SAT-186 Metastatic Paraganglioma Secondary to SDHB Gene Mutation: A Case Report and Review of New Therapies
Authors: Tetlay Maryam , Hasan Farhad 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Background: Paragangliomas (PGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from the extra-adrenal autonomic paraganglia, majority of which are benign. 0-36% of PGL patients can develop metastatic disease, depending on the genetic mutation. We present a case of a patient with metastatic PGL due to an SDHB gene mutation. We then summarize published and ongoing trials of therapies for metastatic pheochromocytoma/PGL.
Clinical Case: A 54 years old male presented to the Emergency Department with severe left lower quadrant pain. He additionally reported recent episodes of headaches and uncontrolled hypertension, as well as an approximate weight loss of 50 pounds in the preceding two years.
A CT abdomen and pelvis demonstrated an 8 cm left peri-aortic retroperitoneal mass, along with a 2 cm solitary hepatic lesion concerning for metastatic disease. Normetanephrine levels were elevated at 1210 pg/mL (normal 0-145 pg/mL). Endoscope-guided biopsy of the retroperitoneal mass demonstrated findings consistent with a PGL.
The patient was referred to a genetic counsellor where he underwent PGLNext testing. He tested positive for a c.418G&gt;T mutation in the SDHB gene, consistent with a diagnosis of hereditary paraganglioma - pheochromocytoma (PGL-Pheo) syndrome.
Patient was planned for surgical debulking of his PGL, and was treated pre-operatively with Phenoxybenzamine, followed by B-blockers. He underwent resection of the retroperitoneal mass and wedge resection of the hepatic mass. Surgical pathology revealed a 10.5 cm extra adrenal PGL and a 2 cm metastatic PGL involving the liver with negative margins of resection.
Patient did well in the post-operative period, and was discharged with plans to repeat plasma metanephrines in 6-8 weeks. The patient was referred to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for enrollment in a clinical trial using Lu-177-DOTATATE.
Conclusion: Though rare, pheochromocytomas (pheo) and PGL can be lethal if not diagnosed and managed appropriately. As of 2019, at least 19 genes have been identified that predispose to familial pheochromocytoma/PGL. Importantly, PGL that are associated with SDHB, the mutation our patient had, are more likely to appear in the abdomen (rather than the head and neck), are usually secretory (most commonly norepinephrine) and are more likely to become metastatic (21-79%).
Patients with metastatic pheo/PGL require complex care in specialized centers by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. Patients with advanced or non-resectable metastatic pheo/PGL should preferably be offered a referral to NCI or an NCI designated cancer center for enrollment in a clinical trial of targeted therapies.
The Visual Economy of “Precious Books”
Authors: Maasri Zeina 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Shedding light on the postcolonial Arabic book, this article expands the literary and art historical fields of inquiry by bringing into play the translocal design and visual economy of modern art books. It is focused on the short-lived Silsilat al-Nafa'is (Precious Books series, 1967–70), published in Beirut by Dar an-Nahar and edited by modernist poet Yusuf al-Khal (1917–87). The series engaged prominent Arab artists and foregrounded the aesthetic dimension of the printed Arabic book as a “precious” art object. Situated historically at the threshold of contemporary globalization, this publishing endeavor formed a node connecting transnational modernist art and literary circuits with book publishing and was thus paradigmatic of new forms of visuality of the Arabic book. This materiality was enabled by a network of changes in the visual arts, printing technologies, and the political economy of transnational Arabic publishing in late 1960s Beirut. Relations between these three fields are analyzed through a multifaceted lens, focusing on the book as at once a product of intellectual and artistic practice, a commodity in a capitalist economy of publishing, and a translocal artifact of visual and print culture.
The Politics of What Is Islam?
Authors: Idris Murad 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
This essay analyzes the role of politics and power in Shahab Ahmed's What Is Islam? It is framed around three questions: (1) What kind of question is “What is Islam?”—or rather, for whom is this a question, and from which spaces and out of which times does it arise? (2) Who is the Muslim subject foregrounded in this book, and what are this Muslim's political and theological commitments? (3) What relations of power are embedded in the elevation of the “Balkans-to-Bengal complex” as the normative temporal-geographic entity?
Supervisory Incentives in a Banking Union

Published: May 2020

We study the consequences for supervisors’ and banks’ behavior of a “hub-and-spokes” supervisory system where a centralized agency has authority over banks but relies on local supervisors to collect actionable information. The model entails a principal-agent problem between central and local supervisors that leads to tougher supervisory standards but less compliance on the side of the supervised banks. Centralization entails greater inspection effort by the local supervisor and less bank risk taking if the divergence in the intervention policy of the central and the local supervisors is sufficiently small, but less effort and riskier bank portfolios if the divergence is large. The model has implications for the design of supervisory frameworks within integrated economies. This paper was accepted by Karl Diether, finance.

