Abstract: Abstract Background Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, accounting for approximately 30% of congenital heart defects. Conventional surgical repair using cardiopulmonary bypass is invasive and associated with morbidities and prolonged hospital stay. With the advent of interventional approaches and availability of different occluding devices, the technique of perventricular device closure is evolving and being implemented successfully in larger groups of patients. We present herein, our initial experience of perventricular device closure for the ventricular septal defects in children to assess risks and benefits. Methods From March, 2023 to February, 2024, we have performed perventricular closure of ventricular septal defects in 13 children, under guidance of transesophageal echocardiography without cardiopulmonary bypass support. The median age at operation was 2 year (range 1.3–10 years) with the median body weight 11 kg (range 8.7–16.6 kg). Sixty-nine percent were males. The ventricular septal defect sizes ranged from 2.7 to 6 mm (mean 4.7 mm). Seven defects were perimembranous, four sub-aortic and two were muscular. One patient also underwent pulmonary artery de-banding with pulmonary artery balloon angioplasty and other one patent ductus arteriosus ligation, concomitantly. For defect closure, we used ventricular septal defect occlusion device (MemoPart™, Lepu Medical Technology Company, China) through a 3-cm skin incision in the lower- third of the sternum. The device sizes ranged from 5 to 8 mm (mean 6.9+-1.8 mm) and all patients except for two required symmetrical devices. Results All patients underwent device closure successfully. The procedural duration ranged between 32 and 52 min. None of the patients required cardiopulmonary bypass. The mean ventilation time and intensive care unit stay was 3 and 24 h, respectively. None of the patients required inotropic support or blood transfusions. Moreover, no patients developed any arrhythmias including heart block. The average length of hospital stay was 4.4 days. At the latest follow up, there were no residual shunts, conduction disturbances, device dislodgement or major aortic or tricuspid valve complications seen in any patients. There was no mortality. Conclusions Perventricular device closure of ventricular septal defects is a less invasive, extremely safe and effective method in children. It is associated with very fast recovery, shorter hospitalization time and better cosmetic incision. Moreover, it avoids cardiopulmonary bypass. The modifications and refinements in the design, material and implantation techniques will help in expanding the indications and prevent complications in the long-term.

2. Coral reef aorta: a rare form of obstruction of the ascending aorta in adolescent with aortopathy- case report

Author: Neerod Kumar Jha, Benedict Raj Kumar, Nishant Shah, Osama Abdullah, Oraib Al Ketan, Fraser Harban, and Mohammad Daud Khan
Subjects: Aorta, Calcification, Coral, Reef, 3-D, Cardiac, Surgery, RD1-811, Anesthesiology, RD78.3-87.3
Abstract: Abstract Background Supra aortic obstruction in children is uncommon and is seen in certain unique conditions. While intraluminal obstruction due to heavy calcification is seen in older populations, it is not described in pediatric populations. The coral reef aorta is a rare and distinct calcifying disease causing luminal obstruction of the suprarenal aorta in adults. The definition of this diagnosis relies entirely on the unique aspects and consistency of the lesions, which are rock-hard, irregular, gritty plaques with a white luminal surface resembling a coral reef. However, no such case has been described in children. Case presentation We present an adolescent boy who presented with a heavily calcified ascending aortic lesion associated with aortopathy and hypertension, 12 years after an aortic coarctation repair. The investigations included echocardiography, magnetic resonance and computer-tomographic imaging. A 3-D model was printed in order to visualize and plan surgical steps in advance for safe placement of clamps and defining the extent of resection. In addition, it provided an idea about tissue quality, thickness, spatial relationship, and orientation in relation to surrounding structures. Successful resection and replacement of the diseased segment of the aorta were achieved on cardiopulmonary bypass support. Post-operative recovery was uneventful, and at 6-month follow-up, the patient is doing well. In this report, various aspects of such lesions have been discussed, including clinical presentations, complications, planning and conduct of a safe cardiopulmonary bypass, and precautions during surgery for a successful outcome. Conclusion Complicated obstructive aortic lesions in children require careful assessment, appropriate advanced imaging, and the use of 3-D printing technology in order to plan and perform safe and effective surgical management. The etiology of severe calcified aorta in children may be related to metabolic factors, previous surgery, use of a homograft, or an inflammatory process. However, it has yet to be proven.

3. Refusing Platform Promises

Author: Nishant Shah
Subjects: Digital Cultures, Digital Platforms, Social Media, Violence against Women, Social history and conditions. Social problems. Social reform, HN1-995, Sociology (General), HM401-1281
Abstract: Platforms have recently come under scrutiny, both in policy and in scholarship. Yet, there is little attention paid to the notion and materiality of gendered practices. Although gender is present on these platforms, it is not necessarily endemic or critical to the analysis of these platformed practices. Platform Promises is a way by which we look at platformisation of gender, focusing on how gender politics are coded into the logic and infrastructure of these platforms. I propose that we stop thinking about platforms as technological engineering artefacts upon which conditions of gender are operationalised. This framing makes us believe that gendered and sexual violence online are a state of exception which can be fixed through better regulation and governance. I propose that we use gender as both a discursive and an analytic category by which to rewrite the discourse on platforms, to see the platform promises that are taken for granted and are not questioned in the dominant narratives.

