Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1 000 000 children (1). The Juvenile Systemic Scleroderma Inception cohort (jSScC) is the largest cohort of jSSc patients in the world. The jSScC collects longitudinal data prospectively in jSSc, allowing the evaluation of the development of organ involvement and patients and physician reported outcomes in jSSc over time.ObjectivesTo review the changes in the clinical characteristics and patient and physician reported outcomes over 12 months observation period from the time of inclusion into the cohort.MethodsThe jSScC cohort enrolls jSSc patients who developed the first non-Raynaud´s symptom before the age of 16 years and are under the age of 18 years at the time of inclusion (2, 3). We reviewed jSScC patient clinical data and patient and physician reported outcomes, who had 12 months follow up from the time of inclusion until 1st of December 2021.ResultsWe could extract data of 113 patients. The female/male ratio was 3.5:1. Median age of onset of Raynaud´s was 10.1 years and the median age of onset of non-Raynaud´s was 10.8 years. Eighty-eight percent of the patients were treated with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) at time of inclusion in the cohort (T0) and 93% after 12 months (T12). Median disease duration was 2.5 years at T0. Antibody profile stayed unchanged. Only 3 clinical parameters changed and improved significantly, the median modified Rodnan skin score improved from 13 to 8 (p=0.002), the number of patients with swollen joints decreased from 17% to 8% (p=0.043) and number of patients with joints with pain on motion decreased from 20% to 12% (p=0.048). All other organ involvement did not show any statistically significant change from T0 to T12.All collected patient reported outcomes improved significantly from T0 to T12: the patient reported disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) from 40 to 20 (p=0.011), the patient reported disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) from 40 to 20 (p=0.001), patient reported ulceration activity (VAS 0 – 100) from 10 to 0 (p=0.02) and the CHAQ score from 0.3 to 0.1 (p=0.002). Two of the three physician reported outcomes improved significantly, the physician global disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) from 30 to 20 (p=0.011) and physician reported global disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) from 30 to 25 (p=0.028).ConclusionSkin and musculoskeletal clinical features improved over 12 months, with almost all patients on DMARDs, supporting likely response of these features to therapy. It was promising that internal organ involvement, like cardiac and lung, although potentially stable, did not significantly worsen or increase. The most striking observation in the positive direction is improvement across several patient and physician reported outcome measures over the 12 month time period in this large international cohort.References[1]Beukelman T, Xie F, Foeldvari I.

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1 000 000 children (1). In adult patients there are significant differences between the clinical presentation of diffuse and limited subtypes (2). We reviewed clinical differences in presentation of subtypes in patients in the juvenile systemic scleroderma inception cohort up to 2021.ObjectivesTo study the clinical presentation of jSSc patients with diffuse (djSSc) and limited (ljSSc) subtypes.MethodsWe reviewed the clinical baseline characteristics of the patients, who were recruited to the juvenile scleroderma inception cohort (jSScC) (3, 4) till 1st of December 2021. jSScC is a prospective cohort of jSSc patients, who developed the first non-Raynaud´s symptom before the age of 16 years and are under the age of 18 years at the time of inclusion.Results210 patients with jSSc were included in the cohort, 71% (n=162) had diffuse subtype. The median age at onset of Raynaud phenomenon was 10.4 years (7.3 – 12.9) and the median age at the first non-Raynaud symptom was 10.9 years (7.4 – 13.2). Median disease duration was 2.5 years (1 – 4.4) at the time of inclusion. The female/male ratio was significantly lower in the djSSc subtype (3.7:1 versus 5:1, p<0.001). Antibody profile was quite similar, with the exception of a significantly higher number of anticentromere positive patients in the ljSSc (12% versus 2%, p=0.013). Decreased FVC < 80% was found in approximately 30% and decreased DLCO < 80% was found in around 40% in both subtypes. Pulmonary hypertension assessed by ultrasound was identified in 5% in both groups. Patients with diffuse subtype had significantly higher modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) (16 versus 4.5, p<0.001), sclerodactyly (84% versus 60%, p<0.001), history of digital ulceration (62% versus 31%, p<0.001), decreased Body Mass Index (BMI) < -2 z score (20% versus 4%, p=0.003) and decreased joint range of motion (64% versus 46%, p=0.019). Patients with ljSSc had significantly higher rate of cardiac involvement (13% versus 2%, p=0.001).Regarding patient related outcomes djSSc patients had more severe disease, looking at patient reported global disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) (40 versus 25, p=0.039), patient reported global disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) (40 versus 25, p=0.021) and patient reported assessment of ulceration activity (10 versus 0, p=0.044). Regarding physician related outcomes the physician reported global disease activity (VAS 0 – 100) (32 versus 20, p<0.001) and physician reported global disease damage (VAS 0 – 100) (30 versus 15, p=0.014) was significantly higher in djSSc.ConclusionIn this jSSc cohort, the largest in the world, djSSc patients have a significantly more severe disease than ljSSc patients. Interestingly, we found no differences regarding interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension.References[1]Beukelman T, Xie F, Foeldvari I.

