Conclusions Statin use among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains suboptimal because of various patient- and clinician-related factors. The development of a decision aid to facilitate discussion of SASEs, clinician decision-making, and SASE management may improve statin use in this high-risk population.

Cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCA) comprehend around 5% of all intracranial aneurysms. The main risk factors for an intracranial aneurysm seem not to influence the incidence of CCAs. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of CCAs and the presence of upstream aneurysms.

1403 patients, admitted in Hospital das Clinicas de São Paulo, Brazil, from September 2009 to August 2018, enrolled this study. Diagnosis was performed with Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA). Upstream aneurysm was defined as an intracranial aneurysm on anterior cerebral circulation, ipsilateral to the CCA (if present) or crossing the midline (e.g. anterior communicating artery).

177 individuals were diagnosed with CCA (12.6% of the population), totalizing 225 aneurysms (10% of the total number of aneurysms, 2253). No association was found between CCA and UA (

.090, OR 1.323, 95% CI 0.957-1.828). Studying only patients with CCA, multivariable analysis showed smoking as the only factor associated with UA (

.010, OR 0.436, 95% CI 0.232-0.821).

Cavernous carotid aneurysms were present in 12% of our population, mostly in female. They seem to be independent of the modifiable risk factors already associated with intracranial aneurysms. #link# A higher frequency of mirror aneurysms was seen in this location. CCA did not influence the presence of ipsilateral and anterior circulation aneurysms.

LMK-235 chemical structure and menu labelling have been increasingly implemented worldwide. This research examines the effect of nutrition information provision on the immediate and subsequent consumption decisions of restrained and unrestrained eaters.

We conducted three scenario-based experiments. In Study 1 (

 = 478) and Study 2 (

 = 199), we manipulated the availability of nutrition information and measured dietary restraint. Study 3 (

 = 275) extended Study 2 by adding a condition where we provided reference information about recommended daily calories.

We measured choices between relatively low-calorie and high-calorie alternatives (Studies 1-3) and measured a subsequent decision to consume indulgent food (Studies 2 and 3).

Nutrition information did not generally affect choices between low-calorie and high-calorie options, irrespective of dietary restraint. However, restrained eaters who chose a high-calorie option in the presence of nutrition information indicated they would reduce subsequent intake.

Nutrition information does not necessarily reduce the choice of relatively high-calorie food, but it can help restrained eaters reduce subsequent intake after a high-calorie choice. These results suggest that despite not having an immediate effect on choices, nutrition and menu labelling may benefit restrained eaters at a later time.

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the short- and long-term effectiveness of ixekizumab and secukinumab in clinical practice. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on a cohort of 245 psoriatic patients receiving secukinumab or ixekizumab during the period from September 2016 to December 2019. The proportion of patients achieving PASI75, PASI90, and PASI100 at weeks 12 and 24 was calculated. We recorded the 12- and 24-month drug survival as a measure to assess long-term effectiveness. Results A higher proportion of patients in the secukinumab group achieved PASI75, 90, and 100 at 12 weeks. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve for any reason of discontinuation showed no differences between the two groups. link2 Instead, the multivariate analysis for ineffectiveness, adjusted for potential confounders, showed a lower drug survival rate in the secukinumab group, with an adjusted HR of 2.57 (95% CI 1.05-6.28, p 0.038). Conclusion This real-life study demonstrated that ixekizumab and secukinumab are both highly effective in short- and long-term treatment of psoriasis, even though few differences exist concerning speed of action and long-term effectiveness.

The methanol extracts from

(L'Hér.) Herb. (Amaryllidaceae) (HR) display acetylcholinesterase inhibitory (AChEI) activity.

AChEI of alkaloids isolated from HR bulbs and the ameliorating effects of the alkaloid fraction (AHR) on memory and cognitive dysfunction in scopolamine-treated mice were investigated.

Alkaloids were isolated by column chromatography and identified by spectroscopy. AChEI was evaluated using the modified Ellman's method. Sixty Swiss male mice were randomly divided into six groups, received samples for 15days. Normal group received saline, scopolamine-treated group scopolamine (1.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection). Test groups received AHR (5, 10 and 15 mg/kg, per os) and positive control group donepezil (5 mg/kg, per os), administered 1 h before the test, scopolamine was injected 30 min prior to testing. The cognitive-enhancing activity of AHR against scopolamine-induced memory impairments was investigated using Y-maze, the novel object recognition test (NORT) and the Morris wateror treatment of memory and cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.

