This study is a single-blind prospective randomized trial with 150 patient/caregiver pairs (50 in each country). Eligibility criteria at baseline require that the primary caregiver is the spouse of the patient; the patient must have a diagnosis of AD, be in the in mild to moderate stage of dementia, be living with the caregiver, and be willing to take Donepezil (Aricept). These participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: in one group, the intervention consists of drug treatment for the patient plus psychosocial intervention for the caregiver; in the other group the intervention consists solely of drug treatment for the patient.

The intervention for the caregiver consists of 5 scheduled individual and family counseling sessions within 3 months of baseline, and unlimited consultations on request. Assessments were conducted every 3 months for the first year and every 6 months for a second year. There are 3 sources of data: an interview of the caregiver by an independent rater, an assessment of the patient, and a count of the amount of medication used. Thus we will be able to assess the effect of adding counseling to medication for the caregiver, for the patient, and on compliance with medication use.

Indium In 111 Oxyquinoline Solution is indicated for radiolabeling autologous leukocytes.

Indium In 111 oxyquinoline labeled leukocytes may be used as an adjunct in the detection of inflammatory processes to which leukocytes migrate, such as those associated with abscesses or other infection, following reinjection and detection by appropriate imaging procedures. The degree of accuracy may vary with labeling techniques and with the size, location and nature of the inflammatory process.

