    Abstract For fingerprint searching using multiple active reference compounds, an information entropy-based similarity method is introduced as an alternative to conventional similarity coefficients and search strategies. The approach involves the determination of the fingerprint bit pattern entropy of a compound reference set and recalculation of the entropy following the addition of individual test compounds. If a database compound shares similar bit patterns with reference set molecules, adding this compound to the reference set only produces a small change in system entropy. By contrast, inclusion of a compound having a dissimilar fingerprint leads to a notable increase in entropy. Thus, database compounds can be screened for candidate molecules that do not cause significant changes in reference set fingerprint entropy. Compared to nearest neighbor methods, this approach has the computational advantage that it extracts reference set information only once prior to similarity searching. Test calculations on different compound data sets, fingerprints, and screening databases reveal that the ability of our entropy-based method to detect active compounds is often superior to data fusion techniques and Tanimoto similarity calculations.

    Abstract Abstract: A collision tumor is an infrequent phenomenon characterized by the presence of 2 histologically distinct tumor types (either benign or malignant) occurring within the same specific anatomical site. We describe a rare case of co-occurrence of basal cell carcinoma and atypical fibroxanthoma presenting as a single lesion on the scalp in a 76-year-old man. The lesion was clinically suspicious for basal cell carcinoma and biopsied. Histologic examination showed 2 distinct tumors, one with basaloid cells and the other one with pleomorphic spindle cells colliding and growing together. Immunohistochemical stains were crucial in establishing the diagnosis. This presentation is exceedingly rare and requires additional evaluation for diagnosis.

    Abstract Aim: The current study sought to conceptualize and reach consensus on the principles of trauma-informed care in early intervention psychosis services.
    Methods: A three-phase Delphi method was employed in this study. Experts included researchers, service providers and Experts by Experience in the area of early intervention in psychosis. In the initial qualitative phase, an expert panel (n = 57) shared their views on the constituents of trauma-informed care in early intervention psychosis services. Thematic analysis led to the generation of statement items. The expert panel was asked to rate the extent to which each statement item was an essential principle of trauma-informed care, leading to consensus of endorsed principles.
    Results: Qualitative analysis of the first phase data led to the identification of 185 distinct statements which were compiled into an online questionnaire for the panel to rate in Phase 2. The Phase 2 questionnaire was completed by 42 experts, with the endorsement of seven principles. In Phase 3, the panel were invited to re-rate 24 statements. This phase was completed by 39 panel members, with the acceptance of a further nine principles. Consensus was achieved resulting in the endorsement of 16 essential principles of trauma-informed care.
    Conclusions: The study offers novel understanding of the conceptualisation of trauma-informed care in early intervention services and suggests principles which are widely agreed by experts in the field. The recommendations may inform the adoption of consistently delivered trauma-informed care in early interventions in psychosis and facilitate the evaluation and development of services.

    Abstract Aims: To examine the structure of the Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ-16) in a non-help-seeking population through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Previous studies have not looked at the structure of this self-report measure outside clinical settings.
    Methods: Participants (n = 1045) were recruited through Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk), and then completed the PQ-16. The data set was split randomly in two, one being used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the other for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A polychoric correlation matrix was created and EFA was used to explore the factor structure of the PQ-16. Four models were tested through CFA to determine best fit: one, two, three and four-factor models were all analysed.
    Results: EFA indicated a two-factor structure in the PQ-16 in a non-help-seeking population (with a mean age = 29.7 years). Factor 1 represented perceptual abnormalities/hallucinations and factor 2 general symptoms associated with psychosis-risk. CFA indicated that all the proposed models were suitable fits for the dataset. Fit indices for the three-factor model (factor 1 representing perceptual abnormalities/hallucinations, factor 2 unusual thought content, and factor 3 negative symptom) indicated that it appeared to be a better fit for the data than the one, two, and four factor models.
    Conclusions: This study suggests that a three-factor model of the PQ-16 is a better fit than other proposed models in a non-help-seeking population. Future research of the structure of the PQ-16 in this population may benefit from recruiting subjects with a lower mean age than the current study.

    Abstract Aim: To determine if poor sleep makes a unique contribution in predicting the likelihood of experiencing six or more attenuated psychotic symptoms and associated distress, after examining and controlling for sociodemographic factors, depression and drug/alcohol use.
    Method: An online survey was conducted using Amazon's online crowdsourcing service Mechanical Turk (MTurk). The sample was 1013 adults (18 to 36 years) from the general population in the United States. The survey consisted of the Prodromal Questionnaire 16 (PQ-16), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Patient Health Questionnaire 9, the Drug Abuse Screening Test 10 and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Regression analyses were performed with the PQ-16 as the dependent variable, and sleep quality as the predictor variable, holding constant sociodemographic variables, depression, and alcohol/drug abuse.
    Results: 37% of the sample endorsed six or more PQ-16 items, which may be suggestive of an at-risk mental state, with sleep disturbance significantly increasing the likelihood (Odds ratio 2.09 < .001) of endorsing six or more PQ-16 items. After controlling for sociodemographic variables, depression and drug/alcohol abuse, poor sleep quality made a unique contribution of 5.8% of the variance accounted for in level of distress experienced by attenuated psychotic symptoms.
    Conclusion: Effective treatment of sleep disturbance may reduce the likelihood ofexperiencing attenuated psychotic symptoms and associated distress.

    Abstract Conspecific attraction during habitat selection is common among animals, but the ultimate (i.e. fitness‐related) reasons for this behaviour often remain enigmatic. We aimed to evaluate the following three hypotheses for conspecific attraction during the breeding season in male Wood Warblers (Phylloscopus sibilatrix): the habitat detection hypothesis, the habitat choice copying hypothesis and the female preference hypothesis. These hypotheses make different predictions with respect to the relative importance of social and nonsocial information during habitat assessment, and whether benefits accrue as a consequence of aggregation. We tested the above hypotheses using a combination of a 2‐year playback experiment, spatial statistics and mate choice models. The habitat detection hypothesis was the most likely explanation for conspecific attraction and aggregation in male Wood Warblers, based on the following results: (1) males were attracted to conspecific song playbacks, but fine‐scale habitat heterogeneity was the better predictor of spatial patterns in the density of settling males; (2) male pairing success did not increase, but instead slightly decreased, as connectivity with other males (i.e. the number and proximity of neighbouring males) increased. Our study highlights how consideration of the process by which animals detect and assess habitat, together with the potential fitness consequences of resulting aggregations, are important for understanding conspecific attraction and spatially clustered distributions.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sex on mid-term outcomes following stenting for aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD).
    Methods: The Covered versus Balloon Expandable Stent Trial (COBEST) compared the safety and efficacy of the covered stent (CS) with those of the bare metal stent (BMS) in the treatment of hemodynamically significant AIOD. It was identified that CS provided a significant benefit. The primary endpoint of our analysis was the rate of primary patency 5 years following stenting for AIOD (inclusive of both CS and BMS) in both sexes.
    Results: Of the 168 lesions treated, 103 (61%) were present in men and 65 (39%) were present in women. Of the concomitant comorbidities, diabetes mellitus was significantly more common in women (17.5% vs 41.5%,
    Conclusions: No significant difference was identified in the primary patency rate between the sexes. Further investigation is warranted to ascertain whether sex-specific interventional guidelines are required in this regard.