AHR could be a potential candidate of future trials for treatment of memory and cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.

We compared the clinical characteristics, findings, and outcomes of hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or influenza to detect relevant differences.

From December 2019 to April 2020, we recruited all eligible hospitalized adults with respiratory infection to a prospective observational study at a tertiary care hospital in Finland. Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections were confirmed by RT-PCR. Follow-up lasted for 3months from admission.

We included 61 patients, of whom 28 were COVID-19 and 33 influenza patients with median ages of 53 and 56years. Majority of both COVID-19 and influenza patients were men (61% vs. 67%) and had at least one comorbidity (68% vs. 85%). Pulmonary diseases and current smoking were less common among COVID-19 than influenza patients (5 [18%] vs. link3 15 [45%],

=.03 and 1 [4%] vs. 10 [30%],

=.008). In chest X-ray at admission, ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and consolidations were more frequent among COVID-19 than influenza patients (19 [68%] and 7 [21%],

<.001). Severe disease and intensive care unit (ICU) admission occurred more often among COVID-19 than influenza patients (26 [93%] vs. 19 [58%],

=.003 and 8 [29%] vs. 2 [6%],

=.034). COVID-19 patients were hospitalized longer than influenza patients (sixdays [IQR 4-21] vs. 3 [2-4],

<.001).

Bilateral GGOs and consolidations in chest X-ray may help to differentiate COVID-19 from influenza. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients had more severe disease, required longer hospitalization and were admitted to ICU more often than influenza patients, which has important implications for public health policies.

Materials and Methods Forty-nine male soccer players were divided into three groups cognitive-based neuromuscular training (CBNT; n = 16; age = 16.93 ± 1.18 years; body mass index [BMI] = 21.37 ± 1.57 kg/m2) group, GBT (n = 17; age = 17.05 ± 1.39 years; BMI = 21.10 ± 0.97 kg/m2) group, and control group (n = 16; age = 16.75 ± 1.12 years; BMI = 21.95 ± 1.36 kg/m2). The athletes in CBNT and GBT groups took part in one session lasting 1 hour. The Star Excursion Balance Test and the Speed Dribbling Test were used to evaluate DB and SP, respectively. The measurements were taken just before and after the trainings. Statistical analysis of the study was performed using SPSS 22.0 software (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, Inc., Chicago, IL). The Paired Student's t-test and Wilcoxon test were used. For in-group evaluation the ANOVA test was used for comparisons between the three groups. The Tukey's test was used for post hoc analysis. Results DB significantly improved in all directions in the GBT group (P  less then  0.05). Also, significant improvements were observed in DB in all directions except anterior, anterolateral, and anteromedial in the CBNT group, and except anterior, medial, and anteromedial directons in the control group (P  less then  0.05). SP significantly developed just in the CBNT and GBT groups (P = 0.001, P = 0.003, respectively). CBNT and GBT improved the DB of soccer players by 9.6% and 9.5%, respectively. Also, trainings improved the SP by 3.1% and 2.6%, respectively. Conclusion CBNT and GBT are promising trainings that can improve DB and SP of healthy young soccer players. Trial number NCT03739658 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier).Mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b and d-loop sequences (1,984 bp) from 92 specimens of the freshwater goby Rhinogobius delicatus from seven drainages in East Taiwan were identified as two major lineages exhibiting a southern or northern distribution. The existence of low genetic diversity, a pattern of population decline and high population differentiation (FST=0.711) support the need for the development of management strategies for the conservation of localized populations. The results of a statistical dispersal-vicariance analysis suggested that the ancestral populations of R. delicatus were widely distributed in East Taiwan. Compared with the phylogeographic patterns of the other endemic eastern Taiwan freshwater fishes, Onychostoma alticorpus, Aphyocypris kikuckii and Hemimyzon taitungensis, our study suggests that the freshwater fishes colonized East Taiwan through northeastern and southwestern Taiwan, although the ancestral populations colonized the island before it reached its present shape.
