Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is usually treated with disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), including biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) and more recently, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi). Randomized trials suggest similar infection risks for JAKi and bDMARDs, but real-world data are scarce. METHODS From a nationally representative prescription database, adult RA patients starting a new JAKi or bDMARD between August 1st, 2018, and January 31st, 2021, were included. Prescriptions of antibiotic, antiviral or antifungal medication were used as proxy for infections. Infection incidence rates (IR) were compared between JAKi and bDMARDs and infection risks were estimated using multilevel Poisson regression adjusted for follow-up time and potential confounders and stratified for age < 65 and ≥ 65 years. RESULTS In 14,989 patients, we identified 20,050 treatment episodes with either JAKi or bDMARDs. The infection IR was significantly higher in JAKi (48/100 patient years) compared bDMARDs (35/100 patient years, adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.22, 95% CI 1.12-1.33). More herpes zoster infections were seen in JAKi compared to bDMARDs (adjusted IRR 2.65, 95% CI 1.94-3.60). No significant differences in infection IRs were found comparing JAKi baricitinib and tofacitinib. In older patients, infection IRs were higher, but IRRs were similar between age groups. CONCLUSION In comparison to bDMARDs, JAKi are associated with a slightly higher infection risk and a higher risk of herpes zoster specifically. In older patients, infection IRs are higher but similar infection risks for JAKi and bDMARDs are observed. No differences in infection risk between tofacitinib and baricitinib were found. Key Points • Compared to bDMARDs, JAKi are associated with a slightly higher infection risk for all ages • An increased risk of herpes zoster in patients who use JAK inhibitors was confirmed • No significant differences in infection incidence were found between tofacitinib and baricitinib.

Abstract
Background Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) has been shown to be safe and efficacious in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) aged ≥2 years. Here, we describe results from an observational study assessing change in burden of illness following initiating ELX/TEZ/IVA in real-world settings. Methods This US-based, multicenter, observational study used data from electronic medical records to evaluate real-world burden of illness before and after ELX/TEZ/IVA initiation in people with CF aged ≥12 years heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function mutation (F/MF) or an uncharacterized CFTR mutation. Endpoints included absolute change from baseline in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (ppFEV1), body mass index (BMI) and BMI-for-age z-score, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and numbers of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx). Results Overall, 206 people with CF were enrolled (mean [SD] age 22.5 [11.1] years; 192 [93.2%] with F/MF genotype). Mean follow-up was 15.6 (SD, 1.6) months. Improvements in ppFEV1 (7.3 [95% CI: 5.7, 8.8] percentage points) were observed from baseline through follow-up. Increases in BMI (1.40 [95% CI: 1.07, 1.77] kg/m2) and BMI-for-age z-score (0.14 [95% CI: 0.00, 0.28]) were also observed from baseline at 12 months. The estimated annualized rate of any PEx was 1.31 at baseline and 0.61 over follow-up (rate ratio 0.47 [95% CI: 0.39, 0.55]), with annualized rates of PEx requiring antibiotics and hospitalizations of 0.55 and 0.88 in the baseline period and 0.12 and 0.36 over follow-up (rate ratios 0.22 [95% CI: 0.15, 0.31] and 0.41 [95% CI: 0.32, 0.51]), respectively. Absolute change in HbA1c was -0.22 (95% CI: -0.38, -0.06) from baseline through follow-up. Conclusions ELX/TEZ/IVA treatment was associated with improved lung function, increased BMI, reduced frequency of PEx, and improved (i.e., reduced) HbA1c. These results confirm the broad clinical benefits of ELX/TEZ/IVA seen in clinical trials and show the potential for ELX/TEZ/IVA to improve markers of glucose metabolism.