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic scleroderma (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1,000,000 children. Currently no medications are licensed for the treatment of jSSc. Due to its rarity, only recently have the first management and treatment guidelines been published, the jSSc SHARE (Single Hub and Access point for paediatric Rheumatology in Europe) recommendations, reflecting consensus opinion upon pediatric rheumatologists (1).ObjectivesTo better understand treatment practices internationally for jSSc, both at baseline and over 24 months observation period and to compare if real world therapies are congruent with the recent SHARE recommendations.MethodsThe juvenile systemic sclerosis inceptions cohort (jSScC) is a multinational cohort that prospectively collects clinical data, including medications at baseline and subsequent visits. The jSScC enrollment criteria include age of onset of the first non-Raynaud symptom younger than 16 years and age younger than 18 years at cohort entrance. The frequency of medications (general category and specific medication) was calculated across the cohort at timepoint 0 (enrollment), 12 months and 24 months.ResultsWe extracted data from the jSScC of patients who were followed for 12 or 24 months. 109 patients were followed at time point 0 (T0) and 12 months (T12), and data was available for 77 of them up at 24 months (T24). The mean age of the patients was 13.2 years at the timepoint 0. 77% were female and 75% had diffuse subtype. Disease duration at baseline visit was 3.1 years. The medications the patients were on recorded by the physician were captured at T0, T12 and T24 listed in Table 1.Table 1.MEDICATIONSTime point 0N=109T12 monthsN=109T24 months N=77Any Medication92% (100)97% (106)97% (75)Vascular medications Endothelial receptor antagonist16% (17)24% (26)21% (16) PDE-5-Blocker5% (5)8% (9)9% (7)ImmunomodulatorsCorticosteroids52% (57)44% (48)44% (21)All csDMARDs:81% (88)93% (101)92% (71) csDMARDs monotherapy61% (67)66% (72)60% (46) csDMARDs combination therapy17% (18)15% (16)14% (11) Methotrexate51% (56)50% (55)39% (30) Mycophenolate Mofetil26% (28)44% (48)47% (36) Hydroxychloriquine11% (12)15% (16)21% (16) Cyclophosphamide12% (13)2% (2)1% (1) Azathioprine2% (2)2% (2)3% (2)All bDMARDs:5% (5)14% (15)18% (14) bDMARDs monotherapy2%(2)2%(2)1% (1) bDMARDs combined with csDMARDs3% (3)12% (13)17% (13) Tocilizumab2% (2)10% (11)14% (11) Rituximab2% (2)4% (4)4% (3) Adalimumab1% (1)0% (0)0% (0)Autologous Stem cell transplantation0% (0)1% (1)0% (0)csDMARDs: Conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugsb DMARDs: Biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugsConclusionAt baseline half of the patients were on corticosteroids. This is more frequent than typical adult SSc practice but coincides with jSSc SHARE treatment recommendations (#1). After 12 months observation in the cohort over 90% of patients received a DMARD therapy. Methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil were the most commonly prescribed DMARDs, which also reflects the SHARE treatment recommendations (#2, #3). At 12 months the use of glucocorticoid decreased and the use of bDMARDs increased. In general, biological DMARDs are typically considered in severe or refractory (SHARE recommendation #7), reflecting the lower percentage compared to csDMARDs. Autologous stem cell transplantation was observed in one patient at 12 months, reflecting an option in jSSc with progressive and refractory disease (SHARE recommendation #8). Endothelial receptor antagonists, such as bosentan, were used over time in approximately 20% of the patients, reflecting SHARE recommendation #6 for pulmonary hypertension and/or digital tip ulcers. This is the first evaluation looking at clinical medication practice pattern in jSSc, and its comparison to recently published consensus guidelines.References[1]Foeldvari I, Culpo R, Sperotto F et al.

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan autoimmune disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1 000 000 children. Information on long-term development of organ involvement and clinical characteristics of jSSc patients in adulthood are lacking. It was believed that patients in adult cohorts may represent a survival biased population.ObjectivesTo assess differences in clinical characteristics of jSSc-onset patients from the pediatric age group, with a mean disease duration of 3 years, compared to the adult age jSSc-onset group, with a mean disease duration of 18.5 years.MethodsWe extracted clinical data at time of inclusion into the cohorts from the Juvenile Scleroderma Inception Cohort (jSScC) and data from juvenile-onset adult SSc patients from the European Trials and Research Group (EUSTAR) cohort. We compared the clinical characteristics of the patients by descriptive statistics.ResultsWe extracted data of 187 jSSc patients from the jSScC and 236 patients from EUSTAR. The mean age at time of assessment was 13.4 years old in the jSScC and 32.4 years old in EUSTAR. The mean disease duration since first non-Raynaud was 3.0 years in jSScC and 18.5 years in the EUSTAR (Table 1).We found significant differences between the cohorts. There were more female patients in EUSTAR (87.7% versus 80.2%, p=0.04). More patients had diffuse subtype in jSScC (72.2% versus 40%, p<0.001). The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) was significantly higher in jSScC (14.2 versus 12.1, p=0.02). Active digital ulceration occurred more often in EUSTAR (26.6%, versus 17.8% p=0.01), but history of active ulceration was more frequent in jSScC (54.1% versus 43%, p<0.001). Mean DLCO was lower in jSScC (75.4 versus 86.3, p<0.001). Intestinal involvement was significantly more common in jSSc (33.2% versus 23.8%, p=0.04). Esophageal involvement was more common in EUSTAR (63.7% versus 33.7%, p<0.001).

