Abstract
This article serves to help reduce patient burden in searching for credible information about parasomnias-abnormal behaviors during sleep-including sleepwalking, night terrors, and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. It exhibits a compiled list of accessible online resources about parasomnias as well as detailed descriptions about each resource. By increasing patient accessibility to clinically validated resources, patients are more empowered to take an active role in managing their conditions, collaborating with their health-care practitioners in clinical management, enrolling in registries, and joining newsletters sponsored by these resources.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To study TRAK and its association with dosimetric parameters in template-based high dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy in advanced gynecologic cancers. MATERIALS/METHODS Brachytherapy treatment plans of 53 patients treated between 2012 and 2022 at our institution with template-based Iridium-192 HDR brachytherapy, post-external beam RT, for locally advanced cancers of the cervix and vagina were retrospectively reviewed. Brachytherapy dose ranged from 25 to 30-Gy delivered in 4 to 6 fractions. The median number of flexi-guide catheters implanted was 18 (range 10-30). Clinical Target Volume (CTV) values were mean (±SD): 72.2 (±40.4) cm3 (high-risk, HR) and 182.2 (±73.7) cm3 (intermediate-risk, IR) respectively. TRAK per fraction (cGy at 1m), dose-volume information for the implant, target, and organ-at-risk (OAR) were recorded. Indices for dose coverage (CI), homogeneity (DHI), non-uniformity (DNR), overdose volume (ODI) were computed. Regression and correlation tests were used to study the TRAK relationship with various dosimetric parameters. The false discovery rate at a 5% level was corrected using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. RESULTS The average TRAK per fraction was 0.365 (±0.12) cGy. Mean and range values of plan quality indices were - CI 0.92 (0.7- 1.0), DHI 0.57 (0.41 - 0.77), DNR 0.43 (0.23 - 0.59) and ODI 0.22 (0.11 - 0.38), respectively Correlation results for TRAK with various dosimetric indices are presented in Table 1. TRAK showed a weak correlation with the number of flexi-guide catheters implanted (r = 0.35, p = 0.013). TRAK correlated strongly with target volumes (CTV_HR and CTV_IR and CTV_HR V100%) and with isodose volumes at both high (V300, V200, V150), and low dose levels (V90, V85, V50) (p<0.00001). TRAK correlated moderately with OAR 2-cm3 doses (p<0.00001). A weak correlation was observed between TRAK and plan quality indices. CONCLUSION TRAK correlates positively with target volume and volumes enclosed by isodoses at various dose levels in interstitial HDR brachytherapy of advanced Gynecologic Cancers. Interestingly, our study observed a comparatively stronger positive correlation between TRAK and Sigmoid 2-cm3 dose, equated to TRAK correlation with bladder, rectum, and small bowel 2-cm3 doses. This finding could interest future studies utilizing TRAK as a surrogate for treatment outcome and toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Better understanding of the association between characteristics of patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and outcome is needed to further improve upon patient management. METHODS Immunophenotyping Assessment in a COVID-19 Cohort (IMPACC) is a prospective, observational study of 1164 patients from 20 hospitals across the United States. Disease severity was assessed using a 7-point ordinal scale based on degree of respiratory illness. Patients were prospectively surveyed for 1 year after discharge for post-acute sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC) through quarterly surveys. Demographics, comorbidities, radiographic findings, clinical laboratory values, SARS-CoV-2 PCR and serology were captured over a 28-day period. Multivariable logistic regression was performed. FINDINGS The median age was 59 years (interquartile range [IQR] 20); 711 (61%) were men; overall mortality was 14%, and 228 (20%) required invasive mechanical ventilation. Unsupervised clustering of ordinal score over time revealed distinct disease course trajectories. Risk factors associated with prolonged hospitalization or death by day 28 included age ≥ 65 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.01; 95% CI 1.28-3.17), Hispanic ethnicity (OR, 1.71; 95% CI 1.13-2.57), elevated baseline creatinine (OR 2.80; 95% CI 1.63- 4.80) or troponin (OR 1.89; 95% 1.03-3.47), baseline lymphopenia (OR 2.19; 95% CI 1.61-2.97), presence of infiltrate by chest imaging (OR 3.16; 95% CI 1.96-5.10), and high SARS-CoV2 viral load (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.17-2.00). Fatal cases had the lowest ratio of SARS-CoV-2 antibody to viral load levels compared to other trajectories over time (p=0.001). 