A dose table that provides the dose as a function of fractions of peripheral volume for 125I implants is presented. The table is based on seed distributions from 50 actual patient implants. Computer dosimetry was used to determine peripheral doses and dose ranges within implant volumes. The effects of seed distribution were also examined. The patient data and a study of computer-generated randomized seed coordinates within a given volume suggest that matched doses do not depend strongly on the exact position of each seed. The table provides the means for planning an implant to obtain a desired peripheral dose that can be directly compared with the postimplant computer dose calculation.

Introduction: Psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) may confer an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease, including major adverse cerebro-cardiovascular events (MACE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients with these conditions are often exposed for extended time periods to biologics, such as ixekizumab (IXE). Therefore, understanding the risk of CV events, especially MACE, in patients with PsO, PsA, and axSpA exposed to IXE is important.

The AEP 2025 Vaccination and Immunization Schedule recommended for children, adolescents and pregnant women residing in Spain features the following novelties: Due to the increase in measles cases and outbreaks in recent years, we recommend advancing the second dose of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to 2 years of age. As a consequence of the above, since many autonomous communities (ACs) use the quadrivalent vaccine for the second dose of MMR and varicella vaccines, we recommend, for all ACs, advancing the second dose of varicella vaccine to 2 years of age. Due to the very significant increase in cases of pertussis since late 2023 and especially in 2024, we recommend advancing the dose of Tdap given in adolescence to 10-12 years of age.

To evaluate the efficacy of domestic and imported sugammadex for reversal of rocuronium-induced deep neuromuscular block (NMB) in adult patients. The clinical data of adult patients who scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia that required muscle relaxants in Peking University First Hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were prospectively included. The patients were devided into domestic group and imported group according to random number table method.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Di Dang Tang is a classic formula from Shang Han Lun, originally used to treat conditions such as blood stasis and heat accumulation. It is widely applied in the treatment of diabetes and its complications, but its effects on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus-related Cognitive Dysfunction (T2DM-CD) remain unclear.
Aim Of The Study: The study aimed to investigate the metabolic characteristics of patients with T2DM-CD.
