Abstract
Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is emerging across the major cotton-producing states of the southern United States. Because it was detected in nearly all cotton-producing states within a few years of its initial detection in the United States, the spread of the virus has apparently occurred rapidly. In this study spanning three growing seasons in South Carolina, we collected CLRDV isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic cotton plants in 10 counties. The genomic region encoding P0, the viral suppressor of RNA silencing, was sequenced and compared among CLRDV isolates. Low variability among CLRDV P0 sequences from South Carolina isolates with similarities to other United States isolates was revealed by amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis. Low variability among South Carolina isolates was also confirmed by sequencing a subset of eight near-complete genomes of CLRDV isolates. Although sequence variability was low among South Carolina isolates, this data should be taken in the context of all United States isolates, for which diversity may be higher than initially expected. Sequences gathered in this study add to the body of knowledge on CLRDV diversity in the United States.

Abstract
Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is a major crop pest native to Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa which has recently invaded South America and has caused billions of dollars in agricultural losses. Because of challenges in differentiating between H. armigera and Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), a closely related species native to North and South America, genetic tests have previously been developed to detect H. armigera DNA in pooled samples of moth legs. In this study, a field-based recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay using a lateral flow strip and a qPCR melt curve assay were developed for specific detection of H. armigera DNA in pooled moth samples. In addition, a crude DNA extraction protocol for whole moths was developed to allow rapid preparation of DNA samples. The RPA field test was able to detect ≥ 10 pg of purified H. armigera DNA and the crude DNA of one H. armigera sample in a background of 999 H. zea equivalents. The qPCR assay was able to detect ≥ 100 fg of purified H. armigera DNA and the crude DNA of one H. armigera sample in a background of up to 99,999 H. zea equivalents. Both RPA and qPCR assays detected H. armigera in the crude DNA extracted in the field from a pool of one H. armigera moth and 999 H. zea moths. These newly developed molecular assays to detect H. armigera will contribute to large-scale surveillance programs of H. armigera.

Abstract
A radium-223 ion beam was delivered to an experiment from the electron cyclotron resonance ion source, ECR2, at the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS). The radium-223 material was in a nitrate salt form within a vial, prior to being converted to a usable sputter sample. The sputter sample was produced using a new sample preparation method, where the radium nitrate was dissolved into a solution and pipetted onto pressed aluminum powder. This sample was then allowed to dry, distributing the radium-223 material throughout the sputter sample. Ion source operation using the radium sputter sample is described with the operating parameters listed. The intensity and energy requirements for this ion beam were 1 × 106 particles/s and 1.07 GeV, respectively. Because the intensity is relatively low compared to most experiments at ATLAS, previously developed accelerator mass spectrometry methods were used Scott et al. [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 87, 02A732 (2016)] to avoid the need for tuning of the low-intensity beam of interest. Handling of the radium material, as well as loading and unloading of the sputter sample from ECR2, required collaboration with Health Physics. Procedures were used and dry runs were carried out before, during, and after the experiment to ensure the safety of the workers. The processes used and lessons learned are described within.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the α-β-ν angular correlation in the Gamow-Teller β^{+} decay of ^{8}B. This was accomplished using the Beta-decay Paul Trap, expanding on our previous work on the β^{-} decay of ^{8}Li. The ^{8}B result is consistent with the V-A electroweak interaction of the standard model and, on its own, provides a limit on the exotic right-handed tensor current relative to the axial-vector current of |C_{T}/C_{A}|^{2}<0.013 at the 95.5% confidence level. This represents the first high-precision angular correlation measurements in mirror decays and was made possible through the use of an ion trap. By combining this ^{8}B result with our previous ^{8}Li results, we demonstrate a new pathway for increased precision in searches for exotic currents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is growing interest in expanding healthy eating interventions in the retail setting. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implementation of a successful 2-for-1 price incentive for fruits and vegetables (F&V), including frozen and canned, that took place in partnership with a large chain grocery retailer in Maine. Intervention Approach. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) pilot study was conducted in 2015-2016, followed by a larger RCT in 2016-2017, to assess whether a supermarket double-dollar F&V incentive increased purchases of these items. EVALUATION METHODS A convergent, parallel mixed-methods design was used to examine barriers and facilitators to implementing the interventions, using six implementation outcomes: acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, implementation fidelity, and perceived cost. RESULTS The intervention was deemed highly acceptable, appropriate, and feasible by shoppers, retailers, and researchers. The F&V discount had a high rate of initial adoption. There was a moderate degree of fidelity, which improved over time based on lessons learned from the pilot and applied to the subsequent RCT. Specific costs associated with implementation from the research perspective are reported. Implications for Practice, Policy, and Research. Partnerships between academic researchers and retailers can be an effective model for improving healthful purchases among shoppers. These findings are relevant for investigators, public health advocates, and retailers interested in implementing similar grocery retail-based interventions.

