    Abstract Portomesenteric decompression is often necessary to treat patients with refractory symptoms of portal hypertension. When transjugular or direct intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation is not feasible or is inadequate, surgical portosystemic shunt creation is considered, which carries significant morbidity and mortality in these high-risk patients. Surgery is further complicated in patients with portomesenteric thrombosis who require concurrent thrombectomy and long-term anticoagulation. In this article, we outline the technique for performing advanced endovascular alternatives to intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation including mesocaval and splenorenal shunting. We will also discuss some of the clinical considerations for treating these patients with symptomatic portal hypertension and portomesenteric thrombosis.

    Abstract Transjugular portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is a widely accepted method for reducing portal pressures in conditions including symptomatic varices, refractory ascites, hepatic hydrothorax, portomesenteric thrombosis, and Budd-Chiari syndrome. The traditional method for performing TIPS involves "blind" access into a portal vein branch from a hepatic vein, typically right portal vein to right hepatic vein, using preoperative imaging and intraoperative wedged portography for guidance. However, standard access technique may not always be feasible due to occluded portal or hepatic veins, distorted anatomy, or prior TIPS. In this article we discuss alternative techniques for accessing the portal vein for TIPS placement when standard methods are not sufficient.

    Abstract Background: Disparities in COVID-19 outcomes exist on the basis of ethnicity and comorbidities. Minority ethnic groups in the UK are known to have poorer COVID-19 outcomes, but also an increased prevelance of certain comorbidities associated with severe outcomes. Additionally, despite the prevalence of certain psychiatric disorders there is a lack of research establishing their relationship with COVID-19 outcomes.
    Methods: We used UK Biobank data, involving 472,182 participants, to test for an association between comorbidities and COVID-19 diagnosis (n = 30,901); and to test for an association between comorbidities and severe COVID-19 (n = 3182). This was done by performing univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis, estimating odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The comorbidities studied were coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD), depression and anxiety. Multivariable models were adjusted for various socioeconomic, demographic and health-related confounders. We then performed sub-group analysis by common UK ethnic groups (White, South Asian, and Black).
    Results: Increased prevalence of all studied comorbidities was seen in both outcomes, compared to the rest of the cohort. All studied comorbidities were associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 infection and severity across all models. For example, the adjusted ORs (95% CI) for depression were 1.112 (1.083 - 1.161) for COVID-19 diagnosis and 2.398 (2.163 - 2.658) for severe COVID-19. Sub-group analysis revealed stronger associations of COVID-19 diagnosis and severe COVID-19 for South-Asian participants for CHD (OR 1.585 [95% CI 1.194-2.105] for COVID-19 diagnosis and 3.021 [1.683-5.390] for severe COVID-19), hypertension (1.488 [1.231-1.799]; 3.399 [1.862-6.206]) and T2DM (1.671 [1.346-2.076]; 5.412 [3.130-9.357]) compared to White participants (1.264 [1.195-1.336] and 1.627 [1.441-1.837] for CHD; 1.131 [1.097-1.116] and 2.075 [1.885-2.284] for hypertension; 1.402 [1.331-1.476] and 2.890 [2.596-3.216] for T2DM). Similar results were seen for Black participants with CKD and hypertension.
    Conclusion: Specific comorbidities are risk factors for poorer COVID-19 outcomes, supporting targeted interventions and policy aimed at individuals with these comorbidities. Although further research is required, there's also a need for targeted policies for ethnic minorities assessing the unique reasons they are at greater risk of poor COVID-19 outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: Farming is a physically demanding occupation that puts farmers at risk of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly when frequently performing activities like heavy lifting, which strains the lower back muscles. The present study aimed to assess the ergonomic risk and fatigue during manual lifting tasks pertaining to farming activities. Methods: A study was performed on 20 farmers to analyze the ergonomic risks associated with load lifting through the estimation of the Recommended Weight Limit and Lifting Index using the revised NIOSH lifting equation. The low back compression forces of the participants were estimated using the 3DSSPP software. Surface electromyography was employed to analyze the onset of muscle fatigue during the lifting activity. Results: The results of the study showed a 111.12% increase in the recommended weight limit, a 52.77% reduction in lifting index, and a 28.15% reduction in the low back compression forces for the redesigned lifting technique. The average low-back compression force for the redesigned technique was observed to be well below the back compression design limit of 770 lb. A reduction in the slope of the RMS voltage regression line by 60% and a reduction of 50.23% in the peak spectral power of the sEMG signal, accompanied by a shift in the peak spectral power towards higher frequency region indicated delayed onset of fatigue for the redesigned technique. Conclusion: The outcomes of the study indicated that the ergonomic redesign of the lifting task could significantly reduce the lifting index and alleviate the spinal compression forces well within the back-compression design limit. The redesign was also found to delay the onset of fatigue in the erector spinae muscles.

    Abstract Multi-enzymatic strategies have shown improvement in bioconversion during cofactor regeneration. In this study, purified l-arabinitol 4-dehydrogenase (LAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase (Nox) were immobilized via individual, mixed, and sequential co-immobilization approaches on magnetic nanoparticles, and were evaluated to enhance the conversion of l-arabinitol to l-xylulose. Initially, the immobilization of LAD or Nox on the nanoparticles resulted in a maximum immobilization yield and relative activity of 91.4% and 98.8%, respectively. The immobilized enzymes showed better pH and temperature profiles than the corresponding free enzymes. Furthermore, co-immobilization of these enzymes via mixed and sequential methods resulted in high loadings of 114 and 122 mg/g of support, respectively. Sequential co-immobilization of these enzymes proved more beneficial for higher conversion than mixed co-immobilization because of better retaining Nox residual activity. Sequentially co-immobilized enzymes showed a high relative conversion yield with broader pH, temperature, and storage stability profiles than the controls, along with high reusability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the mixed or sequential co-immobilization of LAD and Nox on magnetic nanoparticles for l-xylulose production. This finding suggests that selecting a sequential co-immobilization strategy is more beneficial than using individual or mixed co-immobilized enzymes on magnetic nanoparticles for enhancing conversion applications.
