    Abstract The control of the sheep blowfly relies on the use of insecticides. There have been several reports of in vitro and in vivo resistance to the most widely-used flystrike control chemical, dicyclanil. A recent report also described in vitro resistance to imidacloprid in a strain collected from a single property over three consecutive seasons that also showed resistance to dicyclanil. The present study aimed to use in vitro assays to examine five field-collected blowfly strains to determine if this co-occurrence of resistance to dicyclanil and imidacloprid was present more widely in field strains and to also measure resistance patterns to the other currently-used flystrike control chemicals. Each of the strains showed significant levels of resistance to both dicyclanil and imidacloprid: resistance factors at the IC

    Abstract Periprosthetic femur fracture (PFF) is one of the most common indications for reoperation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). This article provides a review of a symposium on PFF that was presented at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) 2023 annual meeting, including an overview of the Vancouver classification and its implications on treatment and subsequent complications, an updated approach to the management of intraoperative fractures, and finally, contemporary strategies for both osteosynthesis as well as revision arthroplasty for periprosthetic femur fractures.

    Abstract Objectives: Mortality from HIV has significantly declined with the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). This study sought to examine the longitudinal trends in mortality from HIV-related diseases by race, sex, geographical region, and over time as HAART trends changed.
    Methods: We queried the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database and performed serial cross-sectional analyses of national death certificate data for all-cause mortality with comorbid HIV from 1999 to 2020. HIV diseases (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes B20-B24, O98.7, R75) were listed as the contributing cause of death. We calculated the age-adjusted mortality ratio (AAMR) per 1,000,000 individuals and determined mortality trends using the Joinpoint Regression Program. Subgroup analyses were performed by sex, race, region, and organ system. The study period was further stratified into three groups when specific drug regimens were more prevalent.
    Results: In the 22-year study period, 251,759 all-cause mortalities with comorbid HIV were identified. The leading cause of death was infectious disease (84.0%, N = 211,438). Men recorded a higher AAMR than women (4.66 vs 1.65,
    Conclusions: More than 80% of deaths occurred because of infectious disease over the last 2 decades with a decreasing trend over time when stratified by race, sex, and geographical region. Despite advances in HAART, mortality disparities persist which emphasizes the need for targeted interventions in these populations.

    Abstract The resolution of flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF) depends primarily on the crossflow rate and its change over time. In this work, we demonstrate a method for modulation of the crossflow rate during separation that increases the peak-to-peak resolution of the resulting fractograms. In classical FFF methods, the crossflow rate is either maintained constant or decreased during the separation of the different species. In this work, higher resolution between peaks was achieved by a novel gradient method in which the crossflow is increased briefly during separation to allow stronger retention of the later eluting peaks. We first outline the theoretical basis by which improved separation is achieved. We confirm our hypothesis by quantifying the impact of increasing crossflow on the resolution between a monoclonal antibody monomer and its high-molecular-weight aggregate. We then demonstrate that this method is applicable to two different FFF methods (AF4 and HF5) and various pharmaceutically relevant samples (monoclonal antibodies and adeno-associated viruses). Finally, we hypothesize that increasing the force perpendicular to the laminar flow as described here is broadly applicable to all FFF methods and improves the quality of FFF-based separations.

    Abstract As college and university campuses re-open during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is increased concern for mental health crises. Current trends in campus mental health care emphasize providing quality care in a safe, non-judgmental, and non-punitive manner. Collegiate-based emergency medical services organizations are well-positioned to respond to acute mental health crises on college campuses. Campus health professionals and administrators seeking to promote a health-centered approach toward mental health crises should support the growth and development of collegiate-based emergency medical services organizations.

    Abstract Virtually all natural community assemblages are dominated by a handful of common species. Dominant species can exert negative impacts on biodiversity through competitive exclusion, and thus there is a strong incentive to understand imbalances in community composition, changes in dominance hierarchies through time, and mechanisms of coexistence. Pond-breeding amphibians that utilize ephemeral wetlands provide an excellent opportunity to evaluate theoretical predictions of community composition in stochastic environments. One of the most striking features of pond-breeding amphibians is the marked stochastic fluctuations in abundance across years. Given strong theoretical and empirical links between evenness and biomass, one would expect community evenness to change from year to year. Moreover, if different species exhibit different boom-and-bust reproductive cycles, then a storage effect may help to explain why one species does not outcompete all others. Here, we explore the interplay between biotic and abiotic conditions in shaping amphibian communities at two ephemeral wetlands on Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. We document consistent community composition over 6 years of monitoring, resulting from a lack of species turnover and similar responses of all community members to environmental conditions. The similar dynamics of species argues against a storage effect as the sole mechanism for coexistence and instead points to niche partitioning as a more important factor. In support of this conclusion, we show that the degree of synchrony in breeding migrations only correlates with environmental conditions within species, not between species. The lack of pattern seen between species implies that individuals are somewhat constrained in the timing of breeding migrations, perhaps owing in part to competition with other community members. We hope that our work reinvigorates interest in amphibian communities and highlights ephemeral wetlands as model systems to study community dynamics in stochastic environments.

    Abstract Shock is the clinical presentation of circulatory failure with impaired perfusion that results in inadequate cellular oxygen utilization. Treatment requires properly identifying the type of shock that is impacting the patient (obstructive, distributive, cardiogenic, and/or hypovolemic). Complex cases may involve numerous contributors to each type of shock and/or multiple types of shock which can present interesting diagnostic and management challenges to the clinician. In this case report, we present a 54-year-old male with a remote history of a right lung pneumonectomy presenting with multifactorial shock including cardiac tamponade, with initial compression of the expanding pericardial effusion by the postoperative fluid accumulation within the right hemithorax. While in the emergency department, the patient gradually became hypotensive with worsening tachycardia and dyspnea. A bedside echocardiogram revealed an increase in size of the pericardial effusion. An emergent ultrasound-guided pericardial drain was inserted with gradual improvement of his hemodynamics followed by placement of thoracostomy tube. This unique case highlights the importance of utilizing point-of-care ultrasound along with emergent intervention in critical resuscitation.
