    Abstract Introduction: In the treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) with oral anticoagulant (OAC), the patients' adherence to therapy is a very important factor in stroke prevention. Aim: To investigate the one-year persistence of different OAC therapies (vitamin K antagonist [VKA] and new oral anticoagulants [NOAC]) in patients with AF. Method: The authors investigated the persistence of oral anticoagulant (OAC = VKA/NOAC) in atrial fibrillation using the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary prescriptions database on pharmacy claims between June 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016. Results: 122 870 patients met the inclusion criteria. 18 650 patients started OACs therapy newly (therapy-naïve group), while 104 220 were already on one of the OACs. Among new patients, the one-year persistence of NOACs was 65.7% and that of VKA was 39.0% (p<0.001). The one-year persistence rate was 72.6% for NOAC and 53.9% for VKA (p<0.001) in patients already on OACs. In the therapy-naïve group, the one-year persistence to rivaroxaban was 65.7%. To apixaban it was 62.6%, and to dabigatran it was 59.2% (logrank p<0.001 in all comparisons except rivaroxaban vs. apixaban: p = 0.017, and dabigatran vs. apixaban: p<0.01). The one-year persistence rate of patients treated with NOACs was 73.4% to rivaroxaban, 68.0% to apixaban, and 68.4% to dabigatran (logrank p<0.001 in all comparisons except apixaban vs. dabigatran, NS). Conclusions: The one-year persistence of NOACs was significantly higher in AF compared to VKA therapy (in therapy-naïve and in already treated patients, too). Among the NOACs, rivaroxaban has the best one-year persistence in all patient populations. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(20): 839-845.

    Abstract Precision therapy for a subgroup of genetically defined metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients may become a reality in the near future. DNA damage repair gene mutated prostate cancer might be vulnerable to treatment with PARP inhibitors (PARPi). PARPi clinical trials for prostate cancer investigate both germline and somatic genomic alterations of 43 genes for the applicability as genomic biomarker of PARPi sensitivity. Clinical trials with preliminary results show that

    Abstract The pathophysiology and consequences of early brain injury (EBI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remain incompletely understood. This study aims to investigate the role of orosomucoid (ORM) in aSAH, its potential as a marker for assessing the extent of EBI-induced damage, and its correlation with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and functional recovery over a 3-month period. We collected serum specimens 72 h post-aSAH to measure ORM levels. The study included 151 aSAH patients and 105 healthy subjects. The serum ORM levels within the patient cohort significantly exceeded those in the control group (

    Abstract Background/aim: Manual therapy (MT) is a frequently applied intervention offering individualized treatment in the clinic. In addition to the traditional approaches of MT, measuring molecular response to MT may offer better understanding of MT outcomes in order to provide specific personalized treatment. The aim of this study was to summarize MT-related registered clinical trials, as well as to search for any evidence on MT and genetics.
    Patients and methods: A comprehensive search was conducted within the Clinical Trials database with predefined keywords mining for all types of MT-related clinical trials.
    Results: From the 47 trials, 20 had results and 27 had no results. MT alleviated pain and improved function almost in all trials. One registered clinical trial had investigated molecular outcomes of MT.
    Conclusion: MT is an effective and individualized treatment offering option in the management of several conditions. Interestingly, a clinical trial was found investigating molecular genetics and MT pinpointing an already existing link between genetics and MT. Therefore, further clinical trials may focus on genetics and MT for providing specific personalized treatment in future.

    Abstract Long-COVID syndrome is associated with high healthcare costs, but its pathophysiology is not yet fully understood. Inflammation, renal impairment or disturbance of the NO system emerge as potential pathogenetic factors. We aimed to investigate the relationship between symptoms of long-COVID syndrome and serum levels of cystatin-c (CYSC), orosomucoid (ORM), l-arginine, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). A total of 114 patients suffering from long-COVID syndrome were included in this observational cohort study. We found that serum CYSC was independently associated with the anti-spike immunoglobulin (S-Ig) serum level (OR: 5.377, 95% CI: 1.822-12.361;

