The long-term impact of acute renal failure after aortic arch replacement for acute type A aortic dissection. J Card Surg 2022; 37:2378-2385. [PMID: 35582756 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term impact of developing acute renal failure (ARF) on survival after open aortic arch reconstruction for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). METHODS This was an observational study of consecutive aortic surgeries from 2007 to 2021. Patients with ATAAD were identified via a prospectively maintained institutional database and were stratified by the presence or absence of postoperative ARF (by RIFLE criteria). Kaplan-Meier survival estimation and multivariable Cox regression analysis were performed. RESULTS A total of 601 patients undergoing open surgery for ATAAD were identified, of which 516 (85.9%) did not develop postoperative ARF, while 85 (14.1%) developed ARF, with a median follow-up time of 4.6 years (1.6, 7.9). Baseline characteristics were similar across each group, except for higher rates of branch vessel malperfusion and lower preoperative ejection fraction in the ARF group. Patients with ARF underwent more total arch replacement and elephant trunk procedures, with longer cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest times than patients without ARF. ARF was associated with worse short-term outcomes, including increased in-hospital mortality, prolonged mechanical ventilation, higher rates of sepsis, more blood transfusions, and longer length of hospital stay. Unadjusted Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were significantly lower in the ARF group, compared to the group without ARF (p < .001, log-rank test). After multivariable adjustment, the development of postoperative ARF was significantly associated with an increased hazard of death over the study's follow-up time-period (hazard ratio: 2.74, 95% confidence interval: 1.95, 3.86, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS ARF is a highly morbid postoperative event that may adversely impact long-term survival after aortic surgery.

Abstract
Today COVID-19 pandemic articulates high stress on clinical resources around the world. At present, physical and viral tests are slowly emerging, and there is a need for robust pandemic detection that biomedical sensors can aid. The utility of biomedical sensors is correlated with the medical instruments with physiological metrics. These Biomedical sensors are integrated with the systematic device to track the target analytes with a biomedical component. The COVID-19 patients' samples are collected, and biomarkers are detected using four sensors: blood pressure sensor, G-FET based biosensor, electrochemical sensor, and potentiometric sensor with different quantifiable measures. The imputed data is then profiled with chest X-ray images from the Covid-19 patients.Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), an AI model, is deployed to identify the hidden signatures with biomarkers. The performance of the biosensor is measured with three parameters such as sensitivity, specificity and detection limit by generating the calibration plots that accurately fits the model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE) is one of the most common infectious causes of sporadic encephalitis. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been associated with immune dysregulation of the host that might increase the risk of infections like HSVE following SARS-CoV-2 infection. There is paucity of literature on post COVID-19 HSVE. This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the clinical presentation, brain imaging, and outcome of patients presenting with HSVE within 6 weeks of COVID-19 and providing a comprehensive review on the possible mechanisms of post-COVID-19 HSVE. METHODS This observational study included patients who had laboratory-confirmed HSVE (type 1 or type 2) and a history of COVID-19 within the previous 6 weeks. Patients were followed up for 3 months. RESULTS Eight patients were included and all of them had type 1 HSVE. The mean latency of onset of neurological symptoms from being diagnosed with COVID-19 is 23.87 days and a majority of the patients have received injectable steroids with a mean duration of 6.5 days. Behavioral abnormality was the commonest neurological presentation and typical brain imaging involved T2 FLAIR hyperintensities of the medial temporal lobes. All patients received intravenous acyclovir 10 mg/kg every eight hourly for atleast 14 days. One patient with concomitant rhinocerebral mucormycosis succumbed while the majority had a complete recovery. CONCLUSION Possible immune dysregulation in COVID-19 may increase the susceptibility of HSVE in patients with a history of recent SARS-CoV-2 infection. The clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of HSVE in such patients are similar to typical HSVE.

