Abstract
Background The relationship between imprisonment and mental illness is bidirectional. The clinical outcomes of prisoners with mental illness have not been widely studied, especially in developing countries. This study was conducted to assess the same among male inpatients under judicial custody with charges of homicide. Methods A retrospective chart review of male forensic ward inpatients admitted between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2016, was conducted. Diagnosis in the files was based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 criteria. The Clinical and Global Improvement-Severity (CGI-S) scale was used to measure the severity of illness. Mean CGI-S assessment was carried out at baseline, end of 1 year, 5 years, and 15 years. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Friedman's test, and Dunn's post hoc test. Results Schizophrenia spectrum disorders and other psychotic disorders, mood disorders, and alcohol use disorders were diagnosed in 62(49.6%), 22(17.6%), and 44(35.2%) subjects, respectively. Forty-one (32.8%) subjects had at least one readmission. The average CGI-S score for the total subjects was 5 (markedly ill) at baseline and 2 (borderline ill) at the end of their latest contact with the tertiary care hospital. For the 34 subjects (27.2%) who had follow-up information of 15 years, the average CGI-S score was 1 (normal, not at all ill) at the end of 15 years (P < 0.001). Conclusion Clinical outcomes of prisoners with mental illness seem promising, subject to the seamless availability of services. Studies from other parts of the country are required for a more systematic understanding of the requirements of care.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of intraoperative frozen section analysis of samples harvested with a trephine drill from the bone resection margins to identify malignancy. Thirty-five patients who were diagnosed with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma involving the mandible were included in this study. After tumour resection, bone samples were collected from the resection margin of the specimen using a trephine drill. Sampling yielded a cylindrical specimen of bony tissue that included both cortical and cancellous areas. A second sample was obtained from the area where bone invasion was evident; this was used as a positive control. Frozen section analysis was performed intraoperatively to check for malignancy. The sensitivity of this technique was found to be 81.8%, with specificity of 87.5%, a positive predictive value of 75%, negative predictive value of 91.3%, and accuracy of 85.7% when compared to standard histopathology as the gold standard. In conclusion, the evaluation of bone margins using the trephine drill technique and frozen section analysis proved to be fast and reliable.

Abstract
Objective To compare efficacy and safety between superior calyceal access and inferior calyceal access for pelvic and/or lower calyceal renal stones. Methods Consecutive patients presenting with Pelvic and/or inferior calyceal renal calculi were allocated to the superior calyceal access (group 1) or inferior calyceal access (group 2) treatment arm. Allocation of treatment access was based on the surgeon’s preference. Variables studied included stone free rate, operating time, intraoperative and postoperative complications. Statistical analysis was executed using SPSS, Version 16.0. The statistical significance was evaluated at 5% level of significance (p value < 0.05). Results Between July 2018 and February 2019, 63 patients were included in each group. The percutaneous inserted guidewire entered the ureter in 92% in group1 and 74.6% in group 2 (p = 0.034). Stone fragments migrated to the middle calyx in 3.2% in group1 and 9.5% in group 2 (p = 0.033). A second puncture was required in one patient in group 1 and in 5 patients in group 2 (p = 0.04). The operative duration (minutes) was 13.46 ± 1.09 in the group 1 while 16.58 ± 1.44 in the group 2 (p = 0.002). Thoracic complications (hydropneumothorax) occurred to 2 patients in superior calyceal access group managed with intercostal tube drainage (p = 0.243).Post operatively blood transfusion was required in two patients in group 2 (p = 0.169). Angioembolization was done in one patient among the inferior calyceal access approach (p = 0.683). Complete stone clearance assessed at 3 months was 96.8% in group 1 and 85.7% in group 2 (p = 0.046). Conclusions Superior calyceal access is a safe and most efficacious in terms of achieving complete stone clearance rate with reduced operative time, minimal blood loss, less need for a second puncture and auxiliary procedures at minimal complications.

