Abstract
We aimed to understand the risks and benefits of post-inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation drainage and optimal duration. Our patients were divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (n = 114) had no drain placed, Group 2 had a drain placed for 24 h (n = 114) and Group 3 had a drain placed for 72 h (n = 117). Postoperative scrotal hematoma and prosthesis infection rates were compared between the groups. The patients from Group 3 demonstrated a statistically significant lower incidence of hematoma on the 10th postoperative day: (n = 1, 0.9%) compared to Group 2: (n = 11, 9.6%) and Group 1: (n = 8, 7%), (p = 0.013). However, on the 3rd postoperative day, there was a statistically significant lower incidence of hematoma in both Groups 3 and 2: (0.9% and 6.1%, respectively) vs. Group 1: (11.4%), (p = 0.004). Hematoma rates followed the same group order after the first day of surgery: 1.7% (n = 2), 5.3% (n = 6), and 8.8% (n = 10), respectively, (p = 0.05). Five patients (4.4%) in Group 1 and four patients (3.5%) in Group 2 developed an IPP associated infection, opposed to only a single patient (0.85%) in Group 3, (p = 0.210). We concluded that prolonged scrotal drainage for 72 h after virgin IPP implantation significantly reduces hematoma and infection rates.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Non-invasive global myocardial work recently emerged as new parameter to characterize left ventricle function with potential advantages over both ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain.
Purpose
We aimed to perform a meta-analysis of normal ranges of non-invasive left ventricular myocardial work (MW) indices including global constructive work (GCW), global work index (GWI), global wasted work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE) and to identify confounding factors that may contribute to variance in reported measures.
Methods
The authors searched four databases, Pubmed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library through January 2021 using the key terms “myocardial work”,“global constructive work”, “global wasted work”, “global work index”, “global work efficiency”. Studies were included if the articles reported LV myocardial work using 2D transthoracic echocardiography in healthy normal subjects, either in the control group or comprising the entire study cohort. The weighted mean was estimated by using the random effect model with a 95% confidence interval. Heterogeneity across studies was assessed using the I2 test. Publication bias was examined by funnel plot and Egger's regression test.
Results
The search yielded 476 articles. After abstract and full text screening we included 13 datasets with 1665 patients for meta-analysis. The reported normal mean values of GCW and GWI among the studies were 2278 (95% CI, 2167 to 23878; I2=95%), and 2.010 (95% CI, 1922 to 2098, I2=97%), respectively. The mean GWE was 96.0 (95% CI, 95.6% to 96.5; I2=92%), and the mean GWW was 79.7% (95% CI, 68.8% to 90.7%; I2=90%) (Figure). Furthermore, age and gender did not significantly contribute to variations in normal values. No evidence of significant publication bias was observed in the funnel plots and the Egger test.
Conclusion
In this meta-analysis, we provide echocardiographic reference ranges for non-invasive indices of MW. These normal values should serve as a template for clinical and research use for this promising technology.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hypertension can negatively affect prognosis in moderate or severe aortic stenosis (AS), but antihypertensive therapy (AHT) is often avoided due to possible deleterious effects such as reduced coronary perfusion, left ventricular dysfunction and haemodynamic compromise.
Purpose
We systematically assessed and compared clinical outcomes in adults with moderate or severe AS treated with and without AHT.
Methods
Two independent reviewers performed screening, data extraction and risk of bias assessments from a systematic search of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE and grey literature without language restrictions up to September 9, 2019. Conflicts were resolved by the third reviewer. Outcomes of interest included mortality, left ventricular (LV) mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and LV ejection fraction. Meta-analysis with pooled effect sizes using random-effects model, were estimated in R.
Results
Of 3,024 citations, 30 studies (26,224 patients) were included in the qualitative synthesis and 23 studies in meta-analysis. AHT was associated with favourable clinical outcomes and was well tolerated. AHT was associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality (Risk Ratio (RR)=0.69, 95% CI: 0.53–0.90, p=0.01, Figure). The effect size appears to differ with type of aortic valve replacement (AVR). AHT was associated with lower risk of acute kidney injury post-transcatheter AVR (RR=0.13, 95% CI:0.05–0.35, p=0.007). Favourable outcomes such as improved haemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters were demonstrated in some studies, but when pooled in meta-analysis, the differences did not reach statistical significance. However, heterogeneity was significant across studies.
Conclusion
This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to demonstrate that AHT is safe and has a clinical benefit in patients with advanced stages of AS with significant improvement in survival or reduction in mortality without haemodynamic compromise. Further studies are required to determine the best AHT for patients with moderate or severe AS.

