5. Early Intervention Project. Summary Report, Narrative Report and Supplemental Report.

Author: Maine State Dept. of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, Augusta., Maine Interdepartmental Coordinating Committee for Preschool Handicapped Children., and Mid-Maine Medical Center, Waterville.
Abstract: The objectives and activities of a 3-year preventive intervention program are described. The project's goal was to demonstrate a comprehensive, coordinated interagency model of preventive intervention for birth to 3-year-old handicapped or at-risk infants and young children. Following an in-hospital screening process of infants delivered at Mid-Maine Medical Center, home visits were made to confirm or negate any suspected risks or handicaps. Identified infants and their families residing in the four-town project area were then referred to the project's interdisciplinary Service Assessment Team for development of a case plan and delivery of services. The report focuses on difficulties in the design and conduct of the project in relation to such issues as interagency collaboration and communication, parental acceptance of project services, hospital screening, prenatal assessment, home visits, and the Service Assessment Team referral process. Among conclusions reached were that any philosophical issues involved in determining which discipline(s) should be involved in the home visit component of the assessment process should be resolved, and that the participating hospital must have full involvement in planning and must endorse the project fully, prior to its beginning.

6. Using Hospitals as Job Training and Employment Sites for the Developmentally Disabled. Hospital Industries Handbook.

Author: Maine Medical Center, Portland. Dept. of Rehabilitation Medicine. and Balser, Richard M.
Abstract: Based on the experiences of a job training demonstration project in five hospitals, the handbook describes a rationale and approach for using hospitals (rather than sheltered workshops) as job training sites for mentally and physically disabled persons. Part I reviews advantages for the hospital, the disabled person and his family, the rehabilitation community, and the taxpayer. The demonstration project is placed in historical perspective, and such issues as employer prejudice and opportunities for participant advancement are discussed. Part II outlines a five-step program implementation model: (1) obtaining hospital agreements to participate; (2) paving the way to begin (obtaining Department of Labor certificates, hiring site supervisor, preparing hospital staff, clarifying agency roles, and identifying and analyzing jobs); (3) bringing trainees aboard (referrals, interviews, selection, and placement, close supervision to prevent early failure, and determining compensation); (4) conducting on-the-job evaluation and training (including adjusting wages and monitoring coworkers' reactions); and (5) moving people to long-term employment. Part III describes costs and benefits to the individual and employer, cost effectiveness in relation to alternative job training, and ongoing mechanisms for cost-benefit analysis. Samples of practical tools such as letters of agreement, job analyses, and compensation formulas are included throughout. A glossary of about 35 terms is provided. (JW)

8. Culture Systems for Regenerative Kidney Therapy

Author: MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, Oxburgh, Leif, MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, and Oxburgh, Leif
Abstract: The long term goal of our work is to derive kidney tissue from embryonic stem cells. This will allow us to generate patientspecific models of polycystic kidney disease, which affects many military families. Self-renewal versus differentiation decisions of nephron progenitor cells are profoundly influenced by cells in their immediate environment, the so-called progenitor cell niche. The aim of our study was to recapitulate the progenitor cell niche in vitro to provide an environment for the propagation of nephron progenitor cells derived either from embryonic mouse kidneys or human embryonic stem cells. We have used a combinatorial screening approach to identify growth factors, small molecule inhibitors and extracellular matrix components that promote proliferation of undifferentiated nephron progenitor cells derived either from embryonic tissue or from human ES cells. Using these conditions we can accomplish approximately 1:4,000 expansion, resulting in billions of cells from a starting population of only a million. Importantly, our work shows that these cells not only maintain their undifferentiated phenotype, but also retain their capacity for differentiation to nephron tubules. Thus, we can now recapitulate human nephron development in vitro. This represents a very significant step forward and will form the foundation for the development of polycystic kidney disease models., The original document contains color images.

9. UV-Induced Triggering of a Biomechanical Initiation Switch within Collagen Promotes Development of a Melanoma-Permissive Microenvironment in the Skin

Author: MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, Brooks, Peter, MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, and Brooks, Peter
Abstract: The overall objective of our proposal was to test whether UV irradiation facilitates the exposure of the HU177 cryptic epitopes which may represent a solid state biomechanical initiation switch that promotes inflammation, skin damage and the creation of a melanoma permissive niche. Our new studies suggest that activated fibroblasts and mast cells are present within full thickness mouse and human skin and that fibroblasts accumulate in regions rich in basement membrane components after UV exposure. Interestingly, the exposure of subsets of the HU177 epitopes within the basement membrane preparation MatrigelTM depend in part, on the generation of reactive oxygen species. Surprisingly, while cell adhesion to UVB-irradiated MatrigelTM and collagen was higher than that to non-irradiated substrates, migration was significantly inhibited. Moreover, UVB-induced cell adhesion to irradiated substrates was not significantly altered by irradiation of these substrates in the presence of SOD suggesting that UVB-irradiation may cause exposure of a distinct subset of the HU177 epitopes as well as the exposure of additional non-HU177 cryptic sites that play distinct role in modulating cellular behavior. Collectively our new findings provide unique insight into the differential impact of UV irradiated ECM substrates have on the behavior of stromal and inflammatory cells., The original document contains color images.

10. UV-Induced Triggering of a Biomechanical Initiation Switch Within Collagen Promotes Development of a Melanoma-Permissive Microenvironment in the Skin

Author: MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, Brooks, Peter, MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, and Brooks, Peter
Abstract: The overall objective of our proposal was to test whether UV irradiation facilitates the exposure of the HU177 cryptic collagen epitope which may represent an early solid state biomechanical initiation switch that promotes inflammation, skin damage and the creation of a melanoma permissive niche. Our current studies suggest that UV-mediated structural alterations in collagen type-I, collagen type-IV and Matrigel (trademark) differentially alter the ability of human melanoma cells, human dermal fibroblasts and macrophages to attach, migrate and proliferate on these ECM substrates. These in vitro results are consistent with the possible ability of UV-irradiation of ECM proteins to differentially alter the response of distinct subsets of tumor and normal stromal cells to ECM proteins that help compose the skin microenvironment. In addition, our new data suggest that pre-treating mice with anti-HU177 antibody inhibited UVB-induced accumulation of mast cells in the skin. Moreover, pre-treating mice with a single dose of anti-HU177 antibody also reduced the UVassociated increase in tumor growth by nearly 40%. Taken together, these new data suggest a functional role the HU177 collagen epitope in UV-enhanced inflammation and tumor growth in vivo., The original document contains color images.

