Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to several factors such as its specific cellular and biochemical microenvironment, the spleen is not a predestined organ of frequent metastatic colonization in the case of primary solid carcinoma. Hence, the mode of diagnosis and the preferred treatment of a lesion highly suspicious of splenic metastasis must be decided on a case-by-case basis, considering not only the biological tumor entity but also the stage of the primary disease. CASE REPORT In the present case, we demonstrate the clinical course of a 37-year-old female patient who initially presented to our clinic with irregular vaginal bleeding. A consecutive gynecological examination revealed a 3×3-cm large mass of the cervix uteri, and the subsequent histomorphological workup led to the diagnosis of an adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix uteri. Therapeutically, the patient received multimodal treatment, namely radical hysterectomy with adjuvant radio-chemotherapy. After 1.5 years, the patient presented to our Emergency Department with intermittent left-sided abdominal pain. Subsequent abdominal imaging (computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography) determined a metabolically active splenic lesion with a central necrosis - signs of malignancy in line with a splenic metastasis. Presentation and discussion of the case within our interdisciplinary tumor board led to the decision of splenectomy followed by chemotherapy, a procedure that could be considered as therapeutic treatment in such exceptional cases. CONCLUSIONS The collection and reporting of atypical clinical courses remains a key factor in precision medicine to enable the most evidence-based decision making in such cases.

Abstract
We present a new method for coherent control of trapped ion qubits in separate interaction regions of a multizone trap by simultaneously applying an electric field and a spin-dependent gradient. Both the phase and amplitude of the effective single-qubit rotation depend on the electric field, which can be localized to each zone. We demonstrate this interaction on a single ion using both laser-based and magnetic-field gradients in a surface-electrode ion trap, and measure the localization of the electric field.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to test the effect of hyaluronic acid cross-linked with polyethylene glycol containing micronized portions of calcium hydroxyapatite (Neauvia Stimulate) on both local tissue and systemic consequences, which are crucial from the perspective of long-term safety, in patients suffering from Hashimoto's disease. This most common autoimmune disease is a frequently mentioned contraindication to the use of fillers based on hyaluronic acid as well as biostimulants based on calcium hydroxyapatite. Broad-spectrum aspects of histopathology were analyzed to identify key features of inflammatory infiltration before the procedure and 5, 21, and 150 days after the procedure. A statistically significant effect on the reduction of the intensity of the inflammatory infiltration in the tissue in relation to the state before the procedure was demonstrated, combined with a reduction in the occurrence of both antigen-recognizing (CD4) and cytotoxic (CD8) T lymphocytes. With complete statistical certainty, it was demonstrated that the treatment with Neauvia Stimulate had no effect on the levels of these antibodies. All this corresponds with the risk analysis that showed no alarming symptoms during the time of observation. The choice of hyaluronic acid fillers cross-linked with polyethylene glycol should be considered justified and safe in the case of patients suffering from Hashimoto's disease.

Abstract
The new strategies to obtain selectively protected hydroxyl function on sugar derivatives are still of the high value for the progress of glycochemistry and organic synthesis. Herein, we describe an interesting enzymatic deprotection strategy that was applied to the most commonly used glycal derivative - 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal. The procedure is operationally simple, easy to scale-up and the biocatalyst might be effortlessly recycled from the reaction mixture. Resulting product - 4,6-di-O-acetyl-D-glucal we then challenged to synthesize two glycal synthons armed with 3 different protecting group - a synthetic target difficult to achieve with traditional methods.

Abstract
Using a single calcium ion confined in a surface-electrode trap, we study the interaction of electric quadrupole transitions with a passively phase-stable optical standing wave field sourced by photonics integrated within the trap. We characterize the optical fields through spatial mapping of the Rabi frequencies of both carrier and motional sideband transitions as well as ac Stark shifts. Our measurements demonstrate the ability to engineer favorable combinations of sideband and carrier Rabi frequency as well as ac Stark shifts for specific tasks in quantum state control and metrology.

Abstract
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become one of the most important treatments for aortic abdominal aneurysm. This method has some possible complications, including a type II endoleak (T2E). When coexisting with arteriovenous fistulas (AVF), T2E can lead to serious hemodynamic consequences and organ failure. This report describes the management of a patient with T2E coexisting with AVF following an EVAR and re-EVAR procedure. Although T2E itself may be treated with a conservative approach in some cases, in the presented patient an operative approach was necessary because of coexisting AVF. In addition, due to unusual hemodynamic conditions created by concomitant ACF and T2E, fistula closure was obtained as a result of transarterial inferior mesenteric artery embolization. Post-EVAR imaging, including ultrasound and computed tomography angiography, has proven to be essential when caring for these patients.

Abstract
AbstractA range of C2-phosphonylated sugars have been accessed through a palladium-catalyzed Hirao cross-coupling on 2-iodoglycals using trialkylphosphites as phosphorylating reagents. The developed conditions led to the creation of an unnatural C–P bond on sugars and proved to be compatible with diversely protected glycals (acetyl-, benzyl-, PMB-protected) as well as with unprotected substrates. Several monosaccharides and one disaccharide have been synthesized by applying this methodology. Deprotection conditions are also described.

Abstract
We propose and implement a novel scheme for dissipatively pumping two qubits into a singlet Bell state. The method relies on a process of collective optical pumping to an excited level, to which all states apart from the singlet are coupled. We apply the method to deterministically entangle two trapped ^{40}Ca^{+} ions. Within 16 pumping cycles, an initially separable state is transformed into one with 83(1)% singlet fidelity, and states with initial fidelity of ⪆70% converge onto a fidelity of 93(1)%. We theoretically analyze the performance and error susceptibility of the scheme and find it to be insensitive to a large class of experimentally relevant noise sources.

