Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

Abstract
HostSeq was launched in April 2020 as a national initiative to integrate whole genome sequencing data from 10,000 Canadians infected with SARS-CoV-2 with clinical information related to their disease experience. The mandate of HostSeq is to support the Canadian and international research communities in their efforts to understand the risk factors for disease and associated health outcomes and support the development of interventions such as vaccines and therapeutics. HostSeq is a collaboration among 13 independent epidemiological studies of SARS-CoV-2 across five provinces in Canada. Aggregated data collected by HostSeq are made available to the public through two data portals: a phenotype portal showing summaries of major variables and their distributions, and a variant search portal enabling queries in a genomic region. Individual-level data is available to the global research community for health research through a Data Access Agreement and Data Access Compliance Office approval. Here we provide an overview of the collective project design along with summary level information for HostSeq. We highlight several statistical considerations for researchers using the HostSeq platform regarding data aggregation, sampling mechanism, covariate adjustment, and X chromosome analysis. In addition to serving as a rich data source, the diversity of study designs, sample sizes, and research objectives among the participating studies provides unique opportunities for the research community.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

Abstract
Prior criteria for organ dysfunction in critically ill children were based mainly on expert opinion. We convened the Pediatric Organ Dysfunction Information Update Mandate (PODIUM) expert panel to summarize data characterizing single and multiple organ dysfunction and to derive contemporary criteria for pediatric organ dysfunction. The panel was composed of 88 members representing 47 institutions and 7 countries. We conducted systematic reviews of the literature to derive evidence-based criteria for single organ dysfunction for neurologic, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, acute liver, renal, hematologic, coagulation, endocrine, endothelial, and immune system dysfunction. We searched PubMed and Embase from January 1992 to January 2020. Study identification was accomplished using a combination of medical subject headings terms and keywords related to concepts of pediatric organ dysfunction. Electronic searches were performed by medical librarians. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the authors reported original data collected in critically ill children; evaluated performance characteristics of scoring tools or clinical assessments for organ dysfunction; and assessed a patient-centered, clinically meaningful outcome. Data were abstracted from each included study into an electronic data extraction form. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. Consensus was achieved for a final set of 43 criteria for pediatric organ dysfunction through iterative voting and discussion. Although the PODIUM criteria for organ dysfunction were limited by available evidence and will require validation, they provide a contemporary foundation for researchers to identify and study single and multiple organ dysfunction in critically ill children.

Abstract
Following the Ebola crisis in Liberia in 2014-15, the Liberian Ministry of Health developed a strategy to build a fit-for-purpose health workforce, focusing on both health care providers and health managers. To help fulfill national capacity-building goals for health management, a team of faculty, staff, and practitioners from the Yale School of Medicine, the University of Liberia, the National Public Health Institute of Liberia, and the Ministry of Health collaboratively developed and launched the health management program in Liberia in July 2017. The team worked to build specific management and leadership competencies for healthcare workers serving in management and leadership roles in Liberia's health sector using two concurrent strategies-1) implementation of a hospital-based partnership-mentorship model in the two largest hospitals in the capital city of Monrovia, and 2) establishment of an executive education-style advanced Certificate in Health Systems Leadership and Management at the University of Liberia. Here we describe the health management program in Liberia, its focus, and its evolution from program launch in 2017 to the present, as well as ongoing efforts to transition program activities to local partner ownership by the end of 2021.

