Abstract
PURPOSE Although recurrence risk is a major concern for women having had an ischemic stroke (IS) and who are planning a pregnancy, studies on recurrence risk and pregnancy outcomes are scarce and heterogeneous. METHODS This retrospective study assessed women aged 15-44 years with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke admitted in the Lyon Stroke Centre, France, between January 2009 and December 2013. The primary outcome was stroke recurrence during pregnancy or the post-partum period. Secondary outcomes were pregnancy complications. RESULTS Overall, 104 women with a prior ischemic stroke were included. Mean age at the time of the stroke was 36 ± 6.7 years old. Stroke etiology was large-artery atherosclerosis for 1 woman, cardioembolism for 23 women, and undetermined for 55 women. No antiphospholipid syndrome was found. Among them, 29 women had 58 subsequent pregnancies. Overall, there were three IS recurrence (2.9%), but none occurred during pregnancy. There were 27 miscarriages (47% of pregnancies), two pre-eclampsia (3%), and one stillbirth (1.7%). CONCLUSIONS We observed no recurrence of IS during pregnancy. The study also highlighted that the risk of miscarriages was higher than general population and that of stillbirth should be further studied.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess whether the presence of an aneurysmal or dissecting arterial disease was a risk factor of poor prognosis in patients presenting a dissection of the celiac trunk (CT). METHODS All patients presenting a CT dissection between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2022 were included. Patients with a CT dissection due to the extension of an aortic dissection were excluded. Les antécédents familiaux de dissection, de maladie anévrysmale, de maladie athéromateuse ou du tissu conjonctif, la pratique d'une activité physique ou sportive, un effort inhabituel les jours précédant la dissection ainsi qu'un traumatisme étaient recherchés. Family history of dissection, aneurysmal disease, atheromatous or connective tissue disease, physical activity or sport, an unusual effort in the days prior to the dissection and trauma were sought after. Ischemic or aneurysmal complications in the acute phase and the evolution of the dissection were evaluated and compared between patients with an isolated dissection and those presenting an aneurysmal or dissecting arterial disease. RESULTS 45 patients were included in the study. Twenty-three (51.1%) patients presented with symptomatic CT dissection, and 22 (48.9%) with asymptomatic CT dissection. All the patients initially had medical management alone. The mean follow-up was 32 ± 25 months and all patients were asymptomatic at the time last news. 24 (53.3%) presented an isolated CT dissection, and 21 (46.7%) a CT dissection associated with aneurysmal or dissecting arterial disease. There was no significant difference between patients with an isolated CT dissection and those with an associated dissecting or aneurysmal pathology. CONCLUSION CT dissection is a stable disease in the midterm, which makes it a mild arterial pathology, with or without aneurysmal or dissecting anomalies in another territory. The mechanical stress exerted on the CT by the arcuate ligament could be responsible for parietal trauma and favor the occurrence of a TC dissection.

Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal duration of post-radiation temozolomide in newly diagnosed glioblastoma remains unclear, with no published phase III randomised trials. Standard-of-care stipulates 6 months. However, in routine care, it is often extended to 12 months, despite lacking robust supporting data. METHODS GEINO14-01 (Spain) and EX-TEM (Australia) studies enrolled glioblastoma patients without progression at the end of 6 months post-radiation temozolomide. Participants were randomised 1:1 to six additional months of temozolomide or observation. Primary endpoint was 6-month progression free survival from date of randomisation (6mPFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and toxicity. 204 patients were required to detect an improvement in 6mPFS from 50 to 60% (80% power). Neither study recruited sufficient patients. We performed a combined analysis of individual patient data. RESULTS 205 patients were recruited: 159 in GEINO14-01 (2014-2018) and 46 in EX-TEM (2019-2022). Median follow-up was 20.0 and 14.5 months. Baseline characteristics were balanced. There was no significant improvement in 6mPFS (57.2% vs 64.0%, OR0.75, p = 0.4), nor across any subgroups, including MGMT methylated; PFS (HR0.92, p = 0.59, median 7.8 vs 9.7 months); or OS (HR1.03, p = 0.87, median 20.1 vs 19.4 months). During treatment extension, 64% experienced any grade adverse event, mainly fatigue and gastrointestinal (both 54%). Only a minority required treatment changes: 4.5% dose delay, 7.5% dose reduction, 1.5% temozolomide discontinuation. CONCLUSION For glioblastoma patients, extending post-radiation temozolomide from 6 to 12 months is well tolerated but does not improve 6mPFS. We could not identify any subset that benefitted from extended treatment. Six months should remain standard-of-care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery pathways have become the standard of care in various surgical specialties. In this study, we discuss our initial experience with a staged enhanced recovery after surgery pathway in endocrine surgery and assess the impact of this pathway on select perioperative outcomes and unanticipated admissions. METHODS We collected information regarding all thyroid/parathyroid surgeries performed by endocrine surgeons at our institution before and after the implementation of the multi-intervention enhanced recovery after surgery pathway. We compared relevant outcomes for all cases 1 year before (n = 479) and 1 year after (n = 166) implementation of the pathway. We also compared outcomes between enhanced recovery after surgery patient groups with varying levels of enhanced recovery after surgery compliance. RESULTS Enhanced recovery after surgery was associated with a significant decrease in total length of stay (9.2 vs 7.5 hours, P < .0001). Whereas there was no significant decrease in all-cause unanticipated postoperative admissions, there was a decrease in patient-initiated admissions in the Enhanced recovery after surgery group. There was also a significant decrease in mean postoperative morphine milligram equivalents (14.4 vs 16.2 vs 24.8, P = .0015), average daily morphine milligram equivalents (25.6 vs 45.6 vs 53, P < .0001), and average daily pain scores (1.89 vs 2.38 vs 2.74, P = .0045) in the Enhanced recovery after surgery group (particularly with increasing Enhanced recovery after surgery compliance). There were no significant differences in the requirement for postoperative antiemetics or in the post-anesthesia care unit length of stay. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a significant benefit from Enhanced recovery after surgery pathways for thyroidectomies and parathyroidectomies, even with initial data and a staggered roll-out plan. Further directions include a follow-up study once we reach a higher level of institutional compliance with all components of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathway and a prospective trial to identify the relative significance of different portions of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery pathway, particularly the superficial cervical plexus block.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to assess whether high-risk American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)-Physical Status was an independent risk factor for the development of surgical site infection (SSI) after infra-inguinal lower extremity bypass (LEB). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The ASA-Physical Status Classification System assesses the overall physical status preoperatively. ASA-Physical Status is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, limited data are available on how ASA-Physical Status Class affects the development of SSI after infra-inguinal LEB. METHODS Patients who had undergone infra-inguinal LEB from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018, for obliterative arteriopathy or popliteal aneurysm at our university hospital were included. SSI risk factors were identified using multivariable logistic regression. The length of hospital stay, major limb events (MALE), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and all-cause mortality were compared for patients with SSI versus those without SSI 3 months and 1- year of follow-up after the index surgery. RESULTS Among the 267 patients included, 30 (11.2%) developed SSI during the 3-month period and 32 (12%) at 1 year. ASA-Physical Status ≥3 [odds ratio (OR): 3.7, 95% confidence interval CI) 1.5-11.1], emergency surgery (OR: 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-6.0), general anesthesia (OR: 2.8, 95% CI 1.3-6.1), and procedure performed by a junior surgeon (OR: 2.7, 95% CI 1.3-6.0) were independently associated with SSI. At 3 months and 1 year, SSI was significantly associated with MALE (including surgical wound debridement, subsequent thrombectomy, major amputation), length of hospital stay, and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION The ASA-Physical Status should be considered in medical management when an infra-inguinal LEB is considered in frail patients, to prevent surgical complications.

Abstract
Background: The latest guidelines propose a TcpO2 value of 30 mmHg to help to confirm the diagnosis of chronic limb threatening ischemia. However, placement of electrodes is not standardised. The relevance of an "angiosome-centred" approach for TcpO2 electrode positioning has never been evaluated. We therefore retrospectively analysed our TcpO2 results to study the impact of electrode placement on the different angiosomes of the foot. Patients and methods: Patients consulting the vascular medicine department laboratory for suspicion of CLTI using TcpO2 electrodes placement on the different angiosome arteries of the foot (first inter metatarsal space, lateral edge of the foot and plantar side of the foot) were included. As the mean intra-individual variation is reported to be 8 mmHg, a variation of mean TcpO2 for the 3 locations ≤8 mmHg was considered to be not clinically significant. Results: Thirty-four patients (34 ischemic legs) were analysed. The mean TcpO2 was higher at the lateral edge of the foot (55 mmHg) and plantar side of the foot (65 mmHg) than at the first intermetatarsal space (48 mmHg). There was no clinically significant variation of mean TcpO2 according to anterior/posterior tibial artery patency and fibular artery patency. This was present when stratifying on the number of patent arteries. Conclusions: The present study suggests that multi-electrode TcpO2 is not useful to assess tissue oxygenation in the different angiosomes of the foot to guide surgical decision; first intermetatarsal electrode alone would be preferred. TcpO2 seems rather to evaluate overall tissue oxygenation of the foot. Electrode location on the plantar side of the foot may overestimate results and lead to misinterpretation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-grade glioma (HGG) is a rapidly progressing and debilitating disease. Family carers take on multiple responsibilities and experience high levels of distress. We aimed to deliver a nurse-led intervention (Care-IS) to carers to improve their preparedness to care and reduce distress. METHODS We conducted a randomised controlled trial (ACTRN:12612001147875). Carers of HGG patients were recruited during patients' combined chemoradiation treatment. The complex intervention comprised four components: (1) initial telephone assessment of carer unmet needs; (2) tailored hard-copy resource folder; (3) home visit; and, (4) monthly telephone support for up to 12 months. Primary outcomes included preparedness for caregiving and distress at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months. Intervention effects were estimated using linear mixed models which included a time by group interaction. Secondary outcomes included anxiety, depression, quality of life, carer competence and strain. RESULTS We randomised 188 carers (n = 98 intervention, n = 90 control). The intervention group reported significantly higher preparedness for caregiving at 4 months (model β = 2.85, 95% CI 0.76-4.93) and all follow-up timepoints including 12 months (model β = 4.35, 95% CI 2.08-6.62), compared to the control group. However, there was no difference between groups in carer distress or any secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS This intervention was effective in improving carer preparedness. However, carer distress was not reduced, potentially due to the debilitating/progressive nature of HGG and ongoing caring responsibilities. Future research must explore whether carer interventions can improve carer adjustment, self-efficacy and coping and how we support carers after bereavement. Additionally, research is needed to determine how to implement carer support into practice.

