Abstract

The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD-Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) is a worldwide non-interventional study of stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF.52,080 patients with newly diagnosed AF were prospectively enrolled from 2010 to 2016. 4121 (7.9%) of these patients were recruited in DACH [Germany (n = 3567), Austria (n = 465) and Switzerland (n = 89) combined], and 47,959 patients were from 32 countries in other regions worldwide (ORW). Hypertension was most prevalent in DACH and ORW (85.3% and 75.6%, respectively). Diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, carotid occlusive disease and vascular disease were more prevalent in DACH patients vs ORW (27.6%, 49.4%, 5.8% and 29.0% vs 21.7%, 40.9%, 2.8% and 24.5%). The use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) increased more in DACH over time. Management of vitamin K antagonists was suboptimal in DACH and ORW (time in therapeutic range of INR ≥ 65% in 44.6% and 44.4% of patients or ≥ 70% in 36.9% and 36.0% of patients, respectively). Adjusted rates of cardiovascular mortality and MI/ACS were higher in DACH while non-haemorrhagic stroke/systemic embolism was lower after 2-year follow-up.Similarities and dissimilarities in AF management and clinical outcomes are seen in DACH and ORW. The increased use of NOAC was associated with a mismatch of risk-adapted anticoagulation (over-and-undertreatment) in DACH. Suboptimal control of INR requires educational activities in both regional groups. Higher rates of cardiovascular death in DACH may reflect the higher risk profile of these patients and lower rates of non-haemorrhagic stroke could be associated with increased NOAC use.

Abstract

In the last decades, several endangered breeds of livestock species have been re-established effectively. However, the successful revival of the Dutch and Danish Landrace goats involved crossing with exotic breeds and the ancestry of the current populations is therefore not clear. We have generated genotypes for 27 FAO-recommended microsatellites of these landraces and three phenotypically similar Nordic-type landraces and compared these breeds with central European, Mediterranean and south-west Asian goats. We found decreasing levels of genetic diversity with increasing distance from the south-west Asian domestication site with a south-east-to-north-west cline that is clearly steeper than the Mediterranean east-to-west cline. In terms of genetic diversity, the Dutch Landrace comes next to the isolated Icelandic breed, which has an extremely low diversity. The Norwegian coastal goat and the Finnish and Icelandic landraces are clearly related. It appears that by a combination of mixed origin and a population bottleneck, the Dutch and Danish Land-races are separated from the other breeds. However, the current Dutch and Danish populations with the multicoloured and long-horned appearance effectively substitute for the original breed, illustrating that for conservation of cultural heritage, the phenotype of a breed is more relevant than pure ancestry and the genetic diversity of the original breed. More in general, we propose that for conservation, the retention of genetic diversity of an original breed and of the visual phenotype by which the breed is recognized and defined needs to be considered separately.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of multiple daily injection (MDI) treatment replaced by Exenatide BID as compared with continuation of MDI. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 140 patients with type 2 diabetes, taking metformin and multiple daily insulin injections, were randomized to exenatide or insulin group that continued their insulin treatment. Patients were followed-up for 16 weeks. Blood glucose profiles, BMI, waist circumference, HbA1C, serum lipids and side effects were assesssed at weeks 0,12 and 16. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to baseline parameters. Glycemic control was similar between the two groups. The mean changes in HbA1C in exenatide group were -0.66±0.63% and in insulin group -0.74±0.92 % (p=0.594). In exenatide group, 59.6 % of patients and in insulin group 85.71 % of patients had maintained or improved glycemic control at the end of the study. In insulin group, insulin requirement increased 5.86 ± 4.46 units/day. Body weight and waist circumference decreased significantly in exenatide treatment group with respect to insulin group (p

