Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and the most frequently occurring form of all cancers. Conventional treatments to remove or destroy basal cell carcinoma are indiscriminate and also remove or destroy normal skin cells resulting in compromised cosmetic outcomes. Consequences of these treatments include body-image issues, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and poorer quality of social and family life. A progressive topical cream formulation, Curaderm, containing the natural BEC glycoalkaloids, have shown to have advantages over conventional treatments. However, comprehensive clinical features of the skin cancer lesions during treatment with Curaderm have to date not been reported. This report shows that using unpublished data from a large number of patients with varying sizes, types and locations of basal cell carcinomas when treated with Curaderm in a phase 3 trial, an initial increase in size of the lesions occur, followed by a reverse course, leading to complete removal of the skin cancer. The specificity and mode of action of Curaderm explains the superior cosmetic outcomes when compared with conventional therapies. 展开更多

Outstanding progress regarding the pathophysiology of CD has led to the development of innovative therapeutic concepts. Numerous controlled trials have been performed in CD over the last years. However, many drugs have not been approved by regulatory authorities due to lack of efficacy or severe side effects. Therefore, well-known drugs, including 5-ASA, systemic or topical corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants such as azathioprine, are still the mainstay of CD therapy. Importantly, biologicals such as infliximab have shown to be efficacious in problematic settings such as fistulizing or steroid-dependent CD. This review is intended to give practical guidelines to clinicians for the conventional treatment of CD. We concentrated on the results of randomized, placebo-controlled trials and meta-analyses, when available, that provide the highest degree of evidence. We provide evidence-based treatment algorithms whenever possible. However, many clinical situations have not been answered by controlled clinical trials and it is important to fill these gaps through expert opinions. We hope that this review offers a useful tool for clinicians in the challenging treatment of CD. 展开更多

Most communities lack a centralized water supply system and, thus, each residence utilizes the treatment method that they can afford. This study evaluated three treatment methods for drinking water in the Njala University and Mokonde communities in southern Sierra Leone. In the perceived natural treatment, residents in the Mokonde community believe that groundwater has been purified by the soil media and, hence, does not require further treatment. In the conventional treatment, the Njala University Water Works use sand filtration and chlorine disinfection to treat water from the Taia River. The third treatment method, first flush diversion, was introduced by Njala University researchers in 2014. We studied the populations of coliform bacteria and </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">E. coli</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> in untreated and treated water samples to determine if each of the treatment methods supported the beneficial use of drinking. This study concludes that the natural filtration does not remove pathogens in the well water. Even though the first flush and conventional treatments were efficient in reducing microbial populations in the water, the World Health Organization’s 100% removal guideline was not achieved most of the time. Therefore, all three treatment methods did not support the beneficial use of drinking. Further treatment was needed to render the water potable. 展开更多

Since conventional water treatment is not affordable in developing countries,looking for locally available and alternative treatment options is mandatory.Removal of fluoride and phosphate can be achieved by designing appropriate filtration media from different materials such as sand,calcined clay,pumice,scoria and bone char.This study was designed to determine the removal efficiency of these locally available filter media with respect to detention time and pH.The filtration apparatuses(tank) were filled separately with stone,gravel with grain size 0.6-4.75 mm and 40 cm deep,sand(ES = 0.15—0.35 mm and UC = 1.5-3),calcined clay,pumice,scoria and bone char with grain size 0.25-0.5 inch.Water samples were prepared using glass bottles with fluoride concentrations of 6 and 8 mg/1 and phosphate concentration of 4 mg/1.Laboratory analysis was carried out before and after filtration to determine the removal efficiency of each medium.It was found that the highest removal of fluoride was achieved by bone char(89.65%),followed by pumice(82.4%).However,bone char has rather increased the concentration of phosphate by 63.8%.Sand was the most efficient media to remove phosphate,managing to remove by 70%.Therefore,it is an attractive option to use these locally available,environmental friendly and appropriate technologies for efficient removal of both fluorine and phosphate at the household or community water treatment level. 展开更多

