Abstract
Abstract
Background
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Canadian adolescents. Youth who make near fatal suicide attempts, such as those requiring intensive care unit (ICU) level care, are the closest proxy to those that die by suicide; however, there is limited data on this group.
Objectives
To evaluate the minimum incidence rate and patterns of presentation of youth (under 18 years of age) admitted to the ICU for medically serious self-inflicted injury.
Design/Methods
From January 2017 to December 2018, over 2,700 paediatricians/subspecialist members of the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program were electronically surveyed on a monthly basis regarding cases of medically serious self-harm. Participants completed a detailed questionnaire about the reported case and descriptive statistics were used for analyses.
Results
Ninety-four cases (71 female; mean age 15.2 years) of confirmed (n=87) and suspected/probable (n=7) medically serious self-harm were reported. The majority (87%) of cases were reported from 4 out of 13 provinces and territories in Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec). There were 11 deaths by suicide (M>F; p<.05). Medication ingestion was the most common method of self-harm among females (76% F vs. 52% M; p=.03) compared with hanging among males (14% F vs. 39% M; p=.009). More females than males had a prior suicide attempt (62% F vs. 32% M; p=.07) and a history of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) (65% F vs. 14% M; p<.05), although only history of NSSI reached significance. More females than males had a past psychiatric diagnosis (77% F vs. 55% M; p=.05), and past use of mental health services (69% F vs. 30% M; p<.001), although only service use reached significance. Half of the youth left evidence of intent (54%) and 33% of parents of included youth were aware that their child was considering suicide. Family conflict was the most common precipitating factor for suicide attempt in both females and males (46%).
Conclusion
These Canadian findings are consistent with international epidemiologic data that observe a gender paradox of higher rates of suicide attempts in females and greater mental health care engagement but increased suicide mortality in males with decreased involvement with mental health care. This study suggests that family conflict is a potential target for suicide prevention interventions among youth. Future research focusing on gender-specificity in risk factor identification and effectiveness of primary prevention interventions among youth is warranted.

Abstract
Patient blood management (PBM) is a patient-centred, multidisciplinary approach to optimise red cell mass, minimise blood loss, and manage tolerance to anaemia in an effort to improve patient outcomes. Well-implemented PBM improves patient outcomes and reduces demand for blood products. The multidisciplinary approach of PBM can often allow patients to avoid blood transfusions, which are associated with less favourable clinical outcomes. In Hong Kong, there has been increasing demand for blood in the ageing population, and there are simultaneous blood safety and donor issues that are adversely affecting the blood supply. To address these challenges, the Hong Kong Society of Clinical Blood Management recommends implementation of a PBM programme in Hong Kong, including strategies such as optimising red blood cell mass, improving anaemia management, minimising blood loss, and rationalising the use of blood and blood products.

