Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left ventricular dysfunction and ischaemic heart disease are common amongst women, however, women tend to present later and are less likely to receive guideline-directed medical therapy compared to their male counterparts.
Purpose
To investigate if a sex discrepancy exists for optimal medical therapy (OMT) and long-term mortality in a cohort of patients with known ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and left ventricular dysfunction.
Methods
We analysed prospectively collected data from a multicentre registry database collected between 2005–2018 on pharmacotherapy 30-days post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 13,015 patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%. OMT at 30-days was defined as beta-blocker (BB), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEi/ARB) ± mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA). Long-term mortality was determined by linkage with the National Death Index, with median follow up of 4.7 (IQR 2.0–8.6) years.
Results
Mean age was 65±12 years; women represented 20.2% (2,634) of the cohort. Women were on average 5 years older, had higher average BMI, higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, renal dysfunction, prior stroke and rheumatoid arthritis. Men were more likely to have sleep apnoea, be current/ex-smokers and to have had prior myocardial infarction, PCI and bypass surgery. Overall, 72.3% (9,411) of patients were on OMT, which was similar between sexes (72.7% in women vs. 72.2% in men, p=0.58). Rates of BB therapy were similar between sexes (85.2% vs. 84.5%, p=0.38), while women were less likely to be on an ACEi/ARB (80.4% vs. 82.4%, p=0.02) and more likely to be on a MRA (12.1% vs. 10.0%, p=0.003). Amongst those with LVEF ≤35% (n=1,652), BB (88.7% vs. 87.3%, p=0.46), ACEi/ARB (83.3% vs. 82.1%, p=0.59) and MRA use (32.5% vs. 33.3%, p=0.78) was comparable. Aspirin use was similar between sexes (95.3% vs. 95.9%, p=0.12), while women were less likely to be on statin therapy (93.5% vs. 95.3%, p<0.001) and a second antiplatelet agent (94.4% vs. 95.6%, p=0.007). On unadjusted analysis women had significantly higher long-term mortality of 25.4% compared to 19.0% for men (p<0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis out to 14 years demonstrated that men on OMT have the best long-term survival overall and women on sub-OMT have significantly poorer outcomes compared to men on sub-OMT. However, after adjusting for OMT and other comorbidities there was no difference in long-term mortality between sexes (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.87–1.14, p=0.94).
Conclusion
From this large multicentre registry, we found similar rates of guideline-directed pharmacotherapy for left ventricular dysfunction between sexes, however women were less likely to be on appropriate IHD secondary prevention. The increased unadjusted long-term mortality amongst women is likely due to differing baseline risk, given that adjusted mortality was similar between sexes.

Abstract
A relative humidity sensor based on a graphene oxide-coated few-mode fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is proposed in this paper. The MZI was made by splicing a segment of the few-mode fiber (FMF) between two segments of a no-core fiber (NCF) and two segments of a single mode fiber (SMF) located outside the two NCFs. The core and cladding of the FMF acted as interferometric arms, while the NCFs acted as couplers for splitting and recombining light due to mismatch of mode field diameter. The cladding of the FMF was corroded with hydrofluoric acid, and a layer of graphene oxide (GO) film was coated on the corroded cladding of FMF via the natural deposition method. The refractive index of GO varied upon absorption the water molecules. As a result, the phase difference of the MZI varied and the wavelength of the resonant dip shifted with a change in the ambient relative humidity (RH). High humidity sensitivity of 0.191 and 0.061 nm/%RH in the RH range of 30-55% and 55-95%, respectively, were achieved experimentally. The high sensitivity, compact size, and simple manufacturing of the proposed sensor could offer attractive applications in fields of chemical sensors and biochemical detection.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Are melatonin receptors (melatonin receptor 1A (MR1A) and melatonin receptor 1B (MR1B)) expressed in human endometrium and endometriotic tissue, and does melatonin affect endometrial cell proliferation? SUMMARY ANSWER Melatonin receptors are expressed in human eutopic endometrium, endometriomas and peritoneal lesions, although to different extents, and melatonin treatment attenuated estradiol-induced endometrial epithelial cell proliferation in culture. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Melatonin decreased endometriotic lesion volume in a rat model of endometriosis. Melatonin treatment reduced pain scores in and analgesic use by women with endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Basic science study using human endometrial tissue and an endometrial epithelial cell line. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Measurement of melatonin receptor expression (mRNA and protein) in women with surgically confirmed endometriosis (endometrioma (n = 20) or peritoneal lesion (n = 11) alone) and women without surgical evidence of endometriosis (control, n = 15). Collection of endometrial and endometriotic tissue samples, gynecologic history and demographic information. Quantification of estradiol (1.0 nM) and melatonin (0.1 nM-1.0 μM) ± estradiol-induced endometrial epithelial cell proliferation in cultures of endometrial epithelial cells (CRL-1671) following 24 and 48 hours of culture. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE MR1A and MR1B were localized by immunohistochemistry in glandular epithelial cells of endometrial biopsies from women with and without endometriosis. Both receptors were expressed in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissue. mRNA expression of MR1A and MR1B was significantly greater in peritoneal lesions than in either endometriomas or eutopic endometrium. However, protein expression of MR1A was decreased in peritoneal lesions compared to control eutopic endometrium, whereas MR1B expression did not differ between the groups. Melatonin (0.1 nM-1.0 μM) treatment inhibited estradiol (1.0 nM)-induced endometrial epithelial cell proliferation at 48 hours but not 24 hours of culture. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Beneficial effects of melatonin seen in culture have yet to be comprehensively evaluated in women with endometriosis. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Our data suggest that melatonin may be useful as an adjunct to current endometriosis treatments.

