Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated if hybrid oesophagectomy with minimally invasive gastric mobilization and thoracotomy enabled faster recovery than open surgery. METHODS In eight UK centres, this pragmatic RCT recruited patients for oesophagectomy to treat localized cancer. Participants were randomly allocated to hybrid or open surgery, stratified by centre and receipt of neoadjuvant treatment. Large dressings aimed to mask patients to their allocation for six days post-surgery. The authors present the intention-to-treat analysis of outcome measures from the first 3 months post-randomization, including the primary outcome, the patient-reported physical function scale of the EORTC QLQ-C30, and cost-effectiveness. Current Controlled Trials registration: ISRCTN 59036820 (feasibility study), 10386621 (definitive study). FINDINGS There was no evidence of a difference between hybrid (n = 267) and open (n = 266) surgery in average physical function over 3 months post-randomization: difference in means 2.1, 95% c.i. -2.0 to 6.2, P = 0.3. Complication rates were similar; for example, 88 (34%) participants in the open and 82 (32%) participants in the hybrid surgery groups experienced a pulmonary infection within 30 days. There was no evidence that hybrid surgery was more cost-effective than open surgery at 3 months. CONCLUSIONS Patient-reported physical function in the 3 months post-randomization provided no evidence of a difference in recovery time between hybrid and open surgery, or a difference in cost-effectiveness. Both approaches to surgery were completed safely, with a similar risk of key complications, suggesting that surgeons who have a preference for one of the two approaches need not change their practice.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS While the risk factors for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are now well recognised, the risk factors for painful DPN remain unknown. We performed analysis of the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study data to elucidate the incidence and risk factors of painful DPN. METHODS The EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study recruited 3250 participants with type 1 diabetes who were followed up for 7.3±0.6 (mean ± SD) years. To evaluate DPN, a standardised protocol was used, including clinical assessment, quantitative sensory testing and autonomic function tests. Painful DPN (defined as painful neuropathic symptoms in the legs in participants with confirmed DPN) was assessed at baseline and follow-up. RESULTS At baseline, 234 (25.2%) out of 927 participants with DPN had painful DPN. At follow-up, incident DPN developed in 276 (23.5%) of 1172 participants. Of these, 41 (14.9%) had incident painful DPN. Most of the participants who developed incident painful DPN were female (73% vs 48% painless DPN p=0.003) and this remained significant after adjustment for duration of diabetes and HbA1c (OR 2.69 [95% CI 1.41, 6.23], p=0.004). The proportion of participants with macro- or microalbuminuria was lower in those with painful DPN compared with painless DPN (15% vs 34%, p=0.02), and this association remained after adjusting for HbA1c, diabetes duration and sex (p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In this first prospective study to investigate the risk factors for painful DPN, we definitively demonstrate that female sex is a risk factor for painful DPN. Additionally, there is less evidence of diabetic nephropathy in incident painful, compared with painless, DPN. Thus, painful DPN is not driven by cardiometabolic factors traditionally associated with microvascular disease. Sex differences may therefore play an important role in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain in diabetes. Future studies need to look at psychosocial, genetic and other factors in the development of painful DPN.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The porcine model shows structural features comparable to that of humans and are routinely used within research, due to the ethical, legal, and practical use of post-mortem human samples. Methods for obtaining high quality and comparable reference data using standardised acquisition protocols are essential. METHODS The decapitated heads of three adult white sows were subjected to radiographic imaging before and after cranial trauma (9 mm, Heckler and Koch MP5). Digital radiographs were generated using a Siemens MULTIX TOP system with an Agfa digital detector, with foam blocks and sandbags as ancillary equipment. An iterative approach was adopted by the authors to generate reproducible radiographic views from two perpendicular angles. Specimens were kept at 5 °C and wrapped in polythene bags to reduce the impact of putrefaction. RESULTS Standardised head radiography technique was developed for superior-inferior and lateral views demonstrating porcine anatomy. Key parameters included: automatic exposure control for tube current (∼4 mAs), tube voltage of 73 kVp, 100 cm source to image receptor distance, and an anti-scatter grid. Slight variances in specimen morphology, developmental status, and soft tissue changes did not affect imaging outcomes. CONCLUSION The technique and positioning proposed in this study allows for the acquisition of high quality and reproducible radiographic images for comparable ballistic research datasets. Specimen positioning and centring of the primary beam may be applied across porcine breeds, although individual radiographic parameters may differ according to equipment specifications and specimen size. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Development of a reproducible radiographic technique of porcine heads in forensic and veterinary research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We explored longitudinal changes associated with switching to hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery systems in adults with type 1 diabetes and elevated HbA1c levels despite the use of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) and insulin pump therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We undertook a pragmatic, preplanned observational study of participants included in the National Health Service England closed-loop pilot. Adults using isCGM and insulin pump across 31 diabetes centers in England with an HbA1c ≥8.5% who were willing to commence HCL therapy were included. Outcomes included change in HbA1c, sensor glucometrics, diabetes distress score, Gold score (hypoglycemia awareness), acute event rates, and user opinion of HCL. RESULTS In total, 570 HCL users were included (median age 40 [IQR 29-50] years, 67% female, and 85% White). Mean baseline HbA1c was 9.4 ± 0.9% (78.9 ± 9.1 mmol/mol) with a median follow-up of 5.1 (IQR 3.9-6.6) months. Of 520 users continuing HCL at follow-up, mean adjusted HbA1c reduced by 1.7% (95% CI 1.5, 1.8; P < 0.0001) (18.1 mmol/mol [95% CI 16.6, 19.6]; P < 0.0001). Time in range (70-180 mg/dL) increased from 34.2 to 61.9% (P < 0.001). Individuals with HbA1c of ≤58 mmol/mol rose from 0 to 39.4% (P < 0.0001), and those achieving ≥70% glucose time in range and <4% time below range increased from 0.8 to 28.2% (P < 0.0001). Almost all participants rated HCL therapy as having a positive impact on quality of life (94.7% [540 of 570]). CONCLUSIONS Use of HCL is associated with improvements in HbA1c, time in range, hypoglycemia, and diabetes-related distress and quality of life in people with type 1 diabetes in the real world.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adolescence is associated with high-risk hyperglycemia. This study examines the phenomenon in a life course context. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 93,125 people with type 1 diabetes aged 5 to 30 years were identified from the National Diabetes Audit and/or the National Paediatric Diabetes Audit for England and Wales for 2017/2018-2019/2020. For each audit year, the latest HbA1c and hospital admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) were identified. Data were analyzed in sequential cohorts by year of age. RESULTS In childhood, unreported HbA1c measurement is uncommon; however, for 19-year-olds, it increases to 22.3% for men and 17.3% for women, and then reduces to 17.9% and 13.1%, respectively, for 30-year-olds. Median HbA1c for 9-year-olds is 7.6% (60 mmol/mol) (interquartile range 7.1-8.4%, 54-68 mmol/mol) in boys and 7.7% (61 mmol/mol) (8.0-8.4%, 64-68 mmol/mol) in girls, increasing to 8.7% (72 mmol/mol) (7.5-10.3%, 59-89 mmol/mol) and 8.9% (74 mmol/mol) (7.7-10.6%, 61-92 mmol/mol), respectively, for 19-year-olds before falling to 8.4% (68 mmol/mol) (7.4-9.7%, 57-83 mmol/mol) and 8.2% (66 mmol/mol) (7.3-9.7%, 56-82 mmol/mol), respectively, for 30-year-olds. Annual hospitalization for DKA rose steadily in age from 6 years (2.0% for boys, 1.4% for girls) and peaked at 19 years for men (7.9%) and 18 years for women (12.7%), reducing to 4.3% for men and 5.4% for women at age 30 years. For all ages over 9 years, the prevalence of DKA was higher in female individuals. CONCLUSIONS HbA1c and the prevalence of DKA increase through adolescence and then decline. Measurement of HbA1c, a marker of clinical review, falls abruptly in the late teenage years. Age-appropriate services are needed to overcome these issues.