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a complex medical condition characterized by substantial morbidity and a negative impact on one’s quality of life. There are several treatment approaches available, tailored to the severity of the condition, which can enhance overall quality of life. Aim: In this article, we outline a systematic approach to managing chronic urticaria, while also elucidating the available treatment strategies for cases that prove resistant to conventional therapies. To illustrate our points, we present a clinical case as a practical example. Case Presentation: Here, we present a patient with CSU since childhood who presented in the context of refractory hives and generalized arthralgia that responded well to omalizumab therapy with no further relapse. Conclusion: Omalizumab is a biological agent that offers a potential treatment option for CSU. It is available for individuals twelve years and older who have not responded well to conventional treatments. It has demonstrated good efficacy with a relatively low rate of clinically significant adverse effects. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of research regarding the optimal method for tapering the dosage and determining the duration of treatment. 展开更多

In this paper, the NU308 bearing rings were subjected to strengthen grinding treatment (SGT) at ambient temperature. And the running reliabilities of specimens that subjected to SGT and conventional treatment (CT) were respectively investigated by testing dynamic properties including the running temperature, vibrations, and surface burning. Moreover, the residual stress, microtopography, and microstructures on the cross-section were respectively tested with residual stress analyzer and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the running reliabilities of the specimen after SGT had been significantly improved with the reduction of running temperature, vibration, and surface burning. Further study showed that the specimen’s surface was filled with disordered micropores after SGT compared to the regular strip texture on the CT specimen’s surface, and the maximum residual compressive stress induced by SGT was about −900 MPa. Moreover, the thickness of the residual compressive stress layer was over 180 µm, while the thickness of severe plastic deformation layer was about 50 µm. 展开更多

While motor symptoms may be satisfactorily controlled with levodopa therapy or continuous levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) administration, autonomic, sleep and mental disorders are hard to treat. During the last years, researchers have shifted their interest more to non-motor symptoms, PD being now considered a complex multiorgan impairment. <strong>Objective:</strong> The aim of this study was to describe non-motor symptoms in 40 Romanian patients diagnosed with PD, under conventional and LCIG administration treatment. <strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, consisting of two groups of 20 patients each: the first group comprised PD patients who received conventional Levodopa treatment, while the second group was formed of patients receiving LCIG therapy. Various data concerning patient’s age, gender, duration of illness, comorbidities, motor and non-motor symptoms were recorded. The data were processed in SPSS v.20. <strong>Results: </strong>Subjects under continuous LCIG administration, although showing amelioration of motor symptoms, complained more frequently of constipation, mental, and sleeping disorders (statistically significant). Regarding anosmia, orthostatic hypotension, hypersalivation, urinary incontinence and restless legs syndrome, no statistical significant difference was observed between the two groups (p > 0.05). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Nowadays, more research is conducted on non-motor symptoms in PD patients, as therapeutic measures try to limit these burdens, in order to improve patient’s quality of life. 展开更多

Background:Acute severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning is a common severe emergency in developing countries.Our meta-analysis aimed to clarify the efficacy of hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis on acute severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning.Methods:Several databases were searched.After formulating relevant inclusion and exclusion criteria,qualified studies were included,and the data were extracted.The outcome indicators were the success rate of rescue,the time of hospitalization,the incidence of com-plications,the time for the cholinesterase level to return to normal,the coma time,and the atropine dosage.The results were analyzed using risk ratios,weighted mean difference,standard mean difference,and 95%confidence interval.The Cochrane Collaboration tool was used to assess the risk of bias in all the included studies.In terms of statistical methods,we used RevMan software(version 5.3;The Nordic Cochrane Centre,The Cochrane Collaboration,Copenhagen,Denmark)and Stata(versions 14 and 16;StataCorp,College Station,TX,USA)for the data analysis.Results:We included 92 randomized controlled trials with 6899 participants.Compared with the conventional emergency treatment group(CET group),the hemoperfusion group(HP+CET group),and the hemodialysis group(HD+CET group),the use of hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis based on CET(HP+HD+CET group)significantly increased the success rate of rescue and reduced hos-pitalization time,the incidence of complications,time for cholinesterase level to return to normal,coma time,and atropine dosage.Conclusion:Hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis is effective in the treatment of acute severe organophosphorus pesticide poi-soning.In the future,more scientifically designed,large-scale,high-quality,multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to validate this study further. 展开更多
