Abstract
The article deals with challenges faced by the geriatric populations while on MDR treatment. Risk factors like tobacco use, low socio-economic status, previous disease, longer delays in seeking treatment and reduced mobility are some of the challenges while initiating MDR treatment. Other issues like drug-related adverse events and increased co-morbidity pose a major challenge while treating patients. Susceptibility among the geriatric age group includes various anatomical and physiological changes including nutritional deficiencies and co morbidities.

Objective Assessment of Covid-19 Severity Affecting the Vocal and Respiratory System Using a Wearable, Autonomous Sound Collar. Cell Mol Bioeng 2021; 15:67-86. [PMID: 34777597 PMCID: PMC8570400 DOI: 10.1007/s12195-021-00712-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Since the outbreak began in January 2020, Covid-19 has affected more than 161 million people worldwide and resulted in about 3.3 million deaths. Despite efforts to detect human infection with the virus as early as possible, the confirmatory test still requires the analysis of sputum or blood with estimated results available within approximately 30 minutes; this may potentially be followed by clinical referral if the patient shows signs of aggravated pneumonia. This work aims to implement a soft collar as a sound device dedicated to the objective evaluation of the pathophysiological state resulting from dysphonia of laryngeal origin or respiratory failure of inflammatory origin, in particular caused by Covid-19. Methods In this study, we exploit the vibrations of waves generated by the vocal and respiratory system of 30 people. A biocompatible acoustic sensor embedded in a soft collar around the neck collects these waves. The collar is also equipped with thermal sensors and a cross-data analysis module in both the temporal and frequency domains (STFT). The optimal coupling conditions and the electrical and dimensional characteristics of the sensors were defined based on a mathematical approach using a matrix formalism. Results The characteristics of the signals in the time domain combined with the quantities obtained from the STFT offer multidimensional information and a decision support tool for determining a pathophysiological state representative of the symptoms explored. The device, tested on 30 people, was able to differentiate patients with mild symptoms from those who had developed acute signs of respiratory failure on a severity scale of 1 to 10. Conclusion With the health constraints imposed by the effects of Covid-19, the heavy organization to be implemented resulting from the flow of diagnostics, tests and clinical management, it was urgent to develop innovative and safe biomedical technologies. This passive listening technique will contribute to the non-invasive assessment and dynamic observation of lesions. Moreover, it merits further examination to provide support for medical operators to improve clinical management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Motility and functional disorders are common in children and often debilitating, yet these disorders remain challenging to treat effectively. At the 2018 Annual North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition meeting, the Neurogastroenterology and Motility Committee held a full day symposium entitled, 2018 Advances In Motility and In NeuroGastroenterology - AIMING for the future. The symposium aimed to explore clinical paradigms in pediatric gastrointestinal motility disorders and provided a foundation for advancing new scientific and therapeutic research strategies. METHODS The symposium brought together leading experts throughout North America to review the state of the art in the diagnosis and management of motility and functional disorders in children. Presentations were divided into esophageal, antral duodenal, and colorectal modules. Each module included oral presentations by experts in the respective fields, leading to thought-provoking discussions. There were 2 breakout sessions with small group discussions on select topics, focusing on defining scientific insights into the diagnosis and management of pediatric functional gastrointestinal and motility disorders in a systematic, segment-based approach. CONCLUSIONS The field of neurogastroenterology has made remarkable progress in the last decade. The current report summarizes the major learning points from the symposium highlighting the diagnosis and promising therapies on the horizon for pediatric neurogastrointestinal and motility disorders.

Epidemiology and healthcare utilization of inpatient admissions in children with pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2020; 32:e13781. [PMID: 31885159 DOI: 10.1111/nmo.13781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2019] [Revised: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 11/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare disorder affecting gastrointestinal motility leading to chronic symptoms and hospitalizations. There is limited understanding of the epidemiology and healthcare burden. METHODS We analyzed data from Kids' Inpatient Database from 2016, which includes inpatient discharge records from US hospitals. ICD-10 codes were used to identify patients 0-18 years with pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction and comorbid conditions. Multivariable logistic regression and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used. RESULTS In 2016, there were 1671 inpatient discharges from US hospitals for patients 0-18 years of age with this diagnosis. The incidence of inpatient admission was 29/100 000 patients. After controlling for age, race, income status, and insurance, males vs females (adjusted odds ratio, aOR: 1.10; 95% CI: 0.94-1.28; P = .241) and caucasians vs other races (aOR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.27-1.88; P < .001) were more likely to be admitted. Inpatient admissions incurred significant healthcare burden; median (inter quartile range IQR) cost of hospitalization of US$ 52 079 (US$ 23 530-120 961) and a median (IQR) length of stay of 6 days (3-14 days). Gastrostomy (32%) and ileostomy (12.6%) status appeared to incur lower healthcare burden. Parenteral nutrition, malnutrition, and central line/bloodstream infections resulted in higher healthcare burden. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare diagnosis with a high incidence of inpatient admissions and healthcare burden. An aggressive multidisciplinary management is crucial in reducing inpatient admissions in this cohort.

