Abstract
AIM This study explored self-management practices in relation to traditional methods for managing illness in newborns and infants and the implications of these practices on infant health. BACKGROUND Self-medication with folk remedies is believed to have short- and long-term impacts on well-being. Little is known about how mothers in Arab societies used their traditional beliefs and practices in self-managing their newborns' and infants' health. METHODS Data were collected from five focus groups using open-ended questions with 37 mothers. Participants were selected using snowball sampling and were recruited from four different cities in Jordan between June 2016 and August 2016. ETHICAL APPROVAL All identifying information regarding the study participants has been omitted, and this study was approved by the Academic Research Committee at the University of Jordan. FINDINGS Mothers were more willing to try herbal remedies, traditional massage and certain foods to self-manage their infants' health. Folk remedies were not restricted to traditions handed down through generations, but included a representation of newly emerged trends towards 'safety' or 'nature'. CONCLUSIONS While the use of folk remedies have been handed down generations as customs, today, virtual support groups and social media provide modern resources for folk remedies' promotion in care and self-management. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY Nursing and health policymakers can use our findings for planning and developing strategies and health policies that increase public awareness about adverse health effects associated with herbal remedies. Such strategies are likely to be facilitated through partnerships between nursing and midwifery education institutions, antenatal clinics and social media in the region.

Abstract
Recent studies using direct live cell imaging have reported that individual B lymphocytes have correlated transit times between their G1 and S/G2/M phases. This finding is in contradiction with the influential model of Smith and Martin that assumed the bulk of the total cell cycle time variation arises in the G1 phase of the cell cycle with little contributed by the S/G2/M phase. Here we extend these studies to examine the relation between cell cycle phase lengths in two B lymphoma cell lines. We report that transformed B lymphoma cells undergo a short G1 period that displays little correlation with the time taken for the subsequent S/G2/M phase. Consequently, the bulk of the variation noted for total division times within a population is found in the S/G2/M phases and not the G1 phase. Models that reverse the expected source of variation and assume a single deterministic time in G1 followed by a lag + exponential distribution for S/G2/M fit the data well. These models can be improved further by adopting two sequential distributions or by using the stretched lognormal model developed for primary lymphocytes. We propose that shortening of G1 transit times and uncoupling from other cell cycle phases may be a hallmark of lymphocyte transformation that could serve as an observable phenotypic marker of cancer evolution.

Abstract
The Daya Bay experiment has observed correlations between reactor core fuel evolution and changes in the reactor antineutrino flux and energy spectrum. Four antineutrino detectors in two experimental halls were used to identify 2.2 million inverse beta decays (IBDs) over 1230 days spanning multiple fuel cycles for each of six 2.9 GW_{th} reactor cores at the Daya Bay and Ling Ao nuclear power plants. Using detector data spanning effective ^{239}Pu fission fractions F_{239} from 0.25 to 0.35, Daya Bay measures an average IBD yield σ[over ¯]_{f} of (5.90±0.13)×10^{-43} cm^{2}/fission and a fuel-dependent variation in the IBD yield, dσ_{f}/dF_{239}, of (-1.86±0.18)×10^{-43} cm^{2}/fission. This observation rejects the hypothesis of a constant antineutrino flux as a function of the ^{239}Pu fission fraction at 10 standard deviations. The variation in IBD yield is found to be energy dependent, rejecting the hypothesis of a constant antineutrino energy spectrum at 5.1 standard deviations. While measurements of the evolution in the IBD spectrum show general agreement with predictions from recent reactor models, the measured evolution in total IBD yield disagrees with recent predictions at 3.1σ. This discrepancy indicates that an overall deficit in the measured flux with respect to predictions does not result from equal fractional deficits from the primary fission isotopes ^{235}U, ^{239}Pu, ^{238}U, and ^{241}Pu. Based on measured IBD yield variations, yields of (6.17±0.17) and (4.27±0.26)×10^{-43} cm^{2}/fission have been determined for the two dominant fission parent isotopes ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu. A 7.8% discrepancy between the observed and predicted ^{235}U yields suggests that this isotope may be the primary contributor to the reactor antineutrino anomaly.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: BRCA1 mutation carriers commonly undergo prophylactic mastectomy to reduce their risk of breast cancer. The precise role of chemoprevention with tamoxifen, which reduces the incidence of ER-positive breast cancer in the general population, is uncertain for BRCA1 mutation carriers, where uptake has been modest. The identification of an effective and acceptable prevention therapy therefore remains a 'holy grail' for the field. Precancerous BRCA1mut/+ tissue harbors an aberrant population of luminal progenitor cells and deregulated progesterone signaling has been implicated in BRCA1-associated oncogenesis. Since Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) is a key paracrine effector of progesterone signaling, and RANKL and its receptor RANK contribute to mammary tumorigenesis, we investigated a role for this pathway in the preneoplastic phase of BRCA1 mutation carriers.
Methods: We explored a role for the RANK/RANKL pathway during the preneoplastic phase in freshly isolated (histologically normal) patient specimens from BRCA1 mutation carriers using several approaches. RANK and RANKL expression in breast cancer was evaluated in formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) archival sections by IHC from the kConFab and the Amgen Tissue Banks. All samples were obtained with patient consent and relevant IRB approval. A role for RANKL inhibition in attenuating tumor onset was studied using the MMTV-cre/Brca1fl/fl/p53+/– mouse model that recapitulates human basal-like breast cancer.
Results: We identified two subsets of luminal progenitors (RANK+ and RANK–) in histologically normal tissue of BRCA1 mutation carriers and found that RANK+ cells are highly proliferative, exhibit grossly aberrant DNA repair and bear a molecular signature similar to that of basal-like breast cancer. Moreover, high levels of RANK expression prevailed in established BRCA1-associated tumors. These data suggest that RANK+ and not RANK– progenitors are a key target population in these women. Notably, inhibition of RANKL signaling by denosumab in 3D breast organoids derived from pre-neoplastic BRCA1mut/+ tissue attenuated progesterone-induced proliferation. Furthermore, inhibition of RANKL with either the RANKL inhibitor OPG-Fc or a RANKL monoclonal antibody in a Brca1-deficient mouse model significantly curtailed mammary tumorigenesis, when compared to controls (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Together these findings identify a targetable pathway in a putative cell of origin population in BRCA1 mutation carriers and implicate RANKL blockade as a promising breast cancer prevention strategy.

