    Abstract Background: To evaluate whether infectious illness symptoms (IIS) are associated with generalized anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in sexual/gender (SGM) minority young adults assigned male at birth (AMAB).
    Method: Four hundred eighteen participants (median age = 25; range, 20-40) were recruited through RADAR, an ongoing Chicago-based cohort study of SGM-AMAB between September 2020 and February 2021. Participants completed online surveys. A subset (n = 145) provided dried blood spot samples to assess SARS-CoV-2 serostatus.
    Results: One hundred twenty participants (28.7%) had GAD-7 scores of 10 or greater, which indicates generalized anxiety symptoms that may be clinically significant. In a binomial logistic regression model adjusting age, gender identity, race/ethnicity, substance use, and HIV status, the authors found that having a higher IIS count since March 1, 2020, was associated with greater odds of having a GAD-7 score of 10 or greater (OR = 1.14; 95% CI, 1.04, 1.25; P = 0.007). This effect was more pronounced in a binomial logistic regression model adjusting for the same covariates but using current IIS count as the independent variable (OR = 1.39; 95% CI, 1.13, 1.74; P = 0.002).
    Conclusion: Among SGM-AMAB young adults, those who experienced ISS reported higher scores on the GAD-7, a widely used and validated screening measure for generalized anxiety symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of screening for anxiety disorders when patients present with IIS in clinical settings and psychobehavioral health follow-ups when indicated.

    Abstract Phosphatidylethanol (PEth), which is formed by enzymatic reaction between ethanol and phosphatidylcholine, is a direct marker for alcohol usage. PEth has a long elimination half-life (~5-10 d) and specimens can be sampled using minimally invasive microsampling strategies. In combination with rapid analysis procedures PEth has proved to be advantageous for the detection of abstinence over other direct (e.g., ethyl glucuronide in blood, urine or hair) and indirect (e.g., carbohydrate-deficient transferrin in serum) alcohol markers. Although PEth determination is widely applied around the world, laboratory protocols are not standardized. Here we provide general guidelines for the analysis of PEth in dried blood spots (DBSs), including reference material evaluation, synthesis of a deuterated internal standard, preparation of calibration samples (reference material in teetotaller blood), and analyte separation and detection. The protocol contains information to extract the DBSs either manually or with a fully automated autosampler. Extraction of the analytes from DBS filter paper cards is performed using an organic extraction, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). For accurate and reliable measurement of PEth, the two most abundant analogs, PEth 16:0/18:1 and PEth 16:0/18:2, are quantified. We show data that provide guidelines on how to interpret the results for both demographic studies and forensic applications. The described protocol can be applied by experienced laboratory staff with basic LC-MS/MS knowledge and takes 2 d to perform.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Human susceptibility to chronic non-communicable disease may be explained, in part, by mismatches between our evolved biology and contemporary environmental conditions. Disease-induced fatigue may function to reduce physical activity during acute infection, thereby making more energy available to mount an effective immune response. However, fatigue in the context of chronic disease may be maladaptive because long-term reductions in physical activity increase risks of disease progression and the acquisition of additional morbidities. Here, we test whether cumulative chronic morbidity is associated with subjective fatigue.
    Methodology: We constructed a cumulative chronic morbidity score using self-reported diagnoses and algorithm-based assessments, and a subjective fatigue score based on four questionnaire items using cross-sectional survey data from the Study on global AGEing and adult health, which features large samples of adults from six countries (China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia and South Africa).
    Results: In a mixed-effects linear model with participants nested in countries (
    Conclusions and implications: Fatigue is a common but perhaps maladaptive neuropsychological response to chronic morbidity. Disease-induced fatigue may mediate a self-perpetuating cycle, in which chronic morbidity reduces physical activity, and less physical activity increases cumulative chronic morbidity. Longitudinal research is needed to test whether chronic morbidity, fatigue and physical activity form a cyclical feedback loop.

    Abstract Background: Genomic fusions are potent oncogenic drivers across cancer types and many are targetable. We demonstrate the clinical performance of DNA-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) for detecting targetable fusions.
    Materials and methods: We analyzed targetable fusion genes in >450 000 tissue specimens profiled using DNA CGP (FoundationOne CDx, FoundationOne). Using a de-identified nationwide (US-based) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) clinico-genomic database, we assessed outcomes in patients with nonsquamous NSCLC (NonSqNSCLC) who received matched therapy based on a fusion identified using DNA CGP. Lastly, we modeled the added value of RNA CGP for fusion detection in NonSqNSCLC.
    Results: We observed a broad diversity of fusion partners detected with DNA CGP in conjunction with targetable fusion genes (ALK, BRAF, FGFR2, FGFR3, NTRK1/2/3, RET, and ROS1). In NonSqNSCLC with oncogenic ALK, NTRK, RET, and ROS1 fusions detected by DNA CGP, patients treated with a matched tyrosine kinase inhibitor had better real-world progression-free survival than those receiving alternative treatment regimens and benefit was observed regardless of the results of orthogonal fusion testing. An estimated 1.3% of patients with NonSqNSCLC were predicted to have an oncogenic driver fusion identified by RNA, but not DNA CGP, according to a model that accounts for multiple real-world factors.
    Conclusion: A well-designed DNA CGP assay is capable of robust fusion detection and these fusion calls are reliable for informing clinical decision-making. While DNA CGP detects most driver fusions, the clinical impact of fusion detection is substantial for individual patients and exhaustive efforts, inclusive of additional RNA-based testing, should be considered when an oncogenic driver is not clearly identified.

    Abstract For driving aptitude assessment (DAA), the analysis of several alcohol biomarkers is essential for the detection of alcohol intake besides psycho-medical exploration. In Switzerland, EtG in hair (hEtG) is often the only direct marker for abstinence monitoring in DAA. Therefore, the suitability of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) was investigated as additional biomarker. PEth 16:0/18:1 and 16:0/18:2 were determined by online-SPE-LC-MS/MS in 136 blood samples of persons undergoing DAA and compared to hEtG, determined in hair segments taken at the same time. With a PEth 16:0/18:1 threshold of 210 ng/mL for excessive alcohol consumption, all (n = 30) but one tested person also had hEtG values ≥30 pg/mg. In 54 cases, results are not in contradiction to an abstinence as neither PEth (<20 ng/mL) nor hEtG (<7 pg/mg) was detected. In eight cases, both markers showed moderate consumption. Altogether, PEth and hEtG were in accordance in 68 % of the samples, although covering different time periods of alcohol consumption. With receiver operating characteristic analysis, PEth was evaluated to differentiate abstinence, moderate, and excessive alcohol consumption in accordance with hEtG limits. A PEth 16:0/18:1 threshold of 150 ng/mL resulted in the best sensitivity (70.6 %) and specificity (98.8 %) for excessive consumption. Values between 20 and 150 ng/mL passed for moderate consumption, values <20 ng/mL passed for abstinence. As PEth mostly has a shorter detection window (2-4 weeks) than hEtG (up to 6 months depending on hair length), changes in drinking behavior can be detected earlier by PEth than by hEtG analysis alone. Therefore, PEth helps to improve the diagnostic information and is a valuable additional alcohol marker for DAA.
