Abstract
AIM To investigate the self-reported levels of social support from friends and family and from nurses as mediators of the relationship between self-rated physical and psychological condition in hospitalised patients. DESIGN Cross-sectional study of adult inpatients at a large tertiary-care hospital in the northeast United States. METHODS Multiple mediation analysis of survey data. RESULTS In surveys received from 324 inpatients, one fourth of the variation in patients' self-rated psychological condition was explained by self-rated physical condition. Social support from family and friends mediated a significant proportion (11.0%) of the relationship between self-rated physical and psychological condition, however social support from nurses did not. CONCLUSION Social support from family and friends can positively influence the psychological health of inpatients, but nurses are not an adequate replacement for the social support provided by family and friends. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING Although nurses cannot replace the social support provided by family and friends, the assessment of social isolation and care planning of interventions to support patients is a fundamental nursing role. Technology to connect patients with friends and family should be used to mitigate isolation for hospitalised patients unable to receive in-person visits from loved ones. IMPACT The influence of social support from family and friends and nurses was addressed. The study found social support from family and friends, but not nurses, to influence the relationship between physical and psychological ratings. This finding has implications for the role of nurses in the hospital setting. REPORTING METHOD Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines were followed.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Extreme heat contributes to heat-related illnesses resulting from heat intolerance, which is the inability to maintain a thermal balance to tolerate heat stress. In the United States, heat-related mortality for older persons has almost doubled in the past 20 years. Other populations at risk for heat-related illness (HRI) include children, pregnant people, those who work outside, young people participating in outdoor sports, and at-risk populations such as Black, indigenous, and populations of color. The classic heat tolerance test used for decades monitoring physiological responses to repetitive motions is impractical across large and potentially health challenged populations and does not identify environmental or social factors or specific vulnerable populations. To address this issue, we developed a heat-related illness screening tool (HIST) to identify individuals at risk for HRI morbidity and mortality based on their physical, environmental, and social vulnerabilities with an emphasis on populations of concern. The HIST has the potential to be used as routine clinical screening in the same way as other commonly used screening tools. Heat intolerance affects patient outcomes and quality of life; therefore, early screening with a simple, easy-to-administer screening tool such as the HIST can identify people at risk and refer them to services that address heat exposure and/or create safety nets to prevent heat-related illnesses.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The health impacts of climate change are pervasive and complex. The role of nurse practitioners is a key in addressing these emerging health challenges. However, few health care providers are aware of the extensive signs and symptoms that accompany climate-related health sequelae. This article explores the increasing prevalence of occupational heat stress and best practices for nurse practitioners in addressing this problem. The A CLIMATE mnemonic is a clinical tool applied to occupational heat stress and aims to address a comprehensive health assessment and proactive management. Two clinical case studies will be offered as exemplars of occupational heat stress. The cases are framed within the A CLIMATE mnemonic for health assessment and physical examination for nurse practitioner practice.

