Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare workers were a priority group for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination during the pandemic. Occupational exposure may account for some of the increased risk faced. AIMS Describe COVID-19 vaccine uptake and infection rates in staff across a large NHS board in Scotland to better understand occupational risk during the pandemic. METHODS Descriptive cross-sectional study. Demographic data were extracted on 5 August 2021 from 26 058 members of staff. COVID-19 vaccination status and positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results were extracted on two separate dates to describe the timeline of staff infections between March 2020 and January 2022. RESULTS There was high uptake of all three vaccine doses across all demographic groups in hospital staff. PCR positivity decreased with increasing age and Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation score. Staff and nosocomial COVID-19 infections followed peaks in community infection rates. CONCLUSIONS NHS Lothian is a typical NHS workforce with good vaccine uptake. Beyond very early cases, there seems to be minimal evidence of occupational acquisition of COVID-19. The large number of nosocomial infections at the start of the pandemic may, in fact, reflect lack of community testing at this time. Despite protection from high vaccine coverage, job type and good Infection Prevention and Control practices, it seems that staff remain at high risk of catching the highly transmissible omicron variant from the community rather than work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance aims to facilitate a reduction in SSIs through identifying infection rates, benchmarking, triggering clinical review and instituting infection control measures. Participation in surveillance is, however, variable suggesting opportunities to improve wider adoption. AIM To gain an in-depth understanding of the barriers and facilitators for SSI surveillance in a high-income European setting. METHODS Key informant interviews with 16 surveillance staff, infection prevention staff, nurses and surgeons from nine cardiac hospitals in England. Data were analysed thematically. FINDINGS SSI surveillance was reported to be resource intensive. Barriers to surveillance included challenges associated with data collection: data being located in numerous places, multiple SSI data reporting schemes, difficulty in finding denominator data, lack of interface between computerized systems, 'labour intensive' or 'antiquated' methods to collect data (e.g., using postal systems for patient questionnaires). Additional reported concerns included: relevance of definitions, perceived variability in data reporting, lack of surgeon engagement, unsupportive managers, low priority of SSIs among staff, and a 'blame culture' around high SSI rates. Facilitators were increased resources, better use of digital technologies (e.g., remote digital wound monitoring), integrating surveillance within routine clinical work, having champions, mandating surveillance, ensuring a closer relationship between surveillance and improved patient outcomes, increasing the focus on post-discharge surveillance, and integration with primary care data. CONCLUSION Using novel interviews with 'front-line' staff, identified opportunities for improving participation in SSI surveillance. Translating these findings into action will increase surveillance activity and bring patient safety benefits to a larger pool of surgical patients.

Abstract
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN in Italy is an experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. Its main goal is to investigate this decay in ^{130}Te, but its ton-scale mass and low background make CUORE sensitive to other rare processes as well. In this Letter, we present our first results on the search for 0νββ decay of ^{128}Te, the Te isotope with the second highest natural isotopic abundance. We find no evidence for this decay, and using a Bayesian analysis we set a lower limit on the ^{128}Te 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}>3.6×10^{24} yr (90% CI). This represents the most stringent limit on the half-life of this isotope, improving by over a factor of 30 the previous direct search results, and exceeding those from geochemical experiments for the first time.

Abstract
Increasing demand for surgery and anaesthesia has created an imperative to manage anaesthetic workforce and caseload. This may include changes to distribution of cases amongst anaesthetists of different grades, including non-physician anaesthetists. To achieve this safely, an assessment of case complexity is essential. We present a novel system for scoring complexity of cases in anaesthesia, the Oxford Anaesthetic Complexity score. This integrates patient, anaesthetic, surgical and systems factors, and is different from assessments of risk. We adopted an end-user development approach to the design of the score, and validated it using a dataset of anaesthetic cases. Across 688 cases, the median (IQR [range]) complexity score was 19 (17-22 [15-33]). Cases requiring a consultant anaesthetist had a significantly higher median (IQR [range]) score than those requiring a senior trainee at 22 (20-25 [15-33]) vs. 19(17-21 [15-28]), p < 0.001. Cases undertaken in a tertiary acute hospital had a significantly higher score than those in a district general hospital, the median (IQR [range]) scores being 20 (17-22 [15-33]) vs. 17 (16-19 [17-28]), p < 0.001. Receiver-operating characteristic analysis showed good prediction of complexity sufficient to require a consultant anaesthetist, with area under the curve of 0.84. Any rise in complexity above baseline (score > 15) was strongly predictive of a case too complex for a junior trainee (positive predictive value 0.93). The Oxford Anaesthetic Complexity score can be used to match cases to different grades of anaesthetist, and can help in defining cases appropriate for the expanding non-physician anaesthetist workforce.

