Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to establish a baseline of national practice for follow-up after treatment for endometrial cancer in the UK. MATERIALS AND METHODS An online cross-sectional survey was developed and distributed through the Royal College of Radiologists via an email link to the audit leads of radiotherapy centres in the UK. The survey was conducted from November 2021 to 5 January 2022. The main themes assessed in the survey were the form, frequency and duration of follow-up practices. RESULTS There were a total of 43/61 (70%) complete responses. 93% of centres had a standard follow-up protocol and 7% who did not have a follow-up protocol discharged patients after the post-operative review. Five centres (13%) used molecular profiling to inform follow-up practices. Patient-initiated follow-up was mainly used in the cohort of patients who had surgery alone with no adjuvant treatment (68%, (19/28)). In the cohort who had face-to-face follow-up, the majority had pelvic examinations as part of their review and total follow-up for five years. 93% of respondents are interested in a national follow-up protocol. CONCLUSION Our data shows that there is national variation in practise with regard to follow-up of women treated for endometrial cancer. Many of the follow-up practises are based on conventional follow-up regimens and these may fail to address the more holistic needs of cancer survivors. Recent publication of updated guidance from the British Gynaecological Cancer Society may help standardise practise and provide a more relevant approach to follow-up for women treated for endometrial cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimizing immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy may require identification of co-targetable checkpoint pathways via immune profiling. Herein, we analyzed the transcriptomic expression and clinical correlates of V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA), a promising targetable checkpoint. PATIENTS AND METHODS RNA sequencing was carried out on 514 tissues reflecting diverse advanced/metastatic cancers. Expression of eight immune checkpoint markers [lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 14 (TNFRSF14), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), programmed death-ligand 2 (PD-L2), B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA), T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (TIM-3), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4)], in addition to VISTA, was analyzed, along with clinical outcomes. RESULTS High VISTA RNA expression was observed in 32% of tumors (66/514) and was the most common highly expressed checkpoint among the nine assessed. High VISTA expression was independently correlated with high BTLA, TIM-3, and TNFRSF14, and with a diagnosis of pancreatic, small intestine, and stomach cancer. VISTA transcript levels did not correlate with overall survival (OS) from metastatic/advanced disease in the pan-cancer cohort or with immunotherapy outcome (progression-free survival and OS from the start of ICI) in 217 ICI-treated patients. However, in ICI-treated pancreatic cancer patients (n = 16), median OS was significantly shorter (from immunotherapy initiation) for the high- versus not-high-VISTA groups (0.28 versus 1.21 years) (P = 0.047); in contrast, VISTA levels were not correlated with OS in 36 pancreatic cancer patients who did not receive ICI. CONCLUSION High VISTA expression correlates with high BTLA, TIM-3, and TNFRSF14 checkpoint-related molecules and with poorer post-immunotherapy survival in pancreatic cancer, consistent with prior literature indicating that VISTA is prominently expressed on CD68+ macrophages in pancreatic cancers and requiring validation in larger prospective studies. Immunomic analysis may be important for individualized precision immunotherapy.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this work was to evaluate colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes after 'low' (sub-threshold) faecal immunochemical test (FIT) results in symptomatic patients tested in primary care. METHOD This work comprised a retrospective audit of 35 289 patients with FIT results who had consulted their general practitioner with lower gastrointestinal symptoms and had subsequent CRC diagnoses. The Rapid Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis pathway was introduced in November 2017 to allow incorporation of FIT into clinical practice. The local '4F' protocol combined FIT results with blood tests and digital rectal examination (DRE): FIT, full blood count, ferritin and finger [DRE]. The outcome used was detection rates of CRC, missed CRC and time to diagnosis in local 4F protocols for patients with a subthreshold faecal haemoglobin (fHb) result compared with thresholds of 10 and 20 μg Hb/g faeces. RESULTS A single threshold of 10 μg Hb/g faeces identifies a population in whom the risk of CRC is 0.2%, but this would have missed 63 (10.5%) of 599 CRCs in this population. The Nottingham 4F protocol would have missed fewer CRCs [42 of 599 (7%)] despite using a threshold of 20 μg Hb/g faeces for patients with normal blood tests. Subthreshold FIT results in patients subsequently diagnosed with a palpable rectal tumour yielded the longest delays in diagnosis. CONCLUSION A combination of FIT with blood results and DRE (the 4F protocol) reduced the risk of missed or delayed diagnosis. Further studies on the impact