High Expression of Yes-activated Protein-1 in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Correlates With Poor Prognosis.

The Hippo signal transduction pathway is highly conserved in mammals. It plays a critical role in tissue and organ size by regulating the balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, there have been few reports concerning Yes-activated protein-1 (YAP-1) elevation in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The objective of this study was to determine whether YAP-1 expression is a biomarker and high-risk clinicopathologic prognosticator in PTC. A large series of patients of PTC with a long follow-up were investigated for YAP-1 expression. Our study was carried out in the laboratory of breast and thyroid and Department of pathology. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on 240 patient-derived PTC specimens to analyze the correlation of YAP-1 expression with clinicopathologic features and prognosis in patients with PTC. The 240 PTC patients were immunohistochemically assessed for YAP-1 expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to assess recurrence-free survival (RFS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine prognosticators of RFS. YAP-1 expression was observed in 62.1% of PTC tumors. There were significant positive correlations between YAP-1 expression and tumor size, lymph node metastases, extrathyroidal extension, and tissue infiltration. YAP-1 expression was significantly associated with RFS. Univariate analysis revealed that YAP-1 expression significantly affects RFS. YAP-1 and extrathyroidal extension were significant independent prognosticators for RFS. YAP-1 expression was significantly correlated with high-risk clinicopathologic features and inferior RFS in patients with PTC.

HIV-1 Drug Resistance Among Ugandan Adults Attending an Urban Out-Patient Clinic.

Little is known about prevalence of drug resistance among HIV-infected Ugandans, a setting with over 15 years of public sector access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and where virological monitoring was only recently introduced. This study was conducted in the adults' out-patient clinic of the Infectious Diseases Institute, Kampala, Uganda. HIV genotyping was performed in ART-naive patients and in treatment-experienced patients on ART for ≥6 months with virological failure (≥1000 copies/mL). A total of 152 ART-naive and 2430 ART-experienced patients were included. Transmitted drug resistance was detected in 9 (5.9%) patients. After a median time on ART of 4.7 years [interquartile range: 2.5-8.7], 190 patients (7.8%) had virological failure with a median viral load of 4.4 log10 copies per milliliter (interquartile range: 3.9-4.9). In addition, 146 patients had a viral load between 51 and 999 copies per milliliter. Most patients with virological failure (142, 74.7%) were on first-line ART. For 163 (85.8%) ART-experienced patients, genotype results were available. Relevant drug-resistance mutations were observed in 135 (82.8%), of which 103 (63.2%) had resistance to 2 drug classes, and 11 (6.7%) had resistance to all drug classes available in Uganda. The prevalence of transmitted drug resistance was lower than recently reported by the WHO. With 92% of all patients virologically suppressed on ART, the prevalence of virological failure was low when a cutoff of 1000 copies per milliliter is applied, and is in line with the third of the 90-90-90 UNAIDS targets. However, most failing patients had developed multiclass drug resistance.

Subcutaneous Mastectomy Improves Satisfaction with Body and Psychosocial Function in Trans Men: Findings of a Cross-Sectional Study Using the BODY-Q Chest Module.

The effectiveness of gender-confirming surgery is best evaluated on the basis of patient-reported outcomes. This is the first explorative study using the BODY-Q chest module, administered in trans men before and after mastectomy. Between October of 2016 and May of 2017, trans men were recruited to participate in a cross-sectional study. Data collection included standardized anamnesis and examination, screening questions on depression/anxiety, and seven BODY-Q scales, including new scales measuring satisfaction of the chest and nipples. Mean scores for preoperative and postoperative participants were compared, and regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with BODY-Q scores. In total, 101 persons participated (89 percent; 50 preoperatively and 51 postoperatively). Postoperative participants reported significantly higher (better) scores on the chest (67), nipple (58), body (58) (t tests, all p < 0.001), and psychological (60) (t test, p = 0.05) scales compared with preoperative patients. Postoperative chest and nipple mean scores did not differ significantly from a gynecomastia comparison, whereas scores were less favorable on the psychosocial domains. Preoperatively, chest scores were not associated with objective breast size. Lower postoperative chest scores were associated with planned revision surgery (β = -0.52) and depressive symptoms (β = -0.59). The present findings indicate that chest and nipple satisfaction differences in trans men undergoing mastectomy can be detected using the BODY-Q chest module. Future prospective studies are needed to measure clinical change in satisfaction and how this relates to changes in other aspects of health-related quality of life.

Nurses' and Physicians' Perceptions of Indwelling Urinary Catheter Practices and Culture in Their Institutions.

Indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) are commonly used devices in acute care that may lead to catheter-associated urinary tract infections or noninfectious complications. Responsibilities for IUC are usually shared between nurses and physicians, and a common mental model among the two professional groups is thus essential for a successful reduction in catheter use. The aim of this study was to determine variation in the perceptions of current practices and culture regarding IUC use between these two groups. Nurses and physicians (N = 1579) from seven Swiss hospitals completed a written survey on safe IUC use in their institution. The survey assessed participant's perceptions of current practices and culture in their institution, and their perceived responsibilities related to IUC care. t tests and logistic regression were used to examine differences in responses between physicians and nurses. Nurses and physicians each have their own tasks but also share responsibilities for catheter placement, care, and removal. Overall, nurses were more positive than physicians about current practices and culture regarding IUC use within their institution (mean scale scores = 5.4 for nurses versus 5.1 for physicians, P < 0.001). Perceptions of the two professional groups diverged most strongly on practices to avoid unnecessary placement of IUCs, the presence of shared values and attitudes in support of restrictive catheter use, and the other group's leadership commitment. Indwelling urinary catheter management is a strong interprofessional domain and a shared responsibility. It is crucial that measures to raise awareness and to communicate new standards target both nurses and physicians and are discussed in interprofessional formats.

PARACENTRAL ACUTE MIDDLE MACULOPATHY AFTER PREWORKOUT HAVOK INGESTION.

To describe a case of transient, partial, central retinal artery occlusion with paracentral acute middle maculopathy optical coherence tomography presentation in a young healthy patient after ingestion of the synephrine-containing supplement, Havok. Retrospective case report with fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. A 20-year-old man presented with severe acute vision loss in the right eye. Dilated examination demonstrated cherry red spot with surrounding edema in the macula. Optical coherence tomography showed hyperreflectivity in the middle retinal layer of the macula consistent with paracentral acute middle maculopathy. Fluorescein angiography showed delayed arteriovenous transit time consistent with a central retinal artery occlusion. Bloodwork to investigate a hypercoagulable state and vasculitis were negative. At 1-week follow-up, dilated examination demonstrated resolution of the cherry red spot. At 3 months, the patient's visual acuity was back to normal. Fluorescein angiography showed complete resolution of the retinal artery occlusion, but optical coherence tomography of the macula demonstrated mild, residual middle retina thinning consistent with chronic presentation of paracentral acute middle maculopathy. Because of synephrine's physiological and structural similarity to the vasoconstrictive compound ephedra, it is reasonable to suggest that there is potential health hazard in this performance-enhancing compound.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives License 4.0 (CCBY-NC-ND), where it is permissible to download and share the work provided it is properly cited.

Material and methods: One hundred and ninety six participants gave their answers to the Polish version of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control questionnaire version B and Health Behavior Inventory. Results: Among all dimensions of health locus of control, the respondents obtained the highest scores in the dimension of internal control (26.0±8.2), and the lowest ones in the dimension of external control (18.0±5.5). The average score for health behaviors was (88.0±11.0). In the category of prophylactic behaviors the highest scores were (23.0±3.6). The category of health practices received the lowest number of points (21.0±3.5). The internal dimension of health control showed a strong significant correlation with the following categories: health behaviors ( P =0.00), proper nutrition habits ( P =0.00), and positive psychological attitude ( P =0.002). The external dimension of health control showed a low significant correlation with health behaviors and prophylactic behaviors ( P =0.05). The chance dimension of health control did not show any significant correlations with health behaviors and their categories ( P >0.05 in all cases). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the participants believed to have more control over their health than other people or chance did. Sociodemographic and clinical factors did not influence health locus of control in patients with epilepsy. Key words: epilepsy; health behaviors; health locus control, MHLCS, HBI

Even though the diagnostics is significantly increasing, the mortality still remains high - general statistics of survival is 34%, for the most malignant cases - less than 5%. Brain tumor resection is essential not only for the overall survival, but the post-operative quality of life is as important as the survival rate. Especially in motor and language area lesions, the greater resections with lesser post-operative complications are required. The modern opportunity in favour of such circumstances is tend to grow within awake craniotomy technique. The aim of the study is to present the newest achievements in field of neurosurgical awake surgery. For the purpose of this study, most significant works have been reviewed in period 2000-2015. Study reveals the growing importance of awake surgery with simultaneous necessity for new pre-operative technologies, which can support the greater outcomes of the surgeries. Apart from that, the concerns of the ethical matter can be withdrawn if the valid algorythms and guidelines are applied for this procedure. Keywords MeSH: awake craniotomy, glioma, neurosurgery

Treating Women Who Are Pregnant and Parenting for Opioid Use Disorder and the Concurrent Care of Their Infants and Children: Literature Review to Support National Guidance.

