Abstract
Background For individuals who are eligible but unlikely to join comprehensive weight loss programs, a low burden self-weighing intervention may be a more acceptable approach to weight management. Methods This was a single-arm feasibility trial of a 12-month self-weighing intervention. Participants were healthcare patients with a BMI ≥25 kg/m2 with a weight-related comorbidity or a BMI >30 kg/m2 who reported lack of interest in joining a comprehensive weight loss program, or did not enroll in a comprehensive program after being provided program information. In the self-weighing intervention, participants were asked to weigh themselves daily on a cellular connected scale and were sent text messages every other week with tailored weight change feedback, including messages encouraging use of comprehensive programs if weight gain occurred. Results Of 86 eligible patients, 39 enrolled (45.3%) in the self-weighing intervention. Self-weighing occurred on average 4.6 days/week (SD = 1.4). At 12 months, 12 participants (30.8%) lost ≥3% baseline weight, 11 (28.2%) experienced weight stability (±3% baseline), 6 (15.4%) gained ≥3% of baseline weight, and 10 (25.6%) did not have available weight data to evaluate. Three participants reported joining a weight loss program during the intervention (7.7%). Participants reported high intervention satisfaction in quantitative ratings (4.1 of 5), and qualitative interviews identified areas of satisfaction (e.g., timing and content of text messages) and areas for improvement (e.g., increasing personalization of text messages). Conclusion A low-burden self-weighing intervention can reach adults with overweight/obesity who would be unlikely to engage in comprehensive weight loss programs; the efficacy of this intervention for preventing weight gain should be further evaluated in a randomized trial.

Abstract
Portable genomic sequencers such as Oxford Nanopore's MinION enable real-time applications in both clinical and environmental health, e.g., detection of bacterial outbreaks. However, there is a bottleneck in the downstream analytics when bioinformatics pipelines are unavailable, e.g., when cloud processing is unreachable due to absence of Internet connection, or only low-end computing devices can be carried on site. For instance, metagenomics classifiers usually require a large amount of memory or specific operating systems/libraries. In this work, we present a platform-friendly software for portable metagenomic analysis of Nanopore data, the Oligomer-based Classifier of Taxonomic Operational and Pan-genome Units via Singletons (OCTOPUS). OCTOPUS is written in Java, reimplements several features of the popular Kraken2 and KrakenUniq software, with original components for improving metagenomics classification on incomplete/sampled reference databases (e.g., selection of bacteria of public health priority), making it ideal for running on smartphones or tablets. We indexed both OCTOPUS and Kraken2 on a bacterial database with ~4,000 reference genomes, then simulated a positive (bacterial genomes from the same species, but different genomes) and two negative (viral, mammalian) Nanopore test sets. On the bacterial test set OCTOPUS yielded sensitivity and precision comparable to Kraken2 (94.4% and 99.8% versus 94.5% and 99.1%, respectively). On non-bacterial sequences (mammals and viral), OCTOPUS dramatically decreased (4- to 16-fold) the false positive rate when compared to Kraken2 (2.1% and 0.7% versus 8.2% and 11.2%, respectively). We also developed customized databases including viruses, and the World Health Organization's set of bacteria of concern for drug resistance, tested with real Nanopore data on an Android smartphone. OCTOPUS is publicly available at https://github.com/DataIntellSystLab/OCTOPUS and https://github.com/Ruiz-HCI-Lab/OctopusMobile.

