Abstract
AIM Socio-economic deprivation encompasses the relative disadvantage experienced by individuals or communities in relation to financial, material or social resources. Nature-based interventions (NBIs) are a public health approach that promote sustainable, healthy communities through engagement with nature and show potential to address inequalities experienced by socio-economically deprived communities. This narrative review aims to identify and evaluate the benefits of NBIs in socio-economically deprived communities. METHOD A systematic literature search of six electronic publication databases (APA PsycInfo, CENTRAL, CDSR, CINAHL, Medline and Web of Science) was conducted on 5 February 2021 and repeated on 30 August 2022. In total, 3852 records were identified and 18 experimental studies (published between 2015 and 2022) were included in this review. RESULTS Interventions including therapeutic horticulture, care farming, green exercise and wilderness arts and craft were evaluated in the literature. Key benefits were observed for cost savings, diet diversity, food security, anthropometric outcomes, mental health outcomes, nature visits, physical activity and physical health. Age, gender, ethnicity, level of engagement and perception of environment safety influenced the effectiveness of the interventions. CONCLUSION Results demonstrate there are clear benefits of NBIs on economic, environmental, health and social outcomes. Further research including qualitative analyses, more stringent experimental designs and use of standardised outcome measures is recommended.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease with an average age-of-onset of ∼60 years and is usually fatal within 2-5 years of diagnosis. Mouse models based upon single gene mutations do not recapitulate all ALS pathological features. Environmental insults may also contribute to ALS, and β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is an environmental toxin linked with an increased risk of developing ALS. BMAA, along with cycasin, are hypothesized to be the cause of the Guam-ALS epicenter of the 1950s. We developed a multihit model based on low expression of a dominant familial ALS TDP-43 mutation (Q331K) and chronic low-dose BMAA exposure. Our two-hit mouse model displayed a motor phenotype absent from either lesion alone. By LC/MS analysis, free BMAA was confirmed at trace levels in brain, and were as high as 405 ng/mL (free) and 208 ng/mL (protein-bound) in liver. Elevated BMAA levels in liver were associated with dysregulation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway. Our data represent initial steps towards an ALS mouse model resulting from combined genetic and environmental insult.

Abstract
A new type of compact high-resolution high-sensitivity gamma-ray spectrometer for short-pulse intense gamma-rays (250 keV to 50 MeV) has been developed by combining the principles of scintillators and attenuation spectrometers. The first prototype of this scintillator attenuation spectrometer (SAS) was tested successfully in Trident laser experiments at LANL. Later versions have been used extensively in the Texas Petawatt laser experiments in Austin, TX, and more recently in OMEGA-EP laser experiments at LLE, Rochester, NY. The SAS is particularly useful for high-repetition-rate laser applications. Here, we give a concise description of the design principles, capabilities, and sample preliminary results of the SAS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Optimising glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains challenging. Flash glucose monitoring with FreeStyle Libre 2 (FSL2) is a novel alternative to the current standard of care self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). No randomised controlled trials to date have explored the potential benefits of FSL2 in T1D. We aim to assess the impact of FSL2 in people with suboptimal glycaemic control T1D in comparison with SMBG. METHODS This open-label, multicentre, randomised (via stochastic minimisation), parallel design study conducted at eight UK secondary and primary care centres will aim to recruit 180 people age ≥16 years with T1D for >1 year and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) 7.5%-11%. Eligible participants will be randomised to 24 weeks of FSL2 (intervention) or SMBG (control) periods, after 2-week of blinded sensor wear. Participants will be assessed virtually or in-person owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. HbA1c will be measured at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks (primary outcome). Participants will be contacted at 4 and 12 weeks for glucose optimisation. Control participants will wear a blinded sensor during the last 2 weeks. Psychosocial outcomes will be measured at baseline and 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes include sensor-based metrics, insulin doses, adverse events and self-report psychosocial measures. Utility, acceptability, expectations and experience of using FSL2 will be explored. Data on health service resource utilisation will be collected. ANALYSIS Efficacy analyses will follow intention-to-treat principle. Outcomes will be analysed using analysis of covariance, adjusted for the baseline value of the corresponding outcome, minimisation factors and other known prognostic factors. Both within-trial and life-time economic evaluations, informed by modelling from the perspective of the National Health Service setting, will be performed. ETHICS The study was approved by Greater Manchester West Research Ethics Committee (reference 19/NW/0081). Informed consent will be sought from all participants. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03815006. PROTOCOL VERSION 4.0 dated 29 June 2020.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by pathogenic antinuclear autoantibodies, which are secreted by autoreactive plasma cells. Among novel plasma cell-depleting strategies, CD38 has been identified as promising target. The monoclonal anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab is approved for treatment of multiple myeloma and provided a therapeutically relevant depletion of plasma cells in patients with SLE1.Objectives:Beyond plasma cells, CD38 is widely expressed across innate and adaptive immune cells and additional cellular targets of anti-CD38 treatment, especially in patients with SLE, are largely unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically characterize the expression of CD38 in peripheral blood leukocytes to identify potential target cells of CD38-directed therapies that may contribute to or limit therapeutic benefits in SLE.Methods:We analyzed the expression of CD38 on peripheral blood leukocytes in two different cohorts, comprising a total of 56 SLE patients and 39 healthy controls, by flow and mass cytometry. CD38 expression levels across major immune cells were analyzed for changes between controls and SLE, as well as for correlation across immune cell lineages, and with clinical and serological disease parameters.Results:We detected increased CD38 expression levels on circulating NK cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells, as well as IgD-CD27- and marginal zone-like B cells in SLE compared to healthy controls. In myeloid and NK cells, CD38 expression was associated with an activated cellular phenotype, reflected by co-expression of molecules such as HLA-DR, CD11c or Syk. In the B cell compartment, IgA- plasmablasts and plasma cells expressed more CD38 than their IgA+ counterparts. Also, HLA-DRhigh plasmablasts showed higher CD38 expression compared to HLA-DRlow plasma cells. The strongest differences in CD38 expression between controls and SLE were found in CD8+ central and effector memory T cells. Additionally, we detected an expansion in CD38high and CD38int cells in the T cell memory compartment, with some patients showing distinctly increased expression values. We observed a high intra-individual correlation of CD38 expression across immune cell lineages, yet without correlation of CD38 expression levels with clinical activity (SLEDAI-2K), serological markers of SLE or the type I interferon surrogate marker CD169 (SIGLEC-1).Conclusion:Our data indicate that not only pathogenic plasma cells are potential target cells of CD38-targeting antibodies. The highly dysregulated CD38 expression across innate and adaptive immune cells in SLE could be of pathophysiological importance with respect to the potential efficacy and side effects of such therapies. Since CD38 expression did not correlate with disease activity, it may be assumed that it is not a response protein solely induced and modulated by type I interferons. Nevertheless, our comprehensive characterization of CD38 expression in the immune system might have important implications for personalized approaches with emerging CD38-directed therapeutics.References:[1]Ostendorf, L. et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tiger beetles are a widely distributed group including species that may be exposed to sub-freezing temperature overwinter. Despite being well studied, little is known about tiger beetle cold tolerance. OBJECTIVE We investigated seasonal changes in cold hardiness of two northerly distributed tiger beetle species (Cicindela repanda and Cicindela limbalis). MATERIALS AND METHODS We monitored the supercooling point (SCP), glycerol concentration, and hemolymph osmolality of adult tiger beetles during a 3.5-month acclimation to winter. RESULTS SCP decreased during winter acclimation for C. repanda, but not for C. limbalis. Both species modestly increased glycerol concentration, and C. repanda increased hemolymph osmolality by 38%. CONCLUSION This initial investigation into the cold-hardiness of adult tiger beetles suggests that they are capable of lowering their SCP as winter approaches, which may help them survive sub-freezing winter temperatures. Further assessment of their chill and freeze tolerance and of their overwintering conditions in the field is needed to better understand their winter physiology.