This might represent a combination of both survival bias and/or be explained by the longer observation time with less active disease (i.e. natural progression decreased mRSS over time). Further long-term observational studies with jSSc patients are required to address this issue.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is a rare disease with a prevalence of around 3 in 1,000,000 children. To better capture the clinical manifestations of jSSc the juvenile systemic sclerosis inception cohort (jSScC) has been prospectively enrolling patients with predetermined clinical variables over the past 12 years. One of the goals is to study the demographic, clinical features, and physician and patient reported outcome differences between those with juvenile limited cutaneous (lc) compared to diffuse cutaneous (dc) disease subtypes, to determine if characteristics are similar or different between dc and lc jSSc.Objectives:Evaluation of the baseline clinical characteristics of jSSc patients in the jSScC. Compare clinical phenotype between diffuse (dcjSSc) and limited cutaneous (lcjSSc) subtypes.Methods:Demographic, physical examination, organ system evaluation, autoantibody profile, treatment, and patient and physician reported outcome variables were evaluated from the jSSc Inception cohort and summary statistics applied using chi-square test and Mann Whitney U-test comparing lcjSSc and dcjSSc subtypes.Results:At the time of data extraction, 175 jSSc patients were enrolled in the cohort, 81% were Caucasian and 81% female. Diffuse cutaneous jSSc subtype predominated (73%). Mean disease duration was 3.1 year (±2.7). Mean age at Raynaud´s was 10 years (+3.8) and mean age of first non-Raynaud´s was 10.2 years (±3.8). Significant differences were found between dcjSSc versus lcjSSc, regarding several clinical characteristics.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of around 3 in 1, 000,000 children. It is known that in pediatric jSSc cohorts, there are a significant number of patients with overlap features, such as arthritis and myositis. However, the disease burden between those with and without overlap features in jSSc has not been defined.Objectives:Compare the clinical phenotype between children with and without overlap features in the juvenile systemic scleroderma inception cohort (jSScC).Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed using baseline visit data. Demographic, organ system evaluation, autoantibody profile, treatment, and patient and physician reported outcome variables were extracted from jSScC. Comparison between patients with and without overlap features was performed using chi-square test and Mann Whitney U-test.Results:At the time of data extraction, 175 jSSc patients were enrolled in the cohort, 81% were Caucasian and 81% female. Mean disease duration was 3.1 year (±2.7). Mean age at Raynaud´s onset was 10 years (±3.8) and mean age of first non-Raynaud´s was 10.2 years (±3.8). Overlap features occurred 17% (n=30) of the cohort, 12.5% in the diffuse cutaneous (dc) jSSc and in 30% in the limited cutaneous (lc) jSSc. Significant differences in clinical characteristics were found between those patients with compared to without overlap characteristics. Patients with overlap features presented more frequently with Gottron papules (p=0.007), swollen joints (p=0.019), muscle weakness (p=0.003), and lung involvement documented by decreased DLCO < 80% (p=0.06) and/or abnormal high resolution computed tomography (p=0.049). Anti-PM/Scl autoantibodies were also more common in this group (p=0.001). Significantly more patients without overlap features had Raynaud´s (p=0.006). Physician Global Assessment of disease activity was significantly higher in patients with overlap features (41 vs 34; p=0.041).

