description: Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), caused by Neisseria meningitidis, is life-threatening with a high case fatality rate (CFR) and severe sequelae. We compiled and critically discussed the evidence on IMD epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and disease management in Vietnam, focusing on children. PubMed, Embase and gray literature searches for English, Vietnamese and French publications, with no date restrictions, retrieved 11 eligible studies. IMD incidence rate (/100,000 population) was 7.4 [95% confidence interval 3.6–15.3] in children under 5 years of age; driven by high rates in infants (e.g. 29.1 [8.0–106.0] in 7–11 month-olds). Serogroup B IMD was predominant. Neisseria meningitidis strains may have developed resistance to streptomycin, sulfonamides, ciprofloxacin, and possibly ceftriaxone. There was a lack of current data on diagnosis and treatment of IMD, which remain challenging. Healthcare professionals should be trained to rapidly recognize and treat IMD. Preventive measures, such as routine vaccination, could help address the medical need.

description: OBJECTIVE: The etiology of knee osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is complex and may differ by race or ethnicity. In recent years, genetic studies have identified many genetic variants associated with OA, but nearly all the studies were conducted in European whites and Asian Americans. Few studies have focused on the genetics of knee OA in African Americans. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide association study of radiographic knee OA in 1217 African Americans from 2 North American cohort studies: 590 subjects from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project and 627 subjects from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. Analyses were conducted in each cohort separately and combined in an inverse variance fixed effects metaanalysis, which were then included in pathway analyses. We additionally tested 12 single-nucleotide polymorphisms robustly associated with OA in European white populations for association in African Americans. RESULTS: We identified a genome-wide significant variant in LINC01006 (minor allele frequency 12%; p = 4.11 — 10-9) that is less common in European white populations (minor allele frequency < 3%). Five other independent loci reached suggestive significance (p < 1 — 10-6). In pathway analyses, dorsal/ventral neural tube patterning and iron ion transport pathways were significantly associated with knee OA in African Americans (false discovery rate < 0.05). We found no evidence that previously reported OA susceptibility variants in European whites were associated with knee OA in African Americans. CONCLUSION: These results highlight differences in the genetic architecture of knee OA between African American and European whites. This finding underscores the need to include more diverse populations in OA genetics studies.

description: OBJECTIVE: A major barrier to genetic studies of osteoarthritis (OA) is the need to obtain large numbers of individuals with standardized radiographic evaluations for OA. To address this gap, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of radiographically defined tibiofemoral knee OA in 3,898 cases and 3,168 controls from 4 well-characterized North American cohorts, and we performed replication analysis of previously reported OA loci. METHODS: We performed meta-analysis using a 2-stage design. Stage 1 (discovery) consisted of a GWAS meta-analysis of radiographic knee OA carried out in the Osteoarthritis Initiative and the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project. Knee OA was defined as definite osteophytes and possible joint space narrowing or total joint replacement in one or both knees. Stage 2 (validation) was performed in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study and the Genetics of Osteoarthritis study. We genotyped lead meta-analysis variants (P≤1 — 10-4 ) from stage 1 and tested the association between these variants and knee OA. We then combined results from all cohorts in a meta-analysis. RESULTS: Lead variants from stage 1, representing 49 unique loci, were analyzed in stage 2; none met genome-wide significance in the combined analysis of stage 1 and stage 2. We validated 1 locus (rs4867568 near LSP1P3) with nominal significance (P<0.05), which was also our top finding in the combined meta-analysis (odds ratio [OR] 0.84 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.79-0.91], P=3.02 — 10-6 ). We observed nominally significant associations (P<0.05) with 3 previously reported OA loci: rs143383 in GDF5 (OR 1.12 [95% CI 1.04-1.21], P=2.13 — 10-3 ), rs835487 in CHST11 (OR 0.93 [95% CI 0.85-0.99], P=0.03), and rs8044769 in FTO (OR 1.10 [95% CI 1.03-1.19], P=6.13 — 10-3 ). CONCLUSION: These findings provide suggestive evidence of a novel knee OA locus and confirm previously reported associations in GDF5, CHST11, and FTO.

