Overall, our results support a model in which MltG functions as a terminase for both classes of PG synthases by cleaving PG glycans as they are being actively synthesized.
The treatment of perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease remains challenging. Fibrin glue injection has previously shown short-term efficacy in a randomized controlled trial. No long-term data are available to assess the benefit of this treatment.
This retrospective multicentre study included all patients with drained fistulas treated by at least one fibrin glue injection between January 2004 and June 2015 in three tertiary French centres. The primary end-point was the rate of complete clinical remission at 1year after injection defined by the closure of all fistula tracts with no need for iterative anal surgery or for optimization of immunosuppressants and/or biologics.
In all, 119 patients (median age 33years, complex fistulas 65%, median previous anal surgery two, median Harvey Bradshaw score 3, immunosuppressants exposure 50%, anti-tumor necrosis factor exposure 60% with median time of administration of 1.1year) were analysed with a median follow-up of 18.3months. The complete clinical remission rate at 1year was 45.4%. click here The primary end-point was achieved in 63% of the cases in the combination therapy group and 37% in other patients. The only predictor of complete clinical remission at 1 year was combination therapy at the time of injection (P=0.01). The rate of early reintervention after glue injection was 2.5%. The cumulative incidence of iterative anal surgery and ostomy in the whole population was 54% and 5.6% respectively at 5 years.
An adjunct of fibrin glue to conventional medical therapy may be an effective and safe treatment for perianal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease.

In this study, we aim to investigate the thoughts and attitudes of individuals towards the future COVID-19 vaccine.
This descriptive study was carried out on the web between 10/06/2020 and 10/07/2020. The sample constitutes all individuals above 18years of age using social media and smartphone. The e-survey form was shared by the researchers via the web for a month, and those who completed the survey were included in the study and formed the sample of the research.
Seven-hundred and fifty-nine people participated. 49.7% of the participants stated to be vaccinated; 38.4% of them stated to be vaccinated their children against COVID-19; if the vaccine for COVID-19 is developed. The request for the COVID-19 vaccine had relationship with gender, occupation, health insurance, anxiety level, having children and willing to get vaccinated for their children. "Afraid of the side effects of vaccine", "don't think it can be reliable as it will be a new vaccine" and "COVID-19 infection is a biological weapon and the vaccine will serve those who produce this virus" were the most common reasons for rejection of vaccine.
In our study, afraid of the side effects of vaccine and not thinking it can be reliable as it will be a new vaccine are the most reasons of indecision and rejection about COVID 19 vaccine. In order for the future COVID 19 vaccination campaign to not fail, media, politicians and healthcare professionals should closely follow the vaccination development processes, inform the public transparently and consider public's concerns.

This study aimed to evaluate handling of six common inhalers and to determine correlations between correct inhaler technique and patient demographics/ clinical variables.
A total of 180 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients were crossed-over to handle their past-experienced inhalers among (pMDI, Aerolizer, Handihaler, Breezhaler, Turbohaler, and Diskus) randomly, without receiving verbal or demonstrative instruction (baseline assessment). Inhaler technique was assessed using previously defined checklists. The correct use of the inhaler was then demonstrated and the patient was evaluated for inhaler use again. Demonstration was repeated until a correct technique was achieved. Number of counselling attempts needed to a complete right handling, patient demographics and clinical variables were recorded.
The mean percentage of total correct steps showed that pMDI is significantly lower than all other inhalers (76.01±12.61 vs 84.18±10.87, 84.60±12.10, 85.91±9.82, 90.63±9.29 and 91±10.22 for Diskus, Turbohaler, Aerolizer, Handihaler and Breezhaler, respectively, at P<.001). Breezhaler showed the lowest percentage of participants with at least 1 critical error (20%) however, pMDI showed the highest percentage (85.19%) at P<.05. Breezhaler showed that the highest percentage of participants achieved a complete right handling after 1st counselling attempt, however, pMDI was the only inhaler included in a 3rd and 4th counselling attempts (5.93% and 0.74%, respectively). Weak and very weak correlations were found between total correct steps and demographics/clinical variables.
pMDI is not preferable for handling by COPD patients. DPIs vary in ease of use, so that inhaler therapy must be individualised on basis of patient handling assessment with repeated counselling.

The new coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) that emerged at the end of 2019 was stated in China and infected millions of people around the world, with the highest spread rate amongst humans compared with other coronaviruses. This paper aimed to review and analyse the published studies about COVID-19 diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
The reviewed studies were clinical trials, in-vivo, in-vitro, guidelines, reports from the world health organization (WHO), and the centre for disease control and prevention (CDC) in addition to systemic reviews. All data extracted and analysed to stand on the latest updates and recommendations for fighting this severe attack of COVID-19.
Most important antiviral therapy of COVID-19 clinical trials is still running without clear results, but a few trials have indicated the role of numerous drugs in the treatment of COVID-19. Specific recommendations for aerosol therapy should be followed for the management of COVID-19.
Nature of COVID-19 is still not very clear, however, management of the condition is similar to the previous attacks of coronaviruses.
