Abstract
This article presents a clinical technique for transferring Digital Smile Design (DSD) information and a digital wax-up to fabricate highly personalized ceramic laminate veneers. The hybrid workflow of digitally designed wax-up and conventional hand-crafted veneers is showcased in a female adult who sought to improve her smile due to maxillary anterior incisal wear. The ceramic veneers, layered by feldspathic porcelain, followed the contours and shade blueprint planned with the digital wax-up. The DSD improved the harmony of the facial-and-smile relationship, and the ceramic restorations fulfilled the patient's esthetic and functional demands. Guides based on the printed model with the digitally designed wax-up can provide a reference for pressed lithium disilicate veneers layered with feldspathic porcelain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the current guidelines, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) for primary prevention in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) should not be considered until optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has been achieved for a minimum of 3 months. Optimization of GDMT often needs time beyond 3 months after diagnosis. The aim of the Heart Failure Optimization Study (HF-OPT) is to evaluate the recovery of left ventricular function beyond 3 months after diagnosis of newly diagnosed HFrEF. METHODS The HF-OPT multicenter study is comprised of two non-randomized phases (registry and study). During the first 90 days a wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) is prescribed and patients are enrolled in an observational pre-study registry. Registry subjects meeting inclusion criteria for the study portion at day 90 have ongoing left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reassessment at 90, 180 and 360 days after the index hospital discharge, regardless of continued WCD use. Approximately 600 subjects will be enrolled in the study portion. Of those, one-third are anticipated to start the study phase at day 90 with reduced LVEF. The primary objective of this study is to observe the rate of recovery of LVEF > 35% between 90 and 180 days, while key secondary endpoints include mortality and WCD recorded arrhythmias and shocks. DISCUSSION The HF-OPT study will provide important information on the rate of additional recovery of LVEF > 35%, between 90 and 180 days, in newly diagnosed HF with reduced LVEF patients being titrated with GDMT. The results of the study may impact indications for primary prophylactic ICD implantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
LDS is a rare disease due to genetic variants in the TGFB pathway. Limited information is available regarding the overall aortic and vascular outcome of these patients
Purpose
To evaluate aortic and vascular complications of patients with mutations in the TGFB pathway.
Methods
Retrospective longitudinal study including patients with (likely) pathogenic (LP/P) variants in the TGFbeta pathway from 10 tertiary centers. Clinical and imaging data were reviewed and data on aortic and vascular outcome included.
Results
A total of 163 patients were included (47.9% women, 38.6% index cases), mean age at first evaluation 32.3±20.4 years, 27.0% with age <16 years. 70 TGFBR1, 43 TGFBR2, 29 SMAD3, 9 TGFB2 and 12 TGFB3 (Table1)
During a mean follow-up of 4.7±3.7 years, 54 (33.1%) patients had at least 1 aortic surgery (max 6). Mean age at first aortic surgery was 37.2±16.8 years (Range 1.2–72.9). First surgery was elective in 42 (77.8%), and included aortic root or ascending aorta in 40 (95.2%) and isolated descending aorta in 2 (4.8%). Emergent surgery included aortic root or ascending aorta in 11 (92.7%). Ascending aorta-root diameter previous to elective surgery was 48.9±4.9mm (range 41–65). 7 patients died during follow-up (2 intracranial bleeding, 1 SD, 2 aortic ruptures, 1post aortic surgery, 1 non-CV). Furthermore, 19 acute aortic syndromes (AAS) were reported (17 dissections, 2 haematomas) in 18 patients, 10 type A (52.6%). Mean age at first AAS was 42.3±11.1 years (min 19.7 years to 62.9 years)
Median survival free of intervention, dissection or death was 57.1 years, being worst for men than women (44.7 yrs vs 69.1 years, p<0.001) (Figure 1), these gender-difference only remained significant in the TGFBR1 and SMAD3 groups (p=0.005 and p=0.008) Regarding aortic branch and intracranial aneurysms, a total of 383 imaging studies of aortic branches and 223 cranial imaging studies were performed during the clinical follow-up. 21 cranial aneurysms and 73 aortic branch aneurisms were reported. 14 (11.5%) patients suffered 19 aneurysms-related events (3 dissections, 3 ruptures, 13 interventions).
