Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with bipolar depression often experience functional impairment that interferes with recovery. These analyses examined the effects of cariprazine on functional outcomes in patients with bipolar I disorder. METHODS Prespecified analyses of data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pivotal trial of cariprazine in bipolar I depression (NCT01396447) evaluated mean changes from baseline to week 8 in Functional Assessment Short Test (FAST) total score. Post hoc analyses with no adjustment for multiplicity evaluated FAST subscale scores, functional recovery and remission (FAST total score ≤11 and ≤20, respectively), and 30% or 50% improvement from baseline. RESULTS There were 393 patients with bipolar I disorder (placebo = 132; cariprazine: 1.5 mg/d = 135, 3 mg/d = 126) in the FAST analysis population. Statistically significant differences were noted for cariprazine 1.5 mg/d versus placebo in mean change from baseline in FAST total score (p<.01) and on 5 of 6 subscale scores (p<.05); cariprazine 3 mg/d was significantly different than placebo on the Interpersonal Relationship subscale (p<.05). Rates of functional remission and recovery, and ≥30% or ≥50% improvement were significantly greater for cariprazine 1.5 mg/d versus placebo (p<.05 all); the percentage of patients with ≥30% improvement was significantly different for cariprazine 3 mg/d versus placebo (p<.05). CONCLUSION At week 8, statistically significant improvements in FAST outcomes were observed for cariprazine versus placebo in patients with bipolar I depression; more consistent results were noted for 1.5 mg/d than 3 mg/d. In addition to improving bipolar depression symptoms, these results suggest that cariprazine may improve functional outcomes.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to explore various allometric scaling models for dietary nutrients to improve translational validity between preclinical experimental rodent models and humans, focusing on polyunsaturated fats. Currently, there is no authoritative document that provides standardized guidelines for which dietary designs can be based on to improve translational fidelity between species. This paper reviews the challenges of using a rodent model, the major allometric scaling models, the use of these mathematical models to extrapolate human equivalent doses, and then tests one of these models using data generated in mice, with comparisons of data generated in human clinical trials. Mice were fed diets containing micro- and macronutrient compositions that approximated the US diet based on energy distribution and were then supplemented with increasing levels of various n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids at human equivalent doses. Changes in plasma and erythrocyte fatty acid phospholipid compositions were determined and compared to corresponding data generated in humans. Our findings suggest that basing lipid composition on percent of energy may result in comparable outcomes between mice and humans and that extrapolation of non-energy producing nutrients between species might be done using differences in energy needs (based on food intake).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite increasing international awareness of the impact of cancer on young adults, to date there has been limited in-depth research to understand their experiences following a diagnosis using a qualitative and longitudinal perspective. OBJECTIVES To explore the impact of cancer on young adults' evolving sense of self and identity over one year from the time of diagnosis. In addition, to contribute further to an understanding of innovative research methods used to examine this experience. DESIGN This was a longitudinal narrative study using visual methods and a psychosocial lens. Narrative was used to re-present experiences over time. SETTING AND SAMPLE Recruitment was from a Principal Treatment Centre for Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer and a Cancer Centre for Adults in the United Kingdom. Total population sampling was used over a six-month period, recruiting 18 young adults aged between 16 and 30, one to three months from a diagnosis of bone cancer, lymphoma or leukaemia. METHODS In depth, free association narrative interviews at three-time points over a year were undertaken. Photographs were used to help with story-telling. Extensive reflexive field notes, debriefing and the use of a psychosocial research group, also formed data sources. Forty interviews were conducted with 18 participants: eight took part in three interviews, six in two interviews and four in one interview. Analysis focused on the holistic 'case' of the individual temporally. In-depth, visual images were analysed from discussion in the narrative text. Through memoing, coding and comparison, themes were developed across all cases and a conceptual framework developed. RESULTS The conceptual framework illustrates the renegotiation of self over time through narrative. This was 'biographically' during young adult development and across 'cancer time'; through the core components of: the inner world, (psyche, emotion and coping); self as embodied; self as relating to others, and self as relating to place. Stories indicated that there was a constant inter- relationship over time between the renegotiation of identity and adaption of biography. CONCLUSIONS The focus in this paper is on 'the temporality of cancer' through the first year from diagnosis, and the juxtaposed process of managing biographical and developmental milestones. The importance of developing health care and research which enables narrative and the patient's voice has been highlighted. It emphasises the need for professionals to 'be with' and 'walk alongside' through the intensity of a biographically and identity changing illness. Using longitudinal narrative, visual & psychosocial methods to describe the impact of a diagnosis of cancer on young adults' sense of biography and identity.

