Abstract
We present a case of previously unclassified duplicated gallbladder which posed a surgical challenge intraoperatively by mimicking a choledochal cyst. An intraoperative cholangiogram was performed followed by a simple cholecystectomy. No further dissection was performed to avoid bile duct injury and complication from the unconventional anatomy. Postoperative imaging and histology, followed by the second operation confirmed findings consistent with the duplicated gallbladder. Through this case, we have demonstrated the principles of safe cholecystectomy and the importance of a staged approach in an unanticipated encounter of anatomical uncertainty, as well as the description of a new variant of duplicated gallbladder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the Phase I/III IMpower133 study, first-line atezolizumab plus carboplatin and etoposide (CP/ET) treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival versus placebo plus CP/ET. We explored patient and disease characteristics associated with long-term survival in IMpower133, and associations of differential gene expression and SCLC-A (ASCL1-driven), SCLC-N (NEUROD1-driven), SCLC-P (POU2F3-driven), and SCLC-inflamed (SCLC-I) transcriptional subtypes with long-term survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with previously untreated ES-SCLC were randomized 1:1 to four 21-day cycles of CP/ET with atezolizumab or placebo. Long-term survivors (LTS) were defined as patients who lived ≥ 18 months post randomization. A generalized linear model was used to evaluate the odds of living ≥ 18 months. Differential gene expression was analyzed using RNA-sequencing data in LTS and non-LTS. OS was assessed by T-effector and B-cell gene signature expression. Distribution of SCLC transcriptional subtypes was assessed in LTS and non-LTS. RESULTS More LTS were in the atezolizumab arm (34%) than in the placebo arm (20%). The odds ratio for living ≥ 18 months in the atezolizumab arm versus the placebo arm was 2.1 (P < 0.03). Enhanced immune-related signaling was seen in LTS in both arms. Exploratory OS analyses showed atezolizumab treatment benefit versus placebo across T-effector and B-cell gene signature expression subgroups. A higher proportion of LTS than non-LTS in both arms had the SCLC-I subtype; this difference was particularly pronounced in the atezolizumab arm. CONCLUSION These exploratory analyses suggest that long-term survival is more likely with atezolizumab than placebo in ES-SCLC, confirming the treatment benefit of the IMpower133 regimen.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Pulmonary function of lung cancer patients can significantly change along the radiation therapy (RT) course. Scholars have synthesized lung function maps from computed tomography (CT) images. Still, there is lack of study exploring the feasibility of generating lung perfusion information from cone-beam CT (CBCT). Our study aims to fill up this gap in the body of literatures. MATERIALS/METHODS One-hundred-and-six pairs of planning CT and CBCT images of thoracic cancer patients from XX hospital were collected retrospectively. All CT images were registered to CBCT with a deformable algorithm, and referred as deformed planning CT (dCT). A 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) model built with cycle generative adversarial network (cycle-GAN) was trained to correct CBCT image artifacts and HU value discrepancies. The corrected CBCT was named enhanced CBCT (eCBCT) in this study. All CBCT, eCBCT and dCT images were then input to a pre-trained CT-to-perfusion deep learning (DL) model to synthesize perfusion images (PI), namely PICBCT, PIeCBCT and PIdCT respectively. For model training, 80 image pairs were assigned to the training set while others to the testing set. dCT and PIdCT were respectively regarded as the ground truth in two consecutive models. One extra validation case acquired with SPECT perfusion scan was collected for model performance test. Quantitative evaluation was done between the ground truth and the synthesized images. Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and mean absolute error (MAE) were computed to assess efficacy of CBCT enhancement. Correlation (R) and Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) were used to evaluate voxel-wise and function-wise concurrence in CBCT-derived perfusion mapping. RESULTS In CBCT enhancement, [eCBCT-dCT] pairs demonstrated higher agreement than [CBCT-dCT] pairs. Quantitatively, PSNR and MAE were improved from 21.10±1.60 to 24.08±1.76, and 68.99±13.51 to 47.06±11.31 (p<0.01), respectively. For perfusion translation, higher correlation was demonstrated in both voxel-wise and function-wise evaluation within [PIeCBCT-PIdCT] than [PICBCT-PIdCT]. R correlation increased from 0.84±0.09 to 0.89±0.06 (p<0.01), whereas DSC in high-functional regions increased from 0.77±0.06 to 0.82±0.05 (p<0.01). In the validation case, strong correlation was observed between SPECT perfusion scan and PIeCBCT, with R increasing from 0.57 to 0.65 when compared to PICBCT. CONCLUSION We proposed a novel DL framework that synthesized perfusion images from fractionally acquired CBCT. Our framework met the clinical needs in providing real-time lung perfusion maps. It can be used to track the continuously changing pulmonary function status throughout the RT course using routinely scanned CBCT, without additional imaging modalities. The framework can facilitate functionally guided adaptive radiation therapy by providing immediate pulmonary function information.

