1,143,977. Artificial nails. INTER-TAYLOR A.G. 14 June, 1966 [22 June, 1965; 9 Feb., 1966], No. 26370/66. Addition to 985,388. Heading A5R [Also in Division C3] A kit of parts providing for securing a prefabricated finger or toe-nail to a natural nail comprises a prefabricated nail consisting of a material which is an acrylic or methacrylic polymer or a polycarbonate, an adhesive which contains the same material as that of the prefabricated nail along with the reducing component of a two component adhesive and peroxide catalyst system, and a priming liquid containing the peroxide component. In use, the priming liquid is applied to the natural nail and is optionally coated onto the inside surface of the prefabricated nail. The polymerisable adhesive is then used to secure the prefabricated nail to the natural nail and the excess adhesive is smoothed off or acts as a filler between the natural nail and a prefabricated nail which is too small. The prefabricated nail (d) may comprise polymethacrylate, the priming liquid may comprise polymethyl methacrylate, benzoyl peroxide, dibutyl phthalate, and methyl ethyl ketone, and the adhesive may comprise polymethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, N, N - dimethyl - p - toluidine, titanium dioxide, and hydroquinone, the parts being exemplified by weight.
Previous investigations have suggested a potential association between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with telomere length (TL) in various tissues of pregnant women and newborns. Nonetheless, as association does not imply causation, our objective was to investigate the causal connections among pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, and TL in amniotic fluid. The analysis included 136 mother-child pairs from the Mamma & Bambino cohort, and three causal graph models were developed to depict the interconnections between pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, and TL. Causal graph analysis was conducted utilizing the do-operator to estimate the causal effect of GWG and the controlled direct effect of pregestational BMI. We revealed that transitioning from non-adequate to adequate GWG had a positive impact on the probability of having "long" TL (i.e., a value greater than the population median) in all three models. When considering the effect of pre-pregnancy BMI, the highest probability of "long" TL was observed in normal weight women with adequate GWG. In contrast, the effect of adequate GWG became minimal among overweight women. These results shed light on the potential causality between pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, and TL in amniotic fluid, emphasizing the importance of appropriate weight management before and during pregnancy for optimal TL outcomes.
The problem of multi-class classification is always a challenge in the field of EEG (electroencephalogram)-based seizure detection. The traditional studies focus on computing or learning a set of features from EEG to distinguish between different patterns. However, the extraction of characteristic information becomes increasingly difficult as the number of EEG types increases. To address this issue, a creative EEG classification technique is proposed by employing a principal component analysis network (PCANet) coupled with phase space reconstruction (PSR) and power spectrum density (PSD). We have introduced the PSR and PSD to prepare the inputs, where dynamic and frequency information are exposed from deep within PCANet. It is remarkable that a layered cascade strategy is designed to make a powerful deep learner according to the rule of one network vs one task (OVO). The proposed method has achieved greater effects than the individual models and shown superior performance in comparison with state-of-the-art algorithms, which present 98.0% of sensitivity, 99.90% of specificity, and 99.07% of accuracy. Our ensemble PCANet model works in an assembly line-like manner, obviating the need for hand-craft features. Results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can greatly enhances the accuracy and robustness of seizure detection from EEG signals.
Hypertension incidence and overweight or obesity related, constitute a worrying public health problem nowadays. In this sense, healthy eating and regular physical activity have demonstrated a relevant role maintaining health while ageing. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been shown as a useful way to promote health, improving motivation and overcoming difficulties to maintain a healthy lifestyle. ICTs also reach a wider audience at a lower cost, due to their good cost-benefit relationship and the possibility of increasing the efficiency of interventions.

