Abstract
Winter application of manure poses environmental risks. Seven continuous corn, instrumented watersheds (approximately 1 ha each) at the USDA-ARS North Appalachian Experimental Watershed research station near Coshocton, Ohio were used to evaluate the environmental impacts of winter manure application when using some of the Ohio Natural Resources Conservation Service recommendations. For 3 yr on frozen, sometimes snow-covered, ground in January or February, two watersheds received turkey litter, two received liquid swine manure, and three were control plots that received N fertilizer at planting (not manure). Manure was applied at an N rate for corn; the target level was 180 kg N ha(-1) with a 30-m setback from the application area to the bottom of each watershed. Four grassed plots (61 x 12 m) were used for beef slurry application (9.1 Mg ha(-1) wet weight); two plots had 61 x 12 m grassed filter areas below them, and two plots had 30 x 12 m filter areas. There were two control plots. Nutrient concentrations were sometimes high, especially in runoff soon after application. However, most events with high concentrations occurred with low flow volumes; therefore, transport was minimal. Applying manure at the N rate for crop needs resulted in excess application of P. Elevated P losses contributed to a greater potential of detrimental environmental impacts with P than with N. Filter strips reduced nutrient concentrations and transport, but the data were too limited to compare the effectiveness of the 30- and 61-m filter strips. Winter application of manure is not ideal, but by following prescribed guidelines, detrimental environmental impacts can be reduced.

Abstract
We apply a new Bayesian data analysis technique (latent process decomposition) to four recent microarray datasets for breast cancer. Compared to hierarchical cluster analysis, for example, this technique has advantages such as objective assessment of the optimal number of sample or gene clusters in the data, penalization of overcomplex models fitting to noise in the data and a common latent space of explanatory variables for samples and genes. Our analysis provides a clearer insight into these datasets, enabling assignment of patients to one of four principal processes, each with a distinct clinical outcome. One process is indolent and associated with under-expression across a number of genes associated with tumour growth. One process is associated with over expression of GRB7 and ERBB2. The most aggressive process is associated with abnormal expression of transcription factor genes, including members of the FOX family of transcription factor genes.

Abstract
5022 Background: Radiotherapy (RT) is an alternative to radical cystectomy in the management of muscle invasive bladder cancer. Limitations are probability of attaining and maintaining local tumour control and risk of late bladder toxicity. BC2001 tests whether concomitant chemotherapy (CT) improves loco-regional control and whether RT volume modification reduces late toxicity without detriment to tumour control. Methods: Pts were randomized in a 2x2 factorial design to (i) RT vs RT + concomitant CT (5FU 500mg/m2 d1–5 wks 1 & 4 + mitomycin C 12mg/m2 d1) and/or (ii) standard RT to tumour and whole bladder with 1.5cm margin (sRT) vs reduced volume RT (rvRT) where tumour + 1.5cm margin was treated to 100(±5)% target dose and remaining bladder received 80% target dose. RT dose was 55Gy/20F or 64Gy/32F according to local practice. RT volume comparison results (primary endpoint RTOG toxicity at 1 yr) are reported. Target sample size was 480 pts but the RT randomisation closed early due to slow recruitment. Estimated power is 73% (two-sided α = 0.05) to detect a 20% difference in G3/4 toxicity. Results: 219 pts were recruited (108 sRT; 111 rvRT); 49 received neoadjuvant CT; 31 sRT and 33 rvRT were randomised to concomitant CT. Median age was 74 yrs. Median follow up is 36 mths. There was no difference in loco-regional disease-free survival (LRDFS: HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.62–1.84) nor overall survival (HR = 0.99, (0.61 - 1.35)) between randomised RT groups. 2yr LRDFS is 71% in both RT groups. 27 (16) sRT vs 32 (15) rvRT pts have had local (invasive) recurrences (p = 0.09); 32 pts have undergone salvage cystectomy. No difference was seen in CTC G3/4 acute toxicity (26% sRT vs 21% rvRT, p = 0.35), RTOG G3/4 toxicity at 12 mths (8% sRT vs 4% rvRT, p = 0.27) nor Lent Som G3/4 toxicity at 12 mths (45% sRT vs 34% rvRT, p = 0.21). Bladder capacity fell significantly in sRT group (mean reduction at 12 mths: 59mls, 95%CI: 47–118mls, p = 0.02) but not in rvRT group. Conclusions: RT in the modern era can attain local control in most patients with T2-T3 bladder cancer. Acute and late toxicity was less than anticipated in both treatment groups. Modifying standard RT volumes had minimal effect on local control and toxicity in this trial. 2 yr toxicity and quality of life data will be presented. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the clinical validity of a nurse practitioner emergency department-based service for investigating outpatients with suspected deep vein thrombosis. METHODS A prospective management study was undertaken to investigate the safety of withholding anticoagulant treatment in patients who were negative for testing after application of an evidence-based protocol. The protocol involved a nurse assessment using the Wells pretest score followed by investigations tailored to the risk category (variable combinations of strain gauge plethysmography, D-dimer and ultrasound). The main outcome assessed was the venothromboembolic complication rate in patients deemed to have deep vein thrombosis excluded by the protocol. RESULTS A total of 625 consecutive patients were evaluated between March 2003 and January 2007. Of these, 435 were eligible and 190 were ineligible. Four patients in the negative cohort were confirmed to have venous thromboembolism on follow-up. The incidence of venous thromboembolism in the 6-month follow-up period was therefore 1.04% (95% CI 0.41% to 2.65%). CONCLUSION The evidence-based protocol used in this study can reliably exclude deep vein thrombosis in an outpatient population when applied as part of a nurse-based evaluation.

Abstract
This prospective longitudinal multicenter study of ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) examined changes in outcome tool score over time, tool responsiveness, and used a systematic method for defining minimum clinically important differences (MCIDs). Three hundred and eighty-one participants with CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] Levels I-III; age range 4-18y, mean age 11y [SD 4y 4mo]; 265 diplegia, 116 hemiplegia; 230 males, 151 females). At baseline and follow-up at least 1 year later, Functional Assessment Questionnaire, Gross Motor Function Measure, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument, Pediatric Functional Independence Measure, temporal-spatial gait parameters, and oxygen cost were collected. Adjusted standardized response means determined tool responsiveness for nonsurgical (n=292) and surgical (n=87) groups at GMFCS Levels I to III. Most scores reaching medium or large effect sizes were for GMFCS Level III. Nonsurgical group change scores were used to calculate MCID thresholds for ambulatory children with CP. These values were verified by examining participants who changed GMFCS levels. Tools measuring function were responsive when a change large enough to cause a change in GMFCS level occurred. MCID thresholds assess change in study populations over time, and serve as the basis for designing prospective intervention studies.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common disease. Severe AD has a significant effect on quality of life and is difficult to treat. We have previously reported 10 patients treated with azathioprine over a 7-year period, to good effect. We have now treated 37 patients over 18 years, and report our findings. The aim of the study was to review the efficacy and safety of azathioprine as a long-term treatment for severe atopic eczema. Patients who began treatment between 1987 and 2005 were identified. The dose and number of courses of azathioprine, duration of treatment, treatment response, and adverse events were recorded up to June 2006. In total, 37 patients were treated with azathioprine. Of these, 15 (40.5%) achieved remission in a median period of 5 months (range 4-29). Nine patients had an initial good response but either did not have sufficient clearance to be able to stop azathioprine, or deteriorated while on treatment over a period of 4-27 months; these were considered late failures. One patient showed no response, and five experienced reactions leading to withdrawal of the drug. Our experience with azathioprine for the treatment of severe atopic eczema, is very encouraging.
