8-82.9%. Overall, the mean bioavailability was 74.1% (standard deviation, 14.1; coefficient of variation, 19.1%). Individual bioavailability across all studies ranged from 42% to 100%.
Gabapentin PK following gabapentin enacarbil administration was consistent across studies, with low interindividual variability in bioavailability. Gabapentin enacarbil may provide more consistent and predictable exposure to gabapentin than oral gabapentin formulations.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to the etiopathogenesis of postoperative delirium (POD), which severely affects the prognosis of elderly patients undergoing surgery. The methylation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a new and incompletely described phenomenon that regulates the structure and function of mitochondria, is associated with ageing. However, the relationship between mtDNA methylation and POD has not been established.
To explore the potential roles of mitochondrial epigenetic regulation in POD.
A randomised animal study.
Eighty-eight 6-month-old and one hundred seventy-six 18-month-old male C57BL/6N mice.
POD was induced by abdominal surgery under 1.4% isoflurane for 2 h. Behavioural tests were performed at 24 h before surgery and at 6, 9 and 24 h after surgery.
5-methylcytosine (5-mC) at five CpG sites of the displacement loop (D-loop) and at 60 CpG sites of coding gene loci in the mitochondrial genome after surgery of the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, amygdala and anterior cingulate m tower hospital.

Trunk muscle strength has been proven to be associated with post-stroke walking performance. As a type of trunk training, sling exercise therapy (SET) has been widely used to improve the trunk function in stroke patients. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the efficacy of SET on post-stroke walking impairment. Seven databases were systematically searched for eligible studies from their inception to 1 August 2021. Review Manager 5.3 software was used for this meta-analysis. The overall quality of included studies was evaluated by the physiotherapy evidence database scale. Twenty-five randomized controlled trials involving 1504 patients were included (23 in China and two in South Korea). In summary, SET more effectively improved the walking ability of post-stroke patients than conventional physical therapy or trunk training. The pooled analysis demonstrated that SET had positive effects on the 10 m maximum walking speed, integrated electromyography value of rectus femoris, biceps femoris and gastrocnemius, functional ambulation category, timed up and go test, and step length. At least in East Asia, our findings support SET to manage the post-stroke walking impairment.Malnutrition is relatively common in stroke survivors and it also affects weight loss and muscle strength. Various nutritional assessment tools have been used to monitor changes in nutritional status. Among such tools, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is a convenient and cost-effective index calculated from serum albumin level, total peripheral lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol level. This study investigated the prognostic role of malnutrition, as assessed by the CONUT scoring system. We hypothesized that malnutrition negatively affects outcomes as expressed by Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor or Berg Balance Scale (BBS) change in stroke patients. This was a retrospective cohort study involving 117 individuals including first-time subacute stroke inpatients from March 2017 to February 2020. All participants were evaluated with BBS and FIM. We used multiple linear regression analysis with backward stepwise selection to examine the association between CONUT and changes during rehabilitation. After adjusting for independent predictors, we found the CONUT score to be associated with FIM motor (B = -1.848 ± 5.811, P less then 0.001) and BBS change (B = -2.035 ± 0.424, P less then 0.001). The present study showed that the malnutritional status calculated by the CONUT score at admission might help to predict the functional outcomes of stroke patients. The CONUT score is a comprehensive and feasible marker that could provide information for the nutritional management of stroke patients to significantly improve their clinical outcomes.
Bilateral oophorectomy permanently reduces endogenous estrogen exposure and may increase cardiovascular mortality in women. This study aimed to investigate the association between bilateral oophorectomy and cardiovascular mortality and whether this association was conditional on hysterectomy or on the use of hormone therapy at the time of study entry.
A prospective cohort study of 25,338 female nurses aged ≥ 45 years within the Danish Nurse Cohort. Nurses were enrolled in 1993 or 1999 and followed until death, emigration, or end of follow-up on December 31, 2018, whichever came first. Exposure was bilateral oophorectomy. Outcome was cardiovascular mortality. Associations were estimated using Poisson regression models with log person-years as the offset.
A total of 2,040 (8.1%) participants underwent bilateral oophorectomy. During a mean follow-up of 21.2 (SD 5.6) years, 772 (3.0%) nurses died from cardiovascular disease. In adjusted analyses, a 31% higher rate of cardiovascular mortality was observed after bilateral oophorectomy (aMRR 1.31; 95% CI, 0.88-1.96) compared with women who retained their ovaries. No evidence of effect modification by use of hormone therapy at baseline or by hysterectomy on the association between bilateral oophorectomy and cardiovascular mortality was observed.
Bilateral oophorectomy may be associated with cardiovascular mortality in women, but the estimate was not statistically significant. Additionally, we were unable to make firm conclusions regarding the possible modifying role of hormone therapy and hysterectomy on this potential association. Additional studies are needed to replicate this work.

