    Abstract Polygenic risk scores (PRS) estimate an individual's genetic risk for a disease or trait compared to a matched population. For many rheumatic diseases PRS have been developed that have discriminatory capacity better than some widely used biomarkers, and in some cases are the most discriminatory tests available. These PRS assessments do not rely on the disease being present or its activity level, making them highly valuable for predicting disease development or enabling early diagnosis. However, most PRS to date have been developed in research settings, and in populations of European-ancestry. Further studies are required to assess their utility in clinical settings, in relation to existing tests, and in non-European populations. Such studies are underway, and it is likely in the near future these tests will become widely available, with significant benefits for the practice of medicine.

    Title variant Perioperative Pain
    Author's details Matthew Brown, Katherin Peperzak
    Abstract The importance of effective and safe pain management in the perioperative period has never been greater. The populations clinicians serve are rapidly changing and, when considered in combination with socioeconomic issues, it is clear that the challenges of providing a high-quality perioperative experience are extensive. Fast Facts: Perioperative Pain provides a succinct and accessible guide to the practice of perioperative pain management, covering the complete surgical journey from the preoperative assessment phase through to postoperative management, including persistent postsurgical pain. Packed with detailed figures and illustrations, this valuable resource is suitable for all multidisciplinary team members who encounter surgical patients in pain during the course of their work. Table of Contents: • Pain mechanisms • Preoperative phase • Diagnosis and assessment • Multimodal strategies • Systemic therapies • Non-systemic therapies • Non-pharmacological management • Specific management strategies • Persistent postsurgical pain • Substance use disorder

    Abstract In the PDAC tumor microenvironment, multiple factors initiate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that occurs heterogeneously among transformed ductal cells, but it is unclear if different drivers promote EMT through common or distinct signaling pathways. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify the transcriptional basis for EMT in pancreas cancer cells in response to hypoxia or EMT-inducing growth factors. Using clustering and gene set enrichment analysis, we find EMT gene expression patterns that are unique to the hypoxia or growth factor conditions or that are common between them. Among the inferences from the analysis, we find that the FAT1 cell adhesion protein is enriched in epithelial cells and suppresses EMT. Further, the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL is preferentially expressed in hypoxic mesenchymal cells in a manner correlating with YAP nuclear localization, which is suppressed by FAT1 expression. AXL inhibition prevents EMT in response to hypoxia but not growth factors. Relationships between FAT1 or AXL expression with EMT were confirmed through analysis of patient tumor scRNA-seq data. Further exploration of inferences from this unique dataset will reveal additional microenvironment context-specific signaling pathways for EMT that may represent novel drug targets for PDAC combination therapies.

    Abstract The axoneme, a microtubule-based array at the center of every cilium, has been the subject of structural investigations for decades, but only recent advances in cryo-EM and cryo-ET have allowed a molecular-level interpretation of the entire complex to be achieved. The unique properties of the nine doublet microtubules and central pair of singlet microtubules that form the axoneme, including the highly decorated tubulin lattice and the docking of massive axonemal complexes, provide opportunities and challenges for sample preparation, 3D reconstruction and atomic modeling. Here, the approaches used for cryo-EM and cryo-ET of axonemes are reviewed, while highlighting the unique opportunities provided by the latest generation of AI-guided tools that are transforming structural biology.

    Abstract An 8 mm diameter, image-guided, annular array histotripsy transducer was fabricated and characterized. The array was laser etched on a 5 MHz, 1-3 dice and fill, PZT-5H/epoxy composite with a 45 % volume fraction. Flexible PCBs were used to electrically connect to the array elements using wirebonds. The array was backed with a low acoustic impedance epoxy mixture. A 3.6 by 3.8 mm, 64-element, 30 MHz phased array imaging probe was positioned in the center hole, to co-align the imaging plane with the bubble cloud produced by the therapy array. A custom 16-channel high voltage pulse generator was used to test the annular array for focal lengths ranging from 3- to 8-mm. An aluminum lens-focussed transducer with a 7 mm focal length was fabricated using the same piezocomposite and backing material and tested along with the histotripsy array. Simulated results from COMSOL FEM models were compared to measured results for low voltage characterization of the array and lens-focussed transducer. The measured transmit sensitivity of the array ranged from 0.113 to 0.167 MPa/V, while the lens-focussed transducer was 0.192 MPa/V. Simulated values were 0.160 to 0.174 MPa/V and 0.169 MPa/V, respectively. The measured acoustic fields showed a significantly increased depth-of-field compared the lens-focussed transducer, while the beamwidths of the array focus were comparable to the lens. The measured cavitation voltage in water was between 254 V and 498 V depending on the focal length, and 336 V for the lens-focussed transducer. The array had a lower cavitation voltage than the lens-focussed transducer for a comparable operating depth. The histotripsy array was tested in a tissue phantom and an in vivo rat brain. It was used to produce an elongated lesion in the brain by electronically steering the focal length from 3- to 8-mm axially. Real time ultrasound imaging with a Doppler overlay was used to target the tissue and monitor ablation progress, and histology confirmed the targeted tissue was fully homogenized.
