Background. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is not a single disease but a clinical syndrome secondary to important comorbidities, is increasing in prevalence, and is associated with high functional impairment. This study aimed to compare the results of treating patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and type 2 diabetes mellitus with sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLT-2 inhibitors) or Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Methods. Observational trial in one medical center with assessments at baseline and 6 months. Participants were patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The primary endpoint was to measure the impact of treatment on weight loss, diastolic dysfunction, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. We performed anthropometric measurements, blood samples and transthoracic echocardiography for systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Results. After 6 months of intervention, both groups had a significant increase in results of Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, and the mean change in the group treated with GLP-1 Ras was 15.88 ± 7.7 points (95% confidence interval[CI], 19.7-12.7, p<0.01) while in the group treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors was 13.57 ± 7.96 points (95% confidence interval[CI], 16.22-10.91, p<0.01) so the quality of life was better. The weight loss was more important in the group with GLP-1 Ras with 5.8 ± 1.8 kg (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.7-7.0, p<0.01) while in the other group was 1.37 ± 1.4 kg (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54-2.21, p<0.01). Diastolic dysfunction was improved in monitoring E/E' lateral and was 3.28 ±1.27 less (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.75-3.80, p<0.01) in the GLP-1 Ras group and 2.93 ± 2.15 less (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.21-3.64, p<0.01) in the SGLT-2 inhibitors group. Conclusions. The present study establishes an improvement in symptoms, diastolic dysfunction, and weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and treatment with GLP-1 Ras or SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Policy Perspectives for Socially, Spatially, and Temporally Embedded and Dis-Embedded Agents
Authors: Schwardt Henning
Published: April 2024

Economies are complex systems. To enhance our understanding in analyses, we have to introduce simplifying assumptions to allow the construction of analytical frameworks. Under different assumptions, different analytical frameworks result. The vantage point that we choose for analyses can shape what we see, and how we see it. There is no singular nature of socio-economic reality, then. Insofar as economic analyses serve to inform policy makers, differences in analytical frameworks may be expected to lead to differences in policy frameworks developed from them. We discuss different areas in which decisions about the construction of analytical frameworks impact policy approaches. We focus in particular on conceptualizations of individual agents and their relation to and position in their social and economic environment, time, and space.  @font-face{font-family:"Cambria Math";panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;mso-font-charset:0;mso-generic-font-family:roman;mso-font-pitch:variable;mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face{font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;mso-font-charset:0;mso-generic-font-family:swiss;mso-font-pitch:variable;mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073732485 9 0 511 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal{mso-style-unhide:no;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}.MsoChpDefault{mso-style-type:export-only;mso-default-props:yes;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}div.WordSection1{page:WordSection1;}
ESTIMATES OF CONSTRUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE STOCK FOR CAPE VERDE: 1980–2019
Authors: Lopes Jorge , Tavares Admir
Published: April 2024

Building and other construction assets constitute a significant part of a country’s physical and economic infrastructure. According to several writers, the knowledge of reliable data of building and other construction assets of a specific country or region is a crucial element for the long-term management of these assets. Built capital stock statistics at the national or international levels have been available for most countries of the world, both developed and less developed ones, for some time, but construction infrastructure stock statistics at the disaggregated level are very scarce, even for most developed countries. Furthermore, the methodologies to produce the estimates of built capital stock, at the international level, do not consider countries’ specificities. This paper discusses the methodologic issues for producing construction infrastructure stock statistics for Cape Verde, and makes estimates for the period 1980–2019. The paper outlines the Perpetual Inventory Method (PIM) used to produce capital estimation, data employed, and the assumptions made to estimate missing data. The paper analyses the level of the construction infrastructure stock estimates for Cape Verde, as well as their impact on the development pattern of the country’s construction industry, and suggests how further studies can enhance our comprehension of the relationship between construction investment and economic growth and development.

