1. Predicting peak inundation depths with a physics informed machine learning model

Author: Cheng-Chun Lee, Lipai Huang, Federico Antolini, Matthew Garcia, Andrew Juan, Samuel D. Brody, and Ali Mostafavi
Subjects: Flood depth forecast, Machine learning, Interpretable model, Near-time prediction, Medicine, Science
Abstract: Abstract Timely, accurate, and reliable information is essential for decision-makers, emergency managers, and infrastructure operators during flood events. This study demonstrates that a proposed machine learning model, MaxFloodCast, trained on physics-based hydrodynamic simulations in Harris County, offers efficient and interpretable flood inundation depth predictions. Achieving an average $$R^2$$ R 2 of 0.949 and a Root Mean Square Error of 0.61 ft (0.19 m) on unseen data, it proves reliable in forecasting peak flood inundation depths. Validated against Hurricane Harvey and Tropical Storm Imelda, MaxFloodCast shows the potential in supporting near-time floodplain management and emergency operations. The model’s interpretability aids decision-makers in offering critical information to inform flood mitigation strategies, to prioritize areas with critical facilities and to examine how rainfall in other watersheds influences flood exposure in one area. The MaxFloodCast model enables accurate and interpretable inundation depth predictions while significantly reducing computational time, thereby supporting emergency response efforts and flood risk management more effectively.

2. Specifying evacuation return and home-switch stability during short-term disaster recovery using location-based data

Author: Cheng-Chun Lee, Charles Chou, and Ali Mostafavi
Subjects: Medicine, Science
Abstract: Abstract The objectives of this study are: (1) to specify evacuation return and home-switch stability as two critical milestones of short-term recovery during and in the aftermath of disasters; and (2) to understand the disparities among subpopulations in the duration of these critical recovery milestones. Using privacy-preserving fine-resolution location-based data, we examine evacuation and home move-out rates in Harris County, Texas in the context of the 2017 Hurricane Harvey. For each of the two critical recovery milestones, the results reveal the areas with short- and long-return durations and enable evaluating disparities in evacuation return and home-switch stability patterns. In fact, a shorter duration of critical recovery milestone indicators in flooded areas is not necessarily a positive indication. Shorter evacuation return could be due to barriers to evacuation and shorter home move-out rate return for lower-income residents is associated with living in rental homes. In addition, skewed and non-uniform recovery patterns for both the evacuation return and home-switch stability were observed in all subpopulation groups. All return patterns show a two-phase return progress pattern. The findings could inform disaster managers and public officials to perform recovery monitoring and resource allocation in a more proactive, data-driven, and equitable manner.

3. The Predictability of the Surgical Outcomes of Class III Patients in the Transverse Dimension—A Study of Three-Dimensional Assessment

Author: U-Kei Lai, Cheng-Chun Wu, Yu-Jen Chang, Shiu-Shiung Lin, Jui-Pin Lai, and Te-Ju Wu
Subjects: orthognathic surgery, prognathism, malocclusion, Angle Class III, Medicine
Abstract: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of planned maxillary surgical movements in the transverse direction in patients possessing a Class III skeletal pattern. The available consecutive patients’ records were retrospectively reviewed. Only those possessing a Class III skeletal pattern, and for whom the same virtual planning system was used, were enrolled. The waferless technique was used to guide the jawbone repositioning. A representative triangle in the virtual maxilla of each stage was used to validate the planned surgical movements (PSMs) and the outcome discrepancy (OD). The linear and angular measurements were retrieved for the assessments of the correlation between PSM and OD. In total, 44 adult patients who met the inclusion criteria were studied. The average linear OD of the A-point in the transverse direction was 0.66 ± 0.54 mm, and the yaw correction showed 1.02 ± 0.84 degrees in difference. There was no specific correlation between the linear PSMs and ODs; however, the angular ones were positively correlated. With the help of the waferless technique to transfer the virtual planning results, the practitioners could confidently predict the postsurgical maxillary position in the transverse direction in the orthognathic surgery of Class III patients. However, the yaw correction should be carefully planned to avoid postsurgical instabilities.

Abstract: Heart rate trajectory patterns integrate information regarding multiple heart rate measurements and their changes with time. Different heart rate patterns may exist in one population, and these are associated with different outcomes. Our study investigated the association of adverse outcomes with heart rate trajectory patterns. This was a prospective cohort study based on the Chin-Shan Community Cardiovascular Cohort in Taiwan. A total of 3,015 Chinese community residents aged > 35 years were enrolled in a prospective investigation of cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes from 1990 to 2013.The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcome was a composite of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular accidents. The following trajectory patterns were identified: stable, 61%; decreased, 5%; mildly increased, 32%; and markedly increased, 2%. During follow-up (median, 13.9 years), 557 participants died and 217 experienced secondary outcomes. The adjusted hazard ratios of primary and secondary outcomes for participants with a markedly increased trajectory pattern were 1.80 (95% CI [1.18–2.76]) and 1.45 (95% CI [0.67–3.12]), respectively, compared to those for participants with a stable trajectory pattern. A markedly increased heart rate trajectory pattern may be associated with all-cause mortality risks. Heart rate trajectory patterns demonstrated the utility of repeated heart rate measurements for risk assessment.

Abstract: Purpose This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the artery diameter ratio (ADR) after recanalization and clinical outcomes. Methods Patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion confirmed by DSA from 1 January 2018, to 31 December 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. All patients confirmed TICI grade 2b or 3. The ADR was calculated as M2 segment diameter/M1 segment diameter. Multivariate regression analysis was used to describe clinical outcomes of two groups (ADR Results A total of 143 patients were included in the study, including 77 males and 66 females, with an average age of 67.79 ± 12 years. The NIHSS at discharge was significantly higher in the ADR 2 (AUC = 0.851) and DC (AUC = 0.805), and the best cutoff value are 0.6 (specificity 85.19%, sensitivity 75.81%) and 0.58 (specificity 65.96%, sensitivity 100%), respectively. Conclusion The low ADR is associated with poor outcomes. The decrease in ADR may be an indirect manifestation of the loss of cerebrovascular autoregulation.

