    Abstract Background and objectives: Correct child car restraint use significantly reduces risk of death and serious injury in motor vehicle crashes, but millions of US children ride with improper restraints. We created a tablet-based car restraint educational intervention using Computer Intervention Authoring Software (CIAS) and examined its impact on knowledge and behaviours among parents in the paediatric emergency department (PED).
    Methods: This was a non-blinded, randomised controlled trial of parents of PED patients ages 0-12 years. Participants were evaluated for baseline car restraint knowledge and behaviour. The intervention group completed an interactive tablet-based module, while the control group received printed handouts on car restraint safety. After 1 week, both groups received a follow-up survey assessing changes in car restraint knowledge and behaviour. Logistic regressions determined predictors of knowledge retention and behavioural changes. Parents in the CIAS group were also surveyed on programme acceptability.
    Results: 211 parents completed the study with follow-up data. There was no significant difference in baseline car restraint knowledge (74.3% correct in intervention, 61.8% in control, p=0.15), or increase in follow-up restraint knowledge. Significantly more intervention-group caregivers reported modifying their child's car restraint at follow-up (52.5% vs 31.8%,p=0.003), and 93.7% of them found CIAS helpful in learning to improve car safety.
    Conclusion: Parents had overall high levels of car restraint knowledge. Using CIAS led to positive behavioural changes regarding child car restraint safety, with the vast majority reporting positive attitudes towards CIAS. This novel, interactive, tablet-based tool is a useful PED intervention for behavioural change in parents.

    Abstract Background: Esophageal dilatation and dysmotility are known complications of the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), but their incidence varies widely in the literature. There are no formal recommendations guiding surveillance for these potentially underdiagnosed pathologies. This study demonstrates the utility and outcomes of a yearly upper gastrointestinal series screening protocol to detect and manage esophageal dysfunction after LAGB.
    Methods: We reviewed charts for all patients presenting for an outpatient surgical encounter related to LAGB between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017. Exclusion criteria included failure to undergo UGIS 6 months or more after band placement, or having undergone band placement in combination with another bariatric procedure. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize demographics, imaging findings and surgical outcomes. All imaging classifications were based on final radiologist report. Means were compared using a Student's t test.
    Results: A total of 322 records were reviewed with 39 patients excluded; 31 without UGIS and 8 with concomitant gastric bypass. 85% were female with an average age of 50 years. 66.8% identified as white or Caucasian with 24.7% black/African-American. Greater than 75% of the cohort had at least 5-year follow-up interval. UGIS was performed for symptoms in 66.1% and for routine screening in 33.9%. Of asymptomatic patients, 47.9% demonstrated esophageal dilatation or dysmotility on UGIS, similar to 51.3% of symptomatic patients. 96.8% of all patients went on to band removal. Sixty-four patients had repeat UGIS an average of 8 months following band removal, of which 40.6% were persistently abnormal.
    Conclusions: The incidence of esophageal pathology was significantly higher than most reported series, as was the number of patients with persistently abnormal UGIS despite band removal. The data supports our policy of yearly UGIS for all post-LAGB patients, with strong recommendation for band removal if esophageal dilatation or dysmotility is found.

    Abstract Approximately 12% of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) experience a recurrent major adverse cardiovascular event within 1 year of their primary event, with most occurring within the first 90 days. Thus, there is a need for new therapeutic approaches that address this 90-day post-AMI high-risk period. The formation and eventual rupture of atherosclerotic plaque that leads to AMI is elicited by the accumulation of cholesterol within the arterial intima. Cholesterol efflux, a mechanism by which cholesterol is removed from plaque, is predominantly mediated by apolipoprotein A-I, which is rapidly lipidated to form high-density lipoprotein in the circulation and has atheroprotective properties. In this review, we outline how cholesterol efflux dysfunction leads to atherosclerosis and vulnerable plaque formation, including inflammatory cell recruitment, foam cell formation, the development of a lipid/necrotic core, and degradation of the fibrous cap. CSL112, a human plasma-derived apolipoprotein A-I, is in phase 3 of clinical development and aims to reduce the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with AMI in the first 90 days after the index event by increasing cholesterol efflux. We summarize evidence from preclinical and clinical studies suggesting that restoration of cholesterol efflux by CSL112 can stabilize plaque by several anti-inflammatory/immune-regulatory processes. These effects occur rapidly and could stabilize vulnerable plaques in patients who have recently experienced an AMI, thereby reducing the risk of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events in the high-risk early post-AMI period.