Abstract
abstract
A collaborative study was performed to assess accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of a nearinfrared (near-IR) method for determining crude protein content (PC) of whole-grain wheat. Four types of commercially available near-IR instruments, representing various combinations of wavelength region, mode of energy capture, method of energy dispersion, and treatment of spectral data, were used. Eight, 9,10, and 11 collaborators were involved, the exact number depending on instrument type. All collaborators received 22 samples of whole-grain hard red winter (HRW) wheat. They were furnished reference PCs (i.e., protein concentrations, w/w) corrected to a 12% moisture basis for instrument standardization. AOAC Method 990.03— combustion analysis—was the reference procedure. Standardization consisted of performing one of the following treatments to the instrument manufacturer's (or federal agency's) PC equation: (1) bias correction, (2) slope and intercept correction, or (3) recalibration with inclusion of standardization sample spectra. Standardized equations were then applied to a test set of 12 unknown HRW wheat sample spectra, with 2 samples blindly duplicated. The PCs of test samples ranged from 9 to 16%. Near-IR predictions were compared with reference measurements. Averaged within instrument type, root mean square of differences were 0.22, 0.24, 0.25, and 0.26% PC, depending on instrument. Corrected for bias within the test set, standard errors became 0.22, 0.18, 0.21, and 0.24% PC, respectively. These values were approximately twice the estimated lower limit for error (representing sample inhomogeneity). Overall repeatability relative standard deviation (RSD,) values were 0.92, 0.36, 0.42, and 0.74%, respectively. Overall reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSDR) values were 1.15, 0.61,1.53, and 1.38%. Such values for within-laboratory and between-laboratory variations of the near- IR methods were equivalent to values reported for the combustion method (990.03) for wheat. An inhouse study that examined all 6 U.S. wheat classes with one of the 4 instrument types produced repeatability and reproducibility values similar to those of the collaborative study, suggesting that the near-IR technique may be applied to red, white, hard, soft, and durum wheats. The near-IR method for determination of PC of whole-grain wheat has been adopted First Action (997.06) by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Study aims to evaluate whether vancomycin dosing from published dosing algorithms correlate with the attainment of target troughs of 10 to 20 mg/L. METHODS NICU patients who received minimum three doses of vancomycin and had a trough level met inclusion criteria. Dosing information was retrospectively evaluated to determine which published dosing regimen was followed. Dosing algorithms used were matched to NeoFax/Harriet Lane, renal-function directed dosing, and weight-directed dosing, in which the latter two can be found in Pediatric and Neonatal Lexi-Drugs. Primary outcome was percentage of troughs within therapeutic (10 to 20 mg/L) and subtherapeutic (less than 10 mg/L) levels. RESULTS Of 97 troughs evaluated, NeoFax/Harriet Lane accounted for 86.6%, renal-function directed accounted for 5.1%, and weight-directed dosing accounted for 18.5% of dosing algorithms. NeoFax/Harriet Lane, renal-function directed, and weight-directed dosing attained therapeutic levels between 10 to 20 mg/L at a rate of 60.7%, 60%, and 50% of the time, respectively. With respect to initiation of therapy, a higher dose of 15 mg/kg versus 10 mg/kg attained therapeutic levels (p < 0.001; OR 11.22; 95% CI, 3.96 to 31.81), while a serum creatinine value below 0.5 mg/dL attained subtherapeutic levels (p = 0.028; OR 0.068; 95% CI, 0.006 to 0.74). CONCLUSIONS NeoFax, Harriet Lane, and renal-directed dosing from Pediatric and Neonatal Lexi-Drugs achieved target troughs within the 10 to 20 mg/L range more often than weight-directed dosing from Pediatric and Neonatal Lexi-Drugs. Initiating therapy at a higher dose and patient serum creatinine value above 0.5 mg/dL were factors significantly associated with a 10 to 20 mg/L range.

Abstract
Micromagnetic stimulation using small-sized implantable coils has recently been studied. The main advantage of this method is that it can provide sustainable stimulation performance even if a fibrotic encapsulation layer is formed around the implanted coil by inflammation response, because indirectly induced currents are used to induce neural responses. In previous research, we optimized the geometrical and control parameters used in implantable magnetic stimulation. Based on those results, we fabricated the planar coil and studied the LTP effect in the hippocampal slice by two different magnetic stimulation protocols using the quadripulse stimulation (QPS) pattern. We found that direct magnetic stimulation (DMS) induced insignificant LTP effect and priming magnetic stimulation (PMS) occluded LTP effect after tetanic stimulation, when QPS patterned magnetic stimulation with 1 A current pulse was applied to the planar coil.

