Abstract
Introduction Autoimmune diseases are heterogeneous and often lack specific or sensitive diagnostic tests. Increased percentages of CD4+CXCR5+PD1+ circulating T follicular helper (cTfh) cells and skewed distributions of cTfh subtypes have been associated with autoimmunity. However, cTfh cell percentages can normalize with immunomodulatory treatment despite persistent disease activity, indicating the need for identifying additional cellular and/or serologic features correlating with autoimmunity. Methods The cohort included 50 controls and 56 patients with autoimmune cytopenias, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and/or neurologic autoimmune disease. Flow cytometry was used to measure CD4+CXCR5+ T cell subsets expressing the chemokine receptors CXCR3 and/or CCR6: CXCR3+CCR6- Type 1, CXCR3-CCR6- Type 2, CXCR3+CCR6+ Type 1/17, and CXCR3- CCR6+ Type 17 T cells. IgG and IgA autoantibodies were quantified using a microarray featuring 1616 full-length, conformationally intact protein antigens. The 97.5th percentile in the control cohort defined normal limits for T cell subset percentages and total number (burden) of autoantibodies. Results This study focused on CD4+CXCR5+ T cells because CXCR5 upregulation occurs after cognate T-B cell interactions characteristic of autoimmune diseases. We refer to these cells as circulating T follicular memory (cTfm) cells to acknowledge the dynamic nature of antigen-experienced CXCR5+ T cells, which encompass progenitors of cTfh or Tfh cells as well as early effector memory T cells that have not yet lost CXCR5. Compared to controls, 57.1% of patients had increased CXCR5+CXCR3+CCR6+ cTfm1/17 and 25% had increased CXCR5+CXCR3-CCR6+ cTfm17 cell percentages. Patients had significantly more diverse IgG and IgA autoantibodies than controls and 44.6% had an increased burden of autoantibodies of either isotype. Unsupervised autoantibody clustering identified three clusters of patients with IgG autoantibody profiles distinct from those of controls, enriched for patients with active autoimmunity and monogenic diseases. An increased percentage of cTfm17 cells was most closely associated with an increased burden of high-titer IgG and IgA autoantibodies. A composite measure integrating increased cTfm1/17, cTfm17, and high-titer IgG and/or IgA autoantibodies had 91.1% sensitivity and 90.9% specificity for identifying patients with autoimmunity. Percentages of cTfm1/17 and cTfm17 percentages and numbers of high-titer autoantibodies in patients receiving immunomodulatory treatment did not differ from those in untreated patients, thus suggesting that measurements of cTfm can complement measurements of other cellular markers affected by treatment. Conclusions This study highlights two new approaches for assessing autoimmunity: measuring CD4+CXCR5+ cTfm subsets as well as total burden of autoantibodies. Our findings suggest that these approaches are particularly relevant to patients with rare autoimmune disorders for whom target antigens and prognosis are often unknown.

