Abstract
A 15-month-old female Ragdoll cat was evaluated for progressive lethargy, tachypnoea and increased respiratory effort for 1 week after routine ovariohysterectomy. Thoracic radiographs and an echocardiogram showed evidence of congestive heart failure and a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype, respectively. The maximum left ventricular wall thickness in end diastole was 6.2 mm. The serum cardiac troponin I concentration was 20.86 ng/mL. The cat was treated with furosemide and clopidogrel and discharged after 3 days. A repeat echocardiogram 2 weeks later showed complete resolution of the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype (maximum left ventricular wall thickness: 5.0 mm). A repeat cardiac troponin I concentration was 0.041 ng/mL. All cardiac medications were discontinued. A final recheck 4 weeks later revealed stable normal echocardiogram and further reduction in cardiac troponin I concentration to 0.004 ng/mL. This case report demonstrates that resolution of transient myocardial thickening can take 2 weeks after the echocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular thickening.

Abstract
CdTe-based detectors have the problem of Te-rich surface layers caused by Br etching, which is one of fabrication steps. Te-rich layer acts as a trapping center and serves as an additional source of charge carriers, thereby degrading transport property of charge carriers and enriching leakage current on surface of detector. To solve this problem, we introduced sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as a passivant, and investigated its effect on Cd0.95Mn0.05Te0.98Se0.02 (CMTS), by analyzing chemical state of surface and its performance. After passivation with NaOCl, the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows the formation of tellurium oxide and elimination of water on CMTS surface, and CMTS presented enhanced performance with Am-241 radioisotope. Consequently, it is demonstrated that the passivation with NaOCl reduces leakage current, compensates defect, and elevates transport of charge carriers, thereby decreasing charge loss of carriers and improving performance of CMTS detector.

Abstract
Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) has been actively researched and developed by researchers in various fields. In medical applications, especially photon-counting, CZT enables improved image quality, multi-material decomposition, and improved dose efficiency. Moreover, band gap engineering and selenium addition on CZT improved electrical, spectroscopic and structural properties, thereby supporting performance of CZT as a photon-counting detector. In this study, it is shown that Cd0.875Zn0.125Te0.98Se0.02 (CZTS) shows sufficient performance without loss of detection efficiency. We carried out a study involving the application of this CZTS on calculating bone mineral density (BMD) values, because this application has a novelty of new material for BMD sensor which follows the CdTe- or CdZnTe- based BMD detector. Anatomical images from different energy bins contained different information of attenuation although the images were taken in the same region at the same time. Moreover, calculated BMD values had a proper tendency depending on the amount of bone in that region. The final BMD value was 1.1972 g/cm2, which is close to the real value of 1.2 g/cm2. The introduction with a bone filter and a smaller pixel size will improve the accuracy and precision of photon-counting CZTS detectors for measuring BMD values. However, in this study the CZTS showed the feasibility that a photon-counting CZTS detector can help the measurement of BMD values and the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES Thin and hypokinetic myocardial segments (THyMS) represent adverse ventricular (LV) remodeling in human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We describe the echocardiographic features and outcome in cats with THyMS, and in a subpopulation, the echocardiographic phenotype before LV wall thinning was detected (pre-THyMS). ANIMALS Eighty client-owned cats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective multicenter study. Clinical records were searched for cats with THyMS, defined as LV segment(s) with end-diastolic wall thickness (LVWT) <3 mm and hypokinesis in the presence of ≥one LV segment(s) with LVWT >4 mm and normal wall motion. When available, echocardiograms pre-THyMS were assessed. Survival time was defined as time from first presentation with THyMS to death. RESULTS Mean thickest LV wall segment (MaxLVWT) was 6.1 mm (95% CI 5.8-6.4 mm) and thinnest (MinLVWT) was 1.7 mm (95% CI 1.6-1.9 mm). The LV free wall was affected in 74%, apex in 13% and septum in 5%. Most cats (85%) presented with heart failure and/or arterial thromboembolism. Median circulating troponin I concentration