Abstract
AIMS The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management in clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutively hospitalised adult NSTEMI patients (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 and 6 March 2021, and individual patient data prospectively collected at 287 centres in 59 participating countries during a two-week enrolment period per centre. The registry collected data relating to baseline characteristics, major outcomes (in-hospital death, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bleeding, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and 30-day mortality) and guideline-recommended NSTEMI care interventions: electrocardiogram pre- or in-hospital, pre-hospitalization receipt of aspirin, echocardiography, coronary angiography, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, smoking cessation advice, dietary advice, and prescription on discharge of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blocker, and statin. CONCLUSION The EORP NSTEMI Registry is an international, prospective registry of care and outcomes of patients treated for NSTEMI, which will provide unique insights into the contemporary management of hospitalised NSTEMI patients, compliance with ESC 2015 NSTEMI Guidelines, and identify potential barriers to optimal management of this common clinical presentation associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Chester Step Test (CST) is a simple and inexpensive field test, which requires minimal physical space to assess exercise capacity. Such characteristics make the CST suitable to be used in different settings, however, its measurement properties in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are unknown. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with ILD. First, a CST-1 and a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were performed. After 48-72 hours, a CST-2 was repeated. A 2nd rater was present in one of the sessions. Relative reliability was measured using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC1,1 and ICC2,1). Absolute reliability was determined using standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change at 95% confidence interval (MDC95) and the Bland-Altman method. The values of SEM and MDC95 were also expressed as a percentage of the mean. Construct validity was explored using Spearman correlation coefficient (rs) between the number of steps taken in the best CST and the distance performed in the 6MWT. RESULTS Sixty-six patients with ILD (65.5±12.9 years; 48.5%men; FVC 79.4±18.8pp; DLCO 49.0±18.3pp) participated in the study. Relative (ICC 0.95-1.0) and absolute reliability were excellent without evidence of systematic bias. The SEM and MDC95 were 11.8 (14.7%) and 32.6 steps (40.7%), respectively. The correlation between CST and 6MWT was significant, positive, and high (rs=0.85, p=0.001). CONCLUSION The CST is a reliable and valid test and might be especially useful to assess exercise capacity in patients with ILD in limited space environments.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) pollution is one of the major environmental concerns due to its harmful effects on human health. As children are particularly vulnerable to particle exposure, this study integrates the concentration of PM chemical compounds measured in the micro-environments (MEs) where children spend most of their time to assess the daily exposure and inhaled dose. PM samples were analysed for organic and elemental carbon and for major and trace elements. Results showed that the MEs that contribute most to the children's daily exposure (80%) and inhaled dose (65%) were homes and schools. Results indicated that the high contribution of particulate organic matter (POM) indoors indicate high contributions of indoor sources to the organic fraction of the particles. The highest concentrations of PM chemical compounds and the highest Indoor/Outdoor ratios were measured in schools, where the contribution of mineral elements stands out due to the resuspension of dust caused by the students and to the chalk used in blackboards. The contribution of the outdoor particles to inhaled dose (24%) was higher than to the exposure (12%), due to the highest inhalation rates associated with the activities performed outdoor. This study indicates the importance of indoor air quality for the children's exposure and health.

Introduction
Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVD) is a key concern in the context of cardio-oncology (CO). Usually, referral for suspected Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is the main challenge, but heart failure with other more common causes, such as ischemic cardiomyopathy can also decompensate during cancer treatment or be diagnosed incidentally during cardiotoxicity echocardiographic (echo) surveillance. Multimodality imaging is essential in these patients in order to better establish aetiology and assure the most appropriate clinical management.
Purpose
evaluate clinical impact of multimodality imaging in the clinical management of CO patients.
Methods
retrospective study of a population followed in CO consultation. Statistical analysis of demographic, clinical, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) data was made.
Results
we included 115 pts, mean age 66.3 ± 10.2 years, 67,8% female, with mean follow-up of 16.1 ± 12.8 months. About half (56.5%) had breast cancer, followed by gastrointestinal tract (16.5%) and haematological (8,7%) malignancies, with a significant proportion (32,2%) with advanced disease. Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was high (hypertension in 74.8%, dyslipidaemia in 47%, type 2 diabetes mellitus in 17.4%), but also coronary artery disease (18,3%) and atrial fibrillation (18.3%). All of them were treated with different types of chemotherapy and 53,9% of pts with radiotherapy. At baseline, 13% of pts had a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) under 50% (LVD) assessed by TTE, which increased to 26,9% (n = 31) after oncological treatment initiation. Of these (n = 31), an ischemic aetiology was found in 32,3% and non-ischemic in 54,8%, which was significantly more frequent in patients with CTRCD (OR 2,7, p = 0,001). CMR was performed in 45,2%, mostly in CTRCD cases (p = 0,012, OR 8,4), which, apart from LVD, did not show any tissue changes in most patients (p = 0,026, OR 35). Only one patient with CTRCD (under treatment with trastuzumab and anthracyclines) had subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement, with wall motion abnormalities, suggesting a myocarditis-like mechanism for cardiotoxicity.
