Abstract
We present a new measurement of the positive muon magnetic anomaly, a_{μ}≡(g_{μ}-2)/2, from the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment using data collected in 2019 and 2020. We have analyzed more than 4 times the number of positrons from muon decay than in our previous result from 2018 data. The systematic error is reduced by more than a factor of 2 due to better running conditions, a more stable beam, and improved knowledge of the magnetic field weighted by the muon distribution, ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, and of the anomalous precession frequency corrected for beam dynamics effects, ω_{a}. From the ratio ω_{a}/ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, together with precisely determined external parameters, we determine a_{μ}=116 592 057(25)×10^{-11} (0.21 ppm). Combining this result with our previous result from the 2018 data, we obtain a_{μ}(FNAL)=116 592 055(24)×10^{-11} (0.20 ppm). The new experimental world average is a_{μ}(exp)=116 592 059(22)×10^{-11} (0.19 ppm), which represents a factor of 2 improvement in precision.

Abstract
We present the first results of the Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) Muon g-2 Experiment for the positive muon magnetic anomaly a_{μ}≡(g_{μ}-2)/2. The anomaly is determined from the precision measurements of two angular frequencies. Intensity variation of high-energy positrons from muon decays directly encodes the difference frequency ω_{a} between the spin-precession and cyclotron frequencies for polarized muons in a magnetic storage ring. The storage ring magnetic field is measured using nuclear magnetic resonance probes calibrated in terms of the equivalent proton spin precession frequency ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'} in a spherical water sample at 34.7 °C. The ratio ω_{a}/ω[over ˜]_{p}^{'}, together with known fundamental constants, determines a_{μ}(FNAL)=116 592 040(54)×10^{-11} (0.46 ppm). The result is 3.3 standard deviations greater than the standard model prediction and is in excellent agreement with the previous Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) E821 measurement. After combination with previous measurements of both μ^{+} and μ^{-}, the new experimental average of a_{μ}(Exp)=116 592 061(41)×10^{-11} (0.35 ppm) increases the tension between experiment and theory to 4.2 standard deviations.

Abstract
The motor outcome for 53 six-year-old children with birthweights of 1251g or less who were receiving mainstream education is reported. Compared with age and sex matched classmates, these children had significantly poorer motor skills, as assessed by the Test of Motor Impairment. Despite lower scores in tests of fine motor, ball and balancing skills, these children were perceived by their teachers to be performing satisfactorily at school. The impairment observed was independent of IQ and social and demographic variables. Because of the risk of later schooling difficulties, very low birthweight children should be considered for early assessment by occupational therapists and physiotherapists in view of the frequent motor problems encountered.

Abstract
Brainstem A2/C2 catecholamine (CA) neurons within the solitary tract nucleus (NTS) influence many homeostatic functions, including food intake, stress, respiratory and cardiovascular reflexes. They also play a role in both opioid reward and withdrawal. Injections of opioids into the NTS modulate many autonomic functions influenced by catecholamine neurons including food intake and cardiac function. We recently showed that NTS-CA neurons are directly activated by incoming visceral afferent inputs. Here we determined whether opioid agonists modulate afferent activation of NTS-CA neurons using transgenic mice with EGFP expressed under the control of the tyrosine hydroxylase promoter (TH-EGFP) to identify catecholamine neurons. The opioid agonist Met-enkephalin (Met-Enk) significantly attenuated solitary tract-evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (ST-EPSCs) in NTS TH-EGFP neurons by 80%, an effect reversed by wash or the mu opioid receptor-specific antagonist D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH(2) (CTOP). Met-Enk had a significantly greater effect to inhibit afferent inputs onto TH-EGFP-positive neurons than EGFP-negative neurons, which were only inhibited by 50%. The mu agonist, DAMGO, also inhibited the ST-EPSC in TH-EGFP neurons in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, neither the delta agonist DPDPE, nor the kappa agonist, U69,593, consistently inhibited the ST-EPSC amplitude. Met-Enk and DAMGO increased the paired pulse ratio, decreased the frequency, but not amplitude, of mini-EPSCs and had no effect on holding current, input resistance or current-voltage relationships in TH-EGFP neurons, suggesting a presynaptic mechanism of action on afferent terminals. Met-Enk significantly reduced both the basal firing rate of NTS TH-EGFP neurons and the ability of afferent stimulation to evoke an action potential. These results suggest that opioids inhibit NTS-CA neurons by reducing an excitatory afferent drive onto these neurons through presynaptic inhibition of glutamate release and elucidate one potential mechanism by which opioids could control autonomic functions and modulate reward and opioid withdrawal symptoms at the level of the NTS.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the positive muon lifetime to a precision of 1.0 ppm; it is the most precise particle lifetime ever measured. The experiment used a time-structured, low-energy muon beam and a segmented plastic scintillator array to record more than 2×10(12) decays. Two different stopping target configurations were employed in independent data-taking periods. The combined results give τ(μ(+)) (MuLan)=2 196 980.3(2.2) ps, more than 15 times as precise as any previous experiment. The muon lifetime gives the most precise value for the Fermi constant: G(F) (MuLan)=1.166 378 8(7)×10(-5) GeV(-2) (0.6 ppm). It is also used to extract the μ(-)p singlet capture rate, which determines the proton's weak induced pseudoscalar coupling g(P).

