This is a 1:1 ratio single center, double-blind, RCT on the diuretic and decongestive effects of oral acetazolamide in Iranian patients with HF. This study will be conducted on heart failure patients whose symptoms of congestion are not relieved by oral diuretics and are temporarily hospitalized in a section called the infusion ward and receive intravenous diuretics. The infusion unit is a separate unit where patients with heart failure who are not adequately relieved by oral diuretics are admitted for a short period of time and receive injectable furosemide. In this study, 250 mg acetazolamide tablets and placebo and furosemide 20 mg will be used. The medical information of the patients will be recorded, patients' clinical status will be evaluated by calculating the EVEREST score at baseline and third day , the weight and laboratory indices will also be measured at baseline and third day based on the same scale and fixed laboratory kits, respectively. Blood pressure will be also measured by an expert nurse at the baseline and each day before the furosemide injection by the same blood pressure cuff. Patients will be followed for clinical events to day 90. The protocol was drafted according to the standard protocol items for clinical trials) SPIRIT) guideline for randomized clinical trial protocols.

Study objectives The main objective is to determine the effect of oral acetazolamide and furosemide, as a loop diuretic, combination therapy on improvement of the congestion in patients at baseline and third day. Urinary sodium to creatinine ratio is an indicator in this objective and will be measured at 2 P.M. in these days.

Prespecified secondary objectives included the following: N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level on the 30th day, the hospitalization rate in a three-month period, comparison of quality of life between two groups at the end of the third month and change in weight, creatinine level, urinary sodium excretion, potassium level, and hematological indices in complete blood count (CBC) at third day of the trial. At the end of the third month, we will assess our patients' quality of life using the Iranian Heart Failure Quality of Life (IHFQoL) Questionnaire. The validity and reliability of this questionnaire, which has 16 questions in 5 dimentions, has been confirmed by Naderi et al in 2012. (Kornbach's alpha coefficient= 0.922) .This questionnaire offers a range of total scores between 20 and 66. The items are scored on a three- or four-point Likert scale, with a higher score indicating a better quality of life for the individual. These are the five dimensions that are the subject of this survey: severity of disease symptoms (items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6), physical limitations (items 7-1 to 7-6), mental limitations (items 5, 9, 11), social aspects (items 8, 10, 12, 13), self-care (items 14, 15) and the patient's overall satisfaction (item 16).

Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of Ethacrynic acid/Ethacrynate sodium, approximately 224 patients (21%) were 65 to 74 years of age, while approximately 100 patients (9%) were 75 years of age and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. (See WARNINGS.)

This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. (See CONTRAINDICATIONS.)
More than 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, costing our society an estimated 565 to 635 billion dollars annually. Its complexity and training deficits in healthcare providers result in many patients receiving ineffective care. Large health inequities also exist in access to effective pain care for vulnerable populations. The traumatic history of indigenous people and people of color in regards to the experience of pain care perpetuates a lack of trust in the healthcare system, causing many to hesitate to seek medical treatment for painful events and conditions. Other vulnerable populations include those with sickle cell disease or fibromyalgia, whose experience of pain has not been well-understood. There are both barriers to care and stigma for patients with pain, including those taking prescribed doses of long-term opioids, those with known substance use disorder, and those with mental health diagnoses. The suffering of patients with pain can be "invisible" to the clinician, and to one's community at large. Pain can affect all people; but those most vulnerable to not getting effective care may continue to suffer in silence because their voices are not heard. Since 1973, pain societies around the globe have worked tirelessly to bring clinicians together to advance pain and opioid education, research, and patient care. These improvements consist of pain education, integrative treatment, and the understanding that a therapeutic alliance is critical to effective pain management. Pain education for both pre and post-licensure health professionals has increased substantially over the last decade. In addition, integrative and interdisciplinary approaches for clinical pain management are now considered best practices in pain care for patients with moderate to severe pain in addition to the development of a strong therapeutic alliance.
Exosomes derived from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can alleviate the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in rats. However, the potential therapeutical effects of exosomes derived from BMSCs treated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α on the symptoms of PFD in rats are unknown. Exosomes extracted from BMSCs treated with or without TNF-α were applied to treat PFD rats. Our findings revealed a significant elevation in interleukin (IL)-6 and TNF-α, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) levels in the vaginal wall tissues of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) compared with the control group. Daily administration of exosomes derived from BMSCs, treated either with or without TNF-α (referred to as Exo and TNF-Exo), resulted in increased void volume and bladder void pressure, along with reduced peak bladder pressure and leak point pressure in PFD rats. Notably, TNF-Exo treatment demonstrated superior efficacy in restoring void volume, bladder void pressure and the mentioned parameters compared with Exo treatment. Importantly, TNF-Exo exhibited greater potency than Exo in restoring the levels of multiple proteins (Elastin, Collagen I, Collagen III, IL-6, TNF-α and MMP2) in the anterior vaginal walls of PFD rats. The application of exosomes derived from TNF-α-treated BMSCs holds promise as a novel therapeutic approach for treating PFD.
Clinical studies of trimethoprim tablets did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience 2,3 has not identified differences in response between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. 

