This proposal focuses on an innovative theory-driven intervention aimed at helping to improve outcomes for AAMSM targeting 3 stages of the HIV Care Continuum, (1) retention, (2) adherence to antiretroviral medication, and (3) viral suppression. My Personal Health Guide is an innovative talking relational human Avatar mobile phone application to engage HIV-positive AAMSM in adherence and retention in care. Development of this app was informed by the Information Motivation Behavioral Skills Model that focuses on feedback between information and motivation that affect one's behavioral skills, behaviors, and desired health outcomes. In the privacy of the user's home or anywhere they have their phone, the Avatar can encourage healthy behavior, acknowledge stigma and speak with empathy, audibly teach persons with low literacy, employ credible culturally appropriate phrasing, and invite the user to hear advice and motivational stories of other HIV-positive people and their caregivers. As part of a collaboration between UIC, Emory University, and the University of Mississippi Medical Center, the investigators propose to test the efficacy of the My Personal Health Guide Avatar application for young HIV-positive AAMSM. In this study, 250 HIV-positive AAMSM between the ages of 18-34 years with detectable viral load at baseline will be randomized to the My Personal Health Guide Avatar application or a food safety Avatar application control intervention for a 6-month period. Wirelessly monitored ART adherence will be collected for 1-month at baseline and then wirelessly monitored ART adherence, viral load, and clinic appointment data will be collected throughout the 6-month follow-up period. The investigators hypothesize that participants in the My Personal Health Guide intervention will demonstrate significant improvements in ART adherence, viral load, and retention in care during the follow-up period compared to control participants. The investigators will also identify mobile phone application functions that are associated with improvement in adherence in order to inform refinement of the application. The investigators hypothesize that more frequent use of Avatar information functions that included motivational messages will be associated with improved ART adherence.
Trandolapril is deesterified to the diacid metabolite, trandolaprilat, which is approximately eight times more active as an inhibitor of ACE activity. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent peripheral vasoconstrictor that also stimulates secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex and provides negative feedback for renin secretion. The effect of trandolapril in hypertension appears to result primarily from the inhibition of circulating and tissue ACE activity thereby reducing angiotensin II formation, decreasing vasoconstriction, decreasing aldosterone secretion, and increasing plasma renin. Decreased aldosterone secretion leads to diuresis, natriuresis, and a small increase of serum potassium. In controlled clinical trials, treatment with trandolapril alone resulted in mean increases in potassium of 0.1 mEq/L. (See PRECAUTIONS.) 

ACE is identical to kininase II, an enzyme that degrades bradykinin, a potent peptide vasodilator; whether increased levels of bradykinin play a role in the therapeutic effect of trandolapril remains to be elucidated. 

