PURPOSE: This study evaluated the ability of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 18F-Fluorothymidine (FLT) imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) to measure early response to endocrine therapy from baseline to just prior to surgical resection in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast tumors. METHODS: In two separate studies, women with early stage ER+ breast cancer underwent either paired FDG-PET (n = 22) or FLT-PET (n = 27) scans prior to endocrine therapy and again in the pre-operative setting. Tissue samples for Ki-67 were taken for all patients both prior to treatment and at the time of surgery. RESULTS: FDG maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) declined in 19 of 22 lesions (mean 17% (range -45 to 28%)). FLT SUVmax declined in 24 of 27 lesions (mean 26% (range -77 to 7%)). The Ki-67 index declined in both studies, from pre-therapy (mean 23% (range 1 to 73%)) to surgery [mean 8% (range < 1 to 41%)]. Pre- and post-therapy PET measures showed strong rank-order agreement with Ki-67 percentages for both tracers; however, the percent change in FDG or FLT SUVmax did not demonstrate a strong correlation with Ki-67 index change or Ki-67 at time of surgery. CONCLUSIONS: A window-of-opportunity approach using PET imaging to assess early response of breast cancer therapy is feasible. FDG and FLT-PET imaging following a short course of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy demonstrated measurable changes in SUVmax in early stage ER+ positive breast cancers. The percentage change in FDG and FLT-PET uptake did not correlate with changes in Ki-67; post-therapy SUVmax for both tracers was significantly associated with post-therapy Ki-67, an established predictor of endocrine therapy response.

Recovery Colleges (RCs) are learning-based mental health recovery communities, located globally. However, evidence on RC effectiveness outside Western, educated, industrialised, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) countries is limited. This study aimed to evaluate associations between cultural characteristics and RC fidelity, to understand how culture impacts RC operation. Service managers from 169 RCs spanning 28 WEIRD and non-WEIRD countries assessed the fidelity using the RECOLLECT Fidelity Measure, developed based upon key RC operation components. Hofstede's cultural dimension scores were entered as predictors in linear mixed-effects regression models, controlling for GDP spent on healthcare and Gini coefficient. Higher Individualism and Indulgence, and lower Uncertainty Avoidance were associated with higher fidelity, while Long-Term Orientation was a borderline negative predictor. RC operations were predominantly aligned with WEIRD cultures, highlighting the need to incorporate non-WEIRD cultural perspectives to enhance RCs' global impact. Findings can inform the refinement and evaluation of mental health recovery interventions worldwide.

PURPOSE: Carotid artery stenting with single-layer stents carries a risk of periprocedural cerebral embolization compared to carotid endarterectomy. Dual-layer micromesh stents were designed for improved plaque coverage and sustained embolic protection. This analysis aimed to confirm the Roadsaver dual-layer micromesh stent safety in a real-world carotid artery stenting cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ROADSAVER was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, observational study. Patients with carotid artery stenosis, eligible for elective stenting, were enrolled at 52 sites across 13 European countries. All procedures followed standard practice. The primary outcome was the 30-day major adverse event rate, defined as the cumulative incidence of any death or stroke. All deaths, strokes, and carotid artery revascularizations were independently adjudicated. RESULTS: In total, 1965 patients were analysed (mean age 70.6 ± 8.8 years). Cerebral ischaemia symptoms were present in 49.4% of participants. Radial/ulnar access was used in 26.3% of cases and embolic protection in 63.8%. The 30-day major adverse event incidence was 2.2% (1.6% in asymptomatic and 2.8% in symptomatic patients), with any stroke at 1.9%, any death at 0.8%, and stroke-related death at 0.5%. Predictors of higher 30-day major adverse event risk, identified through multivariable modelling, included residual stenosis ≥ 30%, thromboembolic venous disease, previous myocardial infarction, age ≥ 75 years, family history of atherosclerosis, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, symptomatic carotid stenosis, and stent length. CONCLUSION: Dual-layer micromesh carotid artery stenting is safe, with a low 30-day major adverse event incidence in real-world asymptomatic and symptomatic patients, supporting the sustained embolic protection design concept. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 2, observational study (with dramatic effect).

