BACKGROUND: Pain, the primary complaint in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is multifaceted, and may be driven by inflammatory disease activity and central sensitisation. We aimed to ascertain what proportion of RA pain severity is explained by markers of inflammation and quantitative sensory testing (QST) indices of central sensitisation.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analysis of data from individuals with clinically active RA. Pain severity was assessed using numerical rating scales and inflammation via 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) and Ultrasound (Greyscale, Power Doppler). Pain sensitivity was assessed by 'static' (tibialis anterior or brachioradialis pressure pain detection threshold-PPT-TA/PPT-BR) and 'dynamic' (temporal summation-TS, conditioned pain modulation-CPM) QST. Bivariate associations used Spearman's correlation coefficients, and multivariable linear regression models determined relative contributions to pain severity.
RESULTS: In bivariate analyses of N = 96 (age 65 ± 10y, 77% females) people with RA, pain severity was significantly associated with inflammation indices (r = 0.20 to 0.55), and CPM (r=-0.26). In multivariable models that included TS, CPM, age, sex, and body mass index, inflammation indices remained significantly associated with pain severity. Multivariable models explained 22 to 27% of pain variance. Heterogeneity was apparent for associations with pain between subscores for pain now, strongest or average over the past 4-weeks.
CONCLUSIONS: In individuals with clinically active RA, markers of inflammatory disease activity best explain RA pain with only marginal contributions from QST indices of central sensitisation. Although inflammation plays a key role in the experience of RA pain, the greater proportion of pain severity remains unexplained by DAS28 and ultrasound indices of inflammation.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm that is genetically characterized by the presence of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. Variant Ph translocation has been observed in 5% to 10% of the CML cases. In the previous studies, many different types of variant Ph translocations have been observed involving chromosomes 1p36, 3p21, 5q13, 6p21, 9q22, 11q13, 12p13, 17p13, and 10p15. According to the published literature, only two cases with the complex translocations involving long arm of chromosome 16 at band q24 have been reported. We report two female patients with complex translocation (three-way) involving chromosomes 9, 22, and 16 at breakpoint q24 and both patients responded well to Imatinib. The present study included 469 patients of clinically diagnosed CML patients who were referred for cytogenetic analysis to our laboratory. Cytogenetic analysis was performed by GTG banding, and the karyotype was designated according to the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was performed for complex and variant BCR-ABL cases. Of total 469 cases, 248 patients showed classical Ph chromosome [t(9;22)(q34;q11.2)], 198 cases were normal, and 23 patients had variant and complex Ph chromosome translocation. Two patients showed three-way translocation involving long arm of chromosomes 9, 22, and 16 at band 9q34, 22q11.2, and 16q24. In this report, patients with variant Ph translocation did not have a significantly different outcome as compared to the classical translocation. Both cases responded well to Imatinib.
No carcinogenic effect was observed in studies of 78 weeks in mice at doses more than 150 times the maximum recommended human dose and 102 weeks in rats at doses more than 100 times the maximum recommended human dose. In a variety of test models, guanfacine was not mutagenic.

No adverse effects were observed in fertility studies in male and female rats.

Pregnancy 

Administration of guanfacine to rats at 70 times the maximum recommended human dose and to rabbits at 20 times the maximum recommended human dose resulted in no evidence of harm to the fetus. Higher doses (100 and 200 times the maximum recommended human dose in rabbits and rats respectively) were associated with reduced fetal survival and maternal toxicity. Rat experiments have shown that guanfacine crosses the placenta.

