Secondly, 40 patients with resectable PDAC without PM received prophylactic HIPEC following pancreatic resection, with postoperative morbidity and mortality rates of 30% and 5%, and 5-year OS rates of 23-24%. Finally, eight patients with PDAC-derived peritoneal disease were converted to resectable disease after receiving neoadjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy and operated on with curative intent, achieving a median OS of 27.8 months. In conclusion, CRS with HIPEC for PDAC-derived PM appears to be safe, conferring the same postoperative morbidity and mortality as reported on non-pancreatic malignancies. In highly selected patients, it could be considered for short-term disease control. However, long-term survival remains poor. The addition of prophylactic HIPEC for resectable PDAC cannot be recommended.

REM-related obstructive sleep apnea (REM-OSA), as defined using revised apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) criteria, might represent a specific OSA phenotype. However, there is a lack of data on outcomes of treatment in this population. This study evaluated the effects of CPAP treatment over 12months on clinical outcomes for patients with the polysomnography phenotype of REM-OSA.

We conducted a prospective observational study with the following inclusion criteria subjective sleepiness and diagnostic polysomnography demonstrating AHI

≥15 events/h, AHI

<5 events/h, and ≥30min of REM sleep. Clinical outcomes assessed included Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), psychomotor vigilanc test reaction time (PVT-RT), and CPAP adherence at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months; Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) at baseline, 1, 3 and 12 months. The reason is the first 3 outcomes (ESS, PVT, adherence) were assessed at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, while the next 2tients with moderate to severe REM-OSA is associated with reduced sleepiness and improved quality of life.

Positional therapy has been described as add-on therapy to a mandibular advancement device, but the efficacy of combination of positional therapy and positive airway pressure (PPAP) has not been documented. We have found PPAP therapy as an effective method of titration in patients with difficult to treat OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).

This retrospective analysis was done in patients who had difficult to treat OSA, i.e., in whom titration in thesupine position was unacceptable with any PAP device (CPAP or bilevel PAP) and could only be successfully titrated with a PAP device in the lateral position. This study describes our experience of PPAP therapy. Baseline characteristics and polysomnography data of patients who were successfully titrated in supine v/s lateral positions were compared.

Of 272 consecutive patients with OSA selected for analysis, 218 patients (191 and 27 with CPAP and bilevel PAP, respectively) could be successfully titrated in supine position. Further 54 (20%) patients in whom titration in supine position was unacceptable were titrated in lateral position. Patients titrated with PAP in the lateral position therapy group had higher BMI, higher neck and waist circumference, and lower awake sPO

and nadir sPO

during sleep, and spent more time in sleep with sPO

< 90%.

Combination of positional therapy and PAP device is an effective way of titration for difficult to treat OSA patients. It can be tried in patients who fail titration in supine position.