  


Case reports of hyperkalemia in elderly patients receiving trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole have been published. 4 Trimethoprim is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor potassium concentrations and to monitor renal function by calculating creatinine clearance.
The administration of local anesthetic solutions containing vasopressors, such as Levonordefrin, Epinephrine or Norepinephrine, to patients receiving tricyclic antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors may produce severe, prolonged hypertension. Concurrent use of these agents should generally be avoided. In situations when concurrent therapy is necessary, careful patient monitoring is essential. Concurrent administration of vasopressor drugs and of ergot-type oxytocic drugs may cause severe, persistent hypertension or cerebrovascular accidents.

Phenothiazines and butyrophenones may reduce or reverse the pressor effect of Epinephrine.

Solutions containing a vasoconstrictor should be used cautiously in the presence of disease which may adversely affect the patient's cardiovascular system. Serious cardiac arrhythmias may occur if preparations containing a vasoconstrictor are employed in patients during or following the administration of potent inhalation anesthetics.

Patients who are administered local anesthetics are at increased risk of developing methemoglobinemia when concurrently exposed to the following drugs, which could include other local anesthetics:

MEPIVACAINE SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION IN PATIENTS WITH KNOWN DRUG ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES. A thorough history of the patient's prior experience with Mepivacaine or other local anesthetics as well as concomitant or recent drug use should be taken (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). Patients allergic to methylparaben or para-aminobenzoic acid derivatives (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) have not shown cross-sensitivity to agents of the amide type such as Mepivacaine. Since Mepivacaine is metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys, it should be used cautiously in patients with liver and renal disease.
Participants will take part in a 6-month exercise program and diet and nutrition coaching program. Also part of this arm is a nutritional and lifestyle counseling program to be lead by a member of the study team. Participants will also receive the usual care they would normally receive if not taking part in this study.
In a randomized crossover design, 30 older men and women with increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases consume 4 mixed meals, which differ in dietary pattern, protein source and protein quantity. Two meals are designed according to the Planetary Health Diet with legumes as primary protein source whereas the other two meals are designed according to the Western Diet with animal food as primary protein source. Two meals are designed as high protein meals (62 g of protein) and two meals are designed as low protein meals (36 g of Protein). Therefore, participants consume 4 different test meals, a Low and a High Protein Western Diet Meal and a Low and a High Protein Planetary Health Diet Meal in a randomized order. During a postprandial observation period of 6 hours, parameters of lipid metabolism (e.g., plasma triglycerides), glucose metabolism (e.g., plasma glucose, serum insulin), as well as markers of inflammation (e.g., IL-6) and vascular function (e.g., pulse wave velocity) are analysed. Furthermore, amino acid profile, neuropsychologic parameters (e.g., appetite) and satiety-associated hormones (e.g., Ghrelin) are investigated. Each intervention will be separated by a washout period of approximately 14 days.
The involvement of Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) and dendritic cells (DCs) in chronic lung inflammation has been increasingly regarded as the key to understand the inflammatory mechanisms of smoke-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the mechanism underlying the engagement of both remains unclear. Our study aimed to explore NCR-ILC3 differentiation in the lungs of mice exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) and to further investigate whether DCs activated by CS exposure contribute to the differentiation of ILCs into NCR-ILC3s. The study involved both in vivo and in vitro experiments. In the former, the frequencies of lung NCR-ILC3s and NKp46-IL-17A+ ILCs and the expression of DCs, CD40, CD86, IL-23, and IL-1β quantified by flow cytometry were compared between CS-exposed mice and air-exposed mice. In the latter, NKp46-IL-17A+ ILC frequencies quantified by flow cytometry were compared after two cocultures, one involving lung CD45+Lin-CD127+ ILCs sorted from air-exposed mice and DCs sifted by CD11c magnetic beads from CS-exposed mice and another including identical CD45+Lin-CD127+ ILCs and DCs from air-exposed mice. The results indicated significant increases in the frequencies of NCR-ILC3s and NKp46-IL-17A+ ILCs; in the expression of DCs, CD40, CD86, IL-23, and IL-1β in CS-exposed mice; and in the frequency of NKp46-IL-17A+ ILCs after the coculture with DCs from CS-exposed mice. In conclusion, CS exposure increases the frequency of lung ILCs and NCR-ILC3s. CS-induced DC activation enhances the differentiation of ILCs into NCR-ILC3s, which likely acts as a mediating step in the involvement of NCR-ILC3s in chronic lung inflammation.