Abstract
Understanding host-microbial interactions in the rumen and its influence on desirable production traits may lead to potential microbiota manipulation or genetic selection for improved cattle feed efficiency. This study investigated the host transcriptome and its correlation with the rumen archaea and bacteria differential abundance of two pure beef cattle breeds (Angus and Charolais) and one composite beef hybrid (Kinsella) divergent for residual feed intake (RFI; low-RFI vs. high-RFI). Using RNA-Sequencing of rumen tissue and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, differentially expressed genes (FDR ≤ 0.05, |log2(Fold-change) >|2) and differentially abundant (p-value < 0.05) archaea and bacteria amplicon sequence variants (ASV) were determined. Significant correlations between gene expression and ASVs (p-value < 0.05) were determine using Spearman correlation. Interesting associations with muscle contraction and the modulation of the immune system were observed for the genes correlated with bacterial ASVs. Potential functional candidate genes for feed efficiency status were identified for Angus (CCL17, CCR3, and CXCL10), Charolais (KCNK9, GGT1 and IL6), and Kinsella breed (ESR2). The results obtained here provide more insights regarding the applicability of target host and rumen microbial traits for the selection and breeding of more feed efficient beef cattle.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is currently unknown which method of cystic duct closure is most effective at reducing the risk of bile leak after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aims of this work were to determine the most common closure methods used in the UK and review available evidence on which method has the lowest risk of bile leak. METHODS We conducted an online survey through the Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeons (AUGIS). We also undertook a systematic review using PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library for studies that compared different methods for cystic duct occlusion and reported postoperative bile leak. FINDINGS There was significant variation in practice between consultant surgeons. For routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy metal clips were used most (64%) followed by locking polymer clips (33%) and suture ties (3%). In cases of a dilated cystic duct, preferences were locking polymer clips (60%), suture ties (30%) and metal clips (5%). We included six studies in our review with a total of 8,011 patients. Metal clips were associated with an increased odds of bile leak compared with locking polymer clips (OR 5.66, 95% CI 1.13-28.41, p=0.04) or suture ties (OR 4.17, 95% CI 0.72-24.31, p=0.12). Most studies were retrospective, unlikely to be adequately powered, and vulnerable to selection bias. CONCLUSIONS Limited available evidence suggests that metal clips have the highest risk of bile leak, but results are not strong enough to recommend a change in current clinical practice. A trial is now required to determine the best method of cystic duct closure.

Abstract
A 75-year-old woman attended a large academic teaching hospital for a computed tomography (CT) of the chest for a T3 N0 M0 epithelioid mesothelioma of the right pleura (to assess treatment response). The malignancy was diagnosed one year previously, and the patient was being treated with second line immunotherapy, Nivolumab (a human immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody) with palliative intent. To date, the patient was showing a partial response to this treatment.
