Abstract
BACKGROUND High-risk localised prostate cancer (HRCaP) has high rates of biochemical recurrence; [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 is effective in men with advanced prostate cancer. OBJECTIVE To investigate the dosimetry, safety, and efficacy of upfront [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in men with HRCaP prior to robotic radical prostatectomy (RP). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this single-arm, phase I/II trial, we recruited men with HRCaP (any of prostate-specific antigen [PSA] >20 ng/ml, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group [GG] 3-5, and ≥cT2c), with high tumour uptake on [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT), and scheduled for RP. INTERVENTION Cohort A (n = 10) received one cycle and cohort B (n = 10) received two cycles of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (5 GBq) followed by surgery 6 weeks later. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The primary endpoint was tumour radiation absorbed dose. Adverse events (AEs; Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0), surgical safety (Clavien-Dindo), imaging, and biochemical responses were evaluated (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04430192). RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Between May 29, 2020 and April 28, 2022, 20 patients were enrolled. The median PSA was 18 ng/ml (interquartile range [IQR] 11-35), Eighteen (90%) had GG ≥3, and six (30%) had N1 disease. The median (IQR) highest tumour radiation absorbed dose after cycle 1 for all lesions was 35.5 Gy (19.5-50.1), with 19.6 Gy (11.3-48.4) delivered to the prostate. Five patients received radiation to lymph nodes. Nine (45%) patients achieved >50% PSA decline. The most common AEs related to [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 were grade 1 fatigue in eight (40%), nausea in seven (35%), dry mouth in six (30%), and thrombocytopenia in four (20%) patients. No grade 3/4 toxicities or Clavien 3-5 complications occurred. Limitations include small a sample size. CONCLUSIONS In men with HRCaP and high prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression, [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 delivered high levels of targeted radiation doses with few toxicities and without compromising surgical safety. Further studies of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in this population are worthwhile to determine whether meaningful long-term oncological benefits can be demonstrated. PATIENT SUMMARY In this study, we demonstrate that up to two cycles of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 given prior to radical prostatectomy in patients with high-risk localised prostate cancer are safe and deliver targeted doses of radiation to tumour-affected tissues. It is tolerated well with minimal treatment-related adverse events, and surgery is safe with a low rate of complications. Activity measured through PSA reduction, repeat PSMA PET/CT, and histological response is promising.

Abstract
Despite inflammation being implicated in cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people with HIV (PWH), considerable heterogeneity within populations of PWH exists. Stratifying CVD risk based on inflammatory phenotype could play an important role. Using principal component analyses and unsupervised hierarchical clustering, we examined 38 biomarkers to identify inflammatory phenotypes in two independent cohorts of PWH. We identified three distinct inflammatory clusters present in both cohorts that associated with altered risk of both subclinical CVD (cohort 1) and prevalent clinical CVD (cohort 2) after adjusting for CVD risk factors. These data support precision medicine approaches to enhance CVD risk assessment in PWH.

Abstract
TPS397 Background: Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has an established role for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (sPCa), with superior diagnostic accuracy compared with transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy alone. PRIMARY demonstrated significant improvement in sensitivity (97% vs 83%) and negative predictive value (91% vs 72%) with the addition of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (PSMA PET/CT) vs MRI alone. Furthermore, 38% of patients with PI-RADS 2 or 3 were true negative on PSMA PET/CT, a population which may potentially benefit from avoiding transperineal prostate biopsy (TPPB). We hypothesize that the addition of PSMA PET/CT is non-inferior to MRI for the detection of sPCa in men with PI-RADS 2-3 disease, while providing the advantages of reducing unnecessary biopsies and limiting to targeted-only TPPB. Methods: This multi-centre, two-arm, randomized controlled, phase III trial will recruit 660 men with high clinical suspicion of sPC. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio in permuted blocks, stratified by center. In the experimental arm, participants will undergo a pelvic PSMA PET/CT. Local and central reviewers will interpret independently, based on the PRIMARY Score. Participants with a positive result will undergo targeted-TPPB, whereas those with negative PSMA PET/CT will avoid biopsy. In the control arm, all participants undergo template-TPPB. Patients will continue follow-up for subsequent clinical care for up to two years post-randomization. Key eligibility criteria include an MRI result of PI-RADS 2 with at least one red flag [PSA density >0.1, abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE), strong family history, BRCA mutation, PSA >10, PSA doubling time <36 months, PSA velocity >0.75/year], or PI-RADS 3, having never undergone a prostate biopsy, <cT3 on DRE, and PSA ≤20 ng/mL. The co-primary objectives are to estimate the percentage difference in sPCa between the experimental and control arms, and the percentage of participants who avoid TPPB in the experimental arm. The primary endpoints will be analyzed on the intention-to-treat principle. The main secondary objectives are the percentage difference between arms in insignificant prostate cancer, in complications following biopsy, in health-related quality of life, generalized anxiety, cancer worry, as well as the health economics impact. Patient enrolment began in March 2022, with recruitment expected to take 36 months. Clinical trial information: NCT05154162 .

Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone has been the cornerstone of treatment for patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer for the past century. Based on results from landmark trials in the past decade, combination approaches of ADT with chemotherapy or novel hormonal agents have established a new standard of care for these patients. This paradigm shift in treatment has been reflected in the updates to guideline recommendations of major professional associations. However, real-world data from around the world have highlighted the dismal adoption of combination therapy, despite evidence-based recommendations. The disparity between evidence and practice is concerning, especially with emerging evidence of survival benefit with further treatment intensification using triplet combinations (ADT, docetaxel and novel hormonal agents). Thus, a pressing need to raise awareness and call the uro-oncology community to action exists to deliver evidence-based care for these patients.

Abstract
Low-risk prostate cancer has traditionally seen a preference towards avoiding treatment-related harms with active surveillance (AS) and multimodal monitoring protocols utilized to assess for disease progression. Large trials have shown variations in mortality and cancer survival benefit between AS and radical treatment, which has prompted further trials into the management of low-risk disease. Nonradical treatments for men on AS have been an emerging field and yet to enter mainstream guidelines or practice. These include pharmacological treatments, focal therapy, nutraceuticals, immunotherapy, and exercise. We present a review of all current major randomized clinical trials for nonradical treatment of men on AS and summarize their findings.

Abstract
Targeting of molecular constituents of thrombi with aptamer functionalized core-shell nanoparticles (CSN) allowed for high resolution clot delineation in T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Meanwhile, the gold-coating demonstrated sufficient contrast capabilities in computed tomography (1697 HU μM-1). This targeted CSN formulation could allow for precise imaging of blood clots at low nanomolar concentrations.

Abstract
Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a problematic group of chemicals used in various industrial and household products. They have been extensively detected in wastewater as a result of day-to-day product usage. Due to concerns about their safety, voluntary and regulatory action to limit the manufacture and use of some individual PFAS has occurred since the year 2000. The impact that this intervention has had on the use and potential exposure of Australians has not been measured. Wastewater serves as a powerful tool to assess the chemical use or consumption patterns of a population over time. We accessed a ten-year wastewater archiving program to conduct a temporal analysis of PFAS trends in an urban Australian population between the years 2010 and 2020. Results showed a decline in the concentrations for most PFAS, and a change in the PFAS profile from perfluorosulfonic acids and long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids, to the short-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids and PFOS-replacement degradation products such as 5:3 FTCA. Intermittent pulses of PFAS that were significantly higher than 'background' levels (i.e., representing the PFAS input from primarily households) were observed, suggesting continuing industrial PFAS input within the wastewater catchment. This study highlights the long-term consequences of the diffuse use of persistent chemicals in products, and their ability to continue to enter the wastewater stream for decades.

Abstract
Alloimmunization to red blood cell (RBC) antigens post-allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) appears to be quite rare. The D antigen (RhD) is considered the most immunogenic RBC antigen with possibly a third of RhD-negative individuals exposed to RhD-positive RBC transfusions becoming alloimmunized. Though variable, most are detectable within a year of exposure, and the median time between exposure and detection is estimated to be about a month. We report the detection of anti-D in an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (allo-BMT) recipient about five years following last exposure to RhD-positive RBC.