Abstract: Background Respiratory viruses (RVs) are among the most common pathogens for both upper and lower respiratory tract infections (RTIs). However, the viral epidemiology of RV-associated RTIs in adults has long been under-recognized. Through a sensitive molecular assay, it would be possible to have a better understanding of the epidemiology of RV-associated RTIs. Material and methods Respiratory tract (RT) specimens from adults hospitalized due to RTIs were tested for RVs, using the multiplex PCR-based Luminex xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel assay. A total of nineteen RVs, including influenza viruses and non-influenza respiratory viruses (NIRVs) were detected. Positive rates were compared using a chi-square test. Results A total of 2292 samples from adult patients hospitalized with RTIs were screened for RVs. The overall positive rate was 22%, with 17.8% samples positive for at least one NIRV. NIRVs had a higher positive rate in non-winter seasons. As many as 12.7% (46/363) of the samples collected through broncho-alveolar lavage and 20.5% (176/859) of the samples collected in ICUs were positive for RVs. Distribution of corona virus (CoV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and parainfluenza virus (PIV) demonstrated seasonal variation. Also, temperature was associated with the positive rates of specific viruses, including CoV, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hMPV and PIV. Conclusion Respiratory viruses, notably NIRVs, were frequently detected in adults hospitalized with RTIs. Several RVs were detected with distinctive seasonal variations. A substantial number of RVs were identified in lower RT specimens or from patients admitted to ICU, highlighting their important role in causing severe respiratory infection.

Abstract: Background/aim The benefit of direct-acting antiviral therapy (DAA) in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infected patients who received curative treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is well known, but is unclear for intermediate stage HCC. Patients and methods CHC patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B HCC receiving chemoembolization were identified. Univariate, multivariate analyses, and Kaplan-Meier curve were used to identify factors associated with survival outcomes. Results Among 113 included patients, the median survival of DAA treated group (n=14) and non-treated group (n=99) were 40.1 months and 22.9 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, DAA, and serum albumin were key independent factors associated with overall survival. Moreover, the time-to-complete remission (TTCR) was improved in the DAA treated group. Conclusion ECOG, DAA, and serum albumin were prognostic factors for CHC/intermediate-stage HCC patients. DAA was also a beneficial factor for TTCR.

Abstract: Background Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive procedures are widely used to treat thyroid diseases. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of ethanol ablation (EA) in comparison with other non-surgical options in the treatment of benign thyroid cystic nodules. Methods We conducted a systematic search of studies on EA for thyroid cystic nodules, mainly in the Ovid-MEDLINE and Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. The standardized mean difference (SMD) of the volume reduction ratio (VRR) after EA versus other non-surgical treatments comprised the primary outcome, whereas the odds ratio (OR) of therapeutic success rates between the two groups comprised the secondary outcome. Results The meta-analysis included 19 studies (four randomized controlled trials and 15 non-randomized studies) with 1,514 participants. The cumulative VRR of EA was 83.908% (95% confidence interval [CI], 79.358% to 88.457%). EA had a significantly higher pooled VRR (SMD, 0.381; 95% CI, 0.028 to 0.734; P=0.030), but not a significantly higher pooled therapeutic success rate (OR, 0.867; 95% CI, 0.132 to 5.689; P=0.880), than other forms of non-surgical management including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), polidocanol sclerotherapy, and simple aspiration with or without saline flush. However, the VRR and therapeutic success rate were not significantly different between EA and RFA. Major complications were recorded only in six patients (0.53%) with self-limiting dysphonia. Conclusion The role of EA as the first-line treatment for benign thyroid cysts and predominantly cystic nodules is supported by its high effectiveness and good safety profile compared to other currently available non-surgical options.

Abstract: Silicone breast implants are used worldwide for breast augmentation. After an axillary, periareolar or inframmary incision has been made to create an adequately sized pocket; the surgeon usually uses his or her fingers to insert the implant. The use of fingers makes the insertion process time-consuming, a few minutes or more. There are some complications, including need to ensure that the incision is long enough for the implant to be inserted, scar hypertrophy caused by implant insertion friction damage to the edge of incision, and the occasional need to ask the surgical assistant to lend more fingers to facilitate satisfactory insertion and placement. In addition, the use of gloved fingers to repeatedly push on the implant can increase the risk of contamination, postoperative silicone microleakage, and capsular contracture. To resolve these problems, we developed an improved silicone breast implant injector (reusable stainless steel 2007; single use polypropylene 2018) that can be used more easily than fingers and other “no touch” devices. From 2013 to 2017, the first author, a plastic surgeon at our clinic, used the 2007 reusable stainless steel injector to perform breast augmentations in 53 patients (Ave. age 23.8 years; range 19–67 years), 5 (8.8%) receiving 250-ml implants, 41 (77.4%) 251–300-ml implants, and 7 (13.8%) 301–400-ml implants. Overall, results were satisfactory except for two patients (3.7%) in whom capsular contracture occurred. There were no ruptures. Use of the injector made it possible to shorten the length of the incisions from the traditional 4–7 to 3–4 cm and expedited insertion time from a few minutes to a few seconds. This “no touch” insertion technique reduced implant damage caused by finger pushing, leading to a decrease in silicone microleakage and capsular contracture rate. It was performed with no friction trauma to the incision edge or harm to the surgeon’s fingers. It was found to be an effective alternative operative tool for the insertion of silicone breast implants.

Abstract: Background: This study was designed to identify the potential predictors of postoperative velopharyngeal function after double opposing Z-plasty (DOZP) for the treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in patients who had prior palatoplasty for cleft palate. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients who received DOZP for VPI after receiving a prior palatoplasty treating cleft palate between 2004 and 2017. The speech outcome of patient was measured using the Pittsburgh Weighted Speech Scale (PWSS) at 6 months following surgery and determined the outcome suggests velopharyngeal competence (PWSS ≤2) or incompetence (PWSS >2). Stepwise logistic regression was used to identify the variables for the prediction of competent surgical outcome. The specific receiver operating characteristic curves with an area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictor related to the surgical outcome as competence. Results: The study included 93 patients. Age, relative velar length, velar lengthening, and closure pattern were not significantly associated with postoperative competence status of the patient. The only variable that predicted a successful surgical outcome was preoperative velar closing ratio. However, the accuracy of velar closing ratio in predicting a competent surgical outcome is only moderate (AUC = 70.37). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that preoperative velar closing ratio may predict, with moderate accuracy, a successful surgical outcome in patients with postpalatoplasty VPI who undergo DOZP. Therefore, in patients with a low preoperative velar closing ratio, some alternative surgical methods other than DOZP may be considered to avoid unsatisfactory surgical outcome.

