Abstract
This is the first report describing detailed T cell responses to viral-like proteins contained in an HPV specific vaccine given in combination with Imiquimod for treatment of persistent VAIN2/3. We postulate that stimulation of the innate immune system with Imiquimod and the specific CD4 and CD8T cell responses following HPV vaccination with Gardasil9@ combined to induce clinical remission in a woman with treatment-refractory disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) for some pathogens in Australia are considerably higher in rural and remote compared to urban regions. The inaugural Hot North Antimicrobial Academy was a 9-month educational programme aimed to build workforce knowledge and capacity in antimicrobial use, audit, stewardship, surveillance and drug resistance in remote primary health care. METHODS The Academy was advertised to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, regional and remote healthcare workers. Participants were Aboriginal health practitioners, nurses, pharmacists and doctors from Queensland, Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia working in remote primary health care with a focus on Indigenous health. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Academy ran virtually from February-November 2021 using Microsoft Teams. The Academy was evaluated using surveys and yarning circles to assess impact and knowledge gain. RESULTS Participants and faculty from across Australia attended 19 lectures and mentorship sessions. Eleven participants commenced and eight (73%) completed the Academy. The Academy raised participants awareness of AMR guidelines, governance and generating change; built confidence in advocacy; grew knowledge about drug resistant infections; and created a community of AMR champions in Indigenous health. CONCLUSION The evaluation confirmed the Academy met the needs of participants, provided opportunities to move stewardship from tertiary hospitals into Indigenous and remote clinics and developed skills in research, audit, stewardship and advocacy for all involved. All sessions were recorded for future use, with facilitation by the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) in future years.

