Background:
The mismatch between in-stent minimum lumen area (sMLA) and reference vessel lumen area, defined as stent underexpansion (SU), could be an important determinant of stent failure. We tested the clinical predictive value of absolute sMLA in comparison to relative SU in the context of the CLI-OPCI (Centro Per La Lotta Contro L’Infarto-Optimisation of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) project registry.

Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed end procedural optical coherence tomography findings in 1211 patients (1422 lesions) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, assessing the prevalence and magnitude of residual SU and exploring correlation with outcome in comparison with sMLA.

Results:

In our series, both sMLA and SU were related to vessel size and anatomic lesion complexity. When compared with patients without adverse event at follow-up, those experiencing device-oriented cardiovascular events (composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis) showed a lower sMLA (5.6±2.1 versus 6.1±2.1 mm

;
P
=0.011) but a comparable degree of SU (11.6±14.1% versus 11.2±13.3%;
P
=0.734). The prespecified cutoff value of sMLA <4.5 mm
2
, documented in 23.8% of cases, was confirmed as independent outcome predictor for device-oriented cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR], 2.05 [95% CI, 1.5–2.9]) including target lesion revascularization (HR, 2.43 [95% CI, 1.7–3.5]) and stent thrombosis (HR, 3.23 [95% CI, 1.7–6.3]). A residual SU of 10%, 20%, and 30% was observed in 38.0%, 18.2%, and 7.6% of cases, respectively. No grade of residual SU significantly increased the risk of stent failure, unless if an SU >20% was associated with an sMLA <4.5 mm
2
(HR, 3.11 [95% CI, 1.7–5.6]). Finally, an association between stent overexpansion (ie, >110%) and device-oriented cardiovascular events was also observed (HR, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.1–2.3]).

Conclusions:

Final absolute sMLA and not relative SU was associated with an increased risk of stent failure. A variable grade of SU was common, but it resulted in being clinically relevant only when associated with an sMLA <4.5 mm

All Fun and Games? Relationships between Finnish Police Dogs and Their Handlers
Authors: Ahto-Hakonen Jenni , Hakonen Aki 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The paper presents the first cultural anthropological study of the Finnish canine police force. The study is based on interviews with eleven police dog handlers. The interviews focused on the cultural model of the profession, with emphasis on the interaction between dogs and their handlers. The relationship is surprisingly reciprocal. It can be understood as operating on the principles of an interspecies social contract, where the categorical division between the species is, paradoxically, vigorously maintained and habitually broken. The police dog requires constant negotiation to perform tasks that humans themselves cannot do. Rather than being forced, the dogs are guided through play and positive reinforcement into performing tasks. Relationships of canine police teams are deeply personal and in navigating the complexities of a human-driven society, the canine assumes many different roles. Conceptualizing police dogs as mediators for their natural talents, instead of mere tools, could formalize their place in society.
Bardesane et l’herméneutique des Écritures : l’étude des nouveaux témoignages
Authors: Jurasz Izabela 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Very little is known about the use of Scripture by Bardaisan, the Syriac-speaking Christian philosopher. The scholars have identified a few biblical references and terms, but they found that quotations are extremely rare. Even more so, it is difficult to state an opinion on Bardaisan’s exegetical method. Research has focused on Ephraim’s Memrā against Bardaisan and his passages concerning the reading of Jn 8:51. Now, it is possible to broaden the area of research on the testimony of Eusebius of Emesa – preserved in Armenian – about Bardaisanite exegesis of Gen 6:22 and Gen 7:1, as well as on the uses the Scriptures by Bardaisanite who intervenes in Adamantios’s Dialogue on Right Faith in God. The analysis of this new evidences shows that Bardaisan and his followers practised literal exegesis in the tradition of the Antiochian school.
Il existe très peu d’informations sur l’utilisation des Écritures par Bardesane, le philosophe chrétien de langue syriaque. Les spécialistes ont identifié surtout des allusions et expressions bibliques, mais les citations restent extrêmement rares. À plus forte raison, il est difficile de se prononcer sur la méthode exégétique de Bardesane. Les recherches ont été concentrées sur le Memrā contre Bardesane d’Éphrem et ses passages concernant la lecture de Jn 8, 51. Cependant, il est possible d’élargir le champ de recherche sur le témoignage d’Eusèbe d’Émèse – conservé en arménien – au sujet de l’exégèse bardesanite de Gn 6, 22 et Gn 7, 1, ainsi que sur la manière d’utilisation des Écritures par le bardesanite qui in-tervient dans le Dialogue sur la juste foi en Dieu d’Adamantios. L’analyse de ce nouveau dossier montre que Bardesane et ses disciples ont pratiqué l’exégèse littérale, dans la tradition de l’école d’Antioche.
“I need to protect everyone”
Authors: Davey Christopher P. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article examines violent masculinity and locates this performative identity within ethnic conflict and African masculinity literature. Analysis focuses on the development of Congolese Banyamulenge soldiers’ masculine narratives and moral justifications of violence. The article responds to this question: what is Banyamulenge violent masculinity, and how has it developed? The process of how Banyamulenge masculinity evolved in response to perceptions of threat, and elements of genocide are present. These men considered themselves the final protectors of Tutsis regionally and in the Congo, deploying a degree of exceptionalism. Using narrative analysis, this article engages the above literature and original fieldwork interviews with Banyamulenge soldiers and political actors. The concept of violent masculinity addresses the masculinity gap of broader ethnic conflict literature. This article also offers a significant empirical contribution in terms of Banyamulenge involvement in local and regional conflicts. Violent masculinity evolved as a Banyamulenge practice, whilst being embedded in traditional structures.

