Abstract
BACKGROUND The Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire 7 (ETDQ-7) serves as a valuable tool for assessing eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). We investigated the impact of septal deviation side on ETD using preoperative ETDQ-7 scores and evaluated the effectiveness of septoplasty based on postoperative ETDQ-7 scores. METHODOLOGY We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with septal deviation who were scheduled for septoplasty. ETDQ-7 surveys were conducted preoperative and 1 and 3 months postoperative. RESULTS 120 patients were included, with 72 completing the ETDQ-7 at all three time points. The average prevalence of ETD was 29.2%. Preoperative ETDQ-7 scores showed no significant difference between convex and concave nasal sides. However, the prevalence of ETD was significantly higher on the convex side (28.3% vs. 15.8%), especially in unilateral ETD cases. Preoperatively, the positive ETD group had significantly higher ETDQ-7 scores on the convex side while no significant difference was found between concave and convex sides in the negative ETD group. Postoperatively, the positive ETD group showed significant improvement in ETDQ-7 scores with significantly higher on the convex side (66.7% vs. 33.3%). ETDQ-7 scores improved after septoplasty, with more improvement in the positive ETD group. CONCLUSIONS Septoplasty significantly improves ETD, particularly in the preoperative positive ETD group, by reducing ETDQ-7 scores. The prevalence of ETD was higher on the convex side preoperatively, and the positive ETD group exhibited significant postoperative improvements, especially on the convex side. This suggests that the direction of septal deviation influences ETD prevalence and surgery outcomes, although septoplasty alleviates ETD on both sides.

Abstract
BackgroundRadiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) has increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Other cardiac manifestations such as conduction disturbance and valvular diseases were also suggested as co-morbidities in r-axSpA patients, however, the risk of these cardiac manifestation in r-axSpA were seldomly evaluated in large cohort.ObjectivesTo compare the incidences of aortic regurgitation, atrial fibrillation (AF), and atrioventricular (AV) block II–III between r-axSpA patients and the general population (GP).MethodsNational Health Insurance Services data were used. R-axSpA patients (N = 8,877) and the age- and sex-matched GP (N = 26,631) were followed from August, 2006 to December, 2019. Incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) of aortic regurgitation, AF, and AV block II–III were compared between these groups. Ten year incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis.ResultsIncidence rates of aortic regurgitation, AV block II–III, and AF in the r-axSpA group were 0.42, 0.21, and 4.0 per 1000 person-years, respectively. In the r-axSpA group, the SIR for aortic regurgitation was highest among 40–49-year-old men (4.11). Incidence rates of aortic regurgitation and AF were higher in the r-axSpA group than in the GP group (both p < 0.001), whereas the difference was insignificant for AV block II–III. In multivariate analysis, HRs for aortic regurgitation and AF were higher in the r-axSpA group than in the GP group (HR (95% confidence interval) = 2.55 (1.49–4.37) and 1.20 (1.04–1.39), respectively), but the difference was insignificant for AV block II–III.ConclusionCompared with the GP, r-axSpA patients are at increased risk of aortic regurgitation and AF, but not AV block II–III. These patients should be carefully monitored for occurrence of aortic regurgitation and AF.References[1]Agca R, Heslinga SC, Rollefstad S, et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No well validated and contemporaneous tools for personalized prognostication of gastric adenocarcinoma exist. This study aimed to derive and validate a prognostic model for overall survival after surgery for gastric adenocarcinoma using a large national dataset. METHODS National audit data from England and Wales were used to identify patients who underwent a potentially curative gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma of the stomach. A total of 2931 patients were included and 29 clinical and pathological variables were considered for their impact on survival. A non-linear random survival forest methodology was then trained and validated internally using bootstrapping with calibration and discrimination (time-dependent area under the receiver operator curve (tAUC)) assessed. RESULTS The median survival of the cohort was 69 months, with a 5-year survival of 53.2 per cent. Ten variables were found to influence survival significantly and were included in the final model, with the most important being lymph node positivity, pT stage and achieving an R0 resection. Patient characteristics including ASA grade and age were also influential. On validation the model achieved excellent performance with a 5-year tAUC of 0.80 (95 per cent c.i. 0.78 to 0.82) and good agreement between observed and predicted survival probabilities. A wide spread of predictions for 3-year (14.8-98.3 (i.q.r. 43.2-84.4) per cent) and 5-year (9.4-96.1 (i.q.r. 31.7-73.8) per cent) survival were seen. CONCLUSIONS A prognostic model for survival after a potentially curative resection for gastric adenocarcinoma was derived and exhibited excellent discrimination and calibration of predictions.

