Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate treatment outcomes of children diagnosed with unilateral retinoblastoma. MATERIALS/METHODS Retrospective study of children diagnosed with unilateral retinoblastoma registered at the Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), Mumbai from January 2013 to December 2018 and completed the planned curative treatment protocol. RESULTS For the 98 cases that were analyzed, the median age of presentation was 24 months. The majority of patients had the intraocular disease (n = 72), whereas orbital retinoblastoma was in 26 patients. At the time of presentation, on imaging extra scleral spread was observed in 16 patients whereas 18 patients had optic nerve involvement, 11 patients had both extra scleral invasion and optic nerve involvement. We used the International Classification of Retinoblastoma for grouping. Out of 98 patients, 71 patients were in Group E, 21 were in Group D and 4 were in Group B and 2 were in Group C. For Staging of Retinoblastoma, we used International Retinoblastoma Staging System (IRSS) in our study and 14 patients had Stage 0 disease, 52 patients had Stage I disease, 10 patients had Stage II, 21 patients had Stage III A and 1 patient had Stage III B disease. High-risk features on surgical specimen histopathology were optic nerve cut margin positive in 6 patients, optic nerve involvement in 21 patients, extra scleral spread in 3 patients, Choroidal invasion in 38 and Iris involvement in 10 patients. Primary enucleation was offered in 52 patients whereas 26 patients underwent secondary enucleation. Systemic chemotherapy was received by the patient in the neoadjuvant setting in 17 patients as a form of chemo-reduction and 51 patients received systemic chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting. Intra-arterial chemotherapy was offered to 27 patients as a primary treatment or in conjugation with focal therapy (n = 11). Definitive radiotherapy was offered to only 2 patients and 22 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. At a median follow-up of 62 months, 2patients had local relapse, which was salvaged by focal therapy in one and enucleation in the other. Ten patients who had leptomeningeal relapse had died. The 5-year local control (LC) is 97.6%, event-free survival (EFS) is 88% and overall survival (OS) is 89.5%. Globe was salvaged in only 16 cases. On univariate analysis, we observed a significant association between overall survival and extraocular and intraocular disease (p-value 0.0), Extra scleral spread (p-value 0.0), optic Nerve involvement (imaging), and an optic nerve cut margin positive (p-value 0.045), ICRB Groups (p-value 0.0) and IRSS stage (p- value 0.024). CONCLUSION Retinoblastoma is curable if detected early. Extra ocular disease and high-risk features are associated with inferior outcomes and poor globe salvage rates.

Abstract
Covered stent correction of a superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect is increasingly performed as an alternative to surgical repair. While sinus node dysfunction requiring pacemaker implantation may be required after surgical repair, this has not been previously reported after covered stent implantation. We reviewed the experience in two interventional centers. Balloon inflation in the superior vena cava was used to confirm the anomalous pulmonary vein drainage would be unobstructed after stent implantation. During balloon testing in 62 consecutive patients, we assessed gradients across the pulmonary vein to left atrium while monitoring the rhythm. We observed the outcomes after covered stent correction in 51 patients. In a single patient, significant bradycardia and pauses developed on repeat balloon testing and the procedure was abandoned without stent implantation. In another patient, there was no sign of sinus node dysfunction during balloon testing but several hours after stent implantation, the patient became symptomatic from sinus bradycardia and pauses and had a pacemaker implanted 3 days later. Over a year later there are some signs of improvement in sinus node function. While sinus node dysfunction has not been described previously during balloon testing or after stent implantation, this report demonstrates for the first time that it may occur. Larger registries are therefore required to monitor for this uncommon complication.