Conclusion
LVD has a major impact in patients" prognosis, particularly in CO context, where effective oncological treatments can be compromised due heart failure decompensation. Therefore, a thorough clinical evaluation should encompass etiological study in order to provide the most appropriate treatment strategies. Moreover, CTRCD can develop through different physiopathological mechanisms. Thus, multimodality imaging, particularly including CMR evaluation, can have a major role ensuring a good clinical outcome for these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Recent recommendations regarding myocardial infarction (MI) underline the adverse prognosis associated with right bundle branch block (RBBB), suggesting that, in some cases of non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI) with RBBB a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy should be considered. However, it is unclear if this is due to a more difficult and late diagnosis or to the clinical severity inherent to these patients (pts).
Purposes
To characterize the NSTEMI with RBBB population and find predictors of worse prognosis.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of pts included in the Portuguese Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes with NSTEMI, comparing pts with RBBB (group A) vs without RBBB (group B), regarding clinical and demographic variables, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Primary endpoint was heart failure, electrical and mechanical complications and death in the in-hospital period.
Results
We included 9375 pts, 686 in group A and 8689 in group B. Pts in group A were more likely to be male (p<0.001) and over 75 years old (p<0.001). Also, they were more prone to have cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension - p<0.001, diabetes – p<0.001) and history of coronary artery disease (stable angina p=0.007, previous MI p=0.002 and revascularization, either PCI – p=0.016 or surgery – p<0.001), stroke (p<0.001), chronic kidney disease (p<0.001) and cancer (p=0.025), comparing to pts in group B. There were no differences between time from onset of symptoms and first medical contact or hospital admission between groups. Upon admission, these pts presented more frequently with hypotension (p=0.026), Killip class>II (p<0.001) and atrial fibrillation (p<0.001) than pts in group B. There were statiscally significant differences between groups, regarding the use of inotropes (p<0.001), non-invasive (p=0.008) and invasive ventilation (p=0.018) and temporary pacing (p=0.001), all of them higher in group A.
Pts with RBBB were less likely to undergo coronary angiography (CA) (p<0.001). However, among those who did, there were no differences in CA timing (p=0.091), but pts from group A had more frequently multivessel disease (p=0.044) and no revascularization was undertaken (p=0.012).
About 16.64% of all pts reached the endpoint, but unfavourable in-hospital outcome was significantly more common in group A (p<0.001). RBBB remained an independent predictor of the endpoint (p=0.032) in a multivariate regression analysis, controlled for other variables (namely gender, age, cardiovascular risk factors, previous evidence of cardiovascular disease, and clinical and coronary anatomy data) – AUC of 0.833.
Conclusion
Although pts with NSTEMI and RBBB have a poorer in-hospital prognosis, partly due to their bigger clinical complexity (older age, multiple comorbidities and complex coronary anatomy), RBBB itself still remains an independent predictor of worse outcome.

Abstract
For the first time, the concentrations of 19 organophosphate esters (OPEs) were measured in airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from subway stations in Barcelona (Spain) to investigate their occurrence, contamination profiles and associated health risks. OPEs were detected in all PM2.5 samples with levels ranging between 1.59 and 202 ng/m3 (mean value of 39.9 ng/m3). Seventeen out of 19 tested analytes were detected, with TDClPP, TClPP and TCEP being those presenting the highest concentrations. OPE concentrations are not driven by the same factors that determine the ambient PM2.5 concentrations of other constituents in the subway. Newer stations presented higher OPE levels, probably due to the materials used in the design of the platforms, with greater use of modern plastic materials versus older stations with tiles and stones. Estimated daily intakes via airborne particles inhalation during the time expended in subway stations were calculated, as well as the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks (CR and non-CR), all being much lower than the threshold risk values. Thus, subway inhalation exposure when standing on the platform to OPE's per se is not considered to be dangerous for commuters.

Abstract
While commuting, individuals are exposed to high concentrations of urban air pollutants that can lead to adverse health effects. This study aims to assess commuters' exposure to particulate matter (PM) when travelling by car, bicycle, metro and bus in Lisbon. Mass concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were higher in the metro. On the other hand, the highest BC and PN0.01-1 average concentrations were found in car and bus mode, respectively. In cars, the outdoor concentrations and the type of ventilation appeared to affect the indoor concentrations. In fact, the use of ventilation led to a decrease of PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations and to an increase of BC concentrations. The highest inhaled doses were mostly observed in bicycle journeys, due to the longest travel periods combined with enhanced physical activity and, consequently, highest inhalation rates.

