Abstract
BACKGROUND Disparities in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are well-documented among different racial/ethnic groups and between sex/genders. Neuropsychological assessment provides important information about cognitive changes and can offer valuable insights into disparities. However, neuropsychological measures must be comparable across racial/ethnic and sex/gender groups to accurately interpret disparities. OBJECTIVES To evaluate measurement invariance (equivalence) of the Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite (PACC) and the Cognitive Function Index across racial/ethnic, sex/gender, and β-amyloid (Aβ) status groups. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS Cross-sectional analysis of screening data from the Anti-Amyloid in Asymptomatic AD (A4) Study. The study enrolled participants aged 65-85 from sites across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan. MEASUREMENTS Participants completed the PACC and the Cognitive Function Index. Participants classified as cognitively normal also underwent a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan to determine Aβ status. RESULTS Participants self-identified as non-Hispanic White (n=5241), non-Hispanic Black (n=267), Asian (n=228), or Hispanic White (n=225) as well as male (n=2885) or female (n=3076). Among those who underwent a PET scan, 3115 were classified as Aβ- and 1309 were classified as Aβ+. We found support for a one-factor model for both the PACC and Cognitive Function Index across the full sample and in samples stratified by race/ethnicity, sex/gender, and Aβ status. The one-factor model of the PACC and Cognitive Function Index demonstrated scalar measurement invariance across racial/ethnic, sex/gender, and Aβ status groups. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that performance on the PACC and Cognitive Function Index can be compared across the racial/ethnic, sex/gender, and Aβ status groups examined in this study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether arterial stiffness (AS) differs between healthy women and women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) managed by different treatment modalities. METHODS This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study comparing AS in pregnancies complicated by GDM and low-risk controls. AS was assessed by recording aortic pulse-wave velocity (AoPWV), brachial augmentation index (BrAIx) and aortic augmentation index (AoAIx) using the Arteriograph® at four gestational-age windows: 24 + 0 to 27 + 6 weeks (W1); 28 + 0 to 31 + 6 weeks (W2); 32 + 0 to 35 + 6 weeks (W3) and ≥ 36 + 0 weeks (W4). Women with GDM were considered both as a single group and as subgroups stratified by treatment modality. Data were analyzed using a linear mixed model on each AS variable (log-transformed) with group, gestational-age window, maternal age, ethnicity, parity, body mass index, mean arterial pressure and heart rate as fixed effects and individual as a random effect. We compared the group means including relevant contrasts and adjusted the P-values using Bonferroni correction. RESULTS The study population comprised 155 low-risk controls and 127 women with GDM, of whom 59 were treated with dietary intervention, 47 were treated with metformin only and 21 were treated with metformin + insulin. The two-way interaction term of study group and gestational age was significant for BrAIx and AoAIx (P < 0.001), but there was no evidence that mean AoPWV was different between the study groups (P = 0.729). Women in the control group demonstrated significantly lower BrAIx and AoAIx compared with the combined GDM group at W1-W3, but not at W4. The mean difference in log-transformed BrAIx was -0.37 (95% CI, -0.52 to -0.22), -0.23 (95% CI, -0.35 to -0.12) and -0.29 (95% CI, -0.40 to -0.18) at W1, W2 and W3, respectively. The mean difference in log-transformed AoAIx was -0.49 (95% CI, -0.69 to -0.30), -0.32 (95% CI, -0.47 to -0.18) and -0.38 (95% CI -0.52 to -0.24) at W1, W2 and W3, respectively. Similarly, women in the control group also demonstrated significantly lower BrAIx and AoAIx compared with each of the GDM treatment subgroups (diet, metformin only and metformin + insulin) at W1-W3. The increase in mean BrAIx and AoAIx seen between W2 and W3 in women with GDM treated with dietary management was attenuated in the metformin-only and metformin + insulin groups. However, the mean differences in BrAIx and AoAIx between these treatment groups were not statistically significant at any gestational-age window. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancies complicated by GDM demonstrate significantly higher AS compared with low-risk pregnancies regardless of treatment modality. Our data provide the basis for further investigation into the association of metformin therapy with changes in AS and risk of placenta-mediated diseases. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastases have been shown to be more resistant to docetaxel than soft tissue metastases. The proinflammatory chemokine receptor CXCR4 has been shown to confer resistance to docetaxel (DOC) in PCa cells. Balixafortide (BLX) is a protein epitope mimetic inhibitor of CXCR4. Accordingly, we hypothesized that BLX would enhance DOC-mediated antitumor activity in PCa bone metastases. METHODS PC-3 luciferase-labeled cells were injected into the tibia of mice to model bone metastases. Four treatment groups were created: vehicle, DOC (5 mg/kg), BLX (20 mg/kg), and combo (receiving both DOC and BLX). Mice were injected twice daily subcutaneously with either vehicle or BLX starting on Day 1 and weekly intraperitoneally with DOC starting on Day 1. Tumor burden was measured weekly via bioluminescent imaging. At end of study (29 days), radiographs were taken of the tibiae and blood was collected. Serum levels of TRAcP, IL-2, and IFNγ levels were measured using ELISA. Harvested tibiae were decalcified and stained for Ki67, cleaved caspase-3, and CD34 positive cells or microvessels were quantified. RESULTS Tumor burden was lower in the combo group compared to the DOC alone group. Treatment with the combination had no impact on the number of mice with osteolytic lesions, however the area of osteolytic lesions was lower in the combo group compared to the vehicle and BLX groups, but not the DOC group. Serum TRAcP levels were lower in the combo compared to vehicle group, but not the other groups. No significant difference in Ki67 staining was found among the groups; whereas, cleaved caspase-3 staining was lowest in the Combo group and highest in the BLX group. The DOC and combo groups had more CD34+ microvessels than the control and BLX groups. There was no difference between the treatment groups for IL-2, but the combo group had increased levels of IFNγ compared to the DOC group. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that a combination of BAL and DOC has greater antitumor activity in a model of PCa bone metastases than either drug alone. These data support further evaluation of this combination in metastatic PCa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited evidence on what shapes the acceptability of population level dietary and active-travel policies in England. This information would be useful in the decision-making process about which policies should be implemented and how to increase their effectiveness and sustainability. To fill this gap, we explored public and policymakers' views about factors that influence public acceptability of dietary and active-travel policies and how to increase public acceptability for these policies. METHODS We conducted online, semi-structured interviews with 20 members of the public and 20 policymakers in England. A purposive sampling frame was used to recruit members of the public via a recruitment agency, based on age, sex, socioeconomic status and ethnicity. Policymakers were recruited from existing contacts within our research collaborations and via snowball sampling. We explored different dietary and active-travel policies that varied in their scope and focus. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic reflexive analysis with both inductive and deductive coding. RESULTS We identified four themes that informed public acceptability of dietary and active-travel policies: (1) perceived policy effectiveness, i.e., policies that included believable mechanisms of action, addressed valued co-benefits and barriers to engage in the behaviour; (2) perceived policy fairness, i.e., policies that provided everyone with an opportunity to benefit (mentioned only by the public), equally considered the needs of various population subgroups and rewarded 'healthy' behaviours rather than only penalising 'unhealthy' behaviours; (3) communication of policies, i.e., policies that were visible and had consistent and positive messages from the media (mentioned only by policymakers) and (4) how to improve policy support, with the main suggestion being an integrated strategy addressing multiple aspects of these behaviours, inclusive policies that consider everyone's needs and use of appropriate channels and messages in policy communication. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight that members' of the public and policymakers' support for dietary and active-travel policies can be shaped by the perceived effectiveness, fairness and communication of policies and provide suggestions on how to improve policy support. This information can inform the design of acceptable policies but can also be used to help communicate existing and future policies to maximise their adoption and sustainability.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Endurance athletes are at an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) when compared to the general population. However, the risk of stroke in athletes who develop AF is not known.
Purpose
We aimed to assess the risk of stroke in endurance veteran athletes with AF when compared to those that remain in sinus rhythm.
Methods
A questionnaire was broadcasted through social media and sports clubs. Individuals that had competed in at least one competitive event and were ≥40 years old were included. Self-reported demographic, past medical history and training history data were collected and a CHA2DS2-VASc was calculated. Binary logistic regression was used to assess variables associated with AF and stroke.
Results
The survey received 1002 responses from 41 countries across Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North and South America, and 942 were included in the final analysis. The average age was 52.4±8.5 years and 83.7% were male. The most common sports were cycling (n=677, 71.9%), running (n=558, 59.2%) and triathlon (n=245, 26%). There were 190 (20.2%) individuals who reported AF and 26 (2.8%) individuals who reported stroke, of which 14 (53.9%) had AF. Lifetime exercise dose (OR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.03, p=0.02) and swimming (OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.39, p=0.04) were associated with AF in multivariable analysis. AF (OR: 4.18, 95% CI: 1.80, 9.72 p<0.01) was positively associated with stroke, even in individuals with a CHA2DS2-VASc of 0 or 1 (OR: 4.20, 95% CI: 1.83, 9.66, p<0.01) (Figure 1).
