Abstract
The reparative properties of amniotic membrane allografts are well-suited for a broad spectrum of specialties. Further enhancement of their utility can be achieved by designing to the needs of each application through the development of novel processing techniques and tissue configurations. As such, this study evaluated the material characteristics and biological properties of two PURION® processed amniotic membrane products, a lyophilized human amnion, intermediate layer, and chorion membrane (LHACM) and a dehydrated human amnion, chorion membrane (DHACM). LHACM is thicker; therefore, its handling properties are ideal for deep, soft tissue deficits; whereas DHACM is more similar to a film-like overlay and may be used for shallow defects or surgical on-lays. Characterization of the similarities and differences between LHACM and DHACM was conducted through a series of in vitro and in vivo studies relevant to the healing cascade. Compositional analysis was performed through histological staining along with assessment of barrier membrane properties through equilibrium dialysis. In vitro cellular response was assessed in fibroblasts and endothelial cells using cell proliferation, migration, and metabolic assays. The in vivo cellular response was assessed in an athymic nude mouse subcutaneous implantation model. The results indicated the PURION® process preserved the native membrane structure, nonviable cells and collagen distributed in the individual layers of both products. Although, LHACM is thicker than DHACM, a similar composition of growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and proteases is retained and consequently elicit comparable in vitro and in vivo cellular responses. In culture, both treatments behaved as potent mitogens, chemoattractants and stimulants, which translated to the promotion of cellular infiltration, neocollagen deposition and angiogenesis in a murine model. PURION® processed LHACM and DHACM differ in physical properties but possess similar in vitro and in vivo activities highlighting the impact of processing method on the versatility of clinical use of amniotic membrane allografts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Professional development is a concept inclusive of all learning such as postgraduate qualifications, staff development, and reflective practice, pursued for the betterment of radiographers' professional expertise. Professional development is associated with professional capabilities and quality service delivery to the patient, and this understanding of professional development applies to the radiography profession. The study aimed to explore and describe the perceptions of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) radiographers regarding the role of professional development in clinical practice. METHODS The study followed a qualitative exploratory-descriptive design, whereby the data was collected from 13 radiographers working in rural and urban KZN using one-on-one semi-structured interviews and analysed using Tesch's eight steps of thematic analysis. RESULTS Three principal themes emerged from the data analysis. The first theme was the radiographers' views of what constitutes professional development. The second theme highlighted radiographers' views of what promotes professional development among professionals and the final theme concerned the radiographers' views of what hinders professional development. CONCLUSION South African radiographers experience a range of challenges regarding professional development participation. There is a need to assist radiography managers to facilitate the professional development of their staff; to develop a culture of professional development among their staff; to recognise and reward radiographers for participating in professional development and to provide relevant and effective professional development opportunities for radiographers.

Abstract
The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NTLR) and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) recovery are prognostic across many cancers. We investigated whether NLTR predicts SBRT success or survival in a metastatic sarcoma cohort treated with SBRT from 2014 and 2020 (N = 42). Wilcox Signed Rank Test and Friedman Test compare NTLR changes with local failure vs. local control (N = 138 lesions). Cox analyses identified factors associated with overall survival. If local control was successful, NLTR change was not significant (p = 0.30). However, NLTR significantly changed in patients with local failure (p = 0.027). The multivariable Cox model demonstrated higher NLTR before SBRT was associated with worse overall survival (p = 0.002). The optimal NTLR cut point was 5 (Youden index: 0.418). One-year overall survival in SBRT metastatic sarcoma cohort was 47.6% (CI 34.3%-66.1%). Patients with an NTLR above 5 had a one-year overall survival of 37.7% (21.4%-66.3%); patients with an NTLR below 5 had a significantly improved overall survival of 63% (43.3%-91.6%, p = 0.014). Since NTLR at the time of SBRT was significantly associated with local control success and overall survival in metastatic sarcoma treated with SBRT, future efforts to reduce tumor inhibitory microenvironment factors and improve lymphocyte recovery should be investigated.

