PADSS score>9/10 and adequate pain management. Two patients (8%) were not discharged home on the same day as the surgery for medical reasons (one for pain and one for high blood pressure). No readmissions or complications were reported for the 19 outpatient arthroplasties. None of the outpatients used opioids. All patients were satisfied with their functional outcome, 84% were satisfied with the outpatient management and 17% felt they were insufficiently monitored and regretted that they were not hospitalized.

1) outpatient shoulder arthroplasty can be safely proposed to selected patients with low comorbidities, regardless of their age and type of implant; 2) the acceptance rate for outpatient shoulder arthroplasty remained low among our patient population. These results should incite us to better educate patients about outpatient surgery.

Massive rotator cuff surgical management can be challenging. Controversy exists in the literature regarding the potential benefit of full head coverage for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this study was to compare re-tear rate and clinical outcome of arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears in relation to the achievement of full humeral head footprint coverage or not. mTOR inhibitor review Hypothesis We hypothesized that there will be no difference in re-tear rate and clinical outcomes between full and partial coverage rotator cuff repairs.

A retrospective analysis of all adult patients with a massive rotator cuff tear who underwent arthroscopic repair with a minimum five years follow-up was performed. Outcomes analyzed included re-tear rate, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Score, and the Penn Shoulder Score. Correlation and subgroup analyses were performed in order to evaluate whether age, symptom duration, tear size, coverage percentage, and fatty infiltration had any effecttcome.

The US older adult population (age ≥65 years) is increasing and may be at increased risk for severe anaphylaxis. Little is known about the health care use for acute allergic reactions (AAR), including anaphylaxis, among older adults.

To characterize trends in emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations for AAR and anaphylaxis among US older adults from 2006 to 2014 and examine factors associated with severe anaphylaxis.

We performed cross-sectional analyses of trends in ED visits and hospitalizations among older adults using data from the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample and the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample in 2006 to 2014. We used International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnostic codes to identify visits for AAR, including anaphylaxis. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to identify factors associated with severe anaphylaxis (cardiac arrest, intubation, and death).

In 2006 to 2014, older adults experienced approximatelolder adults, the rate of anaphylaxis-related ED visits and hospitalizations increased over time. Drug-related triggers represented a substantial portion of increased health care use and are a growing risk in this vulnerable population.Nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is involved in mitigating various oxidative stress- and inflammation-induced diseases, including acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Isorhapontigenin (ISO), from the Chinese herb Gnetum cleistostachyum, exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we explored the protective effects of ISO in ALI and its underlying molecular mechanisms. ISO significantly mitigated ALI by reducing the lung wet/dry weight ratio, protein concentration in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the levels of myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde. ISO also improved the superoxide dismutase and glutathione activity in vivo. Moreover, ISO effectively ameliorated the changes in IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α concentrations in BALF, prevented IκB degradation, and inhibited the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 subunit in lung tissues; furthermore, it enhanced the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and inhibited IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, COX-2, and ROS production in lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW264.7 cells. The protective effects of ISO in ALI were significantly reversed in ML385-treated RAW264.7 cells and the mouse model, indicating its role in Nrf2-activation. In conclusion, ISO effectively ameliorated lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, primarily through activation of Nrf2 signaling.
To gain insight into the total and regional lung aeration dynamics at the transition from total liquid ventilation (TLV) to conventional mechanical ventilation (GV).

Neonatal lambs received either TLV for 4 h followed by GV (n = 15) or GV only (n = 11, controls). Monitoring was performed in the prone position with both videofluoroscopy and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for the first 10 min of the transition.

Total and regional end-expiratory lung volumes were stable throughout the transition (p < 0.05). The percentage of tidal volume, liquid and/or gaseous, distributed to the different regions was stable (p < 0.05). Radiopacity of the nondependent regions markedly decreased at end-expiration (p < 0.01), reflecting the progressive transition to a gaseous end-expiratory lung volume.

Weaning to GV did not increase total or regional lung volumes, suggesting that the risk of overdistention was not increased. Residual perfluorocarbon in the dependent lung regions might account for the high O
needs we observed in the first minutes of GV after TLV.