description: The high-density microneedle array patch (HD-MAP) is a novel vaccine delivery system with potential for self-administered vaccination. In this study, Vaxxas HD-MAPs were applied by both a trained user and self-administered with application sites compared to determine the response of skin and the level of engagement of the HD-MAP with human skin. Twenty healthy participants were enrolled, and the response of skin including erythema was observed at all application sites and no difference was found between trained user or self-administered applications. The majority of participants (70%) preferred the deltoid upper arm application site for applying HD-MAPs. Fluorescent dermatoscope images confirmed HD-MAPs engaged the skin surface and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image analysis exhibited similar delivery characteristics for the upper arm and forearm sites when applied by either a trained user or self-administered. This study showed that noninvasive methods including dermatoscopy and SEM image analysis were able to estimate the engagement of HD-MAPs with human skin. HD-MAP self-vaccination technology has a unique proposition in pandemic preparedness by alleviating the need for health-care workers to administer vaccines, however greater awareness and understanding of the potential of this technology is required.

description: In extensive cohort studies, the ascertainment of covariate information on all individuals canbe challenging. In hospital epidemiology, an additional issue is often the time-dependency of the exposure of interest. We revisit and compare two sampling designs constructed for rare time-dependent exposures and possibly common outcomes – the nested exposure casecontrol design and exposure density sampling. Both designs enable efficient hazard ratio estimation by sampling all exposed individuals but only a small fraction of the unexposed ones. Moreover, they account for time-dependent exposure to avoid immortal time bias. We evaluate and compare their performance using data of patients hospitalised in the neuro-intensive care unit at the Burdenko Neurosurgery Institute in Moscow, Russia. Three different types of hospital-acquired infections with different prevalence are considered. Additionally, inflation factors, a primary performance measure, are discussed. We enhance both designs to allow for a competitive analysis of combined and competing endpoints compared to the full cohort approach while substantially reducing the amount of necessary information. Nonetheless, exposure density sampling outperforms the nested exposure case-control design concerning efficiency and accuracy in most considered settings.

description: Despite widespread mass rollout programs, the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant called into question the effectiveness of the existing vaccines against infection, hospitalization, severity, and mortality compared to previous variants. This systematic review summarizes and compares the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines, with respect to the above outcomes in adults, children, and adolescents. A comprehensive literature search was undertaken on several databases. Only 51 studies met our inclusion criteria, revealing that the protection from primary vaccination against Omicron infection is inferior to protection against Delta and Alpha infections and wanes faster over time. However, mRNA vaccine boosters were reported to reestablish effectiveness, although to a lower extent against Omicron. Nonetheless, primary vaccination was shown to preserve strong protection against Omicron-associated hospitalization, severity, and death, even months after last dose. However, boosters provide more robust and longer-lasting protection against hospitalizations due to Omicron as compared to only primary series.

description: One distinct feature of the cerebral cortex is its convex (gyri) and concave (sulci) folding patterns. Due to the remarkable complexity and variability of gyral/sulcal shapes, it has been challenging to quantitatively model their organization patterns. Inspired by the observation that the lines of gyral crests can form a connected graph on each brain hemisphere, we propose a new representation of cortical gyri/sulci organization pattern - gyral net, which models cortical architecture from a graph perspective, starting with nodes and edges obtained from the reconstructed cortical surfaces. A novel computational framework is developed to efficiently and automatically construct gyral nets from surface meshes, and four measurements are devised to quantify the folding patterns. Using an MRI dataset for autism study as a test bed, we identified reduced local connectivity cost and increased curviness of gyral net bilaterally on the parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe in autistic patients. Additionally, we found that the cortical thickness and the gyral straightness of gyral joints are higher than the rest of gyral crest regions. The proposed representation offers a new tool for a comprehensive and reliable characterization of the cortical folding organization. This novel computational framework will enable large-scale analyses of cortical folding patterns in the future.

