There are approximately 5 million pregnancies per year in the USA, with 1 million ending in miscarriage (a loss occurring prior to 20 weeks of gestation) and over 20,000 ending in stillbirth at or beyond 20 weeks of gestation. As many as 50% of these losses are unexplained. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of expanding the placental pathology diagnostic categories to include the explicit categories of (1) dysmorphic chorionic villi and (2) small placenta in examining previously unexplained losses. Using a clinical database of 1256 previously unexplained losses at 6-43 weeks of gestation, the most prevalent abnormality associated with each loss was determined through examination of its placental pathology slides. Of 1256 cases analyzed from 922 patients, there were 878 (69.9%) miscarriages and 378 (30.1%) antepartum stillbirths. We determined the pathologic diagnoses for 1150/1256 (91.6%) of the entire series, 777/878 (88.5%) of the miscarriages (< 20 weeks' gestation), and 373/378 (98.7%) of the stillbirths (≥ 20 weeks' gestation). The most common pathologic feature observed in unexplained miscarriages was dysmorphic chorionic villi (757 cases; 86.2%), a marker associated with genetic abnormalities. The most common pathologic feature observed in unexplained stillbirths was a small placenta (128 cases; 33.9%). Our classification system reinforced the utility of placental examination for elucidating potential mechanisms behind pregnancy loss. The improved rate of diagnosis appeared to be the result of filling a gap in previous pregnancy loss classification systems via inclusion of the categories of dysmorphic chorionic villi and small placenta.
It is intended to provide a paramyxovirus vector expressing a polypeptide containing antibody variable regions. This vector, which encodes antibody H  chain and L chain variable regions, expresses these antibody chains at the same time to form Fab. Also, a single-stranded antibody is successfully expressed at a high level. The above vector is appropriately usable as a gene therapeutic vector to be administered to a living body either in vivo or ex vivo. In particular, a vector expressing an antibody fragment against nerve elongation inhibitor is useful in treating nerve injury. The above vector expressing an antibody which inhibits immunopotentiation signal transfer enables the prolonged expression of a gene from the vector.

Patients with severe native aortic valve regurgitation (AR) who have symptoms, impaired LVEF (≤55%) or left ventricular enlargement have the indications for surgery. According to data from the Euro Heart Survey, only 21.8% with LVEF 30-50% and 2.7% with LVEF \<30% were referred for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) among patients with severe native aortic regurgitation. Advanced age and comorbidities were often considered as main reasons to refuse SAVR. The annual mortality of untreated patients with severe AR is 10-20%. Pure native AR is always an exclusion criterion in all randomized controlled trials on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR) because the specific anatomical features can preclude adequate valve implantation. Several small, retrospective studies showed that off-label use of TAVR appears to be a feasible treatment choice for AR patients at high risk for SAVR. The present study aims to investigate the use of TAVR in AR patients.
The homeopathic remedy will be administered as 1 lactose/sucrose globule 2.5 mm in diameter to be administered sublingually up to 3 times per day or as 0.2 ml of a 30% ethanol based liquid homeopathic remedy administered orally up to 3 times per day. The homeopathic remedy and/or the homeopathic remedy potency can be changed on a daily basis during the course of treatment. However, only one homeopathic remedy and potency will be administered at a given time.
Exercise has different effects on different tissues in the body, the sum of which may determine the response to exercise and the health benefits. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether physical training regulates transcriptional network communites common to both skeletal muscle (SM) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Eight such shared transcriptional communities were found in both tissues. Eighteen young overweight adults voluntarily participated in 7 weeks of combined strength and endurance training (five training sessions per week). Biopsies were taken from SM and SAT before and after training. Five of the network communities were regulated by training in SM but showed no change in SAT. One community involved in insulin- AMPK signaling and glucose utilization was upregulated in SM but downregulated in SAT. This diverging exercise regulation was confirmed in two independent studies and was also associated with BMI and diabetes in an independent cohort. Thus, the current finding is consistent with the differential responses of different tissues and suggests that body composition may influence the observed individual whole-body metabolic response to exercise training and help explain the observed attenuated whole-body insulin sensitivity after exercise training, even if it has significant effects on the exercising muscle.