Subjects: cardiac testing, cardiovascular disease, coronavirus, COVID-19, global health, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly affected management of cardiovascular disease around the world. The effect of the pandemic on volume of cardiovascular diagnostic procedures is not known. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the effects of the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular diagnostic procedures and safety practices in Asia. Methods: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey to assess changes in cardiovascular procedure volume and safety practices caused by COVID-19. Testing volumes were reported for March 2020 and April 2020 and were compared to those from March 2019. Data from 180 centers across 33 Asian countries were grouped into 4 subregions for comparison. Results: Procedure volumes decreased by 47% from March 2019 to March 2020, showing recovery from March 2020 to April 2020 in Eastern Asia, particularly in China. The majority of centers cancelled outpatient activities and increased time per study. Practice changes included implementing physical distancing and restricting visitors. Although COVID testing was not commonly performed, it was conducted in one-third of facilities in Eastern Asia. The most severe reductions in procedure volumes were observed in lower-income countries, where volumes decreased 81% from March 2019 to April 2020. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic in Asia caused significant reductions in cardiovascular diagnostic procedures, particularly in low-income countries. Further studies on effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular outcomes and changes in care delivery are warranted.

5. Malposition of septum primum in isolated dextrocardia: unique and rare form of anomalous pulmonary venous return in association with partial absence of pericardium-case report

Author: Neerod Kumar Jha, Haitham Talo, Laszlo Kiraly, Nishant Shah, Aref Al Hakami, Zafar Althaf Azeez, and Ajitha Kumari Kamala Bai

Abstract: Abstract Background Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) refers to an anomaly in which all of the pulmonary veins drain directly or indirectly to the systemic venous circulation. However, unusual types constitute approximately 5% or less of TAPVRs and there may be obstruction or discontinuity of pulmonary vein at various levels. Case presentation A 3-month-old infant was presented to us with history of poor feeding, respiratory distress and desaturations. The routine echocardiographic investigation initially confirmed the diagnosis of an atrial septal defect with dextrocardia. However, due to disproportionate severity of symptoms and congestive heart failure a cardiac computer tomography angiogram was done that revealed a rare finding of connection of pulmonary veins fused with the posterior atrium, but on the rightward side of the deviated atrial septum. Therefore, pulmonary veins entered a sinus that drains directly into the right atrial superior-posterior wall. During surgical repair, we found an area of absent pericardium in the diaphragmatic surface of the heart. The patient underwent total repair of the TAPVR and patch reconstruction of the pericardial defect. The patient is doing well at 6-month follow up. Conclusions The septum primum malposition defect resulting in TAPVR is a very rare congenital anomaly that can be rarely seen without any heterotaxy. The anomalous features including absent pericardium and dextrocardia were present in this patient have not been described previously with TAPVR. Therefore, we have hypothesized the embryological correlation of absent pericardium and cardiac malposition in such case. Transthoracic echocardiography with Doppler interrogation is a reliable method for diagnosing this condition. In case of suboptimal echocardiographic image due to cardiac position, unclear anatomy or unexplained symptoms, advanced imaging such as computer tomographic angiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can be very helpful. Preoperative proper diagnosis of this anomaly facilitates successful surgical management with excellent outcome.

Abstract: Abstract Background Congenital coronary artery fistula in association with aneurysm of the involved coronary artery in adults is rare. Moreover, the right coronary artery- left atrial fistula is also uncommon. Most of the cases are asymptomatic. However, symptomatic patients need therapeutic interventions. The potential complications associated with this anomaly are life-threatening, therefore, there is a need to explore more on differential diagnosis, investigations, management strategies and prevention of complications. Case presentation We present herewith a 26-year-old male patient with symptoms of chest pain and dyspnea. He was diagnosed with aneurysmal dilatation of the right coronary artery in its entire course which terminated as a fistulous communication into the left atrium. The closure of the fistula was done using autologous pericardial patch under cardiopulmonary bypass. Currently, the patient is being followed up after surgery and receiving anticoagulants. Conclusion The advancement in the diagnostic imaging modalities have made it possible to find similar abnormalities more frequently. Due to rare nature of this anomaly, there is a need to explore and discuss management strategies that include medical management, surgical intervention or percutaneous interventions for a successful outcome.

Subjects: cholesterol, heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, long‐term evolution, premature coronary artery disease, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasing among young adults. We aimed to describe the cardiovascular risk factors and long‐term prognosis of premature CAD. Methods and Results Using the Duke Databank for Cardiovascular Disease, we evaluated 3655 patients admitted between 1995 and 2013 with a first diagnosis of obstructive CAD before the age of 50 years. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or revascularization, were ascertained for up to 10 years. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess associations with the rate of first recurrent event, and negative binomial log‐linear regression was used for rate of multiple event recurrences. Past or current smoking was the most frequent cardiovascular factor (60.8%), followed by hypertension (52.8%) and family history of CAD (39.8%). Within a 10‐year follow‐up, 52.9% of patients had at least 1 MACE, 18.6% had at least 2 recurrent MACEs, and 7.9% had at least 3 recurrent MACEs, with death occurring in 20.9% of patients. Across follow‐up, 31.7% to 37.2% of patients continued smoking, 81.7% to 89.3% had low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels beyond the goal of 70 mg/dL, and 16% had new‐onset diabetes mellitus. Female sex, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, multivessel disease, and chronic inflammatory disease were factors associated with recurrent MACEs. Conclusions Premature CAD is an aggressive disease with frequent ischemic recurrences and premature death. Individuals with premature CAD have a high proportion of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, but failure to control them is frequently observed.

