title: Supplementary Material for: Racial Discrimination and Multiple Health Outcomes: An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses

description: Objective: We aimed to systematically investigate the associations between racial discrimination and various health outcomes and to evaluate the certainty of evidence from existing meta-analyses of observational studies. Method: We systemically searched the associations between racial discrimination and health outcomes for PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, WoS, and Google Scholar up until January 31, 2024. Notably, the included studies were predominantly conducted in the United States and Europe, limiting the generalizability of our findings to a global context. Results: Eight meta-analyses of observational studies involving over 1 million individuals were included, describing 15 potential health outcomes related to racial discrimination. The quality assessment revealed that most included meta-analyses were of low quality. For oncological health outcomes, significant associations were found with the mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); Black patients had a higher risk, while Asian patients had a lower risk when compared to White patients. In addition, Black patients with disparities on the cancer care continuum are a protective factor for early-stage HCC diagnosis. For gastroenterological health outcomes, Hispanic patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and Black patients with socioeconomic status/differential access to health care, compared to white patients (reference) showed significant associations. For mental health outcomes, racial discriminations were significantly associated with increased odds of psychotic experiences, suicidal ideation, and suicidal attempts. Numerous significant associations were from weak to suggestive evidence levels, indicating variability in the evidence. Conclusion: Despite the complexity of measuring its impact, racial discrimination shows a profound influence across clinical areas, including an unexpected protective association in early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis among Black patients.

title: Bayesian Projected Calibration of Computer Models

description: <b>We develop a Bayesian approach called the Bayesian projected calibration to address the problem of calibrating an imperfect computer model using observational data from an unknown complex physical system. The calibration parameter and the physical system are parameterized in an identifiable fashion via the <i>L</i><sub>2</sub>-projection. The physical system is imposed a Gaussian process prior distribution, which naturally induces a prior distribution on the calibration parameter through the <i>L</i><sub>2</sub>-projection constraint. The calibration parameter is estimated through its posterior distribution, serving as a natural and nonasymptotic approach for the uncertainty quantification. We provide rigorous large sample justifications of the proposed approach by establishing the asymptotic normality of the posterior of the calibration parameter with the efficient covariance matrix. In addition to the theoretical analysis, two convenient computational algorithms based on stochastic approximation are designed with strong theoretical support. Through extensive simulation studies and the analyses of two real-world datasets, we show that the proposed Bayesian projected calibration can accurately estimate the calibration parameters, calibrate the computer models well, and compare favorably to alternative approaches. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.</b>

title: Supplementary Material for: Combination of Two Behavioral Techniques Reduces Craving in Problematic Alcohol Consumption by One Third: A Randomized Controlled Trial

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Craving alcohol is a core symptom of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and an important target for treatment. A new line of treatment for AUD aims at overriding the urge to consume alcohol by changing implicit cognitions via approach bias modification (ApBM). In a prior study, we tested a variant of ApBM called imaginal retraining, which reduced craving. As addiction and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) share important symptoms (e.g., inability to resist urges), for the present study we merged imaginal retraining with a technique aimed at BFRB, called decoupling, to augment treatment effects. We hypothesized that the new technique, which is called 3P, would lead to a greater reduction in craving relative to (active) control conditions. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The study was conducted online. Data from 227 participants were considered. Participants were randomized to 1 out of 5 conditions. Craving for alcohol before and after the brief intervention was the primary outcome. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Only the 3P condition lessened craving by approximately one third at an almost medium effect size (improvement: 34.5%, <i>p</i> = 0.003, <i>d</i> = 0.458). Effects were significantly larger relative to the wait-list control and two active control conditions (<i>p</i>’s &lt; 0.02; greater reduction than imaginal retraining at a small but nonsignificant effect size). <b><i>Discussion/Conclusion:</i></b> If replicated, the combination of imaginal retraining and decoupling (3P) represents a promising, easy-to-implement self-help technique to reduce immediate craving. Long-term effects in participants with formally diagnosed AUD have not yet been investigated.

