Abstract
BACKGROUND Aggregation of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in regions-of-interest (ROIs) is required for complex statistical analyses not implemented in standard fMRI software. Different data-aggregation measures assess various aspects of neural activation, including spatial extent and intensity. NEW METHOD In this study, conducted within the framework of the PREDICT study, we compared different aggregation measures for voxel-wise fMRI activations to be used as prognostic factors for relapse in 49 abstinent alcohol-dependent individuals in an outpatient setting using a cue-reactivity task. We compared the importance of the data-aggregation measures as prognostic factors for treatment outcomes by calculating the proportion of explained variation. RESULTS AND COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD(S) Relapse risk was associated with cue-induced brain activation during abstinence in the ventral striatum (VS) and in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). While various ROI measures proved appropriate for using fMRI cue-reactivity to predict relapse, on the descriptive level the most "important" prognostic factor was a measure defined as the sum of t-values exceeding an individually defined threshold. Data collected in the VS was superior to that from other regions. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, it seems that fMRI cue-reactivity, especially in the VS, can be used as prognostic factor for relapse in abstinent alcohol-dependent patients. Our findings suggest that data-aggregation measures that take both spatial extent and intensity of cue-induced brain activation into account make better biomarkers for predicting relapse than measures that consider an activation's spatial extent or intensity alone.

Abstract
Neisseria gonorrhoeae has consistently developed resistance to antimicrobials used therapeutically for gonorrhoea and few antimicrobials remain for effective empiric first-line therapy. Since 2009 the European gonococcal antimicrobial surveillance programme (Euro-GASP) has been running as a sentinel surveillance system across Member States of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) to monitor antimicrobial susceptibility in N. gonorrhoeae. During 2011, N. gonorrhoeae isolates were collected from 21 participating countries, and 7.6% and 0.5% of the examined gonococcal isolates had in vitro resistance to cefixime and ceftriaxone, respectively. The rate of ciprofloxacin and azithromycin resistance was 48.7% and 5.3%, respectively. Two (0.1%) isolates displayed high-level resistance to azithromycin, i.e. a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≥256 mg/L. The current report further highlights the public health need to implement the European response plan, including further strengthening of Euro-GASP, to control and manage the threat of multidrug resistant N. gonorrhoeae.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GC) are the most commonly used immune-directed therapy in myasthenia gravis (MG). However, to date, GC have not proven their effectiveness in the setting of a randomized clinical trial that complies with currently accepted standards. The rationale for the use of GC in MG is the autoimmune nature of the disease, which is supported by consistent positive results from retrospective studies. Well-defined recommendations for treatment of MG with GC are lacking and further hampered by inter- and intra-individual differences in the disease course and responses to GC treatment. Uncertainties concerning GC treatment in MG encompass the indication for treatment initiation, exact dosage, dose adjustment in specific conditions (e.g., pregnancy, thymectomy), mode of tapering, and surveillance of adverse events (AE). This review illustrates the mode of action of GC in the treatment for MG, presents the currently available data on GC treatment in MG, and attempts to translate the currently available information into clinical recommendations.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a family of linear polysaccharides with diverse applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Its bioactive properties are determined by parameters such as the degree of acetylation (DA), but current techniques to measure the DA are laborious and require large amounts of substrate and sophisticated equipment. It is also challenging to monitor the fate of chitosan-based nanoparticles (CS-NPs) in vitro because current tools cannot measure their enzymatic or chemical degradation. We have developed a method based on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) that occurs between two independent fluorescent proteins fused to a CS-binding domain, who interact with CS polymers or CS-NPs. We used this approach to calibrate a simple and rapid analytical method that can determine the DA of CS substrates. We showed unequivocally that FRET occurs on the surface of CS-NPs and that the FRET signal is quenched by enzymatic degradation of the CS substrate. Finally, we provide in vitro proof-of-concept that these approaches can be used to label CS-NPs and colocalize them following their interactions with mammalian cells.

