Abstract
OBJECTIVE To gain understanding of the first-hand experience of women prior to and following repair of a vaginal fistula, to determine the most effective support mechanisms. DESIGN Qualitative phenomenological study using a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews at two time points: prior to fistula repair and 6 months post-surgery. Data were analysed thematically. SETTING Three fistula clinics in three districts in Kenya. POPULATION A purposive sample of 16 women suffering with vaginal fistula who were seeking fistula repair. METHODS Thrity-two semi-structured interviews were conducted. RESULTS The two main themes represented the women's journeys from social isolation to social reintegration. Women felt euphoric following fistula repair, believing that a 'miracle' had occurred. However, the 'post-miracle phase' demonstrated that the social and psychological impact of fistula leaves scars that are not easily healed, even when fistula repair is successful. CONCLUSION Women's experiences of living with fistula have an impact beyond that which can be repaired solely by surgery. The findings from this study support the need for more active psychological assessment in the management of women with fistula, and the role of targeted psychological support in any package of care given in the post repair phase. The format of this support requires further study. Engagement by health professionals with the wider community could raise awareness of the causes of fistula, and provide support for significant others who may also be feeling vulnerable. It is likely that the collaborative efforts from health professionals and community members will provide the most effective support. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Fistula surgery alone is insufficient for women's physical, social and psychological recovery.

Abstract
Background: We now know that there is an interplay between our bodies and the bacteria that we carry, both in health and in disease. Inflammatory diseases associated with disruptions in microbial equilibria, such as periodontal disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as chronic antibiotic use, have been associated with increased risk for cancer development. In a previous small pilot study, we observed differences in the oral microbiomes of women with breast cancer and healthy women. This presentation describes an ongoing study in which we aim to validate our previous findings in a larger cohort of women, as well as extend the microbiomes studied to include the gut and local breast tissue microbiota.
Trial design and eligibility criteria: Women with invasive breast cancer or with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who have not received prior therapy for their disease are eligible for enrollment. A cohort of healthy women will also be enrolled. Sample collection kits containing cheek and stool swab materials are distributed to patients in the clinic, and breast tumor tissue is collected at the time of surgery.
Specific aims: 1. To characterize and compare oral and gut microbial diversity from women with early stage invasive breast cancer, women with DCIS, and healthy women; and 2. To characterize the microbiota associated with breast tumor tissue and compare this to healthy breast tissue.
Methods: DNA from the three sites is isolated, the bacterial 16S rRNA gene is PCR amplified and sequenced, and the bacterial species present are enumerated. Oral, gut, and breast tissue microbial diversity at the genus and species levels will be assessed using the Shannon diversity index. Student's t-test will be used to compare the mean diversity index values. Evaluation of microbial diversity and clinical variables will be determined using Spearman or Pearson correlations depending on the distribution of the data. We will also compare oral microbial diversity and clinical variables across racial and ethnic groups to determine if differences in the microbiomes may explain disparities in incidence across these groups. Classification and regression trees (CART) will be employed to develop rule sets based on the abundance of oral bacteria that discriminate breast cancer vs. DCIS vs. healthy controls.
Present accrual: As of June, 2015, 32 women with early-stage invasive cancer, 8 women with DCIS, and 9 healthy women received sample collection kits. Breast tumor tissue has been collected from 11 invasive breast cancer cases and 2 DCIS cases.
Target accrual: For the oral and gut microbiome analyses: 100 women with early-stage invasive breast cancer, 100 women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and 100 healthy women with no history of breast cancer. For the breast tissue microbiome analyses: 20 women with invasive breast cancer, 10 patients with DCIS, and 10 reduction mammoplasty cases from healthy women.