There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Contain 75 pregnant women will recommended to take ferrous fumarate e.g. Hema-caps (ferrous fumarate 350 mg with elemental iron 115mg) prepared by another egyptian pharmaceutical company (Amoun pharmaceutical company) once daily but in sever cases of iron deficiency anemia (Hb\<9g/dl) this dose can be doubled as recommended by the company of the product.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the involvement of the visual cortex in improving freezing of gait (FoG) after subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using whole-brain seed-based functional connectivity.
METHODS: A total of 66 PD patients with FoG who underwent bilateral STN-DBS were included in our study. Patients were divided into a FoG responder group and an FoG nonresponder group according to whether FoG improved 1 year after DBS. We compared the differences in clinical characteristics, brain structural imaging, and seed-based functional connectivity between the 2 groups. The locations of active contacts were further analyzed.
RESULTS: All PD patients benefited from STN-DBS. No significant differences in the baseline characteristics or brain structures were found between the 2 groups. Seed-based functional connectivity analysis revealed that better connectivity in bilateral primary visual areas was associated with better clinical improvement in FoG (P < 0.05 familywise error corrected). Further analysis revealed that this disparity was associated with the location of the active contacts within the rostral region of the sensorimotor subregion in the FoG responder group, in contrast to the findings in the FoG nonresponder group.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested that DBS in the rostral region of the STN sensorimotor subregion may alleviate FoG by strengthening functional connectivity in primary visual areas, which has significant implications for guiding surgical strategies for FoG in the future.
OBJECTIVES: The prevalence of overweight increases the risk of several non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and, consequently, the costs of health care systems. In this study, we aimed to project the economic burden of NCDs attributable to overweight in Brazil between 2021 and 2030.
METHODS: A cohort simulation of adults (17-117 years) using multistate lifetable modeling was used to estimate the costs of NCDs attributable to overweight in Brazil. The projections of direct health care costs (outpatient and inpatient expenses in the Unified Health System) and indirect costs (years of productive life lost) considered different trajectories of the prevalence of overweight between 2021 and 2030.
RESULTS: In 2019, the prevalence of overweight was 55.4% in the adult Brazilian population. We estimate that around 1.8 billion international dollars (Int$) would be spent on the direct health care cost of NCDs between 2021 and 2030, through the continued increase in overweight prevalence observed between 2006 and 2020. The indirect costs over the same time would be approximately 20.1 billion Int$. We estimate that halving the annual increase in body mass index slope from the beginning of 2021 until 2030 would save 20.2 million Int$ direct and indirect costs by 2030. In the scenario of keeping the prevalence of overweight observed in 2019 constant until 2030, the savings would be 40.8 million Int$. Finally, in the scenario of a 6.7% reduction in the prevalence of overweight observed in 2019 (to be achieved gradually until 2030), 74.1 million Int$ would be saved.
CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight the high economic burden of overweight in the Brazilian adult population.
Glioma is the highest incidence of the central nervous system tumor. Surgical treatment is one of the most important therapeutic methods in patients with glioblastoma. But since malignant glioma is a highly invasive tumor, the rate of surgery failure is . So the postoperative therapy shall be accompanied by radiotherapy. Since 1998, the clinical application of Temozolomide(TMZ) has brought hope for malignant glioma patients with its definite curative effect. According to the results of several clinical studies, TMZ synchronous plus radiotherapy and subsequent as adjuvant therapy can significantly improve the survival rate of newly diagnosed GBM patients and break the survival limit of malignant glioma patients. Besides, antiangiogenic therapy is also a choice for the treatment of glioblastoma patients. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) inhibitors block the new formation around the tumor and cut down the supply of oxygen, nutrients and metabolic waste, so that the tumor is hard to proliferate and metastases.
There is accumulating evidence that shows that the placement of hematopoietic cells in the brain may increase growth-enhancing factors of axons and generate active neurons in the receptor. It has been found that after introducing hematopoietic cells in the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord, these cells may be transported through the cerebrospinal fluid and can be deliver more efficiently to the injured area, when compared to the intravenous route. Patients will be stimulated 4 times and then harvest the bone marrow. Bone marrow will be processed in order to obtain hematopoietic cells (CD34+) and minimize the erythrocytes amount. A inoculum of 5 to 10mL of stem cells will be infused intrathecally. Patients will be evaluated with the "Battelle Developmental Inventory" before the procedure and one and six months after that. An MRI will be performed before the procedure and six months after that.
Participants will have macular telangiectasia type 2 as confirmed by the reading center. Participants will take 10 mg of zeaxanthin per day.
INTRODUCTION: The role of visceral fat in disease development, particularly in Crohn´s disease (CD), is significant. However, its preoperative prognostic value for postoperative complications and CD relapse after ileocecal resection (ICR) remains unknown. This study aims to assess the predictive potential of preoperatively measured visceral and subcutaneous fat in postoperative complications and CD recurrence using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The primary endpoint was postoperative anastomotic leakage of the ileocolonic anastomosis, with secondary endpoints evaluating postoperative complications according to the Clavien Dindo classification and CD recurrence at the anastomosis.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 347 CD patients who underwent ICR at our tertiary referral center between 2010 and 2020. We included 223 patients with high-quality preoperative MRI scans, recording demographics, postoperative outcomes, and CD recurrence rates at the anastomosis. To assess adipose tissue distribution, we measured total fat area (TFA), visceral fat area (VFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and abdominal circumference (AC) at the lumbar 3 (L3) level using MRI cross-sectional images. Ratios of these values were calculated.
RESULTS: None of the radiological variables showed an association with anastomotic leakage (TFA p = 0.932, VFA p = 0.982, SFA p = 0.951, SFA/TFA p = 0.422, VFA/TFA p = 0.422), postoperative complications, or CD recurrence (TFA p = 0.264, VFA p = 0.916, SFA p = 0.103, SFA/TFA p = 0.059, VFA/TFA p = 0.059).
CONCLUSIONS: Radiological visceral obesity variables were associated with postoperative outcomes or clinical recurrence in CD patients undergoing ICR. Preoperative measurement of visceral fat measurement is not specific for predicting postoperative complications or CD relapse.
Using epidemiological, statistical, and molecular genetic techniques, this proposal is designed to investigate the existence of genetic regions that are believed to confer a risk for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which consists of two subtypes, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The project will derive its study population, consisting of IBD physician confirmed affected probands with their family members, from the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Pittsburgh. The project will consist of multiple parts. The first part is a reanalysis of existing genome wide linkage data from IBD families with 377 genotyped microsatellite marker data that incorporates covariate data into the analysis, with the goal of identifying new and refining previously identified regions of linkage. Eventually this may be extended to include new families typed for genome wide scan markers. The second part of the project consists of the fine mapping of the IBD3 locus (HLA region on chromosome 6p), which has been shown to have evidence of linkage in UC patients. Fifty-two microsatellite markers spanning the affected child trios in an effort to identify potential marker alleles that may be associated with UC, using the IBD3 locus will be genotyped in a study population consisting of 240 UC father-mother-affected child trios in an effort to identify potential marker alleles that may be associated with UC, using the transmission disequilibrium test, and to identify potential haplotypes that may confer an increased risk of developing UC, using a likelihood-based approach where a moving window of adjacent markers will be tested for excessive transmission. Additional candidate genes within IBD3 will be examined, and polymorphisms will also be tested for potential significant associations. Eventually this second part may be extended to fine mapping and association analysis of other candidate genes and/or candidate regions.

