35% to 41.55% and 0.06-37.58% in the gastric and intestinal phases, respectively. Regression modeling revealed that the bioaccessibilities of the PTEs could mostly be explained by total concentrations in dust particles. Average daily intake (ADI) calculations revealed that the intake of PTEs did not exceed the tolerable daily intake (TDI) values and as such was not considered a significant risk to workers. Additionally, the hazard quotients (HQ) and carcinogenic risk (CR) values were lower than the acceptable level. This study can provide further risk assessment and management of PTE pollution in occupational environments.
Hearing loss is a relatively newly reported symptom of novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). Cochlear implant is an effective therapeutic method for patients with severe to profound hearing loss.

We describe two cochlear implanted children with the sole presenting symptom of a sudden speech perception problem. They not suspected to have COVID-19 until they showed respiratory symptoms on the first week of admission.

The current report indicates the importance of COVID-19 screening in hearing impaired patients (including cochlear implanted recipients) presented with sudden or gradual deterioration of speech intelligibility during the pandemic.

To determine the need for and predictors of nasogastric tube feeding (NGTF) use and duration after transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).

This is a retrospective cohort study. For 95 OPSCC patients undergoing TORS with or without concurrent unilateral or bilateral neck dissections (ND), we evaluated NGTF use and duration, along with demographic, clinical, histopathologic, and treatment risk factors.

23.2% (22/95) of patients received NGTF. Univariate analysis found that NGTF was significantly more likely in larger tumor specimens (mean 2.32cm vs. 1.84cm; p=0.043) and after concurrent bilateral (46.7%) compared to unilateral (17.4%) ND (p=0.043). Multivariable analysis also found increased tumor size (p=0.035) and concurrent bilateral ND (p=0.04) to be significant risk factors for NGTF. The following were not statistically significantly associated with NGTF use sex, age, smoking history, HPV status, base of tongue (BOT) resection (20%) vs. radical tonsillectomy (25.9%), pT2 (27.0%) vs. pT1 (20.4%) vs pT0 (16.7%), BOT with (28.6%) vs. without epiglottis resection (22.2%), and surgery for additional margins the same day (27.3%) (all p>0.1). Patients who underwent NGTF had a mean duration of 18days (2-96, SD 20.7days) with 12 (55.6%) having over 2weeks of use. No significant predictors of longer duration of NGTF were identified.

A majority of patients undergoing TORS do not need NGTF. When NGTF is needed, the duration of use is usually longer than 14days. Larger tumor size and concurrent bilateral ND are risk factors for NGTF.

But from the last 2 decades, this moiety has been drawn great attention of medicinal chemists due to its significant biological activities. Synthetic modification of 8-hydroxyquinoline is under exploration on large scale to develop more potent target-based broad spectrum drug molecules for the treatment of several life-threatening diseases such as anti-cancer, HIV, neurodegenerative disorders, etc. Metal chelation properties of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives also make these potent drug candidates for the treatment of various diseases. This review comprises 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives reported in the literature in last five years (2016-2020) and we anticipate that it will assist medicinal chemists in the synthesis of novel and pharmacologically potent agents for various therapeutic targets, mainly anti-proliferative, anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-viral as well as for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.Involuntary psychiatric inpatient care presents a unique ethical challenge not least because the dignity of a person whose liberty and autonomy are restricted is inherently at risk. Understanding patients' experience of voluntary and involuntary care is an important part of ensuring that dignity is upheld as a key value. This study aimed to provide the first thematic synthesis of the existing literature on patient experience of dignity in voluntary and involuntary inpatient psychiatric care. PubMed (United States National Library of Medicine), PsycInfo (American Psychological Association), the Cochrane Library and bibliographies of relevant articles were searched for peer-reviewed, English-language studies from the start date of the databases through May 2020. Systematic searches identified 202 original papers. Consensus criteria were used to determine study inclusion through abstract and manuscript review. Eighteen articles were initially identified as suitable and nine met criteria for the final analysis. T and service reform.
We report the results of this phase I study to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety of veliparib, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel induction chemotherapy (IC) for locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

In a 3+3 cohort design, patients with stage IVA-B human papillomavirus-negative HNSCC received 2 cycles of carboplatin (AUC 6, day 1), paclitaxel (100mg/m
, days 1, 8, 15) and veliparib (days 1-7) every 21days followed by standard curative-intent chemoradiotherapy. Primary endpoint MTD and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) as determined by the first IC cycle.

