Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor in digestive system diseases. Currently, the Correa cascade is a widely accepted model of gastric carcinogenesis. Intestinal metaplasia is a high risk factor for gastric cancer and is considered a precancerous condition of intestinal type gastric cancer. According to Sydney criteria, mild intestinal metaplasia was not associated with gastric cancer, while moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia was strongly associated with the development of gastric cancer. Because intestinal metaplasia is distributed in various forms, the use of white light endoscopy lacks specificity, and the consistency with histopathological diagnosis is poor; Pathological biopsy is still needed to make a diagnosis. At present, our national guidelines suggest that OLGIM score should be used to evaluate the risk of gastric cancer, and patients with OLGIM grade III/IV should be monitored by close gastroscopy. However, it requires at least four biopsies, which is clinically infeasible. Confocal laser endomicroscopy allows real-time observation of living tissue, comparable to pathological findings. Therefore, we established artificial intelligence-assisted confocal laser endoscope technology to determine the high risk of gastric cancer in real time, instead of tissue biopsy.

BACKGROUND: ARASENS was a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial comparing darolutamide + docetaxel + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with placebo + docetaxel + ADT in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
OBJECTIVE: To use clinical trial data from ARASENS to understand whether the addition of darolutamide to docetaxel + ADT leads to increased hospitalizations and to estimate the budget impact on the US health care system.
METHODS: We used mixed-effects negative binomial regression to estimate hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates and length of hospital stay (LoHS) counts. Hospitalization rates were estimated per treatment arm for the period during and after administration of docetaxel. Based on these estimates, a budget impact analysis evaluated the hospitalization costs (including ICU admissions) and standalone ICU hospitalization costs for the totality of the US population over a 5-year time horizon. The analysis compared a scenario without darolutamide vs one with darolutamide included in the US payer formulary. Hospitalization estimates were varied in a one-way sensitivity analysis.
RESULTS: The first 4 months of treatment (when patients were receiving docetaxel) were associated with increased hospitalizations across both arms. The addition of darolutamide was associated with a numerical reduction in the rate of hospitalization (per year) due to any reason both during docetaxel treatment (1.01 visits per year [95% CI = 0.82-1.20] vs 1.18 visits per year [95% CI = 0.96-1.41]) and after docetaxel treatment (0.28 visits per year [95% CI = 0.23-0.34] vs 0.33 visits per year [95% CI = 0.27-0.40]). Darolutamide was associated with a marginally longer LoHS per hospitalization compared with placebo (+1.90 days per year) both during and after docetaxel treatment. ICU admissions were low in the ARASENS data; admission rates were assumed to be the same during and after docetaxel treatment. ICU admission rate estimates were equivalent across arms (0.02 visits per year [95% CI = 0.01-0.03]). The budget impact per treated member per month represents a cost-neutral option after Year 5 with a cumulative budget impact of -$9.71.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of darolutamide to docetaxel + ADT was associated with a numerically lower rate of hospitalization but marginally longer LoHS compared with docetaxel + ADT alone. Darolutamide represents a cost-neutral alternative per treated member per month compared with docetaxel + ADT with regard to hospitalizations at the end of a 5-year time horizon.
BACKGROUND: The South Korean government implemented a multidisciplinary nutritional support team (NST) system to focus on the proper evaluation and supply of nutritional status in hospitalized patients who are at a higher risk of malnutrition.
METHODS: This nationwide population-based cohort study included patients diagnosed with sepsis who were admitted to hospitals from 2016 to 2020. The NST should consist of four professional personnel (physicians, full-time nurses, full-time pharmacists, and full-time clinical dietitians). The NST group included patients with sepsis admitted to a hospital with an NST system, whereas the non-NST group included patients with sepsis admitted to a hospital without an NST system.
