Abstract
BACKGROUND Empty pelvis syndrome (EPS) is a significant source of morbidity following pelvic exenteration (PE), but is undefined. EPS outcome reporting and descriptors of radicality of PE are inconsistent; therefore, the best approaches for prevention are unknown. To facilitate future research into EPS, the aim of this study is to define a measurable core outcome set, core descriptor set and written definition for EPS. Consensus on strategies to mitigate EPS was also explored. METHOD Three-stage consensus methodology was used: longlisting with systematic review, healthcare professional event, patient engagement, and Delphi-piloting; shortlisting with two rounds of modified Delphi; and a confirmatory stage using a modified nominal group technique. This included a selection of measurement instruments, and iterative generation of a written EPS definition. RESULTS One hundred and three and 119 participants took part in the modified Delphi and consensus meetings, respectively. This encompassed international patient and healthcare professional representation with multidisciplinary input. Seventy statements were longlisted, seven core outcomes (bowel obstruction, enteroperineal fistula, chronic perineal sinus, infected pelvic collection, bowel obstruction, morbidity from reconstruction, re-intervention, and quality of life), and four core descriptors (magnitude of surgery, radiotherapy-induced damage, methods of reconstruction, and changes in volume of pelvic dead space) reached consensus-where applicable, measurement of these outcomes and descriptors was defined. A written definition for EPS was agreed. CONCLUSIONS EPS is an area of unmet research and clinical need. This study provides an agreed definition and core data set for EPS to facilitate further research.

Abstract
Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiation produces photodissociation regions (PDRs) on the surfaces of protoplanetary disks around low-mass stars, which affects planet formation within the disks. We report James Webb Space Telescope and Atacama Large Millimeter Array observations of a FUV-irradiated protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula. Emission lines are detected from the PDR; modeling their kinematics and excitation allowed us to constrain the physical conditions within the gas. We quantified the mass-loss rate induced by the FUV irradiation and found that it is sufficient to remove gas from the disk in less than a million years. This is rapid enough to affect giant planet formation in the disk.

Abstract
Interpreting diffuse intensities in electron diffraction patterns can be challenging in samples with high atomic-level complexity, as often is the case with multi-principal element alloys. For example, diffuse intensities in electron diffraction patterns from simple face-centred cubic (fcc) and related alloys have been attributed to short-range order1, medium-range order2 or a variety of different {111} planar defects, including thin twins3, thin hexagonal close-packed layers4, relrod spiking5 and incomplete ABC stacking6. Here we demonstrate that many of these diffuse intensities, including [Formula: see text]{422} and [Formula: see text]{311} in ⟨111⟩ and ⟨112⟩ selected area diffraction patterns, respectively, are due to reflections from higher-order Laue zones. We show similar features along many different zone axes in a wide range of simple fcc materials, including CdTe, pure Ni and pure Al. Using electron diffraction theory, we explain these intensities and show that our calculated intensities of projected higher-order Laue zone reflections as a function of deviation from their Bragg conditions match well with the observed intensities, proving that these intensities are universal in these fcc materials. Finally, we provide a framework for determining the nature and location of diffuse intensities that could indicate the presence of short-range order or medium-range order.

Abstract
Abstract
While the causes of postoperative hepatic dysfunction are numerous, a systematic approach involves an evaluation based on analysis of intraoperative events as well as a pattern of laboratory value abnormalities. Elevated enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) should raise suspicion for direct damage to the liver, usually through a low-flow state or via drug or immunologic damage. Bilirubinemia will likely be from disruption of the pathway of bile excretion or from an increase of heme breakdown products. Halogenated anesthetic-induced hepatitis, while a theoretical cause of postoperative liver dysfunction, might be considered a diagnosis of exclusion until other causes are investigated in the modern era.

Abstract
Abstract
Liver transplantation surgery is a life-saving treatment for people with end-stage liver disease, often with very short life expectancies. Liver transplantation has become the mainstay treatment for most causes of hepatic failure, with 8250 cases performed in the United States in 2018, and graft 1-year survival rates reaching greater than 91%. Liver transplant surgery presents the anesthesiologist with very complex hemodynamic challenges requiring constant vigilance, a plethora of advanced monitoring devices, and close collaboration with surgical colleagues. This chapter covers the recipient selection process; the stages of a transplantation surgery with specific concerns of the anesthesiologist at each stage, including the intraoperative electrolyte and hemodynamic changes; and the evaluation of postoperative graft function.

