    Abstract Small mammals undergo an aging process similar to that of larger mammals, but aging occurs at a dramatically faster rate. This phenomenon is often assumed to be the result of damage caused by reactive oxygen species generated in mitochondria. An alternative explanation for the phenomenon is suggested here. The rate of RNA synthesis is dramatically elevated in small mammals and correlates quantitatively with the rate of aging among different mammalian species. The rate of RNA synthesis is reduced by caloric restriction and inhibition of TOR pathway signaling, two perturbations that increase lifespan in multiple metazoan species. From bacteria to man, the transcription of a gene has been found to increase the rate at which it is damaged, and a number of lines of evidence suggest that DNA damage is sufficient to induce multiple symptoms associated with normal aging. Thus, the correlations frequently found between the rate of RNA synthesis and the rate of aging could potentially reflect an important role for transcription-associated DNA damage in the aging process.

    Abstract Dogs with B-cell lymphoma typically respond well to first-line CHOP-based chemotherapy, but there is no standard of care for relapsed patients. To help veterinary oncologists select effective drugs for dogs with lymphoid malignancies such as B-cell lymphoma, we have developed multimodal machine learning models that integrate data from multiple tumor profiling modalities and predict the likelihood of a positive clinical response for 10 commonly used chemotherapy drugs. Here we report on clinical outcomes that occurred after oncologists received a prediction report generated by our models. Remarkably, we found that dogs that received drugs predicted to be effective by the models experienced better clinical outcomes by every metric we analyzed (overall response rate, complete response rate, duration of complete response, patient survival times) relative to other dogs in the study and relative to historical controls.

    Abstract Each genomic locus in a eukaryotic cell has a distinct average time of replication during S phase that depends on the spatial and temporal pattern of replication initiation events. Replication timing can affect genomic integrity because late replication is associated with an increased mutation rate. For most eukaryotes, the features of the genome that specify the location and timing of initiation events are unknown. To investigate these features for the fission yeast,

    Abstract DNA damage tolerance (DDT) mechanisms allow cells to synthesize a new DNA strand when the template is damaged. Many mutations resulting from DNA damage in eukaryotes are generated during DDT when cells use the mutagenic translesion polymerases, Rev1 and Polζ, rather than mechanisms with higher fidelity. The coordination among DDT mechanisms is not well understood. We used live-cell imaging to study the function of DDT mechanisms throughout the cell cycle of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We report that checkpoint-dependent mitotic delay provides a cellular mechanism to ensure the completion of high fidelity DDT, largely by homology-directed repair (HDR). DDT by mutagenic polymerases is suppressed during the checkpoint delay by a mechanism dependent on Rad51 recombinase. When cells pass the G2/M checkpoint and can no longer delay mitosis, they completely lose the capacity for HDR and simultaneously exhibit a requirement for Rev1 and Polζ. Thus, DDT is coordinated with the checkpoint response so that the activity of mutagenic polymerases is confined to a vulnerable period of the cell cycle when checkpoint delay and HDR are not possible.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the contribution of specific contraceptive side effects to method switch and modern-method discontinuation among Kenyan women.
    Design: A prospective cohort study.
    Setting: Five counties in Western Kenya.
    Participants: Women aged ≥18 years old and emancipated female minors ≥14 years old using modern, reversible contraception were recruited while attending 10 public health facilities.
    Methods: Patient-reported adverse effect symptoms, method switch and discontinuation were reported through weekly text message-based surveys for 24 weeks.
    Main outcome measurements: Prevalence, hazards ratio (HR).
    Results: Among 825 women, 44% were using implants, 43% injectables, 7% an intrauterine device and 6% oral contraceptive pills at enrolment. Most (61%) women were continuing a method used in the previous month. During the 24-week follow up, incidence of contraceptive switch was 61.3 per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI] 52.4-71.8) and incidence of discontinuation was 38.5 per 100 person-years (95% CI 31.6-47.0). On average, one-quarter (prevalence [Pr] 0.24, 95% CI 0.22-0.26) of participants reported side effects or method problems weekly, with sexual side effects the most prevalent symptom (Pr 0.15, 95% CI 0.13-0.16). Lack of expected bleeding was associated with higher risk of method switch (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.36, 95% CI 1.22-4.57). Risk of all-modern method discontinuation was higher among women experiencing irregular bleeding (aHR 2.39, 95% CI 1.20-4.77), weight changes (aHR 2.72, 95% CI 1.47-4.68) and sexual side effects (aHR 2.42, 95% CI 1.40-4.20).
    Conclusions: Addressing irregular bleeding, weight changes and sexual side effects through development of new products that minimise these specific side effects and anticipatory counseling may reduce method-related discontinuation.

