Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical implications of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in patients with locally advanced but resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain largely unexplored. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with resectable HNSCC were randomized to receive a single dose of preoperative durvalumab (D) with or without tremelimumab (T) before resection, followed by postoperative (chemo)radiotherapy based on multidisciplinary discretion and 1-year D treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spatial distribution analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and high-dimensional profiling of circulating immune cells tracked dynamic intratumoral and systemic immune responses. RESULTS Of the 48 patients enrolled (D, 24 patients; D+T, 24 patients), 45 underwent surgical resection per protocol (D, 21 patients; D+T, 24 patients). D±T had a favorable safety profile and did not delay surgery. Distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) was significantly better in patients treated with D+T than in those treated with D monotherapy. AI-powered whole-slide image analysis demonstrated that D+T significantly reshaped the tumor microenvironment toward immune-inflamed phenotypes, in contrast with the D monotherapy or cytotoxic chemotherapy. High-dimensional profiling of circulating immune cells revealed a significant expansion of T-cell subsets characterized by proliferation and activation in response to D+T therapy, which was rare following D monotherapy. Importantly, expansion of specific clusters in CD8+ T cells and non-regulatory CD4+ T cells with activation and exhaustion programs was associated with prolonged DRFS in patients treated with D+T. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative D±T is feasible and may benefit patients with resectable HNSCC. Distinct changes in the tumor microenvironment and circulating immune cells were induced by each treatment regimen, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The relationship between assisted reproductive techniques (ART) and the risk of asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) is controversial. Thus, we aimed to investigate the relationship between ART and the risk of asthma and AR in a nationwide, large-scale birth cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study utilized the National Health Insurance Service data in South Korea to conduct a nationwide, large-scale, population-based birth cohort. We included all infants born between 2017 and 2018. AR, asthma, food allergies, and atopic dermatitis were defined using the International Classification of Diseases tenth edition codes. Asthma was classified as allergic or non-allergic based on accompanying allergic diseases (AR, food allergy, or atopic dermatitis). Using 1:10 propensity score matching, we compared infants conceived through ART with those conceived naturally (non-ART). After matching, logistic regression was used to compare the hazard ratio for asthma and AR between the two groups. RESULTS We included 543,178 infants [male infants, 280,194 (51.38%)]. After matching, 8,925 and 74,229 infants were selected for the ART and non-ART groups, respectively. The ART group showed a decreased risk of asthma in the offspring [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 0.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.41-0.48]. Similarly, for AR, being conceived by ART was associated with a decreased risk of AR (aHR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.12-0.37). ART offspring showed a decreased risk of asthma and AR in offspring compared to that observed in non-ART offspring. CONCLUSIONS Our study offers important insights for clinicians, researchers, and parents regarding the health outcomes of ART-conceived infants and enhances our understanding of ART's impact on respiratory health.

Abstract
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) affect gut microbiota during neonatal development, particularly with respect to the immune system. Bovine milk-based infant formulas have low oligosaccharide contents. Thus, efforts to fortify infant formulas with HMO are being undertaken. Two major HMO, 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL), exert anti-inflammatory effects; however, the associations between anti-inflammatory effects induced by 2'-FL and 6'-SL co-treatment and gut microbiota composition and metabolite modulation remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effects of a mixture of these HMO. To determine the optimal HMO ratio for anti-inflammatory effects and elucidate its mode of action, LPS-induced inflammatory HT-29 epithelial cells and intestinal inflamed suckling mice were treated with various mixtures of 2'-FL and 6'-SL. 2'-FL:6'-SL ratio of 5:1 was identified as the most effective pre-treatment HMO mixture in vitro; thus, this ratio was selected and used for low, middle, and high-dose treatments for subsequent in vivo studies. In vivo, high-dose HMO treatment restored LPS-induced inflammation symptoms, such as body weight loss, colon length reduction, histological structural damage, and intestinal gene expression related to inflammatory responses. High-dose HMO was the only treatment that modulated the major phyla Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes and the genera Ihubacter, Mageeibacillus, and Saccharofermentans. These changes in microbial composition were correlated with intestinal inflammation-related gene expression and short-chain fatty acid production. To our knowledge, our study is the first to report the effects of Ihubacter, Mageeibacillus, and Saccharofermentans on short chain fatty acid levels, which can subsequently affect inflammatory cytokine and tight junction protein levels. Conclusively, the HMO mixture exerted anti-inflammatory effects through changes in microbiota and metabolite production. These findings suggested that supplementation of infant formula with HMO may benefit formula-fed infants by forming unique microbiota contributing to neonatal development.

Abstract
Locally advanced laryngeal cancers treatment often involves total laryngectomy, which some patients are unwilling to undergo, even if this choice reduces their survival probability. Therefore, the objective of laryngeal oncologic surgery is not only to remove the tumor, but also to preserve the organ and its functions. To overcome these concerns, several partial laryngectomy techniques have been developed. This article describes the surgical technique and a case study of a 64-year-old male patient with locally advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent vertical partial laryngectomy extending to the subglottis and hypopharynx using transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with a da Vinci Single Port surgical robot. The video and article provide a detailed description of the surgical technique, which resulted in successful tumor removal with excellent oncological and functional outcomes.

Abstract
Gyrokinetic simulations of the fishbone instability in DIII-D tokamak plasmas find that self-generated zonal flows can dominate the nonlinear saturation by preventing coherent structures from persisting or drifting in the energetic particle phase space when the mode frequency down-chirps. Results from the simulation with zonal flows agree quantitatively, for the first time, with experimental measurements of the fishbone saturation amplitude and energetic particle transport. Moreover, the fishbone-induced zonal flows are likely responsible for the formation of an internal transport barrier that was observed after fishbone bursts in this DIII-D experiment. Finally, gyrokinetic simulations of a related ITER baseline scenario show that the fishbone induces insignificant energetic particle redistribution and may enable high performance scenarios in ITER burning plasma experiments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recently developed da Vinci single-port (SP) system offers potential advantages in maneuverability within narrower surgical spaces. This study aims to compare intra- and post-operative outcomes, technical advantages, and limitations of transoral resections using the da Vinci SP and da Vinci Xi systems for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study included patients with OPSCC who underwent transoral robotic surgery (TORS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). Data on pre-operative variables, intraoperative data, postoperative complications, and functional outcomes were collected. RESULTS A total of 209 patients (males: 175; mean age: 59.0 ± 9.3) were included (SP: n = 136; Xi: n = 73). A significantly lower docking time was measured for the SP group (5.7 ± 2.5 min vs. 10.0 ± 4.4 min; p <.001). Similarly, the console time was reduced for the SP group though not reaching statistical significance (76.3 ± 30.7 min vs. 88.1 ± 36.9 min; p =.06). A greater proportion of patients showed wide negative resection margins in the SP group (71 % vs. 56 %; p =.10), although not statistically significant. No significant differences were observed in complication rates or postoperative functional outcomes. DISCUSSION This study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the da Vinci SP system in oropharyngeal surgery, with potential advantages in terms of reduced docking and console times. The findings suggest that the SP system offers improved maneuverability and instrument placement compared to the da Vinci Xi system.

METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed, including 198 patients (mean age: 58.6, SD: 9.2). The primary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS The median follow-up time was 26.5 months (IQR: 16.0-52.0). Estimated DFS rates (95 % CI) at 1 and 3 years were 86.6 % (81.9-91.7), and 81.4 % (75.7-87.6), respectively. Estimated DSS rates (95 % CI) at 1 and 3 years were 96.7 % (94.1-99.3), and 92.6 % (88.4-97.0), respectively. Estimated OS rates (95 % CI) at 1 and 3 years were 96.2 % (93.4-99.0), and 88.7 % (83.4-94.2), respectively. A total of 31 (15.6 %) patients showed a disease relapse after a median time of 8 months (IQR: 4.0-12.0), but only 12 (6 %) patients died of the disease during the study period. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that NCT and TORS can obtain excellent tumor control and survival in locoregionally advanced OPSCC. NCT might reduce the need for adjuvant treatments, and randomized clinical trials should be conducted to better define this aspect.

Abstract
We search for energetic electron recoil signals induced by boosted dark matter (BDM) from the galactic center using the COSINE-100 array of NaI(Tl) crystal detectors at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory. The signal would be an excess of events with energies above 4 MeV over the well-understood background. Because no excess of events are observed in a 97.7 kg·yr exposure, we set limits on BDM interactions under a variety of hypotheses. Notably, we explored the dark photon parameter space, leading to competitive limits compared to direct dark photon search experiments, particularly for dark photon masses below 4 MeV and considering the invisible decay mode. Furthermore, by comparing our results with a previous BDM search conducted by the Super-Kamionkande experiment, we found that the COSINE-100 detector has advantages in searching for low-mass dark matter. This analysis demonstrates the potential of the COSINE-100 detector to search for MeV electron recoil signals produced by the dark sector particle interactions.

Abstract
Genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF or BAF ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex are among the most enriched for deleterious de novo mutations in intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder, but the causative molecular pathways are not fully known 1,2 . Synaptic activity in neurons is critical for learning and memory and proper neural development 3 . Neural activity prompts calcium influx and transcription within minutes, facilitated in the nucleus by various transcription factors (TFs) and chromatin modifiers 4 . While BAF is required for activity-dependent developmental processes such as dendritic outgrowth 5-7 , the immediate molecular consequences of neural activity on BAF complexes and their functions are unknown. Here we mapped minute-scale biochemical consequences of neural activity, modeled by membrane depolarization of embryonic mouse primary cortical neurons, on BAF complexes. We used acute chemical perturbations of BAF ATPase activity and kinase signaling to define the activity-dependent effects on BAF complexes and activity-dependent BAF functions. Our studies found that BAF complexes change in subunit composition and are selectively phosphorylated within 10 minutes of depolarization. Increased levels of the core PBAF subunit Baf200/ Arid2 , uniquely containing an RFX-like DNA-binding domain, are concurrent with ATPase-dependent opening of chromatin at RFX/X-box motifs. Changes in BAF composition and phosphorylation lead to the regulation of chromatin accessibility for critical neurogenesis TFs. These biochemical effects are a convergent phenomenon downstream of multiple growth factor signaling pathways in mouse neurons and fibroblasts suggesting that BAF integrates signaling information from the membrane. In support of such a membrane-to-nucleus signaling cascade, we also identified a BAF-interacting kinase, Dclk2, whose inhibition attenuates BAF phosphorylation selectively. Our findings support a direct role of BAF complexes in responding to synaptic activity to regulate TF binding and transcription.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the posterior pharyngeal wall (PPW) is associated with poor oncological outcomes based on current literature data. We reported the preliminary outcomes of a potential new treatment protocol based on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS). METHODS A retrospective single-center case series was performed including a total of 20 patients diagnosed with a SCC of the PPW between October 2010 and September 2021. All patients successfully completed TORS with neck dissection after NCT. Adjuvant treatment was performed in the presence of adverse pathologic features. Loco-regional control (LRC), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) were defined as the time from surgery to tumor recurrence or death, as appropriate. Survival estimates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Surgical data and post-operative functional outcomes were also reported. RESULTS Estimated 3-year LRC, OS, and DSS rates (95% Confidence interval) were 59.7% (39.7-89.6), 58.6% (38.7-88.8), and 69.4% (49.9-96.6). The median hospital stay was 21 days (IQR 17.0-23.5). Oral diet and decannulation were achieved after a median of 14 days (IQR 12.0-15.0). Feeding tube and tracheostomy dependence after 6 months was observed in 3 (15%) and 2 (10%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The use of NCT followed by TORS for PPW SCC treatment appears to have good oncological and functional outcomes for both early and locally advanced cancers. Further randomized trials and site-specific guidelines are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We analyzed the difference in treatment results according to safety margin range and studied the role of adjuvant therapy in patients with human papillomavirus-positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 279 patients with HPV+ OPSCC were included in this study. RESULTS Surgical margin and T classification were significant prognostic factors related to death. The difference in locoregional recurrence was analyzed by dividing the safety margin into groups of <1, 1-5, and >5 mm. There was no significant difference in local-regional recurrence for T1-T2 lesions between the three groups. Adjuvant therapy can significantly reduce disease recurrence in HPV+ OPSCC patients with risk factors. CONCLUSIONS In T1-T2 lesions without other risk factors, even with a safety margin ≥1 mm, adjuvant therapy can potentially be omitted. Adjuvant therapy can significantly reduce disease recurrence in HPV+ OPSCC patients with risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Da Vinci single port (SP) has been recently approved for transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Its characteristics make it particularly feasible for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal surgery. We report our experience comparing intra- and postoperative outcomes, technical advantages, and shortcomings of transoral laryngeal and hypopharyngeal resections performed with the da Vinci SP and the da Vinci Si/Xi systems. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database review. SETTING Single academic tertiary care hospital. METHODS Subjects included adult patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma who underwent TORS between 2008 and 2022. The SP and multiport (MP) systems were compared in terms of intraoperative times, short-term postoperative outcomes, and TORS-related complications after a propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 185 patients were enrolled (56 SP vs 129 MP patients), and a cohort of 112 patients was analyzed after matching. The docking time was reduced in the SP group (8.84 ± 4.67 vs 6.45 ± 3.11 minutes; p = .003), as well as console time (53.91 ± 29.38 vs 42.70 ± 13.72 minutes; p = .035). Positive margins were more frequent in the MP group (52% vs 43%; p = .34). The mean decannulation time was 1.86 days longer in the SP group (p = .046). No significant differences emerged from the analysis of the duration of hospitalization, enteral feeding, and TORS-related complications. CONCLUSION SP safety profile is comparable to that of previous models, while it showed advantages in terms of reduced docking times. Console times were also shortened due to improved maneuverability and field visualization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Indications for elective treatment of the neck in patients with major salivary gland cancers are still debated. Our purpose was to develop a machine learning (ML) model able to generate a predictive algorithm to identify lymph node metastases (LNM) in patients with major salivary gland cancer (SGC). METHODS A Retrospective study was performed with data obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Patients diagnosed with a major SGC between 1988 and 2019 were included. Two 2-class supervised ML decision models (random forest, RF; extreme gradient boosting, XGB) were used to predict the presence of LNM, implementing thirteen demographics and clinical variables collected from the SEER database. A permutation feature importance (PFI) score was computed using the testing dataset to identify the most important variables used in model prediction. RESULTS A total of 10 350 patients (males: 52%; mean age: 59.9 ± 17.2 years) were included in the study. The RF and the XGB prediction models showed an overall accuracy of 0.68. Both models showed a high specificity (RF: 0.90; XGB: 0.83) and low sensitivity (RF: 0.27; XGB: 0.38) in identifying LNM. According, a high negative predictive value (RF: 0.70; XGB: 0.72) and a low positive predictive value (RF: 0.58; XGB: 0.56) were measured. T classification and tumor size were the most important features in the construction of the prediction algorithms. CONCLUSIONS Classification performance of the ML algorithms showed high specificity and negative predictive value that allow to preoperatively identify patients with a lower risk of LNM. LAY SUMMARY Based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, our study showed that machine learning algorithms owns a high specificity and negative predictive value, allowing to preoperatively identify patients with a lower risk of lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has renovated the surgical management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), allowing a minimally invasive surgical approach with optimal oncological outcomes. The recent introduction of the da Vinci Single Port (SP) system resulted in a considerable improvement of TORS technique. METHODS In this video, we illustrate the transoral robotic lateral oropharyngectomy performed with the da Vinci SP system in a 50-year-old male patient suffering from a p16+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cT4N1M0. RESULTS The transoral robotic lateral oropharyngectomy is illustrated step by step. The structures encountered during the resection are described, and the surgical margins are defined based on anatomical landmarks. The most critical regions encountered during resection are pointed out, and the tip and tricks of this surgery are reported. CONCLUSIONS A step-by-step transoral lateral oropharyngectomy is described to increase its reproducibility. The da Vinci SP system owns various benefits for performing transoral lateral oropharyngectomy due to the increased maneuverability in the narrower oral cavity working spaces.