Abstract
Physical trauma disrupts skin barrier function. How the skin barrier recovers is not fully understood. We evaluated in mice the mechanism of skin barrier recovery after mechanical injury inflicted by tape stripping. Tape stripping disrupted skin barrier function as evidenced by increased transepidermal water loss. We show that tape stripping induces IL-1-, IL-23-, and TCRγδ+-dependent upregulation of cutaneous Il17a and Il22 expression. We demonstrate that IL-17A and IL-22 induce epidermal hyperplasia, promote neutrophil recruitment, and delay skin barrier function recovery. Neutrophil depletion improved the recovery of skin barrier function and decreased epidermal hyperplasia. Single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry analysis of skin cells revealed basophil infiltration into tape-stripped skin. Basophil depletion upregulated Il17a expression, increased neutrophil infiltration, and delayed skin barrier recovery. Comparative analysis of genes differentially expressed in tape-stripped skin of basophil-depleted mice and Il17a-/- mice indicated that basophils counteract the effects of IL-17A on the expression of epidermal and lipid metabolism genes important for skin barrier integrity. Our results demonstrate that basophils play a protective role by downregulating Il17a expression after mechanical skin injury, thereby counteracting the adverse effect of IL-17A on skin barrier function recovery, and suggest interventions to accelerate this recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Debates on the allocation of medical resources during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic revealed the need for a better understanding of immunological risk. Studies highlighted variable clinical outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in individuals with defects in both adaptive and innate immunity, suggesting additional contributions from other factors. Notably, none of these studies controlled for variables linked with social determinants of health. OBJECTIVE To determine the contributions of determinants of health to risk of hospitalization for SARS-CoV-2 infection among individuals with inborn errors of immunodeficiencies. METHODS This is a retrospective, single-center cohort study of 166 individuals with inborn errors of immunity, aged 2 months through 69 years, who developed SARS-CoV-2 infections from March 1, 2020, through March 31, 2022. Risks of hospitalization were assessed using a multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The risk of SARS-CoV-2-related hospitalization was associated with underrepresented racial and ethnic populations (odds ratio [OR] 4.50; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.57-13.4), a diagnosis of any genetically defined immunodeficiency (OR 3.32; 95% CI 1.24-9.43), obesity (OR 4.24; 95% CI 1.38-13.3), and neurological disease (OR 4.47; 95% CI 1.44-14.3). The COVID-19 vaccination was associated with reduced hospitalization risk (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.31-0.81). Defects in T cell and innate immune function, immune-mediated organ dysfunction, and social vulnerability were not associated with increased risk of hospitalization after controlling for covariates. CONCLUSIONS The associations between race, ethnicity, and obesity with increased risk of hospitalization for SARS-CoV-2 infection indicate the importance of variables linked with social determinants of health as immunological risk factors for individuals with inborn errors of immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin colonization with Staphylococcus aureus aggravates atopic dermatitis and exaggerates allergic skin inflammation in mice. IL-4 receptor α (IL-4Rα) blockade is beneficial in atopic dermatitis and reduces Saureus skin colonization through unknown mechanisms. The cytokine IL-17A restrains Saureus growth. OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine the effect of IL-4Rα blockade on Saureus colonization at sites of allergic skin inflammation in mice and determine the mechanism involved. METHODS BALB/c mice were epicutaneously sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA). Immediately after, PSVue 794-labeled S aureus strain SF8300 or saline was applied and a single dose of anti-IL-4Rα blocking antibody, a mixture of anti-IL-4Rα and anti-IL-17A blocking antibodies, or IgG isotype controls were administered intradermally. Saureus load was assessed 2 days later by in vivo imaging and enumeration of colony forming units. Skin cellular infiltration was examined by flow cytometry and gene expression by quantitative PCR and transcriptome analysis. RESULTS IL-4Rα blockade decreased allergic skin inflammation in OVA-sensitized skin, as well as in OVA-sensitized and Saureus-exposed skin, evidenced by significantly decreased epidermal thickening and reduced dermal infiltration by eosinophils and mast cells. This was accompanied by increased cutaneous expression of Il17a and IL-17A-driven antimicrobial genes with no change in Il4 and Il13 expression. IL-4Rα blockade significantly decreased Saureus load in OVA-sensitized and S aureus-exposed skin. IL-17A blockade reversed the beneficial effect of IL-4Rα blockade on Saureus clearance and reduced the cutaneous expression of IL-17A-driven antimicrobial genes. CONCLUSIONS IL-4Rα blockade promotes Saureus clearance from sites of allergic skin inflammation in part by enhancing IL-17A expression.

