Abstract
Community-facility linkage interventions are gaining popularity as a way to improve community health in low-income settings. Their aim is to create/strengthen a relationship between community members and local healthcare providers. Representatives from both groups can address health issues together, overcome trust problems, potentially leading to participants' empowerment to be responsible for their own health. This can be achieved via different approaches. We conducted a systematic literature review to explore how this type of intervention has been implemented in rural and low or lower-middle income countries, its various features and how/if it has helped to improve child health in these settings. Publications from three electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Embase) up to 03/02/2022 were screened, with 14 papers meeting the inclusion criteria (rural setting in low/lower-middle income countries, presence of a community-facility linkage component, outcomes of interest related to under-five children's health, peer-reviewed articles containing original data written in English). We used Rosato's integrated conceptual framework for community participation to assess the transformative and community empowering capacities of the interventions, and realist principles to synthesize the outcomes. The results of this analysis highlight which conditions can lead to success of this type of intervention: active inclusion of hard-to-reach groups, involvement of community members in implementation's decisions, activities tailored to the actual needs of interventions' contexts, and usage of mixed methods for a comprehensive evaluation. These lessons informed the design of a community-facility linkage intervention and offer a framework to inform the development of monitor and evaluation plans for future implementations.

Abstract
Aicardi Syndrome (AIC) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder recognized by the classical triad of agenesis of the corpus callosum, chorioretinal lacunae and infantile epileptic spasms syndrome. The diagnostic criteria of AIC were revised in 2005 to include additional phenotypes that are frequently observed in this patient group. AIC has been traditionally considered as X-linked and male lethal because it almost exclusively affects females. Despite numerous genetic and genomic investigations on AIC, a unifying X-linked cause has not been identified. Here, we performed exome and genome sequencing of 10 females with AIC or suspected AIC based on current criteria. We identified a unique de novo variant, each in different genes: KMT2B, SLF1, SMARCB1, SZT2 and WNT8B, in five of these females. Notably, genomic analyses of coding and non-coding single nucleotide variants, short tandem repeats and structural variation highlighted a distinct lack of X-linked candidate genes. We assessed the likely pathogenicity of our candidate autosomal variants using the TOPflash assay for WNT8B and morpholino knockdown in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos for other candidates. We show expression of Wnt8b and Slf1 are restricted to clinically relevant cortical tissues during mouse development. Our findings suggest that AIC is genetically heterogeneous with implicated genes converging on molecular pathways central to cortical development.

Abstract
Introduction This work explores the use of an automated facial coding software - FaceReader - as an alternative and/or complementary method to manual coding. Methods We used videos of parents (fathers, n = 36; mothers, n = 29) taken from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. The videos-obtained during real-life parent-infant interactions in the home-were coded both manually (using an existing coding scheme) and by FaceReader. We established a correspondence between the manual and automated coding categories - namely Positive, Neutral, Negative, and Surprise - before contingency tables were employed to examine the software's detection rate and quantify the agreement between manual and automated coding. By employing binary logistic regression, we examined the predictive potential of FaceReader outputs in determining manually classified facial expressions. An interaction term was used to investigate the impact of gender on our models, seeking to estimate its influence on the predictive accuracy. Results We found that the automated facial detection rate was low (25.2% for fathers, 24.6% for mothers) compared to manual coding, and discuss some potential explanations for this (e.g., poor lighting and facial occlusion). Our logistic regression analyses found that Surprise and Positive expressions had strong predictive capabilities, whilst Negative expressions performed poorly. Mothers' faces were more important for predicting Positive and Neutral expressions, whilst fathers' faces were more important in predicting Negative and Surprise expressions. Discussion We discuss the implications of our findings in the context of future automated facial coding studies, and we emphasise the need to consider gender-specific influences in automated facial coding research.

Abstract
Background and Objectives The 2-hit model of genetic disease is well established in cancer, yet has
only recently been reported to cause brain malformations associated with
epilepsy. Pathogenic germline and somatic variants in genes in the
mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway have been implicated in
several malformations of cortical development. We investigated the 2-hit
model by performing genetic analysis and searching for germline and somatic
variants in genes in the mTOR and related pathways. Methods We searched for germline and somatic pathogenic variants in 2 brothers with
drug-resistant focal epilepsy and surgically resected focal cortical
dysplasia (FCD) type IIA. Exome sequencing was performed on blood- and
brain-derived DNA to identify pathogenic variants, which were validated by
droplet digital PCR. In vitro functional assays of a somatic variant were
performed. Results Exome analysis revealed a novel, maternally inherited, germline pathogenic
truncation variant (c.48delG; p.Ser17Alafs*70) in
NPRL3 in both brothers. NPRL3 is a
known FCD gene that encodes a negative regulator of the mTOR pathway.
