Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic posed considerable risks to populations affected by humanitarian crises in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, there is limited understanding of how the pandemic may have affected non-COVID health outcomes among crisis-affected populations. Our aim was to examine the evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on non-COVID-19 health outcomes for crisis-affected populations in LMICs. METHODS A systematic review methodology was applied following PRISMA guidelines. Eligibility criteria were: crisis-affected populations in LMICS; COVID-19; and all health topics, except for sexual and reproductive health which was covered in a linked review. Five bibliographic databases and additional grey literature sources were searched. The search period was from 2019 to 31 July 2022. Eligible papers were extracted and analysed using a narrative synthesis approach based on the study objectives and relevant health access and systems frameworks. A quality appraisal was also conducted. FINDINGS 4320 articles were screened, and 15 eligible studies were identified and included in this review. Ten studies collected health outcomes data. Eight related to mental health, which generally showed worse mental health outcomes because of the pandemic, and pandemic-related stressors were identified. Two studies assessed physical health outcomes in children, while none addressed physical health outcomes among adults. Nine studies reported on access to healthcare, revealing worse access levels due to the pandemic and noting key barriers to care. Seven studies reported on the impact on health systems, with key challenges including reduced and distorted health care funding, reduced staff capacity, interrupted medicines and supplies, weak information and mixed-messaging, and weak leadership. All fifteen studies on the social determinants of health, particularly highlighting the effect of increasing poverty, the role of gender, and food insecurity on health outcomes. The quality of papers was limited overall. CONCLUSION This review found some limited evidence indicating negative mental health effects, increased barriers to accessing care, damage to health systems and magnified impacts on the social determinants of health for crisis-affected people during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the small number and limited quality of the studies make the overall strength of evidence quite weak.

Abstract
The EUCLID (Experiments Underpinned by Computational Learning for Improvements in Nuclear Data) project created a library of sensitivities for nine different integral responses with respect to nuclear data. These integral responses were obtained from measurements at LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) pulsed spheres, critical and sub-critical assemblies. At the same time, covariances for ENDF/B-VIII.0 were processed at LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory). The combination of these data allow us to study the impact of nuclear-data covariances on various integral responses, either by forward-propagating covariances via sensitivities, or by using nuclear data, integral responses, and sensitivities for adjustment. Here, we will present: the impact of 1H, 9Be, 12C, 27Al, 56Fe, 235,238U, and 239,240Pu ENDF/B-VIII.0 covariances on simulated bounds of the following integral responses: LLNL pulsed-spheres neutron-leakage spectra, the effective neutron multiplication factor, reaction rates, and reactivity coefficients of ICSBEP critical assemblies. Also, adjustment results with the same nuclear-data covariances and responses will be discussed.

Abstract
During inertial confinement fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), a capsule filled with deuterium and tritium (DT) gas, surrounded by a DT ice layer and a high-density carbon ablator, is driven to the temperature and densities required to initiate fusion. In the indirect method, 2 MJ of NIF laser light heats the inside of a gold hohlraum to a radiation temperature of 300 eV; thermal x rays from the hohlraum interior couple to the capsule and create a central hotspot at tens of millions degrees Kelvin and a density of 100-200 g/cm3. During the laser interaction with the gold wall, m-band x rays are produced at ∼2.5 keV; these can penetrate into the capsule and preheat the ablator and DT fuel. Preheat can impact instability growth rates in the ablation front and at the fuel-ablator interface. Monitoring the hohlraum x-ray spectrum throughout the implosion is, therefore, critical; for this purpose, a Multilayer Mirror (MLM) with flat response in the 2-4 keV range has been installed in the NIF 37° Dante calorimeter. Precision engineering and x-ray calibration of components mean the channel will report 2-4 keV spectral power with an uncertainty of ±8.7%.

