Abstract
Evidence supports unequal burdens of chemical exposures from personal care products (PCPs) among some groups, namely femme-identifying and racial and ethnic minorities. In this study, we implemented an online questionnaire to assess PCP purchasing and usage behaviors and perceptions of use among a sample of US adults recruited at a Northeastern university. We collected PCP use across seven product categories (hair, beauty, skincare, perfumes/colognes, feminine hygiene, oral care, other), and behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions of use and safety across sociodemographic factors to evaluate relationships between sociodemographic factors and the total number of products used within the prior 24-48 h using multivariable models. We also summarized participants' perceptions and attitudes. Among 591 adults (20.0% Asian American/Pacific Islander [AAPI], 5.9% Hispanic, 9.6% non-Hispanic Black [NHB], 54.6% non-Hispanic White [NHW], and 9.9% multiracial or other), the average number of PCPs used within the prior 24-48 h was 15.6 ± 7.7. PCP use was greater among females than males (19.0 vs. 7.9, P < 0.01) and varied by race and ethnicity among females. Relative to NHWs, AAPI females used fewer hair products (2.5 vs. 3.1) and more feminine hygiene products (1.5 vs. 1.1), NHB females used more hair products (3.8 vs. 3.1), perfumes (1.0 vs. 0.6), oral care (2.3 vs. 1.9), and feminine hygiene products (1.8 vs. 1.1), and multiracial or other females used more oral care (2.2 vs. 1.9) and feminine hygiene products (1.5 vs. 1.1) (P-values <0.05). Generally, study participants reported moderate concern about exposures and health effects from using PCPs, with few differences by gender, race, and ethnicity. These findings add to the extant literature on PCP use across sociodemographic characteristics. Improving the understanding of patterns of use for specific products and their chemical ingredients is critical for developing interventions to reduce these exposures, especially in vulnerable groups with an unequal burden of exposure.

Abstract
AIM To provide an updated systematic review concerning the impact of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the modern era of oesophageal cancer staging. MATERIALS AND METHODS To update the previous systematic review, databases including MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched and studies published from 2005 onwards were selected. Studies reporting primary data in patients with oesophageal or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer who underwent radiological staging and treatment, regardless of intent, were included. The primary outcome was the reported change in management after EUS. Secondary outcomes were recurrence rate and overall survival. Two reviewers extracted data from included articles. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021231852). RESULTS Eighteen studies with 11,836 patients were included comprising 2,805 patients (23.7%) who underwent EUS compared to 9,031 (76.3%) without EUS examination. Reported change of management varied widely from 0% to 56%. When used, EUS fine-needle aspiration precluded curative treatment in 37.5%-71.4%. Overall survival improvements ranged between 121 and 639 days following EUS intervention compared to patients without EUS. Smaller effect sizes were observed in a randomised controlled trial, compared to larger differences reported in observational studies. CONCLUSION Current evidence for the effectiveness of EUS in oesophageal cancer pathways is conflicting and of limited quality. In particular, the extent to which EUS adds value to contemporary cross-sectional imaging techniques is unclear and requires formal re-evaluation.