Reduction in healthcare resource use through 24 months following sinus surgery with steroid-eluting implants in chronic rhinosinusitis patients with and without nasal polyps: a real-world study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of steroid-eluting implants after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on health care resource use (HCRU) in chronic rhinosinusitis patients with (CRSwNP) and without (CRSsNP) nasal polyps. METHODS This retrospective, observational cohort study using real-world evidence data included adult patients with CRS who underwent ESS in 2015-2019 with at least 24 months of data before and after ESS. Patients who received implants were matched to patients who did not based on a propensity score developed using baseline characteristics and NP status. HCRU was compared between cohorts within each CRSwNP and CRSsNP subgroup using chi-square tests (binary variables). RESULTS The implant cohort in the CRSwNP subgroup had fewer all-cause outpatient (90.0% vs. 93.9%, p < .001) and all-cause otolaryngology (64.3% vs. 76.4%, p < .001) visits as well as fewer endoscopy (40.5% vs. 47.4%, p = .005) and debridement (48.8% vs. 55.6%, p = .007) procedures than the non-implant cohort. The implant cohort in the CRSsNP subgroup had fewer all-cause outpatient (88.9% vs. 94.2%, p < .001) and all-cause otolaryngology (53.5% vs. 74.4%, p < .001) visits as well as fewer endoscopy (31.8% vs. 41.7%, p < .001) and debridement (36.7% vs. 53.4%, p <.001) procedures than the non-implant cohort. Revision sinus surgery was reduced in the implant cohort in both subgroups, and reached statistical significance in the CRSwNP subgroup (3.8% vs. 6.0%, p = .039) but not in the CRSsNP subgroup (3.6% vs. 4.2%, p = .539). CONCLUSIONS Overall, patients receiving implants had lower HCRU for 24 months after sinus surgery independent of nasal polyp status, and revision surgery was reduced in CRSwNP patients. These findings provide additional evidence that long-term reductions in HCRU may be achieved with steroid-eluting implant use during sinus surgery.What is known on this topicPatients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) have a disproportionately higher burden of disease and consume greater healthcare resources than chronic rhinosinusitis patients without nasal polyps (CRSsNP).CRSwNP patients represent approximately 30% of CRS patients who undergo surgery, but their clinical course is disproportionally complicated by disease recurrence and revision surgery.Steroid-eluting sinus implants have been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term postoperative outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in CRS patients in general.A recent real-world evidence study reported that steroid-eluting sinus implants following ESS were associated with a reduction in HCRU in CRS patients followed for 18 months, but the impact of implants on HCRU in CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients separately remains unknown. What this study addsIn this observational study, reduced HCRU was observed in CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients who receive steroid-eluting sinus implants.Use of implants in CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients was associated with a significant reduction in healthcare visits (all-cause outpatient, all-cause otolaryngology), and sinus procedures (endoscopy, debridement).Revision surgery was significantly reduced in the implant cohort of CRSwNP patients and trended lower in the implant cohort of CRSsNP patients.Use of implants had no significant impact on all-cause ER/urgent care visits or sinus-related imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess whether 24-hr urine oxalate (UOx) excretion is a risk factor for incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This longitudinal observational US-based study included 426,896 individuals age ≥ 18 years with no CKD at baseline and with at least one UOx and at least 6 months of baseline and 6 months of follow-up data. Of these, 11,239 (2.6%) had an underlying malabsorptive condition. Incident CKD, defined by relevant ICD codes, was identified from a multi-source data cloud containing individual-level healthcare claims and electronic medical records data. The association between categories of UOx and incident CKD was modeled using logistic regression adjusting for age, sex, race, BMI, baseline urine calcium, urine citrate, urine volume, tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes, malabsorption, and cardiovascular disease. RESULTS Mean follow-up time was 38.9 months (SD 21.7). Compared with individuals with UOx <20 mg/24-hr, the odds of developing incident CKD increased for UOx 20-29 mg/24-hr (multivariate-adjusted (MV) OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.21) through 80+ mg/24-hr (MVOR: 1.35 [1.21, 1.50] and was statistically significant for each UOx category. A similar pattern was seen in the subgroup with a malabsorptive condition though the magnitudes of association were larger, with the odds of developing incident CKD increased for UOx 20-29 mg/24-hr (MVOR: 1.50 [1.03, 2.20] through 80+ mg/24-hr (MVOR: 2.34 [1.50, 3.63] as compared with UOx <20 mg/24-hr. CONCLUSIONS The risk of incident CKD increases with increasing 24-hr urine oxalate excretion. Future studies should examine whether reducing urine oxalate diminishes the risk of developing CKD.

