Abstract
The infant non-secretor histoblood group antigen phenotype is associated with reduced risk of symptomatic rotavirus diarrhea, one of the leading global causes of severe pediatric diarrheal disease and mortality. However, little is known regarding the role of secretor status in asymptomatic rotavirus infections. Therefore, we performed a nested case-control study within a birth cohort study previously conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to determine the association between infant secretor phenotype and the odds of asymptomatic rotavirus infection, in addition to the risk of rotavirus diarrhea, in unvaccinated infants. In the parent cohort, infants were enrolled in the first week of life and followed through the first two years of life with multiple clinic visits and active surveillance for diarrheal illness. Secretor phenotyping was performed on saliva. Eleven surveillance stools collected over the first year of life were tested for rotavirus by real-time RT-PCR, followed by conventional PCR and amplicon sequencing to identify the infecting P-type of positive specimens. Similar to findings for symptomatic diarrhea, infant non-secretors experienced significantly fewer primary episodes of asymptomatic rotavirus infection through the first year of life in a likely rotavirus P-genotype-dependent manner. These data suggest that non-secretors experienced reduced risk from rotavirus due to decreased susceptibility to infection rather than reduced infection severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a well documented relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and the development of brain injury, which can lead to cognitive dysfunction. Hypertension (HTN) is a condition increasing the risk of silent and symptomatic ischemic brain lesions. Although benefits of hypertension treatment are indisputable, the target blood pressure value where the possibility of tissue damage is most reduced remains under debate. METHOD Our group performed a cross-sectional ( n = 376) and longitudinal ( n = 188) study of individuals without dementia or stroke (60% women n = 228, age 68.5 ± 7.4 years; men n = 148, age 70.7 ± 6.9 years). Participants were split into hypertensive ( n = 169) and normotensive ( n = 207) groups. MR images were obtained on a 3T system. Linear modeling was performed in hypertensive and normotensive cohorts to investigate the relationship between systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, white matter lesion (WML), and brain volumes. RESULTS Participants in the hypertensive cohort showed a quadratic relationship between SBP and WML, with the lowest amounts of WML being measured in participants with readings at approximately 124 mmHg. Additionally, the hypertensive cohort also exhibited a quadratic relationship between DBP and mean hippocampal volume; participants with readings at approximately 77 mmHg showing the largest volumes. Longitudinally, all groups experienced WML growth, despite different BP trajectories, further suggesting that WML expansion may occur despite or because of BP reduction in individuals with compromised vascular system. CONCLUSION Overall, our study suggests that in the hypertensive group there is a valley of mid-range blood pressures displaying less pathology in the brain.

Abstract
Background and objectives Obesity is a risk factor for cognitive decline. Probable mechanisms involve inflammation and cerebrovascular dysfunction, leading to diminished cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR). The hippocampus, crucially involved in memory processing and thus relevant to many types of dementia, poses a challenge in studies of perfusion and CVR, due to its location, small size, and complex shape. We examined the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and hippocampal resting CBF and CVR to carbon dioxide (CVRCO2) in a group of cognitively normal middle-aged and older adults. Methods Our study was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Subjects were enrolled for studies assessing the role of hippocampal hemodynamics as a biomarker for AD among cognitively healthy elderly individuals (age > 50). Participants without cognitive impairment, stroke, and active substance abuse were recruited between January 2008 and November 2017 at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, former Center for Brain Health. All subjects underwent medical, psychiatric, and neurological assessments, blood tests, and MRI examinations. To estimate CVR, we increased their carbon dioxide levels using a rebreathing protocol. Relationships between BMI and brain measures were tested using linear regression. Results Our group (n = 331) consisted of 60.4% women (age 68.8 ± 7.5 years; education 16.8 ± 2.2 years) and 39.6% men (age 70.4 ± 6.4 years; education 16.9 ± 2.4 years). Approximately 22% of them (n = 73) were obese. BMI was inversely associated with CVRCO2 (β = -0.12, unstandardized B = -0.06, 95% CI -0.11, -0.004). A similar relationship was observed after excluding subjects with diabetes and insulin resistance (β = -0.15, unstandardized B = -0.08, 95% CI -0.16, -0.000). In the entire group, BMI was more strongly related to hippocampal CVRCO2 in women (β = -0.20, unstandardized B = -0.08, 95% CI -0.13, -0.02). Discussion These findings lend support to the notion that obesity is a risk factor for hippocampal hemodynamic impairment and suggest targeting obesity as an important prevention strategy. Prospective studies assessing the effects of weight loss on brain hemodynamic measures and inflammation are warranted.

