Abstract
Appalachian regions of Kentucky and Ohio are hotspots for colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality in the USA. Screening reduces CRC incidence and mortality; however, screening uptake is needed, especially in these underserved geographic areas. Implementation science offers strategies to address this challenge. The aim of the current study was to conduct multi-site, transdisciplinary research to evaluate and improve CRC screening processes using implementation science strategies. The study consists of two phases (Planning and Implementation). In the Planning Phase, a multilevel assessment of 12 health centers (HC) (one HC from each of the 12 Appalachian counties) was conducted by interviewing key informants, creating community profiles, identifying HC and community champions, and performing HC data inventories. Two designated pilot HCs chose CRC evidence-based interventions to adapt and implement at each level (i.e., patient, provider, HC, and community) with evaluation relative to two matched control HCs. During the Implementation Phase, study staff will repeat the rollout process in HC and community settings in a randomized, staggered fashion in the remaining eight counties/HCs. Evaluation will include analyses of electronic health record data and provider and county surveys. Rural HCs have been reluctant to participate in research because of concerns about capacity; however, this project should demonstrate that research does not need to be burdensome and can adapt to local needs and HC abilities. If effective, this approach could be disseminated to HC and community partners throughout Appalachia to encourage the uptake of effective interventions to reduce the burden of CRC.

Abstract
Ferromagnetic films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are of interest in spintronics and superconducting spintronics. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy can be achieved in thin ferromagnetic multilayer structures, when the anisotropy is driven by carefully engineered interfaces. Devices with multiple interfaces are disadvantageous for our application in superconducting spintronics, where the current perpendicular to plane is affected by the interfaces. Robust intrinsic PMA can be achieved in certain Co[Formula: see text]Pt[Formula: see text] alloys and compounds at any thickness, without increasing the number of interfaces. Here, we grow equiatomic Co[Formula: see text]Pt[Formula: see text] and report a comprehensive study on the structural, magnetic, and spin-polarisation properties in the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ordered compounds. Primarily, interest in Co[Formula: see text]Pt[Formula: see text] has been in the [Formula: see text] crystal structure, where layers of Pt and Co are stacked alternately in the [100] direction. There has been less work on [Formula: see text] crystal structure, where the stacking is in the [111] direction. For the latter [Formula: see text] crystal structure, we find magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film plane. For the former [Formula: see text] crystal structure, the magnetic anisotropy is perpendicular to the [100] plane, which is neither in-plane or out-of-plane in our samples. We obtain a value for the ballistic spin polarisation of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] Co[Formula: see text]Pt[Formula: see text] to be [Formula: see text].

Abstract
The static and dynamic TIM-1 in vitro digestibility of similarly sized Span 60 o/w emulsions containing either liquid palm olein droplets (PO) or palm stearin (PS) droplets tempered to contain different levels of crystallinity (i.e., PS-SE (maximum), PS-SE-INT (intermediate), and PS-LE (undercooled)) were explored. Static in vitro digestion experiments included particle size analysis, and emulsion digestibility and bioaccessibility were compared between the static and dynamic models, respectively. β-carotene (BC, 0.1 wt%) was also incorporated in the emulsions to determine the influence of triacylglycerol (TAG) crystallinity on BC bioaccessibility and stability during storage under accelerated lighting conditions. TAG crystallinity altered the colloidal fat crystal network properties and ultimately impacted lipid digestion, attenuating early static in vitro lipolysis for the PS emulsions compared to the PO emulsion. This correlated well with TIM-1 bioaccessibility trends and with results from our results of a previous human study wherein the rise in postprandial TAG was delayed when healthy men consumed PS-SE versus PS-LE. The presence of crystalline TAG modestly accelerated BC degradation, and did not improve preservation nor alter BC in vitro bioaccessibility.

