Abstract
BACKGROUND Although disparities in surgical outcomes are well-documented, our understanding of how socioecological factors drive these disparities remains limited. Comprehensive and efficient assessment tools are needed. This study's objective was to develop and assess the acceptability and feasibility of a comprehensive tool evaluating socioecological determinants of health in patients requiring colorectal surgery. METHODS In the first phase, a comprehensive socioecological determinant of health assessment tool was developed. A review of validated socioecological health evaluation instruments was conducted, and a 2-step modified Delphi method addressed the length, clarity, appropriateness, and redundancy of each instrument. A comprehensive tool was then finalized. In the second phase, the tool was tested for acceptability and feasibility in adult patients requiring colorectal surgery using a theory-guided framework at 3 Alabama hospitals. Relationships between survey responses and measures of acceptability and feasibility were evaluated using results from initial pilot tests of the survey. RESULTS In Phase 1, a modified Delphi process led to the development of a comprehensive tool that included 31 socioecological determinants of health (88 questions). Results of acceptability and feasibility were globally positive (>65%) for all domains. Overall, 83% of participants agreed that others would have no trouble completing the survey, 90.4% of respondents reported the survey was not burdensome, 97.6% of patients reported having enough time to complete the survey, and 80.9% agreed the survey was well-integrated into their appointment. CONCLUSION An 88-item assessment tool measuring 31 socioecological determinants of health was developed with high acceptability and feasibility for patients who required colorectal surgery. This work aids in the development of research needed to understand and address surgical disparities.

Abstract
CONTEXT Most youths who die by suicide have interfaced with a medical system in the year preceding their death, placing outpatient medical settings on the front lines for identification, assessment, and intervention. OBJECTIVE Review and consolidate the available literature on suicide risk screening and brief intervention with youths in outpatient medical settings and examine common outcomes. DATA SOURCES The literature search looked at PubMed, OVID, CINAHL, ERIC, and PsychInfo databases. STUDY SELECTION Interventions delivered in outpatient medical settings assessing and mitigating suicide risk for youths (ages 10-24). Designs included randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, and case studies. DATA EXTRACTION Authors extracted data on rates of referral to behavioral health services, initiation/adjustment of medication, follow-up in setting of assessment, suicidal ideation at follow-up, and suicide attempts and/or crisis services visited within 1 year of initial assessment. RESULTS There was no significant difference in subsequent suicide attempts between intervention and control groups. Analysis on subsequent crisis service could not be performed due to lack of qualifying data. Key secondary findings were decreased immediate psychiatric hospitalizations and increased mental health service use, along with mild improvement in subsequent depressive symptoms. LIMITATIONS The review was limited by the small number of studies meeting inclusion criteria, as well as a heterogeneity of study designs and risk of bias across studies. CONCLUSIONS Brief suicide interventions for youth in outpatient medical settings can increase identification of risk, increase access to behavioral health services, and for crisis interventions, can limit psychiatric hospitalizations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient engagement technologies (PETs) guide patients through the perioperative period. We aimed to investigate the levels of patient engagement with PETs through the peri-operative period and its impact on clinical outcomes. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery from 2018 to 2022. Outcomes were length of stay, readmissions, and complications within 30 days of index hospitalization. RESULTS 359 (89.1%) patients activated the PET. Patients completed a median of 7 surveys, 2 in-hospital health-checks, and 1 post-discharge health-check. Median LOS was 3 days, 57 (14.1%) patients were readmitted, and 56 (13.9%) had a complication. Patients who completed no surveys had longer LOS than those who completed 2 or more. Patients who were readmitted and had post-operative complications completed significantly fewer surveys and post-discharge health-checks. Completion of surveys in more phases was associated with shorter LOS and lower readmission rates. Completion of more post-discharge health-checks was associated with lower complication rate. CONCLUSIONS The use of PETs improves patient outcomes and experiences in the perioperative period. Patients who engage more frequently with PETs have shorter LOS with lower readmission and post-operative complication rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

[PMID: 37749204 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10413-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Acquisition of Data for Outcomes and Procedure Transfer (ADOPT) program was established by SAGES to develop and expand individual surgeon's comfort with specific, complex operations using hands-on teaching and longitudinal mentoring. The 2022-2023 Foregut (Dominating the Hiatus) section of the course focused on hiatal hernia dissection and gastric fundoplication techniques. Our aim was to describe the experience of surgeons who participated in the course. METHODS The hands-on component occurred in March 2022 at the SAGES annual meeting. Each expert mentor was matched to two participants. The mentors guided the surgeons through steps of a laparoscopic paraesophageal (PEH) hernia repair and fundoplication using a cadaveric model. Afterwards, monthly group webinars occurred and participants could receive individual coaching from their assigned mentor for a year. Each participant was given a pre-course survey with 3 and 12-month follow-up questionnaires. RESULTS The majority of the 16 participants were employed in non-academic settings (87.5%). Years in practice ranged from 1 to 26, and 69% completed a fellowship. 100% completed the pre-course survey, and 53.8% responded to the 12-month post-course survey. Participant-reported effectiveness in performing a PEH hernia repair with fundoplication increased from 37.5% pre-course to 85.7% by the conclusion of the course. Confidence levels for the six core steps of the operation also increased: pre-course only 56-75% were confident with each step, this improved to 100% in four out of six steps. 