    Abstract Purpose: Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor with the highest incidence occurring in older adults with a median age at diagnosis of 64 years old. While treatment often improves survival it brings toxicities and adverse events (AE). Here we identify sex differences in treatment patterns and AE in individuals ≥ 66 years at diagnosis with GB.
    Methods: Using the SEER-Medicare dataset sex differences in adverse events were assessed using multivariable logistic regression performed to calculate the male/female odds ratio (M/F OR) and 95% confidence intervals [95% CI] of experiencing an AE adjusted for demographic variables and Elixhauser comorbidity score.
    Results: Males with GB were more likely to receive standard of care (SOC; Surgery with concurrent radio-chemotherapy) [20%] compared to females [17%], whereas females were more likely to receive no treatment [26%] compared to males [21%]. Females with GB receiving SOC were more likely to develop gastrointestinal disorders (M/F OR = 0.76; 95% CI,0.64-0.91, p = 0.002) or blood and lymphatic system disorders (M/F OR = 0.79; 95% CI,0.66-0.95, p = 0.012). Males with GB receiving SOC were more likely to develop cardiac disorders (M/F OR = 1.21; 95% CI,1.02-1.44, p = 0.029) and renal disorders (M/F OR = 1.65; 95% CI,1.37-2.01, p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Sex differences for individuals, 66 years and older, diagnosed with GB exist in treatment received and adverse events developed across different treatment modalities.

    Abstract Background: Prescribers have an increasing range of inhaled antimicrobial formulations to choose from when prescribing both eradication and chronic suppression regimens in cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aimed to investigate the decision-making process behind prescribing of inhaled antimicrobials for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.
    Methods: A questionnaire was developed using Microsoft Forms and then forwarded to 57 Principal Investigators (PIs), at each of the CF centres within the European Cystic Fibrosis Society-Clinical Trials Network (ECFS-CTN). Data collection occurred between November 2021 and February 2022.
    Results: The response rate was 90 % (n = 51/57 PIs), with at least 50 % of CF centers in each of the 17 countries represented in the ECFS-CTN. Physicians used a median of eight factors in their decision-making process with delivery formulations (92.2 %), adherence history (84.3 %), and antibiotic side-effect profile (76.5 %) often selected. Nebulised tobramycin or colistin were frequently selected as the inhaled antimicrobial in first-line eradication (n = 45, 88.2 %) and chronic suppression regimens (n = 42, 82.4 %). Combination regimens were more often chosen in eradication (first-line: n = 35, 68.6 %, second-line: n = 34, 66.7 %) and later chronic suppression regimens (third-line: n = 27, 52.9 %) than monotherapy. For pwCF also prescribed CFTR modulator therapies, most PIs did not alter inhaled antimicrobial regimens (n = 40, 78.4 %), with few pwCF (n = 18, 35.3 %) or PIs (n = 10, 19.6 %) deciding to stop inhaled antimicrobials.
    Conclusions: The inhaled antimicrobial prescribing decision-making process is multifactorial. Nebulised tobramycin or colistin are often used in initial eradication and chronic suppression regimens. To date, CFTR modulator therapy has had a limited impact on the prescribing of inhaled antimicrobial regimens.

    Abstract Background: Psyllium is a natural, predominantly soluble fiber that forms a viscous gel when hydrated and is not digested or fermented. In the small intestine, psyllium gel increases chyme viscosity, slowing the degradation and absorption of nutrients. Psyllium has a significant effect in patients with metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes on glycemic control, while lowering serum cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic patients. Some randomized controlled studies have shown that psyllium also facilitates weight loss in overweight and obese participants.
    Objectives: A comprehensive review and meta-analysis assessing psyllium's impact on body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference in overweight and obese participants.
    Data sources: A comprehensive search was performed (Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Database) through March 21, 2022, using search terms to identify randomized, controlled, clinical studies designed to assess weight loss in overweight and obese participants over at least 2 months. Data were analyzed using the inverse variance method with random effects models.
    Conclusions: Six studies meeting inclusion criteria were identified (total n = 354). The meta-analysis showed that psyllium, dosed just before meals (mean dose 10.8 g/day, mean duration 4.8 months), was effective for decreasing body weight (MD = -2.1 kg [95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.6 to -1.6]; p < .001), BMI (MD = -0.8 kg/m 2 [95% CI: -1.0 to -0.6]; p < .001) and waist circumference (MD = -2.2 cm [95% CI: -2.9 to -1.4]; p < .001) in overweight and obese populations.
    Implications for practice: Gel-forming nonfermented psyllium fiber, dosed just before meals, is effective in facilitating weight loss in overweight and obese participants.