Abstract
The health risks associated with manganese (Mn) in drinking water, and an improved understanding of Mn accumulation within, and subsequent release from, distribution systems, have increased the need for robust, sustainable treatment options to minimize Mn concentrations in finished water. Biofiltration is an established and effective method to remove Mn in groundwater however, Mn removal in surface water biofilters is an emerging treatment process that has not been extensively studied. Seasonal variations in water temperature can present an operational challenge for surface water biofilters which may see reduced Mn removal under colder conditions. This study examined the microbiomes of surface water biofilters at three utilities (ACWD WTP, WTP B, and WTP D) which all experienced similar seasonal fluctuations in influent water temperature. High Mn removal was observed at the ACWD WTP for much of the year, but Mn removal decreased with a concurrent decrease in the influent water temperature (58% ± 22%). In contrast, both WTP B and WTP D achieved year-round Mn removal (84% ± 5% and 93% ± 8% respectively). Marker gene (16S rRNA) sequencing analysis of the biofilter microbiomes identified a high abundance of Betaproteobacteria in WTP B and WTP D (37% ± 12% and 21% ± 3% respectively), but a low abundance of Betaproteobacteria in the ACWD WTP (2% ± 2%). The microbiomes of new bench-scale biofilters, in operation at the ACWD WTP, were also investigated. The abundance of Betaproteobacteria was significantly greater (p < 0.05) after the biofilters had acclimated than before acclimation, and differential abundance analysis identified 6 genera within the Betaproteobacteria class were enriched in the acclimated microbiome. Additionally, the acclimated biofilters were able to maintain high Mn removal performance (87% ± 10%) when the influent water temperature decreased to 10 °C or less. Further analysis of previously published studies found the abundance of Betaproteobacteria was also significantly greater (p < 0.001) in biofilters with sustained Mn removal than in biofilters which did not treat for Mn as a contaminant, despite differences in design scale, source water, and media type. Microbiome network analysis identified multiple co-occurrence relationships between Betaproteobacteria and Mn oxidizing bacteria in the WTP B and WTP D biofilters, suggesting indirect contributions by Betaproteobacteria to biological Mn oxidation. These co-occurrence relationships were not present in the full-scale ACWD WTP microbiome. Whether the role of Betaproteobacteria in biological Mn oxidation is direct, indirect, or a combination of both, they are consistently present at a high abundance in both groundwater and surface water biofilters with sustained Mn removal, and their absence may contribute to the seasonal fluctuations in Mn removal observed at the ACWD WTP. This new insight to Betaproteobacteria and their role in Mn biofiltration could contribute to water innovation and design that would improve the reliability of Mn removal.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic paved the way for the widespread use of virtual care for childhood cancer survivors (CCSs). CCSs were virtual recipients of diverse care, including long-term follow-up (LTFU), primary care, mental health care, and several others. Virtual care comes with well-documented benefits and challenges. These are further magnified for CCSs living in rural or non-metropolitan areas. Here, we describe the virtual care of CCSs from two Upper Midwest cities with well-established childhood cancer survivor programs within large comprehensive cancer centers in the United States. CCSs from non-metropolitan areas, especially CCSs with two or more late effects, used virtual care more often during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to CCSs from metropolitan areas. A review of the related literature is also included and the identified challenges in providing virtual care, such as privacy concerns, technology-connectivity constraints, and medical license restrictions. Despite these limitations, the care of CCSs has evolved to leverage virtual care and its ability to increase access for patients and promote continuity of care for CCSs living in rural areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivorship education and anticipatory guidance represent an unmet need for pediatric, adolescent, and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors and their caregivers when treatment ends. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a structured transition program, bridging treatment to survivorship, to reduce distress and anxiety and increase perceived preparedness for survivors and caregivers. PROCEDURE Bridge to Next Steps is a two-visit program, within 8 weeks prior to treatment completion and 7 months post treatment, which provides survivorship education, psychosocial screening, and resources. Fifty survivors (age range 1-23 years) and 46 caregivers participated. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention measures: Distress Thermometer and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) anxiety/emotional distress (ages ≥8 years), and perceived preparedness survey (ages ≥14 years). AYA survivors and caregivers completed a post-intervention acceptability survey. RESULTS Most participants (77.8%) completed both visits, and most AYA survivors (57.1%) and caregivers (76.5%) endorsed the program as helpful. Caregivers' distress and anxiety scores decreased from pre to post intervention (p < .01). Survivors' scores remained the same, which were low at baseline. Survivors and caregivers felt more prepared for survivorship from pre to post intervention (p = .02, <.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Bridge to Next Steps was feasible and acceptable for most participants. AYA survivors and caregivers felt more prepared for survivorship care after participation. Caregivers reported decreased anxiety and distress from pre to post Bridge, whereas survivors remained at a low level for both. Effective transition programs that better prepare and support pediatric and AYA cancer survivors and families from active treatment to survivorship care can contribute to healthy adjustment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) harvest apheresis and leukapheresis are performed in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for high-risk pediatric patients who require procedural sedation. Patients need central access either with their own central lines, ports or require apheresis catheter (CVL) placement. Previously, patients were either awake or emerging from sedation on PICU admission. Uncertainty regarding procedural sedation plans caused delays initiating sedation and apheresis. A guideline was developed to standardize Dexmedetomidine (DEX) for procedural sedation. We investigated if guideline implementation would improve efficiency during PICU admission as demonstrated by shorter time intervals for initiation of sedation, apheresis, PICU length of stay and less alternative sedating medication. METHODS Data was collected retrospectively from electronic health records of preguideline and post-guideline patients who were admitted to the PICU for sedated apheresis. We compared demographic and clinical characteristics, time intervals for sedation, apheresis, PICU length of stay, and sedation agents between the two groups using Fisher Exact tests and Mann-Whitney tests, as appropriate. RESULTS The groups did not differ in age or weight at the time of apheresis. All intervals of time compared were shorter post-guideline. Time intervals from admission to start of sedation, admission to start of apheresis, and admission to end of apheresis were statistically significantly different. The type and number of alternative sedating medications administered did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION This guideline implementation improved efficiency during PICU admission. This study might have been too small to demonstrate statistically significant differences in other time intervals studied.

Abstract
Objectives Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening with a faecal immunochemical test (FIT) has
been disrupted in many countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Performing
catch-up of missed screens while maintaining regular screening services
requires additional colonoscopy capacity that may not be available. This
study aimed to compare strategies that clear the screening backlog using
limited colonoscopy resources. Methods A range of strategies were simulated using four country-specific CRC
natural-history models: Adenoma and Serrated pathway to Colorectal CAncer
(ASCCA) and MIcrosimulation SCreening ANalysis for CRC (MISCAN-Colon) (both
in the Netherlands), Policy1-Bowel (Australia) and OncoSim (Canada).
Strategies assumed a 3-month screening disruption with varying recovery
period lengths (6, 12, and 24 months) and varying FIT thresholds for
diagnostic colonoscopy. Increasing the FIT threshold reduces the number of
referrals to diagnostic colonoscopy. Outcomes for each strategy were
colonoscopy demand and excess CRC-related deaths due to the disruption. Results Performing catch-up using the regular FIT threshold in 6, 12 and 24 months
could prevent most excess CRC-related deaths, but required 50%, 25% and
12.5% additional colonoscopy demand, respectively. Without exceeding usual
colonoscopy demand, up to 60% of excess CRC-related deaths can be prevented
by increasing the FIT threshold for 12 or 24 months. Large increases in FIT
threshold could lead to additional deaths rather than preventing them. Conclusions Clearing the screening backlog in 24 months could avert most excess
CRC-related deaths due to a 3-month disruption but would require a small
increase in colonoscopy demand. Increasing the FIT threshold slightly over
24 months could ease the pressure on colonoscopy resources.

