    Abstract Background: Patient outcomes were assessed 2 years after treatment with the Optilume BPH Catheter System, a minimally invasive surgical therapy for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
    Methods: One-hundred forty-eight adult males with symptomatic BPH were enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 fashion to Optilume BPH or Sham (100 Optilume BPH; 48 Sham). Long-term measures include International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), Post-Void Residual Urine (PVR), quality of life measures and sexual function. Follow-up beyond one year was limited to those treated with Optilume BPH.
    Results: At 2 years, 67.5% (56/83 CI 56.3%, 77.4%) of participants in the Optilume BPH arm were symptomatic responders as defined by ≥30% improvement in IPSS without medical or surgical retreatment. IPSS significantly improved from 23.4 ± 5.5 (n = 100) to 11.0 ± 7.0 (n = 74). Qmax improved by 116.8.% (8.9 ± 2.2 (n = 97) to 19.0 ± 16.3 (n = 65)), while PVR showed a slight reduction (83.7 ± 70.3 (n = 99) to 65.9 ± 74.5 (n = 65)). Improvement in uroflowmetry measures was consistent across all prostate volumes. BPH-II improved from 7.0 ± 2.9 (n = 98) to 2.3 ± 2.5 at 1 year (n = 89) and remained consistent at 2.3 ± 2.9 at the 2-years (n = 74), representing a 53.9% improvement. IPSS QoL also improved from 4.6 ± 1.3 (n = 100) at baseline to 2.2 ± 1.5 (n = 74). The most common adverse events reported in the Optilume BPH arm were hematuria and urinary tract infection (UTI). No device and/or treatment related serious adverse events were reported occurring beyond 12 months post-procedure. There was no impact to sexual function.
    Conclusions: In the PINNACLE study, participants treated with the Optilume BPH Catheter System demonstrated continued and durable results at 2 years, affirming tolerability, safety, and the enduring effectiveness. The Optilume BPH Catheter System provides lasting results that are comparable to the more invasive therapies, while preserving the advantages with being a minimally invasive therapy.

    Abstract Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), which denotes conversion of gastric mucosa into an intestinal phenotype, can occur in all regions of the stomach, including cardiac, fundic, and pyloric mucosa. Since the earliest description of GIM, its association with gastric cancer of the differentiated (intestinal) type has been a well-recognized concern. Many epidemiologic studies have confirmed GIM to be significantly associated with subsequent gastric cancer development. Helicobacter pylori, the principal etiologic factor for gastric cancer, plays the most important role in predisposing to GIM. Although the role of GIM in the stepwise progression model of gastric carcinogenesis (the so-called "Correa cascade") has come into question recently, we review the scientific evidence that strongly supports this long-standing model and propose a new progression model that builds on the Correa cascade. Eradication of H pylori is the most important method for preventing gastric cancer globally, but the effect of eradication on established GIM, is limited, if any. Endoscopic surveillance for GIM may, therefore, be necessary, especially when there is extensive corpus GIM. Recent advances in image-enhanced endoscopy with integrated artificial intelligence have facilitated the identification of GIM and neoplastic lesions, which will impact preventive strategies in the near future.

    Abstract The burden of otolaryngology disease in Pacific Islander populations is relatively uncharacterized. A single-institution retrospective review was undertaken at the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation in Saipan, the only hospital in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Demographic, diagnostic, and treatment data were compiled from the clinical charts of all patients seen by an otolaryngologist between January 2015 and April 2020. For all Pacific Islanders in the sample (N=674), the average age was 40.2 (SD 22.4) years and ages ranged from 10 months to 89 years. Patients were 50.7% male and 49.3% female. The most common diagnoses affected the ear (40.8%), followed by the oral cavity/pharynx (23.2%), and nose (14.0%). Middle ear disease comprised 41.7% of reported ear disorders; the most common problem was otitis media (19.4%, n=68) followed by tympanic membrane perforation (14.0%, n=49). Head and neck cancers comprised 8.6% of all diagnoses. Most (77.8%) malignant neoplasms were oral cavity carcinomas. The average age at diagnosis for oral cancer was 46.6 years with a 1.8:1 male-to-female predominance. Patients with cancer of the oral cavity (n=56) chewed betel nut at higher rates (94.6%) compared with other adults in the sample (P<.001). Adult patients reported alcohol use, smoking, and chewing betel quid at rates of 26.5%, 39.9%, and 52.2% respectively. Otolaryngology referrals among Pacific Islanders in this sample were dominated by ear disease and included betel nut-related oral cavity disease.