Conclusions
This survey provides early evidence that the risk of stroke in veteran endurance athletes who develop AF is not negligible, even in those deemed to be at low risk by CHA2DS2-VASc score. Longitudinal studies are needed to substantiate these findings to inform decisions around anticoagulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Normal pregnancy is characterized by significant changes in maternal hemodynamics that are associated with fetal growth. Pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are associated with large-for-gestational age and macrosomia, but the relationship between maternal hemodynamic parameters and birth weight (BW) among women with GDM has not been established. Our objective was to investigate the influence of maternal hemodynamics on neonatal BW in healthy pregnancies and in those complicated by GDM. METHODS This was a prospective, cross-sectional case-control study of women aged ≥ 16 years with a singleton viable pregnancy, recruited between January 2016 and February 2021 at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester, UK. GDM was defined as a fasting glucose level ≥ 5.3 mmol/L and/or serum glucose level ≥ 7.8 mmol/L, 2 h following a 75-g oral glucose load. We collected data on maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcome, including body mass index (BMI) at booking and BW centile adjusted for gestational age at delivery. Maternal hemodynamic parameters were assessed at 34-42 weeks' gestation using the Arteriograph® and bioreactance techniques. Graphical causal inference methodology was used to identify causal effects of the measured variables on neonatal BW centile. RESULTS Included in the analysis were 141 women with GDM and 136 normotensive non-diabetic pregnant controls. 62% of the women with GDM were managed pharmacologically, with metformin and/or insulin. Variables included in the final model were cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure (MAP), total peripheral resistance (TPR), aortic augmentation index (AIx), aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and BMI at booking. Among the controls, maternal BMI, CO and aortic PWV were significantly associated with neonatal BW. Each SD increase in booking BMI produced an increase of 8.4 BW centiles (P = 0.002), in CO produced an increase of 9.4 BW centiles (P = 0.008) and in aortic PWV produced an increase of 7.1 BW centiles (P = 0.017). We found no significant relationship between MAP, TPR or aortic AIx and neonatal BW. Maternal hemodynamics influenced neonatal BW among the women with GDM in a similar manner to that in the control group, but only the relationship between maternal BMI and neonatal BW reached statistical significance, with a 1-SD increase in BMI producing an increase of 6.1 BW centiles (P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS Maternal BMI, CO and PWV were determinants of BW in our control group. The relationship between maternal hemodynamics and neonatal BW was similar between women with GDM and healthy controls. Our findings therefore suggest that fetal growth restriction in pregnancies complicated by GDM may indicate maternal cardiovascular dysfunction. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Roughly 400,000 people in the U.S. are living with bone metastases, the vast majority occurring in the spine. Metastases to the spine result in fractures, pain, paralysis, and significant health care costs. This predilection for cancer to metastasize to the bone is seen across most cancer histologies, with the greatest incidence seen in prostate, breast, and lung cancer. The molecular process involved in this predilection for axial versus appendicular skeleton is not fully understood, although it is likely that a combination of tumor and local micro-environmental factors plays a role. Immune cells are an important constituent of the bone marrow microenvironment and many of these cells have been shown to play a significant role in tumor growth and progression in soft tissue and bone disease. With this in mind, we sought to examine the differences in immune landscape between axial and appendicular bones in the normal noncancerous setting in order to obtain an understanding of these landscapes. To accomplish this, we utilized mass cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) to examine differences in the immune cell landscapes between the long bone and vertebral body bone marrow from patient clinical samples and C57BL/6J mice. We demonstrate significant differences between immune populations in both murine and human marrow with a predominance of myeloid progenitor cells in the spine. Additionally, cytokine analysis revealed differences in concentrations favoring a more myeloid enriched population of cells in the vertebral body bone marrow. These differences could have clinical implications with respect to the distribution and permissive growth of bone metastases.

Abstract
We discovered a highly virulent variant of subtype-B HIV-1 in the Netherlands. One hundred nine individuals with this variant had a 0.54 to 0.74 log10 increase (i.e., a ~3.5-fold to 5.5-fold increase) in viral load compared with, and exhibited CD4 cell decline twice as fast as, 6604 individuals with other subtype-B strains. Without treatment, advanced HIV-CD4 cell counts below 350 cells per cubic millimeter, with long-term clinical consequences-is expected to be reached, on average, 9 months after diagnosis for individuals in their thirties with this variant. Age, sex, suspected mode of transmission, and place of birth for the aforementioned 109 individuals were typical for HIV-positive people in the Netherlands, which suggests that the increased virulence is attributable to the viral strain. Genetic sequence analysis suggests that this variant arose in the 1990s from de novo mutation, not recombination, with increased transmissibility and an unfamiliar molecular mechanism of virulence.

