Abstract
Afferent loop syndrome (ALS) is an uncommon complication of gastrojejunostomy. It may be acute or chronic depending on whether symptoms manifest within 7 days of surgery. Rarely acute ALS may give rise to acute pancreatitis. It may present early in the postoperative course and, if diagnosed late, may result in organ failure within 48h. We report a middle-aged woman with carcinoma of the stomach managed by subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II gastrojejunostomy and Braun jejunojejunostomy. The patient developed vomiting and abdominal pain in the first postoperative day with acute renal shutdown and about 500ml drain output of dirty fluid. On investigation, a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis due to afferent loop syndrome was made, and the patient was resuscitated in the intensive care unit. However, she showed early signs of organ failure and succumbed to her condition within 6 days of surgery. Since the complication is rare following gastrojejunostomy and often mimics ALS, an early diagnosis becomes difficult. If delay in management happens, premature organ failure may lead to high morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the pattern of noninfectious scleritis across a tertiary eye-care network. METHODS A three-year retrospective review of patients diagnosed with noninfectious scleritis was performed. Data were retrieved using diagnostic terms assigned to scleritis through the in-house eyeSmart-electronic medical record system. RESULTS 1103 patients, with a mean age of 44.33 ± 14.38 years and a median follow-up of 199.5 days (range 32-685) were enrolled. Unilateral disease was noted in 85%. Diffuse anterior scleritis (n = 542, 42.51%) and nodular scleritis (n = 482, 38.12%) were the commonest subtypes. Systemic immune disease association was present in 65 (5.89%). Treatment at onset was topical corticosteroids (n = 372, 36.54%) followed by oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (n = 351, 34.45%), oral corticosteroids in 184 (19.04%), and immunomodulators in 32 patients (3.54%). CONCLUSIONS This study depicts the pattern of various noninfectious scleritis in a large cohort of patients. The present study helped to further customize the electronic medical records to minimize several data capture limitations.

Abstract
Background Diagnosis of internal external ventricular drain (EVD)-related infections (iERI) is an area of diagnostic difficulty. Empiric treatment is often initiated on clinical suspicion. There is limited guidance around antimicrobial management of confirmed versus suspected iERI. Methods Data on patients requiring EVD insertion were collected from 21 neurosurgical units in the United Kingdom from 2014 to 2015. Confirmed iERI was defined as clinical suspicion of infection with positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture and/or Gram stain. Cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and clinical parameters and antimicrobial management were compared between the 2 groups. Mortality and Modified Rankin Scores were compared at 30 days post-EVD insertion. Results Internal EVD-related infection was suspected after 46 of 495 EVD insertions (9.3%), more common after an emergency insertion. Twenty-six of 46 were confirmed iERIs, mostly due to Staphylococci (16 of 26). When confirmed and suspected infections were compared, there were no differences in CSF white cell counts or glucose concentrations, nor peripheral blood white cell counts or C-reactive protein concentrations. The incidence of fever, meningism, and seizures was also similar, although altered consciousness was more common in people with confirmed iERI. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial usage was prevalent in both groups with no difference in median duration of therapy (10 days [interquartile range {IQR}, 7–24.5] for confirmed cases and 9.5 days [IQR, 5.75–14] for suspected, P = 0.3). Despite comparable baseline characteristics, suspected iERI was associated with lower mortality and better neurological outcomes. Conclusions Suspected iERI could represent sterile inflammation or lower bacterial load leading to false-negative cultures. There is a need for improved microbiology diagnostics and biomarkers of bacterial infection to permit accurate discrimination and improve antimicrobial stewardship.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the time to resolution of perivascular infiltrates in tubercular retinal vasculitis (TRV) between anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) alone, and in combination with systemic corticosteroids. METHODS Observational retrospective cohort study in a tertiary eye centre in eastern India. Patients with TRV who were treated with anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) alone (Group A), or in combination with systemic corticosteroids (Group B) were included in the study. Eyes with additional inflammatory signs (cystoid macular oedema, vitritis ≥2+, optic disc oedema) were excluded. Resolution was defined as complete disappearance of perivascular infiltrates on seven-field fundus photographs. Descriptive statistics were used for demographic data. A linear mixed effects model was applied to adjust for intereye correlations, in patients with bilateral disease. The primary outcome measure was time to resolution of perivascular infiltrates. Secondary outcome measure was need for laser or surgical intervention for management of complications of TRV. RESULTS Fifty eyes of 39 patients (Group A 21/18 and Group B 29/21) were included. Both groups had similar demographics and severity of vasculitis. All patients had complete resolution of TRV. On adjusting for intereye correlation, the mean difference in time to resolution between the two groups (Group A, 3.24 [95% CI 2.69-3.77] months, and Group B, 4.76 [95% CI 3.52-5.99] months) was not statistically significant (0.96 weeks [-0.52 to 2.45] p = 0.21). Vaso-occlusive complications and healing patterns were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS ATT alone, may be sufficient for resolution of perivascular infiltrates, in TRV without additional inflammatory signs.