Abstract
The development of aneurysms of thoracoabdominal aorta (TAAA) in a post-transplant patient is a rare clinical situation and requires special attention. Endovascular treatment is the most suitable option for these patients due to numerous comorbidities. Particular emphasis should be placed on the ejection fraction as one of the main criteria for qualifying for surgery. The treatment itself remains a major challenge relating to anatomical constrains; however, it is possible in select patients in experienced centers.

Abstract
End Stage Renal Disease is a last stage of Chronic Kidney Disease which is characterized by Glomerular Filtration rate of less than 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 . Hemodialysis is the most commonly used modality for treatment of Chronic Kidney disease. Among the access for hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula is the most common modality. However most common problems of fistula are significant stenosis of more than 50% which is characterized by limb swelling, pigmentation, tortuous veins, and difficulty maintaining flow during dialysis from AV fistula. These can be managed either by minimal intervention or with surgical intervention. Very few hospitals in Nepal and other countries have an angiographic suite to perform minimal intervention include angiogram with angioplasty. So in this case we try to address the use of C-Arm to perform angiogram or fistulogram and even angioplasty for the management of significant stenosis or complications of arteriovenous fistula.

Abstract
The structural analysis of a 95-year-old concrete arch bridge located in Jagodnik (Poland) is performed in this paper, in order to check its behavior under today's traffic loads. The mechanical properties of both the concrete and the reinforcement are investigated by testing cores and bar stubs extracted from the bridge. Structural analysis confirms that the bridge meets today's load requirements in terms of bearing capacity, serviceability state, and that the adopted structural improvements (a new deck slab on top of the existing structure and a layer of mortar to protect the surface of the old concrete) are effective. In this way, the 95-year-old arch bridge was given a new life. The structural improvements show how combining numerical modelling and laboratory tests can contribute to the preservation of an old-though fairly simple-and valuable structure, otherwise destined to demolition, with both environmental and economic benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An endoleak is a typical complication of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). It is characterized by persistent blood flow between a stent graft and the aneurysm sac. Usually, it can be visualized during primary EVAR, but in many cases, this remains impossible. Therefore, other methods of endoleak assessment are urgently needed. The measurement of aneurysm sac pressure (ASP) seems to be a promising direction of research in this area. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new method for invasive pressure measurement inside the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) during EVAR. We also assessed a correlation between pressure values and early angiographic occurrence of an endoleak after the procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 20 patients with AAA were included in this experimental prospective study. During EVAR, systolic, diastolic and mean pressure values were recorded both for ASP and aortic pressure (AP) before procedure, after stent graft opening and after final stent graft ballooning. RESULTS The measurements were successfully obtained in all participants without any complications. There were no significant differences between all ASP and AP before procedure. After the procedure, blood pressure significantly decreased in the aneurysm sac but not in the aorta. Systolic ASP was significantly lower than systolic AP both after stent graft opening (80.4 ±20.9 mm Hg compared to 110.7 ±21.6 mm Hg, p < 0.01) and after its balloon post-dilatation (65.6 ±26.1 mm Hg compared to 107.4 ±22.1 mm Hg, p < 0.001). Diastolic ASP decreased significantly in comparison to diastolic AP only after stent graft ballooning (48.0 ±14.6 mm Hg compared to 56.4 ±13.6 mm Hg, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study confirmed that the novel method for the measurement of ASP during EVAR, using a thin pressure wire, is feasible and safe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There has been a growing interest in whether carotid revascularization may reverse cognitive decline. In this study the aim was to assess cognitive changes after carotid artery endarterectomy and stenting, using neuropsychological assessment with MoCA and CANTAB test. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, qualified for CEA (study group A) and CAS (study group B) have been prospectively assessed. 20 patients with lower extremity artery disease (control group C) and 15 patients qualified for inguinal hernia surgery (control group D) have served as a control group. Patients have been evaluated 1 day before surgery and 6 months after, using MoCA and CANTAB test. Logistic regression models were built to determine variables affecting cognitive performance. RESULTS After the procedure in the study group A the cognitive evaluation showed improvement in 5 cognitive domains tested in MoCA: visuospatial/executive (p=.0496), naming (p=.0831), language (p=.0009), abstraction (p=.0126) and delayed recall (p=.0016). In CANTAB there were improvement in PAL (p=.0290) and SWM (p=.0105). In study group B positive cognitive changes were seen in visuospatial/executive (p=.0827) and delayed recall (p=.0041) tested with MoCA and in PAL (PALFAMS28 p=.0315, PALNPR28 p=.0090, PALTEA28 p=.0058) and SWM (p=.0882) tested with CANTAB. Using a regression model, the only strong predictors of cognitive improvement on the follow-up visit were younger age and lower MoCA score on the first visit. CONCLUSIONS Carotid revascularization, both open and endovascular, lead to cognitive improvement in patients with severe carotid stenosis and cognitive decline. This effect seems to be stronger in younger patients with worst cognitive performance before surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an important therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. In particular in advanced cirrhosis, post-TACE hepatic failure liver (PTHF) failure may develop. Currently, there is no standardization for the periinterventional risk assessment. The liver maximum capacity (LiMAx) test assesses the functional liver capacity, but has not been investigated in this setting. AIMS The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate periinterventional LiMAx and CT volumetry measurements in patients with cirrhosis and HCC undergoing repetitive TACE. METHODS From 06/2016 to 11/2017, eleven patients with HCC and cirrhosis undergoing TACE were included. LiMAx measurements (n = 42) were conducted before and after each TACE. Laboratory parameters were correlated with the volume-function data. RESULTS The median LiMAx levels before (276 ± 166 µg/kg/h) were slightly reduced after TACE (251 ± 122 µg/kg/h; p = 0.08). This corresponded to a median drop of 7.1%. Notably, there was a significant correlation between LiMAx levels before TACE and bilirubin (but not albumin nor albumin-bilirubin [ALBI] score) increase after TACE (p = 0.02, k = 0.56). Furthermore, a significantly higher increase in bilirubin in patients with LiMAx ≤ 150 µg/kg/h was observed (p = 0.011). LiMAx levels at different time points in single patients were similar (p = 0.2). CONCLUSION In our prospective pilot study in patients with HCC and cirrhosis undergoing multiple TACE, robust and reliable LiMAx measurements were demonstrated. Lower LiMAx levels before TACE were associated with surrogate markers (bilirubin) of liver failure after TACE. Specific subgroups at high risk of PTHF should be investigated. This might facilitate the future development of strategies to prevent occurrence of PTHF.