Abstract
Obtaining conductance spectra for a concentration of disordered impurities distributed over a nanoscale device with sensing capabilities is a well-defined problem. However, to do this inversely, i.e., extracting information about the scatters from the conductance spectrum alone, is not an easy task. In the presence of impurities, even advanced techniques of inversion can become particularly challenging. This article extends the applicability of a methodology we proposed capable of extracting composition information about a nanoscale sensing device using the conductance spectrum. The inversion tool decodes the conductance spectrum to yield the concentration and nature of the disorders responsible for conductance fluctuations in the spectra. We present the method for simple one-dimensional systems like an electron gas with randomly distributed delta functions and a linear chain of atoms. We prove the generality and robustness of the method using materials with complex electronic structures like hexagonal boron nitride, graphene nanoribbons, and carbon nanotubes. We also go on to probe distribution of disorders on the sublattice structure of the materials using the proposed inversion tool.

Abstract
Prostate cancer continues to be one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men globally and a leading cause of male cancer deaths. The landscape of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer has significantly changed over the past decade. For many years, androgen deprivation therapy alone through surgical or chemical castration was the mainstay of treatment yielding limited 5-year survival rates. New treatment approaches using Docetaxel chemotherapy or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors to intensify upfront systemic therapy have resulted in significantly improved survival rates compared to androgen deprivation therapy alone. Clinicians are now equipped with an arsenal of drugs capable of prolonging life for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients. Furthermore, new treatment modalities are being tested in clinical trials making treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer an extremely dynamic space. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the key systemic treatments for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, namely androgen deprivation therapy, novel androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and Docetaxel. We summarise a series of landmark trials that have led to the integration of novel androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and docetaxel into the treatment paradigm for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Lastly, we discuss nursing, financial and side-effect considerations pertaining to the use of these drugs. This article aims to give its readers an understanding of the evidence and clinical aspects of novel therapies in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer as they become increasingly available for use around the world.

Abstract
PurposeResearch finds that investors initially under-react to increases in R&D intensity. The phenomenon is commonly viewed as mispricing. We draw on behavioral theory of the firm (BTF) to propose an alternative explanation that increased R&D intensity is often indicative of problemistic search in firms. We empirically explore three contextual factors that may help discriminate between mispricing and problemistic search effects when capital markets frown on increased R&D intensity.Design/methodology/approachWe use econometric methods to analyze longitudinal data on 4,561 US manufacturing firms.FindingsWe find that market reactions to R&D investments are consistent with the view that managers often engage in R&D-based search to correct anticipated problems. We show that increased R&D intensity is a stronger indicator of diminished expected future performance for firms with greater inertia, including larger firms and high-performing firms. However, greater R&D intensity is less indicative of problemistic search in slack-rich firms.Originality/valueWhilst the BTF has been used extensively in management research, ours is one of the few studies which link the BTF to stock market phenomena.

Abstract
It has been well established that challenge and threat evaluations affect the performance of potentially stressful tasks. However, the factors that influence these evaluations have rarely been examined. Objective: This study examined the effects of ego depletion on challenge and threat evaluations during a public speaking task. Method: 262 participants (150 males, 112 females; Mage = 20.5, SD = 4.3) were randomly assigned to either an ego depletion or control group. Participants then completed self-report measures of trait self-control. The ego depletion group performed a written transcription task requiring self-control, while the control group transcribed the text normally. Before the public speaking task, participant's challenge and threat evaluations and subjective ratings of performance were assessed via self-report items. Results: The results of independent t-tests supported the effectiveness of the self-control manipulation. There were no significant differences between the ego depletion and control groups in terms of challenge and threat evaluations or subjective performance. Additional correlation analyses revealed that trait measures of self-control were significantly and negatively related to challenge and threat evaluations and subjective performance. Conclusion: Findings suggest that ego depletion might not influence appraisals of potentially stressful tasks, and thus add to recent evidence questioning the ego-depletion phenomenon.

