At baseline, eleven patients (31.4%) showed late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on CMR (CMR+) and 26 (74.3%) patients showed myocardial FDG-uptake (PET+). At re-evaluation, nine patients (25.7%) showed LGE (CMR+), while 16 patients (45.7%) showed myocardial FDG-uptake (PET+). When considering both imaging modalities together, 82.6% of patients with CMR-/PET+ at baseline were reclassified as possible or unlikely CS, while 36.4% of patients with CMR+ at baseline were reclassified as probable CS. Three patients with initial CMR-/PET+ showed LGE at re-evaluation.

Repeated CMR and FDG PET/CT may be useful in establishing or rejecting CS diagnosis, when initial diagnosis is uncertain. However, clinical relevance has to be further determined.

The incidence of gastric tube cancer is increasing because of improved survival rates in patients with esophageal cancer treated by esophagectomy. Total resection of the gastric tube is expected to be highly curative, but it is associated with a higher risk of severe postoperative complications. Herein we report a case of early gastric tube cancer that was successfully treated by distal gastric tube resection with preservation of the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA).

An 82-year-old man was diagnosed as having gastric tube cancer, B-12-O, Type 0-IIc, T1b, N0, M0, cStage IA (Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma). Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a Type 0-IIc lesion measuring 30mm in length in the lower part of the gastric tube, and histopathological examination of biopsy specimens revealed the features of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The primary lesion could not be identified by computed tomography, and there was no obvious lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis. Considering tor.
The use of awake prone position concomitant to non-invasive mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19 has shown to improve gas exchange, whereas its effect on the work of breathing remain unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of awake prone position during helmet continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation on inspiratory effort, gas exchange and comfort of breathing.

Forty consecutive patients presenting with ARDS due to COVID-19 were prospectively enrolled. Gas exchange, esophageal pressure swing (ΔPes), dynamic transpulmonary pressure (dTPP), modified pressure time product (mPTP), work of breathing (WOB) and comfort of breathing, were recorded on supine position and after 3h on prone position.

The median applied PEEP with helmet CPAP was 10 [8-10] cmH
O. The PaO
/FiO
was higher in prone compared to supine position (Supine 166 [136-224] mmHg, Prone 314 [232-398] mmHg, p < 0.001). Respiratory rate and minute ventilation decreased from supine to prone position from 20 [17-24] to 17 [15-19] b/min (p < 0.001) and from 8.6 [7.3-10.6] to 7.7 [6.6-8.6] L/min (p < 0.001), respectively. Prone position did not reduce ΔPes (Supine -7 [-9 to -5] cmH
O, Prone -6 [-9 to -5] cmH
O, p = 0.31) and dTPP (Supine 17 [14-19] cmH
O, Prone 16 [14-18] cmH
O, p = 0.34). Conversely, mPTP and WOB decreased from 152 [104-197] to 118 [90-150] cmH
O/min (p < 0.001) and from 146 [120-185] to 114 [95-151] cmH
O L/min (p < 0.001), respectively. Twenty-six (65%) patients experienced a reduction in WOB of more than 10%. The overall sensation of dyspnea was lower in prone position (p = 0.005).

Awake prone position with helmet CPAP enables a reduction in the work of breathing and an improvement in oxygenation in COVID-19-associated ARDS.

The most common presentation of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum (MD) are intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and inflammation of the MD with or without perforation. Intraperitoneal hemorrhage because of MD is extremely rare. We report a case of MD with intraperitoneal hemorrhage in a child detected with screening laparoscopy.

An 11-year-old girl presented to another hospital with lower abdominal pain and vomiting that lasted for 2days. Acute appendicitis was suspected, and she was referred to our department. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography showed an abscess in the lower abdomen with ascites in the pelvis. She was diagnosed with a localized intra-abdominal abscess and the decision was made to treat with antibiotics. However, her abdominal pain worsened, with abdominal distension, tenderness and guarding. She was diagnosed with panperitonitis and the decision was made for surgery 5h after admission. During surgery, laparoscopic observation from the umbilical region revealed 200ml of fresh blood throughout the peritoneal cavity, originating from the mesentery of the ileum. MD was observed with bleeding from the surrounding mesentery. Small bowel resection was performed, and the patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day. Pathological findings revealed an MD containing ectopic gastric mucosa and small intestinal ulcer perforation at the base of the MD.

We report an extremely rare case of an MD with intraperitoneal hemorrhage in a child. In pediatric cases, it is possible that perforation with ectopic gastric mucosa may cause massive bleeding because of rupture of the surrounding mesenteric blood vessels.

To investigate the impact of computed tomography (CT)-based, artificial intelligence-driven waist skeletal muscle volume on survival outcomes in patients with endometrial cancer.

