title: Daily use of sildenafil 50mg at night effectively ameliorates nocturia in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia: an exploratory multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study

description: <i>Purpose</i>: To compare the efficacy and safety of sildenafil 25 mg qd, 25 mg bid or 50 mg qd – on treating lower urinary tract symptoms with benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH). <i>Materials and methods</i>: Men aged &gt; 45 years with LUTS/BPH were randomly assigned to receive sildenafil 25 mg qd (<i>n = </i>42), bid (<i>n = </i>41), 50 mg qd (<i>n = </i>38) or placebo (<i>n = </i>41) for 8 weeks. Changes from baseline in International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) were assessed at week 4 and week 8. <i>Results</i>: Sildenafil 25 mg qd (-7.3 ± 5.8) and 25 mg bid (-7.0 ± 5.7) exhibited significant improvements of I-PSS compared to placebo (-5.2 ± 6.4) (<i>p = </i>0.020, 0.025, respectively). In particular, voiding domain was more affected than storage domain. Only sildenafil 50 mg qd improved nocturia significantly (versus placebo, <i>p = </i>0.027). Quality of life score was improved in all treatment groups. <i>Q</i><sub>max</sub> and PVR did not change significantly in all groups. All regimens were well tolerated. <i>Conclusions</i>: Sildenafil 25 mg qd, 25 mg bid and 50 mg qd are safe and effective to improve LUTS/BPH in long term, along with coexisting ED. In particular, nocturia is most well-controlled by 50 mg qd.

title: Sea-ice area variability and trends in Arctic sectors of different morphology, 1996–2015

description: This study presents a comparison of the sea-ice cover of the whole Arctic Ocean with two arctic sectors of different morphology: the Greenland Sea, as a typical “open sea”, and the Beaufort Sea, as a typical “closed sea”. The study refers to the period January 1996–December 2015 and makes use of the Arctic sea-ice concentration data set produced, on a daily basis, by the Institute of Environmental Physics of the University of Bremen. From the whole Arctic data set, two subsets, covering the Greenland Sea and the Beaufort Sea, were extracted. The extent of sea-ice cover was obtained by the sea-ice area (SIA) parameter, which was computed according to the conventional NASA method. Our analysis shows that the strong summer decline of the Arctic SIA in the last 20 years is not observed in the Greenland Sea (the trend of SIA minimum values is ) while it is even greater in the Beaufort Sea.

We propose OMPT extensions that provide the missing descriptions of task creation and parallel for-loop chunk scheduling events, making OMPT a sufficient, standard source for grain graphs. Our extensions adhere to OMPT design objectives and incur up to 2% overhead for BOTS and SPEC OMP2012 programs. Although motivated by grain graphs, the events described by the extensions are general and can enable cost-effective, precise measurements in other profiling tools as well.

title: PowerPoint Slides for: Impact of Diabetes on Extracellular Volume Status in Patients Initiating Peritoneal Dialysis

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Recent reports have highlighted that diabetic patients with kidney failure are at increased risk of technique failure and transfer to haemodialysis within 90 days of initiating peritoneal dialysis (PD). We wished to determine whether there were differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients within the first 3 months of starting PD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We reviewed results of corresponding bioimpedance and the 1st test of peritoneal membrane function (PET) in consecutive patients, 6-10 weeks after initiating PD electively. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Adult patients numbering 386 - 230 males (59.6%), 152 (39.4%) diabetic, 188 (48.7%) white, mean age 57.3 ±16.9 years - were studied. Although weight, residual renal function and peritoneal clearances were not different, diabetic patients had greater extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW; 40.4 ± 1.1 vs. 39.2 ± 1.4) and % ECW excess (9.6 [6.3-12.3] vs. 4.9 [0.7-8.9]), lower serum albumin (35.2 ± 4.7 vs. 37.8 ± 4.9 g/L), greater fat mass index (9.5 ± 4.2 vs. 7.7 ± 4.2), and although mean arterial blood pressure was similar, arterial pulse pressure was greater (66.9 ± 10.8 vs. 54.3 ± 17.3 mm Hg, all <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). On multivariate analysis, glycated haemoglobin was associated with pulse pressure (standardised β 0.24, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), N terminal brain natriuretic peptide (β 0.24, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), ECW/TBW (β 0.19, <i>p</i> = 0.012) and negatively with serum albumin (β -0.14, <i>p</i> = 0.033) and creatinine (β -0.18, <i>p</i> = 0.02). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Diabetic patients electively starting PD were found to have greater ECW/TBW ratios and ECW excess 6-10 weeks after starting PD compared to non-diabetics, despite similar PET. Increased ECW could predispose diabetic patients to be at greater risk of volume overload.

