The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in China demonstrated at an early stage the high rate of moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the patient population. An intervention that has proved beneficial is the use of prone positioning (PP) for mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS. In one institution, PP was practiced in the medical ICU for this population. However, with the dramatically increasing patient load, staff anticipated that greater capacity to provide this treatment to all qualifying patients would be required.

A group of physical therapists and occupational therapists (PT/OTs) with ICU experience was redeployed from their regular roles to receive training in PP from an experienced medical ICU (MICU) RN. After intensive training, the team was ready to provide PP to patients. As the workload increased, additional PT/OTs were recruited to the team. A coordinating structure comprising attending pulmonologists screened and advised on appropriate patients. A communication and feedback structure was also implemented.

Over a period of seven weeks, the team provided PP to more than 100 patients, with 577 individual interventions in a total of 14 ICUs and one emergency department. There were no major airway or central venous access complications, and only one anterior pressure injury was recorded.

The rapid implementation of an interdisciplinary PP team in a crisis situation is feasible. It can provide a safe and efficient alternative to adding to the workload of an overloaded nursing staff.

To investigate whether intensive supervised rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction leads to superior self-reported function and sports participation compared to less supervised rehabilitation.

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing supervised rehabilitation to rehabilitation with a similar protocol that used less supervised sessions for athletes following ACL reconstruction. Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted data. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to evaluate methodological quality and GRADE to evaluate overall quality of evidence. Self-reported function and sports participation were the primary outcomes. Data were pooled using random effects meta-analyses.

Our search retrieved 4075 articles. Seven articles reporting on six RCTs were included (n=353). Very-low to low-certainty evidence suggests intensive supervised rehabilitation is not superior to less supervised rehabilitation following ACLtation as well as their preferences and values.Overcoming anticancer drug resistance is a major challenge in cancer therapy, requiring innovative strategies that consider the extensive tumor heterogeneity and adaptability. We provide recent evidence highlighting the key role of amino acid (AA) metabolic reprogramming in cancer cells and the supportive microenvironment in driving resistance to anticancer therapies. AAs sustain the acquisition of anticancer resistance by providing essential building blocks for biosynthetic pathways and for maintaining a balanced redox status, and modulating the epigenetic profile of both malignant and non-malignant cells. In addition, AAs support the reduced intrinsic susceptibility of cancer stem cells to antineoplastic therapies. These findings shed new light on the possibility of targeting nonresponding tumors by modulating AA availability through pharmacological or dietary interventions.

We sought to determine the relationship between in-hospital mortality and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing with pharmaco-invasive strategy (PIS).

Increased levels of white blood cells have been associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with (STEMI). NLR has recently emerged as a potent and more specific prognostic marker in predicting short- and long-term mortalityin patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. This association has never been reported in patients managed with PIS.

Between March 2010 and October 2016, 1860 STEMI patients managed with PIS were consecutively included in a dedicated database. The study population was divided into tertiles based on the admission NLR values (lower <4.0, intermediate 4.0 to <7.3, and upper ≥7.3). Co-primary endpoints were in-hospital mortality and MACE (death, non-fatal reinfarction or stent thrombosis).

Patients in the upper NLR tertile had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (9.0% vs. 4.8% versus. 1.8%, p<0.001) and MACE (11.6% vs. 8.0% versus 2.9%, p<0.001) than patients with intermediate or low NLR. By multivariable logistic regression analysis, the upper NLR tertile was an independent predictor of MACE (odds radio [OR] 4.19, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.23-7.88, p<0.001) and in-hospital mortality [OR 3.32, 95% CI 1.19-9.28, p=0.02].

High NLR values were independently associated with in-hospital MACE and death in STEMI patients submitted to a PIS. NLR might be a simple and useful risk stratification tool in this high-risk population.

Nutraceutical products are widely used for their claimed therapeutic benefits. However, falsified or adulterated nutraceuticals present a major health threat to consumers. ARV-110 This study investigates the pharmaceutical quality, safety and anti-inflammatory effects of six male enhancement nutraceuticals that claim to be 100% natural.

Three batches of six male enhancement products were tested to detect the presence and levels of adulterants via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The pharmaceutical quality of the selected nutraceuticals was tested with near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and SeDeM. The cytotoxic effects of these products on HepG2 cells were determined through cell proliferation (XTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) cytotoxicity assays. Lastly, the in vitro inflammatory effects of these products were investigated using murine J774 macrophages through cytokine release analysis.

HPLC analysis detected the presence of sildenafil citrate, a vasodilator, and the active ingredient in Viagra and Revatio, in all batches of the products we analyzed.
