Background: Study showed that a lower PVC burden originating from the right ventricle was able to decrease left ventricular function compared to PVC burden originating from the left ventricle (≥10% vs ≥20%). In addition, animal studies have shown differences in the degree of fibrosis due to arrhythmias in the left ventricle compared to the right ventricle. Objective: evaluate the association between location of VOT arrhythmia to intrinsic left ventricular systolic function in patient without structural heart disease Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in 36 ventricular outflow tract arrhythmia patients assessed by V2QRSi40 electrocardiogram criteria with PVC burden ≥4% in National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK) from February 2021 to May 2021. Intrinsic left ventricular systolic function assessed by global longitudinal strain (GLS) with speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between origin of VOT (right VOT vs left VOT) and GLS. Results: Of the 36 subjects, the proportion of female sex was higher than that of men (72.2% versus 27.8%), with the mean GLS score in women being higher than in men (–20,5±4,3 vs. -17,7±3,3, p=0.072). Patients with non-sustained VT episodes had a lower mean GLS score than those without (-15,5±3,1 versus -20,6±4,0, p<0.05). The location of the ventricular outflow arrhythmias was not associated with GLS values either by bivariate analysis or multivariate analysis [p=0,843; coefficient B (CI95%) = -0,036 (-3,441 - 2,832)]. Conclusion: Location of VOT arrhythmia was not associated with intrinsic left ventricular systolic function in patient without structural heart disease

Rationale, aims, and objectives Decision-making for patients with comorbidity is neither an individual nor an only once matter, as it takes place repeatedly within in a network of care providers. It is true that in an acute phase specialists occupy a central and predominant position, but later care providers increasingly rely on each other to share the needs and concerns of their patients. The question this study tries to answer is what fosters or hinders contact between healthcare providers in the various phases of their patients' hospitalisation. Method Practical experiences of caregivers from different disciplines are examined using both narrative theories and aspects of complexity thinking. The focus is on the factors that influence the manner in which caregivers establish and develop their relationships. Results In the curative phase, the primary physician communicates top-down decisions and instructions to healthcare providers under his authority. The involvement of a multiplicity of disciplines triggers an entanglement of dichotomous voices. Eventually centralized coordination patterns give way to a less dominant coordination. Conclusions Patients with comorbidity require close cooperation between an increasing number of healthcare providers. This cooperation can only be enhanced by recognising the complex of relationships between these caregivers. Research into these practices can benefit greatly by using methods, which relate methods of complex and narrative-thinkers.

Background: Blood damage induced by mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices has become the biggest shackles in clinical. Non-physiological shear stress in MCS devices is considered to be an important trigger. Although researchers have been conducting in vitro studies, the major factor of blood damage is still unclear. Methods: In this study, an optimized capillary tube blood-shearing platform with custom designed parts was constructed to investigate the influence of two flow-dependent parameters (shear stress and exposure time) on the shear-induced damage of red blood cells and von Willebrand factor (VWF). Blood samples under different high shear stress and instantaneous exposure time were obtained by changing the flow rate and the length of capillary tube. Plasma free hemoglobin assay and immunoblotting of VWF were then performed on the sheared blood samples. Results: The quantitative correlation between the hemolysis index and the two flow-dependent parameters was found following the power law mathematical model under high shear stress and instantaneous exposure time. The degradation of high molecular weight VWF was not obviously under high shear stress factor and did not satisfy the power law mathematical model. Besides, the degradation of high molecular weight VWF was found as the result of the accumulation over exposure time under non-physiological shear stress. Conclusions: Comparing to shear stress, exposure time has a greater effect on both red blood cell and VWF damage. To improve hemocompatibility of MCS devices, the slow even stagnant blood flow areas in these devices should be avoid as much as possible.