Abstract
Objective: Random formation of thrombi is classified as a pathological process that may result in partial or complete obstruction of blood flow and limited perfusion. Further complications include pulmonary embolism, thrombosis-induced myocardial infraction, ischemic stroke, and others. Location and full delineation of the blood clot are considered to be two clinically relevant aspects that could streamline proper diagnosis and treatment follow-up. In this work, we prepared two types of X-ray attenuating contrast formulations, using fibrinogen aptamer as the clot-seeking moiety. Methods: Two novel aptamer-targeted formulations were designed. Iodine-modified bases were directly incorporated into a fibrinogen aptamer (iodo-FA). Isothermal titration calorimetry was used to confirm that these modifications did not negatively impact target binding. Iodo-FA was tested for its ability to produce concentration-dependent contrast enhancement in a phantom CT. It was subsequently tested in vitro with clotted human and swine blood. This allowed for translation into ex vivo testing, using fluoroscopy. FA was also used to functionalize gold nanoparticles (FA-AuNPs), and contrast capabilities were confirmed. This formulation was tested in vitro using clotted human blood in a CT scan. Results: Unmodified FA and iodo-FA demonstrated a nearly identical affinity toward fibrin, confirming that base modifications did not impact target binding. Iodo-FA and FA-AuNPs both demonstrated excellent concentration-dependent contrast enhancement capabilities (40.5 HU mM-1 and 563.6 HU μM-1, respectively), which were superior to the clinically available agent, iopamidol. In vitro CT testing revealed that iodo-FA is able to penetrate into the blood clots, producing contrast enhancement throughout, while FA-AuNPs only accumulated on the surface of the clot. Iodo-FA was thereby translated to ex vivo testing, confirming target-binding associated accumulation of the contrast material at the location of the clot within the dilation of the external carotid artery. This resulted in a 34% enhancement of the clot. Conclusions: Both iodo-FA and FA-AuNPs were confirmed to be effective contrast formulations in CT. Targeting of fibrin, a major structural constituent of thrombi, with these novel contrast agents would allow for higher contrast enhancement and better clot delineation in CT and fluoroscopy.

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
As short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are listed on several monitoring programs, validated methods are essential. However, their complexity and the lack of commercially available certified reference materials (RMs) hinder a proper validation of methods. Instead, one method is usually 'validated' by evaluating performances and results of spiked materials with that of one other method, which could easily lead to unreliable results. This study evaluated four analytical methods with different principles (i.e. comprehensive two dimensional GC coupled to a micro electron capture detector, developed for this study, chloride enhanced atmospheric pressure chemical ionization triple quadrupole time of flight MS (APCI-QToF-HRMS), GC coupled to an electron capture negative ion low resolution MS (GC-ECNI-LRMS) and carbon skeleton GC-MS), investigated the comparability in SCCP determination in spiked and naturally contaminated samples and determined SCCP amounts in candidate RMs for possible certification. The results cast doubt on the use of the most commonly applied method (i.e. GC-ECNI-LRMS), as well as using spiked materials for method validation. The APCI-QToF-HRMS method was found most promising as it achieves the required MS resolution (>21,000), is relatively fast and can detect also other CPs. The suitable identified SCCP levels in the candidate RMs and the agreement in results between the methods bring the first certification of a RM for SCCPs within reach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently published clinical trials have resulted in a significant change in the guidelines used to manage patients suffering an acute ischaemic stroke. New neuro-interventional techniques have revolutionised stroke outcomes. Currently, such services are only available in two specialist centres. AIMS We attempted to evaluate the need for the provision of routine computed tomography (CT) angiography and neuro-interventional services at a university teaching hospital in Limerick. METHODS A retrospective study was performed based on data collated by the stroke service, University Hospital Limerick (UHL). All patients with a suspected acute ischaemic stroke of anterior circulation and known evolution were included. Baseline clinical and imaging characteristics, thrombolysis data, stroke unit admission rates and discharge destinations were recorded. RESULTS All 141 patients were suitable for CT angiography and should be performed in accordance with guidelines. Additionally, 165 patients excluded from the study due to an unknown stroke evolution timeframe may have benefitted. Non-contrast CT scan confirmed just 12 anterior circulation strokes. The need for neuro-interventional services proved more difficult to assess, primarily due to the lack of provision of routine CT angiography, employed to confirm anterior circulation occlusion. Secondary results showed a thrombolysis rate of 10.8% and confirmed that time efficiencies result in higher thrombolysis eligibility rates. Stroke unit admissions and discharge destinations were also recorded. CONCLUSION UHL should provide routine CT angiography to all patients presenting with acute ischaemic stroke in line with current guidelines. The need for provision of neuro-interventional services on-site proved more difficult to assess and requires further analysis.