Abstract
In rodents, hypothalamic inflammation plays a critical role in aging and age-related diseases. Hypothalamic inflammation has not previously been assessed in vivo in humans. We used Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with a radiotracer sensitive to the translocator protein (TSPO) expressed by activated microglia, to assess correlations between age and regional brain TSPO in a group of healthy subjects (n = 43, 19 female, aged 23-78), focusing on hypothalamus. We found robust age-correlated TSPO expression in thalamus but not hypothalamus in the combined group of women and men. This pattern differs from what has been described in rodents. Prominent age-correlated TSPO expression in thalamus in humans, but in hypothalamus in rodents, could reflect evolutionary changes in size and function of thalamus versus hypothalamus, and may be relevant to the appropriateness of using rodents to model human aging. When examining TSPO PET results in women and men separately, we found that only women showed age-correlated hypothalamic TSPO expression. We suggest this novel result is relevant to understanding a stark sex difference in human aging: that only women undergo loss of fertility-menopause-at mid-life. Our finding of age-correlated hypothalamic inflammation in women could have implications for understanding and perhaps altering reproductive aging in women.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, collectively termed psoriatic disease (PsD), have an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease.ObjectivesWe aimed to identify traditional CV risk factors and PsD-related risk factors associated with CV events.MethodsPatients from a longitudinal PsD cohort without a prior history of CV events were included. Detailed information on demographics, comorbidities including traditional cardiovascular risk factors, medications and disease activity is collected according to a standard protocol. The study outcome included any of the following CV events occurring within the first 10 years of patients’ initial clinic visit: angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, revascularization procedures and CV death. A total of 10 traditional CV risk factors and 15 PsD-related risk factors were assessed. The association of each risk factor with incident CVEs were analyzed separately using Cox proportional hazards regression models with time-dependent covariates, adjusted for age and sex.ResultsA total of 1,376 patients with PsD, followed between 1978 and 2020, were analyzed (mean age 48.3 ± 12.9 years, 46.8% female). During the follow-up period, 102 (7.4%) patients developed incident CV events. In Cox regression models adjusted for age and sex, age (Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.08, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.06, 1.10), diabetes (HR 1.88, 95% CI 1.17, 3.02), systolic blood pressure (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01, 1.03), body mass index (BMI) (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01, 1.08), triglycerides (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.07, 1.43), treatment for hypertension (HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.13, 2.56), and use of lipid-lowering medications (HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.13, 2.56) were among the traditional CV risk factors associated with increased CV risk. Among the PsD-related risk factors, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02, 1.08), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01, 1.02), number of tender joints (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01, 1.05), number of swollen joints (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01, 1.12), health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) score (HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.23, 2.17), and daily use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.16, 2.55) were associated with increased CV risk. Use of biologic medications (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.40, 1.00) was not found to be significantly protective against CV events.ConclusionIn patients with PsD, we identified six PsD-related risk factors that were significantly associated with incident CV events. These risk factors may be useful for the development of a PsD-specific CV risk prediction score that uses routine clinical assessments in combination with PsD-related biomarkers.References[1]Eder L, Wu Y, Chandran V, et al.

Abstract
Introduction:
The risk of degenerative disease development is closely linked to persistent and continuous systemic inflammation. Although relationships between chronic low-grade inflammation (LGI) measurements and the progression of cardiovascular diseases are becoming established, the burden of the cardio-pathology and LGI on the central nervous system has not been fully investigated. Specifically, there is limited data on how hypertension (HTN) and related LGI impact white matter lesion (WML) pathogenesis.
Methods:
We examined 448 subjects with a mean age of 69.3 ± 7.4 years, with 62% of the cohort being women (n=276), and 45% having hypertension (n=200). Components of the LGI score included white blood cell count, albumin levels, platelet counts, and granulocyte/lymphocyte ratio, modified after. Larger LGI scores represented an increase in measured LGI intensity at that time point. MR images were obtained on a 3T system using fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence. WML burden was ascertained using Fazekas scale, done separately for both deep WML and periventricular WML. Summated score of greater than or equal to 4 was considered high overall WML burden.
Results:
It was found that subjects with hypertension had significantly higher LGI score when compared to subjects without hypertension after accounting for sex and BMI (F=4.8, p=0.03). Using logistic regression. we found that LGI score was related to higher WML burden (p=0.047) within the entire cohort. However, further analyses have shown that this finding was driven by the normotensive group, in which the relationship between higher WML burden and respective LGI score was significant (p=0.007). This was not the case among hypertensive subjects.
Conclusion:
It is clear from the data presented that a relationship between LGI and hypertension exists, confirming that inflammation is an underlying process in cardiovascular pathogenesis. However, LGI scores were related to WML in only normotensive cohorts. We offer that the effects of chronic HTN (related to higher inflammatory score itself ) overshadow the effect of LGI among hypertensive subjects. It is worth emphasizing that even in subjects without HTN white matter damage is related to LGI

