128 Background: LuPSMA, a radioligand therapy targeting the cell surface protein PSMA, is approved for men with PSMA-positive mCRPC previously treated with androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) and taxane chemotherapy. Several PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are also currently approved for patients with mCRPC harboring alterations in genes associated with DNA damage repair (DDR). Given that both therapeutics result in DNA damage, we hypothesized that there would be clinical evidence of cross-resistance between the two classes of agents, with decreased efficacy in patients receiving LuPSMA following a PARPi. Methods: We abstracted retrospective data from patients at three centers who received at least one cycle of LuPSMA per the FDA label and had panel-based tumor sequencing performed. Patients with PARPi qualifying mutations were included in the analysis. PSA50 responses (i.e. ≥50% decline in PSA from baseline), PSA progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) following treatment with LuPSMA were compared between patients who received prior PARPi (PARPi-T cohort) and those who did not (PARPi-NT cohort). Results: Forty-nine patients with a PARPi qualifying alteration who received at least one cycle of LuPSMA were identified. Baseline characteristics (Gleason score, visceral metastases, race, ECOG PS, PSMA SUVmean/max) were similar between cohorts. Prior non-PARPi lines of therapy, including receipt of radium-223 (14% vs 21%), carboplatin (33% vs 36%), ≥ 2 prior ARSI (67% vs 68%), and ≥ 2 prior taxanes (43% vs 47%) were also similar between the PARP-NT and PARP-T cohorts respectively. Median PSA PFS and OS were both significantly increased in the PARPi-NT cohort as compared to the PARPi-T cohort (Table). PSA50 responses were numerically increased in the PARP-NT cohort, although this did not reach statistical significance. The most common PARPi qualifying alteration was BRCA2 (N=15). PARP-NT patients with BRCA2 alterations had significantly increased PSA PFS and OS as well as PSA50 response rates compared to the PARP-T patients. Conclusions: Prior receipt of PARPi therapy appears to negatively associate with the clinical activity of LuPSMA, with the largest difference in outcomes observed in patients with BRCA2 mutations. These data support the hypothesis that PARPi therapy may lead to clinically significant cross-resistance with LuPSMA. Prospective studies to evaluate the optimal sequence of LuPSMA and PARPi therapy are justified. [Table: see text]

OBJECTIVE: Designing practical decision support tools and other health care technology in health services research relies on a clear understanding of the cognitive processes that underlie the use of these tools. Unfortunately, methods to explore cognitive processes are rarely used in health services research. Thus, the objective of this manuscript is to introduce cognitive task analysis (CTA), a family of methods to study cognitive processes involved in completing a task, to a health services research audience. This methods article describes CTA procedures, proposes a framework for their use in health services research studies, and provides an example of its application in a pilot study. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SETTING: Observations and interviews of health care providers involved in discharge planning at six hospitals in the Veterans Health Administration. STUDY DESIGN: Qualitative study of discharge planning using CTA. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS: Data were collected from structured observations and semi-structured interviews using the Critical Decision Method and analyzed using thematic analysis. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We developed an adaptation of CTA that could be used in a clinical environment to describe clinical decision-making and other cognitive processes. The adapted CTA framework guides the user through four steps: (1) Planning, (2) Environmental Analysis, (3) Knowledge Elicitation, and (4) Analyses and Results. This adapted CTA framework provides an iterative and systematic approach to identifying and describing the knowledge, expertise, thought processes, procedures, actors, goals, and mental strategies that underlie completing a clinical task. CONCLUSIONS: A better understanding of the cognitive processes that underly clinical tasks is key to developing health care technology and decision-support tools that will have a meaningful impact on processes of care and patient outcomes. Our adapted framework offers a more rigorous and detailed method for identifying task-related cognitive processes in implementation studies and quality improvement. Our adaptation of this underutilized qualitative research method may be helpful to other researchers and inform future research in health services research.

BACKGROUND: Inadequate treatment of high blood pressure (BP) can lead to preventable adverse events in nursing home residents, while excessive treatment can lead to associated harms. METHODS: Data were extracted from the VA electronic health record and Bar Code Medication Administration system on 40,079 long-term care residents aged ≥65 years from October 2006 through September 2018 (FY2007-2018). Hypertension prevalence at admission was identified by ICD code(s) in the year prior, and antihypertensive medication use was defined as administration ≥50% of days. BP measures were averaged over 2-year epochs. RESULTS: The age-standardized prevalence of hypertension diagnosis at admission increased from 75.2% in FY2007-2008 to 85.1% in FY2017-2018 (p-value for trend 140/90 mmHg. Future research is needed to better understand the benefits and harms of BP control in nursing home residents.

