title: Supplementary Material for: Relationship between the ratio of red cell distribution width to albumin and 28-day mortality among Chinese patients over 80 years with atrial fibrillation

description: Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent heart arrhythmia in elderly adults aged 80 years or older. The red cell distribution width to albumin ratio has been acknowledged as a reliable prognostic marker for poor outcomes in a variety of disorders. However, there exists limited scientific evidence on the association of red cell distribution width to albumin (RAR) with mortality in geriatric individuals with AF. Methods: From January 2015 to June 2020, a retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary academic institution that diagnosed 1141 elderly adults with atrial fibrillation (AF). The RAR value was calculated as the ratio of RDW (%) to albumin (g/dL). The potential association between RAR and cardiovascular mortality and the risk of all-cause mortality within 28 days was evaluated by means of multivariable Cox regression analysis. Results: The 28-day all-cause and cardiovascular mortality rates were 8.7% and 3.3%, respectively. Increased RAR tertiles were found to be significantly associated with greater all-cause mortality (T1: 1.6%; T2: 6.2%; T3: 18.1%, P &lt; 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (T1: 0.8%; T2: 2.9%; T3: 6.3%, P &lt; 0.001) using Kaplan‒Meier analysis. Continuous RAR had a positive association with all-cause mortality (HR=1.42, 95% CI 1.23-1.65) and cardiovascular mortality (HR=1.31, 95% CI 1.05-1.64), even after accounting for numerous confounding variables. In comparison to the T1 group, individuals with the highest RAR levels displayed a greater risk of all-cause mortality (HR=2.73, 95% CI 1.11-6.74) and cardiovascular mortality (HR=2.59, 95% CI 0.69-9.78). Increased RAR levels were related to higher rates of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality across almost all subgroups. Conclusion: RAR is independently correlated with 28-day all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in AF-affected individuals aged ≥ 80.

title: Supplementary Material for: RUPTURED GASTRODUODENAL ARTERY PSEUDOANEURYSMS AS A COMPLICATION OF PANCREATITIS

description: Visceral Artery Pseudoaneurysms is a rare vascular complication of pancreatitis that can lead to life-threatening hemorrhages with a high mortality rate if left untreated. We present a case of ruptured gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm in a 68-year-old male with acute pancreatitis presenting with fatal gastrointestinal and retroperitoneal bleeding that was successfully managed with endovascular coil embolization of the involved vasculature. Patients with hemorrhagic pancreatitis or those presenting with unexplained retroperitoneal or gastrointestinal bleeding in the setting of pancreatitis with an unexplained drop in hematocrit or sudden expansion of pancreatic fluid collection should be screened in a timely manner for pseudoaneurysm using CT angiogram of the abdomen, which is the gold standard imaging modality to identify pseudoaneurysms. Once pseudoaneurysm is diagnosed, it should be treated immediately. Endovascular treatment options are now favored over surgical options in most cases.

title: Supplementary Material for: Utilizing Reduced Labeled Proton Clearance to Identify Preclinical Alzheimer Disease with 3D ASL MRI

description: ABSTRACT Addressing the seminal pathophysiology in Alzheimer disease (AD) is the next logical focus for effective intervention, given the initial disappointing and more recent possibly encouraging results of monoclonal antibody trials. Endothelial cell dysfunction induced blood brain barrier leak (BBB) with associated prolonged capillary mean transit time (cMTT) and glymphatic outflow dysfunction are the most proximal events in the degeneration cascade. Sensitive and reproducible markers are required to both identify early disease and assess future treatment trial outcomes. Two participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and one with AD, were evaluated clinically prior to MRI in this small case series report. From seven 3D Turbo Gradient and Spin Echo (TGSE) Pulsed Arterial Spin Echo (PASL) MRI sequences six homologous region of interest (ROI) in bitemporal, bifrontal, and biparietal lobes for each sequence were examined and plotted against time. By choosing late perfusion times during cMTT phase of perfusion linear analysis of signal decay could be utilized. A reference axial FLAIR sequence was also obtained. Slope of the linear analysis correlated to the rate of labeled proton clearance with reduced clearance occurring in AD participants compared to normal participants in our previous study. Whether similar differences in clearance rate extends to either MCI or early AD was investigated. Participants were categorized by clinical phenotype before MRI and compared to previously published phenotype cohorts: n=18 normal/healthy, n=6 AD, n=3 MCI. Significant differences in labeled proton clearance rates between AD and MCI/control phenotypes within bilateral temporal lobes (Left p=0.004, Right p=0.002) and within bilateral frontal lobes AD vs. controls (Left p=0.001, Right p=0.008) and AD vs. MCI (Left p=0.001, Right p=0.001) were found. This non-invasive MRI technique has potential for identifying MCI transition to AD.

