Abstract
PURPOSE Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the commonest cause of adult spinal cord dysfunction worldwide, for which surgery is the mainstay of treatment. At present, there is limited literature on the costs associated with the surgical management of DCM, and none from the United Kingdom (UK). This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of DCM surgery within the National Health Service, UK. MATERIALS AND METHODS Incidence of DCM was identified from the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) database for a single year using five ICD-10 diagnostic codes to represent DCM. Health Resource Group (HRG) data was used to estimate the mean incremental surgery (treatment) costs compared to non-surgical care, and the incremental effect (quality adjusted life year (QALY) gain) was based on data from a previous study. A cost per QALY value of <£30,000/QALY (GBP) was considered acceptable and cost-effective, as per the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance. A sensitivity analysis was undertaken (±5%, ±10% and ±20%) to account for variance in both the cost of admission and QALY gain. RESULTS The total number of admissions for DCM in 2018 was 4,218. Mean age was 62 years, with 54% of admissions being of working age (18-65 years). The overall estimated cost of admissions for DCM was £38,871,534 for the year. The mean incremental (per patient) cost of surgical management of DCM was estimated to be £9,216 (ranged £2,358 to £9,304), with a QALY gain of 0.64, giving an estimated cost per QALY value of £14,399/QALY. Varying the QALY gain by ±20%, resulted in cost/QALY figures between £12,000 (+20%) and £17,999 (-20%). CONCLUSIONS Surgery is estimated to be a cost-effective treatment of DCM amongst the UK population.

Abstract
AIM Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM) is a disabling condition arising from arthritic compression and consequent injury of the cervical spinal cord. Stratification of CSM severity has been useful to inform clinical practice and research analysis. In the UK the Myelopathy Disability Index (MDI) is a popular assessment tool and has been adopted by the British Spinal Registry. However, no categories of severity exist. Therefore, the aim of this study was to define categories of mild, moderate and severe. METHOD An anchor-based analysis was carried out on previously collected data from a prospective observational cohort (N = 404) of patients with CSM scheduled for surgery and assessed pre-operatively and at 3, 12, 24 and 60 months post-operatively. Outcomes collected included the SF-36 version-1 quality of life measure, visual analogue scales for neck/arm/hand pain, MDI and Neck Disability Index (NDI). A Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) analysis, using the NDI for an anchor-based approach, was performed to identify MDI thresholds. RESULTS Complete data was available for 404 patients (219 Men, 185 Women). The majority of patients underwent anterior surgery (284, 70.3%). ROC curves plotted to identify the thresholds from mild to moderate to severe disease, selected optimal thresholds of 4-5 (AUC 0.83) and 8-9 (AUC 0.87). These MDI categories were validated against domains of the SF36 and VAS scores with expected positive linear correlations. CONCLUSION Categories of mild, moderate and severe CSM according to the MDI of 4-5 and 8-9 were established based on the NDI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is estimated to affect 2% of the adult population. DCM occurs when degenerative processes cause compression and injure the spinal cord. Surgery to remove the stress caused by the compression of the spinal cord is the mainstay of treatment, with a range of techniques in use. Although various factors are described to inform the selection of these techniques, there needs to be more consensus and limited comparative evidence. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this survey was to explore the variation of practice and decision-making, with a focus on laminectomy versus laminectomy and fusion in posterior surgery of the cervical spine. We present the results of a survey conducted among the principal investigators (PIs) of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) randomized controlled trial on posterior laminectomy with fixation for degenerative cervical myelopathy (POLYFIX-DCM). METHODS A series of 7 cases were shared with 24 PIs using SurveyMonkey. Each case consisted of a midsagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and lateral cervical x-rays in flexion and extension. Surgeons were asked if their preferred approach was anterior or posterior. If posterior, they were asked whether they preferred to instrument and whether they had the equipoise to randomize in the NIHR POLYFIX-DCM trial. Variability in decision-making was then explored using factors reported to inform decision-making, such as alignment, location