Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become a promising enabler for the next generation of wireless networks with the tremendous growth in electronics and communications. The application of UAV communications comprises messages relying on coverage extension for transmission networks after disasters, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and dispatching distress messages from the device positioned within the coverage hole to the emergency centre. But there are some problems in enhancing UAV clustering and scene classification using deep learning approaches for enhancing performance. This article presents a new White Shark Optimizer with Optimal Deep Learning based Effective Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Communication and Scene Classification (WSOODL-UAVCSC) technique. UAV clustering and scene categorization present many deep learning challenges in disaster management: scene understanding complexity, data variability and abundance, visual data feature extraction, nonlinear and high-dimensional data, adaptability and generalization, real-time decision making, UAV clustering optimization, sparse and incomplete data. the need to handle complex, high-dimensional data, adapt to changing environments, and make quick, correct decisions in critical situations drives deep learning in UAV clustering and scene categorization. The purpose of the WSOODL-UAVCSC technique is to cluster the UAVs for effective communication and scene classification. The WSO algorithm is utilized for the optimization of the UAV clustering process and enables to accomplish effective communication and interaction in the network. With dynamic adjustment of the clustering, the WSO algorithm improves the performance and robustness of the UAV system. For the scene classification process, the WSOODL-UAVCSC technique involves capsule network (CapsNet) feature extraction, marine predators algorithm (MPA) based hyperparameter tuning, and echo state network (ESN) classification. A wide-ranging simulation analysis was conducted to validate the enriched performance of the WSOODL-UAVCSC approach. Extensive result analysis pointed out the enhanced performance of the WSOODL-UAVCSC method over other existing techniques. The WSOODL-UAVCSC method achieved an accuracy of 99.12%, precision of 97.45%, recall of 98.90%, and F1-score of 98.10% when compared to other existing techniques.

Abstract
Normal lung cells incur genetic damage over time, which causes unchecked cell growth and ultimately leads to lung cancer. Nearly 85% of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking, but there exists factual evidence that beta-carotene supplements and arsenic in water may raise the risk of developing the illness. Asbestos, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, arsenic, radon gas, nickel, chromium and hereditary factors represent various lung cancer-causing agents. Therefore, deep learning approaches are employed to quicken the crucial procedure of diagnosing lung cancer. The effectiveness of these methods has increased when used to examine cancer histopathology slides. Initially, the data is gathered from the standard benchmark dataset. Further, the pre-processing of the collected images is accomplished using the Gabor filter method. The segmentation of these pre-processed images is done through the modified expectation maximization (MEM) algorithm method. Next, using the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) scheme, the features are extracted from these segmented images. Finally, the classification of lung cancer is performed by the improved graph neural network (IGNN), where the parameter optimization of graph neural network (GNN) is done by the green anaconda optimization (GAO) algorithm in order to derive the accuracy maximization as the major objective function. This IGNN classifies lung cancer into normal, adeno carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma as the final output. On comparison with existing methods with respect to distinct performance measures, the simulation findings reveal the betterment of the introduced method.

Abstract
Achievement goals play an important role in activating and sustaining students' ongoing motivation, emotional well-being, and achievement attainment over time. However, little is known empirically about the sustained effects of achievement goal profiles on students' subsequent school achievement, especially for early adolescents during the educational transition. Based on 1764 German students (Mage = 10.47, SD = 0.56; 50.6% female) who participated in a 3-year longitudinal study from Grade 4 to Grade 6, the present research aimed to examine the role of students' achievement goal profiles in the final year of elementary school in predicting their school achievement one year and two years after the transition to secondary school. Results of regression models showed that endorsing a mastery-oriented profile (vs. a high multiple profile or a low mastery profile) at the end of elementary school predicted higher German grades one year and two years after the transition to secondary school even after controlling for their prior achievement and basic cognitive abilities. Moreover, the sustained beneficial effects of a mastery-oriented profile (vs. a low mastery profile) on students' achievement gains can be explained by their higher joy of learning. These results indicate that a mastery-oriented profile in elementary school can be considered an important personal factor that facilitates students' smooth sailing after the transition to secondary school.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olfactory function of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been found to be defective, and patients are often unaware of it. This predisposes them to malnutrition with consequence on health recovery and quality of life. AIM To assess the olfactory function and determine the pattern of olfactory dysfunction in patients with CKD attending the University College Hospital, Ibadan. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective, hospital-based case-control study of adult patients with CKD. The control group were age- and sex-matched individuals without CKD. Olfactory threshold (OT), odor discrimination (OD), and odor identification (OI) tests were carried out in participants using the "Sniffin Sticks." RESULTS There were 100 patients with CKD and 100 healthy controls, age ranges between 19 to 86 years (mean ± SD = 46.3 ± 13.9 years) and 20 to 85 years (mean ± SD = 43.4 ± 14.9 years), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between cases and control gender distribution (P = .57). The mean olfactory scores were significantly lower among the cases than control, OI 11.2 ± 2.3 and 13.1 ± 1.2 (P < .001), OD 8.5 ± 2.4 and 10.9 ± 1.5 (P < .001), OT 6.4 ± 2.5 and 9.6 ± 1.9 (P < .001), and threshold discrimination and identification 26.0 ± 5.7 and 33.6 ± 3.3 (P < .001), respectively. Prevalent olfactory dysfunction among patients with CKD was 77% (hyposmia 72%, anosmia 5%), and the control was 16% (all hyposmia; P < .001). CONCLUSION There was high prevalence of olfactory dysfunction among patients with CKD, and the affectation is more at the central olfactory pathway.

