The diagnosis of Yersinia enterocolitica (Ye) enteritis is not easy because detection from stool culture is more difficult for Ye than for other bacterial enteritides. The establishment of characteristic ultrasonographic findings for Ye enteritis would help improve the detection rate of Ye enteritis along with performance of several cold cultures. This would facilitate appropriate selection of antibiotics based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing and contribute to a more accurate understanding of local public health. This study aimed to retrospectively compare ultrasonographic findings and clinical features between children with Ye enteritis and other bacterial enteritides.

We identified patients treated for Ye enteritis (Ye group; n=27) or other bacterial enteritides (Other enteritis group; n=29) between 2014 and 2018. Ultrasonographic findings (including mean maximum diameter and mean major-minor axis ratio of ileocecal lymph nodes, wall thickness of the terminal ileum, and presence of a pericecal hyperechoic region), clinical symptoms, and laboratory findings at first visit were compared between groups.

No difference in mean maximum diameter of ileocecal lymph nodes was seen between groups. However, mean major-minor axis ratio of ileocecal lymph nodes was lower in the Ye group than in the Other enteritis group (p<0.001). Presence of a pericecal hyperechoic region was more frequent in the Ye group than in the Other enteritis group (p<0.001). The combined presence of a mean ileocecal lymph node major-minor axis ratio <1.51 and a pericecal hyperechoic region offered 100% sensitivity.

Characteristic ultrasonographic findings identified in this study may improve ultrasonographic differentiation of Y. enterocolitica enteritis from other bacterial enteritides.

Childhood obesity places a major burden on global public health. We aimed to identify and characterize potential factors, both individually and jointly, in association with overweight and obesity in Chinese preschool-aged children.

We cross-sectionally recruited 9501 preschool-aged children from 30 kindergartens in Beijing and Tangshan. Overweight and obesity are defined according to the World Health Organization (WHO), International Obesity Task Force (IOTF), and China criteria.

After multivariable adjustment, eating speed, sleep duration, birthweight, and paternal body mass index (BMI) were consistently and significantly associated with childhood overweight and obesity under three growth criteria at a significance level of 5%. Additional fast food intake frequency, maternal BMI, gestational weight gain (GWG) and maternal pre-pregnancy BMI were significant factors for overweight (WHO criteria) and obesity (both IOTF and China criteria). Importantly, there were significant interactions between parental obesity and eating speed for childhood obesity. Finally, for practical reasons, risk nomogram models were constructed for childhood overweight and obesity based on significant factors under each criterion, with good prediction accuracy.

Our findings indicated a synergistic association of lifestyle, fetal and neonatal, and family-related factors with the risk of experiencing overweight and obesity among preschool-aged children.

Uterine fibroids constitute a significant health problem in the United States, affecting upward of 11 million people.

Characterize the literature regarding the incidence of amenorrhea and reductions in abnormal uterine bleeding and fibroid size and to report on clinically relevant safety outcomes of oral medications that may be used to manage symptomatic uterine fibroids to assist in choice of therapeutic options.

A literature search was conducted through December 31, 2021, using Embase, MEDLINE, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts databases. Primary literature reporting on safety or efficacy data of any oral medication for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids was included. Relevant study characteristics, outcomes, and safety data were extracted. Data extraction was performed in duplicate with any discordant data reconciled by the entire investigative team.

A total of 41 studies met inclusion criteria-28 randomized control trials (RCTs), 11 prospective observational studies, 1 phase-1 d oral treatment options for the management of uterine fibroids.
Given higher quality of evidence, confirmed therapeutic efficacy, and a milder adverse effect profile, the contemporary gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonists (elagolix, relugolix, linzagolix) and vilaprisan represent preferred oral treatment options for the management of uterine fibroids.
Understanding types and frequency of medication taking discrepancies could help design pharmacist interventions to improve adherence, outcomes, and prescribing.

This study aimed to assess concordance between participants' descriptions of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) medication taking behaviors and prescription instructions.

