Abstract
Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an effective treatment for essential tremor (ET). However, its long-term outcomes and prognostic factors remain unclear. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate 38 patients with ET who underwent MRgFUS thalamotomy and were followed up for >2 years. The improvement in tremor was evaluated using the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST). Adverse events were documented, and correlations with factors, such as skull density ratio (SDR), maximum mean temperature (T-max), and lesion size, were examined. Furthermore, the outcomes were compared between two groups, one that met the cutoff values, which was previously reported (preoperative CRST-B ≤ 25, T-max ≥ 52.5°C, anterior-posterior size of lesion ≥ 3.9 mm, superior-inferior [SI] size of lesion > 5.5 mm), and the other that did not. The improvement rate was 59.4% on average at the 2-year follow-up. Adverse events, such as numbness (15.8%), dysarthria (10.5%), and lower extremity weakness (2.6%), were observed even after 2 years, although these were mild. The factors correlated with tremor improvement were the T-max and SI size of the lesion (p < 0.05), whereas the SDR showed no significance. Patients who met the aforementioned cutoff values demonstrated a 69.8% improvement at the 2-year follow-up, whereas others showed a 43.6% improvement (p < 0.05). In conclusion, MRgFUS is effective even after 2 years. The higher the T-max and the larger the lesion size, the better the tremor control. Previously reported cutoff values clearly predict the 2-year prognosis, indicating the usefulness of MRgFUS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Connector hubs are specialized brain regions that connect multiple brain networks and therefore have the potential to affect the functions of multiple systems. This study aims to examine the involvement of connector hub regions in essential tremor. METHODS We examined whole-brain functional connectivity alterations across multiple brain networks in 27 patients with essential tremor and 27 age- and sex-matched healthy controls to identify affected hub regions using a network metric called functional connectivity overlap ratio estimated from resting-state functional MRI. We also evaluated the relationships of affected hubs with cognitive and tremor scores in all patients and with motor function improvement scores in 15 patients who underwent postoperative follow-up evaluations after focused ultrasound thalamotomy. RESULTS We have identified affected connector hubs in the cerebellum and thalamus. Specifically, the dentate nucleus in the cerebellum and the dorsomedial thalamus exhibited more extensive connections with the sensorimotor network in patients. Moreover, the connections of the thalamic pulvinar with the visual network were also significantly widespread in the patient group. The connections of these connector hub regions with cognitive networks were negatively associated (FDR q < 0.05) with cognitive, tremor, and motor function improvement scores. CONCLUSION In patients with essential tremor, connector hub regions within the cerebellum and thalamus exhibited widespread functional connections with sensorimotor and visual networks, leading to alternative pathways outside the classical tremor axis. Their connections with cognitive networks also affect patients' cognitive function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with epilepsy have high risk of experiencing uncommon causes of death. This study aimed to evaluate patients who underwent unusual deaths related to epilepsy and identify factors that may contribute to these deaths and may also include sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). METHODS We analyzed 5291 cases in which a postmortem imaging (PMI) study was performed using plane CT, because of an unexplained death. A rapid troponin T assay was performed using peripheral blood samples. Clinical information including the cause of death suspected by the attending physician, body position, place of death, medical history, and antiseizure medications was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 132 (2.6%) patients had an obvious history of epilepsy, while 5159 individuals had no history of epilepsy (97.4%). Cerebrovascular disease was the cause of death in 1.6% of patients in the group with epilepsy, and this was significantly lower than that in the non-epilepsy group. However, drowning was significantly higher (9.1% vs. 4.4%). Unspecified cause of death was significantly more frequent in the epilepsy group (78.0% vs. 57.8%). Furthermore, the proportion of patients who demonstrated elevation of troponin T levels without prior cardiac disease was significantly higher in the epilepsy group (37.9% vs. 31.1%). At discovery of death, prone position was dominant (30.3%), with deaths occurring most commonly in the bedroom (49.2%). No antiseizure medication had been prescribed in 12% of cases, while 29.5% of patients were taking multiple antiseizure medications. SIGNIFICANCE The prevalence of epilepsy in individuals experiencing unusual death was higher than in the general population. Despite PMI studies, no definitive cause of death was identified in a significant proportion of cases. The high troponin T levels may be explained by long intervals between death and examination or by higher incidence of myocardial damage at the time of death. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY This study investigated unusual deaths in epilepsy patients, analyzing 5291 postmortem imaging cases. The results showed that 132 cases (2.6%) had a clear history of epilepsy. In these cases, only 22% cases were explained after postmortem examination, which is less than in non-epilepsy group (42.2%). Cerebrovascular disease was less common in the epilepsy group, while drowning was more common. Elevated troponin T levels, which suggest possibility of myocardial damage or long intervals between death and examination, were also more frequent in the epilepsy group compared to non-epilepsy group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of anchor bolts to secure electrodes to the skull can be difficult in some clinical situations. Herein, we present the boltless technique to secure electrodes to the scalp using nylon sutures to overcome the problems associated with anchor bolts. We investigated the safety, accuracy errors, and patient-related and operative factors affecting errors in the boltless technique. METHODS This single-institution retrospective series analyzed 103 electrodes placed in 12 patients. The target-point localization error (TPLE), entry-point localization error (EPLE), radial error (RE), and depth error (DE) of the electrodes were calculated. RESULTS The median of the mean operative time per electrode was 9.3 min. The median TPLE, EPLE, RE, and absolute DE value were 4.1 mm, 1.6 mm, 2.7 mm, and 1.9 mm, respectively. Positive correlations were observed between the preoperative scalp thickness, mean operative time per electrode, EPLE, RE, and the absolute value of DE versus TPLE (r = .228, p = .02; r = .678, p = .015; r = .228, p = .02; r = .445, p < .01; r = .630, p < .01, respectively), and electrode approach angle versus EPLE (r = .213, p = .031). Multivariate analysis revealed that the absolute value of DE had the strongest influence on the TPLE, followed by RE and preoperative scalp thickness, respectively (β = .938, .544, .060, respectively, p < .001). No complications related to SEEG insertion and monitoring were encountered. CONCLUSION The boltless technique using our unique planning and technical method is a safe, effective, and low-cost alternative in cases where anchor bolts are contraindicated.