Abstract
In this study 269 swabs collected from 254 ovine foot lesions and 15 apparently healthy ovine feet were screened by PCR for the presence of major lameness causing foot pathogens viz. Treponema species, D. nodosus, F. necrophorum and T. pyogenes with the presumption that ovine foot lesion positive for Treponema species alone or in association with other three pathogens were categorized as contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD). While samples positive for D. nodosus alone or its combination with F. necrophorum and T. pyogenes were considered as footrot (FR) and samples in which F. necrophorum or T. pyogenes was found either alone or in combination were considered as interdigital dermatitis (ID). The overall occurrence of Treponema sp. in ovine foot lesions was 48.0%, and ranged from 33 to 58%. In Treponema positive samples D. nodosus, F. necrophorum and T. pyogenes were present in 34 (27.4%), 66 (54.4%) and 84 (68.5%) in contrast to Treponema negative samples in which these were present in 15 (11.1%), 20 (14.12%) and 17 (12.6%) samples, respectively. The data signifies that Treponema sp. are significantly associated with these foot pathogens and their different combinations with Treponema sp. influence the severity of CODD lesion. The identification of Treponema phylotypes was done by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene fragment of ten representative samples. Out of ten sequences, four (Trep-2, Trep-4, Trep-7 and Trep-10) were identical to Treponema sp. phylotype 1 (PT1) that belongs to phylogroup T. refringens-like, one sequence (Trep-1) was genetically close (90% sequence homology) to Treponema brennaborense while five sequences (Trep-3, Trep-5, Trep-6, Trep-8 and Trep-9) matched with uncultured bacterium clones of treponemes forming separate monophyletic group in phylogenetic tree and could represent new digital dermatitis phylogroup presently containing five ovine specific phylotypes. This is the first report on the presence of Treponema phylotypes other than three digital dermatitis (DD) Treponema phylogroups viz. T. phagedenis-like, T. medium/T. vincentii-like, and T. pedis-like that are frequently detected in CODD lesions. Metagenomic analysis of two representative samples revealed the abundance of genus Treponema in CODD lesion while this genus was absent in swab collected from clinically healthy foot suggesting that it might play primary role in producing CODD. These findings may further aid in understanding the etiopathogenesis of CODD and could help to develop appropriate treatment and mitigation strategies to combat the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect is a congenital communication between the left and right atria. Open surgical approach by patch closure has historically been the only treatment option. Recently, a transcatheter approach has been developed. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of surgical and transcatheter approach in treatment of sinus venosus atrial septal defect. METHODS Between March 2010 and December 2020, 58 patients (median age: 45.4, range 14.8-73.8) underwent either surgical or transcatheter correction of superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. RESULTS Twenty-four patients (median age: 35.4, range 14.8-66.8) underwent surgery while 34 patients (median age: 46.8, range 15.5-73.8) had a transcatheter treatment. During the catheterization era, 41 patients was considered suitable for a transcatheter closure. In 5 patients, surgery was the patient's or referring physician's choice. In 2 cases, the procedure was unsuccessful; the remaining 34 were successfully closed (94.4% of cases). Intensive care unit stay (median of 1 day, range 0.5-4, vs. 0, range 0-2, p < 0.0001) and hospital stay (median 7 days, range 2-15 vs. 2 days, range 1-12, p < 0.0001), were significantly longer in the surgery group. Total early complication rate, consisted on procedural and in-hospital complication, were higher in the surgical group (62.5% vs. 23.5%; p = 0.005). However, complications in both groups were clinically mild. At follow-up, a small residual shunt was present in 6 patients (surgery group: 2 pts; catheterization group: 4 pts; p: NS). Imaging studies showed significant improvement of right ventricular size and unobstructed pulmonary venous return in all patients. No late complications occurred at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter correction of sinus venosus atrial septal defect is effective and safe in selected patients and may be considered as a valid alternative to surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Honey can improve the quality of cryopreserved ram semen because of its multinutrient and cryoprotective nature added to standard tris egg yolk extender. OBJECTIVE: Different concentrations of honey were added to the standard tris egg yolk extender to improve
the post-thaw quality of crossbred ram semen. METHOD: Thirty six (36) ejaculates from eight healthy cross bred rams were pooled and divided into four aliquots. Standard tris egg yolk extender without any alteration acted as Control (C) and was supplemented with different concentrations
of honey, viz. T1 (honey 1.5%), T2 (2.5%), and T3 (3.5%). RESULTS: The percent (mean ± S. E. M) sperm motility at pre-freeze was significantly (P<;0.05) higher in Group T2 and at post-thaw in Group T3 in comparison to T1 and C treatment groups. The percent (mean ±
S. E. M) HOST reacted spermatozoa at post-thaw was significantly (P< 0.05) higher in Group C and at pre-freeze the value was significantly (P< 0.05) higher in the same treatment group than Group T1. The mean MDA level (mean ± S. E. M) at post thaw was significantly (P<0.05)
low er in Group T3 than the treatment groups C and Group T1. CONCLUSION: From this study it is concluded that the addition of 3.5% honey to the standard tris egg yolk extender provides better protection to ram semen than the addition of 1.5% honey (i. e., Control).

