Abstract
BACKGROUND The National Service Framework for coronary heart disease requires primary care teams to identify patients who are at high risk of cardiovascular events and treat those with high blood pressure. However, there are no data on how many must be assessed, how much cardiovascular disease can be prevented or which patients are most likely to benefit. AIM To estimate the potential number of patients who are eligible for blood pressure assessment, the number of preventable cardiovascular disease events and the relative efficiency of the strategy in different age groups. DESIGN OF STUDY Modelling exercise. SETTING Hypothetical population of 100,000. METHOD The age-sex specific prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and of current anti-hypertensive treatment were obtained from published sources and combined with published estimates of the effectiveness of anti-hypertensive treatment. From these data were calculated numbers of persons eligible for assessment and treatment, and numbers of preventable cardiovascular events. RESULTS There were 79,607 persons eligible for assessment and 5888 eligible for treatment. Treatment could prevent between 101 and 139 cardiovascular events annually. There were 11,571 persons aged over 65 years and eligible for assessment and 4655 eligible for treatment. Treatment could prevent 85 to 117 cardiovascular events annually. No cardiovascular events are prevented in persons aged under 45 years. CONCLUSION Confining assessment to the 16% who are aged over 65 years prevents 85% of the population's avoidable cardiovascular disease. Primary care teams should assess and treat persons aged over 65 years before assessing younger patients. No health benefit results from assessing persons aged under 45 years.

Abstract
Education and counseling are important aspects of the management of patients starting dialysis. Free choice of modality may enhance patient well-being and, in the absence of clear survival benefits for either hemodialysis (HD) or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), should have the major role in modality selection. This prospective study examines factors influencing this choice. Three hundred thirty-three new patients started renal replacement therapy at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital (Birmingham, UK) between August 1, 1992, and July 31, 1998. Data were incomplete for 14 patients, 11 patients were not counseled, and 54 patients had contraindications to a particular modality. The remaining 254 patients were offered a free choice. One hundred thirty-nine patients (55%) chose HD and 115 patients (45%) chose CAPD. Independent predictors for choosing CAPD rather than HD were being married (P = 0.004), being counseled before the start of dialysis (P = 0.019), and increased distance from the base unit (P < 0.001). Independent predictors for choosing HD were increasing age (P = 0.030) and male sex (P = 0.041). Use of these data should enhance planning of dialysis services and bring nearer the goal that all new patients with ESRD are able to have the dialysis modality of their choice.

Abstract
We apply a quasi-model-independent strategy ("Sleuth") to search for new high p(T) physics in approximately 100 pb(-1) of pp collisions at square root of (s) = 1.8 TeV collected by the D0 experiment during 1992-1996 at the Fermilab Tevatron. We systematically analyze many exclusive final states and demonstrate sensitivity to a variety of models predicting new phenomena at the electroweak scale. No evidence of new high p(T) physics is observed.

Abstract
The D0 Collaboration has measured the inclusive jet cross section in barpp collisions at square root of s = 630 GeV. The results for pseudorapidities (eta)<0.5 are combined with our previous results at square root of s = 1800 GeV to form a ratio of cross sections with smaller uncertainties than either individual measurement. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions show excellent agreement with the measurement at 630 GeV; agreement is also satisfactory for the ratio. Specifically, despite a 10% to 15% difference in the absolute magnitude, the dependence of the ratio on jet transverse momentum is very similar for data and theory.

Abstract
We report on a study of the ratio of inclusive three-jet to inclusive two-jet production cross sections as a function of total transverse energy in p&pmacr; collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV, using data collected with the D0 detector during the 1992-1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurements are used to deduce preferred renormalization scales in perturbative O(alpha(3)(s)) QCD calculations in modeling soft-jet emission.

Abstract
In this study, Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) and pyrogallol red/molybdate (PRM) protein dye-binding assays for total protein determination in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are compared. Using human albumin (HA) as a protein calibrator, protein concentration in CSF samples (n = 73) ranged from 55-1960 mg/L (median: 315 mg/L) with the CBB assay, and from 95-2450 mg/L (median: 395 mg/L) with the PRM assay. Linear regression analysis indicated yCBB = 0.824xPRM - 8 (r = 0.99). The discrepancy between the values was investigated by comparing the response of the two assays to different proteins. Compared with HA, the PRM assay showed a more uniform response to human albumin/globulin (A/G) and bovine gamma globulin (G) than did the CBB assay, but it gave high colour yields with bovine myelin basic protein. When CSF was assayed using A/G as a protein calibrator, agreement between the methods improved (yCBB = 0.960xPRM + 0 [r = 0.99]), indicating that comparability is dictated by the choice of protein calibrator. Of the two assays studied, the PRM assay is recommended for CSF protein determination because it gives a more uniform and linear response to human albumin and globulin over a wider working range.

