Abstract

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physiological marker of training adaptation among athletes. However, HRV interpretation is challenging when assessed in isolation due to its sensitivity to various training and non-training-related factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between athlete-self report measures of recovery (ASRM) and HRV throughout a preparatory training period. Ultra-short natural logarithm of the root mean square of successive differences (LnRMSSD) and subjective ratings of sleep quality, fatigue, muscle soreness, stress and mood were acquired daily for 4 weeks among Division-1 sprint-swimmers (n = 17 males). ASRM were converted to z-scores and classified as average (z-score −0.5–0.5), better than average (z-score > 0.5) or worse than average (z-score < −0.5). Linear mixed models were used to evaluate differences in LnRMSSD based on ASRM classifications. LnRMSSD was higher (p < 0.05) when perceived sleep quality, fatigue, stress and mood were better than average versus worse than average. Within-subject correlations revealed that 15 of 17 subjects demonstrated at least one relationship (p < 0.05) between LnRMSSD and ASRM variables. Changes in HRV may be the result of non-training related factors and thus practitioners are encouraged to include subjective measures to facilitate targeted interventions to support training adaptations.

Abstract

The Gamma-Ray Astro-Imager with Nuclear Emulsion (GRAINE) project is aimed at the precise observation of astronomical gamma-ray sources in the energy range of 10 MeV–100 GeV using a balloon-borne telescope utilizing a nuclear emulsion, which can help realize precise imaging with high angular resolution (1.0○ at 100 MeV), polarization sensitivity, and large aperture area (10 m2). In 2018, the third balloon experiment was carried out as a demonstration of the detection of the brightest known astronomical gamma-ray source, the Vela pulsar, with an aperture area of 0.38 m2. In these data, some gamma rays were produced by the π0 → 2γ decay, which was caused by the hadronic interactions of cosmic rays in the detector. These could be used to calibrate the reconstructed angle, energy, and so on. In this study, we establish a method of searching for hadronic interactions and concomitant gamma rays with high statistics and purity. Our analysis indicates that the performance of our detector for gamma rays is as expected in wide incidence angle and energy ranges. We plan to commence scientific observations using the proposed system with the verified high angular resolution and largest aperture area in 2022 or later.

Abstract

Spin and photonic systems are at the heart of modern information devices and emerging quantum technologies. An interplay between electron-hole pairs (excitons) in semiconductors and collective spin excitations (magnons) in magnetic crystals would bridge these heterogeneous systems, leveraging their individual assets in novel interconnected devices. Here, we report the magnon-exciton coupling at the interface between a magnetic thin film and an atomically-thin semiconductor. Our approach allies the long-lived magnons hosted in a film of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) to strongly-bound excitons in a flake of a transition metal dichalcogenide, MoSe$_2$. The magnons induce on the excitons a dynamical valley Zeeman effect ruled by interfacial exchange interactions. This nascent class of hybrid system suggests new opportunities for information transduction between microwave and optical regions., 23 pages with 14 figures