Abstract
This paper presents a mixed methods approach to understanding wellbeing in the Kilimanjaro region of northern Tanzania—a country consistently ranked by the World Happiness Report as one of the least happy in the world. A primary objective is to demonstrate how qualitative data offering bottom-up perspectives on wellbeing offer a necessary complement to quantitative self-report measures, allowing for more nuanced cultural understandings of lived experience and wellbeing that recognize diversity both globally and locally. The research contextualized responses to standardized life evaluations (including the Cantril ladder question used by the World Happiness Report) through observations and interviews along with culturally sensitive measures of emotional experience. Findings show Kilimanjaro to have more positive life evaluations than Tanzania as a whole, and significant within-region demographic variation driven particularly by lower levels of wellbeing for nonprofessional women compared with nonprofessional men and professionals. In part because such demographic groups were often unfamiliar with standardized self-report measures, it was only through interviews, case studies, and culturally sensitive reports of emotional experience that we were able to recognize the diverse and nuanced life circumstances which individuals and groups were navigating and how those circumstances interacted with wellbeing. Drawing on the example of nonprofessional women for illustration, we describe how key sociocultural factors – particularly, family stability, parenting circumstances, social relationships, and meeting life course expectations -- intersect with economic realities to create varied experiences of wellbeing. The complex picture of locally understood wellbeing that emerged from this research presents an alternative picture to global perspectives reliant on survey self-reports. It serves as a reminder of the importance of methodological choices in global wellbeing research and urges the addition of local perspectives and paradigms to inform policy and practice.

Abstract
Despite a growing understanding and stratification of medulloblastoma, it remains an aggressive childhood brain tumor with high morbidity and mortality. Multimodal genomic and epigenomic analysis has permitted the classification of medulloblastoma into four subgroups with varying biology and clinical behavior: WNT, Sonic-Hedgehog (SHH), Group 3, and Group 4. In our previously published work, Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) identified distinct tumor cell subpopulations in specific medulloblastoma groups. However, this technology is limited by its lack of architectural information. Spatial transcriptomics is a relatively new technology that permits the analysis of gene expression as it occurs within organized tissue. In our ongoing study, we utilized Visium spatial transcriptomics, integrated with scRNAseq data and immunohistochemistry, to analyze frozen samples of medulloblastomas (SHH, Group 4, and Group 3 with and without MYC amplification). In SHH in particular, we were able to identify scRNAseq populations within the geographically constricted Visium data, including SHH-C2, a population located in histologic nodules, the predominant neuronal-differentiated population SHH-C1, and progenitor populations (SHH-B1 and B2). In addition, we were able to visualize clusters not detectable by scRNAseq – a cluster lining nodules with expression of vascular endothelium marker, reticulin and M2-macrophage genes, and a novel DNA-repair cluster. In addition, Visium data permits the spatial constraint of proliferating cells, which is frequently problematic in scRNAseq, as dividing cells cluster independently. The proliferation is highest in the SHH-B2 minor progenitor population, absent in the SHH-C1 major differentiated population, and is moderate in other population including the SHH-C2 nodules. Group 3 and 4 medulloblastoma are more complex but show preliminary corroboration with scRNAseq data. In summary, Visium allows us to map subpopulations identified by scRNAseq to tumor architecture more definitively and rapidly than IHC. These novel insights advance our understanding of medulloblastoma, a critical step in improving treatment options for children with this disease.

Abstract
Living donor liver transplantation was first developed to mitigate the limited access to deceased donor organs in Asia in the 1990s. This alternative liver transplantation method has become a widely practiced and established transplantation option for adult patients suffering with end-stage liver disease, and it has successfully helped address the shortage of deceased donors. The Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia and the Korean Society of Transplantation Anesthesiologists jointly reviewed published studies on the perioperative management of adult live liver donors undergoing donor hemi-hepatectomy. The goal of the review is to offer transplant anesthesiologists and critical care physicians a comprehensive overview of the perioperative management of adult live donors. We featured the current status, donor selection process, outcomes and complications, surgical procedure, anesthetic management, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols, avoidance of blood transfusion, and considerations for emergency donation. Recent surgical advances, including laparoscopic donor hemi-hepatectomy and robotic laparoscopic donor surgery, are also addressed.