Abstract
An α particle-emitting nanodrug that is a potent and specific antitumor agent and also prompts significant remodeling of local immunity in the tumor microenvironment (TME) has been developed and may impact the treatment of melanoma. Biocompatible ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles (C' dots, diameter ∼6.0 nm) have been engineered to target the melanocortin-1 receptor expressed on melanoma through α melanocyte-stimulating hormone peptides attached to the C' dot surface. Actinium-225 is also bound to the nanoparticle to deliver a densely ionizing dose of high-energy α particles to cancer. Nanodrug pharmacokinetic properties are optimal for targeted radionuclide therapy as they exhibit rapid blood clearance, tumor-specific accumulation, minimal off-target localization, and renal elimination. Potent and specific tumor control, arising from the α particles, was observed in a syngeneic animal model of melanoma. Surprisingly, the C' dot component of this drug initiates a favorable pseudopathogenic response in the TME generating distinct changes in the fractions of naive and activated CD8 T cells, Th1 and regulatory T cells, immature dendritic cells, monocytes, MΦ and M1 macrophages, and activated natural killer cells. Concomitant upregulation of the inflammatory cytokine genome and adaptive immune pathways each describes a macrophage-initiated pseudoresponse to a viral-shaped pathogen. This study suggests that therapeutic α-particle irradiation of melanoma using ultrasmall functionalized core-shell silica nanoparticles potently kills tumor cells, and at the same time initiates a distinct immune response in the TME.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Recent surveys estimate that electronic media use among young children is increasing and that behavioral sleep problems are prevalent. In this study, we employed assessments of sleep and media use and tested the hypothesis that poor sleeping children would be more likely to engage with media than good sleeping children.
Methods
Participants were 44 children from two different cohorts: (1) Healthy, good sleepers (n=26, 13 males, 4.3±0.4 years) who reportedly obtained ≥10.5 hours per night and had no behavioral sleep problems and (2) Poor sleepers (n=18, 9 males, 5.5±0.7 years) who reportedly obtained chronic insufficient sleep ≤9 hours per night and/or had behavioral sleep problems for ≥6 months. Sleep duration and sleep onset latency (SOL) were quantified through 7 nights of actigraphy and verified with sleep diaries. Media use, defined as any electronic device involving screen time that engages children, was assessed across 2 weekdays and 2 weekend days through a parental media diary. Independent t-tests compared the duration of media use and actigraphy variables between groups.
Results
Poor sleeping children on average had longer SOL (28.6±17.9 vs. 17.3±8.66 minutes, t=-2.5, p<0.05) and shorter sleep duration (589.6±37.5 vs. 627.4±27.4 minutes, t=3.7, p<0.01) compared to good sleeping children. Additionally, average daily media use (125.1±88.5 vs. 66.5±48.3 minutes, t=-2.6, p<0.05), evening media use (22.0±21.3 vs. 4.2±10.4 minutes, t=-3.3, p<0.01), and weekend media use (154.4±105.9 vs. 79.8±55.6 minutes, t=-2.7, p<0.05) duration was higher in poor than good sleepers.
Conclusion
Our findings indicate that media use duration and timing likely play an important role in early childhood sleep health. Young children who use more evening media are more likely to take longer to fall asleep and have shorter sleep duration overall. Time displacement (time spent using media instead of sleeping), psychological stimulation, and the effects of screen light on circadian timing are potential mechanisms underlying these associations.

Abstract
638 Background: Tivozanib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of vascular endothelial growth factor and has been shown to offer PFS and tolerance advantage compared to sorafenib among patients with mRCC. In this retrospective review, we aim to investigate the real world efficacy and tolerance of tivozanib delivered in four cancer hospital in the Northwest of England. Methods: mRCC patients started tivozanib in first line setting were identified and reviewed. Primary outcomes of interest include overall response rate (ORR), survival (OS, PFS where possible) and treatment tolerance. Results: A total of 113 patients were identified between March 2017 and May 2019. Median follow up was 200 days (15-792). 26% were switched from other prior TKI due to intolerance. 28%, 48% and 24% had Favourable (F), Intermediate (I) and Poor(P) IMDC risk category respectively. ORR was 29% (CR 0%, PR29%, SD38%, PD26%, NE 7%). Median PFS (after 53 events) was 9 months (F = NR, I = 7 months, P = 3 months p value < 0.0001) with estimated 6 and 12 months OS of 80% and 67 % respectively. At cut-off, 26/32 with F IMDC risk remaining on treatment c.f. 24/54 (I) and 6/27 (P). Median treatment received was 5 cycles and 65% still on full dose at end of observation. Dose reduction was necessary in 31% while treatment was stopped in 15% due to toxicity. 46% received subsequent therapy post- progression. The commonest adverse events were fatigue (32%, G3 0%), diarrhoea (15%, G3 1.7%), mucositis (15%, G3 < 1%), and anorexia (7%, G3 1.7%). Conclusions: Preliminary findings from this review suggests similar clinical efficacy of tivozanib compared to agents such as pazopanib or sunitinib in real-world setting particularly among patient with Favourable IMDC category however longer follow up is required to fully evaluate this. Treatment is well tolerated with low incidence of severe grade toxicities and may be a good monotherapy option in patient of Favourable IMDC category unsuitable for combination therapies.