of such protocols on the diagnostic accuracy of FIT are expected. The value of adding blood tests to FIT may be restricted to specific parts of the fHb results spectrum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate pathogenic mechanisms underlying JDM, we defined the effect of type I IFN, IFN-α and IFN-β, on pediatric skeletal muscle function and expression of myositis-related proteins using an in vitro engineered human skeletal muscle model (myobundle). METHODS Primary myoblasts were isolated from three healthy pediatric donors and used to create myobundles that mimic functioning skeletal muscle in structural architecture and physiologic function. Myobundles were exposed to 0, 5, 10 or 20 ng/ml IFN-α or IFN-β for 7 days and then functionally tested under electrical stimulation and analyzed immunohistochemically for structural and myositis-related proteins. Additionally, IFN-β-exposed myobundles were treated with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) tofacitinib and baricitinib. These myobundles were also analyzed for contractile force and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS IFN-β, but not IFN-α, was associated with decreased contractile tetanus force and slowed twitch kinetics. These effects were reversed by tofacitinib and baricitinib. Type I IFN paradoxically reduced myobundle fatigue, which did not reverse after JAKi. Additionally, type I IFN correlated with MHC I upregulation, which normalized after JAKi treatment, but expression of myositis-specific autoantigens Mi-2, melanocyte differentiation-associated protein 5 and the endoplasmic reticulum stress marker GRP78 were variable and donor specific after type I IFN exposure. CONCLUSION IFN-α and IFN-β have distinct effects on pediatric skeletal muscle and these effects can partially be reversed by JAKi treatment. This is the first study illustrating effective use of a three-dimensional human skeletal muscle model to investigate JDM pathogenesis and test novel therapeutics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent evidence suggests that acute emergency management of mandible fractures does not improve surgical outcomes yet is associated with increased financial burden. Current NHS policy advocating for increased adoption of day-case and semi-elective surgical procedures to reduce bed strain must be balanced with providing timely, effective treatment. Our research aims to determine patient groups currently managed via semi-elective admission and whether this can be extended to other groups to provide safe and effective management of mandible fractures. METHODS A multi-national trainee-led audit of mandibular fractures across 49 units was completed by the Maxillofacial Trainee Research Collaborative (MTReC). Each unit prospectively collected data on fractures on admission and at follow-up. Data collected included patient demographics, behaviour, health, injury, timing to intervention and surgical complications. RESULTS Data were collected on 947 mandibular fractures. Of the surgically managed patients, 649 (90%) were managed via acute emergency admission at the time of presentation, while 68 (10%) were managed semi-electively. Patient demographics, injury pattern and mechanism appeared to significantly affect timing of management, whereas patient behaviour, health status, timing of injury and presentation did not. Semi-elective management was associated with a significantly shorter inpatient duration (0.9 versus 1.9 days, p=0.000) with no differences in readmission, antibiotic usage or surgical complications (p=1.000, RR 1.030). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates the efficacy of planned admissions and semi-elective management of mandibular fractures. Simple mandibular fractures in compliant patients are suitable for semi-elective treatment. Holistic patient assessment and tailored surgical planning is crucial in determining admission modality to effectively manage mandibular trauma.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) can provide essential hemodynamic data to assist in managing critical patients with cardiogenic shock. The use of PAC has been controversial as clinical studies have shown a lack of benefit. However, with the recent widespread availability of mechanical circulatory assists devices, the application and benefits of PAC are expected to rise.
Purpose
To determine the impact of PAC on inpatient outcomes and the utilization of advanced heart failure devices in these patients.
Methods
The National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2018 was queried to identify patients with cardiogenic shock. Of these patients, we compared those who received invasive hemodynamic monitoring (IHM) with PAC to those who did not receive PAC. Patients under age 18 and those undergoing surgical or transcatheter cardiac procedures during the same admission were excluded. Multivariate logistic regression was used to select matched samples between groups accounting for patient/hospital demographics and medical comorbidities. The primary endpoint was a comparison of in-hospital mortality, length of hospitalization, and medical costs. The secondary endpoints compared the utilization of mechanical circulatory assists devices: percutaneous ventricular assist devices (pVAD), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and left ventricular assist device (LVAD), and the incidence of post-PAC complications: pneumothorax, sepsis, and hemorrhage/hematoma.
