OBJECTIVE: Maternal thrombocytopenia during pregnancy may occur due to several possible etiologies, with potential neonatal impact. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is a correlation between maternal and neonatal platelet count among women with thrombocytopenia during pregnancy.
METHODS: A cross-sectional retrospective study (2012-2019) was conducted at a tertiary medical center. Complete blood count was routinely measured in all patients on admission to the delivery ward. Thrombocytopenia was defined as a platelet count below 150 K/μL. Clinical and outcome parameters of thrombocytopenic mothers and their newborns were collected from the electronic files and analyzed by severity of maternal thrombocytopenia.
RESULTS: Of 45 385 women with a documented platelet count at admission, 2841 (6.24%) had thrombocytopenia: 2623 (5.7%) mild (100-149 K/μL), 207 (0.45%) moderate (50-99 K/μL), and 11 (0.02%) severe (<50 K/μL). Eight newborns had thrombocytopenia; corresponding rates by severity of maternal thrombocytopenia were 0.11%, 1.43%, and 18.18% (P = 0.04). None of the thrombocytopenic neonates had an intraventricular hemorrhage or other bleeding complications. The correlation between maternal and neonatal platelet counts was weak (Pearson r = 0.038; P = 0.046).
CONCLUSION: We suggest that although the chances of neonatal thrombocytopenia are higher with worsening maternal thrombocytopenia, actual occurrence is rare, and the correlation is poor. Therefore, maternal thrombocytopenia cannot be regarded as a significant risk factor for neonatal thrombocytopenia. Neonatal platelet count should be obtained when maternal thrombocytopenia is autoimmune or less than 100 K/μL.

The effects of tracheostomy on outcome as well as on intra or post-operative complications is yet to be defined. Admission of patients with tracheostomy to rehabilitation facility is at higher risk of suboptimal care and increased mortality. The aim of the study was to investigate ICU mortality, clinical outcome and quality of life up to 12 months after ICU discharge in tracheostomized critically ill patients. This is a prospective, multi-center, cohort study endorsed by Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Reanimation, and Intensive Care (SIAARTI Prot. n° 643/13) registered in Clinicaltrial.gov (NCT01899352). Patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) and requiring elective tracheostomy according to physician in charge decision were included in the study. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. Secondary outcomes included risk factors for ICU mortality, prevalence of mortality at follow-up, rate of discharge from the hospital and rehabilitation, quality of life, performance status, and management of tracheostomy cannula at 3-, 6, 12-months from the day of tracheostomy. 694 critically ill patients who were tracheostomized in the ICU were included. ICU mortality was 15.8%. Age, SOFA score at the day of the tracheostomy, and days of endotracheal intubation before tracheostomy were risk factors for ICU mortality. The regression tree analysis showed that SOFA score at the day of tracheostomy and age had a preeminent role for the choice to perform the tracheostomy. Of the 694 ICU patients with tracheostomy, 469 completed the 12-months follow-up. Mortality was 33.51% at 3-months, 45.30% at 6-months, and 55.86% at 12-months. Patients with tracheostomy were less likely discharged at home but at hospital facilities or rehabilitative structures; and quality of life of patients with tracheostomy was severely compromised at 3-6 and 12 months when compared with patients without tracheostomy. In patients admitted to ICU, tracheostomy is associated with high mortality, difficult rehabilitation, and decreased quality of life. The choice to perform a tracheostomy should be carefully weighed on family burden and health-related quality of life.Clinical trial registration: Clinicaltrial.gov (NCT01899352).
Carteolol Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution should be used with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to other beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents.

Use with caution in patients with known diminished pulmonary function.

In patients with angle-closure glaucoma, the immediate objective of treatment is to reopen the angle. This requires constricting the pupil with a miotic. Carteolol has little or no effect on the pupil. When Carteolol is used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure in angle-closure glaucoma, it should be used with a miotic and not alone.
Cancers are genetically categorized into common diseases showing a so-called multifactorial inheritance except for rare familial cancers. And as a measure to estimate the strength of genetic factors in the multifactorial diseases, heritability (h2) is generally used. However, there have been few reports on the estimation of heritability for cancers. We calculated the heritability from the incidence in subject population and the familial recurrence rate in first-degree relatives of the affected for cancers quoting the data from a large-scale prospective cohort study by Hidaka et al. published in 2020. This is the first report for heritability of any cancers in Japanese population. The results showed that heritability of overall cancers in Japanese population is 0.064, which is much lower than Nordic population reported by Mucci et al. that was 0.33. For individual cancers, stomach cancer (h2 = 0.14), colorectum cancer (0.006), lung cancer (0.08) and uterine cancer (0.16) accounted for half of the total patients, and each heritability tends to be lower than previously reported for the European descent. The results of this study suggest that heritability of cancers varies greatly by ethnicity. And these results should be important in terms of cancer genetics and in the genetic counseling for cancers.
Participants not currently being treated with an ESA will receive methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta iv or sc once every 2 weeks for correction of renal anemia (target Hb 10-12 g/dL). Once corrected and in participants currently being treated with an ESA, methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta will be administered once monthly.

