    Abstract Background: We sought to longitudinally assess the efficacy of the patient-facing ASTHMAXcel mobile application in improving asthma knowledge and outcomes in adults with asthma.
    Methods: ASTHMAXcel is a novel smartphone application consistent with the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program, Global Initiative for Asthma, and British Thoracic Society/Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network guidelines. The intervention was provided for 1-time use at baseline only. The Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire (AKQ), the Asthma Control Test (ACT), and the mini-Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (mini-AQLQ) were administered at baseline and at 2, 4, and 6 months thereafter. Rates of asthma-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and prednisone use were also evaluated.
    Results: ACT scores increased significantly at 2, 4, and 6 months (mean scores: 15.1 vs 16.9,
    Conclusions: ASTHMAXcel contributes to improved asthma knowledge and outcomes and to decreased health care utilization. ASTHMAXcel is an inexpensive, scalable aid for out-patient asthma management.

    Abstract Aberrant expression of the oncogenic retrotransposon LINE-1 is a hallmark of various cancer types, including non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Here, we present proof-of-principle evidence that LINE-1 analytes in extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as tools for molecular diagnostics of NSCLC, with LINE-1 status in tumor cells and tissues mirroring the LINE-1 mRNA and ORF1p cargos of EVs from lung cancer cell culture conditioned media or human plasma. The levels of LINE-1 analytes in plasma EVs from ostensibly healthy individuals were higher in females than males. While the profiles of LINE-1 mRNA and ORF1p in African Americans compared to Hispanics were not significantly different, African Americans showed slightly higher ORF1p content, and 2-3 times greater ranges of LINE-1 values compared to Hispanics. Whole plasma ORF1p levels correlated with EV ORF1p levels, indicating that most of the circulating LINE-1 protein is contained within EVs. EV LINE-1 mRNA levels were elevated in patients with advanced cancer stages and in select patients with squamous cell carcinoma and metastatic tumors compared to adenocarcinomas. The observed EV LINE-1 mRNA profiles paralleled the patterns of ORF1p expression in NSCLC tissue sections suggesting that LINE-1 analytes in plasma EVs may serve to monitor the activity of LINE-1 retroelements in lung cancer.

    Abstract Children with asthma and obesity are more likely to have lower vitamin D levels, but the optimal replacement dose is unknown in this population. The objective of this study is identifying a vitamin D dose in children with obesity-related asthma that safely achieves serum vitamin D levels of ≥ 40 ng/mL. This prospective multisite randomized controlled trial recruited children/adolescents with asthma and body mass index ≥ 85% for age/sex. Part 1 (dose finding), evaluated 4 oral vitamin D regimens for 16 weeks to identify a replacement dose that achieved serum vitamin D levels ≥ 40 ng/mL. Part 2 compared the replacement dose calculated from part 1 (50,000 IU loading dose with 8,000 IU daily) to standard of care (SOC) for 16 weeks to identify the proportion of children achieving target serum 25(OH)D level. Part 1 included 48 randomized participants. Part 2 included 64 participants. In Part 1, no SOC participants achieved target serum level, but 50-72.7% of participants in cohorts A-C achieved the target serum level. In part 2, 78.6% of replacement dose participants achieved target serum level compared with none in the SOC arm. No related serious adverse events were reported. This trial confirmed a 50,000 IU loading dose plus 8,000 IU daily oral vitamin D as safe and effective in increasing serum 25(OH)D levels in children/adolescents with overweight/obesity to levels ≥ 40 ng/mL. Given the critical role of vitamin D in many conditions complicating childhood obesity, these data close a critical gap in our understanding of vitamin D dosing in children.

    Abstract Background: Right ventricular (RV) function is important in the evaluation of cardiac function, but its assessment using standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains challenging. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is considered the gold standard. The American Society of Echocardiography recommends surrogate measures of RV function and RV ejection fraction (RVEF) by TTE, including fractional area change (FAC), free wall strain (FWS), and tricuspid annular planar systolic excursion (TAPSE), but they require technical expertise in acquisition and quantification.
    Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of FAC, FWS, and TAPSE derived using a rapid, novel artificial intelligence (AI) software (LVivoRV) from a single-plane transthoracic echocardiographic apical four-chamber, RV-focused view without ultrasound-enhancing agents for detecting abnormal RV function compared with CMR-derived RVEF. RV dysfunction was defined as RVEF < 50% and RVEF < 40% on CMR.
    Results: TTE and CMR were performed within a median of 10 days (interquartile range, 2-32 days) of each other in 225 consecutive patients without interval procedural or pharmacologic intervention. The sensitivity and negative predictive value to detect CMR-defined RV dysfunction when all three AI-derived parameters (FAC, FWS, and TAPSE) were abnormal were 91% and 96%, while those of expert physician reads were 91% and 97%. Specificity and positive predictive value were lower (50% and 32%) compared with expert physician-read echocardiograms (82% and 56%).
    Conclusions: AI-derived measurements of FAC, FWS, and TAPSE had excellent sensitivity and negative predictive value for ruling out significant RV dysfunction (CMR RVEF < 40%), comparable with that of expert physician readers, but lower specificity. Thus AI, using American Society of Echocardiography guidelines, may serve as a useful screening tool for rapid bedside assessment to exclude significant RV dysfunction.

