1%, 15.2% and 36.7% of patients, respectively. Lymph nodes were involved in 0.0% with no LVSI, 20.0% with focal LVSI and 60.0% with substantial LVSI (P < 0.001). The median follow-up was 22.2 months. In patients with none/focal versus substantial LVSI, the 2-year LR-DFS and DM-DFS rates were 91.5% versus 71.4% (P = 0.01) and 90.2% versus 63.8% (P = 0.005), respectively. On univariate analysis, myometrial invasion ≥50%, tumour size ≥3.6 cm, substantial versus none/focal LVSI, lymph node involvement and omission of adjuvant radiotherapy were significant predictors for worse LR-DFS and DM-DFS (P < 0.05).

Substantial LVSI has a high incidence in type II pathology at our institution and predicts for lymph node involvement and worse clinical outcomes.

The application of the 3D printing mirror image model is based on the symmetry of the limbs. Different from image fusion to judge the similarity, based on the commonality of the limb morphology of the same organism and the isotropic of the long bone cross-section, the symmetry of the femur has been determined by calculating the dimension difference of the corresponding cross-section of the non-fractured area. However, the previous version used equidistant cross-sections for measurement and two-dimensional data correction, and there were problems with insufficient reliability and data failure. The purpose of this study is to achieve a more accurate and universal symmetry verification scheme for bilateral tubular bones through an improved method.

Forty-five imaging data of proximal femoral fracture and osteopathy were selected from October 2015 to September 2017. 10%, 30%, and 50% of the full-length of the bilateral femur is sliced to judge the similarity between paired femurs.

Greater medication adherence and persistence have been associated with improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. learn more This study compared adherence, persistence, and treatment patterns among patients naïve to glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists initiating once-weekly injectable treatment with dulaglutide versus semaglutide over 6-month (6M) and 12-month (12M) follow-up periods.

This retrospective, observational cohort study used administrative claims data from three IBM MarketScan research databases. Data from adult patients with type 2 diabetes newly initiating treatment with dulaglutide or semaglutide between January 2018 and January 2020 (index date was defined as the earliest fill date), without evidence of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist use in the 6M baseline period, and with continuous enrollment in the 6M baseline and 6M or 12M follow-up period were included. Dulaglutide initiators were propensity score-matched, in a 11 ratio, to semaglutide initiators in each 6M and 12M follow-up cohort (26,284 and 13,837 pairs, respectively).

In the matched cohorts, baseline characteristics were balanced; the mean age was 53 years, and 50% of patients were women. Compared to semaglutide initiators, dulaglutide initiators were more adherent (6M, 63.4% vs 47.8%; 12M, 54.4% vs 43.3%; both, P < 0.0001), more persistent on therapy (6M, 72% vs 62%, 12M, 55.5% vs 45.3%, both, P < 0.001), and had more mean days of persistence (6M, 145 vs 132, 12M, 254.3 vs 220.7; both, P < 0.001).

At both 6M and 12M follow-up, dulaglutide initiators had significantly greater adherence and greater persistence compared with matched semaglutide initiators.

A direct comparison between endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine-needle biopsy (FNB) and current endoscopic biopsy techniques in patients with subepithelial lesions (SELs) is still lacking. Aim of this multicenter study was to compare the diagnostic performance and safety profile between EUS-FNB and bite-on-bite jumbo biopsy.

Out of 416 patients undergoing endoscopic sampling of SELs between 2017 and 2021, after propensity score matching two groups were compared 120 undergoing EUS-FNB and 120 sampled with bite-on-bite jumbo biopsy. Primary outcome was sample adequacy. Secondary outcomes were diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and adverse events.

Median age was 61 years and most patients were male in both groups. Final diagnosis was GIST in 65 patients (54.1%) in the EUS-FNB group and 62 patients in the bite-on-bite biopsy group (51.6%; p=0.37). Sample adequacy was significantly higher in the EUS-FNB group as compared to the bite-on-bite biopsy group (94.1% versus 77.5%, p<0.001). EUS-FNB outperformed bite-on-bite biopsy also in terms of diagnostic accuracy (89.3% versus 67.1%, p<0.001) and sensitivity (89% vs 64.5%; p<0.001), whereas specificity was 100% in both groups (p=0.89). These findings were confirmed in subgroup analysis according to SEL location, final diagnosis, and wall layers of the sampled SEL. Adverse event rate was 6.6% in the EUS-FNB group and 30% in the bite-on-bite biopsy group (p<0.001).

EUS-FNB outperforms bite-on-bite biopsy both in terms of diagnostic yield and safety profile.

Lithography-based additively manufactured (AM) zirconia has been used to fabricate dental implants and custom barriers for guided bone regeneration procedures. However, studies on the effect of AM zirconia on the biological properties of human osteoblasts are lacking.