Abstract

Introduction The identification of prognostic markers related to the occurrence of events and recovery of ventricular function may be important in patients with acute myopericarditis (AMP). There is still a lack of data related to tissue characterization by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) of AMP, evolution and definition of possible long-term prognostic markers. Purpose To evaluate the myocardial tissue characterization of CMR related to the occurrence of combined events (death from all causes, heart failure and AMP recurrence) and the increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with AMP. Methods Inclusion criteria were chest pain and/or electrocardiographic changes associated with elevated troponin (above the 99th percentile) in the absence of coronary stenosis and diagnosis of AMP by CMR 5%), 36 cases remained, recalled for a new CMR between 6 and 18 months from the initial event. Results Significant differences in CMR were found between patients who had combined events (n=26) versus no combined events (n=74) in the following characteristics evaluated: initial LVEF (OR=0.938; CI: 0.895–0.984, p=0.008), left ventricular (LV) systolic volume index (OR=1.034; CI: 1.005–1.062, p=0.019), LV diastolic volume index (OR=1.029; CI: 1.002–1.056, p=0.038), presence of hypersignal in T2 (OR=11.325; CI: 2.247–57.075, p=0.003), presence of late anteroseptal enhancement (OR=0.160; CI: 0.037–0.685, p=0.014), basal anteroseptal (OR=0.255; CI: 0.071–0.914, p=0.036) and lateral apical (OR=5.902; CI: 1.236–28.187, p=0.026). In relation to the increase in LVEF, significant differences were found in CMR in the following characteristics evaluated: LVEF (OR=0.870; CI: 0.758–0.988, p=0.047), end systolic volume of the right ventricle (OR=1.047; CI: 1.001–1.096, p=0.047), LV systolic diameter (OR=1.283; CI: 1.034–1.593, p=0.023), LV diastolic diameter (OR=1.225; CI: 1.012–1.482, p=0.038), LV systolic volume index (OR=1.340; CI: 1.066–1.685, p=0.012), LV diastolic volume index (OR=1.111; CI: 1.017–1.213, p=0.019) and right ventricular systolic volume index (OR=1.116; CI: 1.006–1.236, p=0.037). Conclusion We observed a significant association between combined events in the long-term follow-up with initial LVEF, LV systolic and diastolic volume indexes, T2 hypersignal and the presence of mid and basal anteroseptal and lateral apical late enhancement. Already related to the increase in LVEF in evolutionary CMR, we observed a significant association with initial LVEF, end systolic volume of the right ventricle, LV systolic and diastolic diameters, LV systolic and diastolic volume indexes and right ventricle systolic volume index.

Abstract

Background The secretion of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) by left ventricular (LV) myocytes increases even in patients with normal LV function. Currently, the cause of BNP increase in patients with stages A and B chronic heart failure remains unknown. Purpose To investigate the increase of BNP in early-stage, asymptomatic heart failure. Methods Consecutive patients (N=188; mean age: 68±11 years; body mass index: 23.0±3.9 kg/m2, female/male: 88/100) with heart failure (stages A and B), including non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), and LV ejection fraction >50% with estimated glomerular filtration rate >30% were recruited in this study. The echocardiographic parameters of LV systolic function (e.g., LV endo-diastolic/endo-systolic volume and ejection fraction) or diastolic markers (e.g., E/A ratio calculated from the trans mitral flow velocity and E/e' ratio), in addition to the data obtained from tissue Doppler images, were evaluated. LA volume was obtained from a three-dimensional heart model. Moreover, LV and left atrial (LA) global longitudinal strains were evaluated. The BNP levels measured within 1 month from echocardiographic examination were compared with the echocardiographic markers, in addition to an estimated glomerular filtration rate. Results BNP was elevated in patients with NVAF (NVAF, median: 63.0 pg/ml [quartile: 33.2–74.7 pg/ml]; non-NVAF, median: 25.6 pg/ml [quartile: 13.5–50.8 pg/ml]; p=0.0015) and patients with stage B heart failure (stage B, median: 41.7 pg/ml [quartile: 21.5–67.5 pg/ml]; stage A, median: 23.4 pg/ml [quartile: 11.7–39.0 pg/ml]; p=2.99E-05). The presence of hypertension and the sex of patients did not lead to significant differences in this population. The LA volume corrected by the body surface area was well correlated with the BNP value (r=0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44–0.64; p=4.42E-16) and age (r=0.51; 95% CI: 0.40–0.61; p=4.64E-14). LA global longitudinal strain (r=−0.42; 95% CI: −0.53 to −0.29; p=3.05E-09) and the velocity of interventricular septum during atrial contraction (r=−0.40; 95% CI: −0.51 to −0.27; p=1.84E-08) were also correlated with BNP elevation. However, the markers of diastolic and systolic function of LV were not correlated with BNP increase in patients with subclinical heart failure. Multivariate analysis revealed that LA volume (β: 0.991; 95% CI: 0.682–1.299; p=1.85E-09), stage B heart failure (β: 0.116; 95% CI: 0.016–0.216; p=0.023), age (β: 0.013; 95% CI: 0.008–0.018; p=6.414E-07), body mass index (β: −0.020; 95% CI: −0.033 to 0.007; p=0.002), and a decrease in the velocity of interventricular septum during atrial contraction (β: −0.048; 95% CI: −0.070 to −0.026; p=2.683E-05) contributed to the increase in BNP. Conclusion LA enlargement with no relation to diastolic function, age, and diminishment of interventricular motion caused by atrial contraction may be sensitive markers of BNP secretion in patients with subclinical stage, asymptomatic heart failure.

