PURPOSE: A treatment or prevention method of viral diseases of domestic animals is provided to minimize economic damages in farmhouse by preventing transmission of virus by killing the virus. CONSTITUTION: A treatment or prevention method of viral diseases of domestic animals comprises the following steps: feeding the domestic animals with fodder in which the organic acid is included; and generating chlorine dioxide inside the digesting organ of the domestic animals by feeding drinking water in which chlorite is dissolved. The organic acid is included to maintain pH of the drinking water as 6-7. The organic acid is citric acid, acetic acid or a mixture thereof. The chlorite is sodium chlorite, potassium chlorite or a mixture thereof. The organic acid is included in the fodder at an amount that the domestic animals ingest 0.1-5mg/kg per 1 hour. The domestic animal is pig, hen or duck. The drinking water in which the chlorite is dissolved is 100-500 micro liters of water having a chlorite concentration of 0.1-0.5%. The digesting organ is the stomach or the small intestine.
Cholic acid is a primary bile acid synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. In bile acid synthesis disorders due to SEDs in the biosynthetic pathway, and in PDs including Zellweger spectrum disorders, deficiency of primary bile acids leads to unregulated accumulation of intermediate bile acids and cholestasis. Bile acids facilitate fat digestion and absorption by forming mixed micelles and facilitate absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in the intestine.

Endogenous bile acids including cholic acid enhance bile flow and provide the physiologic feedback inhibition of bile acid synthesis. The mechanism of action of cholic acid has not been fully established; however, it is known that cholic acid and its conjugates are endogenous ligands of the nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR). FXR regulates enzymes and transporters that are involved in bile acid synthesis and in the enterohepatic circulation to maintain bile acid homeostasis under normal physiologic conditions.
The study has a crossover design. Patients will start in standard ASV 1.1 settings, then attending physician will assess the ventilation parameters according to study protocol and will note them in the case report form as he starts the data recording with MemoryBox (MB)in the mixed mode. Afterwards, the clinician will start the first phase by either keeping the patient in ASV 1.1 without any closed-loop controllers activated or switching to ASV 1.1 with only FiO2 controller activated according to the randomization. After 2.5 hours of recording in the first phase, the clinician will switch the patient to the second phase regarding randomization order. If the patient was ventilated without FiO2 controller activated in the first phase, the controller will be activated in the second phase. The patient will stay in the second phase for 2.5 hours as well. The first 0.5 hours of the first phase will be considered as run-in phase and the first 0.5 hours of the second phase will be considered as wash-out phase. Therefore the first 0.5 hours of each phase will be excluded from data analysis due to cross-over study design.
To elucidate the induction of ferroptotic pathways and the transcriptional modulation of pivotal genes in the context of hemorrhagic shock. The R software was used to analyze the GSE64711 dataset, isolating genes relevant to ferroptosis. Enrichment analyses and protein interaction networks were assembled. Using WGCNA hub genes were identified and intersected with ferroptosis-related genes, highlighting hub genes CD44 and MAPK14. In a rat hemorrhagic shock model, cardiac ROS, Fe2+, MDA, and GSH levels were assessed. Key ferroptotic proteins (SLC7A11/GPX4) in myocardial tissues were examined via western blot. Hub genes, CD44 and MAPK14, expressions were confirmed through immunohistochemistry. Analyzing the GSE64711 dataset revealed 337 differentially expressed genes, including 12 linked to ferroptosis. Enrichment analysis highlighted pathways closely related to ferroptosis. Using Genemania, we found these genes mainly affect ROS metabolism and oxidative stress response. WGCNA identified CD44 and MAPK14 as hub genes. Rat myocardial tissue validation showed significant cardiac damage and elevated ROS and MDA levels, and decreased GSH levels in the hemorrhagic shock model. The ferroptotic pathway SLC7A11/GPX4 was activated, and immunohistochemistry showed a significant increase in the expression levels of CD44 and MAPK14 in the hemorrhagic shock rat model. We demonstrated the presence of tissue ferroptosis in hemorrhagic shock by combining bioinformatics analysis with in vivo experimentation. Specifically, we observed the activation of the SLC7A11/GPX4 ferroptotic pathway. Further, CD44 and MAPK14 were identified as hub genes in hemorrhagic shock.
BACKGROUND: Some studies have suggested that uric acid has antioxidant properties that can prevent bone loss, but the relationship between uric acid and bone mineral density is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between UA and BMD in patients with CKD stage 1-3.
