title: Supplementary Material for: An Early Unexpected Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Relapse Associated with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Case Report and Literature Review

description: SARS-CoV-2 has been reported as a possible triggering factor for the development of several autoimmune diseases and inflammatory dysregulation. Here, we present a case report of a woman with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome, presenting with concurrent COVID-19 infection and immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). The patient was treated with plasma exchange, steroids, and caplacizumab with initial good response to therapy. The course of both TTP and COVID-19 disease was mild. However, after ADAMTS-13 activity was normalized, the patient experienced an early unexpected TTP relapse manifested by intravascular hemolysis with stable platelet counts requiring further treatment. Only 3 cases of COVID-19 associated TTP were reported in the literature thus far. We summarize the literature and suggest that COVID-19 could act as a trigger for TTP, with good outcomes if recognized and treated early.

title: Supplementary Material for: Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis and Mortality Related to Infection in Patients on Combination Once-Weekly Hemodialysis with Peritoneal Dialysis

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Previous studies showed that the combination of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and once-weekly hemodialysis is associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. This study aimed to compare the incidence of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) and infection-related mortality among those on combination therapy and those on PD alone. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This prospective study on the Japanese Renal Data Registry included patients on PD from 2010 to 2014. Subjects were followed up until the end of 2015. Exposure of interest was combination therapy compared with PD alone. Patients who transitioned to combination therapy were matched with those on PD alone by propensity scores. Outcomes were EPS and infection-related mortality. Data were analyzed using Cox regression models. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among the matched cohort, 608 and 869 patients were on combination therapy and on PD alone, respectively. Dialysate-to-plasma creatinine (D/P Cr) ratio decreased over time among those on combination therapy, while the ratio increased among those on PD alone (<i>p</i> = 0.01 by the mixed-effects model). During a median follow-up of 2.5 years, 33 experienced EPS and 55 died of infection. Combination therapy was associated with lower infection-related mortality (HR [95% CI]: 0.52 [0.28–0.95]) but not with EPS (HR: 1.21 [0.61–2.40]). Lower mortality was not limited to intra-abdominal infection but also observed for pulmonary infection. Sensitivity analyses considering the effects of dialysis facilities yielded similar results. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Combination therapy was associated with lower infection-related mortality. It was also associated with a decline in the D/P Cr ratio over time but not with lower incidence of EPS during the short observation period.

title: Supplementary Material for: Rescue Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Meige Syndrome

description: Meige syndrome is a segmental form of dystonia. It is a disabling disease, especially when refractory to treatment with botulinum toxin. A well-established therapeutic option is deep brain stimulation (DBS), and the target in bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi DBS) demonstrated satisfactory short- and long-term efficacy. However, some patients present minor or suboptimal responses after GPi DBS, and in those cases, rescue DBS may be appropriate. The present case illustrates a good outcome after subthalamic nucleus (STN) and not after GPi DBS (considering that both were well positioned and had adequate programming). The larger dimension of the GPi and its somatotopic organization, with the stimulation outside the “face region,” could explain our outcomes.

title: Supplementary Material for: The Effect of Aging and Small-Vessel Disease Burden on Hematoma Location in Patients with Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating hemorrhagic event and is associated with high mortality or severe neurological sequelae. Age-associated differences in hematoma location for nonlobar ICH are not well known. The aims of the present study were to elucidate the relationship between age and hematoma location and to assess the differences in small-vessel disease (SVD) burden as a potential surrogate marker for longstanding hypertension among various hematoma locations. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> From September 2014 through July 2019, consecutive patients with acute, spontaneous ICH were retrospectively enrolled from a prospective registry. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed during admission, and the total SVD burden score (including microbleeds, lacunes, enlarged perivascular spaces, and white matter hyperintensities) was calculated. The relationships of hematoma location with aging and SVD burden were assessed by using multivariate logistic regression analyses. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 444 patients (156 women [35%]; median age 69 [interquartile range 59–79] years; National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 9 [17][3–17]) were enrolled in the present study. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that advanced age was independently associated with thalamic (odds ratio [OR]: 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19–1.84, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001 for 10-year increment) and lobar hemorrhage (OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.19–2.09, <i>p</i> = 0.002) and was independently and negatively related to putaminal hemorrhage (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.44–0.68, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). The total SVD burden score was independently and positively associated with thalamic hemorrhage (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.01–1.59, <i>p</i> = 0.045) and negatively with lobar hemorrhage (OR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.55–0.99, <i>p</i> = 0.042), even after adjusting by age, but not with putaminal hemorrhage (OR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.73–1.14, <i>p</i> = 0.395). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Putaminal, thalamic, and lobar hemorrhages are prone to occur in specific ages and SVD states: putaminal in young patients, thalamic in old and high SVD burden patients, and lobar hemorrhages in old and low SVD burden patients. Susceptibility to bleeding with aging or severe SVD accumulation seems to differ considerably among brain locations.