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
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated a clear association between diabetes mellitus and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cerebral accumulation of phosphorylated tau aggregates, a cardinal neuropathological feature of AD, is associated with neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Clinical and experimental studies indicate that diabetes mellitus affects the development of tau pathology; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we used a unique diabetic AD mouse model to investigate the changes in tau phosphorylation patterns occurring in the diabetic brain. DESIGN Tau-transgenic mice were fed a high-fat diet (n = 24) to model diabetes mellitus. These mice developed prominent obesity, severe insulin resistance, and mild hyperglycemia, which led to early-onset neurodegeneration and behavioral impairment associated with the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates. RESULTS Comprehensive phosphoproteomic analysis revealed a unique tau phosphorylation signature in the brains of mice with diabetic AD. Bioinformatic analysis of the phosphoproteomics data revealed putative tau-related kinases and cell signaling pathways involved in the interaction between diabetes mellitus and AD. CONCLUSION These findings offer potential novel targets that can be used to develop tau-based therapies and biomarkers for use in AD.

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
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been shown in many studies and its therapeutic effect is similar to radiofrequency ablation (RFA). However, many of these studies were done in combination with transcatheter chemoembolization (TACE), for recurrent HCC, or on a small scale. To better understand the specific outcomes of SBRT for HCC, we conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of SBRT for previously untreated initial HCC at Japanese Society of Clinical Oncology (JCOG) member hospitals. MATERIALS/METHODS Patientswho underwent SBRT for HCC at JCOG member hospitals between July 2013 and December 2017 and met the following eligibility criteria were included: (1) initial HCC; (2) ≤ 3 nodules, ≤ 5 cm in diameter; (3) a Child-Pugh (CP) score of A or B; and (4) unsuitability for or refusal of standard treatment, such as surgery, transplantation, RFA and TACE. We evaluated the overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) which was defined as the first instance of intra-hepatic recurrence after SBRT, disease-specific survival (DSS) using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Using Grey's test, patients who died of other diseases were analyzed as competing risks to estimate the cumulative incidence of local recurrence (CLR). Adverse events directly related to SBRT also analyzed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0). RESULTS Seventy-three patients with 79 lesions from 14 hospitals were analyzed. The median age was 77 years (range; 50-89 years), and the median tumor size was 23 mm (range; 6-50 mm). The median radiation dose was 40 Gy (range; 35-60 Gy) in five fractions (range; 4-8). The median follow-up period was 45 months (range; 0-103 months). There were three cases where follow-up was not possible due to unexpected events unrelated to SBRT, while the remaining 70 patients were successfully followed for at least six months. The 2 and 3year OS, RFS, DSS, and CLR rates were 84.3% (95% CI: 75.8-92.8%) and 69.9% (95% CI: 58.7-81%), 67.5% (95% CI: 56.0-79.0%) and 57.9% (95% CI: 45.2-70.5%), 95.1% (95% CI:89.7-100%)/87.6% (95% CI:78.8-96.3%), and 11.4% (95% CI: 5.3-20.0%) and 20.0% (95% CI: 11.2-30.5%), respectively. Four cases (5.5%) of adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported: one case of grade 3 laboratory toxicities, one case of grade 3 liver failure, one case of grade 3 portal tumor thrombosis, and one case of grade 4 duodenal ulcer. No grade 5 toxicities were observed. CONCLUSION The results of our study demonstrate that SBRT for HCC is highly effective in achieving local control and is safe to administer. In addition, survival outcomes are favorable. SBRT is a promising treatment modality, especially for small HCCs for that is not suitable for standard treatment.