Abstract
Background AGITG DOCTOR was a randomised phase 2 trial of pre-operative cisplatin, 5 fluorouracil (CF) followed by docetaxel (D) with or without radiotherapy (RT) based on poor early response to CF, detected via PET, for resectable oesophageal adenocarcinoma. This study describes PROs over 2 years. Methods Participants (N = 116) completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 and oesophageal module (QLQ-OES18) before chemotherapy (baseline), before surgery, six and 12 weeks post-surgery and three-monthly until 2 years. We plotted PROs over time and calculated the percentage of participants per treatment group whose post-surgery score was within 10 points (threshold for clinically relevant change) of their baseline score, for each PRO scale. We examined the relationship between Grade 3+ adverse events (AEs) and PROs. This analysis included four groups: CF responders, non-responders randomised to DCF, non-responders randomised to DCF + RT, and “others” who were not randomised. Results Global QOL was clinically similar between groups from 6 weeks post-surgery. All groups had poorer functional and higher symptom scores during active treatment and shortly after surgery, particularly the DCF and DCF + RT groups. DCF + RT reported a clinically significant difference (−13points) in mean overall health/QOL between baseline and pre-surgery. Similar proportions of patients across groups scored +/− 10 points of baseline scores within 2 years for most PRO domains. Instance of grade 3+ AEs were not related to PROs at baseline or 2 years. Conclusions By 2 years, similar proportions of patients scored within 10 points of baseline for most PRO domains, with the exception of pain and insomnia for the DCF + RT group. Non-responders randomised to DCF or DCF + RT experienced additional short-term burden compared to CF responders, reflecting the longer duration of neoadjuvant treatment and additional toxicity. This should be weighed against clinical benefits reported in AGITG DOCTOR. This data will inform communication of the trajectory of treatment options for early CF non-responders.

Abstract
AIMS The interaction between common cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is poorly studied. We sought to explore the relation between CVRF and the clinical characteristics of patients with HCM enrolled in the EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Cardiomyopathy registry. METHODS AND RESULTS 1739 patients with HCM were studied. The relation between hypertension (HT), diabetes (DM), body mass index (BMI), and clinical traits was analysed. Analyses were stratified according to the presence or absence of a pathogenic variant in a sarcomere gene. The prevalence of HT, DM, and obesity (Ob) was 37, 10, and 21%, respectively. HT, DM, and Ob were associated with older age (P<0.001), less family history of HCM (HT and DM P<0.001), higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (P<0.001), atrial fibrillation (HT and DM P<0.001; Ob p = 0.03) and LV (left ventricular) diastolic dysfunction (HT and Ob P<0.001; DM P = 0.003). Stroke was more frequent in HT (P<0.001) and mutation-positive patients with DM (P = 0.02). HT and Ob were associated with higher provocable LV outflow tract gradients (HT P<0.001, Ob P = 0.036). LV hypertrophy was more severe in Ob (P = 0.018). HT and Ob were independently associated with NYHA class (OR 1.419, P = 0.017 and OR 1.584, P = 0.004, respectively). Other associations, including a higher proportion of females in HT and of systolic dysfunction in HT and Ob, were observed only in mutation-positive patients. CONCLUSION Common CVRF are associated with a more severe HCM phenotype, suggesting a proactive management of CVRF should be promoted. An interaction between genotype and CVRF was observed for some traits.

