Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prompt detection of childhood uveitis is key to minimising negative impact. From an internationally unique inception cohort, we report pathways to disease detection.UNICORNS is a national childhood non-infectious uveitis study with longitudinal collection of a standardised clinical dataset and patient reported outcomes. Descriptive analysis of baseline characteristics are reported.Amongst 150 recruited children (51% female, 31% non-white ethnicity) age at detection ranged from 2-18yrs (median 10). In 69%, uveitis was diagnosed following onset of symptoms: time from first symptoms to uveitis detection ranged from 0-739days (median 7days), with longer time to detection for those presenting initially to their general practitioner. Non symptomatic children were detected through JIA/other disease surveillance (16%), routine optometry review (5%) or child visual health screening (1%). Commonest underlying diagnoses at uveitis detection were JIA (17%), TINU (9%, higher than pre-pandemic reported UK disease frequency) and sarcoid (1%). 60% had no known systemic disease at uveitis detection. At disease detection, in at least one eye: 34% had structural complications (associated with greater time to detection - 17 days versus 4 days for uncomplicated presentation).The larger relative proportions of children with non-JIA uveitis reported here increase the importance of improving awareness of childhood uveitis amongst the wider clinical communities. There is scope for improvement of pathways to detection. Forthcoming analysis on the full cohort (251 recruited to date across 33 hospitals and 4 nations) will provide nationally representative data on management and the determinants of visual and broader developmental/well-being outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Outcomes and characteristics of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) treated during the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown.
Methods
This was a single-centre observational study of patients undergoing AS treatment with transcatheter (TAVI) or surgical (SAVR) therapy during the first-wave of the UK COVID-19 pandemic compared to a control cohort undergoing treatment in 2019.
Demographics, baseline echocardiogram, CT, procedural characteristics and outcome data were collated. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality. The secondary endpoint was duration of post-procedural hospitalisation.
Results
319 patients were recruited - 122 underwent intervention during the pandemic [73 TAVI; 49 SAVR] and 197 in 2019 [127 TAVI; 70 SAVR].
In 2020, TAVI patients had a higher Euroscore II (p<0.001) but there were no differences in procedural complications or mortality [p=0.16] compared to TAVI 2019 cases. Duration from TAVI to discharge was shorter in 2020 (p<0.001).
SAVR 2020 patients had similar baseline profile [p=0.48], surgical characteristics, mortality (p=0.68) and duration from SAVR to discharge compared to those in 2019.
During the pandemic, TAVI patients were older (p<0.001) and had a higher Euroscore II (p<0.001) than SAVR counterparts. TAVI patients had reduced 30-day mortality [0 (0%) vs 3 (6%); p=0.06] and were discharged more rapidly post-intervention than SAVR patients [median 1 [1] vs 7 [4] days; p<0.001) translating into shorter hospitalization (p<0.001).
Conclusions
TAVI and SAVR can be safely delivered with predictable resource utilisation during a pandemic. Despite the TAVI cohort incorporating higher risk, older patients, outcomes were at least as good as SAVR with a shorter length of post-procedural hospitalisation.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
To develop a model of clinical factors that may predict: (1) technically and clinically successful embolization of a bleeding vessel at Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) for lower gastrointestinal bleed (LGIB); (2) a negative DSA in the presence of positive CT-mesenteric angiography (CTMA) for LGIB.
Method
A retrospective cohort study of all DSAs conducted with intent for embolization for acute LGIB over a 10-year period was undertaken. Pre-procedural and intra-procedural clinical variables were evaluated using uni- and multi-variate analysis.
Results
123 DSAs were evaluated. Technical success was 81% (64/78) with clinical success 78%. Technical success was associated with super-selective approach, contrast extravasation on CT, haemoglobin drop, anatomical source and time from CT to DSA on univariate analysis. On multivariate analysis time from CT to DSA was significant with a higher success probability within 120 minutes with different factors being salient depending on degree of delay. Clinical success was only associated with APTT (<27.5s). Technical failure from a negative DSA following a positive CTMA was associated with anatomical source, haemodynamic stability, platelet count and time from CT to DSA on univariate analysis. The latter three remained so on multivariate analysis.
Conclusions
A triaging approach to utilising emergency DSA may be helpful. If prolonged delay between a positive CT and DSA is anticipated, with haemodynamic stability and a near normal platelet count, the DSA may not be fruitful. Technical success may be more likely if DSA occurs within 120mins. Clinical success may be more likely if APTT is within normal range.