Conclusions
In patients with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, there's a high prevalence of aortic surgeries and acute aortic events, with high numbers of peripheral and intracranial aneurysms. A worst prognosis in men than in women is observed in TGFBR1 and SMAD3 variants. Thus, specialized clinical and imaging follow-up is crucial in the management of these patients

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (rEF) have a poor prognosis. Nevertheless, in the subgroup of patients with recovered ejection fraction (recEF) prognosis is unknown.
Purpose
To analyze characteristics and prognosis in patients with HFrEF (initial EF and at one year <40%) and HFrecEF (initial EF <40% and at one year ≥40% with ≥10% absolute improvement from the initial value).
Methods
Retrospective observational study of outpatients referred to the HF unit within March/2006 and November/2021. Baseline characteristics, ecocardiographic data and follow-up were collected, discerning between patients with HFrEF and HFrecEF.
Results
A total of 346 patients (76.0% men) were analyzed with a mean of age 66.3 (IQR 57.8–74.4) years, of which 50.6% remained with rEF and 49.4% recEF. Median follow-up was 4.6 (2.8–7.9) years. Both groups had a similar risk profile albeit less prevalence of dyslipidemia in the group with recEF (43.5% vs 56.7%, p=0.015). Ischemic etiology predominated in those with rEF (41.7% vs 25.7%, p=0.002) and enolic in recEF (10.5% vs 3.4%, p=0.009). The incidence of combined event (readmission for HF or death) was lower in HFrecEF (33.6% vs 66.4%, p<0.001), as well as death (33.9% vs 66.1%, p<0.001) and readmission for HF (24.4% vs 75.6%, p<0.001). Prevalence of cardiovascular death was lower in the group with recEF (37.8% vs 61.1%, p=0.021). In the multivariate analysis, rEF was an independent predictor for the combined event (HR 2.17; 95% IC [1.45–3.25], p<0.001), as well as for global mortality and readmission for HF.
Conclusion
Patients with HFrecEF have a similar risk profile than patients with HFrEF although with better long-term prognosis.

Abstract
Introduction
Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have an increased risk for cardiovascular morbimortality. Clinical risk factors, specifically for arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death remain understudied. Objectives This study was conducted to assess differences in cardiac conduction among BD patients. Methods We included patients with BD in a cross-sectional design, confirmed by structured interview, age 18 through 80. Clinical characteristics were obtained using a structured questionnaire or medical records review. ECG intervals duration and morphology were manually assessed by cardiologists and compared among clinical subgroups using Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskall-Wallis tests. Exploratory multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fitted to adjust for potential confounders. Results We included 117 patients (60.7% women, 76.9% bipolar I, 50% history of psychosis, 22.6% suicide attempts). We found a significantly longer QTc interval in BD patients with hypertension (difference: 9.5 ms, p=0.006), obesity (difference: 25 ms, p=0.001), and metabolic syndrome (difference: 13 ms, p=0.007). Hypertension remained a significant predictor of longer QTc after adjusting for age, gender, and antipsychotic use (estimate 17.718, p=0.018). We observed a significantly shorter PR interval in women (difference: 6 ms, p=0.029), early age of onset (difference 6 ms, p=0.025), non-users of lithium (difference 4 ms, p=0.002), and early trauma (difference 4 ms, p=0.038). Finally, we identified significant correlations between symptom severity, blood glucose and PR interval (r=0.298, p=0.001; r=0.278, p=0.003; respectively). Conclusions Patients with BD and hypertension may have an increased risk for QTc prolongation. Careful cardiovascular monitoring may be warranted. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac troponin is independently associated with cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Their joint effect is yet to be clarified.
Purpose
This study aims to evaluate the prognostic implication of myocardial injury and CKD in patients attended in an emergency room.
Methods
Retrospective study carried out between January 2012 and December 2013 with consecutive patients attended in an emergency room with troponin determination, who were distributed into four cohorts according to positive troponin and/or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <45ml/min/ 1.7. We analysed their baseline characteristics and the four-year prognosis.