Abstract
Mechanistic studies of autoimmune disorders have identified circulating T follicular helper (cTfh) cells as drivers of autoimmunity. However, the quantification of cTfh cells is not yet used in clinical practice due to the lack of age-stratified normal ranges and the unknown sensitivity and specificity of this test for autoimmunity. We enrolled 238 healthy participants and 130 patients with common and rare disorders of autoimmunity or autoinflammation. Patients with infections, active malignancy, or any history of transplantation were excluded. In 238 healthy controls, median cTfh percentages (range 4.8%-6.2%) were comparable among age groups, sexes, races, and ethnicities, apart from a significantly lower percentages in children less than 1 year of age (median 2.1%, CI: 0.4%-6.8, p < 0.0001). Among 130 patients with over 40 immune regulatory disorders, a cTfh percentage exceeding 12% had 88% sensitivity and 94% specificity for differentiating disorders with adaptive immune cell dysregulation from those with predominantly innate cell defects. This threshold had a sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 100% for active autoimmunity and normalized with effective treatment. cTfh percentages exceeding 12% distinguish autoimmunity from autoinflammation, thereby differentiating two endotypes of immune dysregulation with overlapping symptoms and different therapies.

Results The risk of SARS-CoV-2-related hospitalization was associated with underrepresented racial and ethnic populations (odds ratio [OR] 5.29; confidence interval [CI], 1.76-17.0), a diagnosis of any genetically-defined immunodeficiency (OR 4.62; CI, 1.60-14.8), use of B cell depleting therapy within one year of infection (OR 6.1; CI, 1.05-38.5), obesity (OR 3.74; CI, 1.17-12.5), and neurologic disease (OR 5.38; CI, 1.61-17.8). COVID-19 vaccination was associated with reduced hospitalization risk (OR 0.52; CI, 0.31-0.81). Defective T cell function, immune-mediated organ dysfunction, and social vulnerability were not associated with increased risk of hospitalization after controlling for covariates. Conclusions The associations between race, ethnicity, and obesity with increased risk of hospitalization for SARS-CoV-2 infection indicate the importance of variables linked with social determinants of health as immunologic risk factors for individuals with inborn errors of immunity. Highlights What is already known about this topic? Outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infections in individuals with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are highly variable. Prior studies of patients with IEI have not controlled for race or social vulnerability. What does this article add to our knowledge ? For individuals with IEI, hospitalizations for SARS-CoV-2 were associated with race, ethnicity, obesity, and neurologic disease. Specific types of immunodeficiency, organ dysfunction, and social vulnerability were not associated with increased risk of hospitalization. How does this study impact current management guidelines? Current guidelines for the management of IEIs focus on risk conferred by genetic and cellular mechanisms. This study highlights the importance of considering variables linked with social determinants of health and common comorbidities as immunologic risk factors.

Abstract
The inclusive electron neutrino charged-current cross section is measured in the NOvA near detector using 8.02×10^{20} protons-on-target in the NuMI beam. The sample of GeV electron neutrino interactions is the largest analyzed to date and is limited by ≃17% systematic rather than the ≃7.4% statistical uncertainties. The double-differential cross section in final-state electron energy and angle is presented for the first time, together with the single-differential dependence on Q^{2} (squared four-momentum transfer) and energy, in the range 1 GeV≤E_{ν}<6 GeV. Detailed comparisons are made to the predictions of the GENIE, GiBUU, NEUT, and NuWro neutrino event generators. The data do not strongly favor a model over the others consistently across all three cross sections measured, though some models have especially good or poor agreement in the single differential cross section vs Q^{2}.

