Abstract
Flare gun injuries are rare, and patients often present with complex trauma that may require multiple operative interventions. Our objective is to explore a case of a 15-year-old male, who presented with second-degree flame burns to the face, left upper extremity and bilateral hands, as well as third-degree burns to the oropharynx and a tongue laceration after a flare gun was discharged into his mouth. The patient underwent multiple debridements of the oral cavity and oropharynx, and his hospital course was complicated by an intra-oral abscess. He eventually made a full recovery and was discharged. This case not only illustrates the need for early operative intervention, but it also underscores the need for awareness campaigns that highlight the dangers of flare guns and similar devices.

Abstract
Patterns of insecure attachment are associated with psychopathology but the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Cognitive science proposes that attachment patterns are influenced by the autobiographical memory system and in turn influence its ongoing functioning. Disturbances in autobiographical memory represent cognitive risks for later emotional difficulties. We systemically reviewed 33 studies (in 28 articles) examining the association between attachment patterns and autobiographical episodic memory (AEM) in individuals from the age of 16 (i.e., from young to older adulthood). Attachment patterns were associated with key areas of AEM phenomenology, including intensity and arousal; detail, specificity, and vividness; coherence and fragmentation; and accuracy and latency. These associations appeared to be moderated by contextual and individual factors; mediated by emotional regulation and schema-based processing; linked to mental health outcomes. Attachment patterns may also influence the impact of certain AEM-based manipulations. We conclude by providing a critical discussion and a research agenda for bringing together attachment, memory, and emotion, with a view to promote mechanism-driven treatment innovation in clinical psychology.

Abstract
AIMS The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management in clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutively hospitalised adult NSTEMI patients (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 and 6 March 2021, and individual patient data prospectively collected at 287 centres in 59 participating countries during a two-week enrolment period per centre. The registry collected data relating to baseline characteristics, major outcomes (in-hospital death, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bleeding, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and 30-day mortality) and guideline-recommended NSTEMI care interventions: electrocardiogram pre- or in-hospital, pre-hospitalization receipt of aspirin, echocardiography, coronary angiography, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, smoking cessation advice, dietary advice, and prescription on discharge of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blocker, and statin. CONCLUSION The EORP NSTEMI Registry is an international, prospective registry of care and outcomes of patients treated for NSTEMI, which will provide unique insights into the contemporary management of hospitalised NSTEMI patients, compliance with ESC 2015 NSTEMI Guidelines, and identify potential barriers to optimal management of this common clinical presentation associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that HER2 and MET receptor tyrosine kinases are co-overexpressed in a subset esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We therefore studied the usefulness of combining HER2 and MET targeting by small-molecule inhibitors lapatinib and foretinib, respectively, both in in-vitro and in-vivo models of experimental EAC. We characterized MET and HER2 activation in a panel of human EAC cell lines, and the differential susceptibility of these EAC cell lines to single agent or combination of foretinib and lapatinib. We then explored the antitumor efficacy with survival advantage following foretinib and lapatinib monotherapy and in combination in murine subcutaneous xenograft and peritoneal metastatic survival models of human EAC. The OE33 EAC cell line with strong expression of phosphorylated both MET and HER2, demonstrated reduced sensitivity to foretinib and lapatinib when used as a single agent. The co-administration of foretinib and lapatinib effectively inhibited both MET and HER2 phosphorylation, enhanced inhibition of cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth by inducing apoptosis, and significantly enhanced mouse overall survival, overcoming single agent resistance. In the OE19 EAC cell line with mainly HER2 phosphorylation, and the ESO51 EAC cell line with mainly MET phosphorylation, profound cell growth inhibition with induction of apoptosis was observed in response to single agent with lack of enhanced growth inhibition when the two agents were combined. These data suggest that combination therapy with foretinib and lapatinib should be tested as a treatment option for HER2 positive patients with MET-overexpressing EAC, and could be a novel treatment strategy for specific EAC patients.

