Abstract
The blood protein Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is critical in facilitating arterial thrombosis. At pathologically high shear rates, the protein unfolds and binds to the arterial wall, enabling the rapid deposition of platelets from the blood. We present a novel continuum model for VWF dynamics in flow based on a modified viscoelastic fluid model that incorporates a single constitutive relation to describe the propensity of VWF to unfold as a function of the scalar shear rate. Using experimental data of VWF unfolding in pure shear flow, we fix the parameters for VWF's unfolding propensity and the maximum VWF length, so that the protein is half unfolded at a shear rate of approximately 5000 s - 1 . We then use the theoretical model to predict VWF's behaviour in two complex flows where experimental data are challenging to obtain: pure elongational flow and stenotic arterial flow. In pure elongational flow, our model predicts that VWF is 50% unfolded at approximately 2000 s - 1 , matching the established hypothesis that VWF unfolds at lower shear rates in elongational flow than in shear flow. We demonstrate the sensitivity of this elongational flow prediction to the value of maximum VWF length used in the model, which varies significantly across experimental studies, predicting that VWF can unfold between 2000 and 3200 s - 1 depending on the selected value. Finally, we examine VWF dynamics in a range of idealised arterial stenoses, predicting the relative extension of VWF in elongational flow structures in the centre of the artery compared to high shear regions near the arterial walls.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Up to 80% of metastatic patients face resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Combined SABR and ICI (I-SABR) can unleash antitumor immune cascades to overcome resistance and improve response with minimal toxicity. This synergy is particularly interesting in the oligoprogressive setting to extend the clinical benefit (CB) of ICI. However, there are no current biomarkers for patient selection. We hypothesize that differential expression of exosomal RNA in liquid biopsy may predict response to I-SABR. MATERIALS/METHODS Ongoing prospective multicenter study in two cohorts. Cohort A consists of metastatic patients in oligoprogression to ICI (1-5 extracranial sites) but maintaining the same ICI due to CB and who receive concomitant SABR (35 Gy in 5 fractions, fx) to oligoprogressive sites. Cohort B is a comparative group of oligometastatic patients receiving only SABR in ablative doses. Blood samples are extracted before SABR (T1), after the first (T2) and last (T3) fx, two months post-SABR (T4) and at further progression (TP). Response is evaluated by iRECIST and defined by the objective response rate (ORR) in all lesions (in and out-of-field)- complete and partial responses. For exosome analysis, we perform RNA isolation and small RNA sequencing from plasma. We use Cutadapt, Bowtie and featureCounts to quantify the number of reads of miRNA, small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA). Pairwise differences in expression in responders and non-responders are examined by DESeq2 differential expression analysis. Differentially expressed transcripts are consulted in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). RESULTS Of 22 patients recruited, we present preliminary results of the first 10 (8 from cohort A and 2 from B) that had undergone re-evaluation after SABR. Most frequent cancer types were lung (60%) and renal cell (20%). Seventy percent were polymetastatic (>5 lesions) and 90% had a single progressing site. Pembrolizumab (40%) and Nivolumab (30%) were the most frequent ICI. Most lesions for SABR were lung (45%). With a median follow-up of 7.1 months (95% CI, 3.7-10.6) ORR at two months was 60% (6 partial responses, 1 stable disease and 3 progressions). Median progression-free survival was 10.3 months (95% CI, 3.7-not reached) and median overall survival was not reached. Seven patients in cohort A were available for small RNA analysis. We identified 3 miRNA, 24 snRNA and 9 snoRNA that were significantly differentially expressed at T1. Hsa-miR-493, marker of tumor progression, was upregulated in non-responders. RN7SK inhibits LAS1L (a known inductor of metastasis in lung cancer) and was upregulated in responders. SNORD71, which is inhibited by ILF3 (promotor of progression), was also upregulated in responders. CONCLUSION I-SABR is an effective approach for extending CB of ICI in oligoprogressive patients. Exosomal RNA expression analysis in liquid biopsy is a novel and non-invasive technique that may predict response to this combination and aid in patient selection.

