Objective:
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition associated with deficits in cognitive functioning (executive functioning [EF], attention, working memory, etc.), behavioral impairments, and abnormalities in brain structure including cortical and subcortical volumes. Rates of comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are high in children with FASD and contribute to significant functional impairments. Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) includes a cluster of symptoms (e.g. underactive/slow-moving, confusion, fogginess, daydreaming) found to be related to but distinct from ADHD, and previous research suggests that it may be common in FASD. We explored SCT by examining the relationship between SCT and both brain volumes (corpus callosum, caudate, and hippocampus) and objective EF measures in children with FASD vs. typically developing controls.
Participants and Methods:This is a secondary analysis of a larger longitudinal CIFASD study that consisted of 35 children with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and 30 controls between the ages of 9 to 18 at follow-up. Children completed a set of cognitive assessments (WISC-IV, DKEFS, & NIH Toolbox) and an MRI scan, while parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), which includes a SCT scale. We examined group differences between PAE and controls in relation to SCT symptoms, EF scores, and subcortical volumes. Then, we performed within-and between-group comparisons with and without controlling for total intracranial volume, age, attention problems, and ADHD problems between SCT and subcortical brain volumes. Finally, we performed correlations between SCT and EF measures for both groups.
Results:Compared to controls, participants with PAE showed significantly more SCT symptoms on the CBCL (t [57] = 3.66, p = 0.0006), more parent-rated attention problems and ADHD symptoms, lower scores across several EF measures (DKEFS Trail-Making and Verbal Fluency; WISC-IV Digit Span, Symbol Search, and Coding; effect sizes ranging from 0.44 to 1.16), and smaller regional volumes in the caudate, hippocampus, and posterior areas of the corpus callosum. In the PAE group, a smaller hippocampus was associated with more SCT symptoms (controlling for parent-rated attention problems and ADHD problems, age, and intracranial volume). However, in the control group, a larger mid posterior and posterior corpus callosum were significantly associated with more SCT symptoms (controlling for parent-rated attention problems, intracranial volume, and age; r [24] = 0.499, p = 0.009; r [24] = 0.517, p = 0.007). In terms of executive functioning, children in the PAE group with more SCT symptoms performed worse on letter sequencing of the Trail-Making subtest (controlling attention problems & ADHD symptoms). In comparison, those in the control group with more SCT symptoms performed better on letter sequencing and combined number letter sequencing of the Trail-Making subtest (controlling attention problems).
Conclusions:Findings suggest that children with FASD experience elevated SCT symptoms compared to typically developing controls, which may be associated with worse performance on EF tasks and smaller subcortical volumes (hippocampus) when taking attention difficulties and ADHD symptoms into account. Additional research into the underlying causes and correlates of SCT in FASD could result in improved tailoring of interventions for this population.

Objective:
To characterize residential social vulnerability among healthcare personnel (HCP) and evaluate its association with severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Design:Case–control study.
Setting:This study analyzed data collected in May–December 2020 through sentinel and population-based surveillance in healthcare facilities in Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon.
Participants:Data from 2,168 HCP (1,571 cases and 597 controls from the same facilities) were analyzed.
Methods:HCP residential addresses were linked to the social vulnerability index (SVI) at the census tract level, which represents a ranking of community vulnerability to emergencies based on 15 US Census variables. The primary outcome was SARS-CoV-2 infection, confirmed by positive antigen or real-time reverse-transcriptase– polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test on nasopharyngeal swab. Significant differences by SVI in participant characteristics were assessed using the Fisher exact test. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations between case status and SVI, controlling for HCP role and patient care activities, were estimated using logistic regression.
Results:Significantly higher proportions of certified nursing assistants (48.0%) and medical assistants (44.1%) resided in high SVI census tracts, compared to registered nurses (15.9%) and physicians (11.6%). HCP cases were more likely than controls to live in high SVI census tracts (aOR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.37–2.26).
Conclusions:These findings suggest that residing in more socially vulnerable census tracts may be associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection risk among HCP and that residential vulnerability differs by HCP role. Efforts to safeguard the US healthcare workforce and advance health equity should address the social determinants that drive racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic health disparities.

