5/41.7% and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP)-like in 14.6/13.7% of patients. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was used to treat 15.9/10.4% of acute/lymphoma-type ATL patients. The 4-year survival rates (the median survival time, days) for acute-, lymphoma-, unfavorable chronic-, favorable chronic-, and smoldering-type ATL were 16.8% (252), 19.6% (305), 26.6% (572), 62.1% (1937), and 59.8% (1851), respectively. The 4-year survival rates for acute- and lymphoma-type ATL improved compared with those reported in 1991, but those for chronic- and smoldering-type ATL were not. Further efforts are warranted to develop more efficient therapeutic strategies to improve the prognosis of ATL in Japan.

To compare the sensitivity to change of different imaging scoring methods in patients with early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Patients from the DESIR cohort fulfilling the ASAS axSpA criteria were included. Radiographs and MRI of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and spine were obtained at baseline, 1, 2 and 5 years. Each image was scored by 2 or 3 readers in 3 separate 'reading-waves'. The rate of change of outcomes measuring spinal and SIJ inflammation (e.g. SPARCC score) and structural damage on MRI (e.g. ≥3 fatty lesions) and radiographs (e.g. mNY grading) was assessed using multilevel generalized estimating equations (GEE) models (taking all readers and waves into account). To allow comparisons across outcomes, rates were standardized (difference between the individual's value and the population mean divided by the standard deviation).

In total, 345 patients were included. Inflammation on MRI-SIJ (standardized rate range -0.278; -0.441) was more sensitive to change compared to spinal inflammation (range -0.030; -0.055). Structural damage in the SIJ showed a higher standardized rate of change on MRI-SIJ (range 0.015-0.274) compared to X-SIJ (range 0.043-0.126). MRI-SIJ damage defined by ≥3 fatty lesions showed the highest sensitivity to change (0.274). Spinal structural damage slowly progressed over time with no meaningful difference between radiographic (range 0.037-0.043) and MRI structural outcomes (range 0.008-0.027).

Structural damage assessed in pelvic radiographs has low sensitivity to change, while fatty lesions detected on MRI-SIJ are a promising alternative. In contrast, MRI-spine is not better than X-spine in detecting structural changes in early axSpA patients.

Interpersonal spin is an indicator of intraindividual variability in social behavior. Spin is positively related to Neuroticism and is maladaptive, with well-documented deleterious effects on social functioning. The perceptual processes associated with spin and how spin emerges are less well-understood. The present research examines the interpersonal perception of individuals with higher spin and tests whether these perceptual processes explain the association of spin with Neuroticism.

267 students participated in a 20-day event contingent recording procedure, reporting on social interactions via mobile application. Participants' perceptions of others' behavior, their own affect, and their own behavior were measured within and across interactions.

We examined the affective and behavioral responses of individuals with higher spin to perceptions of others' behaviors. Individuals with higher spin showed greater affective and behavioral reactivity to perceptions of others' communal (agreeable-quarrelsome) behavior. Neuroticism predicted greater affective reactivity (i.e., steeper slopes between event-level perceived communion and negative affect), which in turn predicted higher spin.

Individuals with higher spin may have an interpersonal style characterized by greater reactivity to perceptions of others' communal behavior. These individuals' behavioral lability may reflect underlying emotional dysregulation. These processes may ultimately interfere with the formation and maintenance of social bonds.

3-Dimensional Echocardiography allows measuring volumes and parameters of myocardial deformation (strain). Myocardial strain has been suggested to be superior to conventional echo parameters in the assessment of right ventricular (RV) function. Myocardial strain can be assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) or two- and three-dimensional echocardiography (2D and 3DEcho). We performed a comprehensive assessment of the RV based on 3DEcho and compared the results with those based on CMR and 2DEcho.

36 patients with corrected heart defects underwent CMR and 3DEcho to assess RV volume, strain and cardio pulmonary exercise testing with peak VO

measurement. 2DEcho was used for reference.