Abstract
Objective Women of childbearing age, including pregnant and breastfeeding women, report higher COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, but reasons for this hesitancy are unknown. We explored factors influencing vaccine decision-making among women of childbearing age in Victoria, Australia to inform strategies to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Methods Twenty-four women aged 18-40 years were interviewed July-October 2021. Interview data were analyzed thematically using an inductive, constructivist approach. Results Of 24 participants, 14 (57%) were vaccine-hesitant, of whom 10/14 pregnant or breastfeeding. Six key themes were identified: weighing up perceived risks for self and baby; availability of information; change and contradictions; vaccination above everything; practical issues – hurdles of inconvenience. Vaccine-hesitant women’s concerns included safety in pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility effects. Some participants expressed a loss of trust in healthcare providers following vaccine mandates. Conclusions Public health campaigns and communication should be tailored to address specific concerns to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake and prevent negative COVID-19 outcomes for women of childbearing age. Findings suggest that effective strategies to address hesitancy in this group may include providing robust short- and long-term safety data across fertility, birth outcomes and child development following COVID-19 vaccination. Other supportive strategies may include systemic changes like making childcare available at vaccination points (where practical), and using data linkage infrastructure to track post-vaccination outcomes.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are pervasive in the environment resulting in nearly universal detection in people. Human serum PFAS concentrations are strongly associated with increased serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and growing evidence suggests an association with serum triacylglycerides (TG). Here, we tested the hypothesis that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) dysregulates liver and serum triacylglycerides in human peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (hPPARα)-expressing mice fed an American diet. Mice were exposed to PFOA (3.5 mg/L) in drinking water for 6 weeks resulting in a serum concentration of 48 ± 9 μg/ml. In male and female hPPARα mice, PFOA increased total liver TG and TG substituted with saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Lack of expression of PPARα alone also increased total liver TG, and PFOA treatment had little effect on liver TG in PPARα null mice. In hPPARα mice, PFOA neither significantly increased nor decreased serum TG; however, there was a modest increase in TG associated with very low-density cholesterol particles in both sexes. Intriguingly, in female PPARα null mice, PFOA significantly increased serum TG, with a similar trend in males. PFOA also modified fatty acid and TG homeostasis-related gene expression in liver, in a hPPARα-dependent manner, but not in adipose. The results of our study and others reveal the importance of context (serum concentration and genotype) in determining the effect of PFOA on lipid homeostasis.

Abstract
Background:Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) although effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), show a variable response rate. Therefore, there is a need to identify treatment response predictors to inform therapy selection in order to practise precision medicine. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs that can alter gene expression by regulating messenger RNA translation. There is evidence for miRNA involvement in RA pathogenesis and they may serve as a useful biomarker of treatment response.Objectives:To identify miRNAs associated with response to TNFi in RA.Methods:Biologic naïve patients were selected from the Biologics in Rheumatoid Arthritis Genetics and Genomics Study Syndicate (BRAGGSS), a prospective multi-center UK study investigating treatment response biomarkers to TNFi with a primary outcome measure of change in DAS28 scores. Patients were stratified into European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) good or non-responders based on their 3 or 6-month DAS28-CRP score.Pre-treatment and 3-month post-treatment serum samples were substrates for miRNA profiling, which was conducted by FIRALIS using the HTG EdgeSeq miRNA whole transcriptome V2 targeted sequencing assay. Linear modelling using R package limma compared miRNA expression at (i) pre-treatment and at three-months, in EULAR good-responders and non-responders (ii) longitudinal change in expression from pre-treatment to three-months in EULAR good and non-responders.A literature search was conducted to identify miRNAs associated with RA as a diagnostic and/or treatment response predictor. Data on these miRNAs were extracted from the miRNAs identified in the serum samples. A correction for multiple testing was applied to statistical tests.Results:A total of 54 patients were analysed; of these, 35 (65%) were female, median disease duration [inter-quartile range] was 6 years [2 – 14] (n=51), and 44/51 (86%) patients were on a concomitant disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug. Of the 54 patients, 39 (72%) were classified as EULAR good-responders and 15 (28%) as non-responders. 