570-9.980), being on anastrozole (OR=0.139, 95%CI 0.040-0.485), getting a thorough therapeutic communication about treatment (OR=4.590, 95%CI 1.061-19.863), undergoing mastectomy (OR=0.215, 95%CI 0.059-0.788), having side effects (OR=0.210, 95%CI 0.085-0.517) were found to be significantly associated with adherence to AHT.

In general, the overall adherence to AHT was 77.5% for women with breast cancer. Factors such as types of adjuvant hormone therapy, lack of side effects, mastectomy, getting social support, and thorough therapeutic communication were strongly linked with adherence to them.

Mechanical allodynia is the most common and challenging symptom associated with neuropathic pain; however, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ErbB4, a receptor for neuregulin-1 (NRG1), participates in the modulation of mechanical allodynia.

Radiant heat and von Frey filaments were applied to assess nociceptive behaviors. Entinostat in vivo Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and small interfering RNA were used to identify the likely mechanisms.

ErbB4 was rapidly and persistently activated in spinal parvalbumin (PV) interneurons after chronic constriction injury (CCI) in mice. Knockdown of ErbB4 in the spinal cord prevented and reversed CCI-induced mechanical allodynia, and activation of ErbB4 by spinal application of NRG1 induced mechanical allodynia in naïve mice. Furthermore, we found that activation of ErbB4 decreased the glycine concentration in the spinal cord, contributing to modulation of mechanical allodynia.

ErbB4 in spinal PV interneurons gates mechanical allodynia in neuropathic pain via regulation of glycinergic inhibitory tone, suggesting that a possible ErbB4-mediated process participates in the development of neuropathic pain.

Over the past 30 years, various guidance techniques have been developed for regional anesthesia ranging from paresthesia progressing to neurostimulation and currently ultrasound guidance. Especially, the use of point-of-care ultrasound greatly enhances the success rate of regional anesthesia. However, the poor imaging quality of ultrasound in patients with obesity, fat infiltration, etc., limits the use of ultrasound. The combined use of ultrasound with neurostimulator, electromyography, pressure monitoring, etc. is advocated in order to facilitate regional anesthesia in this cohort of patients. The accumulated evidence has shown that the ultrasound combined with other techniques (UCOT) can help to solve the difficulties of puncture location caused by obesity, anatomical variation, and other factors when using ultrasound guidance alone. In recent years, with the development of medical image fusion and medical image artificial intelligence identification technology, guidance techniques for regional anesthesia have advanced considerably. To understand the advantages and disadvantages of the various guidance techniques for regional anesthesia developed in recent years and to guide their rational clinical application, this paper reviews these techniques, describing the progression from the early use of paresthesia to the latest UCOT, as well as the latest research on UCOT, and the prospects for the development of new guidance techniques for regional anesthesia.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CKD), mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) and high mortality. Bone-related factors such as osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OC), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) were linked to cardiovascular complications of CKD and are expected to have predictive value in CKD patients.

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of OPN, OC, OPG and FGF23 to clinical characteristics and to evaluate their ability to predict mortality in patients with different CKD stages.

The following study groups were enrolled subjects with end-stage renal disease (38 ESRD), CKD stages 3 and 4 (19 CKD3-4) and non-CKD controls (19), respectively. Blood was withdrawn once to perform the measurements and cardiac computed tomography was used to evaluate coronary calcium score (CS). Patients were followed for 5 years for the ascertainment of their all-cause mortality.

Serum OPN, OC and OPG concentrations increased significantly along with the progression of renal disease. We found a significant positive correlation among these proteins. Additionally, OPN and OPG were significantly and positively correlated to CS. Serum OPG revealed the strongest correlation to the calcium turnover markers of GFR decline and was significantly associated with an increased risk of death in subjects with CKD3-4 or ESRD (HR 5.8, CI 95%).

Single measurement of osteoprotegerin is associated with 5-year all-cause mortality in patients with CKD3-4 or ESRD. We suggest assessing its concentration, preferably in combination with calcium score, to stratify mortality risks in CKD patients.

The management of COVID-19 patients requires efficiency and accuracy in methods of detection, identification, monitoring, and treatment feasible in every hospital. Aside from clinical presentations and laboratory markers, chest x-ray imaging could also detect pneumonia caused by COVID-19. It is also a fast, simple, cheap, and safe modality used for the management of COVID-19 patients. Established scoring systems of COVID-19 chest x-ray imaging include Radiographic Assessment of Lung Edema (RALE) and Brixia classification. A modified scoring system has been adopted from BRIXIA and RALE scoring systems and has been made to adjust the scoring system needs at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the value of scoring systems through chest x-ray imaging in evaluating the severity of COVID-19.

Data were collected from May to June of 2020 who underwent chest x-ray evaluation. Each image is then scored using three types of classifications modified score, RALE score, and Brixia score.
