Abstract
Background People diagnosed with intestinal failure (IF) as a result of short bowel syndrome are dependent on home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Measuring nutritional status is essential for monitoring treatment. The present study aimed to determine the agreement and feasibility of three methods bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), ultrasound and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) for measuring body composition in people receiving HPN. Methods Body composition data were collected from patients attending an IF clinic. Results There were 50 participants recruited and data were collected for BIA (n = 46), ultrasound (n = 49) and ADP (n = 9). Numbers for ADP were much lower because of a lack of participant uptake. Fat‐free mass (FFM) measured by BIA and ultrasound in comparison to ADP was found to have good intraclass correlation (ICC) 0.791 (95% confidence interval (CI) CI −0.21 to 0.96) and a moderate ICC 0.659 [95% (CI) −0.27 to 0.92], respectively. Fat mass (FM) measured by both BIA and ultrasound in comparison to ADP was found to have moderate ICC 0.660 (95% CI −0.28 to 0.92) and poor ICC −0.005 (95% CI −0.73 to 0.65), respectively. Conclusions Compared to ADP, BIA indicated moderate to good agreement for measuring body composition, whereas ultrasound indicated far less agreement, particularly when measuring FM. The lack of uptake of ADP suggests that participants found the Bodpod (COSMED Srl, Shepperton, UK) unfavourable. Considering that ultrasound has limited agreement and ADP was not the preferred option for participants, BIA shows some potential. However, the difference between ADP and BIA was larger for FM compared to FFM, which needs to be considered in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD) is frequent problem encountered when managing patients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). Its occurrence is often multifactorial and modification of these factors is vital for the management of such hepatic dysfunction. The use of novel lipid preparations can form part of this management strategy. We present a case whereby such modification of contributing factors, including lipid preparations, led to improvements in IFALD and reversal of hepatic fibrosis.

Abstract
The data contained within this article relate to several enzymatic tissue digestion experiments which were performed to produce an optimised protocol for the digestion of tissue samples. The digestion experiments involved a total of four different digestion protocols. The first protocol involved digestion with proteinase K, without the use of glycine. The second protocol involved digestion with proteinase K in the presence of glycine. The third protocol consisted of proteinase K digestion in the presence of glycine, with more frequent enzyme replenishment. The final protocol was similar to the third protocol but included a papain digestion stage prior to digestion with proteinase K. The data contained within this article are photographs of tissue samples which were captured at key stages of the four protocols and written descriptions based on visual observation of the tissue samples, which document the appearance of the tissue digests.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a leading cause of intestinal failure (IF). Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) remains the standard treatment, with small intestinal transplantation reserved for cases with severe complications to HPN. There have recently been significant developments in growth factor therapy. We aimed to develop a greater contemporary understanding of our SBS-IF subset. METHOD We performed a retrospective observational study of a prospectively maintained HPN audit database in October 2017. Intestinal anatomical details and parenteral requirements were recorded. Each case was assessed for eligibility for growth factor therapy using recently published trials. RESULTS Of 273 patients receiving HPN, 152 (55.7%) had type three IF as a result of SBS (SBS-IF), with a mean duration of HPN of 61 months (range 4-416). Mean length of small intestine was 98 cm. Furthermore, 114 (41.8%) patients had an end jejunostomy (SBS-J), 18 (6.6%) had an end ileostomy, and 7.3% of patients had all or part of the colon-in-continuity. Crohn's disease was the most common underlying pathology. Univariate analysis for the whole HPN cohort demonstrated SBS-IF and a longer duration of HPN to be associated with higher PN energy requirements, p ≤ 0.0001. Of all, 73 (48%) patients with SBS-IF were deemed suitable for GLP-2 analogue therapy, with co-morbidity being the most frequent cause of non-suitability (29.1%). CONCLUSION We describe a large U.K. HPN cohort using ESPEN pathophysiological and clinical severity classification. The majority of patients with SBS-IF had a jejunostomy and relatively few had colon-in-continuity. Co-morbidity is the most common contra-indication to GLP-2 analogue therapy. CLINICAL RELEVANCY GLP-2 analogues are emerging as an important treatment for patients with short bowel syndrome. Our study explores patient suitability in a large HPN cohort managed in a national IF centre. Furthermore, the international variation in the pathophysiology of SBS-IF varies significantly, which can have a bearing on PN requirements and outcomes when GLP-2 analogues are used.

