- Abstract
Background: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is an influential variant of the sinonasal region due to its possible association with varied sinonasal pathologies, mid-facial (skeletal or occlusal) disharmonies and orofacial pain disorders. The aim of the study is to document the prevalence of DNS and to observe and assess the radiographic attributes of its types in adults.Materials and Methods: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study in which, after getting ethical approval, computed tomography paranasal sinus volumes of 100 adult subjects are collected from the medical college on the basis of convenience sampling. Paediatric subjects and patients with a previous history of mid-facial trauma, malignancy or surgery are excluded from the study. DICOM data thus collected are retrospectively analysed by RadiAnt DICOM viewer to determine the prevalence of DNS to study its association across gender and with increased (>1 mm) mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus. DNS is recorded by Mladina’s classification and by septal deviation angle, and association is studied by the Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U test.Results: The overall prevalence of DNS is 82%. Association of deviated septum with gender and mucosal thickening of the sinus lining is not statistically significant. Overall type V (spur) deviation is most common; however, in subjects with thickened mucosal lining type III (“C” or reverse “C”), deviation is found to be most prevalent. All the cases of type VI deviation have a tilted nasal floor, a finding of dental surgeon’s interest. “Bridging Spur,” an uncommon form of spur deformity, is also recorded in one case.Conclusions: Deviated septum is far more common than straight septum in the adult population. Types III, II and IV are more frequent in subjects with increased mucosal thickening. Association of type VI with tilted floor and rare variants like “Bridging spur” is also reported.

- Abstract
Reactive dyes are widely consumed in the textile industrial sector due to their excellent properties, bright color, excellent color fastness, and ease of application; nevertheless, they are challenging to treat using existing conventional treatment methods due to their refractory and hazardous nature. In the present work, simulated reactive dye wastewater degradation was experimented with using Ozonation, O3/UV, and O3/UV/PS process. The experiments were carried out in a 3 L reactor for two different reactive dyes: reactive red 120 (RR120) and reactive yellow 145 (RY145), with their initial concentration ranges from 500 to 1500 mgL−1. The present study concludes that simple ozonation resulted in only 49% TOC removal, while O3/UV processes removed 57% TOC after 90 min of treatment. The highest efficiency was achieved in a coupled O3/UV/PS process with TOC removal of 88% at 66 W UV intensity, 1:40 TOC:PS ratio, 1.86 gh−1ozone dose, and alkaline pH. It was also observed that the TOC removal was higher in RR120 compared to RY145. Finally, electrical energy per order was evaluated for the various ozone-based AOPs, and O3/UV/PS provided the best results with % TOC removal.

- Abstract
Purpose:To assess sound-level exposure during vitrectomy using 3 of the most common commercially available machines. Methods:This noninterventional cross-sectional study examined sound emission from the Constellation, Stellaris, and EVA vitrector systems. For each machine, a noise dosimeter was used to measure the sound-level exposure of the surgeon during 3 surgical cases in which vitrectomy was performed. Sound levels associated with progressively increasing cut rates and vacuum pressures were also measured. Finally, sound measurements were taken during the use of various additional functions of each machine, including diathermy, laser, and extrusion. Sound levels were compared with occupational health guidelines in Canada and the United States. Results:The maximum sound level recorded during vitrectomy surgery was 88.2 dBA. The mean sound level during vitrectomy surgical cases ranged from 58.5 to 66.8 dBA. A strong positive linear correlation was found between the cut rate and sound level (r= 0.88-0.98) and the vacuum pressure and sound level (r= 0.83-0.97). This relationship was consistent across the 3 vitrector systems (P< .001). Conclusions:Noise exposure during vitrectomy procedures was acceptable but may be sufficient for surgical team activity interference, as described by World Health Organization recommendations. A strong correlation was found between the cut rate and noise exposure. If cut rates continue to increase, attention should be given to ensure that the resulting noise exposure does not threaten the hearing of vitreoretinal surgeons and the operating room staff.

