description: CONTEXT: ERBB2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 or HER2) is currently the only biomarker established for selection of a specific therapy for patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). However, there are no comprehensive guidelines for the assessment of HER2 in patients with GEA.

OBJECTIVES: To establish an evidence-based guideline for HER2 testing in patients with GEA, to formalize the algorithms for methods to improve the accuracy of HER2 testing while addressing which patients and tumor specimens are appropriate, and to provide guidance on clinical decision making.

DESIGN: The College of American Pathologists, American Society for Clinical Pathology, and American Society of Clinical Oncology convened an expert panel to conduct a systematic review of the literature to develop an evidence-based guideline with recommendations for optimal HER2 testing in patients with GEA.

RESULTS: The panel is proposing 11 recommendations with strong agreement from the open-comment participants.

RECOMMENDATIONS: The panel recommends that tumor specimen(s) from all patients with advanced GEA, who are candidates for HER2-targeted therapy, should be assessed for HER2 status before the initiation of HER2-targeted therapy. Clinicians should offer combination chemotherapy and a HER2-targeted agent as initial therapy for all patients with HER2-positive advanced GEA. For pathologists, guidance is provided for morphologic selection of neoplastic tissue, testing algorithms, scoring methods, interpretation and reporting of results, and laboratory quality assurance.

CONCLUSIONS: This guideline provides specific recommendations for assessment of HER2 in patients with advanced GEA while addressing pertinent technical issues and clinical implications of the results.

description: By means of zoom-in hydrodynamic simulations we quantify the amount of neutral hydrogen (HI) hosted by groups and clusters of galaxies. Our simulations, which are based on an improved formulation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), include radiative cooling, star formation, metal enrichment and supernova feedback, and can be split in two different groups, depending on whether feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is turned on or off. Simulations are analyzed to account for HI self-shielding and the presence of molecular hydrogen. We find that the mass in neutral hydrogen of dark matter halos monotonically increases with the halo mass and can be well described by a power-law of the form $M_{\rm HI}(M,z)\propto M^{3/4}$. Our results point out that AGN feedback reduces both the total halo mass and its HI mass, although it is more efficient in removing HI. We conclude that AGN feedback reduces the neutral hydrogen mass of a given halo by $\sim50\%$, with a weak dependence on halo mass and redshift. The spatial distribution of neutral hydrogen within halos is also affected by AGN feedback, whose effect is to decrease the fraction of HI that resides in the halo inner regions. By extrapolating our results to halos not resolved in our simulations we derive astrophysical implications from the measurements of $Ω_{\rm HI}(z)$: halos with circular velocities larger than $\sim25~{\rm km/s}$ are needed to host HI in order to reproduce observations. We find that only the model with AGN feedback is capable of reproducing the value of $Ω_{\rm HI}b_{\rm HI}$ derived from available 21cm intensity mapping observations.

description: Excerpts from the report: Gin-loss cotton is a byproduct of the ginning process, and its utilization has received increased attention in recent years. Lint cleaners, used in all modern gins, are the main source of gin-loss cotton. Gin stand moting systems are another source of this material in the gin plant. In 1964 the U.S. Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory at Stoneville, Miss., and the Economic Research Service began a cooperative study to develop and evaluate a machine that would reclaim and clean gin-loss cotton. Major objectives of the study were: 1, Design a machine that would efficiently reclaim and clean usable or spinnable fibers of gin-loss cotton; 2, evaluate the machine in terms of its ability to separate fiber from trash; 3, determine fiber quality of reclaimed lint; 4, test the possibility of blending reclaimed gin-loss fibers with lint ginned from the same original bale; 5, evaluate the spinning performance of reclaimed gin-loss fiber and of blended lint; and 6, evaluate the economic aspects of reclaiming gin-loss cotton.

description: Anchored in the social organization theory of action and change, we use data from a large sample of active-duty Air Force members to examine the direct and indirect influence of social involvement and social responsibility on willingness to seek help in times of need via trust in formal systems and informal supports. Group comparisons are conducted between junior male, junior female, senior male, and senior female service members. The key mediational path in the model for all groups is the connection between social involvement and willingness to seek help via trust in formal systems. These results can inform both unit- and community-level interventions intended to increase the likelihood that active-duty AF members will seek help in times of need.

description: Disaster recovery work increases risk for mental health problems, yet the mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. We explored links from recovery work to posttraumatic stress (PTS), major depression (MD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptoms through physical health symptoms and household income in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. As part of the NIEHS GuLF STUDY, participants (N = 10,141) reported on cleanup work activities, spill-related physical health symptoms, and household income at baseline, and mental health symptoms an average of 14.69 weeks (SD = 16.79) thereafter. Cleanup work participation was associated with higher physical health symptoms, which in turn were associated with higher PTS, MD, and GAD symptoms. Similar pattern of results were found in models including workers only and investigating the influence of longer work duration and higher work-related oil exposure on mental health symptoms. In addition, longer worker duration and higher work-related oil exposure were associated with higher household income, which in turn was associated with lower MD and GAD symptoms. These findings suggest that physical health symptoms contribute to workers’ risk for mental health symptoms, while higher household income, potentially from more extensive work, might mitigate risk.