Abstract
Abstract
A new method for characterization of distributive mixing in processing equipment, based on Renyi entropies, was developed. This method was applied to a twin-flight single screw extruder, in which tracer positions were determined through computer simulations of the flow field. The various entropies were calculated using particle concentrations in equal area domains of the mixer. Renyi entropies, which are function of a parameter β, were calculated for extruders of different lengths. We discuss the merit of using Renyi entropies for different values of β by pointing to the different mixing characteristics they probe. The relative Renyi entropy varies between 0 and 1 and represents a measure of distributive mixing quality, with 1 corresponding to perfect mixing and 0 corresponding to poorest mixing. We compare this new method of distributive mixing characterization to traditional ones based on the concepts of Scale and Intensity of Segregation, and the calculations based on Pairwise Correlations and Correlation Sums. The results show good agreement between the relative Renyi entropy and the traditional methods. Other advantages of the Renyi entropy such as reduced calculation time and geometric independence are discussed. For the case of a twin-flight single screw extruder, it is shown that a longer extruder is not necessarily more beneficial to distributive mixing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liver transplant anesthesiology is an evolving and expanding subspecialty, and programs have, in the past, exhibited significant variations of practice at transplant centers across the United States. In order to explore current practice patterns, the Quality & Standards Committee from the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia (SATA) undertook a survey of liver transplant anesthesiology program directors. METHODS Program directors were invited to participate in an online questionnaire. A total of 110 program directors were identified from the 2018 Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) database. Replies were received from 65 programs (response rate of 59%). RESULTS Our results indicate an increase in transplant anesthesia fellowship training and advanced training in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We also find that the use of intraoperative TEE and viscoelastic testing is more common. However, there has been a reduction in the use of veno-venous bypass, routine placement of pulmonary artery catheters and the intraoperative use of anti-fibrinolytics when compared to prior surveys. CONCLUSION The results show considerable heterogeneity in practice patterns across the country that continues to evolve. However, there appears to be a movement towards the adoption of specific structural and clinical practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary sinus (CS) ostial atresia/abnormalities prevent access to the CS from the right atrium (RA) for left ventricular (LV) lead implantation. Some patients with CS ostial abnormalities also have a small persistent left superior vena cava (sPLSVC). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe CS ostial abnormalities and sPLSVC as an opportunity for LV lead implantation and unrecognized source of stroke. METHODS Twenty patients with CS ostial abnormalities and sPLSVC were identified. Clinical information, imaging methods, LV lead implantation techniques, and complications were summarized. RESULTS Forty percent had at least 1 previously unsuccessful LV lead placement. In 70%, sPLSVC was identified by catheter manipulation and contrast injection in the left brachiocephalic vein, and in 30% by levophase CS venography. In 30%, sPLSVC was associated with drainage from the CS into the left atrium (LA). When associated with CS ostial abnormalities, the sPLSVC diameter averaged 5.6 ± 3 mm. sPLSVC was used for successful LV lead implantation in 90% of cases. In 80%, the LV lead was implanted down sPLSVC, and in 20%, sPLSVC was used to access the CS from the RA. Presumably because of unrecognized drainage from the CS to the LA, 1 patient had a stroke during implantation via sPLSVC. CONCLUSION When CS ostial abnormalities prevent access to the CS from the RA, sPLSVC can be used to successfully implant LV leads. In some, the CS partially drains into the LA and stroke can occur spontaneously or during lead intervention. It is important to distinguish sPLSVC associated with CS ostial abnormalities from isolated PLSVC.

Abstract
Objective To assess the rapid implementation of child neurology telehealth outpatient care with the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in March 2020. Methods This was a cohort study with retrospective comparison of 14,780 in-person encounters and 2,589 telehealth encounters, including 2,093 audio-video telemedicine and 496 scheduled telephone encounters, between October 1, 2019 and April 24, 2020. We compared in-person and telehealth encounters for patient demographics and diagnoses. For audio-video telemedicine encounters, we analyzed questionnaire responses addressing provider experience, follow-up plans, technical quality, need for in-person assessment, and parent/caregiver satisfaction. We performed manual reviews of encounters flagged as concerning by providers. Results There were no differences in patient age and major ICD-10 codes before and after transition. Clinicians considered telemedicine satisfactory in 93% (1,200 of 1,286) of encounters and suggested telemedicine as a component for follow-up care in 89% (1,144 of 1,286) of encounters. Technical challenges were reported in 40% (519 of 1,314) of encounters. In-person assessment was considered warranted after 5% (65 of 1,285) of encounters. Patients/caregivers indicated interest in telemedicine for future care in 86% (187 of 217) of encounters. Participation in telemedicine encounters compared to telephone encounters was less frequent among patients in racial or ethnic minority groups. Conclusions We effectively converted most of our outpatient care to telehealth encounters, including mostly audio-video telemedicine encounters. Providers rated the vast majority of telemedicine encounters to be satisfactory, and only a small proportion of encounters required short-term in-person follow-up. These findings suggest that telemedicine is feasible and effective for a large proportion of child neurology care. Additional strategies are needed to ensure equitable telemedicine use.