Abstract
As a newly epidemic, 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) with a concentrated outbreak poses a great challenge to medical treatment. The severe and critical patients are complex complicatied with the psychological problems, and the medical staff are overworked and under tremendous psychological pressure. The surgeon participated in emergency medical rescue could provide professional treatment for the patients combined with surgical diseases, as well as specialized training for the non-surgeon crew, to reduce surgical-related mortality. With the advantages of good team consciousness, strong aseptic concept and good psychological quality, the surgeons can quickly adapt to and carry out rescue work under the premise of good self-protection. Surgeons need to develop critical care management concepts and focus on the critical care support equipment. Some suggestions are put forward for the standardized training of resident surgeons to cultivate compound talents. It is hoped that this article can lead to the thinking of how to participate in the emergency medical rescue of infectious diseases among surgeons and provide some enlightenment for future surgical education.

Abstract
Background:Sleep problems are common in rheumatology patients. RAPID3 is a patient reported outcome measure (PROM) that efficiently screens for problems with sleep, anxiety or depression in routine care.Objectives:To study prevalence and determinants of self-reported sleep problems across rheumatic diseases in Rheumatology clinics in Singapore, and its correlation with disease indices.Methods:RAPID3 questionnaire was filled electronically over 6 months. Demographic data and SNOWMED diagnoses codes were matched through hospital electronic medical records. RAPID3 comprised of 3 questions measuring the extent of difficulty getting a good night’s sleep and dealing with anxiety or depression. Significant problems were considered if they had “much difficulty” or were “unable to do” the component. The relationship of sleep with anxiety, depression, physical function (measured by modified health assessment questionnaire, mdHAQ), pain and patient global assessment (using visual analogue scale, VAS), was evaluated using Pearson’s correlation. Factors associated with significant sleep problems were evaluated by logistic regression.Results:4078 patients [mean (SD) age 55.8 (16.3) years, 67.9% female, 70.6% Chinese] were invited to participate, of which 2625 (64.4%) responded. SNOMED diagnosis codes were available for 1570 (59.8%) patients- majority had inflammatory arthritides (n= 843, 53.7%) (Figure 1).Mean mdHAQ was 0.3 (0.5), pain VAS was 2.4 (2.3) and global VAS was 2.6 (2.2). Data on disease duration, clinical features and medications were not available. 39.3%, 27.5% and 23.8% had problems with sleep, anxiety and depression respectively; and 7.3%, 4.5% and 4.3% had significant problems respectively. Sleep moderately correlated with anxiety (r=0.463, p<0.001) and depression (r=0.436, p<0.001) and weakly correlated with mdHAQ (r= 0.289, p<0.001), global (r=0.339, p<0.001) and pain VAS (r= 0.314, p<0.001).In multivariable logistic regression, significant sleep problems were associated with anxiety (OR 4.733, CI 2.172-10.310, p<0.001), mdHAQ score ≥ 1 (OR 2.920, CI 1.691-5.043, p< 0.001) and pain VAS >3 (OR 1.884, CI 1.093-3.247, p=0.023). Patients with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia were more likely than those with inflammatory arthritides to have significant sleep problems, though we were unable to adjust for body mass index as data were unavailable (Table 1).Table 1.Determinants of significant disturbances in sleep in patients with rheumatic diseasesVariablesUnivariableMultivariableOdds ratio (95% CI)p-valueOdds ratio (95% CI)p-valueGenderFemale1.79 (1.245-2.57)0.0021.49 (0.86-2.59)0.16EthnicityChineseRefRefMalay1.04 (0.62-1.73)0.890.73 (0.33-1.61)0.43Indian1.59 (1.03-2.44)0.040.97 (0.49-1.90)0.92Others1.05 (0.62-1.77)0.870.92 (0.43-2.00)0.84Age (years)1.00 (1.00-1.01)0.36--mdHAQ ≥16.25 (4.46-8.75)<0.0012.92 (1.69-5.04)0.001Pain VAS >34.15 (3.07-5.61)<0.0011.88 (1.09-3.25)0.02Global VAS > 34.25 (3.13-5.76)<0.0011.63 (0.95-2.80)0.07Significant anxiety15.99 (10.71- 23.89)<0.0014.73 (2.17-10.31)<0.001Significant depression15.58 (10.35-23.45)<0.0013.02 (1.29-7.10)0.11Primary rheuma-tological diagnosisInflammatory arthritidesRefRefConnective tissue diseases1.18 (0.73-1.90)0.510.9 (0.51-1.59)0.71Crystal arthritides1.06 (0.48-2.33)0.880.83 (0.34-2.03)0.68Osteoarthritis3.09 (1.31-7.32)0.012.96 (1.19-7.36)0.02Fibromyalgia9.05 (2.04-40.05)0.0049.62 (2.11-43.84)0.003Others1.63 (0.82-3.29)0.171.20 (0.58-2.47)0.63Conclusion:Sleep problems are common in rheumatology patients and correlate significantly with disease indices and psychological distress.