Abstract
Late relapse (LR) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for acute leukemia is a rare event (nearly 4.5%) and raises the questions of prognosis and outcome after salvage therapy. We performed a retrospective multicentric study between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2016, using data from the French national retrospective register ProMISe provided by the SFGM-TC (French Society for Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy). We included patients presenting with LR, defined as a relapse occurring at least 2 years after AHSCT. We used the Cox model to identify prognosis factors associated with LR. During the study period, a total of 7582 AHSCTs were performed in 29 centers, and 33.8% of patients relapsed. Among them, 319 (12.4%) were considered to have LR, representing an incidence of 4.2% for the entire cohort. The full dataset was available for 290 patients, including 250 (86.2%) with acute myeloid leukemia and 40 (13.8%) with acute lymphoid leukemia. The median interval from AHSCT to LR was 38.2 months (interquartile range [IQR], 29.2 to 49.7 months), and 27.2% of the patients had extramedullary involvement at LR (17.2% exclusively and 10% associated with medullary involvement). One-third of the patients had persistent full donor chimerism at LR. Median overall survival (OS) after LR was 19.9 months (IQR, 5.6 to 46.4 months). The most common salvage therapy was induction regimen (55.5%), with complete remission (CR) obtained in 50.7% of cases. Ninety-four patients (38.5%) underwent a second AHSCT, with a median OS of 20.4 months (IQR, 7.1 to 49.1 months). Nonrelapse mortality after second AHSCT was 18.2%. The Cox model identified the following factors as associated with delay of LR: disease status not in first CR at first HSCT (odds ratio [OR], 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.64; P = .02) and the use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (OR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.21 to 4.14; P = .01). Chronic GVHD appeared to be a protective factor (OR, .64; 95% CI, .42 to .96; P = .04). The prognosis of LR is better than in early relapse, with a median OS after LR of 19.9 months. Salvage therapy associated with a second AHSCT improves outcome and is feasible, without creating excess toxicity.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia in the bony walls of a paranasal sinus is a developmental tumour that is associated with a marked facial deformity. Delay in hospital presentation contributes to the destructive resection techniques employed and the management outcome. Our study looks at the factors for delay in hospital presentation and the management outcome by a retrospective review between January 1997 and December 2018. Of 43 children (M: F 1:1.2) with a mean age of 12 ± 1.75 years, the maxillary bones were mostly affected. All underwent surgical resection with good management outcomes except for maxillectomy. Tumour recurrence was noted in five and there was no mitotic cell at histology. The clinical symptoms of fibrous dysplasia vary in severity and age of onset, often with late hospital presentation already with complications. Health education is needed to reverse this trend.

Abstract
Taste dysfunction has been associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) especially end stage kidney disease (ESKD) and also implicated as one of the predisposing factors for the prevalent malnutrition, muscle wasting and impaired quality of life among patients with CKD. To assess the taste function and determine the pattern of taste dysfunction in patients with CKD attending the University College Hospital, Ibadan. This was a cross sectional, hospital-based case-control study of adult patients with CKD. The control group were age and sex matched without CKD. Interviewer-assisted questionnaires were administered on all participants to obtain clinical information concerning demographics, clinical data on kidney disease and taste dysfunction. The four basic taste modalities namely; sweet, sour, bitter and salt taste senses of the participants were tested with validated "taste strips". There were 100 patients with CKD and 100 healthy controls, age ranges between 19 and 86 years (mean ± SD = 46.3 ± 13.9 years) and 20 and 85 years (mean ± SD = 43.4 ± 14.9 years), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between cases and control gender distribution (p = 0.57). Hypogeusia was found in 27.0% of CKD patients with specific taste modalities dysfunction for salt, sour, sweet and bitter taste of 13.0, 24.0, 13.0 and 17.0%, respectively. The controls only had specific taste modalities dysfunction for salt, sour and bitter taste of 1.0% for each of the taste modalities. The mean total taste scores in the cases and controls were - 9.8 ± 3.2 and 13.4 ± 1.5 (p = 0.001), respectively. The mean taste scores were significantly lower among the cases than controls, salt taste-2.82 ± 1.1 and 3.7 ± 0.7 (p = 0.001), sour taste - 2.2 ± 1.0 and 3.2 ± 0.7 (p = 0.001), sweet taste-, 2.9 ± 1.8 and 3.8 ± 0.5 (p = 0.001), bitter taste - 1.9 ± 1.2 and 2.8 ± 0.9 (p = 0.001). Taste dysfunction is prevalent among patients with CKD and the affectation involves all taste modalities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute myocarditis (AM) is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium that is associated with heterogenous clinical presentations, which may be non-specific. Furthermore, several cardiac diseases can mimic its clinical phenotype. Research in AM frequently utilises ICD-10 codes from hospital admissions for case identification. We retrospectively confirmed or refuted a diagnosis of AM according to ESC Position Statement criteria in patients with an ICD-10 code for AM.
Methods
We performed a single-centre retrospective analysis of all unique admissions with ICD-10 codes corresponding to myocarditis or myopericarditis in the first three coding positions at King's College Hospital, London, United Kingdom. The diagnosis was classified as “confirmed” if proven by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) or endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) or “suspected” in the absence of CMR or EMB if other ESC Position Statement criteria were met. To identify additional cases, we used an open-source retrieval system for unstructured clinical data (CogStack). We searched hospital and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge summaries for inpatients discharged alive containing the keywords “myocarditis” or “myopericarditis”. We also searched for patients who died during the study period where the keywords “myocarditis” or “myopericarditis” were included on the death notification.
Results
We identified 308 unique admissions with an ICD-10 code for myocarditis or myopericarditis in this study, presenting between 2008 and 2020 (Figure 1). Overall, 26.0% of patients (n=80/308) could be excluded from a diagnosis of AM on review of the clinical summary. A total of 16.2% of patients (n=50/308) had insufficient evidence of AM, 1.9% (n=6/308) had not had coronary artery disease excluded as a culprit for the presentation, and 10.1% (n=31/308) had an alternative diagnosis. Only 45.8% (n=141/308) of all patients met criteria for suspected or confirmed AM. Of those, 86.5% (n=122/141) of cases were confirmed by CMR. Overall, 39.6% of patients with an ICD-10 code indicating AM had a confirmed diagnosis. An additional 46 suspected and 197 confirmed cases were identified using open-source retrieval from unstructured clinical data.
Conclusion
AM has heterogenous and sometimes non-specific clinical presentations, which may be compounded by limited access to CMR and EMB. We identified significant misclassification using ICD-10 codes. It is crucial to ensure that studies investigating AM include only patients meeting appropriate diagnostic criteria, thereby ensuring a high-quality evidence base in this disease.

