    Abstract Background: Nasal valve dysfunction (NVD) is a substantial contributor to nasal airway obstruction. Minimally-invasive temp-erature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) treatment of the nasal valve is available and comparison with surgical techniques is warranted.
    Methodology: Databases: Medline (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library.
    Population: adults with preprocedural nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) score ≥45. Treatment effects were derived from a random effects model and reported as weighted mean difference in NOSE score between baseline; 3, 6, and 12 months postprocedure.
    Results: Of 2529 initial articles, 5 studies describing TCRF treatment and 63 studies describing functional rhinoplasty were included. Pooled effect sizes for TCRF treatment and functional rhinoplasty were comparable in all analyses.
    Conclusions: TCRF treatment of the internal nasal valve for NVD was associated with sustained effects comparable to functional rhinoplasty addressing the nasal valve only, rhinoplasty without concomitant turbinate treatment, and all rhinoplasty.

    Abstract Understanding the causes of the arrest of species distributions has been a fundamental question in ecology and evolution. These questions are of particular interest for trees owing to their long lifespan and sessile nature. A surge in data availability evokes a macro-ecological analysis to determine the underlying forces limiting distributions. Here we analyse the spatial distribution of >3,600 major tree species to determine geographical areas of range-edge hotspots and find drivers for their arrest. We confirmed biome edges to be strong delineators of distributions. Importantly, we identified a stronger contribution of temperate than tropical biomes to range edges, adding strength to the notion that tropical areas are centres of radiation. We subsequently identified a strong association of range-edge hotspots with steep spatial climatic gradients. We linked spatial and temporal homogeneity and high potential evapotranspiration in the tropics as the strongest predictors of this phenomenon. We propose that the poleward migration of species in light of climate change might be hindered because of steep climatic gradients.

    Abstract Aims: We present 7 years of clinical experience with single-agent pembrolizumab immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) from four UK cancer centres.
    Materials and methods: This multi-institutional retrospective cohort study included 226 metastatic NSCLC patients. Outcomes were number and severity of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS).
    Results: Within our cohort, 119/226 (53%) patients developed irAEs. Of these, 54/119 (45%) experienced irAEs affecting two or more organ systems. The most common irAEs were diarrhoea and rash. The development of an irAE was associated with better mOS (20.7 versus 8.0 months; P < 0.001) and mPFS (12.0 versus 3.9 months; P < 0.001). The development of grade 3/4 toxicities was associated with worse outcomes compared with the development of grade 1/2 toxicities (mOS 6.1 months versus 25.2 months, P < 0.01; mPFS 5.6 months versus 19.3 months, P = 0.01, respectively). Females had a higher proportion of reported grade 3/4 toxicities (13/44 [29.5%] versus 10/74 [13.5%], P = 0.03). Using a multiple Cox regression model, the presence of irAEs was associated with a better overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.29-0.61; P < 0.01) and better PFS (hazard ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.27-0.53; P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: In this multicentre retrospective cohort study, the development of at least one irAE was associated with significantly longer mPFS and mOS; however, more severe grade 3 and 4 irAEs were associated with worse outcomes. Delayed-onset irAEs, after the 3-month timepoint, were associated with better clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Effective, unbiased, high-throughput methods to functionally identify both class II and class I HLA-presented T cell epitopes and their cognate T cell receptors (TCRs) are essential for and prerequisite to diagnostic and therapeutic applications, yet remain underdeveloped. Here, we present T-FINDER [T cell Functional Identification and (Neo)-antigen Discovery of Epitopes and Receptors], a system to rapidly deconvolute CD4 and CD8 TCRs and targets physiologically processed and presented by an individual's unmanipulated, complete human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype. Combining a highly sensitive TCR signaling reporter with an antigen processing system to overcome previously undescribed limitations to target expression, T-FINDER both robustly identifies unknown peptide:HLA ligands from antigen libraries and rapidly screens and functionally validates the specificity of large TCR libraries against known or predicted targets. To demonstrate its capabilities, we apply the platform to multiple TCR-based applications, including diffuse midline glioma, celiac disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, providing unique biological insights and showcasing T-FINDER's potency and versatility.

    Abstract The HostSeq initiative recruited 10,059 Canadians infected with SARS-CoV-2 between March 2020 and March 2023, obtained clinical information on their disease experience and whole genome sequenced (WGS) their DNA. We analyzed the WGS data for genetic contributors to severe COVID-19 (considering 3,499 hospitalized cases and 4,975 non-hospitalized after quality control). We investigated the evidence for replication of loci reported by the International Host Genetics Initiative (HGI); analyzed the X chromosome; conducted rare variant gene-based analysis and polygenic risk score testing. Population stratification was adjusted for using meta-analysis across ancestry groups. We replicated two loci identified by the HGI for COVID-19 severity: the LZTFL1/SLC6A20 locus on chromosome 3 and the FOXP4 locus on chromosome 6 (the latter with a variant significant at P < 5E-8). We found novel significant associations with MRAS and WDR89 in gene-based analyses, and constructed a polygenic risk score that explained 1.01% of the variance in severe COVID-19. This study provides independent evidence confirming the robustness of previously identified COVID-19 severity loci by the HGI and identifies novel genes for further investigation.

    Abstract Objectives: Demonstrate an understanding of incobotulinumtoxinA efficacy in the treatment of adductor spasmodic dysphonia (SD). Understand that incobotulinumtoxinA can successfully be used as an alternative to onabotulinumtoxinA and for secondary non-responders.
    Methods: We conducted a prospective open-label trial from 2016 until 2019 regarding the use of incobotulinimtoxinA for the treatment of adductor spasmodic dysphonia. Exclusion criteria included pregnant/nursing women, botulinum toxin for other indications, known allergy, neuromuscular or systemic diseases, use of aminoglycoside antibiotics, substance abuse, litigation regarding prior therapy, or other confounding conditions. Sixty-four injection sessions with completed with sixteen patients who were enrolled in the study and underwent EMG-guided incobotulinumtoxinA injections to the thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle using a hollow monopolar Teflon-coated needle via a trans-cricothyroid membrane approach. Dosages to each TA muscle were recorded and patients completed a Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10), a validated worksheet regarding their perceived percent of normal function (PNF) following treatment, and a side effect profile. Outcomes were analyzed using the paired t-test.
    Results: For primary transitioners to incobotulinimtoxinA, VHI-10 scores and best percent normal function did not significantly change. For non-responders, VHI-10 decreased from 32.5 on Botox to 19.5 on incobotulinimtoxinA and best PNF increased from 37.6 to 90 %, which was statistically significant. Transient side effects included breathiness.
    Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that incobotulinimtoxinA may be used successfully for adductor SD either as first line treatment or in secondary non-responders to onabotulinumtoxinA.

    Abstract Phenotypic plasticity enables rapid responses to environmental change, and could facilitate range shifts in response to climate change. What drives the evolution of plasticity at range edges, and the capacity of range-edge individuals to be plastic, remain unclear. Here, we propose that accurately predicting when plasticity itself evolves or mediates adaptive evolution at expanding range edges requires integrating knowledge on the demography and evolution of edge populations. Our synthesis shows that: (i) the demography of edge populations can amplify or attenuate responses to selection for plasticity through diverse pathways, and (ii) demographic effects on plasticity are modified by the stability of range edges. Our spatially explicit synthesis for plasticity has the potential to improve predictions for range shifts with climate change.