Abstract
Searches for a light sterile neutrino have been performed independently by the MINOS and the Daya Bay experiments using the muon (anti)neutrino and electron antineutrino disappearance channels, respectively. In this Letter, results from both experiments are combined with those from the Bugey-3 reactor neutrino experiment to constrain oscillations into light sterile neutrinos. The three experiments are sensitive to complementary regions of parameter space, enabling the combined analysis to probe regions allowed by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) and MiniBooNE experiments in a minimally extended four-neutrino flavor framework. Stringent limits on sin^{2}2θ_{μe} are set over 6 orders of magnitude in the sterile mass-squared splitting Δm_{41}^{2}. The sterile-neutrino mixing phase space allowed by the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments is excluded for Δm_{41}^{2}<0.8 eV^{2} at 95% CL_{s}.

Abstract
This Letter reports an improved search for light sterile neutrino mixing in the electron antineutrino disappearance channel with the full configuration of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. With an additional 404 days of data collected in eight antineutrino detectors, this search benefits from 3.6 times the statistics available to the previous publication, as well as from improvements in energy calibration and background reduction. A relative comparison of the rate and energy spectrum of reactor antineutrinos in the three experimental halls yields no evidence of sterile neutrino mixing in the 2×10^{-4}≲|Δm_{41}^{2}|≲0.3 eV^{2} mass range. The resulting limits on sin^{2}2θ_{14} are improved by approx imately a factor of 2 over previous results and constitute the most stringent constraints to date in the |Δm_{41}^{2}|≲0.2 eV^{2} region.

Abstract
We report results of a search for oscillations involving a light sterile neutrino over distances of 1.04 and 735 km in a ν_{μ}-dominated beam with a peak energy of 3 GeV. The data, from an exposure of 10.56×10^{20} protons on target, are analyzed using a phenomenological model with one sterile neutrino. We constrain the mixing parameters θ_{24} and Δm_{41}^{2} and set limits on parameters of the four-dimensional Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix, |U_{μ4}|^{2} and |U_{τ4}|^{2}, under the assumption that mixing between ν_{e} and ν_{s} is negligible (|U_{e4}|^{2}=0). No evidence for ν_{μ}→ν_{s} transitions is found and we set a world-leading limit on θ_{24} for values of Δm_{41}^{2}≲1 eV^{2}.