Abstract
Using prosthetic devices requires a substantial cognitive workload. This study investigated classification models for assessing cognitive workload in electromyography (EMG)-based prosthetic devices with various types of input features including eye-tracking measures, task performance, and cognitive performance model (CPM) outcomes. Features selection algorithm, hyperparameter tuning with grid search, and k-fold cross-validation were applied to select the most important features and find the optimal models. Classification accuracy, the area under the receiver operation characteristic curve (AUC), precision, recall, and F1 scores were calculated to compare the models' performance. The findings suggested that task performance measures, pupillometry data, and CPM outcomes, combined with the naïve bayes (NB) and random forest (RF) algorithms, are most promising for classifying cognitive workload. The proposed algorithms can help manufacturers/clinicians predict the cognitive workload of future EMG-based prosthetic devices in early design phases.Practitioner summary: This study investigated the use of machine learning algorithms for classifying the cognitive workload of prosthetic devices. The findings suggested that the models could predict workload with high accuracy and low computational cost and could be used in assessing the usability of prosthetic devices in the early phases of the design process.Abbreviations: 3d: 3 dimensional; ADL: Activities for daily living; ANN: Artificial neural network; AUC: Area under the receiver operation characteristic curve; CC: Continuous control; CPM: Cognitive performance model; CPM-GOMS: Cognitive-Perceptual-Motor GOMS; CRT: Clothespin relocation test; CV: Cross validation; CW: Cognitive workload; DC: Direct control; DOF: Degrees of freedom; ECRL: Extensor carpi radialis longus; ED: Extensor digitorum; EEG: Electroencephalogram; EMG: Electromyography; FCR: Flexor carpi radialis; FD: Flexor digitorum; GOMS: Goals, Operations, Methods, and Selection Rules; LDA: Linear discriminant analysis; MAV: Mean absolute value; MCP: Metacarpophalangeal; ML: Machine learning; NASA-TLX: NASA task load index; NB: Naïve Bayes; PCPS: Percent change in pupil size; PPT: Purdue Pegboard Test; PR: Pattern recognition; PROS-TLX: Prosthesis task load index; RF: Random forest; RFE: Recursive feature selection; SHAP: Southampton hand assessment protocol; SFS: Sequential feature selection; SVC: Support vector classifier.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a predictive algorithm of "high-risk" periods for weight regain after weight loss. METHODS Longitudinal mixed-effects models and random forest regression were used to select predictors and develop an algorithm to predict weight regain on a week-to-week basis, using weekly questionnaire and self-monitoring data (including daily e-scale data) collected over 40 weeks from 46 adults who lost ≥5% of baseline weight during an initial 12-week intervention (Study 1). The algorithm was evaluated in 22 adults who completed the same Study 1 intervention but lost <5% of baseline weight and in 30 adults recruited for a separate 30-week study (Study 2). RESULTS The final algorithm retained the frequency of self-monitoring caloric intake and weight plus self-report ratings of hunger and the importance of weight-management goals compared with competing life demands. In the initial training data set, the algorithm predicted weight regain the following week with a sensitivity of 75.6% and a specificity of 45.8%; performance was similar (sensitivity: 81%-82%, specificity: 30%-33%) in testing data sets. CONCLUSIONS Weight regain can be predicted on a proximal, week-to-week level. Future work should investigate the clinical utility of adaptive interventions for weight-loss maintenance and develop more sophisticated predictive models of weight regain.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Biomarkers for oligometastatic disease remain elusive and few studies have attempted to correlate genomic data to the presence of true oligometastatic disease. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases were identified in our departmental database. Electronic medical records were used to identify patients for whom liquid biopsy-based comprehensive genomic profiling (Guardant Health) was available. Oligometastatic disease was defined as patients having ≤5 non-brain metastases without diffuse involvement of a single organ. Widespread disease was any spread beyond oligometastatic. Fisher's exact tests were used to identify mutations statistically associated (p<0.1) with either oligometastatic or widespread extracranial disease. A score of +1 was assigned for every mutation present associated with oligometastatic disease, and -1 was assigned for mutations associated with widespread disease. Scores were summed for each patient to create a risk score for the likelihood of oligometastatic disease, with scores subsequently correlated to the likelihood of having oligometastatic disease vs widespread disease. For oligometastatic patients, a competing risk analysis was done to assess for cumulative incidence of oligometastatic progression accounting for the potential competing risks of widespread progression of extracranial disease or death. Cox regression was used to determine the association between oligometastatic risk score and oligometastatic progression. RESULTS One hundred thirty patients met study criteria and were included in the analysis. 51 patients (39%) had oligometastatic disease. Genetic mutations included in the Guardant panel associated (p<0.1) with the presence of oligometastatic extracranial disease included ATM, JAK2, MAP2K2, and NTRK1; ARID1A and CCNE1 were associated with widespread disease. Patients with a positive, neutral and negative risk score for oligometastatic disease had a 78%, 41% and 11.5% likelihood of having oligometastatic disease, respectively (p<0.0001). Overall survival for patients with positive, neutral and negative risk scores for oligometastatic disease was 86% vs 82% vs 64% at 6 months (p = 0.2). The competing risk analysis found that the oligometastatic risk score was significantly associated with the likelihood of oligometastatic progression based on the Wald Chi-square test. Patients with positive, neutral and negative risk scores for oligometastatic disease had a cumulative incidence of oligometastatic progression of 77% vs 35% vs 33% at 6 months (p = 0.03 from competing risk model). CONCLUSION Elucidation of a genomic signature for oligometastatic disease derived from non-invasive liquid biopsy appears feasible for NSCLC patients. Patients with the oligometastatic signature exhibited higher rates of early oligometastatic progression. Validation of this signature could lead to a biomarker that has the potential to direct local therapies in oligometastatic patients.