11. UV-Induced Triggering of a Biomechanical Initiation Switch Within Collagen Promotes Development of a Melanoma-Permissive Microenvironment in the Skin

Author: MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, Brooks, Peter, MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, and Brooks, Peter
Abstract: The central objective of this proposal was to test the hypothesis that UV irradiation facilitates the exposure of the HU177 cryptic collagen epitope which may represent an early solid state biomechanical initiation switch that promotes inflammation, skin damage and the creation of a melanoma permissive niche. We made significant progress towards the overall goals of our proposal. Our current findings suggest that UVA and UVB dose dependently and differentially trigger conformational changes in collagen type-I and IV resulting in the exposure of the HU177 cryptic epitope. Given the differential exposure of the HU177 cryptic epitope following UV-irradiation, it is possible that distinct differences might be observed in the ability of different cell populations to attach to collagen following UVirradiation. Our findings indicated that while melanoma cell adhesion was generally enhance by 40% to 50% on collagen type-I and IV following UV-irradiation, fibroblast adhesion to collagen type-I was only minimally enhanced. In contrast, dramatic enhancement (5-fold) of macrophage adhesion to UVB irradiated collagen type-IV was observed while little change in adhesion was observed to UVB irradiated collage type-I. These studies suggest that distinct cell types exhibit different adhesive responses to UVA and UVB irradiated collagen type- I and -IV in vitro., The original document contains color images.

12. The Role of Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in Human Breast Cancer Growth in a Mouse Xenograft Model

Author: MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, Weisberg, Tracey F., MAINE MEDICAL CENTER PORTLAND, and Weisberg, Tracey F.
Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the role of human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF- 1) in the development of an immunodeficient mouse model for human breast cancer. Human GH and IGF1 may be critical to the initiation and progression of tumor growth in vivo. Results suggest that it is questionable whether rhGH alone or in addition to estrogen has a significant role in the development of a primary tumor or the progression of tumor growth in the animal model. In addition growth hormone may be semi-inhibitory to growth for tumors dependent upon estrogen Exogenous IGF 1 however, enhances the time to development of a palpable primary tumor and likely has a role in sustaining tumor growth and size over and above what has been achievable with estrogen alone. The effect of human rhGH and IGFl on tumor IGFl, IGF2 and IGFR is currently under evaluation in this laboratory on tumor specimens obtained from the experimental animals. Over the next year in this laboratory, primary tumors from patients under care at Maine Medical Center, will be place into the scid/scid mouse model and supplemented with IGF1 to establish if our preliminary results can be applied to the development of new xenograft models.

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the role of human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) in the development of an immunodeficient mouse model for human breast cancer. Human GH and 1GF1 may be critical to the initiation and progression of tumor growth in vivo. Results suggest that it is questionable whether rhGH alone or in addition to estrogen has a significant role in the development of a primary tumor or the progression of tumor growth in the animal model. In addition, growth hormone may be semi-inhibitory to growth for tumors dependent upon estrogen Exogenous 1GF1 however, enhances the time to development of a palpable primary tumor and likely has a role in sustaining tumor growth and size over and above what has been achievable with estrogen alone. The effect of human rhGH and 1GF1 on tumor 1GF1, 1GF2 and IGF2 is currently under evaluation in this laboratory on tumor specimens obtained from the experimental animals.

Abstract: International audience; Pathogenic variants of the myelin transcription factor-1 like (MYT1L) gene include heterozygous missense, truncating variants and 2p25.3 microdeletions and cause a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder (OMIM#616,521). Despite enrichment in de novo mutations in several developmental disorders and autism studies, the data on clinical characteristics and genotype-phenotype correlations are scarce, with only 22 patients with single nucleotide pathogenic variants reported. We aimed to further characterize this disorder at both the clinical and molecular levels by gathering a large series of patients with MYT1L-associated neurodevelopmental disorder. We collected genetic information on 40 unreported patients with likely pathogenic/pathogenic MYT1L variants and performed a comprehensive review of published data (total = 62 patients). We confirm that the main phenotypic features of the MYT1L-related disorder are developmental delay with language delay (95%), intellectual disability (ID, 70%), overweight or obesity (58%), behavioral disorders (98%) and epilepsy (23%). We highlight novel clinical characteristics, such as learning disabilities without ID (30%) and feeding difficulties during infancy (18%). We further describe the varied dysmorphic features (67%) and present the changes in weight over time of 27 patients. We show that patients harboring highly clustered missense variants in the 2-3-ZNF domains are not clinically distinguishable from patients with truncating variants. We provide an updated overview of clinical and genetic data of the MYT1L-associated neurodevelopmental disorder, hence improving diagnosis and clinical management of these patients.

Abstract: BET1 is required, together with its SNARE complex partners GOSR2, SEC22b, and Syntaxin‐5 for fusion of endoplasmic reticulum‐derived vesicles with the ER‐Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) and the cis‐Golgi. Here, we report three individuals, from two families, with severe congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) and biallelic variants in BET1 (P1 p.(Asp68His)/p.(Ala45Valfs*2); P2 and P3 homozygous p.(Ile51Ser)). Due to aberrant splicing and frameshifting, the variants in P1 result in low BET1 protein levels and impaired ER‐to‐Golgi transport. Since in silico modeling suggested that p.(Ile51Ser) interferes with binding to interaction partners other than SNARE complex subunits, we set off and identified novel BET1 interaction partners with low affinity for p.(Ile51Ser) BET1 protein compared to wild‐type, among them ERGIC‐53. The BET1/ERGIC‐53 interaction was validated by endogenous co‐immunoprecipitation with both proteins colocalizing to the ERGIC compartment. Mislocalization of ERGIC‐53 was observed in P1 and P2’s derived fibroblasts; while in the p.(Ile51Ser) P2 fibroblasts specifically, mutant BET1 was also mislocalized along with ERGIC‐53. Thus, we establish BET1 as a novel CMD/epilepsy gene and confirm the emerging role of ER/Golgi SNAREs in CMD., This study describes three individuals with a progressive early‐onset congenital muscular dystrophy, and additional epilepsy in one, caused by biallelic variants in the BET1 gene. BET1, along with its SNARE complex partners, is essential for ER‐to‐Golgi trafficking.

Abstract: International audience; Over the last two decades, increased interest of scientists to study bone marrow adiposity (BMA) in relation to bone and adipose tissue physiology has expanded the number of publications using different sources of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). However, each source of BMAT has its limitations in the number of downstream analyses for which it can be used. Based on this increased scientific demand, the International Bone Marrow Adiposity Society (BMAS) established a Biobanking Working Group to identify the challenges of biobanking for human BMA-related samples and to develop guidelines to advance establishment of biobanks for BMA research. BMA is a young, growing field with increased interest among many diverse scientific communities. These bring new perspectives and important biological questions on how to improve and build an international community with biobank databases that can be used and shared all over the world. However, to create internationally accessible biobanks, several practical and legislative issues must be addressed to create a general ethical protocol used in all institutes, to allow for exchange of biological material internationally. In this position paper, the BMAS Biobanking Working Group describes similarities and differences of patient information (PIF) and consent forms from different institutes and addresses a possibility to create uniform documents for BMA biobanking purposes. Further, based on discussion among Working Group members, we report an overview of the current isolation protocols for human bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs, formerly mesenchymal), highlighting the specific points crucial for effective isolation. Although we remain far from a unified BMAd isolation protocol and PIF, we have summarized all of these important aspects, which are needed to build a BMA biobank. In conclusion, we believe that harmonizing isolation protocols and PIF globally will help to build international collaborations and improve the quality and interpretation of BMA research outcomes.