We present two transit observations of the ∼870 K, 1.7 R
⊕ super-Earth TOI-836b with JWST NIRSpec/G395H, resulting in a 2.8–5.2 μm transmission spectrum. Using two different reduction pipelines, we obtain a median transit depth precision of 34 ppm for Visit 1 and 36 ppm for Visit 2, leading to a combined precision of 25 ppm in spectroscopic channels 30 pixels wide (∼0.02 μm). We find that the transmission spectrum from both visits is well fit by a zero-sloped line, by fitting zero-sloped and sloped lines as well as step functions to our data. Combining both visits, we are able to rule out atmospheres with metallicities <250 times solar for an opaque pressure level of 0.1 bar, corresponding to mean molecular weights of ≲6 g mol−1. We therefore conclude that TOI-836b does not have an H2-dominated atmosphere, in possible contrast with its larger, exterior sibling planet, TOI-836 c. We recommend that future proposals to observe small planets exercise caution when requiring specific numbers of transits to rule out physical scenarios, particularly for high metallicities and planets around bright host stars, as PandExo predictions appear to be more optimistic than what the gains from additional transits implied by our data suggest.

Authors: Burmester Gerd R. , Van den Bosch Filip , Tesser John , Shmagel Anna , Liu Yanxi , Khan Nasser , Camp Heidi S. , Kivitz Alan
Published: April 2024

Objective

To report 5-year efficacy and safety of upadacitinib (UPA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the phase III long-term extension (LTE) of SELECT-NEXT.

Methods

Patients on stable conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs were randomized to UPA 15 mg once daily (QD), UPA 30 mg QD, or placebo for 12 weeks. Following this, placebo-randomized patients were switched to UPA 15 mg QD or UPA 30 mg QD in the LTE; UPA-randomized patients continued their original dose. Blinding remained until dose switching from UPA 30 mg QD to UPA 15 mg QD because of approval of UPA 15 mg QD; the earliest switch occurred at week 168. Efficacy (as observed) and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are reported through 5 years.

Results

Overall, 611 (92%) randomized patients entered the LTE; 271 (44%) discontinued the study drug by 5 years, primarily because of adverse events (16%). Clinical outcomes improved or were maintained at 5 years; 51% and 43% of patients achieved Clinical Disease Activity Index remission and 75% and 66% achieved Disease Activity Score in 28 joints based on C-reactive protein < 2.6 among those initially randomized to UPA 15 mg QD and UPA 30 mg QD, respectively. Proportions of patients achieving ≥ 20%/50%/70% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria responses increased from week 60 through 5 years. Results were similar regardless of initial randomization to UPA or placebo. TEAEs, including TEAEs of special interest, were consistent with earlier analyses and other SELECT studies. Malignancies (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer), major adverse cardiovascular events, and venous thromboembolic events were reported infrequently. No new safety signals were observed.

Conclusion

The 5-year benefit-risk profile for UPA in RA remains favorable. (SELECT-NEXT; ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT02675426)

Published: April 2024

Objective

Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score based on C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) is recommended over ASDAS based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ASDAS-ESR) to assess disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Although ASDAS-CRP and ASDAS-ESR are not interchangeable, the same disease activity cut-offs are used for both. We aimed to estimate optimal ASDAS-ESR values corresponding to the established ASDAS-CRP cut-offs (1.3, 2.1, and 3.5) and investigate the potential improvement of level of agreement between ASDAS-ESR and ASDAS-CRP disease activity states when applying these estimated cut-offs.

Methods

We used data from patients with axSpA from 9 European registries initiating a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor. ASDAS-ESR cut-offs were estimated using the Youden index. The level of agreement between ASDAS-ESR and ASDAS-CRP disease activity states was compared against each other.

Results

In 3664 patients, mean ASDAS-CRP was higher than ASDAS-ESR at both baseline (3.6 and 3.4, respectively) and aggregated follow-up at 6, 12, or 24 months (1.9 and 1.8, respectively). The estimated ASDAS-ESR values corresponding to the established ASDAS-CRP cut-offs were 1.4, 1.9, and 3.3. By applying these cut-offs, the proportion of discordance between disease activity states according to ASDAS-ESR and ASDAS-CRP decreased from 22.93% to 19.81% in baseline data but increased from 27.17% to 28.94% in follow-up data.

