Abstract
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, with multiple underlying inflammatory pathways and structural airway abnormalities that impact disease persistence and severity. Recent progress has been made in developing targeted asthma therapeutics, especially for subjects with eosinophilic asthma. However, there is an unmet need for new approaches to treat patients with severe and exacerbation-prone asthma, who contribute disproportionately to disease burden. Extensive deep phenotyping has revealed the heterogeneous nature of severe asthma and identified distinct disease subtypes. A current challenge in the field is to translate new and emerging knowledge about different pathobiologic mechanisms in asthma into patient-specific therapies, with the ultimate goal of modifying the natural history of disease. Here, we describe the Precision Interventions for Severe and/or Exacerbation-Prone Asthma (PrecISE) Network, a groundbreaking collaborative effort of asthma researchers and biostatisticians from around the United States. The PrecISE Network was designed to conduct phase II/proof-of-concept clinical trials of precision interventions in the population with severe asthma, and is supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Using an innovative adaptive platform trial design, the PrecISE Network will evaluate up to 6 interventions simultaneously in biomarker-defined subgroups of subjects. We review the development and organizational structure of the PrecISE Network, and choice of interventions being studied. We hope that the PrecISE Network will enhance our understanding of asthma subtypes and accelerate the development of therapeutics for severe asthma.

Abstract
Severe asthma accounts for almost half the cost associated with asthma. Severe asthma is driven by heterogeneous molecular mechanisms. Conventional clinical trial design often lacks the power and efficiency to target subgroups with specific pathobiological mechanisms. Furthermore, the validation and approval of new asthma therapies is a lengthy process. A large proportion of that time is taken by clinical trials to validate asthma interventions. The National Institutes of Health Precision Medicine in Severe and/or Exacerbation Prone Asthma (PrecISE) program was established with the goal of designing and executing a trial that uses adaptive design techniques to rapidly evaluate novel interventions in biomarker-defined subgroups of severe asthma, while seeking to refine these biomarker subgroups, and to identify early markers of response to therapy. The novel trial design is an adaptive platform trial conducted under a single master protocol that incorporates precision medicine components. Furthermore, it includes innovative applications of futility analysis, cross-over design with use of shared placebo groups, and early futility analysis to permit more rapid identification of effective interventions. The development and rationale behind the study design are described. The interventions chosen for the initial investigation and the criteria used to identify these interventions are enumerated. The biomarker-based adaptive design and analytic scheme are detailed as well as special considerations involved in the final trial design.

Abstract
The Precision Interventions for Severe and/or Exacerbation-prone Asthma (PrecISE) study is an adaptive platform trial designed to investigate novel interventions to severe asthma. The study is conducted under a master protocol and utilizes a crossover design with each participant receiving up to five interventions and at least one placebo. Treatment assignments are based on the patients' biomarker profiles and precision health methods are incorporated into the interim and final analyses. We describe key elements of the PrecISE study including the multistage adaptive enrichment strategy, early stopping of an intervention for futility, power calculations, and the primary analysis strategy.

Abstract
Asthma resistance to glucocorticoid treatment is a major health problem with unclear etiology. Glucocorticoids inhibit adrenal androgen production. However, androgens have potential benefits in asthma. HSD3B1 encodes for 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 (3β-HSD1), which catalyzes peripheral conversion from adrenal dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to potent androgens and has a germline missense-encoding polymorphism. The adrenal restrictive HSD3B1(1245A) allele limits conversion, whereas the adrenal permissive HSD3B1(1245C) allele increases DHEA metabolism to potent androgens. In the Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP) III cohort, we determined the association between DHEA-sulfate and percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1PP). HSD3B1(1245) genotypes were assessed, and association between adrenal restrictive and adrenal permissive alleles and FEV1PP in patients with (GC) and without (noGC) daily oral glucocorticoid treatment was determined (n = 318). Validation was performed in a second cohort (SARP I&II; n = 184). DHEA-sulfate is associated with FEV1PP and is suppressed with GC treatment. GC patients homozygous for the adrenal restrictive genotype have lower FEV1PP compared with noGC patients (54.3% vs. 75.1%; P < 0.001). In patients with the homozygous adrenal permissive genotype, there was no FEV1PP difference in GC vs. noGC patients (73.4% vs. 78.9%; P = 0.39). Results were independently confirmed: FEV1PP for homozygous adrenal restrictive genotype in GC vs. noGC is 49.8 vs. 63.4 (P < 0.001), and for homozygous adrenal permissive genotype, it is 66.7 vs. 67.7 (P = 0.92). The adrenal restrictive HSD3B1(1245) genotype is associated with GC resistance. This effect appears to be driven by GC suppression of 3β-HSD1 substrate. Our results suggest opportunities for prediction of GC resistance and pharmacologic intervention.