Abstract
AIMS 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) is routinely used for the pre-treatment staging of oesophageal or gastro-oesophageal junction cancers (EGEJC). The aim of this study was to identify objective 18FDG-PET/CT-derived parameters that can aid in predicting the patterns of recurrence and prognostication in patients with EGEJC. PATIENTS AND METHODS EGEJC patients referred for consideration of preoperative chemoradiation therapy were identified and clinicopathological data were collected. 18FDG-PET/CT imaging data were reviewed and correlated with treatment outcomes. Maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumour volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis were assessed and association with recurrence-free survival (RFS), locoregional recurrence-free survival (LR-RFS), oesophageal cancer-specific survival (ECSS) and overall survival were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, as well as Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier models. RESULTS In total, 191 EGEJC patients completed trimodality treatment and 164 with 18FDG-PET/CT data were included in this analysis. At the time of analysis, 15 (9.1%), 70 (42.7%) and two (1.2%) patients were noted to have locoregional, distant and both locoregional and distant metastases, respectively. The median RFS was 30 months (9.6-50.4) and the 5-year RFS was 31.1%. The 5-year overall survival and ECSS were both noted to be 34.8%. Pre-treatment MTV25 > 28.5 cm3 (P = 0.029), MTV40 > 12.4 cm3 (P = 0.018) and MTV50 > 10.2 cm3 (P = 0.005) predicted for worse LR-RFS, ECSS and overall survival for MTV definition of voxels ≥25%, 40% and 50% of SUVmax. CONCLUSION 18FDG-PET/CT parameters MTV and total lesion glycolysis are useful prognostic tools to predict for LR-RFS, ECSS and overall survival in EGEJC. MTV had the highest accuracy in predicting clinical outcomes. The volume cut-off points we identified for different MTV thresholds predicted outcomes with significant accuracy and may potentially be used for decision making in clinical practice.

Abstract
The inclusive electron neutrino charged-current cross section is measured in the NOvA near detector using 8.02×10^{20} protons-on-target in the NuMI beam. The sample of GeV electron neutrino interactions is the largest analyzed to date and is limited by ≃17% systematic rather than the ≃7.4% statistical uncertainties. The double-differential cross section in final-state electron energy and angle is presented for the first time, together with the single-differential dependence on Q^{2} (squared four-momentum transfer) and energy, in the range 1 GeV≤E_{ν}<6 GeV. Detailed comparisons are made to the predictions of the GENIE, GiBUU, NEUT, and NuWro neutrino event generators. The data do not strongly favor a model over the others consistently across all three cross sections measured, though some models have especially good or poor agreement in the single differential cross section vs Q^{2}.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare healthcare resource use (HCRU) in patients undergoing sinus surgery with or without steroid-eluting sinus implants. METHODS A retrospective, observational cohort study using real-world evidence data (OM1, Inc, Boston, MA, USA) was conducted on adult patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with or without nasal polyps who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery between 2014 and 2019 and had at least 18 months of data both before and after surgery. Patients receiving implants ("implant cohort") were matched to patients who did not receive implants ("non-implant cohort") based on a propensity score developed using baseline characteristics. Chi-square for binary variables and analysis of variance tests for continuous variables were applied to compare HCRU measures. RESULTS Comparison of the implant (N = 1983) and non-implant (N = 1983) cohorts during the 18-month follow-up period demonstrated significantly lower HCRU in those receiving implants, including all-cause outpatient visits (94.3% vs. 96.6%, p < .001), all-cause otolaryngologist visits (47.3% vs. 59.6%, p < .001) and all cause ER/urgent care visits (9.2% vs. 11.8%, p = .007), as well as sinus-related endoscopies (39.1% vs. 43.8%, p = .003). Although not statistically significant, fewer patients in the implant cohort had undergone repeat surgeries (4.6% vs. 5.3%, p = .273). CONCLUSION Patients with steroid-eluting sinus implants had lower HCRU over a post-operative period of 18 months. These findings support the contention that reductions in HCRU may be achieved using steroid-eluting implants during sinus surgery.What is known on this topicChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) causes severe symptoms that lead to poor quality of life.Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is 76-98% effective in improving CRS patients' symptoms.Surgical outcomes can be compromised in the immediate post-operative period by scarring, adhesion formation, and early polyp recurrence.Oral and topical corticosteroid therapy has become integral to the maintenance of successful surgical outcomes, the management of post-operative scarring and edema, and the prevention of nasal polyp recurrence.Steroid-eluting sinus implants have been shown in clinical trials to improve postoperative outcomes after ESS by delivering localized, sustained release of corticosteroids directly onto inflamed sinus tissue.What this study addsThis observational study is one of the first to use real-world evidence to assess the effect of steroid-eluting sinus implants on healthcare resource use (HCRU) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent sinus surgery with or without implants.Use of implants significantly reduced HCRU, including all-cause outpatient visits (94.3% vs 96.6%, p < .001), all-cause otolaryngologist visits (47.3% vs 59.6%, p < .001), and all-cause ER/urgent care visits (9.2% vs 11.8%, p = .007), as well as sinus endoscopy (39.1% vs 43.8%, p = .003).Use of implants had no significant effect on sinus procedures such as debridement and polypectomy, as well as sinus-related imaging such as CT, MRI, and x-ray.