Abstract
Background Treatment decision-making in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) includes clinical stage, HPV status, and smoking history. Despite improvements in staging with separation of HPV-positive and -negative OPSCC in AJCC 8th edition (AJCC8), patients are largely treated with a uniform approach, with recent efforts focused on de-intensification in low-risk patients. We have previously shown, in a pooled analysis, that the genomic adjusted radiation dose (GARD) is predictive of radiation treatment benefit and can be used to guide RT dose selection. We hypothesize that GARD can be used to predict overall survival (OS) in HPV-positive OPSCC patients treated with radiotherapy (RT). Methods Gene expression profiles (Affymetrix Clariom D) were analyzed for 234 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from HPV-positive OPSCC patients within an international, multi-institutional, prospective/retrospective observational study including patients with AJCC 7th edition stage III-IVb. GARD, a measure of the treatment effect of RT, was calculated for each patient as previously described. In total, 191 patients received primary RT definitive treatment (chemoradiation or RT alone, and 43 patients received post-operative RT. Two RT dose fractionations were utilized for primary RT cases (70 Gy in 35 fractions or 69.96 Gy in 33 fractions). Median RT dose was 70 Gy (range 50.88-74) for primary RT definitive cases and 66 Gy (range 44-70) for post-operative RT cases. The median follow up was 46.2 months (95% CI, 33.5-63.1). Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed with GARD as both a continuous and dichotomous variable and time-dependent ROC analyses compared the performance of GARD with the NRG clinical nomogram for overall survival. Results Despite uniform radiation dose utilization, GARD showed significant heterogeneity (range 30-110), reflecting the underlying genomic differences in the cohort. On multivariable analysis, each unit increase in GARD was associated with an improvement in OS (HR = 0.951 (0.911, 0.993), p = 0.023) compared to AJCC8 (HR = 1.999 (0.791, 5.047)), p = 0.143). ROC analysis for GARD at 36 months yielded an AUC of 80.6 (69.4, 91.9) compared with an AUC of 73.6 (55.4, 91.7) for the NRG clinical nomogram. GARD≥64.2 was associated with improved OS (HR = 0.280 (0.100, 0.781), p = 0.015). In a virtual trial, GARD predicts that uniform RT dose de-escalation results in overall inferior OS but proposes two separate genomic strategies where selective RT dose de-escalation in GARD-selected populations results in clinical equipoise. Conclusions In this multi-institutional cohort of patients with HPV-positive OPSCC, GARD predicts OS as a continuous variable, outperforms the NRG nomogram and provides a novel genomic strategy to modern clinical trial design. We propose that GARD, which provides the first opportunity for genomic guided personalization of radiation dose, should be incorporated in the diagnostic workup of HPV-positive OPSCC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the management of subfertility and infertility among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander females attending Australian general practice. METHODS Cross-sectional study of 1,258,581 women (18-49 years) attending general practice between January 2011 and June 2019, utilising data from NPS MedicineWise MedicineInsight, a national general practice database in Australia. RESULTS The prevalence of subfertility/infertility encounters was lower for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander females (12.37 per 1,000) than for non-Indigenous females (16.62 per 1,000). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander females with a subfertility/infertility encounter were younger and more likely to live outside Major cities and in areas of socioeconomic disadvantage than non-Indigenous females. Rates of prescribed infertility medications were not different between groups, however Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander females were more likely to receive a pelvic ultrasound (24.30% vs. 19.90%); tests for luteinizing hormone (31.89% vs. 25.65%); testosterone (14.93% vs. 9.96%) and; glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (6.32% vs. 3.41%),but less likely to receive an anti-müllerian hormone test (2.78% vs. 7.04%). CONCLUSIONS Lower encounter rates for infertility/subfertility among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples may indicate access issues, preferred use of Aboriginal community-controlled health centres or younger average age at first birth and thus less age-related infertility. IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH Future efforts should focus on maximising the inclusiveness of infertility surveillance. There is also a need for further research into the experiences of and preferences for infertility care and associated barriers among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NTLR) and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) recovery are prognostic across many cancers. We investigated whether NLTR predicts SBRT success or survival in a metastatic sarcoma cohort treated with SBRT from 2014 and 2020 (N = 42). Wilcox Signed Rank Test and Friedman Test compare NTLR changes with local failure vs. local control (N = 138 lesions). Cox analyses identified factors associated with overall survival. If local control was successful, NLTR change was not significant (p = 0.30). However, NLTR significantly changed in patients local failure (p = 0.027). The multivariable Cox model demonstrated higher NLTR before SBRT was associated with worse overall survival (p = 0.002). The optimal NTLR cut point was 5 (Youden index: 0.418). One-year overall survival in SBRT metastatic sarcoma cohort was 47.6% (CI 34.3%-66.1%). Patients with an NTLR above 5 had a one-year overall survival of 37.7% (21.4%-66.3%); patients with an NTLR below 5 had a significantly improved overall survival of 63% (43.3%-91.6%, p = 0.014). Since NTLR at the time of SBRT was significantly associated with local control success and overall survival in metastatic sarcoma treated with SBRT, future efforts to reduce tumor inhibitory microenvironment factors and improved lymphocyte recovery should be investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resected oral cavity carcinoma defects are often reconstructed with osteocutaneous or soft-tissue free flaps, but risk of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is unknown. METHODS This retrospective study included oral cavity carcinoma treated with free-tissue reconstruction and postoperative IMRT between 2000 and 2019. Risk-regression assessed risk factors for grade ≥2 ORN. RESULTS One hundred fifty-five patients (51% male, 28% current smokers, mean age 62 ± 11 years) were included. Median follow-up was 32.6 months (range, 1.0-190.6). Thirty-eight (25%) patients had fibular free flap for mandibular reconstruction, whereas 117 (76%) had soft-tissue reconstruction. Grade ≥2 ORN occurred in 14 (9.0%) patients, at a median 9.8 months (range, 2.4-61.5) after IMRT. Post-radiation teeth extraction was significantly associated with ORN. One-year and 10-year ORN rates were 5.2% and 10%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ORN risk was comparable between osteocutaneous and soft-tissue reconstruction for resected oral cavity carcinoma. Osteocutaneous flaps can be safely performed with no excess concern for mandibular ORN.

