    Abstract Background: Cutibacterium acnes is the bacterium most commonly responsible for shoulder periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and is often cultured from samples obtained at the time of revision for failed shoulder arthroplasty. We sought to determine whether these bacteria originate from the patient or from exogenous sources. We also sought to identify which C. acnes genetic traits were associated with the development of shoulder PJI.
    Methods: We performed bacterial whole-genome sequencing of C. acnes from a single-institution repository of cultures obtained before or during primary and revision shoulder arthroplasty and correlated the molecular epidemiology and genetic content of strains with clinical features of infection.
    Results: A total of 341 isolates collected over a four-year period from 88 patients were sequenced. C. acnes cultured from surgical specimens demonstrated significant similarity to the strains colonizing the skin of the same patient (p<0.001). Infrequently, there was evidence of strains shared across unrelated patients, suggesting that exogenous sources of C. acnes culture-positivity were uncommon. Phylotypes IB and II were modestly associated with clinical features of PJI, but all phylotypes appeared inherently capable of causing disease. Chronic shoulder PJI was associated with the absence of common C. acnes genes involved in bacterial quorum-sensing (luxS, tqsA).
    Conclusion: C. acnes strains cultured from deep intraoperative sources during revision shoulder arthroplasty demonstrate strong genetic similarity to the strains colonizing a patient's skin. Some phylotypes of C. acnes commonly colonizing human skin are modestly more virulent than others, but all phylotypes have a capacity for PJI. C. acnes cultured from cases of PJI commonly demonstrated genetic hallmarks associated with adaptation from acute to chronic phases of infection. This is the strongest evidence to date supporting the role of the patient's own, cutaneous C. acnes strains in the pathogenesis of shoulder arthroplasty infection. Our findings support the importance of further research focused on perioperative decolonization and management of endogenous bacteria that are likely to be introduced into the arthroplasty wound at the time of skin incision.

    Abstract Purpose: The objective of this study was to characterize the temporal dynamics of Cutibacterium repopulation of the skin surface after application of chlorhexidine to the shoulder.
    Methods: Ten shoulders in five male subjects were used. A skin swab was taken prior to (0 minutes) and then at three, 30, 60, 120, and 240 minutes after skin preparation with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol. Semi-quantitative bacterial load was measured for each timepoint.
    Results: From zero minutes (pre-treatment) to three minutes, chlorhexidine-isopropyl alcohol reduced the skin bacterial load in eight out of ten shoulders. Of these eight shoulders, four (50%) had growth by 30 minutes, seven (88%) had growth by 60 minutes, and all eight (100%) had growth by 240 minutes. Compared to the three minutes after chlorhexidine application, bacterial load had significantly increased by 60 minutes but were still significantly lower than the pre-prep bacterial load (0 minutes).
    Conclusion: Following standard surgical skin preparation with chlorhexidine-isopropyl alcohol, the surface of the shoulder is repopulated with Cutibacterium within one hour, presumably from reservoirs in sebaceous glands not penetrated by topical antiseptic agents. Since these dermal glands are transected by skin incision for shoulder arthroplasty, this study suggests that they may be sources of wound contamination during surgery in spite of skin preparation with chlorhexidine.

    Abstract Despite modern antiseptic techniques, surgical site infection (SSI) remains a leading complication of surgery. However, the origins of SSI and the high rates of antimicrobial resistance observed in these infections are poorly understood. Using instrumented spine surgery as a model of clean (class I) skin incision, we prospectively sampled preoperative microbiomes and postoperative SSI isolates in a cohort of 204 patients. Combining multiple forms of genomic analysis, we correlated the identity, anatomic distribution, and antimicrobial resistance profiles of SSI pathogens with those of preoperative strains obtained from the patient skin microbiome. We found that 86% of SSIs, comprising a broad range of bacterial species, originated endogenously from preoperative strains, with no evidence of common source infection among a superset of 1610 patients. Most SSI isolates (59%) were resistant to the prophylactic antibiotic administered during surgery, and their resistance phenotypes correlated with the patient's preoperative resistome (

    Abstract Limited work has evaluated how leg press strength (LPS), relative to body mass (i.e., rLPS), affects heart rate (HR) responses during activities of daily living. Such information would prove useful by informing a specific level of rLPS needed to promote independent mobility and physical activity. Secondary analyses were performed on baseline measures of 76 untrained older (65 ± 4 y) women. After familiarization, one-repetition maximum leg press was converted to rLPS by dividing the external load lifted (kg) by body mass (BM). Participants were stratified according to percentile of age-group norms of rLPS: ≤50 % (low, ≤0.99 kg/BM, n = 15), 51-89 % (middle, 1.0-1.31 kg/BM, n = 31), and ≥90 % (high, ≥1.32 kg/BM, n = 30). HR was measured at rest and during laboratory-based tasks including fixed-speed (0.89 m·s

    Abstract Abstract: Extravasation during radiopharmaceutical injection may occur with a frequency of more than 10%. In these cases, radioactivity remains within tissue and deposits unintended radiation dose. Characterization of extravasations is a necessary step in accurate dosimetry, but a lack of free and publicly available tools hampers routine standardized analysis. Our objective was to improve existing extravasation characterization and dosimetry methods and to create and validate tools to facilitate standardized practical dosimetric analysis in clinical settings. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we calculated dosimetric values for sixteen nuclear medicine isotopes: 11 C, 64 Cu, 18 F, 67 Ga, 68 Ga, 123 I, 131 I, 111 In, 177 Lu, 13 N, 15 O, 82 Rb, 153 Sm, 89 Sr, 99m Tc, and 90 Y. We validated our simulation results against five logical alternative dose assessment methods. We then created three new characterization tools: a worksheet, a spreadsheet, and a web application. We assessed each tool by recalculating extravasation dosimetry results found in the literature and used each of the tools for patient cases to show clinical practicality. Average variation between our simulation results and alternative methods was 3.1%. Recalculation of published dosimetry results indicated an average error of 7.9%. Time required to use each characterization tool ranged from 1 to 5 min, and agreement between the three tools was favorable. We improved upon existing methods by creating new tools for characterization and dosimetry of radiopharmaceutical extravasation. These free and publicly available tools will enable standardized routine clinical analysis and benefit patient care, clinical follow-up, documentation, and event reporting.