was 1.4 ng/mL ([range 0.07-180 ng/mL]). Prior echocardiography results were available for 13/80 cats, a mean of 2.5 years pre-THyMS. In segments subsequently undergoing thinning, initial MaxLVWT measured 6.7 mm (95% CI 5.8-7.7 mm) vs. 1.9 mm (95% CI 1.5-2.4 mm) at last echocardiogram (P<0.0001). Survival data were available for 56/80 cats, median survival time after diagnosing THyMS was 153 days (95% CI 83-223 days). Cardiac histopathology in one cat revealed that THyMS was associated with severe transmural scarring. CONCLUSIONS Cats with THyMS had advanced cardiomyopathy and a poor prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Eating habits cultivated during adolescence continue through adulthood, and can widen the health gap in adulthood for vulnerable ethnic minority adolescents (EMA). Living Lab is a methodological approach through which stakeholders co-create innovations as citizen scientists in real-life settings. This study aimed to design a digital health intervention (DHI) for enhancing the heathy diet of EMA using the Living Lab approach. The DHI’s content and strategies were derived through literature reviews and focus group interviews. The Living Lab was structured by using 5 principles: real-life setting, user engagement, multi-stakeholder participation, multi-method, and co-creation. It has four activity phases of discovering problems, exploring solutions, solving problems, and disseminating solutions putting more emphasis on the use of digital device and multiple stakeholders such as peers and teachers in co-ideation. DHI participants were grouped into equal proportions of EMA and Korean-ethnic peers. The DHI operates for 2 hours once a week for 4 weeks, with orientation and wrap-up sessions before and after the DHI. Each activity of the co-working process is designed by applying behavior change techniques such as prompts/cues, framing/reframing, and credible sources in a digital educational environment: creating content using Google Jamboard and Padlet, and working on the metaverse platform ZEP. The responses and feedback from the participants are received through an online reflection diary weekly. Usability and acceptability of digital technology are assessed by an online survey on completion of the DHI. The efficacy of DHI is assessed through the change in dietary behavior and food literacy. This study was designed to enable EMA recognize the harmful effects of an unhealthy diet and co-create solutions through dynamic activities in a digital environment. Further, it may serve to change the cultural sensitivity of native peers that influence the health choices of EMA.
Key messages
• Digital-based intervention would be an effective way for vulnerable ethnic minority adolescents to engage in healthy diet.
• The Living Lab approach was used as an essential strategy to develop a digital health intervention to improve the healthy diet of ethnic minority adolescents.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
As Korea transforms into a multicultural society, social vulnerability of the multicultural adolescents (MAs) puts them at risk for poor health and health disparities. However, there is shortage of evidence on social determinants of health (SDH), which refers to the circumstances of people from birth to death, which affects their health outcomes, for MAs. Thus, this study aims to explore the SDH of MAs from diverse stakeholders’ perspectives.
Methods
This qualitative study comprised 17 focus group interviews with 99 participants (MAs, peers, parents, teachers, neighbors, and community leaders), conducted from June to September 2020. The directed content analysis was conducted using the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Framework with a high rigor level based on the four criteria of Lincoln and Guba’s trustworthiness.
Results
The participants addressed SDH of MAs in five domains: biological (vulnerability and mechanism); behavioral (health behavior, family/school/peer functioning, and policies and laws); physical/built environment (school/community environment); sociocultural environment (MAs'/parental sociodemographic, language proficiency, MAs'/parental acculturation, social network, and response to/interpersonal/local/societal structural discrimination); and health care system (insurance coverage, MAs'/parental health literacy, availability of services, and health care policies). However, limited SDH in biological and physical/built environment domains were identified.
Conclusions
SDH in sociocultural environment domain and interpersonal influence level were the most commonly addressed. Interpersonal discrimination of both MAs and parents were found to be the most important SDH. These findings suggest that future programs to enhance MAs’ health may be targeted toward reducing discrimination and involving their parents.
