Abstract
The first complete measurement of the β-decay strength distribution of _{17}^{45}Cl_{28} was performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) with the FRIB Decay Station Initiator during the second FRIB experiment. The measurement involved the detection of neutrons and γ rays in two focal planes of the FRIB Decay Station Initiator in a single experiment for the first time. This enabled an analytical consistency in extracting the β-decay strength distribution over the large range of excitation energies, including neutron unbound states. We observe a rapid increase in the β-decay strength distribution above the neutron separation energy in _{18}^{45}Ar_{27}. This was interpreted to be caused by the transitioning of neutrons into protons excited across the Z=20 shell gap. The SDPF-MU interaction with reduced shell gap best reproduced the data. The measurement demonstrates a new approach that is sensitive to the proton shell gap in neutron rich nuclei according to SDPF-MU calculations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Empty pelvis syndrome (EPS) is a significant source of morbidity following pelvic exenteration (PE), but is undefined. EPS outcome reporting and descriptors of radicality of PE are inconsistent; therefore, the best approaches for prevention are unknown. To facilitate future research into EPS, the aim of this study is to define a measurable core outcome set, core descriptor set and written definition for EPS. Consensus on strategies to mitigate EPS was also explored. METHOD Three-stage consensus methodology was used: longlisting with systematic review, healthcare professional event, patient engagement, and Delphi-piloting; shortlisting with two rounds of modified Delphi; and a confirmatory stage using a modified nominal group technique. This included a selection of measurement instruments, and iterative generation of a written EPS definition. RESULTS One hundred and three and 119 participants took part in the modified Delphi and consensus meetings, respectively. This encompassed international patient and healthcare professional representation with multidisciplinary input. Seventy statements were longlisted, seven core outcomes (bowel obstruction, enteroperineal fistula, chronic perineal sinus, infected pelvic collection, bowel obstruction, morbidity from reconstruction, re-intervention, and quality of life), and four core descriptors (magnitude of surgery, radiotherapy-induced damage, methods of reconstruction, and changes in volume of pelvic dead space) reached consensus-where applicable, measurement of these outcomes and descriptors was defined. A written definition for EPS was agreed. CONCLUSIONS EPS is an area of unmet research and clinical need. This study provides an agreed definition and core data set for EPS to facilitate further research.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this review is to assess the efficacy and safety of using heat and cold therapy for adults with lymphoedema. METHODS A multi-database search was undertaken. Only studies which included adults with lymphoedema who were treated with heat or cold therapy reporting any outcome were included. Screening, data extraction, and assessment of bias were undertaken by a single reviewer and verified by a second. Due to the substantial heterogeneity, a descriptive synthesis was undertaken. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included. All nine studies which assessed the effects of heat-therapy on changes in limb circumference reported a point estimate indicating some reduction from baseline to end of study. Similarly, the five studies evaluating the use of heat-therapy on limb volume demonstrated a reduction in limb volume from baseline to end-of-study. Only four studies reported adverse events of which all were deemed to be minor. Only two studies explored the effects of cold therapy on lymphoedema. CONCLUSIONS Tentative evidence suggests heat-therapy may have some benefit in treating lymphoedema with minimal side effects. However, further high-quality randomised controlled trials are required, with a particular focus on moderating factors and assessment of adverse events.

Abstract
Sc1 is a high-prevalence blood group antigen that is part of the Scianna blood group system. The clinical significance of Scianna antibodies is not well understood because of their rarity; there are only a handful of cases in the literature. This scarcity of information can make it difficult to decide on the best course of action when transfusing a patient with alloantibodies to Scianna blood group antigens. We describe a case of an 85-year-old woman presenting with melena and a hemoglobin of 66 g/L. Upon request for crossmatched blood, a panreactive antibody was found, later elucidated to be alloanti-Sc1. Because of the urgent nature of the transfusion, the patient was transfused with 2 incompatible, presumed Sc1+, red blood cell units with no evidence of an acute or delayed transfusion reaction. This case has been shared with the International Society of Blood Transfusion Rare Donor Working Party, via their Outcome of Incompatible Transfusion form, and adds to the body of evidence on clinical significance of antibodies to the antigens of the Scianna blood group system.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study seeks to assess the frequency at which disordered eating impacts patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), evaluate the level of Eating Competence (EC) among patients with IBS, and determine whether EC and eating disorder (ED) risk varies according to IBS symptom severity and IBS subtype.
Methods
This cross-sectional study is based on an anonymous survey conducted from August to September 2021. Adults with IBS (N = 225) were recruited from online and social media IBS support forums. IBS symptom severity was assessed using the validated IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS), ED risk was assessed using the validated Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), and EC was assessed using the validated Satter Eating Competence Inventory (ecSI 2.0™). Multiple linear regression was used to predict EAT-26 total score from IBS-SSS score and age. The regression model was repeated with IBS subtype added as a covariate. One-way and two-way ANOVAs were used to examine the relationships between IBS severity level, IBS subtype, and ecSI 2.0™ total score.
Results
EC among the sample was 17% while 27% was classified as likely or very likely disordered eating. IBS severity was positively associated with ED risk (P < 0.001), and EC was significantly lower in the severe IBS group compared to the moderate IBS group (P = 0.016). No relationship was detected between IBS subtype and ED risk or EC.
Conclusions
IBS severity was positively associated with ED risk and negatively associated with EC. This sheds light on the importance of assessing EC and screening for disordered eating and EDs prior to selecting therapies for patients with IBS, particularly when symptom severity is high. This study also calls to attention the relatively low rates of EC in patients with IBS, especially among those with severe IBS.