589 survivors (51%) completed at least one survey at follow-up with 305 (52%) having at least one symptom consistent with PASC, most commonly dyspnea (56% among symptomatic patients). Female sex was the only associated risk factor for PASC. INTERPRETATION Integration of PCR cycle threshold, and antibody values with demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory/radiographic findings identified risk factors for 28-day outcome severity, though only female sex was associated with PASC. Longitudinal clinical phenotyping offers important insights, and provides a framework for immunophenotyping for acute and long COVID-19. FUNDING NIH.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) active cases continue to demand the development of safe and effective treatments. This is the first clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral thymic peptides. ; We conducted a nonrandomized phase 2 trial with a historic control group to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a daily 250-mg oral dose of thymic peptides in the treatment of hospitalized Covid-19 patients. Comparisons based on standard care from registry data were performed after propensity score matching. The primary outcomes were survival, time to recovery, and number of participants with treatment-related adverse events or side effects by day 20. ; A total of 44 patients were analyzed in this study: 22 in the thymic peptide group and 22 in the standard care group. There were no deaths in the intervention group compared to 24% mortality in standard care by day 20 (log-rank P=0.02). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly shorter time to recovery by day 20 in the thymic peptide group than in the standard care group (median, 6 days vs. 12 days; hazard ratio for recovery, 2.75 [95% confidence interval, 1.34 to 5.62]; log-rank P=0.002). No side effects or adverse events were reported. ; In patients hospitalized with Covid-19, the use of thymic peptides resulted in no side effects, adverse events, or deaths by day 20. Compared with the registry data, a significantly shorter time to recovery and mortality reduction were measured.

Abstract
The Josephson effect results from the coupling of two superconductors across a spacer such as an insulator, a normal metal or a ferromagnet to yield a phase coherent quantum state. However, in junctions with ferromagnetic spacers, very long-range Josephson effects have remained elusive. Here we demonstrate extremely long-range (micrometric) high-temperature (tens of kelvins) Josephson coupling across the half-metallic manganite La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 combined with the superconducting cuprate YBa2Cu3O7. These planar junctions, in addition to large critical currents, display the hallmarks of Josephson physics, such as critical current oscillations driven by magnetic flux quantization and quantum phase locking effects under microwave excitation (Shapiro steps). The latter display an anomalous doubling of the Josephson frequency predicted by several theories. In addition to its fundamental interest, the marriage between high-temperature, dissipationless quantum coherent transport and full spin polarization brings opportunities for the practical realization of superconducting spintronics, and opens new perspectives for quantum computing.

Abstract
The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is an intriguing transport phenomenon occurring typically in ferromagnets as a consequence of broken time reversal symmetry and spin-orbit interaction. It can be caused by two microscopically distinct mechanisms, namely, by skew or side-jump scattering due to chiral features of the disorder scattering, or by an intrinsic contribution directly linked to the topological properties of the Bloch states. Here we show that the AHE can be artificially engineered in materials in which it is originally absent by combining the effects of symmetry breaking, spin orbit interaction and proximity-induced magnetism. In particular, we find a strikingly large AHE that emerges at the interface between a ferromagnetic manganite (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3) and a semimetallic iridate (SrIrO3). It is intrinsic and originates in the proximity-induced magnetism present in the narrow bands of strong spin-orbit coupling material SrIrO3, which yields values of anomalous Hall conductivity and Hall angle as high as those observed in bulk transition-metal ferromagnets. These results demonstrate the interplay between correlated electron physics and topological phenomena at interfaces between 3d ferromagnets and strong spin-orbit coupling 5d oxides and trace an exciting path towards future topological spintronics at oxide interfaces.