Abstract
What is a physician to do when the tools in his toolbox fail him? In the field of chronic pain, we are told that imaging studies are often so non-specific as to barely distinguish between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. "Advanced pain management techniques and off-label use of popular pain medicines do not withstand the rigors of controlled clinical trials and in many cases have been shown to be harmful. We are informed by the CDC that we are in the midst of a deadly "physician-driven" epidemic of prescribed opioid use disorder. The British Medical Society refers to "our silent addicts" explaining that pregabalin is the "new valium". The manufacturers of oxycodone, pregabalin and duloxetine have been successfully sued for up to $650 million for having overstated the benefits and understated the risks of their products. There has been a huge accumulation of scientific literature over 30 years demonstrating that pain-related beliefs, attitudes and behaviors are the most powerful predictors of outcome: more so than depression, anxiety, PTSD or personality type. All this confusion begs for a change of approach and treatment platform. This article wishes to introduce the reader to a different set of safer, more evidence-based tools to consider when faced with a problematic chronic pain patient.

Abstract
Abstract
Results from a collaborative study of a new liquid chromatographic (LC) method for determination ofvitamin D in infant formulas and enteral products are presented. Each of 15 laboratories was provided with 11 blind duplicate samples covering a range ofapproximately 200-500 International Units/quart (normal dilution), a system suitability sample, and the U.S. Pharmacopeia ergo- and cholecalciferol standards. Product types included liquid and powder forms of milk (whey and casein), soy, and hydrolyzed protein-based infant formulas and enteral products. The method includes a single liquid-liquid extraction following saponification, solid-phase extraction,and then concentration by evaporation. An isocratic, nonaqueous, chromatographic system with reversed-phase, zero end- capped C18 column, and UV detector set at 265 nm are used. Statistical evaluation ofdata from participating laboratories showthe average reproducibility and repeatability of the method across all samples to be excellent, with RSDR and RSDr values of 13.48 and 9.44, respectively, after elimination of out liers. The LC method for determination of vitamin D in infant formulas and enteral products has been adopted by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract
Blast-induced tinitus is the number one service-connected disability that currently affects military personnel and veterans. To elucidate its underlying mechanisms, we subjected 13 Sprague Dawley adult rats to unilateral 14 psi blast exposure to induce tinnitus and measured auditory and limbic brain activity using manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI). Tinnitus was evaluated with a gap detection acoustic startle reflex paradigm, while hearing status was assessed with prepulse inhibition (PPI) and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). Both anxiety and cognitive functioning were assessed using elevated plus maze and Morris water maze, respectively. Five weeks after blast exposure, 8 of the 13 blasted rats exhibited chronic tinnitus. While acoustic PPI remained intact and ABR thresholds recovered, the ABR wave P1-N1 amplitude reduction persisted in all blast-exposed rats. No differences in spatial cognition were observed, but blasted rats as a whole exhibited increased anxiety. MEMRI data revealed a bilateral increase in activity along the auditory pathway and in certain limbic regions of rats with tinnitus compared to age-matched controls. Taken together, our data suggest that while blast-induced tinnitus may play a role in auditory and limbic hyperactivity, the non-auditory effects of blast and potential traumatic brain injury may also exert an effect.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: DCC-2618 is a potent switch control inhibitor of KIT and PDGFRα kinases maintains potent inhibition of mutant forms across all exon regions in preclinical models. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is an important disease to achieve a proof-of-concept due to the heterogeneity of resistance mutations in KIT which emerge on treatment with approved KIT inhibitors. In later lines of therapy resistance mechanisms independent of the KIT gene have also been described.
Methods: The ongoing phase 1, PK-guided dose escalation study of DCC-2618 given orally BID [28-day cycle] tested doses from 20 mg to 200 mg in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors including GIST (NCT02571036). We report preliminary longitudinal results of plasma cell free (cf) DNA sequencing by Guardant 360 collected throughout the study and levels of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) based on a viral telomerase promoter-driven GFP expression assay.
Results: To date, 24 out of 31 enrolled pts had metastatic KITm GIST refractory to standard therapy. A high, total mean exposure of DCC-2618 and its active metabolite was achieved at 100 and 150 mg BID, affording steady state Cmax >5 µM in Cycle 1. Starting with 50 mg BID dose level, concentrations of total drug exceeding IC90 of the most resistant mutations to DCC-2618 were achieved. Next-generation sequencing of plasma cfDNA revealed a total of 40 KIT mutations in 16 of 18 GIST pts at baseline. DCC-2618 led to rapid decrease and/or clearance of the heterogeneous array of KIT mutations from plasma cfDNA including exons 9, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18. Independent of suppressed KIT mutation burden, longitudinal monitoring of cfDNA revealed changes in non-KIT oncogenic mutations which may contribute to heterogenous mechanisms of resistance. KIT mutation burden will be correlated with metabolic response assessment by PET scans and exposure to DCC-2618. CTCs have been detected in blood from all GIST patients at baseline using a non-biased assay capable of identifying sarcoma cells. Preliminary result show that CTCs with immunofluorescent detection of KIT or PDGFRα, corresponding to their respective mutational status, show 1 of 3 patterns when compared to radiologic response: most pts show relatively stable low levels at stable disease (SD), a minority of pts with prolonged SD a decline in CTCs and 2 pts with progressive disease had significant increase in KIT positive CTCs.
Conclusions: DCC-2618 and its active metabolite achieved high plasma concentrations sufficient to inhibit the most resistant KIT mutations at well-tolerated exposures. Monitoring of cfDNA KIT mutation frequency demonstrates rapid clearance of a broad spectrum of KIT mutations in this heavily pretreated GIST patient population and suggests candidate resistance genes that are independent of KIT. Our data provide a first signal that CTC monitoring might represent a potential marker for tumor control in KIT mutant GIST.

