Abstract
BackgroundThe MSK components of the BILAG and SLEDAI have limited sensitivity, specificity and responsiveness.ObjectivesTo develop a better disease activity tool for MSK lupus.Methods“LAMDA” was derived using data from the multicentre USEFUL study (PMID:33792659); 133 patients with inflammatory MSK pain received intramuscular depomedrone then were assessed for 66/68 SJC/TJC, BILAG-2004, SLEDAI-2K, physician MSK-VAS, inflammatory markers, patient pain and disease-activity-VAS and MSK-ultrasound. Baseline variables were modelled against US using penalized (Lasso) regression. For validation we evaluated: (i) responsiveness at week 6 in USEFUL and (ii) association with quality of life and treatment decision in an independent study (n=100).ResultsLAMDA was a composite of SJC, patient-MSK-pain-VAS, physician-MSK-disease-activity-VAS and ESR ranging from 0 to 26.5. Response effect size was greater for the LAMDA (0.37) than the BILAG-MSK (0.31), SLEDAI-MSK (0.27) and total US score (0.33). With active US at baseline, LAMDA’s effect size was 0.42.In the validation study LAMDA score correlated with better physical function (R = -0.49, p<0.001), pain (R = -0.44, p=0.002) and Burden to Others (R = -0.38, p=0.009). LAMDA was higher when therapy was increased (mean (95% CI) difference 12.9 (5.8, 19.9), p<0.001).ConclusionLAMDA is a continuous disease activity instrument for MSK lupus that is sensitive to imaging-synovitis without swelling, more responsive than other instruments and correlates with quality of life and treatment decision. LAMDA may improve the ability of clinicians to monitor and treat MSK lupus, and determine the efficacy of therapies in clinical trials.AcknowledgementsFunding: Lupus UK and NIHRDisclosure of InterestsKhaled Mahmoud: None declared, Ahmed Zayat: None declared, Md Yuzaiful Md Yusof: None declared, Lee-Suan Teh: None declared, Shah Khan: None declared, Chee-Seng Yee: None declared, David D’Cruz: None declared, Nora Ng: None declared, David Isenberg: None declared, Coziana Ciurtin: None declared, Philip G Conaghan: None declared, Paul Emery: None declared, Christopher John Edwards: None declared, Elizabeth Hensor: None declared, Edward Vital Speakers bureau: GSK, AstraZeneca, Consultant of: GSK, AstraZeneca, Roche, Aurinia, Lilly, ILTOO, Novartis, Grant/research support from: AstraZeneca, Sandoz

Abstract
Evolution of the hot spot plasma conditions was measured using high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy at the National Ignition Facility. The capsules were filled with DD gas with trace levels of Kr and had either a high-density-carbon (HDC) ablator or a tungsten (W)-doped HDC ablator. Time-resolved measurement of the Kr Heβ spectra, absolutely calibrated by a simultaneous time-integrated measurement, allows inference of the electron density and temperature through observing Stark broadening and the relative intensities of dielectronic satellites. By matching the calculated hot spot emission using a collisional-radiative code to experimental observations, the hot spot size and areal density are determined. These advanced spectroscopy techniques further reveal the effect of W dopant in the ablator on the hot spot parameters for their improved implosion performance.