- Abstract
Induced systemic resistance (ISR) is a mechanism by which certain plant beneficial rhizobacteria and fungi produce immunity, which can stimulate crop growth and resilience against various phytopathogens, insects, and parasites. These beneficial rhizobacteria and fungi improve plant performance by regulating hormone signaling, including salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), prosystemin, pathogenesis-related gene 1, and ethylene (ET) pathways, which activate the gene expression of ISR, the synthesis of secondary metabolites, various enzymes, and volatile compounds that ultimately induce defense mechanisms in plant. To protect themselves from disease, plants have various advanced defense mechanisms in which local acquired resistance, systemic gene silencing, systemic wound response, systemic acquired resistance (SAR), and ISR are involved. Several rhizobacteria activate the SA-dependent SAR pathway by producing SA at the root’s surface. In contrast, other rhizobacteria can activate different signaling pathways independent of SA (SA-independent ISR pathways) such as those dependent on JA and ET signaling. The main objective of this review is to provide insight into the types of induced resistance utilized for plant defense. Further to this, the genetic approaches used to suppress disease-causing genes, i.e.,RNA interference and antisense RNA, which are still underutilized in sustainable agriculture, along with the current vision for virus-induced gene silencing are also discussed.

- Abstract
The response of platelets to activating stimuli and pharmaceutical agents varies greatly within the normal population. Current platelet function tests are used to measure end-point levels of platelet activation without taking the speed at which platelets activate into account, potentially missing vital metrics to characterize platelet reactivity.

10. Doctors’ Drugs and the Dangers of Dental Decay
- Author

Kelleher, Martin G., Ruparelia, Roshni, and Blum, Igor R.
- Abstract
Many “anti-something” medications, which are prescribed by medical doctors for older patients, often for dubious reasons, result in a serious reduction in the quantity and quality of saliva. That drug-induced xerostomia can produce dangerous dental decay, particularly in already compromised dentitions.This article suggests that doctors should undertake a personalised “benefits, risks, alternatives, nothing” (BRAN) analysis including an assessment of the possible dental decay risks, especially before prescribing combinations of “anti-” drugs for marginal conditions.Doctors should consider carefully if alternative approaches are feasible which could produce acceptable outcomes without incurring those serious dental decay risks. Alternative approaches may include patients altering their diet and lifestyle to include more physical exercise for controlling conditions such as marginal hypertension, for example, or perhaps prescribing counselling/talking therapies for depression or anxiety.If various “anti-” drugs really do have to be prescribed, this article describes cheap, pragmatic, and effective ways of mitigating the risks of already compromised dentitions developing new decay.

- Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea represents a sizable public health and economic burden. Owing to rising obesity rates, the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea is increasing, and it is a condition that is significantly underdiagnosed. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the backlog of elective surgeries is also sizable and growing. A combination of these factors means that many patients due to have surgery will have obstructive sleep apnoea, either diagnosed or otherwise.Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea have a significantly increased risk of operative complications, but the evidence base for optimum perioperative management of these patients is limited. This article reviews sleep apnoea, its prevalence and its impact on operative management and perioperative outcomes for patients. The evidence base for screening and treating undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea is also comprehensively assessed. Finally, a pathway to manage patients with possible undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea is proposed, and areas for further research identified.

- Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) gain attention for wastewater treatment due to the formation of hydroxyl radicals, which have more oxidation potential. Among all AOPs, few O3, O3/UV, O3/UV/persulfate (PS), and O3/catalyst processes were studied to degrade RB5 dye wastewater. Furthermore, the effect of various experimental parameters like ozone flowrate (30–60 LPH), initial pH (2–12), initial dye concentration (100–1000 mg/L), UV intensity (11–66 W), persulfate dosage, and catalyst dosage (0.5–1.2 g/L) was studied for degradation of RB5. Furthermore, the prepared catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and BET surface area. Based on the results obtained in the study, the maximum TOC removal efficiency was 96% achieved with optimum operating parameters, 60 LPH of ozone flowrate, 7 pH, 100 mg/L RB5 concentration, and 1 g/L catalyst dosage in 80 min of reaction time using O3/catalyst process, while in O3/UV/PS process, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency was 90% with optimum operating parameters, 60 LPH of ozone flowrate, 12 pH, 100 mg/L RB5 concentration, UV intensity 66 W, and TOC/PS ratio 1:40 in 80 min of reaction time. Finally, it can be seen that ozone-based AOPs offered an effective solution for the degradation of recalcitrant pollutants, especially RB5.

