5. Entropy in Cardiac Autonomic Nervous System of Adolescents with General Learning Disabilities or Dyslexia

Author

S, G. Bacopoulou, F. Chryssanthopoulos, S. Koutelekos, J. Lambrou, G.I. Cokkinos, D.

Abstract

Heart rate variability (HRV) represents one of the two key markers of the autonomic nervous system. It is measured by the time variation in the beat-to-beat interval, while the period between successive beats is defined as the RR interval (RRI). Its components are classified as linear and non-linear. In the field of psychophysiology, HRV is investigated as a key player of possible predictive or diagnostic value. Female adolescents with general learning disabilities or dyslexia were recruited at the Center for Adolescent Medicine and UNESCO Chair on Adolescent Health Care of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Adolescents were further assessed for HRV. Data were collected with the Task Force® Monitor at the Cardiovascular Laboratory of the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens. The RRI time-series were estimated for approximate entropy (AE), conditional entropy (CE), corrected conditional entropy (CCE), fuzzy entropy (FE), permutation entropy (PE), sample entropy (SE), and Shannon’s entropy (ShE). RRI manifested complex dynamics, indicating a complex pattern of progression. This finding suggests that RRI conceals non-linear dynamics, which if investigated in depth could provide more knowledge on the relation between RRI and learning disorders. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract

Background: Kisspeptin (encoded by the KISS1 gene in humans) is an excitatory neuromodulatory peptide implicated in multiple homeostatic systems, including anti-oxidation, glucose homeostasis, nutrition, locomotion, etc. Therefore, in the current obesity epidemic, kisspeptin is gaining increasing interest as a research objective. Aim: To construct an updated interactome of genetic obesity, including the kisspeptin signal transduction pathway. Methods: Kisspeptin and obesity-related genes or gene products were extracted from the biomedical literature, and a network of functional associations was created. Results: The generated network contains 101 nodes corresponding to gene/gene products with known and/or predicted interactions. In this interactome, KISS1 and KISS1R are connected directly to the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHCGR), gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GNRH1), and indirectly, through the latter, to proopiomelanocortin (POMC), glucagon, leptin (LEP), and/or pro-protein convertase subtilisin/kexin-type 1 (PCSK1), all of which are critically implicated in obesity disorders. Conclusions: Our updated obesidome includes kisspeptin and its connections to the genetic obesity signalosome with 12 major hubs: glucagon (GCG), insulin (INS), arginine vasopressin (AVP), G protein subunit beta 1 (GNB1) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC), melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), leptin (LEP), gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GNRH1), adrenoceptor beta 2 and 3 (ADRB2-3), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R), and melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R) genes were identified as major “hubs” for genetic obesity, providing novel insight into the body’s energy homeostasis. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

8. Fractal Dynamics in the RR Interval of Craniopharyngioma and Adrenal Tumor in Adolescence

Author

S, G. Bacopoulou, F. Lambrou, G.I. Cokkinos, D.

Abstract

Heart rate variability (HRV) is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is measured by the variation in the beat-to-beat interval and/or RR variability (where R is a point corresponding to the peak of the QRS complex of the ECG wave and RR is the interval between successive Rs) and other components extracted from these. HRV is a field of research interest in pathophysiology (in general) and cancer prognosis (more specifically). Adolescents with adrenal tumor or craniopharyngioma were investigated, herein. Αutonomic nervous system recordings were performed with Task Force® Monitor (gold standard of the Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology and the North American Society of Electrophysiology). The RR interval (RRI) time series calculations were performed with the MatLab® computational environment and included the estimation of fractal dimension and Lyapunov exponent. Fractal dimensions were calculated by estimating N and R, where N represents the number of “squares” needed for a fractal shape to be completed and their respective “square size” R. By definition, if the first derivative of d ln N/d ln R remains constant for a space of R, this is the fractal dimension of the shape, in the present case of the time series trajectory. We found that RRI manifested different fractal dynamics, thus, a complex pattern of progression in these two morbid entities, suggesting the need for further investigation in ANS contribution to tumor pathophysiology. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

