Abstract	Postbaccalaureate programs help predental students strengthen their basic science knowledge and improve their study skills before applying or reapplying for dental school admission. A high percentage of postbac students are admitted to and graduate from dental schools, but gaining greater understanding of how well these students perform in key areas of the first two years' curriculum would be useful for the design of those programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate postbac dental students' performance in the D1 and D2 years at one U.S. dental school compared to dental students with a four-year baccalaureate degree only. Performance assessed was the students' dental school grades in basic science courses, in all D1 and D2 didactic courses, and on preclinical simulation lab practical exams. Didactic and practical scores were gathered anonymously for the Classes of 2013-18 at the College of Dental Medicine-Arizona (CDMA) at Midwestern University, where postbac students with master's degrees from the affiliated College of Health Sciences made up 6-19% of each class. The two cohorts chosen for comparison were students with baccalaureate degrees only and students with one-year Master of Arts degrees from the College of Health Sciences. The scores of these postbac dental students and their non-postbac peers were found to be comparable in the basic science courses. However, for all the didactic courses combined, the non-postbac cohort had significantly higher mean scores than the postbac cohort for the fall quarter 2 and winter quarter 2 in 2013-15 and all years combined. The practical scores for the two cohorts were not significantly different for any year. Overall, this study demonstrated that the MA program in the College of Health Sciences prepared the postbac students to compete on an equal level with the non-postbac students in the CDMA D1 and D2 curriculum.

Abstract	Objective: Kratom preparations have raised concerns of public health and safety in the United States. This paper analyzed the patterns and predictors of kratom use by four U.S. regions according to the U.S. Census. Method: An anonymous cross-sectional online survey yielded 8,049 valid responses. The data were categorised by regions (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West) and analyzed for the following predictors: age, gender, marital status, ethnicity, employment status, insurance coverage, education, and household income. Results: After adjusting for state population, the survey response rates were highest from Oregon, Idaho, and Florida. Kratom use was significantly lower for both prescription drug dependency and acute or chronic pain in the Northeast region than the rest of the country. Multiple logistic regression models found that gender, employment, and education were significant on the regional level. Higher education was associated with lower kratom use for an illicit drug dependency (p = .002) independent of region whereas men were less likely to use kratom for acute or chronic pain in the Northeast (p < .001) but more likely in the Midwest (p = .041). Conclusions: The regional pattern of kratom use differed from opioid use data in both demographics and trend direction warranting further investigation.

Abstract	Background/objectives: Ulceration is a common complication of infantile hemangioma (IH). Severe, persistent ulceration occurs in a minority of patients. This study aims to characterize the clinical features of IH with aggressive ulceration (AU). Methods: Multicenter retrospective study of clinical features of IH with AU. Results: Thirty-five patients with AU were identified and included in the study. The majority of AU occurred in segmental IH (23/35, 65%). Segmental IH with AU were large (≥10 cm Conclusions: IH resulting in AU differ in clinical features by anatomic site. Those in the diaper area are nearly always segmental with thin superficial component, whereas other sites tend to be localized, mixed, with thick superficial component. These distinct phenotypes may prove useful in the clinical setting for physicians to identify patterns of IH ulceration with increased risk of aggressive, persistent ulceration.

Abstract	Objectives: To determine whether diagnosed pre-existing health conditions correlate with Kratom demographics and use patterns. Methods: A cross-sectional, anonymous US national online survey was conducted among 8049 Kratom users in October, 2016 to obtain demographic, health, and Kratom use pattern information. Results: People who use Kratom to mitigate illicit drug dependence self-reported less pain and better overall health than individuals who used Kratom for acute/chronic pain. Self-reported improvements in pre-existing mental health symptoms (attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder/attention deficit disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression) attributed to Kratom use were greater than those related to somatic symptoms (back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, chronic pain, fibromyalgia). Demographic variables, including female sex, older age, employment status, and insurance coverage correlated with increased likelihood of Kratom use. Conclusions: Kratom use may serve as a self-treatment strategy for a diverse population of patients with pre-existing health diagnoses. Healthcare providers need to be engaging with patients to address safety concerns and potential limitations of its use in clinical practice for specific health conditions.

