No-/slow-reflow phenomenon (NRP) is a severe complication in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). This study aimed to explore the relationship between elevated serum uric acid (SUA) and NRP in patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI, focusing on inflammation and angiographic findings.

A total of 610 patients who received pPCI for STEMI were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into a hyperuricaemia group and a non-hyperuricaemia group according to SUA levels. Clinical information and angiographic indicators were compared between the two groups. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow and TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) <3 after stent implantation were defined as TIMI-NRP and TMPG-NRP, respectively. A logistic model was used to analyse the relationship between hyperuricaemia and NRP.

The hyperuricaemia group had a higher incidence of TIMI-NRP (24.9% vs 14.0%, p<.001) and TMPG-NRP (33.0%se with delayed perfusion or diabetes mellitus.

To describe a guidance on the management of post-acute COVID 19 patients in geriatric rehabilitation.

The guidance is based on guidelines for post-acute COVID-19 geriatric rehabilitation developed in the Netherlands, updated with recent insights from literature, related guidance from other countries and disciplines, and combined with experiences from experts in countries participating in the Geriatric Rehabilitation Special Interest Group of the European Geriatric Medicine Society.

This guidance for post-acute COVID-19 rehabilitation is divided into a section addressing general recommendations for geriatric rehabilitation and a section addressing specific processes and procedures. The Sect. "General recommendations for geriatric rehabilitation" addresses (1) general requirements for post-acute COVID-19 rehabilitation and (2) critical aspects for quality assurance during COVID-19 pandemic. The Sect. "Specific processes and procedures", addresses the following topics (1) patient selection; (2) admission; arch.Nociplastic pain is defined as pain due to sensitization of the nervous system, without a sufficient underlying anatomical abnormality to explain the severity of pain. Nociplastic pain may be manifest in various organ systems, is often perceived as being more widespread rather than localized and is commonly associated with central nervous system symptoms of fatigue, difficulties with cognition and sleep, and other somatic symptoms; all features that contribute to considerable suffering. Exemplified by fibromyalgia, nociplastic conditions also include chronic visceral pain, chronic headaches and facial pain, and chronic musculoskeletal pain. It has been theorized that dysfunction of the endocannabinoid system may contribute to persistent pain in these conditions. As traditional treatments for chronic pain in general and nociplastic pain in particular are imperfect, there is a need to identify other treatment options. A2ti1 Cannabis-based medicines and medical cannabis (MC) may hold promise and have been actively promoted by the media and advocacy. The medical community must be knowledgeable of the current evidence in this regard to be able to competently advise patients. This review will briefly explain the understanding of nociplastic pain, examine the evidence for the effect of cannabinoids in these conditions, and provide simplified guidance for healthcare providers who may consider prescribing cannabinoids for these conditions.

Insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) provides effective glycaemic control with an acceptable safety profile in Japanese patients with diabetes in randomised clinical trials. This post-marketing surveillance study assessed long-term safety and clinical outcomes with IDegAsp in a Japanese real-world setting.

Multicentre, prospective, observational, open-label, single-arm study of Japanese patients with diabetes requiring insulin therapy, who had switched to IDegAsp at their treating physician's discretion in clinical practice. One year after initiating IDegAsp, incidence of adverse events (AEs [primary endpoint]), serious AEs, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and severe hypoglycaemia (secondary safety endpoints) were assessed in the safety analysis set (SAS). Secondary effectiveness endpoints were change from baseline in glycated haemoglobin (HbA

) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in the effectiveness analysis set (EAS).

Overall, 1321 patients were included (SAS, n = 1321; EAS, n = 1285); 4.2% with ty

ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02821052.Cissus rotundifolia has been reported to possess various biological activities such as anti-diabetic, anti-fertility, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-malarial, anti-osteoporotic, and anti-parasitic activities. Therefore in the present study, eleven selected constituents of Cissus rotundifolia which includes aconitic acid, astragalin, acteoside, aliospiroside A, beta amyrin, bergenin, formononetin, gallic acid, isovitexin, isoorientin, and isoquercitrin were studied on the docking behavior of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP 2 and MMP 9), and tyrosinase by using PatchDock method. Furthermore, molecular physicochemical, bioactivity score/drug-likeness, ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), and toxicity analyses were also carried out using Molinspiration, Swiss ADME, and ProTox-II methods, respectively. The molecular physicochemical investigation showed that three ligands such as acteoside, aliospiroside A, and isoorientin have three violations for Lipinski's rule of five. Similarly, ADME analysis one ligand (formononetin) predicated to have high blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability effect. The docking studies showed that isovitexin exhibited the highest atomic contact energy (-341.61 kcal/mol) for human neutrophil elastase (HNE), more over alliospiroside A has shown maximum atomic contact energy for both matrix metalloproteinases (MMP 2 [-618.00 kcal/mol] and MMP 9 [-634.73 kcal/mol]). Furthermore, isoquercitrin has exhibited the highest atomic contact energy (-145.70 kcal/mol) for tyrosinase. Thus, the present investigation outcome provides new knowledge in understanding eleven Cissus rotundifolia constituents as possible novel inhibitors against HNE, MMP 2, MMP 9, and tyrosinase.

