RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Residence in ethnic enclaves and nativity are both associated with survival in Hispanic patients with cancer, although their prognostic significance in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. We aimed to determine the association between nativity, neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES), and ethnic enclave residency with overall survival in Hispanic patients with HCC. METHODS: Hispanic patients diagnosed with HCC from 2004 to 2017 were identified in the Texas Cancer Registry. Existing indices were applied to tract-level 2000 US Census data to measure enclave residence and nSES. Enclaves were defined by seven measures. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the association between nativity, enclave residency, and nSES with survival. RESULTS: Among 9496 Hispanic patients with HCC, 2283 (24%) were foreign-born. Compared with US-born Hispanic patients, foreign-born Hispanic patients were less likely to present with localized HCC (45.3% vs. 48.8%, p = 0.03) and less likely to receive HCC treatment (53.9% vs. 47.6%, p < 0.001); however, foreign-born Hispanic patients had lower mortality in adjusted models (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.93). Neighborhood SES, but not enclave residence, was also associated with overall survival. Compared with those in low nSES non-enclaves, Hispanic patients in high nSES neighborhoods, with either enclave (aHR 0.80, 95% CI 0.72-0.88) or non-enclave (aHR 0.89, 95% CI 0.80-0.98) residence status and low nSES enclaves (aHR 0.93, 95% CI 0.86-0.98) had improved survival. CONCLUSION: In Hispanic patients with HCC, foreign birthplace and higher nSES, but not enclave residence, are associated with improved survival. Additional research on intersectionality between ethnicity, nativity, and neighborhood context is warranted.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Military sexual trauma (MST) is a prevalent issue within the U.S. military. Victims are more likely to develop comorbid diseases such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). Nonetheless, not everyone who suffers from MST develops PTSD and/or MDD. DNA methylation, which can regulate gene expression, might give us insight into the molecular mechanisms behind this discrepancy. Therefore, we sought to identify genomic loci and enriched biological pathways that differ between patients with and without MST, PTSD, and MDD. METHODS: Saliva samples were collected from 113 female veterans. Following DNA extraction and processing, DNA methylation levels were measured through the Infinium HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChip array. We used limma and bump hunting methods to generate the differentially methylated positions and differentially methylated regions (DMRs), respectively. Concurrently, we used Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome to find enriched pathways. RESULTS: A DMR close to the transcription start site of ZFP57 was differentially methylated between subjects with and without PTSD, replicating previous findings and emphasizing the potential role of ZFP57 in PTSD susceptibility. In the pathway analyses, none survived multiple correction, although top GO terms included some potentially relevant to MST, PTSD, and MDD etiology. CONCLUSION: We conducted one of the first DNA methylation analyses investigating MST along with PTSD and MDD. In addition, we found one DMR near ZFP57 to be associated with PTSD. The replication of this finding indicates further investigation of ZFP57 in PTSD may be warranted.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patient- and hospital-level factors associated with outcomes following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) are well established. However, despite theoretical disruption in hepatopetal flow, the impact of cirrhosis on in-hospital mortality following PD is not well-studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS), and post-discharge disposition in patients with cirrhosis undergoing PD. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample (January 2002-August 2015) was conducted identifying patients undergoing PD. Using previously validated ICD-9-CM codes, patients were stratified into presence and absence of cirrhosis. Factors associated with in-hospital mortality following PD were analyzed adjusting for patient- and hospital-level factors. Following PD were analyzed after adjusting for patient- and hospital-level factors. RESULTS: In 16,344 patients that underwent PD, 203 (1.2 %) patients had underlying cirrhosis prior to resection. Overall in-hospital mortality following PD was significantly worse in the cirrhosis cohort (11.3 % vs. 3.6 %, p < 0.001). Patients with underlying cirrhosis were less likely to be discharged home (73.9 % vs. 83.2 %, p < 0.001) and had a longer median LOS (12.0 vs. 10.0 days, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: The presence of underlying cirrhosis is associated with increased in-hospital mortality, longer LOS, and decreased likelihood of home discharge following PD. Given the prohibitive risks, PD should not be performed in patients with underlying cirrhosis.

