Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection of developmental delay (DD) in preschool children is crucial for counselling parents, initiating diagnostic work-up, and starting early intervention (EI). METHODS We conducted a register study of all preschool children referred for EI in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, in 2017 (N = 1,785) and used an online survey among primary care physicians (PCPs, N = 271) to evaluate the care service of DD children. RESULTS PCPs accounted for 79.5% of all referrals by physicians and had correctly referred over 90% of the children in need of EI at an average age of 39.3 months (SD 8.9). In the survey, which represents 59.2% of all pediatricians and 11.3% of all general practitioners in the Canton, PCPs reported performing a mean of 13.5 (range 0-50, SD 10.7) well-child visits per week to preschool children and estimated well-child visits to be the most frequent type of consultation (66.7%) for the identification of DD. Parents' hesitancy in accepting further evaluation or support were reported by 88.7%. CONCLUSIONS Most preschool children with DD are identified in well-child visits. These visits represent an ideal opportunity for early detection of developmental impairment and initiation of EI. Carefully addressing parents' reservations could reduce the rate of refusal, thus improving early support for children with DD.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteosarcopenia is a common condition among elderly and postmenopausal female patients. Site-specific bone mineral density is more predictive of bone-related complications. Few studies have investigated muscle-bone associations. Our results demonstrated that in women, significant positive associations between paraspinal muscles FCSA and vBMD exist at different lumbosacral levels. These regional differences should be considered when interpreting bone-muscle associations in the lumbar spine. INTRODUCTION There is increasing evidence between bone and muscle volume associations. Previous studies have demonstrated comorbidity between osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Recent studies showed that sarcopenic subjects had a fourfold higher risk of concomitant osteoporosis compared to non-sarcopenic individuals. Although site-specific bone mineral density (BMD) assessments were reported to be more predictive of bone-related complications after spinal fusions than BMD assessments in general, there are few studies that have investigated level-specific bone-muscle interactions. The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between muscle functional cross-sectional area (FCSA) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and site-specific quantitative computed tomography (QCT) volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) in the lumbosacral region among spine surgery patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a prospective institutional database of posterior lumbar fusion patients. Patients with available MRI undergoing posterior lumbar fusion were included. Muscle measurements and FCSA were conducted and calculated utilizing a manual segmentation and custom-written program at the superior endplate of the L3-L5 vertebrae level. vBMD measurements were performed and calculated utilizing a QCT pro software at L1-L2 levels and bilateral sacral ala. We stratified by sex for all analyses. RESULTS A total of 105 patients (mean age 61.5 years and 52.4% females) were included. We found that female patients had statistically significant lower muscle FCSA than male patients. After adjusting for age and body mass index (BMI), there were statistically significant positive associations between L1-L2 and S1 vBMD with L3 psoas FCSA as well as sacral ala vBMD with L3 posterior paraspinal and L5 psoas FCSA. These associations were not found in males. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that in women, significant positive associations between the psoas and posterior paraspinal muscle FCSA and vBMD exist in different lumbosacral levels, which are independent of age and BMI. These regional differences should be considered when interpreting bone and muscle associations in the lumbar spine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the varied tasks of the Large Animal Rescue Service Switzerland and Liechtenstein (GTRD CH/FL)® is the recovery of animals from manure and cesspools. The aim of the present retrospective study was the evaluation of the rescue protocols of the GTRD CH/FL from such operations and the documentation of a rescue procedure. In the past 25 years, a total of 176 animals have been rescued from manure and cesspools. These included 113 cattle, 51 horses and 12 pigs. All animals could be safely rescued with the animal rescue and transport net (TBTN) or the large animal vertical rescue set (GTVBS). The TBTN is used when the opening of the cesspool is large enough to recover the animal in a horizontal position. The GTVBS is particularly suitable for narrow openings, as the recovery in a -vertical position does not require any constructional modification or the enlargement of the cesspool opening. Both rescue harnesses are characterized by reliable handling and allow gentle recovery.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGFβ superfamily. They have distinct functions during hemostasis and play a central role in various pathologic conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. Recent findings demonstrate that BMPs are also expressed in platelets. However, their function is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the role of platelet BMP4 during vascular inflammation and vascular remodelling.
Methods
BMP4 floxed mice were crossed with PF4 Cre mice to generate platelet-specific deletion of BMP4 (BMP4Plt−/−). Intravital microscopy of mesenteric veins was performed to evaluate leukocyte adhesion upon stimulation with TNFα. Expression of adhesion molecules and chemokines were analysed by RT-PCR and Western Blot. P-selectin and platelet-leukocyte aggregates were evaluated using flow cytometry. For carotid wire injury, BMP4Plt−/− were further crossed with LDLr−/− mice (BMP4Plt−/−/LDLr−/−). At 8 weeks of age, BMP4Plt−/−/LDLr−/− mice and control littermates received a 2-week diet containing 15.8% wt/wt fat and 1.25% cholesterol. Carotid wire injury was performed at the age of 10 weeks. Re-endothelialisation and neointimal hyperplasia were evaluated.
Results
Platelet morphology and function did not differ between BMP4Plt−/− and control mice. Stimulation with TNFα resulted in increased rolling and adherence of leukocytes to the vessel wall which was reduced in BMP4Plt−/− mice (175±25 versus 50±7 rolling cells and 16±3 versus 7±2 adherent cells, respectively). Expression of P-selectin, adhesion molecules and the chemokines RANTES and PF-4 were reduced in BMP4Plt−/− mice. Platelet activation by thrombin was reduced in BMP4Plt−/− mice, resulting in diminished P-Selectin and JONA expression. Furthermore, monocyte infiltration and circulating leukocyte-platelet complexes were reduced in BMP4Plt−/− mice. Loss of platelet BMP4 prevented neointima formation after carotid wire injury (4.2x104±0.9x104μm2 versus 14.9x104±2.2x104μm2 in BMP4Plt−/−/LDLr−/− and control mice, respectively). Interestingly, endothelial regeneration after injury was decelerated in BMP4Plt−/− mice. This is further demonstrated in-vitro, where platelet BMP4 promoted endothelial cell proliferation and migration.
Conclusion
Platelet-BMP4 deficiency reduced vascular inflammation and ameliorated intima hyperplasia after wire injury. This is partly mediated by inhibition of platelet activation, reduced expression of adhesion molecules and inflammatory response. Our finding suggests that BMP4 is a promising target for the treatment of vascular inflammation and restenosis.