Abstract
AIMS The national PrEP programme launched in Ireland in November 2019 with tenofovir/emtricitabine free to those meeting eligibility criteria. We assessed the impact of the first year of the PrEP programme on new HIV diagnoses in the largest sexual health and HIV service in Ireland. METHODS A free PrEP service was established in November 2019. We reviewed the number of new diagnoses of HIV between November 2018-2019, before the introduction of the national PrEP programme and compared this with the number of new HIV diagnosis between November 2019-2020. RESULTS There were 95 new HIV diagnoses (63.3% MSM) between November 2018 and 2019 and 73 new HIV diagnoses (65.7% MSM) between November 2019 and 2020. There was a statistically significant decline in new HIV diagnoses between the 2 years (P = 0.0003). 546 patients were prescribed PrEP as of December 2020.106 patients (19.4%) changed their PrEP dosing regimen due to lockdown. 178 individuals (32.6%) had a rectal infection diagnosed. CONCLUSION There has been a reduction in new HIV diagnoses in our cohort (although this has occurred during a global pandemic). It is too early to say if PrEP reduces late presentations of HIV based on our findings. A significant number of rectal infections were identified in the PrEP clinic suggesting ongoing risk despite pandemic restrictions. Further research into sexual practices during COVID-19 is needed to assess if this had an impact on the lower rates of HIV acquisition.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The geriatric day hospital (GDH) provides outpatient geriatric medical, nursing and rehabilitation care to older adults. The aim of this study was to assess whether medication optimisation occurs in this setting. We believe the GDH would be an ideal location for mediation optimisation due to the stable community dwelling patients and close follow up by specialised physicians.
Methods
Electronic patient records of the new patients ≥65 years seen in the GDH over a 3-month period were reviewed. Potentially inappropriate prescriptions (PIPs) and potentially prescribing omissions (PPOs) were identified using the STOPP/START prescribing tool on admission to the GDH and again at discharge from the GDH.
Results
One-hundred and sixty-seven patient records were reviewed; mean age 80.8 (SD6.5) years, 62.9% female, median clinical frailty scale score 6 (IQR5–6), mean number of conditions 5.79 (SD3), mean number of medications 7.57 (SD3.7). Patients had a median of 4 (IQR2–7) consultations. The number of patients prescribed at least 1 STOPP-PIP reduced by 10% (42.4% vs 38%; p < 0.001). Vasodilator drugs in patients with orthostatic hypotension were deprescribed most frequently (6.5% vs 3%; p < 0.001). PPOs were reduced by 36% (47.5% vs 30.6%;p < 0.001). The largest improvement was identified in the prescription of vitamin D in patients experiencing falls (17.4% vs 13.8%;p < 0.001). Logistic regression was performed to ascertain the influence of age, gender, falls, dementia, co-morbidity number and medication number on the likelihood of a patient experiencing a PIP or PPO. For every medication prescribed, the odds of experiencing a PIP increased by 11.8% (OR1.187, 95%CI 1.052–1.339). Being female increased the odds of experiencing a PPO by 21.7% (OR2.17, 95%CI 10.53–4.468).
Conclusion
Medication optimisation is key in avoiding side effects from potentially inappropriate medications. The frequency of patient attendances coupled with geriatricians’ expertise makes the GDH an ideal setting for medication optimisation in multi-morbid frail community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract
There is little information on how POPs in eggs of different terrestrial, wetland, and aquatic birds share a large urban and rural landscape relate. We collected and analysed 64 eggs belonging to ten species of six feeding guilds, and compared organic chlorinated pesticide (OCP), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), and brominated flame retardants (BFR) residue concentrations and compositions. The eggs were collected in the Gauteng and the northern part of the Free Sate provinces of South Africa, one of the largest economic hubs in Africa. White-breasted Cormorant and African Darter eggs (at the highest trophic level as large aquatic predators) had the highest ΣOCP and ΣPCB concentrations, and Cape Sparrow and Southern Masked Weaver (granivores) eggs had the lowest concentrations, corresponding to the lowest trophic level in our collection. The highest percentage p,p'-DDT were in eggs of the terrestrial insectivore Crowned Lapwing (24%) and the scavenging African Sacred Ibis (17%), and the lowest in African Darter (1.0%) and White-breasted Cormorant (0.9%) eggs, suggesting that recency of DDT releases in a region cannot be gauged by this metric. African Sacred Ibis and Southern Masked Weaver eggs had the highest ΣBFR concentrations, with Crowned Lapwing, Cattle Egret, and White-breasted Cormorant eggs the least. Based on feeding guilds, the mean ΣPOP concentrations increased from granivore, aquatic omnivore, scavenger, terrestrial insectivore, small aquatic predator, to large aquatic predator. Mean ΣPOP concentrations in eggs increased from terrestrial, to wetland, to aquatic habitat birds. Interesting patterns were observed with multivariate analyses. There were no significant regressions between egg size and any summed POP classes. ΣBFR concentrations were not correlated with ΣOCPs or ΣPCBs. Eggshell thinning of African Darter eggs was associated with p,p'-DDE and ΣPCB suggesting risk. Other metrics also suggest risk. Therefore, different species of terrestrial and aquatic birds from the same area acquire and deposit POPs in different proportions and quantities in their eggs. Trophic levels and habitat explain the overall patterns, but detailed differences were found, some of which we are unable to explain. Based on POPs residues in terrestrial, wetland, and aquatic bird eggs, different POPs classes behave differently in a shared large inland industrial area, complicating deductions about POPs and associated risks based on one or few species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventra hernias are increasing in prevalence and many recur despite attempted repair. To date, much of the literature is underpowered and divergent. As a result there is limited high quality evidence to inform surgeons succinctly which perioperative variables influence postoperative recurrence. This systematic review aimed to identify predictors of ventral hernia recurrence. METHODS PubMed was searched for studies reporting prognostic data of ventral hernia recurrence between 1 January 1995 and 1 January 2018. Extracted data described hernia type (primary/incisional), definitions of recurrence, methods used to detect recurrence, duration of follow-up, and co-morbidity. Data were extracted for all potential predictors, estimates and thresholds described. Random-effects meta-analysis was used. Bias was assessed with a modified PROBAST (Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool). RESULTS Screening of 18 214 abstracts yielded 274 individual studies for inclusion. Hernia recurrence was defined in 66 studies (24.1 per cent), using 41 different unstandardized definitions. Three patient variables (female sex, age 65 years or less, and BMI greater than 25, 30, 35 or 40 kg/m2), five patient co-morbidities (smoking, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ASA grade III-IV, steroid use), two hernia-related variables (incisional/primary, recurrent/primary), six intraoperative variables (biological mesh, bridged repair, open versus laparoscopic surgery, suture versus mesh repair, onlay/retrorectus, intraperitoneal/retrorectus), and six postoperative variables (any complication, surgical-site occurrence, wound infection, seroma, haematoma, wound dehiscence) were identified as significant prognostic factors for hernia recurrence. CONCLUSION This study summarized the current evidence base for predicting ventral hernia recurrence. Results should inform best practice and future research.

