Abstract
The introduction of a higher arene unit as a structural motif is unprecedented in calixphyrin chemistry. Herein, the syntheses, spectral and structural characterization of heretofore anonymous terphenylene unit (o-p-o) incorporated calixphyrin with fused sp2 meso carbons is reported. The explicitly tailored macrocyclic core is utilized to stabilize the Cu(II) metal ion. The molecular structures of the calixbenziphyrin and Cu(II) complex are unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Moreover, theoretical supports uphold experimental conclusions.

Abstract
An important application of CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology is for identifying chemical-genetic interactions (CGIs). Discovery of genes that interact with exposure to antibiotics can yield insights to drug targets and mechanisms of action or resistance. The objective is to identify CRISPRi mutants whose relative abundance is suppressed (or enriched) in the presence of a drug when the target protein is depleted, reflecting synergistic behavior. Different sgRNAs for a given target can induce a wide range of protein depletion and differential effects on growth rate. The effect of sgRNA strength can be partially predicted based on sequence features. However, the actual growth phenotype depends on the sensitivity of cells to depletion of the target protein. For essential genes, sgRNA efficiency can be empirically measured by quantifying effects on growth rate. We observe that the most efficient sgRNAs are not always optimal for detecting synergies with drugs. sgRNA efficiency interacts in a non-linear way with drug sensitivity, producing an effect where the concentration-dependence is maximized for sgRNAs of intermediate strength (and less so for sgRNAs that induce too much or too little target depletion). To capture this interaction, we propose a novel statistical method called CRISPRi-DR (for Dose-Response model) that incorporates both sgRNA efficiencies and drug concentrations in a modified dose-response equation. We use CRISPRi-DR to re-analyze data from a recent CGI experiment in Mycobacterium tuberculosis to identify genes that interact with antibiotics. This approach can be generalized to non-CGI datasets, which we show via an CRISPRi dataset for E. coli growth on different carbon sources. The performance is competitive with the best of several related analytical methods. However, for noisier datasets, some of these methods generate far more significant interactions, likely including many false positives, whereas CRISPRi-DR maintains higher precision, which we observed in both empirical and simulated data.

Abstract
Precise modeling of shocks in inertial confinement fusion implosions is critical for obtaining the desired compression in experiments. Shock velocities and postshock conditions are determined by laser-energy deposition, heat conduction, and equations of state. This paper describes experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) [E. M. Campbell and W. J. Hogan, Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 41, B39 (1999)10.1088/0741-3335/41/12B/303] where multiple shocks are launched into a cone-in-shell target made of polystyrene, using laser-pulse shapes with two or three pickets and varying on-target intensities. Shocks are diagnosed using the velocity interferometric system for any reflector (VISAR) diagnostic [P. M. Celliers et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 75, 4916 (2004)0034-674810.1063/1.1807008]. Simulated and inferred shock velocities agree well for the range of intensities studied in this work. These directly-driven shock-timing experiments on the NIF provide a good measure of early-time laser-energy coupling. The validated models add to the credibility of direct-drive-ignition designs at the megajoule scale.

