Abstract
BACKGROUND Four-corner arthrodesis with scaphoid excision (FCA) and proximal row carpal resection (PRC) are frequently performed in wrists with post-traumatic Scaphoid Non- Union Advanced Collapse (SNAC)/Scapho-Lunate Advanced Collapse (SLAC) osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of these two procedures. METHODS This single-center, retrospective cohort study included all patients who had PRC or FCA between January 1st, 2009 and January 1st, 2019 and who were followed up. Follow-up included: mobility (radial deviation, ulnar deviation, flexion, extension), strength (grip test, pinch test), function (QuickDash, patient-rated wrist evaluation [PRWE]), subjective mobility, and global satisfaction scores. RESULTS Among 25 patients included, 11 had PRC and 14 had FCA with a mean follow-up of 69.5 months [12-132]. Radial deviation was 18° versus 14° (p = 0.7), ulnar deviation was 21° versus 22° (p = 0.15), flexion was 39° versus 30° (p = 0.32), extension was 32.5° versus 29.5° (p = 0.09), grip test compared to the controlateral side was 72% versus 62% (p = 0.53), Quick Dash score was 12.5 versus 17.6 (p = 0.84), PRWE was 18.7 versus 17.6 (p = 0.38), subjective mobility was 7.8 versus 7.5 (p = 0.23), and satisfaction score was 8.7 versus 9 (p = 0.76), respectively, in the FCA group and the PRC group. Re-operation rates were 14% patients in the FCA group and 0% in the PRC group. CONCLUSION This study found no significant difference between FCA and PRC on strength, mobility, and function in patients with post-traumatic SLAC or SNAC stage II wrist arthritis. Both FCA and PRC seem to be reliable surgical techniques with good outcomes with more revision in the FCA group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gelatinous pleural effusion, due to raised hyaluronic acid, can be associated with pleural infection and malignancies, such as tuberculosis, metastatic pleural disease, and mesothelioma. This report is of an 80-year-old man presenting with a gelatinous pleural effusion and diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma. CASE REPORT An 80-year-old man with diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, metastatic prostate cancer, 30-pack-year smoking history, and 5-year history of asbestos exposure (during his 30s), presented with a 4-week history of breathlessness and was found to have right-sided pleural effusion. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) showed mild right-sided pleural thickening. Pleural tap revealed exudative fluid, with a pH of 7.4, and unremarkable cytology and microbiology analyses. The patient was treated for pneumonia and para-pneumonic effusion and discharged home. He came back 5 weeks later with worsening of symptoms and re-accumulation of pleural fluid. Repeated thorax CT showed extensive right-sided pleural lobular thickening. Pleural tap again yielded an exudative fluid, with a pH of 7.37. Cytology and microbiology did not reveal any positive signs for malignancy or infection. This time the pleural fluid appeared gelatinous in consistency. Pleural biopsy showed atypical epithelioid mesothelial cells arranged in trabeculae, with a tubulo-papillary configuration. Also, immunohistochemistry panel showed tumor cells expressed calretinin, EMA, WT1, and D2-40, with negative TTF1, CEA, and BerEp4. Final diagnosis was epithelioid mesothelioma. CONCLUSIONS This report has shown that a gelatinous pleural effusion can be associated with malignant and inflammatory pleural diseases. In this case, imaging and pleural biopsy with histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma.

