    Abstract Pediatric patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) have symptoms that include abdominal pain, weight loss or poor weight gain, malnutrition, and steatorrhea. This condition can be present at birth or develop during childhood for certain genetic disorders. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most prevalent disorder in which patients are screened for EPI; other disorders also are associated with pancreatic dysfunction, such as hereditary pancreatitis, Pearson syndrome, and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. Understanding the clinical presentation and proposed pathophysiology of the pancreatic dysfunction of these disorders aids in diagnosis and treatment. Testing pancreatic function is challenging. Directly testing aspirates produced from the pancreas after stimulation is considered the gold standard, but the procedures are not standardized or widely available. Instead, indirect tests are often used in diagnosis and monitoring. Although indirect tests are more widely available and easier to perform, they have inherent limitations due to a lack of sensitivity and/or specificity for EPI.

    Abstract The 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is an ongoing global pandemic with a worldwide death toll of over 416,000 as of June 10, 2020. Although the first documented cases in Wuhan, China were patients with severe respiratory symptoms including cough, fever, fatigue, and shortness of breath, the disease process can also be asymptomatic. In this case report, an asymptomatic 63-year-old male with Lynch syndrome undergoing a routine staging fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography was found to have typical radiologic features of COVID-19 with marked pulmonary FDG uptake and was subsequently diagnosed via reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Many studies have described the appearance of COVID-19 on chest radiography and CT with the most common imaging features being bilateral, peripheral, and basilar predominant ground glass opacities and consolidation. Although these findings are typically nonspecific for an atypical lung infection, early recognition of COVID-19 in the setting of a global pandemic (even in the asymptomatic patient) is critical in order to limit the spread of disease.

    Abstract In marine sediments surrounding salmon aquaculture sites, organic matter (OM) enrichment has been shown to influence resident bacterial community composition; however, additional effects on these communities due to combined use of the sea-lice therapeutant emamectin benzoate (EMB) and the widely used antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) are unknown. Here, we use sediment microcosms to assess the influence of OM, EMB, and OTC on benthic bacterial communities. Microcosms consisted of mud or sand sediments enriched with OM (fish and feed wastes) and spiked with EMB and OTC at environmentally-relevant concentrations. Samples were collected from initial matrices at the initiation of the trial and after 110 days for 16 S rRNA gene sequencing of the V3-V4 region and microbiome profiling. The addition of OM in both mud and sand sediments reduced alpha diversities; for example, an average of 1106 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were detected in mud with no OM addition, while only 729 and 596 ASVs were detected in mud with low OM and high OM, respectively. Sediments enriched with OM had higher relative abundances of Spirochaetota, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidota. For instance, Spirochaetota were detected in sediments with no OM with a relative abundance range of 0.01-1.2%, while in sediments enriched with OM relative abundance varied from 0.16% to 26.1%. In contrast, the addition of EMB (60 ng/g) or OTC (150 ng/g) did not result in distinct taxonomic shifts in the bacterial communities compared to un-spiked sediments during the timeline of this experiment. EMB and OTC concentrations may have been below effective inhibitor concentrations for taxa in these communities; further work should explore gene content and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in sediment-dwelling bacteria.

    Abstract Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly once patients develop critical limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). Minorities and vulnerable populations often present with CLTI and experience worse outcomes. The use of directional atherectomy (DA) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) during lower-extremity revascularization (LER) has not been previously described in a safety-net population.
    Objective: To review demographic and clinical characteristics, and short- intermediate term outcomes of patients presenting to a safety-net hospital with PAD treated with DA and DCB during LER.
    Methods: In this retrospective, observational cohort study, chart review was performed of all patients who underwent DA and DCB during LER for PAD from April 2016 to January 2020 in a safety-net hospital.
    Results: The analysis included 58 patients, with 41% female, 24% Black/African American, and 31% Hispanic. From this group, 17% spoke a non-English primary language and 10% reported current or previous housing insecurity. Most (65%) presented with CLTI and had undergone a previous index leg LER (58%). The combination of DA and DCB was efficacious, resulting in low rates of bail-out stenting (16%) and target-vessel revascularization (26%) at 2 years. Low complication rates (tibial embolism in 12% and vessel perforation in 2% of cases) were also observed. Most patients (67%) with Rutherford category 5 experienced wound healing by 2 years.
    Conclusion: In this safety-net population, the majority presented with CLTI and a previous LER of the index leg. The combination of DA and DCB resulted in low complication rates, and good short-intermediate outcomes in this frequently undertreated population.

