Abstract
CASE HISTORY Medical records from 2009 to 2021 from a private equine referral hospital in Rochester, NH, USA were analysed for cases that underwent general anaesthesia for low-field MRI of the distal limb. These were used to determine peri-anaesthetic morbidity and mortality. CLINICAL FINDINGS AND OUTCOME Two hundred and forty-three anaesthetic episodes were recorded in horses undergoing low-field MRI. The peri-anaesthetic complication rate prior to discharge was 6.2% (15/243). No patients experienced a fatal complication. Ninety two of the 243 patients had multiple sites imaged, 90/243 received pre-anaesthetic dantrolene, 134/243 received intra-anaesthetic dobutamine, and 15/243 were positioned in dorsal recumbency. Complications included: abdominal discomfort ("colic"; 9/243), myopathy (4/243), hyphaema (1/243) and carpal fracture (1/243). At the time of discharge, 14/15 complications had resolved. Of 135 horses for which data were available 55 became hypotensive during the procedure (lowest mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg). Median body weight was 553 (min 363, max 771) kg. Horses were anaesthetised for a median of 150 (min 45, max 210) minutes. There was no evidence of an association between higher body weight (p = 0.051) or longer duration of anaesthesia (p = 0.421) and development of an anaesthetic complication. For categorical variables (dantrolene administration pre-anaesthesia, dobutamine administration during anaesthesia, hypotension (mean < 65 mmHg) during anaesthesia, dorsal vs. lateral recumbency, and imaging of single vs. multiple sites), the 95% CI for the OR included 1, indicating a lack of effect of the variable on the odds of complication. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The cases included in this series suggest that low-field MRI under general anaesthesia is a viable option for diagnostic imaging in otherwise healthy horses. Complications occur, but most resolve before discharge.

Abstract
We present the first comprehensive tests of the universality of the light leptons in the angular distributions of semileptonic B^{0}-meson decays to charged spin-1 charmed mesons. We measure five angular-asymmetry observables as functions of the decay recoil that are sensitive to lepton-universality-violating contributions. We use events where one neutral B is fully reconstructed in ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] decays in data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} integrated luminosity from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. We find no significant deviation from the standard model expectations.

Abstract
We measure the lifetime of the D_{s}^{+} meson using a data sample of 207 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle II experiment running at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The lifetime is determined by fitting the decay-time distribution of a sample of 116×10^{3} D_{s}^{+}→ϕπ^{+} decays. Our result is τ_{D_{s}^{+}}=(499.5±1.7±0.9) fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is significantly more precise than previous measurements.

Abstract
We report the first search for a nonstandard-model resonance decaying into τ pairs in e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}τ^{+}τ^{-} events in the 3.6-10 GeV/c^{2} mass range. We use a 62.8 fb^{-1} sample of e^{+}e^{-} collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The analysis probes three different models predicting a spin-1 particle coupling only to the heavier lepton families, a Higgs-like spin-0 particle that couples preferentially to charged leptons (leptophilic scalar), and an axionlike particle, respectively. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at 90% confidence level on the product of cross section and branching fraction into τ pairs, ranging from 0.7 to 24 fb, and on the couplings of these processes. We obtain world-leading constraints on the couplings for the leptophilic scalar model for masses above 6.5 GeV/c^{2} and for the axionlike particle model over the entire mass range.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the CP-violating parameters C and S in B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{0} decays at Belle II using a sample of 387×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events recorded in e^{+}e^{-} collisions at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the ϒ(4S) resonance. These parameters are determined by fitting the proper decay-time distribution of a sample of 415 signal events. We obtain C=-0.04_{-0.15}^{+0.14}±0.05 and S=0.75_{-0.23}^{+0.20}±0.04, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays, R(X_{e/μ})=B(B→Xeν)/B(B→Xμν), a precision test of electron-muon universality, using data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. In events where the partner B meson is fully reconstructed, we use fits to the lepton momentum spectra above 1.3 GeV/c to obtain R(X_{e/μ})=1.007±0.009(stat)±0.019(syst), which is the most precise lepton-universality test of its kind and agrees with the standard-model expectation.