Abstract
Blood glucose level prediction is a critical aspect of diabetes management. It enables individuals to make informed decisions about their insulin dosing, diet, and physical activity. This, in turn, improves their quality of life and reduces the risk of chronic and acute complications. One conundrum in developing time-series forecasting models for blood glucose level prediction is to determine an appropriate length for look-back windows. On the one hand, studying short histories foists the risk of information incompletion. On the other hand, analysing long histories might induce information redundancy due to the data shift phenomenon. Additionally, optimal lag lengths are inconsistent across individuals because of the domain shift occurrence. Therefore, in bespoke analysis, either optimal lag values should be found for each individual separately or a globally suboptimal lag value should be used for all. The former approach degenerates the analysis's congruency and imposes extra perplexity. With the latter, the fine-tunned lag is not necessarily the optimum option for all individuals. To cope with this challenge, this work suggests an interconnected lag fusion framework based on nested meta-learning analysis that improves the accuracy and precision of predictions for personalised blood glucose level forecasting. The proposed framework is leveraged to generate blood glucose prediction models for patients with type 1 diabetes by scrutinising two well-established publicly available Ohio type 1 diabetes datasets. The models developed undergo vigorous evaluation and statistical analysis from mathematical and clinical perspectives. The results achieved underpin the efficacy of the proposed method in blood glucose level time-series prediction analysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To establish if the CT dataset acquired during the stress element of myocardial perfusion imaging can be fused to the subsequent rest scan to reduce radiation doses from these procedures. METHODS 86 rest scans were processed and evaluated using a self-designed project specific tool. Recording processing time, the time between the two data sets selected for fusion and assessing radiographic reports to ensure produced images were of diagnostic quality. RESULTS 70% of fused scans were acquired 6-7 days apart; the mean (SD) processing time was calculated as 2.03 (0.36) minutes. The Pearson's correlation between these two variables was determined to be 0.22, showing a slight positive correlation although not statistically significant. 100% of the images produced were of diagnostic quality. CONCLUSION Rest scans can be fused to a previously acquired CT, careful consideration should be given when positioning the patient and to the time interval between acquiring the two data sets, departmental guidelines can assist with this. Staff training may also be beneficial to ensure staff can assess if data sets are fusible prior to completing a scan. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This data provides evidence that retrospective fusion can reduce patient radiation doses in myocardial perfusion imaging without compromising diagnostic outcomes. Dose optimisation is an essential part of the ionising radiation (medical exposure) regulations therefore retrospective fusion should be considered in practice to ensure departmental compliance, although it is noteworthy this study is solely based in a single centred one camera department.

Abstract
Effective control of blood glucose level (BGL) is the key factor in the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). BGL prediction is an important tool to help maximise the time BGL is in the target range and thus minimise both acute and chronic diabetes-related complications. To predict future BGL, histories of variables known to affect BGL, such as carbohydrate intake, injected bolus insulin, and physical activity, are utilised. Due to these identified cause and effect relationships, T1D management can be examined via the causality context. In this respect, this work initially investigates these relations and quantifies the causality strengths of each variable with BGL using the convergent cross mapping method (CCM). Then, considering the extended CCM, the causality strengths of each variable for different lags are quantified. After that, the optimal time lag for each variable is determined according to the quantified causality effects. Subsequently, the feasibility of leveraging causality information as prior knowledge for BGL prediction is investigated by proposing two approaches. In the first approach, causality strengths are used as weights for relevant affecting variables. In the second approach, the optimal causal lags and the corresponding causality strengths are considered the shifts and weights for the variables, respectively. Overall, the evaluation criteria and statistical analysis used for comparing results show the effectiveness of using causality analysis in T1D management.