Key messages
• Sociocultural environment was found to be the most salient SDH domain to affect MAs’ health.
• SDH of MAs are linked to discrimination and their parents’ sociocultural aspects such as acculturation.

Abstract
Abstract
Backgrounds
This study aimed to investigate the differences and clinical significance of effective orifice area (EOA) on Doppler echocardiography and geometric orifice area (GOA) on cardiac computed tomography (CT) in bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS).
Methods
One-hundred sixty-three consecutive patients (age 64±10 years, 56.4% men) with symptomatic bicuspid AS who were referred for surgery and underwent both cardiac CT and echocardiography within 3 months were studied. For the aortic valve area, GOACT was measured by multiplanar CT planimetry, and EOAEcho was calculated by continuity equation with Doppler echocardiography. The associations of GOACT and EOAEcho with the patients' symptom scale, biomarkers, and left ventricular (LV) functional variables were comprehensively analyzed.
Results
There was a significant but modest correlation between EOAEcho and GOACT (r=0.604, p<0.001). Both EOAEcho and GOACT revealed significant correlations with mean pressure gradient and peak transaortic velocity and the coefficients were higher in EOAEcho than GOACT. EOAEcho of 1.05 cm2 and GOACT of 1.25 cm2 correspond to the hemodynamic cut-off values for diagnosing severe AS. EOAEcho was well correlated with patients' symptom scale and log NT-pro BNP, but GOACT was not. In addition, EOAEcho showed higher correlation coefficient with estimated LV filling pressure and LV global longitudinal strain than GOACT.
Conclusions
Both EOAEcho and GOACT can be used to evaluate the severity of bicuspid AS, however, the threshold for GOACT for diagnosing severe AS should be applied higher than that for EOAEcho. EOAEcho tends to be more correlated with the patients' symptom degree, biomarkers, and LV functional variables than GOACT.

Abstract
Abstract
Backgrounds
The summation of early (E) and late diastolic filling (A) on mitral inflow Doppler even in the absence of tachycardia is often found during assessments of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. We evaluated the echocardiographic characteristics and clinical implications of premature E-A summation.
Methods
We identified 1,014 subjects who showed E-A summation and normal LV ejection fraction between January 2019 and June 2021 in two tertiary hospitals. Among these, 105 (10.4%) subjects showed premature E-A summation at heart rates less than 100 beats per minute (bpm). The conventional echocardiographic parameters and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) were compared with 1:1 age, sex, and heart rate matched controls without E-A summation.
Results
The premature E-A summation group had a heart rate of 96.4±3.7 bpm. Only 4 (3.8%) subjects were classified as having LV diastolic dysfunction according to the current guidelines. That group showed prolonged isovolumic relaxation time (107.2±25.3 vs. 61.6±15.6 msec, p<0.001), increased Tei index (0.76±0.19 vs. 0.48±0.10, p<0.001), lower LVEF (63.8±7.0 vs. 67.3±5.6%, p<0.001) and lower absolute LV GLS (|LV GLS|) (17.0±4.2 vs. 19.7±3.3%, p<0.001) than controls. As the E-A summation occurred at lower heart rate, the |LV GLS| was also lower (p for trend=0.002).
Conclusions
The premature E-A summation at heart rates less than 100 bpm is associated with subclinical LV dysfunction. Time-based indices and LV GLS are helpful for evaluating this easily overlooked population.

Abstract
We investigate two types of avoided crossings in a chaotic billiard within the framework of information theory. The Shannon entropy in the phase space for the Landau-Zener interaction increases as the center of the avoided crossing is approached, whereas for the Demkov interaction, the Shannon entropy decreases as the center of avoided crossing is passed by with an increase in the deformation parameter. This feature can provide a new indicator for scar formation. In addition, it is found that the Fisher information of the Landau-Zener interaction is significantly larger than that of the Demkov interaction.

