Abstract	The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with increased risk of thromboembolic events, but the extent and duration of this hypercoagulable state remain unknown. We describe the first case report of renal allograft infarction in a 46-year-old kidney-pancreas transplant recipient with no prior history of thromboembolism, who presented 26 days after diagnosis of COVID-19. At the time of renal infarct, he was COVID-19 symptom free and repeat test for SARS-CoV-2 was negative. This case report suggests that a hypercoagulable state may persist even after resolution of COVID-19. Further studies are required to determine thromboprophylaxis indications and duration in solid organ transplant recipients with COVID-19.

Abstract	Background: Irregular pulsation of aneurysmal wall detected by four-dimensional CT angiography (4D-CTA) has been described as a novel imaging feature of aneurysm vulnerability. Our study aimed to investigate whether irregular pulsation is associated with symptomatic and ruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients with IAs who underwent 4D-CTA from January 2018 to July 2021. IAs were categorized as asymptomatic, symptomatic or ruptured. The presence of irregular pulsation (defined as a temporary focal protuberance ≥1 mm on more than three successive frames) was identified on 4D-CTA movies. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the parameters associated with aneurysm symptomatic or ruptured status. Results: Overall, 305 patients with 328 aneurysms (37 ruptured, 60 symptomatic, 231 asymptomatic) were included. Ruptured and symptomatic IAs were significantly larger in size compared with asymptomatic IAs (median (IQR) 6.5 (5.1-8.3) mm, 7.0 (5.5-9.7) mm vs 4.7 (3.8-6.3) mm, p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively) and had more irregular pulsations (70.3%, 78.3% vs 28.1%, p<0.05). Irregular pulsation (OR 5.03, 95% CI 2.83 to 8.92; p<0.001) was independently associated with aneurysm symptomatic/ruptured status in the whole population. With unruptured IAs, both irregular pulsation (OR 6.31, 95% CI 3.02 to 13.20; p<0.001) and size (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.32; p=0.015) were independently associated with the symptoms. The combination of irregular pulsation and size increased the accuracy over size alone in identifying symptomatic aneurysms (AUC 0.81 vs 0.77, p=0.007) in unruptured IAs. Conclusion: In a large cohort of patients with IAs detected by 4D-CTA, the presence of irregular pulsation was independently associated with aneurysm symptomatic and ruptured status.

Abstract	The issue of decentralized adaptive safe tracking control for interconnected large-scale nonlinear systems (ILSNSs) with conflicted output constraints is discussed in this paper. By "conflicted output constraints", we mean that the output constraint functions conflict with reference signal, i.e., the reference signal is not completely constrained within the constraint range. In existing methods, it is always assumed that the reference signal is constrained within the constraint region. In practice, the constraints may be detected during system operation and conflict with the reference signal given in advance. In this particular case, the existing methods based on barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) or nonlinear transformation function (NTF) are invalid. From a new point of view, this article designs a new safety reference signal (SRS) which is completely restricted within the constraint range by using the boundary protection approach. Meanwhile, a prescribed performance function which can arbitrarily define the convergence time and tracking accuracy is introduced so that the system output can better track the SRS. Then, combining backstepping technique and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), a new controller is constructed, under which a desired tracking trajectory can be obtained under the premise of ensuring safety performance. Furthermore, by adding a dynamic event triggering mechanism (DETM) between the actuator and the plant, the communication burden is effectively reduced. Simulation results verify the scheme developed.

Abstract	The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with increased risk of thromboembolic events, but the extent and duration of this hypercoagulable state remain unknown. We describe the first case report of renal allograft infarction in a 46-year-old kidney-pancreas transplant recipient with no prior history of thromboembolism, who presented 26 days after diagnosis of COVID-19. At the time of renal infarct, he was COVID-19 symptom free and repeat test for SARS-CoV-2 was negative. This case report suggests that a hypercoagulable state may persist even after resolution of COVID-19. Further studies are required to determine thromboprophylaxis indications and duration in solid organ transplant recipients with COVID-19.

Abstract	Objective: To investigate whether there is a correlation between the inflammatory state and the pathogenesis and clinical features of sudden hearing loss (SHL) by studying the expression of inflammation-related cytokines in the peripheral blood of patients with SHL. Methods: In this work, we analyzed the cytokine profiles of 48 analytes in 38 patients with SHL compared to 38 healthy donors using a multiplex immunoassay. This study used appropriate statistical methods to screen for inflammatory cytokines associated with the pathogenesis of SHL, to analyze their network correlation, and to analyze the relationship between clinical features of SHL and inflammatory cytokines. Results: Several cytokines, including CTACK, Eotaxin, HGF, INF-α2, IFN-β, IL-1β, IL-1ra, IL-2Rα, IL-4, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12(p40), IL-13, MIG, β-NGF, SCF, and TNF-α, exhibited significantly higher levels in the peripheral blood of the SHL group compared to the control group. An inflammatory network composed of multiple cytokines, including IL-1β, is a risk factor for the development of SHL. Conclusion: This study identified several inflammatory cytokines with elevated expression, which may be linked with the onset of SHL. The results of this study also provide a basis for the theoretical hypothesis of inflammation in SHL. Level of evidence: III Laryngoscope, 2024.