Abstract
Background : Balloon-expandable pulmonary valves are usually not suitable for dilated native outflow tracts. Methods : Indian Venus P-valve registry was retrospectively analyzed for efficacy, complications, and midterm outcomes. Straight valve was used in prestented conduits in patients with right ventricular pressure above two-thirds systemic pressure and/or right ventricular dysfunction. Flared valve 1–4 mm larger than balloon waist was used in native outflow in symptomatic patients, large ventricular volumes, and ventricular dysfunction. Objectives : A self-expanding porcine pericardial Venus P-valve is available in straight and flared designs.. Results : Twenty-nine patients were included. Straight valve was successful in all seven conduits, reducing gradients significantly, including one patient with left pulmonary artery (LPA) stent. Flared valve was successfully implanted in 20 out of 22 native outflow tracts. Sharp edges of the older design contributed to two failures. Complications included two migrations with one needing surgery, endocarditis in one, insignificant wire-frame fractures in three, and groin vascular complication in one patient. There were no deaths or valve-related reinterventions at a mean follow-up of 47.8 ± 24.5 months (1–85 months). Modifications of technique succeeded in three patients with narrow LPA. There was significant improvement in symptoms, right ventricular volume, and pulmonary regurgitant fraction. Conclusion : Straight and flared Venus P-valves are safe and effective in appropriate outflow tracts. Straight valve is an alternative to balloon-expandable valves in stenosed conduits. Flared valve is suitable for large outflows up to 34 mm, including patients with LPA stenosis. Recent design modifications may correct previous technical failures. Studies should focus on durability and late complications.

Abstract
During the initial phase of the response to COVID-19, concern was raised regarding a potential link with increased risk of stroke. We aimed to explore the incidence of stroke and thrombotic events within our local population with COVID-19 infection who required admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods Retrospective analysis of 57 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection admitted to Barnet General Hospital ICU between 6th March and 26th April 2020. Cases were reviewed to establish whether there had been imaging (CT or MRI) confirmed ischaemic stroke, intra-cerebral haemorrhage (ICH), venous sinus thrombosis (VST) or other thrombotic event, including pulmonary embolism (PE). Data was collected on baseline characteristics and blood tests including D-Dimer levels. Statistical analysis was performed using two-tailed t-test and Fischer’s exact test (FET). Findings: Nineteen patients (33%) were age 65 years or older (mean age 69, range 65 to 74 years) and of these 2 patients (10.5%) had imaging confirmed acute ischaemic stroke. In those under 65 (mean age 54, range 29–64 years) there was one confirmed ICH and one VST. The incidence of PE was 21% in both groups. Survival was significantly lower in the age 65 or older group (26.3% versus 63.2%, p = 0.0119 (FET)). Peak recorded D-Dimer levels also appeared to be significantly higher in the age 65 or older group (p = 0.0003, 95% CI 13068.89 to 39858.68). Conclusions and limitations These findings highlight the importance of awareness of risk of thrombotic events, including acute stroke, in older adults with severe Covid-19 infection. It is possible that the incidence of stroke was underestimated, including due to challenges identifying clinical signs of acute stroke and safely obtaining imaging in this population. Further, ideally prospective, studies are required to more clearly elucidate the degree of association between COVID-19 infection and stroke and VST.

Abstract
After total correction for tetrolgy of fallot (TOF), right ventricle behaves in an unpredictable manner depending on type of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction and surgical expertise of infundibular muscle resection. We are reporting a 23 years old girl who underwent total correction at two years of age. RVOT was reconstructed with native pericardial patch. Gradually she developed breathlessness and occasional chest pain. Echocardiograghy revealed hugely dilated right ventricle (RV) with gross pulmonary regurgitation and RV dysfunction. Cardiac MRI also calculated right ventricular end systolic volume (RVESV) 57 ml/m2 and right ventricular end diatolic volume (RVEDV) 157ml/m2.We decided to implant transcatheter venus p-valve at pulmonary position. The procedure went successful having competent pulmonary valve and improved RV function. Total fluoro time was 36.4 minutes and total procedural time was two hours. This procedure was done first time in Pakistan with optimal results.