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of premature mortality, mainly due to cardiovascular causes. The association between hemodialysis and accelerated atherosclerosis has long been described. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a surrogate marker of atherosclerosis and recent studies indicate its utility as a predictor of future cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. The clinical implications of ABI cut-points are not well defined in patients with CKD. Echocardiography is the most widely used imaging method for cardiac evaluation. Structural and functional myocardial abnormalities are common in patients with CKD due to pressure and volume overload as well as non-hemodynamic factors associated with CKD. Our study aimed to identify markers of subclinical cardiovascular risk assessed using ABI and 2D and 3D echocardiographic parameters evaluating left ventricular (LV) structure and function in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (patients undergoing dialysis), patients after kidney transplantation and non-ESRD patients (control). In ESRD, particularly in hemodialysis patients, changes in cardiac structure, rather than function, seems to be more pronounced. 3D echocardiography appears to be more sensitive than 2D echocardiography in the assessment of myocardial structure and function in CKD patients. Particularly 3D derived end-diastolic volume and 3D derived LV mass indexed for body surface appears to deteriorate in dialyzed and transplanted patients. In 2D echocardiography, myocardial mass represented by left ventricular mass/body surface area index (LVMI) appears to be a more sensitive marker of cardiac structural changes, compared to relative wall thickness (RWT), left ventricle and diastolic diameter index (LVEDDI) and left atrial volume index (LAVI). We observed a generally favorable impact of kidney transplantation on cardiac structure and function; however, the differences were non-significant. The improvement seems to be more pronounced in cardiac function parameters, peak early diastolic velocity/average peak early diastolic velocity of mitral valve annulus (E/e ́), 3D left ventricle ejection fraction (LV EF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS). We conclude that ABI is not an appropriate screening test to determine the cardiovascular risk in patients with ESRD.

BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) enlargement has been identified as a predictor of worse clinical outcome after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated the correspondence of LA size parameters assessed by echocardiography, CT and 3D electroanatomical mapping in patients with AF treated by catheter ablation. METHODS: We analyzed echocardiographic LA volume measurements by disc summation method (LAVDISC), computed tomography (LAVCT) and 3D electroanatomical mapping (LAVCARTO) in 100 pts. (71% males; aged 63 ± 8 years; paroxysmal AF in 55% of patients). RESULTS: Mean LAVDISC was 83 ± 25 ml (median: 115; IQR: 98-140 ml), mean LAVCT was 120 ± 34 ml (median: 115; IQR: 98-140 ml) and mean LAVCARTO was 123 ± 36 ml (median: 118; IQR: 99-132 ml). Pearson's correlation coefficient between LAVDISC a LAVCT was 0.6 (p < 0.0001) and between LAVCARTO and LAVCT was 0.79 (p < 0.0001). There was a significant difference between the two correlation coefficients (p < 0.004). The absolute difference between LAVCARTO and LAVCT (3.5 (95% CI -42 - 43) ml) was significantly lower (p < 0.0001) as compared to LAVDISC and LAVCT (- 39 (95% CI -102 - 24) ml). In opposite to LAVDISC, the bias between LAV obtained by CT and CARTO did not differentiate according to presence of spherical remodeling (1.7 ± 28 vs. vs. 5.1 ± 31 ml). Only presence of sinus rhythm was significant and independent covariate of the difference between CARTO and CT-derived LAVs by multivariate regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Even though LA volumes evaluated by 3D-electroanatomical mapping have quite good accuracy, the precision is low. For volumes estimated by echocardiography, both precision and accuracy are low.