Abstract
This first part of a two-part study examines perceived applications for and barriers to using printed titanium in light of current caseloads, funding pathways, and use of digital planning. It aims to demonstrate the scope for printed titanium in modern practice and to guide industry about the needs of UK surgeons. A cross-sectional study over 14 weeks was performed electronically with support from the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) and a national trainee-led recruitment team. Ethics approval was obtained at the lead centre. A total of 132 participants joined the study (70% consultants, 25% specialty registrars, and 5% other), approximating a 29% response rate from consultant/registrar BAOMS members throughout mainland UK. Eighty-eight per cent used CAD-CAM design, with highly variable funding/access, design/manufacturing workflows (in-house/outsourced). Eighty-eight per cent were involved with trauma, 61% with orthognathic, and 52% with oncology-reconstruction surgery. Favourite applications for printed titanium were orbital floor repair (89%) and free-flap jaw reconstruction (87%). Most participants also cited maxillary/zygomatic osteotomies and cranioplasty (range 61%-73%). Although a popular application (78%), the evidence base in temporomandibular joint surgery is limited. Those performing orthognathic surgery perceived more indications than those who did not (p=0.013). Key barriers included cost, turnaround time and logistics, and the need to be trained in traditional techniques. Printed titanium was useful for both common and niche procedures, but was specifically limited in emergency trauma. Most surgeons had experience in CAD-CAM surgery but technical understanding appeared unclear. Limiting factors included variable funding and production pathways, perceived costs, and logistics, but in-house design can minimise them. In part II, we quantify perceived benefits and limitations and whether surgeons' understanding and knowledge are sufficient to rationalise them.

Abstract
This second part explores perceptions and understanding of clinical performance, turnaround, and costs for printed titanium implants or plates in common procedures, evaluating both 'in-house' and 'outsourced' CAD-CAM pathways. A cross-sectional study, supported by the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) and a national trainee-led recruitment team, was conducted over 14 weeks. A total of 132 participants took part (demographic data is reported in Part I). For fibular-flap mandibular reconstruction, most participants (69% - 91%) perceived printed titanium as superior to intraoperatively or preoperatively hand-bent plates for surgical duration, accuracy, dental restorability, and aesthetics. There was less agreement about complications and plate-failure risks. Most perceived printed plates to be superior to traditional wafer-based maxillary osteotomy for surgical duration (61%) and maxillary positioning (60%). For orbital floor repair, most perceived improvements in surgical duration (83%, especially higher-volume operators p=0.009), precision (84%), and ease of placement (69%). Rarely (less than 5%) was any outcome rated inferior to traditional techniques for any procedure. Perceived turnaround times and costs were variable, but the greatest consensus was for two-segment fibular-flap reconstructions and orbital floor repair. Industry estimates were generally consistent between two company representatives, but manufacturing-only costs differed when using in-house (departmental) designers. Costs and turnaround times are questionable barriers since few understand 'real-world' figures. Designing in-house can dramatically alter costs. Improved accuracy and surgical duration are common themes but biomechanical benefits are less-well understood. This study paints a picture of the potentially routine applications and benefits of printed titanium, capacity for uptake, understanding amongst surgeons, and areas for improvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the impact of preoperative exposure to intravenous contrast for CT and the risk of developing postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS This prospective, multicentre cohort study included adults undergoing gastrointestinal resection, stoma reversal or liver resection. Both elective and emergency procedures were included. Preoperative exposure to intravenous contrast was defined as exposure to contrast administered for the purposes of CT up to 7 days before surgery. The primary endpoint was the rate of AKI within 7 days. Propensity score-matched models were adjusted for patient, disease and operative variables. In a sensitivity analysis, a propensity score-matched model explored the association between preoperative exposure to contrast and AKI in the first 48 h after surgery. RESULTS A total of 5378 patients were included across 173 centres. Overall, 1249 patients (23·2 per cent) received intravenous contrast. The overall rate of AKI within 7 days of surgery was 13·4 per cent (718 of 5378). In the propensity score-matched model, preoperative exposure to contrast was not associated with AKI within 7 days (odds ratio (OR) 0·95, 95 per cent c.i. 0·73 to 1·21; P = 0·669). The sensitivity analysis showed no association between preoperative contrast administration and AKI within 48 h after operation (OR 1·09, 0·84 to 1·41; P = 0·498). CONCLUSION There was no association between preoperative intravenous contrast administered for CT up to 7 days before surgery and postoperative AKI. Risk of contrast-induced nephropathy should not be used as a reason to avoid contrast-enhanced CT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Three-dimensional (3D) printing plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of many elective procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). 3D printers and the associated print materials are now within the price range of most maxillofacial units, requiring less work to be sent out to commercial printers. Whilst their use in the planning of elective procedures is commonplace, acute trauma is an area where 3D printing remains underutilised. The successful management of complex fracture patterns such as concomitant symphyseal/parasymphyseal and bilateral condylar fractures often warrants this approach. METHODS Freeware digital processing and manipulation software packages were used to view and segment structures from computed tomography (CT) data. Thereafter, fractures were digitally reduced. 3D printed models were produced from the digitally reduced models, allowing preoperative custom adaptation of osteosynthesis plates, facilitating accurate fracture fixation intraoperatively. RESULTS For less than one hundred pounds sterling (STG), a 3D printer (with print material) capable of producing a model of sufficient quality can be purchased. The use of freeware digital processing software allows digital manipulation of CT data. Production of 3D models and plate adaptation can be carried out within hours after CT examination. CONCLUSIONS The construction of digitally reduced 3D models and custom adapted plates enables the surgeon to achieve accurate fixation of complex fracture patterns in theatre which is clearly of benefit to patients. The potential for reduced theatre time also renders this approach more desirable, making this a worthwhile investment despite the additional non-clinical time associated with training and initial expenditure.