Abstract
A retrospective audit of plasma human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) viral load testing was performed in three HIV treatment centres over 24 months. Reasons for testing (360 tests) were: symptoms of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (fever, lymphadenopathy and raised inflammatory markers); monitoring in known HHV-8 pathology other than Kaposi sarcoma (KS); investigation of known/suspected KS, and other/no reason. Of patients with multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), 14/16 (88%) had detectable plasma HHV-8, as did 27/45 (60%) with biopsy proven or clinically confirmed KS, and 6/19 (32%) with lymphoma. Neither of the two patients with MCD and no detectable HHV-8 had SIRS symptoms at the time of the test. There was wide variation between centres in the indications prompting HHV-8 testing, with a more conservative approach resulting in a higher proportion of positive results. Measuring plasma HHV-8 in the absence of SIRS symptoms, established HHV-8 disease monitoring, or confirmed/suspected KS is unlikely to yield detectable HHV-8 thus allowing potential cost savings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with various metabolic abnormalities that can increase the risk of an osteoporotic fracture. Across the few previous studies of the association between NAFLD and bone mineral density (BMD), the association was not consistent. We examined the association between BMD and NAFLD in generally healthy adults. METHODS The subjects who visited the Seoul National University Hospital for health checkup between 2005 and 2015 were included. Men aged more than 40 and postmenopausal women were included. Lumbar spine and femoral neck (FN) BMD were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Liver ultrasonography was conducted to evaluate the extent of fatty changes. After excluding subjects with a secondary cause of liver disease such as heavy drinking or viral hepatitis, multivariable linear regression analysis adjusted for possible cofactors was performed to investigate the association between BMD and NAFLD. RESULTS A total of 6634 subjects was included in this study (men:women = 3306:3328). Multivariate regression analysis revealed a significant negative association between FN BMD and NAFLD in men (β = -0.013, p = 0.029). However, there was a positive correlation between lumbar spine BMD and NAFLD in postmenopausal women (β = 0.022, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Moderate or severe NAFLD exerted a detrimental effect on FN BMD in men. However, moderate or severe NAFLD had a positive effect on lumbar spine BMD in postmenopausal women. Potential sex-specific differences of the effect of NAFLD on BMD need to be elucidated further.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroparesis is characterized by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, but remains difficult to diagnose and distinguish from other gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Gastroparesis affects the gastric slow wave, but non-invasive assessment has been limited to the electrogastrogram (EGG), which reliably characterizes temporal dynamics but does not provide spatial information. METHODS We measured gastric slow wave parameters from the EGG and magnetogastrogram (MGG) in patients with gastroparesis and in healthy controls. In addition to dominant frequency (DF) and percentage power distribution (PPD), we measured the propagation velocity from MGG spatiotemporal patterns and the percentage of slow wave coupling (%SWC) from EGG. KEY RESULTS No significant difference in DF was found between patients and controls. Gastroparesis patients had lower percentages of normogastric frequencies (60 ± 6% vs 78 ± 4%, p < 0.05), and higher brady (9 ± 2% vs 2 ± 1%, p < 0.05) and tachygastric (31 ± 2% vs 19 ± 1%, p < 0.05) frequency content postprandial, indicative of uncoupling. Propagation patterns were substantially different in patients and longitudinal propagation velocity was retrograde at 4.3 ± 2.9 mm/s vs anterograde at 7.4 ± 1.0 mm/s for controls (p < 0.01). No difference was found in %SWC from EGG. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Gastric slow wave parameters obtained from MGG recordings distinguish gastroparesis patients from controls. Assessment of slow wave propagation may prove critical to characterization of underlying disease processes. Future studies should determine pathologic indicators from MGG associated with other functional gastric disorders, and whether multichannel EGG with appropriate signal processing also reveals pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Junctional (flat) naevi predominate on the extremities, whereas dermal (raised) naevi are found primarily on the head, neck and trunk. Few studies have investigated the anatomical site prevalence of melanocytic naevi categorized using dermoscopy. OBJECTIVES To identify the prevalence of dermoscopic patterns and structures of naevi from the back and legs of adolescents. METHODS Dermoscopic images of acquired melanocytic naevi were obtained from the back and legs of students from a population-based cohort in Framingham, Massachusetts. Naevi were classified into reticular, globular, homogeneous or complex dermoscopic patterns. Multinomial logistic regression modelling assessed the associations between dermoscopic pattern and anatomical location. RESULTS In total 509 participants (mean age 14 years) contributed 2320 back naevi and 637 leg naevi. Compared with homogeneous naevi, globular and complex naevi were more commonly observed on the back than the legs [odds ratio (OR) 29·39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 9·53-90·65, P < 0·001 and OR 6·8, 95% CI 2·7-17·14, P < 0·001, respectively], whereas reticular lesions were less likely to be observed on the back than on the legs (OR 0·67, 95% CI 0·54-0·84, P = 0·001). Naevi containing any globules were more prevalent on the back than on the legs (25% vs. 3·6%, P < 0·001). Naevi containing any network were more prevalent on the legs than on the back (56% vs. 40·6%, P < 0·001). CONCLUSIONS These findings add to a robust body of literature suggesting that dermoscopically defined globular and reticular naevi represent biologically distinct naevus subsets that differ in histopathological growth pattern, age- and anatomical-site-related prevalence, molecular phenotype and aetiological pathways.