Abstract
The Imaging Spectroscopy Snout (ISS) used at the National Ignition Facility is able to simultaneously collect neutron pinhole images, 1D spatially resolved x-ray spectra, and time resolved x-ray pinhole images. To measure the x-ray spectra, the ISS can be equipped with up to four different transmission crystals, each offering different energy ranges from ∼7.5 to ∼12 keV and different resolutions. Characterizing and calibrating such instruments is of paramount importance in order to extract meaningful results from experiments. More specifically, we characterized different ISS transmission-type alpha-Quartz crystals by measuring their responses as a function of photon energy, from which we inferred the angle-integrated reflectivity for each crystal's working reflections. These measurements were made at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory calibration station dedicated to the characterization of x-ray spectrometers. The sources used covered a wide x-ray range-from a few to 30 keV; the source diameter was ∼0.6 mm. The experimental results are discussed alongside theoretical calculations using the pyTTE model.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Tonsillectomies are one of the most commonly performed procedures., with one particular leading tertiary paediatric centre performing 1,067 tonsillectomies within the last year. Post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage is a considerable complication leading to further primary care costs, readmission, and surgical intervention. Previous national audits have suggested that post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage rates are between 3.0-3.5%1 and readmission rates are approximately 8.8%2.
Aim
Assess post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage and readmission rates at a leading tertiary paediatric centre.
Method
A prospective phone survey was completed for every patient receiving a tonsillectomy 6 weeks post-operatively, using a 2-month inclusion period.
Results
Of the 51 patients included, 51 responded to phone survey. The total post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage rate was 23.5%. Of the 51 respondents, 10 (19.6%) were readmitted through A&E, all of which had extracapsular tonsillectomies. 1 (10%) of those readmitted had further surgical intervention whilst the remaining 9 (90%) were treated conservatively. A further 4 (7.8%) attended their GP, with 3 (75%) of those requiring antibiotics.
Conclusions
This data shows that both the post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage and readmission rates at the tertiary paediatric centre were higher than the national average. We suggest that previous national data audits describing bleeding rates lack the granularity to reveal true post-operative complication rates. Our prospective cohort has demonstrated that there may be a large proportion of patients with morbidity that never reach the attention of the ENT surgeon and additionally that subgroups in particular may benefit from interventions designed to minimise patients’ post-operative risks, including specific perioperative management and advice.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The reporting of operating theatre noise in the surgical literature dates back almost 50 years. The existing standards for noise and sound reporting in healthcare settings is heterogenous and there is a need for greater uniformity of reporting to support our growing understanding of the significance of communication and human factors on surgical performance.
Method
This presentation summarizes the existing Surgical and Acoustic Engineering industrial expertise to provide a narrative review of literature, grey reports and guidelines and then demonstrates appropriate reporting standards during Noise level recording in an operating theatre environment.
Results
We describe LAmax, LA90and LAeq expected levels. We compare our own theatre noise levels against these recommended standards for comparison. This presentation also suggests a suitable “ambient noise” (LAeq 65dB) level over which any communication devices or communication studies should benchmark when developing interventions to overcome noise in the operating theatre.
Conclusions
This paper proposes possible unified reporting standards and expected sound pressure levels against which future studies in this field could benchmark.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) typically occur within 4 months of starting anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)-based therapy [anti-PD-1 ± anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4)], but delayed irAEs (onset >12 months after commencement) can also occur. This study describes the incidence, nature and management of delayed irAEs in patients receiving anti-PD-1-based immunotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with delayed irAEs from 20 centres were studied. The incidence of delayed irAEs was estimated as a proportion of melanoma patients treated with anti-PD-1-based therapy and surviving >1 year. Onset, clinical features, management and outcomes of irAEs were examined. RESULTS One hundred and eighteen patients developed a total of 140 delayed irAEs (20 after initial combination with anti-CTLA4), with an estimated incidence of 5.3% (95% confidence interval 4.0-6.9, 53/999 patients at sites with available data). The median onset of delayed irAE was 16 months (range 12-53 months). Eighty-seven patients (74%) were on anti-PD-1 at irAE onset, 15 patients (12%) were <3 months from the last dose and 16 patients (14%) were >3 months from the last dose of anti-PD-1. The most common delayed irAEs were colitis, rash and pneumonitis; 55 of all irAEs (39%) were ≥grade 3. Steroids were required in 80 patients (68%), as well as an additional immunosuppressive agent in 27 patients (23%). There were two irAE-related deaths: encephalitis with onset during anti-PD-1 and a multiple-organ irAE with onset 11 months after ceasing anti-PD-1. Early irAEs (<12 months) had also occurred in 69 patients (58%), affecting a different organ from the delayed irAE in 59 patients (86%). CONCLUSIONS Delayed irAEs occur in a small but relevant subset of patients. Delayed irAEs are often different from previous irAEs, may be high grade and can lead to death. They mostly occur in patients still receiving anti-PD-1. The risk of delayed irAE should be considered when deciding the duration of treatment in responding patients. However, patients who stop treatment may also rarely develop delayed irAE.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is highly prevalent and under-diagnosed in the overweight/obese pediatric population largely due to limitations of existing pediatric OSA screening instruments including lack of efficiency and practical implementation and lack of careful consideration of physical examination(PE) findings with high predictive value for OSA. We sought to identify PE finding(s) predictive of pediatric OSA in overweight/obese patients to inform development of an OSA screening tool.