Abstract: Background: Cardiovascular dysfunction in cirrhotic patients affects survival and the development of cirrhotic complications. We aimed to evaluate potential echocardiographic parameters to predict mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhotic patients. Methods: A total of 103 cirrhotic patients who underwent echocardiography between February 2009 and August 2016 in Taipei Veterans General Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Cardiac function was evaluated using transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography with tissue Doppler imaging. Cox hazard regression analysis was used for assessing predictors for 1-year mortality and AKI within 1 year. Results: Baseline echocardiographic parameters were similar between survivors (n = 92) and nonsurvivors (n = 11). Lower serum levels of albumin, as well as higher albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores, Child-Pugh scores, and model for end-stage liver disease scores were observed in nonsurvivors. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed Child-Pugh score as the only predictor of 1-year mortality. Baseline serum creatinine (Cr) > 1.5 mg/dL, total bilirubin > 2 mg/dL, and a higher E/e′ ratio predict occurrence of AKI within 1 year. Among patients with serum Cr < 1.5 mg/dL, an increased atrial filling velocity and higher ALBI scores predict AKI occurrence within 1 year. Conclusion: Severity of underlying liver disease but not echocardiographic parameters predicts 1-year mortality in cirrhosis. Early echocardiographic signs of diastolic dysfunction and higher ALBI scores may predict development of AKI in cirrhotic patients with serum Cr < 1.5 mg/dL.

Abstract: Introduction Hip fractures can be divided into intra-capsular and extra-capsular fracture based on fracture location; these two types of fracture have different pathogeneses, treatments and prognoses. Many factors influence the patterns of hip fractures, including the injury mechanism, areal bone mineral density and the geometry of the hip. However, the relationship between body composition and hip fracture pattern has not yet been discussed. In this investigation, an analysis of the body compositions of geriatric patients with hip fractures were conducted to identify differences between fat and muscle distributions between patients with intra- and extra-capsular hip fractures. Material and methods From December 2017 to February 2019, 139 patients with a hip fracture were prospectively enrolled in this study. The groups of patients that were diagnosed as having intra- and extra-capsular hip fractures were compared in terms of patient demographics, pre-operative laboratory data, bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition including muscle and fat distributions obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) . Results Eighty-six and 53 patients were diagnosed with intra-capsular and extra-capsular hip fractures, respectively. A significantly higher serum glucose level, a lower hemoglobin level, a lower T-score level in the proximal femur region, a lower T-score of all parts of interest, and a lower percentage fat content on the region of bilateral proximal hips (gynoid region) and in the lower limb region, were observed in patients with an extra-capsular hip fracture than in those with an intra-capsular hip fracture. However, with all confounding factors controlled for, only the T-score at the proximal femur, percentage fat content in the region of bilateral proximal hips and the ratio of android fat content to gynoid fat content (A/G ratio) are the most relevant factors in predicting the patterns of hip fracture in geriatric patients after falling. Conclusion This work demonstrates that lower fat content in the region of bilateral proximal hips and a lower BMD on the proximal femur may predict greater vulnerability of geriatric patients to extra-capsular rather than intra-capsular hip fracture after a falling accident.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Both regorafenib and reduced-intensity FOLFOXIRI (riFOLFOXIRI) prolong survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, the sequence in which they should be administrated first in late-line treatment for refractory mCRC remains unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study that reviewed data from patients at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan, with mCRC refractory to fluorouracil, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, cetuximab (wild-type RAS), and bevacizumab. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a regorafenib-first group and a riFOLFOXIRI-first group. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to analyze survival, and a Cox proportional hazards model was used for univariate, multivariate, and subgroup analyses. RESULTS A total of 136 and 55 patients followed a regorafenib-first or riFOLFOXIRI-first treatment strategy, respectively. At baseline, patient characteristics were similar between the groups, except for younger age in the riFOLFOXIRI-first group. The regorafenib-first group had better overall survival (13.8 vs. 10.7 mo, P=0.038), whereas patients in the riFOLFOXIRI-first group had a better partial response rate (P=0.005) but a higher rate of discontinuation due to adverse effects (P=0.004) and cross-over to regorafenib (P

Abstract: The effect of ultraviolet (UV) treatment on the electrical and surface properties of SiO2 is studied. UV treatment leads to the formation of the silicon peroxide in SiO2 near the surface, thus increasing the capacitance of SiO2. The effect of SiO2 gate dielectrics with UV treatment on carrier transport for a pentacene-based organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) is also studied. Experimental identification confirms that the shift of the threshold voltage towards positive gate-source voltages for OTFTs is due to an increase in the number of trap states in SiO2 near the pentacene/SiO2 interface. The existence of a peroxidation layer between pentacene and SiO2 serves to strengthen the pentacene-SiO2 interaction, reducing the field-effect carrier mobility and the leakage current in OTFTs.

Its effect on the endometrium, ovary, and fallopian tube has been well reported in many human and animal studies. However, its direct impact on post-implantation embryos remains underexplored. Additionally, some women choose to keep their pregnancy after mifepristone treatment fails. Thus, the potential risk remains controversial. Hence, this study investigated the direct effects of mifepristone on the development of mice blastocysts in vitro in terms of implantation and post-implantation. We detected the level of progesterone (P4) associated with ovulation in vivo. The presence of progesterone receptors (PRs) in blastocysts and post-implantation embryos was also evaluated. Cultured embryos were treated directly with mifepristone. We further examined embryonic implantation and post-implantation of blastocysts in vitro to evaluate the direct effects of mifepristone on embryos by the assessment of embryonic outgrowth and differential cell staining. In the oviduct lumen, the P4 level dramatically increased at 48 h and slightly decreased at 72 and 96 h following ovulation. PR was expressed in blastocysts not only in the preimplantation stage but also in the early post-implantation period. In the evaluation of developmental stages, mifepristone significantly reduced the successful ratio of developing into the late egg cylinder and the early somite stage. In addition, it further decreased the cell number of the embryos’ inner cell mass and trophectoderm. We herein provide evidence that mifepristone affects blastocyst viability directly and inhibits post-implantation embryo development in vitro. Furthermore, our data reveal a potential risk of fetus fatality and developmental problems when pregnancies are continued after mifepristone treatment fails.

