A computer site (2a) includes a data generating source (not shown). In one implementation, the source includes a device (not shown) that can be manipulated by a patient to sense some function or condition of the patient. One example is a heart monitor (not shown) that a patient can hold against his or her chest. The device outputs an audible signal responsive to a patient's physiological function or condition. A computer (not shown) that can be operated by the patient or other initial user at the site (2a) runs a program that processes an electric signal generated in response to the audible signal as received through a microphone (not shown) connected to the computer. The program is downloaded or otherwise accessed through a computer communication network (4), such as the Internet. The computer sends resulting data signals over the computer communications network (4). Using this system and computer communications network (4), a number of patients (2a-2n) may provide real-time information about their personal medical condition to their personal medical care providers.
BACKGROUND: Regional anesthesia is the favored choice in ruminant animals compared to general anesthesia, primarily due to its high safety margin and reduced demand for cost-intensive equipment in addition to its field applicability. Ultrasound-guided nerve block has gained significant attention in the field of veterinary medicine. This study utilized twenty-seven sheep of the native Rahmani breed to both demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of the ultrasound guided inferior alveolar nerve block technique.
METHODS: The research comprised three phases: Phase 1 involved an anatomical examination of mandibles and sheep heads to locate the mandibular foramen and delineate the mandibular nerve course. Phase 2 included ultrasound-guided injection of methylene blue dye at specific sites along the mandibular nerve in cadaveric sheep heads. In Phase 3, clinical implementation of ultrasound-guided inferior alveolar nerve blocks was conducted in 27 live sheep, assessing efficacy, onset, and duration.
RESULTS: Vertical extraoral ultrasound-guided nerve block was achieved successfully in 25 sheep (98%). A preliminary cadaveric study showed good distribution of the injectate at the mandibular nerve site. The mean onset time was 138 ± 18 s, and the mean duration time was 54 ± 4.1 min. Prominent analgesia of the ipsilateral mandible, medial surface of the cheek, and lateral border of the tongue was observed.
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided mandibular nerve block holds promise as a technique for providing effective and safe anesthesia in sheep undergoing mandibular procedures.
OBJECTIVE: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are cerebral vascular lesions that occasionally occur with seizures. We present a retrospective case series from IRCCS Gaslini Children's Hospital, a systematic review, and meta-analysis of the literature with the goal of elucidating the post-surgery seizure outcome in children with CCMs.
METHODS: a retrospective review of children with cavernous malformation related epilepsy who underwent surgery at Gaslini Children's Hospital from 2005 to 2022 was conducted. We also conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases from January 1989 to August 2022. Inclusion criteria were: presence of CCMs-related epilepsy, in under 18 years old subjects with a clear lesion site. Presence of post-surgery seizure outcome and follow-up ≥ 12 months.
RESULTS: we identified 30 manuscripts and 223 patients with CCMs-related epilepsy, including 17 patients reported in our series. We identified 85.7% Engel class I subjects. The risk of expected neurological deficits was 3.7%; that of unexpected neurological deficits 2.8%. We found no statistically significant correlations between Engel class and the following factors: site of lesion, type of seizure, drug resistance, duration of disease, type of surgery, presence of multiple CCMs. However, we found some interesting trends: longer disease duration and drug resistance seem to be more frequent in subjects in Engel class II, III and IV; multiple cavernomas would not seem to influence seizure outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: epilepsy surgery in children with CCMs is a safe and successful treatment option. Further studies are necessary to define the impact of clinical features on seizure prognosis.
PURPOSE:To obtain easily and continuously a hydrated alginic acid film free from a dispersion of the contained effective components by applying an aqueous solution of a soluble calcium salt to the surface of a substrate for supporting and applying an aqueous solution of a soluble alginic acid salt to the film to allow it to gel. CONSTITUTION:An aqueous solution of a soluble calcium slat (e.g. calcium chloride) is applied to the surface of a substrate such as a plastic film, a nonwoven fabric or paper by, e.g. spraying. An aqueous solution of an alginic acid salt (e.g. sodium alginate) containing a desired effective component (e.g. a pharmaceutical component or a humectant) and having a specified viscosity is applied thereto by, e.g. casting. By forming a gel film by allowing the aqueous solution of an alginic acid salt to gel by the action of calcium ions, a hydrated alginic acid film desirable as an external preparation such as a pharmaceutical or a cosmetic is obtained.
Obstetric hemorrhage is the most common cause of maternal mortality worldwide and its incidence is estimated to be approximately 24%. A series of studies has shown that the risk of serious postpartum hemorrhage decreases with correct and active management in the third stage of labor. And the routine use of uterotonic agents underlies effective management. It has been reported that the routine use of uterotonic agents (oxytocin, carbetocin, ergometrine, etc.) reduces the risk of postpartum bleeding by 40% on average. However, the uterotonic agent and dose protocol are still unclear. Oxytocin is the most preferred agent for postpartum hemorrhage prophylaxis after vaginal and cesarean delivery in cases without risk factors, as it has a rapid onset of effect, does not increase blood pressure, and does not cause a retained placenta. In cases where oxytocin cannot be used, other agents of choice are ergot derivatives and misoprostol. The use of carbetocin, a long-acting oxytocin analogue, is now recommended in the guidelines for risky vaginal deliveries and postpartum hemorrhage prophylaxis after C-section. Carbetocin also reduces the need for additional uterotonics. Although carbetocin has been approved for use by the ministry of health, it still has limited clinical use in Turkey. It is vital for the medical community to have more experience with using carbetocin, an agent cited in medical guidelines and is also available in our country, and to share their experiences on academic platforms. This study intends to investigate oxytocin and carbetocin, which are uterotonic agents used during C-section, in terms of haemodynamic changes they cause, their effects on the uterine tone and on bleeding as well as their side effects (flushing, headache, back pain, hypertension and tachycardia, nausea-vomiting, etc.), to determine if there are any differences between them and share our insights with the reader.
Stroke, also called cerebrovascular disease, is a sudden-onset neurological disorder that causes a regional or general dysfunction in the brain due to vascular causes. Dysphagia, one of the common complications of stroke, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical evaluation of swallowing in stroke patients and to determine the factors affecting the severity and prognosis of dysphagia in patients with dysphagia.Fifty-five patients with acute stroke and dysphagia who were admitted to Ankara City Hospital Neurology Clinic and diagnosed with stroke by neurology and who did not meet the exclusion criteria will be included in this study. When the patients are admitted to the neurology clinic and will be discharged, they will be evaluated three times, in the first month after discharge. Clinical evaluations will be made by the responsible investigator in the examination room. Patients will be evaluated with a bedside swallowing screening test. Patients will be divided into 3 groups as mild, moderate and severe dysphagia according to the test. The patients will be evaluated while they are in the neurology clinic and 1 month after the treatment is given.

