Abstract
The current literature pertaining to associated morbidity and mortality with homologous blood transfusion in the surgical patient seems to be pointing only in one direction, which is we must start reducing our patients exposure to homologous blood and products. There appears to be ever mounting evidence of increases in infraction, stroke, transfusion related lung injury, infection, and death that authors are associating with transfusion. A number of authors are reporting success in reducing their patients' requirements for homologous transfusion simply by working as a team or what is known as a multidisciplinary approach and following set transfusion protocols and algorithms. At our institution we have taken note of these reports and have taken the first steps in the formation of a Cardiac Surgical Transfusion Management Group where all specialties involved in the decision making process of transfusion in the cardiac surgical patient can have representation and be directly involved in the establishment of protocols, transfusion algorithms, and a transfusion audit system. The main goal of this group is to implement a change in transfusion practice and to assess the impact the change has had on transfusion requirements and make appropriate recommendations to the treating specialists.

Abstract
The torsional stability of a polished, collarless, tapered total replacement hip joint stem has been investigated. It was believed that such a stem would show increasing torsional stability as the vertical component of load on the stem increased. The aim of the study was to examine this hypothesis by testing a number of specimens (including Exeter stems) with either a matt or polished finish, under increasing vertical load, measuring the torsional resistance of a specimen—cement construct within an outer constrained cement shell. It was concluded that stems with a polished, collarless, tapered shape showed increased torsional stability with increasing vertical load, while stems with a matt finish or a collar did not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Feline degenerative joint disease (DJD) is common and there are no approved therapies for the alleviation of the associated pain. OBJECTIVE To test a diet high in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content and supplemented with green-lipped mussel extract and glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate (test-diet) for its pain-relieving and activity-enhancing effects in cats with painful, mobility-impairing DJD over a 9-week period. ANIMALS Forty client-owned cats. METHODS Randomized, controlled, blinded, parallel group, prospective clinical study. Cats with no detectable systemic disease, and with at least 1 appendicular joint with radiographic evidence of DJD where manipulation elicited an aversive response were included. Cats were randomly allocated to the test-diet or control diet (C-diet). Outcome measures were subjective owner and veterinarian assessments, and objective activity monitoring (accelerometry). Nonparametric statistics were used to evaluate changes within and between groups for both subjective and objective data, and locally weighted scatterplot smoothing regression analysis was used to predict activity changes. RESULTS The primary objective outcome measures indicated that activity declined significantly (P < .001) in the C-diet group, significantly increased (P < .001) in the test-diet group and there was a significant difference between the groups (P < .001). CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE A diet high in EPA and DHA and supplemented with green-lipped mussel extract and glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate improved objective measures of mobility. Dietary modulation might be 1 method to use to improve mobility in cats with DJD-associated pain.

Abstract
This European Respiratory Society task force has reviewed the evidence for paediatric medicines in respiratory disease occurring in adults and children. We describe off-licence use, research priorities and ongoing studies. Off-licence and off-label prescribing in children is widespread and potentially harmful. Research areas in asthma include novel formulations and regimens, and individualised prescribing. In cystic fibrosis, future studies will focus on screened infants and robust outcome measures are needed. Other areas include new enzyme and antibiotic formulations and the basic defect. Research into pneumonia should include evaluation of new antibacterials and regimens, rapid diagnostic tests and, in pleural infection, antibiotic penetration, fibrinolytics and surveillance. In uncommon conditions, such as primary ciliary dyskinesia, congenital pulmonary abnormalities or neuromuscular disorders, drugs indicated for other conditions (e.g. dornase alfa) are commonly used and trials are needed. In neuromuscular disorders, the beta-agonists may enhance muscle strength and are in need of evaluation. Studies of antibiotic prophylaxis, immunoglobulin and antifungal drugs are needed in immune deficiency. We hope that this summary of the evidence for respiratory medicines in children, highlighting gaps and research priorities, will be useful for the pharmaceutical industry, the paediatric committee of the European Medicines Agency, academic investigators and the lay public.