title: <b>Larval crowding enhances dengue virus loads in </b><b><i>Aedes aegypti,</i></b><b> a relationship that might increase transmission in urban environments</b>

description: <b>Background. </b>Climate change and urbanization will alter the global distribution of disease vectors, changing the disease burden in yet unpredictable ways. <i>Aedes aegypti</i> is a mosquito responsible for transmitting dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses that breeds in containers associated with urban environments. We sought to understand how ambient temperature and larval densities in the immature aquatic phases determine adult life history traits and dengue virus loads post-infection. We predicted that larval crowding and high temperatures would both lead to smaller mosquitoes that might struggle to invest in an immune response and, hence, would exhibit high viral loads.<b>Methods.</b> We first examined larval densities from urban and rural areas via a meta-analysis. We then used these data to inform a laboratory-based 2x2 design examining the interacting effects of temperature (21 vs. 26°C) and density (0.2 vs. 0.4 larvae/mL) on adult life history and dengue virus loads.<b>Results.</b> We found that urban areas had an ~8-fold increase in larval densities compared to more rural sites. In the lab, we found that crowding had more impact on mosquito traits than temperature. Crowding led to slower development, smaller mosquitoes, less survival, lower fecundity, and higher viral loads, as predicted. The higher temperature led to faster development, reduced fecundity, and lower viral loads. The virus-reducing effect of higher temperature rearing was, however, overwhelmed by the impact of larval crowding when both factors were present.<b>Conclusions.</b> These data reveal complex interactions between the environmental effects experienced by immature mosquitoes and adult traits. They especially highlight the importance of crowding with respect to adult viral loads. Together, these data suggest that urban environments might enhance dengue virus loads and, therefore, possibly transmission, a concerning result given the increasing rates of urbanization globally.

title: Residual carbon emissions in companies’ climate pledges: who has to reduce and who gets to remove?

description: Corporate carbon neutrality pledges have been criticized for their lack of integrity, especially when they are primarily based on the simple purchase of carbon offsets without making any significant emission reductions. Neutrality pledges that are consistent with the goal of the ISO corporate net zero guidelines should be based on the reduction of all but the so-called unavoidable or residual emissions. The residual emissions should be neutralized not through reduction offsets but by actually removing the equivalent amount of emissions from the atmosphere. In this paper, I analyze whether climate pledges of 115 large companies, which cover all eleven Global Industry Classification Standards’ sectors, follow the aforementioned net zero definition. The assessed criteria are (i) the type of pledge made, (ii) the definition of residual emissions employed and (iii) whether the company commits to neutralize its emissions exclusively with removals. Secondly, the assessment involves evaluating the companies’ commitment to their net zero pledges by examining the residual emission level provided and determining if their climate goal extends to absolute scope 3 emissions. From the companies that had a net zero target (69) only 22% aimed to reduce emissions to a residual level and compensate with removals. The residual emission levels in the target year is specified by 29 companies and ranges between 0 and 80% (mean = 19.3%, median = 10%, <i>n</i> = 29). More than half of the residual emissions that exceed the median of 10% are claimed by sectors that are not classified as hard-to-abate such as information technology or communication companies. Corporate net-zero goals appear more ambitious than the reduction and compensation commitments that companies are makingResidual emission levels that determine the reduction obligations under a net-zero pledge should not be determined by corporates or technical experts aloneInvolvement of governments and civil society actors in participatory processes at national and international level is needed to determine residual emissions‘Fair contributions’ and thus residual emissions should be informed by companies’ impact on fulfilling the needs of the most vulnerable Corporate net-zero goals appear more ambitious than the reduction and compensation commitments that companies are making Residual emission levels that determine the reduction obligations under a net-zero pledge should not be determined by corporates or technical experts alone Involvement of governments and civil society actors in participatory processes at national and international level is needed to determine residual emissions ‘Fair contributions’ and thus residual emissions should be informed by companies’ impact on fulfilling the needs of the most vulnerable

title: Glacial geomorphology of the central sector of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, Northern British Columbia, Canada

description: Northern British Columbia was repeatedly covered by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) during the glacial periods. However, its mountainous terrain and remote location have thus far impeded our understanding of the central sector of the ice sheet. The improved resolution of remotely sensed data provides new opportunities to unravel the glacial history of this inaccessible location. Here, we present a comprehensive map of glacial landforms for the central sector of the CIS (55° to 60° N). Seven landform categories were mapped: ice flow parallel lineations, moraines (CIS outlet glacier moraines, Late Glacial moraines and moraines of unknown origin), meltwater channels (lateral and submarginal, subglacial, proglacial, and meltwater channels of unknown origin), kame terraces, eskers (single ridges and esker complexes), perched deltas and subglacial ribs. Collectively, these landforms provide a record of the extent, thickness and behaviour of the CIS, the direction of its movement and pattern of ice retreat.

title: Supplementary Material for: ESCAPE: An Open-Label Trial of Personalized Immunotherapy in Critically lll COVID-19 Patients