To assess how bone morphology and mineralization changes with age, in women by digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR). DXR has potential as a screening tool for osteoporosis, as it can evaluate bone mineralization similarly to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
The nondominant hand was analyzed with DXR in 13,285 women ages 40-74 years undergoing mammography. 1,556 women attended two consecutive examinations with 18 to 24 months interval. Changes in bone parameters were calculated and compared in 5-year age groups. Regression analysis and ANOVA tests were performed.
Univariate linear regression showed no significant difference in age or bone size between the groups with single or consecutive measurements. In the group with consecutive measurements, the average inner diameter (DXR-ID) of the metacarpals significantly increased with age from 0.38 cm in the 40-45 years age span to 0.47 cm in the 65+ age group (P < 0.001), whereas DXR bone mineral density (DXR-BMD) decreased from 0.59 g/cm2 to 0.50 g/cm2 in t/A832.
To investigate differences in health behaviors, nutritional status, and the likelihood of having cardiovascular diseases and its risk factors according to the presence of an eating companion in older women.
Using 2016 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VII-1 data, 590 menopausal women aged ≥65 years were analyzed in this cross-sectional study. Participants who ate more than two meals a day alone were assigned to an eating-alone (EA) group and those who ate more than two meals a day with others were assigned to an eating-with-others (EO) group. Complex-samples general linear analysis, t tests, and logistic regression were used for the analysis of the data.
Awareness of nutrition labels (P = 0.012), using of nutrition labels (P = 0.014), and impact of nutrition labels (P = 0.016) were lower in the EA group than in the EO group. The intake of energy, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, sodium, and potassium was lower in the EA group than in the EO group (P < 0.05). The likelihood of having angina was 2.58 times higher in the EA group than in the EO group (95% CI, 1.20-5.55).
Older women who ate alone had poorer nutritional knowledge and intake. In addition, eating alone in older women was strongly associated with the prevalence of angina. Thus, it is necessary to consider nutrition education and cardiovascular disease screening for older women who mainly eat alone.

Approximately 25% of ovarian cancer (OC) cases are related to an inherited predisposition. Genetic mutations for the oncosuppressor genes BRCA1 and 2 have the best-known linkage to a higher incidence of OC and breast cancer, in approximately 70% to 80% of hereditary OC cases. To provide the first comprehensive clinical description of screen-detected (SD) OCs during a 6-years surveillance of a cohort of young BRCA carriers and carriers who refuse risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy.
A prospective cohort study in a university hospital describing 191 women with BRCA1 and 2 mutations adhering continuously to our surveillance between 2015 and 2020, including a 6-monthly evaluation of cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) with concomitant transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) performed by a dedicated specialist. Main outcomes were tumor's laterality, CA 125 at diagnosis, TVUS and computed tomography (CT) findings.
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy was performed in 58/191 (30.4%) of mutation carriers during the study period ensure early diagnosis of OC in BRCA mutation carriers adhering to a follow-up program.
To provide a contemporary rationale for bladder preservation as a treatment strategy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Although the standard of care for this important and serious clinical condition has been radical cystectomy augmented with neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy, it is associated with substantial morbidity and quality of life (QoL) implications. This article explores the bladder sparing alternatives to radical cystectomy and urinary diversion to assist Urologists, Medical Oncologists, and Palliative Care providers in their informed decision making with patients.
Bladder sparing strategies such as partial cystectomy and trimodality therapy offer long-term cancer outcomes comparable to radical cystectomy in carefully selected patients. Moreover, the toxicity profile in patients, having improved over time, is acceptable, including a low risk of salvage cystectomy.
Bladder preservation therapy offers an alternative to radical cystectomy. In some patients, it can be done with curative intent and in others it can assist with symptom palliation.
