After treatment of intrauterine adhesions, the rate of re-adhesion is high and the pregnancy outcome unpredictable and unsatisfactory. This study established and verified a decision tree predictive model of live birth in patients after surgery for moderate-to-severe intrauterine adhesions (IUAs).

A retrospective observational study initially comprised 394 patients with moderate-to-severe IUAs diagnosed via hysteroscopy. The patients underwent hysteroscopic adhesiolysis from January 2013 to January 2017, in a university-affiliated hospital. Follow-ups to determine the rate of live birth were conducted by telephone for at least the first postoperative year. A classification and regression tree algorithm was applied to establish a decision tree model of live birth after surgery.

Within the final population of 374 patients, the total live birth rate after treatment was 29.7%. The accuracy of the model was 83.8%, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.870 (95% CI 7.699-0.989). The root node variable was postoperative menstrual pattern. The predictive accuracy of the multivariate logistic regression model was 70.3%, and the AUC was 0.835 (95% CI 0.667-0.962).

The decision tree predictive model is useful for predicting live birth after surgery for IUAs; postoperative menstrual pattern is a key factor in the model. This model will help clinicians make appropriate clinical decisions during patient consultations.

Migraine is a common neurovascular disorder that has a severe impact on the individual daily life. Atogepant (AGN-241689) is an orally ingested, small-molecule drugs belonging to calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, which has been initiated for the prophylactic treatment of migraine. However, there is no comprehensive literature to study the efficacy and safety of atogepant for the treatment of migraine. In this article, we present a meta-analysis of the available studies.

MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched before October 20, 2021 for any relevant literature. Eventually, three randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with 2,466 patients were included in our study.

We pooled 2,466 patients from 3 RCTs and primaryoutcome was mean monthly migraine days, the secondary endpoints were monthly headache days, acute medication use days per month and ≥ 50% reduction in monthly migraine days, baseline to end of trials. It was found that atogepant (10mg, 30mg, 60mg once a day) led to a significant reduction in monthly migraine days (P < 0.00001, P < 0.00001, P = 0.007), monthly headache days (P < 0.00001, P < 0.00001, P = 0.001), and monthly medication use days (P < 0.00001, P < 0.00001, P = 0.0001), and an increase in the proportion of people with ≥ 50% reduction in monthly migraine days (P = 0.0008, P = 0.02, P = 0.04) in comparison with placebo. Moreover, there were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in outcomes of adverse events between atogepant and placebo.

Atogepant has shown good efficacy and safety in the prophylactic treatment of migraine, and further studies are expected.

Surveillance testing within healthcare facilities provides an opportunity to prevent severe outbreaks of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the quantitative impact of different available surveillance strategies and their potential to decrease the frequency of outbreaks are not well-understood.

We establish an individual-based model representative of a mental health hospital yielding generalizable results. Attributes and features of this facility were derived from a prototypical hospital, which provides psychiatric, psychosomatic and psychotherapeutic treatment. We estimate the relative reduction of outbreak probability for three test strategies (entry test, once-weekly test and twice-weekly test) relative to a symptom-based baseline strategy. Based on our findings, we propose determinants of successful surveillance measures.

Entry Testing reduced the outbreak probability by 26%, additionally testing once or twice weekly reduced the outbreak probability by 49% or 67% respectively. We found that fast diagnostic test results and adequate compliance of the clinic population are mandatory for conducting effective surveillance. The robustness of these results towards uncertainties is demonstrated via comprehensive sensitivity analyses.

We conclude that active testing in mental health hospitals and similar facilities considerably reduces the number of COVID-19 outbreaks compared to symptom-based surveillance only.

Little information is available on current practice in beta-lactam dosing during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). selleck chemical Optimized dosing is essential for improving outcomes, and there is no consensus on the appropriate dose regimens. The objective of the present study was to describe current practice for beta-lactam dosing during CRRT in intensive care units (ICUs).

We conducted a nationwide survey by e-mailing an online questionnaire to physicians working in ICUs in France. The questionnaire included three sections demographic characteristics, CRRT practices, and beta-lactam dosing regimens during CRRT.

