Abstract
We report on a measurement of astrophysical tau neutrinos with 9.7 yr of IceCube data. Using convolutional neural networks trained on images derived from simulated events, seven candidate ν_{τ} events were found with visible energies ranging from roughly 20 TeV to 1 PeV and a median expected parent ν_{τ} energy of about 200 TeV. Considering backgrounds from astrophysical and atmospheric neutrinos, and muons from π^{±}/K^{±} decays in atmospheric air showers, we obtain a total estimated background of about 0.5 events, dominated by non-ν_{τ} astrophysical neutrinos. Thus, we rule out the absence of astrophysical ν_{τ} at the 5σ level. The measured astrophysical ν_{τ} flux is consistent with expectations based on previously published IceCube astrophysical neutrino flux measurements and neutrino oscillations.

Abstract
In the present study, we aimed to conduct a literature review and meta-analysis to assess the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on SBP and DBP levels in individuals with hypertension and hypovitaminosis D. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO were systematically searched for relevant publications until January 2023. The review has been registered at PROSPERO (CRD42023400035). To compare the effects of vitamin D with placebo, the mean differences with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were pooled based on the random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed to identify the source of heterogeneity, and assessment of study quality was conducted using the GRADE approach. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots and Egger's tests. In total, 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this systematic review, and 11 trials were selected for meta-analysis. The data showed that Vitamin D significantly decreased SBP levels; however, it did not affect DBP levels. In subgroup analysis, Vitamin D supplementation significantly decreased in SBP in studies involving individuals over 60 years of age, with a dose greater than 400 000 IU, duration greater than 8 weeks, frequency of weekly supplementation in studies conducted in Asia. In addition, subgroup analysis revealed a significant reduction in DBP in the weekly frequency subgroups and in the studies carried out in Asia. This meta-analysis indicated that Vitamin D significantly reduced the SBP in individuals with hypertension and hypovitaminosis D. Further, well designed trials are necessary to validate these results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral health promotion initiatives must be evidence-based and consistent with broader health messaging. The Oral Health Messages for the Australian Public were first produced in 2009 and sought to enable a focused, and strategic approach to oral health promotion in Australia. As the evidence base and needs of the Australian population have since changed, this consensus statement was updated in 2022-2023. METHODS The process of updating the messages consisted of 3 phases (preparatory phase, the Delphi technique, final revision phase). The preparatory phase included public and expert consultation, an umbrella review of published scientific literature and review of available recommendations, policies and guidelines. The Delphi technique used in this study was guided by Guidance on Conducting and REporting DElphi Studies (CREDES) and included 2 voting rounds. There were 70 experts in round 1 and 60 experts in round 2. Delphi participants comprised of experts from a variety of fields to ensure diversity and inclusion, balance expertise and maximize stakeholder representation. Consensus was defined as 75% agreement. RESULTS A total of 11 messages were included in the 2022 update of Oral Health Messages for Australia. CONCLUSION The updated oral health messages will support oral health promotion policy and activity at both individual and population level to improve the oral health of Australians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a prevalent condition, and how it is managed varies greatly between professional groups. AIM To explore, and compare, the UK and Australian general dental practitioners' management of MIH in children. DESIGN Face-to-face (remote) semistructured interviews were undertaken, using country-specific topic guides. Participants were purposively sampled and recruited through national conferences and research networks (eviDent Foundation and Northern Dental Practice Based Research Network). Interviews (from each country) were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and independently analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS Two major themes arose from the UK interviews: (i) decision-making complexities and understanding of treatment options and (ii) need for specialist input. The main Australian themes were (i) multidisciplinary approach to management supporting decision-making complexities and (ii) economic implications for care. Several difficulties, such as financial implications, multidisciplinary care and clinical decision-making, were identified as barriers to effectively managing MIH by GDPs in primary care. CONCLUSION There are similarities and differences in the knowledge and management of MIH amongst UK and Australian nonspecialists. The different healthcare systems played a significant role in shaping how GDPs manage MIH with barriers relating to affordability, multidisciplinary care and clinical decision-making.

Abstract
We report on the first search for nuclear recoils from dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with the XENONnT experiment, which is based on a two-phase time projection chamber with a sensitive liquid xenon mass of 5.9 ton. During the (1.09±0.03) ton yr exposure used for this search, the intrinsic ^{85}Kr and ^{222}Rn concentrations in the liquid target are reduced to unprecedentedly low levels, giving an electronic recoil background rate of (15.8±1.3) events/ton yr keV in the region of interest. A blind analysis of nuclear recoil events with energies between 3.3 and 60.5 keV finds no significant excess. This leads to a minimum upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section of 2.58×10^{-47} cm^{2} for a WIMP mass of 28 GeV/c^{2} at 90% confidence level. Limits for spin-dependent interactions are also provided. Both the limit and the sensitivity for the full range of WIMP masses analyzed here improve on previous results obtained with the XENON1T experiment for the same exposure.

Abstract
Multiple viable theoretical models predict heavy dark matter particles with a mass close to the Planck mass, a range relatively unexplored by current experimental measurements. We use 219.4 days of data collected with the XENON1T experiment to conduct a blind search for signals from multiply interacting massive particles (MIMPs). Their unique track signature allows a targeted analysis with only 0.05 expected background events from muons. Following unblinding, we observe no signal candidate events. This Letter places strong constraints on spin-independent interactions of dark matter particles with a mass between 1×10^{12} and 2×10^{17} GeV/c^{2}. In addition, we present the first exclusion limits on spin-dependent MIMP-neutron and MIMP-proton cross sections for dark matter particles with masses close to the Planck scale.

