Abstract

Abstract Hematological malignancies are associated with an increased risk of complications during SARS-CoV-2 infections. Primary series or monovalent booster vaccines reduce disease severity, hospitalization, and death among multiple myeloma patients. We characterized virus-neutralizing and spike-binding antibody profiles following monovalent (WA1) or bivalent (WA1/BA.5) SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination in MM patients. Bivalent vaccination improved the breadth of binding antibodies but not neutralization activity against contemporary variants. Hybrid immunity and immune imprinting impact vaccine-elicited immunity.

Abstract

Background The extent of coronary disease affects clinical outcomes and may predict the effectiveness of coronary revascularization with either coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score quantifies the extent of coronary disease. Objectives This study sought to determine whether SYNTAX scores predicted outcomes and the effectiveness of coronary revascularization compared with medical therapy in the BARI-2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes) trial. Methods Baseline SYNTAX scores were retrospectively calculated for BARI-2D patients without prior revascularization (N = 1,550) by angiographic laboratory investigators masked to patient characteristics and outcomes. The primary outcome was major cardiovascular events (a composite of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) over 5 years. Results A mid/high SYNTAX score (≥23) was associated with a higher risk of major cardiovascular events (hazard ratio: 1.36, confidence interval: 1.07 to 1.75, p = 0.01). Patients in the CABG stratum had significantly higher SYNTAX scores: 36% had mid/high SYNTAX scores compared with 13% in the PCI stratum (p Conclusions Among patients with diabetes and stable ischemic heart disease, higher SYNTAX scores predict higher rates of major cardiovascular events and were associated with more favorable outcomes of revascularization compared with medical therapy among patients suitable for CABG.

Abstract

Summary: As SARS-CoV-2 becomes endemic, it is critical to understand immunity following early-life infection. We evaluated humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 in 23 infants/young children. Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens peaked approximately 30 days after infection and were maintained up to 500 days with little apparent decay. While the magnitude of humoral responses was similar to an adult cohort recovered from mild/moderate COVID-19, both binding and neutralization titers to WT SARS-CoV-2 were more durable in infants/young children, with spike and RBD IgG antibody half-life nearly 4X as long as in adults. IgG subtype analysis revealed that while IgG1 formed the majority of the response in both groups, IgG3 was more common in adults and IgG2 in infants/young children. These findings raise important questions regarding differential regulation of humoral immunity in infants/young children and adults and could have broad implications for the timing of vaccination and booster strategies in this age group.

Abstract

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the second largest and fourth most populous country in Africa. More than two decades of ongoing conflicts have degraded its healthcare system. A broad range of tropical diseases, along with opportunities for collaborative medical engagements (CMEs), are prevalent. However, reports from such events in this country are sparse. In June 2013, a CME was conducted in the western town of Muanda. Twenty-two hours of didactic sessions were collaboratively presented, and 158 patients were collaboratively evaluated. Durable dental and respiratory equipment, infrastructure improvements, and training opportunities were the top needs identified by the providers. Whether the regional referral hospital received sustainable benefit remains under investigation. However, the approach and needs assessment described herein provide a framework for future engagements or assistance. This CME established a precedence of medical partnership in the region because it led to the largest multidisciplinary joint collaboration in the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Abstract

Background.Research has shown less aggressive treatment and poorer control of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in women than men.Methods.We analyzed sex differences in pharmacotherapy strategies and attainment of goals for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood pressure (BP), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with type 2 diabetes and established coronary artery disease enrolled into the BARI 2D trial.Results.Similar numbers of drugs were prescribed in both women and men. Women were less frequent on metformin or sulfonylurea and more likely to take insulin and to be on higher doses of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) than men. After adjusting for baseline differences and treatment prescribed, women were less likely to achieve goals for HbA1c (OR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.57, 0.88) and LDL-C (OR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.53, 0.78). More antihypertensives were prescribed to women, and yet BP ≤ 130/80 mmHg did not differ by sex.Conclusions.Women entering the BARI 2D trial were as aggressively treated with drugs as men. Despite equivalent treatment, women less frequently met targets for HbA1c and LDL-C. Our findings suggest that there may be sex differences in response to drug therapies used to treat diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.

Abstract

The importance of glycemic control has been well established. In response, the American Diabetes Association has established goals for glycemic control and other cardiovascular parameters, including blood pressure and low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey has shown that only about half (57%) of patients with diabetes meet a glycated hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) goal of < 7%, approximately 45% meet blood pressure and total cholesterol goals, and only 12% achieve all 3 treatment goals. While treating hyperglycemia remains the primary treatment goal, careful selection of pharmacotherapies that do not adversely affect cardiovascular risk factors or long-term glycemic control is an important consideration for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. During the past 5 years, the number of treatment options and the complexity of treatment guidelines for diabetes have increased markedly, which makes treatment decisions more complicated and time-consuming, and greatly impacts the workload of the primary care physicians who deliver care to the majority of this population. To provide optimal diabetes care when time and resources are limited, primary care physicians may want to enlist the support of other providers, such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, diabetes educators, dietitians, and social and case workers. The use of team care, coupled with appropriately chosen pharmacologic therapy and patient education that fosters the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to make self-management decisions, have been shown to improve glycemic control and cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose To determine if modem transmission of blood glucose data by patients with gestational diabetes could provide faster communication of results, increased clinic work-flow efficiency, and equivalent accuracy. Participant and health care provider satisfaction with the technique was also assessed. Data sources Participants were randomized to the modem group, which used the Acculink Modem to report blood glucose data, or to the control group, which used the telephone to report the data. Telephone consultation time, clinic visit time, and accuracy of data were measured. Participants and health care providers completed satisfaction questionnaires. Conclusions No significant differences in telephone consultation time, clinic work-flow efficiency, or accuracy were found between the groups. However, both the modem group and clinic staff were highly satisfied with telemedicine transmission of blood glucose data. Implications for practice Telemedicine is a convenient method for monitoring patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. As a result of this study, modem transmission was instituted in our clinic for insulin pump patients interested in using modem technology.

Abstract

Aim: The ability of a hen egg white bovine colostrum supplement to prevent severe COVID-19 was tested in a double-blind randomized control study. Methods: Adults with mild/moderate COVID-19, risk factors for severe disease, and within 5 days of symptom onset were assigned to the intervention (n = 77) or placebo (n = 79) arms. Symptoms were documented until day 42 post-enrollment and viral clearance was assessed at 11–13 days post-symptom onset. Results: One participant developed severe COVID-19. The severe-type symptom score was lower in the active arm at 11–13 days post-symptom onset (p = 0.049). Chest pain, fever/chills, joint pain/malaise, and sore throat were significantly less frequent in the active arm. No differences in viral clearance were observed. Conclusion: The intervention reduced symptoms of mild/moderate COVID-19. Clinical Trial Registration: DOH-27-062021-9191 (South African National Clinical Trials Register)
