Abstract
Background: Although dysarthria and respiratory failure are widely described in literature as part of the natural history of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the specific interaction between them has been little explored.Aim: To investigate the relationship between chronic respiratory failure and the speech of ALS patients.Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional retrospective study we reviewed the medical records of all patients diagnosed with ALS that were accompanied by a tertiary referral center. In order to determine the presence and degree of speech impairment, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-revised (ALSFRS-R) speech sub-scale was used. Respiratory function was assessed through spirometry and through venous blood gasometry obtained from a morning peripheral venous sample. To determine whether differences among groups classified by speech function were significant, maximum and mean spirometry values of participants were compared using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with Tukey's post hoc test.Results: Seventy-five cases were selected, of which 73.3% presented speech impairment and 70.7% respiratory impairment. Respiratory and speech functions were moderately correlated (seated FVC r = 0.64; supine FVC r = 0.60; seated FEV1 r = 0.59 and supine FEV1 r = 0.54, p < .001). Multivariable logistic regression revealed that the following variables were significantly associated with the presence of speech impairment after adjusting for other risk factors: seated FVC (odds ratio [OR] = 0.862) and seated FEV1 (OR = 1.106). The final model was 81.1% predictive of speech impairment. The presence of daytime hypercapnia was not correlated to increasing speech impairment.Conclusion: The restrictive pattern developed by ALS patients negatively influences speech function. Speech is a complex and multifactorial process, and lung volume presents a pivotal role in its function. Thus, we were able to find that lung volumes presented a significant correlation to speech function, especially in those with bulbar onset and respiratory impairment. Neurobiological and physiological aspects of this relationship should be explored in further studies with the ALS population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A significant number of patients with COVID-19 may experience dyspnoea, anxiety, depression, pain, fatigue and physical impairment symptoms, raising the need for a multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach, especially for those with advanced age, obesity, comorbidities and organ failure. Traditional pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), including exercise training, psychosocial counselling and education, has been employed to improve pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with COVID-19. However, the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in PR programmes remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether the addition of a supervised IMT in a PR is more effective than PR itself in improving dyspnoea, health-related quality of life and exercise capacity in symptomatic patients with post-COVID-19. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This parallel-group, assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial, powered for superiority, aimed to assess exercise capacity as the primary outcome. A total of 138 are being recruited at two PR centres in Brazil. Following baseline testing, participants will be randomised using concealed allocation, to receive either (1) standard PR with sham IMT or (2) standard PR added to IMT. Treatment effects or differences between the outcomes (at baseline, after 8 and 16 weeks, and after 6 months) of the study groups will be analysed using an ordinary two-way analysis of variance. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial was approved by the Brazilian National Ethics Committee and obtained approval on 7 October 2020 (document number 4324069). The findings will be disseminated through publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04595097.

Abstract
There is a lack of studies about polymorphisms in FADS genes in pregnant women. We aimed to verify the interaction between three FADS gene polymorphisms (rs174561; rs174575; rs3834458) and dietary α-linolenic acid (ALA) or linoleic/α-linolenic acid ratio (LA/ALA) and plasma concentrations of omega-3 (n-3) PUFAs in pregnant women. Of the 250 women evaluated, the homozygous for the rs174561 and rs3834458 minor allele had high plasma ALA concentrations at the highest ALA and LA/ALA ratio tertile (p < 0.05). Plasma concentrations of EPA and DHA were not influenced by diet. For the rs174575 SNP, pregnant women who carried the minor allele presented lower proportions of plasma EPA in the second LA/ALA ratio tertile (p < 0.05). Increased dietary intake of ALA and LA/ALA ratio promoted plasma ALA accumulation in homozygotes for the minor allele rs174561 and rs3834458. Moderate intake of LA/ALA ratio may reduce plasma concentration of EPA in pregnants carrying the rs174575 minor allele.

