Abstract
OBJECTIVE Plasma cytokine adsorption has shown benefit as an adjunctive therapy in human sepsis but has yet to be investigated in horses. We hypothesized that ex vivo filtration of equine plasma with a novel cytokine adsorption device would significantly reduce concentrations of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokines. We also hypothesized that the device would adsorb medications commonly used to treat sepsis. ANIMALS 8 horses owned by North Carolina State University. METHODS Four liters of heparinized whole blood was collected from healthy adult horses (n = 8) and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (100 ng/mL) for 6 hours (37 °C.) from June 4, 2023, to December 15, 2023. Plasma was filtered through a cytokine adsorption device or sham circuit. Samples were collected at 11 time points for multiplex cytokine analysis. Chemistry analysis was performed before and after filtration. To investigate the impact of the device on medication concentrations, equine plasma containing potassium penicillin, gentamicin, and flunixin meglumine was filtered through the cytokine adsorption device or sham for 6 hours. Drug concentrations before and after filtration were determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography. Prefiltration versus postfiltration sample concentrations were analyzed by Student paired t test using GraphPad Prism 9.0 (P < .05). RESULTS Filtration of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated equine plasma (n = 8) for 6 hours resulted in significant mean reductions in the cytokines IL-10, IL-5, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β, as well as albumin. Drug concentrations of potassium penicillin, gentamicin, and flunixin meglumine were also significantly reduced by filtration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This work provides proof of concept for further investigation of extracorporeal cytokine adsorption as a potential adjunct treatment for equine sepsis.

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 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
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction in humans is an age-related process with an overrepresentation in women. In rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), the incidence and predictors of diastolic dysfunction have yet to be reported. METHODS Data from routine echocardiographic evaluations on clinically healthy rhesus macaques was obtained and used for univariate, bivariate, hypothesis testing, and linear regression statistical analyses interrogating differences and predictors of diastolic function. RESULTS Rhesus macaques fully recapitulate previously reported human hemodynamic studies. Female monkeys display impaired diastology and are at an increased risk for developing diastolic dysfunction. Age, sex, and proxies of exercise activity are confirmed predictors for measures of diastolic dysfunction, regardless of specific pathogen-free status. CONCLUSIONS Rhesus macaques share common sex- and age-related echocardiographic findings as humans, therefore, serve as a valuable translational nonhuman primate model for future studies of diastolic dysfunction. These findings confirm the importance of sex- and age-matching within future rhesus macaque cardiovascular research.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies remain one of the most common inherited cardiac diseases in both human and veterinary patients. To date, well over 100 mutated genes are known to cause cardiomyopathies in humans with only a handful known in cats and dogs. This review highlights the need and use of personalized one-health approaches to cardiovascular case management and advancement in pharmacogenetic-based therapy in veterinary medicine. Personalized medicine holds promise in understanding the molecular basis of disease and ultimately will unlock the next generation of targeted novel pharmaceuticals and aid in the reversal of detrimental effects at a molecular level.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Angiosarcoma of the scalp (AS) is a rare tumor and has often been treated by total scalp irradiation (TSI). TSI is a challenging technique because of the target close to the organs at risks (OARs), located in the skin surface, and helmet-shape of the target. We performed the dosimetric comparison of automated non-coplanar volumetric-modulated arc therapy (HA) and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in TSI for AS. MATERIALS/METHODS A planning study was performed on 20 patients with AS. The clinical target volume (CTV) 1 and CTV2 were defined as gross tumor volume with margin and entire scalp, respectively. For HA, planning target volume (PTV) 1 and PTV2 were defined as CTV1 and CTV2 with 5-mm margins, respectively. For IMPT, robust optimization was utilized which accounted for a 5-mm setup and a 3.5% range uncertainty and dose was prescribed to CTV1 robust and CTV2 robust. The prescription doses were 70 Gy and 56 Gy in 35 fractions to PTV1 (CTV1 robust) and PTV2 (CTV2 robust), respectively, using the simultaneous integrated boost technique. The HA plan was performed using a 6-MV photon beam machine and a 1-cm thick virtual bolus. The HA plan included three half non-coplanar and one full coplanar arc fields. The HA plan used collimator angles of 15°, 60°, 15°, and 120° in the beam with couch rotations of 0°, 45°, 90°, and 315°, respectively. The IMPT plan was performed using a compact proton beam machine dedicated to pencil beam scanning. The IMPT plan used gantry angles of 70°, 150°, 70°, 150°, and 30° in the beam with couch rotations of 0°, 0°, 180°, 180°, and 270°, respectively. The IMPT plan was optimized assuming a relative biological effectiveness of 1.1. The dose distribution and dosimetric parameters for each plan were evaluated. RESULTS All plans met the goals within the acceptable range in target volume coverage, conformity, and homogeneity. Table shows the dosimetric parameters of OARs in HA and IMPT plans. The doses receiving 0.1 cc of the volume for hippocampus, optic passway, eye, and lens in the IMPT plan were significantly lower than those in the HA plan. The IMPT plan showed a significant reduction in the percentage of brain volume receiving at least 5 Gy (V5 Gy) compared to the HA plan, while the HA plan showed a significant reduction of V10 Gy - V60 Gy and mean brain dose compared to the IMPT plan. The HA plan provided a shorter beam-on time (184 ± 9 s) than did the IMPT plan (446 ± 49 s). CONCLUSION The HA and IMPT plans demonstrated different strengths with respect to OARs sparing.

Abstract
Introduction The antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel can vary between patients. A modified thromboelastography (TEG) protocol (TEG-Platelet Mapping assay® [TEG-PM]) can be used for clopidogrel monitoring but is not widely available. Thrombin generation (TG) assays could offer a novel alternative. The main objective of this pilot study was to assess TG assay variables (lag time, peak, endogenous thrombin potential [ETP]) in dogs before and after 7 days of clopidogrel administration and compare with TEG-PM variables (maximum amplitude [MA]-ADP and percentage (%) inhibition). Methods Six healthy mix-breed dogs were enrolled in this pilot study. Blood samples for platelet count, TG assays, and TEG-PM were obtained at two time points, corresponding to baseline, and after 7 days of clopidogrel administration (mean 2.3 +/- 0.3 mg/kg PO q24 hours). Data were then compared with a Student's t-test. Results There was no significant change in TG assay variables performed on platelet poor plasma after 7 days of clopidogrel administration: lag time (Day 1: 1.8 +/- 0.2 min, Day 7: 1.8 +/- 0.2 min, p = 0.42); peak (Day 1: 76 +/- 7 nM, Day 7: 72 +/- 10 nM, p = 0.49); and ETP (Day 1: 399 +/- 27 nM*min, Day 7: 392 +/- 32 nM*min; p = 0.49). There were significant changes in TEG MA-ADP (Day 1: 19 +/- 8 mm, Day 7: 9 +/- 6 mm, p = 0.04) and % inhibition (Day 1: 58 +/- 27, Day 7: 99 +/- 0.3, p = 0.02). Discussion Clopidogrel administration did not lead to changes in TG assay variables performed on platelet poor plasma samples, despite concomitant changes in TEG-PM variables consistent with platelet inhibition. Based on this pilot study, thrombin generation performed on platelet poor plasma may not be a useful antiplatelet monitoring tool in dogs.

