Abstract
The first complete measurement of the β-decay strength distribution of _{17}^{45}Cl_{28} was performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) with the FRIB Decay Station Initiator during the second FRIB experiment. The measurement involved the detection of neutrons and γ rays in two focal planes of the FRIB Decay Station Initiator in a single experiment for the first time. This enabled an analytical consistency in extracting the β-decay strength distribution over the large range of excitation energies, including neutron unbound states. We observe a rapid increase in the β-decay strength distribution above the neutron separation energy in _{18}^{45}Ar_{27}. This was interpreted to be caused by the transitioning of neutrons into protons excited across the Z=20 shell gap. The SDPF-MU interaction with reduced shell gap best reproduced the data. The measurement demonstrates a new approach that is sensitive to the proton shell gap in neutron rich nuclei according to SDPF-MU calculations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Empty pelvis syndrome (EPS) is a significant source of morbidity following pelvic exenteration (PE), but is undefined. EPS outcome reporting and descriptors of radicality of PE are inconsistent; therefore, the best approaches for prevention are unknown. To facilitate future research into EPS, the aim of this study is to define a measurable core outcome set, core descriptor set and written definition for EPS. Consensus on strategies to mitigate EPS was also explored. METHOD Three-stage consensus methodology was used: longlisting with systematic review, healthcare professional event, patient engagement, and Delphi-piloting; shortlisting with two rounds of modified Delphi; and a confirmatory stage using a modified nominal group technique. This included a selection of measurement instruments, and iterative generation of a written EPS definition. RESULTS One hundred and three and 119 participants took part in the modified Delphi and consensus meetings, respectively. This encompassed international patient and healthcare professional representation with multidisciplinary input. Seventy statements were longlisted, seven core outcomes (bowel obstruction, enteroperineal fistula, chronic perineal sinus, infected pelvic collection, bowel obstruction, morbidity from reconstruction, re-intervention, and quality of life), and four core descriptors (magnitude of surgery, radiotherapy-induced damage, methods of reconstruction, and changes in volume of pelvic dead space) reached consensus-where applicable, measurement of these outcomes and descriptors was defined. A written definition for EPS was agreed. CONCLUSIONS EPS is an area of unmet research and clinical need. This study provides an agreed definition and core data set for EPS to facilitate further research.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this review is to assess the efficacy and safety of using heat and cold therapy for adults with lymphoedema. METHODS A multi-database search was undertaken. Only studies which included adults with lymphoedema who were treated with heat or cold therapy reporting any outcome were included. Screening, data extraction, and assessment of bias were undertaken by a single reviewer and verified by a second. Due to the substantial heterogeneity, a descriptive synthesis was undertaken. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included. All nine studies which assessed the effects of heat-therapy on changes in limb circumference reported a point estimate indicating some reduction from baseline to end of study. Similarly, the five studies evaluating the use of heat-therapy on limb volume demonstrated a reduction in limb volume from baseline to end-of-study. Only four studies reported adverse events of which all were deemed to be minor. Only two studies explored the effects of cold therapy on lymphoedema. CONCLUSIONS Tentative evidence suggests heat-therapy may have some benefit in treating lymphoedema with minimal side effects. However, further high-quality randomised controlled trials are required, with a particular focus on moderating factors and assessment of adverse events.

