Abstract
Abstract
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are a rare pathology that can be clinically silent during years and/or become suddenly symptomatic. We described 3 cases with different clinical presentation, complications and surgical treatment.
A 26-year-old male, competitive cyclist was admitted with a 1.5 month history of fatigue, palpitations, and nocturnal cough and sweating. At physical examination he was apyretic, blood pressure 157/49mmHg and radial pulse 96 bpm; jugular vein engorgement and continuous heart murmur, were noticed. Blood samples only revealed a mild raised BNP. EKG showed sinus tachycardia and right intraventricular conduction delay and the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed high velocity systolic-diastolic shunt (image) between a non-dilated right coronary sinus (RCS) and the right atrium (RA); moderate left ventricle dilation, severe right atrium and mild right ventricle enlargement with mild pulmonary hypertension and normal biventricular systolic function. He was referred to angioCT that showed a large communication between a non-dilated RCS and RA with signs of right ventricular overload. He was submitted to surgery, where ruptured aneurysm sac was found. Fistula closure, aneurysm sac suture and tricuspid annuloplasty were performed.
A 45-year-old male asymptomatic, with no relevant medical background went to a Cardiology consultation after detection of a holossistolic murmur in the physical exam. EKG showed sinus rhythm arrhythmia with a nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay and the TTE revealed a communication between a dilated noncoronary sinus (NCS) and RA; the biventricular systolic function was normal. He was referred to angioCT which confirmed the diagnosis. He was submitted to surgery where an exeresis and closure of the fistula was performed.
A 38-year-old male with no relevant medical background was admitted to emergence room for an intermittent anterior thoracic pain radiating to the neck (2 days of evolution). The EKG showed sinus tachycardia, incomplete right bundle branch block and the high-sensitivity troponin assays were negative. The TTE revealed severe sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, particularly of the NCS with mild aortic regurgitation. The patient performed transesophageal echocardiography and angioCT which excluded an acute aortic syndrome. He was oriented to surgery where a contained rupture of the RCS and a non-visualization of the ostium right coronary artery were detected, suggesting an intimal dissection. The patient was submitted to Bentall procedure and a bypass with internal mammary artery to right coronary artery.
In spite of the unclear etiology, all the cases had a good clinical and echocardiographic evolution at follow-up. The difficulty in making a timely diagnosis is related to the variability of clinical presentation and the need of high clinical suspicion. Echocardiography and angioTC have demonstrated its value, in providing a prompt diagnosis and appropriate management guidance.

Abstract
Equine endurance competitions are long races over 1-2 days and horses can be eliminated in international competitions by FEI veterinarians for lameness at any time. Elimination rates due to lameness are high, affect the outcome of the races and commonly elicit objections to the decision from endurance competitors. The aims of this study were: (1) to assess the opinion of FEI official endurance veterinarians (OEVs) about the challenges in assessing lameness; (2) the occurrence of confrontations with riders when horses are eliminated from races due to lameness; (3) to assess OEVs’ thoughts about the adoption of user-friendly technology for objective gait evaluation to help detect, quantify and document lameness. All FEI OEVs were asked to complete a questionnaire. There were 157 responses, being most of the respondents from Europe (56.1%) or the Middle East (16.6%). For the majority of respondents, detection of lameness was considered challenging, even for experienced and well-trained veterinarians (57.3%). OEVs also considered it was often hard to classify horses as lame or sound (65.8%). Handlers not trotting the horse appropriately during gait evaluations was considered the most common problem compromising the evaluation (94.3%). Most OEVs (98.2%) responded that they had been confronted at least once by a rider or associate about the decision to eliminate a horse due to lameness. Most OEVs (71.3%) would be interested in having the support of user-friendly technology for objective gait evaluation (33.3% for all evaluations; 38.0% only when horses have more subtle gait abnormalities). The findings of this survey suggest that technology to objectively detect and quantify gait abnormalities during endurance competitions would be beneficial to support decisions made by OEVs when evaluating and or eliminating horses for lameness.