RESUMO

Hepatic resection is one of the mainstays of curative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The appropriate selection of resectable candidates requires careful consideration of a multitude of factors including tumor burden (size and number of nodules, presence of vascular involvement, extrahepatic spread), patient factors (performance status, underlying liver function), and availability of other therapies (access to transplantation, interventional procedures, immunotherapies). Historically, hepatic resection for HCC has been reserved for patients with solitary tumors without vascular invasion. However, in well-selected patients HCC tumors multifocal in nature or with vascular invasion should be considered for hepatic resection.

RESUMO

Lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) involvement occurs in 10%-25% of rectal cancer cases. Total mesorectal excision (TME) with routine LPLN dissection (LPLND) is predominantly applied in Japan whereas TME with neoadjuvant treatment are used in the West. LPLND is a morbid procedure and minimally invasive techniques may help reduce its morbidity. Selective lateral pelvic node dissection with TME following neoadjuvant treatment achieves acceptable disease-free and overall survival.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between history of anti-inflammatory medication use and delirium risk, as well as long-term mortality. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, subjects recruited between January 2016 and March 2020 were analyzed. Information about anti-inflammatory medication use history including aspirin, NSAIDs, glucosamine, and other anti-inflammatory drugs, was collected. Logistic regression analysis investigated the relationship between anti-inflammatory medications and delirium. Log-rank analysis and cox proportional hazards model investigated the relationship between anti-inflammatory medications and one-year mortality. RESULTS: The data from 1274 subjects were analyzed. The prevalence of delirium was significantly lower in subjects with NSAIDs usage (23.0%) than in those without NSAIDs usage (35.0%) (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis controlling for age, sex, dementia status, and hospitalization department showed that the risk of delirium tended to be reduced by a history of NSAIDs use (OR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.55 to 1.03]). The one-year mortality in the subjects with NSAIDs (survival rate, 0.879 [95% CI, 0.845 to 0.906]) was significantly lower than in the subjects without NSAIDs (survival rate, 0.776 [95% CI, 0.746 to 0.803]) (p < 0.001). A history of NSAIDs use associated with the decreased risk of one-year mortality even after adjustment for age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, delirium status, and hospitalization department (HR, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.51 to 0.96]). CONCLUSION: This study suggested that NSAIDs usage was associated with decreased delirium prevalence and lower one-year mortality. The potential benefit of NSAIDs on delirium risk and mortality were shown.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Metformin, a commonly prescribed anti-diabetic medication, has repeatedly been shown to hinder aging in pre-clinical models and to be associated with lower mortality for humans. It is, however, not well understood how metformin can potentially prolong lifespan from a biological standpoint. We hypothesized that metformin's potential mechanism of action for longevity is through its epigenetic modifications. METHODS: To test our hypothesis, we conducted a post-hoc analysis of available genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) data obtained from whole blood collected from inpatients with and without a history of metformin use. We assessed the methylation profile of 171 patients (first run) and only among 63 diabetic patients (second run) and compared the DNAm rates between metformin users and nonusers. RESULTS: Enrichment analysis from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) showed pathways relevant to metformin's mechanism of action, such as longevity, AMPK, and inflammatory pathways. We also identified several pathways related to delirium whose risk factor is aging. Moreover, top hits from the Gene Ontology (GO) included HIF-1α pathways. However, no individual CpG site showed genome-wide statistical significance (p < 5E-08). CONCLUSION: This study may elucidate metformin's potential role in longevity through epigenetic modifications and other possible mechanisms of action.