Abstract
We present a lattice-QCD-based determination of the chiral phase transition temperature in QCD with two degenerate, massless quarks and a physical strange quark mass using lattice QCD calculations with the highly improved staggered quarks action. We propose and calculate two novel estimators for the chiral transition temperature for several values of the light quark masses, corresponding to Goldstone pion masses in the range of 58 MeV≲m_{π}≲163 MeV. The chiral phase transition temperature is determined by extrapolating to vanishing pion mass using universal scaling analysis. Finite-volume effects are controlled by extrapolating to the thermodynamic limit using spatial lattice extents in the range of 2.8-4.5 times the inverse of the pion mass. Continuum extrapolations are carried out by using three different values of the lattice cutoff, corresponding to lattices with temporal extents N_{τ}=6, 8, and 12. After thermodynamic, continuum, and chiral extrapolations, we find the chiral phase transition temperature T_{c}^{0}=132_{-6}^{+3} MeV.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative denosumab in achieving prospectively decided intention of therapy in operable giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) patients, and to document local recurrence-free survival (LRFS). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 44 patients received preoperative denosumab: 22 to facilitate curettage, 16 to facilitate resection, and six with intent of converting resection to curettage. There were 26 male and 18 female patients. The mean age was 27 years (13 to 47). RESULTS The mean number of denosumab treatments was five (2 to 7) per patient. In 42 of 44 patients (95%), denosumab helped to achieve prospectively decided intention. A total of 41 patients were available for follow-up at a mean follow-up of 34 months (24 to 48). There were 12 local recurrences (29%), in 11 patients (11/25, 44%) who had curettage and in one patient (1/16, 6%) who had resection. The mean time to local recurrence was 16 months (8 to 25). The LRFS was 76% at two years: 94% for cases with resection and 64% for cases with curettage (p = 0.013). CONCLUSION Although local control rates are unlikely to improve with use of preoperative denosumab, a short preoperative course of denosumab can facilitate surgery in certain cases of operable GCTB, with a high risk of local recurrence making curettage or resection technically easier. It may also help in converting a lesion requiring resection to a lesion that could possibly be treated with curettage.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In the U.S., around 252,710 new breast cancer cases will be diagnosed in the year 2017. About 15-20% of these patients will be candidates for treatment with Her-2 directed therapy. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) published initial guidelines for immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 2003 with revisions in 2007 and 2013. 2013 guidelines define 3+(positive) as >10% intense complete membrane staining similar to 2003; >30% complete in 2007. Equivocal 2+ category in 2013 includes incomplete staining > 10% for the first time; this was negative in 2003 and 2007.Hypothesis: The 2013 guidelines do not result in more true positives but increased equivocal cases resulting in clinical uncertainty and increased cost. Methods : A retrospective analysis was performed of all IHC and FISH testing done at a single institution with a single pathology reader from 2003-2016. Criteria for IHC and FISH positivity were followed for each time period and compared to one another for positive and negative HER2 expression. The equivocal categories than compared for outcome by FISH. Ultimate numbers for percentage in each category compared for statistical significance. Results:

