Abstract
Background Handovers during medical emergencies are challenging due to time-critical, dynamic and oftentimes unorderly and distracting situations. We evaluated the effect of distraction-reduced clinical surroundings during handover on (1) the recall of handover information, (2) the recall of information from the surroundings and (3) self-reported workload in a simulated in-hospital cardiac arrest scenario. Methods In a parallel group design, emergency team leaders were randomly assigned to receive a structured handover of a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) either inside the room ("inside group") right next to the ongoing CPR or in front of the room ("outside group") with no audio-visual distractions from the ongoing CPR. Based on the concept of situation awareness, the primary outcome was a handover score for the content of the handover (0-19 points) derived from the pieces of information given during handover. Furthermore, we assessed team leaders' perception of their surroundings during the scenario (0-5 points) and they rated their subjective workload using the NASA Task Load Index. Results The outside group (n = 30) showed significant better recall of handover information than the inside group (n = 30; mean difference = 1.86, 95% CI = 0.67 to 3.06, p = 0.003). The perception of the surroundings (n = 60; mean difference = -0.27, 95% CI = -0.85 to 0.32, p = 0.365) and the NASA Task Load Index (n = 58; mean difference = 1.1; p = 0.112) did not differ between the groups. Conclusions Concerning in-hospital emergencies, a structured handover in a distraction reduced environment can improve information uptake of the team leader.

Abstract
Rhodopsin guanylyl cyclases (RGCs) belong to the class of enzymerhodopsins catalyzing the transition from GTP into the second messenger cGMP, whereas light-regulation of enzyme activity is mediated by a membrane-bound microbial rhodopsin domain, that holds the catalytic center inactive in the dark. Structural determinants for activation of the rhodopsin moiety eventually leading to catalytic activity are largely unknown. Here, we investigate the mechanistic role of the D283-C259 (DC) pair that is hydrogen bonded via a water molecule as a crucial functional motif in the homodimeric C. anguillulae RGC. Based on a structural model of the DC pair in the retinal binding pocket obtained by MD simulation, we analyzed formation and kinetics of early and late photocycle intermediates of the rhodopsin domain wild type and specific DC pair mutants by combined UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy at ambient and cryo-temperatures. By assigning specific infrared bands to S-H vibrations of C259 we are able to show that the DC pair residues are tightly coupled. We show that deprotonation of D283 occurs already in the inactive L state as a prerequisite for M state formation, whereas structural changes of C259 occur in the active M state and early cryo-trapped intermediates. We propose a comprehensive molecular model for formation of the M state that activates the catalytic moiety. It involves light induced changes in bond strength and hydrogen bonding of the DC pair residues from the early J state to the active M state and explains the retarding effect of C259 mutants.

Abstract
The Greifswald multi-reflection time-of-flight setup has been extended with a magnetron sputtering gas aggregation source for the production of atomic cluster ions with sizes ranging from a single to thousands of atoms. This source, combined with a newly added quadrupole mass filter and a linear Paul trap, opens up the possibility of many new atomic-cluster studies not feasible with the setup before. The new components and their interfacing with the previous setup are described, and benchmarking as well as the first experimental results are presented. The capability of the system to handle singly charged ions with masses of several ten thousand atomic mass units is demonstrated.

Abstract
Millisecond-delayed photodissociation of gas-phase Sn22- clusters stored in a Penning trap is investigated as a function of excitation energy. Sn15- is the only significant charged fragment, indicative of the break-off of neutral heptamers. Fits of the time-resolved fragmentation require a distribution of decay constants, caused by the finite width of the internal energy distribution of the cluster ensemble prior to photoexcitation. A lower limit for the dissociation energy for the loss of Sn7 is determined to be 2.1(1) eV, a factor of two above literature quantum chemical calculations.

Abstract
Isomers close to doubly magic _{28}^{78}Ni_{50} provide essential information on the shell evolution and shape coexistence near the Z=28 and N=50 double shell closure. We report the excitation energy measurement of the 1/2^{+} isomer in _{30}^{79}Zn_{49} through independent high-precision mass measurements with the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap and with the ISOLTRAP multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer. We unambiguously place the 1/2^{+} isomer at 942(10) keV, slightly below the 5/2^{+} state at 983(3) keV. With the use of state-of-the-art shell-model diagonalizations, complemented with discrete nonorthogonal shell-model calculations which are used here for the first time to interpret shape coexistence, we find low-lying deformed intruder states, similar to other N=49 isotones. The 1/2^{+} isomer is interpreted as the bandhead of a low-lying deformed structure akin to a predicted low-lying deformed band in ^{80}Zn, and points to shape coexistence in ^{79,80}Zn similar to the one observed in ^{78}Ni. The results make a strong case for confirming the claim of shape coexistence in this key region of the nuclear chart.

