Abstract
A large public nursing data set was used to determine whether orientation and/or preceptor programs impact job satisfaction among registered nurses in Maine and Massachusetts. There was no association between orientation and preceptor programs and satisfaction, nor evidence that new nurse status modified the relationship. There is a need for evaluation of orientation and preceptor programs' structure and effectiveness, and innovation is needed in promoting job satisfaction, thereby increasing nurse retention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy is increasing. Data relating to investigation and management, as well as maternal and foetal outcomes is lacking in a United Kingdom (UK) population. METHODS In this retrospective study we report data from 119 patients diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy from 14 cancer centres in the UK across a five-year period (2016-2020). RESULTS Median age at diagnosis was 33 years, with breast, skin and haematological the most common primary sites. The majority of cases were new diagnoses (109 patients, 91.6%). Most patients were treated with radical intent (96 patients, 80.7%), however, gastrointestinal cancers were associated with a high rate of palliative intent treatment (63.6%). Intervention was commenced during pregnancy in 68 (57.1%) patients; 44 (37%) had surgery and 31 (26.1%) received chemotherapy. Live births occurred in 98 (81.7%) of the cases, with 54 (55.1%) of these delivered by caesarean section. Maternal mortality during the study period was 20.2%. CONCLUSIONS This is the first pan-tumour report of diagnosis, management and outcomes of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy in the UK. Our findings demonstrate proof of concept that data collection is feasible and highlight the need for further research in this cohort of patients.

Abstract
Low-volume sampling devices offer the promise of lower discomfort and greater convenience for patients, potentially reducing patient burden and enabling decentralized clinical trials. In this study, we determined whether low-volume sampling devices produce pharmacokinetic (PK) data comparable to conventional venipuncture for a diverse set of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and small molecules. We adopted an open-label, non-randomized, parallel-group, single-site study design, with four cohorts of 10 healthy subjects per arm. The study drugs, doses, and routes of administration included: crenezumab (15 mg/kg, intravenous infusion), etrolizumab (210 mg, subcutaneous), GDC-X (oral), and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ, 200 mg, oral). Samples were collected after administration of a single dose of each drug using conventional venipuncture and three low-volume capillary devices: TassoOne Plus for liquid blood, Tasso-M20 for dry blood, both applied to the arm, and Neoteryx Mitra® for dry blood obtained from fingertips. Serum/plasma concentrations from venipuncture and TassoOne Plus samples overlapped and PK parameters were comparable for all drugs, except HCQ. After applying a baseline hematocrit value, the dry blood concentrations and PK parameters for the two monoclonal antibodies were comparable to those obtained from venipuncture. For the two small molecules, two bridging strategies were evaluated for converting dry blood concentrations to equivalent plasma concentrations. A baseline hematocrit correction and/or linear regression-based correction was effective for GDC-X, but not for HCQ. Additionally, the study evaluated the bioanalytical data quality and comparability from the various collection methods, as well as patient preference for the devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal metastases are commonly seen in patients with cancer and often indicate a poor prognosis. Treatment can include curative or palliative surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The surgical approach varies widely on the basis of the affected region of the spine, the location of the tumor (anterior versus posterior), the goal of surgery, the health of the patient, and surgeon preference. OBSERVATIONS The authors present a case of a 68-year-old male with intractable lower-back pain and substantially diminished ambulation. Diagnostic imaging revealed a lumbar metastasis from a cholangiocarcinoma primary at L2-3 (4.5 cm anteroposterior × 5.7 cm transverse × 7.0 cm craniocaudal). The patient underwent a 2-level vertebrectomy with expandable cage placement and T10 to S2 fusion via a posterior-only approach. The patient regained much of his mobility and quality of life after the surgery. LESSONS Although this was a high-risk surgery, the authors show that a posterior-only approach can be used for lumbar vertebrectomies and fusion when necessary. Palliative surgeries carrying a high risk, especially in the setting of a limited prognosis, should include multidisciplinary deliberations and a thorough discussion of the risks and outcome expectations with the patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Prenatal myelomeningocele (MMC) repair is performed to decrease risk for treatment of hydrocephalus after birth and to preserve motor function. Some centers may not consider patients candidates for surgery if severe ventriculomegaly is present and there is no expected benefit in decreased risk for hydrocephalus treatment. This study sought to compare postnatal outcomes of fetuses with MMC and severe ventriculomegaly (>15mm) who underwent prenatal repair, with fetuses with severe ventriculomegaly who underwent postnatal repair and fetuses with ventriculomegaly (<15mm) who underwent prenatal repair. METHODS This was a retrospective study of fetuses with MMC that underwent prenatal or postnatal repair between 2012 and 2021 at a single institution. The cohort was divided based on preoperative fetal ventricular size into two groups, those with severe ventriculomegaly (≥15 mm) and those without severe ventriculomegaly (<15 mm). Fetal ventricular size was measured by MRI prior to surgery using the standardized approach and the mean of the left and right ventricle was used for analysis. Motor function of lower extremities was assessed at the time of referral by ultrasound and if flexion-extension movements of the ankle were seen, it was considered as preserved S1 motor function. Postnatal outcomes including motor function of lower extremities assessed at birth and need for diversion procedure for hydrocephalus treatment during the first year of life were collected and compared between groups. Data was presented as median and range or number and percentages as appropriate. P value >0.05 was considered statistically significant. Multivariate regression analysis was used to adjust for potential confounders. RESULTS 154 patients were included in this study: 145 patients underwent fetal surgery (101 fetoscopic and 44 open hysterotomy) and 9 patients with severe ventriculomegaly underwent postnatal repair. Among the 145 patients who underwent fetal surgery, 22 presented with severe ventriculomegaly. Prenatally repaired fetuses with severe ventriculomegaly at referral were at a significantly higher need for hydrocephalus treatment by 12 months than those without severe ventriculomegaly (62% vs. 29%, p<0.01). However, motor function assessment at birth was similar between both prenatally repaired groups (OR=0.92, 95% CI [0.33-2.59], p=0.88) adjusted for the anatomical level of the lesion. The prenatally repaired group with severe ventriculomegaly had better preserved motor function levels at birth compared to the postnatal repair group with severe ventriculomegaly (L3 with 11.1% S1 motor function; p=<0.01 and p=<0.01). Prenatally repaired patients with severe ventriculomegaly had an 18.9 times chance of having an intact motor function at birth [95% CI (1.2 - 290.1)] adjusted for ethnicity, presence of clubfeet at referral, and gestational age at delivery compared to postnatal repair. There was not a significant difference in the need for hydrocephalus treatment in the first year of life between prenatal and postnatal repair of patients with severe ventriculomegaly (61.9% vs 87.5%, p=0.18). CONCLUSIONS Although fetuses with MMC and severe ventriculomegaly do not seem to benefit from fetal surgery in terms of postnatal hydrocephalus treatment, they benefit from increased chance of preserved motor function at birth. Results from this study highlight the benefits of having prenatal MMC repair for cases with severe ventriculomegaly at referral to preserve motor function. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maine (ME) and Massachusetts (MA) nursing programs aim to develop collaborative training programs, but need to identify which nurses have interest in such programs. PURPOSE We sought to determine sociodemographics of nurses seeking advanced nursing degrees nationally, and in ME and MA using the 2018 publicly available, National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN). METHODS Weighted multivariable logistic regression for advanced degree-seeking, adjusted for sociodemographics. RESULTS Of the n = 47,274 nurses (weighted n [Wn] = 3,608,633), 90.7 % were female, 74.1 % were white, and 15.8 % sought an advanced nursing degree on average 12.7 (SD 0.2) years after their first. Females vs. males had lower odds (OR 0.63, 95%CI [0.44-0.90]) and Black vs. White race had higher odds (OR 1.30, 95%CI [1.05-1.60]) of seeking doctorates. In Maine (Wn = 20,389), age 24-29 had higher odds (OR 2.98 (95%CI [1.06-3.74]), but in Massachusetts (Wn = 101,984), age 30+ had lower odds (OR 0.32, 95%CI [0.13-0.78]) of degree-seeking vs. <24 years. Initial nursing degrees earned between 1980 and 1989 had higher odds (OR 1.99, 95%CI [1.06-3.74]) in Maine, but between 2010 and 2014 had lower odds (OR 0.32, 95%CI [0.14-0.72]) in Massachusetts of degree-seeking, vs. before 1980. CONCLUSIONS Targets for advanced nursing training programs may vary by state and sociodemographic profile.