Abstract
Mental imagery is an important tool in the cognitive control of emotion. The present study tests the prediction that visual imagery can generate and regulate differential fear conditioning via the activation and prioritization of stimulus representations in early visual cortices. We combined differential fear conditioning with manipulations of viewing and imagining basic visual stimuli in humans. We discovered that mental imagery of a fear-conditioned stimulus compared to imagery of a safe conditioned stimulus generated a significantly greater conditioned response as measured by self-reported fear, the skin conductance response, and right anterior insula activity (experiment 1). Moreover, mental imagery effectively down- and up-regulated the fear conditioned responses (experiment 2). Multivariate classification using the functional magnetic resonance imaging data from retinotopically defined early visual regions revealed significant decoding of the imagined stimuli in V2 and V3 (experiment 1) but significantly reduced decoding in these regions during imagery-based regulation (experiment 2). Together, the present findings indicate that mental imagery can generate and regulate a differential fear conditioned response via mechanisms of the depictive theory of imagery and the biased-competition theory of attention. These findings also highlight the potential importance of mental imagery in the manifestation and treatment of psychological illnesses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical trials, although academically accepted as the most effective treatment available for cancer patients, poor accrual to clinical trials remains a significant problem. A clinical trials navigator (CTN) program was piloted where patients and/or their healthcare professionals could request a search and provide a list of potential cancer clinical trials in which a patient may be eligible based on their current status and disease. OBJECTIVES This study examined the outcomes of a pilot program to try to improve clinical trials accrual with a focus on patients at medium to small sized cancer programs. Outcomes examined included patient disposition (referral to and accrual to interventional trials), patient survival, sites of referral to the CTN program. METHODS One 0.5 FTE navigator was retained. Stakeholders referred to the CTN through the Canadian Cancer Clinical Trials Network. Demographic and outcomes data were recorded. RESULTS Between March 2019 and February 2020, 118 patients from across Canada used the program. Seven per cent of patients referred were enrolled onto treatment clinical trials. No available trial excluded 39% patients, and 28% had a decline in their health and died before they could be referred or enrolled onto a clinical trial. The median time from referral to death was 109 days in those that passed. CONCLUSION This novel navigator pilot has the potential to increase patient accrual to clinical trials. The CTN program services the gap in the clinical trials system, helping patients in medium and small sized cancer centres identify potential clinical trials at larger centres.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is most commonly performed using open surgical techniques. Minimal access approaches have reduced the morbidity of many types of surgery, however technical limitations have hindered the widespread adoption of laparoscopic methods for PD. There has been increasing use of surgical robots to facilitate a minimal access approach, motivated by improved visualisation, ergonomics and dexterity compared to standard laparoscopic methods. Methods for the safe introduction of novel techniques are lacking, and the way in which surgical innovations are reported may affect adoption into clinical practice. The aim of this study is to understand how robotic PD has been reported as a surgical innovation.
Method
A systematic review is being conducted by the trainee led RoboSurg Collaborative. A literature search was performed to identify primary research reporting outcomes of robotic PD. Articles are being screened in duplicate by title and abstract, then by full text review. The following data will be extracted: study methodology and rationale; centre, surgeons and patient details; governance and ethical considerations; learning curves; details of the intervention, including modifications; and how outcomes were reported, including use of core outcome sets. The data will be analysed using a narrative synthesis method.
Results
The search identified 1305 articles reporting on robotic pancreas surgery. An interim report of progress will be presented.