Abstract
Aim Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) is an indicator of deteriorating autonomic dysfunction. Adherence to BP and OH measurement guidelines in an inpatient specialist palliative care unit (SPCU) was unknown. Compliance of BP and OH measurement in an advanced cancer cohort was audited. Methods A retrospective analysis of four consecutive months of patients admitted with an advanced cancer diagnosis to the inpatient SPCU was conducted. Data was obtained from 168 clinical records, and audited against current institutional clinical standards. Results Falls risk screening including BP and OH measurements were not measured on admission in 19% (n=32) cases as recommended by institutional guidelines. Where falls risks were identified in 94 (69%) patients only 71 (76%) of these had completed risk assessments. OH testing was incomplete or not conducted in 59% (n=42) of risk assessments. This had patient care and safety implications e.g. under-reporting falls risk. In addition, institutional guidelines were inflexible in clinical practice specific to a palliative care cohort of patient. Conclusions Institutional guidelines need regular reviewing. In cases where a healthcare professional determines it is inappropriate to perform an assessment, we recommend a modification to the tools allowing for recording of this decision. OH is an underestimated reality in hospice populations and the impact on hospice services is worthy of further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health disparities for children with intellectual disabilities can be challenging to measure due to many other factors that can impact health and healthcare use. The aim of the current study was to use longitudinal cohort data to compare children with intellectual disability (ID) in Ireland between 2006 and 2014 on healthcare utilisation and unmet need, at ages 9 and 13, using a propensity score matching (PSM) approach. METHODS Using data from the Growing up in Ireland study, PSM was used to identify an appropriate control sample to compare with a sample of children with ID (n = 124). Participants were matched on variables that are known to influence healthcare utilisation to reduce the impact of confounding variables between groups so that differences between the groups can be estimated. Logistic regression was used to estimate effects at ages 9 and 13. RESULTS Children with ID were no more likely to have visited a general practitioner or emergency department in the past 12 months than children without ID. They did have a greater likelihood of visiting a doctor in a hospital in the past 12 months and of having an overnight stay in hospital by age 9. Primary caregivers of children with ID were more likely to report unmet health needs at ages 9 and 13. CONCLUSIONS This approach is a novel means of comparing healthcare use in this population by balancing the impact of other factors that may result in inequities, to which children with ID may be more vulnerable.

Abstract
Increases in youth psychiatric presentations to out-patient and emergency department settings during COVID-19 have been reported. This study, using data from five hospitals in Ireland, examines changes in the number and type of paediatric admissions during COVID-19 (March 2020 - February 2021) compared to the previous two years. ICD-10 classification was used to establish admissions with mental, behavioural, neuro-developmental disorders and psychosocial reasons (MBN-PS). Overall hospital admissions fell by 25.3%, while MBN-PS fell by only 2.6%, mostly during an initial lockdown. Admissions for MBN-PS increased in July-August (9.2%), increased further in September-December (28.3%), returning to pre-COVID-19 levels in January-February 2021. Significant increases were observed among youths with anorexia nervosa (47.8%), other eating disorders (42.9%), and admissions for anxiety (29.6%), with these effects relating to females only. Although admissions for self-harm increased (3%) and rates of ASD admissions reduced (17%), these were not statistically significant. The disproportionate increase in admissions for MBN-PS compared to medical admissions suggests an adverse effect of COVID-19 on youth mental health, for females in particular, and supports previous reports of a pandemic specific increase in eating psychopathology. Combined community and acute service delivery and capacity planning are urgently needed given the prior underfunding of services pre-pandemic.

Abstract
The gut microbiome in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) is different than that of healthy controls. Previous studies have profiled the CRC tumor microbiome using a single biopsy. However, since the morphology and cellular subtype vary significantly within an individual tumor, the possibility of sampling error arises for the microbiome within an individual tumor. To test this hypothesis, seven biopsies were taken from representative areas on and off the tumor in five patients with CRC. The microbiome composition was strikingly similar across all samples from an individual. The variation in microbiome alpha-diversity was significantly greater between individuals' samples then within individuals. This is the first study, to our knowledge, that shows that the microbiome of an individual tumor is spatially homogeneous. Our finding strengthens the assumption that a single biopsy is representative of the entire tumor, and that microbiota changes are not limited to a specific area of the neoplasm.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the D^{0} and D^{+} lifetimes using D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+} and D^{+}→K^{-}π^{+}π^{+} decays reconstructed in e^{+}e^{-}→cc[over ¯] data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The data, collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 72 fb^{-1}. The results, τ(D^{0})=410.5±1.1(stat)±0.8(syst) fs and τ(D^{+})=1030.4±4.7(stat)±3.1(syst) fs, are the most precise to date and are consistent with previous determinations.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of a dynamic seat pan design on sitting biomechanics, perceived pain and seat movement compared to a control. Thirty male participants were recruited for two experimental sessions consisting of a 2-h sitting exposure (standardized typing task). Spine angles, back muscle activity, perceived pain and calf circumference were measured pre and post exposure. Sitting in the dynamic condition resulted in lower pain ratings (p = 0.031), decreased calf circumference (p < 0.001), lower average seat pressure (p < 0.001), and greater seat contact area (p = 0.003) compared to the control. Spine angles and low back EMG for all 6 muscles showed no significant differences between chair conditions. These results suggest this dynamic seat pan design is effective at decreasing several negative components associated with sitting for the occupant. Future work should examine the longer-term effects of dynamic office chair features in the field setting with a more generalizable population.

Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the formation of nodules, abscesses, and fistula at intertriginous sites. The skin-gut axis is an area of emerging research in inflammatory skin disease and is a potential contributory factor to the pathogenesis of HS. 59 patients with HS provided fecal samples, nasal and skin swabs of affected sites for analysis. 30 healthy controls provided fecal samples and 20 healthy controls provided nasal and skin swabs. We performed bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing on total DNA derived from the samples. Microbiome alpha diversity was significantly lower in the fecal, skin and nasal samples of individuals with HS which may be secondary to disease biology or related to antibiotic usage. Ruminococcus gnavus was more abundant in the fecal microbiome of individuals with HS, which is also reported in Crohn's disease (CD), suggesting comorbidity due to shared gut microbiota alterations. Finegoldia magna was over-abundant in HS skin samples relative to healthy controls. It is possible local inflammation is driven by F. magna through promoting the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). These alterations in both the gut and skin microbiome in HS warrant further exploration, and therapeutic strategies including fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) or bacteriotherapy could be of benefit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Health systems offer access to unscheduled care through numerous routes; however, it is typically provided by general practitioners (GPs), by emergency medicine doctors in in emergency departments (EDs) and by GPs in out-of-hours GP services such as practitioner cooperatives. Unscheduled healthcare constitutes a substantial portion of healthcare delivery. A systematic review was conducted to establish the factors that influence parents' decision making when seeking unscheduled healthcare for their children. The systematic review question was "What are the factors that influence the decision making of parents and families seeking unscheduled paediatric healthcare?" METHOD Five databases (CINAHL, PubMed, SCOPUS, PsycInfo, EconLit) and four grey literature databases (Proquest, Lenus, OpenGrey, Google Scholar) were searched. The titles and abstracts of 3746 articles were screened and full-text screening was performed on 177 of these articles. Fifty-six papers were selected for inclusion in the review. Data relating to different types of unscheduled health services (namely primary care, the emergency department and out-of-hours services) were extracted from these articles. A narrative approach was used to synthesise the extracted data. RESULTS Several factors were identified as influencing parental preferences and decision making when seeking unscheduled healthcare for their children. A number of the included studies identified pre-disposing factors such as race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) as impacting the healthcare-seeking behaviour of parents. Unscheduled healthcare use was often initiated by the parent's perception that the child's condition was urgent and their need for reassurance. The choice of unscheduled service was influenced by a myriad of factors such as: waiting times, availability of GP appointments, location of the ED, and the relationship that the parent or caregiver had with their GP. CONCLUSION Policy and planning initiatives do not always reflect how patients negotiate the health system as a single entity with numerous entry points. Altering patients' behaviour through public health initiatives that seek to improve, for instance, health literacy or reducing emergency hospital admissions through preventative primary care requires an understanding of the relative importance of factors that influence behaviour and decision making, and the interactions between these factors.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
It is still not clear which aspects of insomnia are associated with various aspects of anxiety problems. Knowing this could better guide treatment of insomnia comorbid with anxiety.
Methods
Data from the Sleep and Healthy Activity, Diet, Environment, and Socialization (SHADES) study were used, including N=1003 adults age 22-60. All participants completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the GAD7 anxiety questionnaire. The ISI was divided into 3 sections, based on prior work: SLEEP symptoms (difficulty sleeping), DAYTIME symptoms (difficulty functioning), and PERCEPTION symptoms (dissatisfaction). GAD7 items included anxiety level, loss of control, worry about many things, difficulty relaxing, restlessness, irritability, and fear. Logistic regression analyses examined each symptom, with each component of the ISI as predictor, as well as age, sex, race/ethnicity and education as covariates.
