Abstract

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sterility of citrate phosphate dextrose adenine (CPDA-1) anticoagulant when sampled from blood collection bags in a multi-dose manner. SAMPLE 10 pre-filled CPDA-1 blood collection bags; 46 bacterial and 28 fungal culture result reports. PROCEDURES 10 CPDA-1 blood collection bags were split into 2 equal groups and stored at either room temperature (24 °C) or refrigerator temperature (5 °C) for 30 days. Two bags in each group were designated as controls. Beginning on day 0 a 1.0 mL aliquot was withdrawn from each experimental bag and submitted for bacterial culture (aerobic and anaerobic) every 5 days, and fungal culture every 10 days. All 10 bags were sampled on day 30. Bacterial and fungal culture results were compiled and interpreted. RESULTS 46 CPDA-1 aliquots were cultured, resulting in 2 positive microbial isolates: Bacillus was cultured from a previously unopened experimental bag on day 0, and Candida was cultured from a refrigerated experimental bag on day 30. Both positives are thought to represent post-sampling contamination, though these suspicions cannot be confirmed in the bag yielding Candida due to a lack of subsequent data. All other samples were negative for microbial growth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE CPDA-1 blood collection bags stored at either 24 °C or 5 °C can be used in a multi-dose manner for up to 20 days when each sample is obtained aseptically. These results support the clinician’s ability to utilize the contents of 1 bag multiple times rather than discarding the bag after a single use.

Abstract

How do genetic and environmental processes affect empathy during early adolescence? This study illuminated this question by examining the aetiology of empathy with the aetiology of other personality characteristics.Israeli twin adolescents rated their empathy and personality at ages 11 (N = 1176) and 13 (N = 821) (733 families, 51.4% females). Parents rated adolescents' emotional empathy. Adolescents performed an emotion recognition task, indicating cognitive empathy.Using a cross-validated statistical learning algorithm, this study found emotional and cognitive "empathic personality profiles," which describe and predict self-reported empathy from nuanced Big-Five personality characteristics, or "nuances" (i.e., individual items). These profiles predicted empathy moderately (RThis study demonstrates how addressing the complexity of individuals' personalities can inform adolescents' empathy development.

Abstract

Our aim was to adapt and validate a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Twin Relationship Questionnaire developed by Fortuna et al. (2010) and validated by H. Segal and Knafo-Noam (2019) in Israel. The respondents were 862 Brazilian mothers of twins ( N = 1724 twins) with mean age of 35 years (SD = 6.1). The majority of the sample lived in the Southeast (61.8%) or in the South (24.5%) of Brazil. We conducted a Multilevel Confirmatory Factor Analysis with the pair of twins as second level variable, and the five-factor structure (closeness, dependence, conflict, dominance, and rivalry) proposed by the original validation study of H. Segal and Knafo-Noam (2019) was confirmed. The final model retained 15 items out of 22 proposed in the original version of the questionnaire. Although the TRQ-BR has fewer items, the accuracy compared to the original questionnaire was maintained. Mixed Model Analysis (LMM) of TRQ scores were used to investigate twins’ relationships as a function of zygosity, age groups, and sex in order to provide evidence of convergent validity of the instrument. As expected, mothers perceived monozygotic twins (MZ) as more depedent than dizygotic twins (DZ). Furthermore, male twin pairs were considered more conflictive when compared to female twins. The present study showed that TRQ-BR is an adequate instrument for research purposes in the Brazilian population. It can also be useful for applied areas such as clinical and educational fields.

General Medicine
Abstract

With growing attention being paid to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) in both medical and mental health settings, there is a need for further elaboration on meaningful and impactful treatments with this population. This article outlines some of the unique stressors and psychological states that come with pregnancy and parenting a newborn and infant. The concepts and experiences discussed include: primary maternal preoccupation (Winnicott, 1956), parental ambivalence, major changes to the physical body, and reorganisation of attachment representations and current family dynamics. Clinical material from therapy sessions with patients at a specialised perinatal centre is included in the discussion of using an approach informed by attachment theory (Bowlby, 1988).

