Abstract
We propose a new speckle-based plethysmography technique, termed rolling shutter speckle plethysmography (RSSPG), which can quantitatively measure the velocity and volume fluctuations of blood flow during the cardiac cycle. Our technique is based on the rolling shutter speckle imaging, where the short row-by-row time differences in the rolling shutter image sensors are used to measure the temporal decorrelation behavior of vertically elongated speckles from a single image capture. Temporal analysis of the speckle field provides rich information regarding the dynamics of the scattering media, such as both the dynamic scattering fraction and the speckle decorrelation time. Using a sequence of images, RSSPG can monitor fluctuations in the blood flow dynamics while separating velocity and volume changes in blood vessels and obtaining high-quality plethysmography waveforms compared to regular photoplethysmography. We demonstrate the quantitative RSSPG based on accurate fitting of the speckle dynamics model, as well as the qualitative RSSPG based on simple row-by-row correlation (RIC) calculation for fast and robust analysis. Based on exploratory in vivo experiment, we show that RSSPG can reliably measure pulsatile waveforms and heart rate variations in various conditions, potentially providing physiologically relevant information for cardiovascular monitoring.

Abstract
Rolling shutter speckle imaging (RSSI) is a single-shot imaging technique that directly measures the temporal dynamics of the scattering media using a low-cost rolling shutter image sensor and vertically elongated speckles. In this paper, we derive and validate a complete spatiotemporal intensity correlation (STIC) model for RSSI, which describes the row-by-row correlation of the dynamic speckles measured with a rolling shutter in the presence of static scattering. Our new model accounts for the finite exposure time of the detector, which can be longer than the sampling interval in RSSI. We derive a comprehensive model that works for all correlation times of rolling shutter measurements. As a result, we can correctly utilize all data points in RSSI, which improves the measurement accuracy and ranges of speckle decorrelation time and dynamic scattering fraction, as demonstrated by phantom experiments. With simulations and experiments, we provide an understanding of the design parameters of RSSI and the measurement range of the speckle dynamics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
Triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with a poor prognosis; however, treatments for TNBC are limited, with poor outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are small non‑coding RNA molecules that are able to regulate gene expression. The present study aimed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in patients with breast cancer, and to investigate the functional role of the identified miRNA targets and their effects in vitro and in vivo. Transfection with miR‑606 suppressed TNBC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor sphere‑forming ability, as determined using trypan blue, Transwell and sphere formation assays. Moreover, miR‑606 induced the apoptosis of TNBC cells, as determined by flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore, intratumoral injections of miR‑606 mimics suppressed tumor growth in MDA‑MB‑231 xenografts. In addition, MDA‑MB‑231 cells transfected with miR‑606 mimics exhibited decreased lung metastatic nodules in a mouse tail vein injection model. Notably, miR‑606 and STC1 expression had opposing effects on the overall survival of patients with TNBC. The results of the present study suggested a novel tumor suppressor function for miR‑606 in TNBC, thus indicating its potential application in the development of anticancer miRNA therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Management of lateral abdominal wall hernias presents a surgical challenge, and best management is controversial. Flank hernias as a surgical sequela occur more commonly, whereas flank hernias resulting from trauma are a rare occurrence. In this article, we present a review of the literature and a case of flank hernia presenting after trauma and recurring after repair. An anchored suture repair was performed and reinforced by the addition of a polyester underlay mesh.

Abstract
Introduction Caregiver preparedness is defined as the perceived preparation of caregivers to care for the physical and emotional needs of the patient. Purpose This study investigated caregiver preparedness and its influences on caregiver burden, depression, and quality of life (QoL) in caregivers of individuals with disabilities. Methods We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional survey study on caregivers caring for patients with disabilities. Sociodemographic characteristics were collected via questionnaires. The Preparedness for Caregiving Scale (PCS), Burden Interview (BI), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and EuroQol-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) were administered. Results A total of 151 caregivers were enrolled. The mean age of caregivers was 53.7 ± 12.4 years, and 80.8% were female. The majority of participants were the main caregivers of patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury. The mean PCS score was 2.1 ± 0.9, demonstrating significant relationships with BI (r = -0.512, p < 0.001), CES-D (r = -0.622, p < 0.001), and EQ-VAS (r = 0.441, p < 0.001). The CES-D was significantly associated with the PCS after controlling other variables. However, PCS did not show any correlation with the duration of caregiving or amount of time spent per day on caregiving. Discussion The clinical implications of this study are that higher caregiver preparedness is a predictor of less caregiver burden and depression, and better QoL. However, preparedness did not increase as the duration or time spent on caregiving was extended. Therefore, efforts to enhance the caregivers' preparedness are required to reduce caregiver burden and improve health outcomes for both caregivers and patients.

Abstract
Purpose We investigated the consistent efficacy and safety of eflapegrastim, a novel long acting granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), in Koreans and Asians compared with the pooled population of two global phase 3 trials. Materials and Methods Two phase 3 trials (ADVANCE and RECOVER) evaluated the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose eflapegrastim (13.2 mg/0.6 mL [3.6 mg G CSF equivalent]) compared to pegfilgrastim (6 mg based on G CSF) in breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant or adjuvant docetaxel/cyclophosphamide. The primary objective was to demonstrate non-inferiority of eflapegrastim compared to pegfilgrastim in mean duration of severe neutropenia (DSN, grade 4) in cycle 1, in Korean and Asian subpopulations. Results Among a total of 643 patients randomized to eflapegrastim (n=314) or pegfilgrastim (n=329), 54 Asians (29 to eflapegrastim and 25 to pegfilgrastim) including 28 Koreans (14 to both eflapegrastim and pegfilgrastim) were enrolled. The primary endpoint, DSN in cycle 1 in the eflapegrastim arm was non-inferior to the pegfilgrastim arm in Koreans and Asians. The DSN difference between the eflapegrastim and pegfilgrastim arms was consistent across populations: -0.120 days [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.227, -0.016], -0.288(95% CI: -0.714, 0.143) and -0.267(95% CI: -0.697, 0.110) for pooled population, Koreans and Asians, respectively. There were few treatment-related adverse events that caused discontinuation of eflapegrastim (1.9%) or pegfilgrastim (1.5%) in total and no notable trends or differences across patient populations. Conclusion This study may suggest that eflapegrastim showed non-inferior efficacy and similar safety compared to pegfilgrastim in Koreans and Asians, consistently with those of pooled population.

Abstract
We examined the relative effectiveness of a college-level self-management (SM) course and a physical exercise (PE) course on improving self-control. In Study 1, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) and general regulatory behavior questionnaire were administered before and after the courses to students from an SM course (experimental group 1; n = 87), a PE course (experimental group 2; n = 22), and a liberal arts course (control group; n = 28). There was a significant decrease in impulsivity and improvement in daily self-control behaviors in the SM group only. In Study 2, the same tests were administered before, after, and 3 months after the courses to the SM (n = 47) and PE groups (n = 20). Impulsivity and daily self-control behaviors were improved only in the SM group and maintained after 3 months. Thus, self-control can be improved and stabilized by teaching and directing self-control behaviors among college students.