Abstract
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays, atomic nuclei that continuously impact Earth's atmosphere, is unknown. Because of deflection by interstellar magnetic fields, cosmic rays produced within the Milky Way arrive at Earth from random directions. However, cosmic rays interact with matter near their sources and during propagation, which produces high-energy neutrinos. We searched for neutrino emission using machine learning techniques applied to 10 years of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By comparing diffuse emission models to a background-only hypothesis, we identified neutrino emission from the Galactic plane at the 4.5σ level of significance. The signal is consistent with diffuse emission of neutrinos from the Milky Way but could also arise from a population of unresolved point sources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thymic malignancies are rare intrathoracic tumors, which may be aggressive and difficult to treat. They represent a therapeutic challenge in the advanced/metastatic setting, with limited treatment options after the failure of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. They are frequently associated with autoimmune disorders that also impact oncological management. MATERIALS AND METHODS NIVOTHYM is an international, multicenter, phase II, two-cohort, single-arm trial evaluating the activity and safety of nivolumab [240 mg intravenously (i.v.) q2 weeks] alone or with ipilimumab (1 mg /kg i.v. q6 weeks) in patients with advanced/relapsed type B3 thymoma or thymic carcinoma, after exposure to platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival rate at 6 months (PFSR-6) based on RECIST 1.1 as per independent radiological review. RESULTS From April 2018 to February 2020, 55 patients were enrolled in 15 centers from 5 countries. Ten patients (18%) had type B3 thymoma and 43 (78%) had thymic carcinoma. The majority were male (64%), and the median age was 58 years. Among the 49 eligible patients who started treatment, PFSR-6 by central review was 35% [95% confidence interval (CI) 22% to 50%]. The overall response rate and disease control rate were 12% (95% CI 5% to 25%) and 63% (95% CI 48% to 77%), respectively. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, median progression-free survival and overall survival by local assessment were 6.0 (95% CI 3.1-10.4) months and 21.3 (95% CI 11.6-not estimable) months, respectively. In the safety population of 54 patients, adverse events (AEs) of grade 1/2 were observed in 22 (41%) patients and grade 3/4 in 31 (57%) patients. Treatment-related AEs of grade 4 included one case of neutropenia, one case of immune-mediated transaminitis, and two cases of myocarditis. CONCLUSIONS Nivolumab monotherapy demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and objective activity, although it has been insufficient to meet its primary objective. The second cohort of NIVOTHYM is currently ongoing to assess the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab.

Abstract
Summary Hereditary α-tryptasemia (HαT) is a common autosomal dominant genetic trait with variable penetrance associated with increased serum baseline tryptase (SBT) levels. Clinical manifestations may range from an absence of symptoms to overtly severe and recurrent anaphylaxis. Symptoms have been claimed to result from excessive activation of EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 2 (EMR2) and protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) receptors by α/β-tryptase heterotetramers. Herein, we aimed to review the evidence on whether HαT can be considered a hereditary risk factor or a modifying factor for anaphylaxis. Increased SBT levels have been linked to an increased risk of anaphylaxis. Likewise, recent studies have shown that HαT might be associated with a higher risk of developing anaphylaxis and more severe anaphylaxis. The same has also been shown for patients with clonal mast cell disorders, in whom the co-existence of HαT might lead to a greater propensity for severe, potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. However, studies leading to such conclusions are generally limited in sample size, while other studies have shown opposing results. As such, further studies investigating the potential association of HαT with anaphylaxis caused by different triggers, and different severity grades, in both patients with clonal mast cell (MC) activation syndromes and the general population are still needed.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate fundamental biological processes by silencing mRNA targets and are dysregulated in many diseases. Therefore, miRNA replacement or inhibition can be harnessed as potential therapeutics. However, existing strategies for miRNA modulation using oligonucleotides and gene therapies are challenging, especially for neurological diseases, and none have yet gained clinical approval. We explore a different approach by screening a biodiverse library of small molecule compounds for their ability to modulate hundreds of miRNAs in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons. We demonstrate the utility of the screen by identifying cardiac glycosides as potent inducers of miR-132, a key miRNA downregulated in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. Coordinately, cardiac glycosides downregulate known miR-132 targets, including Tau, and protect rodent and human neurons against various toxic insults. More generally, our dataset of 1370 drug-like compounds and their effects on the miRNome provide a valuable resource for further miRNA-based drug discovery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Set-up skin markings are performed, in several centers, for radiotherapy (RT) treatments. This study aimed to compare two permanent methods: lancets and an electric marking pen, the Comfort Marker 2.0® (CM). METHODS This was a prospective, unicentric, randomized study. Patients aged 18 years or older referred to our department to receive RT were recruited. Patients were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive set-up markings using lancets or CM. The markings arrangement followed our departmental protocols. The coprimary endpoints were patients' comfort and effectiveness. Secondary endpoints included radiation therapists (RTTs) satisfaction and cosmesis. RESULTS Between October 2021 and January 2022, 100 patients were enrolled (50 received lancets and 50 CM) and assessed for the comfort and satisfaction outcomes. CM was significantly less painful than the lancets, with 44% and 16% of the patients, respectively, considering the tattooing process painless (RR = 2.75; 95% IC: 1.36 - 5.58). On the RTT-reported satisfaction, CM had significantly easier processes than lancets (98.0% vs. 78.0%, respectively; RR = 1.26; 95% CI: 1.08 - 1.46). For effectiveness and cosmesis assessment, 98 patients were analyzed (48 received lancets and 50 CM). Patients receiving CM had a significantly higher proportion of markings graded as good and excellent compared to those receiving lancets (98.0% and 50.0%, respectively, had ≥75% of the tattoos assessed as good/excellent, RR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.47 - 2.61). On the cosmetic evaluation, patients receiving CM had significantly better cosmetic markings, with a median score of 4.4 (vs. 3.5 for lancets, p <0.001). CONCLUSION The trial results demonstrated that tattooing with the CM is significantly less painful, more effective, easier to apply, and cosmetically superior to tattooing with lancets. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Tattooing with CM allows for better results regarding pain, quality, ease and cosmesis.