of compression, number of levels operated, presence of mobile spondylolisthesis, and patient age. RESULTS The majority of PIs (16/30, 53%) completed the survey. Overall, PIs favored a posterior approach (12/16, 75%) with instrumentation (75/112, average 66%) and would randomize (67/112, average 62%) most cases. Factors reported to inform decision-making poorly explained variability in responses in both univariate testing and with a multivariate model (R2=0.1). Only surgeon experience of more than 5 years and orthopedic specialty training background were significant predictors, both associated with an anterior approach (odds ratio [OR] 1.255; P=.02 and OR 1.344; P=.007, respectively) and fusion for posterior procedures (OR 0.628; P<.001 and OR 1.344; P<.001, respectively). Surgeon experience also significantly affected the openness to randomize, with those with more than 5 years of experience less likely to randomize (OR -0.68; P<.001). CONCLUSIONS In this representative sample of spine surgeons participating in the POLYFIX-DCM trial as investigators, there is no consensus on surgical strategy, including the role of instrumented fusion following posterior decompression. Overall, this study supports the view that there appears to be a clinical equipoise, and conceptually, a randomized controlled trial appears feasible, which sets the scene for the NIHR POLYFIX-DCM trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aim to compare the effectiveness of dural closure techniques in preventing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks following surgery for intradural lesions and seek to identify additional factors associated with CSF leaks. Surgical management of spinal intradural lesions involves durotomy which requires a robust repair to prevent postoperative CSF leakage. The ideal method of dural closure and the efficacy of sealants has not been established in literature. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all intradural spinal cases performed at a tertiary spine centre from 1 April 2015 to 29 January 2020 and collected data on patient bio-profile, dural repair technique, and CSF leak rates. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictors for postoperative CSF leak. RESULTS A total of 169 cases were reported during the study period. There were 15 cases in which postoperative CSF leak was reported (8.87%). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that patient age (odds ratio [OR], 0.942; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.891-0.996), surgical indication listed in the "others" category (OR, 44.608; 95% CI, 1.706-166.290) and dural closure with suture, sealant and patch (OR, 22.235; 95% CI, 2.578-191.798) were factors associated with CSF leak. Postoperative CSF leak was associated with the risk of surgical site infection with a likelihood ratio of 8.704 (χ² (1) = 14.633, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Identifying predictors for CSF leaks can assist in the counselling of patients with regard to surgical risk and expected postoperative recovery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a common and progressive neurological condition caused by injury of the cervical spinal cord by degenerative spinal pathology. Delayed diagnosis leading to avoidable and irreversible disability is a major current problem limiting patient outcomes. Lack of sufficient representation of DCM in undergraduate and postgraduate medical curricula may contribute to poor recognition of DCM by non-specialist doctors. The objective of this study was to assess the DCM teaching provision in UK medical schools and the DCM knowledge of UK medical students. METHODS UK medical students completed a web-based survey distributed nationally through university social media pages, university email bulletins and the national student network of Myelopathy.org. The survey comprised a 19-item questionnaire capturing data on student demographics, myelopathy teaching and myelopathy knowledge. Advertisements were repeated monthly over a 12-month recruitment period and participation was incentivised by entry into an Amazon voucher prize draw. Ethical approval for the study was granted by the Psychology Research Ethics Committee, University of Cambridge (PRE.2018.099). RESULTS A total of 751 medical students from 32 British medical schools completed the survey. Medical students from all year groups participated. Most students (520; 72%) had not received any medical school teaching about DCM. When students had received DCM teaching, the duration of teaching was minimal (75% < 1 h). A total of 350 students (47%) reported conducting private study on DCM. Modal student self-rating of their own knowledge of DCM was 'terrible' (356; 47%). There was no correlation between a student's subjective rating of their knowledge and their answers to objective questions. A total of 723 (96%) of students expressed interest in learning more about DCM, with lectures the preferred format. CONCLUSIONS DCM appears to be a neglected condition in medical education which has implications for clinical practice. However, student enthusiasm to undertake private study suggests future teaching interventions will be well-received. Future work is necessary to characterise the format of DCM teaching that is most effective and to subsequently measure how educational interventions translate into clinical benefits.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to examine the microbial quality of street-vended foods in