Abstract
The development of high intensity petawatt lasers has created new possibilities for ion acceleration and nuclear fusion using solid targets. In such laser-matter interaction, multiple ion species are accelerated with broad spectra up to hundreds of MeV. To measure ion yields and for species identification, CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors are frequently used. However, these detectors are limited in their applicability for multi-ion spectra differentiation as standard image recognition algorithms can lead to a misinterpretation of data, there is no unique relation between track diameter and particle energy, and there are overlapping pit diameter relationships for multiple particle species. In this report, we address these issues by first developing an algorithm to overcome user bias during image processing. Second, we use calibration of the detector response for protons, carbon and helium ions (alpha particles) from 0.1 to above 10 MeV and measurements of statistical energy loss fluctuations in a forward-fitting procedure utilizing multiple, differently filtered CR-39, altogether enabling high-sensitivity, multi-species particle spectroscopy. To validate this capability, we show that inferred CR-39 spectra match Thomson parabola ion spectrometer data from the same experiment. Filtered CR-39 spectrometers were used to detect, within a background of ~ 2 × 1011 sr-1 J-1 protons and carbons, (1.3 ± 0.7) × 108 sr-1 J-1 alpha particles from laser-driven proton-boron fusion reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) occur in all types of brain injury and may be associated with detrimental effects in ischemic stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage. While rapid hematoma growth during intracerebral hemorrhage triggers SDs, their role in intracerebral hemorrhage is unknown. METHODS We used intrinsic optical signal and laser speckle imaging, combined with electrocorticography, to investigate the effects of SD on hematoma growth during the hyperacute phase (0-4 hours) after intracortical collagenase injection in mice. Hematoma expansion, SDs, and cerebral blood flow were simultaneously monitored under normotensive and hypertensive conditions. RESULTS Spontaneous SDs erupted from the vicinity of the hematoma during rapid hematoma growth. We found that hematoma growth slowed down by >60% immediately after an SD. This effect was even stronger in hypertensive animals with faster hematoma growth. To establish causation, we exogenously induced SDs (every 30 minutes) at a remote site by topical potassium chloride application and found reduced hematoma growth rate and final hemorrhage volume (18.2±5.8 versus 10.7±4.1 mm3). Analysis of cerebral blood flow using laser speckle flowmetry revealed that suppression of hematoma growth by spontaneous or induced SDs coincided and correlated with the characteristic oligemia in the wake of SD, implicating the vasoconstrictive effect of SD as one potential mechanism of action. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal that SDs limit hematoma growth during the early hours of intracerebral hemorrhage and decrease final hematoma volume.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are believed to contribute to injury progression and worsen outcomes in focal cerebral ischemia because exogenously induced SDs have been associated with enlarged infarct volumes. However, previous studies used highly invasive methods to trigger SDs that can directly cause tissue injury (eg, topical KCl) and confound the interpretation. Here, we tested whether SDs indeed enlarge infarcts when induced via a novel, noninjurious method using optogenetics. METHODS Using transgenic mice expressing channelrhodopsin-2 in neurons (Thy1-ChR2-YFP), we induced 8 optogenetic SDs to trigger SDs noninvasively at a remote cortical location in a noninjurious manner during 1-hour distal microvascular clip or proximal an endovascular filament occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Laser speckle imaging was used to monitor cerebral blood flow. Infarct volumes were then quantified at 24 or 48 hours. RESULTS Infarct volumes in the optogenetic SD arm did not differ from the control arm in either distal or proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion, despite a 6-fold and 4-fold higher number of SDs, respectively. Identical optogenetic illumination in wild-type mice did not affect the infarct volume. Full-field laser speckle imaging showed that optogenetic stimulation did not affect the perfusion in the peri-infarct cortex. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, these data show that SDs induced noninvasively using optogenetics do not worsen tissue outcomes. Our findings compel a careful reexamination of the notion that SDs are causally linked to infarct expansion.

Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers strong soft tissue contrast but suffers from long acquisition times and requires tedious annotation from radiologists. Traditionally, these challenges have been addressed separately with reconstruction and image analysis algorithms. To see if performance could be improved by treating both as end-to-end, we hosted the K2S challenge, in which challenge participants segmented knee bones and cartilage from 8× undersampled k-space. We curated the 300-patient K2S dataset of multicoil raw k-space and radiologist quality-checked segmentations. 87 teams registered for the challenge and there were 12 submissions, varying in methodologies from serial reconstruction and segmentation to end-to-end networks to another that eschewed a reconstruction algorithm altogether. Four teams produced strong submissions, with the winner having a weighted Dice Similarity Coefficient of 0.910 ± 0.021 across knee bones and cartilage. Interestingly, there was no correlation between reconstruction and segmentation metrics. Further analysis showed the top four submissions were suitable for downstream biomarker analysis, largely preserving cartilage thicknesses and key bone shape features with respect to ground truth. K2S thus showed the value in considering reconstruction and image analysis as end-to-end tasks, as this leaves room for optimization while more realistically reflecting the long-term use case of tools being developed by the MR community.