Subjects: Medicine, Science
Abstract: ObjectivePoor housing conditions have been linked with worse health outcomes and infectious disease spread. Since the relationship of poor housing conditions with incidence and mortality of COVID-19 is unknown, we investigated the association between poor housing condition and COVID-19 incidence and mortality in US counties.MethodsWe conducted cross-sectional analysis of county-level data from the US Centers for Disease Control, US Census Bureau and John Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center for 3135 US counties. The exposure of interest was percentage of households with poor housing conditions (one or greater of: overcrowding, high housing cost, incomplete kitchen facilities, or incomplete plumbing facilities). Outcomes were incidence rate ratios (IRR) and mortality rate ratios (MRR) of COVID-19 across US counties through 4/21/2020. Multilevel generalized linear modeling (with total population of each county as a denominator) was utilized to estimate relative risk of incidence and mortality related to poor housing conditions with adjustment for population density and county characteristics including demographics, income, education, prevalence of medical comorbidities, access to healthcare insurance and emergency rooms, and state-level COVID-19 test density. We report incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and mortality ratios (MRRs) for a 5% increase in prevalence in households with poor housing conditions.ResultsAcross 3135 US counties, the mean percentage of households with poor housing conditions was 14.2% (range 2.7% to 60.2%). On April 21st, the mean (SD) number of cases and deaths of COVID-19 were 255.68 (2877.03) cases and 13.90 (272.22) deaths per county, respectively. In the adjusted models standardized by county population, with each 5% increase in percent households with poor housing conditions, there was a 50% higher risk of COVID-19 incidence (IRR 1.50, 95% CI: 1.38-1.62) and a 42% higher risk of COVID-19 mortality (MRR 1.42, 95% CI: 1.25-1.61). Results remained similar using earlier timepoints (3/31/2020 and 4/10/2020).Conclusions and relevanceCounties with a higher percentage of households with poor housing had higher incidence of, and mortality associated with, COVID-19. These findings suggest targeted health policies to support individuals living in poor housing conditions should be considered in further efforts to mitigate adverse outcomes associated with COVID-19.

9. Sustainable Stabilizer-Free Nanoparticle Formulations of Valsartan Using Eudragit® RLPO

Author: Eszter Hajba-Horváth, Andrea Fodor-Kardos, Nishant Shah, Matthias G. Wacker, and Tivadar Feczkó
Subjects: nanoparticles for drug delivery, valsartan, Eudragit®, emulsion-solvent evaporation, drug release, in silico modeling, Biology (General), QH301-705.5, Chemistry, QD1-999
Abstract: The bioavailability of the antihypertensive drug valsartan can be enhanced by various microencapsulation methods. In the present investigation, valsartan-loaded polymeric nanoparticles were manufactured from Eudragit® RLPO using an emulsion–solvent evaporation method. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was found to be a suitable stabilizer for the nanoparticles, resulting in a monodisperse colloid system ranging in size between 148 nm and 162 nm. Additionally, a high encapsulation efficiency (96.4%) was observed. However, due to the quaternary ammonium groups of Eudragit® RLPO, the stabilization of the dispersion could be achieved in the absence of PVA as well. The nanoparticles were reduced in size (by 22%) and exhibited similar encapsulation efficiencies (96.4%). This more cost-effective and sustainable production method reduces the use of excipients and their expected emission into the environment. The drug release from valsartan-loaded nanoparticles was evaluated in a two-stage biorelevant dissolution set-up, leading to the rapid dissolution of valsartan in a simulated intestinal medium. In silico simulations using a model validated previously indicate a potential dose reduction of 60–70% compared to existing drug products. This further reduces the expected emission of the ecotoxic compound into the environment.

10. When Machines Speak to Each Other: Unpacking the 'Social' in 'Social Media'

Author: Nishant Shah
Subjects: Communication. Mass media, P87-96
Abstract: This manifesto offers three approaches to understand the “social” in “social media.” Drawing from emerging practices, discourses, architectures, and research, the manifesto argues that while it is important to look at how the emergence of digital media changes, regulates, and shapes the social structures of governance and inter-personal communication, it is also necessary to look at how sapient technologies communicate and talk to each other, thus creating a new sociality that emerges from machine architecture and interface design rather than human intention and social norms.

Abstract: BackgroundTelehealth use rapidly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, including for contraceptive care (e.g., counseling and method provision). This study explored providers' experiences with contraceptive care via telehealth.MethodsWe conducted a survey with open-ended responses among contraceptive providers across the United States. The study population included physicians, nurse practitioners, health educators, and other health professionals (n=546). Data were collected from April 10, 2020, to January 29, 2021. We conducted qualitative content analysis of the open-ended responses.ResultsProviders highlighted the benefits of telehealth, including continuing access to contraceptive services and accommodating patients who faced challenges attending in-person contraceptive visits. Providers at school-based health centers reported telehealth allowed them to reach young people while schools were closed. However, many providers noted a lack of patient awareness about the availability of telehealth services and disparities in access to technology. Providers felt there was less personal connection in virtual contraceptive counseling, noted challenges with confidentiality, and expressed concern about the inability to provide the full range of contraceptive methods through telehealth alone.ConclusionsThe pandemic significantly impacted contraceptive health care delivery. Telehealth has sustained access to contraception in important ways, but has been accompanied by various challenges, including technological access and confidentiality. As hybrid models of care evolve, it is important to assess how telehealth can play a role in providing contraceptive care while addressing its barriers.