Abstract
Objectives It has been shown that more males than females are identified as having Eating Competence (EC). EC among college students who do not identify as male or female is not well understood, especially in relation to other health behaviors. We evaluated a sample of undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic and hypothesized that lower EC would be associated with identifying as female or non-binary and having lower fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, lower physical activity, following a weight control diet, and present or past eating disorder (ED). Methods An online survey was administered from October to December 2020 to undergraduate students at a public university. Validated instruments in the questionnaire included the Satter Eating Competence Inventory (ecSI 2.0TM) and the SCOFF survey for ED risk. Total ecSI 2.0TM scores ranged from 0–48; EC was defined as ≥32. Questions about dietary pattern and ED presence or history were also included. Two-factor ANOVAs evaluated associations between ecSI 2.0TM score with gender identity and F&V intake, physical activity, diet pattern, ED history, and ED risk. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS (v.28.0). Results Among survey completers (N = 1996), 72% identified as female, 23% male, and 4% non-binary. 60% of participants were not EC. Males had the highest mean ecSI 2.0™ score of 32.8 (±0.4) versus females and non-binary students, respectively (27.7 ± 0.3, 25.0 ± 0.8; P < 0.001). Interactions between gender and other factors were not significant. Mean ecSI 2.0™ score among participants with a current ED (19.3 ± 0.6) was significantly lower than those without ED history (31.3 ± 0.3, P < 0.001). Participants with “at-ED-risk” SCOFF scores had significantly lower mean ecSI 2.0™ scores than those not-at-risk for an ED (23.7 ± 0.4 vs. 31.4 ± 0.3, P < 0.001). Conclusions Mean ecSI 2.0™ scores were lowest for students who identified as non-binary and had presence or risk of an ED. Future interventions that focus on EC should consider the disproportionately low EC among non-binary populations and those at risk for ED.

Abstract
Objectives To determine the relationships between stress experienced by registered dietitians, eating competence, and risk for orthorexia nervosa amid the backdrop of COVID-19. Methods A cross-sectional study was used to compare Perceived Stress Scale, ORTO-15 Questionnaire, and Satter Eating Competence Inventory 2.0 scores computed from participant responses to understand how prevalence of stress, risk for orthorexia nervosa, and eating competence in registered dietitians relate to one another. Independent sample t-tests, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and two-way ANOVA were used to compare scores. A random sample of 5,000 registered dietitians in the United States were invited to complete an online survey; 155 responses were received. Results Scores for the final sample (N = 83) suggested 63.9% had high stress, 61.4% were at risk for orthorexia nervosa, and 80.7% were eating competent. Statistical analysis revealed a negative association between stress and eating competence, but no relationship between stress and orthorexia nervosa risk. Risk for orthorexia nervosa and eating competence were positively associated. Conclusions Further exploration of the relationship between stress and eating competence in registered dietitians may offer insight into addressing stress in the dietetics profession. The positive association between orthorexia nervosa risk and eating competence may imply the presence of healthy orthorexia, or a non-pathological focus on eating healthfully, in registered dietitians.

Abstract
Objectives The usage of dietary supplements (DS) is increasingly prevalent in China. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine DS use and the factors that influence the buying and usage. Methods Data is from an anonymous, self-developed, online questionnaire administered to Chinese adults ≥60 years. Statistical analyses were conducted using chi-square, independent t-tests, and single-factor ANOVA to test differences in DS usage among characteristic-based stratified groups. Results 75 participants were anonymously recruited (66.7% female). The most popular DS was calcium (74.7%). Participants’ children were the most prevalent source for hearing about and obtaining DS (59%). Participants who completed senior high or higher used more DS than those who completed junior high or lower, P = 0.011. Participants living in the North and Northeast Hukou regions took fewer DS than those in other regions, P = 0.007. No significant differences were found in the prevalence of DS use in relation to chronic disease diagnoses. Conclusions The results show the lack of awareness and knowledge of DS use. Appropriate guidance and scientific education about DS, such as the benefits and risks of different types of DS and the effectiveness of DS related to chronic diseases, should be provided to Chinese older people by public health departments, healthcare providers, and even DS companies in the future. Older Chinese adults with higher education and living in the North and Northeast Hukou regions are more likely to use DS. Funding Sources None.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to determine if Eating Competence in undergraduates is associated with weight- and body-related guilt and shame, weight satisfaction, and eating concerns, and whether these associations differ by gender identity. Methods This cross-sectional study was a secondary analysis of data from a 127-item survey sent out to undergraduates at a public university in the U.S. in 2020. Participants were categorized as either “Eating Competent” (EC) or “Not Eating Competent” (non-EC) according to their responses on the validated Satter Eating Competence Inventory (ecSI 2.0™). Two-factor ANOVAs tested whether Eating Competence and gender identity were associated with weight- and body-related shame; weight- and body-related guilt; weight satisfaction; and eating concerns. Demographic characteristics were evaluated in relation to gender identity. Body trying categories were compared with gender, body mass index (BMI), and body weight perception categories. Results Of the 1996 student participants, 40% were EC. Gender identity was 72% female, 23% male, and 4% non-binary identities. Males’ mean ecSI 2.0™ score was significantly higher than that of females (32.8 vs. 27.6; P < 0.001) and those of non-binary gender identities (32.8 vs. 24.7; P < 0.001). Eating Competence was significantly associated with lower weight- and body-related guilt and shame, greater weight satisfaction, fewer eating concerns, and with not trying to lose body weight (P < 0.001 in all cases). Participants with a non-binary gender identity had mean scores between males and females in the majority of tested variables. The only exceptions were ecSI 2.0™ scores, for which those of a non-binary gender had the lowest scores of the three groups (mean 24.7), and in weight- and body-related shame scores, where those of a non-binary gender had mean scores identical to females scores (mean 11.9). Conclusions In every outcome variable tested, those who were EC had more favorable mean scores than those who were non-EC. Male students had more favorable mean scores than female students (in all cases) or those with a non-binary identity (in some cases). These associations demonstrate the emotional components of eating behaviors and body-related perceptions, and may be helpful in future interventions aimed at improving these traits in undergraduates.