85.7% said the course has changed their practice. DISCUSSION Since inception, the ADOPT program has aimed to provide expert instruction for practicing surgeons to learn new techniques or improve their confidence in performing operations. The data for the 2022 ADOPT Foregut course shows that 1 year of participation made a positive impact on these surgeons' practices. This helps to fill in the learning gap that occurs after formal surgical training ends.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Umbilical catheter malposition rate is high. We compared a Novel Umbilical Securement Device (NUSD) to standard methodologies for neonatal invasive care unit patients undergoing laparotomy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study was performed on infants undergoing laparotomy from April 2019 to January 2023. Two neonatologists compared position of umbilical arterial catheter/umbilical venous catheter (UVC) on perioperative chest X-ray (CXRs) in patients with or without NUSD. RESULTS Eighteen patients underwent laparotomy, of which 8 patients had NUSD (9 lines) and 10 patients did not (14 lines). In NUSD group, mean gestational age was 37 ± 4 weeks and mean birth weight was 2.3 ± 0.9 kg compared with 31 ± 8 weeks and 2.1 ± 1.4 kg in non-NUSD group, respectively. The mean age at surgery was 5 ± 7 and 5 ± 3 days, respectively. No malposition was seen in NUSD group, while 57% of UVCs (28% of lines) were malpositioned postoperatively in non-NUSD group (p = 0.048). CONCLUSION NUSD is an umbilical catheter securement device with low malposition rate, specifically during perioperative period with heightened risk for dislodgement. KEY POINTS · Umbilical catheters provide reliable access for neonates but have a high rate of malpositioning.. · NUSD is an umbilical catheter securement device with low malposition rate.. · NUSD can be kept in place during laparotomy and can decrease the risk of malpositioning..

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) reduce racial disparities in surgical outcomes for general colorectal surgery populations. It is unclear, however, if disparities in IBD populations are impacted by ERPs. METHODS Retrospective study comparing IBD patients undergoing major elective colorectal operations before (2006-2014) and after (2015-2021) ERP implementation using ACS-NSQIP data. The primary outcome of length of stay (LOS) was analyzed by negative binomial regression, and secondary outcomes (complications and readmissions) by logistic regression. RESULTS Of 466 IBD patients, 47% were pre-ERP and 53% were ERP patients. In multivariable analysis stratified by ERP period, Black race was associated with increased odds of complications in the pre-ERP (OR 3.6, 95%CI 1.4-9.3) and ERP groups (OR 3.1 95%CI 1.3-7.6). Race was not a predictor of LOS or readmission in either group. High social vulnerability was associated with increased odds of readmission pre-ERP (OR 15.1, 95%CI 2.1-136.3), but this disparity was mitigated under ERPs (OR 1.4, 95%CI 0.4-5.6). CONCLUSION While ERPs mitigated some disparities by social vulnerability, racial disparities persist in IBD populations even under ERPs. Further work is needed to achieve surgical equity for IBD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor diet quality is an important risk factor for increased asthma prevalence and poor asthma control. To address the question of whether adults with asthma can benefit from following a healthy diet, this trial will test the efficacy and mechanisms of action of a behavioral intervention promoting the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern with sodium reduction among patients with uncontrolled asthma. METHODS In this 2-arm randomized clinical trial, 320 racially/ethnically and socioeconomically diverse adults with uncontrolled asthma on standard controller therapy will be randomized to either a control or an intervention group and assessed at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months. Control and intervention participants will receive education on lung health, asthma, and other general health topics; additionally, the intervention group will receive DASH behavioral counseling over 12 months. The primary hypothesis is that the DASH behavioral intervention, compared with the education-only control, will lead to significantly more participants with minimum clinically important improvement (responders) in asthma-specific quality of life at 12 months. Secondary hypotheses will test the intervention effects on other asthma (e.g., asthma control, lung function) and non-asthma outcomes (e.g., quality of life). Additionally, therapeutic (e.g., short chain fatty acids, cytokines) and nutritional biomarkers (e.g., dietary inflammatory index, carotenoids) will be assessed to understand the mechanisms of the intervention effect. CONCLUSION This trial can substantially advance asthma care by providing rigorous evidence on the benefits of a behavioral dietary intervention and mechanistic insights into the role of diet quality in asthma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tumor-associated macrophages are present within neuroblastoma, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) can polarize macrophages into cancer-inhibiting M1 type. We hypothesize that treating neuroblastoma with interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) can suppress tumor growth, and the concurrent treatment with IFN-γ and vincristine can lead to enhanced tumor killing as compared to vincristine alone. METHODS We loaded IFN-γ or vincristine into silk biomaterials and recorded the amount released over time. Orthotopic, syngeneic neuroblastoma xenografts were generated by injecting 9464D cells into adrenal gland of C57BL/6 mice, and IFN-γ-loaded and/or vincristine-loaded silk biomaterials were implanted into the tumor once the tumors reached 100 mm3. Drug release at different timepoints was measured and tumor growth after different treatments were compared. RESULTS 1-2% of IFN-γ and 70% of vincristine were released from the biomaterials by the fifth day. Combining IFN-γ and vincristine significantly slowed tumor growth as compared to the controls (12.2 ± 2.7 days to reach 800 mm3 versus 5.7 ± 1.2 days, p = 0.01), and IFN-γ alone also delayed tumor growth as compared to the controls (10.9 ± 1.5 days versus 5.7 ± 1.2 days, p = 0.001). Hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated tumor necrosis adjacent to the drug-loaded silk biomaterials. CONCLUSION Local delivery of sustained release IFN-γ can inhibit neuroblastoma tumor growth by itself and in combination with vincristine.

