Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is moderately heritable, however genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for MDD, as well as for related continuous outcomes, have not shown consistent results. Attempts to elucidate the genetic basis of MDD may be hindered by heterogeneity in diagnosis. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) scale provides a widely used tool for measuring depressive symptoms clustered in four different domains which can be combined together into a total score but also can be analysed as separate symptom domains. METHOD We performed a meta-analysis of GWAS of the CES-D symptom clusters. We recruited 12 cohorts with the 20- or 10-item CES-D scale (32 528 persons). RESULTS One single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs713224, located near the brain-expressed melatonin receptor (MTNR1A) gene, was associated with the somatic complaints domain of depression symptoms, with borderline genome-wide significance (p discovery = 3.82 × 10-8). The SNP was analysed in an additional five cohorts comprising the replication sample (6813 persons). However, the association was not consistent among the replication sample (p discovery+replication = 1.10 × 10-6) with evidence of heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS Despite the effort to harmonize the phenotypes across cohorts and participants, our study is still underpowered to detect consistent association for depression, even by means of symptom classification. On the contrary, the SNP-based heritability and co-heritability estimation results suggest that a very minor part of the variation could be captured by GWAS, explaining the reason of sparse findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Golf is a sport played in 206 countries worldwide by over 50 million people. It is possible that participation in golf, which is a form of physical activity, may be associated with effects on longevity, the cardiovascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal systems, as well as on mental health and well-being. We outline our scoping review protocol to examine the relationships and effects of golf on physical and mental health. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Best practice methodological frameworks suggested by Arksey and O'Malley, Levac et al and the Joanna Briggs Institute will serve as our guide, providing clarity and rigour. A scoping review provides a framework to (1) map the key concepts and evidence, (2) summarise and disseminate existing research findings to practitioners and policymakers and (3) identify gaps in the existing research. A three-step search strategy will identify reviews as well as original research, published and grey literature. An initial search will identify suitable search terms, followed by a search using keyword and index terms. Two reviewers will independently screen identified studies for final inclusion. DISSEMINATION We will map key concepts and evidence, and disseminate existing research findings to practitioners and policymakers through peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications, conferences and in-person communications. We will identify priorities for further study. This method may prove useful to examine the relationships and effects of other sports on health.

Abstract
Background: Identification and validation of a targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), that is, breast cancers negative for oestrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and HER2 amplification, is currently one of the most urgent problems in breast cancer treatment. EGFR is one of the best-validated driver genes for TNBC. EGFR is normally activated following the release of ligands such as TGFα, mediated by the two MMP-like proteases ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase)-10 and ADAM-17. The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumour effects of a monoclonal antibody against ADAM-17 on an in vitro model of TNBC. Methods: We investigated an inhibitory cross-domain humanised monoclonal antibody targeting both the catalytic domain and the cysteine-rich domain of ADAM17-D1(A12) in the HCC1937 and HCC1143 cell lines. Results: D1(A12) was found to significantly inhibit the release of TGFα, and to decrease downstream EGFR-dependent cell signalling. D1(A12) treatment reduced proliferation in two-dimensional clonogenic assays, as well as growth in three-dimensional culture. Furthermore, D1(A12) reduced invasion of HCC1937 cells and decreased migration of HCC1143 cells. Finally, D1(A12) enhanced cell death in HCC1143 cells. Conclusion: Our in vitro findings suggest that targeting ADAM-17 with D1(A12) may have anticancer activity in TNBC cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND little is known about the changes and trends of individual vital signs during the course of acute illness in hospital. METHODS the weighted points of the VitalPAC Early Warning Score (ViEWS) were assigned to each vital sign value measured on 44,531 acutely ill medical patients while they were hospitalized in the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Ontario, Canada. These ViEWS weighted vital signs were averaged for every 24 hour period for five days after admission and five days before death or discharge and then combined to obtain an approximation of the trajectory of each vital sign while in hospital. RESULTS compared with the other vital signs, the ViEWS weighted points for respiratory rate increase the most in patients who died in hospital and decrease the most in survivors. Combining respiratory rate with the weighted points for any of the other vital signs reduced rather than increased their monitoring performance. CONCLUSION trends in respiratory rate, measured by observation at the bedside and given a ViEWS weighting is the best predictor of clinical outcome; minor changes predicted clinical outcome several days in advance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous analyses have found variable results