Abstract
In the last few decades, much effort has been made for the production of squeezed vacuum states in order to reduce quantum noise in the audio-frequency band. This technique has been implemented in all running gravitational-wave interferometric detectors and helped to improve their sensitivity. While the detectors are acquiring data for astrophysical observations, they must be kept in the operating condition, also called "science mode," that is, a state that requires the highest possible duty-cycle for all the instrumental parts and controls. We report the development of a highly automated setup for the generation of optical squeezed states, where all the required control loops are supervised by a software based on finite state machines; we took special care to grant ease of use, stability of operation, and possibility of auto-recovery. Moreover, the setup has been designed to be compatible with the existing software and hardware infrastructure of the Virgo detector. In this paper, we discuss the optical properties of this squeezing setup, the locking techniques, and the automation algorithms.

Background
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has been increasingly recognized in elderly patients with aortic stenosis (AS), but with uncertain prognostic significance.
Objectives
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify whether concurrent CA portends excess mortality in patients with aortic stenosis AS.
Methods
Our systematic review of the literature published through June 2020, sought observational studies reporting summary-level outcome data of all-cause mortality in AS patients with or without concurrent CA. Pooled estimate of Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause death was assessed as the primary endpoint. We performed subgroup analysis stratified by severity of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and study-level meta-regression analysis to explore the effect of covariates on summary effect size and to address statistical heterogeneity.
Results
We identified 4 studies including 609 AS patients (9% AS-CA; 69% men; age, 84 ± 5 years). The average follow-up was 20 ± 5 months. Compared with lone AS, AS-CA was associated with 2-fold increase in all-cause mortality (pooled OR: 2.30; 95% CI: 1.02-5.18; I2 = 62%). When analysed according to LVH severity, pooled ORs (95% CI) for all-cause mortality were 1.29 (0.65-2.22) for mild LVH (≤16 mm), and 4.81 (2.19-10.56) for moderate/severe LVH (>16 mm). Meta-regression analysis confirmed a stronger relationship proportional to the degree of LVH, regardless of age and aortic valve replacement, explaining between-study heterogeneity variance.
Conclusions
CA heralds significantly higher risk of all-cause death in elderly patients with AS. Severity of LVH appears to be a major prognostic determinant in patients with dual AS-CA pathology.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a variant of cardiovascular autonomic disorder occurring predominantly in young women. POTS is characterized by an excessive heart rate increase when assuming upright posture accompanied by symptoms of orthostatic intolerance. The pathophysiology of POTS has not been fully established and is believed to be multifactorial.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the alterations in circulating growth hormone level in POTS.
Methods
We conducted an age-matched case-control study enrolling 42 patients with POTS (age 31±9 years; 36 women) verified by positive head-up tilt testing and cardiovascular autonomic tests, and 46 controls (32±9 years; 35 women) with negative active standing test and no history of syncope, orthostatic intolerance and endocrine disease. We measured plasma levels of growth hormone using a high-sensitivity chemiluminescence immunoassay in relation to presence of POTS diagnosis. All study participants completed the validated Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ), consisting of two components: the symptoms assessment scale (OHSA) and daily activity scale (OHDAS) to evaluate the burden of symptoms. We applied standard statistical tests for group differences. Growth hormone values were log-transformed and standardized before the group comparison.
Results
POTS patients had significantly lower plasma levels of growth hormone (ng/mL) (median=0.53, IQR, 0.10–2.83 vs. median=2.33, IQR, 0.26–7.2, p=0.04) than controls. Levels of growth hormone were reversely related to OHDAS (p=0.049) among POTS patients. Supine heart rate was significantly higher in POTS patients (69.0±11.1 beats/min vs. 63.3±10.8 beats/min, p=0.02), as well as diastolic blood pressure (72.9±9.1 mmHg vs. 69.0±8.5 mmHg, p=0.04). We observed no significant difference in supine systolic blood pressure (116.6±13.3 mmHg vs. 115.2±10.0 mmHg, p=0.60). POTS patients had a significantly higher composite OHQ score than controls (60.0±18.6 vs. 4.2±7.5, p<0.001), as well as OHSA (36.2±10.0 vs. 3.6±6.4, p<0.001) and OHDAS (23.8±9.7 vs. 0.6±1.3, p<0.001).
Conclusion(s)
Our study shows that patients with POTS have significantly reduced plasma levels of circulating growth hormone. Lower growth hormone levels among POTS patients are associated with increased impairment of daily life activities. Further studies are necessary to confirm our findings in the independent populations and explain the mechanisms behind this alteration.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objectives
In atrial fibrillation (AF), assessment of thromboembolic and bleeding risks are recommended to prescribe anticoagulation for stroke prevention. However, AF also increases mortality, and predictors of death are less characterized than predictors for stroke. We investigated the predictive power for mortality of the CHA2DS2-VASc, the HAS-BLED score and their combination.
Methods
Individual patient data were analyzed from the PREvention oF thromboembolic events-European Registry in Atrial Fibrillation (PREFER AF), a prospective real-world registry with a 12-month follow-up, with a total of 7243 patients enrolled from 461 hospitals and 7 European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and United Kingdom). Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship of the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores, and their combinations with outcome events, including mortality, at one year. The predictive ability of the scores was analyzed by comparing c-statistics.
Results
The study sample consisted of 5,209 AF patients with complete information on both scores. Mean age was 71.8±10.46 years; 3145 subjects (60.4%) were male. Events rate of stroke/SEE and major bleeding at one-year were 2.3% (122 patients) and 2.9% (149 patients), respectively. At one year, 3.1% of patients died (160 out of 5,209). Both scores had broadly similar c-statistics; for CHA2DS2-VASc: 0.637, 0.656 and 0.616 for models predicting mortality, SSE and major bleeding, respectively; for HAS-BLED: 0.620, 0.647, and 0.627, respectively. When including the individual components of both scores separately, c-statistics increased to 0.715, 0.694 and 0.636 with CHA2DS2-VASc, and to 0.681, 0.697 and 0.680 with HAS-BLED. The predictive power with both scores combined, removing overlapping components, was higher, with a c-statistic of 0.74, 0.73 and 0.70 for mortality (Table), SSE and major bleeding, respectively.
Conclusion
Both the CHA2DS2-VASc and the HAS-BLED score predict mortality similarly in AF, and a combination of the score components increases prediction significantly. Such combination may thus be clinically useful.

