Abstract
Background: The opioid epidemic continues to erode communities across Pennsylvania (PA). Federal and PA state programs developed grants to establish Hub and Spoke programs for the expansion of medications for opioid use disorders (MOUD). Employing the telementoring platform Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes), Penn State Health engaged the other seven grant awardees in a Collaborative Health Systems (CHS) ECHO. We conducted key informant interviews to better understand impact of the CHS ECHO on health systems collaboration and opioid crisis efforts. Methods: For eight one-hour sessions, each awardee presented their unique strategies, challenges, and opportunities. Using REDCap, program characteristics, such as number of waivered prescribers and number of patients served were collected at baseline. After completion of the sessions, key informant interviews were conducted to assess the impact of CHS ECHO on awardee's programs. Results: Analysis of key informant interviews revealed important themes to address opioid crisis efforts, including the need for strategic and proactive program reevaluation and the convenience of collaborative peer learning networks. Participants expressed benefits of the CHS ECHO including allowing space for discussion of challenges and best practices and facilitating conversation on collaborative targeted advocacy and systems-level improvements. Participants further reported bolstered motivation and confidence. Conclusions: Utilizing Project ECHO provided a bidirectional platform of learning and support that created important connections between institutions working to combat the opioid epidemic. CHS ECHO was a unique opportunity for productive and convenient peer learning across external partners. Open dialogue developed during CHS ECHO can continue to direct systems-levels improvements that benefit individual and population outcomes.

Abstract
Simple Summary The use of multi-gene testing platforms to individualize treatment is rapidly expanding into routine oncology practice. UGT1A1, which encodes for the uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 enzyme, is commonly included on multi-gene molecular testing assays. UGT1A1 polymorphisms may influence drug-induced toxicities of numerous medications used in oncology. However, guidance for incorporating UGT1A1 results into therapeutic decision-making is sparse and can differ depending on the referenced resource. We summarize the literature describing associations between UGT1A1 polymorphisms and toxicity risk with irinotecan, belinostat, pazopanib, and nilotinib. Resources that provide recommendations for UGT1A1-guided drug prescribing are reviewed, and considerations for implementation into patient care are provided. Abstract Multi-gene assays often include UGT1A1 and, in certain instances, may report associated toxicity risks for irinotecan, belinostat, pazopanib, and nilotinib. However, guidance for incorporating UGT1A1 results into therapeutic decision-making is mostly lacking for these anticancer drugs. We summarized meta-analyses, genome-wide association studies, clinical trials, drug labels, and guidelines relating to the impact of UGT1A1 polymorphisms on irinotecan, belinostat, pazopanib, or nilotinib toxicities. For irinotecan, UGT1A1*28 was significantly associated with neutropenia and diarrhea, particularly with doses ≥ 180 mg/m2, supporting the use of UGT1A1 to guide irinotecan prescribing. The drug label for belinostat recommends a reduced starting dose of 750 mg/m2 for UGT1A1*28 homozygotes, though published studies supporting this recommendation are sparse. There was a correlation between UGT1A1 polymorphisms and pazopanib-induced hepatotoxicity, though further studies are needed to elucidate the role of UGT1A1-guided pazopanib dose adjustments. Limited studies have investigated the association between UGT1A1 polymorphisms and nilotinib-induced hepatotoxicity, with data currently insufficient for UGT1A1-guided nilotinib dose adjustments.

Abstract
This 42-day study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with β-1,3-glucan (Aleta™) on the vaccination response to Newcastle disease virus (NDV), avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and infectious bursal disease (IBD) in a non-challenged environment. This trial included 600 chicks (all vaccinated with IBD at the hatchery) which were assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: vaccination (NDV, IBV), no vaccination, or vaccination combined with feed supplemented with Aleta (100 g/MT of feed). The vaccination with Aleta treatment group showed a trend for improved FCR that was not statistically significant. Control birds that were not vaccinated for IBV had significantly lower IBV titers on day 21 compared to birds that were vaccinated (both with and without Aleta). Surprisingly, there was significant separation among treatment groups for NDV titer levels, especially on day 21, where birds vaccinated and supplemented with Aleta had significantly higher titer levels compared to vaccination alone or no vaccination at all. Critically, only 14% of the birds receiving the vaccine plus Aleta had titer levels below the critical titer threshold for immunity compared to 28% of the birds receiving the vaccine alone and 40% of the unvaccinated birds. This suggests that Aleta supplementation may help to improve the vaccination response by birds, especially for NDV.
