Abstract
We discovered a highly virulent variant of subtype-B HIV-1 in the Netherlands. One hundred nine individuals with this variant had a 0.54 to 0.74 log10 increase (i.e., a ~3.5-fold to 5.5-fold increase) in viral load compared with, and exhibited CD4 cell decline twice as fast as, 6604 individuals with other subtype-B strains. Without treatment, advanced HIV-CD4 cell counts below 350 cells per cubic millimeter, with long-term clinical consequences-is expected to be reached, on average, 9 months after diagnosis for individuals in their thirties with this variant. Age, sex, suspected mode of transmission, and place of birth for the aforementioned 109 individuals were typical for HIV-positive people in the Netherlands, which suggests that the increased virulence is attributable to the viral strain. Genetic sequence analysis suggests that this variant arose in the 1990s from de novo mutation, not recombination, with increased transmissibility and an unfamiliar molecular mechanism of virulence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES At the end of 2020, many countries commenced a vaccination programme against SARS-CoV-2. Public health authorities aim to prevent and interrupt outbreaks of infectious disease in social care settings. We aimed to investigate the association between the introduction of the vaccination programme and the frequency and duration of COVID-19 outbreaks in Northern Ireland (NI). STUDY DESIGN We undertook an ecological study using routinely available national data. METHODS We used Poisson regression to measure the relationship between the number of RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 outbreaks in care homes, and as a measure of community COVID-19 prevalence, the Office for National Statistics COVID-19 Infection Survey estimated the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 in NI. We estimated the change in this relationship and estimated the expected number of care home outbreaks in the absence of the vaccination programme. A Cox proportional hazards model estimated the hazard ratio of a confirmed COVID-19 care home outbreak closure. RESULTS Care home outbreaks reduced by two-thirds compared to expected following the introduction of the vaccination programme, from a projected 1625 COVID-19 outbreaks (95% prediction interval 1553-1694) between 7 December 2020 and 28 October 2021 to an observed 501. We estimated an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.53 of the outbreak closure assuming a 21-day lag for immunity. CONCLUSIONS These findings describe the association of the vaccination with a reduction in outbreak frequency and duration across NI care homes. This indicates probable reduced harm and disruption from COVID-19 in social care settings following vaccination. Future research using individual level data from care home residents will be needed to investigate the effectiveness of the vaccines and the duration of their effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To coproduce a school-based protocol and examine acceptability and feasibility of collecting saliva samples for genetic studies from secondary/high school students for the purpose of mental health research. DESIGN Protocol coproduction and mixed-methods feasibility pilot. SETTING Secondary schools in Wales, UK. PARTICIPANTS Students aged 11-13 years. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Coproduced research protocol including an interactive science workshop delivered in schools; school, parental and student recruitment rates; adherence to protocol and adverse events; ability to extract and genotype saliva samples; student enjoyment of the science workshop and qualitative analysis of teacher focus groups on acceptability and feasibility. RESULTS Five secondary schools participated in the coproduction phase, and three of these took part in the research study (eligible sample n=868 students). Four further schools were subsequently approached, but none participated. Parental opt-in consent was received from 98 parents (11.3% eligible sample), three parents (0.3%) actively refused and responses were not received for 767 (88.4%) parents. We obtained saliva samples plus consent for data linkage for 79 students. Only one sample was of insufficient quality to be genotyped. The science workshop received positive feedback from students. Feedback from teachers showed that undertaking research like this in schools is viewed as acceptable in principle, potentially feasible, but that there are important procedural barriers to be overcome. Key recommendations include establishing close working relationships between the research team and school classroom staff, together with improved methods for communicating with and engaging parents. CONCLUSIONS There are major challenges to undertaking large-scale genetic mental health research in secondary schools. Such research may be acceptable in principle, and in practice DNA collected from saliva in classrooms is of sufficient quality. However, key challenges that must be overcome include ensuring representative recruitment of schools and sufficient parental engagement where opt-in parental consent is required.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Neuro-medical complications post-stroke are common and often serious [1]. We first described complications in our stroke cohort in 1998 and sought to assess whether the severity and the nature of neuro-medical complications may have changed over time due to changes in presentation and the processes of care [2].