Abstract: BackgroundDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, decreased volumes of stroke admissions and mechanical thrombectomy were reported. The study’s objective was to examine whether subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) hospitalisations and ruptured aneurysm coiling interventions demonstrated similar declines.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, retrospective, observational study across 6 continents, 37 countries and 140 comprehensive stroke centres. Patients with the diagnosis of SAH, aneurysmal SAH, ruptured aneurysm coiling interventions and COVID-19 were identified by prospective aneurysm databases or by International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, codes. The 3-month cumulative volume, monthly volumes for SAH hospitalisations and ruptured aneurysm coiling procedures were compared for the period before (1 year and immediately before) and during the pandemic, defined as 1 March–31 May 2020. The prior 1-year control period (1 March–31 May 2019) was obtained to account for seasonal variation.FindingsThere was a significant decline in SAH hospitalisations, with 2044 admissions in the 3 months immediately before and 1585 admissions during the pandemic, representing a relative decline of 22.5% (95% CI −24.3% to −20.7%, pInterpretationThere was a relative decrease in the volume of SAH hospitalisations, aneurysmal SAH hospitalisations and ruptured aneurysm embolisations during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings in SAH are consistent with a decrease in other emergencies, such as stroke and myocardial infarction.

Abstract: The interest in bone marrow adiposity (BMA) has increased over the last decade due to its association with, and potential role, in a range of diseases (osteoporosis, diabetes, anorexia, cancer) as well as treatments (corticosteroid, radiation, chemotherapy, thiazolidinediones). However, to advance the field of BMA research, standardization of methods is desirable to increase comparability of study outcomes and foster collaboration. Therefore, at the 2017 annual BMA meeting, the International Bone Marrow Adiposity Society (BMAS) founded a working group to evaluate methodologies in BMA research. All BMAS members could volunteer to participate. The working group members, who are all active preclinical or clinical BMA researchers, searched the literature for articles investigating BMA and discussed the results during personal and telephone conferences. According to the consensus opinion, both based on the review of the literature and on expert opinion, we describe existing methodologies and discuss the challenges and future directions for (1) histomorphometry of bone marrow adipocytes, (2) ex vivo BMA imaging, (3) in vivo BMA imaging, (4) cell isolation, culture, differentiation and in vitro modulation of primary bone marrow adipocytes and bone marrow stromal cell precursors, (5) lineage tracing and in vivo BMA modulation, and (6) BMA biobanking. We identify as accepted standards in BMA research: manual histomorphometry and osmium tetroxide 3D contrast-enhanced μCT for ex vivo quantification, specific MRI sequences (WFI and H-MRS) for in vivo studies, and RT-qPCR with a minimal four gene panel or lipid-based assays for in vitro quantification of bone marrow adipogenesis. Emerging techniques are described which may soon come to complement or substitute these gold standards. Known confounding factors and minimal reporting standards are presented, and their use is encouraged to facilitate comparison across studies. In conclusion, specific BMA methodologies have been developed. However, important challenges remain. In particular, we advocate for the harmonization of methodologies, the precise reporting of known confounding factors, and the identification of methods to modulate BMA independently from other tissues. Wider use of existing animal models with impaired BMA production (e.g., Pfrt-/-, KitW/W-v) and development of specific BMA deletion models would be highly desirable for this purpose. ispartof: Frontiers In Endocrinology vol:11 ispartof: location:Switzerland status: published

Abstract: International audience; TBR1, a T-box transcription factor expressed in the cerebral cortex, regulates the expression of several candidate genes for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Although TBR1 has been reported as a high-confidence risk gene for ASD and intellectual disability (ID) in functional and clinical reports since 2011, TBR1 has only recently been recorded as a human disease gene in the OMIM database. Currently, the neurodevelopmental disorders and structural brain anomalies associated with TBR1 variants are not well characterized. Through international data sharing, we collected data from 25 unreported individuals and compared them with data from the literature. We evaluated structural brain anomalies in seven individuals by analysis of MRI images, and compared these with anomalies observed in TBR1 mutant mice. The phenotype included ID in all individuals, associated to autistic traits in 76% of them. No recognizable facial phenotype could be identified. MRI analysis revealed a reduction of the anterior commissure and suggested new features including dysplastic hippocampus and subtle neocortical dysgenesis. This report supports the role of TBR1 in ID associated with autistic traits and suggests new structural brain malformations in humans. We hope this work will help geneticists to interpret TBR1 variants and diagnose ASD probands.