Abstract
AIMS The Australian estimated post-transplant survival (EPTS-AU) prediction score was developed by re-fitting the United States of America EPTS, without diabetes, to the Australian and New Zealand kidney transplant population over 2002-2013. The EPTS-AU score incorporates age, previous transplantation and time on dialysis. Diabetes was excluded from the score, as this was not previously recorded in the Australian allocation system. In May 2021, the EPTS-AU prediction score was incorporated into the Australian kidney allocation algorithm to optimise utility for recipients (maximised benefit). We aimed to temporally validate the EPTS-AU prediction score to ensure it can be used for this purpose. METHODS Using the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry, we included adult recipients of deceased donor kidney-only transplants between 2014-2021. We constructed Cox models for patient survival. We assessed validation using measures of model fit (Akaike information criterion and misspecification), discrimination (Harrell's C statistic and Kaplan Meier curves), and calibration (observed versus predicted survival). RESULTS 6402 recipients were included in the analysis. The EPTS-AU had moderate discrimination with a C statistic of 0.69 (95% CI 0.67,0.71), and clear delineation between Kaplan Meier's survival curves of EPTS-AU. The EPTS was well calibrated with the predicted survivals equating with the observed survival outcomes for all prognostic groups. CONCLUSIONS The EPTS-AU performs reasonably well in choosing between recipients (discrimination) and to predict a recipient's survival (calibration). Reassuringly, the score is functioning as intended to predict post-transplant survival for recipients as part of the national allocation algorithm. This article is protected by copyright.

The American Society for Radiation Oncology commissioned an independent analysis in 2022, looking at supply and demand in the United States radiation oncology workforce and projecting future trends for 2025 and 2030. The final report entitled, "Projected Supply and Demand for Radiation Oncologists in the U.S. in 2025 and 2030" is now available. The analysis included evaluating radiation oncologist supply (new graduates, exits from the specialty), potential changes in demand (growth of Medicare beneficiaries, hypofractionation, loss of indications, new indications) as well as radiation oncologist productivity (growth of work RVUs produced) and demand per beneficiary. The results demonstrated a relative balance between radiation oncology supply and demand for radiation services; the growth in radiation oncologists was balanced by the rapid growth of Medicare beneficiaries over the same time period. The primary factors driving the model were found to be growth of Medicare beneficiaries, and change in work RVU productivity with hypofractionation and loss of indication having only a moderate impact; while the most likely scenario was a balance of workforce supply and demand, scenarios did demonstrate the possibility of over and under supply. Oversupply may become a concern if radiation oncologist wRVU productivity reaches the highest region; beyond 2030, this is also possible if growth in radiation oncologist supply does not parallel Medicare beneficiary growth. Limitations of the analysis included the lack of inclusion of most technical reimbursement and its impact as well as failing to account for SBRT. A modeling tool is available to allow individuals to evaluate different scenarios. Moving forward, continued study will be needed to evaluate trends (particularly work RVU productivity and Medicare beneficiary growth) to allow for continued assessment of workforce supply and demand in radiation oncology.