Abstract
Background:N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and troponin I (TnI) are established cardiac biomarkers that predict cardiovascular events (CVEs) in the general population. While patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, collectively termed psoriatic disease (PsD), have an increased risk of developing CVEs, the use of these cardiac biomarkers to predict CV risk has not been investigated in this population.Objectives:We aimed to evaluate the association between these cardiac biomarkers and incident CVEs, and assess their predictive value beyond the Framingham Risk Score (FRS).Methods:A longitudinal cohort study was conducted in patients with PsD without prior history of CVEs. NT-proBNP and TnI concentrations were measured using automated clinical assays in the first available serum sample. The study outcome included any of the following CVEs occurring within the first 10 years of biomarker assessment: angina, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, stroke, revascularization and CV death. Associations with incident CVEs were analyzed separately for each biomarker using Cox proportional hazards regression models first adjusted for age and sex, and subsequently for the FRS. The added value of cardiac biomarkers to improve predictive performance beyond the FRS was assessed using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), net reclassification index (NRI) and integrated discrimination index (IDI).Results:A total of 1000 patients with PsD were assessed between 2002 and 2019 (mean age 49 ± 12.8 years, 44.6% female) (Table 1). During a mean follow-up of 7.1 years, 64 patients developed incident CVEs. Both TnI (Hazard Ratio (HR) 3.02, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.12, 8.16) and NT-proBNP (HR 2.02; 95% CI 1.28, 3.18) predicted CVEs independently of the FRS (Figure 1). The association was stronger in males than females. Including all cardiac biomarkers and the FRS in a single model, NT-proBNP retained statistical significance (HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.23, 2.97), while TnI did not (HR 2.60, 95% CI 0.98, 6.87). When comparing the predictive performance of the base model (FRS alone, AUC 75.4) to the expanded models, there was no significant improvement in any of the predictive indices with the addition of TnI (AUC 73.5, p = 0.21; NRI 0.08, p = 0.67; IDI 0.005, p = 0.37), NT-proBNP (AUC 71.0, p = 0.35; NRI 0.20, p = 0.06; IDI 0.017, p = 0.10), or both TnI and NT-proBNP (AUC 70.0, p = 0.23; NRI 0.27, p = 0.05; IDI 0.021, p =0.05).Conclusion:In patients with PsD, elevated NT-proBNP and TnI predict incident CVEs independent of the FRS. We did not observe a significant improvement in the performance of the predictive model when combining these cardiac biomarkers with the FRS.References:[1]Eder L, Wu Y, Chandran V, et al.

