Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury causes vocal fold paralysis from which functional recovery is typically absent due to nonselective reinnervation. This study investigates expression of axon guidance cues and their modulators relative to the chronology of reinnervation by examining the expression of glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), netrin 1, and laminin 111 (LAMA1) in nonpooled laryngeal muscles. This study is the first to describe the post-RLN injury expression pattern of LAMA1, a target of particular interest as it has been shown to switch netrin 1-mediated growth cone attraction to repulsion. STUDY DESIGN Animal experiment (rat model). SETTING Basic science laboratory. METHODS The right RLNs of 64 female Sprague-Dawley rats were transected, with sacrifice at 1, 3, 7, 21, 28, and 56 days postinjury (DPI). Single-animal messenger RNA was isolated from the ipsilateral posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA), lateral thyroarytenoid (LTA), and medial thyroarytenoid (MTA) for quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. Immunostaining for LAMA1 expression was performed in the same muscles. RESULTS LAMA1 was elevated in the PCA at 3 to 56 DPI, LTA at 7 DPI, and MTA at 14 and 28 DPI. This correlates with the chronology of laryngeal reinnervation. Using a new protocol, single-animal muscle qRT-PCR possible and expression results for GDNF and netrin 1 were similar to previous pooled investigations. CONCLUSION Reliable qRT-PCR is possible with single rat laryngeal muscles. The expression of netrin 1 and LAMA1 is chronologically coordinated with muscle innervation in the LTA and MTA. This suggests that LAMA1 may influence netrin 1 to repel axons and delay LTA and MTA reinnervation.

Abstract
Background: In a previous pilot weight-loss study, an association was observed between baseline fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels and the effectiveness of the Gelesis100 treatment. The aim of this subanalysis of the Gelesis Loss Of Weight (GLOW; NCT02307279) study is to further assess the association between FPG and body weight (BW) responders in subjects with overweight or obesity treated with Gelesis100, a non-systemic hydrogel. Methods: This subanalysis was conducted in subjects who were overweight or had obesity and who completed the GLOW study. GLOW was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled pivotal study with subjects randomized to 2.25 g of Gelesis100 or placebo in capsules taken with 500 mL of water before lunch and dinner while on a hypocaloric diet (-300 kcal/day) for 24 weeks. BW responders at 5% and 10% (super-responders) were analyzed using Logit model comparing Gelesis100 to placebo arms in 2 subgroups of subjects defined by their initial FPG (two consecutive consistent values). Subgroup 1 had normoglycemia (FPG < 100 mg/dL) and subgroup 2 had prediabetes (PD) (FPG ≥ 100 mg/dL and < 126 mg/dL) or untreated type 2 diabetes (T2D) (FPG ≥ 126 mg/dL). Results: The population included 206 subjects (94 males, 112 females, 138 in subgroup 1, 68 in subgroup 2, 105 on Gelesis100, 101 on placebo). In subgroup 1 (mean baseline FPG = 91 mg/dL), BW responders at 5% and 10% in Gelesis100 arm were 60% (placebo arm = 34%, adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 3.1, P = 0.0022) and 22% (placebo arm = 15%, OR = 1.5, P = 0.4254), respectively. In subgroup 2 (mean baseline FPG = 113 mg/dL), BW responders at 5% and 10% in Gelesis100 arm were 72% (placebo arm = 56%, OR = 2.2, P = 0.1509) and 44% (placebo arm = 14%, OR = 6.1, P = 0.0071), respectively. In the overall population, baseline FPG was inversely correlated with BW percent change in the Gelesis100 arm (r = -0.24, P = 0.0144). The safety and tolerability of Gelesis100 demonstrated no increased risk compared to placebo. No serious adverse events were observed in any arm. Conclusion: Gelesis100 offers a compelling new approach in the management of overweight and obesity. Notably, in Gelesis100-treated subjects with PD or untreated T2D, the odds of being super-responders are 6 times higher compared to placebo. This finding may be used as a tool for identifying subjects who are both at higher clinical risk and more likely to achieve greater levels of BW loss when treated with Gelesis100. The mechanisms underlying this finding require further investigations. Unless otherwise noted, all abstracts presented at ENDO are embargoed until the date and time of presentation.

Abstract
Near-miss events represent an opportunity to identify and correct errors that jeopardise patient safety. The MRI environment poses potential safety threats and is frequently associated with near misses or adverse events related to improper safety screening for presence of cardiac pacemakers and other potential contraindications. At our institution, MRI safety screening lacked a formalised structure and standardisation; the process relied on a single-step safety screening process. As a result, we observed a significant number of near misses associated with improper MRI screening that resulted in ‘close calls’ in patients with incompatible metals implants. The purpose of this project was to use a quality improvement approach to analyse the near-miss pattern and create a multistep intervention to decrease the number of near misses associated with MRI screening and to ultimately decrease the potential for patient harm. Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act model, we decreased the number of MRI near misses from 22 to zero near misses in 1 year after implementation. The project demonstrates successful transformation of near misses to a never event: a reportable event that should never happen. The project also demonstrates the importance in targeting and prioritising a pattern of near misses, which are unplanned events that do not result in injury but had great potential to do so.

