Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore Victorian parents' and club officials' engagement with, and attitudes towards, the sponsorship of junior sports by unhealthy food and beverage companies. METHODS We conducted online surveys with 504 parents of children participating in junior sports and 16 semi-structured interviews with junior sports club officials (from clubs that accepted unhealthy food sponsorship) in Victoria, Australia. RESULTS Most parents were concerned about children's exposure to sponsorship by unhealthy local (58% extremely, very or moderately concerned) and large food companies (63%) in junior sports. The views of sporting club officials were grouped into four themes: (1) the existing funding challenges for junior sports, (2) how junior sports sponsorship is community dependent, (3) how the perceived risks of sponsorship by unhealthy food companies are low and (4) the need for high-level regulations and support to transition towards healthier junior sports sponsorship. CONCLUSIONS Transitioning towards healthier junior sports sponsorship may be hindered by insufficient funding models and low concern for such actions by community leaders. IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH Policy actions from higher-level sporting governing bodies and governments are likely to be necessary to reduce harmful junior sports sponsorship, alongside restrictions on the marketing of unhealthy foods through other media and settings.

Abstract
Alveolar recruitment manoeuvres (ARM) performed during general anaesthesia improve oxygenation; however cardiovascular depression may be observed. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of sustained inflation (SI) and stepwise ARMs on cardiac output (CO), mean arterial blood pressure and arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) in ten mechanically ventilated goats anaesthetised with isoflurane. In the SI ARM, peak inspiratory presure (PIP) was increased to 30 cmH2O and sustained for 20 s. In the stepwise ARM, the PIP was increased by 5 cmH2O each minute for three minutes from 10 to 25 cmH2O. Both ARMs were followed by positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O. Paired lithium dilution CO measurements and arterial blood samples were obtained before and after each ARM. The order of the ARM was randomised and each goat was subjected to both techniques. Data was reported as median and interquartile range (IQR). Significance was set at 0.05. The median change in CO (measured by subtracting values after and before ARM) was -0.15 L min-1 (IQR -0.51; 0.03) and - 0.90 L min-1 (IQR -1.69; -0.58) for SI and stepwise ARM respectively (p = 0.04). The median change in PaO2 was 3 kPa (IQR -2.7; 7.6) and 0.4 kPa (IQR -3.4; 5.5) for SI and stepwise ARM respectively (p = 0.03). In conclusion, SI ARM causes less impact on CO and provides a better improvement in PaO2 compared to stepwise ARM in goats.

Abstract
Telehealth allows older adults to take control over their health and preventive care; however, they are less likely to use telehealth. Minority older adults use telehealth services less than their White counterparts. During COVID-19, the U.S. Medicare system allowed for telehealth delivery of Annual Wellness Visits, which are known to improve use of preventive services. To increase telehealth use, we targeted vulnerable, low-income, minority older adults and provided education to improve knowledge of and identify barriers to telehealth use. Ultimately, this could serve as a means of improving health and preventive care services. Participants resided at independent living facilities, low-income housing, and elders of the Native American coalition; N = 257. Participants received written education materials; a subset attended a 20-min presentation. In this quasi-experimental study, participants completed a pre-post survey. Results were analyzed using Chi-Squared and Fisher's Exact tests. Participants included 54 'in-person' and 203 'at-home' learners. Most were female (79%), single/widowed (51%), and white (65%). At baseline, 39% were familiar with telehealth; following education 73% stated understanding on accessing telehealth. Nearly 40% of participants said they would use telehealth in the future; a larger proportion of "in-person" (73%) learners were willing to use telehealth than "at-home" learners (41%) (p = 0.001). Divorced older adults and Blacks voiced greater likelihoods of using telehealth than their married/widowed and White counterparts, respectively (Χ2(3, N = 195) = 9.693, p = 0.02), (p = 0.01). This education program demonstrates an increase likelihood in health promotion among older adults by increasing confidence in accessing and future use of telehealth; therefore, we achieved our aim of promoting telehealth use and improving health promotion.

