This is a prospective, non-controlled, feasitility study. The tumor-bed boost part of the radiotherpay is put forward, 7-14 days before the definitive surgery. A single dose of 10Gy is prescribed to the tumor bed. In order to identify the tumor accurately, MRI guided radiotherapy is applied under the MR-linac. The breast surgery is planned after recovery from radiation induced acute toxicity, within 14 days. The surgeons would undertake lumpectomy only or an additional oncoplastic surgery, with axillary nodal evaluation with sentinal nodal biopsy or dissection. After wound healing, postoperative whole breast radiotherapy is administered, within 6 weeks following surgery. The dose is 26Gy/5.2Gy/5 fractions. Adjuvant systemic therapy is held until the end of the radiotherapy, no more than 12 weeks from surgery implementation.
The program will be delivered twice-weekly through 45-minute sessions over 6 weeks. An experienced fitness instructor with lived experience and a graduate student from the Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, will lead a class of 4-6 participants. The sessions will be comprised of a 10-minute warm-up phase, a 25-minute aerobic phase and a 10-minute cool-down phase that will incorporate upper-extremity flexibility exercises and mindfulness meditation. Over the duration the instructor will be sensitive to varying levels of function and fitness and will structure the classes to enable a slow progression of intensity. Individual semi-structured interviews will be completed over the WebEx platform to garner feedback and improve study programming for future implementation of a health care service at Parkwood Institute Outpatient Clinic.
Mounting evidence suggests a significant correlation between depressive disorders and neurodegenerative conditions, encompassing Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease (PD). Depression represents a substantial non-motor manifestation frequently identified in individuals with PD, posing a significant threat to patients' overall well-being and necessitating the implementation of effective management strategies. Despite its high prevalence, impacting over 40% of PD patients, the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying depression and its relationship to dopaminergic system degeneration remain largely ambiguous. In this study, we presented our findings demonstrating distinct characteristics of cortical astrocytes in PD patients compared to reactivated glial cells in the substantia nigra. We identified a subset of differentially expressed genes associated with depressive disorders from PD-associated cortical astrocytes. Furthermore, we uncovered the potential involvement of the hypoxia signaling in driving cortical astrocytic dysfunctions. Through a comprehensive investigation utilizing transcriptome and chromatin accessibility analyses on cultured human astrocytes, we revealed that hypoxic treatment could induce similar expression changes observed in cortex from PD patients. Additionally, we provided evidence that activation of the HIF-1 signaling pathway suppressed the expression of key components of mitochondrial ribosomes and electron transport chain proteins COX2 and CYTB, resulting in abnormal mitochondrial membrane potential. Our results underscore the potential impact of glial metabolic abnormalities on the development of depressive disorders associated with Parkinson's disease.

BACKGROUND: Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) plays an important role in immune modulation in various central nervous system disorders. However, IRAK4 has not been reported in epilepsy models in animal and clinical studies, nor has its involvement in regulating pyroptosis in epilepsy.
METHOD: First, we performed transcriptome sequencing, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blot analysis on the hippocampal tissues of refractory epilepsy patients to measure the mRNA and protein levels of IRAK4 and pyroptosis-related proteins. Second, we successfully established a pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizure mouse model. We conducted behavioral tests, electroencephalography, virus injection, and molecular biology experiments to investigate the role of IRAK4 in seizure activity regulation.
RESULTS: IRAK4 is upregulated in the hippocampus of epilepsy patients and PTZ-induced seizure model mice. IRAK4 expression is observed in the hilar neurons of PTZ-induced mice. Knocking down IRAK4 in PTZ-induced mice downregulated pyroptosis-related protein expression and alleviated seizure activity. Overexpressing IRAK4 in naive mice upregulated pyroptosis-related protein expression and increased PTZ-induced abnormal neuronal discharges. IRAK4 and NF-κB were found to bind to each other in patient hippocampal tissue samples. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate reversed the pyroptosis-related protein expression increase caused by PTZ. PF-06650833 alleviated seizure activity and inhibited pyroptosis in PTZ-induced seizure mice.
CONCLUSION: IRAK4 plays a key role in the pathological process of epilepsy, and its potential mechanism may be related to pyroptosis mediated by the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. PF-06650833 has potential as a therapeutic agent for alleviating epilepsy.