Abstract
Background:Patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) are at increased risk of persistent opioid use and dependenceObjectives:To identify patients with persistent high-dose opioid use after TKR using group-based trajectory models (GBTM) and determine predictors of persistent high-dose opioid users using pre-TKR patient characteristicsMethods:Using US Medicare claims (2010-2014), we identified patients aged ≥65 years who underwent a TKR and had no history of cancer or high-dose opioid use (>25 mean morphine equivalents (MME)/day) in the year prior. All patients were continuously enrolled in Medicare for ≥360 days prior to and ≥30 days after the TKR. To determine opioid filling patterns after the surgery, patients were followed up to 360 days from the day of TKR. We modeled 12 monthly indicators of opioid prescription fills as a continuous (MME/day) variable using a censored normal GBTM and categorized patients into 4 groups. The primary outcome was persistent high-dose opioid use defined as patients in trajectory Group 3 (38.8 MME/day) or Group 4 (22.4 MME/day). We split the data into training (2010-2013 data) and test (2014 data) sets and used logistic regression to predict high-dose opioid use vs low-dose opioid use (Groups 1 and 2) as a binary outcome utilizing pre-TKR patient characteristics as candidate predictors using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression for variable selection. A reduced model with only 10 pre-specified variables readily available for clinical use was also consideredResults:The final study cohort included 142,089 patients. The GBTM identified 4 distinct trajectories (Group 1- Short-term, low-dose, Group 2- long-term, low-dose, Group 3- medium-term, high-dose, Group 4-long-term, high-dose) of opioid use in the year after TKR(Figure). Using logistic regression and LASSO, we predicted the probability of persistent high-dose opioid use (N=17,171) (vs. low-dose opioid use) in the training set (N=101,810) for an AUC=0.80. The AUC in the test set (N=40,279) predicting high opioid use (N=5,893) was 0.77. The final model selected 33 variables and identified baseline history of opioid use as the strongest positive predictor of high-dose persistent opioid use. The reduced model with only ten predictors also performed equally well (AUC=0.77)(Table).Conclusion:In this cohort of older patients with no history of cancer or high-dose opioid use at baseline, 16.2% became high dose (28.1 MME/day) opioid users during the year after TKR. Our prediction model with 10 readily available clinical factors may help identify patients at high risk of future adverse outcomes from persistent opioid use and dependence after TKRFigure.

Abstract
Abstract
A rehydratable dry-film plating method for Escherichia coli, the Petrifilm E. coli/Coliform (EC) Count Plate in foods, has been compared with the AOAC INTERNATIONAL most probable number (MPN) method. Eleven laboratories participated in the collaborative study. Three E. coli levels in 8 samples each of frozen raw ground turkey, frozen raw ground beef, and frozen cooked fish were tested in duplicate. Mean log counts for the Petri film plate procedure were not significantly different from those for the MPN procedure for cooked fish samples inoculated with low or high inocula levels, for samples of raw turkey inoculated at medium level, and for beef inoculated at low, medium, and high levels. Repeatability and reproducibility vari ances of the Petrifilm EC Plate method recorded at 24 h were as good as or better than those of the MPN method. The dry rehydratable film method for enumerating confirmed E. coli in poultry, meats, and seafood has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract
A multilaboratory study was conducted to compare the VIDAS® LIS immunoassay with the standard cultural methods for the detection of Listeria in foods using an enrichment modification of AOAC Official Method 999.06. The modified enrichment protocol was implemented to harmonize the VIDAS LIS assay with the VIDAS LMO2 assay. Five food types—brie cheese, vanilla ice cream, frozen green beans, frozen raw tilapia fish, and cooked roast beef—at 3 inoculation levels, were analyzed by each method. A total of 15 laboratories representing government and industry participated. In this study, 1206 test portions were tested, of which 1170 were used in the statistical analysis. There were 433 positive by the VIDAS LIS assay and 396 positive by the standard culture methods. A Chi-square analysis of each of the 5 food types, at the 3 inoculation levels tested, was performed. The resulting average Chi square analysis, 0.42, indicated that, overall, there are no statistical differences between the VIDAS LIS assay and the standard methods at the 5% level of significance.