Abstract
Lifetimes of the first excited 2^{+} and 4^{+} states in the extremely neutron-deficient nuclide ^{172}Pt have been measured for the first time using the recoil-distance Doppler shift and recoil-decay tagging techniques. An unusually low value of the ratio B(E2:4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+})/B(E2:2_{1}^{+}→0_{gs}^{+})=0.55(19) was found, similar to a handful of other such anomalous cases observed in the entire Segré chart. The observation adds to a cluster of a few extremely neutron-deficient nuclides of the heavy transition metals with neutron numbers N≈90-94 featuring the effect. No theoretical model calculations reported to date have been able to explain the anomalously low B(E2:4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+})/B(E2:2_{1}^{+}→0_{gs}^{+}) ratios observed in these cases. Such low values cannot, e.g., be explained within the framework of the geometrical collective model or by algebraic approaches within the interacting boson model framework. It is proposed that the group of B(E2:4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+})/B(E2:2_{1}^{+}→0_{gs}^{+}) ratios in the extremely neutron-deficient even-even W, Os, and Pt nuclei around neutron numbers N≈90-94 reveal a quantum phase transition from a seniority-conserving structure to a collective regime as a function of neutron number. Although a system governed by seniority symmetry is the only theoretical framework for which such an effect may naturally occur, the phenomenon is highly unexpected for these nuclei that are not situated near closed shells.

[PMID: 23595248 PMCID: PMC3671108 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-013-2901-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2013] [Accepted: 02/26/2013] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS We analysed the genomic organisation of miR-153, a microRNA embedded in genes that encode two of the major type 1 diabetes autoantigens, islet-associated protein (IA)-2 and IA-2β. We also identified miR-153 target genes that correlated with IA-2β localisation and function. METHODS A bioinformatics approach was used to identify miR-153's genomic organisation. To analyse the co-regulation of miR-153 and IA-2β, quantitative PCR analysis of miR-153 and Ia-2β (also known as Ptprn2) was performed after a glucose stimulation assay in MIN6B cells and isolated murine pancreatic islets, and also in wild-type Ia-2 (also known as Ptprn), Ia-2β single knockout and Ia-2/Ia-2β double knockout mouse brain and pancreatic islets. Bioinformatics identification of miR-153 target genes and validation via luciferase reporter assays, western blotting and quantitative PCR were also carried out. RESULTS Two copies of miR-153, miR-153-1 and miR-153-2, are localised in intron 19 of Ia-2 and Ia-2β, respectively. In rodents, only miR-153-2 is conserved. We demonstrated that expression of miR-153-2 and Ia-2β in rodents is partially co-regulated as demonstrated by a strong reduction of miR-153 expression levels in Ia-2β knockout and Ia-2/Ia-2β double knockout mice. miR-153 levels were unaffected in Ia-2 knockout mice. In addition, glucose stimulation, which increases Ia-2 and Ia-2β expression, also significantly increased expression of miR-153. Several predicted targets of miR-153 were reduced after glucose stimulation in vitro, correlating with the increase in miR-153 levels. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION This study suggests the involvement of miR-153, IA-2β and miR-153 target genes in a regulatory network, which is potentially relevant to insulin and neurotransmitter release.

Abstract
Abstract
Experimental myocardial infarction is typically determined using TTC. TTC, reduced to a red product in intact cells by endogenous enzymes/cofactors, remains colorless in damaged cells from which the enzymes/cofactors have been removed during reperfusion. Its use is limited to studies with prolonged reperfusion and sections cannot be used for other pathological events. Two recent studies showed that propidium iodide (PI), which enters damaged cells and intercalates with DNA to produce a red fluorescent complex, can be injected in vivo following ischemia/reperfusion to assess infarct size. We build on this in a murine model, using PI to study early infarct development and to evaluate the concurrent inflammatory response as indicated by complement C3 deposition. Occlusion of the coronary artery was followed by increasing periods of reperfusion and injection of PI to define infarction. Blue fluorescent microspheres were injected to define the area at risk (AAR). Heart slices were immediately imaged for infarction and AAR, and cryosections obtained from the slices imaged for C3 using FITC-labeled antibody. PI fluorescence revealed a significant infarction at 1 hour of reperfusion which was maintained through 24 hours. C3 deposition lagged infarction development, becoming significant at 3 hours of reperfusion. In summary, in vivo injection of PI allows study of the early stages of infarction and permits analysis, in the same tissue, of concurrently occurring inflammatory events.

