Median time interval between WBCT and CSS was 1 day −29 to 30 days. Patient characteristics are shown in Table 1 Some osseous locations were not included in CSS in some centers only those osseous locations having valid measurements for both WBCT and CSS methods were considered ‘definitely present’ and ‘probably present’ entries were merged and counted as lytic lesions WBCT and CSS were tested for difference in detection sensitivity with the exact McNemar test including odds ratio and 95% confidence interval The 95% confidence interval for difference in paired proportion was calculated Time to progression (TTP) of disease was calculated from time of CSS onwards Log-rank test was used to compare TTP between groups Aalen–Johansen estimator was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of progression accounting for death as competing event Analysis was performed with statistical software R 3.3.0 (Vienna A total of 212 patients were included in the analysis for comparison of the WBCT and CSS imaging techniques no lytic bone lesions were detected with either technique and in 43 patients (20.3%) lesions were detected with both CSS and WBCT lytic lesions were seen in CSS but not by WBCT lytic bone lesions were seen by WBCT but not on CSS (odds ratio 4.50 (2.38–9.24); P<0.0001) Table 2 shows the numbers of patients with definitely or probably positive as well as probably or definitely negative results in CSS and WBCT X-rays (left) and CT (right) showing the limited field of view for some CT protocols in which the arms had been placed above the head. In such cases, the elbows protruded outwards, and as a result, the distal humeri were either ‘cut off’ or lay in the field periphery where the image quality of many CT scanners is limited. Detection differences (including 95% confidence intervals) between WBCT and X−ray for the whole patient group in % After review of the clinical data provided by the contributing centers and the results of CSS 66 patients were identified as having SMM according to the 2003 IMWG guidelines Those 54 patients were included in the current analysis In 42 of the untreated SMM patients (77.8%), both CSS and WBCT techniques did not show any lesions. In 12 patients, however, WBCT identified osteolytic lesions (22.2%), while CSS was by definition negative (P=0.0005) (Table 3) Sensitivity of WBCT was most significantly superior to CSS in the spine and pelvis as shown in Figure 3. Those patients in whom CSS showed bone destructions in the appendicular skeleton (partly missed by WBCT) did, by definition, not fulfill the criteria of SMM and were not included in this analysis. Detection differences (including 95% confidence intervals) between WBCT and CSS in patients with SMM in % as defined by standard radiological criteria was detected by both techniques in 14 SMM patients osteoporosis was detected only on CSS (odds ratio 12.0; P=0.003) CSS showed neither osteoporosis nor a fracture Cumulative incidence of progression to symptomatic MM in patients with or without osteolytic lesions by WBCT 48 (60.8%) showed osteolyses in CT while in 40 (50.6%) patients osteolyses were found in CSS A difference between both imaging techniques was found with CT positivity and CSS negativity in 16 (20.3%) and CSS positivity with CT negativity in 8 (10.1%) of MM patients No prognostic significance was found for the presence of lytic bone lesions identified by either technique (progression-free survival: P=0.3 and OS: P=0.4) concern has been raised that detection of bone lesions earlier might trigger systemic treatment at a time when it is not yet necessary thus causing unnecessary potential treatment side effects or complications to patients this study sought to determine how frequently bone lesions are detected by WBCT in patients who and to learn whether patients with positive WBCT but negative CSS are at increased risk for earlier MM progression WBCT and CSS are rarely performed at the same time eight centers within the IMWG agreed to retrospectively collect imaging and clinical data from patients in whom WBCT and CSS had been performed for any reason (for example CT as new standard and CSS as part of a clinical trial and so on) within 30 days Another benefit of performing this analysis was that different imaging protocols would be available for comparison which would aid in establishing minimal requirements for WBCT protocols Guidelines on this topic will be published separately by the participating radiologists and scans that were performed for attenuation correction in PET-CT and/or with the arms were placed above the head even lower than in a dedicated skeletal low-dose CT The reason is that the diagnostician focusses mainly on reading the PET study and uses the CT scans solely for the attenuation correction of the PET raw data and to attribute an Fluorodeoxyglucose-avid focus to an anatomical location elbows and proximal forearms will typically lie outside the field for which the CT scan is reconstructed The result will be that the X-rays are attenuated not only by the objects within the reconstructed field of view but also by structures outside of it This causes malcalculations during the image reconstructions and to a significant degradation of the image quality particularly in the periphery of the field of view and there will be additional streak artefacts and also increased image noise WBCT was significantly superior to CSS for detecting osteoporosis particularly for the identification of