COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 virus is a new cause of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Little is known about the short-term cognitive prognosis for these patients. We prospectively evaluated basic cognitive functions shortly after care in the intensive care unit (ICU) and three months later in post-ICU COVID-19 patients.

We performed a prospective single-center study in our institution in Paris. Patients with SARS-CoV-2 SARS were prospectively recruited via our ICU. Patients were evaluated using standardized cognitive tests at baseline and at three months' follow-up. Our primary endpoint was the evolution of the following five global tests MMSE, FAB, oral naming test, Dubois five words test and MADRS.

We explored 13 patients at baseline and follow-up. All patients had cognitive impairment at baseline but they all improved at three months, significantly on two of the five global tests after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing MMSE (median 18 (IQR [15-22]) and 27 (IQR [27-29]) respectively, P=0.002) and FAB test (median 14 (IQR [14-17]) and 17 (IQR [17,18]) respectively, P=0.002).

We report here the first longitudinal data on short-term cognitive impairment after intensive care in COVID-19 patients. We found acute and short-term cognitive impairment but significant improvement at three months. This pattern does not seem to differ from other causes of post-intensive care syndrome.

To examine whether premenopausal reproductive age, as indicated by serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH), is associated with leukocyte aging biomarkers.

Prospective cohort analysis.

The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, a population-based study of Black and White adults from four US communities (Birmingham, AL; Chicago, IL; Minneapolis, MN; Oakland, CA).

Premenopausal women with serum AMH measures at examination year 15 as well as leukocyte aging markers.

None.

Telomere length, mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) copy number, and intrinsic and extrinsic epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) at examination years 15, 20, and 25 as well as change between examination years.

Women were 40.2 (standard deviation, 3.7) years of age at examination year 15 when the AMH and initial measures of telomere length and mtDNA copy number (n = 386) were obtained and EAA occurred. After adjustment for chronological age, race, and smoking history, AMH quartile at examination year 15 was not associated with telomere length at examination years 15 and 25 or telomere length change between these years, mtDNA copy number at examination years 15 and 25 or change between these years, or intrinsic EAA at examination years 15 and 20 or change between these years. Women in the second AMH quartile had faster extrinsic EAA than women in the lowest AMH quartile (β-coefficient, 1.84; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-3.49).

In a population-based cohort, AMH did not have associations with leukocyte telomere length, mtDNA copy number, or intrinsic EAA.

To demonstrate safe and efficient techniques for hysteroscopic partial and complete uterine septum incisions with radiofrequency electrosurgery. Review of these techniques may be particularly helpful for a surgical trainee or a less experienced hysteroscopic surgeon.

Video instruction of the hysteroscopic uterine septum incision techniques.

Academic hospital setting.

One patient with a partial uterine septum and 1 patient with a complete uterine septum and a duplicated cervix (2 distinct external cervices) (1).

Hysteroscopic partial and complete uterine septum incisions with a 7-mm unipolar knife electrode. Importantly, the demonstrated techniques can be performed using any hysteroscopic cutting instrument with which the surgeon is comfortable.

Surgical techniques that can be used to safely and efficiently incise a uterine septum and determine when the incision is complete.

For a partial uterine septum, surgical techniques include uterine septum shortening, uterine septum thinning, and measureme in combination to achieve a successful result. Surgeons will find the use of these techniques helpful to maintain intraoperative orientation and provide a framework to guide adequate removal of either a partial or complete uterine septum.This study aimed to discuss fertility concerns unique to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus and single-parent-to-be populations and review special considerations regarding the evaluation and treatment of these patients relevant to the practicing reproductive medicine provider. The use of assisted reproductive technology has rapidly increased over the past 50 years. Given these trends, providers can expect a greater diversity of patients making use of these technologies. NSC 364372 Both the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus community and single parents-to-be represent understudied and important populations who often require the use of assisted reproductive technology to build their families. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine advocates for equitable treatment of patients regardless of sexual orientation and partner status, and health care providers working in the fertility field should be comfortable and confident in assessing the needs of and providing care to these populations.

Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired dysphagia has severe consequences for patients including increased morbidity and mortality. Standard operating procedures, however, including systematic evaluation of swallowing function and access to specialised assessment and training may be limited. Dysphagia management relies on multiprofessional collaboration, but practice is variable and nonstandardised.

The objective of this study was to explore and compare nurses', physicians', and occupational therapists' perceptions of dysphagia management in the ICU.

Six focus group interviews with 33 participants (23 nurses, four physicians, and six occupational therapists) were conductedand analysed using the framework method with a matrix developed from the first interview. Content from the interviews was plotted into the matrix, condensed, and refined.

Clinical dysphagia management depended on recognising signs of dysphagia in patients at risk. Assessment, therapeutic methods, and care differed among professional groupving skills among professional groups.

The objectives of this study were to investigate paediatric nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding the use of physical restraints and to explore the factors related to the use of physical restraints. Findings will provide a reference to develop standard procedures and training.

Nurses' KAP regarding the use of physical restraints affect the use of physical restraints in the paediatric intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care unit. Understanding nurses' decision-making processes should inform strategies and methods for effectively reducing and regulating the use of physical restraints in paediatric patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) in China.

We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 823 registered ICU nurses from 12 children's hospitals in China between April and June, 2020. ICU nurses' KAP regarding the use of physical restraints in children were evaluated using a structured self-administered questionnaire that was distributed through an online platform. Descriptive and cal restraint was related to lower attitude scores; and female, prior training in the use of physical restraints, and a higher level of education were related to higher practice scores.

Nurses would like to use physical restraints without physician approval in an emergency or when they could not pay close attention to a child. There are a few standardised training and lack of clinical guidelines for paediatric nurses. We recommend establishing a standard of care for physical restraints in paediatric patients.

Autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have demonstrated substantial clinical benefit across several hematologic malignancies. However, patient-to-patient variability and heterogeneity of starting cellular material across patient populations and disease indications pose challenges to manufacturing consistency. Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) is an autologous, CD19-directed, defined-composition, 4-1BB CAR T-cell product administered at equal target doses of CD8

and CD4

CAR

T cells. Here the authors describe the optimization of the liso-cel manufacturing platform for product quality and consistency.

Leukapheresis starting materials were collected from patients with large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with liso-cel in clinical trials (NCT02631044 and NCT03331198). The liso-cel manufacturing process involves selection of CD8

and CD4

T cells from leukapheresis material followed by independent CD8

To identify candidate factors for predicting high-volume lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).

We retrospectively studied 2981 patients with PTMC who underwent thyroidectomy from 2013 to 2016. LLNM was identified by histopathology. Patients with different LLNM statuses were compared according to clinical, sonographic and pathological parameters. A multivariate logistic model was established to predict high-volume LLNM (number of metastatic lymph nodes >5).

High-volume LLNM of PTMC was independently associated with age < 40 years (OR = 1.791, P = 0.023), male sex (OR = 2.401,

 = 0.001), tumor size > 0.5 cm (OR = 4.839,

 < 0.001), extrathyroidal extension (OR = 2.097,

 = 0.007) and microcalcification (OR = 2.894,

 = 0.002). These five factors were incorporated together to develop a multivariate analysis, which showed good predictive ability (AUC = 0.78, 95% CI 0.72-0.83), with a sensitivity of 80.0% and a specificity of 61.4%. Moreover, more level II or V lateral regions were involved in patients with high-volume LLNM than in those with small-volume LLNM (69.2% vs. 25.0%,

 < 0.001; 10.8% vs. 4.7%,

 < 0.001).

Multilevel LLNM tended to be more common in patients with PTMC who had high-volume LLNM. The high-volume LLNM rates of patients with PTMC with age < 40 years, male sex, tumor size > 0.5 cm, extrathyroidal extension and microcalcification were relatively higher than those without. These findings may be useful for identifying patients at higher high-volume LLNM risk who may require more aggressive treatment or intensive follow-up management.
