Abstract
Metastatic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) have poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. The recent advent of immunotherapies showing remarkable clinical efficacies against various cancer types offers the possibility of novel opportunities also for metastatic PPGL. Most PPGLs are pathogenically linked to inactivating mutations in genes encoding different succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunits. This causes activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF2)-mediated transcriptional program in the absence of decreased intratumoral oxygen levels, a phenomenon known as pseudohypoxia. Genuine hypoxia in a tumor creates an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, the impact of pseudohypoxia in the immune landscape of tumors remains largely unexplored. In this study, tumoral expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and HIF2α and tumor infiltration of CD8 T lymphocytes (CTLs) were examined in PPGL specimens from 102 patients. We assessed associations between PD-L1, CTL infiltration, HIF2α expression, and the mutational status of SDH genes. Our results show that high PD-L1 expression levels in tumor cells and CTL tumor infiltration were more frequent in metastatic than nonmetastatic PPGL. However, this phenotype was negatively associated with SDH mutations and high HIF2α protein expression. These data were validated by analysis of mRNA levels of genes expressing PD-L1, CD8, and HIF2α in PPGL included in The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Further, PD-L1 and CD8 expression was lower in norepinephrine than epinephrine-secreting PPGL. This in silico analysis also revealed the low PD-L1 or CD8 expression levels in tumors with inactivating mutations in VHL or activating mutations in the HIF2α-coding gene, EPAS1, which, together with SDH-mutated tumors, comprise the pseudohypoxic molecular subtype of PPGL. These findings suggest that pseudohypoxic tumor cells induce extrinsic signaling toward the immune cells promoting the development of an immunosuppressive environment. It also provides compelling support to explore the differential response of metastatic PPGL to immune checkpoint inhibitors. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
BackgroundSystemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a high risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. It was previously reported by our group that low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles isolated from SLE patients, during an active state of the disease (‘flare’), promoted an exaggerated inflammatory response in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this response still remain elusive.ObjectivesThe hypothesis of this study is that these SLE-LDLs would be using receptor LOX-1, associated with inflammatory conditions and altered lipoproteins, to generate the proatherogenic response in HAECs.MethodsLOX-1 pharmacological inhibitor k-carrageenan was used before the stimulation of HAECs with LDLs isolated from healthy controls (10), non-active (13), or active-SLE patients (13). Gene expression, protein, and cell migration assays were performed to evaluate HAECs inflammatory response.ResultsLOX-1 inhibition with k-carrageenan significantly reduced the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and restored the gene expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in HAECs incubated with non-active SLE LDLs.ConclusionWhile VCAM-1 down-regulation was expected, the immediate next step derived from the observed results will be a deeper understanding of how LOX-1 inhibition may restore the endothelial ability to synthetize NO in the presence of altered LDL. This will allow gaining insight not only on the development of atherosclerosis but also on the clue mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Purpose Low skeletal muscle mass determined radiographically has emerged as an important prognostic marker in penile cancer patients but may be unrecognized in obese patients with a high comorbid disease burden. Moreover, publicly available software for image segmentation are limited. Thus, we describe the prevalence of radiographically low skeletal muscle mass in an obese penile cancer cohort, using an open-source software and examine its association with comorbid disease burden. Methods This is a cross-sectional study, utilizing retrospective data from patients diagnosed with penile squamous cell carcinoma between October 2009 and December 2019. Available digital files of perioperative computerized tomography were analyzed, using CoreSlicer, an open-source image segmentation software. The correlation between radiographically low skeletal muscle mass, defined as a skeletal muscle index (SMI) less than 55 cm2/m2 and a Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) greater than 4 was examined, using logistic and linear regression. Results Forty two of 59 patients had available digital files. Median SMI and body mass index (BMI) were 54.6cm2/m2 and 30.2kg/m2 respectively for the entire cohort. Of included patients, 54% had radiographically low skeletal muscle mass and a median BMI of 28.9 kg/m2. Radiographically low skeletal muscle mass was associated with a CCI greater than 4 on univariable and multivariable logistic regression with odds ratios of 4.85 (p = 0.041) and 7.32 (p = 0.033), respectively. When CCI was treated as a continuous variable on linear regression, the association between radiographically low skeletal muscle mass and CCI was positive, but not statistically significant with an estimated effect of 1.29 (p = 0.1) and 1.27 (p = 0.152) on univariable and multivariable analysis, respectively. Conclusion Our data demonstrate that low skeletal muscle mass can be readily assessed with CoreSlicer and is associated with a CCI greater than 4 in obese penile cancer patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
There is a paucity of longitudinal studies with sleep efficiency (SE) as an outcome measure. Our objective was to examine potential risk factors for incident reduced SE among community-dwelling women in late life.
Methods
We studied 700 women (mean age 82.5 [SD=3.0] years) with a SE ≥70% at the Year 16 (2002-04) visit of the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures with a follow-up measure of SE at the Year 20 (2006-08) visit. SE (percentage of time sleeping while in bed) at both visits was measured using a wrist actigraph with data collected for an average of four 24-hour periods. Women were classified as having incident reduced SE if they had SE <70% at Year 20. Logistic regression was used to estimate the associations between potential risk factors (demographics, lifestyle, use of medications, self-reported medical conditions, functional impairment, frailty, mental and physical health) at Year 16 and reduced SE at Year 20. The association of each candidate risk factor with reduced SE at Year 20 was examined in models adjusted for age, clinical site and continuous SE at Year 16. Candidate risk factors with Benjamin Hochberg false-discovery rate q-values <0.10 were included in a final multivariate model.
Results
Among the 700 eligible women, 62 (8.9%) developed incident reduced SE between the Year 16 and Year 20 visits. After adjusting for age, site and baseline SE, antidepressant use [OR=3.06; 95% CI: 1.50-6.25], benzodiazepine use [OR=2.97; 95% CI: 1.30-6.80] and the presence of hypertension [OR=2.83; 95% CI: 1.47-5.45] at Year 16 were independently associated with a higher odds of having reduced SE at follow-up.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that antidepressant use, benzodiazepine use and hypertension are risk factors or markers for the development of reduced sleep efficiency in older women. Future studies are warranted to examine the underlying mechanisms for these associations.

