description: Background The cost of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) prompted many payers to restrict treatment to patients who met non–evidence-based criteria. These restrictions have implications for survival of people with HCV, especially for people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/HCV coinfection who are at high risk for liver disease progression. The goal of this work was to estimate the effects of DAA access policies on 10-year all-cause mortality among people with HIV. Methods The study population included 3056 adults with HIV in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study and Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study from 1 October 1994 through 30 September 2015. We used the parametric g-formula to estimate 10-year all-cause mortality under DAA access policies that included treating (i) all people with HCV; (ii) only people with suppressed HIV; (iii) only people with severe fibrosis; and (iv) only people with HIV suppression and severe fibrosis. Results The 10-year risk difference of treating all coinfected persons with DAAs compared with no treatment was –3.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], –9.1% to .6%). Treating only those with suppressed HIV and severe fibrosis yielded a risk difference of –1.1% (95% CI, –2.8% to .6%), with 51% (95% CI, 38%–59%) of coinfected persons receiving DAAs. Treating a random selection of 51% of coinfected persons at baseline decreased the risk by 1.9% (95% CI, –4.7% to .3%). Conclusions Restrictive DAA access policies may decrease survival compared to treating similar proportions of people with HIV/HCV coinfection with DAAs at random. These findings suggest that lives could be saved by thoughtfully revising access policies.

description: We develop a new method for frequentist multiple testing with Bayesian prior information. Our procedure finds a new set of optimal p-value weights called the Bayes weights. Prior information is relevant to many multiple testing problems. Existing methods assume fixed, known effect sizes available from previous studies. However, the case of uncertain information is usually the norm. For a Gaussian prior on effect sizes, we show that finding the optimal weights is a non-convex problem. Despite the non-convexity, we give an efficient algorithm that solves this problem nearly exactly. We show that our method can discover new loci in genome-wide association studies. On several data sets it compares favorably to other methods. Open source code is available.

description: Depression is common among women with HIV and untreated depression can result in poor quality of life and worsen HIV outcomes. Women with HIV who are dually enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare faced a potential disruption in medication access when Medicare Part D was implemented in 2006. The goal of this study was to estimate the effects of Medicare Part D implementation on antidepressant use, depressive symptoms, and hospitalization in Medicaid-Medicare dual eligible women with HIV. This study used 2003–2008 data from the Women's Interagency HIV Study. The effects of Medicare Part D were estimated using a difference-in-differences approach, adjusting for temporal trends using a matched control group of Medicaid-only enrollees. Before Medicare Part D implementation, dual eligibles differed from Medicaid-only enrollees in antidepressant use and hospitalization, despite having identical prescription drug coverage through Medicaid. For dual enrollees, the transition to Medicare Part D was not associated with changes in antidepressant use, depressive symptoms, or hospitalization. We did not find disruptive effects on antidepressant use and related outcomes among dual eligibles in this study. Stable antidepressant use may be due to better access to medical care for dual eligibles through Medicare both before and after Medicare Part D implementation, which may have eclipsed any effects of the transition. It may also signal that classification of antidepressants as a protected drug class under Medicare Part D was effective in preventing psychiatric medication disruption.

description: NGC 4203 is a nearby early-type galaxy surrounded by a very large, low-column-density HI disc. In this paper we study the star formation efficiency in the gas disc of NGC 4203 by using the UV, deep optical imaging and infrared data. We confirm that the HI disc consists of two distinct components: an inner star forming ring with radius from $\sim$ 1 to $\sim$ 3 R$_{eff}$, and an outer disc. The outer HI disc is 9 times more massive than the inner HI ring. At the location of the inner HI ring we detect spiral-like structure both in the deep $g'-r'$ image and in the 8 $μ$m $Spitzer$-IRAC image, extending in radius up to $\sim$ 3 R$_{eff}$. These two gas components have a different star formation efficiency likely due to the different metallicity and dust content. The inner component has a star formation efficiency very similar to the inner regions of late-type galaxies. Although the outer component has a very low star formation efficiency, it is similar to that of the outer regions of spiral galaxies and dwarfs. We suggest that these differences can be explained with different gas origins for the two components such as stellar mass loss for the inner HI ring and accretion from the inter galactic medium (IGM) for the outer HI disc. The low level star formation efficiency in the outer HI disc is not enough to change the morphology of NGC 4203, making the depletion time of the HI gas much too long.

