OBJECTIVE |
Our purpose was to determine the rates of recurrence, persistence, and progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in women who were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus after excisional therapy with and without highly active antiretroviral therapy. |
STUDY DESIGN |
The records of 118 women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, 56 of whom were infected with human immunodeficiency virus and 62 of whom were not infected, were examined to compare outcomes. Demographic, behavioral, and clinical indices were analyzed. |
RESULTS |
Of 54 women infected with human immunodeficiency virus, 31 (57.4%) had persistent or recurrent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, in comparison with 10 (16.7%) of 60 noninfected women (P <.01). Progression occurred in 4 (16.7%) of 54 in the infected group and in 3 (5.0%) of 60 in the noninfected group (P <.05). In 21 ... |
CONCLUSION |
Women infected with human immunodeficiency virus had high rates of recurrent and persistent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia despite standard therapy. Low CD4(+) levels and margin involvement of specimens obtained by loop electrosurgical excision are risk factors for recurrence. The use of highly active antiretrovira... |

BACKGROUND |
The gastrointestinal tract (GI) is constantly exposed to reactive species released by the GI tract itself, and those present in food and beverages. Phenolic compounds may help in protecting the GI tract against damage produced by the reactive species. In this paper we have analyzed the effects of a grape seed proanthoc... |
RESULTS |
We show that GSPE prevents tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress in both cell lines, and that the effects are dose and time dependent. We have also analyzed whether GSPE has any in vivo effect, and found that 25 mg kg(-1) body weight cannot counteract the increase in intestinal ROS induced by the cafeteria d... |
CONCLUSION |
Natural proanthocyanidin-rich extracts have an antioxidant effect in the GI tract, acting on absorptive cells and enterohormone-secreting cells, although the effects depend on the dose and period of treatment. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry.Photo- and electroluminescence of new organic semiconductors |

OBJECTIVE |
To assess the use of n-of-1 trials for short-term choice of drugs for osteoarthritis, with particular reference to comparing the efficacy of sustained-release [SR] paracetamol with celecoxib in individual patients. |
METHODS |
Evaluation of community-based patients undergoing n-of-1 trials which consisted of double-blind, crossover comparisons of celecoxib 200 or 400 mg/day with sustained-release paracetamol 1330 mg three times a day in three pairs of 2 week treatment periods per drug with random order of the drugs within pairs. Outcomes eva... |
RESULTS |
Although on average, celecoxib showed better scores than SR paracetamol [0.2 (0.1) for pain, 0.3 (0.1) for stiffness and 0.3 (0.1) for functional limitation], 33 of the 41 individual patients (80%) failed to identify the differences between SR paracetamol and celecoxib in terms of overall symptom relief. Of the eight p... |
CONCLUSIONS |
N-of-1 trials may provide a rational and effective method to best choose drugs for individuals with osteoarthritis. SR paracetamol is more useful than celecoxib for most patients of whom management is uncertain.[Typological peculiarities of giant gastric ulcer]. |
Of 1441 patients operated on, the giant gastric ulcer was revealed in 16.6%. It is characterized by polymorphism: several ulcers were revealed in 7.6%, coexistent gastric and duodenal ulcer--in 19.8% and, in contradistinction to genuine gastric ulcer (I type--according to Johnson), by high frequency of such complicatio... |
We study algorithms and lower bounds for k-selection and sorting in the SINR model. For the problem of finding the k-th smallest value in the network, we provide a O(log n) algorithm based on the aggregation trees presented in [3]. We argue that any algorithm using this approach has runtime Ω(log n/ log log n). We show... |

A mixture of NADH, cytochrome-C-reductase and methylene blue was employed to antagonize ferri(met)-Hb formation during oximetries of dilute samples of human Hb-A. Its efficacy is clear at any pH between 6.8, 7.3 and 7.8, in the presence of 100 mM NaCl. In these cases, ferri(met)-Hb decreases of about 2/3, compared with... |
It has long been known that the release of neurotransmitters and hormones requires the presence of extracellular Ca2+ (del Castillo and Katz, 1954; Douglas, 1968). According to the classical "calcium hypothesis," the release of neurotransmitters is trigsered pnmanly by the depolarization-evoked rapid Ca2' entry into th... |
BACKGROUND |
Little is known about the prevalence of hypoglycaemia in older people with diabetes. However, the HbA1c goal is ≥8% for institutionalised patients with treatments that can cause hypoglycaemia. |
PURPOSE |
We aimed to assess the prevalence of hypoglycaemia with continuous glucose monitoring and to evaluate the link with HbA1C in older institutionalised patients with diabetes taking potentially hypoglycaemia-inducing drugs. |
DESIGN |
Prospective, multicentre study carried out in six geriatric care centres in the Côte d'Or region of France between January 2019 and July 2020. |
SETTINGS, SUBJECTS AND METHODS |
A FreeStyle Libre Pro® (FSLP) was worn for up to 14 days in blinded mode in 42 patients taking at least one potentially hypoglycaemia-inducing antidiabetic drug. |
RESULTS |
Two hundred and forty-two hypoglycaemic events were detected in 79% (n = 33) of patients wearing the FSLP. One or more hypoglycaemic event was detected in 100% of patients with HbA1C < 7% and in 79% of patients with HbA1C ≥ 8% (P = 0.02). The time spent in hypoglycaemia was higher in patients with HbA1C < 7% than those... |