Methods
Analysis of stroke service database, which captures all neuro-medical complications as part of its portal for the Irish National Audit of Stroke (INAS), was completed. The frequency of each of the 19 complications was expressed as the percentage of patients that developed each complication over a certain year and over 5 years. Historical comparison was made with dataset from 1998, which captured six complications.
Results
Data on 1,283 patients presenting over 5 years between 2015–2019 was collected. The median age of all patients was 71 years (Range 21–101). In all, 19 different post-stroke complications were recorded; 48% (n = 622) had post-stroke pain, while 23.85% (n = 306) had cognitive decline. Data on 100 patients from 1998 was compared for a number of common metrics including; 21.82% (n = 275) of patients developed an LRTI in the 2015–2019 cohort compared with 14%(n = 14) in the 1998 cohort (p = 0.09) while 16.29% (n = 209) of patients developed a swallow disorder compared to 21% (n = 21) in 1998 (p = 0.22).
Conclusion
There are high levels of neuro-medical complications in stroke patients. Twenty years has seen extensive investment in hyperacute stroke care yet post-acute care complications did not appear to reduce significantly between this time, albeit with low numbers. Direction of future funding may consider the full spectrum of stroke care.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Mortality for Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is 31% (Irish National Audit Stroke, 2019). An ICH care bundle focusing on acute anticoagulation reversal, blood pressure lowering, and a neurosurgical care pathway was associated with improved survival. Translating evidence-based medicine into clinical practice is challenging. The aim of this study was to determine feasibility and outcomes of implementation of a care bundle.
Methods
An ICH care bundle was developed using an iterative process involving expert stakeholder review of the evidence-based literature. A pre-and-post quasi-experimental research design was employed to evaluate this intervention. Baseline data were collected before implementation (January 2016-June 2018). Implementation took place in a staged manner in a single university teaching hospital with multiple ‘Plan Do Study Act cycles’ (June 2018 to January 2021). Data on compliance, process measures and outcomes were collected.

Systolic blood pressure (first 24-hours) and anticoagulant reversal were significantly better controlled post-implementation (χ2 (1, N = 91) = 5.34, P = 0.02), (χ2 (1, N = 25) = 5.85, P = 0.016), respectively. DNAR orders were significantly lower in the post-implementation group (χ2 (1, N = 25) = 5.85, P = 0.029). However, ‘Do Not Actively Resuscitate’ status did not significantly differ when accounting for low GCS as a surrogate measure for poor prognosis (χ2 (1, N = 34) = 0.00, P = 0.966). Modified Rankin Scale on discharge did not differ significantly pre-and-post-implementation (z = −0.075, P = 0.94). A greater proportion of patients survived in the post-implementation group; however, this was not statistically significant (χ2 (1, N = 133) = 0.77, P = 0.38). Length of stay significantly increased post implementation.
Conclusion
An ICH care bundle was developed based on expert stakeholder feedback. The feasibility of implementing this bundle of care was demonstrated in a real-world clinical practice setting. A cluster-randomized trial or a large registry study is the next step to evaluate the overall impact of this care bundle on patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background
Health and Safety Executive data show that teachers are at heightened risk of mental health difficulties, yet few studies have attempted to address this. Poor teacher mental health may impact on the quality of support provided to young people, who also report increased mental health difficulties themselves.
Objective
To test the effectiveness of an intervention aiming to improve secondary school teachers’ well-being through mental health support and training.
Design
A cluster randomised controlled trial with embedded process and economic evaluations.
Setting
Twenty-five mainstream, non-fee-paying secondary schools in the south-west of England and South Wales, stratified by geographical area and free school meal entitlement, randomly allocated to intervention or control groups following collection of baseline measures (n = 12, intervention; n = 13, control) between May and July 2016.
Participants
All teachers in the study schools at any data collection. All students in year 8 (baseline) and year 10 (final follow-up).
Intervention
Each intervention school received three elements: (1) a 1-day mental health first aid for schools and colleges training session delivered to 8% of all teachers; (2) a 1-hour mental health session delivered to all teachers; and (3) 8% of staff trained in the 2-day standard mental health first aid training course set up a confidential peer support service for colleagues. Control schools continued with usual practice.