Abstract
Background Accidental intraoperative hypothermia is a common and avoidable adverse event of the perioperative period and is associated with detrimental effects on multiple organ systems and postoperative patient outcomes. In a resource-limited environment, prevention of intraoperative hypothermia is often challenging. Resourceful clinicians overcome these challenges through creative devices and frugal innovations. Objectives To investigate the thermal performance of two Baragwanath Rewarming Appliances (BaRA) against that of the Hotline device to describe an optimal setup for these devices. Methods This was a quasi-experimental laboratory study that measured the thermal performance of two BaRA devices and the Hotline device under a number of scenarios. Independent variables including fluid type, flow rate, warming temperature and warming transit distance were sequentially altered and temperatures measured along the fluid stream. Change in temperature (ΔT) was calculated as the difference between entry and exit temperature for each combination of variables for each warming device. Results A total of 219 experiments were performed. At a temperature of 43.0°C and a transit distance of 200 cm, the BaRA A configuration either matched or exceeded the ΔT of the Hotline over all fluid type and flowrate combinations. The BaRA B configuration does not provide comparable thermal performance to the Hotline. Measured flowrates were noticeably slower than manufacturer-quoted values for all intravenous (IV) cannulae used. Conclusion A warm-water bath at 43.0°C with 200 cm of submerged IV tubing provides thermal performance comparable to the Hotline device, with all fluid type and flowrate combinations. Contributions of the study The present study provides an evidence-based method for warming intravenous fluid in resource-limited scenarios.

Differences in obstetrical care and outcomes associated with the proportion of the obstetrician's shift completed. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2021; 225:430.e1-430.e11.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding and improving obstetrical quality and safety is an important goal of professional societies, and many interventions such as checklists, safety bundles, educational interventions, or other culture changes have been implemented to improve the quality of care provided to obstetrical patients. Although many factors contribute to delivery decisions, a reduced workload has addressed how provider issues such as fatigue or behaviors surrounding impending shift changes may influence the delivery mode and outcomes. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess whether intrapartum obstetrical interventions and adverse outcomes differ based on the temporal proximity of the delivery to the attending's shift change. STUDY DESIGN This was a secondary analysis from a multicenter obstetrical cohort in which all patients with cephalic, singleton gestations who attempted vaginal birth were eligible for inclusion. The primary exposure used to quantify the relationship between the proximity of the provider to their shift change and a delivery intervention was the ratio of time from the most recent attending shift change to vaginal delivery or decision for cesarean delivery to the total length of the shift. Ratios were used to represent the proportion of time completed in the shift by normalizing for varying shift lengths. A sensitivity analysis restricted to patients who were delivered by physicians working 12-hour shifts was performed. Outcomes chosen included cesarean delivery, episiotomy, third- or fourth-degree perineal laceration, 5-minute Apgar score of <4, and neonatal intensive care unit admission. Chi-squared tests were used to evaluate outcomes based on the proportion of the attending's shift completed. Adjusted and unadjusted logistic models fitting a cubic spline (when indicated) were used to determine whether the frequency of outcomes throughout the shift occurred in a statistically significant, nonlinear pattern RESULTS: Of the 82,851 patients eligible for inclusion, 47,262 (57%) had ratio data available and constituted the analyzable sample. Deliveries were evenly distributed throughout shifts, with 50.6% taking place in the first half of shifts. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of cesarean delivery, episiotomy, third- or fourth-degree perineal lacerations, or 5-minute Apgar scores of <4 based on the proportion of the shift completed. The findings were unchanged when evaluated with a cubic spline in unadjusted and adjusted logistic models. Sensitivity analyses performed on the 22.2% of patients who were delivered by a physician completing a 12-hour shift showed similar findings. There was a small increase in the frequency of neonatal intensive care unit admissions with a greater proportion of the shift completed (adjusted P=.009), but the findings did not persist in the sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION Clinically significant differences in obstetrical interventions and outcomes do not seem to exist based on the temporal proximity to the attending physician's shift change. Future work should attempt to directly study unit culture and provider fatigue to further investigate opportunities to improve obstetrical quality of care, and additional studies are needed to corroborate these findings in community settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following the implementation of pandemic response measures, concerns arose regarding the impact for population health and wellbeing. METHODS This study reports findings from a survey (N = 2510) conducted in Warwickshire (UK) during August and September 2020, and for the first time investigates behaviours which may worsen or mitigate the association between COVID-19-related stressors and wellbeing. RESULTS Increased stressors were associated with lower mental wellbeing and higher loneliness. Participants with a mental health condition reported lower wellbeing, as did younger groups, women and participants not in employment. To cope with restrictions, more participants engaged in healthier behaviours over unhealthy behaviours, and relaxing reduced the association between stressors and poor wellbeing. Some participants reported increasing alcohol and unhealthy dietary behaviours to cope with restrictions, however, these behaviours did not mitigate the impact of COVID-19 stressors and were instead negatively associated with wellbeing. Around half of participants helped neighbours during the pandemic, a behaviour positively associated with wellbeing particularly among older adults. CONCLUSION These findings contribute understanding about how various positive and negative health behaviours may mitigate or worsen the impact of COVID-19 on wellbeing, and how public health interventions may effectively target behaviours and groups in similar populations.