Abstract
We sought to establish a large animal model of inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with sufficient disease severity and early penetrance for identification of novel therapeutic strategies. HCM is the most common inherited cardiac disorder affecting 1 in 250-500 people, yet few therapies for its treatment or prevention are available. A research colony of purpose-bred cats carrying the A31P mutation in MYBPC3 was founded using sperm from a single heterozygous male cat. Cardiac function in four generations was assessed by periodic echocardiography and measurement of blood biomarkers. Results showed that HCM penetrance was age-dependent, and that penetrance occurred earlier and was more severe in successive generations, especially in homozygotes. Homozygosity was also associated with progression from preclinical to clinical disease. A31P homozygous cats represent a heritable model of HCM with early disease penetrance and a severe phenotype necessary for interventional studies aimed at altering disease progression. The occurrence of a more severe phenotype in later generations of cats, and the occasional occurrence of HCM in wildtype cats suggests the presence of at least one gene modifier or a second causal variant in this research colony that exacerbates the HCM phenotype when inherited in combination with the A31P mutation.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
A 12-year-old female spayed dachshund was presented for emergency assessment of respiratory distress, characterized by inspiratory dyspnea with stridor. Percutaneous ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation of a functional parathyroid tumor was performed 72-h earlier for management of primary hyperparathyroidism. The dog was hypocalcemic (ionized calcium 0.7 mmol/L, reference interval: 0.9-1.3 mmol/L) at the time of presentation and had evidence of laryngospasm on a sedated oral exam. The dog was managed conservatively with supplemental oxygen, anxiolysis, and parenteral calcium administration. These interventions were associated with rapid and sustained improvement in clinical signs. The dog did not demonstrate any recurrence of signs afterwards. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first description of laryngospasm following ethanol ablation of a parathyroid nodule in a dog that developed hypocalcemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationships between HbA1c levels with exocrine pancreatic function using cine-dynamic magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and the pancreatic parenchyma using fat-suppressed T1 mapping and the proton density fat fraction (PDFF). METHODS Patients who underwent 3T-MRI and HbA1c measurement were retrospectively recruited. MRI included cine-dynamic MRCP with a spatially selective inversion-recovery (SS-IR) pulse, fat-suppressed Look-Locker T1 mapping and multi echo 3D Dixon based PDFF mapping. The pancreatic exocrine secretion grade on cine-dynamic MRCP, T1 values, and PDFF were analysed in non-diabetic (n = 32), pre-diabetic (n = 44) and diabetic (n = 23) groups defined using HbA1c. RESULTS PDFF was weakly correlation with HbA1c (rho = 0.30, p = 0.002). No correlations were detected between HbA1c and secretion grade (rho= - 0.16, p = 0.118) or pancreatic parenchymal T1 (rho = 0.13, p = 0.19). The secretion grade was comparable between the three groups. The T1 value was higher in diabetic (T1 = 1006.2+/- 224.8 ms) than in non-diabetic (T1 = 896.2+/- 86.3 ms, p = 0.010) and pre-diabetic (T1 = 870.1+/- 91.7 ms, p < 0.010) patients. The PDFF was higher in diabetic (FF = 11.8+/- 8.7 %) than in non-diabetic (FF = 6.8+/- 4.2 %, p = 0.014) patients. CONCLUSION Pancreatic exocrine function, T1, and FF showed no correlation with HbA1c. Pancreatic T1 and fat fraction is increased in patients with T2DM. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study demonstrates unaffected exocrine function in pre-diabetes and diabetes and confirms that pancreatic parenchymal T1 and FF are increased in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Since its first observation in the 18th century, the diffusion phenomenon has been actively studied by many researchers. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a technique to probe the diffusion of water molecules and create a MR image with contrast based on the local diffusion properties. The DWI pixel intensity is modulated by the hindrance the diffusing water molecules experience. This hindrance is caused by structures in the tissue and reflects the state of the tissue. This characteristic makes DWI a unique and effective tool to gain more insight into the tissue's pathophysiological condition. In the past decades, DWI has made dramatic technical progress, leading to greater acceptance in clinical practice. In the abdominal region, however, acquiring DWI with good quality is challenging because of several reasons, such as large imaging volume, respiratory and other types of motion, and difficulty in achieving homogeneous fat suppression. In this review, we discuss technical advancements from the past decades that help mitigate these problems common in abdominal imaging. We describe the use of scan acceleration techniques such as parallel imaging and compressed sensing to reduce image distortion in echo planar imaging. Then we compare techniques developed to mitigate issues due to respiratory motion, such as free-breathing, respiratory-triggering, and navigator-based approaches. Commonly used fat suppression techniques are also introduced, and their effectiveness is discussed. Additionally, the influence of the abovementioned techniques on image quality is demonstrated. Finally, we discuss the current and future clinical applications of abdominal DWI, such as whole-body DWI, simultaneous multiple-slice excitation, intravoxel incoherent motion, and the use of artificial intelligence. Abdominal DWI has the potential to develop further in the future, thanks to scan acceleration and image quality improvement driven by technological advancements. The accumulation of clinical proof will further drive clinical acceptance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report injuries sustained by dogs following motor vehicle trauma: direct motor vehicle collision (MVC), and fall from an open pickup truck bed during transportation (PTB). STUDY DESIGN Medical records of dogs involved in motor vehicle trauma between 2002 and 2020 were reviewed. Signalment, mode of injury, injuries sustained, and treatments performed were recorded. An owner questionnaire investigated effects of the trauma on the dog and owner. RESULTS Six hundred and ninety-eight dogs met the inclusion criteria (569 MVC, 102 PTB). Orthopaedic trauma was significantly more common after PTB (90.2%) (MVC, 75.6%; p = 0.011). There were not any differences in the prevalence of soft tissue injuries between groups (76.4% MVC, 67.6% PTB; p = 0.058), however, MVC dogs had significantly more thoracic (26.9% MVC, 4.4% PTB) and abdominal (12.9% MVC, 0% PTB) trauma (p <0.001). Surgical treatments were performed significantly more often after PTB (71.6%) (MVC, 47.6%) (p <0.001). Discharge rate after PTB (95.0%) was significantly higher (MVC, 84.0%) (p <0.001). Aftercare was reported to be significantly more difficult after PTB (76.2%) (MVC, 34.0%; p = 0.002). CONCLUSION MVC and PTB result in significantly different trauma. PTB causes predominantly orthopaedic and integument injuries, whereas MVC results in thoracic and abdominal trauma. Survival to discharge is greater following PTB than MVC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare diagnostic performance for tumor detection and for assessment of tumor aggressiveness in prostate cancer (PC) between amide proton transfer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 3-dimensional acquisition (3DAPT) and diffusion-weighted imaging. METHODS The subjects were 23 patients with 27 pathologically proven PCs who underwent 3T multiparametric MRI. With reference to the pathology findings, 2 readers in consensus identified the location of PC on multiparametric MRI and measured APT signal intensity (APT SI [%]) and mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the benign region and each PC lesion. RESULTS The mean ADC showed a significant difference between benign regions and PC lesions (0.74 ± 0.15 vs 1.37 ± 0.21, P < 0.001), whereas APT SI did not ( P = 0.091). Lesion APT SI was significantly higher and lesion ADC was significantly lower in PCs with Gleason group (GG) ≥3 than in PCs with GG ≤2 (3.37 ± 1.30 vs 1.78 ± 0.67, P < 0.001, and 0.71 ± 0.18 vs 0.79 ± 0.10, P = 0.038, respectively). The APT SI was significantly higher in GG3 than in GG1, in GG3 than in GG2, and in GG4 than in GG2 ( P = 0.009, P = 0.001, and P = 0.006, respectively). The area under the curve for separating tumor lesions and benign regions was 0.601 for 3DAPT and 0.983 for ADC ( P < 0.001). The area under the curve for separating tumors with GG ≤2 from tumors with GG ≥3 was 0.912 for 3DAPT and 0.734 for ADC ( P = 0.172). CONCLUSIONS In patients with PC, it might be preferable to use ADC to discriminate benign from malignant tissue and use APT SI for assessment of tumor aggressiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional management of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) intoxication includes gastrointestinal decontamination, intravenous administration of fluids (IVF), and gastroprotection. Intravenous administration of lipid emulsion (ILE) and therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) are popular novel therapeutic strategies. HYPOTHESIS Compare outcomes of dogs treated with IVF, ILE, and TPE for NSAID intoxications and evaluate outcome predictors for drug subgroups. ANIMALS Four hundred thirty-four dogs with NSAID intoxications (2015-2020). METHODS Multicenter retrospective study of ibuprofen, carprofen, and naproxen intoxication. An ordinal outcome was defined as mild gastrointestinal, moderate kidney, or signs of severe central nervous system disease. RESULTS Signs of neurological disease were overrepresented and acute kidney injury underrepresented in the TPE group among dogs exposed to kidney- or CNS-toxic doses (P = .05), though all TPE dogs with signs of neurological disease had evidence of neurotoxicity at presentation. Dogs treated with IVF had a higher maximal creatinine concentration (median, 1.1 mg/dL; range, 0.4-8.44 mg/dL) compared with IVF + ILE (median, 0.9 mg/dL; range, 0.4-6.2 mg/dL; P = .01). Increased maximum time to presentation (P < .001), higher baseline creatinine (P < .001) and PCV (P = .007), and absence of induced emesis (P < .001) were associated with greater clinical severity. Ibuprofen toxicosis was associated with more severe clinical signs compared with carprofen (P = .03). Overall survival rate was 99%. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE NSAID toxicosis generally carries an excellent prognosis in dogs. Despite similar outcomes of lower incidence of AKI in the TPE group, and slightly lower maximal creatinine concentration in dogs treated with ILE vs IVF alone, ILE and TPE should be considered in the management of severe NSAID toxicosis.