Abstract
This Letter reports results from the first long-baseline search for sterile antineutrinos mixing in an accelerator-based antineutrino-dominated beam. The rate of neutral-current interactions in the two NOvA detectors, at distances of 1 and 810 km from the beam source, is analyzed using an exposure of 12.51×10^{20} protons-on-target from the NuMI beam at Fermilab running in antineutrino mode. A total of 121 of neutral-current candidates are observed at the far detector, compared to a prediction of 122±11(stat.)±15(syst.) assuming mixing only between three active flavors. No evidence for ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{s} oscillation is observed. Interpreting this result within a 3+1 model, constraints are placed on the mixing angles θ_{24}<25° and θ_{34}<32° at the 90% C.L. for 0.05 eV^{2}≤Δm_{41}^{2}≤0.5 eV^{2}, the range of mass splittings that produces no significant oscillations at the near detector. These are the first 3+1 confidence limits set using long-baseline accelerator antineutrinos.

Abstract
The 20th annual Western Canadian Gastrointestinal Cancer Consensus Conference was held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 28-29 September 2018. This interactive multidisciplinary conference is attended by health care professionals from across Western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) who are involved in the care of patients with gastrointestinal cancers. In addition, invited speakers from other provinces participate. Surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists, and allied health care professionals participated in presentations and discussion sessions for the purpose of developing the recommendations presented here. This consensus statement addresses current issues in the management of colorectal cancers.

Abstract
The NOvA experiment has seen a 4.4σ signal of ν[over ¯]_{e} appearance in a 2 GeV ν[over ¯]_{μ} beam at a distance of 810 km. Using 12.33×10^{20} protons on target delivered to the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beamline, the experiment recorded 27 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{e} candidates with a background of 10.3 and 102 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{μ} candidates. This new antineutrino data are combined with neutrino data to measure the parameters |Δm_{32}^{2}|=2.48_{-0.06}^{+0.11}×10^{-3} eV^{2}/c^{4} and sin^{2}θ_{23} in the ranges from (0.53-0.60) and (0.45-0.48) in the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. The data exclude most values near δ_{CP}=π/2 for the inverted mass hierarchy by more than 3σ and favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy by 1.9σ and θ_{23} values in the upper octant by 1.6σ.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Most patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction (gej) cancer are diagnosed with inoperable advanced or metastatic disease. In these cases, chemotherapy is the only treatment demonstrating survival benefit. The present study compares clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes for patients with advanced esophageal, gej, and gastric adenocarcinoma treated with first-line chemotherapy [epirubicin-cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (ecf), epirubicin-cisplatin-capecitabine (ecx), or etoposide-leucovorin-5-fluorouracil (elf)] or best supportive care (bsc) at our institution with those for historical controls. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical information for 401 patients with newly diagnosed advanced esophageal, gej, or gastric adenocarcinoma treated with first-line chemotherapy (ecf, ecx, or elf) or bsc from January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2010. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the data collected with data for historical control patients. RESULTS Of the study patients, 93% were diagnosed with metastatic disease (n = 374), and 63% received bsc only (n = 251). The main reasons that patients received bsc only included poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (55%), patient decision (31%), and comorbidities (14%). Of the remaining patients, 98 (24%) received ecf or ecx and 52 (13%) received elf as first-line treatment. Median overall survival was significantly longer in patients treated with ecf or ecx or with elf than in those receiving bsc (12.7 months vs. 12.7 months vs. 5.5 months respectively). Chemotherapy also significantly reduced the risk of death (64% reduction with ecf or ecx, 58% with elf). CONCLUSIONS We confirmed the substantial overall survival benefit of combination chemotherapy compared with bsc, with better survival in our patient population than in historical controls. However, novel treatment options are still warranted to improve outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
Joint bleeding, or haemarthrosis, is the most common type of bleeding episode experienced by individuals with haemophilia A and B. This leads to changes within the joints, including synovial proliferation, which results in further bleeding and chronic synovitis. Blood in the joint can also directly damage the cartilage, and with repeated bleeding, there is progressive destruction of both cartilage and bone. The end result is known as haemophilic arthropathy. The joints most commonly affected are the knees, elbows and ankles, although any synovial joint may be involved. In the ankle, both the tibiotalar and subtalar joints may be affected and joint bleeding and arthropathy can lead to a number of deformities. Haemophilic arthropathy can be prevented through regular factor replacement prophylaxis and implementing physiotherapy. However, when necessary, there are multiple surgical and non-surgical options available. In early ankle arthropathy with absent or minimal joint changes, both radioisotopic and chemical synoviorthesis can be used to reduce the hypertrophied synovium. These procedures can decrease the frequency of bleeding episodes, minimizing the risk of articular cartilage damage. Achilles tendon lengthening can be performed, in isolation or in combination with other surgical measures, to correct Achilles tendon contractures. Both arthroscopic and open synovectomies are available as a means to remove the friable villous layer of the synovium and are often indicated when bleeding episodes cannot be properly controlled by factor replacement therapy or synoviorthesis. In the later stages of ankle arthropathy, other surgical options may be considered. Debridement may be indicated when there are loose pieces of cartilage or anterior osteophytes, and can help to improve the joint function, even in the presence of articular cartilage damage. Supramalleolar tibial osteotomy may be indicated in patients with a valgus deformity of the hindfoot without degenerative radiographic findings. Joint fusion, or arthrodesis, is the treatment of choice in the advanced stages of ankle arthropathy although total ankle replacement is currently available. Early ankle replacement components were associated with a poor outcome, but as implant designs have improved, there have been successful outcomes achieved. As the ankle is a commonly affected joint in many individuals with haemophilia, it is important to add to the knowledge base to validate indications and timing of surgical and non-surgical interventions in ankle arthropathy.