Abstract
2515 Background: DCC-2618 is a potent switch control inhibitor of KIT and PDGFR kinases active in a broad range of mutations. GIST is an important disease to achieve a proof-of-concept due to the heterogeneity of KIT resistance mutations, which emerge on treatment with approved KIT inhibitors. Methods: This was a PK-guided dose escalation study of oral DCC-2618 (QD or BID q28 days) in advanced solid tumors. FDG-PET scans were used to assess changes in FDG uptake in GIST pts after 3 wks of therapy. Next generation sequencing (NGS) of plasma cell-free (cf) DNA was performed throughout the study to assess and quantify KIT and other molecular alterations in drug targets and potential mechanisms of resistance. Results: 38 pts were enrolled (30 GIST; 4 glioma; 1 mastocytosis, 3 other carcinoma) to 8 dose levels: BID doses: 20 (4 pts), 30 (4), 50 (5), 100 (6), 150 (6) and 200 mg (3); QD doses: 100 (5) and 150 mg (4). Safety of evaluable pts is as follows: G3 or G4 adverse effects (regardless of attribution and occurring in > 1 pt) included anemia (5), lipase increase (4), hypertension (2). Two of the G3/4 lipase increase at 100 mg BID and 200 mg BID were DLTs. All G3/4 lipase increase were asymptomatic. G1/2 AEs (considered at least possibly related to DCC-2618) and occurring in ≥15% (n > 5) of pts include fatigue (12), alopecia & lipase increase (7), weight decrease (6). Starting with 50 mg BID dose level, trough concentrations of total drug exceeded the IC90 of the least sentivitive KIT mutations. Plasma concentrations > 5μM were achieved starting at 100 mg BID and the selection of the expansion phase dose is being finalized. Of 18 pts with KIT mutant GIST assessed by FDG PET, 14 (78%) had partial metabolic response per EORTC criteria. RANO/RECIST partial responses (PRs) were reported in 3 patients (1 GBM with PDGFRA/KIT amplifications and 2 GIST with Ex 11 & 17 / Ex 11 & 18 mutations, respectively). NGS of plasma cfDNA revealed 44 KIT mutations in baseline samples from 19 of 21 pts with GIST. Conclusions: DCC-2618 is well tolerated with encouraging preliminary activity in GIST pts with a broad spectrum of mutations and prior therapies. PR was also seen in a pt with GBM with PDGFRA/KIT amplifications. Clinical trial information: NCT02571036.