1880 miRNAs were detected in the serum samples. 64 miRNAs were identified to be associated with RA from the literature, of which, 26 were identified in the serum samples tested.No difference in pre-treatment or three-month miRNA levels was seen comparing EULAR good-responders and non-responders (FDR p<0.05). There was a significant differential expression of four miRNAs at 3-months in good-responders compared with pre-treatment levels; miR-125a-3p (downregulated, p-value 0.002), miR-149-3p (upregulated, p-value 0.004), miR-766-3p (downregulated, p-value 0.008), miR-146b-5p (upregulated, p-value 0.006). No significant differences were observed between 3-months and baseline in non-responders.Conclusion:Although no pre-treatment miRNAs were associated with TNFi response, changes in the levels of four miRNAs were detected at 3-months compared to baseline in EULAR good-responders. Future work involves validation of these samples in a larger patient cohort and analysing miRNA levels at 6 and 12 months. Replication and validation of these results in larger studies are required to analyse the role of miRNAs in stratifying EULAR good-responders from non-responders at three-months, and as treatment response predictors to TNFi in RA.Acknowledgements:Joint last-author: Dr. Darren PlantDisclosure of Interests:Trixy David: None declared, Nisha Nair: None declared, James Oliver: None declared, Eric Schordan: None declared, Hüseyin Firat: None declared, Kimme Hyrich Consultant of: consultancy/honoraria from AbbVie, Grant/research support from: Pfizer, UCB, BMS, Ann Morgan: None declared, Anthony G Wilson: None declared, John D Isaacs Speakers bureau: consultancy/speaker fees from AbbVie, Gilead, Roche, UCB, Consultant of: consultancy/speaker fees from AbbVie, Gilead, Roche, UCB, Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Darren Plant: None declared, Anne Barton: None declared

Abstract
A key challenge for stem cell therapies is the delivery of therapeutic cells to the repair site. Magnetic targeting has been proposed as a platform for defining clinical sites of delivery more effectively. In this paper, we use a combined in vitro experimental and mathematical modelling approach to explore the magnetic targeting of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) labelled with magnetic nanoparticles using an external magnet. This study aims to (i) demonstrate the potential of magnetic tagging for MSC delivery, (ii) examine the effect of red blood cells (RBCs) on MSC capture efficacy and (iii) highlight how mathematical models can provide both insight into mechanics of therapy and predictions about cell targeting in vivo. In vitro MSCs are cultured with magnetic nanoparticles and circulated with RBCs over an external magnet. Cell capture efficacy is measured for varying magnetic field strengths and RBC percentages. We use a 2D continuum mathematical model to represent the flow of magnetically tagged MSCs with RBCs. Numerical simulations demonstrate qualitative agreement with experimental results showing better capture with stronger magnetic fields and lower levels of RBCs. We additionally exploit the mathematical model to make hypotheses about the role of extravasation and identify future in vitro experiments to quantify this effect.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Adolescence is a vulnerable period for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Transition is a process that guides these patients through adolescence and ensures a smooth transfer to adult services, in order improve adherence to medical care and reduce loss to follow-up. While the importance of a formal Transition process is widely recognised and a requirement for specialist services in the UK, the optimal structure and delivery of Transition remains a matter of debate.
Aims
To examine the different models of Transition currently in place in specialist CHD centres around the UK.
Methods
A survey of Adult CHD centres in the UK was performed. A focus was placed on the structure of the Transition service, relevant training and areas of perceived improvement.
