Background
Graft occlusion after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been associated with competitive flow of native coronary arteries.

Objectives
To assess with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) graft occlusion and coronary artery disease (CAD) progression of native vessels after CABG and their relationship with angiography-derived vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR) performed before surgery.

Methods
Between 2006 and 2018, serial vFFR analyses were obtained before CABG in each major native coronary vessel from two institutions. All patients underwent follow-up CCTA.

Results
In 171 consecutive patients, serial preoperative angiograms were suitable for vFFR analysis of 298 grafted and 59 nongrafted vessels. Median time between CABG and CCTA was 2.1 years. Preoperative vFFR was assessed in 131 left anterior descending artery (LAD), 132 left circumflex artery (LCX) and 94 right coronary aretry (RCA) and was less than 0.80 in 255 of 298 bypassed vessels. Graft occlusion was observed at CCTA in 28 of 298 grafts. The median preoperative vFFR value of native coronaries was higher in occluded compared with patent grafts (0.75 vs. 0.60, P < 0.001) and was associated with graft. The best vFFR cut-off to predict graft occlusion was 0.67. Progression of CAD was higher in grafted than in nongrafted vessels (89.6 vs. 47.5%, P < 0.001). Pre-CABG vFFR predicted disease progression of grafted native vessels (AUC = 0.83).

Conclusion
Preoperative vFFR derived from invasive coronary angiography was able to predict graft occlusion and CAD progression of grafted coronary arteries.

Published: August 2023

Aims
The role of immediate coronary angiography (CAG) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients who present with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and cardiac arrest is well recognized. However, the role of immediate angiography in patients after cardiac arrest without STEMI is less clear. We assessed whether urgent (<6 h) CAG and PCI (whenever needed) was associated with improved early survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods
In our single-centre, retrospective, observational study, we included all consecutive OHCA patients admitted to the A&E of the Careggi University Hospital between 1 June 2016 and 31 July 2020. One hundred and forty-four OHCA patients were submitted to CAG and constituted our study population.

Results
Among the 221 consecutive OHCA patients, 69 (31%) had refractory cardiac arrest treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) in 37 (37/69, 56%) patients. The mortality rate was significantly higher in the no CAG subgroup (P < 0.00001). In the CAG subgroup, coronary artery disease was detected in the 70% (92 patients), among whom the left main coronary artery was involved in 10 patients (10.8%). At multivariable regression analysis (CAG subgroup, outcome ICU survival), witnessed cardiac arrest was independently associated with survival.

Conclusion
A high incidence of coronary artery disease was observed at CAG in the real–world of OHCA patients. Better planning of revascularization and treatment in patients studied with CAG may explain, at least in part, their lower mortality rate.

Aims
In Italy, 12-month survival in the general population between 90 and 94 years old is 26%. In very old patients, the benefit of pacemaker implantation in terms of quality and duration of life is unclear. The aim of our study was to analyse clinical characteristics, outcome and factors associated with survival in patients at least 90 years old at the time of the first pacemaker implant.

Methods
Clinical parameters, device characteristics, survival and predictors of outcome in patients at least 90 years old treated with a pacemaker in our centre in 2019–2020 were evaluated.

Results
Among the 554 patients undergoing pacemaker implantation in our centre during the study interval, 69 (12%) were at least 90 years old; a complete/advanced atrioventricular block was present in 65%. A cardiological comorbidity (excluding atrial fibrillation) was present in 22 patients (32%). Oncological, pulmonary and neurological comorbidities were present in 12 (17%), 19 (28%) and 32 (46%), respectively. Renal impairment was present in 25 patients (36%). After pacemaker implantation, a pneumothorax developed in two patients and lead dislodgment in one. During follow-up (median 17 months, interquartile range: 13–24), 32 patients died (46%), with a 12-month mortality probability of 24.6%. At multivariate analysis, the presence of oncological (hazard ratio (HR) 5.31; P < 0.001) and neurological (HR 6.44; P < 0.001) comorbidities was associated with mortality. Truncating the outcome at 6 months, renal impairment (HR 8.01; P = 0.003), anticoagulant therapy (HR 8.14; P = 0.003), oncological comorbidities (HR 14.1; P < 0.001) and left ventricular function (5% increase of left ventricular ejection fraction: HR 0.66; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with outcome.

Conclusion
At our centre, patients at least 90 years old underwent pacemaker implantation mainly for advanced atrioventricular block. One-year survival was excellent, even better than expected in the general population.
Retrospective review of eyelid coloboma in snow leopards (Panthera uncia) housed under managed care in North America: 49 cases (2000–2020)
Authors: Georoff Timothy A. , Marlar Annajane B. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To determine incidence, trends in presentation, associated ocular lesions and other diseases, treatment modalities, and case outcomes of eyelid coloboma cases in snow leopards.

ANIMALS
49 snow leopards with eyelid coloboma living under managed care in North America.

METHODS
Medical records were retrospectively searched to identify snow leopards in which eyelid coloboma was diagnosed between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2020. Data recorded from each animal included signalment, ophthalmic examination information, clinical signs, concurrent health conditions, medical and/or surgical interventions, time to resolution of signs, recurrence of clinical signs, and direct relatives with a history of eyelid coloboma.