Abstract
Background Sarcomatoid carcinomas are extremely rare tumors made of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. They have been found in various organs, but presence in the common bile duct (CBD) has only been reported a handful of times. Insight regarding the clinical history, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis is limited. The majority of CBD sarcomatoid carcinomas have occurred in elderly women, including this case. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment and the roles for chemotherapy and radiation therapy are undetermined. Prognosis is variable, but generally poor. Purpose Additional information regarding sarcomatoid carcinomas of the CBD will aid in establishing a timely diagnosis and may alter treatment options and prognosis. We aim to add to the limited literature surrounding this rare CBD neoplasm. Method A 71-year-old female presented with painless jaundice, decreased appetite, and weight loss. Initial investigations showed an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of 3075 U/L, aspartate transaminase (AST) of 507 U/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of 298 U/L, total bilirubin of 325.5 µmol/L, and direct bilirubin of 254.1 µmol/L. Initial computed tomography (CT) scan done showed marked intra- and extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation with appropriate tapering and the presence of a distal CBD hyperdensity. Tissue biopsy obtained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was suspicious for a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. The differential also included synovial sarcoma and sarcomatoid mesothelioma. Result(s) After multidisciplinary discussion involving hepatobiliary surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology, pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed; there was no role for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy/radiation therapy. Final pathology revealed a well circumscribed mass with a narrow attachment to the posterior CBD, measuring 5.6 x 3.2 x 2.8 cm. Immunohistochemistry showed mixed differentiation with sarcomatoid, squamous, and glandular components, consistent with a sarcomatoid carcinoma. H3K27me3 expression was lost in neoplastic cells. Immunostaining showed strong expression of vimentin and weak expression of CD34, calretinin, CK5 and EMA. Post-operative course was complicated by pancreaticojejunal leak, surgical wound infection, myocardial injury, and esophageal stricturing. 14-weeks post-pancreaticoduodenectomy the patient was found to have C.difficile infection and a perforated viscus, exact location of which was not visible on imaging. Emergent laparotomy revealed a gastroduodenal leak and diffuse small bowel ischemia. The patient passed away shortly after emergent surgery. Conclusion(s) This case illustrates a rare presentation of sarcomatoid carcinoma within the CBD and highlights some of the diagnostic challenges, limited management strategies, complications, and potential poor prognosis of the disease. Further research is required to guide diagnosis and management, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early non-infectious complications at initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) are a major burden with unknown long-term impacts on individuals. METHODS Prospective multicentre cohort study using univariable and multivariable Cox regression to identity mortality risk and PD discontinuation risk in those with and without non-infectious complications. All individuals commencing PD between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2018, registered in the New Zealand Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (NZPDR) were followed up to 31 December 2020. Early non-infectious complications defined as functional, catheter-related, exit-site dialysate leak or anatomical leak complications occurring within 30 days of initiation of PD. Primary outcomes were patient survival and time on PD therapy. Secondary outcomes were peritonitis free survival, first PD catheter survival and catheter tunnel infection free survival. RESULTS Of 1596 individuals included in the study, 102 experienced an early non-infectious complication. Multivariable analysis demonstrated these complications were associated with higher risk of overall mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 1.71; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21-2.44), PD discontinuation (HR 1.84; 95% CI 1.41-2.41) and first catheter failure (HR 2.89; 95% CI 2.28-3.66). No difference was found for risk of development of first peritonitis episode or catheter tunnel infection. Mortality risk was associated with functional and exit-site dialysate leak complications and continued beyond 180 days. Risk of PD discontinuation and first catheter loss were associated with catheter and functional complications in the first 180 days. CONCLUSION Early non-infectious complications are associated with long-term mortality risk. Further research in risk factors and causes of early non-infectious complications are required.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Frailty and sarcopenia have been shown to significantly increase the risk of falls, traumatic hip fractures and all-cause mortality in the elderly. The assessment of frailty using a validated clinical frailty scale such as that proposed by Rockwood et al., therefore, continues to remain an important step in determining post-operative prognosis in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between frailty and serum albumin—an independent biochemical predictor of survival in hip fracture patients (1).
Method
This retrospective cross-sectional study analysed 190 patients, aged above 60 years, admitted to Queen’s Hospital Burton (QHB) between the 1st January and 28th December 2019 with a newly diagnosed hip fracture. Pre-operative serum albumin levels (g/L) and Rockwood clinical frailty scores (rCFS) were recorded from electronic medical records (EMR). Using the SPSS 27 statistical package, Pearson’s correlation co-efficient and linear regression analysis were carried out using these variables.
Results
A total of 190 patients were included in the study (57 male, 133 female). Mean patient age was 82.2 ± 8.47 years. More than 50% of patients had a Rockwood CFS ≥5. Mean serum albumin (g/L) was 37.3 ± 6.56. A statistically significant inverse correlation was demonstrated between pre-operative serum albumin levels and Rockwood CFS (r = −0.243, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
This study showed how serum albumin, a negative acute phase reactant and marker of chronic malnutrition, is inversely associated with frailty in hip fracture patients and the important role of Rockwood CFS and pre-operative serum albumin levels in the prognostication of hip fractures in the elderly.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
HGS has been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes in a wide range of conditions. It has also been found to be associated with bone mineral density and is inversely associated with risk of osteoporotic fractures. The aim of this study was to determine the association between HGS and 10 year probability of sustaining a major osteoporotic fractures in older inpatient and to evaluate the effect of gender on this association.
