    Abstract Giraffe numbers grow exponentially when farmed, necessitating periodic culling. This study quantified the effect of sex and muscle on the physical quality characteristics of eight giraffe muscles. The Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) was the only parameter to be affected by an interaction between sex and muscle (P < 0.001), although the interaction for the CIE L* values tended towards significance (P = 0.054). Cooking loss (male = 41.6 ± 0.35%; female = 40.7 ± 0.33%; P = 0.024) and CIE L* values (male = 38.8 ± 0.23; female = 37.3 ± 0.27; P = 0.039) were both affected by sex. Muscle had an effect on all physical parameters. The ultimate pH of all muscles was 5.5–5.9; the average WBSF of <43 N for all muscles indicates giraffe meat in this study is tender. This study shows that yield and physical characteristics of giraffe meat are favourable, and the results may be useful for the marketing of giraffe meat.

    Abstract Background: We sought to determine if using fasting blood glucose (FBG) through text-based care is an effective screening tool for type 2 diabetes in the postpartum period compared to in-person, 2-hour oral glucose tolerance testing (2hr OGTT).
    Methods: This was a single-center interventional study that included individuals diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Patients were enrolled in standard, office-based 2hr OGTT in combination with text-based remote diabetes screening. Study participants were instructed to record FBG for 3 consecutive days using a mobile application. We assessed agreement with 2hr OGTT using sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value with exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.
    Results: A total of 446 individuals diagnosed with gestational diabetes met inclusion criteria, 239 of which were enrolled in standard office-based screening and 207 were enrolled in dual screening using standard 2hr OGTT testing combined with text-based remote FBG screening. A FBG value less than 100 mg/dL had 100% sensitivity (86-100%), 86% specificity (77-93%) with a 100% (94-100%) negative predictive value and 71% (54-85%) positive predictive value. Follow-up was significantly higher among individuals enrolled in remote text-based screening compared to standard in-office screening (48%
    Conclusions: Text-based screening may be a feasible alternative to in-office screening. A mobile-based system using FBG successfully screened all patients with type 2 diabetes in the postpartum period with 100% sensitivity and negative predictive value. Remote telehealth screening significantly increased follow-up with type 2 diabetes screening.

    Abstract Gut microbiota produce tryptophan metabolites (TMs) important to homeostasis. However, measuring TM levels in stool and determining their microbial sources can be difficult. Here, we measured TMs from the indole pathway in fecal samples from 21 healthy adults with the goal to: 1) determine fecal TM concentrations in healthy individuals; 2) link TM levels to bacterial abundance using 16S and whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing data; and 3) predict likely bacterial sources of TM production. Within our samples, we identified 151 genera (16S) and 592 bacterial species (WGS). Eight TMs were found in ≥17 fecal samples, including four in all persons. To our knowledge, we are the first to report fecal levels for indole-3-lactate, indole-3-propionate, and 3-indoleacrylate levels in healthy persons. Overall, indole, indole-3-acetate (IAA), and skatole accounted for 86% of the eight TMs measured. Significant correlations were found between seven TMs and 29 bacterial species.  Predicted multiple TM sources support the notion of a complex network of TM production and regulation. Further, the data suggest key roles for Collinsella aerofaciens and IAA, a metabolite reported to maintain intestinal homeostasis through enhanced barrier integrity and anti-inflammatory/antioxidant activities. These findings extend our understanding of TMs and their relationship to the microbial species that act as effectors and/or regulators in the healthy intestine and may lead to novel strategies designed to manipulate tryptophan metabolism to prevent disease and/or restore health to the dysbiotic gut.