Conclusions
A rich narrative synthesis will enable innovators to understand how robotic PD has been reported. This will encourage transparent, methodical, and meaningful reporting of robotic PD, increasing the quality of clinical evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary endocrine therapy may be an alternative treatment for less fit women with oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. This study compared quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes in older women treated with surgery or primary endocrine therapy. METHODS This was a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study of surgery or primary endocrine therapy in women aged over 70 years with operable breast cancer. QoL was assessed using European Organisation for Research and Treatment of cancer QoL questionnaires QLQ-C30, -BR23, and -ELD14, and the EuroQol Five Dimensions 5L score at baseline, 6 weeks, and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for baseline variation in health, fitness, and tumour stage. RESULTS The study recruited 3416 women (median age 77 (range 69-102) years) from 56 breast units. Of these, 2979 (87.2 per cent) had ER-positive breast cancer; 2354 women had surgery and 500 received primary endocrine therapy (125 were excluded from analysis due to inadequate data or non-standard therapy). Median follow-up was 52 months. The primary endocrine therapy group was older and less fit. Baseline QoL differed between the groups; the mean(s.d.) QLQ-C30 global health status score was 66.2(21.1) in patients who received primary endocrine therapy versus 77.1(17.8) among those who had surgery plus endocrine therapy. In the unmatched analysis, changes in QoL between 6 weeks and baseline were noted in several domains, but by 24 months most scores had returned to baseline levels. In the matched analysis, major surgery (mastectomy or axillary clearance) had a more pronounced adverse impact than primary endocrine therapy in several domains. CONCLUSION Adverse effects on QoL are seen in the first few months after surgery, but by 24 months these have largely resolved. Women considering surgery should be informed of these effects.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cognitive training (CT) may be beneficial in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia. However, few studies have qualitatively evaluated CT programmes in dementia. The aim of this analysis was to explore the benefits and barriers to a home-based computerised CT programme for healthy older adults, and people living with MCI or dementia.
Methods
This was a nested qualitative study within a larger feasibility randomised trial of CT. Participants underwent semi-structured interviews after 12 weeks of CT. Where possible, participants were interviewed with their carers. The interview schedule and analysis were underpinned by the health belief model. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, open-coded, and categorised into themes. The analytical framework was developed, and themes were condensed under four major categories: benefits and efficacy, barriers, threat, and behaviour.
Results
37 participants underwent interviews (10 healthy older adults, 4 MCI, 5 dementia, 9 patient-carer dyads [2 MCI, 7 dementia]). CT was feasible and acceptable to participants. Benefits included: enjoyment, improved awareness, benchmarking cognitive function, reassurance of abilities, and giving back control. Barriers were more prevalent amongst those with dementia: problems with technology, frustration, conflict between patients and carers, apathy and lack of insight, anxiety or low mood, and lack of portability. Perceived risk susceptibility of dementia varied between participants. Healthy older adults and MCI perceived the severity of dementia risk as high, which was only partially mitigated by CT. Participants living with dementia valued a more individualised approach to training, accounting for baseline characteristics. For people living with dementia, maintenance was as valued as improvement of cognitive function.
Conclusions
CT was a feasible intervention for healthy older adults, and people living with dementia and MCI. Benefits were present, but the identified barriers need to be addressed for CT to be implemented successfully.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer patients are at increased risk of death from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Cancer and its treatment affect many haematological and biochemical parameters, therefore we analysed these prior to and during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and correlated them with outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with cancer testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in centres throughout the United Kingdom were identified and entered into a database following local governance approval. Clinical and longitudinal laboratory data were extracted from patient records. Data were analysed using Mann-Whitney U test, Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, logistic regression, or linear regression for outcomes. Hierarchical clustering of heatmaps was performed using Ward's method. RESULTS In total, 302 patients were included in three cohorts: Manchester (n = 67), Liverpool (n = 62), and UK (n = 173). In the entire cohort (N = 302), median age was 69 (range 19-93 years), including 163 males and 139 females; of these, 216 were diagnosed with a solid tumour and 86 with a haematological cancer. Preinfection lymphopaenia, neutropaenia and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were not associated with oxygen requirement (O2) or death. Lymphocyte count (P < 0.001), platelet count (P = 0.03), LDH (P < 0.0001) and albumin (P < 0.0001) significantly changed from preinfection to during infection. High rather than low neutrophils at day 0 (P = 0.007), higher maximal neutrophils during COVID-19 (P = 0.026) and higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR; P = 0.01) were associated with death. In multivariable analysis, age (P = 0.002), haematological cancer (P = 0.034), C-reactive protein (P = 0.004), NLR (P = 0.036) and albumin (P = 0.02) at day 0 were significant predictors of death. In the Manchester/Liverpool cohort 30 patients have restarted therapy following COVID-19, with no additional complications requiring readmission. CONCLUSION Preinfection biochemical/haematological parameters were not associated with worse outcome in cancer patients. Restarting treatment following COVID-19 was not associated with additional complications. Neutropaenia due to cancer/treatment is not associated with COVID-19 mortality. Cancer therapy, particularly in patients with solid tumours, need not be delayed or omitted due to concerns that treatment itself increases COVID-19 severity.

