    Abstract A synthesis of the unusual ansa-bridged farnesyl hydroquinone derivative likonide B in racemic form is described. The natural product, also known as smenochromene D, was obtained from geranylacetone by a route in which the key steps are a regioselective microwave-mediated Claisen rearrangement of an aryl propargyl ether to deliver the chromene ring, and macrocyclization via an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction. Subsequent HPLC on a chiral stationary phase gave the pure (+)- and (-)-enantiomers, that were studied by CD spectroscopy, thereby shedding some light on the true stereochemical nature of the two natural products (-)-smenochromene D and (+)-likonide B.

    Abstract Background: Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) with glycolytic metabolism suppression plays a pivotal role in diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis. Reorientation of images to match perfusion datasets is critical and myocardial segmentation enables consistent image scaling and quantification. However, both are challenging and labor intensive. We developed a 3D U-Net deep learning (DL) algorithm for automated myocardial segmentation in cardiac sarcoidosis FDG PET.
    Methods: The DL model was trained on 316 patients' FDG PET scans, and left ventricular contours derived from perfusion datasets. Qualitative analysis of clinical readability was performed to compare DL segmentation with the current automated method on a 50-patient test subset. Additionally, left ventricle displacement and angulation, as well as SUVmax sampling were compared to inter-user reproducibility results.
    Results: DL segmentation enhanced readability scores in over 90% of cases compared to the standard segmentation currently used in the software. DL segmentation performed similarly to a trained technologist, surpassing standard segmentation for left ventricle displacement and angulation, as well as correlation of SUVmax.
    Conclusion: The DL-based automated segmentation tool presents a marked improvement in the processing of cardiac sarcoidosis FDG PET, promising enhanced clinical workflow. This tool holds significant potential for accelerating clinical practice and improving consistency and quality. Further research with varied datasets is warranted to broaden its applicability.

    Abstract: ... labeled decoy oligodeoxynucleotide against nuclear factor kappa B (ELIP-NF-κB-FITC) were used ...

    Abstract Liposomes as carriers for CRISPR/Cas9 complexes represent an attractive approach for cardiovascular gene therapy. A critical barrier to this approach remains the efficient delivery of CRISPR-based genetic materials into cardiomyocytes. Echogenic liposomes (ELIP) containing a fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled decoy oligodeoxynucleotide against nuclear factor kappa B (ELIP-NF-κB-FITC) were used both in vitro on mouse neonatal ventricular myocytes and in vivo on rat hearts to assess gene delivery efficacy with or without ultrasound. In vitro analysis was then repeated with ELIP containing Cas9-sg-IL1RL1 (interleukin 1 receptor-like 1) RNA to determine the efficiency of gene knockdown. ELIP-NF-κB-FITC without ultrasound showed limited gene delivery in vitro and in vivo, but ultrasound combined with ELIP notably improved penetration into heart cells and tissues. When ELIP was used to deliver Cas9-sg-IL1RL1 RNA, gene editing was successful and enhanced by ultrasound. This innovative approach shows promise for heart disease gene therapy using CRISPR technology.

    Abstract Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-associated encephalitis (NMDARE) is a rare immune-mediated neuroinflammatory condition characterized by the rapid onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms and autonomic dysfunction. The mechanism of pathogenesis remains incompletely understood, but is thought to be related to antibodies targeting the GluN1 subunit of the NMDA receptor with resultant downstream dysregulation of dopaminergic pathways. Young adults are most frequently affected; the median age at diagnosis is 21 years. There is a strong female predilection with a female sex predominance of 4:1. NMDARE often develops as a paraneoplastic process and is most commonly associated with ovarian teratoma. However, NMDARE has also been described in patients with small cell lung cancer, clear cell renal carcinoma, and other benign and malignant neoplasms. Diagnosis is based on correlation of the clinical presentation, electroencephalography, laboratory studies, and imaging. Computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are essential to identify an underlying tumor, exclude clinicopathologic mimics, and predict the likelihood of long-term functional impairment. Nuclear imaging may be of value for prognostication and to assess the response to therapy. Treatment may involve high-dose corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasma exchange. Herein, we review the hallmark clinicopathologic features and imaging findings of this rare but potentially devastating condition and summarize diagnostic criteria, treatment regimens, and proposed pathogenetic mechanisms.

    Abstract: ... based survey research: (a) overreliance on speech sound norms for eligibility determinations, (b ... and (d) the use of only one treatment approach for all children with SSDs.: Conclusions: De ...