Abstract
Globally, government enforced lockdowns were one measure introduced to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. The impact of these social movement restrictions on victims of sexual assault and their access of sexual assault services needed clarity. This study aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on: Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC) attendance; characteristics of clients; characteristics of alleged perpetrators and nature of sexual assaults. Routinely collected data from the Saint Mary's SARC in the North West of England over two financial years, April 2019-March 2020 (pre-COVID-19) and April 2020-March 2021 (during COVID-19), were analysed. Compared to the pre COVID-19 year, monthly SARC attendance for children and adults decreased during national lockdowns and increased as restrictions lifted. Ethnicity of clients was significantly different during COVID-19 with more South Asian adults and more bi-racial children attending. Attendance of adults aged over 57 years also significantly increased during COVID-19. A significant increase in adults meeting alleged perpetrators online and a significant decrease in alleged perpetrators being a sex worker client were also identified. Finally, a significant increase in not-recorded data for health characteristics of adult and child clients was noted. While this study has illuminated some changes in the vulnerability profile of clients attending SARC during COVID-19 and its associated lockdowns, it has also highlighted shortcomings in changes to usual care introduced in the challenging and changing context of a global pandemic. These findings in parallel usefully recommend areas in need of service improvement.

Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) improve outcomes, but over 20 % of patients fail ERP and the contribution of social vulnerability is unknown. This study aimed to characterize the association between social vulnerability and ERP adherence and failure. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of colorectal surgery patients between 2015 and 2020 utilizing ACS-NSQIP data. Patients who failed ERP (LOS > 6 days) were compared to patients not failing ERP. The CDC's social vulnerability index (SVI) was used to assess social vulnerability. Result 273 of 1191 patients (22.9 %) failed ERP. SVI was a significant predictor of ERP failure (OR 4.6, 95 % CI 1.3-16.8) among those with >70 % ERP component adherence. SVI scores were significantly higher among patients non-adherent with 3 key ERP components: preoperative block (0.58 vs. 0.51, p < 0.01), early diet (0.57 vs. 0.52, p = 0.04) and early foley removal (0.55 vs. 0.50, p < 0.01). Conclusions Higher social vulnerability was associated with non-adherence to 3 key ERP components as well as ERP failure among those who were adherent with >70 % of ERP components. Social vulnerability needs to be recognized, addressed, and included in efforts to further improve ERPs. Key message Social vulnerability is associated with non-adherence to enhanced recovery components and ERP failure among those with high ERP adherence. Social vulnerability needs to be addressed in efforts to improve ERPs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association of patient-level characteristics on the use of a patient engagement technology during the perioperative period. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA As implementation of patient engagement technologies continues to grow, it remains unclear who uses, and not uses, these technologies. Existing literature suggests significant disparities in usage of other technologies by patient age, race, sex, and geographic location, however, have yet to characterize patient usage of patient engagement technologies. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing elective surgery by a colorectal surgeon between January 2018 and March 2020 who enrolled in a patient engagement technology at a single institution. Patients enrolled received educational content, healthcare reminders, patient reported outcome (PRO) surveys, and health checks preoperatively, in-hospital, and for 30-days postdischarge. The primary outcome was patient activation of the patient engagement technology. Secondary outcomes were completion of at least 1 PRO survey, 1 in-hospital health check, and 1 postdischarge health check. RESULTS Of 549 patients who enrolled in the patient engagement technology, 473 (86.2%) activated. On multivariable stepwise regression, female patients [odds ratio (OR) 2.4, confidence interval (CI) 1.4-4.0, P = 0.001] and privately insured patients (OR 2.0, CI 1.1-3.8, P = 0.03) were more likely to activate. Black patients were less likely to activate (OR 0.5, CI 0.3-0.9, P = 0.02). Once activated, privately insured patients were more likely to complete PRO surveys (OR 2.3, CI 1.2-4.3, P = 0.01), in-hospital health checks (OR 2.4, CI 1.4-4.1, P = 0.002), and postdischarge health checks (OR 1.9, CI 1.1 -3.3, P < 0.001) than uninsured patients. Black patients were less likely to complete PRO surveys (OR 0.4, CI 0.3-0.7, P = 0.001) and in-hospital health checks (OR 0.6, CI 0.4-0.9, P = 0.03) than White patients. CONCLUSIONS Use of a patient engagement technology in the perioperative period differs significantly by sex, race/ethnicity, and insurance status. These technologies may not be used equally by all patients, which should be considered during implementation of interventions to improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
