Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric ARDS is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. High-quality data from clinical trials in children are limited due to numerous barriers to their design and execution. Here we describe the collaborative development of a master protocol as a tool to address some of these barriers and support the conduct of pediatric ARDS studies. METHODS Using PubMed, we performed a literature search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in pediatric ARDS to characterize the current state and evaluate potential benefit of harmonized master protocols. We used a multi-stakeholder, collaborative, and team science-oriented process to develop a master protocol template with links to common data elements (CDEs) for pediatric ARDS trials. RESULTS We identified 11 RCTs that enrolled between 14-200 total subjects per trial. Interventions included mechanical ventilation, prone positioning, corticosteroids, and surfactant. Studies displayed significant heterogeneity in ARDS definition, design, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and reported outcomes. Mortality was reported in 91% of trials and ventilator-free days in 73%. The trial heterogeneity made pooled analysis unfeasible. These findings underscore the need for a method to facilitate combined analysis of future trials through standardization of trial elements. As a potential solution, we developed a master protocol, iteratively revised with input from a multidisciplinary panel of experts and organized into 3 categories: instructions and general information, templated language, and a series of text options of common pediatric ARDS trial scenarios. Finally, we linked master protocol sections to relevant CDEs previously defined for pediatric ARDS and captured in a series of electronic case report forms. CONCLUSIONS The majority of pediatric ARDS trials identified were small and heterogeneous in study design and outcome reporting. Using a master protocol template for pediatric ARDS trials with CDEs would support combining and comparing pediatric ARDS trial findings and increase the knowledge base.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections and deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic have disproportionately affected underserved populations. A community-engaged approach that supports decision making around safe COVID-19 practices is needed to promote equitable access to testing and treatment. You & Me: Test and Treat (YMTT) will evaluate a systematic and scalable community-engaged protocol that provides rapid access to COVID-19 at-home tests, education, guidance on next steps, and information on local resources to facilitate treatment in underserved populations. METHODS This direct-to-participant observational study will distribute at-home, self-administered, COVID-19 testing kits to people in designated communities. YMTT features a Public Health 3.0 framework and Toolkit prescribing a tiered approach to community engagement. We will partner with two large community organizations, Merced County United Way (Merced County, CA) and Pitt County Health Department (Pitt County, NC), who will coordinate up to 20 local partners to distribute 40,000 COVID tests and support enrollment, consenting, and data collection over a 15-month period. Participants will complete baseline questions about their demographics, experience with COVID-19 infection, and satisfaction with the distribution event. Community partners will also complete engagement surveys. In addition, participants will receive guidance on COVID-19 mitigation and health-promoting resources, and accessible and affordable therapeutics if they test positive for COVID-19. Data collection will be completed using a web-based platform that enables creation and management of electronic data capture forms. Implementation measures include evaluating 1) the Toolkit as a method to form community-academic partnerships for COVID-19 test access, 2) testing results, and 3) the efficacy of a YMTT protocol coupled with local resourcing to provide information on testing, guidance, treatment, and links to resources. Findings will be used to inform innovative methods to address community needs in public health research that foster cultural relevance, improve research quality, and promote health equity. DISCUSSION This work will promote access to COVID-19 testing and treatment for underserved populations by leveraging a community-engaged research toolkit. Future dissemination of the toolkit can support effective community-academic partnerships for health interventions in underserved settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Socio-demographic factors characterizing disadvantage may influence uptake of preventative health interventions such as the NHS Health Check and research trials informing their content. METHODS A cross-sectional study examining socio-demographic characteristics of participants and non-participants to the NHS Health Check and a nested trial of very brief physical activity interventions within this context. Age, gender, Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) and ethnicity were extracted from patient records of four General Practices (GP) in England. RESULTS In multivariate analyses controlling for GP surgery, the odds of participation in the Health Check were higher for older patients (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.04-1.07) and lower from areas of greater deprivation (IMD Quintiles 4 versus 1, OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.18-0.76, 5 versus 1 OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.20-0.88). Older patients were more likely to participate in the physical activity trial (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.06). CONCLUSIONS Younger patients and those living in areas of greater deprivation may be at risk of non-participation in the NHS Health Check, while younger age also predicted non-participation in a nested research trial. The role that GP-surgery-specific factors play in influencing participation across different socio-demographic groups requires further exploration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore reasons for non-participation in a primary care-based physical activity trial and understand how these may contribute to recruitment of non-representative research samples. We also aimed to elicit non-participants' own recommendations for enhancing trial uptake in primary care. DESIGN Semistructured telephone interviews with non-participants to a randomised controlled trial of a very brief intervention for promoting physical activity conducted in primary care (the Very Brief Interventions trial), with thematic analysis of interview transcripts. SETTING 5 general practice (GP) surgeries in the East of England, UK. PARTICIPANTS Interviews were completed with 10 female and 6 male non-participants of white ethnicity and aged between 40 and 71 years. 