ctice to provide improved patient-centered care.A β-Cyclodextrin covalent organic framework (β-CD COF) was successfully prepared under ambient temperature with a mild chemistry strategy from heptakis(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin and terephthalaldehyde. It was embedded into the poly[(glycidyl methacrylate)-co-(ethylene dimethacrylate)] [poly(GMA-co-EDMA)] monolith and served as the β-CD COF material-incorporated monolith. The synthetic materials were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray mapping analysis, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The β-CD COF material-incorporated monolith achieved baseline separation in capillary electrochromatographic separation of three amides, three amino acids, three nucleosides, four aromatic acids, and three positional isomers (with resolution values of three amides, 1.75 and 1.54; three amino acids, 5.24 and 1.75; three nucleosides, 2.56 and 1.77; four aromatic acids,system for separating small molecules.Introduction The Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors tofacitinib and baricitinib are new treatments for rheumatic diseases. Recent concerns regarding the risk of thrombosis have led to warnings by competent authorities. We therefore aimed to examine the thromboembolic safety signal for tofacitinib and baricitinib. Methods Individual case safety reports (ICSRs) for tofacitinib and baricitinib were retrieved from the World Health Organization global database VigiBase in April 2019. Primary outcomes were deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thrombosis (PT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). Patient demographics were summarized and then stratified by outcome. Disproportionality analyses were conducted by estimating the reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) worldwide, and stratified by either Europe or the US. Nobiletin mw Results In both the tofacitinib (n = 40,017) and baricitinib (n = 2138) ICSRs, patients with reported DVT or PT/PE were older and had higher reporting of prothrombotic medications or antithrombotic treatments, suggesting a pre-existing thromboembolic risk/event. In Europe, tofacitinib was associated with increased reporting for DVT (ROR 2.37, 95% CI 1.23-4.56) and PT/PE (ROR 2.38. 95% CI 1.45-3.89). For baricitinib, a threefold increased reporting odds was observed for DVT (ROR 3.47, 95% CI 2.18-5.52) and PT/PE (ROR 3.44, 95% CI 2.43-4.88) in Europe. In the US, tofacitinib was only associated with an elevated ROR of PT (ROR 2.05, 95% CI 1.45-2.90) and no baricitinib ICSRs were reported. Conclusion This study supports the current recommendation for cautious use of tofacitinib in patients with high thromboembolic risk. Moreover, with a similar patient profile and elevated reporting for baricitinib, a potential class effect of JAK inhibitors cannot be ruled out.Purpose Despite the increasing use of GnRHa to trigger final oocyte maturation in segmented IVF cycles, the effects of trigger modality on chromosomal competence and embryo quality remain controversial. Hence, the purpose of this study was to compare euploidy rates and pregnancy outcomes among hyper-responding women using hCG versus GnRHa trigger. Methods This retrospective study included 333 hyper-responders, defined as >15 oocytes retrieved, who underwent preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) in segmented IVF cycles using either GnRHa or urinary hCG trigger. Live birth rate (LBR) was the primary outcome of interest. Implantation rate (IR), clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), and euploidy rate were secondary outcomes. Results GnRH triggering was associated with improved IR (70.5 vs. 53.2%, p = 0.0475), LBR (51.3 vs. 33.8%, p = 0.0170) compared to hCG. A greater number of oocytes were retrieved (21.9 vs 18.4%, p less then 0.001) and euploid embryos produced (2.8 vs. 2.1, p = 0.0109) after GnRHa triggering, while higher euploidy rates were only observed among women less then 35-years-old (62.0 vs. 51.7%, p = 0.0307) using GnRHa trigger. Higher OHSS rates were observed after hCG triggering (10.6 vs. 2.1%, p = 0.0009). Conclusion Hyper-responders who received GnRHa trigger experienced improved pregnancy outcomes and lower rates of OHSS compared to hCG triggering. The higher number of oocytes retrieved and euploid embryos produced may reflect an improved developmental competence using GnRHa triggering due to physiologic induction of both LH and FSH surge or other undefined mechanisms that improve embryo development. However, higher overall euploid rates were only observed among women less then 35-years-old using the GnRHa trigger. Further prospective studies are required to validate this observation and evaluate the specific influence of different ovulation triggers on gamete developmental competence among hyper-responder women.Purpose To report a live birth after transfer of a vitrified-warmed blastocyst produced by assisted sperm fusion insemination (ASFI). Methods Oocyte retrieval and in vitro fertilization (IVF) were performed on a 37-year-old woman. Six hours after IVF, an oocyte exhibited a single polar body and so was defined as an unfertilized oocyte. A motile sperm was collected from the zona pellucida of the unfertilized oocyte by an injection needle. The motile sperm was pressed onto the membrane of the unfertilized oocyte. Results Two oocytes were matured and subjected to IVF. One of the 2 oocytes exhibited only one polar body and was defined as an unfertilized oocyte at 6 h after IVF; this oocyte then was subjected to ASFI. Two pronuclei were observed on the next day and cultured to the blastocyst stage. This embryo achieved blastocyst status and was vitrified on day 5. The resulting vitrified-warmed blastocyst was transferred, resulting in pregnancy and subsequent delivery of a healthy boy. Conclusion This report describes the first case of a successful birth following transfer of a vitrified-warmed blastocyst produced by ASFI.Background Pharmacists have a key role to play in identifying and responding to emerging clinical problems with prescribed opioids. A pilot study in Australia examined the implementation of screening and brief intervention (Routine Opioid Outcome Monitoring [ROOM]) to identify and respond to opioid-related problems in community pharmacies. In this implementation study, the rate of screening varied considerably between pharmacies. Objective The aim of this study was to examine pharmacist characteristics associated with implementation of ROOM. Setting Community pharmacies in Victoria and New South Wales, Australia. Methods We implemented a validated computer-facilitated screening (ROOM), combined with brief intervention for opioid-related problems based on a widely accepted framework for monitoring outcomes. In this analysis, we examined the correlates of ROOM completion for individual pharmacists. Negative binomial regression was used to identify baseline predictors of greater screening, with the number of ROOM screens as the dependent (outcome) variable and pharmacist demographics, knowledge, confidence and comfort responding to prescription opioids problems, and attitudes towards evidence based practice examined as independent (predictor) variables.
