l HPV16 infection which might be related to the risk of cancer.

At the end of December 2019, a novel respiratory infection, initially reported in China, known as COVID-19 initially reported in China, and later known as COVID-19, led to a global pandemic. Despite many studies reporting respiratory infections as the primary manifestations of this illness, an increasing number of investigations have focused on the central nervous system (CNS) manifestations in COVID-19. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the CNS presentations in COVID-19 patients in an attempt to identify the common CNS features and provide a better overview to tackle this new pandemic.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Included studies were publications that reported the CNS features between 1 January 2020 and 20 April 2020. The data of selected studies were screened and extracted independently by four reviewers. Extracted data analyzed by using STATA statistical software. The study protocol registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020184456).

Of 2,353 retrieved studies, we selected 64 studies with 11,687 patients after screening. Most of the studies were conducted in China (58 studies). The most common CNS symptom of COVID-19 was headache (8.69%, 95%CI 6.76%-10.82%), dizziness (5.94%, 95%CI 3.66%-8.22%), and impaired consciousness (1.90%, 95%CI 1.0%-2.79%).

The growing number of studies has reported COVID-19, CNS presentations as remarkable manifestations that happen. Hence, understanding the CNS characteristics of COVID-19 can help us for better diagnosis and ultimately prevention of worse outcomes.

Tooth displacement during avulsion causes total rupture of the pulp's neurovascular supply. Revascularization and pulp healing may occur in immature teeth, which gives rise to the recommendation that root canal treatment may not be required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors for the pulp's response after replantation of young permanent teeth.

Records from 117 patients with 133 replanted permanent immature teeth were reviewed, and pulp outcomes were classified as healing (hard tissue deposition on the dentinal walls followed by narrowing of the pulp lumen or ingrowth of bone-like tissue inside the pulp canal) or non-healing (pulp necrosis with infection). The effect of clinical and demographic co-variates on the hazards of both outcomes was assessed performing a competing risk model.

Pulp necrosis with infection was diagnosed in 78.2% of the teeth, and healing was observed in 12.8% of the teeth. A total of 12 teeth (9.0%) were censored due to prophylactic removal of the pulp or severe external root resorption caused by eruption of adjacent canines. The cs-Cox model demonstrated that the hazards of pulp healing increased in teeth with extra-alveolar periods <15min (csHR 7.83, 95% CI 1.76-34.80, p=.01), while the hazards of pulp necrosis with infection decreased (csHR 0.31, 95% CI 0.10-0.92, p=.04). Teeth replanted with Moorrees' stages 4 and 5 of root development had higher hazards of pulp necrosis with infection than teeth with stage 2 of root development (csHR 2.23, 95% CI 1.11-4.50, p=.03; csHR 2.89, 95% CI 1.40-5.95; p=.01).

Pulp healing rarely occurred after replantation of young permanent teeth being associated with short extra-alveolar periods <15min. Early stages of root development decreased the hazards of pulp necrosis with infection.

Pulp healing rarely occurred after replantation of young permanent teeth being associated with short extra-alveolar periods less then 15 min. Early stages of root development decreased the hazards of pulp necrosis with infection.

Perampanel is a highly selective and noncompetitive α-amino-3 -hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate receptor (AMPAR) antagonist, which has been used as an orally administered antiepileptic drug in more than 55 countries. Recently, perampanel was shown to exert neuroprotective effects in hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke models via regulating blood-brain barrier (BBB) function.

Here, the protective effects of perampanel were investigated in an in vitro neurovascular unit (NVU) system established using a triple cell co-culture model (neurons, astrocytes, and brain microvascular endothelial cells) and in an in vivo traumatic brain injury (TBI) model.

Neurons in the NVU system exhibit a more mature morphological phenotype compared with neurons cultured alone, and the co-culture system mimicked an impermeable barrier in vitro. Perampanel protects the NVU system against traumatic and excitotoxic injury, as evidenced by reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and apoptotic rate. Treatment with perampanel g the Sirt3 cascades.Obesity increases the morbidity and severity of asthma, with poor sensitivity to corticosteroid treatment. Metformin has potential effects on improving asthma airway inflammation. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in suppressing the immunoreaction to allergens. We built an obese asthmatic mouse model by administering a high-fat diet (HFD) and ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization, with daily metformin treatment. We measured the body weight and airway inflammatory status by histological analysis, qRT-PCR, and ELISA. The percentage of Tregs was measured by flow cytometry. Obese asthmatic mice displayed more severe airway inflammation and more significant changes in inflammatory cytokines. Metformin reversed the obese situation and alleviated the airway inflammation and remodelling with increased Tregs and related transcript factors. The anti-inflammatory function of metformin may be mediated by increasing Tregs.Drug-drug interaction (DDI) is a common clinical problem that has occurred as a result of the concomitant use of multiple drugs. DDI may occur in patients under treatment with medications used for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; i.e., chloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, ribavirin, tocilizumab, and remdesivir) and increase the risk of serious adverse reactions such as QT-prolongation, retinopathy, increased risk of infection, and hepatotoxicity. This review focuses on summarizing DDIs for candidate medications used for COVID-19 in order to minimize the adverse reactions.