osteoporotic fractures osteoporotic fractures were invisible by CSS a radiological diagnosis of osteoporosis in the absence of lytic bone lesion should be used carefully when making clinical care decisions in patients with monoclonal plasma cell disorders Analysis of different sites within the skeleton revealed that CT was significantly superior at detecting osteolytic lesions in the axial skeleton the distal portions of the humeri lay outside the field of view so that lesions in these regions would be missed This was particularly evident in studies in which the arms had been placed above the head with the elbows bent as is commonly the case in examinations of the body trunk in WBCT protocols performed for plasma cell disorders the arms be placed alongside the body and that the scans include both the skull up to the vertex as well as the entire femora and knees Since beam hardening artefacts may arise if the arms are permitted to lie on the couch at the same level as the spine thereby degrading the image quality of the vertebrae it is likely preferable to instruct patients to fold their hands in front of the body which places the arms in an elevated position and not at the same level as the vertebrae Since with modern multislice CT scanners a WBCT scan lasts less than a minute such a position is easy to maintain for vast majority of patients bone destruction detected by WBCT imaging alone was likewise of prognostic significance with a median TTP of 83 months in patients without versus 38 months in patients with lytic lesions and a 2-year progression-free survival probability of 58% versus 33% It cannot be entirely excluded that the presence of lytic bone lesions in WBCT could have led to an earlier initiation of treatment in some cases We are unable to trace which events led to the diagnosis of symptomatic MM in individual cases and have no information on whether the lytic bone lesions that had escaped detection in the CSS were actually seen in the WBCT we consider it unlikely that the diagnosis of symptomatic MM was immediately elicited by the results of the WBCT study the CT part of a PET-CT scan can replace a separate WBCT it must be noted that this would require that the tube current to be of sufficient intensity the CT portion of PET-CT only serves for attenuation correction and is obtained with very-low-tube currents—far below that needed for true low-dose skeletal CT protocols Although the skeleton is a high-contrast organ due to excessive image noise—and so was the case in some CT scans that were read in this study some device should be used to support the arms and place them at an elevated level above the couch since patients will not be able to maintain such position during an entire PET scan The only significant difference between SMM patients with solely osteolyses in CT compared to others was a higher creatinine in serum reflecting presumably a more advanced stage of disease but that it is also of borderline prognostic significance for MM patients although we recorded the presence of hyperdense

Association for Catholic Education recommends acknowledging students and staff who express “alternative gender feelings,” while at the same time suggesting educators keep their distance from what they refer to as “gender ideology.”  La Croix reported on a letter from Philippe Delorme that appears to be looking for “a golden mean between confessing that there are only two genders and embracing the gender ideology.” “Gender ideology” is a term used by some Catholics who want to enforce the false binary of male/female as the only form of gender identity The “ideology” appears to refer to any perspectives which support a more expansive understanding of gender beyond assigning people as male or female at birth The letter acknowledges a need for Catholic schools to help guide students and parents in responding to existential questions such as gender Recognizing that there has been an increase in students questioning their gender identity “‘[I]t seems obvious to us that in a society that expects a lot from its educators our duty is to try to support these young people and their families in the face of these existential questions in the light of what inspires our educational project.'” The five-page letter helps teachers with this duty by providing “information on research in the field of gender the view of Christian anthropologists on the matter Drawing inspiration from Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia that calls Catholics to be attentive to all people the letter seeks to respond to the needs of students Delorme describes the letter as rooted in Catholic texts that require Christians to reach out to all people: [W]e must welcome children questioning their gender identity by helping them to know themselves starting from what they feel and not from a fad on Instagram.” The letter also addresses how Catholic schools should handle gender identity issues within the framework of French law Although Catholic schools fall under different regulations than public schools they still must offer sexual education courses Catholic schools are exempt from certain requirements and do not have to allow students to change their names on records or to alter uniform or clothing requirements Delorme insists that Catholic schools maintain the same respect for all students and will continue to offer the French standard for sexual education courses refusing to enroll or expelling students because of their gender identity would be a criminal offence we strive to fight against all forms of discrimination.'” This letter was composed not as a response to angry backlash or an incident with a student it was written in response to parents asking for guidance ‘my kid tells me that… and I don’t know what to do.’”  As Catholic schools around the world enact policies about gender identity the French Association for Catholic Education seeks an alternative path from some transgender-negative U.S instead seeking to account for both Catholic tradition and modern science “We want to make our schools a real space of freedom for young people,” Delorme shared “They must be given space to progress and take the time to reflect and website in