Abstract
Background:Although children and adolescents are less likely to develop COVID-19 and generally show milder disease courses, it is unclear what impact the SARS-CoV2 infection has on children and adolescents with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMD). Due to their underlying disease as well as therapeutic immunosuppression these patients may be at higher risk of being more severely affected by SARS-CoV2. Furthermore, SARS-CoV2 infection might trigger a flare of the underlying disease.Objectives:To evaluate clinical characteristics and disease course of COVID-19 in children and adolescents with RMD and to analyze possible effects of SARS-CoV2 infection on the underlying disease under different therapeutic regimens.Methods:Data from juvenile patients with RMD recorded via the SARS-CoV2 questionnaire within the National Pediatric Rheumatology Database and the registry for hospitalized children and adolescents with COVID-19 of the German Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases were analyzed. In addition to age, sex and diagnosis, information was collected about the date and method of a positive SARS-CoV2 testing, reason for testing, on clinical manifestations, disease course, treatment and outcome of COVID-19, on drug therapy at the time of virus detection, on disease activity (NRS 0 – 10, 0 = best) of the underlying disease at the last visit before and after the SARS-CoV2 infection.Results:From April 17th 2020 until January 25th 2021, data of 67 patients with RMD and confirmed SARS-CoV2 infection were collected. Mean age was 13.5 ± 3.9 years with equal sex distribution. The majority of patients were diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA, 64%), 12 (18%) patients had an autoinflammatory disease (FMF, CAPS, PFAPA, TRAPS) and 5 (7%) a connective tissue disease. Fifty-two patients (78%) were treated with a disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), 39% with a biological DMARD and 9% systemic glucocorticoids at the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Nineteen patients (28%) were tested for SARS-CoV-2 because of typical symptoms, the majority (67%) because of contact to an infected person. PCR was used most often (in 60 %).52 patients (78%) developed symptoms of COVID-19, 15 patients remained asymptomatic. The most common symptom of COVID-19 was rhinitis (42%) and fever (38%), followed by fatigue (34%), taste/smell disorder (33%), sore throat (27%) and cough (23%).Disease severity was graded as mild in 44 of 52 (85%) symptomatic patients, only two patients were hospitalized, one of whom required intensive care and died of cardiorespiratory failure 3 days after symptom onset. In 22 of 26 (85%) SARS-CoV2-positive patients, no relevant increase in disease activity (difference in NRS ≤ 1 before/after infection) of the underlying disease was observed 31 days after symptom onset (median, IQR 17-52 days). One patient, who had paused tocilizumab for 2 doses, experienced a flare of his seronegative polyarthritis 2 months after asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.Conclusion:In our cohort, the clinical picture of COVID-19 in children and adolescents with RMD was similar to that of healthy peers. The majority of patients showed mild disease course with good outcome under various medications, however, one patient with a severe course of COVID-19 died. In addition, SARS-CoV2 infection does not appear to have a relevant impact on the underlying disease activity, whereas discontinuation of therapy might pose a risk of flare.Disclosure of Interests:None declared.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic scleroderma (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 in 1 000 000 children. There is rare longitudinal prospective follow up data of patients with jSSc. In the international juvenile systemic scleroderma cohort (JSScC) patients are followed with a standardized assessment prospectively.Objectives:To assess the changes regarding organ involvement pattern and patients related outcomes after 36 months follow up in the JSScC.Methods:Patients diagnosed according the ACR 2013 criteria for systemic sclerosis were included, if they developed the first non-Raynaud symptom before the age of 16 and were under the age of 18 at the time of inclusion. Patients were followed prospectively every 6 months with a standardized assessment.Results:39 patients in the JSScC had 36 months follow up. 80% had a diffuse subtype. 95% of the patients were Caucasian origin. 31 of the patients were female (80%). Mean disease duration at time of inclusion was 3.5 years. Mean age onset of Raynaud’s was 8.8 years and mean age of onset at the first non-Raynaud´s was 9.5 years. Around 30% of the patients were anti-Scl70 positive and none of them anti-centromere positive. The MRSS dropped from the time point of the inclusion into the cohort from 13.9 to 11.8 after 36 months. Pattern of organ involvement did not show any significant change, beside the increase of the nailfold capillary changes from 49% to 73% (p=0.037). No renal crisis occurred. No mortality was observed.They were positive significant changes in the patient related outcomes. The physician global disease activity decreased from 40.0 to 22.1 assessed on a VAS scale of 0 to 100 (p <0.001).Patients global disease activity decreased from 43.3 to 20.4 and patients global disease damage from 45.0 to 21.7 both assessed on a VAS scale of 0 to 100 (p<0.001).Conclusion:After 36 months follow up, we could observe a significant improvement of patient related outcomes and only one significant change in organ pattern involvement. In a mostly diffuse subset patient population this is a very promising result regarding outcome.Supported by the “Joachim Herz Stiftung”Disclosure of Interests:Ivan Foeldvari Consultant of: Novartis, Jens Klotsche: None declared, Ozgur Kasapcopur: None declared, Amra Adrovic: None declared, Maria T.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic scleroderma (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence of 3 per 1 000 000 children. There are limited data regarding the clinical presentation of jSSc. The Juvenile Systemic Scleroderma Inception Cohort (JSSIC) is the largest multinational registry that prospectively collects information about jSSc patients.Objectives:Evaluation of the jSSc patients at the time of inclusion in the JSSIC.Methods:Patients were included in the JSSIC if they fulfilled the adult ACR/EULAR classification criteria for systemic scleroderma, if they presented the first non-Raynaud symptom before 16 years of age and if they were younger than 18 years of age at time of inclusion. Patients’ characteristics at time of inclusion were evaluated.Results:Until 15thof December 2019 hundred fifty patients were included, 83% of them being Caucasian and 80% female. The majority had the diffuse subtype (72%) and 17% of all jSSc had overlap features. The mean age of first presentation of Raynaud´s phenomenon was 9.8 years in the diffuse subtype (djSSc) and 10.7 years in the limited subtype (ljSSc) (p=.197). The mean age at first non-Raynaud’s symptoms was 10.0 years in the djSSc and 11.2 years in the ljSSc (p=0.247). Mean disease duration at time of inclusion was 3.4 years in the djSSc and 2.4 years in the ljSSc group.Significant differences were found between the groups regarding mean modified Rodnan skin score, 18.2 in the djSSc vs 6.2 in the ljSSc (p=0.02); presence of Gottron´s papulae (djSSc 30% vs ljSSc 13%, p=0.43);presence of teleangiectasia (djSSc 42% vs 18% ljSS, p=0.01); history of ulceration (djSSc 42% vs 18% ljSSc,p=0.008); 6 Minute walk test below the 10thpercentile (djSSc 85% vs ljSSc 54%, p=0.044), total pulmonary involvement (djSSc 49% vs ljSSc 31%, p=0.045), cardiac involvement (ljSSc 17% vs djSSc 3%, p=0.002). djSSc patients had significantly worse scores for Physician Global Assessment of disease activity compared to ljSSc patients (VAS 0-100) (40 vs 15) (p=0.001) and for Physician Global Assessment of disease damage (VAS 0-100) (36 vs 17) (p=0.001).There were no statistically significant differences in the other presentations. Pulmonary hypertension occurred in approximately 6% in both groups. No systemic hypertension or renal crisis was reported. ANA positivity was 90% in both groups. Anti-Scl70 was positive in 35% in djSSc and 36% in the ljSSc group. Anticentromere positivity occurred in 3% in the djSSc and 7% in the ljSSc group.Conclusion:In this unique large cohort of jSSc patients there were significant differences between djSSc and ljSSc patients at time of inclusion into the cohort regarding skin, vascular, pulmonary and cardiac involvement. According to the physician global scores the djSSc patients had a significantly more severe disease. Interestingly the antibody profile was similar in both scleroderma phenotypes.Supported by the “Joachim Herz Stiftung”Disclosure of Interests: :Ivan Foeldvari Consultant of: Novartis, Jens Klotsche: None declared, Ozgur Kasapcopur: None declared, Amra Adrovic: None declared, Kathryn Torok: None declared, Maria T.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile systemic sclerosis (jSSc) is an orphan disease with a prevalence in around 3 in a million children. Pulmonary involvement in jSSc occurs in approximately 40 % in the inception cohort. Traditionally in jSSc, pulmonary function testing (PFT) with FVC and DLCO are used for screening and computed tomography (HRCT) was more reserved for those with abnormal PFTs. More recently, it has become apparent that PFTs might not be sensitive enough for detecting ILD in children.Objectives:Utilizing a prospective international juvenile systemic scleroderma cohort (JSScC) [2], to determine if pulmonary screening with FVC and DLCO is sufficient enough to assess the presence of interstitial lung disease in comparison to CT evaluation.Methods:The international juvenile systemic scleroderma cohort database was queried for available patients with recorded PFT parameters and HRCT performed to determine sensitivity of PFTs detecting disease process.Results:Of 129 patients in the jSScC, 67 patients had both CT imaging and an FVC reading from PFTs for direct comparison. DLCO readings were also captured but not in as many patients with tandem HRCT (n =55 DCLO and HRCT scan). Therefore, initial analyses focused on the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the FVC value from the PFTs to capture the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease as determined by HRCT.Overall, 49% of the patients had ILD determined by HRCT, with 60% of patients having normal FVC (>80%) with positive HRCT findings, and 24% of patients having normal DLCO (> 80%) with positive HRCT findings. Fourteen percent (n = 3/21) of patients with both FVC and DLCO values within the normal range had a positive HRCT finding.Conclusion:The sensitivity of the FVC in the JSScC cohort in detecting ILD was only 39%. Relying on PFTs alone for screening for ILD in juvenile systemic sclerosis would have missed the detection of ILD in almost 2/3 of the sample cohort, supporting the use of HRCT for detection of ILD in children with SSc. In addition, the cut off utilized, of less than 80% of predicted FVC or DLCO could be too low for pediatric patients to exclude beginning ILD. This pilot data needs confirmation in a larger patient population.Supported by the “Joachim Herz Stiftung”Disclosure of Interests:Ivan Foeldvari Consultant of: Novartis, Bernd Hinrichs: None declared, Kathryn Torok: None declared, Maria Jose Santos Speakers bureau: Novartis and Pfizer, Ozgur Kasapcopur: None declared, Amra Adrovic: None declared, Valda Stanevicha: None declared, Flávio R.

