Effect of social instability stress in adolescence or adulthood on sensitivity to sucrose concentration in a social context in male and female Long-Evans rats. Dev Psychobiol 2022; 64:e22293.

Abstract
Although there is evidence of sex differences in responding to social stress, and that age when stressed matters, females are understudied and adult-stress comparisons are few. Here, we investigated stress effects on reward sensitivity by examining rats' choice of social versus sucrose reward in a continuous spatial allocation design. We predicted social instability stress (SS) in adolescence would result in greater social discounting (spend less time near a novel peer when provided access to sucrose) relative to nonstressed controls (CTLs) and relative to SS in adulthood. All increased sucrose intake as the concentration increased, with no evidence of social discounting. SS males tested soon after the stress had a decrease in intake, whereas those tested long after had an increase in both time near the peer and in intake. CTL and SS females did not differ in intake, although their dose-response curves differed when tested soon after the SS. We also tested whether SS changed the stimulus value of the rat as a social peer; when tested in triads, CTL rats spent similar time in interaction with SS versus CTL rats. In sum, effects of SS on reward sensitivity were greater for males irrespective of administered in adolescence versus adulthood.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-invasive predictive quantitative biomarkers are required to guide treatment individualization in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) in order to maximise therapeutic outcomes and minimise treatment toxicity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and blood biomarkers have the potential to predict chemoradiotherapy (CRT) response in LARC. AREAS COVERED This review examines the value of functional imaging (MRI and PET) and liquid biomarkers (circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor nucleic acid (ctNA)) in the prediction of CRT response in LARC. Selected imaging and liquid biomarker studies are presented and the current status of the most promising imaging (apparent diffusion co-efficient (ADC), Ktrans, SUVmax, metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and liquid biomarkers (circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor nucleic acid (ctNA)) is discussed. The potential applications of imaging and liquid biomarkers for treatment stratification and a pathway to clinical translation are presented. EXPERT OPINION Functional imaging and liquid biomarkers provide novel ways of predicting CRT response. The clinical and technical validation of the most promising imaging and liquid biopsy biomarkers in multi-centre studies with harmonised acquisition techniques is required. This will enable clinical trials to investigate treatment escalation or de-escalation pathways in rectal cancer.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to capture the impact of COVID-19 on exercise behavior in U.S. college students. Exercise behaviors and perceived academic stress were examined from pre-COVID-19 (January-March 2020) and early-COVID-19 (April-July 2020) to continued-COVID-19 times (August-October 2020). Participants: One hundred and thirty-two participants completed the online questionnaires retrospectively. Methods: Two-way analyses of variance were used to examine exercise behaviors and academic stress perception over time between genders. Results: Participants spent much time in sedentary behavior and an increase in academic stress was evident in learning during the early-COVID-19 period. The time spent in sedentary behavior was reduced, but the stress involving coursework remained during the continued-COVID period. The impact of the COVID pandemic was observed to be universal across sex groups. Conclusions: Universities should consider how to support physical and mental health during lockdown and extended closure due to a pandemic.

Abstract
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of adverse pregnancy outcomes due to invasive infection. This study investigated longitudinal variation in GBS rectovaginal colonization, serum and vaginal GBS capsular polysaccharide (CPS)-specific antibody levels. Non-pregnant women were recruited in the UK and were sampled every 2 weeks over a 12-week period. GBS isolates were taken from recto-vaginal swabs and serotyped by polymerase chain reaction. Serum and vaginal immunoglobulin G (IgG) and nasal immunoglobulin A (IgA) specific to CPS were measured by Luminex, and total IgG/A by ELISA. Seventy women were enrolled, of median age 26. Out of the 66 participants who completed at least three visits: 14/47 (29.8%) women that were GBS negative at screening became positive in follow-up visits and 16/19 (84.2%) women who were GBS positive at screening became negative. There was 50% probability of becoming negative 36 days after the first positive swab. The rate of detectable GBS carriage fluctuated over time, although serum, vaginal, and nasal CPS-specific antibody levels remained constant. Levels of CPS-specific antibodies were higher in the serum of individuals colonized with GBS than in non-colonized, but similar in the vaginal and nasal mucosa. We found correlations between antibody levels in serum and the vaginal and nasal mucosa. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of elution methods to retrieve vaginal and nasal antibodies, and the optimization of immunoassays to measure GBS-CPS-specific antibodies. The difference between the dynamics of colonization and antibody response is interesting and further investigation is required for vaccine development.

