Abstract
Cellular senescence is one of the important mechanisms of skin aging. In a recent study, we have shown that in patients with dermatoporosis, an extreme senescence condition of the skin, cells positive for p16Ink4a, a biomarker of senescence, were significantly increased in the epidermis. Senescent cells can develop a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) comprising pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and other soluble factors, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue dysfunction. These senescent cells and SASP pathways represent therapeutic targets for the development of senotherapeutics either by inducing selective cell death of senescent cells called senolytics, or suppressing markers of the SASP, called senomorphics. In this study where we conducted a retrospective immunohistochemical analysis of p16Ink4a expression in the skin samples of dermatoporosis patients included in a previous clinical study, we describe the senotherapeutic effect of retinaldehyde (RAL) and intermediate-size hyaluronate fragments (HAFi). Topical application of RAL and HAFi significantly reduced the number of p16Ink4a-positive cells in the epidermis and dermis in dermatoporosis patients which also showed a significant clinical improvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sex can be determined with high accuracy in forensic anthropology, additional parameters are still required. AIM To estimate with known simple statistical methods, the usability of the bi-humerus/maximum pelvic breadth ratio in sex estimation. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Bi-humerus breadth and maximum pelvic breadth were measured using the topogram images (196 males, 171 females), the ratio between them was calculated. We examined the usability of the ratio of the distance between the lateral edges of the right and left humeral heads to the maximum distance between the two most lateral parts of the iliac crests in sex estimation. RESULTS There was significant difference in the bi-humerus breadth and "bi-humerus breadth/maximum pelvic breadth" according to sex. The greatest breadth of the pelvis was higher in females, yet the difference was not statistically significant. The ratio yielded 80.6%-90.3% accuracy for females and 73.6%-74.7% for males, depending on arm position. CONCLUSIONS The obtained data may contribute to the development of formulas created with metric measurements used in sex estimation. This can be used as a parameter to help in estimating the sex of skeletal remains found as a whole or excavated without losing their integrity, and also in the reconstruction of body structure.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate serum homocysteine and nitric oxide levels in cats with Feline Infectious Peritonitis and present some biochemical and pathological alterations related to the disease. The animal material of this study consisted of thirty Turkish Van Cats of different ages and genders that were definitely diagnosed with the disease by post-mortem examinations and immunohistochemistry. The control group consisted of 6 healthy Turkish Van Cats of different ages and genders that were brought for routine clinical examination. Cats in the study group had clinical findings such as loss of appetite, weight loss, high fever, fever not reduced despite antibiotics, jaundice, dehydration, vomiting, respiratory system symptoms, anemia, nervous findings, uveitis, and ascites. These cats were monitored and following the death, post-mortem examinations were performed and cases with a definitive diagnosis were included in the study. Among the cats consisting study group, while 25 had the dry form of the disease, 5 had wet form. According to the hematological results, there was a statistically significant reduction in platelet counts. The biochemical results showed statistically significant alterations that creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase myocardial band, homocysteine, and nitric oxide concentrations were higher than the control group. Besides albumin concentrations were lower and the albumin/globulin ratio was 0.53. As a result; this is the first detailed study in Turkish Van Cats with Feline Infectious Peritonitis that evaluated clinical, hematological, biochemical, and pathological findings. Furthermore, serum homocysteine and nitric oxide levels were evaluated for the first time in cats with vasculitis which is the most important complication of the disease. It is concluded that the evaluation of serum homocysteine and nitric oxide concentrations in Feline Infectious Peritonitis may assist the antemortem diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chiari type 1 malformation (CMI) is a disorder in which cerebellar tonsils descend below the foramen magnum. Although syringomyelia associated with CMI thought to be caused by hypoplastic posterior fossa and stenosis at the craniocervical junction; it has characteristic neurological and radiological features and the exact mechanism of syringomyelia remains unknown. PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to gain insight into morphological changes in posterior fossa and to find whether there is a difference in aqueductal stroke volume (ASV) between CMI with syrinx and without syrinx which may be an underlying mechanism of syrinx development. MATERIALS AND METHODS We consecutively evaluated 85 patients with Chiari malformation between January 2017 and December 2019 who had undergone phase-contrast MRI examination for CSF flow and between 18-60-years-old. We divided patients into two groups as subjects with syrinx (n=19) and without syrinx (n=66). After evaluating morphological changes, peak and average velocity (cm/s), forward and reverse flow volume (μl), net forward flow volume (μl), ASV (aqueductal stroke volume) (μl), aqueductus Sylvi (AS) area (mm2), and prepontine cistern diameter to AS diameter ratio (PPC/AS) were calculated. Distribution of variables from two groups was evaluated by using Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Independent t test was used for groups comparison. RESULTS The forward and reverse volumes were statistically significantly higher in patients with syrinx (P=0.021, P=0.005 respectively). ASV was significantly increased in patients with syringomyelia (P=0.014). The PPC/AS was significantly lower in patients with syrinx compared to those without (P <0.001). AS area was significantly larger in those with syrinx. (P=0.022). The diameter of foramen magnum was significantly lower in patients with syrinx than those without (P <0.0001). The diameter of the herniated tonsilla at the foramen magnum level was found to be significantly lower in those with syrinx (P=0.011). CONCLUSION Foramen magnum diameter, ASV, diameter of herniated tonsil, and PPC/AS ratio are important factors in syrinx development.