Results
3622 patients were included (median age 68.5 years [IQR 55.5–79.5]; 43% were women). Compared to subjects with normal GFR, the 565 subjects with CKD were significantly older (80.5 vs 66.5 years), with worse cardiovascular profile (arterial hypertension: 87% vs 56%; diabetes mellitus: 46% vs 22%) and greater comorbidity (history of myocardial infarction: 29% vs 18%; heart failure: 17% vs 5%; peripheral vascular disease: 16% vs 5%; cerebrovascular disease: 13% vs 7%%). Myocardial injury was also related to elderly and worse cardiovascular profile and comorbidity, especially in normal GFR subjects. 23.5% (718 subjects) of normal GFR subjects presented with myocardial injury. This percentage was much higher in the presence of renal impairment (331 subjects, 58.6%). Troponin was associated with a higher risk of death (both in-hospital and during follow-up) and of readmission due to infarction or heart failure, regardless of GFR. The reference cohort in the multivariate competing risk mode was that with subjects without myocardial injury or kidney disease. This analysis showed the worst MACE (all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and heart failure admission) in four-year follow-up in patients with renal impairment and positive troponin (HR 3.94, 95% CI 3.317–4.682), second worst MACE in those with myocardial injury and with normal GFR (HR 2.408, 95% CI 2.064–2.811), and then abnormal GFR patients with negative troponin (HR 1.532, 95% CI 1.220–1.923). Patients with both myocardial injury and renal impairment had the highest mortality (HR 4.633, 95% CI 3.829–5.604) and more readmissions for heart failure (HR 2.163, 95% CI 1.647–2.841). The myocardial-injury-and-normal-GFR cohort showed significantly higher mortality than the renal-impairment-with-negative-troponin cohort (HR 2.669 vs HR 1.794), more heart failure (HR 1.951 vs 1.067) and more myocardial infarctions (HR 2.439 vs 1.235) in the follow-up.
Conclusion
The results suggest that myocardial injury has better predictive power than chronic kidney disease for MACE events and also for individually mortality, readmission for heart failure or myocardial infarction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This multicenter study aimed to assess the performances of gradient diffusion (GD) method in comparison to broth microdilution (BMD) method for susceptibility testing of dalbavancin, daptomycin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin. METHODS Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) were retrospectively determined concomitantly by BMD and GD methods, for 93 staphylococci and enterococci isolated from clinical samples. BMD was considered as the gold standard. Essential (EA) and categorical agreements (CA) were calculated. Discordant categorical results were categorized as major (ME) and very major errors (VME). RESULTS EA and CA were 95.7% and 96.8%, 82.8% and 100%, 97.8% and 96.8%, and 94.6% and 95.7% for dalbavancin, daptomycin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin respectively. Concerning dalbavancin, 3 ME without any VME were observed and discrepancies were low (≤ to 2 two-fold dilutions) between both methods. VME were noted in 1 and 3 cases for vancomycin and teicoplanin, respectively, and resulted from 1 two-fold dilution discrepancy in each case. EA was lower for daptomycin. When they were discrepant, BMD MICs were systematically higher than GD ones. Nevertheless, no categorical discrepancy was noted. CONCLUSIONS GD appears as an acceptable and convenient alternative for dalbavancin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin MICs determination. Our study also emphasizes how achieving accurate daptomycin MICs remains challenging.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Management of patients with heart failure (HF) should include patient reported outcomes (PROs). The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire is self-administered with subscales to evaluate HF symptom burden, physical limitations, social limitations (recreational participation), and quality of life (QoL). Change in PROs among newly diagnosed patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) prescribed a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) and initiating guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has not been assessed.
Purpose
Examine PROs over 180 days of receiving GDMT for newly diagnosed HFrEF.
Methods
Patients (n=93, 75.3% male) were enrolled ≤10 days post-hospitalization for new onset HF; all patients had an EF ≤35% and were prescribed a WCD. Health status, as measured by PRO was assessed at baseline, day 90, and day 180. Controlling for age and EF at baseline, changes in PROs over the 180-day study period were evaluated using repeated measures modeling. Pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni adjustments were used to compare adjacent timepoints. Higher scores reflect better health status.