Abstract
We report the observation of spin-to-charge current conversion in strained mercury telluride at room temperature, using spin pumping experiments. We show that a HgCdTe barrier can be used to protect the HgTe from direct contact with the ferromagnet, leading to very high conversion rates, with inverse Edelstein lengths up to 2.0±0.5 nm. The influence of the HgTe layer thickness on the conversion efficiency is found to differ strongly from what is expected in spin Hall effect systems. These measurements, associated with the temperature dependence of the resistivity, suggest that these high conversion rates are due to the spin momentum locking property of HgTe surface states.

Abstract
Population-based birth cohorts on asthma and allergies increasingly provide new insights into the development and natural history of the diseases. More than 130 birth cohorts focusing on asthma and allergy have been initiated in the last 30 years. A National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy (MeDALL; Framework Programme 7 of the European Commission) joint workshop was held in Bethesda, Maryland, on September 11-12, 2012, with 3 objectives: (1) documenting the knowledge that asthma/allergy birth cohorts have provided, (2) identifying the knowledge gaps and inconsistencies, and (3) developing strategies for moving forward, including potential new study designs and the harmonization of existing asthma birth cohort data. The meeting was organized around the presentations of 5 distinct workgroups: (1) clinical phenotypes, (2) risk factors, (3) immune development of asthma and allergy, (4) pulmonary development, and (5) harmonization of existing birth cohorts. This article presents the workgroup reports and provides Web links (AsthmaBirthCohorts.niaid.nih.gov or www.medall-fp7.eu), where the reader will find tables describing the characteristics of the birth cohorts included in this report, the type of data collected at differing ages, and a selected bibliography provided by the participating birth cohorts.

Abstract
Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy (MeDALL), a Seventh Framework Program European Union project, aims to generate novel knowledge on the mechanisms of initiation of allergy. Precise phenotypes of IgE-mediated allergic diseases will be defined in MeDALL. As part of MeDALL, a scientific seminar was held on January 24, 2011, to review current knowledge on the IgE-related phenotypes and to explore how a multidisciplinary effort could result in a new integrative translational approach. This article provides a summary of the meeting. It develops challenges in IgE-related phenotypes and new clinical and epidemiologic approaches to the investigation of allergic phenotypes, including cluster analysis, scale-free models, candidate biomarkers, and IgE microarrays; the particular case of severe asthma was reviewed. Then novel approaches to the IgE-associated phenotypes are reviewed from the individual mechanisms to the systems, including epigenetics, human in vitro immunology, systems biology, and animal models. The last chapter deals with the understanding of the population-based IgE-associated phenotypes in children and adolescents, including age effect in terms of maturation, observed effects of early-life exposures and shift of focus from early life to pregnancy, gene-environment interactions, cohort effects, and time trends in patients with allergic diseases. This review helps to define phenotypes of allergic diseases in MeDALL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Communicating genetic research results to participants presents ethical challenges. Our objectives were to examine participants' preferences in receiving future genetic research results and to compare preferences reported by veteran and nonveterans participants. METHODS Secondary analysis was performed on data collected in 2000-2004 from 1,575 consent forms signed by Mexican-American participants enrolled in 2 genetic family studies (GFS) in San Antonio: The Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND) and the Extended FIND (EFIND). The consent forms for these studies contained multiple-choice questions to examine participants' preferences about receiving their (1) clinical lab results and (2) future genetic research results. The FIND and EFIND databases had information on subjects' demographic characteristics and some selected clinical variables. We identified veterans using the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA's) centralized data repository. We compared veterans' and nonveterans' preferences using Student's t test for continuous variables and χ² test for discrete variables. A logistic regression analyzed subjects' preference for receiving their research results, controlling for other socio-demographic and clinical variables. RESULTS The sample included 275 (18%) veterans and 1,247 (82%) nonveterans. Our results indicated a strong desire among the majority of participants 1,445 (95%) in getting their clinical lab research results. Likewise, 93% expressed interest in being informed about their future genetic results. There was no significant difference in veterans' and nonveterans' preference to disclosure of the research results (χ² test; p > 0.05). Regression analysis showed no significant relationship (p = 0.449) between the outcome (receiving research results) and veterans' responses after controlling for demographics and educational levels. CONCLUSION Participants believed they would prefer receiving their genetic research results. Veterans are similar to nonveterans in their preferences. Offering genetic research results to participants should be based on well defined and structured plans to enhance interpretation of genetic data.