Method
This was a cross-sectional, observational analysis of older patients admitted into hospital between September and November 2021. HGS was measured in these patients using the JAMAR hydraulic hand held dynamometer. The Southampton protocol was used. The FRAX UK tool (without BMD) was used to calculate 10 year probability of major osteoporotic fractures. Patients were included if they were 60 years and above. Younger patients were excluded as were stroke patients. Patients with incomplete data were excluded from analysis. The SPSS 27 package was used for statistical analysis. Baseline characteristics were calculated using descriptive statistics. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression were used to calculate correlation.
Results
104 patients were analysed—41 males and 63 females. Mean age was 83 years (SD 8.2). Grip strength was inversely correlated with FRAX UK in predicting 10 year probability of major osteoporotic fractures in all patients, male patients and female patients (r = −0.452; p < 0.001, r = −0.351; p = 0.02 and r = −0.271; p = 0.03 respectively).
Conclusion
Grip strength is negatively associated with increased probability of major osteoporotic fractures in older inpatients. Reference(s) Ma Y, Fu L, Jia L, et al.

Abstract
Several surgical and anesthesia techniques are used in carpal tunnel surgery. The practices of members of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand and the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgery were recently published and compared. Because of the great difference in these practices, we investigated the practices of the members of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand and how they would change. An online survey including 14 systematic and 12 conditional questions was sent by email to all 685 surgeons who were members of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand in July 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The survey was completed by 129 members (19%). The open approach was used by 56% of the surgeons (8% by traditional open technique, 48% by minimally invasive open technique), endoscopic techniques by 40% and ultrasound-guided techniques by 4%. Most surgeons used regional anesthesia (69%) or local anesthesia (25%). Half of the surgeons (50%) would consider changing their surgical technique. Sixty-one percent were interested in ultrasound-guided techniques and 34% in endoscopic techniques. Almost half the surgeons (48%) would consider changing their anesthesia technique and 97% were interested in local anesthesia. Our study showed that the open approach and regional anesthesia were the most frequently used techniques but that an increase in endoscopic and ultrasound-guided techniques as well as local anesthesia techniques was likely.

Abstract
Vaccines against Staphylococcus aureus have eluded researchers for >3 decades while the burden of staphylococcal diseases has increased. Early vaccine attempts mainly used rodents to characterize preclinical efficacy, and all subsequently failed in human clinical efficacy trials. More recently, leukocidin AB (LukAB) has gained interest as a vaccine antigen. We developed a minipig deep surgical wound infection model offering 3 independent efficacy readouts: bacterial load at the superficial and at the deep-seated surgical site, and dissemination of bacteria. Due to similarities with humans, minipigs are an attractive option to study novel vaccine candidates. With this model, we characterized the efficacy of a LukAB toxoid as vaccine candidate. Compared to control animals, a 3-log reduction of bacteria at the deep-seated surgical site was observed in LukAB-treated minipigs and dissemination of bacteria was dramatically reduced. Therefore, LukAB toxoids may be a useful addition to S. aureus vaccines and warrant further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify root causes of preventable adverse drug events (pADEs) contributing to hospital admission; to develop key messages which identify actions patients/families and healthcare providers can take to prevent common pADEs found; to develop a surveillance learning system for the community. METHODS Cross-sectional observational study; 120 patients and families, 61 associated healthcare providers were interviewed then root cause analysis was performed to develop key learning messages and an electronic reporting tool was designed. Most common pADE-related medical conditions and their root causes and most common pADE root causes of entire cohort are reported. RESULTS Most common pADE-related medical conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/asthma (13.3%), bleeding (12.5%), hypotension (12%), heart failure (10%), acute kidney injury (5%) and pneumonia (5%). Most common root causes were: providers not confirming that the patient/family understands information given (29.2%), can identify how a medication helps them/have their concerns addressed (16.7%), can identify if a medication is working (14.1%) or causing a side effect (23.3%); can enact medication changes (7.5%); absence of a sick day management plan (12.5%), and other action plans to help patients respond to changes in their clinical status (10.8%); providers not assessing medication use and monitoring competency (19.2%). Ten key learning messages were developed and a pADE surveillance learning system was implemented. CONCLUSIONS To prevent pADEs, providers need to confirm that patients/families understand information given, how a medication helps them, how to recognise and respond to side effects, how to enact medication changes and follow action plans; providers should assess patient's/families' medication use and monitoring competency.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although advances in medical technologies now allow greater reproductive options, the social acceptance of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has not been examined in East Asian countries which currently have the lowest fertility rates in the world and highly prohibitive regulations.