When further analysis was carried out, period 1 and 2 were added together and compared to period 3. When all positives and negatives were compared, there was no statistical difference between the periods. However in the equivocal category, Period 1 and 2 were statistically different than period 3. In fact the only change in period 3 was the increase in the equivocal cases (same case-equivocal IHC and FISH).
Conclusion: In the 2013 CAP guidelines, 2+ IHC now includes incomplete staining in >10% of cells. This does not result in more positive cases as was the intention but an increase in the equivocal category by 8.19%. This adds to clinical uncertainty as to how to treat this group of patients. A send out for FISH is labor intensive, slow and costs on average of $650/case. With over 250,000 new cases expected this year in the U.S. this cost exceeds $13million. From all our data, the best parameters for IHC testing would be; positive-strong, complete staining in >10% cells and equivocal to eliminate the incomplete staining category. This would yield the highest number of true positives by FISH and almost eliminate ultimate equivocal cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared to vaginal delivery, women undergoing cesarean delivery are at increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage. Management approaches may differ between those undergoing prelabor cesarean delivery compared to intrapartum cesarean delivery. We examined surgical interventions, blood component use, and maternal outcomes among those experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage within the two distinct cesarean delivery cohorts. METHODS We performed secondary analyses of data from two cohorts who underwent prelabor cesarean delivery or intrapartum cesarean delivery at a tertiary obstetric center in the United States between 2002 and 2012. Severe postpartum hemorrhage was classified as an estimated blood loss ≥1500mL or receipt of a red blood cell transfusion up to 48h post-cesarean delivery. We examined blood component use, medical and surgical interventions and maternal outcomes. RESULTS The prelabor cohort comprised 269 women and the intrapartum cohort comprised 278 women. In the prelabor cohort, one third of women received red blood cells intraoperatively or postoperatively, respectively. In the intrapartum cohort, 18% women received red blood cells intraoperatively vs. 44% postoperatively (P<0.001). In the prelabor and intrapartum cohorts, methylergonovine was the most common second-line uterotonic (33% and 43%, respectively). Women undergoing prelabor cesarean delivery had the highest rates of morbidity, with 18% requiring hysterectomy and 16% requiring intensive care admission. CONCLUSION Our findings provide a snapshot of contemporary transfusion and surgical practices for severe postpartum hemorrhage management during cesarean delivery. To determine optimal transfusion and management practices in this setting, large pragmatic studies are needed.

Abstract
To simulate clinical trials to assess overall survival (OS) benefit of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy in selected patients with gastric cancer (GC), a modeling framework linking OS with tumor growth inhibition (TGI) metrics and baseline patient characteristics was developed. Various TGI metrics were estimated using TGI models and data from two phase III studies comparing bevacizumab plus chemotherapy vs. chemotherapy as first‐line therapy in 976 GC patients. Time‐to‐tumor‐growth (TTG) was the best TGI metric to predict OS. TTG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, albumin level, and Asian ethnicity were significant covariates in the final OS model. The model correctly predicted a decreased hazard ratio favorable to bevacizumab in patients with high baseline plasma VEGF‐A above the median of 113.4 ng/L. Based on trial simulations, in trials enrolling patients with elevated baseline plasma VEGF‐A (500 patients per arm), the expected hazard ratio was 0.82 (95% prediction interval: 0.70–0.95), independent of ethnicity.

