    Abstract Concern about adolescent diets, obesity, and the associated health risks have been growing in the United States. This inspired former First Lady Michelle Obama to spearhead the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA), which made changes to the national school lunch program by increasing servings of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Our study examined the variability of student carbohydrate sources throughout the day and before and after the implementation of HHFKA using a stable isotope dietary biomarker. This method uses carbon stable isotope values of exhaled CO2 breath (δ13Cbreath) and provides a quantitative, non-invasive measure. δ13Cbreath samples were collected throughout the day from students (n = 31) that attended a public high school in Salt Lake City, UT. δ13Cbreath measurements reflected the short-term carbohydrate inputs from the previous meal. Carbohydrate sources were not consistent throughout the day; most students had their lowest inputs of corn/sugar-based carbohydrates after lunch. We compared our results with an earlier study that had been conducted pre-HHFKA. After-lunch δ13Cbreath values decreased significantly between the two time points, suggesting an increase in whole grain, fruit, and vegetable carbohydrates in the lunch program. Our results demonstrated that δ13Cbreath measurements provide a valuable tool to examine carbohydrate sources in an individual's diet throughout the day. We believe that this tool could be beneficial to studies examining the relationship between sugar sweetened beverages, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates and health outcomes like diabetes and obesity in both adolescent and adult populations.

    Abstract Infection is an important cause of death during infancy worldwide and is a frequent etiology of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI). Procalcitonin (PCT) is a useful marker to diagnose infection in patients, and several studies report the stability of PCT after death. The added value of a biological marker, such as the PCT level in the blood, remains controversial in investigating SUDI. The aim of this study was to determine if PCT can help clinicians determine whether infection caused SUDI. We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study with the French SUDI registry (Observatoire National des Morts Inattendues du Nourrisson; OMIN). We collected data from this registry on children who died between May 2015 and June 2021. The levels of PCT in the blood of 540 SUDI patients were measured. We compared PCT and other biological tests performed in terms of infection status, autopsy results, and cause of death using clinical and biological data compiled by pediatricians at the SUDI referral center. PCT levels were significantly higher in the children who died from infection than in those who did not (0.12 µg/L vs. 0.08 µg/L, p < 0.001). A PCT blood level exceeding 0.2 µg/L was more frequently observed when infection was present than in the absence of infection (44.3% vs. 15.4%, p < 0.001). The same data were obtained with a 0.5 µg/L cut-off (36.1% with infection vs. 9.2% without, p < 0.001).  Conclusions: PCT is a sensitive biomarker for detecting infections postmortem; thus, additional samples may be necessary during autopsy. What is known: • PCT is a stable marker postmortem and increases earlier than CRP, i.e., 2-4 h after the beginning of an infection vs. 6 h. • PCT can be measured up to 140 h after death. What is new: • PCT is a sensitive marker for detecting infection in SUDI patients postmortem. • This test can reveal an infection from non-standardized samples obtained during autopsy if such an infection was not determined before death.

    Abstract Background: Use of hand sanitizers has become a cornerstone in clinical practice for the prevention of disease transmission between practitioners and patients. Traditionally, these preparations have relied on ethanol (60%-70%) for bactericidal action.
    Methods: This study was conducted to measure the persistence of antibacterial activity of 2 preparations. One was a non-alcohol-based formulation using benzalkonium chloride (BK) (0.12%) and the other was an ethanol-based formulation (63%) (comparator product). The persistence of antibacterial activity was measured against Staphylococcus aureus using a technique modification prescribed in American Society for Testing and Materials protocol E2752-10 at up to 4 hours after application.
    Results: The test product (BK) produced a marked reduction in colony-forming units at each of the 3 time points tested (3.75-4.16-log
    Discussion: In the course of patient care or examination, there are instances where opportunities exist for the practitioner's hands to become contaminated (eg, key boards and tables). Persistent antibacterial activity would reduce the chances of transfer to the patient.
    Conclusions: These results show a major improvement in persistent antibacterial activity for the BK formulation compared to the comparator ethanol-based formulation.

    Abstract The Tape Locking Screw (TLS(®)) system, developed in 2003, is a new anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction method that is based on three principles: one hamstring tendon is harvested, prepared into a short (50 to 60mm), four to five strand closed loop, with a diameter of 8 to 10mm and a 500N pre-load; the tunnels are shorter than usual (10 or 15mm) and created in a retrograde manner to match the diameter of each end of the graft. Maximum press-fit into the bone recesses is obtained by a specific graft introduction method; femoral and tibial fixation is provided by polyethylene terephthalate tape strips, or TLS(®) strips, that pass through each end of the closed tendon loop and attach to bone with a dedicated interference screw, the TLS(®) screw. Our preliminary clinical evaluation consisted of a follow-up of 134 patients.

    Title translation Role of radiotherapy in the multidisciplinary approach to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
    Abstract Pancreatic tumors have a very bad prognosis even after complete surgery. Radiotherapy has an important role to play either postoperative with associated chemotherapy or palliative and alone. Presently 5-FU is the most widely used molecule but gemcitabine is getting more and more acceptance. Intraoperative radiotherapy but especially preoperative radiotherapy seem to be two promising techniques.

    Abstract Background: Oncology clinical trials are complex, and the COVID-19 pandemic caused major disruptions in 2020.
    Methods: Using its networking and sharing of best practices, the Association of American Cancer Institutes, comprising 105 cancer centers, solicited a longitudinal series of voluntary surveys from members to assess how clinical trial office operations were affected. The surveys showed that centers were able to keep oncology trials available to patients while maintaining safety. Data were collected regarding interventional clinical trial accruals for the calendar years 2019, 2020, and 2021.
    Results: Data demonstrated a sizeable decrease in interventional treatment trial accruals in both 2020 and 2021 compared with prepandemic figures in 2019. No cancer center reported an increase in interventional treatment trial accruals in 2020 compared with 2019, with most centers reporting a moderate decrease. In mid-2022, 15% of respondents reported an increasing trend, 31% reported no significant change, and 54% continued to report a decrease.
    Conclusions: The pandemic necessitated rapid adoption of trial operations, with the emergence of several best practices, including remote monitoring, remote consenting, electronic research charts, and work-from-home strategies for staff. The national infrastructure to conduct trials was significantly affected by the pandemic, with noteworthy resiliency, evidenced by improvements in efficiencies and patient-centered care delivery but with residual capacity challenges that will be evident for the foreseeable future.
