Dexamethasone tablets of 4 mg encapsulated in pairs of three. One capsule containing 12 mg dexamethasone and one capsule containing placebo will be administered in the 12mg dexamethasone arm for a total dose of 12 mg of dexamethasone.
For patients who will be randomly assigned to undergo renal denervation by "The SymplicityTM Renal Denervation System", the femoral artery will be accessed with the standard endovascular technique and the catheter will be advanced into the renal artery and connected to a radiofrequency generator. As in Symplicity HTN 1 and 2 trials, four-to-six discrete, low-power radiofrequency ablations lasting up to 2 min each and of 8 watts or less to obtain up to four-six ablations separated both longitudinally and rotationally within each renal artery. During ablation, the catheter system monitored tip temperature and impedance, altering radiofrequency energy delivery in response to a predetermined algorithm.
The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus which can be worn on a body of a user. The electronic apparatus comprises first and second wearing units which can be coupled to each other and separated from each other. In this case, the first wearing unit comprises: a first sensor unit which may detect movement of the first wearing unit and which may generate first movement information; a first coupling part which may be coupled to the second wearing unit; and a first communication unit which may communicate with an external device and the second wearing unit. The second wearing unit comprises: a second coupling part which may be coupled to the first coupling part; a second sensor unit which may detect movement of the second wearing unit and which may generate second movement information; and a second communication unit which may communicate with the first wearing unit. The first wearing unit further comprises a first control unit configured to control the first communication unit to receive the second movement information from the second wearing unit and to transmit at least one of the first movement information and the second movement information to the external device when it is determined that the first coupling part is coupled to the second coupling part. The second wearing unit further comprises a second control unit configured to control the second communication unit to transmit the second movement information to the first wearing unit when it is determined that the second coupling part is coupled to the first coupling part. Accordingly, more accurate medical health information analyzed based on the movement information can be provided.
BACKGROUND: Although it is well-known that intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with physical and psychological morbidity, there is scant data on factors influencing social engagement after ICH. Understanding the relationship between functionality, psychological outcome and social engagement post-bleed may facilitate identification of patients at high risk for social isolation after ICH.
METHODS: Patients ≥18-years-old with non-traumatic ICH from January 2015-March 2023 were identified from the Neurological Emergencies Outcomes at NYU (NEON) registry. Data on discharge functionality were collected from the medical record. 3-months post-bleed, patients/their legally-authorized representatives (LARs) were contacted to complete Neuro-QoL social engagement, anxiety, depression, and sleep inventories. Patients were stratified by ability to participate in social roles and activities (good=T-score>50, poor=T-score≤50) and satisfaction with social roles and activities (high=T-score>50 and low=T-score≤50). Univariate comparisons were performed to evaluate the relationship between post-bleed social engagement and both functionality and psychological outcome using Pearson's chi-square, Fisher's Exact test, and Mann-Whitney U tests. Multivariate logistic regression was subsequently performed using variables that were significant on univariate analysis (p<0.05).
RESULTS: The social engagement inventories were completed for 55 patients with ICH; 29 (53 %) by the patient alone, 14 (25 %) by a LAR alone, and 12 (22 %) by both patient and LAR. 15 patients (27 %) had good ability to participate in social roles and activities and 10 patients (18 %) had high satisfaction with social roles and activities. Social engagement was associated with both functionality and psychological outcome on univariate analysis, but on multivariate analysis, it was only related to functionality; post-bleed ability to participate in social roles and activities was associated with discharge home, discharge GCS score, discharge mRS score, and discharge NIHSS score (p<0.05) and post-bleed satisfaction with social roles and activities was related to discharge mRS score and discharge NIHSS score (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: In patients with nontraumatic ICH, social engagement post-bleed was related to discharge functionality, even when controlling for depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.
Participants received 0.4 mg/kg etanercept twice weekly for 90 days during Part 1. In Part 2 participants were randomized to continue receiving etanercept twice weekly for up to 4 additional months.
Participants who have sleep apnea and are using positive airway pressure (PAP) with and without HIV will be enrolled if they otherwise meet all the inclusion criteria, and none of the exclusion criteria.

