Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is a widely advocated regional technique for alleviating postoperative pain in children undergoing elective pectus excavatum repair. However, this technique is associated with some undesirable adverse events. Recently, the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been introduced as a practical alternative to the TPVB in thoracic surgery. This interfascial regional anesthesia technique interrupts pain sensation by injecting local anesthetics between the muscular layers of the thoracic wall. Several case series described it as an effective pain management technique following pectus excavatum repair. Therefore, this trial is designed to test the hypothesis that ESPB is non-inferior to TPVB in postoperative pain control after pectus excavatum repair. This is a prospective randomized double-blind non-inferiority trial. A total of 40 patients aged 4 to 18 years undergoing Nuss surgery will be randomly assigned to receive pain treatment with either ESPB or TPVB. All patients will receive additional systemic multimodal analgesia with an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pump and acetaminophen. The primary outcome is the pain intensity at rest, 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include accumulated morphine-equivalent consumption, postoperative pain scores, emergence agitation incidence, time of the first mobilization, time to first rescue analgesia, complications related to pain treatment, and morphine-related adverse events. This will the first randomized controlled trial to compare ESPB with TPVB for analgesia after pectus excavatum repair. This trial aims to provide important clinical evidence to elaborate on the analgesic mechanism of ESPB in children. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05034601 . This trial was prospectively registered.

A 44-year-old woman visited a hospital with microscopic hematuria in June 2009. Computed tomography showed a large bladder diverticulum at right lateral wall and urachal remnant. Cystoscopic examination showed a large diverticulum at the right lateral wall that closes to the dome. She was followed up closely without therapeutic intervention; however, the residual urine increased gradually and frequent bladder diverticulitis developed. She underwent laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy and excision of the urachal remnant simultaneously without any complications in August 2017. Laparoscopic approach for a large bladder diverticulum and urachal remnant is useful with safe, effective, and minimally invasive.

To investigate the efficacy of the SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway (VLMA) in combination with a bronchial blocker in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients who underwent minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were grouped based on their treatment methods: 68 patients who received the SaCo VLMA combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the L group, while 52 patients who received a tracheal tube combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the E group. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were compared between the two groups at several time points: prior to anesthesia induction (P1), immediately after anesthesia induction (P2), 1 minute after the insertion of the tracheal tube or placement of the laryngeal mask airway (P3), and 1 minute after the removal of the tracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway (P4). Additionally, the following parameters were recorded and compared: peak airway pressure (Ppeak), airway plateau pressure (Pplat), and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO Compared to the E group, the L group exhibited significantly higher HR and MAP at time points P2, P3, and P4 (P < 0.05).

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic, relapsing condition that is epidemic in the USA. OUD is associated with serious adverse consequences, including higher incarceration rates, impaired medical and mental health, and overdose-related fatalities. Several medications with demonstrated clinical efficacy in reducing opioid use are approved to treat OUD. However, there is evidence that medications for OUD cause metabolic impairments, which raises concerns over the long-term metabolic health of individuals recovering from OUD. Here, we summarize the scientific literature on the metabolic effects of the use of opioids, including medications for treating OUD. Our findings showed lower body weight and adiposity, and better lipid profiles in individuals with OUD. In individuals with diabetes mellitus, opioid use was associated with lower blood glucose levels. In contrast, among individuals without underlying metabolic conditions, opioids promoted insulin resistance. Treatment of OUD patients with the agonists methadone or buprenorphine caused weight gain, increased liking and intake of sugar, and impaired lipid profile and glucose metabolism, whereas treatment with the antagonist naltrexone demonstrated evidence for reduced sweet preferences. Our findings highlighted a gap in knowledge regarding the safety of medications for OUD. Further research is needed to determine how best to reduce the risk of metabolic disorder in the treatment of OUD with opioid agonists versus antagonists.

