Abstract
The Nutrition North Canada (NNC) program, introduced in April 2011 is a federal strategy to improve access to perishable, nutritious foods for remote and isolated communities in northern Canada by subsidising retailers to provide price reductions at the point of purchase. As of March 2023, 123 communities are eligible for the program. To evaluate existing evidence and research on the NNC program to inform policy decisions to improve the effectiveness of NNC. A scoping review of peer-reviewed articles was conducted in ten databases along with a supplemental grey literature search of government and non-government reports published between 2011 and 2022. The search yielded 172 publications for screening, of which 42 were included in the analysis. Narrative thematic evidence synthesis yielded 104 critiques and 341 recommendations of the NNC program across eight themes. The most-identified recommendations focus on transparency, communication, and support for harvesting, hunting, and community food initiatives. This review highlights recommendations informed by the literature to address critiques of the NNC program to improve food security, increase access to perishable and non-perishable items, and support community-based food initiatives among eligible communities. The review also identifies priority areas for future policy directions such as additional support for education initiatives, communication and transparency amidst program changes, and food price regulations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex pleural space infections are commonly managed with antibiotics, pleural drainage, intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy, and surgery. These strategies often utilize radiographic imaging during management, however little data is available on cumulative radiation exposure received during inpatient management. We aimed to identify the type and quantity of radiographic studies along with the resultant radiation exposure during the management of complex pleural space infections. METHODS Retrospective review of community network healthcare system from January 2015 to July 2018. Patients were identified through billing databases as receiving intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy and/or surgical intervention. Patient demographics, clinical outcomes, and inpatient radiographic imaging was collected to calculate cumulative effective dose. RESULTS A total of 566 patients were identified with 7275 total radiographic studies performed and a median cumulative effective dose of 16.9 (IQR 9.9-26.3) mSv. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed computed tomography use was associated with increased cumulative dose, whereas increased age was associated with lower cumulative dose. Over 74% of patients received more than 10 mSv, with 7.4% receiving more than 40 mSv. CONCLUSIONS The number of radiographic studies and overall cumulative effective dose in patients hospitalized for complex pleural space infection was high with the median cumulative effective dose > 5 times normal yearly exposure. Ionizing radiation and modern radiology techniques have revolutionized medical care, but are likely not without risk. Additional study is warranted to identify the frequency and imaging type needed during complex pleural space infection management, attempting to keep ionizing radiation exposure as low as reasonably possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung isolation with bronchial blockers is a well-described and accepted procedure, often described for use during the management of massive hemoptysis. Recommendations for balloon inflation are sparse, with some advocating for saline whereas other suggest air, including the manufacturers. We sought to evaluate the optimal method for balloon inflation in an ex vivo trial. METHODS We performed a prospective trial utilizing 3 commercially available bronchial blockers commonly described for use in lung isolation and massive hemoptysis management. We utilized the Arndt Endobronchial Blocker (Cook Medical), the Cohen Tip Deflecting Endobronchial Blocker (Cook Medical), and the Fogarty Venous Thrombectomy Catheter (Edwards LifeSciences). Balloon size and deflation assessment were tested within 3 different scenarios comparing air versus saline.Welch t test was performed to compare means between groups, and a generalized estimating equation model was utilized to compare balloon diameter over time to account for correlation among repeated measures from the same balloon. RESULTS All 3 endobronchial blocker systems were observed in triplicate. During free-standing balloon inflation, all 3 endobronchial systems displayed a greater degree of balloon deflation over time with air as opposed to saline (P < .001). Within a stent-based model, inflation with air of all 3 endobronchial systems, according to manufacturer recommendations, demonstrated significantly decreased time until fluid transgression occurred when compared to a saline model (P < .001). Within a stent-based model, inflation with air, according to clinical judgment, demonstrated significantly decreased time until fluid transgression in the Arndt (P = .016) and the Fogarty (P < .001) system, but not the Cohen (P = .173) system, when compared with saline. CONCLUSIONS The utilization of saline for balloon inflation during bronchial blockade allows for more consistent balloon inflation. The use of saline during balloon inflation appears to delay passive, spontaneous balloon deflation time when compared to air during a model of endobronchial blockade. The approach of saline inflation should be tested in humans to demonstrate the overall applicability and validity of the current findings.