Subjects will undergo two overnight sleep studies (polysomnograms, PSGs) and a MRI scan of the upper airway. The first sleep study will evaluate the severity of sleep disordered breathing and will be identical to a clinical PSG. The second sleep study will measure the physiological traits most important for OSA, such as upper airway anatomy, control of breathing, sleep stability, and upper airway muscle activation. These measurements are performed while subjects sleep using PAP, but the PAP level is adjusted during the night, and the subject's response is measured. The MRI scan will be of the head and neck and will occur during the evening time. Subjects will be encouraged to sleep during this portion of the study, as well.
Patients who have previously received ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, PI3K inhibitor ACP-319, or BTK inhibitor BGB-3111 receive treatment through ongoing clinical trials at MD Anderson or standard of care. At the same time, previously collected tissue is used to develop PDX models and suitable drugs/regimens are tested in the PDX models. Patients then receive treatment based on the results of the PDX models through another clinical trial or standard of care.
In pediatric practice, POCUS (point-of-care ultrasound) has been mostly implemented to recognize lung conditions and pleural and pericardial effusions, but less to evaluate fluid depletion. The main aim of this review is to analyze the current literature on the assessment of dehydration in pediatric patients by using POCUS. The size of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and its change in diameter in response to respiration have been investigated as a tool to screen for hypovolemia. A dilated IVC with decreased collapsibility (< 50%) is a sign of increased right atrial pressure. On the contrary, a collapsed IVC may be indicative of hypovolemia. The IVC collapsibility index (cIVC) reflects the decrease in the diameter upon inspiration. Altogether the IVC diameter and collapsibility index can be easily determined, but their role in children has not been fully demonstrated, and an estimation of volume status solely by assessing the IVC should thus be interpreted with caution. The inferior vena cava/abdominal aorta (IVC/AO) ratio may be a suitable parameter to assess the volume status in pediatric patients even though there is a need to define age-based thresholds. A combination of vascular, lung, and cardiac POCUS could be a valuable supplementary tool in the assessment of dehydration in several clinical scenarios, enabling rapid identification of life-threatening primary etiologies and helping physicians avoid inappropriate therapeutic interventions.   Conclusion: POCUS can provide important information in the assessment of intravascular fluid status in emergency scenarios, but measurements may be confounded by a number of other clinical variables. The inclusion of lung and cardiac views may assist in better understanding the patient's physiology and etiology regarding volume status. What is Known: • In pediatric practice, POCUS (point-of-care ultrasound) has been mostly implemented to recognize lung conditions (like pneumonia and bronchiolitis) and pleural and pericardial effusions, but less to evaluate fluid depletion. • The size of the IVC (inferior vena cava) and its change in diameter in response to respiration have been studied as a possible screening tool to assess the volume status, predict fluid responsiveness, and assess potential intolerance to fluid loading. What is New: • The IVC diameter and collapsibility index can be easily assessed, but their role in predicting dehydration in pediatric age has not been fully demonstrated, and an estimation of volume status only by assessing the IVC should be interpreted carefully. • The IVC /AO(inferior vena cava/abdominal aorta) ratio may be a suitable parameter to assess the volume status in pediatric patients even though there is a need to define age-based thresholds. A combination of vascular, lung, and cardiac POCUS can be a valuable supplementary tool in the assessment of intravascular volume in several clinical scenarios.
PURPOSE: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is routinely treated with adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) after breast-conserving surgery (BCS). The inability to accurately estimate an individual's risk of local recurrence (LR) and invasive LR using clinicopathologic factors (CPF) contributes to the overtreatment of DCIS. We examined the impact of the 12-gene DCIS Score (DS) and the 21-gene Recurrence Score (RS) on the accuracy of predicting LR and invasive LR.
METHODS: A population-based cohort diagnosed with pure DCIS treated with BCS ± RT from 1994 to 2003 was used. All patients had expert pathology review and assessment of the DS and RS. Predictive models (CPF alone, DS + CPF, and RS + CPF) were developed using multivariable Cox regression analyses to predict 10-year LR and invasive LR risks. Models were evaluated on the basis of c-statistic, -2log likelihood estimate (-2LLE), and Akaike information criterion. Calibration was performed using bootstrap resamples, with replacement.
RESULTS: The cohort includes 1,226 women treated with BCS; 712 received RT. 194 women (15.8%) experienced ipsilateral LR as a first event; 112 were invasive. Models including the DS or RS performed better in predicting the 10-year risk of LR compared with models on the basis of CPF alone with excellent calibration. The two molecular-based models also performed better in predicting invasive LR compared with the CPF model but the model incorporating the RS did not perform better in the prediction of invasive LR compared with the DS-based model.