Abstract
This Letter reports results from the first long-baseline search for sterile antineutrinos mixing in an accelerator-based antineutrino-dominated beam. The rate of neutral-current interactions in the two NOvA detectors, at distances of 1 and 810 km from the beam source, is analyzed using an exposure of 12.51×10^{20} protons-on-target from the NuMI beam at Fermilab running in antineutrino mode. A total of 121 of neutral-current candidates are observed at the far detector, compared to a prediction of 122±11(stat.)±15(syst.) assuming mixing only between three active flavors. No evidence for ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{s} oscillation is observed. Interpreting this result within a 3+1 model, constraints are placed on the mixing angles θ_{24}<25° and θ_{34}<32° at the 90% C.L. for 0.05 eV^{2}≤Δm_{41}^{2}≤0.5 eV^{2}, the range of mass splittings that produces no significant oscillations at the near detector. These are the first 3+1 confidence limits set using long-baseline accelerator antineutrinos.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a pediatric complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection that is characterized by multiorgan inflammation and frequently by cardiovascular dysfunction. It occurs predominantly in otherwise healthy children. We previously reported haploinsufficiency of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1), a negative regulator of type I and II interferons, as a genetic risk factor for MIS-C. OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify additional genetic mechanisms underlying susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-associated MIS-C. METHODS In a single-center, prospective cohort study, whole exome sequencing was performed on patients with MIS-C. The impact of candidate variants was tested by using patients' PBMCs obtained at least 7 months after recovery. RESULTS We enrolled 18 patients with MIS-C (median age = 8 years; interquartile range = 5-12.25 years), of whom 89% had no conditions other than obesity. In 2 boys with no significant infection history, we identified and validated hemizygous deleterious defects in XIAP, encoding X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis, and CYBB, encoding cytochrome b-245, beta subunit. Including the previously reported SOCS1 haploinsufficiency, a genetic diagnosis was identified in 3 of 18 patients (17%). In contrast to patients with mild COVID-19, patients with defects in SOCS1, XIAP, or CYBB exhibit an inflammatory immune cell transcriptome with enrichment of differentially expressed genes in pathways downstream of IL-18, oncostatin M, and nuclear factor κB, even after recovery. CONCLUSIONS Although inflammatory disorders are rare in the general population, our cohort of patients with MIS-C was enriched for monogenic susceptibility to inflammation. Our results support the use of next-generation sequencing in previously healthy children who develop MIS-C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recognition of viral nucleic acids is one of the primary triggers for a type I interferon-mediated antiviral immune response. Inborn errors of type I interferon immunity can be associated with increased inflammation and/or increased susceptibility to viral infections as a result of dysbalanced interferon production. NFX1-type zinc finger-containing 1 (ZNFX1) is an interferon-stimulated double-stranded RNA sensor that restricts the replication of RNA viruses in mice. The role of ZNFX1 in the human immune response is not known. OBJECTIVE We studied 15 patients from 8 families with an autosomal recessive immunodeficiency characterized by severe infections by both RNA and DNA viruses and virally triggered inflammatory episodes with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like disease, early-onset seizures, and renal and lung disease. METHODS Whole exome sequencing was performed on 13 patients from 8 families. We investigated the transcriptome, posttranscriptional regulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and predisposition to viral infections in primary cells from patients and controls stimulated with synthetic double-stranded nucleic acids. RESULTS Deleterious homozygous and compound heterozygous ZNFX1 variants were identified in all 13 patients. Stimulation of patient-derived primary cells with synthetic double-stranded nucleic acids was associated with a deregulated pattern of expression of ISGs and alterations in the half-life of the mRNA of ISGs and also associated with poorer clearance of viral infections by monocytes. CONCLUSION ZNFX1 is an important regulator of the response to double-stranded nucleic acids stimuli following viral infections. ZNFX1 deficiency predisposes to severe viral infections and a multisystem inflammatory disease.

Abstract
The NOvA experiment has seen a 4.4σ signal of ν[over ¯]_{e} appearance in a 2 GeV ν[over ¯]_{μ} beam at a distance of 810 km. Using 12.33×10^{20} protons on target delivered to the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beamline, the experiment recorded 27 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{e} candidates with a background of 10.3 and 102 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{μ} candidates. This new antineutrino data are combined with neutrino data to measure the parameters |Δm_{32}^{2}|=2.48_{-0.06}^{+0.11}×10^{-3} eV^{2}/c^{4} and sin^{2}θ_{23} in the ranges from (0.53-0.60) and (0.45-0.48) in the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. The data exclude most values near δ_{CP}=π/2 for the inverted mass hierarchy by more than 3σ and favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy by 1.9σ and θ_{23} values in the upper octant by 1.6σ.