Abstract
This study investigated treatment strategies which accelerated the acclimation of new Mn-removing biofilters to help utilities respond to changing Mn regulations, such as the recent introduction of a health-based maximum acceptable concentration and a reduction in the aesthetic objective for Mn in drinking water by Health Canada. Bench-scale filters of either GAC or anthracite media were fed with applied water containing Mn (17-61 μg/L) from a full-scale plant over 294 days. Treatment strategies included the addition of H2O2 (1 mg/L) and/or an increase in pH from 6.8 to 7.5 through the addition of NaOH. The potential physico-chemical and biological mechanisms responsible for accelerated biofilter acclimation under the various redox conditions were investigated through thermodynamic modelling, to predict homogeneous Mn oxide formation, and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, to characterize the microbial community within the filters. GAC filters treated with NaOH, and both H2O2 and NaOH, were the first to acclimate (< 20 μg/L Mn in filter effluent) after 59 and 63 days respectively, while the ambient GAC filter took almost 3 times as long to acclimate (168 days), and the anthracite filters which received the same chemically adjusted water took almost 4 times as long (226 and 251 days, respectively). The accelerated acclimation in the treated GAC filters was likely due to physico-chemical oxidation via three potential mechanisms: (1) homogeneous oxidation of dissolved Mn(II) to Mn(III)/Mn(IV) oxides and the subsequent removal of oxides from solution through adherence to the GAC surface, (2) adsorption of dissolved Mn(II) to GAC and subsequent homogeneous or biological oxidation, or (3) formation of colloidal Mn(III)/Mn(IV) oxides and subsequent adsorption of dissolved Mn(II) to the Mn colloids. In the untreated GAC filter and all anthracite filters, which did not benefit from improved redox conditions or an active surface, physico-chemical mechanisms alone were insufficient for consistent Mn removal to less than 20 μg/L. Acclimation in these filters was delayed until a microbiome enriched with bacteria capable of biological nitrification and Mn oxidation evolved within the filters. The acclimated microbiome was consistent between GAC and anthracite filters and was significantly different from the non-acclimated microbiome (p < 0.001) initially formed during the early operation of the filters. Interestingly, treatment with NaOH, and NaOH and H2O2, which accelerated physico-chemical oxidation in GAC filters, was observed to delay the development of biological oxidation in anthracite filters, and thus deferred acclimation. Although some filters took longer to acclimate than others, once acclimation was reached all filters had a similar microbiome and were able to consistently remove Mn to below 20 µg/L.

Abstract
Advancements in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have led to increased survivorship rates in many childhood diseases. However, this growing group of long-term survivors face a myriad of late effects. There are currently limited guidelines for surveillance of gastrointestinal polyps for pediatric transplant patients. Here we describe 5 patients undergoing HCT with total body irradiation-based conditioning regimens for leukemia who developed symptomatic polyps a median of 4.5 (range: 0.75 to 5.75) years after HCT. Because of limited surveillance guidelines in children, we conclude that the development of new or progressive symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract deserves prompt recognition and evaluation.

