Abstract
This experiment investigated the effects of feeding low and high supplies of vitamin A (VA) during the transition period on plasma metabolites, prevalence of ketosis, and early milk production. In a randomized complete block design, 42 prefresh Holstein cows and 21 heifers were blocked by parity and calving date and assigned to 1 of 3 dietary treatments (n = 21 per treatment unless noted): CON, a transition diet with supplemental VA (75,000 IU/d) to meet the requirement; LVA, a transition diet with no supplemental VA; or HVA, a transition diet receiving supplemental VA (187,500 IU/d) 2.5 times greater than the requirement. Experimental periods were prepartum (-14 d prepartum), postpartum (1 to 30 d in milk), and carryover period (31 to 58 d in milk; common lactating diet with adequate VA was fed). Differences in dry matter intake in the pre- and postpartum periods and milk yield were not detected among treatment. Milk fat, protein, and lactose yields were similar among treatments and not affected by VA. Somatic cell count increased linearly with increasing VA. Body weight and body condition score decreased postpartum, but no VA effect was observed. Plasma retinol concentrations (n = 10 per treatment) decreased at d 2 postpartum and increased as lactation progressed, but the concentrations were unaffected by treatment. Plasma β-carotene (n = 10 per treatment) had a treatment by time interaction and its concentration decreased after parturition and remained low for 2 wk. Plasma fatty acids and β-hydroxybutyrate did not differ among treatments. Milk retinol concentration and yield (n = 10 per treatment) increased as VA supply increased. Segmented neutrophils (%) decreased, and lymphocytes (%) increased in blood with increasing VA supply. In conclusion, providing different supplies of VA did not affect production, mobilization of body fat, and risk of ketosis; however, excessive VA supply may have negatively affected the immune response, in part contributing to increased milk somatic cell counts during early lactation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipedema exhibits excessive lower-extremity subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) deposition, which is frequently misidentified as obesity until lymphedema presents. MR lymphangiography may have relevance to distinguish lipedema from obesity or lymphedema. HYPOTHESIS Hyperintensity profiles on 3T MR lymphangiography can identify distinct features consistent with SAT edema in participants with lipedema. STUDY TYPE Prospective cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Participants (48 females, matched for age [mean = 44.8 years]) with lipedema (n = 14), lipedema with lymphedema (LWL, n = 12), cancer treatment-related lymphedema (lymphedema, n = 8), and controls without these conditions (n = 14). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3T MR lymphangiography (nontracer 3D turbo-spin-echo). ASSESSMENT Review of lymphangiograms in lower extremities by three radiologists was performed independently. Spatial patterns of hyperintense signal within the SAT were scored for extravascular (focal, diffuse, or not apparent) and vascular (linear, dilated, or not apparent) image features. STATISTICAL TESTS Interreader reliability was computed using Fleiss Kappa. Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate the proportion of image features between study groups. Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between image features and study groups. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of SAT extravascular and vascular features was reported in groups compared to lipedema. The threshold of statistical significance was P < 0.05. RESULTS Reliable agreement was demonstrated between three independent, blinded reviewers (P < 0.001). The frequency of SAT hyperintensities in participants with lipedema (36% focal, 36% diffuse), LWL (42% focal, 33% diffuse), lymphedema (62% focal, 38% diffuse), and controls (43% focal, 0% diffuse) was significantly distinct. Compared with lipedema, SAT hyperintensities were less frequent in controls (focal: OR = 0.63, CI = 0.11-3.41; diffuse: OR = 0.05, CI = 0.00-1.27), similar in LWL (focal: OR = 1.29, CI = 0.19-8.89; diffuse: OR = 1.05, CI = 0.15-7.61), and more frequent in lymphedema (focal: OR = 9.00, CI = 0.30-274.12; diffuse: OR = 5.73, CI = 0.18-186.84). DATA CONCLUSION Noninvasive MR lymphangiography identifies distinct signal patterns indicating SAT edema and lymphatic load in participants with lipedema. EVIDENCE LEVEL 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.