Somatic variant calling in brain-derived DNA from both brothers revealed a
low allele fraction somatic variant (c.338C>T; p.Ala113Val) in the
WNT2 gene in 1 brother, confirmed by droplet digital
PCR. In vitro functional studies suggested a loss of WNT2 function as a
consequence of this variant. A second somatic variant has not yet been found
in the other brother. Discussion We identify a pathogenic germline mTOR pathway variant
(NPRL3) and a somatic variant (WNT2)
in the intersecting WNT signaling pathway, potentially implicating the
WNT2 gene in FCD and supporting a dual-pathway 2-hit
model. If confirmed in other cases, this would extend the 2-hit model to
pathogenic variants in different genes in critical, intersecting pathways in
a malformation of cortical development. Detection of low allele fraction
somatic second hits is challenging but promises to unravel the molecular
architecture of FCDs.

Abstract
Febrile seizures represent the most common type of pathological brain activity in
young children and are influenced by genetic, environmental and developmental
factors. In a minority of cases, febrile seizures precede later development of
epilepsy. We conducted a genome-wide association study of febrile seizures in 7635 cases
and 83 966 controls identifying and replicating seven new loci, all with
P < 5 × 10−10. Variants at two loci were functionally related to altered expression of the fever
response genes PTGER3 and IL10, and four other
loci harboured genes (BSN, ERC2,
GABRG2, HERC1) influencing neuronal
excitability by regulating neurotransmitter release and binding, vesicular
transport or membrane trafficking at the synapse. Four previously reported loci
(SCN1A, SCN2A, ANO3 and
12q21.33) were all confirmed. Collectively, the seven novel and four previously
reported loci explained 2.8% of the variance in liability to febrile
seizures, and the single nucleotide polymorphism heritability based on all
common autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms was 10.8%.
GABRG2, SCN1A and SCN2A
are well-established epilepsy genes and, overall, we found positive genetic
correlations with epilepsies (rg = 0.39,
P = 1.68 × 10−4). Further,
we found that higher polygenic risk scores for febrile seizures were associated
with epilepsy and with history of hospital admission for febrile seizures.
Finally, we found that polygenic risk of febrile seizures was lower in febrile
seizure patients with neuropsychiatric disease compared to febrile seizure
patients in a general population sample. In conclusion, this largest genetic investigation of febrile seizures to date
implicates central fever response genes as well as genes affecting neuronal
excitability, including several known epilepsy genes. Further functional and
genetic studies based on these findings will provide important insights into the
complex pathophysiological processes of seizures with and without fever.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present there is no core outcome set (COS) for use in community and primary care Musculoskeletal (MSK) services across the UK. Services are therefore collecting different MSK outcomes and metrics in different ways and at different times. Standardising MSK data collection is essential in order for fair and impactful benchmarking to improve the quality of care delivered to the millions of patients presenting each year with MSK disorders. OBJECTIVE To gain consensus on a proposed set of metrics that could be used to develop a COS for use in routine practice in community and primary care MSK services in the UK and to make recommendations to inform a future national MSK audit. METHODS A consensus process involving researchers, healthcare professionals and patients. Previous research generated an initial list of proposed metrics. This proposal was then taken to wider stakeholder consensus via an online survey designed for both healthcare professionals and MSK service users. RESULTS 199 respondents completed the survey, 166 healthcare professionals and 33 service users (25/33 eligible to answer all items within the survey). Metrics that reached strong consensus were; age, pain site, comorbidities, duration of symptoms, work status, work absence, work absence duration. No Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) met strong consensus and all Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) other than timeliness/convenience met strong consensus criteria. CONCLUSION 7 baseline factors and 9 PREM domains reached strong consensus. The MSK-HQ PROM was the highest rated outcome measure so was also recommended for inclusion in an MSK COS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS) is one of the most severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. We delineate the genetic causes and genotype-phenotype correlations of a large EIMFS