Abstract
Background There is an immunologic rationale to evaluate immunotherapy in the older glioblastoma population, who have been underrepresented in prior trials. The NUTMEG study evaluated the combination of nivolumab and temozolomide in patients with glioblastoma aged 65 years and older. Methods NUTMEG was a multicenter 2:1 randomized phase II trial for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma aged 65 years and older. The experimental arm consisted of hypofractionated chemoradiation with temozolomide, then adjuvant nivolumab and temozolomide. The standard arm consisted of hypofractionated chemoradiation with temozolomide, then adjuvant temozolomide. The primary objective was to improve overall survival (OS) in the experimental arm. Results A total of 103 participants were randomized, with 69 in the experimental arm and 34 in the standard arm. The median (range) age was 73 (65-88) years. After 37 months of follow-up, the median OS was 11.6 months (95% CI, 9.7-13.4) in the experimental arm and 11.8 months (95% CI, 8.3-14.8) in the standard arm. For the experimental arm relative to the standard arm, the OS hazard ratio was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.54-1.33). In the experimental arm, there were three grade 3 immune-related adverse events which resolved, with no unexpected serious adverse events. Conclusions Due to insufficient evidence of benefit with nivolumab, the decision was made not to transition to a phase III trial. No new safety signals were identified with nivolumab. This complements the existing series of immunotherapy trials. Research is needed to identify biomarkers and new strategies including combinations.

Abstract
(1) Background: Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcpO2) is used to determine the severity of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD). Many authors used a ratio of limb to chest TcpO2, also called the regional perfusion index (RPI), which should be independent of variations in oxygen delivery and reflective of local limb oxygen supply. The relevance of a reference probe-positioned TcpO2 electrode is debated. We aimed to review the relevance of the reference probe in previous studies using rest TcpO2. (2) Methods: We searched Medline and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials on 22 September 2022 using keywords related to TcpO2, reference probe and LEAD. (3) Results/Discussion: Fifteen studies were included in the review. Nine studies investigated LEAD severity (n = 9), amputation healing predication (n = 4), surgical outcome prediction (n = 2), therapeutic effect (n = 3) and difference according to diabetic status (n = 1). Four studies investigated more than 1 indication. Among 12 (16.7%) studies using RPI, only two authors found a benefit of using RPI instead of absolute TcpO2. Using only univariate analysis, one author reported that RPI was significantly related to viability at 1 year, while distal TcpO2 was not, on 13 limbs. The following year, the same author published a new study including 118 limbs that reported that RPI and absolute TcPO2 were both prognostic factors for limb viability at 1 year using a multivariate model. (4) Conclusions: Only one study firmly supporting the use of RPI, calculated using a reference probe on the arm, to predict BKA healing. Prospective studies are needed to validate this result; for other indications there is insufficient data supporting the use of a TcpO2 reference probe at rest.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Nivolumab is a PD-1 inhibitor with known safety profile. An increase in mutations as we age is well documented in glioblastoma and other cancers. Higher mutational load is associated with increased response to nivolumab in extracranial malignancies. NUTMEG examined the activity of nivolumab added to temozolomide in glioblastoma patients aged ≥ 65 years.
METHODS
NUTMEG was an international multicenter phase II trial for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients aged ≥ 65 years, randomized 2:1 to experimental (40Gy/15 fractions with temozolomide 75mg/m2, then 6 cycles of temozolomide 150-200mg/m2 D1-5 Q28D + nivolumab 240mg D1,15 Q28D C1-4 and 480mg D1 Q28D C5-6) versus standard arm (40Gy/15 fractions with temozolomide 75mg/m2, then 6 cycles of temozolomide alone 150-200mg/m2 D1-5 Q28D), stratified by age, ECOG status, MGMT status and resection extent.
RESULTS
103 patients were enrolled (69 in experimental arm, 34 in standard arm). Median age was 73 years, 36% ECOG 0, 57% MGMT-unmethylated and 51% gross macroscopic resection. Median follow-up is 31 months to date, with 77 deaths (surviving patients to continue follow-up and final results will be presented). Median overall survival was 11.8 months in the experimental arm versus 12.0 months in the standard arm (HR 0.95 95%CI 0.59-1.53 for experimental relative to control). Six-month progression-free survival rate using mRANO was 64% in the experimental arm versus 49% in the standard arm (HR 0.81 95%CI 0.51-1.26). Grade 3/4 adverse events were reported in 46% of experimental arm (7% lung infection, 7% thromboembolic events, 6% fatigue, 6% muscle weakness) and in 29% of control arm (9% fatigue, 6% seizure, 6% thromboembolic events).
CONCLUSIONS
There was insufficient evidence of clinical benefit with nivolumab in this population. No new safety signals were identified. Central imaging review is underway and correlative studies will characterize the immune landscape, including mutational load, neoantigen and other immune markers. NCT04195139.

