NYVEPRIA, a pegfilgrastim (a long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF]) biosimilar, was recently recommended for marketing authorization in Europe for decreasing the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs. The present study aimed to evaluate the financial impact of introducing a new pegfilgrastim biosimilar from a French healthcare system perspective.

An Excel-based budget impact model was developed to estimate the financial impact by introducing a new pegfilgrastim biosimilar (NYVEPRIA) to France over a 5-year time horizon. Comparators included existing long-acting and short-acting G-CSFs. The burden of FN was obtained from existing literature. Costs (2021 Euros) included drug acquisition and administration, estimated based on drug dosage in both clinical trial and real-world settings. Scenario analyses were conducted to examine the robustness of key model assumptions.

In a total French population of 67.19 million, 79,873 patients were estimated to be treated with G-CSFs annually. The annual number of patients to be treated with NYVEPRIA was estimated to be 1593, 3195, 3674, 3782, and 4052 in years 1 to 5, respectively. Using real-world data, NYVEPRIA resulted in total annual cost savings of €8,620, €868,498, €868,498, €814,102, and €958,952 over years 1 to 5, respectively, leading to a cumulative 5-year cost savings of €3,518,669. Using data from clinical trials, NYVEPRIA resulted in total annual cost savings of €14,366, €1,447,496, €1,447,496, €1,356,836, and €1,598,253 over years 1 to 5, respectively, leading to a cumulative 5-year cost savings of €5,864,448.

The introduction of a new pegfilgrastim biosimilar (NYVEPRIA) is potentially associated with substantial cost savings for the French healthcare system.

The genetic basis of fertilization failure after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is largely unknown and the aim of this study is to investigate the genetic causes of fertilization failure in primary infertile women.

Six affected women diagnosed with infertility and fertilization failure were recruited. The genetically pathogenic factor of their fertilization failures were investigated by clinical exome sequencing. Epacadostat One hundred healthy controls were verified by Sanger sequencing.

Novel compound heterozygous mutations c.625G > T and c.759-2A > G of
in one affected individual were revealed by clinical exome sequencing. Trios analysis of the mutations represented an autosomal recessive pattern. The nonsense mutation c.625G > T (p.Glu209*) indicated the truncation of the WEE2 protein and c.759-2A > G was predicted to affect the splicing.

The novel variants extend the spectrum of
mutations, which promotes the prognostic value of testing for
mutations in infertile women with fertilization failure.

The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a commonly used vascular access for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients; exercise interventions may boost its maturation and help in its maintenance. A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials on the effects of upper limb exercise programs on the AVF was conducted.

The primary outcomes were draining vein diameter (DVD) and draining vein blood flow rate (DVBFR), and secondary outcomes were handgrip strength (HGS) and brachial artery flow rate (BAFR). Quality of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE).

Four studies met the inclusion criteria. When compared to usual care groups, the experimental groups did not improve DVD (mean difference [MD] 0.23, confidence interval [CI] -0.20-0.65). There were significant differences in DVBFR (mL/min) according to the fixed-effect model (MD 141.13, CI 36.84-245.42). HGS (kg) was significantly different between groups (MD 2.95, CI 0.55-5.35), but BAFR (mL/min) was not (MD 91.65, CI -94.72-278.01).

Although exercise programs did not improve DVD and BAFR, they increased muscle strength and DVBFR. Therefore, experimental exercise programs should be emphasized for AVF maturation and maintenance.Research Registry number reviewregistry924.

Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is one common cause of end-stage kidney disease. There is no optimal treatment for PMN patients with sub-nephrotic proteinuria currently. Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside (TWG) is a widely used traditional medicine in China and has been used to treat nephropathy for decades.

To investigate the effect of TWG combined with angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on the treatment of PMN with sub-nephrotic proteinuria.

Biopsy-proven sub-nephrotic PMN patients with normal kidney function and treated with TWG combined with ARB or ARB alone were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was remission rate (complete or partial remission), and the secondary outcomes included proteinuria, serum albumin levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), relapse rate, and adverse events.