Abstract

The electrical resistivity of the unconventional superconductor UTe$_2$ shows very anisotropic behavior in the normal state depending on the current direction. In the present paper we show that the maximum in the resistivity $\rho_c$ for current applied along the $c$ axis at $T^{\rm max}_{\rho_c} \approx 14.75$~K follows the minimum in the thermal expansion $T_\alpha^\star$ along $b$ axis. Under a magnetic field applied along the $b$ axis, $T^{\rm max}_{\rho_c}$ can be tracked up to the critical point of the first order metamagnetic transition, which is located near 6~K and 34.5~T. Surprisingly, at the metamagnetic field $H_m$ the resistivity $\rho_c$ shows a steplike decrease while the resistivities $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$, for current along the $a$ and $b$ axis, respectively, show a steplike increase. Under hydrostatic pressure $T^{\rm max}_{\rho_c}$ and $H_m$ decrease significantly up to the critical pressure $p_c$ at which superconductivity is suppressed and a long range antiferromagnetic order appears. We show that the phase diagram at different pressures can be scaled by $T^{\rm max}_{\rho_c}$ in field and temperature suggesting that this temperature scale is governing the main interactions in the normal state., Comment: 15 pages, 17 figures

Abstract

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibits mitochondrial dysfunctions associated with dysregulated metabolism, brain inflammation, synaptic loss, and neuronal cell death. As a key protein serving as the mitochondrial gatekeeper, the voltage-dependent anion channel-1 (VDAC1) that controls metabolism and Ca2+ homeostasis is positioned at a convergence point for various cell survival and death signals. Here, we targeted VDAC1 with VBIT-4, a newly developed inhibitor of VDAC1 that prevents its pro-apoptotic activity, and mitochondria dysfunction. Methods To address the multiple pathways involved in AD, neuronal cultures and a 5 × FAD mouse model of AD were treated with VBIT-4. We addressed multiple topics related to the disease and its molecular mechanisms using immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, q-RT-PCR, 3-D structural analysis and several behavioral tests. Results In neuronal cultures, amyloid-beta (Aβ)-induced VDAC1 and p53 overexpression and apoptotic cell death were prevented by VBIT-4. Using an AD-like 5 × FAD mouse model, we showed that VDAC1 was overexpressed in neurons surrounding Aβ plaques, but not in astrocytes and microglia, and this was associated with neuronal cell death. VBIT-4 prevented the associated pathophysiological changes including neuronal cell death, neuroinflammation, and neuro-metabolic dysfunctions. VBIT-4 also switched astrocytes and microglia from being pro-inflammatory/neurotoxic to neuroprotective phenotype. Moreover, VBIT-4 prevented cognitive decline in the 5 × FAD mice as evaluated using several behavioral assessments of cognitive function. Interestingly, VBIT-4 protected against AD pathology, with no significant change in phosphorylated Tau and only a slight decrease in Aβ-plaque load. Conclusions The study suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction with its gatekeeper VDAC1 is a promising target for AD therapeutic intervention, and VBIT-4 is a promising drug candidate for AD treatment.

Abstract

Inspired by the work of Fonagy (2008) and Dent and Christian (2019), this study applies a form of quantitative textual analysis to 300 terms of psychoanalytic interest in the PEP archives by tracking their historical prevalence in five-year increments using the aggregate number of articles featuring each term in the field's journals. Our results confirm some of the more well-known inflection points in the history and application of psychoanalytic theory, while also revealing some intriguing surprises. Psychoanalysis remains fundamentally a depth psychology, yet it has increasingly acknowledged the external causes of distress and trauma. Changes in the prevalence of terminology around psychopathology, defense mechanisms, development, gender and sexuality, and psychoanalytic technique are discussed.