Abstract
Introduction The World Health Organisation has identified air pollution as the single biggest environmental threat to human health. There is growing evidence in the literature that air pollution is associated with negative outcomes in pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to measure pollution levels in the immediate surroundings of the three Dublin maternity hospitals by measuring fine particulate matter <2.5 micrometres (PM2.5). Methods Data pertaining to levels of PM2.5 at the three Dublin maternity hospitals were obtained from Pollutrack's records for the time period 25/6/2021-2/12/2021. Results were compared to the 2021 WHO Air Quality Guidelines. Results Average PM2.5 levels were 9μg/m³ around the National Maternity Hospital, 10μg/m³ around the Coombe Hospital and 13μg/m³ around the Rotunda Hospital. Levels were higher during the day, weekdays and in December. No matter when the PM2.5 levels were measured, results were higher than those recommended by the World Health Organisation's Air Quality Guideline. Discussion Air pollution levels across Ireland's capital city are higher than recommended by the WHO. This is concerning for the public and in particular for the pregnant population. Going forward, further research is required on the relationship between levels of air pollutants and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Dublin.

Abstract
Introduction Transgender people have specific healthcare needs and experience difficulty in accessing health services. Medical students should receive teaching on general and gynaecological healthcare issues in this population. Our aim was to assess medical students' knowledge of healthcare needs of transgender people before and after a newly implemented teaching session on transgender healthcare. Method A mixed-method study was carried out over a three month period in a university obstetric and gynaecology hospital in Dublin. A one-hour teaching session was developed and delivered to final year medical students. Students completed a survey before and after receiving the lecture. Results Seventy-one students completed the pre-lecture survey and forty-three completed the post-lecture survey. Pre-lecture, 64 students (90%) reported some-to-no understanding of healthcare issues of transgender people, and only 13 (18%) reported understanding gynaecological issues faced by transgender people. Post-lecture, 41 (95%) had a better understanding of health issues faced by this population and 40 (93%) had a better understanding of gynaecological health issues faced. Most students (81%) wanted further teaching on the topic. Conclusion A one-hour teaching session was effective at improving student knowledge of care of transgender people. This teaching could be expanded to all Irish medical schools. Going forward, the teaching could be adapted for post-graduate obstetric and gynaecology teaching.

Abstract
Background: Shoulder subluxation occurs in 17−64% of hemiplegic patients after stroke and develops mostly during the first three weeks of hemiplegia. A range of shoulder orthoses has been used in rehabilitation to prevent subluxation. However, there is little evidence of their efficacy. AIM: This study aimed to investigate whether there is a difference in the subluxation distance, pain, and functional level of the hemiplegic upper extremity among patients with two different shoulder orthoses. Design: This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial with intention-to-treat analysis. SETTING: Multicenter, rehabilitation medicine department of two university hospitals in South Korea. Population: Forty-one patients with subacute stroke with shoulder subluxation with greater than 0.5 finger width within 4 weeks of stroke were recruited between January 2016 and October 2021. Methods: The experimental group used an elastic dynamic sling while sitting and standing to support the affected arm for eight weeks. The control group used a Bobath sling while sitting and standing. The primary outcome was to assess the distance of the shoulder subluxation on radiography. The secondary outcomes were upper-extremity function, muscle power, activities of daily living, pain and spasticity. Result: The horizontal distance showed significant improvement in the elastic dynamic sling group, but there were no significant differences in the vertical distance between the elastic dynamic and Bobath sling groups. Both groups showed improvements in upper-extremity movements and independence in daily living after 4 and 8 weeks of using shoulder orthoses, and the differences within the groups were significant (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in upper-extremity movements and independence in daily living between the two groups. Conclusions: The subluxation distance showed better results in the elastic dynamic sling, which has both proximal and distal parts, than in the Bobath sling, which holds only the proximal part. Both shoulder orthoses showed improvements in the modified Barthel index, upper-extremity function, and manual muscle testing.

Abstract
Human-Biology Interaction (HBI) is a field that aims to provide first-hand experience with living matter and the modern life-sciences to the lay public. Advances in optical, bioengineering, and digital technologies as well as interaction design now also enable real and direct experiences at the microscale, such as with living cells and molecules, motivating the sub-field of “micro-HBI.” This is distinct from simulating any biological processes. There is a significant need for HBI as new educational modalities are required to enable all strata of society to become informed about new technologies and biology in general, as we face challenges like global pandemics, environmental loss, and species extinctions. Here we review this field in order to provide a jump-off point for future work and to bring stakeholder from different disciplines together. By now, the field has explored and demonstrated many such interactive systems, the use of different microorganisms, new interaction design principles, and versatile applications, such as museum exhibits, biotic games, educational cloud labs, citizen science platforms, and hands-on do-it-yourself (DIY) Bio maker activities. We close with key open questions for the field to move forward.

Abstract
Background Obesity is a chronic disease that causes various medical health problems, increases morbidity, and reduces the quality of life. Obesity (especially central obesity) in older adults is expected to act with the development of sarcopenia. However, the relationship between obesity, central obesity, and sarcopenia remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the impact of obesity on sarcopenia. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we used data from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study; 1,827 community-dwelling older adults (883 men and 944 women) aged 70–84 years were recruited. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria were used to evaluate sarcopenia. Subjects with a low appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI; men: < 7.0 kg/m2, women: < 5.4 kg/m2) and either low handgrip strength (HGS; men: < 28 kg, women: < 18 kg) or low Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB; ≤ 9) were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 25 kg/m2, while central obesity was defined as WC measurements of ≥ 90 cm in men and ≥ 85 cm in women. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of obesity and central obesity on sarcopenia and the parameters of sacropenia. Results In both sexes, the obese group, defined based on the BMI, had a significantly low prevalence of low ASMI (odds ratio [OR] = 0.14, 95% confidence interval CI = 0.10–0.20 in men, OR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.12–0.25 in women) and sarcopenia (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.16–0.50 in men, OR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.08–0.35 in women) in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. In women, the central obese group had a low prevalence of sarcopenia (OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.27–0.77) in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. Meanwhile, the obese group had a significantly higher prevalence of low SPPB in women (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.18–2.59). Conclusions Obesity may have a protective effect on low ASMI and sarcopenia, as defined by the AWGS criteria. Central obesity was associated with a low prevalence of sarcopenia in women only. However, obesity did not have a positive impact on functional parameters of sarcopenia including muscle strength and physical performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine which prodromal symptoms frequently occur in patients with Bell's palsy and evaluate the association between these symptoms and clinical severity of paresis or the severity of facial nerve injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 86 patients with Bell's palsy between August 2018 and April 2020. Severity levels of Bell's palsy and facial nerve damage were evaluated using the House-Brackmann (H-B) grading scale and electrodiagnostic study, respectively. Subsequently, a self-reported questionnaire on prodromal symptoms was administered. To assess the degree of recovery, the H-B grade was reported at 9 weeks and 6 months after the onset of paralysis. RESULTS The most common prodromal symptoms were postauricular pain, sensory decline in the tongue, headache on the affected side, myalgia, facial sensory decline on the affected side, taste impairment, and dry eye. Taste impairment was significantly correlated with severe facial paralysis reported at 9 weeks after onset (P < .05) and was not related to the severity of paresis assessed at initial examination or 6 months after onset or on electrodiagnostic findings. CONCLUSIONS The prodromal symptoms of Bell's palsy were not associated with the severity of facial nerve injury in an electrodiagnostic study. Taste impairment was related to clinical severity of paralysis at subacute stage, 9 weeks after onset, but it was not associated with long-term prognosis.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains a leading cancer burden among women worldwide. Acquired resistance of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors occurs in almost all hormone receptor (HR)-positive subtype cases, comprising 70% of breast cancers, although CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy are highly effective. CDK4/6 inhibitors are not expected to cooperate with cytotoxic chemotherapy based on the basic cytotoxic chemotherapy mode of action that inhibits rapidly proliferating cells. The palbociclib-resistant preclinical model developed in the current study investigated whether the combination of abemaciclib, CDK4/6 inhibitor with eribulin, an antimitotic chemotherapy could be a strategy to overcome palbociclib-resistant HR-positive breast cancer. The current study demonstrated that sequential abemaciclib treatment following eribulin synergistically suppressed CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant cells by inhibiting the G2/M cell cycle phase more effectively. The current study showed the significant association of the pole-like kinase 1 (PLK1) level and palbociclib resistance. Moreover, the cumulative PLK1 inhibition in the G2/M phase by each eribulin or abemaciclib proved to be a mechanism of the synergistic effect. The synergistic antitumor effect was also supported by in vivo study. The sequential combination of abemaciclib following eribulin merits further clinical trials to overcome resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors in HR-positive breast cancer.