Abstract
Drugs that inhibit estrogen receptor-α (ER) activity have been highly successful in treating and reducing breast cancer progression in ER-positive disease. However, resistance to these therapies presents a major clinical problem. Recent genetic studies have shown that mutations in the ER gene are found in >20% of tumours that progress on endocrine therapies. Remarkably, the great majority of these mutations localize to just a few amino acids within or near the critical helix 12 region of the ER hormone binding domain, where they are likely to be single allele mutations. Understanding how these mutations impact on ER function is a prerequisite for identifying methods to treat breast cancer patients featuring such mutations. Towards this end, we used CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to make a single allele knock-in of the most commonly mutated amino acid residue, tyrosine 537, in the estrogen-responsive MCF7 breast cancer cell line. Genomic analyses using RNA-seq and ER ChIP-seq demonstrated that the Y537S mutation promotes constitutive ER activity globally, resulting in estrogen-independent growth. MCF7-Y537S cells were resistant to the anti-estrogen tamoxifen and fulvestrant. Further, we show that the basal transcription factor TFIIH is constitutively recruited by ER-Y537S, resulting in ligand-independent phosphorylation of Serine 118 (Ser118) by the TFIIH kinase, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)7. The CDK7 inhibitor, THZ1 prevented Ser118 phosphorylation and inhibited growth of MCF7-Y537S cells. These studies confirm the functional importance of ER mutations in endocrine resistance, demonstrate the utility of knock-in mutational models for investigating alternative therapeutic approaches and highlight CDK7 inhibition as a potential therapy for endocrine-resistant breast cancer mediated by ER mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a sex-linked genetic disorder in which progressive impairment of skeletal muscle function eventually leads to severe respiratory failure requiring continuous noninvasive ventilation (NIV) at home. A current focus of debate is whether NIV may slow the decline in respiratory function or, on the contrary, worsen respiratory function when started early. Our objective here was to describe the effects of NIV on vital capacity (VC) and maximum respiratory pressures in DMD. METHODS We analyzed retrospective data from 71 subjects with DMD, including VC, maximum static respiratory pressures, and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure before and after NIV initiation. The declines in these variables from the highest value to the most recent value were computed. RESULTS Although respiratory function continued to deteriorate over time, NIV introduction was followed by significant slowing in the annual rates of decline in VC (from 4.28 to 1.36 percent predicted), maximum inspiratory pressure (from 2.77 to 1.48 cm H2O), and maximum expiratory pressure (from 2.00 to 1.00 cm H2O). NIV had no effect on sniff nasal inspiratory pressure. CONCLUSIONS Introducing NIV in subjects with DMD was followed by slowing of the declines in VC and in maximum static inspiratory and expiratory pressures.

Abstract
This study evaluated compliance with non-invasive ventilation in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and identified predictors of cessation at 5 years in a cohort of patients followed in a specialist center for Neuromuscular Diseases in France. Mechanical ventilation in these patients poses a very strong challenge to caregivers. Factors predicting relative compliance were identified using multivariate linear regressions. Cox proportional-hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios associated with risk of cessation. One hundred and twenty-eight patients were included. Compliance during the first year was higher when symptoms of respiratory failure were initially present (+25%, p < 0.003) and lower in the case of acute respiratory failure (-29%, p < 0.003). Long-term compliance was associated with symptoms of respiratory failure (+52%, p < 0.0001) and nocturnal arterial oxygen desaturation (+23%, p < 0.007). Cessation was more frequent in the cases of excessive leaks (HR = 7.81, IC [1.47-41.88], p < 0.01), ventilator dysfunction requiring emergency technical intervention (HR = 12.58, IC [1.22-129.69], p < 0.03) or high body mass index (p < 0.02). Cessation was less frequent for patients with a professional occupation or undergoing professional training (HR = 0.11, IC [0.02-0.77], p < 0.02). Compliance with non-invasive ventilation is poor in patients with no subjective symptoms of respiratory failure. It may be improved with appropriate education and follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with DMD undergo tracheostomy. Tracheostomy is associated with certain complications, however its effect on prognosis is not known. METHODS The relationship between type of mechanical ventilation and survival at 12 years was evaluated in a prospective cohort of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy followed in a French reference center for Neuromuscular Diseases. Cox proportional-hazards regressions were used to estimate the hazard ratios associated with risk of switching from non-invasive to invasive ventilation, and with risk of death. RESULTS One hundred and fifty patients were included. Initial use of invasive ventilation was associated with an episode of acute respiratory failure (p < 0.0001) and with a severe clinical status (p < 0.05). Risk of death was associated with swallowing disorders (2.51, IC [1.12-5.66], p < 0.03) and cardiac failure (p < 0.05) but not with type of mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSION Switching to invasive ventilation is appropriate when non-invasive ventilation is ineffective.

