Abstract
PURPOSE Posterior scoliosis fusion (PSF) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is considered a highly successful surgery with excellent outcomes. However, especially as many patients "graduate" from their pediatric surgeons, there is the need to quantify the long-term outcomes of such surgeries. METHODS The 2010-2022 Pearldiver M161 dataset was queried for those who were 10 to 18 years old with AIS undergoing PSF with at least 10 years follow-up. Patient characteristics were abstracted. Reoperations were identified based on coding for any subsequent thoracic/lumbar surgery/revision. The 10-year reoperation rate and reasons for reoperation were determined, and multivariate regression was performed to determine risk factors. RESULTS In total, 3,373 AIS PSF patients were identified. Of the study cohort, 324 (9.6%) underwent reoperation within 10-years with an interquartile range for timing of surgery of 81-658 days, of which 29.6% were done for infection. Reoperations were done within the first three months for 152 (46.9% of reoperations), three months to 2 years for 97 (29.9%), and 2 years to 10 years for 74 (22.8%). Based on multivariate regression, need for reoperation was associated with male sex (OR: 1.70), asthma (OR: 1.36) and greater than thirteen segments of instrumentation (OR: 1.48) (p < 0.05 for each) but not age, other comorbidities, or insurance. CONCLUSIONS The current study of a large national AIS PSF population found 9.6% to undergo reoperation in the 10 years following their index operation. Although specifics about the curve pattern could not be determined, the reoperation incidence and correlation with specific risk factors are notable and important for patient counselling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of data suggests that balance impairment may be linked to the onset of dementia. OBJECTIVES However, a large-scale epidemiologic investigation is needed to clarify its association in older adults. DESIGN A retrospective-prospective hybrid database. SETTING Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the relationship between balance impairment and the risk of incident dementia, and the results were provided as adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). All participants were tracked until the date of incident dementia, death, or 31 December 2019 whichever came first. PARTICIPANTS We analyzed 143,788 older adults who had at least one health screening between 2009 and 2019 from the Korea National Health Insurance Service-Senior Cohort. MEASUREMENTS A total of 3,774 cases of dementia were discovered throughout 850,425 person-years of follow-up investigation. Balance impairment was associated with a risk of dementia compared to those without balance impairment (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.83; 95% CI, 1.69-2.00; P value <0.001). RESULTS Risks of the Alzheimer's disease (aHR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.65-1.96; P for trend <0.001) and the vascular dementia (aHR, 2.94; 95% CI, 1.89-4.58; P for trend <0.001) showed comparable trends and findings. CONCLUSIONS Balance impairment was found to be independently associated with an increased risk of dementia in older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Pedicle screw fixation has become common in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Malpositioned pedicle screws have significant complications and identifying surgical techniques to optimize screw placement accuracy is imperative. PURPOSE To compare the rate of intraoperative revision, replacement, or removal of pedicle screws placed utilizing 3D printed guides compared with pedicle screws placed utilizing a freehand technique. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Retrospective cohort study/single academic center. PATIENT SAMPLE Thirty-two patients aged 10 to 18 with AIS. OUTCOME MEASURES Revision rate of pedicle screws and operative time between groups. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on patients 10 to 18 years of age who underwent posterior spinal instrumented fusion for AIS from February 2021 to July 2022. The study received an IRB exemption. Patient demographics, intraoperative measures, and outcome variables were recorded. Intraoperatively, all patients underwent a 3-dimensional fluoroscopic "check scan," which included axial, sagittal, and coronal images, to assess for screw accuracy. A secondary outcome of operative time was compared between groups. The p-values <.05 were considered significant. RESULTS A total of 32 patients were included in this study. There were 17 cases in the 3D guided and 15 cases in fluoroscopy-guided freehand cohort. There was a total of 254 pedicle screws using 3D guides and 402 screws using freehand technique. Between cohorts, there were no significant differences in a number of levels fused (p=.54) or length of surgery (p=.36). The total revision rate of 3D guided screw placement was 5.5% and that of the freehand technique was 8.5%. The freehand screw placement group had significantly higher revision rates per vertebral level compared with 3D guided (p=.0096). Notably, 3D printed guides had fewer screws that were removed/revised for being too anterior (7.1%) compared with freehand (23.5%). Surgical time was not significantly different between the 3D guided and freehand cohort (p=.35). CONCLUSIONS 3D printed guides reduce intraoperative revision rate compared with freehand techniques. Total operative time is comparable to freehand technique.

