Abstract
BACKGROUND Some myopathies can lead to dropped head or bent spine syndrome (DH/BS). The significance of this symptom has not been studied in inflammatory myopathies (IM). OBJECTIVES To assess the significance of DH/BS in patients with IM. METHODS Practitioners from five IM networks were invited to report patients with IM suffering from DH/BS (without other known cause than IM). IM patients without DH/BS, randomly selected in each participating centre, were included as controls at a ratio of 2 to 1. RESULTS 49 DH/BS-IM patients (DH: 57.1%, BS: 42.9%) were compared with 98 control-IM patients. DH/BS-IM patients were older (65 years vs 53 years, p<0.0001) and the diagnosis of IM was delayed (6 months vs 3 months, p=0.009). Weakness prevailing in the upper limbs (42.9% vs 15.3%), dysphagia (57.1% vs 25.5%), muscle atrophy (65.3% vs 34.7%), weight loss (61.2% vs 23.5%) and loss of the ability to walk (24.5% vs 5.1%) were hallmarks of DH/BS-IM (p≤0.0005), for which the patients more frequently received intravenous immunoglobulins (65.3% vs 34.7%, p=0.0004). Moreover, DH/BS-IM patients frequently featured signs and/or complications of systemic sclerosis (SSc), fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology criteria for this disease in 40.8% of the cases (vs 5.1%, p<0.0001). Distribution of the myopathy, its severity and its association with SSc were independently associated with DH/BS (p<0.05). Mortality was higher in the DH/BS-IM patients and loss of walking ability was independently associated with survival (p<0.05). CONCLUSION In IM patients, DH/BS is a marker of severity and is associated with SSc (scleromyositis).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with bone and joint infection (BJI) associated with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (MSSAB) treated with early oral switch to oral antibiotics (before day 14) versus later or no switch. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included all cases reported between January 2016 and December 2021 in the University Hospital of Reims. RESULTS Among 79 patients with BJI associated with MSSAB, 50.6% had an early switch to oral antibiotics, with median duration of intravenous antibiotics of 9 (IQR 6-11) days. The overall cure rate was 81% with follow-up of 6 months, and was 85.7% after excluding the 9 patients whose death was not related to BJI infection. Failure to control BJI did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION An early (before day 14) switch to oral antibiotics may be a safe therapeutic option in BJI associated with MSSAB.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions of broad-spectrum fluoroquinolones or rifampicin are not uncommon during osteomyelitis and orthopaedic implant infections (OOII). Thus, we made an overview (i) of the prescription of fusidic acid (FA) and (ii) of FA susceptibility of Staphylococcus sp. and Cutibacterium sp. strains isolated from bone samples. All prescriptions of FA and all bone samples with positive culture for Staphylococcus sp. or Cutibacterium sp. (Reims University Hospital June 2017-May 2021) were included. All Staphylococcus aureus strains were considered as significant, whereas Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Cutibacterium spp. strains were not if these strains grew only on one sole sample. The antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus sp. strains and the susceptibility to FA of Cutibacterium sp. strains had been determined using disk diffusion methods, as described for Staphylococcus sp. in the CASFM/EUCAST guidelines. The mean FA consumption was 0.6 daily defined doses/1000 patient days. FA was prescribed for OOII due to Staphylococcus sp. and Cutibacterium sp. in 24 and 2 cases, respectively. Among 401 Staphylococcus sp. strains, there were 254 S. aureus (63.3%), 84 methicillin-resistant (20.9%) and 333 FA-susceptible (83.0%) strains. S. aureus and methicillin-sensitive strains were more likely to be susceptible to FA (p < 0.001). Among 39 Cutibacterium sp. strains, the FA inhibition zone diameter geometric mean was 28.6 mm (24-35 mm), suggesting that all these strains could be considered as susceptible to FA. These data suggested that FA could be more frequently used in OOII due to Staphylococcus sp. and Cutibacterium sp., subject to the absence of other resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Background Patients living with HIV (PLHIV) are prone to invasive pneumococcal disease. The 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) is currently recommended for all PLHIV, followed in most guidelines by a 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine. Data are scarce concerning the immunological efficacy of PCV13 among PLHIV. Objective To assess the immunological response at one month, and the immunological protection at 1-, 6-, and 12 months in PLHIV with a CD4 cell count above 200 cells/µl after a single dose of PCV13, as measured by both ELISA and opsonophagocytic assay (OPA). Methods PLHIV with CD4 cell count >200 cells/µl were included. Specific IgG serum concentrations for eight serotypes by ELISA and seven serotypes by OPA were measured at baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12 months after the PCV13 vaccination. Global response was defined as a two-fold increase from baseline of specific IgG antibody levels (μg/ml) assayed by ELISA or as a four-fold increase in OPA titer from baseline, for at least five serotypes targeted by PCV13. Global protection was defined as an IgG-concentration ≥1 µg/ml by ELISA or as an opsonization titer ≥LLOQ by OPA for at least five tested serotypes targeted by PCV13. Factors associated with global response and global protection were assessed using logistic regression. Results Of the 38 PLHIV included, 57.9% and 63.2% were global responders, 92.1% and 78.9% were globally protected at one month, and 64.7% and 55.9% were still protected at 12 months, by ELISA and OPA respectively. A CD4/CD8 ratio of >0.8 was significantly associated with a better global response by OPA (OR=6.11, p=0.02), and a CD4 nadir <200 was significantly associated with a poorer global response by ELISA (OR=0.22, p=0.04). A CD4 cell count nadir <200 and age over 50 years were associated with poorer global protection by OPA at M1 (OR=0.18, p=0.04) and M12 (OR= 0.15, p=0.02), respectively. Plasma HIV RNA viral load <40 copies/ml was significantly associated with a better global protection at M1 by ELISA and OPA (OR=21.33, p=0.025 and OR=8.40, p=0.04) Conclusion Vaccination with PCV13 in these patients induced immunological response and protection at one month. At one year, more than half of patients were still immunologically protected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are emerging eosinophil-related considerations concerning viral infections. The role of eosinophils has poorly been evaluated during Hantavirus infection. METHODS The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of eosinophilia (defined as an eosinophil count above 500 cells/mm3) during haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in a large cohort of patients, and to identify factors associated with eosinophilia. RESULTS Among 387 patients hospitalized for HFRS, 98 (25.3%) had eosinophilia. By univariate analysis, eosinophilia was significantly associated with more severe thrombocytopenia, high C-reactive protein level, white blood cell count and neutrophil count and lower nephrotoxic drug intake. As there was a collinearity between white blood cell count and C-reactive protein level, only C-reactive protein level with platelet count and nephrotoxic drug intake were entered in the multivariable analysis. Elevated C-reactive protein concentrations remained independently associated with eosinophilia. CONCLUSION Eosinophilia during HFRS affects one quarter of patients, and supports the role of eosinophils in antiviral immunity against hantavirus infection.