Abstract
Sc1 is a high-prevalence blood group antigen that is part of the Scianna blood group system. The clinical significance of Scianna antibodies is not well understood because of their rarity; there are only a handful of cases in the literature. This scarcity of information can make it difficult to decide on the best course of action when transfusing a patient with alloantibodies to Scianna blood group antigens. We describe a case of an 85-year-old woman presenting with melena and a hemoglobin of 66 g/L. Upon request for crossmatched blood, a panreactive antibody was found, later elucidated to be alloanti-Sc1. Because of the urgent nature of the transfusion, the patient was transfused with 2 incompatible, presumed Sc1+, red blood cell units with no evidence of an acute or delayed transfusion reaction. This case has been shared with the International Society of Blood Transfusion Rare Donor Working Party, via their Outcome of Incompatible Transfusion form, and adds to the body of evidence on clinical significance of antibodies to the antigens of the Scianna blood group system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, we reported short-term improvements in auditory attention, oromotor processing speed, and executive function during the active weight loss phase following bariatric surgery that persisted out to 3 months. In this study, our aims were to investigate the relationship between weight loss and cognitive performance in these patients 1 year following vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery and to determine whether preoperative cognitive performance predicted weight loss. METHODS Adult women ages 18-55 approved for bariatric surgery completed a cognitive battery prior to and at 2, 12, 24, and 52 weeks following VSG (N = 17) or RYGB (N = 18). Scores from each task were assigned to one of the following cognitive domains: auditory attention, processing speed, memory, and executive functioning. Weight loss and cognitive scores for each domain were calculated and compared between cohorts. RESULTS RYGB surgery resulted in greater weight loss at 1-year follow-up relative to VSG. Both VSG and RYGB procedures resulted in improved performance on different measures of auditory attention and both surgery groups improved across all processing speed tasks. Within the executive function domain, both groups showed improvements, but only the RYGB procedure resulted in improved performance in the Trail Making Test. Baseline auditory attention and memory performance predicted weight loss at 1 year following RYGB but not VSG surgery. Controlling for baseline cognitive performance, percent total weight loss predicted auditory attention at 1 year following RYGB but not VSG surgery. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery type may result in selective improvements in cognition during the first year following surgery. Presurgical cognitive performance as well as surgery type appears to influence weight loss outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alterations in gut hormone secretion and reported changes in taste preferences have been suggested to contribute to the weight-reducing effects of bariatric surgery. However, a link between changes in gut hormone secretion and taste preferences following bariatric surgery has yet to be elucidated. METHODS Here we examined the potential relationships between gut hormone responses (GLP-1 and PYY3-36 peak, ghrelin trough) to a test meal of Ensure and liking ratings for taste mixtures varying in sugar and fat content before and following bariatric surgery (vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG): N = 4; Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB): N = 8). RESULTS Significant increases in GLP-1 and PYY3-36 peak and a significant drop in ghrelin trough were observed following surgery. Pre- and postoperation, patients with higher postprandial GLP-1 or PYY3-36 peaks gave lower liking ratings for mixtures containing a combination of fat and sugar (half and half + 20% added sugar) whereas, for the combined surgery analyses, no relationships were found with solutions comprised of high fat (half and half + 0% sugar), predominantly high sugar (skim milk + 20% added sugar), or low fat and low sugar (skim milk + 0% added sugar). Within the RYGB patients, patients with the greatest increase in postprandial GLP-1 peak from preoperation to postoperation also demonstrated the greatest decrease in liking for half & half + 20% added sugar and skim milk + 20% added sugar, but not the unsweetened version of each solution. No pre- or postoperative relationship between ghrelin and liking ratings were observed. CONCLUSION Gut hormone responses following bariatric surgery may contribute to taste processing of sugar+fat mixtures and together influence weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plausible phenotype mechanisms following bariatric surgery include changes in neural and gastrointestinal physiology. This pilot study aims to investigate individual and combined neurologic, gut microbiome, and plasma hormone changes pre- versus post-vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and medical weight loss (MWL). We hypothesized post-weight loss phenotype would be associated with changes in central reward system brain connectivity, differences in postprandial gut hormone responses, and increased gut microbiome diversity. METHODS Subjects included participants undergoing VSG, n = 7; RYGB, n = 9; and MWL, n = 6. Ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide-1, peptide-YY, gut microbiome, and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI; using fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations [fALFF]) were measured pre- and post-intervention in fasting and fed states. We explored phenotype characterization using clustering on gut hormone, microbiome, and rsfMRI datasets and a combined analysis. RESULTS We observed more widespread fALFF differences post-bariatric surgery versus post-MWL. Decreased post-prandial fALFF was seen in food reward regions post-RYGB. The highest number of microbial taxa that increased post-intervention occurred in the RYGB group, followed by VSG and MWL. The combined hormone, microbiome, and MRI dataset most accurately clustered samples into pre- versus post-VSG phenotypes followed by RYGB subjects. CONCLUSION The data suggest surgical weight loss (VSG and RYGB) has a bigger impact on brain and gut function versus MWL and leads to lesser post-prandial activation of food-related neural circuits. VSG subjects had the greatest phenotype differences in interactions of microbiome, rsfMRI, and gut hormone features, followed by RYGB and MWL. These results will inform future prospective research studying gut-brain changes post-bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BackgroundAlthough it may be difficult to detect changes in spinal mobility on the short term, spinal mobility is considered an important measure to assess the efficacy of drugs used to treat axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). However, few studies evaluated the long-term impact of biologic treatment on spinal mobility.ObjectivesTo describe the long-term effect of TNF inhibitors (TNFi) on spinal mobility in patients with axSpA, and to determine whether the use of TNFi treatment influences spinal mobility, and if this due to a direct or indirect effect (mediated by disease activity).MethodsWe performed a retrospective observational study, using data collected from patients with a clinical diagnosis of axSpA treated with TNFi at a tertiary care centre where disease activity and metrology assessments are routinely done. Adult patients with at least two Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) measurements were included. Disease activity was measured using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score C-reactive protein (ASDAS). The longitudinal association between TNFi and improvement in BASDAI/ASDAS was tested using a linear mixed effects model with BASMI as dependent variable. To test whether TNFi had a direct effect on BASMI, not mediated by disease activity, we tested that TNFi treatment was not conditionally independent of BASMI given BASDAI/ASDAS (Figure 1). We tested whether the nodes TNFi and BASMI were disconnected if we removed BASDAI and ASDAS. To test this conditional independence, we first built a linear mixed effects model for BASMI given BASDAI or ASDAS when the patient was under TNFi and used this model to predict a 95% confidence interval (CI) for BASMI given the data for BASDAI/ASDAS when the patient was without TNFi. We checked whether the true value of BASMI lay within this 95% CI and performed a hypothesis test for binomial distribution where H0: p=0.95. To test for the indirect effect of TNFi on BASMI reduction, mediated through the disease activity, we regressed BASMI on BASDAI/ASDAS, TNFi (if there was a direct effect), demographics, presence of radiographic (r-) axSpA and HLA-B27 positivity, using a linear mixed effects model adjusted for within-patient correlation.Figure 1.Indirect effect of TNFi on BASMI (represented by the full line), through the influence of TNFi on disease activity, adjusted by other confounders and direct effect of TNFi on BASMI (dashed line), independently of disease activity.ResultsData from 188 patients and 1326 visits were analysed. Mean age was 45.6 (SD 11.6) years, mean disease duration was 15.8 (SD 9.64) years, 152 (80.9%) were male, 120 (73.6%) had r-axSpA, and 83 (74.8%) were HLA-B27 positive. Mean follow-up time was 8.0 (SD 4.4) years, ranging from 0.8 to 18.2 years. Treatment with TNFi was significantly associated with long-term improvement in BASMI (B=-0.423, 95% CI=[-0.553,-0.292], p<0.001). An indirect effect of TNFi on BASMI improvement was observed, mediated by reduction in disease activity, measured by BASDAI (B=0.146, 95% CI=[0.092, 0.200], p<0.001) or ASDAS (B=0.405, 95% CI=[0.260, 0.549], p<0.001). Using conditional independence tests, a direct effect of TNFi on BASMI improvement was also observed, independently of disease activity, when BASDAI was used (p<0.001) as a covariate, but not when ASDAS was used (p=0.3104). The direct effect of TNFi (B=-0.300, 95% CI=[-0.576,-0.025], p<0.001) on BASMI was estimated in the BASDAI-adjusted mixed effects model.ConclusionTNFi are effective at improving BASMI in patients with axSpA, in a real-life setting. This effect is mainly explained by the reduction in disease activity. However, a direct effect of TNFi on BASMI could also be demonstrated, when disease activity was measured by BASDAI, suggesting that ASDAS captures additional factors that can influence spinal mobility. These potential factors deserve further investigation, but they could for example include biomechanical properties of tendons and myofascial tissue.Disclosure of InterestsAna Sofia Pinto: None declared, Bohao Yao: None declared, Claire Harris: None declared, Rhys Hayward: None declared, Andrew Keat: None declared, Pedro Machado Speakers bureau: Received consulting/speaker’s fees from Abbvie, BMS, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Galapagos, Janssen, MSD, Novartis, Orphazyme, Pfizer, Roche and UCB, all unrelated to thismanuscript, Consultant of: Received consulting/speaker’s fees from Abbvie, BMS, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Galapagos, Janssen, MSD, Novartis, Orphazyme, Pfizer, Roche and UCB, all unrelated to thismanuscript

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Racial bias has always been a concern for healthcare. Lack of guideline directed utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in cardiogenic shock (CS) may lead to implicit and racial bias.
Purpose
To identify the racial differences in the use of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock and its association with outcomes.
Methods
National Inpatient Database from 2015–2018 using ICD 10 codes was used. Patients >18 years of age admitted for cariogenic shock were included.
