Abstract
The performance of birds appears to vary among the flock of growing broilers which may in part be due to variation in their gut microbiota. In the view of poultry industry, it is desirable to minimise such variation. We investigated metagenomic profile of fecal bacteria in birds with high and low feed conversion ratio (FCR) to identify microbial community linked to low and high FCR by employing high throughput pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genomic targets. Therefore feeding trial was investigated in order to identify fecal bacteria consistently linked with better feed conversion ratio in bird performance as measured by body weight gain. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene based pyrosequencing was used to provide a comparative analysis of fecal microbial diversity. The fecal microbial community of birds was predominated by Proteobacteria (48.04 % in high FCR and 49.98 % in low FCR), Firmicutes (26.17 % in high FCR and 36.23 % in low FCR), Bacteroidetes (18.62 % in high FCR and 11.66 % in low FCR), as well as unclassified bacteria (15.77 % in high FCR and 14.29 % in low FCR), suggesting that a large portion of fecal microbiota is novel and could be involved in currently unknown functions. The most prevalent bacterial classes in high FCR and low FCR were Gammaproteobacteria, Clostridia and Bacteroidia. However in low FCR birds Phascolarctobacterium, Faecalibacterium and Clostridium predominated among the Clostridia. In FCR comparison of fecal bacteria, about 36 genera were differentially abundant between high and low FCR birds. This information could be used to formulate effective strategies to improve feed efficiency and feed formulation for optimal gut health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Screening for congenital heart defects (CHDs) relies on antenatal ultrasound and postnatal clinical examination; however, life-threatening defects often go undetected. OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy, acceptability and cost-effectiveness of pulse oximetry as a screening test for CHDs in newborn infants. DESIGN A test accuracy study determined the accuracy of pulse oximetry. Acceptability of testing to parents was evaluated through a questionnaire, and to staff through focus groups. A decision-analytic model was constructed to assess cost-effectiveness. SETTING Six UK maternity units. PARTICIPANTS These were 20,055 asymptomatic newborns at ≥ 35 weeks' gestation, their mothers and health-care staff. INTERVENTIONS Pulse oximetry was performed prior to discharge from hospital and the results of this index test were compared with a composite reference standard (echocardiography, clinical follow-up and follow-up through interrogation of clinical databases). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Detection of major CHDs - defined as causing death or requiring invasive intervention up to 12 months of age (subdivided into critical CHDs causing death or intervention before 28 days, and serious CHDs causing death or intervention between 1 and 12 months of age); acceptability of testing to parents and staff; and the cost-effectiveness in terms of cost per timely diagnosis. RESULTS Fifty-three of the 20,055 babies screened had a major CHD (24 critical and 29 serious), a prevalence of 2.6 per 1000 live births. Pulse oximetry had a sensitivity of 75.0% [95% confidence interval (CI) 53.3% to 90.2%] for critical cases and 49.1% (95% CI 35.1% to 63.2%) for all major CHDs. When 23 cases were excluded, in which a CHD was already suspected following antenatal ultrasound, pulse oximetry had a sensitivity of 58.3% (95% CI 27.7% to 84.8%) for critical cases (12 babies) and 28.6% (95% CI 14.6% to 46.3%) for all major CHDs (35 babies). False-positive (FP) results occurred in 1 in 119 babies (0.84%) without major CHDs (specificity 99.2%, 95% CI 99.0% to 99.3%). However, of the 169 FPs, there were six cases of significant but not major CHDs and 40 cases of respiratory or infective illness requiring medical intervention. The prevalence of major CHDs in babies with normal pulse oximetry was 1.4 (95% CI 0.9 to 2.0) per 1000 live births, as 27 babies with major CHDs (6 critical and 21 serious) were missed. Parent and staff participants were predominantly satisfied with screening, perceiving it as an important test to detect ill babies. There was no evidence that mothers given FP results were more anxious after participating than those given true-negative results, although they were less satisfied with the test. White British/Irish mothers were more likely to participate in the study, and were less anxious and more satisfied than those of other ethnicities. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of pulse oximetry plus clinical examination compared with examination alone is approximately £24,900 per timely diagnosis in a population in which antenatal screening for CHDs already exists. CONCLUSIONS Pulse oximetry is a simple, safe, feasible test that is acceptable to parents and staff and adds value to existing screening. It is likely to identify cases of critical CHDs that would otherwise go undetected. It is also likely to be cost-effective given current acceptable thresholds. The detection of other pathologies, such as significant CHDs and respiratory and infective illnesses, is an additional advantage. Other pulse oximetry techniques, such as perfusion index, may enhance detection of aortic obstructive lesions. FUNDING The National Institute for Health Research Health Technology programme.