Abstract
e18646 Background: With increasing focus on improving patient outcomes and decreasing narcotic use, healthcare has prioritized the use of multidisciplinary, multimodal, and evidence-based approaches to perioperative management through enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways. Currently, microsurgical breast reconstruction with or without concurrent mastectomy commonly may employ regional anesthesia in the preoperative and intraoperative techniques. To optimize perioperative analgesia, an ERAS protocol was piloted at a quaternary care academic center implementing a pre-operative anesthesia placed regional block with preference for anterior quadratum lumborum blocks. Methods: A total of 161 patients were enrolled in this single center Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) project. The project consisted of 72 baseline, 20 pilot, and 69 after pilot patients who underwent unilateral (n = 65) or bilateral (n = 96) deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction either immediately (n = 87) or delayed (n = 74) after mastectomy. In the 20 CQI pilot group, anesthesiologists pre-operatively placed bilateral anterior quadratus lumborum blocks (aQLB) under direct ultrasound guidance. After positively observed metrics, the official ERAS pathway was implemented into clinical practice, allowing for subsequent accrual of 69 additional patients. We compared this after pilot group to 72 baseline patients who underwent a surgeon-placed intraoperative transversus abdominus plane (TAP) block using liposomal bupivacaine. Statistics data was tracked using a dedicated clinical EMR dashboard. Baseline patients were matched to the after pilot cohort based on laterality and timing of DIEP flap reconstruction. Results: The ERAS pathway with anesthesia-placed aQLB was associated with lower post-operative daily opioid consumption from 27.2 MME to 10.2 MME. Average pain scores, post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) length of stay, hospital length of stay, as well as re-admissions and complications were not statistically different before and after the implementation of the ERAS pathway. Conclusions: Anesthesia placed pre-operative aQLB is a safe and effective opioid-reducing pain control modality for DIEP flap reconstruction with or without mastectomy. Prospective and controlled studies will be important for the precise impacts of aQLB in DIEP procedures in an ERAS protocol.[Table: see text]

Abstract
Background Carotid atherosclerotic plaques remain silent until their rupture, which may lead to detrimental ischemic events such as strokes. This is due, in part, to intraplaque hemorrhages (IPH) and the resulting inflammatory processes, which may promote carotid plaque vulnerability. Currently, the benefits of carotid endarterectomy remain unclear for asymptomatic patients. Interestingly, the completion of physical activity (PA) may have beneficial effects; however, the paucity of current data warrants robust longitudinal interventions. We therefore aim to study the effects of a 6-month longitudinal personalized home-based PA program on IPH, biological, and inflammatory markers in asymptomatic stroke patients. Methods Eighty patients (≥ 18 years old) will be recruited for the Physical Activity and Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Hemorrhage (PACAPh) clinical trial from the Hospices Civils de Lyon. Patients will be eligible if they present with carotid stenosis ≥ 50% and are asymptomatic from any ischemic events for at least 6 months. Recruited patients will be randomized into either a PA or a control group, and assessed at baseline and after 6 months. At both time points, all patients will be assessed using magnetic resonance imaging to assess IPH, blood sampling to measure inflammatory markers and monocytic phenotyping, PA and sedentary behavior questionnaires, 6-min walking test, and maximal isometric quadricep contraction test. The randomized PA intervention will consist of reaching a daily walking step goal individually tailored to each patient. Steps will be collected using a wirelessly connected wristband. The number of steps completed by individuals in the PA group will be re-evaluated bimonthly to encourage walking habits. Discussion The PACAPh study is the first of its kind representing a feasible, easily accessible therapeutic strategy for asymptomatic stroke patients. We hypothesize that the personalized home-based PA program will reduce IPH and modulate inflammatory and biological parameters in patients presenting with carotid plaques. If the results of the PACAPh study prove to be beneficial on such health parameters, the implementation of such kind of intervention in the daily treatment of these patients would be an advantageous and cost-effective practice to adopt globally. Trial registration This study has been approved by the National Ethics Committee (IDRCB:2019-A01543-54/SI:19.06.21.40640). ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04053166