Abstract

Gorlin syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the PTCH1, PTCH2, and SUFU genes. Each symptom of the disease has a different time point of onset, which makes early diagnosis based solely on symptoms challenging. In this study, a gene panel was developed to overcome the challenges in the diagnosis of Gorlin syndrome and allow diagnosis using a single test. A custom panel was generated for four genes associated with Gorlin syndrome: PTCH1, PTCH2, SMO, and SUFU. Twenty-seven samples from 12 patients with Gorlin syndrome and three asymptomatic blood relatives of the patients were examined. This panel was highly reliable with a high Q30 quality score, on-target ratio, and coverage. The panel was time- and cost-efficient and enabled the detection of more mutations than whole-exome sequencing for the same patient. Pathogenic mutations in both PTCH1 and PTCH2 were detected in five of the 12 patients with Gorlin syndrome who were diagnosed based on clinical symptoms. Using this panel, the same mutation was identified in the patients and their blood relatives. In summary, this panel facilitated the highly reliable genetic diagnosis of Gorlin syndrome at a low cost, using only blood samples.

Abstract

The Pa α line (1875.13 nm) in the near-infrared (NIR) region was evaluated to apply Stark broadening of the line spectrum to the electron density measurement of the small-pellet ablation cloud in Heliotron J, a medium-sized helical-axis heliotron device. Pa α is three-to-four times broader than the visible H β line (486.13 nm) for the same electron density. Using a portable NIR spectrometer, preliminary proof-of-concept experiments determined the marginal density, below which the broadening was undetectable. The lower detection density limit can be decreased using a narrower entrance slit or a denser grating.

Abstract

Electrical-field-induced insulator-to-metal (I-to-M) transition of samarium monosulfides was investigated systematically. Experiment results demonstrate that Sm0.9Ca0.1S undergoes the I-to-M transition when in a small electric field of 250 V/cm at liquid-nitrogen temperatures. However, simultaneous measurement of I–V characteristics and strain did not detect the electrical-field-induced strain expected from the large volume contraction originating from the valence transition of Sm. Mid-infrared to visible region reflectivity spectroscopy in the field-induced transition revealed no spectral change other than the temperature change attributable to Joule heat. This lack of change contrasts to the large-scale spectrum changes, such as a sharp rise in reflectivity, which appear in the metallic phase induced by pressure or element substitution. The detailed analysis of the field-induced strain suggests that filamentary metallic paths are formed during the breakdown process, just as they are for strongly correlated insulators.