title: Supplementary Material for: Impact of medical and surgical obesity treatment on dental caries: A two-year prospective cohort study

description: The objective was to study the long-term effects on oral health of bariatric surgery compared with medical treatment of obesity. Swedish females with morbid obesity (n = 66;18-35 years at baseline) were followed prospectively from before obesity treatment until two years after treatment. The main response variable was dental caries registered according to the ICDAS-II system. Possible confounding caused by sociodemographic characteristics, general health, oral health habits and oral hygiene was controlled for. The statistical methods included Chi-square tests, Student’s t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Wilcoxon’s non-parametric tests and linear regression models. In the surgically treated patients (n = 40), a significant increase over time in enamel caries (mean increase 4.13 tooth surfaces ICDAS1-2), dentine caries (mean increase 2.18 tooth surfaces ICDAS3-6), and total caries (mean increase 6.30 tooth surfaces ICDAS1-6) was registered (all p &lt; 0.001), which was not seen in the medically treated patients (n=26). However, the difference between the treatment groups (surgical or medical) was only statistically significant for enamel caries (crude β 4.89, p=0.003) and total caries (crude β 6.53, p&lt;0.001). The relationships were stable and independent of differences in confounders as socioeconomy, general health and oral health behaviors. In conclusion, two years after obesity treatment, a significant increase in dental caries was registered in the surgically treated but not in the medically treated women. The dental service should intensify its preventive efforts in individuals undergoing obesity treatment.

title: Supplementary Material for: Validation of an automated speech analysis of cognitive tasks within a semi-automated phone assessment

description: Introduction. We studied the accuracy of the automatic speech recognition (ASR) software by comparing ASR scores with manual scores from a Verbal Learning Test (VLT) and a Semantic Verbal Fluency task (SVF) in a semi-automated phone assessment in a memory clinic population. Furthermore, we examined the differentiating value of these tests between participants with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). We also investigated whether the automatically calculated speech and linguistic features had an additional value compared to the commonly used total scores in a semi-automated phone assessment. Methods. We included 94 participants from the memory clinic of the Maastricht University Medical Center+ (SCD N=56 and MCI N=38). The test leader guided the participant through a semi-automated phone assessment. The VLT and SVF were audio recorded and processed via a mobile application. The recall count and speech and linguistic features were automatically extracted. The diagnostic groups were classified by training machine learning classifiers to differentiate SCD and MCI participants. Results. The intraclass correlation for inter-rater reliability between the manual and the ASR total word count was 0.89 (95% CI 0.09-0.97) for the VLT immediate recall, 0.94 (95% CI 0.68-0.98) for the VLT delayed recall, and 0.93 (95% CI 0.56-0.97) for the SVF. The full model including the total word count and speech and linguistic features had an Area Under the Curve of 0.81 and 0.77 for the VLT immediate and delayed recall, respectively, and 0.61 for the SVF. Conclusion. There was a high agreement between the ASR and manual scores, keeping the broad confidence intervals in mind. The phone based VLT was able to differentiate between SCD and MCI and can have opportunities for clinical trial screening

title: Supplementary Material for: ALLOSTATIC LOAD IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

description: Introduction: The concept of allostatic load encompasses the cumulative effects of both ordinary daily life events as well as major challenges, and also includes related health-damaging behavior. Allostatic overload ensues when environmental challenges exceed the individual’s ability to cope. Identification of allostatic load is carried out through the use of biomarkers and clinimetric criteria. Studies are increasingly reporting on allostatic load in younger populations, yet a systematic review is missing. Objective: The aim of the present systematic review was to summarize the current knowledge on allostatic load/overload among children and adolescents. Methods: PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to April 2023. A manual search of the literature was also performed. We considered only studies in which allostatic load or overload were adequately described and assessed in either clinical or non-clinical populations younger than 18 years. Results: A total of 38 original investigations were included in this systematic review. Studies reported an association between allostatic load and sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., poverty, ethnicity, perceived discrimination, adverse childhood experiences) and environmental factors, as well as consequences of allostatic load on both physical and mental health among children and adolescents. Conclusions: The findings indicate that greater allostatic load is associated with poorer health outcomes in both clinical and non-clinical pediatric populations, with possible enduring effects. The results support the clinical utility of the transdiagnostic identification of allostatic load and overload in children and adolescents across a variety of settings, with a number of potential clinical implications.

