[Breath metabolomic characteristics of schizophrenia and their potential for auxiliary diagnosis].

OBJECTIVES: The clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia (SCZ) primarily relies on psychiatrists' comprehensive judgment based on symptom assessment, medical history collection, and mental status examination. However, in the early stages of the disease, in cases with atypical symptom presentations, or when differentiation from other psychiatric disorders is required, diagnosis may be influenced by patients' subjective reporting, symptom fluctuations, and differences in evaluators' clinical experience. Detection of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a noninvasive, rapid, and repeatable app

Determination of a site-specific reference dose for methylmercury for fish-eating populations.

Environmental risk-management decisions in the U.S. involving potential exposures to methylmercury currently use a reference dose (RfD) developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This RfD is based on retrospective studies of an acute poisoning incident in Iraq in which grain contaminated with a methylmercury fungicide was inadvertently used in the baking of bread. The exposures, which were relatively high but lasted only a few months, were associated with neurological effects in both adults (primarily paresthesia) and infants (late walking, late talking, etc.). It is genera

Interventions for maintenance of surgically induced remission in Crohn's disease: a network meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic disease of the gut. About 75% of people with CD undergo surgery at least once in their lifetime to induce remission. However, as there is no known cure for the disease, patients usually experience a recurrence even after surgery. Different interventions are routinely used in maintaining postsurgical remission. There is currently no consensus on which treatment is the most effective. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects and harms of interventions for the maintenance of surgically induced remission in Crohn's disease and rank the treatments in order of

Multimorbidity adjusted years lost to disability rates calculated through Monte-Carlo simulation in Korea.

ObjectivesOBJECTIVES: To efficiently utilize limited health and medical resources, it is necessary to accurately measure the level of health, which requires estimating the multimorbidity-corrected burden of disease.MethodsMETHODS: This study used 2015 and 2016 data from the National Health Insurance Service, and employed the list of diseases defined in a Korean study of the burden of disease, the criteria for prevalence, and the "cause-sequelae-health state" disease system. When calculating the years lost to disability (YLD), multimorbidity was corrected using Monte-Carlo simulation.ResultsRES

Safety and toxicity of Iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) with external beam radiation therapy in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer: results of a phase 1 single-centre, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation and dose expansion study.

BACKGROUND: Re-irradiation of recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) is often limited by tumour adherence to critical structures and/or radiation tolerance of critical normal tissues. Iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) is a targeted small molecular phospholipid ether (PLE) drug conjugate that delivers iodine-131 selectively to tumour cells. We conducted a phase 1, single-centre, open-label study to determine whether CLR 131 given with reduced dose of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) would be tolerable and feasible. METHODS: All participants received previous curative intent treatment with radioth

Vasculopathy as a mechanical barrier to cancer spread: Clinical evidence and a rheology-based model in lung cancer and other solid tumors.

Metastatic dissemination in lung cancer (LC) and other solid tumors is influenced not only by tumor-intrinsic biology and immune-inflammatory responses, but also by the physical properties of the vascular system through which circulating tumor cells (CTCs) migrate. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), particularly when associated with aneurysmal dilation, is frequent among long-term smokers and is characterized by chronic vascular inflammation and altered hemodynamics. We hypothesized that PAD-related vascular remodeling and rheological alterations may influence tumor metastatic capacity. Throug

Macromolecular crowding: chemistry and physics meet biology (Ascona, Switzerland, 10-14 June 2012).

More than 60 years of biochemical and biophysical studies have accustomed us to think of proteins as highly purified entities that act in isolation, more or less freely diffusing until they find their cognate partner to bind to. While in vitro experiments that reproduce these conditions largely remain the only way to investigate the intrinsic properties of molecules, this approach ignores an important factor: in their natural milieu , proteins are surrounded by several other molecules of different chemical nature, and this crowded environment can considerably modify their behaviour. About 40%

Advances in Radionuclides and Radiolabelled Peptides for Cancer Therapeutics.

Radiopharmaceutical therapy, which can detect and treat tumours simultaneously, was introduced more than 80 years ago, and it has changed medical strategies with respect to cancer. Many radioactive radionuclides have been developed, and functional, molecularly modified radiolabelled peptides have been used to produce biomolecules and therapeutics that are vastly utilised in the field of radio medicine. Since the 1990s, they have smoothly transitioned into clinical application, and as of today, a wide variety of radiolabelled radionuclide derivatives have been examined and evaluated in various

Chemotherapy-based versus chemotherapy-free stem cell mobilization (± plerixafor) in multiple myeloma patients: an Italian cost-effectiveness analysis.

Given the availability and efficacy of the mobilizing agent plerixafor in augmenting hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), there is a strong case for comparing the cost-effectiveness of mobilization with G-CSF + cyclophosphamide versus G-CSF alone. This study investigated the cost and effectiveness (i.e., successful 4 million-CD34+ collection) of G-CSF alone versus high-dose cyclophosphamide (4 g/m2) + G-CSF mobilization (± on-demand plerixafor) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) eligible for autograft in Italy.

Симптомы расстройства питания при множественном склерозе: взаимосвязь между нейротикой, дисфункцией тела и самоэстеемом.

Предыстория/цели: Исследования нарушений питания (РУ) у лиц с множественным склерозом (МС) являются ограниченными. В популяциях эпидемиологов нейротицизм связан с симптомами эдактики из-за более низкой самооценки и большего недовольства телом, но эти отношения остаются неизученными в MS. Цель этого исследования заключалась в изучении вопроса о том, являются ли самоуважение и неудовлетворенность тела посредником в установлении связи между нейротикализмом и симптомами ЭД у отдельных лиц, имеющих MS. Методы: Нынешняя выборка состояла из 275 участников, которые сообщили о подтвержденном неврологом