Abstract
Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) is a damaging pest of many crops including soybean, Glycine max (L.), especially in the southern United States. Previous studies have concluded that oviposition and development of H. zea larvae mirror the phenology of soybean, with oviposition occurring during full bloom, younger larvae developing on blooms and leaves, intermediate aged larvae developing on varying tissue types, and older larvae developing on flowers and pods. In a field trial, we investigated the presence of natural infestations of H. zea larvae by instar in determinate and indeterminate soybean varieties. In complementary experiments, we artificially infested H. zea and allowed them to oviposit on plants within replicated cages (one with a determinate variety and two with an indeterminate variety). Plants were sampled weekly during the time larvae were present. In the natural infestation experiment, most larvae were found on blooms during R3 and were early to middle instars; by R4, most larvae were found on leaves and were middle to late instars. In contrast, in the cage study, most larvae were found on leaves regardless of soybean growth stage or larval stage. Determinate and indeterminate growth habit did not impact larval preference for different soybean tissue types. Our studies suggest H. zea larvae prefer specific tissue types, but also provide evidence that experimental design can influence the results. Finally, our finding of larval preference for leaves contrasts with findings from previous studies.

Abstract
During winter in the mid-latitudes, photochemical oxidation is significantly slower than in summer and the main radical oxidants driving formation of secondary pollutants, such as fine particulate matter and ozone, remain uncertain, owing to a lack of observations in this season. Using airborne observations, we quantify the contribution of various oxidants on a regional basis during winter, enabling improved chemical descriptions of wintertime air pollution transformations. We show that 25-60% of NOx is converted to N2O5 via multiphase reactions between gas-phase nitrogen oxide reservoirs and aerosol particles, with ~93% reacting in the marine boundary layer to form >2.5 ppbv ClNO2. This results in >70% of the oxidizing capacity of polluted air during winter being controlled, not by typical photochemical reactions, but from these multiphase reactions and emissions of volatile organic compounds, such as HCHO, highlighting the control local anthropogenic emissions have on the oxidizing capacity of the polluted wintertime atmosphere.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The Trails-X is a new type of trail-making test that emphasizes executive function and does not require either literacy or numeracy. The purpose of this study was to examine performance variability across trails.
Method
Participants were the Trails-X standardization sample and individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), learning disabilities (LD), intellectual disabilities (ID), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dementia. Trail-level performance was assessed via the mean Matrix, Connected Circles, and Time to Discontinue scores across trails. The Profile Variability Index (PVI) was calculated (Plake, Reynolds, & Gutkin, 1981) and clinical groups and standardization samples were compared via a one-way ANOVA.
Results
Across all trails, the mean Matrix score was 6 (possible range = 1-12) for the standardization sample and as low as 3 for the dementia and ID samples. The mean Connected Circles score was 16 (possible range = 0-22) and as low as 12 for the dementia sample. The mean Time to Discontinue score was 39 seconds (possible range = 1-75) and as high as 55 for the dementia sample. There was a statistically significant difference on the PVI score (F(5,845) = 6.921, p = .000). The dementia (M = 4.77) and ID (M = 5.11) samples had significantly lower (p < .05) PVI scores than the other samples, which were not significantly different from each other.
Conclusions
The dementia and ID samples were characterized by consistently low performance while the other samples were characterized by moderate amounts of variability, indicating that some variability across trails should be expected within less impaired individuals.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (NAB) is a comprehensive, modular battery of neuropsychological tests assessing of a wide array of cognitive skills and functions in adults. The purpose of the current study is to provide additional statistical evidence to support interpretation of NAB score changes over time.
Method
Participants were healthy community-dwelling adults, ages 18 to 97 years, from the NAB standardization sample that was assessed on the NAB a second time (n = 95). Reliable change index scores were calculated for the five domain indexes and the total index at several levels of significance. Base rates of score differences between Time 1 and Time 2 were examined.
Results
Across the indexes, significant score differences (at p < .05) ranged from 17 to 28 standard score points for adults (ages 18 to 59 years) and from 13 to 23 standard score points for older adults (ages 60 to 97 years). Approximately 67-89% of adult participants had Time 1 and Time 2 scores within 1 standard deviation (SD) of each other, while older adults ranged from 73-97%. Only 0-4% of adults and older adults had a large decline on any score (greater than 2 SDs). 1-2% of adults and 3-5% of older adults had a large improvement on any score (greater than 2 SDs).
Conclusions
These data allow clinicians to determine the statistical significance of NAB score differences, as well as quantify the frequency of the observed differences.

