Abstract
Objectives Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected nearly half million people in Japan. However, information on the prolonged symptoms as well as laboratory and radiographic findings after hospital discharge remains limited. Methods We retrospectively collected the symptoms, laboratory test results, and chest imaging results of COVID-19 patients at the time of the hospital admission and the ambulatory visits after discharge at two university hospitals between July and December 2020. Patients A total of 126 COVID-19 patients, including of 88 with mild to moderate disease and 38 with severe to critical disease, were included. The time between symptom onset and the first outpatient visit was 46 days (Interquartile range, 39 to 55). Results At the ambulatory visits, 36.5% of patients had at least one symptom. The most frequent symptom was shortness of breath (12.8%), followed by cough (11.1%), and fatigue (8.8%). Of 120 patients with post-discharge laboratory test results, 27 patients (22.5%) had abnormal alanine aminotransferase levels, and 35 patients (29.1%) had lymphocytopenia, including 24 and 27 mild and moderate patients. Of 122 patients with post-discharge chest computed tomography (CT) scans, 105 (83.3%) had abnormal findings. This abnormality was found in both mild to moderate and severe patients. Conclusions Shortness of breath, abnormal liver function test results and chest CT images often persisted for at least one month after discharge, even when symptoms were mild or moderate during hospitalization.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is associated with an increased risk of complications for patients with AF. The impact of diabetes on post-operative AF after cardiac surgery is not well-defined.
Purpose
We sought to characterize the effect of diabetes, insulin, and oral hypoglycemic agents on the incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery. Accordingly, we conducted a secondary analysis of the Post-Surgical Enhanced Monitoring for Cardiac Arrhythmias and Atrial Fibrillation (SEARCH-AF) CardioLink-1 randomized trial.
Methods
In the SEARCH-AF trial, 336 patients with risk factors for stroke (CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2) and no history of preoperative AF were randomized to usual care or continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring for 30 days after discharge from cardiac surgery with a wearable, patched-based device. The primary outcome was occurrence of cumulative atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL) lasting for ≥6 minutes detected by continuous monitoring or AF/AFL documented by a 12-lead electrocardiogram within 30 days of randomization. We assessed the association between diabetes and occurrence of post-operative AF. In addition, we examined the association between POAF and glucose-lowering therapy among patients with diabetes.
Results
Among the 176 (52%) patients with diabetes in the study cohort, 80 (45%) patients were treated with at least 1 oral hypoglycemic agent and 44 (25%) patients were treated with insulin. The incidence of POAF occurring within 30 days after discharge from surgery was similar between patients with or without diabetes (cumulative incidence: 10.8% vs. 10.0%, log-rank p=0.77). Among patients with diabetes, the incidence of POAF was highest in those who were not treated with glucose-lowering therapy (17.3%) when compared with those treated with oral hypoglycemic agents (10.0%) or insulin (4.5%) (log-rank ptrend=0.045 among the 3 groups). In an exploratory analysis, we observed a trend suggesting a lower incidence of POAF among cardiac surgical patients who were treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors (log-rank ptrend=0.084).
Conclusion
The incidence of POAF occurring after discharge from cardiac surgery is equally high among patients with or without diabetes. Our results suggest a potential association between specific glucose-lowering therapies and risk of POAF after cardiac surgery, meriting further investigations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients undergoing valve surgery have a higher risk of developing post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) relative to those undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Whether this risk extends beyond hospital discharge is unknown.
Purpose
We examined the association between surgery type (isolated CABG vs. valve repair/replacement) on the incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) by conducting a secondary analysis of the Post-Surgical Enhanced Monitoring for Cardiac Arrhythmias and Atrial Fibrillation (SEARCH-AF) CardioLink-1 randomized trial.
Methods
In the SEARCH-AF trial, 336 patients with risk factors for stroke (CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2) and no history of preoperative AF were randomized to usual care or continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring for 30 days after discharge from cardiac surgery with a wearable, patched-based device. The primary outcome was occurrence of cumulative atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL) lasting for ≥6 minutes detected by continuous monitoring or AF/AFL documented by a 12-lead ECG within 30 days of randomization. We compared the risk of POAF between patients who underwent CABG vs. valve repair/replacement. Patients who experienced post-operative AF during hospitalization were excluded from this analysis.
Results
The overall cohort consisted of 255, 39, and 42 patients who underwent isolated CABG, isolated valve replacement/repair, and CABG + valve repair/replacement, respectively. Baseline characteristics were similar among the groups except for younger age (p=0.0014), higher prevalence of preoperative myocardial infarction (p=0.002) and lower ejection fraction (p=0.025) in the isolated CABG group. Eighteen patients experienced post-operative AF during hospitalization. Patients who underwent CABG + valve surgery or isolated valve surgery were more likely to experience post-operative AF compared with those who underwent isolated CABG (Log-Rank ptrend=0.0096). Among patients who were randomized to continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring, the probability of post-operative AF among patients who underwent isolated CABG, valve surgery, and CABG + valve surgery was 15.8%, 29.4%, and 35.0%, respectively (Log-Rank ptrend=0.017). After multivariable adjustment, the risk of developing post-operative AF within 30 days after discharge remained higher among patients who underwent valve surgery compared with those who underwent isolated CABG (hazard ratio (HR) 2.22, 95% CI 1.01–4.87. Patients who underwent CABG + repair/replacement had the highest risk of experiencing post-operative AF when compared to patients who underwent isolated CABG (HR 2.78, 95% CI 1.12–6.86).
Conclusion
Patients undergoing valve repair or bioprosthetic valve replacement have a substantial risk of post-operative AF within 30 days after discharge from surgery. An aggressive cardiac rhythm monitoring strategy during this vulnerable period should be considered for this high-risk patient population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although systematic reviews have shown how decision aids about cancer-related clinical decisions improve selection of key options and shared decision-making, whether or not particular decision aids, defined by their specific presentation formats, delivery methods and other attributes, can perform better than others in the context of cancer-screening decisions is uncertain. Therefore, we planned an overview to address this issue by using standard umbrella review methods to repurpose existing systematic reviews and their component comparative studies. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects from inception through 31 December 2021 with no language restriction and perform full-text evaluation of potentially relevant articles. We will include systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials or non-randomised studies of interventions that assessed a decision aid about cancer-screening decisions and compared it with an alternative tool or conventional management in healthy average-risk adults. Two reviewers will extract data and rate the study validity according to standard quality assessment measures. Our primary outcome will be intended and actual choice and adherence to selected options. The secondary outcomes will include attributes of the option-selection process, achieving shared decision-making and preference-linked psychosocial outcomes. We will qualitatively assess study, patient and intervention characteristics and outcomes. We will also take special care to investigate the presentation format, delivery methods and quality of the included decision aids and assess the degree to which the decision aid was delivered and used as intended. If appropriate, we will perform random-effects model meta-analyses to quantitatively synthesise the results. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval is not applicable as this is a secondary analysis of publicly available data. The review results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) has been validated to diagnose several viral infections. However, its diagnostic accuracy in detecting SARS-CoV-2 in real-life clinical settings remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of RT-LAMP compared to reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) over the disease course of COVID-19. METHODS A total of 124 nasopharyngeal swab samples obtained from 24 COVID-19 patients were tested by RT-LAMP and RT-qPCR. Sensitivities and specificities of RT-LAMP compared with RT-qPCR were analyzed as a function of time from onset. RESULTS Up to the 9th day after onset, the RT-LAMP had a positivity of 92.8%, and the sensitivity and specificity compared with RT-qPCR was 100%. However, after the 10th day after onset, the positivity of RT-LAMP decreased to less than 25%, and the concordance of positivity between the two methods was below 60%. The limit of detection of RT-LAMP was 6.7 copies/reaction. CONCLUSIONS Until the 9th day after the onset of symptoms, RT-LAMP had the same diagnostic accuracy as RT-qPCR. These findings suggest that RT-LAMP can be used as a diagnostic tool for COVID-19 as an alternative to RT-qPCR in the acute symptomatic phase of COVID-19.