Results
After controlling for age (mean 56±13.4) and baseline EF (mean 22±7.7) improvements in health status were observed. From baseline to day 90, physical limitation, symptom frequency, QoL, and the summary score all increased (Δ: 17.8, 23.7, 28.4, 23.7, respectively; all p's <0.05). From day 90 to day 180, only QoL continued to improve (Δ 7.5, p=0.001). Change in social limitations over time was not significant (p=0.42).
Conclusion
Patients report improved health status in the months following a new diagnosis of HFrEF when prescribed a WCD and GDMT.

Abstract
ObjectivesTo evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of adjunctive aripiprazole (ARI) to lithium (LI) or valproate (VAL) in delaying time to relapse in bipolar I disorder.MethodsBipolar I disorder subjects with a current manic or mixed episode received LI or VAL for at least 2 weeks; inadequate responders (YMRS score ≥ 16 and ≤35% decrease from baseline at 2 weeks) received adjunctive ARI. Subjects maintaining mood stability (YMRS and MADRS ≤ 12 for 12 consecutive weeks) were randomised 1:1 to double-blind ARI (10 to 30 mg/day) or placebo (PBO) plus LI or VAL. Relapse was monitored up to 52 weeks.Results337 subjects were randomised to continuation of mood stabiliser plus adjunctive ARI or PBO; 61.3% and 52.7%, respectively, completed the study. Adjunctive ARI significantly delayed the time to any relapse, hazard ratio = 0.544 (95% CI: 0.33, 0.89, log-rank p = 0.014). Overall relapse rates at 52 weeks were 14.9% and 25.4% in ARI vs PBO subjects. A superior reduction in CGI-BP Mania Severity of Illness from baseline at 52 weeks was also observed (0.3 vs. 0.0, respectively, p = 0.01). Adverse events generally were as expected per known drug and illness profiles with no significant difference in mean change in body weight between adjunctive PBO (0.60 kg) and adjunctive ARI (1.07 kg) (p = 0.49 Week 52, LOCF).ConclusionContinuation of aripiprazole treatment increased time to relapse to any mood episode compared with placebo plus LI/VAL over 1 year, indicating a long-term benefit in continuing adjunctive aripiprazole to a mood stabiliser after sustained remission is achieved.

Abstract
Personality dimensions related with drug use are novelty seeking, impulsivity and harm avoidance. Studies predicting drug of choice over personality variables are controversial.ObjectiveTo describe personality profile of drug users in relation to substance of choice.AimsTo know personality dimension differences according to drug used.MethodsCloninger's TCI-R was administered to 218 patients in a dual diagnosis unit.SPSS was applied.ResultsOf the patients, 33.94% had personality disorder. Principal substances used were alcohol, cocaine and cannabis.Most of drug users had normal scores in each dimension. No high scores were found in reward dependence, self-directedness and cooperativeness with any drug.High scores were observed for novelty seeking in 42.9% of timulants users; for arm avoidance in a quarter of cocaine, alcohol and methadone users and for persistence in 18.2% of hypnotics users.Low scores were observed for reward dependence in 45% of heroine and hypnotics users; for persistence in 50% of methadone and 32% of cocaine users; for self-directedness in most of types of drug users and for cooperativeness in up to 50% in heroine, hypnotics, stimulants and cocaine users.Statistical significant differences were observed for cocaine use and high novelty seeking and low cooperation; for non cannabis use and high harm avoidance; for non anfetamine use and low scores in reward dependence; for opiate use and low self-directedness.ConclusionsMost of patients had normal scores in the different dimensions.Presence of comorbid personality disorder led us to consider the results with caution.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Effective planning of health policies requires the availability of accurate data, representing the burden of disease and risks to the diverse components of society. In Argentina, health information comes from the national risk factors survey (NRFS), which characterises the distribution of different risk factors. However, the NRFS has never collected information from residents living in slums, despite slums representing 10% of the population. The objective of this survey was to characterise the prevalence of cardiovascular and other risk factors among the inhabitants of one of the largest slums in Buenos Aires (Villa 31) and compare it to data from the NRFS. STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in 400 slum households, using the same data structure as the NRFS. The survey obtained information about economic aspects, reproductive health, addictions and risk factors. All participants had their blood pressure, weight and height measured. A total of 406 people were interviewed and their data were compared with data from 32,365 people in the NRFS. All comparisons were