Abstract
Abstract
Three food types were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella by the AOAC culture method and by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 6579:2002) culture method. Paired test portions of each food type were simultaneously analyzed by both methods. A total of 21 laboratories representing federal government agencies and private industry, in the United States and Europe, participated in this interlaboratory study. Foods were artificially contaminated with Salmonella and competing microflora if naturally contaminated sources were not available. No statistical differences (p < 0.05) were observed between the AOAC and ISO culture methods for fresh cheese and dried egg products. A statistically significant difference was observed for one of the 2 lots of poultry from the first trial. The poultry meat used in this run was radiation sterilized, artificially contaminated with Salmonella and competitive flora, and then lyophilized. A second trial was conducted with 2 separate lots of raw ground chicken that were naturally contaminated. The results from the second trial showed no statistical difference between the 2 culture methods. A third trial involving 4 laboratories was conducted on 2 separate lots of naturally contaminated raw poultry. Again, no statistically significant differences occurred. It is recommended that ISO 6579:2002 culture method for Salmonella be adopted Official First Action for the analysis of fresh cheese, fresh chilled and frozen poultry, and dried egg products.

Abstract
We describe an ancestry-informative autosomal SNP multiplex designed to be a small-scale, flexible panel that can complement uniparental markers in assessing the American variability (i.e. pre-Colombian) found in contemporary indigenous American populations. This study centered on choosing SNPs with the specific characteristics of: 1) extreme allele frequency differences between indigenous Americans and the African, European and East Asian population groups that contribute to present-day population variation in the Americas; 2) high informativeness-for-assignment In values; and 3) well-spaced genomic distribution and chromosomal separation from existing small-scale forensic ancestry marker sets. The resulting capillary electrophoresis SNaPshot single base extension test was named: PIMA (Population Informative Multiplex for the Americas), comprising 26 autosomal SNPs, a single X-chromosome SNP plus the amelogenin sex marker adapted for SNaPshot. PIMA complements the established 34plex forensic ancestry panel to provide a powerful and simple tool for the analysis of American populations, including those with admixed histories, commonly encountered in America. Comparing the results obtained with the combined marker panels of PIMA and 34plex to SNP data from a much larger ancestry panel allowed us to gauge their relative efficiency. PIMA+34plex gives equivalent power to the 314-SNP 'LACE' genomic ancestry control panel, while requiring a much smaller genotyping effort. The ancestry profiles and genetic structure of 22 populations spread across the American continent were estimated using PIMA+34plex data, and those estimates were contrasted with information provided by uniparental markers (mtDNA and Y-chromosome loci) for a small set of admixed individuals from Venezuela. Our results indicate that an American genetic component is efficiently detected in contemporary American populations using a small set of ancestry informative SNPs, and these co-ancestry estimates are consistent with the known history and demography of the Americas. The small scale and high population differentiation power of PIMA, particularly when combined with 34plex, provides a practical and powerful tool for genetic studies of American populations as well as forensic DNA analyses.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The Relevance 2050 Initiative’s Student Pipeline Subcommittee and the Board Certification Promotion Committee of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology, in collaboration with the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology, produced the first installment of a free webinar series to promote early education on board certification (BC) in clinical neuropsychology. A pre-webinar survey was given to inform future webinar topics and initiatives, including identification of specific barriers/concerns about BC.
Method
A total of 197 respondents completed the survey and self-identified as White (61%), Asian (16%), Hispanic (11%), African American (6%) and Multiracial (6%). Respondents’ demographics, type of doctoral program, program accreditation status, level of interest in pursuing BC, and specific barriers/concerns about BC were collected. Respondents self-identified with the following diverse groups: first-generation college student (19% White, 38% Asian, 18% Hispanic, 16% African American, 41% Multiracial), low SES (8% White, 6% Asian, 36% Hispanic, 33% African American, 33% Multiracial) and sexual gender minority (6% White, 6% Asian, 9% Hispanic, 43% Multiracial).
Outcomes
Qualitative data analysis of barriers/concerns identified the following themes: money, time, knowledge about BC, training flexibility, breadth of knowledge, training/mentor opportunities, international issues, and documentation. The top three barriers included training/mentor opportunities, training flexibility, and knowledge about BC. More than half of non-White trainees (60%; χ2 = 3.864, p = .049) endorsed training/mentor opportunities as a barrier relative to White trainees (41%), particularly among Hispanic trainees (82%) relative to other minority trainees.
Discussion
Results highlight the need to increase awareness and information about the BC. Also suggested is prioritization of resources for training/mentor opportunities, particularly for minority trainees.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Grafting is an intensive commercial practice required to protect the European grapevine against the Phylloxera pest. Rootstocks resistant to this pest are hybrids of American vine species with different levels of compatibility with European Vitis vinifera varieties. Aiming to understand what drives grafting compatibility in grapevine, a transcriptomic approach was used to search for master regulators of graft success. Two scion/rootstock combinations, with different levels of compatibility, were compared in a nursery-grafting context at two stages, at 21 and 80 days after grafting. RESULTS In the most compatible combination, an earlier and higher expression of genes signaling the metabolic and hormonal pathways as well as a reduced expression of genes of the phenolic metabolism and of the oxidative stress response was observed. At 80 days after grafting a higher expression of transcription factors regulating vascular maintenance, differentiation and proliferation was obtained in the most compatible combination. Moreover, lower expression levels of microRNAs potentially targeting important transcription factors related to plant development was observed in the more compatible combination when compared to the less compatible one. CONCLUSION In this context, a set of regulators was selected as potential expression markers for early prediction of a compatible grafting.

