Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
COVID-19 has been disruptive to the delivery of medical education, which was felt particularly by final year students transitioning from student to Doctor [1]. ‘Preparation for practice’ (pfp) teaching in this cohort has been shown to significantly increase confidence and possibly patient care [2], therefore the quality of this teaching must be maintained despite restrictions. We created a session in which students watched video cases then they were asked to scribe the consultation, create a jobs list, and complete tasks within small groups. Feedback was provided in a group debriefing. The aim of this study was to test a novel method of teaching: using videos of simulated ward round encounters to practise clinical reasoning and clinical ward skills such as documentation and requesting. The study would assess perceived usefulness in general and when compared with written cases.
Fourteen final year medical students from a UK university attended one of two sessions, with the same resources and facilitator. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected by a survey composed of four Likert scale questions and three free text box questions.
Feedback was overwhelmingly positive and with a 100% completion rate. Students enjoyed the session, would like to see video cases used in future, and preferred videos over written cases. Positive themes from free-text answers were skills practice, realism, and increased interest. Themes for improvement were audio quality and challenge level.
The intended outcomes for the session were focussed on clinical knowledge and reasoning, however students seemed to benefit more from the clinical skills practised (an unintended but positive outcome). Future sessions could be tailored around clinical skills or clinical reasoning- we feel video cases would be useful in both areas. For validity the study would benefit from a larger group size, along with a direct comparison with a ‘control’ session using written cases. The Likert scale questions were positively skewed toward the video cases, so in a repeat study this should be considered.
Our use of video cases was a success, with students benefiting in areas both intended and unexpected. This highlighted to us the scope to expand their use in more areas of the curriculum. We hope that by using innovative techniques such as these, we can maintain a high level of ‘pfp’. Further research is needed to assess the credibility and transferability of the video cases as these could prove to be a useful tool in modern medical education.

Abstract
Cycling is an increasingly popular activity which is widely supported by health advocates. In the last year, more than a third of Australians used a bike [1]. While road cycling remains popular, participation in off-road recreational cycling, including mountain biking, bicycle moto cross (BMX) riding, and outdoor leisure cycling, is increasing and this is associated with an increase in the number and cost of cycling injuries [2-5]. The aim of this study was to describe and compare contemporary patterns of cycling fracture requiring hospitalisation as a function of cycling mode in the Australian Capital Territory region. This retrospective analysis of cycling-related-fracture hospitalisations in the ACT region described data recorded between July 2012 and December 2019. Logistic regression models were used to calculate probabilities of sustaining a fracture at different sites for each of the cycling modes (on-road, mountain, BMX, leisure, unspecified). These likelihoods were then compared against the on-road fracture profile. Cycling-related-fracture hospitalisations increased by 32% in the seven years analysed. Of all fracture admissions, 442 (33%) were on-road, 658 (49%) off-road, and 242 (18%) unknown. The majority were male (79%), median age 37 (IQR 16, 52). Median length of stay was two days. The number of fractures per admission ranged from one to thirteen with a median of one. Wrist, clavicle, ribs, and skull were the four most frequent fracture sites for all cycling modes. Fracture profiles of on- and off-road accidents were similar, with the exception of wrist fractures which were more likely in off-road (OR 1.96, p < 0.01) and unspecified cycling accidents (OR 5.07, p < 0.01). Skull fractures comprised 19% of all BMX-related fractures. More than half of all fracture-related admissions required surgery. With increasing support for sustainable and healthy transport and recreation activities, the fracture profiles of different cycling modes must first be assessed in order to inform strategies to reduce and manage this injury burden.

Abstract
Studying spin-momentum correlations in hadronic collisions offers a glimpse into a three-dimensional picture of proton structure. The transverse single-spin asymmetry for midrapidity isolated direct photons in p^{↑}+p collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Because direct photons in particular are produced from the hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force, this measurement is a clean probe of initial-state spin-momentum correlations inside the proton and is in particular sensitive to gluon interference effects within the proton. This is the first time direct photons have been used as a probe of spin-momentum correlations at RHIC. The uncertainties on the results are a 50-fold improvement with respect to those of the one prior measurement for the same observable, from the Fermilab E704 experiment. These results constrain gluon spin-momentum correlations in transversely polarized protons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few studies have examined the dose-response and temporal relationships between marijuana use and ischemic stroke while controlling for important confounders, including the amount of tobacco smoking. The purpose of our study was to address these knowledge gaps. METHODS A population-based case-control study with 1090 cases and 1152 controls was used to investigate the relationship of marijuana use and early-onset ischemic stroke. Cases were first-ever ischemic stroke between the ages of 15 and 49 identified from 59 hospitals in the Baltimore-Washington region. Controls obtained by random digit dialing from the same geographic region were frequency-matched to cases by age, sex, region of residence and, except for the initial study phase, race. After excluding subjects with cocaine and other vasoactive substance use, the final study sample consisted of 751 cases and 813 controls. All participants underwent standardized interviews to characterize stroke risk factors and marijuana use. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationships between marijuana use and risk of ischemic stroke, adjusting for age, sex, race, study phase, the amount of current tobacco smoking, current alcohol use, hypertension, and diabetes. RESULTS After adjusting for other risk factors, including the amount of current tobacco smoking, marijuana use was not associated with ischemic stroke, regardless of the timing of use in relationship to the stroke, including ever use, use within 30 days, and use within 24 hours. There was a nonsignificant trend towards increased stroke risk among those who smoked marijuana at least once a week (odds ratio, 1.9 [95% CI, 0.8-4.9]). CONCLUSIONS These analyses do not demonstrate an association between marijuana use and an increased risk of early-onset ischemic stroke, although statistical power was limited for assessing the association among very heavy users.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Stroke-like symptoms may be difficult to appreciate due to the high incidence of stroke mimics (e.g., delirium) in the inpatient population. Many centers have adopted inpatient-specific stroke protocols with the aim of improving time to diagnosis and treatment. We aimed to assess one of these instruments, the "2CAN" score, in our patient population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted for all inpatients for whom our Brain Attack Team (BAT) was called between January 2015 and June 2019. Patients were excluded if they had stroke prior to current admission, were in the emergency department at the time of BAT call, or had incomplete documentation. The 2CAN score was calculated for each patient. RESULTS The BAT was activated 201 times, and 110 patients met inclusion criteria. Twenty percent of patients had a history of atrial fibrillation, 72% hypertension, and 36% diabetes. Median NIHSS was 14.5 (IQR 5-24). Only 18% of stroke calls occurred within 24 h of hospital admission. The mean 2CAN score was 2.8. Ninety-seven (88%) patients received a final diagnosis of ischemic stroke and 13 (12%) of stroke mimics. There was no difference between 2CAN scores in the stroke and mimic groups (P = 0.91). A 2CAN score of ≥ 2 had sensitivity 83.5%, specificity 23.1%, PPV 89.0%, and NPV 15.8% for stroke. CONCLUSIONS The 2CAN score was derived and validated in a single academic center as a tool to recognize inpatient stroke. The 2CAN score had good sensitivity and positive predictive value for stroke in our cohort, but poor specificity.