description: Context: Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) is an important predictor of severe hypoglycemia. Objective: To determine the association of proximal HbA1C level with first hypoglycemia hospitalization (HH) in adults with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D).  Design, Setting, and Participants: A nested case-control study was designed using linked data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and Hospital Episode Statistics in England in 1997 to 2014. The first hypoglycemia event as primary diagnosis for hospitalization after T2D diagnosis was identified. Proximal HbA1C was measured within 90 days before the first HH. Main Outcome Measure: OR for developing HH. Results: The association of proximal HbA1C level with first HH was similar between HbA1C levels of 6.0% (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.12 to 2.11) and 9.0% [1.48 (1.01 to 2.17)] compared with the reference HbA1C level of 7.0%. For proximal HbA1C level of 4.0% to 6.5%, every additional 0.5% increase in HbA1C was associated with lower first HH risk, with ORs (95% CI) ranging between 0.37 (0.20 to 0.67) and 0.86 (0.76 to 0.98). For proximal HbA1C level of 8.0% to 11.5%, every additional 0.5% increase in HbA1C was associated with higher first HH risk, with ORs (95% CI) ranging between 1.16 (1.04 to 1.29) and 1.34 (1.18 to 1.52). The U-shaped association between proximal HbA1C level and first HH did not exist among current sulfonylurea users but persisted among current insulin users (Pinteraction = 0.002). Among current noninsulin nonsulfonylurea users who had a first HH, 78% took insulin or sulfonylureas before the HH. Conclusions: Having either poor or near-normal HbA1C was associated with a higher risk of first HH within 3 months in T2D.

description: Nanofibers functionalized by metal nanostructures and particles are exploited as effective flexible substrates for SERS analysis. Their complex three-dimensional structure may provide Raman signals enhanced by orders of magnitude compared to untextured surfaces. Understanding the origin of such improved performances is therefore very important for pushing nanofiber-based analytical technologies to their upper limit. Here we report on polymer nanofiber mats which can be exploited as substrates for enhancing the Raman spectra of adsorbed probe molecules. The increased surface area and the scattering of light in the nanofibrous system are individually analyzed as mechanisms to enhance Raman scattering. The deposition of gold nanorods on the fibers further amplifies Raman signals due to SERS. This study suggests that Raman signals can be finely tuned in intensity and effectively enhanced in nanofiber mats and arrays by properly tailoring the architecture, composition, and light-scattering properties of the complex networks of filaments.

description: In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to problems of external validity, specifically to methodological approaches for both quantitative generalizability and transportability of study results. However, most approaches to these issues have considered external validity separately from internal validity. Here we argue that considering either internal or external validity in isolation may be problematic. Further, we argue that a joint measure of the validity of an effect estimate with respect to a specific population of interest may be more useful: We call this proposed measure target validity. In this work, we introduce and formally define target bias as the total difference between the true causal effect in the target population and the estimated causal effect in the study sample, and target validity as target bias = 0. We illustrate this measure with a series of examples and show how this measure may help us to think more clearly about comparisons between experimental and nonexperimental research results. Specifically, we show that even perfect internal validity does not ensure that a causal effect will be unbiased in a specific target population.

