Abstract
PURPOSE The Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) is a national network focused on accelerating the translation of cancer prevention and control research evidence into practice through collaborative, multicenter projects in partnership with diverse communities. From 2003 to 2022, the CPCRN included 613 members. METHODS We: (1) characterize the extent and nature of collaborations through a bibliometric analysis of 20 years of Network publications; and (2) describe key features and functions of the CPCRN as related to organizational structure, productivity, impact, and focus on health equity, partnership development, and capacity building through analysis of 22 in-depth interviews and review of Network documentation. RESULTS Searching Scopus for multicenter publications among the CPCRN members from their time of Network engagement yielded 1,074 collaborative publications involving two or more members. Both the overall number and content breadth of multicenter publications increased over time as the Network matured. Since 2004, members submitted 123 multicenter grant applications, of which 72 were funded (59%), totaling more than $77 million secured. Thematic analysis of interviews revealed that the CPCRN's success-in terms of publication and grant productivity, as well as the breadth and depth of partnerships, subject matter expertise, and content area foci-is attributable to: (1) its people-the inclusion of members representing diverse content-area interests, multidisciplinary perspectives, and geographic contexts; (2) dedicated centralized structures and processes to enable and evaluate collaboration; and (3) focused attention to strategically adapting to change. CONCLUSION CPCRN's history highlights organizational, strategic, and practical lessons learned over two decades to optimize Network collaboration for enhanced collective impact in cancer prevention and control. These insights may be useful to others seeking to leverage collaborative networks to address public health problems.

Abstract
Genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF or BAF ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex are among the most enriched for deleterious de novo mutations in intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder, but the causative molecular pathways are not fully known 1,2 . Synaptic activity in neurons is critical for learning and memory and proper neural development 3 . Neural activity prompts calcium influx and transcription within minutes, facilitated in the nucleus by various transcription factors (TFs) and chromatin modifiers 4 . While BAF is required for activity-dependent developmental processes such as dendritic outgrowth 5-7 , the immediate molecular consequences of neural activity on BAF complexes and their functions are unknown. Here we mapped minute-scale biochemical consequences of neural activity, modeled by membrane depolarization of embryonic mouse primary cortical neurons, on BAF complexes. We used acute chemical perturbations of BAF ATPase activity and kinase signaling to define the activity-dependent effects on BAF complexes and activity-dependent BAF functions. Our studies found that BAF complexes change in subunit composition and are selectively phosphorylated within 10 minutes of depolarization. Increased levels of the core PBAF subunit Baf200/ Arid2 , uniquely containing an RFX-like DNA-binding domain, are concurrent with ATPase-dependent opening of chromatin at RFX/X-box motifs. Changes in BAF composition and phosphorylation lead to the regulation of chromatin accessibility for critical neurogenesis TFs. These biochemical effects are a convergent phenomenon downstream of multiple growth factor signaling pathways in mouse neurons and fibroblasts suggesting that BAF integrates signaling information from the membrane. In support of such a membrane-to-nucleus signaling cascade, we also identified a BAF-interacting kinase, Dclk2, whose inhibition attenuates BAF phosphorylation selectively. Our findings support a direct role of BAF complexes in responding to synaptic activity to regulate TF binding and transcription.

