Pediatric anesthesia-related cardiac arrest is an uncommon but catastrophic adverse event which has been, in a previous study, associated with anesthesiologist-related factors such as number of days per year providing pediatric anesthesia. We aimed to replicate this and assess other anesthesiologist-related risk factors for anesthesia-related cardiac arrest after adjusting for known underlying risk factors present in the case mix.

We analyzed a large retrospectively collected patient cohort of anesthetics administered from 2006 to 2016 to children at a tertiary pediatric hospital. Three reviewers independently reviewed cardiac arrests and categorized whether they appeared to be related to anesthesia care. Anesthesiologist-related factors including academic rank, experience, recent case mix, and days per year delivering pediatric anesthesia were assessed for association with anesthesia-related cardiac arrest after adjustment for underlying case mix.

Cardiac arrest occurred in 240 of 109775 anesthetics (incidence 22/10000 anesthetics); 82 (7/10000 anesthetics) were classified as anesthesia-related. In univariable analyses, anesthesia-related cardiac arrest was associated with age, (infants ≤180days, p<.001) American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status, (>2, p<.001) American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Emergency, (p=.0035) cardiac surgery, (p<.001) operating room location, (p=.0066) and resident/fellow supervision, (p=.009) but none of the anesthesiologist factors. Even after adjusting for age and American Society of Anesthesiologist Status, none of the anesthesiologist factors were associated with anesthesia-related cardiac arrest.

Case mix explained all associations between higher risk of pediatric anesthesia-related cardiac arrest and anesthesiologist-related variables at our institution.

In particular, DNA strand displacement reactions have enabled the development of an impressive repertoire of molecular devices with complex functionalities. Ipatasertib By relying on DNA to function, dynamic strand displacement devices represent powerful tools for the interrogation and manipulation of biological systems. Yet, implementation in living systems has been a slow process due to several persistent challenges, including nuclease degradation. link2 To circumvent these issues, researchers are increasingly turning to chemically modified nucleotides as a means to increase device performance and reliability within harsh biological environments. In this review, we summarize recent progress toward the integration of chemically modified nucleotides with DNA strand displacement reactions, highlighting key successes in the development of robust systems and devices that operate in living cells and in vivo. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of commonly employed modifications as they pertain to DNA strand displacement, as well as considerations that must be taken into account when applying modified oligonucleotide to living cells. Finally, we explore how chemically modified nucleotides fit into the broader goal of bringing dynamic DNA nanotechnology into the cell, and the challenges that remain.

Many men are challenged by barriers to mental health help-seeking and engagement. For men who do access care, their pathways to engaging services can offer important insights to what might constitute gender-specific care.

Data were drawn from an online cross-sectional survey of N=2009 Australian men (aged 16-85; M=43.5) reflecting on their initial pathways to mental health services, including their reasons for help-seeking, how they first located a therapist and the source of any initial recommendation for engaging with services. Respondents were recruited with targeted advertisements via Movember's Facebook page.

A relatively even age distribution was observed, with most respondents residing in metropolitan areas (60.4%), a majority employed full time (47.7%), and 25.7% identifying as gay or bisexual. Participants tended to be self-motivated to seek help, with referrals by general practitioners to specialist mental health services. The most common underpinning precipitant for seeking help was anxiety, particularly for younger men, whereas older men tended to have sought help more commonly for familial, relationship or work-related factors. Older men were also more likely to report self-motivated help-seeking, whereas younger men more commonly sought help on the recommendation of a family member.

There are varied pathways for men's initial mental health help-seeking journeys that require an ongoing examination to ensure health promotion efforts are appropriately tailored and responding to men's needs.

As more men access mental health services, having a nuanced understanding of their likely pathways to care can inform the help-seeking efforts of other men as well as guide improved services and systems to reduce barriers.

Many pain scales are used post-operatively in pediatric trials, making the comparison of trials, and the pooling of data for meta-analyses difficult. The Pediatric Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (PedIMMPACT) statement, published in 2008, attempted to address this issue. We aimed to investigate the reasons for authors' choice of pain scales and the potential impact of PedIMMPACT.