Results
Among 1,021,274 patients hospitalized for cardiogenic shock, overall MCS was utilized in 11.4% (N=116,539). Use of MCS for patients stratified by race was 12.2% white (N=85543), 8% Blacks (N=14688), 11.3% Hispanics (N=11067), 13.8% Asian (N=4417), 12.3% Native American (N=825). IABP was the most commonly used MCS device, followed by Impella, ECMO and LVAD. Overall odds of MCS insertion was significantly higher in white population [1.18 (1.13–1.23) <0.001] and significantly lower in Blacks [0.65 (0.61–0.69) <0.001] and Hispanics [0.89 (0.83–0.97) 0.004]. Among black patients with CS requiring MCS, odds of LVAD insertion were similar compared to other races [1.03 (0.89–1.19) 0.714], while odds of all other types of MCS devices including ECMO [0.83 (0.72–0.95) 0.009], IABP [0.63 (0.59–0.68) <0.001] and Impella [0.61 (0.54–0.70) <0.001] were significantly lower compared to other races. This trend also holds true for patients with CS associated with acute myocardial infarction. Among all patients with CS, the odds of mortality were significantly lower among white patients [0.92 (0.90–0.95) <0.001], on the contrary, odds of mortality were significantly higher in Blacks [1.06 (1.02–1.10) 0.001] and Asians [1.11 (1.02–1.20) 0.012]. Interestingly, when only comparing patients who underwent MCS utilization for CS, odds of mortality were similar in black population compared to other races. [1.03 (0.91–1.17) 0.636].
Conclusion(s)
There still exist significant racial differences in the use of mechanical circulatory devices for cardiogenic shock potentially leading to significantly higher mortality in black population compared to whites. This difference in mortality is mitigated with equal use of MCS devices in cardiogenic shock among all races.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
There is an increase in the utilization of robotic surgery in addition to traditional open or laparoscopic approaches. The aim of this study is to compare the short-term outcomes for open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery for rectal and sigmoid cancer.
Method
One hundred and forty-seven patients (open n = 48, laparoscopic n = 49, robotic n = 50) undergoing curative resections by two surgeons, using a standardized technique, between 2013 and 2020 were included. Data analyzed included patient demographics, tumor characteristics, length of stay, post-operative outcomes, and pathologic surrogates of oncologic results, including total mesorectal excision (TME) quality, circumferential resection margin (CRM) involvement and lymph node (LN) yield.
Results
Median age of population was 68 years (IQR 59-73), majority (68%) were males. Median distance from anal verge in robotic surgery group was 8 cm, compared to 15 and 14.5 cm in the open and laparoscopic groups respectively, p = 0.029, (laparoscopic vs robotic, p = 0.005 and open vs robotic, p = 0.027). Proportion of patients who received neoadjuvant radiotherapy in robotic surgery group was higher, p = 0.04. In sub-group of tumors between 3 and 7 cm from anal verge more patients in the robotic surgery group had sphincter preservation, p = 0.006. Length of stay, maximum C-reactive protein, and white blood cell rise favored minimally invasive approaches compared to open surgery. There were no differences in post-operative complications, lymph node yield or CRM positivity rate between the three groups.
Conclusions
Robotic surgery approach is safe and allows sphincter preservation without compromising TME quality in rectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acidemia, is associated with reduced cardiac function in animals, but no studies showing an effect of acidemia on cardiac function in humans are reported. In the present study, we examined the effect of acidemia on cardiac function assessed with transpulmonary thermodilution technique with integrated pulse contour analysis (Pulse Contour Cardiac Output, PiCCO™) in a large cohort of critically ill patients. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter observational cross-sectional study of 297 patients from 6 intensive care units in London, England selected from all patients admitted consecutively between May 2018 and March 2019. Measurements of lowest plasma pH and concurrent assessment of cardiac function were obtained. FINDINGS There was a significant difference between two pH categories (pH ≤ 7.28 vs. pH > 7.28) for the following variables of cardiac function: SVI (difference in means 32.7; 95% CI: 21 to 45 mL/m2; p < 0.001); GEF (18; 95% CI: 11 to 26%; p < 0.001), dPmax (-331; 95% CI: -510 to -153 mmHg/s; p = 0.001), CFI (0.7; 95% CI: 0.2 to 1.3 1/min; p = 0.01) and CPI (0.09; 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.15 W/m2; p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in CI (0.13; 95% CI: -0.20 to 0.47 L/min/m2; p = 0.12) between the pH categories. Also, a significant relationship was found between the quantitative pH and the following variables: SVI (132; 95% CI: 77 to 188 mL/m2; p < 0.001), GEF (74.7; 95% CI: 37.1 to 112.4%; p < 0.001), dPmax (-1587; 95% CI: -2361 to -815 mmHg/s; p < 0.001), CFI (3.5; 95% CI: 0.9 to 6.1 /min; p = 0.009), CPI (0.62; 95% CI: 0.36 to 0.88 W/m2; p < 0.001) and CI (regression coefficient 1.96; 95% CI:0.45 to 3.47 L/min/m2; p = 0.01). INTERPRETATION Acidemia is associated with impaired cardiac function in seriously ill patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit supporting the potential value of early diagnosis and improvement of arterial pH in these patients. FUNDING The study was partially supported by unrestricted funds from the UCLA School of Medicine.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Colorectal cancers (CRC) are the second most common cause of death by cancer, in the UK. Microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis is novel yet important part of managing CRC and used as a tool for predicting prognosis, treatment and identifying lynch syndrome. Where lynch syndrome is identified, preventative screening can be utilised. Previous studies only focused tumour testing on high-risk cases.