Abstract
Abstract
The elderly patients are currently the main occupants of acute hospital beds and this trend will likely increase as the world ages. The elderly patients with cognitive issues frequently have behavioural symptoms which may be challenging for the care staff to manage, especially the staff who have not been formally trained in Gerontology. The use of restraints for this group of vulnerable patients should be discouraged as restraints can cause harmful effects.
The use of iPads as a non pharmacological strategy for managing the behavioural symptoms among the elderly in-patients with cognitive issues was effective in reducing agitation, with an improvement in mood and sundown symptoms. The patients were actively and meaningfully engaged with their iPads during therapy.
The nursing staff too, benefited from iPads as a novel therapy for their elderly in-patients with cognitive issues in providing cognitive and social stimulations, which they had no time to provide for. While the patients showed improvement in their behavioural symptoms, the nurses’ stress levels reduced with improved self-reported job satisfaction.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a "perfect storm" with regards to risk for intimate partner violence (IPV). Abusive partners may engage in novel forms of coercive control, such as pressuring their partner to engage in activities associated with COVID-19 infection risk (e.g., attend a large gathering). However, no empirical research has focused on COVID-specific coercive control. The current study sought to evaluate the prevalence of COVID-specific coercive control in a large sample of U.S. college students, as well as its association with other forms of IPV and depression and anxiety. A total of 2,289 undergraduate students attending eight U.S. universities who were currently in a sexual/dating/romantic relationship completed an online survey in Fall 2020 about COVID-specific coercive control, other forms of IPV (psychological, physical, sexual, coercive control) and depression and anxiety symptoms. Overall, 15.5% (n = 355) of students reported experiencing COVID-specific coercive control. Individuals who experienced COVID-specific coercive control were more likely to have experienced all other forms of IPV than those who did not experience COVID-specific coercive control. Further, individuals who experienced COVID-specific coercive control had significantly greater anxiety than individuals who did not experience any form of IPV. Individuals who experienced both COVID-specific coercive control and other forms of IPV had the highest levels of depression and anxiety. COVID-specific coercive control may serve to increase depression and anxiety, particularly if it co-occurs with other forms of IPV. Future work should evaluate the prevalence and long-term impact of coercive control during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Since the advent of neuraxial analgesia for labor, approaches to maintaining intrapartum pain relief have seen significant advancement. Through pharmacologic innovations and improved drug delivery mechanisms, current neuraxial labor analgesia maintenance techniques have been shaped by efforts to maximize patient comfort during the birthing process, while minimizing undesirable side effects and promoting the unimpeded progress of labor. To these ends, a modern anesthesiologist may avail themselves of several techniques, including programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB), patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) and dilute concentration local anesthetic + opioid epidural solutions. We explore the historical development and the evidential underpinnings of these techniques, in addition to several contemporary neuraxial labor analgesia practices. We also summarize current understanding of the effects these interventions have on maternal/fetal health and the labor course, as well as several important aspects of analgesic safety and monitoring.

Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (COAPT)
Background
Prior studies suggest tricuspid regurgitation (TR) diminishes/resolves following mitral valve surgery and thus do not require treatment and may not influence outcomes.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the change in TR (ΔTR) and its association with outcomes after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) compared with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in the COAPT trial.
Methods
Patients from the COAPT trial with echo core lab TR assessment at baseline and 30-day follow-up (n = 504) were included and divided into 2 groups: those whose TR worsened (ΔTR-INC) and those with no change or improvement in TR (ΔTR-SAME/DEC). Two-year composite endpoints of death or heart failure hospitalization (HFH) and the individual components were analyzed, after excluding events occurring within the first 30 days.
Results
ΔTR-SAME/DEC occurred in 430 pts (228 TEER, 202 GDMT) while ΔTR-INC was noted in 74 pts (38 TEER, 36 GDMT) (Figure 1A). From 30 days to 2 years, ΔTR-INC pts had a higher rate of the composite outcome of death or HFH compared with ΔTR-SAME/DEC (p = 0.006, Figure 1B). Both 2-year death (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.01-2.27; p = 0.04) and HFH (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.04-2.22; p = 0.03) were associated with ΔTR-INC. Assessed by treatment group (Figure 1C and 1D), the relationship between ΔTR-INC and composite death or HFH was significant in GDMT alone pts (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.21-2.86) but not in TEER pts (HR 1.33, 95% CI 0.79-2.23), although interaction testing demonstrated consistency between the two treatments (Pint = 0.31).
Conclusions
Worsening TR at 30 days occurred in ∼15% of pts in the COAPT trial whether they were treated with TEER or GDMT alone. DTRINC was associated with increased death and HFH during 2-year follow-up. Abstract Figure 1