Abstract
In prostate MRI, single-shot EPI (ssEPI) DWI still suffers from distortion and blurring. Multi-shot EPI (msEPI) overcomes the drawbacks of ssEPI DWI. The aim of this article was to compare the image quality and diagnostic performance for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) between ssEPI DWI and msEPI DWI. This retrospective study included 134 patients with suspected PC who underwent 3.0 T MRI and subsequent MRI-guided biopsy. Three radiologists independently assessed anatomical distortion, prostate edge clarity, and lesion conspicuity score for pathologically confirmed csPC. Lesion apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and benign ADC were also calculated. In 17 PC patients who underwent prostatectomy, three radiologists independently assessed eight prostate regions by DWI score in PI-RADS v 2.1. Anatomical distortion and prostate edge clarity were significantly higher in msEPI DWI than in ssEPI DWI in the three readers. Lesion conspicuity score was significantly higher in msEPI DWI than in ssEPI DWI in reader 1 and reader 3. Regarding discrimination ability between PC with GS ≤ 3 + 4 and PC with GS ≥ 4 + 3 using lesion ADC, AUC was comparable between ssEPI DWI and msEPI DWI. For diagnostic performance of csPC using DWI score, AUC was comparable between msEPI DWI and ssEPI DWI in all readers. Compared with ssEPI DWI, msEPI DWI had improved image quality and similar or higher diagnostic performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is gaining popularity for the management of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) overdose in dogs. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Describe a population of dogs treated with TPE for NSAID overdose. ANIMALS Sixty-two dogs with NSAID overdose treated with TPE. METHODS Multicenter retrospective study of dogs treated with TPE for ibuprofen, carprofen, or naproxen overdose. RESULTS The median dose of ibuprofen, carprofen or naproxen ingested was 533 mg/kg (range, 36-4857 mg/kg), 217 mg/kg (range, 88-625 mg/kg) and 138 mg/kg (range, 26-3000 mg/kg), respectively. Based on previously established toxic ranges for each NSAID, 2 (3.2%), 14 (22.6%), and 46 (74.2%) dogs ingested a gastrointestinal, renal, and neurological toxic dose, respectively. The median time between ingestion and presentation was 4 hours (range, 1-20 hours). The median number of plasma volumes processed was 1.6 (range, 0.4-2.2). The median TPE session duration was 2 hours (range, 1-4.5 hours). Circuit clotting developed during 8 (12.9%) sessions. Patient adverse events reported during 21 (33.8%) sessions consisted of urticaria (12.9%), asymptomatic hypocalcemia (9.6%), and hypotension (9.6%). The median duration of hospitalization was 2.25 days (range, 1-11 days). Sixty-one (98.4%) dogs survived to discharge, and none were rehospitalized. Thirty-one (91.1%) of the 34 dogs with at least 1 follow-up visit were not azotemic at the time of reevaluation. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE This population of dogs managed with TPE had excellent outcomes, even in cases of high NSAID dose ingestion. When TPE is available and the time frame is appropriate, this extracorporeal modality should be considered for the management of NSAID overdose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Image quality (IQ) of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with single-shot echo-planar imaging (ssEPI) suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in high b-value acquisitions. Compressed SENSE (C-SENSE), which combines SENSE with compressed sensing, enables SNR to be improved by reducing noise. The aim of this study was to compare IQ and prostate cancer (PC) detectability between DWI with ssEPI using SENSE (EPIS) and using C-SENSE (EPICS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with pathologically proven PC underwent multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging at 3T. DW images acquired with EPIS and EPICS were assessed for the following: lesion conspicuity (LC), SNR, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), mean and standard deviation (SD) of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of lesion (lADCm and lADCsd), coefficient of variation of lesion ADC (lADCcv), and mean ADC of benign prostate (bADCm). RESULTS LC were comparable between EPIS and EPICS (p > 0.050), and SNR and CNR were significantly higher in EPICS than EPIS (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001). In both EPIS and EPICS, lADCm was significantly lower than bADCm (p < 0.001). In addition, lADCcv was significantly lower in EPICS than in EPIS (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Compared with EPIS, EPICS has improved IQ and comparable diagnostic performance in PC.