The present invention relates to heterocyclic prolinamide derivatives. In particular, it relates to novel heterocyclic prolinamide derivatives of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are useful in the prevention (e.g. delay of onset or reduction of risk of development) and treatment (e.g. control, alleviation or slowing of progression) of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and related eye diseases. These diseases include dry AMD, wet AMD, geographic atrophy, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and retinal or photoreceptor cell degeneration. The compounds of the invention are also useful for inhibiting HTRA1 protease activity in the eye or in the site of arthritis or related disorders.
There is a significant need for a safe and effective treatment of Crohn's disease. It is recognized that bacteria in the gut lumen may have a role in the etiology and/or symptoms of this disease. Antimicrobials have often been used in treating Crohn's disease although their effectiveness has not been well established. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are also believed to play an important role in this disease. Nitazoxanide, a thiazolide anti-infective, is active in vitro against a broad spectrum of anaerobic bacteria, and it inhibits secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-2, -4, -5, -6, -8, -10 and TNF alpha. The drug is also highly concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract. With these characteristics, nitazoxanide offers a unique approach to treatment of Crohn's disease.

A brain mapping system and methods for providing personalized therapy for a broad range of brain dysfunctions by determining the location and the extent of the brain regions that have to be therapeutically targeted in each subject. The present invention includes means to record specific characteristics of brain activity, detect and display brain regions that present signatures of disease or dysfunctions by using a computing system. The therapy is tuned to target detected brain regions to restore specific connectivity characteristics using invasive, non-invasive stimulation, neurofeedback or drug administration. While connectivity characteristics are estimated based on resting state recordings the therapy will be performed in successive steps to alter network fragmentation in dysfunctional brain regions. The improved treatment is tailored to individual patients that will learn how to reshape specific connectivity characteristics to target the determined location and the extent of brain regions and maximize the therapeutic potential. The brain mapping technology is suited for different technologies and not limited to electroencephalography (EEG) or magneto electroencephalography (MEG).

Patients with endoscopically diagnosed gastric and duodenal ulcer bleeding were randomly assigned into two groups, ilaprazole and omeprazole. 120 patients were administrated 10 mg ilaprazole daily (at day 1-3) through intravenous infusion within 30min with first dose doubling. Since 4th day, those patients were changed to oral administration. Other 60 patients were administrated 40 mg omeprazole twice daily (at day 1-3) through intravenous infusion within 30min. Since 4th day, those patients were changed to oral administration. The efficacy of ilaprazole and omeprazole was evaluated by the primary endpoint including the hemostasis rate (hemostatic groups with endoscopy check ) and re-bleeding rate (bleeding groups with endoscopy check) within 72 hours and secondary end points including effective rate of hemostasis, average blood transfusion, the need to switch to other treatments (endoscopic treatment or surgery, etc.), hospital stay and re-bleeding rate at day 7, 14 and 30. Safety assessments based mainly on the occurrence, frequency, and severity of adverse events, which were monitored throughout the duration of the study, and also based on comprehensive indexes,including physical examination, electrocardiography, and routine laboratory investigations, which were performed at baseline and repeated at the end of the treatment period. For all adverse events, where necessary, patients were withdrawn from the study.This phase Ⅱ clinical trial was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of ilaprazole and omeprazole in the treatment and prevention of peptic ulcer bleeding.
Participants will receive a single injection of normal saline (0.9%) solution into the lesion (e.g. tear) and knee joint under ultrasound guidance using an 18 gauge x 3.5 inch needle.
Excessive body fat is associated with various comorbidities including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and certain types of cancer. The search for effective, relatively easy to maintain body-fat reduction interventions has been ongoing. We aimed to review the current literature to assess the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training with and without dietary supplementation on body fat loss, concentration of markers of metabolic health and aerobic capacity of adults with overweight and obesity. Seventy full-text articles were assessed to determine their eligibility and thirteen were included in the review. The methodology of this systematic review was developed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Almost all studies (93%) demonstrated effectiveness of high-intensity interval training of various protocols in reducing body fat, improving metabolic health and aerobic capacity of adults with overweight and obesity. These effects were enhanced by an addition of a dietary supplement, such as green tea or ginger or other. Although combining HIIT with dietary supplementation seem to improve body composition, metabolic health and aerobic capacity in adults with overweight and obesity in some instances to a greater extent than HIIT alone, it does not seem to be necessary to combine these two interventions.