Seventy patients (median 58 years) were included. 58% were synchronously diagnosed with MPT at time of primary tumor diagnosis. Most common oncologic diagnoses were prostate (25.7%), gastrointestinal (20%), and breast (18.6%) neoplasms. Median overall survival (OS) was 1.9 months. Primaries other than prostate, breast, and lung (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.15 - 1.8; p = 0.02) and transfusion requirements (HR 2.8, 95% CI 1.01 - 7.9; p = 0.04) were independently associated with decreased OS. Administration of multiple systemic therapeutic interventions (HR 0.15, 95% CI 0.06 - 0.39; p = 0.01) was the sole factor improving OS. Assessment by PC was pursued in 51.4% of patients. The median number of consults per patient was two, with no difference in assessment rate or consult number across different primaries (P = 0.96). Four cases of palliative sedation were reported, all performed by the primary care team.

Myelophthisis (MPT) has been associated with a dreadful prognosis. Patients' access to palliative care (PC) and factors influencing its clinical outcomes are poorly described. Our aim was to analyze the impact of patient- and disease-specific characteristics on survival of patients with MPT and describe their use of PC in a resource-limited setting. Retrospective study including patients with solid tumor MPT, diagnosed between 1996 and 2018. Seventy patients (median 58 years) were included. 58% were synchronously diagnosed with MPT at time of primary tumor diagnosis. Most common oncologic diagnoses were prostate (25.7%), gastrointestinal (20%), and breast (18.6%) neoplasms. Median overall survival (OS) was 1.9 months. Primaries other than prostate, breast, and lung (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.15 - 1.8; p = 0.02) and transfusion requirements (HR 2.8, 95% CI 1.01 - 7.9; p = 0.04) were independently associated with decreased OS. Administration of multiple systemic therapeutic interventions (HR 0.15, 95% CI 0.06 - 0.39; p = 0.01) was the sole factor improving OS. Assessment by PC was pursued in 51.4% of patients. The median number of consults per patient was two, with no difference in assessment rate or consult number across different primaries (P = 0.96). Four cases of palliative sedation were reported, all performed by the primary care team. MPT is highly heterogeneous and risk stratification to optimize the use of therapeutic interventions in unison with palliative interventions is needed to maximize efforts toward improving patient quality of life. There is an alarming need of PC services in the multidisciplinary management of patients within developing regions.

Patients with chronic wounds (leg ulcers, decubitus, and diabetic foot ulcers) suffer from marked restrictions in their quality of life and can often no longer adequately carry out their everyday tasks. The need for nursing and medical care increases when other illnesses and complaints are present at the same time. Qualified wound care and the treatment of comorbidities are therefore of particular importance. The treatment of this disease, which is increasing in number, requires a holistic, multimodal treatment approach which, in addition to professional wound care, also includes comorbidities in the treatment. This case study describes an old treatment method for refractory wounds, the so-called "maggot therapy", and shows how this is integrated into a holistic, multimodal therapeutic approach.

Lung cancer is a significant contributor to global mortality rates in the human population. However, the results of current treatment options are still unsatisfactory. Thus, the study explores low-toxic natural substances that release caspases and trigger apoptosis. Neohesperidin (NHP), a flavonoid, has anticancer efficacy although its molecular mechanism is unknown. In the current work, through in-silico and in-vitro screening, we discovered that NHP significantly reduces the expression of x-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (xIAP) and ATP on its administration, leading to apoptosis in human and mice lung (A549 and LLC-1) cancerous cells. Furthermore, NHP promoted the production of second-mitochondria-derived-activator-of-caspase (SMAC) and triggers mitochondrial dysfunction which also promotes apoptosis (51.1 %) as well as necrosis (25.8 %). This mechanism is regulated by mitochondria-mediated (Bax and Bcl-2) caspases-dependent apoptotic and ROS mediated pathway which increases SMAC expression by 21.2 % along with lowering the xIAP level (by 36.5 %). Moreover, network pharmacology was utilized to delineate the interactions of the compounds within biological networks, emphasizing their potential to target multiple pathways. In addition, we investigated the alterations in metabolites within A549 cells caused by NHP using liquid-chromatography-high-resolution-mass-spectrometry (LC-HRMS)-based metabolomics. The results revealed perturbations in metabolomes that are involved in multiple pathways. Therefore, this study indicates that NHP is a potential therapeutic agent to mitigate and control the proliferation of lung cancer and also regulates the energy metabolism.