Abstract
The pore-forming S. aureus α-toxin (Hla) contributes to virulence and disease pathogenesis. While high concentrations of toxin induce cell death, neutrophils exhibit relative resistance to lysis, suggesting that the action of Hla may not be solely conferred by lytic susceptibility. Using intravital microscopy, we observed that Hla disrupts neutrophil localization and clustering early in infection. Hla forms a narrow, ion-selective pore, suggesting that Hla may dysregulate calcium or other ions to impair neutrophil function. We found that sub-lytic Hla did not permit calcium influx but caused rapid membrane depolarization. Depolarization decreases the electrogenic driving force for calcium, and concordantly, Hla suppressed calcium signaling in vitro and in vivo and calcium-dependent leukotriene B4 (LTB4) production, a key mediator of neutrophil clustering. Thus, Hla disrupts the early patterning of the neutrophil response to infection, in part through direct impairment of neutrophil calcium signaling. This early mis-localization of neutrophils may contribute to establishment of infection.

Abstract
Purpose To report on the visual outcomes of the second-generation (ActivShieldTM) Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) used in cataract surgery for patients with a history of laser refractive surgery (LASIK and/or photorefractive keratectomy [PRK]) using a co-managed, open-access methodology. Patients and Methods This retrospective case series of consecutive patients with history of laser refractive surgery implanted with the second-generation LAL with an emmetropic target were included in the study. Following surgery, all patients received their ultraviolet (UV) light treatments at a separate open-access facility through a co-managed arrangement. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), spherical equivalent (SE), and residual cylinder for eyes with an emmetropic refractive target were the primary outcome measures as documented at the patient's final, stable, refractive postoperative exam. Results Thirty-three patients (34 eyes) with a history of laser refractive surgery were included in the study and implanted with the second-generation LAL with a postoperative emmetropic refractive target. Twenty-eight (82.4%) saw 20/20 or better and 9 (26.5%) saw 20/15 or better. The mean SE was 0.01 ± 0.31 D and 33 (97.1%) were within ±0.50 D SE of plano. The mean residual cylinder was -0.28 ± 0.32 D and 30 (88.2%) were within ±0.50 D. Conclusion Use of the second-generation LAL was efficacious in cataract surgical patients with a history of LASIK and/or PRK using a co-managed, open-access methodology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Decompressive lumbar laminectomy (DLL) is a common procedure for lumbar stenosis. A unilateral approach, unlike the traditional open approach, spares the posterior elements to mitigate the risk of iatrogenic instability associated with a DLL. Various minimally invasive techniques have been described but little attention has been aimed toward this specific microsurgical approach, particularly regarding obese patients. We aimed to compare operative details, perioperative outcomes, and complication profiles between obese and nonobese patients. METHODS One hundred and ninety-four patients who underwent bilateral laminectomy with a unilateral approach by the study surgeon from July 2013 to June 2018 were included. Of these patients, 105 were classified as obese, with body mass index (BMI) ≥30.0 kg/m2, and 89 were nonobese, with BMI <30.0 kg/m2. The obese and nonobese groups were compared; operative time, blood loss, and complications were assessed. RESULTS Operative time was nonsignificantly increased in the obese group (177 vs. 166 minutes; P = 0.21) and estimated blood loss was nonsignificantly lower (91 mL vs. 97 mL; P = 1.00) in the obese group. Durotomy rates (3 [2.9%] obese vs. 2 [2.2%] nonobese; P = 0.789) and postoperative wound drainage rates (4 [3.8%] obese vs. 2 [3.8%] nonobese; P = 0.92) did not significantly differ between the 2 groups. Length of stay was significantly longer in the obese group (1.5 vs. 1.0 days; P = 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS Compared with the nonobese group, the obese group had significantly longer length of hospitalization, as well as nonsignificantly increased length of operation and decreased blood loss. The 2 groups had similar perioperative complication rates.

Abstract
Introduction Hypercholesterolemia is known to be a major contributor to the morbidity associated with cardiovascular disease and has been hypothesized to result in degenerative changes to the spine through atherosclerosis of segmental lumbar vessels. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between hypercholesterolemia and degenerative lumbar spine conditions in a U.S. cohort. Methods A total of 30,461 participated in the 2018 Medicare Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Of those, 1,063 subjects responded to whether a diagnosis of lumbar disorders with low back pain was present. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated, and logistic regression analyses were adjusted for demographic, education, occupation, cardiovascular and mental health conditions. Results Of the 1,063 respondents, 455 (43%) reported back pain. Mean age of the respondents was 62.7±16.1. Men and women reported back pain at similar rates (43% vs 45%, p=0.664). Age, race, education level and occupation were similar between those with and without back pain (p>0.05). Those with a diagnosis of depression had higher odds of having back pain (p<0.05). Prevalence of back pain in subjects who responded to the back pain diagnosis item on the survey was 42.6%. On univariate analysis, diagnosis of total cholesterol levels was significantly higher in those with a diagnosis of back pain (OR 1.36, 95% CI [1.20-1.54], p<.0001). Multivariable analysis showed that hypercholesterolemia was independently associated with back pain (adjusted OR 1.32, 95% CI [1.04-1.68], p=0.021) after controlling for covariates. Conclusions In this study, subjects with hypercholesterolemia were 34% more likely to have back pain after controlling for confounders which presents as a recent discovery amongst U.S. populations. Further studies should be performed to investigate the management of hypercholesterolemia in the development and progression of degenerative lumbar back pain.