Abstract
Despite knowing the benefits of the type and screen (TS) method in pre-transfusion testing (PTT), most transfusion centers in developing countries continue to be reluctant to adopt a TS strategy over the conventional type and antihuman globulin (AHG) crossmatch (TX) policy in their routine laboratory practice because of the cost of obtaining antibody screening reagents. To generate strong evidence, this multicenter, observational study was conducted in which we collected data prospectively over a 1-year period from six major blood centers in India. The primary objective of this study was to identify the discordance between TS and TX results. A secondary objective was to identify the allo-antibody specificity in patients with positive antibody detection tests. All patients with orders for red blood cell transfusion who met patient selection criteria were subjected to parallel testing by column agglutination technology (CAT) for both the antibody detection test (screen) using a commercial three-cell panel and for the AHG crossmatch. A total of 21,842 patients were tested. In 148 patients with incompatible crossmatches, samples from six patients gave negative results with the antibody detection test, whereas the antibody detection test was positive in samples from 118 patients among the 21,694 crossmatch-compatible cases. The TS approach achieved a positive percent agreement of 95.95 and was found to be significantly effective in preventing the transfusion of serologically incompatible blood. The risk associated with abbreviating the AHG crossmatch was found to be 0.009 percent. Most of the identified clinically significant alloantibodies were directed to Rh antigens (D>E>c>C>e), followed by anti-K and anti-M. This study has generated sufficient robust data for the Indian population by including patients from all major geographical areas of the country and concluded a satisfactory agreement level as well as non-inferiority to the current PTT policy. Therefore, TS policy can be implemented in developing countries with no compromise on blood safety, provided sufficient technical and infrastructural support are available.

Abstract
Purpose To describe clinical and imaging characteristics of the outer retinal folds (ORF) in cases of retinitis, retinochoroiditis, and chorioretinitis. Methods Retrospective review of retinitis cases with presence of ORFs either at presentation or during follow up. Results ORFs were seen adjacent to retinitis lesions in 16 eyes of 14 cases (retinitis post-febrile illness n = 10, toxoplasma retinochoroiditis n = 2, fungal chorioretinitis n = 2) either at presentation (n = 2) or during follow up (n = 14). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) appearance was outer retinal vertical stout lesions involving ellipsoid, external limiting membrane, and outer nuclear layer. All the cases had a presence of past or concurrent subretinal fluid and/or subretinal hyperreflective material when ORF was seen. ORF resolved with variable outer retinal atrophy over a mean period of 2.86 months. Conclusion ORF is observed in cases of retinitis with subretinal fluid either at presentation or during resolution. It is not specific to any etiological disease. Differentiation of this sign from vertical outer retinal stripes in viral retinitis on OCT is important to avoid misinterpretation.

Abstract
The onset of menopause and accompanying changes to ovarian hormones often precedes endothelial dysfunction in women. In particular, accelerated impairments in macrovascular and microvascular function coincide with the loss of estrogen, as does impaired endothelial responses to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. In healthy, early postmenopausal women (n = 12; 3.9 ± 1.5 years since menopause) we tested the hypothesis that acute dietary nitrate (NO3-) supplementation would improve endothelial function and attenuate the magnitude of endothelial dysfunction following whole-arm IR in comparison with placebo. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study we tested participants before and after NO3--rich (BRnitrate) and NO3--depleted (BRplacebo) beetroot juice (BR) consumption, as well as following IR injury, and 15 min after IR to assess recovery. Analyses with repeated-measures general linear models revealed a condition × time interaction for brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD; P = 0.04), and no interaction effect was found for the near-infrared spectroscopy-derived reperfusion slope (P = 0.86). Follow-up analysis showed a significant decline in FMD following IR injury with BRplacebo in comparison with all other timepoints (all, P < 0.05), while this decline was not present with BRnitrate (all, P > 0.05). Our findings demonstrate that a single dose of dietary NO3- minimizes IR-induced macrovascular endothelial dysfunction in healthy, early postmenopausal women, but does not improve resting macrovascular and microvascular function. Trial registration number: NCT03644472. Novelty: In healthy, early postmenopausal women, a single dose of NO3--rich BR can protect against IR-induced endothelial dysfunction. This protection may be due to nitric oxide bioactivity during IR rather than improved endothelial function prior to the IR protocol per se.

