    Abstract Objectives: To compare hospitals that did and did not participate in clinical trials evaluating potential inpatient COVID-19 therapeutics.
    Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of hospitals participating in trials that were registered on clinicaltrials.gov between April and August 2020. Using the 2019 RAND Hospital Dataset and 2019 American Community Survey, we used logistic regression modeling to compare hospital-level traits including demographic features between trial and non-trial hospitals.
    Results: We included 488 hospitals that were participating in 298 interventional trials and 4232 non-participating hospitals. After controlling for demographic and other hospital traits, we found that teaching status (OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.52-2.95), higher patient acuity (OR 7.48, 4.39, 13.1), and location in the Northeast (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.18, 2.85) and in wealthier counties (OR: 1.32, 95% CI 1.16-1.51) were associated with increased odds of trial participation, while being in counties with more White residents was associated with reduced odds (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.98-0.99).
    Conclusions: Hospitals participating and not participating in COVID-19 inpatient treatment clinical trials differed in many ways, resulting in important implications for the generalizability of trial data.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers that enable the prediction of delisting from tumor progression versus successful transplantation in patients listed for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
    Methods: With IRB approval and HIPPA compliance, patients with HCC awaiting OLT who were delisted due to HCC progression from 2006 to 2015 were identified. Patients with adequate MR images for review were subsequently matched with a cohort of patients successfully bridged to OLT in the same time period. Matching considered the tumor stage and the dominant treatment strategy adopted to bridge the patient to OLT. Potential MRI features were evaluated by univariable and multivariable analysis using a conditional logistic model.
    Results: There were 53 patients included in each cohort. On uni-variable analysis, significant unfavorable MR imaging features included T2 hyperintensity (odds ratio [OR], 19.0), infiltrative border (OR, 7.50), lobulated shape (OR, 4.5), T1 hypointensity (OR, 3.0), heterogeneous arterial enhancement (OR, 7.0), and corona venous enhancement (OR, 4.0). A significant favorable MR imaging feature was the presence of intralesional fat (OR = .36). The best multivariable logistic prediction model derived from the above notable features included only T1 and T2 signal intensity, border definition, and absence of intra-lesional fat as significant variables, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of .86 in the prediction of delisting.
    Conclusion: Select MR imaging features of HCC at presentation before any treatment are significantly associated with the risk of tumor progression regardless of tumor stage and treatment strategy in patients awaiting liver transplantation.

    Abstract The biorefinery concept is a framework to address the concerns raised by single product extraction from renewable resources. Whereas single product extraction can involve high costs and generate large amounts of waste, the biorefinery process aims to fully utilise the biomass to produce multiple products and energy together. In this study, the step-by-step extraction of pigments, mannitol, phlorotannins, carbohydrates, alginates and residual seaweed from four species of brown seaweeds Carpophyllum flexuosum, Carpophyllum plumosum, Ecklonia radiata and Undaria pinnatifida was investigated. The yields, calculated based on algal dry weight of each product in each species of seaweed, were between 3.4 and 9.8% (pigments), 22.2–30.7% (mannitol), 0.1–5.1% (phlorotannins), 5.2–15.5% (alginates), 12.2–18.5% (other carbohydrates) and 13.5–19.5% (residual seaweed). The characterisation of each product fraction was performed and their potential applications are discussed. The results indicate that brown seaweeds are potential candidates for a biorefinery process to produce both value-added bio-materials and bio-energy.

    Abstract Shortage of organ donors is an ongoing limiting factor in lung transplantation (LT). Despite increasing prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, positive COVID-19 testing from a potential donor remains a contraindication at many LT centers. In this report, we present the outcomes of LT utilizing an algorithm based on donor clinical presentation, and COVID-19 real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with cycle threshold (Ct) values evaluation. The Ct value threshold for organ acceptance was >35. A total of 8 COVID-positive donors were included. No donor-to-recipient transmissions of COVID-19 were observed. Short-term outcomes were comparable to those reported in pre-COVID literature. Survival-to-date is 100% with median POD of 161 days. Our findings support the safety and efficacy of utilizing our algorithm including Ct value threshold for selection of donors with incidental COVID-19 positive testing.

    Abstract Many marine animals migrate between foraging areas and reproductive sites, often timing the return migration with extreme precision. In theory, the decision to return should reflect energy acquisition at foraging areas, energetic costs associated with transit, and timing arrival for successful reproduction. For long-distance migrations to be successful, animals must integrate 'map' information to assess where they are relative to their reproductive site as well as 'calendar' information to know when to initiate the return migration given their distance from home

    Abstract By using lignin model compounds with relevant key characteristic structural features, the reaction pathways of α-O-4 aryl ether linkages under hydrothermal conditions are elucidated. Experimental results and computational modeling suggest that the α-O-4 linkages in lignin undergo catalyzed hydrolysis and elimination to give phenolic and alkenylbenzene derivatives as major products in subcritical water. The decreased relative permittivity of water at these high temperatures and pressures facilitates the elimination reactions. The alkyl group on the α-carbon and the methoxy groups on the phenyl rings both have positive effects on the rate of conversion of α-O-4 linkages in native lignin.