Abstract	Background: The use of intravenous acetaminophen has seen recent enthusiasm as one component of a multimodal approach to pain management. However, there is a lack of literature examining the efficacy of intravenous acetaminophen for pain control in total joint arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous acetaminophen following primary total knee arthroplasty. Methods: This is a retrospective review of 38 patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty by a single surgeon at one institution. Twenty-five patients received 1 gram of intravenous acetaminophen every 6 hours for 24 hours postoperatively. Thirteen patients received no additional intervention. Exclusion criteria were bilateral or concomitant procedures, allergy to medications included in the standard postoperative protocol, neuropathy or sensory disturbances, history of opioid dependence or abuse, deviations from protocol, revision procedures, and incomplete data. Primary outcomes were change in patient-reported visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, overall opioid consumption measured in morphine milligram equivalents, and hospital length of stay. Results: We found no difference in length of stay, at 3.3 days in the control group and 2.9 days in the intervention group. There was a significant difference in VAS score between 16 and 24 hours. There was a statistically significant decrease in overall opioid consumption in the intravenous acetaminophen group 37.6 vs 18.6 morphine milligram equivalents. Conclusion: Intravenous acetaminophen is effective in significantly reducing opioid requirements in the first 24 hours following primary total knee arthroplasty. Additionally, there is a clinically significant decrease in VAS pain scores in patients receiving this intervention.

Abstract	Background: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a commonly used treatment for multiple myeloma (MM). This retrospective cohort study characterizes the risk factors and outcomes associated with bacteremia following ASCT at a single center. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis in subjects who underwent ASCT for multiple myeloma and other malignancies from May 2014 to March 2015 at a single center. The control cohort included all subjects undergoing ASCT in the same time period who did not develop bacteremia. Results: During the study period, 363 ASCTs were completed in 282 discrete patients. Bacteremia was documented in 13% of all transplants. Enterococcus faecium was the most frequent species overall (14/62, 23%). Vancomycin resistance was present in 93% of E faecium isolates. Bacteremia was associated with a significantly decreased survival in patients who received their transplant after the first year of myeloma treatment. Overall survival (OS) was not significantly different in the two cohorts among patients undergoing ASCT within the first year of myeloma treatment. Survival analysis showed a significantly decreased OS in patients who developed Enterococcus bacteremia as compared to the non-bacteremia cohort. Enterococcal bacteremia was associated with significantly longer duration of neutropenia (mean 14 vs 9.7 days, P = 0.01), hospitalization (mean 61.7 vs 20.4 days, P = 0.0006), and higher mortality (69% vs 25%, P = 0.01) as compared to other bacteremias. Conclusion: We found a high incidence of E faecium and a low incidence of MRSA and Pseudomonas bacteremias following ASCT in our patient population. Survival analysis in our cohort suggests that the effect of underlying disease status and cumulative chemotherapy is critically important in determining outcomes related to bacteremia. Enterococcal bacteremias following ASCT were associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality than non-enterococcal bacteremias.