title: Supplementary Material for: Prognostic Value of Early Magnetic Resonance Imaging Patterns in Sudden Hearing Loss

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is a relatively frequent disease, but a sensitive marker or a reliable test to identify the underlying cause is still unavailable. Neuroradiology appears to offer the most promising tools, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In a recent study from our group, we explored the ability of MRI to detect subtle changes in the inner ear compartments by means of a 3D-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence, aiming at identifying 3 distinct MRI patterns (haemorrhagic, inflammatory, brain-labyrinth barrier breakdown). In the present study, we contrasted the MRI patterns at onset with relevant prognostic factors, with the audiological features of each patient’s SSHL and with treatment outcomes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this retrospective study, we enrolled 50 adult subjects (54.61 ± 18.26 years) with SSHL. They underwent an MRI within 72 h from admission, and 5 audiological evaluations: at admission, on the 5th day after the start of medical therapy, at the end of the first cycle of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, then 1 and 6 months later. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Abnormalities of the MRI signal and/or post-contrast enhancement asymmetry of the cochlea (“pattern+ MRI”) correlated with worse audiological outcomes at 1 month, but the different MRI patterns were not correlated with any specific prognostic model, despite rigid protocol settings. However, a significant difference was found for low-tone SSHL, which were always “pattern<i>”</i> negative at MRI (<i>p</i> = 0.01), and for profound SSHL which demonstrated a pattern+ MRI in 80% (<i>p</i> = 0.04). At the onset of SSHL, a pattern+ MRI was found in 29/50 cases (58.0%) and was related with lesser degree of recovery of pure-tone average at 1 month and lesser chance to retain the hearing threshold benefit in the long term. Given the limited numbers of patients enrolled so far, the relative impact of comorbidities on each MRI pattern remains uncertain. At 6 months, we observed a trend of greater and more stable recovery (<i>p</i> = 0.023) and less frequent recurrence of SSHL in patients with a normal MRI. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The 3 observed MRI patterns did not correlate consistently with specific audio-vestibular features or any peculiar aspect of the patient’s clinical history. Larger series of patients with SSHL are needed, possibly from multicentric studies.

title: Discrete water samples for biogeochemical parameters collected in line with autonomous surface vehicle C-worker 4 sensor data in Belize's coastal zone - October 2019.

description: The aim of this campaign was to understand and identify controls on biogeochemistry of Belize's coastal zone and the influence of the Belize river. Data were collected in October 2019 over five days - during daylight hours, with the aim of capturing wet season influence of the river, however Belize experienced a drought. Data were collected to enhance and calibrate data collected by the Autonomous Surface Vehicle C-worker 4 as part Commonwealth Marine Economies Programme Belize (CMEP Belize). Discrete water samples were collected for dissolved O2, chlorophyll, nutrients, DOC, absorbance, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM), Total Alkalinity (TA), Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC), δ13CDIC and Particulate Organic Carbon (POC). All samples were collected using a 5L Niskin at ~0.5 m depth - the depth of C-worker 4 sensors. Dissolved O2, absorbance and chlorophyll samples were run in country by Sarah and Millie by Winkler Method, Spectrophotometry Absorbance and Fluorescence respectively. Samples for nutrients, DOC, FDOM, TA, DIC, δ13CDIC, POC were transported back to the UK for analysis. Both frozen (nutrients) and refrigerated samples (DOC and FDOM) were transported back to the UK in cool bags with frozen samples defrosting enroute back to the UK in preparation for immediate analysis. DOM, TA, DIC, δ13CDIC and POC are still waiting for analysis. Absorbance was run a second time back in the UK at the same time as FDOM (both absorbance runs are included).