Abstract
Vitamin B12 (B12) is involved as a cofactor in the synthesis of myelin. A lack of B12 impairs peripheral nerve production, which can contribute to sarcopenia. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between B12 insufficiency and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older Korean adults. A total of 2325 (1112 men; 1213 women) adults aged 70-84 years were recruited. The tools used for sarcopenia were based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) guidelines. Individuals with low appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) (<7.0 kg/m2 for men; <5.4 kg/m2 for women) and low hand grip strength (HGS) (<28 kg for men; <18 kg for women) were defined as the sarcopenia group. Among this group, those who showed low physical performance (≤9 points on the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)) were defined as the severe sarcopenia group. B12 concentrations were classified into insufficient (<350 pg/mL) and sufficient (≥350 pg/mL). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and B12 levels. Low ASMI showed a high incidence in the B12-insufficient group. However, HGS, SPPB, and the severity of sarcopenia showed no correlation with B12. Further, insufficient B12 may affect muscle quantity rather than muscle strength or physical performance.

Abstract
In this work, we explore the use of machine learning for constructing the leakage radiation characteristics of the bright-field images of nanoislands from surface plasmon polariton based on the plasmonic random nanosubstrate. The leakage radiation refers to a leaky wave of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes through a dielectric substrate which has drawn interest due to its possibility of direct visualization and analysis of SPP propagation. A fast-learning two-layer neural network has been deployed to learn and predict the relationship between the leakage radiation characteristics and the bright-field images of nanoislands utilizing a limited number of training samples. The proposed learning framework is expected to significantly simplify the process of leaky radiation image construction without the need of sophisticated equipment. Moreover, a wide range of application extensions can be anticipated for the proposed image-to-image prediction.

Abstract
Lensless digital holography (LDH) is gaining considerable attention lately due to a simple experimental setup, wide field-of-view, and three-dimensional (3D) imaging capability. Since the resolution of LDH is limited by the Nyquist frequency of a detector array, the major drawback of LDH is resolution, and a lot of efforts were made to enhance the resolution of LDH. Here we propose and demonstrate a fast noniterative sub-pixel shifting super-resolution technique that can effectively enhance the resolution of LDH by a factor of two. We provide detailed frequency-domain formulae for our noniterative frequency-domain super-resolution method. The validity of our proposed method is experimentally demonstrated both for scattering and phase objects.

Abstract
1.The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of limestone particle size and dietary Ca concentration on performance, real-time gizzard pH, and Ca and P solubility in the gastrointestinal tract of 21d broiler chickens.2. A total of 576, one-day-old Ross 308 male broilers were randomly allocated among 4 treatments, with 8 replicate pens, and 18 birds per pen. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial consisting of two particle sizes of limestone (coarse, CL, 1200 µm; fine, FL, 44 µm) and two Ca concentrations (9.6 or 6.0 g/kg). On d 19 and 20, four birds per treatment were administered Heidelberg pH capsules and readings monitored for 3 h.3. Reducing Ca concentration from 9.6 to 6.0 g/kg had no effect on d 21 weight gain or FCR of birds fed CL; however, feeding FL at 9.6 g/kg Ca increased weight gain by 10% and reduced FCR by 5% compared to FL at 6.0 g/kg Ca (P < 0.001).4. Average gizzard pH readings ranged from pH 0.67 to 3.01 across all treatments. Birds fed CL at 6.0 g/kg Ca had lower average gizzard pH compared to birds fed 9.6 g/kg Ca, while birds fed FL at 6.0 g/kg Ca had higher gizzard pH than birds fed CL at both Ca concentrations, but was comparable to birds fed FL at 9.6 g/kg Ca (P < 0.001).5. For birds fed CL at 6.0 g/kg Ca, soluble Ca in the gizzard was approximately 40% lower (P < 0.05) than all other treatments, and reduced by 44% (P < 0.05) in the small intestine compared with birds fed FL at 6.0 g/kg Ca.6. These findings demonstrated that the effect of Ca concentration on gizzard pH, Ca solubility and broiler performance was dependent on limestone particle size and suggested that solubility per se had little relevance to performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been unclear whether statin therapy directly improves coronary flow reserve (CFR) in hypertensive patients at cardiovascular risk, independent of lifestyle modification and antihypertensive medications. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we randomly assigned 95 hypertensive patients at cardiovascular risk to receive either rosuvastatin 10 mg or placebo for 12 months, in addition to antihypertensive therapy and lifestyle modification for hypercholesterolemia. Using Doppler echocardiography, coronary flow velocity in the distal left anterior descending artery was measured and CFR was calculated as the ratio of hyperemic to basal averaged peak diastolic flow velocity. The primary end point was change in CFR from baseline to 12 months follow-up. RESULTS Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was changed from 157 ± 23 to 84 ± 16 mg/dL in the rosuvastatin group (p < 0.001) and from 152 ± 19 to 144 ± 22 mg/dL in the control group (p = 0.041, but there were no significant differences between the treatment groups in the changes in C-reactive protein, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and blood pressures. CFR was changed from 3.03 ± 0.44 to 3.25 ± 0.49 in the rosuvastatin group (p < 0.001) and from 3.15 ± 0.54 to 3.17 ± 0.56 in the control group (p = 0.65). The primary end point of change in CFR was significantly different between the rosuvastatin group and the control group (0.216 ± 0.279 vs. 0.015 ± 0.217; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Compared with lifestyle modification alone, addition of rosuvastatin significantly improved CFR in hypertensive patients at cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the cross-sectional areas (CSA) of lumbar paraspinal muscles and their fatty degeneration in adults with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) diagnosed with chronic radiculopathy, compare them with those of the same age- and sex-related groups with radiculopathy, and evaluate their correlations and the changes observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This retrospective study included 62 female patients aged 65–85 years, who were diagnosed with lumbar polyradiculopathy. The patients were divided into two groups: 30 patients with spondylolisthesis and 32 patients without spondylolisthesis. We calculated the CSA and fatty degeneration of the erector spinae (ES) and multifidus (MF) on axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images from the inferior end plate of the L4 vertebral body levels. The functional CSA (FCSA): CSA ratio, skeletal muscle index (SMI), and MF CSA: ES CSA ratio were calculated and compared between the two groups using an independent t-test. We performed logistic regression analysis using spondylolisthesis as the dependent variable and SMI, FCSA, rFCSA, fat infiltration rate as independent variables. The result showed more fat infiltration of MF in patients with DLS (56.33 vs. 44.66%; p = 0.001). The mean FCSA (783.33 vs. 666.22 mm2; p = 0.028) of ES muscle was a statistically larger in the patients with DLS. The ES FCSA / total CSA was an independent predictor of lumbar spondylolisthesis (odd ratio =1.092, p = 0.016), while the MF FCSA / total CSA was an independent protective factor (odd ratio =0.898, p = 0.002)