Method
A retrospective study at Northumbria Health Care NHS Trust was performed on all new CRC patients between 2017-2020.
Results
A total of 965 patients with CRC were identified. After exclusion criteria was applied to the cohort, a total of 483 patients were identified as having undergone MSI analysis. The mean age was 73.5 years old, with the female to male ratio being 1:1.4. Patients were further grouped into MSI stable, low, and high. MSI High patients accounted for 10% of patients analysed. Further genetic testing was performed on these patients which highlighted 28 patients with BRAF positive genes who went on to screening for Lynch syndrome associated cancers.
Conclusions
MSI testing provides essential diagnostic, prognostic information and also guides treatment options. 2.9% of patients identified as high risk for familial cancers and went on to have genetic screening and surveillance.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The aim was to identify which factors promote and discourage undergraduate medical students, based in a district general hospital, for choosing a career in surgery. A review of the current literature on this topic was undertaken in conjunction with the questionnaire.
Method
An online structured questionnaire was sent to all undergraduate clinical medical students based in Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital (NSECH), a teaching DGH. As well as the questionnaire, a systematic review of the literature was conducted on EMBASE, MEDLINE and Google Scholar using key search terms to review factors that influenced surgical career choices.
Results
The response rate was 46% (44/95). 75% of students rated variety of work, intellectually interesting and environment as the most important factors for their future careers. Status, financial rewards, and research opportunities were least important influences for respondents’ career decision making. A systematic literature review highlights that lifestyle factors, work-life balance were particularly important, perceived prestige and financial rewards were associated surgical career choices amongst medical students.
Conclusions
Multiple factors influence medical students career decision making and it is important to identify these factors for many reasons. Further research is recommended to further explore medical students’ perceptions on promoting and discouraging factors for surgical careers.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDBariatric surgeries are the most effective treatments for successful and sustained weight loss, but individuals vary in treatment response. Understanding the neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms accounting for this variation could lead to the development of personalized therapeutic approaches and improve treatment outcomes. The primary objectives of this study were to investigate changes in taste preferences and taste-induced brain responses after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and to identify potential taste-related predictors of weight loss.METHODSFemales, ages 18 to 55, with a body mass index greater than or equal to 35 kg/m2, and approved for bariatric surgery at the Johns Hopkins Center for Bariatric Surgery were recruited for participation. Demographics, anthropometrics, liking ratings, and neural responses to varying concentrations of sucrose plus fat mixtures were assessed before and after surgery via visual analog scales and functional MRI.RESULTSBariatric surgery produced decreases in liking for sucrose-sweetened mixtures. Greater preference for sucrose-sweetened mixtures before surgery was associated with greater weight loss in RYGB, but not VSG. In the RYGB group only, individuals who showed lower taste-induced activation in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) before surgery and greater changes in taste-induced VTA activation 2 weeks following surgery experienced increased weight loss.CONCLUSIONThe anatomical and/or metabolic changes associated with RYGB may more effectively "reset" the neural processing of reward stimuli, thereby rescuing the blunted activation in the mesolimbic pathway found in patients with obesity. Further, these findings suggest that RYGB may be particularly effective in patients with a preference for sweet foods.FUNDINGNIH K23DK100559 and Dalio Philanthropies.