Abstract
To safeguard bread wheat against pests and diseases, breeders have introduced over 200 resistance genes into its genome, thus nearly doubling the number of designated resistance genes in the wheat gene pool1. Isolating these genes facilitates their fast-tracking in breeding programs and incorporation into polygene stacks for more durable resistance. We cloned the stem rust resistance gene Sr43, which was crossed into bread wheat from the wild grass Thinopyrum elongatum2,3. Sr43 encodes an active protein kinase fused to two domains of unknown function. The gene, which is unique to the Triticeae, appears to have arisen through a gene fusion event 6.7 to 11.6 million years ago. Transgenic expression of Sr43 in wheat conferred high levels of resistance to a wide range of isolates of the pathogen causing stem rust, highlighting the potential value of Sr43 in resistance breeding and engineering.

Abstract
Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients with comorbidities and/or advanced age are increasingly considered for treatment with CD19 CAR T, but data on the clinical benefit of CAR T in the less fit patient population are still limited. We analysed outcomes of consecutive patients approved for treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) or tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) by the UK National CAR T Clinical Panel, according to fitness for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). 81/404 (20%) of approved patients were deemed unfit for ASCT. Unfit patients were more likely to receive tisa-cel versus axi-cel (52% vs. 48%) compared to 20% versus 80% in ASCT-fit patients; p < 0.0001. The drop-out rate from approval to infusion was significantly higher in the ASCT-unfit group (34.6% vs. 23.5%; p = 0.042). Among infused patients, response rate, progression-free and overall survival were similar in both cohorts. CAR T was well-tolerated in ASCT-unfit patients with an incidence of grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity of 2% and 11%, respectively. Results from this multicentre real-world cohort demonstrate that CD19 CAR T can be safely delivered in carefully selected older patients and patients with comorbidities who are not deemed suitable for transplant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteopathic match rates in competitive specialties, such as orthopaedics, have been under intense scrutiny. This study aimed to quantify trends in the characteristics of Osteopathic Orthopaedic Surgical Residency training and education from graduating classes of 2010-2020. METHODS This was a retrospective evaluation of a large, longitudinally maintained database of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) from orthopaedic residency graduating classes of 2010-2020. Trends in characteristics were analyzed, including the resident's age at graduation from medical school and residency, gender, advanced degree status, College or School of Osteopathic Medicine (COM/SOM), residency, and residency class year. RESULTS Overall, the number of osteopathic orthopaedic residents had a 32.9% increase from 85 to 113 per year, graduating over the past decade. Statistical forecasting predicts a 27.8% increase in osteopathic orthopaedic residents over the next decade. The percent composition of osteopathic students entering orthopaedic residency class by gender remained relatively stable. The average percent male composition of the orthopaedic residency class was 90.5%, ranging from a maximum of 96.1% and a minimum of 83.7%. While the average percent female composition of orthopaedic residency class was 9.5% for the past decade, statistical forecasting predicts that over the next decade, the average percent composition of females in orthopaedic residency will be 5.8%. The average age of residents at graduation was 33.4 years, while across the decade, resident age at graduation decreased by 9.8%. On average, female orthopaedic residents at graduation were younger than male orthopaedic residents. Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institute (OPTI)-West/Community Memorial Health System Orthopaedic Surgery Residency had the highest average age at residency graduation (35.7 years), and Lake Erie COM/York Hospital Orthopaedic Surgery Residency had the youngest average age at residency graduation (32 years). Edward Via COM-Carolinas Campus had the highest average age at graduation from medical school (30.5 years), and Touro COM had the lowest average age at graduation from medical school (26.7 years). Only 3.3% of osteopathic orthopaedic residents had additional advanced degrees. Philadelphia COM produced the most significant number of orthopaedic residents (89) and trained the most female orthopaedic surgeons of any program over the ten years. CONCLUSIONS The number of osteopathic medical students entering orthopaedics has increased over the past decade. However, there remains a lack of a similar increasing trend of female osteopathic medical students entering osteopathic orthopaedic residency programs. Interestingly, the age of osteopathic orthopaedic residents at graduation decreased across the decade, while advanced degrees did not play a statistically significant factor in matching into orthopaedic surgery. The osteopathic medical school was the most significant predicting factor in matching into orthopaedic surgery. With such knowledge, greater efforts should aim to enhance osteopathic medical student exposure to orthopaedic programs to maintain quality candidate interest in this competitive field, including female prospects, while also increasing the holistic diversity of characteristics within the field of orthopaedic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research sought consensus from both experts and graduates on postgraduate epidemiology competencies. METHODS In 2021, a two-round online survey using a modified Delphi method was undertaken exploring competencies across six domains. Focus groups were conducted with recent postgraduate epidemiology graduates to assess their viewpoints on learning experiences and employability. RESULTS Forty-one experts participated in the first Delphi round. Nineteen factors reached consensus (>70% agreement) for importance and feasibility after two survey rounds in the following domains: general epidemiologic methods/concepts (n=8/13), advanced analytic/statistical skills (n=2/7), applied epidemiology/specialised fields (n=1/4), professional/transferrable skills (n=5/14), general public health knowledge/skills (n=2/4), independent research and work-integrated learning (n=1/3). Nine graduates participated in focus groups. A main theme was the substantial value gained in undertaking a dissertation, acknowledging its benefit for applying research skills and for networking opportunities. CONCLUSIONS To ensure that high-quality epidemiological research and practice continues, we need consensus on the set of essential skills required of graduating students. IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH Competencies for postgraduate epidemiology students require periodic review to safeguard a workforce that can meet emerging challenges and work across academia, research, policy, and practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Between September 2016 and November 2020, 17 cases of difficult-to-treat resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DTR-PA) were reported in haematology patients at a tertiary referral hospital in the North of England. AIM A retrospective case-control study was conducted to investigate the association between DTR-PA infection and clinical interventions, patient movement, antimicrobial use and comorbidities. METHODS Cases were patients colonized or infected with the outbreak strain of DTR-PA who had been admitted to hospital prior to their positive specimen. Exposures were extracted from medical records, and cases were compared with controls using conditional logistic regression. Environmental and microbiological investigations were also conducted. FINDINGS Seventeen cases and 51 controls were included. The final model included age [>65 years, adjusted OR (aOR) 6.85, P=0.232], sex (aOR 0.60, P=0.688), admission under the transplant team (aOR 14.27, P=0.43) and use of ciprofloxacin (aOR 102.13, P=0.030). Investigations did not indicate case-to-case transmission or a point source, although a common environmental source was highly likely. CONCLUSION This study found that the use of fluoroquinolones is an independent risk factor for DTR-PA in haematology patients. Antimicrobial stewardship and review of fluoroquinolone prophylaxis should be considered as part of PA outbreak investigations in addition to standard infection control interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blastomyces dermatitidis is a fungus endemic to central and southern North America. While infection most commonly results in pneumonia, a small number of infections progress to systemic disease, which may include intracranial lesions. Progression to systemic disease is most common in immunocompromised patients, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus. OBSERVATIONS The authors present a 44-year-old immunocompetent male who presented following a tonic-clonic seizure. Initial workup revealed a 19-mm enhancing intracranial mass. There was avid uptake of fluorescein sodium, and an en bloc resection of the mass was performed. Histopathology revealed B. dermatitidis. Medical management included amphotericin B and azole therapy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and no focal neurological deficits were appreciated. LESSONS This case highlights the neurosurgical management of a rare intracranial fungal manifestation in an immunocompetent patient. A literature review was also performed to better understand the role of neurosurgery in fungal infections. There were limited cases of intracranial Blastomyces reported in immunocompetent patients, and neurosurgical management varied (no intervention, biopsy, resection) and was underreported. Too few cases are reported to suggest neurosurgical intervention for blastomycosis improves outcomes. Medical management was relatively standard with azole and amphotericin therapy.

