Abstract

Background: Family-centred critical care recognises the impact of a loved one's critical illness on his relatives. Open visiting is a strategy to improve family satisfaction and psychological outcomes by permitting unrestricted or less restricted access to visit their family member in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, increased family presence may result in increased workload and a risk of burnout for ICU staff. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate ICU staff perceptions regarding visiting hours and family access in Australian and New Zealand ICUs. Secondary outcomes included an evaluation of current visiting policies, witnessed events in ICUs, and barriers to implementing open visiting policies. Design: A web-based survey open to all healthcare workers in Australia and New Zealand ICUs was distributed through local, state-based, and national critical care networks. Open visiting was defined as ICUs open for visiting >14 h per day. Main results: We received 1255 valid responses. Most respondents were nurses (n = 930, 74.1%) with a median critical care experience of 10 y. Most worked in open visiting ICUs (n = 749, 59.7%). Reported visiting hours varied greatly with a median of 20 h per day (interquartile range: 10–24 h). Open visiting was perceived as beneficial for the relatives, but less so for patients and staff (relatives: n = 845, 67.3%, patients: n = 561, 44.7%, staff: n = 257, 20.5%, p < 0.0001). Respondents from closed visiting units and nurses identified more risks from open visiting than other professional groups. Generally, staff preferred not to change from their current practice. Conclusion: We report that staff perceived open visiting as beneficial for relatives, but also identified risks to themselves, including increased workload, a risk of burnout, and a risk of occupational violence. Reluctance to change highlights the importance of addressing staff perceptions when implementing an open visiting policy.

Abstract

Statistical analyses were carried out on the NL Genetic Cluster Computer (http://www.geneticcluster.org) hosted by SURFsara and the Mount Sinai high performance computing cluster (http://hpc.mssm.edu), which is supported by the Office of Research Infrastructure of the National Institutes of Health (Grant Nos. S10OD018522 and S10OD026880). This work was conducted in part using the resources of the Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN. This work was funded by the National Institutes of Health (Grant Nos. R01MH116269 and R01MH121455 [to DMR]), NIGMS of the National Institutes of Health (Grant No. T32GM007347 [to JK]), and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (NARSAD Young Investigator Award No. 29551 [to NM])., BACKGROUND: Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, and nonfatal suicide attempts, which occur far more frequently, are a major source of disability and social and economic burden. Both have substantial genetic etiology, which is partially shared and partially distinct from that of related psychiatric disorders. METHODS: We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 29,782 suicide attempt (SA) cases and 519,961 controls in the International Suicide Genetics Consortium (ISGC). The GWAS of SA was conditioned on psychiatric disorders using GWAS summary statistics via multitrait-based conditional and joint analysis, to remove genetic effects on SA mediated by psychiatric disorders. We investigated the shared and divergent genetic architectures of SA, psychiatric disorders, and other known risk factors. RESULTS: Two loci reached genome-wide significance for SA: the major histocompatibility complex and an intergenic locus on chromosome 7, the latter of which remained associated with SA after conditioning on psychiatric disorders and replicated in an independent cohort from the Million Veteran Program. This locus has been implicated in risk-taking behavior, smoking, and insomnia. SA showed strong genetic correlation with psychiatric disorders, particularly major depression, and also with smoking, pain, risk-taking behavior, sleep disturbances, lower educational attainment, reproductive traits, lower socioeconomic status, and poorer general health. After conditioning on psychiatric disorders, the genetic correlations between SA and psychiatric disorders decreased, whereas those with nonpsychiatric traits remained largely unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: Our results identify a risk locus that contributes more strongly to SA than other phenotypes and suggest a shared underlying biology between SA and known risk factors that is not mediated by psychiatric disorders., Office of Research Infrastructure of the National Institutes of Health S10OD018522 S10OD026880, United States Department of Health & Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA R01MH116269 R01MH121455, NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) T32GM007347 NARSAD 29551

Abstract

Growing demand for genetic counselling and testing has created a need for innovative service delivery models to provide quality care in an efficient manner. The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate a patient-facing webinar providing pre-test genetic counselling to individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A patient-facing webinar was developed and implemented between April 2019 and January 2021. It was evaluated using the Alberta Quality Matrix for Health framework, which considers the patient experience across the domains of effectiveness, appropriateness, acceptability, accessibility, and efficiency. The webinar group showed comparable scores to controls with regard to self-perceived knowledge and decisional conflict. The majority of patients reported that the webinar met their expectations and was an acceptable replacement for a 1:1 genetic counselling appointment. Finally, the webinar reduced genetic counsellor time to an average of 24 min per patient. Providing pre-test genetic counselling to index hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients via a group webinar has achieved a high quality of care, and optimized use of provider and space resources.

Abstract

Dowse, RA, Secomb, JL, Bruton, M, Parsonage, J, Ferrier, B, Waddington, G, and Nimphius, S. Ankle proprioception in male and female surfers and the implications of motor experience and lower-body strength. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2021-The primary objectives were to evaluate if the active movement extent discrimination apparatus (AMEDA) condition (i.e., front foot and back foot plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion) and the level of competition explained ankle movement discrimination scores and, thereafter, examined the contribution of surf experience, physical capacity, and ability to proprioception. It was also considered important to re-evaluate the surf experience, anthropometric characteristics, physical capacities, and abilities of male and female surfers. Twenty-six male (n = 12, surf experience = 18 ± 8 years) and female surfers (n = 14, surf experience = 9 ± 6 years) completed a pre-exercise medical questionnaire, anthropometric assessment, 8 AMEDA assessments, countermovement jump, squat jump, and isometric midthigh pull assessment. The AMEDA condition and level of competition did not have a statistically significant main effect on ankle movement discrimination scores; however, the effect of the gender/sex was significant (p = 0.044). Surf experience (p = 0.029) and lower-body isometric strength (p = 0.029) had a statistically significant but small main effect on ankle movement discrimination scores. The results also confirmed that there were significant differences in surf experience, anthropometric characteristics, physical capacity, and jumping ability between male and female surfers. As surf experience and physical capacity were only able to explain a small magnitude of ankle movement discrimination scores, it is suggested that ankle proprioception in surfers may be related to both the volume and quality of the motor experience attained, which may be augmented by environmental and sociocultural factors.

Abstract

Aim To describe the evolution of electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics in infants with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and the relationship with neurodevelopmental outcome at 24 months. Method Eighty-three infants were enrolled in the EPISTOP trial and underwent serial EEG follow-up until the age of 24 months (males n=45, females n=37, median age at enrolment 28d, interquartile range 14-54d). Maturation of the EEG background and epileptiform discharges were compared between the TSC1 and TSC2 variants and between preventive and conventional groups respectively. Results Children with TSC2 more frequently had a slower posterior dominant rhythm (PDR) at 24 months (51% vs 11%, p=0.002), a higher number of epileptiform foci (median=8 vs 4, p=0.003), and a lower fraction of EEGs without epileptiform discharges (18% vs 61%, p=0.001) at follow-up. A slower PDR at 24 months was significantly associated with lower cognitive (median=70 vs 80, p=0.028) and motor developmental quotients (median=70 vs 79, p=0.008). A higher fraction of EEGs without epileptiform discharges was associated with a lower probability of autism spectrum disorder symptoms (odds ratio=0.092, 95% confidence interval=0.009-0.912, p=0.042) and higher cognitive (p=0.004), language (p=0.002), and motor (p=0.001) developmental quotients at 24 months. Interpretation TSC2 is associated with more abnormal EEG characteristics compared to TSC1, which are predictive for neurodevelopmental outcome.