Abstract
Background Preoperative education and breathing exercise training by a physiotherapist minimises pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery. Effects on specific clinical outcomes such as antibiotic prescriptions, chest imaging, sputum cultures, oxygen requirements, and diagnostic coding are unknown. Methods This post hoc analysis of prospectively collected data within a double-blinded, multicentre, randomised controlled trial involving 432 participants having major abdominal surgery explored effects of preoperative education and breathing exercise training with a physiotherapist on postoperative antibiotic prescriptions, hypoxemia, sputum cultures, chest imaging, auscultation, leukocytosis, pyrexia, oxygen therapy, and diagnostic coding, compared to a control group who received a booklet alone. All participants received standardised postoperative early ambulation. Outcomes were assessed daily for 14 postoperative days. Analyses were intention-to-treat using adjusted generalised multivariate linear regression. Results Preoperative physiotherapy was associated with fewer antibiotic prescriptions specific for a respiratory infection (RR 0.52; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.85, p = 0.01), less purulent sputum on the third and fourth postoperative days (RR 0.50; 95% CI 0.34 to 0.73, p = 0.01), fewer positive sputum cultures from the third to fifth postoperative day (RR 0.17; 95% CI 0.04 to 0.77, p = 0.01), and less oxygen therapy requirements (RR 0.49; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.78, p = 0.002). Treatment effects were specific to respiratory clinical coding domains. Conclusions Preoperative physiotherapy prevents postoperative pulmonary complications and is associated with the minimisation of signs and symptoms of pulmonary collapse/consolidation and airway infection and specifically results in reduced oxygen therapy requirements and antibiotic prescriptions.

Abstract
Tacrolimus (Tac) is an effective anti-rejection agent in kidney transplantation, but its off-target effects make withdrawal desirable. Although studies indicate that Tac can be safely withdrawn in a subset of kidney transplant recipients, immune mechanisms that underlie successful vs unsuccessful Tac removal are unknown. We performed microarray analyses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) RNA from subjects enrolled in the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation-09 study in which we randomized stable kidney transplant recipients to Tac withdrawal or maintenance of standard immunosuppression beginning 6 months after transplant. Eight of 14 subjects attempted but failed withdrawal, while six developed stable graft function for ≥2 years on mycophenolate mofetil plus prednisone. Whereas failed withdrawal upregulated immune activation genes, successful Tac withdrawal was associated with a downregulatory and proapoptotic gene program enriched within T cells. Functional analyses suggested stronger donor-reactive immunity in subjects who failed withdrawal without evidence of regulatory T cell dysfunction. Together, our data from a small, but unique, patient cohort support the conclusion that successful Tac withdrawal is not simply due to absence of donor-reactive immunity but rather is associated with an active immunological process.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) experience developmental transitions. AYA survivors of cancer are at risk for chronic health conditions due to treatment. This study examined developmental differences in AYA survivors' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between age groups and compared to population norms. METHODS HRQOL was assessed in AYA survivors of cancer (diagnosed before age 30) in long-term follow-up. Cancer survivors who were 12-39 years old at survey completion and completed therapy ≥ 2 years ago were included. HRQOL was assessed using the PedsQL™ and FACT. RESULTS Sample size was 155 survivors. PedsQL™ school functioning was worse in 15-17 year olds compared to 12-14 year olds (66.35 vs 77.60, p = 0.012). Compared to population norms, PedsQL™ outcomes were only worse in survivors' school functioning. Survivors' 18-39 years old had FACT scores that were better than population norms for overall HRQOL (91.33 vs 80.1, p < 0.001), and in physical (24.22 vs 22.7, p < 0.001), social (23.46 vs 19.1, p < 0.001), and functional well-being (22.94 vs 18.5, p < 0.001). Regression analysis identified that survivors who were < 15 years old and had not relapsed, and survivors who were 15-18 years old and had ≥ 2 late effects are at highest risk of lower HRQOL. For older survivors the highest risk group for lower HRQOL were < 21 years old at survey completion, > 7 years old at diagnosis and > 6 years post therapy. CONCLUSION A trend in school functioning issues in older adolescent survivors emerged. Older survivors show improved HRQOL when compared to the general population. Those further off therapy are at risk of poor HRQOL.

Abstract
The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Staph Express Count plate method was compared with AOAC Official Method 975.55 for the enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in selected foods. Four foods—cooked, diced chicken; cured ham; smoked salmon; and pepperoni—were analyzed for S. aureus by 12 collaborating laboratories. For each food tested, the collaborators received 8 blind test samples consisting of a control sample, a low inoculation level, a medium inoculation level, and a medium inoculation level with background flora, each in duplicate. The mean log10 counts for the methods were comparable for all 4 foods. The repeatability and reproducibility variances of the 24 h Petrifilm Staph Express Count plate method were similar to those of the 72 h standard method.