Results
There were 10 responses to our survey covering 10 specialist CHD centres. All respondents were consultant adult CHD specialists, looking after patients from the age of 16 [14–17] years. All centres have a specialised Transition service, which runs from the age 13 [11–15] to 18 [16–25] years (duration of transition 5 [2–13] years). The majority of centres (80%) report providing transition care “well before” transfer to adult care, whereas 20% provide transition care at or immediately before transfer (i.e. first adult CHD appointment). Transition is delivered by physicians and clinical specialist nurses in approximately equal numbers in 9 (90%) centres and exclusively by clinical nurse specialists in 1 (10%) centre. A median of 2 [1–5] visits are planned for each patient, with 7 (70%) centres seeing patients at least twice during transition. The majority, but not all centres (70%) provide a health passport during transition. A significant number of centres felt they werer not receiving sufficient support in the following domains: financial (50%), training (30%), clinical space (30%), referrals from paediatrics (50%). All respondents felt that their Transition service had room for improvement. Other areas of improvement highlighted included reduction in loss to follow-up, difficulties in providing a Transition service to patients followed in peripheral hospitals, the need for more support from paediatric services in referring all appropriate patients, and dedicated administrative support. The vast majority of respondents (9, 90%) felt equipped with the appropriate skills to care for transition patients. However, few (2, 20%) had completed formal training in more than one area related to adolescent health and transition.
Conclusions
While all CHD centres have a Transition service, Transition models and delivery differs significantly. There is urgent need for research in this area to develop a unified model, greater financial support and relevant training to optimise care.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The Fontan circulation is successful in abolishing cyanosis and chronic volume overload in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients with single ventricle physiology. “Fontan failure” is a major cause of poor quality of life and mortality in these patients. Recently, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies have been used in Fontan patients with variable success, even though patients included in these studies are generally at the best end of the spectrum.
Aim
To assess contemporary patterns of PAH therapy in Fontan patients in large specialist CHD centres.
Methods
We identified all adult patients with a Fontan-type circulation under active follow-up in 8 specialist CHD centres between 2009 and 2019. Patients on PAH therapies were matched by age and gender to untreated patients (1:1 or 1:2). Baseline data were collated immediately prior to initiation of therapy (treated group) or from a synchronous routine clinical assessment (untreated group).
Results
During the study period, 70 Fontan patients were started on PAH therapy (6.5% of those under follow-up). The majority 63 (90.0%) were started on monotherapy with a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, 6 (8.6%) patients were started on an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) and 1 (1.4%) received early sequential therapy with a PDE5 inhibitor and ERA. Prostacyclin analogues were not used, and no patients received triple therapy. Overall, 51 (72.9%) patients started therapy electively (49% in outpatient clinic, 51% as day case admission), while 18 (25.7%) were treated following urgent hospital admission with fluid overload +/− acute kidney injury. The remainder (2,2.9%) started therapy following cardiac surgery. Adverse events during treatment were rare. Patients starting PAH therapy were matched to 112 untreated patients (table 1). Patients were well matched between groups for age (p=0.52) and sex (p=0.27). Treated patients were more likely to be significantly impaired than matched patients (56.7% vs. 8.6% in NYHA class III/IV, p<0.0001) and were more likely to have ascites (16.2% vs. 0.9%, p=0.0002). Treated patients were also more likely to have a lower albumin level (43 [14–56] vs. 45 [29–54], p=0.01) or to be on a loop diuretic e.g. furosemide (p<0.0001), at a higher daily dose (p<0.0001) than matched patients. Only a quarter of patients on therapies had no high-risk features (24.2%), 80% of whom were from a single centre.
Conclusion
A small minority of Fontan patients followed in specialist centres receive PAH therapies. PAH therapy was reserved in most centres for patients with more advanced disease, targeting predominantly those with a “failing Fontan” in an individualised approach, in line with the recent adult CHD American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. Further studied are needed to establish the role of PAH therapies in Fontan patients, provided that adult patients with advanced disease who are at increased risk of adverse outcome are included.