Abstract
Current pharmaceutical treatments addressing obesity are plagued by high costs, low efficacy and adverse side effects. Natural extracts are popular alternatives, but evidence for their anti-obesity properties is scant. We assessed the efficacy of a green (minimally-oxidized) Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) extract (GRT) to ameliorate the effects of obesogenic feeding in rats, by examining body weight, metabolic measures, adipose tissue cellularity and tissue-resident adipose stem cells (ASCs). Furthermore, we performed statistical correlations to explore the relationships and interactions between metabolic and adipose tissue measures. Using an in vivo/ex vivo study design, male Wistar rats were maintained for 17 weeks on one of 3 diets: CON (laboratory chow), OB1 (high-sugar, medium fat) or OB2 (high-fat, high-cholesterol) (n = 24 each). From weeks 11-17, half of the animals in each group received oral GRT supplementation (60 mg per kg body weight daily). Blood and tissue samples were collected, and ASCs from each animal were cultured. Diets OB1 and OB2 induced divergent metabolic profiles compared to CON, but metabolic measures within dietary groups were mostly unaffected by GRT supplementation. Notably, diets OB1 and OB2 uncoupled the positive association between visceral adiposity and insulin resistance, while GRT uncoupled the positive association between elevated serum cholesterol and liver damage. Obesogenic feeding and GRT supplementation induced adipocyte enlargement in vivo, but lipid accumulation in cultured ASCs did not differ between dietary groups. Larger adipocyte size in subcutaneous fat was associated with favourable glucose metabolism measures in all GRT groups. In conclusion, GRT affected the associations between systemic, adipose tissue-level and cellular measures against the background of obesogenic diet-induced metabolic dysregulation.

Abstract
Ipatasertib is a selective, small molecule Akt inhibitor that is currently being developed for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Darolutamide is an androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor that is approved for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Ipatasertib is metabolized by CYP3A4 to form a less active metabolite M1 (G-037720). Ipatasertib is also a weak time-dependent CYP3A4 inhibitor. Darolutamide is a mild CYP3A4 inducer and is metabolized into an active keto-darolutamide metabolite via CYP3A4. In this Phase 1b open-label, single sequence crossover study, ipatasertib pharmacokinetics safety and tolerability were evaluated in combination with darolutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (n = 15 patients). Specifically, the effect of 600 mg BID of darolutamide on 400 mg QD ipatasertib was evaluated in this study. Based on pharmacokinetic analysis, a mild reduction in ipatasertib AUC0–24 h,ss and Cmax,ss exposures was observed (~8% and ~21%, respectively) when administered in combination with darolutamide, which is considered not clinically meaningful. M1 exposures were similar with and without darolutamide administration. Darolutamide and keto-darolutamide exposures in combination with ipatasertib were similar to previously reported exposures for single agent darolutamide. Overall, the combination appears to be well-tolerated in the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer indication with very few AEs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Management of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) involves minimizing expansion of the thrombus and promoting the recanalization of the venous sinus. While current guidelines include indications of endovascular management and anticoagulation with heparin and warfarin, the use of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has increased. In this study, we aim to conduct a network meta-analysis comparing these 3 therapeutic options: standard anticoagulation, DOACs, and endovascular treatments (EVTs). METHODS Seventeen of 2265 studies identified from 4 publication databases met inclusion criteria for this network meta-analysis. Outcomes analyzed included modified Rankin Scale score, complications, mortality, and 6-month recanalization rates using a frequentist network meta-analysis approach. For each outcome, the preferential order of each intervention was ranked hierarchically based on P-score calculations used for frequentist network meta-analyses. RESULTS Modified Rankin Scale outcomes were not significantly different based on the type of treatment modality (i.e., standard anticoagulation, DOACs, or EVT). Evaluation of complications demonstrated that patients treated with EVT were significantly more likely to experience a worse outcome than individuals treated with standard anticoagulation (odds ratio [OR] = 1.83, P = 0.04). Other comparisons did not demonstrate a significant difference in adverse events. For all-cause mortality outcomes, EVT demonstrated significantly greater odds of mortality than standard anticoagulation (OR = 1.89, P = 0.02). Mortality between DOACs and standard anticoagulation was not significantly different. When comparing 6-month recanalization rates, DOACs and EVT were significantly more effective than standard anticoagulation (OR = 1.93, OR = 2.2, P < 0.05). EVT followed by DOACs was preferred over standard anticoagulation for 6-month recanalization rates. CONCLUSIONS This network meta-analysis evaluates the outcomes in CVT treatment, comparing standard anticoagulation, DOACs, and EVT, with evidence that DOACs have similar outcomes to standard anticoagulation in the treatment of CVT. EVT resulted in an increased risk of overall mortality but improved 6-month recanalization rates.