Abstract
The development of new modes at x-ray free electron lasers has inspired novel methods for studying fluctuations at different energies and timescales. For closely spaced x-ray pulses that can be varied on ultrafast time scales, we have constructed a pair of advanced instruments to conduct studies targeting quantum materials. We first describe a prototype instrument built to test the proof-of-principle of resonant magnetic scattering using ultrafast pulse pairs. This is followed by a description of a new endstation, the so-called fluctuation-dissipation measurement instrument, which was used to carry out studies with a fast area detector. In addition, we describe various types of diagnostics for single-shot contrast measurements, which can be used to normalize data on a pulse-by-pulse basis and calibrate pulse amplitude ratios, both of which are important for the study of fluctuations in materials. Furthermore, we present some new results using the instrument that demonstrates access to higher momentum resolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thanks to direct-acting antivirals, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can be cured, with similar rates in HCV-infected and HIV-HCV co-infected patients. HCV cure is likely to foster behavioral changes in psychoactive substance use, which is highly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH). Cannabis is one substance that is very commonly used by PLWH, sometimes for therapeutic purposes. We aimed to identify correlates of cannabis use reduction following HCV cure in HIV-HCV co-infected cannabis users and to characterize persons who reduced their use. METHODS We used data collected on HCV-cured cannabis users in a cross-sectional survey nested in the ANRS CO13 HEPAVIH cohort of HIV-HCV co-infected patients, to perform logistic regression, with post-HCV cure cannabis reduction as the outcome, and socio-behavioral characteristics as potential correlates. We also characterized the study sample by comparing post-cure substance use behaviors between those who reduced their cannabis use and those who did not. RESULTS Among 140 HIV-infected cannabis users, 50 and 5 had reduced and increased their use, respectively, while 85 had not changed their use since HCV cure. Cannabis use reduction was significantly associated with tobacco use reduction, a decrease in fatigue level, paying more attention to one's dietary habits since HCV cure, and pre-HCV cure alcohol abstinence (p = 0.063 for alcohol use reduction). CONCLUSIONS Among PLWH using cannabis, post-HCV cure cannabis reduction was associated with tobacco use reduction, improved well-being, and adoption of healthy behaviors. The management of addictive behaviors should therefore be encouraged during HCV treatment.

Abstract
The Fourier-transform limit achieved by a linear spectral phase is the typical optimum by the generation of ultrashort light pulses. It provides the highest possible intensity, however, not the shortest full width at half maximum of the pulse duration, which is relevant for many experiments. The approach for achieving shorter pulses than the original Fourier limit is termed temporal superresolution. We demonstrate this approach by shaping the spectral phase of light from an optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier and generate sub-Fourier limited pulses. We also realize it in a simpler way by controlling only the amplitude of the spectrum, producing a shorter Fourier-limited duration. Furthermore, we apply this technique to an optical parametric synthesizer and generate multi-TW sub-4-fs light pulses. This light source is a promising tool for generating intense and isolated attosecond light and electron pulses.

Abstract
Enzymerhodopsins represent a recently discovered class of rhodopsins which includes histidine kinase rhodopsin, rhodopsin phosphodiesterases, and rhodopsin guanylyl cyclases (RGCs). The regulatory influence of the rhodopsin domain on the enzyme activity is only partially understood and holds the key for a deeper understanding of intra-molecular signaling pathways. Here, we present a UV-Vis and FTIR study about the light-induced dynamics of a RGC from the fungus Catenaria anguillulae, which provides insights into the catalytic process. After the spectroscopic characterization of the late rhodopsin photoproducts, we analyzed truncated variants and revealed the involvement of the cytosolic N-terminus in the structural rearrangements upon photo-activation of the protein. We tracked the catalytic reaction of RGC and the free GC domain independently by UV-light induced release of GTP from the photolabile NPE-GTP substrate. Our results show substrate binding to the dark-adapted RGC and GC alike and reveal differences between the constructs attributable to the regulatory influence of the rhodopsin on the conformation of the binding pocket. By monitoring the phosphate rearrangement during cGMP and pyrophosphate formation in light-activated RGC, we were able to confirm the M state as the active state of the protein. The described setup and experimental design enable real-time monitoring of substrate turnover in light-activated enzymes on a molecular scale, thus opening the pathway to a deeper understanding of enzyme activity and protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises rare disorders that manifest with fragility and blistering of the skin and mucous membranes, with variable clinical severity. Management of EB is challenging due to disease rarity and complexity, the wide range of extracutaneous manifestations and a profound impact on daily life for the patient and family members. Although reference centres providing multidisciplinary care for EB exist in each European country, it is common for healthcare professionals that are not specialized in this rare disorder to treat EB patients. Here, experts of the European Reference Network for Rare and Undiagnosed Skin Diseases (ERN-Skin, https://ern-skin.eu) propose practical recommendations for the diagnosis and management of the commonest clinical issues, skin blisters and wounds, oral manifestations, pain and itch.