Abstract
We report the direct observation of muon neutrino interactions with the SND@LHC detector at the Large Hadron Collider. A dataset of proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13.6 TeV collected by SND@LHC in 2022 is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.8 fb^{-1}. The search is based on information from the active electronic components of the SND@LHC detector, which covers the pseudorapidity region of 7.2<η<8.4, inaccessible to the other experiments at the collider. Muon neutrino candidates are identified through their charged-current interaction topology, with a track propagating through the entire length of the muon detector. After selection cuts, 8 ν_{μ} interaction candidate events remain with an estimated background of 0.086 events, yielding a significance of about 7 standard deviations for the observed ν_{μ} signal.

Abstract
PURPOSE To define if positive and close surgical margins are associated to worse prognosis in patients who underwent transoral robotic surgery (TORS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was carried out at a tertiary referral center. The primary outcome was local-regional control (LRC), and the results were summarized with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 308 patients (median age: 62.0, IQR: 55.0-68.2) were included. Univariable analysis showed a significant reduced LRC for patients with positive margins (HR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.02-3.24). However, they were not associated with worse LRC after adjusting for adverse tumor variables (HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.40-1.65). ROC analysis was performed on 123 patients with negative margins (AUC: 0.54) measuring an optimal threshold of 1.25 mm (sensitivity = 60.0%; specificity = 50.5%). Univariable analysis showed non-significant differences between close and wide negative margins (HR = 1.44, 95% CI: 0.59-3.54). CONCLUSIONS A positive surgical margin is not an independent predictor of tumor control and survival. A threshold of 1.25 mm was identified as the most appropriate to define close margins, but no difference was measured after distinguishing negative margins in close and wide margins.