Abstract
We examined geographic and racial variation in cancer mortality within the state of Georgia, and investigated the correlation between the observed spatial differences and county-level characteristics. We analyzed county-level cancer mortality data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer mortality among adults (aged ≥ 18 years) in 159 Georgia counties from years 1999 through 2019. Geospatial methods were applied, and we identified hot spot counties based on cancer mortality rates overall and stratified by non-Hispanic white (NH-white) and NH-black race/ethnicity. Among all adults, 5.0% (8 of 159), 8.2% (13 of 159), 5.0% (8 of 159), and 6.9% (11 of 159) of Georgia counties were estimated hot spots for breast cancer, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer mortality, respectively. Cancer mortality hot spots were heavily concentrated in three major areas: (1) eastern Piedmont to Coastal Plain regions, (2) southwestern rural Georgia area, or (3) northern-most rural Georgia. Overall, hot spot counties generally had higher proportion of NH-black adults, older adult population, greater poverty, and more rurality. In Georgia, targeted cancer prevention strategies and allocation of health resources are needed in counties with elevated cancer mortality rates, focusing on interventions suitable for NH-black race/ethnicity, low-income, and rural residents.

Abstract
DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6 × 6 × 6 m 3 liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light. The scintillation light signal in these detectors can provide the trigger for non-beam events. In addition, it adds precise timing capabilities and improves the calorimetry measurements. In ProtoDUNE-DP, scintillation and electroluminescence light produced by cosmic muons in the LArTPC is collected by photomultiplier tubes placed up to 7 m away from the ionizing track. In this paper, the ProtoDUNE-DP photon detection system performance is evaluated with a particular focus on the different wavelength shifters, such as PEN and TPB, and the use of Xe-doped LAr, considering its future use in giant LArTPCs. The scintillation light production and propagation processes are analyzed and a comparison of simulation to data is performed, improving understanding of the liquid argon properties.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose of the study: Progress in cancer outcomes in the general population are not equitable among all populations, leaving some, such as rural and non-Hispanic Blacks (NH-Black) behind. We examined geographic and racial variation in cancer mortality in the state of Georgia, and investigated the correlation between the observed spatial differences and county-level characteristics.
Methods: We analyzed data on breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer mortality among adults (aged >18 years) in 159 Georgia counties from years 1999 through 2019. Geospatial methods were applied, and we identified hot spot counties based on cancer mortality rates overall and stratified by non-Hispanic White (NH-White) and NH-Black races. We assessed differences in county-level characteristics between hot spot and non-hot spot counties using Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Spearman correlation and stratified all analyses by race/ethnicity.
Results: Among all adults, 5.0% (8 of 159), 8.2% (13 of 159), 5.0% (8 of 159), and 6.9% (11 of 159) of Georgia counties were estimated hot spots for breast cancer, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer mortality, respectively. Among NH-Whites, 5.7% (9 of 159), 4.4% (7 of 159), 4.4% (7 of 159) counties, and 5.0% (8 of 159) of counties were identified as hot spots for breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer mortality, respectively. Among NH-Blacks, 5.7% (9 of 159), 3.8% (6 of 159), 7.4% (11 of 159), and 5.7% (9 of 159) counties were identified as hot spots for breast, colorectal, lung, prostate cancer mortality, respectively. Cancer mortality hot spots were heavily concentrated in three major areas: 1) eastern Piedmont to Coastal Plain regions, 2) southwestern rural Georgia area, or 3) northern-most rural Georgia. Overall, hot spot counties generally had higher proportion of NH-Blacks, older adult population, greater poverty, and more rurality.
Conclusions: We observed distinct geographic and racial/ethnic disparities in mortality from breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer in Georgia. Targeted cancer prevention strategies and allocation of health resources are needed in counties with elevated cancer mortality rates, focusing on interventions suitable for NH-Black, low-income, and rural residents.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for developing gout1 and vice versa.2 Those with both gout and CKD present distinct challenges for patients and physicians because of the high prevalence of other comorbidities and restrictions on gout medication use, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatories3,4 and some oral urate-lowering therapies (ULTs).5 This unique patient population has not been well characterized using real-world data.ObjectivesThis retrospective chart review study of patients with coincident gout and CKD was conducted to better understand patient characteristics and treatment patterns of this population. This study is unique in that patient data were obtained from nephrologists, allowing a glimpse of how they view gout and its management.Methods111 nephrologists provided de-identified medical record data of their most-recently seen advanced (stage 3─5) CKD patients. Patients met study criteria for gout if any of the following were true: gout listed as a comorbidity, ULT use, or visible tophi or gout flares documented. A patient’s gout was determined to be uncontrolled if they had serum uric acid >6 mg/dL in addition to ≥1 visible tophus, ≥2 gout flares in the past year, or gouty arthritis (≥1 tender or swollen joint). Characteristics of this unique population were examined, along with gout management patterns. Differences between patients with controlled and uncontrolled gout were also investigated using data from patients’ most recent evaluation.Results173 patients with stages 3-5 CKD and who met study criteria for gout were included. Mean age was 58.3±18.1 years and BMI averaged 32.0 ± 11.8 kg/m2. A higher than expected proportion of patients were female (47%). The most common comorbidities were hypertension (85%), diabetes mellitus (47%), anemia of CKD (42%), CKD-mineral bone disorder (41%), ischemic heart disease (23%), and congestive heart failure (21%). Mean CKD duration was 4.1 ± 5.5 years, mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at most recent visit was 32.3 ± 13.9 ml/min/1.73 m2, and 62% were using a ULT. 23 patients (13%) had uncontrolled gout (48% female, 63.1 ± 16.4 years, mean eGFR 32.0 ± 14.6 ml/min/1.73 m2), all of whom had been prescribed a ULT. Compared with controlled gout patients, uncontrolled patients had higher rates of pulmonary hypertension (14% vs. 4%), gout-related chronic pain in the 12-months prior to data collection (63% vs. 42%), and joint involvement (joint swelling, tenderness, flexibility loss, and/or damage/lesions on x-ray; 26% vs. 9%). Colchicine was also used more frequently in uncontrolled gout patients (26% vs. 7%).ConclusionThe coincident gout with advanced CKD population described here shows unique differences from the general gout population, including a high proportion of females (47%). Given that women have a lower likelihood of developing gout at the same serum uric acid level,6 this finding was particularly surprising (general gout population: 67% male7). Importantly, nearly 40% of included patients were not utilizing a ULT, leaving them susceptible to developing the painful and debilitating sequalae of uncontrolled gout. Additionally, 41% of the study population had a CKD-related mineral bone disorder, indicating that patients with coincident gout and CKD may have bones that are more vulnerable to gout-related bone damage. Our study confirms a high prevalence of gout and its associated comorbidities in patients with advanced CKD and suggests another nephrology education opportunity to highlight the potential benefits of gout monitoring, earlier intervention, and management.References[1]Safiri S, et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Disorders of higher visual processing often impact patients with acquired brain injury. Even with treatment, these vision conditions can cause chronic challenges for patients. Understanding these conditions and their management can help improve functional independence and quality of life. OBJECTIVES: To discuss the various disorders of higher visual processing that result from acquired brain injury. Discussion to include classification, evaluation, and treatment techniques available to clinicians. METHODS: Peer reviewed journal articles were searched, primarily through PubMed. Articles spanning several decades were included in the review for historical context of these conditions, however an emphasis was placed on more recent publications for purposes of a discussion regarding clinical management of these conditions. RESULTS: Peer-reviewed articles and clinical trials from across several disciplines were included to frame a discussion of this varied group of conditions. CONCLUSION: Visual processing disorders have debilitating impacts on both the rehabilitation process as well as functional independence. Varied approaches are utilized in the treatment of these conditions with limited success. Understanding the benefits and limitations of both restorative and compensatory treatments will better help clinicians manage patients with these conditions.