Abstract
Genetic knock-in using homology-directed repair is an inefficient process, requiring the selection of few modified cells and hindering its application to primary cells. Here, we describe Homology independent gene Tagging (HiTag), a method to tag a protein of interest by CRISPR in up to 66% of transfected cells with one single electroporation. The technique has proven effective in various cell types and can be used to knock in a fluorescent protein for live cell imaging, to modify the cellular location of a target protein and to monitor the levels of a protein of interest by a luciferase assay in primary cells.

Abstract
Next-generation genetic sequencing (NGS) technologies facilitate the screening of multiple genes linked to neurodegenerative dementia, but there are few reports about their use in clinical practice. Which patients would most profit from testing, and information on the likelihood of discovery of a causal variant in a clinical syndrome, are conspicuously absent from the literature, mostly for a lack of large-scale studies. We applied a validated NGS dementia panel to 3241 patients with dementia and healthy aged controls; 13,152 variants were classified by likelihood of pathogenicity. We identified 354 deleterious variants (DV, 12.6% of patients); 39 were novel DVs. Age at clinical onset, clinical syndrome and family history each strongly predict the likelihood of finding a DV, but healthcare setting and gender did not. DVs were frequently found in genes not usually associated with the clinical syndrome. Patients recruited from primary referral centres were compared with those seen at higher-level research centres and a national clinical neurogenetic laboratory; rates of discovery were comparable, making selection bias unlikely and the results generalisable to clinical practice. We estimated penetrance of DVs using large-scale online genomic population databases and found 71 with evidence of reduced penetrance. Two DVs in the same patient were found more frequently than expected. These data should provide a basis for more informed counselling and clinical decision making.

Abstract
Spontaneous nephroblastomas are uncommon tumors of laboratory rats. This report
describes a spontaneous nephroblastoma with peritoneal metastasis in an 11-month-old,
female Sprague Dawley rat. The rat was part of a breeding program and presented 15 days
post parturition with clinical signs including tachypnea, dyspnea and abdominal
distension. At necropsy, the right kidney was markedly enlarged by an expansile pale-tan
to white multinodular mass with extension into the retroperitoneal space, with multifocal
variably sized nodules involving the mesentery, and surface of pancreas, liver, uterus,
and ovarian bursa. The rat also had severe bicavitary effusion. Histologically, the renal
parenchyma of the affected kidney was replaced by a moderately cellular,
poorly-demarcated, non-encapsulated, multilobulated mass that appeared to compress the
adjacent renal outer medulla and cortex. Three distinct neoplastic cell populations were
identified in this renal tumor: epithelial cells (convoluted and dilated tubules / rare
primitive glomeruloid structures), mesenchymal (neoplastic spindle cells in connective
tissue), and blastemal cells (primitive neoplastic cells). The extrarenal nodular masses
were predominantly composed of neoplastic mesenchymal and pleomorphic blastemal cells.
Immunohistochemically, neoplastic epithelial cells in the renal mass were positive for
pancytokeratin, and blastemal cells in both renal and extrarenal masses were positive for
Wilms’ tumor 1 protein (WT1) and vimentin. Neoplastic mesenchymal elements in both renal
and extrarenal masses were positive for vimentin. The neoplasm was negative for
chromogranin A and S100. The tumor was classified as an anaplastic nephroblastoma with
metastasis to the mesentery and peritoneal organs.