Abstract
The superior bulk properties (corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratio, relatively low cost and easy processing) of hydrocarbon based polymers such as polypropylene (PP) have contributed significantly to the development of new biomedical applications such as artificial organs and cell scaffolds. However, low cell affinity is one of the main draw backs for PP due to its poor surface properties. In tissue engineering, physico-chemical surface properties such as hydrophilicity, polar functional groups, surface charge and morphology play a crucial role to enrich the cell proliferation and adhesion. In this present investigation TiOx based biocompatible coatings were developed on the surface of PP films via DC excited glow discharge plasma, using TiCl4/Ar+O2 gas mixture as a precursor. Various TiOx-based coatings are deposited on the surface of PP films as a function of discharge power. The changes in hydrophilicity of the TiOx/PP film surfaces were studied using contact angle analysis and surface energy calculations by Fowke's approximation. X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the surface chemical composition of TiOx/PP films. The surface morphology of the obtained TiOx/PP films was investigated by scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy (SEM &TEM). Moreover, the surface topography of the material was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The cytocompatibility of the TiOx/PP films was investigated via in vitro analysis (cell viability, adhesion and cytotoxicity) using NIH3T3 (mouse embryonic fibroblast) cells. Furthermore the antibacterial activities of TiOx/PP films were also evaluated against two distinct bacterial models namely Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) and Gram negative Escherichia coli DH5α. (E.coli) bacteria. XPS results clearly indicate the successful incorporation of TiOx and oxygen containing polar functional groups on the surface of plasma treated PP films. Moreover the surface of modified PP films exhibited nano structured morphology, as confirmed by SEM, TEM and AFM. The physico-chemical changes have improved the hydrophilicity of the PP films. The in-vitro analysis clearly confirms that the TiOx coated PP films performs as good as the standard tissue culture plates and also are unlikely to impact the bacterial cell viability.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: TNBC is a mutationally complex heterogeneous breast cancer subtype. In BEATRICE, adding bevacizumab to standard adjuvant chemotherapy for eTNBC improved neither invasive disease-free survival (IDFS; primary endpoint) nor overall survival (OS) [Cameron 2013; Bell SABCS 2014]. We explored prognostic effects of tumor-associated immune and stromal gene signatures.
Methods: Gene expression (RNA) was assessed in pretreatment archival tumor tissue using an 800-gene nanostring platform. Given the low event rates and lack of bevacizumab effect in BEATRICE, treatment arms were pooled. The biomarker-evaluable population (BEP; all patients with an evaluable biomarker sample and ≥1 postbaseline efficacy assessment) was dichotomized using median gene expression level as the cutoff. Prognostic associations between IDFS/OS and prespecified candidate gene sets/de novo identified clusters were assessed using univariate Cox proportional hazards models.
Results: Baseline characteristics and efficacy were similar in the BEP (988/2591 randomized pts; 38%) and the overall study population. In hierarchical cluster analysis based exclusively on immune gene expression, immune genes were enriched in 33% of samples, intermediate in 38%, and weak in 28%. Further characterization suggested differential prognostic value of distinct immune and stromal cell gene sets (Table). A significant prognostic effect for IDFS and OS was seen for CD8 effector T cell (Teff) and regulatory T cell (Treg) gene signatures, but not for the Teff:Treg ratio. A less pronounced positive prognostic effect was seen for other gene sets representing immune cells, including macrophages, CD4 T cells, and B cells (data not shown). Activated T helper (Th)-1 cell-derived chemokines and negative immune modulators of T cell activity (eg PD-L1) were highly prognostic for IDFS and OS. Both the cytokine IL-8 and ESM1 (target of VEGF-A pathway activation) were associated with worse IDFS and OS. No association was seen between outcome and markers for classic microvasculature (CD31, CD34), cancer-associated fibroblasts (FAP, BGN, DCN), VEGF-A, or VEGF-C.

Conclusions: These molecular gene signature analyses in eTNBC confirm that markers of cytotoxic CD8 T cells are associated with good prognosis. This is the first report of a positive prognostic effect of regulatory T cell markers, immune checkpoint modulators, and macrophage-associated markers in the adjuvant TNBC setting. High VEGF-A activity, but not its expression, was associated with worse prognosis. The strong prognostic effect of immune checkpoint modulators suggests equilibrium between cytotoxic T cells and their inhibitors in eTNBC, supporting further exploration of immune checkpoint inhibitors in this therapeutic context.

Abstract
We compare lattice QCD results for appropriate combinations of net strangeness fluctuations and their correlations with net baryon number fluctuations with predictions from two hadron resonance gas (HRG) models having different strange hadron content. The conventionally used HRG model based on experimentally established strange hadrons fails to describe the lattice QCD results in the hadronic phase close to the QCD crossover. Supplementing the conventional HRG with additional, experimentally uncharted strange hadrons predicted by quark model calculations and observed in lattice QCD spectrum calculations leads to good descriptions of strange hadron thermodynamics below the QCD crossover. We show that the thermodynamic presence of these additional states gets imprinted in the yields of the ground-state strange hadrons leading to a systematic 5-8 MeV decrease of the chemical freeze-out temperatures of ground-state strange baryons.