This research will constitute a 3 years follow-up which includes a re-assessment and re-intervention of obese or overweight adults with hypertension, recruited from a hypertension unit of a public hospital, that already participated in a similar program 3 years ago. At the same time, the aim of the study is to analyze the effects of the current program, which will take 3 months and promotes lifestyle changes focusing on healthy eating and increased physical activity in their 9 modules, comparing the results obtained in 2018. These patients will be allocated into one experimental group. Assessment will include: Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Physical Activity levels, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
Evidence linking the endothelium to cardiac injury in long coronavirus disease (COVID) is well documented, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here we show that cytokines released by endothelial cells (ECs) contribute to long-COVID-associated cardiac dysfunction. Using thrombotic vascular tissues from patients with long COVID and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived ECs (iPSC-ECs), we modeled endotheliitis and observed similar dysfunction and cytokine upregulation, notably CCL2. Cardiac organoids comprising iPSC-ECs and iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes showed cardiac dysfunction after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exposure, driven by CCL2. Profiling of chromatin accessibility and gene expression at a single-cell resolution linked CCL2 to 'phenotype switching' and cardiac dysfunction, validated by high-throughput proteomics. Disease modeling of cardiac organoids and exposure of human ACE2 transgenic mice to SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins revealed that CCL2-induced oxidative stress promoted post-translational modification of cardiac proteins, leading to cardiac dysfunction. These findings suggest that EC-released cytokines contribute to cardiac dysfunction in long COVID, highlighting the importance of early vascular health monitoring in patients with long COVID.
INTRODUCTION: the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in children is very high in Morocco. Eradication rates of H. pylori infection decrease due to the emergence of resistance to antibiotics. Data on the antimicrobial susceptibility of H. pylori in Moroccan children are not available. This study aims to assess the prevalence of H. pylori infection and the metronidazole resistance rate of H. pylori in Moroccan pediatric patients, and their association with epidemiologic factors.
METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted on 132 pediatric patients who had an indication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and attended pediatric hospital Abderrahim Harouchi of the University Hospital Ibn Rochd, Casablanca, Morocco. Detection of H. pylori infection and the susceptibility to metronidazole was performed by classic PCR. Statistical analysis was performed using R Studio software.
RESULTS: the overall prevalence of H. pylori infection was 80.3%. vomiting was significantly associated with H. pylori infection (p-value=0.01). Regarding the resistance rate of metronidazole, we found that the prevalence of H. pylori resistance to metronidazole was high (70.8%) and it significantly increased, especially in pediatric patients living in urban areas (p-value=0.01).
CONCLUSION: the prevalence of H. pylori infection and resistance rate of metronidazole were very high in Moroccan children. Therefore, triple therapy with metronidazole must be preceded by a study of the bacterium's susceptibility to the prescribed antibiotics, in particular to metronidazole.
BACKGROUND: Itch is the most common symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD) and significantly decreases the quality of life. Skin microbiome is involved in AD pathogenesis, whereas its role in the regulation of itch remains elusive. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of skin microbial metabolite propionate on acute and chronic pruritus and to explore the mechanism.
METHODS: Using various mouse models of itch, the roles of propionate were explored by behavioral tests and histopathology/immunofluorescent analysis. Primary-cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons and HEK293 cells expressing recombinant human TRP channels were utilized for in vitro calcium imaging/in vivo miniature two-photon imaging in combination with electrophysiology and molecular docking approaches for investigation of the mechanism.
RESULTS: Propionate significantly alleviated itch and alloknesis in various mouse models of pruritus and AD and decreased the density of intraepidermal nerve fibers. Propionate reduced the responsiveness of dorsal root ganglion neurons to pruritogens in vitro, attenuated the hyper-excitability in sensory neurons in MC903-induced AD model, and inhibited capsaicin-evoked hTRPV1 currents (IC50 = 20.08 ± 1.11 μM) via interacting with the vanilloid binding site. Propionate also decreased the secretion of calcitonin gene-related peptide by nerves in MC903-induced AD mouse model, which further attenuated itch and skin inflammation.
CONCLUSION: Our study revealed a protective effect of propionate against persistent itch through direct modulation of sensory TRP channels and neuropeptide production in neurons. Regulation of itch via the skin microbiome might be a novel strategy for the treatment of AD.
Patients who qualified as 'hemoglobin responders' in Period 2 will participate in Period 3. Patients will continue to take Shohl's solution and Triferic at their titrated dose for an additional six months to confirm that their hemoglobin can be maintained over an extended period of time. The period will be comprised of 3 study visits, scheduled every 8 weeks.
Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is the most common glomerulonephritis of childhood, and clinical presentation can vary widely. This case report presents an atypical manifestation of APSGN in an 8-year-old female patient with pleuritic chest pain and elevated troponin-I, despite lacking classical kidney symptoms. Imaging studies showed cardiomegaly and interstitial lung opacities. Further investigations revealed hematuria and proteinuria, and the diagnosis was confirmed through elevated antistreptolysin-O (ASO) titers and low complement 3 (C3) levels. The patient was successfully managed with fluid restriction, diuretics, and antihypertensives, resulting in the resolution of symptoms and normalization of laboratory values. This case highlights the significance of recognizing atypical manifestations of APSGN for ensuring prompt diagnosis and proper management in the pediatric population.