Abstract
This study describes the development of a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening multilevel intervention with four primary care clinics in rural Appalachian Kentucky. We also discuss barriers experienced by the clinics during COVID-19 and how clinic limitations and needs informed project modifications. Four primary care clinics were recruited, key informant interviews with clinic providers were conducted, electronic health record (EHR) capacity to collect data related to CRC screening and follow-up was assessed, and a series of meetings were held with clinic champions to discuss implementation of strategies to impact clinic CRC screening rates. Analysis of interviews revealed multilevel barriers to CRC screening. Patient-level barriers included fatalism, competing priorities, and financial and literacy concerns. The main provider- and clinic-level barriers were provider preference for colonoscopy over stool-based testing and EHR tracking concerns. Clinics selected strategies to address barriers, but the onset of COVID-19 necessitated modifications to these strategies. Due to COVID-19, changes in clinic staffing and workflow occurred, including provider furloughs, a state-mandated pause in elective procedures, and an increase in telehealth. Clinics adapted screening strategies to match changing needs, including shifting from paper to digital educational tools and using telehealth to increase annual wellness visits for screening promotion. While significant delays persist for scheduling colonoscopies, clinics were encouraged to promote stool-based tests as a primary screening modality for average-risk patients.

Abstract
Chronic tendinopathy represents a growing healthcare burden in the ageing global population. Curative therapies remain elusive as the mechanisms that underlie chronic inflammation in tendon disease remain unclear. Identifying and isolating key pathogenic and reparative cells is essential in developing precision therapies and implantable materials for improved tendon healing. Multiple discrete human tendon cell populations have been previously described ex vivo. To determine if these populations persist in vitro, healthy human hamstring tenocytes were cultured for 8 d on either tissue culture plastic or aligned electrospun fibres of absorbable polydioxanone. Novel single-cell surface proteomics combined with unbiased single-cell transcriptomics (CITE-Seq) was used to identify discrete tenocyte populations. 6 cell populations were found, 4 of which shared key gene expression determinants with ex vivo human cell clusters: PTX3_PAPPA, POSTN_SCX, DCN_LUM and ITGA7_NES. Surface proteomics found that PTX3_PAPPA cells were CD10+CD26+CD54+. ITGA7_NES cells were CD146+ and POSTN_SCX cells were CD90+CD95+CD10+. Culture on the aligned electrospun fibres favoured 3 cell subtypes (DCN_LUM, POSTN_SCX and PTX3_ PAPPA), promoting high expression of tendon-matrix-associated genes and upregulating gene sets enriched for TNF-a and IL-6/STAT3 signalling. Discrete human tendon cell subpopulations persisted in in vitro culture and could be recognised by specific gene and surface-protein signatures. Aligned polydioxanone fibres promoted the survival of 3 clusters, including pro-inflammatory PTX3-expressing CD10+CD26+CD54+ cells found in chronic tendon disease. These results improved the understanding of preferred culture conditions for different tenocyte subpopulations and informed the development of in vitro models of tendon disease.

Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is the most prevent valvular heart disease in the western world increasing exponentially with age, with an 112% increase in CAVS deaths in the last three decades; however no therapeutic treatment is currently available. Recently, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been demonstrated to be an independent and causal risk factor for CAVS, yet the understanding of its cellular uptake and catabolism is limited thus underscoring the need for further investigation.
This study aimed to determine a target receptor, unique for Lp(a) on the surface of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) and ascertain the role of the receptor on the development of VIC calcification.
Unbiased ligand-receptor capture mass spectrometry (TriCEPS) was used to identify target receptor, with western blotting, ELISA, qPCR, alizarin red calcium staining and immunofluorescence used to validate the targets in vitro via siRNA inhibition and overexpression. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine uptake of Lp(a) within excised human valves. Identification of small molecule inhibitors was assessed computationally via the L1000 dataset, with the top hit candidate validated in vitro. Genotype-phenotype studies were examined using the United Kingdom Biobank (UKBB) and the Millions Veterans Program. Linear regression was used to evaluate association between aortic stenosis and plasma Lp(a) levels, and a phenotype-wide association analysis was then performed against this generated ‘genotype’.
Ligand-receptor capture mass spectrometry was used to detect novel membrane proteins with specific binding to Lp(a); MFSD5, MRC2, LDLR were identified as possible candidates. MFSD5 RNAscope demonstrated its presence in human aortic valves. Lp(a) uptake in VICs was confirmed via western blot and TEM. MFSD5 siRNA significantly reduced dil-labelled Lp(a) uptake in human VICs (p=0.003) and HEPG2 cells (p=0.0003), conversely MFSD5 overexpression increased uptake (p=0.0345, p=0.0318), whilst specificity of MFSD5 to Lp(a) alone was shown via no change in LDL uptake following MFSD5 inhibition (p=0.616, p=0.991). MFSD5 inhibition reduced RUNX2 (p=0.0124) and Osteocalcin (p<0.001) RNA expression and reduced alizarin red staining following culture in Lp(a) osteogenic media for 21 days (p<0.0033). Druggability of MFSD5 was confirmed by the L1000 database, which identified aminopurvalanol as a binding partner for MFSD5 and significantly reduced Lp(a) uptake within VICs (p=0.0091). MFSD5-loss of function within the UKBB showed no significant cardiovascular association, however 50kb +/- of the MFSD5 gene showed nominal association with hyperlipidaemia and atrial fibrillation.
The current study demonstrates the novel Lp(a) receptor MFSD5 may be responsible for uptake of Lp(a) within VICs, resulting in the development of aortic valve calcification, highlighting the need for further exploration into the role of MFSD5 in aortic valve disease.