Abstract: A therapeutic approach for promoting neuroprotection and brain functional regeneration after strokes is still lacking. Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), which belongs to the histone deacetylase family, is involved in the transcriptional repression of cell-cycle-modulated genes and DNA damage repair during neurodegeneration. Our previous data showed that the protein level and enzymatic activity of HDAC1 are deregulated in stroke pathogenesis. A novel compound named 5104434 exhibits efficacy to selectively activate HDAC1 enzymatic function in neurodegeneration, but its potential in stroke therapy is still unknown. In this study, we adopted an induced rat model with cerebral ischemia using the vessel dilator endothelin-1 to evaluate the potential of compound 5104434. Our results indicated compound 5104434 selectively restored HDAC1 enzymatic activity after oxygen and glucose deprivation, preserved neurite morphology, and protected neurons from ischemic damage in vitro. In addition, compound 5104434 attenuated the infarct volume, neuronal loss, apoptosis, DNA damage, and DNA breaks in cerebral ischemia rats. It further ameliorated the behavioral outcomes of neuromuscular response, balance, forepaw strength, and functional recovery. Collectively, our data support the efficacy of compound 5104434 in stroke therapy and contend that it can be considered for clinical trial evaluation.

Diseases of the nervous system, Young adult, business, RC346-429, Stroke, Original Research
Abstract: Objective: Stroke in young adults is uncommon, and the etiologies and risk factors of stroke in young adults differ from those in older populations. Smoker's paradox is an unexpected favorable outcome, and age difference is used to explain the association between smoking and the favorable functional outcome. This study aimed to investigate the existence of this phenomenon in young stroke patients.Methods: We analyzed a total of 9,087 young stroke cases registered in the nationwide stroke registry system of Taiwan between 2006 and 2016. Smoking criteria included having a current history of smoking more than one cigarette per day for more than 6 months. After matching for sex and age, a Cox model was used to compare mortality and function outcomes between smokers and non-smokers.Results: Compared with the non-smoker group, smoking was associated with older age, higher comorbidities, and higher alcohol consumption. Patients who report smoking with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores of 11–15 had a worse functional outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.76 – 0.87).Conclusion: Smokers had a higher risk of unfavorable functional outcomes at 3 months after stroke, and therefore, we continue to strongly advocate the importance of smoking cessation.

Abstract: Abstract The genes encoding the enzymes for metabolising alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) -- exhibit genetic polymorphism and ethnic variations. Although the ALDH2*2 variant allele has been widely accepted as protecting against the development of alcoholism in Asians, the association of the ADH1B*2 variant allele with drinking behaviour remains inconclusive. The goal of this study was to determine whether the polymorphic ADH1B and ALDH2 genes are associated with stroke in male Han Chinese with high alcohol consumption. Sixty-five stroke patients with a history of heavy drinking (HDS) and 83 stroke patients without such a history (NHDS) were recruited for analysis of the ADH1B and ALDH2 genotypes from the stroke registry in the Tri-Service General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, between January 2000 and December 2001. The allelotypes of ADH1B and ALDH2 were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The HDS patients (3 per cent) showed a significantly lower ALDH2*2 allele frequency than NHDS patients (27 per cent) (p < 0.001). After controlling for age, patients with HDS were associated with a significantly higher occurrence of cigarette smoking (p < 0.01) and liver dysfunction (p < 0.01). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that the ALDH2*2 variant allele was an independent variable exhibiting strong protection (odds ratio 0.072; 95 per cent confidence interval 0.02-0.26) against HDS after adjustment for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking status and liver dysfunction. By contrast, allelic variations in ADH1B exerted no significant effect on HDS. The present study indicated that, unlike ALDH2*2, ADH1B*2 appears not to be a significant negative risk factor for high alcohol consumption in male Han Chinese with stroke.

Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic intraoperative uterine artery embolization (UAE) performed immediately after fetal delivery during planned cesarean section or cesarean hysterectomy in patients with placenta accreta spectrum disorder or placenta previa. A systematic search was conducted on Ovid MEDLINE and Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. Studies were selected using the Population/Intervention/Comparison/Outcomes (PICO) strategy. The intraoperative blood loss and the rate of emergent peripartum hysterectomy (EPH) were the primary outcomes, whereas the length of hospital stay and volume of blood transfused were the secondary outcomes. A random-effects model was employed to pool each effect size. The cumulative values of the primary outcomes were calculated using the generic inverse variance method. Eleven retrospective cohort studies and five case series were included, recruiting 421 women who underwent prophylactic intraoperative UAE (UAE group) and 374 women who did not (control group). Compared with the control group, the UAE group had significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.020) during cesarean section or cesarean hysterectomy. Furthermore, the EPH rate was also significantly decreased (p = 0.020; cumulative rate: 19.65%), but not the length of hospital stay (p = 0.850) and volume of pRBC transfused (p = 0.140), after cesarean section in the UAE group. The incidence of major complications was low (3.33%), despite two patients with uterine necrosis. The currently available data provides encouraging evidence that prophylactic intraoperative UAE may contribute to hemorrhage control and fertility preservation in women with abnormal placentation.

Abstract: Hyperosmotic tear stimulates human corneal nerve endings, activates ocular immune response, and elicits dry-eye symptoms. A soft contact lens (SCL) covers the cornea preventing it from experiencing direct tear evaporation and the resulting blink-periodic salinity increases. For the cornea to experience hyperosmolarity due to tear evaporation, salt must transport across the SCL to the post-lens tear film (PoLTF) bathing the cornea. Consequently, limited salt transport across a SCL potentially protects the ocular surface from hyperosmotic tear. In addition, despite lens-wear discomfort sharing common sensations to dry eye, no correlation is available between measured tear hyperosmolarity and SCL-wear discomfort. Lack of documentation is likely because clinical measurements of tear osmolarity during lens wear do not interrogate the tear osmolarity of the PoLTF that actually overlays the cornea. Rather, tear osmolarity is clinically measured in the tear meniscus. For the first time, we mathematically quantify tear osmolarity in the PoLTF and show that it differs significantly from the clinically measured tear-meniscus osmolarity. We show further that aqueous-deficient dry eye and evaporative dry eye both exacerbate the hyperosmolarity of the PoLTF. Nevertheless, depending on lens salt-transport properties (i.e., diffusivity, partition coefficient, and thickness), a SCL can indeed protect against corneal hyperosmolarity by reducing PoLTF salinity to below that of the ocular surface during no-lens wear. Importantly, PoLTF osmolarity for dry-eye patients can be reduced to that of normal eyes with no-lens wear provided that the lens exhibits a low lens-salt diffusivity. Infrequent blinking increases PoLTF osmolarity consistent with lens-wear discomfort. Judicious design of SCL material salt-transport properties can ameliorate corneal hyperosmolarity. Our results confirm the importance of PoLTF osmolarity during SCL wear and indicate a possible relation between PoLTF osmolarity and contact-lens discomfort.