Abstract
BackgroundAlthough it may be difficult to detect changes in spinal mobility on the short term, spinal mobility is considered an important measure to assess the efficacy of drugs used to treat axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). However, few studies evaluated the long-term impact of biologic treatment on spinal mobility.ObjectivesTo describe the long-term effect of TNF inhibitors (TNFi) on spinal mobility in patients with axSpA, and to determine whether the use of TNFi treatment influences spinal mobility, and if this due to a direct or indirect effect (mediated by disease activity).MethodsWe performed a retrospective observational study, using data collected from patients with a clinical diagnosis of axSpA treated with TNFi at a tertiary care centre where disease activity and metrology assessments are routinely done. Adult patients with at least two Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) measurements were included. Disease activity was measured using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score C-reactive protein (ASDAS). The longitudinal association between TNFi and improvement in BASDAI/ASDAS was tested using a linear mixed effects model with BASMI as dependent variable. To test whether TNFi had a direct effect on BASMI, not mediated by disease activity, we tested that TNFi treatment was not conditionally independent of BASMI given BASDAI/ASDAS (Figure 1). We tested whether the nodes TNFi and BASMI were disconnected if we removed BASDAI and ASDAS. To test this conditional independence, we first built a linear mixed effects model for BASMI given BASDAI or ASDAS when the patient was under TNFi and used this model to predict a 95% confidence interval (CI) for BASMI given the data for BASDAI/ASDAS when the patient was without TNFi. We checked whether the true value of BASMI lay within this 95% CI and performed a hypothesis test for binomial distribution where H0: p=0.95. To test for the indirect effect of TNFi on BASMI reduction, mediated through the disease activity, we regressed BASMI on BASDAI/ASDAS, TNFi (if there was a direct effect), demographics, presence of radiographic (r-) axSpA and HLA-B27 positivity, using a linear mixed effects model adjusted for within-patient correlation.Figure 1.Indirect effect of TNFi on BASMI (represented by the full line), through the influence of TNFi on disease activity, adjusted by other confounders and direct effect of TNFi on BASMI (dashed line), independently of disease activity.ResultsData from 188 patients and 1326 visits were analysed. Mean age was 45.6 (SD 11.6) years, mean disease duration was 15.8 (SD 9.64) years, 152 (80.9%) were male, 120 (73.6%) had r-axSpA, and 83 (74.8%) were HLA-B27 positive. Mean follow-up time was 8.0 (SD 4.4) years, ranging from 0.8 to 18.2 years. Treatment with TNFi was significantly associated with long-term improvement in BASMI (B=-0.423, 95% CI=[-0.553,-0.292], p<0.001). An indirect effect of TNFi on BASMI improvement was observed, mediated by reduction in disease activity, measured by BASDAI (B=0.146, 95% CI=[0.092, 0.200], p<0.001) or ASDAS (B=0.405, 95% CI=[0.260, 0.549], p<0.001). Using conditional independence tests, a direct effect of TNFi on BASMI improvement was also observed, independently of disease activity, when BASDAI was used (p<0.001) as a covariate, but not when ASDAS was used (p=0.3104). The direct effect of TNFi (B=-0.300, 95% CI=[-0.576,-0.025], p<0.001) on BASMI was estimated in the BASDAI-adjusted mixed effects model.ConclusionTNFi are effective at improving BASMI in patients with axSpA, in a real-life setting. This effect is mainly explained by the reduction in disease activity. However, a direct effect of TNFi on BASMI could also be demonstrated, when disease activity was measured by BASDAI, suggesting that ASDAS captures additional factors that can influence spinal mobility. These potential factors deserve further investigation, but they could for example include biomechanical properties of tendons and myofascial tissue.Disclosure of InterestsAna Sofia Pinto: None declared, Bohao Yao: None declared, Claire Harris: None declared, Rhys Hayward: None declared, Andrew Keat: None declared, Pedro Machado Speakers bureau: Received consulting/speaker’s fees from Abbvie, BMS, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Galapagos, Janssen, MSD, Novartis, Orphazyme, Pfizer, Roche and UCB, all unrelated to thismanuscript, Consultant of: Received consulting/speaker’s fees from Abbvie, BMS, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Galapagos, Janssen, MSD, Novartis, Orphazyme, Pfizer, Roche and UCB, all unrelated to thismanuscript

