    Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an anticancer therapy with proven efficacy; however, its application is often limited by prolonged skin photosensitivity and solubility issues associated with the phototherapeutic agents. Injectable hydrogels which can effectively provide intratumoral delivery of photosensitizers with sustained release are attracting increased interest for photodynamic cancer therapies. However, most of the hydrogels for PDT applications are based on systems with high complexity, and often, preclinical validation is not provided. Herein, we provide a simple and reliable pH-sensitive hydrogel formulation that presents appropriate rheological properties for intratumoral injection. For this,

    Abstract Background: The mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic remain a public health concern. High quality synthesis of extensive global literature is needed to quantify this impact and identify factors associated with adverse outcomes.
    Methods: We conducted a rigorous umbrella review with meta-review and present (a) pooled prevalence of probable depression, anxiety, stress, psychological distress, and post-traumatic stress, (b) standardised mean difference in probable depression and anxiety pre-versus-during the pandemic period, and (c) comprehensive narrative synthesis of factors associated with poorer outcomes. Databases searched included Scopus, Embase, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE dated to March 2022. Eligibility criteria included systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses, published post-November 2019, reporting data in English on mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Findings: Three hundred and thirty-eight systematic reviews were included, 158 of which incorporated meta-analyses. Meta-review prevalence of anxiety symptoms ranged from 24.4% (95%CI: 18-31%,
    Conclusion: This is the first meta-review to synthesise the longitudinal mental health impacts of the pandemic. Findings show that probable depression and anxiety were significantly higher than pre-COVID-19, and provide some evidence that that adolescents, pregnant and postpartum people, and those hospitalised with COVID-19 experienced heightened adverse mental health. Policymakers can modify future pandemic responses accordingly to mitigate the impact of such measures on public mental health.

    Abstract Adopting preventive strategies in individuals with subclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) has the potential to delay dementia onset and reduce healthcare costs. Thus, it is extremely important to identify inexpensive, scalable, sensitive, and specific markers to track disease progression. The electroencephalography spectral power ratio (SPR: the fast to slow spectral power ratio), a measure of the shift in power distribution from higher to lower frequencies, holds potential for aiding clinical practice. The SPR is altered in patients with AD, correlates with cognitive functions, and can be easily implemented in clinical settings. However, whether the SPR is sensitive to pathophysiological changes in the prodromal stage of AD is unclear. We explored the SPR of individuals diagnosed with amyloid-positive amnestic mild cognitive impairment (Aβ+aMCI) and its association with both cognitive function and amyloid load. The SPR was lower in Aβ+aMCI than in the cognitively unimpaired individuals and correlated with executive function scores but not with amyloid load. Hypothesis-generating analyses suggested that aMCI participants with a lower SPR had an increased probability of a positive amyloid positron emission tomography. Future research may explore the potential of this measure to classify aMCI individuals according to their AD biomarker status.

    Abstract Objectives: Staging of upper extremity lymphedema is needed to guide surgical management, but is not standardized due to lack of accessible, quantitative, or precise measures. Here, we established an MRI-based staging system for lymphedema and validate it against existing clinical measures.
    Methods: Bilateral upper extremity MRI and lymphoscintigraphy were performed on 45 patients with unilateral secondary lymphedema, due to surgical intervention, who were referred to our multidisciplinary lymphedema clinic between March 2017 and October 2018. MRI short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) images were retrospectively reviewed. A grading system was established based on the cross-sectional circumferential extent of subcutaneous fluid infiltration at three locations, labeled MRI stage 0-3, and was compared to L-Dex®, ICG lymphography, volume, lymphedema quality of life (LYMQOL), International Society of Lymphology (ISL) stage, and lymphoscintigraphy. Linear weighted Cohen's kappa was calculated to compare MRI staging by two readers.
    Results: STIR images on MRI revealed a predictable pattern of fluid infiltration centered on the elbow and extending along the posterior aspect of the upper arm and the ulnar side of the forearm. Patients with higher MRI stage were more likely to be in ISL stage 2 (p = 0.002) or to demonstrate dermal backflow on lymphoscintigraphy (p = 0.0002). No correlation was found between MRI stages and LYMQOL. Higher MRI stage correlated with abnormal ICG lymphography pattern (r
    Conclusion: An MRI staging system for upper extremity lymphedema offers an improved non-invasive precision marker for lymphedema for therapeutic planning.
    Key points: • Diagnosis and staging of patients with secondary upper extremity lymphedema may be performed with non-contrast MRI, which is non-invasive and more readily accessible compared to lymphoscintigraphy and evaluation by lymphedema specialists. • MRI-based staging of secondary upper extremity lymphedema is highly reproducible and could be used for long-term follow-up of patients. • In patients with borderline clinical measurements, MRI can be used to identify patients with early-stage lymphedema.

    Abstract Expert representatives from 11 professional societies, as part of an autonomous work group, researched and developed appropriate use criteria (AUC) for lymphoscintigraphy in sentinel lymph node mapping and lymphedema. The complete findings and discussions of the work group, including example clinical scenarios, were published on October 8, 2022, and are available at https://www.snmmi.org/ClinicalPractice/content.aspx?ItemNumber=42021 The complete AUC document includes clinical scenarios for scintigraphy in patients with breast, cutaneous, and other cancers, as well as for mapping lymphatic flow in lymphedema. Pediatric considerations are addressed. These AUC are intended to assist health care practitioners considering lymphoscintigraphy. Presented here is a brief overview of the AUC, including the rationale and methodology behind development of the document. For detailed findings of the work group, the reader should refer to the complete AUC document online.

    Abstract Purpose: The tricipital, or Caplan's, lymphatic pathway has been previously identified in cadavers and described as a potential compensatory pathway for lymphatic drainage of the upper extremity, as it may drain lymphatic fluid directly to the scapular lymph nodes, avoiding the axillary lymph node groups. The aim of this study was to map the anatomy of the tricipital pathway in vivo in patients without lymphatic disease.
    Methods: A retrospective review was performed to identify patients with unilateral breast cancer undergoing preoperative Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography prior to axillary lymph node dissection from May 2021 through January 2022. Exclusion criteria were evidence or known history of upper extremity lymphedema or non-linear channels visualized on ICG. Demographic, oncologic, and ICG imaging data were extracted from a Lymphatic Surgery Database. The primary outcome of this study was the presence and absence of the tricipital pathway. The secondary outcome was major anatomical variations among those with a tricipital pathway.
    Results: Thirty patients underwent preoperative ICG lymphography in the study period. The tricipital pathway was visualized in the posterior upper arm in 90% of patients. In 63% of patients, the pathway had a functional connection to the forearm (long bundle variant) and in 27%, the pathway was isolated to the upper arm without a connection to the forearm (short bundle variant). In those with a long bundle, the contribution was predominantly from the posterior ulnar lymphosome. Anatomic destinations of the tricipital pathway included the deltotricipital groove and the medial upper arm channel, which drains to the axilla.
    Conclusion: When present, the tricipital pathway coursed along the posterior upper arm with variability in its connections to the forearm distally, and the torso proximally. Long-term follow-up studies will help determine the significance of these anatomic variations in terms of individual risk of lymphedema after axillary nodal dissection.

    Abstract We audited use of acute hospital beds in Connolly Hospital over a 3-month period (January-March 2020) which coincided with increased provision of step-down (nursing home) beds. Our results show both ineffective and inefficient baseline uses of these acute beds. Increased step-down beds improve patient care by reducing the trolley count, shortening average length of stay and reducing waiting lists. These data confirm that more step-down beds are a high priority for our Health Service to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our hospitals i.e. better care at less cost.