Abstract
This study analysed the mechanisms of quinolone resistance among enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in a periurban area of Lima, Peru. The susceptibility to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin, the role of Phe-Arg-b-Naphtylamyde inhibitable-(PAbN) efflux pumps, the presence of mutations in gyrA and parC as well as the presence of aac(6')Ib-cr, qepA, qnrA, qnrB, qnrC, qnrD, qnrVC and oqxAB were determined in 31 ETEC from previous case/control studies of children's diarrhoea. Discordances between disk diffusion, with all isolates showing intermediate or fully resistance to nalidixic acid, and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), with 7 isolates being below considered resistance breakpoint, were observed. Twenty-one isolates possessed gyrA mutations (19 S83L, 2 S83A). AAC(6') Ib-cr, QnrS, QnrB and QepA were found in 7, 6, 2 and 1 isolates respectively, with 3 isolates presenting 2 transferable mechanisms of quinolone resistance (TMQR) concomitantly. TMQR were more frequent among isolates with MIC to nalidixic acid ranging from 2 to 16 mg/L (p=0.03), while gyrA mutations were more frequent among isolates with nalidixic acid MIC >= 128 mg/L (p=0.0002). In summary, the mechanisms of quinolone resistance present in ETEC isolates in Peru have been described. Differences in the prevalence of underlying mechanisms associated with final MIC levels were observed. The results suggest two different evolutive strategies to survive in the presence of quinolones related to specific bacterial genetic background.

Abstract
Situational awareness is the perception and understanding of the surrounding environment. Maintaining situational awareness is vital for performance and error prevention in safety critical domains. Prior work has examined applying augmented reality (AR) to the context of improving situational awareness, but has mainly focused on the applicability of using AR rather than on information design. Hence, there is a need to investigate how to design the presentation of information, especially in AR headsets, to increase users' situational awareness. We conducted a Systematic Literature Review to research how information is currently presented in AR, especially in systems that are being utilized for situational awareness. Comparing current presentations of information to existing design recommendations aided in identifying future areas of design. In addition, this survey further discusses opportunities and challenges in applying AR to increasing users' situational awareness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for the treatment of hematologic diseases is steadily increasing. However, allo-SCT has the downside of causing considerable treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Mobile technology applied to healthcare (mHealth) has proven to be a cost-effective strategy to improve care and offer new services to people with multimorbidity, but there are few data on its usefulness in allo-SCT recipients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this report was to describe a new integrated healthcare model facilitated by an mHealth platform, named EMMASalud-MY-Medula, and to report the results of a le. STUDY DESIGN The MY-Medula platform development approach consisted of 4 phases. Firstly, patient and healthcare professional needs were identified and technological development and pre-testing tests were conducted (phases 1-3, January 2016-March 2021). Then, a non-randomized, prospective, observational, single-center pilot study was conducted (October 2021-January 2022) at the adult Stem Cell Transplant Unit of a tertiary university hospital. RESULTS Twenty-eight volunteer allo-SCT recipients were included in the pilot study. Fifty percent were outpatients in the first-year post-SCT and the remaining 50% were affected by steroid-dependent graft-versus-host disease (SR-GVHD). All patients used MY-Medula application during the two-month follow-up period with a median number of visits to the application of 143 (range 6-477). A total of 2067 self-monitoring records were made, and 205 text messages were received, most of them related to symptoms description (47%) and doubts about medication (21%). In 3.4% of the cases drug dose adjustments were performed by the pharmacist because of dosing errors or interactions. At the end of the study, a 6-question Likert-type questionnaire for patients and a 22-question test for healthcare professionals showed a high degree of satisfaction (95% and 100% respectively) with the new healthcare pathway. CONCLUSIONS Re-engineering allo-SCT recipients follow-up into an integrated, multidisciplinary model of care facilitated by mHealth tools is feasible and has been associated with a high usability and degree of satisfaction by patients and healthcare professionals. A randomized trial aiming to determine the cost-effectiveness of MY-Medula-based follow-up post-SCT is currently enrolling participants.

