success rates of percutaneous coronary intervention were low. #link# Following discharge, SCAD-specific cardiac rehabilitation had been shown to have long-term cardiovascular benefits. The recent years have seen a surge in SCAD awareness and publication. Centralized patient networks as well as core lab interpretation of diagnostic data have contributed significantly to the growing body of knowledge. Current efforts to delineate the pathogenesis of SCAD; improve medical and revascularization therapy; and understand complications such as cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest will serve as foundational building blocks for future research and innovation.
This study aimed to elucidate the association between postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP) and clinicopathological factors and intraoperative and postoperative epidural or intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA).

We reviewed data of 116 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy at Gunma University Hospital from October 2000 to October 2019. Clinical POPF was defined as the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula grade B or C.

Intraoperative and postoperative analgesia included fentanyl-mediated IV-PCA (n = 37, 32%), fentanyl-mediated epidural analgesia (n = 39, 34%), and morphine-mediated epidural analgesia (n = 40, 34%). All patients had received analgesia. Clinical POPF occurred in 34 of the 116 (29%) DP cases. Male sex (P = 0.035) and the length of operation time (P = 0.0070) were significant risk factors of clinical POPF. Furthermore, a thick pancreas was more likely to cause clinical POPF than a thin one (P = 0.052). No statistically significant difference was found between other factors, including intraoperative and postoperative analgesia (P = 0.95), total median oral morphine equivalents (P = 0.23), and clinical POPF.

Intraoperative and postoperative epidural analgesia and IV-PCA are not associated with clinical POPF after DP. Our results suggest that morphine and fentanyl can be used as IV-PCA or epidural analgesia.

This study, conducted in participants of the NutriNet-Santé cohort, aims to identify dietary pesticide exposure profiles (derived from Non-negative Matrix Factorization) from conventional and organic foods among a large sample of general population French adults.

Organic and conventional dietary intakes were assessed using a self-administered semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Exposure to 25 commonly used pesticides was evaluated using food contamination data from Chemisches und Veterinäruntersuchungsamt Stuttgart accounting for farming system (organic or conventional). Dietary pesticide exposure profiles were identified using Non-Negative Matrix factorization (NMF), especially adapted for non-negative data with excess zeros. The NMF scores were introduced in a hierarchical clustering process.

Overall, the identified clusters (N = 34,193) seemed to be exposed to the same compounds with gradual intensity. Cluster 1 displayed the lowest energy intake and estimated dietary pesticide exposure, high organic food (OF) consumption (23.3%) and a higher proportion of male participants than other groups. Clusters 2 and 5 presented intermediate energy intake, lower OF consumption and intermediate estimated pesticide exposure. Cluster 3 showed high conventional fruits and vegetable (FV) intake, high estimated pesticide exposure, and fewer smokers. Cluster 4 estimated pesticide exposure varied more across compounds than for other clusters, with highest estimated exposures for acetamiprid, azadirachtin, cypermethrin, pyrethrins, spinosad. OF proportion in the diet was the highest (31.5%).

Estimated dietary pesticide exposures appeared to vary across the clusters and to be related to OF proportion in the diet.

To assess the dietary intake, nutrition knowledge and hydration status of Irish Gaelic footballers.

One hundred and sixty-eight male club/county level Irish Gaelic footballers (median [IQR]; age 23years [20.0, 27.0]; height 1.79m [1.74, 1.84]; body mass 78.0kg [73.5, 84.8]) participated in this cross-sectional study. Dietary intake was assessed using a 4-day semi-quantitative food record, with the application of Goldberg cut-offs to define acceptable reporters (n  = 62). ARS-853 was assessed using the validated Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire in a sub-group of athletes (n = 24), while hydration status was measured using urine specific gravity pre-exercise (USG) in 142 athletes.

Dietary analysis indicated an energy deficit at the group level (485kcal [IQR 751,6]) (p < 0.001), with carbohydrate intakes (3.6g/kg [IQR 3.0,4.1]) below current guidelines for athletes participating in one hour moderate intensity exercise per day (5-7g/kg; p < 0.001). Average vitamin D (3.8µg [IQR rformance.
Shigatoxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are the most common causes of hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS). The aim of our study is to compare the risk of developing STEC-HUS in relation to the type of Stx genes (Stx1, Stx2, or both).

This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study involving 63 pediatric units in Northern Italy (ItalKid-HUS Network). STEC-infected children were identified within a screening program for bloody diarrhea during a 10-year period (2010-2019). Stx genes were detected by reverse dot blot or real-time PCR. After the identification of STEC infection, children were followed until diarrhea complete recovery for the possible development of STEC-HUS.

Of the 214 Stx-positive patients, 34 (15.9%) developed STEC-HUS. The risk of HUS in STEC-infected children with Stx1 (n 62; 29.0%) and Stx2 (n 97; 45.3%) was respectively 0% and 23.7%, while in patients carrying both Stx1 and Stx2 (n 55; 25.7%), the risk was 12.7% (p 0.001).

Our data confirm that Stx1 is a very rare cause of STEC-HUS and demonstrate that the risk of STEC-HUS halves in the case of Stx1+2-producing Escherichia coli infection compared with infections where Stx2 is present alone.
