PECULIARITIES OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS AND PREDOMINANCE OF PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM ACTIVITY

The use of orthodontic treatment for patients with generalized periodontitis enhances the effectiveness of comprehensive care. However, it is important to consider the reduced capacity for alveolar bone regeneration in these patients. Therefore, as part of the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis, the inclusion of medications to support alveolar bone regeneration is essential. The course of various diseases can be influenced by the state of the patient’s autonomic nervous system. In this study, medications were administered to normalize parasympathetic nervous system activity in patients with generalized periodontitis undergoing orthodontic treatment. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment in patients with generalized periodontitis, particularly those with a predominance of parasympathetic autonomic nervous system activity. This was assessed by the supplementary use of a combination of drugs designed to stimulate alveolar bone formation and regulate parasympathetic nervous system function. Materials and methods. This study involved 35 young patients (aged 18-35) with generalized periodontitis and a predominance of parasympathetic autonomic nervous system activity, all of whom presented with displacement of the maxillary frontal teeth. These patients underwent orthodontic treatment. To correct the state of the autonomic nervous system over the treatment of generalized periodontitis, patients were prescribed to take a complex of medicines including the preparation “Calcinova” for stimulating osteogenesis. A comprehensive periodontal examination, including the assessment of hygienic indices, was conducted to evaluate periodontal status throughout the treatment. Results. The periodontal examination revealed that almost all patients demonstated an improvement in oral health. Noticeable dynamics in the pathological process were observed as a result of the complex treatment. The analysis of these findings underscores the importance of orthodontic treatment for patients with generalized periodontitis, particularly when combined with methods to correct parasympathetic nervous system activity and promote osteogenesis. This approach was shown to positively affect periodontal tissues and enhance the effectiveness of generalized periodontitis treatment. Conclusions. Correction of parasympathetic autonomic nervous system function enhances the effectiveness of therapy. In this study, a complex of medications was used to improve parasympathetic nervous system activity. The addition of “Calcinova” to stimulate osteogenesis further contributed to achieving more stable treatment outcomes in patients with generalized periodontitis.

Presentation and outcome of Gastric Cancer at a Tertiary Care Center

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer globally and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Early-stage disease can be managed with endoscopic therapy or surgery, while advanced gastric cancer requires a multimodal treatment approach, including extensive lymphadenectomy. This study aims to evaluate the clinicodemographic profile and treatment outcomes of gastric cancer patients and to establish an effective therapeutic strategy. Methods: This retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Surgery at Shree Birendra Hospital. It included patients with gastric malignancies who had complete medical records. Data on patient history, AJCC staging, operative details, and postoperative findings were analyzed. Surgical choices were based on the clinical indication in each case. Clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared across tumor stages. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Results: The study included 90 patients (62 males, 28 females) aged between 23 and 82 years. The most common clinical presentations were abdominal pain (58%), gastric outlet obstruction (18%), lump (5%), anemia (5%), and peritonitis (4%). Adenocarcinoma was the predominant histological type (87.78%). Curative surgery was performed on 73 patients (81.11%), while 17 patients (18.89%) underwent palliative procedures. Morbidity occurred in 16 patients (17.7%), primarily due to chest complications and sepsis, and mortality was recorded in 5 patients (5.5%). Conclusion: This study highlights the predominance of locally advanced gastric cancer in males, with distal gastric cancer and well-differentiated adenocarcinoma being the most common. Chest complications and sepsis were the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. No patients received perioperative chemotherapy, underscoring the need for updated treatment protocols to improve outcomes.

Lymphatic Disorder Management in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Heart Disease in European Pediatric Cardiology Centers: Current Status, Disparities, and Future Considerations.

Lymphatic disorders such as protein-losing enteropathy, plastic bronchitis, and chylothorax are important complications of the Fontan circulation and ultimately result in an increased risk of early death. Several European centers are now performing lymphatic procedures. The aim of this study is to map the extent of these lymphatic disorders and treatments provided across European pediatric cardiology centers. A survey was circulated to 49 European pediatric cardiology centers consisting of 37 questions including a mix of binary, categorical, and continuous variables. Thirty-one centers (63%) participated in the study, performing a median of 250 (interquartile range, 178 - 313) cardiopulmonary bypass procedures per year. Chylothorax emerged as the most prevalent lymphatic disorderfollowed by protein-losing enteropathy and plastic bronchitis. The most common diagnostic investigation method was noncontrast magnetic resonance lymphangiography (52%). Eleven centers (35%) conducted lymphatic interventions with a median of 3 (interquartile range, 1 - 4) procedures per year and 12 (interquartile range, 5 - 15) interventions in total per center. This study confirms the rarity of and variation in treatment approaches for lymphatic disorders across Europe. With at least 11 centers offering lymphatic interventions, the adoption of these procedures is on the rise in Europe. To improve the quality of care and treatment outcomes for these complex patients, it is crucial to consider evidence-based lymphatic diagnostics, interventional lymphatic procedures, and the centralization of services in Europe.