Abstract
Importance Management of transient ischemic attack (TIA) has gained significant attention during the past 25 years after several landmark studies indicated the high incidence of a subsequent stroke. Objective To calculate the pooled event rate of subsequent ischemic stroke within 2, 7, 30, and 90 days of a TIA and compare this incidence among the population with TIA recruited before 1999 (group A), from 1999 to 2007 (group B), and after 2007 (group C). Data Sources All published studies of TIA outcomes were obtained by searching PubMed from 1996, to the last update on January 31, 2020, irrespective of the study design, document type, or language. Study Selection Of 11 516 identified citations, 175 articles were relevant to this review. Both the classic time-based definition of TIA and the new tissue-based definition were accepted. Studies with a combined record of patients with TIA and ischemic stroke, without clinical evaluation for the index TIA, with diagnosis of index TIA event after ischemic stroke occurrence, with low suspicion for TIA, or duplicate reports of the same database were excluded. Data Extraction and Synthesis The study was conducted and reported according to the PRISMA, MOOSE, and EQUATOR guidelines. Critical appraisal and methodological quality assessment used the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. Publication bias was visualized by funnel plots and measured by the Begg-Mazumdar rank correlation Kendall τ2 statistic and Egger bias test. Data were pooled using double arcsine transformations, DerSimonian-Laird estimator, and random-effects models. Main Outcomes and Measures The proportion of the early ischemic stroke after TIA within 4 evaluation intervals (2, 7, 30, and 90 days) was considered as effect size. Results Systematic review yielded 68 unique studies with 223 866 unique patients from 1971 to 2019. The meta-analysis included 206 455 patients (58% women) during a span of 4 decades. The overall subsequent ischemic stroke incidence rates were estimated as 2.4% (95% CI, 1.8%-3.2%) within 2 days, 3.8% (95% CI, 2.5%-5.4%) within 7 days, 4.1% (95% CI, 2.4%-6.3%) within 30 days, and 4.7% (95% CI, 3.3%-6.4%) within 90 days. There was a recurrence risk of 3.4% among group A in comparison with 2.1% in group B or 2.1% in group C within 2 days; 5.5% in group A vs 2.9% in group B or 3.2% in group C within 7 days; 6.3% in group A vs 2.9% in group B or 3.4% in group C within 30 days, and 7.4% in group A vs 3.9% in group B or 3.9% in group C within 90 days. Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that TIA continues to be associated with a high risk of early stroke; however, the rate of post-TIA stroke might have decreased slightly during the past 2 decades.

Abstract
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of L-phenylalanine (Phe) metabolism. It is caused by a partial or complete deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which is necessary for conversion of Phe to tyrosine (Tyr). This metabolic error results in buildup of Phe and reduction of Tyr concentration in blood and in the brain, leading to neurological disease and intellectual deficits. Patients exhibit retarded body growth, hypopigmentation, hypocholesterolemia and low levels of neurotransmitters. Here we report first attempt at creating a homozygous Pah knock-out (KO) (Hom) mouse model, which was developed in the C57BL/6 J strain using CRISPR/Cas9 where codon 7 (GAG) in Pah gene was changed to a stop codon TAG. We investigated 2 to 6-month-old, male, Hom mice using comprehensive behavioral and biochemical assays, MRI and histopathology. Age and sex-matched heterozygous Pah-KO (Het) mice were used as control mice, as they exhibit enough PAH enzyme activity to provide Phe and Tyr levels comparable to the wild-type mice. Overall, our findings demonstrate that 6-month-old, male Hom mice completely lack PAH enzyme, exhibit significantly higher blood and brain Phe levels, lower levels of brain Tyr and neurotransmitters along with lower myelin content and have significant behavioral deficit. These mice exhibit phenotypes that closely resemble PKU patients such as retarded body growth, cutaneous hypopigmentation, and hypocholesterolemia when compared to the age- and sex-matched Het mice. Altogether, biochemical, behavioral, and pathologic features of this novel mouse model suggest that it can be used as a reliable translational tool for PKU preclinical research and drug development.