Abstract
Cosmic rays are energetic charged particles from extraterrestrial sources, with the highest-energy events thought to come from extragalactic sources. Their arrival is infrequent, so detection requires instruments with large collecting areas. In this work, we report the detection of an extremely energetic particle recorded by the surface detector array of the Telescope Array experiment. We calculate the particle's energy as [Formula: see text] (~40 joules). Its arrival direction points back to a void in the large-scale structure of the Universe. Possible explanations include a large deflection by the foreground magnetic field, an unidentified source in the local extragalactic neighborhood, or an incomplete knowledge of particle physics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the skin that affects approximately 3% of the US adult population. Patients with psoriasis may be predisposed to spine surgical site infections (SSI) related to the condition and/or related medications following surgeries such as lumbar laminotomy/discectomy. PURPOSE To assess the potential correlation of psoriasis and its related treatment medications on the risk of infection-related complications after lumbar laminotomy/discectomy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case control, national administrative database study. PATIENT SAMPLE Adult patients who underwent isolated single-level lumbar discectomy between 2010 and Q1 of 2021 were identified in the PearlDiver Mariner Ortho151 national administrative database (excluding those with concurrent diagnoses of fractures, neoplasms, or infections). OUTCOME MEASURES Ninety-day postoperative rates of surgical site infection and sepsis. METHODS Lumbar laminotomy/discectomy patients with versus without psoriasis were matched 1:4 based on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. The risk of SSI and sepsis in the 90-day postoperative window between the cohorts were compared with multivariable analyses. Five-year reoperation rates were also compared with log rank test. The matched psoriasis cohort was further subdivided by psoriasis treatment regimens - no medication treatment (NT), topical therapies only (TT), topical therapies with oral systemic treatments (TT/OS), and topical therapies with biologics (TT/B). Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the risk of SSI and sepsis within 90 days after lumbar laminotomy/discectomy for each treatment subgroup compared to patients without psoriasis. RESULTS In total, 2,262 patients with psoriasis who underwent single-level lumbar laminotomy/discectomy were identified and matched by age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index to 9,044 patients without psoriasis. Multivariable logistic regression showed that, compared to the patients without psoriasis, patients with psoriasis had a 1.795 times higher chance of developing SSI (odds ratio [OR]) (p<.001) and sepsis (OR: 1.743, p=.027) within 90 days of surgery. Having psoriasis did not significantly correlate with 5-year reoperation rates. Of those with psoriasis, NT subcohort had 1,038 patients, TT subcohort 571 patients, TT/OS subcohort 226 patients, and TT/B subcohort 140 patients. Based on multivariable analysis and compared to nonpsoriasis patients, those in the NT, TT, TT/OS were not at greater odds of postoperative SSI or sepsis. Conversely, those in the TT/B subcohort were at significantly greater odds of SSI (OR: 3.102, p=.019) and sepsis (OR: 6.367, p=.027). CONCLUSIONS Of single-level lumbar laminotomy/discectomy patients with psoriasis, only those on topical therapies and biologics were at greater risk of postoperative SSI and sepsis. This subcohort warrants specific attention when undergoing lumbar laminotomy/discectomy and possibly holding such medications for a period prior to surgery may be warranted if possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Morbid obesity (MO) has been associated with increased risk of adverse events following procedures such as posterior lumbar fusion (PLF). While preemptive bariatric surgery (BS) has been considered for those with MO (body mass index [BMI] ≥35 kg/m2), not all undergoing such intervention have significant weight loss, and the impact of BS has been shown to correlate with weight loss after different related procedures. PURPOSE To examine outcomes following isolated single level PLF among patients with history of BS who subsequently did and did not transition out of the morbidly obese category. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Retrospective case-control study. PATIENT SAMPLE The PearlDiver 2010-Q1 2020 MSpine database was used to identify adult patients undergoing elective isolated PLF. Patients were excluded if they had a history of infection, neoplasm, or trauma in the 90-days prior to their PLF and if they were not active in the database for at least 90 days following their surgery. Three sub-cohorts were defined: 1) MO controls without a history of BS (-BS+MO), 2) patients with prior BS procedure who remained MO (+BS+MO), and 3) patients with prior BS who were no longer MO at the time of PLF (+BS-MO). Matched 1:1:1 populations were created for these three sub-cohorts based on age, sex and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI). OUTCOME MEASURES Ninety-day adverse events and readmission rates were assessed and compared between the three sub-cohorts (-BS+MO, +BS+MO, +BS-MO). METHODS Univariable analyses and multivariable logistic regression were performed on the matched population to compare 90-day adverse events and readmission rates controlling for age, sex, and ECI. RESULTS The current study identified PLF patients who were MO at the time of surgery but did not have a history of BS (-BS+MO, n=34,236), those who had BS and remained MO (+BS+MO, n=564), and those who had MS and were no longer MO (+BS-MO, n=209 which was only 27% of those who had BS). On multivariable analysis of the matched populations, those that had BS but remained MO (+BS+MO) were not at reduced odds of 90-day adverse events. However, those that had BS and were no longer MO (+BS-MO) were at reduced odds of 90-day any, severe, and minor adverse events (OR 0.41, 0.51, and 0.37, respectively with p<0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Only 27% of those with a history of BS prior to PLF transitioned out of the MO category. Compared to those who were morbidly obese without BS, those who had BS were only at reduced risk of 90-day adverse events if they actually lost weight sufficient to drop out of morbidly obesity. These findings should be taken into account when counseling patients and interpreting prior studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To predict CRT response in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) with handcrafted radiomics (HCR) and deep learning radiomics (DLR) using pretreatment MRI. Furthermore, we investigate whether the incorporation of clinical factors improves prediction performance. MATERIALS/METHODS Two hundred and fifty-two patients with LACC are enrolled. All patients are treated with external beam radiotherapy, followed by high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy with concurrent cisplatin. The patients are randomly divided into two independent groups for the training (167 patients) and test datasets (85 patients). Contrast-enhanced T1- and T2-weighted MR scans are obtained. Patients in the training and test sets have similar characteristics in terms of age, tumor size, FIGO stage, HPV infection status, or CRT response. For HCR analysis, 1890 imaging features are extracted and a support vector machine classifier with a five-fold cross-validation is trained using training dataset to predict CRT response and validated using test dataset. For DLR analysis, a 3-dimensional convolutional neural network was trained and validated using test dataset. RESULTS A comparison of the DLR and HCR models reveals that the DLR model exhibits better prediction performance than the HCR model for the test dataset (AUC = 0.721 vs. 0.597, p = 0.097). The incorporation of clinical factors could improve performance in both DLR and HCR models. CONCLUSION The DLR models outperform the HCR models in predicting CRT responses in patients with LACC. Combining clinical factors and MRI may improve the prediction performance in both HCR and DLR analyses.

