A lack of effective coordination and communication between ambulatory care physicians and hospitals, including the lack of follow-up care, poses a challenge to the recovery process of patients suffering from cardiac disease, often resulting in rehospitalisation and adverse outcomes. This innovative care programme aims to bridge the gap between ambulatory and hospital care. A key element of this programme is specifically trained care managers (Cardiolotse) who provide post-discharge support, access to additional resources and help the patient to navigate successfully through the healthcare system.

The study is set up as a prospective, randomised, controlled trial. Allocation to intervention group (support of care managers) and control group (usual care) follows an allocation ratio of 11 using block randomisation. Sample size calculations resulted in 1454patients per group after adjusting for potential non-compliance. All participants are surveyed at discharge, after 3 and 12months. OD36 The primary outcome of the study is the 12-month rehospitalisation rate. Secondary outcomes include differences in length of hospital stay, mortality, quality-adjusted life years, costs and patient satisfaction. Statistical analysis and economic evaluation will be complemented by a process evaluation.

The new healthcare programme is designed to support patients when leaving hospital with cardiac conditions by easing the transition between sectors through access to Cardiolotses and individualised care plans. We hypothesise that the programme reduces rehospitalisation and improves clinically relevant patient outcomes.

Brief interventions for suicide risk among patients treated in acute care settings like the emergency department are needed. The Safety Planning Intervention is a promising approach but has yet to undergo a high quality, individual level randomized controlled trial.

This paper describes the methods associated with an individual level randomized controlled trial of the Safety Planning Intervention compared to a control condition comprised of reviewing risk factors and warning signs.

The sample comprised patients 18years and older presenting to one of three different emergency departments with suicide related emergencies (target n=484). Eligible patients were approached, consented, and randomized to the intervention (Safety Planning Intervention) or control (risk factors and warning signs). They were assessed at 1, 3 and 6months after their index visit. The primary outcome is suicidal behavior. The study also assessed mechanisms of action. OD36 Data analyses are pending.

We identified and addressed key challenges to studying suicidal patients in the emergency department, including difficulty enrolling during the emergency department visit, ascertaining outcomes in patients that are historically very difficult to follow, and addressing the ambiguity of suicidal behavior. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03227991.

Despite the health benefits of physical activity for cancer survivors, nearly 60% of young adult cancer survivors (YACS) are physically inactive. Few physical activity interventions have been designed specifically for YACS.

To describe the rationale and design of the IMPACT (IMproving Physical Activity after Cancer Treatment) trial, which tests the efficacy of a theory-based, mobile physical activity intervention for YACS.

A total of 280 physically inactive YACS (diagnosed at ages 18-39) will be randomized to a self-help control or intervention condition. All participants will receive an activity tracker and companion mobile app, cellular-enabled scale, individual videochat session, and access to a Facebook group. link2 Intervention participants will also receive a 6-month mobile intervention based on social cognitive theory, which targets improvements in behavioral capability, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and social support, and incorporates self-regulation strategies and behavior change techniques. The phas potential to be adopted on a larger scale and reduce cancer-related morbidity.