Abstract
We report on multinucleon effects in low momentum transfer (<0.8 GeV/c) antineutrino interactions on plastic (CH) scintillator. These data are from the 2010-2011 antineutrino phase of the MINERvA experiment at Fermilab. The hadronic energy spectrum of this inclusive sample is well described when a screening effect at a low energy transfer and a two-nucleon knockout process are added to a relativistic Fermi gas model of quasielastic, Δ resonance, and higher resonance processes. In this analysis, model elements introduced to describe previously published neutrino results have quantitatively similar benefits for this antineutrino sample. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to accelerate the investigation of alternate models for antineutrino scattering off nuclei.

Abstract
Two different nuclear-medium effects are isolated using a low three-momentum transfer subsample of neutrino-carbon scattering data from the MINERvA neutrino experiment. The observed hadronic energy in charged-current ν_{μ} interactions is combined with muon kinematics to permit separation of the quasielastic and Δ(1232) resonance processes. First, we observe a small cross section at very low energy transfer that matches the expected screening effect of long-range nucleon correlations. Second, additions to the event rate in the kinematic region between the quasielastic and Δ resonance processes are needed to describe the data. The data in this kinematic region also have an enhanced population of multiproton final states. Contributions predicted for scattering from a nucleon pair have both properties; the model tested in this analysis is a significant improvement but does not fully describe the data. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to enable further investigation of nuclear models. Improved description of the effects of the nuclear environment are required by current and future neutrino oscillation experiments.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether a lessened glucocorticoid cumulative dose would lead to a decreased incidence of femoral head osteonecrosis. METHODS Newly transplanted in-patients (n = 49) underwent hip radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a mean of 17.0+/-4.3 (range 8-29) days after renal transplantation. For the 48 patients without evidence of prevalent osteonecrosis, imaging at a mean of 5.9+/-0.8 (range 4.8-8.7) months after renal transplantation was graded for presence/absence of femoral head osteonecrosis by two blinded radiologists. Sociodemographic and disease characteristics of patients were compared to identify potential associations with incident osteonecrosis. RESULTS At 6-month follow-up, only two patients (4%) had osteonecrosis of the femoral head (three hips). The two primary radiologists had excellent agreement between osteonecrosis diagnosis (kappa coefficient=0.78). Both cases of a definite MRI diagnosis of osteonecrosis occurred in patients who were in the highest tertile of glucocorticoid dosage. CONCLUSION Osteonecrosis was uncommon among a prospective cohort of renal transplant recipients within 6 months after engraftment.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (EC) that form the inner lining of blood vessels remain quiescent in the normal adult vasculature except during angiogenesis and reendothelialization, which result in EC proliferation and migration. EC placed in culture at subconfluent density also undergo cell multiplication and movement. This report demonstrates that whereas in confluent EC in a compact monolayer, the EC-EC adhesion molecule platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is strongly expressed at cell borders, little or no PECAM-1 immunostaining is detected in sparse or migrating cultured EC. Consistent with this observation, steady-state PECAM-1 mRNA expression was much lower in subconfluent EC than in confluent EC. The absence of PECAM-1 expression in sparse EC appeared not to be linked to ability to proliferate, since PECAM-1 expression remained low even in the presence of nitric oxide (NO) or mitomycin C, agents that inhibit EC growth. However, another growth-inhibitory agent, TGF-beta 1, did not alter PECAM-1 staining. Based on these observations, it is hypothesized that cell-associated mechanical forces underlying cell tensegrity regulate PECAM-1 expression.

Abstract
The immunologic and virologic efficacy and safety of interferon a (IFN-alpha) administered in combination with zidovudine (ZDV) and zalcitabine (ddC) was evaluated in HIV-infected subjects with CD4+ cell counts between 300 and 500 cells/ml and no more than 14 weeks of prior antiretroviral therapy. A total of 256 subjects enrolled in an open-label, randomized controlled trial. Subjects were randomized equally into treatment groups. All subjects received ZDV and ddC, while half also receive IFN-alpha (3 MU subcutaneously every 24 hr). At 48 weeks the median average area under the curve minus baseline (AAUCMB) for plasma HIV-1 RNA for the two-drug group was -0.68 versus -0.75 log10 copies/ml for the IFN-alpha group (p = 0.046). Mean HIV-1 RNA changes from baseline to 48 weeks for these groups were -0.65 and -1.12 log10 copies/ml, respectively (p = 0.010). The median AAUCMB for CD4+ cell count for the two-drug group was 28 versus -1 cells/mm3 for the IFN-alpha group (p = 0.011). Neutropenia, anemia, and drug intolerance were more common in the IFN-alpha group. This study demonstrates that IFN-alpha inhibits HIV-1 replication but attenuates the CD4+ cell response to dual therapy with ZDV and ddC.