Abstract
The β-delayed proton decay of ^{13}O has previously been studied, but the direct observation of β-delayed 3αp decay has not been reported. Rare 3αp events from the decay of excited states in ^{13}N^{⋆} provide a sensitive probe of cluster configurations in ^{13}N. To measure the low-energy products following β-delayed 3αp decay, the Texas Active Target (TexAT) time projection chamber was employed using the one-at-a-time β-delayed charged-particle spectroscopy technique at the Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University. A total of 1.9×10^{5} ^{13}O implantations were made inside the TexAT time projection chamber. A total of 149 3αp events were observed, yielding a β-delayed 3αp branching ratio of 0.078(6)%. Four previously unknown α-decaying excited states were observed in ^{13}N at 11.3, 12.4, 13.1, and 13.7 MeV decaying via the 3α+p channel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the oncological and functional outcomes of patients with stage III-IV laryngo-hypopharyngeal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with subsequent transoral robotic surgery (TORS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study included a total of 100 patients (median age of 67.0) affected by stage III-IV supraglottic or hypopharyngeal cancer. All patients underwent NAC followed by TORS and risk-adjusted adjuvant therapy. The primary outcome was recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS The median follow-up time was 24.0 months. Estimated 2-year (95% CI) OS, DSS, and RFS were 75% (66% - 85%), 84% (76% - 92%), and 65% (56% - 76%), respectively. Among the 11 patients who relapsed on the primary site, 3 underwent salvage total laryngectomy, 3 underwent salvage CRT, and the others receive palliation or supportive care. At 6 months from surgery, 17 patients were still tracheostomized or had a stoma retainer, while 15 were gastrostomy dependent. At the Cox multivariable analysis, the clinical stage at presentation, the number of NAC cycles, and the presence of LVI were found to be independently correlated with the RFS. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that NAC followed by TORS can obtain good tumor control, survival, and organ preservation rates in stage III-IV laryngo-hypopharyngeal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop machine learning (ML) models for predicting positive margins in patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS). METHODS Data from 453 patients with laryngeal, hypopharyngeal, and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were retrospectively collected at a tertiary referral center to train (n = 316) and validate (n = 137) six two-class supervised ML models employing 14 variables available pre-operatively. RESULTS The accuracy of the six ML models ranged between 0.67 and 0.75, while the measured AUC between 0.68 and 0.75. The ML algorithms showed high specificity (range: 0.75-0.89) and low sensitivity (range: 0.26-0.64) in detecting patients with positive margins after TORS. NPV was higher (range: 0.73-0.83) compared to PPV (range: 0.45-0.63). T classification and tumor site were the most important predictors of positive surgical margins. CONCLUSIONS ML algorithms can identify patients with low risk of positive margins and therefore amenable to TORS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No consensus exists regarding the most effective reconstruction after total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy (TLwPP). This study aims to compare different reconstructive techniques (pectoralis major myo-cutaneous flap, PMMCF; anterolateral thigh flap, ALTF; radial forearm free flap, RFFF) after TLwPP in terms of pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF), stenosis and feeding tube dependence (FTD) incidence. METHODS The Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched. A single-arm meta-analysis was performed for PCF incidence, stenosis incidence, and FTD incidence on the entire cohort. An arm-based network analysis was conducted to compare three different surgical interventions (PMMCF, ALTF, RFFF). RESULTS A total of 13 studies and 232 patients were included in the network meta-analysis. The lowest PCF absolute risk was measured for the RFFF (11.7%, 95% CI: 2.8%-33.4%), compared to the ALTF (13.4%, 95% CI: 4.5%-32.1%) and the PMMC (49.0%, 95% CI: 19.2%-79.3%). The RFFF showed a stenosis absolute risk of 0.0% (95% CI: 0.0%-1.1%), while a higher stenosis incidence was measured for the ALTF (5.7%, 95% CI: 0.8%-25.2%) and the PMMCF (11.6%, 95% CI: 0.8%-55.1%). The RFFF showed the lowest absolute risk of FTD incidence (6.8%, 95% CI: 0.5%-28.1%) compared to the other reconstructive techniques (PMMCF: 12.4%, 95% CI: 2.4%-42.1%; ALTF: 17.5%, 95% CI: 6.4%-38.9%). CONCLUSIONS The RFFF seems the best choice for reconstruction of partial pharyngeal defects after TLwPP due to the lower incidence of PCF, stenosis and FTD compared to the ALTF and the PMMCF.

Abstract
Lymph node (LN) metastasis is an important factor in determining the treatment and prognosis of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Here, we compared the somatic mutational profiles and clonal evolution of primary and metastatic LNs using multiregion sequencing of human papilloma virus (HPV)-positive OPSCC and HPV-negative OPSCC. We performed high-depth whole-exome sequencing (200×) of 76 samples from 18 patients with OPSCC (10 HPV-positive and 8 HPV-negative), including 18 primary tumor samples, 40 metastatic LN samples, and 18 normal tissue samples. Among 40 metastatic LNs, 22 showed extranodal extension (ENE). Mutation profiles of HPV-positive OPSCC and HPV-negative OPSCC were similar to those reported previously. Somatic mutations in CDKN2A and TP53 were frequently detected in HPV-negative OPSCC. Somatic mutations in HPV-positive OPSCC samples showed APOBEC-related signatures. Somatic mutations from metastatic LNs showed a different pattern than the primary tumor. Somatic mutations acquired in the WNT pathway during metastasis showed a significant relationship with ENE. Clonal evolution analysis of primary and metastatic LNs showed that, in some cases, each metastatic LN originated from a different primary tumor sub-clone.