Abstract: Background Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) refers to an anomaly in which all of the pulmonary veins drain directly or indirectly to the systemic venous circulation. However, unusual types constitute approximately 5% or less of TAPVRs and there may be obstruction or discontinuity of pulmonary vein at various levels. Case presentation A 3-month-old infant was presented to us with history of poor feeding, respiratory distress and desaturations. The routine echocardiographic investigation initially confirmed the diagnosis of an atrial septal defect with dextrocardia. However, due to disproportionate severity of symptoms and congestive heart failure a cardiac computer tomography angiogram was done that revealed a rare finding of connection of pulmonary veins fused with the posterior atrium, but on the rightward side of the deviated atrial septum. Therefore, pulmonary veins entered a sinus that drains directly into the right atrial superior-posterior wall. During surgical repair, we found an area of absent pericardium in the diaphragmatic surface of the heart. The patient underwent total repair of the TAPVR and patch reconstruction of the pericardial defect. The patient is doing well at 6-month follow up. Conclusions The septum primum malposition defect resulting in TAPVR is a very rare congenital anomaly that can be rarely seen without any heterotaxy. The anomalous features including absent pericardium and dextrocardia were present in this patient have not been described previously with TAPVR.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The extent to which health care systems have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide necessary cardiac diagnostic services is unknown.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the pandemic on cardiac testing practices, volumes and types of diagnostic services, and perceived psychological stress to health care providers worldwide.METHODS: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations from baseline in cardiovascular diagnostic care at the pandemic's onset and 1 year later. Multivariable regression was used to determine factors associated with procedure volume recovery.RESULTS: Surveys were submitted from 669 centers in 107 countries. Worldwide reduction in cardiac procedure volumes of 64% from March 2019 to April 2020 recovered by April 2021 in high- and upper middle-income countries (recovery rates of 108% and 99%) but remained depressed in lower middle- and low-income countries (46% and 30% recovery). Although stress testing was used 12% less frequently in 2021 than in 2019, coronary computed tomographic angiography was used 14% more, a trend also seen for other advanced cardiac imaging modalities (positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance; 22%-25% increases). Pandemic-related psychological stress was estimated to have affected nearly 40% of staff, impacting patient care at 78% of sites. In multivariable regression, only lower-income status and physicians' psychological stress were significant in predicting recovery of cardiac testing.CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac diagnostic testing has yet to recover to prepandemic levels in lower-income countries. Worldwide, the decrease in standard stress testing is offset by greater use of advanced cardiac imaging modalities. Pandemic-related psychological stress among providers is widespread and associated with poor recovery of cardiac testing.

Abstract: BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected diagnosis and treatment of noncommunicable diseases. Its effects on delivery of diagnostic care for cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death worldwide, have not been quantified. OBJECTIVES The study sought to assess COVID-19`s impact on global cardiovascular diagnostic procedural volumes and safety practices. METHODS The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations in cardiovascular procedure volumes and safety practices resulting from COVID-19. Noninvasive and invasive cardiac testing volumes were obtained from participating sites for March and April 2020 and compared with those from March 2019. Availability of personal protective equipment and pandemic-related testing practice changes were ascertained. RESULTS Surveys were submitted from 909 inpatient and outpatient centers performing cardiac diagnostic procedures, in 108 countries. Procedure volumes decreased 42% from March 2019 to March 2020, and 64% from March 2019 to April 2020. Transthoradc echocardiography decreased by 59%, transesophageat echocardiography 76%, and stress tests 78%, which varied between stress modalities. Coronary angiography (invasive or computed tomography) decreased 55% (p < 0.001 for each procedure). hi multivariable regression, significantly greater reduction in procedures occurred for centers in countries with lower gross domestic product. Location in a low-income and lower-middle-income country was associated with an additional 22% reduction in cardiac procedures and less availability of personal protective equipment and teteheatth. CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 was associated with a significant and abrupt reduction in cardiovascular diagnostic testing across the globe, especially affecting the world's economically challenged. Further study of cardiovascular outcomes and COVID-19-related changes in care delivery is warranted. (C) 2021 The Authors.

Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, debilitating condition associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic burden. Patients with end-stage HF (ESHF) who are not a candidate for advanced therapies will continue to progress despite standard medical therapy. Thus, the focus of care shifts from prolonging life to controlling symptoms and improving quality of life through palliative care ( PC). Because the condition and prognosis of HF patients evolve and can rapidly deteriorate, it is imperative to begin the discussion on end-of-life (EOL) issues early during HF management. These include the completion of an advance directive, do-not-resuscitate orders, and policies on device therapy and discontinuation as part of advance care planning (ACP). ESHF patients who do not have indications for advanced therapies or those who wish not to have a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or heart transplant (HT) often experience high symptom burden despite adequate medical management. The proper identification and assessment of symptoms such as pain, dyspnea, nausea, depression, and anxiety are essential to the management of ESHF and may be underdiagnosed and undertreated. Psychological support and spiritual care are also crucial to improving the quality of life during EOL. Caregivers of ESHF patients must also be provided supportive care to prevent compassion fatigue and improve resilience in patient care. In this narrative review, we compare the international guidelines and provide an overview of end-of-life and palliative care for patients with ESHF.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) virtual modeling and printing advances individualized medicine and surgery. In congenital cardiac surgery, 3D virtual models and printed prototypes offer advantages of better understanding of complex anatomy, hands-on preoperative surgical planning and emulation, and improved communication within the multidisciplinary team and to patients. We report our single center team-learning experience about the realization and validation of possible clinical benefits of 3D-printed models in surgical planning of complex congenital cardiac surgery. CT-angiography raw data were segmented into 3D-virtual models of the heart-great vessels. Prototypes were 3D-printed as rigid “blood-volume” and flexible “hollow”. The accuracy of the models was evaluated intraoperatively. Production steps were realized in the framework of a clinical/research partnership. We produced 3D prototypes of the heart-great vessels for 15 case scenarios (nine males, median age: 11 months) undergoing complex intracardiac repairs. Parity between 3D models and intraoperative structures was within 1 mm range. Models refined diagnostics in 13/15, provided new anatomic information in 9/15. As a team-learning experience, all complex staged redo-operations (13/15, Aristotle-score mean: 10.64 ± 1.95) were rehearsed on the 3D models preoperatively. 3D-printed prototypes significantly contributed to an improved/alternative operative plan on the surgical approach, modification of intracardiac repair in 13/15. No operative morbidity/mortality occurred. Our clinical/research partnership provided coverage for the extra time/labor and material/machinery not financed by insurance. 3D-printed models provided a team-learning experience and contributed to the safety of complex congenital cardiac surgeries. A clinical/research partnership may open avenues for bioprinting of patient-specific implants.

Abstract: 424 Background: Capecitabine (cape), an oral chemotherapy, is the treatment backbone for many GI cancers. Its complex dosing and narrow therapeutic index make medication adherence and toxicity management crucial for quality patient care. Methods: We conducted a feasibility study of “Penny,” an augmented intelligence mobile phone chatbot that leverages algorithmic surveys and natural language processing (NLP) to engage with patients in conversational, bi-directional text messages. Penny provides patients with medication reminders tailored to their prescribed doses and schedules, sends weekly check-in messages, manages low-grade symptoms in real time, and escalates high-grade symptoms for resolution by the clinical team. Patients ≥18 years old receiving cape for the treatment of a GI cancer were accrued in sequential cohorts of 20 for participation over a three-month period. Feasibility was assessed during planned interim analyses and was predefined as the completion of a 20-patient cohort without a safety event, defined as the communication of incorrect medication or symptom management recommendations as ascertained by two independent clinician reviewers (Κ = 0.89). Secondary outcomes included patient-reported adherence and engagement with the chatbot’s weekly check-in messages. At study completion, all patients were invited to participate in structured interviews to provide feedback on the platform. Results: The first cohort of 20 patients was enrolled from 8/2021 to 4/2022; the median age was 57 years, and patients were primarily female (55%), white (65%), commercially insured (55%), and had colorectal cancer (55%). Chemotherapy regimens included cape with oxaliplatin (50%), concurrent RT (30%), temozolomide (5%), and monotherapy (15%). A total of 2,149 text messaging exchanges were reviewed with 150 (7%) medication-related and 9 (0.4%) symptom-related safety events identified. Most medication-related safety events were due to misalignment with prescribed chemotherapy schedules (55%) and doses (32%). Symptom-related safety events were primarily due to the misinterpretation of patient messages by Penny’s NLP functionality (89%). Average patient-reported adherence was 67% (SD 27%), and patients engaged with 27% (SD 24%) of the chatbot’s weekly check-in messages. In post-study interviews with 12 patients, participants reported that the medication reminders were reliable and user-friendly, whereas the symptom management tool was too simplistic to be helpful. Conclusions: Although Penny has not yet met its feasibility endpoint, the lessons learned from this first cohort have informed further refinements to the platform. Ongoing efforts aim to integrate Penny with the electronic health record and further train the chatbot’s NLP functionality to minimize medication- and symptom-related safety events, respectively. Clinical trial information: NCT05113264.

Abstract: Surgical management of left ventricle outflow tract obstruction in infants with right-dominant unbalanced transitional atrioventricular septal defect poses difficulties. A two-month-old infant with transitional atrioventricular septal defect and complex left ventricle outflow tract obstruction presented in cardiogenic shock. The patient underwent successful biventricular repair. The operative procedure included detachment of the anterior bridging leaflet and resection of its chordal attachments. Septal myectomy was performed with creation of an interventricular communication, followed by patch augmentation of the left ventricular outflow tract and anterior bridging leaflet. The zone of apposition between anterior and posterior bridging leaflets was closed. The repair resulted in effective augmentation of the left ventricular inflow and outflow tracts.

