Relapse rates in subjects with an alcohol use disorder who have undergone alcohol detoxification are high, and risk factors vary according to the studied population and the context in which withdrawal occurred. Subjects being treated in psychiatric settings require increased monitoring at the moment of detoxification and during follow-up. It is thus important to identify specific risk factors for relapse in such patients. The objective of this study was to determine factors associated with maintenance of abstinence 2 months after alcohol withdrawal (M2) and to characterize factors associated with later relapses 6 months after withdrawal (M6) among those who were abstainers at M2.

We conducted an ancillary study of a specific psychiatric cohort of subjects with an alcohol use disorder who were followed after withdrawal, by analyzing clinical and biological data collected at M2 and M6.

The specific factors predictive of future relapse were age, intensity of craving, number of standard glasses consumed, ps withdrawal. SR-717 manufacturer In caring for patients after alcohol detoxification, priority should be given to factors that have been shown to enhance the beneficial effects of abstinence, such as mood enhancement.
This study aimed to assess the subjective and objective cystoscopy skills of gynecology residents before and after implementation of a comprehensive simulation curriculum.

Residents in an obstetrics/gynecology program at a single academic institution participated in a 6-week cystoscopy simulation course. Residents attended an initial orientation and didactic presentation, and then weekly 20- to 30-minute training sessions using a water balloon model and a virtual reality simulator. Pretesting and posttesting were performed, including (1) subjective self-assessments, (2) a written quiz, and (3) objective structured assessment of technical skills. Paired t test was used to assess the differences in residents' objective assessment scores before and after simulation training.

A total of 16 residents were recruited. link2 Residents reported significant subjective improvements in comfort, confidence, and proficiency in performing cystoscopy after completing the curriculum. Their overall objective assessment improvels. Although universal cystoscopy at the time of hysterectomy for benign indications remains controversial, cystoscopy simulation should remain an important part of resident training.
Craniopharyngioma is a relatively common congenital intracranial tumour for children. But only few available studies focused on the endocrine evaluation before diagnosis and post-operative endocrine evaluations of children with craniopharyngioma.

This study aims to aid in the early diagnosis of craniopharyngioma (CP) and follow-up post-operative children suffered from craniopharyngioma.

Craniopharyngioma patients, as the CP group (n = 50), and healthy children, as the control group (n = 30), the symptoms and pituitary hormone levels were reviewed and investigated.

The pre-operative levels of peak of GH, IGF-1, FT4, ACTH, COR and PRL of CP patients were significantly lower than those of the control group (all the P ≤ 0.001). Levels of pituitary-hormones after surgery were significantly lower than both those before surgery and those of the control group (all the P ≤ 0.001). HGH treatment could significantly improve the growth velocity of post-operative children (3.8 ± 1.5 cm/year vs 13.0 ± 3.4 cm/year for males, P ≤ 0.001; 4.0 ± 1.3 cm/year vs 12.7 ± 1.8 cm/year for females, P ≤ 0.001).

Children presenting with endocrine disturbance symptoms combined with pituitary hormone deficits should be assessed by MRI to exclude craniopharyngioma earlier. Also, long-term follow-up study was very essential to craniopharyngioma survivors.

The adoption of a 'family-centered-care' philosophy is essential for the care process and its negotiation. A better understanding of nurses' perception of factors that affect the process of negotiation could allow us to better address future interventions and to improve FCC. The purpose of our study was to investigate pediatric nurses' perception of factors that affect the process of negotiation of care with Stem Cell Transplantation pediatric patients and their parents.

A qualitative research design with in-depth interviews was chosen. Sixteen interviews (16 nurses) were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Two researchers conducted independently a thematic analysis of the verbatim transcripts of the interviews.

Four themes emerged from the data as factors that affect the process of negotiation (a) communication, (b) personal factors (c) specificity, and (d) organization.

These themes represent interesting points for future improvement interventions. Negotiation in the Stem Cell Transplant setting would deserve further research, with special focus on children' and parents' perception of factors affecting this important aspect. Furthermore, in the future, negotiation guidelines could be validated and implemented effectively and an already validated tool could be used to document the negotiation process in the Stem Cell Transplant setting.

Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 is the only probiotic recommended for treatment of colicky infants, but its mechanism of action is not clear. The study aim was to examine urinary metabolomic fingerprint of colicky breastfed infants before and after 1 month of orally administered Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 or placebo.

This randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial was carried out with a well-documented probiotic. link3 Thirty-two infants were enrolled, 16 in the probiotic group and 16 in the placebo group. Urine samples were collected from each subject before starting supplementation and at the end of the study period. Metabolomic profiles were obtained using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry instrument. Subsequently, to compare groups before and after probiotic supplementation, univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were performed.

In the L. reuteri treated group all metabolites for all class of nutrients (sugars, amino acids, carboxylic acids) resulted more abundant after the study period. The comparison with a control group (placebo treated), confirmed this effect on urines.

The metabolomic analysis of urine samples from infants treated with L. reuteri DSM 17938 allowed to detect some interesting features related to the effect of this treatment on urinary metabolome. To validate the results, a test on a larger cohort is required.

Wheezing is a common clinical manifestation in children with pneumonia. However, the risk factors associated with the development of wheezing pneumonia and its clinical features are not fully characterized, especially in children with severe pneumonia.

We retrospectively recruited 1434 pediatric patients diagnosed with severe pneumonia between April 2012 and September 2019 in Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital. The medical records regarding demographic information, clinical manifestations, radiographic/laboratory findings, and complications were collected. Based on the presence or absence of wheezing symptoms and signs, subjects were divided into wheezing cohort (n=684) and non-wheezing cohort (n=750), and their clinical data were compared. Multivariate cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors of wheezing.

Demographic features including gender, weigh, onset season, birth weight, full-term birth or not, history of pneumonia were significantly associated with the dren, which has specific risk factors and differ from non-wheezing pneumonia in terms of clinical features and etiologic pathogens.
Therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PEG-IFN+RBV) for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) remains the only option available for children in many Eurasian and European countries. Our aim was to evaluate the influence of host and viral factors on response to IFN-based therapy to optimize it for those in whom directly acting antivirals (DAA) are currently unavailable.

Seventeen vertically infected, treatment naive children (10 male and 7 female) aged 5-16 years with CHC underwent a course of PEG-IFN+RBV. The end point was sustained virologic response (SVR). Host and virus factors were divided into pre- and on-treatment predictors of response to therapy.

Eleven patients obtained SVR (64%), 4 were non-responders (23%), and 2 were relapsers (12%). Significant relationship was found between HCV RNA elimination and following variables virus genotype and early virologic response (EVR) (P<0.037, P<0.029 respectively). Higher eradication rate was observed in patients infected with genotype 3 HCV (100% vs. 65% with genotype 1 or 4), and in those with undetectable HCV RNA by week 12 (88% vs. 66% with viremia). EVR was associated with SVR (83% vs. 0% in nonresponders; P<0.004). C allele of IL28B rs12979860 was a predictor of EVR (P<0.043). The SVR rates among CC, CT, and TT carriers were as follows 75%, 67%, and 33%.

Detection of favorable HCV and IL28B genotype prior to commencement of PEG-IFN+RBV and continuing it in patients with EVR is of major importance for those in whom DAA are still unavailable.

Obesity is a condition that increases the risk of developing several health problems, resulting in high health care costs worldwide. Therefore, it is important to investigate several avenues for the control of this condition. This study aimed to identify a dermatoglyphical condition that distinguishes obesity individuals from those of appropriate weight.

The sample comprised 2,172 children and teenagers between the ages of 10 and 19 years, female and male, from public and private schools of the municipality of Joaçaba, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

In a comparison of qualitative variables, i.e., patterns, significant differences were observed between groups, including a higher frequency of ulnar loops (LU) on the index and middle fingers (MET2 and MET3) in the appropriate weight group. In the obesity group, a greater frequency of whorls (W) on fingers MET2 and MET3 was observed in males. In females, there were statistically significant correlations between the presence of radial loops (LR) on MET3 in the appropriate weight group and arches (A) in the obesity group.