The enantiomeric cationic lipid R-DOTAP nanoparticle platform (Versamune®) was reported (Gandhapudi et. al. 2019, J. Immunol.) to promote cross presentation of multi-epitope human papilloma virus (HPV) antigens and upregulation of Type I interferons, leading to induction of high levels of antigen-specific cytolytic polyfuctional CD8+ T-cells in vivo and complete regression of TC-1 tumors in preclinical models. In two ongoing Phase 2 human clinical trials (ASCO 2022), the early data in a group of the first 60 patients receiving PDS0101 (Versamune® plus HPV16 peptide mix) and who had previously failed standard of care suggests translation of the established mechanism of action into humans resulting in the induction of tumor-specific, clinically effective immune responses. In refractory and difficult-to-treat HPV-related cancers, improved patient survival and tumor shrinkage has been demonstrated. In this study we demonstrate expansion of the Versamune® platform to the treatment of non-viral associated cancers. We have developed Versamune® based drug formulations containing novel multi-epitope peptide sequences of the TARP (T-Cell receptor gamma chain Alternate Reading frame Protein) antigen expressed in 100% of adult and pediatric AML (acute myelogenous leukemia), over 90% of prostate cancers and over 50% of breast cancers. We have also developed Versamune® based drug formulations containing modified sequences of novel Mucin 1 oncoprotein (MUC1) agonist peptide antigens that are over expressed in multiple solid tumors. Using humanized HLA-A2 transgenic mice, we show that the Versamune® platform similarly promotes cross presentation of the non-viral antigens resulting in equally high levels of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cells as observed with HPV. These data demonstrate superior immunogenicity in breadth and potency of vaccine-induced immune responses, supporting progression of the targeted T-cell immunotherapies into human clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with limited health literacy (HL) have difficulty understanding written/verbal information. The quality of verbal communication is not well understood. Therefore, our aim was to characterize patient-surgeon conversations and identify opportunities for improvement. METHODS New colorectal patient-surgeon encounters were audio-recorded and transcribed. HL was measured. Primary outcomes were rates-of-speech, understandability of words, patient-reported understanding, and usage of medical jargon/statistics. Secondary outcomes included length-of-visit (LOV), conversation possession time, patient-surgeon exchanges, and speech interruptions. RESULTS Significant variations existed between surgeons in rates-of-speech and understandability of words (p < 0.05). Faster rates-of-speech were associated with significantly less understandable words (p < 0.05). Patient-reported understanding varied by HL and by surgeon. Conversation possession time and usage of medical jargon/statistics varied significantly by surgeon (p < 0.05) in addition to patient-surgeon exchanges and interruptions. Patients with limited HL had shorter LOV. CONCLUSIONS Significant variations exist in how surgeons talk to patients. Opportunities to improve verbal communication include slowing speech and using more understandable words.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective study compares a multidisciplinary clinic (MDC) to standard care for time to treatment of colorectal cancer. METHODS We queried our institutional ACS-NSQIP database for patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer from 2017 to 2020. Patients were stratified by initial clinic visit (MDC vs control). Primary endpoint was the time to start treatment (TST), either neoadjuvant therapy or surgery, from the date of diagnosis by colonoscopy. RESULTS A total of 405 patients were evaluated (115 MDC, 290 Control). TST from diagnosis was not significantly shorter for the MDC cohort (MDC 30 days, Control 37 days; p = 0.07) even when stratified by type of initial treatment of neoadjuvant therapy (MDC 30, Control 34 days; p = 0.28) or surgery (MDC 32.5 days, Control 38 days; p = 0.35). CONCLUSION Implementation of an MDC provides insignificant reduction in delay to start treatment for colorectal cancer patients as compared to standard care colorectal surgery clinics. CLASSIFICATION Colorectal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-risk neuroblastoma is a deadly disease; poor prognosticators are MYCN-amplification and TERT-overexpression. We hypothesized that Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) could identify pathways associated with MYCN-amplification and that inhibition of these pathways could decrease tumor growth. METHODS We analyzed the Neuroblastoma-Kocak dataset (GSE45547, n = 649) and identified pathways associated with MYCN-amplification. Inhibitors were selected from upregulated gene sets for in vitro cytotoxicity testing using ST16-patient-derived primary neuroblastoma cells and in vivo testing using orthotopic ST16-patient-derived xenografts (PDX) in mice. Tumor volume was measured with ultrasound and tumor sections examined after H&E staining. RESULTS GSEA identified significantly overexpressed gene sets in MYCN-amplified tumors including MYC targets, cell cycle mitotic genes, TERT associated genes, loss of RB1 gene sets, and E2Fs targets. Several genes were potential Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (Brd4) targets, making Brd4 inhibitors - JQ1, AZD5153 - and cyclin-dependent kinase (Brd4's binding partner) inhibitors - dinaciclib - potential therapeutic agents. JQ1 and dinaciclib were synergistic in inducing cytotoxicity in vitro. Dinaciclib-AZD5153 in vivo decreased tumor size compared to control, and increased tumor lymphocyte infiltration and necrosis on histology. CONCLUSIONS GSEA is a powerful approach to identify upregulated genes and potential therapeutic targets. Dinaciclib-AZD5153 combination therapy can be effective against MYCN-amplified and TERT-overexpressing neuroblastoma tumors.

Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE's sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The medication administration process is complex and influenced by interruptions, multi-tasking and responding to patient’s needs and is consequently prone to errors.1 Over half (54.4%) of the 237 million medication errors estimated to have occurred in England each year were found to have taken place at the administration stage and 7.6% were associated with moderate or severe harm. The implementation of a Closed Loop Medication Administration solution aims to reduce medication administration errors and prevent patient harm.