Abstract
We conducted a randomised, double-blind, parallel design study comparing the efficacy and tolerability of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist, losartan, alone or with low-dose hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) to the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, nifedipine GITS (gastro-intestinal therapeutic system), in elderly patients (> or =65 years old) with a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between 95 and 115 mm Hg. After a placebo wash out period, 140 patients were randomly assigned to receive either losartan 50 mg or nifedipine GITS 30 mg. Patients were evaluated at 4-week intervals during a 12-week treatment period. Patients receiving losartan had HCTZ 12.5 mg added and increased to 25 mg to reduce DBP <90 mm Hg. Patients receiving nifedipine GITS had their dose increased to 60 mg and 90 mg to reduce DBP <90 mm Hg. Efficacy, tolerability and quality of life were assessed during the 12 weeks on each regimen. Patients treated with the losartan regimen (n = 73) had reductions in trough sitting DBP of -10, -13, and -13 mm Hg after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of therapy, respectively. Patients receiving the nifedipine GITS regimen (n = 67) had DBP reductions of -14, -15, and -15 mm Hg, respectively. There were no significant differences in the DBP response between the treatment groups except at week 4 (P < 0.05). Similar reductions in systolic BP (SBP) between the two treatment groups were observed at all time points. The percentages of patients in the two treatment groups reaching goal DBP (<90 mm Hg or DBP > or =90 mm Hg with a reduction from a baseline of > or =10 mm Hg) were comparable (81% on the losartan regimen and 90% on the nifedipine GITS regimen). There were significantly more adverse events reported in patients receiving nifedipine GITS when compared to the losartan regimen (54% vs 36%, P < 0.05). A patient-reported symptom inventory also showed that swollen ankles was bothersome in significantly more patients treated with the nifedipine GITS regimen when compared to the losartan regimen (24% vs 5%, P = 0.001). Thus, in elderly patients with diastolic hypertension, a regimen of losartan alone or with HCTZ has similar efficacy to a regimen of nifedipine GITS with greater tolerability and less symptom bother due to swollen ankles.

Abstract
A randomized, double-masked, parallel-group, multicenter clinical trial was conducted to compare the efficacy, tolerability, and effects on quality of life associated with treatment regimens including the angiotensin II receptor antagonist losartan, with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) added as needed, with regimens including the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine with HCTZ added as needed. The trial included patients whose sitting diastolic blood pressure (SiDBP) measurements were between 95 and 114 mm Hg, inclusive, at placebo baseline. Patients were randomized to receive either losartan or amlodipine in a double-masked, double-dummy fashion. A 4-week placebo washout period was followed by a 12-week active treatment period. Patients in the losartan arm (n = 97) were initially given 50 mg of oral (PO) losartan once a day (QD); the medication could be titrated to 50-mg losartan/ 12.5-mg HCTZ PO QD after 4 weeks, followed by 50-mg losartan plus 25-mg HCTZ PO QD after 8 weeks as necessary. Patients in the amlodipine group (n = 93) received 5-mg amlodipine PO QD, which could be titrated to 10 mg PO QD after 4 weeks, followed by 10 mg plus 25-mg HCTZ PO QD after 8 weeks. Medication was titrated upward as necessary to achieve trough SiDBP < 90 mm Hg. Efficacy, tolerability, and quality-of-life scores were assessed after 12 weeks of therapy with each regimen. Trough SiDBP reductions after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of therapy were clinically comparable (losartan group: 7.3, 10.4, and 11.1 mm Hg, respectively; amlodipine group: 7.9, 11.2, and 11.8 mm Hg, respectively). Similar reductions in systolic blood pressure were also seen for both treatment groups. The percentage of patients reaching goal SiDBP (defined as trough SiDBP < 90 mm Hg or SiDBP > or = 90 mm Hg with a > or = 10 mm Hg drop from placebo baseline) was comparable for the two groups, with 68% of patients in the losartan group and 71% of patients in the amlodipine group reaching goal. Significantly more patients in the amlodipine group had drug-related adverse experiences (27% vs 13%). In particular, drug-related edema was more common in patients receiving the amlodipine regimen than in those receiving the losartan regimen (11% vs 1%). Patients in the amlodipine arm reported significantly more bother due to edema, regardless of whether edema was present at baseline, than did patients in the losartan arm (12% vs 2%), although overall quality of life was not different in the two treatment groups. This study demonstrates that a regimen of losartan with HCTZ added as needed, when compared with a regimen of amlodipine with HCTZ added as needed, provides comparable efficacy and superior tolerability and less bother to patients with respect to edema.