RESUMO

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Partial hepatectomy, one of a few curative therapeutic modalities, is plagued by high recurrence rate of up to 70% at 5 years. Throughout the past 3 decades, many clinical trials have attempted to improve HCC recurrence rate following partial hepatectomy using adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment modalities such as antiviral therapy, brachytherapy, systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, transarterial chemoembolization and radioembolization, and radiotherapy. The goal of this review is to discuss the clinical trials pertaining to resectable HCC including surgical technique considerations, adjuvant, and neoadjuvant treatment modalities.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Patients with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) have autonomic dysfunction and lack ventilatory responses to hypoxemia and hypercarbia and thus are prone to adverse events during general anesthesia. The objective of this study was to describe the perioperative outcomes of patients with CCHS who were undergoing diaphragm pacer (DP) implantation surgeries under general anesthesia. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with CCHS who underwent DP implantation surgeries at CHLA between January 2000 and May 2016. Charts were reviewed for demographics, PHOX2B genotype, ventilatory support, comorbidities, anesthesia administered, and perioperative courses. RESULTS: Of 19 patients with CCHS (58% female) mean age at surgeries was 8.6 ± 5.8 years. Seventeen patients were ventilator-dependent during sleep only; two were ventilator dependent 24 h per day. Mean surgery duration was 3.1 ± 0.5 h. Seventeen patients were extubated to PPV via tracheostomy in the OR. Two patients were extubated to NPPV on postoperative day (POD) 1. Mean transition time to home ventilator or NPPV was 3.0 ± 2.2 days, and mean hospital stay was 5.0 ± 2.1 days. One patient premedicated without ventilatory support developed hypoxemia and hypoventilation. Ten patients (52%) had intraoperative events such as bradycardia, hypotension, significant hypoxemia, and bronchospasm. Fifteen patients had postoperative events. Hypoxemia, pneumonia, and atelectasis accounted for most of perioperative complications. One patient experienced seizure on POD 2 due to hypercarbia. CONCLUSION: Patients with CCHS are vulnerable to the cardiorespiratory effects of sedative and anesthetic agents. Therefore, they require vigilant monitoring and optimal ventilatory support in the perioperative period.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Metformin has been reported to improve age-related disorders, including dementia, and to lower mortality. This study was conducted to investigate whether metformin use lower delirium risk, as well as long-term mortality. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, previously recruited 1,404 subjects were analyzed. The relationship between metformin use and delirium, and the relationship between metformin use and 3-year mortality were investigated. MAIN FINDINGS: 242 subjects were categorized into a type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM)-without-metformin group, and 264 subjects were categorized into a DM-with-metformin group. Prevalence of delirium was 36.0% in the DM-without-metformin group, and 29.2% in the DM-with-metformin group. A history of metformin use reduced the risk of delirium in patients with DM (OR, 0.50 [95% CI, 0.32 to 0.79]) after controlling for confounding factors. The 3-year mortality in the DM-without-metformin group (survival rate, 0.595 [95% CI, 0.512 to 0.669]) was higher than in the DM-with-metformin group (survival rate, 0.695 [95% CI, 0.604 to 0.770]) (p=0.035). A history of metformin use decreased the risk of 3-year mortality after adjustment for confounding factors (HR, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.48 to 0.98]). CONCLUSIONS: Metformin use may lower the risk of delirium and mortality in DM patients.

RESUMO

Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS) is a relatively new but valuable tool that is increasingly used as an adjunct to computed tomography, MRI, and IOUS for patients undergoing liver surgery. CE-IOUS has an important role in 2 main settings: the discrimination of indeterminate lesions detected in cirrhotic livers by conventional IOUS and in the detection of colorectal liver metastasis that may be overlooked by other imaging modalities. The intraoperative nature of the imaging and interpretation allows for CE-IOUS to directly affect surgical decision-making that may importantly affect patient outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) has developed a grading system for emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions. We sought to validate the AAST EGS grades for patients undergoing urgent/emergent colorectal resection. METHODS: Patients enrolled in the "Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma Multicenter Colorectal Resection in EGS-to anastomose or not to anastomose" study undergoing urgent/emergent surgery for obstruction, ischemia, or diverticulitis were included. Baseline demographics, comorbidity severity as defined by Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), procedure type, and AAST grade were prospectively collected. Outcomes included length of stay (LOS) in-hospital mortality, and surgical complications (superficial/deep/organ-space surgical site infection, anastomotic leak, stoma complication, fascial dehiscence, and need for further intervention). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to describe outcomes and risk factors for surgical complication or mortality. RESULTS: There were 367 patients, with a mean (± SD) age of 62 ± 15 years. 39% were women. The median interquartile range (IQR) CCI was 4 (2-6). Overall, the pathologies encompassed the following AAST EGS grades: I (17, 5%), II (54, 15%), III (115, 31%), IV (95, 26%), and V (86, 23%). Management included laparoscopic (24, 7%), open (319, 87%), and laparoscopy converted to laparotomy (24, 6%). Higher AAST grade was associated with laparotomy (P = .01). The median LOS was 13 days (8-22). At least 1 surgical complication occurred in 33% of patients and the mortality rate was 14%. Development of at least 1 surgical complication, need for unplanned intervention, mortality, and increased LOS were associated with increasing AAST severity grade. On multivariable analysis, factors predictive of in-hospital mortality included AAST organ grade, CCI, and preoperative vasopressor use (odds ratio (OR) 1.9, 1.6, 3.1, respectively). The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma emergency general surgery grade was also associated with the development of at least 1 surgical complication (OR 2.5), while CCI, preoperative vasopressor use, respiratory failure, and pneumoperitoneum were not. CONCLUSION: The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma emergency general surgery grading systems display construct validity for mortality and surgical complications after urgent/emergent colorectal resection. These results support incorporation of AAST EGS grades for quality benchmarking and surgical outcomes research.