The research material consisted of 112 patients, aged 24 to 45 years, of both genders, who reported to the treatment in Consulting Room of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunctions at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, between 2014-2016, due to the pain and clicking of temporomandibular joints with comorbid hypertension of masticatory muscles. Subjects were examined according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders protocol and after inclusion with painful disc displacement with reduction and masticatory muscle contracture assigned randomly to the study or control group (56 patients in each). In the study group was used the anterior repositioning splint on the lower arch for 20 hour usage per 4 months. In the control group a non-invasive therapy was applied using biostimulation laser in the form of 12 session, performed every second day, on the area of the temporomandibular joints with opened mouth and performing muscles self-exercises with a dominant protrusive position of the mandible. Pain intensity was evaluated using verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS) immediately before the treatment and then after 4 and 16 weeks. The obtained data were analyzed using U Mann-Whitney test (p ≤ 0,005).
All bedsores were irradiated with a Bioptron lamp. Photo and measurement of bedsores size and Torrance score, were made: on the first, 9,18 and 36 day of therapy.
More than 140,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed annually in Canada, with nearly half of which metastasize to bone. The skeletal system is one of the most common sites for metastatic spread of many visceral malignancies, especially cancers originating from breast, prostate, lung, thyroid and kidney. Hematologic malignancies, such as multiple myeloma and lymphoma, also primarily manifest with multiple aggressive lytic lesions in the bone. A Skeletal Related Event (SRE) is the term given when a metastatic lesion arises in bone. With advances in effective systemic treatment and supportive care, the duration of survival of patients with bone metastases has improved substantially. This improvement in survival can be accompanied by significant morbidity and reduction in quality of life secondary to pain, pathologic fracture, and spinal cord compression from SREs. Pain and impaired mobility occur in approximately 65%-75% of patients with bone metastases. SREs are also associated with high economic burden secondary to increased costs of treatment and high rates of hospitalizations. It is estimated that a single episode of SRE can cost the medical system 36,462 USD. The current literature reflects significant diversity in the approach of diagnosing and treating MBD. Therefore, numerous studies have advocated the need for a multidisciplinary clinic to co-ordinate the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with MBD patients. This strategy has also been proposed to improve the delivery of early and multimodal palliative management for patients in a cost effective approach.

Aims and Objectives: The aims of this project are: 1) Assess feasibility of establishing and integrating a multidisciplinary Rapid Access Metastatic Bone Disease Program (RAMP) at the Investigator's institution to improve the delivery of care to patients presenting with pelvic and lower extremity MBD. 2) Centralize referrals and streamline clinical care pathways for patients diagnosed with MBD to pelvis and lower extremity. 3) Assess improvement in outcome and patient experience. The objectives of this project are: 1) Establish a core multidisciplinary RAMP team to develop a patient-centered clinical care pathway for diagnosis and treatment. 2) Establish a standardized and rapid referral process for RAMP. 3) Triage consults and coordinate their integration into pre-existing weekly "musculoskeletal oncology" clinic at the cancer center. 4) Develop a centralized registry for patients presenting to RAMP to assess provider performance and evaluate the success of established clinical care pathways.

Acute heart failure (HF) is highly morbid, lethal, and costly. It is a difficult diagnosis to make given its symptoms and signs overlap with other cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. In the emergency department (ED), misdiagnosis of acute HF is common and associated with adverse outcomes. Biomarker testing can facilitate accurate diagnosis; however, natriuretic peptides (NP) are the only guideline recommend biomarker of HF for diagnostic testing, and are better for ruling-out, rather than ruling-in, acute HF. Even with NP testing, in contemporary clinical practice misdiagnosis of acute HF still occurs in 10 to 45% of patients presenting to the ED with dyspnea. Clinical prediction models including multiple biomarkers hold promise for improving diagnostic accuracy. The few prior studies investigating a multiple biomarker approach for diagnosing acute HF were limited by constraint to highly correlated markers from known biologic pathways, relatively small sample sizes, lack of inclusion of all a priori selected biomarkers into a single model, and absence of validation cohorts. The current study is designed to address these limitations. Recent advances in "omics" enable novel biomarker discovery on a larger scale and investigations less "biased" by existing knowledge. The overarching hypothesis of this study is that a multi-marker model incorporating novel proteins discovered with plasma proteomics improves diagnostic accuracy for acute HF. In a preliminary proof of concept study plasma proteomics was utilized to discover a multi-marker panel of 21 biomarkers which improved diagnostic accuracy for acute HF beyond current clinical practice using clinical data and NP levels. These promising preliminary data motivate broader discovery in a larger sample size with subsequent derivation and validation of a multi-marker model for diagnosing acute HF in independent samples of adequate size. The specific aims of this study are to: 1) discover a multi-marker panel of 21 biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy for acute HF, 2) derive a model for diagnosing acute HF incorporating the 21-biomarker panel, and 3) test performance of the multi-marker model in a prospective validation cohort. In aim 1, existing plasma samples from \~900 patients will be used to assay 925 proteins to discover a smaller set of novel biomarkers most strongly associated with an adjudicated acute HF diagnosis. In aim 2, an existing prospective observational cohort, EMROC-AHF, will be utilized to derive the multi-marker model in \~900 patients who presented to the ED with acute dyspnea. In aim 3, from four EDs in Detroit, MI and Nashville, TN a new sample will prospectively recruit \~1,000 patients presenting with acute dyspnea and adjudicate the presence of acute HF by cardiologist panel review. Given the burden of HF, the frequency of inaccurate diagnosis and its adverse consequences, this study will address a significant unmet need by improving diagnostic accuracy for acute HF.