Abstract
One of the main objectives of the ANTARES telescope is the search for point-like neutrino sources. Both the pointing accuracy and the angular resolution of the detector are important in this context and a reliable way to evaluate this performance is needed. In order to measure the pointing accuracy of the detector, one possibility is to study the shadow of the Moon, i.e. the deficit of the atmospheric muon flux from the direction of the Moon induced by the absorption of cosmic rays. Analysing the data taken between 2007 and 2016, the Moon shadow is observed with 3.5 σ statistical significance. The detector angular resolution for downward-going muons is 0 . 73 ∘ ± 0 . 14 ∘ . The resulting pointing performance is consistent with the expectations. An independent check of the telescope pointing accuracy is realised with the data collected by a shower array detector onboard of a ship temporarily moving around the ANTARES location.

Abstract
A novel algorithm to reconstruct neutrino-induced particle showers within the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. The method achieves a median angular resolution of [Formula: see text] for shower energies below 100 TeV. Applying this algorithm to 6 years of data taken with the ANTARES detector, 8 events with reconstructed shower energies above 10 TeV are observed. This is consistent with the expectation of about 5 events from atmospheric backgrounds, but also compatible with diffuse astrophysical flux measurements by the IceCube collaboration, from which 2-4 additional events are expected. A [Formula: see text] C.L. upper limit on the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux with a value per neutrino flavour of [Formula: see text] is set, applicable to the energy range from 23 TeV to 7.8 PeV, assuming an unbroken [Formula: see text] spectrum and neutrino flavour equipartition at Earth.