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Claim paragraph (from the sourcing sheet): The authors' experiment provides evidence that the proper timing of wage increases can induce substantial positive performance effects (Statement 2). This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "A profile that continuously increases wages by small amounts raises performance by about 15% relative to a constant wage" (Statement 1). ...the authors now estimate the overall treatment effect by regressing the total performance per subject on treatment dummies. The results are shown in column 1 of table 3. Dependent variable = log(total output + 1). The table shows ordinary least squares regressions with robust standard errors in parentheses (Statement 3). Concerning total performance (model 1)...T_Continuous significantly outperforms Baseline by about 15%. Hence, a simple reallocation of money across periods that implements frequent wage increases leads to a significant increase in overall performance in the authors' setting without any costs to the principal (from Table 3, 'Periods 1-8' column, 'T_Continuous' term: estimate = .148; robust SE = .070; p < .05) (Statement 4). The focal test in the original paper is: a simple reallocation of money across periods that implements frequent wage increases leads to a significant increase in overall performance in the authors' setting without any costs to the principal (from Table 3, 'Periods 1-8' column, 'T_Continuous' term: estimate = .148; robust SE = .070; p < .05)

description: We present all X-ray and radio observations of the Type IIn supernova SN 2010jl. The X-ray observations cover a period up to day 1500 with Chandra, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and Swift-XRT. The Chandra observations after 2012 June, the XMM-Newton observation in 2013 November, and most of the Swift-XRT observations until 2014 December are presented for the first time. All the spectra can be fitted by an absorbed hot thermal model except for \chandra spectra on 2011 October and 2012 June when an additional component is needed. Although the origin of this component is uncertain, it is spatially coincident with the supernova and occurs when there are changes to the supernova spectrum in the energy range close to that of the extra component, indicating that the emission is related to the supernova. The X-ray light curve shows an initial plateau followed by a steep drop starting at day $\sim 300$. We attribute the drop to a decrease in the circumstellar density. The column density to the X-ray emission drops rapidly with time, showing that the absorption is in the vicinity of the supernova. We also present Very Large Array radio observations of SN 2010jl. Radio emission was detected from \sn from day 570 onwards. The radio light curves and spectra suggest that the radio luminosity was close to its maximum at the first detection. The velocity of the shocked ejecta derived assuming synchrotron self absorption is much less than that estimated from the optical and X-ray observations, suggesting that free-free absorption dominates.

description: INTRODUCTION: The Brugada phenocopy represents electrocardiogram (ECG) changes nearly identical to the Brugada syndrome but without the congenital abnormality associated with lethal arrhythmias and normalizes with treatment of the underlying etiology. This case highlights the Brugada phenocopy in the setting of moderate hyperkalemia and severe hyponatremia from adrenal insufficiency that resolves with treatment of the underlying metabolic disturbance. CASE REPORT: A 26-year-old man with no prior medical history presented to the emergency department with syncope, and his ECG revealed a Brugada-like pattern. The patient was found to have significant metabolic derangements, including severe hyponatremia (94 mEq/L), moderate hyperkalemia (6.1 mEq/L), severe hypochloremia (<60 mEq/L), acute kidney injury, and rhabdomyolysis. The patient was diagnosed with primary adrenal insufficiency, and electrolyte correction led to resolution of the Brugada phenocopy. CONCLUSION: The Brugada phenocopy on ECG can occur with severe hyponatremia and moderate hyperkalemia and quickly resolves with electrolyte correction.

description: BACKGROUND: Web-based electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) measures are increasingly used to facilitate patient-centered health assessments. However, it is unknown if ePRO completion is feasible for recently ill intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and their families.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate the usability of a novel ePRO system (ePRO to Support People and Enhance Recovery [ePROSPER]) among ICU survivors and their families within an ongoing clinical trial.

METHODS: Paper-based PROs were iteratively adapted to electronic forms (ePROs). Then, the usability of ePROSPER was assessed among 60 patients, their family members, and PRO and programming experts via questionnaires (eg, Systems Usability Scale), "think aloud" open-ended feedback, task completion times, and error rates.

