    Abstract Shipboard studies during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 187 (Australian Antarctic Discordance, AAD) suggested that there was no discernible coincidence between the interpreted age of rocks recovered and the intensity of alteration observed. Samples from the oldest sites occupied appeared to exhibit the least overall effects of alteration, and the intensity of alteration varied from site to site. Previous investigations of low-temperature alteration in oceanic basement samples have been restricted by the myopic perspective provided by single drill holes or dredge collections. Combining core samples from Leg 187 and dredge samples from the AAD collection at Oregon State University (USA) offers the unique opportunity to investigate mineral and bulk chemical changes attending alteration of basalt over a range of ages from 0 to 28 Ma. Results of this research indicate that there is a general increase in the intensity of alteration as the basalts age and mosve off axis, but that this relationship is somewhat veiled by the dominating control on alteration intensity dictated by variations in permeability.

    Abstract In the Ocean Drilling Program's only foray to an active seafloor hydrothermal system hosted by felsic volcanic rocks at a convergent plate margin, deep penetrations were achieved at two contrasted sites within the PACMANUS field (Manus backarc basin, Papua New Guinea). Just 1.0 km apart, these sites are characterized, respectively, by diffuse low-temperature venting at the seabed (Site 1188, Snowcap site; 1650 meters below sea level [mbsl]) and focused high-temperature venting (Site 1189, Roman Ruins; 1700 mbsl). Shallow holes at a background location remote from known hydrothermal activity (Site 1190) and at a second high-temperature chimney field (Site 1191, Satanic Mills) failed to drill beyond unaltered felsic lavas which at Sites 1188 and 1189 form an impervious cap (as thick as 35 m) to an underlying, pervasively altered lava sequence with occasional volcaniclastic horizons.
    To the maximum depth drilled (387 meters below seafloor [mbsf]), alteration assemblages are characterized by clay minerals and ubiquitous disseminated pyrite. Hydrothermal K-feldspar at Site 1189 differentiates it from Site 1188 where, by contrast, several intervals of pyrophyllite-bearing acid sulfate alteration suggest input from magmatic volatiles. At both deeply penetrated sites the dominant silica phase in alteration assemblages changes downhole from opal-A at the transition from overlying unaltered lava to cristobalite and then to quartz. The boundary between the cristobalite and quartz domains is gradational between 60 and 110 mbsf in Hole 1188A under Snowcap but is sharper and shallower (~25 mbsf) in Hole 1189A on the fringes of the Roman Ruins field. Hole 1189B, higher on the Roman Ruins mound, intersected a "Stockwork Zone" with abundant quartz ± pyrite ± anhydrite veins and breccia infills, from base of casing (31 mbsf) to ~110 mbsf, below which an abrupt change occurred to a "Lower Sequence" with interleaved cristobalite- and quartz-bearing assemblages and common preservation of igneous plagioclase. Only two thin intervals of sulfide-rich mineralization were encountered, both below the Roman Ruins chimney field.

    Abstract During a lull in hammer drill testing during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 179, Hole 1105A was cored to 158 mbsf on the Southwest Indian Ridge within ~1.3 km of Hole 735B. This coring operation resulted in not only high recovery (in excess of 80%) but in the collection of a suite of continuous downhole logging data. This combination allows the rare opportunity to demonstrate the utility of logging in hard rock environments. By using the core as a reference, we have been able to recognize specific Formation MicroScanner (FMS) image characteristics that represent different structural aspects of the core. Gabbro with disseminated oxide has a mottled appearance in the FMS images, and in foliated intervals, the attitude of the foliation can be determined from FMS orientation. We also present evidence of decreased and poorer quality core recovery from intervals that have resistivity characteristics indicative of intense fracturing and that certain lithologic units can have markedly different characteristics in the FMS record, improving estimates of interval thickness. This study shows that, at least for this expedition, the material sampled is consistently (albeit not universally) from the top of the cored interval, which varies in lithologic character on scales as small as a few centimeters. Therefore, the core recovered does not necessarily proportionally represent the cored interval. Reorientation of structural data measured on cores and on FMS images to paleomagnetic data indicates the direction of principle stress during the crystallization and deformation history of the Atlantis Bank was parallel to the Southwest Indian Ridge axis.

    Abstract Although land studies have identified major volcanic centers of historic eruptions within the Central Andes, the tephrachronologic record is disturbed by the high erosion rates in this arid region. Owing to erosion, studies of volcanic cyclicity based on subaerial deposits offer an incomplete record of the frequency and episodicity of eruptions since the Miocene. However, volcanic material commonly occurs in marine sediment as discrete ash fall layers and/or disseminated ash accumulations. A detailed investigation of cores from three sites offshore Peru drilled during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 201 has been conducted to determine the occurrence of volcanic ash layers and ash accumulations within marine sediments along the Peru shelf. These sites were previously occupied during ODP Leg 112, which suffered from poor and/or disturbed core recovery. Advancements in hydraulic piston coring realized since and employed during Leg 201 resulted in better core recovery and less disturbance of sediment throughout the cored intervals. Because marine sediments potentially undergo less erosion than land deposits and because Leg 201 benefited from improved recovery of less disturbed cores, the tephrachronologic record from Leg 201 yielded a more complete record of explosive activity for north-central Andean volcanism than previous studies. Ash layers were identified through detailed core descriptions supplemented by smear slide analysis. Primary ash layers were confirmed through whole-rock and glass geochemistry and petrographic analyses. These data also provided information concerning volcanic episodes represented by the ash layers through correlation to land studies. In addition, correlative ties between drilling sites are suggested. The improved recovery enabled the detailed examination of cores from the Peru margin needed to test the hypothesis that volcanic ash layers and accumulations are more abundant in the study region than previously reported.