Abstract
RATIONALE Hematoma of the iliopsoas muscle is a rare condition. Prolonged pressure conditions due to hematoma of the femoral nerve can cause severe pain in the affected groin, hip, and thigh, and quadriceps weakness. We report a rare case of a spontaneous iliopsoas muscle hematoma that caused sudden femoral neuropathy. PATIENT CONCERNS A 71-year-old woman presented sudden left hip pain and knee extensor weakness. The pain was aggravated with left hip extension. She had a bilateral total hip replacement surgery due to avascular necrosis. She was diagnosed as mild stenosis of the cerebral artery and took aspirin to prevent cerebral artery atherosclerosis. DIAGNOSIS A hip computed tomography scan demonstrated a suspicious fluid collection at the left iliopsoas bursa. We considered the possibility of lower limb weakness due to neuralgic amyotrophy and performed electromyography and enhanced lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Electromyography finding showed left femoral neuropathy of moderate severity around the inguinal area was diagnosed. On MRI, left iliopsoas bursitis or hematoma, and displacement of the left femoral nerve due to the iliopsoas bursitis/hematoma were observed. INTERVENTION Ultrasonography (US)-guided aspiration of the left iliopsoas hematoma was performed. We started steroid pulse therapy for 8 days. OUTCOMES After US-guided aspiration and steroid pulse therapy, the patient's knee extension motor grade improved from grade 1 to 2, and the pain was slightly reduced. At 3 weeks after the aspiration procedure, her hip flexion motor grade had improved from grade 3+ to 4 at follow-up. LESSONS Imaging studies are fundamental to diagnose of iliopsoas hematoma. Electromyography examination plays an important role in determining the prognosis of patients and lesion site. Despite the negligible change in sitting position, hematoma can develop. Physicians should consider hematoma that cause femoral neuropathy.

Abstract
We investigate label-free measurement of molecular distribution by super-resolved Raman microscopy using surface plasmon (SP) localization. Localized SP was formed with plasmonic nanopost arrays (PNAs) for measurement of the molecular distribution in HeLa cells. Compared with conventional Raman microscopy on gold thin films, PNAs induce a localized near-field, which allows for the enhancement of the peak signal-to-noise ratio by as much as 4.5 dB in the Raman shifts. Super-resolved distributions of aromatic amino acids and lipids (C-C stretching and C-H2 twist mode) as targets in HeLa cells were obtained after image reconstruction. Results show almost 4-fold improvement on average in the lateral precision over conventional diffraction-limited Raman microscopy images. Combined with axial imaging in an evanescent field, the results suggest an improvement in optical resolution due to superlocalized light volume by more than an order of magnitude over that of conventional diffraction-limited Raman microscopy.

Abstract
Purpose We evaluate outcomes of our single center using vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flaps for reconstruction after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Our goal was to analyze factors that may affect perineal wound healing, a problematic complication with APR reconstructions due to location and high frequency of neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Methods This single-center, retrospective study analyzed all VRAM flap perineal reconstruction patients after APR defect over a 10-year period (from July 2008 to June 2018). Outcome measures focused on factors that may affect perineal wound healing complication rates: cancer stage (I/II vs III/IV), neoadjuvant chemoradiation, surgeon's years in practice (<5 years vs >5 years), and pelvic closed suction drain use. Results Twenty-eight patients met inclusion criteria. The overall major perineal wound complication rate was 14.3% (4 patients). Lack of perioperative closed suction pelvic drain use was associated with a significantly higher rate of major perineal wound complications (28.6% vs 0% and p = 0.031). All four major wound complications occurred in patients who did not have a pelvic drain. The major perineal wound complication rate for patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation was 22% vs 0% with no neoadjuvant chemoradiation (p = 0.107). Conclusion While our cohort represents a relatively small single-center study, our 14.3% rate of major perineal wound complications is consistent with previous studies in the literature. Our findings show that perioperative pelvic closed suction drain use is associated with a lower rate of perineal wound complications. While neoadjuvant chemoradiation trended toward a higher incidence of perineal wound complications, it did not reach statistical significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Well-characterized preclinical models are essential for immune-oncology research. We investigated the feasibility of our humanized mouse model for evaluating the long-term efficacy of immunotherapy and biomarkers. METHODS Humanized mice were generated by injecting human fetal cord blood-derived CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells to NOD-scid IL2rγnull (NSG) mice myeloablated with irradiation or busulfan. The humanization success was defined as a 25% or higher ratio of human CD45+ cells to mice peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RESULTS Busulfan was ultimately selected as the appropriate myeloablative method because it provided a higher success rate of humanization (approximately 80%) and longer survival time (45 weeks). We proved the development of functional T cells by demonstrating the anticancer effect of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor in our humanized mice but not in non-humanized NSG mice. After confirming the long-lasting humanization state (45 weeks), we further investigated the response durability of the PD-1 inhibitor and biomarkers in our humanized mice. Early increase in serum tumor necrosis factor α levels, late increase in serum interleukin 6 levels and increase in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T lymphocytes correlated more with a durable response over 60 days than with a non-durable response. CONCLUSIONS Our CD34+ humanized mouse model is the first in vivo platform for testing the long-term efficacy of anticancer immunotherapies and biomarkers, given that none of the preclinical models has ever been evaluated for such a long duration.