Abstract
We successfully performed electron scattering off unstable nuclei which were produced online from the photofission of uranium. The target ^{137}Cs ions were trapped with a new target-forming technique that makes a high-density stationary target from a small number of ions by confining them in an electron storage ring. After developments of target generation and transportation systems and the beam stacking method to increase the ion beam intensity up to approximately 2×10^{7} ions per pulse beam, an average luminosity of 0.9×10^{26} cm^{-2} s^{-1} was achieved for ^{137}Cs. The obtained angular distribution of elastically scattered electrons is consistent with a calculation. This success marks the realization of the anticipated femtoscope which clarifies the structures of exotic and short-lived unstable nuclei.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the bleeding risk associated with percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder interventions in patients with acute cholecystitis receiving antithrombotic therapy. In this retrospective study, 194 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder interventions for acute cholecystitis between April 2011 and April 2021 were enrolled. Patients were sorted into four groups: no prior antithrombotic therapy, discontinued antithrombotic drugs, single antithrombotic drug continued perioperatively, and multiple antithrombotic drugs continued perioperatively. The risk of postoperative bleeding after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder interventions was evaluated via multivariate logistic regression analysis. Of the 116 (59.8%) patients receiving antithrombotic therapy, 32 (16.5%) discontinued antithrombotic drugs before their respective procedure, 50 (25.8%) continued a single antithrombotic drug, and 34 (17.5%) continued multiple antithrombotic drugs during the perioperative period. The rates of significant and severe bleeding were 10.3% (20/194) and 3.1% (6/194), respectively. The rate of significant bleeding was significantly higher in patients who continued multiple antithrombotic drugs than in patients who received no prior antithrombotic therapy (P = 0.006). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the continuation of multiple antithrombotic drugs during the perioperative period was a risk factor for significant bleeding after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder interventions. In conclusion, the perioperative continuation of multiple antithrombotic drugs is a risk factor for postoperative bleeding after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder interventions.

Abstract
The new isotope ^{241}U was synthesized and systematic atomic mass measurements of nineteen neutron-rich Pa-Pu isotopes were performed in the multinucleon transfer reactions of the ^{238}U+^{198}Pt system at the KISS facility. The present experimental results demonstrate the crucial role of the multinucleon transfer reactions for accessing unexplored neutron-rich actinide isotopes toward the N=152 shell gap in this region of nuclides.

Abstract
PURPOSE COVID-19 causes physical and psychological impacts on health care workers (HCWs), especially when it occurs during an outbreak. As there are few reports on outcomes of HCWs infected with COVID-19 during a hospital outbreak, we investigated the physical and psychological impacts on HCWs infected with COVID-19 during an outbreak in our hospital. METHODS During the outbreak in our hospital, 231 people were infected with COVID-19 including patients, HCWs and their families. Among them, 83 HCWs were enrolled in this study. Current quality of life (QOL) was assessed with the EuroQol-visual analogue scales (EQ-VAS), and motivation to keep on working was evaluated by a 10-point analogue scale. Physiological recovery rates including return to work (RTW) period were also analyzed. RESULTS One nurse quit work due to anxiety regarding re-infection with COVID-19. The median period to RTW from the diagnosis was 14.0 (12.0-17.0) days. Motivation to keep on working was slightly reduced, and the EQ-VAS was 75.0 (65.0-83.6). There were no significant differences in QOL and motivation between male and female HCWs, nurses and other HCWs, treatment and non-treatment group, and supplemental and non-supplemental oxygen group. The most frequent persistent symptoms at 1,3 and 6 months after infection were anosmia followed by fatigue. CONCLUSION Although QOL and motivation to keep on working were slightly reduced, only one HCW quit work. No severe persistent symptoms were observed, and the RTW period was relatively short.

Abstract
The atomic masses of ^{55}Sc, ^{56,58}Ti, and ^{56-59}V have been determined using the high-precision multireflection time-of-flight technique. The radioisotopes have been produced at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) and delivered to the novel designed gas cell and multireflection system, which has been recently commissioned downstream of the ZeroDegree spectrometer following the BigRIPS separator. For ^{56,58}Ti and ^{56-59}V, the mass uncertainties have been reduced down to the order of 10 keV, shedding new light on the N=34 shell effect in Ti and V isotopes by the first high-precision mass measurements of the critical species ^{58}Ti and ^{59}V. With the new precision achieved, we reveal the nonexistence of the N=34 empirical two-neutron shell gaps for Ti and V, and the enhanced energy gap above the occupied νp_{3/2} orbit is identified as a feature unique to Ca. We perform new Monte Carlo shell model calculations including the νd_{5/2} and νg_{9/2} orbits and compare the results with conventional shell model calculations, which exclude the νg_{9/2} and the νd_{5/2} orbits. The comparison indicates that the shell gap reduction in Ti is related to a partial occupation of the higher orbitals for the outer two valence neutrons at N=34.