Abstract
A survey was conducted to determine sedation and delirium practices in Australian and New Zealand intensive care units. The survey was in two parts, comprising an online survey of reported sedation and delirium management (unit survey) and a collection of de-identified data about each patient in a unit at a given time on a specified day (patient snapshot survey). All intensive care units throughout Australia and New Zealand were invited by email to participate in the survey. Twenty-three predominantly metropolitan, level III Australian and New Zealand intensive care units treating adult patients participated. Written sedation policies were in place in 48% of units, while an additional 44% of units reported having informal sedation policies. Seventy percent of units routinely used a sedation scale. In contrast, only 9% of units routinely used a delirium scale. Continuous intravenous infusion is the primary means of patient sedation (74% of units). While 30% of units reported routinely interrupting sedation, only 10% of sedated patients in the snapshot survey had had their sedation interrupted in the preceding 12 hours. Oversedation appears to be common (46% of patients with completed sedation scales). Use of neuromuscular blockade is low (10%) compared to other published studies. Midazolam and propofol were the most frequently used sedatives. The proportion of patients developing delirium was 21% of assessable patients. Failed and self-extubation rates were low: 3.2% and 0.5% respectively. In Australian and New Zealand intensive care units, routine use of sedation scales is common but not universal, while routine delirium assessment is rare. The use of a sedation protocol is valuable and should be encouraged.

Abstract
The spin precession frequency of muons stored in the (g-2) storage ring has been analyzed for evidence of Lorentz and CPT violation. Two Lorentz and CPT violation signatures were searched for a nonzero delta omega a(=omega a mu+ - omega a mu-) and a sidereal variation of omega a mu+/-). No significant effect is found, and the following limits on the standard-model extension parameters are obtained: bZ = -(1.0+/-1.1) x 10(-23) GeV; (m mu dZ0 + HXY)=(1.8+/-6.0) x 10(-23) GeV; and the 95% confidence level limits b perpendicular mu+ <1.4 x 10(-24) GeV and b perpendicular mu- <2.6 x 10(-24) GeV.

Abstract
The mean life of the positive muon has been measured to a precision of 11 ppm using a low-energy, pulsed muon beam stopped in a ferromagnetic target, which was surrounded by a scintillator detector array. The result, tau(micro)=2.197 013(24) micros, is in excellent agreement with the previous world average. The new world average tau(micro)=2.197 019(21) micros determines the Fermi constant G(F)=1.166 371(6)x10(-5) GeV-2 (5 ppm). Additionally, the precision measurement of the positive-muon lifetime is needed to determine the nucleon pseudoscalar coupling g(P).

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of learned resourcefulness training (LRT) on health of elders in retirement communities (RCs). In a clinical trial, 46 elders in four randomly selected RCs received resourcefulness training and were compared to 43 elders in four RCs who participated in a focused reflection reminiscence (FRR) group. The two groups were similar at baseline. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed no changes on anxiety or depression over time; however, both were significantly correlated with functional status (r's = 0.29 and 0.35, p's < 0.01), self-assessed health (r's = -0.18 and -0.26, p's < 0.05), and resourcefulness (r's = -0.24 and -0.21, p's < 0.05). Although main effects for group were not significant, interaction effects of group and time on self-assessed health and functional status were found. These findings suggest that although teaching resourcefulness to groups of elders in RCs may have beneficial effects on improving their perception of health and functioning over time, significant effects on mental health may not be apparent.