Abstract
Obesity is a global problem for which sustainable solutions are yet to be realized. Community-based interventions have improved obesity-related behaviours and obesity in the short term. Few papers have explored how to make the interventions and their intended outcomes sustainable. The aim of this paper is to identify factors that contribute to the sustainability of community-based obesity prevention interventions and their intended outcomes. A systematic narrative synthesis review was conducted of published community-based obesity prevention interventions to identify factors contributing to intervention sustainability. Data extracted were included study authors' perspectives of intervention success and sustainability. Eighty-one papers met the inclusion criteria, and from these we identified ten factors that contribute to sustainability: resourcing, leadership, workforce development, community engagement, partnerships, policy, communications, adaptability, evaluation and governance. This review of community-based obesity prevention interventions gives rise to optimism that sustainable change is possible. We propose a framework to help practitioners build sustainability into their interventions and report on them so that others can also benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A marginal interaction between sex and the type of alkylating agent was observed for event-free survival in the Euro-EWING99-R1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide in Ewing sarcoma. To further evaluate this interaction, we performed an individual patient data meta-analysis of RCTs assessing cyclophosphamide versus ifosfamide in any type of cancer. METHODS A literature search produced two more eligible RCTs (EICESS92 and IRS-IV). The endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS, main endpoint) and overall survival (OS). The hazard ratios (HRs) of the treatment-by-sex interaction and their 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were assessed using stratified multivariable Cox models. Heterogeneity of the interaction across age categories and trials was explored. We also assessed this interaction for severe acute toxicity using logistic models. RESULTS The meta-analysis comprised 1,528 pediatric and young adult sarcoma patients from three RCTs: Euro-EWING99-R1 (n = 856), EICESS92 (n = 155), and IRS-IV (n = 517). There were 224 PFS events in Euro-EWING99-R1 and 200 in the validation set (EICESS92 + IRS-IV), and 171 and 154 deaths in each dataset, respectively. The estimated treatment-by-sex interaction for PFS in Euro-EWING99-R1 (HR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.00-3.00) was not replicated in the validation set (HR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.55-1.72), without heterogeneity across trials (P = 0.62). In the pooled analysis, the treatment-by-sex interaction was not significant (HR = 1.31, 95% CI = 0.89-1.95, P = 0.17), without heterogeneity across age categories (P = 0.88) and trials (P = 0.36). Similar results were observed for OS. No significant treatment-by-sex interaction was observed for leucopenia/neutropenia (P = 0.45), infection (P = 0.64), or renal toxicity (P = 0.20). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis did not confirm the hypothesis of a treatment-by-sex interaction on efficacy or toxicity outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prognosis of extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is reported to be poorer than that of skeletal osteosarcoma. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to evaluate factors influencing ESOS prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Members of the European Musculoskeletal Oncology Society (EMSOS) submitted institutional data on patients with ESOS. RESULTS Data from 274 patients treated from 1981 to 2014 were collected from 16 EMSOS centres; 266 patients were eligible. Fifty (18.7%) had metastases at diagnosis. Of 216 patients with localised disease, 211 (98%) underwent surgery (R0 = 70.6%, R1 = 27%). Five-year overall survival (OS) for all 266 patients was 47% (95% CI 40-54%). Five-year OS for metastatic patients was 27% (95% CI 13-41%). In the analysis restricted to the 211 localised patients who achieved complete remission after surgery 5-year OS was 51.4% (95% CI 44-59%) and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 43% (95% CI 35-51%). One hundred twenty-one patients (57.3%) received adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 80 patients (37.9%) received radiotherapy. A favourable trend was seen for osteosarcoma-type chemotherapy versus soft tissue sarcoma-type (doxorubicin ± ifosfamide) regimens. For the 211 patients in complete remission after surgery, patient age, tumour size, margins and chemotherapy were positive prognostic factors for DFS and OS by univariate analysis. At multivariate analysis, patient age (≤40 years versus >40 years) (P = 0.05), tumour size (P = 0.0001) and receipt of chemotherapy (P = 0.006) were statistically significant prognostic factors for survival. CONCLUSION Patient age and tumour size are factors influencing ESOS prognosis. Higher survival was observed in patients who received perioperative chemotherapy with a trend in favour of multiagent osteosarcoma-type regimen which included doxorubicin, ifosfamide and cisplatin.

