    Abstract Tractography combined with regions of interest (ROIs) has been used to non-invasively study the structural connectivity of the cortex as well as to assess the reliability of these connections. However, the subcortical connectome (subcortex to subcortex) has not been comprehensively examined, in part due to the difficulty of performing tractography in this complex and compact region. In this study, we performed an in vivo investigation using tractography to assess the feasibility and reliability of mapping known connections between structures of the subcortex using the test-retest dataset from the Human Connectome Project (HCP). We further validated our observations using a separate unrelated subjects dataset from the HCP. Quantitative assessment was performed by computing tract densities and spatial overlap of identified connections between subcortical ROIs. Further, known connections between structures of the basal ganglia and thalamus were identified and visually inspected, comparing tractography reconstructed trajectories with descriptions from tract-tracing studies. Our observations demonstrate both the feasibility and reliability of using a data-driven tractography-based approach to map the subcortical connectome in vivo.

    Abstract Background: Social media (SoMe) is ubiquitous, but its adoption and utilization by infectious diseases (ID) divisions are poorly characterized in the United States.
    Methods: A systematic search of US ID fellowship/division Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts occurred in November-December 2021. Social media account and program characteristics, post frequency and content, and other measures of SoMe adoption and utilization were recorded and compared between adult and pediatric programs. Posts were thematically categorized as social, promotional, educational, recruitment, or other.
    Results: Of 222 ID programs identified, 158 (71.2%) were adult and 64 (28.8%) pediatric. Seventy (31.5%) Twitter, 14 (6.3%) Facebook, and 14 (6.3%) Instagram accounts were identified from US programs. Twitter accounts were associated with larger programs and higher match rates. More adult than pediatric programs had Twitter accounts (37.3% vs 17.2%,
    Conclusions: Social media remains underutilized across ID divisions, but COVID-19 and virtual recruiting may have influenced recent account creation. Twitter was the most frequently used ID program SoMe platform. Social media may benefit ID programs in recruitment and amplification of their trainees, faculty, and specialty.

    Abstract Inclusion of defined quantities of the two major surface proteins of influenza virus, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), could benefit seasonal influenza vaccines. Recombinant HA and NA multimeric proteins derived from three influenza serotypes, H1N1, H3N2, and type B, are surface displayed on nanoliposomes co-loaded with immunostimulatory adjuvants, generating "hexaplex" particles that are used to immunize mice. Protective immune responses to hexaplex liposomes involve functional antibody elicitation against each included antigen, comparable to vaccination with monovalent antigen particles. When compared to contemporary recombinant or adjuvanted influenza virus vaccines, hexaplex liposomes perform favorably in many areas, including antibody production, T cell activation, protection from lethal virus challenge, and protection following passive sera transfer. Based on these results, hexaplex liposomes warrant further investigation as an adjuvanted recombinant influenza vaccine formulation.

    Abstract Background: Intraprocedural imaging is critical for device delivery in transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Although pivotal trials of LAAO devices were conducted using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is an emerging imaging modality.
    Objectives: This study compared outcomes after ICE- and TEE-guided Watchman FLX implantation in the SURPASS (SURveillance Post Approval AnalySiS Plan) nationwide LAAO registry.
    Methods: Baseline characteristics were compared using chi-square and t-tests. Outcomes were reported in unadjusted and adjusted comparisons via propensity weighting.
    Results: Between August 2020 and September 2021, LAAO was attempted in 39,759 patients at 698 sites, including 2,272 cases (5.7%) with ICE and 31,835 (80.0%) with TEE. ICE and TEE patients had similar baseline characteristics and mean procedural times (ICE 82 minutes vs TEE 78 minutes). ICE patients were less likely to receive general anesthesia (54% vs 98%, P < 0.01). Successful device implantation (98.3% vs 97.6%) and complete seal rates at 45 days were similar (n = 25,280; 83% vs 82%). Most adverse event rates were similar; unadjusted mortality rates at 45 days were 1.1% for ICE vs 0.8% for TEE (P = 0.14), and 1.0% vs 0.7% (P = 0.27) in adjusted analyses. Even after adjustment, pericardial effusion rates requiring intervention were significantly higher with ICE at 45 days (1.0% vs 0.5%; P = 0.02). This rate decreased as operators performed more ICE-guided procedures, although 82% of operators had performed <10 ICE-guided procedures overall.
    Conclusions: In the largest comparison to date, ICE use was infrequent. ICE and TEE both achieved high rates of complete LAAO. ICE was associated with significantly higher rates of pericardial effusion requiring intervention.

    Abstract Perfectionism is associated with sleep as well as with academic and sports performance. Given the importance of sleep for performance and the sleep changes that occur during adolescence, the present study aimed to explore the relationship between sleep, two dimensions of perfectionism (perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns), with academic and sports performance in young athletes. The occurrence of perfectionistic strivings was identified as a tendency to set high personal standards for oneself, while the occurrence of perfectionistic concerns was identified as a tendency to feel pressure to be perfect and have concerns about imperfections. A total of 32 athletes aged 13 to 16 years old participated in this study. Perfectionism, sleep, and course grades were measured at the end of the school year. Sleep was measured by actigraphy, and sports performance improvement was obtained by comparing individual performance at the beginning and the end of the school year. The moderating effect of both dimensions of perfectionism on the relationships between sleep and academic and sports performance improvement was measured. First, results showed no significant relationship between sleep and academic/sports performance. Further analyses revealed that perfectionistic strivings moderated the relationship between certain aspects of sleep with academic and sports performance improvement. Delayed and suboptimal sleep habits were associated with lower academic and sports performance improvement when low levels of perfectionistic strivings were present. Results with perfectionistic concerns showed that this dimension did not moderate the relationship between sleep and academic and sports performance improvement. This study supports the notion that high levels of perfectionistic strivings in young athletes may mitigate the adverse effects of poor sleep habits in young athletes.

    Abstract Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) is the third most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma and typically exhibits indolent behavior, though a rare subset can exhibit high-grade morphologic features and is associated with a poor prognosis. Although there are limited data on the molecular characteristics of metastatic and sarcomatoid ChRCC, the molecular features of high-grade, nonsarcomatoid ChRCC remain unexplored. Herein, we characterize 22 cases of ChRCC with high-grade, nonsarcomatoid components. High-grade ChRCC frequently demonstrated advanced stage at diagnosis (64% ≥pT3a or N1), with regions of extrarenal extension, nodal metastases, and vascular invasion consisting solely of high-grade ChRCC morphologically. We performed spatially guided panel-based DNA sequencing on 11 cases comparing high-grade and low-grade regions (n = 22 samples). We identified recurring somatic alterations emblematic of ChRCC, including deletions of chromosomes 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 17, and 21 in 91% (10/11) of cases and recurring mutations in TP53 (81.8%, n = 9/11) and PTEN (36.4%, n = 4/11). Notably, although PTEN and TP53 alterations were found in both high-grade and low-grade regions, private mutations were identified in 3 cases, indicating convergent evolution. Finally, we identified recurring RB1 mutations in 27% (n = 3) of high-grade regions leading to selective protein loss by immunohistochemistry not observed in adjacent low-grade regions. This finding was confirmed in The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort where 2 of 66 cases contained RB1 mutations and demonstrated unequivocal high-grade, nonsarcomatoid morphology. We also detected multiple chromosomal gains confined to the high-grade regions, consistent with imbalanced chromosome duplication. These findings broaden our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of ChRCC and suggest that subclonal RB1 mutations can drive the evolution to high-grade, nonsarcomatoid ChRCC.