Abstract
The use of darbepoetin alfa to treat anemia in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) was evaluated in a phase 3 trial. Eligible patients had low/intermediate-1 risk MDS, hemoglobin ⩽10 g/dl, low transfusion burden and serum erythropoietin (EPO) ⩽500 mU/ml. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive 24 weeks of subcutaneous darbepoetin alfa 500 μg or placebo every 3 weeks (Q3W), followed by 48 weeks of open-label darbepoetin alfa. A total of 147 patients were randomized, with median hemoglobin of 9.3 (Q1:8.8, Q3:9.7) g/dl and median baseline serum EPO of 69 (Q1:36, Q3:158) mU/ml. Transfusion incidence from weeks 5–24 was significantly lower with darbepoetin alfa versus placebo (36.1% (35/97) versus 59.2% (29/49), P=0.008) and erythroid response rates increased significantly with darbepoetin alfa (14.7% (11/75 evaluable) versus 0% (0/35 evaluable), P=0.016). In the 48-week open-label period, dose frequency increased from Q3W to Q2W in 81% (102/126) of patients; this was associated with a higher hematologic improvement–erythroid response rate (34.7% (34/98)). Safety results were consistent with a previous darbepoetin alfa phase 2 MDS trial. In conclusion, 24 weeks of darbepoetin alfa Q3W significantly reduced transfusions and increased rates of erythroid response with no new safety signals in lower-risk MDS (registered as EudraCT#2009-016522-14 and NCT#01362140).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Adenoma detection rate (ADR) has been established as a quality indicator for screening colonoscopy. Because ADR is cumbersome to obtain in routine practice, polyp detection rate (PDR), polypectomy rate (PR) and adenoma-to-polyp-detection-rate-ratio (APDRR) have been proposed to estimate ADR. This study aimed to evaluate APDRR in order to estimate ADR (ADRest) in different settings. METHODS Average risk screening and surveillance colonoscopies from a community-based private practice and a tertiary academic hospital setting were retrospectively evaluated. APDRR was calculated as averaged group APDRR for all study procedures (APDRR) and for the first half of study procedures of each gastroenterologist (APDRRag) or individually for each gastroenterologist on the basis of his or her first 25, 50 and 100 colonoscopies (APDRRind). ADRest was determined from PDR by using APDRR, APDRRag, and APDRRind, respectively. RESULTS A total of 2717 individuals were analyzed. Using APDRR, significant correlations between ADR and ADRest were observed for the entire (0.944, p < 0.001), proximal (0.854, p < 0.001), and distal (0.977, p < 0.001) colon. These correlations were lost when APDRRag was used to estimate each gastroenterologist's ADR for the second half of his or her included colonoscopies. However, ADR and ADRest correlated significantly with a root-mean-square-error of 6.8% and 5.8% when APDRRind on the basis of each gastroenterologist's first 50 and 100 colonoscopies was used for subsequent colonoscopies. CONCLUSIONS ADR for subsequent colonoscopies of an individual endoscopist can be reliably estimated from PDR by using an individually calculated APDRR. Prospective studies are needed to verify this promising approach in different practice settings.

Abstract
Objective and methods Finding effective solutions to curb the obesity epidemic is a great global public health challenge. The need for long‐term follow‐up necessitates weight loss trials conducted in real‐world settings, outside the confines of tightly controlled laboratory or clinic conditions. Given the complexity of eating behaviour and the food supply, this makes the process of designing a practical dietary intervention that stands up to scientific rigor difficult. Detailed information about the dietary intervention itself, as well as the process of developing the final intervention and its underlying rationale, is rarely reported in scientific weight management publications but is valuable and essential for translating research into practice. Thus, this paper describes the design process and underlying rationale behind the dietary interventions in an exemplar weight loss trial – the TEMPO Diet Trial (Type of Energy Manipulation for Promoting optimal metabolic health and body composition in Obesity). This trial assesses the long‐term effects of fast versus slow weight loss on adiposity, fat free mass, muscle strength and bone density in women with obesity (body mass index 30–40 kg m−2) that are 45–65 years of age, postmenopausal and sedentary. Results and conclusions This paper is intended as a resource for researchers and/or clinicians to illustrate how theoretical values based on a hypothesis can be translated into a dietary weight loss intervention to be used in free‐living women of varying sizes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of appropriate, accurate measurement and reporting of environmental parameters in plant sciences is a significant aspect of quality assurance for all researchers and their research. There is a clear need for ensuring research across the world can be compared, understood and where necessary replicated by fellow researchers. A common set of guidelines to educate, assist and encourage comparativeness is of great importance. On the other hand, the level of effort and attention to detail by an individual researcher should be commensurate with the particular research being conducted. For example, a researcher focusing on interactions of light and temperature should measure all relevant parameters and report a measurement summary that includes sufficient detail allowing for replication. Such detail may be less relevant when the impact of environmental parameters on plant growth and development is not the main research focus. However, it should be noted that the environmental experience of a plant during production can have significant impact when subsequent experiments investigate plants at a molecular, biochemical or genetic level or where species interactions are considered. Thus, researchers are encouraged to make a critical assessment of what parameters are of primary importance in their research and these parameters should be measured and reported. CONTENT This paper brings together a collection of parameters that the authors, as members of International Committee on Controlled Environment Guidelines (ICCEG) in consultation with members of our three parent organizations, believe constitute those which should be recorded and reported when publishing scientific data from experiments in greenhouses. It provides recommendations to end users on when, how and where these parameters should be measured along with the appropriate internationally standardized units that should be used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The implementation of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) can help reduce prescription errors in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a CPOE for geriatric patients with the two most common conditions for drug-induced iatrogenic diseases, dysphagia and renal failure. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of actual drug prescriptions versus CPOE recommendations in the geriatric department of the St. Marien Hospital in Cologne, Germany was carried out. Actual drug prescriptions were collected for 26 patients with dysphagia (15 female, 11 male, average age 82.3 ± 8.0 years) and 35 patients with renal failure (23 female, 12 male, average age 80.5 ± 6.7 years) which were compared with recommended prescriptions by means of a CPOE and discrepancies were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Prescription errors for at least 1 drug were detected in 46 % of patients with renal failure and the administration of at least 1 drug with inadequate crushing was observed in 77 % of dysphagia patients. CONCLUSION Prescription errors appear to be frequent to highly frequent in the medical routine even in a highly specialized geriatric setting. Inaccuracies might be reduced by the implementation of a CPOE and even more if coupled to a decision support system. Drug-drug or drug-disease interactions, which are particularly high risks in patients with multimorbidities, multidrug therapy, renal failure or malnutrition, might be kept under control through careful verification of medication indications, organ function status as well as drug administration and preparation in cases of tube feeding.