All guidelines recommended vertebral fracture assessment by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This study aimed at evaluation of any associated benefits of screening with DXA in patients who had received vertebroplasty in Taiwan.Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan. We retrospectively compared the data of patients, who were admitted for vertebroplasty, whether they received DXA screening or not. The outcomes of interest were recurrence of spinal fracture and mortality during a follow-up period of 10 years.Results: From this Taiwan national database, the screening rate of osteoporosis in patient who received vertebroplasty was 11.7%. The mean age in the non-DXA screened cohort (n=32,986) was 74.03Â± 12.21 years (71.98% female). In the DXA screened cohort (n=4361), the mean age was 76.43Â± 9.19 years (79.91% female). During the 10-year follow-up period, after matching, non-DXA patients had significantly higher mortality rates than their DXA counterparts, which were 42.37% and 37.73% (p-value < 0.0001), respectively. The re-fracture rates between non-DXA and DXA patients were not significantly different at 17.26% and 16.89% (p-value = 0.1766), respectively.Conclusion: The rate of DXA screening before patients receiving vertebroplasty was extremely low, at 11.7%. Our results showed that DXA screening before vertebroplasty in spinal fractures patients had lower mortality. From this national retrospective cohort study, routine screening of osteoporosis in spinal fracture patients can lead to reduction in mortality.Keywords: osteoporosis, vertebroplasty, DXA, mortality

Abstract: Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is defined as the steady-state pressure within the abdominal cavity. Elevated IAP has been implicated in many medical complications. This article reviews the current state-of-the-art in innovative sensors for the measurement of IAP. A systematic review was conducted on studies on the development and application of IAP sensors. Publications from 2010 to 2021 were identified by performing structured searches in databases, review articles, and major textbooks. Sixteen studies were eligible for the final systematic review. Of the 16 articles that describe the measurement of IAP, there were 5 in vitro studies (31.3%), 7 in vivo studies (43.7%), and 4 human trials (25.0%). In addition, with the advancement of wireless communication technology, an increasing number of wireless sensing systems have been developed. Among the studies in this review, five presented wireless sensing systems (31.3%) to monitor IAP. In this systematic review, we present recent developments in different types of intra-abdominal pressure sensors and discuss their inherent advantages due to their small size, remote monitoring, and multiplexing.

However, an effective therapeutic approach for the condition remains undiscovered. The previously proposed growth factor-based therapy has been inefficient due to its inability to pass through the blood–brain barrier. B355252, a newly developed small molecule, exhibited a potential neuroprotective effect in vivo. However, its exact efficacy in cerebral ischemia remains unclear.Methods: We adopt an endothelin-1 stereotaxic intracranial injection to induced cerebral ischemia in rat. We further conducted 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, immunofluorescent staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and behavioral tests to evaluate the efficacy of B355252 in neuroprotection, anti-inflammation, and behavioral outcome improvements.Results: We identified that B355252 could protect ischemic neurons from neuronal loss by attenuating DNA damage, reducing ROS production and the LDH level, and preventing neuronal apoptosis. Moreover, inflammatory responses in astrocytic and microglial gliosis, as well as IL-1β and TNF-α levels, were ameliorated. Consequently, the behavioral outcomes of ischemic rats in neurologic responses and fore paw function recovery were improved.Discussion: Overall, our study verified the in vivo therapeutic potential of B355252. The study findings further support its application in the development of a therapeutic approach for stroke.Keywords: stroke, NGF, B355252, stroke, DNA damage, inflammation, mNSS, cylinder test

Abstract: Background: End colostomy rates following colorectal resection vary across institutions in high-income settings, being influenced by patient, disease, surgeon and system factors. This study aimed to assess global variation in end colostomy rates after left-sided colorectal resection. Methods: This study comprised an analysis of GlobalSurg-1 and -2 international, prospective, observational cohort studies (2014, 2016), including consecutive adult patients undergoing elective or emergency left-sided colorectal resection within discrete 2-week windows. Countries were grouped into high-, middle- and low-income tertiles according to the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI). Factors associated with colostomy formation versus primary anastomosis were explored using a multilevel, multivariable logistic regression model. Results: In total, 1635 patients from 242 hospitals in 57 countries undergoing left-sided colorectal resection were included: 113 (6.9 per cent) from low-HDI, 254 (15.5 per cent) from middle-HDI and 1268 (77.6 per cent) from high-HDI countries. There was a higher proportion of patients with perforated disease (57.5, 40.9 and 35.4 per cent; P, Medical Research Council, MR/N022114/1; National Institute for Health Research, 16/136/79

Abstract: Objective: Stroke in young adults is uncommon, and the etiologies and risk factors of stroke in young adults differ from those in the older populations. Smoker’s paradox is an unexpected favorable outcome, and age difference was used to explain the association between smoking and the favorable functional outcome. This study aimed to investigate the existence of this phenomenon in young stroke patients.Methods: We analyzed a total of 9,460 young stroke cases registered in the nationwide stroke registry system of Taiwan between 2006 and 2016. Smoking criteria included having a past or current history of smoking more than 1 cigarette per day for more than 6 months. After matching for sex and age, a Cox model was used to compare complications, mortality and outcomes between smokers and non-smokers.Results: Smoking was associated with older age, higher comorbidities, and higher alcohol consumption. Smoking patients with NIHSS scores of 11–15 had a worse functional outcome (adjusted OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.76–0.87), and smoking cessation would substantially reverse those effects.Conclusion: The smoker’s paradox definitely does not exist, and therefore we continue to strongly advocate the importance of smoking cessation.

Abstract: This paper presents a new power allocation method for two-user downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems with imperfect channel estimation. Given channel estimates and the corresponding mean-squared error (MSE) information, capacity lower bounds are used to determine an upper bound of the system outage probability (SOP) based on the transmission rate requirements of both users. Subsequently, a closed-form power allocation solution is derived for the two users such that the SOP upper bound is minimized under a total power constraint. The solution requires only a few numerical operations to calculate the power allocation factor according to the MSE information of channel estimation. Its complexity is lower than existing closed-form or iterative solutions. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves pretty good performance in terms of the SOP upper bound and the bit error rate for different transmission rate requirements.