Abstract
PURPOSE Changes to retinal structure and function occur in individuals with diabetes before the onset of diabetic retinopathy. It is still unclear if these changes initially affect vascular or neural retina, or if particular retinal areas are more susceptible than others. This paper examines the distribution of cone photoreceptor density in the retina of adolescents with type 1 diabetes. METHODS This cross-sectional prospective study includes 29 adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes and no diabetic retinopathy and 44 control participants recruited at the Hospital for Sick Children. Adaptive-optics enhanced retinal imaging of the cone photoreceptor mosaic was performed in four quadrants at an eccentricity of ∼7° from the fovea. After image registration and averaging, cone photoreceptors were counted and photoreceptor density was calculated. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to assess the differences in photoreceptor density between groups. RESULTS Cone density was similar in both control participants and participants with diabetes. There was a small effect of retinal hemisphere; participants with diabetes did not show the expected radial asymmetry observed in control participants. CONCLUSIONS Cone density in the parafoveal retina is not reduced in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Immune age-related abnormalities may synergise with osteoarthritis (OA) pathology. We explored whether abnormalities in the blood immune cell composition are present in OA, beyond defects typically associated with ageing. DESIGN Blood was collected from 121 healthy controls (HC) and 114 OA patients. Synovial biopsies were obtained from another 52 OA patients. Flow cytometry was used to establish the frequencies of lineage subsets, naïve, memory and regulatory T and B-cells, cells with an abnormal phenotype related to inflammation (IRC) and memory-like CD8(+) T-cells. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to determine whether the relative subset frequencies differed between HC and OA, controlling for age. RESULTS Expected histology and T/B-cell infiltration were observed. Following age adjusted analysis, we confirmed the lack of age association in HC for CD4(+), B, NK and NKT cells but a negative trend for CD8(+) T-cells. In OA, CD4(+) T-cell and B-cell frequency were lower compared to HC while CD8(+) T-cell frequencies were higher. CD8(+) memory-like cells were more likely to be found in OA (odds ratio = 15). Increased CD8(+) IRC frequencies were also present in OA. The relationship between age and CD4(+) or CD8(+) naïve T-cells in HC were changed in OA while the age relationships with memory cells were lost. The increase in CD4(+) Treg with age was also lost in OA. B-cells showed limited evidence of disturbance. CONCLUSIONS Immune dysfunction may be present in OA beyond what appears related to ageing; this requires further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess cerebral perfusion changes following systemic administration of the recreational drug 3,4-methylendioxymethamphetamine (MDMA 'ecstasy') to rats. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Cerebral perfusion was quantified using bolus-tracking arterial spin labelling (btASL) MRI. Rats received MDMA (20 mg·kg(-1); i.p.) and were assessed 1, 3 or 24 h later. Rats received MDMA (5 or 20 mg·kg(-1); i.p.) and were assessed 3 h later. In addition, rats received MDMA (5 or 10 mg·kg(-1); i.p.) or saline four times daily over 2 consecutive days and were assessed 8 weeks later. Perfusion-weighted images were generated in a 7 tesla (7T) MRI scanner and experimental data was fitted to a quantitative model of cerebral perfusion to generate mean transit time (MTT), capillary transit time (CTT) and signal amplitude. KEY RESULTS MDMA reduces MTT and CTT and increases amplitude in somatosensory and motor cortex 1 and 3 h following administration, indicative of an increase in perfusion. Prior exposure to MDMA provoked a long-term reduction in cortical 5-HT concentration, but did not produce a sustained effect on cerebral cortical perfusion. The response to acute MDMA challenge (20 mg·kg(-1); i.p.) was attenuated in these animals indicating adaptation in response to prior MDMA exposure. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS MDMA provokes changes in cortical perfusion, which are quantifiable by btASL MRI, a neuroimaging tool with translational potential. Future studies are directed towards elucidation of the mechanisms involved and correlating changes in cerebrovascular function with potential behavioural deficits associated with drug use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The determinants of health and mortality inequalities in New Zealand and Australia have been subjected to research, with the influence of a range of socio-economic and demographic influences (deprivation, social class, ethnicity) receiving notable attention. Both countries are considered privileged, positioned amongst the world leaders in rankings of mortality and life expectancy. This paper reports on observed rates of mortality and views how the countries have fared over time with respect to one another. STUDY DESIGN, OBSERVATIONAL, METHODS This study derives comparable rates of mortality for both New Zealand and Australia, disaggregated by age and sex for the time period 1948-2008. The age-standardised rates are visualised using the Lexis mapping software program, showing the relative differences between the countries over time whilst simultaneously highlighting age, period and cohort effects. RESULTS Relative to Australia, New Zealand had advantageous rates of mortality across almost all age groups between the years 1948 and 1980 (approximately). For both sexes, a dramatic reversal of fortunes in New Zealand has followed relative to Australia. For example, for younger males in New Zealand, the reversal is startling. Over the time period observed, males aged 10-20 years in New Zealand have moved from an advantageous position of having a mortality rate 20% lower than Australia to a relative position of 50% higher. CONCLUSIONS The social and economic forces in both New Zealand and Australia which may have driven the divergence require further scrutiny. It is argued here, that the changing fortunes of the populations are linked to the process of selective migration and the large-scale population movements between the countries facilitated by the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement. These findings have important implications for policy formation and service planning, if the inequality in mortality between the areas of study is to be addressed.