Abstract
Very-low-energy diets (VLEDs) and ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets (KLCDs) are two dietary strategies that have been associated with a suppression of appetite. However, the results of clinical trials investigating the effect of ketogenic diets on appetite are inconsistent. To evaluate quantitatively the effect of ketogenic diets on subjective appetite ratings, we conducted a systematic literature search and meta-analysis of studies that assessed appetite with visual analogue scales before (in energy balance) and during (while in ketosis) adherence to VLED or KLCD. Individuals were less hungry and exhibited greater fullness/satiety while adhering to VLED, and individuals adhering to KLCD were less hungry and had a reduced desire to eat. Although these absolute changes in appetite were small, they occurred within the context of energy restriction, which is known to increase appetite in obese people. Thus, the clinical benefit of a ketogenic diet is in preventing an increase in appetite, despite weight loss, although individuals may indeed feel slightly less hungry (or more full or satisfied). Ketosis appears to provide a plausible explanation for this suppression of appetite. Future studies should investigate the minimum level of ketosis required to achieve appetite suppression during ketogenic weight loss diets, as this could enable inclusion of a greater variety of healthy carbohydrate-containing foods into the diet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Low diagnostic reliability, the need to meet criteria of two disorders, and its status as residual diagnosis in clinical practice led us to hypothesize that schizoaffective disorder (SAD) is characterized by considerable heterogeneity, particularly in comparison with schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD). As this has not been investigated the aim of this study is to test whether heterogeneity is larger in SAD than in SZ and BD. METHOD Systematic search for studies simultaneously comparing all three diagnoses regarding demographic, clinical, psychometric (clinical rating scales and IQ tests), and biological parameters; comparison of heterogeneity as measured by standard deviation (SD). RESULTS Standard deviation of SAD samples (N = 47) was smaller than in both differential diagnoses. SDs were 7% higher in BD than in SAD (SZ: 2% higher); in studies employing DSM-IIIR/-IV pooled SD was 4% higher in BD (8% lower in SZ). Differences between diagnoses were limited to the comparison of SAD and BD, and became smaller when only psychotic BD was considered. CONCLUSION Heterogeneity of SZ and BD is not smaller than that of SAD. SAD seems not to be more diverse than other functional psychoses. Results are preliminary because of the novelty of the approach and to the small number of studies.