Abstract
The relationship between the gut microbiota and Clostridioides difficile, and its role in the severity of C. difficile infection in humans is an area of active research. Intestinal carriage of toxigenic and non-toxigenic C. difficile strains, with and without clinical signs, is reported in animals, however few studies have looked at the risk factors associated with C. difficile carriage and the role of the host gut microbiota. Here, we isolated and characterized C. difficile strains from different animal species (predominantly canines (dogs), felines (cats), and equines (horses)) that were brought in for tertiary care at North Carolina State University Veterinary Hospital. C. difficile strains were characterized by toxin gene profiling, fluorescent PCR ribotyping, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was done on animal feces to investigate the relationship between the presence of C. difficile and the gut microbiota in different hosts. Here, we show that C. difficile was recovered from 20.9% of samples (42/201), which included 33 canines, 2 felines, and 7 equines. Over 69% (29/42) of the isolates were toxigenic and belonged to 14 different ribotypes including ones known to cause CDI in humans. The presence of C. difficile results in a shift in the fecal microbial community structure in both canines and equines. Commensal Clostridium hiranonis was negatively associated with C. difficile in canines. Further experimentation showed a clear antagonistic relationship between the two strains in vitro, suggesting that commensal Clostridia might play a role in colonization resistance against C. difficile in different hosts.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Ischemia with no obstructive coronary disease (INOCA) is increasingly diagnosed because of wide performance of coronary angiography. Prevalence of INOCA is higher in women than in men, however the exact pathophysiological mechanisms which may explain this phenomenon are still not very well understood.
Objective
To evaluate differences in clinical and procedural characteristics between men and women with INOCA subjected to intracoronary acetylcholine test (Ach).
Methods
A total of 210 women and 148 men with INOCA diagnosed with coronary angiography, were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter, observational registry. Ach test was performed according to clinical indications in all included patients. After 1-year patients were re-evaluated for major cardiovascular events, angina symptoms and prescribed medical treatment.
Results
Mean age of 60.6±13.6 years old was similar in both populations, but differences were observed in the prevalence of risk factors: active smoking was more frequent among men (43% vs. 17%, p<0.001), who had also a higher number of associated risk factors (≥3 risk factors were present in 31.2% of men vs. 20.2% of women, p<0.01) and more frequent history of percutaneous coronary revascularization (14.2% vs. 6.7%, p=0.03). Women were more prone to have dyspnea than men (35.5% vs. 20.8%, p=0.01). Men had more coronary atherosclerosis in angiography (57.9% vs. 43.7%, p=0.01) and more slow flow in the left anterior descending artery (21.6% vs. 9.0%, p=0.001). Ach was positive in 36.5% of patients, similar in both sexes, with no differences in the type of induced coronary spasm. Among those with a positive Ach test, at one-year, 36% of women vs. 43.6% of men were on optimal medical treatment for vasospasm although the difference was not statistically significant. Importantly, 41.5% of women and 38.1% of men experienced severe symptoms of angina during follow-up.
Conclusions
Although men with INOCA have a higher risk profile than women and more coronary atherosclerosis, one third of patients present endothelial dysfunction, similar in both groups, indicating that probably other pathophysiological mechanisms are responsible for it in females. Treatment in these patients remains suboptimal and associated with highly impaired quality of life.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary endothelial dysfunction and vasospasm are potential causes of ischemia in no obstructive coronary disease (INOCA) and are now known to be associated with an increased risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) and impaired quality of life. The recent guidelines recommend the use of intracoronary acetylcholine to unravel the underlying pathophysiology of INOCA, by identifying those with endothelial dysfunction, and to guide future treatment in these patients.
Objective
To evaluate the clinical profile and prevalence of endothelial dysfunction in patients with INOCA, and to identify the predictors of positivity of the acetylcholine test.
Methods
A total of 358 patients with INOCA were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter observational study. Coronary angiography and acetylcholine test were performed according to clinical indications in all included patients. Patients were followed-up for 1-year for MACE and clinical reevaluation of symptoms.
Results
Patients' mean age was 60.6±13.5 y.o. and 58.7% were females, with no previous history of coronary heart disease in 76% of cases. Regarding clinical presentation, 56.9% had angina at rest, 59.9% exertional angina, and 29.5% dyspnea. In 39% the EKG was abnormal, and in 10.9% there was a troponin rise.