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Macrophage activation-like syndrome (MALS) and complex immune dysregulation (CID) often underlie acute respiratory distress (ARDS) in COVID-19. We aimed to investigate the effect of personalized immunotherapy on clinical improvement of critical COVID-19. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this open-label prospective trial, 102 patients with ARDS by SARS-CoV-2 were screened for MALS (ferritin &gt;4,420 ng/mL) and CID (ferritin ≤4,420 ng/mL and low human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression on CD14-monocytes). Patients with MALS or CID with increased aminotransferases received intravenous anakinra; those with CID and normal aminotransferases received tocilizumab. The primary outcome was ≥25% decrease in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and/or 50% increase in the respiratory ratio by day 8; 28-day mortality, change of SOFA score by day 28, serum biomarkers, and cytokine production by mononuclear cells were secondary endpoints. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The primary study endpoint was met in 58.3% of anakinra-treated patients and in 33.3% of tocilizumab-treated patients (<i>p</i>: 0.01). Most patients in both groups received dexamethasone as standard of care. No differences were found in secondary outcomes, mortality, and SOFA score changes. Ferritin decreased among anakinra-treated patients; interleukin-6, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, and HLA-DR expression increased among tocilizumab-treated patients. Survivors by day 28 who received anakinra were distributed to lower severity levels of the WHO clinical progression scale. Greater incidence of secondary infections was found with tocilizumab treatment. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Immune assessment resulted in favorable anakinra responses among critically ill patients with COVID-19 and features of MALS<i>.</i>

title: Supplementary Material for: Psychobiological Correlates of Aggression in Female Adolescents with Borderline Personality Disorder

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Aggressive behavior in reaction to threats, frustration, or provocation is prevalent in borderline personality disorder (BPD). This study investigated aggressive behavior and its biological correlates in adolescents with BPD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Twenty-one female adolescents with a DSM-IV BPD diagnosis and 25 sex- and age-matched healthy controls participated in the Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP), a laboratory-based experiment measuring aggressive behavior in the interpersonal context. Heart rate was measured and saliva samples were taken throughout the experiment. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Multilevel mixed-effects linear regression analyses revealed no significant group difference in aggressive behavior induced by the TAP. Additionally, the two groups did not differ in cortisol, testosterone, and heart rate responses to the aggression induction. The BPD group showed a significant cortisol increase in the time preceding the start of the TAP in contrast to the healthy control group, in whom a significant heart rate increase from baseline to the first block of the TAP was observed. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> There was no evidence, either at the phenomenological or the biological level, of increased task-induced aggression in adolescents with BPD. The results may indicate that adolescents with BPD experienced fearful stress in anticipation of the experimental task in contrast to healthy controls who showed an adaptive response of the autonomic nervous system necessary to deal with the upcoming demand.

title: Supplementary Material for: Discordance in Phenotypic and Genotypic Susceptibility Testing for Streptomycin Due to Nonsynonymous/Nonsense/Deletion Frame-Shift Mutations in Gidb Among Clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in Kuwait

description: Objective: Increasing reports of resistance to newer anti-tuberculosis drugs have prompted the search for other alternative drugs. Streptomycin could be used for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis if susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate to streptomycin could be accurately detected. We performed phenotypic and genotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) of 118 M. tuberculosis isolates for streptomycin. Materials and Methods: Fifty pansusceptible and 68 multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates were used. Phenotypic DST for streptomycin, rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol was performed by mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960 System. Genotypic DST was done by GenoTypeMTBDRplus assay for rifampicin and isoniazid and by PCR-sequencing of rpsL, rrs and gidB genes for streptomycin. MDR-TB isolates were genotyped by spoligotyping. Results: Phenotypic DST identified 50 isolates susceptible to all four drugs (pansusceptible). Sixty-one of 68 MDR-TB isolates were resistant to streptomycin. Genotypic testing for rifampicin and isoniazid yielded expected results. Fifty pansusceptible and 7 streptomycin-susceptible MDR-TB isolates contained no mutation in rpsL or rrs, while 47, 2 and 1 STR-resistant isolate contained rpsL, rrs and rpsL + rrs mutations, respectively. Of the remaining 11 STR-resistant MDR-TB, 9 isolates contained deletion frame-shift/nonsynonymous mutations in gidB. Surprisingly, 13 pansusceptible isolates also contained deletion frame-shift/nonsense/nonsynonymous mutations in gidB. Also, 30 of 68 MDR-TB but only 2 of 50 pansusceptible isolates belonged to the Beijing genotype. Conclusions: Our data show that, like ifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide, streptomycin also exhibits discordant phenotypic and genotypic DST results for some M. tuberculosis isolates. Hence, streptomycin should be included in therapy regimens only if both phenotypic and genotypic resistance testing indicate susceptibility to avoid amplification of resistance and drug toxicity.