Abstract
UNLABELLED WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Loneliness in older adults has been identified as an important public health issue in many countries. Widowhood is a time when many older people experience loneliness. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: Little is known about strategies that are effective in mitigating experiences of loneliness and this paper explores this with older people who have been through the process. The narratives of the older people in this study described a trajectory in which loneliness was experienced as both a loss of spouse and a loss of routines that enabled them to maintain connections with others. This trajectory moved onto the establishment of new routines that enabled connections to be developed. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: Loneliness is strongly associated with depression and anxiety in the elderly and mental health nurses should be encouraged to screen for loneliness when undertaking assessments. Interventions that facilitate the development of meaningful routines could be integrated into mental health nursing care of older people. ABSTRACT Background Loneliness in older people is a public health concern in many Western countries. While not necessarily a symptom of mental disorder, it is often associated with depression and anxiety. Widowhood is a transition period during which many older people experience acute loneliness but over time develops strategies to manage it. Little is known about effective strategies that older people have used to manage the experience. The strategies older people used to manage this was the focus of this paper. Aim The aim was to examine older widows' experiences of loneliness. Design The design of this study was a qualitative narrative analysis with thematic analysis and the participants were 40 older widow/widowers aged between 70 and 97 years. Findings The study found that the participants negotiated the experience of loneliness following widowhood from an acute phase of experiencing an absence and the associated loss of routine connection to the establishment of new routines that provided new connections and a new sense of identity as an individual rather than a couple. Conclusions It is important for mental health nurses to screen for loneliness and be able to facilitate interventions that may alleviate the experience of loneliness.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is essential to match the size of blood vessel networks to the metabolic demands of growing tissues. While many genes and pathways necessary for regulating angiogenesis have been identified, those responsible for endothelial cell (EC) survival during angiogenesis remain largely unknown. We have investigated the in vivo role of myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1), a pro-survival member of the BCL2 family, in EC survival during angiogenesis. EC-specific deletion of Mcl1 resulted in a dose-dependent increase in EC apoptosis in the angiogenic vasculature and a corresponding decline in vessel density. Our results suggest this apoptosis was independent of the BH3-only protein BIM. Despite the known link between apoptosis and blood vessel regression, this was not the cause of reduced vessel density observed in the absence of endothelial MCL1. Rather, the reduction in vessel density was linked to ectopic apoptosis in regions of the angiogenic vasculature where EC proliferation and new vessel growth occurs. We have therefore identified MCL1 as an essential survival factor for ECs that is required for blood vessel production during angiogenesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: BRCA1 mutation carriers often undergo prophylactic mastectomy to minimize their risk of breast cancer. The value of targeting ovarian hormones to prevent breast tumorigenesis remains contentious and the identification of an effective and acceptable chemoprevention strategy remains a 'holy grail' for the field. Recently, luminal progenitor cells have been identified as the likely cell-of-origin for BRCA1-associated breast tumors1. In addition, deregulated progesterone signaling has been implicated as a potential mechanism underlying tumor development in Brca1-deficient mammary glands2, although its role in luminal progenitor activation in BRCA1 mutation carriers is unknown. RANKL (Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B Ligand) has been identified as a key paracrine effector of progesterone-induced mammary epithelial proliferation in both mouse and human tissue3-5. Notably, RANKL and its receptor RANK play a critical role in the development of breast cancer, with inhibition of RANKL resulting in attenuation of tumorigenesis in mouse models of hormone-driven mammary carcinogenesis6,7.
Methods: We explored a role for the RANK/RANKL pathway during the preneoplastic phase in freshly isolated, histologically normal specimens from BRCA1 mutation carriers using a combination of strategies. RANK and RANKL expression in breast cancer was also evaluated in formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) archival sections by IHC. All samples were obtained with relevant IRB approval. A role for RANKL inhibition in attenuating tumor onset was studied using models that recapitulate human basal-like cancer.
Results: A RANK+ subset of luminal progenitor cells was identified in histologically normal breast tissue from BRCA1-mutation carriers. The RANK+ luminal progenitors exhibited higher proliferative activity compared to RANK- progenitors. RNA profiling revealed a distinctive molecular signature, consistent with the RANK+ subset being a possible target for neoplastic transformation. In established BRCA1-associated breast tumors, a four-fold higher incidence of RANK expression was observed, compared to tumors from non-carriers. In ongoing work, histologically normal pre-neoplastic BRCA1mut/+ tissue is being studied using ex vivo breast organoid assays to determine whether RANKL inhibition can attenuate breast epithelial proliferation.
Conclusions: Our data raise the possibility that RANK signaling is implicated in the initiation of tumorigenesis in BRCA1 mutation carriers (and possibly other high risk women) and that RANKL is a promising chemoprevention target. The findings are of sufficient interest to have led to a clinical trial, BRCA-D (Registered as ACTRN12614000694617). A finalized abstract will be submitted in early September, during the Late-Breaking Abstract submission period.

Abstract
This Letter reports a measurement of the flux and energy spectrum of electron antineutrinos from six 2.9 GWth nuclear reactors with six detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls in the Daya Bay experiment. Using 217 days of data, 296 721 and 41 589 inverse β decay (IBD) candidates were detected in the near and far halls, respectively. The measured IBD yield is (1.55±0.04) ×10(-18) cm(2) GW(-1) day(-1) or (5.92±0.14) ×10(-43) cm(2) fission(-1). This flux measurement is consistent with previous short-baseline reactor antineutrino experiments and is 0.946±0.022 (0.991±0.023) relative to the flux predicted with the Huber-Mueller (ILL-Vogel) fissile antineutrino model. The measured IBD positron energy spectrum deviates from both spectral predictions by more than 2σ over the full energy range with a local significance of up to ∼4σ between 4-6 MeV. A reactor antineutrino spectrum of IBD reactions is extracted from the measured positron energy spectrum for model-independent predictions.

