title: Supplementary Material for: International comparison exercise for biological dosimetry after exposures with neutrons performed at two irradiation facilities as part of the BALANCE project

description: In the case of a radiological or nuclear event, biological dosimetry can be an important tool to support clinical decision-making. During a nuclear event, individuals might be exposed to a mixed field of neutrons and photons. The composition of the field and the neutron energy spectrum influence the degree of damage to the chromosomes. During the transatlantic BALANCE project, an exposure similar to a Hiroshima-like device at a distance of 1.5 km from the epicenter was simulated and biological dosimetry based on dicentric chromosomes was performed to evaluate the participants ability to discover unknown doses and to test the influence of differences in neutron spectra. In a first step, calibration curves were established by irradiating blood samples with 5 doses in the range of 0 Gy to 4 Gy at two different facilities in Germany (PTB) and USA (CINF). The samples were sent to eight participating laboratories from the RENEB network and dicentric chromosomes were scored by each participant. Next, blood samples were irradiated with 4 blind doses in each of the two facilities and sent to the participants to provide dose estimates based on the established calibration curves. Manual and semi-automatic scoring of dicentric chromosomes were evaluated for their applicability to neutron exposures. Moreover, the biological effectiveness of the neutrons from the two irradiation facilities was compared. The calibration curves from samples irradiated at CINF showed a 1.4 times higher biological effectiveness compared to samples irradiated at PTB. For manual scoring of dicentric chromosomes, the doses of the test samples were mostly successfully resolved based on the calibration curves established during the project. For semi-automatic scoring, the dose estimation for the test samples was less successful. Doses &gt;2 Gy in the calibration curves revealed non-linear associations between dose and dispersion index of the dicentric counts, especially for manual scoring. The differences in the biological effectiveness between the irradiation facilities suggested that the neutron energy spectrum can have a strong impact on the dicentric counts.

title: Supplementary Material for: Maternal dietary vitamin D intake during pregnancy is associated with allergic disease symptoms in children at 3 years old: the Japan Environment and Children’s Study

description: Introduction: Vitamin D plays an important role in the immune system, and postnatal vitamin D insufficiency is one of the risk factors for the development of allergic disease. However, the effects of women’s vitamin D intake during pregnancy on the prevalence of allergic disease in their children remain controversial. Methods: From the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, an ongoing nationwide birth cohort study, we obtained information on maternal dietary vitamin D intake determined using a food frequency questionnaire and parent-reported allergic disease symptoms based on the ISAAC questionnaire in children at 3 years of age. Results: From the full dataset of 103,060 pregnancies, we analyzed complete data for 73,309 mother–child pairs. The prevalence of current wheeze, current rhinitis, current rhino-conjunctivitis, current eczema, ever asthma, ever pollinosis, and ever atopic dermatitis in the children was 17.2%, 29.7%, 3.8%, 15.2%, 9.6%, 3.7%, and 11.0%, respectively. The ORs for current rhinitis were significantly lower in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th quintiles than in the 1st quintile after adjustment for various covariates and showed a linear association. The ORs for ever pollinosis were significantly lower in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quintiles than in the 1st quintile, showing a U-shaped curve. There was no clear association between mothers’ dietary vitamin D intake and symptoms of asthma or atopic dermatitis in their 3-year-old children. Conclusion: Maternal dietary vitamin D intake during pregnancy is associated with the ORs for nasal allergies in children at the age of 3 years. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the appropriate intake dose of vitamin D for pregnant women to prevent the development of nasal allergies in their children.

title: Supplementary Material for: Transarterial selective internal radiation therapy with yttrium-90 for liver metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the ureter as a bridging therapy to immunotherapy: a case report with a 10-year follow-up.

description: Primary transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter is a rare type of cancer with metastasis presented in approximately 25% at diagnosis. Due to its rarity and poor prognosis, the management of this neoplasm is still controversial, and the development of new therapies is of uttermost importance. Herein, we describe a case of a 54-year-old patient diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma of the left ureter submitted to left nephroureterectomy (pT3N2M0) and methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin adjuvant chemotherapy. A single liver metastasis was detected and combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and carboplatin was initiated along with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy. Despite these 2 previous chemotherapy regimens, the patient presented disease progression and transarterial selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with yttrium-90 was indicated. This locoregional treatment was performed with the administration of 1.2 GBq yttrium-90 resin microspheres (SIR-Spheres®, Sirtex Medical Limited, Sydney, NSW, Australia) into the right hepatic artery. Another systemic treatment was immunotherapy using nivolumab with excellent tolerability. After 10 years of follow-up, at the last clinical evaluation, the patient had no clinical symptoms and the last imaging follow-up using positron emission tomography–computed tomography scan showed complete response. This report introduces upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma as a distinct type of malignancy in which SIRT can be safely implemented. As a transition method to nivolumab, it was successful. There might be a potential therapeutic synergism between these 2 treatment modalities.