Abstract
This review outlines the processes followed by New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) when developing its Thoroughbred Welfare Assessment Guidelines. It accepted that guidance on welfare management must be based on up-to-date knowledge of how animal welfare is understood scientifically. NZTR established an expert panel to facilitate this process. First, major changes in animal welfare science thinking over the last 40 years were considered. For example, the separate biological function and affective state orientations were later accepted as dynamically interacting elements within the body operating as an integrated whole entity; conceptual problems with the Five Freedoms framework led to the formulation of the Five Provisions and Welfare Aims paradigm and development of the Five Domains Model for assessing nutritional, environmental, health, behavioural and mental facets of animal welfare; and the initial major focus on negative experiences evolved to include both negative and positive experiences. The Five Domains Model was very effective for illustrating up-to-date understanding of animal welfare and its use demonstrated how comprehensive animal welfare assessments may be conducted. The NZTR panel followed a sequential approach that included an update on animal welfare thinking and the Five Provisions and Welfare Aims paradigm; the generic Five Domains Model was refocused specifically on equids; a detailed model assessment of equine welfare practices was conducted; enhanced equine welfare practices were emphasised by comparing them to inadequate welfare practices; guidelines were framed in terms which provide domain-specific advice on provisions that achieve positive welfare; other domain-specific guidelines were focused on welfare-compromising consequences of inadequate provisions; and welfare-appropriate conditions were clarified for all stages of a Thoroughbred's life cycle (in work and rest) to facilitate exercising a life-long duty of care. Finally, the guidelines were expressed in general terms to avoid them becoming overly detailed and unwieldy. They therefore do not address specific welfare issues such as use of whips, bits, spurs and tight nosebands, however the Five Domains Model may also be used for these specific purposes. The guidelines, and the way they were formulated, provide an example of one approach which other organisations may find immediately useful, or which may stimulate them to devise their own approaches when progressing such equine welfare initiatives.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) is associated with poor outcomes after surgical aortic valve replacement, but evidence in the era of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is small. Although PPM is conventionally defined by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) derived indexed effective orifice area (EOAi), TTE may underestimate left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area when compared with cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Purpose
To evaluate the inter-modality (TTE vs CTA) agreement and inter-valve (balloon-expanding valve (BEV) vs. self-expandable valve (SEV)) differences in EOAi and the severity of PPM after TAVR.
Methods
We analyzed all patients who underwent TAVR between 2015 to 2017and who had both of CTA and TTE at 30-days after TAVR. EOAi was calculated using the continuity equation and then indexed to body surface area as per guidelines using TTE derived LVOT diameter (EOAi-TTE) or post-procedure CTA derived LVOT area (EOAi-CTA). The external LVOT diameter was measured at inflow of TAVR bioprosthetic stent frame as per recommendations. The EOAi was used to define the grading severity of PPM: None (> 0.85 cm²/m²); Moderate (0.65 to 0.85 cm²/m²); and Severe (< 0.65 cm²/m²). Paired or Student t-test and Chi-square test were used to assess the inter-modality and inter-valve difference.
Results
A total of 280 patients were included (the mean age, 81.2 ± 8.1 years; 48%, female). BEV was used in 150 patients (54%). The mean EOAi-TTE vs. EOAi-CTA was 1.00 ± 0.32 and 1.41 ± 0.50 cm²/m², respectively, p < 0.001. Prevalence of severe (TTE 9% versus CTA 4%, p < 0.01) and moderate (TTE 28% versus CTA 7%, p < 0.01) PPM was lower when adjudicated by CTA (Figure-Panel A). There was a trends towards smaller EOAi by either TTE (0.97 ± 0.31 vs. 1.04 ± 0.33, p = 0.07) or CTA (1.38 ± 0.45 vs. 1.46 ± 0.56, p = 0.21) for BEV vs. SEV (Figure-Panel B). There was no significant difference in the severity of PPM defined by either EOAi-TTE (Figure-Panel C) or EOAi-CTA (Figure-Panel D) between these patients.
Conclusion
EOAi-CTA was larger and downgraded the severity of PPM than the EOAi-TTE. There was no significant difference in the severity of PPM defined by post-procedure CT between patients treated with BEV and those with SEV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
Response latencies in naming visually displayed numbers were measured for 20 Ss under control and alcohol treatments. The size of the stimulus pool was varied by sets of trials to produce stimulus-response uncertainty in the range 0 to 5 bits. Response latencies were a function of the amount of uncertainty, but alcohol impairment was not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer caregiving has emerged as a dominant focus of research in recent years. A striking feature of this vast amount of literature is that it is static, examining certain points of the cancer trajectory, mostly the diagnosis and palliative care. Only The Cancer Caregiving Experience Model conceptualised the caregiving experience and explored the conceptual implications of cancer family caregiving research. AIM The data from this paper aim to empirically support the Cancer Caregiving Experience model, by exploring the cancer caregiving experience longitudinally. METHODS Semi-structured interviews with 53 caregivers were carried out at patient's diagnosis (T1), 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3) and 12 months (T4) post diagnosis. RESULTS Analysis of 139 interviews generated four themes that reflected a complex and dynamic process. The themes that mapped those of the model were "Primary stressors", "Secondary stressors", "Appraisal", "Cognitive-Behavioural responses" and "Health and Well Being". CONCLUSIONS The study adds empirical support to The Cancer Caregiving Experience Model and confirms that different primary and secondary stressors influence how the caregivers perceive the caregiving demands, the coping mechanisms they employ and their health and well being during the cancer trajectory. Access to support services should be offered to all the caregivers from as early as the diagnosis period and take into account their specific needs.