Abstract
AIM Public health systems have embraced health informatics and information technology as a potential transformational tool to improve real-time surveillance systems, communication, and sharing of information among various agencies. Global pandemic outbreaks like Zika and Ebola were quickly controlled due to electronic surveillance systems enabling efficient information access and exchange. However, there is the need for a more robust technology to enhance adequate epidemic forecasting, data sharing, and effective communication. The purpose of this review was to examine the use of informatics and information technology tools and its impact on public health delivery. METHOD Investigators searched six electronic databases. These were MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) Complete, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, COMPENDEX, Scopus, and Academic Search Premier from January 2000 to 31 March 2016. RESULTS A total of 60 articles met the eligibility criteria for inclusion. These studies were organized into three areas as (1) definition of the term public health informatics; (2) type of public health surveillance systems and implications for public health; and (3) electronic surveillance systems functionality, capability, training, and challenges. Our analysis revealed that due to the growing expectations to provide real-time response and population-centered evidence-based public health in this information-driven age there has been a surge in informatics and information technology adoption. Education and training programs are now available to equip public health students and professionals with skills in public health informatics. However, obstacles including interoperability, data standardization, privacy, and technology transfer persist. CONCLUSION Re-engineering the delivery of public health is necessary to meet the demands of the 21st century and beyond. To meet this expectation, public health must invest in workforce development and capacity through education and training in informatics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sexual behaviour towards another person who does not or cannot consent to it causes serious harm to its victims. Understandable tendencies towards isolating or shaming the offenders, however, may actually increase risks of recidivism and further such harms. AIM The study aims to consider evidence for the effectiveness of interventions for sex offenders, mainly in a U.K. context, across four areas: criminal justice system programmes, medication, interventions for sex offenders with personality disorder and a community-based model for the reintegration-Circles of Support and Accountability, and identify key evidence gaps. METHODS We searched for reviews in the following four strands of work-psychosocial programmes, medication, personality focused therapies, and Circles of Support and Accountability-and identified gaps in knowledge. FINDINGS Randomised controlled trials in this field are rare but have been achieved. Findings from more naturalistic outcome studies of sex offender treatment programmes are disappointing, but recidivism rates among released sex offender prisoners are low, regardless. Medication relying on substantial physiological change raises substantial ethical concerns. Not all sex offenders have a mental disorder but up to half have been diagnosed with a personality disorder, which may need specific treatment. Evidence is growing that lay work such as Circles of Support and Accountability is a valuable adjunct to other interventions. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH In this field, where tensions between attributions swing between "madness" and "badness," there is growing evidence for optimism that complexity of history and presentation can be met through cooperation between the many disciplines, integrative strategies, and wider community engagement. The need now is for large, prospective controlled trials of interventions, with long periods of follow-up. Perhaps, the most exciting developments have come from the wider public. More research into the qualities of these volunteers might inform public education and health strategies supporting wider safety.

Abstract
Introduction: A major target for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) therapies is the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Unfortunately, patients treated with lapatinib, a dual EGFR and HER2 inhibitor, frequently develop resistance. Lapatinib fails to improve patient survival in HER2-postive EAC, and the mechanisms contributing to resistance remain largely unknown. Recent studies have demonstrated that HER2 and MET receptor tyrosine kinases are co-overexpressed in a subset EAC. In this study, we therefore studied the role of MET activation in lapatinib resistance mechanisms in experimental EAC.
Methods: We first characterized MET and HER2 activation in a panel of human EAC cell lines, and the differential susceptibility of these EAC cell lines to single agent or combination of MET and HER2 inhibitions by foretinib and lapatinib, respectively. We then explored the antitumor efficacy with survival advantage following foretinib and lapatinib monotherapy and in combination in murine subcutaneous xenograft and peritoneal metastatic survival models of human EAC. We also tested MET and HER activation status with sensitivity to their inhibitors in newly generated lapatinib resistant OE19 EAC cells (OE19-LPR).
Results: The OE33 EAC cell line with phosphorylation of both MET and HER2, demonstrated reduced sensitivity to foretinib and lapatinib when used as single agents. The co-administration of foretinib and lapatinib effectively inhibited both MET and HER2 phosphorylation, synergistically inhibited cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth, induced apoptosis, and significantly enhanced overall mouse survival, thus overcoming single agent resistance. In the OE19 EAC cell line with only HER2 phosphorylation and the ESO51 EAC cell line with only MET phosphorylation, profound cell growth inhibition with induction of apoptosis was observed in response to single agent with lack of enhanced growth inhibition when the two agents were combined. Interestingly, OE19-LPR cells showed significant upregulated expression of phosphorylated MET compared to parent OE19 cells, detected by both Activesignal assay and Western blot analysis. In addition, OE19-LPR cells showed significantly reduced sensitivity to lapatinib compared to parent OE19 cells, and the co-administration of foretinib and lapatinib synergistically inhibited cell proliferation in OE19-LPR cells.
Conclusion: These data suggest that resistance to HER2 targeted therapies in HER2 and MET overexpressed EAC cells can be due to MET activation. Thus MET and HER2 targeted therapy appears to be a sensible treatment strategy for HER2 positive MET-overexpressing EAC.