Abstract
Rabies is an ancient disease of mankind. Every year 4 million people are exposed worldwide after animal bite and around 60000 fell victim to the rabies of which more than 95% of cases are bitten by the dogs. Rabies is a disease associated with many myths. The present study was conducted to find out the clinical profile of the animal bite cases including the common practices, precautions adopted by them after animal bite and lastly the extent and completion of post exposure treatment. Total 147 cases of animal bites attended the OPD during the study. In present study, 123 (83.7%) cases were bitten by dogs, followed by monkey (8.2%) and cat (8.2%). Majority (54.4%) suffered class II bites followed by class I (31.3%) and class III bite (14.3%). Of the total 147 cases, 116 cases (78.9%) completed post exposure prophylaxis which was observed higher among male and in younger age group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Knowledge about malaria, attitude and health seeking behaviour of fever patients attending Medicine Out Patient Department at Safdarjang Hospital, New Delhi were studied from June to August 2003. METHODS Cross-sectional survey comprising 200 fever cases was done with prestructured and pretested questionnaire. Data on sociodemographic profile, history of fever, health seeking behaviour, etc were recorded. RESULTS About 83% of fever cases did not approach the doctor even after three days of onset of fever symptom, 25.5% tried self medication and 20.5% approached chemists for treatment. Knowledge about causes and prevention of malaria was found to be inadequate in the study subjects. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION Knowledge about malaria is poor even in persons residing in urban localities and proper health education is required for successful control of malaria. Information, education and communication activities are indicated to create awareness among the community.

Abstract
Hispanic women constitute one of the fastest growing and most diverse groups in the United States, representing many countries of origin and cultural practices. The purpose of this evaluation study, using an ex post facto design, was to examine well-being during pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes for a cohort of 113 Hispanic women receiving perinatal care at the clinic of a community hospital in an old industrial city in the Northeast. The received adequacy of prenatal care for the study sample women was very high. The low-birthweight rate was lower than for the study hospital, the study city, the state, and the entire United States. The results of this study demonstrate the favorable effects of a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and culturally sensitive model of prenatal care on these women's well-being and birth outcomes. Findings also support the need for an outreach program targeted at hard-to-reach women in the inadequate, received-care group and women with later initiation of care.

The adrenocorticotropin response to interleukin-1 beta instilled into the rat median eminence depends on the local release of catecholamines. Endocrinology 1990; 127:2175-82.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) is a potent ACTH secretagogue which activates the release of hypothalamic CRF but is unable to cross the blood brain barrier. Recently, it was reported that IL-1 beta, instilled directly into the hypothalamic median eminence (ME), rapidly induced ACTH secretion. Thus, due to the lack of a blood brain barrier the ME appears to be a site whereby iv IL-1 beta can access the brain to stimulate CRF and, consequently, ACTH secretion. To evaluate the role of central catecholamines in this process, 250 g male rats were lesioned with 6-hydroxy-dopamine instilled into the lateral ventricle. Ten days later, rats received recombinant h-IL-1 beta (10 or 30 ng) into the ME and blood was sampled via indwelling jugular cannulae. The ACTH response to IL-1 beta, 30 ng, was reduced by approximately 50% in the lesioned rats (P = 0.05), and it was abolished in those receiving IL-1 beta, 10 ng (P less than 0.05). Moreover, in rats given iv IL-1 beta (1 microgram), 6-hydroxy-dopamine significantly reduced the ACTH response by more than 50% (P less than 0.001). To determine the effect of acute epinephrine depletion, 2,3 dichloro-alpha-methylbenzylamine (DCMB, 60 mg/kg BW) and SKF64139 (SKF) (100 mg/kg BW), inhibitors of the enzyme which converts norepinephrine to epinephrine, were administered ip 4 h before intra-ME IL-1 beta (30 ng). DCMB reduced the ACTH response by 80% and SKF reduced it to its own baseline. LY 10853, which acutely depletes both norepinephrine and epinephrine, also reduced the ACTH response by 80%. Because of the reported capacities of DCMB and SKF to block alpha 2 adrenoreceptors in vitro, yohimbine, an alpha 2 receptor antagonist, was studied. Intra-ME yohimbine failed to inhibit the ACTH response to intra-ME IL-1 beta. In contrast, a significant (P less than 0.01) dose-dependent reduction in the ACTH response to intra-ME IL-1 beta (30 ng) was observed in rats pretreated with either a nonselective alpha or beta adrenoreceptor antagonist (phentolamine, 2-40 micrograms or propranolol, 2-20 micrograms, respectively, into the ME). In contrast, intra-ME phentolamine, 20 micrograms, failed to reduce the ACTH response to iv CRF, 1 microgram/kg BW. Thus, the secretion of ACTH stimulated by the action of IL-1 beta at the ME depends, in part, on the local secretion of norepinephrine and epinephrine interacting with both alpha and beta adrenergic receptors.

Abstract
During a follow-up study we examined 85 patients (34 children) with perforated appendicitis. The operating procedure is shortly sketched. The very favourable early and late results of our patients confirm the findings of other authors [2, 4, 5] that an intraperitoneal drainage is unnecessary in patients with perforated appendicitis. We take a thick Penrose drain for any abscess within a capsule.

Abstract
The authors discuss a case in which family therapy administered in a home setting helped to break a cycle of psychiatric hospitalization that had continued for ten years. Their patient had adopted a persistent behavioral pattern involving protective magic rituals and consultations with spirits as a defense against other problems in her family relationships. With regular visits from the therapists and cooperation from each member of the family, the patient's symptoms were ameliorated and the family situation greatly improved after eight months. The authors believe that because they worked with the entire family as a system, were able to recognize sociocultural factors that had not been dealt with in the patient's hospitalizations, and were able to stimulate communication among family members in a home setting, they were able to see more immediate results and thus were able to break the costly cycle of repeated hospitalizations.