Abstract

Background Drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESSs) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) are potentially severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Objective To describe the clinical findings and sensitization profiles of DRESS and AGEP patients who had been administered iodinated contrast media (ICM). Methods All adult patients in the dermatologist's French Investigators for Skin Adverse Reactions to Drugs (FISARD) network diagnosed with a DRESS or AGEP highly suspected to have been caused by an ICM were included retrospectively. Results Thirteen DRESS patients and 19 AGEP patients who had been administered ICM were included, and the median delay in DRESS and AGEP occurrence after ICM administration was short, 4 and 1 days, respectively. Five AGEP patients had systemic involvement. A high cosensitization rate (46%) was observed among the DRESS patients, mainly with beta-lactam antibiotics. Overall, 77% of our patients were sensitized to several ICM. Patch tests identified the suspected ICM for 21 cases (72%). The retrospective nature, the limited number of subjects, the absence of a control group of healthy individuals, and the lack of detailed information on previous exposure to sensitizing drugs are limitations of this study. Conclusions We report a large series of DRESSs and AGEPs related to ICM administration. Skin tests appear useful for diagnosis and potentially to identify alternative ICM.

Abstract

Purpose Characterize and determine the frequency of dissections of the supra-aortic arteries (SAA) and injuries to the cervical spine and pharyngolaryngeal cartilages viewed on CT scans after an attempted suicide by hanging. Materials and methods A retrospective, single-centre study of all patients admitted for attempted suicide by hanging between January 2010 and June 2017 who received CT angiography of the SAA. Search for signs of dissection of the cervical arteries and injuries to the brain, spinal column and pharyngeal and laryngeal cartilages. The results were compared with the initial clinical severity, which was assessed indirectly by whether patients were initially admitted in an intensive care unit (ICU) or in an emergency department (ED). Results Out of 162 patients included, 4 presented with SAA dissection (2.5%), comprising 3 vertebral arteries and 1 external carotid artery. The cases in question were of 4 men, all in cardiac arrest on arrival and all were treated in ICU. Of the most serious cases, 18/72 (25%) had anoxia-related injuries and one also presented with a C2 fracture. No vascular lesions or signs of cerebral anoxia were observed in the 90 ED patients. Nevertheless, pharyngeal and laryngeal fractures were observed in both groups, with no significant difference. Conclusion In our study, 2.5% of CT angiograms performed after an attempted hanging revealed SAA dissection. Crucially, only most severe patients, who have been immediately admitted to ICU suffered SAA. These results call into question the systematic indication of this exam in cases of hanging attempts.

Abstract

This paper presents a review of established and emerging methods for detecting and quantifying the intravenous anaesthetic propofol in solution. There is growing evidence of numerous advantages of total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol compared to conventional volatile-based anaesthesia, both in terms of patient outcomes and environmental impact. However, volatile-based anaesthesia still accounts for the vast majority of administered general anaesthetics, largely due to a lack of techniques for real-time monitoring of patient blood propofol concentration. Herein, propofol detection techniques that have been developed to date are reviewed alongside a discussion of remaining challenges.

Abstract

Purpose In adults requiring treatment in an intensive care unit, probiotic therapy using Lactobacillus plantarum 299v may reduce nosocomial infection. The aim of this study was to determine whether early and sustained L. plantarum 299v therapy administered to adult ICU patients increased days alive and at home. Methods A multicentre, parallel group, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial was conducted. Adult patients within 48 h of intensive care admission and expected to require intensive care beyond the day after recruitment were eligible to participate. L plantarum 299v or placebo were administered immediately after enrolment and continued for 60 days. The primary outcome was days alive and out of hospital to Day 60 (DAOH60). Secondary outcomes included nosocomial infections. Results The median [interquartile range (IQR)] number of DAOH60 in the probiotic (n = 110) and placebo group (n = 108) was 49.5 (IQR 37.0–53.0) and 49.0 (IQR 43.8–53.0) respectively, between-group difference of 0.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) − 6.10 to 7.1, P = 0.55]. Nosocomial infection occurred in 8 (7.3%) and 5 (4.6%) of the probiotic and placebo group participants, respectively, odds ratio 1.62 (95% CI 0.51–5.10), P = 0.57. There were no serious, or probiotic-associated adverse events. Conclusion Early and sustained untargeted administration of probiotic therapy with Lactobacillus plantarum 299v to adult patients admitted to the ICU is safe, but not associated with improved patient outcomes.

Abstract

TP53 mutations are implicated in the progression of mucinous borderline tumors (MBOT) to mucinous ovarian carcinomas (MOC). Optimized immunohistochemistry (IHC) for TP53 has been established as a proxy for the TP53 mutation status in other ovarian tumor types. We aimed to confirm the ability of TP53 IHC to predict TP53 mutation status in ovarian mucinous tumors and to evaluate the association of TP53 mutation status with survival among patients with MBOT and MOC. Tumor tissue from an initial cohort of 113 women with MBOT/MOC was stained with optimized IHC for TP53 using tissue microarrays (75.2%) or full sections (24.8%) and interpreted using established criteria as normal or abnormal (overexpression, complete absence, or cytoplasmic). Cases were considered concordant if abnormal IHC staining predicted deleterious TP53 mutations. Discordant tissue microarray cases were re-evaluated on full sections and interpretational criteria were refined. The initial cohort was expanded to a total of 165 MBOT and 424 MOC for the examination of the association of survival with TP53 mutation status, assessed either by TP53 IHC and/or sequencing. Initially, 82/113 (72.6%) cases were concordant using the established criteria. Refined criteria for overexpression to account for intratumoral heterogeneity and terminal differentiation improved concordance to 93.8% (106/113). In the expanded cohort, 19.4% (32/165) of MBOT showed evidence for TP53 mutation and this was associated with a higher risk of recurrence, disease-specific death, and all-cause mortality (overall survival: HR = 4.6, 95% CI 1.5-14.3, p = 0.0087). Within MOC, 61.1% (259/424) harbored a TP53 mutation, but this was not associated with survival (overall survival, p = 0.77). TP53 IHC is an accurate proxy for TP53 mutation status with refined interpretation criteria accounting for intratumoral heterogeneity and terminal differentiation in ovarian mucinous tumors. TP53 mutation status is an important biomarker to identify MBOT with a higher risk of mortality.

Abstract

We report a family with 2 neonatal deaths related to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and compound heterozygous loss-of-function variants (c.1243_1244del, p.Leu415Valfs*108 and c.1537C > T, p.Arg513*) in Leiomodin 2 (LMOD2), a recently documented cause of early DCM. The phenotype in mice and humans consists of early, severe cardiac dilation and dysfunction related to decreased functional LMOD2, which results in abnormal actin filaments and abnormal myocardial contractility. Our cases confirm mutations in LMOD2 as a cause of DCM in humans and highlight the rapid changes occurring in cardiac genetics and the importance of reviewing previously negative genetic test results in the context of emerging literature. RÉSUMÉ: Notre compte rendu concerne une famille dont deux nouveau-nés sont décédés des suites d'une cardiomyopathie dilatée (CMD) et qui présentaient une perte hétérozygote composite de variants fonctionnels (c.1243_1244del, p.Leu415Valfs*108 et c.1537C > T, p.Arg513*) du gène Leiomodin 2 (LMOD2), une cause récemment avérée de CMD précoce. Chez la souris et l'humain, le phénotype de cette anomalie consiste en une dilatation et une dysfonction cardiaques sévères précoces liées à une diminution de la fonction du gène LMOD2 entraînant des anomalies dans les filaments d'actine et la contractilité du myocarde. Nos cas permettent de confirmer que les mutations du gène LMOD2 sont une cause de CMD chez l'humain. Ils mettent en évidence les modifications rapides se produisant dans la génétique cardiaque et l'importance de revoir les résultats négatifs d'anciens tests génétiques à la lumière des nouvelles données publiées.