Abstract
Background Symptoms arising from vestibular system dysfunction are observed in 49–59% of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Symptoms may include vertigo, dizziness and/or imbalance. These impact on functional ability, contribute to falls and significant health and social care costs. In people with MS, vestibular dysfunction can be due to peripheral pathology that may include Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), as well as central or combined pathology. Vestibular symptoms may be treated with vestibular rehabilitation (VR), and with repositioning manoeuvres in the case of BPPV. However, there is a paucity of evidence about the rate and degree of symptom recovery with VR for people with MS and vestibulopathy. In addition, given the multiplicity of symptoms and underpinning vestibular pathologies often seen in people with MS, a customised VR approach may be more clinically appropriate and cost effective than generic booklet-based approaches. Likewise, BPPV should be identified and treated appropriately. Methods/ design People with MS and symptoms of vertigo, dizziness and/or imbalance will be screened for central and/or peripheral vestibulopathy and/or BPPV. Following consent, people with BPPV will be treated with re-positioning manoeuvres over 1–3 sessions and followed up at 6 and 12 months to assess for any re-occurrence of BPPV. People with central and/or peripheral vestibulopathy will be entered into a randomised controlled trial (RCT). Trial participants will be randomly allocated (1:1) to either a 12-week generic booklet-based home programme with telephone support or a 12-week VR programme consisting of customised treatment including 12 face-to-face sessions and a home exercise programme. Customised or booklet-based interventions will start 2 weeks after randomisation and all trial participants will be followed up 14 and 26 weeks from randomisation. The primary clinical outcome is the Dizziness Handicap Inventory at 26 weeks and the primary economic endpoint is quality-adjusted life-years. A range of secondary outcomes associated with vestibular function will be used. Discussion If customised VR is demonstrated to be clinically and cost-effective compared to generic booklet-based VR this will inform practice guidelines and the development of training packages for therapists in the diagnosis and treatment of vestibulopathy in people with MS.

Abstract
Nystagmus is an eye movement disorder characterised by abnormal, involuntary rhythmic oscillations of one or both eyes, initiated by a slow phase. It is not uncommon in the UK and regularly seen in paediatric ophthalmology and adult general/strabismus clinics. In some cases, it occurs in isolation, and in others, it occurs as part of a multisystem disorder, severe visual impairment or neurological disorder. Similarly, in some cases, visual acuity can be normal and in others can be severely degraded. Furthermore, the impact on vision goes well beyond static acuity alone, is rarely measured and may vary on a minute-to-minute, day-to-day or month-to-month basis. For these reasons, management of children with nystagmus in the UK is varied, and patients report hugely different experiences and investigations. In this review, we hope to shine a light on the current management of children with nystagmus across five specialist centres in the UK in order to present, for the first time, a consensus on investigation and clinical management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the impact of preoperative exposure to intravenous contrast for CT and the risk of developing postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS This prospective, multicentre cohort study included adults undergoing gastrointestinal resection, stoma reversal or liver resection. Both elective and emergency procedures were included. Preoperative exposure to intravenous contrast was defined as exposure to contrast administered for the purposes of CT up to 7 days before surgery. The primary endpoint was the rate of AKI within 7 days. Propensity score-matched models were adjusted for patient, disease and operative variables. In a sensitivity analysis, a propensity score-matched model explored the association between preoperative exposure to contrast and AKI in the first 48 h after surgery. RESULTS A total of 5378 patients were included across 173 centres. Overall, 1249 patients (23·2 per cent) received intravenous contrast. The overall rate of AKI within 7 days of surgery was 13·4 per cent (718 of 5378). In the propensity score-matched model, preoperative exposure to contrast was not associated with AKI within 7 days (odds ratio (OR) 0·95, 95 per cent c.i. 0·73 to 1·21; P = 0·669). The sensitivity analysis showed no association between preoperative contrast administration and AKI within 48 h after operation (OR 1·09, 0·84 to 1·41; P = 0·498). CONCLUSION There was no association between preoperative intravenous contrast administered for CT up to 7 days before surgery and postoperative AKI. Risk of contrast-induced nephropathy should not be used as a reason to avoid contrast-enhanced CT.