Objective Expand research on the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) to a more applied agricultural target detection/selection task and examine the utility of various performance metrics, including composite measures of speed and accuracy, in a High-Go/Low-No-Go stimuli task. Background Modified SARTs have been utilized to investigate mechanisms, such as failures of response inhibition, occurring in friendly fire and collateral damage incidents. Researchers have demonstrated that composite measures of speed and accuracy are useful for Low Go/High No-Go stimuli tasks, but this has not been demonstrated for High-Go/Low-No-Go tasks, such as the SART. Method Participants performed a modified SART, where they selected (“sprayed”) images of weeds (Go stimuli) that appeared on a computer screen, while withholding to rarer soybean plant images (No-Go stimuli). Results Response time was a function of distance from a central starting point. Participants committed commission errors (sprayed the soybeans) at a significantly higher rate when the stimuli appeared under the cursor centered on the screen for each trial. Participant’s omission errors (failure to spray a weed) increased significantly as a function of distance. The composite measures examined were primarily influenced by response time and omission errors limiting their utility when commission errors are of particular interest. Conclusion Participants are far more accurate in their decision making when required to execute a longer duration motor task in High-Go/Low-No-Go experiments. Application Demonstrates a serious human factors liability of target detection and snap-to-target systems.

Objective This study was performed to evaluate the correlation between parameters measured by bedside ultrasonography and detection of intracranial organic lesions in patients with impaired consciousness in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who were admitted to our ICU from April 2017 to July 2019. Patients who underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging examination and measurement of the flow velocity of the carotid and intracranial arteries and the optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasonography were selected for analysis. Results In total, 64 patients were analyzed in this study. Of these, intracranial lesions were detected by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging in 17 (27%) patients. The left:right ratio of the end-diastolic velocity of the bilateral common carotid artery (CCA-ED ratio) and the pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery (MCA-PI) were significantly higher in patients with than in those without intracranial lesions. The cut-off value of the CCA-ED ratio was 1.55 (sensitivity, 66.7%; specificity, 81.6%), and that of the MCA-PI was 1.21 (sensitivity, 57.1%; specificity, 76.7%). Conclusion Bedside ultrasonography is useful for predicting intracranial lesions requiring therapeutic intervention in ICU patients with impaired consciousness.