Abstract: The co‐occurrence of cancer and heart failure (HF) represents a significant clinical drawback as each disease interferes with the treatment of the other. In addition to shared risk factors, a growing body of experimental and clinical evidence reveals numerous commonalities in the biology underlying both pathologies. Inflammation emerges as a common hallmark for both diseases as it contributes to the initiation and progression of both HF and cancer. Under stress, malignant and cardiac cells change their metabolic preferences to survive, which makes these metabolic derangements a great basis to develop intersection strategies and therapies to combat both diseases. Furthermore, genetic predisposition and clonal haematopoiesis are common drivers for both conditions and they hold great clinical relevance in the context of personalized medicine. Additionally, altered angiogenesis is a common hallmark for failing hearts and tumours and represents a promising substrate to target in both diseases. Cardiac cells and malignant cells interact with their surrounding environment called stroma. This interaction mediates the progression of the two pathologies and understanding the structure and function of each stromal component may pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies and improved outcomes in patients. The interdisciplinary collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists is essential to establish unified guidelines. To this aim, pre‐clinical models that mimic the human situation, where both pathologies coexist, are needed to understand all the aspects of the bidirectional relationship between cancer and HF. Finally, adequately powered clinical studies, including patients from all ages, and men and women, with proper adjudication of both cancer and cardiovascular endpoints, are essential to accurately study these two pathologies at the same time., We describe the co‐occurrence of cancer and heart failure (HF), their potential shared risk factors, and their pathophysiological mechanisms. We advocate intense interaction between cardiologists and oncologists to achieve unifying hypotheses and collaborative pre‐clinical and clinical studies.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Brain disorders may exhibit shared symptoms and substantial epidemiological comorbidity, inciting debate about their etiologic overlap. However, detailed study of phenotypes with different ages of onset, severity, and presentation poses a considerable challenge. Recently developed heritability methods allow us to accurately measure correlation of genome-wide common variant risk between two phenotypes from pools of different individuals and assess how connected they, or at least their genetic risks, are on the genomic level. We used genome-wide association data for 265,218 patients and 784,643 control participants, as well as 17 phenotypes from a total of 1,191,588 individuals, to quantify the degree of overlap for genetic risk factors of 25 common brain disorders. RATIONALE Over the past century, the classification of brain disorders has evolved to reflect the medical and scientific communities’ assessments of the presumed root causes of clinical phenomena such as behavioral change, loss of motor function, or alterations of consciousness. Directly observable phenomena (such as the presence of emboli, protein tangles, or unusual electrical activity patterns) generally define and separate neurological disorders from psychiatric disorders. Understanding the genetic underpinnings and categorical distinctions for brain disorders and related phenotypes may inform the search for their biological mechanisms. RESULTS Common variant risk for psychiatric disorders was shown to correlate significantly, especially among attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), and schizophrenia. By contrast, neurological disorders appear more distinct from one another and from the psychiatric disorders, except for migraine, which was significantly correlated to ADHD, MDD, and Tourette syndrome. We demonstrate that, in the general population, the personality trait neuroticism is significantly correlated with almost every psychiatric disorder and migraine. We also identify significant genetic sharing between disorders and early life cognitive measures (e.g., years of education and college attainment) in the general population, demonstrating positive correlation with several psychiatric disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa and bipolar disorder) and negative correlation with several neurological phenotypes (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and ischemic stroke), even though the latter are considered to result from specific processes that occur later in life. Extensive simulations were also performed to inform how statistical power, diagnostic misclassification, and phenotypic heterogeneity influence genetic correlations. CONCLUSION The high degree of genetic correlation among many of the psychiatric disorders adds further evidence that their current clinical boundaries do not reflect distinct underlying pathogenic processes, at least on the genetic level. This suggests a deeply interconnected nature for psychiatric disorders, in contrast to neurological disorders, and underscores the need to refine psychiatric diagnostics. Genetically informed analyses may provide important “scaffolding” to support such restructuring of psychiatric nosology, which likely requires incorporating many levels of information. By contrast, we find limited evidence for widespread common genetic risk sharing among neurological disorders or across neurological and psychiatric disorders. We show that both psychiatric and neurological disorders have robust correlations with cognitive and personality measures. Further study is needed to evaluate whether overlapping genetic contributions to psychiatric pathology may influence treatment choices. Ultimately, such developments may pave the way toward reduced heterogeneity and improved diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Abstract: International audience; Purpose: The microenvironment of breast tumors plays a critical role in tumorigenesis. As long as the structural integrity of the microenvironment is upheld, the tumor is suppressed. If tissue structure is lost through disruptions in the normal cell cycle, the microenvironment may act as a tumor promoter. Therefore, the properties that distinguish between healthy and tumorous tissues may not be solely in the tumor characteristics but rather in surrounding non-tumor tissue. The goal of this paper was to show preliminary evidence that tissue disruption and loss of homeostasis in breast tissue microenvironment and breast bilateral asymmetry can be quantitatively and objectively assessed from mammography via a localized, wavelet-based analysis of the whole breast.Methods: A wavelet-based multifractal formalism called the 2D Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima (WTMM) method was used to quantitate density fluctuations from mammographic breast tissue via the Hurst exponent (H). Each entire mammogram was cut in hundreds of 360 9 360 pixel subre-gions in a gridding scheme of overlapping sliding windows, with each window boundary separated by 32 pixels. The 2D WTMM method was applied to each subregion individually. A data mining approach was set up to determine which metrics best discriminated between normal vs. cancer cases. These same metrics were then used, without modification, to discriminate between normal vs. benign and benign vs. cancer cases.Results: The density fluctuations in healthy mammographic breast tissue are either monofractal anti-correlated (H < 1/2) for fatty tissue or monofractal long-range correlated (H>1/2) for dense tissue. However, tissue regions with H~1/2, as well as left vs. right breast asymetries, were found preferably in tumorous (benign or cancer) breasts vs. normal breasts, as quantified via a combination metric yielding a P-value ~ 0.0006. No metric considered showed significant differences between cancer vs. benign breasts.Conclusions: Since mammographic tissue regions associated with uncorrelated (H~1/2) density fluctuations were predominantly in tumorous breasts, and since the underlying physical processes associated with a H~1/2 signature are those of randomness, lack of spatial correlation, and free diffusion, it is hypothesized that this signature is also associated with tissue disruption and loss of tissue homeosta-sis.

Abstract: Article en "Free Access"; International audience; Age-related osteoporosis is accompanied by an increase in marrow adiposity and a reduction in serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and the binding proteins that stabilize IGF-1. To determine the relationship between these proteins and bone marrow adiposity, we evaluated the adipogenic potential of marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from mice with decreased serum IGF-1 due to knockdown of IGF-1 production by the liver or knock-out of the binding proteins. We employed 10-16-week-old, liver-specific IGF-1-deficient, IGFBP-3 knock-out (BP3KO) and acid-labile subunit knock-out (ALSKO) mice. We found that expression of the late adipocyte differentiation marker peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma was increased in marrow isolated from ALSKO mice. When induced with adipogenic media, MSC cultures from ALSKO mice revealed a significantly greater number of differentiated adipocytes compared with controls. MSCs from ALSKO mice also exhibited decreased alkaline-phosphatase positive colony size in cultures that were stimulated with osteoblast differentiation media. These osteoblast-like cells from ALSKO mice failed to induce osteoclastogenesis of control cells in co-culture assays, indicating that impairment of IGF-1 complex formation with ALS in bone marrow alters cell fate, leading to increased adipogenesis.

Abstract: Use of recombinant insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) as a treatment for primary IGF-1 deficiency in children has become increasingly common. When untreated, primary IGF-1 deficiency may lead to a range of metabolic disorders, including lipid abnormalities, insulin resistance, and decreased bone density. To date, results of this therapy are considered encouraging; however, our understanding of the role played by IGF-1 during development remains limited. Studies on long-term treatment with recombinant IGF-1 in both children and animals are few. Here, we used two novel transgenic mouse strains to test the long-term effects of elevated circulating IGF-1 on body size and skeletal development. Overexpression of the rat igf1 transgene in livers of mice with otherwise normal IGF-1 expression (HIT mice) resulted in approximately threefold increases in serum IGF-1 levels throughout growth, as well as greater body mass and enhanced skeletal size, architecture, and mechanical properties. When the igf1 transgene was overexpressed in livers of igf1 null mice (KO-HIT), the comparably elevated serum IGF-1 failed to overcome growth and skeletal deficiencies during neonatal and early postnatal growth. However, between 4 and 16 weeks of age, increased serum IGF-1 fully compensated for the absence of locally produced IGF-1 because body weights and lengths of KO-HIT mice became comparable with controls. Furthermore, micro-computed tomography (µCT) analysis revealed that early deficits in skeletal structure of KO-HIT mice were restored to control levels by adulthood. Our data indicate that in the absence of tissue igf1 gene expression, maintaining long-term elevations in serum IGF-1 is sufficient to establish normal body size, body composition, and both skeletal architecture and mechanical function. © 2010 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract: AM Vicente - Cross-Disorder Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Most psychiatric disorders are moderately to highly heritable. The degree to which genetic variation is unique to individual disorders or shared across disorders is unclear. To examine shared genetic etiology, we use genome-wide genotype data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) for cases and controls in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We apply univariate and bivariate methods for the estimation of genetic variation within and covariation between disorders. SNPs explained 17-29% of the variance in liability. The genetic correlation calculated using common SNPs was high between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (0.68 ± 0.04 s.e.), moderate between schizophrenia and major depressive disorder (0.43 ± 0.06 s.e.), bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder (0.47 ± 0.06 s.e.), and ADHD and major depressive disorder (0.32 ± 0.07 s.e.), low between schizophrenia and ASD (0.16 ± 0.06 s.e.) and non-significant for other pairs of disorders as well as between psychiatric disorders and the negative control of Crohn's disease. This empirical evidence of shared genetic etiology for psychiatric disorders can inform nosology and encourages the investigation of common pathophysiologies for related disorders.