Abstract
Background:
Stroke in young adults accounts for 15-18% of all ischemic stroke (IS) cases and disproportionately affects African Americans (AfrAm). While it is well known that a higher prevalence of vascular risk factors, particularly HTN and DM, contributes to this excess risk, few studies have examined the potential contribution of the synergistic risk from multiple vascular risk factors.
Methods:
A population-based case-control study with 582 cases and 727 controls ages 15-49 was used to investigate the relationship of multiple risk factors and IS in young adults and compare AfrAM and White cases for the prevalence of multiple risk factors. Logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, sex, and race was used to evaluate the association between the following mutually exclusive risk factor groups and IS: (a) Smoking alone, (b) Smoking+ HTN only, (c) Smoking + HTN +Obesity only (d) Smoking + HTN + Obesity +DM. The reference group for these analyses was those with no risk factors. Logistic regression with adjustment for age only was also used to compare AfrAM vs White cases for their prevalence in each risk factor group.
Results:
There were a total 218 cases with no risk factors. The odds of having an IS increased exponentially as the number of risk factors increased (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.8 - 3.0, p <0.0001 for group a versus OR 16.5, 95% CI 4.8-56.1, p<0.0001 for group d). Young AfrAM cases were approximately 6 times more likely (25.3% vs. 4.3% p<0.0001) than White cases to be in the multiple risk factor group d.
Conclusion:
The risk of IS increases in an exponential manner in young adults with an increasing number of traditional risk factors. Compared to their White counterparts, young AfrAm IS cases are approximately 6 times more likely to have all 4 risk factors: smoking, HTN, DM and obesity. Risk factor synergy could contribute to the excess risk of IS among young AfrAm and our study emphasizes early screening for vascular risk factors in this subgroup.

Abstract
We report on the nuclear dependence of transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) in the production of positively charged hadrons in polarized p^{↑}+p, p^{↑}+Al, and p^{↑}+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The measurements have been performed at forward rapidity (1.4<η<2.4) over the range of transverse momentum (1.8<p_{T}<7.0 GeV/c) and Feynman x (0.1<x_{F}<0.2). We observed positive asymmetries for positively charged hadrons in p^{↑}+p collisions, and significantly reduced asymmetries in p^{↑}+A collisions. These results reveal a nuclear dependence of TSSAs for charged-hadron production in a regime where perturbative techniques are applicable. These results provide new opportunities to use p^{↑}+A collisions as a tool to investigate the rich phenomena behind TSSAs in hadronic collisions and to use TSSAs as a new handle in studying small-system collisions.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Early evaluation and management of patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and nonsevere ischemic stroke improves outcomes. OBJECTIVE To identify processes of care associated with reduced risk of death or recurrent stroke among patients with TIA or nonsevere ischemic stroke. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study included all patients with TIA or nonsevere ischemic stroke at Department of Veterans Affairs emergency department or inpatient settings from October 2010 to September 2011. Multivariable logistic regression was used to model associations of processes of care and without-fail care, defined as receiving all guideline-concordant processes of care for which patients are eligible, with risk of death and recurrent stroke. Data were analyzed from March 2018 to April 2019. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Risk of all-cause mortality and recurrent ischemic stroke at 90 days and 1 year was calculated. Overall, 28 processes of care were examined. Without-fail care was assessed for 6 processes: brain imaging, carotid artery imaging, hypertension medication intensification, high- or moderate-potency statin therapy, antithrombotics, and anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. RESULTS Among 8076 patients, the mean (SD) age was 67.8 (11.6) years, 7752 patients (96.0%) were men, 5929 (73.4%) were white, 474 (6.1%) had a recurrent ischemic stroke within 90 days, 793 (10.7%) had a recurrent ischemic stroke within 1 year, 320 (4.0%) died within 90 days, and 814 (10.1%) died within 1 year. Overall, 9 processes were independently associated with lower odds of both 90-day and 1-year mortality after adjustment for multiple comparisons: carotid artery imaging (90-day adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.49; 95% CI, 0.38-0.63; 1-year aOR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.52-0.72), antihypertensive medication class (90-day aOR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.45-0.74; 1-year aOR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.60-0.83), lipid measurement (90-day aOR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.51-0.90; 1-year aOR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.53-0.78), lipid management (90-day aOR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.33-0.65; 1-year aOR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.53-0.85), discharged receiving statin medication (90-day aOR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.36-0.73; 1-year aOR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.55-0.88), cholesterol-lowering medication intensification (90-day aOR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.26-0.83; 1-year aOR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.41-0.77), antithrombotics by day 2 (90-day aOR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.40-0.79; 1-year aOR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55-0.87) or at discharge (90-day aOR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.41-0.86; 1-year aOR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.54-0.88), and neurology consultation (90-day aOR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.52-0.87; 1-year aOR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.63-0.87). Anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation was associated with lower odds of 1-year mortality only (aOR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.40-0.85). No processes were associated with reduced risk of recurrent stroke after adjustment for multiple comparisons. The rate of without-fail care was 15.3%; 1216 patients received all guideline-concordant processes of care for which they were eligible. Without-fail care was associated with a 31.2% lower odds of 1-year mortality (aOR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55-0.87) but was not independently associated with stroke risk. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Patients who received 6 readily available processes of care had lower adjusted mortality 1 year after TIA or nonsevere ischemic stroke. Clinicians caring for patients with TIA and nonsevere ischemic stroke should seek to ensure that patients receive all guideline-concordant processes of care for which they are eligible.