This article explores the case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) linked to heavy cannabis inhalation, amidst the rising prevalence of cannabis use globally. AEP, characterized by eosinophilic pulmonary infiltration, poses unique challenges due to its unclear pathogenesis. This case study involves a 20-year-old with recent intense cannabis use, presenting with acute chest pain, cough, and dyspnea. Diagnostic evaluation revealed bilateral interstitial syndrome on thoracic imaging and elevated blood eosinophilia. Additional investigation through bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed the diagnosis of AEP. The patient's condition rapidly improved with glucocorticoids, highlighting the significance of prompt treatment. This article underscores the importance of raising awareness among clinicians of the possibility of AEP following cannabis exposure as a diagnosis to consider, as timely diagnosis and intervention are paramount in averting potentially fatal outcomes.

We determined whether fibrin sealant augmented by an absorbable bolster could salvage kidneys with major, centrally located stab wounds. A grade 4 renal injury was created in 16 commercial swine via a 1.5 cm sagittal, centrally located, through-and-through right renal laceration. Animals were randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms, including control groups that received conventional renal capsule suture repair with an absorbable gelatin sponge bolster (3 in group 1) or a microfibrillar collagen sheet (3 in group 2) and experimental groups that received sutureless treatment entailing fibrin sealant instillation into the knife tract augmented by an external gelatin sponge (5 in group 3) or an external microfibrillar collagen sheet (5 in group 4). Arterial occlusion was not performed. Blood loss and time to hemostasis were recorded. Abdominal computerized tomography was performed at 1 week and necropsy was done at 6 weeks. Renal reconstruction with fibrin sealant resulted in significantly lower blood loss (62 vs 155 ml, p <0.05) and time to hemostasis (3.5 vs 6.5 minutes, p <0.05) than in the conventional suture groups. There was no radiographic or gross evidence of significant postoperative bleeding, urinoma formation or abnormal tissue healing in the recovery period. Gelatin sponge and collagen sheet demonstrated similar hemostatic efficacy. In this porcine renal trauma model fibrin sealant augmented by absorbable gelatin sponge or a microfibrillar collagen sheet effectively promoted hemostasis and renal salvage. Because of its safety, ease of use and efficiency, fibrin sealant appears to be an appropriate adjunct for managing challenging renal injuries.

Inverse globe retraction syndrome is a rare ocular motility disorder characterized by limited abduction, with globe retraction and up- or downshoots on attempted abduction, differentiating it from globe retraction due to Duane retraction syndrome, seen on attempted adduction. It can be congenital or acquired. We report the case of a 3-year-old girl who presented with classical features of inverse globe retraction syndrome secondary to an underlying orbital tumor involving the medial rectus muscle. Incisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a leiomyoma. At 10 months' follow-up, vision, ocular alignment, and ocular motility had improved.

Effective management of postoperative pain following oral surgery is crucial for enhancing patient care quality. Given the high sensitivity of the oral region and its complex neural network, managing postoperative pain poses significant clinical challenges. This review assessed the efficacy of pharmacological treatments methods (such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen and corticosteroids) and non-pharmacological treatment strategies (such as physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychological support), and discussed how these methods can be synergistically optimized for pain management. Additionally, this paper explored the challenges associated with implementing these strategies, including the standardization of pain assessment, the ongoing education of nursing staff, and the importance of interdisciplinary team collaboration. By integrating these approaches, this review aims to guide improvements in clinical pain management practices to enhance patient recovery outcomes and satisfaction, reduce reliance on pharmacological treatments, and ultimately elevate the overall quality of nursing care. 有效的口腔外科术后疼痛管理对提升患者护理质量至关重要。口腔区域的高敏感性和复杂的神经网络,对口腔外科术后疼痛的管理提出了显著的临床挑战。本综述评估了药物治疗方法(如非甾体抗炎药、对乙酰氨基酚和糖皮质激素)以及非药物治疗策略(如物理治疗、认知行为疗法和心理支持)的应用效果,并探讨这些方法如何共同优化疼痛管理。此外,本文还探讨了执行这些策略的挑战,包括疼痛评估的标准化、护理人员的持续教育和跨专业团队协作的重要性。通过综合这些方法,本综述旨在指导临床实践中的疼痛管理改进,以增强患者的康复效果和满意度,同时减少对药物治疗的依赖,进而提高护理服务的整体质量。.

