    Abstract When viruses have segmented genomes, the set of frequencies describing the abundance of segments is called the genome formula. The genome formula is often unbalanced and highly variable for both segmented and multipartite viruses. A growing number of studies are quantifying the genome formula to measure its effects on infection and to consider its ecological and evolutionary implications. Different approaches have been reported for analyzing genome formula data, including qualitative description, applying standard statistical tests such as ANOVA, and customized analyses. However, these approaches have different shortcomings, and test assumptions are often unmet, potentially leading to erroneous conclusions. Here, we address these challenges, leading to a threefold contribution. First, we propose a simple metric for analyzing genome formula variation: the genome formula distance. We describe the properties of this metric and provide a framework for understanding metric values. Second, we explain how this metric can be applied for different purposes, including testing for genome-formula differences and comparing observations to a reference genome formula value. Third, we re-analyze published data to illustrate the applications and weigh the evidence for previous conclusions. Our re-analysis of published datasets confirms many previous results but also provides evidence that the genome formula can be carried over from the inoculum to the virus population in a host. The simple procedures we propose contribute to the robust and accessible analysis of genome-formula data.

    Abstract Purpose: To discuss the clinical trial results leading to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of anti-complement therapies for geographic atrophy (GA), perspectives on functional data from the GA clinical trials, and how lessons from the FDA approval may guide future directions for basic and clinical research in AMD.
    Design: Selected literature review with analysis and perspective METHODS: We performed a targeted review of publicly available data from the clinical trials of pegcetacoplan and avacincaptad for the treatment of GA, as well as scientific literature on the natural history of GA and the genetics and basic science of complement in AMD.
    Results: The approval of pegcetacoplan and avacincaptad was based on an anatomic endpoint of a reduction in the rate of GA expansion over time. However, functional data from 2 phase 3 clinical trials for each drug demonstrated no visual benefit to patients in the treatment groups. Review of the genetics of AMD and the basic science of the role for complement in AMD provides only modest support for targeting complement as treatment for GA expansion, and alternative molecular targets for GA treatment are therefore discussed. Reasons for the disconnect between anatomic and functional outcomes in the clinical trials of anti-complement therapies are discussed, providing insight to guide the configuration of future clinical studies for GA.
    Conclusion: Although avacincaptad and pegcetacoplan are our first FDA-approved treatments for GA, results from the clinical trials failed to show any functional improvement after 1 and 2 years, respectively, calling into question whether the drugs represent a "clinically relevant outcome." To improve the chances of more impactful therapies in the future, we provide basic-science rationale for pursuing non-complement targets; emphasize the importance of ongoing clinical research that more closely pins anatomic features of GA to functional outcomes; and provide suggestions for clinical endpoints for future clinical trials on GA.

    Abstract Background: Acquisition of high quality sperm is key to the artificial propagation of eels in captivity, but fertility drugs are expensive and repeated handling is stressful to the fish. An interrupted treatment regime (an initial hormone injection to stimulate spermatogenesis, followed several weeks later by weekly booster injections to induce sperm maturation) for acquisition of sperm in captive male eels has promise for high sperm quality on the one hand, and animal welfare benefits on the other. To further develop this approach for shortfinned eel,
    Methods: Male eels were artificially induced to mature with a single injection of 0, 250, 500 or 1,000 IU/fish of hCG, administered either intramuscularly (IM) or intraperitoneally (IP). Sperm maturation was induced with 150 IU hCG/fish from week 5 onwards and sperm collected for evaluation of quality by computer-assisted sperm analysis.
    Results: Control males did not mature and hence, sperm could not be retrieved and analysed, but all other treatments were effective in inducing testicular maturation. Milt volume tended to be higher for fish injected IM compared to those injected IP, whereas hCG dose had no effect. Conversely, the concentration of spermatozoa tended to be higher for several sperm collection time points in IP-injected than in IM-injected fish. Sperm quality, represented by percent motility, percent progressive motility and curvilinear velocity, was equal in fish given an initial dose of 250 IU hCG to those given higher initial doses of hCG.
    Conclusions: We recommend that an initial dose of 250 IU hCG/fish be administered to induce spermatogenesis in male

    Abstract Dilated perivascular spaces (PVSs) are common and easily recognized on imaging. However, rarer giant tumefactive PVSs (GTPVSs) can have unusual multilocular cystic configurations, and are often confused for other pathologic entities, including neoplasms, cystic infarctions, and neuroepithelial cysts. Because GTPVSs are scarcely encountered and even more infrequently operated upon, many radiologists are unaware of the imaging and pathologic features of these lesions. Here, a case of a resected GTPVS is presented, highlighting both its radiologic and histologic characteristics, and discussing how such lesions can be differentiated from their closest mimickers on imaging.
