BACKGROUND: Elderly patients operated for an acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) frequently have a poor outcome, with a high frequency of death, vegetative status, or severe disability (Glasgow Outcome Score [GOS] 1-3). Minicraniotomy has been proposed as a minimally invasive surgical treatment to reduce the impact of surgery in the elderly population. The present study aimed to compare the influence of the size of the craniotomy on the functional outcome in patients undergoing surgical treatment for ASDH.
METHODS: We selected patients ≥70 years old admitted to 5 Italian tertiary referral neurosurgical for the treatment of a post-traumatic ASDH between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019. We collected demographic data, clinical data (GCS, GOS, Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI], antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy, neurological deficits, seizure, pupillary size, length of stay), surgical data (craniotomy size, dividing the patients into 3 groups based on the corresponding tertile, and surgery duration), radiological data (ASDH side and thickness, midline shift, other post-traumatic lesions, extent of ASDH evacuation) and we assessed the functional outcome at hospital discharge and 6-month follow-up considering GOS=1-3 as a poor outcome. ANOVA and χ2 Tests and logistic regression models were used to assess differences in and associations between clinical-radiological characteristics and functional outcomes.
RESULTS: We included 136 patients (76 males) with a mean age of 78±6 years. Forty-five patients underwent a small craniotomy, 47 a medium size, and 44 a large craniotomy. Among the different craniotomy size groups, there were no differences in gender, anticoagulant/antithrombotic therapy, CCI, side of ASDH, ASDH thickness, preoperative GCS, focal deficits, seizures, and presence of other post-traumatic lesions. Patients undergoing small craniotomies were older than patients undergoing medium-large craniotomies; ASDH treated with medium size craniotomy were thinner than the others; patients undergoing large craniotomies showed greater midline shift and a higher rate of anisocoria. The three groups did not differ for functional outcome and postoperative midline shift, but the length of surgery and the rate of >50% of ASDH evacuation were lower in the small craniotomy group.
CONCLUSIONS: A small craniotomy was not inferior to larger craniotomies in determining functional outcomes in the treatment of ASDH in the elderly.
This document on myopia control is derived from a compilation of medical literature and the collective clinical expertise of an expert committee comprising members from the Brazilian Society of Pediatric Ophthalmology and the Brazilian Society of Contact Lenses and Cornea. To manage myopia in children, the committee recommends corneal topography and biannual visits with cycloplegic refraction, along with annual optical biometry. For fast-progressing myopia, biannual biometry should be considered. Myopic progression is defined as an annual increase in spherical equivalent greater than 0.50 D/year or in axial length greater than 0.3 mm (until 10 years old) or 0.2 mm (above 11 years). The proposed treatments for myopia progression include environmental control, low concentration atropine, defocus glasses, contact lenses, or Ortho-K lenses, and combinations of these methods may be necessary for uncontrolled cases. Treatment should be sustained for at least 2 years. This document serves as a comprehensive guideline for diagnosing, treating, and monitoring pre-myopic and myopic children in Brazil.
This study is my master's thesis that I conducted in 2018. Our prospective clinical study was approved by the Non-Interventional Ethics Committee. The study was conducted at Dentistry Prosthetic Odontotherapy Outpatient Clinic between February 2018 and April 2018. Volunteering 33 patients between the ages of 18 to 60 years and who applied clinics and were diagnosed with myofascial pain due to TMJ disorder according to Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) classification were included in the study. The patients were divided into groups using simple randomization method. There are 11 patients in groups. Blinding was ensured by patients and dentist were unaware the type of physiotherapy treatment application. Patient evaluation was repeated 3 times: before the treatment, at the end of week 1, and at the end of week 2 of the treatment.

In our study, the effects of conservative treatment options used in 'treatment of TMD on 'disease symptoms were examined compared with the control group. A 2-week follow-up was foreseen for the acute impact outcomes of the study.
Through this randomized controlled trial, we evaluate the effectiveness of three modern interventions in patients with persistent postural perceptual dizziness. In order to study the novel facets of PPPD and to cover a large research gap, it is necessary to explore the psychological and physiological aspects of PPPD. At individualized levels, this study aimed to enable patients to become more independent in their social and personal lives by overcoming stress and balance issues. Socially, it reduces stigma by raising awareness, promoting understanding, providing better health access, facilitating communities, and promoting a more supportive and inclusive environment. This research can refine rehabilitation therapies at the institutional level and enhance health care provider training. It increases treatment and resource allocation, leading to better outcomes in the field. It provides a new platform for research.
AIM: We aimed to compare the effects of microdebrider adenoidectomy, curettage adenoidectomy through oral cavity under 70°endoscope, and endoscopic transoral low-temperature ablation on adenoid hypertrophy.