Renal tumors with inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion pose significant challenges for surgical and anesthetic management. This report presents the anesthetic management of a patient with a level 3 IVC-invading renal tumor, emphasizing the complexity and multidisciplinary approach required. A 55-year-old woman with a large left renal tumor causing complete obstruction of the left renal vein and near-total obstruction of the IVC was admitted for surgery. Multidisciplinary planning included a nephrectomy with removal of tumor from the IVC. The patient underwent general anesthesia with extensive hemodynamic monitoring and fluid management to mitigate potential blood loss and cardiovascular instability. The surgery, lasting 5 h, involved successful radical nephrectomy, tumor removal from the IVC, and resection of liver metastases. Postoperative recovery was without complications, and the patient was discharged 7 days. Managing anesthesia for renal tumors with IVC invasion requires careful preoperative planning, invasive monitoring, and multidisciplinary approach.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular malignancy that originates from vascular endothelial or pre-endothelial cells and is composed of epithelioid or histiocytoid cells. This malignancy has an incidence of approximately one per one million individuals and can occur in various regions of the body including the lungs, liver, bones, and soft tissues. The behavior of this cancer can range from indolent to aggressive and diagnosis and treatment are often delayed due to variable presentations and lack of established treatment guidelines. Here we present the case of a 27-year-old Hispanic male that presented with right groin pain, abdominal pain, and a fifty-pound weight loss over one year. The patient had a complex hospital course during which he was found to have an angiomyomatous hamartoma of his right groin area, postsurgical right inguinal wound infection with Actinomyces meyeri, and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma distal to the right iliac bifurcation. The patient is currently pending further imaging studies to evaluate candidacy for surgical resection and following with oncology for chemotherapeutic options.

Almost 80% work with seniors (≥65 years) and almost 70% work with adults (18-65 years) half the time or more. In inpatient rehabilitation, 46.8% reported that they manage patients with tracheostomy half the time or more. In outpatient rehabilitation settings, 21.3% reported that they manage patients with tracheostomy half the time or more. Prior to managing complex airway patients independently, 55.3% received less than 5 h formal tracheostomy training whilst 68.1% received less than 5 h training on ventilated patients. Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) existed for tracheostomy patients (85.1%) and ventilated patients (70.2%) and high levels of confidence were reported for managing patients with tracheostomies (mode of 4 in a scale of 0-5, where 5 means fully confident) and ventilated patients (mode of 3 in a scale of 0-5). A significant relationship was found between level of confidence and presence of an MDT.