Abstract
Articulation disorder is associated with impaired control of respiration and speech organ movement. There are many cases of dysarthria and dysphonia in stroke patients. Dysphonia adversely affects communication and social activities, and it can interfere with everyday life. The purpose of this study is to assess the association between phonation abilities and the vowel quadrilateral in stroke patients.The subjects were stroke patients with pronunciation and phonation disorders. The resonance frequency was measured for the 4 corner vowels to measure the vowel space area (VSA) and formant centralization ratio (FCR). Phonation ability was evaluated by the Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) and maximal phonation time (MPT) through acoustic evaluation for each vowel. Pearsons correlation analysis was performed to confirm the association, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed between variables.The correlation coefficients of VSA and MPT/u/ were 0.420, VSA and MPT/i/ were 0.536, VSA and DSI/u/ were 0.392, VSA and DSI /i/ were 0.364, and FCR and DSI /i/ were -0.448. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that VSA was a factor significantly influencing MPT/u/ (β = 0.420, P = .021, R = 0.147), MPT/i/ (β = 0.536, P = .002, R = 0.262), DSI/u/ (β = 0.564, P = .045, R = 0.256), and DSI/i/ (β = 0.600, P = .03, R = 0.302).The vowel quadrilateral can be a useful tool for evaluating the phonation function of stroke patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertensive patients are at increased risk of diastolic dysfunction. The hypothesis of this study was that addition of amlodipine would be superior to valsartan in improving diastolic dysfunction associated with hypertension. METHODS In this randomized trial, we randomly assigned 104 controlled, hypertensive patients with diastolic dysfunction to receive either amlodipine 2.5 mg or valsartan 40 mg, in addition to antihypertensive therapy. The primary end point was the change in the ratio of early mitral inflow velocity to early mitral annular relaxation velocity (E/E′) from baseline to the 6-month follow-up. Secondary end points included changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), left ventricular (LV) mass index, and left atrial volume index. RESULTS SBP decreased significantly from baseline in both treatment groups (p < 0.001). E/E′ decreased significantly from 13.0 ± 2.2 to 12.0 ± 2.7 in the amlodipine arm and from 14.4 ± 4.3 to 12.7 ± 3.7 in the valsartan arm (p < 0.01 in both groups). The change of E/E′ was not significantly different between treatment groups (p = 0.25). There were also no significant between-group differences regarding the changes in SBP, LV mass index, and left atrial volume index. Two patients (3.8%) in the amlodipine group and 1 (16%) in the valsartan group had serious adverse event. CONCLUSIONS In this randomized trial involving controlled hypertensive patients, addition of amlodipine or valsartan was associated with an improvement of diastolic dysfunction, but the effects on diastolic dysfunction did not differ significantly between the treatment groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A hiccup is myoclonus of a sudden involuntary contraction of the diaphragm. Hiccups have various causes, and brain stem stroke is one of the causes of central hiccups. Certain types of hiccups are caused by diseases that can be fatal. Therefore, it is beneficial for physicians to be familiar with the various cases of unusual hiccups. We report a case of hiccups triggered by urinary bladder filling in a brain stem stroke patient. To the best of our knowledge, previous reports have not described a similar case. PATIENT CONCERNS We describe the case of a 54-year-old patient who had acute bilateral pontine hemorrhage. The patient had intermittent hiccups in the early stages of the stroke onset. The hiccups ceased by the administration of medication or stimulation of the pharyngeal or tracheal wall. Two months after the onset, the Foley catheter was removed to check if the patient could void the bladder voluntarily. Hiccups occurred whenever the bladder was filled with some amount of urine. DIAGNOSIS Pontine hemorrhage, neurogenic bladder, and quadriplegia. INTERVENTIONS When the hiccups occurred, the amount of urine in the bladder was checked using a transabdominal bladder ultrasonography scanner. After clean intermittent catheterization for bladder emptying, the hiccups subsided. OUTCOMES The hiccups occurred 5 or 6 times a day, as often as the bladder was filling. He was unable to void the urine voluntarily for 5 days after the removal of the Foley catheter. Percutaneous suprapubic cystostomy was performed finally to remove the stimulation of bladder filling and the hiccups disappeared. CONCLUSION Bladder filling is suspected to increase the sympathetic tone and cause a hiccup reflex. Bladder filling could be a factor triggering hiccups in pontine hemorrhage.

Abstract
It has recently been reported that identifying the depression severity of a person requires involvement of mental health professionals who use traditional methods like interviews and self-reports, which results in spending time and money. In this work we made solid contributions on short-term depression detection using every-day mobile devices. To improve the accuracy of depression detection, we extracted five factors influencing depression (symptom clusters) from the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), namely, physical activity, mood, social activity, sleep, and food intake and extracted features related to each symptom cluster from mobile devices' sensors. We conducted an experiment, where we recruited 20 participants from four different depression groups based on PHQ-9 (the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the 9-item depression module from the full PHQ), which are normal, mildly depressed, moderately depressed, and severely depressed and built a machine learning model for automatic classification of depression category in a short period of time. To achieve the aim of short-term depression classification, we developed Short-Term Depression Detector (STDD), a framework that consisted of a smartphone and a wearable device that constantly reported the metrics (sensor data and self-reports) to perform depression group classification. The result of this pilot study revealed high correlations between participants` Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) self-reports and passive sensing (sensor data) in physical activity, mood, and sleep levels; STDD demonstrated the feasibility of group classification with an accuracy of 96.00% (standard deviation (SD) = 2.76).

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Recently CDK4/6 inhibitors are being widely used to treat advanced HR-positive breast cancer. Despite promising clinical outcomes, almost all patients eventually acquire resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Hence, understanding the mechanisms of acquired resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors is crucial to develop alternate treatment strategy. Therefore, we screened genes associated with palbociclib resistance through genomics and transcriptomics in breast cancer preclinical models. Methods: We generated palbociclib-resistant cell lines, MCF7-PR and T47D-PR by exposing MCF7 and T47D cells to palbociclib for over 9 months. After confirming the acquired resistance through in vitro assays, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and mRNA microarray to compare genomic and transcriptomic landscape between palbociclib-sensitive and resistant cells. Real-time PCR was performed to confirm differentially expressed genes. Results: Microrray analysis revealed 651 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (fold change ≥2) by comparing MCF7 vs. MCF7-PR cells. WES also revealed 107 mutated genes by comparing T47D vs. T47D-PR cells. Further, GO annotation of both the DEGs and mutated genes found deregulation of immune pathway commonly in MCF7-PR and T47D-PR (FDR<0.25). Representatively, activated type I interferon pathway was notable in MCF7-PR cells with annotation of the DEGs. By real-time PCR, IRF9 and SP100 were commonly increased in the resistant cells (MCF7-PR, T47D-PR) compared to each sensitive counterpart. Besides, STAT1, IFI27, IFIT2, IFIT3, and XAF1 were increased in the MCF7-PR compared to MCF7, STAT2 was also increased in the T47D-PR compared to T47D. Regarding mutations found in resistant cells, MUC4 (in MCF7-PR) and MUC16 (in T47D-PR) mutations were annotated as immune pathway including immune response activating cell surface receptor signaling or O-glycan processing, et al. Besides, RB1 mutation was detected in T47D-PR cells. Conclusions: Deregulated immune pathway was found to be associated with palbociclib resistance in preclinical breast cancer models. Further studies are warranted to evaluate whether immune pathway may be a therapeutic target to overcome CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance.

