Abstract
The inclusive electron neutrino charged-current cross section is measured in the NOvA near detector using 8.02×10^{20} protons-on-target in the NuMI beam. The sample of GeV electron neutrino interactions is the largest analyzed to date and is limited by ≃17% systematic rather than the ≃7.4% statistical uncertainties. The double-differential cross section in final-state electron energy and angle is presented for the first time, together with the single-differential dependence on Q^{2} (squared four-momentum transfer) and energy, in the range 1 GeV≤E_{ν}<6 GeV. Detailed comparisons are made to the predictions of the GENIE, GiBUU, NEUT, and NuWro neutrino event generators. The data do not strongly favor a model over the others consistently across all three cross sections measured, though some models have especially good or poor agreement in the single differential cross section vs Q^{2}.

Abstract
This work reports the comparison of heat-treated and non-heat-treated laminated object-manufactured (LOM) 3D-printed specimens from mechanical and morphological viewpoints. The study suggests that heat treatment of the FDM-printed specimen may have a significant impact on the material characteristics of the polymer. The work has been performed at two stages for the characterization of (a) non-heat-treated samples and (b) heat-treated samples. The results for stage 1 (non-heat-treated samples) suggest that the infill density: 70%, infill pattern: honeycomb, and six number of discs in a single LOM-manufactured sample is the optimized condition with a compression strength of 42.47 MPa. The heat treatment analysis at stage 2 suggests that a high temperature: 65 °C, low time interval: 10 min, works equally well as the low temperature: 55 °C, high time interval: 30 min. The post-heat treatment near Tg (65 °C) for a time interval of 10 min improved the compressive strength by 105.42%.

Abstract
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing of commercial and reinforced filaments is a proven and well-explored method for the enhancement of mechanical properties. However, little has hitherto been reported on the multi-material components, fused or laminated together into a single specimen by using the laminated object manufacturing (LOM) technique for sustainable/renewable polymers. TPU is one such durable and flexible, sustainable material exhibiting renewable and biocompatible properties that have been explored very less often in combination with the ABS polymer matrix in a single specimen, such as the LOM specimen. The current research work presents the LOM manufacturing of 3D-printed flexural specimens of two different, widely used polymers available viz. ABS and TPU and tested as per ASTM D790 standards. The specimens were made and laminated in three layers. They were grouped into two categories, namely ABS: TPU: ABS (ATA) and TPU: ABS: TPU (TAT), which are functionally graded, sandwiched structures of polymeric material. The investigation of the flexural properties, microscopic imaging, and porosity characteristics of the specimens was made for the above categories. The results of the study suggest that ATA-based samples held larger flexural strength than TAT laminated manufactured samples. A significant improvement in the peak elongation and break elongation of the samples was achieved and has shown a 187% increase in the break elongation. Similarly, for the TAT-based specimen, flexural strength was improved significantly from approximately 6.8 MPa to 13 MPa, which represents a nearly 92% increase in the flexural strength. The morphological testing using Tool Maker’s microscopic analysis and porosity analysis has supported the observed trends of mechanical behavior of ATA and TAT samples.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) report that length of stay (LOS) fell (from 19.7 to 16.9 days) in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, as patients, families, cares, and staff in health and social care responded to this challenge. This analysis examines trends in Wales where LOS can be profiled very completely as it predominantly remains within a single health board.
Method
We used data from the NHFD www.nhfd.co.uk to define pre-pandemic LOS (in the year to 1st March 2020) and compare this with the following 18 months. We set figures for all 12 hospitals in Wales against the changes in service organisation which each reported to the NHFD's 2020 Facilities Survey, and against the local incidence of COVID-19 among their hip fracture patients.
Results
Monthly LOS fell markedly at the pandemic's onset; the national figure falling 8.3 days (from 31.2–22.9 days) between February and June 2020. Overall LOS in Wales fell by 1.6 days across the year as a whole, but this ranged from a fall of 6.3 days in one hospital to a rise of 4.5 days in another. Five hospitals reported a rise in LOS. These hospitals had either never had orthogeriatric support, or lost this to COVID-19 duties, they did not achieve the initial fall in LOS in response to the pandemic, and they reported pressures with ‘outliers’ after the first wave. Unlike other units in Wales they cited problems with workload, particularly in terms of physiotherapy.
Discussion
NHFD data provide a detailed picture of hospitals’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and allow us to examine service factors underpinning their resilience in the face of this challenge. More detailed work should be carried out for the 150 hospitals in England using the same sources of data.