Background: Healthcare facilities have experienced many challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including limited personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies. Healthcare personnel (HCP) rely on PPE, vaccines, and other infection control measures to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infections. We describe PPE concerns reported by HCP who had close contact with COVID-19 patients in the workplace and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Method: The CDC collaborated with Emerging Infections Program (EIP) sites in 10 states to conduct surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 infections in HCP. EIP staff interviewed HCP with positive SARS-CoV-2 viral tests (ie, cases) to collect data on demographics, healthcare roles, exposures, PPE use, and concerns about their PPE use during COVID-19 patient care in the 14 days before the HCP’s SARS-CoV-2 positive test. PPE concerns were qualitatively coded as being related to supply (eg, low quality, shortages); use (eg, extended use, reuse, lack of fit test); or facility policy (eg, lack of guidance). We calculated and compared the percentages of cases reporting each concern type during the initial phase of the pandemic (April–May 2020), during the first US peak of daily COVID-19 cases (June–August 2020), and during the second US peak (September 2020–January 2021). We compared percentages using mid-P or Fisher exact tests (α = 0.05). Results: Among 1,998 HCP cases occurring during April 2020–January 2021 who had close contact with COVID-19 patients, 613 (30.7%) reported ≥1 PPE concern (Table 1). The percentage of cases reporting supply or use concerns was higher during the first peak period than the second peak period (supply concerns: 12.5% vs 7.5%; use concerns: 25.5% vs 18.2%; p Conclusions: Although lower percentages of HCP cases overall reported PPE concerns after the first US peak, our results highlight the importance of developing capacity to produce and distribute PPE during times of increased demand. The difference we observed among selected groups of cases may indicate that PPE access and use were more challenging for some, such as nonphysicians and nursing home HCP. These findings underscore the need to ensure that PPE is accessible and used correctly by HCP for whom use is recommended.

Aim:
This paper describes the study protocol, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention package called ‘Enhanced Primary Healthcare’ (EnPHC) on the process of care and intermediate clinical outcomes among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension. Other outcome measures include patients’ experience and healthcare providers’ job satisfaction.
Background:In 2014, almost two-thirds of Malaysia’s adult population aged 18 years or older had T2DM, hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia. An analysis of health system performance from 2016 to 2018 revealed that the control and management of diabetes and hypertension in Malaysia was suboptimal with almost half of the patients not diagnosed and just one-quarter of patients with diabetes appropriately treated. EnPHC framework aims to improve diagnosis and effective management of T2DM, hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia and their risk factors by increasing prevention, optimising management and improving surveillance of diagnosed patients.
Methods:This is a quasi-experimental controlled study which involves 20 intervention and 20 control clinics in two different states in Malaysia, namely Johor and Selangor. The clinics in the two states were matched and randomly allocated to ‘intervention’ and ‘control’ arms. The EnPHC framework targets different levels from community to primary healthcare clinics and integrated referral networks.
Data are collected via a retrospective chart review (RCR), patient exit survey, healthcare provider survey and an intervention checklist. The data collected are entered into tablet computers which have installed in them an offline survey application. Interrupted time series and difference-in-differences (DiD) analyses will be conducted to report outcomes.

Background
Schizophrenia is associated with robust hippocampal volume deficits but subregion volume deficits, their associations with cognition, and contributing genes remain to be determined.
MethodsHippocampal formation (HF) subregion volumes were obtained using FreeSurfer 6.0 from individuals with schizophrenia (n = 176, mean age ± s.d. = 39.0 ± 11.5, 132 males) and healthy volunteers (n = 173, mean age ± s.d. = 37.6 ± 11.3, 123 males) with similar mean age, gender, handedness, and race distributions. Relationships between the HF subregion volume with the largest between group difference, neuropsychological performance, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms were assessed.
ResultsThis study found a significant group by region interaction on hippocampal subregion volumes. Compared to healthy volunteers, individuals with schizophrenia had significantly smaller dentate gyrus (DG) (Cohen's d = −0.57), Cornu Ammonis (CA) 4, molecular layer of the hippocampus, hippocampal tail, and CA 1 volumes, when statistically controlling for intracranial volume; DG (d = −0.43) and CA 4 volumes remained significantly smaller when statistically controlling for mean hippocampal volume. DG volume showed the largest between group difference and significant positive associations with visual memory and speed of processing in the overall sample. Genome-wide association analysis with DG volume as the quantitative phenotype identified rs56055643 (β = 10.8, p < 5 × 10−8, 95% CI 7.0–14.5) on chromosome 3 in high linkage disequilibrium with MOBP. Gene-based analyses identified associations between SLC25A38 and RPSA and DG volume.
ConclusionsThis study suggests that DG dysfunction is fundamentally involved in schizophrenia pathophysiology, that it may contribute to cognitive abnormalities in schizophrenia, and that underlying biological mechanisms may involve contributions from MOBP, SLC25A38, and RPSA.

Summary
Radiological assessment forms an integral part of the multidisciplinary management of gynaecological cancers. This chapter describes the role of imaging modalities in gynaecological cancer. Peritoneal spread from other tumours can mimic ovarian cancer. Ultrasound or computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsies of peritoneal deposits can be performed, and the transvaginal ultrasound approach can be used for isolated pelvic disease. Imaging has a vital role to play in determining correct management of cervical cancer, at initial staging, recurrent disease and looking for complications. The role of cross-sectional imaging in the management of endometrial cancer has changed as a result of the (A Study in the Treatment of Endometrial Cancer (ASTEC)) trial. CT is performed in stage IV disease, and plays a role in radiotherapy planning in more advanced stages of disease. CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are performed in cases which are chemoresistant or have a high FIGO score.