Abstract
Some patients still require major amputation for lower extremity peripheral arterial disease treatment. The purpose of pre-operative amputation level selection is to determine the most distal amputation site with the highest healing probability without re-amputation. Transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2) can detect viable tissue with the highest probability of healing. Several factors affect the accuracy of TcPO2; nevertheless, surgeons rely on TcPO2 values to determine the optimal amputation level. Background about the development of TcPO2, methods of measurement, consequences of lower limb amputation level, and the place of TcPO2 in the choice of the amputation level are reviewed herein. Most of the retrospective studies indicated that calf TcPO2 values greater than 40 mmHg were associated with a high percentage of successful wound healing after below-knee-amputation, whereas values lower than 20 mmHg indicated an increased risk of unsuccessful healing. However, a consensus on the precise cut-off value of TcPO2 necessary to assure healing is missing. Ways of improvement for TcPO2 performance applied to the optimization of the amputation-level are reported herein. Further prospective data are needed to better approach a TcPO2 value that will promise an acceptable risk of re-amputation. Standardized TcPO2 measurement is crucial to ensure quality of data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The benefit of preventive treatment for superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenosis remains uncertain. The latest European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines remain unclear given the lack of data in the literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate asymptomatic SMA stenosis prognosis according to the presence of associated coeliac artery (CA) and/or inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) stenosis. METHODS This was a single academic centre retrospective study. The entire computed tomography (CT) database of a single tertiary hospital was reviewed from 2009 to 2016. Two groups were defined: patients with isolated > 70% SMA stenosis (group A) and patients with both SMA and CA and/or IMA > 70% stenosis (group B). Patient medical histories were reviewed to determine the occurrence of mesenteric disease (MD) defined as development of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) or chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI). RESULTS Seventy-seven patients were included. Median follow up was 39 months. There were 24 patients in group A and 53 patients in group B. In group B, eight (10.4%) patients developed MD with a median onset of 50 months. AMI occurred in five patients with a median of 33 months and CMI in three patients with a median of 88 months. Patients of group B developed more MD (0% vs. 15.1%; p = .052). The five year survival rate was 45% without significant difference between groups. CONCLUSION Patients with SMA stenosis associated with CA and/or IMA seem to have a higher risk of developing mesenteric ischaemia than patients with isolated SMA stenosis. Considering the low life expectancy of these patients, cardiovascular risk factor assessment and optimisation of medical treatment is essential. Preventive endovascular revascularisation could be discussed for patients with non-isolated > 70% SMA stenosis, taking into account life expectancy.

Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome novel coronavirus-2 pandemic is affecting almost every country in the world. Even if the major symptoms of coronavirus disease-2019 are respiratory, different symptoms at presentation are now recognized. Venous thromboembolism has been reported in infected patients and few but increasing cases of arterial thrombosis have been described. We report a case of acute aortoiliac and lower limb artery occlusions in a patient presenting with severe coronavirus disease-2019 infection. The mechanism of the occlusion seemed to be distal embolization from a floating thrombus in the aortic arch caused by a major inflammatory state and virus infection. The patient underwent aortoiliac and lower limb artery mechanical thrombectomy, but required unilateral major amputation.

Abstract
Vulnerable carotid atherosclerotic plaques are characterised by several risk factors, such as inflammation, neovascularization and intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH). Vulnerable plaques can lead to ischemic events such as stroke. Many studies reported a relationship between IPH, plaque rupture, and ischemic stroke. Histology is the gold standard to evaluate IPH, but it required carotid endarterectomy (CEA) surgery to collect the tissue sample. In this context, several imaging methods can be used as a non-invasive way to evaluate plaque vulnerability and detect IPH. Most imaging studies showed that IPH is associated with plaque vulnerability and stroke, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being the most sensitive and specific to detect IPH as a predictor of ischemic events. These conclusions are however still debated because of the limited number of patients included in these studies; further studies are required to better assess risks associated with different IPH stages. Moreover, IPH is implicated in plaque vulnerability with other risk factors which need to be considered to predict ischemic risk. In addition, MRI sequences standardization is required to compare results from different studies and agree on biomarkers that need to be considered to predict plaque rupture. In these circumstances, IPH detection by MRI could be an efficient clinical method to predict stroke. The goal of this review article is to first describe the pathophysiological process responsible for IPH, its histological detection in carotid plaques and its correlation with plaque rupture. The second part will discuss the benefits and limitations of imaging the carotid plaque, and finally the clinical interest of imaging IPH to predict plaque rupture, focusing on MRI-IPH.

Abstract
Background This is a retrospective review of synovial sarcoma (SS) patients treated over the last 12 years in Western Australia (WA). SS is both chemo and radiotherapy sensitive. Results of trials in adjuvant chemotherapy are conflicting and there is limited support for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The use of combined chemoradiotherapy is based on institutional preferences. Aim We reviewed the outcomes for SS patients treated in WA over a 12 year period focusing on patients who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT). Methods Patient details including demographics, histopathology, treatment details, were obtained from the WA sarcoma database (2006‐2018). Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were derived for whole cohort. Results Twenty seven patients were identified with SS with equal gender incidence. Median age of the cohort was 36 (14‐76) years. The most common primary site of disease was extremity (81.5%). 22/27 patients presented with only localized disease and 59.2% of these received neo‐adjuvant treatment. Of those who received neoadjuvant treatment, 56.2% had NACRT, while 25.0% and 18.7% of patients had chemotherapy and radiotherapy respectively. Mesna, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, dacarbazine (MAID) was the most commonly used chemotherapy regimen as neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment while ifosfamide (93.7%) was the most commonly used chemotherapy drug in any setting. There was no reported case of disease progression in group of patients who received NACRT apart from one patient who had oligometastatic disease at diagnosis. Median OS of the whole cohort was 38 months while median PFS was 24 months. Bone marrow toxicity was the most commonly reported high grade toxicity in NACRT group (55.5%) but there were no treatment related deaths. Conclusion NACRT is not widely adopted and treatment is based on institutional preferences, however our data shows that NACRT is a feasible therapy option.