RESULTS: A total of 323,841 patients with sepsis were included in the final analysis, and 120,274 (37.1%) admitted to a hospital with an NST system were included in the NST group. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, the NST group showed a 15% lower 90-day mortality than the non-NST group (hazard ratio [HR]:0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.83, 0.86; P < 0.001). The NST group shows 11% lower 1-year all-cause mortality than the non-NST group (HR:0.89, 95% CI:0.87, 0.90; P < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, a more evident association of the NST group with lower 90-day mortality was shown in the intensive care unit admission group and age ≥65 years old group.
CONCLUSIONS: Multidisciplinary NST intervention is associated with improved survival outcomes in patients with sepsis. Moreover, this association was more evident in patients with sepsis aged ≥65 years old who were admitted to the ICU.
<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sustained-release form of bioabsorbable/resorbable medication, capable of realizing a long-term administration of an activator for treating arthralgia and other arthropathy of a human or an animal.  <P>SOLUTION: A device in a form of a prosthetic joint implant used for releasing a therapeutic agent in a body space has a first part, such as a part having a shaft and contacting with bone tissue in an intramedullary canal of a long bone. The implant has a second part which extends into the body space, such as a joint space. A joint component has a reservoir filled with a bioabsorbable/resorbable polymer containing the therapeutic agent.

BACKGROUND: Moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) affects over 30 million children aged < 5 years worldwide. MAM may confer a greater risk of developing severe malnutrition and even mortality in children. Assessing risk factors for MAM may allow for earlier recognition of children at risk of deleterious health outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: To determine risk factors associated with the prevalence and development of MAM among children aged 6 to 59 months with acute diarrhoea who received treatment with oral rehydration solution and zinc supplementation.
METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a randomized, dose-finding trial of zinc among children with acute diarrhoea in India and Tanzania. We used regression models to assess risk factors for prevalent MAM at the start of diarrhoea treatment and to identify risk factors associated with the development of MAM at 60 days. MAM was defined as weight for length (or height) Z score ≤-2 and > -3 or mid-upper arm circumference < 12.5 and ≥ 11.5 cm.
RESULTS: A total of 4,500 children were enrolled; 593 (13.2%) had MAM at the baseline. MAM at baseline was significantly less common among children in Tanzania than in India (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.30, 0.44, P < 0.001), in children aged 24- < 60 months versus 6- < 12 months (aRR 0.46, 95% CI: 0.38, 0.56, P < 0.001), and in families with household wealth index higher than the median (aRR 0.79, 95% CI: 0.68, 0.92, P = 0.002). Sixty days after outpatient treatment and follow-up, 87 (2.5%) children developed MAM. When compared to children aged 6- < 12 months, children aged 24- < 60 months had a 52% lower risk of developing MAM. Every one unit increase in weight for length (or height) Z score at enrolment was associated with a 93% lower risk of developing MAM during follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Among children with diarrhoea, younger children and those from households with lower wealth were at greater risk of MAM. These children may benefit from targeted interventions focusing on feeding (targeted nutrition support for at-risk households) and follow up in order to reduce the occurrence of MAM and its consequences.
Patients receive botensilimab IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, balstilimab IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29 of each cycle, and regorafenib PO QD on days 1-7, 15-21, and 29-35 of each cycle or on days 1-5, 15-19, and 29-33 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 42 days for up to 2 cycles of botensilimab and up to 2 years of balstilimab and regorafenib in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT or MRI and blood sample collection throughout the trial. Patients also undergo tumor biopsy during screening and on study.
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is a preventable cancer; however, decreasing its prevalence requires early detection and treatment strategies that reduce rates of loss to follow-up. This study explores factors associated with loss to follow-up among HPV-positive women after implementation of a new HPV-based screen-and-treat approach for cervical cancer prevention in Iquitos, Peru.
METHODS: We conducted semi-structured interviews with "obstetras" (i.e., midwives) (n = 15) working in cervical cancer prevention and women (n = 24) who were recorded as lost to follow-up after positive HPV results. We used the Health Care Access Barriers Model to guide analyses. We utilized manifest content analysis to describe barriers to follow-up according to the obstetras and thematic analysis to report themes from the women's perspectives. We also report the steps and time taken to contact women.
