    Abstract The interglacial known as Marine Isotope Stage 11 has been proposed to be analogous to the Holocene, owing to similarities in the amplitudes of orbital forcing. It has been difficult to compare the periods, however, because of the long duration of Stage 11 and a lack of detailed knowledge of any extreme climate events that may have occurred. Here we use the distinctive phasing between seasurface temperatures and the oxygen-isotope records of benthic foraminifera in the southeast Atlantic Ocean to stratigraphically align the Holocene interglacial with the first half of the Marine Isotope Stage 11 interglacial optimum. This alignment suggests that the second half of Marine Isotope Stage 11 should not be used as a reference for 'pre-anthropogenic' greenhouse-gas emissions. By compiling benthic carbon-isotope records from sites in the Atlantic Ocean on a single timescale, we also find that meridional overturning circulation strengthened about 415,000 years ago, at a time of high orbital obliquity. We propose that this mechanism transported heat to the high northern latitudes, inhibiting significant ice-sheet build-up and prolonging interglacial conditions. We suggest that this mechanism may have also prolonged other interglacial periods throughout the past 800,000 years.

    Abstract Objective: To summarize recent data on the association between gut microbiome composition and food allergy (FA) in early childhood and highlight potential host-microbiome interactions that reinforce or abrogate oral tolerance.
    Data sources: PubMed search of English-language articles related to FA, other atopic disease, and the gut microbiome in pregnancy and early childhood.
    Study selections: Human studies published after 2015 assessing the relationship between the gut bacteriome and virome in the first 2 years of life and FA or food sensitization development in early childhood were prioritized. Additional human studies conducted on the prenatal gut microbiome or other atopic diseases and preclinical studies are also discussed.
    Results: Children who developed FA harbored lower abundances of Bifidobacterium and Clostridia species and had a less mature microbiome during infancy. The early bacterial microbiome protects against FA through production of anti-inflammatory metabolites and induction of T regulatory cells and may also affect FA risk through a role in trained immunity. Infant enteric phage communities are related to childhood asthma development, though no data are available for FA. Maternal gut microbiome during pregnancy is associated with childhood FA risk, potentially through transplacental delivery of maternal bacterial metabolites, though human studies are lacking.
    Conclusion: The maternal and infant microbiomes throughout the first 1000 days of life influence FA risk through a number of proposed mechanisms. Further large, longitudinal cohort studies using taxonomic, functional, and metabolomic analysis of the bacterial and viral microbiomes are needed to provide further insight on the host-microbe interactions underlying FA pathogenesis in childhood.

    Abstract Now recognized as more than just the result of overeating or the consumption of poor-quality foods, obesity is understood to be a multifactorial disease, strongly correlated with a variety of environment-gene interactions. In addressing the complex public health issue of obesity, medical practitioners, along with their allied healthcare counterparts, face the challenge of reducing its prevalence by utilizing and sharing with patients the current, yet incomplete, scientific knowledge concerning the disease. While continued research is required to strengthen direct cause-effect relationships, substantial evidence links post-translational modifications such as DNA methylation and histone modifications of several candidate "obesity" genes to the predilection for obesity. Additional evidence supports the influence of maternal diet during the gestational period, individual diet, and other lifestyle and genetic factors in obesity. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the current information concerning epigenetic modifications that appear to support, or result from, the development of obesity. Such mechanisms may serve as therapeutic targets for developing novel prevention and/or treatment strategies for obesity or as epigenetic biomarkers for monitoring recovery.

    Abstract Background: Radiographic changes might not fully capture the treatment effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We aimed to assess correlations of overall response rate and progression-free survival with overall survival in trials of ICIs for metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
    Methods: To assess trial-level and patient-level correlations of overall response rate and progression-free survival with overall survival, we conducted a pooled analysis of first-line randomised trials (including patients aged ≥18 years with metastatic squamous and non-squamous NSCLC and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1) submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration from June 24, 2016, to March 16, 2021. Eligible trials evaluated at least one ICI in the experimental group versus chemotherapy in the control group. At the trial level, we used weighted linear regression to derive coefficients of determination (R
    Findings: A total of 13 trials including 9285 patients evaluated ICIs alone or in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone. At the trial level, the R
    Interpretation: Correlations of overall response rate and progression-free survival with overall survival were generally moderate in this pooled analysis. The findings support routine analysis of mature overall survival data, where feasible, in first-line randomised trials of ICIs for metastatic NSCLC.