Abstract
Theories of job assignment suggest that employers give a lot of weight to achieved educational credentials. But what if credentials are missing? We theorize how college non-completion affects the hiring chances, identify its causal effect in different labor market segments, and assess which factors facilitate labor market entry for dropouts. Based on a simulated hiring process with N = 1382 German employers who rated more than 10,000 fictitious CVs, we show that college non-completion is not a scar per se, but rather depends on the educational attainment of the competitors who constitute the labor queue, and on the degree of occupational closure which varies on a granular level between firms that hire for the same occupations. We also find that employers, when rating dropouts, attach most value to CV attributes that signal a high stock of job-relevant skills, such as good performance during college or an occupation-specific internship. We conclude by discussing implications of our work for research on the labor market integration of dropouts.

Abstract
BackgroundDifferent autoantibodies (Ab) have been associated with distinct systemic sclerosis (SSc) phenotypes. Most of these associations have not been confirmed in Portuguese patients.ObjectivesTo evaluate SSc immuno-clinical associations in the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register (Reuma.pt) cohort.MethodsMulticentre open cohort study including adult SSc patients registered in Reuma.pt up to February 2021. The associations between Ab expression and clinical data were established using Chi-Square, Fischer’s Exact or Mann-Whitney U tests. The Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons was applied to get α≤0.05. Definite associations were defined by p≤0.002, and likely associations by p≤0.05.Results1080 patients were included, with a mean age and disease duration of 60.2±14.6 and 12.4±10.0 years, respectively. Most were females (87.5%) and had white European ancestry (WEA, 93.2%). The most common disease subtypes were limited cutaneous (lcSSc, 57.4%), diffuse cutaneous (dcSSc, 17.7%), and very early diagnosis of SSc (VEDOSS, 12.3%). Most patients expressed antinuclear Ab (ANA, 93.4%), and the most frequent were anti-centromere (ACA, 54.6%), anti-topoisomerase I (Scl70, 21.8%), and anti-Pm/Scl Ab (PmScl, 4.7%).ACA had definite positive associations with female sex, older age at diagnosis, lcSSc, lower modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS, median 0 vs 4), and isolated sclerodactyly, and likely associations with a higher diagnosis delay, WEA and VEDOSS. ACA had definite inverse associations with flexion contractures (FC), myositis, digital ulcers (DU), and interstitial lung disease (ILD), and likely inverse associations with pitting scars (PS) and oesophageal involvement (OI).Scl70 had definite positive associations with male sex, dcSSc, higher mRSS, FC, DU, PS, ILD, and OI, and likely associations with younger age at diagnosis, tendon friction rubs, active scleroderma pattern in capillaroscopy, and heart involvement.PmScl had a definite association with myositis and likely associations with male sex, calcinosis, joints involvement, and ILD. Anti-U1RNP Ab had definite associations with younger age at diagnosis, MCTD and myositis, and likely associations with a lower diagnosis delay, African ancestry and joint involvement. Anti-RNA polymerase III Ab (RP3) had likely associations with higher mRSS and renal involvement. Anti-U3RNP Ab had a definite association with dcSSc and likely associations with calcinosis and renal involvement. Anti-Th/To Ab had likely associations with male sex and myositis. Anti-Ku Ab had likely associations with systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) overlap syndromes.ConclusionThere was a higher prevalence of ACA and PmScl compared to other cohorts, most likely due to the high proportion of WEA patients. Most immuno-clinical associations described in the literature apply, including ACA with lcSSc and Scl70 with dcSSc, DU, PS and ILD. However, Scl70+ patients did not have an increased risk of renal involvement, and ACA+ patients did not have an increased risk for calcinosis, PAH or OI, contrary to what was described in the literature. New findings included the association of PmScl with ILD and Scl70 with an active pattern in capillaroscopy. Also, anti-U3RNP+ and Th/To+ patients did not have an increased risk of ILD or PAH, contrarily to what was previously reported. These nuances may be specific to the Portuguese SSc population or signal previously reported associations as geographically specific.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Research consistently shows that students from academic households are more likely to enter higher education than students from non-academic households. These inequalities are only secondarily due to differences in performance (i.e., primary effects), but mostly due to students' decision making behavior (i.e., secondary effects). The relative share to which primary effects and secondary effects mediate the effect of students' educational background on their intention to enter higher education is affected by external conditions. One significant external influence that may have had an impact on social disparities in students' educational choices is the COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, we present data from N = 596 upper secondary students (41.6% from non-academic households) that were collected in Germany in April 2021. Building on rational choice theory, we scrutinized students' expected benefits (i.e., employment prospects and personal significance), costs (i.e., direct costs and opportunity costs), and subjective probability of success in pursuing higher education as important psychological pillars for their intention to enter higher education. Results show that about 14% of social differences in students' intention to enter higher education were due to primary effects, whereas almost 77% were explained by secondary effects. Specifically, we found that differences in the evaluation of benefits most strongly contributed to social inequalities in students' intention to enroll in higher education. Compared to research on pre- COVID-19 cohorts, our results point to shifts in existing patterns of inequalities in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New therapeutic approaches in oncology have converted cancer from a certain death sentence to a chronic disease. However, there are still challenges to be overcome regarding the off-target toxicity of many of these treatments. Oncological therapies can lead to future infertility in women. Given this negative impact on long-term quality of life, fertility preservation is highly recommended. While gamete and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are the usual methods offered, new pharmacological-based options aiming to reduce ovarian damage during oncological treatment are very attractive. In this vein, advances in the field of transcriptomics and epigenomics have brought small noncoding RNAs, called microRNAs (miRNAs), into the spotlight in oncology. MicroRNAs also play a key role in follicle development as regulators of follicular growth, atresia and steroidogenesis. They are also involved in DNA damage repair responses and they can themselves be modulated during chemotherapy. For these reasons, miRNAs may be an interesting target to develop new protective therapies during oncological treatment. This review summarizes the physiological role of miRNAs in reproduction. Considering recently developed strategies based on miRNA therapy in oncology, we highlight their potential interest as a target in fertility preservation and propose future strategies to make the transition from bench to clinic. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE How can miRNA therapeutic approaches be used to develop new adjuvant protective therapies to reduce the ovarian damage caused by cytotoxic oncological treatments? SEARCH METHODS A systematic search of English language literature using PubMed and Google Scholar databases was performed through to 2019 describing the role of miRNAs in the ovary and their use for diagnosis and targeted therapy in oncology. Personal data illustrate miRNA therapeutic strategies to target the gonads and reduce chemotherapy-induced follicular damage. OUTCOMES This review outlines the importance of miRNAs as gene regulators and emphasizes the fact that insights in oncology can inspire new adjuvant strategies in the field of onco-fertility. Recent improvements in nanotechnology offer the opportunity for drug development using next-generation miRNA-nanocarriers. WIDER IMPLICATIONS Although there are still some barriers regarding the immunogenicity and toxicity of these treatments and there is still room for improvement concerning the specific delivery of miRNAs into the ovaries, we believe that, in the future, miRNAs can be developed as powerful and non-invasive tools for fertility preservation.