Abstract
A randomized, double-masked, parallel-group, multicenter clinical trial was conducted to compare the efficacy, tolerability, and effects on quality of life associated with the angiotensin II receptor antagonist losartan, alone or with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), and the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) in patients whose sitting diastolic blood pressure measurements were between 95 and 115 mm Hg, inclusive, while receiving placebo. Patients were randomized to receive either losartan or nifedipine GITS in a double-masked, double-dummy fashion. A 4-week placebo washout period established baseline untreated blood pressure measurements and was followed by a 12-week active treatment period. Patients receiving losartan (n = 110) were initially given 50 mg once a day (QD) and could be titrated to losartan/HCTZ 50 mg/12.5 mg QD after 4 weeks followed by losartan/HCTZ 50 mg/25 mg QD after 8 weeks, as necessary. Patients in the nifedipine GITS group (n = 113) received 30 mg QD, which could titrated to 60 mg QD after 4 weeks followed by 90 mg QD after 8 weeks. Medication was titrated upward as necessary to achieve a sitting trough diastolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg. Efficacy, tolerability, and quality-of-life scores were assessed after 12 weeks of each therapy. Trough sitting diastolic blood pressure reductions after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of therapy were clinically comparable: losartan, -8.9, -11.6, and -12.7 mm Hg, respectively, and nifedipine GITS, -9.3, -11.0, and -11.1 mm Hg, respectively, with the mean reduction in sitting diastolic blood pressure at 12 weeks in the losartan group 1.6 mm Hg lower (95% confidence interval, 3.4 mm Hg lower to 0.3 mm Hg Higher) than the mean reduction in sitting diastolic blood pressure in the nifedipine GITS group. Similarly, reductions in systolic blood pressure between the two treatment groups were comparable at all time points. The percentage of patients reaching the goal trough sitting diastolic blood pressure was comparable for the two treatment groups, with 74% of patients in the losartan regimen and 68% of patients in the nifedipine GITS regimen reaching the goal. Of patients reporting adverse events in the two groups (75 patients receiving losartan and 69 receiving nifedipine GITS), there was significantly more edema in the nifedipine GITS group (15% vs 4%; P = 0.005). Fourteen (12%) patients in the nifedipine GITS group were withdrawn due to an adverse event (eight of these were for edema). Six patients (5%) in the losartan group were withdrawn due to an adverse event (none of these patients had edema). There were significant differences in the patient-reported quality-of-life symptom bother inventory with respect to edema, with nifedipine GITS therapy causing significantly more bother due to edema in patients, regardless of whether that symptom was present at baseline (27% vs 9%; P = 0.0004). No statistically significant differences for bother due to the other symptoms in the inventory were noted. Of note, while the incidence of patient-reported symptom bother due to edema in the nifedipine GITS group was 27%, the incidence of physician-reported drug-related edema was 12%. This difference points to the need for improved physician-patient communication regarding adverse effects and their impact of patients' quality of life. In conclusion, a regimen of losartan, when compared with a regimen of nifedipine GITS, provides comparable efficacy, and with respect to edema, superior tolerability, less bother to patients, and fewer therapy dropouts.