Abstract
AIMS To examine real-world capillary blood glucose (CBG) data according to HbA1c to define proportions of CBG readings at different HbA1c levels, and evaluate patterns in CBG measurements to suggest areas to focus on with regard to self-management. METHODS A retrospective analysis stratified 682 adults with type 1 diabetes split into quartiles based on their HbA1c . The proportions of results in different CBG ranges and associations with HbA1c were evaluated. Patterns in readings following episodes of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia were examined, using glucose to next glucose reading table (G2G). RESULTS CBG readings in the target range (3.9-10 mmol/L) increase by ~10% across each CBG quartile (31% in the highest versus 63% in the lowest quartile, p < 0.05). The novel G2G table helps the treatment-based interpretation of data. Hypoglycaemia is often preceded by hyperglycaemia, and vice-versa, and is twice as likely in the highest HbA1c quartile. Re-testing within 30 min of hypoglycaemia is associated with less hypoglycaemia, 1.6% versus 7.2%, p < 0.001, and also reduces subsequent hyperglycaemia and further hypoglycaemia in the proceeding 24 h. The coefficient of variation, but not standard deviation, is highly associated with hypoglycaemia, r = 0.71, and a CV ≤ 36% equates to 3.3% of CBG readings in the hypoglycaemic range. CONCLUSIONS HbA1c <58 mmol/mol (7.5%) is achievable even when only ~60% of CBG readings are between 3.9-10 mmol/L. Examining readings subsequent to out-of-range readings suggests useful behaviours which people with type 1 diabetes could be supported to adhere to, both in a clinic and structured education programmes, thereby decreasing the risk of hypoglycaemia whilst also reducing hyperglycaemia and improving HbA1c .

Abstract
A chemiluminescent immunoassay is commonly employed to measure adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) concentrations to assist pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction diagnosis. In a previous study, seasonally-dependent assay cross-reactivity to endogenous equine corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP, ACTH 18-39) was suspected. The present study aimed to demonstrate binding of endogenous equine CLIP to the capture antibody of the ACTH chemiluminescent immunoassay. Liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LCMS) methods were optimised to identify selected ions from synthetic human ACTH, α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH, ACTH 1-17) and CLIP. Synthetic ACTH and CLIP bound to the capture antibody of the chemiluminescent ACTH assay, but α-MSH did not. Equine endogenous CLIP was detected by LCMS in pony plasma taken in the autumn and could be eluted from the capture antibody of the ACTH chemiluminescent immunoassay. Further research is required to enable quantification of CLIP. Equine CLIP may alter measured ACTH concentrations in vivo.

Abstract
Background Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse consequence of treating diabetes, and is often due to suboptimal patient self-care. Behavioral interventions by health professionals and self-care education helps avoid recurrent hypoglycemic episodes by targeting problematic patient behaviors. This relies on time-consuming investigation of reasons behind the observed episodes, which involves manual interpretation of personal diabetes diaries and communication with patients. Therefore, there is a clear motivation to automate this process using a supervised machine learning paradigm. This manuscript presents a feasibility study of automatic identification of hypoglycemia causes. Methods Reasons for 1885 hypoglycemia events were labeled by 54 participants with type 1 diabetes over a 21 months period. A broad range of possible predictors were extracted describing a hypoglycemic episode and the subject's general self-care from participants' routinely collected data on the Glucollector, their diabetes management platform. Thereafter, the possible hypoglycemia reasons were categorized for two major analysis sections - statistical analysis of relationships between the data features of self-care and hypoglycemia reasons, and classification analysis investigating the design of an automated system to determine the reason for hypoglycemia. Results Physical activity contributed to 45% of hypoglycemia reasons on the real world collected data. The statistical analysis provided a number of interpretable predictors of different hypoglycemia reasons based on self-care behaviors. The classification analysis showed the performance of a reasoning system in practical settings with different objectives under F1-score, recall and precision metrics. Conclusion The data acquisition characterized the incidence distribution of the various hypoglycemia reasons. The analyses highlighted many interpretable predictors of the various hypoglycemia types. Also, the feasibility study presented a number of concerns valuable in the design of the decision support system for automatic hypoglycemia reason classification. Therefore, automating the identification of the causes of hypoglycemia may help objectively to target behavioral and therapeutic changes in patients' care.

Abstract
People with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at elevated risk of in-hospital mortality from coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). This vulnerability has spurred efforts to pinpoint distinctive characteristics of COVID-19 patients with DM. In this context, the present article develops ML models equipped with interpretation modules for inpatient mortality risk assessments of COVID-19 patients with DM. To this end, a cohort of 156 hospitalised COVID-19 patients with pre-existing DM is studied. For creating risk assessment platforms, this work explores a pool of historical, on-admission, and during-admission data that are DM-related or, according to preliminary investigations, are exclusively attributed to the COVID-19 susceptibility of DM patients. First, a set of careful pre-modelling steps are executed on the clinical data, including cleaning, pre-processing, subdivision, and feature elimination. Subsequently, standard machine learning (ML) modelling analysis is performed on the cured data. Initially, a classifier is tasked with forecasting COVID-19 fatality from selected features. The model undergoes thorough evaluation analysis. The results achieved substantiate the efficacy of the undertaken data curation and modelling steps. Afterwards, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) technique is assigned to interpret the generated mortality risk prediction model by rating the predictors' global and local influence on the model's outputs. These interpretations advance the comprehensibility of the analysis by explaining the formation of outcomes and, in this way, foster the adoption of the proposed methodologies. Next, a clustering algorithm demarcates patients into four separate groups based on their SHAP values, providing a practical risk stratification method. Finally, a re-evaluation analysis is performed to verify the robustness of the proposed framework.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratifying risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery allows clinicians to modify risk through targeted interventions and enhanced monitoring. In this study, we aimed to identify and validate prognostic models against a new consensus definition of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS We did a systematic review and international external validation cohort study. The systematic review was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on March 1, 2020, for articles published in English that reported on risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. External validation of existing models was done within a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery. Data were collected between Jan 1, 2019, and April 30, 2019, in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy summary statistics were compared between models for the 30-day postoperative pulmonary complication rate as defined by the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC). Model performance was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCC). FINDINGS In total, we identified 2903 records from our literature search; of which, 2514 (86·6%) unique records were screened, 121 (4·8%) of 2514 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 29 unique prognostic models were identified. Nine (31·0%) of 29 models had score development reported only, 19 (65·5%) had undergone internal validation, and only four (13·8%) had been externally validated. Data to validate six eligible models were collected in the international external validation cohort study. Data from 11 591 patients were available, with an overall postoperative pulmonary complication rate of 7·8% (n=903). None of the six models showed good discrimination (defined as AUROCC ≥0·70) for identifying postoperative pulmonary complications, with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score showing the best discrimination (AUROCC 0·700 [95% CI 0·683-0·717]). INTERPRETATION In the pre-COVID-19 pandemic data, variability in the risk of pulmonary complications (StEP-COMPAC definition) following major abdominal surgery was poorly described by existing prognostication tools. To improve surgical safety during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond, novel risk stratification tools are required. FUNDING British Journal of Surgery Society.