Abstract
Anaemia is a common sequela of surgery, although its relationship with patient recovery is unclear. The goal of this investigation was to assess the associations between haemoglobin concentrations at the time of hospital discharge following major surgery and early post-hospitalisation outcomes, with a primary outcome of 30 day unanticipated hospital readmissions. This investigation includes data from two independent population-based observational cohorts of adult surgical patients (aged ≥ 18 years) requiring postoperative intensive care unit admission between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019 in hospitals in Olmsted County, Minnesota, and between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2017 in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California integrated healthcare system, California. Cox proportional hazards models assessed the associations between discharge haemoglobin concentrations (per 10 g.l-1 ) and outcomes, with prespecified multivariable adjustment. A total of 3260 patients were included from Olmsted County hospitals and 29,452 from Kaiser Permanente Northern California. In adjusted analyses, each 10 g.l-1 decrease in haemoglobin at hospital discharge was associated with a 9% (hazard ratio 1.09, 95%CI 1.02-1.18; p = 0.014) and 8% increase (hazard ratio 1.08, 95%CI 1.06-1.11; p < 0.001) in the hazard for readmission within 30 days in Olmsted County and Kaiser Permanente Northern California, respectively. In a sensitivity analysis exploring relationships across varying levels of pre-operative anaemia severity, these associations remained consistent, with lower discharge haemoglobin concentrations associated with higher readmissions irrespective of pre-operative anaemia severity. Anaemia at hospital discharge in surgical patients requiring postoperative intensive care is associated with increased rates of hospital readmission in two large independent cohorts. Future studies are necessary to evaluate strategies to prevent and/or treat anaemia in these patients for the improvement of post-hospitalisation outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiomyopathy affecting 1 in 200–500 people in the US. It is characterized by a diverse clinical course, and only a subset of patients with HCM experience major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) such as arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation [VT/VF], atrial fibrillation [AF]), stroke, and heart failure. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the presence of MACE in HCM are still not well understood.
Purpose
Our aim was to reveal signaling pathways associated with prior MACE in patients with HCM by applying plasma proteomics profiling.
Methods
We conducted a multicenter case-control study of patients with HCM comparing those with and without a prior history of MACE. We performed plasma proteomics profiling of 5032 proteins. We defined prior MACE as a composite outcome of sustained VT/VF, AF, stroke/transient ischemic attack, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤50%, New York Heart Association functional class ≥2 symptoms, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy. We applied the random forest method to derive a proteomics-based discrimination model developed in patients enrolled at one institution (training set) and externally validated the model on patients enrolled at another institution (test set). We then performed pathway analysis of proteins differentially regulated in patients with prior MACE. Pathways with a false discovery rate (FDR) <0.05 with at least 5 associated proteins were declared positive.
Results
A total of 396 patients were included, with 278 in the training set and 118 in the test set. In this cohort, 251 (63%) patients had prior MACE (171 in the training set and 80 in the test set). Using the proteomics-based model derived from the training set, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.81 (95% CI 0.73–0.88) in the test set (Figure 1). There were 632 differentially expressed proteins (univariable p<0.05). Pathway analysis identified significantly dysregulated pathways in patients with prior MACE (Figure 2). This included both pathways known to be associated with MACE (e.g., TGF-β [FDR=0.03]) and novel pathways (e.g., Ras-MAPK [FDR=0.01] and its upstream PI3K-Akt [FDR=7.7x10–7] pathways). Pathways involved in cellular metabolism/proliferation (e.g., HIF 1 [FDR=0.01] and Wnt [FDR=0.04] pathways) and inflammation (e.g., complement and coagulation cascades [FDR=2.7x10–21], cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction [FDR=8.1x10–16]) were also significantly dysregulated.
Conclusions
Our study in patients with HCM reveals that those with a prior history of MACE have a distinctive plasma proteomics profile. We further identified both previously known and novel pathways dysregulated in this subset with a more severe form of HCM. Our findings may aid in development of targeted therapies for the prevention of MACE in HCM.

