Massive uterine bleeding occurring after delivery is in most cases unpredictable and can have fatal consequences. This article presents the technique of combining the twisting of uterus on a 90° rotation on its axis and positioning a sling around the cervix, allowing to decrease incoming blood flow from uterine and ovarian arteries. The aim of this easy-to-use procedure is to enable surgeons and anaesthesiologists to respectively ensure the presence of an experienced surgeon and to stabilise the haemodynamic of the patient. It is a modus operandi of particular interest in resources' challenged environments.A heteroleptic terminal alkyl lutetium complex stabilized by a bulky guanidinato ligand, LLu(CH2C6H4NMe2-o)(Me)(THF) (1) (L = (PhCH2)2NC(NC6H3iPr2-2,6)2) has been synthesized by the treatment of LLu(CH2C6H4NMe2-o)2 with AlMe3 (1 equiv.) via an alkyl-exchange reaction in toluene/THF (4 1) solution and fully characterized. The difference in the activities of aminobenzyl and methyl was also proven through their selective reactivity, including complex 1 with one equivalent of DIC, CS2 and HPPh2, to afford complexes LLu[(NiPr2)2CMe](CH2C6H4NMe2-o) (2), L2Lu2[μ-η1η2-S2CCHC6H4NMe2-o][μ-η2η2-S2CCHC6H4NMe2-o](THF) (4), and LLu(Me)[μ-O(CH2)4 PPh2]2 (5), respectively. The subsequent transformations have also been investigated, obtaining complexes LLu[(NiPr2)2CMe][(NiPr2)2C CH2C6H4NMe2-o] (3), LLu[O(CH2)4PPh2][μ-O(CH2)4PPh2]2 (6) and dimeric lutetium phosphide LLu[μ-O(CH2)4PPh2]2(Me)(PPh2) (7). In addition, the guanidinate bimetallic alkynyl-bridged lutetium complex [LLu(μ-CCPh)]2(μ-η2η2-PhC4Ph) (8) bearing the μ2-butatrienediyl group was obtained from the reaction of 1 with PhCCH (2 equiv.). The guanidinate lutetium μ-imido complex [LLu(μ-NPh)(THF)]2 (10) was also obtained in good yield by the treatment of 1 with PhNH2.This study aimed to investigate the effect of early inflammatory reaction on ovarian reserve of patients with ovarian endometriomas after laparoscopic cystectomy. click here Our retrospective case series included 112 patients with ovarian endometriomas that underwent the laparoendoscopic single-site cystectomy. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), hs-CRP, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and AMH level were detected during perioperative and postoperative period. In our study, ovarian endometriomas with low AMH group were found having higher level of IL-6 than the normal AMH group in the preoperative status. On the 3rd day after operation, the change of AMH level was inversely proportional to the IL-6 level. During the follow-up within one year, it was found that the bilateral nature of the cyst and the postoperative IL-6 increased level were the risk factors for AMH not returning to baseline level. Our results suggested that inflammatory reaction is indeed involved in the damage of ovarian reserve during laparrve should be fully considered before operation, especially young women with bilateral ovarian endometriomas. Moreover, this is also the clinical basis for further study on the mechanism of inflammatory ovarian injury or the method of blocking the inflammatory response to reduce the damage of ovarian reserve after surgery.
Treatment options for proctitis are limited. To assist trial design for novel therapeutics, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of proctitis randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to quantify placebo rates and identify factors influencing them.
We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL from inception to June 2021. Placebo-controlled trials of pharmacological interventions for proctitis were eligible. Placebo clinical response and remission rates for induction and maintenance trials were extracted and pooled using a random-effects model. Mixed-effects meta-regression was used to evaluate the impact of patient and study-level characteristics.
Twenty RCTs (17 induction and 4 maintenance phases) were included. The most common intervention was aminosalicylates and most studies investigated topical medications. The pooled placebo clinical response and remission rates for induction trials were 28% (95% CI 22-35%; n=17) and 20% (95% CI 12-32%; n=9), respectively. Pooled placebo endoscopic response and remission rates were 32% (95% CI 26-39%, n=12) and 18% (95% CI 9-33%, n=6), respectively. For maintenance trials, the pooled placebo clinical remission rate was 29% (95% CI 16-46%, n=17). Trials published after 2005 and trials with a longer duration of follow-up were associated with significantly lower placebo response rates. Nineteen of 20 studies were assessed as unclear risk of bias reflecting the historical nature of trials.
Placebo response and remission rates in proctitis trials are influenced by trial phase and the endpoint being assessed. These contemporary rates will inform trial design for novel therapeutics for treatment of proctitis, which is a large unmet need.