Objectives:The prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) during pregnancy is increasing. Practical recommendations will help providers treat pregnant women with OUD and reduce potentially negative health consequences for mother, fetus, and child. This article summarizes the literature review conducted using the RAND/University of California, Los Angeles Appropriateness Method project completed by the US Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to obtain current evidence on treatment approaches for pregnant and parenting women with OUD and their infants and children.Methods:Three separate search methods were employed to identify peer-reviewed journal articles providing evidence on treatment methods for women with OUD who are pregnant or parenting, and for their children. Identified articles were reviewed for inclusion per study guidelines and relevant information was abstracted and summarized.Results:Of the 1697 articles identified, 75 were included in the literature review. The perinatal use of medication for addiction treatment (MAT, also known as medication-assisted treatment), either methadone or buprenorphine, within comprehensive treatment is the most accepted clinical practice, as withdrawal or detoxification risks relapse and treatment dropout. Medication increases may be needed with advancing pregnancy, and are not associated with more severe neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Switching medication prenatally is usually not recommended as it can destabilize opioid abstinence. Postnatally, breastfeeding is seen as beneficial for the infant for women who are maintained on a stable dose of opioid agonist medication. Less is known about ideal pain management and postpartum dosing regimens. NAS appears generally less severe following prenatal exposure to buprenorphine versus methadone. Frontline NAS medication treatments include protocol-driven methadone and morphine dosing in the context of nonpharmacological supports.Conclusions:Women with OUD can be treated with methadone or buprenorphine during pregnancy. NAS is an expected and manageable condition. Although research has substantially advanced, opportunities to guide future research to improve maternal and infant outcomes are provided.

Combining a reduced field of excitation with SENSE-based parallel imaging for maximum imaging efficiency.

PurposeTo show that a combination of parallel imaging using sensitivity encoding (SENSE) and inner volume imaging (IVI) combines the known benefits of both techniques. SENSE with a reduced field of excitation (rFOX) is termed rSENSE.Theory and MethodsThe noise level in SENSE reconstructions is reduced by removing voxels from the unfolding process that are rendered silent by using rFOX. The silent voxels need to be identified beforehand, this is done by using rFOX in the coil sensitivity maps. In vivo experiments were performed at 7 Tesla using a 32‐channel receive coil.ResultsGood image quality could be obtained in vivo with rSENSE at acceleration factors that are higher than could be obtained using SENSE or IVI alone. With rSENSE we were also able to accelerate scans using an rFOX that was purposely designed to be imperfect or incompatible at all with IVI.ConclusionrSENSE has been demonstrated in vivo with two‐dimensionally selective radiofrequency pulses. Besides allowing additional scan acceleration, it offers a greater robustness and flexibility than IVI. The proposed method can be used with other field strengths, anatomies and other rFOX techniques.

Abstract The authors show that in modern biology, life is seen as the ability of living matter, and namely in medicine – the ability of human body, to maintain the existence in natural environment. From this perspective, it is extremely necessary to synchronize the activity of body structures among themselves taking into account the changes of environmental factors. Achieving the harmony between the body activity and environmental changes is carried out using an external pacemaker of life processes’ activity, the role of which is performed by the geomagnetic field (GMF). This became possible due to the fact that the life processes are cyclical, i.e. they possess rhythmic characteristics, and GMF is an electromagnetic field which is changing its characteristics rhythmically. The material for the present study were the data obtained during the neurological examination of 20 healthy people and 100 patients with remote consequences of CTBI which were treated in the clinic of autonomic nervous system pathology of the SI Institute of neurology, psychiatry and narcology of the NAMS of Ukraine. The results investigations have showed that geomagnetic perturbations, which modify the GMF parameters, exacerbate the disorders of VNS in patients with remote after effects of CTBI. It is associated with the increased desynchronization of the activity of suprasegmental structures of VNS and with breach of brain vascular system’s status that occurs during a magnetic storm. The acupuncture that is aimed at restoring of synchronization of activity of suprasegmental structures of VNS significantly reduces its sensitivity to the geomagnetic disturbances. Keywords: magnetic storm, closed head injury, autonomic nervous system.