Abstract

Mitraclip corrects mitral regurgitation in a less invasive way than cardiac surgery. These procedures are becoming widespread with the emergence of new complications. We report a rare case of mitral stenosis associated with acute hemolytic anemia after mitraclip treatment in an 82-year-old patient. The cause of this stenosis in our case is linked to the placement of two clips and an increase gradient in post-procedure. The mechanism of hemolysis could be due to the persistence of mitral leaks resulting in strong collisions against the clip.

Abstract

Importance To assess early outcomes of intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) before patients have a chance to miss or discontinue treatment. Background Intravitreal VEGF inhibitors used to treat nAMD have been compared in various ways. The present study compared the 4-week responses to the first injection of either aflibercept, bevacizumab, or ranibizumab. Design Observational study. Participants Treatment-naive nAMD patients with visual acuity (VA) taken 22 to 48 days after the first treatment with an intravitreal VEGF inhibitor. Methods An observational study from a prospectively designed database. Main outcome measures VA change from baseline and proportion of eyes judged active 22 to 48 days after the first treatment. Results The overall mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) VA change at 4 weeks was +3.7 (3.3, 4.0) letters. No pairwise comparisons in crude VA change or VA change after multivariate adjustment between the three agents were significant. However, after multivariate adjustment, more eyes treated with bevacizumab (90%) had active disease 4 weeks after the first injection than ranibizumab (84%; P = .013) and aflibercept (82%; P = .004). Older age, higher baseline vision and larger lesions were associated with lower VA change. Conclusion There was no significant difference in VA gains amongst all three drugs but ranibizumab and aflibercept seemed to be more efficacious in quelling disease activity 4 weeks after the first treatment. VA change after the first injection was driven largely by baseline characteristics such as age, baseline VA and lesion size.

Abstract

The pathophysiological events of secondary brain injury contribute to poor outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The neuroprotective effects of mesenchymal cells have been extensively studied and evidence suggests that their effects are mostly mediated through paracrine effects. Human umbilical cord perivascular cells (HUCPVCs) are mesenchymal stem cells with potential therapeutic value in TBI. In this study, we assessed the effect of HUCPVC-conditioned media (CM) in an established adult zebrafish model of TBI induced by pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound (pHIFU). This model demonstrates similarities to mammalian outcome after TBI. Administration of HUCPVC-CM 1 h postinjury (hpi) resulted in improved outcome after pHIFU-induced TBI. Western blot and immunohistochemistry results demonstrated that the HUCPVC-CM reduced (

Abstract

Optimal position and fixation of the baseplate is essential for the longevity of the reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and the patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) can help the surgeon to achieve that purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of the PSI guides for the positioning of the baseplate and the fixation’s screws. Prospective study involving 35 patients operated for RSA. The PSI guides were planned and used by the senior surgeon in all cases. We compared the planned orientation (frontal and axial) of the baseplate and the screws with the post-operative CT scan. The mean difference between the planned measures and the post-op measures was inferior to 2.5°. The screw’s length corresponded with the pre-op plan in 70% of the cases. The use of a PSI guide to position the glenoid implant in total reverse shoulder arthroplasty is reliable, reduces the risk of positioning errors and improves the quality of fixation with the screws.

Abstract

Background Many surgeons are reluctant to discontinue prophylactic antibiotics after 24 hours in tissue expander breast reconstruction (TEBR) because of fear of increased risk of surgical site infection (SSI). Currently, there is no consensus regarding antibiotic prophylaxis duration in TEBR. In addition, there remains a lack of research investigating microorganisms involved in SSI across various perioperative antibiotic protocols. The purpose of this study was to examine how 2 different prophylactic antibiotic regimens impacted the bacterial profiles of SSI and rate of implant loss after TEBR. Methods A single-institution retrospective review of immediate TEBRs between 2001 and 2018 was performed. Surgical site infections requiring hospitalization before stage 2 were included. Highly virulent organisms were defined as ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter species). Implant loss was defined as removal of tissue expander without immediate replacement. Results Of 660 TEBRs, 85 (12.9%) developed an SSI requiring hospitalization before stage 2. Fifty-six (65.9%) received less than 24 hours of perioperative intravenous antibiotics and oral antibiotics after discharge (group 1), and 29 (34.1%) received less than 24 hours of intravenous antibiotics only (group 2). There was no significant difference in demographics, preoperative chemotherapy/radiation, acellular dermal matrix usage, or treatment of SSI between groups. In group 1, 64% (n = 36) developed culture positive SSIs, compared with 83% (n = 24) in group 2 (P = 0.076). Staphylococcus aureus was the most common bacteria in both groups. Group 2 demonstrated a significantly increased incidence of gram-positive organisms (46.4% vs 72.4%, P = 0.022) and S. aureus (21.4% vs 55.2%, P = 0.002). However, there was no significant difference in overall highly virulent (P = 0.168), gram-negative (P = 0.416), or total isolated organisms (P = 0.192). Implant loss between groups 1 and 2 (62.5% vs 62.1%, P = 0.969) respectively, was nearly identical. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that, despite differences in bacterial profiles between 2 antibiotic protocols, prolonged postoperative antibiotic use did not protect against overall highly virulent infections or implant loss. Antibiotic stewardship guidelines against the overuse of prolonged prophylactic regimens should be considered. Further analysis regarding timing of SSIs and antibiotic treatment is warranted.

Abstract

Objective: To assess the impact of the National Essential Medicines Scheme (NEMS) with respect to urban-rural inequalities regarding drug prescriptions in primary care facilities. Methods: A stratified two-stage random sampling strategy was used to sample 23,040 prescriptions from 192 primary care facilities from 2009 to 2010. Difference-in-Difference (DID) analyses were performed to test the association between NEMS and urban-rural gaps in prescription patterns. Between-Group Variance and Theil Index were calculated to measure urban-rural absolute and relative disparities in drug prescriptions. Results: The use of the Essential Medicines List (EML) achieved a compliance rate of up to 90 % in both urban and rural facilities. An overall reduction of average prescription cost improved economic access to drugs for patients in both areas. However, we observed an increased urban-rural disparity in average expenditure per prescription. The rate of antibiotics and glucocorticoids prescription remained high, despite a reduced disparity between urban and rural facilities. The average incidence of antibiotic prescription increased slightly in urban facilities (62 to 63 %) and reduced in rural facilities (67 % to 66 %). The urban-rural disparity in the use of parenteral administration (injections and infusions) increased, albeit at a high level in both areas (44 %-52 %). Conclusion: NEMS interventions are effective in reducing the overall average prescription costs. Despite the increased use of the EML, indicator performances with respect to rational drug prescribing and use remain poor and exceed the WHO/INRUD recommended cutoff values and worldwide benchmarks. There is an increased gap between urban and rural areas in the use of parenteral administration and expenditure per prescription.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to examine the prevalence and predictors associated with self-medication, and related consequences in Wuhan, China. Methods: Two-hundred-sixty residents were interviewed from randomly selected four districts of Wuhan, China. A modified version of Anderson’s health behavioral model was used in the survey to collect information of self-medication behavior. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to measure correlates of the prevalence of self-medication. Results: Nearly half of the respondents would select self-medication, and 39.1% would see a doctor if they felt sick. The most common self-medicated illnesses were cold and cough, cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal disease. The main reasons for self-medication were that the illness was not severe (enough) to see the doctor (45%); the patient did not think that the trouble of seeing a doctor was worth the effort (23%); the patient had no time to see the doctor (12%), and the patient did not want to pay high medical costs (15%). Logistic regression results suggested that respondents tended to select self-medication if the illness was minor or short-term (less than seven days). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that more strict regulation on over-the-counter medicines may be required to reduce health risks related to self-medication. Targeted health education on the risks of self-medication should be considered.