Abstract
Parathyroid adenoma is the most common cause of primary hyperthyroidism which leads to abnormal calcium homeostasis, hypercalcemia, and reduction in bone density. A 37-year-old female referred from a private health facility with a 1-year history of upper back swelling and pain. The pain was worse when sitting down for long periods and with movement and relieved by rest. There was no antecedent history of trauma, but the patient had noticed poor appetite and weight loss. There were no constipation, no abdominal discomfort, and no symptom suggestive of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. General physical examination revealed kyphoscoliosis, and vital signs were within normal limits. Spine X-ray showed features of cervical spondylosis. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging showed pathologic fractures of the right 9 thrib, anterior wedge compression, and reduction of T4 vertebrae with other abnormalities at T4-T5, T5-T6, T7-T8, T10-T11, and L4-L5 vertebrae. Bone marrow aspiration and serum electrophoresis were within normal limits. Serum calcium showed hypercalcemia. A CT scan of the neck was done which showed features of a right superior parathyroid adenoma. Blood count, other serum electrolytes, and thyroid function tests were all normal. A parathyroidectomy with right thyroid lobectomy was done. Histopathological examination of the resected parathyroid gland showed a diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma. A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose this unusual presentation of parathyroid adenoma. Radiological imaging is an important tool for early diagnosis.