Abstract
In a prospective, randomized study undertaken to determine if age, length of hospital stay, or severity of illness are predictors of future functional status after intensive care unit (ICU) admission, 45 patients were evaluated. Pre-ICU functional status was determined by using Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Mini-Mental State (MMS) examinations. Severity of illness was assessed by using the Acute Physiology Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-II) system. There were no significant differences in age or APACHE-II score at 6-month followup. However, in those patients who had decreased ADL and IADL scores, ICU and total hospital length of stay were two and three times longer, respectively. Functional status at 6-months was unrelated to age or severity of illness, but correlated with the length of ICU and total hospital stay. Advanced age and severity of illness should not be used to predict future functional ability.

Abstract
The Inter-Company Collaboration for AIDS Drug Development (ICC) represents a collaborative effort among member companies to facilitate the conduct of clinical trials on AIDS drugs. One of the goals of the ICC is to expedite the development of combination antiretroviral therapy through data and compound sharing. Recently, the ICC formed a consensus master protocol to evaluate rapidly the safety and efficacy of triple-drug combinations of antiretroviral therapy for treatment of HIV-infected patients. This concept builds upon historical work with combination chemotherapy that resulted in treatments to successfully control chronic immunosuppressive, infectious or malignant diseases, such as tuberculosis, leprosy, childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Because of limitations on potency and the continuing emergence of drug resistance seen with use of currently available antiretroviral agents in monotherapy and two-drug combination regimens, triple-combination regimens should represent a more promising approach to maximize antiviral activity, maintain long-term efficacy, and reduce the incidence of drug resistance. The ICC master protocol is a randomized, controlled, double-blind study with a treatment duration of 52 weeks. Patients eligible to enroll in this study must have documented HIV infection, with CD4 counts between 200 and 500 cells/mm3, and no history of antiretroviral therapy. The first four triple-drug combinations will be evaluated in two trials. These regimens have been selected based on encouraging data from laboratory and clinical studies. Each ICC trial will consist of three arms, with 75 patients per arm. Protocol ICC 001 will include AZT + zalcitabine (ddC) + saquinavir, AZT + ddC + nevirapine, and AZT + ddC as the control arm.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Commercial directories and governmental lists of dwelling units in low income urban Black communities in four eastern cities were evaluated for completeness. With rare exceptions, less than 90 percent of dwelling units were included in any one list and no list adequately identified multiple dwelling unit structures. Since household income is likely to be lower among households in such structures, all lists tend to miss the very poor, i.e., those who may be at highest health risk.

Abstract
Inflatable suits were constructed for lower body compression in pigs and dogs. The suit for pigs encompassed hindquarters and part of the abdomen, and the smaller suit for dogs compressed only the hindquarters, leaving free the abdominal cavity. In conscious, diazepam-pretreated pigs, the compression lasted 30 minutes; during that period the blood pressure increased 50/38 mm Hg over the baseline. In chloralose-anesthetized dogs, the compression was extended to 3 hours; the blood pressure increase was 44/53 mm Hg. Blood pressure fell to the baseline immediately after decompression in both animals. In both species the substantial blood pressure increase was due to an increase of vascular resistance; this did not induced the expected baroreceptor-mediated bradycardia. In dogs, the blood pressure increase was accompanied by a large increase of plasma norepinephrine (from 179 to 975 pg/ml). To test whether the increase of vascular resistance reflected the mechanical compression of the vessels under the suit, animals were pretreated with trimethaphan. In pigs the trimethaphan substantially decreased the vascular resistance and the blood pressure response. This indicated that a portion of the vasoconstriction occurred in areas outside the suit. Lower body compression is a new model to cause prolonged blood pressure elevation by noninvasive and nonpharmacologic means. The mechanism of the blood pressure elevation requires further investigation.