RESULTS: Input from patients and their families was used to incorporate user-experience modifications into ePROSPER. This feedback also led to inclusion of automated reminders for questionnaire completion and real-time alerts for staff triggered by high symptom levels. Median usability scores increased over testing cycles from 40 to 73 to 95, nearing the maximum score and showing excellent usability. All users completed ePROSPER within 20 minutes; 87% preferred it to a written version. ePROSPER was then implemented in a clinical trial without data errors.

CONCLUSIONS: Automated ePRO systems can be successfully integrated in a post-ICU clinical trial setting. The value of integrating such systems in direct clinical care should be assessed in future studies.

description: We propose that two of the most surprising results so far among exoplanet discoveries are related: the existences of both hot Jupiters and the high frequency of multi-planet systems with periods $P\lesssim200$~days. In this paradigm, the vast majority of stars rapidly form along with multiple close-in planets in the mass range of Mars to super-Earths/mini-Neptunes. Such systems of tightly-packed inner planets (STIPs) are metastable, with the time scale of the dynamical instability having a major influence on final planet types. In most cases, the planets consolidate into a system of fewer, more massive planets, but long after the circumstellar gas disk has dissipated. This can yield planets with masses above the traditional critical core of $\sim$10 $M_\oplus$, yielding short-period giants that lack abundant gas. A rich variety of physical states are also possible given the range of collisional outcomes and formation time of the close-in planets. However, when dynamical consolidation occurs before gas dispersal, a critical core can form that then grows via gas capture into a short-period gas giant. In this picture the majority of Hot and Warm Jupiters formed locally, rather than migrating down from larger distances.

description: In this work, we investigate the bifurcations of relative equilibria in the gravitational potential of asteroids. A theorem concerning a conserved quantity, which is about the eigenvalues and number of relative equilibria, is presented and proved. The conserved quantity can restrict the number of non-degenerate equilibria in the gravitational potential of an asteroid. It is concluded that the number of non-degenerate equilibria in the gravitational field of an asteroid varies in pairs and is an odd number. In addition, the conserved quantity can also restrict the kinds of bifurcations of relative equilibria in the gravitational potential of an asteroid when the parameter varies. Furthermore, studies have shown that there exist transcritical bifurcations, quasi-transcritical bifurcations, saddle-node bifurcations, saddle-saddle bifurcations, binary saddle-node bifurcations, supercritical pitchfork bifurcations, and subcritical pitchfork bifurcations for the relative equilibria in the gravitational potential of asteroids. It is found that for the asteroid 216 Kleopatra, when the rotation period varies as a parameter, the number of relative equilibria changes from 7 to 5 to 3 to 1, and the bifurcations for the relative equilibria are saddle-node bifurcations and saddle-saddle bifurcations.

description: BACKGROUND: Factors that precipitate hospitalization for exacerbation of heart failure provide targets for intervention to prevent hospitalizations.

OBJECTIVES: To describe demographic, clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial factors that precipitate admission for exacerbation of heart failure and assess the relationships between precipitating factors and delay before hospitalization, and between delay time and length of hospital stay.

METHODS: All admissions in 12 full months to a tertiary medical center were reviewed if the patient had a discharge code related to heart failure. Data on confirmed admissions for exacerbation of heart failure were included in the study. Electronic and paper medical records were reviewed to identify how long it took patients to seek care after they became aware of signs and symptoms, factors that precipitated exacerbation, and discharge details.

RESULTS: Exacerbation of heart failure was confirmed in 482 patients. Dyspnea was the most common symptom (92.5% of patients), and 20.3% of patients waited until they were severely dyspneic before seeking treatment. The most common precipitating factor was poor medication adherence. Delay times from symptom awareness to seeking treatment were shorter in patients who had a recent change in medicine for heart failure, renal failure, or poor medication adherence and longer in patients with depressive symptoms and hypertension.

CONCLUSIONS: Depressive symptoms, recent change in heart failure medicine, renal failure, poor medication adherence, and hypertension are risk factors for hospitalizations for exacerbation of heart failure.

description: In strained graphene, lattice deformation can create pseudo-magnetic fields and result in zero-field Landau level-like quantization. In the presence of an external magnetic field, valley-polarized Landau levels are predicted to be observed because the pseudo-magnetic fields are of opposite directions in the K and K' valleys of graphene. Here, we present experimental spectroscopic measurements by scanning tunneling microscopy of strained graphene on Rh foil. We direct observed valley splitting of the Landau level induced by the coexistence of the pseudo-magnetic fields and external magnetic fields. The observed result paves the way to exploit novel electronic properties in graphene through the combination of the pseudo-magnetic fields and the external magnetic fields.