13 of the 16 interviewees were either active or moderately active according to the GP Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPPAQ). RESULTS Interviewees discussed a range of reasons for non-participation. These included beliefs surrounding the personal relevance of the trial based on preconceptions of intervention content. Many interviewees considered themselves either sufficiently active or too functionally limited to increase activity levels further, so rendering participation pointless in their view. Other identified barriers included a lack of free time, for trial participation and for increasing physical activity, and dissatisfaction with appointment scheduling systems in place at GP surgeries. Interviewees questioned the appropriateness of primary care as a context for delivering interventions to promote physical activity. In general, interviewees were positively disposed towards the idea of trial participation, especially if personal benefits are made salient, but suggested that interventions could be delivered in a different setting such as the internet. CONCLUSIONS To increase participation in physical activity promotion trials conducted in primary care, the content of invitation materials and procedures for contacting potential participants require reconsideration. Specific recommendations include streamlining intervention materials and enhancing their relevance to the health concerns of invitees. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN72691150; Pre-results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about equity effects in primary care based physical activity interventions. This review explored whether differences in intervention effects are evident across indicators of social disadvantage, specified under the acronym PROGRESS-Plus (place of residence, race/ethnicity, occupation, gender, religion, education, social capital, socioeconomic status, plus age, disability and sexual orientation). METHODS Six bibliographic databases were systematically searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of physical activity interventions conducted in primary care. Harvest plots were used to synthesize findings from RCTs reporting subgroup or interaction analyses examining differences in intervention effects across levels of at least one PROGRESS-Plus factor. RESULTS The search yielded 9052 articles, from which 173 eligible RCTs were identified. Despite PROGRESS-Plus factors being commonly measured (N = 171 RCTs), differential effect analyses were infrequently reported (N = 24 RCTs). Where reported, results of equity analyses suggest no differences in effect across levels or categories of place of residence (N = 1RCT), race (N = 4 RCTs), education (N = 3 RCTs), socioeconomic status (N = 3 RCTs), age (N = 16 RCTs) or disability (N = 2 RCTs). Mixed findings were observed for gender (N = 22 RCTs), with some interventions showing greater effect in men than women and others vice versa. Three RCTs examined indicators of social capital, with larger post-intervention differences in physical activity levels between trial arms found in those with higher baseline social support for exercise in one trial only. No RCTs examined differential effects by participant occupation, religion or sexual orientation. CONCLUSION The majority of RCTs of physical activity interventions in primary care record sufficient information on PROGRESS-Plus factors to allow differential effects to be studied. However, very few actually report details of relevant analyses to determine which population subgroups may stand to benefit or be further disadvantaged by intervention efforts.

Abstract
The sarcomere of muscle is composed of tens of thousands of myosin motors that self-assemble into thick filaments and interact with surrounding actin-based thin filaments in a dense, near-crystalline hexagonal lattice. Together, these actin-myosin interactions enable large-scale movement and force generation, two primary attributes of muscle. Research on isolated fibres has provided considerable insight into the collective properties of muscle, but how actin-myosin interactions are coordinated in an ensemble remains poorly understood. Here, we show that artificial myosin filaments, engineered using a DNA nanotube scaffold, provide precise control over motor number, type and spacing. Using both dimeric myosin V- and myosin VI-labelled nanotubes, we find that neither myosin density nor spacing has a significant effect on the gliding speed of actin filaments. This observation supports a simple model of myosin ensembles as energy reservoirs that buffer individual stochastic events to bring about smooth, continuous motion. Furthermore, gliding speed increases with cross-bridge compliance, but is limited by Brownian effects. As a first step to reconstituting muscle motility, we demonstrate human β-cardiac myosin-driven gliding of actin filaments on DNA nanotubes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studying and understanding pathways to diagnosis and treatment is vital for the development of successful interventions to encourage early detection, presentation, and diagnosis. An existing framework posited to describe the decisional and behavioural processes that occur prior to treatment (Andersen et al.'s General Model of Total Patient Delay) does not appear to match the complex and dynamic nature of the pathways into and through the health care system or provide a clear framework for research. Therefore a revised descriptive framework, the Model of Pathways to Treatment, has been proposed. PURPOSE This paper presents the concepts and definitions of the Model of Pathways to Treatment and specifies how the model can encompass existing psychological theory, with particular focus on the Appraisal and Help-seeking intervals. The potential and direction for future work is also discussed. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT?: • The use of theory is often lacking in existing research into delays in presentation, diagnosis and treatment of illness. WHAT DOES THIS STUDY ADD?: • A detailed account of the concepts and definitions of a revised framework: the Model of Pathways to Treatment. • Specification of how the Model of Pathways to Treatment can encompass existing psychological theory such as the Common Sense Model of Illness Self-regulation and Social Cognitive Theory.