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this nurse-led project was to increase the number of interprofessional Tai Chi instructors for veterans through a 5-week (32 hours) training of trainers (ToT) course led by a Tai Chi master trainer. Methods This project was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the ToT model to increase the availability of Tai Chi to veterans. To understand how well the ToT course met learners' needs, a two-phase course evaluation was conducted. Results Fifteen interprofessional employees enrolled in and completed the course. Most learners were white (67%) females (67%) with a median age of 50 years. All agreed that the training provided the skills, materials, and confidence to lead Tai Chi classes. Most (93%) indicated experiencing positive health benefits from the training and none experienced any negative effects. The 3-month follow-up evaluation indicated that 10 (67%) were teaching veterans in individual or group classes with two others assisting. Twelve instructors taught more than 150 veterans. Conclusions Overall, learners evaluated this ToT course positively and indicated their needs were met and felt prepared to teach Tai Chi despite being inexperienced. The course was a success with 80% of new instructors teaching or coteaching Tai Chi to veterans.

Abstract

Background Features of new bone formation (NBF) are common in tophaceous gout. The aim of this project was to develop a plain radiographic scoring system for NBF in gout. Methods Informed by a literature review, scoring systems were tested in 80 individual 1st and 5th metatarsophalangeal joints. Plain radiography scores were compared with computed tomography (CT) measurements of the same joints. The best-performing scoring system was then tested in paired sets of hand and foot radiographs obtained over 2 years from an additional 25 patients. Inter-reader reproducibility was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). NBF scores were correlated with plain radiographic erosion scores (using the gout-modified Sharp-van der Heijde system). Results Following a series of structured reviews of plain radiographs and scoring exercises, a semi-quantitative scoring system for sclerosis and spur was developed. In the individual joint analysis, the inter-observer ICC (95% CI) was 0.84 (0.76–0.89) for sclerosis and 0.81 (0.72–0.87) for spur. Plain radiographic sclerosis and spur scores correlated with CT measurements (r = 0.65–0.74, P < 0.001 for all analyses). For the hand and foot radiograph sets, the inter-observer ICC (95% CI) was 0.94 (0.90–0.98) for sclerosis score and 0.76 (0.65–0.84) for spur score. Sclerosis and spur scores correlated highly with plain radiographic erosion scores (r = 0.87 and 0.71 respectively), but not with change in erosion scores over 2 years (r = −0.04–0.15). Conclusion A semi-quantitative plain radiographic scoring method for the assessment of NBF in gout is feasible, valid, and reproducible. This method may facilitate consistent measurement of NBF in gout.

Abstract

CA extern - Weitere Nicht-UDE-Autoren sind nicht genannt. Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better managed with a target-specific oral anticoagulant (NOAC). We hypothesized that in clinical practice, VKAs may be prescribed less frequently to patients with AF and SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 than to patients with lower scores. Methods and results: We analyzed the Phase III dataset of the Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (GLORIA-AF), a large, global, prospective global registry of patients with newly diagnosed AF and ≥1 stroke risk factor. We compared baseline clinical characteristics and antithrombotic prescriptions to determine the probability of the VKA prescription among anticoagulated patients with the baseline SAMe-TT2R2 score >2 and ≤ 2. Among 17,465 anticoagulated patients with AF, 4,828 (27.6%) patients were prescribed VKA and 12,637 (72.4%) patients an NOAC: 11,884 (68.0%) patients had SAMe-TT2R2 scores 0-2 and 5,581 (32.0%) patients had scores >2. The proportion of patients prescribed VKA was 28.0% among patients with SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 and 27.5% in those with scores ≤2. Conclusions: The lack of a clear association between the SAMe-TT2R2 score and anticoagulant selection may be attributed to the relative efficacy and safety profiles between NOACs and VKAs as well as to the absence of trial evidence that an SAMe-TT2R2-guided strategy for the selection of the type of anticoagulation in NVAF patients has an impact on clinical outcomes of efficacy and safety. The latter hypothesis is currently being tested in a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract

Importance: Tracheal intubation is one of the most commonly performed and high-risk interventions in critically ill patients. Limited information is available on adverse peri-intubation events. Objective: To evaluate the incidence and nature of adverse peri-intubation events and to assess current practice of intubation in critically ill patients. Design, Setting, and Participants: The International Observational Study to Understand the Impact and Best Practices of Airway Management in Critically Ill Patients (INTUBE) study was an international, multicenter, prospective cohort study involving consecutive critically ill patients undergoing tracheal intubation in the intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments, and wards, from October 1, 2018, to July 31, 2019 (August 28, 2019, was the final follow-up) in a convenience sample of 197 sites from 29 countries across 5 continents. Exposures: Tracheal intubation. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the incidence of major adverse peri-intubation events defined as at least 1 of the following events occurring within 30 minutes from the start of the intubation procedure: cardiovascular instability (either: systolic pressure 30 minutes, new or increase need of vasopressors or fluid bolus >15 mL/kg), severe hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation

Abstract

International audience; Objective: A better understanding of the immune response against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is critical to predict its dynamics within the general population and its impact on the vaccination strategy. This study assessed the persistence of neutralizing antibody (Nab) activity and SARS-CoV-2 serology in serum samples of mild and asymptomatic patients 9 months post symptom onset (PSO) in a primary care context among immunocompetent adults. Methods: A longitudinal cohort of crew members (CMs) exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during an outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 on the French aircraft carrier 'Charles de Gaulle' in April 2020 was created. CMs infected with COVID-19 and with positive serology at the end of quarantine were tested 9 months PSO. Samples were collected 18 and 280 days PSO. For each patient, both serology and serum viral neutralizing activity were performed. Results: In total, 86 CMs were analysed. Samples were collected 18 and 280 days PSO. The seroconversion rates were 100% and 93% (82/86) at 18 and 280 days PSO, respectively, and 72.7% of patients exhibited persistent Nab activity at 9 months, regardless of disease severity. Conclusion: Nab activity persists for up to 9 months following asymptomatic/mild COVID-19 among young adults, regardless of serological results.

Abstract

© 2020 The Author(s)., [Purpose]: The DIANA study aimed to evaluate how often antimicrobial de-escalation (ADE) of empirical treatment is performed in the intensive care unit (ICU) and to estimate the effect of ADE on clinical cure on day 7 following treatment initiation., [Methods]: Adult ICU patients receiving empirical antimicrobial therapy for bacterial infection were studied in a prospective observational study from October 2016 until May 2018. ADE was defined as (1) discontinuation of an antimicrobial in case of empirical combination therapy or (2) replacement of an antimicrobial with the intention to narrow the antimicrobial spectrum, within the first 3 days of therapy. Inverse probability (IP) weighting was used to account for time-varying confounding when estimating the effect of ADE on clinical cure., [Results]: Overall, 1495 patients from 152 ICUs in 28 countries were studied. Combination therapy was prescribed in 50%, and carbapenems were prescribed in 26% of patients. Empirical therapy underwent ADE, no change and change other than ADE within the first 3 days in 16%, 63% and 22%, respectively. Unadjusted mortality at day 28 was 15.8% in the ADE cohort and 19.4% in patients with no change [p = 0.27; RR 0.83 (95% CI 0.60–1.14)]. The IP-weighted relative risk estimate for clinical cure comparing ADE with no-ADE patients (no change or change other than ADE) was 1.37 (95% CI 1.14–1.64)., [Conclusion]: ADE was infrequently applied in critically ill-infected patients. The observational effect estimate on clinical cure suggested no deleterious impact of ADE compared to no-ADE. However, residual confounding is likely.