Abstract
A 25 y/o female patient with corrected tetralogy of Fallot (1995), pulmonary valve bio-prosthesis (1999) with consequent stenosis, and finally implantation of a pulmonary valve Hancock-conduit (2005), presented to our department with night sweats, shortness of breath, and fever for the past three weeks. Leukocytes and CRP were elevated, transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large vegetation on the pulmonary valve prosthesis with relevant stenosis (peak gradient 70 mmHg). The patient reported to have an 18-year-old cat as a pet, which had bit her shortly before onset of symptoms.
Blood cultures remained negative, bacterial broad spectrum PCR revealed Bartonella species. PET-CT was ordered and confirmed pulmonary valve endocarditis.
The patient was treated with antibiotics and eventually transferred to cardiac surgery due to persistently high gradients over the valve in combination with exertional dyspnea.
Bartonella is a well-known cause of blood culture negative infective endocarditis, which must be tested for specifically. This case underlines the importance of taking complete patient history, including presence of pets and especially recent bites. Comprehensive imaging must be performed timely in every patient with known valve disease and unexplained symptoms.

Abstract
A 53 y/o female patient presented with clinical signs of stroke. Substantial cardiovascular risk factors were present with arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and a history of smoking. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a suspicious structure on the aortic valve. Consequently, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was ordered.
In TEE, the structure proved to be highly suspicious for fibroelastoma. In addition, significant plaque of the aortic arch, and a persistent foramen ovale (PFO) were diagnosed in this examination.
The patient was referred to cardiac surgery for excision of the mass on the aortic valve and for PFO closure.
This case stresses the importance of echo in patients presenting with stroke. Apart from left atrial thrombus, several other possible embolic substrates can be diagnosed.