Abstract
Wildfires pose a major health risk for humans, wildlife, and domestic animals. We previously discovered pathophysiologic parallels between domestic cats with naturally occurring smoke inhalation and thermal burn injuries and human beings with similar injuries; these were characterized by transient myocardial thickening, cardiac troponin I elevation and formation of intracardiac thrombosis. While the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, results from murine models suggest that platelet priming and activation may contribute to a global hypercoagulable state and thrombosis. Herein, we evaluated and compared the degree of platelet activation, platelet response to physiologic agonists and levels of platelet-derived microvesicles (PDMV) in 29 cats with naturally occurring wildfire thermal injuries (WF), 21 clinically healthy cats with subclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and 11 healthy cats without HCM (CC). We also quantified and compared circulating PDMVs in WF cats to CC cats. In addition, we examined the association between thrombotic events, severity of burn injuries, myocardial changes, and the degree of platelet activation in cats exposed to wildfires. Flow cytometric detection of platelet surface P-selectin expression showed that WF cats had increased platelet response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thrombin compared to the two control groups indicating the presence of primed platelets in circulation. In addition, cats in the WF group had increased circulating levels of PDMV, characterized by increased phosphatidylserine on the external leaflet. Cats in the WF group with documented intracardiac thrombosis had elevated platelet activation and platelet priming in the presence of ADP. While high dose arachidonic acid (AA) mostly resulted in platelet inhibition, persistent response to AA was noted among cats in the WF group with intracardiac thrombosis. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses demonstrated that increased platelet response to AA was independently associated with thrombotic events. This is the first study reporting the significant association between platelet priming and intracardiac thrombosis in domestic cats with naturally occurring wildfire-related injuries and smoke inhalation. Further studies are required to delineate additional mechanisms between inflammation and thrombosis, especially regarding platelet primers and the cyclooxygenase pathway.

Abstract
BackgroundMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are heterogeneous immature myeloid cells with suppressive functions (1). It is known that MDSCs are expanded in inflammatory sites after migrating from bone marrow (BM) or spleen. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized as polyarthritis. Although previous reports indicate that MDSCs are increased in BM and spleen of arthritis model mice, detailed analysis of MDSCs in inflammatory joints is limited.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to characterize the MDSCs in the joints of autoimmune arthritis.MethodsWe isolated CD11b+Gr1+ cells as MDSCs from joints (Jo-MDSCs), bone marrow (BM-MDSCs) and spleen (Sp-MDSCs) of arthritis-induced SKG mice, and investigated differential expressed genes (DEGs) among MDSCs from three tissues by microarray expression analysis. Furthermore, we analyzed the suppressive function of each MDSCs by investigating the effect of them on T cell -proliferation and the osteoclast differentiation of each MDSCs stimulated by M-CSF and RANKL.ResultsMicroarray analysis revealed that Jo-MDSCs highly expressed immunosuppressive DEGs (Pdl1, Arg1, Egr2 and Egr3) compared to BM MDSCs or Sp MDSCs. In addition, Jo-MDCSs highly expressed NF-κB non-canonical pathway DEGs (Nfkb2 and Relb), which are related to osteoclast differentiation. BM-MDSCs differentiated into osteoclasts but didn’t suppress T cell-proliferation and Sp-MDSCs suppressed T cell-proliferation but didn’t differentiate into osteoclasts. On the other hand, Jo-MDSCs was found to have both functions: T cell suppression and osteoclast differentiation potential.ConclusionJo-MDSCs have a strong inhibitory effect on T cell proliferation and have the ability osteoclast differentiation potential.References[1]Veglia F, Perego M, Gabrilovich D.

Abstract
BackgroundButyric acid is known to improve chronic inflammation such as inflammatory bowel disease and arthritis [1, 2]. Dendritic cells activate in inflammatory condition, migrate to regional lymph nodes, and activate naive T cells.ObjectivesIn this study, we investigated the effect of butyric acid on the migration ability of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC).MethodsHuman CD14+ Monocytes were purified by positive selection from PBMC using CD14 magnetic beads. Cells were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF (50 ng/ml) and IL-4 (20 ng/ml) for 5 days. After culturing for 5 days, cells were matured with LPS (1ug/ml) for 24 hours. Butyric acid was administered at different dose or period. Surface antigen on moDC was analyzed by flow cytometry (BD FACS VERSE). Migration assay was performed on Boyden chamber CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Migration Assay (5um). Actin was stained with Alexa Fluor 488 Phalloidin before and after migration assay. After administration with butyric acid assigned to each period and concentration, moDC were lysed for western blot analysis for evaluating signaling. Chemiluminescent signals were detected and calculated by Amersham Imager.ResultsWe demonstrated that butyric acid decreased the CCR7 expression of moDC, which has a key role in DC homing to the lymph nodes and intestinal Peyer’s patches. We also showed that butyric acid decreased the migration ability of moDC. Furthermore, moDCs cultured with butyric acid showed a round shape and poor formation of dendrites and pseudopodia. Then we studied the effect of butyric acid on cytoskeleton, which plays an important role in migration and pseudopodia formation of DCs. Polymerized Actin (F-Actin) staining revealed that butyrate suppressed actin polymerization of moDC in a dose dependent manner. CDC42 works important role of lamellipodia and membrane protrusions. RhoA is upstream of mDia1, and mDia1 was reported to accelerate actin nucleation and elongation. We revealed that butyrate decreased the protein expression of mDia1, RhoA, and CDC42, while beta actin was not downregulated, by Western blot analysis. Our results suggested that butyric acid suppresses migration of moDCs by inhibiting mDia1-medicated actin polymerization.ConclusionButyric acid suppresses migration of moDCs by inhibiting mDia1-medicated actin polymerization.References[1]Mafalda R Couto 1, Pedro Gonçalves 2, Fernando Magro 3, Fátima Martel, et al.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (hDWI) with a b-value of 2000 s/mm2 provides insufficient image contrast between benign and malignant tissues and an overlap of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) between Gleason grades (GG) in prostate cancer (PC). We compared image quality, PC detectability, and discrimination ability for PC aggressiveness between ultra-high b-value DWI (uhDWI) of 3000 s/mm2 and hDWI. METHODS The subjects were 49 patients with PC who underwent 3T multiparametric MRI. Single-shot echo-planar DWI was acquired with b-values of 0, 2000, and 3000 s/mm2. Anatomical distortion of prostate (AD), signal intensity of benign prostate (PSI), and lesion conspicuity score (LCS) were assessed using a 4-point scale; and signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, and mean ADC (×10-3 mm2/s) of lesion (lADC) and surrounding benign region (bADC) were measured. RESULTS PSI was significantly lower in uhDWI than in hDWI (p < 0.001). AD, LCS, signal-to-noise ratio, and contrast-to-noise ratio were comparable between uhDWI and hDWI (all p > 0.05). In contrast, lADC was significantly lower than bADC in both uhDWI and hDWI (both p < 0.001). In comparison of lADC between tumors of ≤GG2 and those of ≥GG3, both uhDWI and hDWI showed significant difference (p = 0.007 and p = 0.021, respectively). AUC for separating tumors of ≤GG2 from those of ≥GG3 was 0.731 in hDWI and 0.699 in uhDWI (p = 0.161). CONCLUSION uhDWI suppressed background signal better than hDWI, but did not contribute to increased diagnostic performance in PC. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Compared with hDWI, uhDWI could not contribute to increased diagnostic performance in PC.