Abstract
Lumbar spinal fusion is one of the most common operations in spinal surgery. For its implementation, anterolateral (pre-psoas) approach (oblique lumbar interbody fusion, OLIF) is now increasingly used due to its high efficacy and safety. However, there is still little information on the clinical and radiological results of using this technique. The aim of the study was to analyze the safety and efficacy of OLIF in the treatment of lumbar spine disorders as presented in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a recent interest in nonsurgical correction of superior sinus venosus defects. Patient selection is currently based on advanced imaging and printing technologies. Simple clinical tools to select patients will expand its applicability in developing countries. METHODS Defects caudally extending toward the oval fossa and right upper pulmonary veins draining beyond the cavoatrial junction on transesophageal echocardiography were excluded. Balloon interrogation of cavoatrial junction confirmed complete occlusion of the defect with unobstructed pulmonary venous drainage to left atrium. Single long covered stents or overlapping covered stents were used to exclude sinus venosus defects. Closure of left-to-right interatrial shunt without causing pulmonary vein occlusion was confirmed on follow-up imaging. RESULTS Forty-four patients selected after transesophageal echocardiography underwent balloon interrogation with monitoring of right upper pulmonary vein. Eighteen out of 44 patients were ineligible. Twenty-four eligible patients with closure of left-to-right interatrial shunt without pulmonary vein occlusion underwent covered stent exclusion using single long stents in 15 and overlapping stents in the rest, while 2 patients are awaiting the procedure. Four patients aged 6 to 16 years received stents that were 18 mm or larger. Three patients had stent embolization that required surgical correction in 2 but in the last patient was managed nonsurgically with an overlapping covered stent with good final outcomes. Procedure was successful in 22 patients. At a median follow-up of 20 months (range, 3-54 months), there were no adverse events. Follow-up imaging showed trivial left-to-right shunt in 4 and unobstructed pulmonary veins in all patients. CONCLUSIONS Transesophageal echocardiography and balloon interrogation identified 60% of the patients with sinus venosus defects to be eligible for catheter closure. Overlapping stents are an alternative to custom-made long stents. Transesophageal echocardiography confirms procedural success on follow-up. Advanced imaging and printing technologies are not essential for successful outcomes and thus simple tests increase the feasibility in developing countries.

Abstract
Bovine genital campylobacteriosis caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis (Cfv) is of considerable economic importance to the cattle industry worldwide. Cfv causes syndrome of temporary infertility in female cattle, early embryonic mortality, aberrant oestrus cycles, delayed conception, abortions and poor calving rates. In the present study, a total of 200 samples obtained from vaginal swabs, cervicovaginal mucous (CVM), preputial washes and semen straws were investigated that were obtained from organized cattle farm of MLRI, Manasbal and unorganized sectors. Out of a total of 200 samples, 49 (47·57%) vaginal swabs, 1 (3·33%) preputial wash and 8 (25%) carried out CVM samples were positive for Cfv, whereas none of the semen straws were positive for Cfv. A total of eleven isolates of Cfv were recovered. PFGE (Pulse field gel electrophoresis) analysis revealed four different pulsotypes (I-IV) circulating in the screened farms. A common pulsotype circulating among farms could not be established. Insertion element (ISCfe1), a 233 bp amplicon of Cfv, was sequenced and the sequence was deposited in GenBank (accession no: MK475662).

