Method for Accurate Quantitation of Volatile Organic Compounds in Urine Using Point of Collection Internal Standard Addition. ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:12684-12690.

Abstract
A method to achieve accurate measurement of unmetabolized volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urine was developed and characterized. The method incorporates a novel preanalytical approach of adding isotopically labeled internal standard (ISTD) analogues directly to the collection container at the point of collection to compensate for analyte loss to the headspace and the collection container surfaces. Using this approach, 45 toxic VOCs ranging in water solubility and boiling point were evaluated and analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results show that urine VOCs could be equally lost to the container headspace as to the container surface suggesting similarity of these two regions as partition phases. Surface adsorption loss was found to trend with compound water solubility. In particular, with no headspace, more nonpolar VOCs experienced substantial losses (e.g., 48% for hexane) in a standard 120 mL urine cup at concentrations in the low- and sub-ppb range. The most polar VOCs evaluated (e.g., tetrahydrofuran) showed no significant loss. Other commonly practiced methods for urine sample collection and analysis such as aliquoting, specimen freezing, and use of surrogate ISTD were found to significantly bias results. With this method, we achieved errors ranging from -8.0 to 4.8% of spiked urine specimens. Paired urine and blood specimens from cigarette smokers were compared to assess this method.

Abstract
We present the first joint analysis of cluster abundances and auto or cross-correlations of three cosmic tracer fields: galaxy density, weak gravitational lensing shear, and cluster density split by optical richness. From a joint analysis (4×2pt+N) of cluster abundances, three cluster cross-correlations, and the auto correlations of the galaxy density measured from the first year data of the Dark Energy Survey, we obtain Ω_{m}=0.305_{-0.038}^{+0.055} and σ_{8}=0.783_{-0.054}^{+0.064}. This result is consistent with constraints from the DES-Y1 galaxy clustering and weak lensing two-point correlation functions for the flat νΛCDM model. Consequently, we combine cluster abundances and all two-point correlations from across all three cosmic tracer fields (6×2pt+N) and find improved constraints on cosmological parameters as well as on the cluster observable-mass scaling relation. This analysis is an important advance in both optical cluster cosmology and multiprobe analyses of upcoming wide imaging surveys.

Abstract
We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution and detectability of MW satellites and marginalizes over uncertainties in the mapping between galaxies and DM halos, the properties of the MW system, and the disruption of subhalos by the MW disk. Our results are consistent with the cold, collisionless DM paradigm and yield the strongest cosmological constraints to date on particle models of warm, interacting, and fuzzy dark matter. At 95% confidence, we report limits on (i) the mass of thermal relic warm DM, m_{WDM}>6.5 keV (free-streaming length, λ_{fs}≲10h^{-1} kpc), (ii) the velocity-independent DM-proton scattering cross section, σ_{0}<8.8×10^{-29} cm^{2} for a 100 MeV DM particle mass [DM-proton coupling, c_{p}≲(0.3 GeV)^{-2}], and (iii) the mass of fuzzy DM, m_{ϕ}>2.9×10^{-21} eV (de Broglie wavelength, λ_{dB}≲0.5 kpc). These constraints are complementary to other observational and laboratory constraints on DM properties.