Abstract
The quantum radiation pressure and the quantum shot noise in laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors constitute a macroscopic manifestation of the Heisenberg inequality. If quantum shot noise can be easily observed, the observation of quantum radiation pressure noise has been elusive, so far, due to the technical noise competing with quantum effects. Here, we discuss the evidence of quantum radiation pressure noise in the Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detector. In our experiment, we inject squeezed vacuum states of light into the interferometer in order to manipulate the quantum backaction on the 42 kg mirrors and observe the corresponding quantum noise driven displacement at frequencies between 30 and 70 Hz. The experimental data, obtained in various interferometer configurations, is tested against the Advanced Virgo detector quantum noise model which confirmed the measured magnitude of quantum radiation pressure noise.

GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of 150 M_{⊙}. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2020; 125:101102.

Abstract
On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio of 14.7, and an estimated false-alarm rate of 1 in 4900 yr using a search sensitive to generic transients. If GW190521 is from a quasicircular binary inspiral, then the detected signal is consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses of 85_{-14}^{+21} M_{⊙} and 66_{-18}^{+17} M_{⊙} (90% credible intervals). We infer that the primary black hole mass lies within the gap produced by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova processes, with only a 0.32% probability of being below 65 M_{⊙}. We calculate the mass of the remnant to be 142_{-16}^{+28} M_{⊙}, which can be considered an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH). The luminosity distance of the source is 5.3_{-2.6}^{+2.4} Gpc, corresponding to a redshift of 0.82_{-0.34}^{+0.28}. The inferred rate of mergers similar to GW190521 is 0.13_{-0.11}^{+0.30} Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current trends show a rise of attention given to breast cancer patients' quality of life and the surgical reconstructive result. Along with this trend, surgical training quality and efficacy are gaining importance and innovative training methods such as online videos shared on social media portals, are becoming main updating tools. In hazardous times like COVID-19 pandemic nowadays, online communication becomes of vital importance and adaptation and innovation are fundamental to keep research and education alive. The authors aimed to investigate the role of video and multimedia sources on the daily activity and surgical training of a representative group of surgeons specifically dedicated to oncologic, oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS A survey was produced and administered to 20 major Italian Breast Centers. Collected data were analyzed with Fisher's Exact Test. RESULTS From October 2019 to March 2020, a total of 320 surveys were collected. Among the responders, there were 188 trainees (intern medical doctors and residents) and 110 faculty, 72% of them belonged to a plastic surgery environment, while 28% to general surgery environment. Almost all respondents have ever watched videos concerning breast surgery. CONCLUSIONS The results of the study show how breast surgeons rely on videos and web platforms, mostly YouTube, when searching for training info about surgical procedures. Social media offer great opportunities for sharing knowledge and diffusion of new ideas but greater attention to their reliability is mandatory.