Abstract
Over the past decade, there have been an increasing number of studies on the association between vitamin D deficiency and anthropometric state. However, we did not identify any meta-analyses of the relationship between obesity and vitamin D deficiency in different age groups. Thus, we evaluated the association between obesity and vitamin D deficiency. We searched for observational studies published up to April 2014 in PubMed/Medline, Web of Science and Scopus databases. We performed a meta-analysis in accordance with the random-effects model to obtain the summary measurement (prevalence ratio, PR). Among the 29,882 articles identified, 23 met the inclusion criteria. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 35% higher in obese subjects compared to the eutrophic group (PR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.21-1.50) and 24% higher than in the overweight group (PR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.14-1.34). These results indicate that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was more elevated in obese subjects. The vitamin D deficiency was associated with obesity irrespective of age, latitude, cut-offs to define vitamin D deficiency and the Human Development Index of the study location.

Abstract
AIMS Epidemiological findings demonstrated that increased plasma cholesterol levels are frequently observed in depressive patients. In this regard, there is enhancing evidence that hypercholesterolemia is associated with impairment of brain function. Recently, we demonstrated that low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDLr(-/-)) mice- a widely used rodent model of familial hypercholesterolemia - exhibited memory deficits and cortico-cerebral mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to assess the hypercholesterolemic mice in predictive tasks for depressive-like behavior. METHODS Adult wild type C57BL/6 and LDLr (-/-) mice were evaluated in two tests for depressive like behavior, the splash test and forced swimming test. In addition, the activity of monoamine oxidase isoforms and the mRNA levels of hemeoxygenase-1 were assessed in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of C57BL/6 and LDLr (-/-) mice. Finally, the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) permeability was investigated using the AQP-4 immunofluorescence staining in the mice hippocampus. RESULTS The LDLr (-/-) mice showed a significant reduction in the grooming time in the splash test and increased immobility time in the forced swimming test, and both parameters were reversed by fluoxetine antidepressant treatment (10mg/kg, 7 days, o.g.). Interestingly, the depressive like behavior of LDLr (-/-) mice was associated with increased activity of monoamine oxidase A, decreased hemeoxygenase-1 mRNA levels and increase of BBB permeability in the hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these data provide new evidence that hypercholesterolemia could trigger brain alterations involved in depressive disorders.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbid-mortality world wide, leading not only to pulmonary damage but also to multisystemic impairment, with repercussions on skeletal muscles and the ability to undertake effort, as measured in the six-minute walk test (6-MWT). AIMS To correlate the level of obstruction in COPD with lactate concentration and heart rate (HR) at rest, and distance walked. To correlate distance walked with blood gas analysis and correlate desaturation in 6-MWT with post 6-MWT lactate concentration and heart rate. METHODS COPD patients underwent spirometry, blood gas analysis and 6-MWT to evaluate distance walked, heart rate, capillary lactate (CL) concentration pre- and post 6-MWT, and desaturation with 6-MWT. RESULTS 91 patients with all levels of obstruction were evaluated. HR and CL increased significantly post 6-MWT. The decrease in peripheral saturation of haemoglobin to oxygen observed with 6-MWT was also significant. The distance walked was shorter the greater the obstruction. The correlation analysis was significantly positive between FEV1 and distance walked, negative between FEV(1) and HR at rest and negative between distance walked and PaCO(2), and not significant for the other variables. CONCLUSIONS Increased obstruction in COPD and higher PaCO(2) values contribute to a reduction in distance walked in 6-MWT. The level of obstruction in COPD leads to a haemodynamic impairment with increased HR at rest of these patients.
