Purpose Forgotten ureteral stents are associated with safety issues, increased cost, and medicolegal disputes. Tracking ureteral stents is cumbersome because of the variety in placement periods. We developed and validated an electronic medical record (EMR) system-based algorithm for monitoring patients with ureteral stent placements. Materials and Methods The Stent Tracking Algorithm Registry (STAR) is automatically activated once the physician enters the stent placement or replacement billing code into the EMR billing system. At 120 days, an overdue notification is generated and sent to the attending physician through an EMR pop-up dashboard and e-mail. Selleck NSC 125973 The model is automatically deactivated when the stent of the corresponding laterality is removed. To validate the feasibility of STAR, we performed a retrospective review of 2194 patients who received stent placements between November 2006 and September 2019. Results Among 2194 patients, STAR retrospectively identified 354 (16.1%) patients suspected of harboring forgotten ureteral stents. A total of 12 (0.5%) patients actually had forgotten ureteral stents and were contacted for removal. A total of 124 (5.7%) patients were identified because of the omission of the stent removal billing code, whereas 209 (9.5%) patients were identified because of being lost to follow-up after referral to another health care facility or death. There were no cases in which STAR identified patients whose stents were removed or replaced at an appropriate time frame. Conclusions STAR provides an efficient interface with which to prevent the occurrence of forgotten ureteral stents. This model can be integrated into any EMR system that utilizes coding algorithms.In the last decade, an array of smartphone apps have been designed to prevent crime, violence, and abuse. The evidence base of these apps has, however, yet to analyzed systematically. To rectify this, the aims of this review were (1) to establish the extent, range, and nature of research into smartphone apps with a primary crime prevention function; (2) to locate gaps in the primary crime prevention app literature; and (3) to develop a typology of primary crime prevention apps. Employing a scoping review methodology and following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, studies were identified via Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar. We included English-language research published between 2008 and 2020 that examined smartphone applications designed explicitly for primary crime prevention. Sixty-one publications met our criteria for review, out of an initial sample of 151 identified. Our review identified six types of crime prevention app examined in these publications self-surveillance apps, decision aid apps, child-tracking apps, educational apps, crime-mapping/alert apps, and crime reporting apps. The findings of our review indicate that most of these forms of primary crime prevention apps have yet to be rigorously evaluated and many are not evidence-based in their design. Consequently, our review indicates that recent enthusiasm over primary crime prevention apps is not supported by an adequate evidence base.
Different mortality rates are reported in registries of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but comparisons between registries are challenging.

To determine whether the higher mortality rate in our regional French registry (SCALIM) is related to different inclusion criteria and demographic characteristics.

The SCALIM registry included all patients with STEMI within the first 24 h in the region of Limousin, France (06/2011-01/2015). To compare mortality rates with other contemporary registries in France and European neighbouring countries, the others' inclusion criteria were applied to the SCALIM registry.

Among 1501 patients included, in-hospital and 1-month mortality were 8.2% and 8.8% respectively, significantly higher than many other registries. The use of inclusion criteria from EMUST (France), MINAP (UK) or LOMBARDIMA (Italy) markedly decreased the number of enrolled patients by 64%, 36%, and 21%, respectively. When those inclusion criteria were applied to the SCALIMke of comparability.
Higher mortality rate in our regional SCALIM registry is in part due to differences in inclusion criteria and demographic data. Consensus should be made to harmonise inclusion criteria in STEMI registries for the sake of comparability.SARS-CoV-2 is the etiological agent of COVID-19, which represents a global health emergency that was rapidly declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Currently, there is a dearth of effective targeted therapies against viruses. Natural products isolated from traditional herbal plants have had a huge impact on drug development aimed at various diseases. Lapachol is a 1,4- naphthoquinone compound that has been demonstrated to have therapeutic effects against several diseases. SARS-CoV-2 non-structural proteins (nsps) play an important role in the viral replication cycle. Nsp9 seems to play a key role in transcription of the RNA genome of SARS-CoV-2. Virtual screening by docking and molecular dynamics suggests that lapachol derivatives can interact with Nsp9 from SARS-CoV-2. Complexes of lapachol derivatives V, VI, VIII, IX, and XI with the Nsp9 RNA binding site were subjected to molecular dynamics assays, to assess the stability of the complexes via RMSD. All complexes were stable over the course of 100 ns dynamics assays. Analyses of the hydrogen bonds in the complexes showed that lapachol derivatives VI and IX demonstrated strongest binding, with a stable or increasing number of hydrogen bonds over time. Our results demonstrate that Nsp9 from SARS-CoV-2 could be an important target in prospecting for ligands with antiviral potential. In addition, we showed that lapachol derivatives are potential ligands for SARS-CoV-2 Nsp9.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Acidification of 2,6-diamino-5-aryl-1,2-dihydropyrimidine-4-thiolate salts 3a-d with hydrochloric acid formed the corresponding pyrimidine-4-thioles 4a-d. The latter were stirred with peracetylated halo sugars α-D-gluco- and galacto-pyranosyl bromides in sodium hydride and DMF to yield the pyrimidine thioglycosides 6a-h. Deacetylation of the pyrimidine thioglycosides gave the corresponding free pyrimidine thioglycosides 7a-h. The compounds were characterized by 13C NMR, 1H NMR, and IR. The pyrimidine thioglycosides 6a-h and free pyrimidine thioglycosides 7a-h were tested against H5N1 virus strain and exhibited high to moderate activity.