Abstract
The Pyrogallol Red Molybdate (PRM) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) protein dye-binding assays have been applied to samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to investigate protein concentration by dye precipitation prior to sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The protein concentration values of the CSF samples (N=62) showed good agreement between the PRM and CBB assays as indicated by linear regression analysis (y(PRM)=1.033x(CBB)+1.004 in units of mg/l, r=0.99) but the PRM assay was optimal for protein concentration as the PRM protein-dye complex was less soluble allowing protein recovery over a wider working range. Dye precipitation using PRM is recommended as a simple, rapid and economic method for protein concentration of samples of CSF prior to SDS-PAGE.

Abstract
We report a new measurement of the pseudorapidity (eta) and transverse-energy ( E(T)) dependence of the inclusive jet production cross section in pp(macro) collisions at square root of s = 1.8 TeV using 95 pb(-1) of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The differential cross section d(2)sigma/(dE(T)d eta) is presented up to eta = 3, significantly extending previous measurements. The results are in good overall agreement with next-to-leading order predictions from QCD and indicate a preference for certain parton distribution functions.

Abstract
We report a search for effects of large extra spatial dimensions in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector, using events containing a pair of electrons or photons. The data are in good agreement with the expected background and do not exhibit evidence for large extra dimensions. We set the most restrictive lower limits to date, at the 95% C.L. on the effective Planck scale between 1.0 and 1.4 TeV for several formalisms and numbers of extra dimensions.

Abstract
During the past century, manufacturing industry has achieved great success in improving the quality of its products. An essential factor in this success has been the use of Walter A Shewhart's pioneering work in the economic control of variation, which culminated in the development of a simple yet powerful graphical method known as the control chart. This chart classifies variation as having a common cause or special cause and thus guides the user to the most appropriate action to effect improvement. Using six case studies, including the excess deaths after paediatric cardiac surgery seen in Bristol, UK, and the activities of general practitioner turned murderer Harold Shipman, we show a central role for Shewhart's approach in turning the rhetoric of clinical governance into a reality.