Abstract
The nanoscale patterns produced by bombardment of the (100) surface of silicon with a 2 keV Kr ion beam are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In our experiments, we find that the patterns observed at high ion fluences depend sensitively on the angle of incidence Θ. For Θ values between 74° and 85°, we observe five decidedly different kinds of morphologies, including triangular nanostructures traversed by parallel-mode ripples, long parallel ridges decorated by short-wavelength ripples, and a remarkable mesh-like morphology. In contrast, only parallel-mode ripples are present for low ion fluences except for Θ = 85°. Our simulations show that triangular nanostructures that closely resemble those in our experiments emerge if a linearly dispersive term and a conserved Kuramoto-Sivashinsky nonlinearity are appended to the usual equation of motion. We find ridges traversed by ripples, on the other hand, in simulations of the Harrison-Pearson-Bradley equation (Harrisonet al2017Phys. Rev.E96032804). For Θ = 85°, the solid surface is apparently stable and simulations of an anisotropic Edwards-Wilkinson equation yield surfaces similar to those seen in our experiments. Explaining the other two kinds of patterns we find in our experiments remains a challenge for future theoretical work.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anterior mitral valve leaflet (AMVL) elongation is a recognised feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, whether AMVL elongation precedes left ventricular hypertrophy in cats is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the risk of developing an HCM phenotype in cats with an elongated AMVL. ANIMALS FIFTY-FIVE APPARENTLY HEALTHY CATS WITH A NORMAL BASELINE ECHOCARDIOGRAM AND A FOLLOW-UP ECHOCARDIOGRAM AT >ONE YEAR. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective longitudinal study. Cats at the baseline were grouped based on whether or not they developed an HCM phenotype at follow-up. AMVL length and left atrial and left ventricular dimensions were measured from two-dimensional images. RESULTS The median follow-up period of the study population was 5.4 years (25th and 75th quartile, 2.7-6.7 years). During this time, 17 cats (30.9%) developed an HCM phenotype. At the baseline, cats that subsequently developed an HCM phenotype had greater AMVL length (9.4 mm [25th and 75th quartile, 9.0-10.6 mm] vs. 8.5 mm [25th and 75th quartile, 7.6-9.1 mm], P < 0.0001) and maximal left ventricular wall thickness (4.5 mm [25th and 75th quartile, 4.1-4.7 mm] vs. 4.0 mm [25th and 75th quartile, 3.7-4.6 mm], P = 0.007) than those that did not. Multiple logistic regression analysis confirmed that both baseline variables were independent predictors for development of an HCM phenotype. CONCLUSIONS The AMVL length was greater in cats that subsequently developed left ventricular hypertrophy. Further studies investigating the clinical application of AMVL in the natural history of feline HCM are warranted.

Abstract
Background
Some peripartum-associated cardiomyopathy patients present similarly to those of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), little is known about the clinical course of peripartum TCM.
Purpose
To know clinicial characteristics and outcomes of peripartum TCM, in comparison with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM)
Methods and results
Of 31 pregnancy-associated cardiomyopathy patients in a tertiary hospital, 10 cases of peripartum TCM and 21 cases of PPCM were found. Maternal near-missed death was significantly more common in the peripartum TCM group than in the PPCM group (100.0% vs. 76.2%, p=0.030). Complete recovery was observed with all peripartum TCM cases, while 23.8% of the PPCM cases had residual left ventricle (LV) dysfunction. LV ejection fraction greater than 30% on the initial echocardiogram independently predicted early echocardiographic recovery of left ventricular systolic function (odds ratio 331.33, 95% confidence interval 3.87–28402.60, p=0.011). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of the rate of adverse clinical events at 3 years of follow-up (PPCM group: 26.3% [5/19] vs. TCM group: 33.3% [3/9], p=0.750).