Abstract

Accumulating research suggests the structure of psychopathology is best represented by continuous higher-order dimensions, including a general dimension, p-factor, and more specific dimensions, e.g., residualized externalizing and internalizing factors. Here, we aimed to 1) replicate p in early childhood; 2) externally validate the factors with key constructs of psychological functioning; 3) examine stability and change of genetic and environmental influences on the psychopathology factors from early-to mid-childhood; 4) examine the factors’ predictive utility; and 5) test whether the factors can be predicted by early life measures (e.g., neonatal complications). The Longitudinal Israeli Study of Twins from age 3 to 9 was used for the analyses. Mothers reported on developmental problems, pregnancy and neonatal conditions, and filled in questionnaires on each twin’s externalizing and internalizing symptoms. Cognitive ability was assessed in the lab at age 6.5 and personality traits, self-esteem, and life satisfaction were self-reported by the twins at ages 11-13. A bifactor model that included p and externalizing and internalizing factors fit the data best and associations between p, cognitive ability, and personality were replicated. Longitudinal twin analyses indicated that p is highly heritable (64-73%) with a substantial proportion of the genetic influences stable from age 3. The residualized internalizing and externalizing factors were also highly heritable. Higher p predicted developmental problems at age 8-9 and lower self-esteem at age 11. Early life measures were not strongly associated with psychopathology. Our results show that p is discernible in early childhood, highly heritable, and prospectively associated with negative outcomes.General Scientific SummaryThe general psychopathology factor is discernible in early childhood, highly heritable, with genetic influences contributing to both stability and change, and prospectively associated with developmental problems and lower self-esteem. Early life measures, such as birth complications or hospitalizations during the first year of life, were not strong predictors of the general psychopathology factor or the residualized externalizing and internalizing factors.

23. gUMI-BEAR, a modular, unsupervised population barcoding method to track variants and evolution at high resolution

Author

Abstract

Cellular lineage tracking provides a means to observe population makeup at the clonal level, allowing exploration of heterogeneity, evolutionary and developmental processes and individual clones’ relative fitness. It has thus contributed significantly to understanding microbial evolution, organ differentiation and cancer heterogeneity, among others. Its use, however, is limited because existing methods are highly specific, expensive, labour-intensive, and, critically, do not allow the repetition of experiments. To address these issues, we developed gUMI-BEAR (genomic Unique Molecular Identifier Barcoded Enriched Associated Regions), a modular, cost-effective method for tracking populations at high resolution. We first demonstrate the system’s application and resolution by applying it to track tens of thousands ofSaccharomyces cerevisiaelineages growing together under varying environmental conditions applied across multiple generations, revealing fitness differences and lineage-specific adaptations. Then, we demonstrate how gUMI-BEAR can be used to perform parallel screening of a huge number of randomly generated variants of theHsp82gene. We further show how our method allows isolation of variants, even if their frequency in the population is low, thus enabling unsupervised identification of modifications that lead to a behaviour of interest.

Abstract

Self-direction values (e.g., independence, curiosity) are among the most important values to people worldwide. However, it is not clear what encourages their development. We propose that self-esteem may be associated with the development of self-direction values because feelings of self-worth provide the confidence needed for independent pursuit. As both independence and self-esteem develop during adolescence, we examined longitudinal associations between self-direction values and self-esteem in adolescents. Study 1 ( NT1 = 527, 55.6% girls, Mage = 16.24, SD = .71, NT2 = 198) included two annual waves of data collection. Study 2 ( Noverall = 486, 55.6% girls, initial Mage = 13.76, SD = .51, NT1 = 418, NT2 = 420, NT3 = 426, NT4 = 387) included four annual waves. In the studies, a cross-lagged panel model and a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model showed that adolescents who feel worthy are more likely to experience an increase in the importance of values of independent thoughts and actions relative to other values. Partial support was found for the opposite direction of association. The results were replicated across longitudinal studies of varying duration and across measures. We discuss the results in light of theories of self-esteem, values, and specifically the development of self-direction values.

