    Kurzfassung: A 15-month-old full-term boy of African descent with an asymptomatic sickle cell trait presented with episodes of transient erythematous subcutaneous nodules involving the entire body except the face, since 2 weeks of age. The skin lesions evolved to areas of lipoatrophy and hyperpigmentation. An initial skin biopsy, studied at a different department at 2 months, was initially misinterpreted as subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn, despite the lack of the typical radiated crystals and needle-shaped clefts characterizing that entity. At 4 months of age, he developed systemic inflammatory manifestations, including fever, a new rash, significant periorbital edema, and failure to thrive. An extensive workup showed leukocytosis, hypercalcemia, elevated inflammatory markers, hypertriglyceridemia, and transaminitis. A new skin biopsy of the eyelid was diagnosed as neutrophilic lobular panniculitis with necrotic adipocytes. An initial whole-exome sequencing did not identify any causative mutations, but a WES reanalysis focused on autoinflammatory disorders was requested based on additional clinicopathologic data and revealed a mosaic intronic mutation in IKBKG c. 671+3 G 〉 C. This mutation encodes an mRNA missing exon 5 resulting in NF-kB essential modulator (NEMO) Δ-exon 5–autoinflammatory syndrome (NDAS). NEMO-NDAS is one of the systemic autoinflammatory diseases that may appear as an unexplained panniculitis in young children, who should be monitored for immunodeficiency and/or autoinflammatory diseases. The differential diagnosis of autoinflammatory disorders should be considered in such cases incorporating the use of the whole-genome/exome sequencing in the investigation. The inhibitor of kappa-B kinase regulatory subunit gamma ( IKBKG ) is located on chromosome Xq28 and encodes the NEMO, a critical molecule upstream of NF-kB activation.

    Kurzfassung: Chronic kidney disease with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate or elevated albuminuria increases risk for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. This study assessed the effects of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on stroke and atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL) from CREDENCE (Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes With Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation) and a meta-analysis of large cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) of SGLT2i in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: CREDENCE randomized 4401 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease to canagliflozin or placebo. Post hoc, we estimated effects on fatal or nonfatal stroke, stroke subtypes, and intermediate markers of stroke risk including AF/AFL. Stroke and AF/AFL data from 3 other completed large CVOTs and CREDENCE were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Results: In CREDENCE, 142 participants experienced a stroke during follow-up (10.9/1000 patient-years with canagliflozin, 14.2/1000 patient-years with placebo; hazard ratio [HR], 0.77 [95% CI, 0.55–1.08] ). Effects by stroke subtypes were: ischemic (HR, 0.88 [95% CI, 0.61–1.28]; n=111), hemorrhagic (HR, 0.50 [95% CI, 0.19–1.32] ; n=18), and undetermined (HR, 0.54 [95% CI, 0.20–1.46]; n=17). There was no clear effect on AF/AFL (HR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.53–1.10] ; n=115). The overall effects in the 4 CVOTs combined were: total stroke (HR pooled , 0.96 [95% CI, 0.82–1.12]), ischemic stroke (HR pooled , 1.01 [95% CI, 0.89–1.14]), hemorrhagic stroke (HR pooled , 0.50 [95% CI, 0.30–0.83]), undetermined stroke (HR pooled , 0.86 [95% CI, 0.49–1.51]), and AF/AFL (HR pooled , 0.81 [95% CI, 0.71–0.93]). There was evidence that SGLT2i effects on total stroke varied by baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate ( P =0.01), with protection in the lowest estimated glomerular filtration rate ( 〈 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ]) subgroup (HR pooled , 0.50 [95% CI, 0.31–0.79]). Conclusions: Although we found no clear effect of SGLT2i on total stroke in CREDENCE or across trials combined, there was some evidence of benefit in preventing hemorrhagic stroke and AF/AFL, as well as total stroke for those with lowest estimated glomerular filtration rate. Future research should focus on confirming these data and exploring potential mechanisms. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT02065791.