There is increased involvement of speech and language therapists (SLTs) in critical care and long-term units supporting patients with ventilatory needs and complex dysphagia. SLTs have a range of specialist knowledge in the function of the pharynx and larynx to enable them to support therapeutic interventions and contribute to the management of those patients. In Israel, there are currently no designated courses or training programmes for SLTs to establish advanced clinical skills in tracheostomy and ventilator management. There are currently standards of care for SLT working in designated wards for ventilated patients, however not in acute wards, critical care, and internal medicine wards where ventilated patients can be hospitalized. To identify the skills and expertise of the Israeli SLT workforce working with tracheostomy patients. Specifically, to identify their level of training, access to training, client population, work settings, and level of work confidence. The study involved electronic distribution of a 55-item online survey to SLTs in Israel. The questions included demographic information, training, confidence, and clinical support. Responses were received from 47 SLTs. The majority (40.4%) spent between 1% and 9% of their clinical time with ventilated patients. Almost 80% work with seniors (≥65 years) and almost 70% work with adults (18-65 years) half the time or more. In inpatient rehabilitation, 46.8% reported that they manage patients with tracheostomy half the time or more. In outpatient rehabilitation settings, 21.3% reported that they manage patients with tracheostomy half the time or more. Prior to managing complex airway patients independently, 55.3% received less than 5 h formal tracheostomy training whilst 68.1% received less than 5 h training on ventilated patients. Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) existed for tracheostomy patients (85.1%) and ventilated patients (70.2%) and high levels of confidence were reported for managing patients with tracheostomies (mode of 4 in a scale of 0-5, where 5 means fully confident) and ventilated patients (mode of 3 in a scale of 0-5). A significant relationship was found between level of confidence and presence of an MDT. Limited training access was found for SLTs working with this complex population. A competency framework needs to be established with access to training and supervision. MDT existence contributes to confidence. Most respondents worked in rehabilitation settings, and very few worked in acute care, critical care, and internal medicine wards. It seems reasonable that in order to change this, minimal standards of care should be established on these wards. What is already known on the subject Speech and language therapists (SLTs) have an important role in critical care and long-term units supporting patients with complex dysphagia and undergo formal training and supervision in UK and Australia. What this paper adds to existing knowledge In Israel, most SLTs work with tracheostomy and ventilated adult patients in rehabilitation settings, whilst few work in acute, critical care, and internal medicine wards. There are limited opportunities for formal training and supervision, although MDT support enhances clinical confidence. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? SLTs in Israel would benefit from establishing a competency framework for tracheostomy and ventilator patient management to support training, standards of care, and increase clinical involvement in acute settings. This will enhance clinical outcomes for their large population of complex airway patients.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) has a much higher incidence among caucasians that in any other race. Furthermore: females are much more susceptible than males and white females living in colder, wetter areas are much more susceptible than those living in warmer areas. On the other hand, menstruating women have increased copper (Cu) absorption and half-life, so they tend to accumulate more Cu than males. Moreover, rapidly growing girls have an increased demand for zinc (Zn), but their rapidly decreasing production of melatonin results in impaired Zn absorption, which is exacerbated by the high Cu levels. The low Zn levels result in deficient CuZnSuperoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), which in turn leads to increased levels of superoxide. Menstruating females also often present with low magnesium (Mg) and vitamin B6 levels. Vitamin B6 moderates intracellular nitric oxide (NO) production and extracellular Mg is required for NO release from the cell, so that a deficiency of these nutrients results in increased NO production in the cell and reduced release from the cell. The trapped NO combines with superoxide to form peroxinitrite, an extremely powerful free radical that leads to the myelin damage of MS. Iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo) and cadmium (Cd) accumulation also increase superoxide production. Which explains MS in males, who tend to accumulate Fe much faster and Cu much less rapidly than females. Since vitamin D is paramount for Mg absorption, the much reduced exposure to sunlight in the higher latitudes may account for the higher incidence in these areas. Moreover, vitamin B2 is a cofactor for xanthine oxidase, and its deficiency exacerbates the low levels of uric acid caused by high Cu levels, resulting in myelin degeneration. Finally Selenium (Se) and vitamin E prevent lipid peroxidation and EPA and DHA upregulate CuZnSOD. Therefore, supplementation with 100 mg MG, 25 mg vit B6, 10 mg vit B2, 15 mg Zn and 400 IU vit D and E, 100 microg Se, 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA per day between 14 and 16 years of age may prevent MS.

Anatomical regeneration of bladder wall primary afferents was demonstrated by the presence of labeled wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase fibers in the dorsal horn and sacral parasympathetic nucleus in 8 of 9 cases of olfactory ensheathing cell implantation but not in the 9 controls injected with vehicle. One week after surgery all rats had an atonic bladder on cystometrography. At 6 weeks 8 of the 9 olfactory ensheathing cell implanted rats had recovered bladder activity. No recovery was observed in controls, in which vehicle was injected instead of olfactory ensheathing cells.

We performed spinal implantation of olfactory ensheathing cells to demonstrate dorsal root afferent regeneration as well as bladder activity restoration after lumbosacral L6 to S2 rhizotomy. Spinal segments receiving bladder innervation, usually L6, S1 and S2, were identified by bipolar stimulation of the ventral roots. Bilateral section of the identified dorsal roots L6 to S2 was performed in 18 male Wistar rats. Immediately after rhizotomy olfactory ensheathing cells or vehicle was unilaterally injected in the vicinity of the sacral parasympathetic nucleus in 9 rats each using a glass micropipette and air pulse system. The severed roots were reattached to the cord with fibrin glue and the animals recovered under antibiotic prophylaxis. Anatomical regeneration of bladder wall primary afferents was demonstrated by the presence of labeled wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase fibers in the dorsal horn and sacral parasympathetic nucleus in 8 of 9 cases of olfactory ensheathing cell implantation but not in the 9 controls injected with vehicle. One week after surgery all rats had an atonic bladder on cystometrography. At 6 weeks 8 of the 9 olfactory ensheathing cell implanted rats had recovered bladder activity. No recovery was observed in controls, in which vehicle was injected instead of olfactory ensheathing cells. Regenerated primary afferent fibers from the bladder project to the sacral parasympathetic nucleus, where they presumably form synapses mediating the recovery of bladder activity. Thus, olfactory ensheathing cell implants in the adult rat promote sensory axon regeneration, target reinnervation and bladder activity restoration.

