Abstract
Background Available literature on psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) demonstrates a tremendous burden of disease and suggests underdiagnosis and undertreatment. Objective To obtain real‐world physician perspectives on the impact of psoriasis and PsA and its treatment on patients' daily lives, including perceptions of, and satisfaction with, current therapies. Methods The Multinational Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (MAPP) surveyed dermatologists (n = 391) and rheumatologists (n = 390) in North America (Canada and the United States) and Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom). Results Dermatologists classified 20.3% and 25.7% of their patients as having severe psoriasis and severe PsA respectively; rheumatologists indicated that 48.4% of their PsA patients had active disease. Of the psoriasis patients complaining of joint pain, only 33.0% had a diagnosis of PsA. An impact on daily activities or social/emotional well‐being was recognized by 57.2% to 79.3% of physicians. In patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis, dermatologists reported 74.9% were receiving topical therapy, 19.5% conventional oral therapy and 19.6% biologics. Dermatologists and rheumatologists reported similar rates of topical (≈45%) and biologic (≈30%) therapy utilization for their PsA patients; conventional oral therapy was more often prescribed by rheumatologists (63.4%) vs. dermatologists (35.2%). Reasons for not initiating or maintaining systemic therapies were related to concerns about long‐term safety, tolerability, efficacy and costs (biologics). Conclusion Physicians in North America and Europe caring for patients with psoriasis and PsA acknowledge unmet treatment needs, largely concerning long‐term safety/tolerability and efficacy of currently available therapies; evidence suggests underdiagnosis of PsA and undertreatment of psoriasis among dermatologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited long-term, 'real-world' data on ustekinumab, or the effect of dose adjustment in suboptimal responders. OBJECTIVES We describe 52-week data from TRANSIT, which initiated ustekinumab by licensed regimen and investigated exploratory dose adjustment. METHODS Patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and inadequate methotrexate response received ustekinumab, with immediate or gradual methotrexate withdrawal. Outcomes were similar between treatment arms at week 12 (primary endpoint), so week 52 data were pooled. Patients weighing ≤ 100 kg or > 100 kg were administered ustekinumab 45 or 90 mg, respectively. Patients weighing ≤ 100 kg without 75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) response at weeks 28 or 40 received a dose adjustment to 90 mg. The primary analysis used observed data. RESULTS Overall, 391 and 98 patients received ustekinumab 45 and 90 mg, respectively. Forty-four patients (9%) discontinued before week 52 (0·4% due to adverse events). At week 52 (in the overall population), 369 patients (83%) achieved a PASI score ≤ 5, and 341 patients (77%) achieved PASI 75; the median PASI score decreased from 15 at baseline to 1·8. At weeks 28 and 40, 84 and 31 patients, respectively, did not achieve PASI 75 and received a dose adjustment; by week 52, 35/82 (43%) and 15/31 (48%) of these patients, respectively, achieved PASI 75 (two discontinued between weeks 28 and 40). CONCLUSIONS Ustekinumab showed sustained 1-year efficacy and was well tolerated when initially administered according to label. Adjusting the ustekinumab dose to 90 mg may result in clinically meaningful improvement in response in patients weighing ≤ 100 kg with suboptimal initial response.

Abstract
The Masquelet induced membrane technique for reconstructing large diaphyseal defects has been shown to be a promising clinical treatment, yet relatively little is known about the cellular, histological and biochemical make-up of these membranes and how they produce this positive clinical outcome. We compared cellular make-up, histological changes and growth factor expression in membranes induced around femur bone defects and in subcutaneous pockets at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after induction, and to the periosteum. We found that membranes formed around bone defects were similar to those formed in subcutaneous pockets; however, both were significantly different from periosteum with regard to structural characteristics, location of blood vessels and overall thickness. Membranes induced at the femur defect (at 2 weeks) and in periosteum contain mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs; STRO-1+ ) which were not found in membranes induced subcutaneously. BMP-2, TGFβ and VEGF were significantly elevated in membranes induced around femur defects in comparison to subcutaneously induced membranes, whereas SDF-1 was not detectable in membranes induced at either site. We found that osteogenic and neovascular activity had mostly subsided by 6 weeks in membranes formed at both sites. It was conclude that cellular composition and growth factor content in induced membranes depends on the location where the membrane is induced and differs from periosteum. Osteogenic and neovascular activity in the membranes is maximal between 2 and 4 weeks and subsides after 6. Based on this, better and quicker bone healing might be achieved if the PMMA cement were replaced with a bone graft earlier in the Masquelet technique. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Appropriate outcome selection is essential if research is to guide decision-making for patients, professionals and policy makers. Systematic reviews evaluating the clinical, cosmetic and patient-reported outcomes of breast reconstruction, however, have demonstrated marked heterogeneity of outcome reporting such that results from individual studies cannot be compared or combined. Standardising end-points by developing and using core outcome sets - an agreed minimum set of outcomes that should be measured and reported in all research and audit studies – is one way by which outcome reporting may be improved. We therefore report the initial results of the BRAVO (Breast Reconstruction and Valid Outcomes) Study which aims to use a scientifically rigorous Delphi consensus process to develop a core outcome set for reconstructive breast surgery.
