Authors: Stepanova N. , Stashevska N. , Lebid L. , Kolesnyk M. 
Published: June 2018

The present study was performed to evaluate the ability of Lactobacillus probiotics to reduce the urinary oxalate excretion level and prevent recurrent pyelonephritis.
Methods. The open, 6 months randomized controlled trial was followed up. 80 women with recurrent pyelonephritis, caused by E. coli or S. faecalis, were randomly allocated into 2 groups. The 1st Group (n = 40) took Symbiform® which contained acidophilic and plantar Lactobacilli, Lactococci (lactis and cremoris), Bifidobacteria (adolescentis and bifidum) and thermophilic non–pathogenic Streptococcus. The 2nd one (n = 40) received oxalate–soluble herbal remedy Uronefron® containing 188 mg of city extract from 9 plants. Probiotic was prescribed in a dose of 1 sachet 2 times a day during the first 5 days, followed by a dose reduction of 1 sachet per day for a month. Uronefron® was prescribed in a dose of 3 pills a day for a month.
Results. 1 month after the end of the treatment, microbiological studies of the colon microflora demonstrated the increasing level of Lactobacillus spp. colonization more than 7 million CPU/1 g of faeces: 35/40 (87.5 %) in the patients of the 1st Group vs 6/40 (15 %) in the women of the comparison Group f/f = 41.5; p < 0.0001).
The levels of daily urinary oxalate excretion were significantly decreased in both groups: the patients of Probiotic Group: 117.6 ± 11.7 vs 71.9 ± 10.07mg/d after the treatment (p < 0.0001) and 122.02 ± 17 vs 84.8 ± 9.8 mg/d (p < 0.0001) in the women of the 2nd Group, respectively.
In the 6 months preceding randomization, at least 1 recurrence of pyelonephritis occurred in 2/40 (5 %) women of the Probiotic Group and 9/40 (22.5 %) in the patients of Group II (//= 5,1; p = 0,02).
Conclusions. The use of lactobacillus probiotics in non–stone fanners women with recurrent pyelonephritis increases the quantitative content of Lactobacillus spp. in the gut, reduces daily urinary oxalate excretion and the number of pyelonephritis recurrences.

Published: June 2018

OBJECTIVEFreehand insertion of external ventricular drains (EVDs) using anatomical landmarks is considered the primary method for placement, although alternative techniques have shown improved accuracy in positioning. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate which features of the baseline clinical history and preprocedural CT scan predict EVD positioning into suboptimal and unsatisfactory locations when using the freehand insertion technique.METHODSA retrospective chart review was performed evaluating 189 consecutive adult patients who received an EVD via freehand technique through an anterior burr hole between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2015, at a Level 1 trauma facility in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The primary outcome measures included features associated with suboptimal positioning (Kakarla grade 1 vs Kakarla grades 2 and 3). The secondary outcome measures were features associated with unsatisfactory positioning (Kakarla grades 1 and 2 vs Kakarla grade 3).RESULTSFifty-one EVDs (27%) were suboptimally positioned. Fifteen (8%) EVDs were placed into eloquent cortex or nontarget CSF spaces. Admitting diagnosis, head height-to-width ratio in axial plane, and side of predominant pathology were found to be significantly associated with suboptimal placement (p = 0.02, 0.012, and 0.02, respectively). A decreased height-to-width ratio was also associated with placement into only eloquent cortex and/or nontarget CSF spaces (p = 0.003).CONCLUSIONSFreehand insertion of an EVD is associated with significant suboptimal positioning into parenchyma and nontarget CSF spaces. The likelihood of inaccurate EVD placement can be predicted with baseline clinical and radiographic features. The patient’s height-to-width ratio represents a novel potential radiographic predictor for malpositioning.
Compressive cervical pannus formation in a patient after 2-level disc arthroplasty: a rare complication treated with posterior instrumented fusion
Authors: Brophy Carl M. , Hoh Daniel J. 
Published: June 2018

Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has received widespread attention as an alternative to anterior fusion due to its similar neurological and functional improvement, with the advantage of preservation of segmental motion. As CDA becomes more widely implemented, the potential for unexpected device-related adverse events may be identified.The authors report on a 48-year-old man who presented with progressive neurological deficits 3 years after 2-level CDA was performed. Imaging demonstrated periprosthetic osteolysis of the vertebral endplates at the CDA levels, with a heterogeneously enhancing ventral epidural mass compressing the spinal cord. Diagnostic workup for infectious and neoplastic processes was negative. The presumptive diagnosis was an inflammatory pannus formation secondary to abnormal motion at the CDA levels. Posterior cervical decompression and instrumented fusion was performed without removal of the arthroplasty devices or the ventral epidural mass. Postoperative imaging at 2 months demonstrated complete resolution of the compressive pannus, with associated improvement in clinical symptoms. Follow-up MRI at > 6 months showed no recurrence of the pannus. At 1 year postoperatively, CT scanning revealed improvement in periprosthetic osteolysis.Inflammatory pannus formation may be an unexpected complication of abnormal segmental motion after CDA. This rare etiology of an epidural mass associated with an arthroplasty device should be considered, in addition to workup for other potential infectious or neoplastic mass lesions. In symptomatic individuals, compressive pannus lesions can be effectively treated with fusion across the involved segment without removal of the device.
Acute fatal hemorrhage from previously undiagnosed cerebral arteriovenous malformations in children: a single-center experience

Published: June 2018

OBJECTIVEThe most significant adverse outcome of intracranial hemorrhage from an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is death. This study reviews a single-center experience with pediatric AVMs to quantify the incidence and characterize clinical and radiographic factors associated with sudden death from the hemorrhage of previously undiagnosed AVMs in children.METHODSA single-center database review of the period from 2006 to 2017 identified all patients with a first-time intracranial hemorrhage from a previously undiagnosed AVM. Clinical and radiographic data were collected and compared between patients who survived to hospital discharge and those who died at presentation.RESULTSA total of 57 patients (average age 10.8 years, range 0.1–19 years) presented with first-time intracranial hemorrhage from a previously undiagnosed AVM during the study period. Of this group, 7/57 (12%) patients (average age 11.5 years, range 6–16 years) suffered hemorrhages that led directly to their deaths. Compared to the cohort of patients who survived their hemorrhage, patients who died were 4 times more likely to have an AVM in the posterior fossa. No clear pattern of antecedent triggering activity (sports, trauma, etc.) was identified, and 3/7 (43%) experienced cardiac arrest in the prehospital setting. Surviving patients were ultimately treated with resection of the AVM in 42/50 (84%) of cases.CONCLUSIONSChildren who present with hemorrhage from a previously undiagnosed intracranial AVM had a 12% chance of sudden death in our single-institution series of pediatric cerebrovascular cases. Clinical triggers of hemorrhage are unpredictable, but subsequent radiographic evidence of a posterior fossa AVM was present in 57% of fatal cases, and all fatal cases were in locations with high risk of potential herniation. These data support a proactive, aggressive approach toward definitive treatment of AVMs in children.

Abstract
We report on a broadband study of a complex X-ray source (1SAX J0618.0+2227) associated with the interaction site of the supernova remnant (SNR) IC 443 and ambient molecular cloud (MC) using NuSTAR, XMM-Newton, and Chandra observations. Its X-ray spectrum is composed of both thermal and nonthermal components. The thermal component can be equally well represented by either a thin plasma model with kT = 0.19 keV or a blackbody model with kT = 0.11 keV. The nonthermal component can be fit with either a power law with Γ ∼ 1.7 or a cutoff power law with Γ ∼ 1.5 and a cutoff energy at E
cut ∼ 18 keV. Using the newly obtained NuSTAR data set, we test three possible scenarios for isolated X-ray sources in the SNR–MC interaction site: (1) a pulsar wind nebula (PWN); (2) an SNR ejecta fragment; and (3) a shocked molecular clump. We conclude that this source is most likely composed of an SNR ejecta (or a PWN) and surrounding shocked molecular clumps. The nature of this hard X-ray source in the SNR–MC interaction site of IC 443 may shed light on unidentified X-ray sources with hard X-ray spectra in rich environments for star-forming regions, such as the Galactic center.
Optical–Mid-infrared Period–Luminosity Relations for W UMa-type Contact Binaries Based on Gaia DR 1: 8% Distance Accuracy