Abstract
Background Gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used as an imaging-based liver function test. This study aims to further corroborate its validity. Purpose To compare Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI as an imaging-based liver function test with the 13C-methacetin breath test. Material and Methods Fifty-three patients who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI T1 relaxometry before and 20 min after intravenous Gd-EOB-DTPA administration as well as a 13C-methacetin breath test (LiMAx test) were retrospectively analyzed. T1 relaxation times of liver parenchyma, total liver volume (TLV), and functional liver volume (FLV) were determined. Pearson correlations, multiple linear regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were performed with indices derived from T1 relaxometry, liver volumetry, and laboratory parameters to identify the best predictor of liver function as determined by the LiMAx test. Results T1 reduction rate (T1 RR), T1 RR × TLV, T1 RR × FLV, and T1 relaxation time 20 min after intravenous Gd-EOB administration showed a statistically significant correlation with LiMAx and discriminatory capacity between patients with LiMAx of > and < 315 µg/kg/h. Of the indices investigated, T1 RR showed the best discriminatory capacity and proved to be the only statistically significant parameter in multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI as an imaging-based liver function test also correlates with the LiMAx test which in turn reflects cytochrome P450 function. The T1 reduction rate of the liver on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI allows prediction of liver function as determined by the LiMAx test both for 1.5 and 3.0 T.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in anaesthesia and surgical technique have considerably reduced mortality in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing liver resection. However, extended resections in patients with liver cirrhosis still represent a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of volume/function analysis for the prediction of morbidity in HCC patients following liver resection. METHODS Between 2001 and 2014, a total of 261 patients who underwent open hepatectomy for HCC were enrolled in this study. Future liver remnant volume (FLRV) and future liver remnant function (FLRF) based on LiMAx testing were obtained retrospectively. Uni- and multivariable analyses were performed to identify predictors for postoperative ascites, post-hepatectomy haemorrhage (PHH), and wound healing disorders (WHD) within the total cohort and in a subgroup of cirrhotic patients. RESULTS The most commonly observed complication was ascites (57.1%), followed by liver failure (25.3%), PHH (19.5%), and WHD (19.2%). FLRF was a major predictor of postoperative ascites (AUC 0.776; OR 0.987, p = 0.001), PHH (AUC 0.717; OR 0.984, p = 0.001), and WHD (AUC 0.660; OR 0.994, p = 0.032) in total cohort. Multivariable analysis of the cirrhosis subgroup showed FLRF to be an independent predictor of ascites (AUC 0.814; OR 0.989, p = 0.021), PHH (AUC 0.677; OR 0.991, p = 0.040), and WHD (AUC 0.615; OR 0.989, p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS FLRF is a major predictor of postoperative ascites, haemorrhage, and wound healing disorders in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients whereas FLRV failed to show significant correlations. Preoperative calculation of FLRF may augment surgical decision-making in high-risk patients and thereby improve perioperative outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess various types of safety lancets in terms of blood volume and pain perception during capillary blood sampling, a routine finger-puncture procedure for obtaining a small amount of human blood for running various screening and diagnostic tests. METHODS Data were collected from 100 adult healthy volunteers following finger-puncture procedure. Four different types of safety lancets were tested (Acti-Lance, Prolance, Medlance Plus, and MediSafe Solo). Each type has its own versions, giving 16 different safety lancets in total. RESULTS A significant difference in the mean capillary blood volume was found between blade and needle equipped safety lancets. MediSafe Solo type lancet had no blade version, and hence its use was associated with the lowest mean collected capillary blood volume (42.4 μL). Acti-Lance and Medlance Plus type lancets had one blade version and the mean collected capillary blood volume was 82.2 and 99.0 μL, respectively. Prolance type lancet had two blade versions, and its use was associated with the highest mean capillary blood volume (118.3 μL). The level of pain intensity was evaluated as low by the majority of patients for all lancets. Medlance Plus was the least painful and Acti-Lance was the most painful type of safety lancet. On a 0-to-10 scale of pain, 75% of punctures were assessed by the participants at a level not exceeding 3 points. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that although all investigated safety lancets achieve adequate performance regarding the necessary capillary blood volume to run a diagnostic of test, lancets equipped with blades differ significantly from those equipped with needles in terms of the mean obtained capillary blood volume. Further, although all devices produced relatively low levels of pain, the amount of pain caused by blade versions of safety lancets has been found to be higher than that of needle versions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the type and frequency of early postoperative complications in patients after open surgical infrarenal aneurysms repair and determination of their risk factors. STUDY DESIGN An observational study Place and Duration of Study: The 4th Military Teaching Hospital in Wroclaw, Poland, from January 2012 to December 2016. METHODOLOGY Analyses of medical records of 205 patients treated for infrarenal aneurysm with open surgery. Patients with clinical and radiological features of aneurysm rupture were excluded. Complications and early deaths (<30 days) were recorded. RESULTS Men represented 170 (83%) of patients, the average age was 67.9 ± 6.68 years. Aneurysm diameter <60 mm occurred in 107 (52.2%) of patients, 60-80 mm in 76 (37.1%), and >80 mm in 22 (10.7%). Aortic prostheses (tube grafts) were implanted in 132 (64.4%) of patients and aorto-bifemoral (bifurcated) grafts in 73 (35.6%). The most common postoperative complications were: reoperation necessity (n=23; 11.2%), respiratory failure (n=21; 10.2%), respiratory tract infection (n=14; 6.8%), circulatory failure (n=14; 6.8%), lower limb ischemia (n=13; 6.3%), kidney failure (n=12; 5.9%), death (n=9; 4.4%), and surgical wound infection (n=9; 4.4%). Statistical analysis indicated intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, a larger aneurysm diameter, and diabetes as risk factors for early complications. CONCLUSION Complications were the same as reported from other centres. There is a need to shorten surgery duration and minimise blood loss, as these modifiable factors were the predictors of early complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transjugular intrahepatic shunt (TIPSS) is placed in patients with variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, and for other indications. Postprocedural liver function-associated complications (LFAC), including hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and liver failure, represent a major setback. Current methods to predict complications are insufficient. OBJECTIVES We investigated in a pilot study of patients prior TIPSS placement whether the risk of LFAC correlates with the functional reserve of the liver, as assessed by liver maximum function capacity (LiMAx) test. METHODS Prospectively we included patients prior TIPSS placement between June 2016 and November 2017 at Saarland University Medical Center. LiMAx was conducted before and after TIPSS placement. Patients with HE prior TIPSS, as well as other factors predisposing to HE, including concomitant sedative drugs, current bacterial infections and sepsis, were excluded. Overt HE (OHE), LiMAx, and laboratory values were assessed before and after TIPSS placement. Data were analyzed in multivariate regression and AUROC models. RESULTS Mean age was 60 ± 8 years. Patients (n = 20) were mainly men (65%), and presented predominantly with Child-Pugh class B (90%). Indications for TIPSS were most commonly refractory ascites or recurrent variceal bleeding. In total, 40% of the patients developed LFAC after TIPSS placement. Expectedly, LiMAx decreased and serum bilirubin increased after TIPSS. LiMAx drop ≥20% was the only parameter predicting the development of LFAC after TIPSS in multivariate regression and AUROC analysis. CONCLUSIONS In multivariate regression models and AUROC analysis, a drop in LiMAx predicted the development of LFAC after TIPSS placement. Additional larger studies assessing OHE and early liver failure separately are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical procedures in patients with underlying liver disease are still burdened by a high rate of postoperative morbidity, especially posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), ranging from 1.2 to 33.8%. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of volume/function analysis for the prediction of hepatectomy-related morbidity in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS Clinicopathological data were analysed in 261 patients who underwent liver resection for HCC between 2001 and 2014. Future liver remnant volume (FLRV) and future liver remnant function (FLRF) based on LiMAx test were obtained retrospectively. A subgroup analysis for high-risk patients with impaired liver function was conducted. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for major complications, defined by Dindo ≥ IIIb and PHLF grade ≥ B. RESULTS In the total cohort, FLRF was independently associated with major complications. FLRV, resected liver volume, and FLRF were independent risk factors for PHLF. In a subgroup analysis of high-risk patients, FLRF was identified as the only independent risk factor for major complications and PHLF development. DISCUSSION These results suggest the superior value of FLRF to FLRV in predicting postoperative complications as well as PHLF in patients with chronic liver disease.