Aims Immunosuppressant non-adherence is a prevalent problem leading to many adverse outcomes in Renal transplant recipients. eHealth has the potential to improve medication compliance, but evidence in kidney transplantation remains unclear. This review aims to explore the effects of eHealth interventions on improving medication compliance in Kidney transplantation. Methods A systematic search was conducted of the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Web of Science Core Collection. The search included studies published up to July 22, 2021. Two authors selected relevant studies and extracted data independently. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Cochrane collaborative bias risk tool. To estimate the effect size, a meta-analysis of the studies was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration software Review Manager 5.3 PRISMA guidelines were followed. Results Nine studies involving 777 patients were included. Compared with control group, eHealth interventions improved medication adherence measured by electronic monitoring (RR=1.46, 95%CI, 1.11 to 1.90, p=0.006) and decreased rejection (RR=0.38; 95%CI, 0.15 to 0.97, p=0.04). There was no difference in medication compliance measured by BAASIS (RR=1.03, 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.21, p=0.72), Tacrolimus level (MD=0.16, 95%CI, -0.21 to 0.52, p=0.39), coefficient of variation of tacrolimus level (MD=-0.01, 95%CI, -0.05 to 0.02, p=0.41), and kidney function (MD=-0.44, 95% CI, -8.32 to 7.43, p=0.91) between the two groups. Conclusions eHealth interventions can improve medication adherence in kidney transplantation in the short time. However more high-quality intervention studies need performing to determine whether eHealth improves long-term adherence and clinically relevant outcomes.

Background: Long COVID are the uninterpretable symptoms of COVID-19. However, quality of life and other factors among COVID-19 survivors remain less clear. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate impact of COVID-19 pandemic on quality of life and effecting factors among adults with long COVID. Design and Setting: This cross-sectional study included 440 individuals applying at family health centers for any reason. Methods: The survey consisted of two parts: the first related to socio-demographic information; the second including “COVID-19 Quality of Life Scale”and the “Perception Health Scale”. Results: Of the participants, 40.9% were male, 59.1% were female as well as 33.2% had at least one long COVID symptoms. The median COV19-QoLand Perception of Health Scale scores were 3.0 and 40.0 respectively. Among the prolonged COVID symptoms, fatigue/tiredness was shown with 53.2%. Other common symptoms were muscle pain (27.1%), headache/dizziness (24.1%), difficulty thinking or concentrating (20.9%), difficulty in breathing and heart palpitation (20.0%). The COV19-QoL median score significantly differed by education level, existing chronic conditions, COVID-19 treatment type, number of experienced long COVID symptoms and continuation of the symptoms p<0.05. There was significant correlation between COV19-QoL and age, time since first infected and perceived health score (p<0.05). Conclusion: Aging, low education, existing chronic conditions, hospitalization, number of long symptoms, continuation of symptoms, and perception of health were risky factors for impact of the pandemic on quality of life. Specific rehabilitation services and programmes seems to be urgent need in overcoming this issue and to improve health. Key Words (MeSH Terms): Long COVID; COVID-19; quality of life; adults; family health

Primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy is a rare, locally aggressive, chemotherapy-refractory pediatric sarcoma with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Surgical resection is the gold standard of treatment, but a significant number of cases are initially unresectable due to tumor location. For these individuals, traditional first-line chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin, and cyclophosphamide has yielded no benefit. Alternatively, therapy with doxorubicin and ifosphamide-based regimens have shown success in several cases. We present a case of a pediatric patient with unresectable PMMTI successfully cured after receiving a combination of ifosphamide and doxorubicin followed by surgery and adjunctive proton beam radiation.

The second wave of COVID 19, far outnumbered the first, in cases and deaths. We report outcome of pediatric cancer patients with COVID-19 during the second wave, from a tertiary center in India. Out of 41 patients who tested positive; 51% were asymptomatic, 36% had mild symptoms, 12 required admissions in ward and 4 in intensive care. Mechanical ventilation, systemic steroids, Remdesivir and IVIG were required in those admitted to intensive care unit. Out of 4 deaths (9.7%), 3 occurred in adolescent age and 2 had superimposed bacterial/viral infections. Other contributors to mortality were: cachexia, airway obstruction, disease relapse.

