We assessed management of patients with de novo metastatic rectal cancer, referred for radiotherapy to the rectum, who were candidates for short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) and chemotherapy, followed by resection of all disease. We assessed surgical outcomes, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).

Retrospective review of patients meeting criteria (i) treatment with SCRT to rectum; (ii) locally advanced primary rectal cancer; and (iii) resectable distant metastases at diagnosis. Data were collected from charts, correspondence and electronic patient records. OS and PFS were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Between 2016 and 2020, 48 patients with stage IV rectal cancer at diagnosis were treated with SCRT. Only 15 patients (31%) had resectable metastatic disease and were intended for SCRT (25Gy/5#), then chemotherapy, followed by resection of all sites of disease and are included in our study. 12 of the 15 surgical candidates (80%) had rectal surgery as planned, and 11 of the 15 (73%) had resection of the rectal primary and all metastatic disease. One patient had a pathological complete response (pCR), and 50% of surgical patients had a Mandard TRG of 1 or 2. Median PFS and OS for the 15 surgical candidates were 12.6 and 25.2months, respectively, with a median FU of 21.2months.

For this cohort of patients, our treatment paradigm is pragmatic and results in excellent pathological response. However, the effectiveness of this approach should be the subject of future prospective studies.

Varenicline is an effective treatment for smoking cessation. While clinical trials did not confirm a causal role, case reports suggested a possible link of varenicline with neuropsychiatric adverse drug events (NPAEs). This study aims to investigate the risk of NPAEs associated with varenicline initiation among the general population in a real-world setting.

We conducted a sequence symmetry analysis (SSA) based on the University of Groningen IADB.nl prescription database. We selected incident users of both varenicline and marker drugs for NPAEs, including depression, anxiety and sleep disorder within different time-intervals. Adjusted sequence ratios (aSR) were calculated for each time-interval.

Within 365-days' time-interval 1066 patients were incident users of both varenicline and NPAE marker drugs. In total, 505 patients were prescribed varenicline before NPAE marker drugs and 561 vice versa (crude sequence ratio [cSR] 0.90, 95% CI 0.80-1.02). After adjustments for trends in prescriptions, overall a ng cessation.

Commercially formulated pesticide products are complex mixtures of one or more active ingredients and several co-ingredients. However, the modifying effect of co-ingredients on skin uptake and glove barrier protection has been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to understand the role of formulation co-ingredients in skin and glove barrier protection performance against organophosphate insecticides.

We adapted standard in vitro diffusion cell methods to test permeation kinetics of two commonly used organophosphate insecticides dimethoate and omethoate. For spray dilutions, dimethoate and omethoate did not reach breakthrough glove permeation rate (1μg·cm

·min

) and no or little skin permeation was observed for up to 8h, regardless of formulation. For exposure conditions involving highly concentrated products, significant differences in glove permeation were observed between different formulations of dimethoate (about 1.5-fold, P < 0.05) and of omethoate (184-fold, P < 0.001). In contrast, ng a common glove material for different formulations of the same chemical without careful consideration of co-ingredients and their permeation properties may not necessarily be appropriate.We have synthesized the first isolable geminal bisenolates L2K2Ge[(CO)R]2 (R = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl (2a,b), L = THF for (2a ) or [18]-crown-6 for (2b)), a new synthon for the synthesis of organometallic reagents. The formation of these derivatives was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The UV-Vis spectra of these anions show three distinct bands, which were assigned by DFT calculations. The efficiency of 2a,b to serve as new building block in macromolecular chemistry is demonstrated by the reactions with two different types of electrophiles (acid chlorides and alkyl halides). In all cases the salt metathesis reaction gave rise to novel Ge-based photoinitiators in good yields.We report a simple and rapid saliva-based SARS-CoV-2 antigen test that utilizes a newly developed dimeric DNA aptamer, denoted as DSA1N5, that specifically recognizes the spike proteins of the wildtype virus and its Alpha and Delta variants with dissociation constants of 120, 290 and 480 pM, respectively, and binds pseudotyped lentiviruses expressing the wildtype and alpha trimeric spike proteins with affinity constants of 2.1 pM and 2.3 pM, respectively. To develop a highly sensitive test, DSA1N5 was immobilized onto gold electrodes to produce an electrochemical impedance sensor, which was capable of detecting 1,000 viral particles per mL in 11 diluted saliva in under 10 min without any further sample processing. Evaluation of 36 positive and 37 negative patient saliva samples produced a clinical sensitivity of 80.5% and specificity of 100% and could detect the wildtype virus as well as the alpha and Delta variants in the patient samples, which is the first reported rapid test that can detect any emerging variant of SARS-CoV-2.