Abstract
AIMS Iatrogenic cardiac perforation is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication of invasive cardiac procedures. When non-surgical management fails, urgent cardiac surgery is required. Standard surgical approach is usually through full sternotomy. However, we propose a less invasive and equally effective technique with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). METHODS This single-centre retrospective study in a tertiary hospital identified all patients requiring surgical intervention due to iatrogenic cardiac perforation over a period of 5 years. Patients were grouped by surgical approach, being either sternotomy or VATS. Primary endpoints were operating time, length of ICU stay, hospital stay, 30-day mortality and all round mortality. RESULTS 25 patients were identified: 11 in the sternotomy-group and 14 in the VATS-group. Preoperative baseline characteristics were equal. Significant difference was found for 30-day mortality (p < 0.05). There was no difference for the other endpoints. CONCLUSIONS Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a promising alternative to standard sternotomy for iatrogenic cardiac perforations after invasive cardiac procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features and survival of CD, which is quite rare and has many unknowns. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was conducted by retrospectively evaluating patients diagnosed with CD in six different centers in Turkey. RESULTS The median age of 33 patients included in the study was 49 and 51.5% (n = 17) of these patients were women. 18 (54.5%) patients were in the hyaline vascular subtype and most of the patients were UCD (n = 20, 60.6%). The most common involvement region was head and neck (n = 19, 57.5%). The UCD group was younger than the MCD group (p=0.027). Visceral lymph node involvement was higher in MCD than in UCD (p=0.001). Similarly, it was observed that there was more hepatomegaly (p=0.035) and splenomegaly (p=0.013) in the MCD group. During the median 19.5 months follow-up period, there were no patients who died. CONCLUSIONS It was observed that UCD and MCD are different clinical entities. Promising survival times can be achieved with surgical and systemic treatments in both subtypes of this extremely rare disease. However, this result should be supported by well-designed prospective comprehensive studies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inflammatory markers are significantly associated with cardiovascular disease and many markers have been used as predictor in patients with STEMI. This study examines the predictive value of the novel systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Method
A total of 1660 patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention in a tertiary heart center were enrolled in the study. SII was calculated using the following formula: Platelet × Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio. The patients were stratified into four quartiles (Q) according to admission SII level. In-hospital and 3-year outcomes were compared between the four groups (Q1–4)
Results
In-hospital cardiogenic shock, acute respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, ventricular arrhythmia, stent thrombosis, recurrent myocardial infarction, major adverse cardiac events, and mortality were significantly higher in the high SII groups (Q3 and Q4). Logistic regression models demonstrated that Q3 and Q4 had independent risk of mortality and Q4 had an independent risk of cardiogenic shock compared to Q1. ROC analysis showed that the best cut-off value of the Systemic Immune-Inflammatory Index to predict the in-hospital mortality was 1781 with 66% sensitivity and 74% specificity (AUC: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.69–0.81; p<0.001). Kaplan Meier overall survivals for Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 were 97.6%, 96.9%, 91.6% and 81.0% respectively. Cox proportional analysis for 3-year mortality demonstrated that Q3 and Q4 had independent risk of death compared to Q1.
Conclusion
SII, a novel inflammatory index, had a better prediction of in-hospital and long-term outcomes than traditional risk factors in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effect of symptoms of diabetes on the quality of life of individuals with Type 2 diabetes. METHOD The study used a cross-sectional design. No sampling procedure was employed in the study; instead, 410 individuals presenting to the Balikesir Atatürk City Hospital Endocrinology and Internal Medicine Polyclinics between December 2016 and July 2017, diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study sample. The study data were collected with a "Socio-demographic Characteristics Questionnaire", the "Diabetes Symptom Checklist", and the "SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire". RESULTS The participants obtained the highest mean scores from the hyperglycemia subscale of the Diabetes Symptoms Checklist (3.35±0.60) and the mental health subscale of the SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire (50.65±8.10). The hypoglycemia, cardiology, psychology, and neurology variables included in the model were statistically significant and predicted 35% of the mental subscale score of the SF 36 questionnaire. SF 36 physical subscale score increased as the hypoglycemia, cardiology, psychology, and neurology scores decreased (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The participants obtained high scores from the hyperglycemia subscale of the diabetes symptom checklist and mental health subscale of the quality of life questionnaire. Diabetes symptoms were found to affect the quality of life of individuals with diabetes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac surgery is still looking for new minimally invasive techniques with less trauma and better cosmetic results. In the field of aortic valve replacement, several types of less invasive procedures were introduced, allowing a reduction in blood loss, infections, ventilation times, morbidity and mortality. The most common technique for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement is the mini-sternotomy approach. In this report, the initial experience with a non-sternotomy approach for aortic valve replacement by means of a totally endoscopic surgical technique is presented.
