Abstract
Importance Amblyopia can result in permanent vision loss if not properly treated before age 7 years. In 2017, the US Preventive Services Task Force recommended that vision screening should occur at least once in all children aged 3 to 5 years to detect amblyopia. Objective To understand trends and factors associated with screening, referral, or diagnosis of amblyopia before and after photoscreening expansion across a relatively large health care system in late 2017. Design, Setting, and Participants This is a retrospective cohort study of electronic health record data from patients with a well child care visit at approximately age 3 years (ages 2.75-3.25 years) in a relatively large, multispecialty group practice in Northern California and linked census data between 2015 and 2022. Data were extracted and analyzed from October 2022 through August 2023. Exposures Patient sex, race and ethnicity, immunization records, previous well child care visits, and census-level median household income. Main Outcomes and Measures Vision screening, pediatric ophthalmology referral, or amblyopia diagnosis, compared using adjusted odds ratios (AORs). Results The study included 2015-2017 data from 23 246 patients aged 3 years with at least 1 well child care visit (11 206 [48.2%] female) compared with 2018-2022 postexpansion data from 34 281 patients (16 517 [48.2%] female). The screening rate increased from 5.7% (424 of 7505) in 2015 to 72.1% (4578 of 6354) in 2022. The referral rate increased from 17.0% (1279 of 7505) in 2015 to 23.6% (1836 of 7792) in 2018. The diagnosis rate was 2.7% (200 of 7505) in 2015, peaked at 3.4% (263 of 7792) in 2018, and decreased to 1.4% (88 of 6354) in 2022. Compared with White patients, patients who were Asian, Black, or Hispanic were less likely to be screened (Asian: AOR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.72-0.88; Black: AOR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.53-0.96; Hispanic: AOR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.80-0.97). Compared with White patients, patients who were Asian or Hispanic were more likely to be referred (Asian: AOR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.36-1.62; Hispanic: AOR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.18-1.48) and were more likely to be diagnosed (Asian: AOR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.07-1.56; Hispanic: AOR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.33-2.11). Conclusions and Relevance In this study, increased availability of photoscreeners was associated with an increase in overall rates of vision screening for children aged 3 years in a relatively large health care system. Given that US rates of visual impairment are predicted to increase, additional targeted interventions would be needed to address remaining disparities in amblyopia care along patient- and clinician-level factors.

Abstract
Language diversity is increasing in the United States. This growth has implications for language preference, cost, quality, and client outcomes in health services settings. However, language diversity among medical and allied health professionals is lacking. Education pipeline programs are a mechanism to prepare bi- and multi-lingual diverse students to enter health careers. The Community of Bilingual English-Spanish Speakers Exploring Issues in Science and Health (CBESS) is one such program. Through peer mentorship from Leadership Trainees (LT), and a multicomponent 17-month education curriculum, CBESS was designed to increase interest in STEM careers among English-Spanish bilingual high school youth. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted high school students’ education and forced programs to innovate. CBESS was no exception. The most significant modifications were to a) expectations of SRs for a successful Summer Virtual Research Program (SVRP), b) LT roles, and c) scope and delivery of summer science content. A preliminary evaluation was conducted from data collected through pre-post surveys, process data, and focus groups. Among the outcomes were a significant increase in science knowledge among SVRP youth participants as well as no significant differences between cohort 1 and 2 suggesting that changes did not impede program goals. LTs highlighted skills needed and role of mentors. Adaptations were successful and will continue with the 2021 cohort.

Abstract
Objective: COVID-19 and associated morbidity and mortality has disproportionately affected minoritized populations. The epidemiology of spread of COVID-19 among pregnant women by race/ethnicity is not well described. Using data from a large healthcare system in California, we estimated prevalence and spread during pregnancy and recommend a vaccination approach based on minimizing adverse outcomes. Methods: Patients delivering at Sutter Health are tested (molecular) for COVID-19. These results were combined with antibody test results, using samples drawn at delivery. For each racial/ethnic group, we estimated prevalence of COVID-19, using logistic regression to adjust for known sociodemographic and comorbid risk factors. Testing for immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M provided insight into timing of infections. Results: Among 17,446 women delivering May–December, 460 (2.6%) tested positive (molecular). Hispanic women were at 2.6 times the odds of being actively infected as White women (odds ratio = 2.6, 95% confidence interval = 2.0–3.3). August and December were the highest risk periods for active infection (odds ratio = 3.5, 95% confidence interval = 2.1–5.7 and odds ratio = 6.1, 95% confidence interval = 3.8–9.9, compared with May, respectively). Among 4500 women delivering October–December, 425 (9.4%) had positive molecular or antibody tests, ranging from 4.0% (Asian) to 15.7% (Hispanic). Adjusting for covariables, compared with White patients, odds of infection was similar for Black and Asian patients, with Hispanic at 2.4 (1.8–3.3) times the odds. Conclusion: COVID-19 prevalence was higher among Hispanic women at delivery and in the last trimester than their White counterparts. Higher rates in Black patients are explained by other risk factors. Resources should be directed to increase vaccination rates among Hispanic women in early stages of pregnancy.