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
Biosurveillance is crucial to detect, identify and minimise the negative consequences of infectious disease. Its value to society and importance to global public health and global health security are growing. Despite the long history and global importance of biosurveillance, a systematic review of all existing biosurveillance systems across the 'One Health' spectrum has not yet been published. This study conducted a systematic review to identify all extant and defunct biosurveillance systems from 1900 to 2016. Of the 815 systems examined, the majority surveyed human, animal or plant data discretely. Some 105 collected human and animal data, whereas only 31 collected data on all three categories. The authors found a large increase in the number of global biosurveillance systems between 1900 and 2008, but a reduction in the number of biosurveillance systems from 2008 to the present. The number of syndromic systems created, versus laboratory-based biosurveillance systems, increased rapidly after 1980 across the globe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) shows genetic predisposition, however, large-scale, powered gene mapping studies are lacking. We sought to exploit existing genetic (genotype) and epidemiological (questionnaire) data from a series of population-based cohorts for IBS genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and their meta-analysis. METHODS Based on questionnaire data compatible with Rome III Criteria, we identified a total of 1335 IBS cases and 9768 asymptomatic individuals from 5 independent European genotyped cohorts. Individual GWAS were carried out with sex-adjusted logistic regression under an additive model, followed by meta-analysis using the inverse variance method. Functional annotation of significant results was obtained via a computational pipeline exploiting ontology and interaction networks, and tissue-specific and gene set enrichment analyses. KEY RESULTS Suggestive GWAS signals (P ≤ 5.0 × 10-6 ) were detected for 7 genomic regions, harboring 64 gene candidates to affect IBS risk via functional or expression changes. Functional annotation of this gene set convincingly (best FDR-corrected P = 3.1 × 10-10 ) highlighted regulation of ion channel activity as the most plausible pathway affecting IBS risk. CONCLUSION & INFERENCES Our results confirm the feasibility of population-based studies for gene-discovery efforts in IBS, identify risk genes and loci to be prioritized in independent follow-ups, and pinpoint ion channels as important players and potential therapeutic targets warranting further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
Sexual interest in children is one of the most strongly predictive of the known risk factors for sexual reconviction. It is an important aspect of risk assessment to identify the presence of such interest, and an important task for treatment providers to address such a sexual interest where it is present. It has been argued that understanding pedophiles' deviant sexual interest in children can enhance risk assessment, management, and treatment planning. This research study aims to explore the phenomenology of deviant sexual interest in children, the impact it has on pedophilic offenders' identities, and their views on the treatability of that interest. The study used semistructured interviews and repertory grids to make sense of participants' experiences. The results revealed three superordinate themes: "'living' with a deviant sexual interest," "relational sexual self," and "possible and feared sexual self." The analysis unpacks these themes and repertory grid analysis is used to explore a subset of participants' identities in more detail. The results reveal that there needs to be an acceptance from both client and therapist that their sexual interest in children may never go away. Through this acceptance, clients could work on enhancing sexual self-regulation, recognizing their triggers, and so managing their sexual thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Implications for treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Recent studies have demonstrated that HER2 and MET receptor tyrosine kinases are co-overexpressed in a subset esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We therefore studied the usefulness of combining HER2 and MET targeting by small-molecule inhibitors foretinib and lapatinib both in-vitro and in-vivo models of experimental EAC.
Methods: In this study we first characterized MET and HER2 activation in a panel of human EAC cell lines and the differential susceptibility of these EAC cell lines to single agents or combinations of foretinib, a multi-kinase MET inhibitor, with HER2 targeted agent lapatinib. We evaluated the levels of phosphorylation status of MET and HER2 proteins using western blot in EAC cell lines. Foretinib and lapatinib, as single agent or in combination were tested for effect on cell growth as detected by WST-1 assay and on cell apoptosis as detected by western blot of cleavage of caspase 3 and poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP). In addition, we explored the antitumor efficacy with survival advantage following foretinib and lapatinib mono and combination therapies for two weeks in murine subcutaneous xenograft and peritoneal metastatic survival models of human EAC.