Abstract
We report a new measurement of electron antineutrino disappearance using the fully constructed Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. The final two of eight antineutrino detectors were installed in the summer of 2012. Including the 404 days of data collected from October 2012 to November 2013 resulted in a total exposure of 6.9×10^{5} GW_{th} ton days, a 3.6 times increase over our previous results. Improvements in energy calibration limited variations between detectors to 0.2%. Removal of six ^{241}Am-^{13}C radioactive calibration sources reduced the background by a factor of 2 for the detectors in the experimental hall furthest from the reactors. Direct prediction of the antineutrino signal in the far detectors based on the measurements in the near detectors explicitly minimized the dependence of the measurement on models of reactor antineutrino emission. The uncertainties in our estimates of sin^{2}2θ_{13} and |Δm_{ee}^{2}| were halved as a result of these improvements. An analysis of the relative antineutrino rates and energy spectra between detectors gave sin^{2}2θ_{13}=0.084±0.005 and |Δm_{ee}^{2}|=(2.42±0.11)×10^{-3} eV^{2} in the three-neutrino framework.

Abstract
A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay Reactor Antineutrino Experiment. The experiment's unique configuration of multiple baselines from six 2.9 GW(th) nuclear reactors to six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 m and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls makes it possible to test for oscillations to a fourth (sterile) neutrino in the 10(-3) eV(2)<|Δm(41)(2) |< 0.3 eV(2) range. The relative spectral distortion due to the disappearance of electron antineutrinos was found to be consistent with that of the three-flavor oscillation model. The derived limits on sin(2) 2θ(14) cover the 10(-3) eV(2) ≲ |Δm(41)(2)| ≲ 0.1 eV(2) region, which was largely unexplored.

Abstract
We report on a new analysis of neutrino oscillations in MINOS using the complete set of accelerator and atmospheric data. The analysis combines the ν(μ) disappearance and ν(e) appearance data using the three-flavor formalism. We measure |Δm(32)(2)| = [2.28-2.46] × 10(-3) eV(2) (68% C.L.) and sin(2)θ(23) = 0.35-0.65 (90% C.L.) in the normal hierarchy, and |Δm(32)(2)| = [2.32-2.53] × 10(-3) eV(2) (68% C.L.) and sin(2)θ(23) = 0.34-0.67 (90% C.L.) in the inverted hierarchy. The data also constrain δ(CP), the θ(23} octant degeneracy and the mass hierarchy; we disfavor 36% (11%) of this three-parameter space at 68% (90%) C.L.

Abstract
A measurement of the energy dependence of antineutrino disappearance at the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is reported. Electron antineutrinos (ν¯(e)) from six 2.9 GW(th) reactors were detected with six detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls. Using 217 days of data, 41 589 (203 809 and 92 912) antineutrino candidates were detected in the far hall (near halls). An improved measurement of the oscillation amplitude sin(2)2θ(13)=0.090(-0.009)(+0.008) and the first direct measurement of the ν¯(e) mass-squared difference |Δm(ee)2|=(2.59(-0.20)(+0.19))×10(-3) eV2 is obtained using the observed ν¯(e) rates and energy spectra in a three-neutrino framework. This value of |Δm(ee)2| is consistent with |Δm(μμ)2| measured by muon neutrino disappearance, supporting the three-flavor oscillation model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A cognitive interpersonal maintenance model of anorexia nervosa (AN) was first proposed in 2006 and updated in 2013 (Schmidt and Treasure, J Br J Clin Psychol, 45, 343-366, 2006; Treasure and Schmidt, J Eat Disorders, in press.). The aim of this study was to test the interpersonal component of this model in people with AN requiring intensive hospital treatment (inpatient/day patient). METHOD On admission to hospital women with AN or eating disorder not otherwise specified (AN subtype; n = 152; P) and their primary carers (n = 152; C) completed questionnaires on eating symptoms (P), depression and anxiety (P, C), accommodation and enabling (C), and psychological control (C). Structural equation modeling was used to examine relationships among these components. RESULTS Carers' expressed emotion and level of psychological control were significantly related to carers' distress, which in turn, was related to patients' distress. This pathway significantly predicted eating symptoms in patients. DISCUSSION The cognitive interpersonal maintenance model of eating disorders (EDs) was confirmed in part and suggests that interventions targeting interpersonal maintaining factors such as carer distress might impact on patient outcomes.