Abstract
This research develops machine learning models equipped with interpretation modules for mortality risk prediction and stratification in cohorts of hospitalised coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). To this end, routinely collected clinical data from 156 COVID-19 patients with DM and 349 COVID-19 patients without DM were scrutinised. First, a random forest classifier forecasted in-hospital COVID-19 fatality utilising admission data for each cohort. For the DM cohort, the model predicted mortality risk with the accuracy of 82%, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 80%, sensitivity of 80%, and specificity of 56%. For the non-DM cohort, the achieved accuracy, AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 80%, 84%, 91%, and 56%, respectively. The models were then interpreted using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), which explained predictors’ global and local influences on model outputs. Finally, the k-means algorithm was applied to cluster patients on their SHAP values. The algorithm demarcated patients into three clusters. Average mortality rates within the generated clusters were 8%, 20%, and 76% for the DM cohort, 2.7%, 28%, and 41.9% for the non-DM cohort, providing a functional method of risk stratification.

Abstract
AIMS This review considers the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on access to interventions for those living with type 1 diabetes and discusses the solutions which have been considered and actioned to ensure ongoing access care. METHODS We performed a focussed review of the published literature, and the guidelines for changes that have been effected during the pandemic. We also drew from expert recommendations and information about local practice changes for areas where formal data have not been published. RESULTS Evidence based interventions which support the achievement of improved glucose levels and/or reduction in hypoglycaemia include group structured education to support self-management, insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had impacted the ability of diabetes services to deliver these intervention. Multiple adaptations have been put in place - transition to online delivery of education and care, and usage of diabetes technology. CONCLUSIONS Although various adaptations have been made during the pandemic that have positively influenced uptake of services, there are many areas of delivery that need immediate improvement in the UK. We recommend a proactive approach in recognising the digital divide and inequity in distribution of these changes and we recommend introducing measures to reduce them.

Abstract
Optimal and sustainable control of blood glucose levels (BGLs) is the aim of type-1 diabetes management. The automated prediction of BGL using machine learning (ML) algorithms is considered as a promising tool that can support this aim. In this context, this paper proposes new advanced ML architectures to predict BGL leveraging deep learning and ensemble learning. The deep-ensemble models are developed with novel meta-learning approaches, where the feasibility of changing the dimension of a univariate time series forecasting task is investigated. The models are evaluated regression-wise and clinical-wise. The performance of the proposed ensemble models are compared with benchmark non-ensemble models. The results show the superior performance of the developed ensemble models over developed non-ensemble benchmark models and also show the efficacy of the proposed meta-learning approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study presents the reflective account of a large-scale radiographic survey of medieval and post-medieval long bones from St Albans, United Kingdom. As a practicing diagnostic radiographer and archaeologist, the author sought to apply experiential learning to generate recommendations for archaeological and forensic radiography practice. The purpose of the imaging was to identify Harris lines for biological stress, however this reflective piece concerns the adaptation of clinical radiographic technique for human dry bones. METHODS Imaging took place over five sessions in early 2021 with the assistance of an osteoarchaeologist. Radiography followed standard clinical views (anterior-posterior and medio-lateral) of femora, humeri, radii and tibiae using a digital radiography system. A workplace diary was used to record challenges, solutions and musings related to radiographic technique. The Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper reflective model was applied to collate and present findings. RESULTS A total of 502 radiographs of 426 long bones (92 individuals) were acquired. A multidisciplinary team was found to be essential for correct identification of anatomy, laterality and orientation of remains during the survey. Anterior-posterior views were easiest to achieve, with medio-lateral imaging requiring considerably more effort. Radiolucent sponge supports were necessary, although fragmented remains were often impossible to position accurately. Hands-on experience of human bones improved the author's knowledge and confidence with osteology. CONCLUSION Although limited to selective long bones of archaeological context and personal experience, the findings of this study have direct applications for forensic radiography practice. This includes use of a multidisciplinary team, robust workflow with integrated failsafe checks, consistent imaging approach and the application of radiolucent sponge supports. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Recommendations within this study may contribute towards a comprehensive guide for radiographic technique for human dry bones.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
His bundle pacing (HBP) aims to deliver physiological activation of the ventricles via the native His-Purkinje conduction system. A challenge of HBP is the limited market of implantation tools, pacing leads and specifically designed pacing algorithms.
Purpose
Over the last three years both Medtronic (MDT) and Boston Scientific (BSC) generators have been used for HBP in a large tertiary centre. We examined whether there was any difference between lead parameters and battery longevity depending on the type of manufacturer used.
Methods
Patients implanted with a MDT Select Secure model 3830 lead were included in this retrospective study. Data collected included HBP thresholds (analysed at 1ms pulse width) at implant and at the most recent device check, HBP percentages and battery longevity (months). Battery longevity were calculated by adding duration of follow up and estimated battery life at last follow up.
Results
A total of 31 patients were included for data analysis (58% male and mean age 72 years). 18 patients had MDT generators of which 3 were PPMs, 5 were CRT-Ps and 10 were CRT-Ds. 13 patients had BSC generators of which 5 were PPMs, 5 were CRT-Ps and 3 were CRT-Ds. Mean follow up of the cohort was 12.7±9.02 months.
Mean HBP percentages were 77±37% and 72.2±42.1% for MDT and BSC, respectively (p=0.430). Mean HBP threshold (Volts) at implant was significantly lower with BSC vs MDT (0.85±0.58 vs 1.84±1.06, p=0.01), and similar after follow up (1.01±0.91 vs 1.32±0.73, p=NS). There were no statistically significant differences between mean HBP threshold at implant compared to follow up for both manufacturers.
Interestingly, mean battery longevity for BSC vs MDT generators was significantly higher (136±29.3 vs 90.5±29.1, p<0.001). Longevity was also compared for PPM/CRT-P and CRT-D separately. For PPM/CRT-P, BSC generators had significantly higher longevity as compared to MDT (141.6±33.1 vs 91.6±34.5, p=0.009). This difference was not observed for CRT-Ds between the 2 manufacturers (p=0.068).
Conclusion
Our results suggest HBP with MDT Select Secure 3830 lead is feasible with BSC generators. There is potentially greater battery longevity with BSC compared to MDT generators. Further studies are needed with greater numbers and longer follow up to confirm this finding.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined as an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. AVM of the breast is a rare clinical entity, with limited evidence to guide management. We present the case of a congenital AVM of the breast in an otherwise healthy woman, with an interesting presenting complaint.
Case Description
A 38-year-old female presented with a ‘buzzing’ sensation and mastalgia in her left breast. Examination revealed a visible pulsatile linear abnormality with a bruit on auscultation. Duplex ultrasonography demonstrated mixing of the arterial and venous flow, consistent with an AVM. Operative management entailed ultrasound guided identification, ligation and excision of all aneurysmal segments. Histopathologic evaluation demonstrated an AVM with no malignant features. At one year postoperatively, the patient reported complete symptom resolution. Literature review identified nine case reports, including two cases of congenital breast AVM, both treated surgically. Seven cases of iatrogenic AVM were identified, with diagnosis based on duplex ultrasonography and management by surgical ligation in all except one, which resolved spontaneously.
Conclusions
ongenital AVM of the breast is a rare clinical entity. Diagnosis can be established using duplex ultrasonography, while CT and MRI may be useful for preoperative planning. Endovascular management alone is associated with high recurrence rates and surgical excision is the favoured approach where technically feasible without major aesthetic or functional compromise.