BackgroundAging is accompanied by an overall dysregulation of many dynamic physiologic processes including those related to blood pressure (BP). While year-to-year BP variability is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality, no studies have examined this trend with more frequent BP assessments. Our study objective is to take the next step to examine week-to-week BP dynamics-pattern, variability, and complexity-before death.MethodsUsing a retrospective study design, we assessed BP dynamics in the 6 months before death in long-term nursing home residents between 1 October 2006 and 30 September 2017. Variability was characterized using SD and mean squared error after adjusting for diurnal variations. Complexity (i.e., amount of novel information in a trend) was examined using Shannon's entropy (bits). Generalized linear models were used to examine factors associated with overall BP variability.ResultsWe identified 17,953 nursing home residents (98.0% male, 82.5% White, mean age 80.2 years, and mean BP 125.7/68.6 mm Hg). Despite a slight trend of decreasing systolic week-to-week BP over time (delta = 7.2 mm Hg), week-to-week complexity did not change in the 6 months before death (delta = 0.02 bits). Average weekly BP variability was stable until the last 3-4 weeks of life, at which point variability increased by 30% for both systolic and diastolic BP. Factors associated with BP variability include average weekly systolic/diastolic BP, days in the nursing home, days in the hospital, and changes to antihypertensive medications.ConclusionsWeek-to-week BP variability increases substantially in the last month of life, but complexity does not change. Changes in care patterns may drive the increase in BP variability as one approaches death.

BackgroundCertain classes of antihypertensive medication may have different associations with cognitive impairment.ObjectiveTo examine the association between prevalent use of antihypertensive medications that stimulate (thiazides, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, angiotensin type I receptor blockers) versus inhibit (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers) type 2 and 4 angiotensin II receptors on cognitive impairment among older adults residing in Veterans Affairs (VA) nursing homes for long-term care.MethodsRetrospective cohort study. Long-term care residents aged 65 + years admitted to a VA nursing home from 2012 to 2019 using blood pressure medication and without cognitive impairment at admission. Main exposure was prevalent use of angiotensin II receptor type 2 and 4-'stimulating' (N = 589), 'inhibiting' (N = 3,219), or 'mixed' (N = 1,715) antihypertensive medication regimens at admission. Primary outcome was any cognitive impairment (Cognitive Function Scale).ResultsOver an average of 5.4 months of follow-up, prevalent use of regimens containing exclusively 'stimulating' antihypertensives was associated with a lower risk of any incident cognitive impairment as compared to prevalent use of regimens containing exclusively 'inhibiting' antihypertensives (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74-0.93). Results for the comparison between 'mixed' versus 'inhibiting' regimens were in the same direction but not statistically significant (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.88-1.06).ConclusionFor residents without cognitive impairment at baseline, prevalent users of regimens containing exclusively antihypertensives that stimulate type 2 and 4 angiotensin II receptors had lower rates of cognitive impairment as compared to prevalent users of regimens containing exclusively antihypertensives that inhibit these receptors. Residual confounding cannot be ruled out.

Climate Change - Abstract
In 2017, the Canadian Parks Council Climate Change Working Group, a team of federal, provincial, and territorial representatives, developed a Climate Change Adaptation Framework for Parks and Protected Areas, guiding practitioners through a simple, effective five-step adaptation process. This framework was adapted by Parks Canada into a two-day adaptation workshop approach, with 11 workshops subsequently held from September 2017 to May 2019 at Parks Canada sites in the Yukon, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Ontario. Lessons learned from each workshop have been integrated into the approach, with the development of tools and guidance for each phase of the process, and a shareable, visual “placemat” that describes each step of the framework, acting as a map for those navigating the process.