Abstract
The polarization of the Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam (z) direction, P_{z}, has been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV recorded with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main contribution to P_{z} comes from elliptic flow-induced vorticity and can be characterized by the second Fourier sine coefficient P_{z,s2}=⟨P_{z}sin(2φ-2Ψ_{2})⟩, where φ is the hyperon azimuthal emission angle and Ψ_{2} is the elliptic flow plane angle. We report the measurement of P_{z,s2} for different collision centralities and in the 30%-50% centrality interval as a function of the hyperon transverse momentum and rapidity. The P_{z,s2} is positive similarly as measured by the STAR Collaboration in Au-Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV, with somewhat smaller amplitude in the semicentral collisions. This is the first experimental evidence of a nonzero hyperon P_{z} in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The comparison of the measured P_{z,s2} with the hydrodynamic model calculations shows sensitivity to the competing contributions from thermal and the recently found shear-induced vorticity, as well as to whether the polarization is acquired at the quark-gluon plasma or the hadronic phase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Submassive and massive pulmonary embolism is associated with a high risk of complications. We aimed to evaluate our initial experience with a mechanical thrombectomy device in the management of these patients. METHODS A single-center, retrospective study was performed in patients with acute submassive and massive pulmonary embolism treated with the FlowTriever device (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA, USA) between June 2019 and November 2020. Clinical and technical parameters were analyzed during the hospitalization and at 30- and 180-days after the procedure. RESULTS Fourteen patients were evaluated with a median (IQR) age of 60 (50-69) years and 64% were male. All had right heart strain as the main indication for thrombectomy. The procedure duration and fluoroscopic time was 52 (37-89) and 13 (9-24) minutes, respectively. There was 100% technical success, and the pulmonary arterial pressure went from 60 (48-65) mmHg to 40 (34-47) mmHg. Thrombolysis was used in two patients and nine patients required intensive care. 100% experienced improvement in symptoms at the time of discharge. There were no device-related complications, major bleeding events, myocardial infarctions, or deaths. Preprocedural hemoglobin was 13 (12-15) g/dL, and predischarge was 12 (10-13) g/dL. Overall postprocedural length of stay was three (2-6) days. All the patients were discharged with oral anticoagulation. There were no device-related complications or recurrence of embolism at 30 and 180 days. CONCLUSIONS The mechanical thrombectomy device for submassive and massive pulmonary embolism is promising and appears a safe and effective procedure with 100% technical success, no complications, short intensive care requirement/stay, and good early clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The leading causes of hepatitis are viral infections, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Millions of people have been infected with these deadly viral infections worldwide, and in Pakistan, every tenth person is infected with these viruses. Different populations respond with different rates to infectious diseases due to host genomic differences. To evaluate and compare the biochemical parameters in different types of hepatitis (Hepatitis B, C, and Co-infection) and different ethnic groups, a total of 200 pre-screened patients were recruited from District Headquarters Teaching Hospital Dera Ismail Khan and Tank. Blood samples (5ml) were taken from patients and were assayed for biochemical parameters, including four liver function tests (LFTs) and two renal function tests (RFTs). In 200 patients, the mean scores of Alanine transaminase (ALT) were 376±335, 315±265, and 478±519 IU/L in HBV, HCV, and co-infected patients, respectively. Moreover, the mean score of ALT was 31±7.2 IU/l in the normal control group. All other biochemical parameters demonstrated elevated levels in co-infection, HBV, and HCV, respectively, except total proteins. The RFTs showed a threshold or upper normal limit (UNL); nonetheless, when compared to normal control subjects, RFTs parameters were high in infected patients, as compared to normal control. Ethnicity wise comparison of parameters indicated that Pushtoon ethnic group indicated a high degree of severity of HBV infection and co-infection, as compared to Saraiki and Rajpoot ethnic groups, while Saraiki ethnic group showed a higher severity of HCV than both of Pushtoon and Rajpoot. Rajpoot ethnic group was least affected than both Pushtoon and Saraiki ethnic groups. Co-infected patients were more severely affected, as compared to HBV and HCV patients. The ethnicity-wise study provided evidence that different ethnic groups showed different degrees of severity. There may be some genetic background involved in hepatitis B and C viral infection due to which all three ethnic groups showed different degrees of severity. In gender-wise comparisons, male patients were more affected than female patients.