Abstract
We report on the collective integration technology of vertically aligned nanowires (NWs). Si and ZnO NWs have been used in order to develop a generic technological process. Both mineral and organic planarizations of the as-grown nanowires have been achieved. Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) oxides, spin on glass (SOG), and polymer have been investigated as filling materials. Polishing and/or etching of the composite structures have been set up so as to obtain a suitable morphology for the top and bottom electrical contacts. Electrical and optical characterizations of the integrated NWs have been performed. Contacts ohmicity has been demonstrated and specific contact resistances have been reported. The photoconducting properties of polymer-integrated ZnO NWs have also been investigated in the UV-visible range through collective electrical contacts. A small increase of the resistivity in the ZnO NWs under sub-bandgap illumination has been observed and discussed. A comparison of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra at 300 K of the as-grown and SOG-integrated ZnO nanowires has shown no significant impact of the integration process on the crystal quality of the NWs.

Abstract
Evaluation of: Brasier AR, Sundar V, Boetticher G et al.: Molecular phenotyping of severe asthma using pattern recognition of bronchoalveolar lavage-derived cytokines. J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 121, 30-37 (2008). Asthma is a heterogeneous disorder presenting with many phenotypes. Precise phenotypic definition has eluded the medical research community for years, despite recognition of different disease subtypes. Brasier and colleagues sought to discriminate asthma phenotypes on the basis of cytokine profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage samples from 84 patients with mild-moderate and severe asthma. Their results demonstrated that this molecular phenotyping approach could be applied to categorizing asthma into subtypes based on pathobiology. This article will discuss the potential advantages of applying molecular phenotyping approaches to asthma and lung disease in general in the perspective of personalized medicine.

Abstract
7095 Background: CAT-3888 (BL22) is a recombinant anti-CD22 immunotoxin which showed phase I activity in chemo-resistant hairy cell leukemia (HCL). Methods: Eligible patients had relapsed HCL < 4-years after prior cladribine (CdA) and needed additional treatment based on blood counts. Patients were stratified into 2 groups by most recent CdA response of < 1 year or 1–4 years. A 3rd group was added for patients with uncontrolled infection. The study used a 2-stage design of 10 patients each for the first two strata with expansion to 17–30 if hematological remission (HR, i.e. ANC, platelets and Hgb at least 1.5, 100, and 11, respectively) was achieved in at least 3/10. The third strata allowed up to 5 patients. Patients received 40 ug/Kg every other day (QOD) ×3 on cycle 1. Those achieving HR were observed. Patients without a HR and no neutralizing antibodies were retreated at 30 ug/Kg QOD ×3 every 4 weeks beginning at least 8 weeks after cycle 1. Results: 35 patients were enrolled including 25, 9 and 1 in groups 1–3, respectively. CR (44% vs 48%) and overall response (ORR)(64% vs 89%) were similar in strata 1 and 2 with 16 (47%) CRs and 8 (24%) partial responses (PRs) overall. Response was particularly high in 22 with baseline spleen size < 200 mm (95% ORR; 59% CR, 36% PR) compared to patients with spleen height > 200 (ORR 20%, p = 0.001) or patients post-splenectomy (ORR 25%, p = 0.0003). The only serious toxicity was completely reversible grade 3 hemolytic uremic syndrome, not requiring plasmapheresis, in 1 (3%) patient on cycle 2. Neutralizing antibodies which prevented additional cycles were observed in 4 (11%) patients. Conclusions: The activity of CAT-3888 (BL22) in HCL is confirmed in this phase II trial. Toxicity may be limited by retreating only those who do not respond to 1 cycle. Optimal response to CAT-3888 (BL22) following CdA failure may be achieved before the occurrence of massive splenomegaly or splenectomy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Asthma is a heterogeneous disorder presenting with many phenotypes. Precise phenotypic definition has eluded the medical research community for years, despite recognition of different disease subtypes. Improved phenotypic characterization and knowledge of underlying pathobiology is necessary for linkage of specific genotypes with clinical disease manifestations. RECENT FINDINGS Phenotyping has been difficult because asthma is likely to be comprised of overlapping syndromes with varying origins and heterogeneous pathobiology. Currently, the field is too reliant on classification by trigger or symptoms. Since genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity are inherent in asthma, patients presenting with different asthma phenotypes may need tailored therapies. Studies have begun to link genetics with disease mechanism and therapeutic response. As disease etiology, onset, progression and severity vary greatly among patients, however, the relative contribution of genetic factors may be difficult to ascertain. Definition of the full array of complex biological consequences of molecular target modulation is a prerequisite for therapies based on this concept. SUMMARY The advent of targeted therapies for asthma and clinical trials based on phenotype and genotype have raised interest in more accurate description of asthma phenotypes. Therapies based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics may be useful in asthma management. A variety of factors, however, must be addressed before such approaches become standard.