Abstract
Vasoregression characterizes diabetic retinopathy in animal models and in humans. We have recently demonstrated that vasoregression is earlier initiated in a rat model of ciliopathy-induced retinal neurodegeneration (TGR rat). The aim was to assess the balance between vasoregressive effects of chronic hyperglycemia and photoreceptor degeneration on adult vascular remodelling. The retinas were analyzed at 4 and 9 months after streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Neurodegeneration was determined by quantitation of cell numbers and retinal layer thickness. Vasoregression was assessed by quantitative retinal morphometry in retinal digest preparations. Retinal VEGF levels were measured by ELISA. Glial activation, expression and location of HSP27 and phosphorylated HSP27 were evaluated by immunofluorescence staining. Unexpectedly, the numbers of acellular capillaries were reduced at both time points and led to fewer intraretinal microvascular abnormalities in late stage diabetic TGR. Concomitantly, inner nuclear layers (INLs) in diabetic TGR rats were protected from cell loss at both time points. Consequently, glial activation was reduced, but VEGF level was increased in diabetic TGR retinas. Expressions of HSP27 were upregulated in glia cells in the preserved INL of diabetic TGR. Chronic hyperglycemia preserves the microvasculature in the retinal model of neurodegeneration. Cell preservation in the retinal INL was associated with protective gene regulation. Together, these data indicate that diabetes can induce vasoprotection, in which retinal glia can play a particular role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Factors associated with early vs. late diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To identify factors with a significant impact on melanoma thickness. METHODS Patients with previous melanoma (n = 347, median age at diagnosis: 56.5 years, 44.7% female, 55.3% male) were recruited for this monocentre, non-randomized, observational study between April 2012 and March 2013. All patients were assessed by means of a structured interview and systematic clinical and dermoscopic full-body examination. Melanoma thickness in association with patients' characteristics, risk indicators and patterns of diagnosis was submitted to statistical analyses. RESULTS Univariate analyses revealed associations between a statistically significant lower Breslow thickness and participation in specialized dermoscopic screening programs, personal history of more than one previous melanoma, diagnostic examination with a dermatoscope, diagnostic examination by board certified dermatologist, high number of common and/or atypical nevi, younger age at time of diagnosis, higher level of education, or superficial spreading or lentigo maligna melanoma subtype (all P ≤ 0.01). In a multivariate regression analysis only three of these criteria: (i) participation in specialized screening programs (P < 0.0001); (ii) melanoma subtype (P < 0.0001); and (iii) diagnostic examination with a dermatoscope (P = 0.040) and one interaction term ('younger age' x 'female sex', P < 0.0001) showed an independent influence on a significantly lower melanoma thickness. CONCLUSIONS The screening of patients in specialized surveillance programs resulted in melanoma detection at significantly earlier stages. The use of dermoscopy, SSM or LMM histotype and younger age in connection with female sex were also characteristics that were independently associated with significantly thinner melanomas in multivariate analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central nervous system (CNS) malignancies represent 20% of all childhood cancers. To improve outcomes in infants and children with high-risk disease, treatment can include adjuvant chemotherapy and early autologous peripheral blood human progenitor cell collection (AHPCC), followed by high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell rescue. In many protocols, postoperative chemotherapy includes the administration of weekly vincristine (VCR) between induction chemotherapy cycles, regardless of scheduled AHPCC. We observed anecdotal AHPCC failures in children receiving midcycle VCR (MC-VCR). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The study was an 8-year retrospective chart review of all children with a CNS malignancy and who underwent AHPCC. Information included patient demographic and clinical data, mobilization regimen, VCR administration, product yields, infusion toxicity, and patient charges. Data were analyzed relative to MC-VCR administration. Graphics and statistical analysis (t-test, chi-square, linear regression) were performed with commercial software. RESULTS Twenty-four patients and 47 AHPCCs were available for analysis. Nine patients (37%) received MC-VCR within 7 days of scheduled AHPCC. MC-VCR was associated with delayed marrow recovery (17.9 days vs. 14.9 days, p=0.0012), decreased median peripheral CD34 counts (75 × 10(6) CD34/L vs. 352 × 10(6) CD34/L, p=0.03), decreased median CD34 yields (2.4 × 10(6) CD34/L vs. 17.8 × 10(6) CD34/kg, p=0.08), more AHPCCs per mobilization (2.9 vs. 1.1, p=0.01), and an increased rate of remobilization (33% vs. 6%). Mean patient charges were 2.5× higher in patients receiving MC-VCR than controls (p=0.01). CONCLUSION MC-VCR should be withheld before scheduled AHPCC to optimize CD34 collection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The short stature homeodomain transcription factors SHOX and SHOX2 play key roles in limb formation. To gain more insight into genes regulated by Shox2 during limb development, we analyzed expression profiles of WT and Shox2-/- mouse embryonic limbs and identified the T-Box transcription factor Tbx4 as a potential downstream target. Tbx4 is known to exert essential functions in skeletal and muscular hindlimb development. In humans, haploinsufficiency of TBX4 causes small patella syndrome, a skeletal dysplasia characterized by anomalies of the knee, pelvis, and foot. RESULTS Here, we demonstrate an inhibitory regulatory effect of Shox2 on Tbx4 specifically in the forelimbs. We also show that Tbx4 activates Shox2 expression in fore- and hindlimbs, suggesting Shox2 as a feedback modulator of Tbx4. Using EMSA studies, we find that Tbx4/TBX4 is able to bind to distinct T-box binding sites within the mouse and human Shox2/SHOX2 promoter. CONCLUSIONS Our data identifies Tbx4 as a novel transcriptional activator of Shox2 during murine fore- and hindlimb development. Tbx4 is also regulated by Shox2 specifically in the forelimb bud possibly via a feedback mechanism. These data extend our understanding of the role and regulation of Tbx4 and Shox2 in limb development and limb associated diseases.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone of maintenance medication following invasive treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ST elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, unstable angina). Over the last decade, P2Y12 inhibition in addition to low-dose acetylsalicylic acid has been intensively debated. The debate was enriched by the results of the large phase III clinical trials for prasugrel (TRITON) and ticagrelor (PLATO) compared to clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes. This article summarizes the critical details und subanalyses of both study programmes and highlights on clinical decision making when using the three P2Y12 blockers in acute coronary syndromes. A special focus is on higher risk patients such as those with ST elevation myocardial infarction and those with coexisting diabetes, but also on minimizing relevant bleedings, which are common during more intense platelet inhibition.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to describe national surveillance of invasive beta-haemolytic streptococci (BHS) in Denmark and to report overall trends and major findings by groups and types of BHS causing laboratory-confirmed disease from 2005 to 2011. A total of 3063 BHS isolates were received from 2872 patients. Based on confirmed cases the overall annual incidence increased from 6.2 to 8.9 per 100 000 persons between 2005 and 2011. In 2011 the incidences of group A, B, C and G streptococci were 3.1, 2.3, 0.9 and 2.6 per 100 000 persons, respectively. An increase was observed for all groups of BHS, but in particular for group G in men above 65 years of age. Among group A streptococci (GAS), five T-types (1, 28,12, 3,13,B3264 and B3264) represented 71% and five emm-types (1, 28, 3, 89 and 12) 76% of all isolates. Among group B streptococci (GBS) four types (III, Ia, V, Ib) represented 79% of the isolates. Potential coverage for future vaccines against GAS and GBS disease was 76% compared with the 26-valent GAS vaccine and 89% based on GBS serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III and V. The number of reported cases of invasive BHS disease increased in Denmark from 2005 to 2011. Nationwide laboratory-based surveillance of BHS is required to monitor epidemiological changes, explore potential outbreaks and determine potential vaccine coverage.

