Abstract
The vertebral centra of sharks consist of cartilage, and many species' centra contain a bioapatite related to that in bone. Centra microarchitectures at the 0.5-50 µm scale do not appear to have been described previously. This study examines centrum microarchitecture in lamniform and carcharhiniform sharks with synchrotron microComputed Tomography (microCT), scanning electron microscopy and spectroscopy and light microscopy. The analysis centers on the blue shark (carcharhiniform) and shortfin mako (lamniform), species studied with all three modalities. Synchrotron microCT results from seven other species complete the report. The main centrum structures, the corpus calcareum and intermedialia, consist of fine, closely-spaced, mineralized trabeculae whose mean thicknesses and spacings range from 4.5 to 11.2 µm and 4.5 to 15.6 µm, respectively. A significant (p = 0.00001) positive linear relationship between and exists for multiple positions within one mako centrum. Carcharhiniform species' and exhibit an inverse linear relationship (p = 0.005) while in lamniforms these variables tend toward a positive relationship which does not reach statistical significance (p = 0.099). In all species, the trabeculae form an uninterrupted, interconnected network, and the unmineralized volumes are similarly interconnected. Small differences in mineralization level are observed in trabeculae. Centrum growth band pairs are found to consist of locally higher /lower mineral volume fraction. Within the intermedialia, radial canals and radial microrods were characterized, and compacted trabeculae are prominent in the mako intermedialia. The centra's mineralized central zones were non-trabecular and are also described. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study's novel result is the demonstration that the mineralized cartilage of sharks' vertebral bodies (centra) consists of a fine 3D array of interconnected plates (trabeculae) and an interpenetrating network of unmineralized tissue. This microstructure is radically different from that in tesserae or in teeth, the other main mineralized shark tissues. Using volumetric synchrotron microComputed Tomography, numerical values of mean trabecular thickness and spacing and their relationship were measured for nine species. Scanning electron microscopy added a higher resolution view of the microstructures, and histology provided complementary information on cartilage and cells. The present results suggest centra microstructure helps accommodate the very large in vivo strains and may prevent damage accumulation during millions of cycles of swimming-induced loading.

Abstract
We analyzed pedicle bone from roe bucks that had died around antler casting or shortly before or during the rutting period. Pedicles obtained around antler casting were highly porous and showed signs of intense osteoclastic activity that had caused the formation of an abscission line. Following the detachment of the antler plus a portion of pedicle bone, osteoclastic activity in the pedicles continued for some time, and new bone was deposited onto the separation plane of the pedicle stump, leading to partial pedicle restoration. Pedicles obtained around the rutting period were compact structures. The newly formed, often very large secondary osteons, which had filled the resorption cavities, exhibited a lower mineral density than the persisting older bone. The middle zones of the lamellar infilling frequently showed hypomineralized lamellae and enlarged osteocyte lacunae. This indicates a deficiency in mineral elements during the formation of these zones that occurred along with peak antler mineralization. We suggest that growing antlers and compacting pedicles compete for mineral elements, with the rapidly growing antlers being the more effective sinks. The competition between the two simultaneously mineralizing structures is probably more severe in Capreolus capreolus than in other cervids. This is because roe bucks regrow their antlers during late autumn and winter, a period of limited food and associated mineral supply. The pedicle is a heavily remodeled bone structure with distinct seasonal variation in porosity. Pedicle remodeling differs in several aspects from the normal bone remodeling process in the mammalian skeleton.

