Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to summarize the existing evidence and develop a comprehensive systematic review of the impact of androgen suppression therapy (AST) on the incidence or clinical outcomes of bladder cancer.MethodsWe systematically searched the PubMed and Embase databases from inception to June 20, 2021 to identify all observational studies examining the incidence or clinical outcomes of bladder cancer in patients who received AST. AST is defined as the use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).ResultsA total of 18 observational studies were included. Our results showed that AST was not significantly associated with a reduced risk of BCa incidence (OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.68–1.24) compared with the lack of AST. The subgroup analysis revealed that finasteride use was significantly associated with a reduction in the risk of BCa incidence (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.64–0.88). Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was improved among AST users compared with nonusers (HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.48–0.95), while no significant difference between AST users versus nonusers was identified for cancer-specific survival (CSS), overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS).ConclusionCurrent evidence indicates that therapy with finasteride may represent a potential strategy aimed at reducing BCa incidence. Moreover, AST has a beneficial effect on the recurrence of bladder cancer. Further well-designed randomized trials or cohort studies with better characterized study populations are needed to validate our preliminary findings.Systematic Review RegistrationInternational Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews database [https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/], identifier CRD42021261685.

Background: Antral web is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction in children. The presentation is diverse, depending on the degree of obstruction. Unfortunately, the guidance of management is still lacking.Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated the presentations, management, and outcomes of the pediatric antral web based on a 20-year experience in a referral center.Results: A total of 23 cases were included. The median age of diagnosis was 10 months (interquartile range, IQR, 0.8–23 months). Main presentations comprised vomiting (83%) and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding (48%). Concurrent gastric ulcers were common (68%). A total of 13 cases (57%) underwent interventional treatment. The median duration from diagnosis to intervention (DtI) was 10 days, but five with longer DtI, ranged from 30 to 755 days. Among the 15 cases with concurrent gastric ulcers, 10 patients received intervention, immediately in six but delayed in four. Surgical treatments (N = 12) achieved a cure in 11, with one rescued by endoscopic treatment.Conclusions: Children who suffer from early gastric ulcers with outlet obstruction shall raise the suspicion of the antral web. Complete obstruction madates early intervention. Around half of the cases with adequate feeding and growth need no intervention. Recurrent obstructive symptoms or adjacent ulcers justify a switch from observation to intervention to avoid complications or growth faltering.

Objective: Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) reaction to exercise is gender dependent. Nevertheless, clinically applicable methods to identify this difference are still missing. An organ largely sensitive to SNS is the spleen whose response to exercise can be easily evaluated, being included in the field of view of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Here, we aimed to verify whether gender interferes with the spleen perfusion and its response to exercise.Methods: For this purpose, we evaluated 286 original scans of consecutive patients submitted to MPI in the course of 2019. Our standard procedure implies a single-day stress-rest sequence with a gap of ≥2 h between the administrations of 180 and 500 MBq of 99mTc-Sestamibi, respectively. Imaging is performed 30 min after radiotracer administration, with scan duration set at 25 and 35 s per view, respectively. Non-gated scans were reconstructed with the filtered back-projection method. A volume of interest was drawn on the spleen and heart to estimate the dose-normalized average counting rate that was expressed in normalized counts per seconds (NCPS).Results: In all subjects submitted to exercise MPI (n = 228), NCPS were higher during stress than at rest (3.52 ± 2.03 vs. 2.78 ± 2.07, respectively; p &lt; 0.01). This effect was not detected in the 58 patients submitted to dipyridamole-stress. The response to exercise selectively involved the spleen, since NCPS in heart were unchanged irrespective of the used stressor. This same response was dependent upon gender, indeed spleen NCPS during stress were significantly higher in the 75 women than in the 153 men (3.86 ± 1.8 vs. 3.23 ± 1.6, respectively, p &lt; 0.01). Again, this variance was not reproduced by heart. Finally, spleen NCPS were lower in the 173 patients with myocardial reversible perfusion defects (summed difference score ≥3) than in the remaining 55, despite similar values of rate pressure product at tracer injection.Conclusion: Thus, exercise interference on spleen perfusion can be detected during MPI. This effect is dependent upon gender and ischemia confirming the high sensitivity of this organ to SNS activation.

Published: December 2021

Background: The rapidly growing imbalance between supply and demand for ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the principles for fair allocation of scarce resources. Failing to address public views and concerns on the subject could fuel distrust. The objective of this study was to determine the priorities of the Iranian public toward the fair allocation of ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This anonymous community-based national study was conducted from May 28 to Aug 20, 2020, in Iran. Data were collected via the Google Forms platform, using an online self-administrative questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed participants' assigned prioritization scores for ventilators based on medical and non-medical criteria. To quantify participants' responses on prioritizing ventilator allocation among sub-groups of patients with COVID-19 who need mechanical ventilation scores ranging from −2, very low priority, to +2, very high priority were assigned to each response.Results: Responses of 2,043 participants, 1,189 women, and 1,012 men, were analyzed. The mean (SD) age was 31.1 (9.5), being 32.1 (9.3) among women, and 29.9 (9.6) among men. Among all participants, 274 (13.4%) were healthcare workers. The median of assigned priority score was zero (equal) for gender, age 41–80, nationality, religion, socioeconomic, high-profile governmental position, high-profile occupation, being celebrities, employment status, smoking status, drug abuse, end-stage status, and obesity. The median assigned priority score was +2 (very high priority) for pregnancy, and having &lt;2 years old children. The median assigned priority score was +1 (high priority) for physicians and nurses of patients with COVID-19, patients with nobel research position, those aged &lt;40 years, those with underlying disease, immunocompromise status, and malignancy. Age&gt;80 was the only factor participants assigned −1 (low priority) to.Conclusions: Participants stated that socioeconomic factors, except for age&gt;80, should not be involved in prioritizing mechanical ventilators at the time of resources scarcity. Front-line physicians and nurses of COVID-19 patients, pregnant mothers, mothers who had children under 2 years old were given high priority.

Authors: Baugh Littlejohns Lori , Hill Carly , Neudorf Cory 
Published: December 2021

Objectives: Complex systems thinking methods are increasingly called for and used as analytical lenses in public health research. The use of qualitative system mapping and in particular, causal loop diagrams (CLDs) is described as one promising method or tool. To our knowledge there are no published literature reviews that synthesize public health research regarding how CLDs are created and used.Methods: We conducted a scoping review to address this gap in the public health literature. Inclusion criteria included: 1) focused on public health research, 2) peer reviewed journal article, 3) described and/or created a CLD, and 4) published in English from January 2018 to March 2021. Twenty-three articles were selected from the search strategy.Results: CLDs were described as a new tool and were based upon primary and secondary data, researcher driven and group processes, and numerous data analysis methods and frameworks. Intended uses of CLDs ranged from illustrating complexity to informing policy and practice.Conclusion: From our learnings we propose nine recommendations for building knowledge and skill in creating and using CLDs for future public health research.