Results
SLEEP symptoms were independently associated with control (OR=1.09, p=0.03), many worries (OR=1.1, p=0.017), restlessness (OR=1.1, p=0.009), and irritability (OR=1.1, p=0.04). DAYTIME symptoms were independently associated with anxiety level (OR=1.3, p<0.0005), control (OR=1.2, p<0.0005), many worries (OR=1.3, p<0.0005), difficulty relaxing (OR=1.2, p=0.004), restlessness (OR=1.3, p=0.001), and irritability (OR=1.2, p<0.0005). PERCEPTION symptoms were uniquely, independently associated with anxiety level (OR=1.1, p=0.03), control (OR=1.2, p=0.001), many worries (OR=1.2, p=0.001), difficulty relaxing (OR=1.4, p<0.0005), irritability (OR=1.2, p=0.018), and feelings of fear (OR=1.2, p=0.002).
Conclusion
The DAYTIME and PERCEPTION symptoms of insomnia were strongly related to anxiety symptoms. Current treatments for insomnia focus mainly on improving sleep. Future research should test the hypothesis that treating daytime symptoms of insomnia may aid patients with comorbid anxiety.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Daytime sleepiness is associated with impaired functioning and well-being. Those with more sleepiness may turn to illicit substances to overcome these problems. The present study examined whether community-level daytime sleepiness is associated with the likelihood of drug use.
Methods
Data were pulled from the Sleep and Healthy Activity, Diet, Environment, and Socialization (SHADES) study of N=1007 community adults (age 22–60). Daytime sleepiness was assessed with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Use of different substances was assessed with the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). The present analyses examined use within the past month of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines, inhalants, sedatives, hallucinogens, and illicit opioids. A separate item assessed caffeine. Ordinal logistic regression analyzed ESS score as a predictor of frequency of substance use adjusted for age, sex, education, and race/ethnicity. Additional models included habitual sleep duration and score on the PHQ9 depression scale.
Results
In sociodemographically-adjusted analyses, ESS score was associated with an increased risk of using tobacco (OR=1.04, p=0.015), cannabis (OR=1.04, p=0.014), cocaine (OR=1.07, p=0.009), amphetamines (OR=1.06, p=0.025), inhalants (OR=1.13, p=0.002), sedatives (OR=1.07, p=0.003), hallucinogens (OR=1.12, p=0.001), and opioids (OR=1.12, p=0.0001). Controlling for sleep duration did not significantly affect these relationships, while controlling for depression made every association non-significant except hallucinogens (OR=1.09, p=0.040).
Conclusion
Daytime sleepiness was associated with increased use of nearly all drug categories, but not alcohol or caffeine. Public consumption of alcohol and caffeine might be sufficiently common that the presence of their use cannot be adequately associated with sleepiness. Moreover, the increased frequency of drug use with sleepiness is not linked to sleep deprivation but may reflect emotional distress.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Mobile phone use at night is associated with worse sleep quality. It may also be associated with daytime productivity, possibly via anxiety.
Methods
Data were obtained from the Sleep and Healthy Activity, Diet, Environment, and Socialization (SHADES) study, including N=1007 adults age 22–60. Mobile device use in bed was assessed as the frequency that participants reported: a device in the bedroom, use of the device in bed, texting, emails, internet browsing, calls, and/or social networking in bed, being woken up by the device in a planned (alarm) or unplanned (alert/call/message) way, and checking the phone at night. Each of these were coded as “never,” “rarely,” or “often.” Work productivity was assessed with the Well-Being Assessment of Productivity (WBA-P; scores 0–22 measure productivity loss). Regressions with WBA-P score as outcome and mobile phone variables as predictors were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, and income level. Post-hoc analyses included GAD7 score to examine the mediating role of anxiety.
Results
The presence of a device was not associated with productivity loss, but frequent use (“often”) was (B=1.26,p=0.01). Increased productivity loss was also seen in those who frequently (“often”) sent texts (B=1.20,p=0.008), browsed internet (B=1.14,p=0.01), emailed (B=2.09,p<0.0005), called (B=1.42,p=0.004), and used social media (B=1.26,p=0.004). Productivity loss was associated with being woken by a call/alert “rarely” (B=1.20,p=0.001) or “often” (B=1.72,p=0.005), but not by alarm. Checking the phone at night “rarely” (B=0.89,p=0.01) and “often” (B=1.73,p<0.0005) were also associated with productivity loss. When anxiety was entered into the model, all relationships except those with frequent emails and calls in bed became nonsignificant.