Abstract
Background:Sir William Osler once wrote: “He, who knows syphilis, knows medicine”.Whilst the Tuskegee Syphilis trials live in infamy, the advent of succesful penicillin treatment and sexual health education resulted in the lowest recorded incidence ever in 20011.Unfortunately, cases of syphilis have nearly tripled in the past decade (from 2,847 in 2009 to 7,541 in 2018 in the UK)1. WHO now estimates the global median prevalence of Syphilis, among men who have sex with men, is 6%2The current cohort of clinicians will therefore have limited clinical experience of Syphilis, which can often mimic rheumatic conditions. We present the clinical experience of a tertiary teaching centre hospital.Objectives:To identify the scope of clinical cases, with a diagnosis of Syphilis, during 2018-2019 at St Georges University Hospital, London, UK.Methods:Clinical cases were identified by health professionals and a retrospective review of medical records was undertaken.Results:There were 4 cases identified during 2018-19.PatientAgeSexPast Medical HistorySymptomatologyRisk FactorsPresumed DiagnosisSerology169MaleHypertensionGCABilateral visual loss, rashMSMPrednisoloneTocilizumabGCA-related visual lossRPR 1:64TPPA 1: 10248246FemaleNilJoint pain and swelling, rashHepatitis B Core Antibody positiveUndifferentiatedInflammatory ArthritisRPR 1: 16340MaleNilJoint pain, alopecia, uveitis and rash, weight lossMSMPrimary SyphilisRPR 1: 16TPPA 1: 10248486FemalePulmonary Sarcoidosis, Squamous cell carcinoma of left maxillary sinusLower motor neuron facial nerve palsyPrednisoloneSarcoidosisRPR 1:4TPPA 1:80GCA: Giant cell arteritis, MSM: Men who have sex with men, RPR: rapid plasma regain, TPPA: Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assayCase 1:The patient was diagnosed with bilateral uveitis secondary to primary syphilis, and immunosuppression may have contributed to this.Case 2:The rash developed after the initial presentation and an extended infection screen was performed.Case 3:The patient had a 6 month duration of symptoms and had had a negative sexual health screen 1 year prior to presentation.Case 4:The patient had no features of extra pulmonary sarcoidosis and an infectious screen was undertaken.All 4 cases were referred to the Infectious Disease Unit for treatment. 3 patients received standard treatment with Penicillin, and 1 patient received an oral course of Doxycycline, due to a penicillin allergy.2 of the 4 cases had complete resolution of symptoms, and 2 of the cases had only partial resolution of symptoms at the time of publication.Conclusion:Syphilis can present with an inflammatory arthritis, PMR and GCA –type symptoms, ocular inflammation, neurological disturbance and rashes that can mimic autoimmune conditions.Our cases highlight the increasing incidence, as well as the risk of reactivation following immunosuppression. Current practice does not advise routine testing for syphilis prior to initiation of immunosuppressive therapy. However the rising incidence should prompt careful evaluation, and detailed sexual history, particularly in high risk groups. The diagnostic test interpretation and treatment requires close collaboration with Infectious Diseases Specialists.References:[1]https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/805903/2018_Table_1_STI_diagnoses_and_rates_in_England_by_gender.ods[2]Report on global sexually transmitted infection surveillance 2018, WHO, ISBN: 978-92-4-156569-1Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Introduction Of women in Canada diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer, 50% have not been screened according to guidelines. Interventions involving self-collected samples for human papillomavirus (hpv) screening could be an avenue to increase uptake. To guide the development of cervical cancer screening interventions, we assessed ■ preferred sample collection options,■ sampling preferences according to previous screening behaviours, and■ preference for self-sampling among women not screened according to guidelines, as a function of their reasons for not being screened. Methods Data were collected in an online survey (Montreal, Quebec; 2016) and included information from female participants between the ages of 21 and 65 years who had not undergone hysterectomy and who had provided answers to survey questions about screening history, screening interval, and screening preferences (n = 526, weighted n = 574,392). Results In weighted analyses, 68% of all women surveyed and 82% of women not recently screened preferred screening by self-sampling. Among women born outside of Canada, the United States, or Europe, preference ranged from 47% to 60%. Nearly all women (95%-100%) who reported fear or embarrassment, dislike of undergoing a Pap test, or lack of time or geography-related availability of screening as one of their reasons for not being screened stated a preference for undergoing screening by self-sampling. Conclusions The results demonstrate a strong preference for self-sampling among never-screened and not-recently-screened women, and provides initial evidence for policymakers and researchers to address how best to integrate self-sampling hpv screening into both organized and opportunistic screening contexts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the initial procedural and short to medium-term experience with the straight design of the Venus P-valve™ (Venus MedTech, Hangzhou, China) in dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracts (RVOT). BACKGROUND The Melody™ valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) has been the only percutaneous valve option for smaller RVOT conduits. The straight Venus P-valve™ may provide an alternative to the Melody™ valve. METHODS Retrospective data collection of patient characteristics, procedural data, clinical and imaging follow-up of the straight Venus P-valve™. RESULTS Nine patients (four female) with a mean age of 23.1 ± 7.5 years and a mean weight of 72.7 ± 29.4 kg underwent straight Venus P-valve™ implantation between 03/2014 and 06/2016. All patients had right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduits which were pre-stented before the valve implantation. All valves were deployed successfully without any significant procedural complications. During the mean follow-up of 24 ± 9.1 months, there were no valve related re-interventions or deterioration in valve performance. There was one case of insignificant, single wire frame fracture and no cases of endocarditis. The cohort demonstrated a reduction in pulmonary regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation, which was sustained throughout the follow-up. Similarly the gradient across the RVOT tract did not significantly increase. CONCLUSIONS Implantation of the straight Venus P-valve™ has provided satisfactory short to mid-term results with high success rates and no complications and may be considered as an alternative option in patients with RVOT dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A percutaneous approach for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is a feasible alternative to surgical PVR in selected patients with severe pulmonary regurgitation after repair of tetralogy of Fallot. However, large right ventricular outflow tract (diameter ≥ 25 mm) remains challenging. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study enrolled consecutive patients with large right ventricular outflow tract who underwent percutaneous PVR (Venus P-valve, Venus MedTech Inc, Hangzhou, China) (n = 35) or surgical PVR (homograft valve; n = 30) between May 2014 and April 2017. Patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, and yearly thereafter. Main study outcomes were pulmonary valve function and right ventricular function at discharge and midterm follow-up. RESULTS PVR was successful in all patients. Percutaneous compared with surgical PVR group had: similarly distributed baseline characteristics; shorter hospitalization, intensive care unit stay, and endotracheal intubation duration; lower cost; lower pulmonary valve gradient before discharge; lower pulmonary valve regurgitant grade (mean difference, -0.63; 95% CI -1.11 to -0.20, P = .022), pulmonary valve gradient (mean difference, -5.7 mm Hg; 95% CI -9.4 to -2.2 mm Hg, P = .005), and right ventricular end-diastolic volume index (mean difference, -9.5 mL/m2; 95% CI -16.9 to -3.1 mL/m2, P = .022); and greater right ventricular ejection fraction (mean difference, 5.4%; 95% CI 2.4%-8.3%, P = .002) at median 36 months follow-up, without deaths in either group. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous PVR using Venus P-valve appeared to be a safe, efficacious and minimally invasive alternative to surgical PVR in selected patients with large right ventricular outflow tract yielding better right ventricular and pulmonary valve function at midterm follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2015, the first nationwide, multicenter Multiple Sclerosis (MS) registry was initiated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) mainly with an objective to describe current epidemiology, disease patterns, and clinical characteristics of MS in Saudi Arabia. This article aimed to report initial findings of the registry and regional prevalence of MS. METHOD In 2015, a national MS registry was launched in KSA to register all MS patient with confirmed diagnosis according to the 2010 McDonald Criteria. The registry aimed to identify and recruit all healthcare facilities treating MS patients in the Kingdom, and collect data such as demographics, clinical characteristics (disease onset, diagnosis, presentation of symptoms at onset, disease course, relapse rate, and disability measures), family history, and treatments. All the included sites have obtained IRB/EC approvals for participating in the registry. Currently, the registry includes 20 hospitals from different regions across the Kingdom. The Projected prevalence was calculated based on the assumption that the number of diagnosed MS cases in participating hospitals (in each region) is similar to the number of cases in remaining nonparticipant hospitals in the same region. RESULTS As of September 2018, the registry has included 20 hospitals from the different regions across the Kingdom and has collected comprehensive data on 2516 patients from those hospitals, with median age 32 (Range: 11-63) and 66.5% being females. The reported prevalence of MS for those hospitals was estimated to be 7.70/100,000 population and 11.80/100,000 Saudi nationals. Based on the assumption made earlier, we projected the prevalence for each region and for the country as a whole. The overall prevalence of MS at the country level was reported to be 40.40/100,000 total population and 61.95/100,000 Saudi nationals. Around 3 out of every 4 patients (77.5%) were 40 years of age or younger. Female to male ratio was 2:1. The prevalence was higher among females, young and educated individuals across all five regions of Saudi Arabia. CONCLUSION The prevalence of MS has significantly increased in Saudi