Abstract
Background Among people living with HIV (PLWH), physical intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with poor virologic, psychiatric, and behavioral outcomes. We examined non-physical, psychological intimate partner violence (psy-IPV) and HIV care outcomes using data from two U.S. consortia. Methods We conducted multivariable analyses with robust standard errors to compare patients indicating/not indicating psy-IPV. Results Among PLWH (n = 5950), 9.5% indicated psy-IPV; these individuals were younger (− 3; 95% CI [− 2,-4], p-value < 0.001), less likely to be on antiretroviral treatment (ART) (0.73 [0.55,0.97], p = 0.03), less adherent to ART (− 4.2 [− 5.9,-2.4], p < 0.001), had higher odds of detectable viral load (1.43 [1.15,1.78], p = 0.001) and depression (2.63 [2.18,3.18], p < 0.001), and greater use of methamphetamines/crystal [2.98 (2.30,3.87),p < 0.001], cocaine/crack [1.57 (1.24,1.99),p < 0.001], illicit opioids [1.56 (1.13,2.16),p = 0.007], and marijuana [1.40 (1.15,1.70), p < 0.001]. Conclusion Psychological IPV, even in the absence of physical or sexual IPV, appears to be associated with HIV care outcomes and should be included in IPV measures integrated into routine HIV care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Australians are consuming almost double the recommended maximum salt intake. The Victorian Salt Reduction Partnership was established to coordinate efforts to reduce salt intake in the state of Victoria. As part of an intervention strategy, media advocacy strategies were used to raise public awareness and stimulate industry and government action on salt reduction. This study aimed to evaluate the Victorian Salt Reduction Partnership's media advocacy activities by determining the extent to which activities contributed to the overall strategy aims and the effectiveness of the activities in gaining media and industry engagement. METHODS A framework for evaluating media advocacy strategies used in complex public health interventions was used to guide this evaluation. Media advocacy activities were monitored and documented throughout the intervention period. A content analysis of media release press statements was performed. Indicators of media coverage (media items, cumulative audience reach, advertising space rate) and food industry engagement (number of meetings, number and type of follow up actions) were tracked. RESULTS Six media releases were issued between March 2017 and November 2018 on different processed food categories including breads, cooking sauces, ready meals, dips and crackers, processed meats and Asian-style sauces. Three main themes were identified in the qualitative analysis of the press statements: general information on salt and health, salt levels in foods, and calls to action for consumers, industry and/or government. These themes were aligned with the overall intervention strategy. Media items (print and online news, radio and TV) generated by each release ranged from 36 to 274, and cumulative audience reach (opportunities to see) ranged from 2.3 to 7.5 million Australians per release. One to three food manufacturers were met with per media release. CONCLUSIONS Disseminating sodium-monitoring data through media releases can be used as a tool to gain access to the media and reach consumers with salt reduction messages, and to engage food manufacturers in discussions about salt reduction. Characteristics of media advocacy activities, including alignment with the overall strategy, and external factors outside the of control of the program implementers, can influence media and industry engagement. When planning future nutrition interventions that include media advocacy activities, internal and external factors impacting outcomes, should be considered, documented and evaluated.