Abstract
The utility of ambulatory electrocardiography (AECG) to evaluate cats with subclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) for arrhythmias and heart rate variability (HRV) is not well defined but may provide information regarding risk stratification. This prospective study used AECG to evaluate ectopy and HRV in subclinical HCM cats compared to healthy controls and is the first to implement a pharmacologic cardiac stress test. Twenty-three purpose-bred, Maine coon cross cats (16 HCM, 7 control) underwent 48-h of continuous AECG. Terbutaline (0.2-0.3 mg/kg) was administered orally at 24 and 36 h. Heart rate, ectopy frequency and complexity and HRV parameters, including standard deviation of normal R-R intervals (SDNN), were compared pre-terbutaline and post-terbutaline and across phenotype, genotype and sex. Genotype for an HCM-causative mutation was significantly associated with the frequency of supraventricular (P = 0.033) and ventricular (P = 0.026) ectopy across all cats. Seven HCM cats and zero healthy cats had a sinus arrhythmia. Mean heart rate was significantly higher post-terbutaline (p < 0.0001). HCM cats had significantly greater HRV compared to controls (SDNN: p = 0.0006). Male cats had significantly higher HRV (SDNN: p = 0.0001) and lower mean heart rates (p = 0.0001). HRV decreased post-terbutaline (SDNN: p = 0.0008) and changes in HRV observed between sexes were attenuated by terbutaline.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to stressful environments can negatively impact cats' health and welfare, affecting behavioral, autonomic, endocrine, and immune function, as with cats in shelters. Low-stress handling practices likely improve shelter cat welfare, but data supporting improved outcomes remain limited. Cardiac activity, particularly heart rate variability (HRV), is an indicator of stress and emotional state in humans and non-human animals, tracking important body functions associated with stress responsiveness, environmental adaptability, mental, and physical health. HRV studies in cats are limited, involving mainly anesthetized or restrained cats. This pilot study tested the feasibility of obtaining HRV data from unrestrained cats, using a commercially available cardiac monitoring system (Polar H10 with chest strap), compared with data from a traditional ambulatory electrocardiogram. Simultaneous data for the two systems were obtained for five adult cats. Overall, the Polar H10 monitor assessments of HRV were lower than the true HRV assessment by ambulatory ECG, except for SDNN. Correlation between the two systems was weak. Possible reasons for the lack of agreement between the two methods are discussed. At this time, our results do not support the use of Polar H10 heart rate monitors for studies of HRV in cats.

Abstract
PURPOSE This multi-scanner study aimed to investigate the validity of single breath-hold (BH) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) using simultaneous-multislice (SMS) echo-planar imaging in multiple abdominal organs to enable faster acquisition and reliable quantification of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). METHODS SNR, geometric distortion (GD), and ADC in a phantom; the ADC in the liver, renal cortex, paraspinal muscle, spleen, and pancreas; and the signal intensity ratio of the portal vein-to-muscle (SIRPV-M) in healthy volunteers were compared between BH- and respiratory-triggered (RT) DWI with b-values of 0 and 800 s/mm2 in two different MRI scanners. RESULTS The phantom study showed that the SNR of BH-DWI was significantly lower than that of the RT-DWI (P < 0.05 for both scanners), whereas the GD and ADC of BH-DWI did not differ significantly from those of the RT-DWI (P = 0.09-0.60). In the volunteer study, the scan times were 23 seconds for BH-DWI and 184±33 seconds for RT-DWI, respectively. The ADC of the liver in BH-DWI was significantly lower than that in RT-DWI (P < 0.05 for both scanners), whereas there were no significant differences in the ADCs of the renal cortex, paraspinal muscle, spleen, or pancreas between BH-DWI and RT-DWI (P = 0.07-0.86). The SIRPV-M in BH-DWI was significantly smaller than in RT-DWI (P < 0.05 for both scanners). CONCLUSION The proposed method enables the acquisition of abdominal diffusion-weighted images in a single BH.

