    Abstract Objectives: To develop a suprapubic catheter (SPC) training model as no specific realistic training model exists to replicate SPC exchange where a catheter tract is present.
    Materials and methods: We describe a novel, anatomically realistic, animal simulator model for use in SPC training, which was trialed at a national urology simulation boot camp by new urology trainees and validated by expert urologists. A scale reproduction of an abdominal wall was created using a porcine abdominal wall. A segment of small bowel was stitched around a size 16F Foley catheter to form a tract. Abdominal wall tissue was excised cylindrically to create an opening, and the small bowel tract was passed through the abdominal wall and sutured anteriorly, producing a realistic SPC tract: inferiorly, the tract was anastomosed to a porcine urinary bladder. This model was evaluated by 10 expert urologists for content validity with an 8-item 5-point rating scale used to evaluate domains relevant to the simulator.
    Results: The domains were scored between 1 and 5 by 10 expert urologists, 1 being «strongly disagree» and 5 being «strongly agree». The average expert ratings of the domains were then calculated and tabulated following the training course. There was an average global rating of 4.2/5 for the model, with an average usefulness for training score of 4.6/5.
    Conclusion: The feedback from experts and trainees (informal) was overwhelmingly positive. On average, our experts reported high satisfaction with their experience using this simulator as a training tool.

    Abstract A therapeutic vaccine that induces lasting control of HIV infection could eliminate the need for lifelong adherence to antiretroviral therapy. This study investigated a therapeutic DNA vaccine delivered with a single adjuvant or a novel combination of adjuvants to augment T cell immunity in the blood and gut-associated lymphoid tissue in SIV-infected rhesus macaques. Animals that received DNA vaccines expressing SIV proteins, combined with plasmids expressing adjuvants designed to increase peripheral and mucosal T cell responses, including the catalytic subunit of the E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin, IL-12, IL-33, retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2, soluble PD-1 and soluble CD80, were compared to mock-vaccinated controls. Following treatment interruption, macaques exhibited variable levels of viral rebound, with four animals from the vaccinated groups and one animal from the control group controlling virus at median levels of 103 RNA copies/ml or lower (controllers) and nine animals, among all groups, exhibiting immediate viral rebound and median viral loads greater than 103 RNA copies/ml (non-controllers). Although there was no significant difference between the vaccinated and control groups in protection from viral rebound, the variable virological outcomes during treatment interruption enabled an examination of immune correlates of viral replication in controllers versus non-controllers regardless of vaccination status. Lower viral burden in controllers correlated with increased polyfunctional SIV-specific CD8+ T cells in mesenteric lymph nodes and blood prior to and during treatment interruption. Notably, higher frequencies of colonic CD4+ T cells and lower Th17/Treg ratios prior to infection in controllers correlated with improved responses to ART and control of viral rebound. These results indicate that mucosal immune responses, present prior to infection, can influence efficacy of antiretroviral therapy and the outcome of immunotherapeutic vaccination, suggesting that therapies capable of modulating host mucosal responses may be needed to achieve HIV cure.

    Abstract Objectives: To correlate radiation dose to specific tooth-bearing portions of bone with adverse dental outcomes.
    Study design: Eighty-nine patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy had radiation dose to specific tooth-bearing portions of the mandible and the maxilla. Data were collected prospectively during treatment planning, which resulted in 2490 data points. These patients underwent a comprehensive dental intake evaluation that included measurement of pocket depths and were then followed up with serial dental evaluations for a median of 2.5 years (range 0.2-6.9 years).
    Results: At the patient level, the 3-year risks of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and periodontal disease were 2.5% and 36.6%, respectively. For any individual tooth, the risks of ORN and periodontal disease were 0.1% and 5.1%, respectively, at 3 years. Radiation dose to individual tooth-bearing portions of bone was correlated with ORN development (P = .0165). Periodontal disease also demonstrated a significant, but more gradual, dose response (P = .0395).
    Conclusions: Adverse dental outcomes directly correlate with increased tooth-specific doses.

    Abstract Since late 2020, SARS-CoV-2 variants have regularly emerged with competitive and phenotypic differences from previously circulating strains, sometimes with the potential to escape from immunity produced by prior exposure and infection. The Early Detection group is one of the constituent groups of the US National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases SARS-CoV-2 Assessment of Viral Evolution program. The group uses bioinformatic methods to monitor the emergence, spread, and potential phenotypic properties of emerging and circulating strains to identify the most relevant variants for experimental groups within the program to phenotypically characterize. Since April 2021, the group has prioritized variants monthly. Prioritization successes include rapidly identifying most major variants of SARS-CoV-2 and providing experimental groups within the National Institutes of Health program easy access to regularly updated information on the recent evolution and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 that can be used to guide phenotypic investigations.