Patients do not respond favorably to two antidepressants. The subjects get clinical evaluation, blood sample collection, magnetic resonance scanning, and electrophysiological monitoring. Regimen: Receiving TIS intervention with target A (Characteristic abnormal brain region targets based on data-driven exploration) for 10 times, once a day (except weekends and holidays) for 2 weeks. Stimulation（130Hz, 2mA total current intensity, each stimulation lasts for 30 minutes, 15 seconds respectively for import and exit).
In clinical studies, a dose-dependent increase in suicidal ideation was observed in patients taking BELSOMRA as assessed by questionnaire. Immediately evaluate patients with suicidal ideation or any new behavioral sign or symptom.

In primarily depressed patients treated with sedative-hypnotics, worsening of depression, and suicidal thoughts and actions (including completed suicides) have been reported. Suicidal tendencies may be present in such patients and protective measures may be required. Intentional overdose is more common in this group of patients; therefore, the lowest number of tablets that is feasible should be prescribed for the patient at any one time.

The emergence of any new behavioral sign or symptom of concern requires careful and immediate evaluation.

The abundance of Lp(a) protein holds significant implications for the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is directly impacted by the copy number (CN) of KIV-2, a 5.5 kbp sub-region. KIV-2 is highly polymorphic in the population and accurate analysis is challenging. In this study, we present the DRAGEN KIV-2 CN caller, which utilizes short reads. Data across 166 WGS show that the caller has high accuracy, compared to optical mapping and can further phase approximately 50% of the samples. We compared KIV-2 CN numbers to 24 previously postulated KIV-2 relevant SNVs, revealing that many are ineffective predictors of KIV-2 copy number. Population studies, including USA-based cohorts, showed distinct KIV-2 CN, distributions for European-, African-, and Hispanic-American populations and further underscored the limitations of SNV predictors. We demonstrate that the CN estimates correlate significantly with the available Lp(a) protein levels and that phasing is highly important.
The study of single-dose was randomized, three-period, crossover. And in this study, 12 subjects were randomly assigned to 3 dose groups and received a single dose of 10mg, 20mg and 40mg lafutidine tablets. The washout period was 7 calendar days. In the multiple-dose, 12 subjects took lafutidine tablets of 10 mg twice a day for 6 consecutive days. In the food-effect study, 12 subjects were randomly assigned to 2 groups. One group received a single dose of 10mg lafutidine tablets under fasted condition, while the other were in fed condition.