description: We study the prompt production of the $χ_c(1^+)$ and $χ_b(1^+)$ mesons at high energies. Unlike $χ(0^+,2^+)$ production, $χ(1^+)$ mesons cannot be created at LO via the fusion of two on-mass-shell gluons, that is $gg\toχ_{c,b}(1^+)$ are not allowed. However, the available experimental data show that the cross sections for $χ_c(1^+)$ and $χ_c(2^+)$ are comparable. We therefore investigate four other $χ(1^+)$ production mechanisms: namely, (i) the standard NLO process $gg\toχ_{c,b}(1^+)+g$, (ii) via gluon virtuality, (iii) via gluon reggeization and, finally, (iv) the possibility to form $χ_{c,b}(1^+)$ by the fusion of three gluons, where one extra gluon comes from another parton cascade, as in the Double Parton Scattering processes.

description: Our study explored the application of methods to generalize randomized controlled trial results to a target population without individual-level data. We compared 4 methods using aggregate data for the target population to generalize results from the international trial, Justification for the Use of Statins in Prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin (JUPITER), to a target population of trial-eligible patients in the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). The gold-standard method used individual data from both the trial and CPRD to predict probabilities of being sampled in the trial and to reweight trial participants to reflect CPRD patient characteristics. Methods 1 and 2 used weighting methods based on simulated individual data or the method of moments, respectively. Method 3 weighted the trial’s subgroup-specific treatment effects to match the distribution of an effect modifier in CPRD. Method 4 calculated the expected absolute benefits in CPRD assuming homogeneous relative treatment effect. Methods based on aggregate data for the target population generally yielded results between the trial and gold-standard estimates. Methods 1 and 2 yielded estimates closest to the gold-standard estimates when continuous effect modifiers were represented as categorical variables. Although individual data or data on joint distributions remains the best approach to generalize trial results, these methods using aggregate data might be useful tools for timely assessment of randomized trial generalizability.

description: The disease risk score is a summary score that can be used to control for confounding with a potentially large set of covariates. While less widely used than the exposure propensity score, the disease risk score approach might be useful for novel or unusual exposures, when treatment indications or exposure patterns are rapidly changing, or when more is known about the nature of how covariates cause disease than is known about factors influencing propensity for the exposure of interest. Focusing on the simple case of a binary point exposure, we describe a marginal structural model for estimation of risk (or prevalence) ratios. The proposed model incorporates the disease risk score as an offset in a regression model, and it yields an estimate of a standardized risk ratio where the target population is the exposed group. Simulations are used to illustrate the approach, and an empirical example is provided. Confounder control based on the proposed method might be a useful alternative to approaches based on the exposure propensity score, or as a complement to them.
Using Bounds to Compare the Strength of Exchangeability Assumptions for Internal and External Validity

description: In the absence of strong assumptions (e.g., exchangeability), only bounds for causal effects can be identified. Here we describe bounds for the risk difference for an effect of a binary exposure on a binary outcome in 4 common study settings: observational studies and randomized studies, each with and without simple random selection from the target population. Through these scenarios, we introduce randomizations for selection and treatment, and the widths of the bounds are narrowed from 2 (the width of the range of the risk difference) to 0 (point identification). We then assess the strength of the assumptions of exchangeability for internal and external validity by comparing their contributions to the widths of the bounds in the setting of an observational study without random selection from the target population. We find that when less than two-thirds of the target population is selected into the study, the assumption of exchangeability for external validity of the risk difference is stronger than that for internal validity. The relative strength of these assumptions should be considered when designing, analyzing, and interpreting observational studies and will aid in determining the best methods for estimating the causal effects of interest.