To assess the prevalence of vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) in consecutive naïve eyes diagnosed with macular oedema (ME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and to longitudinally evaluate the incidence of vitreomacular interface changes over time and the influence on response to treatment.

Retrospective cross-sectional analysis and longitudinal cohort study conducted at two Italian tertiary referral centres.

A total of 295 eyes, treated with intravitreal ranibizumab and/or dexamethasone for ME secondary to RVO between June 2008 and May 2018, were enrolled in the study. 280 fellow eyes met the inclusion criteria and were included as control group. The vitreomacular interface status was evaluated by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and graded according to the OCT-based International Classification System developed by the International Vitreomacular Traction Study (IVTS) group.

At baseline, VMA was present in 130 (44.07%) RVO eyes and 142 (50.7%) control eyes (no statistically signift have an impact on the response to treatment, since it was found to result in a more intensive treatment regimen; however, it did not affect visual and anatomic outcomes. These results do not support vitrectomy or PVD induction in the prevention, nor the treatment, of RVO.

Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) was not found to be more prevalent in eyes with RVO compared to healthy fellow eyes, and RVO, in turn, did not result in a higher persistence of VMA over time. This suggests that VMA and RVO might be two independent retinal phenomena, with no mutual pathogenetic influence. Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) might have an impact on the response to treatment, since it was found to result in a more intensive treatment regimen; however, it did not affect visual and anatomic outcomes. These results do not support vitrectomy or PVD induction in the prevention, nor the treatment, of RVO.The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and prevention practices (KAP) among the garment factory worker population in Bangladesh regarding a historical dengue outbreak in 2019. A total of 400 participants were selected by simple random sampling, and questionnaire-based interviews were conducted. The average score of knowledge, attitude and prevention practice was 8.33 ± 2.35, 6.32 ± 1.20 and 6.31 ± 1.50, respectively. Only 76 out of 400 participants (19%) scored above 10 (all university-educated). Participant workers reported both negative and positive attitudes regarding dengue fever (DF). Negative attitudes included an expectation of increased mortality and strained family finances from DF attacks. A significantly high number of participants (92%) believed that death from DF was inevitable. Positive attitudes included optimism about DF eradication potentials and eagerness to help and donate blood to sick relatives. Participants primarily learned about the DF prevention from mass media (244/400; 61.0%) and social media (97/400; 24.25%). The most popular prevention measures adopted were mosquito repellent incense (344/400; 86.0%) and mosquito nets (389/400; 97.25%). While most participants (358/400; 89.5%) cleaned areas where mosquitos lay eggs, only 169 out of 400 (42.25%) regularly treated with chemical sprays. Only 182 out of 400 (45.5%) reported receiving DF prevention training in the factory. Correlation between DF knowledge and education was statistically significant (r = .38, p .01, n = 398). In conclusion, gaps in KAP for dengue could be addressed by government-sponsored educational programmes that utilize the power of mass/social media for dengue prevention and control. More KAP surveillance studies are needed for other sectors of the society.Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is frequently observed in patients with advanced cancer. The objective of this prospective observational study was to estimate, based on intensive screening, using computed tomography, lower-extremity ultrasonography, and D-dimer testing, the prevalence of VTE in patients with advanced cancer. Patients with metastatic or locally advanced cancer without anticoagulant therapy, who were planning to receive chemotherapy during 4 weeks, were eligible. Evaluations of VTE were performed at pretreatment, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after the start of chemotherapy. Primary endpoint was cumulative incidence of VTE for 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints included incidence of VTE (pretreatment, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after the start of chemotherapy), VTE according to primary cancer site, symptomatic VTE, pulmonary thromboembolism (PE), and treatment of VTE. DRB18 We enrolled 860 patients with a median age of 68 years, including 34% female and 71% lung cancer. Cumulative incidence of VTE for 24 weeks was 22.6% (95% confidence interval 19.