Abstract
Lymphocytic thyroiditis and hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) are the two main forms of autoimmune thyroiditis among which the latter is most frequent. A vast majority of cases of papillary carcinoma and primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) arise in the setting of HT. A case of 32-year-old female who presented with thyroid enlargement, post-thyroidectomy showed hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with coexistent papillary carcinoma and non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The immunohistochemistry was positive for CD 20, CD 45, bcl 2 for lymphoma, low and high molecular cytokeratin for papillary carcinoma. The staging studies showed no evidence of metastasis. It is thus concluded that papillary carcinoma and NHL can coexist with HT. The thyroid lymphoma or papillary carcinoma has to be thought off, whenever patients presents with sudden enlargement in a known case of HT. A patient presenting with concomitant primary thyroid lymphoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma must be judiciously evaluated, since, the treatment has to prioritize the tumor with worst stage at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: In previous studies, the utilization of ultrasound guided near infrared diffused light imaging (US-NIR) has shown great potential in predicting and monitoring the pathologic tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The purpose of the current study is to develop a prediction model utilizing pretreatment tumor hemoglobin content measured by US-NIR in conjunction with standard pathologic tumor characteristics to predict pathologic response even before NAC is given. Utilizing a multiple logistic regression model, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) are determined for the models.
Materials and Methods: 34 patients’ data were retrospectively analyzed using a multiple logistic regression model to predict response. These patients were split into a training group (23 patients of 24 tumors) and testing group (11 patients of 12 tumors). Tumor vascularity was assessed pre-NAC using US-NIR and measurements of total hemoglobin (tHb), oxygenated (oxyHb), and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentrations (deoxyHb) as well as tumor reduced scatter coefficients acquired before treatment. Tumor pathologic variables including the estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and Nottingham score (mitotic index and grade) were acquired before NAC in biopsy specimens and were also used in the prediction model. The patients’ pathologic response was graded based on the Miller-Payne system as non- and partial-responders (grades 1-3) and near-complete and complete responders (grades 4-5).
Results: Utilizing initial tumor pathologic characteristics (grade and receptor status) a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 73.3%, PPV and NPV of 69.5% and 100%, and AUC of 0.83(95% CI: 0.637-963) were obtained from training data. When pretreatment hemoglobin parameters and reduced scatter coefficients were included as additional predictors in training data, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV improved to 100% and AUC of 1.0 (95% CI: 1.0-1.0). The performance of the predictive models were validated on testing data and corresponding values were 100%, 66.7%, 75.0% and 100%, and AUC of 0.83 (CI: 0.56-1.0) when tumor pathologic parameters alone were used as predictors. While the corresponding values were 100% and AUC of 1.0 (CI: 1.0-1.0) when hemoglobin and reduced scatter parameters were added as predictors.
Discussion: These initial findings indicate that combining widely used tumor pathologic variables with hemoglobin and optical scatter functional parameters determined by NIR provides a powerful tool for predicting patient response to preoperative chemotherapy before the initiation of the treatment. With the current trend to treat in the neoadjuvant setting, such a tool will be invaluable for response assessment. Plans are underway to validate this model in larger patient settings and its applicability to non-chemotherapeutic regimens.

Abstract
Appropriate combinations of up to fourth order cumulants of net strangeness fluctuations and their correlations with net baryon number and electric charge fluctuations, obtained from lattice QCD calculations, have been used to probe the strangeness carrying degrees of freedom at high temperatures. For temperatures up to the chiral crossover, separate contributions of strange mesons and baryons can be well described by an uncorrelated gas of hadrons. Such a description breaks down in the chiral crossover region, suggesting that the deconfinement of strangeness takes place at the chiral crossover. On the other hand, the strangeness carrying degrees of freedom inside the quark gluon plasma can be described by a weakly interacting gas of quarks only for temperatures larger than twice the chiral crossover temperature. In the intermediate temperature window, these observables show considerably richer structures, indicative of the strongly interacting nature of the quark gluon plasma.

