    Abstract Colorectal cancer remains the third most common malignancy in Australia with the peritoneum being the second most common metastatic site. Colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CPC) can be treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy but this is only limited to a small subset of patients. Those with inoperable disease have a particularly poor prognosis. While the ideal systemic regimen has not been defined, 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy regimens appear to provide overall and progression free survival benefits. The role of targeted agents such as bevacizumab (vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor) or cetuximab (epidermal growth factor inhibitor) in the setting of CPC is still evolving. Currently, retrospective analyses have shown promising results for the use of bevacizumab in addition to systemic chemotherapy but similar results have not been seen with cetuximab or panitumumab. However, there is significant heterogeneity in the trial data, lack of prospective randomized controlled trials and demonstrated treatment variability based on age and tumour characteristics. This review summarises the current literature in regard to treatment in the unresectable CPC setting as well as discussing issues with the current data and highlighting the need for further trials.

    Abstract Objective: To examine clinical correlates and prevalence of food selectivity (FS) - ie, self-restricted diet, reluctance to try new foods - in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ascertained from a general outpatient autism clinic.
    Study design: A multidisciplinary team (pediatric nurse practitioner, psychologist and dietitian) assessed medical and psychosocial histories and dietary habits in 103 children with ASD (mean age = 5.8 ± 2.2 years; range 2-10). Parents rated child mealtime behavior on the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI) and disruptive behavior on the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC). Height and weight measurements were collected. Children were classified as FS or no FS based on parent reported intake and mealtime behavior. A 24-hour dietary recall was used to record intake percentages < 80%. Logistic regression and multivariable modeling were used to evaluate clinical correlates with FS.
    Results: Of 103 children, 45.6% (n = 47) were classified as FS; 54.4% (n = 56) no FS. After adjusting for potential confounders, the odds of FS increased by 1.91 (95% CI: 1.38, 2.64, P < .001) for every half-SD increase in BAMBI total score and by 1.35 (95% CI: 1.05, 1.74, P = .020) for every half-SD increase in ABC Hyperactivity/Noncompliance. No group differences in anthropometrics or nutritional intake were identified.
    Conclusions: Food selectivity (FS) in children with ASD was strongly associated with greater severity of disruptive mealtime and hyperactivity/noncompliance behaviors. FS was not associated with anthropometrics or nutritional intake.

    Abstract Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-limiting side effect of cytotoxic cancer treatment, often necessitating dose reduction (DR) or chemotherapy discontinuation (CD). Studies on peripheral neuropathy related to chemotherapy, obesity, and diabetes have implicated lipid metabolism. This study examined the association between circulating lipids and CIPN.
    Methods: Lipidomic analysis was performed on plasma samples from 137 patients receiving taxane-based treatment. CIPN was graded using Total Neuropathy Score-clinical version (TNSc) and patient-reported outcome measure European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-CIPN (EORTC-QLQ-CIPN20).
    Results: A significant proportion of elevated baseline lipids were associated with high-grade CIPN defined by TNSc and EORTC-QLQ-CIPN20 including triacylglycerols (TGs). Multivariable Cox regression on lipid species, adjusting for BMI, age, and diabetes, showed several elevated baseline TG associated with shorter time to DR/CD. Latent class analysis identified two baseline lipid profiles with differences in risk of CIPN (hazard ratio, 2.80 [95% CI, 1.50 to 5.23];
    Conclusion: Elevated baseline plasma TG is associated with an increased risk of CIPN development and warrants further validation in other cohorts. Ultimately, this may enable therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are considered to contribute to diminished brain reserve, negatively impacting on stroke recovery. While WMH identified in the chronic phase after stroke have been associated with post-stroke aphasia, the contribution of premorbid WMH to the early recovery of language across production and comprehension has not been investigated.
    Objective: To investigate the relationship between premorbid WMH severity and longitudinal comprehension and production outcomes in aphasia, after controlling for stroke lesion variables.
    Methods: Longitudinal behavioral data from individuals with a left-hemisphere stroke were included at the early subacute (n = 37) and chronic (n = 28) stage. Spoken language comprehension and production abilities were assessed at both timepoints using word and sentence-level tasks. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed at the early subacute stage to derive stroke lesion variables (volume and proportion damage to critical regions) and WMH severity rating.
    Results: The presence of severe WMH explained an additional 18% and 25% variance in early subacute (
    Conclusions: Subacute clinical MRI can be used to improve prognoses of recovery of aphasia after stroke. We demonstrate that severe early subacute WMH add to the prediction of impaired longitudinal language recovery in comprehension, but not production. This emphasizes the need to consider different domains of language when investigating novel neurobiological predictors of aphasia recovery.

    Abstract Surgical resection of brain tumours is associated with an increased risk of aphasia. However, relatively little is known about outcomes in the chronic phase (i.e., >6 months). Using voxel-based lesion symptom mapping (VLSM) in 46 patients, we investigated whether chronic language impairments are related to the location of surgical resection, residual tumour characteristics (e.g., peri-resection treatment effects, progressive infiltration, oedema) or both. Approximately 72% of patients scored below the cut-off for aphasia. Action naming and spoken sentence comprehension deficits were associated with lesions in the left anterior temporal and inferior parietal lobes, respectively. Voxel-wise analyses revealed significant associations between ventral language pathways and action naming deficits. Reading impairments were also associated with increasing disconnection of cerebellar pathways. The results indicate chronic post-surgical aphasias reflect a combination of resected tissue and tumour infiltration of language-related white matter tracts, implicating progressive disconnection as the critical mechanism of impairment.

