    Abstract The subthalamic nucleus (STN) plays critical roles in the motor and cognitive function of the basal ganglia (BG), but the exact nature of these roles is not fully understood, especially in the context of decision-making based on uncertain evidence. Guided by theoretical predictions of specific STN contributions, we used single-unit recording and electrical microstimulation in the STN of healthy monkeys to assess its causal, computational roles in visual-saccadic decisions based on noisy evidence. The recordings identified subpopulations of STN neurons with distinct task-related activity patterns that related to different theoretically predicted functions. Microstimulation caused changes in behavioral choices and response times that reflected multiple contributions to an "accumulate-to-bound"-like decision process, including modulation of decision bounds and evidence accumulation, and to non-perceptual processes. These results provide new insights into the multiple ways that the STN can support higher brain function.

    Abstract Background: Urinary and fecal incontinence are disabling impairments after stroke that can be clinically managed with electrical stimulation.
    Aim: The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the effectiveness of non-implanted electrical stimulation to reduce the severity of post-stroke incontinence.
    Summary of review: Clinical trials of non-implanted electrical stimulation applied for the purposes of treating post-stroke incontinence were searched in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDro, and CENTRAL. From a total of 5043 manuscripts, 10 trials met the eligibility criteria (
    Conclusions: Published trials evaluating the effect of non-implanted electrical stimulation on post-stroke incontinence are few and heterogenous. Synthesized trials suggest that early and frequent treatment using electrical stimulation is probably more effective than sham or no treatment. Further trials measuring incontinence in an objective manner are required.

    Abstract Background: Eliminating animal testing for skin sensitization is a significant challenge in consumer safety risk assessment. To be able to perform resilient risk assessments in the future, one will need alternative approaches to fill the data gaps.
    Objectives: To this end, we propose a subcategory-based read-across approach to estimate and rank skin sensitization potential of chemicals. The example described here is for the mechanism of Michael-type nucleophilic addition with subcategories being limited to carbonyl-containing compounds.
    Patients/methods: In this approach, in silico tools based on structural alerts were used to determine both the mechanism of protein binding and the relative subcategories within that mechanism.
    Results: Fifty compounds previously evaluated in the in vivo mouse local lymph node assay (LLNA) were placed in 10 subcategories defined by their polarized alpha,beta-unsaturated substructure. To offset the limitations and skewness of the published in vivo data, in chemico glutathione (GSH) depletion data also were included.
    Conclusions: It was shown that the read-across approach can be successfully used to rank qualitatively skin sensitization potential of an untested carbonyl-containing Michael acceptor chemical by using subcategories. Moreover, the use of the more resilient in chemico GSH depletion data added further support to the read-across result.

    Abstract Context: Toxic shock syndrome has been shown previously to be associated with hyperamylasaemia. However, serum amylase levels do not usually exceed three times upper limit of normal in these cases.
    Case report: We report a case of a young girl of 17 years who presented with upper abdominal pain, severe shock and raised serum amylase level of 3,898 U/L, giving an impression of severe acute pancreatitis. It was only after finding a tampon in her vagina, and subsequently growing Staphylococcus aureus in her blood cultures, did the diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome become apparent. She recovered fully with supportive treatment and appropriate antibiotics.
    Conclusions: Toxic shock syndrome with such a high level of serum amylase has not been previously reported. This case exemplifies the importance of repeated clinical evaluation of patients in this era of multiple investigations, and not simply relying on biochemical values for diagnosis.

    Abstract Regulatory recommendations for providing bioanalytical support for biological therapeutics have co-evolved with the increasing success of these unique pharmaceuticals. Immunoassays have been used to quantify biological macromolecules for more than 50 years. These assays rely on the use of antigen-specific antibodies. More recently, LC-MS methods have being adapted to quantitate biologics. LC-MS has attributes that complement the limitations encountered by immunoassays. Whether employing immunoassay or LC-MS methods, compared with traditional chemical-based therapeutics, biological therapeutics present unique analytical challenges to analysts. In this article, we review bioanalytical strategies for supporting biologics and discuss the regulatory and analytical challenges that must be met.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of human dementia. The lack of diagnostic tests and limited therapeutic options has driven the search for endogenous biomarkers. The INNO-BIA AlzBio3 assay is a multiplex flow-based immunoassay measuring Aβ42, tau, and p-tau in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This study assesses assays performance under varying bead count (BC) parameters. Original method validation parameters at 100 BC were acceptable. Reanalyses performed at 3, 10, 25, and 50 BCs were compared to 100 BC data by ANOVA, Bland-Altman analysis, evaluation of concordance correlation coefficients, and frequency distribution of coefficient of variation (CV) ranges. Method validation characteristics were acceptable with 100 BCs. Equivalency for 25 and 50 versus 100 BCs was demonstrated, but not for 3 and 10 BCs. A general trend of decreasing agreement between decreasing BCs and the 100 BC reference resulted in decreases in concordance coefficients ρ(c) . The frequency of CV values greater than 20% increased with decreasing BCs, and CV values of 5% or less decreased with decreased BCs. Statistical analyses demonstrate that BCs of 3 and 10 are not equivalent with the reference and should not be used as a basis for determination of Aβ42, tau, and p-tau concentration in human CSF.

    Abstract Steroids have been the foundation of multiple myeloma therapy for more than 30 years and continue to be prescribed as single agents and in combination with other antimyeloma drugs, including novel therapies. Steroids cause a wide range of side effects that affect almost every system of the body. Identification and prompt management of the toxicities contribute to the success of steroid-containing antimyeloma regimens. By following patients carefully and educating them and their caregivers, nurses can promote adherence to therapy and improve quality of life. The International Myeloma Foundation's Nurse Leadership Board developed this consensus statement for the management of steroid-associated side effects to be used by healthcare providers in any medical setting.

    Abstract There is increasing recognition that norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (NRIs and SRIs) are efficacious in treating some types of pain. To date, studies have not systematically evaluated the relative activity at the NE and/or 5-HT transporter required for maximal efficacy in rodent pain models. Known selective NE and 5-HT reuptake inhibitors reboxetine, desipramine, fluoxetine, and paroxetine were evaluated in both in vitro and in vivo assays. Using the spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain, the compounds differentially reversed tactile allodynia. Evaluation of a broader spectrum of reuptake inhibitors in the para-phenylquinone (PPQ)-induced abdominal constriction model, a model of acute visceral pain, demonstrated that both the SRIs and the NRIs significantly blocked abdominal constrictions. However, the magnitude of this effect was greater following treatment with compounds having greater affinity for NRI compared with SRI affinity. In addition, isobolographic analyses indicated significant synergistic effects for all combinations of desipramine and fluoxetine in the PPQ model of visceral pain. Collectively, the present results support the hypothesis that compounds with greater NRI activity should be more effective for the treatment of pain than compounds having only SRI activity, and this hypothesis is also supported by clinical data. These studies also suggest that the potency and effectiveness of NRIs might be enhanced by the presence of 5-HT activity.
