Abstract

We examine type D ASEP, a two--species interacting particle system which generalizes the usual asymmetric simple exclusion process. For certain cases of type D ASEP, the process does not give priority for one species over another, even though there is nontrivial interaction between the two species. For those specific cases, we prove that the type D ASEP is self--dual with respect to an independent product of $q$--Krawtchouk polynomials. The type D ASEP was originally constructed in arXiv:2011.13473, using the type D quantum groups $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{so}_6)$ and $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{so}_8)$. That paper claimed that certain states needed to be "discarded'' in order to ensure non--negativity. Here, we also provide a more efficient argument for the same claim., Comment: Version 2 is the journal version.

Abstract

The Heidenhain variant of Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare form that initially presents with visual disturbances. In early stages, the presentation can mimic neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and lead to unnecessary treatment modalities. Herein, we describe a case of a 66-year-old man who presented with bilateral vision loss and retro-orbital discomfort. In addition to immunosuppressive therapy, he received 4 rounds of therapeutic plasma exchange after his preliminary diagnosis of NMOSD. We were surprised to note that his condition did not show improvement but deteriorated, with severe neurocognitive symptoms. Eventually, CJD was suspected, and real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) was performed. By the time the diagnosis of Heidenhain variant of CJD was confirmed, the patient was discharged to hospice care and died shortly after. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Pressure injuries are a significant comorbidity and lead to increased overall healthcare costs. Several European and global studies have assessed the burden of pressure injuries; however, no comprehensive analysis has been completed in the United States. In this study, we investigated the trends in the burden of pressure injuries among hospitalised adults in the United States from 2009 to 2019, stratified by sociodemographic subgroups. The length of admission, total cost of hospitalisation, and sociodemographic data was extracted from the National Inpatient Sample provided by the Healthcare Cost and Utilisation Project, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Overall, the annual prevalence of pressure injuries and annual mean hospitalisation cost increased ($69,499.29 to $102,939.14), while annual mean length of stay decreased (11.14–9.90 days). Among all races, minority groups had higher average cost and length of hospitalisation. Our findings suggest that while the length of hospitalisation is decreasing, hospital costs and prevalence are rising. In addition, differing trends among racial groups exist with decreasing prevalence in White patients. Further studies and targeted interventions are needed to address these differences, as well as discrepancies in racial groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

46. Impact of low dose computed tomography screening on smoking cessation among high-risk participants in the UK Lung Cancer Screening trial

Author

Brain, Kate, Carter, Ben, Lifford, Kate J, Burke, Olivia, Devaraj, Anand, Baldwin, David R., Duffy, Stephen, and Field, John K.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Smoking cessation was examined among a subset of current smokers who were high-risk participants in the UK Lung Cancer Screening (UKLS) pilot trial of low-dose CT screening. METHODS: High-risk individuals aged 50-75 years who completed baseline questionnaires were randomised to CT screening (intervention) or usual care (no screening control). Smoking habit was determined at baseline using self-report. Smokers were asked whether they had quit smoking since joining UKLS at short-term follow-up (2 weeks after baseline scan results or control assignment) and longer-term follow-up (up to 2 years after recruitment). Intention to treat (ITT) regression analyses were undertaken, adjusting for baseline lung cancer distress, trial site and sociodemographic variables. RESULTS: Of a total of 4055 individuals randomised to CT screening or control, 1546 were baseline smokers (787 control, 759 intervention). Smoking cessation rates were 5% (control n=36/786) versus 10% (intervention n=75/758) at 2 weeks and 10% (control n=79/775) versus 15% (intervention n=115/749) at up to 2 years follow-up. ITT analyses indicated that the odds of quitting among screened participants were significantly higher in the short term (adjusted OR (aOR) 2.38, 95% CI 1.56 to 3.64, p

Abstract

The report and data for this study is included. The survey questionnaire is located in the Appendix of the report and should be used when interpreting the data. This study focused on the research question 'What are the winter maintenance preferences of user groups for trails within the Hanlon Creek preservation Area?'. To answer this question the study involved identifying the popular user groups of the trails, determining high intensity areas of trails, and then investigating and analyzing the common winter maintenance preferences. Recommendations related to winter maintenance preferences of the trail user groups surveyed are presented.

Abstract

Background The UK Lung Cancer Screening (UKLS) trial is a randomised pilot trial of low-dose CT (LDCT) screening for individuals at high risk of lung cancer. We assessed the long-term psychosocial impact on individuals participating in the UKLS trial.\ud \ud \ud Methods A random sample of individuals aged 50–75 years was contacted via primary care. High-risk individuals who completed T0 questionnaires (baseline) were randomised to LDCT screening (intervention) or usual care (no screening control). T1 questionnaires were sent 2 weeks after baseline scan results or control assignment. T2 questionnaires were sent up to 2 years after recruitment. Measures included cancer distress, anxiety, depression and decision satisfaction.\ud \ud \ud Results A total of 4037 high-risk individuals were randomised and they completed T0 questionnaires (n=2018 intervention, n=2019 control). Cancer distress was higher at T1 in intervention arm participants who received positive screening results (p≤0.001), but not at T2 (p=0.04). T2 anxiety (p≤0.001) and depression (p≤0.01) were higher in the control arm, but the absolute differences were small and not clinically relevant. At both time points, fewer control than screened participants were satisfied with their decision to participate in UKLS (p≤0.001). Regardless of trial allocation, cancer distress was higher in women (p≤0.01), participants aged ≤65 years (p≤0.001), current smokers (p≤0.001), those with lung cancer experience (p≤0.001) and those recruited from the Liverpool area (p≤0.001).\ud \ud \ud Conclusion Lung cancer screening using LDCT appears to have no clinically significant long-term psychosocial impact on high-risk participants. Strategies for engaging and supporting underserved groups are the key to implement routine lung cancer screening in the UK.