Abstract	FRAX is a commonly used tool to evaluate patient fracture risk based on individual patient models that integrate the risks associated with clinical risk factors with or without bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck. Retrospectively, factors identified by the FRAX scoring algorithm were used to predict the risk for vertebral compression fractures at baseline in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. The data were derived from myeloma patients enrolled in Total Therapy Protocols (TT4 & TT5) between 8/2008 and 9/2017. FRAX scores were calculated and baseline PET and MRI imaging obtained. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses determined the association between FRAX components and the existence of vertebral compression fractures, both pathologic and osteoporotic. The patient population had a median age of 61 years (43-76), 37% female, and 87% white. The median major osteoporotic score (MOS) and Hip fracture scores (HFS) for TT4 patients (low-risk myeloma) were 5.6 and 0.5, respectively, while median MOS and HFS for TT5 (high risk myeloma) patients were 6.2 and 0.7, respectively. The odds ratio for fracture at diagnosis in patients with elevated MOS (>2), and HFS (>4.5) was significant OR (1.48, 95% confidence interval (1.35,1.62)) and OR (1.61, 95% confidence interval (1.42, 1.81)), respectively. In sum, an elevated baseline FRAX score was highly predictive of baseline vertebral fractures in MM patients at presentation. In addition, patients with higher FRAX scores had significantly shorter survival in the low-risk (TT4) group but this survival effect was not seen in the high-risk (TT5) group. These findings suggest that FRAX assessment of baseline fracture risk is beneficial in MM patients to identify an individual patients' risk of vertebral fracture.

Abstract	Background: Gene expression profiling (GEP) via microarray analysis is a widely used tool for assessing risk and other patient diagnostics in clinical settings. However, non-biological factors such as systematic changes in sample preparation, differences in scanners, and other potential batch effects are often unavoidable in long-term studies and meta-analysis. In order to reduce the impact of batch effects on microarray data, Johnson, Rabinovic, and Li developed ComBat for use when combining batches of gene expression microarray data. We propose a modification to ComBat that centers data to the location and scale of a pre-determined, 'gold-standard' batch. This modified ComBat (M-Combat) is designed specifically in the context of meta-analysis and batch effect adjustment for use with predictive models that are validated and fixed on historical data from a 'gold-standard' batch. Results: We combined data from MIRT across two batches ('Old' and 'New' Kit sample preparation) as well as external data sets from the HOVON-65/GMMG-HD4 and MRC-IX trials into a combined set, first without transformation and then with both ComBat and M-ComBat transformations. Fixed and validated gene risk signatures developed at MIRT on the Old Kit standard (GEP5, GEP70, and GEP80 risk scores) were compared across these combined data sets. Both ComBat and M-ComBat eliminated all of the differences among probes caused by systematic batch effects (over 98% of all untransformed probes were significantly different by ANOVA with 0.01 q-value threshold reduced to zero significant probes with ComBat and M-ComBat). The agreement in mean and distribution of risk scores, as well as the proportion of high-risk subjects identified, coincided with the 'gold-standard' batch more with M-ComBat than with ComBat. The performance of risk scores improved overall using either ComBat or M-Combat; however, using M-ComBat and the original, optimal risk cutoffs allowed for greater ability in our study to identify smaller cohorts of high-risk subjects. Conclusion: M-ComBat is a practical modification to an accepted method that offers greater power to control the location and scale of batch-effect adjusted data. M-ComBat allows for historical models to function as intended on future samples despite known, often unavoidable systematic changes to gene expression data.

Abstract	Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health problem in the US. Specific preexisting medical illnesses delay recovery after TBI and increase mortality or risk of repeat TBI. This study examined the impact of preexisting illness and substance use on patient rehabilitation outcomes following TBI. The Functional Independence Measure total score and Disability Rating Scale score measured functional outcomes at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, while the Trail Making Test A and B and Total Trials 1-5 of the California Verbal Learning Test-II measured neuropsychological outcomes in 128 TBI survivors with moderate or severe TBI. Results showed that the presence of a heart condition or diabetes/high blood sugar was associated with lower functional outcomes by discharge. A history of a heart condition, stroke, or respiratory condition prior to TBI was associated with reduced cognitive flexibility. Those with preexisting diabetes/high blood sugar demonstrated poorer visual attention, visuomotor processing speed, and ability to learn and recall verbal information. Those with pre-TBI cancer also had greater auditory-verbal memory deficits. The findings showed that specific preexisting medical conditions are independently associated with lower functional and cognitive outcomes for patients with TBI. By screening patients for preexisting medical conditions, multidisciplinary TBI rehabilitation teams can identify patients who require more aggressive treatments or greater length of stay.
