Abstract
This Call to Action aims to provide key considerations for cardiovascular nursing, related to climate and environmental impacts. Strategies to optimise nursing preparation, immediate response and adaptation to climate emergencies are crucial to ensure those at greatest risk, including First Nations peoples, are protected from potentially avoidable harm. Professionals who manage climate consequences must also understand the impact of their care on the root cause of the problem.

Abstract
The antigenic profile of human embryonic stem (ES) and embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells has served as a key element of their characterization, with a common panel of surface and intracellular markers now widely used. Such markers have been used to identify cells within the 'undifferentiated state', yet it appears that this categorization may be an oversimplification, because a number of sub-states appear to exist within this state. To increase the resolution of the undifferentiated state, we have generated eight novel monoclonal antibodies, all capable of recognizing undifferentiated human ES and EC cells, and herein describe their characterization. The reactivity of these antibodies against a range of cell lines is reported, as well as their developmental regulation, basic biochemistry and reactivity in immunohistochemistry of testicular germ cell tumours. Our data reveal a range of reactivity for all antibodies against both ES and EC cells, suggesting that these markers will afford recognition of unique sub-states within the undifferentiated stem cell compartment.

Abstract
Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection results in disparate clinical syndromes among ruminant species. An in vitro model system of BTV/target cell interaction was developed using umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC)from fetal lambs and calves. These cells had microscopic, ultrastructural, and immunocytochemical features typical of EC. BTV infection in these cells was examined using virus binding assays, plaque assays, a whole-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, electron microscopy, and a bioassay for interferon activity. EC from both species supported cytopathic BTV infections. Ovine EC bound more BTV initially and produced more virus over time, whereas bovine EC underwent more rapid lysis subsequent to infection. An ultrastructural comparison of BTV-infected ovine and bovine EC, grown as differentiated capillary-like cords on a laminin-rich matrix or as monolayers, revealed no significant interspecies differences in viral morphogenesis between 1 minute and 24 hours after infection. The intracellular distribution of BTV nonstructural protein 1, which localized to virus inclusion bodies and tubules, was identical for ovine and bovine endothelial cells. Ovine and bovine EC produced a soluble mediator of interferon activity in response to BTV infection; however, ovine EC produced higher levels of interferon activity at lower levels of infection. These findings indicate differences in BTV-EC interaction that may contribute to the pathogenesis of the severe inflammatory disease that is characteristic of clinical bluetongue disease in sheep.

Abstract
A chronic progressive neurodegeneration, called hereditary porcine neuronal system degeneration (HPNSD), was recognized in a swine herd in Devon, England. Adult pigs that were presumed carriers of the dominantly inherited trait for HPNSD were transferred from England, where a breeding colony was maintained for 9 years, to the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory (WSVL) for study. Two litters of affected piglets were born to 2 carrier sows at the WSVL. Clinical signs of muscular tremors, paresis, or ataxia developed at 12-59 days of age in 4 of 6 liveborn pigs. Three other pigs were stillborn. In the 4 affected liveborn pigs, clinical signs progressed and included symmetrical (3 pigs) or asymmetrical (1 pig) posterior paresis, bilateral knuckling of metatarsal-phalangeal or carpal joints, poor exercise tolerance, and in 1 pig, marked hind limb hypermetria. A 34-kg gilt exhibiting clinical signs of muscular tremors and posterior paresis and clinical signs for 22 days was euthanized and examined postmortem at 83 days of age. Apart from decubitus ulcers, gross lesions were absent. Microscopically, perikaryal vacuolation and osmiophilic lipid droplets were observed in atrophic alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord. There was axonal (Wallerian) degeneration in sulcomarginal and dorsal spinocerebellar tracts. Axonal degeneration also involved ventral but not dorsal spinal nerve roots, and was present in eight peripheral nerves sampled for histopathology. Changes in skeletal muscles were consistent with denervation atrophy and were most pronounced in M. tibialis cranialis of the 6 muscles sampled. Immunohistochemical staining of spinal cord for phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated neurofilaments did not reveal abnormal patterns, unlike some well-characterized inherited motor neuron diseases in other species.