Abstract
Horizontal gene transfer mediated by conjugation is considered an important evolutionary mechanism of bacteria. It allows organisms to quickly evolve new phenotypic properties including antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence. The frequency of conjugation-mediated cargo gene exchange has not yet been comprehensively studied within and between bacterial taxa. We developed a frequency-based network of genus-genus conjugation features and candidate cargo genes from whole-genome sequence data of over 180,000 bacterial genomes, representing 1,345 genera. Using our method, which we refer to as ggMOB, we revealed that over half of the bacterial genomes contained one or more known conjugation features that matched exactly to at least one other genome. Moreover, the proportion of genomes containing these conjugation features varied substantially by genus and conjugation feature. These results and the genus-level network structure can be viewed interactively in the ggMOB interface, which allows for user-defined filtering of conjugation features and candidate cargo genes. Using the network data, we observed that the ratio of AMR gene representation in conjugative versus non-conjugative genomes exceeded 5:1, confirming that conjugation is a critical force for AMR spread across genera. Finally, we demonstrated that clustering genomes by conjugation profile sometimes correlated well with classical phylogenetic structuring; but that in some cases the clustering was highly discordant, suggesting that the importance of the accessory genome in driving bacterial evolution may be highly variable across both time and taxonomy. These results can advance scientific understanding of bacterial evolution, and can be used as a starting point for probing genus-genus gene exchange within complex microbial communities that include unculturable bacteria. ggMOB is publicly available under the GNU licence at https://ruiz-hci-lab.github.io/ggMOB/.

Abstract
Nanopore technology enables portable, real-time sequencing of microbial populations from clinical and ecological samples. An emerging healthcare application for Nanopore includes point-of-care, timely identification of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to help developing targeted treatments of bacterial infections, and monitoring resistant outbreaks in the environment. While several computational tools exist for classifying ARGs from sequencing data, to date (2022) none have been developed for mobile devices. We present here KARGAMobile, a mobile app for portable, real-time, easily interpretable analysis of ARGs from Nanopore sequencing. KARGAMobile is the porting of an existing ARG identification tool named KARGA; it retains the same algorithmic structure, but it is optimized for mobile devices. Specifically, KARGAMobile employs a compressed ARG reference database and different internal data structures to save RAM usage. The KARGAMobile app features a friendly graphical user interface that guides through file browsing, loading, parameter setup, and process execution. More importantly, the output files are post-processed to create visual, printable and shareable reports, aiding users to interpret the ARG findings. The difference in classification performance between KARGAMobile and KARGA is minimal (96.2% vs. 96.9% f-measure on semi-synthetic datasets of 1 million reads with known resistance ground truth). Using real Nanopore experiments, KARGAMobile processes on average 1 GB data every 23-48 min (targeted sequencing - metagenomics), with peak RAM usage below 500MB, independently from input file sizes, and an average temperature of 49°C after 1 h of continuous data processing. KARGAMobile is written in Java and is available at https://github.com/Ruiz-HCI-Lab/KargaMobile under the MIT license.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION HIV is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). There is insufficient information regarding comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors in the Colombian HIV population. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities in patients from the HIV Colombian Group VIHCOL. METHODS This is a multicenter, cross-sectional study conducted in the VIHCOL network in Colombia. Patients 18 years or older who had at least 6 months of follow-up were included. A stratified random sampling was performed to estimate the adjusted prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities. RESULTS A total of 1616 patients were included. 83.2% were men, and the median age was 34 years. The adjusted prevalence for dyslipidemia, active tobacco use, hypothyroidism, and arterial hypertension was 51.2% (99% CI: 48.0%-54.4%), 7.6% (99% CI: 5.9%-9.3%), 7.4% (99% CI: 5.7%-9.1%), and 6.3% (99% CI: 4.8%-7.9%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this Colombian HIV cohort, there is a high prevalence of modifiable CVD risk factors such as dyslipidemia and active smoking. Non-pharmacological and pharmacological measures for the prevention and management of these risk factors should be reinforced.