title: Supplementary Material for: Effects of Yoga Training Applied with Telerehabilitation on Core Stabilization and Physical Fitness in Junior Tennis Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial

description: Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effects of yoga training applied with telerehabilitation on core stability, and strength, balance, flexibility, upper extremity stability, body awareness, and quality of life in tennis players aged 6-18 years. Methods: Forty tennis players were randomly divided into two groups to participate in this study. The control group (n=20) continued tennis training and was informed about the importance of the core region. The yoga group (n=20) received yoga training with telerehabilitation 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Athletes were evaluated with sport-specific core muscle strength and stability tests, the back scratch test, the sit and reach test, the flamingo balance test, the y-balance test (lower quarter), the upper extremity closed kinetic chain stability test, the SF-36, and body awareness questionnaires. Measurements have been done in the tennis club before and after the 8 weeks of training. Results: A significant increase was determined in core strength and stability, sit and reach, back scratch test, upper extremity stability, and body awareness questionnaire in the yoga group (p&lt;0.001). Flamingo, and Y balance test results were significant (p&lt;0.002). Positive improvements were found in SF-36's energy-fatigue level, mental well-being, social function (p&lt;0.042), pain (p&lt;0.005), and general health (p&lt;0.001). A significant increase was observed in the core strength measurement mean score in the control group (p&lt;0.018). Sit and reach test, flamingo test, and body awareness questionnaire were found to be significant after the application (p&lt;0.001). Significant improvements were found in the pain (p&lt;0.042), and mental well-being (p&lt;0.001) sub-parameters of the SF-36. Discussion/Conclusion: In the study, it was concluded that yoga training applied with telerehabilitation in tennis players aged 6–18 has a positive effect on core strength, and stabilization, physical fitness parameters, quality of life, and body awareness.

title: PML-V2 China staple crop (maize, wheat, rice) evapotranspiration, gross primary production and yield over 2003-2018

description: This dataset provides the yearly evapotranspiration (ET), gross primary production (GPP) and yield of the three staple crops (i.e., maize, wheat and rice) of China from 2003 to 2018. ET and GPP are estimated by the Penman-Monteith-Leuning version 2 model (PML-V2 model), and crop yield is the product of GPP and harvest index. The units of ET, GPP and yield are mm year<sup>-1</sup>, g C m<sup>-2</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> and kg ha<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The PML-V2 model is calibrated and validated against the observed ET and GPP at EC sites for each crop type. The PML_V2 model uses CMFD meteorological drive and MODIS leaf area index (LAI), reflectivity (Albedo), emissivity (Emissivity) as inputs, and finally obtains PML_V2 crop evapotranspiration, gross primary production datasets. The data format is tiff, the spatiotemporal resolution is yearly and 0.0125°, and the time span is 2003-2018. The file name is "crop_variable_year.tif". For example, a file named Maize_ETsum_2003.tif corresponds to the total ET of maize in 2003.

title: Supplementary Material for: Retroperitoneal and mediastinal emphysema after sigmoid colon resection

description: Retroperitoneal and mediastinal emphysema after colon resection is extremely rare, especially in the absence of anastomotic leakage. The feasibility and safety of conservative treatment for this complication is unknown. We report a patient who underwent open sigmoid colon resection for colon cancer and developed retroperitoneal and mediastinal emphysema that was not caused by anastomotic leakage. Retroperitoneal and mediastinal emphysema occurred as a result of diverticular perforation. We were able to treat this patient successfully with conservative management.

title: Supplementary Material for: Vincristine-Induced Seizure from Drug Interactions: A Case Report and Review of Literature

description: Vincristine (VCR) as a key drug for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with neurotoxicity. We present a young man with a history of controlled childhood seizures who was diagnosed with pre-B-cell ALL and developed generalized tonic-clonic seizures following the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 8811 regimen. The patient also received oral itraconazole to prevent fungal infection initiated by chemotherapy. Possible causes of seizure, including electrolyte abnormalities, hypoglycemia, central nervous system infection or inflammation, were ruled out. According to the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Scale, the patient’s seizure had been attributed to VCR, possibly secondary to concomitant use of itraconazole and doxorubicin. The patient successfully recovered after discontinuation of VCR and supportive care. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of vincristine-induced seizure in adult patients, especially with the concomitant use of drugs known to have potential drug-drug interactions.