OBJECTIVE To compare the relative accuracy of cardiovascular disease risk prediction methods based on equations derived from the Framingham heart study. DESIGN Risk factor data were collected prospectively from subjects being evaluated by their primary care physicians for prevention of cardiovascular disease. Projected cardiovascular risks were calculated for each patient with the Framingham equations, and also estimated from the risk tables and charts based on the same equations. SETTING 12 primary care practices (46 doctors) in Birmingham. PATIENTS 691 subjects aged 30-70 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the Framingham based risk tables and charts for treatment thresholds based on projected cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease risk. RESULTS 59 subjects (8.5%) had projected 10 year coronary heart disease risks >/= 30%, and 291 (42.1%) had risks >/= 15%. At equivalent projected risk levels (10 year coronary heart disease >/= 30% and five year cardiovascular disease >/= 20%), the original Sheffield tables and those from New Zealand have the same sensitivities (40.0%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 26.6% to 57.8% v 41.2%, 95% CI 28.7% to 57. 3%) and specificities (98.6%, 95% CI 97.2% to 99.3% v 99.7%, 95% CI 98.8% to 100%). Modifications to the Sheffield tables improve sensitivity (91.4%, 95% CI 81.3% to 96.9%) but reduce specificity (95.8%, 95% CI 93.9% to 97.3%). The revised joint British recommendations' charts have high specificity (98.7%, 95% CI 97.5% to 99.5%) and good sensitivity (84.7%, 95% CI 71.0% to 93.0%). CONCLUSIONS The revised joint British recommendations charts appear to have the best combination of sensitivity and specificity for use in primary care patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the maternal outcome, in terms of postpartum infection, of deliveries conducted by trained traditional birth attendants (TBAs) with those conducted by untrained birth attendants. METHODS The study took place in a rural area of Bangladesh where a local NGO (BRAC) had previously undertaken TBA training. Demographic surveillance in the study site allowed the systematic identification of pregnant women. Pregnant women were recruited continuously over a period of 18 months. Data on the delivery circumstances were collected shortly after delivery while data on postpartum morbidity were collected prospectively at 2 and 6 weeks. All women with complete records who had delivered at home with a non-formal birth attendant (800) were included in the analysis. The intervention investigated was TBA training in hygienic delivery comprising the 'three cleans' (hand-washing with soap, clean cord care, clean surface). The key outcome measure was maternal postpartum genital tract infection diagnosed by a symptom complex of any two out of three symptoms: foul discharge, fever, lower abdominal pain. RESULTS Trained TBAs were significantly more likely to practice hygienic delivery than untrained TBAs (45.0 vs. 19.3%, p < 0.0001). However, no significant difference in levels of postpartum infection was found when deliveries by trained TBAs and untrained TBAs were compared. The practice of hygienic delivery itself also had no significant effect on postpartum infection. Logistic regression models confirmed that TBA training and hygienic delivery had no independent effect on postpartum outcome. Other factors, such as pre-existing infection, long labour and insertion of hands into the vagina were found to be highly significant. CONCLUSIONS Trained TBAs are more likely to practice hygienic delivery than those that are untrained. However, hygienic delivery practices do not prevent postpartum infection in this community. Training TBAs to wash their hands is not an effective strategy to prevent maternal postpartum infection. More rigorous evaluation is needed, not only of TBA training programmes as a whole, but also of the effectiveness of the individual components of the training.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the utility of the different elements of screening expatriates and travellers returned from the tropics for parasitic disease (exposure history, symptoms, examination and laboratory tests). METHODS In phase 1 (conducted prospectively 1990-91), 1029 asymptomatic returnees had a detailed questionnaire and interview on risk-behaviour, physical examination and laboratory tests. In phase 2 (1997-98), 510 consecutive patients referred for routine screening (276 symptomatic and 234 asymptomatic) were screened with laboratory tests. RESULTS Exposure history did not correlate reliably with parasite burden. In phase 1 physical examination revealed 387 abnormalities, only three of which indicated parasitic disease. Schistosomal serology was positive in 11% (CI 9-13) of these asymptomatic cases including patients with light or no reported freshwater exposure. Stool microscopy was positive in 19% (CI 16-22) of cases not correlated with reported eating habits, and eosinophilia was present in 8% (CI 6-10). In phase 2 reported symptoms did not correlate with parasitic disease. Schistosomiasis was present in 15% (CI 13-24) of asymptomatic and 18% (CI 13-22) of symptomatic individuals (OR 1.2 P = 0.46); stool microscopy was positive in 14% of both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, and eosinophilia in 9% of symptomatic and 6% of asymptomatic individuals. CONCLUSION Potentially serious asymptomatic infection is common in travellers. Detailed exposure history, symptom history and physical examination added little to detecting cases. Stool microscopy, schistosomal serology and eosinophil count all had good yield. Filarial serology had low yield in patients without eosinophilia.

Abstract
Inclusive dijet production at large pseudorapidity intervals (Deltaeta) between the two jets has been suggested as a regime for observing Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) dynamics. We have measured the dijet cross section for large Deltaeta in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1800 and 630 GeV using the D0 detector. The partonic cross section increases strongly with the size of Deltaeta. The observed growth is even stronger than expected on the basis of BFKL resummation in the leading logarithmic approximation. The growth of the partonic cross section can be accommodated with an effective BFKL intercept of alphaBFKL(20 GeV)=1.65+/-0.07.

Abstract
We report on a measurement of sigma(pp-->W+X)B(W-->taunu) in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity (lum) of 18 pb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector during 1994-1995. We find that sigma(pp-->W+X)B(W-->taunu)=2.22+/-0.09 (stat)+/-0. 10 (syst)+/-0.10 (lum) nb. Lepton universality predicts that the ratio of the tau and electron electroweak charged current couplings to the W boson, gWtau/gWe, be unity. We find gWtau/gWe=0.980+/-0.031, in agreement with lepton universality.