Antihistamines are widely used in allergic diseases such as urticaria and allergic rhinitis, mainly by reverse excited histamine and anti-allergic effects. Antihistamines are generally safe, but there may be some adverse reactions like cardiotoxicity, central inhibition, anticholinergic effects, etc. And there are also individual differences in clinical practice. The concept of individualized medicine has been deeply rooted in people's minds since it was put forward. In recent decades, pharmacogenomics has been developing rapidly, which provides new ideas for the occurrence of individual medication. Gene polymorphism in the metabolic enzyme, transports, and target receptors have been shown to affect the application of antihistamines. Besides, recent evidence suggests that genetic polymorphisms influence urticaria susceptibility and antihistamine therapy. Here, we summarize current reports of this area, aim to contribute to the future research and clinical guidance of antihistamine personalized medicine.

The outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) has been transferred exponentially. There are many articles that have found the inhibitory effect of plant extracts or plant compounds on the coronavirus family. In this study, we want to use systematic review and meta-analysis to answer the question of which herbal compound can be more effective against the coronavirus. The present study is based on the guidelines for conducting meta-analyzes. An extensive search was conducted in the electronic database, and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, articles were selected and data screening was performed. Quality control of articles was performed. Data analysis was carried out in STATA software. The results showed that alkaloid compounds had a good effect in controlling the coronavirus and reducing viral titer. Trypthantrin, Sambucus extract, S. cusia extract, Boceprevir and Indigole B, dioica agglutinin urtica had a good effect on reducing the virus titer but their selectivity index has not been reported and it is recommended to determine for these compounds. Also among the compounds that had the greatest effect on virus inhibition, including Saikosaponins B2, SaikosaponinsD, SaikosaponinsA and Phillyrin, had an acceptable selectivity index greater than 10. Andrographolide showed the highest selectivity index on SARS-COV2, while virus titration and virus inhibition were not reported. The small number of studies that used alkaloid compounds was one of the limitations and it is suggested to investigate the effect of more alkaloid compounds against the coronavirus for verifying its effect.

This paper is devoted to the stability of a viscoelastic problem with Balakrishn\^{a}n-Taylor damping and time delay involving variable-exponent nonlinearity. Under some assumptions on the relaxation function, we establish the general decay estimate for the energy via suitable Lyapunov functionals. The problem considered is novel and meaningful because the presence of the flutter panel equation and the spillover problem with memory and variable exponents time delay control. Our result generalizes and improves previous conclusion in the literature.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common devastating pulmonary complication in preterm infants. Oxygen supplementation is a lifesaving therapeutic measure used for premature infants with pulmonary insufficiency. However, oxygen toxicity is a significant trigger for BPD, and oxidative stress-induced inflammatory responses, in turn, worsens the oxidative toxicity resulting in lung injury and arresting of lung development. Glycyrrhiza radix is commonly used in the medicine and food industries. 18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (18β-GA), a primary active ingredient of Glycyrrhiza radix, has a powerful anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to determine whether 18β-GA has protective effects on neonatal rats with hyperoxia exposure. Newborn Sprague-Dawley rats were kept in either 21% (normoxia) or 80% O2 (hyperoxia) continuously from postnatal day (PN) 1 to 14. 18β-GA was injected intragastrically at 50 or 100 mg/kg body weight once a day from PN 1 to 14. We examined the body weights and alveolar development, and measured ROS level and the markers of pulmonary inflammation. Mature-IL-1β and NF-κB pathway proteins, and the NLRP3 inflammasome, were assessed; concurrently, caspase-1 activity was measured. Our results indicated that hyperoxia resulted in alveolar simplification and decreased bodyweight of neonatal rats. Hyperoxia exposure increased ROS level and pulmonary inflammation, and activated NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome. 18β-GA treatment decreased ROS level, inhibited the activation of NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome, decreased pulmonary inflammation, improved alveolar development, and increased the bodyweight of neonatal rats with hyperoxia exposure. Our study demonstrates that 18β-GA protects neonatal rats with hyperoxia exposure through inhibiting ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome.