We retrospectively identified endometrial cancer patients who received primary surgical treatment between 2014 and 2018 and whose pre-treatment CT scans were available (n = 385). Using an artificial intelligence-based tool, the skeletal muscle area (cm
) at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) and the skeletal muscle volume (cm
) at the waist level were measured. These values were converted to the L3 skeletal muscle index (SMI) and volumetric SMI by normalisation with body height. MLN8054 chemical structure The relationships between L3, volumetric SMIs, and survival outcomes were evaluated.

Setting 39.0 cm

of L3 SMI as cut-off value for sarcopenia, sarcopenia (< 39.0 cm
/m
, n = 177) and non-sarcopenia (≥ 39.0 cm
/m
, n = 208) groups showed similar progression-free survival (PFS; p = 0.335) and overall survival (OS; p = 0.241). Using the median value, the low-volumetric SMI group (< 206.0 cm
/m
, n = 192) showed significantly worse PFS (3-year survival rate, 77.3% vs. 88.8%; p = 0.004) and OS (3-year survival rate, 92.8% vs. 99.4%; p = 0.003) than the high-volumetric SMI group (≥ 206.0 cm
/m
, n = 193). In multivariate analyses adjusted for baseline body mass index and other factors, low-volumetric SMI was identified as an independent poor prognostic factor for PFS (adjusted HR, 1.762; 95% CI, 1.051-2.953; p = 0.032) and OS (adjusted HR, 5.964; 95% CI, 1.296-27.448; p = 0.022).

Waist skeletal muscle volume might be a novel prognostic biomarker in patients with endometrial cancer. Assessing body composition before treatment can provide important prognostic information for such patients.

Salicylic acid (SA) and drought stress promote more flowering in sweet orange. The physiological response and molecular mechanism underlying stress-induced floral initiation were discovered by transcriptome profiling. Numerous flowering-regulated genes were identified, and ectopically expressed CsLIP2A promotes early flowering in Arabidopsis. Floral initiation is a critical developmental mechanism associated with external factors, and citrus flowering is mainly regulated by drought stress. However, little is known about the intricate regulatory network involved in stress-induced flowering in citrus. To understand the molecular mechanism of floral initiation in citrus, flower induction was performed on potted Citrus sinensis trees under the combined treatment of salicylic acid (SA) and drought (DR). Physiological analysis revealed that SA treatment significantly normalized the drastic effect of drought stress by increasing antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, POD, and CAT), relative leaf water content, total -treated plants. GO enrichment revealed that SA treatment enhances the regulation and growth of meristem activity under drought conditions, but no such a pathway was found to be highly enriched in the control. Furthermore, we focused on various hormones, sugars, starch metabolism, and biosynthesis-related genes. The KEGG analysis demonstrated that DEGs enriched in starch sucrose metabolism and hormonal signal transduction pathways probably account for stress-induced floral initiation in citrus. In addition, a citrus LIPOYLTRANSFERSAE 2A homologous (LIP2A) gene was upregulated by SD treatment. Ectopic expression of CsLIP2A exhibited early flowering in transgenic Arabidopsis. Taken together, this study provides new insight that contributes to citrus tree floral initiation under the SA-drought scenario as well as an excellent reference for stress-induced floral initiation in woody trees.The interaction between drugs and single-walled carbon nanotubes is proving to be of fundamental interest for drug system of delivery and nano-bio-sensing. In this study, the interaction of pristine CNT with carbazochrome, an anti-hemorrhagic or hemostatic agent, was investigated with M06-2X functional and 6-31G* basis set. All probable positions of related adsorption for these kind drugs were thought-out to find out which one is energetically suitable. Based on the achieved data, the stronger interactions appeared the oxygen atom of C = O group and nitrogen atom of imine groups. The topology analysis of QTAIM (quantum theory of atoms in a molecule) method was accomplished to understand the properties of interactions between the CNT and carbazochrome. Frontier molecular orbital energies of all systems, global index including stiffness, softness, chemical Gibbs energies, and electrophilicity parameters, as well as some other important physical data such as dipole moment, polarizability, anisotropy polarisibility, and hyperpolaribility were calculated, evaluated, and then compared together. The essence of the formed bonding model progress along the reaction roots was further validated using electron localization function (ELF) calculations. The highest values of adsorption energies were determined in the range of 18.24 up to 22.12 kcal mol-1 for these kind systems. The acceptable recovery time of 849 s was obtained for the desorption of carbazochrome from the CNT surface under UV-light. The final results exhibit that carbazochrome can serve as a promising carrier and also as sensitive sensors in any kind of practical application.