Abstract
An analytical solution describing the electrostatic interaction between particles with inhomogeneous surface charge distributions has been developed. For particles, each carrying a single charge, the solution equates to the presence of a point charge residing on the surface, which makes it particularly suitable for investigating the Coulomb fission of doubly charged clusters close to the Rayleigh instability limit. For a series of six separate molecular dication clusters, center-of-mass kinetic energy releases have been extracted from experimental measurements of their kinetic energy spectra following Coulomb fission. These data have been compared with Coulomb energy barriers calculated from the electrostatic interaction energies given by this new solution. For systems with high dielectric permittivity, results from the point charge model provide a viable alternative to kinetic energy releases calculated on the assumption of a uniform distribution of surface charge. The equivalent physical picture for the clusters would be that of a trapped proton. For interacting particles with low dielectric permittivity, a uniform distribution of charge provides better agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
Pre-hospital transfusion of blood products is a vital component of many advanced pre-hospital systems. Portable fluid warmers may be utilised to help prevent hypothermia, but the limits defined by manufacturers often do not reflect their clinical use. The primary aim of this randomised in-vitro study was to assess the warming performance of four portable blood warming devices (Thermal Angel, Hypotherm X LG, °M Warmer, Buddy Lite) against control at different clinically-relevant flow rates. The secondary aim was to assess haemolysis rates between devices at different flow rates. We assessed each of the four devices and the control, at flow rates of 50 ml.min-1 , 100 ml.min-1 and 200 ml.min-1 , using a controlled perfusion circuit with multisite temperature monitoring. Free haemoglobin concentration, a marker of haemolysis, was measured at multiple points during each initial study run with spectrophotometry. At all flow rates, the four devices provided superior warming performance compared with the control (p < 0.001). Only the °M Warmer provided a substantial change in temperature at all flow rates (mean (95%CI) temperature change of 21.1 (19.8-22.4) °C, 20.4 (19.1-21.8) °C and 19.4 (17.7-21.1) °C at 50 ml.min-1 , 100 ml.min-1 and 200 ml.min-1 , respectively). There was no association between warming and haemolysis with any device (p = 0.949) or flow rate (p = 0.169). Practical issues, which may be relevant to clinical use, also emerged during testing. Our results suggest that there were significant differences in the performance of portable blood warming devices used at flow rates encountered in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
Precise control of the glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) redox balance is vital for the developing embryo, but regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. We developed a novel, mechanistic mass-balance model for GSH metabolism in the organogenesis stage (gestational day 10.0-11.13) rat conceptus predicting the dynamics of 8 unique metabolites in 3 conceptal compartments: the visceral yolk sac (VYS), the extra-embryonic fluid (EEF) and the embryo proper (EMB). Our results show that thiol concentrations in all compartments are well predicted by the model. Protein synthesis is predicted to be a major efflux pathway for all amino acid precursors of GSH synthesis and an essential model element. Our model provides quantitative insights in the transport fluxes and enzymatic fluxes needed to maintain thiol redox balances under normal physiological conditions. This is crucial to further elucidate the mechanisms through which chemical exposure can perturb redox homeostasis, causing oxidative stress, and potentially birth defects.

Abstract
Background It is standard practice to image concerning bruises in children. We aim to compare the clarity and measurements of bruises using cross polarized, infra-red (IR) and ultra-violet (UV) images to conventional images. Methods Children aged <11 years with incidental bruising were recruited. Demographics, skin and bruise details were recorded. Bruises were imaged by standard protocols in conventional, cross-polarized, IR and UV lights. Bruises were assessed in vivo for contrast, uniformity and diffuseness, and these characteristics were then compared across image modalities. Color images (conventional, cross polarized) were segmented and measured by ImageJ. Bruises of grey scale images (IR, UV) were measured by a ‘plug in’ of ImageJ. The maximum and minimum Feret's diameter, area and aspect ratio, were determined. Comparison of measurements across imaging modalities was conducted using Wilcoxon rank sum tests and modified Bland-Altman graphs. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results Twenty five children had 39 bruises. Bruises that were of low contrast, i.e. difficult to distinguish from surrounding skin, were also more diffuse, and less uniformity in vivo. Low contrast bruises were best seen on conventional and cross-polarized images and less distinctive on IR and UV images. Of the 19 bruises visible in all modalities, the only significant difference was maximum and minimum Feret's diameters and area were smaller on IR compared to conventional images. Aspect ratios were not affected by the modality. Conclusions Conventional and cross-polarized imaging provides the most consistent bruise measurement, particularly in bruises that are not easily distinguished from surrounding skin visually. Diffuse bruises may be measured on conventional & cross polarized imaging. Infrared or ultraviolet imaging may not show bruises which are difficult to see in vivo. Measurements of bruises using infrared imaging may be smaller than other modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both pleasure and competition horses regularly exercise on surfaces such as tarmac, gravel and turf during 'hacking'. Despite this, there is limited evidence relating to the effect of these surfaces upon foot-surface interaction. OBJECTIVES To investigate forelimb foot placement, hoof vibration and movement symmetry in pleasure horses on three commonly encountered hacking surfaces. STUDY DESIGN Quantitative gait study in a convenience sample. METHODS Six horses regularly partaking in hacking exercise were ridden in walk and trot on all