    Abstract Objective: The medical community has become aware of its role in contributing to the opioid epidemic and must be part of its resolution. Recovery community centers (RCCs) represent a new underused component of recovery support.
    Methods: This study performed an online national survey of all RCCs identified in the United States, and used US Census ZIP code tabulation area data to describe the communities they serve.
    Results: Residents of areas with RCCs were more likely to be Black (16.5% vs 12.6% nationally, P = 0.005) and less likely to be Asian (4.7% vs 5.7%, P = 0.005), American Indian, or Alaskan Native (0.6% vs 0.8%, P = 0.03), or live rurally (8.5% vs 14.0%, P < 0.0001). More than half of RCCs began operations within the past 5 years. Recovery community centers were operated, on average, by 8.8 paid and 10.2 volunteer staff; each RCC served a median of 125 individuals per month (4-1,500). Recovery community centers successfully engaged racial/ethnic minority groups (20.8% Hispanic, 22.5% Black) and young adults (23.5% younger than 25 years). Recovery community centers provide addiction-specific support (eg, mutual help, recovery coaching) and assistance with basic needs, social services, technology access, and health behaviors. Regarding medications for opioid use disorder (MOUDs), RCC staff engaged members in conversations about MOUDs (85.2%) and provided direct support for taking MOUD (77.0%). One third (36.1%) of RCCs reported seeking closer collaboration with prescribers.
    Conclusions: Recovery community centers are welcoming environments for people who take MOUDs. Closer collaboration between the medical community and community-based peer-led RCCs may lead to significantly improved reach of efforts to end the opioid epidemic.

    Abstract Aims: Two guidelines for haemodialysis in lithium poisoning, one from the Extracorporeal TReatments in Poisoning (EXTRIP) workgroup and a single centre retrospective one (Paris) differ. We compared outcomes in lithium poisoning based on these criteria with a primary outcome of worsening neurological symptoms in patients for whom EXTRIP and Paris criteria were discordant.
    Methods: Poison centre data were queried for lithium poisoned patients for whom haemodialysis was either recommended or performed. Patients were categorized according to EXTRIP and Paris criteria and excluded if the peak lithium concentration was <1.2 mmol/L or if neurological follow-up was unavailable. Comparative analyses were only performed when both criteria could be assessed.
    Results: In total, 219 patients were analysed. Paris criteria were met in 70 and EXTRIP criteria in 178. Forty two patients were excluded because Paris criteria could not be evaluated. When Paris and EXTRIP both supported haemodialysis, 50/57 (88%) of patients who received haemodialysis improved, as did all 3 who did not receive haemodialysis. When Paris and EXTRIP did not support haemodialysis, all nondialysed patients did well. Among the 86 patients for whom EXTRIP supported haemodialysis but Paris did not, 4/19 (21%) patients not dialysed deteriorated (P = .02; odds ratio = 8.7, 95% confidence interval = 1.5-51.8), 1 of whom died. All 8 patients for whom Paris criteria supported haemodialysis but EXTRIP did not were dialysed and improved.
    Conclusions: When the EXTRIP and Paris criteria are discordant, EXTRIP criteria outperforms the Paris criteria at identifying potentially ill patients who might benefit from haemodialysis.

    Abstract Background: Global collaboration has the potential to induce a shift in research focus away from the priorities of those in low- and low-middle-income countries (LICs and LMICs). This study quantified international collaboration among surgery publications by Fellows of the West African College of Surgeons (WACS) and investigated if collaboration with upper-middle-income and high-income countries (UMICs and HICs) decreases the homophily of research focus.
    Methods: Publications by WACS surgery Fellows from 1960 to 2019 were characterized as local WACS publications, collaborative publications without UMIC/HIC participation, or collaborative publications with UMIC/HIC participation. Research topics were determined for each publication, and topic percentages were compared between collaboration groups.
    Results: We analyzed 5065 publications. Most (3690 publications, 73%) were local WACS publications, while 742 (15%) were collaborative publications with UMIC/HIC participation and 633 (12%) were collaborative publications without UMIC/HIC participation. UMIC/HIC collaborations contributed to 49% of the increase (378 out of 766 publications) from 2000 to 2019. Topic homophily was significantly lower between local WACS publications and collaborations with UMIC/HIC participation (differed in nine research topics) than it was between local WACS publications and collaborations without UMIC/HIC participation (differed in two research topics).
    Conclusions: Publications without international collaboration comprise most WACS research, but the rate of UMIC/HIC collaborations is rapidly increasing. We found that UMIC/HIC collaborations decreased the homophily of topic focus in WACS publications, indicating that global collaborations need to have greater emphasis on the priorities of those in LICs and LMICs.