Main outcome measures
The primary outcome was teacher well-being (using the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale). Secondary outcomes were teacher depression, absence and presenteeism, and student well-being, mental health difficulties, attendance and attainment. Follow-up was at 12 and 24 months. Data were analysed using intention-to-treat mixed-effects repeated-measures models.
Economic evaluation
A cost–consequence analysis to compare the incremental cost of the intervention against the outcomes measured in the main analysis.
Process evaluation
A mixed-methods study (i.e. qualitative focus groups and interviews, quantitative surveys, checklists and logs) to examine intervention implementation, activation of the mechanisms of change outlined in the logic model, intervention acceptability and the wider context.
Results
All 25 schools remained in the study. A total of 1722 teachers were included in the primary analysis. We found no difference in mean teacher well-being between study arms over the course of follow-up (adjusted mean difference –0.90, 95% confidence interval –2.07 to 0.27). There was also no difference in any of the secondary outcomes (p-values 0.203–0.964 in the fully adjusted models). The average cost of the intervention was £9103 (range £5378.97–12,026.73) per intervention school, with the average cost to Welsh schools being higher because of a different delivery model. The training components were delivered with high fidelity, although target dosage was sometimes missed. The peer support service was delivered with variable fidelity, and reported usage by teachers was low (5.9–6.1%). The intervention had high acceptability, but participants reported low support from senior leadership, and minimal impact on school culture.
Limitations
Participants and the study team were unblinded, self-report for the main outcome measures and inaccurate measurement of peer support service usage.
Conclusions
The Wellbeing in Secondary Education (WISE) intervention was not effective at improving teacher or student well-being, or reducing mental health difficulties, possibly because of contextual barriers preventing it becoming embedded in school life.
Future work
Identification of ways in which to achieve system-level change and sustained support from senior leaders is important for future school-based mental health interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Research demonstrates a strong socioeconomic gradient in health and well-being. However, many studies rely on unidimensional measures of socioeconomic status (SES) (e.g. educational qualifications, household income), and there is often a more limited consideration of how facets of SES combine to impact well-being. This paper develops a multidimensional measure of SES, drawing on family and school-level factors, to provide more nuanced understandings of socioeconomic patterns in adolescent substance use and mental well-being. METHODS Data from the Student Health and Wellbeing Survey from Wales, UK was employed. The sample compromised 22,372 students and we used latent class analysis to identify distinct groups using three measures of SES. These classes were then used to estimate mental well-being, internalizing symptoms, and substance use. RESULTS The five-class solution offered the best fit. Findings indicated distinct classes of families as follows: "nonworking," "deprived working families," "affluent families in deprived schools," "lower affluence," and "higher affluence." There was a clear relationship among the classes and mental well-being, internalizing symptoms, smoking, and cannabis use; alcohol was the exception to this. CONCLUSIONS The identification of these classes led to a fuller understanding of the health and well-being effects of SES, showing clearer patterning in health behaviors that often is not captured in research. The implications for adolescent health and well-being are discussed, including considerations for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Teachers are at heightened risk of poor mental health and well-being, which is likely to impact on the support they provide to students, and student outcomes. We conducted a cluster randomised controlled trial, to test whether an intervention to improve mental health support and training for high school teachers led to improved mental health and well-being for teachers and students, compared to usual practice. We also conducted a cost evaluation of the intervention. METHODS AND FINDINGS The intervention comprised (i) Mental Health First Aid training for teachers to support students; (ii) a mental health awareness session; and (iii) a confidential staff peer support service. In total 25 mainstream, non-fee-paying secondary schools stratified by geographical area and free school meal entitlement were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 12) or control group (n = 13) after collection of baseline measures. We analysed data using mixed-effects repeated measures models in the intention-to-treat population, adjusted for stratification variables, sex, and years of experience. The primary outcome was teacher well-being (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale). Secondary outcomes were teacher depression, absence, and presenteeism, and student well-being, mental health difficulties, attendance, and attainment. Follow-up was at months 12 (T1) and 24 (T2). We collected process data to test the logic model underpinning the intervention, to aid interpretation of the findings. A total of 1,722 teachers were included in the primary analysis. Teacher well-being did not differ between groups at T2 (intervention mean well-being score 47.5, control group mean well-being score 48.4, adjusted mean difference -0.90, 95% CI -2.07 to 0.27, p = 0.130). The only effect on secondary outcomes was higher teacher-reported absence among the intervention group at T2 (intervention group median number of days absent 0, control group median number of days absent 0, ratio of geometric means 1.04, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.09, p = 0.042). Process measures indicated little change in perceived mental health support, quality of relationships, and work-related stress. The average cost of the intervention was £9,103 per school. The study's main limitations were a lack of blinding of research participants and the self-report nature of the outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we observed no improvements to teacher or student mental health following the intervention, possibly due to a lack of impact on key drivers of poor mental health within the school environment. Future research should focus on structural and cultural changes to the school environment, which may be more effective at improving teacher and student mental health and well-being.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the FOURIER (Further Cardiovascular Outcomes Research With PCSK9 Inhibition in Patients With Elevated Risk) trial, adding the PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab to statin therapy reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular risk. Although atherosclerotic coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular events share a related pathobiology, the effect of aggressive LDL-C lowering with PCSK9 inhibition on the risk of acute arterial events across all three vascular beds is not well-described.