Abstract
For individuals with haemophilia, the benefits of many forms of physical activity outweigh their risks. Although activities with significant trauma risk should be avoided, persons who have haemophilia can participate in, enjoy and even excel in a variety of physical activities and sports. Both the National Hemophilia Foundation and the World Foundation of Hemophilia have produced documents to guide individuals with haemophilia and their healthcare professionals, coaches and parents in developing physical activity programmes and participation in sports. Physical activity guidelines for promoting health benefits exist worldwide and can be incorporated into individualized exercise programmes to ensure that a person with haemophilia is not only choosing appropriate activities, but also improving overall health and preparing the body to manage haemophilia better. Physiotherapy treatment is paramount in helping individuals prevent, manage and optimally recover from bleeds. Furthermore, the physical therapist, along with the haemophilia care team, can assist in preparing an individual to begin or progress to a physical activity programme that enhances fitness level, body composition and overall well-being. This article presents the unique role of the physiotherapist in facilitating safe participation in quality physical activity in the context of risks, benefits and activity recommendations. Participation in physical activity from an early age is ideal to facilitate the development of body awareness and capability and to foster the adoption of a physically active lifestyle; however, it is never too late to start. Consistent participation in quality physical activity beginning at any age is central to managing haemophilia and, equally important, to achieving overall health and well-being.

Abstract
Physical activity is a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise and physical activity have been shown to help maintain a healthy body weight, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and feelings of wellbeing, control blood pressure, and prevent heart disease and diabetes. Children with haemophilia may feel restricted from competing in sports through parental concern or pain and difficulty in moving, or they may rebel against such restrictions, thus leaving themselves open to serious injury. Several groups have attempted to classify sports activities with regard to the level of risk involved; however, these are not consistent. It is important to match the child's abilities with the sport in which they want to take part, and suggest alternatives if this is not possible. Prevention of injury should not depend solely on use of factor concentrates.

Abstract
Bleeding into the joints is the most common manifestation of severe haemophiliacs. Although it may resolve spontaneously or with treatment, some patients find that one particular joint has recurrent bleeding; this is termed a target joint. Recurrent bleeding prevents the joint from regaining its range of motion, muscle strength and normal appearance. These changes become permanent, leading eventually to osteoarthritis. A target joint requires urgent and comprehensive treatment, especially in young patients, if permanent damage is to be prevented. Treatment with factor concentrate prophylaxis and physiotherapy can help to prevent new bleeds and allow the synovitis to resolve, but for persistent synovitis, synovectomy is recommended. The target ankle joint is a special challenge as it often develops in very young children when the articular cartilage is susceptible and compliance with conservative treatment is difficult.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate triage of patients for short term observation after elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), as appropriate selection of patients for short term observation after angioplasty may facilitate early discharge. METHODS 1015 consecutive patients scheduled for elective PTCA were prospectively included for short term observation. Patients with unstable angina Braunwald class III were excluded. There were no angiographic exclusion criteria. Patients were discharged from the interventional centre when considered stable during 4 hours of observation after PTCA. It was left to the operator's discretion whether to prolong the observation period. Procedural complications were defined as death, coronary bypass surgery, early repeat PTCA, and myocardial infarction. OUTCOME MEASURES The need for prolonged observation (> 4 hours) and the occurrence of complications. Predictors for prolonged observation and the occurrence of complications after the 4 hours observation were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS Two patients died, including one of six patients who underwent emergency bypass surgery. In all, 922 patients (90.8%) were triaged to short term observation and had an uncomplicated three day follow up. Observation was prolonged in 87 patients (8.6%), and 40 patients had a complicated course. Independent predictors of procedural complications were acute closure (odds ratio (OR) 9.7; 95% confidence interval 4.4 to 21.4), side branch occlusion (OR 8.9; 3.4 to 23.7), no angiographic success (OR 5.1; 2.4 to 11.0), female sex (OR 3.1, 1.7 to 5.7), any unplanned stent (OR 2.8, 1.4 to 5.9), and ostial lesion (OR 2.2, 1.0 to 4.7). CONCLUSIONS A 4 hour observation period is safe after elective coronary angioplasty. As procedural variables are the strongest predictors of postprocedural complications, the immediate procedural results allow effective triage of patients for short term or prolonged observation in order to anticipate complications.