title: Supplementary Material for: Desmoplastic Fibroma of the Phalanx of the Hand: A Rare Case Report

description: Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare primary benign bone tumour that typically affects the long bones, mandible, and pelvis. It has a similar local aggressiveness to soft tissue fibromatosis. It rarely involves the small bones of the hand. We describe an extremely rare case of desmoplastic fibroma of the proximal phalanx of the hand in a patient who presented with an aggressively enlarging but painless mass on the left ring finger. Radiological features suggested malignancy; however, an initial biopsy revealed fibrotic tissue. Trans-metacarpal amputation of the ring and little fingers and soft tissue reconstruction were performed using a local ulnar-based flap of the little finger. The final histopathological evaluation revealed desmoplastic fibroma. Aggressively growing masses in the hand should be treated according to a sarcoma management protocol, and desmoplastic fibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis.

title: Supplementary Material for: Genetic factors in familial manifestation of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma over two generations

description: Introduction: Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) is a rarely occurring lymphoid malignancy, which typically affects young adults and presents itself as an anterior mediastinal mass. Gene expression profiling, as well as somatic genetic analysis revealed that it is closely related to classical Hodgkin lymphoma, whereas morphologically it tends to resemble diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Familial clustering of PMBL is rare - only two reports have been published to date. While generally accepted that positive family history is associated with increased risk of developing a lymphoma, genetic risk factors, which might predispose to PMBL are largely unknown. Case presentation: We performed germline and tumor genetic analysis by whole exome sequencing and array-CGH of a family, in which the father and the son both developed a PMBL. Germline investigations of both affected patients and of their two unaffected family members has not been able to provide a single risk factor associated with lymphoma predisposition. In addition, genes that were previously implicated in increased risk for PMBL, namely MLL (KMT2A) and TIRAP, were found to be intact in all investigated family members. Somatic genetic investigations identified known as well as novel genetic aberrations in tumors of affected subjects. Discussion/Conclusion: We conclude that predisposition to a PMBL might be inherited through a combination of low- or moderate-risk factors and provide a shortlist of most likely selected candidates, which can be used in future studies.

title: Supplementary Material for: Leisure-time television viewing and computer use, family history, and incidence of dementia

description: Background & Objectives: Time spent on screen-based sedentary activities are significantly associated with dementia risk, however, whether the associations vary by family history (FHx) of dementia is currently unknown. We aimed to examine independent associations of two prevalent types of screen-based sedentary activities (television [TV] viewing and computer use) with dementia and assess the modifying effect of FHx. Methods: We included 415,048 individuals free of dementia from the UK Biobank. Associations of TV viewing, computer use, and FHx with dementia risk were determined using Cox regression models. We estimated both multiplicative- and additive-scale interactions between TV viewing and computer use and FHx. Results: During a median follow-up of 12.6 years, 5,549 participants developed dementia. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, we observed that moderate (2-3 h/day; hazard ratio [HR] 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03-1.23) and high (&gt;3 h/day; 1.33, 1.21-1.46) TV viewing was associated with a higher dementia risk, compared with low (0-1 h/day) TV viewing. Using restricted cubic spline models, the relationship of TV viewing with dementia was nonlinear (relative to 0 hour/day; P for nonlinear = 0.005). We found that &gt;3 h/day of TV viewing was associated with a 42% (1.42, 1.18-1,71) higher dementia risk in participants with FHx while a 30% (1.30, 1.17-1.45) in those without FHx. For computer use, both low (0h/day; 1.41, 1.33-1.50) and high (&gt;2h/day; 1.17, 1.05-1.29) computer use were associated with elevated dementia risk, compared with moderate (1-2h/day) computer use. We observed a J-shaped relationship with dementia (relative to 2 hour/day; P for nonlinear &lt; 0.001). Compared with 1-2h/day of computer use, the HRs of dementia were 1.46 (1.29-1.65) and 1.10 (0.90-1.36) for 0h/day and &gt;2h/day of computer use in participants with FHx respectively; while the corresponding HRs were 1.40 (1.30-1.50) and 1.19 (1.06-1.33) in those without FHx. We observed a positive additive interaction (RERI 0.29, 0.06-0.53) between computer use and FHx, while little evidence of interaction between TV viewing and FHx. Conclusions: The adverse effects of time spent on TV viewing or computer use and FHx were independent on dementia risk. Our findings point to new behavioral targets for intervention on preventing an early onset of dementia, especially for those with FHx.