Abstract
Humic-like substances (HULIS), known for their substantial impact on the atmosphere, are identified in marine diesel engine emissions obtained from five different fuels at two engine loads simulating real world scenarios as well as the application of wet sulfur scrubbers. The HULIS chemical composition is characterized by electrospray ionization (ESI) ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry and shown to contain partially oxidized alkylated polycyclic aromatic compounds as well as partially oxidized aliphatic compounds, both including abundant nitrogen- and sulfur-containing species, and clearly different to HULIS emitted from biomass burning. Fuel properties such as sulfur content and aromaticity as well as the fuel combustion efficiency and engine mode are reflected in the observed HULIS composition. When the marine diesel engine is operated below the optimum engine settings, e.g., during maneuvering in harbors, HULIS-C emission factors are increased (262-893 mg kg-1), and a higher number of HULIS with a shift toward lower degree of oxidation and higher aromaticity is detected. Additionally, more aromatic and aliphatic CHOS compounds in HULIS were detected, especially for high-sulfur fuel combustion. The application of wet sulfur scrubbers decreased the HULIS-C emission factors by 4-49% but also led to the formation of new HULIS compounds. Overall, our results suggest the consideration of marine diesel engines as a relevant regional source of HULIS emissions.

Abstract
Natural regeneration of degraded reefs relies on the recruitment of larvae to restore populations. Intervention strategies are being developed to enhance this process through aquaculture production of coral larvae and their deployment as spat. Larval settlement relies on cues associated with crustose coralline algae (CCA) that are known to induce attachment and metamorphosis. To understand processes underpinning recruitment, we tested larval settlement responses of 15 coral species, to 15 species of CCA from the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). CCA in the family Lithophyllaceae were overall the best inducer across most coral species, with Titanoderma cf. tessellatum being the most effective species that induced at least 50% settlement in 14 of the coral species (mean 81%). Taxonomic level associations were found, with species of Porolithon inducing high settlement in the genus Acropora; while a previously understudied CCA, Sporolithon sp., was a strong inducer for the Lobophyllidae. Habitat-specific associations were detected, with CCA collected from similar light environment as the coral inducing higher levels of settlement. This study revealed the intimate relationships between coral larvae and CCA and provides optimal coral-algal species pairings that could be utilized to increase the success of larval settlement to generate healthy spat for reef restoration.

Abstract
The emissions of marine diesel engines have gained both global and regional attentions because of their impact on human health and climate change. To reduce ship emissions, the International Maritime Organization capped the fuel sulfur content of marine fuels. Consequently, either low-sulfur fuels or additional exhaust gas cleaning devices for the reduction in sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions became mandatory. Although a wet scrubber reduces the amount of SO2 significantly, there is still a need to consider the reduction in particle emissions directly. We present data on the particle removal efficiency of a scrubber regarding particle number and mass concentration with different marine fuel types, marine gas oil, and two heavy fuel oils (HFOs). An open-loop sulfur scrubber was installed in the exhaust line of a marine diesel test engine. Fine particulate matter was comprehensively characterized in terms of its physical and chemical properties. The wet scrubber led up to a 40% reduction in particle number, whereas a reduction in particle mass emissions was not generally determined. We observed a shift in the size distribution by the scrubber to larger particle diameters when the engine was operated on conventional HFOs. The reduction in particle number concentrations and shift in particle size were caused by the coagulation of soot particles and formation/growing of sulfur-containing particles. Combining the scrubber with a wet electrostatic precipitator as an additional abatement system showed a reduction in particle number and mass emission factors by >98%. Therefore, the application of a wet scrubber for the after-treatment of marine fuel oil combustion will reduce SO2 emissions, but it does not substantially affect the number and mass concentration of respirable particulate matters. To reduce particle emission, the scrubber should be combined with additional abatement systems.