Methods
The totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement was carried out in 201 patients (59,7% males, mean age: 71.6±11.7 years) from October 2017 until October 2019. Severe aortic valve stenosis was the surgical indication for all patients, who had a mean EuroSCORE II of 2.35±3.82. The surgery was carried out with the patient in supine position and a standard zero-degree optics was used. A 20 mm working port in the 2nd right intercostal space and two 5 mm trocars gained access to the aorta. After groin cannulation, cardiopulmonary bypass was initiated. Transthoracic aortic cross-clamping followed by antegrade administration of a single shot cold mixed-blood cardioplegia was assessed. The aortotomy was followed by the excision of the stenotic aortic valve and the aortic valve prosthesis was implanted in supra-annular position. After the closure of the aorta, an external pacemaker wire was placed.
Results
Mean cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times were 62±14 and 94±25 minutes, respectively. No conversion to a sternotomy was needed. The mean length of stay at the intensive care unit was 69.4±149.6 hours while patients spend 9.6±10 days at the hospital. Due to our new fast track protocol, the mean hospital stay in the last two months was 6.1 days (26 patients, 12.9%). The average postoperative blood loss (24h) was 251±298 mL and the patients were ventilated for 6.9±9 hours. In 10 patients (4.9%), re-exploration in an endoscopic way was needed. None of them had a surgical bleeding focus. No paravalvular leakages were detected at discharge. 69 patients (34.7%) developed atrial fibrillation after surgery. In addition, 10 patients (4.9%) underwent a pacemaker implantation postoperatively whereas 4 patients (1.9%) suffered from a CVA. Finally, the 30-day mortality was 2.0%.
Conclusion
These results concerning the feasibility and safety of totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement are promising. The aortic cross clamping times are acceptable, and the morbidity and mortality rates are low. Long term results are needed to confirm these initial findings.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Treatment of three-vessel coronary disease in minimally invasive manner could be complex in some cases. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) gives good patency rates which outlive vein grafts. The hybrid approach, combination of PCI with minimally invasive endoscopic coronary artery bypass graft (endo-CABG), might be a valuable option for treatment of multivessel coronary disease. Hereby we describe our series of patients undergoing arterial revascularization of the anterior and/or lateral wall combined with PCI of the right coronary artery or a marginal branch.
Methods
From March 2013 until December 2019, 208 patients (82.2% males, mean age: 66.69±10.44 years) underwent hybrid coronary revascularization for multivessel disease. Patients with multivessel disease suitable for hybrid approach were accepted at the heart team. All patients received total arterial revascularisation by endo-CABG. The PCI was prior or after the endo-CABG. There was no discontinuation of dual platelet therapy. Uni or bilateral internal mammary artery (IMA) harvesting was performed through three 5mm endoscopic ports in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th intercostal space. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established using a minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) with groin cannulation. Transthoracic aortic cross-clamping was followed by antegrade administration of a single shot cold mixed blood cardioplegia. A utility port of three centimeter was used for direct vision anastomosis.
Results
The procedure was successful in all patients, requiring no conversion to full sternotomy. Mean cross-clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass times were 44.38±28.33 and 91.75±37.97 minutes, respectively, with a mean of 2.1±0.91 bypasses for each patient. All patients received total arterial revascularization. The mean ICU and hospital length of stay were 62.5±39.74 hours and 8.80±4.64 days, respectively. Average postoperative blood loss over 24 hours was 555.20±859.19 mL. There were 8 re-interventions on the target vessels (3.8%) and 2 patients suffered from a stroke (1%). The 30-day mortality rate was 0.5%.
Conclusion
Minimally invasive hybrid arterial coronary revascularization is a safe and valuable alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting in many patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. The endo-CABG is a safe and feasible technique without compromising operative morbidity and providing good postoperative results.