Conclusion
Anxiety may be the underlying cause for both increased mobile phone usage and reduced productivity. Reducing anxiety levels may indirectly aid in decreasing nighttime mobile phone use and increasing daytime productivity.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Female menstrual health and its relationship to sleep duration, quality, fatigue and other factors is an understudied subject in the field of sleep and women’s health. Few studies examined sleep in relation to menstrual regularity and bleeding.
Methods
Data were obtained from N=579 women who have had a menstrual period in the past 12 months who participated in the Sleep and Health Activity, Diet, Environment, and Socialization (SHADES) study, a community-based sample of adults age 22-60 living in southeastern Pennsylvania. Participants were asked, “How regular is your period?” with response choices of “Very Regular,” “Mostly Regular,” “Fairly Regular,” and “Not Regular.” They were also asked, “How much bleeding do you usually experience during your period?” Responses were “Very Heavy,” “Medium,” “Light,” or “Very Light.” These were evaluated as ordinal outcomes. Sleep-related predictors included sleep duration (<=6h [Short], 7-8 [Normal], and >=9 [Long]), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) score. Covariates included age, education, income, race/ethnicity, and body mass index.
Results
Short sleep duration was associated with a greater likelihood of heavier bleeding (OR=1.46, p=0.026) and greater irregularity (OR=1.44, p=0.031), compared to Normal sleep. Higher PSQI score was associated with more irregularity (OR=1.05, p=0.022). FSS score was associated with both heavier bleeding (OR=1.02, p=0.003) and more irregularity (OR=1.02, p=0.008). Long sleep, ISI, and ESS were not associated with either outcome. A sleep duration by FSS score interaction was found for irregularity (p=0.1). Among Normal sleepers, FSS was associated with greater irregularity, but not among Short sleepers.
Conclusion
There is a relationship between short sleep and heavier and irregular menses. These findings have implications for treating sleep problems among women. Also, mechanisms of these associations should be explored further.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Mobile technology use in bed is becoming commonplace and associated with habitual short sleep duration. The present study examined whether device use at night was related to mental health.
Methods
Data from the Sleep and Healthy Activity, Diet, Environment, and Socialization (SHADES) study comes from a community-based sample, which was restricted to N=473 between the ages of 22-29. Device use was assessed as presence in the room at night, any use at night, texting, emailing, browsing the internet, making or receiving calls, and using social media. Participants were also asked how often they are woken by a call/alert from their phone (unplanned), how often they are woken by their phone alarm (planned), and how often they check their phone at night. These were recorded as never, rarely, some nights, almost every night, and every night, and were assessed as an ordinal outcome. Predictors included score on the Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ9), GAD7 anxiety scale, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Ordinal logistic regression analyses were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, and income.
Results
Depression was associated with texting (oOR=1.03, p=0.025), email (oOR=1.03, p=0.022), internet (oOR=1.05, p=0.003), unplanned awakenings (oOR=1.05, p=0.001), and checking the phone (oOR=1.09, p<0.0005). Anxiety was associated with texting (oOR=1.05, p=0.001), email (oOR=1.05, p=0.001), internet (oOR=1.05, p=0.002), social media (oOR=1.04, p=0.009), unplanned awakenings (oOR=1.06, p<0.0005), planned awakenings (oOR=1.04, p=0.025), and checking the phone (oOR=1.10, p<0.0005). Perceived stress was associated with internet (oOR=1.02, p=0.034), unplanned awakenings (oOR=1.02, p=0.045), and checking (oOR=1.04, p<0.0005). Social support was associated with decreased checking (oOR=0.98, p=0.018).
Conclusion
Mobile device use at night itself is not associated with mental health, but specific activities may be. Also, those who report more disruptions from the device and more checking of the device also report worse mental health. Relationships might be bidirectional.