METHODS: We extracted 13,047 participants from the NHANES database, including 7342 male subjects and 5705 female subjects. Weighted multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the correlation between UA and BMD in patients with CKD stages 1-3.
RESULTS: In patients with CKD stage 1-3, UA was significantly correlated with BMD. In the male group, UA was positively associated with BMD (β, 7.94 [95%CI, 4.95, 10.94]). In the female group, there was a negative relationship between them (β, -5.33 [95%CI, -8.77, -1.89]). The relationship between UA and BMD in male group showed an inverted U-shaped curve, and UA was positively correlated before 6.1 mg/dl and negatively correlated after 6.1 mg/dl. The relationship was basically negative in the female group.
CONCLUSIONS: For the patients with CKD stage 1-3, the relationship between UA and BMD showed an inverted U-shaped curve in the males, while the relationship was largely negative in the females.
Determining pace or speed based on the sensor data may include determining an amount of contact time of a user's foot with an exercise surface, such as the ground. The contact time may be determined by determining samples of the sensor data that correspond to various events such as heelstrike, toe-off, and subsequent heelstrike. In one example, these events may be determined by determining a sequence (e.g., a triplet) of three sample values that exceed a corresponding threshold. The validity of the determined triplet (e.g., heelstrike, toe-off, and heelstrike) may be confirmed by determining whether the difference between the final event sample and the intermediate event sample is greater than the difference between the intermediate event sample and the initial event sample. After validation, the contact time may be determined from the triplet. The speed or pace may then be determined using a linear or non-linear relationship to the contact time.
Treatment of mild to moderate malaria in adults caused by mefloquine-susceptible strains of P. falciparum or by P. vivax: Dosage: Five tablets (1250 mg) mefloquine hydrochloride to be given as a single oral dose. The drug should not be taken on an empty stomach and should be administered with at least 8 oz (240 mL) of water. 

If a full-treatment course with mefloquine does not lead to improvement within 48 to 72 hours, mefloquine should not be used for retreatment. An alternative therapy should be used. Similarly, if previous prophylaxis with mefloquine failed, mefloquine should not be used for curative treatment (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE).

Note: Patients with acute P. vivax malaria, treated with mefloquine, are at high risk of relapse because mefloquine does not eliminate exoerythrocytic (hepatic phase) parasites. To avoid relapse after initial treatment of the acute infection with mefloquine, patients should subsequently be treated with an 8-aminoquinoline derivative (e.g., primaquine).
Primary health care serves every person and manages over 90% of the illnesses. The Hospital Authority public general and family medicine outpatient clinics provide about 11 million attendances each year, which is the major source of health care for the elderly and low-income population. The effectiveness of primary care has profound impact on the health of the population as well as the demand on expensive secondary care. Western medicine (WM) is the most commonly used type of primary care but 50 to 60% of people also consult Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Hong Kong. The two types of medicine are often used sequentially or concurrently. There is a constant debate on whether WM or TCM is more effective, but few if any, comparative data are available. Few studies have investigated patient satisfaction with the public primary care clinics but none has investigated the effectiveness of care. A proper evaluation with a valid outcome measure will help to inform the public and policy makers on the benefit and limitations of the different primary care.

The evaluation of the effectiveness of a health service needs to use appropriate outcome measures. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) with an emphasis on subjective perception of well-being and function is probably the most suitable outcome measure in primary care because most of the health problems are functional rather than pathological. The other advantage of HRQOL is that it is generic in that the same standard measure can be applied to different types of patients, illnesses and medical services.

Our previous study showed that all patients had significant improvements in their HRQOL after TCM consultations at the different (internal medicine, bone-setting and acupuncture) primary care outpatient clinics in Tung Wah Hospital. We would like to carry out a study to evaluate the effectiveness of WM in improving the HRQOL of patients attending the WM general outpatient clinic of the TWH and another public primary care clinic. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the effectiveness of care of the public primary care service. The results will allow a direct comparison between WM and TCM, overall and for different illnesses, which can help to determine their respective roles in primary care.