Abstract
This study determined the antimicrobial susceptibilities of 67 isolates of Leptospira from dogs (suspect canine cases: n=7 and stray dogs: n=6) and rodents (n=54) in Trinidad to 12 antimicrobial agents using broth microdilution and macrodilution techniques. Commonly used antimicrobial agents such as the penicillin G and ceftriaxone had relatively low minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) while doxycycline displayed a relatively higher value but was still considered to be effective. While imipenem was the most effective with low MIC values in vitro, sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim had the highest i.e. least effective. Based on these results, the drugs commonly used in the treatment of leptospirosis (penicillin G, penicillin-streptomycin, doxycycline and ceftriaxone) in both humans and animals in Trinidad appear to have similar MICs and MBCs in vitro when compared with published reports. The serovar of Leptospira spp. and in most cases the origin of the isolates did not significantly (P>0.05) influence their susceptibilities to the antimicrobial agents tested.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the effectiveness and acceptability of self-monitoring of blood glucose with self-monitoring of urine glucose in adults with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes. METHODS We conducted a multi-site cluster randomized controlled trial with practice-level randomization. Participants attended a structured group education programme, which included a module on self-monitoring using blood glucose or urine glucose monitoring. HbA1c and other biomedical measures as well as psychosocial data were collected at 6, 12 and 18 months. A total of 292 participants with Type 2 diabetes were recruited from 75 practices. RESULTS HbA1c levels were significantly lower at 18 months than at baseline in both the blood monitoring group [mean (se) -12 (2) mmol/mol; -1.1 (0.2) %] and the urine monitoring group [mean (se) -13 (2) mmol/mol; -1.2 (0.2)%], with no difference between groups [mean difference adjusted for cluster effect and baseline value = -1 mmol/mol (95% CI -3, 2); -0.1% (95% CI -0.3, 0.2)]. Similar improvements were observed for the other biomedical outcomes, with no differences between groups. Both groups showed improvements in total treatment satisfaction, generic well-being, and diabetes-specific well-being, and had a less threatening view of diabetes, with no differences between groups at 18 months. Approximately one in five participants in the urine monitoring arm switched to blood monitoring, while those in the blood monitoring arm rarely switched (18 vs 1% at 18 months; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Participants with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes who attended structured education showed similar improvements in HbA1c levels at 18 months, regardless of whether they were assigned to blood or urine self-monitoring.

Abstract
Stray dogs (n=207), suspected canine cases of leptospirosis (n=50) and rats (n=200) from the Caribbean island of Trinidad were subjected to the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) for leptospirosis. The seroprevalence in stray dogs was 15.5% (n=32), the predominant serogroup was Icterohaemorrhagiae (14.5%; n=30) with agglutinations to serovars Copenhageni at 5.8%, Icterohaemorrhagiae at 4.8%, Mankarso at 3.9%. The seroprevalence among suspected canine cases was 72% (n=36) with Icterohaemorrhagiae again being the predominant serogroup at 60% inclusive of serovars: Copenhageni, 44%; Mankarso, 14%; and Icterohaemorrhagiae 2%. A seroprevalence of 16.5% was determined in rats, all agglutinations were to the Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup (inclusive of serovars Copenhageni, 9.5%; Icterohaemorrhagiae, 5.5%; and Mankarso, 1.5%). Overall serovar Copenhageni was the most common serovar as 11.6% of all the animal species tested by the MAT were positive and may be an important zoonotic serovar in Trinidad. The titres of infecting serovars of Leptospira in suspected canine cases of leptospirosis were considerably higher than that found in stray dogs and in rats where the lowest titres were found. Age and sex were not significant risk factors except in the case of rats where age was significant, indicating that juvenile rats were at a significantly higher risk. There was no definite pattern of the distribution of positive animals or the serovars when using the MAT. Data obtained in the current study indicate that dogs and rats in Trinidad have the potential to be sources of leptospiral infections for humans. This potential has public health implications making it imperative to control rat and stray dog populations in the island to reduce the risk of human leptospirosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the recent epidemiological patterns and costs of road traffic casualties (RTCs) in Strathclyde, Scotland. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective record-linkage epidemiological study using routine data sources. METHODS A linked police-hospital database was analysed to describe the epidemiology of RTCs from 2004 to 2009. Using UK government methodology, the costs of road casualties to the National Health Service (NHS) and society were assessed. RESULTS RTC rates declined over the study period. Males were at higher risk than females as were those residing in more socially deprived addresses. The estimated costs of RTCs in Strathclyde amounted to £400 million annually. Of this, around one twentieth (£20 million per year), was attributable to direct NHS costs. CONCLUSIONS Road casualties remain a major public health threat in Strathclyde, and contribute to health inequalities. RTC costs to society amount to almost a tenth of NHS revenue expenditure. Cost-effective road safety measures should be deployed more widely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting remain difficult symptoms to manage in clinical practice. As standard antiemetic drugs do not fully eliminate these symptoms, it is important to explore the adjuvant role of non-pharmacological and complementary therapies in antiemetic management approaches. Acupressure is one such treatment showing highly suggestive evidence so far of a positive effect, meriting further investigation. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of self-acupressure using wristbands compared with sham acupressure wristbands and standard care alone in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea. Secondary objectives included assessment of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the wristbands in relation to vomiting and quality of life and exploration of any age, gender and emetogenic risk effects. DESIGN Randomised three-arm sham-controlled trial (Assessment of Nausea in Chemotherapy Research or ANCHoR) with an economic evaluation. Arms include the wristband arm, the sham wristband arm and the standard care only arm. Randomisation consisted of minimisation with a random element balancing for gender, age (16-24, > 24-50, >50 years) and three levels of emetogenic chemotherapy (low, moderate and high). Qualitative interviews were incorporated to shed more light on the quantitative findings. SETTING Outpatient chemotherapy clinics in three regions in the UK involving 14 different cancer units/centres. PARTICIPANTS Chemotherapy-naive cancer patients receiving chemotherapy of low, moderate and high emetogenic risk. INTERVENTION The intervention was acupressure wristbands pressing the P6 point (anterior surface of the forearm). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The Rhodes Index for Nausea/Vomiting, the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) Antiemesis Tool and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G). At baseline participants completed measures of anxiety/depression, nausea/vomiting expectation and expectations from using the wristbands. RESULTS In total, 500 patients were randomised in the study arms (166 standard care, 166 sham acupressure and 168 acupressure) and data were available for 361 participants for the primary outcome. The primary outcome analysis (nausea in cycle 1) revealed no statistically significant differences between the three arms, although the median nausea experience in patients using wristbands (both real and sham ones) was somewhat lower than that in the antiemetics only group (median nausea experience scores for the four cycles: standard care arm 1.43, 1.71, 1.14, 1.14; sham acupressure arm 0.57, 0.71, 0.71, 0.43; acupressure arm 1.00, 0.93, 0.43, 0). A gender effect was evident (p= 0.002), with women responding more favourably to the use of sham acupressure wristbands than men (odds ratio 0.35 for men and 2.02 for women in the sham acupressure group; 1.27 for men and 1.17 for women in the acupressure group). This suggests a placebo effect. No significant differences were detected in relation to vomiting outcomes, anxiety and quality of life. Some transient adverse effects were reported, including tightness in the area of the wristbands, feeling uncomfortable when wearing them and minor swelling in the wristband area (n= 6).There were no statistically significant cost differences associated with the use of real acupressure bands (£70.66 for the acupressure group, £111.13 for the standard care group and £161.92 for the sham acupressure group). In total, 26 subjects took part in qualitative interviews. The qualitative data suggested that participants perceived the wristbands (both real and sham) as effective and helpful in managing their nausea during chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS There were no statistically significant differences between the three arms in terms of nausea, vomiting and quality of life, although apparent resource use was less in both the real acupressure arm and the sham acupressure arm compared with standard care only; therefore; no clear conclusions can be drawn about the use of acupressure wristbands in the management of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting. However, the study provided encouraging evidence in relation to an improved nausea experience and some indications of possible cost savings to warrant further consideration of acupressure both in practice and in further clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychological therapies with a proven efficacy in the general population are being adapted for use with people who have intellectual disabilities in community settings. METHODS A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature published between 1980 and 2010 was carried out, to identify the evidence base for effective psychological interventions in challenging behaviour. Relevant databases were searched using applied key terms. Evidence was graded, according to the quality of the research. A best-evidence Matrix was produced to improve guidance for service providers and practitioners in the range, volume and quality of psychological interventions. RESULTS There is a limited amount of efficacy research that meets the most stringent standards of empirical evidence. CONCLUSIONS It is important to broaden the evidence base and consider the context of psychological interventions, alongside the values underpinning care and treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: It is becoming increasingly clear that immune responses play an important role in determining triple negative (Tneg) breast cancer prognosis. Thus, emerging immunotherapeutic strategies, such as targeting immune checkpoint co-receptors (e.g. CTLA4 or PD-1), offer an attractive novel approach. However, to date, there are no established predictive biomarkers to identify Tneg patients most likely to benefit from these immunotherapies. We recently identified a 5-gene prognostic signature (TNFRSF17, CLIC5, HLA-F, CXCL13, XCL2), referred to as the Integrated Cytokine Score (ICS). Interestingly, the ICS showed functional linkage through both type 1 (interferon-γ (IFNG)) and type 2 (IL-10) immune response pathways. Here, we hypothesized that the ICS would be associated with the expression of IFNG as well as immune checkpoint genes and may therefore serve as a surrogate biomarker for targeted immunotherapies.