- Abstract
Pharmaceutical-grade lactose (PL) manufacturing generates wastewater containing high concentrations of biodegradable organic matter. In the absence of a suitable alternative, industries handle such concentrated streams by completely evaporating the entire stream and disposing of water-soluble solid residue in a landfill. Such a process is energy-intensive, and nothing useful is recovered from the stream. This study demonstrates the efficient and sustainable anaerobic biodegradation of real PL wastewater using a lab-scale internal circulation reactor (ICR) combined with an external recirculation system. The effects of feed Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) concentration, organic loading rate (OLR), and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on COD removal efficiency, methane production, and the volatile fatty acids/alkalinity (VFA/ALK) ratio were evaluated. Under the highest feed COD concentration of 60,000 mg/L, OLR of 4.5 kg/m³∙d, and HRT of 13.33 days, the system achieved an average COD removal efficiency of 93.8 % with methane production of 25.2 L/d (specific methane generation of 0.32 L/g CODremoved). By increasing the up-flow velocity from 0.044 m/h (without external recirculation) to 1.5 m/h (with external recirculation), COD removal improved from 63.6 % to 93.4 %, and methane production increased from 7.5 L/d to 14 L/d. The kinetics of COD removal fitted well in the modified Stover-Kincannon model (R2= 0.99). A unique finding of this study is that the loose anaerobic sludge became granulated after 120 days, with 50 % of the granules having diameters ≥ 2.0 mm. The results of this study establish anaerobic biodegradation as a suitable treatment option for PL wastewater, thereby achieving UNSDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).

15. Darwinian Dentistry? Social Media, Smartphones and Selfie Sticks
- Author
-
Ruparelia, Roshni, Kelleher, Martin G.D., and Dhanda, Lakhandeep S.
- Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic produced numerous challenges for clinical dentistry which necessitated adaptation and innovation. This article will illustrate the use of selfie stick devices and ring lights for dental care practitioners to create customised ‘selfie’ videos of them using very effective cleaning devices on the patient’s own smartphone. Because these short, engaging videos are now readily available to the patient at their home it reminds them which brushes to use, where and how. Patients are empowered by these videos which put them at the centre, reinforcing the key preventive message that they can improve and maintain their oral health by introducing effective oral hygiene behaviours. The many advantages, both for patients and for their practice teams, will be discussed in detail.

- Abstract
ABSTRACTDominant de novomutations in the co-chaperone BAG3 cause a severe form of myofibrillar myopathy, exhibiting progressive muscle weakness, muscle structural failure, and protein aggregation. To elucidate the mechanism of disease in, and identify therapies for, BAG3 myofibrillar myopathy, we generated two zebrafish models, one conditionally expressing BAG3P209Land one with a nonsense mutation in bag3. While transgenic BAG3P209L-expressing fish display protein aggregation, modeling the early phase of the disease, bag3-/-fish exhibit exercise dependent fiber disintegration, and reduced swimming activity, consistent with later stages of the disease. Detailed characterization of the bag3-/-fish, revealed an impairment in macroautophagic/autophagic activity, a defect we confirmed in BAG3patient samples. Taken together, our data highlights that while BAG3P209Lexpression is sufficient to promote protein aggregation, it is the loss of BAG3 due to its sequestration within aggregates, which results in impaired autophagic activity, and subsequent muscle weakness. We therefore screened autophagy-promoting compounds for their effectiveness at removing protein aggregates, identifying nine including metformin. Further evaluation demonstrated metformin is not only able to bring about the removal of protein aggregates in zebrafish and human myoblasts but is also able to rescue the fiber disintegration and swimming deficit observed in the bag3−/-fish. Therefore, repurposing metformin provides a promising therapy for BAG3 myopathy.Abbreviations:ACTN: actinin, alpha; BAG3: BAG cochaperone 3; CRYAB: crystallin alpha B; DES: desmin; DMSO: dimethyl sulfoxide; DNAJB6: DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B6; dpf: days post fertilization; eGFP: enhanced green fluorescent protein; FDA: Food and Drug Administration; FHL1: four and a half LIM domains 1; FLNC: filamin C; hpf: hours post-fertilization; HSPB8: heat shock protein family B [small] member 8; LDB3/ZASP: LIM domain binding 3; MYOT: myotilin; TTN: titin; WT: wild-type.