Abstract
We measured two-neutrino double beta decay of ^{130}Te using an exposure of 300.7 kg yr accumulated with the CUORE detector. Using a Bayesian analysis to fit simulated spectra to experimental data, it was possible to disentangle all the major background sources and precisely measure the two-neutrino contribution. The half-life is in agreement with past measurements with a strongly reduced uncertainty: T_{1/2}^{2ν}=7.71_{-0.06}^{+0.08}(stat)_{-0.15}^{+0.12}(syst)×10^{20} yr. This measurement is the most precise determination of the ^{130}Te 2νββ decay half-life to date.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Locally advanced rectal cancer is routinely treated with neo-adjuvant long course chemoradiotherapy or short course radiotherapy, followed by total mesorectal excision. Not all patients respond to this treatment and there has been an emergence of novel treatment strategies designed to improve outcomes for these patients. This systematic review aims to assess the current novel neo-adjuvant treatment strategies being utilised in the treatment of patients with rectal cancer and how these impact pathological complete response (pCR) rates. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed to evaluate pathological response in patients with rectal cancer receiving novel neo-adjuvant therapy. EMBASE and Medline electronic databases were searched for relevant articles. Articles published between January 2008 and February 2019 were retrieved. Included studies underwent critical appraisal and complete pathological response rates were recorded. RESULTS Of the initial 1074 articles identified, 217 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria, of these 60 articles (4359 patients) were included. Neo-adjuvant therapy delivered included novel long course chemoradiation therapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone, addition of a biological agent, total neo-adjuvant therapy, novel short course radiation therapy and studies utilising biomarkers to select patients for therapy. Complete pathological response rates ranged from 0 to 60%. CONCLUSION A validated novel neo-adjuvant therapy that significantly increases pCR rates in patients with rectal cancer has not been identified.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review (SR) assessed the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of cell-based therapy to manage limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), a sight-threatening orphan condition most frequently associated with severe chemical or thermal burns. LSCD has historically been treated by transplanting limbal tissue. In 1997, a new treatment, cultured limbal epithelial autografts, was described for unilateral LSCD. In cases of bilateral disease cultured autologous oral mucosa stem cells have been used. The relative efficacy of different cultured tissue procedures is unknown. METHODS A protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42017081117). Searches were conducted in 14 databases and 6 conference websites. Two reviewers independently selected studies, conducted data extraction and assessed risk of bias. One reviewer extracted individual patient data (IPD); a second checked extracted data. Data were assessed to determine the feasibility of statistical analysis, with Bayesian synthesis used to estimate improvement achieved by different treatments. RESULTS Fifty-two studies were eligible for inclusion (1113 eyes); 41 studies (716 eyes) reported IPD. No evidence was identified on cost-effectiveness. This SR was unable to confirm that any of the types of ex vivo cultured stem cell transplants identified for LSCD treatment were statistically superior when assessed against the outcomes of interest. CONCLUSIONS We believe this SR is the first to include IPD analysis of LSCD data. There is no evidence for the superiority of any method of limbal stem cell transplant. Confirmation of the safety and efficacy of this treatment modality is challenging due to heterogeneity within and between the studies identified. Therefore, recommendations for future research are proposed.

