A drug utilization observation study collected data on a total of 1800 patients given flavoxate (Spasuret 200) over 2 weeks for urge incontinence. Efficacy and tolerance parameters were determined. A subgroup of 618 patients without urinary tract infections or benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated with flavoxate only. The subgroup (n = 618) showed a reduction of dysuria (37%), nocturia (53%), and both daytime (61%) and nighttime urge (69%). Bladder volume at first urge sensation increased by 55.1+/-58.8 ml (36%), which was comparable to data from the entire group (1800 patients). In 89.2% of all patients the residual urine volume was stable or decreased. Undesirable side effects occurred in 1.8% of cases. Both groups showed better results with flavoxate four times daily (800 mg), compared to three times daily (600 mg). Flavoxate is effective and well tolerated and causes no additional problems due to residual urine or side effects.

A qualitative process evaluation of SBIRT implementation in pediatric trauma centers using the Science to Service Laboratory implementation strategy.

Background: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based practice that can identify adolescents who use alcohol and other drugs and support proper referral to treatment. Despite an American College of Surgeons mandate to deliver SBIRT in pediatric trauma care, trauma centers throughout the United States have faced numerous patient, provider, and organizational level barriers to SBIRT implementation. The Implementing Alcohol Misuse Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment Study (IAMSBIRT) aimed to implement SBIRT across 10 pediatric trauma centers using the Science-to-Service Laboratory (SSL), an empirically supported implementation strategy.

Platelet-derived microvesicles (PMVs) and their encapsulated microRNAs (miRNAs) hold immense potential as biomarkers for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosis. This study presents a pioneering liposome-based approach for enhanced miRNA detection within PMVs, employing a lambda exonuclease (λ EXO)-based amplification system encapsulated in immunoliposomes. The platform exploits the novel catalytic functionality of λ EXO, demonstrating its unprecedented capability to catalyze RNA-DNA hybrid substrates.

Objective: Shared medical appointments (SMAs) are an innovative care delivery method that provides delivery of clinical care while also supporting self-management. Their usefulness for mental health conditions has only briefly been explored, though early evidence demonstrates their utility for supporting mental health management. Therefore, this study set out to better understand the views that adults with anxiety and depression have towards SMAs as a way of receiving care to support self-management in primary care.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological disorder characterized by chronic headaches, cognitive difficulties, reduced quality of life, and rarely irreversible visual loss. Community diagnosis is often challenging due to unfamiliarity with current guidelines and a lack of clinical experience, leading to misdiagnosis and treatment delays, which can negatively impact visual recovery and quality of life. Our study examined the time to diagnosis and investigated the barriers to timely diagnosis in adults with newly diagnosed IIH.

We investigated the association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) and arterial stiffness and distensibility in the aneurysmal sac of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Data from 49 patients with AAA from June 2020 to November 2022 at Tokyo Medical University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Brachial-ankle PWV (cm/s) was obtained via an automated oscillometric method.