Results: The OE33 EAC cell line with phosphorylation of both MET and HER2, demonstrated reduced sensitivity to foretinib and lapatinib when used as a single agent. The co-administration of foretinib and lapatinib effectively inhibited both MET and HER2 phosphorylation, synergistically inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis, overcoming single agent resistance. In the OE19 EAC cell line with only HER2 phosphorylation and the ESO51 EAC cell line with only MET phosphorylation, profound cell growth inhibition with induction of apoptosis was observed in response to single agent foretinib and lapatinib, respectively, with lack of enhanced growth inhibition when the two drugs were combined. Foretinib in combination with lapatinib treatment resulted in significantly higher antitumor efficacy and survival benefit compared with foretinib or lapatinib treatment alone. In subcutaneous xenografts using OE33 cells, average net tumor growth after two weeks in different therapy groups was 247.83 mm3 in control, 216.71 mm3 after foretinib (p=0.49), 239.68 mm3 after lapatinib (p=0.74), and 108.06 mm3 after foretinib plus lapatinib (p=0.0011). In the OE33 survival model there was a significant increase in median animal survival after two weeks foretinib plus lapatinib treatment (71 days) compared to control (60 days, p=0.0021), to foretinib therapy (63 days, p=0.0019) or to lapatinib (61 days, p=0.0019) therapy.
Conclusion: These data suggest that combination therapy with foretinib and lapatinib should be tested as a treatment option for HER2 positive patients with MET-overexpressing EAC. Therefore, this combination therapy could be a novel treatment strategy for EAC with MET and HER co-activation.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is the fastest growing cancer in the western world and the overall 5 year survival rate of EAC is below 20 percent. Most patients with EAC present with locally advanced or widespread metastatic disease, where current treatment is largely ineffective. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Epidemiological studies have linked obesity with EAC. IGF signaling is an important mediator in obesity-associated EAC. Paclitaxel (PT) has been used in combination with carboplatin as a standard combination therapy for advanced EAC. PT required emulsification with solvents which has resulted in serious adverse effects in patients. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is an albumin-stabilized, cremophor-free and water soluble nanoparticle formulation of PT. Nab-paclitaxel has recently shown greater efficacy over PT in EAC. Here we evaluated the improvement in nab-paclitaxel response by addition of BMS-754807, a small molecule inhibitor of IGF-1R/IR signaling, in experimental EAC.
Methods: We first evaluated the phosphorylation status of IGF-1R/IR protein by western blot in a panel of EAC cell lines. BMS-754807 and nab-paclitaxel, alone or in combination were tested for effects on cell growth detected by WST-1 assay and on cell apoptosis detected by western blot of cleavage of caspase 3 and PARP. We then explored the antitumor efficacy with survival advantage following BMS-754807 and nab-paclitaxel mono and combination therapies in murine subcutaneous xenograft and peritoneal metastatic survival models of human EAC.
Results: BMS-754807 dose dependently inhibited in-vitro cell proliferation of OE19 and FLO-1 EAC cell lines having strong tyrosine phosphorylation of IGF-1R/IR protein and interestingly the addition of IC25 dose of BMS-754807 significantly decreased the nab-paclitaxel IC50 in these EAC cells. In addition, co-administration of BMS-754807 and nab-paclitaxel effectively enhanced cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP in these EAC cells. In subcutaneous xenografts using OE19 cells, average net tumor growth after two weeks in different therapy groups was 558.67 mm3 in control, 208.47 mm3 after BMS-754807 (p=0.043), 104.60 mm3 after nab-paclitaxel (p=0.013), and 14.30 mm3 after BMS-754807 plus nab-paclitaxel (p=0.0005). In OE19 EAC survival model there was a significant increase in median animal survival after two weeks BMS-754807 plus nab-paclitaxel treatment (85 days) compared to control (47 days, p=0.0034), to BMS-754807 therapy (57 days, p=0.0021) or to nab-paclitaxel (68 days, p=0.0339) therapy.
Conclusion: Thus BMS-754807 with nab-paclitaxel treatment resulted in significantly higher antitumor efficacy and survival benefit. These results support the potential of BMS-754807 in combination with nab-paclitaxel as an effective option for EAC therapy.