Couples (n=51) randomly assigned to this arm will go through 8 weekly group sessions of the Parents as Partners program, facilitated by two trained psychologists. Baseline, post-test and follow-up assessments will entail filling questionnaires collecting data on (co)parental, dyadic and work-family dimensions. At post-test, 6-10 couples will participate in an interview to collect information of their perceived usefulness of the intervention.
It is a monocentric interventional prospective study. Each subject will have to pass two MRI. Phase contrast MRI (PC-MRI) will be calibrated for each subject by assessing the optimal encoding velocity. Three sequences including the aqueduct and the two interventricular foramina (IVF) will be done. The signal will be analysed by syngo.via software after defining by two different investigators the region of interest (ROI) which correspond to the IVF or the aqueductal lumen. Descriptive statistics will test the intra-individual and inter-observer consistency based on 4 flow parameters.
PURPOSE:The titled pharmaceutical, obtained by blending fumaric acid and/or DL-tryptophan at a ratio within a specific range with a drug efficacious substance and capable of sustaining the release of the drug efficacious substance and keeping the blood level for a long time. CONSTITUTION:A sustained release pharmaceutical obtained by blending one or two or more drug efficacious ingredients, e.g. nicorandil, with fumaric acid and/or DL-tryptophan in an amount of >=10% based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical. Although many high polymers have been used to obtain a sustained release pharmaceutical, there are unsolved problems in that the blended drug efficacious ingredients are readily decomposed, e.g. hydrolyzed, etc., since an individual water-soluble high polymer has a high moisture content. The dissolution speed can be controlled by using the fumaric acid and/or DL- tryptophan of low molecular weight along or at an optional ratio and the aimed substained release pharmaceutical can be obtained without limitation whether the drug efficacious ingredients are soluble or slightly soluble in water.
PURPOSE:An antiallergic agent, consisting of 2-(bromodifluoromethylmercapto) anisole, capable of keeping the strong and selective antagonistic action on slow-reacting substances of anaphylaxis (SRS-A), and useful as a remedy for bronchial asthma, etc. with low toxicity. CONSTITUTION:An antiallergic agent consisting of 2-(bromodifluoromethylmercapto)anisole of the formula. The compound of the formula is well known as an intermediate for a remedy for hypocholesterolemia, germicide, etc. but newly found to be useful as an antiallergic agent. The compound of the formula has strong and selective antagonistic action on slow-reacting substances of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) and useful for preventing and treating various allergies, e.g. bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis or urticaria, caused by the SRS-A. The SRS-A is considered to be particularly a causative substance for the bronchial asthma, and therefore expectable as a specific medicine for the bronchial asthma.
Obesity is a growing epidemic, currently affecting over 1/3 of the adult US population and is a well-established risk factor for the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Given that the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are obese, weight loss is the cornerstone of treatment, and has been shown to decrease risk of long term complications, lead to improvements in A1c and lipid levels, as well as decreased need for medications and improvements in quality of life. Unfortunately, lifestyle intervention is often ineffective at achieving long-term sustainable, clinically significant weight loss. Bariatric surgery is a successful intervention, leading to 20-30% weight loss with remission of diabetes in 30-65% of patients 1-5 years post surgery. However, this invasive procedure is associated with high rates of short- and long-term complications, including need for reoperations, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, anemia, and osteoporosis. It is clear that the current management options for obese patients, including lifestyle changes, medications and surgery, are suboptimal and innovative strategies are necessary to optimize diabetes control and weight management.

Energy balance and glycemic control are mediated largely by the gut-brain axis, specifically the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve can stimulate or inhibit food intake depending on nutritional status. Vagal nerve signaling is disrupted in the setting of obesity and thought to contribute to overeating behaviors. Vagus nerve blockade has the potential to be a highly efficacious, minimally invasive intervention to address current obesity treatment limitations. Clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of an implantable electric vagus nerve blockade device found that subjects lost on average 8.8% of total body weight at 1 year; patients with T2D experienced improved glycemic control, with an average A1c improvement of 1.0% at 12 months. Unfortunately, nearly 40% of subjects experienced side effects related to the device. A recent pilot study from the researchers of this study reported weight loss efficacy of a minimally invasive computerized tomography (CT) guided cryoablation of the vagus nerve in obese, non-diabetic subjects. Patients lost 5.6% of total body weight and 22.7% excess body weight at 6 months with no significant side effects. The purpose of this current study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of this procedure through a randomized control trial in obese patients with T2D. The researchers hypothesize that those patients undergoing the cryoablation procedure will experience improvement in glycemic control and enhanced weight loss at 6 months follow-up compared to the control group.

