No form of heat therapy demonstrated statistical improvements in quality of life or brachial blood pressure. Acute interventions were characterised by large increases in limb blood flow and core temperature, and transient reductions in blood pressure post-heating. At present there are only three randomised controlled trials assessing heat therapy for patients with IC. Moreover, each of those randomised controlled trials utilised different heat therapies. There is also very limited study of the acute physiological responses to different heat therapy interventions in these populations. Future research should establish appropriate heat therapy protocols and implement more randomised trials to understand its effectiveness. PROSPERO CRD42020187941.
Zika virus (ZIKV) may cause severe congenital disease after maternal-fetal transmission. No vaccine is currently available.

To assess the safety and immunogenicity of Ad26.ZIKV.001, a prophylactic ZIKV vaccine candidate.

Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03356561).

United States.

100 healthy adult volunteers.

Ad26.ZIKV.001, an adenovirus serotype 26 vector encoding ZIKV M-Env, administered in 1- or 2-dose regimens of 5 × 10
or 1 × 10
viral particles (vp), or placebo.

Local and systemic adverse events; neutralization titers by microneutralization assay (MN50) and T-cell responses by interferon-γ enzyme-linked immunospot and intracellular cytokine staining; and protectivity of vaccine-induced antibodies in a subset of participants through transfer in an exploratory mouse ZIKV challenge model.

All regimens were well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified. In both 2-dose regimens, ZIKV neutralizing titers peaked 14 days after theiseases.

Because immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs) mimicking immunologic diseases, patients with preexisting autoimmune disease (AID) have been excluded from clinical trials.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ICI in patients with advanced melanoma with and without AID.

Nationwide cohort study.

The Netherlands.

4367 patients with advanced melanoma enrolled in the Dutch Melanoma Treatment Registry (DMTR) between July 2013 and July 2018 and followed through February 2019.

Patient, clinical, and treatment characteristics; irAEs of grade 3 or higher; treatment response; and survival.

A total of 415 patients (9.5%) had AID, categorized as rheumatologic AID (
= 227), endocrine AID (
= 143), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (
= 55), or "other" (
= 8). Of these, 228 patients (55%) were treated with ICI (vs. 2546 [58%] without AID); 87 were treated with anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), 187 with anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-. Survival did not differ between patients with and those without AID (median, 13 months [CI, 10 to 16 months] vs. 14 months [CI, 13 to 15 months]).

Information was limited on AID severity and immunosuppressive treatment.

Response to ICI with anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, or their combination for advanced melanoma and overall incidence of any irAEs of grade 3 or higher were similar in patients with and without preexisting AID. However, severe colitis and toxicity requiring early discontinuation of treatment occurred more frequently among patients with preexisting IBD, warranting close follow-up.

The Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development.Objective To investigate how two types of body representation (body schema and body image) were affected in people with and without apraxia following a supratentorial stroke.Design Observational cross-sectional studySetting Level 1 Specialist Neurological Rehabilitation UnitParticipants 30 participants post-stroke diagnosed with (n = 10) and without apraxia (n = 20) according to a modified version of the short Ideomotor Apraxia Test.Interventions Not applicableMain Outcome Measures Body schema assessed using the hand laterality recognition test and body part knowledge test; Implicit body image assessed using the sidedness test.Results Left-sided lesions were more common in the apraxic group. M344 inhibitor Compared to people without apraxia post-stroke, those with apraxia showed significantly reduced accuracy and longer reaction times on the hand laterality test and fewer correct responses on the body part knowledge test. There was no between-groups difference in the sidedness test.Conclusions People with apraxia showed deficits in online body representations (body schema) that are used to plan and execute actions. Future research studies could target body schema deficits as an adjunct in the rehabilitation of apraxia.This study investigated the reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) with sulfur dioxide (SO2) and adsorption of Cr(VI) onto dried grape pulp carbonized with sulfuric acid. Cr(VI) reduction capacities of SO2 were determined. The filtrate was titrated with NaOH solution after shaking and filtering the carbonized material to retain unreacted sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Simple washing recovered 25-38% of the experimental acid at low concentrations. The carbonized material was washed twice with distilled water and then dried at 105 °C and weighed. The carbonized material had a yield of 56.6% (grape pulp/sulfuric acid ratios of 12), and the lower the H2SO4 content, the better the yield, suggesting that the higher the acid content, the lower the Cr(VI) content per unit grape pulp. Cr(VI) reduction capacities were 219.5, 195.3, and 190.9 mg Cr(VI)/g-H2SO4 for the grape pulp/sulfuric acid ratios of 11, 12, and 13, respectively. Novelty statement A carbonaceous material was obtained from grape pulp by carbonizing with concentrated sulfuric acid. The main objective of this study was to evaluate gas, liquid, and solid products or co-products obtained during carbonization process for hexavalent chromium treatment in aqueous solutions. In this context, (a) hexavalent chromium reduction capability of the gas evolved during carbonization was determined, (b) characterization of unreacted acid recovered by washing the carbonized product left after carbonization step was done, (c) carbonaceous adsorbent obtained was characterized and (d) hexavalent chromium adsorption characteristics of carbonaceous material obtained was determined.HIGHLIGHTSReduction and adsorption mechanisms of hexavalent chromium were investigated.A waste recycling method was proposed.The effects of sulfuric acid on carbonization were assessed.The structures and chemical compositions of a carbonized material were evaluated.The carbonized material is a cost-effective porous adsorbent for a clean environment.
