    Abstract The result of a search for the decay B(c)(+) → B(s)(0) π+ is presented, using the B(s)(0) → D(s)(-)π+ and B(s)(0) → J/ψ Ø channels. The analysis is based on a data sample of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 fb(-1) taken at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and 2 fb(-1) taken at 8 TeV. The decay B(c)(+) → B(s)(0)π+ is observed with significance in excess of 5 standard deviations independently in both decay channels. The measured product of the ratio of cross sections and branching fraction is [σ(B(c)(+))/σ(B(s)(0))] × B(B(c)(+)→ B(s)(0)π+) = [2.37 ± 0.31 (stat)± 0.11 (syst)(-0.13)(+0.17)(τ(B)(c)(+)))] × 10(-3), in the pseudorapidity range 2<η(B)<5, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the uncertainty on the B(c)(+) lifetime. This is the first observation of a B meson decaying to another B meson via the weak interaction.

    Abstract Chemical or electrochemical reduction of the 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane (9S3) complexes [MII(9S3)2][BF4]2 (M = Re (3a) or Tc (3b)) results in instantaneous C-S bond cleavage to yield ethene and the stable MIII thiolate complexes [MIII(9S3)L][BF4] (M = Re (4a) or Tc (4b), L = SCH2CH2SCH2CH2S). Compounds 4 have been characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, and the pseudo-octahedral geometry of 4b has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Upon electrochemical reduction 4a loses ethene, while 4b can be reversibly reduced to [TcII(9S3)L], which is then further reduced to Tc(I) with loss of ethene. Successive ethene loss is observed in the mass spectra of compounds 3 and 4. The radiosynthesis of 4a with 188Re can be comfortably completed within 10 min starting with 188ReO4- from a 188W/188Re generator, with a radiochemical yield in excess of 90%, and thus represents a practical approach to the preparation of stable 188Re (and 99mTc) thioether complex derivatives/conjugates for clinical use. Crystal data: 4b, C10H20S6Tc, orthorhombic Pbca, a = 12.233(2) A, b = 14.341(2) A, c = 20.726(3) A, Z = 8.

    Abstract: ... smoking cessation counseling. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends one-time screening ...

    Abstract Atherosclerotic vascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid or intracranial arteries causes up to 15% of strokes. Peripheral artery disease affects up to one in five people in the United States who are 60 years and older and nearly one-half of those who are 85 years and older. Renal artery stenosis may affect up to 5% of people with isolated hypertension and up to 40% of people with other atherosclerotic diseases. All patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease should receive a comprehensive program of guideline-directed medical therapy, including structured physical activity and lifestyle modification, an antiplatelet agent, a statin, antihypertensive therapy, and smoking cessation counseling. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm with ultrasonography in men 65 to 75 years of age who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes, but screening is not recommended for carotid, peripheral, and renal disease. Surgical revascularization decreases adverse outcomes and mortality in selected patients with advanced vascular disease. Endovascular repair has become more common for patients younger than 70 years because of decreased short-term mortality. Carotid revascularization with carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting is recommended for symptomatic patients with greater than 50% internal carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting is preferred in patients with multiple comorbidities, tracheostomy, or previous neck radiation or dissection. In patients older than 70 years, carotid endarterectomy is associated with a lower risk of periprocedural stroke or death than carotid artery stenting. Revascularization is a reasonable treatment option for patients with lifestyle-limiting claudication and an inadequate response to guideline-directed therapies. Revascularization is indicated for patients with critical limb ischemia and is emergently indicated for acute limb ischemia. Renal artery revascularization offers no proven clinical benefit when added to optimal medical therapy.

    Abstract: ... by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). With the later ...

    Abstract Introduction/aims: In 2016, nusinersen became the first disease-modifying medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). With the later availability of risdiplam in 2020, individuals now have the option of switching from nusinersen to risdiplam. Limited published data exist to inform this decision. This study aims to evaluate the perceptions and experiences of adult participants and parents of minor participants who previously received nusinersen and switched to risdiplam for the treatment of SMA.
    Methods: Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was obtained from the Wake Forest IRB prior to the initiation of this study. A cross-sectional, observational study, with qualitative and quantitative data gathered via questionnaire and medical record review, was performed. Inclusion criteria included (1) prior diagnosis of SMA, (2) previous treatment with nusinersen, and (3) change to treatment with risdiplam. No participants were excluded based on age.
    Results: Fourteen participants-eight adults and six children-were enrolled in the study. Respondents noted improvements in physical function with each medication. Overall, respondents reported worse satisfaction with the method of delivery of the intrathecally delivered nusinersen compared to the orally-delivered risdiplam, but no respondent reported negative overall satisfaction with either medication. A majority (78.6%) of respondents reported that switching from nusinersen to risdiplam was the correct decision.
    Discussion: These results suggest that most patients are satisfied when switching from nusinersen to risdiplam, with the method of delivery being a primary factor.

    Abstract Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a well-characterized, iatrogenic complication of heparin anticoagulation with significant morbidity. In contrast, vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a recently recognized severe prothrombotic complication of adenoviral vaccines, including the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Vaxzevria, AstraZeneca) and Ad26.COV2.S (Janssen, Johnson & Johnson) vaccines against COVID-19. The diagnosis of HIT and VITT involve laboratory testing for antiplatelet antibodies by immunoassays followed by confirmation by functional assays to detect platelet-activating antibodies. Functional assays are critical to detect pathological antibodies due to the varying sensitivity and specificity of immunoassays. This chapter presents a protocol for a novel whole blood flow cytometry-based assay to detect procoagulant platelets in healthy donor blood in response to plasma from patients suspected of HIT or VITT. A method to identify suitable healthy donors for HIT and VITT testing is also described.

    Abstract Aims: Over the last decade there has been a rapid expansion of clinically actionable driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with an unprecedented number of corresponding targeted therapies approved and funded for use in the clinic. Here we summarise the approach taken in Wales to embed a NSCLC biomarker testing pathway within the National Optimal Pathway for Lung Cancer.
    Materials and methods: The Welsh Thoracic Oncology Group established a working group tasked with progressing the standardisation of genomic testing. In July 2021, the 10 lung cancer multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) were invited to take part in a national survey of current biomarker testing practices and a retrospective audit of the next generation sequencing (NGS) pathway in Wales was conducted.
    Results: Seventy per cent of MDTs completed the survey, which confirmed variability in the approach to testing with respect to timing of requests, patient selection and testing technologies used. Only 43% reported having pathology-initiated reflex testing, but 87% had adopted DNA and RNA NGS testing as their standard-of-care genomic testing strategy. Data from 53 patients with stage III-IV NSCLC with genomic testing requested between October 2020 and May 2021 were analysed in the NGS pathway audit. Forty (75.5%) patients had both DNA and RNA NGS requested, with a median turnaround time from biopsy to results of 26 days (range 19-37 days) and 25 days (range 16-38 days), respectively. The geographical location of MDT did not influence turnaround times and MDTs with reflex testing had shorter biopsy-to-result times. DNA NGS testing was successful in 51 (96.2%) patients; in those who had RNA NGS, testing was successful in 30 (75%) patients.
    Conclusion: Significant progress has been made within Wales to implement a national biomarker testing pathway, with reflex testing becoming standard of care. However, challenges remain in optimising the quantity and quality of tissue available for testing, together with a need to reduce turnaround times. This will need to be addressed to ensure all eligible patients are tested at the right time in the diagnostic pathway to facilitate optimal treatment strategies and ultimately improve outcomes.