Abstract
We report new results from the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ^{130} Te with the CUORE detector. This search benefits from a fourfold increase in exposure, lower trigger thresholds, and analysis improvements relative to our previous results. We observe a background of (1.38±0.07)×10^{-2} counts/(keV kg yr)) in the 0νββ decay region of interest and, with a total exposure of 372.5 kg yr, we attain a median exclusion sensitivity of 1.7×10^{25} yr. We find no evidence for 0νββ decay and set a 90% credibility interval Bayesian lower limit of 3.2×10^{25} yr on the ^{130} Te half-life for this process. In the hypothesis that 0νββ decay is mediated by light Majorana neutrinos, this results in an upper limit on the effective Majorana mass of 75-350 meV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basic military training (BMT) is a useful model of prolonged exposure to multiple stressors. 8-12 week BMT is associated with perturbations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis which could predispose recruits to injury and psychological strain. However, characterisations of HPA axis adaptations during BMT have not been comprehensive and most studies included few if any women. METHODS We studied women undertaking an arduous, 44-week BMT programme in the UK. Anxiety, depression and resilience questionnaires, average hair cortisol concentration (HCC), morning and evening saliva cortisol and morning plasma cortisol were assessed at regular intervals throughout. A 1-h dynamic cortisol response to 1 μg adrenocorticotrophic hormone-1-24 was performed during weeks 1 and 29. RESULTS Fifty-three women (aged 24 ± 2.5 years) completed the study. Questionnaires demonstrated increased depression and reduced resilience during training (F 6.93 and F 7.24, respectively, both p < 0.001). HCC increased from 3 months before training to the final 3 months of training (median (IQR) 9.63 (5.38, 16.26) versus 11.56 (6.2, 22.45) pg/mg, p = 0.003). Morning saliva cortisol increased during the first 7 weeks of training (0.44 ± 0.23 versus 0.59 ± 0.24 μg/dl p < 0.001) and decreased thereafter, with no difference between the first and final weeks (0.44 ± 0.23 versus 0.38 ± 0.21 μg/dl, p = 0.2). Evening saliva cortisol did not change. Fasting cortisol decreased during training (beginning, mid and end-training concentrations: 701 ± 134, 671 ± 158 and 561 ± 177 nmol/l, respectively, p < 0.001). Afternoon basal cortisol increased during training while there was a trend towards increased peak stimulated cortisol (177 ± 92 versus 259 ± 13 nmol/l, p = 0.003, and 589 ± 164 versus 656 ± 135, p = 0.058, respectively). DISCUSSION These results suggest a normal stress response in early training was followed quickly by habituation, despite psychological and physical stress evidenced by questionnaire scores and HCC, respectively. There was no evidence of HPA axis maladaptation. These observations are reassuring for women undertaking arduous employment.

Abstract
Abstract
A multilaboratory study was conducted to compare the automated BAX® system and the standard cultural methods for detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods. Six food types (frankfurters, soft cheese, smoked salmon, raw, ground beef, fresh radishes, and frozen peas) were analyzed by each method. For each food type, 3 inoculation levels were tested: high (average of 2 CFU/g), low (average of 0.2 CFU/g) and uninoculated controls. A total of 25 laboratories representing government and industry participated. Of the 2335 samples analyzed, 1109 were positive by the BAX system and 1115 were positive by the standard method. A Chi square analysis of each of the 6 food types, at the 3 inoculation levels tested, was performed. For all foods, except radishes, the BAX system performed as well as or better than the standard reference methods based on the Chi square results.

