The participating dyads in intervention communities were invited to consume veo soup/meal (HSM) three times a week and provided weekly supply of iodized salt (450 g) for the household usage as well as being engaged in dry season container gardening. The veo soup/meal is a local Ghanaian soup/meal mainly made of Hibiscus Sabdarifa leaves. It is a soup when prepared a bit watery and consumed with 'tou zaafi' (millet or corn based cooked paste). It is also a meal when prepared thick and eaten by itself. The Hibiscus Sabdariffa leaves meal (HSM) used in the present study was made of 18 kg Hibiscus Sabdariffa leaves, 8 kg groundnut, 1.1 kg dawadawa (fermented African locust beans), 3 kg dried fish plus 0.045 kg iodized salt, cooked with about 23 L (23 kg) water to yield 52.5 kg HSM. In each community, groups of ten women took turns to share the cooking activities, washing of bowls, and making water available for cooking. No treatment provided in our control communities.

There will be a -1 dose level.
The Abuse Alert Database (HAAD), is a Specific Data Base for hospital. Urgent care, and nursing home use, allowing the admitting, ER staff, physicians and designated staff to be immediately alerted when victims of abuse or potential abuse present to various hospitals. The Database will be universal.The Abuse Alert Database (for Hospitals, urgent care, and nursing homes) and handicap patients who may be victimized at the hands of care givers, will immediately alert admitting staff that patient(s) have been seen for moderate and specially for repeated visits to medical facilities for potential abuse or violence (Including minors with suffering from un ex-plained injuries, broken bones, bruises, head injuries, etc), at various other hospitals, and when necessary allow hospitals to use their discretion in contacting law enforcement regarding domestic and child abuse. In the case of minor it would expedite time as potential minor would be “flagged” as potential victims or abuse.The app is designed because the majority majority of abuse victims when questioned by hospital staff or physicians leave and go to medical facilities or clinics they have not been to or have a history of going to that may alert staff to suspicious injuries or sicknesses brought on as a result of abuse. This will heighten hospitals awareness in a concerted effort to aid and hopefully save lives. This will save time by cutting staff having to look through antiquated or archived records to assist them in immediately knowing of abuse.This Database will be for all medical facilities domestic and abroad (universal). The company developing the app will be granted the latitude needed to enhance the product as needed for the benefit of hospitals, clinics, and law enforcement.Will be available to medical facilities and made to be easily installed for medical personnel.

Oxaliplatin is accepted up to 12 cycles.
BACKGROUND: The APOE gene is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (LOAD). However, the gene regulatory mechanisms at this locus remain incompletely characterized.
METHODS: To identify novel AD-linked functional elements within the APOE locus, we integrated SNP variants with multi-omics data from human postmortem brains including 2,179 RNA-seq samples from 3 brain regions and two ancestries (European and African), 667 DNA methylation samples, and ChIP-seq samples. Additionally, we plotted the expression trajectory of APOE transcripts in human brains during development.
RESULTS: We identified an AD-linked APOE transcript (jxn1.2.2) particularly observed in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The APOE jxn1.2.2 transcript is associated with brain neuropathological features, cognitive impairment, and the presence of the APOE4 allele in DLPFC. We prioritized two independent functional SNPs (rs157580 and rs439401) significantly associated with jxn1.2.2 transcript abundance and DNA methylation levels. These SNPs are located within active chromatin regions and affect brain-related transcription factor-binding affinities. The two SNPs shared effects on the jxn1.2.2 transcript between European and African ethnic groups.
CONCLUSION: The novel APOE functional elements provide potential therapeutic targets with mechanistic insight into the disease etiology.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a serious respiratory disorder that involves repetitive cessation of breathing during sleep. It is estimated that 15-20 million people in the United States suffer from OSAS, which has been linked to increased risk for hypertension, heart failure, depression, and diabetes. The current standard of care for OSA, positive airway pressure (PAP), involves a mechanical device with low patient tolerance and adherence. Upper airway surgical approaches are also an option but are invasive and often unsuccessful. Effective drug treatments for OSA remain to be identified.