Abstract
As a result of climate change and global warming, plant diseases and pests are drawing attention because they are dispersing more quickly than ever before. The tomato leaf miner destroys the growth structure of the tomato, resulting in 80 to 100 percent tomato loss. Despite extensive efforts to prevent its spread, the tomato leaf miner can be found on most continents. To protect tomatoes from the tomato leaf miner, inspections must be performed on a regular basis throughout the tomato life cycle. To find a better deep neural network (DNN) approach for detecting tomato leaf miner, we investigated two DNN models for classification and segmentation. The same RGB images of tomato leaves captured from real-world agricultural sites were used to train the two DNN models. Precision, recall, and F1-score were used to compare the performance of two DNN models. In terms of diagnosing the tomato leaf miner, the DNN model for segmentation outperformed the DNN model for classification, with higher precision, recall, and F1-score values. Furthermore, there were no false negative cases in the prediction of the DNN model for segmentation, indicating that it is adequate for detecting plant diseases and pests.

Abstract
The health effects of exposure to secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) are still limited. Here, we investigated and compared the toxicities of soot particles (SP) coated with β-pinene SOA (SOAβPin-SP) and SP coated with naphthalene SOA (SOANap-SP) in a human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) residing at the air-liquid interface. SOAβPin-SP mostly contained oxygenated aliphatic compounds from β-pinene photooxidation, whereas SOANap-SP contained a significant fraction of oxygenated aromatic products under similar conditions. Following exposure, genome-wide transcriptome responses showed an Nrf2 oxidative stress response, particularly for SOANap-SP. Other signaling pathways, such as redox signaling, inflammatory signaling, and the involvement of matrix metalloproteinase, were identified to have a stronger impact following exposure to SOANap-SP. SOANap-SP also induced a stronger genotoxicity response than that of SOAβPin-SP. This study elucidated the mechanisms that govern SOA toxicity and showed that, compared to SOAs derived from a typical biogenic precursor, SOAs from a typical anthropogenic precursor have higher toxicological potency, which was accompanied with the activation of varied cellular mechanisms, such as aryl hydrocarbon receptor. This can be attributed to the difference in chemical composition; specifically, the aromatic compounds in the naphthalene-derived SOA had higher cytotoxic potential than that of the β-pinene-derived SOA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been well characterised and codified through the development of diagnostic criteria. These criteria have been adapted and simplified and are widely used in clinical practice. However, there is a need to update and precisely define the criteria for both treatment response and treatment. METHODS A systematic review was performed and a modified Delphi consensus process was used to identify and redefine the response criteria in autoimmune hepatitis. RESULTS The consensus process initiated by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group proposes that the term 'complete biochemical response' defined as 'normalization of serum transaminases and IgG below the upper limit of normal' be adopted to include a time point at 6 months after initiation of treatment. An insufficient response by 6 months was a failure to meet the above definition. Non-response was defined as '<50% decrease of serum transaminases within 4 weeks after initiation of treatment'. Remission is defined as liver histology with a Hepatitis Activity Index <4/18. Intolerance to treatment was agreed to stand for 'any adverse event possibly related to treatment leading to potential drug discontinuation'. CONCLUSIONS These definitions provide a simple and reproducible framework to define treatment response and non-response, irrespective of the therapeutic intervention. A consensus on endpoints is urgently required to set a global standard for the reporting of study results and to enable inter-study comparisons. Future prospective database studies are needed to validate these endpoints. LAY SUMMARY Consensus among international experts on response criteria and endpoints in autoimmune hepatitis is lacking. A consensus on endpoints is urgently required to set a global standard for the reporting of study results and to enable the comparison of results between clinical trials. Therefore, the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group (IAIHG) herein presents a statement on 5 agreed response criteria and endpoints: complete biochemical response, insufficient response, non-response, remission, and intolerance to treatment, which can be used to guide future reporting.

Abstract
Background: Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) formed from anthropogenic or biogenic gaseous precursors in the atmosphere substantially contribute to the ambient fine particulate matter [PM ≤2.5μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5)] burden, which has been associated with adverse human health effects. However, there is only limited evidence on their differential toxicological impact. Objectives: We aimed to discriminate toxicological effects of aerosols generated by atmospheric aging on combustion soot particles (SPs) of gaseous biogenic (β-pinene) or anthropogenic (naphthalene) precursors in two different lung cell models exposed at the air–liquid interface (ALI). Methods: Mono- or cocultures of lung epithelial cells (A549) and endothelial cells (EA.hy926) were exposed at the ALI for 4 h to different aerosol concentrations of a photochemically aged mixture of primary combustion SP and β-pinene (SOAβPIN-SP) or naphthalene (SOANAP-SP). The internally mixed soot/SOA particles were comprehensively characterized in terms of their physical and chemical properties. We conducted toxicity tests to determine cytotoxicity, intracellular oxidative stress, primary and secondary genotoxicity, as well as inflammatory and angiogenic effects. Results: We observed considerable toxicity-related outcomes in cells treated with either SOA type. Greater adverse effects were measured for SOANAP-SP compared with SOAβPIN-SP in both cell models, whereas the nano-sized soot cores alone showed only minor effects. At the functional level, we found that SOANAP-SP augmented the secretion of malondialdehyde and interleukin-8 and may have induced the activation of endothelial cells in the coculture system. This activation was confirmed by comet assay, suggesting secondary genotoxicity and greater angiogenic potential. Chemical characterization of PM revealed distinct qualitative differences in the composition of the two secondary aerosol types. Discussion: In this study using A549 and EA.hy926 cells exposed at ALI, SOA compounds had greater toxicity than primary SPs. Photochemical aging of naphthalene was associated with the formation of more oxidized, more aromatic SOAs with a higher oxidative potential and toxicity compared with β-pinene. Thus, we conclude that the influence of atmospheric chemistry on the chemical PM composition plays a crucial role for the adverse health outcome of emissions. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP9413