Aim
We conducted the first evaluation to assess the impact of a novel optical medication scanning device, MedEye, on the rate of medication administration errors in solid oral dosage forms.
Methods
We performed a before and after study on one ward at a tertiary-care teaching hospital that used a commercial electronic prescribing and medication administration system and was implementing MedEye (a bedside tool for stopping and preventing medication administration errors). Pre-MedEye data collection occurred between Aug-Nov 2019 and post-MedEye data collection occurred between Feb-Mar 2020. We conducted direct observations of nursing drug administration rounds before and after the MedEye implementation. Observers recorded what they observed being administered (e.g., drug name, form, strength and quantity) and compared this to what was prescribed. Errors were classified as either a ‘timing’ error, ‘omission’ error or ‘other’ error. We calculated the rate and type of medication administration errors (MAEs) before and after the MedEye implementation. A sample size calculation suggested that approximately 10,000 medication administrations were needed. Data collection was reduced due to the COVID 19 pandemic and implementation delays.
Results
Trained pharmacists or nurses observed a total of 1,069 administrations of solid oral dosage forms before and 432 after the MedEye intervention was implemented. The percentage of MAEs pre-MedEye (69.1%) and post-MedEye (69.9%) remained almost the same. Non-timing errors (combination of ‘omission’ + ‘other’ errors) reduced from 51 (4.77%) to 11 (2.55%), which had borderline significance (p=0.05) however after adjusting for confounders, significance was lost. We also saw a non-significant reduction in ‘other’ error types (e.g., dose and documentation errors) following the implementation of MedEye from 34 (3.2%) to 7 (1.62%). An observer witnessed a nurse dispense the wrong medication (prednisolone) instead of the intended medication (furosemide) in the post-MedEye period. After receiving a notification from MedEye that an unexpected medication had been dispensed, the nurse corrected the dose thus preventing an error. We also identified one instance where the nurse correctly dispensed a prescribed medication (amlodipine) but this was mistakenly identified by the MedEye scanner as another prescribed medication (metoclopramide).
Conclusions
This is the first evaluation of a novel optical medication scanning device, MedEye on the rate of MAEs in one of the largest NHS trusts in England. We found a non-statistically significant reduction in non-timing error rates. This was notable because incidents within this category e.g., dose errors, are more likely to be associated with harm compared to timing errors.2 However, further research is needed to investigate the impact of MedEye on a larger sample size and range of medications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 80% of individuals with cancer will require a surgical procedure, yet little comparative data exist on early outcomes in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared postoperative outcomes in breast, colorectal, and gastric cancer surgery in hospitals worldwide, focusing on the effect of disease stage and complications on postoperative mortality. METHODS This was a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of consecutive adult patients undergoing surgery for primary breast, colorectal, or gastric cancer requiring a skin incision done under general or neuraxial anaesthesia. The primary outcome was death or major complication within 30 days of surgery. Multilevel logistic regression determined relationships within three-level nested models of patients within hospitals and countries. Hospital-level infrastructure effects were explored with three-way mediation analyses. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03471494. FINDINGS Between April 1, 2018, and Jan 31, 2019, we enrolled 15 958 patients from 428 hospitals in 82 countries (high income 9106 patients, 31 countries; upper-middle income 2721 patients, 23 countries; or lower-middle income 4131 patients, 28 countries). Patients in LMICs presented with more advanced disease compared with patients in high-income countries. 30-day mortality was higher for gastric cancer in low-income or lower-middle-income countries (adjusted odds ratio 3·72, 95% CI 1·70-8·16) and for colorectal cancer in low-income or lower-middle-income countries (4·59, 2·39-8·80) and upper-middle-income countries (2·06, 1·11-3·83). No difference in 30-day mortality was seen in breast cancer. The proportion of patients who died after a major complication was greatest in low-income or lower-middle-income countries (6·15, 3·26-11·59) and upper-middle-income countries (3·89, 2·08-7·29). Postoperative death after complications was partly explained by patient factors (60%) and partly by hospital or country (40%). The absence of consistently available postoperative care facilities was associated with seven to 10 more deaths per 100 major complications in LMICs. Cancer stage alone explained little of the early variation in mortality or postoperative complications. INTERPRETATION Higher levels of mortality after cancer surgery in LMICs was not fully explained by later presentation of disease. The capacity to rescue patients from surgical complications is a tangible opportunity for meaningful intervention. Early death after cancer surgery might be reduced by policies focusing on strengthening perioperative care systems to detect and intervene in common complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Informed consent forms consist of large blocks of written information that may be difficult for patients to understand. Visual teaching aids are promising, however, they have not been studied as a pre-operative educational tool for common surgical procedures. We pilot tested the use of a visual teaching aid during the informed consent process for a colectomy. METHODS