Abstract
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty continues to gain traction as a treatment option for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease with and without pulmonary hypertension. Recent European Society of Cardiology guidelines on pulmonary hypertension now give balloon pulmonary angioplasty a Class 1 recommendation for inoperable and residual chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Not surprisingly, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension centers are rapidly initiating balloon pulmonary angioplasty programs. However, we need a comprehensive, expert consensus document outlining critical concepts, including identifying necessary personnel and expertise, criteria for patient selection, and a standardized approach to preprocedural planning and establishing criteria for evaluating procedural efficacy and safety. Given this lack of standards, the balloon pulmonary angioplasty skill set is learned through peer-to-peer contact and training. This document is a state-of-the-art, comprehensive statement from key thought leaders to address this gap in the current clinical practice of balloon pulmonary angioplasty. We summarize the current status of the procedure and provide a consensus opinion on the role of balloon pulmonary angioplasty in the overall care of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease with and without pulmonary hypertension. We also identify knowledge gaps, provide guidance for new centers interested in initiating balloon pulmonary angioplasty programs, and highlight future directions and research needs for this emerging therapy.

Abstract
The precise measurement of cosmic-ray antinuclei serves as an important means for identifying the nature of dark matter and other new astrophysical phenomena, and could be used with other cosmic-ray species to understand cosmic-ray production and propagation in the Galaxy. For instance, low-energy antideuterons would provide a "smoking gun" signature of dark matter annihilation or decay, essentially free of astrophysical background. Studies in recent years have emphasized that models for cosmic-ray antideuterons must be considered together with the abundant cosmic antiprotons and any potential observation of antihelium. Therefore, a second dedicated Antideuteron Workshop was organized at UCLA in March 2019, bringing together a community of theorists and experimentalists to review the status of current observations of cosmic-ray antinuclei, the theoretical work towards understanding these signatures, and the potential of upcoming measurements to illuminate ongoing controversies. This review aims to synthesize this recent work and present implications for the upcoming decade of antinuclei observations and searches. This includes discussion of a possible dark matter signature in the AMS-02 antiproton spectrum, the most recent limits from BESS Polar-II on the cosmic antideuteron flux, and reports of candidate antihelium events by AMS-02; recent collider and cosmic-ray measurements relevant for antinuclei production models; the state of cosmic-ray transport models in light of AMS-02 and Voyager data; and the prospects for upcoming experiments, such as GAPS. This provides a roadmap for progress on cosmic antinuclei signatures of dark matter in the coming years.

Abstract
Europe PMC (https://europepmc.org) is a comprehensive resource of biomedical research publications that offers advanced tools for search, retrieval, and interaction with the scientific literature. This article outlines new developments since 2014. In addition to delivering the core database and services, Europe PMC focuses on three areas of development: individual user services, data integration, and infrastructure to support text and data mining. Europe PMC now provides user accounts to save search queries and claim publications to ORCIDs, as well as open access profiles for authors based on public ORCID records. We continue to foster connections between scientific data and literature in a number of ways. All the data behind the paper - whether in structured archives, generic archives or as supplemental files - are now available via links to the BioStudies database. Text-mined biological concepts, including database accession numbers and data DOIs, are highlighted in the text and linked to the appropriate data resources. The SciLite community annotation platform accepts text-mining results from various contributors and overlays them on research articles as licence allows. In addition, text miners and developers can access all open content via APIs or via the FTP site.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN) in the UK publicly reports hospital performance in the management of trauma. The TARN risk adjustment model uses a fractional polynomial transformation of the Injury Severity Score (ISS) as the measure of anatomical injury severity. The Trauma Mortality Prediction Model (TMPM) is an alternative to ISS; this study compared the anatomical injury components of the TARN model with the TMPM. METHODS Data from the National Trauma Data Bank for 2011-2015 were analysed. Probability of death was estimated for the TARN fractional polynomial transformation of ISS and compared with the TMPM. The coefficients for each model were estimated using 80 per cent of the data set, selected randomly. The remaining 20 per cent of the data were used for model validation. TMPM and TARN were compared using calibration curves, measures of discrimination (area under receiver operating characteristic curves; AUROC), proximity to the true model (Akaike information criterion; AIC) and goodness of model fit (Hosmer-Lemeshow test). RESULTS Some 438 058 patient records were analysed. TMPM demonstrated preferable AUROC (0·882 for TMPM versus 0·845 for TARN), AIC (18 204 versus 21 163) and better fit to the data (32·4 versus 153·0) compared with TARN. CONCLUSION TMPM had greater discrimination, proximity to the true model and goodness-of-fit than the anatomical injury component of TARN. TMPM should be considered for the injury severity measure for the comparative assessment of trauma centres.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is the treatment of choice for eligible patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, access to CTEPH and PTE care is limited. There is a paucity of published data on PTE efficacy and outcomes from alternative, regional centers of excellence in CTEPH and PTE care in the USA, outside a single national and international referral center. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing PTE at our institution from June 2013 to December 2016 (42 months), and collected clinical, echocardiographic and hemodynamic data on our patients pre- and post-PTE (N.=71). RESULTS Patients age ranged between 20-83 years (mean±SD: 56±16), with 54% of patients female and 61% Caucasians. The predominant symptom was shortness of breath with a median duration of symptoms of 17 months. Following PTE, clinical improvements included a reduction in NYHA class from 3.1±1.1 to 2.2±1.2. There were major improvements in hemodynamics and echocardiographic parameters pre- versus post-PTE: mean pulmonary artery pressure (mmHg) 45±11 to 24±8, cardiac index (L/min/m2) 2.1±0.5 to 2.8±0.5, pulmonary vascular resistance (mmHg/L/min) 8.9±4.5 to 2.8±1.8, ratio of right ventricle (RV): left ventricle (LV) 1.2±0.3 to 0.9±0.2, RV fractional area change (%) 23±14 to 44±13, reduction in the incidence of RV outflow tract Doppler notching and improved pulmonary artery acceleration time (96% to 30%, and 74±19 to 111±21). In-hospital mortality was 4.2% (3 patients). CONCLUSIONS Herein, we report for the first time, the improvements in patient functionality, hemodynamics, right heart function and outcomes at a major regional PTE program.