Abstract
Purpose/Objective(s) To evaluate the results of LD-RT to lungs in the management of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Materials/Methods We conducted a prospective phase I-II trial enrolling COVID-19 patients ≥50 years-old, with bilateral lung involvement at imaging study and oxygen requirement. Patients received 1 Gy to whole lungs in a single fraction. Primary outcome was radiological response assessed as severity and extension scores at days +3 and +7. Secondary outcomes were toxicity (CTCAE v5.0), days of hospitalization, changes in inflammatory blood parameters (ferritin, lymphocytes, C-reactive protein, d-dimer and LDH) and SatO2/ FiO2 index (SAFI), at day +3 and +7. Descriptive analyses were summarized as means with standard deviation (SD) and/or medians with interquartile ranges (IQR). A Wilcoxon sign rank test for paired data was used to assess the CT scores and Chi Square was used to assess for comparison of categorical variables. Results Forty-one patients were included. Median age was 71 (IQR 60-84). Eighteen patients (47%) previously received any antiCOVID treatment (tocilizumab, lopinavir/ritonavir, remdesivir) and thirty-two patients (84%) received steroids during LD-RT. Extension score improved significantly (p=0.02) on day +7 and SAFI on day +3 and + 7 (p<0.01). Median SAFI on day 0 was 147 (IQR 118-264), 230 (IQR 120-343) on day +3 and 293 (IQR 121-353) on day +7. Significant decrease was found in C-reactive protein on day +7 (p=0.02) and in lymphocytes counts on day +3 and +7 (p=0.02). Median number of days in hospital after RT was 11 (range 4-78). With a median follow-up of 60 days after LD-RT, 26 (63%) patients were discharged, 11 (27%) died because of COVID respiratory failure and 4 (10%) died of other causes. Conclusion LD-RT is a feasible and well-tolerated treatment that may lead to rapid clinical improvement. Large randomized trials should be done to establish the efficacy of LD-RT to treat COVID-19 pneumonia.

Abstract
Issue Suicide continues to present a major public health concern in many societies. Suicide prevention efforts have failed to reduce the rate of suicide in most countries. A change of intervention strategy can help to prevent these deaths from despair. Description of the problem Suicide prevention strategies are examined through an integrative review combined with more than 30 years of experience conducting research on suicide attempters and psychological autopsy research on adults who had died by suicide. Journal articles published since 2005 were reviewed for strategies designed to prevent death by suicide. Results Suicide risk is examined by confronting the means, motives and opportunities for suicidal behavior. Prevention strategies that limit access to lethal means can have a beneficial impact if the method is easily accessible and not easily replaced. Unfortunately, some individuals merely shift to a different method for their suicidal act. Prevention strategies that restrict the opportunity for self-injury provide time to confront underlying disorders and initiate treatment. Unfortunately, many patients do not continue treatment beyond the acute crisis, and there is often a resurgence of suicidal behavior after discharge from the hospital. Prevention strategies that aim to confront the person’s motivation to die may reduce the underlying cause. It is important to provide interventions to help reduce the desperation and isolation that underlie suicidal urges. These intervention strategies hold potential for making lasting changes that could eliminate, instead of temporarily suppressing, the desire to die. Lessons Restricting access to lethal methods and limiting times when a suicidal person is left alone can temporarily block suicidal urges. However, the motive underlying the suicidal urges remains intact. The motivation to die can be addressed through interventions that focuses on helping clients to build a life worth living. Key messages • Suicide prevention strategies can confront the desire for death by helping to build a life that is worth living. • Comprehensive interventions aimed at reducing depression, isolation and addiction hold potential for reducing the rate of suicide.

Abstract
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death world around. The immediate attention is key to patient prognosis. Ischemic stroke diagnosis typically involves neuroimaging studies (MRI and CT scans) and clinical protocols to characterize lesions and support decisions about treatment to be administered to the patient. Nowadays, multiparametric MRI images are the standard tool to visualize core and penumbra of ischemic stroke, supporting diagnosis and lesion prognosis. Specially, DWI modality (Diffusion Weighted Imaging) allows to quantify the cellular density of the tissue, and therefore allowing to quantify the lesion aggressiveness, and the recognition of micro-circulation properties. Nevertheless, MRI availability at hospitals is not widespread, and acquisition require special conditions requiring considerable time. Contrary, CT scans commonly have major availability but brain structures are poorly delineated, and even worse, ischemic lesions are only visible at advanced stages of the disease. This work introduces a deep generative strategy that allows ischemic stroke lesion translation over synthetic DWI-MRI images. This encoder-decoder architecture, include U-net modules, hierarchically organized, with inter-level connections that preserve brain structures, while codifying an embedding representation. Then a cyclic loss was here implemented to receive CT inputs and decode DWI-MRI images. To avoid mode collapse, this learning is inversely propagated, i.e., from synthetic DWI-MRI images to original CT-scans. Finally, an embedding projection is recovered to show a proper lesion-slice discrimination, regarding control studies. Clinical relevance- To recover synthetic DWI-MRI that preserved ischemic lesion using CT scans as an input and following an unpaired image translation setup.