Abstract

Genetic variations in chromosome Y are enabling researchers to identify paternal lineages, which are informative for introgressions and migrations. In this study, the male-specific region markers, sex-determining region-Y (SRY), amelogenin (AMELY) and zinc finger (ZFY) were analysed in seven Turkish native goat breeds, Angora, Kilis, Hair, Honamlı, Norduz, Gürcü and Abaza. A SNP in the ZFY gene defined a new haplotype Y2C. All domestic haplogroups originate from Capra aegagrus, while the finding of Y1A, Y1B, Y2A and Y2C in 32, 4, 126 and 2 Turkish domestic goats, respectively, appears to indicate a predomestic origin of the major haplotypes. The occurrence of four haplotypes in the Hair goat and, in contrast, a frequency of 96% of Y1A in the Kilis breed illustrate that Y-chromosomal variants have a more breed-dependent distribution than mitochondrial or autosomal DNA. This probably reflects male founder effects, but a role in adaptation cannot be excluded.

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to determine the polymorphism in the prolactine receptor (PRLR) gene in Chios, White Karaman and Awassi, which are native sheep breeds in Turkey. By means of PRLR gene sequence homology between sheep and humans, two primer pairs were designed for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification within intron 1 and exon 10 of the PRLR gene in sheep. A total of 160 amplicons (99 for intron 1 and 61 for exon 10) were subjected to DNA sequence analysis. For intron 1, 6 different haplotypes were determined. For exon 10, 7 different haplotypes were obtained. Some variations determined for exon 10 (g.14A>T p.Q14L; g.160G>A p.D160N; g.166G>A p.E166K; g.167A>T p.E167V; g.176A>T p.H176L; g.206G>A p.S206N; g.208G>A p.G208R) led to changes in the amino acids, but no amino acid changes were determined in g.2A>T, g.81A>G, g.138A>G, g.186C>T, g..207T>C. It was noted in particular that White Karaman and Awassi were similar to each other in both PRLR exon 10 and intron 1 haplotypes, whereas the Chios breed had a different variation.

Abstract

Background SNP data of goats of three Mediterranean countries were used for population studies and reconstruction of geographical patterning. 496 individuals belonging to Italian, Albanian and Greek breeds were genotyped to assess the basic population parameters. Results A total of 26 SNPs were used, for a total of 12,896 genotypes assayed. Statistical analysis revealed that breeds are not so similar in terms of genetic variability, as reported in studies performed using different markers. The Mantel test showed a strongly significant correlation between genetic and geographic distance. Also, PCA analysis revealed that breeds are grouped according to geographical origin, with the exception of the Greek Skopelos breed. Conclusion Our data point out that the use of SNP markers to analyze a wider breed sample could help in understanding the recent evolutionary history of domestic goats. We found correlation between genetic diversity and geographic distance. Also PCA analysis shows that the breeds are well differentiated, with good correspondence to geographical locations, thus confirming the correlation between geographical and genetic distances. This suggests that migration history of the species played a pivotal role in the present-day structure of the breeds and a scenario in which coastal routes were easier for migrating in comparison with inland routes. A westward coastal route to Italy through Greece could have led to gene flow along the Northern Mediterranean.

Abstract

International audience; We investigated the genetic variation in domestic goats (Capra hircus) and compared the geographic and genetic diversity in this species on a large scale (world-wide) and on a local scale (Italian Alps). A total of 392 domestic goats belonging to 16 populations from Turkey, Mongolia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Italy and Switzerland were analysed with 118 AFLP markers. A high correlation between genetic and geographic distance (r=0.75; Pless than or equal to 0.01) was observed on a worldwide scale. AFLP data were in contrast with mitochondrial DNA data that showed weak geographic structure in goats. We hypothesized that in the process of breed formation, local wild and domesticated males significantly contributed their genomes to the geographic partition and present characteristics of the local breeds.