Tap to enable a layout that focuses on the article Print L.A.’s biggest stockbrokerage ignored or didn’t properly investigate warning signs that one of its brokers was pushing clients to invest in a pump-and-dump scheme the Securities and Exchange Commission alleged Tuesday The commission charged Wedbush Securities Inc. the largest subsidiary of downtown L.A.’s Wedbush Inc. with failing to properly supervise a former broker who it alleges received kickbacks from the scheme’s organizers in exchange for recommending her clients invest in certain stocks and engage in trades aimed at manipulating their prices 2018A previous version of the article named Wedbush Inc as the entity charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission The actual entity is Wedbush Securities Inc. SEC officials called broker Timary Delorme’s conduct abusive and called Wedbush Securities a “recidivist,” noting that this is the commission’s second action against the firm this year The charges mark the latest in a spate of regulatory actions against the brokerage which in the last six months has paid more than $1.5 million in fines and penalties related to allegations of misconduct from the SEC the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and other regulators “Brokerage firms play an important role in protecting retail investors from abusive conduct by brokers like Delorme,” said Marc Berger director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office “This case sends a clear message that we will not tolerate broker-dealers that fail to exercise appropriate supervision over employees.” Wedbush spokeswoman Natalie Svider said the firm would not comment on pending litigation a Costa Mesa resident who had worked at Wedbush since 1976 an Ohio man who was sentenced last year to 12 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to securities fraud Their connection spanned from 2008 through 2014 Engelbrecht engaged in so-called pump-and-dumps in which parties work to inflate the price of a stock then sell shares before prices fall thinly traded securities of little-known companies No specific penny stocks were named in the SEC’s order which calls for a hearing on the matter and demands that Wedbush Securities answer the commission’s charges within 20 days The order does not specify potential penalties bought shares of companies that were part of those schemes which helped inflate the stock prices and made it appear that the stocks were actively traded Engelbrecht paid kickbacks to Delorme’s husband In a separate settlement announced Tuesday the SEC fined Delorme $50,000 and barred her from working in the securities industry Delorme told The Times on Tuesday that she cooperated with the federal investigation into Engelbrecht was not charged with any criminal violations and received no kickbacks She said her husband and some friends had investments with Engelbrecht’s companies but said Wedbush Securities knew for more than a year that Delorme was connected to fraudulent stock transactions but allowed her practices to continue the SEC alleged in its charges against the firm the commission said a supervisor in 2012 reviewed an email from Delorme to a customer involved in the pump-and-dump scheme that outlined the customer’s “efforts to assist in inflating the price of penny stocks.” two customers filed complaints with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority alleging Delorme and the firm made manipulative transactions in related securities The fact that Delorme’s business with Engelbrecht was able to continue shows the firm’s supervisory systems “lacked any reasonable coherent structure” for investigating potential market manipulation and that there was “confusion as to whose responsibility it is to conduct investigations.” Wedbush Securities has been hit with several regulatory actions of late including one handed down by the SEC last month Wedbush agreed to pay $1 million to settle charges that it had significantly underestimated the amount of cash it needed to hold in an account to pay customers if the firm collapsed The SEC in that action said the brokerage has a history of compliance problems noting the firm has been the subject of numerous recent regulatory actions and until recently did not have “adequate personnel for a regulated entity of its size and import.” a Beverly Hills attorney who handles securities matters and has represented clients who have sued Wedbush said the firm has a history of failing to investigate potential problems most brokerage firms take those very seriously and do what they can to investigate and control those situations,” he said there seems to be a lack of that kind of diligence at Wedbush james.koren@latimes.com Follow me: @jrkoren Hollywood Inc.