Abstract
We investigated whether enhancing locomotory activity could accelerate the axonal growth underlying the significant recovery of function after a complete spinal transection in the eel, Anguilla. Eels with low spinal transections (at about 60% body length) were kept in holding tanks, where they were inactive, or made to swim continually against a water current at about one body length/s. Their locomotion was periodically assessed by measuring tail beat frequencies at different swimming speeds. Axonal growth was determined from anterograde labeling with 1,1'-diotadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate, inserted postmortem into the spinal cord, just rostral to the transection. Twenty days after surgery, there were significantly more labeled growth cones more than 2 mm caudal from the transection in the exercised fish (74.6+/-2.3%; cf. 34.5+/-1.1%). This difference was still observed at 40 days (57.9+/-1.6% cf. 42.1+/-2% >2 mm), but the regenerated axons were of similar maximum lengths by 120 days (9.8+/-0.3 cf. 7.7+/-2.8 mm). After surgery, each eel undulated its whole body faster at any given swimming speed, thus changing the linear relationship between tail beat frequency and forward speed established before transection. The slope increased by up to 112.5+/-27.4% over the first 8 days post-surgery in inactive animals, while a smaller rise (45.6+/-10.5%) was observed in exercised fish during this period. Thereafter, the slope progressively declined to pre-surgery levels in both groups of animals, but the recovery occurred within 20+/-4 days in exercised eels, as opposed to 40+/-5 days in inactive fish. The locomotory performance of sham-operated fish was unaffected by 10 days of continual locomotion and remained similar to that of naïve eels, pre-transection. These data show that elevated locomotory activity enhances axonal growth and accelerates recovery of locomotory function.

Abstract
The eel, Anguilla anguilla, as with other fish species, recovers well from spinal cord injury. We assessed the quality of locomotion of spinally transected eels from measurements made from video recordings of individuals swimming at different speeds in a water tunnel. Following transection of the spinal cord just caudal to the anus, the animals displayed higher tail beat frequencies and lower tail beat amplitudes than before surgery, owing to the loss of power in this region. Swimming performance then progressively recovered, appearing normal within 1 month of surgery. Eels with similar transections, but given regular, repeated intraperitoneal injections (50 mg/kg) of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) showed an equivalent pattern of decline and recovery that was 10-20 days shorter than that seen in non-treated fish. Axonal growth into the denervated cord, as determined from anterograde labelling experiments, was also more rapid in the drug-treated fish. L-DOPA treatment increased the activity of all fish for up to 18 h, and accelerated the spontaneous movements ('spinal swimming') made by the denervated, caudal portion of the animal that appeared following transection. We suggest that this enhancement of locomotion underlies the accelerated axonal growth and, hence, functional recovery.

Abstract
A new highly sensitive method of looking for electric dipole moments of charged particles in storage rings is described. The major systematic errors inherent in the method are addressed and ways to minimize them are suggested. It seems possible to measure the muon EDM to levels that test speculative theories beyond the standard model.

Abstract
The anomalous magnetic moment of the negative muon has been measured to a precision of 0.7 ppm (ppm) at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. This result is based on data collected in 2001, and is over an order of magnitude more precise than the previous measurement for the negative muon. The result a(mu(-))=11 659 214(8)(3) x 10(-10) (0.7 ppm), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, is consistent with previous measurements of the anomaly for the positive and the negative muon. The average of the measurements of the muon anomaly is a(mu)(exp)=11 659 208(6) x 10(-10) (0.5 ppm).

Abstract
Percutaneous tracheostomy is commonly performed in the intensive care unit. This study assesses the long-term outcomes following percutaneous tracheostomy using the Griggs technique. We carried out a prospective observational cohort study. Two hundred and eight patients who had undergone percutaneous tracheostomy between 1 September 1996 and 31 July 2000 and who were alive at least six months following the procedure, were included in the study. Median follow-up was at 30 months. All patients were sent questionnaires regarding relevant symptoms. One hundred and six (51%) responded and were invited for further follow-up. Forty-three (20.6%) patients underwent scar evaluation by the investigators and 41/208 (19.7%) underwent spirometry. Of the responders, 38% complained of some degree of voice change and 12% complained of ongoing severe cough. Thirty-one per cent complained of shortness of breath, with more than half of these having concomitant heart or lung disease, which may explain this. Eighty-one per cent of patients had minimally visible or a visible but neat scar. Eight patients (8/41 (19.5%)) had some evidence of upper airway obstruction on spirometry, but only 2/41 (5% of patients) were symptomatic (stridor or shortness of breath). We conclude that percutaneous tracheostomy using the Griggs technique has an acceptable long-term complication rate.