Sibasa and Thohoyandou markets of Thulamela Municipality, South Africa. Gravy, salad,
beef and chicken stews were randomly sampled from seven markets. Microbiological
international standard methods were used for the Total plate counts, coliform bacteria,
Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, yeast and
mould counts. The microbial counts (log10 CFU/g) of foods sold at Thohoyandou ranged
from 2.0±2.08 to too numerous to count for Total plate count, 2.0±1.00 to 6.6±7.57 for
Salmonella spp., 2.0±2.64 to 3.9±6.03 for S. aureus, 2.3±1.73 to too numerous to count
for yeast. At Sibasa, microbial counts (log10 CFU/g) ranged from 2.1±6.24 to 6.9±5.30 for
total plate count, 2.0±0.00 to 3.8±10.00 for coliform bacteria, 2.0±2.64 to 4.7±8.33 for
Salmonella spp., 2.0±6.03 to 3.9±9.30, for S. aureus, 2.1±1.00 to 3.7±39.58 for yeast and
2.0±1.15 to 4.9±21.66 for B. cereus. Mould was not detected in all the foods sold at both
locations. The total plate count was significantly different (P<0.05) between salads and
chicken stews. For Salmonella spp., significant differences (P<0.05) were observed
between salads and beef stews. For S. aureus, a significant difference was found in salads
(P<0.05). For yeast, significant differences (P<0.05) were observed between salads and
beef stews. The fact that most street-vended foods were contaminated with a range of
microorganisms is a matter of public concern. Department of Health, South Africa should
initiate a food safety program for the vendors to be trained in hygienic preparation of
foods and good sanitation practices to better safeguard the health and wellness of
consumers. There is also a need for Environmental Health Practitioners to mount a better
monitoring system that would contain selling street-vended food that is unfit for human
consumption.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Fractured Neck of Femur (FNOF) patients are complex. A mortality project identified topics for a peer-led teaching programme.
Method
Eight bite-sized case-based sessions were devised, to provide a framework to approach the following topics: Anaemia, delirium/dementia, ECG abnormalities, metastatic cancer, osteoporosis, renal disease, respiratory disease, and vascular complications. Attendees were asked to complete pre- and post- teaching programme questionnaires using a Likert Scale to indicate agreement with statements relating to the topic areas chosen (1=strongly disagree and 5=strongly agree).
Result
Pre-programme questionnaire: respondents were neutral (average 3.04) when asked whether topic areas were currently “well managed”. Attendees lacked confidence, indicating preparedness as neutral (average 3.35). Trainees agreed that they would benefit from teaching (average 4.56).
Post-programme questionnaire: increased confidence was reported when considering preparedness (average 4.3). Attendees felt the teaching programme was “accessible” and the “topics well-chosen”. 100% of attendees regarded the teaching as ‘excellent’ or ‘very-good’.
Conclusions
Matching patient needs to an educational programme is important.
The “bite-sized” nature of the programme paired with case-based learning increased confidence. A peer-led teaching programme is a positive response to themes emerging from morbidity and mortality reviews.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous studies have shown that prematurity leads to altered right ventricular (RV) geometry and performance with persistent impairments in RV systolic function in young adulthood. It is unknown to what extent pulmonary physiology impacts these findings.
Purpose
To better quantify known alterations in RV morphology and function in preterm-born young adults and to determine to what extent these changes are influenced by the pulmonary circulation.
Methods
A total of 101 normotensive preterm-born (n=47, mean gestational age 32.8±3.2 weeks) and term-born (n=54) young adults were recruited. Echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were performed to characterise RV morphology, RV function, pulmonary hemodynamics and RV-pulmonary arterial vascular (PA) coupling. CMR cine images were used to create a 3D computational atlas of the RV geometry and principal component analysis was undertaken to identify the key modes of shape variation. Spirometry was performed to assess lung function.
