    Abstract Objective: Recent research has highlighted the potentially deleterious effects of anti-obesity public health campaigns on vulnerable audiences such as those at risk of, or diagnosed with, eating disorders (ED). The qualitative experiences of campaigns in this population group have been little explored.
    Methods: Twelve interviews were conducted with participants either currently or previously diagnosed with an ED using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach. Participants were shown a series of real-world public health campaigns and, using a semi-structured interview guide, asked about their responses to the images used.
    Results: Several themes emerged from the data, including the effect of campaigns on participants, perceived effect on others, and general campaign attributes. It was evident that participants felt that anti-obesity campaigns had the potential to confirm ED thoughts and behaviours, and could act as potential triggers. Participants also felt that they could impact vulnerable groups (e.g., young audiences) and stigmatise those living in larger bodies.
    Conclusion: Campaigns addressing overweight and obesity should consider reframing these conditions and care must be taken to avoid causing potential harm to vulnerable audiences.

    Abstract The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has transformed the treatment of advanced-stage cutaneous melanoma; however, most trials did not include patients with conjunctival melanoma. Herein the authors describe a patient with recurrent conjunctival melanoma who developed locally advanced, b-raf and v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1-negative melanoma in her nasal cavity and extensive, metabolically active, bilateral lymphadenopathy in her thorax. Her nasal mass measured 4.3 × 1.7 cm and was determined to be unresectable. She was treated with 4 cycles of combination ipilimumab and nivolumab therapy followed by maintenance nivolumab. She experienced a dramatic treatment response with a reduction in the size of her nasal mass to 3.0 × 1.1 cm and a complete resolution of her adenopathy. She then underwent complete surgical resection of her residual mass (approximately 75% of her original tumor size) and remains melanoma-free at 1 year of follow-up. Given the underlying genetic similarities of conjunctival melanoma to cutaneous melanoma, providers should consider the use of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with locally advanced or limited metastatic disease.

    Abstract Classic studies of medical education have examined how professional socialization reproduces the prevailing professional culture, as well as how students actively negotiate their place in educational processes. However, sociological research has not re-examined student culture in light of structural transformations in medical education, such as the introduction of new assessment types and their use as modes of commensuration. In this paper, we examine data from two studies of online forums where medical trainees and applicants to medical school discuss their experiences preparing for tests of professional skills, including judgment, empathy, and communication. Examining how medical students talk about these tests on such forums allows us to understand the meaning-making processes at work as students negotiate the commensuration processes such tests enable. We examine how these negotiations take place in online forums, where participants confront common challenges, form common perspectives, and share common solutions, all hallmarks of student culture. Through qualitative analysis, we find that online communities are spaces where students grapple with these new forms of commensuration, interrogate the standards and quantifications that underlie them, and collectively negotiate how to approach these assessments. Using the case of online forum communities, our findings advance past work on student culture in medical sociology by theorizing student culture as an extra-organizational phenomenon that spans multiple career stages. In so doing, we highlight the importance of online forum data for studying social processes.

    Abstract When performing a maternal transport between two facilities, numerous pieces of information must be communicated between physicians, nurses, and transport personnel, including the health status of 2 patients (mother and fetus), availability of bed space and personnel in 2 units at the receiving facility (labor and delivery unit and neonatal intensive care unit), arrangements for transportation, and inpatient and outpatient records. The amount and complexity of information creates a risk of medical error due to communication lapses. A cognitive aid such as a standardized form can help the team prepare for a transfer and provide a consistent framework for a handoff briefing among healthcare professionals. SMFM presents a sample briefing form to ensure that key elements are communicated for every maternal transport. Practical suggestions are given to help facilities customize the form and implement it on their units.

    Abstract: Largemouth bass (LMB; ~15.2 g initial weight) was fed one of the five experimental, and a fishmeal (FM)/fish oil (FO) control diet and two commercial (Xinxin, Coppens) LMB feeds for 10 weeks. Fish were dispersed into 24, 110‐L aquaria (n = 20/tank) ... ...

    Abstract Largemouth bass (LMB; ~15.2 g initial weight) was fed one of the five experimental, and a fishmeal (FM)/fish oil (FO) control diet and two commercial (Xinxin, Coppens) LMB feeds for 10 weeks. Fish were dispersed into 24, 110‐L aquaria (n = 20/tank) configured as a recirculating system. Aquaria were arbitrarily allocated to dietary treatments in triplicate (n = 60/fish diet). The FM component of experimental diets was replaced using poultry by‐product meal and soy protein concentrate. One experimental diet contained FO, whereas in others, FO was replaced with canola, flax and/or algal oil or combinations thereof. At trial end, there were no differences among fish‐fed various diets in terms of feed conversion or protein efficiency ratios. Weight gain and survival were similar for experimental groups, and LMB fed the Xinxin commercial feed, but the Coppens feed returned inferior (p < 0.05) weights and higher mortality. Condition factor, fillet yield and intraperitoneal fat ratios were unaffected by diet but hepatosomatic index varied. The Coppens feed caused greatest differences in whole‐body protein, lipid and ash contents (p < 0.001). Whole‐body fatty acid profiles reflected those of the diet, with algal oil enriched feed illustrating enhanced DHA:EPA ratios.