description: This dyadic investigation examines how couples’ relationship catastrophizing (i.e., magnifying negative cognitions, ruminating on relationship problems, and/or adopting a helpless orientation toward coping with relationship challenges) is associated with their own and their partner’s sexual well-being during the transition to parenthood. Sex and gender diverse couples from the community and online sources, across Canada and the United States, were recruited to participate in a study involving completing: 1) a baseline survey at 20 weeks pregnant; 2) brief daily surveys for 21 days (completed between 3- and 4-months postpartum), and 3) five follow-up surveys (i.e., at 32 weeks pregnant, 2 weeks postpartum, 3 months postpartum, 9 months postpartum, and 15 months postpartum). At the time of preregistration (June 2022), data collection is ongoing for the longitudinal follow-up surveys and daily surveys. For the current investigation, we will be focusing on data from the 21-day daily surveys only. In addition to couples recruited as part of the larger study, a subsample of participants (N = 65 couples) were recruited at 3 months postpartum specifically for the daily diary component of the study. The same inclusion and exclusion criteria were used for both studies, with the exception of pregnancy-related criteria (no longer relevant for the postpartum-only daily diary sample).

description: In the framework of the so-called gravitoelectromagnetic formalism, according to which the equations of the gravitational field can be written in analogy with classical electromagnetism, we study the gravitomagnetic field of a rotating ring, orbiting around a central body. We calculate the gravitomagnetic component of the field, both in the intermediate zone between the ring and the central body, and far away from the ring and central body. We evaluate the impact of the gravitomagnetic field on the motion of test particles and, as an application, we study the possibility of using these results, together with the Solar System ephemeris, to infer information on the spin of ring-like structures.

We propose a 3-step procedure to facilitate meaningful comparisons of effect estimates from randomized trials and observational studies: 1) harmonization of the study protocols (eligibility criteria, treatment strategies, outcome, start and end of follow-up, causal contrast) so that the studies target the same causal effect, 2) harmonization of the data analysis to estimate the causal effect, and 3) sensitivity analyses to investigate the impact of discrepancies that could not be accounted for in the harmonization process. To illustrate our approach, we compared estimates of the effect of immediate with deferred initiation of antiretroviral therapy in individuals positive for the human immunodeficiency virus from the Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Therapy (START) randomized trial and the observational HIV-CAUSAL Collaboration.

description: Background: To obtain optimal health outcomes, persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) must be retained in clinical care. We examined the relationships between 4 possible combinations of 2 separate retention measures (missed visits and the Institute of Medicine [IOM] indicator) and all-cause mortality. Methods: The sample included 4162 antiretroviral therapy (ART)–naive patients who started ART between January 2000 and July 2010 at any of 5 US sites of the Center for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems. The independent variable of interest was retention, captured over the 12-month period after the initiation of ART. The study outcome, all-cause mortality 1 year after ART initiation, was determined by querying the Social Security Death Index or the National Death Index. We evaluated the associations of the 4 categories of retention with all-cause mortality, using the Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Ten percent of patients did not meet retention standards for either measure (hazard ratio [HR], 2.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.59–3.21). Patients retained by the IOM but not the missed-visits measure (42%) had a higher HR for mortality (1.72; 95% CI, 1.33–2.21) than patients retained by both measures (41%). Patients retained by the missed-visits but not the IOM measure (6%) had the same mortality hazards as patients retained by both measures (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, .54–1.87). Conclusions: Missed visits within the first 12 months of ART initiation are a major risk factor for subsequent death. Incorporating missed visits in clinical and public health retention and viral suppression programming is advised.

description: We study the spin dynamics of individual black holes in a binary system. In particular we focus on the polar precession of spins and the possibility of a complete flip of spins with respect to the orbital plane. We perform a full numerical simulation that displays these characteristics. We evolve equal mass binary spinning black holes for $t=20,000M$ from an initial proper separation of $d=25M$ down to merger after 48.5 orbits. We compute the gravitational radiation from this system and compare it to 3.5 post-Newtonian generated waveforms finding close agreement. We then further use 3.5 post-Newtonian evolutions to show the extension of this spin {flip-flop} phenomenon to unequal mass binaries. We also provide analytic expressions to approximate the maximum {flip-flop} angle and frequency in terms of the binary spins and mass ratio parameters at a given orbital radius. Finally we discuss the effect this spin {flip-flop} would have on accreting matter and other potential observational effects.