made on the basis of age group. RESULTS A fair/poor self-perceived level of health (odds ratio [OR] 3.19, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.60-3.91), anxiety and moderate to severe depression (OR 5.44, 95% CI: 4.43-6.69), problem drinking (OR 10.01, 95% CI 8.08-12.40), self-reported hypertension (OR 1.26, 95% CI: 1.01-1.57), overweight (OR 1.26, 95% CI: 1.03-1.55) and obesity (OR 1.72, 95% CI: 1.38-2.15) were significantly higher in the slum population. In people aged 18-24 years, the prevalence of diabetes was triple the national average (OR 3.17, 95% CI: 1.26-7.98). For all evaluated conditions in this study, the inhabitants of the slum received significantly less treatment compared with participants from the NRFS. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of cardiovascular and other risk factors in the slum population has a different distribution to that reported in the NRFS. These data suggest the need to establish specific policies for slum populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
Alpacas, similar to other camelids, are classified as induced ovulators, as an external stimulus is required for the occurrence of ovulation. A protein identified as β-nerve growth factor, present in the seminal plasma (SP), has the capacity to induce ovulation and corpus luteum formation. Alpacas exhibit poor reproductive efficiency, with birth rates below 50% due in part to high embryo mortality before 35 days post-mating. A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of the application of SP on Day 0, 5, or 7 post-mating on pregnancy rate and embryo survival, defined as the difference in the numbers of pregnant females between Day 35 and 25. Nonpregnant adult alpaca females (n=124) between 5 to 6 years old were evaluated by transrectal ultrasonography to determine presence of a follicle ≥7mm, and then 2 days later to confirm permanence of the follicle. Alpacas were then bred by natural mating and assigned randomly to 1 of 4 treatments: 1mL of SP IM at mating; 1mL of SP IM Day 5 post-mating; 1mL of SP IM Day 7 post-mating; and control. Semen was collected from adults male and ejaculates were diluted 1:1 with PBS and then centrifuged for 30min at 3000 rpm. Supernatant was separated and a drop evaluated to determine absence of spermatozoa and SP-free sperm was stored at −20°C. Twenty adult males with optimal reproductive performance were used for mating with females assigned to the different treatments. Animals were evaluated by ultrasound with an Aloka SSD 500 (Aloka, Tokyo, Japan) and 5.0-MHz linear transducer on Day 25 and 35 to determine pregnancy rate and embryonic survival. Data were analysed by chi-square. Results are present in Table 1. The results differ from our initial hypothesis and a possible explanations may be that additional application of SP IM could saturate receptors and block the action of the seminal plasma present in the ejaculate of males.

Abstract
Background The change from non-molecular to nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) is known to increase the detection of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI); however, the impact on stool rejection policies in clinical laboratories is unclear. The current guidelines have reinforced the importance of respecting strict conditions for performing tests on stool samples for CDI diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to estimate whether the implementation of molecular tests has resulted in changes in stool rejection policies between clinical laboratories that introduced NAATs and those that did not. Results A survey was conducted to evaluate the change in the number of stool samples rejected and the rejection criteria among 12 hospital laboratories in southwestern France before and after the switch from non-molecular tests to NAATs using retrospective data from June 1 till September 30, 2013 and the same period 2014. Four laboratories introduced NAATs as a second or third step in the process. A total of 1378 and 1297 stools samples were collected in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The mean number of rejected stool samples significantly increased (p < 0.001, Chi square test), with a total of 99 (7.1%) and 147 (11.3%) specimens rejected in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Notably, these laboratories had more stringent criteria and were no longer testing the stool samples of patients with CDI-positive results within 7 days. In contrast, there was a significant decrease in the rate of rejected stool samples (p < 0.001, Chi square test) in the five laboratories that did not adopt NAATs and a less stringent stool rejection policy. Conclusion Nucleic acid amplification test implementation improved compliance with recommended stool rejection policies. Laboratories should follow the recommended laboratory algorithm for the CDI diagnosis combined with the correct stool rejection policy.