Abstract
Compound optics such as lens systems can overcome the limitations concerning resolution, efficiency, or aberrations which fabrication constraints would impose on any single optical element. In this work we demonstrate unprecedented sub-5 nm point focusing of hard x-rays, based on the combination of a high gain Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) mirror system and a high resolution W/Si multilayer zone plate (MZP) for ultra-short focal length f. The pre-focusing allows limiting the MZP radius to below 2 μm, compatible with the required 5 nm structure width and essentially unlimited aspect ratios, provided by enabling fabrication technology based on pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and focused ion beam (FIB).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-response to an antidepressant monotherapy in unipolar depression is quite common. Therefore strategies for subsequent treatment steps are necessary. However, there is a lack of direct comparisons of these different strategies. In this naturalistic study we compared the outcome to different strategies after failure of the primary antidepressant treatment. METHODS Failure of primary antidepressant monotherapy occurred in 135 patients. 98 of these patients have been administered 4 treatment strategies of the physicians' choice: lithium augmentation (Li-Augm), switching to another antidepressant (AD-Switch), combination of 2 antidepressants (AD-Comb) or augmentation with second generation antipsychotic (SGA-Augm). Primary outcome measure was the 17-item Hamilton rating scale for depression (HRSD). RESULTS Patients who received Li-Augm or augmentation with SGAs showed significantly greater improvement in HRSD and BDI compared to patients with antidepressant switch or antidepressant combination. Remission rates for Li-Augm and SGA-Augm were 89.3% and 86.2% compared to 40.7% for AD-Switch and 42.9% for AD-Comb. DISCUSSION Changing to another pharmacological class (Li-Augm or augmentation with SGAs) showed better treatment results than sticking to the class of antidepressants (AD-Switch and AD-Comb) after primary failure in response to antidepressant monotherapy in unipolar depression. The lack of randomization and absence of a non-response definition are design flaws. Controlled studies are required to confirm the findings of this trial.