Abstract
Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and ECP/eosinophil ratio were measured in 223 apparently healthy subjects. The serum sample for ECP measurement was obtained by standardized clotting of the blood sample for 2 hours at 37 degrees C. Eosinophil count, ECP concentration and ECP/eosinophil ratio were no different between men (n = 122) and women (n = 101). Reference ranges for serum ECP and ECP/eosinophil ratio were 12-99 micrograms/L and 61-367 micrograms ECP per 10(9) eosinophils, respectively. Serum ECP and blood eosinophil count were positively correlated (y = 141x + 18, R2 = 0.45, P < 0.001). The ECP/eosinophil ratio, however, was found to decrease with increasing eosinophil count. Twenty-three per cent of the apparently healthy subjects were found to have a positive score for immunoglobulin E antibodies specific to inhalant allergens, and thus were considered atopic. Serum ECP concentrations and eosinophil counts were significantly higher in this group compared with the non-atopic group. In this healthy population no decision level for either eosinophil count, serum ECP or ECP/eosinophil ratio could be found that discriminated atopic from non-atopic individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of ambulation of patients two hours after elective coronary angioplasty or stenting, or both. METHODS Coronary angioplasty and stenting were performed using 6 F guiding catheters by the femoral approach and a standard dose of heparin 5000 IU. There were no angiographic exclusion criteria except for planned atherectomy. Patients given oral anticoagulants or heparin were not eligible. All patients were given aspirin. Patients who underwent stent implantation also received ticlopidine 250 mg daily. The arterial sheath was removed immediately after the procedure. Haemostasis was achieved by manual compression and maintained with an inguinal compression bandage. Early ambulation was attempted after two hours of supine bed rest following removal of the bandage. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The incidence of bleeding at or during ambulation requiring compression and additional bed rest, and puncture site complications documented 48 hours after the procedure. RESULTS 300 of 359 consecutive eligible patients were included for two hour ambulation. Stent implantation was performed in 32% of the procedures. The mean (SD) time to haemostasis was 9.6 (3.2) minutes. Bleeding at ambulation occurred in five patients (1.7%), and nine patients (3.0%) reached the secondary end point of haematoma > 5 x 5 cm at 48 hour follow up. All were treated conservatively without further sequelae. There was no late bleeding or vascular complications. CONCLUSION Ambulation two hours after elective balloon angioplasty or stent implantation with 6 F guiding catheters by the femoral route and low dose heparin is feasible and safe, with a low incidence of puncture site complications. This early ambulation protocol facilitates a short hospital stay.

Abstract
In a prospective evaluation of the safety of short-term observation after elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in 1,900 consecutive patients, 1 of 1,680 patients triaged to discharge after 4 hours of observation reached the primary end point of acute recurrent ischemia, 7 patients underwent repeat PTCA during 4 hours of observation, and 66 of 187 patients selected for prolonged observation had a complicated course. It is concluded that short-term observation after elective coronary angioplasty is safe, with a negligible risk of vessel closure after this period; triage for prolonged observation can be based appropriately on the immediate procedural result.