Abstract
Hepatectomy is a complex procedure with high morbidity and mortality. Early prediction/prevention of major complications is highly valuable for patient care. Surgical APGAR score (SAS) has been validated to predict post-surgical complications (PCs). We aimed to define a simple complications classification following hepatectomy based on a therapy-oriented severity Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC). 119 patients undergoing liver resection were included. PCs were determined at follow-up based on CDC. Clinicopathological factors were used to calculate SAS. A receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis estimated the predictive value of SAS for PCs. Circulating markers levels of liver injury were analyzed as critical elements on PCs. SAS (P=0.008), estimated blood-loss (P=0.018) and operation time (P=0.0008) were associated with PCs. SAS was reduced in patients with (+) compared to those without (-) complications (6.64±1.84 vs 5.70±1.79, P=0.0079). The area-under-the-curve was 0.646 by ROC, indicating an acceptable discrimination with 65% possibility to distinguish (-) and (+) groups (P=0.004). Best cutoff value for SAS was ≤6/≥7, at which sensitivity and specificity were maximal. ALT/ASL levels were significantly different within the group with 9-10 SAS points (P=0.01 and 0.02). In conclusion, SAS provides accurate risk stratification for major PCs after hepatectomy, and might help improving the overall patient outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leprosy relapse/recurrence is a serious concern especially in a leprosy endemic nation like India. It is believed that bacilli persisting even after multi-drug therapy could cause relapse; recently however drug resistance as a cause for recurrences and chronic erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) has been speculated. Our objective was to study drug resistance patterns in cases of leprosy relapse and chronic/recurrent ENL's. METHODOLOGY This cross-sectional study conducted over a period of 1 year included patients diagnosed as leprosy relapse and those with chronic/recurrent (c/r) ENL. Skin biopsy specimens were subjected to conventional PCR for resistance testing for rifampicin, dapsone and ofloxacin, targeting rpoB, folP and gyrA gene of M.leprae respectively. RESULTS A total of 61 patients (25 smear negative) were included in the study. Of these, 37 were diagnosed as leprosy relapse and 24 had c/r ENL. Drug resistance to at least one drug was identified in 10 (16.4%) cases. Rates of drug resistance were 5.4% (2/37) for dapsone, 10.8% (4/37) for rifampicin and 2.7% (1/37) for ofloxacin amongst cases of relapse where as it was 12.5% (3/24) and 8.3% (2/24) for dapsone and rifampicin respectively amongst those with c/rENL.. Multi drug resistance was seen in 3.3% (2/61) patients. CONCLUSION Drug resistance rate amongst those with c/rENL was almost equaled that of relapse. Smear negative leprosy relapse cases also had resistance to bactericidal drugs. These findings call for modifications in criteria for testing under leprosy drug resistance surveillance and all cases of relapse and those with recalcitrant c/rENL should be tested.

