The Striking Power of Amniotic Fluid and Its Exosomes Collected at the End of a Normal Pregnancy on Severe Inflammation and Tissue Repair.

With this short communication, which contains a new case report on diabetic ulcer, we summarize our research progress in treating several complex conditions at a point where currently available treatments were failing to help the affected patients. We review the first case of lower back pain due to severe spondylitis (T12-L1) treated with intravenous injections of a sterile fraction of human purified amniotic fluid (ViX001) obtained from thoroughly screened volunteers at the time of planned c-section at the term of normal pregnancies. Then, we review the first case of recalcitrant diabetic ulcer treated successfully by twice-daily applications of ViX001 directly on the wound and describe another case of diabetic ulcer treated successfully with ViX001.

MR-LINAC, a New Partner in Radiation Oncology: Current Landscape.

Technological advances in radiation oncology are oriented towards improving treatment precision and tumor control. Among these advances, magnetic-resonance-image-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) stands out, with technological advances to deliver targeted treatments adapted to a tumor's anatomy on the day while minimizing incidental exposure to organs at risk, offering an unprecedented therapeutic advantage compared to X-ray-based IGRT delivery systems. This new technology changes the traditional workflow in radiation oncology and requires an evolution in team coordination to administer more precise treatments.

Verifying locations of sources of historical environmental releases of dioxin-like compounds in the U.S.: implications for exposure assessment and epidemiologic inference.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) emissions from industrial sources contaminate the surrounding environment. Proximity-based exposure surrogates assume accuracy in the location of PCDD/F sources, but locations are not often verified. We manually reviewed locations (i.

Efficacy and safety of canakinumab in cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes: results from a Spanish cohort.

Objectives: Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) are dominantly-inherited autoinflammatory diseases. The uncontrolled IL-1β overproduction observed in these patients is the rational basis to treat them with anti-IL-1 drugs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with the long-lasting fully humanised anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody canakinumab in a Spanish cohort of patients with CAPS.

Melatonin treatment counteracts the hyperoxidative status in erythrocytes of patients suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Objectives: To analyze whether the antioxidant melatonin could reduce the hyperoxidative status in the blood of patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.

Design And Methods: Ten patients aged 12.8±0.