Abstract
Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were used on a dataset of compounds, some of them having been reported to inhibit Plasmodium falciparum protein, farnesyltransferase. The co-crystal structure of the lead molecule, BMS-214662 bound to Rat-PFT was used as a template. CoMFA yielded a good model, with r²(ncv) = 0.909, r²(cv) = 0.617 and was validated using an external set r²(pred) = 0.748). It compared favourably with CoMSIA. In the CoMFA model the steric and electrostatic fields exerted an almost equal influence on activity. The contour maps indicated the necessity for sterically large electropositive groups with electronegative tail to be present in these molecules for activity, and sterically large electronegative moieties on the sulfonamide linker. By incorporating these features some new compounds have been identified for further investigation.

Abstract
The clinical and radiological results of 50 consecutive acetabular reconstructions in 48 patients using impaction grafting have been retrospectively reviewed. A 1:1 mixture of frozen, ground irradiated bone graft and Apapore 60, a synthetic bone graft substitute, was used in all cases. There were 13 complex primary and 37 revision procedures with a mean follow-up of five years (3.4 to 7.6). The clinical survival rate was 100%, with improvements in the mean Harris Hip Scores for pain and function. Radiologically, 30 acetabular grafts showed evidence of incorporation, ten had radiolucent lines and two acetabular components migrated initially before stabilising. Acetabular reconstruction in both primary and revision surgery using a 1:1 mixture of frozen, ground, irriadiated bone and Apapore 60 appears to be a reliable method of managing acetabular defects. Longer follow-up will be required to establish whether this technique is as effective as using fresh-frozen allograft.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic hemostasis and proton pump inhibitors (PPI) have decreased the incidence of rebleeding and reduced the need for surgery for bleeding duodenal ulcer (BDU). The gold standard surgical treatment of BDU remains vagotomy-antrectomy. Currently, no recommendation is made on the best procedure when emergency surgery is necessary. The aim of this study was to assess the results of a systematic conservative treatment (CT): under-running bleeding gastroduodenal artery (GDA) and ulcer suture through a duodenotomy with (CT+L group) or without (CT group) GDA double ligation along with continuous intravenous PPI. METHODOLOGY From 1995 to 2006, 22 consecutive patients (11 per group) underwent emergency surgery for BDU. Mean age was 63 +/- 18 years, ASA score 2.64 +/- 0.7. Ten patients (45%) presented collapse. Mean transfusion number was 11 +/- 9, number of therapeutic endoscopies 1.7 +/- 1, and Rockall score 6 +/- 2. RESULTS Overall, 2 patients (9%) had rebleeding and 5 patients (22%) died. No death was reported secondary to rebleeding. In the CT+L group, 9 patients (82%) had intravenous PPI, no patient had rebleeding and 2 patients died (22%). CONCLUSIONS Surgical CT of BDU with continuous PPI is effective, with a low rate of rebleeding. The standard use of vagotomy-antrectomy is questionable.

Abstract
Room temperature sensing of hydrogen using randomly oriented tin oxide nanowires has been demonstrated successfully. The role of surface functionalization of nanowires with platinum catalyst in rapid hydrogen detection is also studied. These nanowires were successfully incorporated into a micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) device. The device can successfully detect hydrogen gas (as low as 500 ppm) with response time as low as 10 sec. Effect of aspect ratio of the nanowires on diffusion of hydrogen molecules in the tin oxide nanowires is elucidated in detail.

Abstract
The endplate zone is assumed to be at about the midpoint of a muscle fiber. This study was designed to locate the middle of the muscle fibers of commonly injected muscles, thus identifying the endplate zone of these muscles. The proximal and distal musculotendinous junctions in muscles of the upper and lower extremities were identified. Orientation of muscle fibers was determined. Measurements using common surface landmarks were used to determine the relationship of these muscles with the landmarks (e.g., biceps muscle bulk extends from the upper fourth to the lower fourth of the humerus). Figures were developed using these measurements so as to be able to extrapolate these measurements to other patients of varying sizes. Illustrations of muscle fiber orientation were done and the assumed location of motor endplate bands marked. Color illustrations will be shown. With the thought that the endplate zone is at the middle of the muscle fiber, this detailed study of muscle fibers helps identify assumed location of motor endplates of specific muscles, thereby improving technique and efficacy of botulinum toxin injections.
