Given trial data and NCCN guidelines, more consistent use of dexamethasone for mSBO may represent an opportunity for quality improvement.

The Dynamic Duo of Electrical and Thyroid Storm Caused by Amiodarone (Zone 4, Science and Technology Hall, Level 3; Poster Board no. 4108) - Aug 20, 2022 - Abstract #AHA2022AHA_6225; Amiodarone is the most efficacious medication for VT. However, it is important to recognize possible life-threatening complications of this medication, such as AIT, which itself can exacerbate VT.

Double seropositive inflammatory myositis with anti-PL-7 and anti-Mi-2 antibodies (Poster area - Ballroom B1-B2) - Aug 20, 2022 - Abstract #WMS2022WMS_191; We started intravenous methylprednisolone, then transitioned to oral prednisolone...To date, the overlapping clinical features, pathogenesis, or treatment guideline for double MSAs in inflammatory myositis are not clear. Further studies will be needed to bring out better clinical outcomes.

Journal: Establishment of a system evaluating the contractile force of electrically stimulated myotubes from wrinkles formed on elastic substrate. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 18, 2022 Notably, it was found that changes in the index related to contractile force can detect atrophic or hypertrophic phenotypes more sensitively than changes in myotube diameter or myosin heavy chain expression, both commonly used to evaluate myotube function. These results suggest that our proposed system will be an effective tool for assessing the contractile force-related state of myotubes, which are available for the development of drugs to prevent and/or treat muscle weakness.

Journal: Methods for Establishing a Renal Cell Carcinoma Tumor Spheroid Model With Immune Infiltration for Immunotherapeutic Studies. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 17, 2022 We present a protocol for RCC dissociation using Liberase TM and introduce a culture medium containing Epithelial Growth Factor and Hydrocortisone allowing for faster growth of RCC primary cells...Finally, we provide an example of application by implementing an immune spheroid killing assay allowing observing increased spheroid destruction after treatment with PD-1 inhibitors. Thus the straightforward methods presented here allow for efficient spheroid formation for a simple RCC 3D model that can be standardized and infused with immune cells to study immunotherapies.