Abstract
Introduction Despite COVID-19 being a viral illness, antibiotic use has been more prevalent. In addition, co-infection (3.5%) and secondary infection (14.3%) were relatively low in hospitalised patients with COVID-19. A major concern is the increased risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) due to inappropriate antibiotic consumption (1). Aim This review aims to evaluate antimicrobial consumption (excluding repurposed drugs such as remdesivir) in hospitals and determine the prevalence of COVID-19 patients who received antibiotic therapy using meta-analysis. Methods The review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines (2). The two investigators independently developed and applied eligibility criteria to examine original articles. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they met the following criteria: (i) original research studies with a minimum sample of 50 patients; (ii) focussed on antibiotic consumption (AMC); (iii) patients with COVID-19 or consumption amid COVID-19 pandemic; (iv) any age group or gender; and (v) reported in the English language. The included articles were retrieved from MEDLINE, CINAHL, WHO COVID-19 databases, including studies published in EMBASE, Scopus, WHO-COVID, and LILACS between December 2019 to July 2021. The modified version of Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to measure biases in included studies after the consensus by both authors. The random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence or proportion of AMC among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Results A total of 34 studies conducted among hospitalised COVID-19 patients were included. The extracted studies presented AMC in defined daily doses (DDD) or frequency and percentages. Azithromycin was the most frequently prescribed antibiotic in almost all studies. The meta-analysis that examined overall AMC using data from 25 studies (17 studies from high income countries and eight from low-middle income countires) revealed 69% (95% CI:63%-74%) of hospitalized COVID-19 received at least one course of antibiotics. The sub-group analysis of studies from high income countries (HICs) revealed 59% (95% CI: 51%-66%) consumed antibiotics compared with 89% (95% CI: 82% to 94%) among hospitalised COVID-19 patients in low-middle income countries (LMICs). Conclusion This review highlights the trend of antibiotic consumption in hospitalised COVID-19 patients. A significant rise in antibiotic consumption was observed in LMICs and increased antibiotic consumption in the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic in HIC. The review outcomes emphasised the importance of rational and judicious use of antimicrobial therapy as well as to strenghting the antimicrobial stewardship policies and activities, particularly during a global pandemic. The limitation of the review undertaken was not identified incidence of co-infection and don’t include studies on reported AMC in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract
The basic aim of this study was aimed to determine the ichthyofaunal diversity of River Panjkora in both upper and lower Dir districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.Fish samples were collected by using fishnets from March to September 2020. A total of 724 specimens were collected and classified into 5 families, 14 genera, and 18 species. The overall results revealed that most fish fauna of river Panjkora contains 8 species of family Cyprinidae (56.49%) followed by 4 species of Nemacheilidae (24.44%), 2 species of Channidae (10.63%), and Sisoridae (7.04%), and 1 species of Mastacembelidae (1.38%), respectively. Among all kinds of fish species, Schizothorax plagiostomus (16.57%) was highly dominated and followed by Carassius auratus (11.87%) and Racoma labiata (9.66%) and were reported as highly abundant, especially during April, May, and June. The least abundant species were Glyptothorax punjabensis, Glyptothorax sufii, and Mastacembelus armatus, that constituting 2.48%, 2.20%, and 1.38% of the total fish samples. The Overall Simpson's diversity (1-D= 0.919) and Simpson's Reciprocal index values (1/D= 12.3876), and Shannon's index (H= 2.68) were indicating that river Panjkora contains a quite rich and diverse group of fish species. The highest microplastics observed in site 7 compared to other study area. Conservation steps should be taken as a top priority to protect and conserve the marine environment and natural heritage from further loss, extinction and stop or minimize losses incurred through irresponsible fishery practices.

Measurement of the Groomed Jet Radius and Momentum Splitting Fraction in pp and Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2022; 128:102001.

Abstract
This article presents groomed jet substructure measurements in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector. The soft drop grooming algorithm provides access to the hard parton splittings inside a jet by removing soft wide-angle radiation. We report the groomed jet momentum splitting fraction, z_{g}, and the (scaled) groomed jet radius, θ_{g}. Charged-particle jets are reconstructed at midrapidity using the anti-k_{T} algorithm with resolution parameters R=0.2 and R=0.4. In heavy-ion collisions, the large underlying event poses a challenge for the reconstruction of groomed jet observables, since fluctuations in the background can cause groomed parton splittings to be misidentified. By using strong grooming conditions to reduce this background, we report these observables fully corrected for detector effects and background fluctuations for the first time. A narrowing of the θ_{g} distribution in Pb-Pb collisions compared to pp collisions is seen, which provides direct evidence of the modification of the angular structure of jets in the quark-gluon plasma. No significant modification of the z_{g} distribution in Pb-Pb collisions compared to pp collisions is observed. These results are compared with a variety of theoretical models of jet quenching, and provide constraints on jet energy-loss mechanisms and coherence effects in the quark-gluon plasma.