Abstract
Aim Explore the impact of COVID-19 on numbers and clinical profile of Eating Disorder (ED) presentations to a specialist ED program pre- and during COVID-19. Methods Retrospective chart review of referrals pre- COVID-19 (January 2018 - February 2020) and during COVID-19 (March 2020 - August 2021) were compared. Results 128 youth were assessed with significantly higher rates of referrals each month during COVID-19 compared to pre- COVID-19 (3.78 vs. 2.31, p = 0.02). Youth referred during COVID-19 showed a higher rate of % Ideal Body Weight (IBW) loss (4.8% = vs. 2.6%, p = < 0.001) and had a shorter duration of illness pre-referral (4.8 months vs. 7.4 months, p = 0.001). Fewer youth during COVID- 19 (19% vs. 43%, p = 0.011) were prescribed psychotropic medication. Many youth (80%), self-declared COVID-19 as a contributory factor in the development of their ED. Conclusion This study supports the growing consensus of a COVID-19 specific impact on ED services with higher rates of referrals, youth presenting with a faster pace of weight loss and earlier referral to specialist services. Whether this represents a true increase in EDs or an overall increase in CAMHS referrals with a faster transfer to ED services requires further exploration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of keratinocyte cancers, namely squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas (SCCs and BCCs). This is primarily due to the high levels of immunosuppression that are required to prevent allograft rejection. Different immunosuppressive medications confer different risks, and the effect of mycophenolate mofetil on SCC and BCC risk is unclear. We explored the relationship between mycophenolate dose prescribed over the entire transplant period and the risk of SCC and BCC. METHODS Kidney transplant recipients from Queensland, Australia, were recruited between 2012 and 2014 and followed until mid-2016. During this time transplant recipients underwent regular skin examinations to diagnose incident SCCs and BCCs. Immunosuppressive medication regimens were obtained from hospital records, and the average mycophenolate dose/day over the entire transplantation period was calculated for each patient. Doses were divided into three ranked groups, and adjusted relative risks (RRadj) of developing SCC and BCC tumours were calculated using negative binomial regression with the lowest dosage group as reference. Recipients who had used azathioprine previously were excluded; further sub-group analysis was performed for other immunosuppressant medications. RESULTS There were 134 kidney transplant recipients included in the study. The average age was 55, 31% were female and 69% were male. At the highest median mycophenolate dose of 1818 mg/day the SCC risk doubled (RRadj 2.22, 95% CI 1.03-4.77) when compared to the reference group of 1038 mg/day. An increased risk persisted after accounting for ever-use of ciclosporin, ever-use of tacrolimus, and when excluding mammalian target of rapamycin users. This increased risk was mainly carried by kidney transplant recipients immunosuppressed for five or more years (RRadj = 11.05 95% CI 2.50-48.81). In contrast, there was no significant association between BCC incidence and therapy with the highest compared with the lowest mycophenolate dosage (RRadj = 1.27 95% CI 0.56-2.87). CONCLUSION Higher mycophenolate dosage is associated with increased SCCs in kidney transplant recipients, particularly those immunosuppressed for more than five years. The increased SCC risk persists after accounting for usage of other immunosuppressant medications.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does advanced paternal age (APA) impact live birth rates (LBRs) in IVF/ICSI treatment independent of female partner’s age?
Summary answer
LBRs decline with paternal age ≥40 years, but not when female partner is < 35 or ≥ 40 years.
What is known already
APA, particularly over 40 years, has been shown to be associated with declining sperm parameters, impaired embryo development, aneuploidy, compromised pregnancy outcomes and mental health abnormalities in the offspring in IVF/ICSI cycles.
However, no significant effect of APA on pregnancy outcomes has been noted in donor oocyte cycles, indicating possible positive effect of female age counteracting negative male age-related IVF/ICSI outcomes.
Data on whether female and male age influence each other, or are independently related to LBR, are limited and inconclusive.
Study design, size, duration
Retrospective analysis of 18, 825 autologous IVF or ICSI with fresh single embryo transfer (SET) cycles from the UK’s national anonymised registry, published online by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).
Study period: 2 years starting from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2018.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Couples underwent IVF/ ICSI with fresh SET due to unexplained or tubal infertility. Cycles with male factor, donor sperm and preimplantation genetic testing were excluded.
Female age was grouped to < 35 years, 35-39 years and 40-44 years; male age to < 35 years (control group), 35-39 years, 40-44 years, 45-50 years, 51-55 years and >55 years.
Chi-square to compare binominal data; multiple logistic regression to find correlation of male and female age on LBR adjusting confounders.
Main results and the role of chance
Overall, LBR per SET declined from 39.1% in men <35 years (control group) to 25.9% (p < 0.0001), 23.0% (p < 0.0001), 22.9% (p < 0.0001) and 25.4% (p = 0.002) in 40-44, 45-50, 51-55 and >55 years, respectively.
However, in the subgroups of women <35 years, the LBRs were no different whether men were of < 35 (41.3%), 40-45 (40.8%) or > 55 (41.7%) years. Similar trend was observed in women aged 40-44 years: LBRs were 12.3%, 11.9%, and 17.4% in men aged <35, 40-44, and >55 year, respectively. Only in women aged 35-40 years, LBRs dropped from 32.8% in men aged <35 years down to 27.9% (p = 0.004), 28.1% (p = 0.04), 28.7% (p = 0.33) and 25% (p = 0.22) in 40-44, 45-50, 51-55 and >55 years, respectively. The findings remained the same with ICSI only cycles.