Abstract
A supermassive black hole, obscured by cosmic dust, powers the nearby active galaxy NGC 1068. Neutrinos, which rarely interact with matter, could provide information on the galaxy’s active core. We searched for neutrino emission from astrophysical objects using data recorded with the IceCube neutrino detector between 2011 and 2020. The positions of 110 known gamma-ray sources were individually searched for neutrino detections above atmospheric and cosmic backgrounds. We found that NGC 1068 has an excess of

neutrinos at tera–electron volt energies, with a global significance of 4.2σ, which we interpret as associated with the active galaxy. The flux of high-energy neutrinos that we measured from NGC 1068 is more than an order of magnitude higher than the upper limit on emissions of tera–electron volt gamma rays from this source.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive, uncommon malignancy, with variation in operative approaches adopted across centres and few large-scale studies to guide practice. We aimed to identify the extent of heterogeneity in GBC internationally to better inform the need for future multicentre studies. METHODS A 34-question online survey was disseminated to members of the European-African Hepatopancreatobiliary Association (EAHPBA), American Hepatopancreatobiliary Association (AHPBA) and Asia-Pacific Hepatopancreatobiliary Association (A-PHPBA) regarding practices around diagnostic workup, operative approach, utilization of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies and surveillance strategies. RESULTS Two hundred and three surgeons responded from 51 countries. High liver resection volume units (>50 resections/year) organised HPB multidisciplinary team discussion of GBCs more commonly than those with low volumes (p < 0.0001). Management practices exhibited areas of heterogeneity, particularly around operative extent. Contrary to consensus guidelines, anatomical liver resections were favoured over non-anatomical resections for T3 tumours and above, lymphadenectomy extent was lower than recommended, and a minority of respondents still routinely excised the common bile duct or port sites. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest some similarities in the management of GBC internationally, but also specific areas of practice which differed from published guidelines. Transcontinental collaborative studies on GBC are necessary to establish evidence-based practice to minimise variation and optimise outcomes.

Abstract
We report on a blinded analysis of low-energy electronic recoil data from the first science run of the XENONnT dark matter experiment. Novel subsystems and the increased 5.9 ton liquid xenon target reduced the background in the (1, 30) keV search region to (15.8±1.3) events/(ton×year×keV), the lowest ever achieved in a dark matter detector and ∼5 times lower than in XENON1T. With an exposure of 1.16 ton-years, we observe no excess above background and set stringent new limits on solar axions, an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment, and bosonic dark matter.

Abstract
We present a search for an unstable sterile neutrino by looking for a resonant signal in eight years of atmospheric ν_{μ} data collected from 2011 to 2019 at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Both the (stable) three-neutrino and the 3+1 sterile neutrino models are disfavored relative to the unstable sterile neutrino model, though with p values of 2.8% and 0.81%, respectively, we do not observe evidence for 3+1 neutrinos with neutrino decay. The best-fit parameters for the sterile neutrino with decay model from this study are Δm_{41}^{2}=6.7_{-2.5}^{+3.9} eV^{2}, sin^{2}2θ_{24}=0.33_{-0.17}^{+0.20}, and g^{2}=2.5π±1.5π, where g is the decay-mediating coupling. The preferred regions of the 3+1+decay model from short-baseline oscillation searches are excluded at 90% C.L.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Low-flow status, currently defined as a stroke volume index (SVi) <35 mL/m2, is an important prognostic predictor for mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis (SAS). However, transaortic flow rate (FR) – defined as stroke volume divided by left ventricle ejection time - has recently been suggested to be superior to SVi in defining low-flow states, as it reflects more closely valvular resistance, while being independent of body surface area. Low FR is most consistently defined as FR<200 mL/s.
Purpose
Determine the prognostic impact of FR and SVi before TAVI in survival after intervention for SAS.
Methods
A single-centre retrospective database of all TAVI performed between 2011 and 2019 was analyzed, and cases with pre-intervention echocardiograms available were included. Low-flow patients were identified according to basal FR (<200 mL/s) or SVi (<35 mL/m2), and compared with normal-flow cases. The primary endpoint was defined as time to all-cause death or last follow-up. The impact of flow-status (using FR or SVi) in survival was assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test, as well as Cox proportional hazard model adjusted for EuroSCORE II, using FR or SVi either as categorical or continuous variables. A subanalysis further compared patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction (EF, <52%). p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
From 657 TAVI performed, 490 (74.6%) cases were included, with a median follow-up of 43 months. From those, 59.6% were defined as low-flow according to FR, and 43.3% using SVi. Low-flow patients, using each parameter, were of higher surgical risk (EuroSCORE II and STS scores), had more advanced NYHA classes, worse estimated creatinine clearance, and suffered more frequently from coronary artery disease. Low-FR patients were also older, and more predominantly female. Atrial fibrillation was more prevalent among low SVi cases. Functional aortic valve area was lower in low-flow patients using both assessments, but low-SVi was also associated with lower transaortic gradients, as well as lower EF before and after TAVI. Regarding all-cause mortality, low-SVi was associated with worse survival [p=0.02, hazard ratio (HR) 1.43 (1.05–1.94)], but not low-FR (p=0.4). However, low-SVi, when adjusted for EuroScore II, was no longer a predictor of all-cause mortality (p=0.08). When considering FR and SVi as continuous variables, a higher SVi (but not FR) was associated with better survival (HR 0.98, p=0.047) in multivariable analysis adjusted for EuroSCORE II. When stratifying according to preserved and reduced EF, both FR and SVi did not predict all-cause mortality.
Conclusions
Low-flow states are common in SAS population treated with TAVI, being frequently associated with worse symptoms and higher procedural risk. Low-SVi, but not low-FR, negatively impacts survival after intervention, representing a marker for prognosis after TAVI.