Access to Urological Care for Medicaid-Insured Patients at Urology Practices Acquired by Private Equity Firms. Urology 2022; 164:112-117. [PMID: 35276202 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2022.01.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize appointment access for Medicaid-insured patients seeking care at urology practices affiliated with private equity firms in light of the recent national trends in practice consolidation. METHODS We identified 214 urology offices affiliated with private equity firms that were geographically matched with 231 non-private equity affiliated urology offices. Using a standardized script, researchers posed as an adult patient with either Medicaid or commercial insurance in the clinical setting of new onset, painless hematuria. The primary outcome was whether the patient's insurance was accepted for an appointment. The secondary outcome was appointment wait time. RESULTS We conducted 815 appointment inquiry calls to 214 PE and 231 non-PE-affiliated urology offices across 12 states. Appointment availability was higher for commercially-insured patients (99.0%; 95% CI: 98.1%-99.9%) versus Medicaid-insured patients (59.8%; 95% CI: 55.0%-64.6%) (p<0.0001). Medicaid acceptance was higher at non-PE affiliated (66.8%; CI 60.4%-73.2%) than PE-affiliated practices (52.1%; 95% CI 45.0%-59.2%) (p=0.003). On multivariable logistic regression analysis, state Medicaid expansion status (OR 2.20; CI 1.14-4.28; p=0.020) was independently associated with Medicaid appointment availability, whereas PE-affiliation (OR 0.55; CI 0.37-0.83; p=0.004) was independently associated with lower Medicaid access. Appointment wait times did not differ significantly for commercially-insured versus Medicaid patients (19.2 vs 20.1 days; p=0.59), but PE-affiliated practices offered shorter mean wait times than non-PE offices (17.5 vs 21.4 days; p=0.017). CONCLUSIONS Access disparities for urologic evaluation in patients with Medicaid insurance at urology practices and were more pronounced at private equity acquired practices.

Abstract
Introduction During the first COVID-19 wave, the BAUS Section of Oncology issued guidance to minimise risks of sepsis and general anaesthesia at prostate biopsy. Consequently, and as a result of diminished diagnostics capacity on Trust acute sites, we implemented a centralised network-wide nurse-led LA TP biopsy service on a COVID-secure “green” site and abandoned trans-rectal biopsies. We evaluated the impact of this service improvement on patient waiting times before and after national lockdown in March 2020. Method Classic Quality Improvement (QI) methodology was used with continuous data collection and waiting list management by clinical staff with standard admin support. Balancing measurements were collected. Run charts were used to confirm whether a change led to a real and sustainable improvement. Results The number of days waiting, from time of request to date of biopsy, is presented in the following run chart. The mean waiting time for those pre lockdown was 145 days (SD 57) whereas post lockdown was 23 days (SD 20). This identified that there was a significant difference between the average waiting time pre and post lockdown (U = 55.5, p = <0.001) There were also reductions in waiting time when subcategorised into planned Active Surveillance cases, target cases and delayed cases. Conclusions Centralising the TP biopsy service and converting to a nurse led LA service has led to reductions in waiting lists and was safely expedited and resilient even in the COVID-19 pandemic. Allowing a second advanced TP practitioner to be fully trained, during COVID. The service was highly valued by patients and staff.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Distant metastases are present in 6% or more of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, worldwide. In this context, locoregional therapy for the intact primary tumor has been hypothesized to improve overall survival and local control, based on multiple retrospective studies, but clinical trials have reported conflicting results. Methods: All four completed trials included women presenting with metastatic breast cancer and an intact primary tumor. The trial design mandated initial systemic therapy prior to randomization in two trials (EA2108 and Tata Memorial) with subsequent randomization to locoregional therapy (LRT) or not, if there was no progression. In two other trials (MF 07-01 and POSYTIVE) randomization occurred upfront. LRT consisted of surgery and radiotherapy per standards applied to patients with non-metastatic disease, with minor differences between trials. The primary endpoint was two or three year overall survival in all four trials, with locoregional control and quality of life as secondary endpoints. Progression-free survival was also examined. The randomized sample size ranged from 93 to 350 across the trials (the POSYTIVE trial did not reach full accrual). Tumor characteristics were balanced between arms, except MF 07-01, which favored the LRT arm. Prospectively measured quality of life (QoL) outcomes have been reported for POSYTIVE and EA2108, assessed using standard instruments. Results. The design, accrual, and main results of the four completed trials, and one still in follow-up (Shien, JCOG 1017) are shown in the Table. Median follow-up duration at the time of reporting ranges from 23 to 53 months in these trials. The overall survival in three of four trials shows no advantage with the use of LRT. MF 07-01 is an outlier, with improved 5-year OS in the LRT arm. Of note, survival rates vary across the trials, depending on the resource environment; in the Tata (India) trial this was 20 months at 2 years, and in EA2108 (USA and Canada) it was 53.1 months (95% CI: 47.9,-) in the systemic therapy arm and 54.9 months (95% CI: 46.7,-) in the locoregional therapy arm. Locoregional progression rates were significantly lower in those randomized to primary site LRT, with locoregional progression occurring in less than 20% of patients treated with LRT with systemic therapy. However, in the systemic therapy alone arms, a minority of patients (under 20%) required palliative LRT, demonstrating the efficacy of contemporary systemic therapy in avoiding symptomatic locoregional progression. Despite the improved local control however, quality of life measures were largely similar between arms in the two trials where prospective, preplanned evaluation of these parameters has been reported (POSYTIVE and EA2108). Conclusions: The preponderance of current evidence does not support use of early locoregional therapy for the primary site as a means to improve survival in patients presenting with metastatic breast cancer. However, LRT was associated with improved locoregional disease control, albeit with no overall impact on quality of life. Questions remain regarding the survival value of primary site LRT in the oligometastatic setting, since this aspect has not been prospectively examined in any existing trial.

