    Abstract Cortical interneurons shape network activity in cell type-specific ways, and are also influenced by interactions with other cell types. These specific cell-type interactions are understudied, as transgenic labeling methods typically restrict labeling to one neuron type at a time. Although recent methods have enabled post-hoc identification of cell types, these are not available to many labs. Here, we present a method to distinguish between two red fluorophores

    Abstract Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a frequent complication after distal pancreatectomy (DP), but its upgrading from biochemical leak (BL) still represents an unexplored phenomenon. This study aims at identifying risk factors of the clinical evolution from BL to grade-B POPF after DP.
    Methods: Patients who underwent DP between 2015 and 2019 and who developed either BL (n = 89,56%) or BL upgraded to late B fistula (LB) after postoperative day 5 (n = 71,44%) were included. Preoperative, surgical, postoperative predictors were compared between the two groups.
    Results: Patients with LB were significantly older (61 vs 56 years, P < 0.025) and received neoadjuvant chemotherapy more frequently (22.5% vs 8.5%,P = 0.017). Extended lymphadenectomy (52.8% vs 31.0%,P = 0.006), longer operative times (OT) (307 vs 250 min,P = 0.002), greater estimated blood loss (250 vs 150 ml, P = 0.021), and the appearance of purulent fluid in surgical drains (58.4% vs 21.1%; P < 0.001) were more frequently observed in LB group. Only purulent fluid in surgical drains and longer OT were confirmed as independent predictors of BL clinical progression.
    Conclusions: Purulent fluid from surgical drains should be suspicious of BL upgrading. Frail patients undergoing longer interventions may represent key targets of mitigation strategies to minimize the magnitude of an incipient fistula and its increase in morbidity.

    Abstract To investigate potential sex-related differences in patients with narcolepsy type 1, we carried out an analysis of baseline data from 93 women and 89 men with narcolepsy type 1 who participated in the TElemedicine for NARcolepsy (TENAR) trial. The following data were considered: sociodemographics; diagnostic (disease history, polysomnography, orexin, human leukocyte antigen) and clinical features, including sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), cataplexy and other narcolepsy symptoms; disease severity (Narcolepsy Severity Scale); pharmacological treatment; depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory); and self-reported relevance of eight narcolepsy-related issues. We found that, compared with men, significantly more women reported automatic behaviours (55.4% versus 40%) and had higher Epworth Sleepiness Scale (median 10 versus 9) and Beck Depression Inventory scores (median 10.5 versus 5), and there was a trend for a higher Narcolepsy Severity Scale total score in women (median 19 versus 18, p = 0.057). More women than men were officially recognized as having a disability (38% versus 22.5%) and considered 5/8 narcolepsy-related issues investigated as a relevant problem. More severe sleepiness and a greater narcolepsy-related burden in women could mirror sex differences present in the general population, or may be related to suboptimal management of narcolepsy type 1 or to more severe depressive symptoms in women. Future studies and guidelines should address these aspects.

    Abstract The food system is a major driver of climate change, and many have noted that a shift in consumption patterns is necessary to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets that can limit global mean temperature rise ≤2 °C. Beef is the largest GHG emitting commodity in the United States, and in recent years national consumption has been declining. Little is understood about how this change in consumption and other dietary trends have influenced the overall GHGs associated with the US diet. The objective of this study is to estimate the GHGs of changing dietary patterns from individual self-selected diets in the United States from 2003-2018 and evaluate trends and potential disparities among demographic subgroups. Life cycle emissions factors (representing food production impacts) for food commodities from dataFIELD were used to estimate GHGs associated with food items described by US adults (>20 years, n = 39,750) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). From 2003 to 2018, the mean GHG emissions associated with the US diet fell by more than 35%, from 4.02kg CO₂e per day per capita, to 2.45kg CO₂e per day per capita, despite average caloric intake remaining relatively stable over the same period. Average beef consumption declined 40% per capita over the study period, which contributed to more than 50% of the observed GHG savings in the diet over the study period. All demographic variables included in this analysis (age, gender, race/ethnicity, and ratio of family income to the federal poverty level) exhibited a reduction in GHG emissions associated with their diets. However, GHGs and overall rate of change differed across demographic subgroups. Black women had the lowest GHG emissions associated with their diet, 1.92kg CO₂e per capita per day. Men aged 20–34 had the largest rate of reduction in GHGs associated with diet changes, with an average annual decline of 210g CO₂e per day per capita over the study period. Despite GHGs associated with the US diet falling over the last 15 years, the US diet is still exceeding established GHG limits to meet global targets, such as the Paris Agreement. Additional research is needed to better understand motivations and drivers that have reduced emissions in the diet over this period, particularly in demographic subgroups that showed both low impact and a rapid decline in emissions.