Abstract
Despite dedicated research has been carried out to adequately map the distribution of the sperm whale in the Mediterranean Sea, unlike other regions of the world, the species population status is still presently uncertain. The analysis of two years of continuous acoustic data provided by the ANTARES neutrino telescope revealed the year-round presence of sperm whales in the Ligurian Sea, probably associated with the availability of cephalopods in the region. The presence of the Ligurian Sea sperm whales was demonstrated through the real-time analysis of audio data streamed from a cabled-to-shore deep-sea observatory that allowed the hourly tracking of their long-range echolocation behaviour on the Internet. Interestingly, the same acoustic analysis indicated that the occurrence of surface shipping noise would apparently not condition the foraging behaviour of the sperm whale in the area, since shipping noise was almost always present when sperm whales were acoustically detected. The continuous presence of the sperm whale in the region confirms the ecological value of the Ligurian sea and the importance of ANTARES to help monitoring its ecosystems.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of US-guided sacroiliac joint injection in the treatment of sacroiliitis in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was approved by the institutional review board and informed oral and written consent was obtained from the patients and their parents. In 13 patients (7 females and 6 males), 9 - 16 years (mean +/- std 11.39 +/-1.98), 18 sacroiliac joint (SI joint) injections were performed under US guidance. All patients suffered from severe sacroiliitis. US scanning was performed using a linear-array transducer operating at 5 - 18 MHz. Rating of the patients pain using a 0 - 10 dolorimetry scale on a visual analog score (VAS) was recorded before, immediately after and 3 months after injection to monitor severity and therapeutic response. RESULTS Injection could be performed in all patients without complication and showed good response immediately and 3 months after the injection with a decrease of the VAS (from mean +/- std 9.44 +/- 1.097 to 3.89 +/- 3.82, p < 0.001 and to 0.56 +/- 1.097, p < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION US-guided SI joint injection was feasible in all children, relatively quick and easy to perform and appeared effective in the treatment of children with sacroiliitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Madness served primarily as a form of amusement for the spectators in operas of the seventeenth century. This representation was far removed from clinical reality. This circumstance changed in the eighteenth century at the time when tragic madness emerged in numerous operas. MATERIAL AND METHODS The opera buffa Arcifanfano-Re dei matti (Arcifanfano-King of fools, premiered in 1749 in Venice, text by Carlo Goldoni 1707-1793 and music by Baldassare Galuppi 1706-1785), which continuously enacts a realm of fools and is meant to appear amusing, is riddled with psychopathological abnormalities for which a retrospective diagnosis is methodologically rejected. However, the opera presents many subjects for working out a typology of fools based on outlasting personality traits of the protagonists. The libretto is investigated. A musical analysis is spared. RESULTS The conceptualized typology of fools in the opera, which is oriented towards the seven main vices or deadly sins serves, in the tradition of moral satire, to critically hold up a mirror to the audience to reflect their own vices by an amusing characterization of the latter. Historically classified, the treatment of fools by means of isolation, custody, locking up in cages as well as authoritarian measures of submission reflects the custom in those days before humanizing the treatment of people with mental illness in the course of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. CONCLUSION The opera Arcifanfano is essentially characterized by continuous madness. A typology of the fools can be worked out from the precise depiction of the personalities. A mirror is held up to the spectators in terms of vices, in the tradition of the contemporary baroque opera. At the same time, the opera can be classified psychiatrically and historically as a seismograph of its time when in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries people with mental illness were isolated and incarcerated.

Abstract
A two-dimensional stigmatic x-ray imaging scheme, consisting of two spherically bent crystals, one concave and one convex, was recently proposed [M. Bitter et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 83, 10E527 (2012)]. The Bragg angles and the radii of curvature of the two crystals of this imaging scheme are matched to eliminate the astigmatism and to satisfy the Bragg condition across both crystal surfaces for a given x-ray energy. In this paper, we consider more general configurations of this imaging scheme, which allow us to vary the magnification for a given pair of crystals and x-ray energy. The stigmatic imaging scheme has been validated for the first time by imaging x-rays generated by a micro-focus x-ray source with source size of 8.4 μm validated by knife-edge measurements. Results are presented from imaging the tungsten Lα1 emission at 8.3976 keV, using a convex Si-422 crystal and a concave Si-533 crystal with 2d-spacings of 2.21707 Å and 1.65635 Å and radii of curvature of 500 ± 1 mm and 823 ± 1 mm, respectively, showing a spatial resolution of 54.9 μm. This imaging scheme is expected to be of interest for the two-dimensional imaging of laser produced plasmas.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the nutritional management of show jumping horses in practice with recommendations from the literature. Additionally, the effects of these feeding practices on several blood metabolic parameters before and after exercise were studied. Blood samples were collected in the field from 27 different horses at 71 trials on the level M1 to S2 show jumping competitions in Switzerland and questionnaires on feeding practice of the studied horses were evaluated. The questionnaires revealed that during training and on tournament days horses received on average 3.1 kg of concentrate per day (min. 2.0 kg, max. 6.6 kg) divided into two to three meals. The horses were fed on average 6.9 kg of roughage per day (min. 4.0 kg, max. 13.0 kg). Additionally, it was observed that the horses received the last meal on average 6 h 10 min (min. 1 h 50 min, max. 12 h 30 min) before the start of the first show jumping turn, respectively, 7 h 30 min (min 1 h 50 min, max. 13 h 0 min) before the second turn. Seven horses (35%) had access to hay waiting in the trailer between two turns. The statistical analysis revealed no significant influence of the concentrate feeding time point on lactate, triglyceride and insulin levels, but a significant influence on free fatty acids (FFA) and blood glucose concentrations. Roughage feeding of the show jumping horses 2-4 h prior to exercise revealed the most remarkable changes in blood parameters during the show jumping course. These results received under field conditions should be approved in future under standardized conditions.

