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.

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.

description: Demand side response (DSR) provides a flexible approach to managing constrained power network assets. This is valuable if future asset utilization is uncertain. However there may be uncertainty over the process of procurement of DSR from customers. In this context we combine probabilistic modelling, simulation and optimization to identify economically optimal procurement policies from heterogeneous customers local to the asset, under chance constraints on the adequacy of the procured DSR. Mathematically this gives rise to a search over permutations, and we provide an illustrative example implementation and case study.This article is part of the themed issue ‘Energy management: flexibility, risk and optimization’.

title: Efficacy of endoscopic transantral versus transorbital surgical approaches in the repair of orbital blowout fractures: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

description: Background: Repair of orbital blowout fractures faces a lot of complications and difficulties to restore and reconstruct the exact positionof the orbital bony skeleton especially at the orbital rims, and also a difficulty in restoring the functions of the orbital soft contents such as the muscles, the globe and the lacrimal system.Methods/Design: This prospective randomized controlled trial with a two-arm, parallel-group structure evaluating the efficacy of endoscopic transantral surgical versus traditional transorbital surgical approaches in the treatment of orbital blowout fractures will be conducted at Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. Thirty-eight patients with diplopia due to orbital blowout fracture will be recruited. All patients will undergo CT, pulse test, and forced duction test. The primary outcome measure is the diplopia resolution detected intraoperatively via forced duction test. The secondary outcomes include the enophthalmos correction, preservation of orbital floor periosteum and exacting/equalization of the injured bony level on the non-injured side.Discussion: The results of the trial will support better decision-making for surgical treatment in orbital blowout fractures.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03011047 registered on January 4, 2017.Ethics: This protocol and the template informed consent form was approved by the Ethics Committee of Scientific Research, Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt (February 2017).Informed consent: Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to the trial.<br>doi: 10.4103/2542-4157.207016How to cite this article: Awad NM, Shindy IE, Hossameldin R.

title: Assessment of dysarthria with Frenchay dysarthria assessment (FDA-2) in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

description: The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Japanese version of Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment (FDA-2) and to use this tool to describe the features of speech in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The Japanese version of FDA-2 was culturally adapted, and reliability and validity were examined in 22 and 50 patients, respectively. The Japanese version of FDA-2 was administered to 51 patients with DMD. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors related to FDA-2 scores. Inter-/intra-rater reliabilities (ICCs) and internal consistency (Cronbach’s α) for total scores were 0.76, 0.97, and 0.94 respectively. For construct validity, two-way ANOVA showed a significant interaction between the disorders and FDA-2 sections (<i>p</i> The results showed that the Japanese version of FDA-2 has satisfactory reliability and validity.

title: Reliability and construct validity of the Walking Adaptability Ladder Test for Kids (WAL-K): a new clinical test for measuring walking adaptability in children

description: Walking adaptability is essential for children to participate in daily life, but no objective measurement tools exist. We determined psychometric properties of the Walking Adaptability Ladder test for Kids (WAL-K) in 6-12 year old children. In total, 122 typically developing (TD) children and 26 children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) completed the single and double run conditions of the WAL-K. Intra-rater, inter-rater and test-retest reliability were determined by ICCs and Smallest Detectable Change (SDC) in 53 TD children. Construct validity was determined by comparing WAL-K scores between 69 TD and all DCD children and correlating these scores with age and MABC-2 scores. ICCs for reliability varied between 0.76 and 0.99. Compared to the first test performance, WAL-K scores were lower (i.e., better) at retest. SDCs for test-retest reliability varied between 20.8 and 26.1% of the mean scores. WAL-K scores were significantly higher (i.e., worse) in DCD children compared to TD children (<i>p</i> The WAL-K shows to be a valid, reliable and easy-to-use tool for measuring walking adaptability in children.