Methods
A cross-sectional telephone surveys interviewed 990 among Hong Kong Chinese adults (>18 years of age) in 2015 who were asked about their knowledge and attitudes towards various ART and their inclination to use ART. A focus group was conducted (n = 30) on physicians to examine the perceived barriers and benefits of integrating ART as routine offerings.
Results
Although nearly all adults (>92.0%) were familiar with ART procedures such as in vitro fertilization, sperm banking, and gestational surrogacy, attitudes supporting the use of these services and the inclination to use these services varied widely by socio-demographic attributes. Nearly one-third (31.5%) of women said that they would consider cryopreservation of their oocytes or embryos if they could afford it and 21.9% would encourage their female family members to do so. Although respondents considered sperm donation and embryo preservation to be well-accepted practices, support for these services was noticeably lower than in Western countries for unmarried individuals and homosexuals. Also, the vast majority of respondents were much more disinclined to use anonymous donor gametes than in Western countries. Among medical practitioners, the primary barriers to routine offering of these services to their clients was the perceived lack of cultural acceptance of these types of services.
Conclusions
Public support of assisted reproductive services for genetic offspring is well-accepted for heterosexual couples. Main Messages: Asian countries with sub-replacement fertility levels may consider integrating ART into their mainstream health services and updating their regulatory frameworks.
Key messages
Public support for assisted reproductive technologies is high for married couples only in Hong Kong. Given the sub-replacement fertility levels, cities in East Asia should consider updating regulatory frameworks to allow expansion of ART services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although induction of labor of low-risk nulliparous women at 39 weeks reduces the risk of cesarean delivery compared with expectant management, concern regarding more frequent use of labor induction remains, given that this intervention historically has been thought to incur greater resource utilization. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine whether planned elective labor induction at 39 weeks among low-risk nulliparous women, compared with expectant management, was associated with differences in health care resource utilization from the time of randomization through 8 weeks postpartum. STUDY DESIGN This is a planned secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial in which low-risk nulliparous women were assigned to induction of labor at 39 weeks or expectant management. We assessed resource utilization after randomization in 3 time periods: antepartum, delivery admission, and discharge through 8 weeks postpartum. RESULTS Of 6096 women with data available, those in the induction of labor group (n = 3059) were significantly less likely in the antepartum period after randomization to have at least 1 ambulatory visit for routine prenatal care (32.4% vs 68.4%), unanticipated care (0.5% vs 2.6%), or urgent care (16.2% vs 44.3%), or at least 1 antepartum hospitalization (0.8% vs 2.2%, P < .001 for all). They also had fewer tests (eg, sonograms, blood tests) and treatments (eg, antibiotics, intravenous hydration) prior to delivery. During the delivery admission, women in the induction of labor group spent a longer time in labor and delivery (median, 0.83 vs 0.57 days), but both women (P = .002) and their neonates (P < .001) had shorter postpartum stays. Women and neonates in both groups had similar frequencies of postpartum urgent care and hospital readmissions (P > .05 for all). CONCLUSION Women randomized to induction of labor had longer durations in labor and delivery but significantly fewer antepartum visits, tests, and treatments and shorter maternal and neonatal hospital durations after delivery. These results demonstrate that the health outcome advantages associated with induction of labor are gained without incurring uniformly greater health care resource use.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
We have targeted the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) isoform in murine intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) to explore the role of epithelial intrinsic retinoid signaling in intestinal immune homeostasis. We noted a significant decrease in the CD11c+ and CD103+ dendritic cell (DC) subpopulations in the intestines of intestinal-epithelial specific RARα-deficient (RARα villin) mice. In the present study, we identified Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) as a contributing factor that influences intrinsic RARα signaling within IECs. This cytokine preferentially stimulates CD103+ DCs to a more tolerogenic phenotype in the GI tract, induces Tregs and drives TH2 polarization. TSLP also influences immune homeostasis by modulating the activation of myeloid cells, inhibition of proinflamamtory DCs, and production of IL-12. Notably, TSLP levels are decreased in Crohn’s disease (CD) where inflammation is driven by IL-12.