Abstract
The tricuspid leaflets coapt during systole to facilitate proper valve function and, thus, ensure efficient transport of deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Between their open state and closed state, the leaflets undergo large deformations. Quantification of these deformations is important for our basic scientific understanding of tricuspid valve function and for diagnostic or prognostic purposes. To date, tricuspid valve leaflet strains have never been directly quantified in vivo. To fill this gap in our knowledge, we implanted four sonomicrometry crystals per tricuspid leaflet and six crystals along the tricuspid annulus in a total of five sheep. In the beating ovine hearts, we recorded crystal coordinates alongside hemodynamic data. Once recorded, we used a finite strain kinematic framework to compute the temporal evolutions of area strain, radial strain, and circumferential strain for each leaflet. We found that leaflet strains were larger in the anterior leaflet than the posterior and septal leaflets. Additionally, we found that radial strains were larger than circumferential strains. Area strains were as large as 97% in the anterior leaflet, 31% in the posterior leaflet, and 31% in the septal leaflet. These data suggest that tricuspid valve leaflet strains are significantly larger than those in the mitral valve. Should our findings be confirmed they could suggest either that the mechanobiological equilibrium of tricuspid valve resident cells is different than that of mitral valve resident cells or that the mechanotransductive apparatus between the two varies. Either phenomenon may have important implications for the development of tricuspid valve-specific surgical techniques and medical devices.