Abstract
We develop a technique for the multivariate data analysis of perturbed self-sustained oscillators. The approach is based on the reconstruction of the phase dynamics model from observations and on a subsequent exploration of this model. For the system, driven by several inputs, we suggest a dynamical disentanglement procedure, allowing us to reconstruct the variability of the system's output that is due to a particular observed input, or, alternatively, to reconstruct the variability which is caused by all the inputs except for the observed one. We focus on the application of the method to the vagal component of the heart rate variability caused by a respiratory influence. We develop an algorithm that extracts purely respiratory-related variability, using a respiratory trace and times of R-peaks in the electrocardiogram. The algorithm can be applied to other systems where the observed bivariate data can be represented as a point process and a slow continuous signal, e.g. for the analysis of neuronal spiking. This article is part of the theme issue 'Coupling functions: dynamical interaction mechanisms in the physical, biological and social sciences'.

Abstract
SummaryAtrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent reasons for therapeutic anticoagulation in everyday practice. Oral vitamin K antagonists such as Marcumar have been state of the art anticoagulants to prevent thrombembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation and additional risk factors. But these drugs are accompanied by disadvantages such as increased bleeding risk and impaired quality of life caused by interactions with food or other medications as well as frequent controls of INRs.The new anticoagulants apixaban, rivaroxaban and dabigatran are direct antagonists of coagulation factors (FXa or FIIa) and demonstrate a promising risk/benefit profile in large clinical trials compared with vitamin K antagonists.Their approval for clinical use will open up new therapeutic perspectives for patients with atrial fibrillation and indication for anticoagulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We report on a large prospective, multicentre clinical investigation on inter- and intrapatient genetic variability for antimicrobial resistance of Helicobacter pylori. METHODS Therapy-naive patients (n = 2004) who had undergone routine diagnostic gastroscopy were prospectively included from all geographic regions of Austria. Gastric biopsy samples were collected separately from antrum and corpus. Samples were analysed by histopathology and real-time PCR for genotypic resistance to clarithromycin and quinolones. Clinical and demographic information was analysed in relation to resistance patterns. RESULTS H. pylori infection was detected in 514 (26%) of 2004 patients by histopathology and confirmed in 465 (90%) of 514 patients by real-time PCR. PCR results were discordant for antrum and corpus in 27 (5%) of 514 patients, indicating inhomogeneous infections. Clarithromycin resistance rates were 17% (77/448) and 19% (84/455), and quinolone resistance rates were 12% (37/310) and 10% (32/334) in antrum and corpus samples, respectively. Combination of test results per patient yielded resistance rates of 21% (98/465) and 13% (50/383) for clarithromycin and quinolones, respectively. Overall, infection with both sensitive and resistant H. pylori was detected in 65 (14%) of 465 patients. CONCLUSIONS Anatomically inhomogeneous infection with different, multiple H. pylori strains is common. Prospective clinical study design, collection of samples from multiple sites and microbiologic methods that allow the detection of coinfections are mandatory for collection of reliable data on antimicrobial resistance patterns in representative patient populations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Range verification in ion beam therapy relies to date on nuclear imaging techniques which require complex and costly detector systems. A different approach is the detection of thermoacoustic signals that are generated due to localized energy loss of ion beams in tissue (ionoacoustics). Aim of this work was to study experimentally the achievable position resolution of ionoacoustics under idealized conditions using high frequency ultrasonic transducers and a specifically selected probing beam. METHODS A water phantom was irradiated by a pulsed 20 MeV proton beam with varying pulse intensity and length. The acoustic signal of single proton pulses was measured by different PZT-based ultrasound detectors (3.5 and 10 MHz central frequencies). The proton dose distribution in water was calculated by Geant4 and used as input for simulation of the generated acoustic wave by the matlab toolbox k-WAVE. RESULTS In measurements from this study, a clear signal of the Bragg peak was observed for an energy deposition as low as 10(12) eV. The signal amplitude showed a linear increase with particle number per pulse and thus, dose. Bragg peak position measurements were reproducible within ±30 μm and agreed with Geant4 simulations to better than 100 μm. The ionoacoustic signal pattern allowed for a detailed analysis of the Bragg peak and could be well reproduced by k-WAVE simulations. CONCLUSIONS The authors have studied the ionoacoustic signal of the Bragg peak in experiments using a 20 MeV proton beam with its correspondingly localized energy deposition, demonstrating submillimeter position resolution and providing a deep insight in the correlation between the acoustic signal and Bragg peak shape. These results, together with earlier experiments and new simulations (including the results in this study) at higher energies, suggest ionoacoustics as a technique for range verification in particle therapy at locations, where the tumor can be localized by ultrasound imaging. This acoustic range verification approach could offer the possibility of combining anatomical ultrasound and Bragg peak imaging, but further studies are required for translation of these findings to clinical application.