Abstract
Antlers are paired deciduous bony cranial appendages of deer that undergo a regular cycle of growth, death and casting, and constitute the most rapidly growing bones in mammals. Antler growth occurs in an appositional mode and involves a modified form of endochondral ossification. In endochondral bones, calcified cartilage is typically a transient tissue that is eventually completely replaced by bone tissue. We studied the distribution and characteristics of calcified cartilage in hard antlers from three deer species (Capreolus capreolus, Cervus elaphus, Dama dama), i.e., in antlers from which the skin (velvet) had been shed. Remnants of calcified cartilage were regularly present as part of the trabecular framework in the late formed, distal antler portions in all three species, whereas this tissue was largely or completely missing in the more proximal antler portions. The presence of calcified cartilage remnants in the distal antler portions is attributed to the limited antler lifespan of only a few months, which is also the reason for the virtual lack of bone remodeling in antlers. The calcified cartilage matrix was more highly mineralized than the antler bone matrix. Mineralized deposits were observed in some chondrocyte lacunae and occasionally also in osteocyte lacunae, a phenomenon that has not previously been reported in antlers. Using synchrotron radiation-induced X-ray fluorescence (SR-XRF) mapping, we further demonstrated increased zinc concentrations in cement lines, along the inner borders of incompletely formed primary osteons, along the walls of partly or completely mineral-occluded chondrocyte and osteocyte lacunae, and in intralacunar mineralized deposits. The present study demonstrates that antlers are a promising model for studying the mineralization of cartilage and bone matrices and the formation of mineralized deposits in chondrocyte and osteocyte lacunae. Remnants of calcified cartilage are regularly present in hard antlers of deer. Preservation of calcified cartilage is caused by the short lifespan of antlers. Calcified cartilage of antlers is more highly mineralized than antler bone. Mineralized deposits were observed in chondrocyte and osteocyte lacunae of antlers. SR-XRF showed increased Zn-concentration in cement lines and intralacunar deposits.

Abstract
Cardiac cine-MRI is one of the most important diagnostic tools for characterizing heart-related pathologies. This imaging technique allows clinicians to assess the morphology and physiology of the heart during the cardiac cycle. Nonetheless, the analysis on cardiac cine-MRI is highly dependent on the observer expertise and a high inter-reader variability is frequently observed. Alternatively, the ejection fraction, a quantitative heart dynamic measure, is used to identify potential cardiac diseases. Unfortunately, this type of measurement is insufficient to distinguish among different cardiac pathologies. This quantification does not exploit all the heart functional information conveyed by cine-MRI sequences. Automatic image analysis might help to identify visual patterns associated with cardiac diseases in the cine-MRI sequences and highlight potential biomarkers. This paper introduces a conditional generative adversarial network that learns a mapping between the latent space and a generated cine-MRI data distribution involving information from five different cardiac pathologies. This net is guided from the left ventricle segmentation and the velocity field that is computed as prior information to focus on the deep representation of salient cardiac patterns. Once the deep neural networks are trained, a set of validation cine-MRI slices is represented in the embedding space. The associated embedding descriptor, in the latent space, is found by minimizing a reconstruction error in the generator output. We evaluated the obtained embedded representation as a disease marker by using different classification models in 16000 pathological cine-MRI slices. The representation retrieved by using the best conditional generative model configuration was used on the classifier models yielding an average accuracy of 90.04% and an average F1-score of 89.97% in the classification task.Clinical relevance-Construction of a topological embedding space, from generative representation, that fully exploits hidden relationships of cine-MRI and represent cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Background Population health management (PHM) by hospital groups is not yet defined nor implemented in France. However, in 2019, the French Hospitals Federation launched a pilot program to experiment PHM in five territories around five Territorial Hospital Groups (GHT’s). In order to implement PHM, it is necessary to firstly define the population which healthcare facilities (hospitals) have responsibility for. In the French healthcare system, mapping of health territories however relies mainly on administrative data criteria which do not fit with the actual implementation of GHT’s. Mapping for the creation of territorial hospital groups (GHTs) also did not include medical criteria nor all healthcare offers particularly in private hospitals and primary care services, who are not legally part of GHT’s but are major healthcare providers. The objective of this study was to define the French population groups for PHM per hospital group. Methods A database study based on DRG (acute care, post-acute and rehabilitation, psychiatry and home care) from the French National Hospitals Database was conducted. Data included all hospital stays from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2017. The main outcome of this study was to create mutually exclusive territories that would reflect an accurate national healthcare service consumption. A six-step method was implemented using automated analysis reviewed manually by national experts. Results In total, 2840 healthcare facilities, 5571 geographical zones and 31,441,506 hospital stays were identified and collated from the database. In total, 132 GHTs were included and there were 72 zones (1.3%) allocated to a different GHTs. Furthermore, 200 zones were manually reviewed with 33 zones allocated to another GHT. Only one area did not have a population superior to 50,000 inhabitants. Three were shown to have a population superior to 2 million. Conclusions Our study demonstrated a feasible methodology to define the French population under the responsibility of 132 hospital groups validated by a national group of experts.

