ANÁLISIS COMPARATIVO DEL GENOMA MITOCONDRIAL EN GASTRÓPODOS

Los genomas mitocondriales en el grupo Gastrópoda muestran altas tasas de variación entre ellos en cuanto a la organización de sus genomas lo que lo convierte en un excelente grupo modelo para el estudio de la evolución del genoma mitocondrial.  En este trabajo presentamos un análisis comparativo de los genomas mitocondriales en gastrópodos. Se calculó la composición de nucleótidos y de aminoácidos de todas las secuencias y se hizo un análisis visual comparativo de los codones de inicio y de parada. La organización del genoma se comparó calculando el número de secuencias intergénicas, la ubicación de los genes y el número de reorganizaciones génicas (“breakpoints”) en comparación con la secuencia que se presume ancestral para el grupo. Para calcular si existen variaciones en las tasas de evolución molecular en el grupo, estas  últimas se calcularon utilizando el “relative rate test”. A pesar de las diferencias en el tamaño de los genomas, el número de amino acidos es mas conservado. La composicion nucleotidica y aminoacidica  es similar entre los Vetigastropoda, Ceanogastropoda y Neritimorpha en comparacion con Heterobranchia y Patellogastropoda. Los genomas mitocondriales para el grupo son muy compactos con pocas secuencias intergenicas, la unica excepción es el genoma de Patellogastropoda con 26.828 pb. Existe una alta variabilidad en cuanto a codones de inicio para los grupos Heterobranchia y Patellogastropoda y un aumento en el numero de genes reorganizados con respecto a la secuencia de O. vulgaris también para estos dos grupos. En general se rechaza la hipotesis de tasas de evolución molecular constante entre los grupos, excepto cuando se comparan los genomas de Neritimorpha y Vetigastropoda

Promoting education and awareness of local foods at UBC

Globalization of our food system has led to many detrimental effects, including a decrease in its environmental, economic, and social sustainability. The problems faced by today’s global food system are mirrored in the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) food system. For this reason, the Faculty of Land and Food Systems has partnered with other campus organizations to implement the UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP), aimed at increasing the long term sustainability of the UBC food system through re-localization. There are many facets to this project, and creating an educational campaign to promote awareness on campus of the benefits of consuming local foods is just one. Our group defines “local” as products produced in British Columbia (BC). Drawing on research, ideas, and proposals from our colleagues in previous years of AGSC 450, we have developed a campaign to educate the UBC population about the benefits of choosing to consume local foods. We propose a set of educational pieces, including logos, a pamphlet, posters, a laminated dry-erase poster, table tents, mini-posters, and a website as tools for our campaign. The campaign also includes an interactive event, Local Food Day, to be held on October 16th, 2006, in the Student Union Building (SUB) concourse. This event will involve campus food providers and community organizations, and will promote local foods in a fun and interactive manner. In order to implement this campaign in the fall of 2006, we suggest that the Faculty of Land and Food Systems hire a work study student. This is a cost efficient strategy as wages are subsidized by the UBC Financial Assistance and Awards Office. A practical timeline for the implementation of the campaign is provided in this paper, along with recommendations to both the UBCFSP partners and our future AGSC 450 (2007) colleagues.

Pericardiocentesis Outcomes in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension: A Nationwide Analysis from the United States

Pericardiocentesis (PC) in patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) and pericardial effusions has unclear benefits as it has been associated with acute hemodynamic collapse and increased mortality. Data on in-hospital outcomes in this population is limited. The National Inpatient Sample database was used to identify adult patients undergoing PC during hospitalizations between 2016 and 2020. Data was stratified by the presence or absence of PH. A multivariate regression model and case-control matching was used to estimate the association of PH with PC in-hospital outcomes. A total of 95,665 adults with a procedure diagnosis of PC were included, of which 7,770 had PH. Patients with PH tended to be older (67 ± 15.7) and female (56%), less frequently presented with tamponade (44.9% vs 52.4%). Patients with PH had significantly higher rates of CKD, coronary artery disease, heart failure, chronic lung disease, among other comorbidities. In the multivariate analysis, PC in PH was associated with higher all-cause mortality (aOR 1.40; CI: 1.30-1.51) and higher rates of post-procedure shock (aOR 1.53; CI: 1.30-1.81) compared to patients without PH. Mortality was higher among those with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) compared to other non-PAH PH groups (aOR 2.35, 95% CI: 1.46-3.80, p <0.001). Rates of cardiogenic shock (aOR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.38-1.61), acute respiratory failure (aOR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.48-1.64), and mechanical circulatory support use (aOR 1.86; 95% CI: 1.63-2.12) were also higher in patients with PH. There was no significant volume-outcome relationship between hospitals with high per annum pericardiocentesis volume compared to low volume hospitals in these patients. In conclusion, PC is associated with increased in-hospital mortality and higher rates of cardiovascular complications in patients with PH, regardless of WHO PH group. [Display omitted