Abstract
Introduction Excessive alcohol consumption has adverse effects on health and there is a recognised need for the longitudinal analysis of population data to improve our understanding of the patterns of alcohol use, harms to consumers and those in their immediate environment. The UK has a number of linkable, longitudinal databases that if assembled properly could support valuable research on this topic. Aims and Objectives This paper describes the development of a broad set of cross-linked cohorts, e-cohorts, surveys and linked electronic healthcare records (EHRs) to construct an alcohol-specific analytical platform in the United Kingdom using datasets on the population of Wales.The objective of this paper is to provide a description of existing key datasets integrated with existing, routinely collected electronic health data on a secure platform, and relevant derived variables to enable population-based research on alcohol-related harm in Wales. We illustrate our use of these data with some exemplar research questions that are currently under investigation. Methods Record-linkage of routine and observational datasets. Routine data includes hospital admissions, general practice, and cohorts specific to children. Two observational studies were included. Routine socioeconomic descriptors and mortality data were also linked. Conclusion We described a record-linked, population-based research protocol for alcohol related harm on a secure platform. As the datasets used here are available in many countries, ELAStiC provides a template for setting up similar initiatives in other countries. We have also defined a number of alcohol specific variables using routinely-collected available data that can be used in other epidemiological studies into alcohol related outcomes. With over 10 years of longitudinal data, it will help to understand alcohol-related disease and health trajectories across the lifespan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed umbilical cord clamping is associated with significant benefits to preterm and term newborns and is recommended for all infants by the World Health Organization and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Little is known about the cord management practices of U.S. obstetricians. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to describe current cord clamping practices by U.S. obstetricians and investigate factors associated with delayed cord clamping. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional survey was sent to 500 members of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Umbilical cord practices were assessed, and factors related to delaying cord clamping were examined using Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS The overall response rate was 37% with 74% of those opening the email responding. Sixty-seven percent of respondents reported DCC by one minute or more after vaginal births at term. After preterm and near-term vaginal births, 73% and 79% said they waited at least 30 seconds before clamping. The factor most consistently and strongly related to delaying cord clamping in both bivariate and multivariate analyses was having the belief that the timing of clamping was important. Additional analysis revealed that believing the timing was important was positively associated with the physician's institution having a written policy on the cord clamping. CONCLUSIONS In this study, a majority of respondents reported delaying cord clamping and indicated that employing strategies to implement the full uptake of this practice could be valuable. Findings suggest that institutional policies may influence attitudes on cord clamping.

Abstract
The primary management tactic for lepidopteran pests of cotton in the United
States of America (USA) is the use of transgenic cotton that produces
Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt)
toxins. The primary target pests of this technology are Helicoverpa
zea (Boddie) and Heliothis virescens (F.) in the
eastern and central Cotton Belt of the USA. Concerns over the evolution of
resistance in H. zea to Bt
toxins and scrutiny of the necessity of Bt crops has escalated.
We reviewed published and unpublished data from field trials of
Bt cotton in the eastern and central Cotton Belt of the USA
through 2015 to evaluate the effectiveness of Bt cotton
(Bollgard, Bollgard II, WideStrike, WideStrike 3, and TwinLink).
Bt cotton reduced insecticide usage, reduced heliothine
pest numbers and damage, and provided a yield benefit, but Bollgard II and
WideStrike efficacy declined in the Midsouth over the period evaluated. In the
Southeastern region, heliothine damage remained constant through 2015, but yield
benefits declined from 2010 until 2015. Resistance of H.
zea to several Bt toxins is the most
plausible explanation for the observed changes in Bt cotton
efficacy. The introduction of new Bt toxins such as found in
Widestrike 3 and Twinlink may preserve the benefits of Bt
crops. However, while both Widestrike 3 and Twinlink had less damage than
Widestrike, damage levels of both were similar to Bollgard II.