Abstract

Objective. To evaluate the effect of multiple daily injection (MDI) treatment replaced by Exenatide BID as compared with continuation of MDI. Patients and Methods. A total of 140 patients with type 2 diabetes, taking metformin and multiple daily insulin injections, were randomized to exenatide or insulin group that continued their insulin treatment. Patients were followed-up for 16 weeks. Blood glucose profiles, BMI, waist circumference, HbA1C, serum lipids and side effects were assesssed at weeks 0,12 and 16. Results. There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to baseline parameters. Glycemic control was similar between the two groups. The mean changes in HbA1C in exenatide group were -0.66±0.63% and in insulin group -0.74±0.92 % (p=0.594). In exenatide group, 59.6 % of patients and in insulin group 85.71 % of patients had maintained or improved glycemic control at the end of the study. In insulin group, insulin requirement increased 5.86 ± 4.46 units/day. Body weight and waist circumference decreased significantly in exenatide treatment group with respect to insulin group (p<0.001). Conclusions. Substituting exenatide for insulin might be an option in insulin-treated, type 2 diabetic patients having obesity, and poor glycemic control. However, patients with longer duration of diabetes and insulin treatment and with lower C-peptide levels might not benefit from exenatide therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

PubMed ID: 27029283, Background: A nasogastric tube (NGT) insertion is a common procedure in intensive care units, with some serious complications that result from the malposition of the NGT tip. This pilot study was designed to investigate the efficiency of ultrasound in verifying correct NGT placement and to compare these results with radiographic findings. Materials and Methods: This was a single-center, double-blind prospective study of patients who had received an NGT in the pediatric critical care unit. Twenty-one patients aged 1 month to 18 years were included in this study. All NGTs were inserted by the same critical care physician. After insertion, the physician first confirmed NGT placement by the auscultation of the epigastrium following the insufflation of air. Confirmation was supplemented with an abdominal radiograph. A radiologist who was unaware of the radiographic findings performed bedside sonography on all patients and verified the location of the NGTs. The findings from these 2 physicians were then compared. Results: NGTs were inserted without any complications, and none of the NGTs were positioned in the respiratory tract in any of the patients. All NGT tips were visualized by radiography and sonography with a sensitivity of 100%. Conclusion: Bedside sonography performed by a radiologist is an effective and sensitive diagnostic procedure for confirming the correct NGT position in patients in the pediatric critical care unit. © 2016 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.

Abstract

Objective: (s): This study aims to evaluate the changes in temporal auditory processing skills in children who underwent bilateral ventilation tube insertion (VTI) due to Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and the effect of these changes on speech comprehension in noisy environments., Methods: This is a case-control study. In total, 60 children were included in the study in two groups. The control group included 30 children aged 11 to 15, who had normal hearing thresholds and normal immitancemetric evaluation, and were not diagnosed with OME. The study group included 30 children, aged 11-15 who underwent bilateral VTI surgery after their diagnosis of OME during the ages of 3-10 and currently had normal hearing thresholds and normal immitancemetric values. Each group underwent the Turkish Matrix Test (TMT), Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT), Frequency Pattern Test (FPT), Duration Pattern Test (DPT), and Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential Test (CAEP)., Results: When the temporal processing tests (FPT, DPT, RGDT) were compared, a significant difference was obtained between the study group and the control group (p < 0.05). With the TMT, significantly lower scores were obtained in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). In addition, the latency values in the cortical auditory evoked potential test were longer in the study group compared to the control group, but these results were not statistically significant (p > 0.05)., Conclusion: As a result of the study, it is concluded that the central auditory processing skills were affected in children with a history of bilateral VTI due to OME. Temporal processing tests, Turkish Matrix Test and Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential tests can be recommended as reliable and easily applicable tests, together with traditional hearing test methods in children with a history of OME, in order to evaluate comprehension skills in classroom noise., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest All of the authors declare that there is no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

