Notes

Review from the relationship of commonly used clinical exams along with clinical activity, kidney effort and treating systemic small-vessel vasculitis using the presence of ANCA antibodies.
We also discussed the possible mechanisms of flavonoids in modulating the cardioprotective effects as such information would provide invaluable insight on future therapeutic application of flavonoids.
This study used two waves of data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) to investigate the association between social participation and depressive symptoms in carer-employees (CEs) and non-carer-employees (NCEs).

Adopting Pearlin et al.'s stress model, multivariate linear regression was used to examine the relationships among carer role, social participation, and depressive symptoms in Canadian employees using the first two waves of CLSA data, while controlling for possible confounders.

Higher levels of social participation were found to be associated with lower depressive symptoms in both waves. Social participation was found to moderate depressive symptoms for CEs when compared with NCEs in Wave 2 but not in Wave 1.

The present study highlights the importance of social participation in reducing CEs' depressive symptoms. The findings provide support for innovative policy and intervention efforts to encourage and enhance social participation at work via carer-friendly workplace policies for CEs across Canada.

To explore the attitudes and practices of clinical haematologists towards promoting physical activity (PA) and exercise for patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey, clinical haematologists reported on the perceived benefits and acceptability of PA and exercise and frequency, confidence and barriers to providing exercise advice.

Clinical haematologists (n=34; 68% response rate), who cumulatively treated ~340 patients with MM each week, completed the survey. Almost all (97%) agreed that PA was important, with benefits for quality of life, activities of daily living, mental health and fatigue. Whilst 88% discussed PA at least occasionally with their patients, approximately two-thirds were not confident advising specific exercises (68%) or identifying PA resources (62%). Despite this, 44% never referred patients to exercise professionals, with 18% only doing so if the patient asked. Over half did not recommend exercise when patients had spine fractures or were physicd hence ensure access to optimal care, thereby improving patient outcomes.The present study investigates the effects of enterocin Ent M and durancin Ent ED26E/7 applied separately and in combination on the intestinal microbiota, caecal enzymatic activity, and fermentaion of rabbits. Eighty rabbits (M91 meatline, aged 5 weeks, both sexes) were divided into groups E (Ent M; 50 µL/animal/day), D (Ent ED26E/7; 50 µL/animal/day), E + D (Ent M + Ent ED26E/7), and control (C). The additives were administered in drinking water for 21 days. Antimicrobial activity of Ent M and Ent ED26E/7 on coliforms (E, E + D P  less then  0.001) and pseudomonads (D P  less then  0.05) in feces was noted, compared to C. Ent M and Ent ED26E/7 application stimulated caecal enzymatic activity in rabbits. Pectinolytic (E vs. D, E + D P  less then  0.01), inulolytic (E vs. E + D P  less then  0.01; E vs. C P  less then  0.05), and amylolytic (E vs. selleck kinase inhibitor D, E + D. P  less then  0.001; E vs. C P  less then  0.01) activities were influenced by Ent M, while cellulolytic (D vs. E + D P  less then  0.01) and inulolytic (D vs. E + D, C P  less then  0.01) activities by Ent ED26E/7 treatment. The cellulolytic and pectinolytic acitivities changed with time. Treatment × time interaction was detected for cellulose and xylan degradation. During Ent M and Ent ED26E/7 treatment, increased ammonia, lactic, butyric and iso-valeric acid, and lower acetic, propionic, iso-butyric, valeric, and caproic acid concentrations were noted. It can be concluded that Ent M and Ent ED26E/7 application can improve rabbit health due to reduced spoilage microbiota and enhanced caecal enzymatic activity.
In 2017, the International Pituitary Pathology Club proposed to rename pituitary adenoma as pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) but since no consensus on this new terminology was obtained the Pituitary Society decided to host on this topic an international multidisciplinary virtual workshop, Pituitary Neoplasm Nomenclature (PANOMEN), to which several Societies participated with the designation of their representatives in the expert panel. Main conclusion of the meeting was that there was not yet a case for adopting the PitNET nomenclature and main recommendation was that the term adenoma is retained.

Aim of this Editorial is to comment the outcome of the recently published document of the meeting.

Ideally, only the combination of pathological, neuroradiological, and clinical data can define the degree of agressiveness/invasion of a pituitary adenoma and effectively guide treament. This may be classically obtained only with a close multisciplinary collaboration into a PTCOE. It is proposed that improved definition of "invasive" and "aggressive" neoplasms may represent the most clinically effective development in the clinico-neuroradiological-pathological denomination and classification of pituitary adenomas.

In LBD, α-synuclein oligomers exhibit a neuron-specific cytoplasmic distribution. Highly active neurons and neurons with a high Ca2+ burden are prone to damage in LBD. The neuronal vulnerability may be determined by transneuronal axonal transmission of the pathological processes; however, this hypothesis seems inconsistent with pathological findings that neurons anatomically connected to LBD-vulnerable neurons, such as neurons in the ventral tegmentum, are spared in LBD. This review focuses on and discusses the crucial roles played by α-synuclein oligomers and Ca2+ dyshomeostasis in early intraneural pathophysiology in LBD-vulnerable neurons. A challenging view is proposed on the synergy between retrograde transport of α-synuclein and vesicular Ca release, whereby neuronal vulnerability is propagated backward along repeatedly activated signaling pathway.
