    Abstract Purpose: The SCOFF questionnaire was designed as a simple, memorable screening tool to raise suspicion that a person might have an eating disorder. It is over 20 years since the creation of the SCOFF, during which time it has been widely used. Considering this, we wish to review the use of the SCOFF in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and to assess whether it is being used appropriately in the manner in which it was originally devised and tested.
    Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and all search strategies and methods were determined before the onset of the study. PubMed and Wiley Online Library were searched using the terms SCOFF and eating. Two reviewers were involved in the reviewing process. Criteria for appropriate use of the SCOFF were formalised with the tool's original authors.
    Results: 180 articles were included in the final review. 48 articles had used the SCOFF appropriately, 117 articles inappropriately and 15 articles had been mixed in the appropriateness of their use.
    Conclusion: This systematic review highlights the inappropriate use of the SCOFF in diverse languages and settings. When used correctly the SCOFF has made a significant contribution to the understanding of eating disorders and its simplicity has been applauded and led to widespread use. However in over two-thirds of studies, the use of the SCOFF was inappropriate and the paper highlights how and in what way it was misused, Guidelines for the appropriate use of the SCOFF are stated. Future validation and avenues of research are suggested.

    Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the bladder (IMTB) are rare neoplasms that can occur in children. These tumors have uncertain malignant potential and can present similarly to bladder sarcomas. It is important to differentiate between IMTB and bladder sarcomas using a careful immunohistochemical approach. We report a case of IMTB in a 12-year-old girl who presented with presyncope and gross hematuria. IMTB was diagnosed through immunohistochemical analysis, and clinical improvement was observed after resection of the tumor.

    Abstract Objectives: Anaemia is a frequent extra-articular manifestation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA); haemoglobin level changes are associated with changes in disease activity. This post-hoc analysis assessed potential relationships between haemoglobin and disease activity in Japanese patients with RA, enrolled in the KAKEHASI study (NCT02293902).
    Methods: In this study, adult patients with moderate-to-severe active RA, who had an inadequate response to methotrexate, were randomised to subcutaneous sarilumab 150 mg every 2 weeks (q2w) or 200 mg q2w or placebo for 24 weeks. Post-hoc analyses were conducted on changes in haemoglobin and proportion of anaemic patients, using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures assuming an unstructured covariance. Relationships between haemoglobin and efficacy measures were explored.
    Results: At baseline, nearly half of patients had anaemia, defined by World Health Organization criteria (haemoglobin <12 g/dL, female; or <13 g/dL, male). At Week 24, the least squares mean change in haemoglobin levels was greater in sarilumab groups than for placebo (150 mg: 1.23 g/dL, 200 mg: 1.19 g/dL, placebo: 0.17 g/dL; p=0.0002 for both doses vs. placebo). By Week 24, the proportion of patients with anaemia was 17.8%, 22.9%, and 30.1% for sarilumab 150 mg, 200 mg, and placebo, respectively.
    Conclusions: In Japanese patients with RA, both doses of sarilumab were associated with greater improvement in haemoglobin levels and reduction in proportion of patients with anaemia, compared with placebo. Sarilumab may be a suitable treatment for patients with RA and anaemia.