surfaces. Horses were equipped with one hoof-mounted, accelerometer and four body-mounted inertial measurement units (IMUs) to measure foot impact and movement symmetry. High-speed (400 FPS) video footage of foot-placement was acquired (dorsal, palmar, lateral views). Foot-impact and movement symmetry were analysed with a mixed effects model and Bowker symmetry tests for foot-placement analysis. RESULTS Vibration power and frequency parameters increase as perceived surface firmness increases from grass, to gravel, to tarmac (P≤0.001). Vibration power parameters were consistently greater at trot compared with walk (P≤0.001), but the same was not true for vibration frequency (P≥0.2). Greatest movement asymmetry was recorded during grass surface trotting. No significant difference in foot-placement was detected between the three surfaces. MAIN LIMITATIONS This was a field study using three commonly encountered hacking surfaces. Surface properties change easily with water content and temperature fluctuations so care must be taken when considering other similar surfaces, especially at different times of the year. Six leisure horses were used so the results may not be representative of horses of all types. CONCLUSIONS Vibration parameters generally increase as perceived surface firmness increases. Increasing speed alters vibration power but not frequency. Further investigations are required to determine the role that this may play in the development of musculoskeletal disease in horses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A core outcomes set (COS) is an agreed minimum set of outcomes that should be measured and reported in all clinical trials for a specific condition. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has no agreed-upon COS. A central aspect in the COS development process is to identify a set of candidate outcome domains from a long list of items. Our long list had been developed from patient interviews, a systematic review of the literature and a healthcare professional survey, and initial votes had been cast in two e-Delphi surveys. In this manuscript, we describe two in-person consensus meetings of Delphi participants designed to ensure an inclusive approach to generation of domains from related items. OBJECTIVES To consider which items from a long list of candidate items to exclude and which to cluster into outcome domains. METHODS The study used an international and multistakeholder approach, involving patients, dermatologists, surgeons, the pharmaceutical industry and medical regulators. The study format was a combination of formal presentations, small group work based on nominal group theory and a subsequent online confirmation survey. RESULTS Forty-one individuals from 13 countries and four continents participated. Nine items were excluded and there was consensus to propose seven domains: disease course, physical signs, HS-specific quality of life, satisfaction, symptoms, pain and global assessments. CONCLUSIONS The HISTORIC consensus meetings I and II will be followed by further e-Delphi rounds to finalize the core domain set, building on the work of the in-person consensus meetings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bruising is a common abusive injury in children, and it is standard practice to image and measure them, yet there is no current standard for measuring bruise size consistently. We aim to identify the optimal method of measuring photographic images of bruises, including computerised measurement techniques. METHODS 24 children aged <11 years (mean age of 6.9, range 2.5-10 years) with a bruise were recruited from the community. Demographics and bruise details were recorded. Each bruise was measured in vivo using a paper measuring tape. Standardised conventional and cross polarized digital images were obtained. The diameter of bruise images were measured by three computer aided measurement techniques: Image J (segmentation with Simple Interactive Object Extraction (maximum Feret diameter), 'Circular Selection Tool' (Circle diameter), & the Photoshop 'ruler' software (Photoshop diameter)). Inter and intra-observer effects were determined by two individuals repeating 11 electronic measurements, and relevant Intraclass Correlation Coefficient's (ICC's) were used to establish reliability. Spearman's rank correlation was used to compare in vivo with computerised measurements; a comparison of measurement techniques across imaging modalities was conducted using Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. Significance was set at p < 0.05 for all tests. RESULTS Images were available for 38 bruises in vivo, with 48 bruises visible on cross polarized imaging and 46 on conventional imaging (some bruises interpreted as being single in vivo appeared to be multiple in digital images). Correlation coefficients were >0.5 for all techniques, with maximum Feret diameter and maximum Photoshop diameter on conventional images having the strongest correlation with in vivo measurements. There were significant differences between in vivo and computer-aided measurements, but none between different computer-aided measurement techniques. Overall, computer aided measurements appeared larger than in vivo. Inter- and intra-observer agreement was high for all maximum diameter measurements (ICC's > 0.7). CONCLUSIONS Whilst there are minimal differences between measurements of images obtained, the most consistent results were obtained when conventional images, segmented by Image J Software, were measured with a Feret diameter. This is therefore proposed as a standard for future research, and forensic practice, with the proviso that all computer aided measurements appear larger than in vivo.

Abstract
Acute ambulatory care is a critical component of the emergency care pathway with national policy support and a dedicated NHS Improvement network. The evidence base for treating acute medical illness outside hospital is a diverse mix of randomised and observational studies with varying inclusion criteria, prognostic stratification, interventions and healthcare setting which limits synthesis of all available evidence and translation to the UK context. There is little consensus on the level of risk for home-based treatment for acute medical illness. Selection tools for referral to acute ambulatory care have been developed but there is limited evidence for their use. There are still research questions concerning optimal staffing, referral mechanisms, point of care diagnostic portfolio and tools for shared decision making.