Abstract
PURPOSE Understanding the characteristics of trauma recidivists may allow trauma centers to tailor prevention programs. We hypothesized that there would be an increased incidence of violent injuries and falls in the urban vs. rural recidivists, respectively. METHODS Trauma admissions from 2000 to 2011 were queried for incidences of recidivism. Age (<65 or ≥65 years), gender, Injury Severity Score (ISS, <9 or ≥9), mortality, and injury cause (fall, violence, or other) were analyzed with univariate analyses to test for differences between urban and rural patients. Significant variables were then included in a binary logistic model and further stratified based on environment. RESULTS There were a total of 19,600 trauma admissions from 2000 to 2011, representing 18,711 unique patients, with 1,690 admissions (8.6 %) attributed to 801 recidivists (4.3 %). The overall percentages of recidivist trauma admissions attributed to urban and rural patients were 8.6 and 6.9 %, respectively (p < 0.001). When adjusting for age ≥65 years as well as falls and violent injuries, patients from urban environments were at 1.12 times higher odds of being a recidivist than their rural counterparts [odds ratio (OR) 1.12; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.25; p = 0.039]. When stratified into rural and urban groups, falls and violent injuries were significant in both groups of recidivist admissions; however, age ≥65 years was only significant in rural recidivist admissions. CONCLUSION An urban trauma admission had 12 % higher odds of being attributed to a recidivist than its rural counterpart, when controlling for age and mechanism of injury (MOI). Age ≥65 years was a significant variable in rural but not urban recidivist admissions. Characterizing the recidivist may allow for targeted prevention and intervention programs to decrease repeat hospital visits.

Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with arteriovenous dialysis access (AVDA) can develop symptoms of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension (PH). We report on 5 patients with ESRD and AVDA who presented with shortness of breath, heart failure, and PH. All patients had partial or complete closure of AVDA and were reevaluated after AVDA revision. All 5 subjects had clinical and echocardiographic evidence of heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and PH at baseline. After complete closure ([Formula: see text]) or partial banding ([Formula: see text]) of AVDA, mean New York Heart Association class improved from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). Mean 6-minute walk distance improved from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] m ([Formula: see text]). Serial echocardiography revealed a decrease in the right ventricle∶left ventricle ratio from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) and improved diastolic dysfunction parameters. On right heart catheterization before definitive AVDA revision, acute manual fistula or graft occlusion led to an average decrease in cardiac output of 1.1 L/min with no other changes in hemodynamics: [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] L/min ([Formula: see text]). However, the average decrease in cardiac output after definitive revision of the AVDA (mean, 90 days) was 4.0 L/min with marked improvements in biventricular filling pressures and pulmonary artery pressure. In patients with ESRD and AVDA presenting with heart failure and PH, revision or closure of AVDA can markedly improve dyspnea as well as the clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic manifestations of heart failure and PH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has diverse causes with heterogeneous physiology compelling distinct management. Differentiating patients with primarily elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from those with PH predominantly because of elevated left-sided filling pressure is critical. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed hemodynamics, echocardiography, and clinical data for 108 patients seen at a referral PH clinic with transthoracic echocardiogram and right heart catheterization within 1 year. We derived a simple echocardiographic prediction rule to allow hemodynamic differentiation of PH attributed to pulmonary vascular disease (PH(PVD), defined as pulmonary artery wedge pressure [PAWP]≤15 mm Hg and PVR>3 WU). Age averaged 61.3±14.8 years, μPAWP and PVR were 16.4±7.1 mm Hg and 6.3±4.0 WU, respectively, and 52 (48.1%) patients fulfilled PH(PVD) hemodynamic criteria. The derived prediction rule ranged from -2 to +2 with higher scores suggesting higher probability of PH(PVD): +1 point for left atrial anterior-posterior dimension <3.2 cm; +1 for presence of a mid systolic notch or acceleration time <80 ms; -1 for lateral mitral E:e'>10; -1 for left atrial anterior-posterior dimension >4.2 cm. PVR increased stepwise with score (for -2, 0, and +2, μPVR were 2.5, 4.5, and 8.1 WU, respectively), whereas the inverse was true for pulmonary artery wedge pressure (corresponding μPAWP were 21.5, 16.5, and 10.4 mm Hg). Among subjects with complete data, the score had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.921 for PH(PVD). A score ≥0 had 100% sensitivity and 69.3% positive predictive value for PH(PVD), with 62.3% specificity. No patients with a negative score had PH(PVD). Patients with a negative score and acceleration time >100 ms had normal PVR (μPVR=1.8 WU, range=0.7-3.2 WU). CONCLUSIONS We present a simple echocardiographic prediction rule that accurately defines PH hemodynamics, facilitates improved screening and focused clinical investigation for PH diagnosis and management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of age and gender to outcome after treatment of blunt splenic injury in adults. METHODS Through the Multi-Institutional Trials Committee of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST), 1488 adult patients from 27 trauma centers who suffered blunt splenic injury in 1997 were examined retrospectively. RESULTS Fifteen percent of patients were 55 years of age or older. A similar proportion of patients > or = 55 went directly to the operating room compared with patients < 55 (41% vs. 38%) but the mortality for patients > or = 55 was significantly greater than patients < 55 (43% vs. 23%). Patients > or = 55 failed nonoperative management (NOM) more frequently than patients < 55 (19% vs. 10%) and had increased mortality for both successful NOM (8% vs. 4%, p < 0.05) and failed NOM (29% vs. 12%, p = 0.054). There were no differences in immediate operative treatment, successful NOM, and failed NOM between men and women. However, women > or = 55 failed NOM more frequently than women < 55 (20% vs. 7%) and this was associated with increased mortality (36% vs. 5%) (both p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Patients > or = 55 had a greater mortality for all forms of treatment of their blunt splenic injury and failed NOM more frequently than patients < 55. Women > or = 55 had significantly greater mortality and failure of NOM than women < 55.

Abstract
Patients with acute coronary syndromes who are considered ineligible for thrombolytic therapy are at high risk of recurrent ischemia and death. This trial randomized 201 patients to triage angiography in the first 24 hours of hospital admission versus conventional medical care. Of the 165 patients who underwent angiography that was either protocol-driven or on the basis of physician preference, those who underwent angiography within 6 hours of symptom onset had a reduction in early and late adverse events. The rates of in-hospital recurrent ischemia were 15.4%, 15.4%, 17.5%, 32.4%, and 38.5%, respectively (P = 0.01 for trend), and rates of cumulative recurrent myocardial infarction or death were 0%, 12.8%, 10.0%, 11.8%, and 7.7%, respectively (P = 0.48 for trend) for patients who underwent angiography at 0-6, 6-12, 12-24, 24-48, and over 48 hours, respectively from symptom onset. Future trials of invasive versus conservative therapy should focus on performing angiography within 6 hours of symptom onset.

Abstract
Sparganosis is a parasitic infection in amphibians, reptiles and mammals including feral swine and man. It is caused by migration of the metacestode (spargana) of Spirometra. The primary objective of this study was the determination of the prevalence of gross sparganosis in Florida county of origin in slaughtered feral swine. Tracebacks to county of origin were conducted for Florida feral swine with and without gross sparganosis. Feral swine trapped in Florida and presented for slaughter in a Texas slaughter establishment from May to December 1999 was the sample population. Overall prevalence of sparganosis in Florida feral swine was 6.9%. Because Highlands county had the same prevalence, other counties were compared to it. Sparganosis was detected in 17 Florida counties. Swine originating from Osceola or Hillsborough counties (4.3 and 1.8% prevalence, respectively) had lower prevalence of sparganosis than in Highlands, whereas those from Marion county (21.7% prevalence) had a higher prevalence. Transmission to humans may occur via consumption of infected feral swine, other species of secondary intermediate hosts or the primary intermediate hosts.

