The research study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the regimen of 5-flurouracil with cisplatin of investigational armwith the reference regimen of gemcitabine with cisplatin for the treatment of gallbladder cancer.Atotal of 60 patients were enrolled in the study.Out of 30 patients enrolledinarm-A (Gemcitabine withCisplatin) and 30 patients enrolledin arm-B (5-Flurouracilwith Cisplatin) for safety assessment. For the efficacy evaluation total of 16 patients enrolled which is equally divided in both arm.Total 150 cycles of chemotherapy were given to each arm of patients. Both armswere well balanced with respect to age, stage of disease and measurability.The overall response rate (ORR) was 62.5% in arm-A compared to 50% in arm-B (p = 0.34). Whereas 95% confidence interval (CI) for the efficacy was found 46.25-8.74%32.67-67.32% between arm-A and arm-B.The most prevalent toxicities were found anemia (p < 0.05), neutropenia (p < 0.05) leucopenia (p<0.05) and thrombocytopenia (p < 0.05) and it occurred at a higher rate in arm-B than in arm-A of various grades.There was no statistically significant efficacy & toxicity for gemcitabine and cisplatin with 5-flurouracil and cisplatin however there was an overall more benefit in arm-A patients than arm-B patients.

Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
The relationship between retinal fundus hemorrhage and the severity of coronary artery lesions remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the incidence of fundus hemorrhage in patients at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to examine its correlation with the SYNTAX score, a tool used to assess the complexity of coronary artery disease. This retrospective study consecutively enrolled patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Hospital from June 2019 to January 2020.

Background: Surface electromyography (sEMG) has been used in a wide range of studies conducted in the field of dysphagia.
Objectives: The main aim of this case-control study is to obtain how submental and infrahyoid sEMG signals differ based on residue, penetration and aspiration.
Methods: A total of 100 participants (50 patients with suspected dysphagia and 50 healthy controls) were enrolled in the present study.