Abstract
Health researchers and policy-makers increasingly urge both patient and clinician engagement in shared decision making (SDM) to promote patient-centered care. Although SDM has been examined in numerous clinical settings, it has received little attention in solid organ transplantation. This paper describes the application of SDM to the kidney transplantation context. Several distinctive features of kidney transplantation present challenges to SDM including fragmented patient-provider relationships, the time-sensitive and unpredictable nature of deceased organ offers, decision-making processes by transplant providers serving as both organ guardians (given the organ scarcity) versus advocates for specific patients seeking transplantation, variable clinical practices and policies among transplant centers, and patients' potentially compromised cognitive status and literacy levels. We describe potential barriers to and opportunities for SDM, and posit that SDM is feasible, warranting encouragement in kidney transplantation. We propose strategies to promote and overcome obstacles to SDM in kidney transplantation. We contend that engagement in SDM can be facilitated by re-organization of clinical care, communication and education of providers and patients.

Abstract
Drawing from a series of field measurement activities including the Alternative Aviation Fuels Experiments (AAFEX1 and AAFEX2), we present experimental measurements of particle number, size, and composition-resolved mass that describe the physical and chemical evolution of aircraft exhaust plumes on the time scale of 5 s to 2-3 min. As the plume ages, the particle number emission index initially increases by a factor of 10-50, due to gas-to-particle formation of a nucleation/growth mode, and then begins to fall with increased aging. Increasing the fuel sulfur content causes the initial increase to occur more rapidly. The contribution of the nucleation/growth mode to the overall particle number density is most pronounced at idle power and decreases with increasing engine power. Increasing fuel sulfur content, but not fuel aromatic content causes the nucleation/growth mode to dominate the particle number emissions at higher powers than for a fuel with "normal" sulfur and aromatic content. Particle size measurements indicate that the observed particle number emissions trends are due to continuing gas-to-particle conversion and coagulation growth of the nucleation/growth mode particles, processes which simultaneously increase particle mass and reduce particle number density. Measurements of nucleation/growth mode mass are consistent with the interpretation of particle number and size data and suggest that engine exit plane measurements may underestimate the total particle mass by as much as a factor of between 5 and 10.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scoliosis of the vertebral column can be assessed with the Cobb angle (Cobb 1948). This examination is performed manually by measuring the angle on radiographs and is considered the gold standard. However, studies evaluating the reproducibility of this procedure have shown high variability in intra- and inter-observer agreement. Because of technical advancements, interests in new procedures to determine the Cobb angle has been renewed. This review aims to systematically investigate the reproducibility of various new techniques to determine the Cobb angle in idiopathic scoliosis and to assess whether new technical procedures are reasonable alternatives when compared to manual measurement of the Cobb angle. METHOD Systematic review. Studies examining procedures used to determine the Cobb angle were selected. Two review authors independently selected studies for inclusion, extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Statistical results of reliability and agreement were summarised and described. RESULTS Eleven studies of new measuring procedures were included, all reporting the reproducibility. The new procedures can be divided into computer-assisted procedures, automatic procedures and smartphone apps. CONCLUSIONS All investigated measuring procedures showed high degrees of reliability. In general, digital procedures tend to be slightly better than manual ones. For all other measurement procedures (automatic or smartphone), results varied. Studies implementing vertebral pre-selection and observer training achieved better agreement.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder that can have nodal and extranodal manifestations. In the absence of established guidelines for the management of this condition, various therapeutic modalities are used, including radiotherapy. Radiation dosages and fractionation schedules have not been reported in all instances. We present a case in which glottic and subglottic Rosai-Dorfman lesions causing airway obstruction in a frail steroid-refractory patient were put into complete remission using radiotherapy. The lesions responded transiently to a course of prednisone, but responded completely to external-beam radiation, with minimal side effects to the patient.