Abstract
Background:The association between systemic autoimmune diseases (ADs) and lymphoproliferative malignancies is well established; nonetheless, few studies have investigated the prevalence and prognostic impact of myeloid malignancies on systemic autoimmune conditions.Objectives:To investigate the frequency of myeloid malignancies (i.e myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and chronic, either Philadelphia-positive or Philadelphia-negative, myeloproliferative disorders (MPNs)) in patients with ADs and their influence on the ADs clinical course and vice-versa.Methods:A retrospective systematic search through the electronic health records of the patients admitted at our Rheumatology University Hospital from 2009 and 2019 was performed to select those presenting with ADs and MDS or MPNs. To refine the search the ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes for MDS/MPNs were utilized. Medical charts of eligible patients were retrieved and data were collected with regard to demographics, type of AD, AD duration, prior treatments, serum laboratory indices, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy data. Categorical variables were compared using chi square test and Fisher’s test; continuous variables were compared using Student’s t-test. A 2-tailed value of p <0.05 was taken to indicate statistical significance.Results:Out of the medical records of 5040 patients, we identified 51 patients (31 F: 20 M, mean age: 61 years (15)) with AD and myeloid malignancies: 17/51 with AD and MDS and 34/51 with AD and MPNs. No demographic differences were observed in the two subgroups. Regarding MDS, anaemia was the most common haematologic presenting finding (15/17, 88%), while the most common diagnosis was refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB I/II) (5/17, 29%) followed by sideroblastic anemia (2/17, 12%). In the MPNs subgroup, 12/34 patients (35%) had a diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 9/34 (26%) had a myelofibrosis (MF), 7/34 (21%) had an essential thrombocythemia (ET) and 6/34 (18%) had a polycythemia vera (PV). The JAK2 V617F mutation was detected in 100%, 57%, and 66% of PV, ET, and MF patients. Regarding the temporal appearance of myeloid malignancy, MDS occurred concurrently (9/17) or followed (7/17) the diagnosis of ADs in the vast majority of the cases whereas MPNs generally preceded the diagnosis of ADs (19/34). In MDS the most commonly diagnosed ADs were seronegative arthritis (5/17, 29 %), large and small vessel vasculitis (4/17, 23%) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (3/17, 17%). In patients with MPNs the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (2/9, 22%), and antiphospholipid syndrome (3/9, 33%) were often associated with MF, whereas anti-Ro52 (TRIM21) positive systemic connective tissue disorders (4/7, 57%) were more frequently detected in ET. Cardiovascular events were observed in 14/51 (27%): 4/17 (23%) in MDS, 3/12 (25%) in CML and 7/22 (32%) in Philadelphia-negative MPNs. The latter seven cardiovascular events were all observed in patients presenting JAK2 V617F mutation (p=0.05).Conclusion:Our study is limited by its retrospective design. However, our results documented that the frequency of MDS and MPNs in ADs is not negligible and might be considered in the assessment of cardiovascular risk in systemic autoimmunity. Moreover, it has been reported that, under viral infection, TRIM21 is up-regulated by activation of the IFN/JAK/STAT pathway; interestingly, anti-Ro52 (TRIM21) were over-represented in MPN, where the JAK/STAT signal is hyper activated. This could explain also our observation that frequently the onset of ADs follows the diagnosis of MPN.Disclosure of Interests:Francesco Ferro: None declared, Claudia Baratè Speakers bureau: paid as a speaker by Jansen, Abbvie, Novartis, Amgen, Elena Elefante: None declared, Federica Ricci: None declared, Serena Balducci: None declared, Gianmaria Governato: None declared, Giovanni Fulvio: None declared, Marta Mosca: None declared, Mario Petrini Speakers bureau: paid as a speaker by Jansen, Abbvie, Novartis, Amgen, Sara galimberti Speakers bureau: paid as a speaker by Jansen, Abbvie, Novartis, Amgen, Chiara Baldini: None declared