description: Patients with pediatric rheumatic diseases (PRDs) have higher morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent infection. This study aimed to understand the vaccination status, vaccination-related attitudes, and adverse reactions in patients with PRDs in one of the largest Pediatric Rheumatic and Immune centers in China. A cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire was conducted among the caregivers of patients with PRDs admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. 189 valid questionnaires were collected. The most two common PRDs in this study were juvenile idiopathic arthritis (29.6%) and systemic lupus erythematosus (19.6%). Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify potential factors associated with vaccination completion among these patients. Univariate analysis suggested that the age of onset, course of the disease, treatment duration, disease duration <1 month, disease duration ≥24 months, treatment duration <1 month, use of biological agents, at least one hospitalization, whether with one-time intravenous human immunoglobulin, caregiver concerns about vaccination before or after illness, and vaccine hesitancy may affect the scheduled vaccination completion by age in patients (p < .05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age of onset (OR, 1.013; 95% CI, 1.005–1.022; p = .002) and caregiver concerns about vaccination before illness (OR, 0.600; 95% CI, 0.428–0.840; p = .003) independently influenced patients’ completion of scheduled vaccinations. This study suggests that rheumatic disease and treatment may influence age-appropriate vaccination. Appropriate education for patients and carers may improve vaccination cognition and attitudes.

description: Plasmas enable the creation of electric fields in excess of 10 GV/m for the purpose of charged particle acceleration, outperforming traditional radiofrequency-based technology by many orders of magnitude. These fields are generated in electron-density waves in plasma, driven by either a high-intensity laser pulse or a high current-density particle beam, supporting GeV-energy gain over cm distances. Such plasma wakefield accelerators raise hope for a dramatic miniaturization of cutting-edge applications in photon science and high-energy physics, potentially with disruptive consequences for either field.This pair of lectures will introduce the basic principles of plasma wake accelerators, discuss limits in achievable energy gain, present electron injection techniques and touch on recent research results for both, laser- and beam-driven techniques. In addition, by investigating the example of a plasma-based high-energy physics collider, concepts and challenges toward the construction of this most demanding of applications will be discussed.

description: This essay surveys the teaching of Latin American art music in U.S. post-secondary education from the 1930s to the present. After a rush of enthusiasm during the Good Neighbor period (World War II), decades of indifference set in. After 2000, an increasing number of instructors began either (1) teaching the art music of Latin America in courses dedicated to all types of Latin America music or (2) incorporating the subject into existing courses on Western art music. Yet many instructors still omit Latin American art music, as do certain authors. In this essay, I question such a stance. Not only does Latin American art music offer a window into Latin American culture but it can help counteract persistent stereotypes about Latin America, a perspective that is all the more critical in light of recent demographic trends in the United States and recent political developments.

description: The currently used Japanese Oka and Korean MAV/06-attenuated varicella vaccine strains belong to clade 2 genotype varicella–zoster viruses (VZV). More than seven clades of VZV exist worldwide. In this study, we investigated the cross-reactivity of antibodies induced by clade 2 genotype vaccines against VZV strains belonging to clades 1, 2, 3, and 5 using a fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen (FAMA) test. Among 59 donors, 29 were vaccinated with the MAV/06 strain MG1111 (GC Biopharma, South Korea) and the other 30 were vaccinated with the Oka strain VARIVAX (Merck, USA). The sera were titrated using FAMA tests prepared with six different VZV strains (two vaccine strains, one wild-type clade 2 strain, and one each of clade 1, 3, and 5 strains). The ranges of geometric mean titers (GMTs) of FAMA against six different strains were 158.7–206.5 and 157.6–238.9 in MG1111 and VARIVAX groups, respectively. GMTs of the MG1111 group against all six strains were similar; however, GMTs of the VARIVAX group showed differences of approximately 1.5-fold depending on the strains. Nevertheless, the GMTs of the two vaccinated groups for the same strain were not significantly different. These results suggest that both MG1111 and VARIVAX vaccinations induce cross-reactive humoral immunity against other clades of VZV.