Abstract
The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) mandates that organ recipients provide "specific informed consent" before accepting organs that the OPTN defines as "increased risk". However, the OPTN does not provide specific guidelines for what information should be disclosed to potential recipients. Such vagueness opens the door to inadequate informed consent. This paper examines the ethical dimensions of informed consent when the prospective living donor has self-reported behaviors associated with increased risk for infection transmission. Donor privacy is a primary ethical concern that conflicts with recipients' informed consent for use of increased risk organs. We propose that both the increased risk status and the specific behavior be disclosed to the recipient. Because the actual risk posed is linked to the type of risk behavior, disclosure is therefore needed to make an informed decision. The donor's risk behavior is material to recipients' decision making because it may impact the donor-recipient relationship. This relationship is the foundation of the donation and acceptance transaction, and thus comprises a critical feature of the recipient's informed consent. Optimizing a recipient's informed consent is essential to protecting patient safety and autonomy.

Abstract
Patients with early stage favorable Hodgkin's disease who relapse after extended field radiotherapy have satisfactory results. We retrospectively analysed patients with relapsed HD after initial radiation therapy alone to determine treatment outcome and prognostic factors. Nine-hundred and forty five patients in localized stages without risk factors received either 40 Gy extended field RT or 30 Gy EF RT followed by an additional 10 Gy to involved lymph node regions. 107 patients relapsed and received salvage therapy. Characteristics of the 107 patients at relapse were as follows: median age was 34 years (range 18--75) with relapse occuring at a median of 19 months (range 4--98 months), 31% were female. The majority of patients (93%) were treated with conventional chemotherapy. Sixty-nine percent were treated with COPP/ABVD like regimens, 21% with BEACOPP, and 3% received various other regimens. Seven percent were treated with radiotherapy alone. Complete remission was achieved in 87% of all salvaged patients. The median follow-up after relapse was 45 months. FF2F (freedom from second treatment failure) and OS (overall survival) were 81% and 89%, respectively. In multivariate analysis age was the major prognostic factor for FF2F and OS (p<0.0001, for both). Further independent prognostic factors were B symptoms (p=0.05) and salvage chemotherapy (p=0.03) for FF2F, and B symptoms (p=0.03) and extranodal involvement (p=0.02) for OS. The long-term outcome of patients relapsing after EF RT is excellent. Age, B symptoms, extranodal involvement and salvage chemotherapy were identified as prognostic factors for second relapse and survival.

Abstract
7009 Background: Thrombocytopenia is common in patients (pts) with MDS, and treatment options are currently limited to platelet (plt) transfusions. Romiplostim is an Fc-peptide fusion protein (peptibody) that stimulates plt production by the same mechanism as thrombopoietin. Methods: This was a phase II, multicenter, single arm, open-label study. Eligibility criteria included IPSS low or intermediate-1 risk MDS and a mean baseline plt count ≤50x109/L. Safety and efficacy of romiplostim were evaluated in pts receiving 750μg romiplostim according to one of 3 schedules: weekly or biweekly subcutaneous injections (QWSC or Q2WSC), or biweekly intravenous injections (Q2WIV). Plt responses were measured per IWG 2006 criteria. Results: Of the 28 pts enrolled, 17 (61%) completed the study; 22 (79%) were male and the mean (±SD) baseline plt count was 29 (±10) x 109/L. The mean age was 71 years and 19 pts (68%) had received plt transfusions in the past year. Mean duration of exposure to romiplostim was 12 (±8) weeks. The most common adverse events (AEs) were fatigue and headache (both 18%). Five pts experienced serious AEs, and there were 2 cases of disease progression to AML: one pt in the QWSC cohort who received romiplostim for 4 weeks and one in the Q2WSC cohort who received romiplostim for 20 weeks. For pts who completed 8 weeks treatment, 15/23 (65%) achieved a plt response, defined by IWG 2006 criteria, and 14/23 (61%) did not require a plt transfusion during this period. The small number of pts limited the ability to compare administration schedules; minor differences were observed in plt responses and plt transfusions, and the incidence of AEs appeared similar among cohorts. Conclusions: IV and SC romiplostim appeared well-tolerated and effective in raising plt counts and avoiding plt transfusions in low and intermediate-1 risk MDS pts. The dose recommendation for future studies is 750μg, given QW or Q2W SC. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
Objective: To provide context for the malignancy experience in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) abatacept clinical development programme (CDP) by performing comparisons with similar RA patients and the general population. Methods: Malignancy outcomes included total malignancy (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)), breast, colorectal, lung cancers and lymphoma. Comparisons were made between the observed incidence in patients within the abatacept CDP and RA patients on disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) identified from five data sources: the population-based British Columbia RA Cohort, the Norfolk Arthritis Register, the National Data Bank for Rheumatic Diseases, the Sweden Early RA Register and the General Practice Research Database. Age and sex-adjusted incidence rates (IR) and standardised incidence ratios (SIR) were used to compare events in the abatacept trials with the RA DMARD cohorts and the general population. Results: A total of 4134 RA patients treated with abatacept in seven trials and 41 529 DMARD-treated RA patients in the five observational cohorts was identified for study inclusion. In the abatacept-treated patients, the 51 malignancies (excluding NMSC), seven cases of breast, two cases of colorectal, 13 cases of lung cancer and five cases of lymphoma observed were not greater than the range of expected cases from the five RA cohorts. The SIR comparing RA patients with the general population were consistent with those reported in the literature. Conclusions: The IR of total malignancy (excluding NMSC), breast, colorectal, lung cancers and lymphoma in the abatacept CDP were consistent with those in a comparable RA population. These data suggest no new safety signals with respect to malignancies, which will continue to be monitored.