Abstract
Abstract
Topic
Proactive prevention is at the core of the NHS Long Term plan and falls prevention is an important public health priority. National guidance recommends that all health professionals have competence in falls assessment and prevention and advise that older adults at risk of falls are considered for strength and balance exercise.
With rising numbers of older adults occupying inpatient beds, some clinicians may not have the skills to identify these opportunities to prevent falls. Previously, physiotherapy staff on a respiratory medicine ward were not delivering best practice in falls prevention.
Aim
Within 3 months, to achieve a 30% increase in older adults at risk of falls, being offered exercise referral at hospital discharge.
Intervention
Quality improvement methodology including stakeholder engagement and Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles were used to influence behaviour change amongst physiotherapy staff on a respiratory ward. Interventions included training and a documentation sticker. For evaluation, the weekly number of older adults at risk of falls with evidence of offer for falls prevention exercise was collected over 13 weeks and evaluated on a Statistical Process Control chart. Staff confidence scores and cohort data were also recorded and described using descriptive statistics. The NHS Improvement Sustainability Model was used to measure project sustainability.
Improvement
At baseline, 0/18 (0%) older adults had an offer for fall prevention exercise. Over the intervention period, this increased to 22/37 (59.5%) and demonstrated special cause variation that was confidently assigned to the interventions. There was a 44.5% improvement in staff confidence in offering fall prevention exercise. The project scored 53.7% using the NHS sustainability model.
Discussion
This project demonstrated favourable behaviour change in falls prevention practice amongst physiotherapy staff on a respiratory ward. There was variability in the improvement possibly as a result of contextual influences of staffing and seasonality. Hospital discharge is a good opportunity to assess falls risk in older adults and offer information and referral for exercise. Wider implementation may be useful to help older adults optimise health outcomes but will depend on organisational stakeholder support to improve sustainability.

Abstract
Fungal species in the genus Aspergillus are environmental saprophytes that can act as opportunistic pathogens of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in humans, cats and other species. Upper respiratory tract aspergillosis (URTA) presents as non-invasive and invasive forms with the latter occurring almost exclusively in immunocompromised hosts. However, in domestic cats, invasive URTA affects apparently immunocompetent patients. A defect in innate immunity has been proposed as a predisposing factor in invasive feline URTA. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pattern recognition receptor genes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of aspergillosis in humans. The aims of this study were to identify non-synonymous SNPs in the coding regions of toll-like receptors involved in the immune response to Aspergillus spp. and to compare the frequency of these SNPs between affected and control cats. The coding and flanking regions of TLR1, TLR2 and TLR4 were sequenced in 14 cats with URTA and the sequences were compared with those in 20 control cats without aspergillosis. In total, 23 non-synonymous SNPs were identified in TLR1 (n = 11), TLR2 (n = 3) and TLR4 (n = 10). Differences in allelic frequency of non-synonymous SNPs between affected and controls were not identified either within breeds or overall or between non-invasive and invasive disease phenotypes. Although allelic frequency differed between cat breeds that are overrepresented for URTA and underrepresented breeds there was no association differences identified between affected cats and underrepresented breeds. The difference in allelic frequency of an INDEL point mutation identified in intron 1 of TLR4, between cats with non-invasive versus invasive aspergillosis approached significance (p = 0.054). While results from this study do not support a role for non-synonymous SNPs in the pathogenesis of feline URTA they do provide evidence that investigation for polymorphisms in non-coding regions of these genes and in other pattern recognition receptors are warranted.

