Strongyle infections in ponies. II. Reinfection of treated animals. (1/20023)

Five of seven ponies whose strongyle worm burdens had previously been removed or markedly reduced by repeated thiabendazole treatments were reinfected with doses ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 small strongyle infective larvae. Reinfection of ponies resulted in the development of clinical signs characterized by abnormal feces, marked loss of weight and delayed shedding of winter hair coats. An abrupt increase in circulating eosinophils occurred during the first three weeks following reinfection. Patent infections developed in all ponies with worm eggs appearing in the feces from 12 to 15 weeks after receiving infective larvae. Worm egg outputs followed a cyclic pattern with approximately four to five peaks in egg output per year. There was an abrupt drop in the high worm egg counts in two untreated ponies approximately two and a half years after reinfection. No worms were recovered in the feces of these animals when they were subsequently treated, suggesting that a depletion in the number of inhibited larvae present in these ponies might have occurred.  (+info)

Comparative molecular genetic profiles of anaplastic astrocytomas/glioblastomas multiforme and their subsequent recurrences. (2/20023)

Malignant glial tumors (anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas multiforme) arise mostly either from the progression of low grade precursor lesions or rapidly in a de novo fashion and contain distinct genetic alterations. There is, however, a third subset of malignant gliomas in which genetic lesions remain to be identified. Following surgical resection, all gliomas appear to have an inherent tendency to recur. Comparative molecular analysis of ten primary malignant gliomas (three anaplastic astrocytomas and seven glioblastomas multiforme) with their recurrences identified two distinct subgroups of recurrent tumors. In one group, primary tumors harbored genetic aberrations frequently associated with linear progression or de novo formation pathways of glial tumorigenesis and maintained their genetic profiles upon recurrence. In the other subset with no detectable known genetic mutations at first presentation, the recurrent tumors sustained specific abnormalities associated with pathways of linear progression or de novo formation. These included loss of genes on chromosomes 17 and 10, mutations in the p53 gene, homozygous deletion of the DMBTA1 and p16 and/ or p15 genes and amplification and/or overexpression of CDK4 and alpha form of the PDGF receptor. Recurrent tumors from both groups also displayed an abnormal expression profile of the metalloproteinase, gel A, and its inhibitor, TIMP-2, consistent with their highly invasive behavior. Delineation of the molecular differences between malignant glioblastomas and their subsequent recurrences may have important implications for the development of rational clinical approaches for this neoplasm that remains refractory to existing therapeutic modalities.  (+info)

Paediatric, invasive pneumococcal disease in Switzerland, 1985-1994. Swiss Pneumococcal Study Group. (3/20023)

BACKGROUND: Cost effective use of new vaccines against pneumococcal disease in children requires detailed information about the local epidemiology of pneumococcal infections. METHODS: Data on 393 culture-confirmed cases of invasive pneumococcal infection in children (<17 years) hospitalized in Swiss paediatric clinics were collected retrospectively for the years 1985-1994. RESULTS: Meningitis (42%) was most frequent, followed by pneumonia (28%) and bacteraemia (26%). The overall annual incidence was 2.7 cases per 100000 children <17 years old and 11 cases per 100000 children <2 years old. Annual incidence rates were stable over the study period. Lethality was high for meningitis (8.6%) and bacteraemia (8.9%). A history of basal skull fracture was reported in 3.3% of children with pneumococcal meningitis. Residence in a rural region was associated with an increased risk of pneumococcal infection (relative risk = 1.45, 95% confidence interval: 1.01-2.00). CONCLUSIONS: Paediatric, invasive pneumococcal disease seems to be less frequent in Switzerland than in other European and non-European countries. This may be due to differences in diagnostic strategies and lower frequency of risk factors such as the use of day care. Children with a history of basal skull fracture are at increased risk for pneumococcal meningitis. Further investigation of the association of invasive pneumococcal infection with rural residence and the use of antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections might give new insight into the dynamics of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and the development of antibiotic resistance.  (+info)

Longitudinal evaluation of serovar-specific immunity to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. (4/20023)

The serovars of Neisseria gonorrhoeae that are predominant in a community change over time, a phenomenon that may be due to the development of immunity to repeat infection with the same serovar. This study evaluated the epidemiologic evidence for serovar-specific immunity to N. gonorrhoeae. During a 17-month period in 1992-1994, all clients of a sexually transmitted disease clinic in rural North Carolina underwent genital culture for N. gonorrhoeae. Gonococcal isolates were serotyped according to standard methods. Odds ratios for repeat infection with the same serovar versus any different serovar were calculated on the basis of the distribution of serovars in the community at the time of reinfection. Of 2,838 patients, 608 (21.4%; 427 males and 181 females) were found to be infected with N. gonorrhoeae at the initial visit. Ninety patients (14.8% of the 608) had a total of 112 repeat gonococcal infections. Repeat infection with the same serovar occurred slightly more often than would be expected based on the serovars prevalent in the community at the time of reinfection, though the result was marginally nonsignificant (odds ratio = 1.5, 95% confidence interval 1.0-2.4; p = 0.05). Choosing partners within a sexual network may increase the likelihood of repeat exposure to the same serovar of N. gonorrhoeae. Gonococcal infection did not induce evident immunity to reinfection with the same serovar.  (+info)