Abstract
The safety and feasibility of early ambulation was evaluated prospectively in 907 patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty and stenting with the use of 6Fr guiding catheters, low-dose heparin (5,000 IU), and immediate postprocedural sheath removal by comparing ambulation after 4 hours with immobilization for at least 12 hours. Because no excess in puncture site complications (2.3% vs 2.2%) could be demonstrated after 4-hour ambulation, it is concluded that early ambulation after 6Fr guiding catheter angioplasty by the femoral route with low-dose heparin is feasible, safe, and may facilitate a shorter hospital stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety of a low dose of heparin in consecutive stable patients undergoing elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). DESIGN Open prospective study in a single centre. PATIENTS 1375 consecutive patients had elective PTCA (1952 lesions: type A 11%, B1 34%, B2 36%, and C 19%). There were no angiographic exclusion criteria. INTERVENTIONS A bolus of 5000 IU heparin was used as the standard anticoagulation regimen during PTCA. The sheaths were removed immediately after successful completion of the procedure. Prolongation of heparin treatment was left to the operator's discretion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Procedural success was defined as < 50% residual stenosis without death from any cause, acute myocardial infarction, urgent coronary bypass surgery, or repeat angioplasty within 48 hours for acute recurrent ischaemia; the need for prolonged heparinisation; and the occurrence of puncture site complications. RESULTS Procedural success without clinical events was achieved in 90% of patients. Mortality was 0.3%; coronary bypass surgery was performed in 1.7% of the procedures. The rate of myocardial infarction was 3.3%; repeat angioplasty within 48 hours was carried out in 0.7% of patients. A total of 89.1% of the patients were treated according to the protocol. Prolonged treatment with heparin was considered necessary in 123 patients (8.9%). Repeat angioplasty for abrupt closure was performed in two patients shortly after sheath removal and in two during prolonged heparinisation. Puncture site complications occurred in 2.1% of patients (low dose heparin 1.9% and prolonged heparinisation 4.9%). CONCLUSION Elective PTCA can be safely performed using a low dose of heparin, with a negligible risk for subacute closure. Low dose heparin may reduce the incidence of puncture site complications, shorten hospitalisation, and enable out-patient angioplasty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of the waiting time for elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) on the primary success rate. SETTING University hospital in The Netherlands. PATIENTS A cohort of 817 consecutive patients awaiting elective PTCA. Scheduled PTCA was performed in all 817 patients, involving 1237 coronary lesions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The relation between procedural success and the duration of the waiting time was evaluated. Major cardiac events, that is, death and myocardial infarction while awaiting PTCA, were documented. Alterations in lesion characteristics during the waiting time were assessed in unsuccessful procedures. RESULTS Elective PTCA was performed within one to six weeks after acceptance in 388 patients (587 lesions; 47.5%), between six and 12 weeks in 203 patients (308 lesions; 25%), and after more than 12 weeks in 226 patients (342 lesions; 27.5%). The procedural success rates in the defined time intervals were 97%, 99%, and 97% in ACC/AHA type A lesions, 93%, 87% and 90% in type B lesions, and 63%, 55% and 38% in type C lesions respectively; 96% of type C lesions were total coronary occlusions. There was a significant decrease in primary success rate in type C lesions after a waiting time beyond 12 weeks. A reasonable explanation for an unsuccessful angioplasty related to alterations in lesion characteristics during the waiting time was documented in only four of 115 procedures. CONCLUSIONS The primary success in type A and B lesions is unaffected by the duration of a waiting period for elective PTCA. A waiting time of more than 12 weeks is associated with a lower success rate in patients with total coronary occlusions.

Abstract
The efficacy of 6 French guiding catheters for angioplasty of chronic total coronary occlusions was evaluated in 61 consecutive patients. The duration of the occlusion was determined angiographically, or estimated from an index clinical event. Endpoints were procedural success, defined as recanalization with less than 50% residual stenosis without major complications; and the need to change to larger-sized guiding catheters. Recanalization was attempted in 62 chronic total occlusions; 35 were located in the left anterior descending coronary artery, 18 in the right coronary artery, and 9 in the left circumflex coronary artery. The mean duration of the occlusion was 6.0 +/- 6.6 months; the range was 2-39 months. Lesion morphology included abrupt or diffuse occlusion (55%), a side branch originating at the occlusion (47%), and bridging collaterals (23%). Death, urgent coronary bypass surgery, or myocardial infarction did not occur. Recanalization was successful in 51 of the 62 total occlusions (82%); 49 were completed successfully with a 6 French guiding catheter, and 2 were successful after changing to a larger-sized guiding catheter (which was required for peripheral vessel tortuosity in one patient, and to obtain better back-up support in another). Three other attempts remained unsuccessful after a changing. A total of 12 Palmaz-Schatz stents were implanted in 11 patients for an unsatisfactory result or type C dissection, using the same 6 French guiding catheters. These preliminary findings indicate that 6 French guiding catheters are both effective and safe for angioplasty of chronic total occlusions.