Abstract
The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 examination will transition from graded to pass/fail scoring starting no earlier than January 2022. Orthopedic surgery residency programs will need to adapt to these changes. The goal of this study was to investigate the perceptions of orthopedic surgery residency program directors on the change of Step 1 from a graded to a pass/fail examination. We also investigated how the change would affect the other factors that are typically considered in the selection of orthopedic surgery residents. A survey was distributed to 161 directors of allopathic orthopedic surgery programs. Contact information was obtained from a national database. Of those contacted, 75 (46.6%) program directors responded. Most (85.3%) did not support the pass/fail change. Most believe that greater importance will be placed on the Step 2 Clinical Knowledge examination (96.0%), audition elective with their department (84.0%), personal knowledge of the applicant (78.7%), grades (74.7%), letters of recommendation from recognizable orthopedic surgeons (74.7%), and Alpha Omega Alpha status (69.3%). Most also believe that this change will advantage allopathic students who attend highly regarded schools (58.7%). Most of the program directors support a graded preclinical curriculum (69.3%) and caps on the number of orthopedic surgery residency applications (70.7%). Although most orthopedic surgery program directors disagree with the change to a pass/fail Step 1 examination, residency programs will need to reevaluate how they screen applicants for an interview once the scored Step 1 is no longer available. With this change, other factors, such as Step 2 score, audition rotations, and grades in clerkships, will be emphasized more heavily. [Orthopedics. 2022;45(1):e30-e34.].

Abstract
An AFF is a form of stress fracture induced by excessive physiologic repetitive stress over the bone remodeling capacity. Although glucocorticoid administration is a known risk factor for AFF, no case of AFF with glucocorticoid administration as the only risk factor has been previously reported. In this report, we aimed to highlight the risk of AFF associated with long-term administration of glucocorticoids, and the importance of surveillance and correction of risk factors in patients undergoing long-term glucocorticoid therapy. A 58-year-old male patient was diagnosed with subtrochanteric AFF. He had no medical history of any condition that might disrupt bone metabolism and no known risk factors for AFF, except for long-term administration of glucocorticoid. After fixation of the fracture, the glucocorticoid was replaced with an alternative medication. Although AFF is notorious for delayed union or nonunion, complete union of the fracture was obtained at 14 months postoperatively. This case brought to our attention the possibility that glucocorticoids alone may be responsible for inducing AFF and highlighted the importance of regular assessments in case of necessity of glucocorticoid administration. Additionally, correction of risk factors might expedite the union of AFF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether age-specific prevalence of frailty in Japan changed between 2012 and 2017. DESIGN This study performed meta-analyses of data collected from 2012 to 2017 using the Integrated Longitudinal Studies on Aging in Japan (ILSA-J), a collection of representative Japanese cohort studies. SETTING The ILSA-J studies were conducted on community-living older adults. PARTICIPANTS ILSA-J studies were considered eligible for analysis if they assessed physical frailty status and presence of frailty in the sample. Seven studies were analyzed for 2012 (±1 year; n = 10312) and eight studies were analyzed for 2017 (±1 year; n = 7010). Five studies were analyzed for both 2012 and 2017. MEASUREMENTS The study assessed the prevalence of frailty and frailty status according to 5 criteria: slowness, weakness, low activity, exhaustion, and weight loss. RESULTS The overall prevalence of physical frailty was 7.0% in 2012 and 5.3% in 2017. The prevalence of frailty, especially in people 70 years and older, tended to decrease in 2017 compared to 2012. Slight decreases were found in the prevalence of frailty subitems including weight loss, slowness, exhaustion, and low activity between 2012 and 2017, but change in the prevalence of weakness was weaker than other components. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of physical frailty decreased from 2012 to 2017. There are age- and gender-related variations in the decrease of each component of frailty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 will transition from numeric grading to pass/fail, sometime after January 2022. The aim of this study was to compare how program directors in orthopaedics and internal medicine perceive a pass/fail Step 1 will impact the residency application process. METHODS A 27-item survey was distributed through REDCap to 161 U.S. orthopaedic residency program directors and 548 U.S. internal medicine residency program directors. Program director emails were obtained from the American Medical Association's Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database. RESULTS We received 58 (36.0%) orthopaedic and 125 (22.8%) internal medicine program director responses. The majority of both groups disagree with the change to pass/fail, and felt that the decision was not transparent. Both groups believe that the Step 2 Clinical Knowledge exam and clerkship grades will take on more importance. Compared to internal medicine PDs, orthopaedic PDs were significantly more likely to emphasize research, letters of recommendation from known faculty, Alpha Omega Alpha membership, leadership/extracurricular activities, audition elective rotations, and personal knowledge of the applicant. Both groups believe that allopathic students from less prestigious medical schools, osteopathic students, and international medical graduates will be disadvantaged. Orthopaedic and internal medicine program directors agree that medical schools should adopt a graded pre-clinical curriculum, and that there should be a cap on the number of residency applications a student can submit. CONCLUSION Orthopaedic and internal medicine program directors disagree with the change of Step 1 to pass/fail. They also believe that this transition will make the match process more difficult, and disadvantage students from less highly-regarded medical schools. Both groups will rely more heavily on the Step 2 clinical knowledge exam score, but orthopaedics will place more importance on research, letters of recommendation, Alpha Omega Alpha membership, leadership/extracurricular activities, personal knowledge of the applicant, and audition electives.