Abstract
The study of nuclei and antinuclei production has proven to be a powerful tool to investigate the formation mechanism of loosely bound states in high-energy hadronic collisions. The first measurement of the production of _{Λ}^{3}H in p-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV is presented in this Letter. Its production yield measured in the rapidity interval -1<y<0 for the 40% highest-multiplicity p-Pb collisions is dN/dy=[6.3±1.8(stat)±1.2(syst)]×10^{-7}. The measurement is compared with the expectations of statistical hadronization and coalescence models, which describe the nucleosynthesis in hadronic collisions. These two models predict very different yields of the hypertriton in charged particle multiplicity environments relevant to small collision systems such as p-Pb, and therefore the measurement of dN/dy is crucial to distinguish between them. The precision of this measurement leads to the exclusion with a significance larger than 6.9σ of some configurations of the statistical hadronization model, thus constraining the theory behind the production of loosely bound states at hadron colliders.

Abstract
A 23-year-old man, under treatment for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, presented with sudden drop in vision in the left eye for the past 1 week. We noted optic atrophy with sclerosed vessels in multiple quadrants in both eyes, moderate vitreous haze, and active retinal vasculitis in left eye. The patient received therapeutic pars plana vitrectomy in the left eye, and the vitreous sample was analyzed for immunophenotypes by flow cytometry (T-cells) and immunohistochemistry (B-cells). 65.1% of total vitreous cells were CD3+ T-cells. These included 42.4% CD4+, and 20.6% CD8+ T-cells. Immunohistochemistry detected CD20+ B-cells (not quantifiable). Our analysis demonstrated a mixed B- and T-lymphocyte vitreous infiltrate in multiple sclerosis-associated uveitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has been traditionally used for diagnostic tapping or for management of posterior segment complications, in uveitis. The anti-inflammatory potential of therapeutic PPV, independent of its role in managing uveitis complications, is yet to be realised completely. In this narrative review, we have described the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of therapeutic PPV in the management of uveitis. METHODS Literature review of PubMed database for articles relating directly or indirectly, to the anti-inflammatory effect of therapeutic PPV in the management of uveitis. Of the 876 articles retrieved on initial review, only 37 articles were found to be relevant for the purpose of this review. RESULTS Therapeutic PPV is effective in controlling vitreous inflammation, improving visual outcomes and reducing the need for immunosuppressive medications in a wide range of infectious and non-infectious uveitis. Careful patient selection and meticulous surgical handling are mandatory. Post-operative complications include cataract progression, raised intraocular pressure, hypotony, retinal breaks, and worsening of cystoid macular edema. Despite being introduced more than 40 years ago, most data on therapeutic PPV remain retrospective. The possibility of therapeutic PPV replacing conventional medical therapy remains unknown. CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic PPV can control intraocular inflammation, independent of its role in managing posterior segment complications of uveitis. However, its exact place in the anti-inflammatory armamentarium against uveitis remains uncertain.

Abstract
Ocular tuberculosis (TB) is frequently considered as intraocular inflammation in the setting of latent TB, owing mainly to the absence of microbiological evidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in ocular fluid samples. Even though such lack of microbiological evidence, and of systemic signs of active TB disease, are suggestive of latent TB infection, molecular and rare histopathologic evidence of mycobacteria in the eye, and favourable response of ocular inflammation to anti-TB therapy point to the presence of active infection in ocular TB. Here, we discuss how intraocular inflammation in ocular TB is not merely an immunologic response to bacilli, but an active tuberculosis infection. We will discuss the reason for the frequent absence of microbiological evidence of TB in the eye in ocular TB and the diagnostic hierarchy to arrive at the diagnosis of this infectious uveitis entity.

Polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] Hyperons along the Beam Direction in Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s]_{NN}=5.02 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2022; 128:172005. [PMID: 35570422 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.128.172005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The polarization of the Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam (z) direction, P_{z}, has been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV recorded with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main contribution to P_{z} comes from elliptic flow-induced vorticity and can be characterized by the second Fourier sine coefficient P_{z,s2}=⟨P_{z}sin(2φ-2Ψ_{2})⟩, where φ is the hyperon azimuthal emission angle and Ψ_{2} is the elliptic flow plane angle. We report the measurement of P_{z,s2} for different collision centralities and in the 30%-50% centrality interval as a function of the hyperon transverse momentum and rapidity. The P_{z,s2} is positive similarly as measured by the STAR Collaboration in Au-Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV, with somewhat smaller amplitude in the semicentral collisions. This is the first experimental evidence of a nonzero hyperon P_{z} in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The comparison of the measured P_{z,s2} with the hydrodynamic model calculations shows sensitivity to the competing contributions from thermal and the recently found shear-induced vorticity, as well as to whether the polarization is acquired at the quark-gluon plasma or the hadronic phase.

Abstract
Purpose To describe the demographics and epidemiology of uveitis presenting to a multi-tier ophthalmology hospital network in Southern India. Methods Cross-sectional hospital-based study of 19,352 patients with uveitis presenting between March 2012 and August 2018. Results In total, 1,734,272 new patients were seen across the secondary and tertiary centers of our multi-tier ophthalmology hospital network during the study period. Among them, 25,353 eyes of 19,352 patients were diagnosed with uveitis and were included in the study. Uveitis constituted 1.11% of all cases. The majority of patients were male (60.33%) and had unilateral (68.09%) affliction. The most common age group was 21-50 years with 12,204 (63.06%) patients. The most common type of uveitis was anterior uveitis, which was seen in 7380 (38.14%) patients, followed by posterior uveitis in 5397 (23.89%) patients. Among the infectious causes, tuberculosis was the most common etiology (2551 patients, 13%) followed by toxoplasmosis (1147 patients, 6%). Conclusion Uveitis constituted 1.11% of all cases presenting to our clinics. It was more common in the age group of 21-50 and was predominantly unilateral. Anterior uveitis was the most common subtype seen in 38%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Closed-loop insulin delivery systems have the potential to address suboptimal glucose control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. We compared safety and efficacy of the Cambridge hybrid closed-loop algorithm with usual care over 6 months in this population. METHODS In a multicentre, multinational, parallel randomised controlled trial, participants aged 6-18 years using insulin pump therapy were recruited at seven UK and five US paediatric diabetes centres. Key inclusion criteria were diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least 12 months, insulin pump therapy for at least 3 months, and screening HbA1c levels between 53 and 86 mmol/mol (7·0-10·0%). Using block randomisation and central randomisation software, we randomly assigned participants to either closed-loop insulin delivery (closed-loop group) or to usual care with insulin pump therapy (control group) for 6 months. Randomisation was stratified at each centre by local baseline HbA1c. The Cambridge closed-loop algorithm running on a smartphone was used with either (1) a modified Medtronic 640G pump, Medtronic Guardian 3 sensor, and Medtronic prototype phone enclosure (FlorenceM configuration), or (2) a Sooil Dana RS pump and Dexcom G6 sensor (CamAPS FX configuration). The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c at 6 months combining data from both configurations. The primary analysis was done in all randomised patients (intention to treat). Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02925299. FINDINGS Of 147 people initially screened, 133 participants (mean age 13·0 years [SD 2·8]; 57% female, 43% male) were randomly assigned to either the closed-loop group (n=65) or the control group (n=68). Mean baseline HbA1c was 8·2% (SD 0·7) in the closed-loop group and 8·3% (0·7) in the control group. At 6 months, HbA1c was lower in the closed-loop group than in the control group (between-group difference -3·5 mmol/mol (95% CI -6·5 to -0·5 [-0·32 percentage points, -0·59 to -0·04]; p=0·023). Closed-loop usage was low with FlorenceM due to failing phone enclosures (median 40% [IQR 26-53]), but consistently high with CamAPS FX (93% [88-96]), impacting efficacy. A total of 155 adverse events occurred after randomisation (67 in the closed-loop group, 88 in the control group), including seven severe hypoglycaemia events (four in the closed-loop group, three in the control group), two diabetic ketoacidosis events (both in the closed-loop group), and two non-treatment-related serious adverse events. There were 23 reportable hyperglycaemia events (11 in the closed-loop group, 12 in the control group), which did not meet criteria for diabetic ketoacidosis. INTERPRETATION The Cambridge hybrid closed-loop algorithm had an acceptable safety profile, and improved glycaemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. To ensure optimal efficacy of the closed-loop system, usage needs to be consistently high, as demonstrated with CamAPS FX. FUNDING National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