Individually, male age, female age, treatment-type (IVF or ICSI) and day of transfer were significantly correlated with LBR. Overall, after adjusting for confounders, both male (p = 0.01) and female’s age (p < 0.0001) remained independently related to LBRs.; male age did not correlate with LBRs in women aged <35 years or 40-44 years.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Information on ovarian reserve and treatment protocols were not available. However, this may have little impact, given large population studied. Exclusion of male infertility might have reduced the ‘effect-size’ but was important to eliminate non-age-related male factors, in order to assess only men’s age on the pregnancy outcome.
Wider implications of the findings
Oocytes in women <35 appear to reduce the negative impact of older sperm on LBR, but not in women 35-39 years of age. This is useful information when counselling couples and in fertility education setting. Further research is needed to clarity the mechanism underlying our findings.

Abstract
e18058 Background: The presence of extranodal extension (ENE) in oral cavity cancer is associated with a higher risk of distant metastasis and worse overall survival (OS). Trials show that patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer and ENE benefit from concurrent chemoradiation over radiation therapy alone.We explored whether degree of ENE impacts survival outcomes in individuals with oral cavity cancer. Methods: From an IRB-approved database of 303 pts with locally advanced oral cavity cancer treated with surgical resection between 2001-2020, patients with pathologic ENE who received adjuvant treatment were included. Patient demographics, tumor staging, treatment information, disease recurrence, and survival were collected. Surgical slides were reviewed to confirm the extent of ENE. All staging was updated to AJCC 8th edition. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to relate patient, tumor, or treatment characteristics with either disease-free survival (DFS, composite of disease recurrence and death) or OS, from the time of radiation therapy completion. ENE was analyzed as both a dichotomous variable (major if > 2 mm, minor if ≤2 mm) and as a continuous variable in the subset of patients for whom exact ENE extent could be confirmed. Results: A total of 113 patients were identified who underwent surgery and adjuvant therapy for advanced oral cavity cancer with ENE, with 35 having major ENE and 78 having minor ENE. Forty-one patients had T1-T2 disease while 72 had T3-T4 disease. Additionally, 24 had N2a disease and 89 had N3b disease. Of these, 78 received concurrent chemoradiation while 35 received radiation therapy alone. Ninety-nine patients had pathologic slides available for review to determine exact ENE extent. Median ENE distance was 1 mm (IQR 1-2, range 0.1-10). With a median follow up time of 22.3 months, there were 48 recurrences and 67 deaths. Median DFS was 21.3 months (95%CI 11.1-33.2) and median OS was 29.9 months (95%CI 20.6-66.6). Between major vs minor ENE, there was no statistically significant difference in DFS (HR 1.18, 95%CI 0.72-1.92, p = 0.51) or OS (HR 1.17, 95%CI 0.70-1.96, p = 0.55). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant association between ENE as a continuous variable and DFS (HR 0.97 per mm, 95%CI 0.87-1.4, p = 0.96) or OS (HR 0.96 per mm, 95%CI 0.83-1.11, p = 0.58). The benefit of concurrent chemotherapy on OS was not seen (HR 0.74, 95%CI 0.44-1.22, p = 0.24), though those patients on average had more advanced nodal disease (85% N3b vs 66%). Conclusions: No significant relationship was seen between extent of ENE and DFS or OS in individuals with locally advanced oral cavity cancer. This analysis was limited by the small number of patients, that most patients had ≤2 mm of ENE, and the presence of confounding risk factors such as nodal stage and receipt of chemotherapy. Overall, the effect of the degree of ENE on outcomes in advanced oral cavity cancer remains unclear.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pembrolizumab is an established first-line option for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing programmed death-ligand 1 ≥50%. Durable responses are seen in a subset of patients; however, many derive little clinical benefit. Biomarkers of the systemic inflammatory response predict survival in NSCLC. We evaluated their prognostic significance in patients receiving first-line pembrolizumab for advanced NSCLC. METHODS Patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab for advanced NSCLC with programmed death-ligand 1 expression ≥50% at two regional Scottish cancer centres were identified. Pretreatment inflammatory biomarkers (white cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, albumin, prognostic nutritional index) were recorded. The relationship between these and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were examined. RESULTS Data were available for 219 patients. On multivariate analysis, albumin and neutrophil count were independently associated with PFS (P < 0.001, P = 0.002, respectively) and OS (both P < 0.001). A simple score combining these biomarkers was explored. The Scottish Inflammatory Prognostic Score (SIPS) assigned 1 point each for albumin <35 g/l and neutrophil count >7.5 × 109/l to give a three-tier categorical score. SIPS predicted PFS [hazard ratio 2.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.68-2.52 (P < 0.001)] and OS [hazard ratio 2.33, 95% CI 1.86-2.92 (P < 0.001)]. It stratified PFS from 2.5 (SIPS2), to 8.7 (SIPS1) to 17.9 months (SIPS0) (P < 0.001) and OS from 5.1 (SIPS2), to 12.4 (SIPS1) to 28.7 months (SIPS0) (P < 0.001). The relative risk of death before 6 months was 2.96 (95% CI 1.98-4.42) in patients with SIPS2 compared with those with SIPS0-1 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS SIPS, a simple score combining albumin and neutrophil count, predicts survival in patients with NSCLC receiving first-line pembrolizumab. Unlike many proposed prognostic scores, SIPS uses only routinely collected pretreatment test results and provides a categorical score. It stratifies survival across clinically meaningful time periods that may assist clinicians and patients with treatment decisions. We advocate validation of the prognostic utility of SIPS in this and other immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment settings.