This effect allowed increasing the hatching of turkey poults by 6.73% and the hatchability of eggs, by 4.43%. At the same time, a statistically significant decrease in the key lipid peroxidation products in one-day-old turkey poults was observed. check details In particular, the content of isolated double bonds decreased 1.47-fold (p less then 0.01); diene conjugates, 1.67-fold (p less then 0.01); triene conjugates, 1.46-fold (p less then 0.05); oxidiene conjugates, 1.48-fold (p less then 0.01); and Schiff bases, 1.3-fold compared to the control. All the above-mentioned positively affected survivability in the experimental group, which appeared to be increased by 1% compared to the control.The dental remains of the porcupine from the Pleistocene deposits of the Lang Trang cave in northern Vietnam are described. Previously, this porcupine was identified as Hystrix brachyura Linnaeus, 1758 or H. indica Kerr, 1792. Based on the analysis of morphometric data, the systematic position of the form from Lang Trang and other large Pleistocene porcupines of Vietnam is determined as Hystrix kiangsenensis Wang, 1931.The dental remains of a large badger collected in 2020 from the Pleistocene deposits of the Lang Trang karstic cave in northern Vietnam are described. The molars М1 and М1 exhibit the features that are characteristic of Arctonyx collaris Cuvier, 1825. At the same time, the length of M1 of the Lang Trang form exceeds that of modern greater hog badgers. Based on the size and structure of the teeth, it can be assigned to the subspecies A. c. rostratus Matthew et Granger, 1923 known from the Pleistocene of China and Southeast Asia.A dentary fragment of a great evening bat Ia io Thomas, 1902 found in 2020 in the Pleistocene deposits of the Lang Trang karstic cave in northern Vietnam is described. This rare species of large tropical bats now inhabits Nepal, eastern India, southern China, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam and as a fossil is known from the Pleistocene of China. In Vietnam the fossil remains of this species have been discovered for the first time. By the total size and lower molar structure, the specimen from the Lang Trang cave is most similar to the subspecies Ia io peninsulata Soisook et al., 2017 that now occurs in southern Thailand.This paper describes the maxillaries of adult specimens of saber-toothed cats Homotherium crenatidens (Fabrini, 1890) and Megantereon sp. from the Taurida Cave (Crimea, Late Villafranchian; age, 1.8-1.5 Ma). We discuss the morphometric variability in the morphology of the upper carnassials and the length of the С1-Р3 diastema.Phagocytic and cytochemical parameters of peripheral blood leukocytes in adult and 1.5-month-old harp seal pups were studied. Phagocytic number, proportion of phagocytic leukocytes, and phagocytic activity, average number of absorbed latex particles per leukocyte, were determined. Differences between groups of seals by average values of these indicators have not been revealed. A correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between the phagocytic activity of leukocytes and their glycogen content in adult seals (r = 0.89). Content of cationic bactericidal protein (CP) in leukocytes of adult animals was 10-12 times higher than in pups. Correlation of CP and eosinophil count in adults was high (r = 0.88). Adult had significantly more eosinophils than pups. The noted features can provide higher efficiency of phagocytosis and destruction of absorbed bacteria in adult seals as compared to pups, despite the high level of indicators of the first, absorbing, phase of phagocytosis in the latter.Personality traits of users can affect the success in controlling brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and the activity of right and left brain structures may differ depending on personality traits. Earlier, it was not known, how the success of BCI control with different personality traits is associated with interhemispheric asymmetry. In this work, the dependence of the success of imagination of movements, estimated by the success of recognition of EEG signals during imagination of hand movements compared to rest state, on the user's personal characteristics was studied. It is shown that in single control of BCI by naive subjects, recognition success in imagining right-hand (RH) movements was higher in expressive sensitive extroverts, and in imagining left-hand movements (LH) it was higher in practical, reserved, skeptical, and not very sociable persons. It is suggested that this phenomenon may be based on interhemispheric differences in dopamine level and in the way of encoding movement information.Immigration can improve economic status and access to education compared to the country of origin, but it challenges access to health and preventive care. Assess Brazilian immigrants' overall health conditions and dietary intake in New Jersey (US). This pilot study assessed health conditions and dietary intake. Brazilians immigrants were interviewed through their communities. Trained dietitians interviewed them using a questionnaire and three days of 24H recall. Dietary intake was analyzed using the Nutrition Data System for Research software. A sample of 118 individuals completed the protocol, majority female and overweight/obese, living in the US for 11.3 years with 21.1% declaring having Noncommunicable Diseases. The average number of daily meals was 2.20 ± 1.04. Energy intake does not correlate with time in the US. Obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension are the most prevalent Noncommunicable Diseases, demanding interventions that include managing saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium intake.Nociception Level Index (NOL) guided analgesia has previously been found to correlate with noxious stimuli during surgery. It was aim of this study to investigate the relationship between intra-operative NOL and acute postoperative pain. After IRB approval, 80 patients scheduled for non-emergency surgery were enrolled. NOL data were recorded from induction of anaesthesia until the end of surgery. After admission to the postoperative acute care unit (PACU), pain scores (numeric rating scale [NRS, 0-10] were obtained 5-minutely for 15 min. NOL data of 74 patients were analyzed. Receiver-operating curve (ROC) analysis identified the NOL reaction to the knife to skin incision (median NOL within 60 s post knife to skin) vs. the median NOL during surgery vs. NOL at the end of surgery to have the highest correlation coefficient (ρ = 0.3; P = 0.01) as well as the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC 0.68; P = 0.01) for the prediction of moderate-severe pain in PACU. A NOL > 20 after skin incision predicted moderate-severe postoperative pain with the highest combined sensitivity (73%) and specificity (58%). A NOL  less then  10 after skin incision excluded moderate-severe pain in PACU with a negative predictive value of 83%. The NOL reaction to skin incision, but not NOL during surgery appears to allow the exclusion and, to a lesser degree the prediction of moderate-severe pain in PACU. The results may also strengthen the manufacturers recommendation of an intraoperative NOL range of 10-25.Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12619001596190.
