- Abstract
Objective: The current study examined links between adverse mental health, job strain, and likelihood and frequency of primary care consultations among police employees., Methods: We conducted secondary data analysis on the Airwave Health Monitoring Study data ( n = 33,730). Measures included self-report data on mental health, job strain, job support, and primary care consultations in the past 12 months. Data were analyzed using a zero-inflated Poisson regression framework., Results: Findings showed that overall, help seeking was low based on mental health status and job strain. Adverse mental health was associated with more primary care consultations. Police employees with high, active, or passive job strain reported more primary care consultation compared with police employees with low strain., Conclusions: Findings suggest that more work to reduce stigma of taking the initial step of help seeking would be beneficial., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest: N.T.F. reports grants from the UK MoD and Office for Veterans' Affairs (Cabinet Office), is a trustee (unpaid) of Help for Heroes, is a member of the Emergency Responders Senior Leaders Board, the Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation, and is an independent advisor to the Independent Group Advising NHS Digital on the Release of patient Data (IGARD).

- Abstract
Objective: To conduct a systematic literature review to identify social and occupational factors affecting the psychological wellbeing of healthcare workers involved in the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) crisis., Methods: Four literature databases were searched and data extracted from relevant papers., Results: Eighteen thousand five papers were found and 22 included in the review. The psychological impact of SARS on employees appeared to be associated with occupational role; training/preparedness; high-risk work environments; quarantine; role-related stressors; perceived risk; social support; social rejection/isolation; and impact of SARS on personal or professional life., Conclusions: To minimize the psychological impact of future outbreaks of infectious diseases, healthcare workers should be prepared for the potential psychological impact; employers should encourage a supportive environment in the workplace and ensure that support is in place for those most at risk, for example, those with the most patient contact.

- Abstract
Objective: To explore the occupational experiences of private security contractors working in a war zone and how it impacts on their mental health., Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with seven contractors employed by a large UK-based private security company. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the interview transcripts. Participants also completed the 12-item General Health Questionnaire and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist., Results: Four overarching themes emerged: the appeal of the job; vulnerability; keep going; and seeking help for stress in the workplace. No clinically significant levels of distress were reported., Conclusions: Contractors are frequently exposed to stressors known to increase risk of psychiatric difficulty in military personnel. A number of potential protective factors were identified. Only a minority of participants were open to seeking help for mental health difficulties.

- Abstract
Objectives: Diplomats as a result of their work in conflict zones are "at risk" of exposure to intense psychological stressors. This study investigated the mental and physical health of diplomats working in a war zone., Methods: The study used a comparative retrospective cohort design. Mental and physical health outcomes were compared for two groups of United Kingdom diplomats: those who had completed postings in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, and those deployed overseas to nonhardship posts., Results: Diplomats posted to Iraq and Afghanistan and individuals who experienced trauma had significantly more symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. There were no significant differences between the groups in levels of general psychiatric morbidity, fatigue, and alcohol misuse., Conclusions: Although personnel who went to war zones or suffered trauma were more psychologically symptomatic, the increased burden of symptoms was not associated with frank illness.

- Abstract
Background: It is unknown whether longitudinal rotation (LR), often seen in cardiac resynchronization therapy candidates, may affect mitral annular early diastolic (E') velocities and tricuspid annular motion. We assessed whether (1) LR affects the amplitude and timing of septal and lateral mitral annular E' velocities and tricuspid annular systolic and E' velocities and (2) if systolic strain heterogeneity seen in cardiac resynchronization therapy patients with LR extends into diastole., Methods and Results: Ninety-nine cardiac resynchronization therapy candidates with suitable baseline echocardiograms were identified. Early diastolic (E') and systolic myocardial velocities of the tricuspid annulus and E' velocities of the septal and lateral part of the mitral annulus were analyzed from tissue Doppler images. Longitudinal rotation and basal systolic and diastolic strain rates were analyzed by speckle-tracking. LR correlated with lateral mitral annular E' (r= 0.45, P<0.001), tricuspid annular E' (r=-0.3, P=0.003), and with a difference between septal and lateral mitral annular E' velocities (r= -0.49, P<0.001) but not with septal mitral annular E' velocity. LR also correlated with tricuspid annular systolic velocity (r= 0.60, P<0.001). After categorizing the patients according to the quartiles of their LR, we showed that with decreasing quartile number, heterogeneity of systolic (P=0.003) but not diastolic (P>0.1) strain rates increased., Conclusions: LR direction and magnitude correlates with the amplitude of, and relative differences between, diastolic velocities of tricuspid, lateral mitral, and septal mitral annulus, which are a cornerstone of diastolic function assessment. LR is associated with systolic but not with diastolic regional heterogeneity.