Abstract
The majority of patients with acute myocardial infarction and other acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are considered ineligible for thrombolysis and do not routinely receive reperfusion therapy. We hypothesized that predictors and outcomes of angiographically impaired culprit vessel flow can be identified and compared. This trial evaluated the outcomes following triage angiography in acute coronary syndromes ineligible for thrombolytic therapy. Eligible patients (n=201) with<24 hours of symptoms were randomized to early triage angiography and subsequent therapies based on the angiogram versus conventional medical therapy. This analysis was performed in 165 patients, from experimental and control arms, in whom angiography was performed on the index hospitalization with the outcome of interest being target vessel flow (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction [TIMI] grades 0 to 2) on initial angiography. Patients with and without impaired culprit lesion flow were similar with respect to age, gender, diabetes, and prior coronary disease. A family history of premature coronary disease was more common in those with impaired flow, 50.0 versus 28.5% (p=0.02). Abnormal culprit vessel flow was found in 19.2% of patients who underwent angiography within 6 hours of symptom onset; however, after 24 hours this rate was reduced to 11.7%. Impaired culprit lesion flow can be expected in approximately 20% of patients presenting with ACS who are ineligible for reperfusion therapy by conventional guidelines and therefore represents an opportunity for early intervention within 6 hours of the onset of symptoms in these patients.

Abstract
Prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)), a mitogen for Swiss 3T3 cells, triggers cyclin D1 mRNA/protein expression prior to cellular entry into the S phase, but fails to raise cdk4 or cyclin D3 levels, while 1-oleoyl-2-diacylglycerol (OAG), a protein kinase C (PKC) and tyrosine kinase (TK) activator, induces only cyclin D1 expression with no mitogenic response. In contrast, in PKC-depleted or -inhibited cells, PGF(2alpha), but not OAG, increases cyclin D1 expression with no mitogenic response. Finally, OAG, in the presence of orthovanadate (Na(3)VO(4)) or TGF(beta1), induces DNA synthesis. Thus, it appears that PGF(2alpha) triggers cyclin D1 expression via two independent signaling events that complement with TGF(beta1)-triggered events to induce DNA synthesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine if early triage angiography with revascularization, if indicated, favorably affects clinical outcomes in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction who are ineligible for thrombolysis. BACKGROUND The majority of patients with acute myocardial infarction and other acute coronary syndromes are considered ineligible for thrombolysis and therefore are not afforded the opportunity for early reperfusion. METHODS This multicenter, prospective, randomized trial evaluated in a controlled fashion the outcomes following triage angiography in acute coronary syndromes ineligible for thrombolytic therapy. Eligible patients (n=201) with <24 h of symptoms were randomized to early triage angiography and subsequent therapies based on the angiogram versus conventional medical therapy consisting of aspirin, intravenous heparin, nitroglycerin, beta-blockers, and analgesics. RESULTS In the triage angiography group, 109 patients underwent early angiography and 64 (58%) received revascularization, whereas in the conservative group, 54 (60%) subsequently underwent nonprotocol angiography in response to recurrent ischemia and 33 (37%) received revascularization (p=0.004). The mean time to revascularization was 27+/-32 versus 88+/-98 h (p=0.0001) and the primary endpoint of recurrent ischemic events or death occurred in 14 (13%) versus 31 (34%) of the triage angiography and conservative groups, respectively (45% risk reduction, 95% CI 27-59%, p=0.0002). There were no differences between the groups with respect to initial hospital costs or length of stay. Long-term follow-up at a median of 21 months revealed no significant differences in the endpoints of late revascularization, recurrent myocardial infarction, or all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS Early triage angiography in patients with acute coronary syndromes who are not eligible for thrombolytics reduced the composite of recurrent ischemic events or death and shortened the time to definitive revascularization during the index hospitalization. Despite more frequent early revascularization after triage angiography, we found no long-term benefit in cardiac outcomes compared with conservative medical therapy with revascularization prompted by recurrent ischemia.