Methods
Overweight/obese patients presenting to the Cleveland Clinic weight-management clinic between 2013-2018 with polysomnogram (PSG) data were included. The association of PE predictors: age, sex, race (white, black, other), neck (NC), waist circumference (WC), tonsil size (TS), height, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) percentiles) in relation to OSA defined by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)≥5,i.e. clinically significant pediatric OSA, were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models (OR,95%CI).
Results
Retrospective analysis of 180 overweight/obese patients (BMI percentile>85th for age and sex) and age 12.5±3.7 years were included. The multivariate model showed that only WC was significantly associated (1.03, 1.00 - 1.07, p=0.038) with OSA defined as AHI≥5. A statistically significant interaction of age and sex was observed such that the likelihood of OSA increased in males with older age and conversely decreased in females with older age. (1.26,1.04 -1.52, p=0.038) The reduced multivariate model, which included age, sex, WC, and age*sex interaction term, correctly discriminated AHI <5 vs. ≥ 5 66.5% of the time.
Conclusion
In this large clinic-based overweight/obese pediatric sample, males, older age and WC were significant predictors of OSA and TS was not. A significant interaction of age and sex was observed supporting increased OSA with increasing age in males. Data generated supports value of PE findings of age, sex and WC to incorporate in development of an OSA screening tool for overweight/obese children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies examine the influence that different sources of medical information has on human papillomavirus (HPV)-related knowledge. We examined the relationship between the primary source of medical information and knowledge about HPV in young adults aged 18-26 years. STUDY DESIGN This study used cross-sectional data from the Health Information National Trends Survey. METHODS Respondents (n = 404) self-reported their knowledge about HPV-related diseases and vaccinations and their sources of medical information. Sources of medical information included electronic/print media, family/friends, or a healthcare provider. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine the association between the source of information and HPV knowledge. RESULTS Fifty-six percent of respondents used electronic or print media as their primary source of medical information. A greater proportion of Hispanic (40.0%) and black (36.0%) respondents received medical information from their family/friends than white respondents (20.0%). Respondents who received medical information from family/friends had 4.34 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.14, 8.79), 4.06 (95% CI: 2.05, 8.04), and 2.35 (95% CI: 1.10, 5.04) times higher odds than those who received information from healthcare providers of not knowing that HPV causes cervical cancer, knowing HPV is a sexually transmitted infection, and hearing about the HPV vaccine, respectively. CONCLUSION Source of medical information was significantly associated with knowledge of HPV. Receiving medical information from family/friends negatively influenced young adults' HPV knowledge. These findings may guide future interventions to target peer and familial influence on medical decisions.

Abstract
Self-administered computerized cognitive testing could effectively monitor older individuals at-risk for cognitive decline at home. In this study, we tested the feasibility and reliability of 3 tablet-based executive functioning measures and an executive composite score in a sample of 30 older adults (age 80±6) with high multimorbidity. The tests were examiner-administered at baseline and then self-administered by the participants at home across 2 subsequent days. Eight of the participants reported no prior experience with touchscreen technology. Twenty-seven participants completed both self-administered assessments, and 28 completed at least one. Cronbach's alpha (individual tests: .87-.89, composite: .93) and correlations between examiner-administered and self-administered performances (individual tests: .72-.91, composite: .93) were high. The participants who had never used a smartphone or a tablet computer showed comparable consistency. Remote self-administered tablet-based testing in older adults at-risk for cognitive decline is feasible and reliable, even among participants without prior technology experience.