As single-photon imaging becomes progressively more commonplace in sensing applications such as low-light-level imaging, three-dimensional profiling, and fluorescence imaging, there exist a number of fields where multispectral information can also be exploited, e.g., in environmental monitoring and target identification. We have fabricated a high-transmittance mosaic filter array, where each optical filter was composed of a plasmonic metasurface fabricated in a single lithographic step. This plasmonic metasurface design utilized an array of elliptical and circular nanoholes, which produced enhanced optical coupling between multiple plasmonic interactions. The resulting metasurfaces produced narrow bandpass filters for blue, green, and red light with peak transmission efficiencies of 79%, 75%, and 68%, respectively. After the three metasurface filter designs were arranged in a

format random mosaic pattern, this mosaic filter was directly integrated onto a CMOS single-photon avalanche diode detector array. Color images were then reconstructed at light levels as low as approximately 5 photons per pixel, on average, via the simultaneous acquisition of low-photon multispectral data using both three-color active laser illumination and a broadband white-light illumination source.

Abstract
Akehi, K, Palmer, TB, Conchola, EC, Thompson, BJ, Kasl, A, Bice, M, and Unruh, S. Changes in knee extension and flexion maximal and rapid torque characteristics during a collegiate women's soccer season. J Strength Cond Res 36(5): 1389–1395, 2022—The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in maximal and rapid torque capacities of the knee extensor and flexor muscles over the course of a competitive season in NCAA Division II women's soccer players. Eighteen female soccer athletes performed 2 maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs) of the knee extensor and flexor muscles before, during, and at the end of the competitive season. Peak torque (PT) and rate of torque development (RTD) at 50 (RTD50), 200 (RTD200), and 100–200 (RTD100-200) milliseconds were extracted from each MVIC for both legs. The rapid (RTD50) to maximal force ratio (RTD:PT), hamstring-to-quadriceps (H:Q) strength ratio, and bilateral strength differences were also calculated. Results indicated that PT, RTD50, and RTD200 decreased 11–21% from the preseason to the midseason for the knee extensors (p < 0.02) and RTD50 increased approximately 11% from the midseason to the end of season for the knee flexors (p < 0.01). Rate of torque development-to-PT ratios for the knee extensors and flexors increased 12–25% at the end of the season (p < 0.05). Also, H:Q strength ratios using PT, RTD50, and RTD200 increased 12.5–24% after the season started (p = 0.001–0.04). There were no bilateral strength differences (dominant vs. non-dominant limbs) across the season (p > 0.05). These findings suggest that participation in a soccer season can change maximal and rapid torque production of the knee extensors and flexors. Coaches and clinicians should consider incorporating a season-long strength training and maintenance plan for soccer players with the aim to improve athletic performance and minimize the risk of musculoskeletal injuries to the lower extremities.

Abstract
Raya-González, J, García-Esteban, S, Hume, P, and Castillo, D. Effects of gluteal muscles strengthening on lower-limb injuries in male professional handball players: a preliminary study. J Strength Cond Res 35(6): 1593–1598, 2021—This study aimed to analyze the effects of a strength training injury-prevention program (STIPP) on injuries associated with weakness of the gluteal muscles in professional handball players. Twenty-seven professional Spanish male handball players from the same club, who competed at the Spanish Second National League level, participated in this study. The investigation was conducted over 2 consecutive seasons (2017–2018 and 2018–2019). The first season served as the control season (n = 21), and the second season served as the experimental season (n = 20). The STIPP was conducted 2 times per week, for 32 weeks, during the in-season period. There were no significant improvements in the injury incidence, pattern, or type for the experimental season group compared with the control season group (injury rate ratio [IRR] = 1.47; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.84–2.58; p = 0.17). However, there was a meaningful reduction in the number and burden of lumbar injuries after the STIPP (IRR = 55.83; 95% CI: 0.11–89.01; p = 0.001). In addition, burden values (number of absence days/1000 hours exposure) in all injury pathologies were lower during the experimental season compared with the control season. The STIPP focused on the gluteal muscles could be effective in reducing the number and burden of lumbar injuries in professional handball players.

