BACKGROUND: Cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable complication of kidney transplantation. We investigated the role of regulatory T cells (Treg) in cold IRI and whether the interleukin (IL)-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex (IL-2C) can ameliorate cold IRI.
METHODS: We developed a cold IRI mouse model using kidney transplantation and analyzed the IL-2C impact on cold IRI in acute, subacute and chronic phases.
RESULTS: Treg transfer attenuated cold IRI, while Treg depletion aggravated cold IRI. Next, IL-2C administration prior to IRI mitigated acute renal function decline, renal tissue damage and apoptosis and inhibited infiltration of effector cells into kidneys and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression on day 1 after IRI. On day 7 after IRI, IL-2C promoted renal regeneration and reduced subacute renal damage. Furthermore, on day 28 following IRI, IL-2C inhibited chronic fibrosis. IL-2C decreased reactive oxygen species-mediated injury and improved antioxidant function. When IL-2C was administered following IRI, it also increased renal regeneration with Treg infiltration and suppressed renal fibrosis. In contrast, Treg depletion in the presence of IL-2C eliminated the positive effects of IL-2C on IRI.
CONCLUSION: Tregs protect kidneys from cold IRI and IL-2C inhibited cold IRI by increasing the renal Tregs, suggesting a potential of IL-2C in treating cold IRI.
KEY POINTS: Interleukin (IL)-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex attenuated acute renal injury, facilitated subacute renal regeneration and suppressed chronic renal fibrosis after cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by increasing the renal Tregs. IL-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex decreased reactive oxygen species-mediated injury and improved antioxidant function. This study suggests the therapeutic potential of the IL-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex in kidney transplantation-associated cold IR.
Up to 12 patients will receive a single infusion of CAR.k.28. The starting dose will be 2.5x10\^5 cells/kg of each product. Up to 3 dose levels of CAR.k.28 cells will be tested with at least 3 patients enrolled at each dose cohort before dose escalation is considered based on the incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT). An expansion cohort will enroll up to 8 patients at the recommended phase 2 dose. Prior to receiving the infusions, patients will undergo lymphodepletion with fludarabine and bendamustine. Patients with a known history of intolerance to bendamustine may be considered for lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide.
Although 80% of children with cancer will be cured of their primary disease, at least 70% of survivors will develop chronic medical, neurocognitive, and/or emotional conditions as a complication of their therapy. Most of these conditions are amenable to prevention and early intervention. In response, the Institute of Medicine strongly advised that all cancer patients should receive survivorship care with the following key elements: 1) a summary of previous cancer therapy, 2) individualized life-long screening for potential adverse therapy-related effects, and 3) education regarding desirable health behaviors. However, less than 30% of survivors receive recommended care. There is a tremendous need for research that addresses how to best implement evidence-based recommendations for this population.

