    Abstract Major risk factors for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) include older age and a history of smoking, which predispose to several pulmonary and extra-pulmonary diseases. IPF can be associated with additional comorbidities through other mechanisms as either a cause or a consequence of these diseases. We review the literature regarding the management of common pulmonary and extra-pulmonary comorbidities, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, venous thromboembolism, sleep-disordered breathing, gastroesophageal reflux disease, coronary artery disease, depression and anxiety, and deconditioning. Recent studies have provided some guidance on the management of these diseases in IPF; however, most treatment recommendations are extrapolated from studies of non-IPF patients. Additional studies are required to more accurately determine the clinical features of these comorbidities in patients with IPF and to evaluate conventional treatments and management strategies that are beneficial in non-IPF populations.

    Abstract Objective: To establish the effect of challenging neck anatomy on the mid- and long-term incidence of migration with the AneuRx bifurcated device in patients treated after Food and Drug Administration approval and to identify the predictive factors for device migration.
    Methods: Prospectively maintained databases at the University of North Carolina (UNC) and Washington University (WU) were used to identify 595 patients (UNC, n = 230; WU, n = 365) who underwent endovascular repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with the AneuRx bifurcated stent graft. Those patients with at least 30 months of follow-up were identified and underwent further assessment of migration (UNC, n = 25; WU, n = 59) by use of multiplanar reconstructed computed tomographic scans.
    Results: Eighty-four patients with a mean follow-up time of 40.3 months (range, 30-55 months) were studied. Seventy percent of the patients (n = 59) met all inclusion criteria for neck anatomy (length, angle, diameter, and quality) as defined by the revised instructions for use guidelines and are referred to as those with favorable neck anatomy (FNA). The remaining 25 patients retrospectively fell outside of the revised instructions for use guidelines and are referred to as those with unfavorable neck anatomy (UFNA). Life-table analysis for FNA patients at 2 and 4 years revealed a migration rate of 0% and 6.1%, respectively. For UFNA patients, it was 24.0% and 42.1% at 2 and 4 years, respectively (P < .0001). The overall (FNA and UFNA) migration rate was 7.1% and 17.1% at 2 and 4 years, respectively. Overall, late graft-related complications occurred in 38% of patients (FNA, 27%; UFNA, 64%; P = .003; relative risk, 1.7). There was no incidence of late rupture or open conversion. The relative risk of migration for UFNA patients was 2.5 compared with FNA patients (P = .0003). A larger neck angle and a longer initial graft to renal artery distance were predictors of migration, whereas shorter neck length approached but did not reach statistical significance.
    Conclusions: Patients who have unfavorable aneurysm neck anatomy experience significantly higher migration, device-related complication, and secondary intervention rates. However, there was no incidence of open conversion, rupture, or abdominal aortic aneurysm-related death, thereby supporting the AneuRx device as a feasible alternative to open repair even in patients with challenging neck characteristics. Enhanced surveillance should be used in these high-risk patients.

    Abstract Interferon-like proteins synthesized by conceptuses of domestic ruminants inhibit luteolysis during early pregnancy. Although pig conceptuses secrete trophoblast interferons during the period of CL maintenance, estrogen is involved with maintenance of the CL. The principal purposes of this work were to confirm production of trophoblast interferons by porcine conceptuses and to compare the effect of trophoblast interferons on endometrium of pigs and cattle. When measured using Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells challenged with vesicular stomatitis virus, antiviral activity in uterine flushings from cyclic gilts was not detectable throughout the estrous cycle; however, in pregnant gilts, antiviral activity increased from undetectable amounts to 4-11 x 10(3) U on Days 14, 16, and 18. Porcine embryos in culture produced 1,100 U/embryo/ml/24 h. Porcine conceptus secretory proteins induced 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase in MDBK cells and in endometrial explants of cows but had no measurable effect on 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase activity of endometrial explants of pigs. Similarly, endometrial 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase of pregnant pigs was unaffected in vivo during the period of maximal synthesis of conceptus secretory proteins. Porcine conceptus secretory proteins produced no detectable increase in serum antiviral activity or 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase activity of blood mononuclear leukocytes in utero-ovarian venous blood. These results suggest that conceptus interferons of pigs play different roles in the establishment of pregnancy compared to their roles in ruminants.