Abstract
By marker rescue of bacteriophage SP02 sus mutants with purified bacteriophage SP02 DNA fragments, 11 of the 17 known bacteriophage SP02 sus loci were assigned to discrete DNA fragments. The left-most genetic locus, susA, was found to reside near one bacteriophage SP02 terminus (EcoRI-C1 fragment), whereas the right-most genetic locus, susP, was found to reside near the other bacteriophage SP02 terminus (EcoRI-C2 fragment). The physical locations of the intervening genetic loci were found to be consistent with the previously determined genetic order. Evidence was also obtained which suggested that at least one end of a transforming DNA fragment is degraded during DNA uptake by the competent bacterium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy is common and likely due to genetic factors that are not detectable using standard linkage analysis. We initiated a candidate gene approach to study the genetic influence of the small heat shock protein (sHSP) gene family on an axonal motor and motor/sensory neuropathy patient population. METHODS The promoter region and all exonic and intronic sequences of the 10 sHSP genes (HSPB1-HSPB10) were screened in a cohort of presumed nonacquired, axonal motor and motor/sensory neuropathy patients seen at the Ohio State University Neuromuscular Clinic. RESULTS A missense mutation in the gene encoding small heat shock protein B3 (HSPB3, also called HSP27, protein 3) was discovered in 2 siblings with an asymmetric axonal motor neuropathy. Electrophysiologic studies revealed an axonal, predominantly motor, length-dependent neuropathy. The mutation, HSPB3(R7S), is located in the N-terminal domain and involves the loss of a conserved arginine. CONCLUSIONS The discovery of an HSPB3 mutation associated with an axonal motor neuropathy using a candidate gene approach supports the notion that the small heat shock protein gene family coordinately plays an important role in motor neuron viability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent meta-analyses cast doubt over purported beneficial effects of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-Gamma (PPAR-gamma) receptor agonists. Thiazolidinedione (TZD) trials using surrogate outcomes to postulate an antiatherogenic paradigm have been criticised as misinformative. We conducted an independent systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled TZD studies incorporating carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) or pulse wave velocity (PWV) as primary outcome measures. The aim was to provide an evidence-based overview of TZD intervention studies using markers prospectively linked to vascular outcome in type 2 diabetes. METHODS Systematic search of known databases for TZD intervention trials using mean thickness CIMT(n = 9) and ankle-brachial PWV(n = 6) as primary outcome measures was performed. CIMT and PWV pooled weighted mean difference was calculated using a random effects model accounting for heterogeneity and publication bias. An indirect meta-analysis provided a comparison of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone effects. RESULTS A composite of combined placebo and comparator controlled trials demonstrated a significant weighted mean difference of-0.06 mm for CIMT (95% CI-0.09 to-0.02, p = 0.001) and-0.72 ms(-1) for PWV (95% CI-1.28 to-0.16, p = 0.011) in favour of thiazolidiendione treatment. No TZD intraclass variation in CIMT (p = 0.96) or PWV (p = 0.33) change was observed. CONCLUSION TZDs exhibit significant beneficial effects on aorto-carotid atherosclerosis when assessed using prospectively validated non-invasive techniques. Inferring clinical benefit in the absence of confirmatory outcome trials is questionable and caution should be exercised when interpreting intervention data with surrogate endpoints. TZD-induced congestive cardiac failure or other unknown PPAR-gamma adverse effects are plausible explanations for the conflicting results of intervention trials using markers of atherosclerosis and clinical event outcomes.