Abstract
High levels of fructose induce hypertriglyceridemia, characterized by excessive levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL); however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of this short communication was to examine hepatic changes in the expression of genes related to cholesterol metabolism in rats with hypertriglyceridemia induced by high-fructose or high-glucose diets. Rats were fed a 65 % (w/w) glucose diet or a 65 % (w/w) fructose diet for 12 days. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and VLDL+LDL-cholesterol, hepatic levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, and ACAT2 expression at the gene and protein levels were significantly higher in the fructose diet group compared to the glucose diet group. The hepatic levels of Abcg5/8 were lower in the fructose group than in the glucose group. Serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and hepatic expression levels of Hmgcr, Ldlr, Acat1, Mttp, Apob, and Cyp7a1 did not differ significantly between groups. These findings suggest that high-fructose diet-induced hypertriglyceridemia is associated with increased hepatic ACAT2 expression.

Abstract
Emission source functions are extracted from correlation functions constructed from charged pions produced at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The source parameters extracted from these functions at low k(T) give first indications of a long tail for the pion emission source. The source extension cannot be explained solely by simple kinematic considerations. The possible role of a halo of secondary pions from resonance emissions is explored.

Abstract
Azimuthal correlations of jet-induced high-p(T) charged hadron pairs are studied at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The distribution of jet-associated partner hadrons (1.0<p(T)<2.5 GeV/c) per trigger hadron (2.5<p(T)<4.0 GeV/c) is found to vary with collision centrality, in both shape and yield, indicating a significant effect of the nuclear collision medium on the jet fragmentation process.

Abstract
Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of eta mesons have been measured within p(T) = 2-10 GeV/c at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment in Au + Au collisions at square root S(NN) = 200 GeV. In central Au+Au the eta yields are significantly suppressed compared to peripheral Au + Au, d + Au, and p + p yields scaled by the corresponding number of nucleon-nucleon collisions. The magnitude, centrality, and p(T) dependence of the suppression is common, within errors, for eta and pi0. The ratio of eta to pi0 spectra at high p(T) amounts to 0.40 < R(eta/pi)0 < 0.48 for the three systems, in agreement with the world average measured in hadronic and nuclear reactions and, at large scaled momentum, in e+e- collisions.