Abstract
The behaviour of sexually mature Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus specimens (fifth farm generation) was observed in captivity for four consecutive days. Only agonistic interactions between males of different size were facilitated on the first 2 days, while both agonistic and courtship interactions were possible from the third day up to the end of the experiment. The reliability of behavioural analysis was assessed in order to reduce the possibility of observer errors within the generated datasets. The behavioural investment of big males, small males and females was analysed using general linear models (two-way repeated measures ANOVAs with time and male size as factors). A peak in the agonistic interactions between males occurred during the first day of interactions, where the agonistic investment of big males was significantly higher than that of small males. This resulted in an increased investment in submissive behaviour by the small males, who consistently performed submissive behaviours from the second day of interactions up to the end of the trial. Big males were found to invest significantly more than small males in courtship behaviours for the duration of the trial. Even though females performed inter-sexual behaviours towards both big and small males for the entire observation period, female interaction rate towards big males was higher than towards small males. This study suggests that both male investment in mating behaviour and female preference might be related to male characteristics such as body length and that S. alpinus behavioural patterns and mate choice cues might be strongly context-related and characterized by high levels of behavioural plasticity (i.e. presence-absence of certain behavioural units or potential reversal of a mate choice cue) within the same species. Finally, in light of this, some conservation measures are discussed. In particular, effective management plans should take into account the high level of behavioural plasticity likely to be occurring in this species.

Abstract
Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is an important crop grown throughout Florida. Currently, most blueberry growers use honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) to provide pollination services for highbush blueberries even though bumble bees (Bombus spp.) have been shown to be more efficient at pollinating blueberries on a per bee basis. In general, contribution of bumble bees to the pollination of commercial highbush blueberries in Florida is unknown. Herein, we determined if managed bumble bees could contribute to highbush blueberry pollination. There were four treatments in this study: two treatments of caged commercial bumble bee (Bombus impatiens Cresson) colonies (low and high weight hives), a treatment excluding all pollinators, and a final treatment which allowed all pollinators (managed and wild pollinators) in the area have access to the plot. All treatments were located within a highbush blueberry field containing two cultivars of blooming plants, 'Emerald' and 'Millennia', with each cage containing 16 mature blueberry plants. We gathered data on fruit set, berry weight, and number of seeds produced per berry. When pollinators were excluded, fruit set was significantly lower in both cultivars (<8%) compared to that in all of the other treatments (>58%). Berry weight was not significantly different among the treatments, and the number of seeds per berry did not show a clear response. This study emphasizes the importance of bumble bees as an effective pollinator of blueberries and the potential beneficial implications of the addition of bumble bees in commercial blueberry greenhouses or high tunnels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol efflux capacity in adults may be a measure of the atheroprotective property of HDL. Little however, is known about HDL cholesterol efflux capacity in childhood. We aimed to investigate the relationship between HDL cholesterol efflux capacity and childhood anthropometrics in a longitudinal study. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-five children (mean age = 9.4 ± 0.4 years) were followed from birth until the age of 9 years. HDL cholesterol efflux capacity was determined at age 9 by incubating serum-derived HDL-supernatants with 3H-cholesterol labeled J774 macrophages and percentage efflux determined. Mothers provided dietary information by completing food frequency questionnaires in early pregnancy and then 5 years later on behalf of themselves and their children. Pearson's correlations and multiple regression analyses were conducted to confirm independent associations with HDL efflux. There was a negative correlation between HDL cholesterol efflux capacity and waist circumference at age 5 (r = -0.3, p = 0.01) and age 9 (r = -0.24, p = 0.04) and BMI at age 5 (r = -0.45, p = 0.01) and age 9 (r = -0.19, p = 0.1). Multiple regression analysis showed that BMI at age 5 remained significantly associated with reduced HDL cholesterol efflux capacity (r = -0.45, p < 0.001). HDL-C was negatively correlated with energy-adjusted fat intake (r = -0.24, p = 0.04) and positively correlated with energy-adjusted protein (r = 0.24, p = 0.04) and starch (r = 0.29, p = 0.01) intakes during pregnancy. HDL-C was not significantly correlated with children dietary intake at age 5. There were no significant correlations between maternal or children dietary intake and HDL cholesterol efflux capacity. CONCLUSIONS This novel analysis shows that efflux capacity is negatively associated with adiposity in early childhood independent of HDL-C.