RESUMO

It has been suggested that aging and inflammation play key roles in the development of delirium. In the present study, we investigated the differences of the DNAm patterns in the TNF gene between patients with delirium and without. The data and samples derived from previous and ongoing cohort studies were analyzed. DNAm levels of the TNF gene were analyzed using the Illumina EPIC array genome-wide method and pyrosequencing method. Correlations between age and DNAm levels of each CpG were calculated. Several CpG in the TNF gene in blood showed negative correlation between their DNAm and age in delirium cases both with the EPIC array and by the pyrosequencing method. However, there was no CpG that had significant correlation between their DNAm and age regardless of delirium status among buccal samples. On the other hand, among peripheral blood mononuclear cells samples, it was found that several CpG showed negative correlation between their DNAm and age in delirium cases. The evidence of DNAm change in the TNF gene among delirious subjects was demonstrated.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We have developed the bispectral electroencephalography (BSEEG) method for detection of delirium and prediction of poor outcomes. AIMS: To improve the BSEEG method by introducing a new EEG device. METHOD: In a prospective cohort study, EEG data were obtained and BSEEG scores were calculated. BSEEG scores were filtered on the basis of standard deviation (s.d.) values to exclude signals with high noise. Both non-filtered and s.d.-filtered BSEEG scores were analysed. BSEEG scores were compared with the results of three delirium screening scales: the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU), the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98 (DRS) and the Delirium Observation Screening Scale (DOSS). Additionally, the 365-day mortalities and the length of stay (LOS) in the hospital were analysed. RESULTS: We enrolled 279 elderly participants and obtained 620 BSEEG recordings; 142 participants were categorised as BSEEG-positive, reflecting slower EEG activity. BSEEG scores were higher in the CAM-ICU-positive group than in the CAM-ICU-negative group. There were significant correlations between BSEEG scores and scores on the DRS and the DOSS. The mortality rate of the BSEEG-positive group was significantly higher than that of the BSEEG-negative group. The LOS of the BSEEG-positive group was longer compared with that of the BSEEG-negative group. BSEEG scores after s.d. filtering showed stronger correlations with delirium screening scores and more significant prediction of mortality. CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed the usefulness of the BSEEG method for detection of delirium and of delirium severity, and prediction of patient outcomes with a new EEG device.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Detecting delirium is important to identify patients with a high risk of poor outcomes. Although many different kinds of screening instruments for delirium exist, there is no solid consensus about which methods are the most effective. In addition, it is important to find the most useful tools in predicting outcomes such as mortality. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1,125 adult inpatients (mean age = 67.7; median age = 69). MEASUREMENTS: Post hoc analyses were performed based on existing data from the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU), Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98 (DRS), and the Delirium Observation Screening Scale (DOSS). Correlation among these scales and relationships between 365-day mortality and each scale were evaluated. RESULTS: A positive result on the CAM-ICU ("CAM-ICU positive") was associated with higher DRS and DOSS scores. A DRS score = 9/10 was the best cutoff to detect CAM-ICU positive, and DOSS = 2/3 was the best cutoff to detect CAM-ICU positive. CAM-ICU positive was associated with high 365-day mortality. DRS score = 9/10 and DOSS score = 0/1 were found to differentiate mortality risk the most significantly. Higher DRS and DOSS scores significantly coincided with a decrease in a patient's survival rate at 365 days. CONCLUSION: The best DRS and DOSS cutoff scores to differentiate 365-day mortality risk were lower than those commonly used to detect delirium in the literature. New cutoff scores for the DRS and DOSS might be useful in differentiating risk of mortality among hospital patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Evidence comparing stoma creation (STM) versus anastomosis after urgent or emergent colorectal resection is limited. This study examined outcomes after colorectal resection in emergency general surgery patients. METHODS: This was an Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma-sponsored prospective observational multicenter study of patients undergoing urgent/emergent colorectal resection. Twenty-one centers enrolled patients for 11 months. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were recorded. χ, Mann-Whitney U test, and multivariable logistic regression models were used to describe outcomes and risk factors for surgical complication/mortality. RESULTS: A total of 439 patients were enrolled (ANST, 184; STM, 255). The median (interquartile range) age was 62 (53-71) years, and the median Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was 4 (1-6). The most common indication for surgery was diverticulitis (28%). Stoma group was older (64 vs. 58 years, p < 0.001), had a higher CCI, and were more likely to be immunosuppressed. Preoperatively, STM patients were more likely to be intubated (57 vs. 15, p < 0.001), on vasopressors (61 vs. 13, p < 0.001), have pneumoperitoneum (131 vs. 41, p < 0.001) or fecal contamination (114 vs. 33, p < 0.001), and had a higher incidence of elevated lactate (149 vs. 67, p < 0.001). Overall mortality was 13%, which was higher in STM patients (18% vs. 8%, p = 0.02). Surgical complications were more common in STM patients (35% vs. 25%, p = 0.02). On multivariable analysis, management with an open abdomen, intraoperative blood transfusion, and larger hospital size were associated with development of a surgical complication, while CCI, preoperative vasopressor use, steroid use, open abdomen, and intraoperative blood transfusion were independently associated with mortality. CONCLUSION: This study highlights a tendency to perform fecal diversion in patients who are acutely ill at presentation. There is a higher morbidity and mortality rate in STM patients. Independent predictors of mortality include CCI, preoperative vasopressor use, steroid use, open abdomen, and intraoperative blood transfusion. Following adjustment by clinical factors, method of colon management was not associated with surgical complications or mortality. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level IV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgical management of traumatic duodenal injury remains challenging. While various surgical techniques have been described in the attempt to reduce complications and mortality, recent data suggests that surgical approach using less invasive procedures might be associated with improved patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine the recent trend of surgical procedures performed for patients with duodenal injury and their outcome. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) from 2002 to 2014 was performed. A total of 2163 patients who sustained a traumatic duodenal injury requiring surgical intervention were included. Patient characteristics, injury data, procedures, and outcomes were examined. Types of duodenal procedures and patient outcomes were compared between two study periods (2002-2006 vs. 2007-2014). RESULTS: The median age was 27 (IQR 20-39), 78.9% were male, and 63.8% sustained penetrating duodenal injury. The median injury severity score was 18 (IQR 13-26). In patients with isolated duodenal injury, the later study period (2007-2014) was significantly associated with the increased use of primary repair (OR 1.77; 95% CI 1.11-2.83, p = 0.017). Overall mortality was 11.7%. Patients in the later study group were significantly associated with lower odds of inhospital mortality (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.22-0.95, p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS: A progressive trend toward less invasive procedures for duodenal injury was noted in the current study. Inhospital mortality has improved in the late study period.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: A major challenge in the pharmacological treatment of psychotic disorders is the effective management of the associated cognitive dysfunctions. Novel concepts emphasize a potential benefit of partial agonists acting upon dopamine D(2)-like receptors in ameliorating these cognitive deficits, and pre-clinical studies suggest that D(3)-receptor-preferring compounds can exert pro-cognitive effects. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to use acute phencyclidine (PCP) treatment to model the cognitive deficits of schizophrenia in mice, and to test the efficacy of the novel, dopamine D(3)-receptor-preferring drug cariprazine in ameliorating the severity of PCP-triggered cognitive deficits. METHODS: One group of wild-type or D(3)-receptor knockout mice was acutely treated with either saline or phencyclidine (PCP, 1 mg/kg). A separate group of mice was treated with cariprazine prior to PCP administration. Both groups were then tested in three cognitive tasks: social interaction/recognition and recognition memory, spatial working memory, and attention-set-shifting. RESULTS: PCP effectively disrupted social recognition and social recognition memory, spatial working memory, and extradimensional attention set-shifting. Cariprazine pretreatment significantly attenuated the emergence of these cognitive deficits in PCP-treated wild-type mice, but not in PCP-treated D(3)-receptor knockout mice. CONCLUSIONS: In an animal model of PCP-induced cognitive impairment, cariprazine pretreatment significantly diminished PCP-triggered cognitive deficits, and studies on knockout mice show that dopamine D(3) receptors contribute to this effect.