METHODS: A total of 180 children suffering from adenoid hypertrophy hospitalized during November 2019 and November 2023 were allocated to group A (microdebrider adenoidectomy, n = 65), group B (curettage adenoidectomy through oral cavity under 70° nasal endoscope, n = 54), and group C (nasal endoscopic transoral low-temperature adenoid ablation, n = 61). The operation data (operation time and bleeding amount), pain score, postoperative recovery, and complications were compared.
RESULTS: The operation time of group A was significantly shorter than those of other two groups, while group C had a significantly smaller bleeding amount than those of other two groups (P < 0.05). An incidence rate of secondary bleeding at 6.15 % was detected in group A, without other complications. Group B had an adenoid residual rate of 35.19 % and a recurrence rate of 14.81 %, significantly exceeding those of other two groups (P < 0.05). The soft palate injury rate was 24.59 % in group C, which was raised significantly compared with those of other two groups (P < 0.05). In comparison to other two groups, significant increases in postoperative pain score and pain duration were detected in Group C (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference in the effective rate among the three methods. Nasal endoscopic transoral low-temperature adenoid ablation is recommended as the first choice because of small bleeding amount, few postoperative residuals, and low recurrence rate, but it poses high requirements on the operation of doctors.

The standard approach for managing advanced peritoneal metastatic gastric cancer typically involves systemic administration of antitumor drugs. In the case of HER2-positive gastric cancer patients, a combination of trastuzumab, platinum, and fluorouracil chemotherapeutic agents is commonly employed. Nevertheless, conventional therapy encounters obstacles stemming from tumor heterogeneity and the intricate microenvironment. The self-developed humanized anti-HER2 chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (human anti-HER2 CAR-M) uses an adenoviral vector system to genetically engineer autologous macrophages to express CAR molecules containing single-chain antibodies, which specifically bind to human HER2 antigens to recognize and kill tumor cells. Cell and animal experiments as well as preclinical trials showed that anti-human HER2 CAR M cells have significant anti-tumor efficacy and good safety. This study can provide abundant clinical data for the safety and feasibility of CAR macrophage therapy for solid tumors, and promote the progress of CAR macrophage therapy for solid tumors.

Artificially rearing lambs is an important component of United States sheep production as some flocks select for increasing litter size to boost productivity. However, there is a conception among shepherds that artificially reared ewe lambs will ultimately result in poor mothers since they were not naturally raised. The objective of this study was to determine if differences in maternal behavior could be detected between ewes raised artificially and those raised naturally and if dam rearing type had an impact on lamb growth performance. Forty-eight ewes were enrolled comprised of 4 equal sized groups: artificially reared primiparous, naturally reared primiparous, artificially reared multi-parous, and naturally reared multi-parous. Ewes were observed using remote cameras to record maternal behaviors toward the lambs during and shortly after parturition. Behavior of 29 ewes during the first hour after parturition was analyzed. Independent multivariable regression models were evaluated for: proportion of time spent grooming, proportion of time spent helping the lambs nurse, number of helpful bouts, and the number of negative bouts. No statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) was detected between artificially reared and naturally reared ewes for the proportion of time spent grooming and the proportion of time spent helping the lambs nurse. Historical flock data were utilized to evaluate lamb growth between artificially and naturally reared ewes. No detrimental associations between artificially reared ewes and lamb weaning weights were observed. This study shows that artificially reared ewes are no different in terms of mothering behaviors and may be used as potential replacement candidates.
We have extracted and characterized Phasa fish (Setipinna phasa) oil for the first time to evaluate the anti-obesity and related anti-inflammatory effects on obese mice. Inbred male albino BALB/c mice were segregated into three categories: control (C), Obese control group (OC), and Phasa fish oil treated group (TX). To establish the potentiality of Setipinna phasa oil for its anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory properties, it was extracted and characterized using GC-MS method. To evaluate the anti-obesity effect, different parameters were considered, such as body weight, lipid composition, obesity, and obesity associated inflammation. The physicochemical characteristics of Phasa fish oil revealed that the oil quality was good because acid value, peroxide value, p-anisidine value, Totox value, refractive index, and saponification value were within the standard value range. The GC-MS study explored the presence of fatty acids beneficial to health such as Hexadec-9-enoic acid; Octadec-11-enoic acid; EPA, DHA, Methyl Linolenate, etc. The application of Setipinna phasa oil on the treated mice group acutely lowered body weight and serum lipid profile compared to the obese group. In connection with this, leptin, FAS, and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α genes expression were downregulated in the treated group compared to the obese group. The Phasa oil treated group had an elevated expression of PPAR-α, adiponectin, LPL gene, and anti-inflammatory markers IL-10 and IL-1Ra compared to the obese group. This study suggests that Phasa fish oil, enriched with essential fatty acid, might be used as an anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory supplement.