Abstract
We present a determination of freeze-out conditions in heavy ion collisions based on ratios of cumulants of net electric charge fluctuations. These ratios can reliably be calculated in lattice QCD for a wide range of chemical potential values by using a next-to-leading order Taylor series expansion around the limit of vanishing baryon, electric charge and strangeness chemical potentials. From a computation of up to fourth order cumulants and charge correlations we first determine the strangeness and electric charge chemical potentials that characterize freeze-out conditions in a heavy ion collision and confirm that in the temperature range 150 MeV ≤ T ≤ 170 MeV the hadron resonance gas model provides good approximations for these parameters that agree with QCD calculations on the 5%-15% level. We then show that a comparison of lattice QCD results for ratios of up to third order cumulants of electric charge fluctuations with experimental results allows us to extract the freeze-out baryon chemical potential and the freeze-out temperature.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been increasingly used in treating breast cancers. Because breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, it is important to effectively monitor the tumor response to assist in tailoring treatments to response. In our early study, we have introduced a novel ultrasound (US)-guided diffused light imaging in the near infrared (NIR) spectrum to monitor tumor vascular changes which correlated to tumor response. The objectives of this study are: (a) to validate the initial findings with a larger patient pool, and (b) to assess vascular changes at every treatment cycle and to correlate early vascular changes with the tumor pathological response.
Methods: 33 patients who underwent neoadjuvant treatment were recruited from Dec. 2007 to May 2011 and their tumor vascular content was assessed with a combined imager consisting of a commercial US system coupled to a NIR imager. Patients were imaged before their treatment, at the end of each treatment cycle and before their surgery. The co-registered US was used to localize the tumor and the NIR imager was used to map the tumor vascular distribution which was assessed based on a percentage total hemoglobin (%tHb) concentration normalized to the pre-treatment level. 18 patients were treated with AC followed by Taxol. This group of patients was monitored every two weeks at the end of each treatment. The remaining patients were on 3-week cycles of chemotherapy and monitored every 3 weeks. 6 patients were treated with TC without Adriamycin (TC), or with Adriamycin (TAC), 6 HER2 positive patients were treated with TC and Herceptin (TCH); and 3 patients were treated with AC/Bevacizumab. Pathologic response was graded based on Miller and Payne system as grade 1: non-responders (A); grades 2 and 3: partial responders (B); 4: near-complete and 5: complete responders (C).
Results: In the AC/Taxol group (n=18), there were 5 responders (C), 9 partial (B) and 4 non-responders (A). The statistical significance based on %tHb between groups A and C was achieved at the end of cycle 5 and the rest of the treatment cycles (p<0.05), however, the statistical significance between A and B was only obtained at end of cycle 5 (p<0.05) and not maintained for cycles 6–8. The statistical significance between B and C was only achieved at the end the treatment (p<0.05). For the TC,TAC and TCH group (n=12), there were 6 responders(C) and 6 partial responders (B). The statistical significance between these two groups was achieved at the end of cycle 3 and the rest of the treatment cycles (p<0.05). For the 3 patients who were treated with AC/Bevacizumab, 2 patients achieved complete response and one partial with grade 2. The complete responders had more than 50% reduction in %tHb at the end of cycles 3–4; while the partial one showed only 10–15% reduction during the entire treatment course. Discussion: Our findings indicate that tumor vascular changes assessed by %tHb can be used to predict the tumor pathological response. This is a powerful tool to help predict responsiveness to therapy. Interestingly, dramatic and early responses were noted in the patients who received the biologic agents (bevacizumab and herceptin) and this may be very valuable in following responses using these agents.

Abstract
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a therapeutic compound prepared from pools of plasma obtained from several thousand healthy blood donors. For more than 20 years, IVIG has been used in the treatment of a wide range of primary and secondary immunodeficiencies. IVIG now represents a standard therapeutic option for most antibody deficiencies. Routinely, IVIG is used in patients with X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA), common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), X-linked hyper-IgM, severe combined immunodeficiency, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and selective IgG class deficiency. In addition, IVIG is used extensively in the treatment of a wide variety of autoimmune disorders. IVIG is administered at distinct doses in the two clinical settings: whereas immunodeficient patients are treated with replacement levels of IVIG, patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are administered with very high doses of IVIG. Several lines of experimental evidence gathered in the recent years suggest that the therapeutic beneficial effect of IVIG in immunodeficiencies reflects an active role for IVIG, rather than a mere passive transfer of antibodies.