- Abstract
Background: Animal studies have shown that dietary supplementation with arginine and lipids containing the omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids prolong allograft survival in animals receiving a short course of low-dose cyclosporine. They also reduce cardiovascular complications and infections in humans., Methods: Adult renal transplant patients receiving standard immunosuppression were stratified according to gender, diabetic state, donor source (LD or CD), and first versus repeat transplant, and randomized to receive or not receive supplemental arginine and canola oil (containing both omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids) twice daily. Patients were followed for a minimum of 3 years., Results: Seventy-six patients were randomized to the supplement group (S) and 71 patients to the control group (C). Intent-to-treat analysis revealed that S patients had fewer post-30 day first rejection episodes (5.4%) when compared with the C group (23.7%) (P=0.01) and fewer post-30 day episodes of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) drug toxicity (9.2% vs. 35.3%, P=0.003). S patients developed new onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) less frequently by 3 years (2.3% vs. 14.5%, P=0.04), had fewer cardiac events (5.0% vs. 17.1%, P=0.05), and fewer episodes of sepsis (6.5% vs. 18.7%, P=0.05)., Conclusions: Dietary supplementation with L-arginine and canola oil is a safe, inexpensive, and unique treatment, which is associated with decreased rejection rates and CNI toxicity after the first month in renal transplant patients. Due to reductions in NODM and cardiac events, long-term benefits for patient survival may be particularly important.

- Abstract
Background: Early diastolic intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPGs) have been proposed to relate to left ventricular (LV) elastic recoil and early ventricular "suction." Animal studies have demonstrated relationships between IVPGs and systolic and diastolic indices during acute ischemia. However, data on the effects of improvements in LV function in humans and the relationship to IVPGs are lacking., Methods and Results: Eight patients undergoing CABG and/or infarct exclusion surgery had a triple-sensor high-fidelity catheter placed across the mitral valve intraoperatively for simultaneous recording of left atrial (LA), basal LV, and apical LV pressures. Hemodynamic data obtained before bypass were compared with those with similar LA pressures and heart rates obtained after bypass. From each LV waveform, the time constant of LV relaxation (tau), +dP/dt(max), and -dP/dt(max) were determined. Transesophageal echocardiography was used to determined end-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic (ESV) volumes and ejection fractions (EF). At similar LA pressures and heart rates, IVPG increased after bypass (before bypass 1.64+/-0.79 mm Hg; after bypass 2.67+/-1.25 mm Hg; P<0.01). Significant improvements were observed in ESV, as well as in apical and basal +dP/dt(max), -dP/dt(max), and tau (each P<0.05). Overall, IVPGs correlated inversely with both ESV (IVPG=-0.027[ESV]+3.46, r=-0.64) and EDV (IVPG=-0.027[EDV]+4.30, r=-0.70). Improvements in IVPGs correlated with improvements in apical tau (Deltatau =5.93[DeltaIVPG]+4.76, r=0.91) and basal tau (Deltatau =2.41[DeltaIVPG]+5.13, r=-0.67). Relative changes in IVPGs correlated with changes in ESV (DeltaESV=-0.97[%DeltaIVPG]+23.34, r=-0.79), EDV (DeltaEDV=-1.16[%DeltaIVPG]+34.92, r=-0.84), and EF (DeltaEF=0.38[%DeltaIVPG]-8.39, r=0.85)., Conclusions: Improvements in LV function also increase IVPGs. These changes in IVPGs, suggestive of increases in LV suction and elastic recoil, correlate directly with improvements in LV relaxation and ESV.

- Abstract
Background: Infarct exclusion (IE) surgery, a technique of left ventricular (LV) reconstruction for dyskinetic or akinetic LV segments in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, requires accurate volume quantification to determine the impact of surgery due to complicated geometric changes., Methods and Results: Thirty patients who underwent IE (mean age 61+/-8 years, 73% men) had epicardial real-time 3-dimensional echocardiographic (RT3DE) studies performed before and after IE. RT3DE follow-up was performed transthoracically 42+/-67 days after surgery in 22 patients. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the values before and after IE surgery and at follow-up. Significant decreases in LV end-diastolic (EDVI) and end-systolic (ESVI) volume indices were apparent immediately after IE and in follow-up (EDVI 99+/-40, 67+/-26, and 71+/-31 mL/m(2), respectively; ESVI 72+/-37, 40+/-21, and 42+/-22 mL/m(2), respectively; P:<0.05). LV ejection fraction increased significantly and remained higher (0.29+/-0.11, 0.43+/-0.13, and 0.42+/-0.09, respectively, P:<0.05). Forward stroke volume in 16 patients with preoperative mitral regurgitation significantly improved after IE and in follow-up (22+/-12, 53+/-24, and 58+/-21 mL, respectively, P:<0.005). New York Heart Association functional class at an average 285+/-144 days of clinical follow-up significantly improved from 3.0+/-0.8 to 1.8+/-0.8 (P:<0.0001). Smaller end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes measured with RT3DE immediately after IE were closely related to improvement in New York Heart Association functional class at clinical follow-up (Spearman's rho=0.58 and 0.60, respectively)., Conclusions: RT3DE can be used to quantitatively assess changes in LV volume and function after complicated LV reconstruction. Decreased LV volume and increased ejection fraction imply a reduction in LV wall stress after IE surgery and are predictive of symptomatic improvement.