Abstract
Abstract
Roughly 400,000 people have bone metastases in the U.S. with the vast majority of these occurring in the spine. The etiology of bone metastasis still remains to be fully elucidated. This study explored the differences in immune landscape between long bone and spine that may contribute to higher rates of bone metastasis to the spine. Spines and femurs from male C57BL6/J mice (N=10) were processed for flow cytometry and immunophenotyping using Mass Cytometry by Time-Of-Flight (CyTOF). The cells were analyzed with CyTOF using a 33-surface protein marker mouse antibody panel. Spines (N=3) and femurs (N=2) from patients were analyzed with CyTOF using the Maxpar Complete Human T cell Immuno-Oncology Panel Set. There are global differences in the immune cell composition between the long bone and spine microenvironment. Flow cytometry revealed slight increases in the CD45+ and Cd11b+ cell populations in the bone marrow of murine spines compared to murine long bone, which are markers for myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Using CyTOF, significant differences in the immune cell landscape between long bone and spine were observed. In the murine long bone, an increase in monocytes/macrophages, myeloid progenitors, granulocytic MDSCs, granulocytes, and mast cells was observed compared to the spine. In the murine spine an elevation of CD8a+ DC cells, classical monocytes, MDSCs, pDCs, memory T helper cells, and NK T cells was seen. Evaluation of human long bone and spine revealed similar trends with a predominance of myeloid progenitor cells and monocytes in the human vertebra compared to the human long bone marrow. Significant differences in the immune microenvironment exist between the spine and long bone marrow in both murine and human samples. This is the first report of significant differences in immune cell populations between different skeletal locations. However, the functional significance of these differences has yet to be determined.

Abstract
AIMS Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an alternative to surgery or whole brain radiotherapy for the control of single or multiple brain metastases in patients with breast cancer. To date, there is no clear consensus on factors that might predict overall survival following SRS. The aim of this study was to assess the overall survival of breast cancer patients with brain metastases treated with SRS at a single centre and to examine the factors that might influence survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with breast cancer and brain metastases, considered suitable for SRS by the regional neuro-oncology multidisciplinary team. All patients were treated at a single National Health Service centre. RESULTS In total, 91 patients received SRS between 2013 and 2017, of whom 15 (16.5%) were alive at the time of analysis. The median overall survival post-SRS was 15.7 months (interquartile range 7.7-23.8 months) with no significant effect of age on survival (67 patients ≤ 65 years, 16.3 months; 26 patients > 65 years, 11.4 months, P = 0.129). The primary tumour receptor status was an important determinant of outcome: 31 oestrogen receptor positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) patients had a median overall survival of 13.8 months, 14 ER+/HER2+ patients had a median overall survival of 21.4 months, 30 ER-/HER2+ patients had a median overall survival of 20.4 months and 16 patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) had a median overall survival of 8.5 months. A larger total volume of tumour treated (>10 cm3), but not the number of individual metastases treated, was associated with worse survival (P = 0.0002) in this series. Patients with stable extracranial disease at the time of SRS had improved overall survival compared with those with progressive extracranial disease (30 patients stable extracranial disease overall survival = 20.1 months versus 33 patients progressive extracranial disease overall survival = 11.4 months; P = 0.0011). Seventeen patients had no extracranial disease at the time of SRS, with a median overall survival of 13.1 months. CONCLUSIONS This single-centre series of consecutive patients with brain metastases from breast cancer, treated with SRS, had a similar overall survival compared with previous studies of SRS. TNBC and ER+/HER2- histology, metastatic volumes >10 cm3 and progressive extracranial disease at the time of SRS were associated with worse survival.

Abstract
Notch plays a protumorigenic role in many cancers including prostate cancer (PCa). Global notch inhibition of multiple Notch family members using γ-secretase inhibitors has shown efficacy in suppressing PCa growth in murine models. However, global Notch inhibition is associated with marked toxicity due to the widespread function of many different Notch family members in normal cell physiology. Accordingly, in the current study, we explored if specific inhibition of Notch1 would effectively inhibit PCa growth in a murine model. The androgen-dependent VCaP and androgen-independent DU145 cell lines were injected subcutaneously into mice. The mice were treated with either control antibody 1B7.11, anti-Notch1 antibody (OMP-A2G1), docetaxel or the combination of OMP-A2G1 and docetaxel. Tumor growth was measured using calipers. At the end of the study, tumors were assessed for proliferative response, apoptotic response, Notch target gene expression, and DNA damage response (DDR) expression. OMP-A2G1 alone inhibited tumor growth of both PCa cell lines to a greater extent than docetaxel alone. There was no additive or synergistic effect of OMP-A2G1 and docetaxel. The primary toxicity was weight loss that was controlled with dietary supplementation. Proliferation and apoptosis were affected differentially in the two cell lines. OMP-A2G1 increased expression of the DDR gene GADD45α in VCaP cells but downregulated GADD45α in Du145 cells. Taken together, these data show that Notch1 inhibition decreases PCa xenograft growth but does so through different mechanisms in the androgen-dependent VCaP cell line vs the androgen-independent DU145 cell line. These results provide a rationale for further exploration of targeted Notch inhibition for therapy of PCa.