Validation of the Rockall risk scoring system in upper gastrointestinal bleeding. (5/20023)

BACKGROUND: Several scoring systems have been developed to predict the risk of rebleeding or death in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). These risk scoring systems have not been validated in a new patient population outside the clinical context of the original study. AIMS: To assess internal and external validity of a simple risk scoring system recently developed by Rockall and coworkers. METHODS: Calibration and discrimination were assessed as measures of validity of the scoring system. Internal validity was assessed using an independent, but similar patient sample studied by Rockall and coworkers, after developing the scoring system (Rockall's validation sample). External validity was assessed using patients admitted to several hospitals in Amsterdam (Vreeburg's validation sample). Calibration was evaluated by a chi2 goodness of fit test, and discrimination was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS: Calibration indicated a poor fit in both validation samples for the prediction of rebleeding (p<0.0001, Vreeburg; p=0.007, Rockall), but a better fit for the prediction of mortality in both validation samples (p=0.2, Vreeburg; p=0.3, Rockall). The areas under the ROC curves were rather low in both validation samples for the prediction of rebleeding (0.61, Vreeburg; 0.70, Rockall), but higher for the prediction of mortality (0.73, Vreeburg; 0.81, Rockall). CONCLUSIONS: The risk scoring system developed by Rockall and coworkers is a clinically useful scoring system for stratifying patients with acute UGIB into high and low risk categories for mortality. For the prediction of rebleeding, however, the performance of this scoring system was unsatisfactory.  (+info)

Transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale using the Amplatzer septal occluder to prevent recurrence of neurological decompression illness in divers. (6/20023)

OBJECTIVE: Large flap valve patent foramens may cause paradoxical thromboembolism and neurological decompression illness in divers. The ability of a self expanding Nitinol wire mesh device (Amplatzer septal occluder) to produce complete closure of the patent foramen ovale was assessed. PATIENTS: Seven adults, aged 18-60 years, who had experienced neurological decompression illness related to diving. Six appeared to have a normal atrial septum on transthoracic echocardiography, while one was found to have an aneurysm of the interatrial septum. METHODS: Right atrial angiography was performed to delineate the morphology of the right to left shunt. The defects were sized bidirectionally with a precalibrated balloon filled with dilute contrast. The largest balloon diameter that could be repeatedly passed across the septum was used to select the occlusion device diameter. Devices were introduced through 7 F long sheaths. All patients underwent transthoracic contrast echocardiography one month after the implant. RESULTS: Device placement was successful in all patients. Device sizes ranged from 9-14 mm. The patient with an aneurysm of the interatrial septum had three defects, which were closed with two devices. Right atrial angiography showed complete immediate closure in all patients. Median (range) fluoroscopy time was 13.7 (6-35) minutes. Follow up contrast echocardiography showed no right to left shunting in six of seven patients and the passage of a few bubbles in one patient. All patients have been allowed to return to diving. CONCLUSION: The Amplatzer septal occluder can close the large flap valve patent foramen ovale in divers who have experienced neurological decompression illness. Interatrial septal aneurysms with multiple defects may require more than one device.  (+info)

Outcome of pregnancy in women with congenital shunt lesions. (7/20023)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of pregnancy in women with congenital shunt lesions. SETTING: Retrospective study in a tertiary care centre. METHODS: Pregnancy history was obtained by a standardised questionnaire and medical records were reviewed. PATIENTS: 175 women were identified, at a mean (SD) age of 42 (14) years. Pregnancies occurred in 126 women: 50 with an atrial septal defect, 22 with a ventricular septal defect, 22 with an atrioventricular septal defect, 19 with tetralogy of Fallot, and 13 with other complex shunt lesions. RESULTS: 309 pregnancies were reported by 126 woman (2.5 (1.6) pregnancies per woman). The shortening fraction of the systemic ventricle was 40 (8)%, and 98% were in New York Heart Association class I-II at last follow up. Spontaneous abortions occurred in 17% of pregnancies (abortion rate, 0.4 (0.9) per woman). Gestational age of the 241 newborn infants was 8.8 (0.8) months. There were no maternal deaths related to pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia and embolic events were observed in 1.3% and 0.6%, respectively of all pregnancies. Women with complex shunt lesions more often underwent caesarean section (70% v 15-30%, p = 0.005) and gave birth to smaller babies for equivalent gestation (2577 (671) g v 3016 (572) to 3207 (610) g, p < 0.05). The recurrence risk of congenital heart disease was 2.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of pregnancy is favourable in women with congenital shunt lesions if their functional class and their systolic ventricular function are good. Such patients can be reassured.  (+info)