Abstract
Bacterial phytochromes are sensoric photoreceptors that transform light absorbed by the photosensor core module (PCM) to protein structural changes that eventually lead to the activation of the enzymatic output module. The underlying photoinduced reaction cascade in the PCM starts with the isomerization of the tetrapyrrole chromophore, followed by conformational relaxations, proton transfer steps, and a secondary structure transition of a peptide segment (tongue) that is essential for communicating the signal to the output module. In this work, we employed various static and time-resolved IR and resonance Raman spectroscopic techniques to study the structural and reaction dynamics of the Meta-F intermediate of both the PCM and the full-length (PCM and output module) variant of the bathy phytochrome Agp2 from Agrobacterium fabrum. In both cases, this intermediate represents a branching point of the phototransformation, since it opens an unproductive reaction channel back to the initial state and a productive pathway to the final active state, including the functional protein structural changes. It is shown that the functional quantum yield, i.e. the events of tongue refolding per absorbed photons, is lower by a factor of ca. two than the quantum yield of the primary photochemical process. However, the kinetic data derived from the spectroscopic experiments imply an increased formation of the final active state upon increasing photon flux or elevated temperature under photostationary conditions. Accordingly, the branching mechanism does not only account for the phytochrome's function as a light intensity sensor but may also modulate its temperature sensitivity.

Abstract
Background:Baricitinib (BARI), an oral, selective Janus kinase (JAK)1 and JAK2 inhibitor, improved disease severity in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) receiving standard background therapy in a phase 2 trial1. There were no meaningful reductions in least squares mean change from baseline (BL) in levels of serologic biomarkers for SLE with BARI treatment, including anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (anti-dsDNA) antibodies and complement component (C)3 and C41.Objectives:Evaluate the median change from BL in serologic biomarkers in subgroups and the overall population of BARI-treated SLE patients, in addition to the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index-4 (SRI-4) response by normalization of anti-dsDNA.Methods:Data were assessed from the phase 2 trial JAHH (NCT02708095). The median change from BL in anti-dsDNA, IgG, C3, and C4 was evaluated over time among the following populations at BL: anti-dsDNA positive (≥30 IU/mL), low C3 (<90 mg/dL), low C4 (<10 mg/dL), and all patients for IgG. Statistical tests were conducted for BARI 2-mg and 4-mg compared with placebo (PBO). Among patients who were anti-dsDNA positive at BL, SRI-4 responder rate was compared for those who stayed positive or achieved normal levels by Week (Wk) 24.Results:Among patients who were anti-dsDNA positive at BL, significant decreases of anti-dsDNA antibodies were observed for BARI 2-mg and 4-mg compared to PBO beginning at Wks 2 and 4, respectively, and continuing through Wk 24 (Figure 1 and Table 1). Moreover, reductions of IgG levels were found for BARI-treated patients including significant decreases for BARI 4-mg compared to PBO at Wks 12 and 24 (Table 1). Among patients who had low levels of C3 and C4 at BL, no significant differences in median change from BL were observed over time with BARI compared to PBO. For patients who were anti-dsDNA positive at BL, no relationship in SRI-4 responder rate was observed for those who stayed positive or achieved normal levels by Wk 24, possibly due to the limited sample size.Conclusion:BARI treatment resulted in a rapid and sustained significant decrease in anti-dsDNA antibodies compared to PBO among anti-dsDNA positive SLE patients at BL, as well as a significant decrease in IgG levels in the 4-mg group at Wks 12 and 24. These data suggest that BARI may have an effect on B cell activity in SLE.References:[1]Wallace D et al.

Abstract
Recurrent waves of spreading depolarization (SD) occur in brain injury and are thought to affect outcomes. What triggers SD in intracerebral hemorrhage is poorly understood. We employed intrinsic optical signaling, laser speckle flowmetry, and electrocorticography to elucidate the mechanisms triggering SD in a collagenase model of intracortical hemorrhage in mice. Hematoma growth, SD occurrence, and cortical blood flow changes were tracked. During early hemorrhage (0-4 h), 17 out of 38 mice developed SDs, which always originated from the hematoma. No SD was detected at late time points (8-52 h). Neither hematoma size, nor peri-hematoma perfusion were associated with SD occurrence. Further, arguing against ischemia as a trigger factor, normobaric hyperoxia did not inhibit SD occurrence. Instead, SDs always occurred during periods of rapid hematoma growth, which was two-fold faster immediately preceding an SD compared with the peak growth rates in animals that did not develop any SDs. Induced hypertension accelerated hematoma growth and resulted in a four-fold increase in SD occurrence compared with normotensive animals. Altogether, our data suggest that spontaneous SDs in this intracortical hemorrhage model are triggered by the mechanical distortion of tissue by rapidly growing hematomas.

Abstract
The performance of a multi-reflection time-of-flight (MR-ToF) mass spectrometer is evaluated under the use of four voltage feedback loops to actively regulate its mirror potentials. Different electronic hardware is characterized to find the most useful configuration for parallel regulation of all of the MR-ToF analyzer's reflecting potentials. The gain in mass resolving power for low-abundance ion species is demonstrated by measuring pairs of molecular isobars of zinc clusters and analyzed in the context of expected flight-time fluctuations. For higher-abundance species, the resolving powers reached in short- and long-term measurements are probed with bismuth-cluster ions, resulting in values up to 500 000 and 200 000, respectively, in the absence of offline corrections. Additionally, feedback-loop regulation is found to be advantageous for changes of experiment cycles in which voltages are switched for, e.g., ion ejection.