A randomized pilot study was performed. Participants were randomized into the visual teaching aid group or standard care. Following the consent process, participants were questioned about potential surgical complications, anxiety, satisfaction, and understanding. RESULTS 30 participants were enrolled. Potential complication recall and patient-reported understanding were improved in the visual group (p = 0.01, p = 0.03). Anxiety levels were reduced in the visual group (p = 0.02). No statistically significant data were found for satisfaction (p = 0.75). CONCLUSIONS Utilizing a visual teaching aid during the consent process for colectomy increases patient recall of risks, reduces anxiety, and improves understanding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to characterize the interactions of burnout with internal and external factors over the past 5 years for surgery residents at our institution. We hypothesized that burnout levels would be consistent among years, inversely related to emotional intelligence (EI) and job resources, and directly related to disruptive behaviors. DESIGN General surgery residents at a single institution were invited to complete a survey each year from 2015 to 2019 that included a combination of the 22-item Maslach-Burnout Inventory, 30-item trait EI questionnaire, as well as focused questions assessing disruptive behaviors (8 items), job resources (8 items), and demographic characteristics. Burnout was defined as scoring high in depersonalization (≥ 10 points) or emotional exhaustion (≥ 27 points). Student's t tests and Wilcoxon tests were used to compare continuous variables; chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare categorical variables, as appropriate. Spearman's rho was used to calculate correlation. A logistic regression and separate linear regression model were constructed to assess relation of variables to burnout. SETTING The general surgery residency program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, a large tertiary care academic center. RESULTS An average of 47 surveys were completed each year, for a total of 236 (response rate 81%). One hundred seventeen (58.5%) met criteria for burnout. Burnout rates each year ranged from 68% to 53%, with the lowest value occurring in 2019. Incidence of burnout was lowest among the postgraduate year (PGY) 1 class and highest among the PGY5 class (38% versus 64%, p = 0.02). Individuals without burnout had higher scores for EI overall (5.7 versus 5.3, p < 0.001) as well as in each of its 4 subcomponents (p < 0.001). Individuals who were subjected to disruptive behaviors, particularly others taking credit for work and public humiliation, were more likely to experience burnout (p = 0.02). Those with burnout also had significantly lower scores in each of the 4 domains of the Job Resources model (p < 0.01). On multivariate logistic regression, increasing PGY level remained a significant predictor of burnout risk. Each of the sub-domains of EI and jobs resources inversely corelated with burnout, while disruptive behaviors directly correlated with burnout. ON subsequent multivariable linear regression, resident well-being and professional development remained independent predictors of lower burnout scores. CONCLUSIONS Burnout is prevalent among trainees at our institution, but a trend toward improvement has been shown over 5 years. Burnout rates increase each year of surgical training beyond PGY2. Factors that mitigate burnout include resident well-being and professional development. Disruptive behaviors lead to increase burnout rates.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is now a well-established independent risk factor for all forms of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the cellular profile and immune mediators within EAT remain poorly defined.
Purpose
This study sought to define the immunological signature of EAT critical to its role in the development of both persistent AF and de novo post-operative AF (POAF).
Methods
Adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with no prior AF history and those with pre-existing AF were recruited to undergo EAT sampling alongside subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and pre-operative blood (adipose tissue and systemic controls respectively) sampling. The blood and tissue samples were immediately taken to the laboratory for immune cell isolation, flow cytometry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis.
Results
A total of 71 patients were recruited including 9 patients with a prior history of AF. Of the 62 a priori sinus rhythm (SR) patients, 42 remained in SR post-operatively and 20 developed de novo POAF. No differences in absolute numbers of immune cells in the blood, EAT or SAT were detected on flow cytometry analysis between the three groups of patients. However, there was a significant increase (p<0.01) in EAT-resident CD4+ memory T cell populations in pre-existing AF patients and a trend towards significance (p=0.09) in POAF patients. qPCR analysis of immune mediator expression in EAT demonstrated pre-existing AF patients uniquely showed a significant reduction (p<0.005) in the pro-fibrotic mediator transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) compared to the pre-existing AF patients (graph 1).
Conclusions and implications
Resident CD4+ memory T cell populations are locally and exclusively elevated in the EAT of pre-existing AF and POAF patients. This would suggest primed antigen-specific CD4+ T cells are present prior to the development of AF in patients who go on to develop de novo POAF. The reduced TGF-β levels observed in the EAT of AF patients indicates the EAT immune mediator profile differs to the underlying myocardial tissue, where increased TGF-β levels have previously been described in the persistent AF cohort. Therapies targeting this EAT-resident CD4+ T cell population would provide a novel approach to the management of the inflammatory components of AF genesis.