Abstract
In recent weeks, several reports have emerged of skin lesions with different clinical presentations in COVID-19 cases. All dermatologists should be aware of these cutaneous lesions, which may be early clinical symptoms of infection. We reviewed the literature on cutaneous manifestations in the PubMed database from December 2019 and June 2020. From the cases described as case reports or series in 57 recent articles, it appears that skin lesions (i) are highly varied, (ii) may not be related to the severity of the condition and (iii) resolve spontaneously in a few days. The frequency of these lesions in COVID-19 patients varies between 1.8% and 20.4%. The major clinical forms described were maculopapular eruptions, acral areas of erythema with vesicles or pustules (pseudochilblain), urticarial lesions, other vesicular eruptions and livedo or necrosis. The lesions were mainly localized in the trunk and extremities. The majority of patients were male, aged between 4.5 and 89 years. A minority of the patients were children presenting with acral, chilblain-like lesions, papulo-vesicular eruptions or Kawasaki disease-like pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome. The mean duration of the lesions was a few days, but some lasting as little as 20 min and others as long as four weeks have been reported. The mean latency time in the majority of cases was between 1 and 14 days; however, in some patients, lesions appeared 2 to 5 days before the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. The histopathological features of these lesions also vary, corresponding to the diversity of clinical manifestations. These features underline the nature of epidermal and dermal vascular lesions-and in severe cases, microvascular injury and thrombosis-associated with COVID-19, and provide important clues to their pathological mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the results of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2012 to December 2017 in 523 intensive care units (ICUs) in 45 countries from Latin America, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and Western Pacific. METHODS During the 6-year study period, prospective data from 532,483 ICU patients hospitalized in 242 hospitals, for an aggregate of 2,197,304 patient days, were collected through the INICC Surveillance Online System (ISOS). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-National Healthcare Safety Network (CDC-NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI) were applied. RESULTS Although device use in INICC ICUs was similar to that reported from CDC-NHSN ICUs, DA-HAI rates were higher in the INICC ICUs: in the medical-surgical ICUs, the pooled central line-associated bloodstream infection rate was higher (5.05 vs 0.8 per 1,000 central line-days); the ventilator-associated pneumonia rate was also higher (14.1 vs 0.9 per 1,000 ventilator-days,), as well as the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.1 vs 1.7 per 1,000 catheter-days). From blood cultures samples, frequencies of resistance, such as of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to piperacillin-tazobactam (33.0% vs 18.3%), were also higher. CONCLUSIONS Despite a significant trend toward the reduction in INICC ICUs, DA-HAI rates are still much higher compared with CDC-NHSN's ICUs representing the developed world. It is INICC's main goal to provide basic and cost-effective resources, through the INICC Surveillance Online System to tackle the burden of DA-HAIs effectively.

Abstract
Background Subfertility decreases the efficiency of the cattle industry because artificial insemination employs spermatozoa from a single bull to inseminate thousands of cows. Variation in bull fertility has been demonstrated even among those animals exhibiting normal sperm numbers, motility, and morphology. Despite advances in research, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the causes of low fertility in some bulls have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the metabolic profile of bull spermatozoa using non-targeted metabolomics. Statistical analysis and bioinformatic tools were employed to evaluate the metabolic profiles high and low fertility groups. Metabolic pathways associated with the sperm metabolome were also reported. Results A total of 22 distinct metabolites were detected in spermatozoa from bulls with high fertility (HF) or low fertility (LF) phenotype. The major metabolite classes of bovine sperm were organic acids/derivatives and fatty acids/conjugates. We demonstrated that the abundance ratios of five sperm metabolites were statistically different between HF and LF groups including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), carbamate, benzoic acid, lactic acid, and palmitic acid. Metabolites with different abundances in HF and LF bulls had also VIP scores of greater than 1.5 and AUC- ROC curves of more than 80%. In addition, four metabolic pathways associated with differential metabolites namely alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, β-alanine metabolism, glycolysis or gluconeogenesis, and pyruvate metabolism were also explored. Conclusions This is the first study aimed at ascertaining the metabolome of spermatozoa from bulls with different fertility phenotype using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We identified five metabolites in the two groups of sires and such molecules can be used, in the future, as key indicators of bull fertility.

Abstract
Hyaluronate (HA) plays a major role in the process of skin aging. The main use of HA has been for hydration and dermal fillers. Another approach, based on the discovery of the signaling effects of topically applied hyaluronate fragments (HAF), has subsequently been developed. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that topical applications of HAF of a very specific size induce HA filling of the epidermis and the upper dermis. These effects are particularly visible in dermatoporotic patients. Moreover, the combination of HA-based filler injections with topical applications of HAFs/retinoids showed an optimization of the effects of HA. Thus, a new classification of the different effects of HA is proposed here.