Abstract
AIMS To create and compare survival models from admission laboratory indices in people hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with and without diabetes. METHODS Retrospective observational study of patients with COVID-19 with or without diabetes admitted to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals from 29 February to 01 May 2020. Predictive variables for in-hospital mortality from COVID-19 were explored using Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS Out of 505 patients, 156 (30.8%) had diabetes mellitus (DM) of which 143 (91.7%) had type 2 diabetes. There were significantly higher in-hospital COVID-19 deaths in those with DM [DM COVID-19 deaths 54 (34.6%) vs. non-DM COVID-19 deaths 88 (25.2%): P < 0.05]. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APPT) > 24 s without anticoagulants (HR 6.38, 95% CI: 1.07-37.87: P = 0.04), APTT > 24 s with anticoagulants (HR 24.01, 95% CI: 3.63-159.01: P < 0.001), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio > 8 (HR 6.18, 95% CI: 2.36-16.16: P < 0.001), and sodium > 136 mmol/L (HR 3.27, 95% CI: 1.12-9.56: P = 0.03) at admission, were only associated with in-hospital COVID-19 mortality for those with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS At admission, elevated APTT with or without anticoagulants, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and serum sodium are unique factors that predict in-hospital COVID-19 mortality in patients with diabetes compared to those without. This novel finding may lead to research into haematological and biochemical mechanisms to understand why those with diabetes are more susceptible to poor outcomes when infected with Covid-19, and contribute to identification of those most at risk when admitted to hospital.

Abstract
Background Vestibular syndrome is often accompanied by nausea. Drugs currently approved for its treatment have been developed to stop vomiting but not nausea. The efficacy of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists to reduce nausea has been described for chemotherapy, but not for nausea secondary to vestibular disorders. Methods Sixteen dogs with vestibular syndrome-associated nausea were included in the open-label, multicentre study. The intensity of nausea-like behaviour was analysed before ondansetron administration (0.5 mg/kg i.v.) and 2 h afterwards, using a validated 5-point-scale. The occurrence and frequency of salivation, lip licking, restlessness, vocalisation, lethargy, and vomiting were assessed. Results All dogs initially showed signs of nausea, whereas only 31% showed vomitus. The intensity of nausea was significantly reduced in all dogs (p ≤ 0.0001) 2 h after ondansetron administration, including the clinical signs of nausea analysed in 11 dogs (salivation [p = 0.0078], lip licking [p = 0.0078], restlessness [p = 0.0039], and lethargy [p = 0.0078]) except for vocalisation (p > 0.9999). Conclusions The results provide preliminary evidence of the potential benefit of ondansetron in the treatment of nausea, which was present in all examined dogs. Vomiting was only observed in 5 dogs indicating that nausea can occur separately and should not be perceived only as a preceding stimulation of the vomiting centre.

