BackgroundPneumonia and bloodstream infections (BSI) due to extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii, XDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are associated with high mortality rates, therapeutic options remain limited. This trial assessed whether combination therapy colistin meropenem was superior monotherapy for the treatment of these infections.MethodsThe OVERCOME (Colistin Monotherapy versus Combination Therapy) an international,...
Altered alcohol consumption patterns after traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to significant impairments in TBI recovery. Few preclinical models have been used examine use across distinct phases of the post-injury period, leaving mechanistic questions unanswered. To address this, aim this study was describe histological and behavioral outcomes a noncontusive closed-head mouse, which sensitivity were quantified, addition dopaminergic signaling markers. We hypothesized that would alter...
Abstract The histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) has recently been shown to inhibit deleterious effects of cytokines on β‐cells, but it is unable protect β‐cells from death due its own cytotoxicity. Herein, we investigated novel HDAC inhibitors for their cytoprotective against IL‐1β‐induced damage isolated β‐cells. We report that three compounds (THS‐73–44, THS‐72–5 and THS‐78–5) significantly inhibited activity increased the acetylation H4 in Further, these exerted no...

Abstract The cAMP /protein kinase A pathway regulates methamphetamine ( METH )‐induced neuroplasticity underlying behavioral sensitization. We hypothesize that adenylyl cyclases AC ) 1/8 mediate these neuroplastic events and associated striatal dopamine regulation. Locomotor responses to (1 5 mg/kg) function were evaluated in mice lacking DKO wild‐type WT mice. Only mg/kg induced an acute locomotor response mice, which was significantly attenuated versus controls. showed a marked attenuation...
Abstract Histone (de)acetylases control gene transcription via modification of the chromatin structure. Herein, we investigated potential roles for histone deacetylation (or hypoacetylation) in interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β)‐mediated inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and (NO) release insulin‐secreting INS 832/13 (INS) cells. Western blot analysis suggested localization members Class 1 2 families deacetylases (HDACs) these Trichostatin A (TSA), a known inhibitor HDACs, markedly reduced...
Background Fetal exposure to alcohol can have multiple deleterious effects, including learning disorders and behavioral executive functioning abnormalities, collectively termed fetal spectrum disorders. Neonatal mice lacking both calcium‐/calmodulin‐stimulated adenylyl cyclases ( AC s) 1 8 demonstrate increased vulnerability ethanol (EtOH)‐induced neurotoxicity in the striatum compared with wild‐type WT ) controls. However, developmental impact on surviving neurons is still unclear. Methods...
Impaired striatal neuroplasticity may underlie increased alcoholism documented in those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB1) is sensitive to the effects of ethanol (EtOH) and traumatic stress, a critical regulator plasticity. To investigate CB1 involvement PTSD-alcohol interaction, this study measured using model PTSD, mouse single-prolonged (mSPS), on EtOH-induced locomotor sensitization levels.
Background Breast cancer mortality rates are 39% higher in the African-American (AA) women compared to White-American (WA) despite advances overall breast screening and treatments. Several studies have undertaken identify factors leading this disparity United States with possible effects of lower socioeconomic status underlying aggressive biology. Methods A retrospective analysis was done using a prospectively maintained database metropolitan health system. Patients were selected based on...
Neuroadaptive responses to chronic ethanol, such as behavioral sensitization, are associated with <i>N</i>-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) recruitment. Ethanol enhances GluN2B-containing NMDAR function and phosphorylation (Tyr-1472) of the GluN2B-NMDAR subunit in dorsal medial striatum (DMS) through a protein kinase A (PKA)–dependent pathway. Ethanol-induced PKA substrates is partially mediated by calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclase 1 (AC1), which enriched striatum. As such, AC1 poised...
Evidence suggests a predictive link between elevated basal activity within reward-related networks (e.g., cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic networks) and vulnerability for alcoholism. Both calcium channel function cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A-mediated signaling are critical modulators of reward neurocircuitry behaviors. Calcium/calmodulin-stimulated adenylyl cyclases (AC) 1 8 sensitive to activity-dependent increases in intracellular catalyze cAMP production....

This study analyzes a survey conducted at gathering of clinicians who specialize in breast cancer sub-Saharan Africa to better understand what they need from international collaborators.
We evaluated 328 patients (34.8% African American [AA]; 65.2% White [WA]) with hormone receptor-positive, HER2/neu-negative breast cancer. Mean age (60 years); mean tumor size (1.6 and 1.7 cm for AA WA, respectively) were similar, BMI was higher (33 vs 29.8; P = 0.001). Recurrence score (RS) distribution similar- 8.3% 5.9% WA high RS (≥31). No significant differences observed in delivery of chemotherapy stratified by score. With median follow-up 27.2 months 33.4 distant recurrence occurred...

Navigating health and social care in the United States can be difficult for people of all ages, but older adults often have multiple problems, chronic illnesses, disabilities that increase complexities their care. To assist adult patients and/or caregivers with coordinating care, providing information, advocacy, resources, Henry Ford Health (HFH) implemented a Senior Care Navigation Program (SCNP). Older HFH or were referred to SCNP either by provider another member team. A senior navigator...