Abstract
Background: Cancer treatment-related lymphedema (CTRL) affects patients physically, psychologically and emotionally, and remains a significant quality of life issue among patients with cancer. Reliable methods to measure changes in lymphedema are required for early detection, acute intensive treatment, and long-term management. Here, we evaluated the use of bioimpedance analysis (BIA) as a tool to measure lymphedema before and after treatment. Patients and Methods: Patients with CTRL who were admitted to a secondary university hospital between October 2017 and July 2018 for complex decongestive therapy (CDT) were eligible for this prospective cohort study. Circumferential measure (CM) and BIA were used to evaluate lymphedema at admission (initial) and before discharge (follow-up, FU). Volume was calculated from the CM using the truncated cone formula. The inter-limb ratios (ILRs) of the circumference, volume, and impedance were also calculated as the unaffected limb to affected limb. Each parameter before and after treatment and correlations between parameters also were analyzed. Results: A total of 29 patients (12 upper- and 17 lower-extremity CTRL) completed were included in this analysis. Absolute value and the ILRs of circumference, volume or impedance, and extracellular water/total body water (ECW/TBW) were significantly improved at FU (p < 0.01, p < 0.05). The initial and FU absolute values, ILRs, ECW/TBW correlated significantly with each other (p < 0.01, p < 0.05). The cutoff values of ECW/TBW for moderate and severe degree of CTRL were 0.3855 and 0.3955, respectively. The changes of ILRs between initial and FU assessments were significantly different among three groups according to lymphedema severity (p < 0.01, p < 0.05). Conclusions: BIA data correlates significantly with clinical measurement, and therefore can be a practical tool in monitoring outcome measure after lymphedema treatment. In addition, BIA is more sensitive to subtle changes in lymphedema, and therefore can be useful for the long-term maintenance of lymphedema.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether trunk fat mass measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) correlates with balance and physical performance.This study utilized 2-year baseline data pertaining to 3014 participants from the database of the Korean frailty and aging cohort study. The trunk lean mass and fat mass were measured by DEXA. Trunk fat mass index (tFMI) was established using the following standard equation: Trunk fat mass (Kg)/height (m). The clinical balance tests were performed using the timed up and go test (TUG), total balance score in short physical performance battery (SPPB). We performed SPPB and evaluated independence of daily living using activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), sarcopenia screening tool (SARC-F) and both hand grip power. In our study, we tried to check the correlation of tFMI with balance and physical performance and to determine the factors associated with tFMI.The tFMI was positively correlated with mean values of 4 m gait speed, repeat chair stand time in SPPB, TUG, and SARC-F and negatively correlated with hand grip, IADL, total balance test score in SPPB, total SPPB score, and age. The results of the multiple generalized linear model analysis that assessed the factors associated with balance and physical performance indicated that tFMI had a significant correlation with repeat chair stand time in SPPB (seconds) (Beta estimate [B]: 0.252), TUG (seconds) (B: 0.25), 4 m gait speed (seconds) (B: 0.055), and total balance score in SPPB (B: -0.035).Higher tFMI using DEXA was correlated with low physical performance and balance, indicating that trunk fat mass was associated with balance and physical performance in community-dwelling older people.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether the infection control rate of a modified debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) protocol (DAIR with antibiotic-impregnated cement beads) is comparable to that of 2-stage revision for acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We also aimed to determine whether this modified DAIR technique produced better clinical results than those obtained using 2-stage revision in terms of functional outcome, range of motion (ROM), and patient satisfaction at 2 years after surgery.This retrospective comparative study included patients who underwent modified DAIR (7 patients, 9 knees) or 2-stage revision (8 patients, 9 knees) for acute PJI of the knee joint. Infection control rate, functional outcome measured using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score, ROM and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.There was no difference in infection control rates between the modified DAIR and 2-stage revision groups (78% vs 78%, respectively). In contrast, surgical outcome in the modified DAIR group was tended to be better than 2-stage revision group, but it did not reach statistical significance. Median maximal range of flexion was 103° in the modified DAIR group and it was 90° in the 2-stage group (P = .191). In addition, the median WOMAC function score was 24 in the modified DAIR group and it was 30 in the 2-stage group (P = .076). Median patient satisfaction measured using visual analogue scale was 8 in the modified DAIR group and 5 in the 2-stage group (P = .069).The infection control rates of the modified DAIR protocol and 2-stage revision protocol were similar for the treatment of acute PJI of the knee joint. However, the modified DAIR protocol could not provide substantially increased functional outcomes and patient satisfaction compared to 2-stage revision. Therefore, the modified DAIR technique should be considered to be of limited use in patients with high surgical morbidity.