Abstract
Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time, microscopic cross-sectional imaging. A US-based multi-center registry was constructed to prospectively collect data on patients undergoing upper endoscopy during which a VLE scan was performed. The objective of this registry was to determine usage patterns of VLE in clinical practice and to estimate quantitative and qualitative performance metrics as they are applied to Barrett's esophagus (BE) management. All procedures utilized the NvisionVLE Imaging System (NinePoint Medical, Bedford, MA) which was used by investigators to identify the tissue types present, along with focal areas of concern. Following the VLE procedure, investigators were asked to answer six key questions regarding how VLE impacted each case. Statistical analyses including neoplasia diagnostic yield improvement using VLE was performed. One thousand patients were enrolled across 18 US trial sites from August 2014 through April 2016. In patients with previously diagnosed or suspected BE (894/1000), investigators used VLE and identified areas of concern not seen on white light endoscopy (WLE) in 59% of the procedures. VLE imaging also guided tissue acquisition and treatment in 71% and 54% of procedures, respectively. VLE as an adjunct modality improved the neoplasia diagnostic yield by 55% beyond the standard of care practice. In patients with no prior history of therapy, and without visual findings from other technologies, VLE-guided tissue acquisition increased neoplasia detection over random biopsies by 700%. Registry investigators reported that VLE improved the BE management process when used as an adjunct tissue acquisition and treatment guidance tool. The ability of VLE to image large segments of the esophagus with microscopic cross-sectional detail may provide additional benefits including higher yield biopsies and more efficient tissue acquisition.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Intraoperative ultrasound guided surgery (IOUS) has shown not only to improve surgical outcomes by achieving higher rates of negative margins and reducing the need for re-excisions, but also showing better cosmetic results and patient's satisfaction in the adjuvant setting. After neoadjuvant treatments (NAT) we have shown that IOUS lowers the volume of resection in patients with pathologic complete response or minimal microscopic disease after NAT without compromising margins and local recurrences when compared to wire localization techniques (WL) The aim of this study was to determine if IOUS after NAT contributes to improve cosmetic outcomes and quality of life (QOL) when compared with WL.
Material and Methods. The pilot study enrolled patients treated with NAT who underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS) between July 2008 and December 2012. On the follow up visit, cosmetic outcomes were assessed by the patient and surgeon on a 4 point Likert scale, by the Breast Cancer Conservative Treatment cosmetic results (BCCT.core) software, and by an independent panel. QOL was assessed using cancer-specific (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-B23) questionnaires.
Results. The study investigated 113 patients: 81 (71.6 %) in the IOUS group and 32 (28.3 %) in the WL group. The patient and tumor characteristics were comparable between the two groups. Mean follow up was 64 months (range, 12-90) in the WL group while 41 months (range, 18-107) in the IOUS group.
Cosmetic outcomes reported by the patient showed a tendency (p=0.07) for better results in the IOUS group. Patient reported cosmetic outcomes and the independent panel cosmetic evaluation significantly correlated with lumpectomy volume excised (p= 0.04, p = 0.02 respectively). The BCCT.core did not correlate with volume of tissue excised (p < 0.14). IOUS achieved better cosmetic outcomes compared to WL, with excellent outcomes of 30% and 19% respectively, although poor cosmetic outcomes were 3% and 0% respectively. Correlation between patients and surgeons evaluation regarding cosmetic outcomes and satisfaction was low (0.38 and 0.40 respectively). A comparison of the QOL scores of 113 patients showed a significantly better global health status (p = 0.03), better emotional and role function (p = 0.004), for patients with IOUS compared to WL patients.
Conclusions. This is the first study to show that breast volume excised significantly correlates with cosmetic outcomes in the neoadjuvant setting. These results suggest that IOUS after NAT contributes to a better quality of life and may influence cosmetic outcomes in breast cancer patients. Patient reported outcomes should be included in the quality assessment in breast surgery as the correlation with surgeons' evaluation is low.