9. Chronic Systemic Inflammation Measured by Bioimpedance Technology Before and After Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Feasibility Study

Author

Abstract

Stress induces obesity, while extreme obesity causes stress, anxiety, and even depression. Yet, knowledge on the underlying mechanism(s) has many gaps. To this end, we designed a feasibility study, focused on 18 bariatric patients recruited by the First Propaideutic Department of Surgery at the Hippokration University Hospital in Athens, Greece. The patients (aged 23–58 y, weight 101–185.4 kg before surgery) were weighted and evaluated by advanced bioimpedance technology 2–3 days before surgery at the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens. We employed Bioimpedance Electrolytic Extracellular Tomography (Tomeex), which characterizes (a) neurodegenerative responsiveness to stress, (b) sensory and autonomic tones by basal extracellular conductance (BEC), and (c) activity of limbic and cortical brain areas. The patients’ mean body weight loss after 6 months was 48.8 ± 3.1Kg, while stress levels evaluated by appropriate questionnaires decreased (Spearman coefficient significance level p

Abstract

Mapping time-structures is a burgeoning scientific field enriching the (P4) medicine models. Local evidence in Mediterranean populations is underinvestigated. The Censed stroke-related death events (D) in the largest East-Mediterranean port (Piraeus), during (1985-1989), when local population had diet and genetic homogeneity-been interrupted by the immigration into Greece in 1990s, and Sunspot numbers indexed by Wolf numbers (Rz) (1944-2004), were evaluated using Fast Fourier Analysis and Singular Spectrum Analysis in MATLAB. D were turned with fluctuations >35% in Rz. A non-anthropogenic 6.8 days cycle was recognized. This study may be taken into consideration in future public health planning and chronotherapy evaluations. © 2020 Geronikolou S et al.

11. Cellular Phone User’s Age or the Duration of Calls Moderate Autonomic Nervous System? A Meta-Analysis

Author

Abstract

Background: The European Health Risk Assessment Network on Electromagnetic Fields Exposure (EFHRAN) reported in 2012: “Children and adolescents represent the first generation of Europeans to be exposed to diffuse EMF since their conception and birth, thus, they are expected to be more sensitive to these fields.” On the other hand, the body’s physiologic processes are regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in a way that warrants further elucidation. Objective: Age and duration of exposure are investigated for modifying the variance of the reported effects of mobile/cellular phone call (CPC) on ANS indexed, herein, by the heart rate variability (HRV). Method: Five studies targeted to 124 healthy subjects (aged 15.3–28.4 years (24.3 ± 5.2), who have been recorded in supine position before and/or sham versus real exposure (to a CPC lasting 5–32 minutes), are included in this meta-analysis. Age and duration of a CPC are evaluated as predictors in two separate meta-regressions. Results: The meta-analysis identified a heterogeneity I2 = 63.2% for all outcomes and I2 = 65.2% for sympathovagal balance. Thus, we performed meta-regressions: for the sympathovagal balance rather than the combined parameters effect, the goodness of fit model presents significance only for age – the residual sum of squares compared to chi-square distribution (QR) is 4.24 for age (p = 0.12) – while, for minutes of exposure, QR = 8.2805 (p = 0.016). Conclusions: The sympathovagal balance – indispensible for health/homeostasis maintenance – is strongly predicted by age. Minutes of exposure did not affect overall HRV or sympathovagal balance. The results endorse/validate the EFHRAN 2012 suggestion for future research targeting to youngsters. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

36. Evaluating the homeostasis assessment model insulin resistance and the cardiac autonomic system in bariatric surgery patients: A meta-analysis

