Abstract
The first wave of NHS walk-in centres opened in 2000. Since then, a total of 57 centres have opened in England with 25 more planned in the next few months. These centres do not aim to replace existing primary or secondary care services but to complement them and provide the public with an alternative means of accessing health care for minor illnesses, minor injuries and emergency contraception. Two models of walk-in centre exist: those based in primary care and those based in secondary care.

Abstract
UNLABELLED PathBinderH allows users to make queries that retrieve sentences and the abstracts containing them from PubMed. Another aspect of PathBinderH is that users can specify biological taxa in order to limit searches by mentioning either the specified taxa, or their subordinate taxa, in the biological taxonomy. Although the current project requires this function only for plant taxa, the principle is extensible to the entire taxonomy. AVAILABILITY www.plantgenomics.iastate.edu/PathBinderH.

Abstract
An amino acid sequence homology has been identified between the bovine prion sequence (RPVDQ) and the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus enzyme, uridine-diphosphate-N-acetyl glucosamine-1-carboxy-vinyl-transferase which also contains (RPVDQ). Class-specific IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies against synthetic peptides containing the structurally related sequences present in bovine prion and A. calcoaceticus were measured in 189 bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) positive cattle, 127 BSE negative cattle and 87 healthy control animals using an ELISA technique. Class-specific IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies against the structurally related synthetic peptides were significantly elevated in BSE positive cattle when compared to BSE negative cattle (P < 0.001) and healthy control animals (P < 0.001). These autoantibodies may have a role in the pathogenesis of BSE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the knowledge of patients with regard to the side-effects of over-the-counter medicines. METHOD This took the form of ethnographic interviews and focus groups. RESULTS Patients generally had poor knowledge of the potential side-effects of their medication. However, this appeared not to affect their ability to identify adverse drug reactions (ADRs). A number of the patients had experienced ADRs, and they identified a medicine as the cause because of the timing or unexpected nature of the symptom. The patients obtained information about medicines from many sources, including health care professionals, friends and family. Despite wide availability, patient information leaflets were rarely used by the patients. The leaflets were usually only read if the medicine was new or if a side-effect was experienced. Negative views of the leaflets included poor design and long lists of side-effects. CONCLUSION Accurate information and advice from health care professionals could serve to reassure patients and to ensure they are well informed about the medicines they take.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the incidence of coronary-subclavian steal syndrome in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective. SETTING Veterans Affairs Medical Center and university-affiliated medical center. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery and documented use of an internal mammary artery. INTERVENTIONS Bilateral simultaneous brachial blood pressures were determined noninvasively. The presumptive diagnosis of ipsilateral subclavian artery stenosis and coronary-subclavian steal syndrome was made if the systolic blood pressure differential was >20 mmHg. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The presumptive diagnosis of ipsilateral subclavian artery stenosis based on a blood pressure differential was made in 6 of 86 (5%) patients screened. The diagnosis of coronary-subclavian steal syndrome was confirmed at cardiac catheterization by observing retrograde internal mammary artery flow in 3 patients or lack of internal mammary artery flow in 1 patient (3.4%). All 4 patients with angiographic confirmation had either angina or silent ischemia. Three patients had successful carotid subclavian bypass, and 1 patient refused surgery. Two patients had no evidence of myocardial ischemia and underwent their planned procedure without incident. CONCLUSION Coronary-subclavian steal syndrome occurs with relative frequency in noncardiac surgery patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery using internal mammary artery conduits. Bilateral blood pressure measurements should be routinely performed during the preoperative evaluation. A pressure differential >20 mmHg should suggest the possibility of coronary-subclavian steal syndrome.

Abstract
Xenon anaesthesia is thought to have minimal haemodynamic side-effects. It is, however, expensive and requires special delivery systems for economic use. In this randomised cross-over study, we: (i) investigated the haemodynamic profile and recovery characteristics of xenon compared with propofol sedation in postoperative cardiac surgery patients, and (ii) evaluated a fully closed breathing system to minimise xenon consumption. We demonstrated a significantly faster recovery from xenon (3 min 11 s) than propofol sedation (25 min 23 s). Relative to propofol, xenon sedation produced no change in heart rate or mean arterial pressure and there were significantly higher mean values for central venous pressure (10.6 vs. 8.9 mmHg), pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (11.2 vs. 9.5 mmHg), mean pulmonary artery pressure (20.1 vs. 18.3 mmHg) and systemic vascular resistance index (2170 vs. 1896 dyn.s.cm-5.m-2). The haemodynamic profile seen with propofol reflected its known vasodilator effects. This was supported by the almost identical left ventricular stroke work indexes seen with both methods of sedation.

Abstract
One of the in vitro models involved in an ECVAM-sponsored prevalidation study for acute skin irritation is the skin integrity function test (SIFT), which utilises full-thickness mouse skin. We have evaluated nine different skin types in order to identify the most useful model for assessing skin barrier function using transepidermal water loss (TEWL), electrical resistance (ER) and tritiated water flux (TWF) and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) as a standard skin irritant. Tissues were: human skin (epidermis and whole), reconstituted human epidermis (RHE), pig (dermatomed and whole), rabbit (whole), rat (epidermis and whole) and mouse (whole). Barrier function was measured following sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) exposure and expressed as a damage ratio. Human epidermis gave good responses at high doses of SLS only. RHE had abnormally high permeability to water and therefore had little or no response to SLS. Pig skin gave low TEWL ratios and rabbit skin was a poor responder to SLS. Mouse whole skin performed best in this study, giving consistent high damage ratios to TEWL, ER and TWF following SLS treatment. Rat whole skin also performed well but was generally less responsive. We conclude that mouse skin is the best and most practical in vitro model for the SIFT approach for skin irritation prediction.