Abstract
Background We describe this case of a young gentleman presenting with acute dyspnoea on a background history of known, long-standing asthma. His dramatic presentation, notable for profound hypoxia and cyanosis, led to an unexpected additional diagnosis of type one congenital methaemoglobinaemia. Case presentation A 26-year-old Irish gentleman was transferred urgently to the emergency department resuscitation room with marked cyanosis and tachypnoea. His oxygen saturation was 70% on 100% high flow oxygen. His arterial blood gas (On Fi02 90%) demonstrated a PaO2 = 76.8 kPa, SpO2 = 99%, pCO2 = 3 kPa and pH = 7.51. A saturation gap was evident and on further analysing the arterial blood gas, the methaemoglobin level was noted to be 28%. No contributing drugs were identified. Our patient was diagnosed with type one congenital methaemoglobinaemia. He recovered well from this admission, however, has had recurrent presentations to hospital since with high methaemoglobin levels noted on each occasion. Discussion Congenital methemoglobinemia is a rare, often overlooked differential diagnosis in patients presenting with cyanosis and dyspnoea. This is the only case, to our knowledge, of a patient with both asthma and congenital methaemoglobinaemia. Congenital methaemoglobinaemia was first described in 1943 by Dr Deeny who described two siblings as suffering from 'Familial Idiopathic Methaemoglobinaemia'. The case we present is the first reported Irish case of congenital methaemoglobinaemia, we are aware of, since 1943.Current treatment strategies include high-flow oxygen, methylene blue infusion (contraindicated in glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency) and red cell exchange transfusions in the emergency setting whilst oral ascorbic acid and riboflavin are preventative.

Abstract
Rupture of a chronic thrombosed or excluded popliteal arterial aneurysm is rare, but has been previously reported in the literature. The management of a ruptured thrombosed popliteal aneurysm, in a context of chronic limb ischemia, raises the problem of latent ischemia and its outcome. In this case report, we present the first case of a ruptured thrombosed popliteal aneurysm in a patient presenting chronic ischemia.

Abstract
The aim of this pilot study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of a family carer intervention for carers of patients with high-grade glioma (HGG). The intervention consisted of: (1) an initial telephone assessment of carer needs; (2) a personalised tabbed resource file; (3) nurse-led home visit; and (4) ongoing telephone support. Two consumer representatives reviewed the intervention resources. The intervention was then piloted with participants who were the primary carer for patients undergoing treatment for HGG in Western Australia. Two consumers provided feedback on the resource, and 10 carers participated in the pilot. Positive feedback was received about the resource manual and intervention. Suggestions were also made for changes which were implemented into the trial. The surveys were shortened based on feedback. Participants identified a large range of issues during nursing assessments which would not otherwise be identified or addressed for carers receiving routine care. As a result of providing the intervention, the nurse was able to make referrals to address needs that were identified. This pilot study enabled us to refine and test the Care-IS intervention and test the feasibility and acceptability of proposed survey instruments. We were also able to estimate recruitment and retention and the overall study timeline required for the randomised controlled trial we are now conducting. It has also demonstrated the role of the nurse who delivered the intervention and allowed us to refine communication and referral pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD), transcutaneous oximetry at exercise (Ex-TcpO2) has been largely validated in research practice, but evidence of routine practice in various vascular laboratories is missing. We hypothesized that Ex-TcPO2 would change the diagnosis hypotheses, investigations and treatments for patients referred for exertional limb pain. MATERIAL & METHODS A multicenter prospective trial was conducted in nine different referral centers. Investigators performed Ex-TcpO2 and recorded investigations and treatments already scheduled for the patient. We encoded referral physician's diagnostic hypothesis. Before Ex-TcpO2, vascular physicians were asked to give their diagnosis hypotheses. A minimal decrease from rest of oxygen pressure (DROP)<minus 15mmHg defined the presence of exercise-induced ischemia on the area of interest. After Ex-TcPO2, we recorded post-test diagnostic hypothesis and investigations and treatments to be cancelled or performed. We compared the diagnosis hypotheses, scheduled investigations and treatments, before and after the Ex-TcpO2. RESULTS We included 603 patients (485 males: 80.4%), aged 64.7±9.8years. The post-test diagnosis hypothesis differed in 266 patients (44.1%; p<0.0001) and in 96 patients (15.9%) from the pre-test hypothesis of referring and vascular physician, respectively. This led to the recommendation to cancel 27 scheduled investigations or treatments of a total cost of ~130,000 euros. DISCUSSION Ex-TcPO2 in patients with exertional limb pain is applicable in various vascular institutions, and significantly modifies the diagnostic hypotheses and impacts scheduled investigations or treatments of patients with exertional limb pain.