HOMOLOGOUS recombination ,MOLECULAR biology ,TUMOR markers ,PROSTATE cancer ,OXIDATIVE phosphorylation - Abstract
Androgen-indifferent prostate cancer (AIPC) is increasingly common and particularly lethal. Data describing these tumors are sparse, and AIPC remains a poorly understood malignancy. Utilizing the Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) database, we enriched for tumors with features of AIPC using previously described characteristics. Our AIPC cohort included three subgroups: aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC), neuroendocrine PC (NEPC), and double-negative PC (DNPC). Of 1496 total PC patients available for analysis, we identified 323 (22%) as MCRPC. Of those, 39 (12%) met AIPC criteria (17 AVPC, 13 NEPC, 9 DNPC) and 284 (88%) were non-AIPC. Forty-three percent of AIPC patients had de novo metastatic disease vs. 15% for non-AIPC (p = 0.003). Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) did not differ between cohorts, but microsatellite instability scores (MSI) were significantly higher in AIPC (p = 0.019). Using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), we found that genes defining response to androgens and genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation were the most downregulated, whereas genes involved in epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and immune signaling were significantly upregulated in AIPC vs. non-AIPC. Our study demonstrates the potential for predefined criteria that aim to enrich for AIPC and suggests opportunities for therapeutic investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT Background Methods Results Conclusions Deprescribing antihypertensives is of growing interest in geriatric medicine, yet the impact on functional status is unknown. We emulated a target trial of deprescribing antihypertensive medications compared with continued use on functional status measured by activities of daily living (ADL) in a long‐term care population.We included 12,238 Veteran Affairs long‐term care residents age 65+ who had a stay ≥ 12 weeks between 2006 and 2019. After 4+ weeks of stable antihypertensive medication use, residents were classified as either deprescribed antihypertensives (reduced ≥ 1 medication or ≥ 30% dose) or continued users. Residents were followed up for 2 years, or censored at discharge, admission to hospice, protocol deviation (per‐protocol analysis only), or Sept 30, 2019. The outcome was ADL dependencies (scored 0–28; higher score = worse functionality), assessed approximately every 3 months. Our primary approach was to estimate per‐protocol effects using linear mixed‐effects regressions with inverse probability of treatment and censoring weighting, overall and stratified by dementia status. We estimated intention‐to‐treat effects as a secondary analysis.In long‐term care residents, ADL scores worsened by a mean of 0.29 points (95%CI = 0.27, 0.31) per 3 months and antihypertensive deprescribing did not impact this worsening (difference between groups −0.04 points every 3 months, 95%CI = −0.15, 0.06). In the non‐dementia subgroup, ADL worsened by 0.15 points (95%CI = 0.11, 0.19) every 3 months. However, residents who were deprescribed showed a slightly improved ADL score over time while the continued users showed ADL decline (difference between groups −0.23 points every 3 months, 95%CI = −0.43, −0.03). Deprescribing was not associated with ADL change in the dementia subgroup. The intention‐to‐treat results were not meaningfully different.Antihypertensive deprescribing did not have a deleterious effect on functional status in long‐term care residents with or without dementia. This may be reassuring to residents and clinicians who are considering antihypertensive medication reduction or discontinuation in long‐term care settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PURPOSE: While
177 Lu-PSMA-617 (LuPSMA) is an effective therapy for many patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), biomarkers associated with outcomes are not well defined. We hypothesized that prostate cancer mutational profile may associate with clinical activity of LuPSMA. We devised a study to evaluate associations between mCRPC mutational profile with LuPSMA clinical outcomes. METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective analysis of patients with mCRPC with next-generation sequencing (NGS) who received LuPSMA. PSA50 response (ie, ≥50% decline in prostate-specific antigen [PSA]) rate, PSA progression free survival (PSA PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between genetically defined subgroups. RESULTS: One hundred twenty-six patients with NGS results who received at least one cycle of LuPSMA were identified. The median age was 73 (IQR, 68-78) years, 124 (98.4%) received ≥1 prior androgen receptor-signaling inhibitor, and 121 (96%) received ≥1 taxane-based chemotherapy regimen. Fifty-eight (46%) patients with a DNA damage repair gene mutation (DNA damage response group) and 59 (46.8%) with a mutation in TP53 , RB1 , or PTEN tumor suppressor genes (TSG group) were identified. After adjusting for relevant confounders, the presence of ≥1 TSG mutation was associated with shorter PSA PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.93 [95% CI, 1.05 to 3.54]; P =.034) and OS (HR, 2.65 [95% CI, 1.15 to 6.11]; P =.023). There was improved OS favoring the DNA damage response group (HR, 0.37 [95% CI, 0.14 to 0.97]; P =.044) on multivariable analysis. Univariate analysis of patients with ATM mutations had significantly higher rates of PSA50 response, PSA PFS, and OS. CONCLUSION: Outcomes on LuPSMA varied on the basis of mutational profile. Prospective studies to define the clinical activity of LuPSMA in predefined genomic subgroups are justified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

