    Abstract Several features in the mass spectrum of merging binary black holes (BBHs) have been identified using data from the Third Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3). These features are of particular interest as they may encode the uncertain mechanism of BBH formation. We determine if the identified features are statistically significant or the result of Poisson noise due to a finite number of observations. We simulate realistic catalogs of BBHs whose underlying distribution does not have the features of interest, apply the analysis previously performed on GWTC-3, and determine how often such features are spuriously found. We find that two of the features found in GWTC-3, the peaks at $\sim10\,M_{\odot}$ and $\sim35\,M_{\odot}$, cannot be explained by Poisson noise alone: peaks as significant occur in $<0.33\%$ of catalogs generated from a featureless population. These features are therefore likely to be of astrophysical origin. However, additional structure beyond a power law, such as the purported dip at $\sim14\,M_{\odot}$, can be explained by Poisson noise. We provide a publicly-available package, GWMockCat, that creates simulated catalogs of BBH events with realistic measurement uncertainty and selection effects according to user-specified underlying distributions and detector sensitivities.

    Abstract Signal-averaged electrocardiography and 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring were performed in 121 elderly patients > 6 months after acute myocardial infarction. All patients had asymptomatic complex ventricular arrhythmias and a left ventricular ejection fraction > or = 40%. Rates of sudden, cardiac, and total death were compared between groups with and without nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and between normal and abnormal signal-averaged electrocardiographic studies. The prevalence of an abnormal signal-averaged electrocardiographic study was 36%. Thirty-seven percent of the patients had nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, and the remaining patients had complex ventricular arrhythmias other than ventricular tachycardia. There were 27 sudden and 48 total cardiac deaths, and 66 deaths from all causes during a mean follow-up period of 30 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a lower rate of sudden and cardiac death in the group without nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. Although there was a trend toward a lower rate of sudden death in patients with a normal signal-averaged electrocardiogram, there was no statistical difference in the rates of sudden, total cardiac, or total death between patients with normal or abnormal studies. The negative predictive value of having neither an abnormal signal-averaged electrocardiogram nor nonsustained ventricular tachycardia was 94% for sudden death. In elderly patients with complex ventricular arrhythmias and ejection fraction > or = 40% at least 6 months after an acute myocardial infarction, presence of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia predicted a higher rate of sudden and cardiac death. Signal-averaged electrocardiography alone was not predictive.

    Abstract Prevalence of abnormal signal-averaged electrocardiography in normal populations appears to be low, but has not been studied previously in an asymptomatic elderly population. To study the prevalence of abnormal ventricular late potentials in an elderly population, a group of 51 subjects with no evidence of cardiac disease and ranging in age from 62 to 102 years underwent signal-averaged electrocardiography. Results were compared to a group of 179 patients similar in age but with complex ventricular arrhythmias, and to a group of 25 asymptomatic volunteers under the age of 50. The prevalence of an abnormal signal-averaged ECG was 14% in the normal elderly subjects, and 31% in the patients (P = 0.01), and 4% in the young subjects (P = NS). We conclude that the prevalence of abnormal ventricular late potentials in elderly patients without heart disease is similar to levels reported in other populations of normal controls, but elderly patients with cardiac disease have a significantly higher prevalence of abnormal signal-averaged ECG studies than the normals.

    Abstract Although there is a great deal of data on the accuracy of combined electrocardiographic-thallium exercise testing, little is known about the use of these tests in clinical practice. A quantitative likelihood system was employed to characterize referral patterns for such testing, and the impact of test results on the likelihood of coronary artery disease was examined. Two hundred thirteen subjects consecutively referred for the purpose of establishing or excluding the presence of coronary artery disease were studied. No subject had a history of a prior myocardial infarction. By historical evaluation, 96 had a low likelihood of coronary disease (less than or equal to 0.20), 88 an intermediate likelihood (0.21 to 0.80) and 29 a high likelihood (greater than 0.80). As anticipated from theoretical analyses, testing produced the greatest shifts in disease likelihood in subjects with an intermediate pretest disease likelihood, and confirmed the historical evaluation in patients at the extremes of pretest disease likelihood. Therefore, although electrocardiographic-thallium stress testing is best suited for subjects with intermediate pretest disease likelihood, the majority of referrals had either a high or low likelihood. Clinicians appear to value confirmatory results in patients at the extremes of pretest disease likelihood. Electrocardiographic exercise testing would serve a similar purpose.

    Abstract Background: Cefepime has been used in clinical therapeutic trials for meningitis, serious infection and febrile neutropenia, comprising more than 800 pediatric patients. This agent has also been used in patients 12 years of age and older with uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections including pyelonephritis, but not in younger patients. In this study the safety and efficacy of cefepime were compared with those of ceftazidime for treatment of pyelonephritis in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age.
    Methods: Two hundred ninety-nine pediatric patients (ages 1 month to 12 years) with pyelonephritis (300 episodes) were enrolled in a randomized, open label, multicenter trial. Individual results were evaluated by a blinded committee of experts. Cefepime was compared with ceftazidime, both administered parenterally at 50 mg/kg every 8 h. Patients were to receive the assigned study drug until at least 48 h after becoming afebrile. The i.v. treatment was then to be continued or replaced by oral trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole for a maximum of 12 to 14 days.
    Results: The predominant causative pathogens were Escherichia coli, 88%; Proteus spp., 6%; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 2%; and Klebsiella spp., 2%. Bacteriologic eradication was achieved in 96 and 94% of cefepime and ceftazidime patients, respectively, at the end of i.v. study drug treatment and was maintained in 94 and 91%, respectively, at the end of total study therapy. After study therapy bacteriologic eradication was maintained after 4 to 6 weeks in 86% of cefepime cases and in 83% of ceftazidime cases. A satisfactory clinical response occurred in 98 and 96% of cefepime and ceftazidime patients, respectively, at the end of i.v. treatment and in 93% at the end of total study therapy in both treatment arms. Drug-related clinical adverse events occurred in 14 cefepime patients (91%) and in 10 ceftazidime patients (7%).
    Conclusions: Cefepime and ceftazidime are equally safe and efficacious treatment for pyelonephritis in pediatric patients.

    Abstract Multi-messenger astrophysics is a fast-growing, interdisciplinary field that combines data, which vary in volume and speed of data processing, from many different instruments that probe the Universe using different cosmic messengers: electromagnetic waves, cosmic rays, gravitational waves and neutrinos. In this Expert Recommendation, we review the key challenges of real-time observations of gravitational wave sources and their electromagnetic and astroparticle counterparts, and make a number of recommendations to maximize their potential for scientific discovery. These recommendations refer to the design of scalable and computationally efficient machine learning algorithms; the cyber-infrastructure to numerically simulate astrophysical sources, and to process and interpret multi-messenger astrophysics data; the management of gravitational wave detections to trigger real-time alerts for electromagnetic and astroparticle follow-ups; a vision to harness future developments of machine learning and cyber-infrastructure resources to cope with the big-data requirements; and the need to build a community of experts to realize the goals of multi-messenger astrophysics.