Abstract
Background We sought to determine whether there was a difference in the posterior condylar offset (PCO), posterior condylar offset ratio (PCOR) and clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with anterior referencing (AR) or posterior referencing (PR) systems. We also assessed whether the PCO and PCOR changes, as well as patient factors were related to range of motion (ROM) in each referencing system. Methods This retrospective study included 130 consecutive patients (184 knees) with osteoarthritis who underwent primary posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-substituting fixed-bearing TKA. The difference between preoperative and postoperative PCO and PCOR values were calculated. Clinical outcomes including ROM and Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) scores were evaluated. Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the factors related to postoperative ROM in each referencing system. Results The postoperative PCO was greater in the AR group (28.4 mm) than in the PR group (27.4 mm), whereas the PCO was more consistently preserved in the PR group. The mean postoperative ROM after TKA was greater in the AR group (129°) than in the PR group (122°), whereas improvement in WOMAC score did not differ between the two groups. Preoperative ROM was the only factor related to postoperative ROM in both groups. Conclusions There was no difference in postoperative PCO in AR and PR group and the PCO was not associated with postoperative ROM. PCO was more consistently preserved after surgery in the PR group. The postoperative PCO and PCOR changes did not affect the postoperative ROM. Furthermore, similar clinical outcomes were achieved in the AR and PR groups. Trial registration Retrospectively registered (Trial registration number: 06-2010-110).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysphagia and dysarthria tend to coexist in stroke patients. Dysphagia can reduce patients' quality of life, cause aspiration pneumonia and increased mortality. OBJECTIVE To evaluate correlations among swallowing function parameters and acoustic vowel space values in patients with stroke. METHODS Data from stroke patients with dysarthria and dysphagia were collected. The formant parameter representing the resonance frequency of the vocal tract as a two-dimensional coordinate point was measured for the /a/, /ae/, /i/, and /u/vowels, and the quadrilateral vowel space area (VSA) and formant centralization ratio (FCR) were measured. Swallowing function was evaluated by a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) using the videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS) and penetration aspiration scale (PAS). Pearson's correlation and linear regression analyses were used to assess the correlation of VSA and FCR to VDS and PAS scores. RESULTS Thirty-one stroke patients with dysphagia and dysarthria were analyzed. VSA showed a negative correlation to VDS and PAS scores, while FCR showed a positive correlation to VDS score, but not to PAS score. VSA and FCR were significant factors for assessing dysphagia severity. CONCLUSIONS VSA and FCR values were correlated with swallowing function and may be helpful in predicting dysphagia severity associated with stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a nomogram and validate its use for the intraoperative evaluation of nodal metastasis using shear-wave elastography (SWE) elasticity values and nodal size METHODS: We constructed a nomogram to predict metastasis using ex vivo SWE values and ultrasound features of 228 axillary LNs from fifty-five patients. We validated its use in an independent cohort comprising 80 patients. In the validation cohort, a total of 217 sentinel LNs were included. RESULTS We developed the nomogram using the nodal size and elasticity values of the development cohort to predict LN metastasis; the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.856 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.783-0.929). In the validation cohort, 15 (7%) LNs were metastatic, and 202 (93%) were non-metastatic. The mean stiffness (23.54 and 10.41 kPa, p = 0.005) and elasticity ratio (3.24 and 1.49, p = 0.028) were significantly higher in the metastatic LNs than those in the non-metastatic LNs. However, the mean size of the metastatic LNs was not significantly larger than that of the non-metastatic LNs (8.70 mm vs 7.20 mm, respectively; p = 0.123). The AUC was 0.791 (95% CI, 0.668-0.915) in the validation cohort, and the calibration plots of the nomogram showed good agreement. CONCLUSIONS We developed a well-validated nomogram to predict LN metastasis. This nomogram, mainly based on ex vivo SWE values, can help evaluate nodal metastasis during surgery. KEY POINTS • A nomogram was developed based on axillary LN size and ex vivo SWE values such as mean stiffness and elasticity ratio to easily predict axillary LN metastasis during breast cancer surgery. • The constructed nomogram presented high predictive performance of sentinel LN metastasis with an independent cohort. • This nomogram can reduce unnecessary intraoperative frozen section which increases the surgical time and costs in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
The asymmetry in lower extremity strength is known to be related to the functional mobility in older adults living in the community. However, little is known about the association between lower extremity lean mass asymmetry and functional mobility in this patient group. Hence, this study aimed to determine whether asymmetry in lower extremity muscle mass has a significant relationship with functional mobility in older adults living in the community.This cross-sectional study analyzed the pre-existing data from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study. A total of 435 older people (aged 70-84 years) were divided into the following groups according to their Limb Asymmetry Index (LAsI): low, intermediate, and high asymmetric groups. LAsI is calculated using lower extremity lean mass, and comparisons between groups were conducted. The participants were also further divided into better and worse mobility groups based on their physical performance test results (Timed Up and Go and Short Physical Performance Battery), and comparisons between groups were conducted. Comparisons between fallers and non-fallers were also conducted. In addition, this study investigated the factors that had a significant effect on gait speed and fall experience within the past year among older adults living in the community.The LAsI was significantly associated with gait speed in older adults living in the community. Older adults in the highest tertile of the LAsI had a slower gait speed than those in the lowest tertile of the LAsI. However, no significant difference was observed in the LAsI between the better mobility group and worse mobility group. Moreover, the LAsI was not a significant predictor of falls.Asymmetry in lower extremity lean mass was significantly associated with gait speed in older adults living in the community.

Abstract
Deregulation of the cyclin D-CDK4/6-INK4-RB pathway leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation, is frequently observed in breast cancer. Currently, three selective CDK4/6 inhibitors have been FDA approved: palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib. Despite promising clinical outcomes, intrinsic or acquired resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors has limited the success of these treatments; therefore, the development of various strategies to overcome this resistance is of great importance. We highlight the various mechanisms that are directly or indirectly responsible for resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors, categorizing them into two broad groups; cell cycle-specific mechanisms and cell cycle-nonspecific mechanisms. Elucidation of the diverse mechanisms through which resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors occurs, may aid in the design of novel therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes. This review summarizes the currently available knowledge regarding mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors, and possible therapeutic strategies that may overcome this resistance as well.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate correlations between values of articulation tests and language tests for children with articulation disorder in Korea. Methods Data of outpatients with chief complaint of an articulation problem were retrospectively collected. Patients who underwent Urimal Test of Articulation and Phonation (U-TAP) with Assessment of Phonology and Articulation for Children (APAC), Preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale (PRES), or Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test (REVT) simultaneously were identified. Patients whose word-level percentages of correct consonants in U-TAP (UTAP_wC) were more than 2 standard deviations below the mean as diagnostic criteria for articulation disorder were selected. Those whose receptive language age (P_RLA), expressive language age (P_ELA), or combined language age (P_CLA) in PRES was delayed more than 24 months compared to their chronological age in months as diagnostic criteria for language disorder were excluded. Results Thirty-three children aged 3–6 years were enrolled retrospectively. PRES and U-TAP showed significant correlations for most of value relationships. PRES and APAC showed significant correlations for all value relationships except for receptive language age. All values of REVT were significantly correlated with all values from U-TAP, but not with any value from APAC. Articulation tests U-TAP and APAC showed significant correlations between percentages of correct consonants. Language tests PRES and REVT showed significant correlations for all value relationships. Conclusion This study suggests that articulation abilities and language abilities might be correlated in children with articulation disorder.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess whether the asymmetry of cervical multifidus muscles occurred in radiculopathy patients, and if it did, whether it was related to the chronicity of unilateral cervical radiculopathy by assessing the cross-sectional area (CSA) of multifidus muscles using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).This study used a retrospective design and was conducted from January 2013 to August 2016. Seventy-seven patients (age 18-65) who had unilateral neck pain, symptom duration of 3 months to 1 year, and who were diagnosed with unilateral 6th cervical radiculopathy by electrodiagnostic testing, were included in study. The CSA of cervical multifidus muscles was measured at the midpoint between the lower margin of the upper vertebra and upper margin of the lower vertebra on axial MRI. Relative CSA (rCSA), which is the ratio of the CSA of muscles to that of the lower margin of C5 vertebra was also obtained.At the C4-5 and C6-7 levels, CSA and rCSA of cervical multifidus muscles showed no statistically difference between the affected and unaffected sides. At the C5-6 level, multifidus muscles were significantly smaller in the affected side (at the C5-6 level, P value of CSA.007 and P value of rCSA.102).The atrophy of multifidus muscles ipsilateral to cervical radiculopathy was observed in patients who had chronic unilateral cervical radiculopathy.