Abstract
Introduction
Acute kidney injury (AKI) due to contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and is associated with prolonged hospitalizations and elevated cardio and renovascular morbidity. Scientific evidence demonstrates that the mean volume of contrast (VolC) and ratio with creatinine clearance (CrCl) (VolC/CrCl) are independent predictors of CIN, but the accepted optimal value remains controversial.
Objective
Population characterization. To evaluate whether the calculation of VolC using the VolC/ClCr ratio <3.7 used in our Cath lab during PCI of ACS allows preventing the development of AKI by CIN, and whether the development of early vs late AKI influences outcomes.
Methods
Retrospective study between 2017/2020, composed of n=378 patients who suffered ACS. Descriptve analysis was carried out regarding the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients. Chi-Square test was used for categorical variables and the T-Student test for numerical variables, with a significance level of 95%.
Results
A total of 378 patients were identified, with a mean age of 64.5±11.2 years, 78.6% were male. 60.1% had hypertension, 48.4% dyslipidemia, 24.3% diabetes, 2.6% chronic renal failure (CRF) and 1.6% heart failure. Of these, 12.7% developed AKI (<24h in 1.9% vs ≥24h in 10,8%). Indepedent prognostic factors for development of AKI were smokers (AKI ≥24h 7 (4.8%) vs AKI<24h 2 (1.4%), p=0.001), diabetes (AKI≥24h 17 (19%) vs AKI <24h 2 (2.2%), p=0.007), CRF (AKI ≥24h 6 (60%) vs AKI <24h 1 (10%), p=0.001), CrCl (AKI ≥24h 65.8±27.1, p=0.001), ratio VolC/CrCl (AKI ≥24h 3.3±2.5, p=0.001) and LVEF (AKI ≥24h 51.4±9.7, p=0.001). Mortality afected 4.2% of the patients, and was more frequente in AKI subjects (AKI ≥24h 7 (70%) vs AKI <24h 1 (10%), p=0.001). Using a ratio <3.7 allowed to prevent AK <24h but not AKI ≥24h (AKI <24h ratio <3.7 = 3 (1%) vs ratio ≥3.7 = 9 (4.1%), p=0.001) (AKI ≥24 ratio <3.7 = 30 (25%) vs ratio ≥3.7 = 11 (9.7%), p=0.001). A ratio <2.0 allowed to prevent both early and late AKI (AKI <24h ratio <2.0 = 0 (0%) vs ratio ≥2.0 = 7 (4.5%), p=0.001) (AKI ≥24 ratio <2.0 = 11 (5.6%) vs ratio ≥2.0 = 30 (19.1%), p=0.001).
Conclusion
In patients submitted to ACS PCI, the development of AKI increases mortality, especial if AKI emerge after 24h. We report a more suitable ratio VolC/ClCr <2.0, that allow us to calculate a safe VolC that will help to prevent both early and late AKI in selected patients wtih ACS.

Abstract
Background
Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the main valvular heart diseases in developed countries. Degenerative fibrocalcific aortic stenosis is a progressive disease of the valve and ultimately of the myocardium, which can be fatal when symptomatic. There is no medical treatment that can halt or delay its progression. AS does not evolve linearly over time, and not every patient has the same progression rate.
Aims
The aim of this study is to 1) compare different mathematical models of aortic stenosis progression, 2) cluster patients into rapid and slow progressors and explore possible predictors, 4) evaluate the impact of different progression rates on cardiac structure and function, and 5) evaluate survival and optimal timing for follow-up and treatment.
Methods
We retrospectively studied consecutive patients with aortic peak velocities from 2012 to 2020. Follow-up echocardiograms, seriated biomarker assessment, and clinical records were consulted, providing a multiparametric data frame for longitudinal and dynamic modeling of aortic stenosis progression and its consequences.
Results
This study included 9583 studies from 752 patients with a median total follow-up of 4.26 years (interquartile range: 1.28 to 7.24 years). A logistic model was selected with the best accuracy to predict the rate of AS progression. Patients were categorized into slow and rapid progressors in a ratio of 5:1. Multiparametric analysis showed no association between these profiles and clinical variables. However, anti-hypertensive drugs before and after adjustment for blood pressure control (Calcium Channel Blockers, p=0.013, OR 0.50) were associated with slower progression. Meanwhile, elevated inflammatory markers (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, p=0.01) were associated with faster AS progression. Despite no survival difference between these groups, higher rates of valvular intervention were registered in rapid progressors (p<0.001). Moreover, faster progressors were associated with earlier cardiac damage (as demonstrated by early onset of moderate mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, left auricle dilation, and left ventricle hypertrophy, p<0.05).
Conclusions
These results can potentially modify follow-up times and deliver more personalized and individualized health care to different AS patients, thereby optimizing resources.