Abstract
Background: Moyamoya is a progressive intracranial vasculopathy, primarily affecting distal segments of the internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries. Treatment may comprise angiogenesis-inducing surgical revascularization, however lack of randomized trials often results in subjective treatment decisions. Hypothesis: Compensatory pre-surgical posterior vertebrobasilar (VBA) flow-territory reactivity, including greater cerebrovascular reactivity and reduced vascular delay time, portends greater neoangiogenic response verified on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) at one-year follow-up. Study Type: Prospective intervention cohort. Subjects: 31 patients with moyamoya (26 female; age=45±13 years; 41 revascularized hemispheres). Methods: Anatomical MRI, hypercapnic cerebrovascular reactivity MRI, and DSA acquired pre-surgically in adult moyamoya participants scheduled for clinically-indicated surgical revascularization. One year post-surgery, DSA was repeated to evaluate collateralization. Field Strength: 3 Tesla. Sequence: Hypercapnic T 2*-weighted gradient-echo blood-oxygenation-level-dependent, T 2-weighted turbo-spin-echo fluid-attenuated-inversion-recovery, T 1-weighted magnetization-prepared-rapid-gradient-echo, and T 2-weighted diffusion-weighted imaging. Assessment: Pre-surgical maximum cerebrovascular reactivity and response times were evaluated in VBA flow-territories. Revascularization success was determined using an ordinal scoring system of neoangiogenic collateralization from post-surgical DSA by two cerebrovascular neurosurgeons (RVC; experience=8 years; MRF, experience=9 years) and one neuroradiologist (LTD, experience=8 years). Stroke risk factors (age, sex, race, vasculopathy, and diabetes) were recorded. Statistical Tests: Fisher’s exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were applied to compare pre-surgical variables between cohorts with angiographically-confirmed good (>1/3 MCA territory revascularized) vs. poor (<1/3 MCA territory revascularized) outcomes. Significance: two-sided p<0.05. Normalized odds ratios (OR) were calculated. Results: Criteria for good collateralization were met in 25 of 41 revascularized hemispheres. Pre-surgical normalized VBA flow-territory cerebrovascular reactivity was significantly higher in those with good (1.12±0.13 unitless) vs. poor (1.04±0.05 unitless) outcomes. Younger (OR=−0.60±0.67) and White (OR=−1.81±1.40) participants had highest revascularization success (good outcomes: age=42±14 years, race=84% White; poor outcomes: age=49±11 years, race=44% White). Data Conclusion: Pre-surgical MRI-measures of VBA flow-territory cerebrovascular reactivity are highest in moyamoya participants with better angiographic responses to surgical revascularization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incisional hernias cause morbidity and may require further surgery. HART (Hughes Abdominal Repair Trial) assessed the effect of an alternative suture method on the incidence of incisional hernia following colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS A pragmatic multicentre single-blind RCT allocated patients undergoing midline incision for colorectal cancer to either Hughes closure (double far-near-near-far sutures of 1 nylon suture at 2-cm intervals along the fascia combined with conventional mass closure) or the surgeon's standard closure. The primary outcome was the incidence of incisional hernia at 1 year assessed by clinical examination. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed. RESULTS Between August 2014 and February 2018, 802 patients were randomized to either Hughes closure (401) or the standard mass closure group (401). At 1 year after surgery, 672 patients (83.7 per cent) were included in the primary outcome analysis; 50 of 339 patients (14.8 per cent) in the Hughes group and 57 of 333 (17.1 per cent) in the standard closure group had incisional hernia (OR 0.84, 95 per cent c.i. 0.55 to 1.27; P = 0.402). At 2 years, 78 patients (28.7 per cent) in the Hughes repair group and 84 (31.8 per cent) in the standard closure group had incisional hernia (OR 0.86, 0.59 to 1.25; P = 0.429). Adverse events were similar in the two groups, apart from the rate of surgical-site infection, which was higher in the Hughes group (13.2 versus 7.7 per cent; OR 1.82, 1.14 to 2.91; P = 0.011). CONCLUSION The incidence of incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery is high. There was no statistical difference in incidence between Hughes closure and mass closure at 1 or 2 years.