Abstract
AIMS The mechanisms by which obesity confers increased cardiovascular risk and the effects of moderate weight loss on cardiovascular health are incompletely understood. We sought to characterize the preclinical changes in cardiac and vascular health that accompany obesity and the influence of lifestyle modification on these parameters. METHODS Preclinical markers of vasculopathy in resistance vessels and conduit arteries and left ventricular structure and function were assessed in 39 obese subjects (BMI > 30 kg/m(2)) and 11 healthy weight controls. The influence of serum on cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) expression on human endothelial cells was studied ex vivo in a subgroup of 13 obese and nine healthy weight subjects. These analyses were repeated in all 17 of the obese subjects who complied with 4-9 months of lifestyle modification treatment (six with weight loss >5% and 11 with weight loss <5%). RESULTS Compared with healthy weight controls, obese subjects had decreased peak hyperaemic forearm blood flow (p = 0.015), increased carotid intima-media thickness (p = 0.009), increased left ventricular wall thickness and volume and evidence of systolic and diastolic dysfunction as assessed using tissue Doppler imaging (S', p = 0.09; E'/A', p = 0.02), and serum from obese subjects increased the intercellular CAM-1 expression on human endothelial cells (p = 0.009). However, arterial endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated dilatation was not altered (p = 0.99). Lifestyle modification treatment resulted in potentially beneficial changes in fibrinogen (p = 0.003), HDL cholesterol (p = 0.05) and soluble vascular CAM-1 (p = 0.06). In subjects with weight loss greater than 5% of body weight, there was also a decrease in low-level inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, p = 0.05), lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, p = 0.05) and triglycerides (p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS Obesity is associated with widespread alterations in cardiac and vascular structure and function. Moderate short-term weight loss by lifestyle modification results in some beneficial changes in serum profile; however, these are not accompanied by significant alterations to either cardiac or vascular structure and function.

Abstract
We performed a genome-wide association scan in 1461 patients with bipolar (BP) 1 disorder, 2008 controls drawn from the Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder and the University College London sample collections with successful genotyping for 372,193 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Our strongest single SNP results are found in myosin5B (MYO5B; P=1.66 x 10(-7)) and tetraspanin-8 (TSPAN8; P=6.11 x 10(-7)). Haplotype analysis further supported single SNP results highlighting MYO5B, TSPAN8 and the epidermal growth factor receptor (MYO5B; P=2.04 x 10(-8), TSPAN8; P=7.57 x 10(-7) and EGFR; P=8.36 x 10(-8)). For replication, we genotyped 304 SNPs in family-based NIMH samples (n=409 trios) and University of Edinburgh case-control samples (n=365 cases, 351 controls) that did not provide independent replication after correction for multiple testing. A comparison of our strongest associations with the genome-wide scan of 1868 patients with BP disorder and 2938 controls who completed the scan as part of the Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium indicates concordant signals for SNPs within the voltage-dependent calcium channel, L-type, alpha 1C subunit (CACNA1C) gene. Given the heritability of BP disorder, the lack of agreement between studies emphasizes that susceptibility alleles are likely to be modest in effect size and require even larger samples for detection.