Author

Abstract

Morbid obesity is a severe chronic disease and subject to surgical methods for losing weight. This intervention is expected to drive to better quality of life and health status. Other important aspects which may be influenced are: HOMA-IR (as insulin resistance marker) and heart rate variability (as cardiac function and autonomic nervous system marker), which are independent and valid predictors of future cardiac, neurological, metabolic health. We pooled 4 studies (646 subjects) resulting to HOMA-IR and nine HRV components-grouped in those undergone to gastric bypass (RYGP) and those operated with vertical sleeve gastrectomy (SG) method. We performed a meta-analysis in patients for HOMA-IR and HRV, using Hedge’s g correction of Cohen d for small samples. We concluded that RYGP favors insulin resistance decrease, whereas SG increases the vagal tone, improving cardiac function. The severity of cardiovascular diseases history suggests the selection of the surgery method: SG for the most severe cardiovascular cases and RYGP for those with higher HOMA-IR. © 2017, Springer International Publishing AG.

37. Interactome of obesity: Obesidome: Genetic obesity, stress induced obesity, pathogenic obesity interaction

Author

Geronikolou, S.A. Pavlopoulou, A. Cokkinos, D. Chrousos, G.

Abstract

Obesity is a chronic disease of increasing prevalence reaching epidemic proportions. Genetic defects as well as epigenetic effects contribute to the obesity phenotype. Investigating gene (e.g. MC4R defects)-environment (behavior, infectious agents, stress) interactions is a relative new field of great research interest. In this study, we have made an effort to create an interactome (henceforth referred to as “obesidome”), where extrinsic stressors response, intrinsic predisposition, immunity response to inflammation and autonomous nervous system implications are integrated. These pathways are presented in one interactome network for the first time. In our study, obesity-related genes/gene products were found to form a complex interactions network. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.

Abstract

Aims: To explore the relationship between temperature measurements derived by microwave radiometry (MWR) and carotid flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and assess their association with histological and immunohistochemistry findings in patients with high-grade carotid stenosis. Methods and results: In 21 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, carotid inflammation was evaluated by both FDG positron emission/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) imaging and MWR measurements. Carotid inflammation was assessed by PET/CT as target-to-background ratio (TBR) by obtaining measurements in consecutive axial slices 2 cm below to 2 cm above the carotid bifurcation. Temperature difference (ΔT) by MWR was assigned as the maximum-minimum temperature measurements over the corresponding carotid segments. The extent of lipid core, calcification as well as CD68 and CD31 levels were also assessed. There was a significant correlation between ΔT values and FDG uptake (R = 0.40, P = 0.01), but no correlation between the degree of angiographic stenosis and ΔT values (R = -0.02, P = 0.91) or PET/CT measurements (R = -0.28, P = 0.86). Patients with plaques containing high lipid core extension or low calcification exhibited higher ΔT (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) and FDG uptake values (P = 0.02 and P = 0.02, respectively). Patients with plaques containing increased CD68 expression exhibited higher ΔT and FDG uptake measurements. Conclusion: Carotid plaque inflammation was evaluated by temperature measurements, which were correlated with FDG-PET/CT indices, confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry findings. Structural changes did not predict inflammatory process. The implications of these findings in risk stratification and management of patients with carotid atherosclerosis and the precise algorithm for potential clinical utilization of MWR and PET/CT remain to be determined. © The Author 2016.

Abstract

Limited data are available on the body composition of adolescent women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to examine differences in body composition indices of metabolism, homeostasis and inflammation, between Greek adolescent females suffering from PCOS and age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched non-PCOS controls. Thirteen PCOS patients and nine non-PCOS controls, aged 13–24 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Study participants underwent assessment by a novel dual frequency bioimpedance device (BIA-ACC). The following body composition indices were measured in each adolescent: extra cellular water (ECW) as inflammation marker, total body water (TBW) as homeostasis marker, extracellular mass to body cell mass ratio (ECM/BCM), fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM) and intracellular water (ICW) as markers of body mass composition and metabolism. Non-linear analysis showed no statistically significant differences in the body composition characteristics between PCOS patients and controls. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm whether adolescents with PCOS actually have similar body composition profile with their non-PCOS peers. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.

