    Abstract A recent study on the glare protection performance of electrochromic (EC) glazing showed that visible transmittance levels lower than 0.6% are necessary to achieve comfortable situations for sun positions, that were close to the central field of view. However, the question that arises is how often such situations occur throughout the year and how the glare protection performance of EC systems is for typical office situations for different climates and orientations. This study aims to quantify the annual performance for such configurations by applying improved simulation methods to conduct annual glare simulations and comparing them to the EN17037 classifications. The enhancement of the simulation method compared to existing methods was necessary to correctly consider the blurring effect in the lens of the eye – neglecting this would lead to an overestimation of glare. We found that for mid and north European climates the extreme situations do not occur such often, so that the ECglazing systems being able to switch to transmittance levels of 1% can mitigate glare throughout the year reasonably well for typical office situations and reaches typically the highest glare protection category according to EN17037 for a viewing direction, that is parallel to the facade. For more sunny climates such as Rome, slightly lower transmittance levels (around 0.5%) would be necessary to achieve a similar glare protection level. The study also revealed that tables E.7 and E.8 of EN17037 with pre-calculated 95-percentile Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) values should be re-calculated.

    Abstract Background: Computer vision syndrome is a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer use. The worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) lockdown has led to an increase in the digital screen exposure as jobs as well as academic learning have majorly shifted online. This has caused an increase in digital eye strain (DES) globally. The aims and objectives of this study were to compare the knowledge, attitude, and practices among medical and nonmedical professionals with regard to DES in a background of COVID-19 lockdown.
    Materials and methods: A cross-sectional, observational, online questionnaire-based research survey analysis was conducted among medical professionals with age- and sex-matched nonmedical professionals. Responses were collected over a week and analyzed. The level of significance was set at a
    Results: Our study included 353 (50.4%) medical and 347 (49.6%) nonmedical personnel. It was noted that 266 (75.4%) of medical professionals and 268 (77.2%) of nonmedical professionals experienced eye problems after prolonged digital screen exposure. A significant proportion of respondents experienced an increase in symptoms following COVID-19 lockdown with 140 (52.6%) being medical professionals and 163 (60.8%) nonmedical professionals (
    Conclusions: DES is a preventable lifestyle-associated disorder. Awareness among the masses can reduce the adverse effects. Proper lighting, adequate viewing distance, voluntary blinking, and using lubricating eye drops are a few ways to reduce the chances of DES. Further studies are needed to formulate standardized guidelines for the management of DES.

    Abstract Purpose: Fenestrated atrial septal defects (F-ASDs) in the pediatric population pose a challenge for transcatheter device closure since multiple devices are not preferred in small hearts. Oversizing the Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO) to cover the surrounding fenestrations usually distorts the central waist as well as the disc profile and often defeats the purpose. This is a retrospective observational study with an aim to assess the feasibility and safety of cribriform ASO in closing F-ASDs in small children.
    Methods: Sixteen children with F-ASD who underwent device closure with cribriform ASO were included in the study. The fenestrated septal length (FSL) and the total septal length (TSL) were measured on transesophageal echocardiogram. A device size which was 1.5-2 times the FSL but smaller than the TSL was selected. The defect was closed with a device passed through a relatively centrally placed smaller fenestration.
    Results: The median age of the cohort was 5 years (2.5-10.5). Majority (14/16) required 25 or 30 mm cribriform ASO. Aneurysmal interatrial septum was seen in most of our patients (11/15). All the patients had successful device implantation. Complete closure of the defect was seen in 11 patients while 5 patients had insignificant residual shunt at a median follow-up of 40 months (1-60 months). There were no other complications.
    Conclusions: Cribriform ASO can be used safely and effectively in closing F-ASDs in children. Deployment of the device through a small central hole allows covering maximum fenestrations and gives more stability to the device. Residual shunts, although not infrequent, are insignificant.

    Abstract Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a powerful tool to refine atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk assessment. Despite its growing interest, contemporary public attitudes around CAC are not well-described in literature and have important implications for shared decision-making around cardiovascular prevention. We used an artificial intelligence (AI) pipeline consisting of a semi-supervised natural language processing model and unsupervised machine learning techniques to analyze 5,606 CAC-related discussions on Reddit. A total of 91 discussion topics were identified and were classified into 14 overarching thematic groups. These included the strong impact of CAC on therapeutic decision-making, ongoing non-evidence-based use of CAC testing, and the patient perceived downsides of CAC testing (e.g., radiation risk). Sentiment analysis also revealed that most discussions had a neutral (49.5%) or negative (48.4%) sentiment. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of an AI-based approach to analyze large, publicly available social media data to generate insights into public perceptions about CAC, which may help guide strategies to improve shared decision-making around ASCVD management and public health interventions.

    Abstract Understanding the factors that influence the human perception of glare is necessary to properly address glare risks in buildings and achieve comfortable visual environments, especially in the workplace. Yet large inter-individual variabilities in glare perception remain unexplained and thus uncovered by the current empirical glare models. We hypothesize that this variability has an origin in the human retina, in particular in the density of macular pigments present in its central area, which varies between individuals. Macular pigments are known to absorb blue light and attenuate chromatic aberration, thus reducing light scatter. This study presents the outcomes of the first experiment ever conducted in a daylit office environment, in which glare sensitivity and macular pigment density were measured and compared for 110 young healthy individuals, along with other ocular parameters. The participants were exposed to different glare conditions induced by the sun filtered through either color-neutral or blue-colored glazing. In neutral daylight conditions with sun disc in the near periphery, neither macular pigment nor any other investigated ocular factors have an impact on discomfort glare perception whereas glare perception in conditions with the blue-colored sun disc in the near periphery was found to be correlated with macular pigment optical density.

    Abstract Stenting of the arterial duct (PDA) has become a standard palliation for ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation. Carotid arterial access provides a direct route for stenting vertical ducts. We evaluated our early results of hybrid ductal stenting via surgical carotid cutdown.
    Methods and results: In this retrospective single centre cohort study, hybrid PDA stenting was attempted in 11 patients with "flip technique", between January 2020 and February 2021, and was successful in 10. Median age was 29 days (interquartile range 17.5-87) and mean weight 3.37 ± 1.23 kg. Mean fluoroscopy time was 13.58 ± 5.35 minutes, mean procedure time was 48.50 ± 22.5 minutes, and mean radiation dose was 1719.5 ± 1217.6 mGycm
    Conclusion: This study adds to the limited literature on ductal stenting with carotid access and the flip technique. In our early experience, the hybrid carotid approach is an attractive alternative to percutaneous carotid puncture and has simplified a complex and challenging intervention, with good outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor that has been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in diabetic patients with and without heart failure (HF). Whether the clinical benefits and safety profile of canagliflozin are different in those on a beta blocker and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (BB + RAASi) is unknown.
    Methods: We pooled participants with HF at baseline from the CANVAS Program and CREDENCE trial and assessed major adverse cardiovascular events and its components; hospitalization for heart failure (HHF); HHF or CV death; all-cause mortality; a renal composite; and a combined renal and CV composite.
    Results: Of 14,543 participants, 2113 had HF at baseline, and 1280 were on BB + RAASi. In those with a history of HF, participants on BB + RAASi therapy were more likely to have coronary atherosclerotic disease (82 vs 72%, p < 0.001), history of myocardial infarction (42 vs 29%, p < 0.001), higher mean body mass index (34 vs 32 kg/m
    Conclusion: Canagliflozin mostly improved CV and kidney outcomes in participants with a history of HF irrespective of use of BB + RAASi at baseline, with possible greater benefit on HHF/CV death in participants on BB + RAASi.