Abstract
Over the last 20 years, the prevalence of asthma has nearly doubled and now affects 8-10% of the population in the United States. Asthma also remains a major illness in terms of morbidity and suffering, and is the leading cause of hospitalizations in children under 15 years of age. Because asthma poses a lifelong burden to patients and society, efforts to increase the understanding of its pathogenesis are a key factor leading to its control and cure. Consequently, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a Working Group of extramural experts, entitled "Future Research Directions in Asthma," on April 9-10, 2003, to identify research areas of greatest promise and opportunity in the field of asthma. The priority areas identified for research in asthma include: (1) innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and tolerance; (2) mechanisms and consequences of persistent asthma and asthma exacerbations; (3) airway remodeling: clinical consequences and reversibility (clinical relevance and resolution); (4) genetics/gene-environment interactions, pharmacogenetics; (5) intervention/prevention/therapeutics; and (6) vascular basis of asthma.

Abstract
Thirty patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, defined as > 5% bone marrow blasts, were treated with a combination of oral all-trans-retinoic acid (45 mg/m2 daily) and subcutaneous AraC (10 mg/m2) on days 1-14 of each 28-35 day cycle repeated for 2-6 cycles. Complete remission lasting 9, 12, and 15 months was achieved in three patients. Partial and minor response did not translate into meaningful clinical improvement, like complete responders. Overall incidence of leukemia transformation and survival of this cohort of patients was no different from the expected outcome for a group of patients with similar characteristics.

Abstract
The development of mental health care services in rural areas has been a constant challenge in most countries of significant geographical size. By use of a case study from Canada, the development of a relationship between rural and urban mental health services was described. Issues including referral patterns, service accessibility, professional recruitment and the development of service in rural regions were studied. It is advanced that mental health administrators, policy-makers, clinical service coordinators and educators will find that this approach to the development of mental health services in rural areas has some utility in Canada and in other countries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the results of laparoscopic splenectomy as a treatment for immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of all patients who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy for ITP at our institution between August 1992 and May 1997. RESULTS Of 27 patients who underwent attempted laparoscopic splenectomy for ITP at our institution during the study period, 26 had completion of the procedure without conversion to an open splenectomy. The median postoperative hospital stay was 1.5 days, and no postoperative deaths occurred. In one patient, pancreatitis developed postoperatively. In four patients, splenectomy failed--two initially and two subsequently--and reinstitution of medical therapy was necessary. The other patients have remained free of medication, and 19 patients have platelet counts greater than 100 x 10(9)/L. The 3-year actuarial success rate was 81.5%. Response to corticosteroid therapy preoperatively may be an indicator of success of splenectomy. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic splenectomy is safe and allows prompt recovery. Long-term response rates are similar to those achieved with open splenectomy.