Abstract
Curative therapies for Ewing sarcoma have been developed within cooperative groups. Consecutive clinical trials have systematically assessed the impact and timing of local therapy and the activity of cytotoxic drugs and their combinations. They have led to an increase of long-term disease-free survival to around 70% in patients with localized disease. Translational research in ES remains an area in which interdisciplinary and international cooperation is essential for future progress. This article reviews current state-of-the art therapy, with a focus on trials performed in Europe, and summarizes novel strategies to further advance both the cure rates and quality of survival.

Abstract
The paper re-evaluates Verhulst and Monod models. It has been claimed that standard logistic equation cannot describe the decline phase of mammalian cells in batch and fed-batch cultures and in some cases it fails to fit somatic growth data. In the present work Verhulst, population-based mechanistic growth model was revisited to describe successfully viable cell density (VCD) in exponential and decline phases of batch and fed-batch cultures of three different CHO cell lines. Verhulst model constants, K, carrying capacity (VCD/ml or μg/ml) and r, intrinsic growth factor (h(-1)) have physical meaning and they are of biological significance. These two parameters together define the course of growth and productivity and therefore, they are valuable in optimisation of culture media, developing feeding strategies and selection of cell lines for productivity. The Verhulst growth model approach was extended to develop productivity models for batch and fed-batch cultures. All Verhulst models were validated against blind data (R(2) > 0.95). Critical examination of theoretical approaches concluded that Monod parameters have no physical meaning. Monod-hybrid (pseudo-mechanistic) batch models were validated against specific growth rates of respective bolus and continuous fed-batch cultures (R(2) ≈ 0.90). The reduced form of Monod-hybrid model CL/(KL + CL) describes specific growth rate during metabolic shift (R(2) ≈ 0.95). Verhulst substrate-based growth models compared favourably with Monod-hybrid models. Thus, experimental evidence implies that the constants in the Monod-hybrid model may not have physical meaning but they behave similarly to the biological constants in Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics, the basis of the Monod growth model.

Abstract
We report a prospective Phase II study of efficacy and toxicity for oral treosulfan in advanced Ewing sarcoma. Twenty patients, median age 19 years (range 7-39) from five UK sites, were treated with oral treosulfan 1 g/m(2) daily for 7 days in 28. Primary endpoint was objective response rate. Best response was stable disease in one patient. All patients died of progressive disease, after median 6.41 months. Median progression free survival was 1.8 months. Toxicity was minimal. No activity was demonstrated for treosulfan at this dose. Progression free survival data should be able to be used for comparison when planning future clinical trials.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma, the most frequent bone cancer of children and adolescents, will almost always result in death due to pulmonary metastatic disease unless treated by surgery and effective multidrug chemotherapy. Imaging of the primary tumor is by X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging. Imaging of the chest is by computed tomography, but many questions regarding the interpretation of small, nonspecific findings and how to deal with them remain. The diagnosis must be confirmed by a well-placed biopsy. Chemotherapy is usually initiated prior to definitive surgery. Treatment generally includes high-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin, with some regimens also incorporating ifosfamide. While limb-saving resections have become standard after completion of skeletal growth, reconstruction in the growing child poses much greater challenges. The use of modern, expandable endoprostheses, but also rotation-plasties and even amputation may all be valid options in selected cases. Histologic response of the primary to preoperative chemotherapy has been identified as an important prognostic factor. Various imaging methods can help to predict tumor response to preoperative chemotherapy, yet all have their limitations. Results of a randomized trial assessing if modifying postoperative treatment based on the extent of response will improve results, EURAMOS-1, are pending. The debate about whether biologic agents or targeted therapies added to chemotherapy might improve outcomes is ongoing. Follow-up to detect late-effects of treatment and recurrences of osteosarcoma must be continued for several decades.

Abstract
It is well known that a wake will develop downstream of a tidal stream turbine owing to extraction of axial momentum across the rotor plane. To select a suitable layout for an array of horizontal axis tidal stream turbines, it is important to understand the extent and structure of the wakes of each turbine. Studies of wind turbines and isolated tidal stream turbines have shown that the velocity reduction in the wake of a single device is a function of the rotor operating state (specifically thrust), and that the rate of recovery of wake velocity is dependent on mixing between the wake and the surrounding flow. For an unbounded flow, the velocity of the surrounding flow is similar to that of the incident flow. However, the velocity of the surrounding flow will be increased by the presence of bounding surfaces formed by the bed and free surface, and by the wake of adjacent devices. This paper presents the results of an experimental study investigating the influence of such bounding surfaces on the structure of the wake of tidal stream turbines.