Abstract: Background: In early 2020, COVID-19 massively hit Italy, earlier and harder than any other European country. This caused a series of strict containment measures, aimed at blocking the spread of the pandemic. Healthcare delivery was also affected when resources were diverted towards care of COVID-19 patients, including intensive care wards. Aim of the study: The aim is assessing the impact of COVID-19 on cardiac imaging in Italy, compare to the Rest of Europe (RoE) and the World (RoW). Methods: A global survey was conducted in May–June 2020 worldwide, through a questionnaire distributed online. The survey covered three periods: March and April 2020, and March 2019. Data from 52 Italian centres, a subset of the 909 participating centres from 108 countries, were analyzed. Results: In Italy, volumes decreased by 67% in March 2020, compared to March 2019, as opposed to a significantly lower decrease (p < 0.001) in RoE and RoW (41% and 40%, respectively). A further decrease from March 2020 to April 2020 summed up to 76% for the North, 77% for the Centre and 86% for the South. When compared to the RoE and RoW, this further decrease from March 2020 to April 2020 in Italy was significantly less (p = 0.005), most likely reflecting the earlier effects of the containment measures in Italy, taken earlier than anywhere else in the West. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic massively hit Italy and caused a disruption of healthcare services, including cardiac imaging studies. This raises concern about the medium- and long-term consequences for the high number of patients who were denied timely diagnoses and the subsequent lifesaving therapies and procedures.

Abstract: Background Congenital coronary artery fistula in association with aneurysm of the involved coronary artery in adults is rare. Moreover, the right coronary artery- left atrial fistula is also uncommon. Most of the cases are asymptomatic. However, symptomatic patients need therapeutic interventions. The potential complications associated with this anomaly are life-threatening, therefore, there is a need to explore more on differential diagnosis, investigations, management strategies and prevention of complications. Case presentation We present herewith a 26-year-old male patient with symptoms of chest pain and dyspnea. He was diagnosed with aneurysmal dilatation of the right coronary artery in its entire course which terminated as a fistulous communication into the left atrium. The closure of the fistula was done using autologous pericardial patch under cardiopulmonary bypass. Currently, the patient is being followed up after surgery and receiving anticoagulants. Conclusion The advancement in the diagnostic imaging modalities have made it possible to find similar abnormalities more frequently. Due to rare nature of this anomaly, there is a need to explore and discuss management strategies that include medical management, surgical intervention or percutaneous interventions for a successful outcome.

Abstract: Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly affected management of cardiovascular disease around the world. The effect of the pandemic on volume of cardiovascular diagnostic procedures is not known. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the effects of the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular diagnostic procedures and safety practices in Asia. Methods: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey to assess changes in cardiovascular procedure volume and safety practices caused by COVID-19. Testing volumes were reported for March 2020 and April 2020 and were compared to those from March 2019. Data from 180 centers across 33 Asian countries were grouped into 4 subregions for comparison. Results: Procedure volumes decreased by 47% from March 2019 to March 2020, showing recovery from March 2020 to April 2020 in Eastern Asia, particularly in China. The majority of centers cancelled outpatient activities and increased time per study. Practice changes included implementing physical distancing and restricting visitors. Although COVID testing was not commonly performed, it was conducted in one-third of facilities in Eastern Asia. The most severe reductions in procedure volumes were observed in lower-income countries, where volumes decreased 81% from March 2019 to April 2020. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic in Asia caused significant reductions in cardiovascular diagnostic procedures, particularly in low-income countries. Further studies on effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular outcomes and changes in care delivery are warranted.

Abstract: With anchors in feminist theory, queer discourse, and digital politics, Really Fake rescues “fakeness” from the morass of “fake news” and rejuvenates “fake” as a material and tactical reality. This book treats fakeness as a media object itself: “Fakes” are things that travel and circulate through our bodies, sociality, and the technologies that envelop them. Punctuated with anecdotes, experiences, poetry, stories, and a strong feminist ethic and ethos of care, intimacy, and collectivity, Really Fake offers a series of entry points into reframing the debates of fakeness beyond polarized positions of performative outrage., https://www.librarystack.org/really-fake/?ref=unknown

Abstract: We introduce a novel method to generate customer vehicle usage profiles, representing driving, parking, and charging behavior. Synthesizing usage profiles is the key to support decision-making for customer-centric vehicle development. So far, current methods for vehicle development focus exclusively on driving cycles, whereas the representability of parking and charging behavior, which is essential for electromobility, remains neglected. In this paper, we perform vehicle usage profiling by (i) allocating time spans for driving and parking sections, (ii) optimally selecting driving sections from a trip library established from testing fleets, (iii) rearranging driving sections with parking sections into e.g. week profiles, and (iv) integrating the inferred charging behavior of the profiles together with simulation. Using a model of an exemplary plugin hybrid electric vehicle and given raw data from our testing fleets, we demonstrate that our method is capable of estimating the influence of driving, parking and charging behavior on vehicle loads.