description: Objective To quantify differences in assessing preterm delivery when calculating gestational age from last menstrual period (LMP) versus ultrasonography biometry. Methods The Zambian Preterm Birth Prevention Study is an ongoing prospective cohort study that commenced enrolment in August 2015 at Women and Newborn Hospital of University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. Women at less than 20 weeks of pregnancy who were enrolled between August 17, 2015, and August 31, 2017, and underwent ultrasonography examination were included in the present analysis. The primary outcome was the difference between ultrasonography‐ and LMP‐based estimated gestational age. Associations between baseline predictors and outcomes were assessed using simple regression. The proportion of preterm deliveries using LMP‐ and ultrasonography‐derived gestational dating was calculated using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results The analysis included 942 women. The discrepancy between estimating gestational age using ultrasonography and LMP increased with greater gestational age at presentation and among patients with no history of preterm delivery. In a Kaplan‐Meier analysis of 692 deliveries, 140 (20.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 17.7–23.0) and 79 (11.4%, 95% CI 9.6–13.6) deliveries were classified as preterm by LMP and ultrasonography estimates, respectively. Conclusion Taking ultrasonography as a standard, a bias was observed in LMP‐based gestational age estimates, which increased with advancing gestation at presentation. This resulted in misclassification of term deliveries as preterm.

description: An aging population leads to increasing demand for sustained quality of life with the aid of novel implants. Patients expect fast healing and few complications after surgery. Increased biofunctionality and antimicrobial behavior of implants, in combination with supportive stem cell therapy, can meet these expectations. Recent research in the field of bone implants and the implementation of autologous mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of bone defects is outlined and evaluated in this review. The article highlights several advantages, limitations and advances for metal-, ceramic- and polymer-based implants and discusses the future need for high-throughput screening systems used in the evaluation of novel developed materials and stem cell therapies. Automated cell culture systems, microarray assays or microfluidic devices are required to efficiently analyze the increasing number of new materials and stem cell-assisted therapies. Approaches described in the literature to improve biocompatibility, biofunctionality and stem cell differentiation efficiencies of implants range from the design of drug-laden nanoparticles to chemical modification and the selection of materials that mimic the natural tissue. Combining suitable implants with mesenchymal stem cell treatment promises to shorten healing time and increase treatment success. Most research studies focus on creating antibacterial materials or modifying implants with antibacterial coatings in order to address the increasing number of complications after surgeries that are mostly caused by bacterial infections. Moreover, treatment of multiresistant pathogens will pose even bigger challenges in hospitals in the future, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These antibacterial materials will help to reduce infections after surgery and the number of antibiotic treatments that contribute to the emergence of new multiresistant pathogens, whilst the antibacterial implants will help reduce the amount of antibiotics used in clinical treatment.

description: Aims To determine association between HbA1C variability and hypoglycemia requiring hospitalization (HH) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Using nested case-control design in electronic health record data in England, one case with first or recurrent HH was matched to one control who had not experienced HH in incident T1D and T2D adults. HbA1C variability was determined by standard deviation of ≥ 3 HbA1C results. Conditional logistic models were applied to determine association of HbA1C variability with first and recurrent HH. Results In T1D, every 1.0% increase in HbA1C variability was associated with 90% higher first HH risk (95% CI, 1.25–2.89) and 392% higher recurrent HH risk (95% CI, 1.17–20.61). In T2D, a 1.0% increase in HbA1C variability was associated with 556% higher first HH risk (95% CI, 3.88–11.08) and 573% higher recurrent HH risk (95% CI,1.59–28.51). In T2D for first HH, the association was the strongest in non-insulin non-sulfonylurea users (P < 0.0001); for recurrent HH, the association was stronger in insulin users than sulfonylurea users (P = 0.07). The HbA1C variability-HH association was stronger in more recent years in T2D (P ≤ 0.004). Conclusions HbA1C variability is a strong predictor for HH in T1D and T2D.