Abstract
Background Blips are detectable increases in the HIV viral load (VL) that occur after therapy has effectively suppressed the virus to an undetectable level. There is no clear etiology for the development of blips. The association between blips and viral failure remains unclear. Methods This retrospective chart review aimed to clinically characterize patients who developed blips in a community HIV clinic in north Philadelphia between 2014-2018. A blip was defined as a single detectable VL < 500 copies/mL which appears between two undetectable VL measurements. Multivariate analysis was performed to examine the relationship of certain variables and viral rebound (VR) in patients with blips. Viral rebound was defined as post blip VL > 200 copies/mL that was not followed by an undetectable viral load. Results Of a total of 666 patients, 225 (33.7%) had at least 1 blip. 59% were male and 41% were female. The majority were African American (84.4%). Sixty seven percent were heterosexuals and 25.7% were MSM. Analyzing CD4 counts at the moment of blip, 68% had >500 cells/mm3. The average value of the blips was 85 copies/mL with 48.8% of the patients having a blip between 20-50 copies/mL. Most of the patients were on INSTIs (49.5%) followed by NNRTIs (35.6%). Of the 225 patients, 148 had at least 1 year of follow up post-blip. Those who were followed for less than 1-year post-blip were not included in the statistical analysis to find potential factors associated with VR. Thirty-two (21.6%) patients developed rebound. The multivariate analysis showed that being male and having a higher blip value were factors associated to increased likelihood of VR. Factors associated to decreased likelihood of rebound were the use of NNRTIs at blip and an HIV transmission factor that was not heterosexual sex (MSM and IDU). All of these associations were noted to be statistically significant. Conclusion The variables that were found to be associated to viral rebound could help guide clinicians during the surveillance of patient’s with blips. Further research in larger cohorts would help clarify the role of these variables in patients who develop treatment failure. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract
Declining life expectancy and increasing all-cause mortality in the United States have been associated with unhealthy behaviors, socioecological factors, and preventable disease. A growing body of basic science, clinical research, and population health evidence points to the benefits of healthy behaviors, environments and policies to maintain health and prevent, treat, and reverse the root causes of common chronic diseases. Similarly, innovations in research methodologies, standards of evidence, emergence of unique study cohorts, and breakthroughs in data analytics and modeling create new possibilities for producing biomedical knowledge and clinical translation. To understand these advances and inform future directions research, The Lifestyle Medicine Research Summit was convened at the University of Pittsburgh on December 4–5, 2019. The Summit's goal was to review current status and define research priorities in the six core areas of lifestyle medicine: plant-predominant nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, addictive behaviors, and positive psychology/social connection. Forty invited subject matter experts (1) reviewed existing knowledge and gaps relating lifestyle behaviors to common chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, many cancers, inflammatory- and immune-related disorders and other conditions; and (2) discussed the potential for applying cutting-edge molecular, cellular, epigenetic and emerging science knowledge and computational methodologies, research designs, and study cohorts to accelerate clinical applications across all six domains of lifestyle medicine. Notably, federal health agencies, such as the Department of Defense and Veterans Administration have begun to adopt “whole-person health and performance” models that address these lifestyle and environmental root causes of chronic disease and associated morbidity, mortality, and cost. Recommendations strongly support leveraging emerging research methodologies, systems biology, and computational modeling in order to accelerate effective clinical and population solutions to improve health and reduce societal costs. New and alternative hierarchies of evidence are also be needed in order to assess the quality of evidence and develop evidence-based guidelines on lifestyle medicine. Children and underserved populations were identified as prioritized groups to study. The COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately impacts people with chronic diseases that are amenable to effective lifestyle medicine interventions, makes the Summit's findings and recommendations for future research particularly timely and relevant.

Abstract
Structural racism has been and remains a fundamental cause of persistent health disparities in the United States. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and multiple others have been reminders that structural racism persists and restricts the opportunities for long, healthy lives of Black Americans and other historically disenfranchised groups. The American Heart Association has previously published statements addressing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk and disparities among racial and ethnic groups in the United States, but these statements have not adequately recognized structural racism as a fundamental cause of poor health and disparities in cardiovascular disease. This presidential advisory reviews the historical context, current state, and potential solutions to address structural racism in our country. Several principles emerge from our review: racism persists; racism is experienced; and the task of dismantling racism must belong to all of society. It cannot be accomplished by affected individuals alone. The path forward requires our commitment to transforming the conditions of historically marginalized communities, improving the quality of housing and neighborhood environments of these populations, advocating for policies that eliminate inequities in access to economic opportunities, quality education, and health care, and enhancing allyship among racial and ethnic groups. Future research on racism must be accelerated and should investigate the joint effects of multiple domains of racism (structural, interpersonal, cultural, anti-Black). The American Heart Association must look internally to correct its own shortcomings and advance antiracist policies and practices regarding science, public and professional education, and advocacy. With this advisory, the American Heart Association declares its unequivocal support of antiracist principles.