Published: September 2022

Objective Rapid eye movement (REM) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with the risk of cardiovascular events. Arterial stiffness and carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) predict these events, but few relevant studies have been conducted. We compared long-term changes in arterial stiffness and IMT between patients with REM OSA and non-REM (NREM) OSA receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or oral appliance (OA) therapy. Methods Newly diagnosed female patients with OSA received CPAP (n = 6) or OA (n = 7). Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and carotid artery ultrasound were performed before and 60 months after treatment. Results There were no differences in baseline characteristics (mean age: 56.0 vs. 61.3 years; mean body mass index: 22.6 vs. 21.7 kg/m2) between the REM OSA and non-REM OSA groups. The median apnea-hypopnea index was lower in the REM OSA group than in the non-REM OSA group. Increased PWV (12.92 ± 1.64 to 14.56 ± 2.73 m/s) and deteriorated glucose metabolism were observed in the REM OSA group after treatment. PWV, IMT, and cardiovascular risk factors were unaffected in the non-REM OSA group. Conclusion Arterial stiffness and glucose metabolism are deteriorated in patients with REM OSA compared with these parameters in patients with non-REM OSA after CPAP or OA treatment.

Background: The sonographic posterolateral rotatory stress test may be a good preoperative diagnostic tool for posterolateral rotatory instability, especially in atraumatic or occult cases. However, there is lack of study on the living population or the normal elbow. Hypothesis/Purpose: This study evaluates the ulnohumeral opening gap difference between elbows in resting and stress positions while performing ultrasonography in normal healthy volunteers. The hypothesis is that the normal ulnohumeral opening gap difference is less than 2 mm. Methods: A total of 21 participants (9 males and 12 females) who presented at our institution between May and June 2021 were recruited. First, participants with elbow deformity, major elbow trauma, history of injection or surgery around the elbow, or evidence of elbow instability were excluded. Only healthy elbows without symptoms were included in this study. Participants’ both elbows were examined using ultrasonography. The ulnohumeral gap was measured in millimeters, and the difference was calculated from the means of ulnohumeral gap in resting and stress positions. Results: The mean age of participants was 36.14 years old. No samples with hyperlaxity were included. Overall, the means of ulnohumeral gap in resting and stress positions were 2.55 ± 0.69 mm and 3.16 ± 0.80 mm, respectively. The average mean of overall ulnohumeral opening gap difference was 0.61 ± 0.32 mm. There was no statistically significant difference between males and females ( p = .989). The intraobserver reliability was 0.89 and 0.9 for resting and stress positions, respectively. Conclusion: The sonographic posterolateral rotatory stress test shows that the ulnohumeral opening gap difference between resting and stress positions is less than 2 mm in healthy volunteers. Clinical Relevance: In patients with inconclusively-diagnosed PLRI, the sonographic posterolateral rotatory stress test may be a reliable preoperative diagnosis tool, providing its non-invasiveness and the ability to assess the contralateral side as a comparison.

Objectives Health education may improve health in geriatric patients. To evaluate differences between remote and in-person education, the DREAMS ( Developing a Research Participation Enhancement and Advocacy Training Program for Diverse Seniors) health seminar series compared in-person and remote learning groups to assess feasibility, satisfaction, adherence, health literacy, and cognitive outcomes. Research Design Nonrandomized two-arm interventions occurred remotely or in-person. About 130 diverse, older adults ( M age: 70.8 ± 9.2 years; in-person n = 95; remote, n = 35) enrolled. Data from 115 completers (In-person n = 80; Remote n = 35) were analyzed for performance outcomes. Feasibility, adherence, and satisfaction benchmarks were evaluated at baseline, immediately post intervention, and 8 weeks post intervention. Adjusting for baseline performances, outcomes on health literacy and cognitive measures were compared between groups after intervention (at posttest and at 8-week follow-up) using adjusted mean differences (β coefficients). Results Eighty in-person and all remote participants completed at least six modules. Both programs had high satisfaction, feasibility, and strong adherence. After adjusting for demographic covariates and baseline values, cognitive and motor cognitive measures between groups were domain specific (e.g., global cognition, executive function, spatial memory, mental tracking capacity, and cognitive integration). Discussion and Implications This work explores feasible measures of knowledge acquisition and its link to health literacy and cognitive outcomes. Identifying effective delivery methods may increase involvement in clinical research. Future studies may encourage remote learning for increased accessibility.