Abstract
In many areas of the developing world, the establishment of permanent marine reserves is inhibited by cultural norms or socioeconomic pressures. Community conserved areas that are periodically harvested are increasingly being implemented as fisheries management tools, but few researchers have empirically compared them with permanently closed reserves. We used a hierarchical control-impact experimental design to compare the abundance and biomass of reef fishes, invertebrates, and substrate composition in periodically harvested and permanent reserves and in openly fished (control sites) of the South Pacific island country of Vanuatu. Fished species had significantly higher biomass in periodically harvested reserves than in adjacent openly fished areas. We did not detect differences in substratum composition between permanent reserves and openly fished areas or between permanent reserves and periodically harvested reserves. Giant clams (tridacnids) and top shells (Trochus niloticus) were vulnerable to periodic harvest, and we suggest that for adequate management of these species, periodically harvested community conservation areas be used in conjunction with other management strategies. Periodic harvest within reserves is an example of adaptive and flexible management that may meet conservation goals and that is suited to the social, economic, and cultural contexts of many coastal communities in the developing world.

Abstract
AIMS Identifying patients' beliefs about taking medication can inform interventions to support medication taking, and their evaluation. We set out to establish the range of these beliefs, and measure the frequency of commonly held beliefs and their correlation with intention to take medication and self-reported medication adherence. METHODS An exploratory survey among Type 2 diabetic patients aged 40 years or older, registered in general practice, used a questionnaire measuring a range of plausible beliefs about taking and intention to take medication developed from interviews where belief elicitation was guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The Medication Adherence Report Schedule was used as a self-report adherence measure. RESULTS Questionnaires were returned by 121 (61.7%) people. The majority strongly agreed with statements about the benefits of taking medication. Negative beliefs that taking medication would 'cause unpleasant side effects' and 'lead to weight gain' were held by 32.8 [corrected] and 13.9% of people, respectively. Beliefs about benefit were strongly associated with intention to take medication regularly. Two beliefs were associated with reduced medication adherence: 'changes to my daily routine would make it more difficult to take my diabetes medicines regularly' (P < 0.001), and 'if I were to take my diabetes medicines regularly this would lead to my gaining weight' (P < 0.01) [corrected] CONCLUSIONS Use of a theoretical model to elicit and identify common beliefs about taking medication regularly underscores the importance of exploring weight-gain concerns and how to keep taking tablets when routines change. Beliefs associated with intention and taking medication will inform intervention development, implementation and evaluation in randomized controlled studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the characteristics of callers to a telephone helpline with those of smokers seeking assistance through a clinic and smokers in a general population sample. STUDY DESIGN Data were gathered from callers to the Quitline in May and June 2000. Screening data were used for smokers attending the South London & Maudsley NHS Smokers' Clinic from May 2000 to April 2001. The results of the 2000/2001 General Household Survey (GHS) were used to estimate the characteristics of smokers in the general population. METHODS Callers to the Quitline (n=1162) surveyed during the summer of 2000, smokers attending the Maudsley Hospital Smokers' Clinic between May 2000 and April 2001 (n=1127), and smokers surveyed in the GHS between April 2000 and March 2001 (n=14,089) were compared on demographic characteristics, tobacco dependence and readiness to quit. RESULTS Women and older smokers are more likely to seek help, but the Quitline attracts more calls from younger smokers. The age profile of helpline callers corresponds more closely to that of the general population of smokers than does the age profile of clinic attenders. Quitline callers are more dependent than the general population of smokers; clinic attenders are even more dependent. In comparison with the general population, the majority of Quitline callers have plans to quit smoking soon or have already stopped smoking. CONCLUSIONS Telephone helplines reach a more representative sample of smokers in various states of readiness to quit, and provide a service for a population not reached by clinics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An important concern for developers of clinical practice guidelines is how best to determine when guidelines require updating to ensure they remain current and evidence based. Because of the high costs associated with updating guidelines, recent attention has focused on approaches that can reliably assess the extent of updating required. Recently, Shekelle and colleagues proposed a model of limited literature searches with modest expert involvement as a way to reduce the cost and time requirements for assessing whether a guideline needs updating. METHODS The main objective of this study was to compare the Shekelle et al. assessment model (review approach) and a conventional process using typical systematic review methods (traditional approach) in terms of comprehensiveness and effort. We modeled the review approach on that by Shekelle and colleagues but refined it iteratively over three phases to achieve greater efficiency. Using both methods independently, we assessed the need to update six topics from the 1996 Guide to Clinical Preventive Services from the US Preventive Services Task Force. Main outcomes included completeness of study identification, importance of missed studies and the effort involved. RESULTS Although the review approach identified fewer eligible studies than the traditional approach, none of the studies missed was rated as important by task force members acting as liaisons to the project with respect to whether the topic required an update. On average, the review approach produced substantially fewer citations to review than the traditional approach. The effort involved and potential time saving depended largely on the scope of the topic. CONCLUSIONS The revised review approach provides an efficient and acceptable method for judging whether a guideline requires updating.

