Abstract
Most forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are sporadic in nature, but some have genetic causes as first described for the alpha-synuclein gene. The alpha-synuclein protein also accumulates as insoluble aggregates in Lewy bodies in sporadic PD as well as in most inherited forms of PD. The focus of the present study is the modulation of synaptic plasticity in the corticostriatal pathway of transgenic (Tg) mice that overexpress the human alpha-synuclein protein throughout the brain (ASOTg). Paired-pulse facilitation was detected in vitro by activation of corticostriatal afferents in ASOTg mice, consistent with a presynaptic effect of elevated human alpha-synuclein. However basal synaptic transmission was unchanged in ASOTg, suggesting that human alpha-synuclein could impact paired-pulse facilitation via a presynaptic mechanism not directly related to the probability of neurotransmitter release. Mice lacking alpha-synuclein or those expressing normal and A53T human alpha-synuclein in tyrosine hydroxylase-containing neurons showed, instead, paired-pulse depression. High-frequency stimulation induced a presynaptic form of long-term depression solely in ASOTg striatum. A presynaptic, N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor-independent form of chemical long-term potentiation induced by forskolin (FSK) was enhanced in ASOTg striatum, while FSK-induced cAMP levels were reduced in ASOTg synaptoneurosome fractions. Overall the results suggest that elevated human alpha-synuclein alters presynaptic plasticity in the corticostriatal pathway, possibly reflecting a reduction in glutamate at corticostriatal synapses by modulation of adenylyl cyclase signaling pathways. ASOTg mice may recapitulate an early stage in PD during which overexpressed alpha-synuclein dampens corticostriatal synaptic transmission and reduces movement.

Abstract
Pulmonary complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality following major abdominal surgery. Chest physiotherapy aims to decrease the likelihood of these complications and hasten recovery. Exercises aimed at maximising inspiratory effort are the most beneficial for the patients. The incentive spirometer is a handheld device that patients use to achieve effective inspiration. In a nonrandomised pilot study of 263 patients we have found that the addition of the incentive spirometer, as part of an intensive post-operative physiotherapy programme, decreased the occurrence of pulmonary complications (6 vs 17%, p = 0.01) and length of stay on the surgical high dependency unit (3.1 vs 4 days p = 0.03). The two groups were comparable when age, sex, smoking history, the need for emergency surgery and post-operative analgesia were compared.

Abstract
Guidelines for psychosocial support have been developed, but there are no standard approaches in routine oncology practice to identify patients experiencing social difficulties. We have designed and evaluated a Social Difficulties Inventory (SDI) to identify patients requiring further assessment and, where appropriate, referral to support services. The purpose of this study was to develop a clinically meaningful SDI scoring system with guidance for oncology staff. Out of 189 patients, 183 completed the SDI and were interviewed by a social work researcher who scored the SDI independently. Comparison of patient/interviewer assessment was good (intraclass correlation 0.61, 95% confidence interval: 0.51, 0.70). Using top 10% of interviewer social distress (SD) scores to indicate 'SD case', the best 'cut-point' was a patient score of > or =10 (sensitivity=0.80; specificity=0.76; 56 out of 183 'cases'). Out of 127 patients, 72 with SD score <10 had individual SDI item rated at a higher level. Following interview, 32 patients were referred to specialist services, 46 given information and 112 had no action taken. An interpretation algorithm developed includes SD score, individual SDI item rating, and an additional general question, illustrated using four case scenarios. In conclusion, general guidance for interpreting the SDI has been developed to enhance health-care professional/patient consultations with a view to identifying patients who may benefit from support, advice or intervention.