Abstract
Introduction One of the most severe complications after TEVAR is ischemic stroke and spinal cord ischemia (SCI) resulting in severe disability. These complications can be fatal up to 30% of cases, so it is very important to define risk factors associated with the occurrence of such events. The aim of this study was to define the causes and risk factors associated with the occurrence of neurological complications in patients after TEVAR. Materials and methods We performed a retrospective analysis of 51 patients undergoing TEVAR in the Department of Vascular Surgery of Military Teaching Hospital in Wroclaw between 2014 and 2017. In 18 patients LSA coverage was managed without revascularization (35.29%), and in 33 patients LSA remained uncovered (64.71%). Results We did not find any statistically significant difference in the incidence of stroke and spinal cord ischemia in patients with covered and uncovered LSA (stroke p = 0.37, SCI p = 0.58). In the group of patients with covered and uncovered LSA, we did not find any significant differences in the incidence of additional comorbidities such as obesity, ischemic heart disease, hypertension or previous stroke. Conclusions There is no difference in stroke and SCI occurrence between patients with covered and uncovered LSA. Although there are many studies analysing the risk of such complications, there is no specific consensus regarding the treatment of LSA coverage. Randomised clinical trials on a large group of patients are still needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are the 2 current standard treatments for carotid artery stenosis. There is still no well-defined consensus with regard to their superiority. However, the minimally invasive nature of endovascular treatment makes CAS increasingly popular among vascular surgeons. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of CEA and CAS in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A single-center, retrospective analysis of patients who were treated for carotid artery stenosis using CAS or CEA between January 2014 and December 2015 was carried out. There were 471 patients (266 CEA and 205 CAS) who were eligible for inclusion. The vast majority of the patients had significant (>70%) stenosis of the internal carotid artery (92.1% of CEA and 87.8% of CAS). The occlusion of the contralateral carotid artery was observed in 9.8% of all cases (2.6% of CEA vs 17.7% of CAS). RESULTS The occurrence of complications, such as stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) and death, did not vary statistically between the groups. There were 9 events of stroke in the CEA group (3.4%) and 8 in the CAS group (3.9%), 3 of which were fatal. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups (χ2 = 0.76; p > 0.05). There was no higher risk of mortality in any group (Fisher's exact test; p = 0.08). Symptomatic patients had a higher incidence of stroke than asymptomatic patients across both groups (χ2 = 6.36; p < 0.05; hazard ratio 3.03 (1.26-7.33)). CONCLUSIONS Carotid endarterectomy is equally effective as CAS in stroke prevention, but is associated with a higher incidence of cranial nerve palsy, access site hematoma and other non-stroke complications. Symptomatic patients had a higher incidence of stroke, regardless of the treatment method.

Abstract
A deep femoral artery (DFA) aneurysm is a very rare pathology of the vascular system. Peripheral arterial aneurysms constitute 4.6% of all aneurysms, of which 0.13% are DFA aneurysms. In the literature, there are still few reports on this vascular system pathology. As a result, its diagnosis and treatment remain a serious clinical problem. This case study is of a 95-year-old patient admitted to our Department with anemia, swelling, and lower left leg pain. Generally, open surgery seems to be the treatment of choice for DFA aneurysms although the possibilities of intravascular therapy require further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The patients with the aortic abdominal aneurysm of 55mm in diameter are qualified for surgery. There is open repair (OR) by means of the vascular prosthesis implantation or the less invasive endovascular method by means of the stent graft implantation through femoral arteries incision (EndovascularAorticRepair - EVAR). The aim of the study was the evaluation of the postoperative course in patients operated due to the aortic abdominal aneurysm and the evaluation of the impact of the surgical method on the short-time results. MATERIAL AND METHODS 124 patients operated due to the abdominal aortic aneurysm in Dept of Surgery of 4th Military Hospital in Wroclaw in 2014 were enrolled into the study: 53 patients with OR, 53 patients with EVAR, and 19 patients with a ruptured aneurysm. RESULTS Mortality was 0% in EVAR and 6% in OR and 39% in a ruptured aneurysm. Time of hospital stay was 5.8 days in EVAR vs 10 days in OR. The stay in ICU was 0% in EVAR vs 13% in OR. Blood transfusion was 9.4% in EVAR vs 66% in OR. Time of postoperative analgesia was 27 h in EVAR vs 76.8 h in OR. Cardio-respiratory decompensation was 1.9% in EVAR vs 7.6% in OR. Renal insufficiency was 2% in EVAR vs 9% in OR. The lower rate of organ complications was in EVAR. The ruptured aneurysm presented the most complicated postoperative course: hospital stay of 11.4 days, ICU stay of 78%, blood transfusion of 100%, painkillers of 136 hours, cardio-respiratory decompensation of 81% and renal insufficiency of 69%. CONCLUSIONS The method of treatment, the conditions of the admission and the type of surgery influenced the postoperative course. The elective EVAR patients presented both the 0% of mortality and the lightest postoperative course. The ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms operated as an emergency had the most complicated postoperative course.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bladder cancer is, in Poland, the fourth most common malignancy in men and the eighth most common in women. Radical cystectomy often seems to be the only method of treatment. This mutilating procedure may affect the quality of life of the patient. The aim of our study was to analyze the impact of factors influencing quality of life in patients after a cystectomy. METHODS From January to August 2015, 50 consecutive patients treated in the Department of Urology of the Wroclaw Medical University in Wroclaw were enrolled into the study. Sixty-three percent of the respondents were men. Fifty-two percent of the respondents lived in urban areas. Patients ranged in age from under 25 to over 51 years. Clinical and demographic data were collected. Quality of life was evaluated with the SF-36 health survey questionnaire. For statistical analysis, Student's t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used. Statistical analysis was carried out with IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows Version 21.0. RESULTS A decrease in quality of life was observed in both genders. The impact of place of residence on the occurrence of pain, health perception, vitality, and levels of physical and mental activity was found to be significant (p<0.05). Pain intensity, health perception, vitality, and levels of physical and mental activity were higher in patients living in urban areas. CONCLUSION Patients with bladder cancer who underwent a radical cystectomy were more likely to have a reduced quality of life if they lived in a village or small town than if they lived in an urban area.