We performed a cross-sectional analysis of systematically searched randomized controlled trials testing tramadol in children (up to 16years) undergoing surgery, published between 2000 and 2020 (9years prior to and 12years following the publication of PedIMMPACT).

Among 76 trials (6211 children), 49 unique pain scales were used. The choice of the scales was explained in 18 trials (24%); in 13 of them, authors at least partly justified their choice by the fact that the pain scale was validated. In 52 trials (68%), the pain scales were referenced, with a total of 59 unique references, mosoice of pain scale. The reasons given most often included that the scale was validated or it was justified by a reference to a prior study using that scale. link3 The impact of the publication of the PedIMMPACT seems limited. The ethics of the ongoing usage of large numbers of pain scales in pediatric pain trials must be challenged.Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) exists as a spectrum ranging from simple steatosis to histologically defined hepatocyte injury and inflammatory changes that define steatohepatitis (NASH), and increase risk for fibrosis. Although zonal differences in NASH have not been systematically studied, periportal involvement has been associated with worse metabolic outcomes and more hepatic fibrosis as compared to pericentral disease. These data suggest that hepatic zonation of disease may influence the diversity of clinical presentations. Similarly, several randomized clinical trials suggest a differential response based on zonation of disease, with preferential effects on periportal (cysteamine) or pericentral disease (obeticholic acid, pioglitazone). Intriguingly, morphogenic pathways known to affect zonal development and maintenance - WNT/β-Catenin, Hedgehog, HIPPO/Yap/TAZ and Notch - have been implicated in NASH pathogenesis, and nuclear hormone receptors downstream of potential NASH therapeutics show zonal preferences. In this review, we summarize these data and propose that patient-specific activation of these pathways may explain the variability in clinical presentation, and the zone-specific response observed in clinical trials.Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder among the elderly, the diagnostic and prognostic of which is based mostly on clinical signs. LevoDopa replacement is the gold standard therapy for PD, as it ameliorates the motor symptoms. However, it does not affect the progression of the disease and its long-term use triggers severe complications. There are no bona fide biomarkers for monitoring the patients' response to LevoDopa and predicting the efficacy of levodopa treatment. Here, we have combined qPCR microRNA array screening with analysis of validated miRs in naïve versus Levodopa-treated PD patients. We have identified plasma miR-19b as a possible biomarker for LevoDopa therapy and validated this result in human differentiated dopaminergic neurons exposed to LevoDopa. In silico analysis suggests that the LevoDopa-induced miR-19b regulates ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis.

To evaluate the correlation between the pallidal local field potentials (LFPs) activity and the cortical oscillations (at rest and during several motor tasks) in two freely moving patients with generalized dystonia and pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Two women with isolated generalized dystonia were selected for bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) DBS. After the electrodes' implantation, cortical activity was recorded by a portable electroencephalography (EEG) system simultaneously with GPi LFPs activity, during several motor tasks, gait, and rest condition. Recordings were not performed during stimulation. EEG and LFPs signals relative to each specific movement were coupled together and grouped in neck/upper limbs movements and gait. Power spectral density (PSD), EEG-LFP coherence (through envelope of imaginary coherence operator), and 1/f exponent of LFP-PSD background were calculated.

In both patients, the pallidal LFPs PSD at rest was characterized by prominent 4-12Hz activity. Voluntary movements increased activity in the theta (θ) band (4-7 Hz) compared to rest, in both LFPs and EEG signals. Gait induced a drastic raise of θ activity in both patients' pallidal activity, less marked for the EEG signal. A coherence peak within the 8-13Hz range was found between pallidal LFPs and EEG recorded at rest.

Neck/upper limbs voluntary movements and gait suppressed the GPi-LFPs-cortical-EEG coherence and differently impacted both EEG and LFPs low frequency activity. These findings suggest a selective modulation of the cortico-basal ganglia network activity in dystonia.