Abstract
Variation in the sialylation pattern of transferrin was studied in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 90 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), dementing and non-dementing, de novo and treated, and was compared with the variation observed in a group of 21 age-matched healthy controls. In serum and CSF of PD patients the proportional contribution of the different sialo-transferrins was independent of sex or dementia. However, a significant shift was found towards the more sialylated fractions for serum transferrin in both de novo and treated PD patients. This shift was not observed for CSF transferrin. The contribution of the tau-transferrin fraction, reduced in de novo PD patients, returns on treatment to the level observed for healthy controls. These observations may be important, as the degree of sialylation of transferrin in serum and CSF plays a role in the homeostasis of iron, and suggest that alterations in transferrin sialylation may play a role in the pathophysiology of PD.

Abstract
We studied the effect of nitrate contamination of drinking water on volume and function of the thyroid in human populations exposed to different nitrate levels in their drinking water. Two sets of low and medium (tap) water, respectively medium and high (well) water nitrate exposure groups were compared. Drinking of nitrate-contaminated water was dose-dependently related with 24-h urinary nitrate excretion and salivary nitrate levels. No iodine deficiency was observed in any of the nitrate exposure groups. A dose-dependent difference in the volume of the thyroid was observed between low and medium vs. high nitrate exposure groups, showing development of hypertrophy at nitrate levels exceeding 50 mg/l. An inverse relationship was established between the volume of the thyroid and serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.

Abstract
After ovulation, the fertile life of oocytes is short. In the present study, the fertile life of oocytes was studied in relation to the resumption of meiosis. Early on the day of pro-oestrus, meiotic resumption was advanced in rats by a brief infusion of LH; ovulation was induced 8 h later by Ovalyse, a GnRH analogue; rats were mated 13 h after receiving Ovalyse, that is at about the time of ovulation. Rats in which meiosis was not advanced were injected with Ovalyse and mated at various intervals after ovulation. Rats were killed 13 h after mating or on day 20 of pregnancy. In rats in which meiosis was not advanced that were mated around ovulation, fetal survival was about 90%. In rats with meiosis advanced by 8 h and mated around ovulation, only 44% of the ovulated oocytes with advanced meiosis developed into healthy fetuses; mortality before and after implantation was 37 and 19%, respectively. Rats in which meiosis was not advanced that were mated 8-9 h after ovulation had similar fetal survival and similar mortality before and after implantation. Thus ageing of the oocyte may occur either before, or after, ovulation. Preovulatory ageing is related to the resumption of meiosis.

Abstract
The migration of 111In-labeled ovine neutrophils towards a range of inflammatory mediators was examined in vitro using a 48-well chemotaxis chamber. Typical curves were obtained for the chemotactic response to zymosan-activated plasma (ZAP, a source of C5a) and interleukin-8 (IL-8). In contrast, leukotriene B4 (LTB4), platelet-activating factor (PAF), interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), N-formyl-methionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), and endotoxins from Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa failed to induce neutrophil migration in vitro. Of these mediators LTB4, ZAP, IL-1 alpha, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and IL-8 have been reported to induce neutrophil accumulation in skin of sheep, and in the current study E. coli endotoxin was a potent inducer of 111In-labeled neutrophil accumulation and plasma leakage in skin. In contrast, PAF induced intense plasma leakage but failed to induce accumulation of 111In-labeled neutrophils in skin. Histologic examination of skin sites receiving PAF confirmed the failure of PAF to stimulate neutrophil extravasation. FMLP lacked inflammatory activity in skin. Coinjection of actinomycin D did not abrogate recruitment of neutrophils to skin sites receiving LTB4; thus neither induction of endothelial adhesion molecules nor synthesis of IL-8 was necessary for LTB4 to exhibit inflammatory activity in vivo.

Abstract
Windblown hips in patients with cerebral palsy are difficult to treat and predispose to poor, unstable sitting. In an attempt to identify the temporal sequence between dislocation of the hip, scoliosis, and pelvic obliquity, an in-depth clinical and radiological review of 22 teenage children was undertaken. The most common temporal sequence was dislocation of the hip, followed by pelvic obliquity, and finally scoliosis. It is recommended that the hip be closely monitored in infancy and that an aggressive treatment approach be undertaken if hip subluxation occurs. This is greatly facilitated by a good orthotic, therapy, and seating program to maintain the hips in the correct position. The maintenance of hip stability will facilitate seating as well as minimize the effects of the windblown hip syndrome.
