    Abstract Background: Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with recurrent nodules and abscesses that culminate in purulent discharge and scarring. It has significant physical, psychological and financial impact.
    Objectives: This study plans to analyse patient costs associated with HS. Direct costs include prescription items. Indirect or out-of-pocket costs include dressings, analgesia, and healthcare-related travel costs. This study will also assess disease impact on quality-of-life (QOL).
    Methods: Patients with HS diagnosis attending dermatology OPD at our public tertiary centre were invited to participate. Ethical approval was secured, and informed consent was obtained. Participants completed an anonymous survey which was analysed to identify costs associated with HS as well as demographics and QOL impact.
    Results: A total of 25 patients completed the survey; median age was 29% and 80% were female. Median time from HS onset to diagnosis was 2 years, with 24% waiting >10 years to be diagnosed. In the past 3 months, 20% spent >€200 in both categories; prescription and non-prescription items. In the non-prescription category, 36% of patients reported expenditure >€100 in the past 3 months. Dressings were the most common out-of-pocket expense (in 15/25 patients), followed by analgesia and protective clothing. Attendance at medical appointments cost 24% of patients €50-€200. Four participants reported difficulty accessing HS treatments due to associated costs. Mean number of absence days from work/education as result of HS was 8.7 in the past 3 months. Two patients reported being on disability allowance, and two on unemployment benefit as result of their skin disorder. In the QOL question; 96% reported disease impact on QOL, and 11 participants reported that it affected their life 'very much'.
    Conclusions: HS is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with significant financial burden alongside the well-analysed biopsychosocial disease impact. Financial burden can be divided into direct prescription costs and indirect costs such as non-prescription items, protective clothing and travel costs which we have explored in this study. Further research is needed in this area to identify and optimise both the financial and QOL implications of HS in acute flares and chronic disease management.

    Abstract Mental representations of stimuli that are not physically present are critical for a range of cognitive capacities, including perception, memory, and learning. Overly robust mental representations, however, can contribute to hallucinations in healthy individuals and those diagnosed with psychotic illness. Measuring the strength of mental representations can thus provide insight into how the contents of the mind influence both adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. In rodents, the robustness of mental representations has been tested using the representation-mediated learning (RML) task, in which animals respond less to a cue after a stimulus that has previously been associated with this cue has been paired with illness. This suggests that the mental representation of the cue enters into a negative association during aversive learning, even though the cue is not physically present. Here, we developed a human version of the RML task in which participants initially learned associations between two visual symbols and two different appetitive food odors. Preference for the food odors was then tested immediately before and after a session in which one symbol was paired with an aversive noise. We observed that mediated learning, in the form of selective decrease in preference for the odor previously paired with the noise-predicting symbol, was directly proportional to direct aversive learning for the symbols themselves. These findings suggest that a mental representation of the odor entered into a negative association with the sound and pave the way for future studies aimed at characterizing the neural circuits of mediated learning in the human brain.

    Abstract The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) plays a prominent role in signaling reward expectations. Two important features of rewards are their value (how good they are) and their specific identity (what they are). Whereas research on OFC has traditionally focused on reward value, recent findings point toward a pivotal role of reward identity in understanding OFC signaling and its contribution to behavior. Here, we review work in rodents, nonhuman primates, and humans on how the OFC represents expectations about the identity of rewards, and how these signals contribute to outcome-guided behavior. Moreover, we summarize recent findings suggesting that specific reward expectations in OFC are learned and updated by means of identity errors in the dopaminergic midbrain. We conclude by discussing how OFC encoding of specific rewards complements recent proposals that this region represents a cognitive map of relevant task states, which forms the basis for model-based behavior.

    Abstract One of the most feared complications of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is stroke, with increased mortality and disability observed in patients suffering a stroke after TAVI. There has been no significant decline in stroke rates seen over the last 5 years; attention has therefore been given to strategies for cerebral embolic protection. With the emergence of new randomized trial data, we sought to perform an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the effect of cerebral embolic protection during TAVI both on clinical outcomes and on neuroimaging parameters. We performed a random-effects meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials of cerebral embolic protection during TAVI. The primary end point was the risk of stroke. The risk of stroke was not significantly different with the use of cerebral embolic protection: relative risk (RR) 0.88, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.57 to 1.36, p = 0.566. Nor was there a significant reduction in the risk of disabling stroke, non-disabling stroke or death. There was no significant difference in total lesion volume on MRI with cerebral embolic protection: mean difference -74.94, 95% CI -174.31 to 24.4, p = 0.139. There was also not a significant difference in the number of new ischemic lesions on MRI: mean difference -2.15, 95% -5.25 to 0.96, p = 0.176, although there was significant heterogeneity for the neuroimaging outcomes. In conclusion, cerebral embolic protection during TAVI is safe but there is no evidence of a statistically significant benefit on clinical outcomes or neuroimaging parameters.