Abstract
We investigate the formation of a laser-produced magnetized jet under conditions of a varying mass ejection rate and a varying divergence of the ejected plasma flow. This is done by irradiating a solid target placed in a 20 T magnetic field with, first, a collinear precursor laser pulse (10^{12} W/cm^{2}) and, then, a main pulse (10^{13} W/cm^{2}) arriving 9-19 ns later. Varying the time delay between the two pulses is found to control the divergence of the expanding plasma, which is shown to increase the strength of and heating in the conical shock that is responsible for jet collimation. These results show that plasma collimation due to shocks against a strong magnetic field can lead to stable, astrophysically relevant jets that are sustained over time scales 100 times the laser pulse duration (i.e., >70 ns), even in the case of strong variability at the source.

Abstract
We present new experiments to study the formation of radiative shocks and the interaction between two counterpropagating radiative shocks. The experiments are performed at the Orion laser facility, which is used to drive shocks in xenon inside large aspect ratio gas cells. The collision between the two shocks and their respective radiative precursors, combined with the formation of inherently three-dimensional shocks, provides a novel platform particularly suited for the benchmarking of numerical codes. The dynamics of the shocks before and after the collision are investigated using point-projection x-ray backlighting while, simultaneously, the electron density in the radiative precursor was measured via optical laser interferometry. Modeling of the experiments using the 2D radiation hydrodynamic codes nym and petra shows very good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the leading cause of severe congenital abnormalities. CMV immunoglobulin (CMVIG) may lower risk for symptomatic disease in congenital CMV infection. In a twin pregnancy, only one fetus shows CMV infection, raising a dilemma about intervention since the uninfected fetus would be exposed to treatment unnecessarily. CMVIG (2 × 200 U/kg) was given due to high viral load and development of an intraventricular cyst. The cyst growth plateaued, no other brain damage developed, and at 8 months, the infant was symptom-free. CMVIG appears appropriate to treat intrauterine CMV infection in this setting.

Abstract
A new system for the ultrafast characterization of resistive switching phenomenon is developed to acquire the current during the Set and Reset process in a microsecond time scale. A new electronic circuit has been developed as a part of the main setup system, which is capable of (i) applying a hardware current limit ranging from nanoampers up to miliampers and (ii) converting the Set and Reset exponential gate current range into an equivalent linear voltage. The complete system setup allows measuring with a microsecond resolution. Some examples demonstrate that, with the developed setup, an in-depth analysis of resistive switching phenomenon and random telegraph noise can be made.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have suggested that antiretroviral therapy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected pregnant women can cause alterations in cardiac structure and function in fetuses or children, although the results are not very clear. The aim of this study is to assess whether or not these alterations are present in the heart of fetuses of HIV-infected pregnant women, undergoing treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). STUDY DESIGN We performed a prospective study on 29 consecutive HIV-positive pregnant women treated with HAART and 70 consecutive HIV-negative pregnant women as controls. Fetal cardiac biometry and function was evaluated by echocardiography at 30-32 weeks of gestation. Fetal biometry, estimated fetal weight and umbilical artery Doppler were also measured. RESULTS We found E/A tricuspid ratio values slightly increased (0.84 vs 0.80, p = 0.03) and diastolic length shortened (49.7 vs 51.7%, p = 0.03) in the HIV-infected group. The rest of the biometric and functional cardiac parameters were not different between both groups. There were no cases of vertical transmission of HIV infection. CONCLUSION In HIV-infected pregnant women treated with HAART, no significant changes are showed in fetal cardiac parameters.

Abstract
We present a novel fabrication process based on laser interference lithography, lift-off and reactive ion etching, which allows us to fabricate periodic nanostructures on photovoltaic substrates with an average root mean square (RMS) roughness of 750 nm. We fabricate nanostructures on unpolished crystalline silicon substrates, which reduces their reflectance 30% as fabricated. When an additional passivation layer is deposited, the light trapping grows, achieving a reflectance reduction of 60%. In addition, we have successfully integrated the nanostructured substrates in silicon wafer-based solar cells following standard processes, achieving a final efficiency of 15.56%.

Abstract
On 18 September 2013, the Gipuzkoa Epidemiology Unit was notified of an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) among employees at a domestic appliance factory. The first signs of the outbreak had emerged at the end of June and at the time of the notification 30 workers were on sick leave for gastroenteritis. Some employees had had more than one episode and the main symptoms were diarrhoea and vomiting. An investigation began to identify the causative agent, assess exposure and determine the route of transmission. Data collected by a questionnaire identified 302 episodes of AGE among 238 people affected between June and September 2013. The source of water consumed was found to be a risk factor associated with the appearance of symptoms both in the crude and the adjusted analysis: odds ratio 1.8 (0.8-4.2) and 6.4 (4.2-9.8), respectively. Microbiological analysis of stool samples and of water confirmed the presence of norovirus and rotavirus. The environmental study detected a connection between an industrial use water system and drinking water at the factory. It was concluded that the outbreak was caused by mixed viral infections, due to contamination of drinking water.