Abstract
Abstract
Two recent observations have connected the innate immune DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B to the genetic evolution of breast cancer. First, APOBEC3B was shown to be up-regulated in the majority of breast cancers, and, in breast cancer cell lines, its activity was causally linked to a doubling of the number of C-to-T transitions over time and to a delay in cell cycle progression (1). Second, sequencing of the complete genome of 21 breast cancers independently suggested that APOBEC deaminase activity could be responsible for 2 of 5 mutational imprints identified, which involved clustered (also called kataegis) and dispersed C-to-T transition mutations in the context of 5’TC dinucleotide motifs (2).
In the current study, we addressed a possible association of APOBEC3B expression with outcome in clinical breast cancer. For this we measured using real-time RT-PCR APOBEC3B mRNA levels in 1,491 primary invasive breast cancers and correlated these levels with disease-free survival (DFS), metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) using univariate and multivariable Cox regression analysis. In addition, we independently validated our findings in available gene expression datasets with appropriate follow-up.
In univariate analyses including all patients, increasing levels of APOBEC3B mRNA analyzed as a continuous variable were significantly associated with shorter DFS, MFS and OS (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 1.29, 1.31 and 1.36, respectively, all P<0.001). To determine the relation of APOBEC3B mRNA expression with the natural course of the disease without the potential confounding effects of systemic adjuvant therapy, we restricted our next analyses to MFS in 829 patients with lymph node-negative disease who had not received any (neo)adjuvant systemic therapy. This analysis showed that APOBEC3B mRNA expression was, in univariate, and in multivariable analysis, including the traditional prognostic factors (age, menopausal status, tumor size, grade and steroid hormone receptors), a marker of pure prognosis specifically in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) disease (univariate HR = 1.30; P = 0.003; multivariate HR = 1.22, P = 0.042).
To substantiate and validate our findings, we analysed 4 independent available datasets containing in total 5,760 breast cancer cases in which APOBEC3B mRNA expression was measured by probes on microarrays and found that higher APOBEC3B mRNA expression (dichotomised by mean) was significantly associated with poor outcome in all 4 cohorts ([Metabric, 1,491 ER+ cases, HR = 1.82; P<0.001], [Affymetrix compiled dataset-1, 2,407 cases, HR = 2.22; P = 0.001], and [BIG 1-98; 1,207 cases, HR = 2.13; P<0.001 of late recurrence>5 years], and [Affymetrix dataset-2, 643 ER+ cases, HR = 2.04; P = 0.001]).
Altogether, our analyses show that APOBEC3B mRNA - and as a result likely DNA deamination – is a validated predictor of poor outcome in breast cancer, supporting the notion that APOBEC3B is a potentially interesting clinical target for therapeutic intervention to prevent breast cancer progression and metastasis, particularly in ER+ disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy plus radiotherapy is the standard of care for patients with limited stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Radiotherapy is evolving from involved field radiotherapy (IFRT) to involved node radiotherapy (INRT) to decrease radiotherapy-related morbidity. In the absence of long-term toxicity data, dose-volume metrics of organs at risk (OAR) provide a surrogate measure of toxicity risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten female patients with stage I-IIA supradiaphragmatic HL were randomly selected. All patients had pre-chemotherapy computerised tomography (CT) and CT-positron emission tomography staging. Using CT planning, three radiotherapy plans were produced per patient: (i) IFRT, (ii) INRT using parallel-opposed beams and (iii) INRT using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Radiotherapy dose was 30.6 Gy in 1.8 Gy fractions. OAR evaluated were lungs, breasts, thyroid, heart and coronary arteries. RESULTS Compared with IFRT, INRT significantly reduced mean doses to lungs (P < 0.01), breasts (P < 0.01), thyroid (P < 0.01) and heart (P < 0.01), on Wilcoxon testing. Compared with conventional INRT, VMAT improved dose conformality but increased low-dose radiation exposure to lungs and breasts. VMAT reduced the heart volume receiving 30 Gy (V30) by 85%. CONCLUSIONS Reduction from IFRT to INRT decreased the volumes of lungs, breasts and thyroid receiving high-dose radiation, suggesting the potential to reduce long-term second malignancy risks. VMAT may be useful for patients with pre-existing heart disease by minimising further cardiac toxicity risks.