Results
We identified a total of 279,619 patients admitted with cardiogenic shock, of these patients 25,166 (9%) received IHM with PAC. Patients who had PAC had decreased in-hospital mortality (22.3% vs 29.7%; p<0.001), increased length of hospitalization (12 days vs 9 days; p<0.001), and increased medical costs ($65,884 vs $47,983; p<0.001). Furthermore, in patients with PAC there was increased utilization of pVAD (4.5% vs 1.9%; p<0.001), ECMO (0.07% vs 0.01%; p<0.001), and LVAD (2.2% vs 0.3%; p<0.001). There was no difference in the prevalence of post-PAC complications between both groups.
Conclusions
The use of IHM with PAC was associated with improved mortality and utilization of mechanical circulatory assist devices in patients with cardiogenic shock without increasing risk for post-procedural complications. Therefore, the increased average duration and medical costs of hospitalization with PAC patients likely resulted from improved patient survival. Therefore, the present study indicated that IHM with PAC is safe and beneficial for patients with cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder characterized by an autoimmune response to an unidentified antigen in genetically susceptible persons. Despite clinically detectable cardiac manifestations of sarcoidosis occurring in approximately 5% of patients, recent studies have revealed cardiac involvement to be at 25% in patients with the disease, highlighting the fact that cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is much more common than was once thought to be.
Purpose
With cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis being increasingly recognized due to the availability of advanced cardiac imaging, large scale data regarding in-hospital mortality and clinical outcomes of patients admitted with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is lacking. Our study aimed to fill this knowledge gap by analyzing demographics and in-hospital outcomes of a large cohort of patients admitted with CS across the United States (US).
Methods
We analyzed data from the national inpatient sample (NIS) database between October 2015 to December 2018 to identify patients who had been admitted with primary and secondary diagnoses of CS. The NIS is an administrative database sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality consisting of data from 46 participating states, representing more than 95% of the US population and providing nationwide estimates of over 35 million hospitalizations annually. The NIS uses de-identified hospital discharges as samples and hence no additional ethical committee approval was required. International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code D86.85 was used to identify hospitalizations with CS in patients aged 18 years or older. SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute, Inc, Cary, NC) was used for statistical analyses.
Results
A total of 4275 patients were included in the analysis. A higher proportion of patients with CS were females (62.43% vs. 37.57%). Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (43.99%), followed by hyperlipidemia (39.21%) and chronic kidney disease (26.95%). All-cause in-hospital mortality was 2.57%. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was the most common arrhythmia (28.12%), followed by ventricular tachycardia (VT) (22.52%). About 16% of CS patients underwent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation during hospital stay. About 42% of patients had concurrent heart failure, out of whom 33.84% had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Mean length of hospital stay was 5 days (3–8 days), and the mean cost of hospitalization was $14,177 ($7,121–35,993).
Conclusion
Given the low prevalence of CS, most of the available studies have been retrospective in nature, based on small sample sizes. Despite being retrospective and cross-sectional, our study has the advantage of being based on a nationally representative sample population, providing key formation on the demographics and in-hospital outcomes of patients with CS.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing of alloys enables low-volume production of functional metallic components with complex geometries. Ultrasonic testing can ensure the quality of these components and detect typical defects generated during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). However, it is difficult to find a single ultrasonic inspection technique that can detect defects in the large variety of geometries generated using LPBF. In this work, phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) is suggested to inspect thick LPBF components, while guided waves are explored for thin curved ones. PAUT is used to detect cylindrical lack of fusion defects in thick LPBF rectangular parts. Practical defects are generated by reducing the laser power at prespecified locations in the samples. The defects' shape and density are verified using optical microscopy and X-ray computed tomography. Partially fused defects down to 0.25 mm in diameter are experimentally detected using a 10 MHz PAUT probe with the total focusing method post-processing. The experimental results are compared to defect images predicted by finite element simulations. For thin components with curved geometry, guided waves are used to detect powder-filled cylindrical defects. The waves are generated using piezoelectric transducers, and the spatiotemporal wavefield is measured using a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer. Using root-mean-square imaging of the wavefield, defects down to 1 mm are clearly detected despite the complex internal features in the samples.