Abstract
Little progress has been made in improving racial, gender, or intersectional diversity within academic internal medicine (IM). Chief Residency fulfills a unique opportunity to target diversity efforts; Chief Residents (CR) are integral in creating an inclusive environment and support system for IM trainees, and the position serves as a steppingstone for future leadership positions within academia. However, the CR selection process often lacks transparency and includes steps that are fraught with bias, thereby disadvantaging underrepresented minority groups from gaining important experience needed to climb the academic ladder. We describe a more standardized selection process that will improve recruitment and selection of more diverse CRs and ultimately improve the recruitment, retention, and promotion of more diverse faculty within academic internal medicine. Key recommendations include an open call for applications, the use of standardized and structured interviews, and the formation of a diverse selection committee to conduct a transparent selection process based on explicitly defined criteria.

Background. In most laboratories three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) and longitudinal strain (Lstrain) analysis are not part of the routine studies. Although these modalities have been shown to provide additional clinical information and prognostic value compared to conventional two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE), their acquisition and analysis are perceived as being time-consuming. Recently, new automated tools have been developed to perform accurate, fast and reproducible analyses of heart chambers’ geometry and function. However, their cost-effectiveness when compared to conventional 2DE remains to be demonstrated.
Aim. We designed a prospective, multicenter, observational study aimed to compare the time required for the acquisition and analysis of conventional transthoracic 2DE vs advanced echocardiography (AEcho, i.e. 3DE+ Lstrain) for the assessment of cardiac chambers and myocardial mechanics.
Methods. According to current guidelines, 196 consecutive patients referred for clinically indicated echocardiography underwent complete 2DE and Doppler echocardiography. In addition, 3DE datasets of the left atrium (LA), left and right ventricle (LV, RV) were acquired using automated 3DE software package (Heart Model). Acquisition time for both 2DE and 3DE images were recorded. Conventional 2DE analyses of LA (biplane volume), LV (biplane volumes and mass) and RV (both linear dimensions, areas, and longitudinal function) were performed following current guidelines, and the time required for acquisition and analysis was recorded. The time spent for AEcho analysis (both 3DE volumetric analysis and Lstrain of LA, LV and RV) was also recorded.
Results. Feasibility of AEcho was 86% (169 patients). The additional time for 3D dataset acquisition over conventional 2DE was 38 ± 0.16 sec. Quantitative analysis of the cardiac chambers by 2DE required an average of 5.55 ± 1.51 min vs 4.25 ± 1.23 min using AEcho (p < 0.001). Total time for both 3D dataset acquisition and AEcho assessment was 5.03 ± 1.28 min vs 5.55 ± 1.51 min of 2DE analysis alone (p < 0.001). Globally, AEcho provided a more comprehensive assessment of heart chambers than 2DE (Table). Moreover, the time spent for 3DE dataset acquisition and AEcho analysis on top of standard 2DE acquisition was significantly shorter compared to the 2DE acquisition and analysis (18:50 ± 4.23 vs 19:42 ± 4.24 min, p < 0.001) (Table).
Conclusions. Our data showed that the use of new AEcho automated tools are highly feasible resulting in significant time-savings compared to standard 2DE evaluation, while providing significant additional information. Abstract Table

Abstract
Retained endovascular devices are becoming increasingly reported as the indications for endovascular intervention continue to expand. As such, an interventionalist needs to be prepared to extract devices that are improperly deployed. This case illustrates the successful retrieval of an incompletely opened flow diverting stent using a microsnare. This is the second reported case of this complication and the first known case specific to the flow re-direction endoluminal device (FRED; Microvention, Aliso Viejo, California, USA).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Older adults' participation in gambling is increasing internationally. Older adults have been identified as a group at greater risk of gambling harm. This may be due to their increased vulnerability due to life circumstances, such as retiring from paid work and social isolation. Current literature has focused on individual characteristics that may influence older adults gambling attitudes, behaviours, and experiences of harm, however, there has been little qualitative research that has explored other factors such as the influence of social practices surrounding gambling. This study explored how social practices influenced older adults' participation in gambling, and how these social practices may contribute to gambling risk.
Methods
A critical qualitative inquiry was conducted and involved semi-structured phone interviews with 40 Australian adults aged 55 years and over. A Constructivist Grounded Theory approach was taken, and Social Practice Theory guided the thematic analysis of the data.
Results
Two major themes were generated from the data. The first theme demonstrated that gambling was often embedded within older adults' social practices. For example, older adults would attend gambling venues with their social networks and engage in gambling as a way of building their social connection. Sometimes gambling occurred to try to meet the expectations of the wider social group, potentially increasing the risk of harm. Second, it was evident that gambling had become part a routine activity for older adults' everyday life.
Conclusions
Older adults social practices related to gambling were linked with the accessibility and availability of gambling products in community environments. Interventions aimed at preventing and reducing gambling harm in older adults need to shift away from the individual and instead focus on disrupting social practices, including the routines associated with gambling.
Key messages
Gambling was used by older adults to consolidate social connections and strengthen their sense of belonging within social groups and often involved routines around gambling. To prevent further harm from gambling to older adults, strategies should focus on the social context of older adults gambling rather than the individual characteristics of gamblers.

Abstract
Background The mammalian gut harbors very complex and diverse microbiota that play an important role in intestinal homeostasis and host health. Exposure to radiation results in dysbiosis of the gut microbiota leading to detrimental pathophysiological changes to the host. To alleviate the effects of irradiation, several candidate countermeasures are under investigation. BIO 300, containing synthetic genistein formulated as an amorphous solid dispersion or as an aqueous suspension of nanoparticles, is a promising candidate under advanced development. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of BIO 300 on the gut microbiome and metabolome of mice exposed to 60Co gamma-radiation. The gut microbiota and metabolome of control and drug-treated mice exposed to radiation was characterized by bacterial 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. Results We found that irradiation altered the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and significantly decreased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus, both in BIO 300-treated and control mice; however, the ratio returned to near normal levels in BIO 300-treated mice by day 14 post-irradiation. Concomitantly, we also observed corrective shifts in metabolic pathways that were perturbed after irradiation. Conclusions Overall, the data presented show that radiation exposure led to a relative depletion of commensals like Lactobacillus leading to an inflammatory metabolic phenotype while the majority of the drug-treated mice showed alleviation of this condition primarily by restoration of normal gut microbiota. These results indicate that the radioprotective effects of BIO 300, at least in part, may involve correction of the host-microbiome metabolic axis.