Abstract
The morphological quality and the in vitro developmental competence of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) collected from in vivo or slaughtered alpacas was compared. COCs were recovered from ovarian follicles using: (i) manual aspiration in ovaries of alpacas (n = 15) sacrificed at a local slaughterhouse, or (ii) transrectal ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration (or ovum-pick-up, OPU) in live alpacas (n = 13) 4 days after the administration of an ovarian superstimulation protocol (200 UI eCG). COCs recovered from both groups were morphologically evaluated and graded. Grade I to III COCs were in vitro matured for 26 h and in vitro fertilized afterwards for 20 h using fresh alpaca epididymal spermatozoa. Presumptive zygotes from both groups were in vitro cultured for 7 days. The proportion of COCs recovered over the total number of follicles punctured was similar between groups, but the mean number of COCs collected from individual ovaries was greater (p < 0.05) in slaughterhouse ovaries. A significantly higher (p < 0.05) percentage of low-quality COCs (grades III and IV) and a lower (p < 0.05) percentage of grade I COCs was obtained using OPU. The number of blastocysts, regarding cleavage and COCs collected, was higher (p < 0.007 and p < 0.0002 respectively) for COCs collected by OPU; however, the total number of blastocysts per female did not differ between groups. We can conclude that the recovery rate and morphological quality of COCs was significantly higher when follicles were manually aspirated from slaughterhouse alpaca ovaries; however, a statistically higher developmental potential was observed in oocytes collected by OPU from live alpaca donors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated whether the transition of a face-to-face behavioral intervention to videoconferencing-based telehealth delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significantly smaller weight losses than those typically observed in gold-standard, face-to-face programs. METHODS Participants were 160 adults with obesity (mean [SD] age = 49.2 [11.9] years, BMI = 36.1 [4.2] kg/m2 ) enrolled in two cohorts of a 16-week comprehensive weight-management program. Cohort 1 began in person and transitioned to telehealth (Zoom) delivery during week 11 of the intervention because of COVID-19; Cohort 2 was conducted completely remotely. A noninferiority approach (using a clinically relevant noninferiority margin of 2.5%) was used to assess whether the weight losses observed were inferior to the 8% losses from baseline typically produced by gold-standard, face-to-face lifestyle interventions. RESULTS From baseline to postintervention, participants lost an average of 7.4 [4.9] kg, representing a reduction of 7.2% [4.6%]. This magnitude of weight change was significantly greater than 5.5% (t[159] = 4.7, p < 0.001), and, thus, was within the proposed noninferiority margin. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that the results of behavioral weight-management interventions are robust, whether delivered in person or remotely, and that individuals can achieve clinically meaningful benefits from behavioral treatment even during a global pandemic. Pragmatic "lessons learned," including modified trial recruitment techniques, are discussed.

Abstract
The study was developed at the Pampa del Arco Experimental Center of the National University of San Cristóbal de Huamanga, the objective was to evaluate doses of 800 IU (T1) and doses of 1000 IU (T2) of eCG to obtain embryos. Eight adult female llamas were used, distributed four in each treatment (T1 and T2), with a body condition of 2.5, these were evaluated by ultrasound with a 7.5 MHz rectal linear transducer. Hormonal treatments began when the animals had a follicle> 7 mm. The application of eCG was 72 hours after the induction of ovulation of the dominant follicle with GnRH, on day 7 PGF2α was applied, natural mounting was performed plus GnRH (1ml), on day 15 the collection and evaluation of embryos was performed. The results obtained were the pre-ovarian stimulation follicular diameter of 8.3 mm and 9.1 mm for T1 and T2 respectively, the number of pre-ovulatory follicles was 6.33 and 5.50 for T1 and T2 respectively, the diameter of follicles pre-ovulatory was 11.2mm and 10.6 mm for T1 and T2 respectively, average of embryos recovered per donor was 4.66 ± 0.81 and 3.50 ± 0.54 embryos for T1 and T2 respectively, with a significant difference (p <0.05) and the quality of embryos had 35.7% and 38.1% of embryos of excellent quality, 28.6% and 33.3% of good quality, 10.7% and 9 , 5% of regular quality, 10.7% and 0% of poor quality, for T1 and T2 respectively and 14.3% and 19.0% of non-transferable embryos for T1 and T2 respectively, with no statistical difference (p≥0, 05). It is concluded that the number of embryos recovered with a dose of 800 IU of eCG is higher compared to the dose of 1000 IU of eCG (p <0.05) and that there is no association between the applied dose of eCG and the quality of the llama embryos (p≥0.05)