Abstract

Introduction Radical cystectomy (RC) is still gold standard for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Whereas, bladder-sparing therapy with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR) and chemoradiation therapy (CRT) has been recognized as an alternative treatment to RC for selected patients with MIBC. We have developed and implemented tetra-modality bladder-sparing therapy (TeMT) incorporating partial cystectomy (PC) in addition to maximal TUR and induction CRT to overcome local recurrence after bladder-sparing therapy (Kageyama et al. Am J Clin Oncol 2003, Koga et al. BJU Int 2012, Kijima et al. BJU Int 2019). There are few studies on erectile and ejaculatory functions after bladder-sparing therapy. Objective To cross-sectionally survey erectile and ejaculatory functions after TeMT in patients with MIBC. Methods Of the total 117 male patients with MIBC who completed TeMT between 2006 and 2019, 70 patients were set as the target to distribute the questionnaires after excluding patients lost to follow up as of February 2020, patients with local recurrence of MIBC or additional prostate cancer treatment. Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function short form (IIEF-5), and ejaculatory function using Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction short form (MSHQ-EjD-SF). Attending physicians handed the questionnaires to the patients at the first regular outpatient visit after February 2020 and had the patients complete them outside the office. Results Of 44 patients received the questionnaires between February and August 2020, 35 completed the questionnaires. The median age (range) of the eligible patients was 70 (50-87) years old, and the median time from the date of PC to the date of response was 5.2 (0.35-14) years. The results of IIEF-5 showed that 3 (9%) had no erectile dysfunction (ED) (22-25 points), 9 (26%) had mild ED (17-21 points), 4 (11%) had mild to moderate ED (12-16 points), 4 (11%) had moderate ED (8-11 points), and 15 (43%) had severe ED (5-7 points). Based on the results of MSHQ-EjD-SF, 23 patients (66%) responded that they could ejaculate. Of those, 5 patients (14%) scored 4 or higher on all questions 1-3 of MSHQ-EjD-SF, suggesting that they did not have ejaculatory dysfunction. Conclusions Preservation of erectile and ejaculatory functions was observed in MIBC patients treated with bladder-sparing therapy. Along with that of lower urinary tract function, preservation of male sexual function in bladder-sparing therapy, especially ejaculatory function which is inevitably lost by RC, is considered to be an advantage over RC.

Abstract

Introduction Hypertestosteroneemia can be caused by a variety of diseases and drugs, some of which can cause male infertility. We report a case of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SMBA) diagnosed by hypertestosteronemia during infertility treatment. Material & Methods The patient was a 28-year-old man. His wife had no cause of infertility, did not become pregnant after 10 cycles of timed-intercourse. His semen test pointed out insufficient semen volume and asthenozoospermia. Although varicocele surgery was performed at the neighboring general hospital, semen findings did not improve. Even though two cycles of intrauterine insemination (IUI) were performed, she did not become pregnant. The couple were introduced to our clinic in November 2019. Semen findings at the first visit were same as first time. Serum hormone levels were LH 12.0 mIU / mL, FSH 3.9 mIU / mL and total testosterone 19.47 ng / mL. The testicular volume was 13 ml on both sides. SHIM: 22 points, EHS: Grade 3; the erectile function was a slight decreased. Drug-induced hypertestosteroneemia was negative. Microscopic pituitary adenoma revealed at the general hospital, but no pituitary dysfunction. The examination was conducted at the local national hospital, and a high value of CK 621 IU / L was pointed out. SMBA was suspected and the patient visited the neurology department. Finally, he had an allele of 49 CAG repeats and SMBA was diagnosed with mild bulbar palsy, weakness of the extremities Results Even with 3 courses of IUI, she did not become pregnant and was scheduled for in vitro fertilization (IVF). At the same time as the start of IVF, the patient had a definitive diagnosis of SMBA and was scheduled for LHRH agonist treatment. Because LHRH agonists were predicted to exacerbate semen findings, we performed sperm freezing for the purpose of fertility preservation. In the initial treatment cycle of ovum pick-up, 11 oocytes were collected, and 7 mature oocytes were obtained. Five oocytes were fertilized by ICSI using frozen sperm, and four blastocysts were vitrified. After that, the second vitrified-warmed blastocyst transplantation led to pregnancy, and the pregnancy is currently ongoing. Discussion SMBA, also known as Kennedy's Disease, affects adult men aged 30-60 years. It is a slowly progressive neuromuscular disease that causes muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, and fasciculation due to degeneration of lower motor neurons. This is a genetic disorder of X-linked recessive inheritance. It is caused by a trinucleotide repeat expansion; >40 CAG repeats, in the androgen receptor gene located on the X chromosome. Patients are mildly desensitized to androgens, causing gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, and diminished fertility. It is also accompanied by mild hypertestosteroneemia. These findings must have been the same for this patient. Conclusion This report is the world's first report of fertility-preserving sperm freezing in SMBA patients using ejaculated sperm, and is also the first report of ICSI-induced pregnancy in frozen sperm in SMBA patients. The effectiveness of ART was suggested for SMBA patients. Disclosure Work supported by industry: no.