Abstract: International audience; Global control of tuberculosis is increasingly dependent on rapid and accurate genetic typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Spoligotyping is a first-line genotypic fingerprinting method for M.tuberculosis isolates. An international online database (SpolDB4) of spoligotype patterns has been established wherein a clustered pattern (shared by 2 or more isolates) is designated a shared international type (SIT). Dual infections of single patients by distinct strains of M. tuberculosis is increasingly reported in high tuberculosis incidence areas, raising the possibility of false composite spoligotype patterns if performed upon mixed strain samples. A computational approach was applied to SpolDB4 and found that of the reported 1939 SITs, 54% could be a composite of two other SITs. Although many of the spoligotypes listed in SpolDB4 may be the product of admixing, the majority of patterns were reported with a corresponding low case frequency and so the effect of misclassification upon database integrity with these is likely minimal. Phylogenetic analysis of the five SITs most prone to be a composite demonstrated that these patterns designate nodes from which the ramifications of large families T, MANU, LAM, and EAI emerged. We illustrate how geographic context may indicate when an observed pattern could be the product of mixed infection. Importantly, when one of the most composite-prone SITs is obtained, further genetic testing by alternate methods is prudent to rule-out mixed infection, especially in high tuberculosis prevalence areas. These findings have broad practical implications for tuberculosis control and surveillance, as well as highlight the utility of a computational approach in providing solutions to biological questions in which the information can be digitalized.

Abstract: International audience; The analysis of the molecular mechanisms involved in the initial interaction between neurons and Schwann cells is a key issue in understanding the myelination process. We recently identified Cthrc1 (Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1) as a gene upregulated in Schwann cells upon interaction with the axon. Cthrc1 encodes a secreted protein previously shown to be involved in migration and proliferation in different cell types. We performed a functional analysis of Cthrc1 in Schwann cells by loss- and gain-of-function approaches, using RNA interference knock-down in cell culture and a transgenic mouse line that overexpresses the gene. This work establishes that Cthrc1 enhances Schwann cell proliferation, but prevents myelination. In particular, time-course analysis of myelin formation in transgenic animals reveals that overexpression of Cthrc1 in Schwann cells leads to a delay in myelin formation, with cells maintaining a proliferative state. Our data therefore demonstrate that Cthrc1 plays a negative regulatory role, fine-tuning the onset of peripheral myelination.

Abstract: Understanding insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) biology is of particular importance because, apart from its role in mediating growth, it plays key roles in cellular transformation, organ regeneration, immune function, development of the musculoskeletal system and aging. IGF1 bioactivity is modulated by its binding to IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) and the acid labile subunit (ALS), which are present in serum and tissues. To determine whether IGF1 binding to IGFBPs is necessary to facilitate normal growth and development, we used a gene-targeting approach and generated two novel knock-in mouse models of mutated IGF1, in which the native Igf1 gene was replaced by Des-Igf1 (KID mice) or R3-Igf1 (KIR mice). The KID and KIR mutant proteins have reduced affinity for the IGFBPs, and therefore present as unbound IGF1, or ‘free IGF1’. We found that both KID and KIR mice have reduced serum IGF1 levels and a concomitant increase in serum growth hormone levels. Ternary complex formation of IGF1 with the IGFBPs and the ALS was markedly reduced in sera from KID and KIR mice compared with wild type. Both mutant mice showed increased body weight, body and bone lengths, and relative lean mass. We found selective organomegaly of the spleen, kidneys and uterus, enhanced mammary gland complexity, and increased skeletal acquisition. The KID and KIR models show unequivocally that IGF1-complex formation with the IGFBPs is fundamental for establishing normal body and organ size, and that uncontrolled IGF bioactivity could lead to pathological conditions.

32. Increased serum IGF-1 levels protect the musculoskeletal system but are associated with elevated oxidative stress markers and increased mortality independent of tissue igf1 gene expression

Abstract: Although the literature suggests a protective (anabolic) effect of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on the musculoskeletal system during growth and aging, there is evidence that reductions in IGF-1 signaling are advantageous for promoting an increase in lifespan through reduction in oxidative stress-induced tissue damage. To better understand this paradox, we utilized the hepatocyte-specific IGF-1 transgenic (HIT) mice, which exhibit 3-fold increases in serum IGF-1, with normal IGF-1 expression in other tissues; and mice with an IGF-1 null background that exclusively express IGF-1 in the liver, which thereby delivers IGF-1 by the endocrine route only (KO-HIT mice). We found that in the total absence of tissue igf1 gene expression (KO-HIT), increases in serum IGF-1 levels were associated with increased levels of lipid peroxidation products in serum, increased mortality rate at 18 months, of age in both genders. Surprisingly, however, we found that in female mice, tissue IGF-1 plays an important role in preserving trabecular bone architecture as KO-HIT mice show bone loss in the femoral distal metaphysis. Additionally, in male KO-HIT mice increases in serum IGF-1 levels were insufficient to protect against age-related muscle loss. Overall, we conclude that elevations in serum IGF-1 have beneficial role in the aging musculoskeletal system but may have deleterious effects that lead to earlier mortality.

