    Abstract Background: Therapeutic options for complex anal fistula (CAF) are limited. Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) allows examination of these anatomically complex fistulae from within. The aim of the present study was to evaluate outcomes of VAAFT for a series of CAF.
    Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on consecutive patients at a single centre with complex anal cryptoglandular and Crohn's fistulae managed with VAAFT from June 2016 to June 2019. CAF was diagnosed as high intersphincteric/transsphincteric tract, multiple/secondary tracts, horseshoe or anovaginal fistulae. Patients were treated with 'therapeutic intent' if the internal opening was closed at the time of ablation and 'diagnostic/staged/palliative' VAAFT if there was no ablation/partial treatment/ablation-only, respectively. Symptom improvement was a reduction in reported pain, discharge, or pad use.
    Results: Eighty-four patients (73 cryptoglandular, 11 Crohn's, M:F 2.5:1, median age 43 [22-77] years), underwent 105 VAAFT procedures. Twenty patients had > 1 VAAFT. Median follow-up was 8 (1-46) months. 40 (48%) had multiple or secondary tracts; an additional 16 (19%) had horseshoe and 3 (4%) anovaginal fistulae. Of the 84 patients, 19 [16/73 (22%) cryptoglandular and 3/11 (27%) Crohn's fistulae] healed. 34 (40%) unhealed reported improved symptoms; 23 (27%) no improvement; and 6 (7%) were worse. Sixteen (19%) had CAF > 5 years of whom none healed, albeit 50% reported symptom improvement. Five patients (6%) developed faecal incontinence: 2 temporary, 1 to flatus only and 1 to liquid and 1 to solid, all managed conservatively.
    Conclusions: VAAFT is a useful minimally invasive procedure for complex fistula with no other minimally invasive options. Complete healing is rare, and, although symptoms can be improved in a number of cases, there is a small risk of incontinence.

    Abstract Global environmental change has the potential to disrupt well established species interactions, with impacts on nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. On coral reefs, fish living within the branches of coral colonies can promote coral performance, and it has been hypothesized that the enhanced water flow and nutrients provided by fish to corals could ameliorate coral bleaching. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of small, aggregating damselfish on the health of their host corals (physiology, recovery, and survival) before, during, and after a thermal-bleaching event. When comparing coral colonies with and without fish, those with resident fish exhibited higher Symbiodinium densities and chlorophyll in both field and experimentally-induced bleaching conditions, and higher protein concentrations in field colonies. Additionally, colonies with damselfish in aquaria exhibited both higher photosynthetic efficiency (FV/FM) during bleaching stress and post-bleaching recovery, compared to uninhabited colonies. These results demonstrate that symbiotic damselfishes, and the services they provide, translate into measureable impacts on coral tissue, and can influence coral bleaching susceptibility/resilience and recovery. By mediating how external abiotic stressors influence coral colony health, damselfish can affect the functional responses of these interspecific interactions in a warming ocean.

    Abstract Mutualisms play a critical role in ecological communities; however, the importance and prevalence of mutualistic associations can be modified by external stressors. On coral reefs, elevated sediment deposition can be a major stressor reducing the health of corals and reef resilience. Here, we investigated the influence of severe sedimentation on the mutualistic relationship between small damselfishes (

    Abstract Mutualistic symbioses are ubiquitous in nature and facilitate high biodiversity and productivity of ecosystems by enhancing the efficiency of energy and nutrient use within ecological communities. For example, small groups of fish that inhabit coral colonies in reef ecosystems potentially enhance coral growth through defense from coral predators, aeration of coral tissue and nutrient provisioning. This study examines whether the prevalence and consequences of fish-coral interactions vary among sites with different environmental conditions in a coral reef lagoon, using the humbug damselfish Dascyllus aruanus and its preferred coral host Pocillopora damicornis as a study system. Using a field experiment, we tested the site-specific effects of D. aruanus on coral growth, and show that the cost-benefit ratio for corals hosting fish varies with local environmental variation. Results of this study also demonstrate that fish prefer to inhabit coral colonies with particular branch-spacing characteristics, and that the local abundance of D. aruanus influences the proportion of coral colonies within a site that are occupied by fish rather than increasing the number of fish per colony. We also show that corals consistently benefit from hosting D. aruanus via defense from predation by corallivorous butterflyfish, regardless of local environmental conditions. These findings highlight the need to consider the potential for multiple scale- and state-dependent interaction effects when examining the ecology of fish-coral associations. We suggest that fluctuating cost-benefit ratios for species interactions may contribute to the maintenance of different colony phenotypes within coral populations.