Abstract
We report on results of an all-sky search for high-energy neutrino events interacting within the IceCube neutrino detector conducted between May 2010 and May 2012. The search follows up on the previous detection of two PeV neutrino events, with improved sensitivity and extended energy coverage down to about 30 TeV. Twenty-six additional events were observed, substantially more than expected from atmospheric backgrounds. Combined, both searches reject a purely atmospheric origin for the 28 events at the 4σ level. These 28 events, which include the highest energy neutrinos ever observed, have flavors, directions, and energies inconsistent with those expected from the atmospheric muon and neutrino backgrounds. These properties are, however, consistent with generic predictions for an additional component of extraterrestrial origin.

Abstract
We present the first statistically significant detection of neutrino oscillations in the high-energy regime (>20 GeV) from an analysis of IceCube Neutrino Observatory data collected in 2010 and 2011. This measurement is made possible by the low-energy threshold of the DeepCore detector (~20 GeV) and benefits from the use of the IceCube detector as a veto against cosmic-ray-induced muon background. The oscillation signal was detected within a low-energy muon neutrino sample (20-100 GeV) extracted from data collected by DeepCore. A high-energy muon neutrino sample (100 GeV-10 TeV) was extracted from IceCube data to constrain systematic uncertainties. The disappearance of low-energy upward-going muon neutrinos was observed, and the nonoscillation hypothesis is rejected with more than 5σ significance. In a two-neutrino flavor formalism, our data are best described by the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters |Δm(32)(2)|=(2.3(-0.5)(+0.6))×10(-3) eV(2) and sin(2)(2θ(23))>0.93, and maximum mixing is favored.

Abstract
We report on the observation of two neutrino-induced events which have an estimated deposited energy in the IceCube detector of 1.04±0.16 and 1.14±0.17 PeV, respectively, the highest neutrino energies observed so far. These events are consistent with fully contained particle showers induced by neutral-current ν(e,μ,τ) (ν(e,μ,τ)) or charged-current ν(e) (ν(e)) interactions within the IceCube detector. The events were discovered in a search for ultrahigh energy neutrinos using data corresponding to 615.9 days effective live time. The expected number of atmospheric background is 0.082±0.004(stat)(-0.057)(+0.041)(syst). The probability of observing two or more candidate events under the atmospheric background-only hypothesis is 2.9×10(-3) (2.8σ) taking into account the uncertainty on the expected number of background events. These two events could be a first indication of an astrophysical neutrino flux; the moderate significance, however, does not permit a definitive conclusion at this time.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the atmospheric electron neutrino flux in the energy range between approximately 80 GeV and 6 TeV, using data recorded during the first year of operation of IceCube's DeepCore low-energy extension. Techniques to identify neutrinos interacting within the DeepCore volume and veto muons originating outside the detector are demonstrated. A sample of 1029 events is observed in 281 days of data, of which 496±66(stat)±88(syst) are estimated to be cascade events, including both electron neutrino and neutral current events. The rest of the sample includes residual backgrounds due to atmospheric muons and charged current interactions of atmospheric muon neutrinos. The flux of the atmospheric electron neutrinos is consistent with models of atmospheric neutrinos in this energy range. This constitutes the first observation of electron neutrinos and neutral current interactions in a very large volume neutrino telescope optimized for the TeV energy range.

Abstract
We have performed a search for muon neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the center of the Sun with the 79-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino telescope. For the first time, the DeepCore subarray is included in the analysis, lowering the energy threshold and extending the search to the austral summer. The 317 days of data collected between June 2010 and May 2011 are consistent with the expected background from atmospheric muons and neutrinos. Upper limits are set on the dark matter annihilation rate, with conversions to limits on spin-dependent and spin-independent scattering cross sections of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) on protons, for WIMP masses in the range 20-5000 GeV/c2. These are the most stringent spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross section limits to date above 35 GeV/c2 for most WIMP models.

Abstract
This paper describes a new x-ray scheme for stigmatic imaging. The scheme consists of one convex spherically bent crystal and one concave spherically bent crystal. The radii of curvature and Bragg reflecting lattice planes of the two crystals are properly matched to eliminate the astigmatism, so that the conditions for stigmatic imaging are met for a particular wavelength. The magnification is adjustable and solely a function of the two Bragg angles or angles of incidence. Although the choice of Bragg angles is constrained by the availability of crystals, this is not a severe limitation for the imaging of plasmas, since a particular wavelength can be selected from the bremsstrahlung continuum. The working principle of this imaging scheme has been verified with visible light. Further tests with x rays are planned for the near future.

Abstract
Conducting atomic force microscopy is an attractive approach enabling the correlation of mechanical and electrical properties in individual molecular junctions. Here we report on measurements of gold-gold and gold-octanedithiol-gold junctions. We introduce two-dimensional histograms in the form of scatter plots to better analyze the correlation between force and conductance. In this representation, the junction-forming octanedithiol compounds lead to a very clear step in the force-conductance data, which is not observed for control monothiol compounds. The conductance found for octanedithiols is in agreement with the idea that junction conductance is dominated by a single molecule.