Abstract
Infection with Helicobacter pylori causes chronic inflammation and is a risk factor for gastric cancer. Antibiotic treatment or increased dietary folate prevents gastric carcinogenesis in male INS-GAS mice. To determine potential synergistic effects, H. pylori-infected male INS-GAS mice were fed an amino acid defined (AAD) diet with increased folate and were treated with antibiotics after 18 weeks of H. pylori infection. Antibiotic therapy decreased gastric pathology, but dietary folate had no effect. However, the combination of antibiotics and the AAD diet induced anemia, gastric hemorrhage, and mortality. Clinical presentation suggested hypovitaminosis K potentially caused by dietary deficiency and dysbiosis. Based on current dietary guidelines, the AAD diet was deficient in vitamin K. Phylloquinone administered subcutaneously and via a reformulated diet led to clinical improvement with no subsequent mortalities and increased hepatic vitamin K levels. We characterized the microbiome and menaquinone profiles of antibiotic-treated and antibiotic-free mice. Antibiotic treatment decreased the abundance of menaquinone producers within orders Bacteroidales and Verrucomicrobiales. PICRUSt predicted decreases in canonical menaquinone biosynthesis genes, menA and menD. Reduction of menA from Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides uniformis, and Muribaculum intestinale were confirmed in antibiotic-treated mice. The fecal menaquinone profile of antibiotic-treated mice had reduced MK5 and MK6 and increased MK7 and MK11 compared to antibiotic-free mice. Loss of menaquinone-producing microbes due to antibiotics altered the enteric production of vitamin K. This study highlights the role of diet and the microbiome in maintaining vitamin K homeostasis.

Abstract
One of the main objectives of the ANTARES telescope is the search for point-like neutrino sources. Both the pointing accuracy and the angular resolution of the detector are important in this context and a reliable way to evaluate this performance is needed. In order to measure the pointing accuracy of the detector, one possibility is to study the shadow of the Moon, i.e. the deficit of the atmospheric muon flux from the direction of the Moon induced by the absorption of cosmic rays. Analysing the data taken between 2007 and 2016, the Moon shadow is observed with 3.5 σ statistical significance. The detector angular resolution for downward-going muons is 0 . 73 ∘ ± 0 . 14 ∘ . The resulting pointing performance is consistent with the expectations. An independent check of the telescope pointing accuracy is realised with the data collected by a shower array detector onboard of a ship temporarily moving around the ANTARES location.

Abstract
CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene editing of patient-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) ex vivo followed by autologous transplantation of the edited HSPCs back to the patient can provide a potential cure for monogenic blood disorders such as β-hemoglobinopathies. One challenge for this strategy is efficient delivery of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, consisting of purified Cas9 protein and guide RNA, into HSPCs. Because β-hemoglobinopathies are most prevalent in developing countries, it is desirable to have a reliable, efficient, easy-to-use and cost effective delivery method. With this goal in mind, we developed TRansmembrane Internalization Assisted by Membrane Filtration (TRIAMF), a new method to quickly and effectively deliver RNPs into HSPCs by passing a RNP and cell mixture through a filter membrane. We achieved robust gene editing in HSPCs using TRIAMF and demonstrated that the multilineage colony forming capacities and the competence for engraftment in immunocompromised mice of HSPCs were preserved post TRIAMF treatment. TRIAMF is a custom designed system using inexpensive components and has the capacity to process HSPCs at clinical scale.