- Abstract
Tardive Dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary repetitive body movements, like chewing motions, cheek puffing, tongue protrusion and lip pursing. These symptoms appear during sleep and/or wakefulness. Report of involuntary movements of tongue is very rare, with a prevalence of only 15%–20%. Risk factors include old age, female gender, and patients receiving drugs with anti-dopaminergic activity, for long term. We report a case of 62 years old male patient with a long history of antidepressants and mood stabilizers, who presented with involuntary tongue movements. The patient was treated by altering the dose and discontinuation of a few medicines, which resulted in a slight decrease in the frequency of the movement. The case is discussed here to spread awareness and vigilance about this condition, in order to aid in early diagnosis and management, to avoid negative impacts on psychologic health and quality of life of the patient.

- Abstract
Wounds are important health problems that cause significant financial burden and loss of time to work, more so in low and lower middle income countries. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely established in managing acute and chronic extremity wounds. We studied the effects of addition of normal saline instillation to NPWT in terms of changes in granulation tissue, bacterial-burden and overall wound healing using readily available means and materials including wall suction for negative pressure, sponge and adhesive transparent sheet for dressing and normal saline for irrigation.

- Abstract
ABSTRACTIn 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite numerous reviews, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to evaluate autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. Here, we present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a dogmatic set of rules, because the appropriateness of any assay largely depends on the question being asked and the system being used. Moreover, no individual assay is perfect for every situation, calling for the use of multiple techniques to properly monitor autophagy in each experimental setting. Finally, several core components of the autophagy machinery have been implicated in distinct autophagic processes (canonical and noncanonical autophagy), implying that genetic approaches to block autophagy should rely on targeting two or more autophagy-related genes that ideally participate in distinct steps of the pathway. Along similar lines, because multiple proteins involved in autophagy also regulate other cellular pathways including apoptosis, not all of them can be used as a specific marker for bona fideautophagic responses. Here, we critically discuss current methods of assessing autophagy and the information they can, or cannot, provide. Our ultimate goal is to encourage intellectual and technical innovation in the field.

- Abstract
To assess left ventricular (LV) function before and after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using conventional echocardiographic parameters and global longitudinal LV strain (GLS) and compare outcomes between Edwards S3 and Evolut R valves.Data were collected for consecutive patients undergoing TAVI at Hammersmith hospital between 2015 and 2018. Of the 303 patients, those with coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation were excluded leading to a total of 85 patients, which constituted our study group. The mean follow-up was 49 ± 39 days. In total, 60% of patients were treated with Edwards S3 and 40% Evolut R. TAVI resulted in an early improvement of GLS (−13.96 to −15.25%, P= 0.01) but not ejection fraction (EF) (47.6 to 50.1%, P= 0.09). LV mass also improved, especially in patients with marked baseline LV hypertrophy (P< 0.001). There were no appreciable differences of LV function improvement and overall LV remodelling after TAVI between the two types of valves used (P= 0.14).TAVI results in reverse remodelling and improvement of GLS, especially in patients with impaired baseline LV function. There were no differences in the extent of LV function improvement between Edwards S3 and Evolut R valves but there was a greater incidence of aortic regurgitation with Evolut R.