The mechanical properties of conventional resin composites have been tried to be improved. In addition to the developed mechanical properties, the need for easy and fast application led to the development of flowable composites. Flowable composites have lower filler ratio than conventional hybrid composites so they are less rigid and have lower modulus of elasticity. For these reasons, the use of flowable composites in areas that may be exposed to high forces, especially occlusal cavities, is not recommended. Today, it is aimed to increase the wear resistance by increasing the amount of filler in flowable composites and producing injectable composites. A new product recently introduced to the market, a high-strength nano-filled injectable composite material, GC's G-ænial Universal Injectable(Tokyo,Japan), was also included in the study. This is a low-viscosity composite in which modifications have been made to provide a product with high wear resistance and depth of cure to make it suitable for posterior restorations.

One lesion in each patient will be randomly assigned to be restored using either the G-aenial Universal Injectable or Filtek Z250 resin composites. The adhesive, G2-BOND Universal will be used for adhesive procedures. The clinical procedure for the restorations will be performed by a single operator. The restorations will be evaluated by two calibrated examiners at baseline and at 6, 12, 18, 24 months in accordance with the modified USPHS criteria. Data will be statistically analyzed using the Chi-square and Cochran Q tests (p \< 0.05).

INTRODUCTION: in Senegal, cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancers among women. This study estimated the costs associated with cervical cancer screening and treatment for precancerous lesions from the health system perspective.
METHODS: we estimated costs for screening, diagnostics, and treatment. We conducted a cross-sectional study in seven regions with primary data collected from 50 health facilities. Data collection included structured questionnaires, with secondary data from the Ministry of Health and other sources. A mixed-methods approach combined ingredients-based costing and financial expenditures to estimate direct medical and non-medical costs. All costs are reported in 2019 USD.
RESULTS: average costs were $3.71 for visual inspection with acetic acid, $16.49 for Pap smear, and $46.65 for human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid (HPV DNA) testing. Screening cost drivers were clinical exam supplies and clinical equipment for visual inspection with acetic acid, offsite processing of specimens for Pap smear, and lab equipment costs for HPV DNA procedure. The average cost of diagnosis via colposcopy alone was $25.73, and colposcopy with biopsy/endocervical curettage was $74.96. The average cost of treatment followed by one visit for pre-cancerous lesions was $195.24 for loop electrosurgical excision, $47.35 for cryotherapy, and $32.35 for thermal ablation. Clinical equipment and lab costs were the largest contributors to colposcopy and endocervical curettage/biopsy expenses. Clinical equipment made up the largest portion of cryotherapy, loop electrosurgical excision, and thermoablation costs.
CONCLUSION: this study is the first to estimate the costs of HPV screening and treatment in Senegal, which can be used to inform decision-making on cervical cancer investments.
Generally, it is recommended that Zithranol-RR cream be applied once a day. Anthralin is known to be a potential skin irritant. The irritant potential of anthralin is directly related to the strength being used, the time of contact, and each patient’s individual tolerance. Where the response to anthralin treatment has not previously been established, commence treatment using a short contact time (5 – 15 min.) for at least one week. When a short contact time is used initially, it can be increased stepwise to thirty minutes before removing the cream by washing or showering. The optimal period of contact will vary according to the patient’s response to treatment. 

For the skin: Apply sparingly to the psoriatic lesions avoiding normal skin and rub gently and carefully into the skin. Avoid applying an excessive quantity which may cause unnecessary soiling and staining of the clothing and/or bed linen. At the end of each period of treatment, rinse the skin thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water before washing with soap. The margins of the lesions may gradually become stained purple/brown as treatment progresses, but this will disappear after cessation of treatment. 

For the scalp: Wash the hair with shampoo, rinse with water and apply Zithranol-RR cream while the hair is still damp. Rub the cream well into the psoriatic lesions. Keep Zithranol-RR cream away from the eyes. Care should be taken to avoid application to uninvolved scalp margins. Remove any unintended residue which may be deposited behind the ears. At the end of each period of contact, rinse hair and scalp thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water and then shampoo the hair and scalp to remove any surplus cream. This treatment may be repeated on alternate days if necessary.
Myopia is the most common refractive error and a major reason for reducing uncorrected visual acuity among schoolchildren. It was reported that during COVID-19, home confinement resulted in a significant increase in myopia due to the changed lifestyle of schoolchildren dramatically. However, it is unclear which kind of risk factors should be the first to bear the brunt before and during COVID-19. And which factors should be emphasized and confronted as the optimum strategy for myopia prevention and control? This cohort study aims to determine the risk factors, prevalence, and incidence of myopia, and SE changes among schoolchildren before and during COVID-19, hence identifying the factors that impact the onset and progression of myopia.