cohort. METHODS Phenotypic and molecular data were analyzed on patients recruited through an international collaborative study. RESULTS We ascertained 135 patients from 128 unrelated families. Ninety-three of 135 (69%) had causative variants (42/55 previously reported) across 23 genes, including 9 novel EIMFS genes: de novo dominant GABRA1, GABRB1, ATP1A3; X-linked CDKL5, PIGA; and recessive ITPA, AIMP1, KARS, WWOX. The most frequently implicated genes were KCNT1 (36/135, 27%) and SCN2A (10/135, 7%). Mosaicism occurred in 2 probands (SCN2A, GABRB3) and 3 unaffected mothers (KCNT1). Median age at seizure onset was 4 weeks, with earlier onset in the SCN2A, KCNQ2, and BRAT1 groups. Epileptic spasms occurred in 22% patients. A total of 127 patients had severe to profound developmental impairment. All but 7 patients had ongoing seizures. Additional features included microcephaly, movement disorders, spasticity, and scoliosis. Mortality occurred in 33% at median age 2 years 7 months. INTERPRETATION We identified a genetic cause in 69% of patients with EIMFS. We highlight the genetic heterogeneity of EIMFS with 9 newly implicated genes, bringing the total number to 33. Mosaicism was observed in probands and parents, carrying critical implications for recurrence risk. EIMFS pathophysiology involves diverse molecular processes from gene and protein regulation to ion channel function and solute trafficking. ANN NEUROL 2019;86:821-831.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Febrile seizures may follow vaccination. Common variants in the sodium channel gene, SCN1A, are associated with febrile seizures, and rare pathogenic variants in SCN1A cause the severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy Dravet syndrome. Following vaccination, febrile seizures may raise the specter of poor outcome and inappropriately implicate vaccination as the cause. We aimed to determine the prevalence of SCN1A variants in children having their first febrile seizure either proximal to vaccination or unrelated to vaccination compared to controls. METHODS We performed SCN1A sequencing, blind to clinical category, in a prospective cohort of children presenting with their first febrile seizure as vaccine proximate (n = 69) or as non-vaccine proximate (n = 75), and children with no history of seizures (n = 90) recruited in Australian pediatric hospitals. RESULTS We detected 2 pathogenic variants in vaccine-proximate cases (p.R568X and p.W932R), both of whom developed Dravet syndrome, and 1 in a non-vaccine-proximate case (p.V947L) who had febrile seizures plus from 9 months. All had generalized tonic-clonic seizures lasting >15 minutes. We also found enrichment of a reported risk allele, rs6432860-T, in children with febrile seizures compared to controls (odds ratio = 1.91, 95% confidence interval = 1.31-2.81). INTERPRETATION Pathogenic SCN1A variants may be identified in infants with vaccine-proximate febrile seizures. As early diagnosis of Dravet syndrome is essential for optimal management and outcome, SCN1A sequencing in infants with prolonged febrile seizures, proximate to vaccination, should become routine.

Abstract
Sequencing-based studies have identified novel risk genes associated with severe epilepsies and revealed an excess of rare deleterious variation in less-severe forms of epilepsy. To identify the shared and distinct ultra-rare genetic risk factors for different types of epilepsies, we performed a whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis of 9,170 epilepsy-affected individuals and 8,436 controls of European ancestry. We focused on three phenotypic groups: severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE), and non-acquired focal epilepsy (NAFE). We observed that compared to controls, individuals with any type of epilepsy carried an excess of ultra-rare, deleterious variants in constrained genes and in genes previously associated with epilepsy; we saw the strongest enrichment in individuals with DEEs and the least strong in individuals with NAFE. Moreover, we found that inhibitory GABAA receptor genes were enriched for missense variants across all three classes of epilepsy, whereas no enrichment was seen in excitatory receptor genes. The larger gene groups for the GABAergic pathway or cation channels also showed a significant mutational burden in DEEs and GGE. Although no single gene surpassed exome-wide significance among individuals with GGE or NAFE, highly constrained genes and genes encoding ion channels were among the lead associations; such genes included CACNA1G, EEF1A2, and GABRG2 for GGE and LGI1, TRIM3, and GABRG2 for NAFE. Our study, the largest epilepsy WES study to date, confirms a convergence in the genetics of severe and less-severe epilepsies associated with ultra-rare coding variation, and it highlights a ubiquitous role for