Two main health care delivery models have been advocated for survivorship care, but no comparison studies exist. The first model is a specialty survivor clinic, usually at a cancer treatment center. The second model, termed the empowered primary care model, involves patients receiving an individualized "prescription" for follow-up care prepared by a cancer survivor specialist to be implemented by the primary care doctor. Each model poses unique strengths and weaknesses. Specialty survivor clinics can be expensive and geographically inaccessible, can cause anxiety and stress to patients, and can accommodate limited numbers of patients. Primary care doctors may lack adequate expertise and time for these complex patients. Unless we know how these approaches compare with regard to quality of care and risks, advocates and policy makers will be stymied in their efforts to support the health needs of cancer survivors. This study seeks to compare subjects randomized to the empowered primary care model vs. a specialty survivor clinic.
Protocol involves 6 cycles. Patients with complete remission or partial remission undergo auto-HSCT after 6 cycles.
A municipal casting frame is provided with cast nut retainers that allow the frame to be used with or without a bolt-down cover. The frame defines one or more bolt holes of sufficient dimension to allow free passage of the cover bolts. The undersurface of the frame defines a cast nut retainer adapted to securely receive a nut. In one embodiment, the nut retainer includes protrusions that permit the nut to be snap-fitted into the nut retainer. In another embodiment, the nut retainer is configured to frictionally receive the nut in a wedging interaction. The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a frame with integral cast nut retainers. The method generally includes the steps of (a) providing a core corresponding in shape to the bolt hole and the cast nut retainer, the cast nut retainer being configured to receive and retain a nut, (b) casting a frame in a mold about the core, (c) removing the cast frame from the mold and (d) removing the core from the cast frame. The process may also include the step of inserting a nut into the cast nut retainer in a direction that is in substantial coaxial alignment with the bolt hole.
BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with sleep disorders may be at greater risk for respiratory exacerbation or death compared to those without. After being infected with COVID-19, patients have many symptoms related to sleep disorders, especially those with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This study aimed to evaluate sleep disturbances in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection who were treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
METHODS: This cross-sectional study used the questionnaire provided by the Vietnam Sleep Disorder Study (ViSDiS) research, elaborated by the Vietnam Society of Sleep Medicine (VSSM). Seventy-seven COVID-19 patients were included.
RESULTS: There was a significant difference in sleep status before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection among participants. Up to 83% of them reported experiencing insomnia after illness, 60% reported having frequent nightmares, and more than half of participants reported nocturia (p < 0.0001). More than 81.8% of patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection were unsatisfied with their sleep quality during hospitalization After SARS-CoV-2 infection, only 2.6% of participants felt they had good quality sleep (p < 0.0001). The majority of patients suffered from fatigue after SARS-CoV-2 infection, including a lack of energy, feeling heaviness in their limbs, aggravation of pre-existing sleep disorders, idleness, constant fatigue throughout the day, and difficulty concentrating.
CONCLUSION: Sleep problems are highly prevalence among hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 in the ICU. Healthcare providers should pay attention to sleep problems and their associated symptoms to initiate appropriate treatment to improve severe COVID-19 patients' health status and minimize the risk of death.
All eligible participants were to receive recommended dose of \[68Ga\]-NeoBOMB1 of 3 Mega Becquerel (MBq)/Kg (+/- 10%) \[but not more than 250 and not less than 150 MBq. The maximum peptide mass administered was 50 microgram (µg)\].