Abstract
Introduction:
New EMS routing protocols are being proposed to divert acute stroke patients, based on the likelihood of having a large vessel occlusion (LVO), directly to Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSC), in order to reduce the inherent delay of a secondary transfer from a Primary Stroke Center (PSC) to a CSC. Within Baltimore City, transfer from a PSC to a CSC for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) adds, on average, an additional 90-minute delay in achieving reperfusion.
Aim:
To determine the feasibility and safety of an EMS routing protocol in which, patients determined to have an LVO-related acute stroke, based on use of a stroke severity score in the field, are directed to the nearest CSC bypassing closer PSCs within Baltimore City.
Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted over a six-month period, from September 2017 to March 2018. Acute stroke patients with a LAMS of ≥4 were taken by EMS to the nearest CSC, bypassing closer PSCs, as long as the travel time did not exceed an additional 30 minutes. Data collected at the three CSCs included transport times, IV-tPA and MT use in the diverted patients, time from onset to treatment and 90-day functional outcomes. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results:
Forty-five patients with LAMS of ≥4 were diverted to a CSC. Approximately 50% (20/45) had a final diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke and 35% of those were eligible for an intervention, either IV-tPA or MT or both. Average onset to IV-tPA bolus time was 114 minutes (93-163 minutes). Average onset to groin puncture was 197 minutes (192-202 minutes). There were 4 in-hospital deaths. Among survivors, the 90 day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ranged from 0-3. Mean field transport time was 17 minutes (range: 4-63 minutes). None of the re-routed patients were ineligible for IV-tPA due to additional time to CSC. There were no reported adverse outcomes due to increased travel time associated with diversion.
Conclusion:
Implementation of EMS routing protocols to divert acute stroke patients suspected of having an LVO past PSCs to CSC within cities is feasible and appears safe. The limitations of this study include small size, short duration and small region of implementation. Further study is warranted on a larger scale both in population and geographic area.

Abstract
Asymmetric nuclear collisions of p+Al, p+Au, d+Au, and ^{3}He+Au at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV provide an excellent laboratory for understanding particle production, as well as exploring interactions among these particles after their initial creation in the collision. We present measurements of charged hadron production dN_{ch}/dη in all such collision systems over a broad pseudorapidity range and as a function of collision multiplicity. A simple wounded quark model is remarkably successful at describing the full data set. We also measure the elliptic flow v_{2} over a similarly broad pseudorapidity range. These measurements provide key constraints on models of particle emission and their translation into flow.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite interest in using electronic health record (EHR) data to assess quality of care, the accuracy of such data is largely unknown. We sought to develop and validate transient ischemic attack and minor ischemic stroke electronic quality measures (eQMs) using EHR data. METHODS AND RESULTS A random sample of patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke, cared for in Veterans Health Administration facilities (fiscal year 2011), was identified. We constructed 31 eQMs based on existing quality measures. Chart review was the criterion standard for validating the eQMs. To evaluate eQMs in terms of eligibility, we calculated the proportion of patients who were genuinely not eligible to receive a process (based on chart review) and who were correctly identified as not eligible by the EHR data (specificity). To assess eQMs about classification of whether patients received a process, we calculated the proportion of patients who actually received the process (based on chart review) and who were classified correctly by the EHR data as passing (sensitivity). Seven hundred sixty-three patients were included. About eligibility, specificity varied from 25% (brain imaging; carotid imaging) to 99% (anticoagulation quality). About pass rates, sensitivity varied from 30% (antihypertensive class) to 100% (coronary risk assessment; international normalized ratio measured). The 16 eQMs with ≥70% specificity in eligibility and ≥70% sensitivity in pass rates included coronary risk assessment, international normalized ratio measured, HbA1c measurement, speech language pathology consultation, anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation, discharge on statin, lipid management, neurology consultation, Holter, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, oral hypoglycemic intensification, cholesterol medication intensification, antihypertensive intensification, antihypertensive class, carotid stenosis intervention, and substance abuse referral for alcohol. CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to construct valid eQMs for processes of transient ischemic attack and minor ischemic stroke care. Healthcare systems with EHRs should consider using electronic data to evaluate care for their patients with transient ischemic attack and to complement and expand quality measurement programs currently focused on patients with stroke.

Abstract
Recently, multiparticle-correlation measurements of relativistic p/d/^{3}He+Au, p+Pb, and even p+p collisions show surprising collective signatures. Here, we present beam-energy-scan measurements of two-, four-, and six-particle angular correlations in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200, 62.4, 39, and 19.6 GeV. We also present measurements of two- and four-particle angular correlations in p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. We find the four-particle cumulant to be real valued for d+Au collisions at all four energies. We also find that the four-particle cumulant in p+Au has the opposite sign as that in d+Au. Further, we find that the six-particle cumulant agrees with the four-particle cumulant in d+Au collisions at 200 GeV, indicating that nonflow effects are subdominant. These observations provide strong evidence that the correlations originate from the initial geometric configuration, which is then translated into the momentum distribution for all particles, commonly referred to as collectivity.

Abstract
Introduction:
There is a strong dose-response relationship between smoking and risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in young women, but there are few data examining this association in young men. We examined the dose-response relationship between the quantity of cigarettes smoked and the odds of developing an IS in men under age 50.
Methods:
The Stroke Prevention in Young Men Study is a population-based case-control study of risk factors for IS in 1145 men ages 15-49. Controls were identified by random-digit dialing and were balanced to cases for geographic region of residence, age, and ethnicity. Logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratio for IS occurrence comparing smokers to never smokers. In the first model, we adjusted solely for age. In the second model, we adjusted for potential confounding factors, including age, race, education, hypertension, myocardial infarction, angina, diabetes mellitus and body mass index. Interaction terms were used to examine potential effect modification by other risk factors. Statistical tests were 2-tailed and P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results:
The table shows that IS risk increased with amount of current smoking and that 2 packs per day current smokers had over a 5-fold increased risk of IS. There were no significant interactions with other risk factors.
Conclusions:
We found a strong dose-response relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked daily and IS among young men. While complete smoking cessation is the goal, even reducing the number of cigarettes smoked may reduce the risk of IS in young men.