Objectives
Conflicting results regarding sex-based differences in the outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients have been reported. Furthermore, no study has examined whether differences in in-hospital interventions and courses are driven by sex differences. This study evaluated the effect of sex on the in-hospital course of these patients as well as the survival rates and long-term neurological outcomes of comatose OHCA patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM).
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry composed of data collected from 22 hospitals in Korea between October 2015 and December 2018. To evaluate the effect of sex on patient outcomes, we created various multivariate logistic regression models including baseline characteristics, resuscitation, and in-hospital care variables with an interaction term (age × sex). We also performed a stratified analysis of different age groups (less than 50 years of age and older). Regarding the difference in in-hospital courses, we compared daily total and SOFA sub-scores between the sexes and analyzed whether the decision regarding early cardiac interventions and limitations in in-hospital care were associated with sex.
Results
Among 1339 patients included in the study, 952 were men and 387 were women. There were no differences in age or modified comorbidity index values between the gender groups. Women were more likely to experience cardiac arrest at home and unwitnessed arrests, whereas men were more likely to have shockable initial rhythm, cardiac cause arrest, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on initial electrocardiography and undergo early coronary interventions. The rate of survival to discharge was similar, but men showed better 6-month neurological outcomes. After adjusting for confounders, the male sex was not associated with survival to discharge or good 6-month neurological outcomes. There was no association between sex and outcome in patients of reproductive age and no interaction between age and sex. Regarding the in-hospital course, the daily total and SOFA sub-scores were similar in both sexes. The adjusted effect of sex was not associated with the clinician’s decision to perform early cardiac interventions. The decision to discontinue life-sustaining treatment was determined by poor prognostic factors, not by sex.
Conclusions
The findings suggested that men had more favorable 6-month survivals and good neurological outcomes compared to women since they had more favorable resuscitation variables. However, after adjusting for confounders, there was no difference between the sexes. This result was consistent with the data in patients of reproductive age. The results regarding in-hospital course showed that daily patient severity scores, early cardiac interventions, resource consumption, and the rates of withdrawal/withholding of in-hospital care were similar in men and women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute low back pain (LBP) is a common condition that can be chronic if not properly treated. Aceclofenac and eperisone hydrochloride are commonly prescribed drugs for acute LBP and muscle spasms. Therefore, NVP-1203, a fixed-dose combination of 100 mg aceclofenac and 75 mg eperisone hydrochloride, is being developed. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NVP-1203 compared to those of a single administration of 100 mg aceclofenac in patients with acute LBP and muscle spasms. PATIENTS AND METHODS Overall, 455 patients with acute LBP and muscle spasms were enrolled. The patients were assigned to NVP-1203 or Airtal group (aceclofenac 100 mg). The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change in the 100 mm pain movement and resting visual analog scale (VAS) scores on treatment day 7. RESULTS The mean change in the 100 mm pain movement/resting VAS scores from baseline to day 7 was -49.7 ± 21.5/-41.0 ± 19.4 mm and -38.8 ± 18.9/-33.8 ± 18.0 mm for the NVP-1203 and Airtal groups, respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (movement, p < 0.0001; resting, p = 0.0002). Differences in least-square (LS) mean change of the 100 mm pain movement/resting VAS score between the two groups using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model was -10.2/-7.4 mm, and the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval was -6.44/-4.16 mm. CONCLUSIONS NVP-1203 is more effective in reducing pain than the 100 mg aceclofenac alone. However, the two drugs have similar safety profiles in patients with acute LBP and muscle spasms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful cryopreservation of bovine oocytes is very important for research and commercial applications. However, the survival and development rate of vitrified-thawed (VT) oocytes are lower than those of non-vitrified-thawed (non-VT) oocytes. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of adding hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) to the vitrification solution for bovine oocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS For vitrification, bovine metaphase II oocytes were pretreated with a solution containing 10% ethylene glycol supplemented with 0, 10, 50, or 100 ug/mL HPC for 5 min, exposed to a solution containing 30% ethylene glycol supplemented with 0, 10, 50, or 100 ug/mL HPC for 30 s, and then directly plunged into liquid nitrogen. RESULTS The survival rate of oocytes was significantly higher in the 50 HPC group than in the 0, 10, and 100 HPC groups. The reactive oxygen species level was lower in the non-VT and 50 HPC groups than in the other groups. The mRNA levels of proapoptotic genes (Bax) were lower in the non-VT, 0, and 50 HPC groups than in the other groups. The mRNA levels of antiapoptotic genes (BCl2) were higher in the non-VT than in the other groups. The development rates of embryos (day 8) obtained via parthenogenetic activation (PA) were determined in the non-VT, 0 HPC, and 50 HPC groups. The cleavage rate was significantly higher in the non-VT group. CONCLUSION Supplementation of vitrification solution with HPC improves the survival of VT bovine oocytes and the development capacity of embryos derived from these oocytes via PA. doi.org/10.54680/fr23110110212.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive tonsil cancer has a better prognosis than HPV-negative tonsil cancer. Deintensification strategies to reduce or avoid radiotherapy (RT) for patients with HPV-associated tonsil cancer have been suggested. This study investigated the treatment outcomes of patients with HPV-associated tonsil cancer and suggested RT deintensification strategies. METHODS A cohort of 374 patients with HPV-associated tonsil cancer treated with primary surgery or RT between 2008 and 2020 was retrospectively evaluated. Survival and locoregional control rates after primary surgery or RT were analyzed, and propensity score matching was performed to adjust for clinical factors. Pearson's chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used to compare categorical variables, and Student's t-test was used to compare continuous variables. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to assess overall survival, progression-free survival, and locoregional failure (LRF). RESULTS No significant differences in survival or LRF were observed between the primary surgery and RT groups. Subgroup analysis was conducted for patients who underwent primary surgery. Advanced pathological N stage, negative contralateral nodes at diagnosis, abutting or positive surgical margins, and no adjuvant RT were independent risk factors for LRF. Advanced pathological T stage was an independent risk factor for LRF in patients who underwent primary surgery without subsequent adjuvant RT. None of the patients with pathological complete remission (CR) after induction chemotherapy died or experienced LRF. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that the outcomes of primary surgery and primary RT in HPV-positive tonsil cancer were similar after adjusting for clinical factors. Primary RT might be considered instead of surgery in patients with advanced pathological T stage. In the case of pathological CR after induction chemotherapy, deintensification for adjuvant RT should be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) is demonstrably effective in local control of head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma (HNACC), its application is controversial and the subset of patients who would benefit most from PORT is unknown. Herein, we analyzed the data of HNACC patients to clarify the role of PORT. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 187 patients with nonmetastatic HNACC who underwent surgical resection between 2005 and 2019. The study endpoints were locoregional failure-free survival (LRFFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Subgroup analysis and recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) were performed to identify patients most likely to benefit from PORT. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 84.7 months, the 5-year LRFFS, PFS, and OS were 70.0%, 52.6%, and 86.4%, respectively. Survival was significantly shorter in patients who experienced local failure than in those who did not (5-year OS: 88.1% vs. 80.5%, P = 0.001). The local failure rate was significantly lower in patients who underwent PORT (16.9% vs. 31.0%, P = 0.021), despite the high frequency of adverse factors. Especially, significant decreases in local failure and similar OS rates could be obtained after PORT among patients with positive margins, T2-4 stage disease, and minor salivary gland tumors. The RPA model for PFS categorized patients into four groups according to three prognostic factors (T-stage, location, and sex). The RPA model for LRFFS and OS suggested three groups based on two factors (T-stage, margin for LRFFS; T-stage, grade 3 for OS). CONCLUSION PORT could prevent dismal survival, while significantly reducing local failures in high-risk HNACC patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There has been a worrying rise in the number of people with dementia, especially with many of them also suffering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a disease with a high mortality rate.
Purpose
We evaluated the impact of dementia on the mortality of patients with AMI and how drug compliance affects this relationship.
Methods
The data were derived from National Health Insurance Service-Senior. The total number of patients diagnosed with AMI for the first time between 2007 and 2013 was 16,835, among whom 2,021 had dementia. Medication possession ratio (MPR) was used to assess medication adherence.
Results
AMI patients with dementia had unfavorable baseline characteristics; they had significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality (Hazard ratio [HR]: 2.49; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.34–2.66; P<0.001) and lower MPR (aspirin: 21.9% vs. 42.8%; P<0.001). AMI patients were stratified by presence of dementia and medication adherence, and the survival rate was the highest among those with no dementia and good adherence. followed by those with no dementia and poor adherence, those with dementia and good adherence, and those with dementia and poor adherence. The multivariable analysis revealed that dementia (HR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.53–1.75; P<0.001) and poor adherence to medication (HR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.49–1.71; P<0.001) had a significant association with all-cause mortality in AMI patients.
Conclusions
AMI patients with dementia have a higher mortality rate. Patients with dementia have poorer medication adherence than those without, negatively affecting their prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Robotic head and neck surgery is widespread nowadays. However, in the reconstruction field, the use of robotic operations is not. This article aimed to examine methodologies for conventional head and neck reconstruction after robotic tumor surgery in an effort to obtain further options for future reconstruction manipulations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of all patients who received head and neck robot surgery and conventional reconstructive surgery between October 2016 and September 2021. RESULTS In total, 53 cases were performed. 67.9% of the tumors were greater than 4 cm. Regarding defect size, 47.2% of the lesions were greater than 8 cm. In terms of TNM stage, stage 3 disease was recorded in 26.4% and stage 4 in 52.8%. To make a deep and narrow field wider, we changed the patient's posture in pre-op field, additional dissection was done. We used radial forearm flap mostly (62.2%). CONCLUSION Conventional head and neck reconstruction after robotic ENT cancer surgery is possible. One key step is to secure additional space in the deep and narrow space left after robotic surgery. For this, we opted for a radial forearm flap mostly. This can be performed as a bridgehead to perform robotic head and neck reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To reduce the door-to-puncture time, which is a prognostic factor for the clinical outcome after intra-arterial recanalization therapy, we established a prehospital telecommunication strategy between neurointerventionalists and emergency medical technicians, namely, the critical stroke call pathway. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical significance of the critical stroke call pathway by comparing the door-to-puncture time and clinical outcome of the critical stroke call pathway with those of the routine stroke pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2018 to June 2020, one hundred seventy-one patients with anterior circulation occlusion who underwent arterial recanalization therapy via the emergency department were included in this study. Patients were divided into the critical stroke call pathway group (n = 75, 43.9%) and the routine stroke pathway group (n = 96, 56.1%). RESULTS The critical stroke call pathway group exhibited a shorter door-to-puncture time than the routine stroke pathway group (median, 87 minutes; interquartile range, 63-107 minutes; P < .001). On multivariable analysis, a good clinical outcome (3-month mRS, 0-2) was independently associated with a shorter door-to-puncture time (adjusted OR, 0.998; adjusted 95% CI, 0.996-1.000; P = .027). In patients with an NIHSS score on admission of ≤11, an excellent clinical outcome (3-month mRS, 0-1) was more frequently achieved in the critical stroke call pathway group than in the routine stroke pathway group (22/33, 66.7%, versus 21/48, 43.8%; P = .042). CONCLUSIONS In our study, compared with the routine stroke pathway, the critical stroke call pathway remarkably reduced the door-to-puncture time for arterial recanalization therapy, with better clinical outcomes, especially in patients with a relatively good clinical status.