Abstract
Epidemiological modeling is used, under certain assumptions, to represent the spread of a disease within a population. Information generated by these models can then be applied to inform public health practices and mitigate risk. To provide useful and actionable preparedness information to administrators and policy makers, epidemiological models must be formulated to model highly localized environments such as office buildings, campuses, or long-term care facilities. In this paper, a highly configurable agent-based simulation (ABS) framework designed for localized environments is proposed. This ABS provides information about risk and the effects of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, as well as detailed control over the rapidly evolving epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19. Simulation results can inform decisions made by facility administrators and be used as inputs for a complementary decision support system. The application of our ABS to our research lab environment as a proof of concept demonstrates the configurability and insights achievable with this form of modeling, with future work focused on extensibility and integration with decision support.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Frailty has been linked to greater hospitalisation, morbidity, and mortality, and is being increasingly recognised as a possible factor affecting outcomes in trauma. A 2017 TARN report identified that further research was needed to determine the effect of frailty on outcomes in trauma patients. With fragility (low energy) fractures now make up a significant burden of trauma within UK hospitals, this retrospective cohort study investigated whether frailty has a significant effect on outcomes in patients presenting with fragility fractures.
Method
Notes from all patients aged >60 admitted to a large District General hospital over 1 year with any fragility fracture were reviewed. Age, injury, length of stay, and mortality were recorded. A Rockwood Clinical Frailty Score (CFS) was assigned retrospectively.
Results
886 patients were reviewed (male:female 266:620, mean age 82.75). CFS was independently associated with a significant increase in mortality, with every step up in CFS increasing 30-day and 1-year odds of death by 54.8% and 56.2% respectively (P < 0.001). Every step up in CFS independently increased percentage length of stay by 10.1%.
Conclusions
CFS independently predicts adverse outcome in hospitalised trauma patients with fragility fractures. CFS should be used routinely to identify patients at risk and may assist in allocating limited orthogeriatric resources and supporting national guidelines. Future research should investigate how resources impact outcomes for patients of varying CFS.

Abstract
Onchocerciasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by Onchocerca Diesing 1841 (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) nematodes transmitted by blackflies. It is associated with poverty and imposes a significant health, welfare and economic burden on many tropical countries. Current methods to visualize infections within the vectors rely on invasive methods. However, using micro-computed tomography techniques, without interference from physical tissue manipulation, we visualized in three dimensions for the first time an L1 larva of an Onchocerca species within the thoracic musculature of a blackfly, Simulium damnosum s.l. Theobald 1903 (Diptera: Simuliidae), naturally infected in Ghana. The possibility that thicker peritrophic membranes in savannah flies could account for their lower parasite loads was not supported, but there were limits to our analysis. While there were no statistically significant differences between the mean thicknesses of the peritrophic membranes, in the anterior, dorsal and ventral regions, of forest and savannah blackflies killed 34-48 min after a blood-meal, the thickness of the peritrophic membrane in the posterior region could not be measured. Micro-computed tomography has the potential to provide novel information on many other parasite/vector systems and impactful images for public engagement in health education.