Abstract
Background:It has been common practice to start a second TNF inhibitor (TNFi) in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) who discontinue their first TNFi. It remains unclear if the reason for discontinuation of the first TNFi influences the response to the second.Objectives:To assess if the reason of discontinuation of the first TNFi influences the response to the second TNFi.Methods:Patients with axSpA from the ReumaPt registry, who discontinued their first TNFi and started a second TNFi and who had complete data on Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) at baseline, 3 and 6 months for their first TNFi were included. Then, they were followed every 6 months up to 12 years. The main outcome was the ASDAS clinically important improvement (ASDAS CII). Secondary outcomes were ASDAS major important improvement (ASDAS MI); ASDAS low disease activity (ASDAS LDA); ASDAS inactive disease (ASDAS ID) and BASDAI 50. The reason for discontinuation of the first TNFi was defined as: i) Primary failure, ASDAS CII was not achieved at 3 or 6 months; ii) Secondary failure, ASDAS CII achieved at 3 or 6 months but lost in ≥1 follow-up visit; iii) Adverse events; iv) Other (e.g. pregnancy, surgery). The response to the first TNFi at 3 and 6 months was compared to the response to the second TNFi at the same visits, adjusting for age, gender and C-reactive protein (CRP). The association between the reason of discontinuation of the first TNFi and response the second TNFi over time was tested in generalized estimating equations (GEE) models, adjusted for age, gender and CRP.Results:In total, 193 patients (53% male, mean age 45 (SD:11) years) were included, with a median follow-up time on the second TNFi of 1.5 years. Patients had a lower response to the second TNFi compared to the first TNFi according to the main outcome (ASDAS CII) at 3 months (41% vs 51%) and 6 months (35% vs 56%). There was an association between the reason to discontinue the first TNFi and response to the second TNFi as defined by the most stringent outcomes (ASDAS MI and ASDAS ID), but not for ASDAS CII (Table). Compared to patients who discontinued their first TNFi due to primary failure, patients were more likely to achieve ASDAS ID with the second TNFi when they discontinued their first TNFi due to secondary failure (OR: 7.3 [(95%CI: 1.9; 27.7]), adverse events (OR: 9.1 [2.5; 33.3]), or other reasons (OR: 7.7 [1.6; 37.9]).Conclusion:In axSpA, response to the second TNFi is worse compared to the first TNFi. Patients with a secondary failure to the first TNFi have a better response to the second TNFi compared to those discontinuing the first TNFi due to primary failure, particularly for most stringent outcomes.Table.Association between the reason for discontinuation of the first TNFi and response to the second TNFiReason to discontinue first TNFi*Outcome for the second TNFiOR (95% CI)ASDAS-CII (N=135)ASDAS-MII (N=135)ASDAS-LDA (N=166)ASDAS-ID (N=166)BASDAI50 (N=147)(ref Primary failure) -Secondary failure1.9 (0.7;4.8)4.8 (1.3;18.2)1.2 (0.6;2.4)7.3 (1.9;27.7)1.4 (0.6;3.0) -Adverse events1.5 (0.6;3.5)2.4 (0.6;9.6)0.9 (0.5;1.7)9.1 (2.5;33.3)1.1 (0.5;2.3) -Other1.0 (0.3;3.8)1.7 (0.1;19.4)1.0 (0.4;2.4)7.7 (1.6;37.9)0.5 (0.1;1.7)*GEE models with the reason of discontinuation of the first TNFi as predictor (reference category: primary failure); all models adjusted for age, gender and C-reactive protein.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association between the image quality of cancer staging whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) and patient demographics, distress, and perceived scan burden. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sample of patients recruited prospectively to multicentre trials comparing WB-MRI with standard scans for staging lung and colorectal cancer were invited to complete two questionnaires. The baseline questionnaire, administered at recruitment, collated data on demographics, distress and co-morbidity. The follow-up questionnaire, completed after staging investigations, measured perceived WB-MRI scan burden (scored 1 low to 7 high). WB-MRI anatomical coverage, and technical quality was graded by a radiographic technician and grading combined to categorise the scan as "optimal", "sub-optimal" or "degraded". A radiologist categorised 30 scans to test interobserver agreement. Data were analysed using the chi-square, Fisher's exact, t-tests, and multinomial regression. RESULTS One hundred and fourteen patients were included in the study (53 lung, 61 colorectal; average age 65.3 years, SD=11.8; 66 men [57.9%]). Overall, 45.6% (n=52), scans were classified as "optimal" quality, 39.5% (n=45) "sub-optimal", and 14.9% (n=17) as "degraded". In adjusted analyses, greater deprivation level and higher patient-reported scan burden were both associated with a higher likelihood of having a sub-optimal versus an optimal scan (odds ratio [OR]: 4.465, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.454 to 13.709, p=0.009; OR: 1.987, CI: 1.153 to 3.425, p=0.013, respectively). None of the variables predicted the likelihood of having a degraded scan. CONCLUSIONS Deprivation and patients' perceived experience of the WB-MRI are related to image quality. Tailored protocols and individualised patient management before and during WB-MRI may improve image quality.

Abstract
Ulcerating and mutilating variant of carpal tunnel syndrome occurs in longstanding cases of untreated disease. Pa- tients present with painless ulcers of the second and third fingers, accompanied with other cutaneous and sensory changes. These patients are often misdiagnosed as having a Raynaud disease or systemic sclerosis. Clinical assessment is the gold standard for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, but hand radiography and electromyography help supporting the diagnosis. The authors present two cases of this ulcerating variant of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Abstract
We present extractions of the nucleon nonsinglet moments utilizing new precision data on the deuteron F_{2} structure function at large Bjorken-x determined via the Rosenbluth separation technique at Jefferson Lab Experimental Hall C. These new data are combined with a complementary set of data on the proton previously measured in Hall C at similar kinematics and world datasets on the proton and deuteron at lower x measured at SLAC and CERN. The new Jefferson Lab data provide coverage of the upper third of the x range, crucial for precision determination of the higher moments. In contrast to previous extractions, these moments have been corrected for nuclear effects in the deuteron using a new global fit to the deuteron and proton data. The obtained experimental moments represent an order of magnitude improvement in precision over previous extractions using high x data. Moreover, recent exciting developments in lattice QCD calculations provide a first ever comparison of these new experimental results with calculations of moments carried out at the physical pion mass, as well as a new approach that first calculates the quark distributions directly before determining moments.