Abstract
Fever can affect the majority of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and many times no identifiable source is found for the fever whether infectious or sterile, like deep vein thrombosis. We hypothesized that fever in SAH is mediated by a NON-cyclo-oxygenase-dependent mechanism, which we neologized as subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced pyrexia (SAHiP). This hypothesis was investigated using genetically modified mice, pharmacological manipulation, cerebrospinal fluid from SAH patients, and a large cohort of SAH patients. Mice with deletions of neuronal prostaglandin EP3 receptor, global toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid TLR4, and microglial TLR4 were subjected to SAH after being implanted with thermometers. Pathways necessary for SAHiP were identified. In SAH patients, cerebrospinal fluid was examined by flow cytometry and correlated with SAHiP. From a large cohort of SAH patients, independent associations with SAHiP were determined using logistic regression analysis. In our mouse model of SAH, microglial TLR4 is necessary for SAHiP, but independent of the neuronal prostaglandin EP3 receptor, cyclo-oxygenase, and prostaglandins. Macrophages from the cerebrospinal fluid of SAH patients with SAHiP expressed more TLR4-co-receptor than SAH patients without SAHiP. In a large cohort of SAH patients, SAHiP was found to be independently, yet inversely, associated with acetaminophen administration. SAHiP is independent of the neuronal prostaglandin EP3 receptor, cyclo-oxygenase, and prostaglandins, but dependent on microglial/macrophage TLR4 with evidence from both SAH mouse models and SAH patients.

Abstract
Abstract
The high-speed dynamics of a hybrid distributed feedback semiconductor laser heterogeneously integrated onto silicon is experimentally investigated in the presence of external optical feedback. The laser fabrication relies on a proper modal engineering in which light is generated in the III–V material and stored in the low-loss silicon region in order to substantially enhance the quality factor of the cavity resonator. In this work, the hybrid laser is found to be insensitive to parasitic reflections leading to a 10 Gbps floor-free transmission with a power penalty no greater than 1.5 dB at room temperature. As a conclusion, owing to the large quality factor, a high coherence collapse level is unveiled in such laser indicating its vast potential to serve as an alternative solution for the development of isolator-free applications in future photonics integrated circuits. A qualitative interpretation is also provided by linking the standard feedback equations to the quality factor of the resonator.

