BACKGROUND: Metabolic bariatric surgery tourism continues to rise and has become a growing concern for bariatric surgeons globally. With varying degrees of regulation, counselling and success, those that develop complications may have to deal with a multitude of challenges often distant from their country of operation. The aim of this study was to characterize the barriers and facilitators influencing individuals to undergo metabolic bariatric surgery tourism, in order to better understand the implications to the National Health Service and other healthcare systems...

OBJECTIVES: A rapidly expanding number of prediction models is being developed aiming to improve rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis and treatment. However, few are actually implemented in clinical practice. This study explores factors influencing the acceptance of prediction models in clinical decision-making by RA patients. METHODS: A qualitative study design was used with thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was applied to capture a complete overview of influencing factors...

This study aims to identify factors guiding effective management strategies for SSCJI by using data mining. METHODS: An IRB-approved retrospective review of patients from two large hospitals (2010 to 2022) was conducted. Spontaneous sternoclavicular joint infection is defined as a joint infection without direct trauma or radiation, direct instrumentation, or contiguous spread...

The dysfunction of matriptase, a membrane-anchored protease, is highly related to the progression of skin and breast cancers. Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced matriptase activation and cancer invasion are known but with obscure mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate a vesicular-trafficking-mediated interplay between matriptase and EGF signaling in cancer promotion. We found that EGF induces matriptase to undergo endocytosis together with the EGF receptor, followed by acid-induced activation in endosomes. Activated matriptase is then secreted extracellularly on exosomes to catalyze hepatocyte growth factor precursor (pro-HGF) cleavage, resulting in autocrine HGF/c-Met signaling...

Background: The presence of insulin resistance (IR) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a significant indicator of all chronic diabetic complications, independent of other risk factors. The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a practical method that can be easily used in daily practice to determine IR. This study aimed to determine the cutoff values for two eGDR methods and compare their diagnostic value for determining IR in adult T1DM patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 184 adults admitted to the endocrinology outpatient clinic diagnosed with T1DM...

INTRODUCTION: In children with PRS, MDO is routinely performed to alleviate airway obstruction; however, it involves risk of injury to the MMN. We hypothesize that MMN palsy incidence following MDO, reported at 1-15%, is underestimated. This study investigates the true incidence of MMN palsy after MDO to better guide follow-up care and improve treatment of this complication. METHODS: A retrospective review of PRS patients who underwent MDO at a single, tertiary pediatric hospital between September 2007 and March 2021 was conducted...

Immobilization for acromial and scapular spine stress AU4fractures (AF/SSF) after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is associated with patient dissatisfaction. Our study reports the effects and safety of intranasal calcitonin alongside sling immobilization on pain and function in the treatment of AF/SSF after RSA. The treatment was regimented calcitonin (salmon) 200 unit/actuation nasal spray (1 spray/day) for 6 weeks with sling immobilization for 4 weeks. Each patient was monitored through blood work...

A relative high number of cases of organ donation after euthanasia (ODE) is performed in patients with a mental disorder. We feel there are morally relevant differences between people who receive euthanasia on grounds of somatic illness and those who receive it on grounds of a mental disorder. More research is needed before it can be assumed that patients with a mental disorder who have their requests for euthanasia granted may also be eligible for ODE without further testing. Until then, as a matter of prudence, a request for ODE from a patient with a mental disorder should also be reviewed by a psychiatrist...

As the only essential amino acid containing elemental sulphur, L-methionine has important physiological and biochemical functions in living organisms. However, the fermentative production of L-methionine has not met the requirements of industrial production because of its low production level. In this paper, the fermentation process of an efficient L-methionine producing strain E . coli W3110Δ IJAHFEBC trc-fliY trc-malY /PAM glyA-22 metF constructed previously was systematically optimized. Based on the optimal initial glucose concentration, the effects of different fed-batch fermentation processes, including DO-Stat, pH-Stat, controlling residual sugar control at different level and feeding glucose with constant rate, on L-methionine fermentation were studied...

Dexmedetomidine is a sedative used in both adults and off-label in children with considerable reported pharmacokinetic (PK) interindividual variability affecting drug exposure across populations. Several published models describe the population PKs of dexmedetomidine in neonates, infants, children, and adolescents, though very few have been externally evaluated. A prospective PK dataset of dexmedetomidine plasma concentrations in children and young adults aged 0.01-19.9 years was collected as part of a multicenter opportunistic PK study...