Abstract
Background:Psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, collectively termed psoriatic disease (PsD), are associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Metabolites comprise biomarkers that may add predictive value over traditional CV risk factors.Objectives:We aimed to identify metabolites associated with CV events (CVEs) and to determine whether they could improve CV risk prediction beyond traditional CV risk factors.Methods:Patients from a longitudinal PsD cohort without a prior history of CVEs were included. In the first available serum sample, a targeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics platform was used to quantify 64 metabolite measures comprised of lipoprotein subclasses, fatty acids, glycolysis precursors, ketone bodies and amino acids. The study outcome included any of the following CVEs occurring within the first 10 years of biomarker assessment: angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, revascularization procedures and CV death. The association of each metabolite with incident CVEs were analyzed separately using Cox proportional hazards regression models first adjusted for age and sex, and subsequently for traditional CV risk factors. Variable selection was performed using penalization with boosting after adjusting for age and sex. The added predictive value of the selected metabolites to improve risk prediction beyond traditional CV risk factors was assessed using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC).Results:A total of 977 patients with PsD, followed between 2002 and 2019, were analyzed (mean age 49.1 ± 12.6 years, 45.1% female). During a mean follow-up of 7.1 years, 70 (7.2%) patients developed incident CVEs. In Cox regression models adjusted for CV risk factors, alanine, tyrosine, total high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, medium and large HDL particles, and the degree of unsaturation of fatty acids were significantly associated with decreased CV risk. Glycoprotein acetyls, apolipoprotein B, remnant cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, and very small VLDL particles were associated with an increased CV risk. In proportional sub-distribution hazards regression models adjusted for age and sex, 13 metabolites were selected (Table 1). The age- and sex-adjusted expanded model (base model + 13 metabolites) significantly improved prediction of CVEs beyond the base model (only age and sex) with an AUC of 79.9 vs. 72.6, respectively (p=0.019) (Figure 1).Table 1.Regression coefficients of the selected metabolites in a model adjusted for age and sex.CategoryMetaboliteModel adjusted for Age and SexAmino AcidsAlanine-0.1179Glycine-0.0339Tyrosine-0.1010Fatty acid ratios, relative to total fatty acidsDocosahexaenoic acid-0.0862Unsaturation degree, double bonds per fatty acid-0.1265Fluid BalanceAlbumin+0.0685GlyceridesTriglycerides in IDL cholesterol+0.1546Glycolysis precursorsGlucose+0.1391InflammationGlycoprotein acetyls+0.1478Ketone bodiesAcetoacetate+0.0464Lipoprotein subclassesHDL3 Cholesterol-0.0211Medium HDL-0.0296Large HDL-0.0309Figure 1.Predictive performance of a model with age and sex alone is compared to a model with age and sex plus selected metabolites.Conclusion:Using NMR metabolomics profiling, we identified a variety of metabolites associated with a lower and higher risk of developing CVEs in patients with PsD. Further study of their underlying association with CVEs is needed to clarify the clinical utility of these biomarkers to guide CV risk assessment in this population.References:[1]Eder L, Wu Y, Chandran V, et al.

Abstract
Background:Cardio-metabolic abnormalities are common in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) but tend to be under-recognized and under-treated.Objectives:We aimed to compare the prevalence and risk factors for cardio-metabolic abnormalities between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods:Consecutive patients enrolled in the University of Toronto Cardio-Rheumatology Network from July 2017 to August 2019 were analyzed. This is a primary prevention program that uses structured clinical, laboratory and multimodal imaging to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease (CVD). Patients with a rheumatologist-confirmed diagnosis of RA, PsA or AS with no known CVD were evaluated. Information about IA diagnosis, medications and comorbidities was recorded. Each patient was evaluated by a cardiologist focusing on CVD risk assessment. We evaluated the prevalence of previously recorded and newly recognized cardio-metabolic risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity and diabetes. The prevalence of these abnormalities was compared between IA diagnoses. Regression models were used to assess the association between diagnosis and cardio-metabolic abnormalities after adjusting for demographics, smoking, BMI, measures of disease activity and medications.Results:A total of 358 patients (201 RA, 124 PsA, 33 AS) were assessed (mean age 59±10.5 years, 68.7% female). Hypertension was reported in 33%, dyslipidemia in 26.8%, diabetes mellitus in 8.9% and overweight/obesity in 69.7% (Figure 1). Newly detected elevations in lipids were frequent for triglycerides (9.3%,), non-HDL-cholesterol (6%,) and LDL-cholesterol (2.7%). Elevated HbA1c occurred in 1.4% and newly diagnosed hypertension occurred in 9.8%. A total of 32.8% patients required a change or initiation of medications for their cardio-metabolic abnormalities (21.7% lipid-lowering therapy, 14.6% aspirin, 11.1% anti-hypertension therapy). Patients with PsA had the highest prevalence of cardio-metabolic abnormalities including dyslipidemia, obesity and hypertension. Having hypertension (prior or new diagnosis), elevated levels of triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and BMI were associated with PsA vs. RA after adjusting for potential confounders (all p<0.05) (Figure 2). No significant association was found between cardio-metabolic abnormalities and AS vs. PsA or RA.Conclusion:Dedicated cardio-rheumatology clinics have improved CVD screening and management in an IA population. The burden of cardio-metabolic abnormalities is elevated in PsA and suggests that tailored strategies to reduce adverse CVD events are particularly needed in this subgroup.Disclosure of Interests:Lihi Eder Grant/research support from: Abbvie, Lily, Janssen, Amgen, Novartis, Consultant of: Janssen, Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Lily, Janssen, Amgen, Novartis, Shadi Akhtari: None declared, Paula Harvey: None declared, Kuriya Bindee Grant/research support from: Abbvie, Pfizer, Sanofi, BMS, Consultant of: Abbvie, Eli Lily, Pfizer

Abstract
Depression affects a large proportion of patients with epilepsy, and is likely due in part to biological mechanism. Hormonal dysregulation due to the disruptive effects of seizures and interictal epileptiform discharges on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis likely contributes to high rates of depression in epilepsy. This paper reviews the largely unexplored role of neuroendocrine factors in epilepsy-related depression, focusing on Growth Hormone (GH). While GH deficiency is traditionally considered a childhood disorder manifested by impaired skeletal growth, GH deficiency in adulthood is now recognized as a serious disorder characterized by impairments in multiple domains including mood and quality of life. Could high rates of depression in patients with epilepsy relate to subtle GH deficiency? Because GH replacement therapy has been shown to improve mood and quality of life in patients with GH deficiency, this emerging area may hold promise for patients suffering from epilepsy-related depression.