Abstract
A collaborative study was conducted to validate a method for the determination of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in crops. The analytes are extracted from crops with water, and the crude extracts are then subjected to a cation exchange cleanup. The analytes are derivatized by the direct addition of the aqueous extract into a mixture of heptafluorobutanol and trifluoroacetic anhydride. The derivatized analytes are quantitated by capillary gas chromatography with mass-selective detection (MSD). The collaborative study involved 13 laboratories located in 5 countries 12 laboratories returned valid data sets. The crops tested were field corn grain, soya forage, and walnut nutmeat at concentrations of 0.050, 0.40, and 2.0 mg/kg. The study used a split-level pair replication scheme with blindly coded laboratory samples. Twelve materials were analyzed, including 1 control and 3 split-level pairs for each matrix, 1 pair at each nominal concentration. For glyphosate, the mean recovery was 91%, the average intralaboratory variance, the repeatability relative standard deviation (RSDr), was 11%, and the interlaboratory variance, the reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSDR), was 16%. For AMPA, the mean recovery was 87%, the RSDr was 16%, and the RSDR was 25% at mg/kg levels.

Abstract
Background
Structural cardiac adaptations due to hypertension (HTN) present a diagnostic challenge when differentiating from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), using traditional imaging techniques such as echocardiography (echo). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) offers reproducible anatomical, functional quantification and myocardial tissue characterisation which discriminates between hypertension and HCM.
Purpose
To identify hypertensive individuals with undiagnosed HCM using CMR imaging.
Methods
100 consecutive hypertensive patients underwent CMR at a tertiary centre dedicated blood pressure clinic (55% male, mean age 51 years). In keeping with ESC guidelines, end diastolic wall thickness (EDWT) ≥15mm identified individuals within the “grey zone” between hypertension and with a potential HCM diagnosis. 19 individuals were referred on to the dedicated inherited cardiac conditions clinic for further evaluation. Four patients expressed a definitive LV phenotype and were diagnosed with HCM. CMR parameters were compared in three groups: Hypertensive (HTN), “grey zone” Hypertensive (GZH) and HCM.
Results
CMR demonstrated end diastolic wall thickness (EDWT) >11 mm in 50% of hypertensives. 73% of the referred patients were Afro-Caribbean (AC) and all 4 HCM patients were AC. All referrals demonstrated EDWTs ≥14mm, 9 (47%) demonstrated late gadolinium enhancement of which 3 (16%) had HCM. Three had asymmetrical septal hypertrophy – 2 were in the HCM cohort and one underwent endomyocardial biopsy confirming HTN. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was significantly higher in GZH compared to HTN (p<0.0001) and in HCM compared to HTN (p=0.0004). EDWT was significantly greater in GZH compared to HTN (p<0.0001) and in HCM compared to HTN (p=0.0002). There was no significant difference in these parameters between GZH and HCM.
Table 1. P-values for CMR data in hypertensive (HTN), gray zone hypertensive (GZH) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) cohorts CMR Parameter HCM vs. HTN GZH vs. HTN GZH vs. HCM EDVI NS p=0.025 NS EDWT p=0.0002 p<0.0001 NS LVMI p=0.0004 p<0.0001 NS
Conclusion
This study reports a 4% prevalence of HCM among hypertensive patients - 20 x greater than in the general population - which would be left undiagnosed using echo alone. Screening hypertensive individuals with CMR is not routine but we advocate its use in these individuals especially in Afro Caribbeans and in those in the “grey zone”, to identify undiagnosed HCM, which has significant implications for lifestyle modification and family screening.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
In patients treated with coronary stents previous studies have demonstrated an increased risk of acute coronary syndrome in after discontinuation of clopidogrel. In this study, we recruited patients already randomised in the GLOBAL LEADERS study allocated to discontinue aspirin treatment, while remaining on ticagrelor, 1 month after coronary stenting (Ticag MonoRx group) and a control group discontinuing ticagrelor at 6–12 months while remaining on aspirin (ASA MonoRx group). Both groups underwent platelet studies at day 0, prior to discontinuation of aspirin or ticagrelor and then on day 2, 7 and 14 day post cessation with multiple electrode aggregometry.
Purpose
This study was designed to look for evidence of a rebound increase in platelet aggregation in response to collagen after withdrawal of either aspirin or ticagrelor in patients who have been treated with both drugs after PCI with DES implantation. We needed a sample size of 26 patients in each group for 90% power to detect a mean change in platelet aggregation of 100 AU/min with an alpha of 0.05. The primary outcome measure was change in platelet aggregation in response to collagen between baseline and day 2, day 7 and day 14 following cessation of DAPT. A rebound effect was defined as a >10% increase in collagen induced platelet aggregation on either day 2 or day 7 compared to day 14 post discontinuation of either aspirin or ticagrelor.
Methods
Patients provided written informed consent and underwent MEA using arachidonic acid (AA), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thrombin receptor activator peptide (TRAP) and collagen in prespecified concentrations timed at 30 mins post phlebotomy. Results were calculated from the area under the curve and expressed as as whole number aggregation units (AU). Inbuilt QC analysis was used to determine the need for repeat assays.
Results
Collagen induced platelet aggregation was similar in both groups at day 0 (37 AU vs 34 AU; p=0.687) and at day 2 (55 AU vs 40 AU; p=0.12). By day 7, patients on ticagrelor monotherapy had higher collagen induced platelet aggregation (78 AU vs 37 AU; p=0.0001) and this difference was maintained at 14 days (80 AU vs 43 AU; p=0.0001). In patients, assigned to ticagrelor monotherapy after 1 month of DAPT, AA induced platelet aggregation progressively increased from day 0 to day 14. In the patients discontinuing ticagrelor and continuing on aspirin monotherapy, ADP induced platelet aggregation increased from day 0 to day 14. Rebound was seen in 6/17 (35%) patients in the ticagrelor monotherapy group versus 8/17 (47%) patients in the aspirin monotherapy group (p=0.728) with a mean peak of 21 AU (SD 6) and 10 AU (SD 6) respectively above baseline readings, p=0.003. There was no difference in TRAP induced aggregation at any time point.
Figure 1
Conclusions
Ticagrelor monotherapy was associated with higher collagen induced platelet aggregation than aspirin monotherapy at both 7 and 14 days post cessation of DAPT.