Abstract

Introduction Burn nurse/therapy staffing has been stretched for months by the pandemic. Along the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Ida recently taxed these resources further as regional burn centers saw a weeks-long surge in serious burn injuries in the setting of prolonged power and water outages. We reviewed the execution of a plan for the provision of burn nurse/therapist staffing at an ABA-verified adult burn center that experienced a direct hit by a Category 4 storm. Methods Hospital leadership planned to activate Code Gray on 8/29/21 at which time the hospital would be placed on lockdown with no one allowed in or out until Code Gray was lifted. Our burn leadership subsequently designed a plan to have ten burn nurses and one Occupational Therapist (TEAM A) in house from the inception of Code Gray at 7am on 8/29 thru 7am on 9/1. If Code Gray conditions persisted, nine dedicated burn nurses (TEAM B) were to relieve TEAM A. TEAM B was planned to remain in-house until 7am on 9/4. If Code Gray conditions continued, the plan was to be reassessed at that time. The same burn therapist was planned to remain in-house throughout. Physician coverage was to be provided by the in-house trauma team during Code Gray. No housing or bedding was provided for in-house personnel, and the hospital generator system ostensibly had a 30-day fuel supply. Results TEAM A day/night staffing was 6/4 with the off crew sleeping in conference rooms and clinic spaces. An unexpected event occurred when a mission-critical tower for the city’s grid toppled into a river resulting in delays for restoration of the grid, and city-wide boil-water and burn-ban policies. As generators came into widespread use, our pre-storm census of 9 increased to a mean of 12.7 + 1.4. Due to this increase, on the morning of 9/1 six TEAM A nurses elected to stay and be absorbed into Team B with day/night staffing of 6/6. The rapid influx in number and complexity of burn patients made it clear a burn surgeon presence was needed during Code Gray. One burn attending was able to make it to the hospital at 7am on 8/30 and worked until being relieved at 7am on 9/5. An informal triage strategy was enacted in which only burns of >10% TBSA would be considered for admission. OR availability went down to 2 + 1 at the inception of Code Gray and 3 + 1 on 9/6. Eleven cases were done during this time with a mean TBSA of 20.2 + 10.7%. Hospital generators were found to consume fuel at a rate almost twice predicted. Due to prioritization, the hospital went back on city power on 9/2. Code Gray was lifted at 7am on 9/4 and normal operations resumed at 7am on 9/11. Conclusions The successful provision of care required a willingness for nurses and one therapist to remain in the hospital for six consecutive days and for hospital administration to approve the overtime.

Abstract

We are developing a GRAINE project, 10 MeV -- 100 GeV cosmic $\gamma$-ray observations with a precise (0.08 degree @ 1 -- 2 GeV) and polarization sensitive large-aperture-area ($\sim$10 m$^2$) emulsion telescope repeated long duration balloon flights. We demonstrated a feasibility and performance of the balloon-borne emulsion $\gamma$-ray telescope experiment with various test experiments and developments on the ground and balloon-borne experiments in 2011 and 2015. In 2018, a balloon-borne experiment was performed with a 0.38 m$^2$ aperture area and 17.4 hour flight duration in Australia to demonstrate an overall performance of the telescope with a detection and imaging of a known $\gamma$-ray source, Vela pulsar. By the flight data analysis, we achieved a firm detection and highest imaging for the Vela pulsar and established the emulsion $\gamma$-ray telescope with a highest angular resolution in the $\gamma$-ray telescopes in the energy region. Based on the experiences and achievements, we aim to start scientific observations expanding an aperture area and flight duration repeated balloon flights. In 2023, we have a plan of two balloon-borne experiments in Australia by JAXA Scientific Ballooning with a 2.5 m$^2$ aperture area and a flight duration above 15 hours aiming, e.g., to observe Galactic Centre region with a highest imaging resolution. An overview and status of the GRAINE project, especially the latest results on the 2018 balloon-borne experiment and the prospects on the next/future scientific experiments are presented.