High circulating levels of midregional proenkephalin A predict vascular dementia: a population-based prospective study. Sci Rep 2020; 10:8027. [PMID: 32415209 PMCID: PMC7229155 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64998-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2018] [Accepted: 04/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Midregional Pro-enkephalin A (MR-PENK A) and N-terminal Protachykinin A (NT-PTA) have been associated with vascular dementia. However, the longitudinal relationship between these biomarkers and incident dementia has not been fully investigated. In the population-based Malmö Preventive Project, circulating levels of MR-PENK A and NT-PTA were determined in a random sample of 5,323 study participants (mean age: 69 ± 6 years) who were followed-up over a period of 4.6 ± 1.6 years. The study sample included 369 patients (7%) who were diagnosed in the same period with dementia. We analyzed relationship of MR-PENK A and NT-PTA with the risk of developing dementia by using multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models adjusted for traditional risk factors. Increased plasma levels of MR-PENK A were associated with higher risk of incident vascular dementia whereas no associations were found with all-cause or Alzheimer dementia. The risk of vascular dementia was mainly conferred by the highest quartile of MR-PENK as compared with lower quartiles. Elevated levels of NT-PTA yielded significant association with all-cause dementia or dementia subtypes. Elevated plasma concentration of MR-PENK A independently predicts vascular dementia in the general population. MR-PENK A may be used as an additional tool for identifying vascular subtype in ambiguous dementia cases.

Abstract
Factors that are most associated with positive lymph node status in melanoma are Breslow thickness and ulceration. However, there are other factors that have been little explored and could help in the identification of "at risk patients" harbouring occult metastasis. The objective of this study was to determine whether intensity of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in a cohort study (N = 4133) is an independent predictor of sentinel lymph node (SLN) status in patients with primary cutaneous melanoma. Of the patients with cutaneous melanoma who resulted negative for nodal metastasis, 50.7% had moderate/marked TILs versus 27.7% among those patients who resulted positive for nodal metastasis. In the multivariate analysis, controlling for sex, age, mitotic rate, ulceration and Breslow, high levels of TILs in primary invasive melanoma was associated with a lower risk of developing SLN metastasis (OR 0.46; 95% CI 0.23-0.95, p = 0.037). When the analysis was stratified by sex, the protective effect of moderate/marked TIL remained only for women (OR 0.30; 95% CI 0.10-0.93, p = 0.037) but not for men (OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.19-1.34, p = 0.172). Other independent predictors of negative lymph node were low Breslow thickness (≤ 2.0 mm) and low mitotic rate. Besides predicting a negative lymph node response, TILs were also associated with a decreased risk of 10-year mortality among females with positive lymph node. Our findings suggest that high level of TILs is an independent predictor of negative SLN status among women. Further research is warranted to confirm our findings.

Prospects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA. LIVING REVIEWS IN RELATIVITY 2020; 23:3. [PMID: 33015351 PMCID: PMC7520625 DOI: 10.1007/s41114-020-00026-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years, with the intention of providing information to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We estimate the sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals for the third (O3), fourth (O4) and fifth observing (O5) runs, including the planned upgrades of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. We study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source for gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary systems of compact objects, that is binary neutron star, neutron star-black hole, and binary black hole systems. The ability to localize the sources is given as a sky-area probability, luminosity distance, and comoving volume. The median sky localization area (90% credible region) is expected to be a few hundreds of square degrees for all types of binary systems during O3 with the Advanced LIGO and Virgo (HLV) network. The median sky localization area will improve to a few tens of square degrees during O4 with the Advanced LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA (HLVK) network. During O3, the median localization volume (90% credible region) is expected to be on the order of 10 5 , 10 6 , 10 7 Mpc 3 for binary neutron star, neutron star-black hole, and binary black hole systems, respectively. The localization volume in O4 is expected to be about a factor two smaller than in O3. We predict a detection count of 1 - 1 + 12 ( 10 - 10 + 52 ) for binary neutron star mergers, of 0 - 0 + 19 ( 1 - 1 + 91 ) for neutron star-black hole mergers, and 17 - 11 + 22 ( 79 - 44 + 89 ) for binary black hole mergers in a one-calendar-year observing run of the HLV network during O3 (HLVK network during O4). We evaluate sensitivity and localization expectations for unmodeled signal searches, including the search for intermediate mass black hole binary mergers.