Abstract
Central poststroke pain is a chronic, intractable, central neuropathic pain. Spinal cord stimulation is a neuromodulation therapy for chronic neuropathic pain. The conventional stimulation method induces a sense of paresthesia. Fast-acting subperception therapy is one of the latest new stimulation methods without paresthesia. A case of achieving pain relief of central poststroke pain affecting both the arm and leg on one side by double-independent dual-lead spinal cord stimulation using fast-acting subperception therapy stimulation is presented. A 67-year-old woman had central poststroke pain due to a right thalamic hemorrhage. The numerical rating scale scores of the left arm and leg were 6 and 7, respectively. Using dual-lead stimulation at the Th 9-11 levels, a spinal cord stimulation trial was performed. Fast-acting subperception therapy stimulation achieved pain reduction in the left leg from 7 to 3. Therefore, a pulse generator was implanted, and the pain relief continued for 6 months. Then, two additional leads were implanted at the C 3-5 levels, and pain in the arm decreased from 6 to 4. Independent setting and adjustments of the dual-lead stimulation were required because the thresholds of paresthesia perception were significantly different. To achieve pain relief in both the arm and leg, double-independent dual-lead stimulation placed at cervical and thoracic levels is an effective treatment. Fast-acting subperception therapy stimulation may be effective for central poststroke pain, especially in cases where the paresthesia is perceived as uncomfortable or the conventional stimulation itself is ineffective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although many studies have supported the efficacy of transplacental treatment for fetal supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, the long-term neurodevelopmental outcome after antenatal antiarrhythmic treatment is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis and neurodevelopmental outcome at 36 months of corrected age and the incidence of tachyarrhythmia after birth, following protocol-defined antenatal therapy for fetal supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. METHODS This was a 3-year follow-up study of a multicenter trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of protocol-defined transplacental treatment for fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and atrial flutter (AFL). The primary endpoints were mortality and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 36 months of corrected age. NDI was defined as any of the following outcomes: cerebral palsy, bilateral blindness, bilateral deafness or neurodevelopmental delay. Neurodevelopmental delay was evaluated using appropriate developmental quotient scales, mainly the Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development, or examination by pediatric neurologists. The detection rate of tachyarrhythmia at birth and at 18 and 36 months of corrected age was also evaluated as the secondary endpoint. In addition, the association of NDI at 36 months with perinatal and postnatal factors was analyzed. RESULTS Of 50 patients enrolled in the original trial, one withdrew consent and in two there was fetal death, leaving 47 patients available for enrollment in this follow-up study. Of these, 45 cases were available for analysis after two infants were lost to follow-up. The mortality rate was 2.2% (1/45) during a median follow-up of 3.2 (range, 2.1-9.4) years. The infant died at the age of 2.1 years. Another infant had missing neurodevelopmental assessment data. In the remaining 43 infants, at 36 months of corrected age, NDI was detected in 9.3% (4/43) overall and in two of three (66.7%) cases with fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema. Cerebral palsy was noted in two infants with severe subcutaneous edema or ascites at an early gestational age. Neurodevelopmental delay was found in two infants with severe congenital abnormalities (one with tuberous sclerosis and the other with heterotaxy syndrome). Tachyarrhythmia was present in 31.9% (15/47) cases in the neonatal period and decreased to 8.9% (4/45) and 4.5% (2/44) at 18 and 36 months of corrected age, respectively. The median ventricular rate at diagnosis was significantly higher in infants with NDI compared to those without (265 vs 229 bpm; P = 0.003). In infants with NDI, compared to those without, fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema at diagnosis was more common (50.0% vs 2.6%; P = 0.019) and the duration of fetal effusion was longer (median, 10.5 vs 0 days; P = 0.013). Postnatal arrhythmia and physical development abnormalities were not associated with NDI. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter 3-year follow-up study is the first to demonstrate the long-term mortality and morbidity of infants born following protocol-defined transplacental treatment for fetal SVT and AFL. NDI was associated with the presence of fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema at diagnosis and longer duration of fetal effusion. Neurodevelopmental delay was detected only in infants with severe congenital abnormalities. Therefore, in infants that have undergone antenatal treatment for fetal tachyarrhythmia and in which there are no comorbidities, the risk of NDI is low. However, in those with fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema and/or associated severe congenital abnormalities, the risk for long-term neurologic morbidity might be considered somewhat increased. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
A parturient with VACTERL association (vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, trachea-oesophageal fistula, renal abnormalities and limb abnormalities) was listed for an elective caesarean section. She had a short neck with reduced cervical extension and flexion. Magnetic resonance imaging of her whole spine was performed which showed failure of cervical spine segmentation and cervical stenosis. Neuraxial blockade could have resulted in unpredictable spread of local anaesthetic due to the low volume of the spinal canal, and could have caused myelopathic changes within the spinal cord due to cerebrospinal fluid pressure changes. A general anaesthetic using a rapid sequence induction was also predicted to be challenging due to her fixed, unstable neck and severe cervical spine stenosis. After a multidisciplinary discussion Including neurosurgeons, we planned for awake tracheal intubation followed by general anaesthesia. However, before the date of her planned delivery, she required an urgent caesarean section due to severe preeclampsia. This was performed under general anaesthesia following uncomplicated awake tracheal intubation.