Abstract
Abstract
Sixteen laboratories participated in an AOAC–American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) collaborative study of a liquid chromatographic (LC) method for determining capsaicinoids in capsicums and their extractives. Capsicums are extracted with ethanol by refluxing and then filtered. Capsaicinoids in the filtrate are separated by re- versed-phase LC and detected spectrophotometri� cally with external standard quantitation. Participants analyzed 6 ground capsicum and 3 oleoresin products as 12 samples from a mixed scheme of blind duplicates and Youden matched pairs. Average repeatability and reproducibility standard deviations (sr and sR, respectively) and average relative standard deviations (RSDr and RSDR, respectively) for ground red pepper were as follows: sr, 610 Scoville heat units (SHU); sR, 1730 SHU; RSDr, 1.7%; RSDR, 4.9%. For ground chili peppers, the values were sr, 60 SHU; sR, 160 SHU; RSDr, 4.0%; RSDR, 10.6%. For oleoresin red pepper, the averages were sr, 46820 SHU; sR, 54990 SHU; RSDr, 8.5%; RSDR, 11.2%. The LC method has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing inequalities in rates of obesity and chronic disease may be partly fuelled by increasing dietary inequalities, however very few nationally representative analyses of socioeconomic trends in dietary inequalities exist. The release of the 2011-13 Australian National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey data allows investigation of change in dietary intake according to socioeconomic position (SEP) in Australia using a large, nationally representative sample, compared to the previous national survey in 1995. This study examined change in dietary intakes of energy, macronutrients, fiber, fruits and vegetables among Australian adults between 1995 and 2011-13, according to SEP. METHODS Cross-sectional data were obtained from the 1995 National Nutrition Survey, and the 2011-13 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey. Dietary intake data were collected via a 24-h dietary recall (n = 17,484 adults) and a dietary questionnaire (n = 15,287 adults). SEP was assessed according to educational level, equivalized household income, and area-level disadvantage. Survey-weighted linear and logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex/gender and smoking status, examined change in dietary intakes over time. RESULTS Dietary intakes remained poor across the SEP spectrum in both surveys, as evidenced by high consumption of saturated fat and total sugars, and low fiber, fruit and vegetable intakes. There was consistent evidence (i.e. according to ≥2 SEP measures) of more favorable changes in dietary intakes of carbohydrate, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat in higher, relative to lower SEP groups, particularly in women. Intakes of energy, total fat, saturated fat and fruit differed over time according to a single SEP measure (i.e. educational level, household income, or area-level disadvantage). There were no changes in intake of total sugars, protein, fiber or vegetables according to any SEP measures. CONCLUSIONS There were few changes in dietary intakes of energy, most macronutrients, fiber, fruits and vegetables in Australian adults between 1995 and 2011-13 according to SEP. For carbohydrate, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, more favorable changes in intakes occurred in higher SEP groups. Despite the persistence of suboptimal dietary intakes, limited evidence of widening dietary inequalities is positive from a public health perspective.

Abstract
Introduction Systems thinking has emerged in recent years as a promising approach to understanding and acting on the prevention and amelioration of non-communicable disease. However, the evidence on inequities in non-communicable diseases and their risks factors, particularly diet, has not been examined from a systems perspective. We report on an approach to developing a system oriented policy actor perspective on the multiple causes of inequities in healthy eating. Methods Collaborative conceptual modelling workshops were held in 2015 with an expert group of representatives from government, non-government health organisations and academia in Australia. The expert group built a systems model using a system dynamics theoretical perspective. The model developed from individual mind maps to pair blended maps, before being finalised as a causal loop diagram. Results The work of the expert stakeholders generated a comprehensive causal loop diagram of the determinants of inequity in healthy eating (the HE2 Diagram). This complex dynamic system has seven sub-systems: (1) food supply and environment; (2) transport; (3) housing and the built environment; (4) employment; (5) social protection; (6) health literacy; and (7) food preferences. Discussion The HE2 causal loop diagram illustrates the complexity of determinants of inequities in healthy eating. This approach, both the process of construction and the final visualisation, can provide the basis for planning the prevention and amelioration of inequities in healthy eating that engages with multiple levels of causes and existing policies and programs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe characteristics, presentation, time to diagnosis and diagnostic findings of patients with intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) in a low-burden country. METHOD Retrospective study of 61 consecutive ITB patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2014 at a large East London hospital. RESULTS Forty of sixty-one patients were male. Mean age was 34.6 years. 93% of patients were born abroad, mostly from TB-endemic areas (Indian subcontinent: 88%, Africa: 9%). 