CONCLUSION: Models incorporating the DS or RS more accurately predicted the 10-year risk of LR and invasive LR after BCS compared with models on the basis of CPF alone. Inclusion of the RS, compared with DS, did not improve the prediction of the 10-year risk of invasive LR.
In Canada approximately 1450 children are diagnosed with cancer annually. Childhood cancer diagnosis and treatment can have devastating psychosocial effects on the family. Tools to screen for psychosocial risks (PSR) in pediatric oncology are rare. Our preliminary work adapted the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT) for the Canadian population, PATrevised (PATrev), and developed the Psychosocial Care Checklist (PCCL). The PATrev is completed by parents of children with cancer, and yields a summary of the psychosocial needs of the patient, parents, and siblings. The PCCL assesses HCPs knowledge of family's psychosocial needs and services. Importantly, psychosocial screening is associated with reduced parental anxiety and improved child's quality of life (QOL). Demonstration of the tool's ability to maximize patient and family psychosocial outcomes is needed. Participants will be parents of children newly diagnosed with cancer, (patients and siblings (\> 8 years), if available). Design: RCT with concealed allocation to experimental group (EG) and control group (CG), with repeated measures (after diagnosis= T1, 6 months later=T2). The EG treating team will receive a summary of PATrev risk information based on parent report. No risk information will be provided in the CG. Parents in both groups will complete the PATrev, family environment questionnaire, self--report and proxy reported QoL, distress and mood measures for the patient and one sibling. Patients and siblings will self-report on QOL, distress and mood. Patient charts will be reviewed (T2) to determine treatment intensity and documented psychosocial services for each family.

The ongoing high occurrence of harmful infectious diseases significantly threatens human health. Existing methods used to control such diseases primarily involve targeting the pathogens, usually neglecting the vital role of host factors in disease advancement. Gamma delta (γδ) T cells act as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity, playing a crucial role in combating pathogen invasion. Among these γδT cell subsets, which are categorized based on T cell receptor delta variable expression patterns, V delta (δ) 1+ T cells possess unique recognition abilities and regulatory characteristics and actively engage in various immune responses. The differentiation, development, and immune reactivity of Vδ1+ T cells are closely associated with the initial and progressive stages of infectious diseases. This article provides an overview of the classification, distribution, differentiation, and development of Vδ1+ T cells and their mechanisms in combating pathogenic infections, offering new insights for disease diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION     Compositions and methods for curling hair and for straightening hair are disclosed, wherein the compositions contain, as the principal active ingredient thereof, guanidine hydroxide.  The guanidine hydroxide may be conveniently prepared by reacting calcium hydroxide and guanidine carbonate.         Hair is curled by contacting the hair with the composition while the hair is on curlers, or otherwise maintained in a curled configuration.  After the desired treatment time, the hair is rinsed and neutralized, with long lasting curls of the so-called "permanent wave" nature resulting.         Hair may be straightened by contacting the hair with the composition and maintaining the hair in a generally straight configuration over at least a portion of the time that the hair is contacted by the composition.  Thereafter the hair may be rinsed and neutralized.
The artificial intelligence chatbot, Topity, is designed to target sociocultural risk and protective factors for body image using eight therapeutic techniques derived from several evidence-based theories, including media literacy, cognitive behaviour theory and positive body image. The intervention aims to engage users in techniques that teaches users how to 1) Critically analyse and evaluate media content to reduce vulnerability to negative media influences (i.e., media literacy theory; 10); 2) Identify and challenge unhelpful thinking styles and behaviours that perpetuate body image distress (i.e., cognitive behaviour theory; 11); and 3) Appreciating the features, functions and health of the body, beyond it's appearance (i.e., positive body image theory; 12). Users will be assessed on state body satisfaction and affect before and after engaging with a technique to assess the immediate impact of the micro-intervention.