Abstract
Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is a non-invasive method to evaluate coronary artery anatomy and disease. CTCA is ideal for geometry reconstruction to create virtual models of coronary arteries. To our knowledge there is no public dataset that includes centrelines and segmentation of the full coronary tree. We provide anonymized CTCA images, voxel-wise annotations and associated data in the form of centrelines, calcification scores and meshes of the coronary lumen in 20 normal and 20 diseased cases. Images were obtained along with patient information with informed, written consent as part of the Coronary Atlas. Cases were classified as normal (zero calcium score with no signs of stenosis) or diseased (confirmed coronary artery disease). Manual voxel-wise segmentations by three experts were combined using majority voting to generate the final annotations. Provided data can be used for a variety of research purposes, such as 3D printing patient-specific models, development and validation of segmentation algorithms, education and training of medical personnel and in-silico analyses such as testing of medical devices.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: Though often categorized together, All Star and school cheerleading are vastly different in concussion risk due to competitiveness and skill difficulty. The purpose of the current study was to compare concussion rate and recovery in school and All Star cheerleaders diagnosed with sports-related concussions (SRC). Methods: This study was a retrospective comparison of cheerleaders (aged 8–18 years) who were evaluated in a specialty concussion clinic and diagnosed with SRC from 2020–2022. A total of 64 female cheerleaders were included (33 school and 31 All Star). We compared days to clinic, prior history of concussion, Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) total score, symptom provocation on the Vestibular Ocular Motor Screen, and recovery time in days for each group. Results: Reports of at least one prior concussion were higher in All Star cheerleaders (61%) compared to school cheerleaders (39%). Initial evaluation occurred an average of 4.0 ± 5.8 days post injury for All Star cheerleaders, with recovery occurring in 23.6 ± 17.4 days compared to school cheerleaders who were evaluated for initial evaluation an average of 4.2 ± 4.3 days post injury and recovered in 27.6 ± 19.7 days (P > 0.05). All Star cheerleaders experienced greater symptom provocation (P = 0.05) on horizontal vestibular-ocular reflex compared to school cheerleaders. There was no difference in symptom reporting on the PCSS (P = 0.23). Conclusions: Higher rates of prior concussion were reported in All Star cheerleaders. This may be a function of the more difficult skills being performed. Future research should investigate the impact of skill level and mechanism of injury on SRCs in All Star Cheerleading.

Abstract
Abstract
This case illustrates an athletic 22-year-old, who presented to the hospital with a 3-week history of spontaneous right arm ache, discolouration and swelling. His blood tests were normal, with a negative D-dimer (<150ng/ml). He underwent a CT venogram for suspicion of venous obstruction which was unremarkable. However due to a high clinical suspicion, an ultrasound doppler was performed. This identified the presence of axillary-subclavian thrombosis which in conjunction with other clinical and radiological parameters confirmed the diagnosis of Paget-Schroetter Syndrome (PSS). Our patient was commenced on anticoagulation as the venous obstruction was suspected to be sub-acute with clinical suggestion of collateral formation. Unfortunately, his symptoms failed to resolve over a 6-month period, and he underwent an elective right rib resection with right subclavian bypass using the great saphenous vein with good outcome post-operatively.
PSS is a rare manifestation of venous thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) commonly seen in young, healthy, athletic individuals. Despite the high effectiveness of D-Dimers in ruling out acute thrombotic process and the accuracy of dedicated CT angiography in excluding vascular thrombotic events, both tests proved inconclusive in this particular case. This latter observation highlights the importance of the clinical context, and risk profiling in guiding results interpretation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of disease burden globally. With advancements in medical and surgical care more people are surviving initial acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and are in need of secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Increasing availability of high quality individual-level data linkage provides robust estimates of outcomes long-term.
Purpose
To compare 3 year outcomes amongst ACS survivors who did and did not participate in Australian CR programs.
Methods
SNAPSHOT ACS follow-up study included 1806 patients admitted to 232 hospitals who were followed-up by data linkage (cross-jurisdictional morbidity, national death index, Pharmaceutical Benefit Schedule) at 6 and 36 months to compare those who did/not attend CR.
Results
In total, the cohort had a mean age of 65.8 (13.4) years, 60% were male, only 25% (461/1806) attended CR. During index admission, attendees were more likely to have had PCI (39% v 14%, p<0.001), CABG (11% v 2%, p<0.001) and a diagnosis of STEMI (21% v 5%, p<0.001) than those who did not attend. However, there was no significant difference between CR attendees/non-attendees for risk factors (LDL-cholesterol, smoking, obesity). Only 19% of eligible women attended CR compared to 30% of men (p<0.001). At 36 months, there were fewer deaths amongst CR attendees (19/461, 4.1%) than non-attendees (116/1345, 8.6%) (p=0.001). CR attendees were more likely to have repeat ACS, PCI, CABG at both 6 and 36 months (Table). At 36 months, CR attendees were more likely to have been prescribed antiplatelets (78% v 53%, p<0.001), statins (91% 73%, p<0.001), beta-blockers (11% v 13%, p=0.002) and ACEI/ARBs (72% v 61%, p<0.001) than non-attendees.
Conclusions
Amongst Australian ACS survivors, participation in CR was associated with less likelihood of death and increased prescription of pharmacotherapy. However, attendance at CR was associated with higher rates of repeat ACS and revascularisation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although socioeconomic status (SES) has been reported to be associated with health inequities, there are limited studies exploring the association between SES and secondary prevention of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in countries with universal health cover.
Purpose
The aim is to examine whether SES has an impact on the secondary prevention of ACS in Australia.
Methods
Australian SNAPSHOT ACS data (2012) and its 18-month follow-up data were linked to admissions data from 6 jurisdictions covering all states and territories, national death index and Medicare Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data covering up to 3 years post-discharge. The five SES groups (lowest in Group 1 and highest in Group 5) were derived from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) using the residential postcode at baseline. Outcomes were cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation and smoking rate at 18 months post discharge as well as the use of ≥3 of the 4 indicated medications, all-cause death and cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates by 36 months of discharge. Outcomes were compared between the groups using the multilevel logistic regression with covariates of SES (5 groups), sex, GRACE risk score (4 groups), ACS diagnosis (STEMI/NSTEMI/UA) and the jurisdictions where the admissions data were linked.
Results
Of 1655 patients with ACS (mean age 68±13.5 yrs, 65% were male), who were discharged from hospital alive and had linked data available, 353 (21%) were in SES Group 1 (lowest SES), 369 (22%) in Group 2, 382 (23%) in Group 3, 296 (18%) in Group 4 and 255 (15%) in Group 5 (highest SES). Baseline clinical characteristics were comparable across the five SES groups. At 18-month after discharge, 1014 (61%) patients were followed-up with comparable loss to follow-up in each group. After adjustment, fewer patients in the lower SES groups (Groups 1 and 2) had participated in CR than those in the highest SES group (Group 5) (OR (95% CI): 0.60 (0.36, 0.99) and 0.56 (0.35, 0.91), respectively). Moreover, the odds of smoking was greater in Group 3 than Group 5 (2.60 (1.15, 5.89)) but no trend was found across the groups. By 36 months of discharge after adjustment, there was no difference in the odds of using ≥3 out of 4 medications between the SES groups. Despite this, patients in Groups 1 and 2 were significantly more likely to die than those in the highest SES group (1.96 (1.19, 3.21) and 1.91 (1.19, 3.07), respectively). The odds of CVD readmission did not differ across SES groups.
Conclusion
This study suggests that patients with low SES were less likely to participate in CR programs and more likely to die than those with high SES. Smoking rates varied between patients with intermediate and high SES but no trend was found across the groups. Despite the universal health cover available, inequity between the SES groups still exist. Future research is needed to further explore strategies to help close the evidence-practice gaps.