Abstract
The Spin Asymmetries of the Nucleon Experiment measured two double spin asymmetries using a polarized proton target and polarized electron beam at two beam energies, 4.7 and 5.9 GeV. A large-acceptance open-configuration detector package identified scattered electrons at 40° and covered a wide range in Bjorken x (0.3<x<0.8). Proportional to an average color Lorentz force, the twist-3 matrix element, d[over ˜]_{2}^{p}, was extracted from the measured asymmetries at Q^{2} values ranging from 2.0 to 6.0 GeV^{2}. The data display the opposite sign compared to most quark models, including the lattice QCD result, and an unexpected scale dependence. Furthermore, when combined with the neutron data in the same Q^{2} range the results suggest a flavor independent average color Lorentz force.

Abstract
Oral glucocorticoids (GC) preserve muscle strength and prolong walking in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Although vertebral fractures have been reported in boys taking GC, fracture rates for different GC regimes have not been investigated. The aim of this pragmatic longitudinal study was to compare growth, body mass, bone mineral density (BMD), vertebral fractures (VF) and ambulatory status in boys with DMD on daily (DAILY) or intermittent (INTERMITTENT), oral GC regimens. A convenience sample of 50 DMD boys from two centres was included in the study; 25 boys each were on the DAILY or INTERMITTENT regimen. Size adjusted lumbar spine BMD (LS BMAD), total body less head BMD (TBLH), by DXA and distal forearm bone densities by pQCT, GC exposure, VF assessment and ambulatory status were analysed at three time points; baseline, 1 and 2 years. At baseline, there were no differences in age, GC duration or any bone parameters. However, DAILY boys were shorter (height SDS DAILY = -1.4(0.9); INTERMITTENT = -0.8(1.0), p = 0.04) with higher BMI (BMI SDS DAILY = 1.5(0.9); INTERMITTENT = 0.8(1.0), p = 0.01). Over 2 years, DAILY boys got progressively shorter (delta height SDS DAILY = -0.9(1.1); INTERMITTENT = +0.1(0.6), p < 0.001). At their 2 year assessment, 5 DAILY and 10 INTERMITTENT boys were non-ambulant. DAILY boys had more VFs than INTERMITTENT boys (10 versus 2; χ2 p = 0.008). BMAD SDS remained unchanged between groups. TBLH and radius BMD declined significantly but the rate of loss was not different. In conclusion, there was a trend for more boys on daily GCs to remain ambulant but at the cost of more VFs, greater adiposity and markedly diminished growth. In contrast, boys on intermittent GCs had fewer vertebral fractures but there was a trend for more boys to loose independent ambulation.

Abstract
Chronic periodontitis is a multi-factorial disease involving anaerobic bacteria and the generation of an inflammatory response, including the production of metalloproteinases, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and eicosanoids. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and taurine-N-monochloramine (TauCl) are the end-products of the neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) respiratory burst. They act synergistically to modulate the inflammatory response. In the extracellular environment, HOCl and TauCl may directly neutralize interleukin 6 (IL-6) and several metalloproteinases, while HOCl increases the capacity of α2-macroglobulin to bind Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha, IL-2, and IL-6, and facilitates the release of various growth factors. TauCl inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators, prostaglandins, and nitric oxide. HOCl activates tyrosine kinase signaling cascades, generating an increase in the production of extracellular matrix components, growth factors, and inflammatory mediators. Thus, HOCl and TauCl appear to play a crucial role in the periodontal inflammatory process. Taken together, these findings may offer opportunities for the development of novel host-modulating therapies for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate factors associated with non identification of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) in lymphoscintigraphy of breast cancer patients and analyze the relationship with SLN metastases. MATERIAL AND METHODS A single-center, cross-sectional and retrospective study was performed. Forty patients with lymphoscintigraphy without sentinel lymph node identification (negative lymphoscintigraphy - NL) were enrolled. The control group included 184 patients with SLN identification (positive lymphoscintigraphy - PL). Evaluated factors were age, body mass index (BMI), tumor size, histology, localization, preoperative breast lesion hookwire (harpoon) marking and SLN metastases. The statistical analysis was performed with uni- and multivariate logistic regression models and matched-pairs analysis. RESULTS Age (p=0.036) or having BMI (p=0.047) were the only factors significantly associated with NL. Being ≥60 years with a BMI ≥30 increased the odds of having a NL 2 and 3.8 times, respectively. Marking with hookwire seems to increase the likelihood of NL, but demonstrated statistical significance is lacking (p=0.087). The other tested variables did not affect the examination result. When controlling for age, BMI and marking with the harpoon, a significant association between lymph node metastization and NL was not found (p=0.565). CONCLUSIONS The most important factors related with non identification of SLN in the patients were age, BMI and marking with hook wire. However, only the first two had statistical importance. When these variables were controlled, no association was found between NL and axillary metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing use of herbal products and herbal medicines globally with the belief that herbal medicines are always 'safe' and carry no risk because they are from natural sources. However, there are concerns regarding medicinal plants and their ability to produce adverse effects. The growing herbal medicine usage has increased the need to monitor the safety of herbal medicines. Thus, the recommended approach by the World Health Organization (WHO) is to include herbal medicines in existing national pharmacovigilance systems. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the knowledge of pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines amongst herbal medicine practitioners. METHODS The study was carried out in Lagos West Senatorial District of Lagos State, Nigeria. Three categories of practitioners (378 respondents) were engaged and they include Traditional Herbal Sellers, Natural Health Practitioners and Pharmacists. RESULTS The results showed that herbal medicines are commonly recommended for malaria, typhoid, diabetes and fever. 281 (74.3%) of the respondents claimed that herbal medicines have no adverse effects and only 91 (24.1%) of the respondents said there were some adverse effects reported by the users. Adverse effects reported include nausea, diarrhoea and weight loss. Amongst those that received reports of adverse effects, only 19 (20.9%) documented these reported adverse effects; none of these documentations were forwarded to the regulatory bodies or national pharmacovigilance centre in Nigeria. CONCLUSIONS These results showed inadequate adverse effects monitoring (Pharmacovigilance) amongst the practitioners and underscore the necessity to educate and enlighten herbal medicine practitioners on the need for pharmacovigilance activity of herbal products.