Abstract
Sub-fertility fertility in bulls decreases the efficiency and profitability of cattle production because AI allows a single bull to inseminate thousands of cows. In recent decades, there has been a general decline in fertility of bulls, even among those exhibiting normal sperm motility and morphology. Despite advances in technology and knowledge, molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying the causes of low fertility in bulls are currently unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify sperm metabolites associated with fertility in Holstein bulls. The metabolome of sperm from 10 mature bulls with high fertility (HF, n=5) and low fertility (LF, n=5) was identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Bull fertility was based on the sire conception rates deviating from the average. Statistical analysis was performed by using MetaboAnalyst 3.0 (http://www.metaboanalyst.ca/). A total of 22 metabolites were detected and categorized according to their major chemical classes, including amino acids, peptides/analogues, carbohydrates/carbohydrate conjugates, fatty acids, steroids/steroid derivatives, keto acids and derivatives, carboxylic acids, and other organic and inorganic compounds. Organic acids and derivatives as well as fatty acids were the major compounds in bull spermatozoa. Seven organic acids and derivatives were detected, including benzoic acid, carbonate, carbamate dimethyl, carbamate trimethyl, lactic acid, oxalic acid, and urea. Five fatty acids were identified including oleic acid, oleanitrile, nonanoic acid, and palmitic acid. Oleic acid, phosphoric acid, phosphine, carbamate trimethyl, and glycerol were the most abundant metabolites in bull sperm, whereas benzoic acid, acetic acid, l-serine, carbamate, and 2-ketobutyric acid were the least predominant metabolites present in bull sperm. Multivariate analysis (partial least squares-discriminant analysis) of the sperm metabolome showed a clear separation between HF and LF bulls. Variable importance in projection (VIP) score demonstrated that metabolites with VIP >1.5 were gamma-aminobutyric acid (VIP=2.01), carbamate trimethyl (VIP=1.88), benzoic acid (VIP=1.86), and lactic acid (VIP=1.81). Abundance ratios of gamma-aminobutyric acid, carbamate trimethyl, benzoic acid, and lactic acid was greater in HF bulls compared with LF animals. According to univariate analysis, abundance ratios of gamma-aminobutyric acid (P=0.03) and carbamate trimethyl (P=0.047) were greater in HF than in LF bulls. Gamma-aminobutyric acid was positively correlated with carbamate trimethyl (r=0.94; P<0.0001) and benzoic acid (r=0.74; P=0.0139). Benzoic acid was positively correlated with carbamate trimethyl (r=0.75; P=0.0107) and carbamate dimethyl (r=0.68; P=0.0274). The identified metabolites can serve as potential markers to evaluate semen quality and predict bull fertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the implementation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in lower-risk patients, evaluation of blood flow characteristics and the effect of TAVR on aortic dilatation becomes of considerable interest. We employed 4D flow MRI in the ascending aorta of patients after TAVR to assess wall shear stress (WSS) and compare blood flow patterns with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and age- and gender-matched controls. METHODS Fourteen post-TAVR patients and ten age- and gender-matched controls underwent kt-PCA accelerated 4D flow MRI of the thoracic aorta at 3.0 Tesla. Velocity and wall shear stress was compared between the two groups. In addition, aortic flow eccentricity and displacement was assessed and compared between TAVR patients, controls and 14 SAVR patients recruited as part of an earlier study. RESULTS Compared to controls, abnormally elevated WSS was present in 30±10% of the ascending aortic wall in TAVR patients. Increased WSS was present along the posterior mid-ascending aorta and the anterior distal-ascending aorta in all TAVR patients. TAVR results in eccentric and displaced flow in the mid- and distal-ascending aorta, whereas blood flow displacement in SAVR patients occurs only in the distal-ascending aorta. CONCLUSION This study shows that TAVR results in increased blood flow velocity and WSS in the ascending aorta compared to age- and gender-matched elderly controls. This finding warrants longitudinal assessment of aortic dilatation after TAVR in the era of potential TAVR in lower-risk patients. Additionally, TAVR results in altered blood flow eccentricity and displacement in the mid- and distal-ascending aorta, whereas SAVR only results in altered blood flow eccentricity and displacement in the distal-ascending aorta. KEY POINTS • TAVR results in increased blood flow velocity and WSS in the ascending aorta. • Longitudinal assessment of aortic dilatation after TAVR is warranted in the era of potential TAVR in lower-risk patients. • Both TAVR and SAVR result in altered blood flow patterns in the ascending aorta when compared to age-matched controls.

