Background: Acid-suppressing drugs affect intestinal microbes by inhibiting the secretion of stomach acid. However, it is not clear whether acid suppressive drugs affect the microorganisms in the peripancreatic effusion and affect the postoperative complications.
Methods: This study was a prospective randomized controlled trial. A total of 45 patients were enrolled in the trial, and all patients were divided into acid-inhibited and non-inhibited groups. The primary endpoint of our study was to observe the difference in microbiota between the two groups of cyst fluid.
Results: A total of 25 patients were included in the acid-inhibited group, and 20 patients were included in the non-acid-inhibited group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative infection, bleeding, and recurrence rates ( > 0.05). In terms of postoperative C-reactive protein levels, the acid-suppressing group was significantly higher than the non-acid-suppressing group ( < 0.05). In the 16S microbial sequencing analysis, we found no significant difference in α diversity between the acid-suppressing group and the non-acid-suppressing group, but there was a statistically significant difference in β diversity between the two groups.
Conclusion: Acid-suppressing drugs can change the microbial composition of pancreatic effusions and increase markers of postoperative inflammation. Acid-suppressive drugs may increase the risk of infection after endoscopic drainage.

Introduction: Risperidone is approved for behaviors and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), despite modest efficacy and known risks. Identifying responsive symptoms, treatment modifiers, and predictors is crucial for personalized treatment.
Method: A one-stage individual participant data meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials (risperidone: n = 1009; placebo: N = 712) was conducted.

Background: In hyponatremic patients, concurrent dialysate flow during hemodialysis may be an ideal option to mitigate complications such as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).
Methods: Present randomized controlled trial enrolled dialysis-requiring chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with serum sodium levels < 125 mEq/L during January 2020 over 16 months. Hemodynamically unstable patients, as well as those with a history of seizures and neurological conditions, were excluded.

Objective: SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reducing the tirzepatide dose and/or continuing the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) versus placebo in maintaining body weight (BW) reduction achieved with tirzepatide MTD.
Methods: This Phase 3b, multicenter, randomized, parallel-arm, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 52-week clinical trial is in progress comparing treatment with once weekly tirzepatide (5 mg and/or MTD of 15 mg or 10 mg) versus placebo in achieving BW reduction maintenance from the initial 60-week open-label weight-loss period on tirzepatide MTD, in adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m or ≥ 27 kg/m with ≥ 1 obesity-related comorbidity, excluding type 2 diabetes). The primary endpoint is percent maintenance of BW reduction achieved during the weight-loss period at Week 112 among those who reached a BW plateau (i.

The increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity among the elderly has significant implications for oral health due to shared pathophysiological mechanisms. Despite its importance, comprehensive reviews on this topic remain limited. This study investigates the association between overweight/obesity and oral health outcomes in adults aged 55 and older.