Abstract

Background and Purpose— The TST trial (Treat Stroke to Target) evaluated the benefit of targeting a LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol of 4 mm, in a French and Korean population. The follow-up lasted a median of 5.3 years in French patients (similar to the median follow-up time in the SPARCL trial [Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Level]) and 2.0 years in Korean patients. Exposure duration to statin is a well-known driver for cardiovascular risk reduction. We report here the TST results in the French cohort. Methods— One thousand seventy-three French patients were assigned to Results— After a median follow-up of 5.3 years, the achieved LDL cholesterol was 66 (1.69 mmol/L) and 96 mg/dL (2.46 mmol/L) on average, respectively. The primary end point occurred in 9.6% and 12.9% of patients, respectively (HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.57–0.94]; P =0.019). Cerebral infarction or urgent carotid revascularization following transient ischemic attack was reduced by 27% ( P =0.046). Cerebral infarction or intracranial hemorrhage was reduced by 28% ( P =0.023). The primary outcome or intracranial hemorrhage was reduced by 25% ( P =0.021). Intracranial hemorrhages occurred in 13 and 11 patients, respectively (HR, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.53–2.62]; P =0.70). Conclusions— After an ischemic stroke of documented atherosclerotic origin, targeting a LDL cholesterol of Registration— URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT01252875.

Abstract

Objective The aim of this study is the investigation of early-life EEG background abnormalities or “dysmature” traits in infants with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and their capacity to predict autism spectrum disorder or neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods EEG data were prospectively collected from TSC patients during the EPISTOP trial (NCT02098759). Subjects were younger than 4 months, and ASD risk and neurodevelopmental outcome were assessed at the age of 2 years. The EEG at the first visit was analyzed by means of Multiscale Entropy (MSE), multifractality (MFA), amplitude integrated EEG features and topological indices of the EEG network. These features were associated with both ASD and abnormal Bayley outcome of the infants using linear discriminant analysis. Results The classification of the ASD patients shows that MFA and MSE had the best discrimination performances, with an area under the ROC curve AUC (MFA) = 0.74 and AUC(MSE) = 0.79 respectively, and kappa scores of Kappa(MFA) = 0.48 and Kappa(MSE) = 0.26. Concerning both abnormal Bayley outcome and ASD, the developmental abnormalities detection shows that entropy and fractal features outperform the other subsets of attributes and the multiclass analysis shows that those features can also discriminate patients with ASD from patients with only developmental abnormalities (Kappa(MFA) = 0.41 and Kappa(MSE) = 0.36). Conclusion Quantitative EEG analysis shows that a dysmature EEG, i.e. a signal with higher fractal regularity and lower entropy, is associated with autism spectrum disorder or abnormal Bayley outcome at 2 years of age.

This case demonstrates a rare presentation of a 13 year old boy who attended a rural Emergency Department with severe epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. On arrival he was hypertensive and clinical examination found him to have tenderness most pronounced in the right iliac fossa leading to presumed diagnosis of appendicitis. However, upon surgical review it was felt his clinical examination and symptoms were inconsistent with those typically found in acute appendicitis. Ultrasound and abdominal x-ray were performed which did not clearly identify a cause for the patient's presentation however formal reports were not readily obtainable as this occurred after hours at our rural facility. Due to his clinical appearance and a significantly raised white cell count the decision was made to perform a diagnostic laparoscopy as it was evident he had a serious intra-abdominal pathology. Intra-operatively we determined the patient to have ischaemic bowel secondary to intussusception. Following resection of the affected bowel we identified an inverted Meckel's diverticulum to have been the lead point. This case is of clinical significance due to its unclear initial presentation as well as the patient being beyond the normal age range for both intussusception and symptomatic Meckel's Diverticulum.

Abstract

Hammertoe deformation is a frequent motive for consultation in forefoot surgery, and proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis is a classic treatment for fixed deformation, which tends to be achieved more and more thanks to specific implants. This work evaluated and compared clinical improvement, radiologic fusion, and complication rates between dynamic (Difuse®) and static (TinyFix®) implants from Biotech Ortho. A total of 95 patients (110 feet and 166 toes; 97 static and 69 dynamic implants) were included. Mean age was 63.6 (±12.6) years in the dynamic group and 62.3 (±14.01) years in the static group. Epidemiologic and intraoperative radiologic data were collected. Pain, toes deformity, complications, and radiologic findings (bone fusion and osteolysis) were recorded at 4 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up. Mean follow-up was 11.5 (range 4 to 28) months, and the position of the implants was more often satisfying in the dynamic group (p = .01). Fusion rates at 4 months were 67% and 80% in the dynamic and static groups, respectively (p = .05). Radiologic osteolysis occurred more frequently in the dynamic group (p = .05 at 4 months), and pain was still present in 3% in the dynamic group at the last follow-up compared with 7% in the static group. Complication rate was 7% in the dynamic group (implant fractures) and 4% in the static group. Revision was considered more often in the dynamic group (p = .01). The static titanium implant seems superior to the dynamic memory shape implant in Nitinol alloy with regard to fusion (p = .04), complications (p = .03), and revision rates (p = .01). The literature review seems to support the good results of static implants compared with the rest of the available arthrodesis implant solutions.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Methylisothiazolinone (MI) is a preservative that is responsible for an epidemic of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Few studies have been published on the prognosis of patients with MI-induced ACD. OBJECTIVES To evaluate relapses of MI-induced ACD and difficulties in avoiding MI in patients who had received avoidance advice. METHODS A retrospective study of patients with MI-induced ACD diagnosed in two specialized dermato-allergology units between 2010 and 2015 was performed. The median follow-up was 3 years. RESULTS Relapses were observed in 64% of 139 included patients, and were severe in 18%. Rinse-off cosmetics were responsible for the largest proportion of relapses (27%). The median time to relapse was 5 months. Sixty-nine per cent of relapses were on the hands, and 29% were on the face. Risk factors for relapsing were hand eczema and a personal history of atopy. The main difficulties encountered in the avoidance strategy were hidden sources of MI, the lack of labelling on industrial products, the complexity of cosmetic labelling, and remembering the name of the allergen. CONCLUSION MI-induced ACD has a poor prognosis. Its high rate of relapse is mainly attributable to the difficulties of avoidance. Management needs to be improved. Specialized follow-up in the year following diagnosis is essential to educate patients.

Abstract

Objective: sCD14 (soluble CD14) is a circulating pattern recognition receptor involved in inflammatory signaling. Although it is known that sCD14 levels vary by race, information on the genetic and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk relationships of sCD14 in Black participants is limited. Approach and Results: We measured sCD14 in plasma at the baseline exam from n=3492 Black participants from the JHS (Jackson Heart Study). We evaluated associations between sCD14 and subclinical CVD measures, incident CVD events, and mortality under 3 levels of covariate adjustment. We used whole-genome sequence data from the Trans-Omics for Personalized Medicine program to identify genetic associations with sCD14. Adjusting for CVD risk factors and C-reactive protein, higher sCD14 was significantly associated with increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.17–1.32]), incident coronary heart disease (hazard ratio, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.11–1.47]), and incident heart failure (hazard ratio, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.15–1.41]), but not stroke (hazard ratio, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.84–1.09]). Some of these relationships differed by age or sex: the association between sCD14 and heart failure was only observed in females; there was an association between sCD14 and stroke only at younger ages (in the lowest tertile of age, CD14 region of chromosome 5q31. We additionally identified 2 novel statistically distinct genetic associations with sCD14 represented by index variants rs770147646 and rs57599368, also in the chromosome 5q31 region. Conclusions: sCD14 independently predicts CVD-related outcomes and mortality in Black participants.