Abstract
There is an emerging body of evidence implicating iron in carcinogenesis and in particular colorectal cancer, but whether this involves Wnt signalling, a major oncogenic signalling pathway has not been studied. We aimed to determine the effect of iron loading on Wnt signalling using mutant APC (Caco-2 and SW480) and wild-type APC (HEK-293 and human primary fibroblasts) containing cell lines. Elevating cellular iron levels in Caco-2 and SW480 cells caused increased Wnt signalling as indicated by increased TOPFLASH reporter activity, increased mRNA expression of two known targets, c-myc and Nkd1, and increased cellular proliferation. In contrast wild-type APC and beta-catenin-containing lines, HEK 293 and human primary fibroblasts were not responsive to iron loading. This was verified in SW480 cells that no longer induced iron-mediated Wnt signalling when transfected with wild-type APC. The cell line LS174T, wild type for APC but mutant for beta-catenin, was also responsive suggesting that the role of iron is to regulate beta-catenin. Furthermore, we show that E-cadherin status has no influence on iron-mediated Wnt signalling. We thus speculate that excess iron could exacerbate tumorigenesis in the background of APC loss, a common finding in cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the impact of neurological consultations on the care of hospital in-patients and to ascertain patients' perceptions, referrals were prospectively recorded over a 6-month period. The neurology team's view and changes suggested to management were documented. All referred patients' notes were reviewed at 6 months and the impact of a neurology referral was determined. RESULTS Two hundred and fifty-four (254) referrals were seen. There was a significant change in diagnosis in 55%, and in management in nearly 70%. Neurological referral facilitated earlier discharge for 65% patients. Thirty-seven of 163 patients contacted at 6 months did not know they were seen by a neurologist. Of those who knew, 57% felt referral had aided in their diagnosis and 86% felt it had aided treatment. CONCLUSIONS Neurological consultations can make a significant difference to in-patient management. Early referral may lead to early discharge. Patient satisfaction was high but not without criticism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past 20 years, there has been an ongoing discussion about the importance of gastric pouch size as a key factor influencing weight loss after bariatric surgery. This analysis aimed to determine the relationship between initial gastric pouch size and excess weight loss (EWL) after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). METHODS Between August 2002 and March 2005, 320 LRYGB were performed at Yale New Haven Hospital. The patients' demographics were entered into a longitudinal, prospective database. Upper gastrointestinal series were routinely performed on postoperative day 1. Pouch size was measured as area (cm2) on an anteroposterior radiograph at maximum pouch distention. Linear regression analysis was performed to determine the association between pouch size and weight loss at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Adjustments were made for age, gender, and preoperative body mass index (BMI). RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 41.2 years. Of the 320 study patients, 261 were women (81.6%) and 59 were men (18.4%). The mean preoperative BMI was 51.1 kg/m2; the mean 6-month EWL was 50.5%; the mean 12-month EWL was 62.5%; and the mean pouch size was 63.9 cm2. A statistically significant, negative correlation between pouch size and EWL was found at 6 months (beta = -0.241; p < 0.01) and at 12 months (beta = -0.302; p < 0.02). The findings show that male gender (beta = 0.147; p < 0.04) and preoperative BMI (beta = 0.190; p < 0.01) are positively correlated with pouch size. CONCLUSION The analysis demonstrates that initial gastric pouch size is not the only significant component for successful weight loss after LRYGB. Male gender and increased preoperative BMI were identified as factors predicting pouch size. Efforts to standardize small pouch size for all patients seems important to the success of surgical therapy for morbid obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The technique of hypotensive resuscitation in haemorrhagic shock involves resuscitation to below normotensive blood pressures achieving the minimum perfusion pressure that will adequately perfuse vital organs until definitive arrest of haemorrhage. AIM To summarise the evidence for the use of hypotensive resuscitation in patients with uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). METHODS A MEDLINE (1966-2004) and Cochrane library search for articles relating to hypotensive resuscitation was undertaken; see text for further details. RESULTS Several animal studies exist using an abdominal aortotomy model of ruptured AAA. These have demonstrated improved tissue perfusion, decreased blood loss and improved survival associated with hypotensive resuscitation compared with aggressive resuscitation. There are several human studies advocating delayed rather than immediate resuscitation in trauma patients but careful review of the literature reveals no prospective studies of hypotensive resuscitation in patients with ruptured AAA. CONCLUSIONS Animal studies demonstrate superiority of hypotensive resuscitation over aggressive resuscitation but further research is required to assess its efficacy in patients with ruptured AAA.