Abstract
The measurement of two-particle angular correlation functions in high-multiplicity e^{+}e^{-} collisions at sqrt[s]=10.52 GeV is reported. In this study, the 89.5 fb^{-1} of hadronic e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB are used. Two-particle angular correlation functions are measured in the full relative azimuthal angle (Δϕ) and three units of pseudorapidity (Δη), defined by either the electron beam axis or the event-shape thrust axis, and are studied as a function of charged-particle multiplicity. The measurement in the thrust axis analysis, with mostly outgoing quark pairs determining the reference axis, is sensitive to the region of additional soft gluon emissions. No significant anisotropic collective behavior is observed with either coordinate analyses. Near-side jet correlations appear to be absent in the thrust axis analysis. The measurements are compared to predictions from various event generators and are expected to provide new constraints to the phenomenological models in the low-energy regime.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) is dismal. Despite best treatment and care, the patients with this malignancy only showed 2.7-4 months of overall survival. It is debatable whether liver transplantation helps PVTT sufferers. The effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating HCC patients with PVTT should not be undervalued. By limiting the high dosage region to a small planning target volume, stereotactic radiation delivery has shifted toward hypofractionation, limiting the radiation exposure to healthy organs and tissues. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has a local control rate of 75-100%, depending on the treatment. The major limitation in SBRT for hepatocellular carcinoma with PVTT is the paucity of prospective evidence for longer periods beyond the first two years after treatment. More prospective studies/randomized clinical trials with a longer follow-up, larger sample size, and adequate statistical power are the dire need of the present situation to ascertain the curative effect of SBRT as primary therapy for advanced HCC with PVTT. CONCLUSION SBRT can improve survival, particularly for patients receiving multidisciplinary treatment. This review sums up our most current understanding of how radiation therapy, notably SBRT, can be used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma when combined with PVTT. Recent research has led us to believe that irradiation in the form of SBRT may cure hepatocellular carcinoma complicated by PVTT.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There has been more than a 100 per cent increase in stroke incidence in India from 1970 - 2008. Early Neurological Deterioration (END) is associated with an increased risk of disability and mortality in ischemic stroke patients and approximately 32% of ischemic stroke patients experience END. Although various factors have been identified to predict the occurrence of END in ischemic stroke such as age, gender, diabetes, initial stroke severity, stroke subtype and radiological parameters, similar data for the Indian population is lacking. Fibrinogen is a mediator in the development of coronary artery thrombi and future cardiac events and has been reported to be independently associated with a poor functional outcome. MATERIAL We enrolled 141 patients with acute ischemic stroke from a single centre. END was defined as a total National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score deterioration by 2 or more points within the first week. Patients with a Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) score of 3 or more at discharge, or a stroke recurrence event during hospital stay were said to have a poor outcome. We performed univariate analysis in the total population to develop a logistic regression model to assess potential factors associated with END and poor outcome. OBSERVATION Fibrinogen levels were higher in the END group than the non - END group (464.57 ± 121.05 vs. 305.0 ± 123.28, p <0.001) and was an independent predictor for END in the logistic regression model (odds ratio 1.011, p <0.001). Increasing age and a higher NIHSS score at admission were other risk factors for developing END. Fibrinogen was also independently associated with poor outcome (odds ratio 1.004, p = 0.038) along with initial NIHSS score and fasting blood sugar level. CONCLUSION Fibrinogen levels at stroke onset is independently associated with END and a worse hospital outcome in an Indian population subset with ischemic stroke. Routine plasma fibrinogen assays may help clinicians in stratifying patients into a high-risk group, who may require more potent antiplatelet therapy or use of fibrin-depleting agents.

Abstract
Biomedical applications such as cell screening or cell-cell interaction studies require placement and adhesion of cells on surfaces with controlled numbers and location. In particular, single-cell arraying and positioning has come into focus as a basis of such applications. An ideal substrate would combine biocompatibility with favorable attributes such as pattern stability and easy processing. Here, we present a simple yet effective approach to single-cell arraying based on a graphene oxide (GO) surface carrying protein (fibronectin) microarrays to define cell adhesion points. These capture NIH-3T3 cells, resulting in cell arrays, which are benchmarked against analogous arrays on silanized glass samples. We reveal significant improvement in cell-capture performance by the GO coating with regards to overall cell adhesion and single-cell feature occupancy. This overall improvement of cell-arraying combined with retained transparency of substrate for microscopy and good biocompatibility makes this graphene-based approach attractive for single-cell experiments.

Abstract
We search for a light Higgs boson (A^{0}) decaying into a τ^{+}τ^{-} or μ^{+}μ^{-} pair in the radiative decays of ϒ(1S). The production of ϒ(1S) mesons is tagged by ϒ(2S)→π^{+}π^{-}ϒ(1S) transitions, using 158×10^{6} ϒ(2S) events accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. No significant A^{0} signals in the mass range from the τ^{+}τ^{-} or μ^{+}μ^{-} threshold to 9.2 GeV/c^{2} are observed. We set the upper limits at 90% credibility level (C.L.) on the product branching fractions for ϒ(1S)→γA^{0} and A^{0}→τ^{+}τ^{-} varying from 3.8×10^{-6} to 1.5×10^{-4}. Our results represent an approximately twofold improvement on the current world best upper limits for the ϒ(1S)→γA^{0}(→τ^{+}τ^{-}) production. For A^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-}, the upper limits on the product branching fractions for ϒ(1S)→γA^{0} and A^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-} are at the same level as the world average limits, and vary from 3.1×10^{-7} to 1.6×10^{-5}. The upper limits at 90% credibility level on the Yukawa coupling f_{ϒ(1S)} and mixing angle sinθ_{A^{0}} are also given.