Abstract
Antlers are bony appendages of deer that undergo periodic regeneration from the top of permanent outgrowths (the pedicles) of the frontal bones. Of the "less familiar" bone types whose study was advocated by John Currey to gain a better understanding of structure-function relationships of mineralized tissues and organs, antlers were of special interest to him. The present review summarizes our current knowledge about the evolution, development, structure, mineralization, and biomechanics of antlers and how their formation is affected by environmental factors like nutrition. Furthermore, the potential role of antlers as a model in bone biology and several fields of biomedicine as well as their use as a monitoring tool in environmental studies are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a major role in the Heart Failure (HF) pathophysiology.The AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated by a high AMP-ADP/ATP ratio and regulates a number of metabolic pathways. Many studies have highlighted a protective role of AMPK in HF, but its relevance to cardiac tissue, its metabolic part and its sex specificity are not well established.
Purpose
Then, the aim of this study is to determine the role of AMPK in the healthy and failing heart in male and female mice.
Methods
We developed and validated a mouse strain with an adult-inducible cardiac-specific deletion of AMPKα2, the major cardiac isoform, using the Cre-Lox system (40mg/kg tamoxifen injection on two consecutive days at adult age). At four months after the deletion, cardiac contractility, morphology and metabolism were studied in control and KO mice from both sexes.
Results
We observed only in male KO mice a decrease of left ventricular ejection fraction (−10%), an increase of the total fibrosis (+64%) and defects in mitochondrial structures. Male KO mice also showed a reduced (−28%) mitochondrial respiration via complex I associated with a different cardiolipin species distribution.
Conclusion
Our results reveal in adult healthy hearts, a sex-specificity in the effects of AMPKα2 deletion, leading to impaired contractile function related to metabolic and non-metabolic alterations only in male mice.

Abstract
Abstract
Cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2) have a key role in excitation-contraction coupling by releasing Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In cardiomyocytes, two FK506 binding protein (FKBP) isoforms have been shown to bind and to stabilize RyR2 opening: FKBP12 and FKBP12.6, the later having a stronger affinity for RyR2 despite its lower abundance. Cardiac-specific FKBP12.6 overexpressing mice have fewer arrhythmias induced by β-adrenergic stimulation than wild type (WT) mice, suggesting an implication of FKBP12.6 in an antiarrhythmic mechanism. Heart failure (HF) syndrome has a high incidence of arrhythmias, which may be explained by a decrease of FKBP isoform expression.
The precise mechanism of the antiarrhythmic effect of FKBP12.6 overexpression remains unknown.
To gain insight into this mechanism, we developed 2 transgenic mouse lines with cardiac-specific moderate- (TG1) and high- (TG2) FKBP12.6 overexpression levels. We characterized cardiac function, [Ca2+]i cycling and its response to β-adrenergic stimulation in both mouse lines.
TG1 and TG2 mice developed mild and marked cardiac hypertrophy, respectively, associated with basal cardiac function increase in TG1 mice only. In stimulated cardiomyocytes, [Ca2+]i transient amplitude, measured by confocal microscopy, was higher in TG1 than in WT mice, without a significant difference in their SR Ca2+ content. The effect of β-adrenergic stimulation (50 nM isoproterenol) was attenuated in TG1 mice compared to WT mice, in association with the prevention of pro-arrhythmogenic Ca2+ release events, such as Ca2+ waves. In contrast, TG2 mice showed [Ca2+]i handling characteristics similar to HF, with slower [Ca2+]i transient relaxation. Interestingly, and contrary to HF, pro-arrhythmogenic Ca2+ release events were also reduced in TG2.
These results indicate that the level of FKBP12.6 overexpression has distinct effects on cardiac function and on Ca2+-cycling and its response to β-adrenergic stimulation.