The severely distorting channels limit the use of linear equalizers and the use of the nonlinear equalizers then becomes justifiable. Neural-network-based equalizers, especially the multilayer perceptron (MLP)-based equalizers, are computationally efficient alternative to currently used nonlinear filter realizations, e.g., the Volterra type. The drawback of the MLP-based equalizers is, however, their slow rate of convergence, which limit their use in practical systems. In this work, the effect of whitening the input data in a multilayer perceptron-based decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is evaluated. It is shown from computer simulations that whitening the received data employing adaptive lattice channel equalization algorithms improves the convergence rate and bit error rate performances of multilayer perceptron-based DFE. The adaptive lattice algorithm is a modification to the one developed by Ling and Proakis (1985). The consistency in performance is observed in both time-invariant and time-varying channels. Finally, it is found in this work that, for time-invariant channels, the MLP DFE outperforms the least mean squares (LMS)-based DFE. However, for time-varying channels comparable performance is obtained for the two configurations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialisation (THD) is a nonexcisional surgical technique for the treatment of piles, consisting in the ligation of the distal branches of the superior rectal artery, resulting in a reduction of blood flow and decongestion of the haemorrhoidal plexus. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term efficacy of this treatment. METHODS The procedure was carried out using a proctoscope with a Doppler probe. The terminal branches were located with Doppler and then sutured. RESULTS From January 2000 to May 2006, we performed THD in 330 patients (180 men; mean age, 52.4 years), including 138 second-degree, 162 third-degree and 30 fourth-degree haemorrhoids. There were 23 postoperative complications (7 cases of bleeding, 5 thrombosed piles, 4 rectal haematomas, 2 anal fissures, 2 cases of dysuria, 1 of haematuria and 2 needle ruptures). The mean postoperative pain score was 1.32 on a visual analog scale. 219 patients were followed for a mean of 46 months (range, 22-79), including 100 patients with second-degree, 104 with third-degree and 15 with fourth-degree haemorrhoids. The operation completely resolved the symptoms in 132 patients (92.5%) with preoperative bleeding and in 110 patients (92%) with preoperative prolapse. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy and relapse rate of this procedure appears to be similar to that of traditional surgery and stapled haemorrhoidopexy. The technique was effective and safe for all degrees of haemorrhoids because of the excellent results, low complication rate and minor postoperative pain.

Abstract
Differential cross sections for the reaction gamma p --> eta' p have been measured with the CLAS spectrometer and a tagged photon beam with energies from 1.527 to 2.227 GeV. The results reported here possess much greater accuracy than previous measurements. Analyses of these data suggest for the first time the coupling of the eta'N channel to both the S11(1535) and P11(1710) resonances, known to couple strongly to the etaN channel in photoproduction on the proton, and the importance of J = 3/2 resonances in the process.

Abstract
Beam-helicity asymmetries for the two-pion-photoproduction reaction gammap-->ppi(+)pi(-) have been studied for the first time in the resonance region for center-of-mass energies between 1.35 and 2.30 GeV. The experiment was performed at Jefferson Lab with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer using circularly polarized tagged photons incident on an unpolarized hydrogen target. Beam-helicity-dependent angular distributions of the final-state particles were measured. The large cross-section asymmetries exhibit strong sensitivity to the kinematics and dynamics of the reaction. The data are compared with the results of various phenomenological model calculations, and show that these models currently do not provide an adequate description for the behavior of this new observable.