Abstract
Understanding the relative public health impact of major microbiological hazards across the food supply is critical for a risk-based national food safety system. This study was conducted to estimate the U.S. health burden of 14 major pathogens in 12 broad categories of food and to then rank the resulting 168 pathogen-food combinations. These pathogens examined were Campylobacter, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, norovirus, Salmonella enterica, Toxoplasma gondii, and all other FoodNet pathogens. The health burden associated with each pathogen was measured using new estimates of the cost of illness and loss of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) from acute and chronic illness and mortality. A new method for attributing illness to foods was developed that relies on both outbreak data and expert elicitation. This method assumes that empirical data are generally preferable to expert judgment; thus, outbreak data were used for attribution except where evidence suggests that these data are considered not representative of food attribution. Based on evaluation of outbreak data, expert elicitation, and published scientific literature, outbreak-based attribution estimates for Campylobacter, Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium, and Yersinia were determined not representative; therefore, expert-based attribution were included for these four pathogens. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the effect of attribution data assumptions on rankings. Disease burden was concentrated among a relatively small number of pathogen-food combinations. The top 10 pairs were responsible for losses of over $8 billion and 36,000 QALYs, or more than 50 % of the total across all pairs. Across all 14 pathogens, poultry, pork, produce, and complex foods were responsible for nearly 60 % of the total cost of illness and loss of QALYs.

Abstract
In this article we estimate the annual cost of illness and quality-adjusted life year (QALY) loss in the United States caused by 14 of the 31 major foodborne pathogens reported on by Scallan et al. (Emerg. Infect. Dis. 17:7-15, 2011), based on their incidence estimates of foodborne illness in the United States. These 14 pathogens account for 95 % of illnesses and hospitalizations and 98 % of deaths due to identifiable pathogens estimated by Scallan et al. We estimate that these 14 pathogens cause $14.0 billion (ranging from $4.4 billion to $33.0 billion) in cost of illness and a loss of 61,000 QALYs (ranging from 19,000 to 145,000 QALYs) per year. Roughly 90 % of this loss is caused by five pathogens: nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica ($3.3 billion; 17,000 QALYs), Campylobacter spp. ($1.7 billion; 13,300 QALYs), Listeria monocytogenes ($2.6 billion; 9,400 QALYs), Toxoplasma gondii ($3 billion; 11,000 QALYs), and norovirus ($2 billion; 5,000 QALYs). A companion article attributes losses estimated in this study to the consumption of specific categories of foods. To arrive at these estimates, for each pathogen we create disease outcome trees that characterize the symptoms, severities, durations, outcomes, and likelihoods of health states associated with that pathogen. We then estimate the cost of illness (medical costs, productivity loss, and valuation of premature mortality) for each pathogen. We also estimate QALY loss for each health state associated with a given pathogen, using the EuroQol 5D scale. Construction of disease outcome trees, outcome-specific cost of illness, and EuroQol 5D scoring are described in greater detail in a second companion article.