Abstract
2507 Background: LY3009120, a pan-Raf and dimer inhibitor, demonstrates inhibition of phospho-Mek/Erk and tumor growth inhibition in several non-clinical cancer models with BRAF, NRAS, or KRAS mutations. This is the first-in-human phase 1 study of LY3009120 in patients (pts) with advanced cancer. Methods: The safety and tolerability of LY3009120 was evaluated in pts with cancer aged 18 years or older who had an ECOG performance status ≤1, at least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion (RECIST 1.1), and adequate organ function (NCT02014116; I6X-MC-JBDA; Eli Lilly & Co.). The study sought to determine a recommended phase 2 dose using the toxicity band method and the safety, pharmacokinetic, and preliminary efficacy of LY3009120. Pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers, including pERK, p27 and Ki67, were evaluated in tumor tissue. The dose escalation phase evaluated dosages from 50 mg to 500 mg by mouth twice daily in pts with advanced cancers. Results: 34 pts (3 at 50 mg, 4 at 100 mg, 3 at 200 mg, 15 at 300 mg, 7 at 400 mg, and 2 at 500 mg) in dose escalation and 1 pt in dose expansion (1 at 300 mg) received at least one dose of LY3009120 by January 2, 2016 (median age = 47.4 yrs, range: 26-82 ). Most pts had a gene mutation (BRAF, n = 7; N/KRAS, n = 18); the most common cancer types included colon (n = 9), non–small cell lung cancer (n = 8), and pancreatic (n = 5). There were 6 dose-limiting toxicities in the dose escalation phase: 2 pts at 300 mg (G3 dermatitis acneiform [n = 1] and G2 blurred vision [n = 1]); 2 pts at 400 mg (G2 increased ALT with G3 hyperbilirubinemia [n = 1] and G3 increased ALT [n = 1]); 2 pts at 500 mg: (G3 arthralgia/myalgia [n = 1] and G3 stomatitis/pain [n = 1]). Based on these data, the maximum tolerated dose for LY3009120 was determined to be 300 mg twice daily. Treatment-emergent adverse events related to LY3009120 occurring in ≥10% of pts included fatigue (34%), nausea (31%), decreased appetite (20%), and dermatitis acneiform (20%) (Grade 1,2). A dose proportional increase in exposure was observed, but not at the 400 mg dose. The best response was stable disease in 5 pts. PD effect by rtPCR was not observed in tested paired tumor samples. Conclusions: LY3009120 is well tolerated at doses of 300 mg twice daily. Updated data from dose expansion will be presented in the meeting. Clinical trial information: NCT02014116.

Abstract
A prospective study of 62 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) treated with Glatiramer acetate (GA) was conducted to evaluate the value of baseline and treatment-modulated cytokines in predicting the clinical response to the drug after 2years of therapy. There were 32 responders and 30 non-responders. GA upregulated Th2/regulatory cytokines and inhibited Th1 cytokines in sera or PBMC supernatants 3 and 6months into treatment. We found two prognostic models with clinical utility. A model based on IL-18 at baseline, the change in TNFa from baseline to 3months, the change in IL-4 from baseline to 6months, and the change in the log of the ratio of TNFa/IL-4 from baseline to 6months had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80. A high IL-18 level at baseline and a reduction of TNF-alpha over time are associated with a response to GA. Although the study identified predictive biomarkers of clinical response to GA, the results will need to be validated in other data sets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Daclizumab high-yield process (HYP) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to CD25 (alpha subunit of the interleukin-2 receptor) and modulates interleukin-2 signaling. Abnormalities in interleukin-2 signaling have been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, phase 3 study involving 1841 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis to compare daclizumab HYP, administered subcutaneously at a dose of 150 mg every 4 weeks, with interferon beta-1a, administered intramuscularly at a dose of 30 μg once weekly, for up to 144 weeks. The primary end point was the annualized relapse rate. RESULTS The annualized relapse rate was lower with daclizumab HYP than with interferon beta-1a (0.22 vs. 0.39; 45% lower rate with daclizumab HYP; P<0.001). The number of new or newly enlarged hyperintense lesions on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over a period of 96 weeks was lower with daclizumab HYP than with interferon beta-1a (4.3 vs. 9.4; 54% lower number of lesions with daclizumab HYP; P<0.001). At week 144, the estimated incidence of disability progression confirmed at 12 weeks was 16% with daclizumab HYP and 20% with interferon beta-1a (P=0.16). Serious adverse events, excluding relapse of multiple sclerosis, were reported in 15% of the patients in the daclizumab HYP group and in 10% of those in the interferon beta-1a group. Infections were more common in the daclizumab HYP group than in the interferon beta-1a group (in 65% vs. 57% of the patients, including serious infection in 4% vs. 2%), as were cutaneous events such as rash or eczema (in 37% vs. 19%, including serious events in 2% vs. <1%) and elevations in liver aminotransferase levels that were more than 5 times the upper limit of the normal range (in 6% vs. 3%). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, daclizumab HYP showed efficacy superior to that of interferon beta-1a with regard to the annualized relapse rate and lesions, as assessed by means of MRI, but was not associated with a significantly lower risk of disability progression confirmed at 12 weeks. The rates of infection, rash, and abnormalities on liver-function testing were higher with daclizumab HYP than with interferon beta-1a.