The CT chest incidentally showed locules of gas under the right diaphragm and therefore an urgent CT of the abdomen and pelvis was performed. This scan re-demonstrated a small pneumoperitoneum, but also an incidental finding of pneumatosis involving the hepatic flexure. Prior to Nivolumab treatment, there were no abnormalities noted on the most recent abdominal CT scan.
The patient was admitted to hospital as an emergency under the care of oncology. The patient was entirely asymptomatic with a soft, non-tender abdomen, with both a normal diet and bowel function. Observations including heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and respiratory rate were within normal limits. Blood testing showed a C-reactive protein of 86 mg/L and white cell count of 4.8 10^9. Based on the radiological findings, intravenous fluids and antibiotics were commenced and the patient was restricted to nil intake orally. A surgical review was also requested. Based on surgical advice, the patient was treated conservatively, and was discharged home without complication and no surgical follow up.

Abstract
Summary The aim of our study was to clarify the association between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and postoperative outcomes in people without an existing diagnosis of diabetes. Half a million adults were recruited into the UK Biobank prospective cohort study between March 2006 and October 2010. We divided participants into three groups: no diagnosis of diabetes and HbA1c < 42 mmol.mol−1; no diagnosis of diabetes and elevated HbA1c (≥ 42 mmol.mol−1 with no upper limit); and prevalent diabetes (regardless of HbA1c concentration) at recruitment. We followed up participants by linkage with routinely collected hospital data to determine any surgical procedures undertaken after recruitment and the associated postoperative outcomes. Our main outcome measure was a composite primary outcome of 30‐day major postoperative complications and 90‐day all‐cause mortality. We used logistic regression to estimate the odds of the primary outcome by group. We limited analyses to those who underwent surgery within one year of recruitment (n = 26,653). In a combined effects logistic regression model, participants not known to have diabetes with HbA1c ≥ 42 mmol.mol−1 had increased odds of the primary outcome (OR [95% CI] 1.43 [1.02–2.02]; p = 0.04), when compared with those without diabetes and HbA1c < 42 mmol.mol−1. This effect was attenuated and no longer statistically significant in a direct effects model with adjustment for hyperglycaemia‐related comorbidity (OR [95% CI] 1.37 [0.97–1.93]; p = 0.07). Elevated pre‐operative HbA1c in people without diabetes may be associated with an increased risk of complications, but the association is likely confounded by end‐organ comorbidity. In contrast to previous evidence, our findings suggest that to prevent adverse postoperative outcomes, optimisation of pre‐existing morbidity should take precedence over reducing HbA1c in people without diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To review data on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on interventional radiology (IR) services. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of the available studies was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. IR caseload reduced between 16.8-80%, with elective activity affected more than emergency work. Trainees also experienced a 11-51.9% reduction in case volumes and many were redeployed to critical care. IR departments re-organised operations and personnel, and many continued to offer 24/7 services and support critical care areas through redeployment of staff. The majority of studies report no significant issues with the availability of personal protective equipment and that local or national governing body or radiology society guidelines were followed. CONCLUSION The COVID-19 pandemic reduced case volumes and training opportunities. IR departments showed flexibility in service delivery. The lessons learned offer novel insights into how services and training can be reorganised to ensure that IR continues to thrive.

Abstract
Pork belly quality indicators are economically relevant in the pork industry. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy of the pork shoulder outer subcutaneous fat layer, belly flop angle, and subjective softness scores of the pork belly were measured (N = 144) to determine the accuracy of pork shoulder NIR spectroscopy as a predictor of pork belly softness. The NIR spectra hot carcass estimates explained over 80.0% variability in pork belly softness (80.5%–90.8%), with low prediction error, suggesting that NIR spectroscopy measured in the pork shoulder is an efficient and accurate indicator of pork belly softness to classify pork bellies for specific market demands.

