title: Systemic effects of nonylphenol on tadpoles of Lithobates catesbeianus: gonadal, genotoxic and color alterations

description: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are one of the most important factors contributing to worldwide amphibian decline, since they alter hormonal regulation and affects reproduction and development of organisms. The 4-nonylphenol (NP) is one of the mostly used strogenic agents. This substance is a product of the degradation of lubricants, antioxidants, detergents, paints, and pesticides such as insecticides and herbicides. Here, we tested the effects of NP on embryogenesis, blood cell abnormalities, and body color of Pre-metamorphic tadpoles of Lithobates catesbeianus. Animals were exposed during 14 days to two concentrations of NP. Even though most animals were females, with ovarian-like cavity, oocytes or oogonia, intersex tadpoles were observed in control and treated groups. We found atretic oocytes in animals exposed to NP, with nuclear picnosis, cytoplasmic retraction, and vacuolization. Nonylphenol seems to increase erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities, but differences between control and treated groups were not significant. Finally, NP exposure increased body darkness, developmental stage. Our results suggest that oogenesis in pre-metamorphic tadpoles of L. catesbeianus are altered by exposure to NP and that pigmentation can be used as biomarker for exposure to this compound.

title: Systemic effects of nonylphenol on tadpoles of Lithobates catesbeianus: gonadal, genotoxic and color alterations

description: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are one of the most important factors contributing to worldwide amphibian decline since they alter hormonal regulation, affecting reproduction and development of organisms. One of the most used estrogenic compounds is the 4-nonylphenol (NP), which is a degradation product of lubricants, antioxidants, detergents, paints, and pesticides such as insecticides and herbicides. Here, we conducted an experiment to test the effects of NP on oogenesis, blood cell abnormalities, and body darkness of pre-metamorphic tadpoles of Lithobates catesbeianus. Tadpoles were exposed for 14 days to three concentrations of NP (1 µg/L, 10 µg/L, and 100 µg/L). Even though most animals were females, with ovarian-like cavity, oocytes or oogonia, intersex tadpoles were observed in control and treated groups. We found atretic oocytes in treated groups, characterized by nuclear picnosis, cytoplasmic retraction, and vacuolization. We found that NP increased body darkness and that it had genotoxic effects, increasing the number of nuclear abnormalities in erythrocytes. These results suggest that oogenesis can be disrupted or altered by exposure to NP, and that pigmentation can be used as a biomarker of exposure to this compound.<br>

title: Supplementary Material for: Associations between Ischemic Stroke Follow-Up, Socioeconomic Status, and Adherence to Secondary Preventive Drugs in Southern Sweden: Observations from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke)

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Currently, the knowledge that one has on adequate stroke follow-up practices is limited. We report associations between 90-day stroke follow-up, socio-economy and adherence to secondary prevention in southern Sweden. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Data on 5,602 patients with ischemic stroke January 1, 2008-December 31, 2010, were obtained from Riksstroke and linked to official registers for information on education, birth country, doctor's follow-ups, and secondary prevention. Primary adherence at 4 months and persistence at 14 months post-stroke were calculated for warfarin, statins, antihypertensive, and antiplatelet drugs. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The 90-day follow-up rate was 75%. Patients not receiving a 90-day follow-up had lower age-adjusted OR of persistent drug use at 14 months for antihypertensive agents (OR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.60-0.91) and for antiplatelet drugs (OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.87). Drug adherence rates 14 months post-stroke were 85% for antiplatelet drugs, 69% for warfarin, 88% for antihypertensive agents, and 76% for statins. One in three patients discontinued using one or more drug class within 14 months, and nonadherence was associated with activities of daily living dependency at 3 months (age-adjusted OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.57-0.69), but not with age, gender, or educational status. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The use of secondary preventive drugs decreases over the first year after stroke and remains suboptimal. Specific reasons for nonadherence warrant further study.

title: Supplementary Material for: Effect of a Quality Improvement Program to Improve Guideline Adherence and Attainment of Clinical Standards in Dialysis Care: Report of Outcomes in Year 1

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Best practice in dialysis is synthesised in clear international guidelines. However, a large gap remains between the international guidelines and the actual delivery of care. In this paper, we report outcomes for the first year of a multifaceted dialysis improvement programme in our network. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> One year collaborative involving 3 haemodialysis units and a peritoneal dialysis (PD) programme involving 299 dialysis patients. Each unit addressed a different indicator (unit A - catheter-related bloodstream infection [CRBSI], unit B - pre-dialysis blood pressure [BP], unit C - dialysis dose, unit D - anaemia) with a shared aim to match the top 10% in the UK. Tailored multifaceted approaches include a modified collaborative methodology with an aim, framework, driver diagram, learning sessions, facilitated meetings, plan-do-study-act cycles and continuous measurement. Analysis of outcomes, costings, erythropoietin stimulating agent and iron use, and safety culture attributes. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Unit A reduced CRBSI from 2.65 to 0.5 per 1,000 catheter days (<i>p</i> = 0.02). Unit B improved attainment of target BP from 37.5 to 67.2% (<i>p</i> = 0.003). Unit C improved attainment of target urea reduction ratio from 75.8 to 91.4% (<i>p</i> = 0.04). PD unit D improved attainment of target haemoglobin from 45.5 to 62.7% (<i>p</i> = 0.01), with no significant change in the indicators in a non-intervention unit. Safety culture attributes improved. Costs associated with admission for fluid overload and infection, erythropoietin, iron and thrombokinase use decreased 36% (£415,620-£264,143). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Units that took part in this collaborative improved guideline adherence compared both to their own pre-intervention performance and a non-intervention unit. Such multifaceted interventions are a useful methodology to improve dialysis care.

title: Supplementary Material for: Prevalence of Impaired Kidney Function in the German Elderly: Results from the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II)

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> In aging populations with an ever-growing burden of risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is on the rise. However, little is known about its exact prevalence among elderly adults, and often albuminuria is not included in the definition of CKD. Moreover, novel equations for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have recently emerged, which have not been applied comprehensively to older adults. Data on CKD awareness among the elderly are sparse. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To determine the prevalence of CKD among older adults by eGFR and albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), compare the performance of 6 established and novel eGFR formulas, explore risk factors, and determine the awareness of CKD in a large cohort of community-dwelling elderly from Germany. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 1,628 subjects from the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II) were included in this analysis (mean age 68.7 years; 51.2% female). Extensive cross-sectional data on sociodemographics, lifestyle, medication, and diagnoses were inquired during structured interviews and a medical examination, and blood and urine parameters were measured. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In all, 77.1% of the subjects had hypertension, 12.4% had diabetes, and 18.3% were obese. The prevalence of CKD strongly depended on the eGFR equations used: 25.4% (full age spectrum [FAS] equation), 24.6% (Berlin Initiative Study), 23.1% (Lund-Malmö revised), 19.3% (Cockcroft-Gault), 16.4% (Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI]), and 14.7% (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD]). Of the subjects with an eGFR<sub>FAS</sub> &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> and/or an ACR &gt;30 mg/g, only 3.9% were aware of having CKD. Polypharmacy, age, BMI, coronary artery disease, non-HDL cholesterol, and female sex were independently associated with CKD. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> CKD is prevalent among older adults in Germany, but awareness is low. The FAS equation detects higher rates of CKD than MDRD and CKD-EPI, which are most widely used at present. Also, when CKD is defined based on eGFR and albuminuria, considerably more people are identified than by eGFR alone. Finally, polypharmacy is associated with an increased risk for CKD in the elderly.