    Abstract Children and adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) are increasingly recognized to be at risk for acute and chronic renal injury. Some of these may progress to the need for renal transplantation. We hypothesized that patients with underlying moderate or severe CHD who undergo renal transplantation will have worse acute hospital outcomes. Using a national administrative database, we queried for admissions aged 0 to 50 years with moderate or severe CHD and renal transplantation and compared these to admissions without CHD. There were 56 admissions for renal transplantation in the CHD group (0.04%) and 26,285 admissions in the group without CHD (0.21%, p<0.001). The CHD group were younger, had a higher proportion of Whites, longer length of stay, higher complication rates, higher in-hospital mortality, and higher costs. In conclusion, although renal transplantation is still relatively uncommon in the CHD population, there is an increasing recognition of severe chronic renal disease in the setting of CHD, making it important to understand the potential implications of these findings.

    Abstract Despite current standard of care treatment, the period shortly after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with high residual cardiovascular (CV) risk, with high rates of recurrent AMI and CV death in the first 90 days following the index event. This represents an area of high unmet need that may be potentially addressed by novel therapeutic agents that optimize high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) function rather than increase HDL-C concentrations. Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the major constituent of HDL and a key mediator of cholesterol efflux from macrophages within atherosclerotic plaque, a property especially relevant during the high-risk period immediately following an AMI when cholesterol efflux capacity is found to be reduced. CSL112 is a novel formulation of human plasma-derived apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial (AEGIS-II) for the reduction of major adverse CV events in the 90-day high-risk period post-AMI. In this review, we provide an overview of the biological properties of CSL112 that contribute to its proposed mechanism of action for potential therapeutic benefit. These properties include rapid and robust promotion of cholesterol efflux from cells abundant in atherosclerotic plaque, in addition to anti-inflammatory effects, which together, may have a stabilizing effect on atherosclerotic plaque. We provide a detailed overview of these mechanisms, in addition to information on the composition of CSL112 and how it is manufactured.

    Abstract Background: To characterize the effects of CSL112 (human APOA1 [apolipoprotein A1]) on the APOA1 exchange rate (AER) and the relationships with specific HDL (high-density lipoprotein) subpopulations when administered in the 90-day high-risk period post-acute myocardial infarction.
    Methods: A subset of patients (n=50) from the AEGIS-I (ApoA-I Event Reducing in Ischemic Syndromes I) study received either placebo or CSL112 post-acute myocardial infarction. AER was measured in AEGIS-I plasma samples incubated with lipid-sensitive fluorescent APOA1 reporter. HDL particle size distribution was assessed by native gel electrophoresis followed by fluorescent imaging and detection of APOA1 and SAA (serum amyloid A) by immunoblotting.
    Results: CSL112 infusion increased AER peaking at 2 hours and returning to baseline 24 hours post-infusion. AER correlated with cholesterol efflux capacity (
    Conclusions: Infusion of CSL112 enhances metrics of HDL functionality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study demonstrates that in post-acute myocardial infarction patients, HDL-APOA1 exchange involves specific SAA-poor HDL populations. Our data suggest that progressive enrichment of HDL with SAA may generate dysfunctional particles with impaired HDL-APOA1 exchange capacity, and that infusion of CSL112 improves the functional status of HDL with respect to HDL-APOA1 exchange.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection causes injury to multiple organ systems, including the brain. SARS-CoV-2's neuropathological mechanisms may include systemic inflammation and hypoxia, as well as direct cell damage resulting from viral infections of neurons and glia. How the virus directly causes injury to brain cells, acutely and over the long term, is not well understood. In order to gain insight into this process, we studied the neuropathological effects of open reading frame 3a (ORF3a), a SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein that is a key pathological factor of the virus. Forced ORF3a brain expression in mice caused the rapid onset of neurological impairment, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation-key neuropathological features found in coronavirus disease (COVID-19, which is caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection). Furthermore, ORF3a expression blocked autophagy progression in the brain and caused the neuronal accumulation of α-synuclein and glycosphingolipids, all of which are linked to neurodegenerative disease. Studies with ORF3-expressing HeLa cells confirmed that ORF3a disrupted the autophagy-lysosomal pathway and blocked glycosphingolipid degradation, resulting in their accumulation. These findings indicate that, in the event of neuroinvasion by SARS-CoV-2, ORF3a expression in brain cells may drive neuropathogenesis and be an important mediator of both short- and long-term neurological manifestations of COVID-19.