Coronary endothelial dysfunction –defined as a vasoconstriction over 30%– was observed in 129 (36%) patients, and severe vasoconstriction (>70%) in 75 (21%). Of positive cases, 47 (36%) focal vasoconstriction, and 90 (70%) diffuse. On follow-up, patients with a positive Ach test were treated differently, with a lower prescription of betablockers (12% vs. 24%, p=0.01) and a higher use of vasodilators (47% vs. 28.5%, p=0.001). Guidelines-recommended optimal treatment was prescribed to 39.2% of patients with a positive acetylcholine test. Patients with positive acetylcholine test were more prone to having worsening angina (25.6% vs. 12.8%, p<0.01) and minimal exertion angina (40% vs. 26.7%, p=0.03) on follow-up. Multivariable regression analysis showed that acetylcholine test positivity was predicted by the presence of diabetes (OR 1.7, p=0.04), exertional angina (OR 1.2, p=0.04), coronary atherosclerosis (OR 1.8, p=0.02) and coronary milking (OR 2.6, p=0.04).
Conclusions
Endothelial dysfunction detected by acetylcholine test was present in one third of patients with INOCA and was associated with more severe and worsening symptoms. Although Ach test positivity influenced the pharmacological treatment at discharge, a large room for optimization still remained.

Abstract
Background:The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are rare multisystem autoimmune diseases of unknown cause, characterised by inflammatory cell infiltration causing necrosis of blood vessels. The treatment of AAV requires prolonged immunosuppressive therapy. Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality.Objectives:The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of infection, and analyse the factors associated with infection in patients with AAV from Northern of Spain.Methods:Retrospective, descriptive study of patients with AAV followed in a specific Systemic Autoimmune Diseases and Thrombosis Unit from January 2000 to December 2019. Demographic, laboratory, microbiology, treatment and clinical data were collected from the medical records. AAV was diagnosed according to the definitions of the Chapel Hill nomenclature and designated as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) or pauci-immune necrotizing and/or crescentic glomerulonephritis without systemic vasculitis (renal-limited vasculitis, RLV). Disease activity of AAV was evaluated by Birmingham Vasculitis Activity score (BVAS). The infection episode was considered on the basis of clinical, laboratory, microbiology, radiology information, and response to therapy. Different episodes of infection in one patient were independently reflected. Data were analysed using SPSS 25.0Results:Thirty-six patients of which 20 (55.6%) were males. Median follow-up was 42 months. The mean age at the diagnosis was 61.14 ± 17.49 years and mean BVAS was 18.81 ± 5.96. 15 patients were diagnosed of GPA, 13 of MPA, 5 of EGPA and 3 of RLV. 72.2% MPO, 11.1% PR3. Lung involvement occurred in 75% of patients, upper airways was detected in 41.7%, skin involvement in 16.7%, Nervous system affectation occurred in 33.3%. 30 patients (83.3%) had renal affectation with a mean of 1.93± 1.66 gr/dl of Proteinuria and 2.9±2.17mg/dl of creatinine. We detected hypocomplementemia in 27.8% of patients (C3 in 19.4% and C4 in 16.7%). Regarding induction treatments, all patients received corticoids at high doses, 21 (58.3%) Cyclophosphamide, 3 (20%) Rituximab and 2 (13.3%) patients, Azathioprine. When we analyse infections, we detected 15 patients (41.66%) who presented any infection after the diagnosis of AAV, with a total of 71 episodes of infection. The most frequent were bacterial infections (29 episodes), specifically gram negative pathogens. The most frequent location was the respiratory (56.3%) followed by urinary (22.5%) and Skin (8.5%). Also opportunistic infections were described: 3 patients with Aspergillus fumigatus and one patient with Cryptococcus neoformans. 41 of these episodes needed hospitalisation with a median stay of 11 days. 6 episodes warranted intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Infection related mortality was 2.82%. We made latent tuberculosis screening and Pneumocystis prophylaxis in all our patients. No cases of Tuberculosis or Pneumocystis were recorded. Factors associated with increased risk of hospitalisation with statistical signification in univariated study were MPA, Hypocomplementemia and increased BVAS. But in the logistical regression study, only the value of the BVAS maintained statistical significance. The only factor associated with elevated risk of ICU admission was IgG deficit in the multivariate analysis. Neither immunosuppressive therapy nor age was associated with increased risk of infection in our study.Conclusion:More than 50% of the episodes of infection needed hospitalisation in patients with AAV. Risk factors for hospitalisation and ICU admission were BVAS and IgG deficit respectively. Bacterial infections were the most frequent but fungal infections were the most severe.