Single use [zb3] instrument ,Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion ,Lean Methodology - Abstract
Surgical procedures are costly due to staffing, medication use and processing and maintenance of surgical equipment. Surgical procedures involve a varying quantity of instrumentation depending on several factors including the degree of difficulty of the procedure and the individual surgeon’s needs and preferences. Most facilities process unused surgical tools wasting labor and costs. Trimming costs while maintaining quality of care is a constant challenge in healthcare. This review discusses utilizing lean methodology to discover waste with surgical tools, implementing changes to common surgical tools and the feasibility of incorporating disposable tools.

BackgroundSyphilitic alopecia (SA), which mimics other types of alopecia, is an uncommon manifestation of secondary syphilis. Trichoscopic features may facilitate its diagnosis. However, studies on SA and its trichoscopic characteristics remain limited.ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemiological, clinical, and trichoscopic findings and laboratory results, treatment, and outcomes of SA in Thai patients as well as to comprehensively summarize all trichoscopic features of SA through a systematic review.MethodsData on patients diagnosed with SA between December 2010 and December 2021 were obtained from their medical records and analyzed retrospectively. A systematic review of trichoscopic data, both from our institution and from studies registered in the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, was conducted. A descriptive summarization was performed to comprehensively study the trichoscopic features of SA.ResultsOf the 205 patients with secondary syphilis, 23 patients with SA (symptomatic SA: 20, essential SA: 3) were included. The mean age was 27.6 ± 8.8 years, and male predominance was noted. The moth-eaten pattern was the most common SA presentation, and the parieto-occipital scalp was the most commonly affected area. All patients with SA achieved significant hair regrowth within 3 months of antibiotic therapy. Trichoscopic images were available for 20 patients with SA from our institute and were included in the systematic review. Fourteen articles provided information on 21 patients. Overall (N = 41), 26 (63.4%), 8 (19.5%), and 7 (17.1%) patients had moth-eaten alopecia, diffuse alopecia, and mixed alopecia, respectively. The most frequent trichoscopic finding was short regrowing hairs (78%), followed by decreased hair per follicular unit (75.6%), and empty follicles (51.2%). Unique features included flame hairs, bent tapering hairs, reddish-brown background, and brown rings around the perifollicular areas, each described in one case. However, the results were based only on case reports and small case series.ConclusionsGiven the progressively increasing frequency of SA, trichoscopic examination may be valuable when SA is suspected in patients with idiopathic alopecia; however, our findings are quite non-specific. The absence of exclamation mark hairs may help in the diagnosis of SA. Further comparative studies on other types of alopecia are required to determine the most useful diagnostic features.

Inactivated Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine (Sinovac Life Sciences, Beijing) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been used in many countries. However, its immunogenicity profile in immunosuppressed dermatological patients is lacking. This prospective observational case-control study compared the humoral immune response between adult dermatological patients receiving systemic immunosuppressive therapies (n = 14) and those who did not (n = 18); excluding patients with HIV infection, cancer, non-dermatological autoimmune conditions, previous COVID-19 infection, and positive anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) IgG prior to vaccination. The subjects were advised to withhold methotrexate for 1 week after each vaccine dose while continuing other therapies unadjusted. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody, surrogate neutralizing antibody (sNAb), and seroconversion rates (calculated from the percentages of participants in the group with positive sNAb) were used to assess immunogenicity. We found that participants using azathioprine, cyclosporin, mycophenolate mofetil, or prednisolone ≥ 10 mg/day had a lower level of serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody and sNAb than those received methotrexate ≤ 10 mg/week, prednisolone < 10 mg/day, or biologics (i.e., secukinumab, ixekizumab, omalizumab). Patients who received methotrexate ≤ 10 mg/week, prednisolone < 10 mg/day or the biologics had a similar immunogenicity profile to those without immunosuppressive therapies. Despite the lack of statistical significance, a reduction of humoral immune response was observed among the study participants who used ≥2 immunosuppressants or pemphigus patients. Our findings suggest that a subset of patients with immune-mediated skin conditions respond poorly to the vaccine despite having low-level immunosuppression. These patients could benefit from vaccines that trigger a greater level of immunogenicity or booster doses.

Williams, David, Banks, Octavia, Eichmeyer, Livia, and Wu, Cherrin
- Abstract
Recent GCSE and IGCSE specifications include reference to both permanent and induced magnetism, giving the opportunity for novel classroom demonstrations based on ferromagnetism and paramagnetism, and the transition between these phases. Ferromagnetic materials lose their magnetism if raised above their Curie Temperature, a specific temperature unique to each substance. The methods presented below describe demonstrations of this phase transition. The research was conducted in part by Year 11 students.