Indium In 111 oxyquinoline labeled leukocyte imaging is not the preferred technique for the initial evaluation of patients with a high clinical probability of an abscess in a known location. Ultrasound or computed tomography may provide a better anatomical delineation of the infectious process and information may be obtained more quickly than with labeled leukocytes. If localization by these techniques is successful, labeled leukocytes should not be used as a confirmatory procedure. If localization or diagnosis by these methods fails or is ambiguous, indium In 111 oxyquinoline labeled leukocyte imaging may be appropriate.
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has offset some of the gains achieved in global health, particularly in relation to maternal, child health and nutrition. As pregnancy is a period of plasticity where insults acting on maternal environment have far-reaching consequences, the pandemic has had a significant impact on prenatal outcomes, intrauterine and postnatal development of infants. This research will investigate both the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during pregnancy on prenatal outcomes, growth and development in early childhood.
METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Community and hospital data in Hyderabad and Gujarat, India will be used to recruit women who were pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic and contracted SARS-CoV-2 infection. In comparison with women who were pregnant around the same time and did not contract the virus, the study will investigate the impact of the pandemic on access to healthcare, diet, nutrition, mental health and prenatal outcomes in 712 women (356 per study arm). Children born to the women will be followed prospectively for an 18-month period to investigate the impact of the pandemic on nutrition, health, growth and neurocognition in early childhood.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was granted from the institutional ethics committees of the Indian Institute of Public Health Gandhinagar (SHSRC/2021/2185), Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Nutrition (EC/NEW/INST/2021/1206), and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (72848). The findings of the study will be disseminated to policy and research communities through engagements, scientific conferences, seminars, and open-access, peer-reviewed publication.
BACKGROUND: Heightened risks of dependence, addiction, anxiolytic effects, or prescription overdose death due to long-term use of pain medication have increased awareness about extended pain medication use in chronic pain populations. The goal of this study was to evaluate the incidence and prevalence of pain medication prescriptions from 2012 to 2022 in common pathologies with a potential for chronic pain.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using electronic health records from TriNetX (Cambridge, Massachusetts) Global Collaborative Network. For 10 distinct cohorts (total n = 9,357,584 patients), pain medication prescriptions were extracted for five classes, namely nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen, opioids, gabapentinoids, neuropathic mood agents, and muscle relaxants. Annual incidence and prevalence of each class of medication were evaluated for the past 11 yr.
RESULTS: From 2012 to 2022, there was a significant increase in prescriptions of NSAIDs, except for patients with fibromyalgia, and persistent spinal pain syndrome (PSPS) type 2. Interestingly, over time, prescriptions of opioids in patients with complex regional pain syndrome, endometriosis, osteoarthritis, and PSPS type 2 increased, as did prescriptions of muscle relaxants for all cohorts except those with fibromyalgia. Incidence of prescriptions of neuropathic mood agents is high for patients with complex regional pain syndrome (both types) and PSPS type 2. Only for benzodiazepines did there seem to be a decline over the years, with a significantly decreased time trend in patients with complex regional pain syndrome type 1, fibromyalgia, and PSPS type 2.
CONCLUSIONS: During the last 11 yr, an increase in incidence of NSAIDs and acetaminophen, opioids, neuropathic agents, and muscle relaxants was observed. Only prescriptions of benzodiazepines significantly decreased over time in specific cohorts. Overall, patients with PSPS type 2 and complex regional pain syndrome (both types) consume a broad variety of pain medication classes.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an iodine maps-based radiomics nomogram for preoperatively predicting cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 278 patients who pathologically confirmed as HNSCC were retrospectively recruited from two medical centers between June 2012 and July 2022. The training set (n = 152) and internal set (n = 67) were randomly selected from medical center A, and the patients from medical center B were enrolled as the external set (n = 69). The minority group in the training set was balanced by the adaptive synthetic sampling (ADASYN) approach. Radiomics features were extracted from dual-energy CT-derived iodine maps at arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP), respectively. Three radiomics signatures were constructed to predict the LNM by using a random forest algorithm. The independent clinical predictors for LNM were identified by multivariate analysis and combined with radiomics signatures to establish a radiomic-clinical nomogram. The performance of radiomic-clinical nomogram was evaluated with respect to its discrimination and clinical usefulness.
RESULTS: The AP-VP-incorporated radiomics model exhibited a great predictive performance for LNM prediction with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.885 (95% CI, 0.836-0.933) in ADASYN-training set and confirmed in all validation sets. The nomogram that incorporated AP-VP radiomics signatures, CT-reported LN status, and histological grades yielded AUCs of 0.920 (95% CI, 0.881-0.959) in ADASYN-training set, 0.858 (95% CI, 0.771-0.944) in internal validation, and 0.849 (95% CI, 0.752-0.946) in external validation, with good calibration in all cohorts (p > 0.05). Decision curve analyses indicated the nomogram was clinically useful. In addition, the predictive performance of clinical-radiomics nomogram was also validation in combing cohorts. Stratified analysis confirmed the stability of nomogram, particularly in group negative for CT-reported LNM.
CONCLUSION: Clinical-radiomics nomogram based on iodine maps exhibited promising performance in predicting LNM and providing valuable information for making individualized therapy decisions.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With obesity affecting over one billion people globally, understanding and managing this complex condition is more crucial than ever. This review explores the emerging role of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in weight management, focusing on their impact on energy balance. It highlights the necessity of this investigation due to the limited knowledge on both the short-term and long-term implications of GLP-1RA on energy expenditure (EE) and energy intake (EI).
RECENT FINDINGS: GLP-1RA, such as liraglutide and semaglutide, have shown significant efficacy in promoting weight loss by reducing appetite, cravings and consequently, EI. Newer medications such as tirzepatide have demonstrated even greater weight loss success. Emerging evidence also suggests potential effects on EE, which could explain the greater weight loss success achieved with GLP-1 RA rather than typical lifestyle changes. However, comprehensive data on the total impact of these drugs on energy balance remain limited.
SUMMARY: The findings underscore the promising role of GLP-1RA in obesity management, particularly through mechanisms influencing both EI and EE. Future research should focus on systematically measuring all components of energy balance to fully elucidate the mechanisms of GLP-1RA and optimize their therapeutic use for personalized medicine.

Vascular surgery is thought as the highest risk procedure in the context of cardiac complications. The range may include acute coronary syndrome, acute circulatory failure, severe arrhythmias, syncope and sudden cardiac death. The patient population is considered as a high risk, too. Popular calculators used for risk stratifications are based on preoperative patient's history and some general laboratory results. However, general status of the patient changes dynamically during vascular procedures leading to acquired increased risk. For this reason, sole preoperative risk prediction based on standard calculators is unsuitable and suboptimal. Advanced monitoring systems may record some temporary disturbances (e.g. ventricular repolarization disturbances), which may be asymptomatic. The clinical significance in postoperative risk prediction of such observations remains undefined. On the other hand, many of perioperative cardiac complications are caused by modifiable factors. The identification may help in the global perioperative risk reduction.
<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that a conventional wrap pack requires packing work itself and opening work for holes in a wrap as well, resulting in troublesomeness for packing.  <P>SOLUTION: In a wrap pack 100, a measure enough to be required for packing is drawn and cut in a specified length with teeth of a cover 5 of a case 3. The wrap 2 is so placed that a small-hole line 4 lies on perforations, then the line 4 is divided to open holes in the portions of the perforations. According to the wrap pack 100, the holes can be easily open in the wrap 2 without scissors. Cutting the wrap 2 along the line 4 allows the width of the wrap 2 to be narrower easily. Thereby, packing itself can be easily conducted. Also, a simple constitution of the wrap pack 100 allows manufacturing costs to be inexpensive.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