While the principal mechanism of antihypertensive effect is thought to be through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, trandolapril exerts antihypertensive actions even in patients with low-renin hypertension. Trandolapril was an effective antihypertensive in all races studied. Both black patients (usually a predominantly low-renin group) and non-black patients responded to 2 to 4 mg of trandolapril.
This group will receive 9 text messages over 3 weeks. Messages will be based on goal-setting in the first week, goal-operating in the second week, and self-monitoring in the third week.
The custom made insoles (Thermo+Camel, cost for the military 20,50 euros) were fabricated from firm-density polyethylene and the hard plastic shell was a three-quarter length. The insole was strong enough to fill the arch area thus providing support to the mid foot. It also influences the position of the foot. The insoles were individually customized by heating the polyethylene in form of individual foot with standing and walking in them. The conscripts were advised to use these insoles in their ankle boot.
Immediately before hysteroscopic surgery, a culture tip is inserted into the uterine cavity and sent for culture. Another culture was done 30 days later, and a second-look hysteroscope is done to evaluate the healing of uterine cavity.removed uterine stent was sent for bacterial culture too.
Here, we present a photodegradable microparticle system that can be employed to entrap and deliver bioactive proteins to cells during culture. By using a photosensitive delivery system, experimenters can achieve a wide variety of spatiotemporally regulated release profiles with a single microparticle formulation, thereby enabling one to probe many questions as to how protein presentation can be manipulated to regulate cell function. Photodegradable microparticles were synthesized via inverse suspension polymerization with a mean diameter of 22 μm, and degradation was demonstrated upon exposure to several irradiation conditions. The protein-loaded depots were incorporated into cell cultures and release of bioactive protein was quantified during the photodegradation process. This phototriggered release allowed for the delivery of TGF-β1 to stimulate PE25 cells and for the delivery of fluorescently labeled Annexin V to assay apoptotic 3T3 fibroblasts during culture. By incorporating these photoresponsive protein delivery depots into cell culture, new types of experiments are now possible to test hypotheses about how individual or multiple soluble factors might affect cell function when presented in a uniform, temporally varying, or gradient manner.
There have been postmarketing and clinical trial reports of severe decreases in HDL cholesterol levels (as low as 2 mg/dL) occurring in patients with and without diabetes initiated on fibrate therapy. The decrease in HDL-C is mirrored by a decrease in apolipoprotein A1. This decrease has been reported to occur within 2 weeks to years after initiation of fibrate therapy. The HDL-C levels remain depressed until fibrate therapy has been withdrawn; the response to withdrawal of fibrate therapy is rapid and sustained. The clinical significance of this decrease in HDL-C is unknown. Check HDL-C levels within the first few months after initiation of Antara. If a severely depressed HDL-C level is detected, discontinue Antara and monitor HDL-C until it has returned to baseline. Antara should not be re-initiated.
The invention relates to dsRNA of sodium potassium ATPase alpha (PvATP 1A) gene of litopenaeus vannamei, the sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. Firstly, obtaining an ATP1A gene of litopenaeus vannamei, wherein the selection sequence is SEQ ID NO:1 for the synthesis of dsRNA. The synthesized dsRNA is then injected into prawns, and WSSV is injected after interference is successful. The interference group showed decreased viral copy number and viral gene (IE 1 and VP 28) expression and increased shrimp survival compared to the control group, indicating that ATP1A contributes to WSSV proliferation. Further by immunofluorescence analysis of the mechanism by which ATP1A affects proliferation of WSSV, ATP1A was found to co-localize with WSSV and interfere with reduction of WSSV cell entry following ATP 1A. The dsRNA of the PvATP1A gene provides a potential drug for preventing and treating WSSV, which can obviously inhibit the WSSV from entering cells and further effectively inhibit the replication of the WSSV. The dsRNA of the PvATP1A gene has small molecular mass and is easy to degrade, ecological balance in the cultivation process is not destroyed, and the dsRNA is an environment-friendly and efficient virus defending substance.
This is a multicenter, open-label study. Patients are stratified by HIV-1 RNA levels (20,000 to 200,000 copies/ml and greater than 200,000 copies/ml). Patients are equally randomized to one of four groups and receive antiretroviral therapy for 24 weeks. Group 1 receives delavirdine (DLV) plus nelfinavir (NFV) plus stavudine (d4T). Group 2 receives DLV plus NFV plus didanosine (ddI). Group 3 receives NFV plus d4T plus ddI. Group 4 receives DLV plus NFV plus d4T plus ddI. Patients are evaluated for drug safety and viral burden. Patients may opt to continue on the study for 24 additional weeks, at the discretion of the investigator.
A method and system for remotely viewing and configuring output from a medical imager is described. A medical imager having an embedded web server generates an HTML document according to medical images received from various medical modalities. Imaging information is communicated in the HTML document to allow a remote machine to manipulate the images and display the images in a manner that accurately represents their printed output by the imager. The invention thus provides accurate viewing of the medical images from a remote machine and facilitates remote configuration of the medical imager. Other advantages include the ability to easily select conversion mechanisms best suited for specific requirements of the hospital's medical modalities without traveling to the hospital and burdening medical staff. The present invention also allows for remote monitoring of operation statistics such as usage of imaging media and other supplies.
A method for the removal of, for in vitro immunization, undesired cells from human lymphocyte containing cell populations is disclosed. For the method, use is made of lysosomotropic agents which are caused to act in vitro on human lymphocyte containing cell populations. Also disclosed is a method in the in vitro immunization of lymphocytes for use in the production of human monoclonal antibodies. In this method, lysosomotropic agents are caused to act in vitro on human lymphocyte containing cell populations for removing cell populations having a negative effect on the in vitro immunization, whereupon the lymphocytes are in vitro immunized antigen-specifically and immortalized. Finally, a kit for in vitro immunization of lymphocytes for use in the production of human monoclonal antibodies is disclosed. The kit comprises as active constituents a container containing lymphokines and a container containing lysosomotropic agents.
This study will be a 3-year randomized control trial. Patients will be referred from any mental health services in Taipei area who meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder. Inclusion criteria include subjects who fulfill the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder, 18-60 years of age, sign the informed consent, have had at least two episodes of suicidal or non-suicidal self-injurious episodes in the past 5 years, and at least one of which is in the 3 months preceding enrollment. The exclusion criteria include psychotic disorder, bipolar I disorder, severe physical illness, and mental retardation. Outcome measures will be obtained at pre-treatment, 4-month, 8-month and post-treatment (12-month) during 1-year protocol. Using semi-structured interview and a battery of self-report forms, a range of symptoms and behaviors associated with Borderline Personality Disorder will be assessed including suicidal thought, suicide attempt, depression, hopelessness, quality of life, disability, service utilization, and function. Measures are selected based on previous outcome studies of dialectical behavior therapy. Outcome variables will be evaluated by blinded assessors.
Subjects are enrolled in up to three 3-6-subject cohorts and are administered combination (apalutamide, abiraterone acetate and docetaxel plus prednisone) according to a dose-escalation schedule. The first dose of docetaxel infusion begins on Day 1 Cycle 1. Daily oral apalutamide, abiraterone acetate plus twice-daily oral prednisone begins on Day 1 Cycle 1. Docetaxel 1-hour infusions are administered intravenously every 3 weeks (Q3W), preceded by oral dexamethasone. While a subject is receiving chemotherapy, a treatment cycle is defined as 21 days. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) determination is based on toxicities observed within the initial 2 cycles defined as 6 weeks. DLT will be assessed before the start of the third docetaxel infusion. Once a combination dose is determined to be safe (i.e. no more than 2 of 6 subjects experience DLT), the next cohort will enroll. Subjects remain at their allocated combination dose until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.