Abstract

Riassunto Le malformazioni della giunzione craniovertebrale (GCV) pongono sia problemi diagnostici, a causa delle loro frequenti associazioni, sia difficolta terapeutiche legate alla compressione delle strutture neurologiche e alla potenziale instabilita vertebrale. La distinzione tra malformazioni ossee congenite (platibasia, assimilazione di C1, os odontoideum) e deformita secondarie (malformazione di Chiari, invaginazione basilare) e fondamentale per guidare la gestione. Quest’ultima deve, innanzitutto, comportare un’analisi precisa della malformazione, spesso chiarita dalla conoscenza dell’anomalia di sviluppo sottostante, e una valutazione della stabilita vertebrale, con l’aiuto di indici radiografici e di esami dinamici. In caso di compressione neurologica sintomatica e/o di instabilita vertebrale evolutiva, puo essere proposta una gestione chirurgica. Questa mirera sia a decomprimere le strutture neurologiche interessate sia a stabilizzare selettivamente i segmenti vertebrali coinvolti.

Abstract

Externalizing behavior is substantially affected by genetic effects, which are moderated by environmental exposures. However, little is known about whether these moderation effects differ depending on individual characteristics, and whether moderation of environmental effects generalizes across different environmental domains. With a large sample (N = 1,441 individuals) of early adolescent twins (ages 11 and 13), using a longitudinal multi-informant design, we tested interaction effects between negative emotionality and both positive and negative aspects of three key social domains: parents, peers, and schools, on the phenotypic variance as well as the etiology of externalizing. Negative emotionality moderated some of the environmental effects on the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental variance in externalizing, with adolescents at both ends of the negative emotionality distribution showing different patterns of sensitivity to the tested environmental influences. This is the first use of gene-environment interaction twin models to test individual differences in environmental sensitivity, offering a new approach to study such effects.

Abstract

Twin relationships have a significant effect on the twins’ life and their families. In the first comprehensive study of this topic, our purpose was to examine the developmental courses of four dyadic dimensions of twins’ relationships: closeness, dependence, conflict and rivalry, and the impact of zygosity and parenting on their relationships. Parents reported on their twins’ relationships ( N = 1547 mothers and 536 fathers with data from at least one of four measurement points from 3 to 8–9 years of age). The sample included 322 monozygotic twin dyads (sharing virtually 100% of their genes), and 1194 dizygotic twin dyads (sharing 50% of their genetic variance, on average). Our findings indicated that closeness and dependence decreased while rivalry increased through childhood. Dependence and rivalry also presented quadratic change. The twins’ conflict increased only for dizygotic twins. As expected, we found that the twins’ closeness and dependence were highly associated, as did the associations between conflict and rivalry. The mostly nonsignificant associations of closeness with conflict and rivalry reinforced the notion that they are not bi-polar opposites. However, dependence was positively related to the twins’ conflict and rivalry. A zygosity effect was also evident as monozygotic twins had higher levels of closeness and dependence than dizygotic twins through childhood, but there was no significant difference in the levels of their conflict and rivalry. In congruence with family system theories, parental positivity predicted the twins’ closeness and dependence, and parental negativity predicted the twins’ dependence, conflict and rivalry. The results were discussed in light of an evolutionary perspective and the twins’ developmental challenges through childhood.

Abstract

Study design This was a prospective cohort study. Objective The aim of this study is to question the influence of fear avoidance beliefs on functional outcome following surgery for degenerative lumbar spine. Background Fear avoidance beliefs are well-studied modifiers of low back pain. Nonetheless, the influence of fear avoidance beliefs on the outcome of spinal surgery remains controversial. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study including patients undergoing surgery for degenerative lumbar discopathy, spondylolisthesis, and stenosis. Patients completed a preoperative questionnaire including the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) as well as Visual Analog Scales for radicular and lumbar pain (VAS-R/L), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Short-Form 36 health survey (SF36). Functional outcome was measured at least 6 months after surgery using ODI. Results Sixty-three patients with a mean follow-up of 254 days (8.5 mo, minimum=179 d, maximum=534 d) were included in the study. Women showed stronger work-related fear avoidance beliefs but there was no other difference in baseline characteristics and functional outcome between patients with low or high (>75th percentile) baseline FABQ-P or FABQ-W scores. Individual variables associated with whether patients reached minimal clinically important difference for ODI were: working status [odds ratio (OR)=0.13; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.03-0.62; P=0.01], American Society of Anesthesiologists classification score (OR=0.32; 95% CI, 0.11-0.92; P=0.03), preoperative duration of symptoms (OR=0.94; 95% CI, 0.89-0.99; P=0.03), and preoperative ODI (OR=1.03; 95% CI, 1.00-1.07; P=0.05). Neither physical nor work-related preoperative FABQ scores were predictors of functional results. Conclusions In our study, the FABQ was not associated with functional outcome following surgery for degenerative lumbar spine. Other psychological patient-reported measures are needed to refine selection of patients undergoing spine surgery in order to ensure better outcomes.