title: Data set for "A Billion Ways to Grasp: An Evaluation of Grasp Sampling Schemes on a Dense, Physics-Based Grasp Data Set"

description: Robot grasping is often formulated as a learning problem. With the increasing speed and quality of physics simulations, generating large-scale grasping data sets that feed learning algorithms is becoming more and more popular. An often overlooked question is how to generate the grasps that make up these data sets. In this paper, we review, classify, and compare different grasp sampling strategies. Our evaluation is based on a fine-grained discretization of SE(3) and uses physics-based simulation to evaluate the quality and robustness of the corresponding parallel-jaw grasps. Specifically, we consider more than 1 billion grasps for each of the 21 objects from the YCB data set. This dense data set lets us evaluate existing sampling schemes w.r.t. their bias and efficiency. Our experiments show that some popular sampling schemes contain significant bias and do not cover all possible ways an object can be grasped.

title: Supplementary Material for: Small Airway Dysfunction in Asthma Is Associated with Perceived Respiratory Symptoms, Non-Type 2 Airway Inflammation, and Poor Responses to Therapy

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Emerging evidence has indicated that small airway dysfunction (SAD) contributes to the clinical expression of asthma. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim of the study was to explore the relationships of SAD assessed by forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% (FEF<sub>25–75</sub>%), with clinical and inflammatory profile and treatment responsiveness in asthma. <b><i>Method:</i></b> In study I, dyspnea intensity (Borg scale), chest tightness, wheezing and cough (visual analog scales, VASs), and pre- and post-methacholine challenge testing (MCT) were analyzed in asthma patients with SAD and non-SAD. In study II, asthma subjects with SAD and non-SAD underwent sputum induction, and inflammatory mediators in sputum were detected. Asthma patients with SAD and non-SAD receiving fixed treatments were prospectively followed up for 4 weeks in study III. Spirometry, Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), and Asthma Control Test (ACT) were carried out to define treatment responsiveness. <b><i>Results:</i></b> SAD subjects had more elevated ΔVAS for dyspnea (<i>p</i> = 0.027) and chest tightness (<i>p</i> = 0.032) after MCT. Asthma patients with SAD had significantly elevated interferon (IFN)-γ in sputum (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05), and Spearman partial correlation found FEF<sub>25–75</sub>% significantly related to IFN-γ and interleukin-8 (both having <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, multivariable regression analysis indicated SAD was significantly associated with worse treatment responses (decrease in ACQ ≥0.5 and increase in ACT ≥3) (<i>p</i> = 0.022 and <i>p</i> = 0.032). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This study indicates that SAD in asthma predisposes patients to greater dyspnea intensity and chest tightness during bronchoconstriction. SAD patients with asthma are characterized by non-type 2 inflammation that may account for poor responsiveness to therapy.

title: Supplementary Material for: Comparison of Surgical Resection and Systemic Treatment for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Vascular Invasion: National Cancer Database Analysis

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Small studies from outside of the USA suggest excellent outcomes after surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with vascular invasion. The study aims to (1) compare overall survival after surgical resection and systemic therapy among patients with HCC and vascular invasion and (2) determine factors associated with receipt of surgical resection in a US population. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> HCC patients with AJCC clinical TNM stage 7th T3BN0M0 diagnosed between 2010 and 2017 from the National Cancer Database were analyzed. Cox and logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with overall survival and receipt of surgical resection. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 11,259 patients with T3BN0M0 HCC, 325 (2.9%) and 4,268 (37.9%) received surgical resection and systemic therapy, respectively. In multivariable analysis, surgical resection was associated with improved survival compared to systemic therapy (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.496, 95% confidence interval: 0.426–0.578) with a median survival of 21.4 and 8.1 months, respectively. Superiority of surgical resection was observed in noncirrhotic and cirrhotic subgroups and propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting adjusted analysis. Asians were more likely to receive surgical resection, whereas Charlson comorbidity ≥3, elevated alpha-fetoprotein, smaller tumor size, care in a community cancer program, and the South or West region were associated with a lower likelihood of surgical resection. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> HCC patients with vascular invasion may benefit from surgical resection compared to systemic therapies. Demographic and clinical features of HCC patients and region and type of treating facility were associated with surgical resection versus systemic treatment.