Abstract
We report on the electrochemical characteristics of GaN nanowire (NW) ensembles grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si111 substrates and on the influence of Si and Mg doping. The NW electrochemical properties in terms of surface capacitance (C(S)), surface resistance (R(S)) are extracted from electrochemical impedance spectra. While Mg doping of GaN NWs does not cause a significant variation of these quantities, an increase of the Si concentration leads to an increase of C(S) and a simultaneous decrease of R(S), indicating the presence of charge carriers in the NWs. According to the extracted values for R(S) and C(S) the NWs are classified into resistive and conductive. For conductive NWs charge transfer to a ferricyanide redox couple in the electrolyte is demonstrated and the ensemble average of the flatband voltage was determined. Variation of the lateral surface potential due to application of an external bias via the electrolyte is demonstrated.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy shares important features with neurodegenerative retinal diseases, including loss of ganglion cells and retinal thinning. The impact on vasoregression and subsequent ischemia-driven changes such as macular edema and proliferative retinopathy are not established. Studies using adult neurodegenerative animal models such as the transgenic TGR(CMV-PKD2(1/703)HA) rat imply early activation of the innate immunity system and the complement system as well as microglia playing a role in the damage of the retinal neurovascular unit.

Abstract
Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial susceptibility is monitored in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) by the European gonococcal antimicrobial surveillance programme (Euro-GASP). Results from 17 EU/EEA Member States in 2009 showed that 5% of isolates had decreased susceptibility to cefixime, an upward trend in the minimum inhibitory concentrations of ceftriaxone and a high prevalence of resistance to ciprofloxacin (63%)and azithromycin (13%). These results are of public health value and highlight the need for healthcare professionals to be aware of possible cefixime treatment failures. Euro-GASP is being implemented in additional EU/EEA Member States to achieve greater representativeness. In addition, Euro-GASP aims to set up a system which will allow biannual reporting of antimicrobial resistance in the EU/EEA, with a transition from centralised towards decentralised testing,and will link epidemiological data to laboratory data to enhance surveillance. The benefits of this approach include more timely detection of emerging trends in gonococcal resistance across the EU/EEA and the provision of a robust evidence base for informing national and European guidelines for therapy.

Abstract
Regulatory risk analysis is designed to provide decisionmakers with a clearer understanding of how policies are likely to affect risk. The systems that produce risk are biological, physical, and social and economic. As a result, risk analysis is an inherently interdisciplinary task. Yet in practice, risk analysis has been interdisciplinary in only limited ways. Risk analysis could provide more accurate assessments of risk if there were better integration of economics and other social sciences into risk assessment itself. This essay examines how discussions about risk analysis policy have influenced the roles of various disciplines in risk analysis. It explores ways in which integrated bio/physical-economic modeling could contribute to more accurate assessments of risk. It reviews examples of the kind of integrated economics-bio/physical modeling that could be used to enhance risk assessment. The essay ends with a discussion of institutional barriers to greater integration of economic modeling into risk assessment and provides suggestions on how these might be overcome.

Abstract
Introduction Pelvic lymphoceles (LC) following radical prostatectomy (LC-RP) have an incidence up to 27%. LC-managements constitute 50% of surgical interventions performed in post-RP patients. Objectives To describe a therapeutic algorithm for LC-managements based on a community based representative retrospective study. Patients and methods: Multicentre data from 304 patients with LC-RP were retrospectively examined for LC-managements. RPs were performed by various surgeons from 67 urological departments. All patients had undergone 3 weeks rehabilitation in a specialized hospital where the data base was generated. Indications and results of therapeutic manoeuvres were used to develop a general concept for planning therapy decisions. Results Median age was 64 years. Complications occurred in 9% (28/304) of patients. Median LC-volume was 36 ml (range 20-1800 ml). There were more complications for LCs with ≥100 ml volume than those < 100 ml (27% versus 17%, p = 0.346). Conservative therapy was the standard in uncomplicated cases (87%, 239 of 276 patients), while intervention was done in 13% (puncture and/or drainage, surgery). Surgical intervention was performed significantly more often in complicated cases (82%, 23 from 28 patients; p < 0.001). Based on these data, LCs can be stratified into 3 groups depending on the size and clinical presentation. Therapeutic decisions were used to develop the illustrated new therapy algorithm. Conclusions This study based treatment algorithm provides a rationale approach with an accurate LC-classification as regard the indications and decision making for the available LC-RP-therapies. This could facilitate management decisions. Evaluation of this concept prospectively in large patient cohort is mandatory.
