Abstract
Experimental data was obtained in order to investigate the effect of waves on the loads and performance of tidal turbines. An instrumented 1:15 scale tidal turbine was installed in the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, and a wide range of regular wave conditions were generated; systematically varying both wave frequency and height. Waves were generated both following and opposing a fixed mean current velocity of 0.81 m/s. Data are made available of the measured turbine loads and environmental conditions obtained for five repeats of 24 wave conditions via https://doi.org/10.7488/ds/2472. A description of the data collection process, data processing, file structure and naming conventions are provided in this article. The analysis and presentation of the described dataset can be found in Ref. [1].

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a serious health issue for military personnel. Of particular importance are those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-positive S. aureus (PVL-SA), as they have been associated with outbreaks of SSTIs. A prospective observational study was conducted in Royal Marine (RM) recruits to investigate the prevalence of PVL-SA carriage and any association with SSTIs. METHODS A total of 1012 RM recruits were followed through a 32-week training programme, with nose and throat swabs obtained at weeks 1, 6, 15 and 32. S. aureus isolates were characterized by antibiotic susceptibility testing, spa typing, presence of mecA/C and PVL genes. Retrospective review of the clinical notes for SSTI acquisition was conducted. RESULTS S. aureus colonization decreased from Week 1 to Week 32 (41% to 26%, p < 0.0001). Of 1168 S. aureus isolates, three out of 1168 (0.3%) were MRSA and ten out of 1168 (0.9%) PVL-positive (all MSSA) and 169 out of 1168 (14.5%) were resistant to clindamycin. Isolates showed genetic diversity with 238 different spa types associated with 25 multi-locus sequence type (MLST) clonal complexes. SSTIs were seen in 35% (351/989) of recruits with 3 training days lost per recruit. SSTI acquisition rate was reduced amongst persistent carriers (p < 0.0283). CONCLUSIONS Nose and throat carriage of MRSA and PVL-SA was low among recruits, despite a high incidence of SSTIs being reported, particularly cellulitis. Carriage strains were predominantly MSSA with a marked diversity of genotypes. Persistent nose and/or throat carriage was not associated with SSTI acquisition. Putative person-to-person transmission within troops was identified based on spa typing requiring further research to confirm and explore potential transmission routes.

Abstract
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Equine grass sickness (EGS) is of unknown aetiology. Despite some evidence suggesting that it represents a toxico-infection with Clostridium botulinum types C and/or D, the effect of EGS on the functional targets of botulinum neurotoxins, namely the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins, is unknown. Further, while it is commonly stated that, unlike EGS, equine botulism is not associated with autonomic and enteric neurodegeneration, this has not been definitively assessed. OBJECTIVES To determine: 1) whether botulism causes autonomic and enteric neurodegeneration; and 2) the effect of EGS on the expression of SNARE proteins within cranial cervical ganglion (CCG) and enteric neuronal perikarya. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive study. METHODS Light microscopy was used to compare the morphology of neurons in haematoxylin-eosin stained sections of CCG and ileum from 6 EGS horses, 5 botulism horses and 6 control horses. Immunohistochemistry was used to compare the expression of synaptosomal-associated protein-25, synaptobrevin (Syb) and syntaxin within CCG neurons, and of Syb in enteric neurons, from horses with EGS, horses with botulism and control horses. The concentrations of these SNARE proteins in extracts of CCG from EGS and control horses were compared using quantitative fluorescent western blotting. RESULTS EGS, but not botulism, was associated with autonomic and enteric neurodegeneration and with increased immunoreactivity for SNARE proteins within neuronal perikarya. Quantitative fluorescent western blotting confirmed increased concentrations of synaptosomal-associated protein-25, Syb and syntaxin within CCG extracts from EGS vs. control horses, with the increases in the latter 2 proteins being statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of autonomic and enteric neurodegeneration, and increased expression of SNARE proteins within neuronal perikarya, in EGS but not botulism, suggests that EGS may not be caused by botulinum neurotoxins. Further investigation of the aetiology of EGS is therefore warranted.