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Racial bias has always been a concern for healthcare. Lack of guideline directed utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in cardiogenic shock (CS) may lead to implicit and racial bias.
Purpose
To identify the racial differences in the use of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock and its association with outcomes.
Methods
National Inpatient Database from 2015–2018 using ICD 10 codes was used. Patients >18 years of age admitted for cariogenic shock were included.
Results
Among 1,021,274 patients hospitalized for cardiogenic shock, overall MCS was utilized in 11.4% (N=116,539). Use of MCS for patients stratified by race was 12.2% white (N=85543), 8% Blacks (N=14688), 11.3% Hispanics (N=11067), 13.8% Asian (N=4417), 12.3% Native American (N=825). IABP was the most commonly used MCS device, followed by Impella, ECMO and LVAD. Overall odds of MCS insertion was significantly higher in white population [1.18 (1.13–1.23) <0.001] and significantly lower in Blacks [0.65 (0.61–0.69) <0.001] and Hispanics [0.89 (0.83–0.97) 0.004]. Among black patients with CS requiring MCS, odds of LVAD insertion were similar compared to other races [1.03 (0.89–1.19) 0.714], while odds of all other types of MCS devices including ECMO [0.83 (0.72–0.95) 0.009], IABP [0.63 (0.59–0.68) <0.001] and Impella [0.61 (0.54–0.70) <0.001] were significantly lower compared to other races. This trend also holds true for patients with CS associated with acute myocardial infarction. Among all patients with CS, the odds of mortality were significantly lower among white patients [0.92 (0.90–0.95) <0.001], on the contrary, odds of mortality were significantly higher in Blacks [1.06 (1.02–1.10) 0.001] and Asians [1.11 (1.02–1.20) 0.012]. Interestingly, when only comparing patients who underwent MCS utilization for CS, odds of mortality were similar in black population compared to other races. [1.03 (0.91–1.17) 0.636].
Conclusion(s)
There still exist significant racial differences in the use of mechanical circulatory devices for cardiogenic shock potentially leading to significantly higher mortality in black population compared to whites. This difference in mortality is mitigated with equal use of MCS devices in cardiogenic shock among all races.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
There is an increase in the utilization of robotic surgery in addition to traditional open or laparoscopic approaches. The aim of this study is to compare the short-term outcomes for open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery for rectal and sigmoid cancer.
Method
One hundred and forty-seven patients (open n = 48, laparoscopic n = 49, robotic n = 50) undergoing curative resections by two surgeons, using a standardized technique, between 2013 and 2020 were included. Data analyzed included patient demographics, tumor characteristics, length of stay, post-operative outcomes, and pathologic surrogates of oncologic results, including total mesorectal excision (TME) quality, circumferential resection margin (CRM) involvement and lymph node (LN) yield.
Results
Median age of population was 68 years (IQR 59-73), majority (68%) were males. Median distance from anal verge in robotic surgery group was 8 cm, compared to 15 and 14.5 cm in the open and laparoscopic groups respectively, p = 0.029, (laparoscopic vs robotic, p = 0.005 and open vs robotic, p = 0.027). Proportion of patients who received neoadjuvant radiotherapy in robotic surgery group was higher, p = 0.04. In sub-group of tumors between 3 and 7 cm from anal verge more patients in the robotic surgery group had sphincter preservation, p = 0.006. Length of stay, maximum C-reactive protein, and white blood cell rise favored minimally invasive approaches compared to open surgery. There were no differences in post-operative complications, lymph node yield or CRM positivity rate between the three groups.
Conclusions
Robotic surgery approach is safe and allows sphincter preservation without compromising TME quality in rectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acidemia, is associated with reduced cardiac function in animals, but no studies showing an effect of acidemia on cardiac function in humans are reported. In the present study, we examined the effect of acidemia on cardiac function assessed with transpulmonary thermodilution technique with integrated pulse contour analysis (Pulse Contour Cardiac Output, PiCCO™) in a large cohort of critically ill patients. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter observational cross-sectional study of 297 patients from 6 intensive care units in London, England selected from all patients admitted consecutively between May 2018 and March 2019. Measurements of lowest plasma pH and concurrent assessment of cardiac function were obtained. FINDINGS There was a significant difference between two pH categories (pH ≤ 7.28 vs. pH > 7.28) for the following variables of cardiac function: SVI (difference in means 32.7; 95% CI: 21 to 45 mL/m2; p < 0.001); GEF (18; 95% CI: 11 to 26%; p < 0.001), dPmax (-331; 95% CI: -510 to -153 mmHg/s; p = 0.001), CFI (0.7; 95% CI: 0.2 to 1.3 1/min; p = 0.01) and CPI (0.09; 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.15 W/m2; p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in CI (0.13; 95% CI: -0.20 to 0.47 L/min/m2; p = 0.12) between the pH categories. Also, a significant relationship was found between the quantitative pH and the following variables: SVI (132; 95% CI: 77 to 188 mL/m2; p < 0.001), GEF (74.7; 95% CI: 37.1 to 112.4%; p < 0.001), dPmax (-1587; 95% CI: -2361 to -815 mmHg/s; p < 0.001), CFI (3.5; 95% CI: 0.9 to 6.1 /min; p = 0.009), CPI (0.62; 95% CI: 0.36 to 0.88 W/m2; p < 0.001) and CI (regression coefficient 1.96; 95% CI:0.45 to 3.47 L/min/m2; p = 0.01). INTERPRETATION Acidemia is associated with impaired cardiac function in seriously ill patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit supporting the potential value of early diagnosis and improvement of arterial pH in these patients. FUNDING The study was partially supported by unrestricted funds from the UCLA School of Medicine.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Orthorexia is characterized by a fixation on healthful eating that emphasizes specific qualities of foods. The study objective was to investigate knowledge and self-awareness of orthorexia in the general public and nutrition students before and after viewing an online educational module.
Methods
De-identified online surveys created in REDCap were shared with the general public via social media groups (Facebook and Reddit) and survey exchange sites; and with nutrition students through a convenience sample obtained through nutrition departments of two universities. An educational module with an orthorexia infographic and video included pre- and post-questionnaires to assess change in knowledge of orthorexia. A validated orthorexia questionnaire (ORTO-15) was used to evaluate orthorexia behavior in these populations.
Results
Study participants who responded to the survey included 253 individuals from the general public and 77 nutrition students. Of the 253 general public respondents, 72 were from survey exchange groups on social media, 20 were from survey exchange websites and 150 were from motivational fitness groups on social media. fter reviewing the educational module, the general public's orthorexia knowledge scores increased from a mean of 3.4 (±1.0) to 4.9 (±1.3) out of a possible score of 7; whereas the nutrition students' orthorexia knowledge scores only increased from 5.2 (±1.3) to 5.7 (±0.9) pre- to post-educational module. This interaction was significant (P < 0.0001). 97.7% of the general public and 93.2% of nutrition students showed an ORTO-15 score of 40 or lower from a possible total score of 60. The majority of the nutrition students (40.3%, n = 29) chose “often” whereas about 50% (n = 109) of the general public chose “sometimes” and 33% (n = 73) chose “often”, when asked about feeling guilty when transgressing on the ORTO-15 questionnaires.
Conclusions
Both populations showed an increase in knowledge about orthorexia after viewing the educational module. The evidence from this study indicates knowledge of orthorexia is low in these populations and education about the condition may be warranted for the general public and students who are in nutrition-related fields. In both populations, ORTO-15 scores showed existence of some degree of orthorexia-related behavior.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Colorectal cancers (CRC) are the second most common cause of death by cancer, in the UK. Microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis is novel yet important part of managing CRC and used as a tool for predicting prognosis, treatment and identifying lynch syndrome. Where lynch syndrome is identified, preventative screening can be utilised. Previous studies only focused tumour testing on high-risk cases.
Method
A retrospective study at Northumbria Health Care NHS Trust was performed on all new CRC patients between 2017-2020.
Results
A total of 965 patients with CRC were identified. After exclusion criteria was applied to the cohort, a total of 483 patients were identified as having undergone MSI analysis. The mean age was 73.5 years old, with the female to male ratio being 1:1.4. Patients were further grouped into MSI stable, low, and high. MSI High patients accounted for 10% of patients analysed. Further genetic testing was performed on these patients which highlighted 28 patients with BRAF positive genes who went on to screening for Lynch syndrome associated cancers.
Conclusions
MSI testing provides essential diagnostic, prognostic information and also guides treatment options. 2.9% of patients identified as high risk for familial cancers and went on to have genetic screening and surveillance.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The aim was to identify which factors promote and discourage undergraduate medical students, based in a district general hospital, for choosing a career in surgery. A review of the current literature on this topic was undertaken in conjunction with the questionnaire.
Method
An online structured questionnaire was sent to all undergraduate clinical medical students based in Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital (NSECH), a teaching DGH. As well as the questionnaire, a systematic review of the literature was conducted on EMBASE, MEDLINE and Google Scholar using key search terms to review factors that influenced surgical career choices.
Results
The response rate was 46% (44/95). 75% of students rated variety of work, intellectually interesting and environment as the most important factors for their future careers. Status, financial rewards, and research opportunities were least important influences for respondents’ career decision making. A systematic literature review highlights that lifestyle factors, work-life balance were particularly important, perceived prestige and financial rewards were associated surgical career choices amongst medical students.
Conclusions
Multiple factors influence medical students career decision making and it is important to identify these factors for many reasons. Further research is recommended to further explore medical students’ perceptions on promoting and discouraging factors for surgical careers.