GABAergic inhibition in epilepsy etiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To delineate the epileptology, a key part of the SYNGAP1 phenotypic spectrum, in a large patient cohort. METHODS Patients were recruited via investigators' practices or social media. We included patients with (likely) pathogenic SYNGAP1 variants or chromosome 6p21.32 microdeletions incorporating SYNGAP1. We analyzed patients' phenotypes using a standardized epilepsy questionnaire, medical records, EEG, MRI, and seizure videos. RESULTS We included 57 patients (53% male, median age 8 years) with SYNGAP1 mutations (n = 53) or microdeletions (n = 4). Of the 57 patients, 56 had epilepsy: generalized in 55, with focal seizures in 7 and infantile spasms in 1. Median seizure onset age was 2 years. A novel type of drop attack was identified comprising eyelid myoclonia evolving to a myoclonic-atonic (n = 5) or atonic (n = 8) seizure. Seizure types included eyelid myoclonia with absences (65%), myoclonic seizures (34%), atypical (20%) and typical (18%) absences, and atonic seizures (14%), triggered by eating in 25%. Developmental delay preceded seizure onset in 54 of 56 (96%) patients for whom early developmental history was available. Developmental plateauing or regression occurred with seizures in 56 in the context of a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Fifty-five of 57 patients had intellectual disability, which was moderate to severe in 50. Other common features included behavioral problems (73%); high pain threshold (72%); eating problems, including oral aversion (68%); hypotonia (67%); sleeping problems (62%); autism spectrum disorder (54%); and ataxia or gait abnormalities (51%). CONCLUSIONS SYNGAP1 mutations cause a generalized DEE with a distinctive syndrome combining epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia with absences and myoclonic-atonic seizures, as well as a predilection to seizures triggered by eating.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Following our original description of generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) in 1997, we analyze the phenotypic spectrum in 409 affected individuals in 60 families (31 new families) and expand the GEFS+ spectrum. METHODS We performed detailed electroclinical phenotyping on all available affected family members. Genetic analysis of known GEFS+ genes was carried out where possible. We compared our phenotypic and genetic data to those published in the literature over the last 19 years. RESULTS We identified new phenotypes within the GEFS+ spectrum: focal seizures without preceding febrile seizures (16/409 [4%]), classic genetic generalized epilepsies (22/409 [5%]), and afebrile generalized tonic-clonic seizures (9/409 [2%]). Febrile seizures remains the most frequent phenotype in GEFS+ (178/409 [44%]), followed by febrile seizures plus (111/409 [27%]). One third (50/163 [31%]) of GEFS+ families tested have a pathogenic variant in a known GEFS+ gene. CONCLUSION As 37/409 (9%) affected individuals have focal epilepsies, we suggest that GEFS+ be renamed genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus rather than generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus. The phenotypic overlap between GEFS+ and the classic generalized epilepsies is considerably greater than first thought. The clinical and molecular data suggest that the 2 major groups of generalized epilepsies share genetic determinants.

Abstract
Background The pathogenesis of neurological and mental health disorders often involves multiple genes, complex interactions, as well as brain- and development-specific biological mechanisms. These characteristics make identification of disease genes for such disorders challenging, as conventional prioritisation tools are not specifically tailored to deal with the complexity of the human brain. Thus, we developed a novel web-application—brain-coX—that offers gene prioritisation with accompanying visualisations based on seven gene expression datasets in the post-mortem human brain, the largest such resource ever assembled. Results We tested whether our tool can correctly prioritise known genes from 37 brain-specific KEGG pathways and 17 psychiatric conditions. We achieved average sensitivity of nearly 50%, at the same time reaching a specificity of approximately 75%. We also compared brain-coX’s performance to that of its main competitors, Endeavour and ToppGene, focusing on the ability to discover novel associations. Using a subset of the curated SFARI autism gene collection we show that brain-coX’s prioritisations are most similar to SFARI’s own curated gene classifications. Conclusions brain-coX is the first prioritisation and visualisation web-tool targeted to the human brain and can be freely accessed via http://shiny.bioinf.wehi.edu.au/freytag.s/.