Abstract
Specific point mutations in the human toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) confer altered risk for diverse diseases including sepsis, aspergillosis and inflammatory bowel disease. Some of these TLR4 polymorphisms are racially specific. We hypothesised that feline TLR4 polymorphisms might underlie an observed increased risk to infectious and inflammatory diseases in some cat breeds. The aim of this study was to identify breed-specific variations in the coding region of feline TLR4 and to model the effect of mutations on protein structure and function in silico. The entire coding region of TLR4 was sequenced in 8 groups (7 pure-bred, 1 crossbred) of domestic cats (Felis catus) comprising 158 individuals. Twenty-two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in TLR4, with 16 located in the coding region (11 non-synonymous) and four in the 3′UTR. Comparison of breed specific allelic frequencies indicated that Burmese and British shorthairs most commonly differed from other breeds. In silico analyses to predict the impact of the 11 non-synonymous variants indicated a deleterious effect on protein structure for one SNP (c.869 G > A), which was not associated with a specific breed. Overall, findings from this study do not support a role of TLR4 dysfunction in breed-predispositions to infectious diseases in domestic cats in Australia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) is a pre-invasive stage of breast cancer, where malignant cells line the duct but have not spread into other parts of the breast. Oncotype DX (ODX) is a genomic test, which divide patients into three risk of recurrence categories (Low, Intermediate, and High) to help physicians determine if patients require adjuvant therapy. However, ODX is expensive, tissue destructive, and has a turnaround time of 7-10 days. There has been an interest in the use of image analysis of routine H&E histopathology slides to predict the course of the disease; the rationale being that the analytics are able to unearth subtle sub-visual cues regarding disease morphology that may escape visual examination. In this work, we evaluate the role of computer extracted features of nuclear morphology and the necrotic regions from surgically resected specimens to predict ODX categories in patients with DCIS.
Methods: H&E slides from breast tissue of 37 patients who were diagnosed with DCIS and underwent a lumpectomy were acquired. Nine of the 37 had high ODX score (higher than 54), while the rest had a low score (lower than 39). All the slides were digitized on a Philips slide scanner. For each image, a watershed algorithm segmented the individual nuclei, which were used to generate 230 nuclei features including nuclear architecture, nuclear shape and nuclear texture features within each candidate breast duct. In addition, we captured the area of necrosis and empty lumen region inside breast ducts to generate features pertaining to tubule packing.
The average feature values for each patient were calculated across all the breast ducts in each slide. A 3-fold cross validation scheme with 50 repetitions was used with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to predict the ODX risk category for each patient. We used a covariance algorithm to select the top 4 features that were independent of each other but relevant to the ODX class label.
Results: The top ranked features included features from three categories: nuclei architectural features (standard deviation of triangle area in Delaunay graph, skewness of edge length in Cell Cluster Graph), nuclear texture (standard deviation of Haralick matrix intensity) possibly reflecting chromatin patterns in the cell, and the Tubule Packing Ratio, a measure of the ratio of necrosis area and empty lumen area inside the breast ducts compared to the whole breast duct area. The SVM in conjunction with these 4 features yielded a mean area under receive operator characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.95 in correctly predicting high and low ODX risk categories.
Conclusion: We found that our histomorphometry features pertaining to nuclear arrangement, nuclear texture and necrosis could differentiate between DCIS patients with high and low ODX risk categories. Additional independent validation of the approach is needed to confirm the preliminary findings presented here.