Abstract
Current interferometric gravitational-wave detectors are limited by quantum noise over a wide range of their measurement bandwidth. One method to overcome the quantum limit is the injection of squeezed vacuum states of light into the interferometer's dark port. Here, we report on the successful application of this quantum technology to improve the shot noise limited sensitivity of the Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detector. A sensitivity enhancement of up to 3.2±0.1 dB beyond the shot noise limit is achieved. This nonclassical improvement corresponds to a 5%-8% increase of the binary neutron star horizon. The squeezing injection was fully automated and over the first 5 months of the third joint LIGO-Virgo observation run O3 squeezing was applied for more than 99% of the science time. During this period several gravitational-wave candidates have been recorded.

Abstract
PURPOSE The importance of nursing competence arises from its central role in influencing and determining care outcomes. The employment of adequately educated staff, able to base clinical decisions on the best scientific evidence, is one of the components required for delivering high quality nursing care in the oncological field. The aim of this study is to analyze - through the Nurse Competence Scale - the level of competence of nurses working in oncological settings. METHOD A descriptive study was performed between March and September 2017. The participants were recruited among the nursing staff working in the Day Hospital and the Units of the IRCCS -Regina Elena National Cancer Institute in Rome. The confidentiality and the anonymity of the subjects involved in the study were guaranteed by submitting a socio-cultural data sheet -specifically designed to collect demographic and education data - and the Nurse Competence Scale. RESULTS The sample included 65 nurses (93%) and 5 head nurses (7%), with a mean age of 41.8 years, predominantly female (80%), who had been working in oncology units for a mean of 17.2 years. The Nurse Competence Scale showed a high level of competence in all dimensions. Moreover, the Chi-Square test allowed to identify the presence of significant associations between the different dimensions of the Nurse Competence Scale and the work experience >15 years and the age > 40 years. CONCLUSIONS The results of our study show that, even if lacking specific oncology competence, nurses working in oncology care settings have developed a good level of clinical competences. Highlighting the importance of nursing care in the oncology area will increase the demand of both patients and organizations of high quality nursing care, consequently enhancing the nursing profession.

Abstract
We present a search for subsolar mass ultracompact objects in data obtained during Advanced LIGO's second observing run. In contrast to a previous search of Advanced LIGO data from the first observing run, this search includes the effects of component spin on the gravitational waveform. We identify no viable gravitational-wave candidates consistent with subsolar mass ultracompact binaries with at least one component between 0.2 M_{⊙}-1.0 M_{⊙}. We use the null result to constrain the binary merger rate of (0.2 M_{⊙}, 0.2 M_{⊙}) binaries to be less than 3.7×10^{5} Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1} and the binary merger rate of (1.0 M_{⊙}, 1.0 M_{⊙}) binaries to be less than 5.2×10^{3} Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}. Subsolar mass ultracompact objects are not expected to form via known stellar evolution channels, though it has been suggested that primordial density fluctuations or particle dark matter with cooling mechanisms and/or nuclear interactions could form black holes with subsolar masses. Assuming a particular primordial black hole (PBH) formation model, we constrain a population of merging 0.2 M_{⊙} black holes to account for less than 16% of the dark matter density and a population of merging 1.0 M_{⊙} black holes to account for less than 2% of the dark matter density. We discuss how constraints on the merger rate and dark matter fraction may be extended to arbitrary black hole population models that predict subsolar mass binaries.