Abstract
Studying spin-momentum correlations in hadronic collisions offers a glimpse into a three-dimensional picture of proton structure. The transverse single-spin asymmetry for midrapidity isolated direct photons in p^{↑}+p collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Because direct photons in particular are produced from the hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force, this measurement is a clean probe of initial-state spin-momentum correlations inside the proton and is in particular sensitive to gluon interference effects within the proton. This is the first time direct photons have been used as a probe of spin-momentum correlations at RHIC. The uncertainties on the results are a 50-fold improvement with respect to those of the one prior measurement for the same observable, from the Fermilab E704 experiment. These results constrain gluon spin-momentum correlations in transversely polarized protons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ligaments and tendons are difficult to differentiate on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ligaments and tendons are different histologically, and tendon graft ligamentization is known to occur after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. PURPOSE To quantify and differentiate the ultrashort echo time T2* (UTE-T2*) values of normal knee ligaments and tendons using a 1.5-T MRI scanner. MATERIAL AND METHODS The right knees of 12 healthy volunteers (6 men, 6 women; mean age = 30.8 ± 9.6 years) were scanned using a UTE-T2* sequence and the UTE-T2* values of the proximal, middle, and distal portions of the ACL, posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and patellar tendon (PT) were evaluated. Two doctors manually drew the regions of interest four times and intra- and inter-observer reliability were evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficients. RESULTS The UTE-T2* values of ACL at the proximal, middle, distal, and mean were 12.0 ± 2.3, 11.3 ± 2.3, 12.3 ± 2.6, and 11.9 ± 2.4 ms, respectively. The UTE-T2* values of the PCL at each site were 6.9 ± 1.5, 9.0 ± 1.8, 8.8 ± 2.4, and 8.3 ± 2.1 ms, respectively. The UTE-T2* values of the PT at each site were 7.1 ± 1.7, 4.3 ± 1.7, 4.3 ± 1.8, and 5.2 ± 2.1 ms, respectively. Both intra- and inter-observer reliability showed high agreement rates. There were significant differences among the ACL mean, PCL mean, and PT mean, with a P value <0.01 in all cases. CONCLUSION This study confirms that UTE-T2* mapping can quantify the ACL, PCL, and PT, and tendons and ligaments can be differentiated using the UTE-T2* values in normal volunteer knee joints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare hemostatic variables performed on blood samples obtained from indwelling jugular catheters or direct venipuncture over a 72-hour period. DESIGN Prospective experimental study. SETTING University research laboratory. ANIMALS Five healthy neutered male purpose-bred Beagle dogs. INTERVENTIONS Each dog was sedated to facilitate placement of a long-stay 20-Ga polyurethane IV catheter into the jugular vein. Blood samples were obtained from the preplaced catheters at 4 time points corresponding to 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours relative to placement. Blood samples were also obtained by direct venipuncture of a peripheral vein using a 21-Ga butterfly catheter and evacuated blood tubes at the same time points. Platelet count, platelet closure time, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, and kaolin-activated thromboelastography were performed on these paired samples at each time point. The patency of the indwelling catheters was maintained by flushing every 6 hours with heparinized saline. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS No significant differences were identified in any of the hemostatic variables obtained by either blood collection technique at any time point during the study (P > 0.05). There was also no significant day-to-day variation in any catheter-derived hemostatic variable obtained from individual dogs identified over the course of the study. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that accurate hemostatic variables may be obtained using blood collected from indwelling jugular catheters, maintained with heparinized saline for at least 72 hours, in healthy dogs.

Abstract
In a colony of rhesus macaques at California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC), naturally occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) classified by left ventricular hypertrophy without obvious underlying diseases has been identified during necropsy over the last two decades. A preliminary pedigree analysis suggested a strong genetic predisposition of this disease with a founder effect. However, the mode of inheritance was undetermined due to insufficient pedigree data. Since 2015, antemortem examination using echocardiographic examination as well as other cardiovascular analyses have been performed on large numbers of rhesus macaques at the colony. Based on antemortem examination, HCM was diagnosed in additional 65 rhesus macaques. Using HCM cases diagnosed based on antemortem and postmortem examinations, the heritability (h2) was estimated to determine the degree of genetic and environmental contributions to the development of HCM in rhesus macaques at the CNPRC. The calculated mean and median heritability (h2) of HCM in this colony of rhesus macaques were 0.5 and 0.51 (95% confidence interval; 0.14-0.82), respectively. This suggests genetics influence development of HCM in the colony of rhesus macaques. However, post-translational modifications and environmental factors are also likely to contribute the variability of phenotypic expression. Based on the pedigree analysis, an autosomal recessive trait was suspected, but an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with incomplete penetrance was also possible. Further investigation with more data from siblings, offspring, and parents of HCM-affected rhesus macaques are warranted. Importantly, the findings of the present study support conducting genetic investigations such as whole genome sequencing to identify the causative variants of inherited HCM in rhesus macaques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior studies have suggested that pimobendan is associated with several positive effects in cats, including improved survival in cats with congestive heart failure and improved left atrial function in research colony cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and normal cats. However, there is still a paucity of pharmacodynamic data refuting or supporting the use of pimobendan in a clinical cat population. This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects and tolerability of a single dose of pimobendan in cats with HCM. Echocardiograms and Doppler-derived systolic blood pressures were performed in 21 client-owned cats with subclinical HCM at baseline and 90-min after oral administration of 1.25 mg of pimobendan (Vetmedin). Seven additional cats were evaluated post-placebo administration to account for intra-day variability. RESULTS Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and murmur grade were not significantly different between baseline and post-pimobendan evaluations. Left auricular blood flow velocity, left atrial size, and left ventricular fractional shortening were not significantly different between baseline and post-pimobendan evaluations. Mean (± standard deviation) tissue Doppler peak systolic velocity of the mitral annulus was significantly higher following pimobendan (7.4 cm/s ± 1.5 vs 8.5 ± 1.6; p = 0.02). Median (min, max) left-ventricular outflow tract maximum velocity was significantly higher following pimobendan [1.9 m/sec (1.5, 3.4) vs 2.6 m/sec (2.0, 4.0); p = 0.01]. Mean right-ventricular outflow tract maximum velocity was also significantly higher following pimobendan (1.5 m/s ± 0.51 vs 2.0 ± 0.53; p = 0.004). Mean left atrial fractional shortening was significantly higher following pimobendan (28% ± 6 vs 32% ± 7; p = 0.02). No adverse events were observed following pimobendan administration. Right ventricular outflow tract velocity was significantly higher following placebo in control cats (1.02 ± 0.21 versus 1.31 ± 0.31; p = 0.01). No other significant differences were detected. CONCLUSIONS In client-owned cats with HCM, pimobendan acutely increased left atrial function and mildly increased left ventricular systolic function. Left ventricular outflow tract velocity was increased after pimobendan. Pimobendan was well tolerated in the acute setting in cats with HCM. The findings of this prospective, acute-dosing study confirm previous findings in research animals and retrospective analyses and suggest that chronic dosing studies are safe and warranted.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Polymer- and carrier-free Biolimus-A9-coated stent (DCS) is expected better vascular healing compared with conventional durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DES). Moreover, DCS had been demonstrated in clinical trials to allow one-month short dual antiplatelet therapy, which might achieve sufficient healing at only 1 month after implantation. However, the process of vascular healing after DCS implantation has not been elucidated by angioscopic observation.
Purpose
To evaluate the process of vascular healing at 1 month and 12 months after DCS implantation.
Methods
This study included 57 patients treated with DCS or durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in our hospital from April 2017 to April 2019. Firstly, the angioscopic findings of DCS at 1 month (n=16) and 12 months (n=14) after implantation were respectively compared with EES at 12 months after implantation (EES-12, n=35) as a standard healing status of DES. Secondary, angioscopic findings of DCS at 1 month and 12 months after implantation were compared among the serially observed eight patients. Neointimal coverage (NIC) grade, yellow colour grade, and the presence of thrombus were evaluated. NIC grade was classified as grade 0 (no neointimal coverage), grade 1 (struts were bulged into lumen but covered), grade 2 (struts were embedded in the neointima but visible), or grade 3 (struts were fully embedded and invisible). Yellow colour grade was classified as grade 0 (white), grade 1 (light yellow), grade 2 (yellow), or grade 3 (intensive yellow).
Results
At 1 month after DCS implantation, dominant NIC grade was lower (0.3±0.5 vs. 1.5±0.7, p<0.001) and the frequency of thrombus was higher (38% vs. 6%, p=0.008) than EES-12. On the other hands, at 12 months after DCS implantation, dominant NIC grade was higher (2.1±0.6 vs. 1.5±0.7, p=0.013) and the frequency of thrombus was not different (7% vs. 6%, p=1.000) in comparison with EES-12. By serial observation of DCS, dominant NIC grade was higher at 12 months than at 1 month (2.3±0.5 vs. 0.4±0.5, p<0.001), while yellow colour grade (1.0±0.5 vs. 1.5±1.2, p=0.227) and the frequency of thrombus adhesion (0% vs. 38%, p=0.200) were not different.
Conclusion
Compared with EES-12, vascular healing of DCS was inferior at 1 month but superior at 12 months.

