Background: Alongside the evolution of interventional endoscopy, the need for a more sophisticated closure tool tailored to the treatment of new challenging indications has been increasing rapidly.
Methods: We here present our collected data on 262 Over-The-Scope-Clip (OTSC®) placements in a total of 233 interventions at our institution. Follow-up was focused on clinically lasting success with regards to different indications.
Results: Immediate success of OTSC® treatment was observed in 87.1% of all sessions (203/233). The success rates were as follows: spontaneous bleeding 84.8% (28/33); iatrogenic bleeding 100% (20/20); acute perforation 90.3% (65/72); prophylaxis for perforation 100% (24/24); anastomotic leakage 61.1% (11/18); fistulae 80.7% (46/57); diameter reduction of the gastrojejunal anastomosis 100% (6/6); and stent fixation 100% (3/3). At 30-day follow-up, the overall success rate was 67.4% (157/233). The success rates were as follows: spontaneous bleeding 69.7% (23/33); iatrogenic bleeding 90% (18/20); acute perforation 86.1% (62/72); prophylaxis for perforation 100% (24/24); anastomotic leakage 33.3% (6/18); fistulae 29.8% (17/57), diameter reduction of the gastrojejunal anastomosis 83.3% (5/6); and stent fixation 66% (2/3).
Conclusions: Our cohort confirms previous data on the clinical usefulness of the OTSC® in daily routine practice.

Background: Many transgender women with HIV achieve suboptimal advancement through the HIV Care Continuum, including poor HIV health care usage, retention in HIV medical care, and rates of viral suppression. These issues are exacerbated by comorbid conditions, such as substance use disorder, which is also associated with reduced quality of life, increased overdose deaths, usage of high-cost health care services, engagement in a street economy, and cycles of incarceration. Thus, it is critical that efforts to End the HIV Epidemic include effective interventions to link and retain transgender women in HIV care through full viral suppression.

Context: The timing of a woman's final menstrual period (FMP) in relation to her age is considered a valuable indicator of overall health, being associated with cardiovascular, bone health, reproductive, and general mortality outcomes.
Objective: This work aimed to evaluate the relationship between hormones and the "time to FMP" when daily hormone trajectories are characterized by their 1) entropy, and 2) deviation from premenopausal/stable cycle patterns (representing a textbook "gold standard"; GS).
Methods: As part of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation, urinary luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen conjugates (E1C), and pregnanediol glucuronide (PDG) were measured daily from a multiracial sample of 549 mid-life women for the duration of one menstrual cycle.

Calcineurin governs baseline and homeostatic regulations of non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice.

Sleep need accumulates during waking and dissipates during sleep to maintain sleep homeostasis (process S). Besides the regulation of daily (baseline) sleep amount, homeostatic sleep regulation commonly refers to the universal phenomenon that sleep deprivation (SD) causes an increase of sleep need, hence, the amount and intensity of subsequent recovery sleep. The central regulators and signaling pathways that govern the baseline and homeostatic sleep regulations in mammals remain unclear.