Abstract
In humans, affective states can bias responses to ambiguous information: a phenomenon termed judgment bias (JB). Judgment biases have great potential for assessing affective states in animals, in both animal welfare and biomedical research. New animal JB tasks require construct validation, but for laboratory mice (Mus musculus), the most common research vertebrate, a valid JB task has proved elusive. Here (Experiment 1), we demonstrate construct validity for a novel mouse JB test: an olfactory Go/Go task in which subjects dig for high- or low-value food rewards. In C57BL/6 and Balb/c mice faced with ambiguous cues, latencies to dig were sensitive to high/low welfare housing: environmentally-enriched animals responded with relative 'optimism' through shorter latencies. Illustrating the versatility of this validated JB task across different fields of research, it further allowed us to test hypotheses about the mood-altering effects of cancer in male and female nude mice (Experiment 2). Males, although not females, treated ambiguous cues as intermediate; and males bearing subcutaneous lung adenocarcinomas also responded more pessimistically to these than did healthy controls. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of a valid mouse JB task, and the first demonstration of pessimism in tumor-bearing animals. This task still needs to be refined to improve its sensitivity. However, it has great potential for investigating mouse welfare, the links between affective state and disease, depression-like states in animals, and hypotheses regarding the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie affect-mediated biases in judgment.

Background
There is clinical and prognostic evidence for global longitudinal strain (GLS) and circumferential strain (GCS). A range of techniques exist: 2-dimensional echocardiography (2Decho), 3-dimensional echocardiography (3Decho) and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR).
Purpose
To investigate inter-study repeatability and inter-method comparison of GLS and GCS techniques.
Methods
Volunteers underwent same day scan
rescan 2Decho, 3Decho, 1.5T Siemens CMR (Cine imaging and Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes [DENSE]), 3T Siemens CMR (Cine Imaging and DENSE) and 3T Philips CMR (Tagging and Fast strain-encoding [fSENC]) imaging. Strain was quantified for 2Decho (EchoPAC), 3Decho (TomTec), Feature tracking (FT) for cine imaging (CircleCVI), CIM (University of Auckland) for DENSE and Tag, and Myostrain (Myocardial solutions) for fSENC.
Results
20(6F) volunteers, mean age 33 ± 7 years, mean LVEF 62 ± 4%. All GLS and GCS methods had excellent inter-study agreement (ICC > 0.75) with coefficient of variation (CoV) between 4-8% (Table 1). Median and IQR are presented in Figure 1.
Friedman’s test revealed statistically significant inter-method differences for GLS (χ2 = 66.4,p < 0.0001) and GCS (χ2 = 50.9,p < 0.0001). Post hoc analysis using Dunn’s test with Bonferroni correction demonstrated significant differences:
-GLS: 2Decho vs DENSE 1.5T (p = 0.001) and Myostrain 3T (p = 0.0116); 3Decho vs FT 3T (p = 0.049) and DENSE 1.5T (p < 0.0001); FT 1.5T vs DENSE 1.5T (p = 0.001) and Myostrain 3T (p = 0.01); FT 3T vs Myostrain 3T (p < 0.0001); DENSE 1.5T vs Tag 3T (p = 0.0008) and Myostrain 3T (p < 0.0001); Tag 3T vs Myostrain (p = 0.02).
-GCS: 3Decho vs DENSE 1.5T (P = 0.0005), FT 1.5T (p < 0.001), FT 3T (P < 0.001) and Myostrain (p = 0.003); FT 1.5T vs Tag 3T (p = 0.001), FT 3T vs Myostrain 3T (p = 0.04).
Conclusion
There is excellent interstudy agreement for GLS and GCS methods. However, there are important inter-method differences in absolute values, that need to be considered for clinical application as a surveillance method and longitudinal studies.

Introduction – Imaging derived left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has an important role to guide initiation of medical therapy and device insertion in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Previous studies have reported the correlation and agreement of LVEF in various patient populations, but sparse evidence exists on patients with heart failure referred for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) using 2D and 3D echocardiography (2DE & 3DE) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).
Objectives – To determine the correlation and agreement of LVEF as determined by 2DE, 3DE and CMR in a cohort of HF patients referred for assessment of CRT.