    Abstract Background: Despite abundant, high-level scientific evidence, there is no consensus regarding the prevention, mitigation, and management of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy. The aim of the present investigation is three-fold: (1) to analyze the multiple decision-making points for pancreatico-enteric anastomotic creation and fistula mitigation and management after pancreatoduodenectomy, (2) to reveal the practice of contemporary experts, and (3) to indicate avenues for future research to reduce the burden of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula.
    Methods: A 109-item questionnaire was sent to a panel of international pancreatic surgery experts, recognized for their clinical and scientific authority. Their practice habits and thought processes regarding clinically relevant pancreatic fistula risk assessment, anastomotic construction, application of technical adjuncts, and mitigation strategies, as well as postoperative management, was explored. Sixteen clinical vignettes were presented to reveal their certain approaches to unique situations-both common and uncommon.
    Results: Sixty experts, with a cumulative 48,860 pancreatoduodenectomies, completed the questionnaire. Their median pancreatectomy/pancreatoduodenectomy case volume was 1,200 and 705 procedures, respectively, with a median career duration of 22 years and 200 indexed publications. Although pancreatico-jejunostomy reconstruction with transperitoneal drainage is the standard operative approach for most authorities, uncertainty emerges regarding the employment of objective risk stratification and adaptation of practice to risk. Concrete suggestions are offered to inform decision-making in intimidating circumstances. Early drain removal is frequently embraced, while a step-up approach is unanimously invoked to treat severe clinically relevant pancreatic fistula.
    Conclusion: A comprehensive conceptual framework of 4 sequential phases of decision-making is proposed-risk assessment, anastomotic technique, mitigation strategy employment, and postoperative management. Basic science studies and outcome analyses are proposed for improvement.

    Abstract Metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing (mNGS) allows the evaluation of complex microbial communities, avoiding isolation and cultivation of each microbial species, and does not require prior knowledge of the microbial sequences present in the sample. Applications of mNGS include virome characterization, new virus discovery and full-length viral genome reconstruction, either from virus preparations enriched in culture or directly from clinical and environmental specimens. Here, we systematically reviewed studies that describe novel virus identification through mNGS from samples of different origin (plant, animal and environment). Without imposing time limits to the search, 379 publications were identified that met the search parameters. Sample types, geographical origin, enrichment and nucleic acid extraction methods, sequencing platforms, bioinformatic analytical steps and identified viral families were described. The review highlights mNGS as a feasible method for novel virus discovery from samples of different origins, describes which kind of heterogeneous experimental and analytical protocols are currently used and provides useful information such as the different commercial kits used for the purification of nucleic acids and bioinformatics analytical pipelines.

    Abstract Background: Little is known about adjuvant therapy (AT) omission and use outside of randomized trials. We aimed to assess the patterns of AT omission and use in a cohort of upfront resected pancreatic cancer patients in a real-life scenario.
    Methods: From January 2019 to July 2022, 317 patients with resected pancreatic cancer and operated upfront were prospectively enrolled in this prospective observational trial according to the previously calculated sample size. The association between perioperative variables and the risk of AT omission and AT delay was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.
    Results: Eighty patients (25.2%) did not receive AT. The main reasons for AT omission were postoperative complications (38.8%), oncologist's choice (21.2%), baseline comorbidities (20%), patient's choice (10%), and early recurrence (10%). At the multivariable analysis, the odds of not receiving AT increased significantly for older patients (odds ratio [OR] 1.1, p < 0.001), those having an American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥II (OR 2.03, p = 0.015), or developing postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR 2.5, p = 0.019). The likelihood of not receiving FOLFIRINOX as AT increased for older patients (OR 1.1, p < 0.001), in the presence of early-stage disease (stage I-IIa vs. IIb-III, OR 2.82, p =0.031; N0 vs. N+, OR 3, p = 0.03), and for patients who experienced postoperative major complications (OR 4.7, p = 0.009). A twofold increased likelihood of delay in AT was found in patients experiencing postoperative complications (OR 3.86, p = 0.011).
    Conclusions: AT is not delivered in about one-quarter of upfront resected pancreatic cancer patients. Age, comorbidities, and postoperative complications are the main drivers of AT omission and mFOLFIRINOX non-use.