Abstract

It has long been assumed that marketisation would undermine banks, a claim reflected in the common opposition of market and bank-based finance. But as recent research shows, some banks have flourished in the marketized environment of financialisation. I argue the reason they have come to dominate financialisation stems from a revolution in funding that began in the 1960s with the rise of liability management. This practice enabled some banks to dramatically leverage their operations and expand their balance sheet. The new funding practice also impacted the business model of US banks fuelling a move from lending to trading. As I show, this revolution in finance shifted the power away from lenders and towards leveraging financial agents that focused on capturing assets through predatorial strategies.

Abstract

Immediate implant placement in molar sites has the potential to improve the patient experience by reducing the number of appointments and the overall treatment time. However, primary closure remains a technical challenge. The present prospective case series evaluated the soft tissue contours and the radiographic bone levels of 17 patients who received immediate implants in molar sites and a digitally customized CAD/CAM sealing socket abutment. At the 2-year follow-up, the mean buccal tissue contours at the most coronal portion were reduced horizontally by an average of 1 mm at 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm below the gingival margin. A mean 0.53-mm apical migration of the gingival margin was seen, and the mean interproximal bone level at the 2-year follow-up was 0.89 mm. The use of CAD/CAM-generated customized healing abutments in immediate molar sites yielded minimal hard and soft tissue changes at the 2-year follow-up.

Abstract

Headaches have been studied and treated since nearly 7,000 BC because of their significant global impact. Current headache treatment modalities are various and have a wide variety of targets, but medications are the most common. Since conventional medical treatments have several side effects, alternative remedies such as osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) should be considered. OMT can assist in the management of various health conditions, such as low back pain, neck pain, and headaches. The purpose of this scoping review is to evaluate recent findings regarding the efficacy of OMT modalities in the management of headaches such as tension-type headaches (TTH) and migraines. This study was designed as a scoping review to gather evidence on the efficacy of OMT modalities in the management of headaches. Following PRISMA guidelines, four databases were used to search for articles published between 2010 and 2022 that reported the use of OMT and manual therapy for TTH and migraines. Databases used include Embase, PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science. The following keywords were used: treatment, therapy, Headache, migraine, craniosacral, muscle energy, myofascial release, trigger point, osteopathic, and manipulation. The initial search yielded 473 unique articles after removing duplicates. After screening based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and after further analysis, 15 articles were selected. Data reports of OMT and manual therapy efficacy and/or effectiveness in treating TTH and migraine were analyzed. Articles included were randomized control studies (13 of 15, 86.6%), one pilot study (one of 15, 6.7%), and one case series (one of 15, 6.7%), which were divided into TTH (nine of 15, 60%) and Migraine Headaches (six of 15, 40%). All articles reported significant headache improvement in at least one measurement. Of all treatments analyzed, single technique interventions (seven of 15, 47%) and multiple technique interventions (eight of 15, 53%) were identified. Among the techniques used, Myofascial Release was the most common (nine of 15, 60%). The articles presented provide evidence of the significant benefits of manual therapy. Because of the limitations of traditional medicine, OMT can be used either as an alternative or adjuvant therapy for headaches. Evidence suggests the positive impact it can provide on headache management, but the number of randomized control trials and population samples should be increased to support its recommendation. This demonstrates how different osteopathic techniques can provide therapeutic effects on TTH, MH, and potentially other types of headaches. A preference for myofascial release was observed, which can be due to the fast relief from the physiologic effect on tissue movement. This review study demonstrates the benefits OMT has on decreasing headache frequency, intensity, and duration in TTH and migraines. OMT has shown to be beneficial, especially for patients seeking alternative non-pharmaceutical and non-invasive treatments. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of different OMT techniques, and different combinations of treatments, on other types of headaches.