This is a non-interventional, observational and prospective study to evaluate efficacy and safety of trabectedin in routine practice. Patients are assigned to a therapeutic strategy within current practice, not according to a trial protocol. The prescription of the medicine is separated from the decision to include the patient in the study. Diagnostic or monitoring procedures are only those ordinarily applied to the therapeutic strategy.

There are no dose regimens or medical procedures defined within this study plan. Every medical decision and course of treatment with trabectedin will reflect exclusively the decision of the Investigator in a routine clinical situation according to SmPC. The concept of this non-interventional study and its documentation procedure will not affect in any way the routine treatment situation.
Paternal contributions to fertility and reproductive health outcomes have been understudied, despite promising evidence from animal studies. This study aims to investigate the male contribution to pregnancy likelihood and explore the underlying biological mechanisms. Specifically, the investigators aim to (1) identify male factors associated with pregnancy rate; (2) develop a fertility index combining modifiable factors for both males and females to predict pregnancy rate; and (3) explore the relationship of male modifiable factors with semen physical and molecular characteristics. This is a case-control study with 480 fertile and subfertile males (along with their female partners), recruited from KK Women's and Children's Hospital. The investigators will use questionnaires to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, clinical, lifestyle, and environmental factors; analyze metabolic and stress biomarkers from blood samples; and measure semen parameters including sperm motility, density, morphology, volume, DNA fragmentation, DNA methylation, gene expression, and seminal plasma oxidative status. Findings from this proposed study will pave the way for developing lifestyle-based or medical interventions to enhance male and couple reproductive health, and potentially benefiting future offspring health.
Women ages 22-26 will be offered concomitant vaccination (1 dose of Gardasil9) and HPV screening. A second dose of Gardasil9 will be administered 3 years later.
The investigators will study use a novel method of real-time wireless adherence monitoring in one of the best established multi-disciplinary HIV antiretroviral treatment cohorts in rural Africa. The investigators will advance our theoretical understanding of HIV antiretroviral adherence behavior, HIV pathogenesis, and to address the monitoring and prevention of HIV antiretroviral treatment failure. Based on a successful pilot study in rural Uganda and favorable cost-effective estimates, the investigators will deploy the Wisepill real-time wireless adherence monitoring system to objectively monitor adherence in real time. The investigators will determine to what extent social capital mitigates economic barriers to long-term adherence and determine if the pervasive impact of stigma on adherence operates through social capital (Aim 1). The investigators will determine the relationship between missed doses, low-level viremia (between 1 and 50 copies RNA/mL), inflammation, bacterial translocation, suboptimal CD4 response, and mortality (Aim 2). Finally, The investigators will examine the relationship between complex adherence patterns and viral failure to both inform selective viral load monitoring and to lay the foundation for the first-of-kind intervention to prevent viral failure after missed doses, but before viral rebound (Aim 3). The investigators will secure behavioral and biologic data over nine years of potential treatment by recruiting 500 additional people to our existing cohort in Mbarara, Uganda for a total of 750 participants.
The incidence of gynecologic surgery during the pediatric and adolescent period remains low. In this age group, the causes of gynecologic surgery were usually divided into three parts, congenital anomalies, genital traumas, and pathologic lesions of genital tract including uterine bady and cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. Among these, adnexal masses generally have been the most common cause of gynecologic surgery in the pediatric and adolescent patients. Adnexal lesions span a spectrum of pathology from functional (non-neoplastic), benign to highly aggressive malignant neoplasms. The actual incidence of adnexal lesions in the young women is unknown; however, of the ovarian neoplasms operated on during childhood or adolescence, 10-30% are malignant. Therefore, early detection and adequate management of adnexal lesions are prerequisite for the life saving and future preservation of fertility potential. But until now, there have been limited studies regarding the clinical characteristics of patients with adnexal mass during this period, and most studies have been conducted with small numbers of patients. Therefore, more informations regarding the clinical characteristics of patients with adnexal lesions are very important for the early diagnosis and adequate management of the adnexal lesions in children and adolescents.

