Abstract	Since the onset of COVID-19, social protest has expanded significantly. Little, however, has been written on prison-led and prison justice organizing in the wake of the pandemic-particularly in the Canadian context. This article is a case study of prisoner organizing in Canada throughout the first 18 months of COVID-19, which draws on qualitative interviews, media, and documentary analysis. We argue that the pandemic generated conditions under which the grievances raised by prisoners, and the strategies through which they were articulated, made possible a discursive bridge to the anxieties and grievances experienced by those in the community, thinning the walls of state-imposed societal exclusion. We demonstrate that prisons are sites of fierce contestation and are deeply embedded in, rather than separate from, our society. An important lesson learned from this case study is the need for prison organizing campaigns to strategically embrace multi-issue framing and engage in sustained coalition building.

Abstract	Abstract: Several vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) clinical severity scales have recently been proposed. In this prospective case series, we characterized histopathology in the context of clinical severity in 6 treatment-naïve postmenopausal patients with VLS. The Vulvar Quality of Life Index (VQLI) and an adaptation of the 2018 International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease Delphi consensus VLS severity score were administered. Vulvar skin punch biopsies were obtained to measure inflammatory density, constituent inflammatory cells, thickness of the stratum corneum and other epidermal layers, dermal edema, and dermal sclerosis. Clinicopathologic correlations were assessed. Two cases demonstrated sparse inflammatory densities, 1 case demonstrated patchy and nodular inflammatory density, 1 case demonstrated dense lichenoid inflammatory density, and 2 cases demonstrated dense lichenoid and epitheliotropic inflammatory densities. Those patients who reported severe pruritus demonstrated the greatest lymphocytic inflammatory densities on histopathological examination. Both cases of ulceration or erosion were associated with severe VQLI scores. Severe VQLI scores were also associated with trends for higher average thickness of the epidermal layers and of dermal sclerosis. Altogether, histopathologic grading of biopsy sites may reflect clinical severity in patients with VLS.

Abstract	Purpose of review: Antibiotic stress can evoke considerable genotypic and phenotypic changes in Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we review recent studies describing altered virulence expression in response to cell wall-acting antibiotics and discuss mechanisms that coordinate regulation of the antibiotic response. Recent findings: Pleiotropic effects induced by antibiotic exposure include alterations to bacterial metabolism, cell wall structure and antibiotic resistance. In addition, subinhibitory concentrations of cell wall-active (CWA) antibiotics have increasingly been shown to induce the production of exotoxins and biofilm formation that may influence virulence. Remarkably, phenotypes associated with comparable antibiotic stresses can vary considerably, emphasizing the need to better understand the response to CWA antibiotics. Recent studies support both direct antibiotic recognition and recognition of antibiotic-induced stress to the bacterial cell wall. Specifically, bacterial two-component systems, penicillin-binding protein and serine/threonine kinase-associated kinases and conserved oxidative-stress sensors each contribute to modulating the antibiotic stress response. Summary: Bacterial sensory systems and global regulators coordinate signaling in response to CWA antibiotics. Regulation of the antibiotic response is complex and involves integration of signals from multiple response pathways. A better definition of the antibiotic stress response among Gram-positive pathogens may yield novel therapeutic targets to counter antibiotic resistance and virulence factor expression.

Article ; Online: Is there a role for referral of high-risk patients seen in preoperative medical consultation for postoperative inpatient follow-up?

Abstract	The potential benefit of referring select high-risk surgical patients who are seen during a preoperative medical consultation for postoperative inpatient medical follow-up is uncertain. Over a seven-year period, our internal medicine perioperative clinic referred 5% of 4642 preoperative consults for postoperative follow-up. A retrospective chart review found that although reasons for referral were heterogeneous, those assessed by the medical consult team postoperatively were more comorbid, had more adverse medical complications and had longer hospital admissions compared to those not referred. Physicians were best able to predict adverse cardiac and diabetes-related complications. Half of the patients who were referred for postoperative assessment were lost to follow-up, and there was a trend towards increased hospital readmissions in this group. Further research is required to identify the subset of patients who might benefit from postoperative inpatient medical assessment.