Abstract
We report measurements of oscillation parameters from ν(μ) and ν(μ) disappearance using beam and atmospheric data from MINOS. The data comprise exposures of 10.71×10(20) protons on target in the ν(μ)-dominated beam, 3.36×10(20) protons on target in the ν(μ)-enhanced beam, and 37.88 kton yr of atmospheric neutrinos. Assuming identical ν and ν oscillation parameters, we measure |Δm2| = (2.41(-0.10)(+0.09))×10(-3) eV2 and sin2(2θ) = 0.950(-0.036)(+0.035). Allowing independent ν and ν oscillations, we measure antineutrino parameters of |Δm2| = (2.50(-0.25)(+0.23))×10(-3) eV2 and sin2(2θ) = 0.97(-0.08)(+0.03), with minimal change to the neutrino parameters.

Abstract
We report on ν(e) and ν(e) appearance in ν(μ) and ν(μ) beams using the full MINOS data sample. The comparison of these ν(e) and ν(e) appearance data at a 735 km baseline with θ13 measurements by reactor experiments probes δ, the θ23 octant degeneracy, and the mass hierarchy. This analysis is the first use of this technique and includes the first accelerator long-baseline search for ν(μ) → ν(e). Our data disfavor 31% (5%) of the three-parameter space defined by δ, the octant of the θ23, and the mass hierarchy at the 68% (90%) C.L. We measure a value of 2sin(2)(2θ13)sin(2)(θ23) that is consistent with reactor experiments.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in mental health nurses delivering structured short-term evidence-based psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT); however, while there is evidence of the efficacy of psychotherapy for depression, there is limited understanding of the treatment processes. Data were drawn from audio tapes of CBT and IPT sessions for treatment of depression. The transcripts of the initial, middle and final psychotherapy sessions of 40 clients were analysed. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify what was occurring in the sessions, how the client was describing psychotherapy and how the client was describing improvement or lack of improvement in depressive symptoms. There were differences in descriptions of therapy and the experience of depression between clients who responded and those who did not respond to therapy that were related to improvement in symptoms but not to the specific therapy. These differences were in the client's engagement with the language of therapy, sense of optimism about the particular model of psychotherapy, ability to examine their own role in the problem and desire to engage with new ways of being in their lives. Clients who responded to CBT or IPT had flexibility to develop new ways of thinking and acting, the ability to accept responsibility for their role in the identified problem and were willing to risk change.

Abstract
The aim of the study is (1) to assess the feasibility of delivering nurse-led specialist supportive care as an adjunct to usual care in the clinical setting; (2) to examine the relationship between the delivery of specialist supportive care and improved self-efficacy and functioning and reduced depressive symptoms. A randomized controlled trial of the clinical effectiveness of specialist supportive care as an adjunct to usual care was conducted in community mental health services at one site. Participants were randomized to either usual care or usual care and the adjunctive intervention. Self-report measures of depression, general functioning and self-efficacy were completed by participants in both groups at baseline and 9 months. The intervention was delivered parallel to usual treatment arrangements. While recruitment numbers were sufficient, a low rate of engagement meant we were unable to show significant differences in depressive symptoms or self-efficacy between the usual care group and the specialist supportive care plus usual care group. This study demonstrated that it was difficult to engage patients with bipolar disorder in specialist supportive care when they were currently in a mood episode and under the care of community mental health services.

Abstract
We report an improved measurement of ν(μ) disappearance over a distance of 735 km using the MINOS detectors and the Fermilab Main Injector neutrino beam in a ν(μ)-enhanced configuration. From a total exposure of 2.95×10(20) protons on target, of which 42% have not been previously analyzed, we make the most precise measurement of Δm2=[2.62(-0.28)(+0.31)(stat)±0.09(syst)]×10(-3) eV2 and constrain the ν(μ) mixing angle sin2(2θ)>0.75 (90% C.L.). These values are in agreement with Δm2 and sin2(2θ) measured for ν(μ), removing the tension reported in [P. Adamson et al. (MINOS), Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 021801 (2011).].

Abstract
Bipolar disorder is a chronic and recurrent disorder with fluctuating symptoms. Few patients with bipolar disorder experience a simple trajectory of clear-cut episodes, with recovery typically occurring slowly over time. The chronic and disabling course of the disorder has a marked impact on the person's functioning and relationships with others. The objectives of this study were to investigate the impact of bipolar disorder on the lives of people diagnosed with this disorder. The method used was a general inductive qualitative approach. Twenty-one participants were interviewed between 2008 and 2009 about how they had experienced the impact of bipolar disorder. The interviews were audio-taped and transcribed. The core theme that emerged was the participants were feeling out of control. Their own reactions and the reactions of others to the symptoms of bipolar disorder contributed to this core theme. The core theme was constituted by feeling overwhelmed, a loss of autonomy and felling flawed. Mental health nurses can help facilitate a sense of personal control for people with bipolar disorder by exploring what the symptoms mean for that person and implementing strategies to manage the symptoms, address social stigma and facilitate active involvement in treatment.