Abstract
Evoked field potentials were recorded from the mesencephalic ('optic') tectum, cerebellar corpus, midline rhombencephalon, and spinal cord of decerebrated brown trout in response to single electrical shocks given to an optic nerve. Evoked responses were also recorded from the rhombencephalon and spinal cord following stimulation (singly and with trains) to the optic tectum and to the cerebellar corpus. The potentials recorded from the tectum in response to optic nerve stimulation were similar in form to those reported by other workers from other species of teleost. The rhombencephalic responses to optic nerve and tectal stimulation were complex and comprised presumed pre- and post-synaptic events. Cerebellar stimulation evoked no detectable responses in these brain regions, but when given prior to tectal stimulation (by up to 10 ms), tectally-evoked spinal cord responses were reduced in amplitude by as much as 85%. After cerebellar ablation, there was no difference from controls in the latency, form or amplitude of any response, even when tested with paired pulse stimulation. However, when the cerebellum was ablated, rhombencephalic and spinal responses to optic nerve and tectal stimulation were markedly enhanced (by 200-300%). These clear-cut complimentary consequences of cerebellar ablation or stimulation emphasize the gain-setting role of the cerebellum and indicate, at least in relation to optically evoked motor activity, that cerebellar regulation acts at the level of the supraspinal drive to spinal motor circuits and not within the sensory centers.

Abstract
Aerosolized NONOates have been investigated in animal models in acute pulmonary hypertension, but none have been used in humans. We report the first use of aerosolized diethylenetriamine nitric oxide adduct (DETA/NO), a NONOate, in a patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Both pulmonary vascular resistance index and mean pulmonary arterial pressure were reduced by a mean of 26% and 18% respectively after the administration of a single dose of DETA/NO (150 micromol). Intrapulmonary shunting also improved. There were no significant changes in systemic arterial pressure or arterial methaemoglobin concentration after DETA/NO inhalation. We conclude that DETA/NO aerosol produced selective pulmonary vasodilation, with an improvement in pulmonary haemodynamics and oxygenation, while having no measurable effect on the systemic circulation.

Abstract
This research has examined the relationship between axonal regeneration and the return of normal movement following complete transection of the spinal cord. We made measurements of tail beat frequency and amplitude of the caudal body wave from video recordings of eels (Anguilla anguilla) swimming in a water tunnel at several speeds. Each eel was then anaesthetised and the spinal cord cut caudal to the anus; in some animals the resulting gap was filled with a rubber block. All animals were kept at 25 degrees C for recovery periods ranging from 7 to 128 days, during which their swimming performance was monitored regularly. Each fish was then re-anaesthetised and perfused with fixative and the regrowing descending axons labelled with 1,1'-diotadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate. For all animals and at all speeds after surgery, tail beat frequency increased, while amplitude decreased. In non-blocked animals, an improvement in performance was first seen from 8 days following transection and thereafter tail beat frequency decreased progressively until it had returned to normal after 35 to 45 days, while amplitude remained below baseline until at least 45 days. In these animals, few axonal growth cones had penetrated the caudal stump by 7 days, but some had extended as much as 3 mm by 15 days. Many had reached as far as 6 mm between 25 and 36 days, while by 128 days they had progressed up to 10.5 mm. Contralateral crossing was never observed. Functional recovery was never witnessed in animals in which the cord had been blocked and these eels swam at all times with elevated tail beat frequency and reduced caudal amplitude. No labelled axons could be traced into the caudal spinal cord at any recovery stage in such animals. We conclude that re-innervation of only 1-2 segments caudal to the injury is necessary for functional recovery, although continued axonal growth may be important for the refinement of some aspects of movement.

Abstract
Activity-dependent Fos-like expression was investigated immunohistochemically in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) that had performed vibratory-evoked startle responses. We found significantly higher numbers of Fos-like-immunoreactive neurons in the reticular formation, in the octavolateral area, and in several cranial nerve motor nuclei in the brain and in the motor column of the spinal cord of startled fish than in control fish. In one fish, in which stimulation did not evoke startle responses, substantial numbers of positive cells occurred in the brain, primarily in the magnocellular octavolateral nucleus. We observed Fos-like-immunoreactive neurons in cell groups that are known to participate in the startle response (e.g., the Mauthner cell) as well as in cell groups that have been proposed but until now not shown to be involved.

Abstract
For gene therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the Escherichia coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP)/fludarabine suicide gene system may be more useful than the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (HSV-tk/GCV) system as a result of a stronger bystander effect. To analyze the molecular mechanisms involved in PNP/fludarabine-mediated cell death in human HCC cells in comparison with HSV-tk/GCV, we transduced human HCC cells of the cell lines, HepG2 and Hep3B, with PNP or HSV-tk using adenoviral vectors, followed by prodrug incubation. Both systems predominantly induced apoptosis in HepG2 and Hep3B cells. PNP/fludarabine induced strong p53 accumulation and a more rapid onset of apoptosis in p53-positive HepG2 cells as compared with p53-negative Hep3B cells, but efficiency of tumor cell killing was similar in both cell lines. In contrast, HSV-tk/GCV-induced apoptosis was reduced in p53-negative Hep3B cells as compared with p53-positive HepG2 cells. HSV-tk/GCV, but not PNP/fludarabine, caused up-regulation of Fas in p53-positive HepG2 cells and of Fas ligand (FasL) in both HCC cell lines. These results demonstrate cell line-specific differences in response to treatment with PNP/fludarabine and HSV-tk/GCV, respectively, and indicate that PNP/fludarabine may be superior to HSV-tk/GCV for the treatment of human HCC because of its independence from p53 and the Fas/FasL system.