Abstract
Duplex ultrasonography screening for renal artery stenosis has been the object of guidelines published by four societies designed to optimize the cost-effectiveness of the examination. OBJECTIVES To determine how well guideline indications for ultrasonography matched with requests and results in our university hospital; to determine whether compliance with guidelines was predictive of renal artery stenosis; to identify guidelines predictive of presence of stenosis; and to determine whether other predictive factors can be recognized. MATERIAL AND METHODS Requests and results of 450 Duplex ultrasonography examinations of the renal arteries performed from January 1st 2014 to December 31st 2015 were compared with published guidelines. RESULTS At least one guideline indication was identified for 212 of the 450 examinations performed (47.1%). Among these examinations, renal artery stenosis≥70% was identified in 18 patients (8.0%). No case of stenosis was identified during examinations performed outside guideline indications. Factors predictive of stenosis were: compliance with guidelines (OR=21.86 [2.88; 165.8]). Predictive guidelines were: resistant hypertension in spite of appropriate treatment (OR=3.85, [1.44; 10.33], P=0.011), accelerated hypertension (OR=7.30, [1.40; 37.99], P=0.049), sudden unexplained pulmonary edema (OR=7.30, [1.40; 37.99], P=0.049), unexplained renal insufficiency (OR=3.58, [1.37; 9.37], P=0.011), unexplained renal hypotrophy (OR=16.69, [4.38; 63.69], P<0.001), renal asymmetry (OR=4.32, [1.45; 12.85], P<0.016). No other factor was predictive of renal stenosis. These examinations had therapeutic consequences in only 50% of patients. CONCLUSION This study confirms the relevance of published guidelines. The diagnostic-effectiveness of Duplex ultrasonography examinations to search for renal artery stenosis depends upon compliance with these guidelines.

Abstract
Our aim was to examine the clinicopathological features of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity and oropharynx in a group of young patients who were dignosed during a 15-year period (2000-2014). Patients' clinical details, risk factors, and survival were obtained from medical records. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, tissue was tested for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). The results were compared with those of a matching group of older patients. We identified 91 patients who were younger than 45 years old, and the 50 youngest patients were studied in detail. The male:female ratio was 2:1, with more tumours located in the oral cavity than in the oropharynx (35 compared with 15). HPV-related SCC was restricted to the oropharynx. When matched for site, stage and HPV status, five-year overall survival was similar in young and matched older patients (log-rank test, p=0.515). Our findings suggest that young patients with oral SCC have a disease profile similar to that of older patients with the condition. It is plausible that prognostic information generally available for oral cancers is applicable to young patients with the disease.

Abstract
AIMS This two phase study aimed to explore health care professionals' teaching and prescribing practice related to intermittent catheterisation and to identify their perceptions about the possible implementation of a mixed (single and multi-use) package for intermittent catheterization. INTRODUCTION Single-use intermittent catheters are the norm in the UK although multi-use is common in some other countries. A recent Cochrane review found no difference in complications, including urinary tract infection rates, between those using single or multi-use catheters. A flexible option of both multi-use and single use intermittent catheters could provide users with more flexible choices in self-care. However, understanding health care professionals' perspectives is one of the keys to developing a multi-use intervention. DESIGN A qualitative research framework using in-depth interviews to inform an on line survey. METHOD In-depth interviews were conducted with health care professionals based in the UK who prescribe catheters, teach intermittent catheterisation or manage an intermittent catheterisation service. The interviewees were selected to represent a range of clinical areas, experience and professions - continence advisors, urology, multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury specialist nurses, and General Practitioners. Following framework analysis the themes and factors identified were used to develop an on-line survey which was disseminated through health care professional networks whose members saw patients who use intermittent catheters. RESULTS Nineteen health care professionals participated in the telephone interviews; 206 completed the survey. A wide range of professionals in terms of experience and specialty afforded rich information regarding the contextual issues around the teaching and prescribing of intermittent catheters. The primary finding was that health care professionals were concerned about 'minimising health risk' and maximising 'normalcy' for those using intermittent self-catheterisation. Health care professionals who worked in the acute setting or had no experience of re-use were most resistant to the re-use of catheters. Professionals requested evidence that a multi-use package would not increase the risk of developing a urinary tract infection or increase the burden of use to a patient before a mixed package would be considered. CONCLUSIONS For multi-use to be acceptable, evidence based guidelines must be available for healthcare professionals and cleaning methods must be acceptable and safe for intermittent catheter users. Further evidence may be required to establish that a mixed catheter package is equivalent to single use only, particularly for outcomes such as urinary tract infection, urethral injury and quality of life. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This paper highlights that if multi-use catheters are to be successfully introduced into clinical practice, the ease of use, safety and effectiveness of the cleaning technique will need to be convincingly demonstrated by a range of well-defined users.