Abstract
GOAL This paper reports a novel electromagnetic sensor technique for real-time noninvasive monitoring of blood lactate in human subjects. METHODS The technique was demonstrated on 34 participants who undertook a cycling regime, with rest period before and after, to produce a rising and falling lactate response curve. Sensors attached to the arm and legs of participants gathered spectral data, blood samples were measured using a Lactate Pro V2; temperature and heart rate data was also collected. RESULTS Pointwise mutual information and neural networks are used to produce a predictive model. The model shows a good correlation between the standard invasive and novel noninvasive electromagnetic wave based blood lactate measurements, with an error of 13.4% in the range of 0-12 mmol/L. CONCLUSION The work demonstrates that electromagnetic wave sensors are capable of determining blood lactate level without the need for invasive blood sampling. SIGNIFICANCE Measurement of blood metabolites, such as blood lactate, in real-time and noninvasively in hospital environments will reduce the risk of infection, increase the frequency of measurement and ensure timely intervention only when necessary. In sports, such tools will enhance training of athletes, and enable more effecting training regimes to be prescribed.

Abstract
People with epilepsy (PWE) have a higher risk of mortality in comparison with the general population. This in part reflects intrinsic factors or associated comorbidities, but poor adherence to anti-epileptic drugs (AED) has also been shown to contribute to increased risk of death and increased utilization of unscheduled care. The aim of this review was to determine the prevalence of non-adherence to AED in PWE, evaluate whether specific clinical and demographic features can allow clinicians to identify those at highest risk and identify the methods and techniques that can be used to improve adherence in clinical settings. We identified relevant studies for the prevalence of medication non-adherence in PWE by searching MEDLINE (1946-7 Dec 2015), EMBASE (1947-7 Dec 2015) and Cochrane Library (1946-7 Dec 2015) as per predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. We included 17 research studies from our review of the medical literature to determine the prevalence of medication non-adherence in epilepsy. The prevalence of significant medication non-adherence in epilepsy has been reported to vary between 26% and 79%. This variation partly reflects the differences in defining what clinically significant medication adherence is, the methods used to estimate the scale of the problem and the underlying population heterogeneity. A number of clinical and demographic features have been associated with poor adherence allowing clinicians to identify those at greatest risk. Educating patients and their carers about the risks associated with poor adherence, certain behavioural interventions and simplifying their drug regimens have been shown to improve adherence.

Abstract
Dementia is a global health problem with a huge impact on the lives of those afflicted. There are several distinct diseases that are classified under the umbrella term "dementia" ranging from neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease to chronic infections of the central nervous system such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), a rare complication of measles virus infection in childhood. Clinical features, neuropsychological profiles and imaging characteristics of the various dementia syndromes can be sufficiently distinct to distinguish them from one another. However, in some cases, the cognitive, psychiatric and behavioural features can sufficiently overlap such that neurophysiologic testing may be of help. While it is recognized the electroencephalogram (EEG) may have a special role to play in the diagnosis of certain dementing illnesses such as SSPE and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) that have characteristic EEG changes, current research focusses on the potential utility of quantitative EEG as one more tool in the armamentarium of clinicians dealing with patients who suffer from a dementing illness. We searched PubMed and the Cochrane Database from 1 January 1946 up to 1 January 2016, combining the search terms "EEG," "electroencephalography," "dementia" and "status epilepticus"; identified papers from these searches were then read in detail and summarized. Here, we discuss both the qualitative and quantitative EEG findings in the various types of dementia.