Abstract
Although immune-mediated therapies have been used in genitourinary (gu) malignancies for decades, recent advances with monoclonal antibody checkpoint inhibitors (cpis) have led to a number of promising treatment options. In renal cell carcinoma (rcc), cpis have been shown to have benefit over conventional therapies in a number of settings, and they are the standard of care for many patients with metastatic disease. Based on recent data, combinations of cpis and antiangiogenic therapies are likely to become a new standard approach in rcc. In urothelial carcinoma, cpis have been shown to have a role in the second-line treatment of metastatic disease, and a number of clinical trials are actively investigating cpis for other indications. In other gu malignancies, such as prostate cancer, results to date have been less promising. Immunotherapies continue to be an area of active study for all gu disease sites, with several clinical trials ongoing. In this review, we summarize the current evidence for cpi use in rcc, urothelial carcinoma, prostate cancer, testicular germ-cell tumours, and penile carcinoma. Ongoing clinical trials of interest are highlighted, as are the challenges that clinicians and patients will potentially face as immune cpis become a prominent feature in the treatment of gu cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are associated with significantly longer hospital length-of-stay and increased costs.1 This study investigates the effect of early removal of urinary catheters on POUR and CAUTI in patients undergoing an ERP with a preoperative intrathecal injection. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery in an Enhanced Recovery pathway was compared to historical National Surgical Quality Improvement Program cohort of patients. Primary outcomes measured are 30-day POUR and postoperative CAUTI rates. RESULTS The overall POUR rate of ERP patients compared to non-ERP patients was significantly less (8% vs. 13%, p < 0.05). CAUTI rates were not significantly different between pre-ERP and ERP patients (1.2 vs 2.3%, p = 0.19). CONCLUSIONS For patients undergoing ERP with a preoperative intrathecal opioid injection, early removal of urinary catheter significantly decreased POUR and did not significantly affect CAUTI rates. SUMMARY The effect of early removal of urinary catheters on postoperative urinary retention and catheter-associated UTI rates in patients undergoing an ERP with a single preoperative intrathecal opioid injection was studied. Early urinary catheter removal after intrathecal injection was associated with decreased rates of POUR and equivalent CAUTI rates.

Abstract
Background Diagnosis and treatment of renal cell carcinoma (rcc) might be different in Indigenous Canadians than in non-Indigenous Canadians. In this cohort study, we compared rcc presentation and treatments in Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. Methods Patients registered in the Canadian Kidney Cancer Information System treated at 16 institutions between 2011 and 2018 were included. Baseline patient, tumour, and treatment characteristics were compared between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. The primary objective was to determine if differences in rcc stage at diagnosis were evident between the groups. The secondary objective was to determine if treatments and outcomes were different between the groups. Results During the study period, 105 of the 4529 registered patients self-identified as Indigenous. Those patients were significantly younger at the time of clinical diagnosis (57.9 ± 11.3 years vs. 62.0 ± 12.1 years, p = 0.0006) and had a family history prevalence of rcc that was double the prevalence in the non-Indigenous patients (14% vs. 7%, p = 0.004). Clinical stage at diagnosis was similar in the two groups (p = 0.61). The disease was metastatic at presentation in 11 Indigenous Canadians (10%) and in 355 non-Indigenous Canadians (8%). Comorbid conditions that could affect the management of rcc-such as obesity, renal disease, diabetes mellitus, and smoking-were more common in Indigenous Canadians (p < 0.05). Indigenous Canadians experienced a lower rate of active surveillance (p = 0.01). Treatments and median time to treatments were similar in the two groups. Conclusions Compared with their non-Indigenous counterparts, Indigenous Canadian patients with rcc are diagnosed at an earlier age and at a similar clinical stage. Despite higher baseline comorbid conditions, clinical outcomes are not worse for Indigenous Canadians than for non-Indigenous Canadians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is understood of the molecular mechanisms involved in the earliest cell fate decision in human development, leading to the establishment of the trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM) stem cell population. Notably, there is a lack of understanding of how transcriptional networks arise during reorganisation of the embryonic genome post-fertilisation. RESULTS We identified a hierarchical structure of preimplantation gene network modules around the time of embryonic genome activation (EGA). Using network models along with eukaryotic initiation factor (EIF) and epigenetic-associated gene expression we defined two sets of blastomeres that exhibited diverging tendencies towards ICM or TE. Analysis of the developmental networks demonstrated stage specific EIF expression and revealed that histone modifications may be an important epigenetic regulatory mechanism in preimplantation human embryos. Comparison to published RNAseq data confirmed that during EGA the individual 8-cell blastomeres are transcriptionally primed for the first lineage decision in development towards ICM or TE. CONCLUSIONS Using multiple systems biology approaches to compare developmental stages in the early human embryo with single cell transcript data from blastomeres, we have shown that blastomeres considered to be totipotent are not transcriptionally equivalent. Furthermore we have linked the developmental interactome to individual blastomeres and to later cell lineage. This has clinical implications for understanding the impact of fertility treatments and developmental programming of long term health.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to review and describe indications for intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) use and identify the impact these have on outcomes at an Australian cardiothoracic tertiary referral hospital. A secondary aim was comparison of the Australian practice with a large multinational IABP data registry. Patient demographics, IABP indication, IABP complication rate and mortality in 662 patients treated with IABP at The Prince Charles Hospital (TPCH), Brisbane, between January 1994 and December 2004 inclusive were compared with The Benchmark Counterpulsation Outcomes Registry. Data were collected between 1994 and 2000 by retrospective patient record review and prospectively using the Benchmark database from 2001 to 2004. Statistical analysis was undertaken usingSAS (v8.2) software. The mean age of patients managed with IABP at TPCH (71.6% male) was 63.4 years (SD 12.4). In-hospital mortality rate was 22% and the complication rate was 10.3%. TPCH indications for IABP were: weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (34.2%); cardiogenic shock (24.4%); preoperative support (13%); catheter laboratory support (10.6%); refractory ventricular failure (7.3%); ischaemia related to intractable ventricular arrhythmias (4.5%); unstable refractory angina (4%); mechanical complications due to acute myocardial infarction (1.2%) and other (0.4%) (0.4% not reported). In comparison to Benchmark, IABP at TPCH demonstrated a prejudice toward intraoperative use (34.2% versus 16.6%; P= <0.0001) and an aversion to catheter laboratory support (10.6% versus 19%; P= <0.0001). TPCH and Benchmark IABP outcomes demonstrated comparable mortality (22% versus 20.8%; P=ns) but increased TPCH complications (10.3% vs. 6.2%; P= <0.0001) owing to a 2% difference in observed insertion site bleeding.