Abstract
CERVUS is a Windows-based software package written to infer paternity in natural populations. It offers advantages over exclusionary-based methods of paternity inference in that multiple nonexcluded males can be statistically distinguished, laboratory typing error is considered and statistical confidence is determined for assigned paternities through simulation. In this study we use a panel of 84 microsatellite markers to retrospectively determine the accuracy of statistical confidence when CERVUS was used to infer paternity in a population of red deer (Cervus elaphus). The actual confidence of CERVUS-assigned paternities was not significantly different from that predicted by simulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The total protein content of urine is a good index of renal function, but its determination is unreliable. Protein dye-binding assays are simple, but they characteristically lack a uniform response to different proteins. METHODS We investigated a differential response of the Sigma Microprotein Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and Pyrogallol Red-molybdate (PRM) protein dye-binding assays to urine, using human albumin, albumin/globulin, or urinary protein as calibrator. RESULTS The urine protein values (n = 60) obtained with the CBB assay were 110-13 500 mg/L (mean, 2390 mg/L) compared with 160-18 300 mg/L (mean, 3470 mg/L) obtained with the PRM assay (CBB:PRM protein concentration ratio, 0.46-0.88, mean, 0. 69 +/- 0.10). The differential response was highly reproducible as indicated by Sigma urine control Level 1 (within-day CBB:PRM ratio, 0.68 +/- 0.02; between-day CBB:PRM ratio, 0.67 +/- 0.04) and Sigma urine control Level 2 (within-day CBB:PRM ratio, 0.60 +/- 0.01; between-day CBB:PRM ratio, 0.59 +/- 0.02). The use of urinary protein as a calibrator (rather than human albumin) greatly improved the agreement between the assays when applied to urine (y(CBB) = 0. 972x(PRM) - 16 vs y(CBB) = 0.685x(PRM) + 17). In studies using urine controls, this calibrator also improved agreement between the CBB, PRM, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and benzethonium chloride protein methods and, to a lesser extent, agreement with the TCA-Ponceau S method. CONCLUSION The use of a urinary protein calibrator improves the agreement between different methods used to determine total protein in urine.

Abstract
Rates of resistance for two consecutive years for 28 centres (10 Teaching, nine Associate Teaching and nine District General hospitals) in the UK were compared. Combined rates of resistance for each of the hospital types of Staphylococcus aureus to methicillin revealed an increase in the rate of resistance in Teaching hospitals (12.5% year 1, 23.5% year 2), but, for Associate Teaching and District General hospitals rates fell (Associate Teaching 19.1% year 1, 11.9% year 2; District General 16.5% year 1 and 11.3% year 2). Using conventional methodology to determine MICs, no strain was considered to have reduced susceptibility to vancomycin. Among coagulase-negative staphylococci, increased resistance was observed for Staphylococcus epidermidis to rifampicin, for Staphylococcus haemolyticus to clindamycin, for Staphylococcus saprophyticus to penicillin and for Staphylococcus spp. to clindamycin, methicillin and rifampicin. For Streptococcus pneumoniae an upward trend in low-level resistance to penicillin was observed (18 of the 28 centres), however, for high-level resistance the trend was in the opposite direction (only four centres showed an increase). For Enterococcus faecalis there was a trend to a fall in levels of resistance, the only exception being an increase in high-level gentamicin resistance (10.5% year 1, 15.1% year 2, P = 0.0388). For Enterococcus faecium rates of resistance were not significantly different except for increases in resistance to nitrofurantoin and rifampicin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether asthma morbidity in minority groups can be reduced by preventative health care measures delivered in the relevant ethnic dialects requires further evaluation. This study reports clinical outcomes and quality of life from a community based project investigating white European (W/E) and Indian subcontinent (ISC) ethnic groups with asthma living in deprived inner city areas of Birmingham, UK. METHODS Six hundred and eighty nine asthmatic subjects (345 W/E, 344 ISC) of mean (SD) age 34.5 (15) years (range 11-59) and mean forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) of 80% predicted were interviewed in English, Punjabi, Hindi, or Urdu. Subjects randomised to the active limb of a prospective, open, randomised, controlled, parallel group, 12 month follow up study underwent individually based asthma education and optimisation of drug therapy with four monthly follow up (active intervention). Control groups were seen only at the beginning and end of the study. Urgent or emergency interactions with primary and secondary health care (clinical outcomes) and both cross sectional and longitudinal data from an Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) were analysed. RESULTS Clinical outcomes were available for 593 subjects. Fewer of the active intervention group consulted their GP (41.8% versus 57.8%, odds ratio (OR) 0.52 (95% CI 0.37 to 0.74)) or were prescribed antibiotics (34.9% versus 51.2%, OR 0.51 (95% CI 0.36 to 0.72)), but by ethnicity statistically significant changes occurred only in the W/E group with fewer also attending A&E departments and requiring urgent home visits. Active intervention reduced the number of hospital admissions (10 versus 30), GP consultations (341 versus 476), prescriptions of rescue oral steroids (92 versus 177), and antibiotics (220 versus 340), but again significant improvements by ethnicity only occurred in the active W/E group. AQLQ scores were negatively skewed to the higher values; regression analysis showed that lower values were associated with ISC ethnicity. Longitudinal changes (for 522 subjects) in the mean AQLQ scores were small but statistically significant for both ethnic groups, with scores improving in the active and worsening in the control groups. CONCLUSIONS Active intervention only improved clinical outcomes in the W/E group. AQLQ scores, although lower in the ISC group, were improved by active intervention in both ethnic groups.