Purpose
To assess the efficacy of evolocumab on acute arterial events in all vascular territories including coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vascular beds.
Methods
In the FOURIER trial, patients (n=27,564) with stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL on a statin were randomly assigned to evolocumab versus placebo and followed for a median of 2.2 years (1.8–2.5). Acute arterial events were defined as a composite of coronary (coronary heart disease [CHD] death, myocardial infarction [MI], or urgent coronary revascularization), cerebrovascular (ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack [TIA], or urgent cerebral revascularization), or peripheral vascular (acute limb ischemia, major amputation, or urgent peripheral revascularization) events. Cox proportional-hazard models were used to assess the efficacy of evolocumab on these outcomes. Landmark and total event analyses were also done.
Results
Of the 2,210 first acute arterial events occurring during follow-up, 74% were coronary, 22% were cerebrovascular, and 4% were peripheral vascular. Evolocumab reduced the risk of a first acute arterial event by 19% (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.74–0.88; P<0.001), with significant individual reductions in acute coronary (HR 0.83; 95% CI 0.75–0.91; P<0.001), acute cerebrovascular (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.65–0.92; P=0.004), and acute peripheral vascular (HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.38–0.88; P=0.01) events (Figure, top). The magnitude of the risk reduction with evolocumab tended to increase over time, with a 16% reduction (HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.75–0.96) in the first year followed by a 24% reduction (HR 0.76; 95% CI 0.67–0.85) thereafter (Figure, bottom). There were 3,780 total acute arterial events (first plus recurrent), with a 22% reduction with evolocumab (incidence rate ratio [RR] 0.78; 95% CI 0.70–0.87). Evolocumab prevented 496 total acute arterial events as compared to 222 first events.
Conclusions
The addition of the PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab to statin therapy reduced the risk of acute arterial events across all vascular territories with a robust effect over time. These findings indicate a pan-vascular impact of aggressive lipid-lowering therapy on these acute and clinically meaningful events.

Abstract
Aims In this novel study in the Irish setting, we quantified the number items managed per General Practitioner (GP) consult, how each item is managed, and impact on a GP's job satisfaction. Methods Participating GPs at two surgeries completed a questionnaire - integrated into the practice management software - after each consultation that satisfied the inclusion criteria during a four-week period. Results Due to feasibility constraints, 500 of 857 (58.3%) completed questionnaires were randomly selected for our sample. GPs manage an average of 1.76 items per consultation. Older patients presented with more items. Greater number of presenting items led to less being managed on the day 71% (n=5) for 5 items vs. 95.2% (n= 246) for 1 item, longer consultation duration (mean = 14.63 minutes (4-45) and decreased GP satisfaction, mean 8/10 (2-10). Conclusion Increasing the number of items in a GP consultation has a statistically significant effect on duration of consultation, how each item is managed, and even GP satisfaction.