Abstract
Background Serological tests for diagnosis of aspergillosis in immunocompetent humans and animals are based on Aspergillus‐specific IgG (As‐IgG). In humans with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, As‐IgA may be detectable even if IgG titers are negative. Cats with upper respiratory tract aspergillosis (URTA) have detectable As‐IgG, but their ability to mount an IgA response and its diagnostic utility are unknown. Objectives To determine whether serum As‐IgA can be detected in cats with URTA and evaluate its diagnostic utility alone or combined with As‐IgG. Animals Twenty‐three cats with URTA (Group 1), 32 cats with other respiratory diseases (Group 2), and 84 nonrespiratory controls (Group 3). Methods Serum As‐IgA and As‐IgG was measured by indirect ELISA. Optimal cutoff values were determined by receiver‐operating curve analysis. Sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) for URTA diagnosis were determined. Results Serum IgA was detected in 91.3% of Group 1 cats. The Se of IgA detection was 78.3% and Sp was 96.9% for Group 2, 85.7% for Group 3 and 88.8% for Group 2 and 3 combined. Assay Se for IgG was 100% and Sp was 92.2%. Using combined IgA and IgG results at cutoffs optimized for Sp for IgA and Se for IgG and combined controls (Groups 2 and 3), Se for diagnosis was 100% and Sp was 91.4%. Conclusion and Clinical Importance Most cats with URTA have serum As‐IgA antibodies that can be detected by ELISA. Paired measurement of serum As‐IgA and IgG shows no benefit for diagnosis of feline URTA over IgG alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to investigate differences in socio-emotional processing and functioning in children and adolescents at high risk for bipolar disorder (BD) and healthy control participants. METHODS Children and adolescents with a parent with bipolar disorder, who had mood dysregulation but not fully syndromal BD (high risk, HR, n=24), were compared to participants with no personal or family history of psychopathology (healthy control, HC, n=27) across several neuropsychological domains. Social reciprocity was measured by the Social Responsiveness Scale, theory of mind was measured by use of the NEPSY, and affect recognition was measured by the NEPSY and the Diagnostic Test of Nonverbal Accuracy 2 (DANVA). RESULTS The HR group demonstrated significant impairment in social reciprocity, including impairments in social awareness, social cognition, social communication, social motivation, and autistic mannerisms. There were no significant group differences in performance on theory of mind or affect recognition tasks. LIMITATIONS Lack of impairment in tasks associated with theory of mind or affect recognition indicate that social functioning difficulties are not likely due to impairments in these areas, or that the measures employed were not sufficiently sensitive to detect group differences. CONCLUSIONS Youth at high risk for BD demonstrated impairments in numerous social domains, which may be due to innate differences in brain development governing socio-emotional functioning or may be due to disruptions in normal development caused by mood regulation difficulties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence of ADHD in mothers of children with comorbid ADHD and epilepsy (ADHD+E) and to compare ADHD symptoms in mothers with (Fam(+)) and without (Fam(-)) additional relative(s) with epilepsy. PATIENTS & METHODS: Mothers (n = 16) of children with ADHD+E were assessed by the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children ADHD module and the ADHD Rating Scale IV. Information was collected on the presence (Fam(+)) or absence (Fam(-)) of first- or second-degree relatives with epilepsy in the sample. RESULTS: A total of 50% of mothers met the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD. ADHD was more prevalent in Fam(+) mothers (80%) compared with Fam(-) mothers (36%; p = 0.14). Fam(+) mothers had more current hyperactivity symptoms than Fam(-) mothers (p = 0.002), higher current ADHD severity (p = 0.02) and higher ADHD Rating Scale IV hyperactivity scores (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of ADHD in mothers of children with ADHD+E is elevated in this pilot study, suggesting that ADHD symptoms in children with epilepsy and their mothers reflects shared familial genetic or environmental risks, potentially resulting in a higher prevalence of both disorders among family members. This is a pilot study and larger controlled studies are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive models of bipolar I disorder (BD) may aid in identification of children who are especially vulnerable to chronic mood dysregulation. Information-processing biases related to memory and attention likely play a role in the development and persistence of BD among adolescents; however, these biases have not been extensively studied in youth with BD. METHODS We administered the self-referent encoding task and the dot-probe task to adolescents with bipolar I disorder (BD, n = 35) and a demographically similar healthy comparison group (HC, n = 25) at baseline, and at a 1-year follow-up in a subset of this cohort (n = 22 per group). RESULTS At both baseline and 1-year follow-up, there were significant interactions of group (BD, HC) and valence of stimulus (positive, negative adjective) on endorsement and recall of self-referent adjectives. HC adolescents endorsed and recalled more positive self-referent adjectives at baseline and follow-up while adolescents with BD endorsed and recalled more negative self-referent adjectives at baseline but not follow-up. Over time, depression symptomatology was associated with impaired memory for positive self-referent adjectives. There were no group differences in attentional bias at either time points. CONCLUSIONS Adolescents with BD exhibit bias away from endorsement and recall of positive adjectives, which remained stable over time and independent of mood state.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to pilot a randomized controlled trial of OROS methylphenidate (OROS-MPH) to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) plus epilepsy. METHODS Thirty-three patients, 6-18years of age, taking antiepileptic drugs and with a last seizure 1-60months prior were assigned to a maximum daily dose of 18, 36, or 54mg of OROS-MPH in a double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial. RESULTS There were no serious adverse events and no carryover effects in the crossover trial. OROS-MPH reduced ADHD symptoms more than did placebo treatment. There were too few seizures during the active (5) and placebo arms (3) to confidently assess seizure risk; however, considering exposure time, we observed an increased daily risk of seizures with increasing dose of OROS-MPH, suggesting that potential safety concerns require further study. CONCLUSION A larger study to assess the effect of OROS-MPH on seizure risk is needed. A crossover design including subjects with frequent seizures could maximize power and address high patient heterogeneity and recruitment difficulties.