Abstract
Background and AimsCurrent diagnostic criteria for TIA/minor stroke disqualify several atypical clinical presentations, but pre-date DWI-MRI use. We investigated the proportion of DWI-positive patients with atypical presentations, identifying clinical factors predicting DWI positivity.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients with suspected TIA/minor stroke (NIHSS<5) undergoing MRI at our comprehensive stroke centre from March 2020-February 2021. We identified pre- dictors of DWI positivity using logistic regression.ResultsOf 1615 patients, 442 DWI-positive, 39% had atypical presentations including 20% with progres- sive symptom onset. Atypical symptoms common in DWI-positive patients included headache(17%), unsteadiness(15%), positive sensory symptoms(11%), presyncope(10%), confusion(9%) and vertigo(8%). Symptoms independently associated with DWI-positivity included weakness(OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.01-1.67), dysarthria(OR 2.06, CI 1.56-2.70), and ataxia (OR 3.75, CI 2.27-6.20). Fluctuating symptoms(22%) predicted DWI positivity(OR 1.37, CI 1.00-1.81), but sudden onset(80%) did not (OR 1.05, CI 0.80-1.38). Risk factors associated with DWI positivity included increasing age(OR 1.01/year, CI 1.01-1.02), hypertension (OR 1.70, CI 1.30-2.22), diabetes(OR 1.44, CI 1.07-1.93), and smoking(OR 1.68, CI 1.19-2.39). DWI-positive patients had significantly more risk factors (mean 2.65 vs 1.95 p=<0.001).ConclusionsOver one-third with DWI-confirmed TIA/minor stroke present atypically. The value of atypical symptoms in excluding ischaemia, particularly in patients with vascular risk factors, appears limited.

Effects of corn distillers grains with yeast bodies and manipulation of dietary cation and anion difference on production, nutrient digestibility, and gas emissions from manure in lactating cows.

Abstract
In a randomized complete block design, 40 lactating Holstein cows (average 98 d in milk and 41 kg/d of milk yield) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 diets: (1) containing soybean meal as the major protein supplement (CON diet); (2) CON diet with high-protein dried corn distillers grains at 20% on a dry matter (DM) basis by replacing mainly soybean meal (DG diet); (3) DG diet except that high-protein dried corn distillers grains with yeast bodies (extracted after corn ethanol production) was used (DGY diet); or (4) DG diet supplemented with sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate to elevate the dietary cation and anion difference (DCAD; DG-DCAD diet). The DCAD of CON, DG, DGY, and DG-DCAD were 185, 62, 67, and 187 mEq/kg of DM, respectively. The experiment began with a 10-d covariate period and then cows were fed the experimental diets for 5 wk (2-wk diet adaptation and 3-wk data collection periods). Dry matter intake and milk yield were measured daily, and spot urine and fecal samples were collected in the last week of the experiment to measure nutrient digestibility; N, S, and P utilization and excretion; and in vitro NH3 and H2S emissions from manure. All data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS (random effect: block; fixed effects: diets, repeated week, and interactions). During data collection, DM intake was not different among treatment groups, but milk yield tended to be lower (42.4 vs. 39.9 kg/d) for DG, DGY, and DG-DCAD versus CON, which could have been caused by decreases in organic matter and neutral detergent fiber digestibility. Milk protein yield tended to be lower (1.33 vs. 1.24 kg/d) for DG, DGY, and DG-DCAD versus CON. Milk fat yield was lower (1.26 vs. 1.55 kg/d) for DG and DGY versus CON, but that for DG-DCAD (1.43 kg/d) did not differ from CON. Similarly, energy-corrected milk was lower (38.0 vs. 43.3 kg/d) for cows on DG and DGY versus those on CON, but it did not differ between DG-DCAD (40.7 kg/d) and CON. Urinary and fecal N excretion were greater for DG, DGY, and DG-DCAD compared with CON due to greater dietary crude protein content and N intake. However, NH3 emissions did not differ across treatments. Intakes of dietary P and S were greater for DG, DGY, and DG-DCAD, resulting in greater excretion of those in manure and greater H2S emissions from manure compared with CON. These data suggest that the negative effects of feeding distillers grains on production of lactating cows can be partly explained by a decrease in nutrient digestibility (milk yield) and excessive anion load (milk fat). The milk fat response to DG-DCAD suggests that milk fat depression observed with a diet with high content of distillers grains can be partially alleviated by supplementation of cations. In the current study, we observed no beneficial effects of DG containing yeast bodies.