Results
RV CMR revealed a higher absolute and indexed RV mass (P<0.05) and lower ejection fraction (54.90±5.17 versus 57.48±4.39%, P=0.008) in young adults born preterm. RV end-diastolic areas and volumes for CMR and echocardiography were lower in preterm-born compared to term-born young adults (P≤0.001). Principal component analysis of the computational atlas defined the anatomical modes of the RV geometry, with mode 1 accounting for 25.3% of the population variance. Preterm and term cohorts showed significant differences (P<0.001) in mode 1, which represented a smaller and shorter RV cavity in the preterm group (Figure 1). Measurements of RV function by echocardiography, including RV fractional area of change (FAC) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), were lower in preterm-born compared to term-born adults (P<0.05). Despite lower pulmonary artery acceleration times (PAAT) in those born preterm (141.1±15.1 versus 159.2±21.6msec, P<0.001), indicating increased pulmonary vascular resistance, the RV remained coupled to its pulmonary circulation (TAPSE/PAAT: 0.13±0.02 versus 0.14±0.03m/sec, P=0.153). Reduced RV performance in preterm-born individuals remained significant when adjusting for pulmonary function parameters (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Multimodality cardiac imaging demonstrated that moderately preterm-born young adults exhibit structural and functional RV alterations, independent of lung physiology. Their RV remains hemodynamically coupled to its pulmonary circulation despite higher RV afterload, lower RV function and altered morphology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The mainstay treatment for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) is surgical decompression. Not all cases, however, are suitable for surgery. Recent international guidelines advise surgery for moderate to severe disease as well as progressive mild disease. The goal of this study was to examine the factors in current practice that drive the decision to operate in DCM. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS 1 year of cervical spine MRI scans (N = 1123) were reviewed to identify patients with DCM with sufficient clinical documentation (N = 39). Variables at surgical assessment were recorded: age, sex, clinical signs and symptoms of DCM, disease severity, and quantitative MRI measures of cord compression. Bivariate correlations were used to compare each variable with the decision to offer the patient an operation. Subsequent multivariable analysis incorporated all significant bivariate correlations. RESULTS Of the 39 patients identified, 25 (64%) were offered an operation. The decision to operate was significantly associated with narrower non-pathological canal and cord diameters as well as cord compression ratio, explaining 50% of the variance. In a multivariable model, only cord compression ratio was significant (p = 0.017). Examination findings, symptoms, functional disability, disease severity, disease progression, and demographic factors were all non-significant. CONCLUSIONS Cord compression emerged as the main factor in surgical decision-making prior to the publication of recent guidelines. Newly identified predictors of post-operative outcome were not significantly associated with decision to operate.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Echocardiographic screening can detect rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in high-risk populations,but is limited by reliance on highly-trained experts and equipment. We sought to determine the diagnostic utility of an ultra-abbreviated single parasternal-long-axis-sweep of the heart (SPLASH) echocardiography protocol to detect RHD, performed by briefly-trained health workers.
Methods
In Timor-Leste and Northern Australia, individuals aged 5–20y were offered school-based echocardiographic screening. Health workers completed online modules followed by one-week of practical training, logging 50 echocardiograms prior to study. The index test was SPLASH, performed and reported by health workers using handheld GE V-scan devices. The index test was abnormal if any mitral or aortic regurgitation was detected. The reference test was a comprehensive echocardiogram, performed by an echocardiographers or cardiologist on a GE Vivid-Q, reported according to World Heart Federation criteria. The diagnostic accuracy of the index test was determined.
Results
2590 subjects underwent index and reference tests. Prevalence of definite RHD was 3.2% (83/2590). Sensitivity and specificity of index test were 0.75 (95% CI 0.64–0.83) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.75–0.78) respectively for detection of any definite RHD, and 0.91 (95% CI 0.74–0.98) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.74–0.78) respectively for detection of moderate or severe RHD.
Conclusion
Health workers using SPLASH detected the vast majority of moderate and severe RHD cases, but lacked sensitivity for detection of mild RHD. Further analysis is underway to evaluate the learning curve and other performance indicators of health workers performing and interpreting echocardiograms. This will allow refinement of SPLASH protocol and augmentation of health worker training to increase detection rates and accuracy for future population screening initiatives.