Abstract
Synaptic proteins are critical to neuronal function in the brain, and their deficiency can lead to seizures and cognitive impairments. CNKSR2 (connector enhancer of KSR2) is a synaptic protein involved in Ras signaling-mediated neuronal proliferation, migration and differentiation. Mutations in the X-linked gene CNKSR2 have been described in patients with seizures and neurodevelopmental deficits, especially those affecting language. In this study, we sequenced 112 patients with phenotypes within the epilepsy-aphasia spectrum (EAS) to determine the frequency of CNKSR2 mutation within this complex set of disorders. We detected a novel nonsense mutation (c.2314 C>T; p.Arg712*) in one Ashkenazi Jewish family, the male proband of which had a severe epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike-waves in sleep (ECSWS). His affected brother also had ECSWS with better outcome, whereas the sister had childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. This mutation segregated in the three affected siblings in an X-linked manner, inherited from their mother who had febrile seizures. Although the frequency of point mutation is low, CNKSR2 sequencing should be considered in families with suspected X-linked EAS because of the specific genetic counseling implications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION 'Transition' not only involves finding an adult healthcare provider, but also includes the process of developing the patient's ability to care for him/herself. Recent literature states that 40% of young adults with special healthcare needs are receiving the tools needed for transition. Pediatric urologists treating patients with complex anomalies, such as spina bifida, often anticipate poor outcomes for patients who are ill equipped for transition to adult care. The goal of this study was to identify potential barriers for young adults with neurogenic bladder when transitioning to independent care. STUDY DESIGN A prospective IRB-approved study was performed on all patients with neurogenic bladder referred to the transitional urology clinic. Reasons for missed appointments were tracked, and all patients were asked to complete the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) in private prior to an appointment. The TRAQ responses are scaled 1-5, with higher numbers corresponding to higher transition readiness of each individual skill. The mean score for each question was calculated across all patients, and the mean TRAQ score was calculated across all questions for each patient. To assess if certain subgroups were more prepared for transition, mean scores were compared between sexes, patients aged <19 and ≥19 years old, and between ambulatory and full-time wheelchair users with unpaired t-tests. RESULTS A total of 73% (58/79) of patients referred to the transitional clinic came to their appointment. The most common reason for missed clinic appointments was related to health insurance coverage (47%). A total of 42 patients completed the TRAQ at a mean age of 19.5 years old; 90% (38/42) had spina bifida. Females, ambulatory patients, and those ≥19 years old had higher overall mean TRAQ scores, but these differences were not statistically significant. The highest TRAQ scores were related to taking and ordering medications, utilization of medical supplies, communication with healthcare providers, and assisting with household duties. The majority of the patients indicated 'I am learning to do this'. The lowest scores were in response to questions about health insurance coverage, payments for medications or medical equipment, financial help, and utilization of community services. Most patients responded 'I do not know how but I want to learn'. CONCLUSIONS Young adults with neurogenic bladder needed the most guidance during transition to independent care, with management of health insurance and finances. Based on these findings, dedicated social work and nurse visits have been included into the transition process.

Abstract
Several broadly circular structures up to 16 m in diameter, into which higher strata have sagged and locally collapsed, are present in a tephra outcrop on southwest Öræfajökull, southern Iceland. The tephra was sourced in a nearby basaltic tuff cone at Varða. The structures have not previously been described in tuff cones, and they probably formed by the melting out of large buried blocks of ice emplaced during a preceding jökulhlaup that may have been triggered by a subglacial eruption within the Öræfajökull ice cap. They are named ice-melt subsidence structures, and they are analogous to kettle holes that are commonly found in proglacial sandurs and some lahars sourced in ice-clad volcanoes. The internal structure is better exposed in the Varða examples because of an absence of fluvial infilling and reworking, and erosion of the outcrop to reveal the deeper geometry. The ice-melt subsidence structures at Varða are a proxy for buried ice. They are the only known evidence for a subglacial eruption and associated jökulhlaup that created the ice blocks. The recognition of such structures elsewhere will be useful in reconstructing more complete regional volcanic histories as well as for identifying ice-proximal settings during palaeoenvironmental investigations.