Abstract
Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae), or spotted-wing drosophila, is an invasive pest first detected in the United States in 2008. Although D. suzukii can use many cultivated fruit as hosts, raspberries are considered 'most at risk' for infestation. Conventional broad-spectrum insecticides are proven effective D. suzukii controls and can be economically profitable when combined with integrated pest management (IPM) on large-scale commercial raspberry farms. It remains unclear, however, whether organic controls are cost-effective strategies, particularly for farms operating on a small-scale seasonal basis, as is common in the Upper Midwest. The purpose of this paper is to explore the efficacy of two organic D. suzukii controls-exclusion netting for high tunnels and organic insecticides for open plots using data available from different field trials-and to ascertain whether any economic benefits of the organic controls outweigh treatment costs for small-scale raspberry operations under different risk scenarios. The field trials suggest that the organic treatments are effective controls for D. suzukii infestation and economically profitable. The exclusion netting treatment produced positive net returns compared to the alternative of no treatment and economically outperformed the organic-certified insecticide treatment for several yield, price and infestation scenarios. As D. suzukii infestation rates increased, net returns improved for both organic treatments. The economic results were robust across a range of yields and prices, suggesting that in almost all scenarios small scale organic raspberry growers benefit economically from the application of exclusion netting on high tunnels and insecticides for open plots.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates are lower in Appalachian regions of the United States than in non-Appalachian regions. Given the availability of various screening modalities, there is critical need for culturally relevant interventions addressing multiple socioecological levels to reduce the regional CRC burden. In this report, we describe the development and baseline findings from year 1 of "Accelerating Colorectal Cancer Screening through Implementation Science (ACCSIS) in Appalachia," a 5-year, National Cancer Institute Cancer MoonshotSM-funded multilevel intervention (MLI) project to increase screening in Appalachian Kentucky and Ohio primary care clinics. METHODS Project development was theory-driven and included the establishment of both an external Scientific Advisory Board and a Community Advisory Board to provide guidance in conducting formative activities in two Appalachian counties: one in Kentucky and one in Ohio. Activities included identifying and describing the study communities and primary care clinics, selecting appropriate evidence-based interventions (EBIs), and conducting a pilot test of MLI strategies addressing patient, provider, clinic, and community needs. RESULTS Key informant interviews identified multiple barriers to CRC screening, including fear of screening, test results, and financial concerns (patient level); lack of time and competing priorities (provider level); lack of reminder or tracking systems and staff burden (clinic level); and cultural issues, societal norms, and transportation (community level). With this information, investigators then offered clinics a menu of EBIs and strategies to address barriers at each level. Clinics selected individually tailored MLIs, including improvement of patient education materials, provision of provider education (resulting in increased knowledge, p = .003), enhancement of electronic health record (EHR) systems and development of clinic screening protocols, and implementation of community CRC awareness events, all of which promoted stool-based screening (i.e., FIT or FIT-DNA). Variability among clinics, including differences in EHR systems, was the most salient barrier to EBI implementation, particularly in terms of tracking follow-up of positive screening results, whereas the development of clinic-wide screening protocols was found to promote fidelity to EBI components. CONCLUSIONS Lessons learned from year 1 included increased recognition of variability among the clinics and how they function, appreciation for clinic staff and provider workload, and development of strategies to utilize EHR systems. These findings necessitated a modification of study design for subsequent years. TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial NCT04427527 is registered at https://clinicaltrials.gov and was registered on June 11, 2020.