Abstract
TPS8576 Background: The anti–PD-L1 mAb atezo blocks the interaction between PD-L1 and its receptors PD-1 and B7.1 and restores anti-tumor immunity. In the OAK trial, pts with 2L/3L advanced NSCLC had improved mOS in the atezo arm (13.8 mo) vs the docetaxel (doc) arm (9.6 mo), with a survival benefit observed regardless of PD-L1 expression levels on tumor cells (TC) or tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC). However, more effective treatment options are needed for pts with early-stage NSCLC. A global Phase III, randomized, open-label trial, IMpower010 (NCT02486718), is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezo vs BSC following adjuvant cisplatin (cis)–based chemotherapy (chemo) in pts with resected stage IB (tumors ≥ 4 cm)-IIIA NSCLC. Methods: Pts eligible for study must have complete tumor resection 4 to 12 weeks prior to enrollment for pathologic stage IB (tumors ≥ 4 cm)-IIIA NSCLC, be adequately recovered from surgery, be able to receive cis-based adjuvant chemo and have an ECOG PS 0-1. Pts with other malignancies, autoimmune disease, hormonal cancer or radiation therapy within 5 years and prior chemo or immunotherapy are excluded from study. Approximately 1127 pts will be enrolled regardless of PD-L1 status. Pts will receive up to four 21-d cycles of cis-based chemo (cis [75 mg/m2 IV, d 1] + vinorelbine [30 mg/m2 IV, d 1, 8], doc [75 mg/m2 IV, d 1] or gemcitabine [1250 mg/m2 IV, d 1, 8], or pemetrexed [500 mg/m2 IV, d 1; only non-squamous NSCLC]). No adjuvant radiation therapy is permitted. After adjuvant chemo, eligible pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive 16 cycles of atezo 1200 mg q3w or BSC. Stratification factors include sex, histology (squamous vs non-squamous), disease stage (IB vs II vs IIA) and PD-L1 status by IHC (TC2/3 [≥ 5% expressing PD-L1] and any IC vs TC0/1 [ < 5%] and IC2/3 vs TC0/1 and IC0/1 [ < 5%]). The primary endpoint is disease-free survival; secondary endpoints include OS and safety. Exploratory biomarkers, including PD-L1 expression, immune- and tumor-related biomarkers before, during and after treatment with atezo and at radiographic disease recurrence, or confirmation of new primary NSCLC, will be evaluated. Clinical trial information: NCT02486718.

Abstract
7520 Background: Small randomized and non-randomized studies suggest induction chemotherapy may improve survival in early stage NSCLC. The primary objective of this study was to determine if induction PC could improve survival over surgery alone. Preliminary results of this trial were reported at ASCO 2005 (J Clin Oncol, ASCO Proc 23(16S) 2005:7012). Median time for patients alive at last contact is now 46 months (mos). Methods: Consenting patients with clinical stage T2N0, T1–2N1 and T3N0–1 NSCLC (excluding superior sulcus tumors) were stratified by clinical stage (IB/IIA vs. IIB/IIIA) and randomized to induction PC (P:225 mg/m2 over 3 hours, C:AUC=6) on day 1, every 3 weeks × 3 or surgery alone. Eligible patients had a performance status 0–1, age =18 years (yrs), predicted post- resection FEV1 =1.0L. Surgery was at least a lobectomy and mediastinal nodal sampling. The primary endpoint was a 33% increase in overall survival over expected 2.7 yrs median for surgery. Planned sample size was 600 patients, 81% power, 1-sided test, 0.025 significance. Results: S9900 closed 07/04 when adjuvant chemotherapy became standard. 354 patients had accrued; 174-surgery alone, 180- induction PC; 19 were ineligible. Median age 65 yrs, 66% male, 70% IB/IIA, 30% IIB/IIIA. Major radiographic response to induction PC was 41%. Treatment-related deaths: 3 during induction PC, 11 within 30 days of surgery (7-induction PC arm, 4-control). Progression-free survival (PFS), overall (OS) survival rates and hazard ratios (HR) are shown. Conclusions: PFS and OS continue to trend in favor of induction PC with HR similar to those observed in adjuvant trials, supporting the role of chemotherapy in operable NSCLC. Randomized trials comparing induction to adjuvant chemotherapy are warranted. Supported by SWOG CA30102. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
L523S is an immunogenic lung cancer antigen that has demonstrated preclinical safety when the gene is injected intramuscularly as an expressive plasmid (pVAX/L523S) and when delivered following incorporation into an E1B-deleted adenovirus (Ad/L523S). We performed a phase I clinical trial in 13 stage IB, IIA, and IIB non-small-cell lung cancer patients. pVAX/L523S (8 mg on days 0 and 14 in all cohorts) and Ad/L523S (1, 20, 400 x 10(9) vp on days 28 and 56, cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively) were administered to 3 patients in each of three cohorts. No significant toxic effect was identified. All but 1 patient demonstrated greater than or equal to twofold elevation in anti-adenovirus antibodies. One of 10 evaluable patients demonstrated L523S-specific antibody by direct IgG ELISA. Two patients developed disease recurrence and all remain alive after a median of 290 days follow-up. Results suggest a high level of safety but evidence of L523S-directed immune activation