- Abstract
Background During the 2014-2016 Ebola virus epidemic, more than 500 health care workers (HCWs) died in spite of the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The Johns Hopkins University Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID) and Jhpiego, an international nongovernmental organization affiliate of Johns Hopkins, collaborated to create new PPE to improve the ease of the doffing process. Methods HCWs in Liberia and a US biocontainment unit compared standard Médecins Sans Frontière PPE (PPE A) with the new PPE (PPE B). Participants wore each PPE ensemble while performing simulated patient care activities. Range of motion, time to doff, comfort, and perceived risk were measured. Results Overall, 100% of participants preferred PPE B over PPE A (P <.0001); 98.1% of respondents would recommend PPE B for their home clinical unit (P <.0001). There was a trend towards greater comfort in PPE B. HCWs at both sites felt more at risk in PPE A than PPE B (71.9% vs 25% in Liberia, P <.0001; 100% vs 40% in the US biocontainment unit, P <.0001). Conclusions HCWs preferred a new PPE ensemble to Médecins Sans Frontière PPE for high-consequence pathogens. Further studies on the safety of this new PPE need to be conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Tardive Dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary repetitive body movements, like chewing motions, cheek puffing, tongue protrusion and lip pursing. These symptoms appear during sleep and/or wakefulness. Report of involuntary movements of tongue is very rare, with a prevalence of only 15%–20%. Risk factors include old age, female gender, and patients receiving drugs with anti-dopaminergic activity, for long term. We report a case of 62 years old male patient with a long history of antidepressants and mood stabilizers, who presented with involuntary tongue movements. The patient was treated by altering the dose and discontinuation of a few medicines, which resulted in a slight decrease in the frequency of the movement. The case is discussed here to spread awareness and vigilance about this condition, in order to aid in early diagnosis and management, to avoid negative impacts on psychologic health and quality of life of the patient.

Juvenile Dermatomyositis is the most common inflammatory myositis in children, distinguished by proximal muscle weakness, a characteristic rash and Gottron's papules. The oral lesions most commonly manifest as diffuse stomatitis and pharyngitis with halitosis. We report a case of an 8 year old male with proximal muscle weakness of all four limbs, rash, Gottron's papules and oral manifestations. Oral health professionals must be aware of the extraoral and intraoral findings of this rare, but potentially life threatening autoimmune disease of childhood, for early diagnosis, treatment, prevention of long-term complications and to improve the prognosis and hence, the quality of life for the patient.

- Abstract
Abstract Objectives In this study, a systematic analysis was conducted of phasic intracoronary pressure and flow velocity in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease, undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), to determine how AS affects: 1) phasic coronary flow; 2) hyperemic coronary flow; and 3) the most common clinically used indices of coronary stenosis severity, instantaneous wave-free ratio and fractional flow reserve. Background A significant proportion of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have concomitant coronary artery disease. The effect of the valve on coronary pressure, flow, and the established invasive clinical indices of stenosis severity have not been studied. Methods Twenty-eight patients (30 lesions, 50.0% men, mean age 82.1 ± 6.5 years) with severe AS and coronary artery disease were included. Intracoronary pressure and flow assessments were performed at rest and during hyperemia immediately before and after TAVR. Results Flow during the wave-free period of diastole did not change post-TAVR (29.78 ± 14.9 cm/s vs. 30.81 ± 19.6 cm/s; p = 0.64). Whole-cycle hyperemic flow increased significantly post-TAVR (33.44 ± 13.4 cm/s pre-TAVR vs. 40.33 ± 17.4 cm/s post-TAVR; p = 0.006); this was secondary to significant increases in systolic hyperemic flow post-TAVR (27.67 ± 12.1 cm/s pre-TAVR vs. 34.15 ± 17.5 cm/s post-TAVR; p = 0.02). Instantaneous wave-free ratio values did not change post-TAVR (0.88 ± 0.09 pre-TAVR vs. 0.88 ± 0.09 post-TAVR; p = 0.73), whereas fractional flow reserve decreased significantly post-TAVR (0.87 ± 0.08 pre-TAVR vs. 0.85 ± 0.09 post-TAVR; p = 0.001). Conclusions Systolic and hyperemic coronary flow increased significantly post-TAVR; consequently, hyperemic indices that include systole underestimated coronary stenosis severity in patients with severe AS. Flow during the wave-free period of diastole did not change post-TAVR, suggesting that indices calculated during this period are not vulnerable to the confounding effect of the stenotic aortic valve.

- Abstract
Dye wastewaters contain significant amounts of toxic organic species and intense color. Electrochemical oxidation has a proven potential to degrade these bio-resistant pollutants. This paper presents the results of indirect electrochemical oxidation of Reactive Black 5 (RB 5) recalcitrant dye wastewater using NaCl, KBr and Na2SO4as supporting electrolytes. The studies were performed in an undivided batch reactor using indigenously prepared Ti/CoOx–RuO2–SnO2–Sb2O5electrode classified as dimensionally stable anode (DSA). Characterization of the catalytic coating was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis. Similar operating conditions like electrolyte concentration, pH, current density and electrolysis time were used for all studies. The progress of dye degradation was monitored by estimating reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC) and color. Other performance indicators like average current efficiency (ACE) and energy consumption (EC) were also analyzed. The rate of COD removal followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The present investigation exhibited highest treatment effectiveness in the presence of chloride compared to bromide and sulfate as degradation was dependent on the generation of highly electroactive oxidative species.