Abstract
Theories beyond the standard model often predict the existence of an additional neutral boson, the Z^{'}. Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible decay of a Z^{'} in the process e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}Z^{'} and of a lepton-flavor-violating Z^{'} in e^{+}e^{-}→e^{±}μ^{∓}Z^{'}. We do not find any excess of events and set 90% credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an L_{μ}-L_{τ} theory, into upper limits on the Z^{'} coupling constant at the level of 5×10^{-2}-1 for M_{Z^{'}}≤6 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited data on deliberate teaching of residents in the clinic setting; we sought to investigate the clinic experience at our institution and improve education through creation of a novel "Resident-Optimized Clinic" (ROC). METHODS An online survey was sent separately to residents and faculty. Based on the results of this survey a modified ROC was developed to try to improve the obstacles to learning in clinic. RESULTS Qualitative analysis revealed the barriers in clinic were inconsistencies in expectations, lack of autonomy, time, and facility limitations. The modified ROC was rated positively with 100% of participants expressing they had sufficient time and autonomy; and 90% felt the environment was optimized for teaching. CONCLUSIONS Multiple themes have been identified as problematic for the clinic education experience. The ROC was rated positively by trainees suggesting thoughtful intervention to improve clinic results in a better clinic experience and more educational gain from the clinic environment.

Abstract
Background: The Master of Cancer Sciences brings together the academic strength of the University of Melbourne (UoM) and world leading content experts from the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC), to develop an innovative, interactive, evidence-based flagship educational program in cancer sciences. This program will enhance the capabilities of health professionals, in the rapidly evolving field of cancer research and clinical care. It will be wholly online and nested with qualification points at Specialist Certificate, Graduate Certificate and Masters Level to provide flexible progression and study options for practitioners in the cancer care workforce. Specific modular content from each subject will also be repurposed and repackaged as a series of derivative educational activities such as massive open online courses (MOOCs), workshops and webinars; broadening the reach of the masters programming to all. Aim: The aim of this program is to be the first cancer-specific, multidisciplinary, flexible, and wholly online master's program of its kind offered within Australia, and one of two available worldwide. Graduates will possess an unprecedented breadth of integrated cancer knowledge and skills. This initiative will unify the VCCC alliance partners as they contribute to directly supporting a world-class cancer workforce and provide best practice care to patients. Discussion: This presentation will explore the educational development process involved in developing the ten online subjects, through the engagement of content writing teams to collaborative development and repurposing modules into a series of derivative educational activities. Ultimately the graduate programs and their derivative educational activities will contribute to lifelong learning, ongoing professional development and high quality healthcare for better patient outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction/background: There is a rapidly increasing population of people living with and beyond cancer due to ageing and improvements in detection and treatment. This has impacted on the complexity of the primary care practitioners' role in managing cancer survivorship. The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) was developed to address this need for a sustainable education model. Aim/Objectives: The Cancer Survivorship for Primary Care Practitioners program aims to enhance the knowledge and skills in the transition of survivors from oncology treatment into shared care. The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre's (VCCC) goal was to develop a freely accessible, relevant, flexible, evidence based and sustainable resource for a global audience. Methods: Aimed at primary healthcare practitioners including general practitioners, nurses (general practice nurses, community nurses and nurse practitioners) and allied health professionals; the program was developed to adhere to best practice survivorship care in the areas of: survivorship fundamentals; communication and coordination of care; promoting self-management, psychosocial and community-based support; surveillance, long term and late effects; and new and emergent technologies. The MOOC is contextualised in the narrative of a patient story and includes a series of real patient stories, interactive presentations, interviews, readings, online discussions, quizzes and peer reviewed assessments. Alumni from the program will contribute to a growing community of practice and contribute to the teaching and quality improvement of the program. An online survey will be distributed to all participants before and after their completion of the program. Paired tests will be conducted and compared for the participant craft groups that attend the MOOC. We will measure the effect of participation in either the MOOC and/or workshop on confidence, knowledge and intention to change practice. Results: A description of the sustainable MOOC delivery model and evaluation results from the first cohort will be presented. Conclusion: The program will deliver an innovative and sustainable professional development opportunity for PCPs in response to the evolving population health landscape. Alumni from the program will contribute to a growing community of practice and contribute to the teaching and quality improvement of the program.