The clinical trial included 55 patients. The overall remission rates for the TWG + ARB and ARB groups after 9 months of treatment were 74.3% and 35%, respectively (
 = 0.004). Moreover, the complete remission (CR) rate for the TWG + ARB and ARB groups in the 9th month were 45.7% and 15%, respectively (
 = 0.044). Treatment with TWG + ARB was the independent predictor of complete remission of proteinuria (
 = 0.048). Besides, the remission rate was higher in the TWG + ARB group than in the ARB group among patients who were positive for anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibodies (65.4% vs. 21.4%,
 = 0.02).

These data demonstrate that TWG may be a promising treatment for PMN patients with sub-nephrotic proteinuria, whether anti-PLA2R antibody is positive or negative.

This study evaluated whether listening with an eye closure (EC) strategy improves speech recognition in noise (SRN) under different visual conditions. Previous research suggests EC may enhance activation of cortical systems involved in listening and attention. Study hypotheses were that EC listening leads to better SRN than eyes open listening, that listening in darkness leads to better SRN than in light, and EC listening leads to more improved SRN in light compared to darkness.

SRN with the Cantonese Hearing in Noise Test (CHINT) under four conditions was assessed (1) eyes open with lights on, (2) EC with lights on, (3) eyes open in darkened room, and (4) EC in darkened room. ANOVA determined potential differences among conditions and effect sizes were calculated.

Fifty-six young adults (age range 18-35years) with bilaterally normal hearing.

Significant effects for EC and presence/absence of an external visual stimulus on SRN were found.
analysis found a statistically significant difference between eyes open and closed in light, with a large effect size, indicating EC resulted in the greatest improvement in SRN when in the presence of an external visual stimulus. However, differences compared with known CHINT inter-list variability lacked clinical importance.

EC did significantly improve SRN and is a potential strategy for challenging listening situations when feasible, although no changes are needed for CHINT norms or testing procedures in relation to EC status.

We presented the cytogenetic characteristics and clinical features of the largest single-center cohort of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients with DMs. A total of 2576 AML patients and 1642 MDS patients were investigated, and 30 patients (AML = 19; MDS = 11) who had DMs were followed up. DMs were more common in primary AML (94.7%) and MDS (90.9%). Monosomal karyotypes (MK) were also the main cytogenetic characteristics, like complex karyotypes (CK). AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) and MDS-refractory anemia with excess blasts (MDS-RAEB) was common in this cohort. We conclude that DMs-positive AML and DMs-positive MDS are associated with older age, complex karyotypes, monosomal karyotypes, TP53 deletion and TP53 mutations. DMs are a type of chromothripsis, which can be observed by the karyotype analysis. MYC and KMT2A were the most commonly amplified genes in DMs. Most patients with DMs presented an extremely poor prognosis.
The study had three main objectives. (1) To investigate the perceived impact of power-assist devices (PADs) on manual wheelchair (MWC) user mobility. (2) To compare perceptions about different types of PADs. (3) To identify preferred features and design characteristics of PADs.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with community-dwelling MWC users aged 31years and older, with at least 2.5years of experience using an MWC independently (
 = 16). Data were thematically analysed using an inductive approach.

Two main themes related to participants' perceptions about the effects of PAD use were identified (1) "Expanding my world", which illustrated the perceived benefits of using PADs (e.g., gaining a sense of autonomy and access to new environments, maintaining physical health) and (2) "Falling short", which described challenges with PADs (e.g., safety, reliability and portability issues). Participants also identified strengths and limitations of different types of PADs that were mainly related to specear-mounted attachments, powered wheels) offer different types of assistance that can benefit users with various capabilities.
Participants' perceptions about PADs varied across different types of devices and in different contexts. However, PADs were generally perceived as enhancing the capabilities of MWCs. Our findings provide insight into the factors that can be considered when selecting a PAD and can inform the development of future PADs that are better equipped to overcome challenges that MWC users frequently encounter.Implications for RehabilitationPower-assist devices (PADs) for manual wheelchairs (MWCs) have the potential to improve the mobility, community participation and well-being of users.Some of the existing PADs have safety and reliability issues that affect their performance and limit their use by MWC users.The three types of PADs (front-mounted attachments, rear-mounted attachments, powered wheels) offer different types of assistance that can benefit users with various capabilities.