Abstract
Introduction Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is increasingly utilized for patients with recurrent and metastatic sarcoma. SBRT affords the potential to overcome the relative radioresistance of sarcomas through delivery of a focused high biological effective dose (BED) as an alternative to invasive surgery. We report local control outcomes after metastatic sarcoma SBRT based on radiation dose and histology. Methods From our IRB-approved single-institution registry, all patients treated with SBRT for metastatic sarcoma between 2014 and 2020 were identified. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate local control and overall survival at 1 and 2 years. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to determine optimal BED using an α/β ratio of 3. Local control was compared by SBRT dose using the BED cut point and evaluated by histology. Results Forty-two patients with a total of 138 lesions met inclusion criteria. Median imaging follow up was 7.73 months (range 0.5-35.0). Patients were heavily pre-treated with systemic therapy. Median SBRT prescription was 116.70 Gy BED (range 66.70-419.30). Desmoplastic small round cell tumor, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and small round blue cell sarcomas were classified as radiosensitive (n = 63), and all other histologies were classified as radioresistant (n = 75). Local control for all lesions was 66.7% (95% CI, 56.6-78.5) at 1 year and 50.2% (95% CI, 38.2-66.1) at 2 years. Stratifying by histology, 1- and 2-year local control rates were 65.3% and 55.0%, respectively, for radiosensitive, and 68.6% and 44.5%, respectively, for radioresistant histologies (p = 0.49). The ROC cut point for BED was 95 Gy. Local control rates at 1- and 2-years were 75% and 61.6%, respectively, for lesions receiving >95 Gy BED, and 46.2% and 0%, respectively, for lesions receiving <95 Gy BED (p = 0.01). On subgroup analysis, local control by BED > 95 Gy was significant for radiosensitive histologies (p = 0.013), and trended toward significance for radioresistant histologies (p = 0.25). Conclusion There is a significant local control benefit for sarcoma SBRT when a BED > 95 Gy is used. Further investigation into the dose-response relationship is warranted to maximize the therapeutic index.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between hysterectomy with conservation of one or both adnexa and ovarian and tubal cancer. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Thirteen NHS Trusts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. POPULATION A total of 202 506 postmenopausal women recruited between 2001 and 2005 to the UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS) and followed up until 31 December 2014. METHODS Multiple sources (questionnaires, hospital notes, Hospital Episodes Statistics, national cancer/death registries, ultrasound reports) were used to obtain accurate data on hysterectomy (with conservation of one or both adnexa) and outcomes censored at bilateral oophorectomy, death, ovarian/tubal cancer diagnosis, loss to follow up or 31 December 2014. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the association. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Invasive epithelial ovarian and tubal cancer (WHO 2014) on independent outcome review. RESULTS Hysterectomy with conservation of one or both adnexa was reported in 41 912 (20.7%; 41 912/202 506) women. Median follow up was 11.1 years (interquartile range 9.96-12.04), totalling >2.17 million woman-years. Among women who had undergone hysterectomy, 0.55% (231/41 912) were diagnosed with ovarian/tubal cancer, compared with 0.59% (945/160 594) of those with intact uterus. Multivariable analysis showed no evidence of an association between hysterectomy and invasive epithelial ovarian/tubal cancer (hazard ratio 0.98, 95% CI 0.85-1.13, P = 0.765). CONCLUSIONS This large cohort study provides further independent validation that hysterectomy is not associated with alteration of invasive epithelial ovarian and tubal cancer risk. These data are important both for clinical counselling and for refining risk prediction models. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Hysterectomy does not alter risk of invasive epithelial ovarian and tubal cancer.