Abstract
Introduction: Evidence from phase III and the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trials have demonstrated improvements in renal endpoints with empagliflozin use. The EMPA-KIDNEY trial is currently underway and is assessing whether there are benefits of empagliflozin in improving renal outcomes in people both with and without diabetes, and the mechanism has been suggested to be similar to that of ACE inhibitors with the haemodynamic effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibition reducing intraglomerular pressure.Aim: To assess the impacts of empagliflozin use on albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in a real-world UK-based audit.Methods: Data were collated via the ABCD nationwide audit programme, with analyses performed using either t-tests/ ANOVA or Wilcoxon signed rank/Kruskal–Wallis tests. Pre-specified stratified subgroup analyses by baseline eGFR and baseline albuminuria levels were also performed.Results: Our results demonstrated significant reductions in albuminuria across the population as a whole. When stratified by baseline albuminuria levels, those with microalbuminuria (30–300 μg/mg) or macroalbuminuria (>300 μg/mg) had significant improvements in urine albumin levels at 6-month (3–9-month) follow-up, with median changes of −17.7 μg/mg (p<0.0001; 95% CI −17.4 to −23.7) and 379.4 μg/mg (p=0.03; 95% CI −269.9 to −725.4), respectively. Across the population as a whole, eGFR reduced initially (at 6 months, −1.26 mL/min/1.73 m3; p<0.0001; 95% CI −0.87 to −1.64) before recovering to baseline by 24 months. When stratified by baseline eGFR, those with reduced renal function (eGFR <90) recovered quickest, with improvements in eGFR noted from baseline by 24 months.Conclusion: In this real-world analysis, the results are comparable to those in randomised controlled trials and are likely more generalisable to UK clinical practice. Unfortunately, we do not have clinical endpoints such as end-stage renal failure, renal death or dialysis as part of our dataset. Future audits could consider including these data to establish clinical as well as biochemical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine whether associations between disease severity and packed cell volume exist in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were selected from 289 dogs that had been examined at a research clinic (2004-2017) on multiple occasions (n=1465). American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine stage and echocardiographic measurements were entered in separate multivariable linear mixed effects models with packed cell volume as the dependent variable. Age, breed, sex, weight and blood urea nitrogen concentrations were additionally tested in these analyses to control for patient characteristics. RESULTS Packed cell volume (% whole blood) in stages B1 and B2 (B1: 42.62 ±0.27, P=0.001; B2: 41.77± 0.42, P < 0.001) was lower than stage A (44.57 ±0.53). In stage C, packed cell volume was greater than both preclinical stages (C: 43.84 ±0.46). When the administration of loop diuretics was included in statistical models, packed cell volume was inversely related to normalised left ventricular internal diameters (β: -2.37; 95% confidence intervals: -3.49, -1.25; P < 0.001). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease may develop reductions in packed cell volume as their disease progresses. Although this finding was statistically significant at a population level, it should be noted that the differences described are relatively small. This, along with other causes of variation in packed cell volume, means that changes would be challenging to appreciate within individual patients. Plasma volume depletion following diuretic administration may explain why findings differed in stage C.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The successful treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires those affected to employ insulin therapy to maintain their blood glucose levels as close to normal to avoid complications in the long-term. The Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) intervention is a group education course designed to help adults with T1D develop and sustain the complex self-management skills needed to adjust insulin in everyday life. It leads to improved glucose levels in the short term (manifest by falls in glycated haemoglobin, HbA1c), reduced rates of hypoglycaemia and sustained improvements in quality of life but overall glucose levels remain well above national targets. The DAFNEplus intervention is a development of DAFNE designed to incorporate behavioural change techniques, technology and longer-term structured support from healthcare professionals (HCPs). METHODS AND ANALYSIS A pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial in adults with T1D, delivered in diabetes centres in National Health Service secondary care hospitals in the UK. Centres will be randomised on a 1:1 basis to standard DAFNE or DAFNEplus. Primary clinical outcome is the change in HbA1c and the primary endpoint is HbA1c at 12 months, in those entering the trial with HbA1c >7.5% (58 mmol/mol), and HbA1c at 6 months is the secondary endpoint. Sample size is 662 participants (approximately 47 per centre); 92% power to detect a 0.5% difference in the primary outcome of HbA1c between treatment groups. The trial also measures rates of hypoglycaemia, psychological outcomes, an economic evaluation and process evaluation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was granted by South West-Exeter Research Ethics Committee (REC ref: 18/SW/0100) on 14 May 2018. The results of the trial will be published in a National Institute for Health Research monograph and relevant high-impact journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN42908016.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with development of hyperphosphataemia. Severity of renal fibrosis has been correlated with degree of hyperphosphataemia. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a major pro-fibrotic mediator in CKD. A phosphate restricted diet did not affect urinary active TGF-β1 excretion in cats. Increased extracellular phosphate had no pro-fibrotic effect on feline renal cells.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in geriatric cats, and is characterised in the majority of cases by tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis. Hyperphosphataemia is a frequent complication of CKD and is independently associated with severity of renal fibrosis and disease progression. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) signalling is thought to be a convergent pathway which mediates the progression of renal fibrosis in CKD. The aims of this study were to explore the interaction between increased extracellular phosphate and the TGF-β1 signalling pathway by investigating: (a) the effect of a commercially available, phosphate-restricted, diet on urinary TGF-β1 excretion in cats with CKD; and (b) the role of increased extracellular phosphate in regulating proliferation, apoptosis, and expression of genes related to TGF-β1 signalling and extracellular matrix (ECM) production in feline proximal tubular epithelial cells (FPTEC) and cortical fibroblasts from cats with azotaemic CKD (CKD-FCF). The dietary intervention study revealed no effect of dietary phosphate restriction on urinary active TGF-β1 excretion after 4–8 weeks (P = 0.98), despite significantly decreasing serum phosphate (P < 0.001). There was no effect of increased growth media phosphate concentration (from 0.95 mM to 2 mM and 3.5 mM) on proliferation (P = 0.99) and apoptotic activity in FPTEC (P = 0.22), or expression of genes related to ECM production and the TGF-β1 signalling pathway in FPTEC and CKD-FCF (P > 0.05). These findings suggest the beneficial effects of dietary phosphate restriction on progression of feline CKD may not occur through modulation of renal TGF-β1 production, and do not support a direct pro-fibrotic effect of increased extracellular phosphate on feline renal cells.

Abstract
Within clinical small animal practice, diagnosis of both chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury is common. To assess renal function, measurement of glomerular filtration rate is considered the gold standard. Currently, routine tests of kidney function include surrogate markers of glomerular filtration rate such as serum creatinine, and urea, each with their own limitations, whilst urine protein to creatinine ratio gives an indication of glomerular and tubular handling of protein, and urine specific gravity information about urine concentrating ability by the kidney. These parameters are used together with historical and physical examination data to give a diagnosis of kidney disease following which creatinine, proteinuria and blood pressure are used to stage chronic kidney disease and, together with urine output, grade acute kidney injury according to the International Renal Interest Society. However, there has been much concern that creatinine is insensitive when used to indicate early decline in renal function and this has highlighted the need for additional methods of diagnosing and monitoring these patients, with the potential to allow earlier therapeutic intervention. Symmetric dimethylarginine is a novel biomarker, which has been shown to perform as a surrogate marker of glomerular filtration rate in small animals. This article will review current research on symmetric dimethylarginine and the ways in which it may be utilised in small animal practice; current research supports the use of symmetric dimethylarginine as a screening test for detection of early chronic kidney disease according to International Renal Interest Society guidelines, but further research is required in to the usefulness of symmetric dimethylarginine as a tool for monitoring disease and the effect of non-renal influences.

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
OBJECTIVES To summarise the clinical presentation and outcomes in a series of miniature schnauzers diagnosed with histiocytic sarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of medical records of miniature schnauzers diagnosed with histiocytic sarcoma between 2008 and 2019 at two referral centres in the UK. Signalment, clinical signs at initial presentation, imaging results and clinico- and histopathological findings, treatment type and outcome were recorded. Progression-free survival and overall survival time were calculated. RESULTS Thirty dogs were included. Twenty-four of 29 dogs undergoing imaging of the thorax had lung and/or mediastinal involvement. The median overall survival time for dogs that were not euthanased within 3 days of diagnosis was 117 days (range 10 to 790). Three dogs underwent surgery; 13 received treatment with lomustine as a sole therapy - with partial responses documented on imaging in five of six dogs and 11 of 13 showing clinical improvement. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Histiocytic sarcoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis for miniature schnauzers with pulmonary masses. Although responses to treatment were common, they were usually short-lived because of the aggressive nature of the disease.

