Thirty-four H. influenzae isolates were identified in the children (n=16/90; 18%) and adults (n=18/200; 9%) infected with HIV. All isolates were nontypeable H. influenzae and were less susceptible to ampicillin (62%) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (41%). In this study, the H. influenzae strains carried by patients infected with HIV were dominated by non-capsulated types. Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a highly penetrant autosomal dominant cancer predisposition disorder caused by germline pathogenic variants. Patients with LFS have increased oxidative phosphorylation capacity in skeletal muscle and oxidative stress in blood. Metformin inhibits oxidative phosphorylation, reducing available energy for cancer cell proliferation and decreasing production of reactive oxygen species that cause DNA damage. Thus, metformin may provide pharmacologic risk reduction for cancer in patients with LFS, but its safety in nondiabetic patients with germline pathogenic variants has not been documented. This study assessed safety and tolerability of metformin in nondiabetic LFS patients and measured changes in metabolic profiles. Adult patients with LFS and germline variant received 14 weeks of metformin. Blood samples were obtained for measurement of serum insulin-like growth factor-1, insulin, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3. Hepatic mitochondrial function was assespected in these individuals. This study adds to the rationale for development of a pharmacologic risk-reduction clinical trial of metformin in LFS. Many Veterans are high risk for lung cancer. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is an effective strategy for lung cancer early detection in a high-risk population. Our objective was to describe a