25% had concomitant pulmonary TB. Median time from symptom onset to ITB diagnosis was 13 weeks (IQR 3-26 weeks). Ten patients were initially treated for IBD, although patients had ITB. The main sites of ITB involvement were the ileocaecum (44%) or small bowel (34%). Five patients had isolated perianal disease. Colonoscopy confirmed a diagnosis of ITB in 77% of those performed. 42 of 61 patients had a diagnosis of ITB confirmed on positive histology and/or microbiology. CONCLUSION Diagnosis of ITB is often delayed, which may result in significant morbidity. ITB should be excluded in patients with abdominal complaints who come from TB-endemic areas to establish prompt diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis is challenging but aided by axial imaging, colonoscopy and tissue biopsy for TB culture and histology.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is common in older people and increases risk of falls, osteoporosis and fracture. This may be reduced with supplements. Recent Scottish guidelines recommend routine use of vitamin D and calcium for all older housebound, sunlight deprived or institutionalised people. Whilst many outpatients will undoubtedly meet these criteria, others who would benefit may not. We have determined the extent of vitamin D deficiency in older outpatients in our geographical area, to clarify further whether those found to be deficient, would receive supplementation under current guidelines Methodology 102 new patient referrals to outpatient clinics and day hospital were questioned over their social circumstances and activity levels, and had serum 25 - Hydroxy Vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels measured in wintertime Results Mean age was 79.6 (SD 7.3), 31.4% were housebound and 51.0% exposed their skin to sunlight. 72.6% had insufficient vitamin D levels [25(OH)D <50 nmol/l], 27.5% of whom levels were frankly deficient [25(OH)D <25 nmol/l]. Deficiency was significantly more common in females (p=0.002), those attending the falls clinic or day hospital (p=0.021), the housebound (p=0.012) or patients who never exposed their skin to sunlight (p=0.007). However, even in those patients who were outdoors frequently or who did expose their skin to the sun, the mean vitamin D levels remained insufficient [mean 25(OH)D = 45.6 (SD 26.2) nmol/l and 47.9 (SD 26.3) nmol/l respectively]. Conclusions The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is high in older outpatients in this geographical area. These patients may benefit from routine vitamin D and calcium, but currently many would not be targeted in recent Scottish Executive recommendations because they are not housebound and sunlight deprived.

Abstract
his qualitative study follows previous research on how meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) affects patients as reported by healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to research the phenomenon of being colonised with MRSA from the patient's perspective. A total of 14 patients were interviewed following discharge from hospital, transcripts were then analysed using an interpretive phenomenological approach. The key findings are reported under the four themes of information provision, patient understanding, lived experience and information needs. Poor information provision was a key theme, experienced by many patients. This resulted in some patients feeling confused and often anxious, and for some affected their lives both in and out of hospital. Providing good quality and reassuring information appropriate to the patient and their current condition is key to improving understanding, deflecting the impact of the media and reducing significance of this symptom-free state. Recommendations for practice include enhanced training for healthcare workers on how to address sensitively the patient's information needs and reduce unnecessary confusion and distress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid dependence is associated with high levels of morbidity, yet sparse data exists regarding the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of individuals with opioid dependence, particularly following treatment initiation. To inform cost-effectiveness analyses of treatment modalities, this study investigates short-term changes in HRQoL following enrollment into opioid agonist treatment (OAT), across treatment modalities and patient subgroups. METHODS Data was analyzed from the Starting Treatment with Agonist Replacement Therapies (START) and Prescription Opioid Addiction Treatment Studies (POATS) randomized controlled trials. Participants included individuals dependent on prescription opioids (POs) or heroin, receiving limited-term or time-unlimited treatment. PO- or heroin-users in START received buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP/NX) or methadone (MET) over 24 weeks. PO-users in POATS received psychosocial care and short-term (4-week) taper with BUP/NX, with non-responders offered subsequent extended (12-week) stabilization and taper. HRQoL was assessed using the short-form SF-6D while in and out of OAT, with distinction between MMT and BUP/NX in START. Linear mixed effects regression models were fitted to determine the independent effects of OAT on HRQoL and characterize HRQoL trajectories. RESULTS Treatment had a similar immediate and modest positive association with HRQoL in each patient subgroup. The association of OAT on HRQoL was statistically significant in each model, with effect sizes between 0.039 (heroin-users receiving BUP/NX) and 0.071 (PO-users receiving MET). After initial improvement, HRQoL decreased slightly, or increased at a diminished rate. CONCLUSIONS OAT, whether delivered in time-limited or unlimited form, using BUP/NX or MET, is associated with modest immediate HRQoL improvements, with diminishing benefits thereafter.