Abstract
Methylphenidate (MPH) is one of the most commonly prescribed medications to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Despite the elevated rates of ADHD in children with epilepsy, few studies have examined the use of MPH in this population. Case reports have warned about new-onset seizures in patients treated with MPH, and drug-drug interactions between MPH and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), as well as antidepressants. However, retrospective chart reviews, open-label trials and controlled trials of MPH in patients with epilepsy and ADHD have noted significant improvements in ADHD symptoms without an exacerbation of seizures or an adverse effect on AED serum levels. This paper reviews the chemistry and mechanisms of action of MPH, as well as preclinical, premarketing clinical trials and postmarketing data relevant to its use in patients with ADHD and epilepsy.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe the content and processes involved in a series of workshops for carers of people with an eating disorder. These workshops were designed to equip carers with the skills and knowledge needed to be a 'coach' and help the person with an eating disorder break free from the traps that block recovery. The first hurdle is to overcome the unhelpful patterns of interpersonal processes between the person with an eating disorder and their carers. In both naturalistic studies and randomised controlled trials (RCT), family factors have been implicated either as moderators or mediators of outcome. High levels of expressed emotion (EE), misattributions about the illness or unhelpful methods of engaging with the eating disorder symptoms contribute to this effect. These workshops aim to reduce EE such as over protection. Carers are introduced to the transtheoretical model of change and the principles of motivational interviewing so that they can help rather than hinder change. They learn how to use reflective listening to reduce confrontation and how to sidestep resistance. Carers learn what is needed to help their daughter change by reflecting on the processes involved in changing their own behaviours in relationship with the person with eating disorders. Once they recognise that they may need to change then they can use their skills, information and insight to help change eating disorder symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) coexisting with epilepsy is poorly understood; thus, we compared the clinical correlates and psychiatric comorbid conditions of 36 children with epilepsy and ADHD aged 6 to 17 years enrolled in an ADHD treatment trial, with those reported in the literature on children with ADHD without epilepsy. METHODS Measures included the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children (KSADS), the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI), and the Scales for Independent Behavior-Revised (SIB-R). RESULTS Mean IQ was 86+/-19, and SIB-R Standard Score was 72+/-26. The ADHD-Combined subtype, composed of both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms, was most frequent (58%). Sixty-one percent exhibited a comorbid disorder, including anxiety disorders (36%) and oppositional defiant disorder (31%). CONCLUSIONS Comorbidity in ADHD with epilepsy is similar to that in ADHD without epilepsy reported in the literature. These preliminary data argue that the pathophysiology of ADHD has common components in both populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the adverse effects of treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) started in children under age 7 yr. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of medical records for all children who had begun treatment with an SSRI under age 7 at an academic psychiatry department in Boston. RESULTS Thirty-nine children (26 males, 13 females) met the inclusion criteria. Mean age at start of treatment was 5.9 +/- 0.8 yr, and median treatment duration was 5.0 months. The target diagnoses for SSRI treatment were anxiety disorders in 54%, depressive disorders in 23%, and both anxiety and depressive disorders in 20% of patients. There were no reports of suicidal ideation or attempt. No children were medically or psychiatrically hospitalized for adverse effects (AEs). Eleven patients (28%) reported an AE of at least moderate severity; 7 (18%) discontinued the SSRI due to the AE. Six patients discontinued due to behavioral activation and 1 due to gastrointestinal upset. The median time to onset of an AE was 23 days, and median resolution was 19 days from onset. CONCLUSIONS The high rate of adverse effects, especially activation, in this sample argues for continued caution in using SSRIs in young children. Controlled trials are warranted.

Abstract
Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) is used as an intervention for people with brain lesions and psychosis. This case report demonstrates the possible benefits of introducing CRT into treatment packages for anorexia nervosa (AN). In our previous work, we reported that people with AN demonstrate inflexibility in cognitive set-shifting tasks. Weight gain alone does not improve the neuropsychological profile in set-shifting tasks. This case report illustrates how training programmes can address problems in cognitive rigidity. We acknowledge the limitations of case studies, however, this is a starting point in exploring the possibilities of introducing CRT as part of the treatment of AN.