Abstract
Fatty liver is a common condition affecting dairy cattle during the periparturient period, characterized by a pathological accumulation of triglycerides (TG) in the hepatocytes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of fine needle aspiration cytology in fresh liver specimens using liver TG concentrations as a gold standard. Fifty-seven liver samples from Holstein cows were collected during processing at a slaughterhouse. Tissue and fine needle aspirate samples were obtained from the parietal upper portion of the caudate lobe. Two samples of liver tissue were collected with a 16 gauge × 15 cm biopsy needle for histological and TG concentration assessment. A third sample was collected for cytology using an 18 gauge × 5.08 cm needle. The contents of the needle were transferred to a glass slide, spread, and air-dried. Liver samples were assayed by colorimetry/fluorimetry to determine TG concentrations. Concentrations of TG <2% were considered normal. Histological and cytological evaluations were conducted by 2 different pathologists blind to the visual classification. Sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) were calculated. Cytology had a Se and Sp of 73 and 85%, respectively. Histopathology had a Se and Sp of 45.9 and 100%, respectively. The likelihood of having higher scores for histopathology and cytology increased as a function of liver TG content (mg/g).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased tender spots and lowered general pain thresholds have been observed in patients with dyspareunia. Based on this, the aim of the study was to compare the co-occurrence of female sexual pain across various pain populations and to further explore the aetiological structure underlying sexual pain by dissecting the genetic and environmental covariation among sexual pain, chronic widespread pain (CWP) and the previously reported psychological correlates of anxiety sensitivity and depression. METHODS A multivariate twin study including 1489 female twin individuals (246 full MZ pairs, 187 full DZ pairs and 623 whose co-twin did not participate). Main outcomes measures included self-reported diagnosis of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and validated questionnaires for the assessment of sexual pain, CWP, depression and anxiety sensitivity. RESULTS Sexual pain showed a small but statistically significant correlation with CWP (r = 0.08; p < 0.05), anxiety sensitivity (r = 0.15, p < 0.001) and depression (r = 0.09, p < 0.01). The heritability of sexual pain was found to be 31%. Multivariate variance component analysis revealed a genetic factor common among CWP, depression, anxiety sensitivity and sexual pain, and a second genetic factor shared between anxiety sensitivity and sexual pain only. We further detected genetic and environmental factors unique to sexual pain, explaining 24.01% and 67.24%, respectively, of the phenotypic variance. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest some overlap between sexual pain and CWP and point towards a shared but complex psychophysiological aetiology underlying sexual pain. Results further highlight the influence of specific environmental and contextual stressors in the development and maintenance of sexual pain. SIGNIFICANCE Sexual pain shares a common genetic aetiology with chronic widespread pain and the frequently reported psychological comorbidities of depression and anxiety. Overall this suggests a complex psychophysiological aetiology underlying chronic pain conditions. The high proportion of variance in sexual pain explained by environmental factors further highlights the importance of specific environmental and contextual stressors in the development and maintenance of the condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bell's palsy or acute idiopathic lower motor neurone facial paralysis is characterized by sudden onset paralysis or weakness of the muscles to one side of the face controlled by the facial nerve. While there is high level evidence in adults demonstrating an improvement in the rate of complete recovery of facial nerve function when treated with steroids compared with placebo, similar high level studies on the use of steroids in Bell's palsy in children are not available. The aim of this study is to assess the utility of steroids in Bell's palsy in children in a randomised placebo-controlled trial. METHODS/DESIGN We are conducting a randomised, triple-blinded, placebo controlled trial of the use of prednisolone to improve recovery from Bell's palsy at 1 month. Study sites are 10 hospitals within the Australian and New Zealand PREDICT (Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative) research network. 540 participants will be enrolled. To be eligible patients need to be aged 6 months to < 18 years and present within 72 hours of onset of clinician diagnosed Bell's palsy to one of the participating hospital emergency departments. Patients will be excluded in case of current use of or contraindications to steroids or if there is an alternative diagnosis. Participants will receive either prednisolone 1 mg/kg/day to a maximum of 50 mg/day or taste matched placebo for 10 days. The primary outcome is complete recovery by House-Brackmann scale at 1 month. Secondary outcomes include assessment of recovery using the Sunnybrook scale, the emotional and functional wellbeing of the participants using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and Child Health Utility 9D Scale, pain using Faces Pain Scale Revised or visual analogue scales, synkinesis using a synkinesis assessment questionnaire and health utilisation costs at 1, 3 and 6 months. Participants will be tracked to 12 months if not recovered earlier. Data analysis will be by intention to treat with primary outcome presented as differences in proportions and an odds ratio adjusted for site and age. DISCUSSION This large multicenter randomised trial will allow the definitive assessment of the efficacy of prednisolone compared with placebo in the treatment of Bell's palsy in children. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12615000563561 (1 June 2015).