Treatment of local purulent postoperative soft tissue complications in patients of older age groups with fractures of the proximal femur

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment of fractures of the proximal femur in elderly patients makes it possible to put patients on their feet early and improve their quality of life. Local purulent complications in the postoperative period after hip fractures surgical treatment occur in 5–10% of cases. AIM: To improve the treatment outcomes of patients with local postoperative purulent complications of soft tissues by a comparative analysis of treatment methods with various antibacterial, antiseptic hydrogels and physical methods of wound treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article presents the nature of local purulent complications, their clinical picture, and diagnostic features. All the patients are divided into 2 groups. The main group included 53 patients, and the control group included 48. The patients of the main group underwent comprehensive treatment of local purulent complications using modern technologies (plasma scalpel) and dressings with hydrogel Argacol. The control group was treated with traditional bandages with dioxomethyltetrahydropyrimidine and chloramphenicol. RESULTS: The use of surgical wound treatment using a plasma scalpel and dressings with multifunctional hydrogel allows to accelerate the wound healing process by 2–3 weeks compared with the use of traditional techniques. CONCLUSIONS: The application of the proposed tactics of providing specialized care to elderly patients with a fracture of the proximal femur allows for a significant (p 0.05) improvement in treatment results.

Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, treatment outcomes and associated factors among adult patients treated at public hospitals in the Harari Region of Ethiopia: retrospective cross-sectional study.

Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases that pose a significant burden in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS) is a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine clinical patterns, outcomes and factors associated with HSS in the Harari Region of Ethiopia. An institutional-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 93 adult patients diagnosed with HSS at public hospitals in the Harari Region from December 2018 to November 2022. Data were extracted from medical records using a standardized data extraction tool. EpiData version 4.2 and SPSS version 26.0 were used for data entry and analysis. Fisher's exact test was used to identify the association between dependent and independent variables, and statistical significance was declared at p<0.05. In the current study, HSS-related mortality was recorded in 7.5% of patients. Recurrent episodes of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding (p=0.04), hypotension (p=0.02), altered mental status at admission (p=0.009) and antibiotic use for the treatment of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (p=0.04) were significant factors associated with HSS-related mortality. The study found that treatment outcomes of HSS patients were strongly associated with recurrent upper GI bleeding, hypotension, altered mental status and antibiotic use for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis treatment. The use of antibiotics for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis treatment was strongly associated with the treatment outcome of patients with HSS and was unique to our study. Adequate recording of patient data, improving chart keeping, integration of preventive and curative programs, improvement of the diagnostic tools, comprehensive treatment guidelines, early diagnosis and treatment are strongly recommended. Rigorous prospective studies that can fully reflect cause-and-effect relationships are crucial to fill fundamental evidence gaps.

Emapalumab Treatment in Patients With Rheumatologic Disease-Associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in the United States: A Retrospective Medical Chart Review Study.

Rheumatologic disease-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare, life-threatening, systemic hyperinflammatory syndrome, occurs as a complication of underlying rheumatologic disease. Real-world evidence is lacking on emapalumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes the proinflammatory cytokine interferon-γ, approved for treating patients with primary HLH. REAL-HLH, a retrospective medical chart review study conducted across 33 US hospitals, assessed real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with HLH treated with one or more dose of emapalumab between November 20, 2018, and October 31, 2021. Data are presented for the subset of patients with rheumatologic disease-associated HLH. Fifteen of 105 patients (14.3%) had rheumatologic disease-associated HLH. Of these, nine (60.0%) had systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and one (6.7%) had adult-onset Still disease. Median (range) age at HLH diagnosis was 5 (0.9-39) years. Most patients (9 of 15; 60.0%) initiated emapalumab in an intensive care unit. Emapalumab was most frequently initiated for treating refractory or recurrent (10 of 15; 66.7%) disease. Most patients received HLH-related therapies before (10 of 15; 66.7%) and concurrently with (15 of 15; 100.0%) emapalumab. Emapalumab-containing regimens stabilized or achieved physician-determined normalization of most laboratory parameters, including absolute neutrophil count and absolute lymphocyte count (13 of 14; 92.9%), chemokine ligand 9 (9 of 11; 81.8%), and platelets and alanine transaminase (11 of 14; 78.6%), and reduced glucocorticoid dose by 80%. Overall survival and 12-month survival probability from emapalumab initiation were 86.7%. Emapalumab-containing regimens stabilized or normalized most key laboratory parameters, reduced glucocorticoid dose, and were associated with low disease-related mortality, thereby demonstrating potential benefits in patients with rheumatologic disease-associated HLH.