Abstract
Background:Heart failure is a prevalent and ever-increasing public health concern associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. Therefore, identifying any factors that worsen the outcome of patients with heart failure is crucial to the nation’s medical and financial health.One of the major comorbidities associated with heart failure is gout. Gout is a clinical syndrome of joint inflammation resulting from the deposition of monosodium urate crystals, causing painful and swollen arthritis. Acute gout flares in the context of acute heart failure (AHF) exacerbations result in longer lengths of stay and form an independent risk factor for increased readmissions or death1. The use of loop diuretics in treating patients with AHF exacerbations may cause new onset of gouty arthritis or recurrence of established gout by increasing serum uric acid levels. Uric acid alone is implicated as an independent predictor of mortality in patients with chronic heart failure2.Objectives:In this study, we aim to better characterize the incidence of acute gout flares in patients being treated with intravenous bumetanide for AHF exacerbations.Methods:This single-center retrospective cohort study included adult patients within an urban tertiary-care center hospital between 5 August 2016 and 30 June 2018. Chart review was performed to identify 130 patients who were hospitalized for AHF exacerbations, received intravenous (IV) bumetanide, and developed an acute gout flare for a total of 176 cases (Figure 1).Figure 1Patient SelectionPatients were identified as having an acute gout flare if the primary treating physician(s) documented a clinical picture congruous with acute gout (e.g., onset of a painful, swollen, or erythematous joint) and administered conventional treatment for acute gout including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), steroids, colchicine, urate-lowering therapies, and/or intra-articular joint injection with symptomatic improvement.Results:The annualized incidence of acute gout while receiving IV bumetanide for a heart failure exacerbation is 7.17%.There was no statistical difference in age, gender, race, or BMI among patients who developed acute gout compared with those who did not develop acute gout while receiving IV bumetanide.An acute gout flare that occurred during treatment of AHF with IV bumetanide increased hospital length of stay (LOS) by 3 days (mean LOS 15.2 days in those who had acute gout, mean LOS 11.6 days in those who did not [p-value 0.277]).Patients who received allopurinol during their hospitalization for AHF exacerbation had lower 30-day readmission rates for any cause (p-value 0.017, Table 4). There was no reduction in the 30-day readmission rate in patients who received colchicine without allopurinol during their hospitalization for AHF exacerbation. Those with a history of gout had higher readmission rates than those without a history of gout (p-value 0.007).Conclusion:Gout is known to be a weighty contributor to patients’ morbidity and mortality in heart failure, and the occurrence of acute gout flare in AHF exacerbations may be precipitated by the use of loop diuretics. We show that the use of IV bumetanide in patients hospitalized for AHF exacerbations is associated with a 7.17% yearly incidence of acute gout flares. Furthermore, patients with a history of gout were found to have higher readmission rates, and those who received allopurinol during their hospitalization had lower readmission rates.References:[1]Thanassoulis G, Brophy JM, Richard H, Pilote L.

Abstract
Coloration plays a crucial role in the social communication and survival of organisms. Multidisciplinary studies have been conducted to elucidate the correlation between coloration and melanin biosynthesis (referred as melanogenesis). The multi-copper enzyme tyrosinase catalyzes the first two steps of melanogenesis for coloration in teleosts. Due to the increasing demand of tyrosinase inhibitors for the production of skin whitening cosmetics, hypopigmentation pharmaceuticals, and anti-browning agents, a large number of natural and synthetic inhibitors have been developed over the past few decades. Although a number of previous studies have focused on human use and toxicity, such as the increased cytotoxic effects of ROS-generating compounds, their ecotoxicological impacts on aquatic organisms are still poorly understood. Hence, the focus of the present review is to describe the role of coloration in teleosts as well as potential ecotoxicological effects elicited by exposure to tyrosinase inhibitors. Furthermore, this review introduces our recently registered adverse outcome pathway (AOP) related to tyrosinase inhibition and population decline in teleosts.

Abstract
Background/Introduction
Physical activity has been shown to reduce mortality in a dose-response fashion. Current guidelines recommend 500 to 1,000 MET-min per week of regular physical activity. However, evidence is limited regarding the specific dose-response relationship in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Purpose
Our aim was to compare the impact of physical activity on mortality in primary versus secondary cardiovascular prevention.