Twenty patients enrolled. Two withdrew before treatment; 18 patients were analyzed. Median age was 63years. Primary disease sites included hypopharynx (n=5), larynx (n=5), oral cavity (n=4), oropharynx (n=3), and nasal cavity (n=1). Through all of IC, the most common grade 3+adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (33%), thrombocytopenia (33%), anemia (11%), and white blood cell decrease (11%). One patient experienced a hematologic DLT at 350mg BID. The RP2D for veliparib combined with carboplatin/paclitaxel is 350mg BID. With 40.9month median follow-up across dose levels for all patients, the 24-month overall and progression free survival was 77.8% (95% CI 60.8-99.6%) and 66.7% (95% CI 48.1-92.4%), respectively. Medians have not been reached.

Addition of veliparib to carboplatin and paclitaxel IC was well tolerated in patients with advanced HNSCC. Hematologic toxicities were the most common AEs.

To characterize drug tolerability in pediatric patients with an abrupt-onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) meeting criteria for pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS).

We reviewed charts of 188 consecutive patients with PANS seen in the PANS clinic, collecting starting, side effect, and tolerated doses, as well as side effect profile for each antidepressant and antipsychotic trial.

Of 188 included patients 57% had trials of antidepressants and/or antipsychotics. Patients prescribed psychotropics were older at PANS onset (mean 9.5 vs 7.1 years, p<0.01) and had had a longer delay before presenting to clinic (median 1.4 vs 0.5 years, p<0.01). Antidepressant indications (n=146) were OCD (48%), anxiety (44%), and depression (32%). Antipsychotic indications (n=119) were aggression (34%), psychotic symptoms (28%), and OCD (24%). Side effects requiring medication change occurred in 54% of patients in 38% of antidepressant trials and 49% of antipsychotic trials. Antidepressants' mo start with significantly lower doses than they might use in other disorders.Deep brain stimulation (DBS) delivered to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) of rats induces anti-fear and anxiolytic-like behaviours, while reducing principal cell firing in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). In parallel, the endocannabinoid system, particularly in the vmPFC and BLA, has emerged as a target for the amelioration of fear and stress-related behaviours. We tested whether DBS-related improvements in fear and anxiety-type behaviour are mediated by endocannabinoid signalling. Akt inhibitor First, we examined type-1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptor and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) expression in the vmPFC and BLA and found reduced CB1 expression in both loci in rats treated with DBS. Next, we conducted pharmacological experiments to test whether the inverse CB1 agonist AM251 could mitigate the behavioural effects of stimulation. Chronic vmPFC DBS was delivered to rats following conditioning and extinction. Animals were then tested for extinction recall and anxiety-type behaviour following the systemic administration of AM251 or vehicle. We found that DBS reduced freezing and induced anxiolytic-type effects in defensive burying and novelty supressed feeding paradigms. These responses were not countered by CB1 antagonism, suggesting that other mechanisms may be involved in the anti-fear and anxiolytic effects of DBS.The retention behavior of a series of acidic drugs, namely ketoprofen (KET), naproxen (NAP), diclofenac (DIC), and ibuprofen (IBU), on the heat-resisting ZORBAX 300SB-C18 column, was studied thermodynamically using high-temperature liquid chromatography (HTLC). A perfect correlation of the compounds' lipophilicity and the calculated thermodynamic indicators evidenced its contribution to the retention behavior. Besides, the steric fitting has a subsidiary effect on IBU retention. Isocratic HTLC separation of the four compounds was achieved using an aqueous mobile phase containing 30% acetonitrile-0.2% acetic acid-0.2% triethylamine at 60 °C. This method has been utilized to monitor the adsorption efficiency of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for the removal of the four NSAIDs from water. Different variables affecting the remediation process have been optimized such as the time of contact, pH, ionic strength, temperature, and the mass of MWCNTs. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the adsorption were investigated. The adsorption was evidenced to take place via pseudo-second-order kinetics and the intraparticle diffusion is the rate-controlling step. The thermodynamic investigation showed that the adsorption process is exothermic and enthalpy-driven, and the adsorption is more extensive at a lower temperature. The MWCNTs showed excellent adsorption efficiency of about 76.4 to 97.6% at the optimum conditions. The obtained results are promising and encouraging for the full-scale application of MWCNTs for remediation of NSAIDs-related water pollution. The green analytical chemistry metric "AGREE" and the analytical eco-scale score tool confirmed that the developed protocol is greener and more favorable to the environment and user than most of the reported literature.