Background: Families of children with cancer must obtain and understand knowledge and skills to care for their child’s oral drug treatment at home during a period of intense hospitalizations and while adjusting to the fact that their child has cancer. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of parents handling oral anticancer drugs in a home setting. Methods: Parents of children with cancer were recruited from a pediatric oncology ward in Sweden to participate in an interview. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and subjected to qualitative content analysis. Results: We found the following categories and subcategories: parents’ views on the provided information - lack of, too little or contradictory information, and parents’ preferences for information delivery; safety over time; correct drug dose; and drug administration. As time passed, most parents adapted to their child’s illness, felt safer, and found it easier to take in and process any given information. Parents preferred information in different formats (written, movie clips and orally) and in their mother tongue. Many parents were aware of the importance of giving an accurate dose to their child and described the process of drug administration as overwhelming. Conclusions: Parents need to be provided with accurate, timely, nonconflicting and repeated information – in different forms and in their mother tongue – on how to handle oral anticancer drugs at home.

Aims: During the COVID-19 outbreak, international students in the U.S. were informed that they would be deported to their home countries if enrolled in fully online programs. Although this proclamation was soon altered to permit students to continue learning online without fear of being deported, it spread a wave of stress and anxiety among international students all over the U.S. We aim to capture the emotional challenges and hardships faced by international students due to the changes in U.S. visa regulations during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey using previously validated questionnaire tools (PHQ-9 and GAD-7), and we received 165 complete responses from international students at University of Florida (UF). The collected data was quantitatively analyzed through ANOVA, Independent Sample t-Test, and Binary Logistic Regression. Results: Our findings provided insights into one main research question: “How did the changes in student visa regulations during the COVID-19 outbreak affect the anxiety and depression levels among international students at UF?” A total of 18.8% (n= 31) of our study sample had a depression score of (15 and above) on the PHQ-9 scale, which is interpreted as moderately severe to severe depressive status. A similar proportion (20.6%; n= 34) scored (15 and above) on the GAD-7 scale, and was symptomatically diagnosed as having severe anxiety. There was also a statistically significant difference in the means depression and anxiety scores based on gender, where males showed lower scores compared to any other demographic group. Conclusion: Our findings show that international students were affected psychologically due to changes in U.S. visa regulations during the COVID-19 outbreak. The findings of this study addressed the importance of taking serious measures when emotionally impactful political issues arise in order to prevent the development of mental illnesses among international students at institutions of higher education.

Introduction The aim of this study was to assess the impact of lymph node dissection (LND) on survival for patients with intermediate risk (IR) and high intermediate risk (HIR) endometrial cancer (EC). Methods Clinicopathologic features and survival data of 1294 consecutive patients who underwent primary surgical treatment for EC between 2003 and 2018 were were retrieved from the database of Hacettepe University Hospital. This study compared the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) among IR and HIR EC between patients with LND and no LND. Results The study population included 141 (55 %) IR, and 115 (45 %) HIR EC patients. LND was not performed in 33 (23.4%), and 31 (27%) patients in IR, and HIR EC patients, respectively. The lymph node involvement was 10.3% (n=20) among all patients. During the median follow-up of 41 months (range, 12–222), 12 (6.2 %) patients with LND, and 5 (7.8 %) patients without LND had disease recurrence (p=0.77). LND did not improve OS and DFS in IR and HIR EC patients (p=0.92, p=0.80). And the lymph node count was not associated with OS and DFS for all subsets of patients with EC grouped by recurrence risks. Discussion Without illuminating the morbidity of LND, there were no difference observed in OS and DFS between IR and HIR EC patients with LND-induced complications and no LND. With this regard, the use of sentinel lymph node procedure might be better for minimizing the possible post-operative morbidities in this selected patient groups.