Multiple infections are a key component of HPV pathogenesis and have a direct impact on how an infection turns out. It's crucial to look at the associations between HPV multiple infections and both age and HPV genotypes in the Chinese population, searching for the causative factors of multiple infections with a view to providing new ideas for the treatment and prevention of multiple infections. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the data of HPV infections among outpatients from the 2019 year to the 2021 year of Shandong Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Analyzed the correlation between HPV multiple infections and age using logistic regression. Differences in the percentage of multiple infections between age groups were compared using the chi-square test. The chi-square test compared the differences in the distribution of 15 common HPV genotypes in mono- versus multiple infections. A two-dimensional matrix presented the frequency of HPV genotype combinations. Logistics regression analysis showed that age was significantly associated with the occurrence of multiple infections, with a dominance ratio OR 1.026 (95% CI 1.02-1.04). Interestingly, the proportion of HPV multiple infections among HPV-positive individuals increases with age in people older than 30 years of age. The chi-square test showed there was a difference in the distribution of HPV genotypes between multiple infections and mono- HPV infection (χ2 = 76.4; p = 0.000), a difference in the composition of HPV genotypes for dual versus single infections (χ2 = 90.6; p = 0.000) and a difference in HPV genotypes for triple versus single infections (χ2 = 56.7; p = 0.000). A 2 × 2 matrix showed that the combination of HPV52/HPV58 (30; 6.4%) was the combination of the highest frequency of infection for dual infections; The HPV52/HPV58 (21; 4.8%) combination was the highest frequency of HPV triple infection combination. HPV multiple infections were positively correlated with age; increasing age was positively correlated with the proportion of HPV multiple infections in the total infected population; the distribution of the 15 common genotypes of HPV differed between multiple infections and single infections; and HPV52:58 was a common type of infection combination in the Shandong population.
Objectives: The primary objectives of the proposed pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be to examine: (1) the feasibility of a full RCT to evaluate the effectiveness of two popular types of physical activity (PA), a yoga training program and an aerobic dance training program, in female adolescents (13 to 18 years old) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) compared to a wait list control group; and (2) the acceptability of these interventions.

Methods: A three-arm prospective randomized open-label study with a parallel group design will be used. A total of 25 female adolescents with JIA who have pain will be randomized in a ratio of 2:2:1 to one of the three groups: 1) online yoga training program (Group A) (n=10), 2) online aerobic dance training program (Group B) (n=10) and 3) wait list control group (Group C) (n=5). Participants in groups A and B will complete three individual 1-hour sessions per week using online exercise videos, as well as one 1-hour virtual group session per week using a video-conferencing platform (GoToMeeting) for 12 weeks. These participants will also take part in weekly e-consultations with a research coordinator and discussions on Facebook with other participants. Participants from all groups will be given access to an electronic educational pamphlet on PA for arthritis developed by The Arthritis Society to review via an online platform. Feasibility (recruitment rates, self-reported adherence to the interventions, dropout rates, and percentage of missing data), acceptability and usability of Facebook and GoToMeeting will be assessed at the end of the program. Pain intensity (Primary outcome), participation in general physical activity, morning stiffness, functional status, fatigue, self-efficacy and patient global assessment will be assessed using self-administered electronic surveys at baseline, weekly until the end of the 12 weeks program.

Conclusion: To our knowledge this is the first study in paediatric patients to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga and aerobic dance as pain management interventions for female adolescents with JIA. The use of online tools such as Facebook and GoToMeeting to disseminate these two PA interventions may facilitate access to alternative methods of pain management in this population. The study design incorporates randomization and allocation concealment to ensure internal validity. To avoid intergroup contamination, the Facebook group page security settings will be set to "closed", thus only allowing invited participants to access it. Study limitations include the lack of participant blinding due to the characteristics of this physical intervention pilot randomized controlled trial and a potential bias of recruiting more severe hospital-based participants. Reporting of the study follows the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for interventional trials (SPIRIT) statement. This study can lead to a full-scale RCT.
Participants in this group will complete the baseline study activities, as described above. Additionally, participants will be instructed to create a Cue Health account and download the Cue Health App. Using the app and the 10 Cue Health COVID-19 molecular tests that are provided (or Cue Health Flu+COVID molecular tests if available and FDA authorized), the participant will perform tests after exposure or if symptoms arise. Participants can also use the test for close contacts who are exposed to COVID-19 and/or have symptoms. If COVID-19 infection occurs, participants will have access to telemedicine to discuss further with a healthcare professional. When clinically indicated, medication for the treatment of COVID-19 (and/or Influenza in case of Cue Health Flu+COVID test availability) will be prescribed and delivered to the participants' delivery address. Participants can also seek care through other healthcare providers or not seek care, at their discretion.