We addressed questions about the potential discrepancy between improvements in activity capacity and improvements in activity performance in daily life. We asked whether this discrepancy is 1. Common in routine, outpatient care, or an artifact of intervention studies? 2. Unique to upper limb (UL) rehabilitation, or is it seen in walking rehabilitation too? 3. Only seen in persons with stroke, or a broader neurorehabilitation problem?
A longitudinal, observational cohort of 156 participants with stroke or Parkinson disease (PD) receiving outpatient rehabilitation at 5 clinics was assessed around admission and monthly during their episode of care. Individual, longitudinal capacity (Action Research Arm Test or walking speed) and performance (wearable sensor measurements of use ratio or steps/day) data were modeled to extract predicted change scores. Simulation methods were used to determine whether an individual's change was greater than 1 standard error. Participants were classified into categories based onilable for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at http//links.lww.com/JNPT/A396).
This study examined relationships between physical fitness, health behaviors, and occupational outcomes of university affiliates.
166 university affiliates of an American university (including students, faculty, and staff) participated between October 2018 and March 2020.
Participants completed fitness measurements, wore a device to measure physical activity (PA) and sleep for one week, and completed a survey evaluating happiness and job satisfaction. Multiple regression models evaluated associations between physical fitness, health behaviors, and occupational outcomes.
45% of participants had "poor" cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and unhealthy % fat. CRF, body composition, and muscular endurance were related to PA while body composition was related to sleep duration. Muscular endurance was related to GPA and job satisfaction.
Findings suggest 45% of university affiliates had deficient physical fitness and may benefit from increasing PA and sleep. Universities should evaluate fitness within holistic programs to improve affiliates' health and, ultimately, occupational success.

Only a few compounds were well characterized for their P2X receptor functional activity and subtype selectivity. This study represents the first fully functional characterization of various ATP derivatives combined with in silico studies to advance the understanding of SARs at the orthosteric binding sites of P2X receptors leading to the identification of 2-chloro-3-trifluoromethylbenzoyl ATP ester as a novel pan-P2X receptor agonist and several subtype-selective P2X receptor agonists. Furthermore, esterification of both hydroxyl functions of ATP using 1-naphthoic acid has led to compound 26 acting as an antagonist at P2X1-4 and P2X2/3 receptors and an agonist at P2X7 receptors. This particular ATP derivative will allow interrogating the P2X7 receptor function while antagonizing all other P2X receptor subtypes and therefore serve as a valuable pharmacological tool in the future.Lithium-rich manganese-based oxides (LRMO) are regarded as promising cathode materials for powering electric applications due to their high capacity (250 mAh g-1) and energy density (∼900 Wh kg-1). However, poor cycle stability and capacity fading have impeded the commercialization of this family of materials as battery components. Surface modification based on coating has proven successful in mitigating some of these problems, but a microscopic understanding of how such improvements are attained is still lacking, thus impeding systematic and rational design of LRMO-based cathodes. In this work, first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations are carried out to fill out such a knowledge gap and to propose a promising LRMO-coating material. It is found that SrTiO3 (STO), an archetypal and highly stable oxide perovskite, represents an excellent coating material for Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 (LNMO), a prototypical member of the LRMO family. An accomplished atomistic model is constructed to theoretically estimate the structural, electronic, oxygen vacancy formation energy, and lithium-transport properties of the LNMO/STO interface system, thus providing insightful comparisons with the two integrating bulk materials. It is found that (i) electronic transport in the LNMO cathode is enhanced due to partial closure of the LNMO band gap (∼0.4 eV) and (ii) the lithium ions can easily diffuse near the LNMO/STO interface and within STO due to the small size of the involved ion-hopping energy barriers. Furthermore, the formation energy of oxygen vacancies notably increases close to the LNMO/STO interface, thus indicating a reduction in oxygen loss at the cathode surface and a potential inhibition of undesirable structural phase transitions. This theoretical work therefore opens up new routes for the practical improvement of cost-affordable lithium-rich cathode materials based on highly stable oxide perovskite coatings.Tobacco use and related mortality remain disproportionately high among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). Though engagement in tobacco cessation interventions is associated with improved long-term recovery, many individuals in SUD treatment do not participate. The goal of the present study was to better understand patient views regarding tobacco use/cessation during residential SUD treatment, in order to decrease barriers for this vulnerable population. This study utilized a cross-sectional design and mixed methods analysis. Following discharge from residential SUD treatment, individuals who reported any use of tobacco were invited to participate in a brief phone interview. Forty-one of the 60 who were reached (68%) agreed to participate. Responses were quantified for analysis when appropriate, and descriptive statistics were calculated for quantitative data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative responses. Most respondents (83%) reported that tobacco cessation was an important goal and were open to tobacco cessation treatment.