Method: Transcriptome data from a set of 94 node negative chemotherapy naïve Tneg tumors were pooled from three independent microarray datasets (GSE2034, GSE5327 and GSE7930). The ICS was computed as the scaled sign-corrected average of the 5 signature genes, such that a high ICS is indicative of low immune function, which in turn translates to a higher recurrence risk. We explored the correlation between the ICS and the expression of IFNG, IL-10 and 3 different immune checkpoint co-receptor genes: CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4), PD-1/PDCD1 (programmed cell death protein-1) and LAG3 (lymphocyte activation gene 3). In addition, Cox proportional hazard modeling was used to evaluate the association with distant metastasis free survival (DMFS).
Results: The ICS is significantly prognostic (hazard ratio associated with 1 standard deviation increase = 1.48 (1.04 - 2.10), p = 0.03). ICS strongly anti-correlated (p<0.05) with IFNG (r = -0.66), CTLA4 (r = -0.38), PD-1/PDCD1 (r = -0.25) and LAG3 (r = -0.60) expression. Interestingly, despite this strong correlation and the prognostic significance of the ICS, none of these four immune genes were significantly associated with Tneg DMFS (p = 0.31 - 0.86). IL-10 expression was not correlated with ICS (r = -0.04) or DMFS (p = 0.43).
Conclusion: Our current findings suggest that Tneg tumors with a low ICS have elicited a type-1 (IFNG pathway) antitumor immune response. However, since the tumor is essentially “self”, this results in the activation of negative immunoregulatory networks that prevent autoimmunity (checkpoint co-receptors). Thus, the prognostic 5-gene ICS may also be a useful biomarker for immune checkpoint blockade, which could become an alternative therapeutic strategy to traditional chemotherapy for low-ICS Tneg patients who are at reduced risk of metastatic recurrence. In contrast, we propose that high-ICS Tneg tumors do not elicit type-1 antitumor immune responses or subsequent immunoregulatory network activation. For these high-ICS patients at increased risk of metastatic recurrence, additional immunotherapeutic approaches capable of enhancing both recruitment and activation of immune effector cells, as well as checkpoint blockade, may be necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing evidence suggests that administration of intravenous fluids has been shown to improve outcomes including pain in gynecological laparoscopic surgery but the optimum fluid dose has not been determined. AIMS To determine the effect of administration of intravenous fluids on post-operative pain and pulmonary function after gynecological laparoscopy. METHODS In a prospective randomized double-blinded study 100 ASA 1 and 2 elective patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopy were randomized to receive intravenous compound sodium lactate 10 ml kg(-1) (CSL10-restrictive) or 30 ml kg(-1) (CSL30-liberal) administered intra-operatively. The primary outcome measure was the post-operative pain score at 24, 48 and 72 h, assessed by 0-10 verbal rating scale (VRS). Pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC, PEFR) and oxygen saturation were also measured. RESULTS Patients who received CSL 30 had lower post-operative pain scores than CSL 10 (ANCOVA-mean difference = 0.47, 95 % CI 0.11-0.83, P = 0.01). Post-operative pain VRS was lower in CSL30 than CSL10 at 48 h (mean difference 0.56, 95 % CI 0.04-1.09, P = 0.036). Patients in CSL30 reported shoulder tip pain less frequently than those in CSL10 (30.4 vs. 43.9 % of assessments, P = 0.03, OR 0.58) but reported wound pain more frequently 39.0 vs. 24.2 %, P = 0.01, OR 2.0). Indices of pulmonary function did not differ between groups at any time. CONCLUSIONS Liberal compared to restrictive administration of i.v. crystalloid is associated with a clinical modest reduction in pain. Pulmonary dysfunction was not increased with liberal fluid administration.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate psychosocial and biomedical outcomes following
total hip replacement (THR) and to identify predictors of recovery
from THR. Methods Patients with osteoarthritis (OA) on the waiting list for primary
THR in North West England were assessed pre-operatively and at six
and 12 months post-operatively to investigate psychosocial and biomedical
outcomes. Psychosocial outcomes were anxiety and depression, social
support and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Biomedical outcomes
were pain, physical function and stiffness. The primary outcome
was the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey Total Physical Function.
