In 90 rats a colonic anastomosis was constructed with 12 interrupted 7/0 polypropylene sutures. Group 1 (n = 30) served as a control group. In group 2 (n = 30) the anastomosis was sealed with fibrin adhesive and in group 3 (n = 30) a mixture of fibrin, clindamycin and cefotaxime was used. On days 2, 4 and 7, ten animals in each group were killed. Adhesion formation was significantly increased in groups 2 and 3 compared with the control group. On day 2 the anastomosis was significantly stronger after sealing with antibiotic-fibrin mixture. On day 4 the bursting pressure in group 2 was significantly lower than in groups 1 and 3. At the same time the concentration of hydroxyproline was significantly reduced in group 2, but not in group 3. The addition of antibiotics prevents the negative effect of fibrin adhesive on the healing colonic anastomosis and contributes to a stronger anastomosis on day 2 after operation.

Investigation of the total anticholinergic load of reported anticholinergic drug-related adverse events using the Japanese adverse drug event report database: a retrospective pharmacovigilance study.
J Pharm Health Care Sci

Background: The Anticholinergic Risk Scale and Total Anticholinergic Load were developed to assess the risks associated with anticholinergic drugs. Recently, the Japan Anticholinergic Risk Scale was introduced; however, the total anticholinergic load for adverse events has not been clarified, and the criteria for risk assessment in clinical practice have not been established. In this study, we used data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database provided by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency to determine the total anticholinergic load associated with reported adverse events related to anticholinergic syndrome.

Background: There is a growing evidence base to support the use of self-management interventions for improving quality of life after stroke. However, stroke survivors with aphasia have been underrepresented in research to date. It is therefore unclear if self-management is an appropriate or effective approach for this group.

Anxiety is known to significantly impair cognitive function, particularly attentional control. While exercise has been demonstrated to alleviate these cognitive deficits, the precise neural mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. This study examines the effects of exercise on attentional control in individuals with high trait anxiety, based on attentional control theory, which suggests that such individuals have reduced top-down attention.

Background: Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a systemic disease with high case-fatality rates and a widespread distribution. Continuous evaluation of the risk factors for VL is essential to ensure the effective implementation of prevention and control measures. The present study reviews the factors associated with VL in the Americas.

Background: The homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) test is an important tool for identifying patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) benefit from the treatment with poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi). Using whole exome sequencing (WES)-based platform can provide information of gene mutations and HRD score; however, the clinical value of WES-based HRD test was less validated in EOC.
Methods: We enrolled 40 patients with EOC in the training cohort and 23 in the validation cohort.