Abstract
In the United States, African Americans (AAs) have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 mortality. However, AAs are more likely to be hesitant in receiving COVID-19 vaccinations when compared to non-Hispanic Whites. We examined factors associated with vaccine hesitancy among a predominant AA community sample. We performed a cross-sectional analysis on data collected from a convenience sample of 257 community-dwelling participants in the Central Savannah River Area from 5 December 2020, through 17 April 2021. Vaccine hesitancy was categorized as resistant, hesitant, and acceptant. We estimated relative odds of vaccine resistance and vaccine hesitancy using polytomous logistic regression models. Nearly one-third of the participants were either hesitant (n = 40, 15.6%) or resistant (n = 42, 16.3%) to receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine-resistant participants were more likely to be younger and were more likely to have experienced housing insecurity due to COVID-19 when compared to both acceptant and hesitant participants, respectively. Age accounted for nearly 25% of the variation in vaccine resistance, with 21-fold increased odds (OR: 21.93, 95% CI: 8.97-5.26-91.43) of vaccine resistance in participants aged 18 to 29 compared to 50 and older adults. Housing insecurity accounted for 8% of the variation in vaccine resistance and was associated with 7-fold increased odds of vaccine resistance (AOR: 7.35, 95% CI: 1.99-27.10). In this sample, AAs under the age of 30 and those experiencing housing insecurity because of the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to be resistant to receiving a free COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of laser photocoagulation of placental anastomoses (LPA) prior to 18 weeks' gestation (early LPA) with very preterm delivery and neonatal survival in pregnancies with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies with TTTS undergoing LPA between 2002 and 2018 at two institutions. The rates of delivery < 28, < 30 and < 32 weeks' gestation, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) and 30-day survival of one or both infants were compared between pregnancies undergoing early LPA and those undergoing LPA ≥ 18 weeks' gestation. Regression analysis was performed to determine the association of early LPA with very preterm delivery and 30-day survival, adjusted for Quintero stage, study phase, selective fetal growth restriction, gestational age at delivery, maternal age ≥ 35 years, body mass index > 35 kg/m2 , placental location, use of Seldinger method to place the operative trocar, size of the trocar, participating center, use of Solomon technique, cerclage and PPROM. Survival analysis using the Cox proportional hazard model was applied to examine the LPA-to-delivery interval according to the timing of surgery, adjusted for confounding variables. RESULTS A total of 414 TTTS pregnancies were included in the study, of which 68 (16.4%) underwent early LPA. In the total cohort, the incidence of delivery at < 28, < 30 and < 32 weeks' gestation was 22.7%, 39.6% and 53.4%, respectively. Survival of both twins and survival of at least one twin at 30 days were 67.5% and 90.8%, respectively. No significant difference was noted between pregnancies that underwent early LPA and those that had LPA ≥ 18 weeks in the rate of delivery < 28 weeks (19.1% vs 23.4%; P = 0.4), < 30 weeks (38.2% vs 39.9%; P = 0.8) and < 32 weeks (44.1% vs 55.2%; P = 0.1) and PPROM (29.0% vs 24.1%; P = 0.4), or in the incidence of double-twin survival (63.9% vs 68.1%; P = 0.5) and survival of at least one infant (91.8% vs 90.6%; P = 0.7) at 30 days. Early LPA was not associated with very preterm delivery or neonatal survival in the regression analyses. Early LPA was associated with a longer LPA-to-delivery interval compared with LPA performed ≥ 18 weeks (median, 106.9 days (range, 2-164 days) vs median, 69.3 days (range, 0-146 days); P < 0.001) when adjusted for confounding variables (hazard ratio, 2.56 (95% CI, 1.76-3.73); P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Laser surgery before 18 weeks is not associated with an increased rate of very preterm delivery and PPROM or with reduced neonatal survival when compared with LPA after 18 weeks. © 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly altered ambulatory health care delivery and may have worsened disparities in health care access. To assess the telehealth implementation experiences of ambulatory personnel in different disciplines and their perspectives on potential telehealth disparities, and to make recommendations for more equitable telehealth delivery. We used a convergent parallel mixed-methods design. Clinic managers from geriatric medicine, internal medicine, and psychiatry e-mailed a survey to clinicians and staff regarding experiences with telehealth care delivery. Quantitative survey responses were analyzed with Fisher's Exact tests. Qualitative responses were coded thematically. Recommendations were categorized by type of implementation strategy. Quantitative and qualitative findings on telehealth disparities were merged in a joint data display. Respondents (n = 147, 57% response rate) were distributed across three specialties: 66% internal medicine, 19% psychiatry, and 14% geriatric medicine. Prior to 2020, 77% of clinicians had never delivered telehealth services. By Spring 2020, 78% reported conducting more than half of clinic visits by telehealth. Among clinicians, 52% agreed/strongly agreed that rapid telehealth implementation exacerbated access to care disparities to: older adult patients, those with limited internet access, and those needing interpretation services. Staff expressed similar difficulties with telehealth set-up especially for these patients. To improve telehealth equity, clinicians recommended to: (i) change infrastructure; (ii) train and educate stakeholders; and (iii) support clinicians. Clinicians and staff reported specific subpopulations had challenges in accessing telehealth visits. To avoid perpetuating telehealth access disparities, further co-discovery of equitable implementation strategies with patients and clinics are urgently needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Simulation-based education (SBE) can replicate the challenging aspects of real-world clinical environments, while providing a safe and less intimidating setting. Literature supports its use within medical radiation science (MRS) training for safe practice of psychomotor skills, development of problem solving, team working, interpersonal and decision-making skills and embedding awareness of patient safety. This project aimed to quantify usage of SBE resources and activities internationally and to evaluate how this changed during COVID-19 restrictions. METHODS An anonymous online survey tool gathered data relating to programme demographics, simulation resources, simulation activities and future plans. A link to the survey was distributed to programme leads via social media, professional bodies and national networks. RESULTS A total of 72 responses were received from a range of countries and representing a range of programme structures. Most respondents reported up to 100 h of SBE per student per year with low fidelity resources and image viewing software featuring most prominently. There was low reported engagement of service users within simulation activities. Respondents also indicated that COVID-19 had been a trigger for rapid uptake of simulation resources. CONCLUSION SBE forms an important aspect of MRS training internationally with low-fidelity resources being widely deployed. Where available, high fidelity virtual reality and specialised profession-specific resources were used heavily. There was a low level of reported engagement with service users or expert patients in simulation activities. Future research will identify whether the rapid uptake of SBE during COVID-19 continues and clarify the role of service users in SBE provision. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Increased collaboration between MRS education providers may help to improve parity of SBE provision and identify additional opportunities to engage service users within SBE.