Abstract
We have evaluated the activity and toxicity of cytosine arabinoside (ara-C; 750 mg/m2 intravenously given over 3 hours every 12 hours for 12 doses) to induce remission in older (median age, 73 years) newly diagnosed patients who had acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). A maximum of two cycles of induction were administered. Patients who achieved complete remission could receive three additional consolidation courses limited to 4 to 6 doses of ara-C every 12 hours, depending on marrow cellularity. Thirty patients were evaluable. Twenty-two patients had one or more unfavorable prognostic factors, including antecedent hematologic disorders (10), cytogenetic abnormalities (17), or hyperleucocytosis (5). Fourteen patients (47%) achieved complete remission. Four patients did not receive consolidation as planned because of medical contraindication or refusal, and three patients relapsed during consolidation. The median duration of complete remission was 326 days. Sixteen patients failed induction because of relative or absolute drug resistance in nine patients, or death in seven patients. Median survival for the entire group was 6 months. Toxicity was significant, with a median initial hospitalization of 29 days. These results are comparable to those reported in the literature and suggest that this regimen may be considered to be an alternative to an anthracycline-containing regimen.

Abstract
Pure erythroid malignancies, such as Di Guglielmo disease (DG), in which the predominant immature elements are proerythroblasts, are excluded from the French-American-British (FAB) classification for acute leukemia and do not fit neatly into any of the categories of myelodysplasia. This retrospective review compares the clinical and laboratory features of DG and erythroleukemia (FAB M6) among 37 cases treated at a single institution over a 7-year period. DG was defined as >30% proerythroblasts and the absence of a myeloblastic component. Clinical and laboratory features were similar in both subtypes. High proportions of secondary leukemias and prior myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) were noted (M6, 13 of 26 cases; DG, five of 11 cases; p = 0.85). Pancytopenia was common at presentation in both groups [median white blood cells (WBC), 2,600/mm3; HgB, 8.65 gm/dl; platelets, 38,000/microl]. Two-thirds of studied cases had chromosomal abnormalities typified by major karyotypic abnormalities (MAKA) involving three or more chromosomes. Abnormalities involving chromosome 5 and/or 7 occurred in 47% (48% M6 and 45% DG). Both erythroid malignancies carried a poor prognosis (M6, 6.0-month median survival; DG, 4-month survival; p = 0.74). Among those patients choosing aggressive rather than palliative therapy, higher remission rate (80 versus 25%) and survival advantage (11.5 versus 2.5 months) were seen in M6 compared to DG. However, only two long-term survivors exist. The similar clinical and laboratory features, cytogenetic patterns, and poor survival data suggest that the FAB classification schema should be modified to include DG.

Abstract
The authors present a case of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome with the particularity of a simultaneous palsy of both oculomotor nerves. The evolution is followed during 16 years. The clinical description, the criteria of the syndrome and the differential diagnosis are discussed. The diagnosis is based on the clinical evolution, the transitory palsy of the oculomotor nerves and the involvement of the optic nerve. The response on steroid treatment was spectacular. Bilateral and fluctuant oculomotor palsy is possible in the TolosaHunt syndrome. General investigations are mandatory to exclude other pathologies.

Abstract
Current evidence strongly implicates the chromosome translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) as the cause of chronic granulocytic leukemia. Therefore, identification of this genetic abnormality through either cytogenetic or molecular methods has become a requirement for diagnosis. Intense investigation of the mechanism by which t(9;22) transforms normal hematopoietic progenitors into malignant cells is ongoing. Recent advances in molecular diagnostic methods have allowed refined qualitative and quantitative methods of detecting t(9;22), which are useful for monitoring response status and detecting minimal residual disease. The current understanding of the pathogenesis of chronic granulocytic leukemia and the application of new diagnostic methods are discussed.

Abstract
Motion sickness is a common phenomenon affecting most patients at some point in life. Car sickness, airsickness, seasickness, and space sickness all involve a neural mismatch or confusion between the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems that produces the symptoms of motion sickness. Therapy is directed toward decreasing conflicting sensory input, controlling nausea, and speeding the process of adaptation.