Abstract
Background Statins inhibit the cholesterol biosynthesis and are used as cholesterol-lowering agents in fat-metabolism disorders. Furthermore, several studies state that statins have supportive functions in breast cancer treatment. Therefore, simvastatin (SVA) as a potential radiosensitizer should be investigated on the basis of human breast cells. Methods First, an optimal concentration of SVA for normal (MCF10A) and cancer (MCF-7) cells was identified via growth and cytotoxicity assays that, according to the definition of a radiosensitizer in the narrower sense, enhances the effect of radiation therapy but has no cytotoxic effect. Next, in combination with radiation SVA's influence on DNA repair capacity and clonogenic survival in 2D and 3D was determined. Furthermore cell cycle distribution, expression of survivin and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) as well as ERK1 map kinase were analysed. Results 1 μM SVA was identified as highest concentration without an influence on cell growth and cytotoxicity and was used for further analyses. In terms of early and residual γH2AX-foci, SVA affected the number of foci in both cell lines with or without irradiation. Different radiation responses were detected in 2D and 3D culture conditions. During the 2D cultivation, a radiosensitizing effect within the clonogenic survival was observable, but not in 3D. Conclusion The present study suggests that SVA may have potential for radiosensitization. Therefore, it is important to further investigate the role of SVA in relation to the extent of radiosensitization and how it could be used to positively influence the therapy of breast cancer or other entities.

Abstract
Background:Disease activity in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) can be measured by BASDAI and ASDAS. Both instruments were validated in non-pregnant patients with cutoff values for active diseases. In pregnant women with axSpA, however, BASDAI and ASDAS scores might be biased by signs and symptoms of pregnancy itself.Objectives:To compare the performance of ASDAS and BASDAI during pregnancyMethods:Patients with axSpA were prospectively followed before pregnancy, at each trimester and 6 to 12 weeks postpartum. Disease activity was assessed by BASDAI, ASDAS, patient global assessment (PGA) and physician global assessment (PhGA). We analysed the disease course throughout pregnancy and postpartum, the correlation between BASDAI and ASDAS and the agreement in the classification of active disease. We applied receiver operating curves (ROC) to evaluate the cut-off points in pregnant patients.Results:The study involved 40 women with axSpA. Disease activity scores were higher during pregnancy (median ASDAS score: 2.5, median BASDAI score 3.1) than during a non-pregnant state (median ASDAS score 2.3, median BASDAI score 2.1). Median BASDAI scores were highest at the first trimester, median ASDAS scores were highest at the second trimester. ASDAS strongly correlated with BASDAI, both in the pregnant and in the non-pregnant state (r=0.796, r=0.727). However, there was a discordance when analysing the proportion of patients with high disease activity using the common cut-off values (ASDAS >2.1, BASDAS >4). More patients had high disease activity when measured by ASDAS (1st trimester (T): 63%, 2nd T: 76%, 3rd T: 61%) compared to those measured by BASDAI (1st T 43%, 2nd T: 39%, 3rd T: 34%). The κ coefficient showed only fair agreement (κ=0.39). ROC analysis among pregnant patients showed that the cut-off point estimation for high disease activity using ASDAS >2.75 corresponded to a BASDAI >4. The ASDAS >2.75 cut-off for high disease activity had a good agreement with BASDAI >4 (κ=0.657). When ASDAS >2.75 was applied in pregnant women with axSpA, about 40% experienced high disease activity.Conclusion:During pregnancy, the majority of women with axSpA experience ongoing disease activity. However, the cut-off values defining low and high disease activity might differ between pregnant and non-pregnant individuals since BASDAI and ASDAS are biased by pregnancy related symptoms like fatigue and mechanical back pain.Disclosure of Interests:None declared.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The arrival of highly effective, well-tolerated, direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) led to a dramatic decrease in hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-HCV–coinfected patients are deemed a priority population for HCV elimination, while a rise in recently acquired HCV infections in men who have sex with men (MSM) has been described. We describe the variations in HIV-HCV epidemiology in the French Dat’AIDS cohort.
Methods
This was a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of persons living with HIV (PLWH) from 2012 to 2018. We determined HCV prevalence, HCV incidence, proportion of viremic patients, treatment uptake, and mortality rate in the full cohort and by HIV risk factors.
Results
From 2012 to 2018, 50 861 PLWH with a known HCV status were followed up. During the period, HCV prevalence decreased from 15.4% to 13.5%. HCV prevalence among new HIV cases increased from 1.9% to 3.5% in MSM but remained stable in other groups. Recently acquired HCV incidence increased from 0.36/100 person-years to 1.25/100 person-years in MSM. The proportion of viremic patients decreased from 67.0% to 8.9%. MSM became the first group of viremic patients in 2018 (37.9%). Recently acquired hepatitis represented 59.2% of viremic MSM in 2018. DAA treatment uptake increased from 11.4% to 61.5%. More treatments were initiated in MSM in 2018 (41.2%) than in intravenous drug users (35.6%). In MSM, treatment at the acute phase represented 30.0% of treatments in 2018.
Conclusions
A major shift in HCV epidemiology was observed in PLWH in France from 2012 to 2018, leading to a unique situation in which the major group of HCV transmission in 2018 was MSM.