Abstract
Infections are important complications associated with allogeneic HSCT. Describing infection rates in low- and middle-income countries provides data to infer efficacy of supportive care practices in these settings. In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients (age ≤ 18 years) who underwent a first allogeneic HSCT for ALL in a single center in Argentina between 1998 and 2016. The primary outcome was sterile site bacterial infection. Secondary outcomes were proven or probable invasive fungal infection, TRM, and infectious deaths. There were 68 allogeneic HSCT recipients with ALL included in this analysis. Overall, 17 (25.0%) experienced at least one sterile site bacterial infection and 10 (14.7%) experienced at least one proven or probable invasive fungal infection. The TRM rate was 19.1%, and 3 (4.4%) patients died of infection. In a middle-income country center in Argentina, pediatric allogeneic HSCT infection rates, TRM, and infection-related mortality were comparable to high-income countries. These data support continuation of allogeneic HSCT programs in similar resource-limited settings provided that adequate supportive care and monitoring of outcomes can be performed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Prior studies show that Hispanic breast cancer patients are more likely than non-Hispanic white (NHW) women to be diagnosed with triple negative tumors but data on other subtypes are limited. Published data on survival differences between Hispanics and NHW breast cancer patients are inconsistent and vary depending on the covariates included in the multivariate models. We assessed differences in the distribution of the major tumor subtypes of breast cancer, as well as subtype-specific survival, between Hispanic and NHW patients according to nativity, and age and stage at diagnosis.
Methods: We used data from the population-based California Cancer Registry to include female invasive breast cancer cases diagnosed between 2004 and 2013 with follow-up through December 31, 2013, resulting in 90,236 total cases (69,693 NHW and 20,543 Hispanics). Tumor subtypes were classified into four categories: hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative (HR+/HER-), HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+, and triple negative (HR-/HER2-). Logistic regression was used to estimate differences in distribution of subtype between Hispanic and NHW women. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate differences in survival for Hispanics and NHWs by subtype, adjusting for clinical and sociodemographic characteristics.
Results: Compared to NHW patients, Hispanic women were more likely to be diagnosed with tumors that were HR+/HER2+ (OR=1.22; 95% CI, 1.16-1.29), HR-/HER2+ (OR=1.37; 95% CI, 1.29-1.47), and triple negative (OR=1.27; 95% CI, 1.21-1.34) than HR+/HER2-. Foreign-born Hispanics had a higher odds of having HER2+ than HR+/HER2- tumors compared to NHW women (OR=1.29 for HR+/HER2+ and OR=1.50 for HR-/HER2+); these differences were less pronounced among U.S.-born Hispanics (OR=1.04 for HR+/HER2+ and OR=1.16; 95% CI, 1.06-1.26 for HR-/HER2+). In age-adjusted models, Hispanic women had higher breast cancer mortality than NHW women (HR=1.23; 95% CI, 1.17-1.30), which was consistent across all tumor subtypes. However, the mortality differences disappeared after adjustment for clinical, sociodemographic characteristics, and marital status.
Conclusions: Hispanic women were more likely than NHWs to be diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer as well as tumors overexpressing HER2 than HR+/HER2- tumors. This pattern held true when stratified by nativity, although higher ORs for HER2+ tumors among foreign-born than U.S.-born Hispanic women were observed. Within each subtype, Hispanics had 20%-30% higher mortality than NHW, which appeared to be explained by a combination of sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Abstract
In 2011 and 2012, the COPHES/DEMOCOPHES twin projects performed the first ever harmonized human biomonitoring survey in 17 European countries. In more than 1800 mother-child pairs, individual lifestyle data were collected and cadmium, cotinine and certain phthalate metabolites were measured in urine. Total mercury was determined in hair samples. While the main goal of the COPHES/DEMOCOPHES twin projects was to develop and test harmonized protocols and procedures, the goal of the current paper is to investigate whether the observed differences in biomarker values among the countries implementing DEMOCOPHES can be interpreted using information from external databases on environmental quality and lifestyle. In general, 13 countries having implemented DEMOCOPHES provided high-quality data from external sources that were relevant for interpretation purposes. However, some data were not available for reporting or were not in line with predefined specifications. Therefore, only part of the external information could be included in the statistical analyses. Nonetheless, there was a highly significant correlation between national levels of fish consumption and mercury in hair, the strength of antismoking legislation was significantly related to urinary cotinine levels, and we were able to show indications that also urinary cadmium levels were associated with environmental quality and food quality. These results again show the potential of biomonitoring data to provide added value for (the evaluation of) evidence-informed policy making.