Adrenal incidentaloma (AI) secreting small amounts of glucocorticoids may cause morphological and functional changes in the blood vessels. Early stages of cardiovascular remodeling may be observed among asymptomatic patients with AI. But it is unclear whether the nonfunctional adrenal incidentalomas (NFAI) may also be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between NFAI, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and cardiovascular risk (CVR) based on Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) prediction models for Europe. This study from a single centre in Poland included 48 NFAI patients and 44 individuals in the control group matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). All participants underwent adrenal imaging, biochemical evaluation, measurement of CIMT, and assessment of the 10-year risk of cardiovascular mortality based on the SCORE algorithm. Hormonal evaluation was conducted in AI patients. The NFAI group showed significantly higher sodium (p = 0.02) and glucose levels in the 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (p = 0.04), a higher CIMT (p < 0.01), and a higher CVR calculated according to the SCORE algorithm (p = 0.03). The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was higher in the NFAI group (p = 0.015). Hypertension (p < 0.01) and IGT (p = 0.026) were more common in the NFAI group. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between CIMT and age (r = 0.373, p = 0.003), waist circumference (r = 0.316, p = 0.029), diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.338, p = 0.019), and CVR based on the SCORE algorithm (r = 0.43, p = 0.004). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between CIMT and serum cortisol levels after 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (r = 0.33, p = 0.02). Non-functional adrenal adenomas are associated with increased CIMT and CVR. Early stages of cardiovascular remodelling can be observed in asymptomatic NFAI patients.

This study explores a method of detecting smoke plumes effectively as the early sign of a forest fire. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used for forest fire detection; however, they have not been customized or optimized for smoke characteristics. This paper proposes a CNN-based forest smoke detection model featuring novel backbone architecture that can increase detection accuracy and reduce computational load. Since the proposed backbone detects the plume of smoke through different views using kernels of varying sizes, it can better detect smoke plumes of different sizes. By decomposing the traditional square kernel convolution into a depth-wise convolution of the coordinate kernel, it can not only better extract the features of the smoke plume spreading along the vertical dimension but also reduce the computational load. An attention mechanism was applied to allow the model to focus on important information while suppressing less relevant information. The experimental results show that our model outperforms other popular ones by achieving detection accuracy of up to 52.9 average precision (AP) and significantly reduces the number of parameters and giga floating-point operations (GFLOPs) compared to the popular models.

Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) of solid liver tumors (SLT) has not become widespread due to technical problems, the risk of air embolism, and possible tumoral spread in malignant lesions. We present our experience of LLR in SLT. Between January 2003 and May 2005, we performed the laparoscopic approach in 16 patients with SLT. Preoperative diagnosis was liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma in 11 patients and benign tumor in the remaining five patients. Five of the lesions were located in the left lobe, another 10 in the right lobe (two in S. V, four in S. VI and four in S. VII) and the remaining lesion was bilobar (S. III and VI). LLRs were performed by complete laparoscopic hepatectomy (CLH) (n=8) and assisted laparoscopic hepatectomy (ALH) (n=8). LLR was completed in 13 patients (81%). Surgical technique (n=13) consisted of three left lobectomies, one with partial resection of S. IV, three bisegmentectomies (two of S. VI and VII and one of S. III and IV, the latter associated with metastasectomy in S. VIII), five segmentectomies (one of S. II, two of S. V and two of S. VI, one of the latter associated with metastasectomy in S. VII) and two local resections of benign tumors. There was no intra- or postoperative mortality. With CLH the LLR was completed in five patients (62%), whereas with ALH there were no conversions. Only one of the 13 resected patients required transfusion. Seventeen nodules were excised in the 13 LLR, and 12 of 17 required the Pringle maneuver. The mean length of hospital stay was 4.9 days (3-14 days). Only one female patient (7.7%) developed an infected hematoma, requiring radiological drainage.