Abstract
6072 Background: Although PD-1 blockade has improved survival in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic HNSCC, safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy with PD-L1 inhibitor with or without CTLA-4 inhibitor has not been investigated. Here, we report the updated results of the safety and efficacy of a preoperative D with or without T (D+/-T) in patients with resectable HNSCC, accompanied with high dimensional profiling of circulating immune cells. Methods: Patients with locally advanced but resectable HNSCC were eligible. Enrolled patients were randomized into D or D+T, stratified by primary site and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection status. A single dose of preoperative D (1500mg) or D+T (1500mg+75mg) was administered, with surgery planned 2 to 8 weeks later for curative resection. Postoperative (chemo) radiation was prescribed based on standard guidelines, followed by maintenance with D every 4 weeks for 1 year. Dynamic changes in circulating immune cells were tracked with mass cytometry. The primary objective was to determine the local recurrence rate. Secondary endpoints included pathologic response, safety, survival outcome, and exploration of immune dynamics. Results: As of January 25th 2022 for the interim analysis, a total of 45 patients were completely enrolled and received surgical resection (D: 21 patients, D+T: 24 patients). Oropharyngeal cancer was most common (n = 23; 51.1%) and HPV-mediated cancer was observed in 20 patients (44.4%). Neoadjuvant D+/-T had acceptable safety profiles and was not associated with delays in surgery or unexpected adverse events. Tumor shrinkage was observed in 31 patients (68.9%), with 15.6% of average tumor shrinkage (range; 100.0% to -80.0%). Major pathologic response (no more than 10% of viable tumor cells) was achieved in 3 patients (6.7%), including 2 cases with pathologic complete response (4.4%). During median follow-up duration of 407 days after surgery, local recurrence and systemic recurrence were documented in 9 patients (20.0%) and 7 patients (15.6%), respectively. Median disease-free survival and overall survival was 910 days and not reached, respectively. High dimensional immune profiling with mass cytometry revealed that D+T disproportionally increased the frequency of regulatory T cells accompanied with the upregulation of their functional markers, which was absent in patients treated with D monotherapy. Conclusions: These updated data suggested that preoperative D+/-T was safe and feasible and had the potential to provide clinical benefits for patients with resectable HNSCC. Distinct immunologic changes in circulating immune cells were induced by each treatment regimen, warranting further investigation. The trial is ongoing and the updated outcomes with immune correlates will be presented in this ASCO. Clinical trial information: NCT03737968.

Abstract
The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson was the last missing component of the model. After observation of the Higgs boson, a measurement of the W boson mass provides a stringent test of the model. We measure the W boson mass, MW, using data corresponding to 8.8 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a 1.96 tera-electron volt center-of-mass energy with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A sample of approximately 4 million W boson candidates is used to obtain [Formula: see text], the precision of which exceeds that of all previous measurements combined (stat, statistical uncertainty; syst, systematic uncertainty; MeV, mega-electron volts; c, speed of light in a vacuum). This measurement is in significant tension with the standard model expectation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe adverse drug reaction generally accompanied by skin manifestations as the first and most frequent symptoms. However, skin manifestations and associated clinical features of DRESS have not been fully explored and evaluated. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe the skin manifestations of DRESS in detail and analyze their association with demographic characteristics and extra-cutaneous clinical features. METHODS We conducted this retrospective study on patients with DRESS diagnosed between September 2009 and August 2021 at three medical institutes and validated using the RegiSCAR score. Data regarding demographics, skin manifestations, and clinical characteristics were retrieved through thorough chart reviews. RESULTS Among 182 potential cases of DRESS, the validated 125 cases were analyzed. A widespread rash extending over more than 50% of the body surface area was observed in 122 patients (97.6%) and typical facial edema was experienced by 67 patients (53.6%). Polymorphous maculopapules were the most common rash morphology (106, 84.8%): specifically, exfoliative (59, 47.2%), urticarial (57, 45.6%), and purpuric forms (39, 31.2%) were common. Mucosal involvement was observed in 41 patients (32.8%). Patients with carboxamide antiepileptics (carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine) experienced more edema (P = .014) and typical facial edema than those with allopurinol (P = .021). The RegiSCAR score was higher in patients with purpura (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Skin manifestations of DRESS exhibit a wide range of skin lesions and can vary according to the culprit drugs. Early suspicion and prompt intervention are needed to improve prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Da Vinci® Single Port (dvSP) was recently developed. Its application in colorectal surgery is under investigation. The aim of this study was to explore the safety and feasibility of dvSP for intersphincteric (dvSP-ISR), right colectomy (dvSP-RC), and transverse colectomy (dvSP-TC). Surgical indication and short-term results were analyzed. METHODS All consecutive patients from a prospective database of patients who underwent dvSP-ISR, dvSP-RC, and dvSP-TC at Korea University Anam Hospital from November 2020 to December 2021, were analyzed. Perioperative, pathological, and oncological short-term outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 7 dvSP-ISR, 5 dvSP-RC, and 1 dvSP-TC were performed. Median age was 56.0 (55.0-61.0) years for the dvSP-ISR and 54.0 (44.7-63.5) years for the dvSP-RC/TC. Median body mass index was 22.8 (17.1-24.8) kg/m2 for the dvSP-ISR and 23.6 (20.8-26.9) kg/m2 for the dvSP-RC/TC. All dvSP-ISR patients received neoadjuvant long-course chemoradiotherapy, including one patient with squamocellular carcinoma who was treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/mitomycin. All other patients, excluding one dvSP-RC patient with Crohn's disease, had an adenocarcinoma. Median operation time was 280 (240-370) minutes for the dvSP-ISR and 220 (201-270) minutes for the dvSP-RC/TC. Estimated blood loss was insignificant. No intraoperative complications or conversions to multiport/open surgery was reported. Median post-operative stay was 7.0 (6.0-10.0) days for the dvSP-ISR and 5.0 (4.0-6.7) days for the dvSP-RC/TC. Quality of mesorectum was complete for six patients, and nearly complete for one. Median number of retrieved lymph nodes were 21 (17-25) for the dvSP-ISR and 28 (24-49) for the dvSP-RC/TC. Proximal and distal resection margins were tumor free. Four patients experienced post-operative complications not related to the platform which were: ileus, voiding dysfunction, infected pelvic hematoma, and wound infection. Median follow-up was 9 (6-11) months and 11 (7-17) months for the dvSP-ISR and dvSP-RC/TC, respectively. Two patients had systemic recurrence; all others were tumor free. CONCLUSIONS The dvSP platform is safe and feasible for intersphincteric resection with right lower quadrant access, and right/transverse colectomy with suprapubic access. Further studies are needed to evaluate benefit differences compared to multiport robotic platform.