    Abstract Background: In type 1 diabetes, women lose their relative protection (compared to men) against coronary artery disease (CAD), while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is less strongly associated with lower CAD risk in women.
    Objective: We aimed to assess whether sex differences in the HDL particle concentration (HDL-P) and cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) association with CAD may explain these findings.
    Methods: HDL-P (calibrated differential ion mobility analysis) and total and ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1)-specific CEC were quantified among 279 men and 271 women with type 1 diabetes (baseline mean age 27·8 years; diabetes duration, 19·6 years). Clinical CAD was defined as CAD death, myocardial infarction and/or coronary revascularization.
    Results: Women had higher large HDL-P levels and marginally lower concentrations of small HDL-P and ABCA1-specific CEC than men. No sex differences were observed in extra-small HDL-P, medium HDL-P and total CEC. During a median follow-up of 26 years, 37·6 % of men and 35·8 % of women developed CAD (p = 0·72). In multivariable Cox models stratified by sex (p
    Conclusion: Despite few absolute differences in HDL-P concentrations by sex, the HDL-P - CAD association was weaker in women, particularly for extra-small HDL-P, suggesting that HDL-P may be less efficient in providing atheroprotection in women and perhaps explaining the lack of a sex difference in CAD in type 1 diabetes.

    Abstract Summary: There is broad consensus that COVID-19 has had a pernicious impact on social work, in general, and among social work practitioners, more specifically. However, at present, very few, if any, empirical examinations of this impact exist. This exploratory study examined peritraumatic distress among a sample of social workers (
    Findings: Analysis suggests that distress is impacted by several variables. In general, participants identifying as male, married, reporting good physical and mental health, working in microcontexts, and who were finically secure tended to experience less COVID-19 associated distress. In addition, social workers identifying as LGBTQ* and who had been working mostly remotely experienced higher levels of distress.
    Applications: Overall, findings indicate the need to provide adept support to social workers practicing during the pandemic. Data suggest the need for targeted support initiatives, typically for those who are from underrepresented groups (e.g., LGBTQ*) or experiencing financial or mental/physical health issues. Certainly, researchers should continue to examine the impact of COVID-19 on social work practitioners and service delivery.

    Abstract Objective: Identify clinically important factors associated with conservative treatment response in Meniere's disease and incorporate these factors into a composite clinical severity staging system.
    Study design: Retrospective cohort.
    Setting: Tertiary academic medical center.
    Methods: Adult patients newly diagnosed with Meniere's disease between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019 were eligible. Patients with previous treatment for Meniere's disease, prior otologic surgery, or a lack of follow-up data were excluded. Treatment-responsive patients were managed with only conservative therapies (eg, dietary modifications, diuretics) and unresponsive patients underwent more intensive therapies (eg, intratympanic procedures, surgical interventions).
    Results: Of 78 patients included in the study, 49 (63%) were responsive to conservative therapies and 29 (37%) were not. Responsive patients had higher proportions of no or mild vertigo (24%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.1%-45.8%) and none or mild comorbidity (27%, 95% CI: 9.2%-44.7%) and a lower proportion of hearing loss (19%, 95% CI: 5.6%-32.4%) compared to unresponsive patients. Conjunctive consolidation of these 3 factors was performed to develop a three-stage system with a treatment response gradient ranging from 100% to 64% to 18% for stage 1 (n = 11), stage 2 (n = 56), and stage 3 (n = 11), respectively.
    Conclusions: This study identified decreased vertigo severity, reduced comorbidity burden, and absence of hearing loss as factors associated with conservative treatment response in Meniere's disease. A composite clinical severity staging system including these 3 factors can be used to optimize treatment selection and promote patient-centered management of Meniere's disease.

    Abstract Innate immunity protects us in youth but turns against us as we age. The reason for this tradeoff is unclear. Seeking a thermodynamic basis, we focused on death fold domains (DFDs), whose ordered polymerization has been stoichiometrically linked to innate immune signal amplification. We hypothesized that soluble ensembles of DFDs function as phase change batteries that store energy via supersaturation and subsequently release it through nucleated polymerization. Using imaging and FRET-based cytometry to characterize the phase behaviors of all 109 human DFDs, we found that the hubs of innate immune signaling networks encode large nucleation barriers that are intrinsically insulated from cross-pathway activation. We showed via optogenetics that supersaturation drives signal amplification and that the inflammasome is constitutively supersaturated