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Observational studies have suggested a potential association between hypertension and Iron deficiency anemia (IDA). However, it is unclear whether there is a genetic and causal link between hypertension and IDA.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) data for hypertension were sourced from the UK Biobank and FinnGen. Genetic variants data for IDA were extracted from FinnGen and the IEU Open GWAS project, all derived from European populations. The genetic association between hypertension and IDA was assessed using Linkage Disequilibrium Score Regression (LDSC), with MR employed to determine causality. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) as a major analytical method for MR. Sensitivity and heterogeneity analyses were conducted to ensure result reliability. Furthermore, validation analysis was performed to further strengthen the robustness of the findings. A genetic association between hypertension and IDA was observed (rg = 0.121, P = 0.002). Our findings suggest that hypertension increases the risk of developing IDA (OR = 2.493,P = 0.038), and IDA maybe serve as a risk factor for hypertension (OR = 1.006,P < 0.001). Validation analysis yielded consistent results. Importantly, our findings demonstrated no heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy.
CONCLUSION: Additional insights into the connection between hypertension and IDA were gained. Regular testing of iron ions and anemia-related markers in hypertensive patients is crucial for early identification of IDA. Furthermore, it is imperative to closely monitor the blood pressure of patients with IDA to promptly identify and diagnose hypertension. The implementation of these integrated health strategies is vital for global efforts to tackle the dual challenges of hypertension and IDA.
The investigators propose to use a robust control condition, exposure therapy (ET), with the same frequency and amount of therapist contact as CREST. Twenty-six weekly, individual ET sessions (6 months) will be delivered. The control group will receive ET for all 26 sessions and no cognitive training. As in CREST, the ET sessions will be manualized and copies utilized during session by both the patient and therapist.
BACKGROUND: Abdominal pain is the most common complaint within the emergency department (ED) and has many varied etiologies. Some of these conditions can be medical emergencies, including ovarian torsion. While representing just 3% of gynecologic emergencies, ovarian torsion should be considered in all females presenting to the ED with abdominal or pelvic complaints.
CASE: A 38-year-old G5P5 female with a past medical history significant for ureterolithiasis presented to a freestanding ED with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. She developed sudden onset of right sided abdominal pain radiating to her right flank upon awakening. The initial differential diagnosis was for ureterolithiasis or appendicitis. Her complete blood count (CBC) was normal, and testing for pregnancy, infection, and hematuria was negative. Computed topography (CT) imaging of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a 9 cm adnexal mass, consistent with a possible dermoid cyst. A pelvic ultrasound was ordered which showed a possible ovarian torsion. She was transferred to a tertiary care hospital where she had a laparoscopy with right-sided oophorectomy and salpingectomy performed.
DISCUSSION: This patient presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting and was first suspected to have ureterolithiasis or appendicitis. She was found to have an ovarian torsion with a dermoid cyst, which resulted in the loss of her ovary and fallopian tube. This case demonstrates the importance of including gynecologic emergencies in the differential on all female patients presenting with abdominal pain.
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes nearly all cervical cancer cases and is a cause of anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. The incidence of HPV-associated cancers is inequitable, with an increased burden on marginalized groups in high-income countries. Understanding how immunization status varies by material and social deprivation, health system, and geospatial factors is valuable for prioritizing and planning HPV immunization interventions.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe school-based HPV immunization rates by individual and geospatial determinants of health in Alberta, Canada.
METHODS: Health administrative data for male and female individuals born in 2004 in Alberta were used to determine HPV immunization status based on age and the number of doses administered in schools during the 2014/2015-2018/2019 school years. Immunization status and its relationship with material and social deprivation and health system factors were assessed by a logistic regression model. Geospatial clustering was assessed using Getis-Ord Gi* hot spot analysis. Mean scores of material and social deprivation and health system factors were compared between hot and cold spots without full HPV immunization using independent samples t tests. A multidisciplinary team comprising researchers and knowledge users formed a co-design team to design the study protocol and review the study results.
RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 45,207 youths. In the adjusted model, the odds of those who did not see their general practitioner (GP) within 3 years before turning 10 years old and not being fully immunized were 1.965 times higher (95% CI 1.855-2.080) than those who did see their GP. The odds of health system users with health conditions and health system nonusers not being fully immunized were 1.092 (95% CI 1.006-1.185) and 1.831 (95% CI 1.678-1.998) times higher, respectively, than health system users without health conditions. The odds of those who lived in areas with the most material and social deprivation not being fully immunized were 1.287 (95% CI 1.200-1.381) and 1.099 (95% CI 1.029-1.174) times higher, respectively, than those who lived in areas with the least deprivation. The odds of those who lived in rural areas not being fully immunized were 1.428 times higher (95% CI 1.359-1.501) than those who lived in urban areas. Significant hot spot clusters of individuals without full HPV immunization exist in rural locations on the northern and eastern regions of Alberta. Hot spots had significantly worse mean material deprivation scores (P=.008) and fewer GP visits (P=.001) than cold spots.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that material and social deprivation, health system access, and rural residency impact HPV immunization. Such factors should be considered by public health professionals in other jurisdictions and will be used by the Alberta co-design team when tailoring programs to increase HPV vaccine uptake in priority populations and regions.