    Abstract Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance among Helicobacter pylori strains has been rising globally, leading to declining eradication rates. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the resistance patterns of H. pylori strains in the United States between 2011 and 2021.
    Methods: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases were searched for manuscripts and conference abstracts published between 2011 and 2021 reporting H. pylori antibiotic resistance. A mixed-effects model estimated pooled rates of resistance to clarithromycin, amoxicillin, metronidazole, tetracycline, rifabutin, levofloxacin, or a combination of these, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
    Results: A total of 19 studies including 2,660 samples, met inclusion criteria. The pooled rate of resistance to metronidazole was 42.1% (95% CI 27.3%-58.6%), levofloxacin 37.6% (95% CI 26.3%-50.4%), clarithromycin 31.5% (95% CI 23.6%-40.6%), amoxicillin 2.6% (95% CI 1.4%-5.0%), tetracycline 0.87% (95% CI 0.2%-3.8%), rifabutin 0.17% (95% CI 0.00%-10.9%), and dual clarithromycin and metronidazole 11.7% (95% CI 0.1%-94.0%). Considerable data heterogeneity was evident for pooled resistance prevalence rates (I 2 > 50%), with the exception of rifabutin resistance.
    Discussion: Metronidazole, levofloxacin, and clarithromycin resistance rates each exceed 30%; thus, choosing an empiric antibiotic regimen without knowledge of the likely pattern of antibiotic resistance is not appropriate. Resistance to tetracycline, rifabutin, and amoxicillin remains low. Given the scarcity of available data with considerable heterogeneity among studies, continued surveillance, ideally with a more systematic approach to data collection, is an increasingly important goal in H. pylori management.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the effects of pre- and per-cooling interventions on subsequent 15-min time-trial (TT) cycling performance in the heat.
    Design: Randomized cross-over design.
    Methods: Nine male athletes completed four experimental trials in the heat (40 °C, 50% rh): no-cooling (CON); warm-up per-cooling (PER: neck-cooling collar applied during the preload); pre-cooling (PRE: 30 min of cold water (22 °C) immersion [CWI]); and pre- and per-cooling combined (PRE + PER). In each trial, participants completed a 45-min preload exercise (50% V̇O
    Results: T
    Conclusions: Pre-cooling induced thermoregulatory benefits for ~45 min and perceptual benefits for the same duration when supplemented with per-cooling. Neck per-cooling offered no such benefits when used in isolation. Neither pre- nor per-cooling, in isolation or combination, improved subsequent 15-min cycling time-trial performance in well-trained participants in the heat (40 °C).

    Abstract Cancer patients have an increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes and were recommended to be vaccinated, wear a mask, practice social distancing, and increase hand hygiene. We used the Health Belief Model (HBM) to identify constructs that were associated with the likelihood of adhering to and advocating for CDC COVID-19 prevention recommendations. We surveyed adult cancer patients who had an onsite appointment at the Penn State Cancer Institute or at the Hematology and Oncology Associates of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Survey measures included adherence to and informing others of COVID-19 recommendations as well as HBM constructs. Relationships between HBM constructs and outcomes were assessed with Spearman's correlation and multivariable ordinal logistic regression. Of the 106 participants who completed the survey for our objectives of interest, 76% always wore a mask, 29% always practiced social distancing, and 24% washed their hands at least 10 times a day. Limited advocacy behaviors were captured for the COVID-19 vaccine (30%), social distancing (36%), and wearing masks (27%). Perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues-to-action were positively associated with the likelihood of adherence or advocacy of COVID-19 recommendations among cancer patients, whereas perceived susceptibility and self-efficacy were negatively associated with the likelihood of adherence or advocacy of COVID-19 recommendations among cancer patients. Perceived benefits may be the strongest predictor for adherence and advocacy for specific COVID-19 guidelines. Future messaging and educational campaigns focused on improving adherence to or advocacy of specific health behaviors should be informed by the HBM and originate from multiple outlets.