title: Supplementary Material for: The Role of Erythropoietin Levels in Predicting Long-Term Outcomes following Severe Acute Kidney Injury

description: Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) survivors are at an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage kidney disease, and mortality. Little is known about the effect of erythropoietin (EPO), a kidney-producing hormone, in post-AKI setting. We aimed to investigate the role of EPO as a predictor of long-term outcomes in post-severe AKI survivors. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of post-AKI cohort conducted between August 2018 to December 2021. Adults who survived from severe AKI stage 2-3 were enrolled. Serum EPO was obtained at 1 month after hospital discharge. We explored whether EPO level could predict long-term kidney outcomes at 12 months including mortality, kidney replacement therapy, doubling serum creatinine, and major adverse kidney events at 365 days (MAKE-365). Results: One hundred twelve patients were enrolled. Median EPO level was significant higher in non-survivors than survivors [28.9 (IQR 16.2-50.7) vs 11.6 mU/mL (7.5-22.3), p=0.003]. The best EPO level cut-off was 16.2 mU/mL (sensitivity 77.8%, specificity 62.1%). Serum EPO predicted 12-month mortality with an AUC of 0.69. Combining clinical model using age, baseline, and discharge kidney function with serum EPO improved prediction with AUC of 0.74. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that high-level of EPO group had significantly higher mortality compared with low-level EPO group (15.2% vs 3.0%, p=0.020). Hematocrit was significantly lower in high-level EPO group compared with low-level EPO group at 12 months (33.4±1.1% vs 36.0±0.9%, p=0.038). Conclusions: Plasma EPO appears to be a useful marker for predicting long-term outcome in post-severe AKI survivors.

title: Supplementary Material for: Clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients with HER-2 low expression received neoadjuvant therapy

description: Introduction: Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) low expression breast malignant tumors have become a research hotspot in recent years, but it is still unclear whether HER-2 low expression represents a special subtype of breast cancer. However, this molecular type requires more effective treatment regimens in the neoadjuvant therapy stage. Methods: This study enrolled breast cancer patients who were treated at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital for neoadjuvant treatment between October 2011 and May 2019 and was a single-center retrospective study. Results: A total of 1053 breast cancer patients who received preoperative therapy, including 279 (26%) HER-2 low expression patients, were included in this retrospective study. The HER-2 low expression group had a higher proportion of patients under 50 years old than the other two molecular subtype groups (p=0.047, 62.0% vs. 57.2% and 52.5%), and the percentage of patients with Ki67 index above 15% was lower than that in HER-2 negative and HER-2 positive patients (p&lt;0.001, 50.2% vs. 63.6% and 71.5%). Most of the patients with HER-2 low expression were hormone receptor (HR) positive (p&lt;0.001, 85.7% vs. 60.4% and 36.0%), and their pathologic complete response (pCR) rate after neoadjuvant therapy was significantly lower than that of HER-2 negative and HER-2 positive patients (p&lt;0.001, 5.7% vs. 11.8% and 20.5%). The results of the subgroup analysis showed HR-positive patients with HER-2 low expression had a lower pCR rate (p&lt;0.001, 4.6% vs. 14.6%) and objective response rate (ORR) (p=0.001, 77.8% vs. 91.0%) than HER-2 positive patients and had no significant difference in these rates compared to HER-2 negative patients. There were no significant differences in overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) up to 67 months (the median follow-up time) among HER-2 low, HER-2 negative and HER-2 positive patients. The results of cox hazard proportional showed that the Ki67 index and T stage (T3) were independent influencing factors for DFS. In terms of OS, Ki67 index, P53, T stage and objective response (OR) were independent influencing factors for OS in HER-2 low expression patients. Conclusions: In general, further studies are needed to confirm that HER-2 low expression is a special breast cancer molecular subtype. The efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with HER-2 low expression is relatively poor, and the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy can predict the prognosis of patients with HER-2 low expression.