In studies conducted in rats in which cholestyramine resin was used as a tool to investigate the role of various intestinal factors, such as fat, bile salts and microbial flora, in the development of intestinal tumors induced by potent carcinogens, the incidence of such tumors was observed to be greater in cholestyramine resin-treated rats than in control rats.

  


The relevance of this laboratory observation from studies in rats to the clinical use of cholestyramine resin is not known. In the LRC-CPPT study referred to above, the total incidence of fatal and nonfatal neoplasms was similar in both treatment groups. When the many different categories of tumors are examined, various alimentary system cancers were somewhat more prevalent in the cholestyramine group. The small numbers and the multiple categories prevent conclusions from being drawn. However, in view of the fact that cholestyramine resin is confined to the GI tract and not absorbed and in light of the animal experiments referred to above, a six-year post-trial follow-up of the LRC-CPPT5 patient population has been completed (a total of 13.4 years of in-trial plus post-trial follow-up) and revealed no significant difference in the incidence of cause-specific mortality or cancer morbidity between cholestyramine and placebo treated patients.
Chronic histiocytic intervillositis of unknown origin (CHI) is a rare placental disorder associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, frequent recurrence, and a lack of effective preventive strategies. Recent insights indicate a potential link between CHI-associated inflammatory lesions and the inflammasome pathway, suggesting innovative therapeutic avenues. Here we show a potential role of the inflammasome pathway in CHI through comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of grade 2 or 3 histopathologic CHI samples, paired with placental controls. Additionally, we present case studies of three individuals with recurrent CHI, who have undergone treatment with anakinra and colchicine throughout pregnancy, resulting in improved perinatal outcomes. Notably, all cases are characterized by the birth of healthy, full-term infants, with reduced or absent intervillositis recurrence. Placental assessment unveils heightened activation of the NLRP3-PYCARD inflammasome pathway and IL-1β processing in CHI samples, with downregulation observed in treated pregnancy samples, devoid of intervillositis. Collectively, these findings suggest a potential therapeutic role for targeting the inflammasome pathway in preventing recurrent CHI in pregnant individuals.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an ECM scaffold graft to augment repair of a large/massive rotator cuff tear. The study will involve 70 patients. 35 patients will be randomly assigned to each arm of the study.