Abstract
The invariant differential cross section for inclusive electron production in p+p collisions at [FORMULA: SEE TEXT] has been measured by the PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider over the transverse momentum range 0.4<or=pT<OR=5.0 GeV/c in the central rapidity region ([FORMULA: SEE TEXT]). The contribution to the inclusive electron spectrum from semileptonic decays of hadrons carrying heavy flavor, i.e., charm quarks or, at high , bottom quarks, is determined via three independent methods. The resulting electron spectrum from heavy-flavor decays is compared to recent leading and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations. The total cross section of charm quark-antiquark pair production is determined to be [FORMULA: SEE TEXT].

Abstract
The azimuthal distribution of identified pi0 and inclusive photons has been measured in [FORMULA: SEE TEXT] Au+Au collisions with the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). The second-harmonic parameter (nu2) was measured to describe the observed anisotropy of the azimuthal distribution. The measured inclusive photon is consistent with the value expected for the photons from hadron decay and is also consistent with the lack of direct photon signal over the measured pT range 1-6 GeV/c. An attempt is made to extract nu2 of direct photons.

Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured midrapidity ([FORMULA: SEE TEXT]) transverse momentum spectra ([FORMULA: SEE TEXT]) of electrons as a function of centrality in Au+Au collisions at [FORMULA: SEE TEXT]. Contributions from photon conversions and from light hadron decays, mainly Dalitz decays of pi0 and eta mesons, were removed. The resulting nonphotonic electron spectra are primarily due to the semileptonic decays of hadrons carrying heavy quarks. Nuclear modification factors were determined by comparison to nonphotonic electrons in p+p collisions. A significant suppression of electrons at high pT is observed in central Au+Au collisions, indicating substantial energy loss of heavy quarks.

Abstract
Transverse single-spin asymmetries to probe the transverse-spin structure of the proton have been measured for neutral pions and nonidentified charged hadrons from polarized proton-proton collisions at midrapidity and square root(s) = 200 GeV. The data cover a transverse momentum (pT) range 1.0-5.0 GeV/c for neutral pions and 0.5-5.0 GeV/c for charged hadrons, at a Feynman-x value of approximately zero. The asymmetries seen in this previously unexplored kinematic region are consistent with zero within errors of a few percent. In addition, the inclusive charged hadron cross section at midrapidity from 0.5 < pT < 7.0 GeV/c is presented and compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD (pQCD) calculations. Successful description of the unpolarized cross section above approximately 2 GeV/c suggests that pQCD is applicable in the interpretation of the asymmetry results in the relevant kinematic range.

Abstract
New measurements are presented for charged hadron azimuthal correlations at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at (square root)s(NN) = 62.4 and 200 GeV. They are compared to earlier measurements obtained at (square root)s(NN) = 130 GeV and in Pb + Pb collisions at (square root)s(NN) = 17.2 GeV. Sizeable anisotropies are observed with centrality and transverse momentum (pT) dependence characteristic of elliptic flow (upsilon2). For a broad range of centralities, the observed magnitudes and trends of the differential anisotropy, upsilon2(pT), change very little over the collision energy range (square root)s(NN) = 62-200 GeV, indicating saturation of the excitation function for upsilon2 at these energies. Such a saturation may be indicative of the dominance of a very soft equation of state for (square root)s(NN) approximately 60-200 GeV.

Abstract
The first measurement of direct photons in Au + Au collisions at (square root)S(NN) = 200 GeV is presented. The direct photon signal is extracted as a function of the Au + Au collision centrality and compared to next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations. The direct photon yield is shown to scale with the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions for all centralities.

Abstract
The production of deuterons and antideuterons in the transverse momentum range 1.1<p(T)<4.3 GeV/c at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at square root of s(NN)=200 GeV has been studied by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. A coalescence analysis, comparing the deuteron and antideuteron spectra with that of proton and antiproton, has been performed. The coalescence probability is equal for both deuterons and antideuterons and it increases as a function of p(T), which is consistent with an expanding collision zone. Comparing (anti)proton yields, p /p=0.73+/-0.01, with (anti)deuteron yields, d /d=0.47+/-0.03, we estimate that n /n=0.64+/-0.04. The nucleon phase space density is estimated from the coalescence measurement.

Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured midrapidity transverse momentum spectra (0.4<p(T)<4.0 GeV/c) of single electrons as a function of centrality in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. Contributions from photon conversions and Dalitz decays of light neutral mesons are measured by introducing a thin (1.7% X0) converter into the PHENIX acceptance and are statistically removed. The subtracted nonphotonic electron spectra are primarily due to the semileptonic decays of hadrons containing heavy quarks, mainly charm at lower p(T). For all centralities, the charm production cross section is found to scale with the nuclear overlap function, T(AA). For minimum-bias collisions the charm cross section per binary collision is N(cc )/T(AA)=622+/-57(stat)+/-160(syst) microb.