Abstract
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic autosomal codominant disorder caused by mutations in SERPINA1 gene. It is one of the most prevalent genetic disorders, although it remains underdiagnosed. Whereas at international level there are several areas of consensus on this disorder, in Portugal, inter-hospital heterogeneity in clinical practice and resources available have been adding difficulties in reaching a diagnosis and in making therapeutic decisions in this group of patients. This raised a need to draft a document expressing a national consensus for AATD. To this end, a group of experts in this field was created within the Portuguese Pulmonology Society - Study group on AATD, in order to elaborate the current manuscript. The authors reviewed the existing literature and provide here general guidance and extensive recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AATD that can be adopted by Portuguese clinicians from different areas of Medicine. This article is part of a supplement entitled "Portuguese consensus document for the management of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency" which is sponsored by Sociedade Portuguesa de Pneumologia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies show the importance of accurately quantifying not only KRAS and other low-abundant mutations because benefits of anti-EGFR therapies may depend on certain sensitivity thresholds. We assessed whether ultra-selection of patients using a high-sensitive digital PCR (dPCR) to determine KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA status can improve clinical outcomes of panitumumab plus FOLFIRI. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a single-arm phase II trial that analysed 38 KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA hotspots in tumour tissues of irinotecan-resistant metastatic colorectal cancer patients who received panitumumab plus FOLFIRI until disease progression or early withdrawal. Mutation profiles were identified by nanofluidic dPCR and correlated with clinical outcomes (ORR, overall response rate; PFS, progression-free survival; OS, overall survival) using cut-offs from 0% to 5%. A quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis was also performed. RESULTS Seventy-two evaluable patients were enrolled. RAS (KRAS/NRAS) mutations were detected in 23 (32%) patients and RAS/BRAF mutations in 25 (35%) by dPCR, while they were detected in 7 (10%) and 11 (15%) patients, respectively, by qPCR. PIK3CA mutations were not considered in the analyses as they were only detected in 2 (3%) patients by dPCR and in 1 (1%) patient by qPCR. The use of different dPCR cut-offs for RAS (KRAS/NRAS) and RAS/BRAF analyses translated into differential clinical outcomes. The highest ORR, PFS and OS in wild-type patients with their lowest values in patients with mutations were achieved with a 5% cut-off. We observed similar outcomes in RAS/BRAF wild-type and mutant patients defined by qPCR. CONCLUSIONS High-sensitive dPCR accurately identified patients with KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA mutations. The optimal RAS/BRAF mutational cut-off for outcome prediction is 5%, which explains that the predictive performance of qPCR was not improved by dPCR. The biological and clinical implications of low-frequent mutated alleles warrant further investigations. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV NUMBER NCT01704703. EUDRACT NUMBER 2012-001955-38.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the leading cause of death in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). We provide the management and prognosis of cSCC in RDEB patients at a Spanish reference center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively included patients with RDEB attended in La Paz University Hospital from November 1988 to October 2018. RESULTS Fourteen patients developed at least one cSCC. Tumors were predominantly well differentiated. Nearly half of the tumors have recurred. Median time to first recurrence was 23.4 months (95% CI: 17.2-29.5). Five patients have developed distant metastases. Median overall survival (mOS) was 136.5 months since the diagnosis of the first cSCC (95% CI: 30.6-242.3). When distant metastases occurred, mOS was 6.78 months (95% CI: 1.94-11.61). CONCLUSIONS cSCC is a life-threatening complication of RDEB patients. Although tumors are usually well differentiated, they tend to relapse. This is the first Spanish report of cSCC arising in RDEB patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), an autosomal dominant late-onset polyglutamine ataxia that results from an unstable expansion of a CAG tract in the ATXN3 gene. The size of the CAG tract only partially explains age at onset (AO), highlighting the existence of disease modifiers. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups have been associated with clinical presentation in other polyglutamine disorders, constituting potential modifiers of MJD phenotype. METHODS A cross-sectional study, using 235 unrelated patients from Portugal, Brazil, India and Japan, was performed to investigate if mtDNA haplogroups contribute to AO of MJD. mtDNA haplogroups were obtained after sequencing the mtDNA hypervariable region I. Patients were classified in 15 phylogenetically related haplogroup clusters. RESULTS The AO was significantly different among populations, implying the existence of other non-CAG factors, which seem to be population specific. In the Portuguese population, patients classified as belonging to haplogroup JT presented the earliest onset (estimated onset 34.6 years of age). Haplogroups W and X seem to have a protective effect, causing a delay in onset (estimated onset 47 years of age). No significant association between haplogroup clusters and AO was detected in the other populations or when all patients were pooled. Although haplogroup JT has already been implicated in other neurodegenerative disorders, no previous reports of an association between haplogroups W and X and disease were found. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that haplogroups JT, W and X modify AO in MJD. Replication studies should be performed in European populations, where the frequency of the candidate modifiers is similar.