Abstract 14541: Pericardiocentesis is Associated With Higher Mortality in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension

Abstract only Background: Pericardiocentesis in patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) and pericardial effusions has unclear benefits, as it has been associated with acute hemodynamic collapse and increased mortality. Data on in-hospital outcomes in this population is limited. Aims. Describe pericardiocentesis-related patient characteristics and in-hospital outcomes in patients with PH versus without. Methods: The National Inpatient Sample database was used to identify adult patients undergoing pericardiocentesis during hospitalizations between 2016 and 2020. Data were stratified between patients with and without PH. A multivariate regression model was used to estimate the association of PH with pericardiocentesis in-hospital outcomes, adjusting for statistically significant comorbidities. Results: A total of 95,665 hospitalizations with a procedure diagnosis of pericardiocentesis were included, of which 7,770 had PH. Patients with PH tended to be older (67 ± 15.7) and female (56%), had significantly higher rates of hypertension (79% vs 66%, P<0.01), diabetes (26% vs 17%, P<0.01), chronic lung disease (32% vs 23%, P<0.01), chronic liver disease ( 15% vs 12%, P<0.01), CKD ( 44% vs 25%, P<0.01), and chronic heart failure (19% vs 10%, P<0.01). Pericardiocentesis in PH was associated with higher in-hospital all-cause mortality, post-procedure shock, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and mechanical circulatory support compared to patients without PH. Those presenting with cardiac tamponade had higher odds of mortality, post-procedural shock, and mechanical circulatory support (Figure 1) compared to patients without PH. All P values were < 0.001. Conclusion: PH was associated with higher mortality and a higher rate of cardiovascular complications in patients undergoing pericardiocentesis. Those presenting with tamponade had particularly worse outcomes. Further research on the outcomes of pericardiocentesis in these patients is needed

Abstract 12686: Serious Complications Occur in Patients With Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Who Develop In-Hospital Infective Endocarditis

Abstract only Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a well-recognized treatment for severe aortic stenosis. One potentially life-threatening complication of TAVR is infective endocarditis (IE). There is limited contemporary data on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing TAVR who develop in-hospital IE. Aim: Describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing TAVR who develop in-hospital IE. Methods: The National Inpatient Sample Database was queried from 2016 to 2020 for relevant ICD-10 procedural and diagnostic codes. Baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of adult (≥18 years) patients undergoing TAVR who developed in-hospital IE were compared to that of patients who did not develop IE. Multivariate logistic-regression analyses adjusting for age, race, gender, and statistically significant comorbidities between cohort's were performed. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 314,250 hospitalizations for patients undergoing TAVR were identified. Of them, 1065 (0.3%) developed in-hospital IE. Overall, mean age of IE patients was 70.3 ± 15.0. Patients were predominantly (62%) males and white (79.5%) ( Table 1) . IE patients had a higher risk of in-hospital all-cause mortality (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI]: 2.07 [1.50-2.86]), septic shock (3.73 [2.71-5.13]), acute respiratory failure (2.59 [2.19-3.06]), ischemic stroke (4.4 [3.48-5.51]), acute kidney injury (3.05 [2.61-3.57]), cardiac arrest (2.82 [1.83-4.37] and cardiogenic shock 3.70 [2.98-4.57]). All p values were <0.01. Conclusion: Patients undergoing TAVR who develop in-hospital IE had higher in-hospital complications when compared to those of patients who did not develop IE. Although the rate of in-hospital IE was low, the number of patients identified in the NIS database was sizable and the syndrome deserves investigation due to its associated complications