Aims
We hypothesize that RA intrinsic signaling within IECs modulates TSLP expression via activation of RARα. We sought to generate a RARα -/- murine intestinal epithelial cell line utilizing the CRISPR/CAS9 system to examine the effects of RARa ablation. Second, we aim to establish RARα’s role in regulating intestinal epithelial TSLP expression in both the RARα villin mice and the CRISPR-generated RARα -/- cell line.
Methods
Exon 5 in the open reading frame of the RARα gene in Mode-K murine IECs was targeted using CRISPR/CAS9. CRISPR cleavage and knockdown of RARα activity was confirmed via surveyor/luciferase assays. The cell lines were phenotyped with regards to their morphology, proliferative ability, and viability. Next, we examined TSLP mRNA expression in the colons of RARα villin mice and the CRISPR RARα -/- knockout cell line via qRT-PCR under baseline and stimulated conditions. Wild-type (WT) and RARα-/- cells were stimulated with RARα-selective agonist, BMS753, and muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a NOD2-selective agonist.
Results
TSLP expression in surface colonic epithelium was elevated 2.3-fold in RARα villin mice compared to WT litter mates. TSLP expression was elevated 10-fold in the Mode-K RARα-/- cells versus parent cells at baseline. BMS753 stimulation resulted in a 15-fold increase in TSLP expression in the RARα-/- cells compared to baseline. When stimulated with MDP, a NOD2-selective agonist known to stimulate TSLP expression, TSLP expression was elevated 60-fold in the RARα-/- cells, but significantly impaired compared to the WT cells (400-fold).
Conclusions
TSLP expression is controlled by RARα in colonic IECs where it may act as a repressor of TSLP promoter transactivation under baseline conditions. This suggests an important role for RA on myeloid and T cell function via effects on intestinal epithelial TSLP expression.

Abstract
Background The rapid identification of deterioration in the pediatric population is complex, particularly in the emergency department (ED). A comprehensive multi-faceted Pediatric Early Warning System (PEWS) might maximize early recognition of clinical deterioration and provide a structured process for the reassessment and escalation of care. The objective of the study was to evaluate the implementation fidelity, effectiveness, and utility of a 5-component PEWS implemented in the ED of an urban public general hospital in British Columbia, Canada, and to guide provincial scale up. Methods We used a before-and-after design to evaluate the implementation fidelity, effectiveness, and utility of a 5-component PEWS (pediatric assessment flowsheet, PEWS score, situational awareness, escalation aid, and communication framework). Sources of data included patient medical records, surveys of direct care staff, and key-informant interviews. Data were analyzed using mixed-methods approaches. Results The majority of medical records had documented PEWS scores at triage (80%) and first bedside assessment (81%), indicating that the intervention was implemented with high fidelity. The intervention was effective in increasing vital signs documentation, both at first beside assessment (84% increase) and throughout the ED stay (> 100% increase), in improving staff’s self-perceived knowledge and confidence in providing pediatric care, and self-reported communication between staff. Satisfaction levels were high with the PEWS scoring system, flowsheet, escalation aid, and to a lesser extent with the situational awareness tool and communication framework. Reasons for dissatisfaction included increased paperwork and incidence of false-positives. Overall, the majority of providers indicated that implementation of PEWS and completing a PEWS score at triage alongside the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) added value to pediatric care in the ED. Results also suggest that the intervention is aligned with current practice in the ED. Conclusion Our study shows that high-fidelity implementation of PEWS in the ED is feasible. We also show that a multi-component PEWS can be effective in improving pediatric care and be well-accepted by staff. Results and lessons learned from this pilot study are being used to scale up implementation of PEWS in ED settings across the province of British Columbia.