Abstract
Bamboos due to high soil water conservation potential are gaining increased attention in plantation programs across the globe. Large-scale plantation of fast-growing bamboo, however, can have important hydrological consequences. The study aims to quantify the eco-hydrological parameters, viz., throughfall (TF), stemflow (SF), and interception (I) in seven important sympodial bamboo species in north western Himalayan foothills of India. The species selected include Bambusa balcooa, Bambusa bambos, Bambusa vulgaris., Bambusa nutans, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, Dendrocalamus stocksii, and Dendrocalamus strictus. Throughfall versus gross rainfall (GR) relationship in different species indicated high throughfall production during high rainfall events with r2 > 0.90. Average throughfall was lowest (62.1%) in D. hamiltonii and highest in B. vulgaris (74.6%). SF ranged from 1.32% in B. nutans to 3.39% in D. hamiltonii. The correlation coefficient (r) between leaf area index (LAI), number of culms, and crown area with the interception were 0.746, 0.691, and 0.585, respectively. The funneling ratio (F) was highest (27.0) in D. hamiltonii and least in B. nutans. Canopy storage capacity was highest in D. strictus (3.57 mm) and least in D. hamiltonii (1.09 mm). Interception loss was highest (34.4%) in D. hamiltonii and lowest in B. vulgaris (23.5%) and D. strictus (23.6%). Higher interception in bamboos make them suitable for soil conservation, but careful selection of species is required in low rainfall areas.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the effect of prosthetic framework material and cantilever length on peri-implant strain in mandibular all-on-four implant-supported prostheses with different types of arch antagonist forces. Materials and Methods Models simulating a completely edentulous mandibular arch fabricated in heat-cured acrylic resin were used. On the acrylic models, four implants were placed at regions 34, 32, 42, and 44 simulating all-on-four implant placements. Implant-supported screw-retained fixed prosthesis frameworks were fabricated using three different materials (cobalt-chromium, zirconia, and polyetheretherketone) and with three different cantilever lengths (zero mm, 15 mm, and 25 mm). Strain gauges were attached on the model at the buccal and lingual positions of each implant. Forces simulating opposing natural dentition, conventional complete denture, and the parafunctional habit were applied to the models. The peri-implant strain in each strain gauge was recorded. Results Least peri-implant strains (67 microstrains) were observed when forces simulating conventional complete dentures were applied on the models and the highest peri-implant strains (9091 microstrains) were observed when forces simulating parafunctional habit were applied. One-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey's post hoc analysis was performed to compare the mean deformation scores between different materials at 50 N load. The level of significance [P-value] was set at P < 0.05. Tests showed significant differences between zero mm and the other types in all the different materials, and also between 1.5 x AP and 2.5 x AP for Zirconia and Peek material at P = 0.02 & P = .008, respectively. The results showed that the type of framework material, cantilever length, and occlusal forces from the opposing arch influence the peri-implant strain in the bone in all-on-four implant-supported prostheses. Conclusion Rehabilitation of a single, completely edentulous arch with implant-supported prostheses should consider the situation of the opposing arch. The choice of framework material, as well as the cantilever length, should be altered based on the forces from the opposing arch.