Abstract
Aim In the evolving field of transcatheter aortic valve implantations (TAVI) we aimed to gain insight into trends in patient and procedural characteristics as well as clinical outcome over an 8‑year period in a real-world TAVI population. Methods We performed a single-centre retrospective analysis of 1,011 consecutive patients in a prospectively acquired database. We divided the cohort into tertiles of 337 patients; first interval: January 2009–March 2013, second interval: March 2013–March 2015, third interval: March 2015–October 2016. Results Over time, a clear shift in patient selection was noticeable towards lower surgical risks including Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality score and comorbidity. The frequency of transfemoral TAVI increased (from 66.5 to 77.4%, p = 0.0015). Device success improved (from 62.0 to 91.5%, p < 0.0001) as did the frequency of symptomatic relief (≥1 New York Heart Association class difference) (from 73.8 to 87.1%, p = 0.00025). Complication rates decreased, including in-hospital stroke (from 5.0 to 2.1%, p = 0.033) and pacemaker implantations (from 10.1 to 5.9%, p = 0.033). Thirty-day mortality decreased (from 11.0 to 2.4%, p < 0.0001); after adjustment for patient characteristics, a mortality-risk reduction of 72% was observed (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13–0.62). One-year mortality rates decreased (from 23.4 to 11.4%), but this was no longer significant after a landmark point was set at 30 days (mortality from 31 days until 1 year) (adjusted HR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.41–1.16, p = 0.16). Conclusion A clear shift towards a lower-risk TAVI population and improved clinical outcome was observed over an 8‑year period. Survival after TAVI improved impressively, mainly as a consequence of decreased 30-day mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the evolution of the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) to placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio in women with suspected or confirmed pre-eclampsia (PE), and to investigate the changes in sFlt-1 and PlGF levels in pre-eclamptic women after delivery. METHODS This was an exploratory study in which secondary analysis was performed on a prospective cohort study that enrolled women with a singleton pregnancy and suspected or confirmed PE from 18 weeks' gestation, carried out between December 2013 and April 2016 at the Department of Obstetrics of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. sFlt-1 and PlGF were determined using Roche Diagnostics Elecsys assays in two groups of patients. In the first group, patients with suspected or confirmed PE had sFlt-1 and PlGF levels measured at least twice during their pregnancy. Changes in these biomarkers over the course of pregnancy were compared for patients in this group with a baseline sFlt-1/PlGF ratio of ≤ 38 and for those with a ratio > 38. In the second group, sFlt-1 and PlGF levels of women with PE or HELLP syndrome were measured before and after delivery. For this group, pre- and postpartum sFlt-1 and PlGF levels were compared and half-lives were calculated. RESULTS Women with suspected or confirmed PE for whom sFlt-1 and PlGF levels were measured at least twice during pregnancy (n = 46) had a median gestational age at inclusion of 26 weeks (range, 18-40 weeks). In 27 of the 30 patients with sFlt-1/PlGF ratio ≤ 38 at baseline, thereby ruling out PE, the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio remained stable for up to 100 days. In the remaining three patients with a ratio ≤ 38 and in most of the 16 patients with a ratio > 38, the ratio increased further. For women diagnosed with PE or HELLP syndrome for whom sFlt-1 and PlGF levels were measured before and after delivery (n = 26), median gestational age at inclusion was 29 weeks (range, 16-37 weeks) and median time between antepartum measurement and delivery was 2 days (range, 1-17 days). In this group, after delivery, sFlt-1 dropped to < 1% of its pre-delivery value, with a half-life of 1.4 ± 0.3 days, while PlGF dropped to ∼30% of its pre-delivery value, with a half-life of 3.7 ± 4.3 days. CONCLUSIONS Based on this small cohort, up to 10% of pregnant women admitted with suspected or confirmed PE presenting with a sFlt-1/PlGF ratio of ≤ 38 display a rise in sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in subsequent weeks, implying that repeat determination of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio is required to exclude definitively a diagnosis of PE. Furthermore, the rapid and pronounced decline in sFlt-1 levels after delivery in patients with PE/HELLP syndrome suggests that sFlt-1, in contrast to PlGF, is almost entirely derived from the placenta.