Abstract: Ketamine severely endangers health and dwelling quality. In Taiwan, one of the common methods of taking ketamine is by smoking ketamine cigarettes. By heating up ketamine cigarettes, it produces an odor that smells similar to burning plastic. There are no effective and convenient methods for immediately detecting and identifying the smell of ketamine cigarettes. Therefore, this research proposed to develop an electronic nose system to identify the gas of ketamine cigarettes. In this study, standard operating procedures were established for collecting ketamine gas and ketamine cigarette gas at constant flow to quantitatively collect those gas samples least affected by environmental factors. After injecting the gas samples, the variation signal of sensor array was noted. By feature extraction and dimensionality reduction algorithms, the complexity of data decreased. The classification results were also analyzed through linear regression and classification algorithms, and the classification accuracy was up to 95.92%.

Abstract: BackgroundCapsular warning syndrome (CWS) is defined as recurrent episodes of transient ischaemic attacks ≥3 times during a short time frame. There is no effective therapy to stop these attacks. We, herein, report our experience of using intravenous tirofiban to treat CWS.MethodsAll patients with CWS in our hospital from January 2013 to September 2017 were reviewed. Patients in tirofiban group (T-group) were treated by intravenous tirofiban at 0.4 μg/kg/min for 30 min followed by 0.1–0.15 µg/kg/min infusion. Other treatments (non-T-group) included thrombolytic, oral antiplatelet agents and anticoagulant. Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), systematic bleeding, new attacks after treatment, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at 24 hours and modified Rankin Scales (mRSs) at 3 months were recorded. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.ResultsOf 23 patients qualified (15 in T-group, 8 in non-T-group), the duration of symptoms ranged from 2 to 100 min before treatments. After treatment, in T-group, four patients (26.7%) had recurrent attacks, and NIHSS scores were 0 in 11 patients (73.3%) at 24 hours. All patients reached a favourable outcome (mRS ≤2 at 3 months. In non-T-group, five patients (62.5%) had new attacks. NIHSS scores were 0 in two patients (25%) at 24 hours. At 3 months, seven patients (87.5%) reached a favourable outcome. Neither ICH nor systematic bleeding or thrombocytopaenia occurred in both groups of patients.ConclusionsIntravenous tirofiban can be a potentially effective and safe therapy to stop early symptomatic fluctuations and shorten the duration of functional deficits in patients with CWS.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Traditional Tai Chi is too complex for most elderly individuals. There have been few reports regarding the development of simplified Tai Chi programs to suit the physical needs of elderly adults. However, these programs were not individualized according to the participants' balance control abilities. OBJECTIVE Purpose of this study is to develop an individualized Tai Chi program and report the feasibility of the program. METHODS Phase 1: Five Tai Chi masters performed the Tai Chi movements on a force platform. Based on the results of center of pressure displacement and the individual's balance abilities, an individualized program was developed.Phase 2: Ten community-dwelling older adults received 24 half-hour-sessions, using the individualized Tai Chi exercise program. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, forward reach, and strength of the knee extensor were determined before and after intervention. RESULTS Participants achieved improved performance on balance control as measured with BBS (p≤0.001), TUG (p = 0.004) and forward reach (p = 0.035) as well as knee extensor strength (p = 0.002) after the program. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary result suggests that the individualized Tai Chi program is potentially effective to improve balance function and knee extensor strength of the elderly.

Abstract: Background/objective: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) in older people may result in psychological impairment, including anxiety and depression. This study investigates the effect of intraarticular hyaluronic acid injection (IAHA) on geriatric patients with OA. Method: A total of 102 geriatric patients with knee OA undergoing IAHA were prospectively enrolled in this study. Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form (IKDC), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain were recorded. All outcomes were measured at baseline before injection and during two, four, and six month follow-ups. Results: IAHA had a significant short-term effect, relieving pain at the two month follow-up, but the effect was weaker at the four month follow-up. Both IKDC and WOMAC scores were significantly improved at the two month follow-up. Viscosupplementation did not improve STAI. GDS exhibited significant deterioration at the four month follow-up. Conclusions: Although IAHA for the treatment of OA provided short-term efficiency, it had no effects on anxiety and increased depression of geriatric people. Health education should be provided with caution before viscosupplementation treatment to manage expectations of the efficacy of treatment for geriatric OA patients.

Abstract: Background: Post-stroke dementia may affect up to one-third of stroke survivors. Acupuncture as a complementary treatment for stroke has been shown to be beneficial for subsequent post-stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the potential effect of acupuncture to protect stroke patients from dementia.Methods: We included 9,547 patients receiving ambulatory or hospital care for stroke and 9.547 non-stroke patients; patients were matched for sex, age, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Each individual was traced for the subsequent development of dementia. Two thousand four hundred and forty-nine stroke patients received acupuncture treatment and 7,098 residue stroke patients without acupuncture treatment served as control groups. This is a 3-year follow-up cohorts study: the incidence and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of post- stroke dementia in the Cox proportional hazard regression.Results: During the 3-year follow-up, 1,403 patients with stroke (14.70%) and 427 patients without stroke (4.47%) developed dementia. The adjusted HRs of development of dementia among stroke patients were 3.64-times (range, 3.27–4.06), and the incidence of dementia was higher in male. Stroke patients receiving acupuncture treatment had a lower probability of dementia than those without acupuncture during the follow-up period, the adjusted HRs was 0.49 (95% CI, 0.42–0.58; p < 0.001).Conclusions: The association between stroke and dementia existed in both sexes, more prominent in male. Patients with stroke receiving acupuncture treatments showed decreased risk of dementia. Care must be taken evaluating these results because this study was limited to lack of information regarding lifestyles, stroke severities, and acupuncture methods that were used in treatments.