We analyzed 441,798 individuals with complete information on physical activity levels between 2009 and 2015 were extracted from a population-based cohort (National Health Insurance Service-National Health Screening cohort). Physical activity measured by self-report questionnaires. A rating of 2.9, 4.0, and 7.0 METs were assigned for light-intensity, moderate-intensity, and vigorous-intensity activities, respectively. Physical activity-related energy expenditure (MET-min/week) was calculated by summing the product of frequency, intensity, and duration. The level of physical activity was classified into 0, 0 to 499, 500 to 999, 1,000 to 1,499, and ≥1,500 MET-min/week. Study participants were stratified by the presence of cardiovascular disease, defined as prior myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, prior stroke, and/or chronic heart failure. The main study outcome was all-cause mortality. The median follow-up duration was 5.9 years.
Results
Individuals with cardiovascular disease had lower physical activity levels and a higher risk of mortality than those without cardiovascular disease. There was an inverse relationship between the physical activity level and the mortality risk in both groups. The benefit in the secondary prevention group was shown to be greater than that in the primary prevention group: every 500 MET-min/week increase in physical activity resulted in a 14% and 7% risk reduction in mortality in the secondary and primary prevention groups, respectively (interaction P<0.001). In addition, while individuals without cardiovascular disease benefited the most between 0 and 500 MET-min/week of physical activity, the benefit in those with cardiovascular disease continued above 500 to 1,000 MET-min/week. The adjusted mortality risk of individuals with cardiovascular disease who performed a high level of physical activity (≥1,000 MET-min/week) was shown to be comparable to or lower than that of their counterparts without cardiovascular disease.
Adjusted risk of mortality
Conclusion
Individuals with cardiovascular disease may benefit from physical activity to a greater extent than do healthy subjects without cardiovascular disease. Clinicians should encourage patients with cardiovascular disease to maintain a physically active lifestyle as much as possible.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the association between Twitter exposure and the number of citations for coloproctology articles. METHOD Original articles from journals using Twitter between June 2015 and May 2016 were evaluated for the following characteristics: publishing journal; article subject; study design; nationality, speciality and affiliation of the author(s); and reference on Twitter. Citation data for these articles were retrieved from Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com) in January 2018. We performed a univariate analysis using these data followed by a multivariate, logistic regression analysis to search for factors associated with a high citation level, which was defined as accrual of more than five citations. RESULTS Out of six coloproctology journals listed on the InCites JCR database, three (Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, Colorectal Disease and Techniques in Coloproctology) used Twitter, where 200 (49.5%) out of a total of 404 articles had been featured. Citation rates of articles that featured on Twitter were significantly higher than those that did not (11.4 ± 9.2 vs 4.1 ± 3.1, P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, Twitter exposure (OR 8.6, P = 0.001), European Union nationality (OR 2.4, P = 0.004), Colorectal Disease journal (OR 3.3, P = 0.005) and systematic review articles (OR 3.4, P = 0.009) were associated with higher citation levels. CONCLUSION Article exposure on Twitter was strongly associated with a high citation level. Medical communities should encourage journals as well as physicians to actively utilize social media to expedite the spread of new ideas and ultimately benefit medical society as a whole.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While increased levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines in chronologically aged humans have been linked to the development of ageing-associated chronic disorders (e.g., cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease), approaches that reduce circulating cytokines are not yet available. In chronologically aged mice, we recently demonstrated that epidermal dysfunction largely accounts for age-associated elevations in circulating cytokine levels, and that improving epidermal function reduced circulating cytokine levels. OBJECTIVE We performed a pilot study to determine whether improving epidermal function reduces circulating pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in aged humans. METHODS Thirty-three aged humans were topically treated twice-daily for 30 days, with ≈ 3 mL of an emollient, previously shown to improve epidermal function, while untreated, aged humans and a cohort of young volunteers served as controls. Changes in epidermal function and levels of three key, age-related, plasma cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα) were measured at baseline and after treatment, using Luminex 200™ system. RESULTS We also found significantly higher baseline levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNFα in aged vs. young humans (P < 0.001), as previously reported. Topical applications of the barrier repair emollient significantly enhanced epidermal permeability barrier function (P < 0.01) and stratum corneum hydration (P < 0.05). In parallel, circulating levels of IL-1β and IL-6 normalized, while TNFα levels declined substantially. CONCLUSION The results of this preliminary study suggest that a larger clinical trial should be performed to confirm whether improving epidermal function also can reduce circulating pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in aged humans, while also possibly attenuating the downstream development of chronic inflammatory disorders in the aged humans.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Mammography(MMG) is a measure of screening that is proven to be effective in lowering death rate in breast cancer validated by randomized control trials. Recently, the number of incidence of breast cancer in Korean women is showing ascending tendency, and also as compared to those in North American and European countries, prevalence age tends to be lower. Since they tend to have much dense breast, MMG alone can hardly be considered as a sufficient measure of breast cancer screening.
The purpose of the study is to study the effectiveness of breast ultrasonography(US) in breast cancer screening in Korean women by investigating the ratio of patients who are diagnosed as malignant in breast US over those who are diagnosed as negative or benign(category 1 and 2) and dense breast(category 0) in MMG.
Materials and Methods
We conducted the retrograde study over 2776 female subjects who had undergone screening MMG in single center in South Korea during the period between Jan, 1st 2010 to Dec, 31st 2016. Female patients are categorized according to BI-RAD category. 164 of subjects were previously undergone a breast cancer surgery, which made them eliminated from the list, and 2612 subjects are finally selected.
Results
Some more 33 subjects are excluded from the list and rest 2579 subject had undergone breast US. Among these, 1133 subjects (43.9%, 1133/2579) correspond to dense breast of BI-RADS category 0, while 303 of them are suspected of category 4 or more. The subjects corresponding to category 1 to 3 are 663, 251 and 229 respectively. 307 of 1133 subjects in category 0 are confirmed as having suspicious lesion based on findings of breast US. Among them, 66 subjects are identified as malignant based on biopsy, which accounts for 5.8% (66/1133). 104 subjects in category 1, are confirmed to have lesions based on findings of breast US, where 25 alone were identified as malignant (3.8%, 25/663). Likewise, 10 (4.0%, 10/251) in category 2 and 13 (5.7%, 13/229) in category 3 are identified.