Pressure-Mediated Biofeedback With Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Urinary Incontinence

Supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) has been recommended as the first-line treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), but more evidence on whether adjunctive methods would provide additional benefits is needed. To compare the efficacy of PFMT with or without a home-based pressure-mediated biofeedback (BF) device. This multicenter assessor-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted in the obstetric clinics of 5 participating tertiary hospitals in China. Participants included eligible women with new-onset postpartum SUI who were enrolled from March 28, 2022, to October 13, 2023. All participants received 3 months of supervised PFMT and were randomized to either the intervention (PFMT with a home-based pressure-mediated BF device) or the control group (home-based PFMT). The primary outcome was the severity of urinary incontinence evaluated by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form after 3 months of supervised PFMT. The secondary outcomes included the cure and improvement rates, PFM strength, quality of life, self-efficacy, and adherence. A total of 452 participants (median age, 34 [IQR, 31-36] years; median body mass index [calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the height in square meters], 23.71 [IQR, 21.37-25.97]; median time since delivery, 50 [IQR, 43-61] days) were included in the analysis, with 223 in the intervention group and 229 in the control group. Compared with the control group, the intervention group achieved a significantly greater reduction in incontinence severity (median, 3.00 [IQR, 1.00-6.00] vs 2.00 [IQR, 0-4.00] points; z = -3.05; P = .002), significantly increased cure rate (45 of 223 [20.2%] vs 20 of 229 [8.7%]; z = 12.02; P = .001) and improvement (132 of 223 [59.2%] vs 102 of 229 [44.5%]; z = 9.71; P = .002), significantly greater pelvic floor muscle strength (median, 26.00 [IQR, 17.00-38.00] vs 21.00 [IQR, 13.50-33.50] cm H2O; z = -2.28; P = .02), and a significantly greater correlation between subjective and objective adherence (r = 0.825 vs r = 0.627). In this randomized clinical trial, the efficacy of pressure-mediated BF combined with PFMT was superior to that of PFMT alone. These findings support the use of pressure-mediated BF devices for improving treatment outcomes for patients with SUI. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05115864.

Prediction of Treatment Response Based on Nutritional Status and Tumor Immunity in Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients Treated With Chemoradiotherapy.

Radiotherapy (RT) for advanced oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is effective, especially when combined with chemotherapy (CRT). However, its success can vary depending on factors, such as tumor stage, HPV infection (p16 status), and the patient's nutritional and immune status. This study examined the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and tumor immunity as predictive factors for treatment outcomes in OPC, aiming to develop a personalized risk score. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 84 patients with OPC treated with definitive RT or CRT, and survival outcomes were compared based on various factors, including BMI, CONUT score, CD8 expression, and HLA class II expression. We observed better overall survival (OS) rates in CD8-positive patients and those with higher HLA class II expression. The univariate analysis identified stage, p16 status, BMI, CONUT score, and CD8 expression as significantly associated with OS. In multivariate analysis, stage, BMI, and CONUT score remained significant predictors of OS. A risk scoring system was developed based on stage, p16 status, BMI, CONUT score, and CD8 expression. Patients were categorized into low-risk and high-risk groups, with significantly better survival in the low-risk group. A combined risk score incorporating clinical, nutritional, and immune factors can improve the prediction of treatment outcomes for OPC patients. This risk stratification may enable personalized treatment plans and improve ΟS rates.