title: Regime-Dependent Recession Forecasts and the 2001 Recession
title: Archival Version

description: Business recessions are notoriously hard to predict accurately, hence the quip that economists have predicted eight of the last five recessions. This article derives a six-month-ahead recession signal that reduces the number of false signals outside of recession, without impairing the ability to signal the recessions that occur. In terms of predicting the 1990-1991 and 2001 recessions out of sample, the new recession signal, like other signals, largely misses the 1990-1991 recession with its six-month-ahead forecasts. In contrast, a recession onset in April or May 2001 was predicted six months ahead of the 2001 recession, which is close to the actual turning point of March 2001.

title: Identifying Business Cycle Turning Points in Real Time
title: Archival Version

description: This paper evaluates the ability of a statistical regime-switching model to identify turning points in United States economic activity in real time. The authors work with a Markov-switching model fit to real Gross Domestic Product and employment data that, when estimated on the entire postwar sample, provides a chronology of business cycle peak and trough dates close to that produced by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Next, they investigate how accurately and quickly the model would have identified NBER-dated turning points had it been used in real time for the past 40 years. In general, the model identifies turning point dates in real time that are close to the NBER dates. For both business cycle peaks and troughs, the model provides systematic improvement over the NBER in the speed at which turning points are identified. Importantly, the model achieves this with few instances of "false positives." Overall, the evidence suggests that the regime-switching model could be a useful supplement to the NBER Business Cycle Dating Committee for establishing turning point dates.

title: Supplementary Material for: Financial advisers’ and key informants’ perspectives on the Australian industry-led Moratorium on Genetic Tests in Life Insurance

description: Introduction: Genetic discrimination (GD) in the context of life insurance is a perennial concern in Australia and internationally. To address such concerns in Australia, an industry self-regulated Moratorium on Genetic Tests in Life Insurance was introduced in 2019 to restrict life insurers from using genetic test results in underwriting for policies under certain limits. Financial advisers (FAs) are sometimes engaged by clients to provide financial advice and assist them to apply for life insurance. They are therefore well-placed to comment on GD and the operation of the Moratorium. Despite this, the financial advising sector in Australia have yet to be studied empirically with regards to GD and the Moratorium. This study aims to capture this perspective by reporting on interviews with the financial advising sector. Methods: Ten semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with FAs and key informants and analysed using thematic analysis. Discussion/ conclusion(s): Participants’ level of awareness and understanding of the Moratorium varied. Participants reported mixed views on the Moratorium’s effectiveness and how it operates in practice, and perceived industry compliance. Participants also provided reflections on Australia’s current approach to regulating GD, with most participants supporting the concept of industry self-regulation but identifying a need for this to be supplemented with external oversight and meaningful recourse mechanisms for consumers. Our results suggest that there is scope to increase FAs’ awareness of GD, and that further research, consultation and policy consideration are required to identify an optimal regulatory response to GD in Australia

title: PRISMA_2020_checklist.pdf

description: The present systematic review was carried out with the objective of deepening the indiscriminate use of benzodiazepines against depression and anxiety in older adults. Our research question was: What are the characteristics of older adults suffering from anxiety and depression, treated with benzodiazepines? This systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The evidence was generated through the bibliographic review of research in databases of electronic journals such as Scopus, Dialnet, Pubmed, Continental Repository, and Google Academic. The key search terms were: benzodiazepines, the elderly, and anxiety. It was determined that both anxiety and depression are mental disorders caused by different physical, economic, social and environmental factors. Likewise, the consequences of the misuse of these drugs were identified, ranging from irreversible cognitive deterioration to dependence in older adults who consume benzodiazepines

title: Replication data for: When They're Sixty-Four: Peer Effects and the Timing of Retirement

description: This paper examines the effect of peers on an individual's likelihood of retirement using an administrative dataset of all retirement-eligible Los Angeles teachers for the years 1998-2001. We use two large unexpected pension reforms that differentially impacted financial incentives within and across schools to construct an instrument for others' retirement decisions. Controlling for individual and school characteristics, we find that the retirement of an additional teacher in the previous year at the same school increases a teacher's own likelihood of retirement by 1.5-2 percentage points. We then explore some possible mechanisms through which this effect operates. (JEL H75, I21, J14, J26, J45)