    Abstract Clonal cytopenias of undetermined significance (CCUS) are associated with an increased risk of developing a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS); however, the mechanism and factors associated with evolution remain unclear. We propose that next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cytopenic cases with equivocal morphologic dysplasia will improve patient clinical care and that serial sequencing of such equivocal cases could identify the factors that predict evolution to MDS. We performed targeted NGS of samples from 193 individuals with confirmed or suspected MDS or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm, including sequential investigation for 28 individuals at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up. NGS facilitated the diagnosis of all suspicious cases as myeloid neoplasm (21%), CCUS (34%), or idiopathic cytopenias of undetermined significance (45%) when no variants were detected. We found that there was no significant difference in most measured clinical features or clonal phenotypes, such as cell counts, number of variants, variant allele frequencies, and overall survival, between CCUS and International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised-defined low-risk MDS. However, there was a significant difference in the types of variants between CCUS and low-risk MDS, with a significantly lower number of splicing factor mutations in CCUS cases (P < .001). Moreover, we observed an increased probability of evolution to MDS of individuals with CCUS compared with that in those with idiopathic cytopenias of undetermined significance over the first 5 years (P = .045). Our analyses revealed no conclusive pattern associating clonal expansion or the number of variants with the evolution of CCUS to MDS, perhaps further supporting the similarity of these diseases and the clinical importance of recognizing and formally defining CCUS as a category of precursor myeloid disease state in the next revision of the World Health Organization guidelines.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of switching from adalimumab to sarilumab monotherapy in partial responders with rheumatoid arthritis from the MONARCH randomized trial and its open-label extension (OLE).
    Methods: Partial response was defined as improvement in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of 12 or 6 units (baseline score: >22 or >10 and ≤22, respectively). Proportions of adalimumab partial responders with meaningful worsening or improvement at OLE weeks 12 and 24 were evaluated using 2 CDAI thresholds (≥6 and ≥12 points), 28-joint Disease Activity Score using erythrocyte sedimentation rate (≥0.6 and ≥1.2 points), Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (≥0.22 and ≥0.30 points), Simple Disease Activity Index (≥7 and ≥13 points), physician and patient global assessments (≥10 and ≥20), and 28-joint swollen and tender joint counts (≥1 and ≥2 joints). Outcomes were analyzed using mixed-effect models with repeated measures for observed cases. The p values were produced using Wilcoxon tests.
    Results: Of 369 enrolled patients, 320 (87%) entered the OLE and 155 switched from adalimumab to sarilumab; 59% (91/155) were partial responders. At week 24, 4%-17% and 2%-12% of partial responders experienced a worsening using the lower and higher thresholds, respectively, whereas 47%-78% and 27%-66% experienced improvement.
    Conclusions: Partial responders to adalimumab who switched to sarilumab had a low likelihood of experiencing meaningful worsening, with most patients showing meaningful improvement or no change in disease activity. This may help alleviate patients' fears of worsening when considering switching to a treatment with a different mechanism of action.

    Abstract Abstract Political will is a critical determinant of the success or failure of environmental policies and interventions. Harnessing the political will necessary to implement environmental solutions can be challenging because environmental priorities may compete with other societal interests in policymaking. Environmental solutions are more politically feasible if fundamentally aligned with the core interests of key policymakers. Understanding the political agendas of decision‐makers enables conservationists to identify where political will already exists, and allows environmental objectives to piggyback on the motivation to deliver results. In this paper, we explore the core interests of the Chinese leadership to uncover opportunities to leverage Beijing's political will for sustainability and conservation gains. China's growing influence on ecosystems and natural resource use both within and beyond its borders makes an analysis of its leadership's political will valuable and timely.

    Abstract Objectives: In some patients with RA, joint pain is more severe than expected based on the amount of joint swelling [referred to as disproportionate articular pain (DP)]. We assessed DP prevalence and the effects of sarilumab, an IL-6 inhibitor, on DP.
    Methods: Data from RA patients treated with placebo or 200 mg sarilumab in the phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) MOBILITY and TARGET, adalimumab 40 mg or sarilumab 200 mg in the phase 3 RCT MONARCH and sarilumab 200 mg in open-label extensions (OLEs) were used. DP was defined as an excess tender 28-joint count (TJC28) over swollen 28-joint count (SJC28) of ≥7 (TJC28 - SJC28 ≥ 7). Treatment response and disease activity were determined for patients with and without DP.
    Results: Of 1531 sarilumab 200 mg patients from RCTs, 353 (23%) had baseline DP. On average, patients with DP had higher 28-joint DAS using CRP (DAS28-CRP) and pain scores than patients without DP, whereas CRP levels were similar. After 12 and 24 weeks, patients with baseline DP treated with sarilumab were more likely to be DP-free than those treated with placebo or adalimumab. In RCTs, more sarilumab-treated patients achieved low disease activity vs comparators, regardless of baseline DP status. In OLEs, patients were more likely to lose rather than gain DP status.
    Conclusion: About one-quarter of patients with RA experienced DP, which responded well to sarilumab. These data support the concept that other mechanisms (potentially mediated via IL-6) in addition to inflammation may contribute to DP in RA.