Abstract
Abstract
Echocardiography (echo) remains the first-line imaging modality for the evaluation of cardiac masses. Three-dimensional (3D) echo, either transthoracic or transesophageal (TTE and TEE respectively), has allowed for better definition imaging, providing more information about the size, mobility, attachment and relation of these lesions with cardiac structures. Nevertheless, due to its superior tissue characterization capability, other imaging techniques, such as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), are very helpful in the differential diagnosis, making multimodality imaging the most attractive option for the study of intracardiac masses.
We present the case of a 85 year-old male, with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (under effective anticoagulation), type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, referred for the study of an asymptomatic cardiac mass found in a routine TTE. There were no relevant findings on physical examination. The TTE showed a bilobar spheroid mass, in the right atrium, attached to the interatrial septum, with 33x23mm and regular edges. A 3D TEE was performed confirming the previous findings, but also showing extension of this mass through the fossa ovalis membrane, reaching the left atrium; this aspect raised the doubt about either protrusion or invasion of the left atrium and, respectively, a benign (like a myxoma) versus malignant behaviour (such as a sarcoma). To better characterize this lesion, a CMR was ordered, which revealed a bilobar heterogeneous mass, attached to the right side of the interatrial septum, at the fossa ovalis membrane, without signs of adjacent tissue invasion, namely unequivocal invasion of the left atrium; it presented with intermediate T1 signal, hyperintense T2 signal and heterogeneous pattern of gadolinium enhancement, features mostly in favour of a right atrial myxoma. The complimentary study found no other relevant changes, namely no findings suggestive of endocarditis (negative blood cultures), autoimmune disease or malignancy. The patient refused undergoing heart surgery and, therefore, kept follow-up with clinical and echocardiographic stability.
Although histological examination remains the only tool for definitive diagnosis, multimodality imaging allows a quite comprehensive evaluation of intracardiac masses, enlightening the differential diagnosis. Here the imaging findings helped to establish a benign origin as the most likely, very important in this case of a probable right atrial myxoma, due to its peculiar protrusion to the left atrium through the fossa ovalis membrane.

Abstract
While exposure to traffic pollutants significantly decreases with distance from the curb, very dense urban architectures hamper such dispersion. Moreover, the building height reduces significantly the dispersion of pollutants. We have investigated the horizontal variability of Black Carbon (BC) and the vertical variability of NO2 and BC within the urban blocks. Increasing the distance from road BC concentrations decreased following an exponential curve reaching halving distances at 25 m (median), although with a wide variability among sites. Street canyons showed sharper fall-offs than open roads or roads next to a park. Urban background concentrations were achieved at 67 m distance on average, with higher distances found for more trafficked roads. Vertical fall-off of BC was less pronounced than the horizontal one since pollutants homogenize quickly vertically after rush traffic hours. Even shallower vertical fall-offs were found for NO2. For both pollutants, background concentrations were never reached within the building height. A street canyon effect was also found exacerbating concentrations at the lowest floors of the leeward side of the road. These inputs can be useful for assessing population exposure, air quality policies, urban planning and for models validation.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Historically, women with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have worse outcomes compared with men. Differences in clinical, demographic characteristics and treatment may explain this result. In recent times with new diagnostic capabilities and revascularization therapies this panorama may be changing.
Methods
Single-center retrospective study comparing gender differences in ACS patients from 2012 to 2017. Two groups were formed comparing women and men: Group A: years 2012 to 2014 and group B: years 2015 to 2017.
Results
From 2012 to 2017 we identified 1091 patients with ACS. Of them 356 (32,6%) were women and NSTEMI (60%) was the most frequent type of ACS in this group. Women with ACS were older than men (73 vs 66 years) had more arterial hypertension (83,4% vs 68,3% p<0,001), diabetes mellitus (46,3% vs 30,9% p<0,001) and were less frequently smokers (6,5% vs 25,3% p<0,01). Dyspnea as the predominant symptom was more frequent in women (10,4% vs 5,2% p=0,002) who were less submitted to invasive strategy (63,2% vs 74,7% p<0,001) where non obstructive disease was more prevalent compared to men (9,8% vs 3,3% p<0,001). In-hospital mortality was greater in the women group (7,9% vs 3,7% p=0.005). There were no differences between groups in hospitalization or cardiovascular mortality over 1-year follow-up. When comparing Group A with Group B there were differences in hospitalization at 1 year (Group A 15,4% vs 9,3% p=0,029, Group B 11% vs 12,4% p=0,766), in-hospital women mortality (Group A 9,5% vs 3,6 p=0,005, Group B 5,8 vs 3,8% p=0,346) and coronary invasive angiography (Group A 61,2% vs 80,2% p<0,001 vs Group B 65,8 vs 68,5%, p=0,606).
