SAN FRANCISCO , Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative (QLHC), sponsor of the I-SPY COVID Trial, announced that the Pulmozyme® (dornase alfa) arm of the trial has been terminated. The interim analysis suggests that the addition of Pulmozyme® to treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19 is unlikely to achieve statistically significant improvement in efficacy. The I-SPY COVID Trial was designed to rapidly screen agents that show promise for two primary endpoints: reducing the time to recovery (defined as reduction in oxygen demand) or risk of mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The study utilizes QLHC's adaptive platform trial design methodology, which focuses on the simultaneous, efficient assessment of multiple investigational agents. Pulmozyme® was selected for inclusion in the I-SPY COVID Trial because of its potential to break up and clear deleterious neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) from

A sitz bath (derived from the German word sitzen , meaning "to sit") is a plastic tub filled with water used to treat conditions affecting the anorectal area (the area around the anus and rectum). The tub fits over the toilet so that you can sit in a pool of warm water for 15 to 20 minutes to alleviate discomfort associated with episiotomy, hemorrhoids, fistulas, anal fissures, and other anorectal conditions. ​ Photo by Amazon A sitz bath can also be performed by soaking in a shallow tub with or without therapeutic additives, such as Epsom salt. This is sometimes referred to as a "hip bath" because the water only comes up to the hip bone. Preparation You can buy a sitz bath at many drugstores for around $10. You can also find them at hospital pharmacies or medical supply stores. If you think you'll need a sitz bath following surgery or childbirth, you can ask a hospital staff member to provide you one prior to your discha

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have discovered that the absence of Adiponectin receptor 1 protein (AdipoR1), one of the principal enzymes regulating ceramide homeostasis in the retina, leads to an accumulation of ceramides in the retina, resulting in progressive photoreceptor cell death and ultimately vision loss. The team also found that a combination of desipramine and L-cycloserine reduced lowered ceramide levels, which protected photoreceptors, helped preserve the retina's structure and function, and improved vision. The study, titled "Inhibition of ceramide accumulation in AdipoR1 -/- mice increases photoreceptor survival and improves vision," was published this month in the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight . Study findings show that ceramide imbalance damages the neural retina and retinal pigmented epithelium, accompanied by a significant reduction of electroretinogram amplitudes, decreased retinoid content in the retina, re
