Background Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy and are associated with the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Personal health monitors (PHM) can facilitate change in health behaviors, though few studies have examined their use in improving sleep during pregnancy. This pilot study aimed to characterize sleep changes during pregnancy in women participating in a self-management intervention using a PHM. Participants/Methods Participants with low risk, singleton pregnancies from Western Massachusetts were randomized at 24 weeks gestation to receive sleep education only (n = 12) or sleep education, and PHM intervention (n = 12). The single-session sleep education was given at baseline by a registered nurse. Sleep quality, duration, efficiency, disturbances, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue were assessed at baseline and 12 weeks follow-up using questionnaires. We described mean ± standard deviation within and between-group changes in each sleep outcome from baseline to 12 weeks follow-up. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tpen.html Results The PHM arm experienced larger sleep quality improvements and daytime sleepiness than the sleep-education only arm, but the differences were not statistically significant. In the PHM arm, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score decreased (i.e., sleep quality increased) 1.22 ± 2.39 (p = .16), and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score decreased (i.e., daytime sleepiness decreased) 1.11 ± 2.08 (p = .15). In the sleep-education arm PSQI decreased 0.57 ± 2.37 (p = .55) and ESS decreased 1.29 ± 2.93 (p = .29). Neither group experienced statistically significant changes in sleep duration, efficiency, disturbances, or fatigue. Conclusion Sleep education with PHM may improve or prevent decreases in sleep outcomes during pregnancy. Further investigation in larger trials is warranted.Aims To test the hypothesis that in non-diabetic patients with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), the renal excretion of urate and glucose transportation are coupled and interconnected. Methods A cross-sectional study of 255 non-diabetic participants with stage 1-2 CKD recruited from our department was conducted. Spearman's correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to study the correlation between urinary glucose and renal uric acid excretion. ANOVA was used to compare urinary uric acid excretion among three tertiles of urinary glucose (UG; UG1 UG3.99 μmol/L). Results According to the multiple linear regression analysis, FEG and EgGF were positively correlated with the excretion of uric acid per volume of glomerular filtration (EurGF) after adjusting for confounding factors. The EurGF levels in the highest tertiles of UG, FEG and EgGF were higher than those in the lowest tertiles of UG, FEG and EgGF. Conclusion Urinary glucose excretion is closely related to renal excretion of uric acid in non-diabetic patients with stage 1-2 CKD. To measure and compare progression in children's power mobility skill among process and task-based measures following a loan of one of four early power mobility devices. Additionally, to explore different power mobility learner groups and skill development trajectories. In this pre-post study, children were purposefully sampled and power mobility skill was measured from video taken pre-post several months' experience (mean 192.40; SD 42.79 days) using the Assessment of Learning Powered mobility use (ALP) and two task-based measures. Associations among power mobility skill measures were examined. Child and environmental factors influencing ALP phase at loan-end were explored. Forty-six children aged 13 - 68 months (mean 40.40; SD 15.60) participated, with cerebral palsy being the most common condition ( = 33; 71.74%). ALP change scores ranged from -2 to +4 ALP phases (median 1.0). Wilcoxon signed rank test was significant for pre-post differences with a large effect size ( = 5.50, < 0.001; =se can demonstrate positive change in power mobility skill using different devices and switch as well as joystick access methods The Assessment of Learning Powered mobility use (ALP) is useful for assessing tool-use and learning process skills for young children across the power mobility skill continuum. Task-based measures may also be helpful for guiding training and recording progress; The Power Mobility Training Tool (PMTT) is most useful for children exploring cause-effect and direction (ALP Phases 1-5), while the Power Mobility Program (PMP) is most useful for functional learners and those progressing from exploring direction to functional use (ALP Phases 5-8). Access method may influence power mobility learning trajectory and training.Dexamethasone was shown to decrease the mortality in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) recently. Use of corticosteroids was harmful in other coronavirus infections previously. WHO recommended against routine use of corticosteroids in COVID-19. In view of these, we reviewed the evidence about the use of corticosteroids in virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Corticosteroids are beneficial in ARDS regardless of etiology. However, they increased the mortality rate in influenza-associated ARDS. In SARS and the Middle East respiratory syndrome, corticosteroids increased the mortality, delayed the viral clearance and increased the length of hospital stay. In the case of COVID-19, the available evidence from retrospective and observational studies is inconclusive about the corticosteroid use. Low-dose therapies appear to be effective. Evidence from a randomized control study found dexamethasone is effective in decreasing mortality in severe COVID-19 cases. More studies are needed to validate the benefit of corticosteroids in COVID-19. Although chest CT has been widely used in patients with COVID-19, its role for early diagnosis of COVID-19 is unclear. We report the diagnostic performance of chest CT using structured reporting in a routine clinical setting during the early phase of the epidemic in Germany. Patients with clinical suspicion of COVID-19 and moderate-to-severe symptoms were included in this retrospective study. CTs were performed and reported before RT-PCR results (reference standard) became available. A structured reporting system was used that concluded in a recently described five-grade score ("CO-RADS"), indicating the level of suspicion for pulmonary involvement of COVID-19 from 1 = very low to 5 = very high. Structured reporting was performed by three Radiologists in consensus. In 96 consecutive patients (50 male, mean age 64), RT-PCR was positive in 20 (21%) cases. CT features significantly more common in RT-PCR-positive patients were ground-glass opacities as dominant feature, crazy paving, hazy margins of opacities, and multifocal bilateral distribution ( < 0.