Abstract
Holmes tremor is a symptomatic tremor that develops secondary to central nervous system disorders. Stereotactic neuromodulation is considered when the tremors are intractable. Targeting the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) is common; however, the outcome is often unsatisfactory, and the posterior subthalamic area (PSA) is expected as alternative target. In this study, we report the case of a patient with intractable Holmes tremor who underwent dual-lead deep brain stimulation (DBS) to stimulate multiple locations in the PSA and thalamus. The patient was a 77-year-old female who complained of severe tremor in her left upper extremity that developed one year after her right thalamic infarction. Vim-thalamotomy using focused ultrasound therapy (FUS) was initially performed but failed to control tremor. Subsequently, we performed DBS using two leads to stimulate four different structures. Accordingly, one lead was implanted with the aim of targeting the ventral oralis nucleus (Vo)/zona incerta (Zi), and the other with the aim of targeting the Vim/prelemniscal radiation (Raprl). Electrode stimulation revealed that Raprl and Zi had obvious effects. Postoperatively, the patient achieved good tremor control without any side effects, which was maintained for two years. Considering that she demonstrated resting, postural, and intention/action tremor, and Vim-thalamotomy by FUS was insufficient for tremor control, complicated pathogenesis was presumed in her symptoms including both the cerebellothalamic and the pallidothalamic pathways. Using the dual-lead DBS technique, we have more choices to adjust the stimulation at multiple sites, where different functional networks are connected. Intractable tremors, such as Holmes tremor, may have complicated pathology, therefore, modulating multiple pathological networks is necessary. We suggest that the dual-lead DBS (Vo/Raprl and Vim/Zi) presented here is safe, technically feasible, and possibly effective for the control of Holmes tremor.

Abstract
Beat perception and synchronization within 120 to 140 beats/min (BPM) are common in humans and frequently used in music composition. Why beat synchronization is uncommon in some species and the mechanism determining the optimal tempo are unclear. Here, we examined physical movements and neural activities in rats to determine their beat sensitivity. Close inspection of head movements and neural recordings revealed that rats displayed prominent beat synchronization and activities in the auditory cortex within 120 to 140 BPM. Mathematical modeling suggests that short-term adaptation underlies this beat tuning. Our results support the hypothesis that the optimal tempo for beat synchronization is determined by the time constant of neural dynamics conserved across species, rather than the species-specific time constant of physical movements. Thus, latent neural propensity for auditory motor entrainment may provide a basis for human entrainment that is much more widespread than currently thought. Further studies comparing humans and animals will offer insights into the origins of music and dancing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE West syndrome is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by epileptic spasms, neurodevelopmental regression, and a specific EEG pattern called hypsarrhythmia. Our aim was to investigate the brain activities related to hypsarrhythmia at onset and focal epileptiform discharges in the remote period in children with West syndrome using simultaneous electroencephalography and fMRI recordings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen children with West syndrome underwent simultaneous electroencephalography and fMRI at the onset of West syndrome. Statistically significant blood oxygen level-dependent responses related to hypsarrhythmia were analyzed using an event-related design of 4 hemodynamic response functions with peaks at 3, 5, 7, and 9 seconds after the onset of each event. Six of 14 children had focal epileptiform discharges after treatment and underwent simultaneous electroencephalography and fMRI from 12 to 25 months of age. RESULTS At onset, positive blood oxygen level-dependent responses were seen in the brainstem (14/14 patients), thalami (13/14), basal ganglia (13/14), and hippocampi (13/14), in addition to multiple cerebral cortices. Group analysis using hemodynamic response functions with peaks at 3, 5, and 7 seconds showed positive blood oxygen level-dependent responses in the brainstem, thalamus, and hippocampus, while positive blood oxygen level-dependent responses in multiple cerebral cortices were seen using hemodynamic response functions with peaks at 5 and 7 seconds. In the remote period, 3 of 6 children had focal epileptiform discharge-related positive blood oxygen level-dependent responses in the thalamus, hippocampus, and brainstem. CONCLUSIONS Positive blood oxygen level-dependent responses with hypsarrhythmia appeared in the brainstem, thalamus, and hippocampus on earlier hemodynamic response functions than the cerebral cortices, suggesting the propagation of epileptogenic activities from the deep brain structures to the neocortices. Activation of the hippocampus, thalamus, and brainstem was still seen in half of the patients with focal epileptiform discharges after adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy.