Abstract
A stereocontrolled synthetic route has been used to prepare two of the geometric isomers of all-trans-GGPP. Neither of these isomers is effective substrates for mammalian GGTase I, but 3 is a potent inhibitor of this enzyme (IC(50)=100 nM). Surprisingly, both compounds are effective substrates for mammalian FTase.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques were used to identify two minor components and one new compound in the polyphenolic extract of green tea (Camellia sinensis). Identification and structure assignments were based on previously reported sub-structural features in the MS/MS product, precursor and neutral loss scans of reference samples. The structures of two minor components, related to the known green tea components epicatechin gallate (ECG, 5) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG, 6), are formed by methylation at the 3"-O-position of the gallic acid moiety. The new compound contained a gallic acid ester group, but had only one phenolic group in either the A- or B-ring, relative to the structure of 5. High-resolution mass measurements supported the empirical formula assigned to the new compounds. An important fragmentation for defining the position of methylation of the ester function involves ionization of the phenolic group at the 4"-position of the gallic acid, followed by elimination of the ester function as a neutral with concomitant formation of the m/z 169 ion. If the 4"-position is blocked by methylation, the formation of m/z 169 incorporating the gallic acid group would be blocked. Thus, the presence of an ion representing the ester group indicates a free 4"-phenol and the absence of this ion would signify the 4"-position as a site of methylation. The operation of this mechanism should be general and useful in assigning the site of methylation of any polyphenolic ester group in natural products. A similar conclusion can be drawn concerning alkylation or esterification of the 4'-position of the catechins, i. e. blocking the 4'-phenol would prevent formation of the m/z 125 ion common to all of the catechin compounds thus far examined. Therefore, mass spectral data are of considerable importance in deducing the sites of alkylation or esterification in the structures of the components of green tea.

Abstract
The mass spectral properties of 3,5- and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acids (DCQAs) and selected derivatives were examined using electron ionization (EI), fast atom bombardment (FAB) and electrospray ionization (ESI). EI analysis of the trimethylsilyl derivatives provides molecular mass (M(r)) information, but the spectrum is dominated by fragment ions of the caffeic acid group; isomers cannot be differentiated using EI. FAB analysis, in both the positive and negative ion detection modes, provides M(r) information on the free compounds, but little fragmentation is observed using normal scan conditions. The FAB mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectroscopic analysis of the free compounds does, however, permit differentiation of the isomers, with 3,5-DCQA showing selective loss of water, a process not observed with the 4,5-isomer. Both EI and FAB provide M(r) and some structural information when applied to the peracetate derivatives of the DCQAs. ESI of the DCQAs provides considerably more structural information, especially in the negative ion detection mode, and is the recommended method of analysis of the quinic acid esters. M(r) information, identity of the ester groups and differentiation of isomers are possible using ESI. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
To increase in vivo tendon force and gliding after flexor tendon repair, a variety of modifications to the methods by which protective passive motion is administered have been advocated. To determine the relationship between the prime variables, wrist and digital position, muscle activation, and in vivo tendon force, a clinically relevant canine model was developed. Force was measured in the flexor tendon during several joint manipulation paradigms: single-finger flexion-extension with the wrist flexed (group 1F), single-finger flexion-extension with the wrist extended (group 1E), four-finger flexion-extension with the wrist flexed (group 4F), four-finger flexion-extension with the wrist extended (group 4E), and synergistic wrist and finger motion where wrist extension and finger flexion were performed simultaneously, followed by wrist flexion and finger extension (group SYN). In addition, tendon force was measured during electric stimulation of the proximal flexor muscle mass. Passive tendon force with the wrist extended (groups 1E and 4E) was two to three times greater than that measured with the wrist flexed, independent of the number of digits moved. With the wrist extended, peak tendon force reached 1,997 g +/- 194 g during single-digit manipulation (group 1E), compared to only 853 g +/- 104 g with the wrist flexed during the same maneuver (group 1F). Statistical comparison between means revealed that groups 1E and 4E were significantly different from groups 1F, 4F, and SYN (p < .005). There were no significant differences between groups 1E and 4E or between groups 1F, 4F, and SYN (p > .200). Active muscle force elicited by electrical stimulation and passive force varied dramatically as the wrist was flexed from full extension 3460 g +/- 766 g to full flexion 427 g +/- 239 g (p < .001). Simultaneously, passive tension decreased from 940 g +/- 143 g with wrist extended to 76 g +/- 37 g with the wrist flexed. These data indicate that wrist position has the greatest effect on flexor tendon force during motions that are commonly used to rehabilitate flexor tendon repairs. Thus, if force is to be controlled during passive motion, wrist-joint angle will have the dominant effect, while the number of digits manipulated will have much less of an effect. If the clinical goal is to minimize tendon force, rehabilitation could be carried out with the wrist flexed, whereas if the goal is to increase tendon force, rehabilitation could include exercise programs that use a greater degree of wrist extension.