Abstract
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has measured a nonzero value for the neutrino mixing angle θ(13) with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations. Antineutrinos from six 2.9 GWth reactors were detected in six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (flux-weighted baseline 470 m and 576 m) and one far (1648 m) underground experimental halls. With a 43,000 ton-GWth-day live-time exposure in 55 days, 10,416 (80,376) electron-antineutrino candidates were detected at the far hall (near halls). The ratio of the observed to expected number of antineutrinos at the far hall is R=0.940±0.011(stat.)±0.004(syst.). A rate-only analysis finds sin(2)2θ(13)=0.092±0.016(stat.)±0.005(syst.) in a three-neutrino framework.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the accuracy of Cockcroft-Gault, Jelliffe, Wright and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formulae as a substitute for the gold standard measure of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using chromium 51 EDTA. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of GFR measurements in oncology patients from a University Teaching Hospital over 3 years was carried out. Bias and precision of estimates of GFR were compared with measured GFR. RESULTS Six hundred and sixty patients with measured GFR (median 90 ml/min, range 23-179 ml/min) were identified. Cockcroft-Gault produced the smallest bias (median percentage error -1.4%) and highest precision (median absolute percentage error 14.0%) and was the most accurate for carboplatin dosing. For patients>30% over their ideal body weight (IBW), using IBW+30% in the Cockcroft-Gault formula was more precise than using actual body weight or IBW. The Wright formula was most accurate for patients aged 70+years and patients with a body mass index (BMI)≥30 but overestimated GFR when GFR<50 ml/min. CONCLUSIONS When measured GFR is unavailable, we advise estimating GFR using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and using IBW+30% for patients weighing>30% over their IBW. If the GFR is ≥50 ml/min and the patient is >70 years and/or BMI≥30, the Wright formula gives the best estimate of GFR.

Abstract
We report the results of a search for ν(e) appearance in a ν(μ) beam in the MINOS long-baseline neutrino experiment. With an improved analysis and an increased exposure of 8.2 × 10(20) protons on the NuMI target at Fermilab, we find that 2 sin(2) (θ(23))sin(2)(2θ(13))<0.12(0.20) at 90% confidence level for δ = 0 and the normal (inverted) neutrino mass hierarchy, with a best-fit of 2sin(2) (θ(23))sin(2)(2θ(13)) = 0.041(-0.031)(+0.047) (0.079(-0.053) (+0.071)). The θ(13) = 0 hypothesis is disfavored by the MINOS data at the 89% confidence level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the psychometric properties of the Trans-femoral Fitting Predictor (TFP). DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Hospital sites (N=9). PARTICIPANTS Transfemoral amputees (N=93). INTERVENTION The TFP, a 9-item instrument describing graded tasks, aims to assess the prosthetic potential of transfemoral amputees. The instrument was used in its paper form (N=93) and for a video assessment of a subset of these amputees (n=75). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Reliability and validity of the TFP, both paper and video assessments. RESULTS The TFP yielded Cronbach α of .92, and all intraclass correlation coefficients between values were greater than 0.8, with narrow 95% confidence intervals. Factor analysis suggested the TFP had 2 constructs representing more advanced and less advanced tasks. Both discriminant analysis and logistic regression suggested that tasks 7 (stand with early walking aid [EWA] for 30s) and 8 (walk to the end of the parallel bars with the EWA and turn around) were more predictive of whether an amputee will go on to receive a prosthesis. CONCLUSION The TFP is a simple, valid, and reliable measure of prosthetic potential for transfemoral amputees. Video assessment with the TFP was very successful and in the future could be used for both training purposes and to provide expert assessment through telehealth.

Abstract
This Letter reports the first direct observation of muon antineutrino disappearance. The MINOS experiment has taken data with an accelerator beam optimized for ν(μ) production, accumulating an exposure of 1.71 × 10²⁰ protons on target. In the Far Detector, 97 charged current ν(μ) events are observed. The no-oscillation hypothesis predicts 156 events and is excluded at 6.3σ. The best fit to oscillation yields |Δm²| = [3.36(-0.40)(+0.46)(stat) ± 0.06(syst)] × 10⁻³ eV², sin²(2θ) = 0.86(-0.12)(+0.11)(stat) ± 0.01(syst). The MINOS ν(μ) and ν(μ) measurements are consistent at the 2.0% confidence level, assuming identical underlying oscillation parameters.