Potential predictors of outcome were age, sex, body mass index,
previous joint replacement, involvement in the decision for THR,
any comorbidities, any complications, type of medication, and pre-operative
ENRICHD Social Support Instrument score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression
scores and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index
score. Results The study included 206 patients undergoing THR. There were 88
men and 118 women with a mean age of 66.3 years (sd 10.4;36
to 89). Pain, stiffness and physical function, severity of OA, HRQoL,
anxiety and depression all improved significantly from pre-operative
to 12-month assessment (all p < 0.001), with the greatest improvement occurring
in the first six months (all p < 0.001). The predictors that
were found to influence recovery six months after THR were: pain
(p < 0.001), anxiety (p = 0.034), depression (p = 0.001), previous
joint replacement (p = 0.006) and anti-inflammatory drugs (p = 0.012). Conclusions The study identified the key psychosocial and biomedical predictors
of recovery following THR. By identifying these predictors, we are
able to identify and provide more support for patients at risk of
poor recovery following THR. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2013;2:248–54.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Referrals to the Greater Glasgow Community Autism Team (CAT) made before the child's sixth birthday were analysed to obtain an estimation of the proportion of children in Greater Glasgow with childhood autism and investigate whether there were any variations in diagnosis rates, or in age at referral and diagnosis, depending on deprivation or geographical location. METHODS An analysis was made of the database recording referrals to Greater Glasgow CAT, between 2004 and 2007 inclusive, of children referred by age 6 years, comprising 584 cases. Cumulative incidence was calculated for childhood autism. Ages at referral and diagnosis were also analysed. RESULTS For this subset of children, there were 246 diagnosed cases of childhood autism, a cumulative incidence from 2004 until 2007 of 11.1 per year per 10,000 children aged 0-6 years. Of children with an eventual diagnosis of autism by age 6, 72% were referred by the age of 4 years. Deprivation was found to have an association with referral and diagnostic rates, with higher rates seen in the most deprived. There was geographical variation in the cumulative incidence of autism. CONCLUSION Given that the populations were not known to differ in any manner that would lead to a true variation, the geographical variation in the cumulative incidence of autism in children up to 6 years in Greater Glasgow observed in this study is likely to represent differences in the care pathway between areas. Such differences may also explain the observed association with deprivation. Reasons for the variation are being explored.

Abstract
Assessing people in adolescence and early adulthood who wish to become living organ donors (LDs) provides unique challenges. In several Canadian provinces, 16-year-old can legally consent to living organ donation. While the World Health Organization states that adolescence corresponds roughly to the ages of 10-19 years, parts of the brain associated with judgment continue to develop into the mid-20s. Therefore, it is legally possible for some young people to donate organs before their capacity to judge the benefits and risks of surgery has fully matured. Potential young living donors (YLDs) may be financially and/or psychologically dependent on their recipients (e.g. parents), which can make it difficult to determine if the YLD's donation is voluntary. This paper suggests ways to manage three ethical challenges in the use of young people as LDs: (1) determining the YLD's ability to appreciate the consequences of living organ donation, (2) determining whether the YLD's donation is voluntary and (3) evaluating the unique risks and benefits to the YLD. We conclude that there are compelling ethical reasons to offer the opportunity of living donation to selected young people. A thorough and fair evaluation process can address social, emotional and developmental issues associated with YLDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nab-paclitaxel is a solvent-free, taxane-based chemotherapy approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (mbc). This study reports clinical benefit and toxicities experienced by women with mbc treated with nab-paclitaxel at the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre. METHODS Women with mbc treated with single-agent nab-paclitaxel between June 2006 and December 2010 were included in this analysis. Retrospective data obtained included demographics, disease characteristics, prior chemotherapy, nab-paclitaxel treatment, toxicity, and survival. Clinical benefit was defined as partial or complete response or stable disease (by clinical or radiologic evaluation, or both) at 6 months or more. RESULTS Of 43 women (mean age: 57.0 years; range: 34-74 years), most had disease positive for estrogen or progesterone receptor (72.1%, 58.1%), or both. Nab-paclitaxel was administered weekly (qw: 44.2%), every 3 weeks (q3w: 46.5%), q3w switched to qw (7.0%), or qw switched to q3w (2.3%). Median duration of therapy was 5.1 months (qw) and 3.0 months (q3w). Sensory neuropathy was the primary toxicity (45.4% qw, 38.1% q3w; p = 0.62). Clinical benefit was observed in most women (76.2% qw, 57.1% q3w; p = 0.20). Women receiving nab-paclitaxel had a median overall survival of 13.6 months qw (range: 8.1-28.3 months) and 10.8 months q3w (range: 5.9-17.9 months; p = 0.03). Regardless of dosing schedule, women experiencing clinical benefit lived significantly longer than those not experiencing a benefit (17.3 months vs. 7.7 months; hazard ratio: 0.14; 95% confidence interval: 0.06 to 0.33). CONCLUSIONS Our clinical experience demonstrates that most women treated with nab-paclitaxel experienced some clinical benefit. Patients achieving clinical benefit lived significantly longer than those who did not. Nab-paclitaxel was well tolerated, with the primary toxicity being mild sensory neuropathy. Nab-paclitaxel represents another treatment option, with a favourable toxicity profile, for women with mbc.