description: OBJECTIVE: Population-based osteoarthritis (OA) cohorts provide vital data on risk factors and outcomes of OA, however the methods to define OA vary between cohorts. We aimed to provide recommendations for combining knee and hip OA data in extant and future population cohort studies, in order to facilitate informative individual participant level analyses. METHOD: International OA experts met to make recommendations on: 1) defining OA by X-ray and/or pain; 2) compare The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)-type OA pain questions; 3) the comparability of the Western Ontario & McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scale to NHANES-type OA pain questions; 4) the best radiographic scoring method; 5) the usefulness of other OA outcome measures. Key issues were explored using new analyses in two population-based OA cohorts (Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study; MOST and Osteoarthritis Initiative OAI). RESULTS: OA should be defined by both symptoms and radiographs, with symptoms alone as a secondary definition. Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) grade ≥2 should be used to define radiographic OA (ROA). The variable wording of pain questions can result in varying prevalence between 41.0% and 75.4%, however questions where the time anchor is similar have high sensitivity and specificity (91.2% and 89.9% respectively). A threshold of 3 on a 0-20 scale (95% CI 2.1, 3.9) in the WOMAC pain subscale demonstrated equivalence with the preferred NHANES-type question. CONCLUSION: This research provides recommendations, based on expert agreement, for harmonising and combining OA data in existing and future population-based cohorts.

description: Plasmas enable the creation of electric fields in excess of 10 GV/m for the purpose of charged particle acceleration, outperforming traditional radiofrequency-based technology by many orders of magnitude. These fields are generated in electron-density waves in plasma, driven by either a high-intensity laser pulse or a high current-density particle beam, supporting GeV-energy gain over cm distances. Such plasma wakefield accelerators raise hope for a dramatic miniaturization of cutting-edge applications in photon science and high-energy physics, potentially with disruptive consequences for either field.This pair of lectures will introduce the basic principles of plasma wake accelerators, discuss limits in achievable energy gain, present electron injection techniques and touch on recent research results for both, laser- and beam-driven techniques. In addition, by investigating the example of a plasma-based high-energy physics collider, concepts and challenges toward the construction of this most demanding of applications will be discussed.

description: Immunocompetent adults with certain medical and behavioral factors are at increased risk of pneumococcal disease. In some countries, sequential vaccination with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) followed by 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) is recommended for at-risk adults. This subgroup analysis from a phase 3 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of sequential administration of either V114 (a 15-valent PCV containing serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F) or PCV13, followed 6 months later by PPSV23, in immunocompetent adults 18–49 years of age with pre-defined risk factors for pneumococcal disease. Safety and immunogenicity post-vaccination were analyzed by type and baseline number of risk factors for pneumococcal disease (1 and ≥2 risk factors). This analysis included 1,131 participants randomized 3:1 to receive either V114 or PCV13, followed by PPSV23. The majority (73.1%) of participants had at least one risk factor. Safety and tolerability profiles of V114 and PCV13 were similar across risk factor groups. V114 administered either alone or sequentially with PPSV23 6 months later was immunogenic for all 15 serotypes, including those not contained in PCV13, regardless of the number of baseline risk factors. V114 has the potential to broaden serotype coverage for at-risk adults.
Don Giovanni Goes to Prison: Teaching Opera behind Bars

Subjects: Teaching Opera; Prison educational initiatives; Incarcerated students; Mozart; Don Giovanni

description: Teaching opera in prison presents challenges, such as limits imposed on printed and recorded material to study it, or the audio-visual technology in the classroom space, yet, no other experience can be so inspiring and rewarding for everybody involved. This essay focuses on teaching opera, in particular Mozart’s Don Giovanni, to imprisoned students in America. It addresses pedagogical challenges on how to teach opera in prison and advocates for the need to leave the ivory tower of academia and engage in social action. If opera is still perceived as an elitist art form, it is because it is artificially kept that way by being practiced, taught, studied, and promoted only among an exclusive sector of our population.