Abstract	Objective: To investigated the influence of illness perceptions and other risk factors related to poor asthma control and quality of life in adult outpatients with asthma in China. Methods: Patients with a confirmed asthma diagnosis were recruited from the outpatient clinic at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University in Shanghai. Sociodemographic, psychological, and asthma related variables were assessed in all participants. Patients' illness perceptions, medication adherence, asthma control, and quality of life were assessed using validated questionnaires, such as the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS-A), the Asthma Control Test, and the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire. Multiple linear regressions and logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between illness perceptions, medication adherence behaviors, and disease outcome (i.e., asthma control and quality of life). Results: A total of two hundred thirty-one (231) outpatients with asthma were included in this cross-sectional study, 80 of whom (34.6%) had asthma that was uncontrolled. Patients who perceived their life (β = - 0.197, p < 0.001) and emotions (β = - 0.294, p < 0.001) as severely affected by the illness were more likely to have a lower quality of life, findings that were statistically significant. Also, patients who believed they had a higher degree of personal control over their illness (β = 0.333, p < 0.001), and had better medication adherence (β = 0.250, p < 0.001) were found to have a better quality of life. Conclusion: Our study indicated that illness perceptions and medication adherence have a significant impact on disease outcome. Both of these factors should be considered when determining the best health care practices or constructing a predictive intervention model for patients with uncontrolled asthma.

Abstract	Objectives: The primary problem in simultaneous bilateral auricle reconstruction is the fragility of the reconstructed ear structure. Postoperative pressure is strictly prohibited to ensure the operation's effectiveness. The study aimed to summarize the experience of perioperative postural management in simultaneous bilateral auricular reconstruction. Method: This study summarizes the experience of perioperative postural management, providing preoperative sleeping posture adaptability training, neck movement training, standardization of the head position angles and the head suspension time in surgery, using protective headrests, paying attention to the transfer and handover procedures, and using specially designed pillows. Results: The comprehensive nursing approach in simultaneous bilateral auricular reconstruction significantly reduced complications, improved patient comfort, and optimized postoperative adaptation. Preoperative posture training, standardized intraoperative head positions, and vigilant postoperative care played pivotal roles, demonstrating positive outcomes in 46 cases. Discussion: Perioperative position management can reduce the risk of complications and pressure injuries, improving patients' postoperative comfort, emotional state, tolerance, and adaptability. Conclusion: All ears were viable and in good shape after long-term follow-up. The experiences discussed in this study can be broadly applied to technically mature ear reconstruction teams.

Abstract	Objectives: To analyze the accuracy of a non-contrast MR vessel wall imaging technique, three-dimensional motion-sensitized driven equilibrium prepared rapid gradient echo (3D-MERGE) for diagnosing chronic carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) characteristics compared with 3D time-of-flight (TOF) MRA, and contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA), using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as a reference standard. Methods: Subjects diagnosed with possible CCAO by ultrasound were retrospectively analyzed. Patients underwent 3.0-T MR imaging with 3D-MERGE, 3D-TOF-MRA, and CE-MRA followed by DSA within 1 week. Diagnostic accuracy of occlusion, occlusion site, and proximal stump condition were assessed independently on 3 MRI sequences and DSA. Agreement of the above indicators was evaluated in reference to DSA. Results: One hundred twenty-four patients with 129 suspected CCAO (5 with bilateral occlusions) met the inclusion criteria for our study. 3D-MERGE demonstrated a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 97.0%, 86.7%, and 94.6%, respectively, with excellent agreement (Cohen's κ = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.71, 0.94) for diagnosing CCAO in reference to DSA. 3D-MERGE was superior in diagnosing CCAO compared with 3D-TOF-MRA (Cohen's κ = 0.61; 95% CI, 0.42, 0.77) and similar to CE-MRA (Cohen's κ = 0.93; 95% CI, 0.86, 1.00). 3D-MERGE also had excellent agreement compared with DSA for assessing occlusion sites (Cohen's κ = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.71, 0.97) and stump condition (Cohen's κ = 0.83; 95% CI, 0.71, 0.94). Moreover, 3D-MERGE provided additional information regarding the occluded segment, such as distal lumen collapse and vessel wall lesion components. Conclusion: 3D-MERGE can reliably assess chronic carotid occlusive characteristics and has the ability to identify other vessel wall features of the occluded segment. This non-contrast MR vessel wall imaging technique is promising for assessment of CCAO. Key points: • Excellent agreement was found between 3D-MERGE and DSA for assessing chronic carotid artery occlusion, occlusion site, and proximal stump condition. • 3D-MERGE was shown to be a more accurate and efficient tool than 3D-TOF-MRA to detect the characteristics of the occluded segment. • 3D-MERGE provides not only luminal images for characterizing the proximal characteristics of occlusion but also vessel wall images for assessing the distal lumen and morphology of occlusion segment, which might help clinicians to optimize the treatment strategy for patients with chronic carotid artery occlusion.