- Abstract
Background: Both laboratory and clinical studies have shown that dietary lipids may affect immunologic responses. This study was conducted to compare different classes of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids for their effect on allograft survival in animals receiving a donor-specific transfusion and a short course of low-dose cyclosporine (CsA)., Methods: Heterotopic ACI strain cardiac allografts were transplanted to Lewis strain rat recipients given diets with different lipid composition. In experiment 1, animals received CsA for 14 days and different diets were enriched with lipids with high concentrations of omega-3, omega-6, or omega-9 fatty acids. In experiment 2, animals received CsA for only 8 days and different diets were enriched with corn oil (omega-6), canola oil (omega-3 and omega-9), fish oil (omega-3) or a mixture of sunflower oil and fish oil (omega-3 and omega-9)., Results: In experiment 1, animals receiving the diet with 30% sunflower oil had the best allograft survival (200+/-42 days vs. 53+/-8 days for regular chow plus donor-specific transfusion and CsA, P<0.05). In experiment 2, diets containing canola oil (a mixture of omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids) were associated with the best survival (P=0.0011 vs. regular chow)., Conclusion: Dietary omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids both enhanced cardiac allograft survival in a stringent rat strain combination. Canola oil is a convenient oil for administering both alpha-linoleic acid (omega-3) and oleic acid (omega-9) in a palatable form for human consumption. Further investigation of the potential usefulness of lipids in transplant therapy is warranted.

- Abstract
Background: The time constant of ventricular relaxation (tau) is a quantitative measure of diastolic performance requiring intraventricular pressure recording. This study validates in humans an equation relating tau to left ventricular pressure at peak -dP/dt (P0), pressure at mitral valve opening (PMV), and isovolumic relaxation time (IVRTinv). The clinically obtainable parameters peak systolic blood pressure (Ps), mean left atrial pressure (PLA), and Doppler-derived IVRT (IVRTDopp) are then substituted into this equation to obtain tau Dopp noninvasively., Methods and Results: High-fidelity left atrial and left ventricular pressure recordings with simultaneous Doppler by transesophageal echocardiography were obtained from 11 patients during cardiac surgery. Direct curve fitting to the left ventricular pressure trace by Levenberg-Marquardt regression assuming a zero asymptote generated tau LM, the "gold standard" against which tau calc (IVRT inv/[ln(P0)-ln(PMV)]) and tau Dopp [IVRTDopp/[ln(Ps)-ln(PLA)]] were compared. For 123 cycles analyzed in 18 hemodynamic states, mean tau LM was 53.8 +/- 12.9 ms. tau calc (51.5 +/- 11 ms) correlated closely with this standard (r = .87, SEE = 5.5 ms). Noninvasive tau Dopp (43.8 +/- 11 ms) underestimated tau LM but exhibited close linear correlation (n = 88, r = .75, SEE = 7.5 ms). Substituting PLA = 10 mm Hg into the equation yielded tau 10 (48.7 +/- 15 ms), which also closely correlated with the standard (r = .62, SEE = 11.6 ms)., Conclusions: The previously obtained analytical expression relating IVRT, invasive pressures, and tau is valid in humans. Furthermore, a more clinically obtainable, noninvasive method of obtaining tau also closely predicts this important measure of diastolic function.

- Abstract
Background: We investigate pressure recovery in central and side orifices of St Jude valves and the effect of mitral versus aortic position on the relation between Doppler- and catheter-derived pressure gradients., Methods and Results: Maximum, transvalvular, and net pressure gradients are calculated and compared with Doppler-derived gradients in an in vitro model. Pressure recovery and pressure loss coefficients are calculated. Simultaneous Doppler and catheter gradients are obtained intraoperatively in five patients undergoing mitral valve replacement. Centerline Doppler gradients correspond closely with maximum catheter gradients but are higher than transvalvular and net pressure gradients. Thirty-six percent of the initial pressure drop is recovered between the valve leaflets and is independent of valve size or configuration. A variable amount of postvalvular pressure recovery is observed depending on aortic or mitral configuration. Side orifice velocities are 85 +/- 4% of the centerline velocities. Incorporation of the pressure loss coefficient in the simplified Bernoulli equation shows close agreement between centerline Doppler gradients and transvalvular gradients (r = .99, y = 1.11x-0.19)., Conclusions: Gradients across the St Jude valve measured by Doppler ultrasound are higher than transvalvular or net catheter gradients due to downstream pressure recovery. This is more marked for Doppler gradients based on centerline velocities than side orifice velocities and is more pronounced for valves in an aortic than a mitral configuration. Therefore, to be comparable with invasive transvalvular catheter gradients, either Doppler gradients should be calculated based on side orifice velocity measurements or the Doppler gradient calculation should include the pressure loss coefficient when based on central orifice velocities.