Abstract
Abstract:To estimate the pulmonary capillary pressure, a theory was introduced by Holloway and coworkers. Based upon this, a mathematical model describing the measured data was developed. Because the physiologic data are embedded in noise and the pulmonary capillary pressure cannot be measured directly, we simulated an extensive series of data. The noise properties of the data were as analyzed to design a signal-processing tool, that cancels the noise from the measured data. The signal processing tool developed for the current application consists of pre-processing with a moving time average filter and post-processing with a neural network. After a verification procedure the tool can be applied to measured data, hence a more reliable measurement of the pulmonary capillary pressure is achieved.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae septic arthritis remains low in the general population. Its clinical and microbiological diagnostic remains difficult. CASE REPORT We report a 44-year-old man who presented with a monoarthritis of the right ankle. The diagnosis of gonoccocal septic arthritis was obtained by PCR from the joint fluid. Treatment with ceftriaxone was effective. CONCLUSION In patients with high risk of N. gonorrhoeae infection, PCR for detection of gonorrhea in synovial fluid could potentially facilitate the diagnostic of gonococcal septic arthritis.

Abstract
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproduction tool with several applications. Its effectiveness in bovines is lower than that in other species, mainly because of difficulties in the decondensation of the sperm nucleus after injection, and the presence of the acrosome and the plasma membrane which remain intact in this procedure. In this study, we assessed the effect of lysolecithin (LL) and Triton X-100 (TX), in combination with glutathione (GSH) as sperm pretreatments prior to ICSI. The GSH-LL and GSH-TX groups showed 0% of spermatozoa with intact membrane (SYBR 14+/PI), in comparison with the control (63.3%) and GSH (65.7%) groups. The proportions of spermatozoa with damaged acrosome membrane in the GSH-LL, GSH-TX, GSH and control groups were 46%, 35.9%, 10.5% and 7.5%, respectively. Sperm chromatin decondensation analysis showed that the groups incubated for 3 hr with GSH presented greater decondensation (p < .05). Although fertilization was improved in all treatment groups evaluated, no differences were observed in the cleavage rate 72 hr after activation in the GSH (73.7%), GSH-LL (80.2%) and GSH-TX (77.8%) groups compared to the control (66.3%), neither in the blastocyst rate on day 8 (24.0%, 26.2%, 27.1% and 28.4% for the control, GSH, GSH-LL and GSH-TX groups, respectively). No differences were also observed in the total number of cells in all groups. In conclusion, although these sperm treatments promoted nuclear decondensation and induced plasma membrane disruption, these effects were not sufficient to improve bovine embryonic development after ICSI.

Abstract
IntroductionBehavioural, psychological and cognitive disturbance have been associated with hypothyroidism, even it has been suggested that this symptoms may remain despite adequate replacement therapy with thyroxine.ObjectiveTo describe prevalence, sociodemographics and clinical features of patients with hypothyroidism in an acute psychiatric unit.AimsTo know about the relation between hypothyroidism and psychiatric symptoms.MethodsData base collection of all patients admitted between 2010 and 2014 in the acute unit of our psychiatric hospital in Barcelona, was analyzed using SPSS program.ResultsIn all 3.1% of the 4536 total patients had hypothyroidism. Among them, 46% were duplicate cases. Mean age was 53 ± 14.27 years. A total of 82.7% were woman. Patients having a TSH lower than 0.30 were 12%, TSH normal were 60.2%, TSH higher than 5 were 27.8%. Most frequent Levothyroxine dosage was: 75 μg (22.1%), 100 μg (19%), 25 μg (12.5%) and 125 μg (12.5%). Diagnosis more frequently associated with hypothyroidism was: Bipolar (26.5%), Schizophrenia (20%), Depression (15.1%), Unspecified psychosis (10%), Personality disorder (10%), Schizoaffective disorder (7.2%), Paranoia 4.3%.ConclusionMost of patients were stable of thyroid condition when had been admitted to our hospital. Hypothyroidism could be a relapse factor, even when treatment is adequate. Affective disorders are more frequently related with hypothyroidism (lithium has to be consider a confounding factor).Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