Background: Occlusive thrombi in acute ischemic stroke can be in various types which limits the success of the thrombectomy. The NeVa TM (Vesalio, Nashville, Tennessee) thrombectomy device was originally designed for all types of clot. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the NeVa TM device for mechanical thrombectomy., Methods: Retrospective review of prospectively collected mechanical thrombectomy database revealed 145 patients who had fullfilled the inclusion criteria. The data collected includes clinical patient characteristics, procedural measures, timestamp at each stage, and patient outcome. IV thrombolytics application, pre and post-intervention imaging findings, device related adverse event and any type of intracranial hemorrhage were recorded., Results: There was female pre-dominance (54.5%). Median presenting national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) was 16 (IQR, 3-32). 88 MCA-m1 (60,6%), 43 ICA-tip (29,6%), 11 MCA-m2 (7,5%), 2 ACA (1,4%) and 1 basilar (0,7%) occlusions were underwent for mechanical thrombectomy. Median procedure time was 25 min (IQR, 7-136). First-pass reperfusion scores were mTICI 0-2a 22.7%, mTICI 2b 23.4%, mTICI 2c 17.9% and mTICI 3 35.9%. Mean number of pass was 1,84 ± 1,14. Final mTICI 2b-3 score was 97.9% and TICI2c-3 score was 87.6%. No device related adverse event occurred. The mean 24-h NIHSS score was 6 (IQR 0-33)., Conclusion: In conclusion, the NeVa thrombectomy device offers a high rate of first-pass success along with favorable safety profile.

Abstract

Background: The best strategy to achieve optimal reperfusion outcomes during mechanical thrombectomy remains to be defined. The RapidPulse TM Cyclic Aspiration System is a novel technology, delivering high-frequency pulsed vacuum forces to increase the efficiency of aspiration thrombectomy., Methods: Prospective, multicenter, open-label, core lab-adjudicated, two-arm study comparing safety and efficacy of a feasibility version of the RapidPulse TM system compared with contemporary controls. Primary endpoint was the rate of mTICI ≥ 2c after first-pass effect (FPE). Additional efficacy endpoints were the rates of mTICI ≥ 2b after first pass (modified FPE (mFPE)), last pass with study device defined as frontline technical success, and after all passes including rescue therapy. The primary safety endpoints included symptomatic ICH (sICH) within 24 h post-procedure., Results: Between February 2022 to December 2022, 80 subjects were consented and enrolled in the study (n = 40 treatment arm, n = 40 control arm). In the intent to treat (ITT) population, mean age was 67.8 ± 11.5 years; 19 (47.5%) were male. Median NIHSS score was 16 (IQR: 13-22). Median ASPECTS score was 9 (IQR: 8-10). The rate of mTICI ≥ 2c after first pass was 53.9% in ITT population (60.0% in per-protocol population) versus 38.5% in the corresponding control population. Functional independence (mRS 0-2) at 90 days was achieved in 61.1% (22/36) in the RapidPulse TM arm and 52.8% (19/36) in the control arm. In the RapidPulse TM arm, no sICH within 24 h and no device-related morbidity or mortality occurred., Conclusion: Preliminary data suggests RapidPulse TM Aspiration System is highly effective and safe for recanalization of large vessel occlusions., Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interestsThe authors declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Abstract

Introduction: Behçet's disease (BD) is a vasculitis that involves all small vessels and influences the multiple systems of the human body. This study aimed to evaluate the audio-vestibular system involvement of patients with BD and healthy individuals., Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a prospective case-control blinded study. Thirty-one patients with BD and 31 healthy individuals were included. All the subjects were evaluated via pure tone audiometry (PTA), video head impulse test (vHIT), post head shake nystagmus test (PHSNT) and dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) to check for audio-vestibular system involvement., Results: Patients with BD showed higher PTA scores in both speech and high frequencies. The vHIT revealed pathological saccades, particularly in horizontal canals (right ear: p = 0.002, left ear: p = 0.039). The gain values of the patients were slightly lower than those of the control group; however, gain and gain asymmetry differed significantly in a few canals. In the spontaneous nystagmus test and PHSNT, pathological nystagmus was detected to be significantly higher in the patient group than control group (p = 0.001); but the saccade presence in vHIT and nystagmus in PHNT did not differ among the patients (p = 0.106). In addition, the DHI scores of the patients group were higher than those of the control group (p < 0.001). No correlation was found between disease duration and saccade presence., Conclusion: The vHIT was used preliminary for evaluating the vestibular system in BD. This study showed the influence of BD on the audio-vestibular system, in particular isolated horizontal canal involvement was discovered in patients with BD., Level of Evidence: Level III b.