Abstract
Ferret parotid saliva has been analysed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) to determine, for the first time, its protein composition. SDS-PAGE, in combination with Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) staining, revealed up to 20 bands and the patterns were characterised by major protein constituents of Mr 105000, 51000, 47000, 33000, 22000 and 16 400 common to all samples from all animals. Sequential samples collected from the same animal during prolonged stimulation of the parasympathetic nerve (40 min at 40 Hz) showed subtle but reproducible protein changes. Saliva collected from different animals varied widely in the amount of a protein Mr 66000. 2-DE, in combination with silver staining, revealed up to 300 spots and the patterns were characterised by major protein constituents of Mr 105000 (pI 6.3-7.2), Mr 66000 (pI 4.7-5.3), Mr 51000 (pI 5.0-5.7), Mr 47000 (pI 6.0-7.5), and Mr 33000 (pI 4.7-6.0). Many of the polypeptide spot clusters consisted of one or more horizontal strings of spots suggesting extensive microheterogeneity. Both SDS-PAGE and 2-DE indicated that the protein patterns of ferret parotid saliva evoked by electrical stimulation of the parasympathetic nerve in the absence or presence of atropine are similar, i.e., the protein composition of the atropine-resistant nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (NANC) secretion is similar to that of saliva evoked in the absence of muscarinic receptor blockade.

Abstract
We took posteroanterior weight-bearing radiographs, both with the joint fully extended and in 30° of flexion, in a consecutive series of 50 knees in 37 patients referred for the primary assessment of pain and/or stiffness. These radiographs were reported ‘blind’ both by an orthopaedic surgeon and a radiologist. Direct measurement of the joint space, together with grading of the severity of erosion according to the Ahlback criteria, was undertaken. Any other abnormality present was also documented. The radiographs of the knees in 30° of flexion consistently showed more advanced erosion in both the medial (p = 0.001) and the lateral (p = 0.0001) tibiofemoral compartments, when compared with those of knees in full extension. The Ahlback classification of 25 joints was altered, in some cases by several grades, by the flexed position of the joint. In every case in which another abnormality was identified on the radiograph in full extension, it was also noted on that of the knee in 30° of flexion. In a further four cases, additional pathology could only be seen in the flexed knee. Every patient was able to complete the radiological examination without difficulty. Our study supports the adoption of a weight-bearing view in 30° of flexion as the standard posteroanterior radiograph for the assessment of tibiofemoral osteoarthritis in patients over 50 years of age.

Abstract
Silver staining and high-resolution electrophoretic methods have been used to compare the protein composition of rat parotid saliva evoked in response to (i) parasympathetic stimulation (including the nonadrenergic, noncholinergic, atropine-associated secretion), (ii) sympathetic stimulation, or (iii) the infusion of neuropeptides with secretagogue activity (substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, neuropeptide Y, or vasoactive intestinal peptide). The different stimuli influenced the protein concentration and flow rate of the evoked secretion but had little effect upon the protein composition of the saliva. In contrast to earlier studies using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Coomassie blue staining, the combination of silver staining and two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) revealed many newly detected proteins. The results indicate that the protein composition of rat parotid saliva is more complex than previously reported but is unaffected by the mode of stimulation.

Abstract
The electrophoresis of Bence Jones proteinuria (BJP) by urinary protein electrophoresis (UPE), immunoelectrophoresis (IE), immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE), sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), isoelectric focusing (IEF), two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) is described. UPE, IE and IFE are briefly discussed as clinical laboratory methods for the detection and typing of free light chain (LC) whilst the high resolution electrophoretic methods (SDS-PAGE, IEF, 2-DE and CE) are considered in greater detail as research tools for molecular characterisation of free LC and its association with nephrotoxicity. Refinements of sample processing designed to improve the standardisation of analysis of BJP by high resolution electrophoretic methods are reported.
