    Abstract The burden of human disease lies predominantly in polygenic diseases. Since the early 2000s, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants and loci associated with complex traits. These have ranged from variants in coding sequences to mutations in regulatory regions, such as promoters and enhancers, as well as mutations affecting mediators of mRNA stability and other downstream regulators, such as 5' and 3'-untranslated regions (UTRs), long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), and miRNA. Recent research advances in genetics have utilized a combination of computational techniques, high-throughput in vitro and in vivo screening modalities, and precise genome editing to impute the function of diverse classes of genetic variants identified through GWAS. In this review, we highlight the vastness of genomic variants associated with polygenic disease risk and address recent advances in how genetic tools can be used to functionally characterize them.

    Abstract Importance: OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) is an effective treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), but few studies have been done to evaluate injection techniques.
    Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate procedural discomfort between 2 commonly used injection techniques for BTX-A.
    Study design: This was a single-blinded, randomized clinical trial of women undergoing injection of 100 U BTX-A for idiopathic OAB. Patients were randomized to 5 mL/5 injection or 10 mL/10 injection groups. Bladder pain was assessed by a validated Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Overactive bladder symptoms were assessed with a standardized questionnaire (Overactive Bladder Questionnaire Short Form). Patient satisfaction, treatment efficacy, and adverse events were assessed at 30 days after procedure.
    Results: One hundred eight patients were randomized to 52 in the 5 mL/5 injection arm and 56 in the 10 mL/10 injection arm. Mean procedural pain scores were 3.2 (±2.3) in the 5 mL/5 injection group versus 3.6 (±2.1) in the 10 mL/10 injection group (P = 0.21). No difference was found when categorizing pain scores into ordinal outcomes of low (P = 0.55), medium (P = 0.70), and high (P = 1.0) or a binary outcome of low (P = 0.55) versus medium + high (P = 0.55). Multivariate analyses did not effect statistical significance between the 2 groups for the ordinal outcome (odds ratio = 1.86; 95% confidence interval = 0.77 = 4.52; P = 0.17) or the binary outcome (odds ratio = 1.81; 95% confidence interval = 0.68-4.77; P = 0.28). No difference was observed between overall patient satisfaction, global impression of improvement, Overactive Bladder Questionnaire Short Form scores, or adverse outcomes.
    Conclusions: Procedural discomfort related to BTX-A injection for idiopathic OAB was not different between 2 injection protocols. Overall satisfaction was high for both groups, and there was no difference in symptom scores or adverse events.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the leading health concerns and causes of hospitalization for adults with spina bifida (SB). The risk factors, evaluation, management, and prevention of UTIs in women with SB must take into consideration their unique pelvic anatomy and function as well as the desire for pregnancy or the occurrence UTI during pregnancy. This article reviews published literature regarding this topic and offers recommendations for UTI evaluation, management, and prevention in the context of the unique pelvic floor health needs of women with SB.
    Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the following keywords: spinal dysraphism, spina bifida, myelomeningocele, meningocele, urinary tract infections, females, and adults. Articles were included if they were in English, published during or after 2000, peer reviewed, included women with spina bifida aged 18 or greater, and included outcomes related to urinary tract infection.
    Results: No articles met inclusion criteria.
    Conclusion: As no articles were found based on the initial search criteria, articles pertaining to neurogenic bladder UTI risks, evaluation, and management were discussed to develop consensus recommendations for the unique care of UTIs in women with SB.