The what, why and when of adapting interventions for new contexts: A qualitative study of researchers, funders, journal editors and practitioners' understandings. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0254020.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The adaptation of interventions for new contexts is a rapidly developing research area. To date there is no consensus-based guidance to support decision-making and recommend adaptation processes. The ADAPT study is developing such guidance. This aim of the qualitative component of the study was to explore stakeholders' understandings of adaptation, as to date there has limited consideration of how different concepts and meanings shape decision-making and practice. METHODS A case study research design was used. Participants/cases were purposefully sampled based on study outcome, study design, expertise, context and country. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of researchers (n = 23); representatives from research funding panels (n = 6); journal editors (n = 5) and practitioners (n = 3). Data were analysed using the Framework approach. Overarching themes were discussed with the ADAPT study team, with further iterative refinement of subthemes. RESULTS The results generated four central themes. Four themes related to stakeholders' understanding: 1) definitions of adaptation and related concepts; 2) rationales for undertaking adaptation; 3) the appropriate timing for adaptation; and 4) ensuring fidelity when implementing adapted interventions. CONCLUSION The findings highlight the lack of clarity around key concepts and uncertainty about central decision-making processes, notably why interventions should be adapted, when and to what extent. This has informed the ADAPT study's guidance, shaping the scope and nature of recommendations to be included and surfacing key uncertainties that require future consideration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Animal data suggest teratogenic effects with zonisamide use and risk of pregnancy losses. Human data following zonisamide exposure are presently limited, but suggest low risk of malformation with elevated risk of low birth weight. OBJECTIVE To calculate the major congenital malformation (MCM) rate of zonisamide in human pregnancy and assess for a signal of any specific malformation pattern and associations with birth weight. METHODS AND MATERIALS Data were obtained from the UK and Ireland Epilepsy and Pregnancy register (UKIEPR) which is an observational, registration, and follow up study from December 1996 to July 2020. Eligibility criteria were use of zonisamide and to have been referred to the UKIEPR before the outcome of the pregnancy was known. Primary outcome was evidence of MCM. RESULTS From December 1996 through July 2020 there were 112 cases of first trimester exposure to zonisamide, including 26 monotherapy cases. There were 3 MCM for monotherapy cases (MCM rate 13.0% (95% confidence interval 4.5-32.1)), and 5 MCM for polytherapy cases (MCM rate 6.9% (95% confidence interval 3.0-15.2)). While the median birth weight was on 71st and 44th centile for monotherapy and polytherapy cases respectively, there was a high rate of infants born small for gestational age (21% for both). CONCLUSION These data raise concerns about a signal for potential teratogenicity with zonisamide in human pregnancy. Given the low numbers reported, further data will be required to adequately counsel women who use zonisamide in pregnancy.

Abstract
Background This study examines the prevalence of dating and relationship violence (DRV) victimization, perpetration and joint victimization and perpetration, and associations between DRV and socio-demographic characteristics. Methods Cross-sectional self-report data from 74 908 students aged 11–16 from 193 schools across Wales were collected and analysed using generalized estimating equations to examine prevalence and predictors of emotional and physical DRV victimization, perpetration and joint victimization and perpetration. Results More girls reported emotional victimization (28%) and perpetration (18%) than boys (20% and 16%, respectively). More girls (8%) than boys (7%) reported physical perpetration. However, boys (17%) reported more physical victimization than girls (12%). Age-related trajectories of DRV victimization and perpetration were stronger in girls than in boys. Students from single or step parent homes, those in care, and certain ethnic minority groups had increased odds of DRV. No association was found between socioeconomic status and DRV. Conclusions Age-related trajectories and the lack of social patterning by socioeconomic status point to the value of early, universal interventions, while some evidence of ethnic patterning and family structure-related risk factors suggest areas for further research and targeted interventions. DRV continues to be a major public health problem for which little UK-specific intervention evidence exists.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent randomised trials showed benefit for anti-inflammatory therapies in coronary disease but excluded stroke. The prognostic value of blood inflammatory markers after stroke is uncertain and guidelines do not recommend their routine measurement for risk stratification.
Methods
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating the association of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and fibrinogen and risk of recurrent stroke or major vascular events (MVEs). We searched EMBASE and Ovid Medline until 10/1/19. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed for studies reporting comparable effect measures.