Conclusion
Different demographic and clinical presentation as well as in-hospital and 1-year outcomes were present in our study population: while in Group A threre were significant gender differences regarding hospitalization and in-hospital mortality, those differences faded away in Group B. Efforts should be made to lessen gender differences in treatment and assistance knowing the different demographical and clinical patient profile.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
2D-speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) derived strain measurements has been proposed as a non-invasive measure of myocardial deformation and function. However, the effects of left ventricular (LV) loading conditions on 2D-STE derived LV longitudinal strain (GLS) have not been totally elucidated and the results of some studies regarding the load dependency of GLS are controversial.
Purpose
To characterize the effects of acute load change (preload increase) on LV GLS.
Methods and results
We evaluated the variation of LV GLS by 2D-STE, in response to a preload increasing maneuver (leg lifting maneuver – LLM), in a population of 30 healthy individuals. Clinical, demographic and echocardiographic parameters (including LV longitudinal mechanics obtained with 2D-STE before and after LLM) were described. The population had a mean age of 27±4 years and 73% were women. Increased preload to the heart with LLM was confirmed by an increase in the maximal diameter of the inferior vena cava (16±3.5 vs 22±3.3 mm, p<0.01). No significant changes in left atrial volume, LV ejection volume and LV ejection fraction were observed in response to the LLM. There was a significant variation of global LV GLS (−21.9±2.3 vs −23.2±1.6%, p<0.001, Δ 1.25%, 95% CI 0.5–1.91) – figure. An increase in right ventricular longitudinal function with LLM (TAPSE 22.5±5.4 vs 25.5±0.5 mm, p=0.005, Δ 2.9, 95% CI 0.9–4.8) was also observed.
Conclusion
To our knowledge this is the first study performed to assess the effect of preload increase in GLS using the LLM in healthy individuals. In this study, the absolute LV GLS value increased significantly in response to preload increase (LLM). The dependence of GLS on preload is in accordance with the Frank-Starling Law, in which an increase in preload in a healthy individual lead to an increase in myocardial contractility. These findings suggest that LV GLS is a sensitive parameter for detecting subtle changes in LV longitudinal function.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors, such as palbociclib, are used to treat ER+ metastatic breast cancer in combination with endocrine therapy with trials ongoing in patients with primary disease. No biomarkers exist to identify those who do/do not benefit from added CDK4/6 inhibition. PALLET is an investigator-initiated/led phase II randomized trial collaboration between UK and NSABP investigators evaluating the biological and clinical effects of palbociclib with letrozole combination as neoadjuvant therapy.
Methods: Postmenopausal women with ER+ primary breast cancer and tumors >2.0cm (ultrasound) were randomized to one of 4 treatment groups (3:2:2:2 ratio): Group A: letrozole (2.5mg/d) for 14 weeks; Group B: letrozole for 2 weeks followed by letrozole + palbociclib to 14 weeks; Group C: palbociclib for 2 weeks followed by letrozole + palbociclib to 14 weeks; Group D: letrozole + palbociclib for 14 weeks. Palbociclib was given 125mg/d PO on a 21 days on, 7 days off schedule. Post-14 week treatment was at the discretion of the treating clinician including letrozole until surgery. Core-cut biopsies were taken at baseline, 2 weeks and 14 weeks. Co-primary endpoints for letrozole alone vs palbociclib groups (Group A vs Groups B+C+D) were: (i) change in Ki67 (IHC) between baseline and 14 weeks (log-fold change, Mann-Whitney test); (ii) clinical response (ultrasound) after 14 weeks (4 group, ordinal, Mann-Whitney test). Complete cell-cycle arrest (CCCA) (Ki67≤2.7%) was analyzed using a logistic regression model adjusting for recruitment region. Pre-specified exploratory biomarkers included c-PARP (apoptosis).
Results: 307 patients were recruited between 27 Feb 2015 and 08 Mar 2018; 103 were randomized to letrozole alone and 204 to letrozole + palbociclib. 279 (90.9%) patients were evaluable for 14 week clinical response. Clinical response was not significantly different between letrozole vs letrozole + palbociclib groups [(p=0.20; CR+PR 49.5% (46/93) vs 54.3% (101/186) and PD 5.4% (5/93) vs 3.2% (6/186)] nor was the small proportion of patients with pathological CR (1/87, 1.1% vs 6/180, 3.3%; p=0.43). 190 (61.9%) patients were evaluable for 14 week change in Ki67. The median log-fold change in Ki67 was greater with letrozole + palbociclib vs letrozole alone (-4.1 vs -2.2; p<0.001) corresponding to a geometric mean change of -97.4% vs -88.5%. Similarly, a greater proportion of patients who received letrozole + palbociclib achieved CCCA (90% vs 59%, p<0.001). 146 (47.6%) patients were evaluable for c-PARP and the log-fold change (suppression) was greater with letrozole + palbociclib vs letrozole alone (-0.80 vs -0.42; p=0.003) corresponding to a geometric mean change of -56.8% vs -31.4%. Other biomarkers of response / resistance are being evaluated. A higher proportion of patients had a grade ≥3 toxicity on letrozole + palbociclib than letrozole alone (49.8% vs 17.0%; p<0.001) mainly due to asymptomatic neutropenia.
