    Abstract Anticytokine autoantibodies are an emerging mechanism of disease in previously healthy adults. Patients with these syndromes demonstrate a unique infectious phenotype associated with neutralizing autoantibodies that target a specific cytokine. Examples include anti-interferon (IFN)-γ autoantibodies and disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria; anti-granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor autoantibodies and cryptococcal meningitis; anti-interleukin (IL)-6 autoantibodies and staphylococcal skin infection; and anti-IL-17A, anti-IL-17F, or anti-IL-22 autoantibodies and mucocutaneous candidiasis in the setting of either APECED (autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidiasis, ectodermal dystrophy syndrome) or thymoma. Other anticytokine autoantibodies may contribute to an infectious phenotype such as anti-granulocyte colony stimulating factor and anti-IFN-α autoantibodies, although the strength of the association is less clear. Their identification not only affects disease management but also may uncover key mechanisms of host defense against specific organisms. Furthermore, it raises the possibility that currently idiopathic diseases will someday be explained by a yet unidentified anticytokine autoantibody. This review focuses on the current understanding, both clinical and mechanistic, of anticytokine autoantibody-associated immunodeficiency.

    Abstract Background: Recent advances in hardware and software permit the use of cardiac MRI of late gestation fetuses, however there is a paucity of MRI-based reference values.
    Purpose: To provide initial data on fetal cardiac MRI-derived cardiac dimensions, volumes, ventricular function, and left ventricular longitudinal strain in healthy developing fetuses >30 weeks gestational age.
    Study type: Prospective.
    Population: Twenty-five third trimester (34 ± 1 weeks, range of 32-37 weeks gestation) women with healthy developing fetuses.
    Field strength/sequence: Studies were performed at 1.5 T and 3 T. Cardiac synchronization was achieved with a Doppler ultrasound device. The protocol included T2 single shot turbo spin echo stacks for fetal weight and ultrasound probe positioning, and multiplanar multi-slice cine balanced steady state free precession gradient echo sequences.
    Assessment: Primary analyses were performed by a single observer. Weight indexed right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) volumes and function were calculated from short axis (SAX) stacks. Cardiac dimensions were calculated from the four-chamber and SAX stacks. Single plane LV longitudinal strain was calculated from the four-chamber stack. Interobserver variability was assessed in 10 participants. Cardiac MRI values were compared against available published normative fetal echocardiogram data using z-scores.
    Statistical tests: Mean and SDs were calculated for baseline maternal/fetal demographics, cardiac dimensions, volumes, ventricular function, and left ventricular longitudinal strain. Bland-Altman and intraclass correlation coefficient analysis was performed to test interobserver variability.
    Results: The mean gestational age was 34 ± 1.4 weeks. The mean RV and LV end diastolic volumes were 3.1 ± 0.6 mL/kg and 2.4 ± 0.5 mL/kg respectively. The mean RV cardiac output was 198 ± 49 mL/min/kg while the mean LV cardiac output was 173 ± 43 mL/min/kg.
    Data conclusion: This paper reports initial reference values obtained by cardiac MRI in healthy developing third trimester fetuses. MRI generally resulted in slightly larger indexed values (by z-score) compared to reports in literature using fetal echocardiography.
    Evidence level: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

  5. Article ; Online: The Southern Health system's Community Health Council: establishment and processes to engage with communities, whānau and patients.

    Abstract Aims: This paper aims to: describe steps to establish the Southern Health system's Community Health Council (CHC) and its associated advisors; discuss support for the CHC, advisors and staff; and reflect on engagement activities, what has worked well, and opportunities for development.
    Method: Prompts for establishing the CHC came from the Health Quality & Safety Commission and previous commissioners of the Southern District Health Board (SDHB). Following support from the Iwi Governance Committee and SDHB and WellSouth Primary Health Organisation (PHO) chief executives and their leadership teams, advertisements called for people interested in joining the CHC. After group interviews, the CHC was established in 2017.
    Results: It became evident that an 11 member CHC could not support all requests for engagement throughout the Southern Health system. Consequently, the CHC developed a framework for engagement, a large team of CHC advisors, and a Roadmap to support engagement activities.
    Conclusions: The CHC has supported over 120 CHC members and advisors working on over 95 engagement projects throughout the Southern Health system. It is hoped that the processes described will be useful to the establishment of robust community, whānau and patient forums intended to sit at the centre of Aotearoa New Zealand's restructured health system.

    Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), is a common cause of serious acute lower respiratory tract illness in infants and young children, causing substantial morbidity and mortality globally. Treatment is mainly supportive and currently there is no licensed preventive vaccine. Clinical trials conducted in the 1960s evaluating a formalin-inactivated RSV vaccine (FI-RSV) in RSV-naïve infants resulted in observations of enhanced respiratory disease (ERD) following subsequent natural RSV infection in vaccinees. In these studies, infants immunized with FI-RSV had higher rates of severe RSV disease compared with controls. This outcome redirected focus on identifying the immunologic mechanisms that precipitated ERD as a prerequisite to further vaccine development. Improved understanding of the immunopathogenesis of ERD derived from animal models has stimulated development of new candidate vaccines and engendered discussions among RSV experts about the safety data needed to advance these products into the clinic, and ultimately, into the target population of RSV-naïve infants. The recognition that multiple products would soon be ready for testing in infants and children prompted the FDA to hold a Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) meeting to seek perspectives and advice of experts regarding the types and extent of preclinical and clinical data that might be needed to support testing in RSV-naïve infants for specific types of candidate RSV vaccines. Committee members agreed that, if certain conditions are met in preclinical and early clinical studies, it would be reasonable to move forward from studies in adults and older children and into clinical trials evaluating vaccine safety and efficacy in RSV-naïve infants. Herein, we review and summarize perspectives on the discussion regarding recommendations for RSV vaccine development in this population.