Abstract
The Sterne live spore vaccine (SLSV, Bacillus anthracis strain 34F2) is the veterinary vaccine of choice against anthrax though contra-indicated for use with antimicrobials. However, the use of non-living anthrax vaccine (NLAV) candidates can overcome the SLSV limitation. In this study, cattle were vaccinated with either of the NLAV (purified recombinant PA (PrPA) or crude rPA (CrPA) and formaldehyde-inactivated spores (FIS of B. anthracis strain 34F2) and emulsigen-D®/alhydrogel® adjuvants) or SLSV. The immunogenicity of the NLAV and SLSV was assessed and the protective efficacies evaluated using a passive immunization mouse model. Polyclonal IgG (including the IgG1 subset) and IgM responses increased significantly across all vaccination groups after the first vaccination. Individual IgG subsets titres peaked significantly with all vaccines used after the second vaccination at week 5 and remained significant at week 12 when compared to week 0. The toxin neutralization (TNA) titres of the NLAV vaccinated cattle groups showed similar trends to those observed with the ELISA titres, except that the former were lower, but still significant, when compared to week 0. The opsonophagocytic assay indicated good antibody opsonizing responses with 75% (PrPA+FIS), 66% (CrPA+FIS) and 80% (SLSV) phagocytosis following spores opsonization. In the passive protection test, A/J mice transfused with purified IgG from cattle vaccinated with PrPA+FIS+Emulsigen-D®/Alhydrogel® and SLSV had 73% and 75% protection from challenge with B. anthracis strain 34F2 spores, respectively, whereas IgG from cattle vaccinated with CrPA+FIS+Emulsigen-D®/Alhydrogel® offered insignificant protection of 20%. There was no difference in protective immune response in cattle vaccinated twice with either the PrPA+FIS or SLSV. Moreover, PrPA+FIS did not show any residual side effects in vaccinated cattle. These results suggest that the immunogenicity and protective efficacy induced by the NLAV (PrPA+FIS) in the cattle and passive mouse protection test, respectively, are comparable to that induced by the standard SLSV.