    Abstract Background: The ASTHMAXcel mobile application has been linked to favorable outcomes among adult patients with asthma.
    Objective: To assess the impact of ASTHMAXcel Adventures, a gamified, guideline-based, pediatric version on asthma control, knowledge, health care utilization, and patient satisfaction.
    Methods: Pediatric patients with asthma received the ASTHMAXcel Adventures mobile intervention on-site only at baseline (visit 1), 4 months (visit 2), and 6 months (visit 3). The asthma control test, asthma illness representation scale-self-administered, pediatric asthma impact survey, and Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 were used to assess asthma control, knowledge, and patient satisfaction. Patients reported the number of asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and oral prednisone use.
    Results: A total of 39 patients completed the study. The proportion of controlled asthma increased from visit 1 to visits 2 and 3 (30.8% vs 53.9%, P = .04; 30.8% vs 59.0%, P = .02), and largely seen in boys. The mean asthma illness representation scale-self-administered scores increased from baseline pre- to postintervention, with sustained improvements at visits 2 and 3 (3.55 vs 3.76, P < .001; 3.55 vs 3.80, P = .001; 3.55 vs 3.99, P < .001). The pediatric asthma impact survey scores improved from baseline to visits 2 and 3 (43.33 vs 34.08, P < .001; 43.33 vs 31.74, P < .001). ED visits and prednisone use significantly decreased from baseline to visits 2 and 3 (ED: 0.46 vs 0.13, P = .03; 0.46 vs 0.02, P = .02; prednisone use, 0.49 vs 0.13, P = .02; 0.49 vs 0.03, P = .003. Satisfaction was high with mean client satisfaction questionnaire score of approximately 30 (out of 32) at all visits.
    Conclusion: ASTHMAXcel Adventures improved asthma control, knowledge, and quality of life, and reduced ED visits and prednisone use with high satisfaction scores.

    Abstract Aims: Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) removes cholesterol and stabilizes vulnerable plaques. In addition, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) may be cardioprotective in acute myocardial infarction (MI). Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) may enhance RCT. The objective of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of multiple ascending doses of recombinant human LCAT (MEDI6012) to inform a Phase 2b programme.
    Methods and results: This was a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase 2a study of MEDI6012. Patients were randomized into one of four cohorts (40, 120, 300 mg IV weekly ×3 doses, or 300 mg IV-push, 150 mg at 48 h and 100 mg at 7 days). All cohorts were planned to randomize 6:2 (MEDI6012 vs. placebo). The primary endpoints were baseline-adjusted area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 96 h post dose 3 (AUC 0-96 h) for HDL-C, HDL cholesteryl ester (HDL-CE), and total cholesteryl ester (CE). The primary safety endpoints were treatment-emergent adverse events. A total of 32 patients were randomized. MEDI6012 significantly increased AUC 0-96 h for HDL-C, HDL-CE and CE in a graded fashion with increasing doses. Relative to placebo, MEDI6012 increased HDL-C at Day 19 by 66% (95% CI 33-99, P = 0.014) with 120 mg and 144% (95% CI 108-181, P < 0.001) with 300 mg. An IV-push increased HDL-C by 40.8% at 30 min. Overall adverse events were similar between groups with no severe, life-threatening/fatal adverse events, or neutralizing antibodies.
    Conclusions: Multiple ascending doses of MEDI6012 were safe and well tolerated and significantly increased HDL-C, HDL-CE and CE in a dose-related manner. These data support the ongoing Phase 2b programme investigating MEDI6012 in ST-elevation MI.

    Abstract Background: Premature ventricular contractions (VPC) have hour-to-hour and day-to-day variation. High VPC burden correlates with cardiomyopathy.
    Objective: To determine the optimal duration for ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring for accurate assessment of VPC burden.
    Methods: Our group performed a retrospective analysis on patch monitors used for any indication with overall VPC burden ≥5.0% between February 1, 2016, and February 1, 2020. We generated cumulative daily VPC averages for each day of wear and performed linear regression analysis between each cumulative daily average and overall burden. Patients were divided into groups based on low or high VPC frequency, and the analysis was repeated. Split-sample validation was used to internally validate the overall prediction model.
    Results: A total of 116 patches representing 107 patients (mean age: 64.5; female: 48%) were analyzed. Mean overall VPC burden was 13.4% ± 7.5% (range: 5.0%-42.0%). Day 1 R
    Conclusion: Mobile telemetry for a period of ∼7 days accurately reflects overall VPC burden. Measurement of VPC burden for only 24-48 hours may not accurately reflect total burden. Monitoring for 2 weeks or longer adds little additional VPC information.

    Abstract Purpose: Hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, and azithromycin have been used for treatment of COVID-19, but may cause QT prolongation. Minority populations are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. This study evaluates the risk of QT prolongation and subsequent outcomes after administration of these medications in largely underrepresented minority COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: We conducted an observational study on hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the Montefiore Health System (Bronx, NY). We examined electrocardiograms (ECG) pre/post-medication initiation to evaluate QTc, HR, QRS duration, and presence of other arrhythmias.
    Results: One hundred five patients (mean age 67 years; 44.8% F) were analyzed. The median time from the first dose of any treatment to post-medication ECG was 2 days (IQR: 1-3). QTc in men increased from baseline (440 vs 455 ms, p < 0.001), as well as in women (438 vs 463 ms, p < 0.001). The proportion of patients with QT prolongation increased significantly (14.3% vs 34.3%, p < 0.001) even when adjusted for electrolyte abnormalities. The number of patients whose QTc > 500 ms was significantly increased after treatment (16.2% vs. 4.8%, p < 0.01). Patients with either QTc > 500 ms or an increase of 60 ms had a higher frequency of death (47.6% vs. 22.6%, p = 0.02) with an odds ratio of 3.1 (95% CI: 1.1-8.7). Adjusting for race/ethnicity yielded no significant associations.
    Conclusions: Hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, and/or azithromycin were associated with QTc prolongation but did not result in fatal arrhythmias.