Abstract
Moose (Alces alces andersoni) population numbers have decreased by 50–70% in some parts of northern British Columbia (BC), Canada. Predation of moose calves by bears may be affecting moose populations in this area, but has gone undocumented. A total of 1,381 bear scats were collected during the spring and summer of 2014 and 2015. Hairs extracted from the scats were identified to species through hair scale imprints made in thermoplastic film, with the specific purpose of identifying the frequency of occurrence of moose calf hairs in scats. Only 27 scats (~2 %) contained moose calf hair. We discuss possible explanations for our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
The Crystal Backlighter Imager (CBI) is a quasi-monochromatic, near-normal incidence, spherically bent crystal imager developed for the National Ignition Facility (NIF), which will allow inertial confinement fusion capsule implosions to be radiographed close to stagnation. This is not possible using the standard pinhole-based area-backlighter configuration, as the self-emission from the capsule hotspot overwhelms the backlighter signal in the final stages of the implosion. The CBI mitigates the broadband self-emission from the capsule hot spot by using the extremely narrow bandwidth inherent to near-normal-incidence Bragg diffraction. Implementing a backlighter system based on near-normal reflection in the NIF chamber presents unique challenges, requiring the CBI to adopt novel engineering and operational strategies. The CBI currently operates with an 11.6 keV backlighter, making it the highest energy radiography diagnostic based on spherically bent crystals to date. For a given velocity, Doppler shift is proportional to the emitted photon energy. At 11.6 keV, the ablation velocity of the backlighter plasma results in a Doppler shift that is significant compared to the bandwidth of the instrument and the width of the atomic line, requiring that the shift be measured to high accuracy and the optics aligned accordingly to compensate. Experiments will be presented that used the CBI itself to measure the backlighter Doppler shift to an accuracy of better than 1 eV. These experiments also measured the spatial resolution of CBI radiographs at 7.0 μm, close to theoretical predictions. Finally, results will be presented from an experiment in which the CBI radiographed a capsule implosion driven by a 1 MJ NIF laser pulse, demonstrating a significant (>100) improvement in the backlighter to self-emission ratio compared to the pinhole-based area-backlighter configuration.

Abstract
The car parks at the study hospital are accessed using re-usable, machine-read tickets. In the initial phase of this study, 598 staff members were observed entering the car park, and 21.6% of them put their parking ticket in their mouth. Ultraviolet dye was used to demonstrate card-to-card cross-contamination. Swabs of the ticket machine yielded commensal bacteria: coagulase-negative staphylococci and a Bacillus sp. After placing a poster on the ticket-reading machine highlighting the potential risk of infection, a further 1366 observations demonstrated a significant and persistent decline in the proportion of staff who put their ticket in their mouth (P<0.001).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Establishing a diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, or indeed ruling it out, may be difficult. We describe an evaluation of temporal artery colour duplex ultrasound as first line investigation in patients with suspected giant cell arteritis. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of all patients undergoing colour duplex ultrasound for suspected giant cell arteritis between January 2005 and January 2014 was undertaken at a teaching hospital. A minimum clinical follow-up of three months was required. Patients were classified on the basis of ultrasound reports, using described features such as a halo sign or arterial wall thickening and clinical diagnosis of giant cell arteritis after at least 3 months follow-up, determined by the treating physician. The relationship of colour duplex ultrasound to a final clinical diagnosis of giant cell arteritis was analysed. RESULTS A total of 87 patients underwent colour duplex ultrasound: 36 (41%) had clinically confirmed giant cell arteritis at 3-month follow-up. The positive predictive value of colour duplex ultrasound for a clinical diagnosis at 3 months was 97% (95% confidence interval (CI) 93 to 99%) and negative predictive value 88% (95% CI 76 to 95%). Sensitivity was 81% (95% CI 64 to 92%) and specificity 98% (95% CI 90 to 100%). CONCLUSIONS A high positive and negative predictive value of arteritis on colour duplex ultrasound indicates that temporal artery biopsy may be unnecessary in suspected giant cell arteritis, particularly where clinical suspicion of giant cell arteritis is high or low.