Arabia but is still much lower than that in the western and other neighboring countries like Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE. However, compared to the past rates, Saudi Arabia's projected prevalence of MS through this national study is 40.40/100,000 population, putting the Kingdom above the low risk zone as per Kurtzke classification. The projected prevalence was estimated to be much higher among Saudi nationals (61.95/100,000 Saudi-nationals). The prevalence was higher among female, younger and educated individuals. Further studies are needed to assess the risk factors associated with increased prevalence in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to assess the international procedural and short-term to midterm experience with the new percutaneous Venus P-valve. METHODS AND RESULTS Retrospective data of patient characteristics, clinical and imaging follow-up of Venus P-valve implantation outside China were collected. Thirty-eight patients underwent attempted Venus P-valve implantation between October 2013 and April 2017. Thirty-seven valves were successfully implanted during 38 procedures. There was one unsuccessful attempt and there were two valve migrations, one of which required surgical repositioning. The mean follow-up was 25 months with no short-term or midterm valve failure or deterioration in performance. Frame fractures occurred in 27% of patients. The cohort demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pulmonary regurgitation fraction and indexed right ventricular diastolic volumes at six and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Implantation of the Venus P-valve has provided satisfactory short-term to midterm results with high success and low complication rates in an inherently challenging patient substrate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient selection for critical care admission must balance patient safety with optimal resource allocation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between critical care admission, and postoperative mortality after abdominal surgery. METHODS This prespecified secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational study included consecutive patients enrolled in the DISCOVER study from UK and Republic of Ireland undergoing major gastrointestinal and liver surgery between October and December 2014. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore associations between critical care admission (planned and unplanned) and mortality, and inter-centre variation in critical care admission after emergency laparotomy. RESULTS Of 4529 patients included, 37.8% (n=1713) underwent planned critical care admissions from theatre. Some 3.1% (n=86/2816) admitted to ward-level care subsequently underwent unplanned critical care admission. Overall 30-day mortality was 2.9% (n=133/4519), and the risk-adjusted association between 30-day mortality and critical care admission was higher in unplanned [odds ratio (OR): 8.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.51-19.97) than planned admissions (OR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.43-3.85). Some 26.7% of patients (n=1210/4529) underwent emergency laparotomies. After adjustment, 49.3% (95% CI: 46.8-51.9%, P<0.001) were predicted to have planned critical care admissions, with 7% (n=10/145) of centres outside the 95% CI. CONCLUSIONS After risk adjustment, no 30-day survival benefit was identified for either planned or unplanned postoperative admissions to critical care within this cohort. This likely represents appropriate admission of the highest-risk patients. Planned admissions in selected, intermediate-risk patients may present a strategy to mitigate the risk of unplanned admission. Substantial inter-centre variation exists in planned critical care admissions after emergency laparotomies.

Abstract
Background. Experimental studies suggest that mechanical cell washing to remove pro-inflammatory components that accumulate in the supernatant of stored donor red blood cells (RBCs) might reduce inflammation and organ injury in transfused patients. Methods. Cardiac surgery patients at increased risk of large-volume RBC transfusion were eligible. Participants were randomized to receive either mechanically washed allogenic RBCs or standard care RBCs. The primary outcome was serum interleukin-8 measured at baseline and at four postsurgery time points. A mechanism substudy evaluated the effects of washing on stored RBCs in vitro and on markers of platelet, leucocyte, and endothelial activation in trial subjects. Results. Sixty adult cardiac surgery patients at three UK cardiac centres were enrolled between September 2013 and March 2015. Subjects received a median of 3.5 (interquartile range 2–5.5) RBC units, stored for a mean of 21 (sd 5.2) days, within 48 h of surgery. Mechanical washing reduced concentrations of RBC-derived microvesicles but increased cell-free haemoglobin concentrations in RBC supernatant relative to standard care RBC supernatant. There was no difference between groups with respect to perioperative serum interleukin-8 values [adjusted mean difference 0.239 (95% confidence intervals −0.231, 0.709), P=0.318] or concentrations of plasma RBC microvesicles, platelet and leucocyte activation, plasma cell-free haemoglobin, endothelial activation, or biomarkers of heart, lung, or kidney injury. Conclusions. These results do not support a hypothesis that allogenic red blood cell washing has clinical benefits in cardiac surgery. Clinical trial registration. ISRCTN 27076315.