Abstract
This article reports the data required for planning attenuation-based X-ray characterisation e.g. X-ray computed tomography (CT), of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cathodes. The data reported here is to accompany a co-submitted manuscript (10.1016/j.matdes.2020.108585 [1]) which compares two well-known X-ray attenuation data sources: Henke et al. and Hubbell et al., and applies methodology reported by Reiter et al. to extend this data towards the practical characterisation of prominent cathode materials. This data may be used to extend beyond the analysis reported in the accompanying manuscript, and may aid in the applications for other materials, not limited to Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Summary Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a primary complement factor deficiency, characterized by recurrent submucosal/subcutaneous swelling episodes. SERPING1 gene defects encoding C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) are responsible from the disease. Fifteen patients with HAE are retrospectively evaluated in this study. All patients (n = 15) had HAE type I, 13 were from the same family, other two from two different families. Median age at onset of symptoms was 7 years (2-20); median age on diagnosis, 12 (0,5-41) and median delay in diagnosis, 3 years (0-33). Clinical symptoms were extremity edema(92,3%), facial edema(46%), abdominal pain (46%), genital edema (46%), and laryngeal edema (23%). Some patients suffered from recurrent abdominal pain, had been empirically given colchicine with familial mediterranean fever (FMF) when they admitted. One presented with bullous skin eruption, soon after developed extremity edema. Both resolved spontaneously after C1INH concentrate therapy. Two females suffered from recurrent genital edema after sexual activity. One patient experienced compartment syndrome-like swelling of extremity after playing football. One patient diagnosed with panic attack due to fear of death by asphyxiation, and was diagnosed with HAE disease. A nonsense mutation in exon 8, a missense mutation in exon 2 in SERPING1 gene was present in Family 1 and another patient (P14) from the other family, respectively. Sporadic/autosomal dominant inheritance ratio was 2/3 in the families present in our series. Patients with HAE presents with a large spectrum of symptoms. In mediterranean countries, patients with abdominal attacks may be misdiagnosed with FMF. Thus, health-care professionals should be alert, and put HAE in the first line of differential diagnoses when the disease symptoms are present. Consequently, morbidity/mortality will decrease with effective treatment options.

Abstract
A 71-year old retired missionary presented with a 2- week history of increasing dyspnoea, orthopnoea, and peripheral oedema. The patient had no previous significant past medical history. On clinical examination, his heart sounds were dual and his jugular venous pressure was elevated to 7cm. On chest auscultation there were bilateral crepitations at his lung bases.