Abstract
Background High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounts for nearly 60% of total cases of epithelial ovarian cancer. It is the most aggressive subtype, which shows poor prognosis and low patient survival. For better management of HGSOC patients, new prognostic biomarkers are required to facilitate improved treatment strategies and ensure suitable healthcare decisions. Methods We performed genome wide expression analysis of HGSOC patient samples to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using R based Limma package, Clust and other statistical tools. The identified DEGs were subjected to weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify co-expression patterns of relevant genes. Module trait and gene ontology analyses were performed to establish important gene co-expression networks and their biological functions. Overlapping the most relevant DEG cluster 4 with prominent WGCNA cyan module identified strongest correlation of UBE2Q1 with ovarian cancer and its prognostic significance on survival probability of ovarian cancer patients was investigated. The predictive value of UBE2Q1 as a potential biomarker was analysed by correlating its expression with 12-months relapse free survival of patients in response to platin/taxane, the standard first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, and analysing area under the ROC curve. Results An integrated gene expression analysis and WGCNA, identified UBE2Q1 as a potential prognostic marker associated with poor relapse-free survival and response outcome to platin/taxane treatment of patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer. Conclusions Our study identifies a potential UBE2Q1 – B4GALT3 functional axis in ovarian cancer, where only the E2 conjugating enzyme showed a poor prognostic impact on the disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Laboratory test names frequently do not enable easy understandability or promote correct test utilization, which leads to difficulty for providers in finding the correct test and results in unnecessary cost and medical errors. Laboratory test names are also largely unstandardized and are not named by a consistent set of conventions. To address these issues, the TRUU-Lab (Test Renaming for Understanding & Utilization) initiative aims to generate a consensus test naming guideline for better human understandability of laboratory test names. These studies address the first aim of the TRUU-Lab initiative: to identify root causes and challenges in understanding and using laboratory test names.
Methods
We conducted survey studies to capture the most problematic laboratory test names, then performed analysis of these names to identify aspects of these names that led to confusion among providers. A subset of these test names were used to evaluate five existing laboratory test naming guidelines (LOINC, ONC TigerTeam, Pan- Canadian iEHR Viewer Name, Standards for Pathology Informatics (Australia), and ARUP Laboratories internal style guides) for their ability to produce understandable test names.
Results
274 survey responses yielded ~100 unique laboratory tests cited as confusing, and highlighted substantial diversity both in the names of these tests between institutions and in respondent opinion on the best alternative names. The top 10 most commonly-cited tests yielded ≥ 3 unique names, and the top 2 tests (Vitamin D and anti- factor Xa) yielded ≥ 10 unique names. Post-survey analysis identified eight characteristics associated with poor understandability of a test name, including ambiguity, abbreviations, homophones, multiple indications for a single test, proprietary names, synonyms, truncation, and “panels” where components are obfuscated. Existing guidelines produced highly variable names given the same prompt, and varied in their ability to avoid pitfalls associated with poor understandability.
Conclusion
These studies highlight aspects of existing laboratory test names that lead to confusion among ordering providers, and identify the inability of existing laboratory test naming practices to adequately address these issues. Efforts are ongoing within TRUU-Lab to use these results to inform novel laboratory test naming guidelines to promote universal human understandability.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Poor understandability of laboratory test names increases the risk for inappropriate test utilization and medical errors. Yet, human understandability has not been a major consideration in existing laboratory test names or naming guidelines. TRUU-Lab (Test Renaming for Understanding and Utilization for Laboratory Test Names) is a national initiative that now has more than 45 members representing more than 20 academic and industry organizations, the CDC, and the FDA. The goals of the initiative include: 1) Identify root causes and challenges in understanding and using laboratory test names; 2) Share resources related to potential solutions; 3) Develop consensus guidelines for laboratory test naming; 4) Establish consensus names for existing laboratory tests; and 5) Promote the adoption and implementation of consensus laboratory test names.
Methods
We previously addressed the first two goals of this initiative by identifying problematic test names and features of test names that contribute to misutilization. We also identified the advantages and limitations of current test naming guidelines and previous standardization efforts. This current study addresses goals 3 and 4. We developed an iterative process of guideline development. This process includes collecting feedback on consensus names to improve guidelines, which then informs the improvement of the consensus names.
Results
By analyzing test name characteristics, we found that the requirements for understandability vary with respect to the clinical scenario and provider background. We have used these results to design a 30-min long survey to test candidate names. The survey will be distributed through the Brand Institute, which offers expertise in pharmaceutical name and brand identity development. This pilot survey will be sent to primary care providers to assesses intuitive name preferences given a short and specific prompt. The second phase will take place in a simulated electronic medical record environment to present clinical scenarios where physicians will select an appropriate test.
Conclusion
We expect that results from survey studies will directly inform the development of TRUU-Lab naming guidelines, in turn permitting development of better-optimized laboratory test names. This process represents a new strategy for the intentional design of laboratory test names that are understandable and promote correct provider utilization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the radiological prevalence of frontal cells according to the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification in patients undergoing computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses for clinical symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis, and to examine the association between cell classification and frontal sinusitis development. METHODS A total of 180 (left and right) sides of 90 patients were analysed. The prevalence of each International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification cell was assessed. Logistic regression analysis was used to compare the distribution of various cells in patients with and without frontal sinusitis. RESULTS The agger nasi cell was the most commonly occurring cell, seen in 95.5 per cent of patients. The prevalence rates for supra agger cells, supra agger frontal cells, supra bullar frontal cells, supra bullar cells, supra-orbital ethmoid cells and frontal septal cells were 33.3 per cent, 22.2 per cent, 21.1 per cent, 36.1 per cent, 39.4 per cent and 21.1 per cent, respectively. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of any of the cell types in patients with frontal sinusitis compared to those without (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The presence of any of the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification cells was not significantly associated with frontal sinusitis.