Abstract

This study tested the effect of personal values (motivation) and sustained attention (cognitive ability) on children's helping behavior.Children (N = 162, age range 8-9 years, mean = 8.81, SD = 0.43) completed value ranking and go/no-go tasks, and their helping behavior was examined.Children who valued self-transcendence over self-enhancement helped more than others. Surprisingly, children's lack of sustained attention was associated with more helping among those who valued self-transcendence over self-enhancement or openness-to-change over conservation values. Valuing both self-transcendence and openness-to-change was also associated with more helping.Children are more likely to help others if they value self-transcendence and openness to change. Notably, children's tendency to act upon these values may be facilitated (rather than obstructed by) low attention skills.

Abstract

Objectives: This study sought to quantify and compare the decline in volumes of cardiovascular procedures between the United States and non-U.S. institutions during the early phase of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the care of many non-COVID-19 illnesses. Reductions in diagnostic cardiovascular testing around the world have led to concerns over the implications of reduced testing for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Methods: Data were submitted to the INCAPS-COVID (International Atomic Energy Agency Non-Invasive Cardiology Protocols Study of COVID-19), a multinational registry comprising 909 institutions in 108 countries (including 155 facilities in 40 U.S. states), assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of diagnostic cardiovascular procedures. Data were obtained for April 2020 and compared with volumes of baseline procedures from March 2019. We compared laboratory characteristics, practices, and procedure volumes between U.S. and non-U.S. facilities and between U.S. geographic regions and identified factors associated with volume reduction in the United States. Results: Reductions in the volumes of procedures in the United States were similar to those in non-U.S. facilities (68% vs. 63%, respectively; p = 0.237), although U.S. facilities reported greater reductions in invasive coronary angiography (69% vs. 53%, respectively; p < 0.001). Significantly more U.S. facilities reported increased use of telehealth and patient screening measures than non-U.S. facilities, such as temperature checks, symptom screenings, and COVID-19 testing. Reductions in volumes of procedures differed between U.S. regions, with larger declines observed in the Northeast (76%) and Midwest (74%) than in the South (62%) and West (44%). Prevalence of COVID-19, staff redeployments, outpatient centers, and urban centers were associated with greater reductions in volume in U.S. facilities in a multivariable analysis. Conclusions: We observed marked reductions in U.S. cardiovascular testing in the early phase of the pandemic and significant variability between U.S. regions. The association between reductions of volumes and COVID-19 prevalence in the United States highlighted the need for proactive efforts to maintain access to cardiovascular testing in areas most affected by outbreaks of COVID-19 infection.

Abstract

Background Customized sealing socket abutment (SSA) has been claimed to optimize the peri-implant hard and soft tissues in type 1 implant placement. However, the evidence to claim the benefits of this technique over the use a conventional healing abutment remains weak. Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to provide a 3D-radiographic evaluation of hard tissues changes following immediate implant placement in molar sites combined to ARP technique and installation of SSA. Materials and methods Baseline and follow-up (FU) CBCTs (from 1 to 5 years) of 26 patients were collected and included in the study. Baseline and FU CBCTs were superimposed and horizontal and vertical bone changes were assessed. Results A total of 26 patients and 27 implants were included. Horizontal bone remodeling was not significant in any of the measured areas except in the most cervical level, where a mean bone remodeling of 0.73 mm was found. Proximal and buccal vertical bone changes were not significant. Conclusions Within the limits of a retrospective study, dimensional alveolar ridge changes 1 to 5 years after immediate implant placement in molar sites with simultaneous ARP technique and installation of SSA seem to be very limited.