Abstract
Nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs), also called “nanodiscs”, are discoidal particles with a patch of lipid bilayer corralled by apolipoproteins. NLPs have long been of interest due to both their utility as membrane-model systems into which membrane proteins can be inserted and solubilized and their physiological role in lipid and cholesterol transport via HDL and LDL maturation, which are important for human health. Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) at X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) is a powerful approach for structural biology of membrane proteins, which are traditionally difficult to crystallize as large single crystals capable of producing high-quality diffraction suitable for structure determination. To facilitate understanding of the specific role of two apolipoprotein/lipid complexes, ApoA1 and ApoE4, in lipid binding and HDL/LDL particle maturation dynamics and develop new SFX methods involving NLP membrane protein encapsulation, we have prepared and crystallized homogeneous populations of ApoA1 and ApoE4 NLPs. Crystallization of empty NLPs yields semi-ordered objects that appear crystalline and give highly anisotropic and diffuse X-ray diffraction, similar in characteristics to fiber diffraction. Several unit cell parameters were approximately determined for both NLPs from these measurements. Thus, low-background, sample conservative methods of delivery are critical. Here we implemented a fixed target sample delivery scheme utilizing the Roadrunner fast-scanning system and ultra-thin polymer/graphene support films, providing a low-volume, low-background approach to membrane protein SFX. This study represents initial steps in obtaining structural information for ApoA1 and ApoE4 NLPs and developing this system as a supporting scaffold for future structural studies of membrane proteins crystalized in a native lipid environment.

Abstract
Observed multiple adverse effects of livestock production have led to increasing calls for more sustainable livestock production. Quantitative analysis of adverse effects, which can guide public debate and policy development in this area, is limited and generally scattered across environmental, human health, and other science domains. The aim of this study was to bring together and, where possible, quantify and aggregate the effects of national-scale livestock production on 17 impact categories, ranging from impacts of particulate matter, emerging infectious diseases and odor annoyance to airborne nitrogen deposition on terrestrial nature areas and greenhouse gas emissions. Effects were estimated and scaled to total Dutch livestock production, with system boundaries including feed production, manure management and transport, but excluding slaughtering, retail and consumption. Effects were expressed using eight indicators that directly express Impact in the sense of the Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response framework, while the remaining 14 express Pressures or States. Results show that livestock production may contribute both positively and negatively to human health with a human disease burden (expressed in disability-adjusted life years) of up to 4% for three different health effects: those related to particulate matter, zoonoses, and occupational accidents. The contribution to environmental impact ranges from 2% for consumptive water use in the Netherlands to 95% for phosphorus transfer to soils, and extends beyond Dutch borders. While some aggregation across impact categories was possible, notably for burden of disease estimates, further aggregation of disparate indicators would require normative value judgement. Despite difficulty of aggregation, the assessment shows that impacts receive a different contribution of different animal sectors. While some of our results are country-specific, the overall approach is generic and can be adapted and tuned according to specific contexts and information needs in other regions, to allow informed decision making across a broad range of impact categories.

Abstract
Monoclonal anti-proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PSCK9) neutralizing antibodies effectively lower plasma cholesterol levels and decrease cardiovascular events but also raised some concern that cognitive function could worsen as a side effect. Here, we performed experiments in mice to characterize the effect of anti-PCSK9 antibodies on behavior and cognitive function in detail. APOE*3Leiden.CETP mice and B6129SF1/J wildtype mice were fed a Western type diet and treated with the fully human anti-PCSK9 antibody CmAb1 (PL-45134; 10mg*kg-1 s.c.) or vehicle for 6 weeks. Locomotor activity, anxiety levels, recognition memory, and spatial learning were investigated using the open field, novel object recognition test, and Morris water maze, respectively. Serum cholesterol levels in APOE*3Leiden.CETP mice after treatment with anti-PCSK9 antibody were significantly lower compared to controls whereas cholesterol levels in B6129SF1/J wildtype mice remained unchanged at low levels. No apparent differences were found regarding locomotor activity, anxiety, recognition memory, and spatial learning between animals treated with anti-PCSK9 antibody or vehicle in APOE*3Leiden.CETP and B6129SF1/J wildtype mice. In this study, we found no evidence that treatment with anti-PCSK9 antibodies lead to differences in behavior or changes of cognition in mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are recurrent and ostensibly spontaneous depolarization waves that may contribute to infarct progression after stroke. Somatosensory activation of the metastable peri-infarct tissue triggers peri-infarct SDs at a high rate. METHODS We directly measured the functional activation threshold to trigger SDs in peri-infarct hot zones using optogenetic stimulation after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion in Thy1-ChR2-YFP mice. RESULTS Optogenetic activation of peri-infarct tissue triggered SDs at a strikingly high rate (64%) compared with contralateral homotopic cortex (8%; P=0.004). Laser speckle perfusion imaging identified a residual blood flow of 31±2% of baseline marking the metastable tissue with a propensity to develop SDs. CONCLUSIONS Our data reveal a spatially distinct increase in SD susceptibility in peri-infarct tissue where physiological levels of functional activation are capable of triggering SDs. Given the potentially deleterious effects of peri-infarct SDs, the effect of sensory overstimulation in hyperacute stroke should be examined more carefully.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) induces pro-inflammatory gene expression in brain tissue. However, previous studies assessing the relationship between CSD and inflammation have used invasive methods that directly trigger inflammation. To eliminate the injury confounder, we induced CSDs non-invasively through intact skull using optogenetics in Thy1-channelrhodopsin-2 transgenic mice. We corroborated our findings by minimally invasive KCl-induced CSDs through thinned skull. Six CSDs induced over 1 h dramatically increased cortical interleukin-1β (IL-1β), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA expression peaking around 1, 2 and 4 h, respectively. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were only modestly elevated. A single CSD also increased IL-1β, CCL2, and TNF-α, and revealed an ultra-early IL-1β response within 10 min. The response was blunted in IL-1 receptor-1 knockout mice, implicating IL-1β as an upstream mediator, and suppressed by dexamethasone, but not ibuprofen. CSD did not alter systemic inflammatory indices. In summary, this is the first report of pro-inflammatory gene expression after non-invasively induced CSDs. Altogether, our data provide novel insights into the role of CSD-induced neuroinflammation in migraine headache pathogenesis and have implications for the inflammatory processes in acute brain injury where numerous CSDs occur for days.