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background Determine the behavior of the maxillofacial trauma of adults treated in 3 tertiary care centers in the central zone of Chile. Material and Methods Descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study, based on the prospective records of maxillofacial trauma cases attended between May 2016 and April 2017 by dental and maxillofacial clinical teams of Adult Emergency Units of hospitals Dr. Sótero del Río (metropolitan region), Carlos Van Buren and Dr. Gustavo Fricke (region V). Age, sex, date of occurrence, type of trauma according to ICD-10, etiology, legal medical prognosis and associated injuries were recorded, stratifying by sex and age. Chi square and unpaired Wilcoxon tests were used to compare by groups. Results 2.485 cases and 3.285 injuries were investigated. The male: female ratio was 1.7: 1 with age under 30 predominant, followed by older adults. Variability was observed in the yearly, weekly and daily presentation. The highest frequencies were in January and September, weekends and at night. The main etiologies were violence (42.3%), falls (13.1%) and road traffic crashes (12.9%) with differences by age and sex (p<0.05). 31,9% of the injuries occurred in hard tissue, being fractures in nasal bones predominant (S02.2). Conclusions The profile of the maxillofacial trauma in Chile seems to be mixed by age, affecting young people and the elderly. The male sex predominates; the main cause, which varies by age group, is violence. Their surveillance is possible from hospital emergency records. Key words:Maxillofacial trauma, emergency department, multicenter study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In a previous work, we found linkage and association of type 1 diabetes (T1D) to a 12 known gene region at chromosome 2p25 in Colombian families. Here, we present further work on this candidate region. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen SNPs located on the 12 candidate genes, in 100 familial trios set, were tested by ARMS-tetraprimer-PCR or PCR-RFLP. Five extra SNPs in the vicinity of rs10186193 were typed. A replica phase included 97 novel familial trios, in whom diabetes-related auto-antibodies (AABs) were tested in sera of the patients. In addition to transmission disequilibrium tests, haplotype analyses were carried out using the unphased software. RESULTS SNP rs10186193 (at RNASEH1 gene) showed association with T1D (P = 0.005). The additional five SNPs revealed that rs7607888 (P = 2.03 × 10-7), rs55981318 (P = 0.018), and rs1136545 (P = 1.93 × 10-9) were also associated with T1D. Haplotype analysis showed association for rs55981318-rs10186193 (P = 0.0005), rs7563960-rs7607888 (P = 0.0007), rs7607888-rs1136545 (P = 9.21 × 10-10), and rs1136545-rs11538545 (P = 6.67 × 10-8). In contrast, the new set of 97 familial trios tested for SNPs rs55981318, rs10186193, and rs7607888 did not support the previous finding; however, by combining the sample (197 trios), evidence of association of T1D with rs55981318 and rs7607888 was conclusive. In addition, a two-loci haplotype analysis of the combined sample showed significant association of RNASEH1 with T1D (P = 3.1 × 10-5). CONCLUSION In conclusion, our analyses suggest that RNASEH1 gene variants associate with susceptibility/protection to T1D in Colombia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The War on Drugs has raised the incarceration rates of racial minorities for non-violent drug-related crimes, profoundly stigmatized drug users, and redirected resources from drug prevention and treatment to militarizing federal and local law enforcement. Yet, while some states consider shifting their punitive approach to drug use, to one based on drug treatment and rehabilitation, nothing suggests that these policy shifts are being replicated in Puerto Rico. METHODS This paper utilizes data from 360 PWID residing in four rural towns in the mountainous area of central Puerto Rico. We initially recruited 315 PWID using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) and collected data about risk practices and conducted HIV and HCV testing. During a second phase, we conducted 34 micro-ethnographic assays, in which we randomly recruited 34 participants from the first phase and included their ego networks in this phase. Our ethnographic inquiry produced significant data regarding the effects of the war on drugs on the local drug trade, drug availability, and injectors' social networks. RESULTS Findings suggest that repressive policing has been ineffective in preventing drug distribution and use among those in our study. This type of law enforcement approach has resulted in the disproportionate incarceration of poor drug users in rural Puerto Rico, and mainly for nonviolent drug-related crimes. In addition, incarceration exposes PWID to a form of a cruel and unusual punishment: having to quit heroin "cold turkey" while the prison environment also represents a HIV/HCV risk. In turn, the war on drugs not only diverts resources from treatment but also shapes treatment ideologies, punishing non-compliant patients. CONCLUSION Shifting the emphasis from repression to treatment and rehabilitation is likely to have a positive impact on the health and overall quality of life of PWID and their communities.

