    Abstract Active surveillance for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a component of our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) infection prevention efforts. Recent atypical trends prompted review of 42 suspected MRSA isolates. Species identification was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and methicillin resistance was reevaluated by PBP2a lateral flow assay, cefoxitin/oxacillin susceptibility testing,

    Abstract The survival of Ewing's sarcoma (ES) has improved due to advances in both local and systemic therapy. This has given rise to an increased detection of second malignant neoplasms which can be in the form of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The most common hematological malignancies are acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is relatively uncommon in occurrence in this setting. Furthermore, the average refractory period for hematological malignancies varies from 3 to 5 years. We report a case of a young female who developed ALL while on adjuvant therapy for ES.

    Abstract (1) Background: Barrett’s esophagus is a major risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma. In this pilot study, we employed precision mass spectrometry to map global (phospho)protein perturbations in Barrett’s esophagus lesions and adjacent normal tissue to glean insights into disease progression. (2) Methods: Biopsies were collected from two small but independent cohorts. Comparative analyses were performed between Barrett’s esophagus samples and adjacent matched (normal) tissues from patients with known pathology, while specimens from healthy patients served as additional controls. (3) Results: We identified and quantified 6810 proteins and 6395 phosphosites in the discovery cohort, revealing hundreds of statistically significant differences in protein abundances and phosphorylation states. We identified a robust proteomic signature that accurately classified the disease status of samples from the independent patient cohorts. Pathway-level analysis of the phosphoproteomic profiles revealed the dysregulation of specific cellular processes, including DNA repair, in Barrett’s esophagus relative to paired controls. Comparative analysis with previously published transcriptomic profiles provided independent evidence in support of these preliminary findings. (4) Conclusions: This pilot study establishes the feasibility of using unbiased quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify molecular perturbations associated with disease progression in Barrett’s esophagus to define potentially clinically actionable targets warranting further assessment.

    Abstract Background: Although depression is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), it is unknown whether this risk varies across depressive disorder subtypes. Thus, we investigated atypical major depressive disorder (MDD) and double depression as predictors of new-onset CVD in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults.
    Methods: Prospective data from 28,726 adults initially free of CVD who participated in Wave 1 (2001-2002) and Wave 2 (2004-2005) of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) were examined. Lifetime depressive disorder subtypes (Wave 1) and incident CVD (Wave 2) were determined by structured interviews.
    Results: We identified 1,116 incident CVD cases. In demographics adjusted models, the atypical MDD group had a higher odds of incident CVD than the no depression history (OR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.71-2.81, P < .001), dysthymic disorder only (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.08-2.39, P = .019), and nonatypical MDD (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.11-1.91, P = .006) groups. Likewise, the double depression group had a higher odds of incident CVD than the no depression history (OR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.92-2.45, P < .001), dysthymic disorder only (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.16-2.19, P = .004), and MDD only (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.20-1.77, P < .001) groups. Relationships were similar but attenuated after adjustment for CVD risk factors and anxiety disorders.
    Conclusions: Adults with atypical MDD or double depression may be subgroups of the depressed population at particularly high risk of new-onset CVD. Thus, these subgroups may (a) be driving the overall depression-CVD relationship and (b) be in need of earlier and/or more intense CVD primary prevention efforts to reduce their excess CVD burden.

    Abstract Introduction/Aim: Intrathecal therapy (IT) is accepted as an effective way of treating chronic or cancer pain. The Polyanalgesic Consensus Conference (PACC, 2017) guidelines provide recommendations for: patient selection; assessment and psychological considerations; medication selection and starting doses; and educational requirements for implanting and managing IT. This study examined the PACC recommendations regarding IT delivery and evaluated if these recommendations are being followed in a tertiary chronic pain setting. Method: This study utilized a retrospective chart audit. A checklist was created using the PACC guideline consensus points to assess for compliance with the recommendations. Results: Charts from patients (n = 8 eligible; n = 7 with consent) were reviewed in the clinic. The majority of PACC recommendations were met. Patients had a diagnosis of either palliative cancer pain (n = 2) or a chronic non-cancer pain (n = 5) including failed back syndrome (n = 4), and radicular extremity pain (n = 1). There were 5 different drug combinations administered to patients: morphine + bupivacaine (n = 2); hydromorphone (n = 2); morphine (n = 1); baclofen + morphine (n = 1); baclofen + bupivacaine (n = 1). Patients’ original opioids were weaned after the 1st year of IT. Psychological screening was only conducted for the cancer patients. All health care professionals who refilled pumps had the appropriate training and all programming was conducted using an independent double check. Discussion/Conclusions: Chronic non-cancer pain was the main reason for IT delivery at our clinic. Although the majority of PACC recommendations were met there is room for improvement, for example psychological screening is not routinely done but should be considered for current and future patients.

    Abstract Evidence from the existing literature suggests that exercise has positive effects for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases by reducing risk factors such as elevated blood lipids. Based on clinical and observational clinical trials, it is well established that increased physical activity and regular exercise has a favourable impact on blood lipids and lipoprotein profiles. Exercise training significantly decreases blood triglycerides concentration and increases high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Though the Indian data depicting the effect of exercise on lipids is scarce, exercise directly improves "atherogenic dyslipidaemia" which is frequently present among Indians i.e. HDL-C is increased, TG is reduced and LDL-C particle size is improved. While drug therapy is key to the treatment of dyslipidaemia, lifestyle alterations such as exercise should continue to be actively promoted and encouraged by clinicians. Exercise is a low cost, non pharmacological therapeutic lifestyle change that is of value to lipid metabolism and cardiovascular fitness.

    Abstract Familial hypercholesterolemia is a common genetic disorder of autosomal inheritance associated with elevated LDL-cholesterol. It is estimated to affect 1:250 individuals in general population roughly estimated to be 5 million in India. The prevalence of FH is higher in young CAD patients (<55 years in men; <60 years in women). FH is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Screening during childhood and Cascade screening of family members of known FH patients is of utmost importance in order to prevent the burden of CAD. Early identification of FH patients and early initiation of the lifelong lipid lowering therapy is the most effective strategy for managing FH. FH management includes pharmaceutical agents (statins and non statin drugs) and lifestyle modification. Inspite of maximum dose of statin with or without Ezetimibe, if target levels of LDL-C are not achieved, Bempedoic acid, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) Inhibitors/Inclisiran can be added.

    Abstract Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is rare and clinically very aggressive T-cell lymphoma. The majority of cases harbor γδ T-cell receptors (TCRs); however, in some even rarer cases, tumor cells harbor αβ TCR. Recent studies suggest that αβ cases may have distinct morphological characteristics and demonstrate an even more aggressive course. In this case report, we demonstrated that in line with previous findings, αβ case of HSTCL had hemolytic presentation, demonstrated a very aggressive clinical course, and was unrelated to immunosuppression. Morphologically, tumor cells demonstrated diffuse growth pattern, blastoid morphology, and were CD8