Abstract
Humans are exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in their drinking water, food, air, dust, and by direct use of consumer products. Increased concentrations of serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol are among the endpoints best supported by epidemiology. The objectives of this study were to generate a new model for examining PFAS-induced dyslipidemia and to conduct molecular studies to better define mechanism(s) of action. We tested the hypothesis that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure at a human-relevant level dysregulates expression of genes controlling cholesterol homeostasis in livers of mice expressing human PPARα (hPPARα). Female and male hPPARα and PPARα null mice were fed a diet based on the "What we eat in America" analysis and exposed to PFOA in drinking water (8 μM) for 6 weeks. This resulted in a serum PFOA concentration of 48 μg/ml. PFOA increased liver mass, which was associated with histologically-evident lipid accumulation. Pooled analyses of serum lipoprotein cholesterol suggest that PFOA increased serum cholesterol, particularly in male mice. PFOA induced PPARα and constitutive androstane receptor target gene expression in liver. Expression of genes in four pathways regulating cholesterol homeostasis were also measured. PFOA decreased expression of Hmgcr in a PPARα-dependent manner. PFOA decreased expression of Ldlr and Cyp7a1 in a PPARα-independent manner. Apob expression was not changed. Sex differences were evident. This novel study design (hPPARα mice, American diet, long term exposure) generated new insight on the effects of PFOA on cholesterol regulation in the liver and the role of hPPARα.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Risk models for primary prevention strategies in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) must incorporate the heterogeneous risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (LTVA) as stratified by underlying lesion.
Objectives
To determine lesion-specific risk for SCD and LTVA in ACHD.
Methods
We analyzed 3311 ACHD patients (50% males) prospectively followed-up for 37510 person/years. SCD cases were confirmed by means of the Spanish National Death Registry. In addition, we identified all cases of resuscitated cardiac arrest or ventricular tachycardia requiring cardioversion. According to the incidence rate of the composite end-point of SCD and LTVA, lesions were stratified into four groups of risk. Cumulative freedom from SCD or LTVA in patients at high, moderate, low and very low risk were compared by using Cox regression model with left truncation. The c-index of this lesion-specific risk stratification was calculated by using the β-coefficients. The discriminative ability of this lesion-specific risk stratification was also tested in an external cohort of 203 SCD-LTVA cases and 2287 controls from 20 different centers.
Results
71 patients experienced an event (53 SCD, 18 LTVA). Patients at highest risk (incidence rate >1%) were those with Rastelli procedure, severe coronary abnormalities, complex Fallot and cyanotic patients, either Eisenmenger or non-Eisenmenger; at moderate risk (incidence rate 0.25–1.0%) non-complex Fallot, Mustard/Senning repair, Fontan procedures and congenitally corrected transposition; at low risk (incidence rate 0.1–0.25%) Ebstein anomaly and left heart lesions; and at very low risk (incidence rate <0.1%) left-to-right shunts and right ventricular outflow lesions. The discriminative ability in a multicenter external cohort was excellent (c-index ranged from 0.748 to 0.819 by center).
