    Abstract Introduction: Determining industry of decedents and victim-perpetrator relationships is crucial to inform and evaluate occupational homicide prevention strategies. In this study, we examine occupational homicide rates in North Carolina (NC) by victim characteristics, industry and victim-perpetrator relationship from 1992 to 2017.
    Methods: Occupational homicides were identified from records of the NC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner system and the NC death certificates. Sex, age, race, ethnicity, class of worker, manner of death, victim-perpetrator relationship and industry were abstracted. Crude and age-standardised homicide rates were calculated as the number of homicides that occurred at work divided by an estimate of worker-years (w-y). Rate ratios and 95% CIs were calculated, and trends over calendar time in occupational homicide rates were examined overall and by industry.
    Results: 456 homicides over 111 573 049 w-y were observed. Occupational homicide rates decreased from 0.82 per 100 000 w-y for the period 1992-1995 to 0.21 per 100 000 w-y for the period 2011-2015, but increased to 0.32 per 100 000 w-y in the period 2016-2017. Fifty-five per cent (252) of homicides were perpetrated by strangers. Taxi drivers experienced an occupational homicide rate that was 110 times (95% CI 76.52 to 160.19) the overall occupational homicide rate in NC; however, this rate declined by 76.5% between 1992 and 2017. Disparities were observed among workers 65+ years old, racially and ethnically minoritised workers and self-employed workers.
    Conclusion: Our findings identify industries and worker demographics that experienced high occupational homicide fatality rates. Targeted and tailored mitigation strategies among vulnerable industries and workers are recommended.

    Abstract Background: Suicide is a serious public health problem in the United States, but limited evidence is available investigating fatal suicides at work. There is a substantial need to characterize workplace suicides to inform suicide prevention interventions and target high-risk settings. This study aims to examine workplace suicide rates in North Carolina (NC) by worker characteristics, means of suicide used, and industry between 1992 and 2017.
    Methods: Fatal workplace suicides were identified from records of the NC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner system and the NC death certificate. Sex, age, race, ethnicity, class of worker, manner of death, and industry were abstracted. Crude and age-standardized homicide rates were calculated as the number of suicides that occurred at work divided by an estimate of worker-years (w-y). Rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and trends over calendar time for fatal workplace suicides were examined overall and by industry.
    Results: 81 suicides over 109,464,430 w-y were observed. Increased rates were observed in workers who were male, self-employed, and 65+ years old. Firearms were the most common means of death (63%) followed by hanging (16%). Gas service station workers experienced the highest fatal occupational suicide rate, 11.5 times (95% CI: 3.62-36.33) the overall fatal workplace suicide rate, followed by Justice, Public Order, and Safety workers at 3.23 times the overall rate (95% CI: 1.31-7.97).
    Conclusion: Our findings identify industries and worker demographics that were vulnerable to workplace suicides. Targeted and tailored mitigation strategies for vulnerable industries and workers are recommended.

    Abstract Retinal vessel calibers share anatomic and physiologic characteristics with the cerebral vasculature and can be visualized noninvasively. In light of the known microvascular contributions to brain health and cognitive function, we aimed to determine if, in a community based-study, retinal vessel calibers and change in caliber over 8 years are associated with cognitive function or trajectory. Participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort who completed cognitive testing at Exam 5 (2010-2012) and had retinal vascular caliber measurements (Central Retinal Artery and Vein Equivalents; CRAE and CRVE) at Exam 2 (2002-2004) and Exam 5 were included. Using multivariable linear regression, we evaluated the association of CRAE and CRVE from Exam 2 and Exam 5 and their change between the two exams with scores on tests of global cognitive function (Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument; CASI), processing speed (Digit Symbol Coding; DSC) and working memory (Digit Span; DS) at Exam 5 and with subsequent change in cognitive scores between Exam 5 and Exam 6 (2016-2018).The main effects are reported as the difference in cognitive test score per SD increment in retinal vascular caliber with 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 4334 participants (aged 61.6 ± 9.2 years; 53% female; 41% White) completed cognitive testing and at least one retinal assessment. On multivariable analysis, a 1 SD larger CRAE at exam 5 was associated with a lower concomitant CASI score (- 0.24, 95% CI - 0.46, - 0.02). A 1 SD larger CRVE at exam 2 was associated with a lower subsequent CASI score (- 0.23, 95%CI - 0.45, - 0.01). A 1 SD larger CRVE at exam 2 or 5 was associated with a lower DSC score [(- 0.56, 95% CI - 1.02, - 0.09) and - 0.55 (95% CI - 1.03, - 0.07) respectively]. The magnitude of the associations was relatively small (2.8-3.1% of SD). No significant associations were found between retinal vessel calibers at Exam 2 and 5 with the subsequent score trajectory of cognitive tests performance over an average of 6 years. Wider retinal venular caliber was associated with concomitant and future measures of slower processing speed but not with later cognitive trajectory. Future studies should evaluate the utility of these measures in risk stratification models from a clinical perspective as well as for screening on a population level.

    Abstract The treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma has evolved from an era dominated by immune modulation to an era of antiangiogenesis agents. Blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor-mediated pathways and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways has accounted for most of these gains. Although these agents have offered dramatic improvements in survival for kidney cancer patients, resistance inevitably occurs, and new classes of agents are needed to continue to improve outcomes in this setting. We discuss several alternative pathways of angiogenesis, which are being investigated as targets to overcome treatment resistance, including angiopoietin family proteins, fibroblast growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and vascular disrupting agents.

    Abstract Ceratonova shasta is the etiological agent of myxozoan-associated enteronecrosis in North American salmonids. The parasite's life cycle involves waterborne spores and requires both a salmonid fish and a freshwater fabriciid annelid. The success and survival of annelids can be enhanced by flow moderation by dams, and through the erosion of fine sediments into stream channels following wildfires. In this study, the presence of C. shasta environmental/ex-host DNA (eDNA) in river water and substrate samples collected from areas affected by recent fire activity in California, USA, was investigated. Additionally, DNA loads in the environment were compared to C. shasta infection in sentinel-exposed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Significant associations between C. shasta detection in environmental samples and location within a wildfire perimeter (p = 0.002), between C. shasta detection in sentinel fish and exposure location within a wildfire perimeter (p = 0.015), and between C. shasta detection in fish and locations where water temperature was above the median (p < 0.001) were observed. Additionally, a higher prevalence of C. shasta infection in fish was detected where C. shasta was also detected in environmental samples (p < 0.001). Results suggest that pathogen eDNA sampling can be used as a non-invasive, rapid, specific, and sensitive method for establishing risk of C. shasta infection in wild populations. Knowledge of the complete life cycle of the target parasite, including ecology of each host, can inform the choice of eDNA sampling strategy. Environmental DNA sampling also revealed a novel species of Ceratonova, not yet observed in a host.