Abstract
We present a search for new particles in an extension to the standard model that includes a heavy Higgs boson (H(0)), a lighter charged Higgs boson (H(±)), and an even lighter Higgs boson h(0), with decays leading to a W-boson pair and a bottom-antibottom quark pair in the final state. We use events with exactly one lepton, missing transverse momentum, and at least four jets in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1) collected by the CDF II detector in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt[s]= 1.96 TeV. We find the data to be consistent with standard model predictions and report the results in terms of a simplified Higgs-cascade-decay model, setting 95% confidence level upper limits on the product of cross section and branching fraction from 1.3 pb to 15 fb as a function of H(0) and H(±) masses for m(h)(0) = 126 GeV/c(2).

Abstract
PURPOSE To report phenotypic characteristics including macular cone photoreceptor morphology in KCNV2-related "cone dystrophy with supernormal rod electroretinogram" (CDSR). METHODS Seven patients, aged 9 to 18 years at last visit, with characteristic full-field electroretinographic (ERG) features of CDSR were screened for mutations in the KCNV2 gene. All patients underwent detailed ophthalmological evaluation, which included distance and color vision testing, contrast sensitivity measurement, fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging, and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Follow-up visits were available in six cases. Rod photoreceptor function was assessed using a bright white flash ERG protocol (240 cd·s/m(2)). Macular cone photoreceptor morphology was assessed from 2° by 2° zonal images obtained using adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) in six cases. RESULTS Pathogenic mutations in KCNV2 were identified in all seven cases. Best corrected vision was 20/125 or worse in all cases at the latest visit (20/125-20/400). Vision loss was progressive in two cases. Color vision and contrast sensitivity was abnormal in all cases. Retinal exam revealed minimal pigment epithelial changes at the fovea in four cases. A peri- or parafoveal ring of hyperfluorescence was the most common FAF abnormality noted (five cases). The SD-OCT showed outer retinal abnormalities in all cases. The rod photoreceptor maximal response was reduced but rod sensitivity was normal. AOSLO showed markedly reduced cone density in all six patients tested. CONCLUSIONS Central vision parameters progressively worsen in CDSR. Structural retinal and lipofuscin accumulation abnormalities are commonly present. Macular cone photoreceptor mosaic is markedly disrupted early in the disease.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Does the use of a digital home ovulation test have any effect on the level of stress in women seeking to conceive? SUMMARY ANSWER No difference was found in levels of stress between women using digital ovulation tests to time intercourse compared with women who were trying to conceive without any additional aids: in addition, their use did not negatively impact time to conception in users but may provide additional benefits, including an increased understanding of the menstrual cycle, reassurance and confidence in focusing conception attempts to the correct time in the cycle. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY It has been suggested that timing of intercourse in such a way that it coincides with ovulation by using ovulation tests can lead to emotional distress; however, no study has been conducted to investigate this hypothesis specifically, until now. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE AND DURATION The study was performed over two complete menstrual cycles as a prospective, randomized, controlled trial including quantitative and qualitative methods. The intervention (test) group were given digital ovulation tests to time intercourse to the most fertile time of the cycle and the control group were provided with the current National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines for increasing the chances of conception (intercourse every 2-3 days) and asked not to use any additional methods to time when ovulation occurs. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING AND METHODS A total of 210 women who were seeking to conceive were recruited from the general UK population. A total of 115 women were randomized to the test group and 95 to the control group through block randomization. The positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to measure subjective stress levels, the Short-Form 12 health survey was used as a measure of general health and well-being and urine samples were measured for biochemical markers of stress including urinary cortisol. Qualitative data were collected in the form of a telephone interview upon study completion. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE There was no evidence for a difference either in total stress as measured using the PSS or in total positive or negative affect using the PANAS questionnaire between the test and control groups at any time point for the duration of the study. During cycle 1, for example, on Day 6, the difference in total stress score (test-control) was -0.62 [95% confidence interval (CI) -2.47 to 1.24] and on the day of the LH surge, it was 0.53 (95% CI -1.38 to 2.44). In addition, no correlation was observed between time trying to conceive and levels of stress, or between age and levels of stress, and no evidence was found to show that stress affected whether or not a pregnancy was achieved. There is also no evidence that the biochemistry measurements are related to whether a pregnancy was achieved or of a difference in biochemistry between the treatment groups. The use of digital ovulation tests did not negatively affect time to conception and with an adequately sized study, could potentially show improvement. To ensure that the results of this study were not affected by chance, we used a number of different methods for measuring stress, each of which had been independently validated. LIMITATIONS AND REASONS FOR CAUTION Randomization occurred before the start of the study because of the need to provide the ovulation tests in readiness for Day 6 of the first cycle. As a consequence, a number of women fell pregnant during this period (22 and 13 in the test and control groups, respectively). A further 15 women were either lost to follow-up or withdrew consent prior to study start. Pregnancy rate was higher overall in the test group, so to ensure that there were sufficient data from women who failed to become pregnant in the test group, we implemented an additional biased recruitment. This second cohort may have been different from the first, although no significant differences were observed between the two phases of recruitment for any of the information collected upon admission to the study. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Women who seek medical advice while trying to conceive should not be discouraged by health care professionals from using digital ovulation tests in order to time intercourse. The cohort of women recruited to this study initially had no evidence of infertility and were looking to conceive in a non-medical setting. A separate study to assess the impact of home ovulation tests in a subfertile population would be of interest and complementary to the present study. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTERESTS This study was funded by SPD Swiss Precision Diagnostics, GmbH, manufacturer of Clearblue(®) pregnancy and ovulation tests. SPD Development Company Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of SPD Swiss Precision Diagnostics GmbH; together referred to as SPD. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT01084304 (www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Abstract
We present the first direct measurement of the top-quark mass using tt events decaying in the hadronic τ+jets decay channel. Using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb(-1) collected by the CDF II detector in pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron, we measure the tt cross section, σ(tt), and the top-quark mass, M(top). We extract M(top) from a likelihood based on per-event probabilities calculated with leading-order signal and background matrix elements. We measure σ(tt) = 8.8 ± 3.3(stat) ± 2.2(syst) pb and M(top) = 172.7 ± 9.3(stat) ± 3.7(syst) GeV/c(2).

Abstract
A search is presented for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with top quarks using the full Run II proton-antiproton collision data set, corresponding to 9.45 fb(-1), collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. No significant excess over the expected background is observed, and 95% credibility-level upper bounds are placed on the cross section σ(ttH → lepton + missing transverse energy+jets). For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c(2), we expect to set a limit of 12.6 and observe a limit of 20.5 times the standard model rate. This represents the most sensitive search for a standard model Higgs boson in this channel to date.

Measurement of the bottom-strange meson mixing phase in the full CDF data set. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2012; 109:171802. [PMID: 23215176 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.109.171802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2012] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
We report a measurement of the bottom-strange meson mixing phase β(s) using the time evolution of B(s)(0)→J/ψ(→μ(+)μ(-))φ(→K(+)K(-)) decays in which the quark-flavor content of the bottom-strange meson is identified at production. This measurement uses the full data set of proton-antiproton collisions at √s=1.96 TeV collected by the Collider Detector experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron, corresponding to 9.6 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. We report confidence regions in the two-dimensional space of β(s) and the B(s)(0) decay-width difference ΔΓ(s) and measure β(s)∈[-π/2,-1.51]∪[-0.06,0.30]∪[1.26,π/2] at the 68% confidence level, in agreement with the standard model expectation. Assuming the standard model value of β(s), we also determine ΔΓ(s)=0.068±0.026(stat)±0.009(syst) ps(-1) and the mean B(s)(0) lifetime τ(s)=1.528±0.019(stat)±0.009(syst) ps, which are consistent and competitive with determinations by other experiments.

Abstract
We present a precision measurement of the top-quark mass using the full sample of Tevatron √s = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions collected by the CDF II detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1). Using a sample of tt¯ candidate events decaying into the lepton+jets channel, we obtain distributions of the top-quark masses and the invariant mass of two jets from the W boson decays from data. We then compare these distributions to templates derived from signal and background samples to extract the top-quark mass and the energy scale of the calorimeter jets with in situ calibration. The likelihood fit of the templates from signal and background events to the data yields the single most-precise measurement of the top-quark mass, M(top)=172.85±0.71(stat)±0.85(syst) GeV/c(2).