Abstract
We report on the first determination of upper limits on the branching ratio (BR) of eta decay to pi0pi0gamma and to pi0pi0pi0gamma. Both decay modes are strictly forbidden by charge conjugation (C) invariance. Using the Crystal Ball multiphoton detector, we obtained BR(eta-->pi0pi0gamma)<5 x 10(-4) at the 90% confidence level, in support of C invariance of isoscalar electromagnetic interactions of the light quarks. We have also measured BR(eta-->pi0pi0pi0gamma)<6 x 10(-5) at the 90% confidence level, in support of C invariance of isovector electromagnetic interactions.

Abstract
We have measured the 3He(e,e'pp)n reaction at 2.2 GeV over a wide kinematic range. The kinetic energy distribution for "fast" nucleons (p>250 MeV/c) peaks where two nucleons each have 20% or less, and the third nucleon has most of the transferred energy. These fast pp and pn pairs are back to back with little momentum along the three-momentum transfer, indicating that they are spectators. Calculations by Sargsian and by Laget also indicate that we have measured distorted two-nucleon momentum distributions by striking one nucleon and detecting the spectator correlated pair.

Abstract
The reaction gamma p-->pi(+)K(-)K(+)n was studied at Jefferson Laboratory using a tagged photon beam with an energy range of 3-5.47 GeV. A narrow baryon state with strangeness S=+1 and mass M=1555+/-10 MeV/c(2) was observed in the nK(+) invariant mass spectrum. The peak's width is consistent with the CLAS resolution (FWHM=26 MeV/c(2)), and its statistical significance is (7.8+/-1.0)sigma. A baryon with positive strangeness has exotic structure and cannot be described in the framework of the naive constituent quark model. The mass of the observed state is consistent with the mass predicted by the chiral soliton model for the Theta(+) baryon. In addition, the pK(+) invariant mass distribution was analyzed in the reaction gamma p-->K(-)K(+)p with high statistics in search of doubly charged exotic baryon states. No resonance structures were found in this spectrum.

Abstract
Data are presented for the reaction pi(-)p-->pi(0)pi(0)n in the range from threshold to p(pi(-))=750 MeV/c. The systematics of the data and multipole analyses are examined for sensitivity to a f(0)(600) ("sigma") meson. A one-pion-exchange mechanism is found to be very weak, or absent. The reaction appears to become dominated by sequential pi(0) decays through the Delta(1232) resonance as the beam momentum increases, along with substantial interference effects from several competing mechanisms.

Abstract
The cross section for the reaction ep-->e(')ppi(+)pi(-) was measured in the resonance region for 1.4<W<2.1 GeV and 0.5<Q2<1.5 GeV(2)/c(2) using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. The data show resonant structures not visible in previous experiments. The comparison of our data to a phenomenological prediction using available information on N(*) and Delta states shows an evident discrepancy. A better description of the data is obtained either by a sizable change of the properties of the P13(1720) resonance or by introducing a new baryon state, not reported in published analyses.

Abstract
The differential cross section, dsigma/dt, for omega meson exclusive photoproduction on the proton above the resonance region (2.6<W<2.9 GeV) was measured up to a momentum transfer -t=5 GeV2 using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. The omega channel was identified by detecting a proton and pi(+) in the final state and using the missing mass technique. While the low momentum transfer region shows the typical diffractive pattern expected from Pomeron and Reggeon exchange, at large -t the differential cross section has a flat behavior. This feature can be explained by introducing quark interchange processes in addition to the QCD-inspired two-gluon exchange.

Abstract
Differential cross sections for gammap-->etap have been measured with tagged real photons for incident photon energies from 0.75 to 1.95 GeV. Mesons were identified by missing mass reconstruction using kinematical information for protons scattered in the production process. The data provide the first extensive angular distribution measurements for the process above W=1.75 GeV. Comparison with preliminary results from a constituent quark model support the suggestion that a third S11 resonance with mass approximately 1.8 GeV couples to the etaN channel.

Abstract
The double spin asymmetry in the (-->)e(-->)p --> e(prime)pi(+)n reaction has been measured for the first time in the resonance region for four-momentum transfer Q2 = 0.35-1.5 GeV(2). Data were taken at Jefferson Lab with the CLAS detector using a 2.6 GeV polarized electron beam incident on a polarized solid NH3 target. Comparison with predictions of phenomenological models shows strong sensitivity to resonance contributions. Helicity-1/2 transitions are found to be dominant in the second and third resonance regions. The measured asymmetry is consistent with a faster rise with Q(2) of the helicity asymmetry A1 for the F(15)(1680) resonance than expected from the analysis of the unpolarized data.