Abstract

Aims: To gain insight in the prognosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients during 1-year follow-up in the Euro Heart Survey (EHS) on AF. Methods and results: The EHS enrolled 5333 AF patients in 2003-2004. One-year follow-up data were available for 80%. Of first detected AF patients, 46% did not have a recurrence during 1 year, paroxysmal AF largely remained paroxysmal AF (80%), and 30% of persistent AF progressed to permanent AF. Many treatment changes occurred since baseline. Oral anticoagulation was started in 19% and discontinued in 16% of all patients. Of patients initially on rhythm control 27% did not receive rhythm control during follow-up, whereas 15% of patients initially on rate control received rhythm control. Mortality was highest in permanent AF (8.2%), but also substantial in first detected AF (5.7%). In multivariable analysis, sinus rhythm at baseline was associated with lower mortality, but no significant effect was observed regarding the application of either rhythm or rate control. Conclusion: The EHS on AF provides unique prospective observational data on AF progression, long-term treatment, prognosis, and determinants of adverse outcome of the total clinical spectrum of AF in a European cardiology-based patient cohort. © The Author 2008.

Abstract

Aims To describe guideline adherence and application of different stroke risk stratification schemes regarding antithrombotic therapy in real-life atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and to assess which factors influence antithrombotic management decisions. Methods and results The Euro Heart Survey enrolled 5333 AF patients in 35 countries, in 2003 and 2004. Prescription of antithrombotic drugs, especially oral anticoagulation (OAC), was hardly tailored to the patient's stroke risk profile as indicated by the joint guidelines of the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and the European Society of Cardiology, ACCP guidelines, or CHADS2 and Framingham risk scores. In multivariable analysis, only a limited number of the well-known stroke risk factors triggered OAC prescription. In contrast, less relevant factors, of which clinical type of AF and availability of an OAC monitoring outpatient clinic were the most marked, played a significant role in OAC prescription. Electrical cardioversions and catheter ablations clearly triggered OAC prescription, whereas pharmacological cardioversions even in the presence of stroke risk factors did not. Conclusion Antithrombotic therapy in AF is hardly tailored to the patient's stroke risk profile. Factors other than well-known stroke risk factors were significantly involved in antithrombotic management decisions. To facilitate this tailored treatment, guideline writers and physician educators should focus on providing one uniform and easy to use stroke risk stratification scheme.

Abstract

Aims: Although diabetes is known to be a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, as well as an independent predictor for adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), information on the prognosis of patients with CAD and newly diagnosed diabetes or impaired glucose regulation (IGR) is scarce. The objective of this study was to explore 1-year outcome in relation to different glucometabolic states of patients participating in the Euro Heart Survey on diabetes and the heart. Methods and results: In 4676 out of 4961 patients, information on the relation between 1-year outcome and glucometabolic state, which was based on oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or fasting glucose plasma, was available. A normal glucose metabolism was identified in 947 patients, IGR (impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance) in 1116 patients, and diabetes in 1877 patients of whom 1425 were previously diagnosed and 452 newly diagnosed. In total, 736 patients could not be classified, as no OGTT or fasting plasma glucose was performed. Previously recognized and newly detected diabetes was associated with an increased risk of 1-year mortality when compared with patients with normal glucose regulation [hazard ratio (HR) 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.5-3.8 and HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.6, respectively)]. IGR, however, could not be identified as an independent predictor for 1-year mortality (HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.6-1.9). Conclusion: This study confirmed that patients with CAD and known diabetes are at high risk for mortality and cardiovascular events and demonstrated that patients with newly diagnosed diabetes are at intermediate risk for adverse outcomes. IGR, however, could not be identified as an independent predictor for adverse outcomes during the 1-year follow-up period. © The European Society of Cardiology 2006. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Objective: Self-perceived health status may be helpful in identifying patients at high risk for adverse outcomes. The Euro Heart Survey on Coronary Revascularization (EHS-CR) provided an opportunity to explore whether impaired health status was a predictor of 1-year mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing angiographic procedures. Methods: Data from the EHS-CR that included 5619 patients from 31 member countries of the European Society of Cardiology were used. Inclusion criteria for the current study were completion of a self-report measure of health status, the EuroQol Questionnaire (EQ-5D) at discharge and information on 1-year follow-up, resulting in a study population of 3786 patients. Results: The 1-year mortality was 3.2% (n = 120). Survivors reported fewer problems on the five dimensions of the EQ-5D as compared with non-survivors. A broad range of potential confounders were adjusted for, which reached a p