Abstract: Forces of Art investigates the way in which artists, artworks and cultural organizations affect people and their social environments, and explores how cases of creative practice have been operational in empowering people, communities, and societies in their given contexts. It is a dense, multi-layered, polyvocal compendium of current thinking about the impact of art on civil society and social change, and contains a large number of essays and case studies located all over the world, from Central Asia to Meso and Latin America, from Africa to Central Europe, from South and South-East Asia to the Middle East. The driving force is the shared concern and responsibility for societies worldwide, with regards to culture and the well-being of its communities. Considering the question of how art can be consequential, the book challenges the reader to think beyond art as representation, as merely aesthetical, or as simply an object or commodity. Instead, it stirs thinking of art in terms of a force that has the ability to transform., https://www.librarystack.org/forces-of-art/?ref=unknown

40. Interface as a mediating technology of organization

Author: Nishant Shah
Subjects: Computer science, Human–computer interaction, Interface (computing)
Abstract: The interface is a ubiquitous organizational metaphor. This chapter shows how the interface is discussed simultaneously but discretely as a noun and as a verb—as a site of encounter as well as an active controller of our digital practices, respectively. This duality produces a deadlock in critical examination of digital interfaces. The chapter proposes to break the impasse by positioning the interface as a process and analysing it through three sites of inquiry—thresholds, intentionality, and measurement—to enliven the politics of power and control in the organizational promises of the interface.

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study of heat transfer in a slightly rarefied gas flowing in a circular tube with constant wall temperature boundary condition. Local temperature measurements are carried out for the first time in rarefied gas flows to investigate into the anomalous values of Nusselt number (Nu) obtained by a previous experimental study (Demsis et al., 2009). The present measurements agree well with the low Nu reported by Demsis et al. (2009) when the Nu is obtained using their procedure; additionally, the measurements reveal the importance of end effects in determining the Nusselt number in rarefied gases. The Nusselt number obtained in the present experiments tends to zero with increasing axial conduction. Nu shows a weak dependence on Knudsen number for the range investigated here (0.001 < Kn < 0.012).

Abstract: The marine mud snail, Tritia (=Ilyanassa) obsoleta, displays a biphasic life cycle. During the initial phase of early development, embryos hatch from benthic egg capsules to become weakly swimming veliger larvae. In the second phase, adult T. obsoleta are facultative carnivores and major agents of community disturbance. Metamorphosis is the irreversible developmental event that links these two life history stages. When physiologically competent, larvae can respond to appropriate environmental cues by settling onto their mudflat habitat and transforming themselves into miniature adult snails. Two neurotransmitters-serotonin and nitric oxide-have opposing effects on the metamorphic process in this species. In multiple other species of gastropod and bivalve molluscs, a third neurotransmitter, the classically inhibitory compound γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), can induce settlement or metamorphosis upon external application to competent larvae. In this situation, GABA is presumed to mimic the action of ligands from the juvenile environment that bind to larval chemosensory receptors and activate the metamorphic pathway. Results of our experiments contradict this commonly reported action of GABA on molluscan larvae. External application of GABA to competent larvae of T. obsoleta elicited no response, but instead attenuated the action of serotonin (5-HT), a metamorphic inducer. Our investigations into the responses of larval T. obsoleta to multiple GABAergic reagents support our hypothesis that GABA functions internally as a neurotransmitter in the pathway that controls the initiation of metamorphosis. Our results also suggest that GABA acts directly on or downstream from serotonergic neurons to regulate the metamorphosis-inducing effects of this neurotransmitter. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract: The bioavailability of the antihypertensive drug valsartan can be enhanced by various microencapsulation methods. In the present investigation, valsartan-loaded polymeric nanoparticles were manufactured from Eudragit® RLPO using an emulsion–solvent evaporation method. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was found to be a suitable stabilizer for the nanoparticles, resulting in a monodisperse colloid system ranging in size between 148 nm and 162 nm. Additionally, a high encapsulation efficiency (96.4%) was observed. However, due to the quaternary ammonium groups of Eudragit® RLPO, the stabilization of the dispersion could be achieved in the absence of PVA as well. The nanoparticles were reduced in size (by 22%) and exhibited similar encapsulation efficiencies (96.4%). This more cost-effective and sustainable production method reduces the use of excipients and their expected emission into the environment. The drug release from valsartan-loaded nanoparticles was evaluated in a two-stage biorelevant dissolution set-up, leading to the rapid dissolution of valsartan in a simulated intestinal medium. In silico simulations using a model validated previously indicate a potential dose reduction of 60–70% compared to existing drug products. This further reduces the expected emission of the ecotoxic compound into the environment.

Abstract: Background The aim of this pragmatic, embedded adaptive trial was to measure the effectiveness of subcutaneous sarilumab in addition to an evolving standard of care for clinical management of inpatients with moderate to severe COVID-19 disease (NCT04359901). The study is also a real-world demonstration of the realization of a prospective learning healthcare system. Methods Two-arm, randomized, open-label controlled 5-center trial comparing standard care alone to standard care (SOC), which evolved over time, with addition of subcutaneous sarilumab (200 mg or 400 mg anti-IL6R) among hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 not requiring mechanical ventilation. The primary outcome was 14-day incidence of intubation or death. The trial used a randomized play-the-winner design and was fully embedded within the EHR system, including the adaptive randomization process. Results Among 417 patients screened, 162 were eligible based on chart review, 53 consented, and 50 were evaluated for the primary endpoint of intubation or death ( >30% of eligible patients enrolled) (Figure 1). After the second interim review, the unblinded Data Monitoring Committee recommended that the study be stopped due to concern for safety: a high probability that rates of intubation or death were higher with addition of sarilumab to SOC (92.6%), and a very low probability (3.4%) that sarilumab would be found to be superior. Figure 1. Key Study Milestones, Outcomes, and Adaptations Conclusion This randomized trial of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and requiring supplemental oxygen but not mechanical ventilation found no evidence of benefit from subcutaneous sarilumab in addition to an evolving standard-of-care. The numbers of patients and events were too low to allow independent conclusions to be drawn, but this study contributes valuable information about the role of subcutaneous IL-6 inhibition in the treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The major innovation of this trial was the advancement of embedded, point-of-care clinical trials for FDA-approved drugs; this represents a realization of the learning healthcare system. Methods developed and piloted during the conduct of this trial can be used in future investigations to speed the advancement of clinical science.