Abstract
During 2015, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided collisions of transversely polarized protons with Au and Al nuclei for the first time, enabling the exploration of transverse-single-spin asymmetries with heavy nuclei. Large single-spin asymmetries in very forward neutron production have been previously observed in transversely polarized p+p collisions at RHIC, and the existing theoretical framework that was successful in describing the single-spin asymmetry in p+p collisions predicts only a moderate atomic-mass-number (A) dependence. In contrast, the asymmetries observed at RHIC in p+A collisions showed a surprisingly strong A dependence in inclusive forward neutron production. The observed asymmetry in p+Al collisions is much smaller, while the asymmetry in p+Au collisions is a factor of 3 larger in absolute value and of opposite sign. The interplay of different neutron production mechanisms is discussed as a possible explanation of the observed A dependence.

A Prototype Combination TPC Cherenkov Detector with GEM Readout for Tracking and Particle Identification and its Potential Use at an Electron Ion Collider. EPJ Web Conf 2018.

Abstract
A prototype detector is being developed which combines the functions of a Time Projection Chamber for charged particle tracking and a Cherenkov detector for particle identification. The TPC consists of a 10×10×10 cm3 drift volume where the charge is drifted to a 10×10 cm2 triple GEM detector. The charge is measured on a readout plane consisting of 2×10 mm2 chevron pads which provide a spatial resolution ∼ 100 μm per point in the chevron direction along with dE/dx information. The Cherenkov portion of the detector consists of a second 10×10 cm2 triple GEM with a photosensitive CsI photocathode on the top layer. This detector measures Cherenkov light produced in the drift gas of the TPC by high velocity particles which are above threshold. CF4 or CF4 mixtures will be used as the drift gas which are highly transparent to UV light and can provide excellent efficiency for detecting Cherenkov photons. The drift gas is also used as the operating gas for both GEM detectors. The prototype detector has been constructed and is currently being tested in the lab with sources and cosmic rays, and additional tests are planned in the future to study the detector in a test beam.

Abstract
Background:
Interventions that emphasize early evaluation and management of patients with TIA and minor stroke have demonstrated reductions in recurrent vascular events.
Objective:
To identify processes of care that were associated with reduced risk of recurrent vascular events after TIA or minor stroke.
Methods:
We identified patients with a TIA or minor stroke cared for in a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Emergency Department or inpatient ward (fiscal year 2011). Recurrent vascular events included ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmia or death within 90-days and 1-year of discharge. 32 processes of care were examined. Defect-free care was assessed for a set of 6 processes (brain imaging, carotid artery imaging, hypertension management, high or moderate potency statin, antithrombotics, and anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation); patients who received all processes for which they were eligible passed the defect-free measure. Multivariable logistic regression with a random facility effect was used to model recurrent events. Clinically important potential confounders were forced into all models; other significant covariates were identified by backward selection.
Results:
Among 8107 patients, 14.0% had a recurrent vascular event within 90-days; 26.5% within 1-year. Three processes were associated with lower 90-day events after adjustment for 24 covariates: carotid artery imaging (adjusted OR, 0.74 [95%CI, 0.65-0.85], lipid measurement (0.80 [0.68-0.94]), and anticoagulation quality for atrial fibrillation (0.56 [0.35-0.88]). Three processes were associated with reduced 1-year events: carotid artery imaging (0.80 [0.71-0.89]), lipid measurement (0.85 [0.75-0.97]), and timely carotid stenosis intervention (0.49 [0.26-0.94]). The defect-free care rate, observed in 17.4%, was also associated with a reduction in recurrent vascular event risk both within 90-days (0.78 [0.65-0.93]) and 1-year (0.82 [0.71-0.94]).
Conclusions:
The delivery of a comprehensive set of clinical processes was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in short and longer-term risk of recurrent vascular events. Widespread implementation of these processes should be strongly considered.

Abstract
Background:
With the purpose of identifying gaps as well as best practices in guideline-concordant TIA/minor stroke care in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system, we sought to elucidate the perceived challenges and facilitators of TIA care across clinical specialties and across settings of care.
Methods:
We conducted a prospective, formative evaluation in 14 VHA hospitals across the US. We conducted 70 semi-structured interviews with front-line clinicians, leadership and quality managers. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed, and double coded in Nvivo 10 software using an emergent codebook. We analyzed the reported challenges and facilitators of TIA guideline care.
Results:
Six of the fourteen sites reported the existence of a Stroke Nurse Coordinator to track the quality of stroke care and to minimize the gaps in services across inpatient and outpatient settings. Of the six, only one site had a defined algorithm for TIA care services specifically for and separate from their stroke protocols. A lack of care coordination for TIA patients across services and across the inpatient and outpatient settings were major reported challenges. Sites without a stroke coordinator often reported a lack of staff to reduce this service gap. Some provided outpatient follow-up as well as risk factor management at the inpatient bedside for all admitted TIA patients and this appeared to facilitate TIA care. Educating facility staff for stroke care was a common responsibility, but few stated they provided TIA-specific staff education. Stroke/TIA quality data collection was often performed by the Stroke Nurse Coordinator; however the data feedback process varied widely across facilities from none to a stroke team, and by schedule from weekly or, quarterly to occasionally. It is unclear how the Stroke Nurse Coordinator interacted with the neurology service from these data, but the six sites with a Stroke Nurse Coordinator had much lower rates of consulting the Neurology service.
Conclusions:
Extending the role of the local Stroke Coordinator to include specifying a TIA protocol, assisting care coordination for patients with TIA, tracking and feeding quality data back to local providers may improve the quality of TIA care. SDP # 12-178.