    Abstract The primary purpose of this report is to extend the range of the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) to include patients with nonorganic chest pain. Previous research with the MPI has not included this patient population, although this instrument has been used to derive an empirically based taxonomy of patient responses to chronic pain. Scale scores are provided for a sample of 43 chest pain patients and compared with normative scores from samples of chronic lower back pain patients and patients suffering from temporomandibular disorder. The MPI taxonomy was applicable for only 34.8% (N = 15) of this sample. Scale intercorrelations are examined and compared with those derived during development of the MPI, to explore reasons for this low classification rate. The results are discussed in light of cognitive-behavioral factors present in persistent chest pain, with implications for scale development and use of the MPI.

    Abstract Background: The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on postoperative recovery needs to be understood to inform clinical decision making during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study reports 30-day mortality and pulmonary complication rates in patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: This international, multicentre, cohort study at 235 hospitals in 24 countries included all patients undergoing surgery who had SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed within 7 days before or 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality and was assessed in all enrolled patients. The main secondary outcome measure was pulmonary complications, defined as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or unexpected postoperative ventilation. Findings: This analysis includes 1128 patients who had surgery between Jan 1 and March 31, 2020, of whom 835 (74·0%) had emergency surgery and 280 (24·8%) had elective surgery. SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed preoperatively in 294 (26·1%) patients. 30-day mortality was 23·8% (268 of 1128). Pulmonary complications occurred in 577 (51·2%) of 1128 patients; 30-day mortality in these patients was 38·0% (219 of 577), accounting for 81·7% (219 of 268) of all deaths. In adjusted analyses, 30-day mortality was associated with male sex (odds ratio 1·75 [95% CI 1·28–2·40], p<0·0001), age 70 years or older versus younger than 70 years (2·30 [1·65–3·22], p<0·0001), American Society of Anesthesiologists grades 3–5 versus grades 1–2 (2·35 [1·57–3·53], p<0·0001), malignant versus benign or obstetric diagnosis (1·55 [1·01–2·39], p=0·046), emergency versus elective surgery (1·67 [1·06–2·63], p=0·026), and major versus minor surgery (1·52 [1·01–2·31], p=0·047). Interpretation: Postoperative pulmonary complications occur in half of patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with high mortality. Thresholds for surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic should be higher than during normal practice, particularly in men aged 70 years and older. Consideration should be given for postponing non-urgent procedures and promoting non-operative treatment to delay or avoid the need for surgery.

    Abstract Mutualistic symbioses are ubiquitous in nature and facilitate high biodiversity and productivity of ecosystems by enhancing the efficiency of energy and nutrient use within ecological communities. For example, small groups of fish that inhabit coral colonies in reef ecosystems potentially enhance coral growth through defense from coral predators, aeration of coral tissue and nutrient provisioning. This study examines whether the prevalence and consequences of fish-coral interactions vary among sites with different environmental conditions in a coral reef lagoon, using the humbug damselfish Dascyllus aruanus and its preferred coral host Pocillopora damicornis as a study system. Using a field experiment, we tested the site-specific effects of D. aruanus on coral growth, and show that the cost-benefit ratio for corals hosting fish varies with local environmental variation. Results of this study also demonstrate that fish prefer to inhabit coral colonies with particular branch-spacing characteristics, and that the local abundance of D. aruanus influences the proportion of coral colonies within a site that are occupied by fish rather than increasing the number of fish per colony. We also show that corals consistently benefit from hosting D. aruanus via defense from predation by corallivorous butterflyfish, regardless of local environmental conditions. These findings highlight the need to consider the potential for multiple scale- and state-dependent interaction effects when examining the ecology of fish-coral associations. We suggest that fluctuating cost-benefit ratios for species interactions may contribute to the maintenance of different colony phenotypes within coral populations.