Abstract
A study was conducted to understand the relationship among dietary branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) on the performance of Ross 344 × 708 male broilers. A total of 2,592 d-old male chicks were randomly placed into 144-floor pens according to a 23 full factorial central composite design (CCD) with 20 treatments (14 treatments and 6 center points). Each treatment consisted of varying digestible Ile:Lys (52 to 75), Val:Lys (64 to 87), and Leu:Lys (110 to 185) ratios. Birds and feed were weighed at 20 and 34 d of age to determine body weight gain (BWG), feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). At 35 d of age, feather amino acid composition and carcass characteristics were evaluated. Data were analyzed as CCD using the surface response option of JMP v. 15. Body weight gain (1,332 g; P < 0.001; R2 = 0.93) and FCR (1.54; P = 0.002; R2 = 0.88) were optimized at the lowest Leu:Lys ratio (110) with moderate Val:Lys (78 to 79) and Ile:Lys (65 to 66) ratios. Poorer BWG and FCR were observed as Leu:Lys ratio increased while increasing Val:Lys and Ile:Lys ratios alleviated the poor performance. Carcass (71.5%; P = 0.031; R2 = 0.76) and breast yield (26.7%; P < 0.001; R2 = 0.96) were maximized at the highest Leu:Lys ratio. This effect was complemented by increasing Ile:Lys ratio beyond 68. Lower Ile:Lys and Val:Lys ratios were required to maximize carcass and breast yield at the lowest Leu:Lys ratio. However, this strategy yielded less meat than providing a high Leu:Lys ratio diet. Dietary BCAA had little effect on altering the composition of feather protein and amino acid (P > 0.10). These results suggest that optimum BCAA ratios to Lys may vary depending on response criteria and demonstrate the importance of maintaining proper Val and Ile ratios centered on dietary Leu. Live performance can be optimized in diets with low Leu:Lys ratios; however, meat yield can be enhanced by increasing dietary Leu:Lys along with Ile:Lys ratios.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) diagnosis can be difficult in a chronic pancreatitis (CP) background, especially in its mass forming presentation. We aimed to assess the accuracy of glypican-1-positive circulating exosomes (GPC1+crExos) to distinguish PDAC from CP versus the state-of-the-art CA 19-9 biomarker. METHODS This was a unicentric prospective cohort. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration or biopsy and blood tests (GPC1+crExos and serum CA 19-9) were performed. RESULTS The cohort comprised 60 PDAC and 29 CP (7 of which mass forming - MF) patients. Median levels of GPC1+crExos were significantly higher in PDAC (99.7%) versus CP (28.4%; p<0.0001) with an AUROC of 0.96 with 98.3% sensitivity and 86.2% specificity for a cut-off of 45.0% (p<0.0001); this outperforms CA 19-9 AUROC of 0.82 with 78.3% sensitivity and 65.5% specificity at a cut-off of 37 U/mL (p<0.0001). The superiority of% GPC1+crExos over CA 19-99 in differentiating PDAC from CP was observed in both early (stage I) and advanced tumors (stages II-IV). CONCLUSION Levels of GPC1+crExos coupled to beads enable differential diagnosis between PDAC and CP including its mass-forming presentation.

Abstract
We report a search for nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) using eight years of TeV-scale atmospheric muon neutrino data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By reconstructing incident energies and zenith angles for atmospheric neutrino events, this analysis presents unified confidence intervals for the NSI parameter ε_{μτ}. The best-fit value is consistent with no NSI at a p value of 25.2%. With a 90% confidence interval of -0.0041≤ε_{μτ}≤0.0031 along the real axis and similar strength in the complex plane, this result is the strongest constraint on any NSI parameter from any oscillation channel to date.

Abstract
BackgroundWe present a case of a 36 year-old female who developed Acute Immune-mediated Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP) after receiving the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.ObjectivesTo report a rare auto-immune complication of COIVD-19 vaccination. To educate and inform physicians about the approach to diagnosing AIDP and narrowing down its etiology.MethodsCase report and literature reviewResultsA 36 year-old female with no significant past medical history presented to the hospital with progressive bilateral paresthesia. She started to experience numbness and tingling sensation in her extremities 1 week after receiving the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Following 5 days of symptoms onset, she was no longer able to hold onto objects and experienced difficulty ambulating without assistance. Physical exam was notable for decreased distal sensation to touch and pain in all 4 limbs, otherwise, the rest of her neurological and musculoskeletal evaluation was normal. MRI-head showed small scattered foci of increased FLAIR signal in the white matter, suggesting an underlying inflammatory process. Electromyography (EMG) was performed and showed evidence of acute diffuse sensorimotor neuropathy with mixed axonal and demyelinating features. These results along with the clinical features allowed us to diagnose our patient with Acute Immune-mediated Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP). Extensive autoimmune workup, including anti-GM1, GD1b, Gq1b, ANA, DS-DNA, RF, CCP, and C/P ANCA, were unremarkable. She had positive anti-Ro atb but did not have any clinical or physical features that would suggest Sjogren’s Syndrome. Vitamin levels (B12, folate, thiamine) were found to be normal. Infectious workup of serum and CSF which included hepatitis serologies, Campylobacter jejuni serology, Lyme atb, CMV atb, EBV atb were all negative. The possible etiology of her disease was attributed to Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine given the temporal correlation. She was subsequently treated with 6 cycles of IVIG which resulted in moderate symptomatic improvement.ConclusionAIDP is an autoimmune-guided inflammatory neuropathy which result in axonal degeneration of myelinated nerves [1]. In some extremely rare cases, molecular mimicry following vaccination may lead to this disease [1]. There have been reports of AIDP linked to Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines [2]. Recently, a few cases have also been observed with Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine [2-3]. Interestingly, the majority of these cases occurred after the first dose of the vaccine, making our case even more peculiar [2]. We report this case as physicians should be made aware that AIDP is a potential complication of COVID-19 vaccination. Given the extreme rarity of these cases, it is also important to note that more common infectious and autoimmune etiology of AIDP should be investigated before attributing any potential causal relationship to COVID-19 vaccines.References[1]Shahrizaila N, Lehmann HC, Kuwabara S.