    Abstract Poststroke aphasia typically results from brain damage to the left-lateralized language network. The contribution of the right-lateralized homologues in aphasia recovery remains equivocal. In this longitudinal observational study, we specifically investigated the role of right hemisphere structural connectome in aphasia recovery. Twenty-two patients with aphasia after a left hemispheric stroke underwent comprehensive language assessment at the early subacute and chronic stages. A novel structural connectometry approach, using multi-shell diffusion-weighted MRI data collected at the early subacute stage, was used to evaluate the relationship between right hemisphere white matter connectome and language production and comprehension abilities at early subacute stage. Moreover, we evaluated the relationship between early subacute right hemisphere white matter connectome and longitudinal change in language production and comprehension abilities. All results were corrected for multiple comparisons. Connectometry analyses revealed negative associations between early subacute stage right hemisphere structural connectivity and language production, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally (p

    Abstract Background: Elevated circulating growth differentiation factor (GDF15/MIC-1), interleukin 4 (IL4), and IL6 levels were associated with resistance to docetaxel in an exploratory cohort of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study aimed to establish level 2 evidence of cytokine biomarker utility in mCRPC.
    Methods: IntVal: Plasma samples at baseline (BL) and Day 21 docetaxel (n = 120). ExtVal: Serum samples at BL and Day 42 of docetaxel (n = 430). IL4, IL6, and GDF15 levels were measured by ELISA. Monocytes and dendritic cells were treated with 10% plasma from men with high or low GDF15 or recombinant GDF15.
    Results: IntVal: Higher GDF15 levels at BL and Day 21 were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) (BL; p = 0.03 and Day 21; p = 0.004). IL4 and IL6 were not associated with outcomes. ExtVal: Higher GDF15 levels at BL and Day 42 predicted shorter OS (BL; p < 0.0001 and Day 42; p < 0.0001). Plasma from men with high GDF15 caused an increase in CD86 expression on monocytes (p = 0.03), but was not replicated by recombinant GDF15.
    Conclusions: Elevated circulating GDF15 is associated with poor prognosis in men with mCRPC receiving docetaxel and may be a marker of changes in the innate immune system in response to docetaxel resistance. These findings provide a strong rationale to consider GDF15 as a biomarker to guide a therapeutic trial of drugs targeting the innate immune system in combination with docetaxel in mCRPC.

    Abstract In this study, we examined how school policies and strategies (i.e., positive discipline, hardening strategies, and positive behavioral strategies) affect teacher relational factors and teacher reports of victimization and safety. Specifically, we examined the mediational roles of teacher support of student learning, maltreatment of students by teachers, and teachers' differential treatment of students in schools. Using a sample of 6643 pre-K-12th-grade teachers, path analysis results revealed that positive behavior strategies, hardening strategies, and positive discipline were indirectly associated with teacher victimization and sense of safety. Additionally, teachers' perceptions of other teachers maltreating students had the greatest contributions to their sense of safety and victimization by students. Positive discipline was directly and indirectly associated with teacher victimization and safety. Implications and directions for future studies are discussed.

    Abstract As demand for germline genetic testing for cancer patients increases, novel methods of genetic counseling are required. One such method is the mainstream consent pathway, whereby a member of the oncology team (rather than a genetic specialist) is responsible for counseling, consenting, and arranging genetic testing for cancer patients. We systematically reviewed the literature for evidence evaluating mainstream pathways for patients with breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies that met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Article references were checked for additional studies. Trial databases were searched for ongoing studies. Of the 13 papers that met inclusion criteria, 11 individual study groups were identified (two study groups had two publications each). Ten of the 11 studies evaluated the acceptability, feasibility, and impact of BRCA testing for patients and/or clinicians in different clinical settings in breast and ovarian cancer, while the final study explored the attitudes of colorectal specialists toward genetic testing for colorectal cancer. None involved prostate cancer. Overall, mainstream pathways were acceptable and feasible. Medical oncologist- and nurse-driven pathways were particularly successful, with both patients and clinicians satisfied with this process. Although the content of pretest counseling was less consistent compared with counseling via the traditional model, patients were largely satisfied with the education they received. Further research is required to evaluate the mainstream pathway for men with prostate cancer.

    Abstract Background: Vaccine hesitancy (VH) and the global decline of vaccine coverage are a major global health threat, and novel approaches for increasing vaccine confidence and uptake are urgently needed. 'Nudging', defined as altering the environmental context in which a decision is made or a certain behaviour is enacted, has shown promising results in several health promotion strategies. We present a comprehensive synthesis of evidence regarding the value and impact of nudges to address VH.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic review to determine if nudging can mitigate VH and improve vaccine uptake. Our search strategy used Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and non-MeSH terms to identify articles related to nudging and vaccination in nine research databases. 15 177 titles were extracted and assessed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The final list of included articles was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations framework.
    Findings: Identified interventions are presented according to a framework for behaviour change, MINDSPACE. Articles (n=48) from 10 primarily high-income countries were included in the review. Nudging-based interventions identified include using reminders and recall, changing the way information is framed and delivered to an intended audience, changing the messenger delivering information, invoking social norms and emotional affect (eg, through storytelling, dramatic narratives and graphical presentations), and offering incentives or changing defaults. The most promising evidence exists for nudges that offer incentives to parents and healthcare workers, that make information more salient or that use trusted messengers to deliver information. The effectiveness of nudging interventions and the direction of the effect varies substantially by context. Evidence for some approaches is mixed, highlighting a need for further research, including how successful interventions can be adapted across settings.
    Conclusion: Nudging-based interventions show potential to increase vaccine confidence and uptake, but further evidence is needed for the development of clear recommendations. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic increases the urgency of undertaking nudging-focused research.