Methods – Patients with suspected HFrEF referred for assessment for CRT therapy were included in this single centre study. Patients underwent 2DE, 3DE and CMR to derive LVEF, LVESV and LVEDV. Correlation was determined with Pearson’s correlation, agreement with Bland-Altman analysis and Cohen’s kappa analysis for agreement using a dichotomous cut off of LVEF ≤35% as a threshold for CRT insertion (Ponikowski, 2016).
Results - 55 patients (mean age 71 ± 9.2, 76% male) were included. The mean LVEF for 2DE, 3DE, CMR and were 32.4 ± 8.6, 32.1 ± 9.6 and 30.3 ± 9.5 respectively. CMR had a significantly lower LVEF compared to 2DE (p = 0.03).
There was good correlation between 3DE & CMR and 2DE & CMR, and excellent correlation between 3DE and 2DE for LVEF (Table 1). There was for trend for CMR to underestimate LVEF compared to 2DE and 3DE, with small biases although wide limits of agreement (Figure 1). There was excellent correlation of LVEDV and LVESV across all 3 techniques. CMR underestimated volumes compared to 2DE and 3DE with large biases and wide LOA.
The kappa coefficient agreement at threshold level for CRT insertion (LVEF ≤35%) was fair for 3DE and CMR (0.379, p = 0.004) and 2DE and CMR (0.462, p = 0.001), and moderate for 3DE and 2DE (0.575, p ≤ 0.001).
Conclusion – Whilst LVEF is not the only indicator to guide CRT insertion, it remains an important imaging parameter for clinical decision making. We observed large biases in left ventricular volumes between 2D, 3D and CMR. However, whilst the overall bias in LVEF is small, the wide limits of agreement (LOA) observed may represent an area of clinical uncertainty, which may impact on the dichotomous imaging threshold for CRT insertion.

Abstract
IMpower133 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02763579), a randomized, double-blind, phase I/III study, demonstrated that adding atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1]) to carboplatin plus etoposide (CP/ET) for first-line (1L) treatment of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) resulted in significant improvement in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) versus placebo plus CP/ET. Updated OS, disease progression patterns, safety, and exploratory biomarkers (PD-L1, blood-based tumor mutational burden [bTMB]) are reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reliably monitoring changes in fatigue is an ongoing concern. OBJECTIVE Evaluate reliable change using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale 5-item version (MFIS-5) in people with MS (PwMS). METHODS The MFIS-5 was administered at three time points in 157 PwMS. Test-retest reliability and reliable change scores were calculated at the 0.70, 0.80, 0.90, and 0.95 confidence intervals. RESULTS Difference scores of 3, 4, 5, and 6 represent statistically meaningful change at the 0.70, 0.80, 0.90, and 0.95 confidence intervals, respectively. CONCLUSION Cut points derived from this study and prior work can help reliably assess changes in fatigue over time.