Abstract
Background Liver function tests may help to predict outcomes after liver surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical impact on postoperative outcome and patient management of perioperative liver function testing using the LiMAx® test. Methods A multicentre RCT was conducted in six academic liver centres. Patients with intrahepatic tumours scheduled for open liver resection of at least one segment were eligible. Patients were randomized to undergo additional perioperative liver function tests (LiMAx® group) or standard care (control group). Patients in the intervention arm received two perioperative LiMAx® tests, one before the operation for surgical planning and another after surgery for postoperative management. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients transferred directly to a general ward. Secondary endpoints were severe complications, length of hospital stay (LOS) and length of intermediate care/ICU (LOI) stay. Results Some 148 patients were randomized. Thirty‐six of 58 patients (62 per cent) in the LiMAx® group were transferred directly to a general ward, compared with one of 60 (2 per cent) in the control group (P < 0·001). The rate of severe complications was significantly lower in the LiMAx® group (14 per cent versus 28 per cent in the control group; P = 0·022). LOS and LOI were significantly shorter in the LiMAx® group (LOS: 10·6 versus 13·3 days respectively, P = 0·012; LOI: 0·8 versus 3·0 days, P < 0·001). Conclusion Perioperative use of the LiMAx® test improves postoperative management and reduces the incidence of severe complications after liver surgery. Registration number: NCT01785082 (

Abstract
We report herein the development of a stereodivergent route towards polyhydroxylated bicyclic azetidine scaffolds, namely 6-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane derivatives. The strategy hinges on a common bicyclic β-lactam precursor, which is forged by way of a rare example of a cationic Dieckmann-type reaction, followed by IBX-mediated desaturation. Substrate-controlled diastereoselective oxidations then allow the divergent preparation of novel iminosugar mimics.

Abstract
We use a single trapped-ion qutrit to demonstrate the quantum-state-independent violation of noncontextuality inequalities using a sequence of randomly chosen quantum nondemolition projective measurements. We concatenate 53×10^{6} sequential measurements of 13 observables, and unambiguously violate an optimal noncontextual bound. We use the same data set to characterize imperfections including signaling and repeatability of the measurements. The experimental sequence was generated in real time with a quantum random number generator integrated into our control system to select the subsequent observable with a latency below 50 μs, which can be used to constrain contextual hidden-variable models that might describe our results. The state-recycling experimental procedure is resilient to noise and independent of the qutrit state, substantiating the fact that the contextual nature of quantum physics is connected to measurements and not necessarily to designated states. The use of extended sequences of quantum nondemolition measurements finds applications in the fields of sensing and quantum information.

Abstract
A radical new methodology for the exogenous mineralization of hard tissues is demonstrated in the context of laser-biomaterials interaction. The proposed approach is based on the use of femtosecond pulsed lasers (fs) and Fe3+-doped calcium phosphate minerals (specifically in this work fluorapatite powder containing Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NP)). A layer of the synthetic powder is applied to the surface of eroded bovine enamel and is irradiated with a fs laser (1040 nm wavelength, 1 GHz repetition rate, 150 fs pulse duration and 0.4 W average power). The Fe2O3 NPs absorb the light and may act as thermal antennae, dissipating energy to the vicinal mineral phase. Such a photothermal process triggers the sintering and densification of the surrounding calcium phosphate crystals thereby forming a new, dense layer of typically ∼20 μm in thickness, which is bonded to the underlying surface of the natural enamel. The dispersed iron oxide NPs, ensure the localization of temperature excursion, minimizing collateral thermal damage to the surrounding natural tissue during laser irradiation. Simulated brushing trials (pH cycle and mechanical force) on the synthetic layer show that the sintered material is more acid resistant than the natural mineral of enamel. Furthermore, nano-indentation confirms that the hardness and Young's modulus of the new layers are significantly more closely matched to enamel than current restorative materials used in clinical dentistry. Although the results presented herein are exemplified in the context of bovine enamel restoration, the methodology may be more widely applicable to human enamel and other hard-tissue regenerative engineering. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE In this work we provide a new methodology for the mineralisation of dental hard tissues using femtosecond lasers and iron doped biomaterials. In particular, we demonstrate selective laser sintering of an iron doped fluorapatite on the surface of eroded enamel under low average power and mid-IR wavelength and the formation of a new layer to substitute the removed material. The new layer is evaluated through simulated brushing trials and nano-indentation. From the results we can conclude that is more acid resistant than natural enamel while, its mechanical properties are superior to that of current restorative materials. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that someone demonstrated, laser sintering and bonding of calcium phosphate biomaterials on hard tissues. Although we here we discuss the case of dental enamel, similar approach can be adopted for other hard tissues, leading to new strategies for the fixation of bone/tooth defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect on enamel of varying the frequency of consumption of 1.0 mg F in milk once per day, twice per day or once every other day under cariogenic challenge in situ. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a controlled, randomised, cross-over, single-blind study, 25 subjects wore an intra-oral lower removable appliance with enamel slabs for 21 days during each study arm. Subjects used F-free toothpaste, the cariogenic challenge comprising of five 2 min dippings per day in a 12% sucrose solution. Subjects dipped the appliances in 50 ml of 5.0 ppm fluoridated milk for five minutes during the test period once per day, twice per day, and once every other day and drank 200 ml of the same milk, once per day, twice per day (100 ml each time), or once every other day (200 ml) immediately on re-inserting their appliance in order to replicate topical and systemic effects. Slabs were analysed with surface microhardness (SMH) for protection against further demineralisation and transverse microradiography (TMR) to assess changes in mineralisation. RESULTS Using SMH, 200 ml of 5.0 ppm F milk once per day was significantly better than 100 ml of 5.0 ppm F twice/day (p < 0.05) and 200 ml once every other day, but not significantly. Using TMR there was a statistically significant difference in mineral loss of enamel between baseline and treatment for all groups, but not between groups. CONCLUSIONS Drinking 200 ml of 5.0 ppm milk once per day every day protected enamel against further demineralisation whereas all three frequencies were effective in promoting remineralisation.