    Abstract Purpose: It is often difficult for school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to prioritize implementing new practices for children with speech sound disorders (SSDs), given burgeoning caseloads and the myriad of other workload tasks. We propose that de-implementation science is equally as important as implementation science. De-implementation science is the recognition and identification of areas that are of "low-value and wasteful." Critically, the idea of de-implementation suggests that we first remove something from a clinician's workload before requesting that they learn and implement something new.
    Method: Situated within the Sustainability in Healthcare by Allocating Resources Effectively (SHARE) framework, we review de-implementation science and current speech sound therapy literature to understand the mechanisms behind continuous use of practices that are no longer supported by science or legislation. We use vignettes to highlight real-life examples that clinicians may be facing in school-based settings and to provide hypothetical solutions, resources, and/or next steps to these common challenges.
    Results: By focusing on Phase 1 of the SHARE framework, we identified four primary practices that can be de-implemented to make space for new evidence-based techniques and approaches. These four practices were determined based on an in-depth review of SLP-based survey research: (a) overreliance on speech sound norms for eligibility determinations, (b) the omission of phonological processing skills within evaluations, (c) homogeneity of service delivery factors, and (d) the use of only one treatment approach for all children with SSDs.
    Conclusions: De-implementation will take work and may lead to some difficult discussions. Implementing a framework, such as SHARE, can guide SLPs toward a reduction in workloads and improved outcomes for children with SSDs.

    Abstract Purpose: The field of HIV-1 vaccinology has evolved during the last 30 years from the first viral vector HIV gene insert constructs to vaccination regimens using a myriad of strategies. These strategies now include germline-targeting, lineage-based, and structure-guided immunogen design. This narrative review outlines the historical context of HIV vaccinology and subsequently highlights the scientific discoveries during the last 6 years that promise to propel the field forward.
    Methods: We conducted a search of 2 electronic databases, PubMed and EMBASE, for experimental studies that involved new HIV immunogen designs between 2013 and 2019. During the title and abstract reviews, publications were excluded if they were written in language other than English and/or were a letter to the editor, a commentary, or a conference-only presentation. We then used ClinicalTrials.gov to identify completed and ongoing clinical trials using these strategies.
    Findings: The HIV vaccinology field has undergone periods of significant growth during the last 3 decades. Findings elucidated in preclinical studies have revealed the importance of the interaction between the cellular and humoral immune system. As a result, several new rationally designed vaccine strategies have been developed and explored in the last 6 years, including native-like envelope trimers, nanoparticle, and mRNA vaccine design strategies among others. Several of these strategies have shown enough promise in animal models to progress toward first-in-human Phase I clinical trials.
    Implications: Rapid developments in preclinical and early-phase clinical studies suggest that a tolerable and effective HIV vaccine may be on the horizon.

    Abstract Purpose: To quantify sponsor-reported shortages of oral antiseizure medications in Australia, estimate the number of patients impacted, and the association between shortages and brand or formulation switching, and changes in adherence.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study of sponsor-reported shortages (defined as where the supply of a medicine will not or will not be likely to meet the demand over a 6-month period) of antiseizure medications reported to the Medicine Shortages Reports Database (Therapeutic Goods Administration, Australia); cross-referencing shortages to the IQVIA-NostraData Dispensing Data (LRx) database, a deidentified, population-level dataset collecting longitudinal dispensation data on individual patients from ∼75% of Australian community pharmacy scripts.
    Results: Ninety-seven sponsor-reported ASM shortages were identified between 2019 and 2020; of those, 90 (93%) were shortages of generic ASM brands. Of 1,247,787 patients dispensed ≥1 ASMs, 242,947 (19.5%) were impacted by shortages. Sponsor-reported shortages occurred more frequently before the COVID-19 pandemic versus during the pandemic, however, shortages were estimated to affect more patients during the pandemic than before the pandemic. An estimated 330,872 patient-level shortage events were observed, and 98.5% were associated with shortages of generic ASM brands. Shortages occurred at a rate of 41.06 shortages per 100 person-years in patients on generic ASM brands versus 0.83 shortages per 100 person-years in patients on originator ASM brands. In patients taking a formulation of levetiracetam affected by a shortage, 67.6% switched to a different levetiracetam brand or formulation during shortages compared with 46.6% in non-shortage periods.
    Conclusions: Approximately 20% of patients on ASMs were estimated to have been impacted by an ASM shortage in Australia. The rate of patient-level shortages was approximately 50 times higher for patients on generic ASM brands versus originator brands. Shortages of levetiracetam were associated with formulation and brand switching. Improved supply chain management amongst sponsors of generic ASMs is needed to maintain the continuity of supply in Australia.
