Abstract
BACKGROUND Better understanding of the association between characteristics of patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and outcome is needed to further improve upon patient management. METHODS Immunophenotyping Assessment in a COVID-19 Cohort (IMPACC) is a prospective, observational study of 1164 patients from 20 hospitals across the United States. Disease severity was assessed using a 7-point ordinal scale based on degree of respiratory illness. Patients were prospectively surveyed for 1 year after discharge for post-acute sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC) through quarterly surveys. Demographics, comorbidities, radiographic findings, clinical laboratory values, SARS-CoV-2 PCR and serology were captured over a 28-day period. Multivariable logistic regression was performed. FINDINGS The median age was 59 years (interquartile range [IQR] 20); 711 (61%) were men; overall mortality was 14%, and 228 (20%) required invasive mechanical ventilation. Unsupervised clustering of ordinal score over time revealed distinct disease course trajectories. Risk factors associated with prolonged hospitalization or death by day 28 included age ≥ 65 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.01; 95% CI 1.28-3.17), Hispanic ethnicity (OR, 1.71; 95% CI 1.13-2.57), elevated baseline creatinine (OR 2.80; 95% CI 1.63- 4.80) or troponin (OR 1.89; 95% 1.03-3.47), baseline lymphopenia (OR 2.19; 95% CI 1.61-2.97), presence of infiltrate by chest imaging (OR 3.16; 95% CI 1.96-5.10), and high SARS-CoV2 viral load (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.17-2.00). Fatal cases had the lowest ratio of SARS-CoV-2 antibody to viral load levels compared to other trajectories over time (p=0.001). 589 survivors (51%) completed at least one survey at follow-up with 305 (52%) having at least one symptom consistent with PASC, most commonly dyspnea (56% among symptomatic patients). Female sex was the only associated risk factor for PASC. INTERPRETATION Integration of PCR cycle threshold, and antibody values with demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory/radiographic findings identified risk factors for 28-day outcome severity, though only female sex was associated with PASC. Longitudinal clinical phenotyping offers important insights, and provides a framework for immunophenotyping for acute and long COVID-19. FUNDING NIH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac regeneration is a promising therapeutic option for patients with prior myocardial infarction (MI). Adipose graft transposition procedure (AGTP) is a cardiac reparative therapy consisting of the transposition of a vascularized adipose flap from the autologous pericardium over the epicardial scar area, which has shown to reduce the infarct size and improve the left ventricular function.
Purpose
To assess the impact of the AGTP on the electrophysiological remodeling of the post-MI scar by means of electrophysiological study (EPS), high density (HD) mapping, and 3D contrast-enhanced MRI (ceMRI).
Methods
A lateral MI was induced in 14 Landrace X Large White pigs by coil deployment at the first marginal branch of the circumflex artery. A 3D ceMRI, EPS and endocardial HD mapping were performed 2 (baseline) and 6 weeks post-MI (30 day post-treatment). Subjects were randomized to AGTP (n=8) or sham surgery (n=6) following baseline tests. Voltage and activation maps were blindly analyzed off-line with self-customized ParaView-based software. ceMRI was post-processed with ADAS3D. Conventional bipolar and unipolar voltage cut-offs were used (0.5–1.5mV and 6.7mV, respectively). Conduction velocity (CV) was determined for every pair of contiguous points. Areas of CV were quantified for every 0.2m/s steps (<0.2 - 4 m/s).
Results
At follow-up, and compared to the sham group, the AGTP group showed a significant reduction of the border zone area in both bipolar voltage mapping (−18±50% vs +10±144%, p=0.043) and ceMRI (−2.0±1.7 vs +1.1±2.8g; p=0.047), as well as a reduction in dense scar mass by ceMRI (−1.1±0.7g vs. +0.6±0.9 g, p=0.001). The AGTP group had a significant reduction of the size of very-slow CV areas (<0.2 m/s), compared to the sham group (−3.5±3.4 vs. +1.5±3.8 mm2, p=0.022), without differences in other CV ranges. EPS did not induce ventricular tachycardia in any subject at baseline, and only in 1 of the sham group at the follow-up.
Conclusions
Cardiac reparative therapy with AGTP of post-MI scar reduced the size of border zone tissue and very-slow conduction zones and could provide a protective effect against arrhythmic events in ischemic heart disease.

BACKGROUND
Cardiac regenerative therapy is a promising treatment for patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure. Nevertheless, previous ex-vivo studies have raised concern on the potential increased risk of arrhythmic events following certain cell therapies. Adipose graft transposition procedure (AGTP) is a cardiac reparative therapy consisting in transposing a vascularized adipose flap from the autologous pericardium and placing it over the epicardial scar area and has demonstrated to reduce infarct size and improve the left ventricular ejection fraction in preclinical and human studies.
PURPOSE
To assess the effect of the AGTP on the post-MI scar composition and image-based ventricular tachycardia (VT) corridors detection by means of late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR).
METHODS
A left circumflex artery (first marginal branch) MI was induced in 9 Landrace X Large White Pigs by delivering 1-3 coils. Two weeks post-MI, all subjects underwent a 3 Tesla LGE-CMR and randomized to the AGTP or sham group. LGE-CMR was repeated 30 days post-treatment (6 weeks post-MI). The arrhythmogenic substrate was characterized with an advanced image post-processing tool (ADAS 3D) and included quantification of dense scar and border zone (BZ) mass and detection of ventricular tachycardia (VT) corridors (including corridor scar mass).
RESULTS
The overall scar mass did not differ between scans in the overall population (7.6 ± 3.5 g vs 7.5 ± 2.2 g in the baseline and post-treatment scans, respectively; p = 0.9). Compared to the sham subjects, those receiving AGTP showed an absolute reduction of the total (-3.2 ± 1.4 g vs. +2.4 ± 1.7 g, p = 0.04) and dense scar (-0.9 ± 0.4 g vs. +0.7 ± 0.5 g, p = 0.03). BZ mass tended to decrease in the AGTP group (-2.2 vs 1.63 g; p = 0.06). The AGTP group showed a trend to reduce the number of VT corridors (-1 ± 0.7 vs. +0.4 ± 0.2, p = 0.078) and corridor scar mass (-0.3 ± 0.26 g vs. +0.1 ± 0.1 g, p = 0.11) (figure).
CONCLUSIONS
Cardiac reparative therapy of MI with AGTP reduced dense scar mass, compared to the increase observed in the sham group. The trend to reduce the BZ mass and the number/mass of VT corridors suggests a beneficial effect on the arrhythmic remodeling of the post-MI scar. Abstract Figure. Reduction in corridor"s number