Measurement of the Groomed Jet Radius and Momentum Splitting Fraction in pp and Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2022; 128:102001.

Abstract
This article presents groomed jet substructure measurements in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector. The soft drop grooming algorithm provides access to the hard parton splittings inside a jet by removing soft wide-angle radiation. We report the groomed jet momentum splitting fraction, z_{g}, and the (scaled) groomed jet radius, θ_{g}. Charged-particle jets are reconstructed at midrapidity using the anti-k_{T} algorithm with resolution parameters R=0.2 and R=0.4. In heavy-ion collisions, the large underlying event poses a challenge for the reconstruction of groomed jet observables, since fluctuations in the background can cause groomed parton splittings to be misidentified. By using strong grooming conditions to reduce this background, we report these observables fully corrected for detector effects and background fluctuations for the first time. A narrowing of the θ_{g} distribution in Pb-Pb collisions compared to pp collisions is seen, which provides direct evidence of the modification of the angular structure of jets in the quark-gluon plasma. No significant modification of the z_{g} distribution in Pb-Pb collisions compared to pp collisions is observed. These results are compared with a variety of theoretical models of jet quenching, and provide constraints on jet energy-loss mechanisms and coherence effects in the quark-gluon plasma.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
To Identify if baseline admission ECGs are performed for all emergency surgical patients over the age of 50 being admitted directly to General Surgery from the community. Aim to have 100% of patients >50 years to have admission ECGs.
Method
We undertook a retrospective audit analysing the following parameters:
** This Hospital offers an in-hours (0900-1630, weekdays) ECG service via the cardiac physiology department.
We Conducted 3 cycles of 1 month duration each to assess findings.
Interventions:
Results
Cycle 1–50% (8/16) patients had admission ECGs. 50% (8/16) within 2 hours.
Cycle 2–54% (12/21) patients had admission ECGs. 43% (9/21) within 2 hours.
Cycle 3–71% (17/24) patients had admission ECGs. 62% (15/24) within 2 hours.
Conclusions
We noted improvement in admission ECGs through our interventions. Reminder emails were deemed useful. Barriers identified in After-hours ECGs being done on time due to clinical priorities. We identified a potential role for ECG-trained health-care professionals. 0900–1630 ECG service deemed valuable to admitting doctors. ECG machines were reviewed and found satisfactory. Possible delays in treatment could not be analysed with data collected. Hence, there is further scope to look into outcomes of delayed/missed ECGs e.g., delayed surgery / missed or alternative diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ear, nose and throat (ENT) emergency clinic is managed by foundation year (FY) doctors from taking referrals to discharging patients, under the supervision of a registrar. FYs learn essential skills and knowledge on how to manage common ENT problems. The clinic is often overloaded because of a high patient demand, and this limits the opportunities for teaching. We hypothesised that the clinic bookings would be better managed if referrals from general practitioners (GPs) were triaged by registrars. METHODS Telephone referrals from GPs for the ENT emergency clinic were directed to the on-call ENT registrar, between 8am and 1pm from Monday to Friday, and to the FY outside of this period. Consecutive referrals to the emergency clinic were analysed in a baseline audit and a post-intervention cycle. RESULTS A total of 646 and 611 patients were given clinic appointments in the first and second cycles, respectively. Clinic session overbookings decreased from 85% to 46.3%. Appointments for referrals that were deemed inappropriate had reduced from 22% to 12.1%. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Involvement of a registrar in taking referrals for the ENT emergency clinic was associated with a reduction in clinic overbookings. It is feasible and productive to involve a senior decision maker in the operational management of the emergency clinic, while preserving the delivery of this service by FYs for its training value.