Abstract
Genetic testing for cancer susceptibility (e.g. hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer) is available for some families with a history of colon cancer. Our aim was to investigate participants' anticipated emotional and behavioral reactions to genetic testing for colon cancer and whether gender or clinical risk influences these reactions. 437 asymptomatic participants with a colorectal cancer family history completed a questionnaire about anticipated emotions and actions, under different genetic testing scenarios. More women than men anticipated feeling worried, regretful, and angry if tested positive. People at lower-risk anticipated more surprise and disbelief than those at higher-risk. People anticipated feeling more guilt, regret and less relief if they were not tested than if they were. High-risk results were anticipated to increase depression and worry. Most people still wanted screening if at low risk, anticipated leading healthier lifestyles whatever the result, but would make more plans for the future if they were at high risk. Clinical implications are that as anticipated emotional effects of not being tested may be more severe than having a test, people choosing to forgo testing should feel able to reconsider their decision anytime. Most people did not anticipate strong emotional reactions but thought it would change their lifestyle and would like continued clinical surveillance whatever the result.

Abstract
The motivation of people who seek advice about a family history of cancer was explored in a cross sectional study of new cancer referrals to five regional cancer genetics centres in England: the PACT (patient and clinical team) psychosocial study. One hundred sixty-two people took part. Measures were source of referral, estimated and perceived cancer risk, level of cancer worry, and personal and family-centred reasons for wanting to be seen in clinic. General practitioners referred more people than hospital doctors, and referred a larger proportion of people at low genetic risk of developing cancer. More than half of the participants had been the first to raise the issue of their family history of cancer. Personal motivation for referral is clearly different for those who have had a diagnosis of cancer and for those with children, compared to unaffected and childless people, and is characterised by altruistic concern for other family members rather than a perception of increased personal risk. Men and people from ethnic minorities are very significantly under-represented. Understanding people's motivation may be useful in targeting genetic counselling for people with a family history of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity poses a considerable and growing health burden. This review examines evidence for screening and treating obesity in adults. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE and Cochrane Library (January 1994 through February 2003). STUDY SELECTION Systematic reviews; randomized, controlled trials; and observational studies of obesity's health outcomes or efficacy of obesity treatment. DATA EXTRACTION Two reviewers independently abstracted data on study design, sample, sample size, treatment, outcomes, and quality. DATA SYNTHESIS No trials evaluated mass screening for obesity, so the authors evaluated indirect evidence for efficacy. Pharmacotherapy or counseling interventions produced modest (generally 3 to 5 kg) weight loss over at least 6 or 12 months, respectively. Counseling was most effective when intensive and combined with behavioral therapy. Maintenance strategies helped retain weight loss. Selected surgical patients lost substantial weight (10 to 159 kg over 1 to 5 years). Weight reduction improved blood pressure, lipid levels, and glucose metabolism and decreased diabetes incidence. The internal validity of the treatment trials was fair to good, and external validity was limited by the minimal ethnic or gender diversity of volunteer participants. No data evaluated counseling harms. Primary adverse drug effects included hypertension with sibutramine (mean increase, 0 mm Hg to 3.5 mm Hg) and gastrointestinal distress with orlistat (1% to 37% of patients). Fewer than 1% (pooled samples) of surgical patients died; up to 25% needed surgery again over 5 years. CONCLUSIONS Counseling and pharmacotherapy can promote modest sustained weight loss, improving clinical outcomes. Pharmacotherapy appears safe in the short term; long-term safety has not been as strongly established. In selected patients, surgery promotes large amounts of weight loss with rare but sometimes severe complications.

