The silent treatment? For Bryce Harper? Maybe there was a time when a dugout would have reconsidered it. Now? It’s perfect. MattGelb on what a home run celebration signified for Harper and the Phillies during a doubleheader sweep:
It’s bunt hits by Stubbs and Rojas, an unlikely tandem to generate chaos at the bottom of the lineup in Game 2.The Phillies are better when Harper is producing. He doubled and walked twice in Game 2. But the home run, which ended a career-long 38-game drought, is what excited everyone. “Everybody was rooting for him because they knew he wanted to hit one,” Thomson said. “It’s been a while. And that’s what he does.” Even without the homers, Harper has remained important. He has gotten on base.
They were having fun. Whenever a Phillies player hits a home run, they are supposed to acknowledge the bullpen sometime during the trot. Harper forgot this time. He returned to the dugout and a few coaches greeted him. His teammates had disappeared down the tunnel. Then, after enough awkward time had passed, they embraced Harper. Everyone laughed.

The effectiveness of sertraline in alleviating uremic pruritus in hemodialysis patients: a randomized clinical trial - BMC NephrologyIntroduction Uremic pruritus (UP) is a common and distressing symptom in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Many approaches have been tested to improve UP without a clear success. We aimed to assess the effect of sertraline on UP in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods This research is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicentric randomized clinical trial which included sixty patients maintained on regular HD. Patients were allocated to receive sertraline 50 mg twice daily or placebo for 8 weeks. The Visual analogue scale (VAS) and the 5-D itch scale were used to assess pruritus before and after the course of treatment. Results At study end in sertraline group, there was a significant decrease from baseline findings in the VAS score (p | 0.001), and the 5-D itch scale (p | 0.001). On the other hand, in placebo group the VAS score showed a slight non-significant decrease (p = 0.469), and the 5-D scale (p = 0.584) increased from baseline measurements. The percentage of patients with severe and very severe pruritus decreased significantly in the sertraline group in both scores [(VAS score: p = 0.004), (5-D itch score: p = 0.002)] with no significant change in the placebo group [(VAS score: p = 0.739), (5-D itch scale: p = 0.763)]. There was a significant positive relation between the VAS and 5-D itch scores and serum urea with p value of 0.002 and 0.001 respectively, and serum ferritin with p value of | 0.001 with both. Conclusions Patients treated with sertraline had a significant improvement in pruritus as compared with those who received placebo suggesting a potential role for sertraline to treat uremic pruritus in HD patients. Larger randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05341843. First registration date: 22/04/2022.