    Abstract Background: Arginase 1 Deficiency (ARG1-D) is a rare debilitating, progressive, inherited, metabolic disease characterized by marked increases in plasma arginine (pArg) and its metabolites, with increased morbidity, substantial reductions in quality of life, and premature mortality. Effective treatments that can lower arginine and improve clinical outcomes is currently lacking. Pegzilarginase is a novel human arginase 1 enzyme therapy. The present trial aimed to demonstrate efficacy of pegzilarginase on pArg and key mobility outcomes.
    Methods: This Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial (clinicaltrials.govNCT03921541, EudraCT 2018-004837-34), randomized patients with ARG1-D 2:1 to intravenously/subcutaneously once-weekly pegzilarginase or placebo in conjunction with their individualized disease management. It was conducted in 7 countries; United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Austria, France, Germany, Italy. Primary endpoint was change from baseline in pArg after 24 weeks; key secondary endpoints were change from baseline at Week 24 in Gross Motor Function Measure part E (GMFM-E) and 2-min walk test (2MWT). Full Analysis Set was used for the analyses.
    Findings: From 01 May 2019 to 29 March 2021, 32 patients were enrolled and randomized (pegzilarginase, n = 21; placebo, n = 11). Pegzilarginase lowered geometric mean pArg from 354.0 μmol/L to 86.4 μmol/L at Week 24 vs 464.7 to 426.6 μmol/L for placebo (95% CI: -67.1%, -83.5%;
    Interpretation: These results support pegzilarginase as the first potential treatment to normalize pArg in ARG1-D and achieve clinically meaningful improvements in functional mobility.

    Abstract The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute, is the largest population-based registry focused exclusively on primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the United States (US) and represents the entire US population. This report contains the most up-to-date population-based data on primary brain tumors available and supersedes all previous CBTRUS reports in terms of completeness and accuracy. All rates are age-adjusted using the 2000 US standard population and presented per 100,000 population. The average annual age-adjusted incidence rate (AAAIR) of all malignant and non-malignant brain and other CNS tumors was 24.83 per 100,000 population (malignant AAAIR=6.94 and non-malignant AAAIR=17.88). This overall rate was higher in females compared to males (27.85 versus 21.62 per 100,000) and non-Hispanic persons compared to Hispanic persons (25.24 versus 22.61 per 100,000). Gliomas accounted for 26.3% of all tumors. The most commonly occurring malignant brain and other CNS histopathology was glioblastoma (14.2% of all tumors and 50.9% of all malignant tumors), and the most common predominantly non-malignant histopathology was meningioma (40.8% of all tumors and 56.2% of all non-malignant tumors). Glioblastomas were more common in males, and meningiomas were more common in females. In children and adolescents (ages 0-19 years), the incidence rate of all primary brain and other CNS tumors was 6.13 per 100,000 population. There were 86,030 deaths attributed to malignant brain and other CNS tumors between 2016 and 2020. This represents an average annual mortality rate of 4.42 per 100,000 population and an average of 17,206 deaths per year. The five-year relative survival rate following diagnosis of a malignant brain and other CNS tumor was 35.7%, for a non-malignant brain and other CNS tumor the five-year relative survival rate was 91.8%.