Abstract
Carotid artery dissection accounts for 20%–30% of all ischemic strokes in young patients aged <50 years. Recent guidelines on carotid disease management do not differentiate between traumatic and spontaneous dissection. We present a case of a 36-year-old male patient with the right internal carotid artery dissection treated with two XACT Abbot 6–8 mm × 40 mm stents placement after he was strangled during Krav Maga training. It is the most effective way to prevent the imminent stroke in the penumbral region. The safety and outcome of stent placement in internal carotid artery dissection remains unclear and further randomized trials are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the feasibility of acquiring quality transesophageal (TEE), epicardial (EE), and intracardiac (ICE) echocardiographic images in ovine subjects and to discuss the merits of each technique with a focus on ICE image acquisition. ANIMALS Eleven male castrated Dorset adult sheep. METHODS Transesophageal echocardiography was performed under general anesthesia. Epicardial echocardiography was performed as part of an open chest (thoracotomy or sternotomy) experiment. Subjects were recovered with permanent jugular vein indwelling catheter and ICE from this approach was described. Feasibility of each technique was qualitatively assessed based on subjective image quality from three images for each image plane in each sheep. RESULTS Transesophageal echocardiography was technically challenging and did not provide adequate image quality for consistent interpretation. Epicardial echocardiography and ICE had more favorable results with ICE demonstrating unique benefits for post-operative serial monitoring. CONCLUSIONS Epicardial echocardiography and ICE were effective imaging techniques. Epicardial echocardiography required the least specialized training but was considered to have limited feasibility due to its requirement for an open chest procedure. Even with the necessity for permanent indwelling jugular cannulation, ICE was the least invasive of the three imaging techniques and potentially the most practical approach for chronic studies by minimizing post-operative stress. Transesophageal echocardiography was not a feasible technique in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since perioperative morbidity and mortality in ALPPS are extraordinarily high, a deeper understanding of actual liver function during the procedure is essential to make the approach safer. METHODS Data from 17 patients who underwent ALLPS were analyzed regarding their course of liver function capacity assessed with the LiMAx test and compared to an equal-sized matched cohort of patients that underwent PVE. RESULTS A comparison of LiMAx prior to and following ALPPS Step I (330 [258-385] vs. 197 [144-224] μg/kg/h, p = 0.003) and prior to and following PVE (386 [330-519] vs. 378 [336-455] μg/kg/h, p = 0.534) demonstrated a significant drop in function after ALLPS. A volume/function analysis predicting FLR function regarding step II revealed an excellent correlation of predicted versus assessed postoperative liver function with a mean relative difference of 9 (-6 to 18)% and an ICC of 0.905 (123 [74-138] vs. 107 [77-175] μg/kg/h, p = 0.310). CONCLUSIONS We provide evidence that liver function capacity is significantly impaired due to ALPPS step I. This is particularly notable when compared to PVE. Our data also shows that the portal ligated liver lobe still continues to contribute significantly to overall liver function. Therefore, FLR function after step II is still predictable by volume/function analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate in vitro the effect of MI Paste, MI Paste Plus and 2800ppm fluoride (F) toothpaste (TP) on the remineralisation of enamel subsurface lesions and to compare these to the effect of 1450ppm and 0ppm F toothpastes. METHODS Enamel subsurface lesions were created in bovine enamel slabs (n=120) which were assigned randomly to five groups; (1) 0ppm F TP, (2) 1450ppm F TP, (3) 2800ppm F TP, (4) 1450ppm F TP+MI Paste (Tooth Mousse-TM,10% w/v CPP-ACP) and (5) 1450ppm F TP+MI Paste Plus (Tooth Mousse Plus,10% w/v CPP-ACP, 900ppm F as 0.2% w/w sodium fluoride). The enamel slabs were subjected to a pH cycling regimen for 21days. Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF) images were taken and analysed. Data analysis was carried out using one way ANOVA. RESULTS In all groups, both ΔF (percentage fluorescence loss) and ΔQ (ΔF times the area) values improved significantly within the same group after the treatment. In addition, the mean difference in ΔF of the non-fluoride control group was significantly lower than all other groups but not for the 2800ppm F- group. Whereas the mean difference in ΔQ of the non-fluoride control of group was significantly lower when compared with all other groups (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both MI Paste and MI Paste Plus when used in conjunction with 1450ppm F did not show a significant increase in efficacy for the remineralisation of bovine enamel subsurface lesions in the model used in this study. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Newer preventive agents such as MI paste and MI paste plus are advocated as promoting remineralisation when used in addition to routine oral care. This in vitro study shows that they may have a limited value in promoting remineralisation over and above that of 1450ppm F toothpaste used twice a day.