Abstract
A Monod kinetic model, logistic equation model, and statistical regression model were developed for a Chinese hamster ovary cell bioprocess operated under three different modes of operation (batch, bolus fed-batch, and continuous fed-batch) and grown on two different bioreactor scales (3 L bench-top and 15 L pilot-scale). The Monod kinetic model was developed for all modes of operation under study and predicted cell density, glucose glutamine, lactate, and ammonia concentrations well for the bioprocess. However, it was computationally demanding due to the large number of parameters necessary to produce a good model fit. The transferability of the Monod kinetic model structure and parameter set across bioreactor scales and modes of operation was investigated and a parameter sensitivity analysis performed. The experimentally determined parameters had the greatest influence on model performance. They changed with scale and mode of operation, but were easily calculated. The remaining parameters, which were fitted using a differential evolutionary algorithm, were not as crucial. Logistic equation and statistical regression models were investigated as alternatives to the Monod kinetic model. They were less computationally intensive to develop due to the absence of a large parameter set. However, modeling of the nutrient and metabolite concentrations proved to be troublesome due to the logistic equation model structure and the inability of both models to incorporate a feed. The complexity, computational load, and effort required for model development has to be balanced with the necessary level of model sophistication when choosing which model type to develop for a particular application.

Abstract
Countries across Europe developed a range of database systems to register pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 cases. Anecdotal reports indicate that some systems were not as useful as expected. This was a cross-sectional, semi-structured survey of health professionals who collected and reported pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 cases in 23 countries within the 27 European Union (EU) Member States plus Norway. We describe here the experiences of using pandemic case register systems developed before and during the pandemic, whether the systems were used as intended and, what problems, if any, were encountered. We conducted the survey to identify improvements that could be made to future pandemic case registers at national and EU level. Despite many inter-country differences, 17 respondents felt that a standardised case register template incorporating a limited number of simple standard variables specified in advance and agreed between the World Health Organization and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control could be useful. Intra- and inter-country working groups could facilitate information exchange, clearer system objectives and improved interoperability between systems.

Abstract
The potential of focussed beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) as a tool to monitor changes in biomass concentration was investigated in a number of biological systems. The measurement technique was applied to two morphologically dissimilar plant cell suspension cultures, Morinda citrifolia and Centaurea calcitrapa, to a filamentous bacteria, Streptomyces natalensis, to high density cultures of Escherichia coli and to a murine Sp2/0 hybridoma suspension cell line, 3-2.19. In all cases, the biomass concentration proved to be correlated with total FBRM counts. The nature of the correlation varied between systems and was influenced by the concentration, nature, size and morphology of the particle under investigation.

Abstract
Purpose. The prognosis for patients with Ewing's tumours who have metastases at presentation or who are refractory to standard chemotherapy regimens remains poor. There is therefore a need to evaluate the role of new agents. This report
describes the initial results of a prospective phase II trial of docetaxel in patients with progressive or refractory Ewing's tumours. Patients and methods. Fourteen patients with Ewing's tumours who had all relapsed or progressed after treatment with
multi-drug cytotoxic therapy were treated with docetaxel 100 mg/m2 infused over 1 h, three weekly for a maximum of six cycles.
Nine patients received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with all cycles. Results. A partial response was observed in one patient and stable disease in two. The remaining patients progressed on
treatment. The major toxicity was myelosuppression and infection with 36% patients experiencing grade 3 or 4 neutropenia
and/or infection. Conclusion. Docetaxel appears to have some activity in Ewing's tumours even in heavily pre-treated patients. Further evaluation
of its efficacy at an earlier stage of the disease is warranted.

Abstract
Between October and December 2009, 23 cases of Salmonella Typhimurium (Dutch) phage type 132, each with an identical multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) profile (02-20-08-11-212), were reported from across the Netherlands. A case–control study was conducted using the food-consumption component of responses to a routine population-based survey as a control group. The mean age of cases was 17 years (median: 10 years, range: 1–68). Sixteen cases were aged 16 years or under. Raw or undercooked beef products were identified as the probable source of infection. Consumers, in particular parents of young children, should be reminded of the potential danger of eating raw or undercooked meat.