Abstract
Nakagata, T, Yamada, Y, and Naito, H. Estimating energy cost of body weight resistance exercise using a multistage exercise test. J Strength Cond Res 36(5): 1290–1296, 2022—The purpose of this study was to examine energy cost of body weight resistance exercises with slow movement in young men using a multistage exercise test. Fifteen men aged 21–29 years performed 3 exercises (heel-raise, squat, and push-up) at different frequencies (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 repetitions·min−1). Oxygen consumption was measured using indirect calorimetry; we then computed a simple linear regression between aerobic energy expenditure (EE) and repetition frequency. The slope coefficient in the regression represents the energy cost of those exercises; we compared the extrapolated EE for a frequency of 10 repetitions·min−1. Gross EE increased linearly with repetition frequency in all subjects (y = ax + b). Energy cost was significantly greater in the case of the push-up than in the case of the squat {squat: 0.50 ± 0.14 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.42–0.58); push-up: 0.77 ± 0.20 kcal (95% CI, 0.66–0.88); and the heel-raise elicited the lowest energy cost: 0.13 ± 0.04 kcal (95% CI, 0.11–0.15)}. Extrapolated EE at 10 repetitions·min−1 was 2.7 ± 0.5 kcal (2.3 metabolic equivalents [METs]), 6.3 ± 1.4 kcal (5.4 METs), and 9.2 ± 2.1 kcal (7.8 METs), respectively, according to the regression based on aerobic EE. These results will be useful for health professionals in prescribing resistance exercise programs improving muscle fitness and considering for weight management.

Abstract
López-Pérez, ME, Romero-Arenas, S, Colomer-Poveda, D, Keller, M, and Márquez, G. Psychophysiological responses during a cycling test to exhaustion while wearing the elevation training mask. J Strength Cond Res 36(5): 1282–1289, 2022—The aim of this study was to investigate the psychophysiological effects of wearing the elevation training mask (ETM). Twelve men performed time-to-exhaustion (TTE) tests at 75% of peak power output with and without wearing the ETM. Heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), breathing discomfort (BD), and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were measured during the TTE. Prefrontal cortex (PFC) and vastus lateralis oxygenated, deoxygenated, and total hemoglobin were monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy. At the end of each test, blood lactate values (La-) were collected, and subjects completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). The mask caused a reduction in the TTE (−37.7%; p < 0.001) and in the SpO2 (−2%; p < 0.001). Beck Anxiety Inventory scores were negatively correlated with the changes observed in the TTE (r = −0.77; p < 0.01). La-, HR, and muscle oxygenation displayed similar results across conditions. In conjunction with an increased hemodynamic response in the PFC, subjects reported higher RPE and BD values in the ETM condition (p < 0.01). Finally, BAI scores were negatively correlated with the changes observed in the TTE (r = −0.77; p < 0.01). This study suggests that wearing the ETM induces psychophysiological alterations affecting the exercise tolerance and limiting the performance.

Abstract
Lima-Soares, F, Pessoa, KA, Torres Cabido, CE, Lauver, J, Cholewa, J, Rossi, FE, and Zanchi, NE. Determining the arterial occlusion pressure for blood flow restriction: Pulse oximeter as a new method compared with a handheld Doppler. J Strength Cond Res 36(4): 1120–1124, 2022—In laboratorial and clinical settings, the use of Doppler ultrasound equipment has been considered the gold standard method to determine arterial occlusion pressure (AOP). However, the use of Doppler equipment is inherently limited to the technical expertise needed to perform AOP measurements. To overcome the technical difficulties of the use of Doppler equipment use in the determination of AOP, a simpler and less subjective methodology would be helpful for blood flow restriction (BFR) practitioners. In this regard, portable pulse oximetry has been largely used in clinical practice for measuring systolic pressures, as well as loss or recovery of pulse, with results similar to those observed with the use of Doppler equipment. For such purposes, the AOP from young male and female subjects was evaluated after different body positions (standing, seated, and supine positions). Loss of capillary blood flow or AOP was readily determined by simple visual inspection for the pulse oximeter and loss of sound for the Doppler equipment. The results presented herein strongly suggest the use of the portable pulse oximetry equipment as reliable, when compared with the handheld Doppler (seated k = 0.962, standing k = 0.845, and supine k = 0.963 and seated rs = 0.980, standing rs = 0.958, and supine rs = 0.955). Because AOP measurement by pulse oximetry is relatively easier to perform and financially more accessible than handheld Doppler equipment, BFR practitioners may benefit from this new methodology to measure AOP, thus determining individualized restriction pressures.