Abstract
The maximum diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a key quantification parameter for disease assessment. Although it is routinely measured on 2D-ultrasound images, using a volumetric approach is expected to improve measurement reproducibility. In this work, 3D-ultrasound or computed tomography imaging of patients with AAA was combined with a minimally interactive 3D segmentation based on implicit template deformation. Segmentation usability and reproducibility were evaluated on 81 patients, showing a mean measurement time of [2;8]min per case, and Dice coefficients of 0.87±0.12 for 3D-US and 0.81±0.08 for CT. Quantification parameters included a diameter measurement from 3D-US and CT volumes with respective confidence intervals of 0.51 [-2.5;3.52]mm and 1.00 [-1.68;3.67]mm. Additional volume measurements showed confidence intervals of 0.91 [-4.17;5.99]ml for 3D-US and 4.10 [-4.11;12.30]ml for CT.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this study, we attempt to determine the clinical characteristic and risk factors of postoperative pneumonia (POP) after hip fracture surgery in a well-defined hip fracture cohort. We find that intrinsic factors as well as major clinical interventions were all important risk factors of POP. INTRODUCTION Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is one of the major complications following hip fractures surgery. However, the risk factors of POP are not well studied in hip fracture cohorts. We attempt to determine the clinical characteristic and risk factors of POP after hip fracture surgery in a well-defined hip fracture cohort. METHODS Datasets from a prospective hip fracture cohort study with a 2-year follow-up period, from 2000 to 2011, were reanalyzed for characteristics of POP. Multivariate Cox proportional regression was used to evaluate the association between the incidence of POP and all-cause mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was used to screen for potential risk factors of POP by analyzing demographic factors, comorbidities, major clinical interventions, and hematological parameters. RESULTS In 1429 patients who underwent hip surgery, the incidence of POP was 4.9 % (n = 70). All-cause mortality of patients with POP was significantly higher than that of patients without POP at 30 days (hazard ratio (HR) 3.05, 95 % confidence intervals (CI) 1.88-4.94), 1 year (HR 1.87, 95 % CI 1.41-2.48), and 2 years (HR 1.57, 95 % CI 1.23-1.99) postoperatively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that intrinsic factors (advanced age, anemia, diabetes, prior stroke, number of comorbidities, ASA score ≥III, and some laboratory biomarkers) as well as major clinical interventions were all significant risk factors for POP. CONCLUSION Intrinsic factors and major clinical interventions were all important risk factors of POP in patients after hip fracture surgery. Targeted preventive measures to mitigate the above risk factors may help in reducing the incidence of POP.

Abstract
Retrograde signaling is a mechanism by which mitochondrial dysfunction is communicated to the nucleus for inducing a metabolic shift essential for cell survival. Previously we showed that partial mtDNA depletion in different cell types induced mitochondrial retrograde signaling pathway (MtRS) involving Ca+2 sensitive Calcineurin (Cn) activation as an immediate upstream event of stress response. In multiple cell types, this stress signaling was shown to induce tumorigenic phenotypes in immortalized cells. In this study we show that MtRS also induces p53 expression which was abrogated by Ca2+ chelators and shRNA mediated knock down of CnAβ mRNA. Mitochondrial dysfunction induced by mitochondrial ionophore, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) and other respiratory inhibitors, which perturb the transmembrane potential, were equally efficient in inducing the expression of p53 and downregulation of MDM2. Stress-induced p53 physically interacted with HIF-1α and attenuated the latter’s binding to promoter DNA motifs. Additionally, p53 promoted ubiquitination and degradation of HIF-1α in partial mtDNA depleted cells. The mtDNA depleted cells, with inhibited HIF-1α, showed upregulation of glycolytic pathway genes, glucose transporter 1–4 (Glut1–4), phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) and Glucokinase (GSK) but not of prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) isoforms. For the first time we show that p53 is induced as part of MtRS and it renders HIF-1α inactive by physical interaction. In this respect our results show that MtRS induces tumor growth independent of HIF-1α pathway.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW) and a combination of RDW and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score for long-term hip fracture mortality remains unknown. Our data showed that both RDW and ASA were independent risk predictors. A combination of these two parameters may provide a more powerful strategy for the prediction of hip fracture mortality. INTRODUCTION Red cell distribution width (RDW) has recently been suggested as an independent predictor of prognosis in a variety of disorders. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) system has been widely used to stratify patients for outcome evaluations. However, the prognostic value of RDW and a combination of RDW and the ASA score for long-term hip fracture mortality has yet to be studied. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 1402 subjects from 2000 to 2011 with a follow-up study over a 2 year period. Cox proportional hazards models with a bootstrap validation were used to evaluate associations of RDW, ASA, and a combination of both with long-term mortality. The global fit and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for model discrimination were further analyzed. RESULTS Both RDW and ASA exhibited as independent risk predictors of 2-year mortality. The population with elevation of either RDW or ASA increased the risk of mortality (bootstrap validated hazard ratio (HR) 1.971 95 % confidence interval (CI) [1.336-3.005] p < 0.01) while those with an increase in both assessments (bootstrap validated HR 2.667 95 % CI [1.526-4.515] p < 0.01) were at the highest risk for mortality. The addition of the combination of ASA and RDW improved the discrimination power of risk prediction models (AUC increased from 0.700 to 0.723, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Both RDW and ASA exhibited as independent risk predictors of 2-year hip fracture mortality. The combination of these two readily available parameters may provide a more powerful and effective strategy for the assessment of all-cause mortality in hip fracture patients.