Conclusions
One-third of pregnancy-associated cardiomyopathy patients had peripartum TCM. With contemporary supportive care, both PPCM and peripartum TCM patients had a low mortality rate and excellent long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Nightmares are a frequent and disturbing symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They are associated with sleep disruption and increased psychopathology. There is growing evidence that different types of nightmares may differ in their effects on psychopathology. Previous findings suggest that nightmares that are close replications of the experienced traumatic event might be especially important in the development of PTSD. This study investigated trauma-related (replicative) and non-trauma-related (non-replicative) nightmares as predictors of PTSD in a civilian sample.
Methods
Participants were recruited from the general public of the greater Boston area. The sample consisted of 108 participants who had experienced a psychological trauma in the past 2 years (e.g. sexual or physical assaults and accidents). The criteria for PTSD were met by 49% of participants. PTSD diagnosis was assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR Axis I Disorders-Non-Patient Edition. Participants received an Actiwatch 2 (Philips Respironics, Bend, OR) and a sleep diary for sleep measurements over an average of 14 consecutive nights. The diary included a prospective nightmare assessment and an item assessing the relatedness of each nightmare to traumatic events. Logistic regression analyses were performed with PTSD as the categorical outcome variable.
Results
Our analyses showed that replicative nightmares were the only statistically significant predictor of PTSD (OR = 1.2, p = .027), while controlling for age, sex, time since the traumatic event, and actigraphy total sleep time and minutes awake after sleep onset. All of these variables, including non-replicative nightmares, did not significantly predict PTSD in our analyses.
Conclusion
This study confirms and adds to the existing knowledge of nightmares and the importance of the degree to which they replicate the trauma in the development of PTSD. These findings underline the potential role of specific nightmare treatments after traumatic events, with a special focus on replicative nightmares.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
We examined associations of sleep and hyperarousal with neural responses to a fear conditioning and extinction protocol in trauma-exposed individuals. We hypothesized, greater hyperarousal, poorer sleep quality and more nightmares would accompany greater activation of the salience network (associated with fear) and lesser activation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC; associated with fear regulation) throughout this protocol.
Methods
Persons exposed to trauma within the past 2 years (N=119, 43 with Post-traumatic stress disorder; PTSD) completed the PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5), two weeks of actigraphy and sleep/nightmare diaries, and a 2-day fear-conditioning and extinction protocol during fMRI. Hyperarousal items from PCL-5, sleep quality, and nightmare frequency were used to predict fMRI contrasts representing (1) initial activations to reinforced conditioned stimuli (CS+) during fear conditioning, (2) change in neural activation to CS+s across extinction learning, and, (3) after 24 hours (extinction recall), selective activation to an extinguished (CS+E) versus an un-extinguished CS+.
Results
During fear conditioning, hyperarousal was positively correlated with activation to the CS+ in the right lateral PFC, whereas nightmare frequency was negatively correlated with activations in bilateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Across extinction learning, sleep onset latency (SOL) was negatively correlated with increased activation to CS+ in bilateral insular and dorsal and middle anterior cingulate cortices (salience regions). At extinction recall, nightmare frequency was negatively correlated with selective activation to the CS+E in the left insular cortex.
Conclusion
Except that fewer nightmares predicted greater OFC activation during fear conditioning, results did not support hypothesized relationships of hyperarousal, poor sleep and nightmares with increased salience network and decreased PFC activation to fear-related stimuli.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) exhibit autonomic hyperarousal and nightmares. We hypothesized that REM density (REMD) and REM heart rate variability would predict self-reported hyperarousal, nightmares, and PTSD diagnosis in trauma-exposed individuals.
