    Abstract To maintain cadence with looming threats in a prolonged field-care environment, the broader medical countermeasure (MCM) enterprise must adopt new strategies for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)-addressing drug development. The Countering Emerging Threats - Rapid Acquisition and Investigation of Drugs for Repurposing (CET RAIDR) program within the Joint Program Manager for CBRN Medical is designed to rapidly tackle known, unknown, and emerging threats by utilizing late-stage or licensed therapeutics. The focus of the CET RAIDR effort is to bridge treatment gaps between threat identification and the implementation of licensed targeted MCMs, thereby strengthening warfighter resiliency. The repurposing approach conserves both time to market and funds by leveraging previous conventional development work as a launch point for repurposing efforts. The CET RAIDR program minimizes development and procurement costs by supplementing the military medical providers' toolbox with post-phase II therapies that demonstrate established safety and manufacturing processes, leading to a cost-sparing model for niche medicines (i.e., CBRN MCMs). SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Countering Emerging Threats - Rapid Acquisition and Investigation of Drugs for Repurposing program candidates are selected based on several pillars: a proven human safety profile, the availability of tools and validated literature on the drug's mechanism of action, well defined assays, and/or animal models to demonstrate efficacy, as well as collaborations with willing and trusted industry partners. This broader repurposing approach to address the growing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threat landscape will better safeguard the warfighter against well documented or unpredictable threats when a direct-acting medical countermeasure is unavailable or not yet conceived.

    Abstract Preventive care or follow-up care have the potential to improve health outcomes, reduce disease in the population, and decrease health care costs in the long-term (1). Approximately one half of persons in the United States receive general recommended preventive services (2,3). Missed physician appointments can hinder the receipt of needed health care (4). With electronic health record (EHR) systems able to improve interaction and communication between patients and providers (5), electronic reminders are used to decrease missed care. These reminders can improve various types of preventive and follow-up care, such as immunizations (6) and cancer screening (7); however, computerized capability must exist to make use of these reminders. To examine this capability among U.S. office-based physicians, data from the National Electronic Health Records Survey (NEHRS) for 2017, the most recent data available, were analyzed. An estimated 64.7% of office-based physicians had computerized capability to identify patients who were due for preventive or follow-up care, with 72.9% of primary care physicians and 71.4% of physicians with an EHR system having this capability compared with surgeons (54.8%), nonprimary care physicians (58.5%), and physicians without an EHR system (23.4%). Having an EHR system is associated with the ability to send electronic reminders to increase receipt of preventive or follow-up care, which has been shown to improve patient health outcomes (8).

    Abstract Background: While racial and ethnic disparities are well documented in access to total joint arthroplasty (TJA), little is known about the association between having limited English proficiency (LEP) and postoperative care access. This study seeks to correlate LEP status with rates of revision surgery after hip and knee arthroplasty.
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥ 18 years who underwent either total hip or total knee arthroplasty between January 2013 and December 2021 at a single academic medical center. The predictor variable was English proficiency status, where LEP was defined as having a primary language that was not English. Multivariable regressions controlling for potential demographic and clinical confounders were used to calculate adjusted odds ratios of undergoing revision surgery within 1 and 2 years after primary arthroplasty for patients who have LEP, compared to English proficient patients.
    Results: A total of 7,985 hip and knee arthroplasty surgeries were included in the analysis. There were 577 (7.2%) patients who were classified as having LEP. Patients who have LEP were less likely to undergo revision surgeries within 1 year (1.4% versus 3.2%, P = .01) and 2 years (1.7% versus 3.9%, P = .006) of primary TJA. Patients who have LEP had adjusted odds ratios of 0.45 (confidence interval: 0.22-0.92, P = .03) and 0.44 (confidence interval: 0.23-0.85, P = .01) of receiving revision surgery within 1 and 2 years, respectively.
    Conclusion: Patients who have LEP, compared to English proficient patients, were less likely to undergo revision surgeries at the same institution up to 2 years after hip and knee arthroplasty. These findings suggest that patients who have LEP may face barriers in accessing postoperative care.

    Abstract The gold standard for measuring insulin sensitivity (IS) is the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, a time, costly, and labor-intensive research tool. A low insulin sensitivity is associated with a complication-risk in type 1 diabetes. Various formulae using clinical data have been developed and correlated with measured IS in type 1 diabetes. We consolidated multiple formulae into an online calculator (bit.ly/estimated-GDR), enabling comparison of IS and its probability of IS <4.45 mg/kg/min (low) or >6.50 mg/kg/min (high), as measured in a validation set of clamps in 104 adults with type 1 diabetes. Insulin sensitivity calculations using different formulae varied significantly, with correlations (R

    Abstract Introduction: Augmentation pharyngoplasty (AP) is a technique that may effectively treat velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), while avoiding typical short and long term surgical risks. This study seeks to determine if children with VPI treated by AP with calcium hydoxylapatite (CaHa) demonstrate clinically significant improvement in speech outcomes.
    Methods: Retrospective review (2012-2016) of prospectively collected database of children with VPI, cared for at a single tertiary children's hospital. Preoperative speech assessment, nasometry, and video nasendoscopy were used to identify patients with VPI treated by AP with CaHa. Demographics, surgical/speech outcomes, complications, novel surgical technique and follow-up were recorded. Main outcome measures included pre and postoperative nasality and perceptual speech assessments, based on the Pittsburgh Weighted Values for Speech (PWS).
    Results: 17 patients treated with AP with CaHa, as initial primary treatment for VPI, were identified. 8 patients had cleft palate, 9 patients had isolated VPI. Mean age at treatment was 6.6 years, with no operative complications. Mean nasality scores before and after surgery were 3.2 vs. 0.5 (p < 0.001). Mean PWS before and after surgery were 9.7 vs. 2.1 (p < 0.001). Based on the PWS scoring, 4/8 of cleft patients (50%) and 8/9 of isolated patients (89%) achieved a competent/borderline competent nasopharyngeal valve. 17/17 of patients (100%) had improvement in nasality. Mean length of follow-up was 32.8 months (range 10-64 months).
    Conclusion: In this largest series of patients to date, AP with CaHa is a safe, minimally invasive, enduring treatment for VPI in properly selected patients. Nasality and speech scores significantly improved, especially in patients with isolated VPI.

    Abstract Aims: This study analyzed uptake of the core outcome set (COS) for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and trends in its use before and after its development in December 2017.
    Methods: On June 26, 2023, ClinicalTrials.gov was systematically searched for T1D randomized controlled trials. The Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database provided a COS of eight key outcomes for analysis. Included trials were analyzed for COS uptake before and after its release in December 2017 in a masked, duplicate fashion by independent reviewers. We also calculated the proportion of trials that measured the complete COS and assessed the most frequently reported COS outcomes.
    Results: Of 3,792 originally screened articles, 144 RCTs were included in the final sample. Following COS publication, its use steadily decreased. Within the COS, HbA1c and severe hypoglycemia were most frequently implemented as endpoints; other recommended outcomes were rarely used in the published trials.
    Conclusion: Despite the 2017 T1D COS publication, use has decreased over time. This inconsistency negatively influences evidence-based practices and care. Educating researchers on COS and promoting uptake is crucial. Wider COS adoption in T1D trials could enhance clinical research overall. Further study of barriers and facilitators influencing uptake is essential to support consistent use and reporting.