Abstract
2D materials are considered for applications that require strong light-matter interaction because of the apparently giant oscillator strength of the exciton transitions in the absorbance spectrum. Nevertheless, the effective oscillator strengths of these transitions have been scarcely reported, nor is there a consistent interpretation of the obtained values. Here, we analyse the transition dipole moment and the ensuing oscillator strength of the exciton transition in 2D CdSe nanoplatelets by means of the optically induced Stark effect (OSE). Intriguingly, we find that the exciton absorption line reacts to a high intensity optical field as a transition with an oscillator strength FStark that is 50 times smaller than expected based on the linear absorption coefficient. We propose that the pronounced exciton absorption line should be seen as the sum of multiple, low oscillator strength transitions, rather than a single high oscillator strength one, a feat we assign to strong exciton center-of-mass localization. Within the quantum mechanical description of excitons, this 50-fold difference between both oscillator strengths corresponds to the ratio between the coherence area of the exciton's center of mass and the total area, which yields a coherence area of a mere 6.1 nm2. Since we find that the coherence area increases with reducing temperature, we conclude that thermal effects, related to lattice vibrations, contribute to exciton localization. In further support of this localization model, we show that FStark is independent of the nanoplatelet area, correctly predicts the radiative lifetime, and lines up for strongly confined quantum dot systems.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial therapy outcomes of bone and joint infections (BJI) caused by Clostridium perfringens. We investigated remission of symptoms and the absence of relapse or reinfection during follow-up. Among the 8 patients with C. perfringens BJI, the type of infection was early prosthesis infection (n = 2), osteosynthetic device infection (n = 4), and chronic osteomyeletis (n = 2). Clindamycin-rifampicin combination was given in 4 cases and metronidazole in 4 cases. The overall success rate was 87.5%. Among the 7 patients who completed antibiotic treatment, the success rate was 100%. The clindamycin-rifampicin combination appeared to be effective in patients with C. perfringens BJI.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of clindamycin combination antibiotherapy for the treatment of erythromycin-resistant, lincosamide-susceptible bone and joint infections caused by Staphylococcus spp. Between January 2010 and September 2018, 46 patients with Staphylococcus spp. erythromycin-resistant, lincosamide-susceptible bone and joint infections were treated with clindamycin combination antibiotherapy for 6 to 12 weeks. The type of infection was prosthetic in 20 cases (43.5%), osteosynthetic device in 15 cases (32.6%), chronic osteomyelitis in 7 cases (15.2%), and arthritis in 4 cases (8.7%). The cure rate was 67.4% by intention to treat and 84.6% per protocol, with a median follow-up of 398 days (range 86-843). Only 2 relapses (5.1%) were observed in patients with chronic osteomyelitis; an acquired resistance to lincosamides developed in 1 case. Clindamycin combination therapy appears to be effective for the treatment of bone and joint infection caused by erythromycin-resistant, lincosamide-susceptible Staphylococcus spp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short duration of post-amputation antibiotic therapy (2-5 days) is recommended in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis after total resection of infected bone tissue. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of short-duration post-amputation antibiotic therapy in diabetic patients with total resection of osteomyelitis assessed by sterile bone bacteriological samples obtained from the resection margin. METHODS The endpoint was the absence of osteomyelitis relapse at 6 months, defined as recurrence of osteomyelitis with the need for surgical revision and/or new bone antibiotic therapy. RESULTS Among 15 patients included, 12 (80%) were cured without recurrence of osteomyelitis at 6 months, with a mean duration of antibiotic therapy of 8.3±5.9 days post surgery. This result is comparable to literature data, while all of them reported longer duration of antibiotic therapy and/or shorter follow-up. CONCLUSION Short duration of post-amputation antibiotic therapy in diabetic patients with sterile bacteriological samples obtained from resection margin seems effective.