Abstract
Background Symptoms arising from vestibular system dysfunction are observed in 49–59% of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Symptoms may include vertigo, dizziness and/or imbalance. These impact on functional ability, contribute to falls and significant health and social care costs. In people with MS, vestibular dysfunction can be due to peripheral pathology that may include Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), as well as central or combined pathology. Vestibular symptoms may be treated with vestibular rehabilitation (VR), and with repositioning manoeuvres in the case of BPPV. However, there is a paucity of evidence about the rate and degree of symptom recovery with VR for people with MS and vestibulopathy. In addition, given the multiplicity of symptoms and underpinning vestibular pathologies often seen in people with MS, a customised VR approach may be more clinically appropriate and cost effective than generic booklet-based approaches. Likewise, BPPV should be identified and treated appropriately. Methods/ design People with MS and symptoms of vertigo, dizziness and/or imbalance will be screened for central and/or peripheral vestibulopathy and/or BPPV. Following consent, people with BPPV will be treated with re-positioning manoeuvres over 1–3 sessions and followed up at 6 and 12 months to assess for any re-occurrence of BPPV. People with central and/or peripheral vestibulopathy will be entered into a randomised controlled trial (RCT). Trial participants will be randomly allocated (1:1) to either a 12-week generic booklet-based home programme with telephone support or a 12-week VR programme consisting of customised treatment including 12 face-to-face sessions and a home exercise programme. Customised or booklet-based interventions will start 2 weeks after randomisation and all trial participants will be followed up 14 and 26 weeks from randomisation. The primary clinical outcome is the Dizziness Handicap Inventory at 26 weeks and the primary economic endpoint is quality-adjusted life-years. A range of secondary outcomes associated with vestibular function will be used. Discussion If customised VR is demonstrated to be clinically and cost-effective compared to generic booklet-based VR this will inform practice guidelines and the development of training packages for therapists in the diagnosis and treatment of vestibulopathy in people with MS.

Abstract
Nystagmus is an eye movement disorder characterised by abnormal, involuntary rhythmic oscillations of one or both eyes, initiated by a slow phase. It is not uncommon in the UK and regularly seen in paediatric ophthalmology and adult general/strabismus clinics. In some cases, it occurs in isolation, and in others, it occurs as part of a multisystem disorder, severe visual impairment or neurological disorder. Similarly, in some cases, visual acuity can be normal and in others can be severely degraded. Furthermore, the impact on vision goes well beyond static acuity alone, is rarely measured and may vary on a minute-to-minute, day-to-day or month-to-month basis. For these reasons, management of children with nystagmus in the UK is varied, and patients report hugely different experiences and investigations. In this review, we hope to shine a light on the current management of children with nystagmus across five specialist centres in the UK in order to present, for the first time, a consensus on investigation and clinical management.