Abstract
Zeolite beta, a large-pore zeolite, was investigated in this study with a view to examining it as a potential adsorbent for the removal of aniline from aqueous solutions. Two different metal-loaded zeolites were prepared by exchanging H-beta zeolite (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1) with copper. The influence of exchanged copper on the uptake level was assessed. The effect of varying the silica-to-alumina ratio of the H-beta zeolite on the aniline uptake level was also examined, using three different H-beta zeolites with ratios of 25:1, 75:1 and 150:1 as adsorbents. The sorption experiments indicated an uptake level of ca. 110–120 mg/g for each zeolite and this level was also adsorbed by the copper-modified H-beta zeolites (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1). In all cases, the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model for adsorption and the level of aniline adsorbed was largely unaffected by a change in temperature or the presence of extra framework copper. The stability of the exchanged copper on these zeolites was then examined by measuring the quantity of copper leached from each zeolite into solution as a function of pH. Minimum copper leaching was observed in the pH range 5–11. This provided a stable pH working range for the adsorbent materials.

Abstract
The efficacy of injury prevention exercise programs (IPEPs) for amateur youth soccer has been established, but little is known about their adaptability to other soccer populations. This study aimed to assess the use of individual injury prevention exercises by professional youth soccer teams, against the industry‐standard, FIFA 11+ program. Four teams' chosen IPEPs were observed across one season and documented on a standardized form. The use of each FIFA 11+ exercise was coded as “performed”, “performed modified” or “not performed”. The proportion of the 160 observed sessions containing each individual exercise was calculated. Staff provided reasons for their use and modification of FIFA 11+ exercises. On average, individual FIFA 11+ exercises were conducted in original form in 12% of the sessions (range 0–33%), and in modified form in 28% of sessions (range 2–62%). The five most frequently observed exercises, in either original or modified form, were “bench” (72%), “squats” (69%), “running straight” (68%), “single‐leg stance” (66%), and “sideways bench” (64%). Staff modified exercises to add variation, progression, and individualization, and to align with specific training formats and goals. Professional youth soccer teams often use injury prevention exercises similar to those in the FIFA 11+, but tailor them considerably to fit their implementation context.

Abstract
Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus did not appear to invest in acoustic communication during courtship and agonistic interactions in captivity. Salvelinus alpinus did, however, produce four different types of sounds which were found to be associated with three different types of air exchange behaviours which probably have a swimbladder regulation function. Since air passage sounds appear to be common among Salmonidae, it is suggested that the potential of passive acoustics techniques for behavioural and ecological monitoring should be further investigated in future field and laboratory investigations.

Abstract
This study assesses the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and adult chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus type 2 [DM2], cardiovascular diseases [CVD] and cancers), in grandparents in the Lifeways Cross-Generation Cohort Study. BMI was either measured or reported, at baseline or 10-year follow-up, in 1,244 grandparents. Cumulative morbidity data were recorded at baseline, 3 and 10-year follow-up through questionnaires, General Practice note search, or both. Just over 42% of grandparents were overweight and 32.1% obese. In the multivariate analysis BMI showed a strong linear association with both DM2 (ptrend <0.001) and CVD (ptrend <0.001). There were no significant associations with cancers, but case numbers were small. Results were similar for waist circumference. This prospective study presents novel Irish data and confirms other recent Irish cross-sectional reports on adiposity and adult chronic disease, highlighting the need for effective health promotion interventions in older adults.

Abstract
Spectral kinetic energy transfer by advective processes in turbulent premixed reacting flows is examined using data from a direct numerical simulation of a statistically planar turbulent premixed flame. Two-dimensional turbulence kinetic-energy spectra conditioned on the planar-averaged reactant mass fraction are computed through the flame brush and variations in the spectra are connected to terms in the spectral kinetic energy transport equation. Conditional kinetic energy spectra show that turbulent small-scale motions are suppressed in the burnt combustion products, while the energy content of the mean flow increases. An analysis of spectral kinetic energy transfer further indicates that, contrary to the net down-scale transfer of energy found in the unburnt reactants, advective processes transfer energy from small to large scales in the flame brush close to the products. Triadic interactions calculated through the flame brush show that this net up-scale transfer of energy occurs primarily at spatial scales near the laminar flame thermal width. The present results thus indicate that advective processes in premixed reacting flows contribute to energy backscatter near the scale of the flame.