Subjects: Digital media--Social aspects, Internet--Social aspects, Deception, Feminist theory, Information society
Abstract: More important than flagging things “really fake” is to understand why they are dismissed as fake The new truth is the one that circulates: digital truth emerges from lists, databases, archives, and conditions of storage. Multiple truths may be activated through search, link, and retrieve queries. Alexandra Juhasz, Ganaele Langlois, and Nishant Shah respond by taking up story, poetry, and other human logics of care, intelligence, and dignity to explore sociotechnological and politico-aesthetic emergences in a world where information overload has become a new ontology of not-knowing. Their feminist digital methods allow considerations of internet things through alternative networked internet time: slowing down to see, honor, and engage with our past; invoking indeterminacy as a human capacity that lets multiple truths commingle on a page or in a body; and saving the truths of ourselves and our others differently from the corporate internet's perpetual viral movement. Writing across their own shared truisms, actors, and touchstones, the authors propose creative tactics, theoretical overtures, and experimental escape routes built to a human scale as ways to regain our capacities to know and tell truths about ourselves.

Abstract: Background: The optimal timing of repair of complete atrioventricular canal defect (CAVC) remains uncertain. When early repair is indicated due to clinical conditions, patients may be potentially exposed to excess morbidity or mortality. We reviewed our experience with repair of CAVC to determine the influence of age on outcomes. Methods: The study included 48 patients who underwent repair of CAVC at our institution from 2004 to 2014. To assess the association of age at surgery with outcomes, logistic regression models were fit to binary outcomes and linear regression models were fit for continuous outcomes. Age at surgery was dichotomized into early (≤90 days; n = 18) and late repair (>90 days; n = 30). Chi-square and two-sample t tests were used to compare early to late repair with respect to patient characteristics and outcomes. Results: Patient characteristics were similar except for mean weight at surgery (3.9 vs 4.6 kg) and presence of greater than equal to moderate left atrioventricular valve regurgitation (LAVVR; 1 vs 11). When assessed by continuous scale or dichotomized at 90 days, there was no association of age at repair with outcomes including median bypass and clamp times, need for pacemaker implantation, pulmonary hypertension requiring oxygen and/or medication, median length of stay, incidence of greater than equal to moderate LAVVR at discharge, and rate of reoperation for LAVVR. Freedom from greater than equal to moderate LAVVR was similar between the groups at latest follow-up. Conclusion: Contemporary repair of CAVC is associated with low mortality and favorable outcomes. In the presence of clear signs of congestive heart failure, primary repair can be safely accomplished in patients under three months of age.

Abstract: The mainstream discourse focuses on predictive algorithms of probability as a measure of responsibility and culpability for digitally mediated activism. Bodies that threaten to disrupt the seamlessness of events are seen as problematic. The expected response is to contain this overflow into physical spaces and to restrict their excesses to the online platforms. This essay argues that this separation of zones of affective excess signals a shift in how we understand the body, publicness and punishment in the face of ubiquitous digitality. It confronts this ‘cleansing’ acts of algorithmic regulation with a case study of the #KissOfLove campaign from India to show how the expected tropes that deal with concerns of safety of the body, the separation and weaving together of the digital and physical spaces, and the affordances provided by regulation and policy often unquestioningly mark bodies and spaces as overflowing and hence in need of curation, containment and cleansing. Building upon the narratives of technologised nation building in India, it complicates the terrain of the overflow, showing that a ‘technoaffective’ framework might lead to unpacking the ways in which selected bodies are rendered culpable and are forced to bear the marks of punishment in an emerging technosocial landscape.

Abstract: Building capacity for contraceptive services in primary care settings, including for intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants, can help to broaden contraceptive access across the US. Following a randomized trial in family planning clinics, we brought a provider training intervention to other clinical settings including primary care in all regions. This implementation science study evaluates a national scale-up of a contraceptive training intervention to varied practice settings from 2013 to 2019 among 3216 clinic staff serving an estimated 1.6 million annual contraceptive patients. We measured providers' knowledge and clinical practice changes regarding IUDs and implants using survey data. We estimated the overall intervention effect, and its relative effectiveness in primary care settings, with generalized estimating equations for clustered data. Patient-centered counseling improved, along with comfort with method provision and removal. Provider knowledge increased (p&nbsp

Abstract: The American College of Cardiology's Executive Committee and Cardiovascular Imaging Section Leadership Council convened a discussion regarding the future of cardiac imaging among thought leaders in the field during a 2 day Think Tank. Participants were charged with thinking broadly about the future of imaging and developing a roadmap to address critical challenges. Key areas of discussion included: 1) how can cardiac imaging services thrive in our new world of value-based health care? 2) Who is the cardiac imager of the future and what is the role of the multimodality imager? 3) How can we nurture innovation and research in imaging? And 4) how can we maximize imaging information and optimize outcomes? This document describes the proceedings of this Think Tank.