Abstract
Results are reported from a search for active to sterile neutrino oscillations in the MINOS long-baseline experiment, based on the observation of neutral-current neutrino interactions, from an exposure to the NuMI neutrino beam of 7.07×10(20) protons on target. A total of 802 neutral-current event candidates is observed in the Far Detector, compared to an expected number of 754 ± 28(stat) ± 37(syst) for oscillations among three active flavors. The fraction f(s) of disappearing ν(μ) that may transition to ν(s) is found to be less than 22% at the 90% C.L.

Abstract
Measurements of neutrino oscillations using the disappearance of muon neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beam as observed by the two MINOS detectors are reported. New analysis methods have been applied to an enlarged data sample from an exposure of 7.25×10(20) protons on target. A fit to neutrino oscillations yields values of |Δm(2)|=(2.32(-0.08)(+0.12))×10(-3) eV(2) for the atmospheric mass splitting and sin(2)(2θ)>0.90 (90% C.L.) for the mixing angle. Pure neutrino decay and quantum decoherence hypotheses are excluded at 7 and 9 standard deviations, respectively.

Abstract
We searched for a sidereal modulation in the MINOS far detector neutrino rate. Such a signal would be a consequence of Lorentz and CPT violation as described by the standard-model extension framework. It also would be the first detection of a perturbative effect to conventional neutrino mass oscillations. We found no evidence for this sidereal signature, and the upper limits placed on the magnitudes of the Lorentz and CPT violating coefficients describing the theory are an improvement by factors of 20-510 over the current best limits found by using the MINOS near detector.

Abstract
This Letter reports on a search for nu(mu) --> nu(e) transitions by the MINOS experiment based on a 3.14x10(20) protons-on-target exposure in the Fermilab NuMI beam. We observe 35 events in the Far Detector with a background of 27+/-5(stat)+/-2(syst) events predicted by the measurements in the Near Detector. If interpreted in terms of nu(mu) --> nu(e) oscillations, this 1.5sigma excess of events is consistent with sin2(2theta(13)) comparable to the CHOOZ limit when |Delta m2|=2.43x10(-3) eV2 and sin2(2theta(23))=1.0 are assumed.

Abstract
High throughput screening (HTS) campaigns, where laboratory automation is used to expose biological targets to large numbers of materials from corporate compound collections, have become commonplace within the lead generation phase of pharmaceutical discovery. Advances in genomics and related fields have afforded a wealth of targets such that screening facilities at larger organizations routinely execute over 100 hit-finding campaigns per year. Often, 10(5) or 10(6) molecules will be tested within a campaign/cycle to locate a large number of actives requiring follow-up investigation. Due to resource constraints at every organization, traditional chemistry methods for validating hits and developing structure activity relationships (SAR) become untenable when challenged with hundreds of hits in multiple chemical families per target. To compound the issue, comparison and prioritization of hits versus multiple screens, or physical chemical property criteria, is made more complex by the informatics issues associated with handling large data sets. This article describes a collaborative research project designed to simultaneously leverage the medicinal chemistry and drug development expertise of the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research Inc. (NIBRI) and ArQule Inc.'s high throughput library design, synthesis and purification capabilities. The work processes developed by the team to efficiently design, prepare, purify, assess and prioritize multiple chemical classes that were identified during high throughput screening, cheminformatics and molecular modeling activities will be detailed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health concerns about the exposure to genotoxic and carcinogenic agents in the air are particularly significant for outdoor workers in less developed countries. AIMS To investigate the association between personal exposure to a group of air pollutants and severity of DNA damage in outdoor workers from two Mexican cities. METHODS DNA damage (Comet assay) and personal exposure to volatile organic compounds, PM(2.5), and ozone were investigated in 55 outdoor and indoor workers from México City and Puebla. RESULTS In México City, outdoor workers had greater DNA damage, reflected by a longer tail length, than indoor workers (median 46.8 v 30.1 mum), and a greater percentage of highly damaged cells (cells with tail length > or =41 microm); in Puebla, outdoor and indoor workers had similar DNA damage. There were more alkali labile sites in outdoor than indoor workers. The DNA damage magnitude was positively correlated with PM(2.5) and ozone exposure. Outdoor and indoor workers with > or =60% of highly damaged cells (highly damaged workers) had significantly higher exposures to PM(2.5), ozone, and some volatile organic compounds. The main factors associated with the highly damaged workers were ozone, PM(2.5), and 1-ethyl-2-methyl benzene exposure. CONCLUSIONS With this approach, the effects of some air pollutants could be correlated with biological endpoints from the Comet assay. It is suggested that the use of personal exposure assessment and biological endpoints evaluation could be an important tool to generate a more precise assessment of the associated potential health risks.