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this guideline is to recommend systemic therapy options for women with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancers. Methods This document updates the recommendations published in the 2011 Optimal Chemotherapy for Recurrent Ovarian Cancer guideline from Cancer Care Ontario. Draft recommendations were formulated based on evidence obtained through a systematic review of phase ii and iii randomized controlled trials (rcts). The draft recommendations underwent internal review by clinical and methodology experts, and external review by clinical practitioners through a survey assessing the clinical relevance and overall quality of the guideline. Feedback from the internal and external reviews was integrated into the clinical practice guideline. Results The primary literature search yielded thirty-six primary research papers representing thirty rcts that met the eligibility criteria. The guideline provides recommendations for patients with serous tumour histologies and with recurrent, platinum-resistant, and platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. Conclusions The body of evidence from trials that included olaparib and bevacizumab consistently shows a benefit in progression-free survival (pfs) without a corresponding benefit in overall survival (os). The Working Group for this guideline designated pfs, which is associated with symptom control, as a critical outcome. A finding of net benefit can therefore be concluded based on significant differences in pfs. However, that benefit is not without identified harms. Given the identified harms, patient involvement in the decision-making process must take into consideration the side effect profiles of olaparib and bevacizumab within the context of improved pfs but minimal change in os.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heightened reactivity to unpredictable threat (U-threat) is a core individual difference factor underlying fear-based psychopathology. Little is known, however, about whether reactivity to U-threat is a stable marker of fear-based psychopathology or if it is malleable to treatment. The aim of the current study was to address this question by examining differences in reactivity to U-threat within patients before and after 12-weeks of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). METHODS Participants included patients with principal fear (n = 22) and distress/misery disorders (n = 29), and a group of healthy controls (n = 21) assessed 12-weeks apart. A well-validated threat-of-shock task was used to probe reactivity to predictable (P-) and U-threat and startle eyeblink magnitude was recorded as an index of defensive responding. RESULTS Across both assessments, individuals with fear-based disorders displayed greater startle magnitude to U-threat relative to healthy controls and distress/misery patients (who did not differ). From pre- to post-treatment, startle magnitude during U-threat decreased only within the fear patients who received CBT. Moreover, within fear patients, the magnitude of decline in startle to U-threat correlated with the magnitude of decline in fear symptoms. For the healthy controls, startle to U-threat across the two time points was highly reliable and stable. CONCLUSIONS Together, these results indicate that startle to U-threat characterizes fear disorder patients and is malleable to treatment with CBT but not SSRIs within fear patients. Startle to U-threat may therefore reflect an objective, psychophysiological indicator of fear disorder status and CBT treatment response.

Abstract
Epidemiological and animal data suggest that adult chronic disease is influenced by early-life exposure-induced changes to the epigenome. Previously, we observed that perinatal lead (Pb) exposure results in persistent murine metabolic- and activity-related effects. Using phylogenetic and DNA methylation analysis, we have also identified novel intracisternal A particle (IAP) retrotransposons exhibiting regions of variable methylation as candidate loci for environmental effects on the epigenome. Here, we now evaluate brain and kidney DNA methylation profiles of four representative IAPs in adult mice exposed to human physiologically relevant levels of Pb two weeks prior to mating through lactation. When IAPs across the genome were evaluated globally, average (sd) methylation levels were 92.84% (3.74) differing by tissue (P < 0.001), but not sex or dose. By contrast, the four individual IAPs displayed tissue-specific Pb and sex effects. Medium Pb-exposed mice had 3.86% less brain methylation at IAP 110 (P < 0.01), while high Pb-exposed mice had 2.83% less brain methylation at IAP 236 (P = 0.01) and 1.77% less at IAP 506 (P = 0.05). Individual IAP DNA methylation differed by sex for IAP 110 in the brain and kidney, IAP 236 in the kidney, and IAP 1259 in the kidney. Using Tomtom, we identified three binding motifs that matched to each of our novel IAPs impacted by Pb, one of which (HMGA2) has been linked to metabolic-related conditions in both mice and humans. Thus, these recently identified IAPs display tissue-specific environmental lability as well as sex-specific differences supporting an epigenetic link between early exposure to Pb and later-in-life health outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to explore the views of professional stakeholders and healthcare professionals (HCPs) on the linkage of UK National Health Service (NHS) data for paediatric pharmacovigilance purposes and to make recommendations for such a system. METHODS A mixed methods approach including a literature review, interviews, focus groups and a three-round Delphi survey with HCPs in Scotland was followed by a triangulation process using a systematic protocol. The survey was structured using the Theoretical Domains Framework of behaviour change. Items retained after applying the matrix-based triangulation process were thematically coded. Ethical approval was granted by the North of Scotland Research Ethics Service. RESULTS Results from 18 papers, 23 interviewees, 23 participants of focus groups and 61 completed questionnaires in the Delphi survey contributed to the triangulation process. A total of 25 key findings from all four studies were identified during triangulation. There was good convergence; 21 key findings were agreed and remained to inform recommendations. The items were coded as practical/technical (eg, decision about the unique patient identifier to use), mandatory (eg, governed by statute), essential (consistently mentioned in all studies and therefore needed to ensure professional support) or preferable. CONCLUSIONS The development of a paediatric linked database has support from professional stakeholders and HCPs in Scotland. The triangulation identified three sets of core requirements for a new system of data linkage. An additional fourth set of 'preferable' requirements might increase engagement of HCPs and their support for the new system.