Abstract
Drug development suffers from a lack of predictive and human-relevant in vitro models. Organ-on-chip (OOC) technology provides advanced culture capabilities to generate physiologically appropriate, human-based tissue in vitro, therefore providing a route to a predictive in vitro model. However, OOC technologies are often created at the expense of throughput, industry-standard form factors, and compatibility with state-of-the-art data collection tools. Here we present an OOC platform with advanced culture capabilities supporting a variety of human tissue models including liver, vascular, gastrointestinal, and kidney. The platform has 96 devices per industry standard plate and compatibility with contemporary high-throughput data collection tools. Specifically, we demonstrate programmable flow control over two physiologically relevant flow regimes: perfusion flow that enhances hepatic tissue function and high-shear stress flow that aligns endothelial monolayers. In addition, we integrate electrical sensors, demonstrating quantification of barrier function of primary gut colon tissue in real-time. We utilize optical access to the tissues to directly quantify renal active transport and oxygen consumption via integrated oxygen sensors. Finally, we leverage the compatibility and throughput of the platform to screen all 96 devices using high content screening (HCS) and evaluate gene expression using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). By combining these capabilities in one platform, physiologically-relevant tissues can be generated and measured, accelerating optimization of an in vitro model, and ultimately increasing predictive accuracy of in vitro drug screening.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality is disproportionately higher in Appalachian counties of Kentucky than in non-Appalachian regions. Part of the mortality gap can be explained by lower screening rates in Appalachian counties. Researchers at Markey Cancer Center partnered with primary care clinics in eastern Kentucky to address this disparity by identifying strategies to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to improve CRC screening and follow-up in Appalachian Kentucky. Methods: Members of the research team conducted formative research activities to identify multilevel barriers to CRC screening. A menu of EBIs was then created to address these barriers, and clinic champions selected EBIs that were feasible in their respective practices. However, because of restrictions during COVID-19, clinics experienced multiple changes to workflow and operations, necessitating modifications to program activities. Over a series of virtual meetings, clinic champions selected adaptations that could allow clinics to continue promoting CRC screening in their practices despite COVID-related limitations. Results: Changes in clinic staffing and workflow resulting from COVID-19 included provider furloughs, a state-mandated pause in elective procedures, mandatory parking lot visits for many in-person visits, and an increase in telehealth. Among our clinic partners, total in-person visits were reduced by nearly half from first to second quarter of 2020, whereas telehealth visits were 23 times higher, though telehealth visits were cut in half by third quarter. To match these changing modes of practice, clinics adapted creative strategies for communicating CRC screening recommendations to patients, including shifting from paper to digital educational tools, promoting screening via telehealth visits, and prioritizing recommendations for stool-based tests over colonoscopy for average-risk patients. As a result, orders for FIT and FIT-DNA were 2 and 3 times higher, respectively, from second to third quarter of 2020. Conclusion: Rural primary care clinics in Appalachia continue to promote CRC screening despite the multiple challenges related to COVID-19. One relevant reference for clinicians is the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable’s playbook for reigniting CRC screening during COVID-19, a document that promotes stool-based screening for average-risk patients. While elective procedures remain backlogged in rural areas due to state regulations, research partners should emphasize the need to prioritize stool-based CRC screening for average-risk populations and reserve scheduling colonoscopies for high-risk individuals or those with abnormal stool-based test results. While our clinical partners had previously focused on a “colonoscopy first” approach to screening, our findings suggest that our clinic partners increased orders for stool-based CRC tests. Nevertheless, continued outreach is needed to ensure CRC screening rates remain optimal.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is lower in Appalachian regions of Kentucky and Ohio than in their non-Appalachian counterparts, with lower screening contributing to increased CRC incidence and mortality. To address CRC disparities in these underserved regions, researchers from the University of Kentucky and The Ohio State University partnered with two federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to develop and implement multilevel interventions (MLIs) during year one of a 5-year National Cancer Institute funded Cancer Moonshot project to increase CRC screening and follow-up in Appalachian Kentucky and Ohio. Methods: Drawing from the Model for the Analysis of Population Health and Health Disparities and using a social determinants of health framework, researchers selected and partnered with Community Advisory Boards (CAB) to guide project formation in two Appalachian counties, one in Kentucky and one in Ohio. These formative activities included creating community profiles, conducting key informant interviews with clinic and community champions, and completing data inventories to assess clinic capacity, ultimately resulting in two primary care clinics being selected for pilot year implementation activities. Results: Key informant interviews revealed barriers to CRC screening at multiple levels: patient (e.g., fear of screening results), provider (e.g., competing priorities), clinic (e.g., lack of reminder or tracking systems), and community (e.g., cultural norms). Clinic champions were provided with menus of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to address barriers at each level and were encouraged to select locally relevant, implementable EBIs. Clinics chose to implement the following EBIs: improved patient education materials (patient-level), additional provider education (provider-level), improvement of electronic health record (EHR) reporting and creation of clinic-wide screening protocols (clinic-level), and provision of interactive screening education at community events (community- level). Conclusion: Results from pilot year activities were used to refine the project approach for years two through five. Project activities will be expanded to 10 more Appalachian counties in Kentucky and Ohio using a design wherein counties will be paired by participating clinic patient volume. As in pilot year activities, clinic/community champions will be encouraged to select EBIs appropriate to their patients, providers, clinics, and communities. To measure clinical outcomes, self- reported screening will be monitored using data from county-wide telephone surveys with additional data from clinic EHRs. Using an MLI approach may be well- received in underserved rural Appalachian communities and may ultimately be successful at reducing CRC screening disparities.