Abstract
Background:
The Affordable Care Act included eight stroke indicators in its Meaningful Use (MU) program. This project evaluated stroke MU measures in national VHA data and determined sources of error in using centralized electronic health record (EHR) data.
Methods:
We converted local SQL queries that generated stroke indicators to run on VA Central Data Warehouse (CDW) data, mapping each local data element to the corresponding CDW data element and table. Numerator (NM) and denominator (DN) results were generated from CDW data in a sample of 2200 ischemic stroke admissions in 11 VA hospitals. Local and CDW NM and DN results were compared to chart review. NM and DN mismatch reports were iteratively examined to identify, categorize, and correct sources of error. We calculated passing rates, sensitivity and specificity for the NMs and DNs, and an overall accuracy kappa statistic.
Results:
Results for two measures (VTE prophylaxis and antithrombotic (AT) by day 2) are shown in the Table. The most common error in VTE prophylaxis was failure to identify mechanical prophylaxis devices (171/185 NM false negative errors), and in the AT measure was failure to identify a contraindication to therapy (50/59 DN false positive errors). Errors impacting multiple indicators included difficulty identifying Comfort Care status, discrepancies between electronic and charted medication administration, and difficulty identifying medications given in the ER. Passing rates (chart review vs. EHR) were higher with chart review for VTE (87% vs 76%) but similar for AT (91% vs 90%).
Conclusions:
Stroke MU indicators can be relatively accurately generated from existing EHR systems but accuracy decreases in central compared to local data sources. To improve stroke MU measure accuracy, EHRs should include standardized data elements for devices, Comfort Care status, recording contraindications, and medications given in the ER.

Abstract
Background Stroke mortality has been found to be much higher among residents in the stroke belt region than in the rest of United States, but it is not known whether differences exist in the quality of stroke care provided in Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers in states inside and outside this region. Objective We compared mortality and inpatient stroke care quality between Veterans Affairs medical centers inside and outside the stroke belt region. Methods Study patients were veterans hospitalized for ischemic stroke at 129 Veterans Affairs medical centers. Inpatient stroke care quality was assessed by 14 quality indicators. Multivariable logistic regression models were fit to examine differences in quality between facilities inside and outside the stroke belt, adjusting for patient characteristics and Veterans Affairs medical centers clustering effect. Results Among the 3909 patients, 28·1% received inpatient ischemic stroke care in 28 stroke belt Veterans Affairs medical centers, and 71·9% obtained care in 101 non-stroke belt Veterans Affairs medical centers. Patients cared for in stroke belt Veterans Affairs medical centers were more likely to be younger, Black, married, have a higher stroke severity, and less likely to be ambulatory pre-stroke. We found no statistically significant differences in short- and long-term post-admission mortality and inpatient care quality indicators between the patients cared for in stroke belt and non-stroke belt Veterans Affairs medical centers after risk adjustment. Conclusions These data suggest that a stroke belt does not exist within the Veterans Affairs health care system in terms of either post-admission mortality or inpatient care quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computer-based clinical decision support (CDS) is an important component of the electronic health record (EHR). As an increasing amount of CDS is implemented, it will be important that this be accomplished in a fashion that assists in clinical decision making without imposing unacceptable demands and burdens upon the provider's practice. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to explore an approach that allows CDS to be clinician-friendly from a variety of perspectives, to build a prototype implementation that illustrates features of the approach, and to gain experience with a pilot framework for assessment. METHODS The paper first discusses the project's design philosophy and goals. It then describes a prototype implementation (Neuropath/CDS) that explores the approach in the domain of neuropathic pain and in the context of the US Veterans Administration EHR. Finally, the paper discusses a framework for assessing the approach, illustrated by a pilot assessment of Neuropath/CDS. RESULTS The paper describes the operation and technical design of Neuropath/CDS, as well as the results of the pilot assessment, which emphasize the four areas of focus, scope, content, and presentation. CONCLUSIONS The work to date has allowed us to explore various design and implementation issues relating to the approach illustrated in Neuropath/CDS, as well as the development and pilot application of a framework for assessment.

