Abstract
The mesomycetozoean parasite Ichthyophonus hoferi is most commonly associated with marine fish hosts but also occurs in some components of the freshwater rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss aquaculture industry in Idaho, USA. It is not certain how the parasite was introduced into rainbow trout culture, but it might have been associated with the historical practice of feeding raw, ground common carp Cyprinus carpio that were caught by commercial fisherman. Here, we report a major genetic division between west coast freshwater and marine isolates of Ichthyophonus hoferi. Sequence differences were not detected in 2 regions of the highly conserved small subunit (18S) rDNA gene; however, nucleotide variation was seen in internal transcribed spacer loci (ITS1 and ITS2), both within and among the isolates. Intra-isolate variation ranged from 2.4 to 7.6 nucleotides over a region consisting of approximately 740 bp. Majority consensus sequences from marine/anadromous hosts differed in only 0 to 3 nucleotides (99.6 to 100% nucleotide identity), while those derived from freshwater rainbow trout had no nucleotide substitutions relative to each other. However, the consensus sequences between isolates from freshwater rainbow trout and those from marine/anadromous hosts differed in 13 to 16 nucleotides (97.8 to 98.2% nucleotide identity).

Abstract
Prenatal exposure to alcohol can result in a spectrum of adverse developmental outcomes, collectively termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). This study evaluated deficits in sensory, motor and cognitive processing in children with FASD that can be identified using eye movement testing. Our study group was composed of 89 children aged 8-15 years with a diagnosis within the FASD spectrum [i.e. fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), partial fetal alcohol syndrome (pFAS), and alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND)], and 92 controls. Subjects looked either towards (prosaccade) or away from (antisaccade) a peripheral target that appeared on a computer monitor, and eye movements were recorded with a mobile, video-based eye tracker. We hypothesized that: (i) differences in the magnitude of deficits in eye movement control exist across the three diagnostic subgroups; and (ii) children with FASD display a developmental delay in oculomotor control. Children with FASD had increased saccadic reaction times (SRTs), increased intra-subject variability in SRTs, and increased direction errors in both the prosaccade and antisaccade tasks. Although development was associated with improvements across tasks, children with FASD failed to achieve age-matched control levels of performance at any of the ages tested. Moreover, children with ARND had faster SRTs and made fewer direction errors in the antisaccade task than children with pFAS or FAS, although all subgroups were different from controls. Our results demonstrate that eye tracking can be used as an objective measure of brain injury in FASD, revealing behavioral deficits in all three diagnostic subgroups independent of facial dysmorphology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic prenatal alcohol exposure causes a spectrum of deleterious effects in offspring, collectively termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), and deficits in executive function are prevalent in FASD. The goal of this research was to test the hypothesis that children with FASD exhibit performance deficits in tasks that assess attention, planning and spatial working memory. METHODS Subjects (8-15 years male and female children) with a diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), partial FAS (pFAS), or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), and age- and sex-matched controls, completed four tasks selected from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Tests Automated Battery (CANTAB). RESULTS Compared with age-matched control children (n = 92), subjects with FASD (n = 89) exhibited longer reaction and decision times (effect size range; Cohen's d = .51 to .73), suggesting deficits in attention. Children with FASD demonstrated deficits in planning and spatial working memory that became more pronounced when task difficulty increased. The largest effect size in this study population (Cohen's d = 1.1) occurred in the spatial working memory task. Only one outcome measure revealed differences across the diagnostic subgroups, although all groups were different from control. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that deficits in multiple executive function domains, including set shifting, planning and strategy use, attention and spatial working memory, can be assessed in children with FASD using an easy to administer, brief battery of computer-based neuropsychological tasks. The tasks appear to be equally sensitive for brain injury resulting from prenatal exposure to alcohol, regardless of the presence of facial dysmorphology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether poor outcome after spinal pain episodes is linked with the claim process and, if so, whether this link is independent of other potential risk factors of chronic pain and disability in patients with spine-related leg or arm pain. METHODS A 1-year prospective outcome study with internal control groups in two Danish secondary care, public, multidisciplinary, non-surgical spine clinics. Patients with low back pain (LBP) radiating to the leg (n = 1243) or with neck and arm pain thought to emanate from the neck (n = 202) were referred to the clinics by their general practitioners. Rheumatologists, physiotherapists, and nurses examined, treated, and informed the patients based on cognitive principles. Follow-up data were collected with a postal questionnaire. Claim, defined as seeking some sort of financial compensation or filing any sort of financial claim, such as workers' compensation, was the main independent variable. Potential confounders examined were: age, sex, social class, smoking, duration and severity of pain and disability. The main outcome measures were: global assessment (main outcome variable), pain, disability, and intake of analgesics. RESULTS Financial claims were registered by 31% of patients. After adjustment for covariates, the odds ratio for claim and no improvement was calculated to be 4.2 (95% CI 2.8-6.2) for the LBP/leg patients and 17.4 (95% CI 5.1-60.1) for the neck/arm patients. CONCLUSION A claim for financial compensation is strongly and independently linked with a poor prognosis for Danish patients with pain radiating from the low-back or neck.

Glucagon-like peptide-1, but not glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, inhibits glucagon secretion via somatostatin (receptor subtype 2) in the perfused rat pancreas. Diabetologia 2008; 51:2263-70.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The glucose-lowering effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is based not only upon its potent insulinotropic actions but also on its ability to restrain glucagon secretion. Surprisingly, the closely related glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) stimulates glucagon release. We examined whether the islet hormone somatostatin, which strongly inhibits glucagon secretion, is involved in this divergent behaviour. METHODS At 1.5 mmol/l glucose and therefore minimal insulin secretion, the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin responses to 20 mmol/l glucose, GLP-1, GIP and somatostatin were studied in the presence of a high-affinity monoclonal somatostatin antibody and of a highly specific somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) antagonist (PRL-2903) in the isolated perfused rat pancreas. RESULTS In control experiments, GLP-1 at 1 and 10 nmol/l reduced glucagon secretion significantly to 59.0 +/- 6.3% (p < 0.004; n = 5; SSTR2 series; each vs pre-infusion level) and to 48.0 +/- 2.6% (p < 0.001; n = 6; somatostatin antibody series) respectively. During somatostatin antibody administration, GLP-1 still inhibited glucagon secretion significantly, but the effect was less pronounced than in control experiments (p < 0.018). Co-infusion of the SSTR2 antagonist completely abolished the GLP-1-induced suppression of glucagon secretion. In contrast, neither the GIP-induced stimulation of glucagon release nor its inhibition by 20 mmol/l glucose was altered by somatostatin antibody or SSTR2 antagonist administration. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION We conclude that GLP-1 is capable of inhibiting glucagon secretion even in the absence of secretory products from the beta cell. It is highly likely that this is mediated via somatostatin interacting with SSTR2 on rat alpha cells. In contrast, GIP and glucose seem to influence the alpha cell independently of somatostatin secretion.