Abstract
Currently used alum precipitated and oil adjuvant vaccines against HS caused by Pasteurella multocida B:2, have side effects and short-lived immunity, leading to regular catastrophic outbreaks in bovines in Asian subcontinent. The need for the development of an improved vaccine with longer immunity and the ability to differentiate between vaccinated and infected is essential. Pasteurella phage isolated in present study belongs to family Siphoviridae. PMP-GAD-IND phage exhibited lytic activity against vaccine strain (P52) as well as several field strains of P. multocida (B:2), and fowl cholera agent (P. multocida A:1).The phage has a double stranded DNA (dsDNA) with a genome of 46 335 bp. The complete genome sequence of the Pasteurella multocida phage has been deposited in Gen Bank with accession no: KY203335. PMP-GAD-IND being a lytic phage with broad activity range has a potential to be used in therapy against multidrug resistant P. multocida infections. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The present work is a part of research for the development of an improved phage lysate marker vaccine and a companion DIVA assay against haemorhagic septicaemia. This study describes the isolation and genome analysis of PMP-GAD-IND a lytic Pasteurella multocida bacteriophage.

Abstract
AIMS Coronary artery fistulae represent one of the most challenging anatomical defects to define accurately. We aimed to investigate the additional benefit conferred by volume rendering of tomographic images and 3D printing for diagnosis and interventional planning. METHODS AND RESULTS Four cases of coronary fistulae were considered for transcatheter closure. Multidetector computed tomography (three cases) or cardiac magnetic resonance (one case) images were acquired and segmented using Mimics software. Each case was reviewed after incremental consideration of diagnostic resources: two cardiologists reported source and volume-rendered images; device closure was discussed by the interventional cardiology team. All diagnoses and planned management were reviewed after inspection of a 3D model. Using source images alone, both cardiologists correctly described the course and drainage in two out of four cases. Aided by volume rendering, this improved to three out of four cases. Inspection of the 3D printed model prompted the planned interventional approach and device sizing to be altered in two out of four cases. In one out of four cases, the intervention was abandoned after inspection of the 3D printed model. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis and management of patients with coronary artery fistulae rely on detailed image analyses. 3D models add value when determining the feasibility of, and the approach to intervention in these cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES South Asian migrant populations have a high risk of non-communicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study is to provide in-depth insight into key success factors and challenges in developing culturally adapted lifestyle interventions to prevent T2D within South Asian migrant populations. STUDY DESIGN The study has a qualitative research design. METHODS In-depth interviews, using a semi-structured interview guide, were conducted with eight researchers and project leaders from five studies of culturally adapted lifestyle interventions for South Asian migrant populations. Data were analysed using a grounded theory approach. RESULTS Four main themes emerged as key factors for success: 'approaching the community in the right way', 'the intervention as a space for social relations', 'support from public authorities' and 'being reflexive and flexible'. Two themes emerged as challenges: 'struggling with time' and 'overemphasising cultural differences'. CONCLUSIONS Our findings augment existing research by establishing the importance of cooperation at the organisational and institutional levels, of fostering the creation of social networks through interventions and of acknowledging the multiplicity of identities and resources among individuals of the same ethnic origin.

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to report our national experience with transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion in infants weighing <6 kg. BACKGROUND The technique of transcatheter PDA closure has evolved in the past two decades and is increasingly used in smaller patients but data on safety and efficacy are limited. METHODS Patients weighing < 6 kg in whom transcatheter PDA occlusion was attempted in 13 tertiary paediatric cardiology units in the United Kingdom and Ireland were retrospectively analyzed to review the outcome and complications. RESULTS A total of 408 patients underwent attempted transcatheter PDA closure between January 2004 and December 2014. The mean weight at catheterization was 4.9 ± 1.0 kg and mean age was 5.7 ± 3.0 months. Successful device implantation was achieved in 374 (92%) patients without major complication and of these, complete occlusion was achieved in 356 (95%) patients at last available follow-up. Device embolization occurred in 20 cases (5%). The incidence of device related obstruction to the left pulmonary artery or aorta and access related peripheral vascular injury were low. There were no deaths related to the procedure. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter closure of PDA can be accomplished in selected infants weighing <6 kg despite the manufacturer's recommended weight limit of 6 kg for most ductal occluders. The embolization rate is higher than previously reported in larger patients. Retrievability of the occluder and duct morphology needs careful consideration before deciding whether surgical ligation or transcatheter therapy is the better treatment option.