Abstract
BackgroundThe administration of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors as well as biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs has dramatically improved even the clinical outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX). The dysregulation of JAK- signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways via overproduction of cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in the pathogenesis of RA (1). Filgotinib, a preferential JAK1 inhibitor, is effective in suppressing disease activity and preventing the progression of joint destruction due to inhibition of the JAK-STAT pathway. IL-6 inhibitors such as tocilizumab also inhibit the JAK-STAT pathways due to inhibition of IL-6 signaling. Thus, it should be desirable to investigate whether the effectiveness of filgotinib monotherapy is non-inferior to those of tocilizumab monotherapy in RA patients with inadequate response to MTX. In addition, it is important to accurately evaluate disease activity at the joint level by using musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) and clinical disease activity indices, including subjective parameters (2).ObjectivesThis study’s principal objective is to evaluate the effects of filgotinib monotherapy is non-inferior to those of tocilizumab monotherapy in RA patients with inadequate response to MTX. In addition, we will evaluate changes in patients’ parameters, including clinical disease activity indices, MSUS scores, serum biomarkers, patient-reported outcome (PRO), and modified total Sharp score (mTSS) after the administration of filgotinib or tocilizumab. Herein, we describe the study protocol for this study.MethodsThis study is an interventional, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group and non-inferiority clinical trial with a 52-week follow-up. In total, 400 RA patients with at least moderate disease activity during treatment with MTX will be included. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to administration of filgotinib 200mg/day monotherapy or subcutaneous tocilizumab 162mg/biweekly monotherapy switched from MTX (Figure 1). We will evaluate disease activity by measuring clinical disease activity indices and by using MSUS. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who achieve an American College of Rheumatology 50 response at week 12. Important secondary endpoints are the changes from the baseline of the MSUS scores, PRO, and mTSS. We will also comprehensively analyze the serum levels of multiple biomarkers such as cytokines and chemokines.Figure 1.ResultsAlthough the study results cannot be shown because the research entry is in progress, they are expected to show the non-inferiority of filgotinib monotherapy to tocilizumab monotherapy in RA patients with inadequate response to MTX.ConclusionThe strength of this study is its prospective evaluation of therapeutic efficacy using not only clinical disease activity indices but also MSUS, which accurately and objectively evaluate disease activity at the joint level among patients drawn from multiple centers with a standardized evaluation by MSUS. In addition, we will evaluate the effectiveness of both drugs by integrating multilateral assessments, i.e., clinical disease activity indices, MSUS findings, and serum biomarkers.References[1]Gadina M, Le MT, Schwartz DM, Silvennoinen O, Nakayamada S, Yamaoka K, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 29 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions (1-7). While these GWASs have clarified genetic architectures of SSc, study subjects were mainly Caucasians limiting application of the findings to Asians.ObjectivesThe study was conducted to identify novel causal variants for SSc specific to Japanese subjects as well as those shared with European population. We also aimed to clarify mechanistic effects of the variants on pathogenesis of SSc.MethodsA total of 114,108 subjects comprising 1,499 cases and 112,609 controls were enrolled in the two-staged study leading to the ever-largest Asian GWAS for SSc. After applying a strict quality control both for genotype and samples, imputation was conducted using the reference panel of the phase 3v5 1,000 genome project data combined with a high-depth whole-genome sequence data of 3,256 Japanese subjects. We conducted logistic regression analyses and also combined the Japanese GWAS results with those of Europeans (6) by an inverse-variance fixed-effect model. Polygenicity and enrichment of functional annotations were evaluated by linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), Haploreg and IMPACT programs. We also constructed polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict SSc development.ResultsWe identified three (FCRLA-FCGR, TNFAIP3, PLD4) and four (EOMES, ESR1, SLC12A5, TPI1P2) novel loci in Japanese GWAS and a trans-population meta-analysis, respectively. One of Japanese novel risk SNPs, rs6697139, located within FCGR gene clusters had a strong effect size (OR 2.05, P=4.9×10-11). We also found the complete LD variant, rs10917688, was positioned in cis-regulatory element and binding motif for an immunomodulatory transcription factor IRF8 in B cells, another genome-wide significant locus in our trans-ethnic meta-analysis and the previous European GWAS. Notably, the association of risk allele of rs10917688 was significant only in the presence of the risk allele of the IRF8. Intriguingly, rs10917688 was annotated as one enhancer-related histone marks, H3K4me1, in B cells, implying that FCGR gene(s) in B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SSc. Furhtermore, significant heritability enrichment of active histone marks and a transcription factor C-Myc were found in B cells both in European and Japanese populations by LDSC and IMPACT, highlighting a possibility of a shared disease mechanism where abnormal B-cell activation may be one of the key drivers for the disease development. Finally, PRS using effects sizes of European GWAS moderately fit in the development of Japanese SSc (AUC 0.593), paving a path to personalized medicine for SSc.ConclusionOur study identified seven novel susceptibility loci in SSc. Downstream analyses highlighted a novel disease mechanism of SSc where an interactive role of FCGR gene(s) and IRF8 may accelerate the disease development and B cells may play a key role on the pathogenesis of SSc.References[1]F.

Abstract
Background and Aim The development of hepatocarcinogenesis after a sustained virological response (SVR) remains an important issue affecting the balance between treatment and occupational life of workers with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Japan. Here, we aimed to evaluate the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) reducing effect and risk factors for developing HCC after SVR in patients treated with direct‐acting antiviral agents (DAAs) among the working population. Methods We studied 2579 working patients with chronic HCV infection who achieved SVR after antiviral treatment. We compared the difference in the cumulative incidence of post‐SVR HCC between the interferon (IFN)‐based n = 1615 and DAA (n = 964) groups. The risk factors for post‐SVR HCC development were determined in the DAA group. Results After propensity score matching (n = 644 in each group), the HCC development rates were not significantly different between the groups (P = 0.186). Multivariate Cox regression and the cutoff values determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve analyses revealed that age ≥61 years, diabetes, lower serum albumin levels <4.0 g/dL at 24 weeks after the end of treatment (EOT), and higher serum α‐fetoprotein levels ≥4.1 ng/mL at 24 weeks after the EOT were associated with the development of HCC. Conclusion The HCC suppressing effect after SVR through DAA treatment is equivalent to that of IFN treatment in patients in the working population. Intensive follow‐up is required after SVR with DAA treatment in Japanese workers with these risk factors to ensure the promotion of health and employment support.