This study will enroll up to 120 Veterans so that 45 Veterans may complete the two-week open-label Dronabinol treatment trials. The results of the study will be used to develop a prediction model for OSA severity reduction after 2-week Dronabinol treatment vs. pretreatment AHI. Participants clinical (age, sex, body mass index, comorbidity) and pretreatment polysomnographic characteristics (sleep architecture, respiratory disturbance, and endotypes; loop-gain, arousal threshold, upper airway collapsibility and compensation) will be used to develop a prediction model for improvement of OSA with Dronabinol treatment. This prediction model will be used for a randomized clinical trial after the completion of this trial.
The invention relates to traditional Chinese medicine compound Lianweng anti-dysenteric powder for treating white scour of piglet and a preparation method and application of the powder. The traditional Chinese medicine compound Lianweng anti-dysenteric powder is prepared from the following raw materials: 100g-300g of rhizoma coptidis, 100g-300g of radix pulsatillae, 200g of geranium wilfordii and 200g of rhubarb charcoal according to a scientific prescription and technology. The traditional Chinese medicine compound Lianweng anti-dysenteric powder is parapared by grinding the raw materials in an environment with a relatively low temperature and screening the ground raw materials with a 200-mesh sieve, thereby relieving the adverse effect of crude fibers and the like on the digestion function of piglets, and reducing the consumption of active ingredients to a certain degree. Since the particle size of the ground raw materials reaches around 75 microns, the active ingredients in the medicinal materials are sufficiently exposed, thus facilitating the digestion and absorption of the piglets, greatly improving the bioavailability of the medicine, saving traditional Chinese medicine resources, and improving the efficacy properly. When in use, the Lianweng anti-dysenteric powder is mixed with feed or mixed with water to drench the piglets; and the popularization and application of the Lianweng anti-dysenteric powder are facilitated due to the characteristic of convenience in use of the powder. The Lianweng anti-dysenteric powder disclosed by the invention realizes a relatively good therapeutical effect on the white scour of piglet caused by escherichia coli, and has good application and popularization prospect.

PURPOSE: Timely and accurate data on the epidemiology of sepsis are essential to inform policy decisions and research priorities. We aimed to investigate the validity of inpatient administrative health data (IAHD) for surveillance and quality assurance of sepsis care.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective validation study in a disproportional stratified random sample of 10,334 inpatient cases of age ≥ 15 years treated in 2015-2017 in ten German hospitals. The accuracy of coding of sepsis and risk factors for mortality in IAHD was assessed compared to reference standard diagnoses obtained by a chart review. Hospital-level risk-adjusted mortality of sepsis as calculated from IAHD information was compared to mortality calculated from chart review information.
RESULTS: ICD-coding of sepsis in IAHD showed high positive predictive value (76.9-85.7% depending on sepsis definition), but low sensitivity (26.8-38%), which led to an underestimation of sepsis incidence (1.4% vs. 3.3% for severe sepsis-1). Not naming sepsis in the chart was strongly associated with under-coding of sepsis. The frequency of correctly naming sepsis and ICD-coding of sepsis varied strongly between hospitals (range of sensitivity of naming: 29-71.7%, of ICD-diagnosis: 10.7-58.5%). Risk-adjusted mortality of sepsis per hospital calculated from coding in IAHD showed no substantial correlation to reference standard risk-adjusted mortality (r = 0.09).
CONCLUSION: Due to the under-coding of sepsis in IAHD, previous epidemiological studies underestimated the burden of sepsis in Germany. There is a large variability between hospitals in accuracy of diagnosing and coding of sepsis. Therefore, IAHD alone is not suited to assess quality of sepsis care.
This study is a Phase I/II, open-label trial exploring dosage and expansion cohorts to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of DFP-10917 in combination with venetoclax for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DFP-10917 will be administered as a 14-day continuous intravenous infusion starting on Day 1, followed by a 14-day rest period, during each 28-day cycle. This will occur concurrently with venetoclax, administered orally at a dose of 400 mg daily for 14 days following a dose ramp-up phase (100 mg and 200 mg on Day 1 and 2, respectively).

In Phase I, the starting dose for DFP-10917 is 4 mg/m²/day, administered concurrently with 400 mg of venetoclax once daily for 14 days (Dose Level 1). The Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will assess dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) after three patients are enrolled at this dose level and the last patient has completed the 4-week safety assessment period (i.e., one cycle of the combination regimen). At Dose Level 1 (4 mg/m²/day of DFP-10917 with venetoclax 400 mg daily for 14 days), if none of the three patients experience a DLT, the study will enroll an additional three patients at this dose level to confirm the combination's safety and tolerability. If one out of three patients experiences a DLT, up to three additional patients may be enrolled. If one or fewer out of six treated patients experience a DLT at Dose Level 1, this dose will be declared the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) and used in the Phase II expansion cohort. If two or more patients out of the total three to six patients at Dose Level 1 experience a DLT, the study will continue enrollment at Dose Level 1 (4 mg/m²/day of DFP-10917 for 14 days concurrently with venetoclax 400 mg daily for 10 days of each 28-day cycle) to determine the safety and tolerability of Dose Level -1. A patient who discontinues therapy during Cycle 1 without experiencing DLTs is considered evaluable for safety purposes only if all scheduled doses of DFP-10917 and at least 80% of the venetoclax doses were administered in the first cycle. Once the RP2D of DFP-10917 in combination with venetoclax is determined, the expansion cohort will begin enrollment to evaluate the anti-leukemia efficacy of this combination. A Simon's two-stage min-max design will be employed, with up to 17 patients expected to participate.
This is an open label Pilot study to evaluate the combination of Vigil™ autologous tumor cell immunotherapy and pembrolizumab PD-1 inhibitor in patients with incurable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. Patients undergoing a standard of care surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy, palliative resection) and meeting procurement eligibility criteria may have tumor harvested for Vigil™ vaccine manufacture. Patients subsequently meeting study enrollment criteria including manufacture of a minimum of 4 doses of Vigil™ and agreement to provide on treatment tumor biopsies will receive (i) Vigil™ 1 x 10e7 cells intradermal on Days 1, 15, 29, 43 and every 3 weeks thereafter for up to 9 total doses of Vigil™ and (ii) pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg IV starting on Day 43 and every 3 weeks thereafter for up to 6 months from study enrollment. Day 1 of study treatment must be within 6 weeks of tumor procurement. Tumor biopsy and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for correlative studies will be obtained at baseline (before tumor procurement), and at Week 7 and Week 16 while on study. PBMCs will also be collected at Week 1 (pre-Vigil™) and end of treatment (EOT). Radiological assessment of tumor by immune related Response Criteria (irRC) and RECIST criteria will be obtained at screening (after tumor procurement) and at Week 13 and EOT.