Abstract
This study aims at the comparison of the actual feeding of horses with the recommendations from the literature, and it studies the effects of feeding and exercise on several blood metabolic parameters before and after exercise. Blood samples were collected from 25 horses during one-star eventing competitions and evaluated for blood glucose, insulin, lactate, free fatty acids and triglyceride levels. Questionnaires on the feeding practices of the horses were evaluated. The questionnaires revealed that during training, and on tournament days, horses received on average 4.3 kg of concentrate per day (min. 1.54 kg, max. 8 kg). The statistical analysis showed no significant effect of the amount of concentrate fed before exercise on the measured blood values. Oil was supplied as a supplementary energy source to 30% of the horses, but most of them only received very small quantities (0.02-0.4 l/day). Five horses (20%) had no access to salt supplements at all, and eleven horses (45%) had no access to salt on tournament days. Fifteen horses (60%) were supplied with mineral feed. Twenty-one horses (84%) had daily access to pasture during the training period. During competition, 55% of the horses received roughage ad libitum, compared with 37% during training. The majority of the horses received less roughage on days before the cross-country competition. It could not be ascertained whether feeding a large amounts of roughage had a beneficial effect on performance, because only a few horses in this study were fed with very restrictive roughage. Feeding of most of the horses was in agreement with the recommendations from the literature, except the need for sodium and chloride. The sodium and chloride need for sport horses may be overestimated in literature and needs to be re-evaluated.

Abstract
Emerging infectious diseases are a significant threat to global biodiversity. While historically overlooked, a group of iridoviruses in the genus Ranavirus has been responsible for die-offs in captive and wild amphibian, reptile and fish populations around the globe over the past two decades. In order to share contemporary information on ranaviruses and identify critical research directions, the First International Symposium on Ranaviruses was held in July 2011 in Minneapolis, MN, USA. Twenty-three scientists and veterinarians from nine countries examined the ecology and evolution of ranavirus-host interactions, potential reservoirs, transmission dynamics, as well as immunological and histopathological responses to infection. In addition, speakers discussed possible mechanisms for die-offs, and conservation strategies to control outbreaks.

Abstract
Thymic epithelial space (TES), where thymopoiesis is located, and thymic perivascular space (PVS), where T lymphocytes are pooled, appear differentially involved in human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1)-infected children. The decline of CD4+ T cells during HIV-1 infection is probably due to a relative predominance of CD4+ T cell destruction on cell proliferation. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) typically increases circulating CD4+ T cell counts, but it is debated whether ART reduces the destruction of existing CD4+ T cells or enhances the production of new cells. We report on postmortem flow-cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and terminal deoxynucleotide transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) studies performed on thymus of an 11-year-old vertically HIV-1 infected child receiving ART. Thymus tissue sections showed that CD4+ and CD8+ cells were more numerous in PVS than in TES (p=0.0334 for CD4+ cells, p<0.0001 for CD8+ cells). Thymus cell suspension showed that CD4+ CD8+ cells (immature thymocytes) were 15.4% (age-related control: 80.5%). Very few apoptotic CD4+ cells were seen in TES. Very low to absent proliferation activity was demonstrated in both TES and PVS. We suggest that 1) lymphocyte depletion in HIV-1 infection is more pronounced in TES than in PVS, 2) immature thymocytes are not enhanced, and 3) an anti-apoptotic effect in the thymus seems to be a potential ART mechanism to explain the CD4+ pool increase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE While there are evidence-based recommendations for the initial combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) of HIV infection, there are no comparative studies on long-term efficacy of different second-line strategies after initial virological failure. The aim of this study was to compare different second-line strategies after virological failure of an initial protease inhibitor (PI) based regimen, specifically the comparison between change to a different PI and class change to a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). PATIENTS AND METHODS This cohort study retrospectively analyzed patient data documented for the Clinical Surveillance of HIV Disease project (ClinSurv) between 1999 and 2008, run by the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, Germany. Follow-up data for at least three months of a treatment switch after virological failure of the first-line regimen were available for 157 patients out of the 14,377 patients in the ClinSurv cohort. Eighty-four (54%) of these had a PI-based first-line regimen and were therefore included into the analysis. Fifty-one (61%) of the 84 patients were switched to a different PI (group 1), 33 (39%) to a NNRTI (group 2). Primary end points were the probability of virological failure of the second-line regimen, the duration of a successful second-line regimen and the time to suppression of viral load below the level of detectability. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the median time to virological suppression with 88 days in group 1 and 57 days in group 2 (p = 0.16). After > 3,000 days more than 50% of patients in group 2 (class switch to NNRTI) were still on an effective regimen, their risk of virologic failure thus was significantly lower than in group 1 (switch to a different PI), where the median duration of second-line therapy was only 581 days. Multivariate Cox regression analysis did not identify any of the available covariates as significant predictors of duration of the second-line treatment or as confounders. For group 1, with patients switching within the PI class, there was a more than two-fold risk of virological failure during the time of observation (HR = 2.3; 95%CI 1.1 - 4.9; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Class switch to a NNRTI as opposed to changing to a different PI following virological failure of a PI-based first-line regimen is associated with significantly better durability of the second-line regimen.