Participants will be randomized to receive either CT guided cryoablation of the vagus nerve plus lifestyle intervention or lifestyle intervention alone. The lifestyle intervention lasts for 26 weeks and participants will be followed for 12 months in total.
BACKGROUND: Renal fibrosis (RF) produced adverse effect on kidney function. Recently, intestinal dysbiosis is a key regulator that promotes the formation of renal fibrosis. This study will focus on exploring the protective mechanism of Kangxianling Formula (KXL) on renal fibrosis from the perspective of intestinal flora.
METHODS: Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction (UUO) was used to construct rats' model with RF, and receive KXL formula intervention for 1 week. The renal function indicators were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson and Sirus red staining were employed to detect the pathological changes of renal tissue in each group. The expression of α-SMA, Col-III, TGF-β, FN, ZO-1, and Occuludin was detected by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Rat feces samples were collected and analyzed for species' diversity using high-throughput sequencing 16S rRNA.
RESULTS: Rats in UUO groups displayed poor renal function as well as severe RF. The pro-fibrotic protein expression in renal tissues including α-SMA, Col-III, TGF-β and FN was increased in UUO rats, while ZO-1 and Occuludin -1 expression was downregulated in colon tissues. The above changes were attenuated by KXL treatment. 16S rRNA sequencing results revealed that compared with the sham group, the increased abundance of pathogenic bacteria including Acinetobacter, Enterobacter and Proteobacteria and the decreased abundance of beneficial bacteria including Actinobacteriota, Bifidobacteriales, Prevotellaceae, and Lactobacillus were found in UUO group. After the administration of KXL, the growth of potential pathogenic bacteria was reduced and the abundance of beneficial bacteria was enhanced.
CONCLUSION: KXL displays a therapeutical potential in protecting renal function and inhibiting RF, and its mechanism of action may be associated with regulating intestinal microbiota.
The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been increasing in Southeast Asia (SEA) in tandem with its economic growth and urbanization over the past 2 decades. Specific characteristics of IBD in SEA are similar to East Asia and the West, such as the declining ratio of ulcerative colitis to Crohn's disease. However, exceptionally low familial aggregation is seen. Smoking is also not a common risk factor in patients with Crohn's disease. The incidence of perianal disease is higher in SEA than in Australia and is comparable to the West. In a multiracial population, such as Singapore and Malaysia, Indians have the highest incidence and prevalence rates, which are likely to be due to important putative mutations. For instance, a higher frequency of the NOD2 predisposing mutation SNP5 and IBD risk allele IGR2198a and IGR2092a were found in Indians. Although differences in the genetic constitution play an important role in the epidemiology and prognosis of IBD in SEA, the emergence of this disease offers a unique opportunity to identify potential exposomes that contribute to its pathogenesis.
AIM: In April 2020, the Japanese government introduced a Specific Medical Fee for managing secondary dysmenorrhea (SD). This initiative provided financial incentives to medical facilities that provide appropriate management of SD with hormonal therapies. We aimed to assess how this policy affects the management processes and outcomes of patients with SD.
METHODS: Using a large Japanese administrative claims database, we identified outpatient visits of patients diagnosed with SD from April 2018 to March 2022. We used an interrupted time-series analysis and defined before April 2020 as the pre-introduction period and after April 2020 as the post-introduction period. Outcomes were the monthly proportions of outpatient visits due to SD and hormonal therapy among women in the database and the proportions of outpatient visits for hormonal therapy and continuous outpatient visits among patients with SD.