    Abstract Importance: Early pregnancy loss (EPL), or miscarriage, is the most common complication of early pregnancy, and many patients experiencing EPL present to the emergency department (ED). Little is known about how patients who present to the ED with EPL differ from those who present to outpatient clinics and how their management and outcomes differ.
    Objective: To compare the management and outcomes of patients with EPL who present to the ED vs outpatient clinics.
    Design, setting, and participants: This retrospective cohort study used the IBM MarketScan Research Database, a national insurance claims database. Participants were pregnant people aged 15 to 49 years in the US who presented to either an ED or outpatient clinic for initial diagnosis of EPL from October 2015 through December 2019. Data analysis was performed from May 2021 to March 2022.
    Exposures: The primary exposure was location of service (ED vs outpatient clinic). Other exposures of interest included demographic characteristics, current pregnancy history, and comorbidities.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was EPL management type (surgical, medication, or expectant management). Complications, including blood transfusion and hospitalization, and characteristics associated with location of service were also evaluated. Bivariable analyses and multivariable logistic regression were used for data analysis.
    Results: A total of 117 749 patients with EPL diagnoses were identified, with a mean (SD) age of 31.8 (6.1) years. Of these patients, 20 826 (17.7%) initially presented to the ED, and 96 923 (82.3%) presented to outpatient clinics. Compared with the outpatient setting, patients in the ED were less likely to receive surgical (2925 patients [14.0%] vs 23 588 patients [24.3%]) or medication (1116 patients [5.4%] vs 10 878 patients [11.2%]) management. In the adjusted analysis, characteristics associated with decreased odds of active (surgical or medication) vs expectant management included ED (vs outpatient) presentation (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.46; 95% CI, 0.44-0.47), urban location (aOR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82-0.91), and being a dependent on an insurance policy (vs primary policy holder) (aOR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.67-0.74); whereas older age (aOR per 1-year increase 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01-1.01), established prenatal care (aOR, 2.35; 95% CI, 2.29-2.42), and medical comorbidities (aOR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.09) were associated with increased odds of receiving active management. Patients in the ED were more likely than those in outpatient clinics to need a blood transfusion (287 patients [1.4%] vs 202 patients [0.2%]) or hospitalization (463 patients [2.2%] vs 472 patients [0.5%]), but complications were low regardless of location of service.
    Conclusions and relevance: In this cohort study of privately insured patients with EPL, differences in management between the ED vs outpatient setting may reflect barriers to accessing comprehensive EPL management options. More research is needed to understand these significant differences in management approaches by practice setting, and to what extent EPL management reflects patient preferences in both outpatient and ED settings.

    Abstract Understanding bone fragility in young adult females with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is of great clinical importance since the high fracture risk in this population remains unexplained. This study aimed to investigate bone health in young adult T1DM females by comparing relevant variables determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the tibia and pQCT-based finite element analysis (pQCT-FEA) between T1DM subjects (n = 21) and age-, height- and weight-matched controls (n = 63).

    Abstract Background Bone turnover markers (BTMs) may provide insight into bone health in young women, but have been little studied in this demographic. We aimed to explore the association between body composition, hormonal contraception, bone mineral density and biochemical parameters and BTMs in young women. Methods Participants were community-dwelling females aged 16-25 years, living in Victoria, Australia. Carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) and total procollagen type 1 N-propeptide (P1NP) were analysed on the Roche Elecsys automated analyzer. A total of 305 were evaluated, after excluding participants with medical conditions or medications (except hormonal contraceptives), which may affect bone metabolism. Results Median (Q1, Q3) BTM values were 540 (410, 690) ng/L for CTX and 61.7 (46.2, 83.7) µg/L for P1NP. Serum CTX and P1NP were inversely associated with chronological age ( P < 0.001), transferrin ( P < 0.020) and serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate concentration ( P < 0.001). BTM values were up to 22% lower in combined oral contraceptive (COC) pill users ( P < 0.001). Serum CTX was inversely associated with per cent body fat ( P = 0.009) and tibial cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD; P = 0.003). Serum P1NP concentrations were 23  µg/L higher in participants who reported using an osteopath in the previous year ( P = 0.007). Conclusions These data suggest that BTMs are influenced by age, COC use, body composition, iron status and hormonal profiles. Higher CTX values were associated with lower tibial cortical vBMD. Examining BTMs in relation to interventions aimed at improving bone health in young women is warranted.

    Abstract Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health concern. Studies of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) determinants in young women are limited and few include objective covariates. Our aims were to define the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and examine serum 25(OH)D correlates in an exploratory study of women aged 16-25 years. We studied 348 healthy females living in Victoria, Australia, recruited through Facebook. Data collected included serum 25(OH)D assayed by liquid chromatography-tandem MS, relevant serum biochemistry, soft tissue composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, skin melanin density, Fitzpatrick skin type, sun exposure using UV dosimeters and lifestyle factors. Mean serum 25(OH)D was 68 (sd 27) nmol/l and 26 % were vitamin D deficient (25(OH)D 2 h in the sun in summer daily, holidaying in the most recent summer period, serum Fe levels, height and multivitamin use were positively associated with 25(OH)D. Fat mass and a blood draw in any season except summer was inversely associated with 25(OH)D. Vitamin D deficiency is common in young women. Factors such as hormonal contraception, sun exposure and sun-related attitudes, as well as dietary supplement use are essential to consider when assessing vitamin D status. Further investigation into methods to safely optimise vitamin D status and to improve understanding of the impact of vitamin D status on long-term health outcomes is required.

    Abstract Background: While there is evidence linking vitamin D status with mood, this association and its clinical significance remain uncertain. Moreover, few studies have focused on young, community-dwelling females. The Safe-D study examined the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels and mental health in young women.
    Methods: Participants completed an online questionnaire, wore a UV dosimeter to measure personal sun exposure and underwent a comprehensive health assessment. Serum 25OHD was measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 353 healthy women aged 16-25 years, living in Victoria, Australia. Mental health measures included: Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Kessler psychological distress scale (K10) and 12-item short-form health survey (SF-12), plus any self-reported mental disorder diagnoses or medication use.
    Results: The prevalence of self-reported mental disorder was 26% and of vitamin D deficiency 27%. The median (Q1, Q3) scores for the PHQ-9, GAD-7, K10 and SF-12 MCS were 6 (3, 9), 5 (2, 8), 19 (15, 25) and 43 (34, 49), respectively. Serum 25OHD levels were not associated with mental health scores. Vitamin D status was not associated with a reported diagnosis of depression or anxiety.
    Limitations: There was a low prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency and mental health symptoms, which may reduce study power.
    Conclusion: Our findings do not support an association between serum 25OHD levels and mental health status in young women. Longitudinal studies and randomized clinical trials investigating vitamin D and mood in young women are needed to confirm and extend these results.