BACKGROUND
Cardiac regenerative therapy is a promising treatment for patients with ischemic heart disease, but there are some concerns on the potential increased risk of arrhythmic events following specific cell therapies. Adipose graft transposition procedure (AGTP) is a cardiac reparative therapy consisting in transposing a vascularized adipose flap from the autologous pericardium and placing it over the epicardial scar area and has demonstrated to reduce infarct size and improve the left ventricular ejection fraction in preclinical and human studies. Specific electrophysiological properties of the scar, (i.e. slow conduction velocity (CV)) have been identified as key features of ventricular tachycardia (VT) isthmuses.
PURPOSE
To assess the effect of the AGTP on VT inducibility and the electrophysiological properties of the post-MI scar with ultra-high density (UHD) mapping.
METHODS
A left circumflex artery (first marginal branch) MI was induced in 10 Landrace X Large White pigs by delivering 1-3 coils. Two weeks post-MI, all subjects underwent baseline left ventricular endocardial UHD mapping during right ventricular pacing with 64-electrode basket mapping catheter, as well as electrophysiological study (EPS) to test for VT inducibility. Following the mapping, subjects were allocated 1:1 to AGTP or sham group. UHD mapping and EPS were repeated 30 days post-treatment (6 weeks after MI). Voltage and activation maps were analyzed off-line with self-customized Paraview-based software. Voltage cut-offs of 1.5 and 0.5mV (bipolar) defined normal tissue, border zone (BZ) and dense scar, respectively, and 6.7mV for unipolar. Conduction velocity (CV) was determined for every pair of contiguous points and areas of similar CV were quantified for every 0.2m/s steps (for up to 4 m/s).
RESULTS
There were no differences between groups with regard of dense scar, BZ an low unipolar voltage areas. The AGTP group had a significant reduction of the size of slow CV (<0.2 m/s) areas, compared to the sham group in whom it increased (-4.1 ± 1.7 vs. +2.4 ± 1.6 mm2, p = 0.028)(Figure). There were no differences in the size of other ranges of CV. EPS did not induce VT in any subject at baseline, and only in 1 of the sham group at the follow-up EPS.
CONCLUSIONS
Cardiac reparative therapy with AGTP of post-MI scar reduced the size of slow conduction areas and could provide a protective effect against arrhythmic events in ischemic heart disease. Abstract Figure.

Abstract
8500 Background: CM accounts for more than 77% of skin cancer deaths. Chemoprevention strategies have been hampered by the lack of supporting epidemiological data. Methods: A case control study examined the association between statins and NSAIDs use and CM in people over 40 years of age. A total of 400 histologically confirmed CM cases were recruited within 3 months from diagnosis between 3/04 and 12/06. Controls included 600 individuals without history of CM matched for age, gender and neighborhood in a ratio of 1:1.5. All completed a standardized telephone questionnaire that captured demographic characteristics, CM risk factors, and drug exposure history (length and frequency of use). Odds ratios were calculated with testing for statistical significance based on Chi square analysis. Results: To date, all 400 CM cases and 547 controls have been recruited. Interview results out of 387 cases (192 F/195 M) and 505 controls (254 F/251 M) were included for data analysis. Mean age was 58.4 and 58.5 years. The most significant CM risk factors included: red hair phenotype OR: 2.29, history of non-CM skin cancer OR: 2.28, family history of CM OR: 1.76, light complexion OR: 2.7, and history of more than 4 sunburns in childhood OR: 4.06. 100 cases vs. 190 of the controls had been exposed to statins OR 0.58 (CI:0.43–0.78); no greater protective effect was detected with increased duration of statin use (p=0.87 for heterogeneity of ORs for =5 vs. <5 yrs). 238 cases vs. 397 controls reported the use of NSAIDs, OR 0.44 (CI 0.32–0.59). 43 cases reported the use of aspirin-ASA for = 5 years vs. 92 controls OR: 0.37 (CI: 0.20–0.68). Similar results were observed with exposure to other NSAIDs with 38 cases reporting the use for = 5 years vs.109 controls, OR: 0.35 (CI: 0.24- 0.50). Conclusions: This study suggests that extended use of NSAIDs decreases the risk of CM development. Although any statin use demonstrated a decreased risk, the lack of an association between duration of use and protective effect raises questions about a true causal relation. Further analysis with respect to the CM subtype and specific exposure (by dose, and frequency of use) to these groups of drugs may lead to the design of CM chemopreventive clinical trials. Final analysis will be presented at ASCO. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