Abstract
The promising field of nanomedicine stimulates a continuous search for multifunctional nanotheranostic systems for imaging and drug delivery. Herein, we demonstrate that application of supramolecular chemistry's concepts in dendritic assemblies can enable the formation of advanced dendrimer-based nanotheranostic devices. A dendrimer bearing 81 triazolylferrocenyl terminal groups adopts a more compact shell-like structure in polar solvents with the ferrocenyl peripheral groups backfolding toward the hydrophobic dendrimer interior, while exposing the more polar triazole moieties as the dendritic shell. Akin to lipids, the compact dendritic structure self-assembles into uniform nanovesicles that in turn self-assemble into larger vesosomes in water. The vesosomes emit green nontraditional intrinsic fluorescence (NTIL), which is an emerging property as there are no classical fluorophores in the dendritic macromolecular structure. This work confirms the hypothesis that the NTIL emission is greatly enhanced by rigidification of the supramolecular assemblies containing heteroatomic subluminophores (HASLs) and by the presence of electron rich functional groups on the periphery of dendrimers. This work is the first one detecting NTIL in ferrocenyl-terminated dendrimers. Moreover, the vesosomes are stable in biological medium, are uptaken by cells, and show cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. Accordingly, the self-organization of these dendrimers into tertiary structures promotes the emergence of new properties enabling the same component, in this case, ferrocenyl group, to function as both antitumoral drug and fluorophore.

Abstract
The first all-metallocene rechargeable battery consisting of poly-cobaltocenium/- and poly-ferrocene/reduced graphene oxide composites as anode and cathode was prepared. The intrinsically fast ET self-exchange rate of metallocenes was successfully combined with an efficient ion-percolation achieved by molecular self-assembly. The resulting battery materials show ideal Nernstian behavior, is thickness scalable up to >1.2 C cm-2 , and exhibit high coulombic efficiency at ultrafast rates (200 A g-1 ). Using aqueous LiClO4 , the charge is carried exclusively by the anion. The ClO4 - intercalation is accompanied by a reciprocal height change of the active layers. Principally, volume changes in organic battery materials during charging/discharging are not desirable and represent a major safety issue. However, here, the individual height changes-due to ion breathing-are reciprocal and thus prohibiting any internal pressure build-up in the closed-cell, leading to excellent cycling stability.

Abstract
Introduction SARS-CoV-2, responsible for COVID-19, is a pandemic that has taken the world by storm. We present the only contemporary reported case of COVID-19 myocarditis leading to recovery with utilization of biventricular impella for temporary mechanical circulatory support. No cases have been reported regarding utilization of Bi-V impella as therapy for management of SARS-CoV-2.. Case Report We present a 35 year old-woman with history of systemic sclerosis who was found to have 5 days of generalized malaise associated with fevers and cough. On arrival she was found tachycardic at 112 bpm and febrile 101.8 F. She tested positive for COVID-19 via nasal CPR. Cardiac enzymes were found elevated on admission with troponin T elevated at 0.28. On day two of hospitalization patient had spontaneous PEA arrest secondary to hypoxemia. Transthoracic echocardiogram(TTE) revealed EF <10% and RV impairment which compare to prior which had normal ejection fraction. Labs showed elevated lactic acidosis of 10. Invasive hemodynamics assessment RA 21 mmHg, PA 32/23(mean 26 mmHg) and PCWP 18 mmHg. Calculated PAPi 0.76, CO 2.1 L/min and CI of 1.2 L/min/m^2. Decision was made to place right and left sided ventricular impellas for mechanical circulatory support. She was started on IVIG for COVID-19 myocarditis along with remdesivir and solumedrol. After two weeks of continuous temporary mechanical circulatory support(TMCS), patient hemodynamics improved and she was able to be weaned from her need for TMCS. Repeat echocardiogram demonstrated recovery and remodeling with an LVEF of 60% and no significant valvular disease. She was discharge home at day 23 with no neurological deficit. Summary The use of biventricular continuous microaxial flow devices during acute COVID-19 myocarditis is key to allow ventricular rest and optimal offloading without the increased risk of surgically placed TMCS such as Centrimag or VA or VV ECMO. With recent emergency use by the FDA, its wide adaptation remains sparse. Our case demonstrates a unique approach to management of COVID-19 myocarditis. It is the only reported case in the literature utilizing biventricular Impella devices for circulatory support without the concurrent use of ECMO. Due to the success in this patient, this promising approach warrants continued investigation in the management of COVID myocarditis and cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Despite considerable efforts, the properties that drive the cytotoxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) remain poorly understood. Here, the authors inverstigate a panel of 31 ENMs with different core chemistries and a variety of surface modifications using conventional in vitro assays coupled with omics-based approaches. Cytotoxicity screening and multiplex-based cytokine profiling reveals a good concordance between primary human monocyte-derived macrophages and the human monocyte-like cell line THP-1. Proteomics analysis following a low-dose exposure of cells suggests a nonspecific stress response to ENMs, while microarray-based profiling reveals significant changes in gene expression as a function of both surface modification and core chemistry. Pathway analysis highlights that the ENMs with cationic surfaces that are shown to elicit cytotoxicity downregulated DNA replication and cell cycle responses, while inflammatory responses are upregulated. These findings are validated using cell-based assays. Notably, certain small, PEGylated ENMs are found to be noncytotoxic yet they induce transcriptional responses reminiscent of viruses. In sum, using a multiparametric approach, it is shown that surface chemistry is a key determinant of cellular responses to ENMs. The data also reveal that cytotoxicity, determined by conventional in vitro assays, does not necessarily correlate with transcriptional effects of ENMs.