Abstract
The FDA granted expedited approval for Johnson and Johnson's Bedaquiline to treat pulmonary multidrug resistant tuberculosis on 28 December 2012 which is more common in China, Russian Federation and India. Bedaquiline is the first anti-tubercular drug approved by the FDA in the last 40 years, and it has become a cynosure in the circles of synthetic chemists researching new anti-tubercular drugs. Bedaquiline's highly lipophilic nature raises major concerns like suppression of the hERG gene, hepatotoxicity, and phospholipidosis despite its potential antitubercular profile. To address these toxicity concerns, in the present work, we have employed the structural optimization of Bedaquiline using the ADMETopt web server, which optimizes lead with scaffold hopping and ADMET screening. The ADMETopt web server yielded the 476 structures through optimization of three sites in Bedaquiline. Further, we have validated the optimized structures for their activity by performing molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations against the mycobacterial ATP synthase enzyme and density functional theory (DFT) study further provides insight into the reactivity of the compounds. After screening and analysis, compound #449 was observed to be the most promising mycobacterial ATP synthase inhibitor with minimal cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and phospholipidosis.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily targeting the joints. Autoreactive immune cells involved in RA affect other tissues, including skeletal muscle. Patients with RA experience diminished physical function, limited mobility, reduced muscle function, chronic pain, and increased mortality. To explore the impact of RA on skeletal muscle, we engineered electrically responsive, contractile human skeletal muscle constructs (myobundles) using primary skeletal muscle cells isolated from the vastus lateralis muscle of 11 RA patients (aged 57-74) and 10 aged healthy donors (aged 55-76), as well as from the hamstring muscle of six young healthy donors (less than 18 years of age) as a benchmark. Since all patients were receiving treatment for the disease, RA disease activity was mild. In 2D culture, RA myoblast purity, growth rate, and senescence were not statistically different than aged controls; however, RA myoblast purity showed greater variance compared to controls. Surprisingly, in 3D culture, contractile force production by RA myobundles was greater compared to aged controls. In support of this finding, assessment of RA myofiber maturation showed increased area of sarcomeric α-actinin (SAA) expression over time compared to aged controls. Furthermore, a linear regression test indicated a positive correlation between SAA protein levels and tetanus force production in RA and controls. Our findings suggest that medications prescribed to RA patients may maintain-or even enhance-muscle function, and this effect is retained and observed in in vitro culture. Future studies regarding the effects of RA therapeutics on RA skeletal muscle, in vivo and in vitro, are warranted.

Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people may use substances like cannabis for enhancement or coping purposes. Behavioral economic demand for a substance is a key determinant of its use and misuse and can be measured via hypothetical purchase tasks. Previous research suggests that motivations to use a substance play a mediational role between elevated substance demand and problems, but comparable mechanistic research has yet to be done in the COVID-19 context and on the effects of cannabis demand on cannabis use patterns. Participants (n = 137) were recruited via the online crowdsourcing platform Prolific. Participants completed measures of cannabis use and problems, motivations for cannabis use, and the Marijuana Purchase Task. Two indices of demand, Persistence (i.e., sensitivity to increasing cost of cannabis) and Amplitude (i.e., consumption of cannabis at unrestricted cost), were related to increased cannabis problems via the use motive of coping during the COVID-19 pandemic. This model did not support the mediational role of enhancement motives. Those with increased cannabis demand who tend to use cannabis to cope are at increased risk of experiencing negative cannabis-related consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The long-term implications of pacemaker insertion in younger adults are poorly described in the literature.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive younger adult patients (18–50 years) undergoing pacemaker implantation at a quaternary hospital between 1986–2020. Defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices were excluded. All clinical records, pacemaker checks and echocardiograms were reviewed.
Results
81 patients (39.5±9.6 years, 53% male) underwent pacemaker implantation. Indications were complete heart block (41%), sinus node dysfunction (33%), high grade AV block (11%) and tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (7%). During a median 7.6 (IQR=0.6–14.8) years follow-up, 9 patients (11%) developed 13 late device-related complications (generator or lead malfunction requiring reoperation (n=11), device infection (n=1) and pocket revision (n=1)). Five of these patients were <40 years old at time of pacemaker insertion. At long-term follow-up, a further 9 patients (11%) experienced significant symptoms from inadequate lead performance managed with device reprogramming. Sustained ventricular tachycardia was detected in 2 patients (2%). Deterioration in ventricular function (LVEF decline >10%) was observed in 14 patients (17%) and 7 of these patients required subsequent biventricular upgrade. Furthermore, 4 patients (5%) developed new tricuspid regurgitation (≥ moderate-severe). Of 69 patients with available long-term pacing data, minimal pacemaker utilisation (pacing <5% at all checks) was observed in 13 (19%) patients.