Abstract
Extensins are hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins which are abundant in the cell walls of higher plants and whose precise function has been the subject of much speculation. In order to investigate this, transgenic A. thaliana plants were generated containing the Arabidopsis Atext1 extensin coding sequence under the transcriptional control of the strong constitutive CaMV 35S promoter. Northern analysis and RT-PCR identified transgenics with high constitutive levels of Atext1 mRNA. Hydroxyproline assays confirmed that transgenic plants which over-expressed Atext1 contained high levels of hydroxyproline-rich protein. Phenotypic analysis of the transgenics showed that there were no significant phenotypic effects on the timing of different developmental stages or on the general form of the plant. However, transgenics with high extensin levels showed an enhanced increase in stem thickness, with an indirect effect on stem height. This effect, is, however, rather small, with a reduction in height of between 5-8% depending on the transgenic line being analysed.

Abstract
Extended antigen (C, E, K) matching decreased the incidence of alloantibody (alloAB) and autoantibody (autoAB) formation, in addition to eliminating transfusion reactions in the multiply transfused sickle cell disease patients. AlloAB formation possibly transforms the immune system into a hyperactive state leading to further and earlier alloAB and autoAB formation. However, additional CEK matching results in marked overuse of Rh-negative packed red blood cell (pRBC) units, 30 minutes' extra time of a skilled technologist, and 153 dollars extra CEK reagent cost per unit to find CEK-matched pRBCs for every transfusion for these multiply transfused patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In 1997 a review of paramedic practice upon adult patients in the UK found many inconsistencies and deficiencies in basic care. A follow up review in 2002 identified widespread improvement in provision of equipment and skills to provide basic and advanced life support.Paediatric care was not assessed in either review. The authors conducted this study to identify current standards of care in paediatric paramedic practice and areas of potential improvement. METHOD A questionnaire designed to determine what equipment and skills were available to paramedics for the management of common or serious paediatric emergencies was sent to chief executives of the 32 NHS Ambulance Trusts in England and Wales. RESULTS The trend of expanding and standardising practice among adult patients has not extended to paediatric practice despite national guidelines from the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee (JRCALC). Furthermore there are some serious failings in the provision of care and skills. Many Trusts have not adopted JRCALC guidelines for the management of life threatening paediatric emergencies such as asthma, meningitis, and fluid replacement in hypovolaemia. CONCLUSIONS Ambulance Trusts not meeting standards set out in the JRCALC guidelines must address their areas of deficiency. Failure to do so endangers children's lives and leaves Trusts open to criticism.

Abstract
The nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) is a simple airway adjunct used by various healthcare professionals. It has some advantages over the oropharyngeal airway (OPA) but despite this it appears to be used less frequently. This may be due to fears over intracranial placement in cases of possible basal skull fracture. This fear, promulgated by training, is based solely on two single case reports and relative risk needs to be put into clinical context. Widely taught methods of sizing NPAs are based upon the width of the patient's nostril or little finger, MRI data demonstrate that these methods are inaccurate. Ideal NPA length measured at nasal endoscopy correlates with subject height, this is independent of subject sex, and is a far more accurate determinant and easy to use in the clinical setting. Average height females require a Portex size 6 NPA and average height males a size 7 Portex NPA. This knowledge provides a rapid method of NPA selection.

Abstract
Four patients who had imbrication of their proximal rectum and distal sigmoid colon as part of the management of constipation following an anorectoplasty for an anorectal anomaly. Three children with an anorectal anomaly presented with constipation and marked dilation of the rectosigmoid portion of the large bowel; each had longitudinal imbrication of the dilated segment, via a left iliac fossa incision. The forth was born with a cloacal anomaly with associated colonic atresia. The small bowel was used to construct the anorectum following a redo anorectoplasty. Subsequently, the small bowel became ectatic, resulting in the patient developing persistent watery diarrhoea and severe perianal excoriation, which was managed with a 30 cm longitudinal imbrication of the distal bowel during an extensive laparotomy. All 4 have patients now have near normal bowel motions with minimal medication, after only a short hospital stay. Residual problematic dilatation of the rectosigmoid colon in patients with a high anorectal anomaly, in the presence of constipation, can be successfully managed by imbrication of the dilated segment, if carefully selected.
