    Abstract Objectives: Several studies have suggested that anxiety disorders in childhood and adolescence often precede the onset of bipolar disorder. We therefore systematically reviewed the relationship between child and adolescent anxiety and later bipolar disorder.
    Methods: Online databases (Medline [for Ovid], EMBASE and PsychINFO) were searched for original, peer-reviewed studies examining the relationship between child and adolescent anxiety and later bipolar disorder. Studies in both community samples and bipolar offspring samples were included.
    Results: A total of 16 studies were included in the review. The results were broadly consistent and revealed that child and adolescent anxiety disorders are associated with later bipolar disorder in community samples. In bipolar offspring, child and adolescent anxiety disorders are a marker of increased risk and predict the onset of bipolar disorder and other major mood disorders.
    Conclusions: There is evidence that anxiety disorders in childhood and adolescence increase the risk of later bipolar disorder. Anxiety disorders may be a useful target for early intervention in those at high-risk of bipolar disorder.

    Abstract The 2022 mpox (formerly monkeypox) outbreak affected predominantly men who have sex with men (MSM), likely through sexual transmission, which resulted in institutions specializing in sexual health being at the frontlines of the mpox outbreak. Fenway Health in Boston serves close to 10 000 MSM annually, which includes more than 2400 MSM who are living with HIV and 3320 MSM with active HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescriptions. We report on the programs implemented and changes to clinical practice at Fenway Health during the mpox outbreak. Fenway Health diagnosed its first case of mpox in June 2022 and treated this patient with tecovirimat. In early July 2022, Fenway Health administered its first dose of the Jynneos vaccine under the Emergency Use Authorization for protection against mpox. As of October 6, 2022, 69 people had tested positive for the mpox virus at Fenway Health. Among the 69 people who tested positive, 43 (62.3%) self-identified as male, with the remaining not reporting a sex or gender identity, and 40 (58.0%) reported their sexual orientation as gay or bisexual. Twenty-five people (36.2%) were treated with tecovirimat. As of October 30, 2022, Fenway Health had administered 6376 doses of the Jynneos vaccine. The programmatic changes involved in rollout and scale-up of vaccination, treatment, and community outreach services at Fenway Health during the 2022 mpox outbreak that we describe here could inform strategies to address subsequent outbreaks.

    Abstract Two major mechanisms safeguard genome stability during mitosis: the mitotic checkpoint delays mitosis until all chromosomes have attached to microtubules, and the kinetochore-microtubule error-correction pathway keeps this attachment process free from errors. We demonstrate here that the optimal strength and dynamics of these processes are set by a kinase-phosphatase pair (PLK1-PP2A) that engage in negative feedback from adjacent phospho-binding motifs on the BUB complex. Uncoupling this feedback to skew the balance towards PLK1 produces a strong checkpoint, hypostable microtubule attachments and mitotic delays. Conversely, skewing the balance towards PP2A causes a weak checkpoint, hyperstable microtubule attachments and chromosome segregation errors. These phenotypes are associated with altered BUB complex recruitment to KNL1-MELT motifs, implicating PLK1-PP2A in controlling auto-amplification of MELT phosphorylation. In support, KNL1-BUB disassembly becomes contingent on PLK1 inhibition when KNL1 is engineered to contain excess MELT motifs. This elevates BUB-PLK1/PP2A complex levels on metaphase kinetochores, stabilises kinetochore-microtubule attachments, induces chromosome segregation defects and prevents KNL1-BUB disassembly at anaphase. Together, these data demonstrate how a bifunctional PLK1/PP2A module has evolved together with the MELT motifs to optimise BUB complex dynamics and ensure accurate chromosome segregation.

    Abstract Implant malalignment has been reported to be a primary reason for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In addition, altered muscle coordination patterns are commonly observed in TKA patients, which is thought to alter knee contact loads. A comprehensive understanding of the influence of surgical implantation and muscle recruitment strategies on joint contact mechanics is crucial to improve surgical techniques, increase implant longevity, and inform rehabilitation protocols. In this study, a detailed musculoskeletal model with a 12 degrees of freedom knee was developed to represent a TKA subject from the CAMS-Knee datasets. Using motion capture and ground reaction force data, a level walking cycle was simulated and the joint movement and loading patterns were estimated using a novel technique for concurrent optimization of muscle activations and joint kinematics. In addition, over 12'000 Monte Carlo simulations were performed to predict knee contact mechanics during walking, considering numerous combinations of implant alignment and muscle activation scenarios. Validation of our baseline simulation showed good agreement between the model kinematics and loading patterns against the in vivo data. Our analyses reveal a considerable impact of implant alignment on the joint kinematics, while variation in muscle activation strategies mainly affects knee contact loading. Moreover, our results indicate that high knee compressive forces do not necessarily originate from extreme kinematics and vice versa. This study provides an improved understanding of the complex inter-relationships between loading and movement patterns resulting from different surgical implantation and muscle coordination strategies and presents a validated framework towards population-based modelling in TKA.

    Abstract We analyzed the port interceptions of the red dwarf honeybee, Apis (Micrapis) florea and undetermined species of Apis from regions where the A. florea is present. We also provide information on the potential distribution of this species globally and for the USA by using two climatic suitability models: Plant Hardiness Zones and Maxent. The results show several significant interceptions at US ports of entry in the last 10 years, including complete colonies associated with sea containers. In addition, the climatic models showed suitable areas in warmer regions of the world, and Southern and Western USA. Finally, we provide some additional notes for the diagnosis of the females and males of A. florea, including some novel characters from the gonangulum and the sting blades, both parts of the complex sting apparatus of the workers.

    Abstract We update the geographical distribution for Xylocopa appendiculata Smith, from eastern Asia, which was first reported from the United States of America (USA) in 2013. After the publication by Dahlberg et al. (2013), there have been more sightings supporting the establishment of X. appendiculata in northern California. We used plant hardiness zones and maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling to estimate the potential distribution of X. appendiculata in the USA using specimen data from multiple occurrences (confirmed data from literature, museum specimens and validated data from Discover Life.org and iNaturalist.org). We include images and a list of diagnostic features for the identification of the subgenus Alloxylocopa Hurd and Moure and the species X. appendiculata so that it can be identified and reported to corresponding state or federal authorities, if necessary.