Abstract
Although there is an increasing agreement that hypertension is associated with cerebrovascular compromise, relationships between blood pressure (BP) and cerebral blood flow are not fully understood. It is not known what BP level, and consequently what therapeutic goal, is optimal for brain perfusion. Moreover, there is limited data on how BP affects hippocampal perfusion, a structure critically involved in memory. We conducted a cross-sectional (n=445) and longitudinal (n=185) study of adults and elderly without dementia or clinically apparent stroke, who underwent clinical examination and brain perfusion assessment (age 69.2±7.5 years, 62% women, 45% hypertensive). Linear models were used to test baseline BP-blood flow relationship and to examine how changes in BP influence changes in perfusion. In the entire group, systolic BP (SBP) was negatively related to cortical (β=-0.13, P=0.005) and hippocampal blood flow (β=-0.12, P=0.01). Notably, this negative relationship was apparent already in subjects without hypertension. Hypertensive subjects showed a quadratic relationship between SBP and hippocampal blood flow (β=-1.55, P=0.03): Perfusion was the highest in subjects with mid-range SBP around 125 mm Hg. Longitudinally, in hypertensive subjects perfusion increased with increased SBP at low baseline SBP but increased with decreased SBP at high baseline SBP. Cortical and hippocampal perfusion decrease with increasing SBP across the entire BP spectrum. However, in hypertension, there seems to be a window of mid-range SBP which maximizes perfusion.

Abstract
Background Severe brady-arrhythmias, requiring a permanent pacemaker (PPM), have been sparsely reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of such arrhythmias in a defined lupus cohort. Patients and methods The database of the Toronto Lupus Clinic ( n = 1366) was searched for patients who received a PPM. Demographic, clinical, immunological and therapeutic variables along with electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic findings (based on the last available test prior to PPM) were analyzed. Patients with a PPM (cases) were compared with age-, sex- and disease duration-matched patients without a PPM (controls). Analysis was performed with SAS 9.0; p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results Eighteen patients were identified, 13 (0.95%) with complete atrioventricular block and 5 (0.37%) with sick sinus syndrome. Disease duration at PPM implantation was 22 ± 12 years. Compared to controls, cases had more frequently coronary artery disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia and longer antimalarial (AM) treatment duration. The prevalence of first-degree atrioventricular block, right bundle branch block, left anterior fascicular block and septal hypertrophy was also higher. AM treatment was significantly associated with brady-arrhythmias (OR = 1.128, 95% CI = 1.003–1.267, p = 0.044). Nine patients had prior heart disease and one received a PPM two years after renal transplantation. Eight patients did not have any potential risk factors; prolonged AM therapy (mean 22 years) might have been the cause. Conclusions Apart from known causes, prolonged AM treatment may be associated with severe brady-arrhythmias in SLE. Certain ECG and echocardiographic characteristics may represent indicators of an ongoing damage in the conduction system.