Abstract
This study was aimed to demonstrate the specific anatomical features of the skull bones of Nehring's blind mole rats. Eight skulls, belonging to animals of both sexes, were used. The occipital squama contributed to the formation of the caudal portion of the skull roof. The foramen magnum was quite large. The external occipital crest was present only in the males. The parietal bones formed the middle portion of the skull roof together with the well-developed inter-parietal bones. The zygomatic process of the temporal bone formed the zygomatic arch by extending to the temporal process of the zygomatic bone. The zygomatic process of the frontal bone and the frontal process of the zygomatic bone laterally bordered the orbit. There was a single septal process of the nasal bone. Each ramus of the mandibula had four processes. The mandibular ramus had an angular process on its caudal rim, which extended dorsolaterally. The dorsal free end of the mandibular ramus possessed a coronoid process. In the back, there were two other processes, situated medially and laterally. The medially situated process was referred to as a condylar process, and the laterally situated process was referred to as an alveolar process. The alveolar process detected on the mandibular ramus has not been reported in any rodent species, other than those of the family Spalacidae. Blind mole rats can be a real eye-opener for evolutionary science. The burrowing rodents are key to answering a controversial question about how new species arise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Influenza is an infectious disease, dangerous for all people, especially for some risk groups such as patients with chronic diseases and health care workers. But most of the people under the risk of influenza, including health care workers are not immunised because of misinformation. In this study, we aimed to determine the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma and parents of such children related to influenza vaccination. Attitudes and beliefs of physicians treating these patients about influenza vaccination were also investigated. METHODS Two different questionnaires consisting of various items related to influenza vaccine were distributed to physicians and patients and parents of children with asthma and allergic disease. RESULTS The physicians group consisted of 189 physicians from various branches. About one third of physicians from various branches reported that they did not believe the vaccine's effectiveness. Most of the participating physicians did not immunise themselves with influenza vaccination despite the fact that any patient of theirs had died due to influenza infection. Although nearly half of the 183 patients had been vaccinated with influenza vaccine, only 27% of adults and 11.7% of children had been vaccinated annually. CONCLUSIONS Asthmatic patients are not immunised regularly with influenza vaccine due to misperceptions about vaccine effectiveness and fear of adverse effects. Another important reason of this is that most the physicians caring for these patients neither immunise themselves nor recommend the vaccine to their patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The prognostic impact of poor nutritional status and cardiac cachexia in myocardial infarction is not clearly understood. Recent studies have implied a prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in colorectal surgeries and postoperative septic complications. The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of PNI in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the in-hospital and long-term (3 years) prognostic impact of PNI on 1823 patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients with lower PNI had significantly higher in-hospital and long-term mortality and major adverse cardiac events. After adjustment for all confounders, the in-hospital mortality rates were 7.9 times higher at the lower PNI level (95% CI: 5.0-15.8) than those at the higher PNI level. The long-term mortality rates were also 6.4 times higher at the lower PNI level (95% CI: 4.4-12.4) than those at the higher PNI level. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated that the PNI, calculated based on the serum albumin level and lymphocyte count, is an independent prognostic factor for mortality in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the results of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2010-December 2015 in 703 intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and Western Pacific. METHODS During the 6-year study period, using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network (CDC-NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI), we collected prospective data from 861,284 patients hospitalized in INICC hospital ICUs for an aggregate of 3,506,562 days. RESULTS Although device use in INICC ICUs was similar to that reported from CDC-NHSN ICUs, DA-HAI rates were higher in the INICC ICUs: in the INICC medical-surgical ICUs, the pooled rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection, 4.1 per 1,000 central line-days, was nearly 5-fold higher than the 0.8 per 1,000 central line-days reported from comparable US ICUs, the overall rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was also higher, 13.1 versus 0.9 per 1,000 ventilator-days, as was the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection, 5.07 versus 1.7 per 1,000 catheter-days. From blood cultures samples, frequencies of resistance of Pseudomonas isolates to amikacin (29.87% vs 10%) and to imipenem (44.3% vs 26.1%), and of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to ceftazidime (73.2% vs 28.8%) and to imipenem (43.27% vs 12.8%) were also higher in the INICC ICUs compared with CDC-NHSN ICUs. CONCLUSIONS Although DA-HAIs in INICC ICU patients continue to be higher than the rates reported in CDC-NSHN ICUs representing the developed world, we have observed a significant trend toward the reduction of DA-HAI rates in INICC ICUs as shown in each international report. It is INICC's main goal to continue facilitating education, training, and basic and cost-effective tools and resources, such as standardized forms and an online platform, to tackle this problem effectively and systematically.

Abstract
The flow curves and time-dependent rheological behaviour of gilaboru ( Viburnum opulus L.), a traditional drink in the middle Anatolia region of Turkey, with different solid concentrations (59.7, 56.3, 53.1, 43 and 35°Brix) were studied at different temperatures (5-60°C) using a controlled stress rheometer. Gilaboru samples exhibited thixotropic behaviour for all concentrations, both in the forward and backward measurements were characterised by the power law. A single equation was proposed for the apparent viscosity 1. Temperature played a major role in determining the magnitudes of the apparent viscosity 1. The completely destructed gilaboru samples flow curves were also measured after subjecting the samples to a high shear rate for 2h. After eliminating thixotropy by shearing, samples showed shearthinning properties that fitted well to the power law model. Three models were used to describe the time-dependent behaviour, namely, the second-order structural kinetic, Weltman and first-order stress decay models. Among the models, the first-order stress decay model fitted well compared to the second- order structural kinetic and Weltman models.