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess behavioural recovery from the patient's perspective as a prespecified secondary outcome in a multicentre parallel-group randomized clinical trial comparing ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS), endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and surgery for the treatment of primary varicose veins. METHODS Participants were recruited from 11 UK sites as part of the CLASS trial, a randomized trial of UGFS, EVLA or surgery for varicose veins. Patients were followed up 6 weeks after treatment and asked to complete the Behavioural Recovery After treatment for Varicose Veins (BRAVVO) questionnaire. This is a 15-item instrument that covers eight activity behaviours (tasks or actions an individual is capable of doing in an idealized situation) and seven participation behaviours (what the individual does in an everyday, real-world situation) that were identified to be important from the patient's perspective. RESULTS A total of 798 participants were recruited. Both UGFS and EVLA resulted in a significantly quicker recovery compared with surgery for 13 of the 15 behaviours assessed. UGFS was superior to EVLA in terms of return to full-time work (hazard ratio 1·43, 95 per cent c.i. 1·11 to 1·85), looking after children (1·45, 1·04 to 2·02) and walks of short (1·48, 1·19 to 1·84) and longer (1·32, 1·05 to 1·66) duration. CONCLUSION Both UGFS and EVLA resulted in more rapid recovery than surgery, and UGFS was superior to EVLA for one-quarter of the behaviours assessed. The BRAVVO questionnaire has the potential to provide important meaningful information to patients about their early recovery and what they may expect to be able to achieve after treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a devastating disease characterized by increased pulmonary arterial pressure, which progressively leads to right-heart failure and death. A dys-regulated renin angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in the development and progression of PH. However, the role of the angiotensin AT2 receptor in PH has not been fully elucidated. We have taken advantage of a recently identified non-peptide AT2 receptor agonist, Compound 21 (C21), to investigate its effects on the well-established monocrotaline (MCT) rat model of PH. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH A single s.c. injection of MCT (50 mg·kg(-1) ) was used to induce PH in 8-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats. After 2 weeks of MCT administration, a subset of animals began receiving either 0.03 mg·kg(-1) C21, 3 mg·kg(-1) PD-123319 or 0.5 mg·kg(-1) A779 for an additional 2 weeks, after which right ventricular haemodynamic parameters were measured and tissues were collected for gene expression and histological analyses. KEY RESULTS Initiation of C21 treatment significantly attenuated much of the pathophysiology associated with MCT-induced PH. Most notably, C21 reversed pulmonary fibrosis and prevented right ventricular fibrosis. These beneficial effects were associated with improvement in right heart function, decreased pulmonary vessel wall thickness, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines and favourable modulation of the lung RAS. Conversely, co-administration of the AT2 receptor antagonist, PD-123319, or the Mas antagonist, A779, abolished the protective actions of C21. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Taken together, our results suggest that the AT2 receptor agonist, C21, may hold promise for patients with PH.

Abstract
Objective To review the literature on the views of healthcare professionals to the linkage of healthcare data and to identify any potential barriers and/or facilitators to participation in a data linkage system. Methods Published papers describing the views of healthcare professionals (HCPs) to data sharing and linkage were identified by searches of Medline, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, and PsychINFO. The searches were limited to papers published in the English language from 2001 to 2011. Results A total of 2917 titles were screened. From these, 18 papers describing the views of HCPs about data linkage or data sharing of routinely collected healthcare data at an individual patient level were included. Views were generally positive, and potential benefits were reported. Facilitators included having trust in the system including data governance, reliability, and feedback. Some negative views, identified as barriers were also expressed including costs, data governance, technical issues, and privacy concerns. Effects on the physician–patient relationship, and workload were also identified as deterrent. Discussion From the published literature included in this review, the views of HCPs were in general positive towards data sharing for public health purposes. The identification of barriers to contributing to a data linkage system allows these to be addressed in a planned data linkage project for pharmacovigilance. The main barriers identified were concerns about costs, governance and interference with the prescriber–patient relationship. These would have to be addressed if healthcare professionals are to support a data linkage system to improve patient safety.