    Abstract CONTEXT: Maintenance of connectivity is a commonly recommended strategy for species management and conservation as habitat loss and fragmentation continues. Therefore, functional connectivity modeling is needed for species over large geographic areas. However, sex-specific functional connectivity is rarely considered, even though the results of such an analysis have the potential to influence applied management practices. OBJECTIVES: We use a large (n = 1902) genetic dataset to identify population level and sex-specific functional connectivity for cougars in Washington, USA. METHODS: We conducted a landscape genetics analysis that pseudo-optimized resistance surfaces for the full sample of cougars as well as for male and female groups. We then modeled connectivity across the top performing resistance surfaces with resistant kernels. RESULTS: The top resistance surface for females had higher resistance and lower connectivity than the males and had more spatial variability. However, we also observed greater resistance to movement and a lack of connectivity for males in and around the Olympic Peninsula. The resistance surface and connectivity models for all cougars contained both the broad features of the male models and the more heterogeneous features of the female models, indicating the importance of both local and regional dispersal and breeding. CONCLUSIONS: In species with sex-specific differences in movement and dispersal, accounting for these differences can be important for understanding functional connectivity. For cougars in Washington, this revealed depressed connectivity for males on the Olympic Peninsula which may indicate a more immediate management concern for the future of this population than previously thought.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if running biomechanical variables measured by wearable technology were prospectively associated with running injuries in Active Duty Soldiers. A total of 171 Soldiers wore a shoe pod that collected data on running foot strike pattern, step rate, step length and contact time for 6 weeks. Running-related injuries were determined by medical record review 12 months post-study enrollment. Differences in running biomechanics between injured and non-injured runners were compared using independent t-tests or ANCOVA for continuous variables and chi-square analyses for the association of categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate the time to a running-related injury. Risk factors were carried forward to estimate hazard ratios using Cox proportional hazard regression models. Forty-one participants (24%) sustained a running-related injury. Injured participants had a lower step rate than non-injured participants, but step rate did not have a significant effect on time to injury. Participants with the longest contact time were at a 2.25 times greater risk for a running-related injury; they were also relatively slower, heavier, and older. Concomitant with known demographic risk factors for injury, contact time may be an additional indicator of a running-related injury risk in Active Duty Soldiers.

    Abstract Background: Tissue expanders in breast reconstruction are traditionally placed retropectoral. Increasingly, patients are undergoing prepectoral placement. The impact of this placement on the initiation of adjuvant treatment is unknown.
    Methods: A retrospective review was conducted to identify women diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent mastectomy followed by radiation and/or chemotherapy. Women were divided into 3 groups: prepectoral tissue expander placement, retropectoral tissue expander placement, and no immediate reconstruction. A treatment delay was defined as greater than 8 weeks between tissue expander placement and adjuvant therapy.
    Results: Of 634 women, 205 (32%) underwent tissue expander placement, and 429 (68%) did not have immediate reconstruction. Of those with tissue expanders placed, 84 (41%) had prepectoral placement, and 121 (59%) had retropectoral placement. The median time to adjuvant therapy was 49 days for the entire cohort: no reconstruction, 47 days; prepectoral, 57 days; and retropectoral, 55 days. Treatment delays were observed in 34% of women: no reconstruction, 28%; prepectoral, 51%; and retropectoral, 46% ( P < 0.001). Tissue expander placement was associated with a delay to adjuvant therapy when compared with no reconstruction ( P < 0.001). The location of the tissue expander did not impact the odds of having a delay. On multivariable analysis, having reconstruction, having postoperative infection, not undergoing chemotherapy treatment, and being a current smoker were associated with a delay to adjuvant therapy. A delay to treatment was not associated with worse survival.
    Conclusions: Placement of a tissue expander delayed adjuvant therapy. The location of tissue expander placement, retropectoral versus prepectoral, did not impact the time to adjuvant treatment.