Abstract
We study in this paper the phase transition in a mobile Potts model by the use of Monte Carlo simulation. The mobile Potts model is related to a diluted Potts model, which is also studied here by a mean-field approximation. We consider a lattice where each site is either vacant or occupied by a q-state Potts spin. The Potts spin can move from one site to a nearby vacant site. In order to study the surface sublimation, we consider a system of Potts spins contained in a recipient with a concentration c defined as the ratio of the number of Potts spins N(s) to the total number of lattice sites N(L)=N(x)×N(y)×N(z). Taking into account the attractive interaction between the nearest-neighboring Potts spins, we study the phase transitions as functions of various physical parameters such as the temperature, the shape of the recipient, and the spin concentration. We show that as the temperature increases, surface spins are detached from the solid phase to form a gas in the empty space. Surface order parameters indicate different behaviors depending on the distance to the surface. At high temperatures, if the concentration is high enough, the interior spins undergo a first-order phase transition to an orientationally disordered phase. The mean-field results are shown as functions of temperature, pressure, and chemical potential, which confirm in particular the first-order character of the transition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To test whether commonly measured laboratory variables can identify surgical patients at risk of major adverse events (death, unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission or rapid response team (RRT) activation). METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study in a surgical ward of a university-affiliated hospital in a cohort of 834 surgical patients admitted for >24 h. We applied a previously validated multivariable model-derived risk assessment to each combined set of common laboratory tests to identify patients at risk. We compared the clinical course of such patients with that of control patients from the same ward who had blood tests but were identified as low risk. RESULTS We studied 7955 batches and 73,428 individual tests in 834 patients (males 55%; average age 65.8 ± 17.6 years). Among these patients, 66 (7.9%) were identified as 'high risk'. High-risk patients were older (75.9 vs 61.8 years of age; P < 0.0001), had much greater early (48 h) mortality (6/66 (9%) vs 4/768 (0.5%); P < 0.0001) and greater overall hospital mortality (11/66 (16.7%) vs 9/768 (1.2%); P < 0.0001). They also had more early (8/66 (12.1%) vs 14/768 (1.8%); P = 0.0001) and overall in-hospital unplanned ICU admissions (12/66 (18.2%) vs 18/768 (2.3%); P < 0.0001) and more early (26/66 (39.3%) vs 50/768 (6.5%); P < 0.0001) and overall in-hospital RRT calls (26/66 (39.4%) vs 55/768 (7.2%); P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Commonly performed laboratory tests identify surgical ward patients at risk of early major adverse events. Further studies are needed to assess whether such identification system can be used to trigger interventions that help improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to characterize the timing and extent of radiologic MS disease recurrence during the 24-week natalizumab treatment interruption period in RESTORE. RESTORE was a randomized, partially placebo-controlled exploratory study. Natalizumab-treated patients with no gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesions at screening (n = 175) were randomized 1:1:2 to continue natalizumab (n = 45), switch to placebo (n = 42), or switch to other therapies (n = 88) for 24 weeks. MRI assessments were performed every 4 weeks. Predictors of increased numbers of Gd+ lesions during natalizumab treatment interruption were evaluated. The numbers of Gd+ lesions were compared with retrospectively collected pre-natalizumab MRI reports and data from placebo-treated patients from two historical randomized clinical trials. Gd+ lesions were detected in 0 % (0/45) of natalizumab patients, 61 % (25/41) of placebo patients, and 48 % (39/81) of other-therapies patients during the randomized treatment period. Gd+ lesions were detected starting at week 12; most were observed at week 16 or later. Thirteen percent (14/107) of patients had >5 Gd+ lesions on ≥1 (of 6) scans during the randomized treatment period versus 7 % (7/107) of patients pre-natalizumab (based on medical record of a single scan). Younger patients and those with more Gd+ lesions pre-natalizumab were more likely to have increased MRI activity. Distribution of total and persistent Gd+ lesions in RESTORE patients was similar to placebo-treated historical control patients. In most patients, recurring radiological disease activity during natalizumab interruption did not exceed pre-natalizumab levels or levels seen in historical control patients.