- Abstract
It is necessary to treat textile effluents before discharging them into natural water bodies as they harm the environment. Compared to conventional treatment methods, catalytic ozonation has gained attention due to its effectiveness in removing refractory organic pollutants. In this study, the coprecipitation method was used to synthesize a composite metal oxide of silver and cerium oxide, and the synthesized catalyst was used to eliminate the Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopic, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analyses were performed to characterize the synthesized catalyst. Afterwards, relevant experimental parameters, such as pH, ozone and catalyst dosages, and initial dye concentration, were investigated. The experiments revealed that the optimal experimental conditions were a pH value of 10, a catalyst dosage of 0.7 g/L, and an ozone dosage of 60 L/h. In these optimized conditions, the RB5 dye was entirely removed, and a chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency of 88% was achieved within a reaction time of 80 min. Furthermore, the recycling potential of the catalyst was tested for three cycles, and no deterioration in its activity was observed. Additionally, studies were conducted using a hydroxyl radical scavenger in order to understand the reaction pathway of the system. As a result, the indirect pathway was more dominant than the direct pathway in the system.

- Abstract
Skeletal muscular diseases predominantly affect skeletal and cardiac muscle, resulting in muscle weakness, impaired respiratory function and decreased lifespan. These harmful outcomes lead to poor health-related quality of life and carry a high healthcare economic burden. The absence of promising treatments and new therapies for muscular disorders requires new methods for candidate drug identification and advancement in animal models. Consequently, the rapid screening of drug compounds in an animal model that mimics features of human muscle disease is warranted. Zebrafish are a versatile model in preclinical studies that support developmental biology and drug discovery programs for novel chemical entities and repurposing of established drugs. Due to several advantages, there is an increasing number of applications of the zebrafish model for high-throughput drug screening for human disorders and developmental studies. Consequently, standardization of key drug screening parameters, such as animal husbandry protocols, drug compound administration and outcome measures, is paramount for the continued advancement of the model and field. Here, we seek to summarize and explore critical drug treatment and drug screening parameters in the zebrafish-based modeling of human muscle diseases. Through improved standardization and harmonization of drug screening parameters and protocols, we aim to promote more effective drug discovery programs.

- Abstract
Objectives The authors sought to investigate 1-year outcomes in patients treated with bioresorbable everolimus-eluting vascular scaffolds (BVS) for “long coronary lesions.” Background The present substudy derived from the GHOST-EU registry included 1,722 lesions in 1,468 consecutive patients, enrolled between November 2011 and September 2014 at 11 European centers. Methods The lesions were divided into 3 groups according to continuous BVS length: 1) shorter than 30 mm; 2) between 30 and 60 mm; and 3) longer than 60 mm. Primary device-oriented endpoint (target lesion failure [TLF]) was defined as a combination of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven target lesion revascularization. Results Patients with lesions ≥60 mm had more comorbidities and more complex lesion characteristics, including chronic total occlusions (37%), bifurcation lesions (40.3%), higher Syntax score (16.4 ± 7.8), and higher number of scaffolds implanted per lesion (3.3 ± 0.9 mm). The main target vessel was the left anterior coronary artery in all groups. Median follow-up was 384 (interquartile range: 359 to 459) days. One-year follow-up was completed in 70.3% of patients. TLF at 1 year was significantly higher in group C (group A 4.8%, group B 4.5%, group C 14.3%; overall p = 0.001), whereas there were no significant differences between groups A and B. Finally, a numerically higher (but not statistically significant) number of scaffold thromboses were observed in group C when compared with shorter lesions (group A 2.1%, group B 1.1%, group C 3.8%; overall p = 0.29). Conclusions In a real-world setting, treatment of long coronary lesions with BVS ≥60 mm was associated with a higher TLF rate, driven by myocardial infarction and clinically driven target lesion revascularization.