Abstract

BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected diagnosis and treatment of noncommunicable diseases. Its effects on delivery of diagnostic care for cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death worldwide, have not been quantified. OBJECTIVES The study sought to assess COVID-19`s impact on global cardiovascular diagnostic procedural volumes and safety practices. METHODS The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations in cardiovascular procedure volumes and safety practices resulting from COVID-19. Noninvasive and invasive cardiac testing volumes were obtained from participating sites for March and April 2020 and compared with those from March 2019. Availability of personal protective equipment and pandemic-related testing practice changes were ascertained. RESULTS Surveys were submitted from 909 inpatient and outpatient centers performing cardiac diagnostic procedures, in 108 countries. Procedure volumes decreased 42% from March 2019 to March 2020, and 64% from March 2019 to April 2020. Transthoradc echocardiography decreased by 59%, transesophageat echocardiography 76%, and stress tests 78%, which varied between stress modalities. Coronary angiography (invasive or computed tomography) decreased 55% (p < 0.001 for each procedure). hi multivariable regression, significantly greater reduction in procedures occurred for centers in countries with lower gross domestic product. Location in a low-income and lower-middle-income country was associated with an additional 22% reduction in cardiac procedures and less availability of personal protective equipment and teteheatth. CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 was associated with a significant and abrupt reduction in cardiovascular diagnostic testing across the globe, especially affecting the world's economically challenged. Further study of cardiovascular outcomes and COVID-19-related changes in care delivery is warranted. (C) 2021 The Authors.

Abstract

In this essay, I show how difficult emotions, like aggression and murderous rage, are grappled with in horror movies. Patients' reactions to viewing these films can take place in a safe, creative, therapeutic space that allows for even the darkest themes. I discuss three patients who related to intense rage at the mother when viewing the films Joker and Jurassic Park. One patient watched Jurassic Park 50 times and shared his thoughts about the significance this film, and films in general, held for him throughout his life. It is theorized that when patients bring films into the clinical arena, they create a third space that exists between therapist and patient, a safe transitional space within which to explore difficult and otherwise unacceptable feelings.

Abstract

The last two decades have seen an explosion of writings about neoliberalism insisting on the role of the state as a key architect of market dynamics. Drawing substantially from the work of Karl Polanyi, this literature has emphasised in various ways the socially constructed nature of neoliberalism. But as I argue, conceptual flaws in Polanyi’s conception of 19th liberal governance have helped perpetuate an ongoing reliance on the notion of the Market despite the recognition that there is no such thing as a self-regulated Market. Criticising the turn to Polanyi, I show how this has directed our gaze towards the rhetorical claims of neoliberal governance, at the expense of a reflection on its institutional features. The article then suggests avenues for reconfiguring the study of neoliberalism without recourse to the problematic notion of the Market.

Abstract

Resume But L’objectif de cette etude etait d’evaluer l’efficacite et la securite d’utilisation de l’implant intra vitreen de dexamethasone (ID) chez les patients atteints d’œdeme maculaire diabetique (OMD) en vraie vie. Methodes Il s’agissait d’une etude monocentrique, retrospective, etudiant l’evolution apres injection d’ID de l’acuite visuelle et de l’epaisseur maculaire centrale (EMC) au pic d’efficacite (2 mois apres injection) ainsi que le rythme de reinjection et les complications chez des patients atteints de baisse de vision liee a un OMD. Resultats Quarante yeux de 33 patients etaient inclus avec une duree moyenne de suivi de 12,6 mois. 30 % des yeux ont presente un gain de leur meilleure acuite visuelle corrigee (MAVC) > 15 lettres pendant leur suivi au pic d’efficacite apres chaque injection d’ID (p 25 mmHg au pic d’efficacite, et 12,5 % des yeux ont necessite une chirurgie de la cataracte pendant le suivi. Conclusion L’ID a une bonne efficacite fonctionnelle et anatomique chez ces patients avec un bon profil de tolerance. Les patients naifs avec un OMD moins ancien ont un gain d’acuite visuelle (AV) plus prolonge apres les injections et une meilleure recuperation visuelle a 6 mois, ce qui encourage a initier un traitement par ID precocement en cas d’inefficacite des anti VEGF.