Abstract
Background Life's Simple 7 (LS7; nutrition, physical activity, cigarette use, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose) predicts cardiovascular health. The principal objective of our study was to define demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with LS7 to better inform programs addressing cardiovascular health and health equity. Methods National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999-2016 data were analyzed on non-Hispanic White [NHW], NH Black [NHB], and Hispanic adults aged ≥20 years without cardiovascular disease. Each LS7 variable was assigned 0, 1, or 2 points for poor, intermediate, and ideal levels, respectively. Composite LS7 scores were grouped as poor (0-4 points), intermediate (5-9), and ideal (10-14). Results 32,803 adults were included. Mean composite LS7 scores were below ideal across race/ethnicity groups. After adjusting for confounders, NHBs were less likely to have optimal LS7 scores than NHW (multivariable odds ratios (OR .44; 95% CI .37-.53), whereas Hispanics tended to have better scores (1.18; .96-1.44). Hispanics had more ideal LS7 scores than NHBs, although Hispanics had lower incomes and less education, which were independently associated with fewer ideal LS7 scores. Adults aged ≥45 years were less likely to have ideal LS7 scores (.11; .09-.12) than adults aged <45 years. Conclusions NHBs were the least likely to have optimal scores, despite higher incomes and more education than Hispanics, consistent with structural racism and Hispanic paradox. Programs to optimize lifestyle should begin in childhood to mitigate precipitous age-related declines in LS7 scores, especially in at-risk groups. Promoting higher education and reducing poverty are also important.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In primary care-based national health systems, cross-level clinical coordination is a priority, as it contributes to quality of care and efficiency. Studies show that clinical coordination may vary depending on doctoŕs specialty. The study's aim was to determine the differences in experience and perception of clinical coordination and their related factors according to the doctor's specialty in the Catalan health system
Methods
Cross-sectional study, based on an on-line survey applying the COORDENA-CAT questionnaire to 1666 secondary care doctors. Descriptive and multivariate analysis were used to compare five groups of specialties (potentially decentralised, hospital-based, internal-medicine/geriatrics, gynaecology, and paediatrics), for experience, perception and factors related to clinical coordination.
Results
Clinical coordination experience was relatively high in all groups, with differences when comparing with decentralised specialties; hospital-based specialties and internal medicine/geriatrics presented lower care consistency and follow up across levels, while gynaecology and paediatrics showed higher accessibility. General perception of coordination was low, being worse in hospital-based specialties (PR:0.80,95%CI0.72-0.89) and better in gynaecology (PR:1.36,95%CI1.18-1.56). Moreover, hospital-based specialties reported lower use of coordination mechanisms and less interaction with doctors from the other level (PR:0.42,95%CI0.23-0.72), than gynaecology (PR:2.04, 95%CI1.22-3.45).
Conclusions
Doctors' experience and perception of clinical coordination was lower among hospital-based specialties and internal medicine/geriatrics and higher in gynaecology and paediatrics. These differences may be explained by complexity, coordination needs, level of specialty decentralisation or related factors. Further research is needed to understand such differences and consider the coordination needs of each specialty to improve cross-level clinical coordination.
Key messages
Differences between specialities might be explain by the complexity, level of specialty decentralisation or factors related to clinical coordination. Clinical coordination needs of each specialty should be deeply explored to improve cross-level clinical coordination.

Abstract
A simple synthesis of an ionic liquid is carried out using a trialkylphosphine and an alkyl halide. The results showed that the quality of perovskite crystals is enhanced by the incorporation of B4PI, when the percentage is 1.5% the PCE of champion PSCs MA98.5(B4PI)1.5PbI3 increases significantly from 15.5%, with a V OC of 0.957 mV, J SC of 23.6 mA cm-2, and an FF of 68.4%. Stability tests show that excess B4PI by 20% has a protective effect against humidity, MA80(B4PI)20PbI3 was more stable towards humidity, losing only 20% efficiency for 200 h.