796.07 - Abstract
This study explores the esoteric and often bewildering conceptualisation of coach philosophies and their development. Activities encouraging coaches to reflect on their personal philosophy are rife within coach education courses but there is currently limited understanding of the boundaries and definition of the concept. Given the lack of clarity, it is unsurprising that the articulation of a philosophy is often superficial and ineffective, with little evidence of execution in practice. The aim of this study was to trace the origins and development of the philosophies of sport coaching students throughout the duration of a higher education sport coaching degree at a U.K. university between 2010 and 2013. Participants (n=77) submitted a written statement of their philosophy in the first year of study and were subsequently interviewed in both their second (n=11) and third years (n=7). Using Bourdieu’s concept of habitus as a framework, data were thematically analysed and narratives from individual participants discussed. Results demonstrated that student coaches often struggled to articulate their philosophy and value systems without support but it was clear that personal experience and significant others had exerted major influences on the shaping of their values regarding sport. Participants found reflection challenging and, while the coaches involved in the study demonstrated flexibility and evolution in their approach, they suggested they had observed many other coaches who failed to develop their practice, instead adhering rigidly to those methods by which they themselves were coached. The experiences of the novice coaches explored in the study prompt some practical recommendations for coach educators who would seek to dispel discriminatory practices and to agitate the often stagnant waters of sport culture.

ageing ,synaptic alterations ,hippocampus ,synaptic vulnerability - Abstract
The loss and dysfunction of selected populations of synapses is characteristic of mammalian brain ageing and alterations in these receptive compartments are considered to underpin age-related cognitive decline. Discrete neuro-anatomical regions of the cortical architecture harbour disparate populations of synapses that demonstrate significant heterogeneity with regards to advancing age. Of particular interest is the hippocampus, which is selectively vulnerable during ageing. The hippocampal synaptic architecture exhibits subtle structural and biophysical alterations, which are considered to promote the manifestation of cognitive symptoms in aged patients. This notion of “selective synaptic vulnerability” has been the focal point of a multitude of morphological studies investigating age-related cognitive decline, which have often provided tentative conclusions as to how this phenomenon may be regulated. The molecular correlates bolstering the reported age-dependent morphological and functional shift remain elusive and studies are only now beginning to unravel how discrete organelles, proteins and signalling cascades may hierarchically or synergistically attenuate synaptic function. Until there is considerable comprehension of how functional mediators drive the biochemical substrates regulating age-related cognitive decline, there are limited strategic avenues for the development of efficacious therapeutic interventions that promote successful ageing. To address the phenomenon of selective synaptic vulnerability, we have utilised an unbiased combinatorial approach, including quantitative proteomic analyses coupled with in vivo candidate assessments in lower order animals (Drosophila), to temporally profile regional synapse and synaptic mitochondrial biochemistry during normal healthy ageing. We begin by demonstrating that cortical mitochondria located at the synaptic terminal are morphologically distinct from non-synaptic mitochondria in adult rodents and human patients. Biochemical isolation and purification of discrete mitochondrial subpopulations from control adult rat fore-brain enabled generation of synaptic and non-synaptic mitochondrial molecular fingerprints using quantitative proteomics, which revealed that expression of the mitochondrial proteome is highly dependent on subcellular localisation. We subsequently demonstrate that the molecular differences observed between mitochondrial sub-populations are capable of selectively influencing synaptic morphology in-vivo. Next, we sought to examine how the synaptic mitochondrial proteome was dynamically and temporally regulated throughout ageing to determine whether protein expression changes within the mitochondrial milieu are actively regulating the age-dependent vulnerability of the synaptic compartment. Proteomic profiling of wild-type mouse cortical synaptic and non-synaptic mitochondria across the lifespan revealed significant age-dependent heterogeneity between mitochondrial subpopulations, with aged organelles exhibiting unique protein expression profiles. Recapitulation of aged synaptic mitochondrial protein expression at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction has the propensity to perturb the synaptic architecture, demonstrating that temporal regulation of the mitochondrial proteome may directly modulate the stability of the synapse in vivo. Although we had comprehensively characterised the temporal regulation of rodent cortical mitochondrial subpopulations, providing a number of novel candidates that may be mediating synaptic vulnerability during ageing, we sought to establish whether similar alterations were occurring in the primate brain. Using synaptic isolates from neuroanatomically distinct age-resistant (occipital cortex) and age-vulnerable (hippocampus) regions, we demonstrate that synaptic ageing is brainregion dependent and that discrete populations of synapses significantly differ at a biochemical level in the healthy human and non-human primate brain. Recapitulation of aged hippocampal protein expression with genetic manipulation in vivo revealed numerous novel candidates that have the propensity to significantly modulate multiple morphological parameters at the synapse. Furthermore, we demonstrate that several of these candidates sit downstream of TGFβ1 and activation of the TGFβ1 signalling cascade in hippocampal synaptic populations drives the aberrant expression of selected candidates during ageing. Finally, we show that selective pharmacological inhibition of this pathway rescues synaptic phenotypes in multiple candidate lines. The data affirmed that activation of the TGFβ1 transduction pathway modulates synaptic stability and thus may contribute to the selective vulnerability of hippocampal synapses during ageing.