Abstract
Importance The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, implemented nationwide in 2012, was intended to improve the nutritional quality of meals served in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Objective To assess whether there was an association between the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and dietary quality of lunch for students participating in the NSLP, stratified by income. Design, Setting, Participants Serial cross-sectional study design, using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2013-2014, and 2015-2016, of students who were surveyed in the NHANES and were attending schools participating in the NSLP. Individuals who were aged 5 to 18 years, in kindergarten through 12th grade, enrolled in a school that served school lunch, and had a reliable weekday dietary recall were included. Exposures The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (prepolicy period: 2007-2010; postpolicy period: 2013-2016), with participation in the NSLP estimated based on an algorithm. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was dietary quality of intake for lunch, measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) score (range, 0-100; 0 indicates a diet with no adherence to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and 100 indicates a diet with complete adherence to the guidelines). Results Among 6389 students included in the surveys (mean age, 11.7 [95% CI, 11.6-11.9] years; 3145 [50%] female students; 1880 [56%] were non-Hispanic white), 32% were low-income, 12% were low-middle-income, and 56% were middle-high-income students. A total of 2472 (39%) were participants in the NSLP. Among low-income students, the adjusted mean prepolicy HEI-2010 score was 42.7 and the postpolicy score was 54.6 among NSLP participants and the adjusted mean prepolicy score was 34.8 and postpolicy score was 34.1 among NSLP nonparticipants (difference in differences, 12.6 [95% CI, 8.9-16.3]). Among low-middle-income students, the adjusted mean prepolicy HEI-2010 score was 40.4 and postpolicy score was 54.8 among NSLP participants and the adjusted mean prepolicy score was 34.2 and postpolicy score was 36.1 among NSLP nonparticipants (difference in differences, 12.4 [95% CI, 4.9-19.9]). Among middle-high-income students, the adjusted mean HEI-2010 prepolicy score was 42.7 and postpolicy score 55.5 for NSLP participants and the adjusted mean prepolicy score was 38.9 and prepolicy score was 43.6 for NSLP nonparticipants (difference in differences, 8.1 [95% CI, 4.2-12.0]). Conclusions and Relevance In a serial cross-sectional study of students, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 was associated with better changes in dietary quality for lunch among presumed low-income, low-middle-income, and middle-high-income participants in the NSLP compared with nonparticipants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to describe how homeless youths access food in the Seattle area, and to describe the nutritional adequacy and quality of food obtained. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted between February 2018 and May 2019. Data collection took place at seven organizations in the greater Seattle area at which homeless youths typically access food. Trained research assistants verbally administered an ∼50-item survey to homeless youths aged 14 to 24 years on their general demographic characteristics, current housing situation, ability to access food, and quantity and quality of foods acquired. Each participant was given $10 at the completion of the survey. RESULTS Participants were 122 homeless youths with an average age of 21.6±1.94 years. During the previous week, 79.3% obtained meals from drop-in centers and 69.8% from a shelter. Most (75.2%) had not utilized a food bank during the previous month. The majority (73.6%) reported having enough food to eat, but not always the kind they wanted, and 75.4% rated the overall nutritional quality of their diet as average or below. Not having enough food or money for food contributed to skipping meals (50.4%), eating less than desired (47.1%), being hungry (45.5%), and losing weight (20.5%). CONCLUSIONS Information from this study can be used to identify barriers that homeless youths experience in acquiring adequate nutrition; to make suggestions for future research and program development; and to help social service organizations improve the network of nutrition services and the quality of food available to this vulnerable population through policy, community partnership, and public health action.

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
Abstract
Objectives
This observational, cross-sectional, pilot study was conducted to establish a nutritional profile among experienced climbers, both non-elite and elite, and to evaluate factors that influence time to exhaustion while climbing to volitional failure.
Methods
Elite (n = 10) and non-elite (n = 5) climbers, aged 18–45 years participated in the following: (1) nutritional analysis - 3-day food record and 24-hour dietary recall were analyzed using Food Processor and compared to government daily recommended intake; (2) climbing trial - after completing a climbing-related questionnaire and measuring anthropometric characteristics and hand grip strength, participants climbed a moderately difficult pre-set indoor route continuously until reaching volitional exhaustion.
Results
The major findings were significant differences for total climbing time between non-elite and elite climbers (t(13) = −2.6, p = 0.02). Additionally, protein intake from 24 hour recall (n = 15, rS = −0.53, p = 0.04) and total % water intake (n = 15, rS = −0.60, p = 0.02) were negatively correlated with climbing time.
Conclusions
These results indicate that a longer climbing time to exhaustion is related to self-reported climbing ability. In contrast, the negative association between protein intake and climbing time, suggest that carbohydrate intake may play a more important role in climbing performance than protein intake. In addition the negative association between total % water and climbing suggest that the more hydrated a person is going into a climb, the longer they can sustain a climb.

Abstract
Objectives
The nitrates found in beetroot juice (BR) are known to be a precursor of nitric oxide (NO). NO is a known vasodilator which allows more oxygen to travel in the blood and may improve muscle efficiency. This study aims to measure the effect of BR supplementation on performance on 500-meter row time for trained CrossFit athletes. Many past studies have analyzed the effect of BR on male athletes, this study aimed to include both males and females.
Methods
This study used a randomized, cross-over, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to measure 500-meter row time. Thirty athletes age 18–60 consumed either a 2.7 oz shot of BR (6.5 mmol nitrate) or a placebo nitrate-free beetroot juice (PL). Two hours later, they rowed 500 meters. After at least a seven-day washout period, athletes repeated the 500-meter row with either BR or PL for comparison. This study was performed from July 2019 – January 2020 and was conducted in Mercer Island, Washington.
Results
Ten males age 18.0 to 60.3 (median 47.7) and twenty females age 26.7 to 58.3 (median 43.8), participated in this study. Row times for the 500-meter row ranged from 88.2 seconds to 150.7 seconds. Data indicate that although 60% of all participants rowed faster with BR (mean 112.83 seconds), compared to PL (mean 113.40 seconds), the difference in the means of row times (−0.563) was not significant overall (P = 0.29). However, for the 10 males, row times were significantly faster (1.02 second difference, P = 0.04) on average with BR compared to PL. For the 20 females, the difference in mean row time (−0.335 seconds) was not significant (P = 0.66). Competitive rowers were defined as those who rowed under 110 seconds (N = 15). For competitive rowers (10 males, 5 females), row times were significantly faster with BR compared to PL (difference in means −0.94, P = 0.009). However, for those rowers, the P-value of drink * group was 0.015.
Conclusions
Dietary nitrate improved indoor rowing performance in males but not in females. In addition, competitive rowers were also significantly faster with BR, however, there may be an order bias, since there was significant interaction between beverage type and testing order. Food based nitrate supplements may increase rowing performance with male rowers.