Abstract
We studied simultaneously the (4)He(e,e'p), (4)He(e,e'pp), and (4)He(e,e'pn) reactions at Q(2)=2(GeV/c)(2) and x(B)>1, for an (e,e'p) missing-momentum range of 400 to 830 MeV/c. The knocked-out proton was detected in coincidence with a proton or neutron recoiling almost back to back to the missing momentum, leaving the residual A=2 system at low excitation energy. These data were used to identify two-nucleon short-range correlated pairs and to deduce their isospin structure as a function of missing momentum, in a region where the nucleon-nucleon (NN) force is expected to change from predominantly tensor to repulsive. The abundance of neutron-proton pairs is reduced as the nucleon momentum increases beyond ∼500 MeV/c. The extracted fraction of proton-proton pairs is small and almost independent of the missing momentum. Our data are compared with calculations of two-nucleon momentum distributions in (4)He and discussed in the context of probing the elusive repulsive component of the NN force.

Abstract
We have measured cross sections for the γ(3)He → pd reaction at photon energies of 0.4-1.4 GeV and a center-of-mass angle of 90°. We observe dimensional scaling above 0.7 GeV at this center-of-mass angle. This is the first observation of dimensional scaling in the photodisintegration of a nucleus heavier than the deuteron.

Abstract
An experiment with a newly developed high-resolution kaon spectrometer and a scattered electron spectrometer with a novel configuration was performed in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. The ground state of a neutron-rich hypernucleus, (Λ)(7)He, was observed for the first time with the (e, e'K+) reaction with an energy resolution of ~0.6 MeV. This resolution is the best reported to date for hypernuclear reaction spectroscopy. The (Λ)(7)He binding energy supplies the last missing information of the A = 7, T = 1 hypernuclear isotriplet, providing a new input for the charge symmetry breaking effect of the ΛN potential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) Meniscectomy (MX) of sheep induces a well-established animal model of human osteoarthritis (OA). This study compared the clinical (lameness) and pathological outcomes of unilateral, complete medial MX vs two less traumatic and more easily performed meniscal destabilisation procedures. METHODS Four-year old wethers (n = 6/group) underwent sham operation, cranial pole release (CPR), mid-body transection (MBT) or total MX of the medial meniscus. Joints were assessed for gross pathology (cartilage erosion and osteophytes), histomorphometry, two histopathology scoring methods (modified Mankin-type and Pritzker score), and immunohistology for ADAMTS- and MMP-cleaved neoepitopes, at 12 weeks post-op. Ground reaction forces (GRFs) were determined by force plate in a subset (n = 4/group) at baseline, 2.5, 8, and 12 weeks post-op. RESULTS Gross pathology scores of operated groups differed significantly from sham animals (P < 0.05) but not from each other, though qualitative differences were noted: CPR sheep developed more cranial and focal lesions, while MBT and MX joints showed more widespread lesions and osteophyte formation. Similarly, histopathology scores were significantly elevated vs sham but did not differ between operated groups at P < 0.05, except for a trend for lower tibial cartilage histopathology in MBT consistent with the immunohistologic pattern of reduced aggrecanase-cleavage neoepitope in that model. CPR sheep developed less femoral subchondral sclerosis, suggesting some residual biomechanical effect from the destabilised but intact meniscus. Few significant differences were noted between operated groups in force plate analyses, though gait abnormalities appeared to be least in CPR sheep, and most persistent (>12 weeks) in MBT animals. CONCLUSION The well-validated ovine MX model and the simpler meniscal destabilisation procedures resulted in broadly similar joint pathology and lameness. Meniscal CPR or MBT, as easier and more clinically relevant procedures, may represent preferred models for the induction of OA and evaluation of potential disease-modifying therapies.

Abstract
Exclusive π(0) electroproduction at a beam energy of 5.75 GeV has been measured with the Jefferson Lab CLAS spectrometer. Differential cross sections were measured at more than 1800 kinematic values in Q(2), x(B), t, and ϕ(π), in the Q(2) range from 1.0 to 4.6 GeV(2), -t up to 2 GeV(2), and x(B) from 0.1 to 0.58. Structure functions σ(T)+ϵσ(L), σ(TT), and σ(LT) were extracted as functions of t for each of 17 combinations of Q(2) and x(B). The data were compared directly with two handbag-based calculations including both longitudinal and transversity generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Inclusion of only longitudinal GPDs very strongly underestimates σ(T)+ϵσ(L) and fails to account for σ(TT) and σ(LT), while inclusion of transversity GPDs brings the calculations into substantially better agreement with the data. There is very strong sensitivity to the relative contributions of nucleon helicity-flip and helicity nonflip processes. The results confirm that exclusive π(0) electroproduction offers direct experimental access to the transversity GPDs.