Abstract
Representations within the primary motor cortex (M1) are capable of rapid functional changes following motor learning, known as use-dependent plasticity. GABAergic inhibition plays a role in use-dependent plasticity. Evidence suggests a different capacity for plasticity of distal and proximal upper limb muscle representations. However, it is unclear whether the motor cortical representations of forearm flexor and extensor muscles also have different capacities for plasticity. The current study used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate motor cortex excitability and inhibition of forearm flexor and extensor representations before and after performance of a visuomotor adaptation task that primarily targeted flexors and extensors separately. There was a decrease in extensor and flexor motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude after performing the extensor adaptation, but no change in flexor and extensor MEP amplitude after performing the flexor adaptation. There was also a decrease in motor cortical inhibition in the extensor following extensor adaptation, but no change in motor cortical inhibition in the flexor muscle following flexor adaptation or either of the non-prime mover muscles. Findings suggest that the forearm extensor motor cortical representation exhibits plastic change following adaptive motor learning, and broadly support the distinct neural control of forearm flexor and extensor muscles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data suggests that an altered metabolic and cardiorespiratory exercise response may affect exercise performance in individuals with Huntington's disease (HD). There is no clear exploration of the response in individuals at different stages of the disease or in relation to genetic markers. This study aimed to examine the exercise response and recovery of HD participants, and the relationship to genetic and clinical markers. METHOD HD gene-positive participants (n = 31; 9 pre-manifest; 22 manifest HD) and a healthy control group (n = 29) performed an incremental exercise test until exhaustion. Performance, cardiorespiratory, metabolic and perceptual responses to exercise were determined from a maximal cycle ergometer test throughout the exercise test and during a recovery period. RESULTS During sub-maximal exercise, metabolic (lactate levels, oxygen uptake) and cardiorespiratory markers (heart rate) were elevated in HD participants compared to controls. Lactate elevation was specific to pre-manifest HD participants. Work capacity was reduced in both pre-manifest and manifest HD participants with tests terminated with no difference in metabolic, perceptual or cardiorespiratory markers. Submaximal oxygen uptake was correlated with motor score, whilst peak measures were unrelated to genetic or clinical markers. Heart rate recovery was attenuated in pre-manifest and manifest HD participants. CONCLUSIONS Our findings confirm metabolic and cardiorespiratory deficits reduce exercise performance and affect recovery from an early stage in HD, with submaximal deficits related to phenotypic expression. Exercise capacity appears to be limited by an altered movement economy, thus clinicians should consider an altered exercise response and recovery may affect prescription in HD.

Abstract
A novel algorithm to reconstruct neutrino-induced particle showers within the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. The method achieves a median angular resolution of [Formula: see text] for shower energies below 100 TeV. Applying this algorithm to 6 years of data taken with the ANTARES detector, 8 events with reconstructed shower energies above 10 TeV are observed. This is consistent with the expectation of about 5 events from atmospheric backgrounds, but also compatible with diffuse astrophysical flux measurements by the IceCube collaboration, from which 2-4 additional events are expected. A [Formula: see text] C.L. upper limit on the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux with a value per neutrino flavour of [Formula: see text] is set, applicable to the energy range from 23 TeV to 7.8 PeV, assuming an unbroken [Formula: see text] spectrum and neutrino flavour equipartition at Earth.

Abstract
Background and purpose Approximately 9000 people in the UK are affected by Huntington's disease (HD). People with HD require ongoing health and social care support. There is a knowledge gap about costs of health and social care use associated with HD in the UK. This paper estimates the economic cost in the UK. Methods Data on UK patients for the year 2013 were extracted from the European Huntington's Disease Network REGISTRY study, a full clinical dataset, including the full medical history and medication history for patients with HD. National unit costs for the price year 2013 were applied to health and social care services. Results Data were available for 131 people. The mean annual cost per person with HD was £21 605. The largest proportion of this cost (65%) was due to informal care (£14 085). Conclusions Informal care was the largest driver of costs across all stages of HD; thus there is a need to also consider the needs of carers when planning services for people with HD.