Described is an isolated nucleic acid molecule encompassing a neocentromere or a functional derivative thereof or a latent, synthetic or hybrid form thereof and its use inter alia in developing a range of eukaryotic mini-chromosomes and artificial chromosomes including mammalian (non-human) and non-mammalian mini-chromosomes and artificial chromosomes. Further provided is a telomere-associated chromosome truncation (TACT) approach to develop mini-chromosomes, but is not limited to this approach. It is directed to any truncation approach that produces a neocentromere-containing mini-chromosome, or any transfection approach using cloned or pre-fabricated DNA that provides neocentromere function in the construction of artificial chromosome. Such mini-chromosomes and artificial chromosomes are useful in a range of genetic therapies. Figure 1B is a schematic formation of mardel(10) and NC-MiCs. Open arrows indicate the breakpoints on the normal chromosome 10 in the generation of mardel(10). The long and short arms of mardel(l0) are denoted as q' and p', respectively. The truncation events resulting in the formation of NC-MiCs 1-5 are represented by Tcl and Tc2. Location of the zeocin resistance gene inserted into mardel(l0) is indicated by an asterisk. The position of BAC B1OK1 used in a screening assay for loss of p' arm is shown. Bold lines above chromosome 10 denote the locations and designations of subchromosomal DNA paints used to characterise the NC-MiCs
The preoperative radiochemotherapy with fluorouracil followed surgery is the standard therapy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. However, the necessity of radiotherapy has been questioned for a long time especially for patients with enough circumferential margins. Moreover, indiscriminate radiotherapy will result Irreversible ovarian dysfunction for female. In the past decade, there were two major progresses for colorectal cancer. Firstly, oxaliplatin with fluorouracil has become the standard adjuvant chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer. Oxaliplatin improved the survival of colon cancer patients than single fluorouracil. Our experience showed that oxaliplatin with fluorouracil could improve the prognosis of rectal cancer without radiotherapy. It has been proven that oxaliplatin should not add to radiotherapy for rectal cancer. However, whether oxaliplatin can replace radiotherapy for certain rectal cancer patients is still unknown. Secondly, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been proven that can predict the circumferential margin status for rectal cancer. Now, preoperative MRI scan can recognize the rectal cancer patients with low recurrence risk. The radiotherapy may be omitted to the patients with low recurrence risk. This study is a randomized controlled trial to compare the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) differences of group of experiment (the patients receive primary surgery followed selective radiochemotherapy) and group of control (the patients receive indiscriminate preoperative radiochemotherapy followed surgery) for locally advanced rectal cancer with negative MRI circumferential margin.
Renal AL amyloidosis can be complicated by end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). In this study, we describe the long-term outcomes of renal AL amyloidosis patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and assess the utility of the renal staging system. Retrospective study of renal AL patients (n = 697; Mayo Clinic, Boston University) who underwent ASCT between 2003 and 2020. Renal stage was assigned based on 24-h proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate measurements. Renal survival was defined as the time from ASCT until initiation of RRT, while patients who were not placed on RRT were censored at their last follow-up. With a median follow-up of 10.4 years, RRT was required in 149 patients (21%). The median time from ASCT to ESRD was 3.4 years, with late events of progression to ESRD seen >10 years from ASCT. Pre-ASCT renal stage was significantly associated with the cumulative incidence of RRT: 3-year RRT rate was 3%, 10%, and 37% for renal stages I, II, and III, respectively. However, in the 2012-2020 period subset, a significant decrease in ESRD risk was noted across all renal stages (3-year RRT 0%, 5%, and 24%, respectively). In multivariate analysis, renal survival was independently associated with the pre-ASCT renal stage, lambda isotype, bone marrow plasmacytosis ≥20%, post-ASCT hematologic response, and year of ASCT. Long-term outcomes of renal AL amyloidosis treated with ASCT are presented. Renal stage reliably predicts renal outcomes in patients with AL undergoing ASCT, despite a reduction in the proportion of patients progressing to RRT in recent years.
Non traumatic stress-related mental illness, in this study operationalized as adjustment disorder or exhaustion disorder, is highly prevalent in the general population and associated with high societal costs relating to productivity loss. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the most well-studied psychological treatment and has demonstrated promising effects in terms of symptom reduction. The overall evidence-base for CBT for these disorders is however fairly week and access to treatment is low. In a previously published randomized controlled trial we found that internet-based CBT can yield large effects on core symptoms of stress for these disorders. Delivering CBT via the internet has the large advantage of enabling increased accessibility as each therapist can have up to 80 patients in ongoing treatment. In the previously conducted trial we compared the treatment to a waitlist control and between-group comparisons of treatment effects were only done at post-treatment as the waitlist condition was crossed over to treatment after this time point. It is now therefore important to take the next step and investigate the effects of internet-based CBT in comparison to an active control condition. The primary aim of this study was to compare two internet-based treatments, CBT vs. structured treatment-as-usual, for adjustment disorder and exhaustion disorder.