Abstract
The kudzu bug, Megacopta cribraria (F.), is an urban nuisance and significant agricultural pest. The median lethal concentrations of three strains of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo), including the Mississippi Delta native strain (NI8) isolated from Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), the commercial strain BotaniGard(®) (GHA) (Victor, NY, USA), and the B. bassiana strain isolated from M. cribraria (KUDSC), were estimated on kudzu bug adults. A technique developed to evaluate B. bassiana against L. lineolaris was used. Younger adults (eight days after collection) were treated with NI8 and GHA and older adult (50 days after collection) were treated with NI8, GHA and KUDSC. Higher concentrations (n × 10⁶, n × 10⁷) of NI8 and GHA caused kudzu bug mortality two days after treatment in younger adults and similar concentrations of NI8, GHA, and KUDSC caused mortality one day after treatment in older adults. Lower concentrations (n × 10⁴, n × 10⁵) were not significantly different in mortality between strains. LS50 values of the KUDSC were significantly lower than NI8 and GHA values in older adults. This is the first available information on median lethal concentration of B. bassiana on kudzu bug adults bioassayed on artificial diet. It was determined that B. bassiana (KUDSC and NI8) are highly effective for young adults at very low doses (LC50 1.98-4.98 viable spores per mm²).

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing malignancy. The use of immunosuppressive therapies and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors in these patients may provide a further risk for the development of malignancy. We report the clinical and pathological findings of a high grade osteosarcoma in a patient with Crohns disease receiving TNF inhibitor therapy. In this case, a 32-year old female presented with a painful right knee after receiving maintenance adalimumab for Crohns disease for a period of six years. There is a substantial hypothetical link between TNF inhibitor regimens such as adalimumab and an increased risk of malignancy. TNF inhibitor therapy should be ceased and chemotherapy and surgery is an effective combined modality approach in these patients. The role of TNF inhibitors in patients after cancer diagnosis is uncertain and further research is required to assess efficacy and safety.

Abstract
In the standard model, the weak interaction is formulated with a purely vector-axial-vector (V-A) structure. Without restriction on the chirality of the neutrino, the most general limits on tensor currents from nuclear β decay are dominated by a single measurement of the β-ν[over ¯] correlation in ^{6}He β decay dating back over a half century. In the present work, the β-ν[over ¯]-α correlation in the β decay of ^{8}Li and subsequent α-particle breakup of the ^{8}Be^{*} daughter was measured. The results are consistent with a purely V-A interaction and in the case of couplings to right-handed neutrinos (C_{T}=-C_{T}^{'}) limits the tensor fraction to |C_{T}/C_{A}|^{2}<0.011 (95.5% C.L.). The measurement confirms the ^{6}He result using a different nuclear system and employing modern ion-trapping techniques subject to different systematic uncertainties.