Abstract
The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) is a transmembrane receptor that initiates a self-propagating inflammatory cascade and has been implicated in the onset of complications involved with aging, diabetes and neuroinflammation. Soluble RAGE (sRAGE) inhibits this inflammatory signaling by competitively binding to RAGE ligands without stimulating downstream effectors. Evidence from our lab demonstrates chronic aerobic exercise increases the cleaved isoform of sRAGE (sRAGEc). However, the effects of acute aerobic exercise on sRAGEc production have not been comprehensively examined. Furthermore, recent data suggests that estrogen may play a role in exacerbating RAGE signaling and perturbing sRAGE production in diabetic women. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to investigate changes in plasma sRAGE with acute aerobic exercise in both lean healthy (LH) and obese insulin resistant (OB-IR) individuals. A secondary objective of the study was to compare exercise responses between men and women. 8 LH participants (4 M, 4 F) and 14 OB-IR participants (4 M, 10 F) were recruited for the study. VO2max was determined via treadmill test and participants returned to the lab on a separate day following an overnight fast and exercised at 65% VO2max for 30 minutes. Blood samples were collected before and following exercise after participants rested in seated position for 30 minutes. Quantification of plasma sRAGE and endogeonous secretory RAGE were determined via ELISA and sRAGEc was calculated by subtraction. Between-group comparisons were made via independent T Test and the effect of gender was analyzed via two-way ANOVA. At baseline the OB-IR group was older (41±3 y vs. 26±1 y, p<.001), more obese (BMI 35.1±0.9 vs. 22.2±0.9 kg . m−2, p<.001) and less aerobically fit (VO2max 27.8±1.8 vs. 50.2±2.9 mL/kg−1. min−1, p<.001) compared the LH group. There was no main effect of group (OB-IR vs. LHC) on change in sRAGE or sRAGEc in response to exercise (ΔsRAGE 20.3±53.2 vs. 13.8±34.4 pg/mL, p=.93), (ΔsRAGEc 28.7±47.1 vs. 14.4±34.8 pg/mL, p=.33). However there was an effect of gender on the response to acute exercise. Males in both groups saw a significantly greater increase in plasma sRAGE (131.49±46.46 vs. −46.94±39.23 pg/mL, p<.05) and plasma sRAGEc (127.73±47.04 vs. −36.08±34.13 pg/mL, p<.05) compared to females. This study is the first to show that young healthy women and obese/insulin resistant women have an impaired ability to increase sRAGE plasma levels with acute aerobic exercise. Recent data has suggested that estrogen can exacerbate RAGE signaling as well as inhibit sRAGE production although the precise mechanism for this interaction is unclear and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sedation uptake rates for oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) vary greatly. Issues concerning adequate information and consent have been raised. Additionally, patient comprehension of sedation options is inconsistent. METHODS A closed ended questionnaire was created and delivered to assess patient understanding regarding sedation prior to OGD. The questionnaire was based on British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines. RESULTS One hundred and eleven patients were recruited. 90 % of the sedated and 73 % of the unsedated patients were satisfied with their respective decisions (OR 0.283, *p = 0.01). 65 % were unaware of basic differences between conscious sedation and general anesthesia, and 37 % were unaware that driving is permitted after having throat spray alone. The most informed of the age groups had the lowest uptake of sedation and the least informed had the highest uptake. CONCLUSION The decision to undergo gastroscopy with or without sedation is not a sufficiently informed one. This study highlights the need for the widespread dissemination of good quality information to inform patients better regarding sedation prior to OGD.

Abstract
Human essential hypertension is characterized by eutrophic inward remodeling of the resistance arteries with little evidence of hypertrophy. Upregulation of αVβ3 integrin is crucial during this process. In order to investigate the role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activation in this process, the level of FAK Y397 autophosphorylation was studied in small blood vessels from young TGR(mRen2)27 animals as blood pressure rose and eutrophic inward remodeling took place. Between weeks 4 and 5, this process was completed and accompanied by a significant increase in FAK phosphorylation compared with normotensive control animals. Phosphorylated (p)FAK Y397 was coimmunoprecipitated with both β1- and β3-integrin-specific antibodies. In contrast, only a fraction (<10-fold) was coprecipitated with the β3 integrin subunit in control vessels. Inhibition of eutrophic remodeling by cRGDfV treatment of TGR(mRen2)27 rats resulted in the development of smooth-muscle-cell hypertrophy and a significant further enhancement of FAK Y397 phosphorylation, but this time with exclusive coassociation of pFAK Y397 with integrin β1. We established that phosphorylation of FAK Y397 with association with β1 and β3 integrins occurs with pressure-induced eutrophic remodeling. Inhibiting this process leads to an adaptive hypertrophic vascular response induced by a distinct β1-mediated FAK phosphorylation pattern.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore exercise response in people with Huntington's disease (HD). DESIGN Experimental observational study with a randomly allocated subgroup before/after interventional study. SETTING Community. SUBJECTS People with HD (n=30) and a healthy comparator group (n=20). Thirteen people from the HD group were randomly allocated to an exercise training program. MAIN MEASURES Heart rate (HR) and perceived exertion on the Borg-CR10 scale (RPE) during a submaximal cycle ergometer exercise test (three minute unloaded and nine minute 65%-75%HRmaximum phase). Expired air and lactate measures were available for 8 people with HD during the exercise. INTERVENTION A 12 week gym and home walking exercise programme (n=13). RESULTS People with HD achieved a lower work rate at nine minutes (82±42(0-195) v 107±35(50 -185) Watts (p<0.05)), but higher RPE at both three (3±2(0-7) v 1±1(0-4)) and nine minutes (7±3(1-10) v 5± 2(2-9)) both p<0.01, compared to the healthy group and did not achieve a steady state HR during unloaded cycling. People with HD also demonstrated higher than expected lactate at three 2.5±2.5(1.1-8)mmo.L-1 and nine 3.8±1.9(1.2-6.6)mmo.L-1 minutes and respiratory exchange ratio at three 0.78±0.03 (0.74-0.81) and nine minutes 0.94±0.11(0.81-1.15). After exercise training there were no changes observed in HR or RPE responses during the exercise test. CONCLUSIONS There was a large variability in the observed metabolic and physiological responses to exercise in people with HD. The observed exercise responses suggest that altered exercise prescription parameters may be required for people with HD and that exercise response and factors' affecting this requires further investigation.

