A 60s man was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer(cT4b[PAN], cN+, cM0, cStage ⅣA). He started first-line chemotherapy consisting of S-1 and cisplatin, but tumor markers remained elevated and CT showed cancer progression. He then started second-line chemotherapy consisting of ramucirumab and paclitaxel. The tumor markers decreased, and CT revealed tumor regression. A distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was performed as conversion surgery. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged early from the hospital. A histological analysis confirmed complete resection of the Grade 1a tumor. The RAM plus PTX regimen was restarted on postoperative day 57. At 15 months postoperative, the patient remained alive and relapse-free.

Buprenorphine and postpartum contraception utilization among people with opioid use disorder: a multi-state analysis.

Addict Sci Clin Pract

Departments of Family and Community Medicine and Health and Clinical Outcomes Research, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, MO, USA.

Background: The postpartum period provides an opportunity for birthing people with opioid use disorder (OUD) to consider their future reproductive health goals. However, the relationship between the use of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and contraception utilization is not well understood. We used multistate administrative claims data to compare contraception utilization rates among postpartum people with OUD initiating buprenorphine (BUP) versus no medication (psychosocial services receipt without MOUD (PSY)) in the United States (US).

Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) is a critical determinant influencing the short-term prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and is associated with increased mortality rates among hospitalized individuals. AIS frequently coexists with coronary heart disease (CHD), complicating treatment and leading to more severe symptoms and worse outcomes. Shared risk factors between CHD and AIS, especially elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), contribute to atherosclerosis and inflammation, which worsen brain tissue damage.

Avian coccidiosis is one of the many disorders that seriously harm birds' digestive systems. Nowadays the light is shed on using Phytochemical/herbal medicines as alternative natural anti-coccidial chemical-free standards. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the impact of lawsonia inermis powder (LIP), and Acacia nilotica aqueous extract (ANAE), on growth performance, serum biochemical, antioxidant status, cytokine biomarkers, total oocyst count and intestinal histopathology of broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis.

Benchmark of Data Integration in Single-Cell Proteomics.

Anal Chem

January 2025

Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Precision Diagnosis and Therapy for Major Gynecological Diseases, Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310058, China.

Single-cell proteomics (SCP) detected based on different technologies always involves batch-specific variations because of differences in sample processing and other potential biases. How to integrate SCP data effectively has become a great challenge. Integration of SCP data not only requires the conservation of true biological variances, but also realizes the removal of unwanted batch effects.

Background: Case management is a structured, client centered approach that incorporates various strategies such as employing lay counsellors to provide psychosocial and adherence support to strengthen antiretroviral (ART) adherence, improve retention in care and viral load (VL) suppression. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of case management on VL in clients enrolled due to non-suppression (> = 50 copies/ml) in Capricorn District, Limpopo Province.

Methods: We conducted a case control study using two datasets (1) cases were selected from case management data collected from June 2021 to November 2022 at 35 facilities and captured on the REDCap system.