Continued analysis of previously collected data. Dispensing data from 35 community pharmacies identified participants at the age of ≥ 40 years, with ≥ 1 COPD maintenance medication in the past year and self-reported COPD. Participants completed a survey of demographics, corticosteroid/antibiotic drug use, and symptom scores. Participants listed each medication and described medication taking behavior. COPD severity was classified by Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) ABCD categories from exacerbation history and symptoms. Aggregate proportion days covered (PDC) for any 1 maintenance medicine was calculated using 12-month dispensing data. Disation taking as prescribed.
Central sensitization symptoms and pain-related fear avoidance are two common problems in breast cancer survivors. Non-pharmacologic interventions such as therapeutic exercise and patient education can be effective in this population.

This study aimed to (1) analyze the benefits of a therapeutic exercise and educational program on central sensitization symptoms and pain-related fear avoidance in breast cancer survivors, and (2) explore the association between pain-related fear avoidance and central sensitization symptoms.

A single group pre-post intervention study was conducted.

Patients were recruited from the service of Medical Oncology of the University Clinical Hospital Virgen de la Victoria, in Málaga (Spain). The intervention consisted of a therapeutic exercise and educational program that lasted 12 weeks, twice a week, for 1 hour. Two instruments were used the Spanish version of the Central Sensitization Inventory and the Spanish Fear Avoidance Components Scale.

Sleep-disordered breathing in childhood is associated with significant adverse outcomes in multiple domains of functioning. This review summarizes the evidence of well-described ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic disparities in pediatric sleep-disordered breathing, from its prevalence to its treatment-related outcomes. Research on potential socio-ecological contributors to these disparities is also reviewed. Critical future research directions include the development of interventions that address the modifiable social and environmental determinants of these health disparities.The advent of CFTR modulators, a genomic specific medication, revolutionized the treatment of CF for many patients. However, given that these therapeutics were only developed for specific CFTR mutations, not all people with CF have access to such disease-modifying drugs. Racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely to have CFTR mutations that are approved for CFTR modulators. This exclusion has the potential to widen existing health disparities.In recent years, studies on the molecular typing of colorectal cancer have matured, and the V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway has been shown to be an important effector molecule of this pathway and regulates the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. Clinical observations indicate that colorectal cancer patients harboring the BRAF V600E mutation have a worse prognosis than BRAF wild type patients. Several resistance mechanisms have been identified that have led to the development of different treatment strategies, which have shown encouraging activity in early clinical trials. Therefore, a reasonable combination of targeted therapies is expected to further enhance the efficacy of selective BRAF inhibitors. Moreover, some CRC patients with high microsatellite instability or a mismatch repair deficiency seem to be susceptible to checkpoint inhibitors with objective and sustained clinical responses, providing new opportunities for patients with advanced disease. This article primarily explores 3 aspects of the treatment strategies for advanced BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer; chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
COVID-19 disrupted blood center operations starting March 2020 and continues to affect donor presentation and blood availability today. The industry mobilized significant resources to collect COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) to treat COVID-19 patients. At the same time, blood centers continued to collect platelets, plasma, and red blood cells (RBCs) to meet the needs of non-COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this study was to quantify how automation was used to fine-tune supply and demand and increase donor engagement during the first year of the pandemic.

This was a single-center retrospective study of blood collection and donor presentation at a mid-sized US blood center. Data was evaluated from January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. Parameters evaluated included donor presentation, platelets per procedure, concurrent RBC and plasma collections per procedure, operatorcompliance, total donor appointment count, and donor frequency.

With the cancelation of mobile blood drives, fixed sites increased total apheresis procedures by 37% and increased turns per bed by 46% whereas less products were collected per donor. By collecting only what was needed, platelet expiration rate decreased from 6.8% (pre-pandemic) to less than 4%. CDK inhibitor Donor engagement as measured by donor frequency increased from 1.6 in January 2020 to 1.8 in March 2021.

Using technological advances such as automated blood collection and information systems, the blood center improved donor engagement and avoided collecting a surplus of any one type of blood product over the course of the pandemic.