Methods
Ninety-nine individuals (aged 18-40, 68 females) exposed to a DSM-5 PTSD criterion-A trauma within the past two years (48 meeting PTSD criteria) completed a night of ambulatory polysomnography (PSG) preceded by an acclimation night. REMD in scored sleep recordings were computed using the Matlab program written by Benjamin Yetton. Indices of parasympathetic tone during REM were computed using Kubios software and included Average Root Mean Square of the Successive Differences (RMSSD) and High Frequency power (HFpower). Participants completed two weeks of sleep diaries with nightmare questionnaire and completed the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5) and the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Hyperarousal-item scores were computed from the PCL-5 without the sleep item (PCLhyp) and from the CAPS-5 (CAPShyp), and these scores (with their sleep items) were combined into a Composite Hyperarousal Index (CHI). Nightmare rate was the proportion of sleep diaries reporting a nightmare. Simple regressions measured associations among REMD, REM parasympathetic indices, hyperarousal measures, and nightmare rate.
Results
REMD did not significantly predict PTSD diagnosis or hyperarousal scores but did predict decreased parasympathetic activity for both RMSSD (p= 0.002, R= -0.316) and HFpower (p= 0.016 R= -0.250). REMD predicted increased nightmare rate (p= 0.011 R= 0.262). Parasympathetic tone was negatively correlated with CAPShyp, PCLhyp, and CHI for both RMSSD (p= 0.04, 0.011, <0.000, respectively) and HFpower (p= 0.051, 0.021, 0.010, respectively). Lower parasympathetic tone also predicted PTSD diagnosis with both RMSSD (p=0.012, t=2.559) and HFpower (p=0.010, t=2.627), but did not predict nightmare rate.
Conclusion
REMD predicted decreased parasympathetic tone and higher nightmare rate. Parasympathetic tone, but not REMD, predicted hyperarousal and PTSD diagnosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Hyperarousal and disturbed sleep are intrinsic symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We explored whether self-reported indices of hyperarousal predict longitudinally measured objective, subjective, and retrospective evaluations of sleep quality in trauma-exposed individuals.
Methods
Individuals exposed to a DSM-5 PTSD Criterion-A traumatic event within the past two years (N=130, 91 females), aged 18-40 (mean 24.43, SD 5.30), 51.54% of whom met DSM-5 criteria for PTSD, completed 14 days of actigraphy and sleep diaries. Participants also completed the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5), published Hyperarousal (HAS) and Hypervigilance (HVQ) scales, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (N=108-125 for different scales). Mean total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), sleep efficiency (SE) and sleep midpoint were calculated from actigraphy and subjective SOL, SE, number of awakenings, and time spent awake from diaries. Simple regressions were used to predict associations of the PCL-5, HAS, and HVQ scores with measures of sleep quality.
Results
Hyperarousal indices predicted diary but not actigraphy measures of sleep quality. Longer diary-reported SOL was predicted by higher scores for: PCL-5 total score (R=0.290, p=0.001), PCL-5 hyperarousal items without the sleep item (R=0.261, p=0.004), and HAS without sleep items (R=0.220, p=0.016). Diary-reported number of awakenings and wake time after sleep onset were predicted by higher HAS scores without the sleep question: (R=0.373, p<0.001; r=0.352, p<0.001). Similarly, all hyperarousal indices significantly predicted PSQI global score (PCL-5: R=0.482, p<0.001; PCL-5 hyperarousal: R=0.389, p<0.001; HVQ: R=0.214, p=0.017; HAS without sleep question: R=0.415, p<0.001).