Abstract: Background. The orthognathic strategies to treat patients with a concave profile but different tissue conditions remain controversial. The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the outcome predictability of orthognathic surgery in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients and matched controls. Methods. Fifty consecutive CLP and 45 matched non-CLP patients who received whole-piece Le Fort I and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy to correct class III skeletal relations were enrolled. The outcome discrepancies (ODs) from simulations among all groups were evaluated with consideration of the possible influences from planned surgical movements (PSM). Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine threshold values of PSMs that yielded clinically relevant OD. Results. Unilateral CLP (UCLP) patients had comparable postsurgical OD to non-CLP patients in both jaws, whereas bilateral CLP (BCLP) patients had greater deviations from predicted results. Vertical movement of the A − point > 1.33 mm and yaw correction > 1.65 ° in the BCLP patients was associated with clinically relevant maxillary OD. Conclusions. The OGS outcomes of BCLP patients were less predictable than those of the UCLP and noncleft patients. Vertical movements of the A − point > 1.33 mm and yaw correction > 1.65 ° in BCLP patients increased OD to a clinically relevant extent.

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the possible incidence of visual light perceptions (VLPs) during radiation therapy (RT). We analyzed whether VLPs could be affected by differences in the radiation energy, prescription doses, age, sex, or RT locations, and whether all VLPs were caused by radiation. From November 2016 to August 2018, a total of 101 patients who underwent head-and-neck or brain RT were screened. After receiving RT, questionnaires were completed, and the subjects were interviewed. Random forests (RF), a tree-based machine learning algorithm, and logistic regression (LR) analyses were compared by the area under the curve (AUC), and the algorithm that achieved the highest AUC was selected. The dataset sample was based on treatment with non-human units, and a total of 293 treatment fields from 78 patients were analyzed. VLPs were detected only in 122 of the 293 exposure portals (40.16%). The dataset was randomly divided into 80% and 20% as the training set and test set, respectively. In the test set, RF achieved an AUC of 0.888, whereas LR achieved an AUC of 0.773. In this study, the retina fraction dose was the most important continuous variable and had a positive effect on VLP. Age was the most important categorical variable. In conclusion, the visual light perception phenomenon by the human body during RT is induced by radiation rather than being a self-suggested hallucination or induced by phosphenes.

Abstract: ELKS1 controls mast cell degranulation by regulating the transcription of Stxbp2 and Syntaxin 4 via Kdm2b stabilization., ELKS1 is a protein with proposed roles in regulated exocytosis in neurons and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling in cancer cells. However, how these two potential roles come together under physiological settings remain unknown. Since both regulated exocytosis and NF-κB signaling are determinants of mast cell (MC) functions, we generated mice lacking ELKS1 in connective tissue MCs (Elks1f/f Mcpt5-Cre) and found that while ELKS1 is dispensable for NF-κB–mediated cytokine production, it is essential for MC degranulation both in vivo and in vitro. Impaired degranulation was caused by reduced transcription of Syntaxin 4 (STX4) and Syntaxin binding protein 2 (Stxpb2), resulting from a lack of ELKS1-mediated stabilization of lysine-specific demethylase 2B (Kdm2b), which is an essential regulator of STX4 and Stxbp2 transcription. These results suggest a transcriptional role for active-zone proteins like ELKS1 and suggest that they may regulate exocytosis through a novel mechanism involving transcription of key exocytosis proteins.

Abstract: In the present study, anti-inflammatory activity of the methanol extracts of soymilk and soymilk fermented with Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus CCRC 14805 alone or in conjunction with Bificobacterium infantis CCRC 14603 was evaluated. It was found that extracts of soymilk and the prepared fermented soymilk dose-dependently suppress nitric oxide (NO) production of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages, with soymilk showing the highest inhibition ability followed by S. thermophilus-fermented soymilk. Extracts of soymilk and fermented soymilk did not affect the activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The extracts of the fermented soymilk inhibited the protein expression of iNOS in LPS-induced macrophages, but soymilk did not. Moreover, these extracts did not show obvious inhibition on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein expression, while all showed the inhibitory effect on LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) produced by RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Abstract: In the present study, the ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) collected in Taiwan was prepared and assayed for the effects concentration, incubation temperature, pH and cell age on the antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans, a dental cavitycausing oral pathogen. Additionally, cell leakage of Str. mutans in presence of EEP was also examined. It was found EEP exerted bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects against Str. mutans, respectively, at concentrations of 1.875 and 3.75 µg/mL or more. At 37°C, Str. mutans was more sensitive to EEP than at 25°C while most resistant at 4°C. Cells of test organism were most susceptible to EEP at acid pH followed by neutral and alkaline pH. It was also noted that cells of Str. mutans in the stationary phase were more resistant, while cells in the mid-exponential phase were more susceptible to EEP. After exposure to EEP, a marked increase in the 260 nm absorbance for the supernatant of culture, was observed, indicating the release of UV-absorbing materials. Scanning electron micrographs also showed an increase in material with irregular shape on the surface of EEP-treated Str. mutans cells.

Abstract: TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) has been implicated in frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin‐positive inclusions (FTLD‐TDP) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is involved in DNA repair and neuroprotection in numerous neurodegenerative diseases. However, the pathological mechanisms of FTLD‐TDP underlying TDP‐43 proteinopathies are unclear, and the role of HDAC1 is also poorly understood. Here, we found that aberrant cell cycle activity and DNA damage are important pathogenic factors in FTLD‐TDP transgenic (Tg) mice, and we further identified these pathological features in the frontal cortices of patients with FTLD‐TDP. TDP‐43 proteinopathies contributed to pathogenesis by inducing cytosolic mislocalization of HDAC1 and reducing its activity. Pharmacological recovery of HDAC1 activity in FTLD‐TDP Tg mice ameliorated their cognitive and motor impairments, normalized their aberrant cell cycle activity, and attenuated their DNA damage and neuronal loss. Thus, HDAC1 deregulation is involved in the pathogenesis of TDP‐43 proteinopathies, and HDAC1 is a potential target for therapeutic interventions in FTLD‐TDP., TDP‐43 proteinopathies cause pathogenesis through inducing cytosolic mislocalization of HDAC1. Pharmacological recovery of HDAC1 activity in FTLD‐TDP transgenic (Tg) mice improves cognitive and motor functions, also attenuates aberrant cell cycle activity, DNA damage and neuronal death.