Abstract
Introduction
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a progressive disease characterized by cardiac remodeling, hyperdynamic contraction, and impaired ventricular filling that can lead to dynamic left-ventricular outflow-track (LVOT) obstruction and exertional intolerance. Direct myosin-inhibition with mavacamten can normalize contractility and improve exercise capacity in patients with oHCM, providing sustained symptomatic relief. However, mavacamten can also improve ventricular filling by limiting residual cross-bridges during diastole, and therefore, may offer cardiac benefits beyond obstruction reprieve. This study leveraged a feline model of oHCM, cats with the A31P MYBPC3 variant, to study the acute in vivo effects of MYK-581, a mavacamten surrogate, on cardiac hemodynamics and filling.
Methods
A31P-homozygous cats with HCM (A31P, n=10) and wild-type healthy controls (CTRL, n=9) were anesthetized and instrumented for invasive pressure-volume (PV) measurements as well as trans-thoracic echocardiographic recording. A subset of cats were assigned to receive either vehicle (VEH, n=7) or MYK-581 (MYK, n=8) with a short IV infusion. Cardiac hemodynamics, function, and geometry were assessed at steady state before and during dobutamine challenges (2.5 μg/kg/min IV).

A31P cats had thicker ventricular walls (6.4±0.1 vs. 5.2±0.2 mm, P<0.05) and hyperdynamic contraction (FS: 61±4 vs. 50±3%, P<0.05) relative to controls and presented with dynamic LVOT obstruction in 54% of cases. HCM cats had elevated end-diastolic pressures (17±1.4 vs. 9±1.0 mmHg, P<0.05), with prolonged time constants of relaxation (60±4.1 vs. 36±2.4 ms, P<0.05) and elevated end-diastolic stiffness (Eed: 0.44±0.06 vs. 0.25±0.01 mmHg/mL). Acute treatment with MYK-581 alleviated LVOT obstruction (0% vs. 38%), normalized contractility (FS: −7±2%), and increased systolic/diastolic chamber dimensions (e.g., LVIDd: +13±4%) (all P<0.05), while reducing EDP (15±2 to 13±2 mmHg, P<0.05), suggesting acute improvement in ventricular distensibility. Indeed, MYK-581 treatment reduced end-diastolic stiffness (Eed: 0.48±0.11 vs. 0.36±0. 10 mmHg/mL, P<0.05) and normalized trans-mitral motion patterns during filling.
Conclusions
Bred cats, homozygous for the A31P MYBPC3 variant, presented a cardiac phenotype that models multiple characteristics of the human oHCM phenotype including dynamic LVOT obstruction. Acute treatment with the mavacamten surrogate, MYK-581, not only alleviated hypercontractility and LVOT obstruction, but improved ventricular filling and end-diastolic pressures. Taken together, these pre-clinical observations show potential salutary effects beyond obstruction relief in patients with HCM.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine whether MRCP using a combination of compressed sensing and sensitivity encoding with navigator-triggered and breath-hold techniques (NT C-SENSE and BH C-SENSE, respectively) have comparable image quality to that of navigator-triggered MRCP using only sensitivity encoding (NT SENSE) at 1.5-T. METHODS Fifty-one participants were enrolled in this prospective study between July and October 2018 and underwent the three 3D MRCP sequences each. The acquisition time and relative duct-to-periductal contrast ratios (RC values) of each bile duct segment were obtained. Visualization of the bile and main pancreatic ducts, background suppression, artifacts, and overall image quality were scored on 5-point scales. Mean and median differences in RC values and qualitative scores of NT C-SENSE and BH C-SENSE relative to NT SENSE were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Acquisition time of NT SENSE, NT C-SENSE, and BH C-SENSE were 348, 143 (mean for both), and 18 s (for all participants), respectively. The RC value of each bile duct segment was inferior, but the lower limits of the 95% CIs of the mean differences were ≥ - 0.10, for both NT C-SENSE and BH C-SENSE. The visualization score of the intrahepatic duct in BH C-SENSE was inferior to that in NT SENSE (lower 95% CI limit, - 1.5). In both NT C-SENSE and BH C-SENSE, the 95% CIs of the median differences in the other qualitative scores were from - 1.0 to 0.0. CONCLUSION NT C-SENSE and BH C-SENSE have comparable image quality to NT SENSE at 1.5-T.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echocardiography is commonly used for assessing cardiac structure and function in various species including non-human primates. A few previous studies reported normal echocardiographic reference intervals of clinically healthy rhesus macaques under sedation. However, these studies were under-powered, and the techniques were not standardized. In addition, body weight, age, and sex matched reference intervals should be established as echocardiographic measurements are commonly influenced by these variables. The purpose of this study was to establish reference intervals for complete echocardiographic parameters based on a large cohort of clinically healthy rhesus macaques with wide ranges of weight and age distributions using allometric scaling. RESULTS A total of 823 rhesus macaques (ages 6 months to 31 years old; body weights 1.4 to 22.6 kg) were enrolled. Of these rhesus macaques, 421 were males and 402 were females. They were assessed with a complete echocardiographic examination including structural and functional evaluation under sedation with ketamine hydrochloride. The reference intervals of the key echocardiographic parameters were indexed to weight, age, and sex by calculating the coefficients of the allometric eq. Y = aMb. On correlation matrix, body weight, age, sex, and heart rate were significantly correlated with various echocardiographic parameters and some of the parameters were strongly correlated with body weight and age. Multiple regression analysis revealed that heart rate and body weight statistically significantly predicted several echocardiographic parameters. Valve regurgitation including tricuspid, aortic, pulmonic, and mitral regurgitations without other cardiac structural and functional abnormalities are common in clinically healthy rhesus macaques under ketamine sedation. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the reference intervals of echocardiographic parameters were established by performing complete echocardiographic examinations on a large number of clinical healthy rhesus macaques. In addition, allometric scaling was performed based on their weight, and further indexed to age and sex. These allometrically scaled reference intervals can be used to accurately evaluate echocardiographic data in rhesus macaques and diagnose structural and functional evidence of cardiac disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Neighborhood grocery stores, such as supermarkets (SM) and convenience stores (CVS), have received attention as a determinant of a food purchase behavior. Previous studies reported that grocery store entry or closure was associated with regional populations. This study examines the association of types of SM (i.e. cross-regional, local, or small chain stores), CVS, and household demographics in the cities, towns and villages (having its own incorporated government) in Hiroshima and Okayama Prefectures, Japan.
Methods
We hypothesized that the entry and closure of SM, CVS are associated with the regional population and type of family household from interview surveys with supermarket and wholesale operators. We collected data on SM and CVS from Large-Scale Retail Store Data in Japan, while data on demographics and households were collected from the census. Data sets from 59 municipalities (city, town, ward, and village) and 49 SM chains (498 stores) and 8 CVS chains (1235 stores) were analyzed using multiple regression analysis.
Results
Some household factors showed significant associations with the number of SM and CVS at the municipality level. Those municipalities with a greater number of extended families and single households had significantly more “cross-regional” as well as “local chain SM” stores. Those municipalities with more nuclear families had significantly more “small chain SM” and fewer “local chain SM” stores. Those municipalities with more single households had significantly fewer SM stores.
Conclusions
In these prefectures, population declining and single household increasing are expected over the coming decades. If no political interventions are allowed on this issue, some of “food desert” may emerge for the hundreds of thousands people living in these areas; elderly people may not get fresh vegetables in their neighborhood, and young parents will have to drive for hours to “cross-regional SM” to buy fresh milk for their children.
Key messages
Supermarkets and convenience stores are determinant of a food purchase behavior. The association of the number of types of SM, CVS, and demographic and household factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Assessment of heart size in kittens is important, and there is a need for reference intervals (RIs) to prevent misinterpretation of cardiomegaly in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to generate RIs for echocardiographic and radiographic quantification of cardiac size in healthy kittens. METHODS In total, 88 kittens aged 6-16 weeks were enrolled in this study. Physical examination, and radiographic and echocardiographic evaluations were performed without sedation. Thoracic radiographs and echocardiographic images were measured to establish RIs for vertebral heart score (VHS), cardiac thoracic ratio (CTR) and multiple echocardiographic variables. N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was measured. Statistical correlations between echocardiographic parameters and age, body weight and sex were all evaluated and RIs were generated. RESULTS Low-grade heart murmurs were appreciated in 26/88 kittens (29.5%). Kittens had a median VHS of 9.5 vertebrae (95% RI 8.0-10.9) and a median CTR of 67.2% (95% RI 54.4-79.8%). Measured NT-proBNP levels were comparable to healthy adult cats with a median of 31 pmol/l (upper reference limit 75 pmol/l). Multiple moderate-to-strong correlations between body weight and age with various echocardiographic parameters were observed and allometric scaling was performed for body weight. RIs for echocardiographic parameters were generated based on patient weight using allometric scaling formulas. Tricuspid valve regurgitation was a common finding and was present in 37.5% (n = 33) of the kittens. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study establishes RIs for thoracic radiograph assessment, echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers in kittens, which fills a critical gap in the veterinary literature. The VHS reported in this study is higher than previously reported for adult cats.