Abstract
The last 20 years have witnessed a marked change in approaches to the management of type 1 diabetes in the UK. This is exemplified by National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance which acknowledges that reaching and maintaining target glucose depends on people with type 1 diabetes effectively implementing flexible intensive insulin therapy. The guidance emphasizes that successful self-management requires the acquisition of complex skills and is best achieved by participation in high-quality structured education. Controlled trials and other research have shown that programmes teaching self-management can lower glucose levels while reducing hypoglycaemia, improve psychological outcomes and are highly cost-effective. An important principle of successful programmes is therapeutic education in which learning becomes a partnership between the professional and the person with diabetes who learns to fit diabetes into his/her everyday life. Other recommended elements of programmes include a written curriculum, group teaching by a professional multidisciplinary team and quality assurance. Yet many participants struggle post-course to implement and maintain skills, and overall HbA1c levels, particularly in the UK, remain far from target. Recent studies have identified the barriers to sustained effective self-management and concluded that even high-quality programmes generally lack critical components. These include incorporating evidence from behaviour change research, exploiting the promise of new technologies in reducing the burden of self-management, and providing structured professional support once people have completed the training. Studies are currently underway to evaluate structured training courses which have added these elements and examine whether they can lower glucose to levels closer to target without impairing quality of life.

Abstract
Background The Health And Self-Management In Diabetes (HASMIDv1) questionnaire consists of 8 attributes, 4 about quality of life, and 4 about self-management. The overall aim of this study was to rigorously examine the psychometric properties of the HASMIDv1 questionnaire. Methods The study comprised two phases. Phase 1 identified items of the HASMIDv1 questionnaire that potentially required rewording through consultation with a patient involvement panel and two focus groups of people with diabetes. Phase 2 involved a cross-sectional longitudinal survey where HASMID, EQ-5D-5L, health, treatment and sociodemographic questions were administered using both paper and online versions to people with diabetes. Participants were asked to complete the survey again approximately 3 months later. Psychometric analyses were undertaken to examine floor and ceiling effects, item distributions, known group differences and internal consistency. Rasch analysis was undertaken to assess differential item functioning and disordered thresholds. Results Phase 1 derived five alternative wordings to items: Irritable, Affects Mealtimes, Daily Routine, Social Activities and Problem. Phase 2 achieved 2835 responses at time point 1 (n = 1944 online, n = 891 paper version) and 1243 at time point 2 (n = 533 online, n = 710 paper version). Overall the HASMID items performed well, though two alternative worded items (Irritable and Social Activities) provided additional information not fully captured by the original HASMID items. Conclusion Psychometric evaluation and Rasch analysis were used in conjunction with expert opinion to determine the final questionnaire. The application of psychometric analyses or Rasch analysis alone to inform item selection would have resulted in different items being selected for the final instrument. The benefit of a combined approach has produced an instrument which has a broader evaluation of self-management. The final validated HASMID-10 is a short self-report PRO that can be used to evaluate the impact of self-management for people living with diabetes. HASMID-10 can be scored using total summative scores, with utility and monetary values also available for use in cost-utility and cost-benefit analyses.

Abstract
In type 1 diabetes, diurnal activity routines are influential factors in insulin dose calculations. Bolus advisors have been developed to more accurately suggest doses of meal-related insulin based on carbohydrate intake, according to pre-set insulin to carbohydrate levels and insulin sensitivity factors. These parameters can be varied according to the time of day and their optimal setting relies on identifying the daily time periods of routines accurately. The main issues with reporting and adjustments of daily activity routines are the reliance on self-reporting which is prone to inaccuracy and within bolus calculators, the keeping of default settings for daily time periods, such as within insulin pumps, glucose meters, and mobile applications. Moreover, daily routines are subject to change over periods of time which could go unnoticed. Hence, forgetting to change the daily time periods in the bolus calculator could contribute to sub-optimal self-management. In this paper, these issues are addressed by proposing a data-driven model for identification of diabetes diurnal patterns based on self-monitoring data. The model uses time-series clustering to achieve a meaningful separation of the patterns which is then used to identify the daily time periods and to advise of any time changes required. Further improvements in bolus advisor settings are proposed to include week/weekend or even modifiable daily time settings. The proposed model provides a quick, granular, more accurate, and personalized daily time setting profile while providing a more contextual perspective to glycemic pattern identification to both patients and clinicians.