The purpose of this invitro study was to compare the effect of milled and lithography-based AM zirconia on the biological properties of normal human osteoblasts (NHOsts), as well as to compare the chemical composition between the milled and lithography-based AM 3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP) zirconia.

Three mol percentage yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal disks (Ø6×2-mm) were fabricated using subtractive milling (Priti multidisc ZrO

monochrome) (M group) and lithography-based additive manufacturing methods (LithaCon 3Y 210) (AM group) (n=10). NHOsts were exposed to different material extracts (11, 12, and 14) and cytotoxicity, cell migration, cell morphology, and cell attachment biologicbased AM zirconia tested showed adequate cytocompatibility without differences when compared with the milled zirconia (M group) specimens. Slight chemical element composition differences were found between milled and lithography-based AM zirconia.Immune check point inhibitors (ICI) have secured regulatory approvals across the world for the treatment of various types of cancers. Though not as frequent as immune-related adverse events (AEs) involving other organs, a considerable number of ICI-related renal AE have also been reported and predicting such events has become important. We provide an updated review on possible mechanisms of ICI-related acute kidney injury (AKI), related risk factors, and the use of ICIs in patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). A systematic search for related articles was conducted. Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) is known to be the main cause of ICI-related AKI, with glomerulonephritis also a significant cause. Factors including use of concurrent medications, extra-renal immune related AEs, and combination of two or more immunotherapy drugs are possible risk factors. Use of ICI in patients with CKD may be related to increased occurrence of overall immune related AEs. If the diagnosis of ICI related renal AEs is confirmed, prompt use of steroids is recommended, and in severe cases of AKI, discontinuation of ICI should be considered.Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an increasingly common cancer with a persistently poor prognosis, and only approximately 20% of patients are clearly anatomically resectable at diagnosis. Historically, a paucity of effective therapy made it inappropriate to forego the traditional gold standard of upfront surgery in favour of neoadjuvant treatment; however, modern combination chemotherapy regimens have made neoadjuvant therapy increasingly viable. As its use has expanded, the rationale for neoadjuvant therapy has evolved from one of 'downstaging' to one of early treatment of micro-metastases and selection of patients with favourable tumour biology for resection. Defining resectability in PDAC is problematic; multiple differing definitions exist. Multidisciplinary input, both in initial assessment of resectability and in supervision of multimodality therapy, is therefore advised. European and North American guidelines recommend the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in borderline resectable (BR)-PDAC. Similar regimens may be applied in locally advanced (LA)-PDAC with the aim of improving potential access to curative-intent resection, but appropriate patient selection is key due to significant rates of recurrence after excision of LA disease. Upfront surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy remain standard-of-care in clearly resectable PDAC, but multiple trials evaluating the use of neoadjuvant therapy in this and other localised settings are ongoing.The performance of data driven-based intelligent diagnosis method greatly depends on the quantity and quality of data. Nevertheless, due to realistic limitations, failure data is hard to acquire, which makes the training process of numerous intelligent models unsatisfactory and leads to performance degradation Aiming at this problem, considering the local impulse characteristics as minimum diagnosable units, this paper proposes a signal adaptive augmentation network (SAAN) to effectively construct artificial samples for amplifying fault data volume. The SAAN consists of three sub-structures impulse extractor, regulator, and classifier. The impulse extractor combines inner product matching principle to extract the local impulse features from insufficient samples to construct massive initial artificial samples. The regulator adopts convolution and deconvolution frameworks to regulate and reconstruct the initial artificial samples by specially designed synthetic loss function, which makes artificial samples have same characteristic distribution as real samples. The augmented method is used for validation on three bearing data with some advanced algorithms. Besides, a focal normalized network is designed for classification under small samples. Relevant experiments indicate that the SAAN shows a competitive performance with existing state-of-art diagnostic methods, which can helpfully improve recognition accuracies of various diagnostic models by 5%-35% under small sample prerequisite.In this study, a robust control technique is investigated for the reference tracking of uncertain time-delayed systems in the existence of the actuator saturation. Due to emerging of some control complexities, as well as the input limitations, time-varying delay, uncertainty, and external disturbance, such a tracking goal would be realized through suitable design of the composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) controller. Thus, considering the mentioned limitations, a Lyapunov-based procedure is used to determine the control law. Then, the parameters of the CNF input are derived by using the solution of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem. The planned tracking idea is numerically implemented in two uncertain control systems. Some performance characteristics (i.e., the tracking error, boundedness, and transient responses) are compared with similar ones. Accordingly, the simulations illustrate the efficiency of the suggested control procedure over the existing CNF approaches.