Abstract
Studying spin-momentum correlations in hadronic collisions offers a glimpse into a three-dimensional picture of proton structure. The transverse single-spin asymmetry for midrapidity isolated direct photons in p^{↑}+p collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Because direct photons in particular are produced from the hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force, this measurement is a clean probe of initial-state spin-momentum correlations inside the proton and is in particular sensitive to gluon interference effects within the proton. This is the first time direct photons have been used as a probe of spin-momentum correlations at RHIC. The uncertainties on the results are a 50-fold improvement with respect to those of the one prior measurement for the same observable, from the Fermilab E704 experiment. These results constrain gluon spin-momentum correlations in transversely polarized protons.

Abstract
We implement parallel versions of the generalized atmospheric Rosenbluth methods and Wang-Landau algorithms for stars and for acyclic uniform branched networks in the square lattice. These are models of monodispersed branched polymers, and we estimate the star vertex exponents σ_{f} for f stars, and the entropic exponent γ_{G} for networks with comb and brush connectivity in two dimensions. Our results verify the predicted (but not rigorously proven) exact values of the vertex exponents and we test the scaling relation [B. Duplantier, J. Stat.

Abstract
Itaconate (ITA) is an emerging powerhouse of innate immunity with therapeutic potential that is limited in its ability to be administered in a soluble form. We developed a library of polyester materials that incorporate ITA into polymer backbones resulting in materials with inherent immunoregulatory behavior. Harnessing hydrolytic degradation release from polyester backbones, ITA polymers resulted in the mechanism specific immunoregulatory properties on macrophage polarization in vitro. In a functional assay, the polymer-released ITA inhibited bacterial growth on acetate. Translation to an in vivo model of biomaterial associated inflammation, intraperitoneal injection of ITA polymers demonstrated a rapid resolution of inflammation in comparison to a control polymer silicone, demonstrating the value of sustained biomimetic presentation of ITA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In many countries a widening imbalance exists between radiographer workforce supply and demand. Improving retention is a rapid method of workforce expansion which is gaining importance with policy makers and providers. To better understand the current leaver profile, this study aimed to identify why radiographers leave the NHS early, and what incentives are important in their decision to stay. METHODS A qualitative framework methodology used semi-structured telephone interviews to explore the perspectives of radiography managers, radiographers who have left the NHS, and those considering leaving. Purposive sampling ensured representation across radiography professional groups, geographical and organisational diversity, and stages of career. RESULTS Three over-arching themes were identified across all radiographer professional groups (n = 44): 1) Challenging working patterns and the impact on employee health and wellbeing; 2) Lack of flexibility in working terms and conditions; 3) Lack of timely career progression and access to CPD, and the need to feel valued. Radiographers were keen to express how they 'loved being a radiographer'; small concessions and changes to workplace culture might be the incentive to remain in radiography that some were clearly searching for. Manager participants recognised the need to offer greater flexibility in working patterns but this was challenging within financial and service delivery constraints. CONCLUSIONS While some influencing factors varied between radiographer professional groups, the three themes were consistent across participants. Failure to address these concerns will exacerbate the loss of experienced and highly trained staff from the NHS at a time when demand for services continues to rise. IMPACT ON PRACTICE Recommendations are presented related to three primary themes which will be a catalyst for sharing of best practice between radiology and radiotherapy centres.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, there has been an increasing number of trials of medications for fragile X syndrome (FXS). In order to be adequately powered, trials have involved many centres around the world with relatively small numbers of participants recruited at each site. This study aims to understand the barriers to, and how best to facilitate participation in, medication trials in order to improve recruitment and the experience of participants with FXS. METHODS A mixed methods design was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Participants were invited to participate through the UK Fragile X Society, a local mailing list and through social media. Those who agreed to participate completed a quantitative questionnaire and indicated whether they would be willing to participate in a follow-up focus group. RESULTS The questionnaire was completed by 328 individuals who either had FXS, or were a parent, carer or family member of an individual with FXS. Over two-thirds of participants reported concern about side effects, while over one-third mentioned swallowing tablets, blood tests, financial aspects and travel as barriers to participation. Focus groups with 12 individuals highlighted themes of trial challenges, strategies to overcome these and motivating factors to participate. CONCLUSIONS Many of the factors, which potentially negatively influence participation in a clinical trial for FXS, could be mitigated in relatively simple ways. Easily accessible information, particularly about safety issues, the research team and the trial environment should be standard practice. Desensitisation programmes for blood testing, provision of different preparations of medication (e.g. liquid) and use of a combination of local, remote and site visits to