Abstract
The saving of many lives in history has been duly credited to blood transfusions. What is frequently overlooked is the fact that, in light of a wealth of evidence as well as other management options, a therapy deemed suitable yesterday may no longer be the first choice today. Use of blood has not been based upon scientific evaluation of benefits, but mostly on anecdotal experience and a variety of factors are challenging current practice. Blood is a precious resource with an ever limiting supply due to the aging population. Costs have also continually increased due to advances (and complexities) in collection, testing, processing and administration of transfusion, which could make up 5% of the total health service budget. Risks of transfusions remain a major concern, with advances in blood screening and processing shifting the profile from infectious to non‐infectious risks. Most worrying though, is the accumulating literature demonstrating a strong (often dose‐dependent) association between transfusion and adverse outcomes. These include increased length of stay, postoperative infection, morbidity and mortality. To this end, a recent international consensus conference on transfusion outcomes (ICCTO) concluded that there was little evidence to corroborate that blood would improve patients’ outcomes in the vast majority of clinical scenarios in which transfusions are currently routinely considered; more appropriate clinical management options should be adopted and transfusion avoided wherever possible. On the other hand, there are patients for whom the perceived benefits of transfusion are likely to outweigh the potential risks. Consensus guidelines for blood component therapy have been developed to assist clinicians in identifying these patients and most of these guidelines have long advocated more conservative ‘triggers’ for transfusion. However, significant variation in practice and inappropriate transfusions are still prevalent. The ‘blood must always be good philosophy’ continues to permeate clinical practice. An alternative approach, however, is being adopted in an increasing number of centres. Experience in managing Jehovah’s Witness patients has shown that complex care without transfusion is possible and results are comparable with, if not better than those of transfused patients. These experiences and rising awareness of downsides of transfusion helped create what has become known as ‘patient blood management’. Principles of this approach include optimizing erythropoiesis, reducing surgical blood loss and harnessing the patient’s physiological tolerance of anaemia. Treatment is tailored to the individual patient, using a multidisciplinary team approach and employing a combination of modalities. Results have demonstrated reduction of transfusion, improved patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. Significant healthcare cost savings have also followed. Despite the success of patient blood management programmes and calls for practice change, the potential and actual harm to patients caused through inappropriate transfusion is still not sufficiently tangible for the public and many clinicians. This has to change. The medical, ethical, legal and economic evidence cannot be ignored. Patient blood management needs to be implemented as the standard of care for all patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies describing autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) come from liver transplant centres in which a skewed distribution of cases may give a misleading picture of the incidence of AIH and its natural history. This series describes AIH in a stable and demographically discrete population of patients in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the surrounding region. METHODS In 42 patients with type 1 AIH (point prevalence 8 per 100,000 population), clinical, laboratory and histological features at presentation, response to initial therapy, details of maintenance therapy and outcome were recorded. RESULTS Consistent with other publications, the male-to-female ratio was 1:3, mean age at presentation was 53 years and 24% had cirrhosis at diagnosis. Most patients (86%) responded to initial therapy and 67% went into long-term remission. One patient died from liver failure and none required liver transplantation. Azathioprine was included in the treatment regimen in 74% of cases with doses generally <2 mg/kg. Azathioprine dose greater than or equal to 2 mg/kg was associated with better clinical outcome, but this did not reach statistical significance. A higher proportion of female patients had cirrhosis at presentation (9/10 vs 1/10; P= 0.24). CONCLUSION In this Australian community-based study, type 1 AIH was primarily a disease of later life, responded to conventional immunosuppressive therapy and generally has a good prognosis. Further study of the use of azathioprine is warranted to determine the optimal dose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk of congenital anomalies in relation to an index of geographic density of landfill sites across 5x5 km grid squares in England. METHODS 2 km zones were constructed in a geographical information system around 8804 landfill sites, including 607 that handled special (hazardous) wastes, and intersected with postcode coordinates of over 10 million births (136,821 with congenital anomalies), 1983-98. A landfill exposure index was calculated to represent the geographic density of landfill sites within 2 km of births for each 5x5 km grid square, calculated separately for landfill sites handling special, and non-special or unknown, waste. For each group of landfills, the index was classified into four categories of intensity, and risks for the second, third and top categories were compared to the bottom category, comprising areas with no