Abstract
Background: Overweight and obesity are predisposing conditions for the development of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance caused by excess adiposity is a key factor in this process. Methods: The effect of Gelesis100, a novel hydrogel, was assessed in patients who were overweight or had obesity, without antidiabetic medications, and who completed the Gelesis Loss Of Weight (GLOW; NCT02307279) study. GLOW was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled pivotal study with patients randomized to 2.25 g of Gelesis100 or placebo in capsules taken with 500 mL of water before lunch and dinner while on a hypocaloric diet (-300 kcal/day) for 24 weeks. Insulin resistance was measured by homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance and Logit models comparing Gelesis100 to placebo arms in 2 subgroups of patients based on baseline HOMA-IR (subgroup 1, HOMA-IR ≥ 3.0, subgroup 2, HOMA-IR < 3.0). Results: The overall population included 290 patients (132 males, 158 females, 91 in subgroup 1, 199 in subgroup 2, 155 on Gelesis100, 135 on placebo), who were normoglycemic, had prediabetes, or had untreated type 2 diabetes. Statistically significant difference in reduction of HOMA-IR was observed in subgroup 1 (mean baseline HOMA-IR = 5.0) but not in subgroup 2 (mean baseline HOMA-IR = 1.8). Indeed, placebo-subtracted HOMA-IR changes (mean, SE) were -22.3 ± 9.5% (P = 0.0212) and -9.0 ± 9.5% (P = 0.3432) in subgroup 1 and subgroup 2, respectively. Furthermore, in subgroup 1, patients who lost < 5% body weight (n = 44, mean body weight loss = 1.3%) had a statistically significant placebo-subtracted HOMA-IR change of -27.6 ± 13.2% (P = 0.0435), while patients who lost ≥ 5% body weight (n = 47, mean body weight loss = 9.7%) had no statistically significant placebo-subtracted HOMA-IR change (-15.6 ± 13.6%, P = 0.2584). The effect on HOMA-IR decrease was driven by significant reduction in fasting serum insulin. Safety and tolerability of Gelesis100 demonstrated no increased risk compared to placebo. Conclusion: Treatment with Gelesis100 results in a significantly higher reduction in insulin resistance compared to placebo as assessed by HOMA-IR in patients who are overweight or have obesity with elevated baseline HOMA-IR. The results also suggest a potential weight-independent effect of Gelesis100 in the reduction of insulin resistance. If these findings are confirmed in future studies with larger subgroups, Gelesis100 could become a potential new treatment for insulin-resistant clinical conditions associated with overweight and obesity.

Abstract
We report a rare co-occurrence of intestinal malrotation and Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) in a male neonate with a large 38.8 Mb interstitial deletion of chromosome 13 extending from q21.31 to q33.1 including the EDNRB gene, who presented with craniofacial dysmorphic features and central nervous system malformations. The loss of EDNRB gene in addition to bilateral hearing loss and HSCR suggested an additional diagnosis of Waardenburg-Shah's syndrome. This case highlights the fact that prior knowledge of this rare association in infants with 13q deletion syndrome would enable early diagnosis and prompt interventions to prevent gastrointestinal complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test whether the plasma levels of norepinephrine (NE) in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) predict their pressor response to droxidopa. METHODS This was an observational study, which included patients with nOH. All patients had standardized autonomic function testing including determination of venous plasma catecholamine levels drawn through an indwelling catheter while resting supine. This was followed by a droxidopa titration with 100 mg increments in successive days until relief of symptoms, side effects, or the maximum dose of 600 mg was reached. No response was defined as an increase of <10 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure (BP) after 3-minute standing 1 hour after droxidopa administration. Nonlinear regression models were used to determine the relationship between BP response and plasma NE levels. RESULTS We studied 20 patients with nOH due to Parkinson disease, pure autonomic failure, multiple system atrophy, or autoimmune autonomic neuropathies. Their supine plasma NE levels ranged from 44 to 850 pg/mL. Lower supine plasma NE levels were associated with greater pressor effect 1 hour after dose (R2 = 0.49) and higher standing BP (R2 = 0.45). Patients with no pressor response to droxidopa had higher NE levels (382 ± 100 vs 115 ± 20 pg/mL, p = 0.0014). A supine NE level of <219.5 pg/mL had 83% sensitivity and 93% specificity to predict a pressor response (area under the curve = 0.95, p = 0.0023). CONCLUSIONS In patients with nOH, lower supine resting plasma NE levels are associated with a greater pressor effect of droxidopa treatment. This finding should help identify patients with nOH most likely to respond to standard doses of droxidopa. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class I evidence that lower supine plasma NE levels accurately identify patients with nOH more likely to have a greater pressor effect from droxidopa.

Abstract
This study explores the effect of the electrode material on the sensitivity of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) used in Electrical Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) technology. This technique is a label-free method to evaluate cellular activity of adherent cells. IDEs of gold (Au), indium tin oxide (ITO) and ITO functionalized with iridium oxide (IrOx) were characterized with impedance spectroscopy and their interfacial impedances were evaluated in potassium chloride (KCl) solutions. In parallel, ECIS measurements were performed on these three electrode materials during the proliferation of the human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. The results indicate that the difference in sensitivity to MCF-7 of the three materials might be strongly correlated to their interfacial impedances. We found that ITO electrodes coated with IrOx show slightly higher sensitivity to MCF-7 breast cancer cells while still offering transparency compared to gold, which is considered the conventional material in ECIS devices.
