05) was observed. CBCT evaluation showed a statistical significant decrease in buccal alveolar bone thickness and increase in molar inclination (

< .05). Finite element modeling analysis highlighted that the maximum displacement occurred at the anterior region with stresses radiating till the anterior nasal spine, zygomatic arch, and sphenoid bone.

Alt- RAMEC protocol combined with facemask protraction can lead to significant maxillary advancement, with some transient decrease in buccal bone thickness noted thereby warranting long-term studies to further assess its effect on the dentofacial apparatus.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), is a naturally occurring flavone possessing health benefiting pharmacological properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenging properties. Our study investigates the role of EGCG on N,N'-dimethylhydrazine (DMH), a toxic environmental pollutant, induced colon toxicity. To investigate the effect of EGCG, Wistar rats were given EGCG for 7 days at the two doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight and DMH was injected on the seventh day in all the group rats except the control. Our results indicate that DMH administration increased the oxidative stress (MDA) and depleted the glutathione and antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GR, GST and GPx) which was significantly ameliorated by EGCG treatment. Additionally DMH treatment upregulated inflammatory markers expression (NF-κB, COX-2 and IL-6) and enhanced mucosal damage in the colon. EGCG treatment significantly reduced inflammation and restored the normal histoarchitecture of the colon. We can conclude from the present study findings that EGCG protects the colon from DMH toxicity through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential.

The aim of this study was to describe a method of subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) device placement with intraoperative ultrasound guidance, with or without microsurgical ureterotomy, for the treatment of benign ureteral obstruction(s) in cats. A secondary aim was to describe the complications and outcomes in our population, and compare the two groups with and without ureterotomy.

The medical records of cats with benign ureteral obstruction(s) treated with SUB device placement with intraoperative ultrasound guidance between April 2013 and June 2018 were reviewed.

Twenty-four cats with 30 obstructed ureters had a SUB device placement with intraoperative ultrasound guidance in 26 surgeries. A microsurgical ureterotomy was performed in 14/26 surgeries. Median age was 10.07 years (range 4-16.6). Eleven of 24 cats (46%) had a previous history of chronic kidney disease (CKD). KRT-232 All cats, including two patients with minimal pelvic dilation (⩽4 mm), had a successful intrapelvic placement of the SUB device. Meditive for the treatment of ureteral obstruction. Ultrasound guidance may be a more accessible option when a trained veterinarian does not have access to fluoroscopy. Microsurgical ureterotomy did not show any advantage and prolonged the anesthesia. Our median survival time emphasizes a good outcome of SUB device placement, even in cats with a previous history of CKD.

The number of cancer survivors is increasing in Colombia, and health policy changes are necessary to meet their unmet needs and improve their health outcomes. Similar trends have been identified in developed countries, and positive changes have been made.

We conducted a narrative review to provide an overview of Colombia's social structure, health care system, and health care delivery in relation to cancer, with recommendations for improving cancer survivorship in Colombia based on the model of survivorship care in the United States.

We proposed general recommendations for improving cancer survivors' care including (1) recognizing cancer survivorship as a distinct phase of cancer, (2) strengthening methods and metrics for tracking cancer survivorship, (3) assessing and monitoring cancer symptoms and quality of life of cancer survivors, (4) publishing evidence-based guidelines considering the social, economic, and cultural characteristics of Colombian population and cancer survivors' specific needs.

These recommendations could be used to inform and prioritize health policy development in Colombia related to cancer survivorship outcomes.

Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are among the most vulnerable, and they require support to start their recovery. The design of the patient area in the ICU can play a prominent role in both the quality of care and patients' recovery. The lighting environment has the opportunity to restore and strengthen the natural human circadian rhythm and health.

To evaluate patients' self-reported recovery after being cared for in an ICU room rebuilt according to evidence-based design principles that promote recovery.

An intervention was set up in a two-bed patient room including a cycled lighting system. Self-reported recovery was reported at 6 and 12 months after discharge. Data were analyzed using a 2(mechanically ventilated, nonmechanically ventilated) × 2(intervention room, ordinary room) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and 2(male, women) × 2(intervention room, ordinary room) ANCOVA.

Data from the different rooms showed no significant main effects for recovery after 6 months,

= .21; however, after 12 months, it become significant,

. < .05. This indicated that patient recovery was positively influenced for patients cared for in the intervention room (

= 8.88,

= 4.07) compared to the ordinary room (

= 10.90,

= 4.26). There were no interaction effects for gender or if the patients had been mechanically ventilated either at 6 or 12 months' postdischarge.

A cycled lighting system may improve patient self-reported recovery after ICU care; however, more research on the topic is needed.