There was a moderate correlation between 3DEcho and CMR for measuring RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes (r=.82 and .72). 3DEcho tended to underestimate the RV volumes, mean difference EDV 8.5±33ml (CI -2.8; 19.7ml) and ESV 13.2±29ml (CI 3.3; 23ml). According to method-specific reference values for RVEDV, 34/35 (3DEcho) and 29/36 (CMR) were dilated. Among those dilated according to CMR, all were identified by 3DEcho. The coefficient of correlation between RV atrioventricular plane displacement measured by CMR and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion measured by 3D and 2DEcho was r=.6 for both. 2DEcho measured lower LV volumes than CMR. LVEF and GLS were similar in 2DEcho, 3DEcho and CMR. Patients with CMR-determined RV free wall strain≤-14% tended to have lower peak VO

.

Although 3DEcho underestimated RV volumes, it successfully identified all patients with RV dilatation based on method-specific reference values.

Here, we present spage2vec, an unsupervised segmentation-free approach for decrypting the spatial transcriptomic heterogeneity of complex tissues at subcellular resolution. Spage2vec represents the spatial transcriptomic landscape of tissue samples as a graph and leverages a powerful machine learning graph representation technique to create a lower dimensional representation of local spatial gene expression. We apply spage2vec to mouse brain data from three different in situ transcriptomic assays and to a spatial gene expression dataset consisting of hundreds of individual cells. We show that learned representations encode meaningful biological spatial information of re-occurring localized gene expression signatures involved in cellular and subcellular processes.

The present observational cohort study documented the safety of agomelatine in current medical practice in out-patients suffering from major depressive disorder.

The 6-month evolution of agomelatine-treated patients was assessed with a focus on safety (emergent adverse events, liver acceptability), severity of depression using the Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S) score, and functioning measured by the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS).

A total of 8453 depressed patients from 761 centres in 6 countries were analysed (female 67.7%; mean age 49.1 ± 14.8 years). Adverse events reported were in accordance with the known safety profile of agomelatine. Cutaneous events were reported in 1.7% of the patients and increased hepatic transaminases values were reported in 0.9 % of the patients. The incidence of events related to suicide/self-injury was 1.0%. Two completed suicides, not related to the study drug, were reported. CGI-S total scores and SDS sub-scores improved and numbers of days lost or underproductive decreased over the treatment period.

In standard medical practice, agomelatine treatment was associated with a low incidence of side effects. No unexpected events were reported. A decrease in the severity of the depressive episode and improved functioning were observed.

Observational cohort study to evaluate the safety of agomelatine in standard medical practice in depressed patients. A prospective, observational (non-interventional), international, multicentre cohort study.

To identify the changes in transition shock and job satisfaction among newly graduated nurses during their first year and examine the factors affecting these changes.

Newly graduated nurses' high turnover is related to transition shock and job satisfaction. However, insufficient information exists on changes in these variables among such nurses.

A prospective longitudinal design was used. Participants were nurses newly graduated from nursing schools and working in hospitals in South Korea. There were 312, 195 and 120 participants at 4, 8 and 12months, respectively.

Transition shock and job satisfaction decreased as working period increased; transition shock was lower, and job satisfaction was higher in positive work environments. Linear mixed models revealed work environment was the only factor significantly related to transition shock and job satisfaction changes.

The nurses' transition shock and job satisfaction varied as per working period and work environment, which were the most important factors of these changes.

Nurse managers can be aware of transition shock and job satisfaction changes, assess their severity and implement solutions in their hospitals. Thus, retention strategies should differ according to the changing needs of nurses at different stages of their career.

The objective of this study was to estimate the features of suicide rate and its association with antidepressant prescriptions during the past decade in China.

Official data on suicides were obtained and stratified by four age groups, gender, urban/rural areas, and regions (East, Central, and West). The annual antidepressant prescriptions were expressed in pills per 100 persons calculated as the volume of prescriptions divided by the total population. selleck chemical Negative binomial regression was carried out to examine the association between suicide and other variables.

Suicide rates in each stratum typically decreased from 2008 to 2015, while annual antidepressant prescriptions were generally increased by the year. The suicide rate increased with age and was greater in adult males than in females; higher in the central area and greater in rural than in urban areas. Suicide rates are negatively associated with antidepressant prescriptions including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (Incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.
