Abstract
Aim Explore the impact of COVID-19 on numbers and clinical profile of Eating Disorder (ED) presentations to a specialist ED program pre- and during COVID-19. Methods Retrospective chart review of referrals pre- COVID-19 (January 2018 - February 2020) and during COVID-19 (March 2020 - August 2021) were compared. Results 128 youth were assessed with significantly higher rates of referrals each month during COVID-19 compared to pre- COVID-19 (3.78 vs. 2.31, p = 0.02). Youth referred during COVID-19 showed a higher rate of % Ideal Body Weight (IBW) loss (4.8% = vs. 2.6%, p = < 0.001) and had a shorter duration of illness pre-referral (4.8 months vs. 7.4 months, p = 0.001). Fewer youth during COVID- 19 (19% vs. 43%, p = 0.011) were prescribed psychotropic medication. Many youth (80%), self-declared COVID-19 as a contributory factor in the development of their ED. Conclusion This study supports the growing consensus of a COVID-19 specific impact on ED services with higher rates of referrals, youth presenting with a faster pace of weight loss and earlier referral to specialist services. Whether this represents a true increase in EDs or an overall increase in CAMHS referrals with a faster transfer to ED services requires further exploration.

Abstract
Autofocus is an important issue in electron microscopy, particularly at high magnification. It consists in searching for sharp image of a specimen, that is corresponding to the peak of focus. The paper presents a machine learning solution to this issue. From seven focus measures, support vector machines fitting is used to compute the peak with an initial guess obtained from a gradient ascent search, that is search in the direction of higher gradient of focus. The solution is implemented on a Carl Zeiss Auriga FE-SEM with a three benchmark specimen and magnification ranging from x300 to x160 000. Based on regularized nonlinear least squares optimization, the solution overtakes the literature nonregularized search and Fibonacci search methods: accuracy improvement ranges from 1.25 to 8 times, fidelity improvement ranges from 1.6 to 28 times, and speed improvement ranges from 1.5 to 4 times. Moreover, the solution is practical by requiring only an off-line easy automatic train with cross-validation of the support vector machines.

Abstract
The extended lateral L-shaped approach for the treatment of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneum may be complicated by wound infection, haematoma, dehiscence and injury to the sural nerve. In an effort to reduce the risk of problems with wound healing a technique was developed that combined open reduction and fixation of the joint fragments and of the anterior process with percutaneous reduction and screw fixation of the tuberosity. A group of 24 patients with unilateral isolated closed Sanders type II and III fractures was treated using this technique and compared to a similar group of 26 patients managed by the extended approach and lateral plating. The operation was significantly shorter (p < 0.001) in the first group, but more minor secondary procedures and removal of heel screws were necessary. There were no wound complications in this group, whereas four minor complications occurred in the second group. The accuracy and maintenance of reduction, and ultimate function were equivalent.

Abstract
The cholinergic basal forebrain has been implicated in aspects of cognitive function including memory and attention, but the precise contribution of its major components, the basalocortical and the septohippocampal systems, remains unclear. Rats were subjected to lesions of either the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (Basalis), the medial septum/vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca (Septum), or both nuclei (Basalis + Septum), using the selective cholinotoxin 192 IgG-saporin. Cognitive performance was evaluated in tasks taxing attention (the five-choice serial reaction time task, 5-CSRTT) and spatial working memory (radial arm maze, RAM). Nucleus basalis lesions disrupted performance of the 5-CSRTT, as demonstrated by decreased choice accuracy, increased incidence of missed trials, increased latencies to respond correctly, and a disrupted pattern of response control. Combined lesions of the Basalis and Septum resulted in qualitatively similar deficits to Basalis lesions alone, although interestingly, these rats were unimpaired on measures of response speed, and showed weaker deficits on accuracy and omissions. Decreasing the attentional load by lengthening stimulus duration reversed some of the deficits in Basalis and Basalis + Septum rats, suggesting an attentional deficit rather than motivation or motor perturbations. Performance in rats with septal lesions was only affected when task difficulty was increased. In the RAM an opposing pattern of effects was observed, with Septum and Basalis + Septum rats showing dramatic impairments, and Basalis rats performing normally. Taken together, these data provide clear evidence for a functional dissociation between septohippocampal and basalocortical cholinergic systems in aspects of cognitive function.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Male Long-Evans rats sustained injections of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) into the fimbria-fornix and the cingular bundle or/and intraseptal injections of 192 IgG-saporin to induce serotonergic or/and cholinergic hippocampal denervations; Sham-operated rats served as controls. Four to ten weeks after lesioning, we measured (i). the electrically evoked release of acetylcholine ([3H]ACh), noradrenaline ([3H]NA) and serotonin ([3H]5-HT) in hippocampal slices in the presence of drugs acting on auto- or heteroreceptors, (ii). the nicotine-evoked release of NA and (iii). the choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity and the concentration of monoamines in homogenates. Saporin lesions reduced the accumulation of [3H]choline, the release of [3H]ACh and the ChAT activity, but increased the concentration of NA and facilitated the release of [3H]NA evoked by nicotine. 5,7-DHT lesions reduced the accumulation and the release of [3H]5-HT, the concentration of 5-HT, and also facilitated the release of [3H]NA evoked by nicotine. Accumulation and electrically evoked release of [3H]NA were not altered by either lesion. The combination of both toxins resulted in an addition of their particular effects. The 5-HT(1B) receptor agonist, CP 93129, and the muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine, reduced the release of [3H]ACh in control and 5,7-DHT-lesioned rats; in rats injected with saporin, their effects could not be measured reliably. CP 93129 and the alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist, UK 14304, reduced the release of [3H]5-HT in all groups by about 65%. IN CONCLUSION (i). selective neurotoxins can be combined to enable controlled and selective damage of hippocampal transmitter systems; (ii). 5-HT exerts an inhibitory influence on the nicotine-evoked release of NA, but partial serotonergic lesions do not influence the release of ACh at a presynaptic level and (iii). presynaptic modulatory mechanisms involving auto- and heteroreceptors may be conserved on fibres spared by the lesions.