Abstract
Altered microbiota has been associated with a number of diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes, and cancer. This dysregulation is thought to relate the host inflammatory response to enteric pathogens. Macrophages play a key role in host response to microbes and are involved in bacterial killing and clearance. This process is partially mediated through the potassium efflux-dependent, cytosolic, PYCARD-containing inflammasome protein complex. Surprisingly, we discovered an alternative mechanism for bacterial killing, independent of the NLRP3 inflammasome/PYCARD. Using the NLRP3 inflammasome-deficient Raw 264.7 and PYCARD-deficient J77 macrophages, which both lack PYCARD, we found that the potassium efflux activator nigericin enhances bacterial killing. Macrophage response to nigericin was examined by RT gene profiling and subsequent qPCR, which demonstrated altered expression of a series of genes involved in the IL-18 bacterial killing pathway. Based on our results we propose a model of bacterial killing, unrelated to NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophage cells. Improving understanding of the molecular pathways driving bacterial clearance within macrophage cells will aid in the development of novel immune-targeted therapeutics in a number of diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite the recognized importance of neuromuscular exercises, there is currently no widely accepted clinical outcome measure focused on neuromuscular control for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The purposes of the present study were to investigate the test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and longitudinal validity of the star excursion balance test (SEBT) in patients with knee OA. DESIGN 74 patients performed the SEBT on two sessions within 7 days, and on a third session after completing 12 weeks of a home exercise program focused on neuromuscular control. A subgroup of 37 performed the SEBT while in the field of view of a motion capture system to estimate concurrent validity. The SEBT was recorded in cm and also normalized to leg length (LL). Participants also completed the 40 m fast-paced walk test and patient-reported outcomes before and after the exercise program. RESULTS Intraclass correlation coefficients (95% confidence intervals) were 0.94 (0.91 to 0.96) and 0.93 (0.89 to 0.96) and standard errors of measurement were ±2.68 cm and ±3.05%LL for raw and normalized composite scores, respectively. The minimum detectable change at the 95% confidence level for the composite score was 7.44 cm and 8.45%LL. Correlations between observer and motion capture measures were very high (Pearson r > 0.96). There was a significant increase in SEBT following the exercise program (standardized response mean = 0.74). The change in SEBT had low correlations with changes in 40 m walk times (r = 0.26) and pain (r = 0.28). CONCLUSION The SEBT has suitable measurement properties for use in patients with knee OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the association of the quantity and the source of protein intake with mortality risk in Chinese older adults. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Community. PARTICIPANTS Community-dwelling Chinese adults aged >=65 (1,480 men, 1,540 women) in Hong Kong. MEASUREMENTS Food frequency questionnaire was used to capture baseline dietary intakes including protein, fiber, total grains, vegetables and fruit intakes. Primary outcome measures, identified from the death registry, were death from all causes, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Other demographic and lifestyle risk factors were also collected. Multivariate Cox proportion hazards regression was used to examine the association of protein intake with mortality risk. RESULTS During a median of 13.8 follow-up years, 963 all-cause deaths, 336 cancer deaths, and 205 CVD deaths were identified. Among men in the highest quintile of total protein intake, all-cause mortality and cancer mortality decreased by 29% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.55-0.92, p-trend=0.017] and 38% [95% CI: 0.39-0.97, p-trend=0.041] respectively compared with men in the lowest quintile after adjustment for demographics, lifestyle factors and medical conditions. Men in the highest quintile of animal protein intake showed 20% reduced risk of all-cause mortality than men in the lowest quintile (p-trend=0.042). Women in the highest quintile of plant protein intake showed 39% decreased risk of all-cause mortality [95% CI: 0.44-0.85, p-trend=0.019] than those in the lowest quintile. In women, protein intake was not associated with cancer mortality. In both men and women, protein intake was not associated with CVD morality. Further adjustment for other dietary variables attenuated the significant associations. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to findings from Caucasian populations of all ages, among Chinese older adults, higher total protein intake was associated with lower all-cause and cancer mortality in Chinese older men. While higher animal protein intake was associated with reduced all-cause mortality in Chinese older men, higher plant protein intake was protective against all-cause mortality in Chinese women. The attenuated associations between protein intake and mortality risk after adjustment for other dietary variables also highlight the role of whole diet approach in mortality risk reduction among older adults.

Abstract
Background and Purpose—
In the ESCAPE trial (Endovascular Treatment for Small Core and Anterior Circulation Proximal Occlusion with Emphasis on Minimizing CT to Recanalization Times), patients with large vessel occlusions and small infarct cores identified with computed tomography (CT)/CT angiography were randomized to endovascular therapy or standard of care. CT perfusion (CTP) was obtained in some cases but was not used to select patients. We tested the hypothesis that patients with penumbral CTP patterns have higher rates of good clinical outcome.
Methods—
All CTP data acquired in ESCAPE patients were analyzed centrally using a semiautomated perfusion threshold-based approach. A penumbral pattern was defined as an infarct core <70 mL, penumbral volume >15 mL, and a total hypoperfused volume:core volume ratio of >1.8. The primary outcome was good functional outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale score, 0–2).
