    Abstract The principles governing genotype-phenotype relationships are still emerging(1-3), and detailed translational as well as transcriptomic information is required to understand complex phenotypes, such as the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. For this reason, the proteomics of Alzheimer disease (AD) continues to be studied extensively. Although comparisons between data obtained from humans and mouse models have been reported, approaches that specifically address the between-species statistical comparisons are understudied. Our study investigated the performance of two statistical methods for identification of proteins and biological pathways associated with Alzheimer's disease for cross-species comparisons, taking specific data analysis challenges into account, including collinearity, dimensionality reduction and cross-species protein matching. We used a human dataset from a well-characterized cohort followed for over 22 years with proteomic data available. For the mouse model, we generated proteomic data from whole brains of CVN-AD and matching control mouse models. We used these analyses to determine the reliability of a mouse model to forecast significant proteomic-based pathological changes in the brain that may mimic pathology in human Alzheimer's disease. Compared with LASSO regression, partial least squares discriminant analysis provided better statistical performance for the proteomics analysis. The major biological finding of the study was that extracellular matrix proteins and integrin-related pathways were dysregulated in both the human and mouse data. This approach may help inform the development of mouse models that are more relevant to the study of human late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

    Abstract The flowering behaviour of 17 Pisum mutants and 20 recombinants was studied under three different temperatures using long-day phytotron conditions. A constant low temperature of 12.5 ° C led to a strong delay in flowering in all the genotypes tested but distinct relative differences could be found between them. Relative differences were also present with regard to speed of ontogenetic development under a permanent high temperature of 25.5 °C or under an alternating change between low and high temperature. Under the low temperature, recombinants R 20D and R 20E, carrying gene efr for earliness, entered the flowering period more than 4 weeks later than the donor of efr, demonstrating thereby a negative influence of one of the other mutant genes on efr. The high temperature of 25 °C influenced the flowering behaviour of 4 fasciated genotypes negatively - in contrast to the other strains studied. The plants of recombinant R 405 produced only tiny flower buds under these conditions. None of the plants of recombinant R 142F flowered under either the constant low or high temperature - they need the change of low and higher temperature for normal flower formation. The experiments show that most of the genotypes tested react specifically to the three temperature conditions offered to them.

    Abstract Background: The pathophysiology of vasospasm (VS) after non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage is not completely understood. Several risk factors associated with VS were previously reported, partially with conflicting results. The aim of this study was to identify patients at increased risk for VS.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of data from all patients treated in our institutional intensive care unit (ICU) between 2010 and 2016 after non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Possible contributing factors for VS studied were: age, sex, aneurysm-localization, treatment option, ICU-stay, ICU mortality, pre-existing condition, medication history, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grading system, modified Fisher scale.
    Results: We obtained data from 456 patients. 184 were male and 272 female patients, respectively. Mean age was 57.7±13.9 and was not different between sexes. In 119 patients, VS was diagnosed after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Incidence of VS was not different between sexes (male: 22.3%, female: 28.7%, P=0.127). Patients with VS were significantly younger (mean age 52.2 vs. 59.7, P<0.001), meanwhile patients aged 36-40 yrs. had the highest incidence of VS. Most VS were found after rupture of middle cerebral artery-aneurysms. Higher incidence of VS was found after aneurysm clipping compared to coiling. VS developed more often in patients with more severe WFNS grade and Fisher scale. In multivariate analysis, age, previous drug abuse and history of anticoagulants were associated with the incidence of VS.
    Conclusions: Younger age, middle cerebral artery-aneurysms, aneurysm clipping, previous drug abuse and history of anticoagulants were associated with a higher incidence of VS after non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. No gender difference was found.