    Abstract Objectives It is necessary to implement educational programs to maintain the nutritional knowledge of the elderly. This study aims to compare the effects of three educational methods (lecture, question and answer, pamphlet presentation) on nutrition status and sustainability of nutritional knowledge in the elderly in Bandar Abbas, Iran. Methods & Materials In this quasi-experimental study, the study population consists of all older people aged ≥60 years in Bandar Abbas city. Of these, 120 people (30 people in the control group and 30 in each of three intervention groups) were selected by a two-stage sampling method. Educational intervention were done by presenting pamphlets, lecturing, and questions & answers (Q&A) sessions. Data collection tools were a 20-item questionnaire on sustainable nutrition knowledge of the Ministry of Health and a 35-item questionnaire on nutritional behavior of the elderly. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 23 using one-way analysis of variance and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results The age range of the elderly was 60-79 years. The majority were male (53.3%). The results showed that the effect of Q&A method was effective in improving nutrition status (F=4.397, P=0.031) and sustainability of nutritional knowledge (F=10.108, P=0.002). Education by presentation of pamphlets and lecture had no significant effect on nutrition status and sustainability of knowledge. Conclusion By the Q&A method, the nutritional knowledge can be maintained and the nutrition status can be improved in the elderly compared to lectures and pamphlet presentation methods. It helps formulate appropriate educational programs for the elderly.

    Abstract Aims: We compared brain activation patterns between female multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with voiding dysfunction (VD) and those without. We aim to expand current knowledge of supraspinal correlates of voiding initiation within a cohort of female MS patients with and without VD.
    Materials and methods: Twenty-eight ambulatory female MS patients with stable disease and lower urinary tract dysfunction were recruited for this study. Subjects were divided into group 1, without VD (n = 14), and group 2, with VD (n = 14), defined as postvoid residual urine of ≥40% of maximum cystometric capacity or need for self-catheterization. We recorded brain activity via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with simultaneous urodynamic testing. Average fMRI activation maps (the Student t test) were created for both groups, and areas of significant activation were identified (P < .05). A priori regions of interest (ROIs), identified by prior meta-analysis to be involved in voiding, were selected.
    Results: Group-averaged blood-oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) activation maps demonstrated significant differences between groups 1 and 2 during initiation of voiding with group 2 showing significantly lower levels of activation in all ROIs except for the left cerebellum and right cingulate gyrus. Interestingly, group 2 displayed negative BOLD signals, while group 1 displayed positive signals in the right and left pontine micturition center, right periaqueductal gray, left thalamus, and left cingulate gyrus. The activation map of group 1 was similar to healthy controls.
    Conclusions: Our results support the hypothesis that distinct supraspinal activation patterns exist between female MS patients with VD and those without.

    Abstract Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder with a complex array of signs and symptoms that causes very significant disability in young people. While schizophrenia has a strong genetic component, with heritability around 80%, there is also a very significant range of environmental exposures and stressors that have been implicated in disease development and neuropathology, such as maternal immune infection, obstetric complications, childhood trauma and cannabis exposure. It is postulated that epigenetic factors, as well as regulatory non-coding RNAs, mediate the effects of these environmental stressors. In this review, we explore the most well-known epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation and histone modification, along with emerging RNA mediators of epigenomic state, including miRNAs and lncRNAs, and discuss their collective potential for involvement in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia implicated through the postmortem analysis of brain tissue. Given that peripheral tissues, such as blood, saliva, and olfactory epithelium have the same genetic composition and are exposed to many of the same environmental exposures, we also examine some studies supporting the application of peripheral tissues for epigenomic biomarker discovery in schizophrenia. Finally, we provide some perspective on how these biomarkers may be utilized to capture a signature of past events that informs future treatment.

    Abstract Prenatal environmental exposures that have been shown to induce oxidative stress (OS) during pregnancy, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, are risk factors for the onset of schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). While the OS role in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases is well known, its contribution to the genomic dysregulation associated with psychiatric disorders is less well defined. In this study we used the SH-SY5Y cell line and applied RNA-sequencing to explore transcriptomic changes in response to OS before or during neural differentiation. We observed differential expression of many genes, most of which localised to the synapse and were involved in neuronal differentiation. These genes were enriched in schizophrenia-associated signalling pathways, including PI3K/Akt, axon guidance, and signalling by retinoic acid. Interestingly, circulatory system development was affected by both treatments, which is concordant with observations of increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease in patients with NDDs. We also observed a very significant increase in the expression of immunity-related genes, supporting current hypotheses of immune system involvement in psychiatric disorders. While further investigation of this influence in other cell and animal models is warranted, our data suggest that early life exposure to OS has a disruptive influence on neuronal gene expression that may perturb normal differentiation and neurodevelopment, thereby contributing towards overall risk for developing psychiatric diseases.

