Chronic health conditions are overrepresented among jail or prison inmates but often go untreated during incarceration and following release. We describe the Bronx Transitions Clinic, a partnership between a community-based organization and an academic medical center, which facilitates connections to medical care for formerly incarcerated people.

Background/purpose: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignancy often associated with poor prognosis due to chemoresistance. In this study, we investigated whether arecoline, a major alkaloid in betel nuts, can stimulate aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) levels in OSCC, promoting cancer stemness and leading to resistance to cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy.

Materials And Methods: Gain- and Loss- of AKR1B10 functions were analyzed using WB and q-PCR of OSCC cells.

Background/purpose: The impact of thermal behavior on the clinical performance of gutta-percha points (GP) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the thermal behavior of three different types of GP and their temperature changes (TC) in a simulated clinical environment.

Materials And Methods: The GP tested were Conform Fit® Gutta-Percha Points (CF), Autofit™ Feathered Tip Gutta Percha (AF), and Gutta Percha Root Canal Points (GC).

Outcomes and risk factors of transported patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: An ECMO center experience.

J Intensive Med

January 2025

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Critical Care Medicine, Trauma Center, Zhongda Hospital, School of Medicine, Southeast University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been proven to be a support method and technology for patients with cardiopulmonary failure. However, the transport of patients under ECMO support is challenging given the high-risk technical maneuvers and patient-care concerns involved. Herein, we examined the safety of ECMO during the transport of critically ill patients and its impact on mortality rates, to provide more secure and effective transport strategies in clinical practice.

Synthetic organ models such as organoids and organ-on-a-chip have been receiving recognition from administrative agencies. Despite the proven success of organoids in predicting drug efficacy on laboratory scales, their translational advances have not fully satisfied the expectations for both clinical implementation and commercial applications. The transition from laboratory settings to clinical applications continues to encounter challenges.