Abstract
Introduction Outside of randomized controlled clinical trials, the understanding of the effectiveness and costs associated with targeted therapies for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mrcc) is limited in Canada. The purpose of the present study was to use real-world prospective data to assess the effectiveness and cost of targeted therapies for patients with mrcc. Methods The Canadian Kidney Cancer Information System, a pan-Canadian database, was used to identify prospectively collected data relating to patients with mrcc. First- and subsequent-line time to treatment termination (ttt) was determined from therapy initiation time (sunitinib or pazopanib) to discontinuation of therapy. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate the unadjusted and adjusted overall survival (os) by treatment. Unit treatment cost was used to estimate the cost by line of treatment and the total cost of therapy for the management of patients with mrcc. Results The study included 475 patients receiving sunitinib or pazopanib in the first-line setting. Patients were treated mostly with sunitinib (81%); 19% of patients were treated with pazopanib. The median ttt in the first line was 7.7 months for patients receiving sunitinib and 4.6 months for those receiving pazopanib (p < 0.001). The adjusted os was 32 months with sunitinib and 21 months with pazopanib (hazard ratio: 1.61; p < 0.01). The total median cost of first- and second-line treatments was $56,476 (interquartile range: $23,738-$130,447) for patients in the sunitinib group and $46,251 (interquartile range: $28,167-$91,394) for those in the pazopanib group. Conclusions For the two therapies, os differed significantly, with a higher median os being observed in the sunitinib group. The cost of treatment was higher in the sunitinib group, which is to be expected with longer survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Research indicates that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) are at increased risk of cancer and early death. Family data may provide insights given DM1 phenotypic heterogeneity, the broad range of non-muscular manifestations and the usual delays in the diagnosis of DM1. METHOD Family history data were collected from 397 genetically and/or clinically confirmed DM1 patients (respondents) enrolled in the US or UK myotonic dystrophy registries. Standardized mortality ratios were calculated for DM1 first-degree relatives (parents, siblings and offspring) by their reported DM1 status (affected, unaffected or unknown). For cancer-related analyses, mixed effects logistic regression models were used to evaluate factors associated with cancer development in DM1 families, including familial clustering. RESULTS A total of 467 deaths and 337 cancers were reported amongst 1737 first-degree DM1 relatives. Mortality risk amongst relatives reported as DM1-unaffected was comparable to that of the general population [standardized mortality ratio (SMR) 0.82, P = 0.06], whilst significantly higher mortality risks were noted in DM1-affected relatives (SMR = 2.47, P < 0.0001) and in those whose DM1 status was unknown (SMR = 1.60, P < 0.0001). In cancer risk analyses, risk was higher amongst families in which the DM1 respondent had cancer (odds ratio 1.95, P = 0.0001). Unknown DM1 status in the siblings (odds ratio 2.59, P = 0.004) was associated with higher cancer risk. CONCLUSION There is an increased risk of death, and probably cancer, in relatives with DM1 and in those whose DM1 status is unknown. This suggests a need to perform a careful history and physical examination, supplemented by genetic testing, to identify family members at risk for DM1 and who might benefit from disease-specific clinical care and surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pooled AB serum is often used as a media supplement for cell culture but it has the potential to transmit infectious diseases. To avoid this risk, we used autologous plasma as a media supplement for manufacturing dendritic cells (DCs) for cancer immunotherapy. We noticed inconsistencies in the DCs and investigated their nature and cause. METHODS Adenovirus human epidural growth factor receptor 2 (adHER2/neu) DCs for 21 patients were manufactured from autologous peripheral blood monocytes that were treated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL)-4 for 3 days, transduced with Ad5f35HER2ECTM and then treated with lipopolysaccharide and interferon (IFN)-γ for 1 day. The cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with either 10% heat inactivated autologous or AB plasma. RESULTS Twenty-eight adHER2/neu DCs were manufactured for 21 patients using autologous plasma and 68 were manufactured for 20 of those patients using AB plasma. The expression of human epidural growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) was less for DCs manufactured with autologous plasma (70.3 ± 33.3% versus 86.1 ± 22.8%; P <0.01). Manufacturing adHER2/neu DCs using monocytes from three healthy subjects and plasma from one patient with low HER2/neu expression (18%) resulted in low HER2/neu expression by all three DCs (13%, 16% and 23%). Analysis of the levels of 1322 proteins in eight plasma samples associated with low HER2/neu expression and in 12 associated with high HER2/neu expression revealed that the levels of 14 predicted HER2/neu transduction efficiency. CONCLUSION The manufacture of adHER2/neu DC using autologous plasma as a media supplement resulted in inconsistent HER2/neu expression. It is likely that variability in the levels of multiple proteins in autologous plasma contributed to low HER2/neu expression.