description: This phase III clinical trial aimed to assess the safety and demonstrate the immunogenicity of a candidate freeze-dried purified Vero cell-based rabies vaccine (PVRV-WIBP) developed for human use. A cohort of 40 participants in stage 1 and 1956 subjects in stage 2 with an age range of 10–50 years were recruited for the phase III clinical trial. For safety analysis in stage 1, 20 participants received either 4-dose or 5-dose regimen of PVRV-WIBP. In stage 2, 1956 subjects were randomly divided into the 5-dose PVRV-WIBP, 5-dose PVRV-LNCD, and 4-dose PVRV-WIBP groups. The serum neutralizing antibody titer against rabies was determined on day 7 or 14 and day 35 or 42. Adverse reactions were recorded for more than 6 months. Most adverse reactions, which were mild and moderate in severity, occurred and resolved within 1 week after each injection in the PVRV-WIBP (4 and 5 doses) and PVRV-LNCD (5 doses) groups. All three groups achieved complete seroconversion 14 days after the initial dose and 14 days after completing the full vaccination schedule, the susceptible subjects in the PVRV-WIBP group (4-dose or 5-dose regimen) displayed higher neutralizing antibody titers against the rabies virus compared to those in the PVRV-LNCD group (5-dose regimen). PVRV-WIBP induced non-inferior immune responses versus PVRV-LNCD as assessed by seroconversion rate. PVRV-WIBP was well tolerated and non-inferior to PVRV-LNCD in healthy individuals aged 10–50 years. The results indicated that PVRV-WIBP (both 4- and 5-dose schedules) could be an alternative to rabies post-exposure prophylaxis.

description: Fast and automated image quality assessment (IQA) of diffusion MR images is crucial for making timely decisions for rescans. However, learning a model for this task is challenging as the number of annotated data is limited and the annotation labels might not always be correct. As a remedy, we will introduce in this paper an automatic image quality assessment (IQA) method based on hierarchical non-local residual networks for pediatric diffusion MR images. Our IQA is performed in three sequential stages, i.e., 1) slice-wise IQA, where a nonlocal residual network is first pre-trained to annotate each slice with an initial quality rating (i.e., pass/questionable/fail), which is subsequently refined via iterative semi-supervised learning and slice self-training; 2) volume-wise IQA, which agglomerates the features extracted from the slices of a volume, and uses a nonlocal network to annotate the quality rating for each volume via iterative volume self-training; and 3) subject-wise IQA, which ensembles the volumetric IQA results to determine the overall image quality pertaining to a subject. Experimental results demonstrate that our method, trained using only samples of modest size, exhibits great generalizability, and is capable of conducting rapid hierarchical IQA with near-perfect accuracy.

description: The immune escape mutations of SARS-CoV-2 variants emerged frequently, posing a new challenge to weaken the protective efficacy of current vaccines. Thus, the development of novel SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is of great significance for future epidemic prevention and control. We herein reported constructing the attenuated Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smegmatis) as a bacterial surface display system to carry the spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) of SARS-CoV-2. To mimic the native localization on the surface of viral particles, the S or N antigen was fused with truncated PE_PGRS33 protein, which is a transportation component onto the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb). The sub-cellular fraction analysis demonstrated that S or N protein was exactly expressed onto the surface (cell wall) of the recombinant M. smegmatis. After the immunization of the M. smegmatis-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate in mice, S or N antigen-specific T cell immune responses were effectively elicited, and the subsets of central memory CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells were significantly induced. Further analysis showed that there were some potential cross-reactive CTL epitopes between SARS-CoV-2 and M.smegmatis. Overall, our data provided insights that M. smegmatis-based bacterial surface display system could be a suitable vector for developing T cell-based vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases.