Abstract
Pulmonary medical image analysis using image processing and deep learning approaches has made remarkable achievements in the diagnosis, prognosis, and severity check of lung diseases. The epidemic of COVID-19 brought out by the novel coronavirus has triggered a critical need for artificial intelligence assistance in diagnosing and controlling the disease to reduce its effects on people and global economies. This study aimed at identifying the various COVID-19 medical imaging analysis models proposed by different researchers and featured their merits and demerits. It gives a detailed discussion on the existing COVID-19 detection methodologies (diagnosis, prognosis, and severity/risk detection) and the challenges encountered for the same. It also highlights the various preprocessing and post-processing methods involved to enhance the detection mechanism. This work also tries to bring out the different unexplored research areas that are available for medical image analysis and how the vast research done for COVID-19 can advance the field. Despite deep learning methods presenting high levels of efficiency, some limitations have been briefly described in the study. Hence, this review can help understand the utilization and pros and cons of deep learning in analyzing medical images.

Abstract
We present an experimental method to generate quasiperpendicular supercritical magnetized collisionless shocks. In our experiment, ambient nitrogen (N) plasma is at rest and well magnetized, and it has uniform mass density. The plasma is pushed by laser-driven ablation aluminum (Al) plasma. Streaked optical pyrometry and spatially resolved laser collective Thomson scattering clarify structures of plasma density and temperatures, which are compared with one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. It is indicated that just after the laser irradiation, the Al plasma is magnetized by a self-generated Biermann battery field, and the plasma slaps the incident N plasma. The compressed external field in the N plasma reflects N ions, leading to counterstreaming magnetized N flows. Namely, we identify the edge of the reflected N ions. Such interacting plasmas form a magnetized collisionless shock.

Abstract
In this study, Polyphenols functionalized Graphitic Hematite Nanocomposite (PGHN) was used as an adsorbent to remove Caesium (Cs) ions from a simulated solution. The nanocomposite was produced by synthesizing iron oxide nanoparticles using orange peel extract (OPE) as the reducing and capping agent in the presence of graphite produced from sugarcane bagasse. The nanocomposite exhibited a scaly morphology and the mean particle size of rhombohedral structured hematite nanoparticles was found to be 148.9 nm. The simulated solution of Cs ions was treated with PGHN and the treatment conditions were optimized by batch method. The concentration of Cs ion in the treated solution was determined using atomic emission spectroscopy (AES). The maximum Cs adsorption of 97.95% was attained at an optimum condition of pH - 9.0 and adsorbent dose - 70 mg/mL for treatment period of 110 min. The experimental data of adsorption fitted well with pseudo 1st order kinetics and was favorable for both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The study reports a facile method for the production of nanocomposite using agro-wastes such as sugarcane bagasse and orange peels. The synthesized nanocomposite was used as an adsorbent for the removal of toxic Cs and can be further used for industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
India is the highest TB burden country in the world. The burden however is not uniform in different strata including tribal population - one of the key affected populations in the country. As the evidences from tribal population are hardly available, most of the policies and strategies implemented under National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) are usually based on the evidences from general populations. NTEP is continuously taking steps to strengthen TB services in tribal areas. The Social Action Plan including Tribal Action Plan is in place and the appropriate strategies are incorporated in the National Strategic Plan (NSP) to ensure universal access to quality TB services to vulnerable population groups. However, its implementation becomes challenging especially in tribal areas as different tribal groups have their own unique ways of dealing with health issues. These issues are therefore required to be addressed holistically involving all the stakeholders. In view of this a symposium was jointly organized by the Central TB Division (CTD), Govt. of India and ICMR - National Institute of Research in Tribal Health (NIRTH), Jabalpur on 17th and 18th December, 2019 at ICMR - NIRTH, Jabalpur. It provided an excellent platform for all the stakeholders from different parts of the country to share their experiences in tuberculosis particularly among marginalized populations. The recommendations emerged out of this interactive symposium highlight the sincere effort of NTEP to tackle TB situation in tribal population and show the way forward towards India's TB elimination goal by 2025 especially in hard to reach tribal areas.