Abstract
Although the frequency of bone and joint infections caused by Enterobacter spp. is increasing, studies regarding the optimal antibiotic therapy are scarce. The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical outcomes and safety of a fluoroquinolone-cotrimoxazole combination for the treatment of bone and joint infections caused by Enterobacter cloacae. Between 2010 and 2017, 30 patients with bone and joint infections caused by E. cloacae were treated with a fluoroquinolone-cotrimoxazole combination for 8-12 weeks. There were 26 cases (87%) of infection of an internal fixation device, two cases (6.6%) of pseudarthrosis with chronic osteomyelitis, and two cases (6.6%) of infection of knee and ankle prosthetic devices. The cure rate of the fluoroquinolone-cotrimoxazole combination was 80% by intention-to-treat analysis, with a mean follow-up of 29.3 ± 19.1 months. The fluoroquinolone-cotrimoxazole combination for 8-12 weeks is effective for the treatment of bone and joint infections caused by E. cloacae.

Abstract
Idelalisib is a potent and selective inhibitor of the PI3Kδ approved since September 2014 for the treatment of several types of B cell malignancies. Pulmonary adverse events related to idelalisib are an emerging serious adverse event. We report here a single centre cohort of 16 patients who initiated idelalisib as routine treatment. Five of them experienced severe pulmonary adverse events related to idelalisib therapy. Comparison of the 5 patients with severe pulmonary events versus the 11 patients without identified no predisposing factors. Severe pulmonary adverse events were related to infectious pneumonia and/or to a drug-induced pneumonitis. The mechanisms of idelalisib-associated pneumonitis are unknown but consistent with the drug-induced pneumonitis described with mTOR inhibitors. Indeed, by inhibiting PI3Kδ, idelalisib also inhibits the mTOR pathway. Clinicians should be aware that any idelalisib-treated patient who presents with pulmonary symptoms should be evaluated for pneumonitis. Corticosteroids should be considered in addition to anti-infective therapy in case of severe pneumonitis or persistent pulmonary symptoms despite adequate antibiotic therapy.