Abstract
Cardiac biomarkers are an important tool for diagnosing cardiac diseases in both human and veterinary patients. Serum concentrations of N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have been used to indicate the presence of various cardiac diseases including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in various species including humans. However, these cardiac biomarkers have not been established as a diagnostic tool for detecting cardiac disease in rhesus macaques. In the rhesus macaque colony at the California National Primate Research Center, naturally occurring HCM and various other cardiac diseases have been identified. In this study, commercially available assays were used to measure serum cTnI and NT-proBNP concentrations to evaluate their utility as a diagnostic screening tool for cardiac diseases in rhesus macaques. This study revealed that the serum cTnI concentration was significantly higher in animals with echocardiographically apparent cardiac disease as compared with the animals that had no cardiac structural and functional changes (the control group). However, no significant differences were detected between animals with HCM and non-HCM cardiac disease. Because the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.81 when the serum cTnI was compared between the control and cardiac disease groups, serum cTnI was considered a moderately accurate test to predict the presence of cardiac disease. The optimal cut-off value of serum cTnI concentration for diagnosis of cardiac disease was 0.0085 ng/mL, with a sensitivity of 0.68 and specificity of 0.94. Significant but weak correlations were noted between the serum cTnI concentration and several echocardiographic parameters. Conversely, no significant differences in NT-proBNP concentrations were detected between animals with and without cardiac diseases. In conclusion, measurement of serum cTnI can be used to aid in diagnosing cardiac diseases in rhesus macaques. However, cTnI measurement does not replace echocardiographic evaluation to diagnose cardiac diseases in rhesus macaques due to the poor sensitivity of the assay and the weak correlation to with more established echocardiographic markers for cardiac disease.

Abstract
Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutics for canine high-grade lymphoma. In addition to dose-dependent chronic cardiotoxicity, DOX can trigger acute cardiac arrhythmias during drug infusion. Diphenhydramine premedication is commonly used, as histamine release is a proposed mechanism for DOX-associated arrhythmogenesis. Hypothesis/Objectives: The study objectives were to evaluate the incidence and severity of DOX infusion-related cardiac arrhythmias in dogs with high-grade lymphoma and evaluate the effect of diphenhydramine premedication on arrhythmia frequency and severity during and after DOX infusion. Animals: Twenty-two client-owned dogs with cytologically/histopathologically confirmed high-grade lymphoma were recruited, of which 19 were enrolled and 9 completed the study. Methods: Dogs were screened by echocardiogram and concurrent electrocardiogram for this randomized prospective crossover study. Group A received no premedication for DOX #1 and was premedicated with diphenhydramine for DOX #2; Group B received diphenhydramine with DOX #1 and no premedication for DOX #2. For both visits, Holter monitor data were collected for 1 h pre-DOX and 3 h post-DOX administration. Results: Nineteen dogs were enrolled and 9 dogs [Group A (5), Group B (4)] completed the protocol. There was no statistical difference between the DOX alone and DOX + diphenhydramine when evaluating the total number of ventricular premature complexes (VPCs, P = 0.34), change in VPCs/hour (P = 0.25), total number of atrial premature complexes (APCs, P = 0.5), change in APCs/hour (P = 0.06), or ventricular arrhythmia severity score (P > 0.99). Conclusions and clinical importance: This study demonstrates that in these dogs with rigorous pretreatment cardiovascular screening, DOX infusion did not induce significant arrhythmias. Furthermore, these data suggest that, with this screening approach, diphenhydramine may not alter the arrhythmia number or severity in canine DOX recipients.