Abstract
Introduction of thiourethane (TU) oligomer to resin-based dental restorative materials reduces stress and improves fracture toughness without compromising conversion. Localization of TU at the resin-filler interface via silanization procedures may lead to more substantial stress reduction and clinical property enhancements. The objective of this study was to evaluate composite properties as a function of TU-functionalized filler concentration. TU oligomers were synthesized using click-chemistry techniques and subsequently silanized to barium glass filler. Resin-based composites were formulated using varying ratios of TU-functionalized filler and conventional methacrylate-silanized barium filler. Material property testing included thermogravimetric analysis, real-time polymerization kinetics and depth of cure, polymerization stress, stress relaxation and fracture toughness. Clinical property testing included water sorption/solubility, composite paste viscosity, and gloss and surface roughness measured before and after subjecting the samples to 6 h of continuous tooth brushing in a custom-built apparatus using a toothpaste/water mixture. Increasing TU-filler in the composite resulted in as much as a 78% reduction in stress, coupled with an increase in fracture toughness. Conversion was similar for all groups. After simulated tooth brushing, gloss reduction was lower for TU-containing composites and surface roughness was less than or equal to the control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The TROPHY registry has been established to conduct an international multicenter prospective data collection on the surgical management of neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)-related hydrocephalus to possibly contribute to future guidelines. The registry allows comparing the techniques established to treat hydrocephalus, such as external ventricular drainage (EVD), ventricular access device (VAD), ventricular subgaleal shunt (VSGS), and neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL). This first status report of the registry presents the results of the standard of care survey of participating centers assessed upon online registration. METHODS On the standard of treatment forms, each center indicated the institutional protocol of interventions performed for neonatal post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (nPHH) for a time period of 2 years (Y1 and Y2) before starting the active participation in the registry. In addition, the amount of patients enrolled so far and allocated to a treatment approach are reported. RESULTS According to the standard of treatment forms completed by 56 registered centers, fewer EVDs (Y1 55% Y2 46%) were used while more centers have implemented NEL (Y1 39%; Y2 52%) to treat nPHH. VAD (Y1 66%; Y2 66%) and VSGS (Y1 42%; Y2 41%) were used at a consistent rate during the 2 years. The majority of the centers used at least two different techniques to treat nPHH (43%), while 27% used only one technique, 21% used three, and 7% used even four different techniques. Patient data of 110 infants treated surgically between 9/2018 and 2/2021 (13% EVD, 15% VAD, 30% VSGS, and 43% NEL) were contributed by 29 centers. CONCLUSIONS Our results emphasize the varying strategies used for the treatment of nPHH. The international TROPHY registry has entered into a phase of growing patient recruitment. Further evaluation will be performed and published according to the registry protocol.

Abstract
The identification of functional genetic variants and associated candidate genes linked to feed efficiency may help improve selection for feed efficiency in dairy cattle, providing economic and environmental benefits for the dairy industry. This study used RNA-sequencing data obtained from liver tissue from 9 Holstein cows [n = 5 low residual feed intake (RFI), n = 4 high RFI] and 10 Jersey cows (n = 5 low RFI, n = 5 high RFI), which were selected from a single population of 200 animals. Using RNA-sequencing, 3 analyses were performed to identify: (1) variants within low or high RFI Holstein cattle; (2) variants within low or high RFI Jersey cattle; and (3) variants within low or high RFI groups, which are common across both Holstein and Jersey cattle breeds. From each analysis, all variants were filtered for moderate, modifier, or high functional effect, and co-localized quantitative trait loci (QTL) classes, enriched biological processes, and co-localized genes related to these variants, were identified. The overlapping of the resulting genes co-localized with functional SNP from each analysis in both breeds for low or high RFI groups were compared. For the first two analyses, the total number of candidate genes associated with moderate, modifier, or high functional effect variants fixed within low or high RFI groups were 2,810 and 3,390 for Holstein and Jersey breeds, respectively. The major QTL classes co-localized with these variants included milk and reproduction QTL for the Holstein breed, and milk, production, and reproduction QTL for the Jersey breed. For the third analysis, the common variants across both Holstein and Jersey breeds, uniquely fixed within low or high RFI groups were identified, revealing a total of 86,209 and 111,126 functional variants in low and high RFI groups, respectively. Across all 3 analyses for low and high RFI cattle, 12 and 31 co-localized genes were overlapping, respectively. Among the overlapping genes across breeds, 9 were commonly detected in both the low and high RFI groups (INSRR, CSK, DYNC1H1, GAB1, KAT2B, RXRA, SHC1, TRRAP, PIK3CB), which are known to play a key role in the regulation of biological processes that have high metabolic demand and are related to cell growth and regeneration, metabolism, and immune function. The genes identified and their associated functional variants may serve as candidate genetic markers and can be implemented into breeding programs to help improve the selection for feed efficiency in dairy cattle.

