a spouse, family member, or close friend who provides feedback and encouragement to help the game-player reach activity goals and maintain them as habits over time. Participants in the game will use their own smartphone and a wristwatch that tracks activity (such as a FitBit, provided by this study) to set goals, get feedback, and play the game for 12 weeks. Participants will be asked to continue wearing the wristwatch for another 6 weeks to track activity after the game is over. To determine the effectiveness of this game, investigators will randomly assign 50 people to the game and 50 people to only get the wristwatch but no game component. All participants in this study will be recruited from an online registry of adults age 55-75 who have not been diagnosed with Alzheimer's (GeneMatch) which offers genetic testing on risk for ADRD to all participants. Investigators will recruit participants who have elevated genetic risk as well as those without specific genetic risks for the study to see if either group responds differently to the game.
After general anesthesia, almost 90% patients have lung atelectasis. The lung atelectasis persisted even after the surgery, and caused post operative complication, for example: fever, pleural effusion, hypoxemia, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. So, how to improve lung function after the surgery is a important issue. High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy delivers adequately heated and humidified medical gas at up to 60 L/min of flow. It provides respiratory support: 1. Reduction of dead Space by clearance of expired air in the upper airways. 2. Delivering positive airway pressure. 3. delivering optimal humidity, which helps maintain function of the mucociliary transport system, clearing secretions and reducing the risk of infections. Many reports suggest that high-flow nasal cannula decreases breathing frequency and work of breathing and reduces intubation rate in critical ill patients. Although high-flow nasal cannula was used widely in intensive care unit (ICU) , there are no enough evidence in patients under general anesthesia. The hypothesis of this study is that using high-flow nasal oxygen in intravenous general anesthesia could improve lung function and prevent lung atelectasis. Liver tumor radiofrequency ablation was performed sometimes in patients under general anesthesia. Intravenous general anesthesia is one of the anesthesia choice. Oxygen mask is the traditional oxygen delivery system. Apnea, hypoxemia, and CO2 retention are common situation in intravenous general anesthesia. So high-flow nasal oxygen is an ideal oxygen delivery system in intravenous general anesthesia. This randomized control study will enroll patients receiving CT guided liver tumor radiofrequency ablation under general anesthesia. One group will receive high-flow nasal oxygen, the other group will receive traditional oxygen mask. The primary outcome is lung atelectasis area in CT scan. The secondary outcome is respiratory function (for example: arterial blood gas, lung injury biomarkers, saturation, postoperative pulmonary complication)