Syncope is a self-limiting transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) caused by cerebral hypo-perfusion, which can be classified into orthostatic, cardiac, or vasovagal etiologies on the basis of tilt table test. We conducted a single-center retrospective chart review study of patients above 16 years of age who underwent HUTT testing from January 2010 to March 2020. Charts were reviewed for basic demographic data and indication and outcome of test. Correlation of age, gender, and presenting symptoms with results of HUTT test were analyzed. Our study included 496 patients with 72.2% males and mean age of 51.1 years. Vasovagal syncope was found to be the most common etiology (79.8%, n=158), followed by orthostatic syncope (11.6%, n=23), autonomic syncope (6.1%, n=12) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (2.5%, n=5). Vasovagal syncope was further divided into three subtypes, with most common being mixed type (82.3%,n=130), followed by pure vasodepressor (14.6%, n=23) and cardio-inhibitory(3.2%,n=5). The two most common prodromal symptoms were loss of consciousness (45.8%, n=227) with or without preceding dizziness followed by dizziness alone (34.5%, n=171). Both of these symptoms had a statistical significance when compared to the diagnostic yield of HUTT testing (p value <0.05). No significant correlation (p value >0.05) was found between the presenting symptoms, age, gender and outcomes on HUTT testing. We concluded that the most common etiology of syncope is vasovagal, predominantly the mixed type. LOC and dizziness were found to be statistically significant in relation with the yield HUTT testing.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia is a progressive hereditary cardiomyopathy with presenting symptoms ranging from palpitations to sudden cardiac death. We describe two cases with differing presenting symptomology found to have this rare, potentially fatal condition.

The involvement of Medical Technology (MedTech) corporations in the provision of healthcare is in the spotlight following the introduction of post-Brexit MedTech legislation in the UK. The relationship between surgeons and device sales representatives is especially relevant in cardiac surgery: the use of grafts, stents, prostheses, and other devices is an integral component of most procedures. Many argue that the involvement of device representatives in cardiac surgical cases is valuable – they are often experts on their product, able to contribute their expertise in challenging cases, and help ensure the procedure runs smoothly. Yet, the potential for MedTech corporations to influence surgeons’ clinical decision-making introduces a conflict-of-interest and calls into question what the ‘best practice’ for sales reps should be. The influence of MedTech corporations over policymaking bodies in the UK also represents a major issue for transparency and is equally deserving of evaluation.

Aims: Three licensed human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines (Cervarix, Gardasil, and Gardasil 9) have been effectively used to prevent infection with oncogenic HPV types, however, many adverse events (AEs) have also been reported following HPV vaccination. In order to evaluate the safety of the three licensed HPV vaccines, we investigated their AE profiles based on the data from Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Methods: The AE data for Cervarix, Gardasil, and Gardasil 9 was retrieved from VAERS database respectively. The combinatorial biomedical statistical methods were used to identify the statistically significant AEs. The Gamma-Poisson Shrinker (GPS) with gender/age stratification models were developed to ascertain the serious adverse events (SAEs). The AE profiles were classified and represented by the Ontology of Adverse Events (OAE) for further analysis. Results: As of July 31, 2020, VAERS recorded 3,112, 31,606, and 6,872 AE case reports for Cervarix, Gardasil, and Gardasil 9, respectively. Our Frequentist statistical methods identified 135 Cervarix-enriched AEs, 55 Gardasil-enriched AEs, and 17 Gardasil 9-enriched AEs. Based on the OAE hierarchical classification, these AEs were clustered in the AEs that related to behavioral and neurological conditions, immune system, nervous system, and reproductive system. Combined with GPS modeling, 46 statistically significant SAEs were founded to be associated with at least one of the three vaccines. Conclusion: The results in this study cannot be used to ascertain the cause and effect relationships between the HPV vaccination and specific AEs. The hypotheses on the relationships deserver further epidemiological investigations as well as clinical trial studies.

