Experiences participating in a telehealth exercise program among older adults with cancer: a qualitative study.

Purpose: Telehealth delivery of exercise programs has rapidly increased in recent years; yet, little is known regarding older cancer survivors' (OCS) experiences participating in telehealth exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine OCS barriers and facilitators to participation in telehealth-delivered exercise.

Methods: OCS who participated in a 12-week, one-on-one telehealth exercise program were recruited to participate in one of three focus groups.

Iris Atrophy After Administration of Intracameral Dexycu in Routine Cataract Surgery: A Case Series.

Dexycu (Icon Bioscience INC, Newark, CA) is an FDA-approved single-dose, sustained release intracameral steroid designed to mitigate postoperative inflammation after cataract surgery as an alternative to topical steroid therapy. The purpose of this study was to look at long-term and adverse events associated with Dexycu use. Eighteen eyes from nine patients who underwent cataract surgery were included.

Repercussions of surgically assisted maxillary expansion on nose width and position of septum and inferior nasal conchae.

The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical and radiographic repercussions of surgically assisted maxillary expansion on the septum, nasal cavity and nasal conchae. The sample was made up of 15 patients with skeletal maturity (9 females and 6 males between 16 and 45 years of age) and maxillary transverse deficiency. Assessments were performed through anterior rhinoscopy and frontal cephalometric radiographs on three occasions: (T0) preoperative period, (T1) locking of the expander and (T2) six months following the locking procedure.

Ethanol causes the redistribution of L1 cell adhesion molecule in lipid rafts.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is estimated to affect 1% of live births. The similarities between children with fetal alcohol syndrome and those with mutations in the gene encoding L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1) implicates L1 as a target of ethanol developmental neurotoxicity. Ethanol specifically inhibits the neurite outgrowth promoting function of L1 at pharmacologic concentrations.

Ethanol inhibits L1 cell adhesion molecule tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation and activation of pp60(src).

Fetal alcohol syndrome is a leading cause of mental retardation. The neuropathology found in patients with fetal alcohol syndrome overlaps with those with mutations in the gene for cell adhesion molecule (L1). We have previously shown that L1-mediated neurite outgrowth and L1 activation of extracellular receptor kinases 1/2 are inhibited at low concentrations of ethanol.