Abstract

Objective In people with low‐grade intrinsic brain tumors, an epileptic focus is often located close to the lesion. High‐frequency oscillations (HFOs) in electrocorticography (ECoG) might help to delineate this focus. We investigated the relationship between HFOs and low‐grade brain tumors and their potential value for tumor‐related epilepsy surgery. Methods We analyzed pre‐ and postresection intraoperative ECoG in 41 patients with refractory epilepsy and a low‐grade lesion. Electrodes were designated as overlying the tumor, adjacent resected tissue (peritumoral), or outside the resection bed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative photographs. We then used a semiautomated approach to detect HFOs as either ripples (80–250 Hz) or fast ripples (250–500 Hz). Results The rate of fast ripples was higher in electrodes covering tumor and peritumoral tissue than outside the resection (p = .04). Mesiotemporal tumors showed more ripples (p = .002), but not more fast ripples (p = .07), than superficial tumors. Rates of fast ripples were higher in glioma and extraventricular neurocytoma than in ganglioglioma or dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET). The rate of ripples and fast ripples in postresection ECoG was not higher in patients with residual tumor tissue on MRI than those without. The rate of ripples in postresection ECoG was higher in patients with good than bad seizure outcome (p = .03). Fast ripples outside the resection and in post‐ECoG seem related to seizure recurrence. Significance Fast ripples in intraoperative ECoG can be used to help guide resection in tumor‐related epilepsy surgery. Preresection fast ripples occur predominantly in epileptogenic tumor and peritumoral tissue. Fast ripple rates are higher in glioma and extraventricular neurocytoma than in ganglioglioma and DNET.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the association between timing and characteristics of the first electroencephalography (EEG) with epileptiform discharges (ED-EEG) and epilepsy and neurodevelopment at 24 months in infants with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). METHODS: Patients enrolled in the prospective Epileptogenesis in a genetic model of epilepsy - Tuberous sclerosis complex (EPISTOP) trial, had serial EEG monitoring until the age of 24 months. The timing and characteristics of the first ED-EEG were studied in relation to clinical outcome. Epilepsy-related outcomes were analyzed separately in a conventionally followed group (initiation of vigabatrin after seizure onset) and a preventive group (initiation of vigabatrin before seizures, but after appearance of interictal epileptiform discharges [IEDs]). RESULTS: Eighty-three infants with TSC were enrolled at a median age of 28 days (interquartile range [IQR] 14-54). Seventy-nine of 83 patients (95%) developed epileptiform discharges at a median age of 77 days (IQR 23-111). Patients with a pathogenic TSC2 variant were significantly younger (P-value .009) at first ED-EEG and more frequently had multifocal IED (P-value .042) than patients with a pathogenic TSC1 variant. A younger age at first ED-EEG was significantly associated with lower cognitive (P-value .010), language (P-value .001), and motor (P-value .013) developmental quotients at 24 months. In the conventional group, 48 of 60 developed seizures. In this group, the presence of focal slowing on the first ED-EEG was predictive of earlier seizure onset (P-value .030). Earlier recording of epileptiform discharges (P-value .019), especially when multifocal (P-value .026) was associated with higher risk of drug-resistant epilepsy. In the preventive group, timing, distribution of IED, or focal slowing, was not associated with the epilepsy outcomes. However, when multifocal IEDs were present on the first ED-EEG, preventive treatment delayed the onset of seizures significantly (P-value

STUDY QUESTIONCould the anogenital distance (AGD) as assessed by MRI (MRI-AGD) be a diagnostic tool for endometriosis?SUMMARY ANSWERA short MRI-AGD is a strong diagnostic marker of endometriosis.WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADYA short clinically assessed AGD (C-AGD) is associated with the presence of endometriosis.STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATIONThis study is a re-analysis of previously published data from a case–control study.PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODSWomen undergoing pelvic surgery from January 2018 to June 2019 and who had a preoperative pelvic MRI were included. C-AGD was measured at the beginning of the surgery by a different operator who was unaware of the endometriosis status. MRI-AGD was measured retrospectively by a senior radiologist who was blinded to the final diagnosis. Two measurements were made: from the posterior wall of the clitoris to the anterior edge of the anal canal (MRI-AGD-AC), and from the posterior wall of the vagina to the anterior edge of the anal canal (MRI-AGD-AF).MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCEThe study compared MRI-AGD of 67 women with endometriosis to 31 without endometriosis (controls). Average MRI-AGD-AF measurements were 13.3 mm (±3.9) and 21.2 mm (±5.4) in the endometriosis and non-endometriosis groups, respectively (P LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTIONThis was a retrospective analysis and no adolescents had been included.WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGSThis study is consistent with previous works associating a short C-AGD with endometriosis and the absence of correlation with the disease phenotype. MRI-AGD is more accurate than C-AGD in this setting and could be evaluated in the MRI examination of patients with suspected endometriosis.STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S)N/A.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERThe protocol was approved by the ‘Groupe Nantais d’Ethique dans le Domaine de la Santé’ and registered under reference 02651077.

Abstract

Introduction The prevalence of pregnancy-associated breast cancer is increasing. HER2-positive breast cancers typically have a poor prognosis. The objective of our study was to compare the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy (HER2-positive BCP) to young women diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer outside of pregnancy (HER2 non-BCP). Methods Data of patients managed for invasive breast carcinoma between January 2005 and 2020 were retrospectively collected from the database of Tenon University Hospital (Paris, France), part of the “Cancer lié à la Grossesse” network. Results Fifty-one patients with HER2-positive BCP were matched on age at diagnosis with 51 HER2-positive non-BCP patients. Locally advanced disease with axillary lymph node involvement were frequent. Tumors were frequently aggressive with high grade (p = 0.57) and high Ki67 (p = 0.15). Among the HER2-positive BCP patients, the mean term at diagnosis was 19.3 week of gestation (WG). Eighty-four percent of the patients continued their pregnancy with a mean term at delivery of 34.2WG. Chemotherapy modalities differed between the two groups: neoadjuvant chemotherapy was more frequent in the HER2-positive BCP group (p = 0.03) and adjuvant chemotherapy more frequent in the HER2 non-BCP group (p = 0.009). The recurrence rate was 10% (n = 5) and 18% (n = 9) in the HER2-positive BCP and HER2 non-BCP groups, respectively, p = 0.25. Breast cancer-free survival was poorer in the HER2-positive BCP group with earlier recurrence, p = 0.008. No difference in type of recurrence was found between the groups (p = 0.58). Conclusion This matched case-control study implies that patients with HER2-positive BCP still have a poorer prognosis than non-pregnant HER-positive patients., Highlights • Trastuzumab improved survival in HER2-positive patients with early, locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer. • Administration of trastuzumab is contraindicated during pregnancy. • Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer during pregnancy have a poorer prognosis than non-pregnant HER-positive patients. • The prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer is not related to the term of diagnosis.

International audience; Introduction: Surgical management of deep endometriosis with colorectal involvement remains an option after failure of medical treatments. Conventional laparoscopy is currently considered the standard approach for surgical treatment. Recently, assisted-robotic laparoscopy emerged as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy but with low evidence.Methods: From March 2019 to September 2019, we conducted a prospective cohort study of 48 patients undergoing a surgical treatment for colorectal endometriosis (rectal shaving, discoid excision or segmental resection). The interventions were either performed by robotic or conventional laparoscopy. Patients' characteristics, operative and post-operative data were compared between the robotic and the conventional laparoscopic group.Results: 48 patients were included, 25 in the conventional laparoscopy group and 23 in the robotic group. Patients' characteristics and operative findings were similar between the two groups, except for a trend in a higher incidence of associated surgical urinary or digestive procedures in the robotic group (p = 0.06). The mean total surgical room occupancy time and operating time were longer in the in the robotic group (281 ± 97 min vs 208 ± 85 min; p = 0.008) and (221 ± 94 min vs 163 ± 83 min (p = 0.03), respectively. The mean intra operative blood loss, the incidence of intra operative, post-operative complication (according to Clavien-Dindo classification) rates and voiding dysfunction were similar in the two groups. The rate of grade III complication was higher in the robotic group (13 % vs 0%) without reaching a significance (p = 0.17). The mean hospital stay was 8 ± 4.4 days in the robotic group and 6.5 ± 2.6 days in the conventional laparoscopy group (p = 0.18).Conclusion: Despite our initial experience in robotic surgery, our results support that robotic surgery is an adequate alternative to conventional laparoscopy for endometriosis colorectal resection.

