They might be discovered incidentally or, in case of rupture, they may lead to hemoabdomen. Nevertheless, splenectomy followed by histopathology is essential for diagnosis and to prevent rupture. Yet, this invasive procedure might be postponed for dogs with benign splenic nodular lesions. Conversely, owners may opt for euthanasia over surgery for malignancies with poor prognosis like hemangiosarcoma. Thus, anticipating diagnosis with non-invasive biomarkers is crucial for proper patient management. In this prospective study, plasma samples were collected from 66 dogs with histologically confirmed splenic nodular lesions. A canine-specific ELISA kit was applied to assess nucleosome concentration, with histopathology of the spleen serving as the gold standard. Nucleosome concentration was found to be significantly higher in dogs with malignant splenic nodular lesions, particularly in those with hemangiosarcoma and other malignancies. The presence of hemoabdomen, more prevalent in dogs with splenic malignancy, also resulted in increased plasmatic nucleosome concentrations. Plasma nucleosomes could serve as a biomarker for detecting malignant splenic nodular lesions in dogs. More research is needed to understand how nucleosome concentration relate to disease stage and prognosis in dogs with hemangiosarcoma.</p>","PeriodicalId":7,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Polymer Materials","volume":"44 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11373370/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142121120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent investigation revealed the presence of early-stage lesions in cows affected by HBS. These are presumed to be the initial stage of the hematoma, as both share unique dissection of the lamina muscularis mucosae (LMM) as histological hallmark. Early-stage lesions of HBS have not been characterized in greater detail, and neither has the hypothesis of mucosal abrasion as etiology been explored. Therefore, the first objective of the present study was to characterize the morphology of early-stage lesions, by gross examination, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy. The second objective was to determine the effect of mucosal abrasion to the small intestine in an <i>ex vivo</i> model. A total of 86 early-stage lesions from 10 cows with HBS were characterized. No underlying alterations at the LMM were evident which could explain their occurrence. However, degeneration at the ultrastructural level of the LMM smooth muscle cells was present in 3 of 4 lesions, it is however unclear whether this is primary or secondary. Bacteriological examination did not reveal any association with a specific bacterium. Experimental-induced and early-stage lesions were gross and histologically evaluated and scored in three cows with HBS and seven controls. Experimentally induced lesions in both affected cows and controls, were histologically very similar to the naturally occurring early-stage lesions.

Patients were titrated to fixed-dose brexpiprazole 2 mg/day from Week 1. Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; primary outcome) and clinical and laboratory variables. Efficacy was assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) 17-item total score, and Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) score.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In total, 247 patients [rollover, n = 216; de novo (previously unexposed), n = 31] were included in the safety/efficacy populations, and 138 (rollover, n = 132; de novo, n = 6; 55.9%) completed the study.

TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 26.7% of patients receiving brexpiprazole and 58.1% of de novo patients.

Lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a promising tool to evaluate respiratory conditions in neonates. This evaluation is mainly based on the interpretation of visual patterns (horizontal artifacts, vertical artifacts, and consolidations). Automated interpretation of these patterns can assist clinicians in their evaluations. However, developing AI-based solutions for this purpose is challenging, primarily due to the lack of annotated data and inherent subjectivity in expert interpretations. This study aims to propose an automated solution for the reliable interpretation of patterns in LUS videos of newborns. We employed two distinct strategies. The first strategy is a frame-to-video-level approach that computes frame-level predictions from deep learning (DL) models trained from scratch (F2V-TS) along with fine-tuning pre-trained models (F2V-FT) followed by aggregation of those predictions for video-level evaluation. The second strategy is a direct video classification approach (DV) for evaluating LUS data. To evaluate our methods, we used LUS data from 34 neonatal patients comprising of 70 exams with annotations provided by three expert human operators (3HOs). Results show that within the frame-to-video-level approach, F2V-FT achieved the best performance with an accuracy of 77% showing moderate agreement with the 3HOs. while the direct video classification approach resulted in an accuracy of 72%, showing substantial agreement with the 3HOs, our proposed study lays down the foundation for reliable AI-based solutions for newborn LUS data evaluation.</p>","PeriodicalId":7,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Polymer Materials","volume":"183 ","pages":"109315"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142590267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