    Abstract Dermatologists often diagnose or rule out early melanoma by evaluating the follow-up dermoscopic images of skin lesions. However, existing algorithms for early melanoma diagnosis are developed using single time-point images of lesions. Ignoring the temporal, morphological changes of lesions can lead to misdiagnosis in borderline cases. In this study, we propose a framework for automated early melanoma diagnosis using sequential dermoscopic images. To this end, we construct our method in three steps. First, we align sequential dermoscopic images of skin lesions using estimated Euclidean transformations, extract the lesion growth region by computing image differences among the consecutive images, and then propose a spatio-temporal network to capture the dermoscopic changes from aligned lesion images and the corresponding difference images. Finally, we develop an early diagnosis module to compute probability scores of malignancy for lesion images over time. We collected 179 serial dermoscopic imaging data from 122 patients to verify our method. Extensive experiments show that the proposed model outperforms other commonly used sequence models. We also compared the diagnostic results of our model with those of seven experienced dermatologists and five registrars. Our model achieved higher diagnostic accuracy than clinicians (63.69% vs. 54.33%, respectively) and provided an earlier diagnosis of melanoma (60.7% vs. 32.7% of melanoma correctly diagnosed on the first follow-up images). These results demonstrate that our model can be used to identify melanocytic lesions that are at high-risk of malignant transformation earlier in the disease process and thereby redefine what is possible in the early detection of melanoma.

    Abstract Background/objectives: Sequential digital dermoscopic imaging (SDDI) and total body photography (TBP) are recommended as a two-step surveillance method for individuals at high-risk of developing cutaneous melanoma. Dermoscopic features specific to melanoma have been well described, however, dynamic changes on serial imaging are less understood. This study aims to identify and compare dermoscopic features in developing melanomas and benign naevi that underwent SDDI and TBP to understand which dermoscopic features may be associated with a malignant change.
    Method: Histopathology reports from a private specialist dermatology clinic from January 2007 to December 2019 were reviewed. Histopathologically confirmed melanoma and benign naevi that underwent SDDI and TBP with a minimum follow-up interval of 3 months were included.
    Results: Eighty-nine melanomas (38.2% invasive, median Breslow thickness 0.35 mm, range: 0.2-1.45 mm) and 48 benign naevi were evaluated by three experienced dermatologists for dermoscopic changes. Features most strongly associated with melanoma included the development of neovascularisation, asymmetry and growth in pigment network, additional colours, shiny white structures, regression, structureless areas and change to a multi-component pattern. The presence of atypical vessels (p = 0.02) and shiny white structures (p = 0.02) were significantly associated with invasive melanoma.
    Conclusion: Evaluation for certain evolving dermoscopic features in melanocytic lesions monitored by SDDI and TBP is efficient in assisting clinical decision making. SDDI with TBP is an effective tool for early detection of melanoma.

    Abstract Background: We assessed variability of analgesic use across three tertiary neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) accounting for early-life pain, quantified as number of invasive procedures. We also determined whether analgesia exposure modifies associations between early-life pain and neurodevelopment.
    Methods: Multicenter prospective study of 276 very preterm infants (born <24-32 weeks' gestational age [GA]). Detailed data of number of invasive procedures and duration of analgesia exposure were collected in initial weeks after birth. Eighteen-month neurodevelopmental assessments were completed in 215 children with Bayley Scales for Infant Development-Third edition.
    Results: Multivariable linear regressions revealed significant differences in morphine use across sites, for a given exposure to early-life pain (interaction p < 0.001). Associations between early-life pain and motor scores differed by duration of morphine exposure (interaction p = 0.01); greater early-life pain was associated with poorer motor scores in infants with no or long (>7 days) exposure, but not short exposure (≤7 days).
    Conclusions: Striking cross-site differences in morphine exposure in very preterm infants are observed even when accounting for early-life pain. Negative associations between greater early-life pain and adverse motor outcomes were attenuated in infants with short morphine exposure. These findings emphasize the need for further studies of optimal analgesic approaches in preterm infants.
    Impact: In very preterm neonates, both early-life exposure to pain and analgesia are associated with adverse neurodevelopment and altered brain maturation, with no clear guidelines for neonatal pain management in this population. We found significant cross-site variability in morphine use across three tertiary neonatal intensive care units in Canada. Morphine use modified associations between early-life pain and motor outcomes. In infants with no or long durations of morphine exposure, greater early-life pain was associated with lower motor scores, this relationship was attenuated in those with short morphine exposure. Further trials of optimal treatment approaches with morphine in preterm infants are warranted.