Abstract
Recent U.S. government action to lower the maximum concentration levels (MCL) of total arsenic (As) (10 ppb) in drinking water has raised serious concerns about the agricultural use of As-containing biosolids such as poultry litter (PL). In this study, solid-state chemical speciation, desorbability, and total levels of As in PL and long-term amended soils were investigated using novel synchrotron-based probing techniques (microfocused (micro) synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) and micro-X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopies) coupled with chemical digestion and batch experiments. The total As levels in the PL were as high as approximately 50 mg kg(-1), and As(II/III and V) was always concentrated in abundant needle-shaped microscopic particles (approximately 20 microm x 850 microm) associated with Ca, Cu, and Fe and to a lesser extent with S, Cl, and Zn. Post-edge XANES features of litter particles are dissimilar to those of the organo-As(V) compound in poultry feed (i.e., roxarsone), suggesting possible degradation/transformation of roxarsone in the litter and/or in poultry digestive tracts. The extent of As desorption from the litter increased with increasing time and pH from 4.5 to 7, but at most 15% of the total As was released after 5 d at pH 7, indicating the presence of insoluble phases and/or strongly retained soluble compounds. No significant As accumulation (< 15 mg kg(-1)) was found in long-term PL-amended agricultural surface soils. This suggests that As in the PL may have undergone surface and subsurface transport processes. Our research results raise concerns about long-term PL amendment effects on As contamination in surrounding soil-water environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study explores the association between socioeconomic deprivation and five factors associated with long-term risk of cancer, in adolescents. METHODS BMI, fat intake, fruit and vegetable intake, smoking, and exercise were assessed in 4320 students ages 11 to 12, from 36 schools, in the first year of a 5-year longitudinal study of the development of health behaviors (HABITS study). Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation for each student's area of residence was matched to their postcode (zip code). We used multiple logistic regression analyses to investigate the relationship between risky behaviors and socioeconomic circumstances. RESULTS Univariate analyses showed boys and girls from more deprived neighborhoods were more likely to have tried smoking, to eat a high fat diet, and to be overweight. Girls living in more deprived areas were also less likely to eat five servings of fruit and vegetables or to exercise at the weekend. Most differences persisted after controlling for ethnicity. A clear deprivation gradient emerged for each risk factor, indicating the linear nature of the relationship. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the influence of deprivation on engaging in cancer-risk health behaviors. These patterns may set young people from more socioeconomically deprived social environments on a trajectory leading to increased cancer mortality in adult life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of counseling to promote a healthy diet among patients in primary care settings. DESIGN AND DATA SOURCES We conducted a MEDLINE search from 1966 to December 2001. STUDY SELECTION We included randomized controlled trials of at least 3 months' duration with measures of dietary behavior that were conducted in patient populations similar to those found in primary care practices. We excluded studies that reported only biochemical or anthropomorphic endpoints, had dropout rates greater than 50%, or enrolled patients based on the presence of a chronic disease. DATA EXTRACTION One author extracted relevant data from each included article into evidence tables. Using definitions developed by the research team, two authors independently rated each study in terms of its effect size, the intensity of its intervention, the patient risk level, and the use of well-proven counseling techniques. DATA SYNTHESIS We identified 21 trials for use in this review. Dietary counseling produces modest changes in self-reported consumption of saturated fat, fruits and vegetables, and possibly dietary fiber. More-intensive interventions were more likely to produce important changes than brief interventions, but they may be more difficult to apply to typical primary care patients. Interventions using interactive health communications, including computer-generated telephone or mail messages, can also produce moderate dietary changes. CONCLUSIONS Moderate- or high-intensity counseling interventions, including use of interactive health communication tools, can reduce consumption of saturated fat and increase intake of fruit and vegetable. Brief counseling of unselected patients by primary care providers appears to produce small changes in dietary behavior, but its effect on health outcomes is unclear.