Abstract
Ferrocene-containing polymers have been investigated for more than six decades, and more recently modern synthetic methods have allowed the fabrication of precise polymers that contain a variety of transition-metal complexes. Trends are now oriented towards applications, such as optics, energy conversion and storage, electrochemistry, magnetics, electric conductors and biomedicine. Metal-sandwich complexes such as those of ferrocene type and other related complexes that present redox-robust groups in polymers, i.e. that are isolable in both their oxidized and reduced forms, are of particular interest, because it is possible to address them using electronic or photonic redox stimuli for application. Our research groups have called such complexes Electron-Reservoirs and introduced them in the main chain or in the side chains of well-defined polymers. For instance, polymers with ferrocene in the main chain or in the side chain are oxidized to stable polycationic polyelectrolytes only if ferrocene is part of a biferrocene unit, because biferrocene oxidation leads to the biferrocenium cation that is stabilized by the mixed valency. Then a group of several redox-robust iron sandwich complexes were fabricated and incorporated in precise polymers including multi-block copolymers whose controlled synthesis and block incorporation was achieved for instance using ring-opening-metathesis polymerization. Applications of this family of Electron-Reservoir-containing polymers includes electrochemically induced derivatization of electrodes by decorating them with these polymers, molecular recognition and redox sensing, electrochromics with multiple colours, generation of gold and silver nanoparticles of various size by reduction of gold(iii) and silver(i) precursors and their use for nanocatalysis towards depollution and biomedicine.

Abstract
Background The Study for Monitoring Antimicrobial Resistance Trends (SMART) is a worldwide initiative to monitor in vitro susceptibility of clinical Gram-negative isolates to several antimicrobial agents. Surveillance initiatives are essential to provide real-world evidence to support local guidelines development. Colombia has participated since 2012 with isolates from complicated intrabdominal infections (cIAI), complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) and respiratory tract infections (RTI). This study describes resistant patterns of Escherichia coli (Eco), Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pae) clinical isolates collected in Colombian hospitals in a 2 years period (2017–2018). Methods Isolates from patients with cIAI, cUTI and RTI were collected. Identification confirmation was done in central laboratory. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were performed by broth microdilution and interpreted according to 2018 CLSI guidelines, same criteria for Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) classification. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated for aztreonam (ATM), ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T), ceftazidime (CAZ), colistin (COL), ertapenem (ETP), cefepime (FEP), imipenem (IMP), meropenem (MEM) and piperacillin–tazobactam (TZP). Results During 2017–2018, 1492 isolates were collected. The main organism was Eco (51%) followed by Kpn (29%) and Pae (20%). In vitro susceptibility activity is presented in Table 1. COL, C/T, ETP, MEM and IPM exhibited over 95% susceptibility in Eco. ESBL prevalence was 18% for Eco (53/314) and 22% for Kpn (36/165). COL and C/T were the most active agents against Pae isolates. For Kpn, MIC50/90 values were: MEM (0.12 / 8), C/T (0.5 / 8) and for TZP (8 / > 64), meanwhile for Pae were MEM (0.5 / 32), C/T (0.5 / 32) and for TZP (8 / > 64). Conclusion Continued antimicrobial resistance surveillance initiatives are critical to guide the empiric treatments decision in a multidrug resistance era. This study shows that Ceftolozane/Tazobactam, MEM and COL have the best susceptibility profile against Eco, Kpn and Pae of cIAI, cUTI and RTI cases in Colombia. The C/T susceptibility rates and low MIC distribution provide evidence to support its use as a non-carbapenem therapeutic alternative for Gram-negative infections. ![]()