Abstract
Whole-exome sequencing of two brothers with drug-resistant, early-onset, focal epilepsy secondary to extensive type IIA focal cortical dysplasia identified a paternally inherited, nonsense variant of DEPDC5 (c.C1663T, p.Arg555*). This variant has previously been reported to cause familial focal epilepsy with variable foci in patients with normal brain imaging. Immunostaining of resected brain tissue from both brothers demonstrated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation. This report shows the histopathological features of cortical dysplasia associated with a DEPDC5 mutation, confirms mTOR dysregulation in the malformed tissue and expands the spectrum of neurological manifestations of DEPDC5 mutations to include severe phenotypes with large areas of cortical malformation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether epileptogenic focus localization is possible based on resting state connectivity analysis of magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data. METHODS A multivariate autoregressive (MVAR) model was constructed using the sensor space data and was projected to the source space using lead field and inverse matrix. The generalized partial directed coherence was estimated from the MVAR model in the source space. The dipole with the maximum information inflow was hypothesized to be within the epileptogenic focus. RESULTS Applying the focus localization algorithm (FLA) to the interictal MEG recordings from five patients with neocortical epilepsy, who underwent presurgical evaluation for the identification of epileptogenic focus, we were able to correctly localize the focus, on the basis of maximum interictal information inflow in the presence or absence of interictal epileptic spikes in the data, with three out of five patients undergoing resective surgery and being seizure free since. CONCLUSION Our preliminary results suggest that accurate localization of the epileptogenic focus may be accomplished using noninvasive spontaneous "resting-state" recordings of relatively brief duration and without the need to capture definite interictal and/or ictal abnormalities. SIGNIFICANCE Epileptogenic focus localization is possible through connectivity analysis of resting state MEG data irrespective of the presence/absence of spikes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Domestic violence (DV), also known as intimate partner violence (IPV), is one of the leading causes of serious injury among women of childbearing age. As first responders on the scene during DV calls where personal injuries have occurred, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) could routinely identify, report and assist victims of violence. Yet, little is known of the prevalence of DV calls in EMS practice, Emergency Medical Technicians' (EMT) knowledge and comfort in responding to such calls, or how they care for victims. METHOD The objectives of this study were to assess EMTs' knowledge of and experience with providing care to victims of DV in the province of Ontario, Canada. Data were gathered through an online, short-answer survey. Survey data were analysed using basic frequency displays, and descriptive statistics are reported. RESULTS Almost 500 EMTs participated in this study, the vast majority of whom (90%) attended at least one DV call in the preceding year, with 65% attending between 10 and 20 DV calls. The majority of respondents (84.5%) wished for more education and training on the issue. CONCLUSION EMTs have frequent contact with victims of DV yet have received little education about the issue. The majority of those surveyed would like specific education and training on DV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to characterize a previously unreported form of CNS barrier disruption in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH): hyperacute injury marker (HARM). METHODS In this retrospective cohort analysis of patients presenting with primary ICH, precontrast and postcontrast MRI scans obtained within 5 days of symptom onset were analyzed. The presence of CNS barrier disruption was defined by (1) perihematomal or intrahematomal enhancement visualized on postcontrast T1-weighted MRI or (2) HARM: sulcal or ventricular hyperintensity visualized on postcontrast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences (graded on a 5-point scale). RESULTS Forty-six patients were included in the analysis. Mean age was 65 years, median NIH Stroke Scale score was 7, and mean ICH volume was 12.2 mL (range 0.3-46.9 mL). HARM was visualized in 85% of patients, and this was moderate to severe in 50%. In all cases, the sulcal enhancement was noncontiguous with the hematoma. Of those patients with postcontrast T1-weighted imaging, perihematomal or intrahematomal contrast enhancement was visualized in 75% of patients. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that HARM occurs in intracerebral hemorrhage and that it likely represents a second type of CNS barrier disruption distinct from parenchymal postcontrast T1-weighted enhancement. Similar to T1 enhancement, this phenomenon may serve as a clinically useful biomarker to test therapies aimed at stabilizing acute ICH and CNS barrier disruption. Future studies are needed to further define the time course and prognostic implications of this finding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To isolate and identify antibiotic-resistant bacteria from the exudate of a complex wound and determine if antibiotic resistance genes are chromosomal or plasmid borne. METHOD Antibiotic resistant bacteria from wound exudate of a single clinical sample were selected on agar media with ampicillin. A single colony was further screened for resistance to kanamycin by antibiotic-supplemented agar and to other antibiotics by an automated Phoenix instrument. Identification of the isolate was carried out by biochemical profiling and by 16S rDNA analysis. RESULTS Approximately 51% of total bacteria in the wound exudate with identical