Abstract
Article 25 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (adopted in Nice on 7 December 2000) recognizes and respects the rights of older people to lead a life of dignity and independence and to participate in social and cultural life. It also highlights the importance of prevention and recognition of elder abuse, especially since exposure to violence is likely as the population ages, either in familial or in institutional settings. Elder abuse has some issues in common with child abuse but in spite of this fact currently is less recognized. Health professionals have a major role to play in early detection and management of cases of elder abuse. This protocol summarizes some key concepts and approaches to assist in the timely detection and investigation of elder abuse cases by healthcare professionals and forensic practitioners.

Abstract
If the seemingly less invasive semi-flexible pleuroscopes are combined with strategies of conscious sedation and local anesthesia the pleuroscopy has the potential to reach an increasing number of hospital settings. Local experiences can provide valuable information pertaining to the reproducibility of this technique in different scenarios. We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical records of all patients that had undergone local anesthetic semi-flexible pleuroscopy in our unit between February 2015 and July 2017. Data on demographics, previous biochemical, cytological and histopathological analysis, procedure details, diagnostic and therapeutic results, complications and mortality were collected from all patients. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v23. A total of 30 patients were included. They were mainly male (66.7%), with a median age of 72 years (minimum 19 years, maximum 87 years). All presented with exudative pleural effusions and the exam was performed for diagnostic reasons. Pleural tissue was obtained in all patients and the overall diagnostic accuracy was 93.3%. Malignancy was the chief group of diagnosis (66.7%), followed by pleural tuberculosis (13.3%). The procedure was well tolerated and self-limited subcutaneous emphysema was the only complication registered (13.3%). No deaths were associated with the procedure. Our results globally overlap those of wider series and reinforce the perception that local anesthetic semi-flexible pleuroscopy is a well-tolerated, safe and highly accurate diagnostic and therapeutic tool which has proved to be both feasible and effective in our experience.

Abstract
Background Preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical mesorectal resection is the standard of care for locally advanced rectal carcinomas. Yet, predicting that patients will respond to treatment remains an unmet clinical challenge. Experimental design Using laser-capture microdissection we isolated RNA from stroma and tumour glands from prospective pre-treatment samples (n = 15). Transcriptomic profiles were obtained hybridising PrimeView Affymetrix arrays. We modelled a carcinoma-associated fibroblast-specific genes filtering data using GSE39396. Results The analysis of differentially expressed genes of stroma/tumour glands from responder and non-responder patients shows that most changes were associated with the stromal compartment; codifying mainly for extracellular matrix and ribosomal components. We built a carcinoma-associated fibroblast (CAF) specific classifier with genes showing changes in expression according to the tumour regression grade (FN1, COL3A1, COL1A1, MMP2 and IGFBP5). We assessed these five genes at the protein level by means of immunohistochemical staining in a patient's cohort (n = 38). For predictive purposes we used a leave-one-out cross-validated model with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 83.3%. Random Forest identified FN1 and COL3A1 as the best predictors. Rebuilding the leave-one-out cross-validated regression model improved the classification performance with a PPV of 93.3%. An independent cohort was used for classifier validation (n = 36), achieving a PPV of 88.2%. In a multivariate analysis, the two-protein classifier proved to be the only independent predictor of response. Conclusion We developed a two-protein immunohistochemical classifier that performs well at predicting the non-response to neoadjuvant treatment in rectal cancer.