    Abstract The objective of this Research-Practice Partnership was to disseminate and implement strategies to assist Community Health Centers in improving the care of rural cancer survivors in Montana. Funded by the National Cancer Institute's Community Outreach and Engagement mechanism, this project utilized the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) program planning framework from Healthy People 2020. Partners included Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services' Cancer Control Program, Montana Primary Care Association, One Health Community Health Center, and Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. Project activities focused on (1) Planning, creating, implementing, and evaluating provider/care team education sessions through the Project ECHO tele-mentoring platform and through short webinars and (2) Building processes for identifying, documenting, and connecting with survivors using electronic health records (EHRs) and other resources. Lessons learned from this project include the value of aligning partner goals from the outset to foster sustained commitment, the importance of adapting implementation plans to address challenges and leverage opportunities, and the need for accurate EHR data and formal processes for identifying and engaging with cancer survivors.

    Abstract Purpose: Cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) is the second most common compressive neuropathy of the upper extremity. We aimed to determine a consensus among experts using the Delphi method for clinical criteria that could be validated further for the diagnosis of CuTS.
    Methods: The Delphi method was used for establishing a consensus among a group of expert panelists, comprising 12 hand and upper-extremity surgeons, who ranked the diagnostic clinical importance of 55 items related to CuTS on a scale from 1 (least important) to 10 (most important). The average and SDs of each item were calculated, and Cronbach α was used to assess homogeneity among the panelist-ranked items.
    Results: All panelists answered the 55-item questionnaire. A Cronbach α value of 0.963 was obtained on the first iteration. The top criteria that were considered most clinically relevant to the diagnosis of CuTS among the group were determined based on the most highly ranked and correlated items among the expert panelist group. The criteria based on which there was agreement were as follows: (1) paresthesias in ulnar nerve distribution, (2) symptoms precipitated by increased elbow flexion/positive elbow flexion tests, (3) positive Tinel sign at the medial elbow, (4) atrophy/weakness/ late findings (eg, claw hand of the ring/small finger and Wartenberg or Froment sign) of ulnar nerve-innervated muscles of the hand, (5) loss of two-point discrimination in ulnar nerve distribution, and (6) similar symptoms on the involved side after successful treatment on the contralateral side.
    Conclusions: Our study demonstrated a consensus among an expert panelist group of hand and upper-extremity surgeons on potential diagnostic criteria for CuTS. This consensus on diagnostic criteria may help clinicians readily diagnose CuTS in a standardized form; however, further weighting and validation are necessary prior to the development of a formal diagnostic scale.
    Clinical relevance: This study is the first step in producing a consensus on how to diagnose CuTS.

    Abstract Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of various fungal species that can contaminate food and feed, as well as indoor environments. Numerous studies have summarized the adverse health effects of mycotoxins and described severe intoxications of humans and animals. The major health concerns are caused via the alimentary route which unambiguously is the main source for human internal exposure; however, the relevance of other pathways under environmental and occupational conditions should also be considered. Thus firstly, this review aims in summarizing literature data on potentially inhalable mycotoxins occurring in dusts or air in residences and in working environments. Secondly, it gives an overview of the overall internal body burden of mycotoxins in humans in an attempt to characterize total human exposure. These data are also discussed in relation to the current toxicologically based values used for risk assessment.

    Abstract Objective: In recent years, it has been suggested that the modification of dysfunctional posttraumatic cognitions plays a central role as a mechanism of change in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Indeed, several studies have shown that changes in dysfunctional posttraumatic cognitions precede and predict symptom change. However, these studies have investigated the influence on
    Method: As part of a naturalistic effectiveness study evaluating trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy for PTSD in routine clinical care, 61 patients with PTSD filled out measures of dysfunctional posttraumatic cognitions and PTSD symptom severity every five sessions during the course of treatment. Lagged associations between dysfunctional cognitions and symptom severity at the following timepoint were examined using linear mixed models.
    Results: Over the course of therapy, both dysfunctional cognitions and PTSD symptoms decreased. Posttraumatic cognitions predicted subsequent total PTSD symptom severity, although this effect was at least partly explained by the time factor. Moreover, dysfunctional cognitions predicted three out of four symptom clusters as expected. However, these effects were no longer statistically significant when the general effect for time was controlled for.
    Conclusion: The present study provides preliminary evidence that dysfunctional posttraumatic cognitions predict PTSD symptom clusters differentially. However, different findings when employing a traditional versus a more rigorous statistical approach make interpretation of findings difficult.

