    Abstract Artificial intelligence- (AI) and machine learning (ML)-based applications are becoming increasingly pervasive in the healthcare setting. This has in turn challenged clinicians, hospital administrators, and health policymakers to understand such technologies and develop frameworks for safe and sustained clinical implementation. Within cardiac anesthesiology, challenges and opportunities for AI/ML to support patient care are presented by the vast amounts of electronic health data, which are collected rapidly, interpreted, and acted upon within the periprocedural area. To address such challenges and opportunities, in this article, the authors review 3 recent applications relevant to cardiac anesthesiology, including depth of anesthesia monitoring, operating room resource optimization, and transthoracic/transesophageal echocardiography, as conceptual examples to explore strengths and limitations of AI/ML within healthcare, and characterize this evolving landscape. Through reviewing such applications, the authors introduce basic AI/ML concepts and methodologies, as well as practical considerations and ethical concerns for initiating and maintaining safe clinical implementation of AI/ML-based algorithms for cardiac anesthesia patient care.

    Abstract Background: In the BROCADE3 study, the addition of veliparib to carboplatin plus paclitaxel resulted in a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared with placebo plus carboplatin and paclitaxel, in patients with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2)-mutated, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer. We now report final overall survival (OS) data.
    Methods: BROCADE3 is a randomized phase 3 study that enrolled patients with BRCA1/2-mutated, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who received ≤ 2 prior lines of chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients were randomized 2:1 to carboplatin and paclitaxel, dosed with either veliparib or matching placebo. OS was a secondary endpoint.
    Results: In the intention-to-treat population (N = 509), 337 patients were randomized to receive veliparib and 172 to placebo. Median OS was 32.4 months vs 28.2 months (hazard ratio, 0.916; 95% CI, 0.736-1.140; P = .434). The updated safety data for veliparib are consistent with those reported in the primary analysis; the addition of veliparib was generally well tolerated.
    Conclusions: Final OS data indicate that the PFS improvement shown in the primary analysis did not translate into an OS benefit. The long survival times observed in both arms suggest that combination therapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin provides clinical benefit in the population of patients with BRCA1/2-mutated metastatic breast cancer.

    Abstract We investigated the frequency and serological correlates of occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) and the potential impact of a highly sensitive assay for HBsAg in subjects infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), who are also at risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, often in an occult form. Samples from 499 patients with HIV, all HBsAg negative and anti-HBc positive, and 137 patients with HCV were tested for HBV-DNA, anti-HBc, anti-HBs, and HBsAg by a conventional and highly sensitive assay. HBV biomarkers were detected in 71.5% of HCV-RNA-positive, with a higher prevalence of cases positive only for anti-HBc in patients with HCV than in those with HIV. HBV-DNA was detectable in 0.6% of HIV-positive and 7.3% of HCV-RNA-positive patients. Among patients with HCV, four were positive for HBsAg and negative for HBV-DNA, bringing the rate of HBV-active infection in this group to 10.2%. Active HBV infection was not related to gender or specific patterns of HBV biomarkers but was higher in HCV patients coinfected by HIV compared to those infected only by HCV. Monitoring patients at high risk for HBV infection and reactivation may require testing for both HBV-DNA and HBsAg.

    Abstract Introduction: Sacroiliac joint disease is a prominent diagnosis across the world. A novel fixation technique employing a posterior approach, single point, bone allograft transfixation has proven to be helpful anecdotally. The purpose of this is study is to investigate prospectively the safety and efficacy of this approach.
    Methods: A multicenter, prospective, single arm study was performed after patient identification and treatment with the novel posterior fusion, single-point transfixation system and followed for 24 months. Target enrollment is 100 patients. Interim results on the first 69 consecutive patients at 6 months is presented. Primary endpoint at 6-month analysis was Pain Intensity reduction by visual analogue scale and functional improvement by Oswestry Disability Index. Adverse events were assessed for safety analysis.
    Results: In total, 69 patients were identified for this analysis. At 6 months, a mean improvement of 34.9 was identified by a reduction in VAS and functional improvement was demonstrated by a mean reduction in ODI of 17.7. There were three adverse events, all unrelated to the device.
    Conclusion: The posterior single point transfixation is safe and efficacious for the treatment of sacroiliac joint dysfunction with statistical improvements in pain and function.

    Abstract Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause of disability worldwide; multiple causes and risk factors have been proposed in the genesis of back pain. Some studies reported an association between diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), a surrogate for decreased core strength muscle, and low back pain. We aimed to investigate the relationship between DRA and LBP through a systematic review.
    Methods: A systematic review of the literature of clinical studies in English literature was conducted. PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases were used to conduct the search up to January 2022. The strategy included the following keywords: "Lower Back Pain" AND "Diastasis Recti" OR "Rectus abdominis" OR "abdominal wall" OR "paraspinal musculature".
    Results: From 207 records initially found, 34 were suitable for full review. Thirteen studies were finally included in this review, with a total of 2,820 patients. Five studies found a positive association between DRA and LBP (5 of 13 = 38.5%) whereas 8 studies did not find any association between DRA and LBP (8 of 13 = 61.5%).
    Conclusions: Of the studies included in this systematic review, 61.5% did not find an association between DRA and LBP whereas a positive correlation was observed in 38.5% of studies included. Based on the quality of the studies included in our review, better studies are warranted to understand the association between DRA and LBP.

    Abstract As obligate intracellular parasites with limited coding capacity, RNA viruses rely on host cells to complete their multiplication cycle. Viral RNAs (vRNAs) are central to infection. They carry all the necessary information for a virus to synthesize its proteins, replicate and spread and could also play essential non-coding roles. Regardless of its origin or tropism, vRNA has by definition evolved in the presence of host RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs), which resulted in intricate and complicated interactions with these factors. While on one hand some host RBPs recognize vRNA as non-self and mobilize host antiviral defenses, vRNA must also co-opt other host RBPs to promote viral infection. Focusing on pathogenic RNA viruses, we will review important scenarios of RBP-vRNA interactions during which host RBPs recognize, modify or degrade vRNAs. We will then focus on how vRNA hijacks the largest ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) in the cell, the ribosome, to selectively promote the synthesis of its proteins. We will finally reflect on how novel technologies are helping in deepening our understanding of vRNA-host RBPs interactions, which can be ultimately leveraged to combat everlasting viral threats.

    Abstract The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is profoundly affected by high intensity exercise. However, evidence is less clear on ANS recovery and function following prolonged bouts of high intensity exercise, especially in non-endurance athletes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationships between duration and intensity of acute exercise training sessions and ANS recovery and function in Division I football athletes. Fifty, male football athletes were included in this study. Subjects participated in 135 days of exercise training sessions throughout the 25-week season and wore armband monitors (Warfighter Monitor, Tiger Tech Solutions) equipped with electrocardiography capabilities. Intensity was measured via heart rate (HR) during an 'active state', defined as HR ≥ 85 bpm. Further, data-driven intensity thresholds were used and included HR < 140 bpm, HR < 150 bpm, HR < 160 bpm, HR ≥ 140 bpm, HR ≥ 150 bpm and HR ≥ 160 bpm. Baseline HR and HR recovery were measured and represented ANS recovery and function 24h post-exercise. Linear regression models assessed the relationships between time spent at the identified intensity thresholds and ANS recovery and function 24h post-exercise. Statistical significance set at α < 0.05. Athletes participated in 128 training sessions, totaling 2735 data points analyzed. Subjects were predominantly non-Hispanic black (66.0%), aged 21.2 (±1.5) years and average body mass index of 29.2 (4.7) kg⋅(m