Recurring myocardial infarction in a 35 year old woman. (8/20023)

A 35 year old woman presented with acute myocardial infarction without any of the usual risk factors: she had never smoked; she had normal blood pressure; she did not have diabetes; plasma concentrations of total cholesterol and high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, fibrinogen, homocysteine, and Lp(a) lipoprotein were normal. She was not taking oral contraceptives or any other medication. Coronary angiography showed occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery but no evidence of arteriosclerosis. Medical history disclosed a previous leg vein thrombosis with pulmonary embolism. Coagulation analysis revealed protein C deficiency. The recognition of protein C deficiency as a risk factor for myocardial infarction is important as anticoagulation prevents further thrombotic events, whereas inhibitors of platelet aggregation are ineffective.  (+info)

Guidance To Improve The Collecting And Reporting Of Data On Relapse In Children Following Treatment In Wasting Programmes | ENNGuidance To Improve The Collecting And Reporting Of Data On Relapse In Children Following Treatment In Wasting Programmes | ENN
In mid-2017, the Council of Research & Technical Advice on Acute Malnutrition (CORTASAM) led the implementation of a global research prioritisation exercise for the treatment of wasting1. Over 300 individuals from 63 countries and 167 organisations participated in this survey. This exercise identified key research areas that are priorities to achieve scale-up of treatment of wasting by 20202.. One of the top five global research priority questions focuses on relapse rates post-discharge from treatment for wasting; namely: "What are the rates and causal factors of post-discharge relapse from treatment across contexts? How can relapse be reduced?" A recent literature review3 focussing on relapse following treatment of wasting found very little data in this area, as well as considerable variation in both the definition of relapse and in the approach to measuring it across research and programmes. Timescales for defining relapse varied greatly. Studies used either active follow-up or passive ...
GanglionGanglion
If the ganglion is asymptomatic it may not require any treatment whatsoever.. Conservative management of a ganglion consists of aspiration of the jellylike fluid and an injection of a steroid solution into the ganglion sac. This may be effective in preventing long-term recurrence in approximately 30% of patients.. If a ganglion recurs following aspiration and is symptomatic it can be removed by a small operation which is normally carried out either by numbing the arm or under a general anaesthetic. This is usually successful in preventing long-term recurrence in 70-80% of patients.. ...
Entropy | Free Full-Text | A New Process Monitoring Method Based on Waveform Signal by Using Recurrence PlotEntropy | Free Full-Text | A New Process Monitoring Method Based on Waveform Signal by Using Recurrence Plot
Process monitoring is an important research problem in numerous areas. This paper proposes a novel process monitoring scheme by integrating the recurrence plot (RP) method and the control chart technique. Recently, the RP method has emerged as an effective tool to analyze waveform signals. However, unlike the existing RP methods that employ recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) to quantify the recurrence plot by a few summary statistics; we propose new concepts of template recurrence plots and continuous-scale recurrence plots to characterize the waveform signals. A new feature extraction method is developed based on continuous-scale recurrence plot. Then, a monitoring statistic based on the top- approach is constructed from the continuous-scale recurrence plot. Finally, a bootstrap control chart is built to detect the signal changes based on the constructed monitoring statistics. The comprehensive simulation studies show that the proposed

Buckeye Surgeon: MammositeBuckeye Surgeon: Mammosite
Now certainly, these issues ought to be addressed by the surgeon performing the definitive operation. Inability to comply with the demands of radiation therapy is a valid counterindication to BCT. But the non-compliance issue has prompted a search for alternative strategies. Radiation is given to reduce recurrence rates to a level comparable to mastectomy. Omission of radiation doesnt necessarily worsen survival, but recurrence rates are unacceptably high without it. New data has suggested that 70% of recurrences after lumpectomy occur in the area of the resected tumor bed. Furthermore, the incidence of recurrence in other quadrants of the breast is equivalent when comparing BCT with or without post operative radiation. This raises the question: Can we simply irradiate the tumor bed and thusly achieve local control with longterm recurrence rates equal to the standard of whole breast irradiation ...

1203.0586] An Undecidable Nested Recurrence Relation1203.0586] An Undecidable Nested Recurrence Relation
Abstract: Roughly speaking, a recurrence relation is nested if it contains a subexpression of the form ... A(...A(...)...). Many nested recurrence relations occur in the literature, and determining their behavior seems to be quite difficult and highly dependent on their initial conditions. A nested recurrence relation A(n) is said to be undecidable if the following problem is undecidable: given a finite set of initial conditions for A(n), is the recurrence relation calculable? Here calculable means that for every n ,= 0, either A(n) is an initial condition or the calculation of A(n) involves only invocations of A on arguments in {0,1,...,n-1}. We show that the recurrence relation A(n) = A(n-4-A(A(n-4)))+4A(A(n-4)) +A(2A(n-4-A(n-2))+A(n-2)). is undecidable by showing how it can be used, together with carefully chosen initial conditions, to simulate Post 2-tag systems, a known Turing complete problem ...