Conclusion: Adding palbociclib to letrozole markedly enhanced the suppression of malignant cell proliferation as assessed by Ki67 but did not substantially increase the clinical response of primary ER+ breast cancer over a 14-week period. Concurrent reductions in cell death may have reduced the speed of tumor shrinkage.

Abstract
Millions of people use rail subway public transport around the world, despite the relatively high particulate matter (PM) concentrations in these underground environments, requiring the identification and quantification of the aerosol source contributions to improve the air quality. An extensive aerosol monitoring campaign was carried out in eleven subway stations in the Barcelona metro system, belonging to seven subway lines. PM2.5 samples were collected during the metro operating hours and chemically analysed to determine major and trace elements, inorganic ions, and total carbon. The chemical compositions of subway components such as brake pads, rail tracks and pantographs were also determined. The mean PM2.5 concentrations varied widely among stations, ranging from 26 µg m-3 to 86 µg m-3. Subway PM2.5 was mainly constituted by Fe2O3 (30-66%), followed by carbonaceous matter (18-37%) for the old stations, while for new stations equipped with Platform Screen Doors (PSD) these percentages go down to 21-44% and 15-30%, respectively. Both the absolute concentrations and the relative abundance of key species differed for each subway station, although with common patterns within a given subway line. This is a result of the different emission chemical profiles in different subway lines (using diverse types of brakes and/or pantographs). The co-emission of different sources poses a problem for their separation by receptor models. Nevertheless, receptor modelling (Positive Matrix Factorization) was applied resulting in ten sources, five of them subway-specific: RailWheel, RailWheel+Brake, Brake_A, Brake_B, Pb. The sum of their contributions accounted for 43-91% of bulk PM2.5 for the old stations and 21-52% for the stations with PSD. The decrease of the activity during the weekends resulted in a decrease (up to 56%) in the subway-specific sources contribution to the -already lower- bulk PM2.5 concentrations compared to weekdays. The health-related elements are mainly apportioned (> 60%) by subway sources.

Abstract
Subway systems worldwide transport more than 100 million people daily; therefore, air quality on station platforms and inside trains is an important urban air pollution issue. We examined the microbiological composition and abundance in space and time of bioaerosols collected in the Barcelona subway system during a cold period. Quantitative PCR was used to quantify total bacteria, Aspergillus fumigatus, influenza A and B, and rhinoviruses. Multitag 454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was used to assess bacterial community composition and biodiversity. The results showed low bioaerosol concentrations regarding the targeted microorganisms, although the bacterial bioburden was rather high (104 bacteria/m3 ). Airborne bacterial communities presented a high degree of overlap among the different subway environments sampled (inside trains, platforms, and lobbies) and were dominated by a few widespread taxa, with Methylobacterium being the most abundant genus. Human-related microbiota in sequence dataset and ascribed to potentially pathogenic bacteria were found in low proportion (maximum values below 2% of sequence readings) and evenly detected. Hence, no important biological exposure marker was detected in any of the sampled environments. Overall, we found that commuters are not the main source of bioaerosols in the Barcelona subway system.

Abstract
IntroductionObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has high rates of comorbidity with mood disorders, mainly major depressive disorder (MDD). Symptoms of depression are usually secondary to severe and disabling OCD. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been an effective and well tolerated therapeutic alternative in the management of refractory MDD. Other neuromodulation techniques, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), have well known efficacy in MDD and also have shown positive results, in clinical trials, treating other psychiatric disorders such as OCD.Objectives/aimsTo determine the efficacy of combining rTMS, ECT and clomipramine in the treatment of severe OCD with comorbid severe MDD.MethodsThe authors report a case of a 54-year-old male patient diagnosed with severe OCD for 23 years. He has been submitted to several drug treatments and intensive cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) always with poor response. The patient was admitted in the beginning of 2016 in our inpatient unit. Besides continuing drug treatment (clomipramine IV) and CBT, he was submitted to 12 ECT sessions during one month (3 sessions per week) and to daily sessions of rTMS during the following month.Outcome measures were obtained using Y-BOCS for OCD and HAM-D for depression.ResultsOur patient responded to ECT with mood improvement after session 4 to full euthymic state at the final session. He also responded well to rTMS with Y-BOCS score reduction.ConclusionCombined ECT and rTMS treatment with clomipramine IV and CBT was effective in our patient with a severe form of both disorders (OCD and MDD).Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene expression (expr) analyses are increasingly used for characterising the pharmacodynamic response of primary BC. This includes assessing ER+ BC's dependence on estrogen (E) by measuring gene expr changes after AI-treatment. However, differences in tissue sampling and other preanalytic procedures between samples taken at diagnosis (D) and surgery (S), may lead to systematic artifactual changes that are falsely ascribed to the intervention. To identify genes whose expr is truly affected by AI, we measured global gene expr changes from paired core-cut biopsies at D and S from patients in the POETIC presurgical window trial.