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the regurgitation of gastric acids often accompanied by heartburn, affects up to 20% of the general population. Genetic predisposition is suspected from twin and family studies but gene-hunting efforts have so far been scarce and no conclusive genome-wide study has been reported. We exploited data available from general population samples, and studied self-reported reflux symptoms in relation to genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes. METHODS We performed a GWAS meta-analysis of three independent population-based cohorts from Sweden, Finland, and UK. GERD cases (n=2247) and asymptomatic controls (n=4503) were identified using questionnaire-derived symptom data. Upon stringent quality controls, genotype data for more than 2.5M markers were used for association testing. Bioinformatic characterization of genomic regions associated with GERD included gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA), in silico prediction of genetic risk effects on gene expression, and computational analysis of drug-induced gene expression signatures using Connectivity Map (cMap). KEY RESULTS We identified 30 GERD suggestive risk loci (P≤5×10-5 ), with concordant risk effects in all cohorts, and predicted functional effects on gene expression in relevant tissues. GSEA revealed involvement of GERD risk genes in biological processes associated with the regulation of ion channel and cell adhesion. From cMap analysis, omeprazole had significant effects on GERD risk gene expression, while antituberculosis and anti-inflammatory drugs scored highest among the repurposed compounds. CONCLUSIONS We report a large-scale genetic study of GERD, and highlight genes and pathways that contribute to further our understanding of its pathogenesis and therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
Opsonophagocytic assays (OPAs) are routinely used for assessing the immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccines, with OPA data often being utilized for licensure of new vaccine formulations. However, no reference serum for pneumococcal OPAs is available, making evaluation of data among different laboratories difficult. This international collaboration was initiated to (i) assign consensus opsonic indexes (OIs) to FDA pneumococcal reference serum lot 007sp (here referred to as 007sp) and a panel of serum samples used for calibration of the OPA and (ii) determine if the normalization of the OPA results obtained with test samples to those obtained with 007sp decreases the variability in OPA results among laboratories. To meet these goals, six participating laboratories tested a panel of serum samples in five runs for 13 serotypes. For each serum sample, consensus OIs were obtained using a mixed-effects analysis of variance model. For the calibration serum samples, normalized consensus values were also determined on the basis of the results obtained with 007sp. For each serotype, the overall reduction in interlaboratory variability was calculated by comparing the coefficients of variation of the unadjusted and the normalized values. Normalization of the results substantially reduced the interlaboratory variability, ranging from a 15% reduction in variability for serotype 9V to a 64% reduction for serotype 7F. Normalization also increased the proportion of data within 2-fold of the consensus value from approximately 70% (average for all serotypes) to >90%. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, pneumococcal reference standard lot 007sp will likely be a useful reagent for the normalization of pneumococcal OPA results from different laboratories. The data also support the use of the 16 FDA serum samples used for calibration of the OPA as part of the initial evaluation of new assays or periodic assessment of established assays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocturnal benzodiazepines have a significant negative health impact on the elderly, yet they continue to be used. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess elderly patients' use and knowledge of nocturnal benzodiazepines, and their attitudes to cessation. METHODS Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with elderly patients (n = 17) from four general practices in Australia. RESULTS Our study found that the initiation of benzodiazepine use was often at a time of stress for the patient. Long-term use was not in-tended, and patients conveyed poor awareness of the side effects and addictive potential of benzodiazepines. Patients' perceived attitudes of their general practitioner (GP) to prescribing benzodiazepines and lack of awareness of alternative therapies were key to continuation. Confounding factors such as pain often contributed to sleep disturbance. Many patients expressed a willingness to cease nocturnal benzodiazepine use. DISCUSSION These data assist in raising GPs' awareness of patients' attitudes to cessation of nocturnal benzodiazepine use. More time spent with patients presenting for repeat prescriptions, explaining side effects, discussing alternative options and investigating reasons for not sleeping could reduce benzodiazepine use among the elderly.

Abstract
AIM To assess factors contributing to cord venous glucose homeostasis in term infants delivered by elective cesarean section. METHODS Observational study of women-infant pairs at delivery. Biochemical and clinical data were collected about factors which might affect the levels of glucose, lactate, norepinephrine, epinephrine, cortisol, human growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin. RESULTS In the context of this data-set, three models explained a substantial amount regarding the variation: 79% of the variation in cord glucose levels is explained by levels of maternal glucose, cord venous pH, and cord lactate; 77% of the variation of cord lactate is explained by levels of cord venous pH, valine, maternal lactate and glucose, and cord norepinephrine; and 71% of the variation in cord norepinephrine is explained by levels of cord venous pO2, maternal lactate, cord insulin, cord GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), cord lactate, cord epinephrine, cord norepinephrine sulfate, and cord valine. CONCLUSIONS Term infants delivered by cesarean section are relatively hyperinsulinemic (insulin:glucose ratio of 2.4) and glucose levels are strongly associated with maternal glucose levels, cord pO2, and lactate levels. There were no associations with levels of cord glucose and levels of cortisol, epinephrine and lactate, which have been shown to be important contributors to postnatal glucose homeostasis in some infant groups.