Abstract
We present a technique for treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with cryotherapy under general anesthesia, administered and monitored by a neonatologist, with endotracheal intubation in the neonatal intensive care unit that avoids the serious systemic complications associated with the administration of local anesthetics. Although no significant complications arose in this series, having the intubated infant monitored by trained neonatology staff allows appropriate management should complications arise. We have used this technique to treat 20 eyes with threshold ROP. The mean time to extubation was 40.2 hours. The systemic status and discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit were not influenced by the general anesthesia. This technique allows quick and accurate application of the cryotherapy in a stable and controlled setting. We recommend that physicians consider cryotherapy under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation for infants with ROP. This technique allows ROP to be treated adequately with minimal risk to the infant.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known to be associated with loss of cholinergic neurons in the nucleus basalis of Meynert, located in the posterior basal forebrain. Structural changes of septal nuclei, located in the anterior basal forebrain, have not been well studied in AD. Using a validated algorithm, we manually traced septal nuclei on high-resolution coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 40 subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD, 89 healthy controls, and 18 subjects who were cognitively normal at the time of MRI but went on to develop AD an average of 2.8 years later. We found that cognitively normal subjects destined to develop AD in the future had enlarged septal nuclei as compared to both healthy controls and patients with current MCI or AD. To our knowledge, this is the first time a brain structure has been found to be enlarged in association with risk of AD. Further research is needed to determine if septal enlargement reflects neuroplastic compensation, amyloid deposition, inflammation, or another process and to determine whether it can serve as an early MRI biomarker of AD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of disordered gambling worldwide has been estimated at 2.3%. Only a small minority of disordered gamblers seek specialist face-to-face treatment, and so a need for alternative treatment delivery models that capitalise on advances in communication technology, and use self-directed activity that can complement existing services has been identified. As such, the primary aim of this study is to evaluate an online self-directed cognitive-behavioural programme for disordered gambling (GamblingLess: For Life). METHODS AND ANALYSIS The study will be a 2-arm, parallel group, pragmatic randomised trial. Participants will be randomly allocated to a pure self-directed (PSD) or guided self-directed (GSD) intervention. Participants in both groups will be asked to work through the 4 modules of the GamblingLess programme over 8 weeks. Participants in the GSD intervention will also receive weekly emails of guidance and support from a gambling counsellor. A total of 200 participants will be recruited. Participants will be eligible if they reside in Australia, are aged 18 years and over, have access to the internet, have adequate knowledge of the English language, are seeking help for their own gambling problems and are willing to take part in the intervention and associated assessments. Assessments will be conducted at preintervention, and at 2, 3 and 12 months from preintervention. The primary outcome is gambling severity, assessed using the Gambling Symptom Assessment Scale. Secondary outcomes include gambling frequency, gambling expenditure, psychological distress, quality of life and additional help-seeking. Qualitative interviews will also be conducted with a subsample of participants and the Guides (counsellors). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been approved by the Deakin University Human Research and Eastern Health Human Research Ethics Committees. Findings will be disseminated via report, peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12615000864527; results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of Osteoarthritis (OA)-related difficulty walking on risk for diabetes complications in persons with diabetes and OA. DESIGN A population cohort aged 55+ years with symptomatic hip and knee OA was recruited 1996-98 and followed through provincial administrative data to 2015 (n = 2,225). In those with confirmed OA (examination and radiographs) and self-reported diabetes at baseline (n = 359), multivariate Cox regression modeling was used to examine the relationship between baseline difficulty walking (Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) difficulty walking score; use of walking aid) and time to first diabetes-specific complication (hospitalization for hypo- or hyperglycemia, infection, amputation, retinopathy, or initiation of chronic renal dialysis) and cardiovascular (CV) events. RESULTS Participants' mean baseline age was 71.4 years; 66.9% were female, 77.7% had hypertension, 54.0% had pre-existing CV disease, 42.9% were obese and 15.3% were smokers. Median HAQ difficulty walking score was 2/3 indicating moderate to severe walking disability; 54.9% used a walking aid. Over a median 6.1 years, 184 (51.3%) experienced one or more diabetes-specific complications; 191 (53.2%) experienced a CV event over a median 5.7 years. Greater baseline difficulty walking was associated with shorter time to the first diabetes-specific complication (adjusted HR per unit increase in HAQ walking 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.47, P = 0.02) and CV event (adjusted HR for those using a walking aid 1.35, 95% CI 1.00-1.83, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS In a population cohort with OA and diabetes, OA-related difficulty walking was a significant - and potentially modifiable - risk factor for diabetes complications.

Abstract
The DISTINCT study (reDefining Intervention with Studies Testing Innovative Nifedipine GITS-Candesartan Therapy) investigated the efficacy and safety of nifedipine GITS/candesartan cilexetil combinations vs respective monotherapies and placebo in patients with hypertension. This descriptive sub-analysis examined blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects in high-risk participants, including those with renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate<90 ml min-1, n=422), type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=202), hypercholesterolaemia (n=206) and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (n=971), as well as the impact of gender, age and body mass index (BMI). Participants with grade I/II hypertension were randomised to treatment with nifedipine GITS (N) 20, 30, 60 mg and/or candesartan cilexetil (C) 4, 8, 16, 32 mg or placebo for 8 weeks. Mean systolic BP and diastolic BP reductions after treatment in high-risk participants were greater, overall, with N/C combinations vs respective monotherapies or placebo, with indicators of a dose-response effect. Highest rates of BP control (ESH/ESC 2013 guideline criteria) were also achieved with highest doses of N/C combinations in each high-risk subgroup. The benefits of combination therapy vs monotherapy were additionally observed in patient subgroups categorised by gender, age or BMI. All high-risk participants reported fewer vasodilatory adverse events in the pooled N/C combination therapy than the N monotherapy group. In conclusion, consistent with the DISTINCT main study outcomes, high-risk participants showed greater reductions in BP and higher control rates with N/C combinations compared with respective monotherapies and lesser vasodilatory side-effects compared with N monotherapy.