The primary objective is to determine a safe dose combination of apalutamide plus abiraterone acetate, docetaxel, prednisone in subjects with mCRPC.
SSM will be taught to participants over 4 consecutive days, for 2 hours each day. Participants will initially learn about the nature of meditation and will be taken through a guided meditation. Afterwards, participants will undergo training which includes understanding the nature of the mind and the thoughts arising from it, guided meditation by the instructor, and a discussion of what is correct and incorrect meditation. Follow-ups will be conducted once every week for the following 11 weeks, each including guided meditation. Participants will be encouraged to practice the meditation at home for 20 minutes per session and will be given weekly practice logs to complete.
Endocrine therapy (ET) is widely used to treat hormone receptor positive breast cancer and prevent recurrence by downregulating estrogen function. However, ETs readily cross the blood brain barrier and interfere with the action of estrogen in the brain. Estrogen supports cognition and menopausal status is closely linked to cognitive health in women. This has raised concern that anti-estrogen ETs may affect cognition and brain health in breast cancer survivors. However, evidence across existing studies is inconsistent and these effects remain poorly understood. The incomplete understanding of the effects of ET are likely due to limitations of earlier studies - namely, the under-appreciation of the role of menopausal status and insensitivity of standard cognitive measures. This research project will address these earlier limitations by specifically comparing ET effects by menopausal status, and using highly sensitive, task-related fMRI measures to assess the effects of ET on brain function.

This study is a cross-sectional study in a 2x2 factorial design comparing menopausal status (pre and post) and patient group (breast cancer survivors on ET and healthy controls matched on age, race, education, and time since final menstrual period (post only)). The investigators will use sensitive fMRI measures of brain activity during a working memory task - measures successfully used to reveal the effects of menopause and estrogen changes in healthy women, but yet to be extensively used to study the effects of ET.
Obesity is a risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a deadly disease with limited preventive strategies. Lifestyle interventions to decrease obesity represent a potential approach to prevent obesity-associated PDAC. In this study, we examined whether decreasing obesity through physical activity (PA) and/or dietary changes could decrease inflammation in humans and prevent obesity-associated PDAC in mice. Comparison of circulating inflammatory-associated cytokines in subjects (overweight and obese) before and after a PA intervention revealed PA lowered systemic inflammatory cytokines. Mice with pancreatic-specific inducible KrasG12D expression were exposed to PA and/or dietary interventions during and after obesity-associated cancer initiation. In mice with concurrent diet-induced obesity and KrasG12D expression, the PA intervention led to lower weight gain, suppressed systemic inflammation, delayed tumor progression, and decreased proinflammatory signals in the adipose tissue. However, these benefits were not as evident when obesity preceded pancreatic KrasG12D expression. Combining PA with diet-induced weight loss (DI-WL) delayed obesity-associated PDAC progression in the genetically engineered mouse model, but neither PA alone nor combined with DI-WL or chemotherapy prevented PDAC tumor growth in orthotopic PDAC models regardless of obesity status. PA led to the upregulation of Il15ra in adipose tissue. Adipose-specific overexpression of Il15 slowed PDAC growth but only in nonobese mice. Overall, our study suggests that PA alone or combined with DI-WL can reduce inflammation and delay obesity-associated PDAC development or progression. Lifestyle interventions that prevent or manage obesity or therapies that target weight loss-related molecular pathways could prevent progression of PDAC. Significance: Physical activity reduces inflammation and induces changes to adipose-related signaling to suppress pancreatic cancer, supporting the potential of obesity management strategies to reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

