Abstract	Background: Determine the feasibility of studying the natural history of the atherosclerotic plaque following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), using duplex scanning. Methods: Twenty-three patients with 40 stenoses (>70% and <5 cm in length) in the iliac and femoro-popliteal segments were studied by duplex scanning before PTA, on day 1, weekly for 8 weeks, and at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. The following measurements were made: thickness of the plaque, minimal lumen diameter (MLD), and peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR). A PSVR >2.0 was used to indicate >50% lumen diameter reduction. Results: Thirty stenoses were available for measurement and analysis. Mean reduction in plaque thickness after angioplasty was greater in echolucent plaques (2.33 +/- 0.9 mm) than echogenic plaques (0.83 +/- 0.6 mm; P < 0.0001). Successful angioplasty (PSVR <2.0) and increase in MLD in echolucent plaques was the result of plaque compression; in echogenic plaques, of wall dilatation. The incidence of restenosis (PSVR >2.0) at 6 months was 12 of 30 (40%) remaining unchanged at 1 year; of the lesions that restenosed, 33% recurred before week 8 and the remainder between weeks 8 and 24, suggesting different mechanisms. During follow-up, all plaques showed "growth"; <2 mm in 17 (57%; group A) and >2 mm in the remaining 13 (43%; group B). The incidence of restenosis (PSVR >2.0) was 4 of 17 (23%) in group A and 8 of 13 (61%) in group B (P <0.05). Conclusion: Duplex scanning provides valuable information on both luminal diameter and plaque thickness; it may be used to study the natural history of plaques following angioplasty and also the effects of therapeutic agents aimed at reducing restenosis.

Article: Primary Serous Cystadenocarcinoma of the Spleen.

Sciberras, Peter / Baitule, Amey / Wilkins, Alexander / Buchanan, Alex

2024 Volume 16, Issue 2, Page(s) e55165

Abstract: ... investigation, including positron emission tomography (PET), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and laparoscopy ...

Abstract	Tumours of the spleen are uncommon, and most are metastases from primaries in other organs. Primary splenic malignancies are subdivided into two main groups: lymphoid and non-lymphoid. Primary splenic cystadenocarcinomas are extremely rare, and only reports of the mucinous variant exist. We present the case of a female in her eighth decade of life who was found to have an incidental complex splenic mass with a cystic component, which showed an interval increase in size on serial imaging. After further investigation, including positron emission tomography (PET), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and laparoscopy, she successfully underwent distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and partial gastrectomy for a suspected locally invasive pancreatic malignancy. Histology and immunohistochemical analyses were consistent with the first recorded case of primary serous cystadenocarcinoma of the spleen in the literature.

Article ; Online: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: using comparative medicine to understand exposure and adverse health outcomes in people and their pets.

Abstract	One of the important human health benefits of keeping pets may be to serve as an early warning system for indoor childhood exposure to toxic chemicals such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The stain-resistant properties and environmental stability of PFAS make them a preferred choice for protective coatings and lubricants, and they have been used for years in various manufacturing and industrial processes around the world. Although the use of PFAS has arguably improved many commercial products, they have been linked to adverse health outcomes such as developmental delays, liver damage, immune suppression, disruption of endocrine and reproductive systems, and some cancers. The current body of literature suggests that serum PFAS levels in dogs and cats are analogous to their human counterparts and that household pets experience similar changes in blood chemistry markers. The proximity of small children and household pets to PFAS-treated carpets and floors, in addition to their tendency to put things into their mouths, potentially allows pets to serve as sentinels for household PFAS exposure. To assess the suitability of pets as indicators for exposure, researchers need to understand the most likely sources of PFAS exposure for household pets and identify the biomarkers of biological effects in those animals. Understanding these parameters may alert veterinary clinicians to potential sources of contamination in the home and ultimately protect the lives of the children and animals who live there.

Abstract	The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on mental health at the level of the population. The current study adds to the evidence base by examining how the prevalence of psychological distress changed in Australia during the pandemic. The study also assesses the psychometric properties of a new single-item measure of mental distress included in a survey program conducted regularly throughout the pandemic. Data are from 1158 respondents in wave 13 (early July 2020) of the nationally representative Taking the Pulse of the Nation (TTPN) Survey. The questionnaire included the six-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) and a new single-item measure of distress. Results show a significant increase in the prevalence of psychological distress in Australia, from 6.3% pre-pandemic to 17.7% in early July 2020 (unadjusted odds ratio = 3.19; 95% CI (confidence interval) = 2.51 to 4.05). The new single-item measure of distress is highly correlated with the K6. This study provides a snapshot at one point in time about how mental health worsened in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, by demonstrating the accuracy of the new single-item measure of distress, this analysis also provides a basis for further research examining the trajectories and correlates of distress in Australia across the pandemic.

Article ; Online: Protecting mental health during periods of financial stress: Evidence from the Australian Coronavirus Supplement income support payment.

Abstract	This paper investigates whether the Australian government's Coronavirus Supplement, a temporary income support payment for unemployed jobseekers during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, protected mental health (frequency of feeling anxious or depressed during the past week) by lowering financial stress (how comfortable people are in paying for essential services). We use unique nationally representative repeated cross-sectional data on 3843 unemployed Australian adults over the period April 6, 2020 to May 10, 2021. We find that the Coronavirus Supplement payment significantly reduced reported financial stress, and lower financial stress was associated with lower mental distress. Though the Coronavirus Supplement was designed to reduce financial stress, we find the Supplement was also successful in protecting community mental health indirectly via its ability to reduce financial stress. The findings provide support for income support packages to protect mental health during economic shocks. However, transitory support measures also tend have short-lived positive effects on mental health, suggesting that more permanent income support reform may have longer-term mental health benefits.

Abstract	Daily weather affects total visitation to parks and protected areas, as well as visitors' experiences. However, it is unknown if and how visitors change their spatial behavior within a park due to daily weather conditions. We investigated the impact of daily maximum temperature and precipitation on summer visitation patterns within 110 U.S. National Park Service units. We connected 489,061 geotagged Flickr photos to daily weather, as well as visitors' elevation and distance to amenities (i.e., roads, waterbodies, parking areas, and buildings). We compared visitor behavior on cold, average, and hot days, and on days with precipitation compared to days without precipitation, across fourteen ecoregions within the continental U.S. Our results suggest daily weather impacts where visitors go within parks, and the effect of weather differs substantially by ecoregion. In most ecoregions, visitors stayed closer to infrastructure on rainy days. Temperature also affects visitors' spatial behavior within parks, but there was not a consistent trend across ecoregions. Importantly, parks in some ecoregions contain more microclimates than others, which may allow visitors to adapt to unfavorable conditions. These findings suggest visitors' spatial behavior in parks may change in the future due to the increasing frequency of hot summer days.