Conclusion
Self-reported hyperarousal measures predict subjective longitudinal (especially SOL) and retrospective measures, but not objective measurements of sleep quality. Similar discrepancies between self-reported and objective measures of sleep quality have been reported in patients with insomnia disorder. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia may be especially effective in treating post-traumatic sleep disturbances.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES First, to investigate the biological variability of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in healthy Labrador retrievers and compare this with current laboratory recommendations for dilated cardiomyopathy screening. Second, to calculate a breed-specific reference interval and validate it in a retrospective cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma NT-proBNP was measured in 51 clinically healthy Labrador retrievers at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks. Coefficient of variation for individual dogs over time, the coefficient of variation for the group at each time point and the index of individuality were calculated. A reference interval was derived and tested on a clinical dataset available from four UK cardiology referral centres. RESULTS Median NT-proBNP was 865 pmol/L (315 to 2064 pmol/L). Mean individual coefficient of variation was 19% (95% CI: 16 to 21%) and group coefficient of variation was 43% (95% CI: 41 to 46%), with index of individuality at 0.44. The breed-specific reference interval was 275 to 2100 pmol/L. In the validation group, 93% of NT-proBNP measurements from healthy dogs were within the reference interval. NT-proBNP measurements exceeded the reference interval in 82% of dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy. The upper bound of the reference interval (2100 pmol/L) had a positive predictive value of 90% and a negative predictive value of 87% for identification of dilated cardiomyopathy in this population. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Breed-specific reference intervals might improve the diagnostic accuracy of NT-proBNP measurement. Applying the currently recommended general cut-off value to Labradors is likely to result in frequent false positives and diagnosis would be improved by application of the new breed-specific reference interval calculated here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most frequently used medical imaging methods. An important application area of CT is dental implants, which require precise inspection and analysis of oral structures. Since CT provides a precise 3D model of the teeth, bones and nerves, it can be used as a surgical guide for dental implants. Along with CT, optical 3D images called stereolithography (STL) have also been widely used. STL images obtained from optical 3D images can be used to show the 3D surfaces of oral structures. Since CT data and STL data deploy different technologies to obtain dental information, we can obtain more accurate dental implants by combining the two datasets. Since the two datasets are acquired by using different sensors, the datasets need to be registered. METHODS An automatic matching algorithm is proposed for CT and STL image registration, which is based on depth maps and maximum intensity projection. Then, fine tuning was performed based on volume matching. RESULTS When applied to real-world databases, the proposed method provided an average matching error of 2.7 mm for the upper jaw and 2.3 mm for the lower jaw with an average processing time of about 19 s. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method performs accurate registration of CT and STL.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
If the size of the tumor is large, neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) is performed to reduce the size of the tumor and to conserve the breast. It is known that magnetic resonance imaging is more accurate than mammography (MMG) or ultrasonography (USG) in determining the area of residual cancer in breast-conserving surgery (BSG) after NST. However, there are some problems when performing BCS using MRI. Because the posture of MRI test is different from the posture at surgery, it is difficult to accurately mark the area of the tumor observed in MRI. Neoadjuvant systemic therapy reduces tumor size and often makes it difficult to detect the original tumor area on preoperative MRI. Even if the tumor is not visible in the image, the cancer cells may remain, so it is important to accurately indicate the extent of the initial tumor and remove it. Until now, however, there has been no way to accurately mark past breast tumors in the breast. We have developed a breast surgical guide (BSG) that can mark a range of tumor directly on the breast using three-dimensional printing technology based on supine MRI. This study analyzed the results of patients who underwent BCS using a 3D printing breast surgical guide (3D-BSG) based on supine MRI.
Methods
This trial was designed as a prospective single-institution cohort study. Our study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea (IRB No. 2016-1237). Patients who were expected to undergo BCS after NST were enrolled in this study and supine MRI was performed before and after NST. From MRI images, morphological shapes of breasts and tumors were modeled. The prepared digital model was saved in stereolithography file format and then exported to a 3D printer. 3D-BSG is designed to be able to mark the skin and attach the dye injecting column to mark the around the tumor. The breast tissue was removed with blue dye on the basis of the border. To obtain tumor free margin, intraoperative frozen sections were identified in several cavities and re-excision was performed if tumor positive.
Results
Between January 2016 and May 2017, 50 patients were enrolled in the study. BCS was applied to 40 patients, except for those who were rejected or mastectomy. Complete remission was observed in 15 patients after NST. Four patients had tumor positive on resection margins on frozen biopsy during operation, two with IDC and two with DCIS. Re-excision was performed in these patients and tumor negative margin was confirmed in all patients in the final pathology results. The median size of the long axis of the tumor was 1.7 cm (range, 0.5 to 4.5 cm) and the median size of the long axis of the removed breast tissue was 5.1 cm (range, 2.3 to 8.1 cm). The distance between tumor and resection margin was 1.2 cm (range, 0.1 to 4.8 cm)..