such landfill sites within 2 km (index of zero). We used hierarchical logistic regression modelling in a Bayesian framework, with adjustment for potential confounding. RESULTS For special waste sites, adjusted odds ratios were significant for the third category of the landfill exposure index for all anomalies combined and cardiovascular defects (OR 1.08 (95% credible interval 1.02 to 1.13) and 1.16 (1.00 to 1.33), respectively) and for hypospadias and epispadias for the third and top categories (OR 1.11 (1.02 to 1.21) and 1.12 (1.02 to 1.22), respectively). After adjustment, there were no excess risks in relation to sites handling non-special or unknown waste types. CONCLUSIONS There was a weak spatial association between risk of certain congenital anomalies and geographic density of special (hazardous) waste sites at the level of 5x5 km grid squares. Exposure pathways and mechanisms to help interpret these findings are not well-established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has a potential role in arterial plaque rupture, but its relation to risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) is uncertain. AIM To determine whether circulating levels of serum MMP-9 are prospectively related to the risk of CHD in the general population. METHODS We measured baseline MMP-9 levels in stored serum samples of subjects in a case-control study nested within a prospective study of 5661 men followed up for 16 years for CHD events (465 cases, 1076 controls). RESULTS MMP-9 values were associated with cigarette smoking, and with several inflammatory and haemostatic markers, but not with age, body mass index, blood pressure or lipid measurements. Men in the top third of baseline MMP-9 levels had an age-adjusted odds ratio (OR) for CHD of 1.37 (95% CI 1.04-1.82) compared with those in the bottom third. Adjustment for conventional risk factors (smoking in particular) reduced the odds ratio to borderline significance: OR 1.28 (95% CI 0.95-1.74), while additional adjustment for two markers of generalized inflammation, interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein, further attenuated the association: OR 1.13 (0.82-1.56). CONCLUSION Serum MMP-9 has a modest association with incident CHD in the general population, which is not independent of cigarette smoking exposure and circulating markers of generalized inflammation. MMP-9 is unlikely to be a clinically useful biomarker of CHD risk, but may still play a role in the pathogenesis of CHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary aspiration is a life-threatening complication of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, the incidence of which has not been determined. Endoscopy-related aspiration has not been studied in procedures in which patients swallow a radiolabelled potential aspirate immediately before endoscopy and undergo nuclear scanning postprocedure. METHODS A pilot study was conducted in which 200 MBq of nonabsorbable technetium-99m phytate in 10 mL of water was administered orally to 50 patients who were about to undergo endoscopy. Gamma camera images were obtained to ensure that there had been no aspiration before endoscopy. After endoscopy, a repeat scan was performed. Fluid aspirated through the endoscope was also collected and analyzed for radioactivity using a hand-held radiation monitor. RESULTS No evidence of pulmonary aspiration was found in any of the patients studied. The mean estimated percentage of the initially administered radioactivity aspirated through the endoscope was 2.66% (range 0% to 10.3%). CONCLUSION The present pilot study confirms earlier observations that clinically significant aspiration in the context of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is uncommon. The incidence of aspiration may, however, be different in acutely bleeding patients undergoing endoscopy. For logistic reasons, this group could not be studied.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with amygdala dysfunction generally have behavioral impairment. Temporal lobe surgery might be a model of study of unilateral amygdala resection. The objective of this study was to evaluate behavioral flexibility in epileptic patients who undergo amygdala resection for epilepsy surgery and evaluate its relationship with their neuropsychiatric symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten epileptic patients who underwent amygdala and hippocampal resection (6 left and 4 right) matched by age and educational level with 10 healthy controls were tested with an extensive neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric battery. Psychiatric symptomatology was measured with the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) and the Beck depression inventory. To assess behavioral flexibility the emotion-related visual reversal-learning task (O'Doherty et al., 2001) and the gambling task (Bechara et al., 1994) were used. RESULTS Patient's mean scores were: Beck: 8 +/- 1.5; PANSS positive: 10 +/- 1.3, and negative: 14.4 +/- 2.2; intellectual quotient (IQ): 101.4 +/- 6.3; category number in Wisconsin card sorting test: 4.6 +/- 2.4. The emotion-related visual reversal-learning task showed significance differences in the number of reversion: healthy controls: 9.3; epileptic patients: 4.23 (p < 0.001); in the number of trials to the first reversion: healthy controls: 5; epileptic patients: 23.42 (p < 0.05). There was no correlation between reversion and depression, PANSS and IQ. CONCLUSIONS Patients with epilepsy who undergo unilateral hippocampal and amygdala resection appear to have alterations in the reversion capacity with an emotional component that would explain the lack of behavior flexibility that they sometimes have and that are not related with either the isolated presence of executive alterations or low intellectual quotient.