Abstract

Aims: Revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease changed over the last two decades, favouring the number of patients treated by means of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) when compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been performed to compare these two competing revascularization techniques. Because of the strict enrolment criteria of RCTs in which highly selected patients are recruited, the applicability of the results may be limited in clinical practice. The current study evaluates to what extent patients in clinical practice were similar to those who participated in RCTs comparing PCI with CABG. Methods and results: Clinical characteristics and 1-year outcome of 4713 patients enrolled in the Euro Heart Survey on Coronary Revascularization were compared with 8647 patients who participated in 14 major RCTs, comparing PCI with CABG. In addition, we analysed which proportion of survey patients would have disqualified for trial participation (n = 3033, 64%), aiming at identifying differences between trial-eligible and trial-ineligible survey patients. In general, important differences were observed between trial participants and survey patients. Patients in clinical practice were older, more often had comorbid conditions, single-vessel disease, and left main stem stenosis when compared with trial participants. Almost identical differences were observed between trial-eligible and trial-ineligible survey patients. In clinical practice, PCI was the treatment of choice, even in patients who were trial-ineligible (46% PCI, 26% CABG, 28% medical). PCI remained the preferred treatment option in patients with multi-vessel disease (57% in trial-eligible and 40% in trial-ineligible patients, respectively, P < 0.001); yet, the risk profile of patients treated by PCI was better than that for patients treated either by CABG or by medical therapy. In the RCTs, there was no mortality difference between PCI and CABG. In clinical practice, however, we observed 1-year unadjusted survival benefit for PCI vs. CABG (2.9 vs. 5.4%, P < 0.001). Survival benefit was only observed in trial-ineligible patients (3.3 vs. 6.2%, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Many patients in clinical practice were not represented in RCTs. Moreover, only 36% of these patients were considered eligible for participating in a trial comparing PCI with CABG. We demonstrated that RCTs included younger patients with a better cardiovascular risk profile when compared with patients in everyday clinical practice. This study highlights the disparity between patients in clinical practice and patients in whom the studies that provide the evidence for treatment guidelines are performed. © The European Society of Cardiology 2006.

Abstract

Aim The objective behind the Euro Heart Survey on diabetes and the heart was to study the prevalence of abnormal glucose regulation in adult patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and results The survey engaged 110 centres in 25 countries recruiting 4196 patients referred to a cardiologist due to CAD out of whom 2107 were admitted on an acute basis and 2854 had an elective consultation. Patient data were collected via a web-based case record form. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was used for the characterisation of the glucose metabolism. Thirty-one per cent of the patients had diabetes. An OGTT was performed on the 1920 patients without known diabetes, of whom 923 had acute and 997 had a stable manifestation of CAD, respectively. In patients with acute CAD, 36% had impaired glucose regulation and 22% newly detected diabetes. In the stable group these proportions were 37% and 14%. Conclusion This survey demonstrates that normal glucose regulation is less common than abnormal glucose regulation in patients with CAD. OGTT easily discloses the glucometabolic state and should be a routine procedure. The knowledge of glucometabolic state among these patients should influence their future management because it has great potential to improve the outcome.