Abstract
Plants developed receptors for solar UV-A/B radiation, which regulate a complex network of functions through the plant's life cycle. However, greenhouse grown crops, like tomato, are exposed to strongly reduced UV radiation, contrarily to their open-field counterparts. A new paradigm of modern horticulture is to supplement adequate levels of UV to greenhouse cultures, inducing a positive mild stress necessary to stimulate oxidative stress pathways and antioxidant mechanisms. Protected cultures of Solanum (cv MicroTom) were supplemented with moderate UV-A (1h and 4h) and UV-B (1min and 5min) doses during the flowering/fruiting period. After 30days, flowering/fruit ripening synchronization were enhanced, paralleled by the upregulation of blue/UV-A and UV-B receptors' genes cry1a and uvr8. UV-B caused moreover an increase in the expression of hy5, of HY5 repressor cop1 and of a repressor of COP1, uvr8. While all UV-A/B conditions increased SOD activity, increases of the generated H2O2, as well as lipid peroxidation and cell mebrane disruption, were minimal. However, the activity of antioxidant enzymes downstream from SOD (CAT, APX, GPX) was not significant. These results suggest that the major antioxidant pathways involve phenylpropanoid compounds, which also have an important role in UV screening. This hypothesis was confirmed by the increase of phenolic compounds and by the upregulation of chs and fls, coding for CHS and FLS enzymes involved in the phenylpropanoid synthesis. Overall, all doses of UV-A or UV-B were beneficial to flowering/fruiting but lower UV-A/B doses induced lower redox disorders and were more effective in the fruiting process/synchronization. Considering the benefits observed on flowering/fruiting, with minimal impacts in the vegetative part, we demonstrate that both UV-A/B could be used in protected tomato horticulture systems.

Abstract
Background Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a potential source for tumor genome analysis. We explored the concordance between the mutational status of RAS in tumor tissue and ctDNA in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients to establish eligibility for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy. Patients and methods A prospective-retrospective cohort study was carried out. Tumor tissue from 146 mCRC patients was tested for RAS status with standard of care (SoC) PCR techniques, and Digital PCR (BEAMing) was used both in plasma and tumor tissue. Results ctDNA BEAMing RAS testing showed 89.7% agreement with SoC (Kappa index 0.80; 95% CI 0.71 − 0.90) and BEAMing in tissue showed 90.9% agreement with SoC (Kappa index 0.83; 95% CI 0.74 − 0.92). Fifteen cases (10.3%) showed discordant tissue-plasma results. ctDNA analysis identified nine cases of low frequency RAS mutations that were not detected in tissue, possibly due to technical sensitivity or heterogeneity. In six cases, RAS mutations were not detected in plasma, potentially explained by low tumor burden or ctDNA shedding. Prediction of treatment benefit in patients receiving anti-EGFR plus irinotecan in second- or third-line was equivalent if tested with SoC PCR and ctDNA. Forty-eight percent of the patients showed mutant allele fractions in plasma below 1%. Conclusions Plasma RAS determination showed high overall agreement and captured a mCRC population responsive to anti-EGFR therapy with the same predictive level as SoC tissue testing. The feasibility and practicality of ctDNA analysis may translate into an alternative tool for anti-EGFR treatment selection.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-6- /- mice develop mature onset obesity, whereas i.c.v. injection of IL-6 decreases obesity in rodents. Moreover, levels of IL-6 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were reported to be inversely correlated with obesity in humans. Tanycytes lining the base of the third ventricle (3V) in the hypothalamus have recently been reported to be of importance for metabolism. In the present study, we investigated whether tanycytes could respond to IL-6 in the CSF. With immunohistochemistry using a well characterised antibody directed against the ligand binding receptor for IL-6, IL-6 receptor α (IL-6Rα), it was found that tanycytes, identified by the two markers, vimentin and dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein of 32 kDa, contained IL-6Rα. There were fewer IL-6Rα on another type of ventricle-lining cells, ependymal cells, as identified by the marker glucose transporter-1. To demonstrate that the immunoreactive IL-6Rα were responsive to IL-6, we injected IL-6 i.c.v. This treatment increased immunoreactive phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (pSTAT3) in tanycytes after 5 minutes and in cells in the medial part of the arcuate nucleus after 5 and 15 minutes. Intracerebroventricular injection of leptin exerted similar effects. As expected, i.p. injection of leptin also induced pSTAT3 staining in the hypothalamus, whereas i.p. IL-6 injection had little effect on this parameter. Intracerebroventricular or i.p. injection of vehicle only had no effect on pSTAT3-immunoreactivity. In summary, there are functional IL-6Rα on tanycytes at the bottom of the 3V, in agreement with the possibility that ventricular administration of IL-6 decreases obesity in mice via an effect on this cell type.