Abstract
Background Optimization of an RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) pipeline is critical to maximize power and accuracy to identify genetic variants, including SNPs, which may serve as genetic markers to select for feed efficiency, leading to economic benefits for beef production. This study used RNA-Seq data (GEO Accession ID: PRJEB7696 and PRJEB15314) from muscle and liver tissue, respectively, from 12 Nellore beef steers selected from 585 steers with residual feed intake measures (RFI; n = 6 low-RFI, n = 6 high-RFI). Three RNA-Seq pipelines were compared including multi-sample calling from i) non-merged samples; ii) merged samples by RFI group, iii) merged samples by RFI and tissue group. The RNA-Seq reads were aligned against the UMD3.1 bovine reference genome (release 94) assembly using STAR aligner. Variants were called using BCFtools and variant effect prediction (VeP) and functional annotation (ToppGene) analyses were performed. Results On average, total reads detected for Approach i) non-merged samples for liver and muscle, were 18,362,086.3 and 35,645,898.7, respectively. For Approach ii), merging samples by RFI group, total reads detected for each merged group was 162,030,705, and for Approach iii), merging samples by RFI group and tissues, was 324,061,410, revealing the highest read depth for Approach iii). Additionally, Approach iii) merging samples by RFI group and tissues, revealed the highest read depth per variant coverage (572.59 ± 3993.11) and encompassed the majority of localized positional genes detected by each approach. This suggests Approach iii) had optimized detection power, read depth, and accuracy of SNP calling, therefore increasing confidence of variant detection and reducing false positive detection. Approach iii) was then used to detect unique SNPs fixed within low- (12,145) and high-RFI (14,663) groups. Functional annotation of SNPs revealed positional candidate genes, for each RFI group (2886 for low-RFI, 3075 for high-RFI), which were significantly (P < 0.05) associated with immune and metabolic pathways. Conclusion The most optimized RNA-Seq pipeline allowed for more accurate identification of SNPs, associated positional candidate genes, and significantly associated metabolic pathways in muscle and liver tissues, providing insight on the underlying genetic architecture of feed efficiency in beef cattle.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: IMpower133 (NCT02763579), a global Phase I/III, randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled trial, showed that the addition of atezo (anti-PD-L1) to CE for 1L ES-SCLC led to statistically and clinically significant OS and PFS improvement vs CE alone. Here we report updated OS and exploratory analyses. Methods: Pts with untreated ES-SCLC were randomized 1:1 to receive four 21-day cycles of E (100 mg/m2 IV, days 1-3) + C (AUC 5 mg/mL/min IV, day 1) with atezo (1200 mg IV, day 1) or PBO, followed by maintenance therapy with atezo or PBO until intolerable toxicity, progression or loss of clinical benefit. PD-L1 testing was not required for enrollment. Coprimary endpoints were investigator-assessed PFS (RECIST 1.1) and OS. Interim and final OS analyses were planned for ≈240 and ≈306 events, respectively. OS was significant at the interim analysis. Updated OS, exploratory biomarkers and patterns of disease progression were analyzed. Results: 201 and 202 pts were randomized to receive atezo+CE and PBO+CE, respectively. The median follow-up was 22.9 mo and 302 deaths had occurred. Median OS for the atezo and PBO arms was 12.3 and 10.3 mo, respectively (HR, 0.76 [95% CI: 0.60, 0.95]; descriptive P = 0.0154). At the 18-mo landmark, the OS rate was 13% higher with atezo+CE than with PBO+CE (Table). Exploratory analyses showed treatment benefit with atezo+CE regardless of biomarker status. 181 (90.0%) And 194 (96.0%) pts in the atezo+CE and PBO+CE arms, respectively, had RECIST-defined disease progression. Progression at existing, new or existing and new lesions was numerically lower with atezo+CE than with PBO+CE. Common sites of new lesions included the CNS, lung, lymph node and liver, with similar incidences between arms. Conclusion: Adding atezo to CE continued to provide OS improvement for 1L ES-SCLC in an all-comer population. The updated results of IMpower133 further support this regimen for untreated ES-SCLC.