INTRODUCTION: The left ventricular summit (LVS) is the highest point on the epicardial surface of the left ventricle. A part of the LVS that is located between the left coronary arteries (lateral-LVS) is one of the major sites of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia (VA) origins. Some idiopathic epicardial VAs can be ablated at endocardial sites adjacent to the epicardial area septal to the lateral-LVS (septal-LVS). This study examined the prevalence and electrocardiographic and electrophysiological characteristics of septal-LVS VAs.
METHODS: We studied consecutive patients with idiopathic VAs originating from the LVS (67 patients) and aortic root (93 patients).
RESULTS: Based on the ablation results, among 67 LVS VAs, 54 were classified as lateral and 13 as septal-LVS VAs. As compared with the lateral-LVS VAs, the septal-LVS VAs were characterized by a greater prevalence of left bundle branch block with left inferior-axis QRS pattern, later precordial transition, lower R-wave amplitude ratio in leads III to II, lower Q-wave amplitude ratio in leads aVL to aVR, and later local ventricular activation time relative to the QRS onset during VAs (V-QRS) in the great cardiac vein. The electrocardiographic and electrophysiological characteristics of the septal-LVS VAs were similar to those of the aortic root VAs. However, the V-QRS at the successful ablation site was significantly later during the septal-LVS VAs than aortic root VAs (p < .0001). The precordial transition was significantly later during the septal-LVS VAs than aortic root VAs (p < .05).
CONCLUSIONS: Septal-LVS VAs are considered a distinct subgroup of idiopathic VAs originating from the left ventricular outflow tract.
This is a clinical trial aiming to assess the effect of fasting diet on chemotherapy - induced toxicities in breast cancer patients. The study will have an intevention group and a control group. The intervention group will follow a fasting diet for 60 hours (36h prior chemotherapy and 24h after the end of chemotherapy), while the control group will follow regular diet. At the meantime of the chemotherapy cycles, the intervention group will be recommended to follow the Mediterranean diet. The patients will be randomized in the two groups. A total of 50 patients is required. Biochemical data, anthropometric measures and grading of toxicity according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, nutritional habits, adherence to the Mediterranean diet (implementation of MedDietScore) will be assessed prior, during and after the intervention, in both groups. Nutritional counseling will be performed by Registered Dietitian, and telephone interviews will be used to record adherence to fasting diet and Mediterranean diet.

The main questions this study is aiming to answer is whether short term fasting diet influences chemotherary - induced toxicities and if it is easy to be implemented.
The study is a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial comparing two methods of postoperative analgesia following primary TKA. Eligible primary TKA patients must be ASA I - III and require less than 20 mg oxycodone daily (or its equivalent). Exclusion criteria are: allergy to anesthetics, contraindication to regional anesthesia, sensory/motor disorder involving operative limb, non-english speaking, ASA IV or greater, psychiatric or cognitive disorders, incarceration, renal insufficiency with Cr \> 2.0 and hepatic failure. When patients agree to participate in the study the following data will be collected by the research staff: ASA physical status, age, height, weight, gender, quantitative opiate use, numeric pain score with visual descriptors, painDETECT score (form included), WOMAC score (form included) and baseline Pain Management Questionnaire. When designated through randomization, intra-articular catheters will be placed intraoperatively by the surgeons, per usual protocol. ACC's will be placed postoperatively in the PACU. The catheters will exit the bandage in a similar fashion to blind the personnel collecting data, postoperatively. Those collecting data will not be blinded from identifying patients in the control group, as no catheter will exit the bandage. Potential risks for each procedure, which will be explained to the patient, include: bleeding, local infection, local anesthetic toxicity in the form of seizure and cardiac arrest and neuropathy. The preceding are commonly listed though infrequent complications of both procedures. Continuous ultrasound will guide the placement of the ACC.