Abstract: Heart rate trajectory patterns integrate information regarding multiple heart rate measurements and their changes with time. Different heart rate patterns may exist in one population, and these are associated with different outcomes. Our study investigated the association of adverse outcomes with heart rate trajectory patterns. This was a prospective cohort study based on the Chin-Shan Community Cardiovascular Cohort in Taiwan. A total of 3,015 Chinese community residents aged > 35 years were enrolled in a prospective investigation of cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes from 1990 to 2013.The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcome was a composite of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular accidents. The following trajectory patterns were identified: stable, 61%; decreased, 5%; mildly increased, 32%; and markedly increased, 2%. During follow-up (median, 13.9 years), 557 participants died and 217 experienced secondary outcomes. The adjusted hazard ratios of primary and secondary outcomes for participants with a markedly increased trajectory pattern were 1.80 (95% CI [1.18–2.76]) and 1.45 (95% CI [0.67–3.12]), respectively, compared to those for participants with a stable trajectory pattern. A markedly increased heart rate trajectory pattern may be associated with all-cause mortality risks. Heart rate trajectory patterns demonstrated the utility of repeated heart rate measurements for risk assessment.

Experimental results were evaluated by conducting an impedance modulus analysis and by considering the amounts of aluminum released. The effect of different operating parameters, such as the phosphate concentration, ultrasonic power, chloride concentration, and the number of cycles on the efficiency of phosphate removal was examined. The results indicated that the integrated ultrasonic and chloride addition process effectively enhanced the energy efficiency and lifespan of plates due to the reduction of the electric impedance. The concentration of released aluminum increased from 150 to 440 mg/L with the increase of ultrasound from 0 to 100 W. After three test cycles, the use of the ultrasonic process and chloride addition with EC enhanced the phosphate removal efficiency. The removal efficiency of the EC process decreased to 30%; however, the removal efficiency of the integrated process increased to 90%. Scanning electron microscope images showed that using ultrasound could successfully remove the passivation layer on the electrode to enhance the phosphate removal efficiency. However, excessive ultrasonic intensity would result in a thicker passivation layer and thus decrease the removal efficiency. It suggests that the coupled use of chloride addition and ultrasonication in the EC process effectively reduced the passivation layer, thereby increasing the energy efficiency while decreasing the impedance modulus and enhancing the concentration of aluminum ions.

Abstract: Background The clinical and economic burden of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) is significant and is anticipated to increase as the population ages and pathogens become more resistant. Delafloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic approved in the United States for the treatment of adults with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. Delafloxacin’s shape and charge profile uniquely impact its spectrum of activity and side effect profile. This phase 3 study compared the efficacy and safety of delafloxacin with moxifloxacin for the treatment of CABP. Methods A randomized, double-blind, comparator-controlled, multicenter, global phase 3 study compared the efficacy and safety of delafloxacin 300 mg twice daily or moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily in adults with CABP. The primary end point was early clinical response (ECR), defined as improvement at 96 (±24) hours after the first dose of study drug. Clinical response at test of cure (TOC) and microbiologic response were also assessed. Results In the intent-to-treat analysis population (ITT), ECR rates were 88.9% in the delafloxacin group and 89.0% in the moxifloxacin group. Noninferiority of delafloxacin compared with moxifloxacin was demonstrated. At TOC in the ITT population, the success rates were similar between groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events that were considered at least possibly related to the study drug occurred in 65 subjects (15.2%) in the delafloxacin group and 54 (12.6%) in the moxifloxacin group. Conclusions Intravenous/oral delafloxacin monotherapy is effective and well tolerated in the treatment of adults with CABP, providing coverage for Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and atypical pathogens. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03534622., This Phase-3 study showed IV/oral delafloxacin monotherapy is well tolerated without QT restrictions or major drug interactions and effective in treatment of adults with CABP due to gram positive and negative as well as atypical pathogens.

Abstract: STUDY DESIGN Prospective trial. OBJECTIVE To establish an individualized navigation template for safe and accurate insertion of lower cervical anterior transpedicular screw (ATPS) based on a three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Conventional screw insertion manually under fluoroscopy easily leading to deviation of ATPS screw channel, cervical instrumentation procedures demand the need for a precise technique for screw placement. METHODS Twenty adult cervical spine specimens (10 men and 10 women, with a mean age of 50.29 ± 6.98) were selected for computed tomography pre- and postoperatively. A 3D lower cervical spine model was reconstructed using Mimics software to measure the screw-related parameters and generate a reverse template with optimal screw channel as well as a prototype using 3D printing. Assisted by the navigation template, bilateral ATPS were inserted into the cadavers. RESULTS The mean outer width and height of pedicle were 5.31 ± 1.23 and 6.78 ± 1.10 mm, respectively. The average length, sagittal, and axial angles of the optimal screw channel obtained through the optimal entry point were 36.34 ± 4.39 mm, 40.67° ± 5.10°, and 93.7° ± 7.96°, respectively. The adjustable safe ranges of sagittal and axial angles were 3.89° ± 1.13° and 5.64° ± 0.97°, respectively. The axial and sagittal accuracies of the 200 screws were 99.5% and 97%, respectively. The average deviations of the actual entry point and the preset opening in the X, Y, and Z axes were 0.39 ± 0.43, 0.21 ± 0.41, and 0.29 ± 0.14 mm, respectively (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION An individualized ATPS navigation template was developed using Mimics software and 3D printing prototyping, based on computed tomography, for highly accurate screw insertion.

Abstract: Background There has been no effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who presented to the Emergency Department > 4.5 h without a visible arterial occlusion on the neurovascular imaging studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether intravenous antiplatelet agent tirofiban was safe and potentially effective in AIS patients who had no visible arterial occlusion and was outside of treatment window for Alteplase. The goal of this study was to collect preliminary data to plan a future phase II study. Method Twenty-five patients received intravenous tirofiban therapy. The safety outcomes were assessed by the incidence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), systematic bleeding and mortality. Efficacy outcomes were evaluated with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at day 7 (or discharge) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days. Outcomes for these patients were compared with a historical age-gender-admission-NIHSS matched cohort treated with aspirin and/or clopidogrel. Results The rate of intracerebral hemorrhage, systematic bleedings, and death were not found in both groups. At day 7 or discharge, the neurological function improved significantly in both treatment groups. However, the NIHSS score was lower in tirofiban group compared with the control group (2 vs.3, p = 0.045). At 3 months, more patients in tirofiban group had favorable outcomes (mRS 0–1) compared with control group (84% vs. 52%; adjusted odds ratio: 10.57; 95% CI: 1.54–72.33; p = 0.016). Conclusions Intravenous tirofiban appears to be safe and potentially effective for the ischemic stroke patients with no artery occlusion on neurovascular imaging studies and being out of the window for thrombolytic therapy. A next logic step is to plan for a phase II study.