Abstract
Background: Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the global mainstay treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infections. PfMDR1 and PfCRT are two transmembrane transporters, associated with sensitivity to several antimalarials, found in the parasite food vacuole. Herein, we explore if their relatedness extends to overlapping patterns of gene transcriptional activity before and during ACT administration. Methods: In a clinical trial performed in Tanzania, we explored the pfmdr1 and pfcrt transcription levels from 48 patients with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria infections who underwent treatment with artemether-lumefantrine (AL). Samples analyzed were collected before treatment initiation and during the first 24 h of treatment. The frequency of PfMDR1 N86Y and PfCRT K76T was determined through PCR-RFLP or direct amplicon sequencing. Gene expression was analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR. Results: A wide range of pre-treatment expression levels was observed for both genes, approximately 10-fold for pfcrt and 50-fold for pfmdr1. In addition, a significant positive correlation demonstrates pfmdr1 and pfcrt co-expression. After AL treatment initiation, pfmdr1 and pfcrt maintained the positive co-expression correlation, with mild downregulation throughout the 24 h post-treatment. Additionally, a trend was observed for PfMDR1 N86 alleles and higher expression before treatment initiation. Conclusion:pfmdr1 and pfcrt showed significant co-expression patterns in vivo, which were generally maintained during ACT treatment. This observation points to relevant related roles in the normal parasite physiology, which seem essential to be maintained when the parasite is exposed to drug stress. In addition, keeping the simultaneous expression of both transporters might be advantageous for responding to the drug action.

Background
Several studies have demonstrated the relation between general obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), due to its local paracrine effect and the intimate relation with the atrium, could influence AF recurrence rates, but very few studies have explored this association.
Purpose
In this study we aimed to evaluate if EAT could be a predictor of AF recurrence after an AF ablation procedure.
Methods
We included all consecutive patients submitted to AF ablation (2017-2019) who performed a computed tomography scan prior to the procedure. EAT volume was semi-automatically reconstructed by manually tracing the pericardium. Adipose tissue was defined in the range between -150 and -50 Hounsfield units. Recurrence was defined as any documented (ECG/Holter) episode of AF, atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia after 3 months of the procedure. Logistic regression with a restricted cubic polynomial transformation was used to model the non-linear relationship between recurrence and EAT volumes. Inspection of the partial effect curves suggested that a cutoff for EAT volume ≥80mL could stratify patients at risk of recurrence and a Time-to-event analysis was carried.
Results
A total of 354 patients (66% male, median age 57 years [IQR 48–65] and 21% persistent AF) were included. During a median follow-up of 34 months [IQR 24-43], 117 patients (33%) had AF recurrence. These patients had a significantly greater EAT volume (76 mL [IQR 55-111] vs 72 mL [IQR 48-95], p=0.03) when compared to those without recurrence. Also, patients with higher EAT volume (≥ 80mL) had a higher risk of recurrence compared to patients with lower volume (Figure 1, log-rank test p=0.007). After adjusting for clinical risk factors (age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, thyroid disease, AF type and left atrial enlargement), higher EAT volume did not remain an independent predictor of AF recurrence (Figure 2, HR 1.25 [95% CI, 0.83-1.86] p=0.3).
Conclusion
In this cohort of patients with AF submitted to catheter ablation, EAT volume ≥80mL was associated with increased risk of AF recurrence. However, it was not an independent predictor of AF recurrence after adjustment to clinical risk factors.

Introduction
Recently, a classification with four types of septal longitudinal strain patterns was described using a speckle tracking based strain analysis in echocardiography suggesting pathophysiological continuum of LBBB-induced LV remodeling. Little data exist on feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance (FT-CMR) in LBBB patients, and whether such patterns could be reproduced in CMR is not established yet.
Purpose
In this study, we aimed to: 1) Assess and reproduce the new strain patterns classification by CMR and 2) Evaluate its association with LV remodeling and myocardial scar in a LBBB cohort.
Methods
Single center registry which included LBBB patients with septal flash (SF) referred to CMR to assess the structural cause of LV dysfunction. LBBB was defined according to Strauss criteria as strict LBBB, non-strict LBBB or nonspecific LV conduction delay.
A semi-automated FT-CMR was used to quantify myocardial strain and detect the four septal longitudinal and radial strain patterns, according to the recent classification (LBBB-1 through LBBB-4) – Figure. Extent of SF was visually scored as mild, moderate, or prominent.
Results
A total of 115 patients were included (mean age 66±11 years; 57% men; 38% with ischemic heart disease). Median duration of QRS was 150± 26ms and majority of the patients (n=90, 78%) were classified as strict LBBB.
In longitudinal strain analyses LBBB-1 was observed in 23 (20%), LBBB-2 in 37 (32.1%), LBBB-3 in 25 (21.7%), and LBBB-4 in 30 (26%) patients. Patients at higher LBBB stages (longitudinal or radial pattern) had more prominent septal flash, greater LV volumes, lower LV ejection fraction and lower absolute global longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain values compared with patients in less advanced stages (p < 0.05 for all) - table.
There was no difference between patterns in clinical characteristics, ischemic etiology, QRS duration and time delay between septal and lateral LV wall.
Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was found in 63 patients (54.8%), with a septal location in 34 (29.6%) patients, lateral in 4 (3.5%) patients, septal and lateral in 11 (9.6%) patients. Furthermore, no difference was found for LGE presence, distribution or location between the four strain patterns.
Conclusions
Among patients with LBBB, our study found a good association between longitudinal and radial strain patterns with the degree of LV remodeling and LV dysfunction by FT-CMR analysis. Additionally, myocardial fibrosis didn’t seem to interfere with the staged LBBB classification.