Abstract
Aims Informed patient consent is a legal prerequisite endorsed by multiple regulatory institutions including the Royal College of Surgeons and the General Medical Council. It is also recommended that the provision of written information is available and may take the form of a Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) with multiple PILs available from leading orthopaedic institutions. PILs may empower the patient, improve compliance, and improve the patient experience. The national reading age in the United Kingdom is less than 12 years and therefore PILs should be written at a readability level not exceeding 12 years old. We aim to assess the readability of PILs currently provided by United Kingdom orthopaedic institutions. Patients and Methods The readability of PILs on 58 common conditions provided by seven leading orthopaedic associations in January 2017, including the British Orthopaedic Association, British Hip Society, and the British Association of Spinal Surgeons, was assessed. All text in each PIL was analyzed using readability scores including the Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) and the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) test. Results The mean FKGL was 10.4 (6.7 to 17.0), indicating a mean reading age of 15 years. The mean SMOG score was 12.8 (9.7 to 17.9) indicating a mean reading age of 17 years. Conclusion Orthopaedic-related PILs do not comply with the recommended reading age, with some requiring graduate-level reading ability. Patients do not have access to appropriate orthopaedic-related PILs. Current publicly available PILs require further review to promote patient education and informed consent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterised by a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass. It adversely influences quality of life, treatment response and survival. Early identification and multimodal interventions can potentially treat cancer cachexia. However, healthcare professionals demonstrate a lack of understanding and the ability to identify cancer cachexia early. The present study aimed to evaluate the assessment by physicians of nutritional status in cancer patients admitted to hospice. METHODS A retrospective medical record review was conducted on all cancer admissions to a specialist in-patient palliative care unit over a 4-month period between October 2016 and January 2017. Charts were reviewed for evidence of documented nutritional assessment by physicians. Data were collected from the referral letter, admission notes, drug kardex and discharge letter. The information extracted included: (i) patient demographics and characteristics; (ii) terms used by physicians to describe nutritional status; (iii) any record of nutritional impact symptoms (NIS) experienced by the patient; and (iv) nutritional interventions prescribed. RESULTS One hundred and forty admissions were evaluated. Nutritional terminology and NIS were most commonly documented on the admission notes. Only 41% of documents recorded any nutritional term used by physicians to assess nutritional status. Furthermore, 71% of documents recorded at least one NIS experienced by the patient. Fatigue was the most frequent NIS. CONCLUSIONS We identified an inadequate nutritional assessment of cancer patients admitted to hospice. Implementation of a nutritional symptom checklist and nutrition screening tools, along with enhanced physician education and multidisciplinary nutrition care, could improve the identification and management of cancer cachexia in the palliative care setting.

Abstract
CONTEXT Randomized controlled trials in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have shown that regular exercise, even without calorie restriction, reduces liver steatosis. A previous study has shown that 16 weeks of supervised exercise training in NAFLD did not affect total very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) kinetics. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine the effect of exercise training on intrahepatocellular fat (IHCL) and the kinetics of large triglyceride (TG)-rich VLDL1 and smaller denser VLDL2, which has a lower TG content. DESIGN This was a 16-week randomized controlled trial. PATIENTS A total of 27 sedentary patients with NAFLD participated in the trial. INTERVENTION The intervention was composed of supervised exercise with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or conventional lifestyle advice (control). MAIN OUTCOME VLDL1 and VLDL2-TG and apolipoprotein B (apoB) kinetics were investigated using stable isotopes before and after the intervention. RESULTS In the exercise group, maximal oxygen uptake increased by 31% ± 6% (mean ± SEM) and IHCL decreased from 19.6% (14.8%, 30.0%) to 8.9% (5.4%, 17.3%) (median [interquartile range]) with no significant change in maximal oxygen uptake or IHCL in the control group (change between groups, P < .001 and P = .02, respectively). Exercise training increased VLDL1-TG and apoB fractional catabolic rates, a measure of clearance, (change between groups, P = .02 and P = .01, respectively), and VLDL1-apoB production rate (change between groups, P = .006), with no change in VLDL1-TG production rate. Plasma TG did not change in either group. CONCLUSION An increased clearance of VLDL1 may contribute to the significant decrease in liver fat after 16 weeks of exercise in NAFLD. A longer duration or higher-intensity exercise interventions may be needed to lower the plasma TG and VLDL production rate.