Abstract	Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a progressive skin disease of unknown etiology. In this longitudinal case-control exploratory study, we evaluated the hormonal and microbial landscapes in 18 postmenopausal women (mean [SD] age: 64.4 [8.4]) with vulvar lichen sclerosus and controls. We reevaluated the VLS patients after 10-14 weeks of daily topical Class I steroid. We found that groin cutaneous estrone was lower in vulvar lichen sclerosus versus controls (-22.33, 95% CI -36.96 to -7.70; P = 0.006); cutaneous progesterone was higher (5.73, 95% CI 3.74 to 7.73; P< 0.0001). Forehead 11-deoxycortisol (-0.24, 95% CI -0.42 to -0.06; P = 0.01) and testosterone (-7.22, 95% CI -12.83 to -1.62; P = 0.02) were lower in disease. With treatment, cutaneous estrone (-7.88, 95% CI -44.07 to 28.31; P = 0.62), progesterone (2.02, 95% CI -2.08 to 6.11; P = 0.29), and 11-deoxycortisol (-0.13, 95% CI -0.32 to 0.05; P = 0.15) normalized; testosterone remained suppressed (-7.41, 95% CI -13.38 to -1.43; P = 0.02). 16S rRNA V1-V3 and ITS1 amplicon sequencing revealed bacterial and fungal microbiome alterations in disease. Findings suggest that cutaneous sex hormone and bacterial microbiome alterations may be associated with VLS in postmenopausal women.

Abstract	The dietary contributions of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) from cereals are determined by concentrations, locations and chemical forms. A genetically biofortified wheat line showed higher concentrations of Zn and Fe than three control lines when grown over two years. The mineral distributions determined using imaging (histochemical staining and LA-ICP-MS), sequential pearling and hand dissection showed no consistent differences between the two lines. Fe was most abundant in the aleurone layer and the scutellum and Zn in the scutellar epithelium, the endosperm transfer cells and embryonic axis. Pearling fractions showed positive correlations between the concentration of P and those of Zn and Fe in all fractions except the outermost layer. This is consistent with Fe and Zn being concentrated in phytates. Developing grains showed decreasing gradients in concentration from the proximal to the distal ends. The concentrations of Fe and Zn were therefore higher in the biofortified line than the control lines but their locations did not differ.

Abstract	The World Health Organization has declared antibiotic resistance "one of the biggest threats to global health." Mounting evidence suggests that antibiotic use in industrial-scale hog farming is contributing to the spread of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. To capture available evidence on these risks, we searched peer-reviewed studies published before June 2017 and conducted a meta-analysis of these studies' estimates of the prevalence of swine-associated, antibiotic-resistant S. aureus in animals, humans, and the environment. The 166 relevant studies revealed consistent evidence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in hog herds (55.3%) raised with antibiotics. MRSA prevalence was also substantial in slaughterhouse pigs (30.4%), industrial hog operation workers (24.4%), and veterinarians (16.8%). The prevalence of swine-associated, multidrug-resistant S. aureus (MDRSA)-with resistance to three or more antibiotics-is not as well documented. Nonetheless, sufficient studies were available to estimate MDRSA pooled prevalence in conventional hog operation workers (15.0%), workers' household members (13.0%), and community members (5.37%). Evidence also suggests that antibiotic-resistant S. aureus can be present in air, soil, water, and household surface samples gathered in or near high-intensity hog operations. An important caveat is that prevalence estimates for humans reflect colonization, not active infection, and the health risks of colonization remain poorly understood. In addition, these pooled results may not represent risks in specific locations, due to wide geographic variation. Nonetheless, these results underscore the need for additional preventive action to stem the spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens from livestock operations and a streamlined reporting system to track this risk.