Patel, Upendra, Ruparelia, Jayesh, and Patel, Margi
- Abstract
Biodegradation studies on Dye wastewater (DW) are normally conducted on simulated wastewaters or aqueous dyes solutions supported by growth medium, and often, an easy carbon source such as glucose. This rarely resembles actual DW which is characterized by the presence of complex organic compounds, and a high concentration of Total Dissolved Inorganic Salts (TDIS). Biodegradation of real Direct Dyes Wastewater (DDW), and a mixed-waste stream (MWS) consisting of equal volumes of Direct and Acid dyes wastewaters, was carried out using a lab-scale activated sludge unit. The DDW and MWS had TDIS and COD concentrations of 105 and 4.5 g/L, and 54 and 4.1 g/L, respectively. After acclimatization process of 70 days, 67% COD removal was achieved at influent TDIS and COD concentrations of 79.6 g/L and 4320 mg/L, respectively, for the DDW at HRT of 3 days and MLVSS concentration of ~ 2000 mg/L. Although no sludge wastage was done, initially increased concentration of MLVSS (~ 2400 mg/L) decreased to ~ 1700 mg/L with increase in TDIS. Using the biomass acclimatized for DDW for treatment of MWS, consistent COD removal of ~ 70% was achieved at HRT of 4.3 days and an MLVSS concentration of ~ 1600 mg/L. Results suggest that significant COD removal can be achieved in real DW if biomass is gradually acclimatized to increasing TDIS concentrations.

- Abstract
The use of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) may be associated with benefits including restoration of endothelial function, positive vessel remodeling, and reduced risk for very late (stent) thrombosis compared with metallic stents by virtue of their complete absorption within 3 to 4 years of implantation. When treating bifurcation lesions, these advantages may be even more pronounced. The aim of this review is to summarize current experiences and technical considerations of bifurcation treatment with BRS. Because of the physical properties of current-generation BRS, there are concerns with regard to the efficacy and safety of this novel technology for the treatment of bifurcations, with the potential for increased rates of scaffold thrombosis and side-branch occlusions, and as a consequence, bifurcations have been excluded from the major BRS trials. Nevertheless, BRS have been used for this indication in clinical practice, as evidenced by “real-world” registries. Considering the potential limitations, specific technical considerations and modified bifurcation strategies should be used in an attempt to attenuate problems and achieve optimal procedural and clinical outcomes.

- Abstract
Despite the importance of CAD for women, there is persistent perception that CAD is a man’s disease. Contributing to this notion is the observation of differences in incidence rates according to age; the incidence of CAD in women is lower than men, but rises steadily after fifth decade. The distribution of CAD risk factors varies between men and women across age ranges and failure to consider these differences may have contributed to the belief that women are at lower risk of CAD compared with men. In addition, women are more likely to have symptoms considered atypical compared with men. There is an urgent need to better understand the presentation of cardiac symptoms in women, in order to facilitate diagnosis and treatment, to initiate aggressive risk factor intervention and to improve the quality of life.

McCabe, William A., Way, Michael J., Ruparelia, Kush, Knapp, Susanne, Ali, M. Adam, Anstee, Quentin M., Thomas, Howard C., McQuillin, Andrew, and Morgan, Marsha Y.
- Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text.Associations between the γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABAA) and alcohol dependence risk have been reported, although the receptor subunit driving the association is unclear. Recent work in mice has highlighted a possible role for variants in the Gabrβ1 subunit (Gabrβ1) in alcohol dependence risk, although this gene does not contain any common nonsynonymous variants in humans. However, the GABAAreceptor is a heteropentamer so multiple potential variants within the gene complex could generate the alcohol dependence phenotype. The association between GABRβ1variants and alcohol dependence risk was explored in a British and Irish population of alcohol-dependent cases (n=450) and ancestrally-matched controls screened to exclude current or historical alcohol misuse (n=555). Twelve common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a rare nonsynonymous variant, rs41311286, were directly genotyped; imputation was then performed across the whole gene. No allelic association was observed between alcohol dependence risk and any of the directly genotyped or imputed SNPs. However, post-hoc testing for genotypic association identified five common intronic SNPs that showed modest evidence for association after correction for multiple testing; two, rs76112682 and rs141719901, were in complete linkage disequilibrium [Pcorrected=0.02, odds ratio (95% confidence interval)=5.9 (1.7–2.06)]. These findings provide limited support for an association between GABRβ1and the risk for developing alcohol dependence; further testing in expanded cohorts may be warranted.