Abstract
Aim To argue that nurse practitioners have been under‐utilized generally in the current global health environment, creating barriers to achieving universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals. Background Nurse practitioners are advanced practice nurses possessing expert knowledge and leadership skills that can be optimized to narrow disparities and ensure access to high‐quality health care globally. Nurses worldwide have been challenged to meet global public health needs in the context of COVID‐19 (SARS‐CoV‐2 virus), and there are early indications that nurse practitioners are being called upon to the full extent of their capabilities in the current pandemic. Sources of evidence PubMed; Google Scholar; the International Council of Nurses; World Health Organization; United Nations; and the experiences of the authors. Discussion Several international reports, nursing and health organizations have called for continued investment in and development of nursing to improve mechanisms that promote cost‐effective and universally accessible care. Expanding nurse practitioner scopes of practice across nations will leverage their clinical capacities, policy and advocacy skills, and talents to lead at all levels. Conclusion Ongoing empirical data and policy change is needed to enable the full scope and strategic utilization of nurse practitioners across healthcare systems and contexts. Implications for nursing practice, and nursing and health policy Widespread education regarding nurse practitioner capacities for interdisciplinary partners, policymakers and the public is needed. Policies that safely expand their roles are critical. Role titles and remuneration reflective of their scope and service are required to lead, sustain and grow the workforce internationally.

Abstract
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is a debilitating condition affecting between 7% and 10% of bereaved individuals. Past imaging and psychological studies have proposed links between PGD's characteristic symptoms - in particular, profound yearning - and the neural reward system. We conducted a systematic review to investigate this connection. On December 19, 2019, we searched six bibliographic databases for data on the neurobiology of grief and disordered grief. We excluded studies of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, animal studies, and reviews. After abstract and full-text screening, twenty-four studies were included in the final review. We found diverse evidence for the activation of several reward-related regions of the brain in PGD. The data reviewed suggest that compared to normative grief, PGD involves a differential pattern of activity in the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC); likely differential activity in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), rostral or subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and basal ganglia overall, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc); and possible differential activity in the insula. It also appears that oxytocin signaling is altered in PGD, though the exact mechanism is unclear. Our findings appear to be consistent with, though not confirmative of, conceptualizing PGD as a disorder of reward, and identify directions for future research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bilateral giant parathyroid adenoma in the absence of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 is extremely rare and literature on this subject is limited. CASE HISTORY A 79-year-old man presented with acute kidney injury secondary to hypercalcaemia. Blood test results indicated primary hyperparathyroidism. Ultrasonography revealed bilateral parathyroid adenomas measuring 19.4mm x 19.5mm x 18.8mm (left) and 15.2mm x 18.3mm x 19.6mm (left) whereas on computed tomography, the measurements were 31mm x 20mm (left) and 30mm x 14mm (right). Intraoperatively, giant adenomas measuring 50mm x 25mm x 12mm (left, weighing 8.101g) and 48mm x 22mm x 10mm (right, weighing 7.339g) were identified and excised. Parathyroid hormone level dropped from 44.6pmol/l preoperatively to 8.9pmol/l postoperatively (normal range 1.3-7.6pmol/l). The patient was discharged with no complications. CONCLUSIONS We report a rare phenomenon where bilateral giant parathyroid adenoma occurred in the absence of MEN type 1. It highlights the importance of cross-sectional imaging in delineating the anatomy of adenomas as their size can be grossly underestimated by ultrasonography alone.