Abstract
PURPOSE Delayed diagnosis and poor awareness are significant barriers to the early intervention of pediatric brain tumors. This multicenter observational study aimed to evaluate the baseline routes and time to diagnosis for pediatric brain tumors in Tamil Nadu (TN), with the goal of promoting early diagnosis and timely referrals in the future. METHODS A standard proforma was used to retrospectively collect information on demographics, diagnosis, referral pathways, and symptoms of incident pediatric brain tumor cases between January 2018 and October 2020 across eight tertiary hospitals in TN. Dates of symptom onset, first presentation of health care, and diagnosis were used to calculate total diagnostic interval (TDI), patient interval (PI), and diagnostic interval (DI). RESULTS A total of 144 cases (mean age, 6.64 years; range, 0-15.1 years) were included in the analysis. Among those, 94% (135/144) were from city/district areas, 40% (55/144) were self-referred, and 90% (129/144) had one to three health care professional visits before diagnosis. Median TDI, PI, and DI were 3.5 (IQR, 1-9.3), 0.6 (IQR, 0.1-4.6), and 0.6 (IQR, 0-3.3) weeks, respectively. Low-grade gliomas had the longest median TDI (6.6 weeks), followed by medulloblastomas (4.6 weeks) and high-grade gliomas (3.3 weeks). Average number of symptoms recorded was 1.7 at symptom onset and 1.9 at diagnosis. CONCLUSION Although there are some similarities with data from the United Kingdom, many low-grade and optic pathway tumors were unaccounted for in our study. DIs were relatively short, which suggests that infrastructure may not be a problem in this cohort. Increased training and establishment of proper cancer registries, combined with proper referral pathways, could enhance early diagnosis for these children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CTP is increasingly used to assess eligibility for endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with large vessel occlusions (LVO). There remain variability and inconsistencies between software packages for estimation of ischemic core. We aimed to use heterogenous data from four stroke centers to perform a comparative analysis for CTP-estimated ischemic core between RAPID (iSchemaView) and Olea (Olea Medical). METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, patients with anterior circulation LVO who underwent pretreatment CTP, successful EVT (defined TICI ≥ 2b), and follow-up MRI included. Automated CTP analysis was performed using Olea platform [rCBF < 25% and differential time-to-peak (dTTP)>5s] and RAPID (rCBF < 30%). The CTP estimated core volumes were compared against the final infarct volume (FIV) on post treatment MRI-DWI. RESULTS A total of 151 patients included. The CTP-estimated ischemic core volumes (mean ± SD) were 18.7 ± 18.9 mL on Olea and 10.5 ± 17.9 mL on RAPID significantly different (p < 0.01). The correlation between CTP estimated core and MRI final infarct volume was r = 0.38, p < 0.01 for RAPID and r = 0.39, p < 0.01 for Olea. Both software platforms demonstrated a strong correlation with each other (r = 0.864, p < 0.001). Both software overestimated the ischemic core volume above 70 mL in 4 patients (2.6%). CONCLUSIONS Substantial variation between Olea and RAPID CTP-estimated core volumes exists, though rates of overcalling of large core were low and identical. Both showed comparable core volume correlation to MRI infarct volume.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates a previously unrecognized, clinically relevant spectrum of abnormal aldosterone secretion associated with hypertension severity. It is not known whether excess aldosterone secretion contributes to hypertension during pregnancy. We quantified aldosterone concentrations and angiotensin peptides in serum (using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry) in a cohort of 128 pregnant women recruited from a high-risk obstetrics clinic and followed prospectively for the development of gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, superimposed pre-eclampsia, chronic hypertension, or remaining normotensive. The cohort was grouped by quartile of aldosterone concentration in serum measured in the first trimester, and blood pressure, angiotensin peptides, and hypertension outcomes compared across the four quartiles. Blood pressures and body mass index were greatest in the top and bottom quartiles, with the top quartile having the highest blood pressure throughout pregnancy. Further stratification of the top quartile based on increasing (13 patients) or decreasing (19 patients) renin activity over gestation revealed that the latter group was characterized by the highest prevalence of chronic hypertension, use of anti-hypertensive agents, pre-term birth, and intrauterine growth restriction. Serum aldosterone concentrations greater than 704 pmol/L, the 75th percentile defined within the cohort, were evident across all categories of hypertension in pregnancy, including normotensive. These findings suggest that aldosterone excess may underlie the development of hypertension in pregnancy in a significant subpopulation of individuals.

Abstract
Pyriporphyrinoids have recently attracted a significant proliferation of attention due to their versatile characters, which stem from structural motifs in which the pyridine moiety is involved. The evolution of pyriporphyrin chemistry revealed the subtle modifications of the macrocyclic core that tweak the electronic structure as compared to the parental macrocycle. The amendment of π-electronic organization inside the core manifests exceptional photophysical and coordination properties that cover a vast range of seemingly contradictory fields. In fundamental chemistry, the pyridine unit acts as a modulator of π-conjugated porphyrinoid systems, resulting in aromaticity swapping. From the applied chemistry perspective, these macrocycles are primarily utilized as (i) sensors, (ii) NIR absorbing photoacoustic dyes, (iii) electrochemical catalysts, (iv) singlet biradicaloid generation and (v) contributors to generate metal complexes with intriguing binding modes. Surprisingly, despite their prominence, pyriporphyrinoids are inadequately investigated, while pyridine unit-embedded calixphyrin, calixpyridinopyrrole and calixpyridine are barely reported. This review article illustrates the controlled formation of specific porphyrinic scaffolds with pyridine unit(s) and diverse functionalized heterocyclic and/or carbocyclic building block(s), and demonstrates a substantial influence on the macrocyclic properties.

