Transverse drag of slow light in moving atomic vapor. OPTICS LETTERS 2020; 45:3431-3434.

Abstract
The Fresnel-Fizeau effect of transverse drag, in which the trajectory of a light beam changes due to the transverse motion of the optical medium, is usually extremely small and hard to detect. We observe transverse drag in a moving hot-vapor cell, utilizing slow light due to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The drag effect is enhanced by a factor 3.6×105, corresponding to the ratio between the light speed in vacuum and the group velocity under EIT conditions. We study the contribution of the thermal atomic motion, which is much faster than the mean medium velocity, and identify the regime where its effect on the transverse drag is negligible.

Abstract
The availability of direct-acting antiviral agents for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has resulted in a profound shift in the approach to the management of this infection. These changes have affected the practice of solid organ transplantation by altering the framework by which patients with end-stage organ disease are managed and receive organ transplants. The high level of safety and efficacy of these medications in patients with chronic HCV infection provides the opportunity to explore their use in the setting of transplanting organs from HCV-viremic patients into non-HCV-viremic recipients. Because these organs are frequently discarded and typically come from younger donors, this approach has the potential to save lives on the solid organ transplant waitlist. Therefore, an urgent need exists for prospective research protocols that study the risk versus benefit of using organs for hepatitis C-infected donors. In response to this rapidly changing practice and the need for scientific study and consensus, the American Society of Transplantation convened a meeting of experts to review current data and develop the framework for the study of using HCV viremic organs in solid organ transplantation.

Abstract P4-20-09: Diagnosing cognitive impairment (“chemo brain”) in breast cancer survivors. Cancer Res 2017.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Cognitive complaints (“chemo brain”) are reported frequently after breast cancer treatment but little is known about its incidence and causes. Before we can intervene we need to be able to diagnose it properly. Mini Mental state examination (MMSE) can detect advanced Alzheimer's but won't help in detecting mild cognitive disturbances. We used Montreal Cognitive Assessment for Telephone (MoCA-T) and full scale Montreal Cognitive Assessment for Telephone (MoCA) to diagnose mild cognitive impairments in patients having normal MMSE.
Methods:
20 breast cancer survivors aged 50 years or older completed MoCA-T and MoCA, a year after they completed their treatment for breast cancer, describing the impact of their treatment regimen on their short term memory and ability to think and concentrate. On Day 5, they underwent a standardized laboratory protocol that assessed both behavioral and electroencephalographic (EEG) indicators of memory consolidation.
Results:
Patient characteristics:
20 postmenopausal breast cancer survivors aged 50 or above participated in the study a year after they completed their therapy. We are reporting preliminary results of 10 patients. Patients had stage I-III disease (stage I – One patient, Stage II – five patients, and stage III- four patients). All of them received various chemo regimens e.g. Cytoxan, methotrexate, 5-FU (CMF), Taxol, Trastuzumab (TH), Adriamycin (AC), taxotere, carboplatin (TCH). 8/10 patients received adjuvant radiation. 1/10 patient underwent reconstruction later. 7/10 patients received hormonal therapy with aromatase inhibitors.
Results of MoCA –T and MoCA:
MoCA-T, tests attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation. Possible scores range from 0-22 and scores <18 indicate mild cognitive impairment. The MoCA has possible scores from 0-30 and a score >26 is normal but <19 is indicative of cognitive impairment.
5/10 patients had abnormal MoCA and 3/10 patients had impaired MoCA-T signifying that almost 50%patients develop mild cognitive impairment after breast cancer treatment. During memory consolidation, EEG contained less theta and frequent bursts of alpha waves which is commonly seen in patients with neuropathic pain and insomnia.

Conclusions:
The study signifies that mild cognitive impairment from breast cancer treatment (or “chemo brain”) was frequently reported and MoCA-T and MoCA tests were able to show even mild cognitive impairment in these patients. We are compiling our full data for EEG but the early results show that the patients had less theta but had frequent bursts of alpha waves, a pattern seen commonly in patients with insomnia and neuropathic pain. They retain fewer items and take more time responding to items as compared to normal people. We need more studies to diagnose and treat mild cognitive impairment (“chemo brain”) in breast survivors as most of these patients are still working and can be a valuable part of the community.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We compared the effectiveness of diabetes-focused messaging strategies at increasing enrolment in a healthy food programme among adults with diabetes. METHODS Vitality is a multifaceted wellness benefit available to members of Discovery Health, a South Africa-based health insurer. One of the largest Vitality programmes is HealthyFood (HF), an incentive-based programme designed to encourage healthier diets by providing up to 25% cashback on healthy food purchases. We randomised adults with type 2 diabetes to 1 of 5 arms: (1) control, (2) a diabetes-specific message, (3) a message with a recommendation of HF written from the perspective of a HF member with diabetes, (4) a message containing a physician's recommendation of HF, or (5) the diabetes-specific message from arm 2 paired with an 'enhanced active choice'(EAC). In an EAC, readers are asked to make an immediate choice (in this case, to enrol or not enrol); the pros and cons associated with the preferred and non-preferred options are highlighted. HF enrolment was assessed 1 month following the first emailed message. RESULTS We randomised 3906 members. After excluding those who enrolled in HF or departed from the Vitality programme before the first intervention email, 3665 (94%) were included in a modified intent-to-treat analysis. All 4 experimental arms had significantly higher HF enrolment rates compared with control (p<0.0001 for all comparisons). When comparing experimental arms, the diabetes-specific message with the EAC had a significantly higher enrolment rate (12.6%) than the diabetes-specific message alone (7.6%, p=0.0016). CONCLUSIONS Messages focused on diabetes were effective at increasing enrolment in a healthy food programme. The addition of a framed active choice to a message significantly raised enrolment rates in this population. These findings suggest that simple, low-cost interventions can enhance enrolment in health promoting programmes and also be pragmatically tested within those programmes. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02462057.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD8 T-cell counts remain elevated in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection even after long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART), which is associated with an increased risk of non-AIDS-related events. We assessed the impact of ART initiation in early versus chronic HIV infection on trajectories of CD8 cell counts over time. METHODS Of 280 individuals enrolled during primary HIV infection (PHI), 251 were followed up for 24 months; 84 started ART before 6 months of infection (eART), 49 started between 6 and 24 months, and 118 remained untreated. Plasma HIV viral load (VL), CD4 and CD8 cell counts were assessed at each study visit. CD8 counts were also examined in 182 age-matched HIV-infected individuals who started ART during chronic infection and maintained undetectable plasma VL for ≥5 years. RESULTS At PHI baseline, higher CD8 cell counts were associated with more recent infection (P = .02), higher CD4 cell counts (P < .001), and higher VL (P < .001). The CD8 count in the eART group decreased from 797 to 588 cells/µL over 24 months (P < .001), to a level lower than that in untreated PHI (834 cells/µL; P = .004) or in long-term-treated patients with chronic HIV infection (743 cells/µL; P = .047). More prominent CD4 T-cell recovery was observed in the eART group than in the delayed ART group. CONCLUSIONS ART initiated in early HIV infection is associated with improved resolution of CD8 T-cell elevation compared with long-term ART initiated in chronic infection. Early ART may help reduce the risk of non-AIDS-related events by alleviating this elevation.