Abstract
Knowledge of normal anatomy and kinematics of the glenohumeral joint as well as analysis of the pathoanatomic changes that occur during the course of the disease is the condition for successful patient management. This review article critically discusses the most relevant geometrical variables. Systematically, normal anatomy, pathologic anatomy, and the implications for prosthetic design and implantation are presented. The most important aspects concerning the size and shape of the glenoid, the inclination of the articular surface in the horizontal and frontal planes, as well as the geometry of the scapular neck are discussed. The accumulated knowledge is of immediate practical use and might stimulate researchers and manufacturers to develop more adequate glenoid components.

Abstract
The stimulation of 5-HT1A receptors in the raphe or their blockade in the hippocampus can reduce cognitive deficits induced by blockade of muscarinic receptors in the hippocampus. We investigated the effects of MDL 73005 (8-[2-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-ylmethylamino) ethyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5] decane-7,9-dione methyl sulphonate), an agonist at 5-HT1A somatodendritic autoreceptors and an antagonist at postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors in rats treated systemically with scopolamine. Spatial memory was assessed in a water maze using protocols testing reference and working memory. Home cage locomotor activity was also determined. Working memory and locomotor activity were evaluated before and after para-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA) treatment. Scopolamine produced a weak impairment of reference memory at 0.5 mg/kg, and a more pronounced impairment of working memory at 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg. MDL 73005 alone (2 mg/kg, i.p.) had no effect, but prevented the memory impairments induced by 0.25 mg/kg of scopolamine. Scopolamine induced hyperlocomotion. MDL 73005 alone did not affect locomotor activity, but exacerbated the hyperlocomotion induced by 0.5 mg/kg of scopolamine. pCPA did not abolish the effects of MDL 73005, suggesting that these effects were not due to an action at presynaptic receptors, or even that they involved receptors other than serotonergic ones (e.g., D2). In conclusion, MDL 73005 is able to antagonise moderate spatial memory dysfunctions induced by systemic muscarinic blockade.

Abstract
We examined the effect of central cholinergic depletion on the sedative potency of propofol in rats. Depletion was produced by intracerebroventricular administration of an immunotoxin specific to cholinergic neurones (192 IgG-Saporin; 2 microg). As a result of this lesion, acetylcholine concentration was reduced by about 40% in the frontoparietal cortex and in the hippocampus but was essentially normal in the striatum and cerebellum. Sedation in rats was assessed as the decrease in locomotor activity. Sedative potency of propofol (30 mg kg(-1) i.p.) was reduced by about 50% in rats who received the injection of 192 IgG-Saporin as compared to controls. These results show that a central cholinergic depletion alleviates the sedative effect of propofol, and indicates that basal forebrain cholinergic neurones might mediate part of the sedative/hypnotic effects of propofol.

Abstract
In a retrospective study, 75 patients with tendon suspension-interposition arthroplasty were compared with 27 patients with prosthetic replacement of the trapezium for CMC I osteoarthritis. A significant decrease in pain and an increase in subjective strength was observed in both groups. The extent of change was not significantly different between the two groups. Although there was radiographically less proximalisation of the thumb in the patient group with silastic interposition, objective strength and range of motion was not significantly different between the two groups. Since the results of trapeziectomy for the treatment of degenerative osteoarthritis of the base of thumb with or without silicone interposition are comparable, the use of silastic implants, with their inherent complications, no longer seems to be justified. There might be a place for the condylar type of implants in low-demand rheumatoid patients, in whom as much bone stock as possible should be preserved.