Abstract
Hypertension during pregnancy increases the risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, but the mechanisms of pregnancy hypertension are not precisely understood. Elevated plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentrations play an important role in the normal physiologic adaptation to pregnancy. These effectors are reduced in patients with pregnancy hypertension, creating an opportunity to define the features of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that are characteristic of this disorder. In the current study, we used a novel LC-MS/MS-based methodology to develop comprehensive profiles of RAAS peptides and effectors over gestation in a cohort of 74 pregnant women followed prospectively for the development of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia (HYP, 27 patients) versus those remaining normotensive (NT, 47 patients). In NT pregnancy, the plasma renin activity surrogate, (PRA-S, calculated from the sum of Angiotensin I + Angiotensin II) and aldosterone concentrations significantly increased from the first to the third trimester, accompanied by a modest increase in the concentrations of angiotensin peptide metabolites. In contrast, in HYP pregnancies, PRA-S and angiotensin peptides were largely unchanged over gestation, and third-trimester aldosterone concentrations were significantly lower compared with those in NT pregnancies. The results indicated that the predominant features of pregnancies that develop HYP are stalled or waning activation of the RAAS in the second half of pregnancy (accompanied by unchanging levels of angiotensin peptides) and the attenuated secretion of aldosterone.

Abstract
Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome is a delayed complication of cranial irradiation, with subacute onset of stroke-like symptoms including seizures, visual disturbance, speech impairment, unilateral hemianopsia, facial droop, and aphasia, often associated with migraine-type headache. The diagnostic criteria were initially proposed in 2006. However, the diagnosis of SMART syndrome is challenging because clinical symptoms and imaging features of SMART syndrome are indeterminate and overlap with tumor recurrence and other neurologic diseases, which may result in inappropriate clinical management and unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. Recently, various imaging features and treatment recommendations for SMART syndrome have been reported. Radiologists and clinicians should be familiar with updates on clinical and imaging features of this delayed radiation complication because recognition of this entity can facilitate proper clinical work-up and management. This review provides current updates and a comprehensive overview of the clinical and imaging features of SMART syndrome.

Abstract
We provide data on daily social contact intensity of clusters of people at different types of Points of Interest (POI) by zip code in Florida and California. This data is obtained by aggregating fine-scaled details of interactions of people at the spatial resolution of 10 m, which is then normalized as a social contact index. We also provide the distribution of cluster sizes and average time spent in a cluster by POI type. This data will help researchers perform fine-scaled, privacy-preserving analysis of human interaction patterns to understand the drivers of the COVID-19 epidemic spread and mitigation. Current mobility datasets either provide coarse-level metrics of social distancing, such as radius of gyration at the county or province level, or traffic at a finer scale, neither of which is a direct measure of contacts between people. We use anonymized, de-identified, and privacy-enhanced location-based services (LBS) data from opted-in cell phone apps, suitably reweighted to correct for geographic heterogeneities, and identify clusters of people at non-sensitive public areas to estimate fine-scaled contacts.