Abstract
Nanomechanical resonators are widely operated as force and mass sensors with sensitivities in the zepto-Newton (10-21) and yocto-gram (10-24) regime, respectively. Their accuracy, however, is usually undermined by high uncertainties in the effective mass of the system, whose estimation is a nontrivial task. This critical issue can be addressed in levitodynamics, where the nanoresonator typically consists of a single silica nanoparticle of well-defined mass. Yet, current methods assess the mass of the levitated nanoparticles with uncertainties up to a few tens of percent, therefore preventing to achieve unprecedented sensing performances. Here, we present a novel measurement protocol that uses the electric field from a surrounding plate capacitor to directly drive a charged optically levitated particle in moderate vacuum. The developed technique estimates the mass within a statistical error below 1% and a systematic error of ∼2%, and paves the way toward more reliable sensing and metrology applications of levitodynamics systems.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Cerebral side effects have long been recognized as complications to beta-blocker treatment. However, evidence of a longitudinal relationship between the use of beta-blockers and incident dementiais still controversial.
Objective
To evaluate the longitudinal relationship between use of beta-blockers, as a class, and incident risk of all-cause dementia, vascular dementia, Alzheimer and mixed dementia.
Methods
From the prospective, population-based, Malmö Preventive Project, 18,063 individuals (mean age 68.2, males 63.4%) were included at baseline and followed for 84,506 person-years. Patients with prevalent cerebrovascular disease and dementia were excluded. In order to weight the risk of incident dementia associated with beta-blocker consumption, we performed propensity score matching analysis, resulting in 3,720 matched pairs of beta-blocker users and non-users at baseline, and multivariable Cox proportional-hazardsregression.
Results
Overall, 122 study participants (1.6%) were diagnosed with dementia over the course of follow-up. Use of beta-blockers was independently associated with increased risk of developing vascular dementia, regardless of confounding factors (HR: 1.72, 95% CI 1.01–3.78; p=0.048). Conversely, treatment with BB was not associated with increased risk of all-cause, Alzheimer and mixed dementia (HR: 1.15; 95% CI 0.80–1.66; p=0.44; HR: 0.85; 95% CI 0.48–1.54; P=0.59 and HR: 1.35; 95% CI 0.56–3.27; p=0.50, respectively).
Conclusions and relevance
We observed that use of beta-blockers, as a class, is associated with increased longitudinal risk of vascular dementia in the general elderly population, regardless of cardiovascular risk factors, prevalent or incident history of atrial fibrillation, stroke, coronary events and heart failure. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings in the general population and to explore the mechanisms underlying the relationship between use of beta-blockers and increased risk of vascular dementia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Studies evaluating the relationship between platelet indices and cardiovascular outcome yielded conflicting results. In particular, the evidence from large, population-based, prospective studies with extended follow-up duration is scarce.
Purpose
We investigated the incidence of major adverse events in relation to baseline values of platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) in the prospective cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study.
Methods
A total of 30,314 middle-aged individuals (mean age 57±8 years; 40% men) were overall included and followed up for a median of 16 years (in total, 468,490 person-years). The following outcome measures were considered: all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke.
Results
There was no relationship between increase in MPV or PDW values and adverse events during follow-up. In particular, the incidence of all-cause death, MI and stroke in patients in the 4thquartile of MPV was 19.8% (vs. 20.7% in the 1stquartile; p=0.08), 8.5% (vs. 8.2%; p=0.78) and 7.9% (vs. 7.1%; p=0.09), respectively. The rates of all-cause death, MI and stroke in patients in the 4thquartile of PDW were 20.1% (vs. 20.7% in the 1stquartile; p=0.16), 8.7% (vs. 8.1%; p=0.30) and 8.1% (vs. 7.2%; p=0.09), respectively. There was a significant rise in mortality by platelet count increase (log-rank p<0.001). In multivariable analysis, patients in the 4thquartile of platelet count (>264 x 109/L) showed a significantly higher incidence of all-cause death (HR 1.17, 95% CI 1.07–1.28; p=0.001), MI (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.08–1.43; p=0.003) and stroke (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.04–1.39; p=0.014) vs the 1stquartile. The higher mortality in the 4thquartile of platelet count was independent of the history of previous stroke, was significant in patients without prior MI (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.08–1.29; p<0.001) and non-significant in those with prior MI (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.56–1.33; p=0.51). The risk of MI in the 4thquartile of platelet count was higher regardless of the history of previous MI (p for interaction=0.11). The risk of stroke in the 4thquartile of platelet count was higher regardless of the history of previous stroke (p for interaction=0.15).
Conclusions
In this population-based, prospective, cohort study there was no difference in the incidence of adverse events across various strata of baseline platelet morphology. However, patients with highest platelet count at baseline showed a significantly higher risk of all-cause death, MI and stroke. Whether or not these individuals should be targeted by more aggressive primary prophylactic measures including antiplatelet treatment, remains to be proven.