Abstract
Stingray injuries are rare, mostly causing injuries to the lower extremities but occasionally fatal if there is direct puncture of the thorax, abdomen, or neck. Direct combined stingray injury to the central nervous system has not been reported in the literature. Herein we present the case of a 12-year-old boy who, while wading at the seashore of the Costa Rica's Pacific Ocean, sustained a combined oblique penetrating injury to the C6 vertebra caused by a Stingray. He initially presented to the hospital with a complete asymmetric right C6/left T1 ASIA A examination, priapism, and loss of anal sphincter tone. Imaging revealed fracture of the posterior elements of C6 with an oblique trajectory into the left radicular foramen. T2W images did not reveal anatomical section but rather edema and minor bleeding in the epidural space. The patient underwent medical management and serial imaging. During the next 3 months, there was recovery of sensation on the right hemi body, bilateral paresthesias and asymmetric progressive improvement in strength on both legs. Acute care management and midterm term follow up are provided, along with a review of the literature for salient management considerations when evaluating and treating combined penetrating and envenomation injuries caused by stingrays. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such injury to the spine.

Abstract
Lack of access to healthcare services for people living in the Circumpolar North may have important consequences for their health and well-being, both in terms of the actual treatment and other possible health-related consequences intertwined with their life situation. The aim of the present study was to identify the specific challenges to healthcare service delivery and access for populations in the Circumpolar North that are addressed in contemporary literature. A scoping review of literature published between 2005 and 2016 was conducted and 43 articles were selected for inclusion into the review. The review findings address 4 main themes identified in the literature: (1) the influence of physical geography, (2) healthcare provider-related barriers, (3) the importance of culture and language and (4) the impact of systemic factors. The review of the literature enabled us to identify existing gaps in both health service access and issues discussed in the available literature, particularly for informing healthcare services in the Circumpolar North, as well as point towards opportunities for future research. The thematic findings drawn from interdisciplinary and international literature inform understandings of the impact of health system barriers on healthcare services and the opportunities for Northern residents to support their own health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The addition of atezolizumab to carboplatin and etoposide (CP/ET) significantly improved progression-free and overall survival for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in the IMpower133 study (NCT02763579). We have evaluated adverse events (AEs) and patient-reported outcomes in IMpower133 to assess the benefit-risk profile of this regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received four 21-day cycles of CP/ET plus intravenous atezolizumab 1200 mg or placebo (induction phase), followed by atezolizumab or placebo (maintenance phase) until progression or loss of benefit. AEs were assessed and patient-reported outcomes were evaluated every 3 weeks during treatment using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and QLQ-LC13. RESULTS Overall, 394 patients were assessable for safety in the induction phase and 318 in the maintenance phase. The frequency of AEs, grade 3-4 AEs, and serious AEs was similar between arms in both phases. Immune-related AEs were more frequent in the atezolizumab arm during both induction (28% versus 17%; leading to atezolizumab/placebo interruption 9% versus 5%, leading to withdrawal 4% versus 0%) and maintenance (26% versus 15%; leading to atezolizumab/placebo interruption, 3% versus 2%, leading to withdrawal 1% versus 1%), most commonly rash (induction 11% versus 9%, maintenance 14% versus 4%), and hypothyroidism (induction 4.0% versus 0%, maintenance 10% versus 1%). Changes in patient-reported treatment-related symptoms commonly associated with quality of life impairment were generally similar during induction and most of the maintenance phase. Patient-reported function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) improved in both arms after initiating treatment, with more pronounced and persistent HRQoL improvements in the atezolizumab arm. CONCLUSIONS In patients with ES-SCLC, atezolizumab plus CP/ET has a comparable safety profile to placebo plus CP/ET, and the addition of atezolizumab did not adversely impact patient-reported HRQoL. These data demonstrate the positive benefit-risk profile of first-line atezolizumab plus CP/ET in ES-SCLC and further support this regimen as a new standard of care in this setting.