Background/Introduction: The increasing number of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections has led to increased interest in the identification of patients who may benefit from additional infection prevention measures.
Purpose
The purpose of this evaluation was to validate the predictive value of the Prevention of Arrhythmia Device Infection Trial (PADIT) risk score to identify patients at increased risk of CIED infection using a U.S. health claims data set.
Methods
A retrospective analysis using the Optum® Clinformatics® claims database was conducted to create a dataset of index procedures which either did or did not result in an infection. The study population included both commercial and Medicare Advantage patients aged ≥18 years with at least one record of a CIED procedure between January 2011 and September 2014. Major CIED infections, defined as an infection associated with system removal, invasive procedure without system removal, or death attributable to infection, were identified through diagnosis and procedure codes. The dataset was randomized (stratified by PADIT score, which included prior procedures, age, depressed renal function, immunocompromised, and procedure type) into a Development Dataset (60%) and a Validation dataset (40%). A frailty model allowing multiple procedures per patient was fit using the Development Dataset, with PADIT score as the only predictor, excluding patients with prior infection. Prior CIED infection, which was not available in the original PADIT data, was examined for additional predictive value.
Results
The data extraction resulted in a dataset of 53,554 index procedures among 51,583 patients, with 30,950 patients randomized to the Development Dataset. The distribution of procedures was pacemakers (52%), ICD (20%), CRT (12%), and Revision/Upgrade (16%), while prior procedures were none (62%), 1 (37%), and 2 (1%). Among patients with no history of prior CIED infection, the frailty model showed that a 1 unit increase in the PADIT score predicts higher infection risk (20%) in the U.S. claims data set (Table 1). Prior CIED infection was associated with strong additional predictive value (HR 4.77, p < 0.0001) after adjusting for PADIT score.
Conclusion
In the largest external validation of a CIED risk score, the PADIT risk score predicts increased CIED infection risk, identifying higher risk patients that can benefit from targeted interventions to reduce the risk of CIED infection. Prior CIED infection brings additional predictive value to the PADIT score.

Abstract
Ensuring high levels of welfare is imperative for modern zoos, but such organisations must also engage visitors in order to successfully spread awareness and raise conservation funds. It is therefore important to understand the responses of animals to visitor interaction to optimise welfare. Often, the opportunity to interact with humans may be enriching for animals, but in other contexts, this interaction may have negative welfare effects. We observed captive female Galápagos giant tortoises (Chelonoidis nigra) to describe aggressive interactions, characterize hierarchy using Elo ratings and assess the impact of visitor interactions. Elo ratings indicated that one individual was dominant over two equally ranked subordinates; aggressive interactions are discussed in this context. We detected significant effects of the presence of visitors and visitor type (keepers, vets or public) within the enclosure on aggression and activity. We suggest that previous miscategorisation of a natural behaviour (the finch response) as an operantly conditioned behaviour, rather than a fixed action pattern, may have triggered aggression. We then document changes made to the management of the animals to mitigate the impacts discovered. This work highlights the importance of empirical evidence in determining optimal management strategies for zoo animals with regards to public interactions and animal welfare.

Abstract
Abstract
Eleven laboratories collaboratively studied a liquid chromatographic (LC) method for determination of D-malic acid in apple juice. The mobile phase consisted of 16 mM L-valine and 8 mM copper acetate adjusted to pH 5.5 with NaOH. The UV detector was set at 330 nm, and a single reversed-phase LC column was used. Seven paired samples containing various amounts of D-malic acid ranging from 0 to 188 mg/100 mL of 12 Brix pasteurized apple juice were tested by each collaborator. Repeatability and reproducibility coefficients of variation ranged from 1.0 to 3.5% and 7.7 to 11.7%, respectively, within the range of 26 to 188 mg D-malic acid/100 mL of 12 Brix apple juice. The collabora tive study results demonstrated that the method could quantitate the economic adulteration of ap ple juice with DL-malic acid at lower levels than those reported with previous methods. The LC method for determination of D-malic acid in apple juice has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract
A collaborative study was conducted on a liquid chromatographic (LC) method for determination of taurine in infant formula and milk powders. Twenty laboratories participated in the analysis of 8 blind duplicates over the range of approximately 3–60 mg/100 g sample. The method involved protein removal, conversion to the dansyl-derivative, and isocratic LC separation with UV and/or fluorescence detection. Following outlier treatment, overall mean RSDR has been estimated at 7.00% for sup. plemented products with a HORRAT value of 1.1. The poorer precision at endogenous levels establishes a lower limit of determination of about 5 mg/100 g. An overall mean RSDr:RSDR value of 0.7 for all products demonstrated acceptable performance.