Abstract
Objectives
For a subset of dieters, the pursuit of thinness may be harmful. In contrast, eating competence is associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes. This pilot intervention study evaluated changes in eating competence and disordered eating symptoms among previous dieters who participated in the How to Eat program using two delivery modes at a major midwestern university.
Methods
Participants were adult employees of the university who self-identified as previous dieters and voluntarily enrolled in How to Eat in either individual sessions or group classes (self-selected) over a nine-year period as part of employee health promotion offerings. How to Eat, offered weekly over 10 sessions, is grounded in the validated Eating Competence model, and measured by the ecSI 2.0™, which defines eating competence as comprised of 4 domains: 1) eating attitudes; 2) food acceptance; 3) food management/contextual skills; and 4) internal regulation of eating. A total score on the ecSI 2.0™ of at least 32 (of 48 total) indicates eating competence. Symptoms of eating disorders were evaluated with the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26). Two-factor ANOVA was used for analyses.
Results
A total of 160 employees participated in How to Eat. Those participating in individual sessions were significantly younger (M = 38.3 years) and attended a greater number of sessions (M = 9.3) than those participating in group classes (M = 48.1 years and M = 5.9 sessions). Adjusting for age and number of sessions, there was a significant interaction between intervention and session type for ecSI 2.0™ total scores [F(1, 149) = 21.424, P < 0.001, ƞ2 = 0.126], all four subscale domain scores, and EAT-26 total scores [F(1, 149) = 14.035, P < 0.001, ƞ2 = 0.086]. Improvements in scores were significantly greater for participants in the individual sessions than the group classes. Body weight was not significantly influenced by the intervention.
Conclusions
How to Eat is associated with improvements in measures of eating competence and symptoms of disordered eating among previous dieters, and these improvements are greater for those participating in individual sessions versus group classes in a university employee wellness setting. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and additional health-related outcomes of the How to Eat method among diverse populations and other settings.

Abstract
Objectives
For a subset of dieters, the pursuit of thinness may be harmful. In contrast, eating competence is associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes. This single-arm, pilot intervention study evaluated changes in eating competence and symptoms of eating disorders among previous dieters employed in a metropolitan hospital system who participated in the How to Eat program.
Methods
Participants were adult employees of the hospital system who self-identified as previous dieters, and voluntarily enrolled in How to Eat on a rolling basis over a six-year period during employee health promotion offerings. How to Eat, offered weekly in a group setting over 10 sessions, is grounded in the validated Eating Competence model, and measured by the ecSI 2.0™, which defines eating competence as comprised of four domains: 1) eating attitudes; 2) food acceptance; 3) food management/contextual skills; and 4) internal regulation of eating based on hunger, appetite and satisfaction. A total score on the ecSI 2.0™ of at least 32 (of 48 possible) indicates eating competence. Symptoms of eating disorders were evaluated with the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26). Paired t-Tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used for analyses.
Results
43 adults participated, averaged 47.5 years (SD = 10.7), 210 lbs. (SD = 30.9), and were primarily female (95.3%) and white (90.7%). From pre- to post-program, How to Eat was associated with significant changes in scores on the total ecSI 2.0™ (t(42) = 12.20, P < 0.001), each of its subscales, and the EAT-26 (t(42) = 6.53, P < 0.001). Pre-program, the mean ecSI 2.0™ total score was 22.8 (SD = 6.5) and 9.3% (N = 4) of participants were considered eating competent. Post-program, the mean ecSI 2.0™ total score was 34.3 (SD = 4.9) and 100% (N = 43) of participants were classified as eating competent. Mean EAT-26 total scores decreased from 10.7 (SD = 8.1) to 3.7 (SD = 2.9). Body weight was not significantly influenced by the intervention (t(21) = 0.314, P = 0.757).
Conclusions
How to Eat may be associated with improvements in measures of eating competence and eating disorder symptoms among previous dieters participating in an employee health program despite no significant change in body weight. Experimental research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and additional health-related outcomes of How to Eat among diverse populations and other settings.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Infertility affects 6.1 million women in the United States. There is currently no recognized Medical Nutrition Therapy to optimize fertility. Despite a lack of research evidence of safety and efficacy, carbohydrate restriction (CR) and carbohydrate-controlled diets (CCD) are utilized by individuals and practitioners as a treatment for subfertility. An aim of this study was to assess awareness and perception of CR as a treatment for subfertility by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN). In addition, a secondary aim was to compare similar questions gathered from individuals who followed a CCD for fertility enhancement.
Methods
This study was a combination of two surveys open for respondents July 2019 to January 2020 via REDCap. The survey for the first aim had a restricted population of RDNs consisting of 20 questions investigating perception of CR therapy and experience with patients with subfertility. The survey was emailed via listserv through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The second survey targeted individuals who implemented CR as a fertility therapy. It consisted of 45 questions and was distributed to CCD related social media groups.
Results
The first survey had 240 RDN respondents with an average of 12 years of experience. The second survey had 203 CCD respondents of which 49% had followed a CCD for less than one year. While the remaining 51% followed a CCD for an average of 3.6 years. There was a statistically significant difference between how the two groups defined carbohydrate restriction χ,2 (3, 410) = 265.4, P < 0.01. Among RDNs, 49.8% selected “Below 45% kcal from carbohydrate/day” and 32.2% selected “Below 100 g carbohydrate/day”. In contrast, 75.4% of followers of a CCD selected “Below 20 g carbohydrate/day”. A total of 41% of RDNs were familiar with research regarding the effect of carbohydrate reduction on female subfertility markers, such as PCOS and anovulation, of which 67% believe the body of evidence demonstrates “generally positive outcomes” on markers of fertility.
Conclusions
The results of this study highlight the lack of a consistent definition of CCD between providers and the public. There may be a need for educating providers that research regarding CCD and fertility exists, but effectiveness of CR as a treatment cannot be properly assessed without an agreed upon definition.