Results—
CTP was acquired in 138 of 316 ESCAPE patients. Penumbral patterns were present in 116 of 128 (90.6%) of patients with interpretable CTP data. The rate of good functional outcome in penumbral pattern patients (53 of 114; 46%) was higher than that in nonpenumbral patients (2 of 12; 17%;
P
=0.041). In penumbral patients, endovascular therapy increased the likelihood of a good clinical outcome (34 of 58; 57%) compared with those in the control group (19 of 58; 33%; odds ratio, 2.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.25–5.76;
P
=0.011). Only 3 of 12 nonpenumbral patients were randomized to the endovascular group, preventing an analysis of treatment effect.
Conclusions—
The majority of patients with CTP imaging in the ESCAPE trial had penumbral patterns, which were associated with better outcomes overall. Patients with penumbra treated with endovascular therapy had the greatest odds of good functional outcome. Nonpenumbral patients were much less likely to achieve good outcomes.

Abstract
Background
Hyperglycemia leading to increased oxidative stress is implicated in the increased risk for the development of macrovascular and microvascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Methods and Results
A random subcohort of 349 participants was selected from the
DCCT
/
EDIC
(Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications) cohort. This included 320 controls and 29 cardiovascular disease cases that were augmented with 98 additional known cases to yield a case cohort of 447 participants (320 controls, 127 cases). Biosamples from
DCCT
baseline, year 1, and closeout of
DCCT
, and 1 to 2 years post‐
DCCT
(
EDIC
years 1 and 2) were measured for markers of oxidative stress, including plasma myeloperoxidase, paraoxonase activity, urinary F
2α
isoprostanes, and its metabolite, 2,3 dinor‐8
iso
prostaglandin F
2α
. Following adjustment for glycated hemoblobin and weighting the observations inversely proportional to the sampling selection probabilities, higher paraoxonase activity, reflective of antioxidant activity, and 2,3 dinor‐8
iso
prostaglandin F
2α
, an oxidative marker, were significantly associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease (−4.5% risk for 10% higher paraoxonase,
P
<0.003; −5.3% risk for 10% higher 2,3 dinor‐8
iso
prostaglandin F
2α
,
P
=0.0092). In contrast, the oxidative markers myeloperoxidase and F
2α
isoprostanes were not significantly associated with cardiovascular disease after adjustment for glycated hemoblobin. There were no significant differences between
DCCT
intensive and conventional treatment groups in the change in all biomarkers across time segments.
Conclusions
Heightened antioxidant activity (rather than diminished oxidative stress markers) is associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk in type 1 diabetes mellitus, but these biomarkers did not change over time with intensification of glycemic control.

Abstract
This paper reports on a study of older people with visual impairments learning to use a mainstream smartphone with touchscreen. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the EziSmart solution could facilitate the use of a standard off-the-shelf smartphone, and thus stimulate more social contact and digital participation for this group. The EziSmart solution consists of Ezi-Pad and Ezi-Smart Apps. The Ezi-Pad is a flip-casing with a receptacle for the smartphone. When the casing is flipped open it reveals an integrated keyboard with large ergonomic physical keys. The smartphone and the Ezi-Pad keyboard communicate via Bluetooth. The Ezi-Smart Apps is a set of Android applications including a startpage (launcher), an app organizer and several other features. Six visually impaired adults, aged 63 to 80 years received a five day course in using a smartphone together with the EziSmart solution. The participants were observed during the course. They were then followed up during a two month period. The participants and their relatives were interviewed about their smartphone use, experiences and expectations before the training started, and after the follow up period ended. We discuss challenges that older people with visual impairment face when trying to learn and use a smartphone. We then report on the usability and accessibility of the Ezi-Pad solution, describe the course and the experiences of the participants, and reflects upon how both the EziSmart solution and smartphone training could be improved with regard to this user group.