    Abstract Background: Over the last 50 years arthroplasty became the gold-standard treatment for disabling conditions of the coxofemoral joint. Variations of anterior, lateral, and dorsal incision have been applied, but as each approach requires the incision and reflection of various muscles to gain adequate exposure of the joint results are still controversial.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a minimal-invasive, tissue-sparing approach in sheep with reduced risks in animal testing.
    Methods: 12 mature sheep underwent hip surgery as part of a study to evaluate a hip resurfacing system. In line with the preliminary cadaveric tests a modified, minimal-invasive, musclepreserving surgical approach was sought after.
    Results: We developed a surgical approach to the coxofemoral joint in sheep using only blunt tissue dissection after skin incision without any limitations in joint exposure or increased blood loss/duration of surgery.
    Conclusion: Even though limitations occur and femoral orientation in sheep differs from man, joint forces have similar relative directions to the bone with similar bony and vascular anatomy. Therefore, this minimal-invasive muscle preserving approach might be a safe and comparable alternative in still inevitable animal testing.

    Abstract Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve compression at the elbow (e.g., cubital tunnel syndrome) are the most common upper extremity compressive neuropa- thies treated by hand surgeons. The aim of this study was to determine demographic factors and comorbidities that can help predict those patients most likely to undergo concurrent release of both the carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve at the elbow. We hypothesized that certain comorbidities, such as diabetes, would be associated with an increased risk for the necessity of concomitant procedures.
    Methods: Using Truven Marketscan® database, all patients who underwent carpal tunnel release were identified from 2010 to 2017 using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Patients were only included if they had continuous enrollment in the database for 12 months preoperatively. Preoperative comorbidities and concurrent procedures were collected us- ing CPT and ICD-9 and 10 codes. Patients who underwent simultaneous carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve at the elbow release on the same day were compared to those patients who underwent carpal tunnel release alone. Additionally, patients who underwent either procedure initially and then went on to have the other procedure at a later date were compared. Univariate analysis and binomial logistic regression were performed to assess the contribution of patient demographics and comorbidities on the necessity of simultaneous release.
    Results: 259,574 patients underwent carpal tunnel release surgery and were included in the study. 24,401 (7.9%) of pa- tients also underwent simultaneous ulnar nerve release at the elbow on the same day. Significant risk factors associated with the need for simultaneous release, were male gender [(Odds Ratio (OR): 2.05, Confidence Interval (CI): 2.00-2.11, p < 0.001)], chronic pain (OR: 1.78, CI: 1.68-1.87, p < 0.001), diabetes (OR: 1.29, CI: 1.25-1.33, p < 0.001), history of al- coholism (OR: 1.23, CI: 1.10-1.38, p < 0.001), chronic renal disease (OR: 1.26, CI: 1.18-1.34, p < 0.001), tobacco use (OR: 1.49, CI: 1.42-1.56, p < 0.001), and patients with congestive heart failure (OR: 1.26, CI: 1.17-1.35, p < 0.001). Patients with consumer driven health plans and high deductible health plans (HDHP) were 1.5 times more likely to have simultane- ous release compared to those with comprehensive plans (OR: 1.46, CI: 1.37-1.56, p < 0.001; OR: 1.45, CI: 1.34-1.57, p < 0.001; respectively). For necessity of subsequent carpal or ulnar nerve release after either primary procedure, patients with a minimum of 3 years enrollment in the database were analyzed. Of the 113,505 patients who underwent initial carpal tunnel release, 1,746 (1.5%) went on to undergo release of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. Of the 12,673 patients who had initial ulnar nerve releases at the elbow, 721 (5.7%) required additional release of the carpal tunnel.
    Conclusion: Identification of patient demographic factors and comorbidities that can help predict the likelihood of si- multaneous release of both the carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve at the elbow can help direct management of these patients. Combining the two procedures can help save resources, minimize patient burden, and help reduce excess health care utilization.