Abstract
Since December 2009, mumps incidence has increased in the Netherlands. As of 20 April 2010, 172 cases have been notified on the basis of laboratory confirmation or linkage to a laboratory-confirmed case. Of these, 112 were students, the majority of whom had been vaccinated (81%). Although outbreaks in vaccinated populations have been described before, risk factors for exposure and susceptibility, and dose-dependent vaccine effectiveness in a student population of this nature are relatively unknown.

Abstract
10544 Background: To assess prognostic factors at diagnosis in prospectively treated patients with primary extra-pulmonary metastatic Ewing tumors (EPM-ET) of the EURO-E.W.I.N.G. 99 Study. Methods: From 1999 to 2005, 281 patients were enrolled. Median age was 16.2 years (0.4–49). Primary site was extremity in 84 patients and axial in 197 (115 pelvic sites), with a tumor volume >200ml in 171 patients. Treatment consisted of 6 VIDE cycles, one VAI/VAC cycle, local treatment (surgery and/or radiotherapy), and high-dose busulfan-melphalan followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation (HDT/SCT). Results: After a median follow up of 3.8 years, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) at 3 years for all 281 patients were 27%±3% and 34%±4%. Six VIDE cycles were completed by 250 patients (89%); 169 (60%) received HDT/SCT. Cox regression analyses demonstrated increased risk for patients with more than two bone metastatic sites (hazard ratio: HR 2.0), a primary tumor volume >200ml (HR 1.8), bone marrow metastases (HR 1.6), age >14 years (HR 1.6), and additional lung metastases (HR 1.5). A risk score based on these HR identified three risk groups with EFS rates of 50% for scores <_3 (82 patients), 25% for scores >3 to <5 (102 patients), and 10% for scores >_5 (70 patients), p< 0.0001. Conclusions: A proportion of EPM-ET patients may survive with intensive multimodal therapy. Age, tumor volume, and extent of metastatic spread are relevant risk factors. A score based on these factors identifies EPMD-ET patients with a more favorable outlook at diagnosis and may facilitate risk adapted treatment approaches. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
The introduction of multi-agent chemotherapy dramatically improved the outcome for patients with osteosarcoma. However, we appear to have reached a plateau in outcome with a long-term event-free survival of 60-70%. Therefore, detection of further improvements will likely require larger numbers of patients. This goal is best achieved via randomized clinical trials (RCTs) requiring large-scale cooperation and collaboration. With this background, four multinational groups agreed on the merits of collaboration: Children's Oncology Group (COG), Cooperative Osteosarcoma Study Group (COSS), European Osteosarcoma Intergroup (EOI) and Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG); they designed a study to determine whether altering postoperative therapy based on histological response improved the outcome. The study design includes a backbone of 10 weeks of preoperative therapy using MAP (methotrexate, Adriamycin and cisplatin). Following surgery, patients are stratified according to histological response. Patients classified as "good responders" (>or=90% necrosis) are randomized to continue MAP or to receive MAP followed by maintenance pegylated interferon, while "poor responders" (<90% necrosis) are randomized to either continue MAP or to receive MAPIE (MAP+ifosfamide, etoposide). The design includes the registration of 1,400 patients over 4 years as well as the evaluation of quality of life using two different instruments. The group has established an efficient infrastructure to ensure successful implementation of the trial. This has included the EURAMOS Intergroup Safety Desk, which has established an international system for SAE, SAR and SUSAR reporting to the relevant competent authorities and ethics committees for each participating country. The group has also developed trial site monitoring and data center audits with funding from the European Science Foundation (ESF). The ESF has also funded three training courses to familiarize institutional staff with the requirements of multinational GCP trials. We have established a successful collaboration, and as of February 2008, 901 patients have been enrolled (COG 448; COSS 226; EOI 181; SSG 46) from 249 institutions in 16 different countries. As expected, 80% of the patients are <18 years of age, and accrual into the Quality of Life sub-study is proceeding as planned with 90% of the subjects agreeing to participate. International awareness is increasing and procedures for applicant countries wishing to join the collaboration have been implemented. Details about EURAMOS can be found at www.euramos.org. International trials in rare diseases are practicable with appropriate funding, planning and support. Although the implementation of such trials is difficult and time consuming, it is a worthwhile effort to rapidly complete RCTs and identify interventions that will improve the outcome of all osteosarcoma patients.EURAMOS-1 is the fastest accruing osteosarcoma trial and is already the largest osteosarcoma study conducted.