Abstract
R-spondin proteins sensitize cells to Wnt signalling and act as potent stem cell growth factors. Various membrane proteins have been proposed as potential receptors of R-spondin, including LGR4/5, membrane E3 ubiquitin ligases ZNRF3/RNF43 and several others proteins. Here, we show that R-spondin interacts with ZNRF3/RNF43 and LGR4 through distinct motifs. Both LGR4 and ZNRF3 binding motifs are required for R-spondin-induced LGR4/ZNRF3 interaction, membrane clearance of ZNRF3 and activation of Wnt signalling. Importantly, Wnt-inhibitory activity of ZNRF3, but not of a ZNRF3 mutant with reduced affinity to R-spondin, can be strongly suppressed by R-spondin, suggesting that R-spondin primarily functions by binding and inhibiting ZNRF3. Together, our results support a dual receptor model of R-spondin action, where LGR4/5 serve as the engagement receptor whereas ZNRF3/RNF43 function as the effector receptor.

Abstract
Phytophthora lateralis is a fungus-like (oomycete) pathogen of trees in the family Cupressaceae, including Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Lawson cypress or Port Orford cedar). Known in North America since the 1920s, presumably having been accidentally introduced from its assumed East Asian centre of origin, until recently, this pathogen has not been identified causing disease in Europe except for a few isolated outbreaks. However, since 2010, there have been several reports of infection of C. lawsoniana by P. lateralis in the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland. We sequenced the genomes of four isolates of P. lateralis from two sites in Northern Ireland in 2011. Comparison with the closely related tree and shrub pathogen P. ramorum (cause of ramorum disease of larch and other species in the UK) shows that P. lateralis shares 91.47% nucleotide sequence identity over the core conserved compartments of the genome. The genomes of the four Northern Ireland isolates are almost identical, but we identified several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that distinguish between isolates, thereby presenting potential molecular markers of use for tracking routes of spread and in epidemiological studies. Our data reveal very low rates of heterozygosity (compared with P. ramorum), consistent with inbreeding within this P. lateralis population.