OBJECTIVE: Pain in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is frequently neglected/overlooked, particularly in ulcerative colitis, and communication about pain can be suboptimal. The current study juxtaposes clinicians' conceptualisations of patients' pain with patient narratives. The aim was to inform the development of a pain reporting tool and provide guidance for better communication about IBD pain.
METHODS: In-depth semistructured interviews with 13 IBD clinicians in the UK: gastroenterologists (n=5), colorectal surgeons (n=2), specialist nurses (n=4) and psychologists (n=2). Primary analysis of these data and secondary analysis of earlier interviews about pain in IBD with clinicians (n=12) and patients (n=71) followed principles of reflexive thematic analysis. Themes were compared across participant groups.
RESULTS: Clinicians state that they regularly ask about pain in Crohn's disease, but not ulcerative colitis. Patients, however, report inconsistent attention to pain in either condition, with power dynamics constraining their pain report. Some clinicians acknowledged that they assume that patients manage their pain independently, leading to insufficient follow-up (Theme 1: Contradictions and ambiguities when discussing pain in IBD). Inadequate acknowledgement of pain by clinicians was attributed to time constraints and systemic issues. Where inflammatory or structural causes were lacking, some clinicians default to attributing pain to irritable bowel syndrome, contributing to patients feeling uncared for (Theme 2: Consequences of limited tools and time for pain). Addressing pain was further complicated by the reluctance of some patients to express discomfort or pain and others who avoided activities that might lead to pain (Theme 3: Addressing pain in patients who do not complain).
CONCLUSION: The study emphasises the importance of consistent pain evaluation and management, advocating for more open dialogues between clinicians and patients.
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors, due to their unique locations, pose a serious threat to human health and present challenges to modern medicine. These tumors exhibit notable epidemiological characteristics across various ethnicities, regions, and age groups. This study investigated the trend of disease burden of CNS tumors in China from 1990-2019 and predicted the incidence and death rate from 2020-2030. Employing data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, we utilized key indicators to scrutinize the disease burden associated with CNS tumors in China. The analysis employed the Joinpoint model to track the trend in disease burden, calculating both the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC). Additionally, the Matlab software facilitated the creation of a gray model to forecast the incidence and death rate of CNS tumors in China spanning from 2020 to 2030." In 2019, the age-standardized incidence rate, prevalence rate, death rate, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with CNS tumors in China were among the high level in the world. The standardized prevalence rate and DALYs of CNS tumors in China residents showed a stable fluctuation trend with age; however, age-standardized death and incidence rate demonstrated a generally upward trend with age. In China, the age-standardized prevalence and incidence rate of males were lower than those for female residents, while the age-standardized death rate and DALYs among males surpassed those of females. From 1990-2019, the age-standardized prevalence and incidence rate of CNS tumors in China exhibited an increasing trend. The age-standardized death rate and DALYs showed a contrasting trend. According to the gray model's prediction, incidence rate of CNS tumors would continue rising while the death rate is expected to decline in China from 2020-2023. The burden of CNS tumors in China has shown an upward trajectory, posing significant challenges to their treatment. It is necessary to pay attention to tertiary prevention, start from the perspective of high-risk groups and high-risk factors to reduce the burden of disease, and achieve "early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment".
Therapeutic compounds which are cell proliferation modulators, preferably inhibitors. These modulators contain amino acid structures that are arranged as a hydrophilic analog of an alpha-fetoprotein. The modulator may be a peptide itself, e.g., an octapeptide like that of SEQ ID NO: 5; a peptidomimetic; or may be in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable scaffold, such as a polycyclic hydrocarbon to which is attached the necessary amino acid structures for biological and/or chemical activity. The modulators of the invention are distinguished in one aspect over previous compounds in that they are orally active, and therefore do not have to be injected into the patient. The compositions and methods are useful for reducing estrogen-stimulated growth of cells, and treating or preventing cancer, such as breast cancer. The treatment or prevention methods can include the use of tamoxifen therapy in combination with the peptide therapy.
Recent pediatric data shows that less than 80% of children mechanically ventilated for ≥ 96 hours survived to PICU discharge, while 100% of children mechanically ventilated for \< 96 hours survived to PICU discharge. Interventions that decrease duration of mechanical ventilation may improve outcome by limiting ventilator-induced lung injury, sedative medication usage and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Obstructive airway secretions may prolong mechanical ventilation by causing atelectasis and endotracheal tube obstruction, with resultant cardio-respiratory instability. Nebulized hypertonic saline (HTS) is used to decrease mucus viscosity and increase mucociliary clearance in patients with diseases such as cystic fibrosis and bronchiolitis, and has been used to enhance airway clearance in mechanically ventilated children. Administering nebulized HTS to mechanically ventilated children may facilitate airway clearance and shorten mechanical ventilation.

In a randomized study of children \< 2 years old following cardiac surgery, patients given dornase, another mucolytic agent, had a significantly decreased duration of mechanical ventilation versus those given saline placebo (52 hrs vs. 82 hrs). HTS may be even more effective, as mechanically ventilated newborns with persistent atelectasis had more improvement in radiographic findings and oxygen saturation when randomized to receive hypertonic saline compared to those randomized to receive dornase. This may be because dornase may only be effective in patients with leukocytes or bacterial present in tracheal aspirates, while HTS may be effective in all ventilated patients. Further study of the impact of prophylactic mucolytic therapy on the duration of mechanical ventilation in children is warranted.

