Abstract
BACKGROUND The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development ™ Study (ABCD Study®) is an open-science, multi-site, prospective, longitudinal study following over 11,800 9- and 10-year-old youth into early adulthood. The ABCD Study aims to prospectively examine the impact of substance use (SU) on neurocognitive and health outcomes. Although SU initiation typically occurs during teen years, relatively little is known about patterns of SU in children younger than 12. METHODS This study aims to report the detailed ABCD Study® SU patterns at baseline (n = 11,875) in order to inform the greater scientific community about cohort's early SU. Along with a detailed description of SU, we ran mixed effects regression models to examine the association between early caffeine and alcohol sipping with demographic factors, externalizing symptoms and parental history of alcohol and substance use disorders (AUD/SUD). PRIMARY RESULTS At baseline, the majority of youth had used caffeine (67.6 %) and 22.5 % reported sipping alcohol (22.5 %). There was little to no reported use of other drug categories (0.2 % full alcohol drink, 0.7 % used nicotine, <0.1 % used any other drug of abuse). Analyses revealed that total caffeine use and early alcohol sipping were associated with demographic variables (p's<.05), externalizing symptoms (caffeine p = 0002; sipping p = .0003), and parental history of AUD (sipping p = .03). CONCLUSIONS ABCD Study participants aged 9-10 years old reported caffeine use and alcohol sipping experimentation, but very rare other SU. Variables linked with early childhood alcohol sipping and caffeine use should be examined as contributing factors in future longitudinal analyses examining escalating trajectories of SU in the ABCD Study cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In allergic rhinitis, a relevant outcome providing information on the effectiveness of interventions is needed. In MASK-air (Mobile Airways Sentinel Network), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for work is used as a relevant outcome. This study aimed to assess the performance of the work VAS work by comparing VAS work with other VAS measurements and symptom-medication scores obtained concurrently. METHODS All consecutive MASK-air users in 23 countries from 1 June 2016 to 31 October 2018 were included (14 189 users; 205 904 days). Geolocalized users self-assessed daily symptom control using the touchscreen functionality on their smart phone to click on VAS scores (ranging from 0 to 100) for overall symptoms (global), nose, eyes, asthma and work. Two symptom-medication scores were used: the modified EAACI CSMS score and the MASK control score for rhinitis. To assess data quality, the intra-individual response variability (IRV) index was calculated. RESULTS A strong correlation was observed between VAS work and other VAS. The highest levels for correlation with VAS work and variance explained in VAS work were found with VAS global, followed by VAS nose, eye and asthma. In comparison with VAS global, the mCSMS and MASK control score showed a lower correlation with VAS work. Results are unlikely to be explained by a low quality of data arising from repeated VAS measures. CONCLUSIONS VAS work correlates with other outcomes (VAS global, nose, eye and asthma) but less well with a symptom-medication score. VAS work should be considered as a potentially useful AR outcome in intervention studies.

Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) is a global pandemic, and the cause of the greater health expenditure on hospitalization.
Purpose
To determine, in patients admitted due to decompensated heart failure (dHF), the predictors of in-hospital and late all-cause mortality.
Methods
Retrospective and longitudinal observational study of consecutive patients admitted with a diagnosis of dHF in a General Hospital between 2000–2015. Primary objective was in-hospital and late mortality.
Results
A total of 3705 patients were included (76.9 + 10.1 years, 54.1% women). Diabetes was present in 1611 (43.5%) patients, hypertension in 3210 (86.6%), active smoking in 221 (6%), COPD in 989 (26.7%), neoplasms in 415 (11.2%), chronic renal failure (CRF) in 628 (17%), previous myocardial infarction (pMI) in 449 (12.1%), stroke in 416 (11.2%), previous heart failure (pHF) in 1015 (27.4%), atrial fibrillation in 1672 (45.1%). A total of 239 (6.5%) lived in a nursing home (NH). The rate of 6-months readmission due to heart failure was 473 (12.8%). The in-hospital all-cause mortality rate was 9.3% (345). During a median follow-up of 930 days (RI 230–2611), 2165 (58.4%) patients died.
The following variables were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality (Odds ratio, 95% CI): age 1.03 (1.02–1.05), basal creatinine 1.18 (1.01–1.39) and urea 1.014 (1.011–1.018) (model AUC 0.78 (0.75–0.81)). We identified the following predictors of late mortality (Hazard ratio, 95% CI): age 1,029 (1,022–1,035), diabetes mellitus 1,13 (1,02–1,25), COPD 1,15 (1,03–1,28), neoplasms 1,17 (1,008–1,361), pMI 1.19 (1.02–1.38), pHF 1.25 (1.12–1.39), NH 1.24 (1.03–1.49), readmission 1.73 (1.51–1.97), urea 1.003 (1.001–1.005) (model AUC 0.73 (0.71–0.75)).