Abstract
The aim of the first port of this study was to select the optimal technique for the enumeration and identification of viable mould propagules in the indoor air of houses. A comparison was made between the results obtained with six commercially available air sampling devices in combination with four culture media. The optimal technique was defined as the technique with the best precision and the highest yield. The coefficients of variation were high (generally > 20%) for all combinations. Statistical analysis showed that the Slit sampler and the N6-Andersen sampler in combination with DG18 and MEA gave the best precision and the highest yield in terms of CFU/m3 and number of species isolated. In the second part of this study the presence of viable mould propagules in the indoor air of 46 houses in relation to the dampness of these houses was investigated, using the N6-Andersen sampler in combination with DG18. To assess the variability in time, the measurements were repeated after five weeks. Overall, between the two periods no difference was found between the average number of CFU/m3 in the investigated homes. However, the variation between homes was much smaller than the variation within homes. The mean number of CFU/m3 was somewhat higher in “damp” houses than in “dry” houses. However, this difference was not significant. Furthermore, there were no demonstrable differences in the presence of specific mould species in “damp” and “dry” houses.

Abstract
Repeated switching of electric potentials within a single experimental cycle is introduced for a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (also known as an electrostatic ion beam trap) in order to eject different ion species after different storage times. The method is demonstrated with two cluster ions with considerably different mass-to-charge ratios (the A = 624 and 832 isotopologues of Pb3 + and Pb4 +, respectively) for the specific case where the sequential ejections result in an identical number of revolution periods. Thus, the ions' flight lengths are identical, and the resulting time-of-flight values allow single-reference mass determination. The requirements for the switching time window are studied in detail. For the present system and ion pair, the relative mass uncertainty is found to be 3 · 10-7 for short measurements (≈10 min) and 6 · 10-8 for longer ones (≈2 h).

Abstract
For serial femtosecond crystallography at X-ray free-electron lasers, which entails collection of single-pulse diffraction patterns from a constantly refreshed supply of microcrystalline sample, delivery of the sample into the X-ray beam path while maintaining low background remains a technical challenge for some experiments, especially where this methodology is applied to relatively low-ordered samples or those difficult to purify and crystallize in large quantities. This work demonstrates a scheme to encapsulate biological samples using polymer thin films and graphene to maintain sample hydration in vacuum conditions. The encapsulated sample is delivered into the X-ray beam on fixed targets for rapid scanning using the Roadrunner fixed-target system towards a long-term goal of low-background measurements on weakly diffracting samples. As a proof of principle, we used microcrystals of the 24 kDa rapid encystment protein (REP24) to provide a benchmark for polymer/graphene sandwich performance. The REP24 microcrystal unit cell obtained from our sandwiched in-vacuum sample was consistent with previously established unit-cell parameters and with those measured by us without encapsulation in humidified helium, indicating that the platform is robust against evaporative losses. While significant scattering from water was observed because of the sample-deposition method, the polymer/graphene sandwich itself was shown to contribute minimally to background scattering.

Abstract
Reliable sample delivery and efficient use of limited beam time have remained bottlenecks for serial crystallography (SX). Using a high-intensity polychromatic X-ray beam in combination with a newly developed charge-integrating JUNGFRAU detector, we have applied the method of fixed-target SX to collect data at a rate of 1 kHz at a synchrotron-radiation facility. According to our data analysis for the given experimental conditions, only about 3 000 diffraction patterns are required for a high-quality diffraction dataset. With indexing rates of up to 25%, recording of such a dataset takes less than 30 s.