Abstract
May-Thurner syndrome is an uncommon process in which the right common iliac artery compresses the left common iliac vein, resulting in left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis and severe leg edema. We report the case of a 41-year-old female who presented with severe left leg edema present for 1 day. One week earlier she had experienced acute shortness of breath and pleuritic chest pain. Duplex ultrasound revealed a left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. A computed tomography (CT) scan performed for abdominal pain revealed thrombosis of the entire left common and external iliac veins. A ventilation-perfusion scan diagnosed a pulmonary embolism. The patient was treated with systemic intravenous heparin and catheter-directed thrombolysis of the iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. Complete thrombolysis and iliofemoral vein patency was achieved over 5 days. A persistent stenosis in the left common iliac vein consistent with May-Thurner syndrome was alleviated with percutaneous balloon angioplasty and placement of a Wallstent. Heparin therapy was terminated at the time of stenting because of suspected heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The patient was started on a continuous infusion of 10% dextran 40, and warfarin therapy was initiated. Heparin-induced antibodies were confirmed by a C-14 serotonin release assay. The endovascular reconstruction remains patent 4 months later. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia complicating endovascular reconstruction of the iliofemoral venous system in a patient with May-Thurner Syndrome is an uncommon occurrence. This case and a review of the literature are discussed.

Abstract
Restriction fragment length polymorphism mapping data from nine populations (Glycine max x G. soja and G. max x G. max) of the Glycine subgenus soja genome led to the identification of many duplicated segments of the genome. Linkage groups contained up to 33 markers that were duplicated on other linkage groups. The size of homoeologous regions ranged from 1.5 to 106.4 cM, with an average size of 45.3 cM. We observed segments in the soybean genome that were present in as many as six copies with an average of 2.55 duplications per segment. The presence of nested duplications suggests that at least one of the original genomes may have undergone an additional round of tetraploidization. Tetraploidization, along with large internal duplications, accounts for the highly duplicated nature of the genome of the subgenus. Quantitative trait loci for seed protein and oil showed correspondence across homoeologous regions, suggesting that the genes or gene families contributing to seed composition have retained similar functions throughout the evolution of the chromosomes.

Abstract
Divalproex sodium was given to a series of agitated individuals with a variety of psychiatric illnesses. Objective measures of agitation were then used to assess the effect of the divalproex sodium on such behavior. Demographic, diagnostic, medical, and physiological data were compiled on the subjects and the variation in the amount of time spent in an agitated state was evaluated in an attempt to account for the variation. We found that divalproex sodium reduced agitation in a variety of psychiatric conditions. It seems to be especially effective in the treatment of the agitated patient with bipolar illness or borderline personality disorder.

Abstract
The occurrence of intrusive auditory perceptions has rarely been addressed in the study of posttraumatic stress disorder. This study examined the background of 59 individuals with combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder. Subjects with and without auditory hallucinations were compared on demographic military and symptom variables. The occurrence of hallucinations among veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder appears to be more frequent among subjects of Hispanic ethnicity. This may have been related to higher combat exposure or social stresses. The occurrence of hallucinations was unrelated to drug abuse and did not appear to be associated with any particular war.

Abstract
We have directly demonstrated that megakaryocytes are a major site of synthesis and storage of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF/beta 1) by combined immunohistochemical, immunocytochemical, and in situ hybridization methods. The presence of TGF/beta 1 messenger RNA (mRNA) in mature megakaryocytes in adult rat spleen and bone marrow (BM) was established by in situ hybridization. Localization of TGF/beta 1 protein to intact alpha-granules of megakaryocytes, its putative storage site, was accomplished in glycol-methacrylate embedded porcine BM with an immunoperoxidase technique and light microscopy. The TGF/beta 1 was sequestered in intracytoplasmic granules in a pattern virtually identical to that of another alpha-granule marker protein, fibrinogen. This observation strongly suggests packaging of TGF/beta 1 into this organelle within megakaryocytes. That TGF/beta 1 mRNA was localized to megakaryocytes suggests that the TGF/beta 1 found in the alpha-granules in platelets originates with megakaryocyte synthesis. The alpha-granule localization of TGF/beta 1, as well as fibrinogen, was also demonstrated in isolated platelets at the ultrastructural level by electronmicroscopy (EM) and postembedding colloidal-gold immunocytochemistry, thus directly demonstrating that alpha-granules are the final storage site for TGF/beta 1 in mature platelets.