Abstract
The differential cross sections of the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction were measured accurately for the Σ^{-} momentum (p_{Σ}) ranging from 470 to 650 MeV/c at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility. Precise angular information about the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction was obtained for the first time by detecting approximately 100 reaction events at each angular step of Δcosθ=0.1. The obtained differential cross sections show a slightly forward-peaking structure in the measured momentum regions. The cross sections integrated for -0.7≤cosθ≤1.0 were obtained as 22.5±0.68 [statistical error(stat.)] ±0.65 [systematic error(syst.)] mb and 15.8±0.83(stat)±0.52(syst) mb for 470<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<550 and 550<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<650, respectively. These results show a drastic improvement compared with past measurements of the hyperon-proton scattering experiments. They will play essential roles in updating the theoretical models of the baryon-baryon interactions.

Abstract
CASE A 74-year-old woman presented with multiple rib fractures, hemothorax, spleen rupture, and right shoulder dislocation. Shoulder joint reduction was performed using the traction-countertraction method. An injury to the descending aorta, caused by the seventh rib, was confirmed. CONCLUSION The authors encountered an aortic injury, a rare complication of shoulder joint reduction, in a patient with a posterior rib fracture. When managing patients with posterior fractures of the fourth to ninth ribs on the left side, the reduction method should be carefully selected depending on the status of the patient to avoid aortic injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We attempted to predict pathological factors and treatment outcomes using machine learning and radiomic features extracted from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients. METHODS The medical records and imaging data of 155 patients who were diagnosed with OPSCC were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The logistic regression model showed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the model was 0.792 in predicting human papilloma virus (HPV) status. The LightGBM model showed an AUC of 0.8333 in predicting HPV status. The performance of the logistic model in predicting lymphovascular invasion, extracapsular nodal spread, and metastatic lymph nodes showed AUC values of 0.7871, 0.6713, and 0.6638, respectively. In predicting disease recurrence, the LightGBM model showed an AUC of 0.8571. In predicting patient death, the logistic model showed an AUC of 0.8175. CONCLUSIONS A machine learning model using MRI radiomics showed satisfactory performance in predicting pathologic factors and treatment outcomes of OPSCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful cryopreservation of bovine oocytes is very important for research and commercial applications. However, the survival and development rate of vitrified-thawed (VT) oocytes are lower than those of non-vitrified-thawed (non-VT) oocytes. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of adding hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) to the vitrification solution for bovine oocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS For vitrification, bovine metaphase II oocytes were pretreated with a solution containing 10% ethylene glycol supplemented with 0, 10, 50, or 100 ug/mL HPC for 5 min, exposed to a solution containing 30% ethylene glycol supplemented with 0, 10, 50, or 100 ug/mL HPC for 30 s, and then directly plunged into liquid nitrogen. RESULTS The survival rate of oocytes was significantly higher in the 50 HPC group than in the 0, 10, and 100 HPC groups. The reactive oxygen species level was lower in the non-VT and 50 HPC groups than in the other groups. The mRNA levels of proapoptotic genes (Bax) were lower in the non-VT, 0, and 50 HPC groups than in the other groups. The mRNA levels of antiapoptotic genes (BCl2) were higher in the non-VT than in the other groups. The development rates of embryos (day 8) obtained via parthenogenetic activation (PA) were determined in the non-VT, 0 HPC, and 50 HPC groups. The cleavage rate was significantly higher in the non-VT group. CONCLUSION Supplementation of vitrification solution with HPC improves the survival of VT bovine oocytes and the development capacity of embryos derived from these oocytes via PA. doi.org/10.54680/fr23110110212.

Abstract
Background: We aimed to investigate the outcomes after delayed management of ≥ Grade II blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury (BTAI). Methods: Between January 2005 and December 2019, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 21 patients with ≥ Grade II thoracic aortic injury resulting from blunt trauma. Twelve patients underwent observation for the injury, whereas nine patients were transferred immediately after the diagnosis. Patients were divided into a nonoperative management group (n = 7) and delayed repair group (n = 5) based on whether they underwent thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair or surgery. Results: The most common dissection type was DeBakey classification IIIa (n = 9). Five patients underwent delayed surgery (including aneurysm repair), with observation periods ranging from 1 day to 36 months. The delayed repair group exhibited higher injury severity scores than the nonoperative management group (n = 7). The nonoperative management group was followed-up with blood pressure management without a change in status for a period ranging from 3 to 96 months. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that conservative management may be appropriate for select patients with Grade II/III BTAI, especially those exhibiting hemodynamic stability with anti-impulse therapy and minimally sized pseudoaneurysms. However, further studies are required to identify the risk factors for injury progression and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
The first measurements of differential branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic B→X_{u}ℓ^{+}ν_{ℓ} decays are performed using the full Belle data set of 711 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity at the ϒ(4S) resonance and for ℓ=e, μ. With the availability of these measurements, new avenues for future shape-function model-independent determinations of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{ub}| can be pursued to gain new insights in the existing tension with respect to exclusive determinations. The differential branching fractions are reported as a function of the lepton energy, the four-momentum-transfer squared, light-cone momenta, the hadronic mass, and the hadronic mass squared. They are obtained by subtracting the backgrounds from semileptonic B→X_{c}ℓ^{+}ν_{ℓ} decays and other processes, and corrected for resolution and acceptance effects.