Abstract
Background:Intas is developing a biosimilar teriparatide. This teriparatide biosimilar has shown similarity to European Union approved teriparatide (EU teriparatide) and United States approved teriparatide (US-teriparatide) in analytical (structural and functional assays) and animal studies1.Objectives:To primarily asses pharmacokinetic (PK) equivalence and to compare pharmacodynamic (PD) and safety profiles of teriparatide biosimilar against EU- and US-teriparatide in healthy men and postmenopausal women with potentially similar in-clinic real-life user profiles.Methods:In this assessor-blind, three-period study, 105 subjects were randomized (1:1:1) to receive single subcutaneous 20μg dose each of teriparatide biosimilar, EU-teriparatide, and US-teriparatide in a crossover manner on 3 consecutive days. The primary PK endpoints were area under the curve (AUC) from time zero to t (AUC0-t), AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞), and maximum concentration (Cmax). Secondary endpoints were total serum calcium level as a pharmacodynamic marker and safety.Results:The mean age of 48 men was 38.4 years and 57 women was 43.9 years. Mean serum teriparatide concentrations were similar for teriparatide biosimilar, EU- and US-teriparatide (Figure 1). The 90% confidence intervals (CI) of the geometric least square mean ratios (GMR) of Cmax, AUC0-tand AUC0-∞of teriparatide biosimilar relative to EU- and US-teriparatide were within the predefined acceptance range of 80.00% to 125.00% (Table 1). The baseline-adjusted and non-adjusted corrected total serum calcium levels were similar (Table 2). A total of 42 adverse events (AE) were reported by 31 (29.52%) subjects (9 subjects, teriparatide biosimilar; 14 subjects, EU-teriparatide; 13 subjects, US-teriparatide), with headache and pain in extremity being the most common AEs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Identifying vertebral fractures is prudent in the diagnosis of osteoporosis as they occur early in this hidden condition. Unfortunately, due to their unspecific presentation, only 25% are clinically recognised. Computerised Tomography Pulmonary Angiogram (CTPA) are frequently requested to confirm pulmonary thromboembolisms, but could also aid in detecting clinically silent vertebral fractures. Current literature suggests that less than one-third of incidental vertebral fractures are reported. The aim of this study is to measure the prevalence of vertebral fractures in CTPA and its relevance to clinical outcomes.
Methods
This is retrospective observational study based on the analysis of existing CTPA for acutely unwell patients admitted to medical assessment unit or A & E across three acute sites within Aneurin Bevan University Health board, Wales, UK between January and December 2015. All CTPA reports were reviewed for fragility factures and CTPA images were reassessed for any unreported vertebral fractures. Age and gender were recorded for all patients. Analysis was done for all patients in respect to subsequent fragility fractures and mortality. Difference of proportion test was used to compare two groups with and without vertebral fractures.
Results
179 CTPA were reviewed, 161 patients were included for further analysis. 14.3% (n=23/161) were reported to have a vertebral fracture, however only 8.7% (n=14/161) of reports used the correct terminology of ‘fracture’. On subsequent review, an additional 24.2% (n=39/161) vertebral fractures were noted. Therefore, overall prevalence of vertebral fractures was 38.5% (n=62/161). Only 9.1% (n=9/99) of patients without a vertebral fracture developed a subsequent fragility fracture. In comparison, 22.5% (n=14/62) of patients with a previous vertebral fracture sustained a new fragility fracture over next 4 years and this was significantly higher (p = 0.017). Overall mortality over 4 years follow-up was significantly higher for patients with vertebral fractures (64.5%, n=40/62) as compared to those without fractures (43.4%, n=43/99, p = 0.009). Only 48.4% (n=30/62) received osteoporosis treatment.
Conclusions
Vertebral fractures could be underreported by radiologists, likely due to human factors as they might be concentrating on the clinical scenario to exclude a pulmonary embolism. However, considering a significant higher mortality in patients with underlying vertebral fracture, it justifies that radiologists could be asked to examine sagittal view in the bone window for possible underlying vertebral fractures, to ensure osteoporosis is treated to guidance.