colony morphotype were resistant to 100 microg/ml of ampicillin. A single colony from this population also demonstrated resistance to 50 microg/ml of kanamycin on kanamycin-supplemented agar. Further antimicrobial sensitivity testing by the Phoenix instrument indicated resistance to inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin-sulbactam, cefazolin, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, tobramycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Biochemical and 16S rDNA analysis identified this bacterial isolate as a member of genus Enterobacter. A plasmid preparation from this isolate successfully transferred ampicillin and kanamycin resistance to E. coli competent cells. E. coli transformants displayed two resistance phenotypes and the plasmids from these transformants displayed two different restriction type patterns, with one correlating to ampicillin and kanamycin resistance and the other only to ampicillin resistance. CONCLUSION A multiple antibiotic-resistant Enterobacter spp. from the wound fluid of a clinical sample was found to carry an antibiotic-resistant plasmid in a closely related species E. coli. The presence of antibiotic resistance plasmid in Enterobacteria that are part of the normal microbial flora of the human gut and skin could lead to the spread of resistance phenotype and emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens. This study suggests normal human microbial fl ora could be a potential reservoir for resistance genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sunitinib malate (SUTENT) has promising single-agent activity given on Schedule 4/2 (4 weeks on treatment followed by 2 weeks off treatment) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We examined the activity of sunitinib on a continuous daily dosing (CDD) schedule in an open-label, multicentre phase II study in patients with previously treated, advanced NSCLC. Patients > or =18 years with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC after failure with platinum-based chemotherapy, received sunitinib 37.5 mg per day. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), 1-year survival rate, and safety. RESULTS Of 47 patients receiving sunitinib, one patient achieved a confirmed partial response (ORR 2.1% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.1, 11.3)) and 11 (23.4%) had stable disease (SD) > or =8 weeks. Five patients had SD>6 months. Median PFS was 11.9 weeks (95% CI 8.6, 14.1) and median OS was 37.1 weeks (95% CI 31.1, 69.7). The 1-year survival probability was 38.4% (95% CI 24.2, 52.5). Treatment was generally well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS The safety profile and time-to-event analyses, albeit relatively low response rate of 2%, suggest single-agent sunitinib on a CDD schedule may be a potential therapeutic agent for patients with advanced, refractory NSCLC.

Abstract
We describe a distinct retinal disorder, autosomal-recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB), that is consequent upon biallelic mutation in BEST1 and is associated with central visual loss, a characteristic retinopathy, an absent electro-oculogram light rise, and a reduced electroretinogram. Heterozygous mutations in BEST1 have previously been found to cause the two dominantly inherited disorders, Best macular dystrophy and autosomal-dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy. The transmembrane protein bestrophin-1, encoded by BEST1, is located at the basolateral membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium in which it probably functions as a Cl(-) channel. We sequenced BEST1 in five families, identifying DNA variants in each of ten alleles. These encoded six different missense variants and one nonsense variant. The alleles segregated appropriately for a recessive disorder in each family. No clinical or electrophysiological abnormalities were identified in any heterozygotes. We conducted whole-cell patch-clamping of HEK293 cells transfected with bestrophin-1 to measure the Cl(-) current. Two ARB missense isoforms severely reduced channel activity. However, unlike two other alleles previously associated with Best disease, cotransfection with wild-type bestrophin-1 did not impair the formation of active wild-type bestrophin-1 channels, consistent with the recessive nature of the condition. We propose that ARB is the null phenotype of bestrophin-1 in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with partial epilepsy may report multiple types of aura during their seizures. The significance of the occurrence of multiple auras in the same patient is not known. METHODS The clinical and electrophysiologic characteristics of patients with more than one aura type (abdominal, auditory, autonomic, gustatory, olfactory, psychic, somatosensory, and visual auras), evaluated in the Cleveland Clinic epilepsy monitoring unit between 1989 and 2005, were studied. RESULTS Thirty-one patients experienced multiple aura types during a seizure. Ninety percent of patients with at least two aura types (n = 31) and 100% percent of patients with at least three aura types (n = 12) had seizures arising from the right/nondominant hemisphere. EEG seizures remained restricted in all patients during their auras. nineteen [corrected] patients had epilepsy surgery with seizure freedom in 53%. Subdural EEG recordings in six patients showed either a march of sequential auras, or in one case, several ictal onset zones resulting in separate isolated auras. Ictal SPECT in six patients with right-sided seizures showed a lack of activation in brainstem structures. CONCLUSIONS Most patients who report multiple aura types have localized epilepsy in the nondominant hemisphere, and are good surgical candidates. A common mechanism for multiple auras may be a spreading but restricted EEG seizure activating sequential symptomatogenic zones, but without the ictal activation of deeper structures or contralateral spread to cause loss of awareness and amnesia for the auras.