Lesion-specific risk and C-index
Conclusions
A lesion-specific risk stratification based on the incidence rate of SCD and LTVA was performed and validated. This approach could result in a more individualized risk assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients are at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) may prevent SCD, but the evidence for primary prevention indications is still unsatisfactory. STUDY DESIGN PREVENTION-ACHD is a prospective study with which we aim to prospectively validate a new risk score model for primary prevention of SCD in ACHD patients, as well as the currently existing guideline recommendations. Patients are screened using a novel risk score to predict SCD as well as current ICD indications according to an international Consensus Statement. Patients are followed up for two years. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of SCD and sustained ventricular arrhythmias. The Study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03957824). CONCLUSION PREVENTION-ACHD is the first prospective study on SCD in ACHD patients. In the light of a growing and aging population of patients with more severe congenital heart defects, more robust clinical evidence on primary prevention of SCD is urgently needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pregnancies in women with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) are rare and are typically documented in case reports only. Early reports suggested high rates of maternal complications during pregnancy and the puerperium, including aortic dissection and uterine rupture, but information on fetal outcomes was very limited. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Eight specialist UK centres. SAMPLE Pregnant women with LDS. METHODS Data was collated on cardiac, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by LDS. RESULTS Twenty pregnancies in 13 women with LDS were identified. There was one miscarriage, one termination of pregnancy, and 18 livebirths. In eight women the diagnosis was known prior to pregnancy but only one woman had preconception counselling. In four women the diagnosis was made during pregnancy through positive genotyping, and the other was diagnosed following delivery. Five women had a family history of aortic dissection. There were no aortic dissections in our cohort during pregnancy or postpartum. Obstetric complications were common, including postpartum haemorrhage (33%) and preterm delivery (50%). In all, 14/18 (78%) of deliveries were by elective caesarean section, at a median gestational age at delivery of 37 weeks. Over half the infants (56%) were admitted to the neonatal unit following delivery. CONCLUSION Women with LDS require multidisciplinary specialist management throughout pregnancy. Women should be referred for preconception counselling to make informed decisions around pregnancy risk and outcomes. Early elective preterm delivery needs to be balanced against a high infant admission rate to the neonatal unit. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Pregnancy outcomes in women with Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent prospective studies support the feasibility of performing sentinel lymph node biopsy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in initially fine-needle aspiration cytology or ultrasound-guided biopsy-proven node-positive breast cancer. The main aid is to identify preoperative features that help us predict a complete axillary response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in these patients and thus select the candidates for sentinel lymph node biopsy post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy to avoid unnecessary axillary lymphadenectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective observational study with a total of 150 patients, biopsy-proven node-positive breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by breast surgery and axillary lymphadenectomy were included and retrospectively analysed. A predictive model was generated by a multivariate logistic regression analysis for pathological complete response-dependent variable. RESULTS The response of the primary lesion to neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to post-treatment magnetic resonance imaging, Her2/neu overexpression and a low estrogen receptor expression are associated with a higher rate of nodal pathologically complete response. The multivariant model generated a receiver operating characteristic curve with an area under the curve of 0.79 and a confidence interval of 0.72-0.87 at a 95% level of significance. CONCLUSIONS This model could be a helpful tool for the surgeon to help in predicting which cases have a higher likelihood of achieving a pathologically complete response and therefore selecting those who may benefit from a post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy sentinel lymph node biopsy and avoid unnecessary axillary lymphadenectomy.

Abstract
We develop a continuum model for the aggregation of cells cultured in a nutrient-rich medium in a culture well. We consider a 2D geometry, representing a vertical slice through the culture well, and assume that the cell layer depth is small compared with the typical lengthscale of the culture well. We adopt a continuum mechanics approach, treating the cells and culture medium as a two-phase mixture. Specifically, the cells and culture medium are treated as fluids. Additionally, the cell phase can generate forces in response to environmental cues, which include the concentration of a chemoattractant that is produced by the cells within the culture medium. The model leads to a system of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for the volume fraction and velocity of the cell phase, the culture medium pressure and the chemoattractant concentration, which must be solved subject to appropriate boundary and initial conditions. To gain insight into the system, we consider two model reductions, appropriate when the cell layer depth is thin compared to the typical length scale of the culture well: a (simple) 1D and a (more involved) thin-film extensional flow reduction. By investigating the resulting systems of equations analytically and numerically, we identify conditions under which small amplitude perturbations to a homogeneous steady state (corresponding to a spatially uniform cell distribution) can lead to a spatially varying steady state (pattern formation). Our analysis reveals that the simpler 1D reduction has the same qualitative features as the thin-film extensional flow reduction in the linear and weakly nonlinear regimes, motivating the use of the simpler 1D modelling approach when a qualitative understanding of the system is required. However, the thin-film extensional flow reduction may be more appropriate when detailed quantitative agreement between modelling predictions and experimental data is desired. Furthermore, full numerical simulations of the two model reductions in regions of parameter space when the system is not close to marginal stability reveal significant differences in the evolution of the volume fraction and velocity of the cell phase, and chemoattractant concentration.