Abstract
Background In Colombia, clinical characteristics related to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and circulating pneumococcal serotypes (ST) in adults are scarce. We aimed to describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of IPD in hospitalized adults ≥18 years old in 5 tertiary hospitals in Colombia from 2011 to 2017. Methods A descriptive, observational, retrospective study was conducted in 5 tertiary care hospitals during a 7-year period. Demographic, clinical data and in-hospital outcomes were collected through chart review from all culture-confirmed invasive S. pneumoniae cases in each hospital. The National Health Institute laboratory database was assessed to obtain information about ST (Quellung) and antimicrobial susceptibility (Broth microdilution). Results 128 cases of IPD were included in this interim analysis, 70(54.7%) were males. The median age was 58 ± 16.7 years. Main underlying conditions were cardiovascular disease (32%), smoking (27.9%), diabetes (20.3%), autoimmune diseases (18.8%), and cancer (18%). The main clinical presentation was bacteremic pneumonia (66.4%), followed by meningitis (14.8%), bacteremia (14.1%) and other (3.1%). Critical care management was required in more than half of the patients: ICU (60.2%), mechanical ventilation (53%) and inotropic support (51.6%). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 43% and was 39%, 52.6% and 61% for pneumonia, meningitis and bacteremia, respectively. ST was known for 82(64%) cases, most frequent ST were: 3(10.9%), 14(7.3%), 19A(6,1%), 1(4.8%), 4/8/11A/22F (3.65% for each one). ST contained in 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13), 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine (PPVS23) and non-vaccine serotypes accounted for 43.9%, 54.9%, and 40.2% of IPD cases, respectively (Figure 1). 83% and 80.7% strains were susceptible to penicillin and ceftriaxone, respectively. Conclusion Pneumonia is the most common clinical presentation of IPD among adults. The clinical outcome was severe with high mortality rate and need of critical care management. ST contained in PCV13 and PPVS23 accounted for 43.9% and 54.9% of IPD cases. This study highlights the importance to strengthen local surveillance and the implementation of pneumococcal immunization programs in high-risk population. ![]()

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is scarce evidence about the prevalence and clinical relevance of moderate to severe valvular heart disease (VHD) in survivors of out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Purpose
To determine whether VHD influence prognosis of OHCA survivors.
Methods
All consecutive patients admitted to the Acute Cardiac Care Unit after OHCA and surviving until hospital discharge were included. All patients received targeted-temperature management according to our local protocol. Univariate and multivariate Cox-proportional hazard models were employed.
Results
A total of 201 patients were included in the analysis. Mean age was 57.6±14.2 years and 168 (83.6%) were male. Eighteen patients (9.0%) had moderate or severe VHD during index admission (Table 1). Patients with VHD were less frequently of male sex, [11 (61.1%) vs 157 (85.8%), p=0.014], experienced less acute coronary syndrome-related arrhytmias [2 (11.1%) vs 85 (46.5%), p=0.005], and had a lower pH at hospital admission (6.9±1.6 vs 7.2±0.15, p=0.008). During a median follow-up of 40.3 (18.9–69.1) months, patients with VHD showed higher mortality [7 (38.9%) vs 28 (15.3%), p=0.004] and more heart failure-related admissions [7 (38.9%) vs 15 (8.2%), p<0.001]. Only five patients received surgical or percutaneous treatment for VHD during follow-up, with no deaths in this subgroup. Moderate or severe VHD proved to be an independent predictor of global cardiovascular events and specifically heart failure episodes (Figure 1).
Table1 Variable With valvular disease Without valvular disease p value Age, mean±DS, years 63.5±13.2 57.0±14.1 0.066 Hypertension, n (%) 12 (66.7) 95 (51.9) 0.231 Diabetes, n (%) 5 (27.8) 24 (13.1) 0.149 Dyslipidaemia, n (%) 7 (38.9) 79 (43.2) 0.726 Smokin habit, n (%) 4 (22.2) 90 (49.2) 0.045 Witnessed cardiac arrest, n (%) 18 (100) 175 (95.6) 1.000 Time from CA to ROSC, mean±DS, minute 19.1±7.5 21.2±13.1 0.506 Shockable rhythm, n (%) 13 (72.2) 163 (89.1) 0.055 LVEF at hospital discharge (%) 42.8±12.1 46.9±14.6 0.254
Figure 1
Conclusion
The presence of significant VHD in survivors after OHCA is a predictor of poor outcomes. Specific management of VHD may be specially relevant in this high-risk patients and guideline-oriented therapy, including surgery and percutaneous intervention should be encouraged when indicated.