Conclusions
Pacemaker insertion in younger adults has significant long-term implications. Clinicians should carefully consider pacemaker insertion in this cohort given risk of device-related complications, potential for device under-utilisation and issues related to lead longevity. In addition, patients require close follow-up for development of structural abnormalities and arrhythmias.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Home inotropes are utilised in those with end-stage heart failure as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. The use of intravenous dobutamine has been linked to cases of eosinophilic myocardial hypersensitivity (EMH), however, little is known about incidence and predictors.
Purpose
We sought to examine the incidence and possible predictors of eosinophilic myocardial hypersensitivity in a cohort of patients on home inotrope therapy at a cardiac transplant centre.
Methods
Patients enrolled in the home inotrope program with progression to heart transplantation or ventricular assist device (VAD) with available myocardial tissue for histopathology, from January 2000 to May 2020 were included. EMH was defined by a pathologist reporting eosinophilic infiltrate with hypersensitivity on myocardial histopathology.
Results
From a cohort of 74 patients, 58% (43) were on dobutamine and 42% (31) were on milrinone. There were zero cases of EMH in those on milrinone. EMH was identified in 14% (6/43) of patients receiving dobutamine. In the dobutamine cohort, the mean age was 52-±12 years, with 22% being female. Non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy encompassed 62%, the remaining 38% were ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Median dobutamine dose (250 [200–282] mcg/min vs. 225 [200–291] mcg/min) and duration of therapy (41 [23–79] days vs. 53 [24–91] days) were similar between those with and without EMH. Rates of known allergy (27% vs. 33%) and asthma (1 patient in each group) were also similar between those with and without EMH. Those with EMH had a median peak eosinophil count of 0.40×109/L (IQR 0.21–0.66×109/L) compared to a peak of only 0.10×109/L (IQR 0.06–0.29×109/L) in the non-EMH cohort. There was a significant difference in the change in absolute eosinophil count between groups; over the duration of dobutamine therapy the median change in eosinophil count was 0.31×109/L (IQR 0.21–0.59×109/L) in the EMH group compared to 0.03×109/L (IQR 0.00–0.14×109/L) in the non-EMH cohort (p=0.02). Peak C-reactive protein was similar between groups (42±46mg/L vs. 44±45mg/L). Mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduced from 19% (±7%) to 17% (±2%) in those with EMH, while LVEF increased from 20% (±7%) to 22% (±9%) in non-EMH patients (Figure 1), p=NS. Re-presentation with heart failure requiring hospitalisation occurred in 83% in the EMH group compared to only 59% in the non-EMH group (p=0.26). The majority of patients with EMH (83%) required VAD as bridge to transplant, compared to only 41% of non-EMH (p=0.05).
Conclusion(s)
EMH occurred in 14% of patients receiving home dobutamine. Patients who developed EMH were more likely to require escalation in treatment to VAD as a bridge to heart transplant. In patients receiving dobutamine a reduction in LVEF, hospitalisation with decompensated heart failure and rising eosinophil count should prompt physicians to consider EMH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are chronic inflammatory diseases that often affect women of childbearing age. Detailed information about pregnancy and related outcomes across these indications in patients exposed to ixekizumab is lacking. OBJECTIVES To evaluate pregnancy outcomes after maternal or paternal exposure to ixekizumab in patients with psoriasis, PsA, or axSpA. METHODS Pregnancy cases from clinical trials and post-marketing reports, associated with either maternal or paternal exposure to ixekizumab cumulatively through 22 March 2019, were identified in the Eli Lilly Global Safety Database and described separately. RESULTS One hundred and ninety-three ixekizumab-exposed pregnancies were identified. Maternal exposure occurred in 51.3% of pregnancies (clinical trials: n = 58; post-marketing: n = 41). The majority of paternal exposure pregnancies occurred in clinical trials (91 of 94). Live births were reported for 53.8 and 61.1% of known outcomes in maternal exposure pregnancies during clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance, respectively. No congenital malformations resulting from maternal exposure were reported in clinical trials: one case, not causally related to ixekizumab therapy, was recorded in the post-marketing setting. CONCLUSIONS This integrated safety analysis provides relevant information for clinicians treating patients with psoriasis, PsA, or axSpA with ixekizumab. No new safety signals were identified in patients receiving ixekizumab.