Abstract
Effects of combined rising sea temperature and increasing sea level on coral reefs, both factors associated with global warming, have rarely been addressed. In this ~40 y study of shallow reefs in the eastern Indian Ocean, we show that a rising relative sea level, currently estimated at ~11 mm y−1, has not only promoted coral cover but also has potential to limit damaging effects of thermally-induced bleaching. In 2010 the region experienced the most severe bleaching on record with corals subject to sea temperatures of >31 °C for 7 weeks. While the reef flats studied have a common aspect and are dominated by a similar suite of coral species, there was considerable spatial variation in their bleaching response which corresponded with reef-flat depth. Greatest loss of coral cover and community structure disruption occurred on the shallowest reef flats. Damage was less severe on the deepest reef flat where corals were subject to less aerial exposure, rapid flushing and longer submergence in turbid waters. Recovery of the most damaged sites took only ~8 y. While future trajectories of these resilient reefs will depend on sea-level anomalies, and frequency of extreme bleaching the positive role of rising sea level should not be under-estimated.

Abstract
e21524 Background: AYAs experience many distinct periods of developmental transition within this life stage. AYA survivors of childhood cancer are at risk for chronic physical and psychosocial health conditions due to treatment-related exposures. Few studies have evaluated HRQL differences that may exist among developmental subgroups of AYA cancer survivors. This study examined HRQL differences across AYA developmental subgroups (early teens 12-14 years; late teens 15-17; emerging adults 18-24; young adults 25-39) of long term childhood cancer survivors. Methods: Cancer survivors ages 12-39 years who were seen in a long term follow up clinic at time of survey completion (as part of larger HRQL study) and completed therapy ≥2 years ago were included. HRQL was assessed using PedsQL (< 18) and FACT-G (> 18) measures. Demographic and treatment data were obtained from EMR. Analyses compared HRQL measure scores among AYA age subgroups and investigated predictors of HRQL outcomes. Results: A total of 155 patients were included in analysis. Mean age at survey completion was 17.9 [range 12-33] years. PedsQL school functioning was significantly lower for 15-17 year-old compared to 12-14 year-old survivors (M = 77.60, p = 0.01). There were no differences between 18-24 and 25-39 year-old survivors on the FACT-G. PedsQL school functioning was significantly lower for survivors (< 18) compared to normative data (p = 0.004). FACT-G scores for survivors were significantly higher compared to population norms in all domains (p≤0.001) except emotional well-being. Regression CART analysis indicated survivors who were ≤15 years-old and had not relapsed and survivors who were > 15 years old and had ≥2 late effects had lower PedsQL scores. Survivors who were ≥21 years-old had lower FACT-G scores compared to < 21 years. Survivors who were < 21 years-old, > 7 years-old at diagnosis, and > 6 years from end of treatment had lower FACT-G scores. Conclusions: Adolescent survivors may be at risk for school problems years after cancer treatment. Young adult survivors may be at greater risk of poor HRQL. This study highlights potential developmental differences in HRQL predictors and outcomes in long term AYA cancer survivors.