OBJECTIVE: In preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, opinions regarding the handling of mosaic embryos vary. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of freeze-thawing, the number of cells obtained, and the number of laser irradiation cycles on the degree of embryonic mosaicism.
STUDY DESIGN: This study was conducted in three parts. First, we classified specimens into the normal biopsy (control) (119 patients, 304 blastocysts) and thawed-biopsy (TB group) (26 patients, 72 blastocysts)) groups. The control and TB groups were then classified into three categories (euploidy, mosaic and aneuploidy) according to next-generation sequencing (NGS) results, and the number of cells collected and laser irradiation cycles were compared for each category. Subsequently, the effects of differences in the number of cells collected and laser irradiation cycles on NGS results were investigated in the control and TB groups. Finally, data on cell collection and laser irradiation cycles and NGS analysis results for the groups were compared.
RESULTS: The TB group had a significantly higher incidence of chromosomal mosaicism than the control group. Neither the number of cells collected nor the laser irradiation cycles affected the percentage of chromosomal mosaicism. However, the freeze-thaw process increased the occurrence of mosaicism.
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that repeated freeze-thaw cycles increase the incidence of mosaicism, but the embryos are not aneuploid and are therefore suitable for transfer.

Elevated Liver Enzymes

RIVELSA is contraindicated in females with acute viral hepatitis or severe (decompensated) cirrhosis of the liver [see Contraindications (4)]. Acute liver test abnormalities may necessitate the discontinuation of RIVELSA until liver tests return to normal and RIVELSA causation has been excluded. Discontinue RIVELSA if jaundice develops.

Liver Tumors

RIVELSA is contraindicated in females with benign or malignant liver tumors [see Contraindications (4)]. COCs increase the risk of hepatic adenomas. An estimate of the attributable risk is 3.3 cases/100,000 COC users. Rupture of hepatic adenomas may cause death from abdominal hemorrhage.

Studies have shown an increased risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma in long-term (> 8 years) COC users. The attributable risk of liver cancers in COC users is less than one case per million users.
In addition to the "control intervention", see below, the experimental group was closely followed by the research nurse, an expert in Adult Education, who held 20-minute "face to face" meetings at baseline and at follow-up with the patients allocated to the experimental group. The nurse provided theoretical explanations on the exercises, watched the explanatory DVD with the patients, answering questions and commenting relevant points, and then had the patients repeat the exercises in front of a mirror under direct observation, so that any errors could be pointed out and corrected.
First, parent facilitators will be recruited and matched with their peers. Parent facilitators will be members of the Effingham County Navigator Team with a child with a disability. The peer matching resembles the community lay health worker model. The community lay health worker model will reduce the amount of time needed to meet face to face with families. To begin adapting the facilitator training and curriculum, the program directors will work with representatives from the University of Montana Rural Institute on Disabilities to review and update training materials. A representative from the Rural Institute on Disabilities will deliver an online intensive facilitator training. The facilitator training is approximately 15 hours long. The training includes three major components: peer training, facilitator training, and Master "Train the Trainer" training. The project directors will work with the Effingham County Navigator Team to recruit parents. The Navigator Team will recruit five parents as parent facilitators. The parents will work together with the project directors to deliver the adapted curriculum to participating families. With bi-weekly meetings for 10 weeks between parent facilitators and family participants in the home or another desired location. The project directors have already participated in the facilitator training and will serve as mentors to newly trained facilitators. At the end of the online training session, the parent facilitators will be equipped to successfully implement the Living Well curriculum. The project directors will schedule a working meeting before and after the facilitator training to discuss curriculum changes with the Rural Institute on Disabilities representative. Changes in readability are anticipated since the target audience includes adolescents. Curriculum delivery methods will need tailoring to match a family-based approach including activities to be completed at the home at the family and individual levels for parents, siblings, and children. Both GSU faculty and the Navigator team will lead monthly summary meetings to review the adapted content. These meetings will take place at a convenient location in the community as determined by the Navigator team. Pre and post focus groups will take place before and after these monthly meetings at a convenient locale in the community.