Abstract
Temporal-intensity contrast is crucial in intense laser-matter interaction to circumvent the undesirable expansion of steep high-density plasma prior to the interaction with the main pulse. Nonlinear elliptical polarization rotation in an argon filled hollow-core fiber is used here for cleaning pedestals/satellite pulses of a chirped-pulse-amplifier based Ti:Sapphire laser. This source provides ∼35 μJ energy and sub-4-fs duration, and the process has >50% internal efficiency, more than the most commonly used pulse cleaning methods. Further, the contrast is improved by 3 orders of magnitude when measured after amplifying the pulses to 16 TW using non-collinear optical parametric chirped pulse amplification with a prospect to even further enhancement.

Abstract
Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are algal light-gated ion channels widely used as optogenetic tools for manipulating neuronal activity. ChRs desensitize under continuous bright-light illumination, resulting in a significant decline of photocurrents. Here we describe a metagenomically identified family of phylogenetically distinct anion-conducting ChRs (designated MerMAIDs). MerMAIDs almost completely desensitize during continuous illumination due to accumulation of a late non-conducting photointermediate that disrupts the ion permeation pathway. MerMAID desensitization can be fully explained by a single photocycle in which a long-lived desensitized state follows the short-lived conducting state. A conserved cysteine is the critical factor in desensitization, as its mutation results in recovery of large stationary photocurrents. The rapid desensitization of MerMAIDs enables their use as optogenetic silencers for transient suppression of individual action potentials without affecting subsequent spiking during continuous illumination. Our results could facilitate the development of optogenetic tools from metagenomic databases and enhance general understanding of ChR function. Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are algal light-gated ion channels used as optogenetic tools for manipulating neuronal activity. Here authors present a metagenomically identified family of phylogenetically distinct anion-conducting ChRs (MerMAIDs) which desensitize during continuous illumination due to accumulation of a non-conducting photointermediate.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- Mechanisms contributing to acute hematoma growth in intracerebral hemorrhage are not well understood. Neuropathological studies suggest that the initial hematoma may create mass effect that can tear vessels in the vicinity by shearing, causing further bleeding and hematoma growth. Methods- To test this in mice, we simulated initial intracerebral hemorrhage by intrastriatal injection of a liquid polymer that coagulates upon contact with tissue and measured the presence and volume of bleeding secondary to the mass effect using Hemoglobin ELISA 15 minutes after injection. Results- Secondary hemorrhage occurred in a volume-dependent (4, 7.5, or 15 μL of polymer) and rate-dependent (0.05, 0.5, or 5 μL/s) manner. Anticoagulation (warfarin or dabigatran) exacerbated the secondary hemorrhage volume. In a second model of hematoma expansion, we confirmed that intrastriatal whole blood injection (15 μL, 0.5 μL/s) also caused secondary bleeding, using acute Evans blue extravasation as a surrogate. Anticoagulation once again exacerbated secondary hemorrhage after intrastriatal whole blood injection. Secondary hemorrhage directly and significantly correlated with arterial blood pressures in both nonanticoagulated and anticoagulated mice, when modulated by phenylephrine or labetalol. Conclusions- Our study provides the first proof of concept for secondary vessel rupture and bleeding as a potential mechanism for intracerebral hematoma growth.

Abstract
The origin of deterministic macroscopic properties often lies in microscopic stochastic motion. Magnetic fluctuations that manifest as domain avalanches and chaotic magnetization jumps exemplify such stochastic motion and have been studied in great detail. Here we report Fourier space studies of avalanches in a system exhibiting competing magnetic stripe and skyrmion phase using a soft X-ray speckle metrology technique. We demonstrate the existence of phase boundaries and underlying critical points in the stripe and skyrmion phases. We found that distinct scaling and universality classes are associated with these domain topologies. The magnitude and frequency of abrupt magnetic domain jumps observed in the stripe phase are dramatically reduced in the skyrmion phase. Our results provide an incisive way to probe and understand phase stability in systems exhibiting complex spin topologies. Switching of magnetic materials often occurs through discrete random avalanches. Singh et al. observe sharply reduced avalanches in the topologically protected skyrmion phase of a Fe/Gd heterostructure and obtain different critical behaviour in the stripe and skyrmion phases, suggesting distinct universality classes.

Abstract
Respiratory rate is an important risk marker and enables early detection of critically ill and vulnerable patients in clinical routine. The aim of this pilot study with 31 patients (COPD severity levels II - IV) was to determine the mean nocturnal respiratory rate based on breath sound recordings and to investigate the dependence of respiratory rate on COPD severity level and smoker status. The mean respiratory rate of the total collective was 19/min. For the COPD-GOLD severity levels, no significant differences in mean respiratory rate could be observed. When nicotine consumption is taken into account, active smokers showed a significantly higher mean respiratory rate of 20.84 ± 4.45/min compared to non-smokers with 17.41 ± 3.14/min (p < 0.05). In addition, active smokers in the study were significantly more frequent among patients with night-time wheezing (60 % vs. 23.8 %). This might suggest that smokers need to perform increased breathing work with increased breathing rate to compensate for oxygen deficiency in bronchial obstruction. The results of the present study show that with the acoustic recording of breath sounds, a reliable representation and calculation of the breath frequency is possible.