Preparation would consist of a stockpiling of best practices for clinical trial design, analysis and operations during the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic as well as continuous development of treatments and methodology between pandemics. This development would be facilitated by a global clinical trial pandemic reserve similar to the military reserves consisting of medical and quantitative methods professionals who would remain engaged between pandemics. Continuous identification of potential antiviral drugs and diagnostic methods would also be needed. Specific methodology addressed includes the importance of large simple trials, follow up time, efficacy endpoint, appropriate estimands, non-inferiority trials, more sophisticated patient accrual models and procedures for data sharing between clinical trials.Approximately 40-50% of pediatric cancer survivors (PCS) are overweight or obese; increasing their risk for metabolic syndrome and other negative long-term physical health complications. Using our successful pilot trial testing the preliminary feasibility and efficacy of NOURISH for Healthy Transitions (NOURISH-T), we refined our intervention, now NOURISH-T+, and will implement these refinements in this larger, multi-site randomized control trial. Parents of PCS with overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 85th%ile), age 5-12, ≥6 months off treatment are randomly assigned to the NOURISH-T+ intervention or Enhanced Usual Care (EUC) comparison. Parents in NOURISH-T+ will participate in a 6-session, manualized intervention, with an additional dietician session and 2 PCS sessions, as well as post-intervention booster sessions. link2 EUC consists of a one-time informational session, nationally available brochures and follow-up check-ins. Both study conditions will be conducted remotely via a videoconferencing platform. link3 Parents and PCS will be assessed on anthropometric measures, physical activity (PA) and dietary behaviors at baseline, 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-intervention. We will enroll a diverse group of 260 parents/PCS dyads from four pediatric oncology clinics with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of our intervention across diverse pediatric oncology clinics. Our main aim is to compare the impact of NOURISH-T+ with EUC on PCS BMI z-score. OD36 Secondary aims are to compare intervention impact on PCS PA and eating behaviors and parent BMI and behaviors as well as to explore potential moderators of the intervention. link2 Our longer-term goal is to establish a framework for future translation and dissemination of NOURISH-T+.
Several studies report a high prevalence of non-adherence to prescribed immunosuppressive (IS) medications among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), yet few interventions have been effective for helping patients sustain appropriate post-transplant adherence. We describe a multifaceted, evidence-based, medication adherence monitoring strategy ('TAKE IT') that leverages available transplant center resources to identify potential medication non-adherence and other concerns earlier to prevent complications that could result from inadequate IS adherence.

The TAKE IT strategy includes 1) medication adherence mobile application; 2) routine, online patient self-reported adherence assessments; 3) care alert notifications via the electronic health record (EHR) directed to transplant coordinators; 4) quarterly adherence reports to monitor IS values and summarize adherence trends; 5) deployment of adherence support tools tailored to specific adherence concerns. To test the TAKE IT intervention, we will conduct a twocompared to usual care.The p53/p21 pathway is activated in response to cell stress. However, its role in acute lung injury has not been elucidated. Acute lung injury is associated with disruption of the alveolo-capillary barrier leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mechanical ventilation may be necessary to support gas exchange in patients with ARDS, however, high positive airway pressures can cause regional overdistension of alveolar units and aggravate lung injury. Here, we report that acute lung injury and alveolar overstretching activate the p53/p21 pathway to maintain homeostasis and avoid massive cell apoptosis. A systematic pooling of transcriptomic data from animal models of lung injury demonstrates the enrichment of specific p53- and p21-dependent gene signatures and a validated senescence profile. In a clinically relevant, murine model of acid aspiration and mechanical ventilation, we observed changes in the nuclear envelope and the underlying chromatin, DNA damage and activation of the Tp53/p21 pathway. Absence of Cdkn1a decreased the senescent response, but worsened lung injury due to increased cell apoptosis. Conversely, treatment with lopinavir and/or ritonavir led to Cdkn1a overexpression and ameliorated cell apoptosis and lung injury. The activation of these mechanisms was associated with early markers of senescence, including expression of senescence-related genes and increases in senescence-associated heterochromatin foci in alveolar cells. Autopsy samples from lungs of patients with ARDS revealed increased senescence-associated heterochromatin foci. Collectively, these results suggest that acute lung injury activates p53/p21 as an antiapoptotic mechanism to ameliorate damage, but with the side effect of induction of senescence.Immunomodulatory medications are a mainstay of treatment for autoimmune diseases and malignancies. In addition to their direct effects on immune cells, these medications also impact the gut microbiota. link3 Drug-induced shifts in commensal microbes can lead to indirect but important changes in the immune response. We performed a comprehensive literature search focusing on immunotherapy/microbe interactions. Immunotherapies were categorized into 5 subtypes based on their mechanisms of action cell trafficking inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, immunomodulators, antiproliferative drugs, and inflammatory cytokine inhibitors. link3 Although no consistent relationships were observed between types of immunotherapy and microbiota, most immunotherapies were associated with shifts in specific colonizing bacterial taxa. The relationships between colonizing microbes and drug efficacy were not well-studied for autoimmune diseases. In contrast, the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer was tied to the baseline composition of the gut microbiota. There was a paucity of high-quality data; existing data were generated using heterogeneous sampling and analytic techniques, and most studies involved small numbers of participants. Further work is needed to elucidate the extent and clinical significance of immunotherapy effects on the human microbiome.