Abstract
We have investigated the detail with which supraspinal neurons innervate different regions in the spinal cord. Horseradish peroxidase was applied at different levels of the cord: (1) to the cut surface; (2) injected iontophoretically into one side; or (3) into one of the motoneuron pools innervating different muscle compartments. In all cases, labeled neurons were found throughout the brain distributed over nuclear groups identified in previous fish studies. Some cells from all but one of the nuclei have axons that extend over the whole length of the cord and about 50% of all neurons project to post-anal levels. No topographical distribution relating somal position and target location was found. Sixty seven percent of the neurons send axons to the ipsilateral side of the cord, although most nuclear groups provide a bilateral projection. Nucleus ruber projects entirely contralaterally. The descending and magnocellular octavolateral nuclei, and the descending nucleus of the trigeminal nerve project entirely ipsilaterally. Neurons that project to the spinal motoneuron pools innervating the myotomal red- or white-muscle are distributed throughout the same brain stem nuclei, but the cell bodies of those neurons innervating white-muscle motoneurons are larger. Nineteen pairs of cells were found to be consistently identifiable and all project to all levels of the cord; they were only labeled from injections made into the white-muscle motoneuron pool.

Abstract
As the target musculature they innervate grows throughout life, certain segmental motoneurons from the spinal cord of Anguilla, readily identified on the basis of their form and position, also increase in size. In doing so, they present a steadily increasing target to the spinal and supraspinal neurons that innervate them. How the afferent neurons respond was assessed by measuring features of their synaptic boutons contacting the motoneuronal perikarya, as seen with electron microscopy. About 60% of the perimeter of the perikaryal profile of each motoneuron was found to be covered with synaptic bouton profiles, a value that is independent of the size of the motoneuron. Furthermore, the distances between synaptic profiles, their contact sizes (measured as apposition length) and the number and size of the vesicles each profile contains were all found to be relatively constant and also independent of motoneuronal size. In contrast, the number of synaptic profiles contacting a motoneuron correlated well with its perikaryal size. Our findings indicate that the challenge of a growing neuronal target is met by a steady increase in the number of contacting boutons, the form and spacing of which are held relatively constant; this strategy will require continual synaptic realignment at the target.

Abstract
NY-ESO-1 elicits frequent antibody responses in cancer patients, accompanied by strong CD8(+) T cell responses against HLA-A2-restricted epitopes. To broaden the range of cancer patients who can be assessed for immunity to NY-ESO-1, a general method was devised to detect T cell reactivity independent of prior characterization of epitopes. A recombinant adenoviral vector encoding the full cDNA sequence of NY-ESO-1 was used to transduce CD8-depleted peripheral blood lymphocytes as antigen-presenting cells. These modified antigen-presenting cells were then used to restimulate memory effector cells against NY-ESO-1 from the peripheral blood of cancer patients. Specific CD8(+) T cells thus sensitized were assayed on autologous B cell targets infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus encoding NY-ESO-1. Strong polyclonal responses were observed against NY-ESO-1 in antibody-positive patients, regardless of their HLA profile. Because the vectors do not cross-react immunologically, only responses to NY-ESO-1 were detected. The approach described here allows monitoring of CD8(+) T cell responses to NY-ESO-1 in the context of various HLA alleles and has led to the definition of NY-ESO-1 peptides presented by HLA-Cw3 and HLA-Cw6 molecules.

Abstract
HLA-A2.1/K(b) transgenic mice (A2.1/K(b) mice) were used to investigate the processing of human gp100 melanoma antigen by murine antigen presenting cells (APC). Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) from A2.1/K(b) mice were transduced with adenovirus encoding human gp100 (Ad2/hugp100v2). The Ad2/hugp100v2-transduced DC express human gp100, as documented by immunoperoxidase staining. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrates that Ad vector transduction does not downregulate expression of several markers, including MHC class I. We show that Ad2/hugp100v2-transduced DC are recognized by peptide-specific, A2.1-restricted CTL, suggesting correct processing and presentation of the hugp100 antigen by murine DC. To assess dominance among the various A2.1-restricted epitopes encoded by hugp100, A2.1/K(b) transgenic mice were immunized with Ad2/hugp100v2-transduced DC. Resulting effector cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were assayed for peptide specificity using a panel of six synthetic peptides known to encode A2.1-restricted epitopes of human gp100 (denoted G154, G177, G209, G280, G457, G476). CTL obtained from Ad2/hugp100v2-transduced DC immunized A2.1/K(b) mouse lysed target cells presenting five of the six epitopes, supporting the observation that murine cells correctly process the hugp100 antigen. The immunogenicity of individual gp100 epitopes correlates with their binding affinity to A2.1. CTL generated from A2.1/K(b) mice immunized with Ad2/hugp100v2-transduced DC also specifically recognize A2.1(+)/gp100(+) human melanoma cells. These data suggest that murine APC process and present the same set of HLA-restricted peptides, similar to human APC. HLA transgenic mice serve as a useful model system to study class I-restricted epitopes of human tumor-associated antigens.