Abstract
Recently the Crystal Ball Collaboration measured precise new data for the near-threshold reaction K(-)p-->etaLambda, which is dominated by formation of the Lambda(1670)1 / 2(-). In this Letter, we present results of a unitary, multichannel analysis that incorporates the new Crystal Ball data. For our preferred fit, we obtain mass M = 1673+/-2 MeV, width Gamma = 23+/-6 MeV, and elasticity x = 0.37+/-0.07. This elasticity is significantly larger than previously recognized. Resonance parameters of our preferred fit are in striking agreement with the quark-model predictions of Koniuk and Isgur.

Abstract
We have determined the quadratic slope parameter alpha for eta-->3pi(0) to be alpha = -0.031(4) from a 99% pure sample of 10(6)eta-->3pi(0) decays produced in the reaction pi(-)p-->n(eta) close to the eta threshold using the Crystal Ball detector at the AGS. The result is four times more precise than the present world data and disagrees with current chiral perturbation theory calculations by about four standard deviations.

Abstract
The differential cross section, d sigma/dt, for rho(0) meson photoproduction on the proton above the resonance region was measured up to a momentum transfer -t = 5 GeV2 using the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The rho(0) channel was extracted from the measured two charged-pion cross sections by fitting the pi(+)pi(-) and p pi(+) invariant masses. The low momentum transfer region shows the typical diffractive pattern expected from Reggeon exchange. The flatter behavior at large -t cannot be explained solely in terms of QCD-inspired two-gluon exchange models. The data indicate that other processes, like quark interchange, are important to fully describe rho photoproduction.

Abstract
New cross sections for the reaction e p-->e p eta are reported for total center of mass energy W = 1.5--1.86 GeV and invariant momentum transfer Q2 = 0.25--1.5 (GeV/c)(2). This large kinematic range allows extraction of important new information about response functions, photocouplings, and eta N coupling strengths of baryon resonances. Newly observed structure at W approximately 1.65 GeV is shown to come from interference between S and P waves and can be interpreted with known resonances. Improved values are derived for the photon coupling amplitude for the S11(1535) resonance.

Abstract
We report on an investigation of the (pi(-),pi(0)pi(0)) reaction by means of measurements of the pi(0)pi(0) invariant mass distributions from pi(-) interactions on H, D, C, Al, and Cu targets at p(pi(-)) = 0.408 GeV/c. The sharp, strong peak in the pi(+)pi(-) invariant mass near 2m(pi) reported by the CHAOS Collaboration is not seen in our pi(0)pi(0) data. However, we do observe a change in the shape of the pi(0)pi(0) invariant mass spectrum for the different targets, indicating that the pi(0)pi(0) interaction diminishes in the nuclear medium as represented by nuclei D, C, Al, and Cu, compared to hydrogen.

Abstract
A prospective consecutive study of 252 adult patients presenting to Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments was performed to assess any advantage of the Ottawa vs. local guidelines for radiography of the acutely injured ankle or midfoot. All patients taking part in the study underwent an ankle or midfoot radiograph. A comparison was made to determine whether a safe reduction in radiography could be produced by following the Ottawa criteria. Simultaneously, the accuracy of both guidelines were assessed. Twenty-two fractures were diagnosed radiologically. Both guidelines had a sensitivity of 1.0 in detecting fractures and a negative predictive value of 1.0. Ottawa guidelines produced a specificity of 0.48 and a positive predictive value of 0.15. Local guidelines produced a specificity of 0.19 and a positive predictive value of 0.1. Following Ottawa guidelines produced a highly significant reduction (X = 74.0 P < 0.001) in radiography of 37%, and no fractures were missed. This could potentially save the department approximately 7500 Pounds per annum.

Abstract
The present work has been done in an attempt to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of Chlorpropamide in the presence of aspirin. Diabetiogenic effect of Alloxan was utilized which produced an Insulin-Dependent Diabetic State in the animals. Diabetic animals were given oral Chlorpropamide (100 mg/kg body weight) and it was seen that the drug reduced the blood sugar values although not to a significant level. Later the animals were given aspirin (30 mg/kg body weight) alongwith the daily dose of Chlorpropamide and a more significant reduction of blood sugar level took place.