Abstract
We show that hybrid MnOx/C60 heterojunctions can be used to design a storage device for spin-polarized charge: a spin capacitor. Hybridization at the carbon-metal oxide interface leads to spin-polarized charge trapping after an applied voltage or photocurrent. Strong electronic structure changes, including a 1-eV energy shift and spin polarization in the C60 lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, are then revealed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy, in agreement with density functional theory simulations. Muon spin spectroscopy measurements give further independent evidence of local spin ordering and magnetic moments optically/electronically stored at the heterojunctions. These spin-polarized states dissipate when shorting the electrodes. The spin storage decay time is controlled by magnetic ordering at the interface, leading to coherence times of seconds to hours even at room temperature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a known consequence of pancreatic resection; however, its incidence following distal pancreatectomy is not well defined. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of EPI in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy and moreover identify risk factors for developing de-novo EPI after distal pancreatectomy. METHODS A prospectively maintained institutional pancreatic resection database was interrogated to identify patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy from 2005 to 2015. Pre- and post-operative exocrine function, histopathology, demographics and volume of pancreas resected were analyzed. RESULTS The cohort consisted of 324 patients, 22 (6.8%) presented with EPI pre-operatively. 38 (12.6%) patients developed new onset EPI requiring pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. There was no relationship between patient demographics or diabetes status and requirement for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, and no significant effect of resection volume on the need for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy post-operatively (p ≥ 0.05). Having an underlying obstructive pancreatic pathology (p = 0.002) or a presenting history of acute pancreatitis (p < 0.001) significantly predicted development of de-novo EPI. CONCLUSION These results indicate that pre-existing EPI at time of surgery is not uncommon. Patients presenting for distal pancreatectomy should be assessed pre-operatively for the need for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy.

Abstract
Unhealthy substance use is associated with increased rates of STDs, including HIV. Within three high-risk New York City (NYC) sexual health clinics between 2008 and 2012 (n = 146,657), 17% of patients screened positive for a current SUD but only 5.3% ever received prior treatment. The goal of Project Renew was to expand the reach of substance use early intervention services within and across sexual health clinics citywide and decrease substance use, poor mental health, and risky sexual behavior. To accomplish this goal, Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), an evidence-based substance use early intervention model, was implemented in all eight NYC sexual health clinics February 2012-January 2015. Clinic patients were screened for substance misuse using the AUDIT/DAST-10, and those who screened positive were eligible for on-site brief intervention. Overall, 130,597 substance misuse screenings were conducted (66,989, or 51%, positive), and 17,474 on-site brief interventions and 1238 referrals were provided (not unique to individual patients). A 10% sample of 14,709 unique patients who screened positive were interviewed using a federal data collection tool at baseline and six months later to assess changes in substance use, sexual risk behaviors, mental health, and health status (n = 1328). At six-month follow-up, patients reported reduced substance use, less sexual activity, improved overall health, and fewer days of depression and anxiety compared to measures at baseline (p < 0.05). Based on positive results, Project Renew SBIRT services have been sustained, ensuring essential care which may help prevent acquisition of HIV/STDs among a large population of high-risk New Yorkers.

Abstract
X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the second most common cause of CMT, and is usually caused by mutations in the gap junction protein beta 1 (GJB1) gene. This gene has nerve specific P2 promoter that work synergistically with SOX10 and EGR2 genes to initiate transcription. Mutation in this region is known to cause Schwann cell dysfunction. A single large family of X linked peripheral neuropathy was identified in our practice. Next generation sequencing for targeted panel assay identified an upstream exon-splicing deletion identified extending from nucleotide c.-5413 to approximately - c.-49. This matches the sequence of 32 nucleotides at positions c.*218-*249 in the 3'UTR downstream of the GJB1 gene. The deleted fragment included the entire P2 promoter region. The deletion segregated with the disease. To our knowledge a deletion of the P2 promoter alone as a cause of CMT has not been reported previously.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR fingerprinting allows rapid simultaneous quantification of T1 and T2 relaxation times. This study assessed the utility of MR fingerprinting in differentiating common types of adult intra-axial brain tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR fingerprinting acquisition was performed in 31 patients with untreated intra-axial brain tumors: 17 glioblastomas, 6 World Health Organization grade II lower grade gliomas, and 8 metastases. T1, T2 of the solid tumor, immediate peritumoral white matter, and contralateral white matter were summarized within each ROI. Statistical comparisons on mean, SD, skewness, and kurtosis were performed by using the univariate Wilcoxon rank sum test across various tumor types. Bonferroni correction was used to correct for multiple-comparison testing. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed for discrimination between glioblastomas and metastases, and area under the receiver operator curve was calculated. RESULTS Mean T2 values could differentiate solid tumor regions of lower grade gliomas from metastases (mean, 172 ± 53 ms, and 105 ± 27 ms, respectively; P = .004, significant after Bonferroni correction). The mean T1 of peritumoral white matter surrounding lower grade gliomas differed from peritumoral white matter around glioblastomas (mean, 1066 ± 218 ms, and 1578 ± 331 ms, respectively; P = .004, significant after Bonferroni correction). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the mean T2 of solid tumor offered the best separation between glioblastomas and metastases with an area under the curve of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.69-1.00; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS MR fingerprinting allows rapid simultaneous T1 and T2 measurement in brain tumors and surrounding tissues. MR fingerprinting-based relaxometry can identify quantitative differences between solid tumor regions of lower grade gliomas and metastases and between peritumoral regions of glioblastomas and lower grade gliomas.