Abstract
RATIONALE Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), like other neutrophilic dermatosis, may be associated with a variety of systemic disorders including inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and hematologic disorders. Conversely, the association between PG and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has rarely been reported. PATIENT CONCERNS We report here 2 cases of this association. DIAGNOSES The first case involves a 32-year-old woman who developed, 1 year after SLE diagnosis, 3 painful nodular lesions of PG on her face, and cervical area. The second case was observed in a 37-year-old woman referred for ulcerative nodular papules of PG on her legs, whereas she had been diagnosed with SLE 10 years before. SLE was inactive in the first case, whereas PG occurred during a lupus flare up in the second one. INTERVENTIONS We found 23 previous cases of SLE and PG in the literature with most cases (12/20) occurring during a lupus flare. OUTCOMES Although rare, this association may be supported by common innate immunity dysregulation and abnormal neutrophil activation. LESSONS PG and other neutrophilic diseases reported in patients with SLE may be added to the large clinical spectrum of cutaneous lesions observed in SLE.

Abstract
We conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients with serologically proven nephropathia epidemica (NE) living in Ardennes Department, France, during 2000-2014 to develop a bioclinical test predictive of severe disease. Among 205 patients, 45 (22.0%) had severe NE. We found the following factors predictive of severe NE: nephrotoxic drug exposure (p = 0.005, point value 10); visual disorders (p = 0.02, point value 8); microscopic or macroscopic hematuria (p = 0.04, point value 7); leukocyte count >10 × 109 cells/L (p = 0.01, point value 9); and thrombocytopenia <90 × 109/L (p = 0.003, point value 11). When point values for each factor were summed, we found a score of <10 identified low-risk patients (3.3% had severe disease), and a score >20 identified high-risk patients (45.3% had severe disease). If validated in future studies, this test could be used to stratify patients by severity in research studies and in clinical practice.

Abstract
Delayed onset haemolysis occurring post-artesunate and post-artemisinin combination therapy is secondary to delayed clearance of infected erythrocytes spared by pitting during treatment. We report a case of severe post-treatment delayed haemolytic anaemia with a positive direct antiglobulin test and a positive response to corticosteroid therapy, suggesting an associated immune mechanism.

Abstract
Geophagy, or the ingestion of earth or clay, is widespread among women of Sub-Saharan African, Caribbean or French Guiana origin. Little is known about this practice among HIV patients native of these countries and who are followed-up in France. The aims of this study were to determine (i) the prevalence and factors associated with geophagy among HIV patients native of these countries, (ii) patients' knowledge about the harmful effects of geophagy, and (iii) the association of geophagy with iron deficiency, or a history of anemia or constipation. Among the 119 included patients, current geophagy and previous geophagy were present in 11/119 (9%) and 47/119 (40%) patients, respectively. Female gender was the only factor associated with consumption (OR 5.37; 95% CI 2.07-15.92 p = 0.001). Awareness about the risk of iron-deficient anemia was low (24%). Preventive education should be integrated into the care of HIV adults from countries in which geophagy is a culture and widely accepted practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To validate the Fautrel classification criteria for adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) and to compare the discriminative performance to that of the Yamaguchi criteria. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 426 patients who had serum ferritin level and percentage glycosylated ferritin assayed at the biochemistry laboratory of Bichat Hospital. Medical data were extracted by use of a standardized form. All clinical, biological, and imaging features were collected, as well, evidence favoring an alternative diagnosis, specifically symptoms suggestive of other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) or active infections. Patients were classified as AOSD patients or controls according to a predefined procedure, including consultation with a multidisciplinary expert group. Algorithms corresponding to the Fautrel and Yamaguchi classification criteria were applied for each patient. RESULTS In all, 54 AOSD and 278 control patients were included. For the Fautrel criteria, the sensitivity was 87.0%, specificity 97.8%, and positive and negative predictive values 88.7% and 97.5%, respectively. For the standard Yamaguchi set-without strict application of exclusion criteria-the sensitivity was 96.3%, specificity 98.9%, and positive and negative predictive values 94.5% and 99.3%, respectively. If we applied a stricter definition of exclusion criteria, the sensitivity of the Yamaguchi set decreased to 31.5%. As wall, 37 AOSD diagnoses were missed. CONCLUSION This study validates the Fautrel classification criteria with a cohort independent of that used for the original publication. This criteria set demonstrates good sensitivity and specificity, overcomes exclusion criteria, and includes glycosylated ferritin level. It also confirms the high discriminative power of the Yamaguchi criteria, albeit substantially affected by how exclusion criteria are interpreted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) opened a new era in HCV treatment. We report the impact of HCV treatment in French HIV-HCV coinfected patients. METHODS All HIV-HCV patients from the Dat'AIDS cohort followed between 2012 and 2015 were included. HCV status was defined yearly as naive, spontaneous cure, sustained virological response (SVR12), failure or reinfection. RESULTS Among 32,945 HIV-infected patients, 15.2% were positive for anti-HCV antibodies. From 2012 to 2015, HCV incidence rate increased from 0.35%PY to 0.69%PY in MSM, while median incidence was 0.08%PY in other patients. Median reinfection rate was 2.56%PY in MSM and 0.22%PY in other patients. HCV treatment initiation rate rose from 8.2% in 2012 to 29.6% (48.0% in pre-treated patients vs 22.6% in naïve patients). SVR12 rate increased from 68.7% to 95.2%. By the end of 2015, 62.7% of the patients were cured either spontaneously or following SVR. CONCLUSIONS HCV treatment dramatically increased in HIV-HCV patients in France from 2012 to 2015 resulting in HCV cure in nearly two-thirds of the patients in this cohort. Combined with a declining HCV prevalence, the prevalence of active HCV infection among HIV patients will drastically decrease in the forthcoming years.