In the monthly reported by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control virus variants, the increasing tendency in the number of positively loaded residues was observed. The formal charge of 34 SARS-CoV-2 lineages since September 2020 to June 2021 was analyzed. The point mutations or small insertions were considered in the crucial for viral infection regions of the spike glycoprotein (S). The most frequently observed were positive mutations, especially D614G and E484K, located in the region of S1/S2 junction, and in the receptor binding domain (RBD), respectively.

To realize the separation of phenanthrene from anthracene residue efficiently, a reaction–separation coupling technology was adopt by converting fluorene to its valuable derivative, and then phenanthrene was isolated according their solubility difference. The effect of solvents, feeding sequence and the material ratios on the synthesis of 9,9-bis(hydroxymethyl)fluorene by one-step hydroxymethylation of fluorene was investigated firstly, and then the reaction–separation process conducted with a mixture of phenanthrene and fluorene at a mass ratio of 4:1. The result showed that adding fluorene into alkaline formaldehyde solution can improve the selectivity of 9,9-bis(hydroxymethyl)fluorene, and with the mixture of DMSO and ethanol as solvent, the highest yield of 84.24% is obtained by using anhydrous potassium carbonate as base catalyst. The reaction applied for the mixture of phenanthrene and fluorene, the purity of 9,9-bis(hydroxymethyl)fluorene of 87.26% was obtained with a yield of 73.87%, and the yield of phenanthrene is 98.96% with a purity of 97.18%.

With the nitrochlorobenzene binary eutectic system and naphthalene-benzathiophene solid solution system, the purification process of tower crystallizer under continuous flow was investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the p-nitrochlorobenzene and naphthalene were purified to over 99.99%. Moreover, the theory of the purification process is analyzed. Based on the fact that the rate of purification flow at the cross section of the column was equal to the rate of removal of impurities at the bottom of the column, a mathematical model of continuous multistage countercurrent fractional crystallization process was established. Comparing the calculated data with the experimental data, the results demonstrate that the theoretical model can well describe the mass concentration distribution in the tower crystallizer. Appropriate reflux ratio and stirring are necessary to achieve an ideal equilibrium state at a certain crystal bed height. It provides basis for the industrial application of tower crystallizer.

The red eared slider ( Trachemys scripta elegans) undergoes numerous changes to its physiological and metabolic processes to survive without oxygen. During anoxic conditions, its metabolic rate drops drastically to minimise energy requirements. The alterations in central metabolic pathways are often accomplished by the regulation of key enzymes. The regulation of one such enzyme, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase; EC 3.1.3.11), was characterized in the present study during anoxia in liver. FBPase is a crucial enzyme of gluconeogenesis. FBPase was purified from liver tissue in both control and anoxic conditions and subsequently assayed to determine the kinetic parameters of the enzyme. Studies revealed the relative degree of posttranslational modifications in FBPase from control and anoxic turtles. Further, this study demonstrated a significant decrease in the maximal activity in anoxic FBPase and decreased sensitivity to its substrate fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) when compared to the control. Immunoblotting demonstrated increased threonine phosphorylation (~1.4 fold) in the anoxic FBPase. Taken together these results suggest that phosphorylation of liver FBPase is an important step in suppressing FBPase activity ultimately leading to inhibition of gluconeogenesis in the liver of the red eared slider during anaerobic conditions.

Pilocytic astrocytoma has wide spectrum of age groups, clinical picture, anatomical location, and progression patterns. Rare unique unresectable locations in children worth analysis. Nine-year old child presented with severe hemiparesis, speech difficulties, and dystonia due to giant mesial temporal pilocytic astrocytoma, mixed solid and cystic. The rapidly progressive cyst was controlled by repeated aspiration through a stereotactically inserted Ommaya along the cyst axis. One-year later, radiosurgery was delivered for the solid part. Complete clinical cure of the patients and 86% and 74% volume reduction were achieved in the cystic and solid part, respectively, even without aspiration.