Abstract
Funding Acknowledgements
Type of funding sources: None.
Background
Previous studies have shown that von Willebrand factor (VWF) increases, and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motifs 13 (ADAMTS13) decreases in myocardial infarction. Few studies have examined the involvement of the VWF-ADAMTS13 axis in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
Purpose
Our aim was to investigate VWF-ADAMTS13 axis involvement in atrial fibrillation in STEMI.
Methods
The subjects of this study were participants in an observational study for investigating the difference in the pathology of thrombus retrieved from infarct-related artery between AF and sinus rhythm (SR). From June 2019 to August 2020, patients who underwent thrombus aspiration for STEMI at our hospital. Only subjects whose thrombus could be confirmed were enrolled. They were divided into two groups, the AF group, and the SR group. Serum biomarkers, including ADAMTS13 activity, and VWF were evaluated.
Results
34 patients with STEMI who were able to aspirate thrombus were enrolled in the study. They were divided into two groups: 6 patients with AF (AF group, mean age 72.5 years, 100% male) and 28 patients with SR (SR group, mean age 63.0 years, 100% male). ADAMTS13 activity was significantly lower in AF group than SR group (AF: 0.63 ± 0.14 vs. SR: 0.77 ± 0.13 U / mL, p = 0.037). There was no significant difference in VWF antigen between the two groups (AF: 251 ± 56 vs. SR: 204 ± 69%, p = 0.170). VWF/ADAMTS13 activity in AF group were significantly higher than in SR group.
Conclusion
Our study suggests an association between the VWF-ADAMTS13 axis and atrial fibrillation in STEMI. Abstract Table. Comparison of serum biomarkers

Abstract
Awareness of variations in the hepatic vasculature and biliary system is extremely important for avoiding iatrogenic injury in upper-abdominal surgery. The objective of this study is to describe a rare case of abnormal vascular and biliary structures in the hepatocystic triangle (HCT) (the modern Calot's triangle). During anatomical dissection of the celiac trunk (CT) in an old man, the authors observed the presence of a hepatosplenic trunk arising from the CT and bifurcating into common hepatic and splenic arteries. The common hepatic artery divided into hepatic artery proper and gastroduodenal artery. The presence of accessory right hepatic artery (ARHA) arising from the superior mesenteric artery was also notable. The aberrant artery ascended retropancreatically ventral to the splenic vein, then posterolaterally to the portal vein before termination into the right hepatic lobe in the HCT. Within this triangle, there was an aberrant bile duct originating in the right hepatic lobe and ending in the common hepatic duct. This accessory duct crossed the ARHA and an associated branch (the cystic artery). There is no known previous report on the co-existence of an AHAR and an aberrant bile duct within the HCT, in addition to the hepatosplenic trunk. The clinical implications of the current case are addressed in discussion.

Abstract
Either the triggering of large earthquakes on a fault hosting aseismic slip or the triggering of slow slip events (SSE) by passing seismic waves involve seismological questions with important hazard implications. Just a few observations plausibly suggest that such interactions actually happen in nature. In this study we show that three recent devastating earthquakes in Mexico are likely related to SSEs, describing a cascade of events interacting with each other on a regional scale via quasi-static and/or dynamic perturbations across the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca. Such interaction seems to be conditioned by the transient memory of Earth materials subject to the "traumatic" stress produced by seismic waves of the great 2017 (Mw8.2) Tehuantepec earthquake, which strongly disturbed the SSE cycles over a 650 km long segment of the subduction plate interface. Our results imply that seismic hazard in large populated areas is a short-term evolving function of seismotectonic processes that are often observable.

Abstract
Traveling waves are commonly observed across the brain. While previous studies have suggested the role of traveling waves in learning, the mechanism remains unclear. We adopted a computational approach to investigate the effect of traveling waves on synaptic plasticity. Our results indicate that traveling waves facilitate the learning of poly-synaptic network paths when combined with a reward-dependent local synaptic plasticity rule. We also demonstrate that traveling waves expedite finding the shortest paths and learning nonlinear input/output mapping, such as exclusive or (XOR) function. There are approximately 1011 neurons with 1014 connections in the human brain. Information transmission among neurons in this large network is considered crucial for our behavior. To achieve this, multiple synaptic connections along a poly-synaptic network path must be adjusted coherently during learning. Because the previously proposed reward-dependent synaptic plasticity rule requires coactivation of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons, learning can fail if a subset of neurons along a distant network path is inactive at the beginning of learning. We suggest that traveling waves that are initiated at an information source can mitigate this problem. We performed computer simulations of spiking neural networks with reward-dependent local synaptic plasticity rules and traveling waves. Our results show that this combination facilitates the learning and refinement of synaptic network paths. We argue that these features are a general biological strategy for maintaining and optimizing our brain function. Our research provides new insights into how complex neural networks in the brain form during learning and memory consolidation.

