To assess the role of glycogenolysis in mediating exercise-induced increases in muscle water as monitored by changes in muscle proton relaxation times on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cross-sectional area (CSA), five patients with myophosphorylase deficiency (MPD) were compared with seven controls. Absolute and relative work loads were matched during ischemic handgrip and graded cycling, respectively. Relaxation times of active muscle did not increase after handgrip in MPD (T1: 1 +/- 14%, P greater than 0.1; T2: 4 +/- 4%, P greater than 0.1) but did in controls (T1: 59 +/- 30%, P less than 0.005; T2: 26 +/- 9%, P less than 0.005). The volume of exercised muscles, estimated by CSA, increased in both groups after handgrip (controls: 13.8 +/- 3.5%, n = 7, P less than 0.0001; MPD: 7.5 +/- 1.5%, n = 4, P less than 0.005), but the change was greater in controls (P less than 0.02). Ischemic handgrip in controls resulted in a large increase in finger flexor signal intensity (SI) on short tau-inversion recovery images (25 +/- 7%, n = 3; P less than 0.005 compared with preexercise) and a further increase with subsequent reflow (43 +/- 11%, n = 3; P less than 0.001 compared with rest); in MPD, SI did not increase. The ratio of active to inactive muscle SI did not increase from rest to maximal cycle exercise in MPD (0 +/- 20%, n = 2, P greater than 0.1) but did in normals (73 +/- 36%, n = 3; P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Objectives: The rising cost of anti-seizure medications (ASMs) in the United States (US) is a major concern for patients, healthcare providers, insurance payors, and policymakers. We aim to describe and analyze the spending trends on ASMs in the Medicare Part D (MPD) and Medicaid population in the US.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on the databases of MPD and Medicaid Spending by Drug from 2012 to 2022, which was published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Creating a Halotolerant Degrader for Efficient Mineralization of p-Nitrophenol-Substituted Organophosphorus Pesticides in High-Saline Wastewater.

The bioaugmentation performance is severely reduced in the treatment of high-saline pesticide wastewater because the growth and degradation activity of pesticide degraders are significantly inhibited by high salt concentrations. In this study, a heterologous biodegradation pathway comprising the seven genes mpd/pnpABCDEF responsible for the bioconversion of p-nitrophenol (PNP)-substituted organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) into β-oxoadipate and the genes encoding Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) were integrated into the genome of a salt-tolerant chassis Halomonas cupida J9, to generate a genetically engineered halotolerant degrader J9U-MP. RT-PCR assays demonstrated that the nine exogenous genes are successfully transcribed to mRNA in J9U-MP.

Background: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer and the clinicopathological behavior of PACC is not yet fully understood. PACC rarely invades the main pancreatic duct (MPD), which causes intraductal growth. Thus, herein, we have reported a rare case of PACC that invaded the MPD and disseminated to the branches of the pancreatic duct (BDs) without exhibiting any continuity with the main tumor.

Background: Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant systemic therapy have a high risk of recurrence and death. The primary analysis of KATHERINE, a phase 3, open-label trial, showed that the risk of invasive breast cancer or death was 50% lower with adjuvant trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) than with trastuzumab alone.
Methods: We randomly assigned patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer with residual invasive disease in the breast or axilla after neoadjuvant systemic treatment with taxane-based chemotherapy and trastuzumab to receive T-DM1 or trastuzumab for 14 cycles.