Abstract
Abstract
A multilaboratory study was conducted to compare the automated BAX® System to the standard cultural methods for detection of Salmonella in selected foods. Five food types—frankfurters, raw ground beef, mozzarella cheese, raw frozen tilapia fish, and orange juice—at 3 inoculation levels, were analyzed by each method. A sixth food type, raw ground chicken, was tested using 3 naturally contaminated lots. A total of 16 laboratories representing government and industry participated. In this study, 1386 samples were analyzed, of which 1188 were paired samples and 198 were unpaired samples. Of the 1188 paired samples, 461 were positive by both methods and 404 were negative by both methods. Thirty-seven samples were positive by the BAX System but negative by the standard reference method, and 11 samples were positive by standard cultural method and negative by the BAX System. Of the 198 unpaired samples, 106 were positive by the BAX System and 60 were positive by the standard cultural method. A Chi square analysis of each of the 6 food types, at the 3 inoculation levels tested, was performed. For all foods, the BAX System demonstrated results comparable to those of the standard reference methods based on the Chi square results.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To quantitate breast cancer incidence (BrCa-I) and mortality (BrCa-M) outcome differences between the two Women's Health Initiative (WHI) HRT trials,1,2 the ratio of hazards was calculated for estrogen-alone based hormone replacement therapy (E-HRT) vs. placebo (P), and E + progestin Provera (ProgProv) combination HRT vs. P trials.
METHODS: Hazard ratios (HR) of BrCa-I and BrCa-M and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained from both WHI HRT trials. Subsequently, to compare BrCa outcomes between E-HRT vs. E + ProgProv, the ratios of HRs between the trials (HR1/HR2) were estimated separately for i. BrCa-I all women, ii. BrCa-I low Gail score (Gail score <1.75*), and iii. BrCa-M. The 95% CI was derived through logarithmic transformation of the 95% CI originally reported.
RESULTS:
Outcome Comparison, the two WHI HRT randomized trials. Ratio of Hazards, BrCa Incidence and BrCa mortality E-HRT vs. P, HR1 (95% CI)E-HRT + ProgProv vs. P, HR2 (95% CI)HR1/HR2 (95% CI)pBrCa-I All Woman10.77 (0.62-0.95)1.25 (1.07-1.46)0.62 (0.47-0.80)0.0004BrCa-I Low Gail Score* (Gail score <1.75)10.65 (0.50-0.86)1.24 (1.01-1.51)0.53 (0.38-0.74)0.0002BrCa-M20.55 (0.33-0.92)1.44 (0.97-2.15)0.38 (0.20-0.75)0.004*Gail score <1.75; HRs calculated from Reference 1, Figure 3
CONCLUSIONS: Our calculations show that the different outcomes between the two WHI HRT trials, estimated as ratio of hazards, are highly significant on statistical basis, both for BrCa incidence and for BrCa mortality. These findings highlight the potential carcinogenic impact of ProgProv and the major public health benefits of HRT based on E alone.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare, in the setting of breast cancer (BrCa) prevention, the impact of estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy (E-HRT) vs. tamoxifen (TAM) on breast cancer mortality (BrCa-M) and breast cancer case fatality ratio (BrCa-CFR), by analyzing data from the Women's Health Initiative Trial 2 (WHI HRT Trial 2, E-HRT vs. placebo [P])1 and the International Breast Cancer Intervention Study 1 (IBIS-1), TAM vs. P.2
METHODS: Hazard ratios (HR) and confidence intervals (CI) for BrCa incidence and mortality were extracted from the original WHI HRT Trial 2 and IBIS-1 trials.1,2 BrCa-CFRs were estimated by dividing the mortality HR by the incidence HR. Subsequently, to compare E-HRT vs. TAM outcomes, the ratios of HRs (HR1/HR2) between the two trials were estimated separately for BrCa-M and BrCa-CFR. The 95% CI was derived through logarithmic transformation of the 95% CI originally reported.