Abstract
The parasitic nematode Spirocerca lupi causes major morbidity and mortality in dogs. The scarab beetle Onthophagus sellatus is its major intermediate host in Israel. We investigated the prevalence of beetle infection by S. lupi in different years between 1994 and 2008. The average monthly maximum and minimum relative humidity (RH) and ambient temperature (AT) throughout the study period were calculated based on daily meteorological data. The infection prevalence decreased over the study period, possibly due to a chronological change resulting from increased preventive treatment of dogs against S. lupi, or climate change. Multivariate analysis was performed for these two hypotheses. Under the first hypothesis, chronological change was forced into the model, and environmental variables were inserted stepwise. The final model included beetle-collection date, minimum RH (RH min) during the month preceding beetle collection, its interaction with maximal AT (AT max) during that same month, and the interaction of maximal RH (RH max) and AT max, during the month of beetle collection. Under the second hypothesis, chronological change was not forced. The final model included RH max during the month of beetle collection, average RH (RHave) during the month preceding beetle collection, and its interaction with AT max during the latter month. The results suggest that under both hypotheses, RH and AT during the month preceding beetle collection influence S. lupi's ability to develop and survive in O. sellatus, and may be used to predict the risk to dogs of S. lupi infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE RESTORE was a randomized, partially placebo-controlled exploratory study evaluating multiple sclerosis (MS) disease activity during a 24-week interruption of natalizumab. METHODS Eligible patients were relapse-free through the prior year on natalizumab and had no gadolinium-enhancing lesions on screening brain MRI. Patients were randomized 1:1:2 to continue natalizumab, to switch to placebo, or to receive alternative immunomodulatory therapy (other therapies: IM interferon β-1a [IM IFN-β-1a], glatiramer acetate [GA], or methylprednisolone [MP]). During the 24-week randomized treatment period, patients underwent clinical and MRI assessments every 4 weeks. RESULTS Patients (n = 175) were randomized to natalizumab (n = 45), placebo (n = 42), or other therapies (n = 88: IM IFN-β-1a, n = 17; GA, n = 17; MP, n = 54). Of 167 patients evaluable for efficacy, 49 (29%) had MRI disease activity recurrence: 0/45 (0%) natalizumab, 19/41 (46%) placebo, 1/14 (7%) IM IFN-β-1a, 8/15 (53%) GA, and 21/52 (40%) MP. Relapse occurred in 4% of natalizumab patients and in 15%-29% of patients in the other treatment arms. MRI disease activity recurred starting at 12 weeks (n = 3 at week 12) while relapses were reported as early as 4-8 weeks (n = 2 in weeks 4-8) after the last natalizumab dose. Overall, 50/167 patients (30%), all in placebo or other-therapies groups, restarted natalizumab early because of disease activity. CONCLUSIONS MRI and clinical disease activity recurred in some patients during natalizumab interruption, despite use of other therapies. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class II evidence that for patients with MS taking natalizumab who are relapse-free for 1 year, stopping natalizumab increases the risk of MS relapse or MRI disease activity as compared with continuing natalizumab.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Studies have shown that gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs more frequently than expected in children with chronic rhinosinusitis. The objective of this study is to further understand the relationship of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease in children with symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and chronic cough. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 63 children, ages 6 months to 10 years old with rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and chronic cough. The patients underwent maxillary cultures, adenoidectomy, and distal third esophageal biopsies. Children with esophageal biopsies showing esophagitis were classified as positive for gastroesophageal reflux disease, and maxillary antral swabs growing a high density of bacteria were classified as positive for chronic rhinosinusitis. RESULTS Six months to 5 years old children (n=43), 6 (14%) had simultaneous positive maxillary antral cultures and positive esophageal biopsies, 11 (26%) had positive esophageal biopsies alone, 23 (53%) had positive maxillary antral cultures alone, and 3 (7%) had neither. Six to 10 years old children (n=20), 9 (45%) had simultaneous positive maxillary antral cultures and positive esophageal biopsies, 1 (5%) patient had positive esophageal biopsies alone, 3 (15%) patients had positive maxillary antral cultures alone, and 7 (35%) patients had neither. Twenty-seven (42%) of the patients from the whole study had gastroesophageal reflux positive biopsies. The younger children were statistically likely to have chronic rhinosinusitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease independently of each other (p=0.0002). A direct group comparison found the younger group to have independent chronic rhinosinusitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease and the older group to have simultaneous chronic rhinosinusitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (p=0.0006). CONCLUSION In children with the presenting symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and chronic cough, younger children tend to have either chronic rhinosinusitis or gastroesophageal reflux disease, whereas older children tend to have a more complicated etiology of chronic rhinosinusitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease or other. In all of these patients gastroesophageal reflux disease plays an important role, as over 40% of all patients had gastroesophageal positive biopsies.
