    Abstract Purpose of review: Summarize principles behind various immunotherapy approaches for high and low-grade glioma in the context of recently completed clinical trials and the new insights they provide.
    Recent findings: Despite the widespread success of therapies targeting the T-cell checkpoints programmed-death 1 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 in other malignancies, recent phase III trials in glioblastoma confirm the lack of efficacy of anti-programmed-death 1 monotherapy in more than 90% of patients. Vaccination approaches remain under investigation for high-grade glioma and have shown activity in some low-grade glioma patients. Chimeric antigen receptor T cells now feature a new generation of products engineered to potentially withstand glucocorticoid therapy. Oncolytic viral therapies have similarly advanced in sophistication, with drug-sensitive gene expression and tumor-selective modifications. Combinations of therapies hold promise for overcoming the numerous mechanisms of immune suppression in glioma.
    Summary: Although immunotherapies have yet to show rates of efficacy compared with other malignancies, new knowledge of immunology and combination therapies brings hope for improved efficacy in the future.

    Abstract Thermally induced optical reflection of sound (THORS) provides a means to manipulate sound waves without the need for traditional acoustically engineered structures. By photothermally exciting a medium, with infrared light, a barrier can be formed due to abrupt changes in compressibility of the excited medium. Discovery and initial characterization of the THORS phenomenon utilized air saturated with ethanol vapor as the absorbing medium and a CO

    Abstract Athletes and non-athletes experience many anxiety-related symptoms and disorders at comparable rates. Contributory factors may include pressure to perform, public scrutiny, sporting career dissatisfaction, injury, and harassment and abuse in sport. Anxiety may negatively impact sport performance. Specific types of anxiety may have unique presentations in athletes. It is important to rule out general medical and substance-related causes of anxiety symptoms. Psychotherapy and pharmacology treatment options should be considered, bearing in mind athletes' environmental circumstances and physiologies.

  5. Article: The Pitfalls of Using Pop-Off Valves in Adult Emergency Airway.

    Abstract Background: Although common in pediatric airway equipment, positive-pressure relief ("pop-off") valves are also present on some adult resuscitator bags. These valves are designed to decrease barotrauma but, in doing so, limit the airway pressure provided during manual bag-assisted ventilation. In critically ill adult patients with high airway pressures, these valves can be detrimental and result in hypoventilation and subsequent hypoxemia.
    Case reports: In the 7 days after an unannounced introduction of new resuscitator bags with pop-off valves in the emergency department, there were 3 adult patients for whom an open pop-off valve resulted in hypoventilation and hypoxemia. These cases involved both medical and traumatic pathologies. In each case, there was a delay in discovering the change to a resuscitator bag equipped with a pop-off valve. Once the emergency physicians noticed the pop-off valve and closed them, there was significant improvement in ventilation and oxygenation. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Hand-operated resuscitator bags are an essential tool for airway management. These cases represent two main lessons: changing airway equipment without notifying staff is dangerous, and an open pop-off valve will result in inadequate ventilation when patients have high airway pressures, without the tactile feedback of difficult bagging. Emergency physicians should be aware of equipment changes and know to disable the pop-off valve on resuscitator bags if they find them in their departments.

    Abstract Study objective: For patients with hemodynamic instability undergoing rapid sequence intubation, experts recommend reducing the sedative medication dose to minimize the risk of further hemodynamic deterioration. Scant data support this practice for etomidate and ketamine. We sought to determine if the dose of etomidate or ketamine was independently associated with postintubation hypotension.
    Methods: We analyzed data from the National Emergency Airway Registry from January 2016 to December 2018. Patients aged 14 years or older were included if the first intubation attempt was facilitated with etomidate or ketamine. We used multivariable modeling to determine whether drug dose in milligrams per kilogram of patient weight was independently associated with postintubation hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 100 mm Hg).
    Results: We analyzed 12,175 intubation encounters facilitated by etomidate and 1,849 facilitated by ketamine. The median drug doses were 0.28 mg/kg (interquartile range [IQR] 0.22 mg/kg to 0.32 mg/kg) for etomidate and 1.33 mg/kg (IQR 1 mg/kg to 1.8 mg/kg) for ketamine. Postintubation hypotension occurred in 1,976 patients (16.2%) who received etomidate and in 537 patients (29.0%) who received ketamine. In multivariable models, neither the etomidate dose (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.90 to 1.01) nor ketamine dose (aOR 0.97, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.17) was associated with postintubation hypotension. Results were similar in sensitivity analyses excluding patients with preintubation hypotension and including only patients intubated for shock.
    Conclusion: In this large registry of patients intubated after receiving either etomidate or ketamine, we observed no association between the weight-based sedative dose and postintubation hypotension.

    Abstract Language-enabled robots have been widely studied over the past years to enable natural human-robot interaction and teaming in various real-world applications. Language-enabled robots must be able to comprehend referring expressions to identify a particular object from visual perception using a set of referring attributes extracted from natural language. However, visual observations of an object may not be available when it is referred to, and the number of objects and attributes may also be unbounded in open worlds. To address the challenges, we implement an attribute-based compositional zero-shot learning method that uses a list of attributes to perform referring expression comprehension in open worlds. We evaluate the approach on two datasets including the MIT-States and the Clothing 16K. The preliminary experimental results show that our implemented approach allows a robot to correctly identify the objects referred to by human commands.