Abstract
Pre-operative nutritional support was studied in 28 children with end-stage liver disease awaiting orthotopic liver transplantation. Nasogastric supplemental administration of a standard semi-elemental enteral nutritional formula was compared with a similar formula enriched with branched chain amino acids, and with a group receiving oral nutrition only. The duration of treatment in all groups was similar (mean 90 days). Energy intakes in the supplemented groups were 120-150% of recommended daily intakes (RDI), whereas ad libitum intakes in the oral group ranged 58-100% RDI. A significant improvement in mean Z-score for body weight (denoting catch-up) was noted only in those children who received nasogastric supplements enriched with branched-chain amino acids. The standard enterally-fed group maintained their body weight and Z-scores did not change significantly. In contrast, body weight Z-scores in those fed orally declined significantly. Nutritional supportive therapy of malnourished children with end-stage liver disease can minimize or improve nutritional status in children awaiting liver transplantation. The use of nutritional formulae rich in branched-chain amino acids may have nutritional advantages in children with chronic liver disease which require further study and evaluation.

Abstract
Decreased platelet MAO activity has been identified in male alcoholics with suggestions that this is primarily true of Type 2 alcoholics as defined by criteria from the Stockholm Adoption Study. Little information has been available regarding platelet MAO activity in female alcoholics. This study evaluated a group of 71 alcoholics receiving inpatient treatment, including 16 female alcoholics, for platelet MAO activity compared to controls. Female alcoholic's platelet MAO was significantly lower than controls and not different from activity levels in male alcoholics. Among male alcoholics, both Type 1 and Type 2 subgroups were lower than controls and Type 2 levels did not differ from Type 1 levels. Thus, we were unable to replicate a gender and subgroup low platelet MAO specificity among alcoholics, but did find significant differences between alcoholics and controls.

Abstract
We describe here the in situ hybridization procedure which we have used to detect the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene primary transcript in nuclei of individual neurons in the periarcuate region of the hypothalamus. An exon-intron RNA probe was used to detect POMC primary transcript and mature mRNA in nuclear extracts of nucleic acids using a sensitive S1 nuclease protection assay. The levels per cell of nuclear primary transcript were similar to those seen in the anterior pituitary, suggesting that intervening sequence in situ hybridization should be feasible. A nonrepetitive complementary RNA probe specific for the first intervening sequence of the rat POMC gene (POMC IVS-A) was used to detect the POMC primary transcript in hypothalamic tissue sections by in situ hybridization. The distribution of nuclear localized autoradiographic grains was similar to that previously reported for immunocytochemically defined POMC neurons, suggesting that the procedure is also effective in brain cells.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate the role of contrast medium viscosity in blood-brain barrier disruption after carotid angiography. Test solutions were injected into the carotid arteries of rabbits, and the degree of disruption was assessed by using 99mTc-pertechnetate and Evans blue as quantitative and qualitative markers, respectively. The seven test solutions consisted of basic solutions of physiological saline, iopromide, or methylglucamine iothalamate plus solutions derived from these by the addition of sufficient gelatin to augment their viscosities considerably. The solutions were injected over a 30-sec period, resulting in doses that varied inversely with viscosity. One of the high-viscosity solutions was also injected as a fixed dose, equal to the mean injection volume of its low-viscosity counterpart, without regard to the time used. Statistical comparison between the effects of the solutions showed that, under the conditions of the study, contrast medium viscosity, either by itself or as a consequence of its association with hyperosmolality, has no significant effect on the blood-brain barrier. However, under conditions of constant injection volume, higher viscosity solutions may require increased injection times, and this may lead to increased disruption of the blood-brain barrier.

Abstract
Diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI), an endogenous 10-kDa polypeptide was isolated from rat and human brain by monitoring displacement of radioactive diazepam bound to specific recognition sites in brain synaptic and mitochondrial membranes. The cellular location of DBI mRNA was studied in rat brain and selected peripheral tissues by in situ hybridization histochemistry with a 35S-labeled single-stranded complementary RNA probe. DBI mRNA was heterogeneously distributed in rat brain, with particularly high levels in the area postrema, the cerebellar cortex, and ependyma of the third ventricle. Intermediate levels were found in the olfactory bulb, pontine nuclei, inferior colliculi, arcuate nucleus, and pineal gland. Relatively low but significant levels of silver grains were observed overlying many mesencephalic and telencephalic areas that have previously been shown to contain numerous DBI-immunoreactive neurons and a high density of central benzodiazepine receptors. In situ hybridizations also revealed high levels of DBI mRNA in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, liver, and germinal center of the white pulp of spleen, all tissues that are rich in peripheral benzodiazepine binding sites. The tissue-specific pattern of DBI gene expression described here could be exploited to further understand the physiological function of DBI in the brain and periphery.

Abstract
The x-ray attenuation of the renal cortex of dogs, as determined by computed tomographic (CT) scanning, was measured over a three-day period after an intravenous bolus of 600 mg I/kg of iotrol or iopamidol. A slightly higher density observed 24 hours after injection of iotrol was not considered significant, and was not considered sufficient to warrant clinical application of iotrol for specific, prolonged renal enhancement.