Abstract
The purpose of this Phase I study was to determine the feasibility of using an anti-erbB-2-encoding adenovirus (Ad21) to treat erbB-2-overexpressing ovarian cancer. Recurrent ovarian cancer patients were treated i.p. with Ad21 in dosages ranging from 1 x 10(9) to 1 x 10(11) pfu. Patients were monitored after treatment for evidence of clinical toxicity and efficacy. Peritoneal aspirates and serum samples were obtained to assess for evidence of gene transfer/expression, for generation of wild-type vector, and antiadenoviral humoral response. Fifteen patients were treated per study specifications. Treatment-specific grade 1/2 fever was experienced by 9 of 15 (60%) patients. Other transient grade 1/2 constitutional, pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms were also experienced. No dose-limiting vector-related toxicity was experienced. Of 13 patients evaluable for response, 5 (38%) had stable disease and 8 (61%) had evidence of progressive disease. One patient with nonmeasurable disease normalized her CA125 at the 8-week evaluation, and one patient with nonmeasurable disease remained without clinical evidence of disease for 6 months after treatment. PCR analysis of peritoneal aspirates demonstrated the presence of Ad21 in 84.6%, 84.6%, and 61.6% of evaluable specimens at days 2, 14, and 56 after treatment, respectively. No wild-type virus was detected. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis demonstrated expression of the anti-erbB-2 sFv-encoding gene in 10 of 14 evaluable patients at day 2. Five of six evaluable patients had an increase in antiadenovirus antibody titer. This study suggests that adenoviral-mediated gene therapy using an anti-erbB-2-directed intrabody is feasible in the context of human ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus (Ad) encoding human gp100 or MART-1 melanoma Ag was used to transduce human dendritic cells (DC) ex vivo as a model system for cancer vaccine therapy. A second generation E1/E4 region deleted Ad which harbors the CMV immediate-early promoter/enhancer and a unique E4-ORF6/pIX chimeric gene was employed as the backbone vector. We demonstrate that human monocyte-derived DC are permissive to Ad infection at multiplicity of infection between 100 and 500 and occurs independent of the coxsackie Ad receptor. Fluorescent-labeled Ad was used to assess the kinetics and distribution of viral vector within DC. Ad-transduced DC show peak transgene expression at 24-48 h and expression remains detectable for at least 7 days. DC transduced with replication-deficient Ad do not exhibit any unusual phenotypic characteristics or cytopathic effects. DC transduced with Ad2/gp100v2 can elicit tumor-specific CTL in vitro from patients bearing gp100+ metastatic melanoma. Using a panel of gp100-derived synthetic peptides, we show that Ad2/gp100v2-transduced DC elicit Ag-specific CTL that recognize only the G209 and G280 epitopes, both of which display relatively short half-lives ( approximately 7-8 h) on the surface of HLA-A*0201+ cells. Thus, patients with metastatic melanoma are not tolerant to gp100 Ag based on the detection of CD8+ T cells specific for multiple HLA-A*0201-restricted, gp100-derived epitopes.