Abstract: Deficiencies in either growth hormone (GH) or insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are associated with reductions in bone size during growth in humans and animal models. Liver-specific IGF-1-deficient (LID) mice, which have 75% reductions in serum IGF-1, were created previously to separate the effects of endocrine (serum) IGF-1 from autocrine/paracrine IGF-1. However, LID mice also have two- to threefold increases in GH, and this may contribute to the observed pubertal skeletal phenotype. To clarify the role of GH in skeletal development under conditions of significantly reduced serum IGF-1 levels (but normal tissue IGF-1 levels), we studied the skeletal response of male LID and control mice to GH inhibition by pegvisomant from 4 to 8 weeks of age. Treatment of LID mice with pegvisomant resulted in significant reductions in body weight, femur length (Le), and femur total area (Tt.Ar), as well as further reductions in serum IGF-1 levels by 8 weeks of age, compared with the mean values of vehicle-treated LID mice. Reductions in both Tt.Ar and Le were proportional after treatment with pegvisomant. On the other hand, the relative amount of cortical tissue formed (RCA) in LID mice treated with pegvisomant was significantly less than that in both vehicle-treated LID and control mice, indicating that antagonizing GH action, either directly (through GH receptor signaling inhibition) or indirectly (through further reductions in serum/tissue IGF-1 levels), results in disproportionate reductions in the amount of cortical bone formed. This resulted in bones with significantly reduced mechanical properties (femoral whole-bone stiffness and work to failure were markedly decreased), suggesting that compensatory increases of GH in states of IGF-1 deficiency (LID mice) act to protect against a severe inhibition of bone modeling during growth, which otherwise would result in bones that are too weak for normal and/or extreme loading conditions. © 2011 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract: International audience; Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a crucial mediator of body size and bone mass duringgrowth and development. In serum, IGF-1 is stabilized by several IGF-1 binding proteins(IGFBPs) and the acid labile subunit (ALS). Previous research using ALS knockout (ALSKO)mice indicated a growth retardation phenotype and clinical reports of humans have indicated shortstature and low bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with ALS deficiency. To determine thetemporal and sex-specific effects of ALS deficiency on body size and skeletal development duringgrowth we characterized control and ALSKO mice from 4 to 16 weeks of age. We found thatfemale ALSKO mice had an earlier onset reduction in body size (4 weeks), but that both femaleand male ALSKO mice were consistently smaller than control mice. Interestingly, skeletalanalyses at multiple ages showed increased slenderness of ALSKO femora that was more severe infemales than in males. Both male and female ALSKO mice appeared to compensate for their moreslender bones through increased bone formation on their endosteal surfaces during growth, butALSKO females had increased endosteal bone formation compared to ALSKO males. This studyrevealed age and sex-specific dependencies of ALS deficiency on body size and bone size. Thesefindings may explain the heterogeneity in growth and BMD measurements reported in humanALS deficient patients.

Abstract: Article en "Free Access"; International audience; There is growing evidence that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) have synergistic actions on bone and that part of the anabolic effects of PTH is mediated by local production of IGF-1. In this study we analyzed the skeletal response to PTH in mouse models with manipulated endocrine or autocrine/paracrine IGF-1. We used mice carrying a hepatic IGF-1 transgene (HIT), which results in a threefold increase in serum IGF-1 levels and normal tissue IGF-1 expression, and Igf1 null mice with blunted IGF-1 expression in tissues but threefold increases in serum IGF-1 levels (KO-HIT). Evaluation of skeletal growth showed that elevations in serum IGF-1 in mice with Igf1 gene ablation in all tissues except the liver (KO-HIT) resulted in a restoration of skeletal morphology and mechanical properties by adulthood. Intermittent PTH treatment of adult HIT mice resulted in increases in serum osteocalcin levels, femoral total cross-sectional area, cortical bone area and cortical bone thickness, as well as bone mechanical properties. We found that the skeletal response of HIT mice to PTH was significantly higher than that of control mice, suggesting synergy between IGF-1 and PTH on bone. In sharp contrast, although PTH-treated KO-HIT mice demonstrated an anabolic response in cortical and trabecular bone compartments compared with vehicle-treated KO-HIT mice, their response was identical to that of PTH-treated control mice. We conclude that (1) in the presence of elevated serum IGF-1 levels, PTH can exert an anabolic response in bone even in the total absence of tissue IGF-1, and (2) elevations in serum IGF-1 levels synergize PTH action on bone only if the tissue IGF-1 axis is intact. Thus enhancement of PTH anabolic actions depends on tissue IGF-1. (C) 2010 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract: International audience; Both estrogen receptor (ER) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) regulate bone metabolism, and because steroid receptor coactivator (SRC)-2 (TIF-2) enhances ER and PPARgamma activity, we examined the consequences of deletion of SRC-2 on bone using SRC-2 knock out (KO) mice. Loss of SRC-2 resulted in increased bone mass, with SRC-2 KO mice having 80% higher trabecular bone volume as compared with wild type mice. SRC-2 KO mice also had a marked decrease (by 50%) in bone marrow adipocytes. These data suggested that marrow precursor cells in the SRC-2 KO mice may be resistant to the inhibitory effects of endogenous PPARgamma ligands on bone formation. Consistent with this, compared with cultures from wild type mice, marrow stromal cultures from SRC-2 KO mice formed significantly more mineralized nodules (by 3-fold) in the presence of the PPARgamma agonist, rosiglitazone. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, we demonstrated that in bone marrow stromal cells, loss of SRC-2 leads to destabilization of the transcription complex at the peroxisome proliferator response elements of a number of PPARgamma target genes, resulting in an overall decrease in the expression of adipocyte-related genes and a marked decrease in adipocyte development. Using ovariectomy with or without estrogen replacement, we also demonstrated that SRC-2 KO mice were partially resistant to the skeletal actions of estrogen. Collectively, these findings indicate that loss of SRC-2 leads to partial skeletal resistance to the ER and PPARgamma, but resistance to PPARgamma is dominant, leading to increased bone mass. Modulating SRC-2 action may, thus, represent a novel therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Abstract: International audience; During muscle differentiation, a population of quiescent undifferentiated myoblasts (reserve cells) emerges among mature muscle cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying such cell segregation and the characterization of this subpopulation of myoblasts remain to be determined. Notch is known to control the behavior and fate of murine muscle stem cells. In this study, we examined the role of Notch in myoblast segregation. We showed that inhibition of Notch activity by either overexpressing Numb or by using a pharmacological -secretase inhibitor (DAPT) enhanced differentiation of murine and human myoblasts. This effect was not restricted to in vitro culture systems since DAPT-treated zebrafish embryos also showed increased differentiation. Using C2.7 myoblasts as a model, we showed that inhibition of Notch induced myotube hypertrophy by recruiting reserve cells that do not normally fuse. We further showed that endogenous Notch-signaling components were differentially expressed and activated in reserve cells with respect to Notch 1 and CD34 expression. We identified CD34 negative reserve cells as the subpopulation of myoblasts recruited to fuse into myotubes during differentiation in response to Notch inhibition. Therefore, we showed here that the activation of Notch 1 is important to maintain a subpopulation of CD34 negative reserve cells in an undifferentiated state.