Abstract
Close relationships between older adults and their health-care professionals in community settings can enhance wellbeing and support positive health in older age. In rural areas, health-care workers may know their patients socially as well as professionally, and roles are mediated. This article reports the findings from 16 qualitative interviews with older adults and health and social care professionals in rural areas of Wales. The study found that the sharing of nonclinical information in rural home-care situations is both likely and desirable, supporting the sense of social connectedness experienced by the older adult, contributing towards the development of the nurse/carer-client relationship and improving older adult wellbeing. However, it is recognised that there is potential for boundaries to become blurred and, in some situations, nurses and carers may need support to negotiate the divide between appropriate and inappropriate disclosure while maintaining a close relationship with the older adult.

Abstract
Ice volume (and hence sea level) and deep-sea temperature are key measures of global climate change. Sea level has been documented using several independent methods over the past 0.5 million years (Myr). Older periods, however, lack such independent validation; all existing records are related to deep-sea oxygen isotope (δ(18)O) data that are influenced by processes unrelated to sea level. For deep-sea temperature, only one continuous high-resolution (Mg/Ca-based) record exists, with related sea-level estimates, spanning the past 1.5 Myr. Here we present a novel sea-level reconstruction, with associated estimates of deep-sea temperature, which independently validates the previous 0-1.5 Myr reconstruction and extends it back to 5.3 Myr ago. We find that deep-sea temperature and sea level generally decreased through time, but distinctly out of synchrony, which is remarkable given the importance of ice-albedo feedbacks on the radiative forcing of climate. In particular, we observe a large temporal offset during the onset of Plio-Pleistocene ice ages, between a marked cooling step at 2.73 Myr ago and the first major glaciation at 2.15 Myr ago. Last, we tentatively infer that ice sheets may have grown largest during glacials with more modest reductions in deep-sea temperature.

Abstract
This paper summarises the study protocol for the randomised controlled trial of iodine supplementation in preterm infants. Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroxine, and thyroxine is essential for normal brain development in utero and for the first 2-3 years of life. The recommended iodine intake in parenteral nutrition regimens is 1 μg/kg/day and commercially available parenteral solutions for infants reflect these recommendations. In the absence of other iodine sources, infants are vulnerable to negative iodine balance and insufficiency. As many preterm infants are fed parenterally for prolonged periods with solutions which have been shown to be iodine-deficient, the I2S2 Trial was designed to establish whether iodine supplementation of preterm infants benefits neurodevelopment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the capacity of a rapid T2 weighted three-dimensional (3D) sequence to diagnose foetal brain abnormalities by comparing the results with current two-dimensional (2D) methods. We have also made assessments of the estimates of energy deposition using those methods. METHODS 50 pregnant females were included in this study under the guidance of the institutional review board. All their foetuses had suspected brain abnormalities on antenatal ultrasonography or were at increased risk of a brain malformation based on the results of an earlier pregnancy. All the foetuses had a routine MR protocol that includes three orthogonal plane single-shot fast-spin echoes and 2D steady-state sequences. In addition, a 3D rapid steady-state sequence of the foetal brain was performed (acquisition time approximately 40 s), and the standard and 3D sequences were reported independently and the results were compared. The specific absorption rate (SAR) predicted by the scanner was recorded in 12 cases in order to estimate the energy deposited by the three sequences. RESULTS The 3D rapid steady-state sequences produced diagnostic-quality images in 41/50 (82%) cases. All the failures were in second trimester foetuses (9/26-35% failure rate). There was a discrepancy between the standard report and findings using the 3D sequence in 2/41 of the foetuses with good-quality 3D imaging. The predicted SAR deposition of the 3D steady-state sequences was comparable with the single-shot fast-spin echo sequence. CONCLUSION Our initial assessments of a 3D rapid steady-state sequence to image the foetus are encouraging in terms of diagnostic information and acceptable energy deposition values. The high failure rate in second trimester foetuses probably relates to the greater mobility of the smaller foetuses, and improvements in the 3D sequence are required in terms of reduced acquisition time and higher resolution. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE We have shown that 3D T2 weighted images of the foetal brain can be acquired in a clinical setting and produce diagnostic-quality imaging in a high proportion of cases. The success rate in acquiring diagnostic-quality images is related to gestational age. Good-quality images were obtained in all third trimester foetuses but only in approximately two-thirds of second trimester foetuses. This probably reflects the problem of the greater mobility of second trimester foetuses. 3D T2 weighted acquisitions have great potential for improving the antenatal diagnosis of foetal brain abnormalities and may reduce the time that a pregnant female needs to spend on the MR scanner.