Conclusions
In-hospital mortality was significantly associated with age and markers of renal function, while for late mortality the predictors were comorbidities, hospital readmissions and living in a nursing home.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) is considered to be one of the few curative treatments available for early stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) is the most-used biomarker for HCC despite low sensitivity and specificity. Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) has been considered to be involved in the process of vascular invasion of the malignant cells. The objective of this study was to assess the use of MMP-1 for the management of HCC patients for LT. METHODS Levels in serum of MMP-1 (ng/mL) and AFP (ng/mL) were assessed in 20 HCC patients (Milan criteria) before and 1, 6, and 12 months after LT. RESULTS There was a strong significant correlation between levels of MMP-1 and levels of AFP (ρ = .954; P ≤ .05). There were statistical differences in the levels of MMP-1 and APF between the pre-transplantation and post-transplantation groups (1 and 12 months). Increments of both markers 6 months after LT compared with the levels 1 month after LT were detected in 4 of the 20 HCC patients. The detection of recurrence by means of imaging was coincident with the increment of both markers 6 months after LT in 3 of those 4 patients. CONCLUSIONS After 12 months of follow-up, levels of MMP-1 were comparable to AFP levels after LT. Levels of both markers increase 6 months after LT in patients showing recurrence, indicating discriminatory power to predict relapse and thus serving as valuable markers for HCC monitoring. MMP-1 could be useful in the management of HCC after LT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimorbidity in allergic airway diseases is well known, but no data exist about the daily dynamics of symptoms and their impact on work. To better understand this, we aimed to assess the presence and control of daily allergic multimorbidity (asthma, conjunctivitis, rhinitis) and its impact on work productivity using a mobile technology, the Allergy Diary. METHODS We undertook a 1-year prospective observational study in which 4 210 users and 32 585 days were monitored in 19 countries. Five visual analogue scales (VAS) assessed the daily burden of the disease (i.e., global evaluation, nose, eyes, asthma and work). Visual analogue scale levels <20/100 were categorized as "Low" burden and VAS levels ≥50/100 as "High" burden. RESULTS Visual analogue scales global measured levels assessing the global control of the allergic disease were significantly associated with allergic multimorbidity. Eight hypothesis-driven patterns were defined based on "Low" and "High" VAS levels. There were <0.2% days of Rhinitis Low and Asthma High or Conjunctivitis High patterns. There were 5.9% days with a Rhinitis High-Asthma Low pattern. There were 1.7% days with a Rhinitis High-Asthma High-Conjunctivitis Low pattern. A novel Rhinitis High-Asthma High-Conjunctivitis High pattern was identified in 2.9% days and had the greatest impact on uncontrolled VAS global measured and impaired work productivity. Work productivity was significantly correlated with VAS global measured levels. CONCLUSIONS In a novel approach examining daily symptoms with mobile technology, we found considerable intra-individual variability of allergic multimorbidity including a previously unrecognized extreme pattern of uncontrolled multimorbidity.

Abstract
Mobile technology has been used to appraise allergic rhinitis control, but more data are needed. To better assess the importance of mobile technologies in rhinitis control, the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) score ranging from 0 to 4 of the Allergy Diary was compared with EQ-5D (EuroQuol) and WPAI-AS (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment in allergy) in 1288 users in 18 countries. This study showed that quality-of-life data (EQ-5D visual analogue scale and WPA-IS Question 9) are similar in users without rhinitis and in those with mild rhinitis (scores 0-2). Users with a score of 3 or 4 had a significant impairment in quality-of-life questionnaires.