Abstract
Abstract
The McCleary enzymatic assay for mixed linkage (1→3)(1→4)-beta-D-glucans has been modified to apply to oat and barley fractions and ready-to-eat (RTE) cereals. The proposed method involves lower sample concentrations; stirring the samples; a longer, warmer lichenase digestion; and longer beta-glucosidase digestion. These changes result in higher recovery of beta-glucan. This modification expands on the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) Method 32-22 by the addition of a desugaring procedure, which is necessary for RTE cereals. Results from collaborative studies sponsored by AACC and AOAC demonstrate good precision for an enzymatic assay. The average relative standard deviation for reproducibility (RSDR, a measure of inter laboratory variation) for 20 oat, barley, and cereal samples was 9.7%. The average RSD for repeatability (RSDr, intralaboratory variation) was 5.0%. The enzymatic method has been adopted first action by AOAC International for determination of beta-glucans in oat and barley fractions, and ready-to-eat cereals.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Trastuzumab is highly effective in the treatment of breast cancer, and is often used as an adjuvant therapy. Due to its potential cardiotoxicity, serial monitoring of cardiac function is vital. Ejection fraction (EF) by two-dimensional echocardiography is routinely used but has limitations in measurement variability. Myocardial deformation imaging, in particular Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS), can detect pre-clinical myocardial dysfunction. However, its use is not yet adopted into routine clinical practice.
Aims
Our aim was to ascertain if a clinically significant reduction in GLS (≥11% from baseline) occurred before the onset of EF reduction, in patients who developed cardiotoxicity whilst receiving trastuzumab.
Methods
Between January 2014 and January 2019, 235 consecutive patients received trastuzumab and underwent serial echocardiography at 3 monthly intervals at our institute. Cardiotoxicity is defined as a ≥10% EF reduction from baseline or an EF <50%. Women who developed cardiotoxicity as defined by this change in EF were retrospectively studied.
Two-dimensional speckle tracking was used to derive peak longitudinal strain in each myocardial segment from the apical four-, three- and two-chamber view images. GLS was taken as the average value of all these segments. The median time to ≥11% GLS reduction and ≥10% EF reduction or EF <50% was compared.
Results
Thirteen women (mean age 53 ± 9.5 years) developed cardiotoxicity. EF was 61.8 ± 4.4% at baseline and 45.7 ± 7.5% following therapy (p = 0.00). A ≥11% reduction in GLS from baseline was observed in all patients: GLS -20.2 ± 1.5% and -15.6 ± 2.1%, p = 0.00. The median time to cardiotoxicity as defined by EF and GLS was 6 months and 3 months, respectively (p = 0.031), as shown in Table 1. Repeatability analysis showed both EF and GLS measurements in our cohort have good measurement reproducibility. Inter-observer intraclass correlation (ICC) for EF and GLS were 0.912 and 0.913, respectively. Intra-observer ICC for EF and GLS were 0.925 and 0.900, respectively.
Conclusion
Cardiotoxicity developed in a significant portion (6%) of our patients receiving trastuzumab. As a reduction in GLS was detectable early and preceded that of EF by 3 months, this may represent a therapeutic window for initiation of cardio-protective medication, if and when the use of GLS is incorporated into routine practice for cardiotoxicity surveillance.

Abstract
Abstract
A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of an extension of AOAC Official Method 991.20, Nitrogen (Crude) in Milk, to animal feed, forage (plant tissue), grain, and oilseed materials. Test portions are digested in an aluminum block at 420°C in sulfuric acid with potassium sulfate and a copper catalyst. Digests are cooled and diluted, and concentrated sodium hydroxide is added to neutralize the acid and make the digest basic; the liberated ammonia is distilled by using steam distillation. The liberated ammonia is trapped in a weak boric acid solution and titrated with a stronger standardized acid, hydrochloric acid; colorimetric endpoint detection is used. Fourteen blind samples were sent to 13 collaborators in the United States, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Recoveries of nitrogen from lysine, tryptophan, and acetanilide were 86.8, 98.8, and 100.1%, respectively. The within-laboratory relative standard deviation (RSDr, repeatability) ranged from 0.40 to 2.38% for crude protein. The among-laboratories (including within-) relative standard deviation (RSDR, reproducibility) ranged from 0.44 to 2.38%. It is recommended that the method be adopted First Action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL. A lower concentration (1% H3BO3) of trapping solution was compared with the concentration specified in the original protocol (4% H3BO3) and was found comparable for use in an automatic titration system in which titration begins automatically as soon as distillation starts. The Study Directors recommend that 1% H3BO3 as an optional alternative to 4% boric acid trapping solution be allowed for automatic titrators that titrate throughout the distillation.