Abstract
Background Surgery remains to be the main therapeutic approach for retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) although evidence supports that complementary radiotherapy increases local-control and survival. We present a multidisciplinary management and experience of a tertiary cancer center in the treatment of RPS and analyze current evidence of radiotherapy efficacy. Patients and methods We retrospectively reviewed 19 patients with primary or relapsed RPS treated between November 2009 and October 2018. Multidisciplinary approach comprised complete resection in 15 patients (79%) achieving resection R0 in 11 patients (58%), R1 in 4 patients (21%) and R2 in 2 patients (10%). Seven patients (37%) underwent a preoperative radiation (PRORT), 10 patients (53%), post-operative radiation (PORT) and 2 patients (10%), received radiotherapy exclusively. Ten patients (53%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. Results With a median follow-up of 24 months (2-114 months), actuarial rates of loco-regional relapse free survival (LRFS) at 1, 2 and 3 years were 77%, 77% and 67%, respectively. Actuarial rates of distant-metastases-free survival (DMFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) at 1, 2 and 3 years were 100%, 100% and 80% for DMFS; 94%, 77% and 67% for DFS and 100%, 91% and 91% for OS, respectively. Only surgical margins (negative vs. positive) showed significance for 3y-LRFS: 100% vs. 34.3%, p = 0.018. Treatment tolerance was acceptable with no acute or late toxicity higher than grade 2. Conclusions Complementary radiotherapy appears to be useful and well tolerated for the multidisciplinary management of RPS. Presence of positive surgical margins seems to be the most relevant prognostic factor through the follow-up.

Abstract
Fragile X Syndrome results from a loss of Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP). We now show that FMRP is a member of a Cav3-Kv4 ion channel complex that is known to regulate A-type potassium current in cerebellar granule cells to produce mossy fiber LTP. Mossy fiber LTP is absent in Fmr1 knockout (KO) mice but is restored by FMRP(1-297)-tat peptide. This peptide further rapidly permeates the blood-brain barrier to enter cells across the cerebellar-cortical axis that restores the balance of protein translation for at least 24 h and transiently reduces elevated levels of activity of adult Fmr1 KO mice in the Open Field Test. These data reveal that FMRP(1-297)-tat can improve function from the levels of protein translation to synaptic efficacy and behaviour in a model of Fragile X syndrome, identifying a potential therapeutic strategy for this genetic disorder.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Slow waves and spindles are essential oscillations occurring during NREM sleep that may be disrupted by moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We investigated these oscillations in the acute and chronic trauma stage.
Methods
Four groups were tested with whole-night polysomnography: hospitalized patients with acute TBI (n=10, 29.7±13.8y) or severe orthopedic injuries (n=15, 39.9±17.1y), chronic TBI including 9 returning from the acute TBI group (n=43, 31.9±13.5y), and healthy controls (n=36, 30.5±12.7y). Characteristics for slow waves (density, amplitude, slope, frequency, duration) and spindles (density, amplitude, frequency, duration) were quantified over N2 and N3 sleep for the first three sleep cycles, and groups were compared using one-way ANOVAs.
Results
One-way ANOVAs showed group effects only for slow wave density (F=4.11 to 6.04, p=0.009 to 0.0008)) and spindle density (F=3.3 to 8.8, p=0.02 to 0.00003). These effects were present for the 2nd and 3rd sleep cycles, but not the 1st. More specifically, slow wave density in acute TBI was higher than in controls, and returned to normal levels in the chronic stage. Conversely, spindle density in acute TBI was lower than in controls and returned to normal levels in the chronic stage. No group difference was observed for the orthopedic group.
Conclusion
Our results suggest that immediately after a severely disruptive event such as a TBI, the brain needs additional deeper sleep to recover, resulting in more slow waves but also in less spindles. These changes are only present in the 2nd and 3rd sleep cycles, reflecting an absence of the expected dissipation of slow waves, which may suggest increased homeostatic sleep pressure due to the brain injury. Limits to interpretation include the hospital environment and medication, but the absence of changes in the orthopedic group under similar conditions emphasizes the effect of the brain injury itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the results of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2012 to December 2017 in 523 intensive care units (ICUs) in 45 countries from Latin America, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and Western Pacific. METHODS During the 6-year study period, prospective data from 532,483 ICU patients hospitalized in 242 hospitals, for an aggregate of 2,197,304 patient days, were collected through the INICC Surveillance Online System (ISOS). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-National Healthcare Safety Network (CDC-NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI) were applied. RESULTS Although device use in INICC ICUs was similar to that reported from CDC-NHSN ICUs, DA-HAI rates were higher in the INICC ICUs: in the medical-surgical ICUs, the pooled central line-associated bloodstream infection rate was higher (5.05 vs 0.8 per 1,000 central line-days); the ventilator-associated pneumonia rate was also higher (14.1 vs 0.9 per 1,000 ventilator-days,), as well as the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.1 vs 1.7 per 1,000 catheter-days). From blood cultures samples, frequencies of resistance, such as of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to piperacillin-tazobactam (33.0% vs 18.3%), were also higher. CONCLUSIONS Despite a significant trend toward the reduction in INICC ICUs, DA-HAI rates are still much higher compared with CDC-NHSN's ICUs representing the developed world. It is INICC's main goal to provide basic and cost-effective resources, through the INICC Surveillance Online System to tackle the burden of DA-HAIs effectively.