In this study, we reviewed the clinical characteristics of 494 young Korean patients who took the operation in university hospital with adnexal lesions over the past 14 years.
Fifteen patients using toothbrush and oral irrigator (Aquapick, AQ-300, Aquapick Co, Ltd, Korea). All patients were told to use Modified Bass method of tooth brushing technique. PI, GI, PPD and CAL values were measured with William's probe (Hu-Fried, Chicago, IL, A.B.D) around the teeth. All clinical parameters were evaluated on each of the six regions of the teeth (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, disto-lingual). GCF (gingival crevicular fluid) samples was collected one day after the clinical examination from buccal aspects of the mesial and distal surfaces at the interproximal sites for the evaluation of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-8 mediators. Following the initial clinical records, all patients were performed full mouth instrumentation and described oral hygiene procedure according to their groups.
Patients should be informed that AUGMENTIN may be taken every 8 hours or every 12 hours, depending on the dose prescribed. Each dose should be taken with a meal or snack to reduce the possibility of gastrointestinal upset.

Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs, including AUGMENTIN, should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold). When AUGMENTIN is prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may: (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment, and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by AUGMENTIN or other antibacterial drugs in the future.

Counsel patients that diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibacterials, and it usually ends when the antibacterial is discontinued. Sometimes after starting treatment with antibacterials, patients can develop watery and bloody stools (with or without stomach cramps and fever) even as late as 2 or more months after having taken their last dose of the antibacterial. If diarrhea is severe or lasts more than 2 or 3 days, patients should contact their physician.

Patients should be advised to keep suspension refrigerated. Shake well before using. When dosing a child with the suspension (liquid) of AUGMENTIN, use a dosing spoon or medicine dropper. Be sure to rinse the spoon or dropper after each use. Bottles of suspension of AUGMENTIN may contain more liquid than required. Follow your doctor’s instructions about the amount to use and the days of treatment your child requires. Discard any unused medicine.

Patients should be aware that AUGMENTIN contains a penicillin class drug product that can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

Intracerebral aneurysms (IAs) are pathological dilatations of cerebral arteries whose rupture leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage, a significant cause of disability and death. Inflammation is recognized as a critical contributor to the formation, growth, and rupture of IAs; however, its precise actors have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we report CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs), also known as border-associated macrophages, as one of the key players in IA pathogenesis, acting as critical mediators of inflammatory processes related to IA ruptures. Using a new mouse model of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms we show that CAMs accumulate in the IA walls. This finding was confirmed in a human MCA aneurysm obtained after surgical clipping, together with other pathological characteristics found in the experimental model including morphological changes and inflammatory cell infiltration. In addition, in vivo longitudinal molecular MRI studies revealed vascular inflammation strongly associated with the aneurysm area, i.e., high expression of VCAM-1 and P-selectin adhesion molecules, which precedes and predicts the bleeding extent in the case of IA rupture. Specific CAM depletion by intracerebroventricular injection of clodronate liposomes prior to IA induction reduced IA formation and rupture rate. Moreover, the absence of CAMs ameliorated the outcome severity of IA ruptures resulting in smaller hemorrhages, accompanied by reduced neutrophil infiltration. Our data shed light on the unexplored role of CAMs as main actors orchestrating the progression of IAs towards a rupture-prone state.