Abstract
[Formula: see text] is a primary marker of long-term average blood glucose, which is an essential measure of successful control in type 1 diabetes. Previous studies have shown that [Formula: see text] estimates can be obtained from 5-12 weeks of daily blood glucose measurements. However, these methods suffer from accuracy limitations when applied to incomplete data with missing periods of measurements. The aim of this article is to overcome these limitations improving the accuracy and robustness of [Formula: see text] prediction from time series of blood glucose. A novel data-driven [Formula: see text] prediction model based on deep learning and convolutional neural networks is presented. The model focuses on the extraction of behavioral patterns from sequences of self-monitored blood glucose readings on various temporal scales. Assuming that subjects who share behavioral patterns have also similar capabilities for diabetes control and resulting [Formula: see text], it becomes possible to infer the [Formula: see text] of subjects with incomplete data from multiple observations of similar behaviors. Trained and validated on a dataset, containing 1543 real world observation epochs from 759 subjects, the model has achieved the mean absolute error of 4.80 [Formula: see text] mmol/mol, median absolute error of 3.81 [Formula: see text] mmol/mol and [Formula: see text] of 0.71 ± 0.09 on average during the 10 fold cross validation. Automatic behavioral characterization via extraction of sequential features by the proposed convolutional neural network structure has significantly improved the accuracy of [Formula: see text] prediction compared to the existing methods.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgery (oesophagectomy), with neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy, is the main curative treatment for patients with oesophageal cancer. Several surgical approaches can be used to remove an oesophageal tumour. The Ivor Lewis (two-phase procedure) is usually used in the UK. This can be performed as an open oesophagectomy (OO), a laparoscopically assisted oesophagectomy (LAO) or a totally minimally invasive oesophagectomy (TMIO). All three are performed in the National Health Service, with LAO and OO the most common. However, there is limited evidence about which surgical approach is best for patients in terms of survival and postoperative health-related quality of life. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will undertake a UK multicentre randomised controlled trial to compare LAO with OO in adult patients with oesophageal cancer. The primary outcome is patient-reported physical function at 3 and 6 weeks postoperatively and 3 months after randomisation. Secondary outcomes include: postoperative complications, survival, disease recurrence, other measures of quality of life, spirometry, success of patient blinding and quality assurance measures. A cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed comparing LAO with OO. We will embed a randomised substudy to evaluate the safety and evolution of the TMIO procedure and a qualitative recruitment intervention to optimise patient recruitment. We will analyse the primary outcome using a multi-level regression model. Patients will be monitored for up to 3 years after their surgery. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study received ethical approval from the South-West Franchay Research Ethics Committee. We will submit the results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN10386621.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate a 5-day self-management education course for young people with Type 1 diabetes and assess its effects on knowledge, self-efficacy, beliefs, distress, self-management behaviours and HbA1c . METHODS This is an evaluation of a structured education course. Young people (aged 16-24 years) with Type 1 diabetes were recruited from three diabetes centres. In the first centre, participants completed self-report measures of knowledge, self-efficacy, positive and negative outcome expectancies, and hypoglycaemic worries at baseline (n=47) and the end of the course (n=42). In two additional centres, participants completed these and other measures assessing self-management behaviours, cognitive adaptation to diabetes and diabetes distress at baseline (n=32), the end of the course (n=27) and 3-month follow-up (n = 27). HbA1c levels were recorded at baseline (n=79), 6 months (n=77) and 12 months (n=65). RESULTS There were statistically significant increases in self-report knowledge, self-efficacy, positive outcome expectancies and self-management behaviours, and a statistically significant decrease in negative outcome expectances, between baseline and the end of the course. There were also statistically significant increases in self-report knowledge, self-efficacy, self-management behaviours and cognitive adaptation to diabetes between baseline and 3-month follow-up. Compared with baseline, HbA1c levels decreased by a mean (sd) of 5.44 (19.93) mmol/mol (0.48%) at 6 months (P=0.019), and by 5.98 (23.32) mmol/mol (0.54%) at 12 months (P =0.043). DISCUSSION The results indicate the potential benefits of a self-management course designed to address the developmental needs and challenges faced by young people with Type 1 diabetes. Further studies with larger numbers and appropriate controls are required to confirm these initial findings.

Abstract
The Crandell-Rees Feline Kidney Cell (CRFK) is an immortalised cell line derived from the feline kidney that is utilised for the growth of certain vaccinal viruses. Confusion exists as to whether CRFK are epithelial or mesenchymal in phenotype. The aim of this study was to characterise CRFK cells via immunofluorescence, enzyme cytochemistry, western blotting, RT-qPCR for S100A4 and comparison to primary feline proximal tubular epithelial cells (FPTEC) and feline cortical fibroblasts (FCF). CRFK cells were of fusiform morphology and appeared similar to FCF. CRFK expressed the mesenchymal intermediate filament (IF) protein vimentin together with two cell adhesion molecules associated with feline fibroblasts (CD29 and CD44), and lacked expression of the epithelial IF cytokeratin, myogenic IF desmin and endothelial marker von Willebrand factor (vWF). In addition, CRFK did not demonstrate brush border enzyme activity typical of FPTEC. S100A4 gene expression, implicated in both neoplastic transformation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition, was highly upregulated in CRFK in comparison to the primary feline renal cells. CRFK appear phenotypically similar to fibroblasts, rather than tubular epithelial cells, and may have undergone neoplastic transformation or epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition after extensive passaging. This finding may have potential implications for future research utilising this cell line.

Abstract
We utilise Bury's (1982) biographical disruption to examine young people's experiences of type 1 diabetes. Our findings show that young adults adopted various 'subject positions' across different illness contexts. The subject positions deployed are intended to produce a particular kind of normal embodied identity unaffected by diabetes. First, participants concealed their illness in public spaces and challenged cultural stereotypes of diabetes to maintain a normal illness biography. Disruption was ever present and required careful negotiation to avoid exposure of illness in public. Young adults upheld a 'normal public presentation'. Second, they resisted the medical system's pressure to adhere to glucose targets asserting and maintaining a subject position of 'independent and autonomous young adults'. Here, disruption was transient and temporary, present in the clinic but not always beyond. It remained in the background for much of the time until it was reinforced by parents or at meal times. Third, young adults acquired a 'pragmatic subject position' with diabetes viewed as complex but manageable, no longer a target for resistance. Frank's (1995) 'narrative restitution' is adopted to describe the transition to life with 'normal' illness. We argue that illness experience was 'liminal' and reflected the subject positions adopted by young adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examines the impact of data collection method on the sociodemographic and health profile of samples of people with diabetes who complete either an online or postal patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) validation survey. METHODS A longitudinal survey of people with diabetes was conducted using online and postal survey versions. The survey consisted of sociodemographic and health questions, a health and self-management PROM (Health and Self-Management in Diabetes [HASMID]), and 5-level version of EQ-5D. Dose adjustment for normal eating Online, Diabetes UK, and social media were used to recruit online survey participants. A panel of patients at a local National Health Service Trust was randomly allocated to participate in either survey version (two-thirds to postal version). Participants were asked to complete the survey again approximately 3 months later. RESULTS A total of 2784 participants completed the survey (1908 online, 876 postal). The samples (online versus postal) differed; the online sample was younger, with a larger proportion of women and respondents with type 1 diabetes. There were significant differences in sociodemographic characteristics by type of diabetes across data collection mode. The proportion of respondents who responded again at point 2 was higher in the postal sample (525 postal, 698 online). CONCLUSION The sociodemographic and health profile of samples of people with diabetes differed depending on whether they completed the online or postal survey. Differences are likely due to different recruitment methods and differences in those choosing to respond to different survey versions. Future PROM validation surveys should select data collection methods carefully because these can affect sample characteristics and results.