We leveraged a recent efficacy trial to investigate directionality between parent anxiety and child anxiety at posttreatment and 12-month follow-up, and the potential role of parent psychological control as a mediator. We also explored child age and sex as moderators.

Two-hundred and fifty-four children were randomized to individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or to one of two CBT arms with parent involvement. Parent anxiety was not a treatment target in any of the three arms.

Child anxiety at posttreatment was associated with parent anxiety and psychological control at 12-month follow-up, providing evidence of child-to-parent directionality. Parent anxiety at posttreatment was associated indirectly with child anxiety at 12-month follow-up through associations with parent psychological control, providing evidence of parent-to-child directionality. At posttreatment, parent psychological control contemporaneously mediated the relation between parent and child anxiety. Neither child age nor sex moderated any association.

Findings highlight the directional effects between child anxiety, parent anxiety, and psychological control from posttreatment to 12-month follow-up, even when parent anxiety is not a treatment target. Research and clinical implications are discussed, with an emphasis on enhancing durability following treatment effects.

To evaluate whether locally applied vaginal estrogen affects prolapse-associated complaints compared with placebo treatment in postmenopausal women prior to surgical prolapse repair.

Randomised, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multicentre study.

Urogynaecology unit at the Medical University of Vienna and University Hospital of Tulln.

Postmenopausal women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and planned surgical prolapse repair.

Women were randomly assigned local estrogen cream or placebo cream 6weeks preoperatively.

The primary outcome was differences in subjective prolapse-associated complaints after 6weeks of treatment prior to surgery, assessed with the comprehensive German pelvic floor questionnaire. Secondary outcomes included differences in other pelvic floor-associated complaints (bladder, bowel or sexual function).

Out of 120 women randomised, 103 (86%) remained for the final analysis. After 6weeks of treatment the prolapse domain score did not differ between the estrogen and the placebo groups (4.4±0.19 versus 4.6±0.19; mean difference, -0.21; 95%CI -0.74 to 0.33; P=0.445). Multivariate analysis, including only women receiving the intervention, showed that none of the confounding factors modified the response to estradiol.

These results demonstrate that preoperative locally applied estrogen does not ameliorate prolapse-associated symptoms in postmenopausal women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse.

Preoperative local estrogen does not ameliorate prolapse-associated symptoms in postmenopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse.

Cannabis use among PWH may have a beneficial effect, as neuroinflammation is known to be a critical problem in PWH and cannabis use has been associated with a reduction in proinflammatory markers. Thus, it is important to understand the net impact of cannabis use on brain and cognitive function in PWH. In this study, we collected magnetoencephalographic (MEG) brain imaging data on 81 participants split across four demographically matched groups (i.e., PWH using cannabis, controls using cannabis, non-using PWH, and non-using controls). 5-Fluorouracil concentration Participants completed a visuospatial processing task during MEG. Time-frequency resolved voxel time series were extracted to identify the dynamics of oscillatory and pre-stimulus baseline neural activity. Our results indicated strong theta (4-8 Hz), alpha (10-16 Hz), and gamma (62-72 Hz) visual oscillations in parietal-occipital brain regions across all participants. PWH exhibited significant behavioral deficits in visuospatial processing, as well as reduced theta oscillations and elevated pre-stimulus gamma activity in visual cortices, all of which replicate prior work. Strikingly, chronic cannabis use was associated with a significant reduction in pre-stimulus gamma activity in the visual cortices, such that PWH no longer statistically differed from controls. These results provide initial evidence that cannabis use may normalize some neural aberrations in PWH. This study fills an important gap in understanding the impact of cannabis use on brain and cognitive function in PWH.