Abstract
Adenoviral vectors expressing tumor-associated antigens can be used to evoke a specific immune response and inhibit tumor growth. In this study, we tested the efficacy of adenoviral vectors encoding human gp100 (Ad2/hugp100), murine gp100 (Ad2/mugp100), or murine TRP-2 (Ad2/muTRP-2) for their ability to elicit a specific cellular immune response and inhibit the growth of B16 melanoma tumor cells in the mouse. C57BL/6 mice were immunized with Ad2/hugp100, Ad2/mugp100, or Ad2/muTRP-2 either 2 weeks prior to B16-F10 tumor challenge (prophylactic treatment) or 3 days after tumor challenge (active treatment). Ad2/hugp100 and Ad2/muTRP-2 administered to two or more intradermal (i.d.) sites inhibited subsequent subcutaneous tumor growth in > or = 80% of the mice and elicited an antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte response, whereas other administration routes were not as effective. Ad2/mugp100 administered to two i.d. sites did not inhibit tumor growth or provoke cellular immunity. Immunization was less effective with active treatment where tumor growth was not significantly inhibited by a single dose of either Ad2/muTRP-2 or Ad2/hugp100. However, increasing the number of intradermal immunization sites and the number of doses resulted in progressive improvements in protection from tumor growth in the active treatment model. In conclusion, breaking host tolerance to elicit protective immunity by using adenoviral vectors expressing melanoma-associated antigens is dependent upon the choice of antigen, the site of administration, and the number of doses. These observations provide insights into the clinical applicability of adenoviral vaccines for immunotherapy of malignant diseases.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to determine the efficacy of and dose-response relationships to inhaled aerosolized prostacyclin (IAP), when used as a selective pulmonary vasodilator (SPV) in patients with severe hypoxemia due to ARDS. DESIGN Unblinded, interventional, prospective clinical study. SETTING A general ICU in a university-affiliated, tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Nine adult patients with severe ARDS (lung injury score, > or = 2.5). INTERVENTIONS All patients received IAP over the dose range 0 to 50 ng/kg/min. The IAP was delivered via a jet nebulizer placed in the ventilator circuit. Dose increments were 10 ng/kg/min every 30 min. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Cardiovascular parameters (cardiac index and mean pulmonary and systemic pressures), indexes of oxygenation (PaO(2)/fraction of inspired oxygen [FIO(2)] ratio and alveolar-arterial oxygen partial pressure difference [P(A-a)O(2)]) and shunt fraction were measured or calculated at each dose interval, as were platelet aggregation and systemic levels of prostacyclin metabolite (6-keto prostaglandin F1(alpha)). A generalized linear regression model was used to determine a dose effect of IAP on these parameters. The Wilcoxon rank sum test for related measures was used to compare the effects of various doses of IAP. IAP acted as an SPV, with a statistically significant dose-related improvement in PaO(2)/FIO(2) ratio (p = 0.003) and P(A-a)O(2) (p = 0.01). Systemic prostacyclin metabolite levels increased significantly in response to delivered IAP (p = 0.001). There was no significant dose effect on systemic or pulmonary arterial pressures, or on platelet function, as determined by platelet aggregation in response to challenge with adenosine diphosphate. CONCLUSIONS IAP is an efficacious SPV, with marked dose-related improvement in oxygenation and with no demonstrable effect on systemic arterial pressures over the dose range 0 to 50 ng/kg/min. Despite significant systemic levels of prostacyclin metabolite, there was no demonstrable platelet function defect.

Abstract
For the 180,000 men who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, improvements in the disease's medical management have prolonged life expectancy. Long-standing treatment side effects include bowel and urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, which frequently are embarrassing and contribute to poor emotional well-being. Despite the popularity of support groups in alleviating emotional symptoms related to cancer and its treatment, few men participate in such groups. This article focuses on the reasons why men do not find support groups appealing and presents alternatives that may be more acceptable. Suggestions are made for clinical and research implications.

Abstract
To assess the direct effects and interactive models of social support, caregivers to functionally impaired older adults were identified by hospital personnel. Within a week of referral, family caregivers were interviewed in the home about strain, depressive symptomatology, caregiving appraisal, informal social support, and coping. Caregiving appraisal significantly explained strain and depressive symptomatology. The interaction of social support with strain did not moderate or lessen depressive symptomatology. These findings suggest that nursing continue to examine the effect of home health care on strain and depressive symptomatology of caregivers of older adults.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional Ag-presenting cells that are being considered as potential immunotherapeutic agents to promote host immune responses against tumor Ags. In this study, recombinant adenovirus (Ad) vectors encoding melanoma-associated Ags were used to transduce murine DCs, which were then tested for their ability to activate CTL and induce protective immunity against B16 melanoma tumor cells. Immunization of C57BL/6 mice with DCs transduced with Ad vector encoding the hugp100 melanoma Ag (Ad2/hugp100) elicited the development of gp100-specific CTLs capable of lysing syngeneic fibroblasts transduced with Ad2/hugp100, as well as B16 cells expressing endogenous murine gp100. The induction of gp100-specific CTLs was associated with long term protection against lethal s.c. challenge with B16 cells. It was also possible to induce effective immunity against a murine melanoma self Ag, tyrosinase-related protein-2, using DCs transduced with Ad vector encoding the Ag. The level of antitumor protection achieved was dependent on the dose of DCs and required CD4+ T cell activity. Importantly, immunization with Ad vector-transduced DCs was not impaired in mice that had been preimmunized against Ad to mimic the immune status of the general human population. Finally, DC-based immunization also afforded partial protection against established B16 tumor cells, and the inhibition of tumor growth was improved by simultaneous immunization against two melanoma-associated Ags as opposed to either one alone. Taken together, these results support the concept of cancer immunotherapy using DCs transduced with Ad vectors encoding tumor-associated Ags.