Abstract: The importance of sleep and its role in maintaining health and well-being has garnered much attention in recent years. A large percentage of people suffer from sleep deprivation and chronic insomnia. These derangements can lead to a wide range of adverse health effects. Therefore, the crucial nature of sleep health cannot be overstated. Normal sleep architecture along with adequate sleep hygiene promotes homeostasis by way of positive feedback, which in turn, maintains many crucial physiologic functions. Given their education and area of expertise, certified registered nurse anesthetists should possess a thorough knowledge of sleep, its benefits, and the detriments associated with inadequate sleep. This journal course aims to disseminate useful information regarding sleep architecture and hygiene, the sleep-health relationship, risk factors related to chronic sleep deprivation (CSD), and current treatment modalities, including a novel approach to CSD: propofol-induced sleep., Competing Interests: Name: Kyle T.

Abstract: Background: The hospital environment is a complex and unpredictable workplace where different providers share the responsibility of patient care. Differences in opinions, values, and experiences between resident physicians and other care team members may trigger conflicts that affect the safety and quality of patient care. Thus, developing conflict competencies may help to negotiate the complexities of different conflict situations and resolve these conflicts. However, the extent of the knowledge and perception of conflict competence among resident physicians remains to be determined., Methods: A survey and qualitative semi-structured interviews of resident physicians were conducted. Participants were recruited voluntarily. Survey results were analyzed using SPSS 21, and MAXQDA 24 was used to evaluate the interview transcripts with thematic analysis., Results: Sixty-five resident physicians completed the survey, and 15 resident physicians were interviewed. 61.5% of the survey respondents identified as female, 76.9% were Caucasian, 35.4% of the respondents were from surgical specialties, and 43.1% of the residents were in their second year of training. 53.8% of the participants reported witnessing or experiencing conflicts weekly, with 44.6% reporting resident physician-nurse conflicts. 63.1% of the conflicts were reported as unresolved, with 16.9% reporting that the conflict affected future working relationships, 25.5% of the conflicts were due to failure of communication, 75.4%residents did not have any form of prior training on conflict management, and 83.1% of them reported interest in conflict competence training. Conflicts mainly affected the quality of care (87.3%) compared to patient safety concerns (12.3%). Participants with prior training in conflict competence were more likely to resolve their reported conflict (p = 0.047). The interviews highlighted 5 main themes: sources of conflict, awareness of conflict resolution styles, addressing conflict and outcomes, and the effect on patient care. Sources of conflict included hierarchy and different priorities. 52.2% of the respondents did not know any style of conflict resolution. Addressing conflict included collaboration, avoidance, competition, and prevention. Avoidance was the most common style used by interviewees, followed by collaboration. While most felt that the conflicts affected the quality of patient care, 1 interviewee reported severe adverse events on the patient., Conclusion: Conflicts are rife in the hospital environment and can affect patient care when unresolved. Resident physicians' knowledge of conflict competence is low and does not reflect the complexity of their working environment. Future training in conflict competence and resolution is warranted., (Copyright © 2024 Association of Program Directors in Surgery. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with a history of cancer are at an increased risk for late effects from their cancer treatment and have higher rates of long-term morbidity and mortality compared to their age-matched peers. As a result, this vulnerable population needs attentive follow-up care, end-organ surveillance, and secondary cancer screening; however, a history of cancer can often become buried on a problem list or not addressed at all. This case report illustrates an AYA survivor of classic Hodgkin lymphoma who relocates to a new city and establishes care with a new primary care provider (PCP). The PCP's awareness of a prior cancer diagnosis and the previous treatment regimen is a critical component in providing comprehensive care. In this case, the PCP's first step is to reach out and collaborate with oncology providers to gather an accurate treatment summary and then consult evidence-based guidelines to develop a plan of care. Based on the patient's previous treatment with chemotherapy adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine, the PCP orders recommended testing, reviews results, and provides subsequent counseling on health promotion and psychosocial wellness. This case illustrates strategies healthcare providers can use to provide coordinated, evidence-based care for AYA cancer survivors., (Copyright © 2024 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine.

In this study, we compared the peri-operative outcomes of TCAR, transfemoral CAS (tfCAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with prior ipsilateral CAS using the Vascular Quality Iniatitive., Methods: Using Vascular Quality Initiative data from 2016 to 2023, we identified patients who underwent TCAR, tfCAS, or CEA after prior ipsilateral CAS. We included covariates such as age, race, sex, body mass index, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, prior coronary artery disease, prior coronary artery bypass grafting/percutaneous coronary intervention, congestive heart failure, renal dysfunction, smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and anemia), symptom status, urgency, ipsilateral stenosis, and contralateral occlusion into a regression model to compute propensity scores for treatment assignment. We then used the propensity scores for inverse probability weighting and weighted logistic regression to compare in-hospital stroke, in-hospital death, stroke/death, postoperative myocardial infarction (MI), stroke/death/MI, 30-day mortality, and cranial nerve injury (CNI) after TCAR, tfCAS, and CEA. We also analyzed trends in the proportions of patients undergoing the three revascularization procedures over time using Cochrane-Armitage trend testing., Results: We identified 2137 patients undergoing revascularization after prior ipsilateral carotid stenting: 668 TCAR patients (31%), 1128 tfCAS patients (53%), and 341 CEA patients (16%). In asymptomatic patients, TCAR was associated with a lower yet not statistically significant in-hospital stroke/death than tfCAS (TCAR vs tfCAS: 0.7% vs 2.0%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.11-1.05; P = .06), and similar odds of stroke/death with CEA (TCAR vs CEA: 0.7% vs 0.9%; aOR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.16-3.98; P = .8). Compared with CEA, TCAR was associated with lower odds of postoperative MI (0.1% vs 14%; aOR, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.00-0.10; P < .001), stroke/death/MI (0.8% vs 15%; aOR, 0.05; 95% CI, 0.01-0.25; P < .001), and CNI (0.1% vs 3.8%; aOR, 0.04; 95% CI, 0.00-0.30; P = .002) in this patient population. In symptomatic patients, TCAR had an unacceptably elevated in-hospital stroke/death rate of 5.1%, with lower rates of CNI than CEA. We also found an increasing trend in the proportion of patients undergoing TCAR following prior ipsilateral carotid stenting (2016 to 2023: 14% to 41%), with a relative decrease in proportions of tfCAS (61% to 45%) and CEA (25% to 14%) (P < .001)., Conclusions: In asymptomatic patients with prior ipsilateral CAS, TCAR was associated with lower odds of in-hospital stroke/death compared with tfCAS, with comparable stroke/death but lower postoperative MI and CNI rates compared with CEA. In symptomatic patients, TCAR was associated with unacceptably higher in-hospital stroke/death rates. In line with the postprocedure outcomes, there has been a steady increase in the proportion of patients with prior ipsilateral stenting undergoing TCAR over time., Competing Interests: Disclosures None., (Copyright © 2024 Society for Vascular Surgery.