RESULTS: We identified 815 477 outpatient visits of patients diagnosed with SD during the pre-introduction period and 920 183 outpatient visits during the post-introduction period. There were significant upward slope changes after the introduction of financial incentives in the outpatient visits due to SD (+0.29% yearly; 95% confidence interval, +0.20% to +0.38%) and hormonal therapies (+0.038% yearly; 95% confidence interval, +0.030% to +0.045%) among the women in the database. Similarly, a significant level change was observed after the introduction of continuous outpatient visits among patients with SD (+2.68% monthly; 95% confidence interval, +0.87% to +4.49%).
CONCLUSIONS: Government-issued financial incentives were associated with an increase in the number of patients diagnosed with SD, hormonal therapies, and continuous outpatient visits.
BACKGROUND: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are rare and lethal cancers, with a 5-year survival inferior to 20%(1-3). The only potential curative treatment is surgical resection. However, despite complex surgical procedures that have a remarkable risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality, the 5-year survival rate after radical surgery (R0) is 20-40% and recurrence rates are up to ~ 75%(4-6). Up to ~ 40% of patients relapse within 12 months after resection, and half of these patient will recur systemically(4-6). There is no standard of care for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in resectable BTC, but retrospective reports suggest its potential benefit (7, 8).
METHODS: PURITY is a no-profit, multicentre, randomized phase II/III trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin and nabpaclitaxel (GAP) as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with resectable BTC at high risk for recurrence. Primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant GAP followed by surgery as compared to upfront surgery, in terms of 12-month progression-free survival for the phase II part and of progression free survival (PFS) for the phase III study. Key Secondary objectives are event free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival, (RFS), overall survival (OS), R0/R1/R2 resection rate, quality of life (QoL), overall response rate (ORR), resectability. Safety analyses will include toxicity rate and perioperative morbidity and mortality rate. Exploratory studies including Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in archival tumor tissues and longitudinal ctDNA analysis are planned to identify potential biomarkers of primary resistance and prognosis.
DISCUSSION: Considering the poor prognosis of resected BTC experiencing early tumor recurrence and the negative prognostic impact of R1/R2 resections, PURITY study is based on the rationale that NAC may improve R0 resection rates and ultimately patients' outcomes. Furthermore, NAC should allow early eradication of microscopic distant metastases, undetectable by imaging but already present at the time of diagnosis and avoid mortality and morbidity associated with resection for patients with rapid progression or worsening general condition during neoadjuvant therapy. The randomized PURITY study will evaluate whether patients affected by BTC at high risk from recurrence benefit from a neoadjuvant therapy with GAP regimen as compared to immediate surgery.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: PURITY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06037980) and EuCT(2023-503295-25-00).

In a method for enhancing localized delivery of a diagnostic or therapeutic agent using focused ultrasound (FUS), ultrasound-controllable drug carriers are administered into a blood vessel. Each drug carrier comprises an ultrasound-sensitive microbubble loaded with the diagnostic or therapeutic agent. The drug carriers are aggregated inside the vessel both along a radial direction and a longitudinal direction by application of an aggregation FUS sequence. Subsequently the diagnostic or therapeutic agent is released from the drug carriers by application of an uncaging FUS sequence. The aggregation and uncaging sequences are applied using FUS below a threshold power level such that harmful cavitation is avoided, as evidenced by the absence of broadband emissions and preferably non-integer harmonics from an emission spectrum of the drug carriers. Thereby damage to the vasculature by the FUS sequence is avoided. The method can in particular be employed to deliver drugs to the brain without opening the blood-brain barrier.
COCs containing ethinyl estradiol may inhibit the metabolism of other compounds. COCs have been shown to significantly decrease plasma concentrations of lamotrigine, likely due to induction of lamotrigine glucuronidation. This may reduce seizure control; therefore, dosage adjustments of lamotrigine may be necessary. Consult the labeling of the concurrently-used drug to obtain further information about interactions with COCs or the potential for enzyme alterations. [See Clinical Pharmacology (12.3).]

Women on thyroid hormone replacement therapy may need increased doses of thyroid hormone because serum concentrations of thyroid-binding globulin increase with use of COCs.
