    Abstract Natural language processing techniques have increased the volume and variety of text data that can be analyzed. The aim of this study was to identify the positive and negative topical sentiments among diet, diabetes, exercise, and obesity tweets. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-method design for our analytical framework, we analyzed a data corpus of 1.7 million diet, diabetes, exercise, and obesity (DDEO)-related tweets collected over 12 months. Sentiment analysis and topic modeling were used to analyze the data. The results show that overall, 29% of the tweets were positive, and 17% were negative. Using sentiment analysis and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling, we analyzed 800 positive and negative DDEO topics. From the 800 LDA topics-after the qualitative and computational removal of incoherent topics-473 topics were characterized as coherent. Obesity was the only query health topic with a higher percentage of negative tweets. The use of social media by public health practitioners should focus not only on the dissemination of health information based on the topics discovered but also consider what they can do for the health consumer as a result of the interaction in digital spaces such as social media. Future studies will benefit from using multiclass sentiment analysis methods associated with other novel topic modeling approaches.

    Abstract This report examines the feasibility of determination of Vitamin D3, D2 and their 25-hydroxy metabolites utilizing Gas Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) as a potential alternative to popular Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) methodologies. The GC/MS/MS approach was found to operate reasonably well despite long-standing concerns that gas-liquid chromatography of vitamin D compounds invoke thermal rearrangements owing to the relatively high inlet and capillary column temperatures used. The workup procedure involved incubation of feed samples with concentrated potassium hydroxide for overnight fat saponification, extraction of D Vitamins in n-hexane and reaction with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide at 70 °C for 30 mins. In addition to parent compounds, small amounts of pyro-, isopyro-, and iso-vitamin D and isotachysterol3 variants were obtained from each Vitamin D-related compound upon extraction and GC/MS/MS analysis. Mass spectral and chromatographic behavior of these compounds are herein described and interpreted. Multiple Reaction Monitoring settings on GC/MS/MS included

    Abstract Background and objective: Rivaroxaban and apixaban are direct oral anticoagulants increasing in popularity as convenient alternatives to warfarin. However, current guidelines recommend against use in patients with a BMI > 40 kg/m
    Methods: A systematic literature review (guided by PRISMA) was performed through January 27, 2021 using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. Key search term clusters included drug and weight-related concepts (overweight/obese, body mass index [BMI], waist circumference). DistillerSR was utilized to review and process search results. Studies met inclusion if they analyzed the risk of bleeding and/or thrombosis in patients with increased body mass (i.e., via BMI or other criteria) receiving rivaroxaban or apixaban. Clinical guidelines, case reports/series, pharmacokinetic/dynamic analyses, and commentaries were excluded. Bias was examined qualitatively across studies.
    Results: After duplicates were removed, the original search rendered 1822 abstracts and 200 full-texts for screening, ultimately providing a final set of 24 studies for qualitative review. Of these studies, 13 (54.2%) enabled comparisons between patients of increased versus normal body mass, while 11 (45.8%) reported outcomes only for patients of increased body mass. The working definition of 'increased body mass' varied amongst the studies, including 11 (45.8%) studies that utilized BMI, seven (29.2%) with a combination of BMI and body measurement, two (8.3%) that relied on body weight alone, and four (16.7%) that identified obesity-related ICD codes. All 13 comparative studies found similar or reduced rates of safety and efficacy outcomes with rivaroxaban and apixaban.
    Conclusion: The literature reports similar or lower bleeding and thrombotic risk for rivaroxaban and apixaban in patients of increased body mass compared to patients of normal body mass. Future prospective controlled studies are needed to further define guidelines for use in this population.

    Abstract Pediatric critical care addresses prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of organ dysfunction in the setting of increasingly complex patients, therapies, and environments. Soon burgeoning data science will enable all aspects of intensive care: driving facilitated diagnostics, empowering a learning health-care environment, promoting continuous advancement of care, and informing the continuum of critical care outside the intensive care unit preceding and following critical illness/injury. Although novel technology will progressively objectify personalized critical care, humanism, practiced at the bedside, defines the essence of pediatric critical care now and in the future.

    Abstract Most coagulase-negative staphylococcal species, including the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis, struggle to maintain redox homeostasis and grow under nitrosative stress. Under these conditions, growth can only resume once nitric oxide (NO) is detoxified by the flavohemoglobin Hmp. Paradoxically, S. epidermidis produces endogenous NO through its genetically encoded nitric oxide synthase (seNOS) and heavily relies on its activity for growth. In this study, we investigate the basis of the growth advantage attributed to seNOS activity. Our findings reveal that seNOS supports growth by countering Hmp toxicity. S. epidermidis relies on Hmp activity for its survival in the host under NO stress. However, in the absence of nitrosative stress, Hmp generates significant amounts of the harmful superoxide radical (O

    Abstract Hypertension is a complex and multifaceted disease, and there are well established sex differences in many aspects of blood pressure (BP) control. The intent of this review is to highlight recent work examining sex differences in the molecular mechanisms of BP control in hypertension to assess whether the "one-size-fits-all" approach to BP control is appropriate with regard to sex.

    Abstract Structural and functional studies require the development of sophisticated 'Big Data' technologies and software to increase the knowledge derived and ensure reproducibility of the data. This paper presents summaries of the Structural Biology Knowledge Base, the VIPERdb Virus Structure Database, evaluation of homology modeling by the Protein Model Portal, the ProSMART tool for conformation-independent structure comparison, the LabDB 'super' laboratory information management system and the Cambridge Structural Database. These techniques and technologies represent important tools for the transformation of crystallographic data into knowledge and information, in an effort to address the problem of non-reproducibility of experimental results.