IntroductionSeveral studies have suggested variations in the prevalence of schizophrenia spectrum disorders diagnosis across time. This could be due to a change in diagnostic practice motivated either for changes in DSM criteria as for local culture factors. The aim of this study is to explore the evolution of the schizophrenia spectrum disorders. We hypothesize that we would observe a transference from the schizophrenia diagnosis to psychosis not otherwise specified.MethodsA retrospective review of all psychiatric discharges in acute unit in the INAD of Parc de Salut Mar of Barcelona, between 2002 and 2014 was performed, relating each discharge to its axis I psychiatric diagnostic. An ANOVA analysis was used to calculate the differences between the months and the frequency of the diagnosis.ConclusionWe have not been able to observe any transference between diagnoses across years. We observe a decrease of the proportion of schizophrenic spectrum disorders in its prevalence at discharge from 2012 to 2014. The proportion of not otherwise specified psychosis remains quite constant as a third of the schizophrenia diagnoses.Disclosure of interestThe authors report no conflict of interest in this study.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most potent and perilous diseases known, with a median survival rate of 3-5 months due to the combination of only advanced stage diagnosis and ineffective therapeutic options. Metformin (1,1-Dimethylbiguanide hydrochloride), the leading drug used for type 2 diabetes mellitus, emerges as a potential therapy for PDAC and other human cancers. Metformin exerts its anticancer action via a variety of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK)- dependent and/or AMPK-independent mechanisms. We present data here showing that metformin downregulated pancreatic transcription factor pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1), suggesting a potential novel mechanism by which metformin exerts its anticancer action. Metformin inhibited PDX-1 expression at both protein and mRNA levels and PDX-1 transactivity as well in PDAC cells. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) was identified as a PDX-1-interacting protein by antibody array screening in GFP-PDX-1 stable HEK293 cells. Co-transfection of ERK1 with PDX-1 resulted in an enhanced PDX-1 expression in HEK293 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Immunoprecipitation/Western blotting analysis confirmed the ERK-PDX-1 interaction in PANC-1 cells stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF). EGF induced an enhanced PDX-1 expression in PANC-1 cells and this stimulation was inhibited by MEK inhibitor PD0325901. Metformin inhibited EGF-stimulated PDX-1 expression with an accompanied inhibition of ERK kinase activation in PANC- 1 cells. Taken together, our studies show that PDX-1 is a potential novel target for metformin in PDAC cells and that metformin may exert its anticancer action in PDAC by down-regulating PDX-1 via a mechanism involving inhibition of ERK signaling.

Abstract
Alpacas are classified as induced ovulators, and an external stimulus is required for the occurrence of ovulation. The seminal plasma (SP) of camelids contains a protein identified as β nerve growth factor with the capacity to induce ovulation and corpus luteum formation. Alpacas have a poor reproductive efficiency and high embryo mortality rate. A study was designed to evaluate the use of SP to improve reproductive performance post natural mating (Exp. 1) and with different mounting time (MT; Exp. 2). Experiment 1: Nonpregnant alpacas (n = 117) exhibiting a dominant follicle = 7 mm, detected by transrectal ultrasonography, were bred by natural mating and then assigned randomly to 1 of 3 treatments: T1 (n = 40), 1 mL of SP IM; T2 (n = 39), 1 mL of GnRH analogue (0.0042 mg of buserelin acetate), IM; and T3 (n = 38), control. Experiment 2: Nonpregnant alpacas (n = 180) exhibiting a follicle = 7 mm were assigned randomly to the following treatments: T1 (n = 30): MT 5 min; T2 (n = 30): MT 5 min + 1 mL of SP; T3 (n = 30): MT 10 min; T4 (n = 30): MT 10 min + 1 mL of SP; T5 (n = 30): MT > 15 min; T6 (n = 30): MT > 15 min + 1 mL of SP. The same male was used for mating females in T1 and T2, T3 and T4, and T5 and T6, respectively. Animals were evaluated by ultrasound with an Aloka SSD 500 (Aloka, Tokyo, Japan) and 5.0-MHz linear transducer on Day 25 for pregnancy diagnosis. In Exp. 1 the conception rate was 67.5, 51.3, and 55.3% for T1, T2, and T3, respectively (P > 0.05). In Exp. 2 the conception rate was 46.2, 67.9, 57.1, 73.3, 61.8, and 72.7% for T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 (P < 0.05) and was significantly different between T1 v. T2 and T3 v. T4. The results suggest that the use of SP could be one method to improve reproductive performance in alpacas.