Abstract

All solitary fibrous tumors (SFT), now histologically diagnosed by a positive nuclear STAT6 immunostaining, represent less than 2% of soft tissue sarcomas, with spinal SFT constituting a maximum of 2% of them, making these tumors extremely rare. We provide an up-to-date overview of their diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. We included 10 primary STAT6-positive SFT from our retrospective cohort and 31 from a systematic review. Spinal pain was the most common symptom, in 69% of patients, and the only one in 34%, followed by spinal cord compression in 41%, radicular compression, including pain or deficit, in 36%, and urinary dysfunction specifically in 18%. Preoperative diagnosis was never obtained. Gross total resection was achieved in 71%, in the absence of spinal cord invasion or excessive bleeding. Histologically, they were 35% grade I, 25% grade II, and 40% grade III. Recurrence was observed in 43% after a mean 5.8 years (1 to 25). No significant risk factor was identified, but adjuvant radiotherapy improved the recurrence-free survival after subtotal resection. In conclusion, spinal SFT must be treated by neurosurgeons as part of a multidisciplinary team. Owing to their close relationship with the spinal cord, radiotherapy should be considered when gross total resection cannot be achieved, to lower the risk of recurrence.

Abstract

Pituicytomas (PT) are rare benign sellar and/or supra sellar tumors which surgical treatment might be challenging, owing to the hypervascularity of the tumor. Here, we report our experience with PTs, describe their clinical and radiological features, and propose an optimal therapeutic strategy.This is a retrospective single-center study, reporting the clinical manifestations, radiological characteristics, histopathological features, treatment strategies and long-term outcomes of four patients who have been treated for a PT at Bicêtre University Hospital in Paris, France, over the past 7 years.Four patients were operated mean age at presentation was 60.25 years. Main symptoms, which tended to be progressive, included visual field defects and pituitary-hypothalamic dysfunction. Radiologically, all our cases resented with sellar and suprasellar localization with cavernous invasion in 75% of cases. Endoscopic transphenoidal approach was performed as first surgery for all cases. Transcranial route was done in one case. During surgery, important bleeding was observed in all cases. Gross total resection was obtained with a single surgery in two cases and a second surgery was necessary in the two remaining cases. Pathological diagnosis was confirmed in all cases. No recurrences were noted after an average follow-up of 3.6 years.PT is a rare differential diagnosis of sellar and/or parasellar tumors, whose hemorrhagic nature can become a challenge during surgery. We added four more cases to the literature to make physicians establish Piticytomas at suspicion diagnosis for sellar and/or suprasellar masses. Knowing the diagnosis, a preparation should be made preoperatively to avoid possible complications peroperatively.

50. Two Peas in a Pod? Development of Twin Relationships in Light of Twins’ Temperament Differences

Abstract

This study examines the hypothesis that temperamental (dis)similarity is associated with twin relationship quality. In a longitudinal study that followed 322 monozygotic twins (who share close to 100% of their genes) and 1199 dizygotic twins (who on average, share 50% of their segregating genes) throughout childhood, mothers ( N = 1547) and fathers ( N = 536) reported on their twins’ relationships on at least one of four measurement points when the twins were between 3 and 8–9 years of age. Mothers also reported on the twins’ temperament. Negative associations were found between reports by both parents on the twins’ closeness and their temperament difference throughout childhood, while positive associations were found between twins’ conflict and their temperament difference in late childhood. Latent growth modeling indicated that the association between temperament differences and the twins’ mother-reported closeness was evident beyond the effect of zygosity. A different pattern was found for twin conflict: the more the twins differed in their temperament (specifically negative emotionality) with age, the more the conflict between them increased. Our findings support the hypothesis that personality similarities can contribute to positive relationships from early childhood, and vice versa, beyond the effect of genetic similarity.