Risk factors and consequences associated with Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are still uncertain. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess risk factors and outcomes associated with CDI in children and adolescents with IBD.

PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to 24th February, 2021. Studies investigating risk factors, bowel surgery rate in pediatric IBD patients with and without CDI were included. Random-effects model was used for calculating summary estimates. Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used for quality assessment.

Fourteen studies, comprising 17,114 patients, were included. There was a significant association between 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) use and CDI [odds ratio (OR) = 1.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.26-3.03], with minimal heterogeneity (I

 = 0.00%). Increased risk of active disease (OR = 4.66, 95% CI 2.16-10.07) were associated with CDI in those studies performed in high quality score (NOS > 6) and significantly higher CDI rates in studies conducted outside USA (OR = 2.94, 95% CI 1.57-5.58). The bowel surgery rate in IBD with CDI was 3.8-57.1%, compared to that in IBD without CDI (0-21.3%). All studies were of moderate to high quality.

5-ASA use and active disease might be risk factors associated with CDI in children and adolescents with IBD. Bowel surgery rates associated with CDI in IBD patients varied greatly. Large-scale clinical studies on CDI in children and adolescents with IBD are still needed to verify risk factors and outcomes.

Locally, Shilajit is applied for patients diagnosed with bone fractures. For safety of the patients, the elemental analysis of Shilajit is imperative to evaluate its nutritional quality as well as contamination from heavy metals. The elemental composition of Shilajit was conducted using three advanced analytical techniques (LIBS, ICP, and EDX). For the comparative studies, the two Shilajit kinds mostly sold globally produced in India and Pakistan were collected. Our main focus is to highlight nutritional eminence and contamination of heavy metals to hinge on Shilajit therapeutic potential. In this work, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Shilajit. Our LIBS analysis revealed that Shilajit samples composed of several elements like Ca, S, K, Mg, Al, Na, Sr, Fe, P, Si, Mn, Ba, Zn, Ni, B, Cr, Co, Pb, Cu, As, Hg, Se, and Ti. Indian and Pakistani Shilajits were highly enriched with Ca, S, and K nutrients and contained Al, Sr, Mn, Ba, Zn, Ni, B, Cr, Pb, As, and Hg toxins in amounts that exceeded the standard permissible limit. Even though the content of most elements was comparable among both Shilajits, nutrients, and toxins, in general, were accentuated more in Indian Shilajit with the sole detection of Hg and Ti. The elemental quantification was done using self-developed calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS) method, and LIBS results are in well agreement with the concentrations determined by standard ICP-OES/MS method. To verify our results by LIBS and ICP-OES/MS techniques, EDX spectroscopy was also conducted which confirmed the presence above mentioned elements. This work is highly significant for creating awareness among people suffering due to overdose of this product and save many human lives.

Endovascular treatment's (EVT) safety and efficacy have been proven in treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS)due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, limited data exist in different stroke subtypes. We aimed to investigate the differences in efficacy and safety of EVT for acute LVO according to different stroke subtypes.

A total of 1635 AIS patients with LVO undergoing EVT from a prospective cohort of the Endovascular Treatment Key Technique and Emergency Work Flow Improvement of Acute Ischemic Stroke (ANGEL-ACT) registry were classified into three types according to the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria. We compared the primary outcome 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, the secondary outcomes 90-day mRS (0-1, 0-2, and 0-3), successful recanalization (mTICI 2b/3), and complete recanalization (mTICI 3), and the safety outcomes death within 90days, parenchymal hemorrhage (PH), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) among the three subtypes of stroke patients. Then, multivariable logistic regression models adjusting for potential baseline-confounding variables to determine the associations between stroke subtypes and safety and efficacy endpoints were performed.