Abstract
Abstract
A liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for fast and simple measurement of retinyl palmitate (vitamin A) in fortified milk. Retinyl acetate internal standard was added to a test portion of milk followed by extraction into hexane. The hexane extract was analyzed by LC using a normal-phase silica gel column equilibrated with mobile phase (conditioned hexane–isopropanol, 99.85 + 0.15, v/v) about 1 h before injections. The retinyl palmitate concentration was calculated by using a relative response factor determined with calibration standards. In the collaborative study, 11 laboratories analyzed 13 pairs of fluid milk materials in blind duplicate. Twelve of the materials were composed of skim milk (<0.5% fat), 1% fat milk, 2% fat milk, and 1% fat chocolate milk. Each material was fortified at 3 concentrations of retinyl palmitate of approximately 581 μg/L (1000 IU/qt), 1163 μg/L (2000 IU/qt), and 2236 μg/L (4000 IU/qt). The 13th material, unfortified skim milk, served as a matrix blank. Repeatability standard deviations (RSDr) without outliers ranged from 1.5 to 5.7% and reproducibility standard deviations (RSDR) without outliers ranged from 5.0 to 22.7%. cis-Isomers co-eluted with the predominant trans-retinyl palmitate isomer and were included in the results reported by all the collaborative laboratories. Endogenous long-chain esters from milk fat were also measured with the retinyl palmitate additive. The Study Director recommends that this method for determination of retinyl palmitate in fluid milk by LC be adopted First Action.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine recovery time from concussion utilizing date of injury and date of return to play. It was hypothesized females would have longer recovery times by age and dual gender sports (baseball/softball, basketball, soccer, swimming/diving, and track/field).
Methods
This study used data from the Rank One Health Injury Surveillance Database (ROH ISD) between 2012–18, in student-athletes ages 13 to 18. This study examined concussion reporting by Athletic Trainers (ATCs) at both middle schools and high schools. Independent sample t-tests were performed by gender, age (13–15, 16–18), and sport with p < 0.05 being statistically significant.
Results
A total of 3,967 concussions with an average age of 15.34 (SD = 1.43), with a defined date of injury and date of return to play were recorded by ATCs. There was a significant effect in recovery time for gender, F(1, 3965) = 3.36, p<0.001 with females taking longer to recover than males. There was a statistically significant effect in recovery time for age, F(1, 3965) = 3.97, p<0.001 with athletes ages 13–15 taking longer to recovery than athletes ages 16–18. Females also experienced longer recovery when comparing sports, with significant differences observed in baseball/softball, soccer, swimming/diving, and track/field.
Conclusion
This study marks the largest examination of recovery time in student athletes ages 13–18. The findings from this study provide further evidence for longer observed recovery time in females compared to males.

Abstract
The Spin Asymmetries of the Nucleon Experiment measured two double spin asymmetries using a polarized proton target and polarized electron beam at two beam energies, 4.7 and 5.9 GeV. A large-acceptance open-configuration detector package identified scattered electrons at 40° and covered a wide range in Bjorken x (0.3<x<0.8). Proportional to an average color Lorentz force, the twist-3 matrix element, d[over ˜]_{2}^{p}, was extracted from the measured asymmetries at Q^{2} values ranging from 2.0 to 6.0 GeV^{2}. The data display the opposite sign compared to most quark models, including the lattice QCD result, and an unexpected scale dependence. Furthermore, when combined with the neutron data in the same Q^{2} range the results suggest a flavor independent average color Lorentz force.

Abstract
In this study, ultrasonic measurements of the fetal head area and abdominal area were obtained in 1200 patients with singleton pregnancies. The results from the 434 who have delivered, indicate that a large proportion of growth-retarded infants cannot be identified by a single late ultrasonic measurement of either area, at 32–34 weeks gestation, as has been previously suggested.