Abstract
The effects of varying fat content (from 13.5 to 50.4% w/w) and curd dipping temperatures (75, 85 and 95°C) on changes in viscoelastic properties, texture and appearance of Gaziantep cheese were examined. Viscoelastic properties of cheeses were studied using creep and recovery tests. Creep measurements showed that fat reduction from 50.4% (w/w) to 13.5% (w/w) decreased viscoelasticity while dipping into hot whey increased that of low-fat cheeses. Textural characteristics (hardness, gumminess, cohesiveness, springiness) were determined by texture profile analysis (TPA). Hardness, gumminess, cohesiveness and springiness values increased with decreasing fat content (P < 0.05). The application of curd dipping also increased hardness, gumminess, cohesiveness and springiness. Textural parameters were correlated with each others, except cohesiveness. Fat in dry matter correlated only with hardness and springiness, however curd dipping process correlated with all TPA parameters considered in this study. Colour of the cheese samples was affected by fat content as L value and b value decreased with decreasing fat content (P < 0.05). The decrease in curd dipping temperature increased the L value (P < 0.05) and decreased the b value.

Abstract
Background Hyaluronidases are essential for the breakdown of hyaluronate (HA) in tissues and may be used to prevent the adverse effects of HA fillers. Objectives We explored the effect of hyaluronidase on exogenous and endogenous HA in vitro and in vivo. Materials and Methods HA fillers were incubated with different concentrations of hyaluronidase and visualized by electrophoresis. HA fillers were injected in the skin of hairless mice, and 4 h later hyaluronidase was injected in the papules of exogenous HA. Hyaluronidase was injected in the nodule of pretibial myxedema of a male patient with Graves' disease. Skin sections of mice and of the patient were performed, and a skin ultrasound system was used to monitor the evolution of skin lesions. Results Hyaluronidase showed a degrading effect on HA with increasing concentrations. Hyaluronidase injection significantly decreased the content of exogenous HA within 3 days. Intralesional injection of hyaluronidase resulted in dissolution of the nodule of pretibial myxedema with no recurrence during 3 months. Conclusion These results show that the injection of hyaluronidase is capable of degrading exogenous HA in mouse skin and endogenous HA in human skin in vivo and may be a therapeutic option for skin diseases characterized by abnormal accumulation of HA.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASC) are multipotent with abilities to differentiate into multiple lineages including connective tissue and neural cells. Despite unlimited opportunity and needs for human and veterinary regenerative medicine, applications of adipose-derived stromal/stem cells are at present very limited. Furthermore, the fundamental biological factors regulating stemness in ASC and their stable differentiation into other tissue cells are not fully understood. The objective of this review was to provide an update on the current knowledge of the nature and isolation, molecular and epigenetic determinants of the potency, and applications of adipose-derived stromal/stem cells, as well as challenges and future directions. The first quarter of the review focuses on the nature of ASC, namely their definition, origin, isolation and sorting methods and multilineage differentiation potential, often with a comparison to mesenchymal stem cells of bone marrow. Due to the indisputable role of epigenetic regulation on cell identities, epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling and microRNAs) are described broadly in stem cells but with a focus on ASC. The final sections provide insights into the current and potential applications of ASC in human and veterinary regenerative medicine.

Abstract
AIM In children with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), the aim of present study was to determine the cerebral hemodynamic changes assessed with Doppler ultrasonography with measurements of lumen diameter (LD), peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), resistive index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and total cerebral blood flow volume (tCBFV) of common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA, and vertebral artery (VA). METHODS This case-control study examined children with clinically defined CCHF as cases (N.=24) and healthy children as controls (N.=17). The CCHF and healthy children underwent ultrasonography of the CCA, ICA and VA for the measurements of flow velocity and cerebral blood flow volume. Doppler ultrasonography were performed in the CCHF children if vital signs were stable and fever lower than 37.5 °C. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the CCHF and healthy children in the lumen diameter of study arteries (P>0.05). PSV and EDV values were significantly higher in the CCHF children compared to the controls (P<0.05). Overall, the CCHF did not cause considerable change in RI and PI values (P>0.05). tCBFV values of CCHF children was found higher compared to healthy controls (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Overall, in children, CCHF causes an increase in the cerebral blood flow as determined by Doppler ultrasonography with flow velocity and cerebral blood flow volume measurements; however, this increase need to be accepted as mild to moderate degree. Several pathophysiological derangements may be contributory to the increased cerebral blood flow in children with CCHF.