Abstract
Background Pain is one of the factors that decrease quality of life. Undergoing surgery is inevitably associated with the sensation of pain, which can affect a patient’s level of acceptance of an illness. The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of acceptance of illness in patients undergoing surgical treatment with relation to the pain perceived by them during surgical treatment and to determine other factors that affect adaptation to illness among patients subjected to invasive treatment. Material and methods The study was conducted on a group of 100 patients with mean age of 51.27 (SD=18.98) hospitalized in surgery departments in the Provincial Specialist Hospital in Wrocław, Poland, in April 2016. The Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain were used. Results The mean score of VAS was 3.86 (SD =2.02). The mean score of AIS was 24.42 (SD =7.35). The level of acceptance of illness was significantly negatively correlated with the intensity of pain (p<0.001; r=−0.498), the number of coexisting diseases (p=0.002; r=−0.31), age (p<0.001; r=−0.391), and the period of time since the operation (p=0.007; r=−0.266). Patients taking analgesics showed a significantly lower acceptance of illness than those who did not (p=0.009). A patient’s place of living, education, and sex had no significant impact on their acceptance of illness. Conclusion A higher level of pain translates into a lower adaptation to illness despite the use of analgesics, which may indicate that inadequate pain control leads to a decrease in the acceptance of illness. Further research on monitoring postoperative pain, as well as the development of postoperative prevention programs, is required.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the relationship between the degree of liver dysfunction, quantified by maximal liver function capacity (LiMAx test) and endothelin-1, TNF-α and IL-6 in septic surgical patients. Methods 28 septic patients (8 female, 20 male, age range 35–80y) were prospectively investigated on a surgical intensive care unit. Liver function, defined by LiMAx test, and measurements of plasma levels of endothelin-1, TNF-α and IL-6 were carried out within the first 24 hours after onset of septic symptoms, followed by day 2, 5 and 10. Patients were divided into 2 groups (group A: LiMAx ≥100 μg/kg/h, moderate liver dysfunction; group B: LiMAx <100 μg/kg/h, severe liver dysfunction) for analysis and investigated regarding the correlation between endothelin-1 and the severity of liver failure, quantified by LiMAx test. Results Group B showed significant higher results for endothelin-1 than patients in group A (P = 0.01, d5; 0.02, d10). For TNF-α, group B revealed higher results than group A, with a significant difference on day 10 (P = 0.005). IL-6 showed a non-significant trend to higher results in group B. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient revealed a significant correlation between LiMAx and endothelin-1 (-0.434; P <0.001), TNF-α (-0.515; P <0.001) and IL-6 (-0.590; P <0.001). Conclusions Sepsis-related hepatic dysfunction is associated with elevated plasma levels of endothelin-1, TNF-α and IL-6. Low LiMAx results combined with increased endothelin-1 and TNF-α and a favourable correlation between LiMAx and cytokine values support the findings of a crucial role of Endothelin-1 and TNF-α in development of septic liver failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy of colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) prior to liver resection implies the risk of chemotherapy-associated liver injury, leading to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the LiMAx (liver maximum capacity) test for diagnosis of chemotherapy-associated liver injury. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of patients with CLMs, prior to liver resection. We performed preoperative assessment of liver function using biochemical parameters and the LiMAx test. The individual history of chemotherapy within 12 months, including regimen, number of cycles, and therapy-free interval were collected, and histopathological evaluation of tumor-free liver tissue was performed in resected patients. RESULTS A total of 204 patients were included, of whom 127 (62%) had received previous chemotherapy. The LiMAx test was worse after chemotherapy (340 ± 95 vs. 391 ± 82 µg/kg/h; p < 0.001). Impaired LiMAx results (<315 µg/kg/h) were determined in 49% of patients after chemotherapy, and no effects of chemotherapy, liver steatosis or fibrosis on biochemical parameters were observed. LiMAx impairment was dependent on the number of oxaliplatin cycles, the therapy-free interval, and obesity in multivariate analysis. In addition, the LiMAx test was worse in patients with relevant steatosis, fibrosis and steatohepatitis. Patients with an impaired LiMAx showed sufficient regeneration during chemotherapy cessation when surgery was postponed (272 ± 57 - 348 ± 72 µg/kg/h; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION The LiMAx test enables non-invasive preoperative diagnosis of chemotherapy-associated liver injury. Preoperative performance of the LiMAx test can augment surgical strategy and timing of surgery after previous chemotherapy, thus avoiding increased postoperative morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects 3%-10% of the population before the age of 70 years and 15%-20% after that age.The aim of the study was to compare the incidence of complications and secondary interventions in patients who underwent each type of treatment. METHODS We analyzed 734 medical records of the Department of Surgery at the 4th Military Teaching Hospital in Wroclaw, In total, 394 were operated on with open surgery; an endarterectomy (59.39%), a vascular prosthesis implantation (31.01%), or both of these techniques (6.6%), and 340 patients had angioplasty with (50.59%) or without stenting (49.41%). RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of corresponding complications. The exception was the infection of the wound; significantly fewer were reported in the case of endovascular procedures (p = 0.0087). There were 12 occasions (3.53%) during endovascular surgeries when intraoperative conversion or re-operation using the open method occurred. In the case of open surgery, the mean hospital stay was 7.77 days (median: 8, mode: 8), while for endovascular management it was equal to 4.68 days (median: 4, mode: 3), p <0.0001. CONCLUSION The endovascular method results in a similar re-operation rate and number of complications as open surgery.

Abstract
The amputation of the lower limb is a crippling procedure, which impairs both physical and mental aspect of the patient’s life and therefore, it is important to provide these patients with comprehensive health care. Patients and their families must change their lives and reorganize them, which is undoubtedly associated with a decrease in the quality of life. The aim of this study was to analyze various determinants of quality of life in patients after lower limb amputation and their impact on the physical, mental and social aspect of life. Based on the available literature, this paper discusses certain factors determining quality of life, including the presence of phantom pain and stump pain, the way patients move, independence in daily activity, occupational activity, and access to rehabilitation. Analysis of the impact of particular factors on quality of life in people after lower limb amputation may contribute to the improvement and introduction of new paradigms regarding care provided for amputees.