Abstract
Rhodium complexes of biphenylcorrole are reported, and the molecular structures of the complexes are unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The adj-CCNN core of the dicarbacorrole efficiently stabilizes a rhodium metal ion in its two different oxidation states. It is pertinent to point out that the Rh(I) metal complex attains square-planar geometry while organo-Rh(III) forms an octahedral complex. Furthermore, density functional theory studies corroborate the experimental findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The skull base osteomyelitis sometimes can be difficult to distinguish from nasopharyngeal cancer. This study aimed to investigate the differences between skull base osteomyelitis and nasopharyngeal cancer using dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging and normalized ADC values. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 8 and 12 patients with skull base osteomyelitis and nasopharyngeal cancer, respectively, who underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging and DWI before primary treatment. Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and ADC values of the ROIs were analyzed. Normalized ADC parameters were calculated by dividing the ROIs of the lesion by that of the spinal cord. RESULTS The rate transfer constant between extravascular extracellular space and blood plasma per minute (Kep) was significantly lower in patients with skull base osteomyelitis than in those with nasopharyngeal cancer (median, 0.43 versus 0.57; P = .04). The optimal cutoff value of Kep was 0.48 (area under the curve, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.55-1). The normalized mean ADC was significantly higher in patients with skull base osteomyelitis than in those with nasopharyngeal cancer (median, 1.90 versus 0.87; P < .001). The cutoff value of normalized mean ADC was 1.55 (area under the curve, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.87-1). The area under the curve of the combination of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters (Kep and extravascular extracellular space volume per unit tissue volume) was 0.89 (95% CI, 0.73-1), and the area under the curve of the combination of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized mean ADC value was 0.98 (95% CI, 0.93-1). CONCLUSIONS Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized ADC values may be useful in differentiating skull base osteomyelitis and nasopharyngeal cancer. The combination of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized ADC values outperformed each measure in isolation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the sealing ability and penetration of a bioactive material used as pit and fissure sealant to those of glass ionomer sealant. METHODS This was an in vitro experimental study conducted on 20 permanent teeth. For Group I of ten teeth, ACTIVA BioACTIVE-Base/Liner was applied as a sealant on pits and fissures, and the remaining ten teeth of Group II were sealed using glass ionomer cement. After thermocycling, the apex of the teeth was sealed using composite resin and they were immersed in 1% methylene blue solution, buffered at pH 7 for 24 h. Longitudinal sections were obtained from each tooth for evaluating the sealing ability and penetration, using a binocular light microscope at 4 × magnification. The obtained data were subjected to analysis using the Chi-square test and independent t test. RESULTS The comparison of the sealing ability and sealant penetration, between the two groups, showed statistically no significant difference (p = 0.104 and p = 1.0, respectively). CONCLUSION Bioactive material as a pit and fissure sealant, performed on par with glass ionomer sealant in terms of tested properties like sealing ability and penetration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differentiation of skull base tumors, including chondrosarcomas, chordomas, and metastases, on conventional imaging remains a challenge. We aimed to test the utility of DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging for skull base tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-nine patients with chondrosarcomas, chordomas, or metastases between January 2015 and October 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Pretreatment normalized mean ADC and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters were calculated. The Kruskal-Wallis H test for all tumor types and the Mann-Whitney U test for each pair of tumors were used. RESULTS Fifteen chondrosarcomas (9 men; median age, 62 years), 14 chordomas (6 men; median age, 47 years), and 30 metastases (11 men; median age, 61 years) were included in this study. Fractional plasma volume helped distinguish all 3 tumor types (P = .003, <.001, and <.001, respectively), whereas the normalized mean ADC was useful in distinguishing chondrosarcomas from chordomas and metastases (P < .001 and P < .001, respectively); fractional volume of extracellular space, in distinguishing chondrosarcomas from metastases (P = .02); and forward volume transfer constant, in distinguishing metastases from chondrosarcomas/chondroma (P = .002 and .002, respectively) using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The diagnostic performances of fractional plasma volume for each pair of tumors showed areas under curve of 0.86-0.99 (95% CI, 0.70-1.0); the forward volume transfer constant differentiated metastases from chondrosarcomas/chordomas with areas under curve of 0.82 and 0.82 (95% CI, 0.67-0.98), respectively; and the normalized mean ADC distinguished chondrosarcomas from chordomas/metastases with areas under curve of 0.96 and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.88-1.0), respectively. CONCLUSIONS DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging sequences can be beneficial for differentiating the 3 common skull base tumors.