Abstract
Background Heart disease is the leading non-obstetric cause of maternal death during pregnancy. In this field, the emergence of pandemic COVID-19 has caused the worst-case scenario considering that pregnant women are more susceptible to viral infections, and preexisting cardiac disease is the most prevalent co-morbidity among COVID-19 deaths. Purpose To assess the maternal and fetal outcomes of COVID-19 during pregnancy of women with heart diseases. Methods During the year 2020, among 82 pregnant women with heart disease followed consecutively at the Instituto do Coração-InCor, seven of them with an average age of 33.2 years had COVID-19 during their pregnancies. The underlying heart diseases were rheumatic valve disease (5 pt), congenital heart disease (1 pt) and one case with acute myocarditis, without preexisting cardiopathy. The prescription (antibiotics, inotropes, corticosteroids and others) used was according to the clinical conditions required for each patient, however subcutaneous or intravenous heparin was used in all patients. Results Only one case had an uneventful maternal-fetal course, the other six women required hospitalization / ICU for an average of 25.3 days, including the need for mechanical ventilation in two of them. Serious complications were related to respiratory failure (ADRS), recurrent atrial flutter with hemodynamic instability, acute pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock associated with sepsis which caused two maternal deaths. There were two emergency mitral valve interventional, percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty and valve bioprosthesis replacement, respectively. There were five premature births with an average gestational age of 34.2 weeks of gestation, which resulted in one stillbirth. Pathological findings of three placental and the six-months follow-up of the babies did not confirm vertical transmission of COVID-19. Conclusions The uncertain evolution given of the overlapping complications of three conditions – COVID-19, pregnancy, and heart disease – implies an increased risk for women with heart diseases of childbearing age, for whom pregnancy should be discouraged and planned after vaccination FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research investigating the efficacy of workplace wellness programmes to promote exercise, and by extension, reduce obesity and increase productivity has proliferated in recent years. Although preliminary work is encouraging, more work is needed. AIMS To evaluate the effects and overall cost of a workplace exercise programme on multiple physical outcomes, including body mass index, aerobic fitness and muscular fitness. METHODS Data from the Bruin Health Improvement Programme .5 (BHIP) between August 2013 and July 2018 were analysed. BHIP is a 12-week workplace wellness programme that assesses multiple areas of physical and mental health. For this study, changes in weight, waist-to-hip ratio, aerobic fitness and muscular endurance were analysed using paired samples t-tests and chi-squared tests. Using results from a prior analysis of Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, the estimated medical expenditure savings associated with weight loss were also analysed. RESULTS A total of 518 participants (84% female) took part in the BHIP programme (mean age = 41 years, SD = 1.17). There were significant decreases in all anthropometric indices and significant increases in all fitness outcomes (P < 0.01) from baseline to follow-up. Estimated programme cost per participant, per session was $473 US Dollars (USD), and weight loss is estimated to reduce annual medical care costs by ~$2200 USD. CONCLUSIONS Results showed significant improvements in all physical outcomes of interest. Additionally, there appears to be an inverse relationship between improvements in employee health and employer healthcare costs. Strengths, limitations and future directions are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association of perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale with amyloid accumulation among patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment is unknown. We evaluated this association in patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment and β-amyloid deposition, assessed with [18F] florbetaben PET/CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR imaging and [18F] florbetaben PET/CT images of 144 patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment were retrospectively evaluated. MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces were rated on a 4-point visual scale: a score of ≥3 or <3 indicated a high or low degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces, respectively. Amyloid deposition was evaluated using the brain β-amyloid plaque load scoring system. RESULTS Compared with patients negative for β-amyloid, those positive for it were older and more likely to have lower cognitive function, a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease, white matter hyperintensity, the Apolipoprotein E ε4 allele, and a high degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale. Multivariable analysis, adjusted for age and Apolipoprotein E status, revealed that a high degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale was independently associated with β-amyloid positivity (odds ratio, 2.307; 95% CI, 1.036-5.136; P = .041). CONCLUSIONS A high degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale independently predicted β-amyloid positivity in patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment. Thus, MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale are associated with amyloid pathology of the brain and could be an indirect imaging marker of amyloid burden in patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment.