Abstract
We report a case of a pediatric patient who required three separate transplants: OLT at the age 5, HCT at age 13 (8 years post-OLT), and cadaveric RT at age 15 (10 years post-OLT). The child initially presented with fulminant liver failure without known cause, ultimately undergoing OLT from his mother. He then developed SAA, for which he required HCT. Unfortunately, he developed ESRD secondary to prolonged CNI exposure, for which he underwent cadaveric RT. These processes then resulted in 7 years largely free from complications, during which a multi-disciplinary team monitored the patient for complications. Regrettably, at the age of 21 he developed poorly differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon which ultimately led to his demise. While there are case reports of patients requiring two sequential transplants, there is a paucity of reports of successfully completing three separate organ transplants in the same patient. Our case demonstrates progression of a pediatric patient through OLT, HCT, and RT with discussion of notable clinical implications. Secondarily, this case highlights the importance of coordination of care amongst various subspecialties to facilitate tandem transplantations and manage the complications of these processes. As pediatric patients have improved survival rates and may require multiple transplants, it remains important to highlight the feasibility as well as the complications of the tandem transplant process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient selection for critical care admission must balance patient safety with optimal resource allocation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between critical care admission, and postoperative mortality after abdominal surgery. METHODS This prespecified secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational study included consecutive patients enrolled in the DISCOVER study from UK and Republic of Ireland undergoing major gastrointestinal and liver surgery between October and December 2014. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore associations between critical care admission (planned and unplanned) and mortality, and inter-centre variation in critical care admission after emergency laparotomy. RESULTS Of 4529 patients included, 37.8% (n=1713) underwent planned critical care admissions from theatre. Some 3.1% (n=86/2816) admitted to ward-level care subsequently underwent unplanned critical care admission. Overall 30-day mortality was 2.9% (n=133/4519), and the risk-adjusted association between 30-day mortality and critical care admission was higher in unplanned [odds ratio (OR): 8.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.51-19.97) than planned admissions (OR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.43-3.85). Some 26.7% of patients (n=1210/4529) underwent emergency laparotomies. After adjustment, 49.3% (95% CI: 46.8-51.9%, P<0.001) were predicted to have planned critical care admissions, with 7% (n=10/145) of centres outside the 95% CI. CONCLUSIONS After risk adjustment, no 30-day survival benefit was identified for either planned or unplanned postoperative admissions to critical care within this cohort. This likely represents appropriate admission of the highest-risk patients. Planned admissions in selected, intermediate-risk patients may present a strategy to mitigate the risk of unplanned admission. Substantial inter-centre variation exists in planned critical care admissions after emergency laparotomies.

Abstract
The present study examines the potential of sequencing a neurocognitive intervention with behavioral parent training (BPT) to improve executive functions (EFs), psychiatric symptoms, and multiple indices of functional impairment in school-age children aged 7 to 11 years who have been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Specifically, in a randomized controlled trial design, 85 children were assigned to either Cogmed Working Memory Training (CWMT) followed by an empirically supported, manualized BPT intervention, or to a placebo version of CWMT followed by the same BPT intervention. Working memory maintenance (i.e., attention control/short-term memory), working memory processing and manipulation, ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms, impairment in parent-child dynamics, familial impairment, and overall functional compromise were evaluated as outcomes. The results suggest specific effects of the combined CWMT and BPT program on verbal and nonverbal working memory storage and nonverbal working memory processing and manipulation but no incremental benefits in regard to ADHD symptoms, ODD symptoms, and functional outcomes. The present findings do not support the hypothesis regarding the complementary and augmentative benefits of sequenced neurocognitive and BPT interventions for the treatment of ADHD. These results, the study's limitations, and future directions for research are further discussed.