Abstract
Background:Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) require long-term treatment, which may lead to adverse events (AEs). Ixekizumab, an interleukin-17A antagonist, is approved for the treatment of adults with active PsA.Objectives:We report a summary of safety outcomes for patients enrolled in 4 PsA studies with up to 3 years of exposure to ixekizumab.Methods:This integrated safety analysis included all patients with PsA who received at least 1 dose of ixekizumab (80 mg every 2 or 4 weeks) in 4 clinical trials (NCT01695239, NCT02349295, NCT02584855, NCT03151551). Safety outcomes included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious AEs (SAEs), discontinuations due to AEs, deaths, and AEs of special interest.Results:A total of 1401 patients were included in this safety analysis (51.5% female; mean age 49 years), with 2247.6 patient-years of exposure (Table 1). In all, 1131 patients (80.7%) reported ≥1 TEAE (exposure-adjusted incidence rate per 100 patient-years [IR] 50.3, 95% CI 47.5–53.3), mostly mild (32.9%) or moderate (39.7%) in severity. The most common TEAEs were nasopharyngitis (n=202, IR 9.0), upper respiratory infections (n=186, IR 8.3), and injection site reaction (n=156, IR 6.9). SAEs were reported by 134 patients (IR 6.0, 95% CI 5.0–7.1). 115 (8.2%) patients discontinued due to AEs (IR 5.1, 95% CI 4.3–6.1). Six deaths were reported (IR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1–0.6). Allergic reactions/hypersensitivity were reported in 102 patients (IR 4.5, 95% CI 3.7–5.5). Three cases were adjudicated as de novo inflammatory bowel disease (IR 0.13, 95% CI 0.04–0.41); 1 was ulcerative colitis (IR 0.04, 95% CI 0.01–0.32), 2 were Crohn’s disease (IR 0.09, 95% CI 0.02–0.36). Major adverse cardiac events occurred in 12 patients (IR 0.5) and malignancies in 15 (IR 0.7), 9 of which were non-melanoma skin cancer. Opportunistic infections occurred in 40 (2.9%) patients (IR 1.8, 95% CI 1.3–2.4). Candidiasis occurred in 24 patients (oral: IR 0.7, 95% CI 0.4–1.2; oral fungal infection: IR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1–0.6; esophageal infection: IR 0.1, 95% CI 0.0–0.4). No active or reactive cases of tuberculosis were reported. Other opportunistic infections included hepatitis B (IR 0.0, 95% CI 0.0–0.3), herpes simplex (IR 1.8, 95% CI 1.3–2.5), and herpes zoster (IR 0.7, 95% CI 0.4–1.2).Conclusion:The safety profile of ixekizumab across 4 clinical trials and up to 3 years of continuous treatment in patients with active PsA was consistent with the known safety profile reported in previous studies for psoriasis and PsA. No new safety events were found in this analysis.Pooled Ixekizumab(N=1401; Total Patient-Years=2247.6)n (IR)95% CIYear 0–1(n=1401)n (IR)95% CIYear 1–2(n=946)n (IR)95% CIYear 2–3(n=510)n (IR)95% CIYear ≥3(n=89)n (IR)95% CITotal Patient-Years2247.71207.3689.8347.72.9Patients with ≥1 TEAE1131 (50.3)1050 (87.0)496 (71.9)234 (67.3)6 (206.2)47.5–53.381.9–92.465.9–78.559.2–76.592.6–458.9SAEs134 (6.0)72 (6.0)53 (7.7)19 (5.5)1 (34.4)5.0–7.14.7–7.55.9–10.13.5–8.64.8–243.9Discontinuations due to AEs115 (5.1)61 (5.1)37 (5.4)17 (4.9)0 (0)4.3–6.13.9–6.53.9–7.43.0–7.90.0–274.7Hepatic reactions112 (5.0)80 (6.6)32 (4.6)14 (4.0)0 (0)4.1–6.05.3–8.33.3–6.62.4–6.80.0–274.7Allergic reaction/hypersensitivity102 (4.5)83 (6.9)23 (3.3)5 (1.4)0 (0)3.7–5.55.5–8.52.2–5.00.6–3.50.0–274.7Serious infection28 (1.2)18 (1.5)9 (1.3)3 (0.9)0 (0)0.9–1.80.9–2.40.7–2.50.3–2.70.0–274.7Malignancies15 (0.7)4 (0.3)8 (1.2)4 (1.2)0 (0)0.4–1.10.1–0.90.6–2.30.4–3.10.0–274.7Major adverse cardiac events12 (0.5)3 (0.2)8 (1.2)1 (0.3)0 (0)0.3–0.90.1–0.80.6–2.30.0–2.00.0–274.7Inflammatory bowel disease3 (0.1)3 (0.2)1 (0.1)0 (0.0)0 (0.0)0.0–0.40.1–0.80.0–1.00.0–2.30.0–274.7 Ulcerative colitis1 (0.0)1 (0.1)1 (0.1)0 (0.0)0 (0.0)0.0–0.30.0–0.60.0–1.00.0–2.30.0–274.7 Crohn’s