RATIONALE: Severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (SAH) is the most critical, acute, inflammatory phenotype within the alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) spectrum, characterized by high 30- and 90-day mortality. Since several decades, corticosteroids (CS) are the only approved pharmacotherapy offering highly limited survival benefits. Contextually, there is an evident demand for 3PM innovation in the area meeting patients' needs and improving individual outcomes. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as one of the new potential therapeutic options. In this study, we aimed to address the crucial 3PM domains in order to assess (i) the impact of FMT on mortality in SAH patients beyond CS, (ii) to identify factors associated with the outcome to be improved (iii) the prediction of futility, (iv) prevention of suboptimal individual outcomes linked to increased mortality, and (v) personalized allocation of therapy. METHODS: We conducted a prospective study (NCT04758806) in adult patients with SAH who were non-responders (NR) to or non-eligible (NE) for CS between January 2018 and August 2022. The intervention consisted of five 100 ml of FMT, prepared from 30 g stool from an unrelated healthy donor and frozen at - 80 °C, administered daily to the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. We evaluated the impact of FMT on 30- and 90-day mortality which we compared to the control group selected by the propensity score matching and treated by the standard of care; the control group was derived from the RH7 registry of patients hospitalized at the liver unit (NCT04767945). We have also scrutinized the FMT outcome against established and potential prognostic factors for SAH - such as the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), Maddrey Discriminant Function (MDF), acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), Liver Frailty Index (LFI), hepatic venous-portal pressure gradient (HVPG) and Alcoholic Hepatitis Histologic Score (AHHS) - to see if the 3PM method assigns them a new dimension in predicting response to therapy, prevention of suboptimal individual outcomes, and personalized patient management. RESULTS: We enrolled 44 patients with SAH (NR or NE) on an intention-to-treat basis; we analyzed 33 patients per protocol for associated factors (after an additional 11 being excluded for receiving less than 5 doses of FMT), and 31 patients by propensity score matching for corresponding individual outcomes, respectively. The mean age was 49.6 years, 11 patients (33.3%) were females. The median MELD score was 29, and ACLF of any degree had 27 patients (81.8%). FMT improved 30-day mortality (p = 0.0204) and non-significantly improved 90-day mortality (p = 0.4386). Univariate analysis identified MELD ≥ 30, MDF ≥ 90, and ACLF grade > 1 as significant predictors of 30-day mortality, (p = 0.031; p = 0.014; p = 0.034). Survival was not associated with baseline LFI, HVPG, or AHHS. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF 3PM: In the most difficult-to-treat sub-cohort of patients with SAH (i.e., NR/NE), FMT improved 30-day mortality. Factors associated with benefit included MELD ≤ 30, MDF ≤ 90, and ACLF < 2. These results support the potential of gut microbiome as a therapeutic target in the context of 3PM research and vice versa - to use 3PM methodology as the expedient unifying template for microbiome research. The results allow for immediate impact on the innovative concepts of (i) personalized phenotyping and stratification of the disease for the clinical research and practice, (ii) multilevel predictive diagnosis related to personalized/precise treatment allocation including evidence-based (ii) prevention of futile and sub-optimally effective therapy, as well as (iii) targeted prevention of poor individual outcomes in patients with SAH. Moreover, our results add to the existing evidence with the potential to generate new research along the SAH's pathogenetic pathways such as diverse individual susceptibility to alcohol toxicity, host-specific mitochondrial function and systemic inflammation, and the role of gut dysbiosis thereof.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and erythrocyte concentration of methotrexate (EMTX) could serve as predictors of methotrexate (MTX) efficacy and toxicity in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHODS: Genetic analyses and EMTX and folate assessment were performed in 69 patients with JIA aged 2.5-19.6 years (30 male) treated with MTX using a dose-escalation protocol and classified as full responders (disease inactivity; n = 51) or nonresponders (< 30% improvement in pediatric American College of Rheumatology-30 criteria while receiving ≥ 15 mg/m(2)/week parenteral MTX for at least 3 months; n = 18). RESULTS: Nonresponders were treated with the higher median MTX dose (17.2 vs 12.6 mg/m(2)/week; p < 0.0001) and accumulated more EMTX (217 vs 106 nmol/l; p < 0.02) and erythrocyte folates (763 vs 592 nmol/l; p = 0.052) than responders. Analysis of MTHFR allele and genotype frequencies in relation to response failed to detect association. The frequency of any adverse effect was 29.4% in responders and 33.3% in nonresponders (p = 0.77). The frequency of 677T allele was elevated in patients with adverse effects (52.4% vs 20.9%; OR 3.88, 95% CI 1.8-8.6, p < 0.002). The probability of any adverse effect was significantly higher in patients with 677TT compared to the 677CC genotype (OR 55.5, 95% CI 2.9-1080, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: MTHFR genotyping may have a predictive value for the risk of MTX-associated toxicity in patients with JIA. Despite the lack of therapeutic effect, nonresponders accumulated adequate concentrations of EMTX.