Results
Of 2,515 reports identified, 39 met eligibility criteria (IL-6, n = 10; CRP, n = 33; fibrinogen, n = 16). An association with recurrent stroke was reported in 12/26 studies (CRP), 2/11 (fibrinogen) and 3/6 (IL-6). On random-effects meta-analysis of comparable studies, CRP was associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke [pooled hazard ratio (HR) per 1 standard-deviation (SD) increase in loge-CRP (1.14, 95% CI 1.06-1.22, p < 0.01)] and MVEs (pooled HR 1.21, CI 1.10-1.34, p < 0.01). Fibrinogen was also associated with recurrent stroke (HR 1.26, CI 1.07-1.47, p < 0.01) and MVEs (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.15-1.49, p < 0.01). Trends were identified for IL-6 for recurrent stroke (HR per 1-SD increase 1.17, CI 0.97-1.41, p = 0.10) and MVEs (HR 1.22, CI 0.96-1.55, p = 0.10).
Conclusion
Despite evidence suggesting an association between inflammatory markers and post-stroke vascular recurrence, substantial methodological heterogeneity was apparent between studies. Individual-patient pooled analysis and standardisation of methods are needed to determine the prognostic role of blood inflammatory markers and to improve patient selection for randomised trials of inflammatory therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Studying mental wellbeing requires the use of reliable, valid, and practical assessment tools, such as the Short version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS). Research on the mental wellbeing of children in care is sparse. The current study aims to: (1) examine the unidimensionality of SWEMWBS; (2) assess measurement invariance of SWEMWBS across children and young people in care compared to their peers not in care; and (3) investigate the latent factor mean differences between care status groups. METHODS We used data from the 2017 School Health Research Network Student Health and Wellbeing (SHW) survey, completed by 103,971 students in years 7 to 11 from 193 secondary schools in Wales. The final data include a total of 2,795 participants (46% boys), which includes all children in care and a sub-sample of children not in care who completed the SWEMWBS scale fully and answered questions about their living situation. RESULTS Confirmatory factor analysis supported the unidimensionality of SWEMWBS. The SWEMWBS is invariant across groups of young people in foster, residential and kinship care compared to children and young people not in care at configural, metric and scalar levels. Findings from latent mean comparisons showed that young people in care reported lower mental wellbeing than their peers, with those in residential care reporting the lowest scores. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that SWEMWBS is a valid scale for measuring differences in mental wellbeing for young people in care similar to the population.

Abstract
Background Inflammation driven by pro-inflammatory cytokines is a new therapeutic target in coronary disease. Few data exist on the association of key upstream cytokines and post-stroke recurrence. In a prospective cohort study, we investigated the association between pivotal cytokines, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and one-year outcomes. Methods BIO-STROKETIA is a multi-center prospective cohort study of non-severe ischemic stroke (modified Rankin score ≤ 3) and transient ischemic attack. Controls were patients with transient symptoms attending transient ischemic attack clinics with non-ischemic final diagnosis. Exclusion criteria were severe stroke, infection, and other pro-inflammatory disease; hsCRP and cytokines (interleukin (IL) 6, IL-1β, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)) were measured. The primary outcome was one-year recurrent stroke/coronary events (fatal and non-fatal). Results In this study, 680 patients (439 stroke, 241 transient ischemic attack) and 68 controls were included. IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and hsCRP were higher in stroke/transient ischemic attack cases (p ≤ 0.01 for all). On multivariable Cox regression, IL-6, IL-8, and hsCRP independently predicted one-year recurrent vascular events (adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) per-quartile increase IL-6 1.31, confidence interval (CI) 1.02–1.68, p = 0.03; IL-8 1.47, CI 1.15–1.89, p = 0.002; hsCRP 1.28, CI 1.01–1.62, p = 0.04). IL-6 (aHR 1.98, CI 1.26–3.14, p = 0.003) and hsCRP (aHR 1.81, CI 1.20–2.74, p = 0.005) independently predicted one-year fatality. IL-6 and hsCRP (adjusted odds ratio per-unit increase 1.02, CI 1.01–1.04) predicted poor functional outcome, with a trend for IL-1β (p = 0.054). Conclusion Baseline inflammatory cytokines independently predicted late recurrence, supporting a rationale for randomized trials of anti-inflammatory agents for prevention after stroke and suggesting that targeted therapy to high-risk patients with high baseline inflammation may be beneficial.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
International guidelines recommend a minimum lymph node yield (LNY) of ≥12 for oncological resection in colorectal cancer (CRC). Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) decreases LNY, which questions its ability to provide accurate prognostic information. The consensus of this significance remains undetermined. This study aimed to investigate the significance of LNY on recurrence and survival following anterior resection and abdominoperineal resection with or without NACRT for rectal cancer.