Athletes do not differ; they face the same issue of body image and weight concerns as the rest of the society. In addition to general factors of eating disorders, they have an extra pressure from their sport environment to maintain certain body weight and body measurements. This type of pressure puts them in the high-risk zone for developing clinical eating disorders (Brownell, 1991; Byrne & McLean, 2002; Rodin & Larson, 1992; Smolak, Murnen, & Ruble, 2000). Numerous studies investigated this problem related to variety of risk factors (Krentz & Warschburger, 2011; Picard, 1999; Sundgot-Borgen, 1994). This paper is focused on reviewing the available and newest literature on prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of eating disorders in sport, specifically among elite athletes. Key words: eating disorders, eating disorders in sport, sport psychology.

Peculiarities of platelet hemostasis changes in COPD - hypertensive disease mixed patients Svitlana O. Samoilova, Olga M. Plenova O.O.Bohomolets National Medical University Abstract Disorders in the hemostasis system have a major impact on the disease course and complication in the hypertensive disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. To assess the platelet hemostasis we examined 62 persons: 15 apparently healthy (Control Group), 15 HD patients without COPD, 17 HD patients with COPD associated, and 15 COPD patients of Degree II and III. We have found out that HD, COPD and the mix patients demonstrate an increased thrombocyte functional activity expressed in a higher degree of spontaneous aggregation, and significant activation of arachidonic acid induced thrombocyte aggregation. The HD patients feature a specific increase of adrenalin induced aggregation, contrary to other examined groups, that may be explained by a role of sympathetic nervous system in the HD pathogenesis. Chronic inflammation in the COPD patients is accompanied with a significant increase of arachidonic acid thrombocyte reaction (the highest among all examined groups) that should be taken into account when establishing a treatment policy with anti-inflammatory agents included. Key words : hypertensive disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, hemostasis, thrombocytes, aggregation.

Tel: +380 50 772 7375. E-mail: kolenko.julia@gmail.com Abstract Background : Oral cancer presents with high mortality rates, and the likelihood of survival is remarkably superior when detected early. Health care providers, particularly dentists, play a critical role in early detection of oral cancers and should be knowledgeable and skillful in oral cancer diagnosis. Purpose : The objective of the present study was to assess the comprehensive awareness of final year dental undergraduates of Medical Universities and Institutes Ukraine concerning oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders. Materials and Methods : A pretested self-administered questionnaire was distributed to fifth year dental students. Questions relating to knowledge of oral cancer, risk factors, and opinions on oral cancer prevention and practices were posed. Results : Only a small proportion of both groups of students expressed confidence in their knowledge and skills in oral cancer prevention and detection. This study revealed areas of deficiency in the awareness of these students concerning oral cancer and OPMD. It points to a necessity to strengthen these aspects of medical and dental undergraduate curricula . Conclusions : The findings of the present study suggest that here is a need to reinforce the undergraduate dental curriculum with regards to oral cancer education, particularly in its prevention and early detection. Keywords: dental students, knowledge, opinions, dental education, oral cancer, oral potentially malignant disorders, curriculum.

Janusz Kocjan Medical University of Silesia, School of Medicine, Katowice, Poland Abstract Introduction: Anxiety and depression are often present among cardiac patients. According to a numerous previous studies kinesiophobia is strongly associated with physical inactivity. However still is little known about impact of negative emotional states as a predictors of high level of kinesiophobia. Aim of the study: Evaluate a kinesiophobia level in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and after cardiac surgery (CS) as well as investigate the relationship between anxiety, depression and kinesiophobia level in these groups of patient and comparison obtained results with healthy control group. Material and methods: A total of 144 cardiac patients take part in this study (84 patients with diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction [MI] and 60 patients after cardiac surgery [CS]). The control group [CG] was made up of 116 healthy individuals. In the present study Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used. Results: The mean values in KCS scale for each of study groups were as follows: MI=49,3±20,3; CS=50,7±19,6; CG=36,0±18,2; p=0,0000. The highest value in KCS scale were noted in case of factor: susceptibility to social influence, respectively: MI=61,5±22,5; CS=60,8±24,1; CG=45,8±19,8; p=0,0000. Following baseline data for HADS scale were reported in anxiety (MI=9,76±4,94, CS=8,82±5,13, CG=3,07±1,12) and depression (MI=7,74±3,85, CS=6,23±3,31; CG=4,22±1,95). In both subscale differences between group were significant at p level <0,0001. Significant correlation between anxiety, depression and kinesiophobia level were observed. Conclusions: Anxiety level and depression level is strongly associated with fear of movement. Keywords: kinesiophobia, fear of movement, anxiety, depression.