RESULTS:
Mortality and Case Fatality Outcomes: Impact of E-HRT versus TAM, expressed as ratio of HRs E-HRT vs. Placebo, HR1TAM vs. Placebo, HR2HR1/HR2pMortality0.55 (0.33-0.92)1.19 (0.68-2.10)0.46 (0.22-0.99)0.046Case Fatality0.70 (0.40-1.20)1.68 (0.93-3.01)0.42 (0.18-0.94)0.040
CONCLUSIONS: While acknowledging between-trial comparisons including eligibility differences, E-HRT yields significant reductions in BrCa mortality and case fatality as compared with TAM (54% and 58% respectively). These unexpected breast cancer mortality reductions represent major public health gains, additional to the already known superiority of E-HRT over TAM in terms of skeletal fracture rates and Alzheimer's dementia mortality reduction, and, in women entering menopause, also of cardiac and all-cause mortality reductions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare professionals are required to access, interpret and generate patient data in the digital environment, and use this information to deliver and optimise patient care. Healthcare students are rarely exposed to the technology, or given the opportunity to use this during their training, which can impact on the digital competence of the graduating workforce. In this study we set out to develop and define domains of competence and associated learning outcomes needed by healthcare graduates to commence working in a digital healthcare environment. METHOD A National Working Group was established in the UK to integrate Electronic Patient Records (EPRs) into undergraduate education for healthcare students studying medicine, pharmacy, nursing and midwifery. The working group, comprising 12 academic institutions and representatives from NHS England, NHS Digital and EPR system providers, met to discuss and document key learning outcomes required for using EPRs in the healthcare environment. Outcomes were grouped into six key domains and refined by the group prior to external review by experts working in medical education or with EPRs. RESULTS Six key domains of competence and associated learning outcomes were identified and defined. External expert review provided iterative refinement and amendment. The agreed domains were: 1) Digital Health: work as a practitioner in the digital healthcare environment; 2) Accessing Data: access and interpret patient data to inform clinical decision-making; 3) Communication: communicate effectively with healthcare professionals and patients in the digital environment; 4) Generating data: generate data for and about patients within the EPR; 5) Multidisciplinary working: work with healthcare professionals with and alongside EPRs; and 6) Monitoring and audit: monitor and improve the quality and safety of healthcare. CONCLUSION The six domains of competence and associated learning outcomes can be used by academics to guide the integration of EPRs into undergraduate healthcare programmes. This is key to ensuring that the future healthcare workforce can work with and alongside EPRs.

Abstract
Background Computed tomography (CT) has been used to estimate body composition and determine tissue distribution in dogs, despite limited validation. This may introduce error into estimates of body composition studies and its effect on health in dogs. Further, the modality has not been validated against dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or over a wide range of dog breeds, ages and sexes. The objective of this study was to validate the use of semi-automated, abdominal volume CT for estimating total body composition of dogs relative to DXA. Twenty-two staff-owned dogs (weighing between 5.1-60 kg) were sedated and underwent full body DXA scan and abdominal CT. Abdominal tissue composition was estimated by CT using semi-automated volume segmentation, over predetermined tissue Hounsfield threshold values. Abdominal tissue composition determined by the various CT threshold ranges was compared to total body composition determined by DXA. Results Abdominal tissue composition estimated by CT strongly correlated with the estimates derived from DXA with a small Bland-Altman mean percentage differences in values: total body mass (− 250/2000HU: r2 = 0.985; − 1.10%); total fat mass (− 250/-25HU: r2 = 0.981; − 1.90%); total lean tissue mass (− 25/150HU: r2 = 0.972; 3.47%); and total bone mineral content (150/2000HU: r2 = 0.900; − 0.87%). Although averaged CT values compared well to DXA analysis, there was moderate variation in the individual predicted values. There was near perfect inter- and intra-observer agreement in segmentation volumes for abdominal fat. Conclusions Abdominal volume computed tomography (CT) accurately and reliably estimates total body composition in dogs, but greater variations may be observed in dogs weighing less than 10 kg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies of early-term birth after demonstrated fetal lung maturity show that respiratory and other outcomes are worse with early-term birth (370-386 weeks) even after demonstrated fetal lung maturity when compared with full-term birth (390-406 weeks). However, these studies included medically indicated births and are therefore potentially limited by confounding by the indication for delivery. Thus, the increase in adverse outcomes might be due to the indication for early-term birth rather than the early-term birth itself. OBJECTIVE We examined the prevalence and risks