Abstract
Bertoli, J, de Souza Bezerra, E, Dias Reis, A, Amice da Costa Barros, E, Gobbo, LA, and Forte Freitas Júnior, I. Long-term side effects of breast cancer on force production parameters. J Strength Cond Res 36(5): 1450–1458, 2022—Breast cancer treatments have long-term side effects, which are associated with muscle strength reduction, negatively affecting the quality of life and increasing the chances of a sedentary life style. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of types of surgery and hormone therapy on muscle strength parameters in breast cancer survivors compared to women without cancer (control). Eighty-three women, 42 breast cancer survivors and 41 control women, volunteered to participate in this study. Subjects performed maximal isometric voluntary contractions, so that force parameters of the right and left shoulder abductor, trunk extensor, and preferred knee extensor-flexor muscles could be evaluated. Overall, breast cancer survivors presented a lower absolute and normalized maximal force (Fmax) for all muscle groups compared with control. The right shoulder abductor muscles of breast cancer survivors presented a significantly lower absolute and normalized rapid force index (RFI) than control. When compared according to hormone therapy treatment, in breast cancer survivors undergoing aromatase inhibitor, all strength parameters except for normalized RFI demonstrated lower values for the right and left shoulder abductors, trunk, and knee extensors compared with control and tamoxifen. When separated by surgery type, breast cancer survivors who underwent quadrantectomy and radical mastectomy presented lower values for some strength parameters for the left and right shoulder abductors, except for trunk extensor muscles, in which quadrantectomy and total mastectomy presented lower strength parameters. It is recommended that breast cancer survivors should be encouraged to perform supervised strength training programs for different muscle groups to improve Fmax and RFI, aiming to reduce muscle weakness and pain, and improve functional capacity and quality of life.

Abstract
Tsoukos, A, Brown, LE, Terzis, G, Veligekas, P, and Bogdanis, GC. Potentiation of bench press throw performance using a heavy load and velocity-based repetition control. J Strength Cond Res 35(2S): S72–S79, 2021—The acute effects of heavy load bench press exercise on subsequent bench press throw (BPT) performance and surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity were examined using movement velocity control. Eleven resistance-trained men completed 3 conditions in randomized and counterbalanced order. In 2 conditions, bench press was performed as fast as possible against a load of 80% of 1 repetition maximum, until mean velocity dropped to 90% (C90) or 70% (C70) of the fastest repetition. In the control condition, no bench press was performed. Single maximal BPT efforts were performed in all conditions after warm-up and throughout the 12 minutes of subsequent recovery. Mean propulsive velocity (MPV), peak velocity (PV), and sEMG activity of the prime mover muscles were measured during the BPT efforts. The total number of repetitions and volume load during bench press were significantly greater in C70 compared with C90 (6.5 ± 1.9 vs. 3.4 ± 0.9 repetitions and 557.8 ± 177.8 vs. 293.8 ± 95.7 kg, p < 0.01). In C90, MPV was increased 5.3–7.4% (p < 0.01) for a prolonged period (4–12 minutes), while in C70, MPV increased only at 10 minutes (+5.9%, p < 0.01) and 12 minutes (+4.3%, p < 0.01). Peak velocity was improved only in the C90 at 8–12th min by 3.6–4.7% (p ≤ 0.05). Surface electromyographic activity of the pectoralis major muscle was significantly greater than baseline at 10 minutes of recovery only in the C90 (p < 0.01). Performance gains may be optimized by taking into account the individual fatigue profiles, allowing a percentage drop of only 10% in movement velocity during the conditioning bench press exercise.
Tradición cristiana y educación para los derechos humanos: crítica al sentido moral de Nietzsche
Authors: Mujica Johnson Felipe Nicolás , Orellana Arduiz Nelly Del Carmen 
Published: May 2020

La filosofía de los derechos humanos contiene la aportación de diferentes tradiciones de pensamiento que han influido en el progreso moral de la humanidad y entre ellas está la tradición cristiana, que contribuyó al concepto de persona y su inherente dignidad universal. No obstante, existen pensadores que niegan el potencial moral de dicha perspectiva, de modo que en este ensayo se abordará el pensamiento de una de ellas. Entonces, el objetivo del presente documento es contrastar las ideas axiológicas del filósofo Friedrich Nietzsche con la esencia de la moral cristiana y su contribución a la educación de los derechos humanos. Así, se descubre que no es cierto que el sentido moral cristiano se oriente a debilitar o enfermar a las personas, sino que enfoca a su fortalecimiento moral. Precisamente, se hace con la finalidad de que puedan vencer las limitaciones vitales o fisiológicas que dificultan sacrificar el bienestar subjetivo por uno objetivo en el nivel individual y colectivo. De lo contrario, si no se trasciende la naturaleza, no es posible aspirar a fines espirituales como la fraternidad universal. En consecuencia, se reconoce que es fundamental potenciar, en los contextos pedagógicos, una inalienable actitud filosófica frente a los derechos humanos.