Abstract
CONTEXT Mild maternal thyroid dysfunction during early pregnancy is associated with poor neurodevelopment in affected offspring. Most studies are population based or are smaller populations of term/late preterm infants. No studies were found that focused on more preterm infants. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to describe the relationship between mild maternal thyroid dysfunction at delivery of infants born ≤34 wk and neurodevelopment at 5.5 yr. DESIGN The study design was follow-up of women and children recruited in Scotland between 1998 and 2001. MAIN OUTCOME We evaluated delivery levels of maternal TSH, free T(4) (FT(4)), and T(4) and the association with McCarthy Scale scores adjusted for 26 confounders of neurodevelopment. RESULTS Maternal serum levels and McCarthy scores were available for 143 women and 166 children. After adjustment for confounders, there were significant 3.2, 2.1, and 1.8 point decrements, respectively, in general cognitive index, verbal subscale, and the perceptual performance subscale for each milliunit per liter increment in maternal TSH. Maternal FT(4) levels were variably associated with neurodevelopment. After adjustment, significant associations were found for the general cognitive index, motor scale, and quantitative subscale; each picomole per liter decrease in FT(4) was associated with an increase of 1.5, 1.7, and 0.9 points, respectively. Maternal T(4) levels showed little relationship with neurodevelopment. None of the women in this analysis had overt hypothyroidism, but mild hypothyroidism was evident in 27%; thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) was ≥ 40 U/ml in 28% of the women. CONCLUSIONS Higher maternal levels of TSH at delivery of infants born preterm were associated with significantly lower scores on the general cognitive index at 5.5 yr.

Abstract
Our objective was to assess junior doctors' perceptions of their antibiotic prescribing practice and of bacterial resistance. We surveyed 190 postgraduate doctors still in training at two university teaching hospitals, in Nice (France) and Dundee (Scotland, UK), and 139 of them (73%) responded to the survey. The main results presented in this abstract are combined for Nice and Dundee, because there was no statistical difference for these points between the two hospitals. Antibiotic resistance was perceived as a national problem by 95% of the junior doctors, but only 63% rated the problem as important in their own daily practice. Their perceptions of the causes of antibiotic resistance were sometimes at variance with available medical evidence, with excessive duration of antibiotic treatment and poor hand hygiene practices rarely being perceived as important drivers for resistance. Only 31% and 26% of the doctors knew the correct prevalences of antibiotic misuse and of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in hospitals, respectively. They preferred educational interventions, such as specific teaching sessions, availability of guidelines or readily accessible advice from an infectious diseases specialist, to improve antibiotic prescribing, rather than restricted prescription of antibiotics. These data provide helpful information for the design of strategies to optimize adherence to good antimicrobial stewardship.

Abstract
CONTEXT Transient hypothyroxinemia is the commonest thyroid dysfunction of premature infants, and recent studies have found adverse associations with neurodevelopment. The validity of these associations is unclear because the studies adjusted for a differing range of factors likely to influence neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVE The aim was to describe the association of transient hypothyroxinemia with neurodevelopment at 5.5 yr corrected age. DESIGN We conducted a follow-up study of a cohort of infants born in Scotland from 1999 to 2001 ≤34 wk gestation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We measured scores on the McCarthy scale adjusted for 26 influences of neurodevelopment including parental intellect, home environment, breast or formula fed, growth retardation, and use of postnatal drugs. RESULTS A total of 442 infants ≤34 wk gestation who had serum T(4) measurements on postnatal d 7, 14, or 28 and 100 term infants who had serum T(4) measured in cord blood were followed up at 5.5 yr. Infants with hypothyroxinemia (T(4) level ≤ 10th percentile on d 7, 14, or 28 corrected for gestational age) scored significantly lower than euthyroid infants (T(4) level greater than the 10th percentile and less than the 90th percentile on all days) on all McCarthy scales, except the quantitative. After adjustment for confounders of neurodevelopment, hypothyroxinemic infants scored significantly lower than euthyroid infants on the general cognitive and verbal scales. CONCLUSIONS Our findings do not support the view that the hypothyroxinemic state, in the context of this analysis, is harmless in preterm infants. Many factors contribute both to the etiology of hypothyroxinemia and neurodevelopment; strategies for correction of hypothyroxinemia should acknowledge its complex etiology and not rely solely on one approach.