RESULTS: We found an incomplete and fragmented patient monitoring system. This incomplete system, in conjunction with challenges in contacting some of the women, led to structural barriers for the obstetras when attempting to deliver positive results. Women in this study expressed a desire to receive treatment, however, faced cognitive barriers including a lack of understanding about HPV results and treatment procedures, fear or anxiety about HPV or treatment, and confusion about the follow-up process. Women also reported having important work matters as a barrier and reported frequently using natural medicine. Reported financial barriers were minimal.
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the barriers to follow-up after implementation of a primary-level HPV-based screen-and-treat approach. While some barriers that have previously been associated with loss to follow-up were not as prominently observed in this study (e.g., financial), we emphasize the need for screen-and-treat programs to focus on strategies that can address incomplete registry systems, structural challenges in results delivery, cognitive barriers in understanding results and treatment, and work-related barriers.
The coinfection of ALVs (ALV-J plus ALV-A or/and ALV-B) has played an important role in the incidence of tumors recently found in China in local breeds of yellow chickens. The study aims to obtain a better knowledge of the function and relevance of ALV coinfection in the clinical disease of avian leukosis, as well as its unique effect on the pathogenicity in Three-yellow chickens. One-day-old Three-yellow chicks (one day old) were infected with ALV-A, ALV-B, and ALV-J mono-infections, as well as ALV-A + J, ALV-B + J, and ALV-A + B + J coinfections, via intraperitoneal injection, and the chicks were then grown in isolators until they were 15 weeks old. The parameters, including the suppression of body weight gain, immune organ weight, viremia, histopathological changes and tumor incidence, were observed and compared with those of the uninfected control birds. The results demonstrated that coinfection with ALVs could induce more serious suppression of body weight gain (P < 0.05), damage to immune organs (P < 0.05) and higher tumor incidences than monoinfection, with triple infection producing the highest pathogenicity. The emergence of visible tumors and viremia occurred faster in the coinfected birds than in the monoinfected birds. These findings demonstrated that ALV coinfection resulted in considerably severe pathogenic and immunosuppressive consequences.
A method is provided for making a medicine. At first, fluoride ion (F-18) is adsorbed on an ion exchange resin to be rinsed to a reaction vessel with potassium carbonate. Then, a fluorinating agent is added to the reaction vessel to be heated up. After processing an azeotropic reaction with helium while water is removed, the temperature is cooled down. Then, acetonitrile is added to the reaction vessel to be heated up. After processing an azeotropic reaction with helium again while water is removed, the temperature is cooled down and excess water is extracted. A precursor is added to the reaction vessel to be heated up. Then, the pressure is increased to process a fluorination reaction. The reactants obtained after the fluorination reaction is cooled down to be flown to a waste trough through a solid-phase extraction column. Then, ethanol is used to wash out a product, i. e. [F-18]FEONM, adsorbed by the column. Thus, the product is obtained to be collected in a collecting trough. Hence, the present invention fabricates a medicine for treating Alzheimer's disease while the medicine is easily fabricated, the time for fabrication is saved and production is improved.
Certain atypical antipsychotic medications (particularly clozapine) or combinations of medications are useful to treat alcohol or other substance abuse, particularly in the general (non-schizophrenic) population. Generally stated, one aspect of the invention features a method of treating a patient suffering from alcohol or other substance abuse by administering to the patient medication effective to rectify an abuse-associated dysfunction in the DA-mediated brain reward circuit. A second aspect of the invention features administering medication that strongly antagonizes .alpha.2 andrenergic receptors and weakly antagonizes dopamine D2 receptors. Preferably, the ratio of .alpha.2 receptor blockade to D2o receptor blockade is similar to that of clozapine. The medication may be a single compound (such as clozapine or risperidone), or it may include two or more compounds which together achieve the specified function. For example, the medication may include a first component which weakly blocks the D2 receptor (such as clozapine, quetiapine or ziprasidone or a low dose of another anti-psychotic that is a more potent D2 blocker) and a5 second component (such as clozapine, risperidone or idazoxan) which strongly blocks .alpha.2 receptors, particularly the .alpha.2C  receptor. Cocktails of the two components are also disclosed.