Despite advances in surgical technology, repairs of large (3-5 cm) and massive (\>5 cm) rotator cuff tears (RCT) fail between 20%-90% of the time \[1\]. Due to their size and increased structural involvement, large or massive RCT present a substantial challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. \[16\] The repairs tend to fail at the suture-tendon junction, which is due to several factors, including tension at the repair and quality of the tendon \[1-2,5\]. Full thickness tears are uncommon in younger patients, especially those less than forty years old and are usually traumatic in etiology. Younger patients also typically fair better following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with fewer failures and more successful return to pre-injury level of function \[16\]. One strategy to augment repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears has been the development of biological scaffold materials, which are composed of extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM composing the scaffolds are made from a number of tissues, including, but not limited to, small intestinal submucosa (SIS), dermis, and pericardium \[3\]. Studies to date include both prospective and retrospective in animal and human models, and include Restore, a porcine-derived SIS by DePuy Orthopaedics, GraftJacket, a human-derived, non-cross-linked dermis graft by Wright Medical Technology, and Zimmer Collagen Repair, a cross-linked porcine derived dermal graft made by Zimmer. Restore studies have shown no benefit and some even an increase in repair failure with recommendations not to use to augment repair. GraftJacket studies have shown a reduction in graft failure; however, several of the Restore and GraftJacket studies are limited by a lack of a control cohort. The Zimmer graft studies have conflicting results with both an improvement and no improvement in failure rates of repair. The prior studies listed are all in vivo; however, the majority are not randomized trials and thus do not have a control with which to compare data. In addition, some trials include open repairs. A lack of prospective, randomized, controlled, in vivo trials exist that evaluate the ability of the ECM scaffold graft augmentation in large to massive arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs to decrease the failure rate.

Emergency department patients receiving opioid pain medicine such as morphine, fentanyl, or Dilaudid are eligible. After receiving the pain medication, a small soft plastic tube will be placed between the upper lip and nose. This tube is used to measure the amount of carbon dioxide the patient is breathing out. It can also be used to deliver oxygen if the provider feels the patient needs it. The carbon dioxide breathed out is measured and collected. Other information collected are height, weight, and vital signs. Patient participation time is approximately 2 hours during the emergency department visit.
Older adults with depression often also suffer from executive dysfunction-problems with planning, impulse control, and reasoning. Executive dysfunction in older adults predicts poor or delayed response to antidepressant treatment and has been associated with early relapse and recurrence of late-life major depression. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a scan that can measure the activity of someone's brain while that person performs tasks. So far, no fMRI studies investigating cerebral activation patterns in late-life depression have been published. In this study, people will undergo fMRI while they are performing an executive function task. Older adults with late-life depression and older adults without depression will be tested and compared in order to identify the areas and patterns of brain activity underlying executive dysfunction in late-life depression.

Participation in this study will consist of one study visit, during which participants will undergo an fMRI scan that will last 60 to 90 minutes. While being scanned, participants will perform cognitive tasks that involve pressing buttons in response to words viewed on a screen.

The liniment is better refined, the efficacy is more remarkable, and the clinic efficacy is good.
There are 2 sections of this trial. Step1: the patients will be treated with 4 cycles of POR regimen （Pomalidomide 4mg d1-d14, Orelabrutinib 150mg d1-d21, Rituximab 375mg/m2 d1, 21 days per cycle). The response will be evaluated every 2 cycles. The patients with PD will drop out of the study. Step2: Patients with CR/PR/SD after 4 cycles of POR treatment will be treated with 2 cycles of RO-MTX regimen（methotrexate 3.5g/m2 civ d1, Orelabrutinib 150mg d1-d21, Rituximab 375mg/m2 d1, 21 days per cycle). After 6 cycles of induction therapy, all patients were followed for survival data every 12 week until disease progression, disease recurrence, death, or study termination. Patients with progression were also followed up for survival data as above. Overall survival will be followed up to 3 years after the last subject entered the study. Establishing the feasibility of chemo-free treatment in primary central nervous system lymphoma will provide the foundation for a larger study of efficacy and long-term outcomes of chemo-free therapy for patients with PCNSL.
INTRODUCTION: The present study aimed to examine the correlation between serum cytokine levels and the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), a leading cause of mortality globally, which is known to have a strong association with inflammatory factors. The study further sought to determine the predictors of CAD to distinguish patients with coronary artery lesions from those suspected of having CAD.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, 487 patients who underwent coronary angiography as a result of suspected CAD but without acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were recruited. The serum levels of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon (IFN)-α, and IFN-γ were measured using a multiplexed particle-based flow cytometric assay technique. The results of the study revealed that the levels of IL-4, IL-12p70, IL-17, IFN-α, and IFN-γ in the CAD group were significantly lower compared to those in the non-CAD group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that two serum cytokines (IL-4 and IL-17), one protective factor (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]), and three risk factors (sex, smoking, and diabetes) were independently predictive of CAD. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the combined use of these predictors in a multivariate model demonstrated good predictive performance for CAD, as evidenced by an area under the curve value of 0.826.
CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicated that serum IL-4 and IL-17 levels serve as independent predictors of CAD. The risk prediction model established in the research, which integrates these serum cytokines (IL-4 and IL-17) with relevant clinical risk factors (gender, smoking, and diabetes) and the protective factor HDL-C, holds the potential to differentiate patients with CAD from those suspected of having CAD but without AMI.
