    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the use of drug-coated balloons in a real-world patient population with peripheral arterial disease and analyse the impact of sex on mid-term outcomes following their utilisation.
    Methods: The BIOLUX P-III is a prospective, international, multi-centre, registry of patients with infra-inguinal lesions treated using the Passeo-18 Lux, a drug-coated balloon. Our study is a 24-month subgroup analysis of these patients; primary endpoints were freedom from major adverse events and clinically driven target lesion re-vascularisation within 12 months post-intervention.
    Results: Of the 877 patients in the registry, 561 (64.0%) were male and 316 (36.0%) were female. Chronic limb threatening ischaemia (Rutherford class ≥ 4) occurred in 35.7% of males and 40.6% of females. Rates of freedom from major adverse events and clinically driven target lesion re-vascularisation at 12 months were 87.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 84.2-89.9) and 90.4% (95% CI 86.5-93.3), and 92.3% (95% CI 89.9-94.1) and 92.9% (95% CI 89.7-95.1) in males and females, respectively. All-cause mortality at 24 months was 12.0% (95% CI 9.4-15.3) in males and 11.9% (95% CI 8.6-16.5) in females. The major target limb amputation rate at 24 months was 9.1% (95% CI 6.9-11.9) in males and 4.0% (95% CI 2.3-7.0) in females.
    Conclusion: Treatment with the Passeo-18 Lux DCB demonstrated high efficacy and low complication rates. Despite the greater proportion of chronic limb threatening ischaemia observed in females, males were at a greater risk of ipsilateral major limb amputation and major adverse events following drug-coated balloon utilisation.
    Clinical trial registration: NCT02276313.

    Title translation Confidence intervals and p-values in urology: interpretation and misinterpretation.
    Abstract Confidence intervals and p-values are widely used in the urological literature to describe and interpret outcomes. However, several readers, authors and reviewers are unfamiliar with the true interpretation of these values. P-values determine statistical significance of data. Confidence intervals characterize a range of values in which the true effect size is suggested to be with a given degree of certainty. An independent but complementary interpretation of both values is important in studies with and without statistical significance. Based on a clinical case scenario this article discusses the interpretation as well as common pitfalls in interpretation of p-values and confidence intervals. An accurate assessment of these statistical cornerstones is fundamental for a correct interpretation of the urological literature and thus important aspects of evidence-based urology.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of the BIOLUX P-III (A Prospective, International, Multi-Centre, Post-Market All-Comers Registry to Assess the Clinical Performance of the Passeo-18 Lux Paclitaxel Releasing Balloon Catheter in Infrainguinal Arteries - III) registry was to collect real-world data on the Passeo-18 Lux paclitaxel-coated balloon.
    Background: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a severe condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. Prospective data are needed to provide further insights on drug-eluting devices.
    Methods: BIOLUX P-III is a prospective, post-market, all-comers registry assessing the safety and performance of the Passeo-18 Lux. Clinical information was collected at 6, 12, and 24 months. The authors report 24-month outcomes of the CLI subgroup with patients in Rutherford classes 4 to 6.
    Results: The CLI subgroup included 328 patients with 422 lesions. Patients were 71.1 ± 10.5 years of age, and 61.0% had diabetes. Femoropopliteal lesions were present in 53.8% (n = 227), below-the-knee lesions were present in 27.0% (n = 114), and lesions were moderate or heavily calcified in 45.0% (n = 190). Major adverse events, defined as 30-day device- or procedure-related mortality, major target limb amputation, and clinically driven target lesion revascularization, occurred in 9.8% of patients through 6 months, in 14.9% through 12 months, and in 19.4% through 24 months. Clinically driven target lesion revascularization occurred in 4.4%, 8.5%, and 12.1%, major amputation in 4.9%, 5.2%, and 6.1%, and mortality in 8.1%, 11.1%, and 20.1%, respectively. Predictors of mortality were age ≥75 years and higher Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus Document on Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease class, and higher Rutherford class was associated with increased mortality and amputation rates.
    Conclusions: In a large, multimorbid patient population with complex lesions and CLI, the safety and performance of the Passeo-18 Lux paclitaxel-coated balloon has been confirmed, with low rates of major amputation and target lesion revascularization.

    Abstract The development of macro- and microvascular complications is accelerated in diabetic patients. While some therapeutic regimes have helped in delaying progression of complications, none have yet been able to halt the progression and prevent vascular disease, highlighting the need to identify new therapeutic targets. Increased oxidative stress derived from the NADPH oxidase (Nox) family has recently been identified to play an important role in the pathophysiology of vascular disease. In recent years, specific Nox isoforms have been implicated in contributing to the development of atherosclerosis of major vessels, as well as damage of the small vessels within the kidney and the eye. With the use of novel Nox inhibitors, it has been demonstrated that these complications can be attenuated, indicating that targeting Nox derived oxidative stress holds potential as a new therapeutic strategy.

    Abstract Volcanoes and fault zones are areas of increased heterogeneity in the Earth crust that leads to strong scattering of seismic waves. For the understanding of the volcanic structure and the role of attenuation and scattering processes it is important to investigate the distribution of heterogeneity. We used the signals of air-gun shots to investigate the distribution of heterogeneity around Mount Etna. We devise a new methodology that is based on the coda energy ratio which we define as the ratio between the energy of the direct P-wave and the energy in a later coda window. This is based on the basic assumption that scattering caused by heterogeneity removes energy from the direct P-waves. We show that measurements of the energy ratio are stable with respect to changes of the details of the time windows definitions. As an independent proxy of the scattering strength along the ray path we measure the peak delay time of the direct P-wave. The peak delay time is well correlated with the coda energy ratio. We project the observation in the directions of the incident rays at the stations. Most notably is an area with increased wave scattering in the volcano and east of it. The strong heterogeneity found supports earlier observations and confirms the possibility to use P-wave sources for the determination of scattering properties. We interpret the extension of the highly heterogeneous zone towards the east as a potential signature of inelastic deformation processes induced by the eastward sliding of flank of the volcano.

    Abstract Processing bodies (P-bodies) have recently come to the fore as important cellular sites of mRNA degradation and translational silencing. Despite these central functions in the control of gene expression, the roles of P-bodies have only been characterized in a limited number of cell types and physiological contexts. Neurons are highly plastic cells that undergo dynamic changes as new connections are made or existing ones modified. This neuronal plasticity relies, in part, on the local synthesis of proteins from localized mRNAs. A strict control of the translation and turnover of these localized mRNAs, both in terms of which proteins are synthesized and when and where they are produced, is a key prerequisite for this process to be synapse-specific. Despite recent advances, the molecular mechanisms mediating this control remain largely elusive. The discovery of P-bodies in neuronal dendrites near synapses and their response to stimuli involved in neuronal plasticity raises the interesting hypothesis that P-bodies might be a component of the cellular machinery that controls neuronal plasticity and thereby processes such as learning and memory.