The Treatment Outcomes of Tuberculosis Patients at Adare General Hospital, Southern Ethiopia (A Five-Year Retrospective Study)

Ethiopia is among the countries most heavily affected by tuberculosis, where it is the leading cause of morbidity, the third cause of hospital admission and the second cause of death. To improve tuberculosis management and control, the early detection of cases, effective treatment and the persistent evaluation of treatment outcomes are vital issues that should be taken into consideration. This study was designed to determine the treatment outcomes and associated risk factors among TB patients registered at Adare General Hospital in Southern Ethiopia. A five-year retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the files of the TB patients registered from September 2013 to August 2017. The data were coded, cleaned, entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20 statistical software. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression with odds ratios (OR) along with a 95% confidence interval was computed and interpreted. A p-value &lt; 0.05 was declared as statistically significant. Among the 1122 cases, 620 (55.3%) were male, 748 (66.7%) were from urban areas, 319 (28.4%) were smear positive, 352 (31.4%) were smear negative and 451 (40.2%) were extra-pulmonary patients. Among the treated patients, 284 were declared cured, 753 completed their treatment, 29 were defaulters, 3 failed to follow up, and 53 died. The overall treatment success rate was 92.4%. The TB patients from urban areas (AOR = 1.44, 95% CI: 0.28, 0.67), and the HIV-negative TB patients (AOR = 5.48, 95% CI; 3.474, 8.64) were significantly associated with successful treatment outcomes. The treatment success rates of tuberculosis at Adare General Hospital were comparable to the national health facility-level coverage, but they should be maintained and strengthened further to attain tuberculosis-related national and millennium goals.

Harnessing Brain Plasticity: The Therapeutic Power of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) in Neurotransmitter Modulation, Receptor Dynamics, and Neuroimaging for Neurological Innovations

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) methods have become exciting techniques for altering brain activity and improving synaptic plasticity, earning recognition as valuable non-medicine treatments for a wide range of neurological disorders. Among these methods, repetitive TMS (rTMS) and theta-burst stimulation (TBS) show significant promise in improving outcomes for adults with complex neurological and neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, etc. However, optimizing their effects remains a challenge due to variability in how patients respond and a limited understanding of how these techniques interact with crucial neurotransmitter systems. This narrative review explores the mechanisms of rTMS and TBS, which enhance neuroplasticity and functional improvement. We specifically focus on their effects on GABAergic and glutamatergic pathways and how they interact with key receptors like N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) and AMPA receptors, which play essential roles in processes like long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). Additionally, we investigate how rTMS and TBS impact neuroplasticity and functional connectivity, particularly concerning brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tropomyosin-related kinase receptor type B (TrkB). Here, we highlight the significant potential of this research to expand our understanding of neuroplasticity and better treatment outcomes for patients. Through clarifying the neurobiology mechanisms behind rTMS and TBS with neuroimaging findings, we aim to develop more effective, personalized treatment plans that effectively address the challenges posed by neurological disorders and ultimately enhance the quality of neurorehabilitation services and provide future directions for patients’ care.

Seasonal influences on the efficacy of anti-programmed cell death (ligand) 1 inhibitors in lung cancer.

Seasonal variations in systemic immunity have been reported. This study aimed to evaluate whether seasonality affects the efficacy of anticancer immunotherapy. A total of 604 patients with lung cancer receiving single anti-programmed cell death (ligand) 1 (anti-PD-[L]1) inhibitors from two prospective observational cohorts were screened. Primary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients were classified into two groups according to the season when the treatment started: winter (November-February) and other seasons (March-October). Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to evaluate the impact of seasonality on survival. For validation, propensity score matching was performed. A total of 484 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were included. In an unmatched population, multivariable analysis demonstrated that the winter group (n=173) had a significantly lower risk of progression or death from immunotherapy than the other group (n=311) (PFS: hazard ratio [HR],0.77 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.62-0.96]; p=.018; OS: HR,0.77 [95% CI, 0.1-0.98]; p=.032). In a propensity score-matched population, the winter group (n=162) showed significantly longer median PFS (2.8 months [95% CI, 1.9-4.1 months] vs. 2.0 months [95% CI, 1.4-2.7 months]; p=.009) than the other group (n=162). The winter group's median OS was also significantly longer than that of the other group (13.4 months [95% CI, 10.2-18.0 months] vs. 8.0 months [95% CI, 3.6-8.7 months]; p=.012). The trend toward longer survival in the winter group continued in subgroup analyses. Starting an anti-PD-(L)1 inhibitor in winter was associated with better treatment outcomes in patients with lung cancer compared to other seasons.

Treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Over the last decade, innovative treatments have enlarged the therapeutic arsenal against NSCLC. Although there is clinical evidence supporting treatment options, controversy surrounds the impact of their combinations and sequence. The goal of this study was to fill this gap using real world data (Symphony Health).9676 Patients with a diagnosis of non-metastatic (NM) and metastatic (M) NSCLC between July 2016 and December 2016 were included and followed till December 2021. The following data were collected: diagnostic date, age, gender, comorbidities, metastases, treatments (SUrgery, RAdiotherapy, CHemotherapy, IMmunotherapy, and TArgeted therapies), sequence (L1-L4), and death. Treatment patterns (Sankey graphs), and outcomes (Kaplan-Meyer and Cox regressions) were derived.Amongst NM patients, the most frequently observed treatments were RA, IM, IM and CH in first, second, third and fourth lines respectively. In M patients, the most frequent treatments were CH, IM, IM, and IM in first, second, third and fourth lines respectively. The overall 5-years survival in the cohort was 23.7% (36% in NM, 16% in M). The corresponding median survival time were 1.98 years (3.2 NM, 1.27 M). In NM, best median survival times were recorded for those with only one line SU. For patients who had 2 lines, CH→IM; 3 lines, CH→IM→CH. In M, best median survival times were recorded for those with only one line RA. For patients who had 2 lines CH→IM; 3 lines CH→IM→CH.These new insights could guide further studies and improve the management of patients with NSCLC.

Clinicopathological Characteristics and Perioperative Treatment of Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Gastric Cancer: A Retrospective Study.

The clinicopathological characteristics and perioperative treatment outcomes of patients with EBVaGC who underwent radical gastrectomy in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from September 2016 to May 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed and Cox regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors. The study cohort included 128 patients with EBVaGC. Histologically, 126 (98.4%) patients had adenocarcinoma and only 2 (1.6%) had adenosquamous carcinoma. In addition, 18 (14.1%) had nerve invasion and 29 (22.7%) had vascular invasion. Notably, 41 (32.0%) patients had tumors in the proximal stomach and 69 (53.9%) had no lymph node metastasis. Proficient mismatch repair was confirmed in all 104 patients with available results. Overall, 16 (12.5%) patients received neoadjuvant therapy, 81 (63.3%) received adjuvant therapy, and 10 (7.8%) received perioperative immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy. In total, 22 patients experienced disease progression or had died. The 3-year DFS rate was 75.0%. DFS was relatively poorer for patients with advanced tumor (T) stage, lymph node (N) stage, disease stage, and vascular invasion. EBVaGC had unique clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. Advanced T, N, and disease stages, in addition to vascular invasion, were predictive of poorer DFS. However, the efficacy of perioperative treatment of EBVaGC remains uncertain.

Identifying Predictors of Unfavorable Treatment Outcomes in Tuberculosis Patients

Objectives: In South Korea, there has been a continuous decrease in the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) attributable to a national TB elimination program; however, TB still poses a significant socioeconomic burden. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with successful TB treatment and to identify refractory patient groups with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: We analyzed anonymized data on 89,150 patients with TB provided by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. Specifically, we collected independent variables, which were categorized as individual, regional, and medical facility factors. Individual factors included age, sex, nationality, TB type, drug-resistant status, category of TB, housing type, underlying disease status, number of referrals, and smoking status. Regional factors referred to the region where the TB case was reported. Medical facility factors included the first visit to a medical facility, categorized by hospital type and the distinction between private–public mix (PPM) and non-PPM depending on the presence or absence of dedicated TB nurses. These factors were analyzed in relation to treatment success to identify refractory patient groups with unfavorable outcomes. Results: Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed the following significant factors associated with successful TB treatment: sex, nationality, status of drug-resistant TB, category of TB, number of referrals, region of TB registry, underlying diseases, and smoking status. Specifically, compared with their relevant counterparts, male patients had a lower rate of successful treatment (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.66, reference [Ref.]: women); Korean nationals had a higher rate of treatment success (aOR: 7.20, Ref. foreign residents in Korea); resistant TB was associated with a lower rate of treatment success (aOR: 0.35, Ref.: non-resistant TB status); newly treated patients had a higher rate of treatment success (aOR: 1.75, Ref.: retreatment patient); switching hospitals once (aOR: 1.78), never (aOR: 1.41), or twice (aOR: 1.37) was associated with increased treatment success (Ref.: three or more times); having zero (aOR: 1.45), one (aOR: 1.31), or two (aOR: 1.24) underlying diseases was associated with a higher rate of treatment success (Ref. three or more underlying diseases); and past smokers (aOR: 1.40) and non-smokers (aOR: 1.35) had a higher rate of treatment success (Ref.: current smokers). Conclusions: Our study identified several factors contributing to unfavorable treatment outcomes in tuberculosis patients, including male patients, foreign residents in Korea, drug-resistant TB, retreatment patients, frequent hospital switching, multiple underlying diseases, and current smoking status. These research findings could inform the development of efficient management strategies and policies for improving the treatment success rate among patients with TB.