- Abstract
Inflammation and its failure to resolve are firmly established as central to the development and complications of several cardiovascular diseasesTargeting of inflammatory processes in experimental models has been demonstrated to be beneficial in attenuating myocardial and arterial injury, reducing disease progression, and promoting healing, but clinical translation has been disappointingCurrent tools to measure 'inflammation' are nonspecific and represent downstream sequelae of biological processes, but provide little insight into disease state, site, or activation pathwaysContemporary molecular techniques (such as proteomics and gene-expression analysis) improve our ability to characterize underlying biological processes, and identify activation pathways as biomarkers and as a basis to develop new therapeuticsNoninvasive imaging tools enable the identification of activation of specific pathways and their sites, and can be used to monitor response to therapy

- Abstract
Objectives This study sought to evaluate the use of the Direct Flow Medical (DFM) transcatheter heart valve (Direct Flow Medical, Santa Rosa, California) for the treatment of noncalcific pure aortic regurgitation (AR). Background The treatment of noncalcific AR has remained a relative contraindication with transcatheter heart valves due to challenges in anchoring devices in the absence of calcium, concerns of valve embolization, and the high risk of significant residual paravalvular leak. Methods The study population consisted of patients treated for severe noncalcific pure AR with transfemoral implantation of a DFM transcatheter heart valve at 6 European centers. The primary endpoint was the composite endpoint of device success and the secondary endpoint was the composite early safety endpoint (according to the VARC-2 criteria). Results Eleven high-risk (STS score 8.84 ± 8.9, Logistic EuroSCORE 19.9 ± 7.1) patients (mean age 74.7 ± 12.9 years) were included. Device success was achieved in all patients. In 1 patient, the initial valve prosthesis was retrieved after pull-through, and a second valve was successfully deployed. The early safety endpoint was reached in 91% of the patients, with 1 patient requiring surgical aortic valve replacement secondary to downward dislocation of the prosthesis that was successfully managed with surgical aortic valve replacement. DFM implantation resulted in excellent hemodynamics with none or trivial paravalvular regurgitation in 9 patients and a transprosthetic gradient of 7.7 ± 5.1 mm Hg at 30-day follow up. All patients derived symptomatic benefit following the procedure, with 72% in New York Heart Association functional class I or II. Conclusions This study reports the feasibility of treating severe noncalcific AR with the Direct Flow prosthesis via the transfemoral route. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients presenting with recurrent drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) treated with a second-generation DES or with a drug-coated balloon (DCB). Background To date, there are no reports of DCB treatment and limited data with regard to the efficacy of further DES implantation for recurrent ISR. Methods Between January 2008 and December 2013, 171 lesions were assessed for eligibility (82 lesions in the second-generation DES group and 89 lesions in the DCB group). Results Acute gain was greater in the second-generation DES group (second-generation DES, 2.09 ± 0.53 mm vs. DCBs, 1.60 ± 0.62 mm, p < 0.001). The rates of major adverse cardiac events were comparable (at 1 year, DES 14.0% vs. DCBs 12.3%; at 2 years, DES 28.8% vs. DCBs 43.5%, p = 0.21). Major adverse cardiac event rates were mainly driven by target lesion revascularization (at 1 year, DES 12.5% vs. DCBs 10.9%; at 2 years, DES 27.7% vs. DCBs 38.3%; p = 0.40). Definite scaffold thrombosis occurred in 2 patients (1 patient in each group). Multivariable analysis revealed ISR recurrence within 1 year (hazard ratio: 2.43, 95% confidence interval: 1.14 to 5.18, p = 0.02) and lesion length (per 10-mm increase) (hazard ratio: 1.15, 95% confidence interval: 1.00 to 1.32, p = 0.049) to be independent predictors of TLR. Conclusions The results after both treatments were equivalent. ISR recurrence within 1 year of the first reintervention and lesion length were independent predictors of future target lesion revascularization. Larger studies are required to confirm the late (>1 year) differences with regard to clinical outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