Abstract
Reconstructing the dynamic response of the Antarctic ice sheets to warming during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT; 18,000–11,650 yrs ago) allows us to disentangle ice-climate feedbacks that are key to improving future projections. Whilst the sequence of events during this period is reasonably well-known, relatively poor chronological control has precluded precise alignment of ice, atmospheric and marine records, making it difficult to assess relationships between Antarctic ice-sheet (AIS) dynamics, climate change and sea level. Here we present results from a highly-resolved ‘horizontal ice core’ from the Weddell Sea Embayment, which records millennial-scale AIS dynamics across this extensive region. Counterintuitively, we find AIS mass-loss across the full duration of the Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR; 14,600–12,700 yrs ago), with stabilisation during the subsequent millennia of atmospheric warming. Earth-system and ice-sheet modelling suggests these contrasting trends were likely Antarctic-wide, sustained by feedbacks amplified by the delivery of Circumpolar Deep Water onto the continental shelf. Given the anti-phase relationship between inter-hemispheric climate trends across the LGT our findings demonstrate that Southern Ocean-AIS feedbacks were controlled by global atmospheric teleconnections. With increasing stratification of the Southern Ocean and intensification of mid-latitude westerly winds today, such teleconnections could amplify AIS mass loss and accelerate global sea-level rise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not routinely performed before initiating radium-223 to document spinal epidural disease. However, radium-223 decays to form α-particles with very short path lengths that may not reach the epidural space. Herein, we investigate the impact of baseline spinal epidural disease on metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients treated with radium-223. METHODS Between October 2013 to December 2014, 41 consecutive mCRPC patients at a large tertiary cancer center were prescribed radium-223 as part of standard of care. 29% of patients had pre-treatment epidural disease (posMRI), 27% had no epidural disease (negMRI), and 44% did not have a baseline MRI (noMRI). All patients had post-treatment spinal imaging. Actuarial survival times were calculated for overall survival (OS), spinal axis radiographic progression-free survival (spinePFS) and epidural progression-free survival (epiPFS) from time of first radium-223 treatment. RESULTS For patients with posMRI (n=12), noMRI (n=18) and negMRI (n=11) cumulative rates of development or worsening of epidural disease and/or high-grade cord compression at time of last follow-up were 83%, 44% and 9%, respectively (P=0.001). For the posMRI, noMRI and negMRI groups the median OS was 6.3 months, 12.6 months and not reached (P=0.01), the median spinePFS was 3.2 months, 4.8 months and not reached (P=0.01), and the median epiPFS was 3.2 months, 10.4 months and not reached (P=0.001). Completing less than six cycles of radium-223 was significantly associated with worse OS (P<0.0001), spinePFS (P=0.007) and epiPFS (P=0.01). Greater than or equal to twenty osseous lesions pre-treatment was significantly associated with worse spinePFS (P=0.001) and epiPFS (P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS In a heavily pre-treated small cohort, patients with baseline epidural disease frequently progressed to spinal cord compression and early cessation of radium-223 therapy. Studies are needed to determine the optimal timing of radium-223 with other mCRPC therapies given the predilection for epidural disease and treatment failure after multiple prior lines of mCRPC therapy.