Method
Prospectively collected data on patients diagnosed with rectal cancer in a tertiary referral centre was interrogated retrospectively. Patients were divided into primary surgery and NACRT groups. Univariable analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test, t-test, and x2 test, while multivariable analysis utilised a multiple regression model. Disease recurrence and survival was analysed with logrank test for Kaplan-Meier curves.
Result
148 patients were included [56.1% (n=83) receiving NACRT]. The median LNY of the primary surgery group was 14 [interquartile range (IQR) 11-19] and for the NACRT group was 12 (IQR 8-14) (p <0.001). Disease recurrence was similar in both primary surgery and NACRT groups. There was a significant decrease in overall mortality in NACRT patients (p = 0.03), but there was no significant difference observed in recurrence or mortality amongst LNYs of <8, 8-11, and ≥12.
Conclusion
LNY less than 12 was not a negative prognostic indicator following NACRT and surgery for rectal cancer.
Take-home message
A lymph node yield of less than 12 is not a negative prognostic indicator in rectal cancer patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, also known as COVID-19, has generated shockwaves in medical and surgical practice. It has necessitated re-deployment of staff and resources to cater for the unpredictable increase in footfall and demand on healthcare systems. This study aimed to investigate how the restructuring of our service altered the triage and management of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) during the pandemic's first wave rise and peak. We retrospectively analysed all patients who underwent a skin excision under local anaesthetic which revealed the presence of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on histopathological analysis between 1st February 2020 - 31st May 2020 compared with the same period in 2019. There was a 158% increase in patients with excision of lesions confirmed on histopathological analysis as a NMSC during the COVID-19 period (168 vs. 65). In 2020, more excisions were performed by consultants (42.9% v 21.5%, p = 0.002) with a lower proportion of excisions with a close margin (27.7% v 17.8%, p = 0.096) and an involved margin (3.1% v 1.8%, p = 0.62). Five of these patients had their further management altered due to service constraints at this time The resource constraints secondary to the pandemic have yielded beneficial service adaptations with the incorporation of a more efficient model for the NMSC service. The sustainability of this model and its impact on training will require further examination when non-urgent and benign elective workload is slowly reinstated and plastic surgery trainees return to their original posts.

Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE's sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach.

Abstract
To date no study has examined time trends in adolescent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and energy drinks, or modelled change in inequalities over time. The present study aimed to fill this gap by identifying historical trends among secondary school students in Wales, United Kingdom. The present study includes 11–16 year olds who completed the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey and the Welsh School Health Research Network (SHRN) survey between 1998 to 2017. Multinomial regression models were employed alongside tests for interaction effects. A total of 176,094 student responses were assessed. From 1998 to 2017, the prevalence of daily sugar-sweetened beverage consumption decreased (57% to 18%) while weekly consumption has remained constant since 2006 (49% to 52%). From 2013 to 2017, daily consumption of energy drinks remained stable (6%) while weekly consumption reports steadily decreased (23% to 15%). Boys, older children and those from a low socioeconomic group reported higher consumption rates of sugar-sweetened beverages and energy drinks. Consumption according to socioeconomic group was the only characteristic to show a statistically significant change over time, revealing a widening disparity between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption rates of those from low and high socioeconomic groups. Findings indicate a positive shift in overall consumption rates of both sugar-sweetened beverages and energy drinks. Adolescents from a low socioeconomic group however were consistently shown to report unfavourable sugar-sweetened beverages consumption when compared to peers from high socioeconomic group. Given the established longer term impacts of sugar-sweetened beverage and energy drink consumption on adolescent health outcomes, urgent policy action is required to reduce overall consumption rates, with close attention to equity of impact throughout policy design and evaluation plans.