Open label (lead-in) dose of clopidogrel 75 mg for 10 to 14 days. Upon completion, assignment to a single loading dose of clopidogrel 75 mg and placebo, followed by maintenance dose of clopidogrel 75 mg taken for 13 to 15 days.
BACKGROUND: Sesamol is a natural antioxidant known for its potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of sesamol in the development of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice.
METHODS: C57BL/6J wild-type mice were divided into 3 groups: IR group, treated with normal saline after undergoing the IRI procedure; Sesamol + IR group, treated with 30 mg/kg/d of sesamol after the IRI procedure; and Sham group, treated with normal saline but not subjected to the IRI process. Renal IRI was induced by performing a right kidney nephrectomy and subjecting the left kidney to 30-minute ischemia, followed by 24-hour reperfusion. Kidney tissues and serum were collected 24 hours post-IRI to assess the impact of sesamol on renal function after IRI. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were assessed, and renal cell apoptosis was detected through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling staining. The levels of interleukin 1β and interleukin 18 in kidney tissues, as well as indicators of oxidative stress, were also measured. Furthermore, Nrf2-deficient mice were used to examine the protective function of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO1) signaling pathways induced by sesamol, as determined by western blot assay.
RESULTS: Sesamol demonstrated significant improvement in renal function, along with reductions in renal tubular injury, cell necrosis, and apoptosis in mice. It also effectively lowered key inflammatory mediator levels. Sesamol exhibited antioxidant properties by reducing malondialdehyde levels and enhancing superoxide dismutase activities 24 hours after IRI. Western blot assay revealed increased Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO-1 protein levels with sesamol treatment. Notably, Nrf2-deficient mice did not exhibit the beneficial effects of sesamol.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that sesamol effectively alleviates renal IRI by enhancing antioxidant defenses and reducing inflammation potentially through the Nrf2/HO-1 and NQO1 signaling pathways.
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) allows the study of pain mechanisms, patient phenotyping, and response to therapy. The goals of this study were to conduct a systematic review of the use of QST in dogs with musculoskeletal disease including osteoarthritis (OA), and to assess, by means of a meta-analysis, the ability of QST to differentiate affected dogs from healthy controls. The study protocol was registered; three bibliographic databases were screened. Studies involving QST in healthy dogs and those with musculoskeletal disease were included. Data were extracted using a standardized form. Assessment of quality and risk of bias were performed using the CAMARADES critical assessment tool. Twenty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria [systematic review (n = 11); meta-analysis (n = 28)]. In the systematic review, ten studies performed static QST: mechanical [punctate tactile (n = 6); mechanical pressure (n = 5)]; thermal [cold (n = 3); hot (n = 4)]; electrical (n = 1); and one study performed dynamic QST [conditioned pain modulation (n = 1)]. Most studies were of good scientific quality and showed low to moderate risk of bias. A meta-analysis was not possible due to numerous and severe issues of heterogeneity of data among studies. Methods to reduce risk of bias and use of reporting guidelines are some of the most needed improvements in QST research in dogs. Standardization of QST methodology is urgently needed in future studies to allow for data synthesis and a clear understanding of the sensory phenotype of dogs with and without chronic pain including OA.

An elevated diaphragm may be due to eventration or paralysis. Diaphragm elevation is often asymptomatic and found incidentally on imaging. Fluoroscopic testing can be used to differentiate eventration (no paradoxic motion) from paralysis (paradoxic motion). Regardless of etiology, a diaphragm plication is indicated in all symptomatic patients with an elevated diaphragm. Plication can be approached either from a thoracic or abdominal approach, though most thoracic surgeons perform minimally invasive thoracoscopic plication. The goal of plication is to improve lung volumes and decrease paradoxic elevation of the hemidiaphragm. Diaphragm plication is safe, has excellent outcomes, and is associated with symptom improvement.