Introduction
Both coronary artery calcium (CAC) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) had been implicated in coronary artery disease (CAD) and risk of future adverse cardiovascular events. There are scarce data regarding the assessment and association of EAT volume and CAC score (CACS) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.
Purpose
To assess the association between EAT volume and the presence and severity of CAC in patients with AF.
Methods
Retrospective and single-centre study including consecutive patients with AF undergoing contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography for catheter ablation planning, from 2017 to 2019. Patients with known history of CAD and moderate to severe valvular heart disease were excluded. Baseline clinical and demographical data were collected, as well as their cardiovascular risk, based on the SCORE (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation) system and cardiovascular risk categories. We assessed CACS (Agatston method) and EAT volume and analysed their association. EAT was defined as the adipose tissue accumulated between the visceral pericardium and the myocardium and was semi-automatically reconstructed by manually tracing the pericardium. Patients were split into three groups according to CACS: 0, 1-99 and ≥100. A logistic regression (LR) analysis was performed to explore the relationship between EAT volume and the presence of CAC (CACS>0), adjusted for age, gender, obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
Results
A total of 354 patients were included, with a mean age of 56 ± 12 years, 66% male and 21% with persistent AF. A CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2 was present in 130 (37%) patients and most patients had low to moderate cardiovascular risk (n=213, 82%). More than half of the patients had a CACS>0 (n=185, 52%), of which 63 patients (18%) had a CACS≥100. The mean EAT volume was 79 ± 39 ml. There was a significant association between EAT volume and the presence of CAC: CACS=0 69 ± 34 ml vs CACS 1-99 84 ± 38 ml vs CACS ≥100 95 ± 45 ml (p<0.001) (Fig. 1). After covariate adjustment (LR model R2 = 0.373, p <0.0001), the presence of CAC was not associated with EAT volume (OR 1.00, 95%CI 1.00 - 1.01, p=0.2) or obesity, and only with higher age, male gender, hypertension and diabetes mellitus (Fig. 2).
Conclusion
In our cohort of patients with AF undergoing catheter ablation we observed an association between EAT and CACS. Nevertheless, EAT volume was not an independent predictor of CACS and only the classical cardiovascular risk factors remained significant.

Abstract
Background A cluster of interconnected cardiometabolic risk factors characterizes metabolic Syndrome (MS). The prevalence of MS is increasing worldwide, but there is not a meta-analysis of this prevalence in the Brazilian population. We aimed to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among adult general population in Brazil through a meta‑analysis study. Methods Original research studies were searched at PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO databases, from 2011 to 2021. We used the Joanna Briggs Institute tool to assess the quality of included studies. The random effect model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of MS. Subgroup and meta-regression analysis were conducted for explored heterogeneity and used the Funnel Plot and Egger’s test to assess publication bias. The study was performed based on the criteria of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Results The search in electronic databases identified 1598 records. From this total, 26 studies were eligible to be included in the final analysis. The overall pooled prevalence among the general population of Brazil was 33% with high heterogeneity observed. By gender, the prevalences were 26% in males and 38% in females. By criteria that was used to define MS, the prevalence were 31% in NCEP ATP III, 25% in JIS, 37% in IDF/NHLBI/AHA/WHF/IAS/IASO and 33% in IDF criteria. The prevalence in different habitat was 34% in urban, 15% in rural, 28% in quilombola and 37% in indigenous. In different regions was 37% in the South, 30% in Southeast, 38% in North, 31% in Northeast and 39% in Midwest. The pooled prevalence of MS with age was < 45 years: 43% and ≥ 45 years: 42% and the prevalence based on year of study implementation was 31% in 2015–2019, 35% in 2010–2014 and 28% in 2005–2009. There were no statistically significant differences between subgroups. Most of the studies showed high quality assessment criteria’s except adequate sample size criteria and many studies participants were not sampled in an appropriate way. Conclusions Our review indicates a high prevalence of MS in the healthy Brazilian adult population, when compared to others countries and with a world estimate.

Abstract
We present an all-sky 90% confidence level upper limit on the cosmic flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles using 2886 days of IceCube data. The analysis was optimized for monopole speeds between 0.750c and 0.995c, without any explicit restriction on the monopole mass. We constrain the flux of relativistic cosmic magnetic monopoles to a level below 2.0×10^{-19} cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} over the majority of the targeted speed range. This result constitutes the most strict upper limit to date for magnetic monopoles with β≳0.8 and up to β∼0.995 and fills the gap between existing limits on the cosmic flux of nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic magnetic monopoles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although studies continue to demonstrate the advantages of transradial access (TRA) for neurointerventions, radial artery spasm (RAS) remains a frequent cause of TRA failure. Dotter initially described a technique to dilate areas of peripheral vascular stenosis by advancing sequentially larger catheters across the lesion over a wire. We present our institutional experience performing a modified Dotter technique utilizing long radial sheaths to dilate areas of proximal flow limiting RAS. OBJECTIVE To review the use of the Dotter technique for alleviating RAS in patients undergoing TRA for neurointerventions. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients undergoing TRA for neurointerventions at our institution from 2018-2020 was performed to identify patients with proximal flow limiting RAS. In identified patients, a modified Dotter technique was employed to dilate the stenosis. Demographic and periprocedural data were assessed to identify any adverse outcomes. RESULTS Four patients with severe proximal flow limiting RAS were identified. In each case, a hydrophilic long radial sheath and vascular dilator were sequentially advanced through the stenosis. In all cases, repeat angiography demonstrated improvement of the spasm and final radial angiograms demonstrated persistent improvement in caliber and regularity of the vessel. Each procedure was also completed via TRA with no periprocedural complications. CONCLUSIONS Our modified Dotter technique is effective in bypassing areas of severe proximal flow limiting RAS thus obviating the need for access site conversion. Additional studies are warranted to understand the implication of the angioplasty-like effects seen within the radial artery following removal of the long radial sheaths.