Abstract

Searching through brain slices at the Montreal Neurological Institute in the 1950s, Dr. Theodore Rasmussen noted signs of chronic inflammation in resected cortical specimens from pediatric patients with epilepsia partialis pars continua (Rasmussen et al. Neurology 8:435–445, 1958). This disease, which has come to bear his name, is characterized by progressive cortical sclerosis of one hemisphere that typically begins with a perisylvian volume loss and relatively spares the occipital lobe until late in the disease process (Varadkar et al. Lancet Neurol 13:195–205, 2014). Standard therapy is directed at the acute inflammatory component of Rasmussen’s syndrome, and treatment involves steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin and, less commonly, plasmapheresis or tacrolimus, though these treatments do not prevent progression to permanent disability (Varadkar et al. Lancet Neurol 13:195–205, 2014; Hart et al. Neurology 44:1030–1030, 1994; Takahashi et al. Brain Dev 35:778–785, 2013). As the disease progresses with further unilateral weakness, vision loss, and cognitive deficits, the contralateral hemisphere progressively supports some of the lost function. Since medication-refractory seizures typically become persistent to the degree that activities of daily life are impossible, hemispherotomy to remove the affected hemisphere becomes the sole therapeutic option (Varadkar et al. Lancet Neurol 13:195–205, 2014; Bien et al. Brain 128:454–471, 2005). However, there are patients for whom a hemispherotomy is not possible due to residual essential function in the affected hemisphere.

Abstract

Background: Optimising treatments for patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is key to reducing the burden of this severe illness. The anti-glucocorticoid medication metyrapone has mixed evidence supporting a role as a possible augmentation treatment in TRD. The degree of treatment resistance in depression has been associated prospectively and retrospectively with elevated inflammation, and inflammatory activity may influence responses to antidepressant treatments. Aims: To investigate whether levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are associated with clinical outcomes to metyrapone or placebo. Methods: A double-blind RCT randomised patients with TRD to 3 weeks of placebo or metyrapone augmentation to ongoing serotonergic antidepressants. No benefit of metyrapone was reported in the primary analysis. The current study assessed levels of pro-inflammatory proteins interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor (TNFα), c-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) before randomisation and after treatment as potential moderators and/or mediators of clinical outcomes. Results: The three pro-inflammatory proteins (but not IL-10) were elevated in this sample of patients with TRD compared to a non-affected control group. High pre-treatment IL-6 levels predicted a poorer response in the trial overall but did not moderate response to metyrapone versus placebo. Changes in IL-6 indirectly mediated depression outcome, with metyrapone increasing IL-6 levels and IL-6 increase associated with a poorer outcome on depression. Other inflammatory proteins did not mediate or moderate treatment outcomes. Interpretation: Metyrapone is hypothesised to have a therapeutic effect in depression on the basis of inhibiting the synthesis of cortisol. In this study, metyrapone did not reduce cortisol, possibly due to glucocorticoid system overcompensation). The mediation effect of IL-6 may support this and perhaps help to indicate why the treatment was not effective.

Abstract

Background Cangrelor, an intravenous, reversible P2Y12 antagonist, is approved for use in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Objectives This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cangrelor compared with clopidogrel in subgroups that did and did not receive glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs). Methods This pooled, patient-level analysis of the 3 CHAMPION (Cangrelor versus Standard Therapy to Achieve Optimal Management of Platelet Inhibition) trials analyzed all randomized patients who underwent PCI and received the study drug (n = 24,902). Only bailout/rescue GPI use was permitted, except in CHAMPION PCI, in which routine or bailout/rescue GPI use was at the site investigator’s discretion. The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, or stent thrombosis at 48 h after randomization. Results Overall, 3,173 patients (12.7%) received a GPI, most commonly eptifibatide (69.4%). Despite variation in indications for GPIs, baseline characteristics were well balanced between the cangrelor and clopidogrel arms in subsets receiving and not receiving GPIs. Rates of the primary composite endpoint were lower with cangrelor compared with clopidogrel in patients who did (4.9% vs. 6.5%; odds ratio [OR]: 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.55 to 1.01) or did not receive a GPI (3.6% vs. 4.4%; OR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.72 to 0.94; Pint = 0.55). Cangrelor did not increase the primary safety endpoint, GUSTO-defined severe/life-threatening bleeding, in patients who did (0.4% vs. 0.5%; OR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.25 to 1.99) or did not receive GPIs (0.2% vs. 0.1%; OR: 1.56; 95% CI: 0.80 to 3.04; Pint = 0.21). GPI use was associated with increased risk of bleeding in both treatment arms. Conclusions Cangrelor’s efficacy in reducing ischemic complications in patients undergoing PCI was maintained irrespective of GPI administration. GPI use was associated with substantially higher bleeding rates, regardless of the randomization to cangrelor or clopidogrel.

Abstract

Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based 12-week Tai Chi course designed to improve balance and physical function in a population of older veterans. Methods Community dwelling veterans of all ages with gait and balance problems were invited to participate in the Tai Chi program. Participants completed the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) at baseline and again at the end of the program. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize study participants' characteristics. The change from baseline to the end of the 12-week program was calculated for each of the three primary outcome variables (BBS, TUG, FES-I). Results Twenty-two veterans, aged 58 years and above, with perceived gait and/or balance issues were enrolled in the program with completion by 11 veterans. Veterans who completed their final assessments showed the BBS, improved significantly (p = 0.004) from baseline to the 12-week assessment. The TUG scores improved by a median of 1.3 s (p = 0.022). There was not a significant change in the FES-I. Conclusions Preliminary findings provide evidence of the effectiveness of a 12-week Tai Chi program to improve functional outcomes for older veterans with mild to moderate gait and balance problems.

Abstract

Background The management of endometriosis-related infertility is still under debate. The Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) score is performant to predict the occurrence of a spontaneous pregnancy following surgery, but was not evaluated in a cost-effectiveness perspective. Our objective was to quantify fertility outcomes, and costs of different care pathways for endometriosis-associated infertility after primary surgery, with a stratification on the EFI score. Study design We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis based on a decision-tree model in a Tertiary-care university hospital. Extracted form a prospectively maintained database, 608 patients with endometriosis-associated infertility, who underwent laparoscopic treatment with an evaluation of the EFI score, were discriminated between different strategies: natural conception, immediate IVF-ICSI, delayed IVF-ICSI. The pregnancy rate and the live birth rate were the effectiveness outcomes. We considered direct and indirect costs in each strategies. The analysis was stratified according to the EFI score. Results After surgery, 163 women with immediate IVF-ICSI (strategy I) were compared with 445 women who had natural conception attempts during a year (strategy II). After a year failure of natural conception attempts, 133 women continuing natural conception attempts (strategy III) were compared with 168 women who had delayed IVF-ICSI (strategy IV). The respective PR and LBR were 62.6 % and 52.1 % for strategy I, and 32.4 % and 23.8 % for strategy II. Compared to strategy II, strategy I was more costly and more effective (Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio (ICER): 31,469 €/pregnancy and 33,568 €/live birth)). No added benefit was observed for patients in strategy I with an EFI score [0−3] after two IVF-ICSI cycles. Strategy III was strongly dominant versus strategy IV for patients with an EFI score [9–10]. Compared to strategy III, strategy VI was more costly and more effective (ICER: 79,674 €/pregnancy, 53,188 €/pregnancy and 27,748 €/pregnancy respectively for patients with an EFI score [7–8], [4–6] and [0−3]). Conclusion Immediate IVF-ICSI after surgery is effective but associated with substantial costs for the healthcare system. Taking into account healthcare costs, the EFI is a useful score for helping a couple decide between different care pathways –natural conception, immediate or delayed IVF-ICSI– after surgery for endometriosis-associated infertility.