    Abstract Introduction: E-cigarette retail surveillance is needed during regulatory changes, like the U.S. increasing minimum legal sales age to 21 (T21) and flavor restrictions (2019 and 2020) and certain state/localities increasing related restrictions.
    Aims and methods: We examined regulatory compliance (eg, minimum-age signage), promotional strategies (eg, health claims), and products at 2 timepoints among vape shops across six U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs; Atlanta, Boston, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, San Diego, Seattle). In summer 2018, pairs of trained auditors assessed randomly selected shops (n = ~30/MSA). In fall 2021, audits were conducted among 2018 shops (if open and allowed) and additional randomly selected shops (n = ~20/MSA). Data from 179 shops in 2018 and 119 in 2021 (43 from the 2018 sample) were compared.
    Results: There were decreases (p < .01) in the proportion of shops with (1) minimum-age signs (90.5% vs. 73.9%), (2) their own e-liquid brand (68.2% vs. 44.5%), onsite vaping (73.2% vs. 46.2%), counter seating (65.2% vs. 34.5%), and e-liquid sampling (90.0% vs. 33.6%), and (3) signs with product/price promotions (89.9% vs. 65.5%), health/cessation claims (29.1% vs. 12.6%), and cartoon imagery (27.4% vs. 11.8%). The proportions selling wet/dry vaporizers (26.4% vs. 39.5%), CBD products (23.3% vs. 71.4%), and pipes/glassware/papers (18.4% vs. 52.9%) increased. In 2021, many sold THC (12.6% e-liquids, 62.2% other products) and kratom (40.3%).
    Conclusions: With increasing restrictions (eg, on flavors, sampling, and T21), fewer shops sold their own e-liquid brands or accommodated onsite use/sampling, but fewer also posted minimum-age signage. Notably, more offered cannabis-related products. These changes underscore the need for comprehensive surveillance to assess regulatory impact.
    Implications: The past 6 years marked increasing e-cigarette sales restrictions in the United States, yet limited research has examined the implications for tobacco specialty shops selling e-cigarettes. This study found that, from 2018 to 2021, there were significant decreases in the proportion of vape shops with their own e-liquid, onsite vaping, e-liquid sampling, lounge/counter seating, and price promotions, as well as minimum-age signs. There were increases in the proportion selling cannabis-derived products and related paraphernalia. Tobacco control research and regulatory agencies must consider how tobacco specialty stores have evolved alongside legislative changes that impact them and consumers.

    Abstract Background: Analysis of lipoprotein size and composition by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been advocated as a method for identifying individuals at high CVD risk. We compared risk stratification between NMR-based LDL particle number (LDL-PNUM), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein B (apoB).
    Methods: Retrospective data from patients with simultaneous orders for LDL-PNUM, LDL-C, and apoB were analyzed and included data from an NMR assay (Numares). Quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed. Additional lipid parameters were investigated for patients with discordant risk classifications in LDL-related measurements. The percent change of LDL-PNUM was compared to the percent change of LDL-C or apoB for patients with serial measurements.
    Results: We observed good quantitative and qualitative correlation when comparing LDL-PNUM to either LDL-C or apoB (Spearman's ρ ≥ 0.83, percent agreements ≥ 85%). Among the patients with discordant risk stratification, most had increased LDL-PNUM and normal LDL-C and apoB. For patients with serial measurements, a strong correlation between the LDL-PNUM percent change and the LDL-C or apoB percent change was observed (Spearman's ρ > 0.93).
    Conclusion: For many patients, risk stratification of LDL-PNUM is similar to apoB or LDL-C using cut-offs proposed by guidelines.

    Abstract The 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is an ongoing global pandemic with a worldwide death toll of over 416,000 as of June 10, 2020. Although the first documented cases in Wuhan, China were patients with severe respiratory symptoms including cough, fever, fatigue, and shortness of breath, the disease process can also be asymptomatic. In this case report, an asymptomatic 63-year-old male with Lynch syndrome undergoing a routine staging fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography was found to have typical radiologic features of COVID-19 with marked pulmonary FDG uptake and was subsequently diagnosed via reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Many studies have described the appearance of COVID-19 on chest radiography and CT with the most common imaging features being bilateral, peripheral, and basilar predominant ground glass opacities and consolidation. Although these findings are typically nonspecific for an atypical lung infection, early recognition of COVID-19 in the setting of a global pandemic (even in the asymptomatic patient) is critical in order to limit the spread of disease.