Abstract
Patients leaving an Accident & Emergency Department against medical advice are often considered a high-risk group. A prospective study was carried out in an Accident & Emergency Department (ED) to determine the characteristics of this distinct group of patients, their reasons for leaving against medical advice (AMA), and their subsequent outcome. Telephone or personal interview of patients by a clerk was attempted within 48 hours of the visit for all patients who left Against Medical Advice (AMA) based on a pre-set questionnaire. A follow-up call was used to ascertain health outcomes after the discharge. There were 210 AMA cases during the study period giving an incidence of 0.95%. Interview was successful in 186 (88.6%) patients. The mean age of the AMA group was around 36 years but there was no significant difference in sex. The major reasons for AMA included wanting to observe symptoms at home (78 of 186, 42 %), non-medical personal reason (64 of 186, 34%) and symptoms have abated (21 of 186, 11%). Eighteen (9.7%) patients left AMA because they wanted to seek treatment from other providers and among them three had private insurance coverage. Of the 5 (2.7%) patients who were dissatisfied with the management in ED, four disagreed with the diagnosis and treatment offered and the remaining one was unhappy with the attitude of the attending physician. About 12% (22) of patients returned within 48 hours for further treatment and 8 (36%) were admitted. The remaining 22% (40 of 186) sought further medical treatment from other sources. No formal patient complaint was received during the study period from this group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-vimentin (a cytoskeletal protein) autoantibodies in renal transplant recipients have been correlated with interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IFTA). In this study, we examine the association between pretransplantation anti-vimentin antibodies and the subsequent development of IFTA. METHODS Sera obtained before renal transplantation from 97 transplant recipients were analyzed for the presence of anti-vimentin antibodies via Luminex assays to determine the concentration of anti-vimentin antibodies. Results were correlated with findings of IFTA on biopsy as well as graft function and patient and graft survival. RESULTS In our patient population, 56 of 97 patients were diagnosed by biopsy with IFTA 2.9 (±2.1) years after renal transplantation. Patients with IFTA on biopsy had higher mean concentration of anti-vimentin antibodies when compared to patients without IFTA (32.2 μg/mL [3.97-269.12 μg/mL] vs 14.57 μg/mL [4.71-87.81 μg/mL]). The risk of developing IFTA with a concentration of anti-vimentin antibody >15 μg/mL before transplantation was 1.96 (95% CI = 1.38-2.79, P = .011). Patients with elevated anti-vimentin antibody concentrations (>15 μg/mL) at the time of transplantation also had a higher risk of developing IFTA (81.4% vs 41.2%; P < .05). In addition, graft function was worse at 1, 3, and 5 years posttransplantation in patients with elevated concentrations of pretransplantation anti-vimentin antibody. Although there were more graft losses in the IFTA groups (49.12% vs 25.64%, P = .021) and the IFTA patients loss their grafts earlier (4.3 years vs 3.6 years), there was no statistical difference in graft loss rates. CONCLUSIONS Pretransplantation anti-vimentin antibody concentrations >15 μg/mL may be a risk factor for IFTA.

Abstract
The aim of the user study was to evaluate how the developed assistive physical keyboard, the Ezi-PAD, and integrated senior friendly applications, can encourage non-smartphone seniors to start using the smartphone and enable senior smartphone users to continue using a smartphone in spite of increasing motoric or visual impairment. A number of seniors with different experience and impairment, aged 64 to 86, were equipped with a smartphone and an Ezi-PAD assembly. After basic training, their use of the smartphone was monitored for up to 2 months. Five out of nine participants used the system for 2 months, and found the Ezi-PAD easy to use. The senior friendly applications gave extra utilitarian value to the phone.

Abstract
A new venous bag has been developed, prototyped, and tested. The new bag has its inlet, outlet purge, and infusion tubes extending upward from the top of the bag, and are threaded through, bonded to, and sealed within a flat rigid top plate. This design allows the bag to be hung from its top plate by its tubes. It also allows the bag to be: 1) dropped into or removed from its holder, as is done with existing hard-shell reservoirs so that its weight pulls it into the holder without the need for eyelets and hooks and 2) placed closer to the floor so that gravity drainage is facilitated. The V-Bag® (VB) is easily sealed within an accompanying rigid housing. Once sealed, vacuum applied to the housing is transmitted across the flexible walls of the bag to the venous blood. Thus, vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD) is obtained as it is with a hard-shell reservoir, but without any contact of air with the blood. Bench tests, using a circuit that simulated the venous side of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit, showed that applying suction to the housing increased venous flow, and the fractional increase in flow was not a function of the venous cannula, but of the level of vacuum applied. In the gravity drainage mode, the bubble counts at the outlet of the V-Bag compared to two other bags were lower at any pumping condition. When used in the VAVD mode, bubble counts were two orders of magnitude lower than when using kinetically assisted venous drainage (KAVD) with a centrifugal pump. Results obtained with the VB suggest its clinical usefulness.