Abstract
The locomotor effects of acute amphetamine treatment (1 mg/kg, i.p.) were assessed in Long-Evans rats after 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5, 7-DHT) injections into the fimbria-fornix/cingular bundle (FiFx/CB; 4 microg/side), or the dorsal and median raphe (Raphe; 10 microg). In control rats, amphetamine induced a significant increase of home-cage activity for about 2 h. This effect was similar in Raphe rats, but was absent in FiFx/CB rats. The raphe lesions reduced serotonin concentrations by 50% in the dorsal hippocampus, 75% in the ventral hippocampus and 58% in the fronto-parietal cortex. After FiFx/CB lesions, the reduction amounted 50, 61 and only 25%, in each of these regions, respectively. In the fronto-partietal cortex, dopamine concentration was significantly decreased in Raphe (-27%) and FiFx/CB rats (-65%). The results suggest that a serotonergic denervation of the hippocampus by injections of 5,7-DHT into the FiFx/CB pathways hampers the stimulating effects of amphetamine on locomotor activity. This effect might be related to the reduced dopaminergic tone in the fronto-parietal cortex.

Abstract
Young adult Long-Evans female rats were subjected to intracerebroventricular injections of 150 microg 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT), 2 microg 192 IgG-saporin, or a combination of both neurotoxins. All rats were tested for olfactory recognition (short-term memory) using a task based on spontaneous exploration of odor sources. Compared with animals undergoing sham operations, 5,7-DHT reduced the concentration of serotonin by 60-80% in the frontoparietal cortex, hippocampus, striatum and the olfactory bulbs. After 192 IgG-saporin treatment, acetylcholine concentrations were reduced by approximately 40% in all these structures, except the striatum. Neither lesion induced a significant deficit in olfactory recognition. These data suggest that combined lesions of cholinergic and serotonergic neurons in the rat brain do not alter olfactory perception or olfactory short-term memory.

Abstract
In the rat, 5-HT1A receptors are found on medial septal cholinergic neurons. The effects of intraseptal infusions of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propyl-amino)-tertralin) were assessed on reference memory performances in a water maze. Compared with vehicle infusions, 0.5 and 4 microg of 8-OH-DPAT significantly impaired (but did not prevent) acquisition of the task and probe-trial performances. The results suggest that activation of 5-TH1A receptors in the (medial) septal area impairs spatial learning, perhaps directly by reducing the hippocampal cholinergic tonus, or indirectly by an effect on anxiety.

Abstract
This study assessed behavioural and neurochemical effects of i.c.v. injections of both the cholinergic toxin 192 IgG-saporin (2 microgram) and the serotonergic toxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT; 150 microgram) in Long-Evans female rats. Dependent behavioural variables were locomotor activity, forced T-maze alternation, beam walking, Morris water-maze (working and reference memory) and radial-maze performances. After killing by microwave irradiation, the concentrations of acetylcholine, monoamines and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were measured in the hippocampus, frontoparietal cortex and striatum. 192 IgG-saporin reduced the concentration of acetylcholine by approximately 40% in the frontoparietal cortex and hippocampus, but had no effect in the striatum. 5,7-DHT lesions reduced the concentration of serotonin by 60% in the frontoparietal cortex and 80% in the hippocampus and striatum. Noradrenaline was unchanged in all structures except the ventral hippocampus where it was slightly increased in rats given 192 IgG-saporin. Cholinergic lesions induced severe motor deficits but had no other effect. Serotonergic lesions produced diurnal and nocturnal hyperactivity but had no other effect. Rats with combined lesions were more active than those with only serotonergic lesions, showed motor dysfunctions similar to those found in rats with cholinergic lesions alone, and exhibited impaired performances in the T-maze alternation test, the water-maze working memory test and the radial-maze. Taken together and although cholinergic lesions were not maximal, these data show that 192 IgG-saporin and 5,7-DHT lesions can be combined to selectively damage cholinergic and serotonergic neurons, and confirm that cholinergic-serotonergic interactions play an important role in some aspects of memory, particularly in spatial working memory.

Abstract
Trapeziectomy for the treatment of trapeziometacarpal arthritis is an in vivo model of an isolated lesion of the scaphotrapeziotrapeziod ligament complex. We analysed the radiological changes in the wrist retrospectively in 86 patients after trapeziectomy. On standardized PA and lateral films the revised carpal height ratio, the radiolunate angle, the scapholunate angle and ulnar translation were compared pre- and postoperatively. None of these parameters showed a statistically significant change after operation. Grouping the patients into shorter (< 36 months) and longer (> 36 months) follow-ups also failed to show any significant differences.

Abstract
Three-dimensional periodic microstructures of aluminum oxide, which are important for creating photonic band-gap structures (PBGs), were fabricated by laser rapid prototyping by means of laser-induced direct-write deposition from the gas phase. The structures consisted of layers of parallel rods forming a face-centered tetragonal lattice with lattice constants of 66 and 133 micrometers. These structures showed transmission minima centered around 4 terahertz (75 micrometers) and 2 terahertz (150 micrometers), respectively. PBGs will allow precise control of the optical properties of materials, including lasers without threshold.
