Authors: Silverman Natalie , Beck Michelle , Hall Danielle , Hartman Amy , Bendixen Roxanna 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
Our longitudinal study is exploring the feasibility and reliability of using actigraphy as a meaningful outcome measure in children ages four through seven involved in a clinical trial. Our data examine activity levels and sleep patterns in boys with DMD in their natural environment throughout the drug trial. We hypothesize that using activity monitoring as an outcome measure will provide a meaningful view of daytime and nighttime activity for these young boys to show treatment effect.

Comparing the Predictors of Theory-of-Mind–Related Social Interaction (ToM-Related Social Interaction) in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Related to Verbal Comprehension
Authors: Mao Shih-Yao , Yu Yen-Ting , Chiu Hsiu Man , Tsai Ching-Hong , Li Hsing-Jung , Chen Kuan-Lin 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
The results showed that children with normal verbal comprehension had better performance in ToM-related social interaction than those with delayed verbal comprehension. However, children’s symptom severities significantly predicted their ToM-related social interaction only in children who had normal verbal comprehension. This study highlighted the differential predictions of symptom severity to ToM-related social interaction by their verbal comprehension levels in children with ASD.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
Sensory-processing challenges are measured by caregiver report and clinician observation and affect many people with autism spectrum disorder and their caregivers. It is unclear how caregiver stress influences the correlation between scores on caregiver reports and observational measures. The present analysis explored correlations between two formats of tools to assess sensory processing and indicated that caregiver stress moderates the association between sensory-seeking scores on the measures.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Neuroimaging Combined With the Specific Test of Early Infant Motor Performance (STEP) Early Developmental Assessment Predicts One-Year Developmental Outcomes
Authors: Coker-Bolt Patty , Haskins Hannah , Moss Hunter , Davis Shelby , Reiner Amy , Jenkins Dorothea 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
STEP is a novel infant motor skills test that is an efficient developmental assessment for preterm infants. STEP scores are related to MRS metabolite N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and multiple white matter (WM) tract fractional anisotropy (FA) values. Neuroimaging data in a model with STEP scores strongly predict 12-month Bayley outcomes. Performance on the STEP relates to CNS structural and metabolic integrity, and combining neuroimaging with STEP assessment can predict long-term motor development.

Daily use of a muscle pump activator device reduces duration of hospitalization and improves early graft outcomes post-kidney transplantation: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Xie Wen , Levine Max A. , Aquil Shahid , Pacoli Katharine , Al-Ogaili Rafid , Luke Patrick P. , Sener Alp 
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Kidney and simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplant recipients can have prolonged postoperative hospitalization due to edema. Thrombo-embolic-deterrent (TED) stockings with intermittent pneumatic compression devices (TED+IPC) have been used to improve venous return during the perioperative period. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effects of TED+IPC vs. muscle pump activator (MPA) devices on factors that could reduce postoperative complications and duration of hospitalization.
Methods: In this single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial, 221 kidney and SPK transplant recipients were randomized to either wearing TED+IPC or MPA for six days postoperatively. Groups were compared with respect to postoperative urine output, lower limb edema, weight, days in hospital, mobility, serum creatinine, delayed graft function, need for dialysis, and lower extremity blood flow.
Results: Patients in the MPA group had significantly higher urine output and less increase in mid-calf leg circumference and weight gain compared to the TED+IPC group (p=0.003, p=0.001, and p=0.003, respectively). The MPA group also experienced shorter hospitalization (p=0.038), higher femoral vein velocity (p=0.001), and took more steps (p=0.009). Incidence of delayed graft function (p=0.72) and number of dialysis runs (p=0.39) was not different between study groups. Subgroup analysis of primary endpoints in donation after cardiac death recipients and SPK recipients did not yield any significance between the study arms.
Conclusions: Postoperative use of the MPA device increases urine output, decreases leg edema, minimizes weight gain, and decreases duration of hospitalization after kidney transplantation. A larger and longer-term trial is needed to evaluate the impact on graft function.

Introduction: Increasing severity of hematuria is instinctively associated with higher likelihood of urological malignancy. However, the robustness of the evidentiary base for this assertion is unclear, particularly as it relates to the likelihood of upper urinary tract pathology. Thus, the value of axial imaging in the diagnostic workup of hematuria is unclear due to differences in the underlying patient populations, raising concern for sampling bias. We performed a systematic review to characterize the literature and association between severity of hematuria and likelihood of upper urinary tract cancer based on axial imaging.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane were systematically searched for all studies reporting on adult patients presenting with hematuria. We used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for reporting of this systematic review and meta-analysis and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for risk of bias assessment. Degree of hematuria was classified as “microscopic,” “gross,” or “unspecified.” Three urologic malignancies (bladder, upper tract urothelial, and renal cancer) were considered both individually and in aggregate. Random effects model with pairwise comparisons was employed to arrive at the axial imaging diagnostic yields.
Results: Twenty-nine studies were included, of which six (20.7%) reported on patients with gross hematuria only, four (13.8%) reported on patients with microscopic hematuria only, seven (24.1%) included both, and 12 (41.4%) did not define or specify the severity of hematuria. Of 29 studies, two (6.9%) were at high-risk of bias, 21 (72.4%) at intermediate-risk, and six (20.7%) at low-risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa criteria. Based on axial imaging, rates of diagnoses of renal, upper tract urothelial, and bladder cancers differed with differing severity of hematuria. Notably, rates of renal and upper tract urothelial carcinoma were higher in studies of patients with unspecified hematuria severity (3.6% and 10.4%, respectively) than among patients with gross hematuria (1.5% and 1.3%, respectively). When all urological malignancies were pooled, patients with unspecified hematuria were diagnosed more frequently (19.5%) compared to those with gross (15.3%) and microscopic hematuria (4.5%, difference = 1.51%; 99% confidence interval 3.6–26.5%).
Conclusions: Lack of granularity in the available literature, particularly with regards to patients with unspecified hematuria severity, limits the generalizability of these results and highlights the need for future studies that provide sufficient baseline information allowing for firmer conclusions to be drawn.