Introduction Child-centered play therapy (CCPT) is a practical and recommended non-medication intervention for children with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but the mechanism in between is unclear. Aim This study proposed to examine the effectiveness of CCPT on neuropsychological deficits and behavioral symptoms in ADHD. Methods Participants with ADHD diagnosis were referred from senior child and adolescent psychiatrists, and typical developmental children (TD) were recruited from community as a control group. All participants’ executive functions were evaluated using Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery. First of all, the participants were evaluated using Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) by their parents. The ADHD participants were assigned into CCPT (ADHDc) and waitlist (ADHDw) group; and the ADHDc group then received CCPT weekly for 12 sessions, while the ADHDw continuously received their regular treatment (i.e., medication treatment or other alternative treatments) as usual. Results Total 52 participants were recruited (17 with ADHD and 35 typically developed children, TD). The results showed that overall the ADHD groups had worse neuropsychological performance and more behavioural disturbance than did the TD ( ps < .05). After receiving the CCPT, the results showed that the ADHDc group had significant improvement in the cognitive flexibility ( p < .05); while the ADHDw group had no changes.

Objective To investigate incidence and prevalence of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) and association with interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) in a nationwide population-based study. Methods Patients with an incident diagnosis of SSc in 2000–2016 were identified in the Danish National Patient Registry and categorised based on diagnosis of ILD. Incidence- and prevalence proportions were calculated based on the annual population estimates. A cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between age, sex, region and marital status and presence of ILD. Results In total, 1869 patients with SSc were identified; 275 patients (14.7%) had SSc-ILD. The majority of patients were females (75.5%). The percentage of males was higher in SSc-ILD than in SSc alone (30.9% and 23.4%, p = 0.008). Median time from SSc to ILD diagnosis was 1.4 years (range 0–14.2). ILD was diagnosed from ≤4 years before to ≥7 years after SSc. Development of ILD was associated with male gender (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.15–2.66), age 41–50 (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.07–3.05) and residency in the North Denmark Region (HR 1.95, 9 5% CI 1.12–3.40). Mean annual incidence proportion of SSc was 2.9/100,000 and mean annual prevalence proportion was 16.8/100,000. The incidence remained stable, but prevalence proportion increased from 14.1 – 16.5/100,000 in 2000–2008 to 17.9–19.2/100,000 in 2009–2016. Conclusion The prevalence of SSc increased during the study period, while the incidence remained stable. The prevalence of SSc-ILD was 14.7% and thus less frequent than expected. Male sex and age between 41 and 50 years were associated with ILD.

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) promotes recovery after stroke in humans. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain to be elucidated. Animal models suggest tDCS effects on neuroinflammation, stem cell proliferation, neurogenesis, and neural plasticity. Objective In a longitudinal study, we employed tDCS in the subacute and chronic phase after experimental focal cerebral ischemia in mice to explore the relationship between functional recovery and cellular processes. Methods Mice received photothrombosis in the right motor cortex, verified by Magnetic Resonance Imaging. A composite neuroscore quantified subsequent functional deficits. Mice received tDCS daily: either 5 sessions from day 5 to 9, or 10 sessions with days 12 to 16 in addition. TDCS with anodal or cathodal polarity was compared to sham stimulation. Further imaging to assess proliferation and neuroinflammation was performed by immunohistochemistry at different time points and Positron Emission Tomography at the end of the observation time of 3 weeks. Results Cathodal tDCS at 198 kC/m2 (220 A/m2) between days 5 and 9 accelerated functional recovery, increased neurogenesis, decreased microglial activation, and mitigated CD16/32-expression associated with M1-phenotype. Anodal tDCS exerted similar effects on neurogenesis and microglial polarization but not on recovery of function or microglial activation. TDCS on days 12 to 16 after stroke did not induce any further effects, suggesting that the therapeutic time window was closed by then. Conclusion Overall, data suggest that non-invasive neuromodulation by tDCS impacts neurogenesis and microglial activation as critical cellular processes influencing functional recovery during the early phase of regeneration from focal cerebral ischemia.