Abstract
It has been reported that the cardiovascular response in the supine position is different from that in the sitting position. However, there are few reports on the effects of posture on cerebral oxygenation during exercise. Cycling exercises change oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb) levels in motor-related areas. Therefore, this study compared O2Hb levels at motor-related areas during recumbent versus supine cycling. Eleven healthy young male performed a 30-min cycling exercise protocol at 50% of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) in the recumbent and supine positions. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to measure exercise-induced O2Hb and HHb changes in the right (R-PMA) and left premotor areas (L-PMA), supplementary motor area (SMA), and primary motor cortex (M1). In R-PMA, L-PMA and SMA, the O2Hb obtained during supine cycling was significantly higher than that during recumbent cycling (R-PMA, 0.031 ± 0.01 vs. 0.693 ± 0.01; L-PMA, 0.027 ± 0.01 vs. 0.085 ± 0.013; SMA, 0.041 ± 0.011 vs. 0.076 ± 0.008 mM·cm, recumbent vs. supine position; p < 0.05). These results suggest that supine cycling exercise increases R-PMA, L-PMA, and SMA O2Hb levels in healthy young men.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Peri-stent contrast staining (PSS) has been reported to be associated with very late stent thrombosis.
The aims of this study was to compare the occurrence rate of PSS between second generation drug-eluting stents (2nd DES) and third generation drug-eluting stents (3rd DES), and to identify clinical characteristics associated with PSS.
Methods and results
This study comprised 1899 patients with 2493 de novo lesions treated with 2nd or 3rd DES from October 2015 to September 2018. Follow-up angiography was available for 1883 lesions (75.5%). There were 725 patients with 968 lesions treated with 2nd DES, and 716 patients with 915 lesions treated with 3rd DES. The occurrence of PSS, types of PSS, and VLST related to PSS were compared between 2nd and 3rd DES implantation. Mean follow-up period was 30±12 months. The occurrence rate of PSS and segmental type of PSS were similar between two groups (2nd DES vs. 3rd DES, 1.5% vs. 1.7%, p=0.73, 47% vs. 50%, p=0.85, and respectively). The VLST related to PSS occurred in only one case in 3rd DES group. (0% vs. 6.3%, p=0.33).
Conclusion
The occurrence rate of PSS and clinical course were similar between 2nd and 3rd DES.

Abstract
Osteochondral fractures of the fingers are challenging to treat, and it is mandatory to acquire early bone union and joint surface reconstruction to obtain satisfactory outcomes. These injuries sometimes occur as open fractures with poor soft tissue condition and bone defect adjacent to osteochondral fragment. For such cases, surgical treatment can be more difficult, and vascularized bone graft (VBG) could be a useful method for joint reconstruction. Here, we report reverse-pedicled VBG based on the radiodorsal artery of the thumb for reconstructing a traumatic bone defect of the thumb. A 36-year-old man, who had ulcerative colitis and was taking immunosuppressive agents, sustained open fracture-dislocation of the thumb interphalangeal joint with a free osteochondral fragment of the proximal phalanx and 6 × 5 × 4 mm of subcondylar bone defect. We harvested 5 × 5 × 5 mm VBG at the base of the first metacarpal bone and dissected running the radiodorsal artery. The vascularized bone was grafted into the bone defect site through the subcutaneous tunnel created on the radial aspect of the proximal phalanx and fixed with a Kirschner wire. Bony union was obtained 2 months after surgery. At 7 months after the operation, the patient complained no pain, and the range of motion of the thumb interphalangeal joint was extension 0° and flexion 42°. Radiographs showed no avascular necrosis of the united fragment and osteoarthritis of the interphalangeal joint. This method could be a useful option for reconstruction of the thumb with bone defects.

Abstract
Introduction
The gold standard of sleep measurement has been laboratory polysomnography (PSG). However, electrodes and cables can cause discomfort, and exposure to an unfamiliar environment can cause the “first-night effect.” Difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep, poor sleep quality, and nightmares are some of the key clinical symptoms observed among individuals with psychiatric disorders. Those suffering from sleep disorders often present with symptoms of discontent with regard to sleep quality, timing, and quantity, and these symptoms have an adverse impact on function and quality of life. A minimally invasive technique would be preferable in patients with psychiatric disorders, who tend to be sensitive to environmental change. Accordingly, we evaluated the performance of a single-channel electroencephalography (EEG)-based sleep monitoring system in patients with psychiatric disorders.
Methods
Fifty-nine patients undergoing PSG were enrolled in this study. Single-channel EEG sleep monitoring was performed simultaneously with PSG. PSG and the EEG recordings were used to evaluate sleep parameters, such as total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, light sleep (stages N1 and N2), and deep sleep (stage N3). Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the agreement on sleep parameters and attributing factors to the inaccuracies of the single-channel EEG recording.
Results
TST, sleep efficiency, REM sleep duration, and non-REM sleep duration of the single-channel EEG-based sleep monitoring showed a significant correlation with those of PSG. Lower sleep efficiency, a decrease in REM sleep, and increases in waking after sleep onset, arousal index, and apnea/hypopnea index were associated with the difference of sleep parameters between the two methods.
Conclusion
Among patients with psychiatric disorders who are sensitive to environmental change single-channel EEG sleep monitoring would be a useful technique to objectively evaluate sleep quality.