Conclusions
In BCS, the application of the supine MRI based 3D-BSG showed low rates of positive margins. Unlike conventional localization techniques, application of 3D-BSG does not cause pain to the patient, has no radiation exposure, and has no time required for the localization procedure, so it will be helpful for patients in BCS in the future.

Abstract
We report the case of a breast cancer patient in whom a two-phase 18F-sodium-fluoride (18F-NaF) bone PET/CT was useful for detecting hidden bone metastases and assessing treatment response. The patient underwent a two-phase bone PET/CT to evaluate a newly developed lesion found on bone scintigraphy following surgery. In the perfusion and bone phase PET/CT images, focally increased perfusion and bony uptake were found in the sacrum and L5 vertebra, suggesting bone metastases of breast cancer. Therefore, the patient subsequently underwent palliative treatment. In another twoPET/CT studies (each including two-phase bone images) performed after 3and 6months of follow-up, the perfusion phase images showed an improvement of the lesion uptake more clearly than in the bone phase images in the visual and semi-quantitative analyses, and thus the perfusion phase images were more useful for clarifying the treatment response earlier than the bone phase images. This is the first case showing the clinical usefulness of 18F-NaF bone PET/CT with the perfusion imaging technique for evaluating bone metastases and the therapeutic response of metastatic bone lesions.

Abstract
Graphene can acquire salient properties by the intercalated nano structures, and to functionalize the graphene as designed, understanding the growth kinetics of the nano structures is a prerequisite. In that regards, Kr atoms are selectively intercalated just below the surface graphene of C(0001) by the incidence of low energy Kr ions. The growth kinetics of the encapsulated Kr nano structures is investigated by both scanning tunneling microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. The intercalation proceeds via defect sites, such as surface vacancies. At room temperature, the thermal diffusion of intercalated Kr is almost frustrated by the strain field of the encapsulating graphene layers, and the growth of Kr nano structures proceeds via the transient mobility of both the intercalating Kr atoms and previously intercalated Kr atoms that are mobilized by collision with the incident Kr ions. At the elevated temperatures where thermal diffusion becomes effective, some Kr nano structures disappear, releasing pressurized Kr atoms, while others coalesce to form blisters via the delamination of the adjacent graphene. Some of the larger blisters explode to leave craters of varying depths at the surface. In contrast to growth on the substrate, the growth of each encapsulated nano structure depends significantly on extrinsic variables, such as surface vacancies and local topography around the nano structure, that affect the Kr diffusion and limit the maximal Kr pressure.

Abstract
Whether or not epitaxially grown superconducting films have the same bulk-like superconducting properties is an important concern. We report the structure and the electronic properties of epitaxially grown Ba(Fe1-x Co x )2As2 films using scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). This film showed a different surface structure, [Formula: see text]R45° reconstruction, from those of as-cleaved surfaces from bulk crystals. The electronic structure of the grown film is different from that in bulk, and it is notable that the film exhibits the same superconducting transport properties. We found that the superconducting gap at the surface is screened at the Ba layer surface in STS measurements, and the charge density wave was observed at the surface in sample in the superconducting state.

Abstract
Nanopatterning at solid surfaces by ion beam sputtering (IBS) has been practiced mostly for stationary substrates with an ion beam incident under a fixed sputter geometry. We have released such constraints in the sputter condition. We simultaneously apply two ion beams or sequentially vary the orientation of substrate with respect to an ion beam. We also periodically change either the azimuthal or polar angle of the substrate with respect to an ion beam during IBS. These unconventional ways of IBS can improve the order of the pattern, and produce novel and non trivial nano patterns that well serve as touch stones to refine the theoretical models and thus deepen our understanding of the patterning mechanisms by IBS.