Abstract
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is the clinical triad of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia and acute renal failure. Cases not associated with a preceding Shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli are described as atypical HUS (aHUS). Approximately 50% of patients with aHUS have mutations in one of three complement regulatory proteins, Factor H (CFH), membrane cofactor protein (MCP;CD46) or factor I (IF). A common feature of these three proteins is that they regulate complement by cofactor activity. Decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55) regulates the complement system by disassociating the alternative and classical pathway convertases. Like CFH and MCP, the gene for DAF lies within the regulators of complement activation (RCA) gene cluster at 1q32. In 1998, we described linkage to this region in families with aHUS which led to the discovery of mutations in CFH and MCP. We therefore genotyped DAF in a panel of 46 aHUS patients including families with linkage to the RCA cluster. A mutation, I197V, was identified in one patient with familial HUS which was not found in 100 healthy controls. Molecular modelling of this mutation shows that the I197V mutation does not reside in an area which would be predicted to be important in decay accelerating activity. The expression of I197V on EBV-transformed B lymphocytes was equivalent to that of wild type controls. There was no significant decrease in decay acceleration activity of the recombinantly produced I197V mutant compared with wild type, as measured by a complement-mediated lytic assay. In conclusion, this study, identifies only one mutation in DAF in 46 patients with aHUS. This mutation, I197V, does not impair complement regulation and cannot be implicated in the pathogenesis of aHUS in this patient. This suggests that the complement regulatory abnormality in aHUS is principally one of deficient cofactor activity rather than of decay acceleration activity.

Abstract
AIM Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is not generally acknowledged as a perioperative risk factor. High incidence of Sleep disordered breathing has been noticed in patients with cardiovascular disease. The Sleep Heart Health Research Study Group found Apnea-Hypopnea indices (AHI) as modest as 1-10 to be associated with cardiovascular disease manifestations. Given the lack of data we chose to study the incremental risk of OSA in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS We looked at 25 587 patients who underwent cardiac surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. Of these, 37 patients were also identified on the Cleveland Clinic Sleep center database as having OSA. Each of these 37 cases were propensity matched for multiple covariates with 5 controls within a distance of 0.001 units. An assumption was made that if the surgery was performed within two years of the diagnosis of OSA, the patient had OSA at the time of the surgery. RESULTS Higher incidence of encephalopathy (p=0.008), postoperative infection (0.028) and increased ICU length of stay (p=0.031) were noted in the group with OSA after cardiac surgery. The difference in the rates of infection was mostly accounted for by the presence of mediastinitis (8.1% vs 1.6%). Differences in the rates of reintubation, tube time, and overall postoperative morbidity were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS | Increased risk for postoperative complications is suggested in patients with OSA undergoing cardiac surgery. This risk is underestimated on account of lack of awareness about the incidence of OSA in the general population and the cardiovascular population in particular, difficulties in clinical suspicion and diagnosis and limited use of polysomnography.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The cochlea may be damaged by modern conventional radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancers when the ear is included in the radiation field. It is unclear however, if the retro-cochlear auditory pathways are affected as well, which has clinical significance in cochlear implantation. This study aims to investigate the integrity of the retro-cochlear auditory pathways in patients who had received RT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS Patients who were newly diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and treated by RT alone were studied. Evoked response audiometry and PTAs were carried out prior to and after RT (at 3, 18, and 48 months postRT). In addition, evoked response audiometry was also performed during the 3rd, 5th, and 7th week of RT. Waves 1 to 5, 1 to 3, and 3 to 5 latencies were measured. The values recorded during and postRT were compared with those recorded before RT. In addition, a subset of ears that demonstrated postRT sensorineural hearing loss were identified so that their respective wave 1 to 5 interwave latencies could be similarly compared. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used in the statistical analysis. To confirm that the cochlea and internal auditory meatus receive significant doses of radiation, the RT treatment plans of nine other nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated by the same RT technique were analyzed to derive dose-volume histograms of these structures. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients (20 males and 7 females) with a mean age of 51.2 (range 36-75) years participated in the study. There was no statistically significant difference in waves 1 to 5, 1 to 3, and 3 to 5 interwave latencies recorded during RT and postRT as compared with those recorded before RT (P > .05). Pre- and postRT wave 1 to 5 latencies of the 16 ears that had postRT hearing deterioration were also not statistically significant (P = .366). The mean radiation doses delivered to the cochlea and internal auditory meatus ranged from 24.1 to 62.2 Gy and 14.4 to 43.4 Gy, respectively. CONCLUSION This study suggests in patients who have had RT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the retro-cochlear auditory pathways are functionally intact even in the longer term.