Abstract
Ensuring foods are correctly labelled for ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is an issue facing manufacturers, retailers, and enforcement agencies. DNA approaches for the determination of food authenticitys often use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and PCR products can be detected using capillary or gel electrophoresis. This study examines the fitness for purpose of the application of three laboratory electrophoresis instruments (Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, Lab901 TapeStation, and Shimadzu MCE-202 MultiNA) for the detection of GMOs using PCR based on a previously validated protocol. Whilst minor differences in the performance characteristics of bias and precision were observed, all three instruments demonstrated their applicability in using this protocol for screening of GMO ingredients.

Abstract
523 Background: Preclinically, mTOR and EGFR inhibitors are synergistic. We hypothesize that the mTOR inhibitor RAD001 would enhance efficacy and prevent resistance when added to an anti-EGFR agent. The purpose of the phase I portion of this study was to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of daily RAD001 combined with weekly Iri and C in mCRC. Methods: Pts who failed first-line therapy, including an Iri-regimen, were treated with Iri 125 mg/m2 weekly x 2 every 3 weeks, C 400 mg/m2 loading dose, then 250 mg/m2 weekly, and escalating doses of RAD001 orally: 5 mg qod, 5 mg qd and 10 mg qd during 21-day cycles, with a “3+3” design. The study was amended after the first 9 pts enrolled, to include stopping rules for excessive toxicity beyond what was expected for diarrhea, nausea/vomiting and febrile neutropenia due to Iri, and skin rash due to C. Enrollment excluded pts with UGT1A1*28, but allowed KRAS mutated mCRC. RAD001 PK was done on C2D1, and archival tumors were analyzed for pharmacodynamic markers. Results: 28 pts were enrolled, median age 61 y (25-77), 15 male, ECOG PS 0/1 (19/9). Reasons for treatment discontinuation were: PD (7), adverse events (AEs) (6), pt withdrawal, symptomatic deterioration and non-compliance (1 each). Prior to study's amendment* (n=9), 3 pts were not evaluable for DLT due to: Iri intolerance after one dose (1), non-compliance (1) and gr 3 C infusion reaction (1). DLTs and number of cycles are listed in Table. Following protocol amendment, 2 pts had DLT in cohort 3 (gr 3 mucositis), thus the MTD was 5 mg RAD001. The most common grade 3/4 AEs were: diarrhea (10), neutropenia (5), fatigue (4), acne-rash (4), mucositis (2), nausea (2), vomiting (1). Among 19 pts evaluable for response, there were 1 CR, 2 PR, (RR 16%), 9 SD (47%), 7 PD (37%). PK and pharmacodynamic data is ongoing. Conclusions: The MTD of RAD001 of 5 mg QD with Iri/C weekly is safe and clinically active. A randomized phase II study is near starting accrual. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
The transfer of neutrons onto 24Ne has been measured using a reaccelerated radioactive beam of 24Ne to study the (d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics. The unusual raising of the first 3/2+ level in 25Ne and its significance in terms of the migration of the neutron magic number from N=20 to N=16 is put on a firm footing by confirmation of this state's identity. The raised 3/2+ level is observed simultaneously with the intruder negative parity 7/2- and 3/2- levels, providing evidence for the reduction in the N=20 gap. The coincident gamma-ray decays allowed the assignment of spins as well as the transferred orbital angular momentum. The excitation energy of the 3/2+ state shows that the established USD shell model breaks down well within the sd model space and requires a revised treatment of the proton-neutron monopole interaction.

Abstract
This study analyzed biochemical biomarkers of freshwater and estuarine fish species from Southern Brazil. It analyzed three organs (muscle, liver and gills), in four fish species (Micropogonias furnieri, Pimelodus pintado, Loricariichthys anus and Parapimelodus nigribarbis) in order to perform an environmental diagnosis. Obtained results showed that liver of L. anus and gills of M. furnieri presented higher total antioxidant capacity against peroxyl radicals during fall, whereas a clear seasonality was found for gill reduced glutathione (GSH) levels of all studied species, with higher concentration during spring. In terms of oxidative damage (TBARS), liver of M. furnieri and gills of P. nigribarbis showed higher TBARS levels during fall, whereas P. pintado showed the lowest TBARS value. Finally, a conspicuous seasonal effect was observed for purified and non-purified glutathione-S-transferase (GST), where minimum values were registered during fall, pointing to this season as one where fish species are less competent to perform detoxifying reactions.