Abstract
It is accepted that discharged wastewaters can be a significant source of pathogenic viruses in receiving water bodies contributing to pollution and may in turn enter the human food chain and pose a risk to human health, thus norovirus (NoV) is often a predominant cause of gastroenteritis globally. Working with NoV poses particular challenges as it cannot be readily identified and detection by molecular methods does not assess infectivity. It has been proposed that the infectivity of NoV may be modelled through the use of an alternative virus; F-specific RNA (FRNA) bacteriophages; GA genotype and other FRNA bacteriophages have been used as a surrogate in studies of NoV inactivation. This study investigated the efficiency of novel pulsed ultraviolet irradiation and low pressure ultraviolet irradiation as a potential pathogen inactivation system for NoV and FRNA bacteriophage (GA) in secondary treated wastewaters. The role of UV dose and the impact of suspended solids concentration on removal efficiency were also examined. The study also investigated the role of settlement processes in wastewater treatment plants in removing NoV. While NoV inactivation could not be determined it was found that at a maximum UV dose of 6.9J/cm(2) (6900mJ/cm(2)) an average 2.4 log removal of FRNA bacteriophage (GA) was observed; indicating the potential need for high UV doses to remove NoV if FRNA bacteriophage prove a suitable indicator for NoV. The study found that increasing concentrations of suspended solids impacted on PUV efficiency however, it appears the extent of the impact may be site specific. Furthermore, the study found that settlement processes can play a significant role in the removal of FRNA bacteriophage, thus potentially NoV.

Abstract
Elevated pressures within the carpal canal are known to occur after distal radius fractures. Controversy exists regarding prophylactic carpal tunnel release after open reduction with internal fixation of distal radius fractures. The purpose of this study was to determine the tissue pressures within the carpal canal after volar plating of distal radius fractures. This study was a prospective, observational, IRB approved research study. Ten consecutive patients undergoing volar plating of distal radius fractures were enrolled. After the distal radius fractures were reduced and fixed with volar plates, slit catheters were inserted into the carpal canals for continuous postoperative pressure monitoring for 24 hours. The maximum recorded pressure was 65 mmHg, which occurred in the only patient with fracture blisters. Peak pressures remained at 40 mmHg or less (range 16–40, mean 29) in all patients without fracture blisters. At the conclusion of data collection, all pressures were at 31 mmHg or less. No patient complained of median nerve dysfunction during the study period. Routine prophylactic carpal tunnel release is not recommended after volar plating of distal radius fractures based on these pressure recordings.

Abstract
The nitrite reductase (nirS and nirK) and nitrous oxide reductase-encoding (nosZ) genes of denitrifying populations present in an agricultural grassland soil were quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. Samples from three separate pedological depths at the chosen site were investigated: horizon A (0-10 cm), horizon B (45-55 cm), and horizon C (120-130 cm). The effect of carbon addition (treatment 1, control; treatment 2, glucose-C; treatment 3, dissolved organic carbon (DOC)) on denitrifier gene abundance and N2O and N2 fluxes was determined. In general, denitrifier abundance correlated well with flux measurements; nirS was positively correlated with N2O, and nosZ was positively correlated with N2 (P < 0.03). Denitrifier gene copy concentrations per gram of soil (GCC) varied in response to carbon type amendment (P < 0.01). Denitrifier GCCs were high (ca. 10(7)) and the bac:nirK, bac:nirS, bac:nir (T) , and bac:nosZ ratios were low (ca. 10(-1)/10) in horizon A in all three respective treatments. Glucose-C amendment favored partial denitrification, resulting in higher nir abundance and higher N2O fluxes compared to the control. DOC amendment, by contrast, resulted in relatively higher nosZ abundance and N2 emissions, thus favoring complete denitrification. We also noted soil depth directly affected bacterial, archaeal, and denitrifier abundance, possibly due to changes in soil carbon availability with depth.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease. Various disease-related and patient-related factors have been shown to influence the course of the disease. The aim of this study was to identify novel biomarkers of significant clinical relevance. Pretreatment CD19-separated lymphocytes (n=237; discovery set) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (n=92; validation set) from the REACH trial, a randomized phase III trial in relapsed CLL comparing rituximab plus fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide with fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide alone, underwent gene expression profiling. By using Cox regression survival analysis on the discovery set, we identified inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase F (INPP5F) as a prognostic factor for progression-free survival (P<0.001; hazard ratio (HR), 1.63; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.35–1.98) and overall survival (P<0.001; HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.18–1.84), regardless of adjusting for known prognostic factors. These findings were confirmed on the validation set, suggesting that INPP5F may serve as a novel, easy-to-assess future prognostic biomarker for fludarabine-based therapy in CLL.