Conclusion
It appears that 43.9% of total 2579 subjects undergone MMG and breast US are confirmed as dense breast in category 0 and 5.8% of them are diagnosed as breast cancer according to breast US and biopsy. Likewise, for those who are considered as either category 1 or 2, which is negative or benign lesion category, 3.8% are diagnosed as breast cancer. As it is appeared in this study, cancer detection can be more effective in parallel measure of MMG and breast US rather than MMG alone, especially for breast cancer screening of Korean female subjects.

Abstract
While therapeutic approaches for psoriasis are widely available, preventive regimens are lacking. We aimed to determine whether improvements in epidermal function could prevent psoriasis relapse. Two self-controlled cohort studies were designed, enrolling two cohorts of patients with psoriasis (n = 30 and n = 60) to be treated topically with an in-house-prepared emollient or ATOPALM® cream applied twice daily to one forearm for 20 and 30 days, respectively, while the same sites on the contralateral arm served as the untreated control. Epidermal function on both arms was assessed prior to and at the end of the trials. Delayed relapse on the treated arm was seen in 54.5% and 71% of patients in the first and second cohort, respectively. The time of psoriatic relapse correlated with the extent of abnormalities in baseline epidermal function. These results suggest that improvements in epidermal function with topical emollients can prevent/attenuate the development of psoriasis.

Abstract
This paper proposes a 2.2 noise efficiency factor (NEF) instrumentation amplifier for neural recording applications. A parametric amplifier based on the MOS C-V characteristic is designed as a pre-amplifier stage, lowering the input referred noise of the following stages by 3.4×. Sampling noise is minimized by oversampling the input signal and switching power is reduced by adopting an 8-phase soft-charging technique.

Abstract
Although surrogate measures to quantify pain intensity have been commercialised, there is a need to develop a new index with improved accuracy. The aim of this study was to develop a new analgesic index using nasal photoplethysmography data. The specially designed sensor was placed between the columella and the nasal septum to acquire nasal photoplethysmography in surgical patients. Nasal photoplethysmography and Surgical Pleth Index® (GE Healthcare) data were obtained for 14 min both in the absence (pre-operatively) or presence (postoperatively) of pain in a group of surgical patients, each patient acting as their own control. Various dynamic photoplethysmography variables were extracted to quantify pain intensity; the most accurate index was selected using logistic regression as a classifier. The area under the curve of the receiver-operating characteristic curve was measured to evaluate the accuracy of final model predictions. In total, 12,012 heart beats from 89 patients were used to develop a new Nasal Photoplethysmography Index for analgesic depth quantification. The two-variable model (a combination of diastolic peak point variation and heart beat interval variation) was most accurate in discriminating between the presence and absence of pain (numerical rating scale (NRS) ≥ 3). The accuracy and area under the curve of the receiver-operating characteristic curve for the Nasal Photoplethysmography Index were 75.3% and 0.8018, respectively, and 64.8% and 0.7034, respectively, for the Surgical Pleth Index. The Nasal Photoplethysmography Index clearly distinguished pain (NRS ≥ 3) in awake surgical patients with postoperative pain. The Nasal Photoplethysmography Index performed better than the Surgical Pleth Index. Further validation studies are needed to evaluate its feasibility to quantify pain intensity during general anaesthesia.

Abstract
The wide geographic spread of Eurasian Goose/Guangdong lineage highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) clade 2.3.4.4 viruses by wild birds is of great concern. In December 2014, an H5N8 HPAI clade 2.3.4.4 Group A (2.3.4.4A) virus was introduced to North America. Long-distance migratory wild aquatic birds between East Asia and North America, such as Northern Pintail (Anas acuta), were strongly suspected of being a source of intercontinental transmission. In this study, we evaluated the pathogenicity, infectivity and transmissibility of an H5N8 HPAI clade 2.3.4.4A virus in Northern Pintails and compared the results to that of an H5N1 HPAI clade 2.3.2.1 virus. All of Northern Pintails infected with either H5N1 or H5N8 virus lacked clinical signs and mortality, but the H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4 virus was more efficient at replicating within and transmitting between Northern Pintails than the H5N1 clade 2.3.2.1 virus. The H5N8-infected birds shed high titre of viruses from oropharynx and cloaca, which in the field supported virus transmission and spread. This study highlights the role of wild waterfowl in the intercontinental spread of some HPAI viruses. Migratory aquatic birds should be carefully monitored for the early detection of H5 clade 2.3.4.4 and other HPAI viruses.