Abstract
IntroductionCannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), is characterized by recurrent episodes of severe nausea and intractable vomiting, preceded by chronic use of cannabis. A pathognomonic characteristic is compulsive bathing in hot water. The resolution of the problem occurs when cannabis use is stopped. However, patients are often reluctant to discontinue cannabis. Treatment with anti-emetic medication is ineffective. Case series suggested haloperidol as a potential treatment. Other antipsychotics as olanzapine has been used as anti-emetic treatment in chemotherapy.ObjectivesTo describe three cases of patients with CHS whom showed a successful response to olanzapine, even when, haloperidol had failed.AimsTo present an alternative treatment for CHS which can offer benefits over haloperidol.MethodsWe present three cases of patients who suffered from CHS and were admitted to emergency department. All patients were treated with olanzapine after conventional anti-hemetic treatment failure. One patient was also unsuccessfully treated with haloperidol.ResultsAll three patients showed a good response to olanzapine treatment. Different presentations were effective: velotab and intramuscular. Their nausea, vomits and agitation were ameliorated. They could be discharge after maintained remission of symptoms.ConclusionsOlanzapine should be considered as an adequate treatment for CHS. Its suitable receptorial profile, its availability in different routes of administration and its side effects profile could offer some benefits over haloperidol.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
In recent years, many γ-ray sources have been identified, yet the unresolved component hosts valuable information on the faintest emission. In order to extract it, a cross-correlation with gravitational tracers of matter in the Universe has been shown to be a promising tool. We report here the first identification of a cross-correlation signal between γ rays and the distribution of mass in the Universe probed by weak gravitational lensing. We use data from the Dark Energy Survey Y1 weak lensing data and the Fermi Large Area Telescope 9-yr γ-ray data, obtaining a signal-to-noise ratio of 5.3. The signal is mostly localized at small angular scales and high γ-ray energies, with a hint of correlation at extended separation. Blazar emission is likely the origin of the small-scale effect. We investigate implications of the large-scale component in terms of astrophysical sources and particle dark matter emission.

Abstract
Understanding and addressing the unique health needs of people residing in rural America is critical to the American Heart Association's pursuit of a world with longer, healthier lives. Improving the health of rural populations is consistent with the American Heart Association's commitment to health equity and its focus on social determinants of health to reduce and ideally to eliminate health disparities. This presidential advisory serves as a call to action for the American Heart Association and other stakeholders to make rural populations a priority in programming, research, and policy. This advisory first summarizes existing data on rural populations, communities, and health outcomes; explores 3 major groups of factors underlying urban-rural disparities in health outcomes, including individual factors, social determinants of health, and health delivery system factors; and then proposes a set of solutions spanning health system innovation, policy, and research aimed at improving rural health.