Abstract
Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is a crucial method in the diagnostic process for suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), especially when cerebral imaging is negative or inconclusive. CSF cytology (detection of erythrophages or siderophages) is used to determine whether a bloodstained CSF resembles a genuine SAH. Whether erythrophages may develop in vitro after a traumatic puncture in case of delayed CSF analysis is unclear. An in vitro development of erythrophages after traumatic puncture would diminish the diagnostic properties of CSF analysis. We assessed whether erythrophagocytosis is detectable in CSF after an imitated traumatic lumbar puncture. Methods We mimicked a traumatic lumbar puncture by mixing surplus CSF with whole blood from the same patient. From this mixture, cytological specimens were obtained immediately and repeatedly at time intervals of 1 h, until 7 h after mixing, or until the mixture was exhausted. Each cytological specimen was microscopically examined independently by four experienced CSF cytologists for the presence of erythrophages. Results We studied 401 CSF cytological specimens of 96 punctures in 90 patients. We could not identify any erythrophages in all cytological specimens. Fleiss’ Kappa for interrater-reliability was 1.0. Conclusions We did not find evidence for an in vitro erythrophagocytosis after a mimicked traumatic lumbar puncture. Therefore, the occurrence of erythrophages in CSF cytology can be regarded as a reliable sign of an autochthonous bleeding in the subarachnoid space. Our results support the crucial role of CSF analysis in clinical practice in case of a suspected SAH but negative cerebral imaging.

Abstract
Canada has strengthened intellectual property (IP) protections for pharmaceutical drugs several times over the last 3 decades. This study investigates whether the IP changes had an effect on the market exclusivity time of brand products on the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) formulary. We constructed a database that included the first brand approval date for drugs launched between 1974 and 2012, the first ODB listing date of the brand drug, and the first ODB listing date of the generic form of the drug. We then calculated the time of formulary exclusivity to detect any changes in market exclusivity times associated with changes to Canada's IP regimen. There were 595 drugs launched between 1974 and 2012 that were available for analysis. Exclusivity gradually declined from the late 1970s to 1990. Drugs approved in 2004 received 7.6 years of exclusivity, and drugs approved in 2005 received 5 years of exclusivity. Over the time period we analyzed, market exclusivity time of brand drugs experienced marked changes, but we did not detect any systematic effects of Canada's stronger pharmaceutical IP laws on the market exclusivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Simulation-based education (SBE) has emerged as an essential modality for health professions education. One of the central tenants of effective SBE is reflective practice, typically guided by a facilitated debriefing. The debriefing conversation has the possibility of becoming a difficult conversation based on learner and situation-related factors. Difficult debriefing situations may threaten the learning environment, thus requiring an appreciation and understanding of the various ways that learners may react adversely to simulation and debriefing. AIM This article provides a review of the various phenotypes of difficult debriefing situations and a toolbox of proactive and reactive strategies to help guide the simulation educator to manage these situations, with the ultimate goal of achieving learning objectives.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The emergence of the cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis has helped to explain previously poorly understood clinical concepts such as metastases, late tumour recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy. Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis of all types of breast cancer with a more frequent relapse rate and reduced length of survival in metastatic disease. It has been shown to contain a higher proportion of CSCs than other types of breast cancer. Paclitaxel, a taxane in widespread use in breast cancer, induces apoptosis in a ligand-independent manner through the extrinsic apoptosis pathway. cFLIP is both an antagonist of this apoptosis pathway and has the ability to form aggregates that interfere with the ubiquitylation and subsequent degradation of both HIF1α and β-catenin- two molecules involved in CSC-signalling. Using a novel compound targeted against cFLIP, we wanted to assess whether its combination with paclitaxel effectively targeted CSCs, particularly in TNBC.