- Abstract
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) encompass a heterogeneous group of rare autoimmune diseases characterised by muscle weakness and inflammation, but in antisynthetase syndrome arthritis and interstitial lung disease are more frequent and often inaugurate the disease. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been proposed for IIMs, but they are sparse and heterogeneous. This work aimed at identifying: i) current available CPGs for IIMs, ii) patients ' and clinicians' unmet needs not covered by CPGs. It has been performed in the framework of the European Reference Network on rare and complex connective tissue and musculoskeletal diseases (ReCONNET), a network of centre of expertise and patients funded by the European Union's Health Programme. Fourteen original CPGs were identified, notably recommending that: i) extra-muscular involvements should be assessed; ii) corticosteroids and methotrexate or azathioprine are first-line therapies of IIMs. ii) IVIG is a treatment of resistant-DM that may be also used in other resistant-IIMs; iii) physical therapy and sun protection (in DM patients) are part of the treatment; v) tumour screening for patients with DM include imaging of chest, abdomen, pelvis and breast (in woman) along with colonoscopy (in patients over 50 years); vi) disease activity and damages should be monitor using standardised and validated tools. Yet, only half of these CPGs were evidence-based. Crucial unmet needs were identified both by patients and clinicians. In particular, there was a lack of large multidisciplinary working group and of patients ' preferences. The following fields were not or inappropriately targeted: diagnosis; management of extra-muscular involvements other than skin; co-morbidities and severe manifestations.

Nye, Kathleen, Cherrin, Craig, and Meires, Jan
- Abstract
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that restricts food intake for specific periods. Studies have shown that intermittent fasting can be an effective method for weight loss because it reduces overall calorie intake and increases metabolism. However, consulting a health care professional before starting any new diet or exercise regimen is recommended. This article presents an overview of intermittent fasting, its pathophysiology, associated health benefits, and adverse effects, and provides a guide for the provider in prescribing it.

- Abstract
Effective small interfering RNA (siRNA)–mediated therapeutics require the siRNA to be delivered into the cellular RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Quantitative information of this essential delivery step is currently inferred from the efficacy of gene silencing and siRNA uptake in the tissue. Here we report an approach to directly quantify siRNA in the RISC in rodents and monkey. This is achieved by specific immunoprecipitation of the RISC from tissue lysates and quantification of small RNAs in the immunoprecipitates by stem–loop PCR. The method, expected to be independent of delivery vehicle and target, is label-free, and the throughput is acceptable for preclinical animal studies. We characterized a lipid-formulated siRNA by integrating these approaches and obtained a quantitative perspective on siRNA tissue accumulation, RISC loading, and gene silencing. The described methodologies have utility for the study of silencing mechanism, the development of siRNA therapeutics, and clinical trial design.

- Abstract
The PI3K-Akt pathway is dysregulated in the majority of solid tumors. Pharmacological inhibition of Akt is a promising strategy for treating tumors resistant to growth factor receptor antagonists due to mutations in PI3K or PTEN. We have developed allosteric, isozyme-specific inhibitors of Akt activity and activation, as well as ex vivo kinase assays to measure inhibition of individual Akt isozymes in tissues. Here we describe the relationship between PK, Akt inhibition, hyperglycemia and tumor efficacy for a selective inhibitor of Akt1 and Akt2 (AKTi). In nude mice, AKTi treatment caused transient insulin resistance and reversible, dose-dependent hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Akt1 and Akt2 phosphorylation was inhibited in mouse lung with EC50values of 1.6 and 7 μM, respectively, and with similar potency in other tissues and xenograft tumors. Weekly subcutaneous dosing of AKTi resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of LNCaP prostate cancer xenografts, an AR-dependent tumor with PTEN deletion and constitutively activated Akt. Complete tumor growth inhibition was achieved at 200 mpk, a dose that maintained inhibition of Akt1 and Akt2 of greater than 80% and 50%, respectively, for at least 12 hours in xenograft tumor and mouse lung. Hyperglycemia could be controlled by reducing Cmax, while maintaining efficacy in the LNCaP model, but not by insulin administration. AKTi treatment was well tolerated, without weight loss or gross toxicities. These studies supported the rationale for clinical development of allosteric Akt inhibitors and provide the basis for further refining of pharmacokinetic properties and dosing regimens of this class of inhibitors.