Conclusion

We estimated the optimal ASDAS-ESR values corresponding to the established ASDAS-CRP cut-off values. However, applying the estimated cut-offs did not increase the level of agreement between ASDAS-ESR and ASDAS-CRP disease activity states to a relevant degree. Our findings did not provide evidence to reject the established cut-off values for ASDAS-ESR.

Global co-dynamics of viral infections with saturated incidence
Authors: Elaiw Ahmed M. , Alsaadi Ghadeer S. , Hobiny Aatef D.
Published: April 2024

Several mathematical models of two competing viruses (or viral strains) that have been published in the literature assume that the infection rate is determined by bilinear incidence. These models do not show co-existence equilibrium; moreover, they might not be applicable in situations where the virus concentration is high. In this paper, we developed a mathematical model for the co-dynamics of two competing viruses with saturated incidence. The model included the latently infected cells and three types of time delays: discrete (or distributed): (ⅰ) The formation time of latently infected cells; (ⅱ) The activation time of latently infected cells; (ⅲ) The maturation time of newly released virions. We established the mathematical well-posedness and biological acceptability of the model by examining the boundedness and nonnegativity of the solutions. Four equilibrium points were identified, and their stability was examined. Through the application of Lyapunov's approach and LaSalle's invariance principle, we demonstrated the global stability of equilibria. The impact of saturation incidence, latently infected cells, and time delay on the viral co-dynamics was examined. We demonstrated that the saturation could result in persistent viral coinfections. We established conditions under which these types of viruses could coexist. The coexistence conditions were formulated in terms of saturation constants. These findings offered new perspectives on the circumstances under which coexisting viruses (or strains) could live in stable viral populations. It was shown that adding the class of latently infected cells and time delay to the coinfection model reduced the basic reproduction number for each virus type. Therefore, fewer treatment efficacies would be needed to keep the system at the infection-free equilibrium and remove the viral coinfection from the body when utilizing a model with latently infected cells and time delay. To demonstrate the associated mathematical outcomes, numerical simulations were conducted for the model with discrete delays.

Bio-Inspired Design in Healthcare
Authors: Thopate Kaushalya , Jaiswal Krishna Nilesh
Published: April 2024

Healthcare innovation thrives on bio-inspired design, drawing from nature's ingenuity to address complex human challenges. This case study explores a groundbreaking healthcare innovation – a surgical adhesive inspired by geckos. Geckos, renowned for their ability to cling to various substrates and vertical surfaces, inspire this adhesive. Bio-inspired decision-making offers potential solutions for persistent issues and enhanced patient care. Geckos' adhesive capability derives from the hierarchical structure of their toe pads, featuring millions of hair-like structures called setae. These setae interact with surfaces through spatulae, creating nanoscale topography and harnessing Van der Waals forces for strong adhesion. The gecko's ability to actively control adhesion has spurred biomimetic innovation. In healthcare, where surgical adhesives play a critical role, traditional solutions often suffer from biocompatibility issues, weak bonding, and limited adaptability.

Published: April 2024

This study assesses the influence of industrialization and energy consumption on the environmental sustainability for seven Asian emerging economies over the period 1990–2022 by using Panel ARDL estimation technique. Results show that industrialization adversely impacts environmental sustainability in the long run by discharging CO2, while energy consumption has a favourable environmental impact. In the short run, both factors have demonstrated overall as well as country specific adverse effects. Further, Dumitrescu Hurlin Panel causality results reported uni directional causal relationship moving from industrialization and energy consumption to carbon dioxide discharges. These results indicates that efforts of Asian emerging economies towards environmental sustainability are not sufficient. This study recommends policymakers consider different sustainability frameworks, increase awareness regarding adoption of environmental positive activities, and allocate more funding for environmental protection and technological innovation.