Abstract
Cancer survivorship has become a major issue due to people living longer with the effects of cancer treatment. A key issue in this area are the 'iatrogenic effects' of cancer treatments and their adverse impact on the quality of long-term patient survival. This paper considers the late physical effects of treatment for cervical cancer, in particular psychosocial problems associated with sexuality. The aim of this paper was to explore women's sexuality following treatment for cervical cancer. A qualitative phenomenological design was used to explore the lived experiences of a purposive sample of 13 women 2-3 years after treatment, using in-depth interviewing. The findings demonstrate that cancer treatment can result in a number of late physical effects, including bladder and bowel dysfunction. Moreover, the physical problems led to sexual difficulties experienced several years after treatment. Concerns were expressed by patients about perceived psychosexual difficulties encountered as a result of treatment. In conclusion, the study raises issues associated with the management of late treatment effects and its impact on sexuality. The findings underline the need for effective communication of possible iatrogenic effects of treatment during follow-up care and a need for research to consider the advice and information that women require about long-term treatment effects.

Abstract
7079 Background: Few prospective trials have been conducted in patients with advance thymic malignancies. Pemetrexed a multi-targeted antifolate with a broad range of clinical activity, but previously untested in thymic malignancies. As a result, a phase II trial was initiated to evaluate the clinical activity of pemetrexed in previously treated patients with thymoma (THY) and thymic carcinoma (TC). Methods: From February, 2005 to November, 2005, twenty-seven previously treated patients with unresectable stage IVA (n = 16) or stage IVB (n =11) disease were treated with pemetrexed at a dosage of 500 mg/m2 every three weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles or until undue toxicity or progressive disease. All patients received folic acid, vitamin B12 and steroid prophylaxis. Profile of patients include: median age = 52 years (range 26–84); M: F = 13:14; PS 0/1= 17/10; median number of prior therapies = 2 (range 1–6); 21 had prior radiation therapy; and histology (THY = 16, TC = 11). Results: The median number of cycles administered was 5 (range 1–6). Eleven patients had grade 3 toxicities including: dyspnea, infections, fatigue, abnormal chemistries and neutropenia. No Grade 4 toxicities were noted. Accrual was completed in November, 2005 with four patients still on therapy. In 23 fully evaluable patients, two complete and two partial responses (RECIST) were noted. All four responding patients had had stage IVA thymoma. Five patients progressed on therapy and two patients discontinued therapy for intolerance to chemotherapy (constipation, dyspnea) and 1 patient for progressive Morvan’s Syndrome. The median time to progression for all patients was 45 weeks (THY = 45.4 weeks vs. TC = 5.1 weeks). With three deaths thus far, the median overall survival has not been reached. Conclusions: Pemetrexed is an active agent in a heavily pretreated population of patients with recurrent thymoma. Patients with recurrent thymic carcinoma appear to have a much more aggressive clinical course than thymoma. [Table: see text]

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the post-treatment urinary morbidity experienced by a cohort of men undergoing ultrasound-based transperineal prostate brachytherapy, as monotherapy for early stage carcinoma of the prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty-four consecutive patients received prostate brachytherapy between March 2000 and July 2002, and were asked to complete the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) questionnaires before treatment and at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months after implant. Data on catheterisation and surgical interventions were also recorded. Pre-treatment IPSS, dosimetry and other variables were analysed in relation to catheterisation rates and post-treatment IPSS scores at each time window. RESULTS One hundred and eleven patients returned sufficient data for meaningful analysis. Of the patients who completed IPSS at 1 month, 85 (97%) reported deterioration in IPSS scores. This peak of symptoms, identified by a rise in median IPSS, started to improve by 3 months, and was approaching baseline by 18 months. The only significant determinants of early urinary toxicity were pre-treatment IPSS, pre-treatment prostate volume and the difficulty of implant. However, prostate volume was not significant beyond 1 month. Twenty-six patients required catheterisation at a median of 10 days after implant. Significant predictors of urinary retention were pre-treatment prostate volume and pre-treatment IPSS. Patients requiring catheterisation continued to have significantly higher IPSS at 18 months than patients who had never required a catheter. CONCLUSION Brachytherapy was generally well tolerated, with urinary toxicity in most patients persisting for at least 3-6 months after prostate brachytherapy. Those whose pre-treatment prostate volume and IPSS were high experienced more severe urinary symptoms in the first few months.