Abstract
We report two patients who had taken levothyroxine at the same dose for several years and who had stable thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, and who developed clinical and biological hyperthyroidism following switch from ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors (PIs) to dolutegravir-based HAART. Levothyroxine is metabolized by deiodination and glucuronidation and the induction of glucuronidation by ritonavir leads to an increased elimination of levothyroxine and a necessity of higher daily doses. Patients who switch from ritonavir-boosted PIs to antiretroviral drugs-based HAART with minimal drug-interaction such as dolutegravir, may require an adjustment in their dose of levothyroxine in order to prevent hyperthyroidism due to impaired elimination of levothyroxine without ritonavir.

Abstract
We realize simplified-tomography experiments on irregular rough particles using interferometric out-of-focus imaging. Using two angles of view, we determine the global 3D-shape, the dimensions, and the 3D-orientation of irregular rough particles whose morphologies belong to families such as sticks, plates, and crosses.

Abstract
We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of 15.8±0.7(stat)±6.7(syst) MeV for cosmic rays with an energy of 1 EeV arriving perpendicularly to a geomagnetic field of 0.24 G, scaling quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy. A comparison with predictions from state-of-the-art first-principles calculations shows agreement with our measurement. The radiation energy provides direct access to the calorimetric energy in the electromagnetic cascade of extensive air showers. Comparison with our result thus allows the direct calibration of any cosmic-ray radio detector against the well-established energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory.

Abstract
A multi-exposure digital in-line hologram of a particle field is recorded by two successive pulses of different wavelengths. During the reconstruction step, each recording can be independently analyzed by selecting a given wavelength. This procedure enables avoiding the superimposition of particle images that may be close to each other.

Abstract
We present a system to characterize a triphasic flow in a 3D volume (air bubbles and solid irregular particles in water) using only one CCD sensor. A cylindrical interferometric out-of-focus imaging setup is used to determine simultaneously the 3D position and the size of bubbles and irregular sand particles in a flow. The 3D position of the particles is deduced from the ellipticity of their out-of-focus image. The size of bubbles is deduced from analysis of interference fringes. The characteristics of irregular sand particles are obtained from analysis of their speckle-like pattern. Experiments are confirmed by simulations.

Abstract
Energy-dependent patterns in the arrival directions of cosmic rays are searched for using data of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We investigate local regions around the highest-energy cosmic rays with [Formula: see text] eV by analyzing cosmic rays with energies above [Formula: see text] eV arriving within an angular separation of approximately 15[Formula: see text]. We characterize the energy distributions inside these regions by two independent methods, one searching for angular dependence of energy-energy correlations and one searching for collimation of energy along the local system of principal axes of the energy distribution. No significant patterns are found with this analysis. The comparison of these measurements with astrophysical scenarios can therefore be used to obtain constraints on related model parameters such as strength of cosmic-ray deflection and density of point sources.