    Abstract Ultrasound elastography infers mechanical properties of living tissues from ultrasound radiofrequency (RF) data recorded while the tissues are undergoing deformation. A challenging yet critical step in ultrasound elastography is to estimate the tissue displacement (or, equivalently the time delay estimate) fields from pairs of RF data. The RF data are often corrupted with noise, which causes the displacement estimator to fail in many

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: We hypothesized that patients with refractory overactive bladder (rOAB) have similar improvement with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) and OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX).
    Methods: This multicenter cohort study compared BTX and PTNS in women with rOAB. Baseline information included Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OABq) short form, Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), and voiding diary. Primary outcome was cure, defined as "very much better" or "much better" on the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGII) AND a reduction in OABq symptom severity scale (SSS) ≥10 at 3 months after treatment. Assuming 80% power to detect a ten-point difference in OABq-SSS, 80 participants were required per group.
    Results: A total of 150 patients were enrolled; 97 completed 3 months of therapy and were included. At baseline, BTX patients had more detrusor overactivity (70% vs 40%, p = 0.025), urgency incontinence (UUI; OABq-SSS#6 4 vs 3, p = 0.02, SSS 65 vs 56, p = 0.04), but similar health-related quality of life (HRQL 49 vs 54, p = 0.28), voids (7 vs 8, p = 0.13), and UUI episodes (2 vs 2, p = 1.0). At 3 months, cure rates were similar: BTX 50% vs PTNS 44.2% (p = 0.56). Both groups had improved SSS (-37 vs -29, p = 0.08) and HRQL (31 vs 24, p = 0.14). Patients receiving BTX had a greater improvement in urgency (ΔOABq-SSS#2-3 vs -2; p = 0.02) and UUI (ΔOABq-SSS#6-2 vs -1; p = 0.02). No characteristics were predictive of cure.
    Conclusions: BTX resulted in significantly greater improvement in urgency and UUI than PTNS, but no difference in success based on PGII and OABq-SSS, which may be due to a lack of power.

    Abstract This study presents a systematic study on sequential treatment of highly resistant landfill leachate by electrocoagulation (EC)/aeration, sulfate radical advanced oxidation process (SR-AOP) and electro-Fenton (EF). In case of SR-AOP, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalyzed by zero valent iron (ZVI) and ultraviolet irradiation (UV) system was developed. Treatment process was optimized in respect to COD removal. Analysis of results revealed that sequential application of EC/aeration, PMS/ZVI/UV, and EF processes provide an extraordinary performance and meet the environmental regulations. The source of iron for EF process was provided from previous process reducing the cost of sequential process. Separately, EC/aeration (inlet COD = 4040 mg/L), PMS/ZVI/UV (inlet COD = 1560 mg/L), and EF (inlet COD = 471 mg/L) removed 61, 69 and 82% of COD respectively. Overall, sequential processes of EC/aeration, PMS/ZVI/UV and EF could remove the COD, TOC and ammonia of the landfill leachate around 98%, 93% and 94%, respectively. The comparison of different sequences of following processes indicated that current configuration (EC/aeration-PMS/ZVI/UV-EF) could meet the discharge standards. Furthermore, humification degree was significantly improved after oxidative processes. Biodegradability study was also performed by means of BOD/COD, average oxidation state (AOS), and Zahn-Wellens test, and the best results associated with these indices were obtained 0.56, 2.37, and over 98%, respectively. Phytotoxicity of leachate was remarkably reduced and the final effluent can be considered as a non-phytotoxic wastewater.