Previous studies into the Guamian ALS-Parkinson's Dementia complex has identified β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA), as a potential neurotoxin responsible for this disease. BMAA is a non-essential amino acid and is produced by a cyanobacterium which is present in all ecosystems. Subsequently several groups have identified high concentrations of BMAA in brain tissues of patients from North America and Europe with several neurodegenerative diseases including ALS, Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Diseases. It has been hypothesized that chronic intake of BMAA in the diet leads to mis-incorporation of the amino acid into brain proteins, where it produces slow neuronal damage and recent evidence has shown that BMAA is mis-incorporated into proteins in neuronal cell lines via seryl tRNA synthetase, thereby producing protein mis-folding and protein aggregates, leading to cell death. It has been demonstrated in mammalian neuronal cell cultures that exogenous L-serine could prevent the BMAA neurotoxin from being mis-incorporated into proteins, thereby preventing cell death and that very high doses of L-serine may compete with the transport of a number of non-essential amino acids across the blood-brain barrier via the y+ transporter. These findings have led us to believe that high doses of L-serine could possibly stop the mis-incorporation of BMAA into brain proteins which in turn would slow or even abate the progression of ALS. This study will determine the safety of different doses of L-serine given to ALS subjects at 0.5 gm twice daily (BID), 2.5gm BID, 7.5g BID or 15 grams BID for six months.
The dosage of pantoprazole sodium in patients with pathological hypersecretory conditions varies with the individual patient. The recommended adult starting dose is 40 mg twice daily. Dosage regimens should be adjusted to individual patient needs and should continue for as long as clinically indicated. Doses up to 240 mg daily have been administered. Some patients have been treated continuously with pantoprazole sodium for more than 2 years.

No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment, hepatic impairment, or for elderly patients. Doses higher than 40 mg/day have not been studied in hepatically-impaired patients. No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Pantoprazole sodium delayed-release tablets should be swallowed whole, with or without food in the stomach. If patients are unable to swallow a 40 mg tablet, two 20 mg tablets may be taken. Concomitant administration of antacids does not affect the absorption of pantoprazole sodium.

Patients should be cautioned that pantoprazole sodium delayed-release tablets should not be split, chewed or crushed.
Heart failure (HF) is a frequent disease with a global prevalence of 2.3% that may culminate up to 10% in the elderly. HF is associated with poor outcomes, namely multiple recurrent hospitalizations and high mortality. It is well known for several decades that diabetes is associated with a high cardiovascular mortality, with most physicians initially focusing on coronary artery disease solely. More recently, the concept of specific diabetic and/or metabolic cardiomyopathy emerged with different phenotypes. Obesity and hypertension are highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and several studies have shown similar "diabetic cardiomyopathies" and "obese cardiomyopathies". Congestive HF was found to be two to three times more frequent in patients with T2D than in those without. Asymptomatic HF is underestimated by lack of systematic screening of these patients which prevent them from benefiting from early therapeutics. To our knowledge, no previous study has been made with systematic screening for HF in obese patients without obvious HF signs. Several tools can be used to examine the possible presence of cardiomyopathy and/or HF. The detection of cardiomyopathy at an early, preclinical stage may be of particular interest. First, studies have demonstrated that HF management is more effective at an early stage, with some drugs being associated with a reverse remodeling. Second, the class of SGLT2 inhibitors has proven to reduce the risk of hospitalization for HF in high-risk patients with diabetes.
QUILLIVANT XR has a high potential for abuse and misuse. The use of QUILLIVANT XR exposes individuals to the risks of abuse and misuse, which can lead to the development of a substance use disorder, including addiction. QUILLIVANT XR can be diverted for non-medical use into illicit channels or distribution [see Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2)]. Misuse and abuse of CNS stimulants, including QUILLIVANT XR, can result in overdose and death [see Overdosage (10)], and this risk is increased with higher doses or unapproved methods of administration, such as snorting or injection.  
Before prescribing QUILLIVANT XR, assess each patient’s risk for abuse, misuse, and addiction. Educate patients and their families about these risks and proper disposal of any unused drug. Advise patients to store QUILLIVANT XR in a safe place, preferably locked, and instruct patients to not give QUILLIVANT XR to anyone else. Throughout QUILLIVANT XR treatment, reassess each patient’s risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction and frequently monitor for signs and symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction.