    Abstract Background: Long COVID is a condition characterized by long-term sequelae persisting after the typical convalescence period of COVID-19. Previous reports have suggested the role of an unsatisfactory immune response and impaired viral clearance in the pathogenesis of long COVID syndrome. We focused on potential associations between post-vaccination changes of antibody titers and the severity of long COVID symptoms and factors influencing the state of remission observed in patients with long COVID after vaccination.
    Methods: The severity of long COVID symptoms and serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike (S-Ig) and nucleocapsid (NC-Ig) levels were assessed in 107 post-COVID subjects at two time points: at baseline, and 17-24 weeks later. Besides, vaccination status was also assessed. Symptoms were evaluated based on the Chalder fatigue scale (CFQ-11) and visual analogue scale (VAS).
    Results: Serum level of S-Ig and NC-Ig at baseline were significantly higher in the patients with non-severe fatigue than those with severe fatigue, and this difference remained significant at follow-up in the case of NC-Ig. NC-Ig level above median was as an independent predictor for complete remission at follow-up. The difference in NC-Ig levels in subgroup analyses (severe fatigue vs. non-severe fatigue; complete remission vs. incomplete remission or progression) was found to be significant only in patients who received vaccination.
    Conclusions: The immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid may play a more important role than the spike in the course of long-term COVID syndrome.

    Abstract Background: The effect of post-vaccination adverse events on immunogenicity is unknown. We aimed to explore relationship between post-vaccination adverse reactions and antibody levels during 6-month follow-up.
    Methods: Blood was serially drawn from healthcare workers after the second dose of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine (Day 12, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180) and anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG (S-IgG) levels were measured. Following each vaccine dose, volunteers completed a questionnaire regarding adverse reactions (symptomatic vs. asymptomatic groups).
    Results: A total of 395 subjects received the second dose of the vaccine. The main results were as follows: (i) fever after the 2nd dose was independently associated with the median S-IgG level at all follow-up time points; (ii) significantly higher S-IgG levels were observed in the symptomatic group of patients without prior COVID-19 infection throughout the entire follow-up period; (iii) prior COVID-19 positivity resulted in higher S-IgG levels only in the asymptomatic group from Day 90 of the follow-up period; (iv) both prior COVID-19 disease with asymptomatic status and symptomatic status without prior COVID-19 infection resulted in similar S-IgG antibody levels; (v) significantly lower serum S-IgG levels were observed in smokers.
    Conclusion: Fever may play an important role in the post-vaccination immune response in the long term.

    Abstract Background: It is known that adverse reactions following SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations show a positive correlation with the subsequent antibody titer. However, it is not clear how the adverse reactions following the booster vaccination are related to the antibody levels that can be measured after a 3rd dose. The primary goal of this study was to investigate whether the adverse reactions following the booster vaccination show a correlation with subsequent antibody levels.
    Methods: Adverse reactions occurring within 7 days after the 3rd vaccination were recorded and the anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein immunoglobulin (Ig) level in the venous blood was measured on post-vaccination 14th, 60th and 120th days.
    Results: A total of 218 volunteers were included in the study.
    Main findings: (i) The adverse reactions that appeared after the booster dose did not show a positive correlation with the subsequent antibody level, except a correlation in the case of fever; (ii) there were more symptomatic patients in the group receiving heterologous booster vaccine, (iii) fever after the 2nd dose was independently associated with a reduction in the likelihood of COVID-19 positivity after the booster dose.
    Conclusion: No adverse reactions, but fever showed a correlation with the antibody level after the booster SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

    Abstract Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and ADAMTS13 have previously been implicated in the pathophysiological processes of SAH. In the present study, we aim to examine their role in the early period of SAH and their relationship to primary and secondary outcomes. Serum samples were collected at five time periods after SAH (at 24 h (D1), at 72 h (D3), at 120 h (D5), at 168 h (D7) and at 216 h (D9), post-admission) and) were measured by using MILLIPLEX Map Human Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Magnetic Bead Panel 2. We included 150 patients with SAH and 30 healthy controls. GDF-15 levels at D1 to D9 were significantly associated with a 3-month unfavorable outcome. Based on the ROC analysis, in patients with a good clinical grade at admission (WFNS I-III), the GDF-15 value measured at time point D3 predicted a 3-month unfavorable outcome (cut-off value: 3.97 ng/mL, AUC:0.833, 95%CI: 0.728-0.938, sensitivity:73.7%, specificity:82.6%,