Abstract
Which of the 20 different, commercially available, temperature cyclers adequately fulfill all functional requirements? How can an investigator analyze instrument function? This report describes in detail, for the first time, the characteristics of Ericomp temperature cyclers. The data show that the temperature uniformity, accuracy and maximum overshoot is +/- 0.34 degree C, less than 0.5 degree C and 0.17 degree C, respectively. Cycling temperature reproducibility is 0.1%, and cycling time reproducibility is 0.4%. These data compare very favourably to published data describing other temperature cyclers. The techniques used to obtain these data serve as a model for evaluating instruments for well-to-well uniformity, temperature accuracy and within-run reproducibility.

Abstract
Vanillin, a food additive, has been evaluated as a potential agent to treat sickle cell anemia. Earlier studies indicated that vanillin had moderate antisickling activity when compared with other aldehydes. We have determined by high performance liquid chromatography that vanillin reacts covalently with sickle hemoglobin (HbS) both in solution and in intact red blood cells. Hemoscan oxygen equilibrium curves show a dose-dependent left shift, particularly at low oxygen tensions. Rheologic evaluation (pO2 scan Ektacytometry) of vanillin-reacted HbS erythrocytes shows a dose-dependent inhibition of deoxygenation-induced cell sickling. Ektacytometry also suggests that vanillin may have a direct inhibitory effect on HbS polymer formation. Vanillin has no adverse effects on cell ion or water content. X-ray crystallographic studies with deoxyhemoglobin (HbA)-vanillin demonstrate that vanillin binds near His 103 alpha, Cys 104 alpha, and Gln 131 beta in the central water cavity. A secondary binding site is located between His 116 beta and His 117 beta. His 116 beta has been implicated as a polymer contact residue. Oxygen equilibrium, ektacytometry, and x-ray studies indicate that vanillin may be acting to decrease HbS polymerization by a dual mechanism of action; allosteric modulation to a high-affinity HbS molecule and by stereospecific inhibition of T state HbS polymerization. Because vanillin is a food additive on the GRAS (generally regarded as safe) list, and because it has little or no adverse effects at high dosages in animals, vanillin is a candidate for further evaluation as an agent for the treatment of sickle cell disease.

Abstract
Surface electrical stimulation using the ScoliTron device was applied to 40 adolescent patients for treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. Adequate follow-up was available for 30 of these patients. The overall failure rate was 15 of 30 or 50%. Due to curve progression while using the ScoliTron, these patients either went on to a fusion (9 of 15) or were changed to a brace (6 of 15). The remaining 15 patients were considered successes with no curve progression (10 of 30 or 33%) or successful/failures with slight curve progression not requiring a change in treatment (5 of 30 or 17%). None of the various parameters analyzed were found to be useful indicators of successful treatment using the ScoliTron device. Electrical stimulation was found to be ineffective in preventing curve progression for idiopathic scoliosis.

Abstract
Fast atom bombardment desorption of bile salts produces negative ions which show little fragmentation. The lack of fragmentation limits the utility of the method for resolving questions regarding specific structural features. This paper is a report of negative ion fast atom bombardment mass spectra and collision-activated decomposition spectra of cholate, chenodeoxycholate, lithocholate, taurocholate, taurochenodeoxycholate, taurolithocholate, 3 beta-ol-5-cholenate, taurolithocholate-3-sulfate and glycolithocholate-3-sulfate. The collision-activated decomposition spectra are useful for distinguishing bile salt structural features and for quantifying relative amounts of isomeric ions in a mixture. The negative ion mode is well suited for generating anions of bile salts and, when coupled with collisional activation, provides complementary information to the positive ion mode. The collision-activated fragmentation is also unusual as it appears to be an example of reactions occurring remote from the charge site. Furthermore, on the basis of the fragmentations, the charge site can be located in the amphiprotic form of some gas-phase diprotic bile acids such as taurolithocholate-3-sulfate and glycolithocholate-3-sulfate.