    Kurzfassung: We aim to assess whether time of day modified the treatment effect in the RACECAT trial (Direct Transfer to an Endovascular Center Compared to Transfer to the Closest Stroke Center in Acute Stroke Patients With Suspected Large Vessel Occlusion Trial), a cluster-randomized trial that did not demonstrate the benefit of direct transportation to a thrombectomy-capable center versus nearest local stroke center for patients with a suspected large vessel stroke triaged in nonurban Catalonia between March 2017 and June 2020. Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis of RACECAT to evaluate if the association between initial transport routing and functional outcome differed according to trial enrollment time: daytime (8:00 am –8:59 pm ) and nighttime (9:00 pm –7:59 am ). Primary outcome was disability at 90 days, as assessed by the shift analysis on the modified Rankin Scale score, in patients with ischemic stroke. Subgroup analyses according to stroke subtype were evaluated. Results: We included 949 patients with an ischemic stroke, of whom 258 patients(27%) were enrolled during nighttime. Among patients enrolled during nighttime, direct transport to a thrombectomy-capable center was associated with lower degrees of disability at 90 days (adjusted common odds ratio [acOR] , 1.620 [95% CI, 1.020–2.551]); no significant difference between trial groups was present during daytime (acOR, 0.890 [95% CI, 0.680–1.163] ; P interaction =0.014). Influence of nighttime on the treatment effect was only evident in patients with large vessel occlusion(daytime, acOR 0.766 [95% CI, 0.548–1.072]; nighttime, acOR, 1.785 [95% CI, 1.024–3.112] ; P interaction 〈 0.01); no heterogeneity was observed for other stroke subtypes ( P interaction 〉 0.1 for all comparisons). We observed longer delays in alteplase administration, interhospital transfers, and mechanical thrombectomy initiation during nighttime in patients allocated to local stroke centers. Conclusions: Among patients evaluated during nighttime for a suspected acute severe stroke in non-urban areas of Catalonia, direct transport to a thrombectomy-capable center was associated with lower degrees of disability at 90 days. This association was only evident in patients with confirmed large vessel occlusion on vascular imaging. Time delays in alteplase administration and interhospital transfers might mediate the observed differences in clinical outcome.

    Kurzfassung: Atrial fibrillation (AF) may exist before or occur early in the course of pulmonary embolism (PE). We determined the PE outcomes based on the presence and timing of AF. Methods and Results Using the data from a multicenter PE registry, we identified 3 groups: (1) those with preexisting AF, (2) patients with new AF within 2 days from acute PE (incident AF), and (3) patients without AF. We assessed the 90‐day and 1‐year risk of mortality and stroke in patients with AF, compared with those without AF (reference group). Among 16 497 patients with PE, 792 had preexisting AF. These patients had increased odds of 90‐day all‐cause (odds ratio [OR], 2.81; 95% CI, 2.33–3.38) and PE‐related mortality (OR, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.37–4.14) and increased 1‐year hazard for ischemic stroke (hazard ratio, 5.48; 95% CI, 3.10–9.69) compared with those without AF. After multivariable adjustment, preexisting AF was associated with significantly increased odds of all‐cause mortality (OR, 1.91; 95% CI, 1.57–2.32) but not PE‐related mortality (OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 0.85–2.66). Among 16 497 patients with PE, 445 developed new incident AF within 2 days of acute PE. Incident AF was associated with increased odds of 90‐day all‐cause (OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.75–2.97) and PE‐related (OR, 3.64; 95% CI, 2.01–6.59) mortality but not stroke. Findings were similar in multivariable analyses. Conclusions In patients with acute symptomatic PE, both preexisting AF and incident AF predict adverse clinical outcomes. The type of adverse outcomes may differ depending on the timing of AF onset.

    Kurzfassung: The choice of the imaging modality for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) could be influenced by provider, patient or hospital characteristics, or over time. However, little is known about the choice of the diagnostic modalities in practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variations in the use of imaging modalities for patients with acute PE. Methods: Using the data from Registro Informatizado Enfermedad TromboEmbolica (RIETE), a prospective international registry of patients with venous thromboembolism (March 2001–January 2019), we explored the imaging modalities used in patients with acute PE. The imaging modalities included computed tomography pulmonary angiography, ventilation/perfusion scanning, pulmonary angiography, a combination of these tests, or PE signs and symptoms plus imaging-confirmed proximal deep vein thrombosis but no chest imaging. Results: Among 38 025 patients with confirmed PE (53.1% female, age: 67.3±17 years), computed tomography pulmonary angiography was the dominant modality of diagnosis in all RIETE enrollees (78.2% [99% CI, 77.6–78.7]); including pregnant patients (58.9% [99% CI, 47.7%–69.4%] ) and patients with severe renal insufficiency (62.5% [99% CI, 59.9–65.0]). A greater proportion of patients underwent ventilation/perfusion scanning in larger hospitals compared with smaller hospitals (13.1% versus 7.3%, P 〈 0.001). The use of computed tomography pulmonary angiography varied between 13.3% and 98.3% across the countries, and its use increased over time (46.5% in 2002 to 91.7% in 2018, P 〈 0.001). Conclusions: In a large multinational PE registry, variations were observed in the use of imaging modalities according to patient or institutional factors and over time. However, computed tomography pulmonary angiography was the dominant modality of diagnosis, even in pregnancy and severe renal insufficiency. The safety, costs, and downstream effects of these tests on PE-related and non-PE-related outcomes warrant further investigation.