Abstract
The ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 sequentially degrade the extracellular ATP pool and release immunosuppressive adenosine, thereby regulating inflammatory responses. This control is likely to be critical in the gastrointestinal tract where high levels of ATP are released in particular by commensal bacteria. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the involvement of the adenosinergic regulation in the intestine of mice in steady-state conditions and on acute infection with Toxoplasma gondii. We show that both conventional (Tconv) and regulatory (Treg) CD4(+) T lymphocytes express CD39 and CD73 in the intestine of naive mice. CD73 expression was downregulated during acute infection with T. gondii, leading to impaired capacity to produce adenosine. Interestingly, the expression of adenosine receptors was maintained and treatment with receptor agonists limited immunopathology and dysbiosis, suggesting that the activation of adenosine receptors may constitute an efficient approach to control intestinal inflammation associated with decreased ectonucleotidase expression.

Abstract
Among the newer antihypertensive agents are the beta-blocking drugs, such as propranolol. These agents are useful as second-step drugs to be used if diuretic therapy alone is not effective. In mild to moderately severe hypertension, propranolol, in does of up to 480 mg/day in combination with a thiazide diuretic, has been found to be effective in over 80% of patients on long-term therapy. This degree of response is essentially similar to that noted with a combination of reserpine and a diuretic agent. Although some observers believe that propranolol produces many fewer side effects than the other step 2 drugs (reserpine and alpha-methyldopa), there are some patients who do experience restlessness, insomnia, and depression. Clonidine may be substituted for another step 2 drug, is of moderate potency, but may not be tolerated by a large number of patients because of the severe dry mouth and drowsiness that it produces. Prazosin appears to be a suitable substitute for hydralazine as an effective vasodialator if thiazides plus propranolol or thiazides plus reserpine or alpha-methyldopa are not effective. In some instances, it many be an acceptable second-step drug because of its alpha-adrenoreceptor-blocking properties. The angiotensin II competitive inhibitors or converting enzyme inhibitors may in the future have some place in the management of hypertension.

Abstract
Interventional treatment of aortic valve stenosis by transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become routine practice in elderly and high risk patients in recent years. Similar to other vascular interventional or surgical procedures TAVR carries thrombotic risks such as stroke, myocardial infarction or systemic embolism as well as peri-procedural bleeding risks. These risks comprise the access site, the type of prosthesis, and the individual risk profile of the patient. Not only during the peri-procedural period but also during longterm follow-up the current target population for TAVR procedures carries a high risk for thrombotic events in particular if atrial fibrillation is present. On the other hand side the bleeding risk is also increased in these patients. Thus, to provide the optimal strategy of antithrombotic therapy during and after TAVR remains a clinical challenge.

Abstract
Benefit of statin treatment is well established for secondary prevention. For primary prevention, good data exist to support use of statins in high-risk groups. Less data are available for intermediate risk group and very few patients at low risk have been included in clinical trials. In this context, an individual approach based on a risk stratification using PROCAM score adjusted for Switzerland is recommended. Lifestyle measures should be tried first. We also discuss the new American guidelines and their related controversies. Secondary causes and familiar forms of dyslipidemias, for which a risk assessment cannot be performed using risk scores (first cardiovascular event between age 20 and 60), should not be overlooked.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of a nutritional mixture (bovine milk oligosaccharides, Lactobacillus rhamnosus NCC4007, arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid) on growth of intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) rats. METHODS IUGR was induced by maternal food restriction. The offspring (males and females) were assigned to: REF (non-IUGR, no mixture), IUGRc (IUGR, no mixture), or IUGRmx (IUGR, mixture). The mixture was given from day 7 to day 58, when tissues and plasma from half of the animals were collected for hormones, metabolites and microarray analysis. The rest received a high-fat diet (HFD) until day 100. Glucose tolerance was measured at 56 and 98 days, and body fat content at 21, 52 and 97 days. RESULTS IUGRmx had the greatest growth during lactation, but from day 22 to day 54, both IUGR groups gained less body weight than the REF (P < 0.05). In the short-term (58 days), IUGRmx tended to be longer (P = 0.06) and had less body fat (P = 0.03) than IUGRc. These differences were not seen after HFD. Microarray analysis of hepatic mRNA expression at 58 and 100 days revealed a gender-dependent treatment effect, and expression of genes related to lipid metabolism was the most affected. Twelve of these genes were selected for studying differences in DNA methylation in the promoter region, for some, we observed age- and gender-related differences but none because of treatment. CONCLUSION The nutritional intervention promoted catch-up growth and normalized excessive adiposity in IUGR animals at short-term. The benefits did not extend after a period of HFD. IUGR and early diet had gender-dependent effects on hepatic gene expression.