Abstract
Background During the covid-19 pandemic, the East Midlands South Deanery ran virtual peer-MRCS OSCE teaching. We analysed two surveys to understand the impact of peer-MRCS teaching on surgical trainees in this region. Method One survey was completed by peer-MRCS teachers who delivered sessions in 2020–2021. The second survey was completed by prospective MRCS OSCE candidates. Responses were anonymised. Results 7 / 8 peer teachers and 13/17 prospective learners completed the surveys. 6/7 peer-teachers had previous experience and prior teacher-training ranged from day courses to university degrees. All peer-teachers felt that peer-MRCS teaching enabled them to refresh their anatomy knowledge. 0/7 peer-teachers preferred to deliver practical-skills teaching. Passion for teaching was identified as a motivating factor by all peer teachers. This was further supported by the general consensus (5/7) for peer teachers preferring feedback that is focused on self-development rather than conveying appreciation. Majority (12/13) of peer learners also preferred to give feedback focused on teacher development and felt they were more likely (7/13) to provide accurate feedback for peer-sessions when compared to formal teaching sessions run by the deanery. Majority of participating prospective MRCS OSCE candidates (12/13) expressed an interest in peer-MRCS teaching. Low stress environment and cost effectiveness were the top reasons why prospective peer learners preferred virtual peer MRCS teaching. Conclusions Overall peer-MRCS teaching in this cohort suggests advantages to both peer-teachers and learners with the potential to improve teaching skills and clinical knowledge among surgical trainees.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differentiating recurrence from benign posttreatment changes has clinical importance in the imaging follow-up of head and neck cancer. This study aimed to investigate the utility of normalized dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging and ADC for their differentiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 51 patients with a history of head and neck cancer who underwent follow-up dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging with DWI-ADC, of whom 25 had recurrences and 26 had benign posttreatment changes. Quantitative and semiquantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and ADC of the ROI and reference region were analyzed. Normalized dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized DWI-ADC parameters were calculated by dividing the ROI by the reference region. RESULTS Normalized plasma volume, volume transfer constant between extravascular extracellular space and blood plasma per minute (K trans), area under the curve, and wash-in were significantly higher in patients with recurrence than in those with benign posttreatment change (P = .003 to <.001). The normalized mean ADC was significantly lower in patients with recurrence than in those with benign posttreatment change (P < .001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the combination of normalized dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters with significance (normalized plasma volume, normalized extravascular extracellular space volume per unit tissue volume, normalized K trans, normalized area under the curve, and normalized wash-in) and normalized mean ADC was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.93-1). CONCLUSIONS Normalized dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters, normalized mean ADC, and their combination were effective in differentiating recurrence and benign posttreatment changes in head and neck cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) often mimics breast cancer. Presentation includes pain, palpable mass, suppuration or suspicious imaging. Widely reported in Asia and the Middle East, IGM is diagnosed after excluding specific granulomatous mastitis (SGM). Aetiology remains unknown. Lactation, prolactinaemia, ethnicity, autoimmune disease and Corynebacteria are associated. Treatment is controversial and the prevalence rising. Surgery and non-operative treatments including antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, methotrexate and observation have advocates. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 63 patients with IGM from 2008 to 2018 was undertaken focusing on birthplace, age, clinical presentation, wound cultures, imaging, treatments and outcomes. RESULTS Sixty-one of 63 patients were Hispanic; 53 were Mexican-born women aged 23-46. Clinical presentation included pain, painful mass, painless mass, suppuration and abnormal imaging. Some 31/61 ultrasound examinations and 17/33 mammograms were deemed Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) score 4 or 5. Management included antibiotics (43), incision and drainage (24), NSAIDs (29), steroids (8), lumpectomy (18) and observation (12). Some 12/20 patients with painless masses resolved with observation, 3 received NSAIDs, 2 received steroids and 3 underwent lumpectomies. Antibiotics resolved 8/43 cases, 5 needed incision and drainage, 26 received NSAIDs, 6 received steroids and 5 underwent lumpectomies. Nineteen patients had indolent disease or recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Excluding malignancy is critical, treatment challenging and recurrence common in IGM. A preponderance of patients were Mexican-born, similar to other reports from the USA. Over 50% of IGM cases had suspicious BI-RADS scores. Best management remains a challenge and ranges from observation to lumpectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Free flap reconstruction in patients with head and neck cancer carries a risk of postoperative complications, and radiologic predictive factors have been limited. The aim of this study was to assess the factors that predict free flap reconstruction failure using CT and MR perfusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS This single-center prospective study included 24 patients (mean age, 62.7 [SD, 9.0] years; 16 men) who had free flap reconstruction from January 2016 to May 2018. CT perfusion and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging with conventional CT and MR imaging were performed between 2 and 4 days after the free flap surgery, and the wound assessments within 14 days after the surgery were conducted by the surgical team. The parameters of CT perfusion and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging with conventional imaging findings and patient demographics were compared between the patients with successful free flap reconstruction and those with wound failure as appropriate. P < .05 was considered significant. RESULTS There were 19 patients with successful free flap reconstruction and no wound complications (mean age, 63.9 [SD, 9.5] years; 14 men), while 5 patients had wound failure (mean age, 58.0 [SD, 5.7] years; 2 men). Blood flow, blood volume, MTT, and time maximum intensity projection (P = .007, .007, .015, and .004, respectively) in CT perfusion, and fractional plasma volume, volume transfer constant, peak enhancement, and time to maximum enhancement (P = .006, .039, .004, and .04, respectively) in dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging were significantly different between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS CT perfusion and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging are both promising imaging techniques to predict wound complications after head and neck free flap reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prognostic factors of stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome have not been fully explored. This study aimed to assess clinical and imaging features to predict the clinical outcome of SMART syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical manifestations and imaging findings of 20 patients with SMART syndrome (median age, 48 years; 5 women) from January 2016 to January 2020 at 4 medical centers. Patient demographics and MR imaging features at the time of diagnosis were reviewed. This cohort was divided into 2 groups based on the degree of clinical improvement (completely versus incompletely recovered). The numeric and categoric variables were compared as appropriate. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences between the completely recovered group (n = 11; median age, 44 years; 2 women) and the incompletely recovered group (n = 9; median age, 55 years; 3 women) in age, months of follow-up, and the presence of steroid treatment at diagnosis (P = .028, .002, and .01, respectively). Regarding MR imaging features, there were statistically significant differences in the presence of linear subcortical WM susceptibility abnormality, restricted diffusion, and subcortical WM edematous changes in the acute SMART region (3/11 versus 8/9, P = .01; 0/11 versus 4/9, P = .026; and 2/11 versus 7/9, P = .022, respectively). Follow-up MRIs showed persistent susceptibility abnormality (11/11) and subcortical WM edematous changes (9/9), with resolution of restricted diffusion (4/4). CONCLUSIONS Age, use of steroid treatment at the diagnosis of SMART syndrome, and MR imaging findings of abnormal susceptibility signal, restricted diffusion, and subcortical WM change in the acute SMART region can be prognostic factors in SMART syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies reported that the ADC values of recurrent head and neck cancer lesions are lower than those of posttreatment changes, however, the utility of ADC to differentiate them has not been definitively summarized and established. PURPOSE Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic benefit of ADC calculated from diffusion-weighted imaging in differentiating recurrent lesions from posttreatment changes in head and neck cancer. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Scopus, and EMBASE data bases were searched for studies. STUDY SELECTION The review identified 6 prospective studies with a total of 365 patients (402 lesions) who were eligible for the meta-analysis. DATA ANALYSIS Forest plots were used to assess the mean difference in ADC values. Heterogeneity among the studies was evaluated using the Cochrane Q test and the I2 statistic. DATA SYNTHESIS Among included studies, the overall mean of ADC values of recurrent lesions was 1.03 × 10-3mm2/s and that of the posttreatment changes was 1.51 × 10-3mm2/s. The ADC value of recurrence was significantly less than that of posttreatment changes in head and neck cancer (pooled mean difference: -0.45; 95% CI, -0.59-0.32, P < .0001) with heterogeneity among studies. The threshold of ADC values between recurrent lesions and posttreatment changes was suggested to be 1.10 × 10-3mm2/s. LIMITATIONS Given the heterogeneity of the data of the study, the conclusions should be interpreted with caution. CONCLUSIONS The ADC values in recurrent head and neck cancers are lower than those of posttreatment changes, and the threshold of ADC values between them was suggested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mean ADC value of the lower Gaussian curve (ADCL) derived from the bi-Gaussian curve-fitting histogram analysis has been reported as a predictive/prognostic imaging biomarker in patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with bevacizumab; however, its systematic summary has been lacking. PURPOSE We applied a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the predictive/prognostic performance of ADCL in patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with bevacizumab. DATA SOURCES We performed a literature search using PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE. STUDY SELECTION A total of 1344 abstracts were screened, of which 83 articles were considered potentially relevant. Data were finally extracted from 6 studies including 578 patients. DATA ANALYSIS Forest plots were generated to illustrate the hazard ratios of overall survival and progression-free survival. The heterogeneity across the studies was assessed using the Cochrane Q test and I2 values. DATA SYNTHESIS The pooled hazard ratios for overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with an ADCL lower than the cutoff values were 1.89 (95% CI, 1.53-2.31) and 1.98 (95% CI, 1.54-2.55) with low heterogeneity among the studies. Subgroup analysis of the bevacizumab-free cohort showed a pooled hazard ratio for overall survival of 1.20 (95% CI, 1.08-1.34) with low heterogeneity. LIMITATIONS The conclusions are limited by the difference in the definition of recurrence among the included studies. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review with meta-analysis supports the prognostic value of ADCL in patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with bevacizumab, with a low ADCL demonstrating decreased overall survival and progression-free survival. On the other hand, the predictive role of ADCL for bevacizumab treatment was not confirmed.

Abstract
Due to enthralling applications in various fields and augmenting fundamental wisdom, π-conjugated macrocycles in general and porphyrin systems in particular are constantly explored. Subtle modifications of porphyrin structure can amend the rudimentary properties. Pursuing innovative properties provides impetus to underpin arene or pyridine moiety embedded porphyrin derivatives. There have been several reviews related to arene incorporated carbaporphyrinoids; however, recent developments of porphyrin analogues by introducing higher analogues of arenes and pyridine units are not adequately inspected. This mini-review mainly focuses on biphenyl, bipyridine, terphenyl, and mixed arene pyridine embedded porphyrin analogues and their coordination chemistry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distinguishing schwannomas from paragangliomas in the head and neck and determining succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) mutation status in paragangliomas are clinically important. We aimed to assess the clinical usefulness of DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging in differentiating these 2 types of tumors, as well as the SDH mutation status of paragangliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study from June 2016 to June 2020 included 42 patients with 15 schwannomas and 27 paragangliomas (10 SDH mutation-positive and 17 SDH mutation-negative). ADC values, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI parameters, and tumor imaging characteristics were compared between the 2 tumors and between the mutation statuses of paragangliomas as appropriate. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed to identify significant differences in these parameters. RESULTS Fractional plasma volume (P ≤ .001), rate transfer constant (P = .038), time-to-maximum enhancement (P < .001), maximum signal-enhancement ratio (P < .001) and maximum concentration of contrast agent (P < .001), velocity of enhancement (P = .002), and tumor characteristics including the presence of flow voids (P = .001) and enhancement patterns (P = .027) showed significant differences between schwannomas and paragangliomas, though there was no significant difference in ADC values. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, fractional plasma volume was identified as the most significant value for differentiation of the 2 tumor types (P = .014). ADC values were significantly higher in nonhereditary than in hereditary paragangliomas, while there was no difference in dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters show promise in differentiating head and neck schwannomas and paragangliomas, while DWI can be useful in detecting SDH mutation status in paragangliomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Head and neck paragangliomas have been reported to be associated with mutations of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme family. The aim of this study was to assess whether radiologic features could differentiate between paragangliomas in the head and neck positive and negative for the succinate dehydrogenase mutation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This single-center retrospective review from January 2015 to January 2020 included 40 patients with 48 paragangliomas (30 tumors positive for succinate dehydrogenase mutation in 23 patients and 18 tumors negative for the succinate dehydrogenase mutation in 17 patients). ADC values and tumor characteristics on CT and MR imaging were evaluated by 2 radiologists. Differences between the 2 cohorts in the diagnostic performance of ADC and normalized ADC (ratio to ADC in the medulla oblongata) values were evaluated using the independent samples t test. P < .05 was considered significant. RESULTS ADCmean (1.07 [SD, 0.25]/1.04 [SD, 0.12] versus 1.31 [SD, 0.16]/1.30 [SD, 0.20]× 10-3 mm2/s by radiologists 1 and 2; P < .001), ADCmaximum (1.49 [SD, 0.27]/1.49 [SD, 0.20] versus 2.01 [SD, 0.16]/1.87 [SD, 0.20] × 10-3 mm2/s; P < .001), normalized ADCmean (1.40 [SD, 0.33]/1.37 [SD, 0.16] versus 1.73 [SD, 0.22]/1.74 [SD, 0.27]; P < .001), and normalized ADCmaximum (1.95 [SD, 0.37]/1.97 [SD, 0.27] versus 2.64 [SD, 0.22]/2.48 [SD, 0.28]; P < .001) were significantly lower in succinate dehydrogenase mutation-positive than mutation-negative tumors. ADCminimum, normalized ADCminimum, and tumor characteristics were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS ADC is a promising imaging biomarker that can help differentiate succinate dehydrogenase mutation-positive from mutation-negative paragangliomas in the head and neck.

Abstract
Airlines have introduced a back-to-front boarding process in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is motivated by the desire to reduce passengers' likelihood of passing close to seated passengers when they take their seats. However, our prior work on the risk of Ebola spread in aeroplanes suggested that the driving force for increased exposure to infection transmission risk is the clustering of passengers while waiting for others to stow their luggage and take their seats. In this work, we examine whether the new boarding processes lead to increased or decreased risk of infection spread. We also study the reasons behind the risk differences associated with different boarding processes. We accomplish this by simulating the new boarding processes using pedestrian dynamics and compare them against alternatives. Our results show that back-to-front boarding roughly doubles the infection exposure compared with random boarding. It also increases exposure by around 50% compared to a typical boarding process prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. While keeping middle seats empty yields a substantial reduction in exposure, our results show that the different boarding processes have similar relative strengths in this case as with middle seats occupied. We show that the increased exposure arises from the proximity between passengers moving in the aisle and while seated. Such exposure can be reduced significantly by prohibiting the use of overhead bins to stow luggage. Our results suggest that the new boarding procedures increase the risk of exposure to COVID-19 compared with prior ones and are substantially worse than a random boarding process.

Abstract
One dimensional semiconductor systems with strong spin-orbit interaction are both of fundamental interest and have potential applications to topological quantum computing. Applying a magnetic field can open a spin gap, a pre-requisite for Majorana zero modes. The spin gap is predicted to manifest as a field dependent dip on the first 1D conductance plateau. However, disorder and interaction effects make identifying spin gap signatures challenging. Here we study experimentally and numerically the 1D channel in a series of low disorder p-type GaAs quantum point contacts, where spin-orbit and hole-hole interactions are strong. We demonstrate an alternative signature for probing spin gaps, which is insensitive to disorder, based on the linear and non-linear response to the orientation of the applied magnetic field, and extract a spin-orbit gap ΔE ≈ 500 μeV. This approach could enable one-dimensional hole systems to be developed as a scalable and reproducible platform for topological quantum applications. In one-dimensional systems, the combination of a strong spin-orbit interaction and an applied magnetic field can give rise to a spin-gap, however experimental identification is difficult. Here, the authors present new signatures for the spin-gap, and verify these experimentally in hole QPCs.

Abstract
An unprecedented formation of a meso-fused β-β' carbaporphyrin dimer and its monomer with a keto group was described. These analogues were synthesized from carbatriphyrin(3.1.1.) by a metal assisted strategy using PtCl2 salt in a single step without any prefunctionalized precursors. Upon dimerization, the monomeric ligand with a dianionic core is transformed into a dimeric structure with unique trianionic cores.