METHODS In POETIC, 4486 postmenopausal women with primary ER+ BC were randomised 2:1 to receive perioperative AI (2 weeks pre + 2 weeks post surgery, termed Tr) or no perioperative treatment (termed Con), allowing gene expr changes to be compared between Tr and Con. RNA was extracted from paired RNA-later stored core-cuts of 56 Con and 157 Tr patients and arrayed on Illumina whole genome expr BeadChips. Raw data was extracted, transformed, normalised and batch-corrected. Probes not detected (p>0.01) in >=25% of samples were discarded. Impact of AI on genes was evaluated based on difference of the expr mean changes (log2(S/D)) of the Tr and Con samples.
RESULTS In the Con group, expr of 73 genes significantly changed (FDR<5%); 70 of these changed by a similar magnitude in the Tr group, indicating their change was independent of AI therapy but would have been artifactually discovered as changed by AI in the absence on Con. The 8 genes most up-regulated in Tr were all among the 20 genes most up-regulated in Con: many were early-response or stress-associated genes. Three of the 8 most down-regulated in AI were the most down-regulated in Con: all were haemoglobin-related. Expr of some genes was changed in Con (eg MYC increase) but was unaffected in Tr. Such artifactual gene changes in Con tumors conceal true AI-induced changes that would not be detected in the absence of comparison with Con.
615 genes were down-regulated and 472 up-regulated in Tr but not Con. The majority of down-regulated genes were cell cycle or proliferation-associated or E-regulated, including ESR1, PDZK1, GREB1, HSPB1. Functional mapping showed changes in the regulation of cyclins and cyclin dependent kinases impacting on G1/S and G2/M. Of note, up-regulated genes included CDK6 (target for CDK4/6 inhibitors) and CCND2, involved in G1/S checkpoint regulation; SNAI2, TGFB3, TGFBR2, associated with tumour invasion and metastasis; and other genes involved in aryl hydrocarbon receptor, Glioblastoma Multiforme, HIPPO and p53 signalling.
CONCLUSION Expr of certain genes is altered by processes involved in presurgical window studies. In the absence of a Con group, these may be wrongly ascribed to an experimental intervention or wrongly considered as unaffected by the intervention (eg MYC in this study).
Down-regulation of E-responsive and proliferation genes was an expected response to AI but increased expr of genes such as SNAI2, CCND2 and CDK6 indicates immediate tumour re-wiring and provides mechanistic support for benefit from combination therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Abstract
Most particles in the rail subway environment are sub-micron sized ferruginous flakes and splinters generated mechanically by frictional wear of brake pads, wheels and rails. To better understand the mechanisms of formation and the alteration processes affecting inhalable particles in subways, PM samples (1-2.5 μm and 2.5-10 μm) were collected in the Barcelona Metro and then studied under a scanning electron microscope. Most particles in these samples are hematitic (up to 88%), with relatively minor amounts of mineral matter (up to 9%) and sulphates (up to 5%). Detailed microscopy (using back scattered and TEM-DRX imaging) reveals how many of the metallic particles comprise the metallic Fe nucleus surrounded by hematite (Fe2O3) and a coating of sulphate and chloride salts mixed with mineral matter (including Ca-carbonates, clay minerals and quartz). These observations record the emission of fine to ultrafine FePM by frictional wear at elevated temperatures that promote rapid partial (or complete) oxidation of the native metal. Water condensing on the PM surface during cooling leads to the adsorption of inorganic mineral particles that coat the iron oxide. The distinctively layered polymineralic structure that results from these processes is peculiar to particles generated in the subway environment and very different from PM typically inhaled outdoors.

Abstract
Introduction Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are rare in the general population, but they account for nearly 70% of peripheral arterial aneurysms. There are several possible surgical approaches including exclusion of the aneurysm and bypass grafting, or endoaneurysmorrhaphy and interposition of a prosthetic conduit. The outcomes following the first approach are favorable, but persistent blood flow in the aneurysm sac has been documented in up to one third of patients in the early post-operative setting. Complications from incompletely excluded aneurysms include aneurysm enlargement, local compression symptoms, and sac rupture. Notably infection of a previously excluded and bypassed PAA is rare. This is the third reported case of PAA infection after exclusion and bypass grafting and the first due to Serratia liquefaciens. Methods Relevant medical data were collected from the hospital database. Results This case report describes a 54 year old male patient, diagnosed with acute limb ischaemia due to a thrombosed PAA, submitted to emergency surgery with exclusion and venous bypass. A below the knee amputation was necessary 3 months later. Patient follow-up was lost until 7 years following surgical repair, when he was diagnosed with aneurysm sac infection with skin fistulisation. He had recently been diagnosed with alcoholic hepatic cirrhosis Child–Pugh Class B. The patient was successfully treated by aneurysm resection, soft tissue debridement and systemic antibiotics. Conclusion PAA infection is a rare complication after exclusion and bypass procedures but should be considered in any patient with evidence of local or systemic infection. When a PAA infection is diagnosed, aneurysmectomy, local debridement, and intravenous antibiotic therapy are recommended. The “gold standard” method of PAA repair remains controversial. PAA excision or endoaneurysmorrhaphy avoids complications from incompletely excluded aneurysms, but is associated with a high risk of neurological damage. Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are the most common cause of non-traumatic leg amputation. Potential complications from PAA exclusion are aneurysm enlargement, local compression symptoms, sac rupture, and infection. Infection of a previously excluded and bypassed popliteal artery aneurysm is exceedingly rare. This is the third case of excluded aneurysm infection, and the first by the Serrate genus.