was limited, suggesting a need for modification of dose, schedule, and site of vaccination (i.e., intradermal) with further clinical testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We undertook to determine whether adjuvant vinorelbine plus cisplatin prolongs overall survival among patients with completely resected early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with completely resected stage IB or stage II non-small-cell lung cancer to vinorelbine plus cisplatin or to observation. The primary end point was overall survival; principal secondary end points were recurrence-free survival and the toxicity and safety of the regimen. RESULTS A total of 482 patients underwent randomization to vinorelbine plus cisplatin (242 patients) or observation (240); 45 percent of the patients had pathological stage IB disease and 55 percent had stage II, and all had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0 or 1. In both groups, the median age was 61 years, 65 percent were men, and 53 percent had adenocarcinomas. Chemotherapy caused neutropenia in 88 percent of patients (including grade 3 febrile neutropenia in 7 percent) and death from toxic effects in two patients (0.8 percent). Nonhematologic toxic effects of chemotherapy were fatigue (81 percent of patients), nausea (80 percent), anorexia (55 percent), vomiting (48 percent), neuropathy (48 percent), and constipation (47 percent), but severe (grade 3 or greater) toxic effects were uncommon (<10 percent). Overall survival was significantly prolonged in the chemotherapy group as compared with the observation group (94 vs. 73 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.69; P=0.04), as was relapse-free survival (not reached vs. 46.7 months; hazard ratio for recurrence, 0.60; P<0.001). Five-year survival rates were 69 percent and 54 percent, respectively (P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant vinorelbine plus cisplatin has an acceptable level of toxicity and prolongs disease-free and overall survival among patients with completely resected early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE A retrospective review of the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) database was undertaken to review the incidence and timing of diagnosis of brain metastases in patients undergoing combined-modality therapy for stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Four hundred twenty-two eligible, assessable patients with stage IIIA/B NSCLC were treated on four SWOG protocols. Treatment varied with protocol but consisted of concurrent cisplatin-etoposide and radiation in all patients, with a surgery arm in two of the four protocols. Results Of the 422 total patients, 268 (64%) have experienced disease progression; 54 relapses (20%) were in brain only, 17 (6.5%) were in brain and other sites simultaneously, and 197 (63.5%) were in sites other than brain. Of the 268 patients with disease progression, progression in the brain only, in the brain and other sites, and not in the brain occurred in 20%, 6%, and 74% of patients, respectively. Time from treatment to diagnosis of disease progression in the brain in 71 patients was as follows: during treatment, 16 relapses (22.5%); 0 to 16 weeks after treatment, 17 relapses (24%); 16 weeks to 6 months after treatment, 10 relapses (14%); 6 to 12 months after treatment, 16 relapses (22.5%); and more than 12 months after treatment, 12 relapses (17%). Nonsquamous histology and young patient age were the only significant predictors for increased risk of early relapse with brain metastases. CONCLUSION Brain metastases often develop early in the course of treatment for stage IIIA/B NSCLC. The statistical designs of ongoing trials of prophylactic cranial irradiation in stage III NSCLC have taken this into account.

Abstract
Accelerated cellular senescence (ACS) has been described for tumor cells treated with chemotherapy and radiation. Following exposure to genotoxins, tumor cells undergo terminal growth arrest and adopt morphologic and marker features suggestive of cellular senescence. ACS is elicited by a variety of chemotherapeutic agents in the p53-null, p16-deficient human non-small cell H1299 carcinoma cells. After 10 to 21 days, infrequent ACS cells (1 in 10(6)) can bypass replicative arrest and reenter cell cycle. These cells express senescence markers and resemble the parental cells in their transcription profile. We show that these escaped H1299 cells overexpress the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc2/Cdk1. The escape from ACS can be disrupted by Cdc2/Cdk1 kinase inhibitors or by knockdown of Cdc2/Cdk1 with small interfering RNA and can be promoted by expression of exogenous Cdc2/Cdk1. We also present evidence that ACS occurs in vivo in human lung cancer following induction chemotherapy. Viable tumors following chemotherapy also overexpress Cdc2/Cdk1. We propose that ACS is a mechanism of in vivo tumor response and that mechanisms aberrantly up-regulate Cdc2/Cdk1 promotes escape from the senescence pathway may be involved in a subset of tumors and likely accounts for tumor recurrence/progression.