Abstract
RATIONALE Peroneal nerve injury is one of the major complications that may occur after closing wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO). In contrast, the reduced risk of the peroneal nerve injury has been considered as one of the advantages of opening wedge HTO (OWHTO). PATIENT CONCERNS A 61-year-old male who underwent OWHTO showed a dropped big toe immediately after surgery. DIAGNOSIS Injury of deep peroneal nerve was confirmed by electrodiagnostic study. It was probably caused by a posterolaterally protruded screw. INTERVENTIONS The protruded screw was replaced with a shorter one 3 weeks after OWHTO. OUTCOMES The motor weakness and sensory reduction were completely recovered at 9 months after surgery. LESSONS OWHTO has been known to be safe from peroneal nerve injury. However, considering the anatomical course of deep peroneal nerve, great care should be taken to avoid damage to the deep peroneal nerve while drilling holes and inserting distal screws toward the posterolateral aspect of the proximal tibia.

Abstract
There is little information about the management and clinical outcomes of the periprosthetic fracture after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a stem extension. The purposes of this study were to demonstrate management of the periprosthetic fractures after TKA with a stem extension, to report treatment outcomes, and to determine whether dual-plate fixation is superior to single-plate fixation regarding the radiographic bone union time and incidence of metal failure.This retrospective study included 15 knees with periprosthetic fractures after TKA using a stem extension. We demonstrated the fracture characteristics and management according to the fracture location and implant stability. The radiographic union time was determined. Complications, range of motion, and functional outcomes, including Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and Knee Society Score were assessed. Periprosthetic fractures after TKA with stem extension were 1 metaphyseal fracture without implant loosening, 7 diaphyseal fractures adjacent to the stem without implant loosening, 3 diaphyseal fractures away from the stem without implant loosening, and 4 fractures with implant loosening.Treatment included immobilization using a long leg cast, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and re-revision TKA. There was no difference in functional outcomes and range of motion pre- and posttreatment. The complications included 2 cases of subsequent implant loosening. Patients in the dual-plating required a shorter bony union time than those in the single-plating (2.4 ± 1.1 vs 7.4 ± 2.2 months; P = .003).Periprosthetic fractures after TKA with stem extension could be managed individually according to the fracture location and implant stability. Complications were not uncommon even if patients were able to return to their preinjury functional level posttreatment. To avoid complications after ORIF, the dual plate was superior to the single plate, and subtle implant loosening should not be overlooked.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome is a very rare multisystem disorder, which shows malformations of the central nervous system, ears, eyes, teeth, and skeleton that was first reported in 1991. Only a few cases that sporadically occurred have been reported worldwide. The research investigating the pathogenesis and patterns of CODAS inheritance is still ongoing. There is no satisfactory treatment for this rare genetic disease yet. Due to the lack of curative medical treatment, rehabilitation could play a major role in treatment for genetic disease. PATIENT CONCERNS To our best knowledge, the 2 children described in this study are the only CODAS syndromes siblings reported in the world so far. These Korean siblings show highly distinctive features consisting of developmental delay, cataracts, vulnerability to tooth decay, epiphyseal dysplasia, and anomalous ears. DIAGNOSES CODAS syndrome. INTERVENTIONS Comprehensive long-term rehabilitation treatment during 5 years. OUTCOMES We report on the progress of the comprehensive long-term rehabilitation treatment at 5-year follow-up. Their fine motor and language skills development improved similarly to that of same-aged children. We observed the positive effect of rehabilitation on the quality of life. LESSONS The therapy of genetic disorders is challenging for pediatric neurologists and pediatric physiatrists. We suggest that rehabilitation is the best treatment currently available for this genetic disease that yields satisfactory therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Background and Purpose An interarm blood pressure difference (IABD) is independently related to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Cerebral small-vessel diseases (SVDs) are important risk factors for stroke, cognitive dysfunction, and mortality. We aimed to determine whether IABD is related to cerebral SVDs. Methods This study included 1,205 consecutive noncardioembolic ischemic stroke patients as confirmed by brain MRI and simultaneously measured the bilateral brachial blood pressures. We investigated cerebral SVDs based on high-grade white-matter hyperintensities (HWHs), presence of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), high-grade perivascular spaces (HPVSs), and asymptomatic lacunar infarctions (ALIs) on brain MRI. Results In multivariate logistic regression, an interarm systolic blood pressure difference (IASBD) ≥10 mm Hg was independently related to the existence of HWHs [odds ratio (OR)=1.94, 95% CI=1.32–2.84, p=0.011] and had a tendency to be associated with the presence of HPVSs (OR=1.45, 95% CI=0.49–2.23, p=0.089) and ALIs (OR=1.42, 95% CI=0.96–2.11, p=0.052), but not with the presence of CMBs (OR=1.09, 95% CI=0.73–1.61, p=0.634). In multivariate linear regression adjusted for age, sex, and variables with p<0.1 in the univariate analysis, IASBD ≥10 mm Hg and interarm diastolic blood pressure difference ≥10 mm Hg were significantly correlated with an increased total burden of SVDs (β=0.080 and p=0.006, and β=0.065 and p=0.023, respectively). Conclusions This study found that IABD ≥10 mm Hg was associated with the presence and increased burden of cerebral SVDs in noncardioembolic stroke patients. This suggests that IABD ≥10 mm Hg could be a useful indicator of the presence and burden of cerebral SVDs in stroke patients.

Abstract
Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a rare but possible medical complication found in stroke patients. As many stroke patients present with neurologic symptoms, such as altered mental status, motor weakness, global aphasia, or dysarthria, clinical symptoms and signs of AC are often unexpressed or overlooked. As a result, the diagnosis of AC is often delayed with subsequent secondary complications in these stroke patients. This study aims to evaluate the clinical incidence, manifestations, and predictive factors of AC in stroke patients.A retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2013 and December of 2017 of all stroke patients (n = 2699) who have been admitted to our stroke center of the university hospital. We evaluated patient demographics, presenting symptoms, vital signs, laboratory results, mean initial consecutive fasting time, mean total fasting time, modified Rankin Scale (mRS), as well as radiological findings of abdominal computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography.AC was diagnosed in 28 of the 2699 patients (1.04%). Of these patients with AC, gallbladder stones (calculous cholecystitis) were found in 4 patients (14.3%), and 24 patients (85.7%) were diagnosed with a calculous cholecystitis. Subgroup analysis revealed that of the 28 stroke patients with AC, those who underwent neurosurgical intervention (n = 15) had increased incidence of AC compared with those who did not (2.3% vs 0.6%, respectively, P < .001). Furthermore, the initial consecutive fasting time, total fasting time, and mRS were all predictive factors (P < .05) for developing AC in stroke patients.The incidence of AC was higher in acute stroke patients who required neurosurgical intervention, with longer initial consecutive fasting time, total fasting time, and higher mRS. We recommend early enteral nutrition and to maintain a high degree of clinical suspicion to make an early diagnosis of AC in stroke patients for improved outcome.