Abstract
Bone ash, collagen, Ca and P composition, are considered the main factors affecting mechanical properties in bones. However, a series of studies in bone and antler have shown that some trace minerals, such as manganese, may play a role whose importance exceeds what may be expected considering their low content. A previous study showed that a reduction in manganese in antlers during a year of late winter frosts led to generalized antler breakage in Spain, which included a reduction of 30% of cortical thickness, 27% reduction in impact energy, and 10% reduction in work to peak force. Starting for this observation, we experimentally studied the effects of manganese supplementation in adults and yearling (yearlings) red deer under a balanced diet. Subjects were 29 deer of different age classes (adult n = 19, yearlings n = 10) that were divided in a manganese injected group (n = 14) and a control group (n = 15). Antler content in ashes and minerals, intrinsic mechanical properties and cross section structure were examined at 4 points along the antler beam. A one way ANOVA (mean per antler) showed that in yearlings, manganese supplementation only increased its content and that of Fe. However, in adults, Mn supplementation increased the mean content per antler of Ca, Na, P, B, Co, Cu, K, Mn, Ni, Se (while Si content was reduced), and impact work but not Young's modulus of elasticity, bending strength or work to peak force. A GLM series on characteristics in the uppermost part examined in the antler, often showing physiological exhaustion and depletion of body stores, showed also a 16% increase in work to peak force in the antlers of the treated group. Thus, manganese supplementation altered mineral composition of antler and improved structure and some mechanical properties despite animals having a balanced diet.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the leading cause of worldwide cancer deaths. While smoking is its leading risk factor, few prospective cohort studies have reported on the association of lung cancer with both active and passive smoking. This study aimed to determine the relationship between lung cancer incidence with both active and passive smoking (childhood, adult at home, and at work). PATIENTS AND METHODS The Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS) was a prospective cohort study conducted at 40 US centers that enrolled postmenopausal women from 1993 to 1999. Among 93 676 multiethnic participants aged 50-79, 76 304 women with complete smoking and covariate data comprised the analytic cohort. Lung cancer incidence was calculated by Cox proportional hazards models, stratified by smoking status. RESULTS Over 10.5 mean follow-up years, 901 lung cancer cases were identified. Compared with never smokers (NS), lung cancer incidence was much higher in current [hazard ratio (HR) 13.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) 10.80-16.75] and former smokers (FS; HR 4.20, 95% CI 3.48-5.08) in a dose-dependent manner. Current and FS had significantly increased risk for all lung cancer subtypes, particularly small-cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Among NS, any passive smoking exposure did not significantly increase lung cancer risk (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.52-1.49). However, risk tended to be increased in NS with adult home passive smoking exposure ≥30 years, compared with NS with no adult home exposure (HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.00-2.58). CONCLUSIONS In this prospective cohort of postmenopausal women, active smoking significantly increased risk of all lung cancer subtypes; current smokers had significantly increased risk compared with FS. Among NS, prolonged passive adult home exposure tended to increase lung cancer risk. These data support continued need for smoking prevention and cessation interventions, passive smoking research, and further study of lung cancer risk factors in addition to smoking.

Abstract
A new module for the measurement of magneto-electric properties was developed as an add-on for a magnetic AC susceptibility option of a Physical Properties Measurement System (PPMS). The module is capable of recording direct dynamic and static converse magneto-electric effect, i.e., the change in electric polarization due to the application of a small AC magnetic field with a DC magnetic field bias, or the change in the magnetic moment induced by an applied electric field. The versatile module setup supports both measurements in a sequential order without the need of removing or repositioning the sample. Furthermore, AC and DC magnetic susceptibilities can be recorded while performing direct and inverse magneto-electric measurements, respectively, which adds outstanding capabilities to the existing instrument while saving time and resources. Measurements are fully automated and integrated in the PPMS Multivu software platform. Magneto-electric behavior of a BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 and BaTiO3/NiFe2O4 magneto-electric composites, and a Pb(Fe(0.5)Nb(0.5))O3 single phase compound were recorded as test measurements.