reduce travel and time should also be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Estrogen is a well-established risk factor for various cancers. It causes endometrial proliferation, which is assessed routinely as endometrial thickness (ET) using transvaginal ultrasound (TVS). Only one previous study, restricted to endometrial and breast cancer, has considered ET and the risk of non-endometrial cancer. The aim of this study was to explore the association between baseline and serial ET measurements and nine non-endometrial hormone-sensitive cancers, in postmenopausal women, using contemporary statistical methodology that attempts to minimize the biases typical of endogenous serial data. METHODS This was a cohort study nested within the UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS). In the ultrasound arm of UKCTOCS, 50639 postmenopausal women, aged 50-74, underwent annual TVS examination, of whom 38 105 had a valid ET measurement, no prior hysterectomy and complete covariate data, and were included in this study. All women were followed up through linkage to national cancer registries. The effect of ET on the risk of six estrogen-dependent cancers (breast, ovarian, colorectal, bladder, lung and pancreatic) was assessed using joint models for longitudinal biomarker and time-to-event data, and Cox models were used to assess the association between baseline ET measurement and these six cancers in addition to liver cancer, gastric cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). All models were adjusted for current hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) use, body mass index, age at last menstrual period, parity and oral contraceptive pill use. RESULTS The 38 105 included women had a combined total of 267 567 (median, 8; interquartile range, 5-9) valid ET measurements. During a combined total of 407 838 (median, 10.9) years of follow-up, 1398 breast, 351 endometrial, 381 lung, 495 colorectal, 222 ovarian, 94 pancreatic, 79 bladder, 62 gastric, 38 liver cancers and 52 NHLs were registered. Using joint models, a doubling of ET increased significantly the risk of breast (hazard ratio (HR), 1.21; 95% CI, 1.09-1.36; P = 0.001), ovarian (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.06-1.82; P = 0.018) and lung (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.02-1.54; P = 0.036) cancers. There were no statistically significant associations between ET and the remaining six cancers. CONCLUSION Postmenopausal women with high/increasing ET on TVS are at increased risk of breast, ovarian and lung cancer. It is important that clinicians are aware of these risks, as TVS is a common investigation. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research has indicated the neuroprotective potential of the Mediterranean diet. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet has shown preventative potential for Alzheimer's disease incidence and prevalence, yet few studies have investigated the impact of Mediterranean diet adherence on the hallmark protein; beta-amyloid. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between Mediterranean diet adherence and beta-amyloid deposition in a cohort of healthy older Australian women. DESIGN This study was a cross-sectional investigation of participants from the longitudinal, epidemiologically sourced Women's Healthy Ageing Project which is a follow-up of the Melbourne Women's Midlife Health Project. SETTING Assessments were conducted at the Centre for Medical Research, Royal Melbourne Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. F-18 Florbetaben positron emission tomography scanning was conducted at the Austin Centre for PET in Victoria, Australia. PARTICIPANTS One hundred and eleven Women's Healthy Ageing Project participants were included in the study. MEASUREMENTS Mediterranean diet adherence scores for all participants were calculated from the administration of a validated food frequency questionnaire constructed by the Cancer Council of Victoria. Beta-amyloid deposition was measured using positron emission tomography standardised uptake value ratios. RESULTS Gamma regression analysis displayed no association between Mediterranean diet adherence and beta-amyloid deposition. This result was consistent across APOE-ε4 +/- cohorts and with the inclusion of covariates such as age, education, body mass index and cognition. CONCLUSIONS This study found no association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and beta-amyloid deposition in a cohort of healthy Australian women.

Abstract
Abstract
A multilaboratory study was conducted to compare the VIDAS®Listeria monocytogenes II (LMO2) immunoassay and the standard cultural methods for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods. Five food types—vanilla ice cream, brie cheese, cooked roast beef, frozen green beans, and frozen tilapia fish—at 3 levels were analyzed by each method. A total of 26 laboratories representing government and industry participated. In this study, 1404 test portions were analyzed of which 1152 were used in the statistical analysis. There were 448 positive by the VIDAS LMO2 assay and 457 positive by the standard culture methods. A χ2 analysis of each of the 5 food types, at the 3 inoculation levels tested, was performed. The resulting χ2 value, 0.36, indicates that overall, there are no statistical differences between the VIDAS LMO2 assay and the standard methods at the 5% level of significance.

Abstract
The VIDAS Immuno-concentration Salmonella (ICS)/VIDAS Salmonella (SLM) immunoassay method for the detection of Salmonella was compared to the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM)/AOAC culture method in a collaborative study. Thirty-two laboratories participated in the evaluation. Each laboratory tested one or more of the 6 test products: milk chocolate, nonfat dry milk, dried whole egg, soy flour, ground black pepper, and ground raw turkey. The 2 methods were in agreement for 1266 of the 1440 samples. Of the 174 samples not in agreement, 69 were VIDAS ICS/SLM-positive and BAM/AOAC-negative and 105 were VIDAS ICS/SLM-negative and BAM/AOAC-positive.