Approximately 50 patients will be asked to repeat the draft of the PREM-ECM (less than six weeks) approximately one week later at time point 2 (T2). In stage IV, the PREM-ECM will be administered alone.
A deltopectoral approach is used. The coracoacromial ligament (CAL) is exposed and incised 1 cm from its coracoid attachment. Harvesting of a 2.5- to 3-cm coracoid graft allows use of 2 screws for fixation to the glenoid neck through a subscapularis-splitting approach. The stump of the CAL is repaired to the capsule with the arm positioned in neutral. The graft is placed in a extra-articular fashion with capsular closure to the native glenoid rim.
Placebo injected once-weekly. Standard dose escalations every 4 weeks will be applied, until the maximum dose of 1.0 mg placebo is reached.
Tretinoin can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman. Tretinoin is a retinoid and there is an increased risk of major congenital malformations, spontaneous abortions and premature births following exposure to retinoids during pregnancy in humans. Tretinoin has teratogenic and embryotoxic effects in mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits and pigtail monkeys at doses less than the human dose on a mg/m2 basis. 

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use 2 effective methods of contraception during treatment with tretinoin and for 1 month following the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with tretinoin and for 1 week following the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disease, most prevalent in older adults, estimated to affect over 12 million people world-wide by 2040. While antiparkinsonian medication and deep brain simulation (DBS) are effective in managing disease symptoms, disease modification has remained elusive. Exercise has been proposed as the Universal Prescription for PD capable of slowing disease progression; stationary cycling in particular has been suggested as an ideal exercise modality for people with PD (PwPD).Our seminal tandem cycling study was the first to utilize forced exercise (FE) in human PD patients and demonstrate a 30% improvement in clinical ratings compared to voluntary exercise (VE). Briefly, FE is a mode of high intensity exercise originating in animal models of PD in which voluntary exercise rate is augmented, but not replaced. Thus, PwPD were assisted in pedaling at a higher rate (cadence) on the tandem cycle compared to those on a standard stationary cycle performing voluntary exercise (VE). This work resulted in a paradigm shift in terms of recommending high intensity exercise for PwPD. Currently, we are involved in two multi-site clinical trials aimed at identifying the potential of high intensity exercise to slow PD (2R01NS073717 \& 1U01NS113851). Despite the potential of exercise to alter disease progression, its mechanism of action and effects on basal ganglia function are not understood. The loss of dopamine producing neurons associated with PD results in hypersynchrony of basal ganglia motor circuits that underlies PD symptoms. Recent animal studies using FE evaluated neural activity, local field potentials (LFPs), from the primary motor cortex (M1) to estimate the impact of exercise on basal ganglia function. Following FE, neural hypersynchrony in the beta (13-35Hz) frequency band was reduced in M1, which was proposed to underlie improved motor function. M1 activity is impacted by the activity in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a structure in the basal ganglia, via the direct and indirect pathways. The impact of high intensity exercise, VE or FE, on STN hypersynchrony in humans is unknown. Recording of STN neural activity, until recently, was only possible during DBS surgery or in patients whose electrode was temporarily externalized immediately post-surgery. Neither approach is feasible or safe to systematically evaluate the effects of exercise on basal ganglia function. Recently, the Medtronic Percept DBS platform received FDA approval. The Percept platform records and streams neural activity from the DBS electrode within the STN. This project, for the first time, will record neural activity from the STN during two modes of high intensity exercise, FE and VE, in PwPD to identify the potential mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of exercise on PD. Our underlying hypothesis is that high intensity exercise reduces STN hypersynchrony which facilitates cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuit functionality thereby improving motor function following exercise.