Recurrence Relations | Brilliant Math & Science WikiRecurrence Relations | Brilliant Math & Science Wiki
A recurrence relation is an equation that uses recursion to relate terms in a sequence or elements in an array. It is a way to define a sequence or array in terms of itself. Recurrence relations have applications in many areas of mathematics: number theory - the Fibonacci sequence combinatorics - distribution of objects into bins calculus - Eulers method and many more. Recurrence relations are used when an exhaustive approach to problem solving is simply too ...

Although the mathematical integrability underlying this fact is well understood, this simple topological recurrence appeals for a direct combinatorial interpretation which is, so far, not known. The purpose of the talk is to relate this question to properties of continuum random surfaces of genus g (a.k.a. Brownian maps, conjecturally linked to Liouville quantum gravity). Namely, we give a simple recursive slicing procedure of the surfaces that gives rise to a non-linear recurrence for the numbers t_g. This recurrence features unknown constants that are naturally interpreted as observables of nearest-neighbour Voronoï tessellations around random vertices in Brownian surfaces. By comparing with the Painlevé-I equation, we identify these moments, which are unexpectedly simple and suggest that our (my) understanding of high-genus random surfaces is still very incomplete. ...

Re^2: Determine if a given DateTime is a member of a DateTime::SetRe^2: Determine if a given DateTime is a member of a DateTime::Set
DateTime::Set is fine to use, but calendar math has these mysterious details, and recurrence specifications are particularly hard.. The specialised "DateTime::Event" subclasses can make life easier. DateTime::Event::Sunrise and DateTime::Event::Cron are other nice examples.. About the endpoint that makes it work: when both endpoints of the set are known, it triggers an optimisation that pre-calculates the whole set. The internal representation then changes to a list. This "fixes" the problem, because no further recurrence math is involved.. ...

Recurrence relations for spherical waves - James - 1996 - Radio Science - Wiley Online LibraryRecurrence relations for spherical waves - James - 1996 - Radio Science - Wiley Online Library
This paper derives new recurrence relations for scalar spherical waves in Cartesian coordinates and compares the performance of these relations with that of traditional recurrence relations. They are numerically stable for travelling waves and some standing waves, and are faster for evaluating scalar spherical waves up to order 40 on a nonspherical surface. Because of their algebraic simplicity, they will be especially useful for symbolic-algebra computer programs, allowing explicit expressions for scalar and vector spherical waves to be obtained using a succinct procedure. ...
RICHARD CHARTIER : Recurrence - CD - LINE - Forced ExposureRICHARD CHARTIER : Recurrence - CD - LINE - Forced Exposure
In 2011, Chartier began a series of new works, Recurrence, which revisits the Series elements and reworks them into entirely new compositions. Drawn to the original sounds Chartier felt that they could be re-composed. The form they have taken contains isolated and discreet events strewn across the sound field, creating a strange landscape and altered sense of space. A full studio version of Recurrence (Series) is accompanied on this release with Recurrence (Room/Crosstones), an exploration of room tones and other low frequency wave recordings. The Recurrence works are a continuing reflection on the major aesthetic elements of Chartiers artistic language as it has evolved through the years." ...

Global recurrences of multi-time scaled systemsGlobal recurrences of multi-time scaled systems
We develop here the rst steps of a long-term investigation on multi-time scaled systems with some spatial heterogeneity. They can be characterized by a slow-variation of \actions interspaced by local fast variations of \angles. The principle of construction of these systems is presented on a rst example where the actions are periodic solutions of a planar Hamiltonian system. Once the fast perturbation of the angles is added, the whole system displays kind of bursting oscillations (characterized by the alternate of quiescent phases interspaced by fast oscillations) although it is completely integrable. In this rst example, the full analysis of the underlying recurrence is possible. We then discuss a second example which has been discovered by Rossler in the 70s and which inspired this study. This example looks paradigmatic of the complex global recurrences these systems may have.

Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis in a 9-year-old BoyChronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis in a 9-year-old Boy
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare aseptic, auto-inflammatory bone disorder. CRMO presents with bone pain with or without fever. The diagnosis of CRMO is a diagnosis of exclusion and should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bone lesions in children. Cultures of the bone are typically sterile, antibiotic therapy does not result in clinical improvement whereas anti-inflammatory drugs improve the condition. Furthermore, biopsy should be considered in chronic and relapsing bone pain and swelling unresponsive to treatment. Herein, we present a nine-year-old boy complaining of recurrent pain in his upper and lower extremities. On examination he had mild fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. He also had experienced bone pain and weight loss in the recent month. Based on biopsy and bone scan he was finally diagnosed with CRMO. Naproxen and Pamidronate was prescribed and he was getting better and returned to normal life and activity without need to