Abstract
An analytical solution describing the electrostatic interaction between particles with inhomogeneous surface charge distributions has been developed. For particles, each carrying a single charge, the solution equates to the presence of a point charge residing on the surface, which makes it particularly suitable for investigating the Coulomb fission of doubly charged clusters close to the Rayleigh instability limit. For a series of six separate molecular dication clusters, center-of-mass kinetic energy releases have been extracted from experimental measurements of their kinetic energy spectra following Coulomb fission. These data have been compared with Coulomb energy barriers calculated from the electrostatic interaction energies given by this new solution. For systems with high dielectric permittivity, results from the point charge model provide a viable alternative to kinetic energy releases calculated on the assumption of a uniform distribution of surface charge. The equivalent physical picture for the clusters would be that of a trapped proton. For interacting particles with low dielectric permittivity, a uniform distribution of charge provides better agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
Pre-hospital transfusion of blood products is a vital component of many advanced pre-hospital systems. Portable fluid warmers may be utilised to help prevent hypothermia, but the limits defined by manufacturers often do not reflect their clinical use. The primary aim of this randomised in-vitro study was to assess the warming performance of four portable blood warming devices (Thermal Angel, Hypotherm X LG, °M Warmer, Buddy Lite) against control at different clinically-relevant flow rates. The secondary aim was to assess haemolysis rates between devices at different flow rates. We assessed each of the four devices and the control, at flow rates of 50 ml.min-1 , 100 ml.min-1 and 200 ml.min-1 , using a controlled perfusion circuit with multisite temperature monitoring. Free haemoglobin concentration, a marker of haemolysis, was measured at multiple points during each initial study run with spectrophotometry. At all flow rates, the four devices provided superior warming performance compared with the control (p < 0.001). Only the °M Warmer provided a substantial change in temperature at all flow rates (mean (95%CI) temperature change of 21.1 (19.8-22.4) °C, 20.4 (19.1-21.8) °C and 19.4 (17.7-21.1) °C at 50 ml.min-1 , 100 ml.min-1 and 200 ml.min-1 , respectively). There was no association between warming and haemolysis with any device (p = 0.949) or flow rate (p = 0.169). Practical issues, which may be relevant to clinical use, also emerged during testing. Our results suggest that there were significant differences in the performance of portable blood warming devices used at flow rates encountered in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
Precise control of the glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) redox balance is vital for the developing embryo, but regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. We developed a novel, mechanistic mass-balance model for GSH metabolism in the organogenesis stage (gestational day 10.0-11.13) rat conceptus predicting the dynamics of 8 unique metabolites in 3 conceptal compartments: the visceral yolk sac (VYS), the extra-embryonic fluid (EEF) and the embryo proper (EMB). Our results show that thiol concentrations in all compartments are well predicted by the model. Protein synthesis is predicted to be a major efflux pathway for all amino acid precursors of GSH synthesis and an essential model element. Our model provides quantitative insights in the transport fluxes and enzymatic fluxes needed to maintain thiol redox balances under normal physiological conditions. This is crucial to further elucidate the mechanisms through which chemical exposure can perturb redox homeostasis, causing oxidative stress, and potentially birth defects.

Abstract
Background It is standard practice to image concerning bruises in children. We aim to compare the clarity and measurements of bruises using cross polarized, infra-red (IR) and ultra-violet (UV) images to conventional images. Methods Children aged <11 years with incidental bruising were recruited. Demographics, skin and bruise details were recorded. Bruises were imaged by standard protocols in conventional, cross-polarized, IR and UV lights. Bruises were assessed in vivo for contrast, uniformity and diffuseness, and these characteristics were then compared across image modalities. Color images (conventional, cross polarized) were segmented and measured by ImageJ. Bruises of grey scale images (IR, UV) were measured by a ‘plug in’ of ImageJ. The maximum and minimum Feret's diameter, area and aspect ratio, were determined. Comparison of measurements across imaging modalities was conducted using Wilcoxon rank sum tests and modified Bland-Altman graphs. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results Twenty five children had 39 bruises. Bruises that were of low contrast, i.e. difficult to distinguish from surrounding skin, were also more diffuse, and less uniformity in vivo. Low contrast bruises were best seen on conventional and cross-polarized images and less distinctive on IR and UV images. Of the 19 bruises visible in all modalities, the only significant difference was maximum and minimum Feret's diameters and area were smaller on IR compared to conventional images. Aspect ratios were not affected by the modality. Conclusions Conventional and cross-polarized imaging provides the most consistent bruise measurement, particularly in bruises that are not easily distinguished from surrounding skin visually. Diffuse bruises may be measured on conventional & cross polarized imaging. Infrared or ultraviolet imaging may not show bruises which are difficult to see in vivo. Measurements of bruises using infrared imaging may be smaller than other modalities.