Abstract
The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the mid-southern United States. It is exclusively controlled with foliar insecticide applications, and sampling methods and thresholds need to be revisited. The current experiment was designed to establish a plant-based threshold during the flowering period of cotton development. Experiments were conducted in MisSissippi in 2005 and 2006, Arkansas in 2005, and Louisiana in 2005 through 2008. Treatments consisted of various combinations of thresholds based on the percentage of dirty squares that were compared with the current threshold with a drop cloth or automatic weekly applications. Dirty squares were characterized as those with yellow staining on the developing bud resulting from tarnished plant bug excrement. Treatments consisted of 5, 10, 20, and 30% dirty squares. Each plot was sampled weekly, and insecticides were applied when the mean of all replications of a particular treatment reached the designated threshold. At the end of the season, plots were harvested and lint yields were recorded. Differences were observed in the number of applications and yields among the different treatments. The 10% dirty squares threshold resulted in a similar economic return compared with the drop cloth. A threshold of 10% dirty squares resulted in a similar number of insecticide applications, yields, and economic returns compared with that observed with the drop cloth. These results suggest that a threshold of 10% dirty squares could be used to trigger insecticide applications targeting tarnished plant bugs in flowering cotton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Adaptive properties of the bone-periodontal ligament-tooth complex have been identified by changing the magnitude of functional loads using small-scale animal models, such as rodents. Reported adaptive responses as a result of lower loads due to softer diet include decreased muscle development, change in structure-function relationship of the cranium, narrowed periodontal ligament space, and changes in the mineral level of the cortical bone and alveolar jaw bone and in the glycosaminoglycans of the alveolar bone. However, the adaptive role of the dynamic bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex to prolonged reduced loads has not been fully explained to date, especially with regard to concurrent adaptations of bone, periodontal ligament and cementum. Therefore, in the present study, using a rat model, the temporal effect of reduced functional loads on physical characteristics, such as morphology and mechanical properties and the mineral profiles of the bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex was investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two groups of 6-wk-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed nutritionally identical food with a stiffness range of 127-158 N/mm for hard pellet or 0.3-0.5 N/mm for soft powder forms. Spatio-temporal adaptation of the bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex was identified by mapping changes in the following: (i) periodontal ligament collagen orientation and birefringence using polarized light microscopy, bone and cementum adaptation using histochemistry, and bone and cementum morphology using micro-X-ray computed tomography; (ii) mineral profiles of the periodontal ligament-cementum and periodontal ligament-bone interfaces by X-ray attenuation; and (iii) microhardness of bone and cementum by microindentation of specimens at ages 6, 8, 12 and 15 wk. RESULTS Reduced functional loads over prolonged time resulted in the following adaptations: (i) altered periodontal ligament orientation and decreased periodontal ligament collagen birefringence, indicating decreased periodontal ligament turnover rate and decreased apical cementum resorption; (ii) a gradual increase in X-ray attenuation, owing to mineral differences, at the periodontal ligament-bone and periodontal ligament-cementum interfaces, without significant differences in the gradients for either group; (iii) significantly (p < 0.05) lower microhardness of alveolar bone (0.93 ± 0.16 GPa) and secondary cementum (0.803 ± 0.13 GPa) compared with the higher load group insert bone = (1.10 ± 0.17 and cementum = 0.940 ± 0.15 GPa, respectively) at 15 wk, indicating a temporal effect of loads on the local mineralization of bone and cementum. CONCLUSION Based on the results from this study, the effect of reduced functional loads for a prolonged time could differentially affect morphology, mechanical properties and mineral variations of the local load-bearing sites in the bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex. These observed local changes in turn could help to explain the overall biomechanical function and adaptations of the tooth-bone joint. From a clinical translation perspective, our study provides an insight into modulation of load on the complex for improved tooth function during periodontal disease and/or orthodontic and prosthodontic treatments.

Abstract
Patients on systemic glucocorticoids for GVHD after hematopoietic cell transplant are susceptible to invasive fungal infections (IFI), which greatly contribute to morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the efficacy of prophylactic treatment options (voriconazole or fluconazole vs itraconazole) for IFI by performing a retrospective review of patients on glucocorticoids for GVHD who were administered voriconazole (n=97), fluconazole (n=36) or itraconazole (n=36). IFI developed in 7/72 (10%) patients on fluconazole/itraconazole vs 2/97 (2%) on voriconazole (P=0.03) within the first 100 days of glucocorticoids. Five (7%) patients developed Aspergillus IFI on fluconazole/itraconazole, compared with none on voriconazole (0%) (P=0.008); Aspergillus IFI resulted in death in all five patients. We found that IFI occurred in patients who received an initial dose of at least 2 mg/kg/day of prednisone or equivalent; when the analysis was restricted to these patients, the hazard ratio (0.39; 95% confidence interval: 0.08-1.86) was consistent with a protective effect of voriconazole compared with fluconazole/itraconazole, although this subset analysis did not reach significance. OS at 100 days after start of glucocorticoids was 77% in patients administered fluconazole/itraconazole and 85% in those administered voriconazole (P=0.22). Our results suggest that voriconazole is more effective than fluconazole/itraconazole in preventing IFI, especially aspergillosis, in patients receiving glucocorticoids post transplant.

Abstract
Since his first book The Cholera Years appeared in 1962, Charles Rosenberg has had an enormous influence on the history of medicine. Not the least of that influence has been exercised through his role as a graduate teacher, advisor, and mentor. This article compares Rosenberg's work with that of his students, to see if there is such a historiographic identity as the "Rosenberg School." The authors, two Rosenberg students from different generations, conclude that there is not such a school, at least in the classic sense of the term. Yet they argue that certain common assumptions, or "Rosenberg Rules," have been passed on from Rosenberg to the other scholars he has influenced. They also discuss the challenges they have encountered in applying Charles's conceptual framework, worked out primarily in pre-1920 terms, to the late twentieth-century history of American medicine.