Researchers Focus on Likelihood of Breast Cancer RecurrenceResearchers Focus on Likelihood of Breast Cancer Recurrence
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say theyve identified a genetic indicator of the long-term risk of breast cancer recurrence.. They compared three gene signature methods of predicting the risk of recurrence in patients treated for estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. They found that only the breast cancer index (BCI) -- a "biomarker" based on the expression levels of seven tumor-specific genes -- accurately identifies patients who continues to be at risk for breast cancer recurrence after five years of treatment with either tamoxifen or anastrozole, a drug in the aromatase inhibitor class.. The other two methods examined in the study were the Oncotype Dx Recurrence Score, the current gold standard for guiding clinical decision making, and the ICH4 gene signature, which is used less frequently used.. All three methods were able to predict recurrence risk in the first five years, but only the breast cancer index was able to accurately assess long-term recurrence risk, ...

The patients were predominantly men (20/23:87%) between 45-77 years of age. 22 patients were staged as 4a (TNM version 7) and 1 was metastatic at presentation. Excluding the metastatic patient, over half received induction chemotherapy (12/22:55%). The majority received radical chemo-radiotherapy (19/22:86%). Recurrence post treatment occurred between 5-58 months, (median = 14 months). In 10 patients, recurrence was within 12 months, in 12 patients, over 12 months. Site of primary disease or delivery of induction chemotherapy did not influence timing of recurrence. Current smokers were more likely to recur early (,12 months) compared to non-smokers. The most frequent sites of disease recurrence were lung (n=10), bone (n=9), liver (n=6) or within the oropharynx (n=11). In early recurrence, local disease was most prevalent. In later recurrences, bone and lung metastases were most frequently seen. 18/23 (78%) patients died from their disease with a mean time from disease recurrence to death of 9.4 ...

Locoregional and Distant Recurrence Patterns in Young versus Elderly Women Treated for Breast Cancer. - OpenEmoryLocoregional and Distant Recurrence Patterns in Young versus Elderly Women Treated for Breast Cancer. - OpenEmory
Objective. This study examined recurrence patterns in breast cancer patients younger than age of 40 and older than age of 75, two groups that are underrepresented in clinical trials and not routinely screened by mammography. Methods. The records of 230 breast cancer patients (n = 125 less than 40 and n = 105 greater than 75) who presented to the Emory University Department of Radiation Oncology for curative treatment between 1997 and 2010 were reviewed. Data recorded included disease presentation, treatment, and areas of locoregional recurrence. Results. Women less than 40 years of age had higher rates of locoregional recurrence (20% versus 7%, P = 0.004) and distant recurrence (18% versus 5%, P = 0.003) than patients above 75 years of age. On multivariate analysis, patient age less than 40 was the only significant predictor of locoregional recurrence (P = 0.018). In a univariate analysis of each age group, receptor status and postlumpectomy radiation were significant predictors of locoregional ...
Vonoprazan prevents low-dose aspirin-associated ulcer recurrence: randomised phase 3 study | GutVonoprazan prevents low-dose aspirin-associated ulcer recurrence: randomised phase 3 study | Gut
This is the first study to assess the safety and efficacy of vonoprazan for the prevention of peptic ulcer recurrence in patients receiving long-term LDA therapy. The double blind, randomised phase of the study demonstrated that vonoprazan 10 mg and 20 mg were non-inferior to lansoprazole 15 mg in the prevention of peptic ulcer recurrence over 24 weeks of treatment. The protective effect of vonoprazan was long lasting, as demonstrated by the low cumulative incidence of both peptic ulcer recurrence and bleeding of the stomach/duodenum during the long-term (up to 2 years) extension study, and there were relatively few safety concerns associated with vonoprazan. Although concern has previously been noted that long-term PPI administration may cause decreased absorption of vitamin B12, calcium and/or magnesium, in our study there was no fluctuation in the serum levels during the prolonged study period. Together, these results indicate that vonoprazan is an effective alternative treatment to PPIs for ...

Recurrence of membranous nephropathy after renal transplantation has been reported either anecdotally or in a few series. In the present study, the potential risk factors as well as hitherto unreported actuarial risk for recurrence and graft loss due to recurrence were evaluated by combining data of a series of transplanted patients with MN at Louvain Medical School (n = 12) and at Lyon (n = 18; previously reported by Couchoud et al. 1995) giving a total of 30 patients. No risk factor for recurrence was identified as there was no statistical difference between the patients with and without recurrence for duration of MN in native kidneys or of pretransplant hemodialysis, presence of HLA-DR3, graft origin and use of cyclosporin. Actuarial risk for recurrence reached 29% at 3 years, plateauing up to 10 years. The outcome of recurrence was poor since the actual risk for graft loss among patients with recurrent MN was 38 and 52% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. ...
Breast Cancer - Recurrence - GuidingLightBooks.com®Breast Cancer - Recurrence - GuidingLightBooks.com®
The second type of recurrence is regional in nature. By regional we mean that the cancer has come back outside of the original breast and lymph node area. This is considered to be more serious than a local recurrence, but not as serious as a distant recurrence. The areas in which regional spread of the disease occur include the chest muscles (pectoral), the lymph nodes surrounding the neck area, the internal breast lymph nodes in the breast bone and rib areas and in the lymph nodes above the collarbone. This type of recurrence is rare. The third and most serious type of recurrence is called a distant recurrence. This is also referred to as a metastasis. The areas where distant spread can occur are most likely to occur are bone (25%), liver, brain, bone marrow, lungs or other organs. Sometimes this is referred to as metastatic disease or Stage IV breast cancer. The survival rate becomes much lower once metastasis occurs, with a life expectancy of 18 months on the average after discovering it. ...

New Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Is Twice as Sensitive as CEA Test - The ASCO PostNew Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Is Twice as Sensitive as CEA Test - The ASCO Post
In a new report published by Young et al in Cancer Medicine, a two-gene circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) blood test for postsurgical monitoring of colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence has been shown to detect twice the number of recurrence cases as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) testing, a standard of care component for CRC recurrence monitoring in patients who have undergone surgery. The test measures the presence of BCAT1 and IKZF1 gene methylation, a chemical modification associated with tumor growth and invasion. Preliminary data from this study were presented in January at the ASCO 2016 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (Abstract 495). The ctDNA test is produced by Clinical Genomics..

Postoperative complications do not impact on recurrence and survival after curative resection of gastric cancer.Postoperative complications do not impact on recurrence and survival after curative resection of gastric cancer.
BACKGROUND: We assessed the impact of complications on recurrence and survival after curative gastric cancer resection. METHODS: Patients undergoing R0 resections between 1990 and 2009 were identified in a prospectively maintained database and were categorized by presence of any complication Clavien-Dindo (CD) ≥ II, sepsis or intra-abdominal sepsis. Cox regression analyses to relate complications and clinico-pathological variables to time to recurrence (TTR) and overall survival (OS) were performed. RESULTS: A total of 271 patients were included with a median follow-up of 149.9 months (range 140.1-159.9). complications CD ≥ II occurred in 162 (59.8%) patients, sepsis in 66 (22.5%), and intra-abdominal sepsis in 37 (13.6%). Recurrence developed in 88 (32.4%) patients. Independent predictors of short TTR were pTNM stage (IIIB-IIIC vs. IA-IIA) (hazard ratio [HR] = 37.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 17.57-80.24; p , 0.001), D1 lymphadenectomy (HR = 3.14, 95% CI 1.94-5.07; p , 0.001), and male ...

The concept of the time-dependence of the occurrence of large events on a given geologic structure emerged from the elastic rebound theory of Reid (1910). Models were developed or chosen to account for it. For the most part, those models need the long-term recurrence time, a measure of the allowed short-term variability of the recurrence time (e.g., the coefficient of variation CoV), and are applied in conjunction with the time since the last event whenever possible. Geologic estimates of the long-term have been used for a long time. CoV values, on the other hand, were first assigned usually through a logic-tree approach featuring a preferred value and one or two alternative values. Later-on a generic CoV value was determined on a global dataset (Elssworth et al 1999). It is only recently that earthquake timing data at a site have become numerous and high resolution enough to warrant data-constrained estimates of CoV. Whereas a logic-tree approach, meant to formulate epistemic uncertainties, ...

We have evaluated the performance of TOF-MRA as a predictor of recurrent stroke/TIA at 7 days in patients with TIA. We found that ,50% stenosis or occlusion of a large proximal intracranial symptomatic artery was significantly associated with recurrent stroke/TIA.. The usefulness of MRA to predict stroke recurrence after TIA has been previously reported by other investigators. Coutts et al8 found a greater risk of recurrent stroke at 90 days among 120 patients with TIA or minor stroke in the presence of an intracranial vessel occlusion on MRA. Our study confirms this finding and further suggests that both stenosis and occlusion of a symptomatic intracranial artery may have an impact on the risk of clinical recurrence. We were able to assess the influence of vascular lesion location and found that only proximal vessel lesions were associated with increased risk of early recurrence. Patients with such vascular lesions were at high (27.3%) risk of early recurrence in our study. The sensitivity of ...

Children in resource-poor settings are at risk of multiple episodes of diarrhea, enteric infections, and environmental enteropathy, an inflammatory disorder of the intestines that compromises nutrient absorption (1). In cross-sectional analyses, repeated episodes of diarrhea and chronic environmental enteropathy in early childhood are associated with reduced growth and cognitive function, and impaired school performance which can reduce income later in life (2-8). Although more evidence is needed to establish causal links, repeated episodes of childhood diarrhea and enteric infection may exact a long-run toll, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and ill health.. Infection and inadequate diet are proximate risk factors for undernutrition and early life growth faltering; the two processes likely act reciprocally in a vicious cycle that perpetuates physiologic and metabolic deficits and increases the risk of mortality. Children who exhibit growth faltering are more likely to have deficits in cognitive ...