Abstract
Over a period of four years, beginning in spring 1988, a previously healthy man developed a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, treated with radiotherapy, followed by 10 distinct, primary bronchial squamous cell carcinomas. Four of the cancers were surgically resected, all of which were positive by hybridization for human papilloma virus (type 16). Following the institution of alpha interferon, three smaller lesions disappeared and a larger one shrank in size, facilitating surgical resection. Over the following seven years no new ones have appeared. The finding of papilloma virus in malignancies should prompt consideration of antiviral therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new biodegradable polymeric sealant to close intraoperative air leaks after pulmonary resection. METHODS In a multicenter prospective randomized trial, 161 patients with a median age of 67 years old (range 18-85 years old), were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive sealant or control for at least one significant air leak (> or = 2.0 mm in size) after pulmonary resection. In the sealant group, all significant air leaks underwent attempted repair by standard methods (sutures, staples, or cautery) prior to the application of sealant. The control group underwent only standard methods. Blood was analyzed for immunologic response. Patients were followed up 1 month after surgery. RESULTS Intraoperative air leaks were sealed in 77% of the sealant group compared with 16% in the control group (p < 0.001). The sealant group had significantly fewer patients with postoperative air leaks compared with the control group (65% vs 86%, p = 0.005). Median length of hospitalization was 6 days (range, 3-23 days) for the sealant group compared with 7 days (range 4-38 days) for controls (p = 0.028). There was no difference in mortality, morbidity, duration of chest tubes, or immune responses between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a biodegradable polymer when used as an adjunct to standard closure methods for sealing significant intraoperative air leaks that develop from pulmonary surgery. Use of the sealant led to a reduction in postoperative air leaks, which may have decreased the length of hospitalization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of chronic diaphragmatic hernias, whether due to congenital defects or trauma, may be difficult to make and may rely on clinical suspicion in the setting of persistent nondiagnostic radiographic findings. Repair is indicated to avoid catastrophic cardiopulmonary compromise and/or incarceration of abdominal organs. STUDY OBJECTIVES To review the varied presentations and treatment of chronic diaphragmatic hernia. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING University of Washington and Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, Washington. PATIENTS Between 1997 and 2001, nine patients presented with chronic diaphragmatic hernia (two congenital cases, seven post-traumatic cases). Four cases involved the right diaphragm. The following clinical features were noted: asymptomatic, chest radiograph showing bowel herniation (n=1); chest wall mass (n=1); asymptomatic with the chest radiograph showing marked elevation of hemidiaphragm (n=1); dyspnea with the chest radiograph showing marked elevation of hemidiaphragm (n=1); diarrhea and heartburn (n=1); generalized gastrointestinal upset (n=1); recurrent pneumonia (n=2); recurring effusions (n=4); and dyspnea on exertion (n=5). INTERVENTIONS Diagnosis was confirmed by chest radiograph in two patients, chest computed tomography scan in one patient, barium studies in three patients and thoracoscopy in three patients. All hernias were repaired via thoracotomy, and two hernias were repaired with artificial patch. CONCLUSIONS Patients with chronic diaphragmatic hernias present with a variety of symptoms and radiographic findings. When radiology or symptoms suggest bowel involvement, barium studies are appropriate. In other cases, chest computed tomography scans and/or thoracoscopy are useful. Repair is accomplished through the ipsilateral chest, with primary repair of the diaphragm preferred over patch repair.

Abstract
We present the first case of complete hemithoracic reconstruction of an irradiated postpneumonectomy recurrent empyema cavity that was unresponsive to multiple conventional treatments. The procedure described used a chain-link of two coupled free flaps consisting of an omental and TRAM flap. A single abdominal donor site and single operative position are other advantages of this technique that provides sufficient volume to obviate the need for thoracoplasty even in the largest wounds.