Abstract

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a multisystem genetic disorder with a high risk of early-onset epilepsy and a high prevalence of neurodevelopmental comorbidities, including intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Therefore, TSC is an interesting disease model to investigate early biomarkers of neurodevelopmental comorbidities when interventions are favourable. We investigated whether early EEG characteristics can be used to predict neurodevelopment in infants with TSC. The first recorded EEG of 64 infants with TSC, enrolled in the international prospective EPISTOP trial (recorded at a median gestational age 42 4/7 weeks) was first visually assessed. EEG characteristics were correlated with ASD risk based on the ADOS-2 score, and cognitive, language, and motor developmental quotients (Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III) at the age of 24 months. Quantitative EEG analysis was used to validate the relationship between EEG background abnormalities and ASD risk. An abnormal first EEG (OR = 4.1, p-value = 0.027) and more specifically a dysmature EEG background (OR = 4.6, p-value = 0.017) was associated with a higher probability of ASD traits at the age of 24 months. This association between an early abnormal EEG and ASD risk remained significant in a multivariable model, adjusting for mutation and treatment (adjusted OR = 4.2, p-value = 0.029). A dysmature EEG background was also associated with lower cognitive (p-value = 0.029), language (p-value = 0.001), and motor (p-value = 0.017) developmental quotients at the age of 24 months. Our findings suggest that early EEG characteristics in newborns and infants with TSC can be used to predict neurodevelopmental comorbidities. ispartof: Frontiers In Neurology vol:11 ispartof: location:Switzerland status: published

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate three-dimensional (3D) T2 MRI before and after vaginal opacification (VO) by gel (3DT2VO) and the additional value of 3DT1 with fat-suppression (3DT1FS) MRI in the diagnosis of vaginal endometriosis.Methods: In this study conducted from 2010 to 2013, 51 patients scheduled for surgical treatment of endometriosis underwent MRI 1 day before surgery. Three readers (novice, intermediate, expert) were asked to retrospectively diagnose vaginal endometriosis independently and blindly using four different readings (i.e., 3DT2, 3DT2VO, 3DT2 with 3DT1FS, 3DT2VO with 3DT1FS). Vaginal endometriosis diagnosis was positive on observation of a thickening of vaginal walls on 3DT2 with or without high-signal-intensity spots on 3DT2 and/or 3DT1FS. The reference standard was surgery and histology. Descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, and ROC curves were used for statistical analysis.Results: For all readers, the combination of 3DT2 and 3DT1FS significantly improved the diagnosis of vaginal endometriosis compared with 3DT2 (p = 0.002, p = 0.02, and p = 0.003). 3DT2VO significantly improved diagnosis for the intermediate reader (p = 0.01). High-signal-intensity spots on 3DT1FS had a sensitivity of 50–63.6%, specificity of 86.2–96.6%, and high positive likelihood ratios (14.5-Inf).Conclusion: 3DT2 in association with 3DT1FS appears to be the best 3D MRI protocol for the diagnosis of vaginal endometriosis, whatever the level of experience of readers. The additional value of 3DT2VO is variable among the readers.

Abstract

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular tumor in adults. Despite effective local treatments, 50% of patients develop metastasis. Better ways to determine prognosis are needed as well as new therapeutic targets. Epigenetic changes are important events driving cancer progression, however, few studies exist on methylation changes in UM. Our aim was to identify methylation events associated with UM prognosis. Matched clinical, genetic, and methylation data for 80 UM cases were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Top differentially methylated loci were sorted through hierarchical clustering based on methylation patterns, and these patterns were compared to tumor characteristics, genomic aberrations, and patient outcome. Hierarchical clustering revealed two distinct groups. These classifications effectively separated high and low-risk cases, with significant differences between groups in patient survival (p &lt, 0.0001) and correlation with known prognostic factors. Major differences in methylation of specific genes, notably NFIA, HDAC4, and IL12RB2, were also seen. The methylation patterns identified in this study indicate potential novel prognostic indicators of UM and highlight the power of methylation changes in predicting outcome. The methylation events enriched in the high-risk group suggest that epigenetic modulating drugs may be useful in reducing metastatic potential, and that specific differentially methylated loci could act as biomarkers of therapeutic response.

Abstract

Importance: Evidence regarding corticosteroid use for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is limited.Objective: To determine whether hydrocortisone improves outcome for patients with severe COVID-19.Design, Setting, and Participants: An ongoing adaptive platform trial testing multiple interventions within multiple therapeutic domains, for example, antiviral agents, corticosteroids, or immunoglobulin. Between March 9 and June 17, 2020, 614 adult patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled and randomized within at least 1 domain following admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) for respiratory or cardiovascular organ support at 121 sites in 8 countries. Of these, 403 were randomized to open-label interventions within the corticosteroid domain. The domain was halted after results from another trial were released. Follow-up ended August 12, 2020.Interventions: The corticosteroid domain randomized participants to a fixed 7-day course of intravenous hydrocortisone (50 mg or 100 mg every 6 hours) (n = 143), a shock-dependent course (50 mg every 6 hours when shock was clinically evident) (n = 152), or no hydrocortisone (n = 108).Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary end point was organ support-free days (days alive and free of ICU-based respiratory or cardiovascular support) within 21 days, where patients who died were assigned -1 day. The primary analysis was a bayesian cumulative logistic model that included all patients enrolled with severe COVID-19, adjusting for age, sex, site, region, time, assignment to interventions within other domains, and domain and intervention eligibility. Superiority was defined as the posterior probability of an odds ratio greater than 1 (threshold for trial conclusion of superiority >99%).Results: After excluding 19 participants who withdrew consent, there were 384 patients (mean age, 60 years; 29% female) randomized to the fixed-dose (n = 137), shock-dependent (n = 146), and no (n = 101) hydrocortisone groups; 379 (99%) completed the study and were included in the analysis. The mean age for the 3 groups ranged between 59.5 and 60.4 years; most patients were male (range, 70.6%-71.5%); mean body mass index ranged between 29.7 and 30.9; and patients receiving mechanical ventilation ranged between 50.0% and 63.5%. For the fixed-dose, shock-dependent, and no hydrocortisone groups, respectively, the median organ support-free days were 0 (IQR, -1 to 15), 0 (IQR, -1 to 13), and 0 (-1 to 11) days (composed of 30%, 26%, and 33% mortality rates and 11.5, 9.5, and 6 median organ support-free days among survivors). The median adjusted odds ratio and bayesian probability of superiority were 1.43 (95% credible interval, 0.91-2.27) and 93% for fixed-dose hydrocortisone, respectively, and were 1.22 (95% credible interval, 0.76-1.94) and 80% for shock-dependent hydrocortisone compared with no hydrocortisone. Serious adverse events were reported in 4 (3%), 5 (3%), and 1 (1%) patients in the fixed-dose, shock-dependent, and no hydrocortisone groups, respectively.Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients with severe COVID-19, treatment with a 7-day fixed-dose course of hydrocortisone or shock-dependent dosing of hydrocortisone, compared with no hydrocortisone, resulted in 93% and 80% probabilities of superiority with regard to the odds of improvement in organ support-free days within 21 days. However, the trial was stopped early and no treatment strategy met prespecified criteria for statistical superiority, precluding definitive conclusions.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02735707.