Abstract
The broad aim of the research presented here was to define the constituents and indicators of quality of life (QoL) in older age, in order to offer a more multidimensional and useful model of quality of life, based on the perspectives of older people themselves. This paper focuses on the extent to which self-evaluations of global QoL are influenced by health, psychological and social variables, and social circumstances. It reports the results of a national survey of the quality of life in people aged 65 and over, living at home in Britain. Multiple regression analysis with the self-evaluation of quality of life rating as the dependent variable showed that the overall model (Model 9) of QoL indicators explained 26.7% of the variance in quality of life ratings. This is sizeable given the amorphous nature of this concept. The main independent predictors of self-rated global quality of life were: social comparisons and expectations, personality and psychological characteristics (optimism-pessimism), health and functional status and personal and neighbourhood social capital. These variables explained the highest proportion of the variance between groups in their quality of life ratings. Socio-economic indicators contributed relatively little to the model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES to identify the incidence of prolonged travel among consecutive patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and to investigate any differences in the patterns of traveller's thrombosis versus DVT's with no history of prolonged recent travel. METHODS of 137 consecutive patients, who were confirmed to have DVT by duplex ultrasonography, 36 were excluded because of either prolonged immobilisation or recent surgery. All patients were asked whether they had travelled within 2 weeks for more than 3h. The presence of other classic risk factors for DVT was also recorded. Patients who were unlikely to travel as a result of prolonged immobility for more than 2 weeks and those who underwent surgery within 2 weeks were excluded from the study. The extent and location of thrombi was also verified by duplex scanning in each patient. RESULTS of 101 patients, eligible for the final analysis, 15 (15%) claimed to have a recent travel, of whom 9 (9%) travelled by air. By comparison of a group of 106 patients with similar symptoms at presentation, but who had negative duplex finding 12 (11%) had a history of prolonged travel (p=0.8, Fisher's exact test). Travel-related DVT occurred to a significantly younger age group than non travellers. Thirteen (87%) out of 15 patients with travel-related DVT had another coexisting risk factor and 7 out of 10 patients had a positive thrombophilia screen. CONCLUSION The majority of those with travel-related DVT had other concomitant risk factors and a high incidence of a positive thrombophilia screen, suggesting that travel itself may act as an additive risk among those with pre-existing risk factors for DVT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To find out whether a false positive breast screening result has a negative effect on subsequent screening attendance. Also considered was the proportion of women who had ever failed to reattend for screening, having previously attended routinely. DESIGN The study was a retrospective cohort design. SETTING Data from the call and recall records of the Central and East London Breast Screening Service (CELBSS) were used. PARTICIPANTS Women who had been invited to attend for breast screening by the CELBSS during 1997. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Subsequent attendance or non-attendance for the next routine breast screen, after a false positive screening result. RESULTS A substantial number of women failed to reattend for a breast screen during their screening history, having attended for their previous routine breast screen. No differences in the rates of reattendance were found between those who had previously received a false positive result and those who had not. CONCLUSION From the results obtained in the present study it would seem that the experience of a false positive breast screen does not deter women from reattending in the future. However, many women living in inner city areas who attend for an initial breast screen are failing to attend for subsequent routine mammograms. This may have a deleterious effect for these women in terms of the benefits of attendance for regular screening.

Abstract
A randomised, controlled trial in progress in 14 United Kingdom and six Italian centres is evaluating screening for colorectal cancer using a single flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) at around the age of 60 with removal during FS of all small adenomas, and colonoscopy for "high risk" polyps. The regimen aims to ensure that 95% of people (with either no polyps or only low risk polyps) complete the entire screening process in a single visit. This paper describes the rationale and design of the trial. Participants were patients aged between 55 and 64 on the lists of designated general practitioners (GPs) who were not excluded by their GP. A two stage recruitment procedure was employed to raise compliance rates in the intervention group. Potentially eligible persons were sent an "interest in screening" questionnaire; those who responded positively were randomised to the intervention or control groups. The trial is sufficiently large to estimate within narrow confidence intervals the magnitude of benefit and the duration of effect and optimum age for a single screen. It also examines the feasibility and acceptability of the screening regimen, and will identify training and quality assurance issues. Recruitment and screening are now complete and all baseline data have been collected. The first analysis of the effect on colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rates and suitability for a national screening programme can be expected in 2004.