Abstract
We performed an improved search for nu(mu) --> nu(e) oscillation with the KEK to Kamioka (K2K) long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, using the full data sample of 9.2 x 10(19) protons on target. No evidence for a nu(e) appearance signal was found, and we set bounds on the nu(mu) --> nu(e) oscillation parameters. At Deltam(2)=2.8 x 10(-3) eV(2), the best-fit value of the K2Knu(mu) disappearance analysis, we set an upper limit of sin(2)2theta(mue) < 0.13 at a 90% confidence level.

We report the result from a search for charged-current coherent pion production induced by muon neutrinos with a mean energy of 1.3 GeV. The data are collected with a fully active scintillator detector in the K2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. No evidence for coherent pion production is observed, and an upper limit of is set on the cross section ratio of coherent pion production to the total charged-current interaction at 90% confidence level. This is the first experimental limit for coherent charged pion production in the energy region of a few GeV.

Abstract
AIMS Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is an important and serious complication in transplant patients. Recent studies have suggested that quantitative assessment of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in transplant patients might help to identify those at risk of developing PTLD. Therefore, tonsils from paediatric liver transplant recipients were studied for evidence of EBV infection. METHODS Tonsils were studied by in situ hybridisation for the detection of the small EBV encoded nuclear RNAs (EBERs). The phenotype of EBV infected cells was determined by double labelling in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry. The expression of viral latent and lytic antigens was determined by immunohistochemistry. Tonsils from patients without known immune defects were studied as controls. RESULTS Tonsils from transplant patients showed pronounced follicular hyperplasia and minor paracortical hyperplasia. In situ hybridisation revealed variable numbers of EBV infected B cells in the tonsils from transplant patients (range, 2-1000/0.5 cm(2); mean, 434/0.5 cm(2); median, 105/0.5 cm(2)). Lower numbers were detected in the control tonsils (range, 1-200/0.5 cm(2); mean, 47/0.5 cm(2); median, 9/0.5 cm(2)). The latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of EBV was not detected and there were only rare cells in two cases showing expression of the EBV encoded nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2). There was no evidence of lytic infection. None of the patients developed PTLD within a follow up period of up to five years. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that tonsillar enlargement in paediatric liver transplant patients does not necessarily imply a diagnosis of PTLD. Furthermore, the presence of increased numbers of EBV infected cells in tonsils from liver transplant recipients by itself does not indicate an increased risk of developing PTLD.

Abstract
Floating alginate beads have been prepared from alginate solutions containing either dissolved or suspended amoxycillin. The beads were produced by the dropwise addition of the alginate into calcium chloride solution, followed by removal of the gel beads and freeze drying. Drug release studies showed that beads prepared with the drug in solution provided some sustained release characteristics and that these could be improved by the addition of amylose. In all cases, the drug release was consistent with release of a dissolved solute from a granular or porous matrix. The beads retained their buoyancy when amylose and amoxycillin were incorporated, exhibiting resultant weight values greater than zero after 20 h. Preparation of the beads from alginate solutions containing the drug in suspension allowed higher drug loadings, at the expense of faster release and lower buoyancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttransplant lymphoproliferation is most often observed in pediatric transplant recipients who experience primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection at the time of or after transplantation. Lymphoproliferation is believed to be caused by impaired control of EBV-infected cells, which may be of recipient or donor origin. Most studies of EBV infection and lymphoproliferation have focused on the pediatric age group. METHODS We have undertaken a prospective study of EBV infection in adult liver transplant recipients. Sequentially collected peripheral blood lymphocytes were examined with a recently developed quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. The assay quantitates EBV DNA genomic titre over a 5 log10 range. RESULTS Compared with healthy EBV seropositive people not undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, blood EBV DNA titre is elevated in patients with liver disease before transplantation. Overall, highest titres were observed during the first posttransplant month, and in the context of antilymphocyte therapy. In one patient, lymphoproliferation was associated with high titres which fell during reduction of immunosuppressive therapy. In another patient with lymphoproliferation of donor lymphocyte origin, blood EBV DNA titre was not as high. CONCLUSIONS EBV proliferation is seen in the context of advanced liver disease and after liver transplantation. EBV DNA quantitation is a useful tool to examine the effects of immunosuppression on EBV-associated lymphoproliferation, and may be an essential technique for programs exploring the merits of EBV adoptive immunotherapy.

Abstract
Asthma, a major cause of school absenteeism, can be triggered by allergens and irritants in the child's environment. A new measurement tool, the Environmental Observation Checklist (EOC), was developed and piloted for qualitative assessment of indoor asthma triggers (allergens and irritants), adequacy of ventilation, and existing environmental control practices. Seventy-five classrooms in 20 schools from two large urban school districts in Texas were surveyed using the EOC. A Q-TRAK Air Quality Monitor was used to assess indoor carbon dioxide, temperature, and relative humidity, concurrently. The EOC appears to be a useful screening tool for identifying schools in need of intervention.