description: Background: Risky sexual behavior accounts for a large number of opportunities for acquiring HIV infection and other STIs. Students of higher learning institutions are with multiple sociocultural backgrounds and begin independent life at younger age. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 588 randomly selected undergraduate students from private universities in Addis Ababa, from December 2018 to October 2019. Study participants were selected using multi stage stratified sampling technique. Interviewer administer pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data was entered into Epi-data version 4.4.2.1 then exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Descriptive analysis (Frequency, mean, and proportion) and regression analysis was done to summarize findings. Results: Overall, 32.6% of study participants started sexual intercourse at the time of study. The median age at first sexual intercourse was 18.3. About 66.7% of respondents were engaged in risky sexual behavior in their life time.

description: Laboratory experiments searching for galactic dark matter particles scattering off nuclei have so far not been able to establish a discovery. We use data from the XENON100 experiment to search for dark matter interacting with electrons. With no evidence for a signal above the low background of our experiment, we exclude a variety of representative dark matter models that would induce electronic recoils. For axial-vector couplings to electrons, we exclude cross-sections above 6x10^(-35) cm^2 for particle masses of m_chi = 2 GeV/c^2. Independent of the dark matter halo, we exclude leptophilic models as explanation for the long-standing DAMA/LIBRA signal, such as couplings to electrons through axial-vector interactions at a 4.4 sigma confidence level, mirror dark matter at 3.6 sigma, and luminous dark matter at 4.6 sigma.

Push button reproduction attempt of a research claim from James Andreoni, Justin M. Rao and Hannah Trachtman, (2017), in Journal of Political Economy

description: Claim paragraph (from the sourcing sheet): We selected the claim that verbal requests increase the number of givers by 55 percent and total donations by 69 percent; the finding for number of givers is the portion selected. This reflects the following statement from the paper’s abstract: “Paradoxically, the verbal ask dramatically increased giving but also led to dramatic avoidance.” The authors implemented a 2 x 2 design. Solicitation occurred in two modes: only bell ringing or bell ringing with a verbal request. The authors will refer to these two as opportunity, or “Opp,” and “Ask,” respectively. The other dimension is whether the authors had solicitors at only door 1 or at both doors 1 and 2. Hence, for ease of exposition the authors will refer to their four conditions as Opp1, Opp1&2, Ask1, and Ask1&2. Table 2 confirms the statistical significance of the differences across conditions using an ordinary least squares (OLS) framework that allows for day of week and time of day fixed effects. The number of givers is the dependent variable in column 1. Opp1 is the omitted group. The coefficient on Ask1 reveals that in the one-door conditions, the presence of a verbal request raised the number of donors by 55 percent (from ‘Number of Givers per 23-Minute Session’ column in Table 2, ‘Ask1’ variable: coefficient = 4.06; SE clustered by block = 1.135; p < .01). The focal test in the original paper is: The coefficient on Ask1 reveals that in the one-door conditions, the presence of a verbal request raised the number of donors by 55 percent (from ‘Number of Givers per 23-Minute Session’ column in Table 2, ‘Ask1’ variable: coefficient = 4.06; SE clustered by block = 1.135; p < .01).
Extent of the Color-sharing Bonus
Creators: name: Morey, Candice
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: Morey et al. (see project Color-sharing Bonus) observed a color-sharing bonus in visual recognition similar to that shown previously (e.g., Peterson & Berryhill, 2013; Quinlan & Cohen, 2012), but confirmed that the color-sharing bonus extends also to the non-repeated colors in the display. The aim of the current project is to probe the extent of this effect by further manipulating the amount of color repetition in the display. Eye movements will be recorded as in Morey et al.'s previous investigation in order to further test their interpretation of eye movements as reflecting visual-spatial rehearsal.

description: Traditional epidemiologic approaches allow us to compare counterfactual outcomes under 2 exposure distributions, usually 100% exposed and 100% unexposed. However, to estimate the population health effect of a proposed intervention, one may wish to compare factual outcomes under the observed exposure distribution to counterfactual outcomes under the exposure distribution produced by an intervention. Here, we used inverse probability weights to compare the 5-year mortality risk under observed antiretroviral therapy treatment plans to the 5-year mortality risk that would had been observed under an intervention in which all patients initiated therapy immediately upon entry into care among patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus in the US Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems multisite cohort study between 1998 and 2013. Therapy-naïve patients (n = 14,700) were followed from entry into care until death, loss to follow-up, or censoring at 5 years or on December 31, 2013. The 5-year cumulative incidence of mortality was 11.65% under observed treatment plans and 10.10% under the intervention, yielding a risk difference of −1.57% (95% confidence interval: −3.08, −0.06). Comparing outcomes under the intervention with outcomes under observed treatment plans provides meaningful information about the potential consequences of new US guidelines to treat all patients with human immunodeficiency virus regardless of CD4 cell count under actual clinical conditions.