Abstract
Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are the most common class of bacterial protein toxins and constitute important bacterial virulence factors. The mode of action of PFT is starting to be better understood. In contrast, little is known about the cellular response to this threat. Recent studies reveal that cells do not just swell and lyse, but are able to sense and react to pore formation, mount a defense, even repair the damaged membrane and thus survive. These responses involve a variety of signal-transduction pathways and sophisticated cellular mechanisms such as the pathway regulating lipid metabolism. In this review we discuss the different classes of bacterial PFTs and their modes of action, and provide examples of how the different bacteria use PFTs. Finally, we address the more recent field dealing with the eukaryotic cell response to PFT-induced damage.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and diagnostic yield of bedside bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) combined with fibrescopic transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) in determining the aetiology of pulmonary infiltrates in mechanically ventilated patients. The records of 38 mechanically ventilated patients who underwent BAL/TBLB to investigate unexplained pulmonary infiltrates were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: immunocompetent (group 1: n = 22; group 1a: n = 11, late acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); group 1b: n = 11, no ARDS) and immunocompromised (group 2, n=16). The procedure allowed a diagnosis in 28 patients (74%), inducing therapeutic modification in 24 (63%) and confirmation of clinical diagnosis in four (11%). In groups 1a, 1b and 2, diagnosis was obtained in 11 out of 11 (fibroproliferation), seven out of 11 and 10 out of 16 patients, and therapy changed in 11 out of 11 (administration of steroids), six out of 11 and seven out of 16 patients, respectively. Pneumothorax occurred in nine patients (four of group 1a), bleeding in four (<35 mL), and transient hypotension in two. No fatalities were procedure-related. Combined bronchoalveolar lavage/transbronchial lung biopsy is of diagnostic and therapeutic value in mechanically ventilated patients with unexplained pulmonary infiltrates, excluding those with late acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although complications are to be expected, the benefits of the procedure appear to exceed the risks in patients in whom a histological diagnosis is deemed necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is increasingly recognized as a cause of acute respiratory failure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treated with corticosteroids. For these patients admission in intensive care unit (ICU) is often required for life-support and mechanical ventilation. Whether this approach improves outcome is unknown. DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective study in a university hospital intensive care unit. PATIENTS Between November 1993 and December 1997, 23 COPD patients were admitted in our ICU and received antifungal agents for possible IPA. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS The clinical features and the outcome were reviewed. Diagnosis of IPA was classified as confirmed (positive lung tissue biopsy and/or autopsy) or probable (repeated isolation of Aspergillus from the airways with consistent clinical and radiological findings). Among the 23 patients treated for Aspergillus, 16 fulfilling these criteria for IPA were studied. Steroids had been administered at home to all patients but one and were increased during hospitalization in all. Twelve patients suffered a worsening of their bronchospasm precipitating acute respiratory failure. During ICU stay all patients required mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure. Although amphotericin B deoxycholate was started when IPA was suspected (0.5-1.5 mg/kg per day), all patients died in septic shock (n = 5) or in multiple-organ failure. CONCLUSIONS The poor prognosis of intubated COPD patients with IPA, in spite of antifungal treatment suggests that further studies are required to define the limits and indications for ICU management of these patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether use of the T-System (Emergency Services Consultants, Irving, TX) template-generated medical documentation system (1) decreases physician evaluation time in the emergency department, (2) increases gross billing under the 1997 Health Care Financing Administration guidelines by minimizing downcoding caused by inadequate documentation, and (3) increases physician satisfaction with the documentation process, compared with the undirected written narrative format. METHODS A prospective, randomized, unblinded, controlled, convenience trial of documentation with the T-System of ED templates versus undirected written documentation was conducted in the ED of a county-owned, university-affiliated hospital. All patients seen between the hours of 7 AM and 10 PM during a 16-day period were included. The intervention was varying the method of documentation of the emergency physician. Adequacy of randomization to the 2 documentation groups was assessed by comparing ED triage classification, patient disposition, level of training of the evaluating physician, and whether ED consultation with other services occurred. Outcome measurements included emergency physician total evaluation and treatment time, professional bill, and satisfaction, as evaluated by a questionnaire completed after the study period. The 2 documentation groups were compared by an intention-to-treat analysis and by Student's t test and the median test as appropriate. RESULTS A total of 1,228 patient encounters were included. Emergency physician total evaluation and treatment time with template-directed documentation was 4.6 minutes less than with undirected recording, a difference that was not significant (95% confidence interval [CI], -9.2 to 18.3). Gross billing was $29. 60 more per patient (95% CI, $22.20 to $37.00) with the T-System, as assessed by our hospital coders. This difference was caused by a mean.50 (95% CI,.39 to.60) higher level of evaluation and management coding. Physicians preferred the T-System (P <.0005). CONCLUSION Use of template-assisted documentation in the ED was associated with higher gross billing and physician satisfaction but no significant decrease in emergency physician total evaluation time.

Abstract
Lymphocyte response to mitogens is a habitually-used test in the evaluation of the immune system. The usual method with [3H]thymidine yields results which are difficult to interpret. In our search for an alternative, we examined the feasibility of determining T lymphocyte activation by measuring interleukin-2 receptor (CD25) expression with flow cytometry. We found a good correlation between CD25 molecule expression and the dose of phytohemagglutinin, however, there was no correlation between disintegrations per minute produced by [3H]thymidine uptake and the percentage of CD25 expressed by cells.