OTFC (oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate) is supplied in individually sealed child-resistant blister packages. The amount of fentanyl contained in OTFC can be fatal to a child.

Nicotine is one of the main components of cigarettes and affects the central nervous system mainly via nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It has further effects on neuromodulation by regulating the release of dopamine, serotonin, glutamate and adrenaline. In studies, it has been shown that nicotine improves attention and working memory in animals and humans, while nicotine withdrawal leads to reduced working and verbal memory capacity in otherwise healthy tobacco smokers. In schizophrenics and patients suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, nicotine improves cognitive performance. A likely basis of the nicotinic effects on cognitive functions is its effect on cortical excitability and activity. Here, neurophysiological studies mainly base on animal experiments and have shown in vitro that the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors elicit neuronal depolarisation by inducing transmembrane cationic inward currents (Calcium), thus being involved in induction and modulation of neuroplasticity and cortical excitability.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has shown positive results in the treatment of depression, schizophrenia, and more recently addiction. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation uses alternating magnetic fields to induce electric currents in the cortical tissue. Low-frequency as one hertz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is believed to inhibit neuronal firing in a localized area and is used to induce virtual brain lesions. High-frequency as more than three hertz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is believed to be excitatory in nature and can result in neuronal depolarization under the stimulating coil. However, the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation are not limited to the site of stimulation and can induce changes in distant interconnected sites of the brain, and consequently may influence subcortical regions.
PURPOSE: To obtain a low irritant solid detergent composition, containing a specific glycolic acid amide sulfate ester salt as a cleaning component and good in foaming and solid properties. CONSTITUTION: This solid detergent composition contains a glycolic acid amide sulfate ester salt of formula I (R<1> is an 8-18C straight-chain or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl; M is an alkali (alkaline earth) metal, ammonium, an alkanolammonium, etc). The compound of formula I in which R<1> is dodecyl and M is an alkali metal is preferred and, e.g. sodium salt of glycolic acid N-dodecylamide sulfate ester is cited. Furthermore, the content of the compound of formula I in the composition is preferably 5-90wt.%, especially preferably 10-70wt.%. Since the compound of formula I is hardly solidified by itself, a solidifying agent is preferably used. The compound of formula I is obtained by reacting an aliphatic amine with glycolic acid and then reacting the resultant reactional product of formula II, etc., with a sulfating agent, etc.
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a cancer type that is thought to be influenced by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and human polyomaviruses (HPyVs). In Egypt, CRC ranks as the 7th most common cancer, accounting for 3.47% of male cancers and 3% of female cancers. However, there is currently a lack of information regarding the presence of PyVs and HPVs co-infection specifically in CRC cases in Egypt. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of HPVs and HPyVs (JCPyV, BKPyV, and SV40) infections, as well as co-infections, among CRC patients in Egypt. Additionally, the study aimed to assess any potential association between these viral infections and tumor stages.
METHODS: In the present study, we analyzed a total of 51 tissue samples obtained from Egyptian CRC patients, along with 19 polyps' samples. Our investigation focused on the detection and genotyping of HPyVs using Real-Time PCR. Additionally, we employed real-time PCR for the detection of HPVs, and for their genotyping, we utilized a combination of PCR amplification followed by sequencing.
RESULTS: In our study, we found evidence of HPyVs infection in the CRC patients, specifically SV40 (25.5%) and BKPyV (19.6%). However, JCPyV was not detected in the samples that were examined. Additionally, we discovered that HPV was present in 43.1% of the CRC patients. When considering viral co-infections, 19.6% of the CRC samples showed coexistence of multiple viruses, while no co-infections were found in the polyps samples. Importantly, we observed a significant correlation between the presence of HPVs and advanced colorectal tumor grades B2 and D.
CONCLUSION: Our findings provide valuable data for the detection of oncogenic viruses in colorectal cancer (CRC) and underscore the association of viral co-infections with advanced tumor stages. However, further research with larger cohorts is necessary to validate these findings and strengthen their significance in the field of CRC.