157 intensivists completed the questionnaire. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration was the most frequently used CRRT technique, and citrate was the most regularly used anticoagulant. The median prescribed dose at baseline was 30 mL/kg/h. The majority of prescribers (57%) did not reduce beta-lactam dosing during CRRT. The tools were used to adapt dosing regimens during CRRT included guidelines, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), and data from the literature. When TDM was used, 100% T > 4 time the MIC was the most common mentioned pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target (53%). Pharmacokinetic software tools were rarely used. Prolonged or continuous infusions were widely used during CRRT (88%). Institutional guidelines on beta-lactam dosing during CRRT were rare. 41% of physicians sometimes consulted another specialist before adapting the dose of antibiotic during CRRT.

Our present results highlight the wide range of beta-lactam dosing practices adopted during CRRT. Personalized TDM and the implementation of Bayesian software appear to be essential for optimizing beta-lactam dosing regimens and improving patient outcomes.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a malignant infectious disease with high mortality caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, and up to now there are no curable drugs or effective vaccines. In order to understand AIDS's development trend, we establish hybrid EMD-BPNN (empirical modal decomposition and Back-propagation artificial neural network model) model to forecast new HIV infection in Dalian and to evaluate model's performance.

The monthly HIV data series are decomposed by EMD method, and then all decomposition results are used as training and testing data to establish BPNN model, namely BPNN was fitted to each IMF (intrinsic mode function) and residue separately, and the predicted value is the sum of the predicted values from the models. Meanwhile, using yearly HIV data to established ARIMA and using monthly HIV data to established BPNN, and SARIMA (seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average) model to compare the predictive ability with EMD-BPNN model.

From 2004 to 2017, 3310 cases of HIV were reported in Dalian, including 101 fatal cases. The monthly HIV data series are decomposed into four relatively stable IMFs and one residue item by EMD, and the residue item showed that the incidence of HIV increases firstly after declining. The mean absolute percentage error value for the EMD-BPNN, BPNN, SARIMA (1,1,2) (0,1,1)

in 2018 is 7.80%, 10.79%, 9.48% respectively, and the mean absolute percentage error value for the ARIMA (3,1,0) model in 2017 and 2018 is 8.91%.

The EMD-BPNN model was effective and reliable in predicting the incidence of HIV for annual incidence, and the results could furnish a scientific reference for policy makers and health agencies in Dalian.

Whilst cranial autonomic symptoms (CAS) are typically associated with trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TAC's), they have also been reported in migraine. Identification and understanding of these symptoms in migraine is important to ensure timely diagnosis and effective management.

Migraineurs seen in a tertiary headache service between 2014 and 2018 (n= 340) cohort one, and a separate cohort of headache patients seen between 2014-May 2021 reporting voice change, or throat swelling, or both, as CAS were selected (n= 64) cohort two. We performed a service evaluation of our records regarding age, sex, diagnosis, headache and CAS frequency and laterality as acquired from the first consultation, during which a detailed headache history is taken by a headache trained physician.

Cohort 1 Mean age 43 (range 14-94, SD 15). The most common diagnosis was chronic migraine (78%). Median monthly headache frequency was 26 days (IQR 15-75). At least one CAS was reported in 74%, with a median of two (IQR 0-3). The mos of throat swelling (χ



= 7.59, P= 0.013) and voice change (χ



= 6.49, P= 0.02) with aural fullness.

CAS are common in migraine, are associated with increasing headache frequency and tend to lateralise with headache. Voice change and throat swelling should be recognized as possible parasympathetically-mediated CAS. They may be co-associated and associated with aural fullness, suggesting a broadly somatotopic endophenotype.

Antenatal care is an essential platform to provide all the necessary health interventions during pregnancy that aim to reduce maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. Although the antenatal care coverage has been increasing in Ethiopia in the last two decades, the country has not been able to meet its own coverage target to date. Most pregnant women who initiated antenatal care also do not complete the full recommended follow up contacts. This study investigated the trend in coverage and the inequalities related to the use of antenatal care in Ethiopia.

This study utilized data from five rounds of Demographic and Health Surveys (DHSs) conducted in Ethiopia in the period between 2000 and 2019. The DHS respondents were women in the age group 15-49 who had a live birth within the five years preceding the surveys. The outcome of interest for this study was antenatal care utilization coverage. We used concentration curve and concentration index to identify the inequalities using the World Health Organization recommended Health Equity Analysis Toolkit software.