Fatty liver or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease associated with comorbidities such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Chronic activation of hypoxic signaling, in particular, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)2α, promotes NAFLD progression by repressing genes involved in fatty acid β-oxidation through unclear mechanisms. Therefore, we assessed the precise mechanism by which HIF2α promotes fatty liver and its physiological relevance in metabolic homeostasis.

Primary hepatocytes from VHL (Vhl
) and PPARα (Ppara-null) knockout mice that were loaded with fatty acids, murine dietary protocols to induce hepatic steatosis, and fasting-refeeding dietary regimen approaches were used to test our hypothesis.

Inhibiting autophagy using chloroquine did not decrease lipid contents in Vhl
primary hepatocytes. Inhibition of ERK using MEK inhibitor decreased lipid contents in primary hepatocytes from a genetic model of constitutive HIF activation and primary hepatocytes loaded with free fatty acids. Moreover, MEK-ERK inhibition potentiated ligand-dependent activation of PPARα. We also show that MEK-ERK inhibition improved diet-induced hepatic steatosis, which is associated with the induction of PPARα target genes. During fasting, fatty acid β-oxidation is induced by PPARα, and refeeding inhibits β-oxidation.

Overall, our results demonstrate that ERK activated by hypoxia signaling plays a crucial role in fatty acid β-oxidation genes by repressing hepatocyte PPARα signaling.

The first-line treatments, such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cognitive behavioral therapy, leave a significant proportion of patients symptomatic. As psychiatry moves toward targeted circuit-based treatments, there is a need for a theory that unites the phenomenology of anxiety with its underlying neural circuits. The Alarm, Belief, Coping (ABC) theory of anxiety describes how the neural circuits associated with anxiety interact with each other and domains of the anxiety symptoms, both temporally and spatially. The latest advancements in neuroimaging techniques offer the ability to assess these circuits in vivo. Using Neurosynth, a large open-access meta-analytic imaging database, the association between terms related to specific neural circuits was explored within the ABC theory framework. Alarm-related terms were associated with the amygdala, anterior cingulum, insula, and bed nucleus of stria terminalis. Belief-related terms were associated with medial prefrontal cortex, precuneus, bilateral temporal poles, and hippocampus. Coping-related terms were associated with the ventrolateral and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices, basal ganglia, and anterior cingulate. Neural connections underlying the functional neuroanatomy of the ABC model were observed. Additionally, there was considerable interaction and overlap between circuits associated with the symptom domains. Further neuroimaging research is needed to explore the dynamic interaction between the functional domains of the ABC theory. This will pave the way for probing the neuroanatomical underpinnings of anxiety disorders and provide an evidence-based foundation for the development of targeted treatments, such as neuromodulation.
Religiousness/spirituality (R/S) has been associated with greater mental wellbeing in US military veterans, but this work has been conducted primarily with older veterans, cross-sectionally, using a constrained set of R/S and mental health constructs, and lacking consideration of the influence of sex and race/ethnicity. Further, few studies have focused on associations of R/S with veterans' physical health.

We investigated the relationship of R/S to mental and physical health in a sample of 410 Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation New Dawn veterans within five years of military separation and one year later.

In the full sample, R/S coping, R/S organized practices and private prayer minimally related to mental or physical wellbeing, yet R/S struggle related inversely to concurrent and subsequent mental and physical health. For women only, higher baseline organized R/S was associated with lower subsequent stress, anxiety, and insomnia. For men only, baseline R/S coping predicted subsequent poorer physical quality of life and baseline R/S struggle predicted subsequent increased pain. For minority race but not white veterans, higher baseline private prayer predicted increased current pain level at 12 months; for Latinx ethnicity only, higher baseline R/S coping predicted increased quality of life a year later and higher baseline R/S struggle predicted higher subsequent levels of anxiety.

R/S, broadly conceptualized, may relate to wellbeing in military veterans in different ways depending on sex and race/ethnicity, with implications for the role of R/S and R/S struggle in personalizing mental and physical health services.