Abstract
This study sought to examine changes in psychological distress following cancer genetic counselling. Women attending a family cancer clinic completed questionnaires before their appointment and at 2 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after their appointment. Twenty-six women were at low risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer, 76 were at moderate risk, 46 were at high risk and 46 women had previously had breast or ovarian cancer. All groups were compared with regard to measures of anxiety, depression, general psychological distress, worry about developing breast and ovarian cancer, and perceived risk of developing breast/ovarian cancer and perceived likelihood of carrying a genetic mutation. General psychological distress did not change over the course of the study and the groups did not differ on these measures. Worry about developing breast cancer and perceptions of the likelihood of carrying a genetic mutation significantly reduced following genetic counselling. On the whole women who had already had breast/ovarian cancer showed more concerns about ovarian cancer and raised perceptions of risk in comparison with the other groups, indicating the need for sensitive counselling of such women.

Abstract
Iron plaque on aquatic plant roots are ubiquitous and sequester metals in wetland soils; however, the mechanisms of metal sequestration are unresolved. Thus, characterizing the Fe plaque and associated metals will aid in understanding and predicting metal cycling in wetland ecosystems. Accordingly, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques were utilized to identify the spatial distributions, associations, and chemical environments of Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn on the roots of a common, indigenous wetland plant (Phalaris arundinacea). Iron forms a continuous precipitate on the root surface, which is composed dominantly of ferrihydrite (ca. 63%) with lesser amounts of goethite (32%) and minor levels of siderite (5%). Although Pb is juxtaposed with Fe on the root surface, it is complexed to organic functional groups, consistent with those of bacterial biofilms. In contrast, Mn and Zn exist as discrete, isolated mixed-metal carbonate (rhodochrosite/hydrozincite) nodules on the root surface. Accordingly, the soil-root interface appears to be a complex biochemical environment, containing both reduced and oxidized mineral species, as well as bacterial-induced organic-metal complexes. As such, hydrated iron oxides, bacterial biofilms, and metal carbonates will influence the availability and mobility of metals within the rhizosphere of aquatic plants.

Abstract
In all species of crocodilians, sex is determined not by genetic mechanisms, but by the temperature at which the egg is incubated. In the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) the thermosensitive period (TSP) for sex determination is a 7- to 10-day window within stages 21-24 of development, around the middle third of the incubation period. Treating embryos with estrogen during the TSP produces female offspring, even at male incubation temperatures. Conversely, blocking embryonic estrogen synthesis at female-inducing temperature prevents development of the female phenotype. Therefore, it has been suggested that estrogen plays a role in determination of sex in the alligator. Estrogen is produced from an androgen substrate by cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19). If estrogen plays a critical role in sex determination, there should be differences in aromatase expression between embryos at male- and female-producing temperatures during the TSP. Therefore, to address this question, we cloned and characterized the alligator CYP19 cDNA. Based on the sequence information, a quantitative kinetic reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (TaqMan) assay was designed to measure expression of the alligator aromatase gene in RNA extracted from the gonadal and brain regions of alligator embryos incubated at male- or female-producing temperatures from prior to the TSP through hatching. Aromatase expression was detected in the brain region from the earliest stage tested (stage 20) through hatching. The hypothalamus had significantly higher expression than the forebrain or hindbrain in both male and female embryos. Expression was not significantly different in the gonadal region between embryos at male and female temperatures until after the TSP, when there was a dramatic increase in expression at female temperature. These data indicate that aromatase expression and, thus, estrogen production, are not the initial trigger for sex determination but play an essential role in ovarian differentiation in the alligator.

Abstract
Qualitative methods were used to investigate decision-making among a group of older adults who declined the offer of flexible sigmoidoscopy screening for bowel cancer. Interviews were conducted with 60 people (30 men and 30 women) who either had not responded to the screening letter or who responded saying that they were not interested in participating. The findings suggest that low perceived susceptibility to bowel cancer, in terms of current health status, family history or absence of bowel symptoms. was an important factor in the decision to decline screening. Procedural barriers such as embarrassment, pain/discomfort and perceived unpleasantness of the test were reported as relatively minor, although the test was considered more physically intrusive than other screening tests. Avoidant attitudes emerged as an important theme and were reported by a third of respondents. Distinct patterns of decision-making were also observed and three groups emerged from accounts: (i) forgetting or avoiding making a decision about the test (ii) a confident rejection of the test based on a few salient factors, and (iii) a more careful consideration of the test focusing on issues of susceptibility. The findings are discussed in the context of models of health behaviour and bowel cancer screening participation research.