Abstract
Background: Head and neck cancer patients often suffer from dysphagia after surgery and
radiotherapy. A singing-enhanced swallowing protocol was established to
improve their swallowing function. This study aimed to evaluate the
beneficial effects of therapeutic singing on dysphagia in head and neck
cancer (HNC) patients. Methods: Patients who participated in this study were allocated to the intervention
group (15 patients) and the control group (13 patients). Patients assigned
to the intervention group received therapeutic singing 3 times per week for
4 weeks. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups, including the oral cavity
cancer group and the pharyngeal cancer group. The patients’ vocal functions
were evaluated in maximum phonation time, pitch, intensity, jitter, shimmer,
harmonics to noise ratio, and laryngeal diadochokinesis (L-DDK). To evaluate
swallowing function, videofluoroscopic swallowing study was done, and the
results were analyzed by videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS) and dynamic
imaging grade of swallowing toxicity (DIGEST). Results: Among the voice parameters, L-DDK of the intervention group significantly
increased compared to that of the control group. Swallowing functions of the
intervention group were significantly improved in VDS and DIGEST after the
intervention. Detailed items of VDS and DIGEST showed improvements
especially in the pharyngeal phase score of VDS, such as laryngeal
elevation, pharyngeal transit time, and aspiration. In addition, the
pharyngeal cancer group showed significant improvements in VDS and DIGEST
scores after the intervention. Conclusions: Our outcomes highlight the beneficial effects of singing for HNC patients
with dysphagia. The notable improvements in the pharyngeal phase suggest
that therapeutic singing would be more appropriate for HNC patients who need
to improve their intrinsic muscle movements of vocal fold and laryngeal
elevation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the altering patterns in clinical characteristics and severity of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the medical records of 119 children who were diagnosed with APSGN from 1987 to 2018, retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I (n=72, before 1998) and Group II (n=47, after 1998). Clinical, radiologic, and laboratory findings were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The clinical manifestations, including vomiting (20.8% vs. 4.3%, p=0.014), oliguria (40.3% vs. 19.1%, p=0.016), and generalized edema (86.1% vs. 63.8%, p=0.005), were statistically less frequent since 1998. Pulmonary edema on chest X-ray (22.7% vs. 4.4%, p=0.014) was less frequent in Group II than in Group I. The level of BUN (23.3±19.3 vs. 18.8±11.2, p=0.009) was lower in Group II than in Group I, while that of creatinine was not significantly different between the two groups. C3 level was an independent factor for predicting the development of edema (odds ratio [OR]: 1.034, 95% CI: 1.010-1.060, p=0.006) and acute nephritic symptoms (≥2) (OR: 0.974, 95% CI: 0.952-0996, p=0.020). It was also negatively correlated with an increasing number of acute nephritic symptoms, including oliguria and edema, in patients with APSGN (R=-0.182, p=0.048). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that APSGN had favorable clinical manifestations and severity over the past 30 years. The monitoring of C3 levels can be used to assess the disease severity and risk of complications, including edema and oliguria, which are decreasing in South Korean children.

Abstract
Using data samples of 89.5 and 711 fb^{-1} recorded at energies of sqrt[s]=10.52 and 10.58 GeV, respectively, with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^{+}e^{-} collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}ℓ^{+}ν_{ℓ} (ℓ=e or μ) and the CP-asymmetry parameter of Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} decay. The branching fractions are measured to be B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}e^{+}ν_{e})=(1.31±0.04±0.07±0.38)% and B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}μ^{+}ν_{μ})=(1.27±0.06±0.10±0.37)%, and the decay parameter α_{Ξπ} is measured to be 0.63±0.03±0.01 with much improved precision compared with the current world average. The corresponding ratio B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}e^{+}ν_{e})/B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}μ^{+}ν_{μ}) is 1.03±0.05±0.07, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter A_{CP}=(α_{Ξ^{-}π^{+}}+α_{Ξ[over ¯]^{+}π^{-}})/(α_{Ξ^{-}π^{+}}-α_{Ξ[over ¯]^{+}π^{-}})=0.024±0.052±0.014 is found to be consistent with zero. The first and the second uncertainties above are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise due to the uncertainty of the Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} branching fraction.

Abstract
Background Patients with advanced sarcomas have a poor prognosis and few treatment options that improve overall survival. We assessed the efficacy and tolerability of pemetrexed and cisplatin combination therapy in patients with refractory bone and soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Patients and Methods Patients were included in this multicenter, phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03809637) if they progressed after receiving one or more chemotherapy regimens containing an anthracycline and/or ifosfamide. Pemetrexed was first administered intravenously, followed by cisplatin, over a cycle of 21 days, for a maximum of six cycles. The primary endpoint was a progression-free rate (PFR) at 3 months (3-month PFR). Results From January 2017 to September 2019, we enrolled 37 patients; of these, 73% had previously undergone three or more rounds of chemotherapy. Five patients (13.5%) exhibited objective responses, including two patients (2/6, 33.3%) with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, one patient (1/4, 25%) with synovial sarcoma, one patient (1/4, 25%) with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and one patient (1/4, 25%) with angiosarcoma. The median progression-free survival was 2.6 months, and the 3-month PFR was 45.9% (n = 17). None of the four patients with osteosarcoma exhibited objective responses or were progression free at 3 months. The most frequent treatment-related grade 3-4 toxicities included neutropenia (16.2%), anemia (13.5%), thrombocytopenia (13.5%), and fatigue (8.1%). Among 26 patients (70.3%) available for immunohistochemical assessments, patients in the low-excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) and low-thymidylate synthase expression groups showed a tendency for longer overall survival. Conclusions Combination therapy with pemetrexed and cisplatin was associated with clinically meaningful and sustained responses among patients with advanced and refractory STS. The combination therapy met its predefined primary study endpoint. Pemetrexed and cisplatin show promising efficacy for advanced sarcoma treatment, particularly as a salvage therapy option. The combination therapy met its predefined primary endpoint, with a 3-month PFR of 45.9%. Pemetrexed and cisplatin showed acceptable toxicity in heavily treated sarcoma patients.
