    Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in children of <5 years of age worldwide, infecting the majority of infants in their first year of life. Despite the widespread impact of this virus, no vaccine is currently available. For more than 50 years, live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) have been shown to protect against other childhood viral infections, offering the advantage of presenting all viral proteins to the immune system for stimulation of both B and T cell responses and memory. The RSV LAV candidate described here, rgRSV-L(G1857A)-G(L208A), contains two modifications: an attenuating mutation in the

    Abstract Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine whether ultrasound-measured jugular venous pressure (U-JVP) could accurately estimate central venous pressure (CVP).
    Methods: This prospective, diagnostic, single-centre study was performed at the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit of the Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, UK. Post-cardiac surgery patients were recruited from January to May 2019. The investigators were blinded to the central venous pressure when measuring the jugular venous pressure. U-JVP and direct CVP were measured simultaneously. Measurements were taken whilst the patient was ventilated and then repeated when the patient was extubated, providing non-ventilated readings.
    Results: One-hundred and fourteen consecutive participants with a male predominance of 71% and mean age of 65 ± 12 years were included in the analysis. Bland-Altman plots revealed that U-JVP marginally overestimated CVP by 0.91 mmHg (95% limits of agreement were -2.936 to 4.754) in ventilated patients and by 0.11 mmHg (95% limits of agreement between -2.481 and 2.695) in non-ventilated patients. Reasonable sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound-measured jugular venous pressure was achieved for low and high central venous pressure in both ventilated and non-ventilated patients.
    Conclusion: U-JVP accurately estimates cardiac filling pressure and fluid status in patients after cardiac surgery, irrespective of their ventilatory status. Jugular venous pressure measurement by insonation is a reliable technique that can be taught to medical students and other health professionals to non-invasively estimate central venous pressure and may be useful for assessment of volaemic status in patients with heart failure.

    Abstract Background: Patients with diabetes undergoing CABG are at risk of wound infection. Incisional negative pressure wound therapy has been shown to be effective in decreasing incidence of infection in high-risk wounds. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used to assess wound oxygenation and low values can predict infection.
    Objectives: To evaluate utility of NIRS to assess wound oxygenation, to assess effect of sternotomy, left internal thoracic artery harvest, and wound dressing type on wound edge oxygenation.
    Methods: In this blinded randomized control trial, patients with diabetes undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting with a left internal thoracic artery were randomized to receive either incisional negative pressure wound therapy dressing or a standard dressing. NIRS measurements were made on the left upper arm (control), and left and right parasternal regions on day -1 (preoperative), day 5, and week 6 after surgery. Results were analyzed using repeated measures parametric methods.
    Results: Eighty patients with diabetes were recruited, 40 to the incisional negative pressure wound therapy group and 40 to the standard dressing group. Adjusted NIRS readings dropped significantly in all patients by day 5 and partially recovered by week 6. In both groups, there was no difference between readings on the left and right. At all time points and on both sides, there was no difference in readings between patients in the 2 groups.
    Conclusions: NIRS can be used to assess oxygenation adjacent to a sternotomy wound. Adjusted tissue oxygen levels change with time after sternotomy and left internal thoracic artery harvest in patients with diabetes. Wound dressing type does not influence day 5 wound edge oxygenation.

    Abstract As the availability of weather-dependent, zero marginal cost resources such as wind and solar power increases, a variety of flexible electricity loads, or `demand sinks', could be deployed to use intermittently available low-cost electricity to produce valuable outputs. This study provides a general framework to evaluate any potential demand sink technology and understand its viability to be deployed cost-effectively in low-carbon power systems. We use an electricity system optimization model to assess 98 discrete combinations of capital costs and output values that collectively span the range of feasible characteristics of potential demand sink technologies. We find that candidates like hydrogen electrolysis, direct air capture, and flexible electric heating can all achieve significant installed capacity (>10% of system peak load) if lower capital costs are reached in the future. Demand sink technologies significantly increase installed wind and solar capacity while not significantly affecting battery storage, firm generating capacity, or the average cost of electricity.

    Abstract Aims: Migraine is the most common disabling headache disorder and is characterized by recurrent throbbing head pain and symptoms of photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and vomiting. Rimegepant 75 mg, an oral lyophilisate calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist, is the first treatment approved for both the acute and preventative treatment of migraine, and the first acute therapy approved in over 20-years. The objective was to assess the cost-utility of rimegepant compared with best supportive care (BSC) in the UK, for the acute treatment of migraine in the adults with inadequate symptom relief after taking at least 2 triptans, or for whom triptans are contraindicated or not tolerated.
    Materials and methods: A
    Results: Rimegepant resulted in an incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) of £10,309 per QALY gained vs BSC, which is cost-effectiveness at a willingness to pay threshold of £30,000/QALY. Rimegepant generated +0.44 incremental QALYs and higher incremental lifetime costs (£4,492). Improved QALYs for rimegepant were a result of less time spent with severe and moderate headache pain.
    Conclusion: This study highlights the economic value of rimegepant which was found to be cost-effective for the acute treatment of migraine in adults unsuitable for triptans.

    Abstract Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides a flexible framework for supporting a wide variety of learners. We report here on a conference that presented the UDL framework as a way to increase success of deaf and hard-of-hearing (deaf/hh) students in introductory biology courses. The Opening the Pathway conference was an NSF Advanced Technological Education project focusing on raising awareness about careers in biotechnology and student success in introductory biology, a key gateway course for careers in biotechnology. The participants were professionals who work with deaf/hh students at pivotal points in students' educational pathways for raising awareness of biotechnology career options, including community college faculty, high school faculty at schools for the deaf, and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters. The conference goal was to provide an effective, meaningful professional development experience in biology instruction. The conference explicitly addressed the role of a UDL approach in building accessible, inclusive, productive learning environments, particularly for deaf/hh students, and demonstrated how to make effective pedagogical practices, specifically case-based learning, inclusive and UDL-aligned in an introductory biology context. We describe the conference, conference outcomes for participants, and in particular the application of the UDL framework to create an inclusive experience.