disease2 (0.1)2 (0.2)0 (0.0)0 (0.0)0 (0.0)0.0–0.40.0–0.70.0–1.20.0–2.30.0–274.7AE, adverse event; CI, confidence interval; IR, exposure-adjusted incidence rate per 100 patient-years; SAE, serious adverse event; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.Disclosure of Interests:Carlos Sesin Speakers bureau: Amgen, AbbVie, Sanofi, Radius, Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Company, Novartis, Gaia Gallo Shareholder of: Eli Lilly and Company, Employee of: Eli Lilly and Company, Amanda Gellett Shareholder of: Eli Lilly and Company, Employee of: Eli Lilly and Company, Andris Kronbergs Shareholder of: Eli Lilly and Company, Employee of: Eli Lilly and Company, Aubrey Trevelin Sprabery Shareholder of: Eli Lilly and Company, Employee of: Eli Lilly and Company, Wen Xu Shareholder of: Eli Lilly and Company, Employee of: Eli Lilly and Company, Himanshu Patel Shareholder of: Eli Lilly and Company, Employee of: Eli Lilly and Company, Atul Deodhar Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol Myers Squibb, Celgene, Eli Lilly and Company, Galapagos, Glaxo Smith & Kline, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Eli Lilly and Company, Glaxo Smith & Kline, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Bernard Combe Speakers bureau: AbbVie, BMS, Gilead-Galapagos, Eli Lilly and Company, MSD, Pfizer, Roche Chugai, Consultant of: AbbVie, Bayer, Gilead-Galapagos, Janssen, Eli Lilly and Company, Novartis, Roche Chugai, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Eli Lilly and Company, Pfizer, Roche Chugai, Gerd Rüdiger Burmester Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Janssen, Novartis, Eli Lilly and Company, MSD, Pfizer, Consultant of: AbbVie, Janssen, Novartis, Eli Lilly and Company, MSD, Pfizer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 commonly presents with upper respiratory symptoms; however, studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 infection affects multiple organ systems. Here, we review the pathophysiology and imaging characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection in organ systems throughout the body and explore commonalities. OBJECTIVE Familiarity with the underlying pathophysiology and imaging characteristics is essential for the radiologist to recognize these findings in patients with COVID-19 infection. Though pulmonary findings are the most prevalent presentation, COVID-19 may have multiple manifestations and recognition of the extrapulmonary manifestations is especially important because of the potential serious and long-term effects of COVID-19 on multiple organ systems.

Abstract
Colonic squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare, with no clear pathogenesis. It usually presents as an emergency. We present the surgical management of a descending colon squamous cell carcinoma, together with a review of the available cases of colonic squamous cell carcinoma in the literature. A 69-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass and abdominal pain. She underwent ultrasound and colonoscopy, which revealed a large obstructing mass at the descending colon, the biopsies of which were not diagnostic. Unfortunately, she was readmitted with bowel obstruction and underwent extended right hemicolectomy with en-bloc excision of attached small bowel and omentum because of local mass expansion. Histopathological analysis demonstrated squamous cell carcinoma with lymph node metastases. Palliative chemotherapy followed, owing to liver and peritoneal deposits. Sixty-six cases of colonic squamous cell carcinoma have been reported in the literature. The most common location is the right colon. Most cases present at a late stage. Several theories for the pathogenesis of colonic squamous cell carcinoma have been reported; the most popular is the squamous transformation of a pluripotent stem cell.