Abstract
Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease (GSD) type II, is caused by deficiency of lysosomal acid α-glucosidase (GAA). The resulting glycogen accumulation causes a spectrum of disease severity ranging from a rapidly progressive course that is typically fatal by 1 to 2 years of age to a slower progressive course that causes significant morbidity and early mortality in children and adults. The aim of this study is to better understand the biochemical consequences of glycogen accumulation in the Pompe mouse. We evaluated glycogen metabolism in heart, triceps, quadriceps, and liver from wild type and several strains of GAA−/− mice. Unexpectedly, we observed that lysosomal glycogen storage correlated with a robust increase in factors that normally promote glycogen biosynthesis. The GAA−/− mouse strains were found to have elevated glycogen synthase (GS), glycogenin, hexokinase, and glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P, the allosteric activator of GS). Treating GAA−/− mice with recombinant human GAA (rhGAA) led to a dramatic reduction in the levels of glycogen, GS, glycogenin, and G-6-P. Lysosomal glycogen storage also correlated with a dysregulation of phosphorylase, which normally breaks down cytoplasmic glycogen. Analysis of phosphorylase activity confirmed a previous report that, although phosphorylase protein levels are identical in muscle lysates from wild type and GAA−/− mice, phosphorylase activity is suppressed in the GAA−/− mice in the absence of AMP. This reduction in phosphorylase activity likely exacerbates lysosomal glycogen accumulation. If the dysregulation in glycogen metabolism observed in the mouse model of Pompe disease also occurs in Pompe patients, it may contribute to the observed broad spectrum of disease severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is considering developing a 30-day ischemic stroke hospital-level mortality model using administrative data. We examined whether inclusion of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), a measure of stroke severity not included in administrative data, would alter 30-day mortality rates in the Veterans Health Administration. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 2562 veterans admitted with ischemic stroke to 64 Veterans Health Administration Hospitals in the fiscal year 2007 were included. First, we examined the distribution of unadjusted mortality rates across the Veterans Health Administration. Second, we estimated 30-day all-cause, risk standardized mortality rates (RSMRs) for each hospital by adjusting for age, sex, and comorbid conditions using hierarchical models with and without the inclusion of the NIHSS. Finally, we examined whether adjustment for the NIHSS significantly changed RSMRs for each hospital compared with other hospitals. The median unadjusted mortality rate was 3.6%. The RSMR interquartile range without the NIHSS ranged from 5.1% to 5.6%. Adjustment with the NIHSS did not change the RSMR interquartile range (5.1%-5.6%). Among veterans ≥65 years, the RSMR interquartile range without the NIHSS ranged from 9.2% to 10.3%. With adjustment for the NIHSS, the RSMR interquartile range changed from 9.4% to 10.0%. The plot of 30-day RSMRs estimated with and without the inclusion of the NIHSS in the model demonstrated overlapping 95% confidence intervals across all hospitals, with no hospital significantly below or above the mean-unadjusted 30-day mortality rate. The 30-day mortality measure did not discriminate well among hospitals. CONCLUSIONS The impact of the NIHSS on RSMRs was limited. The small number of stroke admissions and the narrow range of 30-day stroke mortality rates at the facility level in the Veterans Health Administration cast doubt on the value of using 30-day RSMRs as a means of identifying outlier hospitals based on their stroke care quality.

Abstract
Objectives:
Risk-standardized mortality is increasingly recognized as an important measure of hospital quality. We conducted a systematic review to identify models of morality after stroke developed to profile hospitals or predict patient mortality within 1 year of stroke hospitalization.
Methods:
We searched PubMed for English-language articles published since 1996. Articles were excluded if they were restricted to hemorrhagic strokes or transient ischemic attacks, did not report mortality within 1 year of the index stroke event, had fewer than 100 subjects, considered only a sub-group of patients based on a demographic or clinical characteristic (e.g. only diabetic patients), or used a composite outcome. The investigators independently reviewed all abstracts to select articles that met criteria and used a standardized instrument to abstract information.
Findings:
Of the 1,794 articles identified during the initial search, only 20 met our inclusion criteria. We identified one article that developed a model for purposes of hospital comparison; this model focused on the predictive value of laboratory results. The remaining 19 articles developed models to predict patient-level mortality. All of the studies relied on chart data for their models. The studies varied in terms of case definition (10/20 included ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes), duration of follow-up, and the selection of covariates for inclusion in the models. The significance of included clinical covariates also varied across studies for age (significant in 12/18 models), diabetes/ hyperglycemia (4/15), prior stroke (4/14), hypertension (2/13), atrial fibrillation (4/12), and ischemic heart disease (2/12). Less than half (9/20) of the papers included a stroke severity measure in the model. Although the severity measure varied widely across studies, most (8/9) found severity to be significantly associated with mortality. Fewer than half of the studies included an external validation of their model.
Conclusions:
We identified 20 separate models to predict stroke mortality but these studies varied widely in characteristics and findings. Our search did not identify a validated hospital-level model that could be feasibly used to measure hospital quality on a national level.

Abstract
Background
This is the first study of age disparities in ischemic stroke care quality and post-stroke outcomes across the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system.
Methods
This was a retrospective study of a national sample of US veterans admitted to VA medical centers for ischemic stroke between 10/1/06 and 9/30/07. The following 14 inpatient stroke quality indicators were assessed: 1) dysphagia screening before oral intake; 2) NIH Stroke Scale completion ; 3) thrombolysis; 4) DVT prophylaxis; 5) early antithrombotic therapy; 6) early ambulation; 7) fall risk assessment; 8) pressure ulcer risk assessment; 9) rehabilitation consultation); 10) antithrombotic therapy at discharge; 11) atrial fibrillation management; 12) lipid management; 13) smoking cessation counseling; and 14) stroke education. Post-stroke outcomes included: risk-adjusted mortality (in-hospital and 6-month post-stroke); and hospital readmission (30-day and 6-month). Four age categories were assigned (<65, 65-74, 75-84, and ≥85 years). We modeled each quality indicator (defined as pass or fail among eligible patients) using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for race, stroke severity, comorbidity, smoking status, APACHE II score, hospital geography, complexity and volume.
Results
Among the 3,937 US Veterans with ischemic stroke, the overall pass rate among the quality indicators was > 70% for 9 of the 14 processes of care. Patients ≥85 years old were less likely than younger patients to receive atrial fibrillation management, smoking cessation counseling, NIHSS documentation, and early ambulation (p < .05). Patients aged ≥85 years were more likely to have dysphagia screening (p < .05). Risk adjusted mortality was higher among patients aged ≥85 years compared with each of the younger patient groups in both in-hospital mortality (p < .0001) and 6-month mortality (p < .0001). The oldest patients also had higher 6-month hospital re-admission rates than each of the younger patient groups (p = .002).
Conclusions
Despite overall good quality of inpatient stroke care within the VA system, further work is needed to investigate possible associations between patient age, disparities in quality indicators and outcomes of post-stroke.