Abstract
Dorsal root ganglion stimulators (DRGS) have been used to treat patients with neuropathic pain due to multiple etiologies. Typically, DRGS are inserted percutaneously with fluoroscopic guidance epidurally into the neuroforamina over a pathologic dorsal root ganglion. In patients with unfavorable anatomy due to extensive surgical scarring, an open surgical approach has been described in the literature for DRGS placement. We document an alternative open surgical approach for DRGS placement in a patient with recalcitrant post-herpetic neuralgia.

Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE's sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach.

Abstract
We report the 12-year follow-up of the prospective randomized EBMT LYM1 trial to determine whether the benefit of brief duration rituximab maintenance (RM) on progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) receiving an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is sustained. One hundred and thirty-eight patients received RM with or without purging. The median follow-up after random assignment is 12 years (range 10-13) for the whole series. The 10-year PFS after ASCT is 47% (95% CI 40-54) with only 4 patients relapsing after 7.5 years. RM continues to significantly improve 10-year PFS after ASCT in comparison with NM [P = 0.002; HR 0.548 (95% CI 0.38-0.80)]. Ten-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) was not significantly different between treatment groups (7% overall). 10-year overall survival (OS) after ASCT was 75% (69-81) for the whole series, with no significant differences according to treatment sub-groups. 10-year OS for patients who progressed within 24 months (POD24T) was 60%, in comparison with 85% for patients without progression. Thus the benefit of rituximab maintenance after ASCT on relapse prevention is sustained at 12 years, suggesting that RM adds to ASCT-mediated disease eradication and may enhance the curative potential of ASCT.

Abstract
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) identified by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brains of older persons may have clinical relevance due to their association with cognitive impairment and other adverse neurologic outcomes, but are often not detected in routine neuropathology evaluations. In this study, the utility of ex vivo MRI in the neuropathological identification, localization, and frequency of CMBs was investigated. The study included 3 community dwelling elders with Alzheimer's dementia, and mild to severe small vessel disease (SVD). Ex vivo MRI was performed on the fixed hemisphere to identify CMBs, blinded to the neuropathology diagnoses. The hemibrains were then sliced at 1 cm intervals and 2, 1 or 0 microhemorrhages (MH) were detected on the cut surfaces of brain slabs using the routine neuropathology protocol. Ex vivo imaging detected 15, 14 and 9 possible CMBs in cases 1, 2 and 3, respectively. To obtain histological confirmation of the CMBs detected by ex vivo MRI, the 1 cm brain slabs were dissected further and MHs or areas corresponding to the CMBs detected by ex vivo MRI were blocked and serially sectioned at 6 µm intervals. Macroscopic examination followed by microscopy post ex vivo MRI resulted in detection of 35 MHs and therefore, about 12 times as many MHs were detected compared to routine neuropathology assessment without ex vivo MRI. While microscopy identified previously unrecognized chronic MHs, it also showed that MHs were acute or subacute and therefore may represent perimortem events. Ex vivo MRI detected CMBs not otherwise identified on routine neuropathological examination of brains of older persons and histologic evaluation of the CMBs is necessary to determine the age and clinical relevance of each hemorrhage.

Abstract
Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) commonly present for medical attention after a patient experiences a rupture that results in a focal neurologic deficit, an epileptic event, or is found incidentally on cranial imaging performed for an unrelated reason. In contrast, carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) can develop high-flow arteriovenous shunting with symptoms attributable to venous hypertension. We discuss a unique case of a 54-year-old female presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of a CCF but was found to have a perisylvian AVM with an enlarged draining vein draining into the cavernous sinus. Our case report demonstrates a combined endovascular and open surgical approach to a unique presentation of a brain AVM with the resolution of ocular symptoms.

Abstract
Morton's neuroma is a commonly encountered cause of forefoot pain, which may limit weight-bearing activities and footwear choices. Although the aetiology and pathomechanism of this condition is controversial, the histological endpoint is well established as benign perineural fibrosis of a common plantar digital nerve, typically within the third intermetatarsal space. The diagnosis of Morton's neuroma is mainly based on characteristic symptoms and clinical findings, but may be confirmed by ultrasonography. Although ultrasound is a highly accurate diagnostic tool for Morton's neuroma, it is subject to interoperator variability due to differences in technique and level of experience. In this paper, the authors review the anatomy of the common plantar digital nerves and surrounding structures in the forefoot, which are deemed relevant to the understanding of Morton's neuroma, especially from a sonographic point of view. Several theories of the pathomechanism of Morton's neuroma are briefly discussed. The main purpose of this article is to illustrate the ultrasound techniques for evaluating Morton's neuroma and performing ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections.

Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB), a fungus disease of small grain cereal crops, results in reduced yields and diminished value of harvested grain due to the presence of deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin produced by the causal pathogen Fusarium graminearum. DON and other tricothecene mycotoxins pose serious health risks to both humans and livestock, especially swine. Due to these health concerns, barley used for malting, food or feed is routinely assayed for DON levels. Various methods are available for assaying DON levels in grain samples including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). ELISA and GC-MS are very accurate; however, assaying grain samples by these techniques are laborious, expensive and destructive. In this study, we explored the feasibility of using hyperspectral imaging (382-1030 nm) to develop a rapid and non-destructive protocol for assaying DON in barley kernels. Samples of 888 and 116 from various genetic lines were selected for calibration and prediction. Full-wavelength locally weighted partial least squares regression (LWPLSR) achieved high accuracy with the coefficient of determination in prediction (R2P) of 0.728 and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 3.802. Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) was used to choose potential feature wavelengths, and these selected variables were further optimized using the iterative selection of successive projections algorithm (ISSPA). The CARS-ISSPA-LWPLSR model developed using 7 feature variables yielded R2P of 0.680 and RMSEP of 4.213 in DON content prediction. Based on the 7 wavelengths selected by CARS-ISSPA, partial least square discriminant analysis (PLSDA) discriminated barley kernels having lower DON (less than1.25 mg/kg) levels from those with higher levels (including 1.25-3 mg/kg, 3-5 mg/kg, and 5-10 mg/kg), with Matthews correlation coefficient in cross-validation (M-RCV) of as high as 0.931. The results demonstrate that hyperspectral imaging have potential for accelerating non-destructive DON assays of barley samples.