Abstract
With delineation of the photochemical events occurring in the skin after ultraviolet exposure, there has been increased interest in the skin's role in the vitamin D-3-endocrine system. We provide here in vitro conditions for the generation of both labelled (from [3H]acetate) and unlabelled vitamin D-3 in cultures of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Sterol precursors and photoproducts in irradiated and non-irradiated cultures are identified by co-chromatography, ultraviolet absorbance spectra, thermal conversion characteristics of previtamin D-3 and mass spectrometry. Because the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol is more efficient in vitro than in vivo, the specific delta 7 inhibitor, AY-9944, was added in non-toxic doses to modulate 7-dehydrocholesterol content. Both cell types were equally capable of generating photoproducts, depending on the amount of 7-dehydrocholesterol present. The 290 +/- 5 and 295 nm filters were much more efficient than the 305 nm filter for generating previtamin D-3 and vitamin D-3 in fibroblasts. In contrast, the 305 nm filter was as efficient as the 290 +/- 5 and 295 nm filters in keratinocytes, where it yielded previtamin D-3, with much less lumisterol and tachysterol than appeared with the shorter-wavelength filters. The amount of lumisterol and tachysterol versus previtamin D-3 formed in both cell types was dependent on the total energy applied, with lower energies (less then 1 J/cm2) favoring previtamin D-3 over the other photoproducts. The use of cultured cells provides a system whereby the regulation of vitamin D-3 synthesis by extracutaneous factors can be studied in a homogeneous setting.

Abstract
To evaluate whether membrane fluidity plays a role in regulating calcium flux across the intestinal brush border, we purified brush border membranes from different regions of the chick intestine and determined the relationship of their ability to transport calcium and their fluidity parameters, as determined by diphenylhexatriene fluorescence polarization. Raising the temperature from 4 to 37 C resulted in a 3-fold increase in calcium accumulation by duodenal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV; 2.85 to 8.70 nmol/mg protein X 12 min). This rise in temperature was associated with a decrease in degree of polarization from 0.395 to 0.290. The methyl esters of cis- and trans-vaccenic acid markedly increased calcium uptake at all temperatures studied (4, 25, and 37 C); the trans isomer was more effective. Both cis- and trans-vaccenic acid lowered the degree of polarization of the BBMV from 0.340 to 0.311 and 0.293, respectively, at 25 C. cis- and trans-vaccenic acid were effective whether BBMV were prepared from vitamin D-deficient chicks or their hatchmates given 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-(OH)2D]. The ability to accumulate calcium correlated to the degree of polarization when calcium uptake by and degree of polarization of BBMV prepared from duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were compared at 25 C. The duodenal BBMV had the greatest calcium accumulation (9.4 nmol Ca/mg protein X 10 min) and the lowest degree of polarization (0.336); the ileal BBMV had the least calcium accumulation (3.5 nmol Ca/mg protein X 10 min) and the greatest degree of polarization (0.375); and the jejunal BBMV were intermediate (8.2 nmol Ca/mg protein X 10 min; 0.344). This rank order was the same whether the intestine was from vitamin D-deficient chicks or their hatchmates given 1,25-(OH)2D before they were killed. 1,25-(OH)2D stimulated calcium uptake by duodenal and jejunal BBMV, reaching a maximal effect at 4 h, but no changes in degree of polarization were observed during this period. A plot of the degree of polarization as a function of the reciprocal of absolute temperature showed an inflection point at approximately 25 C. Neither the slope of the plot nor the point of the inflection was altered by 1,25-(OH)2D. We conclude that chick intestinal BBMV membrane fluidity and calcium uptake correlate in relation to the effects of temperature, changes in membrane lipids, and regional differences in the intestine. However, 1,25-(OH)2D stimulates calcium uptake by BBMV without a detectable change in membrane fluidity.

Abstract
We have demonstrated that monolayers of human cultured newborn foreskin keratinocytes and fibroblasts elaborate vitamin D3 following exposure to UV-B. This in vitro system provides a new means to study those factors (hormones, ions, vitamin D3 metabolites, etc.) that regulate the production of vitamin D3 by human skin cells. Vitamin D3 production was enhanced greatly by using cells that were pre-treated with AY-9944, a non-toxic drug that inhibits cholesterologenesis while elevating cellular levels of 7-dehydrocholesterol, the sterol precursor of vitamin D3. The pre-D3 formed within viable, irradiated cells is transformed to D3 within a matter of hours at 37 degrees C, and keratinocytes proved to be more proficient sources of the vitamin and its metabolites than corresponding skin fibroblasts.