Published: June 2018

Abstract
W Ursa Majoris (W UMa)-type contact binary systems (CBs) are useful statistical distance indicators because of their large numbers. Here, we establish (orbital) period–luminosity relations (PLRs) in 12 optical to mid-infrared bands (GBVRIJHK
s
W1W2W3W4) based on 183 nearby W UMa-type CBs with accurate Tycho–Gaia parallaxes. The 1σ dispersion of the PLRs decreases from optical to near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. The minimum scatter, 0.16 mag, implies that W UMa-type CBs can be used to recover distances to 7% precision. Applying our newly determined PLRs to 19 open clusters containing W UMa-type CBs demonstrates that the PLR and open cluster CB distance scales are mutually consistent to within 1%. Adopting our PLRs as secondary distance indicators, we compiled a catalog of 55,603 CB candidates, of which 80% have distance estimates based on a combination of optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared photometry. Using Fourier decomposition, 27,318 high-probability W UMa-type CBs were selected. The resulting 8% distance accuracy implies that our sample encompasses the largest number of objects with accurate distances within a local volume with a radius of 3 kpc available to date. The distribution of W UMa-type CBs in the Galaxy suggests that in different environments, the CB luminosity function may be different: larger numbers of brighter (longer-period) W UMa-type CBs are found in younger environments.

Abstract
We present single-epoch black hole mass (

) calibrations based on the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) and optical measurements of Mg ii 2798 Å and Hβ 4861 Å lines and the active galactic nucleus (AGN) continuum, using a sample of 52 moderate-luminosity AGNs at z ∼ 0.4 and z ∼ 0.6 with high-quality Keck spectra. We combine this sample with a large number of luminous AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to increase the dynamic range for a better comparison of UV and optical velocity and luminosity measurements. With respect to the reference

based on the line dispersion of Hβ and continuum luminosity at 5100 Å, we calibrate the UV and optical mass estimators by determining the best-fit values of the coefficients in the mass equation. By investigating whether the UV estimators show a systematic trend with Eddington ratio, FWHM of Hβ, Fe ii strength, or UV/optical slope, we find no significant bias except for the slope. By fitting the systematic difference of Mg ii-based and Hβ-based masses with the L
3000/L
5100 ratio, we provide a correction term as a function of the spectral index as ΔC = 0.24 (1 + α

λ
) + 0.17, which can be added to the Mg ii-based mass estimators if the spectral slope can be well determined. The derived UV mass estimators typically show >∼0.2 dex intrinsic scatter with respect to the Hβ-based

, suggesting that the UV-based mass has an additional uncertainty of ∼0.2 dex, even if high-quality rest-frame UV spectra are available.
The Distribution and Excitation of CH3CN in a Solar Nebula Analog

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Cometary studies suggest that the organic composition of the early Solar Nebula was rich in complex nitrile species such CH3CN. Recent ALMA detections in protoplanetary disks suggest that these species may be common during planet and comet formation, but connecting gas-phase measurements to cometary abundances first requires constraints on formation chemistry and distributions of these species. We present here the detection of seven spatially resolved transitions of CH3CN in the protoplanetary disk around the T-Tauri star TW Hya. Using a rotational diagram analysis, we find a disk-averaged column density of

cm−2 and a rotational temperature of

K. A radially resolved rotational diagram shows the rotational temperature to be constant across the disk, suggesting that the CH3CN emission originates from a layer at z/r ∼ 0.3. Through comparison of the observations with predictions from a disk chemistry model, we find that grain-surface reactions likely dominate CH3CN formation and that in situ disk chemistry is sufficient to explain the observed CH3CN column density profile without invoking inheritance from the protostellar phase. However, the same model fails to reproduce a solar system cometary abundance of CH3CN relative to H2O in the midplane, suggesting that either vigorous vertical mixing or some degree of inheritance from interstellar ices occurred in the Solar Nebula.