when evaluating the size of the association between intellectual ability and adaptive functioning in individuals with impaired function. METHODS We assessed the association between intellectual ability measured as a latent higher-order g and three different areas of adaptive functioning in a sample of clinically referred individuals with low IQ. RESULTS Regressing g on conceptual, practical and social adaptive functioning yielded standardised regression coefficients of 0.65, 0.60 and 0.51 respectively. CONCLUSIONS Results suggests that even at low levels of ability, increments in g still have important consequences for human functioning. Further, the influence of g may not be equally strong across different areas of human functioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluorine-18-labelled fluoroxdeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been used to evaluate atherosclerotic plaque metabolic activity, and through its uptake by macrophages is believed to have the potential to identify vulnerable plaques. The aims were to compare FDG uptake in carotid plaques from patients who had sustained a recent thromboembolic cerebrovascular event with that in femoral artery plaques from patients with leg ischaemia, and to correlate FDG uptake with the proportion of M1 and M2 macrophages present. METHODS Consecutive patients who had carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic, significant carotid stenosis and patients with severe leg ischaemia and significant stenosis of the common femoral artery underwent FDG-PET and histological plaque analysis. The voxel with the greatest activity in the region of interest was calculated using the Patlak method over 60 min. Plaques were dual-stained for CD68, and M1 and M2 macrophage subsets. RESULTS There were 29 carotid and 25 femoral artery plaques for study. The maximum dynamic uptake was similar in carotid compared with femoral plaques: median (range) 9·7 (7·1-12·2) versus 10·0 (7·4-16·6) respectively (P = 0·281). CD68 macrophage counts were significantly increased in carotid compared with femoral plaques (39·5 (33·9-50·1) versus 11·5 (7·7-21·3) respectively; P < 0·001), as was the proportion of M1 proinflammatory macrophages. The degree of carotid stenosis correlated with the maximum dynamic FDG uptake (rs = 0·48, P = 0·008). CONCLUSION FDG uptake was no greater in symptomatic carotid plaques than in the less inflammatory femoral plaques. In patients on statin therapy. FDG uptake occurred in areas of significant arterial stenosis, irrespective of the degree of inflammation.

Abstract
Background and aims Estimate costs for health and social care services in managing older people in the community who fall. Method and results Analyses of predominantly national databases using cost of illness methodologies. In Scotland, 294,000 (34%) of people over 65 years and living in the community fall at least once a year. Of these 20%, almost 60,000 people contacted a medical service for assistance. There were almost 30,000 attendances at GP practices, over 36,100 calls to the Scottish Ambulance Service and 46,816 people presenting at A&E, with 16,549 admitted, 30% with a hip fracture. Mortality was high, 7% during the hospital stay, rising to over 12% at 1 year. Over 20% of patients were unable to return to their homes. Associated costs were over £470 million, with 60% incurred by social services, mainly providing long-term care. Cost per person falling was over £1720, rising to over £8600 for those seeking medical assistance. A hip fracture admission cost £39,490, compared with £21,960 for other falls-related admissions. Conclusions Transparent, robust cost information demonstrates the substantial burden of falls for health and social care services and should be a driver for implementing evidence-based interventions to reduce falls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Platelets play an important role in the pathophysiology of uteroplacental disease and platelet reactivity may be an important marker of uteroplacental disease activity. However, platelet reactivity has not been evaluated comprehensively in normal pregnancy. We sought to evaluate platelet reactivity using a number of agonists at defined time points in pregnancy using a novel platelet assay and compare these with a nonpregnant cohort. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal study. SETTING Outpatient department of a large tertiary referral centre. SAMPLE Eighty participants with 30 nonpregnant women and 50 pregnant women assessed longitudinally. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study performed longitudinally throughout uncomplicated singleton pregnancies with participants recruited before 15 weeks of gestation. They were controlled for a number of factors known to affect platelet reactivity. Blood samples were obtained in each trimester. Thirty nonpregnant healthy female volunteers also had a platelet assay performed. A modification of standard light transmission aggregometry was used to assess platelet function, with light absorbance measured following the addition of five different agonists at submaximal concentrations. Dose-response curves were plotted for each agonist for the nonpregnant cohort and in each trimester for the pregnant cohort. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Dose-response curves and median effective concentration. RESULTS When compared with the nonpregnant controls a significant reduction was demonstrated in platelet reactivity to collagen during the first trimester of pregnancy (P < 0.0001). Platelet aggregation increased significantly from the first to third trimesters in response to collagen and arachidonic acid. CONCLUSION Platelet reactivity varies according to pregnancy state, gestational age and agonist. The finding that platelet reactivity is reduced in the first trimester of pregnancy may be useful for the interpretation of further studies examining the role of platelet reactivity in the first trimester of pregnancies that develop uteroplacental disease.