45. Knowledge Gaps Identified in a Survey of Maine Physicians' Firearm Safety Counseling Practices.

Author: Oppenheimer J, Cutler A, and Pleacher K
Subjects: Humans, Maine, Cross-Sectional Studies, Female, Male, Adult, Middle Aged, Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice, Physicians statistics & numerical data, Wounds, Gunshot prevention & control, Surveys and Questionnaires, Safety, Firearms, Counseling statistics & numerical data
Abstract: Numerous medical associations have identified firearm injuries as a public health issue, calling on physicians to provide firearm safety counseling. Data suggest that while many physicians agree with this, few routinely screen and provide counseling. We aimed to survey Maine physicians to assess their current firearm safety counseling practices and knowledge of a new state child access prevention (CAP) law. We conducted an anonymous cross-sectional survey of Maine primary care and psychiatry physicians. We recruited multiple statewide medical organizations, residency programs, and two major health systems to distribute the survey to their membership. Group differences were compared by physician rurality and years in practice using Fisher's Exact and Chi Squared tests. Ninety-five surveys were completed. Though most participants agreed that firearm injury is an important public health issue that physicians can positively affect (92%), few had received prior firearm safety counseling education (27%). There were significant differences in firearm screening frequency, with rural physicians screening more often. More rural physicians and physicians with > 10 years of clinical practice felt they had adequate knowledge to provide meaningful counseling, compared with non-rural and early career physicians, respectively. Overall, 62% of participants were unaware of the 2021 Maine CAP law. This study highlights significant differences in firearm safety counseling practices among Maine physicians based on rurality and years of experience. Participants also reported a significant gap in knowledge of a recent state child access prevention law. Next steps include development of firearm safety counseling education tailored to Maine physicians., (© 2024.

46. Use of Syringe Service Programs in Rural vs Urban Maine: A Harm-Reduction Study.

Author: Miller LW, Murray KA, Branch ED, and Thakarar K
Abstract: Introduction: Syringe service programs (SSPs) reduce HIV and viral hepatitis transmission, as well as the prevalence of improperly disposed needles and needle stick injuries among first responders. Infections associated with injection drug use are rising in rural areas, including Maine, leading to concerns that SSP services are difficult to access for rural residents., Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 101 participants hospitalized with infections associated with injection drug use at 4 hospitals in Maine was collected over a 15-month period. Descriptive analyses were performed. Statistical analyses were completed using Fisher's exact tests, Pearson's chi-squared tests, and Student's t tests., Results: Of 101 participants, 66 (65%) lived in urban areas, and 35 (35%) lived rurally. Participants living in rural areas reported less SSP use in the past 3 months (76% urban vs 43% rural). Rural participants also had a higher prevalence of injecting buprenorphine than urban participants (6% urban vs 12% rural). Rural participants were also more likely to obtain needles from pharmacies than urban participants (40% urban vs 71% rural)., Discussion: SSP programs are underrepresented and accessed less in rural areas of Maine. Rural populations of people who inject drugs have unique health characteristics and syringe-use practices., Conclusions: These findings highlight the need to develop rural SSP programs that address the unique needs of rural populations., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: None

47. A Systematic Review of Retracted Publications in Clinical Orthopaedic Research.

Author: Call CM, Michalakes PC, Lachance AD, Zink TM, and McGrory BJ
Subjects: Humans, Scientific Misconduct statistics & numerical data, Periodicals as Topic, Orthopedics, Retraction of Publication as Topic, Biomedical Research
Abstract: Background: Retracted publications are an often-overlooked issue affecting the scientific community, and recent data confirms the overall number of retracted publications is rising. While this has previously been looked at within orthopaedic surgery, a contemporary understanding of retractions is required due to the rapid expansion in publications. Our study aimed to assess the retracted publications within clinical orthopaedic research to evaluate for characteristics and trends., Methods: A systematic review was conducted on December 14, 2023, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. There were 4 databases that were queried to identify retracted publications in clinical orthopaedics that assessed operative and nonoperative orthopaedic interventions (excluding basic science). Articles were independently screened by 2 reviewers; those meeting the inclusion criteria were evaluated for various characteristics, including reasons for retraction based on Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines., Results: There were 233 studies that met the inclusion criteria and were retracted between January 1, 1990, and December 14, 2023. Clinical orthopaedics represented 1.18% of all retracted publications identified through PubMed over this period. There were 87 articles that were retracted in 2023, up from 17 in 2022 (a 412% increase). Retracted studies were published in journals with 2022 impact factors up to 9.3, with an average of 3.1 (SD [standard deviation] 1.9). A total of 39.5% of the retracted studies were published in orthopaedic journals, and 60.9% of the retracted articles were published in exclusively open-access journals. The mean time from electronic publication to retraction was 2.1 years (SD 2.2). Retracted articles have been cited up to 180 times (mean 8.6; SD 20). Reasons for retraction included misconduct (45.9%), plagiarism (11.6%), redundant publication (11.6%), unethical research (10.3%), error (9.4%), and others (10.7%)., Conclusions: The prevalence of retractions in the clinical orthopaedic literature is increasing. Clinical research is the basis for clinical practice guidelines, the gold standard for informing medical decision-making. Retractions may be one harbinger of lower-quality publications; researchers, institutions, and journals together play important roles in maintaining scientific integrity., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

50. Neurohospitalist Core Competencies.

Author: Wold JJ, Robertson J, Jeevarajan JA, Knox MG, Thatikunta P, Solorzano GE, Galetta K, Dujari S, Goyal T, Ehrlich ME, Donnelly JP, Marriott E, Mandge VA, Dhoot RS, Luedke MW, Maas MB, Yu MY, Toledano M, Mustafa R, Palaganas JL, Kvam K, Dugue R, Meltzer E, Touma L, Shah MP, Douglas VC, Orjuela K, Scott BJ, Klein JP, Likosky DJ, Simpson JR, Richie MB, Dohle C, Morris JG, and Gold CA
Abstract: The Neurohospitalist Core Competencies comprise a set of competency-based learning objectives that encapsulate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of neurohospitalitists who specialize in the care of hospitalized patients with neurologic conditions. These competencies serve to characterize the rapidly expanding field of neurohospitalist medicine. The 27 chapters are divided into 3 sections entitled: neurological conditions, clinical interventions and interpretation of ancillary studies, and neurohospitalist role in the healthcare system. Each individual learning objective in the chapters describes a specific concept with an action verb to illustrate the behavior that the neurohospitalist exhibits. The individual neurohospitalist may not exhibit mastery in each of the topics included as individual practices vary in scope and practice pattern. A few examples of how the complete set of competencies may be used include in the creation of curricula for neurohospitalist fellowships, to assist in defining the scope of practice of neurohospitalists for administrative leaders of hospitals and departments, and in influencing the direction of further research and quality improvement in the field., (© The Author(s) 2024.)