title: Supplementary Material for: Prognostic Accuracy of Mild Cognitive Impairment Subtypes at Different Cut-Off Levels

description: <b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> The prognostic accuracy of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in clinical settings is debated, variable across criteria, cut-offs, subtypes, and follow-up time. We aimed to estimate the prognostic accuracy of MCI and the MCI subtypes for dementia using three different cut-off levels. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Memory clinic patients were followed for 2 (<i>n</i> = 317, age 63.7 ± 7.8) and 4-6 (<i>n</i> = 168, age 62.6 ± 7.4) years. We used 2.0, 1.5, and 1.0 standard deviations (SD) below the mean of normal controls (<i>n</i> = 120, age 64.1 ± 6.6) to categorize MCI and the MCI subtypes. Prognostic accuracy for dementia syndrome at follow-up was estimated. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Amnestic multi-domain MCI (aMCI-md) significantly predicted dementia under all conditions, most markedly when speed/attention, language, or executive function was impaired alongside memory. For aMCI-md, sensitivity increased and specificity decreased when the cut-off was lowered from 2.0 to 1.5 and 1.0 SD. Non-subtyped MCI had a high sensitivity and a low specificity. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our results suggest that aMCI-md is the only viable subtype for predicting dementia for both follow-up times. Lowering the cut-off decreases the positive predictive value and increases the negative predictive value of aMCI-md. The results are important for understanding the clinical prognostic utility of MCI, and MCI as a non-progressive disorder.

title: PowerPoint Slides for: Erythropoietin Hyporesponsiveness in Dialysis Patients: Possible Role of Statins

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Hypothesizing that statins may be useful as adjuvant treatment for renal anemia, we examined the association between statin prescription (Rx) and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) hyporesponsiveness in Japanese hemodialysis (HD) patients prescribed ESAs. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We examined 3,602 patients in 60 HD facilities dialyzed 3 times/week for ≥4 months from the Japan Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study phases 3-5 (2005-2015). Statin Rx was reported at the end of a 4-month interval (baseline) for each patient. ESA hyporesponsiveness in the subsequent 4 months was then defined as a binary indicator (mean hemoglobin [Hgb] level &lt;10 g/dL and mean ESA dose &gt;6,000 units/week) and separately as the ESA resistance index (ERI; mean ESA dose/[dry weight × mean Hgb]). We used adjusted logistic and linear regressions to evaluate the associations between statin Rx and ESA hyporesponsiveness. <b><i>Results:</i></b> At baseline, 16.2% of patients reported statin Rx; 12.8% were classified as having ESA hyporesponsiveness during 4 months of follow-up. Compared to patients without statin Rx, patients with statin Rx had lower odds of ESA hyporesponsiveness (OR 0.87; 95% CI 0.66-1.15). Similarly, the ERI was lower for those with statin Rx than without (ratio of means, 0.94; 95% CI 0.89-0.99) after adjustment for possible confounders. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Our results suggest that statins may slightly reduce ESA hyporesponsiveness in HD patients. However, any causal inference is limited by the observational study design and unmeasured compliance with statin Rx.