    Kurzfassung: Declines in stroke admission, IV thrombolysis (IVT), and mechanical thrombectomy volumes were reported during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a paucity of data on the longer-term effect of the pandemic on stroke volumes over the course of a year and through the second wave of the pandemic. We sought to measure the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the volumes of stroke admissions, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), IVT, and mechanical thrombectomy over a 1-year period at the onset of the pandemic (March 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021) compared with the immediately preceding year (March 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020). Methods We conducted a longitudinal retrospective study across 6 continents, 56 countries, and 275 stroke centers. We collected volume data for COVID-19 admissions and 4 stroke metrics: ischemic stroke admissions, ICH admissions, IVT treatments, and mechanical thrombectomy procedures. Diagnoses were identified by their ICD-10 codes or classifications in stroke databases. Results There were 148,895 stroke admissions in the 1 year immediately before compared with 138,453 admissions during the 1-year pandemic, representing a 7% decline (95% CI [95% CI 7.1–6.9]; p 〈 0.0001). ICH volumes declined from 29,585 to 28,156 (4.8% [5.1–4.6]; p 〈 0.0001) and IVT volume from 24,584 to 23,077 (6.1% [6.4–5.8]; p 〈 0.0001). Larger declines were observed at high-volume compared with low-volume centers (all p 〈 0.0001). There was no significant change in mechanical thrombectomy volumes (0.7% [0.6–0.9]; p = 0.49). Stroke was diagnosed in 1.3% [1.31–1.38] of 406,792 COVID-19 hospitalizations. SARS-CoV-2 infection was present in 2.9% ([2.82–2.97] , 5,656/195,539) of all stroke hospitalizations. Discussion There was a global decline and shift to lower-volume centers of stroke admission volumes, ICH volumes, and IVT volumes during the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with the prior year. Mechanical thrombectomy volumes were preserved. These results suggest preservation in the stroke care of higher severity of disease through the first pandemic year.

    Kurzfassung: Background and objectives: 18 FDG-PET imaging is used as clinical endpoint to monitor efficacy of drugs in atherosclerosis, but the link between disease activity and FDG uptake is not well understood. Previous studies in PCSK9 D374Y minipigs showed that FDG is taken up quantitatively in multiple plaque cell types. Here, we developed methods to alter disease activity of established atherosclerosis in PCSK9 D374Y minipigs and analyzed the ability of FDG-PET to monitor the changes and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Atherosclerosis was induced in PCSK9 D374Y minipigs by high-fat feeding for 12 months. Pigs were then either euthanized for analysis of baseline atherosclerosis (Baseline pigs, n=7) or subjected to a 3-months LDL- lowering intervention with low-fat diet (LF pigs, n=8) or low-fat diet supplemented with microsomal transfer protein inhibitor (BMS-212122, 0.5mg/kg/day, MTPi pigs, n=8). Wild-type pigs on low-fat diet provided non-atherosclerotic controls (n=5). 18 FDG-PET imaging was performed in all animals at the endpoint, and serial sections of the abdominal aorta, iliac and LAD arteries were analyzed for plaque morphology, lipid accumulation (Oil Red O), and macrophage content (CD68 and muramidase). In a separate experiment, abdominal plaques from Baseline (n= 5) and MTPi pigs (n=3) were analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing. Results: MTPi pigs reached low LDL cholesterol levels ( 〈 1.8 mM) and had significant reductions in plaque lipid content (56%, p=0.002) and necrotic area (50%, p=0.002) compared with Baseline pigs. Macrophage content was numerically, but not significantly, altered. 18 FDG signal was substantially reduced in MTPi compared with Baseline pigs (SUVmean 1.04 vs 1.54, p=0.019) reaching levels similar to non-atherosclerotic wild-type pigs (SUVmean 1.11). Analysis of scRNA-seq data indicated that reduced FDG uptake was explained by lowered glycolytic activity across multiple cell types, including macrophages, lymphocytes, and smooth muscle cells. Conclusion: 18 FDG-PET imaging can monitor disease activity in atherosclerosis because disease activity is associated with increased glycolysis across all of the major cell types of plaques.