Abstract
Abstract This document from the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) and the European Society of Radiology (ESR) discusses the role of imaging in the long-term follow-up of COVID-19 patients, to define which patients may benefit from imaging, and what imaging modalities and protocols should be used. Insights into imaging features encountered on computed tomography (CT) scans and potential pitfalls are discussed and possible areas for future review and research are also included. Key Points • Post-COVID-19 pneumonia changes are mainly consistent with prior organizing pneumonia and are likely to disappear within 12 months of recovery from the acute infection in the majority of patients. • At present, with the longest series of follow-up examinations reported not exceeding 12 months, the development of persistent or progressive fibrosis in at least some individuals cannot yet be excluded. • Residual ground glass opacification may be associated with persisting bronchial dilatation and distortion, and might be termed “fibrotic-like changes” probably consistent with prior organizing pneumonia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Arboviruses currently represent a growing public health problem in the world. There is a set of structural and historical issues involved in the health-disease process and arboviruses prevention, among which are the need for critical and problematizing health education, with real participation of the school community and commitment of young students in the territories. Therefore, the study aims to analyze a training experience in scientific initiation on arboviruses, from the youth perception, as protagonists in the territory of Ceilândia-Distrito Federal-Brazil.
Methods
This study is characterized as a qualitative research-action, which was structured in 3 stages: 1) document analysis of the essays written by the students; 2) realization of the Training Course for Scientific Initiation in Basic Education and Arboviruses; 3) focus group with 12 students, after having participated in the training activity, in order to understand their pe rceptions about the educational process and its repercussion in the protagonism and responsibility of acting in the territories.
Results
The results of the Content Analysis showed the students' perception centered on eight analytical categories: students' motivation for scientific initiation; process of knowledge formation; importance of the scientific dissemination; training of young scientists; relationship of arboviruses with waste accumulation; health and environment; arboviruses prevention and control; youth participation and empowerment.
Conclusions
Facing arboviruses requires broad-spectrum policies and interventions, with interdisciplinary actions in society, both in the health and education scenarios. It is understood that youth are social protagonists in facing the vulnerabilities to which they are subjected. Therefore, scientific education strengthened the Ceilândia's youth as subjects of rights, stimulating the innovation in preventive ac tions to combat arboviruses in the territory.
Key messages
Facing arboviruses requires interdisciplinary broad-spectrum policies and interventions. Scientific education stimulates youth leadership in combating arboviruses in the territory.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Radiofrequency (RF) and cryoballoon (CB) ablation are established techniques for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Randomized trials comparing both techniques show similar levels of success; however, studies comparing CB with RF guided by ablation index (AI) are lacking.
Purpose
To compare the treatment success of CB with RF guided by AI, in patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF undergoing their first ablation procedure.
Methods
Patients undergoing AF ablation between 2017 and 2019 were retrospectively analysed. Primary success outcome was freedom from recurrence (defined as any episode of AF, atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia lasting >30 seconds and occurring after 91 days from ablation, or need for antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD), cardioversion or redo procedure). Secondary end-point was a composite of adverse cardiovascular outcomes (stroke/TIA, emergency room visit for AF, hospitalization for AF or cardiovascular death). Analysis was done before and after propensity score matching.
Results
A total of 316 patients were included. Mean age was 56.9±11.7 years. Sixty-two percent were male (n=196). Paroxysmal AF was present in 80.7% (n=255), with no difference between groups. RF was used in 57.9% (n=183) and CB in 42.1% (n=133), with isolation of all pulmonary veins accomplished in 95.9% (n=302), without differences between groups. Mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 1.5±1.3, being higher in the RF group (1.7±1.3 vs 1.2±1.1; p=0.03); these patients were also older (mean age 58.1±12.0 vs. 55.17±11.0 years; p=0.007) and more likely to be in AF at the ablation (26.7% vs. 16.5%; p=0.006), have chronic kidney disease (40.2% vs. 23.2%; p=0.002), anaemia (11.8% vs. 2.7%; p<0.001), moderate/severe mitral disease (17.5% vs. 7.4%; p=0.012) or history of atrial flutter (17.7% vs. 3.1%; p<0.001). Patients in the CB group had a longer history of AF (3.8±3.5 vs. 3.0±2.9 years; p=0.041), received treatment with AAD more often (60.9% vs. 55.9%; p=0.049) and had longer follow-up time (889±397 vs. 601±239 days; p<0.001). Mean freedom from recurrence was not significantly different between groups (1106 days for CB vs. 889 days for RF; p=0.793), and recurrence rates were also similar (27.8% for CB vs. 23.5% for RF; p=0.291); however, patients treated with CB were more likely to need a redo procedure (38.3% vs. 17.4%; p=0.025). There were no differences in the composite of adverse cardiovascular events or in individual outcomes. Propensity score matching was done, and 154 patients were matched 1:1 for each treatment group. Survival free from recurrence showed no differences (1060 days for CB vs. 864 days for RF; p=0.912), and neither did the recurrence rate. CB patients with recurrence were still more likely to need a redo procedure (37.9% vs. 11.1%; p=0.021).
Conclusion
RF and CB result in similar survival free from AF and AF recurrence; however, recurrence in CB seems more significant, leading to higher rates of redo procedures.