Abstract
Within secure psychiatric services, nurses trained to work with people with learning disabilities are often called upon to deal with those experiencing psychosis; a role that they are not routinely prepared for in generic learning disability nurse training. Psycho-social interventions (PSI) are recommended as an adjunct to routine pharmacological treatment for people experiencing psychosis. There is a small literature that suggests that PSI has utility with people with learning disabilities. As part of a wider evaluation of the introduction of a PSI framework to a 10-bedded medium-secure unit for men with learning disabilities and mental health problems, 13 members of nursing staff completed the 'Management of Schizophrenic Patients Checklist'. The responses were analysed using a grounded theory approach. Principle themes identified are described. The therapy vs. security quandary frequently reported in forensic psychiatry was evident in responses. The findings are guiding a programme of training and ongoing supervision within the service and are discussed in the context of wider therapeutic issues and institutional environment.

Abstract
Bovine embryo transfer is a multi-million dollar industry that relies on hyperstimulation of cattle ovaries with exogenous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This process is variable among donors, breeds, and embryo transfer organizations. Historically, donor cattle are administered FSH (IM; <15 to 50 mg) for 4 days and a luteolytic dose of prostaglandin F2� (PGF2�; IM; 25 mg twice daily) on Day 3. The presence of a functional corpus luteum (CL) is crucial for this protocol; however, there are embryo donor cattle that do not exhibit progesterone indicative of a functional CL. Experiment 1 was performed to determine whether the number of embryos and ovulations that could be generated from donors without a functional CL might be increased by progesterone supplementation via a vaginal insert (CIDR). Experiment 2 was performed to determine an optimal FSH (Sioux Biochemical, Inc., Sioux Center, IA, USA) dosage (high dose = 30 units, n = 9; low dose = 20 units, n = 7) for cattle without a functional CL. Embryos were collected nonsurgically by uterine lavage and were evaluated morphologically according to the IETS system. Progesterone concentrations were determined using an RIA on venous blood samples (10 mL). Ovulations (as evident by resulting CL) were counted using transrectal ultrasonography. Embryo, ovulation, and progesterone data were analyzed using ANOVA with SAS (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, USA), to evaluate the main effects of group and time (progesterone concentrations only). In Experiment 1, there was no difference in the number of high-quality embryos that were recovered from hyperstimulated (IM; 35 units) Angus-cross cattle that either had a functional CL (n = 12) or a CIDR insert (n = 12) following PGF2� injection. Progesterone concentrations were similar until Day 3 (Day 0 = injection of PGF2� and CIDR insertion). On Day 3, the CL group had higher (P < 0.05) progesterone concentrations (3.5 � 0.4 ng/mL) than the CIDR group (1.5 � 0.1 ng/mL). Further, there was no difference between the average number of ovulations for the cows with a CL (22.5 � 2.4) or cows without a CL (22.8 � 1.5). In Experiment 2, there was no difference in the number of high-quality embryos recovered from cattle in the high-dose group (8.1 � 0.4) compared to cattle in the low dose group (5.7 � 1.3). There were no differences during the treatment period in progesterone concentrations between high- and low-dose groups. Although there was no statistical difference in the number of ovulations between cattle in the high dose group (20.2 � 2.5) compared to cattle in the low dose group (15.6 � 0.9), the higher FSH dose did yield over 30% more ovulations. Embryo collection from cattle that do not show signs of a CL can increase the number of offspring and embryos, and the genetic progress of otherwise unavailable cattle, thus benefiting the beef and beef cattle industries.

Abstract
A prospective clinical trial was performed to assess the suitability of a new type of sterilisable, user-friendly radiation protection glove. In a preliminary trial, we showed that the dominant hand of the primary operating orthopaedic surgeon receives the highest dose of radiation. During a 4-month period, 98 procedures were done requiring the use of an image intensifier. The doses of radiation to the dominant hand of the operating surgeon were reduced to less than the doses of radiation to the non-dominant hand. The glove was sterilisable, user-friendly and accepted by the majority of surgeons. It offers greater than 90% attenuation of X-rays and is superior to all other scatter gloves on the market.