Abstract
Abstract
IntroductionBreast cancer in younger patients is a unique disease entity, associated with aggressive biologic phenotype and poorer prognosis. The aim of this study was to analyse age as a prognostic factor in pre-menopausal breast cancer specifically in regards to pre-menopausal patients under the age of 35.MethodsA 7 year prospective audit of pre-menopausal patients presenting to the symptomatic breast clinic in St. James's Hospital between 2001 and 2008 was conducted. The Clinico-pathological features of pre-menopausal patients presenting under the age of 35 versus over 35 where compared. All cancer diagnoses were discussed at the breast multidisciplinary conference, and all clinico-pathological treatment details and follow-up information were entered by a full-time data manager.ResultsPre-menopausal patients under the age of 35 (n=55) were more likely to present with higher grade (p<0.05), oestrogen receptor negative (p<0.05), HER-2 receptor negative (p<0.05) and stage IV disease (p<0.05) relative to the older premenopausal group (n=250). This group also had a non-significant increased rate of lymphovascular invasion and negative progesterone receptor status compared to the older premenopausal group (p> 0.05). Pre-menopausal patients over the age of 35 were twice as likely to have lobular carcinoma as opposed to their younger counterparts. Tumour size, nodal status and axillary node burden was not significantly different between groups. Patients under-35 with breast cancer were more likely to be nulliparous.ConclusionThis data demonstrates that breast cancer in pre-menopausal patients under the age of 35 is associated with adverse clinicopathological features relative to the older pre-menopausal patients. Further studies should be aimed at assessing the prognosis, disease recurrence, disease free survival and distinct genetic profile in age related breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Structure-based drug design (SBDD) can provide valuable guidance to drug discovery programs. Robust construct design and expression, protein purification and characterization, protein crystallization, and high-resolution diffraction are all needed for rapid, iterative inhibitor design. We describe here robust methods to support SBDD on an oral anti-cytokine drug target, human MAPKAP kinase 2 (MK2). Our goal was to obtain useful diffraction data with a large number of chemically diverse lead compounds. Although MK2 structures and structural methods have been reported previously, reproducibility was low and improved methods were needed. RESULTS Our construct design strategy had four tactics: N- and C-terminal variations; entropy-reducing surface mutations; activation loop deletions; and pseudoactivation mutations. Generic, high-throughput methods for cloning and expression were coupled with automated liquid dispensing for the rapid testing of crystallization conditions with minimal sample requirements. Initial results led to development of a novel, customized robotic crystallization screen that yielded MK2/inhibitor complex crystals under many conditions in seven crystal forms. In all, 44 MK2 constructs were generated, ~500 crystals were tested for diffraction, and ~30 structures were determined, delivering high-impact structural data to support our MK2 drug design effort. CONCLUSION Key lessons included setting reasonable criteria for construct performance and prioritization, a willingness to design and use customized crystallization screens, and, crucially, initiation of high-throughput construct exploration very early in the drug discovery process.

Background
 Obesity is associated with an increased incidence of postmenopausal breast cancer and a poorer prognosis. The mechanism by which body weight affects breast cancer outcome is complex and incompletely understood. While there is convincing evidence that an obesity induced increase in estrogen production contributes to this risk, recent literature also recognizes other factors such as hyperinsulinaemia, increased IGF-1, high triglycerides and greater abdominal fat accumulation. The clustering of these risk factors is the cornerstone of metabolic syndrome (MetS) diagnosis. Although studies on MetS and cancer are scarce, the components of MetS have individually being linked to the development of cancer and combined these metabolic abnormalities may have an additive effect leading to a more aggressive tumor phenotype.
 Objective
 The primary aim of this study was to describe for the first time the incidence of MetS and central obesity in women with postmenopausal breast cancer and examine the relationship between its presence and tumor size, pathological stage and axillary nodal involvement in an Irish population.
 Design & Setting
 This was a prospective study of patients that presented to a specialist Breast Cancer Unit, in St James's Hospital, Dublin, with postmenopausal breast cancer between March 2007 and May 2008. Individuals underwent a metabolic and nutritional assessment. Studies performed included anthropometry, segmental body composition analysis by bioelectrical impedance, and quantification of fasting lipids, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein and Serum Amyloid A.
 Results
 Seventy-nine female post-menopausal breast cancer patients were recruited. The median age was 68 years (Range 41-84). The mean Body Mass Index was 28.1 ± 5.1 kg/m2, with 70% patients overweight or obese and a further 84% centrally obese. There was no difference in method of detection, diagnosis or treatment between obese and non-obese patients. Over a third of patients (36%) had MetS, which exceeds the population norms reported at 21%. MetS was significantly associated with an adverse metabolic profile as well as increased total fat, trunk fat, an 8cm greater waistline, insulin resistance and hypertension. Moreover the presence of metabolic syndrome was significantly associated with larger tumors (P=0.006), a later stage of disease (P=0.010), lymphovascular invasion (p=0.006) and axillary node involvement (P=0.014) compared to patients without MetS.
 Conclusion We report for the first time, a high prevalence of MetS and central obesity in a cohort of Irish postmenopausal breast cancer patients. The presence of the MetS seems to be associated with a more aggressive tumor phenotype. The prevalence of these altered metabolic profiles may be a key factor in determining the metastatic potential and prognosis of postmenopausal breast cancer. Therapeutic strategies that correct these abnormalities represent an exciting avenue for future prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