Methods: The Delphi process involves the sequential completion of questionnaires to allow stakeholder opinions to be synthesised using item responses to prioritise outcome domains.
The questionnaire was developed from a long list of 148 outcomes generated from literature reviews and qualitative work with stakeholders. The outcomes were categorised into 34 domains in six categories (short-term complications; late complications; symptoms; psychosocial issues; practical issues and cosmesis) and each domain operationalised.
Key stakeholders were identified as patients, surgeons, specialist nurses and psychologists and participants were sampled purposively to ensure a breadth of perspectives. Each participant was sent a questionnaire and asked to prioritise the outcomes on a nine-point likert scale from 1(not important) to 9(extremely important).
The number of respondents in each group rating each outcome as not important(scores 1–3); equivocal(scores 4–6) or very important(score 7–9) were calculated for each item and compared between groups. The proportions of respondents rating each item as very important(score 7–9) was used to rank the items.
Results: 213 of the 430 questionnaires were returned(126/274 patients and 87/156 professionals) giving a response rate of 49.5%.
Patient participants had a median age of 53.4 years(range 34–76) and had undergone a full range of reconstructive procedures. The professional group included 39 breast surgeons, 20 plastic surgeons and 18 clinical nurse specialists.
There was agreement between 7 of the 10 outcomes that each group rated most highly. Items with consensus included patient-reported cosmesis, cosmetic satisfaction and early complications. Patients, but not professionals, considered generic complications such as bleeding to be important while professionals valued psychosocial issues such as self-esteem more highly than patients.
Conclusions: Patients and professionals prioritise similar outcomes, but areas of discrepancy with regard to complications and psychosocial outcomes remain. A further Delphi round asking participants to re-prioritise outcomes and a consensus meeting to ratify the final decisions will be necessary to determine a final core outcome set for reconstructive breast surgery.

Abstract
The question of how, and how fast, magnetization can be reversed is a topic of great practical interest for the manipulation and storage of magnetic information. It is generally accepted that magnetization reversal should be driven by a stimulus represented by time-non-invariant vectors such as a magnetic field, spin-polarized electric current, or cross-product of two oscillating electric fields. However, until now it has been generally assumed that heating alone, not represented as a vector at all, cannot result in a deterministic reversal of magnetization, although it may assist this process. Here we show numerically and demonstrate experimentally a novel mechanism of deterministic magnetization reversal in a ferrimagnet driven by an ultrafast heating of the medium resulting from the absorption of a sub-picosecond laser pulse without the presence of a magnetic field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infliximab is indicated for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults whose disease cannot be controlled with other systemic therapies, including methotrexate (MTX). To date, no studies have directly compared the efficacy and safety of infliximab and MTX. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of infliximab vs. MTX in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS MTX-naïve patients (n = 868) were randomized 3:1 to receive infliximab 5 mg kg⁻¹ at weeks 0, 2, 6, 14 and 22 or MTX 15 mg weekly with a dose increase to 20 mg weekly at week 6 if the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) response was < 25%. At week 16, patients with < PASI 50 response could switch treatment groups. The primary efficacy endpoint was PASI 75 response at week 16. Major secondary efficacy endpoints were PASI 75 response at week 26, and the proportion of patients achieving a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) score of cleared (0) or minimal (1) at weeks 16 and 26. Others included Dermatology Life Quality Index, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, and PGA, PASI 50, PASI 75 and PASI 90 responses over time. RESULTS The primary endpoint was achieved by a significantly greater proportion of infliximab-treated patients (508/653, 78%) than MTX-treated patients (90/215, 42%; P < 0·001). Key secondary endpoints also were achieved by a greater proportion of infliximab-treated patients. Similar responses were observed at week 26 in patients who switched from MTX to infliximab at week 16. Overall adverse event (AE) incidence was comparable between groups, but incidence of serious and severe AEs was slightly higher in the infliximab group. CONCLUSIONS Infliximab was well tolerated and more efficacious than MTX in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Infliximab also was efficacious in patients who failed MTX and switched to infliximab.