Abstract

The ALPACA experiment is a new air shower experiment mainly aiming to explore the southern sky in the VHE gamma-ray regime beyond 100 TeV. As the prototype experiment, ALPAQUITA will start in late 2021. It consists of a surface air shower array (18,450 ${\rm m}^2$) and an underground muon detector array (900 ${\rm m}^2$). In this study, the performance of ALPAQUITA including the sensitivity to gamma-ray point sources is investigated using a Monte Carlo simulation to quantitatively evaluate the possibility of detection of gamma-ray sources in the prototype phase. Corsika 7.6400 and Geant4 v10.04.p02 are used to simulate air shower development in the atmosphere and detector response, respectively. The output data are then processed and analyzed in the same way as the experiment. As a result, the study finds that the air shower array has an energy resolution of $\pm21\%$ and the angular resolution of $\simeq 0.2^{\circ}$ for gamma rays with an energy of 100 TeV. The detection area of the air shower array for gamma rays reaches $\simeq 12, 600 \, {\rm m}^2$ above $\simeq 10\, {\rm TeV}$. The muon detector rejects $\simeq 99.9\%$ of background cosmic rays and maintains $\simeq 80\%$ of signal gamma rays. This high discrimination power will enable the detection of five southern known gamma-ray sources beyond 30 TeV and the extension of the energy spectrum of one out of the five, HESS J1702-420A, up to $\simeq 300\, {\rm TeV}$ during one calendar year observation. This study concludes that ALPAQUITA will provide data enough to discuss a hot topic of VHE gamma-ray astronomy before passing the baton to ALPACA.

Abstract

Pustules with facial and/or neck edema is one characteristic feature of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS) at the early stage. Although several retrospective histopathologic studies on DIHS/DRESS have been reported, the detailed histopathologic findings of facial pustules for DIHS/DRESS are unavailable. We herein report a case of DIHS/DRESS with facial pustules that was histopathologically similar to eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF). Eosinophilic infiltration into expanded follicles and sebaceous glands, which is highly characteristic of EPF, was detected in pustules due to DIHS/DRESS in this case. There are numerous pathophysiological similarities between DIHS/DRESS and EPF, which may cause their histopathologic similarity. Our findings suggest that facial pustules of DIHS/DRESS may histopathologically mimic EPF.

Abstract

HESS J1843–033 is a very high energy gamma-ray source whose origin remains unidentified. This work presents, for the first time, the energy spectrum of gamma rays beyond 100 TeV from the HESS J1843–033 region using the data recorded by the Tibet air shower array and its underground muon detector array. A gamma-ray source with an extension of 0.°34 ± 0.°12 is successfully detected above 25 TeV at (α, δ) = (281.°09 ± 0.°10, −3.°76 ± 0.°09) near HESS J1843–033 with a statistical significance of 6.2σ, and the source is named TASG J1844–038. The position of TASG J1844–038 is consistent with those of HESS J1843–033, eHWC J1842–035, and LHAASO J1843–0338. The measured gamma-ray energy spectrum in 25 TeV < E < 130 TeV is described with dN / dE = ( 9.70 ± 1.89 ) × 10 − 16 (E/40 TeV)−3.26±0.30 TeV−1 cm−2 s−1, and the spectral fit to the combined spectra of HESS J1843–033, LHAASO J1843–0338, and TASG J1844–038 implies the existence of a cutoff at 49.5 ± 9.0 TeV. Associations of TASG J1844–038 with SNR G28.6–0.1 and PSR J1844–0346 are also discussed in detail for the first time.