Abstract
Adverse events, or accidents, in healthcare can have significant clinical outcomes including loss of property, health (morbidity), and life (mortality). Healthcare accidents have features that make post-event investigations particularly difficult. The investigation and analysis of medical accidents is intended to discover information that explains the nature and cause of what occurred in the interest of preventing or minimizing future loss. The thorough, objective investigation of medical adverse events rarely happens due to the complexity of the environment, litigation, risk, and socio-political implications. Special concerns can undermine investigation depth, breadth, and quality. Healthcare's distinct difference from other high hazard sectors such as aviation and nuclear power requires a unique approach. Healthcare accident examination requires detailed domain knowledge and the use of diverse investigation methods. This paper describes the current state of medical accident analysis, obstacles to understanding such accidents and strategies to overcome them, as well as future investigation and analysis approaches.

Abstract
This study presents performance specifications of an in-house developed human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing assay using next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina MiSeq platform. A total of 253 samples, previously characterized for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 were included in this study, which were typed at high-resolution using a combination of Sanger sequencing, sequence-specific primer (SSP) and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) technologies and recorded at the two-field level. Samples were selected with alleles that cover a high percentage of HLA specificities in each of five different race/ethnic groups: European, African-American, Asian Pacific Islander, Hispanic and Native American. Sequencing data were analyzed by two software programs, Omixon's target and GenDx's NGSengine. A number of metrics including allele balance, sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy and remaining ambiguity were assessed. Data analyzed by the two software systems are shown independently. The majority of alleles were identical in the exonic sequences (third field) with both programs for HLA-A, -B, -C and -DQB1 in 97.7% of allele determinations. Among the remaining discrepant genotype calls at least one of the analysis programs agreed with the reference typing. Upon additional manual analysis 100% of the 2530 alleles were concordant with the reference HLA genotypes; the remaining ambiguities did not exceed 0.8%. The results demonstrate the feasibility and significant benefit of HLA typing by NGS as this technology is highly accurate, eliminates virtually all ambiguities, provides complete sequencing information for the length of the HLA gene and forms the basis for utilizing a single methodology for HLA typing in the immunogenetics labs.

Abstract
Interesterification was previously found to impact stearic acid absorption in a randomized cross-over study, when human volunteers consumed a 70 : 30 wt% high-oleic sunflower and canola stearin blend (NIE) compared to the same blend which had undergone either chemical (CIE) or enzymatic (EIE) interesterification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) measures luminal cross-sectional area and pressure during volumetric distension. By applying novel customized software to produce FLIP topography plots, organized esophageal contractility can be visualized and analyzed. We aimed to describe the stimulus thresholds and contractile characteristics for distension-induced esophageal body contractility using FLIP topography in normal controls. METHODS Ten healthy controls were evaluated during endoscopy with FLIP. During stepwise bag distension, simultaneous intra-bag pressure and luminal diameter measurements were obtained and exported to a MatLab program to generate FLIP topography plots. The distension volume, intra-bag pressure, and maximum esophageal body diameters were measured for the onset and cessation of repetitive antegrade contractions (RACs). Contraction duration, interval, magnitude, and velocity were measured at 8 and 3-cm proximal to the esophagogastric junction. KEY RESULTS Eight of ten subjects demonstrated RACs at a median onset volume of 29 mL (IQR: 25-38.8), median intra-bag pressure of 10.7 mmHg (IQR: 8.6-15.9), and median maximum esophageal body diameter of 18.5 mm (IQR: 17.5-19.6). Cessation of RACs occurred prior to completion of the distension protocol in three of the eight subjects exhibiting RACs. Values of the RAC-associated contractile metrics were also generated to characterize these events. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Distension-induced esophageal contractions can be assessed utilizing FLIP topography. RACs are a common finding in asymptomatic controls in response to volume distention and have similar characteristics to secondary peristalsis and repetitive rapid swallows.