Abstract
A great deal of time and effort is spent attempting to diagnose myocardial contusion in patients with blunt thoracic trauma. Many diagnostic protocols have been proposed in the past. However, there is no test with sufficient specificity to predict which patients will develop complications that will require therapy. Recent studies have raised the question of limiting the cardiac evaluation in certain selected patients with blunt thoracic trauma. We prospectively studied the safety of limiting the cardiac evaluation in patients who were hemodynamically stable, had no history of cardiac disease, had a normal baseline ECG, did not require surgery or neurological observation for associated injuries, and were less than 55 years of age. These patients represent the majority of patients considered at risk for myocardial contusion when mechanism is the sole criterion. These patients were simply admitted for 24 hours of continuous cardiac monitoring. No patient developed any complications of myocardial contusion requiring therapy. We conclude that it is safe to limit the cardiac evaluation in this group of patients.

Abstract
Research in exercise training of healthy persons, which has been conducted almost exclusively in supervised group programs, is relatively expensive for the investigator and inconvenient for the participant. To overcome these obstacles, self-monitored moderate-intensity home-based exercise training was prescribed for 28 middle-aged men and 26 middle-aged women. The median energy expenditure prescribed for each of 5 weekly exercise sessions was 4 cal/kg body weight, or 317 kcal for men and 265 kcal for women, corresponding to a median duration of 45 and 60 minutes, respectively. In the next 24 weeks, peak oxygen uptake increased 13.7% in men who exercised, from 31 +/- 4 to 37 +/- 4 ml/kg/min, and 10% in women who exercised, from 26 +/- 4 to 29 +/- 5 ml/kg/min (p less than 0.001 for both comparisons). The proportion of prescribed caloric expenditure per session, which was documented by a solid-state heart rate recorder, was 108% in men and 90% in women. The duration of training at heart rates above the prescribed range approximated 10 minutes per session for both men and women; the proportion of total caloric expenditure represented by exercise at heart rates exceeding the prescribed limit was 9% for men and 4% for women. The proportion of time spent within the prescribed heart rate range during training sessions was 76% for men and 84% for women. Training-induced musculoskeletal problems were reported by 6 men and no women. No subject sought medical attention and all resumed training within 1 week.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of 6 months of self-monitored, home-based exercise training on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), body composition and plasma lipid levels of healthy, sedentary, middle-aged persons were evaluated in 60 men, aged 49 +/- 6 years, and 60 women, aged 47 +/- 5 years. Moderate-intensity training was performed 5 times per week in sessions of 47 +/- 7 minutes and 54 +/- 8 minutes for men and women, respectively. The individually prescribed range of heart rate corresponded to 65 to 77% of the peak value during symptom-limited treadmill testing (mean of 72% for men and 69% for women). Caloric expenditure per training session was approximately 345 kcal for men and 235 kcal for women. VO2 max increased 15% in men and 9% in women (both p less than 0.01). The greater increase in VO2 max in men than in women primarily reflected greater adherence to training in men (greater than or equal to 90% vs greater than or equal to 75%). The increase in VO2 max in women who showed very high adherence was comparable to that of men. Body weight decreased, by 1.5 +/- 10 kg, in men (p less than 0.05) but not in women undergoing training. No significant training-induced changes in plasma lipid levels were noted in either men or women. Baseline orientation and follow-up telephone calls required less than 1 hour of staff time per participant. Self-monitored, moderate-intensity, home-based exercise training significantly increases functional capacity in healthy, middle-aged men and women. Such training provides an alternative to group-based exercise training.

Abstract
The effects of 12 weeks of home-based exercise training on peak oxygen consumption (VO2 max) in healthy sedentary middle-aged men, mean age 49 +/- 6 years, were evaluated. Twenty-one men trained at low intensity, 23 trained at high intensity and 20 were control subjects. Individually prescribed low- and high-intensity training was performed 5 times per week within a range of 42 to 60% and 63 to 81% of baseline VO2 max, corresponding to average heart rates of 102 to 122 and 128 to 148 beats/min, respectively. Caloric expenditure per training session approximated 350 kcal in both groups; adherence was at least 90% in both groups. VO2 max increased 8% in patients who trained at low intensity, 17% in those who trained at high intensity (both p less than 0.001), and not at all in control subjects. Low-intensity exercise training at home significantly augments functional capacity in healthy sedentary middle-aged men.

Abstract
A presumptive hemagglutination test for the serological diagnosis of leptospirosis in humans is described. The antigen was prepared from a soluble alcohol extract of an andamana strain sorbed to human O-negative erythrocytes and preserved by pyruvic aldehyde fixation. In this study, the overall sensitivity of the hemagglutination test was 92% in contrast to 69% for the presumptive slide agglutination test. The specificity was 95% for the hemagglutination test in comparison with 83% for the slide test.