Abstract
Thermal ablation is increasingly being used for treatment of liver tumours. Among the techniques of thermal ablation, radiofrequency ablation (RF) is undoubtedly being used most frequently because of its advantages, such as morbidity and mortality rates, effective tumour ablation, as well as being less time-consuming. This paper presents the state of the art of RF ablation technique. This includes the theoretical development, experimental study and clinical application of the radiofrequency ablation technique. First, it introduces the principle of this technique. Second, it shows the development of this technique and valuable achievements. These achievements include the device, strategy of operation and extension to other diseases. Third, it concludes future issues to be addressed in order to further advance this technique.

Abstract
Activated platelets play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherothrombotic disease and its complications. Even under treatment of antiplatelet drugs, such as acetylsalicylic acid and P2Y12 antagonists, morbidity and mortality rates of thromboembolic complications remain high. Hence, the therapeutic inhibition of protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1, which is activated by thrombin, is a novel promising approach in antiplatelet therapy. Recent data suggest that PAR-1 is mainly involved in pathological thrombus formation, but not in physiological hemostasis. Therefore, PAR-1 inhibition offers the possibility to reduce atherothrombotic events without increasing bleeding risk. So far, two emerging PAR-1 antagonists have been tested in clinical trials: vorapaxar (SCH530349; Merck & Co., Whitehouse Station, NJ, USA) and atopaxar (E5555; Eisai, Tokyo, Japan). Although in TRA-CER vorapaxar showed an unfavorable profile for patients with acute coronary syndrome in addition to standard therapy, it revealed promising results for patients with prior myocardial infarction in TRA 2P-TIMI50. Depending on the status of clinical approval, vorapaxar might be an option for patients with peripheral arterial disease to reduce limb ischemia. The second PAR-I antagonist, atopaxar, tended towards reducing major cardiovascular adverse events in acute coronary syndrome patients in a phase II trial. However, although statistically not significant, bleeding events were numerically increased in atopaxar-treated patients compared with placebo. Furthermore, liver enzymes were elevated and the relative corrected QT interval was prolonged in atopaxar-treated patients. Currently, the development of atopaxar by Eisai is discontinued. The future of this novel class of antithrombotic drugs will depend on the identification of patient groups in which the risk–benefit ratio is favorable.

Abstract
CHO-K1 and VERO cells have been grown on MicroHextrade mark, a polystyrene-based microsupport with two-dimensional geometry and the consistency of their growth kinetics were established. These cells have been detached by exposure to buffered ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) followed by controlled mechanical shear to yield well-isolated cells suspended in EDTA. Neutralisation of the EDTA followed by restoration of the chemical composition of the growth medium causes detached CHO-K1 cells to display unaltered growth kinetics.

Abstract
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto(®)) is a new anticoagulant for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. Rivaroxaban inhibits coagulation factor Xa directly, has high oral bioavailability, shows low propensity for drug-drug interactions and requires no routine coagulation monitoring. In patients undergoing elective knee or hip replacement surgery rivaroxaban (10 mg/d) is highly effective to prevent venous thromboembolism. In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation rivaroxaban (20 mg/d) has been approved to prevent stroke or systemic embolism. The favourable benefit-risk profile of rivaroxaban in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was shown in EINSTEIN-DVT and led to its clinical approval (twice daily 15 mg for 3 weeks, followed by 20 mg/d). Based on ATLAS-ACS-TIMI-51 which has shown that rivaroxaban (2.5 mg twice daily) reduced thrombotic cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome, the approval of low dose rivaroxaban has been submitted for this indication. Taken together, rivaroxaban may become an effective alternative to standard anticoagulants in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders.