Abstract
Implying large residence times and complex water origins deep coastal aquifers are of particular interest as they are remarkable markers of climate, water use and land use changes. Over the last decades, the Metropolitan Region of Recife (Brazil) went through extensive environmental changes increasing the pressure on water resources and giving rise to numerous environmental consequences on the coastal groundwater systems. We analysed the groundwater of the deep aquifers Cabo and Beberibe that are increasingly exploited. The processes potentially affecting groundwater residence times and flow paths have been studied using a multi-tracer approach (CFCs, SF6, noble gases, 14C, 2H and 18O). The main findings of these investigations show that: (1) Groundwaters of the Cabo and Beberibe aquifers have long residence times and were recharged about 20,000years ago. (2) Within these old groundwaters we can find palaeo-climate evidences from the last glacial period at the tropics with lower temperatures and dryer conditions than the present climate. (3) Recently, the natural slow dynamic of these groundwater systems was significantly affected by mixing processes with contaminated modern groundwater coming from the shallow unconfined Boa Viagem aquifer. (4) The large exploitation of these aquifers leads to a modification of the flow directions and causes the intrusion through palaeo-channels of saline water probably coming from the Capibaribe River and from the last transgression episodes. These observations indicate that the current exploitation of the Cabo and Beberibe aquifers is unsustainable regarding the long renewal times of these groundwater systems as well as their ongoing contamination and salinisation. The groundwater cycle being much slower than the human development rhythm, it is essential to integrate the magnitude and rapidity of anthropogenic impacts on this extremely slow cycle to the water management concepts.

Abstract
In a context of increasing land use pressure (over-exploitation, surface-water contamination) and repeated droughts, identifying the processes affecting groundwater quality in coastal megacities of the tropical and arid countries will condition their long-term social and environmental sustainability. The present study focuses on the Brazilian Recife Metropolitan Region (RMR), which is a highly urbanized area (3,743,854 inhabitants in 2010) on the Atlantic coast located next to an estuarial zone and overlying a multi-layered sedimentary system featured by a variable sediment texture and organic content. It investigates the contamination and redox status patterns conditioning potential attenuation within the shallow aquifers that constitute the interface between the city and the strategic deeper semi-confined aquifers. These latter are increasingly exploited, leading to high drawdown in potenciometric levels of 20-30m and up to 70m in some high well density places, and potentially connected to the surface through leakage. From a multi-tracer approach (major ions, major gases, δ(11)B, δ(18)O-SO4, δ(34)S-SO4) carried out during two field campaigns in September 2012 and March 2013 (sampling of 19 wells and 3 surface waters), it has been possible to assess the contamination sources and the redox processes. The increasing trend for mineralization from inland to coastal and estuarial wells (from 119 to around 10,000μS/cm) is at first attributed to water-rock interactions combined with natural and human-induced potentiometric gradients. Secondly, along with this trend, one finds an environmental pressure gradient related to sewage and/or surface-channel network impacts (typically depleted δ(11)B within the range of 10-15‰) that are purveyors of chloride, nitrate, ammonium and sulfate. Nitrate, ammonium and sulfate (ranging from 0 to 1.70mmol/L, from 0 to 0,65mmol/L, from 0.03 to 3.91mmol/L respectively are also potentially produced or consumed through various redox processes (pyrite oxidation, denitrification, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium) within the system, as is apparent within a patchwork of biogeochemical reactors. Furthermore, intensive pumping in the coastal area with its high well density punctually leads to temporary well salinization ([Cl] reaching temporarily 79mmol/L). Our results, summarized as a conceptual scheme based on environmental conditions, is a suitable basis for implementing sustainable management in coastal sedimentary hydrosystems influenced by highly urbanized conditions.