Abstract
In animal models, inflammation is both a cause and consequence of seizures. Less is known about the role of inflammation in human epilepsy. We performed positron emission tomography (PET) using a radiotracer sensitive to brain inflammation in a patient with frontal epilepsy ~36 h after a seizure as well as during a seizure-free period. When statistically compared to a group of 12 matched controls, both of the patient's scans identified a frontal (supplementary motor area) region of increased inflammation corresponding to his clinically defined seizure focus, but the postseizure scan showed significantly greater inflammation intensity and spatial extent. These results provide new information about transient and chronic neuroinflammation in human epilepsy and may be relevant to understanding the process of epileptogenesis and guiding therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with baseline knowledge of HCV and liver disease, acceptability of transient elastography (TE) assessment (FibroScan(®)), and willingness and intent to receive HCV treatment among persons with a history of injection drug use participating in a liver health promotion campaign. METHODS The LiveRLife campaign involved three phases: (1) campaign resource development; (2) campaign resource testing; and (3) campaign implementation. Participants were enrolled in an observational cohort study with recruitment at four clinics - one primary health care facility, two OST clinics, and one medically supervised injecting centre - in Australia between May and October 2014. Participants received educational material, nurse clinical assessment, TE assessment, dried blood spot testing, and completed a knowledge survey. RESULTS Of 253 participants (mean age 43 years), 68% were male, 71% had injected in the past month, and 75% self-reported as HCV positive. Median knowledge score was 16/23. In adjusted analysis, less than daily injection (AOR 5.01; 95% CI, 2.64-9.51) and no daily injection in the past month (AOR 3.54; 95% CI, 1.80-6.94) were associated with high knowledge (≥16). TE was the most preferred method both pre- (66%) and post-TE (89%) compared to liver biopsy and blood sample. Eighty-eight percent were 'definitely willing' or 'somewhat willing' to receive HCV treatment, and 56% intended to start treatment in the next 12 months. Approximately 68% had no/mild fibrosis (F0/F1, ≥2.5 to ≤7.4kPa), 13% moderate fibrosis (F2, ≥7.5 to ≤9.4kPa), 10% severe fibrosis (F3, ≥9.5 to ≤12.4kPa), and 9% had cirrhosis (F4, ≥12.5kPa). CONCLUSION Liver disease and HCV knowledge was moderate. High acceptability of TE by PWID provides strong evidence for the inclusion of TE in HCV-related care, and could help to prioritise HCV treatment for those at greatest risk of liver disease progression.

Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to explore the prevalence and patterns of family violence in treatment-seeking problem gamblers. Secondary aims were to identify the prevalence of problem gambling in a family violence victimisation treatment sample and to explore the relationship between problem gambling and family violence in other treatment-seeking samples. Clients from 15 Australian treatment services were systematically screened for problem gambling using the Brief Bio-Social Gambling Screen and for family violence using single victimisation and perpetration items adapted from the Hurt-Insulted-Threatened-Screamed (HITS): gambling services (n=463), family violence services (n=95), alcohol and drug services (n=47), mental health services (n=51), and financial counselling services (n=48). The prevalence of family violence in the gambling sample was 33.9% (11.0% victimisation only, 6.9% perpetration only, and 16.0% both victimisation and perpetration). Female gamblers were significantly more likely to report victimisation only (16.5% cf. 7.8%) and both victimisation and perpetration (21.2% cf. 13.0%) than male gamblers. There were no other demographic differences in family violence prevalence estimates. Gamblers most commonly endorsed their parents as both the perpetrators and victims of family violence, followed by current and former partners. The prevalence of problem gambling in the family violence sample was 2.2%. The alcohol and drug (84.0%) and mental health (61.6%) samples reported significantly higher rates of any family violence than the gambling sample, while the financial counselling sample (10.6%) reported significantly higher rates of problem gambling than the family violence sample. The findings of this study support substantial comorbidity between problem gambling and family violence, although this may be accounted for by a high comorbidity with alcohol and drug use problems and other psychiatric disorders. They highlight the need for routine screening, assessment and management of problem gambling and family violence in a range of services.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to compare ezetimibe/simvastatin combination therapy with intensified statin monotherapy as alternative treatment strategies to achieve the Joint British Societies (JBS)-2 and National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of < 2 mmol/l for secondary prevention or JBS-2 LDL-C target of < 2 mmol/l for primary prevention in high-risk patients who have failed to reach target with simvastatin 40 mg. METHODS This is a prospective, double-blind study conducted in 34 UK primary care centres; 1748 patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes or high risk of CVD who had been taking simvastatin 40 mg for > or = 6 weeks were screened and 786 (45%) with fasting LDL-C > or = 2.0 mmol/l (and < 4.2 mmol/l) at screening and after a further 6-week run-in period on simvastatin 40 mg were randomised to ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/40 mg (as a combination tablet; n = 261), atorvastatin 40 mg (n = 263) or rosuvastatin 5 mg (n = 73) or 10 mg (n = 189) once daily for 6 weeks. Rosuvastatin dose was based on UK prescribing instructions. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of patients achieving LDL-C < 2 mmol/l at the end of the study. RESULTS The percentage of patients (adjusted for baseline differences) achieving LDL-C < 2 mmol/l was 69.4% with ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/40 mg, compared with 33.5% for atorvastatin 40 mg [odds ratio 4.5 (95% CI: 3.0-6.8); p < 0.001] and 14.3% for rosuvastatin 5 or 10 mg [odds ratio 13.6 (95% CI: 8.6-21.6); p < 0.001]. Similar results were observed for achievement of total cholesterol < 4.0 mmol/l. All study treatments were well tolerated. CONCLUSION Approximately 45% of patients screened had not achieved LDL-C < 2 mmol/l after > or = 12 weeks of treatment with simvastatin 40 mg. In this group, treatment with ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/40 mg achieved target LDL-C levels in a significantly higher proportion of patients during a 6-week period than switching to either atorvastatin 40 mg or rosuvastatin 5-10 mg.

Abstract
The interaction of two counterpropagating solitons of equal amplitudes has been studied experimentally and numerically in a monolayer strongly coupled complex plasma. Complex plasmas are microparticle suspensions in ion-electron plasmas. It was found that the solitons are delayed after the collision. Solitons with higher amplitude experience longer delays. The amplitude of the overlapping solitons during the collision was less than the sum of the initial soliton amplitudes.

Abstract
This article presents the results of an expert consultation meeting aimed at evaluating the safety and public health implications of administering supplemental iron to infants and young children in malaria-endemic areas. Participants at this meeting that took place in Lyon, France on June 12-14, 2006 reached consensus on several important issues related to iron supplementation for infants and young children in malaria-endemic areas. The conclusions in this report apply specifically to regions where malaria is endemic.

Abstract
9089 Background: Pain and depression are two of the most prevalent and treatable cancer-related symptoms, each present in at least 20–30% of oncology patients. Therefore, we are conducting the NCI-funded Indiana Cancer Pain and Depression (INCPAD) study, a randomized clinical trial conducted in a statewide network of 13 community-based cancer clinics located in both rural and urban oncology practices. Methods: Patients are screened at the local clinics followed by telephone-based enrollment and informed consent, depression and pain care management, and serial research outcome assessments over a 12-month period. Patients randomized to the intervention complete automated home-based symptom monitoring by interactive voice-recorded phone calls or by internet on a tapering schedule (twice a week tapering to monthly), allowing a single nurse care manager to centrally monitor treatment of patients asynchronously and efficiently. Results: Of the first 1,612 patients screened for the trial, 820 (51%) screened positive for depression and/or pain. Of these screen-positive patients, 760 (93%) were successfully contacted by telephone, of whom 203 were ineligible (most often because of symptoms that did not reach severity thresholds), 299 refused, and 163 were enrolled. Reasons that patients refused included lack of interest in trial participation (n=176), the belief their symptoms were not cancer-related (n=35), too sick (n = 30), too busy (n = 21), or other reasons (n = 36). Conclusions: INCPAD demonstrates the feasibility of enrolling cancer patients from multiple geographically-dispersed practices and providing centralized symptom care management. The fact that two-thirds of eligible patients still refuse to participate in a relatively “low burden” trial focused on alleviating bothersome symptoms and conducted almost exclusively by telephone highlights the need for additional strategies to facilitate enrollment in cancer trials. In particular, specific approaches to overcome low enthusiasm for trial participation need to be developed. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