A work group of experts in bipolar disorder reviewed prior efforts to define clinical course indicators for unipolar depression and for schizophrenia. Using these efforts as templates, the work group developed consensus operational definitions. The rationale for each of the definitions was a point of time when a treatment decision needed to be made. The group defined response as a 50% reduction in a score from a standard rating scale of symptomatology from an appropriate baseline, regardless of index episode ...
Skeptical Scalpel: Monday Mornings: The second episodeSkeptical Scalpel: Monday Mornings: The second episode
Dr. Tina Ridgeway, the female neurosurgeon who is destined to hook up with the hunky neurosurgeon with nightmares (another Dr. Jekyll? See "Do No Harm"), presented a case at M&M conference. The patient, a chef, suffered olfactory nerve damage during a craniotomy for a meningioma. She acknowledged that she relied on the resident to obtain informed consent. This is not permitted in most hospitals. The chief of surgery then castigates her for allowing the resident to do the case. When I was a chief of surgery, I usually was faced with the opposite problem. Some of the attending staff were not letting the residents do enough ...

Social Conflict 7: Recurrence - The Ovarian Cancer ProjectSocial Conflict 7: Recurrence - The Ovarian Cancer Project
Synopsis: All women with ovarian cancer deserve to understand the facts about recurrence that are relevant to their case and receive appropriate preventative care. But to the patient, her support network, and her care team, the work of dealing with an initial diagnosis and treatment is already a huge challenge. Whether they had recurred or not, patients in our discussion groups said they wish they had known more about recurrence sooner, but many were also uncertain when or how they would have preferred to receive this knowledge.. Patient voices: "I did eleven months of chemo and I thought it was over. My boyfriend and I celebrated. Honest to God, nobody told me, You have to be so worried that this is gonna come back. We knew the possibility of recurrence was there, but nobody was like You really need to pay attention to your body. You really need to listen to whats going on.". "It was much harder for me to deal with my first recurrence than it was to deal with the diagnosis, emotionally. ...

Large meta-analyses to support dose-intensification strategies for the treatment of breast cancer have been lacking. Study investigators performed a meta-analysis of 25 trials in which more than 34,000 patients with early-stage breast cancer were treated with some form of dose-intensification strategy. Administering patients the same drugs but for a shorter interval was shown to reduce the absolute risk for breast cancer recurrence by 4.3% at 10 years when compared with standard 3-week regimens, according to trials involving more than 10,000 women. Dose-dense regimens were also associated with 2.8% lower breast cancer-specific mortality rates at 10 years when compared with standard chemotherapy. Among more than 11,000 women, 28.1% of those treated with sequential therapy experienced disease recurrence, compared with 31.25% of those treated concurrently. Those treated sequentially had a 1.9% lower rate of 10-year mortality. Among more than 6,500 women, absolute recurrence rates at 10 years were ...

BACKGROUND: About half of patients with Crohns disease (CD) require surgery within 10 years of diagnosis. Resection of the affected segment is highly effective, however the majority of patients experience clinical recurrence after surgery. Most of these patients have asymptomatic endoscopic recurrence weeks or months before starting with symptoms. This inflammation can be detected by colonoscopy and is a good predictor of poor prognosis.Therapy guided by colonoscopy could tailor the management and improve the prognosis of postoperative CD. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of prophylactic therapy guided by colonoscopy in reducing the postoperative recurrence of CD in adults. SEARCH METHODS: The following electronic databases were searched up to 17 December 2019: MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Clinical Trials.gov, WHO Trial Registry and Cochrane IBD specialized register. Reference lists of included articles, as well as conference proceedings were handsearched. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised ...

Relapse remains a major therapeutic challenge in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Outcome after relapse may improve if preemptive therapy is initiated at first evidence of leukemia regrowth. Early detection of imminent relapse requires molecular measurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring after therapy completion. Today, this is possible only in about 40% of children with AML that harbor genetic abnormalities applicable for quantification using standardized qPCR assays. To enable disease surveillance for all patients, we developed patient-tailored deep sequencing (DS) MRD analysis, which provides highly sensitive detection of leukemia-specific mutations. We investigated the potential of this method for early relapse detection in peripheral blood (PB), the only easily accessible source for MRD sampling in children. PB samples were collected at monthly intervals during follow-up from 45 children diagnosed with AML and treated according to The Nordic Society of Pediatric Haematology and ...

