6% vs. 57.2%, adjusted HR 0.54, 95%CI 0.30-0.98, p = 0.041). Regarding ERAS compliance, 320 patients were reviewed 232 (73%) with high compliance. The 5-year OS was 83.9% in high compliance and 69.6% in low compliance (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.29-0.83, p = 0.007). After adjustment with cancer staging, high compliance had better 5-year OS in stage III CRC only (80.5% vs. 60.7%, adjusted HR 0.44, 95%CI 0.23-0.84, p = 0.013).
ERAS was associated with improved 5-year OS following non-metastatic CRC surgery (especially stage III disease) than CC. High ERAS compliance had better OS than its counterpart.

The etiopathology of sporadic PD is still unclear; however, the interaction of extrinsic and intrinsic factors may play a critical role in the onset and progression of the disease. Studies in animal models and human post-mortem tissue have identified distinct cellular and molecular changes in the diseased brain, suggesting complex interactions between different glial cell types and various molecular pathways. Small changes in the expression of specific genes in a single pathway or cell type possibly influence others at the cellular and system levels. These molecular and cellular signatures like neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and autophagy have been observed in PD patients' brain tissue. While the etiopathology of PD is still poorly understood, the interplay between glial cells and molecular events may play a crucial role in disease onset and progression.
To perform a baseline survey on condition-specific information access among patients/parents/caregivers with rare endocrine disorders (RD) in Europe.
Electronic invitation to participate in a survey (19 questions) was sent to 120 patient advocacy groups (PAGs), and further distributed to 32 European countries.
A total of 1138 respondents from 22 countries (74% women), aged between 1 year (parents) and 70 years, participated. The Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy and France had highest participation rates. All Main Thematic Groups (MTGs) were represented; the adrenal (32%), pituitary (26%) and thyroid (22%) were the most common. Fenretinide manufacturer The majority of the respondents got information from their endocrinologist (75%), PAGs (37%) and expert reference centre (22%); 95% received information in their mother tongue. Leaflets (70%), infographics (65%), webinars (60%) and Internet films (55%) were preferred ways of learning. Respondents relied mostly on materials by PAGs and alliances (79%), rather than from specific international RD sites (15%). Fifty-six percent used Facebook, and 37% other social media, with a significant age difference (<40/>40 years) among non-users, 19% vs. 36%, p < 0.0001. Of all, 685 answered questions on informational materials for children-79% wanted materials that can be used by the children themselves. There was significant age difference (<40 years/>40 years) in the willingness to help create new educational materials; 49% vs. 34%, p < 0.001.
Our current patient information access survey provides a sound basis for further planning and execution of educational and teaching activities by Endo-ERN.

We assessed the prognostic value of structural abnormalities and coronary vasodilator function in diabetic patients referred to a PET/CT for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
We studied 451 diabetics and 451 nondiabetics without overt CAD and normal myocardial perfusion. Myocardial blood flow (MBF) was computed from the dynamic rest and stress imaging. Myocardial flow reserve (MFR) was defined as ratio of hyperemic to baseline MBF and was considered reduced when < 2.
During a mean follow-up of 44months 33 events occurred. Annualized event rate (AER) was higher in diabetic than nondiabetic patients (1.4% vs 0.3%, P < .001). Diabetic patients with reduced MFR had higher AER compared to those with preserved MFR (3.3% vs 0.4%, P < .001). At Cox analysis, age, BMI and reduced MFR were independent predictors of events in diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes and reduced MFR had lower event-free survival compared to nondiabetic patients and MFR < 2 (P < .001). Event-free survival was similar in patients with diabetes and normal MFR and those without diabetes and reduced MFR.
Diabetic patients with reduced MFR had higher AER and lower event-free survival compared to those with preserved MFR and to nondiabetic patients.

Acute protein turnover studies suggest lower anabolic response after ingestion of plant vs. animal proteins. However, the effects of an exclusively plant-based protein diet on resistance training-induced adaptations are under investigation.
To investigate the effects of dietary protein source [exclusively plant-based vs. mixed diet] on changes in muscle mass and strength in healthy young men undertaking resistance training.
Nineteen young men who were habitual vegans (VEG 26 ± 5 years; 72.7 ± 7.1kg, 22.9 ± 2.3kg/m
) and nineteen young men who were omnivores (OMN 26 ± 4 years; 73.3 ± 7.8kg, 23.6 ± 2.3kg/m
) undertook a 12-week, twice weekly, supervised resistance training program. Habitual protein intake was assessed at baseline and adjusted to 1.6gkg
day
via supplemental protein (soy for VEG or whey for OMN). Dietary intake was monitored every four weeks during the intervention. Leg lean mass, whole muscle, and muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), as well as leg-press 1RM were assessed before (vely registered.