Abstract
AIM Recovery is essential to effective performance in climbing competitions which often involve repeated bouts, and sport climbing where climbers may work a route over a number of days prior to a complete ascent. METHODS This study employed a cross-over design to compare water with chocolate milk as recovery aids following an exhaustive bout of high intensity endurance climbing. Ten male climbers (age: 22±1 years; height: 178.5±7.9 cm; mass: 74.7±11.3 kg) climbed a Tredwall (Brewer Ledge M6) until volitional exhaustion. The participants consumed either water or chocolate milk 20 minutes after the climb and then again with their evening meal. The exercise protocol was repeated 24 hours after the original climb. The second condition was completed 7 days later. Workload indicators of heart rate, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), blood lactate and muscle soreness scores were recorded alongside climbing performance measures of duration and distance of the climb. A improved performance was found after the consumption of chocolate milk, with both a greater distance climbed (F(1,9)=11.704, P=0.008) and duration (F(1,9) =10.922, P=0.009), there were no differences in end of climb heart rate or RPE. RESULTS Muscle soreness scores were lower three days after exercise following chocolate milk (t(8)=3.773, P=0.005). Chocolate milk as a recovery drink resulted in further sustained climbing, a decrease in muscle soreness, compared to water. It may be pertinent for climbers to consider its use as a recovery aid during repeated climbing bouts. Chocolate milk is a relatively unexplored recovery aid and warrants further attention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare effects of two passive warming methods combined with a resistive heating mat on perioperative hypothermia in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two dogs were enrolled and randomly allocated to receive a reflective blanket (Blizzard Blanket) or a fabric blanket (VetBed). In addition, in the operating room all dogs were placed onto a table with a resistive heating mat covered with a fabric blanket. Rectal temperature measurements were taken at defined points. Statistical analysis was performed comparing all Blizzard Blanket-treated to all VetBed-treated dogs, and VetBed versus Blizzard Blanket dogs within spay and castrate groups, spay versus castrate groups and within groups less than 10 kg or more than 10 kg bodyweight. RESULTS Data from 39 dogs were used for analysis. All dogs showed a reduction in perioperative rectal temperature. There were no detected statistical differences between treatments or between the different groups. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study supports previous data on prevalence of hypothermia during surgery. The combination of active and passive warming methods used in this study prevented the development of severe hypothermia, but there were no differences between treatment groups.

Abstract
The majority of adolescents initiate sexual activity during their teenage years, making contraception an important aspect of routine adolescent health care. Despite common misperceptions, all available methods of reversible contraception are appropriate for adolescent use. Contraceptive side effects profiles and barriers to use of certain methods should be considered when providing contraceptives to adolescents. In particular, ease of use, confidentiality, and menstrual effects are main concerns of adolescents. Contraceptive counseling with adolescents should describe method efficacy, discuss user preferences, explore barriers to use, counsel regarding sexually transmitted infection prevention, and consider what to do if contraception fails. Emergency contraception should be widely discussed with adolescents, as it is appropriate for use during gaps in other contraceptive use, method failure, and adolescents who are not using another form of contraception. Dual method use (condom plus a highly effective method of contraception) is the gold standard for prevention of both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer survivorship is a chronic disease that places patients in limbo between oncologists and primary care clinicians. Strategies have been proposed to ease the shift in coordination of care, including broad-based educational outreach to primary care providers. METHODS Guided by the theory of planned behavior (TPB), predictors of intention to provide survivorship care, including credentials, experience, perception of barriers, and personal survivorship status, were evaluated using logistic regression with a cohort of physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses participating in an unprecedented online continuing medical education/continuing education survivorship care course. RESULTS Results showed that physicians were significantly less likely to express intent to provide survivorship care (odds ratio [OR] = .237, p = .0001) compared to the other groups. Overall, clinicians with 6-10 years of experience were 3 times more likely to express intent to provide survivorship care (OR = 2.86, p = .045) than those with less or more experience. When clinicians perceived the presence of a barrier, they were nearly twice as likely to have diminished intent (OR = 1.89, p = .035). Most participants (66%; n = 1185) selected two barriers: lack of survivorship care plans and treatment summaries (45.4%; n = 821) and lack of education (20.1%; n = 364). DISCUSSION Barriers to the delivery of survivorship care can influence clinicians' intention to provide survivorship care, which varied by years of experience in this study. Interdisciplinary educational strategies featuring midcareer provider champions who have successfully incorporated survivorship care and can offer specific solutions to these barriers are recommended for future interventions.