This study is to identify significant dosimetric parameters for ear disorders in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with intensity modulated therapy only. Ninety-seven patients with NPC were retrospectively reviewed. Organs at risk (OARs) in the auditory apparatus were contoured. Dose-volume histogram parameters were generated for the Eustachian tube (ET), tympanic cavity (TC), mastoid air cells, vestibular apparatus, cochlea and internal auditory canal (IAC). Ear disorders were rated 0 (none), 1 (mild) or 2 (severe) by a clinician blinded to radiation doses; Grade 2 ear disorders was the study end-point. Multivariate analysis revealed ET.D30 (dose to 30% of ET volume) >52.75 Gy and M.D0.5CC (dose to 0.5 ml of mastoid volume) >41.04 Gy (OR = 3.77, P = 0.012 and OR = 1.27, P = 0.033, respectively) were associated with Grade 2 ear disorders. Our results demonstrated that post-irradiation ear disorders remain a common late toxicity in NPC after IMRT. ET.D30 and M.D0.5CC should be considered during IMRT treatment plan optimization, review and approval.

In this study, we isolated four Weissella confusa strains from the healthy horse feces to test their potential as equine probiotics. The identification and characteristics of these isolates were determined as per standard methods. Resistance and susceptibility of the isolated strains were tested to low pHs, different heat treatments, commonly used antibiotics and against the pathogenic strains of Salmonella, Pasteurella, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. After 3 h cultural in different pH medium, the 4 strains still had a certain amount of survival above pH 3.0. WH2 and WH4 were still viable at pH2.5. All the isolated strains showed proper growth at 60 °C while no strain survived at 80 °C. The inhibition of α-amylase, the scavenging ability of free radical DPPH· and hydroxyl free radical HO·were also investigated. The results showed that WH4 had highest inhibition rate of α-amylase activity and DPPH· free radical scavenging rate, and the inhibition rate of α-amylase activity was 24.09% and the DPPH· free radical scavenging rate was 35.78%. The inhibition rate ofα-amylase activity and DPPH· scavenging rate of free radicals in the other three strains were about 10%. The clearance rate of hydroxyl radical (HO·) in 4 strains was between 12% and 15%. The antibiotic susceptibilities varied for these four Weisella strains but all of them showed resistance against the frequently used equine antibiotics. All the four strains successfully suppressed the growth of standard strains in in vitro bacteriostasis experiment, which included Salmonella enteritidis (NTNC13349), Escherichia coli (C83902) and Staphylococcus aureus (BNCC186335). they also successfully suppressed the growth of state key laboratory isolating pathogens, which are Pasterurella multocida and Salmonella. Our findings suggest that the isolated strains of Weissella confusa can act as potential equine probiotics and should be explored further.

Hepatocyte transforming factor 1B-maturity onset diabetes mellitus of the young (HNF1B-MODY) is an autosomal dominant type of monogenic diabetes caused by a mutation in the gene encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor 1beta (HNF-1beta). The aim of this study was to determine if a HNF1B gene mutation was responsible for a dominantly inherited form of diabetes mellitus among the members of a three-generation Polish family. The index subject was a 13-year-old boy with metabolic syndrome, spina bifida occulta, posterior urethral valves, congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and a family history of diabetes of autosomal dominant trait of inheritance. We performed clinical and laboratory examinations of his family and sequenced the HNF1B gene. A novel Q248X mutation (nucleotide C to T transition at position 742 of the exon 3 of HNF1B gene, resulting in stop codon formation) was identified. Phenotypes of family members sharing this mutation are highly variable, and include previously known abnormalities of the urinary system and pancreas, diabetes mellitus of variable onset and severity, hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, elevated aminotransferases, hyperbilirubinemia, hyperamylasemia, short stature and cataracts. To the best of our knowledge, spina bifida occulta, pectus carinatum, and splenomegaly have not been previously reported. Our results broaden the spectrum of HNF1B gene mutations and HNF1B-MODY-related phenotypes.