Abstract
AIM To assess the feasibility and efficacy of a streamlined single time-point 99mTc-HYNIC-Tyr3-octreotide (Tektrotyd) somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) protocol to differentiate pathological uptake by neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) from physiological activity. METHODS AND MATERIALS Tektrotyd imaging in 50 consecutive patients with NETs was reviewed retrospectively. Imaging was independently assessed by two experienced reporters with dual-certification in radiology and nuclear medicine and agreed in consensus. The presence of physiological bowel activity and/or further sites of equivocal uptake on 4-hour planar imaging and whether combined single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) assessment allowed accurate diagnosis was tabulated. A judgement was also made in each case on whether 2-hour planar imaging was necessary for accurate diagnostic interpretation. RESULTS Thirty-six patients (72%) had positive findings on Tektrotyd SPECT/CT. Eight patients (16%) had bowel activity on 4-hour planar imaging, which could be considered to have hampered interpretation without access to SPECT/CT. Eleven studies in 10 patients (20%) demonstrated areas of indeterminate uptake on planar imaging; five in the uncinate process of the pancreas, three in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses, one in the adrenal glands, one in a focus of inflammation on the posterior abdominal wall, and one at the tip of a central venous line. In all cases, accurate interpretation of findings was possible with SPECT/CT, without the 2-hour planar image. CONCLUSION Two-hour planar imaging could be safely omitted from Tektrotyd SRS incorporating SPECT/CT imaging without reducing the accuracy of diagnostic interpretation. Streamlined imaging has the potential to reduce patient inconvenience and improve scanner and staff efficiency.

Abstract
Scoping studies were designed to determine if double-crested cormorants (Phalacocorax auritus), laughing gulls (Leucophaues atricilla), homing pigeons (Columba livia) and western sandpipers (Calidris mauri) that were gavaged with a mixture of artificially weathered MC252 oil and food for either a single day or 4-5 consecutive days showed signs of oil toxicity. Where volume allowed, samples were collected for hematology, plasma protein electrophoresis, clinical chemistry and electrolytes, oxidative stress and organ weigh changes. Double-crested cormorants, laughing gulls and western sandpipers all excreted oil within 30min of dose, while pigeons regurgitated within less than one hour of dosing. There were species differences in the effectiveness of the dosing technique, with double-crested cormorants having the greatest number of responsive endpoints at the completion of the trial. Statistically significant changes in packed cell volume, white cell counts, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase, gamma glutamyl transferase, uric acid, chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium, total glutathione, glutathione disulfide, reduced glutathione, spleen and liver weights were measured in double-crested cormorants. Homing pigeons had statistically significant changes in creatine phosphokinase, total glutathione, glutathione disulfide, reduced glutathione and Trolox equivalents. Laughing gulls exhibited statistically significant decreases in spleen and kidney weight, and no changes were observed in any measurement endpoints tested in western sandpipers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is generally accepted that the patients' hospital experience can influence their overall satisfaction with the outcome of lower limb arthroplasty; however, little is known about the factors that shape the hospital experience. The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of what patients like and do not like about their hospital experience with a view to providing insight into where service improvements could have the potential to improve the patient experience and their satisfaction, and whether they would recommend the procedure. DESIGN A mixed methods (quan-QUAL) approach. SETTING Large regional teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS 216 patients who had completed a postoperative postal questionnaire at 12 months following total knee or total hip arthroplasty. OUTCOME MEASURES Overall satisfaction with the outcome of surgery, whether to recommend the procedure to another and the rating of patient hospital experience. Free text comments on the best and worst aspects of their hospital stay were evaluated using qualitative thematic analysis. RESULTS Overall, 77% of patients were satisfied with their surgery, 79% reported a good-excellent hospital experience and 85% would recommend the surgery to another. Qualitative analysis revealed clear themes relating to communication, pain relief and the process experience. Comments on positive aspects of the hospital experience were related to feeling well informed and consulted about their care. Comments on the worst aspects of care were related to being made to wait without explanation, moved to different wards and when they felt invisible to the healthcare staff caring for them. CONCLUSIONS Positive patient experiences were closely linked to effective patient-health professional interactions and logistics of the hospital processes. Within arthroplasty services, the patient experience of healthcare could be enhanced by further attention to concepts of patient-centred care. Practical examples of this include more focus on developing staff-patient communication and the avoidance of 'boarding' procedures.