The primary study objective is to characterize and compare CD8+ T cell density, PD-1+ T cell density, and PD-L1 expression on tumor biopsy at baseline, following 3 doses (approximately 6 weeks) of single agent Vigil™ and again following 3 doses of pembrolizumab. Secondary study objectives include evaluation of tolerability and safety of the combination, and to determine and compare IFNγ-ELISPOT result pre-procurement, at screening, after single agent Vigil™, and after Vigil™ plus pembrolizumab combination. Additional study objectives include determining best ORR by irRC criteria.

A one-page education pamphlet handed to participants and their identified support individual and a 4-minute video clip that will be viewed in the hospital and emailed or texted to both. EOE is purposefully brief and intended to increase uptake by participants and their support network who may not be motivated or willing to engage in face-to-face or extensive education. The pamphlet and video both emphasize the Why and How. That is, the significance of naloxone in decreasing the likelihood of death following an overdose while providing simple instructions on how to use the nasal kit. They also emphasize an important point missing in standard education: to tell others in the support network where it is and how to use it.
Administrate bupivacaine at 0.25% during initiation of effective labor work One of the researchers selected from a randomized list containing pages in both groups with numbers ranging from 0001 to 0110 with 55 pages for each group and these selected folios prepared in sterile form and start the day in the morning, the amount of 10 10 ml syringes with foil for each mixture. The remaining samples were discarded if 10 analgesics are not achieved during the day, and the day new preparations were made.
Differentiation Syndrome: Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) treated with arsenic trioxide have experienced differentiation syndrome, which may be life-threatening or fatal. Signs and symptoms may include unexplained fever, dyspnea, hypoxia, acute respiratory distress, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, weight gain, peripheral edema, hypotension, renal insufficiency, hepatopathy, and multi-organ dysfunction, in the presence or absence of leukocytosis. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, immediately initiate high-dose corticosteroids and hemodynamic monitoring until resolution. Temporarily withhold arsenic trioxide injection [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Cardiac Conduction Abnormalities: Arsenic trioxide can cause QTc interval prolongation, complete atrioventricular block and torsade de pointes, which can be fatal. Before administering arsenic trioxide injection, assess the QTc interval, correct electrolyte abnormalities, and consider discontinuing drugs known to prolong QTc interval. Do not administer arsenic trioxide to patients with a ventricular arrhythmia or prolonged QTc interval. Withhold arsenic trioxide injection until resolution and resume at reduced dose for QTc prolongation [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Encephalopathy: Serious encephalopathy, including Wernicke’s, has occurred with arsenic trioxide. Wernicke’s is a neurologic emergency. Consider testing thiamine levels in patients at risk for thiamine deficiency. Administer parenteral thiamine in patients with or at risk for thiamine deficiency. Monitor patients for neurological symptoms and nutritional status while receiving arsenic trioxide. If Wernicke’s encephalopathy is suspected, immediately interrupt arsenic trioxide and initiate parenteral thiamine. Monitor until symptoms resolve or improve and thiamine levels normalize [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is the most frequent known genetic disorder of obesity. Hyperphagia is the main barrier to independent living in adults with PWS, and hitherto behavioural restraints and environmental modification are the only effective management measure. The emerging costs for professional care are immense. Thus, there is an urgent need for treatment which reduce appetite and food intake in this patient group. Agonists of the gut derived hormone GLP-1 which reduces food intake and causes weight loss due to slowed gastric emptying and through direct central effects. The aim of this pilot drug trial is to analyse the effect of a GLP-1 agonist on appetite regulating hormones, insulin secretion and energy expenditure before and after a meal.