Methods: In vitro experiments were used to assess the effect on cell viability, mammosphere formation and ALDH+ of both chemotherapy and our novel agent, OH14. We then used siRNA-mediated knockdown of cFLIP to confirm an on-target effect. Annexin V assays were used to assess apoptosis and both Western blotting and qPCR was used to examine the effect of paclitaxel and OH14 on protein levels and gene expression of CSC-signalling pathways. Athymic mice were used to in serial dilution experiments and for in vivo treatmenst with paclitaxel and OH14 on a TNBC cell line.
Results: We established an in vitro model demonstrating that a wide range of chemotherapeutic agents (FEC, Paclitaxel and Docetaxel) increased CSC-like behaviour and the ALDH+ population in a broad range of breast cancer cell lines. A mathematical model demonstrated that chemotherapy increased the absolute number of CSCs after treatment suggesting that CSC-like signaling was being induced. OH14, our novel compound, sensitised Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) cell lines to paclitaxel by increasing its apoptotic effect but had a more profound effect on mammosphere formation and ALDH positivity. This suggests that it preferentially targets CSCs. Serial dilution experiments demonstrated that chemotherapy increased the tumour forming potential of a TNBC cell line in vivo and that this effect was abrogated with OH14. Treatment of the same cell line in vivo demonstrated that paclitaxel +/- OH14 successfully targeted tumours but that the paclitaxel tumours recurred whereas those subject to combined treatment remained undetectable. Further experiments examining CSC signalling showed that HIF1α-mediated signalling was increased by paclitaxel and abrogated by the addition of OH14.
Conclusion: cFLIP has a dual effect in both increasing apoptosis and targeting signaling in TNBC CSCs. In a breast cancer subtype in desperate need of novel therapeutic strategies, targeting cFLIP warrants further investigation and progression towards clinical trials.

Abstract
Proxima Centauri b provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the evolution and nature of terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs. Although Proxima Cen b orbits within its star's habitable zone, multiple plausible evolutionary paths could have generated different environments that may or may not be habitable. Here, we use 1-D coupled climate-photochemical models to generate self-consistent atmospheres for several evolutionary scenarios, including high-O2, high-CO2, and more Earth-like atmospheres, with both oxic and anoxic compositions. We show that these modeled environments can be habitable or uninhabitable at Proxima Cen b's position in the habitable zone. We use radiative transfer models to generate synthetic spectra and thermal phase curves for these simulated environments, and use instrument models to explore our ability to discriminate between possible planetary states. These results are applicable not only to Proxima Cen b but to other terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs. Thermal phase curves may provide the first constraint on the existence of an atmosphere. We find that James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations longward of 10 μm could characterize atmospheric heat transport and molecular composition. Detection of ocean glint is unlikely with JWST but may be within the reach of larger-aperture telescopes. Direct imaging spectra may detect O4 absorption, which is diagnostic of massive water loss and O2 retention, rather than a photosynthetic biosphere. Similarly, strong CO2 and CO bands at wavelengths shortward of 2.5 μm would indicate a CO2-dominated atmosphere. If the planet is habitable and volatile-rich, direct imaging will be the best means of detecting habitability. Earth-like planets with microbial biospheres may be identified by the presence of CH4-which has a longer atmospheric lifetime under Proxima Centauri's incident UV-and either photosynthetically produced O2 or a hydrocarbon haze layer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adverse events due to energy device use in surgical operating rooms are a daily occurrence. These occur at a rate of approximately 1-2 per 1000 operations. Hundreds of operating room fires occur each year in the United States, some causing severe injury and even mortality. The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) therefore created the first comprehensive educational curriculum on the safe use of surgical energy devices, called Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy (FUSE). This paper describes the history, development, and purpose of this important training program for all members of the operating room team. METHODS The databases of SAGES and the FUSE committee as well as personal photographs and documents of members of the FUSE task force were used to establish a brief history of the FUSE program from its inception to its current status. RESULTS The authors were able to detail all aspects of the history, development, and national as well as global implementation of the third SAGES Fundamentals Program FUSE. CONCLUSIONS The written documentation of the making of FUSE is an important contribution to the history and mission of SAGES and allows the reader to understand the idea, concept, realization, and implementation of the only free online educational tool for physicians on energy devices available today. FUSE is the culmination of the SAGES efforts to recognize gaps in patient safety and develop state-of-the-art educational programs to address those gaps. It is the goal of the FUSE task force to ensure that general FUSE implementation becomes multinational, involving as many countries as possible.