If you have repeated episodes of SVT, an operation called catheter ablation is the recommended treatment option. This prevents further episodes of SVT by destroying the tiny parts of the heart causing the problems in the hearts electrical system.. Catheter ablation is a safe and highly effective treatment, and means you no longer need to take medication. It cures SVT in over 95% of people and is the recommended treatment worldwide.. During catheter ablation, a thin wire called a catheter is inserted into a vein in your upper leg or groin, before being guided to your heart by an electrophysiologist (a heart specialist who specialises in abnormal heartbeats and rhythms). When the wire reaches the heart, it records the electrical activity to pinpoint the precise location of the problem.. When the problem area is found, high-frequency radiowaves are transmitted to the catheter tip to destroy it, producing a small scar.. Youll remain awake during this procedure, but will be given a sedative to ...

After a median FU of 49 months, 10% patients develop recurrent thromboembolism and all were in AF and yet again mean INR was 1.4 at the time of recurrent event. After a primary CE event, the five-year rate of recurrent CE or thromboembolism was 8.7% while the five year MACCE was 27.1%. The median time to a second episode of CE or thromboembolism was 35 months. Authors also performed a propensity score matched cohort consisting of 45 patients with CE and 45 patients without CE. Based on this analysis all-cause mortality (HR, 7.66; 95% CI, 1.65 to 35.45; p,0.001) and cardiac mortality (HR, 9.29; 95% CI, 1.13 to 76.5; p,0.001) were much higher in the CE group than in the non-CE group. Authors conclude that the prevalence of CE in patients with AMI was 2.9% and AF was the most frequent cause. Long-term outcomes indicate that CE patients represent a high-risk subpopulation of patients with AMI and therefore require close follow-up ...

Recurrences for elliptic hypergeometric integralsRecurrences for elliptic hypergeometric integrals
Author(s): Rains, Eric M. | Abstract: In recent work (math.QA/0309252) on multivariate hypergeometric integrals, the author generalized a conjectural integral formula of van Diejen and Spiridonov to a ten parameter integral provably invariant under an action of the Weyl group E_7. In the present note, we consider the action of the affine Weyl group, or more precisely, the recurrences satisfied by special cases of the integral. These are of two flavors: linear recurrences that hold only up to dimension 6, and three families of bilinear recurrences that hold in arbitrary dimension, subject to a condition on the parameters. As a corollary, we find that a codimension one special case of the integral is a tau function for the elliptic Painlev#x27;e equation.

Project MUSE - Nietzsche on Loneliness, Self-Transformation, and the Eternal RecurrenceProject MUSE - Nietzsche on Loneliness, Self-Transformation, and the Eternal Recurrence
Abstract Abstract:. Nietzsches presentation of the eternal recurrence in Gay Science 341 is often viewed as a practical thought experiment meant to radically transform us. But exactly why and how we are supposed to be transformed is not clear. I contend that addressing these issues requires taking a close look at the psychological setting of the passage. The eternal recurrence is presented in our "loneliest loneliness." I argue that facing the eternal recurrence from a state of profound loneliness both motivates self-transformation and contributes toward helping us succeed at that project.. ...

The Truth Behind Bipolar DisorderThe Truth Behind Bipolar Disorder
Technically there is no cure for bipolar disorder. However, the disease can be managed to the extent that the individual with the condition can take part in the productive day to day activities. Mental health professionals use a combination of medication and therapy for bipolar disorder treatment.. Bipolar disorder is a lifelong mental illness. An approach that includes evidence based psychotherapy and medication is generally considered to be effective in addressing most of the debilitating symptoms of the disease. However, being a lifelong mental illness the individual may experience relapses during and after treatment.. It is important for friends, family and loved ones not to look at relapses as evidence of failure. The condition is managed by consistently addressing the symptoms. Relapses can be beneficial during the treatment process as they provide insights into the underlying patterns of thought that may be making the condition worse. ...

David Fischell, CEO of Angel Medical Systems spoke with our host at the AdvaMed Conference 2011 in Washington D.C. to discuss AngelMeds latest Medical Device.. AngelMed came to AdvaMed to talk about their implantable heart attack detection system called the AngelMed Guardian Cardiac Monitor and Alert System that "detects and warns patients of acute episodes of cardiac ischemia related to the progression of coronary artery disease and coronary occlusion caused by vulnerable plaque ruptures". Once an individual has a heart attack, the chance of a second episode is very likely, and with AngelMeds Cardiac Monitor, patients will know roughly 9-12 hours before their second heart attack occurs, giving them ample time to get themselves to a hospital, according to Fischell. The device has a vibrator and alert system to notify the patient that they need to call 911 and/or get to a hospital immediately.. ...

The incidence of allergic conditions has continued to rise over the past several decades, with a growing body of research dedicated toward the treatment of such conditions. By driving a complex range of changes in the underlying immune response, immunotherapy is the only therapy that modulates the immune system with long-term effects and is presently utilized for the treatment of several atopic conditions. Recent efforts have focused on identifying biomarkers associated with these changes that may be of use in predicting patients with the highest likelihood of positive clinical outcomes during allergen immunotherapy (AIT), providing guidance regarding AIT discontinuation, and predicting symptomatic relapse and the need for booster AIT after therapy ...