Abstract
The role of melatonin in protecting spermatozoa from different kinds of injury has been widely reported. The present study aimed to test whether treatment of buffalo bulls with melatonin could ameliorate sperm function during nonbreeding season under tropical condition. Ten Murrah buffalo bulls were randomly allocated into control and treated groups of equal numbers of bulls to study the effect of melatonin on semen characteristics, seminal plasma constituents, blood plasma hormonal levels, and antioxidant enzyme activities during nonbreeding season. Treated bulls were implanted with melatonin (18 mg/50 kg of body weight) for a period of 2 mo. During this period, semen was collected twice a week, and blood samples were collected weekly to determine plasma concentration of melatonin and LH and activities of antioxidant enzymes. During nonbreeding season, melatonin implantation improved semen characteristics by increasing (P < 0.05) percentages of sperm with forward motility, viability, total motile sperm, and rapid motility, average path, curvilinear, and straight-line velocity and amplitude of lateral head displacement and decreasing (P < 0.05) percentages of abnormal sperm and linearity index as compared to the control group. Furthermore, melatonin implantation increased (P < 0.05) seminal plasma concentrations of total protein, albumin, and cholesterol and decreased (P < 0.05) seminal plasma aspartate aminotransferase activity. In addition, melatonin-implanted bulls exhibited an increase (P < 0.05) in red blood cells superoxide dismutase activity compared to untreated bulls. In conclusion, melatonin implantation successfully improved semen quality of buffalo bulls during nonbreeding season under tropical condition.

Abstract
Buffaloes have tendency to show seasonal reproduction and remain in anestrus due to limited ovarian activity during summer. The seasonal reproductive behavior is ascribed the effect of melatonin related to photoperiod. Treating animals with melatonin could be a possible strategy to overcome the problem. The role of MTNR1A gene has not been fully explained in the buffalo. Therefore, we conducted a study on 114 buffalo heifers to detect the polymorphic site in MTNR1A gene and further treated them with melatonin implants to investigate the role of most frequent genotype following melatonin treatment on pregnancy. The present investigation is the first to investigate the association between melatonin treated different MTNR1A genotype buffalo and pregnancy. We confirmed SNP at position 72 in 812 bp fragment exon II of MTNR1A gene. RFLP of PCR products with Hpa I enzyme resulted in three genotypes: TT (812bp), CT (812, 743, 69bp) and CC (743, 69bp). Next, buffaloes of each genotype (TT, CC, CT; n = 28 for each) were treated with melatonin implants to compare the conception rate with their corresponding untreated control (n = 10 for each genotype). Melatonin concentrations were higher (P < 0.05) for the treatment groups of all genotypes compared to their respective untreated control from day 1-28. The pregnancy rate was significantly associated with the MTNR1A genotype. The conception rate was higher (P < 0.05) for TT genotype than for the other genotypes of buffaloes treated with melatonin. Furthermore, buffaloes of TT genotype treated with melatonin started exhibiting estrus activity soon from second week of melatonin treatment (14.1 ± 2.1; range: 10-17 days) and were found to be 7.8 times more likely to become pregnant compared to other genotypes following melatonin treatment. In conclusion, TT genotype of MTNR1A gene is more sensitive to melatonin treatment that favours pregnancy in buffaloes during summer.

Abstract
SummaryA study conducted in rats exposed to a continuous noise of 110 decibels over a period of 3 weeks revealed development of significantly prolonged bleeding time, higher plasma fibrinogen content, and progressively shorter activated partial thromboplastin time in test animals. These changes suggest a coagulopathy induced by noise stress.