Abstract
In this work, a new strategy for solving multiscale topology optimization problems is presented. An alternate direction algorithm and a precomputed offline microstructure database (Computational Vademecum) are used to efficiently solve the problem. In addition, the influence of considering manufacturable constraints is examined. Then, the strategy is extended to solve the coupled problem of designing both the macroscopic and microscopic topologies. Full details of the algorithms and numerical examples to validate the methodology are provided.

Abstract
A 6-year-old neutered female Jack Russell terrier was investigated for sudden onset prechiasmatic bilateral blindness, left circling, reduced proprioception in the right pelvic limb and right facial allodynia. Electroretinography was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination revealed that the right optic nerve and the optic chiasm were hyperintense on diffusion weighted imaging and hypointense on apparent diffusion coefficient map consistent with ischemic optic neuropathy. A concurrent lacunar infarct was detected in the left rostral colliculus. Primary systemic hypertension was diagnosed based on blood pressure measurement and no detectable abnormalities on hematology, comprehensive serum biochemistry, urinalysis including protein/creatinine and cortisol/creatinine ratios and thoracic/abdominal imaging. Prednisolone for 10 days and amlodipine long-term were administered. Vision was not recovered after 7 months. Repeat MRI supported the diagnosis of ischemic lesions and revealed a recent striatocapsular infarct. Ischemic optic neuropathy is a well-recognized cause of blindness in humans and should be included as a differential diagnosis for acute prechiasmatic blindness in dogs.

Abstract
The Particle Finite Element Method, a lagrangian finite element method based on a continuous Delaunay re-triangulation of the domain, is used to study machining of Ti6Al4V. In this work the method is revised and applied to study the influence of the cutting speed on the cutting force and the chip formation process. A parametric methodology for the detection and treatment of the rigid tool contact is presented. The adaptive insertion and removal of particles are developed and employed in order to sidestep the difficulties associated with mesh distortion, shear localization as well as for resolving the fine-scale features of the solution. The performance of PFEM is studied with a set of different two-dimensional orthogonal cutting tests. It is shown that, despite its Lagrangian nature, the proposed combined finite element-particle method is well suited for large deformation metal cutting problems with continuous chip and serrated chip formation.

Abstract
The Domain Interface Method (DIM) is extended in this contribution for the case of mixed fields as encountered in multiphysics problems. The essence of the non-conforming domain decomposition technique consists in a discretization of a fictitious zero-thickness interface as in the original methodology and continuity of the solution fields across the domains is satisfied by incorporating the corresponding Lagrange Multipliers. The multifield DIM inherits the advantages of its irreducible version in the sense that the connections between non-matching meshes, with possible geometrically non-conforming interfaces, is accounted by the automatic Delaunay interface discretization without considering master and slave surfaces or intermediate surface projections as done in many established techniques, e.g. mortar methods. The multifield enhancement identifies the Lagrange multiplier field and incorporates its contribution in the weak variational form accounting for the corresponding consistent stabilization term based on a Nitsche method. This type of constraint enforcement circumvents the appearance of instabilities when the Ladyzhenskaya-Babuška-Brezzi (LBB) condition is not fulfilled by the chosen discretization. The domain decomposition framework is assessed in a large deformation setting for mixed displacement/pressure formulations and coupled thermomechanical problems. The continuity of the mixed field is studied in well selected benchmark problems for both mixed formulations and the objectivity of the response is compared to reference monolithic solutions. Results suggest that the presented strategy shows sufficient potential to be a valuable tool in situations where the evolving physics at particular domains require the use of different spatial discretizations or field interpolations.