Abstract
We report on the first measurement of the F(2) structure function of the neutron from the semi-inclusive scattering of electrons from deuterium, with low-momentum protons detected in the backward hemisphere. Restricting the momentum of the spectator protons to ≲100 MeV/c and their angles to ≳100° relative to the momentum transfer allows an interpretation of the process in terms of scattering from nearly on-shell neutrons. The F(2)(n) data collected cover the nucleon-resonance and deep-inelastic regions over a wide range of Bjorken x for 0.65<Q(2)<4.52 GeV(2), with uncertainties from nuclear corrections estimated to be less than a few percent. These measurements provide the first determination of the neutron to proton structure function ratio F(2)(n)/F(2)(p) at 0.2≲x≲0.8 with little uncertainty due to nuclear effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of HIV infection reduces morbidity and mortality associated with late presentation. Despite UK guidelines, the HIV testing rate has not increased. We have introduced universal HIV screening in an open-access returning traveller clinic. METHODS Data were prospectively recorded for all patients attending the open-access returning traveller clinic between August 2008 and December 2010. HIV testing was offered to all patients from May 2009; initially testing with laboratory samples (phase 1) and subsequently a point-of-care test (POCT) (phase 2). RESULTS A total of 4965 patients attended the clinic; 1342 in phase 0, 792 in phase 1 and 2831 in phase 2. Testing rates for HIV increased significantly from 2% (38 of 1342) in phase 0 to 23.1% (183 of 792) in phase 1 and further increased to 44.5% (1261 of 2831) during phase 2 (P < 0.0001). Two new diagnoses of HIV-1 were identified in phase 1 (1.1% of tested); seven patients had a reactive POCT test in phase 2, of whom five (0.4% of those tested) were confirmed in a 4th generation assay. The patients with false reactive tests had a concurrent Plasmodium falciparum infection. Patients travelling to the Middle East and Europe were less likely to accept an HIV test with POCT. CONCLUSIONS A nurse-delivered universal point-of-care HIV testing service has been successfully introduced and sustained in an acute medical clinic in a low-prevalence country. Caution is required in communicating reactive results in low-prevalence settings where there may be alternative diagnoses or a low population prevalence of HIV infection.

Abstract
We present new measurements of electron scattering from high-momentum nucleons in nuclei. These data allow an improved determination of the strength of two-nucleon correlations for several nuclei, including light nuclei where clustering effects can, for the first time, be examined. The data also include the kinematic region where three-nucleon correlations are expected to dominate.

Abstract
Intensive theoretical and experimental efforts over the past decade have aimed at explaining the discrepancy between data for the proton electric to magnetic form factor ratio, G(E)/G(M), obtained separately from cross section and polarization transfer measurements. One possible explanation for this difference is a two-photon-exchange contribution. In an effort to search for effects beyond the one-photon-exchange or Born approximation, we report measurements of polarization transfer observables in the elastic H(e[over →],e(')p[over →]) reaction for three different beam energies at a Q(2)=2.5 GeV(2), spanning a wide range of the kinematic parameter ε. The ratio R, which equals μ(p)G(E)/G(M) in the Born approximation, is found to be independent of ε at the 1.5% level. The ε dependence of the longitudinal polarization transfer component P(ℓ) shows an enhancement of (2.3±0.6)% relative to the Born approximation at large ε.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the transverse momentum dependence of double-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive production of pions in deep-inelastic scattering off the longitudinally polarized proton. Data have been obtained using a polarized electron beam of 5.7 GeV with the CLAS detector at the Jefferson Lab (JLab). Modulations of single spin asymmetries over the azimuthal angle between lepton scattering and hadron production planes ϕ have been measured over a wide kinematic range in Bjorken x and virtual photon squared four-momentum Q2. A significant nonzero sin2ϕ single spin asymmetry was observed for the first time indicating strong spin-orbit correlations for transversely polarized quarks in the longitudinally polarized proton.

Abstract
We have measured the 3He(e,e' pp)n reaction at an incident energy of 4.7 GeV over a wide kinematic range. We identified spectator correlated pp and pn nucleon pairs by using kinematic cuts and measured their relative and total momentum distributions. This is the first measurement of the ratio of pp to pn pairs as a function of pair total momentum p(tot). For pair relative momenta between 0.3 and 0.5 GeV/c, the ratio is very small at low p(tot) and rises to approximately 0.5 at large p(tot). This shows the dominance of tensor over central correlations at this relative momentum.

Abstract
We present new data on electron scattering from a range of nuclei taken in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. For heavy nuclei, we observe a rapid falloff in the cross section for x>1, which is sensitive to short-range contributions to the nuclear wave function, and in deep inelastic scattering corresponds to probing extremely high momentum quarks. This result agrees with higher energy muon scattering measurements, but is in sharp contrast to neutrino scattering measurements which suggested a dramatic enhancement in the distribution of the "superfast" quarks probed at x>1. The falloff at x>1 is noticeably stronger in 2H and 3He, but nearly identical for all heavier nuclei.

Abstract
Because of their long lifetimes, the ω and ϕ mesons are the ideal candidates for the study of possible modifications of the in-medium meson-nucleon interaction through their absorption inside the nucleus. During the E01-112 experiment at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, the mesons were photoproduced from 2H, C, Ti, Fe, and Pb targets. This Letter reports the first measurement of the ratio of nuclear transparencies for the e+e- channel. The ratios indicate larger in-medium widths compared with what have been reported in other reaction channels. The absorption of the ω meson is stronger than that reported by the CBELSA-TAPS experiment and cannot be explained by recent theoretical models.