Abstract
A novel particle isolation method for tissue samples was developed and tested using particle-doped peri-articular tissues from ovine cadavers. This enabled sensitivity of the isolation technique to be established by doping tissue samples of 0.25 g with very low particle volumes of 2.5 µm3 per sample. Image analysis was used to verify that the method caused no changes to particle size or morphologies.

Abstract
Less than optimal particle isolation techniques have impeded analysis of orthopaedic wear debris in vivo. The purpose of this research was to develop and test an improved method for particle isolation from tissue. A volume of 0.018 mm3 of clinically relevant CoCrMo, Ti-6Al-4V or Si3N4 particles was injected into rat stifle joints for seven days of in vivo exposure. Following sacrifice, particles were located within tissues using histology. The particles were recovered by enzymatic digestion of periarticular tissue with papain and proteinase K, followed by ultracentrifugation using a sodium polytungstate density gradient. Particles were recovered from all samples, observed using SEM and the particle composition was verified using EDX, which demonstrated that all isolated particles were free from contamination. Particle size, aspect ratio and circularity were measured using image analysis software. There were no significant changes to the measured parameters of CoCrMo or Si3N4 particles before and after the recovery process (KS tests, p > 0.05). Titanium particles were too few before and after isolation to analyse statistically, though size and morphologies were similar. Overall the method demonstrated a significant improvement to current particle isolation methods from tissue in terms of sensitivity and efficacy at removal of protein, and has the potential to be used for the isolation of ultra-low wearing total joint replacement materials from periprosthetic tissues. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This research presents a novel method for the isolation of wear particles from tissue. Methodology outlined in this work would be a valuable resource for future researchers wishing to isolate particles from tissues, either as part of preclinical testing, or from explants from patients for diagnostic purposes. It is increasingly recognised that analysis of wear particles is critical to evaluating the safety of an orthopaedic device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal dysmotility (GID) covers a spectrum of disorders disrupting enteric neuromuscular co-ordination which, when severe, causes intractable gastrointestinal symptoms and malnutrition and is a recognized cause of chronic intestinal failure. To date, no study has provided an in-depth account of the experiences of patients with severe GID and their psychosocial needs. This study aimed to explore patients' experiences from symptom onset and the process of seeking and receiving a diagnosis. It specifically explored the psychological effect of this process and the effect on relationships. METHODS Participants (n = 20, mean age = 47.9, female n = 16, parenteral nutrition = 13) were recruited from a UK center with tertiary Neurogastroenterology and Intestinal Failure services. A qualitative exploratory design with semi-structured in-depth interviews was used. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. KEY RESULTS Significant delays were experienced in obtaining a diagnosis. Participants reported having their mental health questioned and felt that they had to fight to prove their symptoms had a physical basis to access appropriate treatment. Although a diagnosis helped legitimize symptoms, the condition remained poorly understood by participants themselves, relatives, and health professionals. Participants discussed the impact that "feeling delegitimized" and the "lack of coherent understanding of GID" had on their relationships and mental health. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES The distressing experience of GID symptoms are compounded by a delay in validating symptoms and lack of coherent understanding. More knowledge of GID is needed by health professionals to speed up diagnosis and offer more coherent information. The psychological impact of a GID diagnosis should be acknowledged early to help facilitate adjustment.

Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand how mental health and related services support and hinder resilience in young people diagnosed with first-episode psychosis. Seventeen youth between the ages of 18-24 were recruited and 31 in-depth interviews were conducted. Findings illustrated that informational and meaning making, instrumental, and emotional supports were experienced positively (i.e., resilience-enhancing); whereas services with ghettoizing, engulfing, regulating, and out of tune practices were experienced negatively (i.e., resilience-hindering). These results demonstrate how various types of service-related practices influence resilience in youth and can inform future planning of services for psychosis.