Abstract
Objective:
Hospital readmission has been used to risk-stratify patients and profile hospitals by public reporting of performance measures. We conducted a systematic review to identify models developed to compare hospital rates of readmission or predict patients' risk of readmission after stroke, and identify characteristics independently associated with readmission in these models.
Methods:
We identified English-language studies published from 1989-2009 using MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, PsychINFO, and all Ovid Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews. Eligible publications reported readmission within 1 year after stroke hospitalization and identified 1 or more predictors of readmission in risk-adjusted statistical models. Publications were excluded if they lacked primary data or quantitative outcomes, considered composite outcomes, or had fewer than 100 patients. Investigators independently reviewed abstracts to select publications that met criteria and used a standardized instrument to perform detailed data abstraction.
Results:
Of the 177 publications identified during the initial review, only 9 met the inclusion criteria. None of these papers developed models to compare readmission rates among hospitals or predicted patients' risk of readmission. The studies presented multivariable models that showed specific patient-level and/or process of care factors associated with readmission after stroke. Studies varied in their case definition of stroke, data source (VA, Medicare, administrative data, registries), outcomes (all-cause and/or stroke-related readmission), and follow-up period. There was little consistency of candidate variables across the studies, but more commonly included factors were age (n=8/9), sex (7), race (8), prior stroke (5), hypertension (5), diabetes (6), standardized stroke severity scale (3), other variables related to stroke severity (5), and length of stay (7). Five studies provided significance levels for covariates other than their primary predictor(s); however, few characteristics were consistently associated with readmission.
Conclusions:
The lack of risk-standardized models represents an important gap for ongoing efforts to profile hospitals through public reporting of performance measures.

Abstract
In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, neuropathy is a common adverse side effect to some antiretroviral treatments, particularly stavudine. As stavudine is cheap, it is widely used in Asia and Africa. We showed that increasing age and height moderately predict the development of neuropathy. This was improved by the inclusion of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-1031 (rs1799964). To investigate this association, Malay (n = 64), Chinese (n = 74) and Caucasian patients (n = 37) exposed to stavudine were screened for neuropathy. DNA samples were genotyped for polymorphisms in the central major histocompatibility complex (MHC) near TNF, and haplotypes were derived. The haplotype group FVa6,7,8 (incorporating TNF-1031) was found to be associated with neuropathy in Chinese patients in bivariate analyses (P = 0.03), and in Malays and Chinese in a multivariate analysis correcting for age and height (P = 0.02, P = 0.03, respectively). This trend was also confirmed in Caucasians.

Abstract
Pompe disease was named after the Dutch pathologist Dr JC Pompe who reported about a deceased infant with idiopathic hypertrophy of the heart. The clinical findings were failure to thrive, generalized muscle weakness and cardio-respiratory failure. The key pathologic finding was massive storage of glycogen in heart, skeletal muscle and many other tissues. The disease was classified as glycogen storage disease type II and decades later shown to be a lysosomal disorder caused by acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency. The clinical spectrum of Pompe disease appeared much broader than originally recognized. Adults with the same enzyme deficiency, alternatively named acid maltase deficiency, were reported to have slowly progressive skeletal muscle weakness and respiratory problems, but no cardiac involvement. The clinical heterogeneity is largely explained by the kind and severity of mutations in the acid alpha-glucosidase gene (GAA), but secondary factors, as yet unknown, have a substantial impact. The Pompe disease mutation database aims to list all GAA sequence variations and describe their effect. This update with 107 sequence variations (95 being novel) brings the number of published variations to 289, the number of non-pathogenic mutations to 67 and the number of proven pathogenic mutations to 197. Further, this article introduces a tool to rate the various mutations by severity, which will improve understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlation and facilitate the diagnosis and prognosis in Pompe disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pompe disease (acid maltase deficiency, glycogen storage disease type II; OMIM 232300) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency due to mutations in the GAA gene. Progressive skeletal muscle weakness affects motor and respiratory functions and is typical for all forms of Pompe disease. Cardiac hypertrophy is an additional fatal symptom in the classic infantile subtype. c.-32-13T-->G is the most common mutation in adults. OBJECTIVE To delineate the disease variation among patients with this mutation and to define the c.-32-13T-->G haplotypes in search for genotype-phenotype correlations. METHODS We studied 98 compound heterozygotes with a fully deleterious mutation (11 novel mutations are described) and the common c.-32-13T-->G mutation. RESULTS All patients were Caucasian. None had the classic infantile form of Pompe disease. The clinical course varied far more than anticipated (age at diagnosis <1 to 78 years; age at onset: <1 to 52 years). The acid alpha-glucosidase activities in a subset of patients ranged from 4 to 19.9 nmol/mg/h. Twelve different c.-32-13T-->G haplotypes were identified based on 17 single-nucleotide polymorphisms located in the GAA gene. In 76% of the cases, c.-32-13T-->G was encountered in the second most common GAA core haplotype (DHRGEVVT). In only one case was c.-32-13T-->G encountered in the major GAA core haplotype (DRHGEIVT). CONCLUSION Patients with the same c.-32-13T-->G haplotype (c.q. GAA genotype) may manifest first symptoms at different ages, indicating that secondary factors may substantially influence the clinical course of patients with this mutation.