Abstract
The antioxidant effects of Caryocar brasiliense Camb, commonly known
as the pequi fruit, have not been evaluated to determine their protective effects
against oxidative damage in lung carcinogenesis. In the present study, we evaluated
the role of pequi fruit against urethane-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress in
forty 8-12 week old male BALB/C mice. An in vivo comet assay was
performed to assess DNA damage in lung tissues and changes in lipid peroxidation and
redox cycle antioxidants were monitored for oxidative stress. Prior supplementation
with pequi oil or its extract (15 µL, 60 days) significantly reduced urethane-induced
oxidative stress. A protective effect against DNA damage was associated with the
modulation of lipid peroxidation and low protein and gene expression of nitric oxide
synthase. These findings suggest that the intake of pequi fruit might protect against
in vivo genotoxicity and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) shows promise for detecting cancerous change in pleural effusion and
urine. However, there is uncertainty about the localization of HA in tumor tissue and
its relationship with different histological types and other components of the
extracellular matrix, such as angiogenesis. We evaluated the association between HA
and degree of malignancy through expression in lung tumor tissue and sputum. Tumoral
tissue had significantly increased HA compared to normal tissue. Strong HA staining
intensity associated with cancer cells was significant in squamous cell carcinoma
compared to adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma. A significant direct association
was found between tumors with a high percentage of HA and MVD (microvessel density)
in tumoral stroma. Similarly significant was the direct association between N1 tumors
and high levels of HA in cancer cells. Cox multivariate analysis showed significant
association between better survival and low HA. HA increased in sputum from lung
cancer patients compared to cancer-free and healthy volunteers and a significant
correlation was found between HA in sputum and HA in cancer tissue. Localization of
HA in tumor tissue was related to malignancy and reflected in sputum, making this an
emerging factor for an important diagnostic procedure in patients suspected to have
lung cancer. Further study in additional patients in a randomized prospective trial
is required to finalize these results and to validate our quantitative assessment of
HA, as well as to couple it to gold standard sputum cytology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Screening methods have become increasingly important owing to the growing number of patients suspected of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) being referred for sleep consultation. The STOP-Bang questionnaire has been validated as a screening tool for OSA in surgical patients. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of a Portuguese version of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for the diagnosis of OSA in a sleep clinic. METHODS Prospectively, for 2 months, all patients referred to our clinic for clinical evaluation completed a translated version of the STOP-Bang questionnaire in Portuguese and underwent a sleep study. RESULTS We observed 216 patients and 215 (99.5%) were included. Age was 53.63±13.10 years, 63.3% were male patients, neck circumference was 40.4±44.11 cm and BMI was 29.41 [26.85; 33.06] kg/m(2). OSA was present in 78% of the patients, of whom, 33% had moderate and 37% had severe OSA. A STOP-Bang score ≥3 had a sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) for OSA of 93.4% and 86.6%, respectively. Each increase in the STOP-Bang score was associated with an increase in the probability of OSA and severe OSA; reaching a 95% OSA probability, for a score of 6, and a 73% severe OSA probability, for a score of 8. A score of 3 and 2 had a negative predictive value for moderate/severe OSA of 85.3% and 91.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The STOP-Bang questionnaire showed high sensitivity and PPV for OSA with the probability of severe OSA steadily increasing, the higher the scores. Furthermore, a low score showed high predictive value for the exclusion of moderate/severe OSA. The STOP-Bang questionnaire can be a powerful tool for stratifying patients in the diagnosis of OSA.

Abstract
Limitations on tissue proliferation capacity determined by telomerase/apoptosis
balance have been implicated in pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In
addition, collagen V shows promise as an inductor of apoptosis. We evaluated the
quantitative relationship between the telomerase/apoptosis index, collagen V
synthesis, and epithelial/fibroblast replication in mice exposed to butylated
hydroxytoluene (BHT) at high oxygen concentration. Two groups of mice were analyzed:
20 mice received BHT, and 10 control mice received corn oil. Telomerase expression,
apoptosis, collagen I, III, and V fibers, and hydroxyproline were evaluated by
immunohistochemistry, in situ detection of apoptosis, electron
microscopy, immunofluorescence, and histomorphometry. Electron microscopy confirmed
the presence of increased alveolar epithelial cells type 1 (AEC1) in apoptosis.
Immunostaining showed increased nuclear expression of telomerase in AEC type 2 (AEC2)
between normal and chronic scarring areas of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP).
Control lungs and normal areas from UIP lungs showed weak green birefringence of type
I and III collagens in the alveolar wall and type V collagen in the basement membrane
of alveolar capillaries. The increase in collagen V was greater than collagens I and
III in scarring areas of UIP. A significant direct association was found between
collagen V and AEC2 apoptosis. We concluded that telomerase, collagen V fiber
density, and apoptosis evaluation in experimental UIP offers the potential to control
reepithelization of alveolar septa and fibroblast proliferation. Strategies aimed at
preventing high rates of collagen V synthesis, or local responses to high rates of
cell apoptosis, may have a significant impact in pulmonary fibrosis.