Abstract
We report a survey of 196 consecutive central venous catheters (CVCs) placed in 151 patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) over a ten-month period. Over this time the use of a new antiseptic-impregnated triple lumen CVC (Arrowgard Blue, Arrow International Inc., Pennsylvania, U.S.A.) was alternated on a bimonthly basis with the standard triple-lumen CVC (Arrow International Inc., Pennsylvania, U.S.A.). The overall rate of CVC tip infection was lower in the impregnated CVC group (15.6% vs 30.9%, P < 0.05). The impregnated CVC group had a much lower cumulative infection rate when the dwell time in patients was five days or less (3.3% vs 26.9%, P < 0.05). However, the difference between the cumulative infection rate was not statistically significant (P > 0.05) for dwell times of 6, 7 or 8 days respectively. There was no difference in the CVC related bacteraemia rates between the two groups (3.9% vs 3.7%, P > 0.05).

Abstract
The influence of pharmacist participation on economic and morbidity outcomes at a tertiary care teaching hospital was studied. Patients admitted to internal medicine wards during a nine-month period were assigned to either a treatment team or a control team. Each team consisted of an attending physician, senior and junior medical residents, and medical students; the treatment team included a pharmacist who reviewed all patient charts, made rounds with the team, and recommended modifications of drug therapy. Pharmacy interaction with the control team was limited to contacting physicians about potentially dangerous orders, answering questions from the medical team, and handling orders for items not on the formulary or otherwise unavailable. After discharge, data from patient records were analyzed for pharmacy costs and total hospital costs and length of stay (as markers of the pharmacist's effect on economics and morbidity, respectively). Analysis of baseline characteristics showed that the two groups of patients were statistically comparable. Treatment team patients who were included in the data analysis (414) had significantly shorter stays (by a mean of 1.3 days) and lower pharmacy and total hospital costs (by a mean of $301 and $1654, respectively) than those included in the control team analysis (453). The direct participation of a pharmacist on a patient care team significantly decreased pharmacy and hospital costs, as well as length of stay, compared with minimal participation of a pharmacist.

Abstract
Muscle rigidity and spasms occur with neurological disease and may contribute to contractures and shortening of muscle fibers that can interfere with motor behaviors, such as ambulation, or activities of daily living, such as combing hair, feeding or dressing. The neuromuscular technique (NMT) and muscle energy technique (MET) are nursing interventions that can reduce pain and muscle rigidity, lengthen muscle fibers and increase range of motion necessary for normal motor behavior. Nurses can use these techniques in patients with acute neurological diseases and those recovering in rehabilitation and long-term care settings. With some neurological diseases, muscle rigidity, increased muscle tone and muscle spasms reduce the range of motion of joints and the quality of movement. These changes often lead to contractures and impairments in performing daily tasks or ambulating, and thus, to loss of independence. Soft tissue manipulation can be used to reduce muscle tension and spasms, reduce pain and enhance the range of motion of joints whose function depends on the involved muscles. Soft tissue manipulation may also improve movement during specific tasks. Although the muscle relaxation achieved with manipulation techniques is primarily short-term, long-term effects occur. This article describes two techniques of soft tissue manipulation, their mechanisms of action, assessment and implementation. A case study is used to illustrate application of the techniques and possible long-term effects.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to establish the validity and reliability of an instrument for the measurement of caregiver strain, the Parent Caregiver Strain Questionnaire (PCSQ), with data from 283 adult children who were providing care to a neurologically impaired patient. Principal axis factor analysis of data rotated to an oblimin solution revealed five well-defined, first-order factors that explained 59% of the total variance in caregiver strain. The five-factors were interrelated with caregiver strain as theoretically predicted. Coefficient alphas for the five factors were in the range from .74 to .93. The findings provide beginning evidence of the adequacy of the PCSQ, and favor continued investigation into the theoretical and psychometric properties of the instrument.

Abstract
In this secondary analysis, 890 patients 40 years of age and older were assessed within 24 hours of transfer from intensive care to medical/surgical units. Nursing diagnoses documented in the hospital record were compared to supporting clinical evidence obtained from subjects, the hospital record, and interviews with subjects and nurse caregivers. The congruence, based on the kappa statistic, between the nursing diagnosis and clinical evidence ranged from 0.1% for altered thought processes to 10% for impaired gas exchange, impaired physical mobility, and potential for injury, while no diagnoses were made for self-care deficits or sensory alterations, visual, when clinical evidence for them was available.