Abstract
One advantage of digital in-line holography is the ability for a user to know the 3-D location of a moving particle recorded at a given time. When the time exposure is much larger than the time required for grabbing the particle image at a given location, the diffraction pattern is spread along the trajectory of this particle. This can be seen as a convolution between the diffraction pattern and a blurring function resulting from the motion of the particle during the camera exposure. This article shows that the reconstruction of holograms recorded under such conditions exhibit traces that could be processed for extracting 3D trajectories.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the proton-air cross section for particle production at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon of 57 TeV. This is derived from the distribution of the depths of shower maxima observed with the Pierre Auger Observatory: systematic uncertainties are studied in detail. Analyzing the tail of the distribution of the shower maxima, a proton-air cross section of [505±22(stat)(-36)(+28)(syst)] mb is found.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced mucinous epithelial ovarian carcinoma (mEOC) has been associated with a worse prognosis than the more common serous epithelial ovarian carcinomas (sEOC), but it remains unclear whether this observation reflects a more aggressive clinical presentation and/or chemoresistance. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from four randomized phase III and one phase II advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) first-line clinical trials were retrospectively collected, yielding 1118 patients with advanced EOC (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages IIB-IV), 85% of whom were treated with paclitaxel (Taxol)-carboplatin-based chemotherapy. RESULTS Based on 786 patients with sEOC and 54 (5%) with mEOC, peritoneal carcinomatosis were more limited in mEOC, which was more frequently stages IIB-IIIB (32% versus 19%, P = 0.001) and had more frequently macroscopic complete resection after initial surgery (50% of stages II-III versus 30%, P = 0.02). In contrast, visceral metastases (stage IV) were more frequent in mEOC (30% versus 15%, P = 0.004). mEOC had a lower response rate to carboplatin-paclitaxel, and shorter progression-free and overall survival rates, for both stage IV and optimally debulked stages II-III patients. CONCLUSIONS Advanced mEOC appears to be highly chemoresistant and complete resection of peritoneal metastases is unable to reverse its poor prognosis. New therapeutic options are needed.

Abstract
We describe the measurement of the depth of maximum, X{max}, of the longitudinal development of air showers induced by cosmic rays. Almost 4000 events above 10;{18} eV observed by the fluorescence detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory in coincidence with at least one surface detector station are selected for the analysis. The average shower maximum was found to evolve with energy at a rate of (106{-21}{+35}) g/cm{2}/decade below 10{18.24+/-0.05} eV, and (24+/-3) g/cm{2}/decade above this energy. The measured shower-to-shower fluctuations decrease from about 55 to 26 g/cm{2}. The interpretation of these results in terms of the cosmic ray mass composition is briefly discussed.

Abstract
5572 Background: M-AEOC have been consistently associated with worse prognosis than the most common serous (S) histologic subtype; however it is unclear if this observation is related to more aggressive clinical presentation and/or chemoresistance behaviour. Methods: Data from four randomized phase III and one phase II AEOC first-line clinical trials were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Study selection criteria included: completed study, platinum-based chemotherapy and stage IIB to IV AEOC patients (pts). Results: Data on 1118 pts with advanced AEOC were analysed, of whom 94% were treated with paclitaxel-carboplatin-based CT. 786 pts had S-AEOC and 54 pts M-AEOC (5%). Peritoneal metastasis (mets) appeared more limited in M- than in S-AEOC pts since stages IIB-IIIB were more frequent (31% versus 19%, p = 0.001) and complete resection more frequently obtained (45% of stage II-III pts versus 29%, p = 0.06) in M-AEOC. Extra-peritoneal mets (stage IV) were more frequent in M- than in S-AEOC pts (30% versus 15%, p = 0.004), specially liver mets (44% of stage IV pts versus 23%, p = 0.06). Progressive disease during CT was observed in 40% of pts with stage IV M-AEOC. Progression free survival (PFS) was worse in M- than in S-AEOC pts both in stage IV (1y PFS: 15% versus 51%, p = 0.02) and in stage III with optimal resection (2y PFS: 42% versus 66%, p = 0.05). Conclusions: Compared to S-AEOC, M-AEOC is characterized by more limited peritoneal carcinomatosis but more frequent liver mets. M-AEOC appears to be a highly chemoresistant disease and complete resection of peritoneal mets is unable to reverse its adverse prognosis. New therapeutics options are needed. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