of adverse neonatal outcomes associated with early-term birth after confirmed fetal lung maturity as compared with full-term birth in the absence of indications for early delivery. STUDY DESIGN This is a secondary analysis of an observational study of births to 115,502 women in 25 hospitals in the United States from 2008 through 2011. Singleton nonanomalous births at 37-40 weeks with no identifiable indication for delivery were included; early-term births after positive fetal lung maturity testing were compared with full-term births. The primary outcome was a composite of death, ventilator for ≥2 days, continuous positive airway pressure, proven sepsis, pneumonia or meningitis, treated hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia (phototherapy), and 5-minute Apgar <7. Logistic regression and propensity score matching (both 1:1 and 1:2) were used. RESULTS In all, 48,137 births met inclusion criteria; the prevalence of fetal lung maturity testing in the absence of medical or obstetric indications for early delivery was 0.52% (n = 249). There were 180 (0.37%) early-term births after confirmed pulmonary maturity and 47,957 full-term births. Women in the former group were more likely to be non-Hispanic white, smoke, have received antenatal steroids, have induction, and have a cesarean. Risks of the composite (16.1% vs 5.4%; adjusted odds ratio, 3.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.1-4.8 from logistic regression) were more frequent with elective early-term birth. Propensity scores matching confirmed the increased primary composite in elective early-term births: adjusted odds ratios, 4.3 (95% confidence interval, 1.8-10.5) for 1:1 and 3.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.8-6.5) for 1:2 matching. Among components of the primary outcome, CPAP use and hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy were significantly increased. Transient tachypnea of the newborn, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and prolonged neonatal intensive care unit stay (>2 days) were also increased with early-term birth. CONCLUSION Even with confirmed pulmonary maturity, early-term birth in the absence of medical or obstetric indications is associated with worse neonatal respiratory and hepatic outcomes compared with full-term birth, suggesting relative immaturity of these organ systems in early-term births.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a method to measure regional impedance changes within the thorax. The total tidal impedance variation has been used to measure changes in tidal volumes in pigs, dogs and men. OBJECTIVES To assess the ability of EIT to quantify changes in tidal volume in anaesthetised mechanically ventilated horses. STUDY DESIGN In vivo experimental study. METHODS Six horses (mean ± s.d.: age 11.5 ± 7.5 years and body weight 491 ± 40 kg) were anaesthetised using isoflurane in oxygen. The lungs were mechanically ventilated using a volume-controlled mode. With an end-tidal carbon dioxide tension in the physiological range, and a set tidal volume (VTvent ) of 11-16 mL/kg (baseline volume), EIT data and VT measured by conventional spirometry were collected over 1 min. Thereafter, VTvent was changed in 1 L steps until reaching 10 L. After, VTvent was reduced to 1 L below the baseline volume and then further reduced in 1 L steps until 4 L. On each VT step data were recorded for 1 min after allowing 1 min of stabilisation. Impedance changes within the predefined two lung regions of interest (EITROI ) and the whole image (EITthorax ) were calculated. Linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between spirometry data and EITROI and EITthorax for individual horses and pooled data. RESULTS Both EITROI and EITthorax significantly predicted spirometry data for individual horses with R2 ranging from 0.937 to 0.999 and from 0.954 to 0.997 respectively. This was similar for pooled data from all six horses with EITROI (R2 = 0.799; P<0.001) and EITthorax (R2 = 0.841; P<0.001). MAIN LIMITATIONS The method was only tested in healthy mechanically ventilated horses. CONCLUSIONS The EIT can be used to quantify changes in tidal volume.

Abstract
The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The array represents a significant advancement in this technology, and in this work we apply it for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ^{130}Te neutrinoless double-beta decay. Examining a total TeO_{2} exposure of 86.3 kg yr, characterized by an effective energy resolution of (7.7±0.5) keV FWHM and a background in the region of interest of (0.014±0.002) counts/(keV kg yr), we find no evidence for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Including systematic uncertainties, we place a lower limit on the decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.3×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.); the median statistical sensitivity of this search is 7.0×10^{24} yr. Combining this result with those of two earlier experiments, Cuoricino and CUORE-0, we find T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.5×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.), which is the most stringent limit to date on this decay. Interpreting this result as a limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass, we find m_{ββ}<(110-520) meV, where the range reflects the nuclear matrix element estimates employed.