Abstract
This study compared the acute cytokine response, and kinetic and kinematic profile following back squat exercise in resistance-trained men. In a randomized, cross-over design, 10 resistance-trained men (27±4 y, 1.80±0.07 m, 82.8±6.7 kg, 16.3±3.5% fat) performed the back squat exercise using traditional and cluster set configurations. Kinetic and kinematic data were sampled throughout each condition. Venous blood was sampled prior, immediately post, 30 min, 60 min, 24 h, and 48 h post-exercise for plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-15 (IL-15). Cluster sets allowed for greater mean power (mean difference, 110 W; 90% confidence interval, ±63 W; benefit odds, 41 447:1), driven by higher overall mean velocities (0.053 m∙s-1; 0.039 m∙s-1; 3 105:1) as evidenced by the lack of clear contrasts for mean force. IL-15 increased post-exercise in both conditions, but increased at 24 h (0.13 pg·mL-1; ±0.11 pg·mL-1; 486:1) and 48 h (0.12 pg·mL-1; ±0.10 pg·mL-1; 667:1) in traditional sets only. IL-6 increased similarly in both conditions, post-exercise through 60 min post. Cluster set configurations allow for greater mean power, attributed to higher velocities. Despite a similar response of IL-6, traditional set configuration may provide a greater stimulus for hypertrophy as evidenced by a secondary increase in IL-15.

Abstract
The work deals on computational design of structural materials by resorting to computational homogenization and topological optimization techniques. The goal is then to minimize the structural (macro-scale) compliance by appropriately designing the material distribution (microstructure) at a lower scale (micro-scale), which, in turn, rules the mechanical properties of the material. The specific features of the proposed approach are: (1) The cost function to be optimized (structural stiffness) is defined at the macro-scale, whereas the design variables defining the micro-structural topology lie on the low scale. Therefore a coupled, two-scale (macro/micro), optimization problem is solved unlike the classical, single-scale, topological optimization problems. (2) To overcome the exorbitant computational cost stemming from the multiplicative character of the aforementioned multiscale approach, a specific strategy, based on the consultation of a discrete material catalog of micro-scale optimized topologies (Computational Vademecum) is used. The Computational Vademecum is computed in an offline process, which is performed only once for every constitutive-material, and it can be subsequently consulted as many times as desired in the online design process. This results into a large diminution of the resulting computational costs, which make affordable the proposed methodology for multiscale computational material design. Some representative examples assess the performance of the considered approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Moderate-risk genes have not been extensively studied, and missense substitutions in them are generally returned to patients as variants of uncertain significance lacking clearly defined risk estimates. The fraction of early-onset breast cancer cases carrying moderate-risk genotypes and quantitative methods for flagging variants for further analysis have not been established. METHODS We evaluated rare missense substitutions identified from a mutation screen of ATM, CHEK2, MRE11A, RAD50, NBN, RAD51, RINT1, XRCC2 and BARD1 in 1297 cases of early-onset breast cancer and 1121 controls via scores from Align-Grantham Variation Grantham Deviation (GVGD), combined annotation dependent depletion (CADD), multivariate analysis of protein polymorphism (MAPP) and PolyPhen-2. We also evaluated subjects by polygenotype from 18 breast cancer risk SNPs. From these analyses, we estimated the fraction of cases and controls that reach a breast cancer OR≥2.5 threshold. RESULTS Analysis of mutation screening data from the nine genes revealed that 7.5% of cases and 2.4% of controls were carriers of at least one rare variant with an average OR≥2.5. 2.1% of cases and 1.2% of controls had a polygenotype with an average OR≥2.5. CONCLUSIONS Among early-onset breast cancer cases, 9.6% had a genotype associated with an increased risk sufficient to affect clinical management recommendations. Over two-thirds of variants conferring this level of risk were rare missense substitutions in moderate-risk genes. Placement in the estimated OR≥2.5 group by at least two of these missense analysis programs should be used to prioritise variants for further study. Panel testing often creates more heat than light; quantitative approaches to variant prioritisation and classification may facilitate more efficient clinical classification of variants.