Abstract
SummarySodium acetate buffer, 0.12 M, pH 7.4 as a diluent in the low temperature technique of dilute clot lysis time, is more effective in accelerating the velocity of lysis than phosphate buffer of similar pH and molarity. A uniform shape of the clot is maintained throughout the digestion in sodium acetate buffer and the end point of lysis is characteristically marked by an abrupt and sharply defined disintegration. Sodium acetate buffer can be employed advantageously in this technique not only to improve the observation but also to shorten the lysis times.

Abstract
For almost 20 years planning for the mentally ill and mentally handicapped has focused on a shift of care from hospital to community, the advantages and difficulties of this process generating much discussion and interest. The hospital population of the mentally handicapped is currently at the forefront of this change, planning impetus now being propelled by alterations in funding with budgets being transferred from NHS to local and social services. One consequence is the closure, or planned closure, of large mental handicap hospitals situated at the periphery of urban centres, with residents being moved to small group homes and hostels within the towns and cities the hospitals once served. The change should prove beneficial for a majority of residents although the process continues to generate debate.

Abstract
As the care of people with learning disability has shifted from large Victorian hospitals to the community, provision for in-patient psychiatric treatment has, in many districts, also moved. Purpose built district or supra-district admission services represent the most common model. An alternative is the use of existing general psychiatric beds. In this article we describe the first 18 months of the Hillingdon district service where this latter model has been adopted.

Abstract
A key issue in health provision is the approach to health inequalities. In the UK, black and ethnic minority populations are disadvantaged in this respect. We obtained annual/public health reports from 13 health authorities (HAs) and 22 primary care trusts/groups (PCT/Gs) serving conurbations with large black and ethnic minority populations, and examined them for mention of special health issues for these groups and the action being taken. 22 of the 35 reports referred to such issues but only 17 referred to special initiatives; the most frequently mentioned were diabetes and coronary heart disease. We recommend that HAs and PCT/Gs serving large black and ethnic minority populations state specifically in their annual reports their awareness of health-equality issues and the action being taken to address them.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of ovarian response and pregnancy rate in anovular buffaloes following Ovsynch and Ovsynch Plus protocols. Buffaloes (n = 55) were divided into two groups: Ovsynch group (n = 26): GnRH (10 μg, GnRH1) on Day 0, PGF2 α (25 mg) on Day 7, GnRH (10 μg, GnRH2) on Day 9; Ovsynch Plus group (n = 29): 500 IU equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) 72 hr (day -3) prior to Ovsynch protocol, followed by fixed timed artificial insemination (FTAI) 6 and 24 hr after GnRH2 injection in bot groups. Transrectal ultrasonography was performed daily, that is, from day 0 and -3 in Ovsynch and Ovsynch Plus group, respectively for ovarian response and pregnancy diagnosis at day 30 post-insemination. In Ovsynch Plus group, administration of eCG prior to GnRH1 increased (p < .001) the diameter (mm) of dominant follicle (DF) from 10.15 ± 0.26 to 12.23 ± 0.34 within 72 hr of treatment resulting higher ovulatory response to GnRH1. Ovulation after GnRH1 was higher (p < .01) in Ovsynch Plus group (96.6%) than Ovsynch group (61.5%). However, ovulation rate to GnRH2 was similar (p > .05) between groups (Ovsynch group: 76.9% vs. Ovsynch Plus group: 70.0%). Mean DF diameter (mm) that ovulated to both GnRHs was higher (p < .01) than non-ovulated counterparts in both groups (Ovsynch group: 10.80 ± 0.27 vs. 8.47 ± 0.53; Ovsynch Plus group: 11.99 ± 0.24 vs. 9.5 ± 0.63). Pregnancy was established in buffaloes which responded to both GnRHs, irrespective of groups, being higher (p = .52) in Ovsynch Plus group (34.5%) than Ovsynch group (23.1%), though non-significant. In summary, this study showed that eCG inclusion prior to Ovsynch regimen improves ovulatory response in anovular buffaloes during low-breeding season.