Abstract
The p_{T}-differential production cross sections of prompt D^{0}, Λ_{c}^{+}, and Σ_{c}^{0,++}(2455) charmed hadrons are measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV. This is the first measurement of Σ_{c}^{0,++} production in hadronic collisions. Assuming the same production yield for the three Σ_{c}^{0,+,++} isospin states, the baryon-to-meson cross section ratios Σ_{c}^{0,+,++}/D^{0} and Λ_{c}^{+}/D^{0} are calculated in the transverse momentum (p_{T}) intervals 2<p_{T}<12 and 1<p_{T}<24 GeV/c. Values significantly larger than in e^{+}e^{-} collisions are observed, indicating for the first time that baryon enhancement in hadronic collisions also extends to the Σ_{c}. The feed-down contribution to Λ_{c}^{+} production from Σ_{c}^{0,+,++} is also reported and is found to be larger than in e^{+}e^{-} collisions. The data are compared with predictions from event generators and other phenomenological models, providing a sensitive test of the different charm-hadronization mechanisms implemented in the models.

Abstract
Background Obesity is becoming serious global public health issue due to sedentary lifestyle and bad eating habits. Dietary and lifestyle practices are directly related to obesity, which can cause serious health problems like cardiac ailments, diabetes, and hypertension etc. Vast varieties of options are available for weight reduction including physical exercises, various diet plans and also the pharmacological agents. Physical activity improves the fitness of the individual and helps in reducing the ill effects of the obesity. Objective To compare the effects of Yoga and Aerobic Exercise on weight circumference, waisthip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) in overweight and obese individuals. Method An experimental study was started with purposive sampling. Sixty overweight and obese individuals from the community were divided equally into two groups, one group was given supervised yoga asana and the other group was given supervised aerobic exercise for 6 weeks. Waist circumference, waist hip ratio and body mass index were taken pre and post intervention. Result Statistically significant difference was seen in pre and post intervention value of waist circumference, waist hip ratio and body mass index in both the groups with the p value < 0.05. However there was no statistical significant difference noted in waist hip ratio in individuals performing aerobic exercises as p value was > 0.05. Conclusion Both the interventions showed significant reduction in waist circumference, waist hip ratio and body mass index, while better results were noted in the individuals performing yoga asanas.