This is a 3-year cross-sectional study. This study plans to enroll 126,810 participants (aged 6-18 years) from Tianjin, China. All grade students from 10 regions of Tianjin City, China will be analyzed. Over a 3-year follow-up period, students will receive detailed eye examinations annually and complete questionnaires about eye-use environment, eye-use habits, lifestyle, and family and subjective factors. In a 5% random sample size of this cohort study, outdoor activity, light intensity, eye use habits, and eye use environment data will be obtained using objective measuring devices. Myopia was defined as spherical equivalent refractive (SER) of ≤ -0.5D.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes and their relationship with different grades of cytological lesions in female students of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the National University of Chimborazo. Material and Methods: The research had a quantitative and descriptive approach, with a comparative analysis of HPV genotypes and cytological lesions in students of the Faculty of Health Sciences. It is an experimental and field study, cross-sectional and retrospective, conducted from November 2023 to March 2024. Thirty students were selected by quota sampling, analyzing conventional cytology and data using SPSS 26. The results showed that 75.8% of the samples had Bethesda Negative results, whereas 24.2% had some degree of cytological lesion (ASC-US 13.7%, L-SIL 8.1%, H-SIL 1.6%, and ASC-H 0.8%). Genotyping showed the high prevalence of HPV, with HPV 18 and 33 being the most common high-risk genotypes. The most common low-risk indicators were HPV 43 and 42. Conclusions: The study confirmed the high prevalence of HPV among female university students and established a significant correlation between high-risk genotypes and the presence of more severe cytological lesions. These findings underscore the need for interventions aimed at prevention and early treatment of HPV, especially in high-risk populations.
FIELD: medicine, neurology. SUBSTANCE: preliminary three types of reflex level were determined in patients: hand, knee and footing reflexes. Then patients were selected that show similar reflex level by vertical site but - different from other one and reflex levels were differentiated as low, moderate and pathologically high. Then patients showing the moderate footing reflex and with different reflex levels of all three types by vertical were selected. Acidum picricum in combination with Barium preparations, or with Chinin valerian, or with Ambra grisea were prescribed to patients with low reflex level on other site. Their combinations with Hypericum - if this reflex level is moderate, and in combination with Lathyrus sativum - if this reflex level is pathologically high. EFFECT: improved method of treatment, enhanced effectiveness.
Placebo administered orally every 12 hours on Days 1 to 28 of a 28-day cycle in combination with fulvestrant 500mg administered IM on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1, then on Day 1 of Cycle 2 and beyond. Participants received treatment until discontinuation were met.
Combination therapy with the synergistic effect is an effective way in cancer chemotherapy. Herein, an antiangiogenic sorafenib (SOR) and hypoxia-activated prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ)-coencapsulated liposome (LipTPZ/SOR) is prepared for chemotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). SOR is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can inhibit tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis. The antiangiogenesis effect of SOR can reduce oxygen supply and aggravate tumor hypoxia, which is able to activate hypoxia-sensitive prodrug TPZ, exhibiting the synergistic antitumor effect. LipTPZ/SOR at different molar ratios of TPZ and SOR can significantly inhibit the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. The mole ratio of TPZ and SOR was optimized to 2:1, which exhibited the best synergetic antitumor effect. The synergistic antitumor mechanism of SOR and TPZ was also investigated in vivo. After treated with SOR, the number of vessels was decreased, and the degree of hypoxia was aggravated in tumor tissues. What is more, in the presence of SOR, TPZ could be activated to inhibit tumor growth. The combination of TPZ and SOR exhibited an excellent synergistic antitumor effect. This research not only provides an innovative strategy to aggravate tumor hypoxia to promote TPZ activation but also paints a blueprint about a new nanochemotherapy regimen for the synergistic chemotherapy of HCC, which has excellent biosafety and bright clinical application prospects.
BACKGROUND: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is a standard procedure for early-stage breast cancer (BC) patients with three or more positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). However, ALND can lead to significant postoperative complications without always providing additional clinical benefits. This study aims to develop machine-learning (ML) models to predict non-sentinel lymph node (non-SLN) metastasis in Chinese BC patients with three or more positive SLNs, potentially allowing the omission of ALND.
METHODS: Data from 2217 BC patients who underwent SLN biopsy at Shantou University Medical College were analyzed, with 634 having positive SLNs. Patients were categorized into those with ≤ 2 positive SLNs and those with ≥ 3 positive SLNs. We applied nine ML algorithms to predict non-SLN metastasis. Model performance was evaluated using ROC curves, precision-recall curves, and calibration curves. Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) assessed the clinical utility of the models.
RESULTS: The RF model showed superior predictive performance, achieving an AUC of 0.987 in the training set and 0.828 in the validation set. Key predictive features included size of positive SLNs, tumor size, number of SLNs, and ER status. In external validation, the RF model achieved an AUC of 0.870, demonstrating robust predictive capabilities.
CONCLUSION: The developed RF model accurately predicts non-SLN metastasis in BC patients with ≥ 3 positive SLNs, suggesting that ALND might be avoided in selected patients by applying additional axillary radiotherapy. This approach could reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve patient quality of life. Further validation in prospective clinical trials is warranted.