RESULTS
Ocular clinical signs were present at diagnosis in most cases but not seen in all cases. Corrective procedures were undertaken in 39 cases. Clinical signs were resolved by the total combination of interventions in 84.6% of individuals; however, signs resolved in only 33.3% of cases after a single surgical reconstruction or cryoablation procedure per eye.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Eyelid coloboma is widespread in the North American snow leopard population. A high percentage (73.5%) have an affected sibling, parent, or grandparent, suggesting a heritable component. Surgical correction resolves or improves clinical signs in most cases, but there is a high rate of postprocedural complications with all procedure types employed. Most complications are minor and manageable, but these can also impact case outcomes. Animals require long-term monitoring, as clinical signs may recur (in some cases, years after initial signs are reported to be resolved), and some animals may require long-term care to manage signs.
Multiplication of lavender (L. angustifolia) and lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia) in explant culture

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Lavender plants are preferably propagated vegetatively. The aim of the work was to propose the composition of nutrient media for in vitro multiplication of plants of Lavandula angustifolia (var. Krajová and Beta) and Lavandula x intermedia (var. Budrovka and Grosso). Explant cultures were initiated from apical or nodal segments. Apical segments were more suitable and regenerated the highest number of shoots in MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L BAP with or without 0.1 mg/L IAA in all used varieties. Nodal segments are suitable for var. Budrovka, where the number of shoots was not statistically different between the apical or nodal segments and among the media tested. Shoot multiplication of L. angustifolia varieties was the most effective in the MS media with 0.5 or 1 mg/L BAP. For variety Grosso, the optimal medium was MS with 1 mg/L BAP, while var. Budrovka regenerated a similar number of shoots in all media supplemented with 0.5 or 1 mg/L BAP with or without 0.1 mg/L IAA. All genotypes rooted with the highest frequency on growth regulator-free medium with a half dose of MS salts. After transplanting into the soil and ex vitro acclimatization, plantlets survivability after 10 weeks was 78.9 – 87.7%, except for var. Beta with a lower survivability of 50%. The proposed procedures enable a rapid plant multiplication of varieties Budrovka, Grosso and Krajová. With the Beta variety, it is advisable to continue working on the optimization of nutrient media to verify whether the procedures can be further optimized.
Nitrogen release dynamics and carbon sequestration by legume and non-legume cover crops under pure and mixed planting conditions

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Synchronizing crop residue decomposing and releasing nitrogen with subsequent cash crop needs provides benefits for ecosystems, but it is difficult to carry out. This study aimed to investigate the trend of decomposition of vetch (Vicia sativa), rye (Secale cereale) and mixed (rye + vetch) cover crop residues as well as nitrogen release after incorporating them into the soil during 12 weeks of the potato growth season by using the mesh bag method. Vetch residues decomposed very quickly in the spring and their nitrogen is released due to their higher nitrogen content and consequently a lower Carbon/Nitrogen (C/N) ratio. However, rye residues decomposed at a slower rate compared to mixed treatment, and their nitrogen content was immobilized mainly due to a higher C/N ratio. A better understanding of cover crops residues decomposition dynamics leads to maximizing the cover crop effects and higher nutrient uptake by subsequent main crops. The results of this study showed that the input level of nitrogen fertiliser can be reduced by implementing management strategies in farming potatoes and using cover crops, which will reduce the harmful environmental effects and increase the economic benefit for farmers.

Authors: Alenizi Mutaz M. , Alrashdi Alanoud , Habib Rabea , Fadhl Alshahid 
Published: August 2023

Objectives:
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic bone disorder caused mainly by a defect in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes. This study aimed to analyze the complication using surgical interventions, including intramedullary telescopic rod fixation, Rush pin fixation, and Kirschner-wire (K-wire) fixation.

Methods:
This retrospective and cohort study was conducted in our institution, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A total of 23 patients with OI were treated from 2018 to 2022, out of which 19 were treated surgically. A total of 29 long bones were surgically managed. Our patients’ data were collected from the hospital’s electronic system.

Results:
The overall incidence of Rush pin fixation post-operative complications was 57% (five out of seven cases) and K-wire fixation was 50% (one out of two cases). The main indications for intramedullary telescopic rod implantation were osseous deformities and fractures, with the overall incidence of post-operative complications reaching around 35% (seven out of 20 cases).

Conclusion:
In our population, the overall incidence of complications after intramedullary telescopic rod fixation was lower than those after Rush pin fixation and K-wire fixation. In addition, more studies are needed to add to the literature new ways of tackling post-operative complications following the insertion of intramedullary telescopic rods, such as nail migration and new fractures or refractures.

Hasil analisis pada penelitian memberi kesimpulan bahwa kadar volume 40% dapat dijadikan kadar optimal volume pasir dalam campuran beton metode SNI.Kata kunci: volume pasir, kadar optimal, kuat tekan beton, metode SNI ABSTRACTThe probability of achieving the compressive strength of concrete mix design by SNI in this study was analyzed through the Dreux method. The results of the analysis indicated that the sand content in the concrete mix design by SNI was capable of achieving the planned compressive strength of the concrete. This study was intended to determine the optimal volume of sand content in combined aggregate in concrete mixtures that can be applied to all maximum sizes of coarse aggregate. The optimal criteria for the sand content involved in this study were the sand content that was able to facilitate the mixing of concrete, avoid the possibility of segregation, and the sand content remained within the limits of the SNI aggregate gradation curve even though changes were found in the sand content during the concrete manufacturing process in the field, thereby still achieving the compressive strength of concrete. This study utilized secondary data from the 28-day concrete compressive strength test by SNI. The results of the analysis in the study concluded that the volume content of 40% can be used as the optimal content of sand volume in the concrete mix design by SNI.Keywords: volume of sand, optimum content, compressive strength, SNI method