Abstract
Objective:To examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoarthritis (OA) leading to total hip (THR) or knee (TKR) joint replacement.Methods:Case–control study design. All patients still living in Iceland who had had a THR or TKR resulting from OA before the end of 2002 were invited to participate. First-degree relatives of participating patients served as controls. A total of 1473 patients (872 women) and 1103 controls (599 women), all born between 1910 and 1939 and who had answered a questionnaire including questions about height and weight, were analysed. A randomly selected sample, representative of the Icelandic population, was used as a secondary control group.Results:The OR, adjusted for age, occupation and presence of hand OA, for having a THR was 1.1 (95% CI 0.9 to 1.5) for overweight men and 1.7 (95% CI 1.0 to 2.9) for obese men. The OR for having a TKR was 1.7 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.6) for overweight men and 5.3 (95% CI 2.8 to 10.1) for obese men. The OR for having a THR was 1.0 (95% CI 0.8 to 1.3) for overweight women and 1.0 (95% CI 0.6 to 1.5) for obese women. The OR for having a TKR was 1.6 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.2) for overweight women and 4.0 (95% CI 2.6 to 6.1) for obese women.Conclusion:This study supports a positive association between high BMI and TKR in both sexes, but for THR the association with BMI seems to be weaker, and possibly negligible for women.

Abstract
We present an adaptive time stepping scheme based on the extrapolative method of Barth and Schlick [LN, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 1633 (1998)] to numerically integrate the Langevin equation with a molecular-dynamics potential. This approach allows us to use (on average) a time step for the strong nonbonded force integration corresponding to half the period of the fastest bond oscillation, without compromising the slow degrees of freedom in the problem. We show with simple examples how the dynamic step size stabilizes integration operators, and discuss some of the limitations of such stability. The method introduced uses a slightly more accurate inner integrator than LN to accommodate the larger steps. The adaptive time step approach reproduces temporal features of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) test system (similar to the one used in the original introduction of LN) compared to short-time integrators, but with energies that are shifted with respect to both LN, and traditional stochastic versions of Verlet. Although the introduction of longer steps has the effect of systematically heating the bonded components of the potential, the temporal fluctuations of the slow degrees of freedom are reproduced accurately. The purpose of this paper is to display a mechanism by which the resonance traditionally associated with using time steps corresponding to half the period of oscillations in molecular dynamics can be avoided. This has theoretical utility in terms of designing numerical integration schemes--the key point is that by factoring a propagator so that time steps are not constant one can recover stability with an overall (average) time step at a resonance frequency. There are, of course, limitations to this approach associated with the complicated, nonlinear nature of the molecular-dynamics (MD) potential (i.e., it is not as straightforward as the linear test problem we use to motivate the method). While the basic notion remains in the full Newtonian problem, it is easier to see the effects when damping is considered to be physical--that is, we do not view our method as a perturbation of Newtonian dynamics, we associate the damping with the environment, for example, a water bath (with gamma approximately 90 ps(-1)) [Zagrovic and Pande, J. Comp. Chem. 24, 1432 (2003)]. All stochastic approaches to MD are stabilized by large physical damping, but here, we are really using it only to show that the resonance frequency can be obtained. Another simplifying assumption used in this paper is "heavy" hydrogen (we take the hydrogen mass to be 10 amu)--the view here is that we are interested primarily in the slowest degrees of freedom, and this approach has effects similar to bond freezing and united atom treatments of hydrogen. So from the point of view of biomolecular applications, the method described here is best suited to studies in which water is not explicit (so that damping in the problem can really be viewed as environmental interaction), and the interest is in slow dynamics where the effects of hydrogen are neglectable. There are a number of parameters in the LN method and the one derived here, and we cannot in a short paper address all adjustments, so our primary goal as a first pass is to show that stability can be recovered for a set of numerically forced (and hence artificial) bond oscillations, and compare stability to fixed-step methods.