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to investigate vitamin D status and stress fracture risk during Royal Marine military training. Poor vitamin D status was associated with an increased risk of stress fracture. Vitamin D supplementation may help to reduce stress fracture risk in male military recruits with low vitamin D status. INTRODUCTION Stress fracture is a common overuse injury in military recruits, including Royal Marine (RM) training in the UK. RM training is recognised as one of the most arduous basic training programmes in the world. Associations have been reported between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and risk of stress fracture, but the threshold of 25(OH)D for this effect remains unclear. We aimed to determine if serum 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with stress fracture risk during RM training. METHODS We prospectively followed 1082 RM recruits (males aged 16-32 years) through the 32-week RM training programme. Troops started training between September and July. Height, body weight and aerobic fitness were assessed at week 1. Venous blood samples were drawn at weeks 1, 15 and 32. Serum samples were analysed for 25(OH)D and parathyroid hormone (PTH). RESULTS Seventy-eight recruits (7.2 %) suffered a total of 92 stress fractures. Recruits with a baseline serum 25(OH)D concentration below 50 nmol L(-1) had a higher incidence of stress fracture than recruits with 25(OH)D concentration above this threshold (χ(2) (1) = 3.564, p = 0.042; odds ratio 1.6 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.0-2.6)). Baseline serum 25(OH)D varied from 47.0 ± 23.7 nmol L(-1) in February, to 97.3 ± 24.6 nmol L(-1) in July (overall mean 69.2 ± 29.2 nmol L(-1), n = 1016). There were weak inverse correlations between serum 25(OH)D and PTH concentrations at week 15 (r = -0.209, p < 0.001) and week 32 (r = -0.214, p < 0.001), but not at baseline. CONCLUSION Baseline serum 25(OH)D concentration below 50 nmol L(-1) was associated with an increased risk of stress fracture. Further studies into the effects of vitamin D supplementation on stress fracture risk are certainly warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between physical signs of elbow dysplasia and radiographic appearance of the elbow joints in growing dogs. DESIGN Prospective study. ANIMALS 55 Rottweiler pups. PROCEDURE Owners of clinically normal Rottweiler pups were contacted through breed clubs in 3 Australian states and asked to participate in the study. All those offering to participate were included. PROCEDURE The first physical examination was performed when pups were 3 months old and included a lameness evaluation and palpation of the elbow joints. Physical examinations were repeated when pups were 5, 6, 9, and 12 months old. Radiographs of the elbows were obtained at 6 and 12 months. Relationships among lameness, decreased range of movement, signs of pain, and radiographic data related to elbow dysplasia were examined. RESULTS Elbow dysplasia caused clinical lameness in only 3 dogs but 57% of dogs developed radiographic signs of elbow dysplasia by 12 months of age. A grade-2 radiographic score at 12 months of age was significantly associated with clinical elbow dysplasia. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Elbow dysplasia has a prevalence of > 50% in certain breed populations. This study supports radiographic screening at 12 months of age, accompanied by physical examination to detect clinical elbow dysplasia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the pattern of newly diagnosed HIV infection in Australia, between 1984 and 1992. METHODS State and Territory health authorities reported cases of newly diagnosed HIV infection to the national HIV surveillance centre. Information sought on each case included the State or Territory of diagnosis, the case identifying number, the sex, date of birth and postcode of residence of the person with newly diagnosed HIV infection, the source of exposure to HIV and the date of specimen collection for the diagnosis of infection. RESULTS By the end of December 1992, a total of 16,765 cases of newly diagnosed HIV infection had been reported in Australia. The annual number of cases declined between 1985 and 1992. Most diagnoses were among males, and exposure to HIV was attributed to male homosexual contact for more than 80% of cases for which information on exposure to HIV was available. Cases of HIV infection attributed to heterosexual contact represented an increasing proportion of the annual number of diagnoses over the period 1985-1992, among both men and women. CONCLUSION National surveillance for newly diagnosed HIV infection has complemented national surveillance for diagnoses of AIDS as a key mechanism for monitoring the course of the HIV epidemic in Australia. The pattern of newly diagnosed HIV infection was similar to the pattern of AIDS diagnoses, with the overwhelming majority of diagnoses of infection being in adult males whose exposure to HIV was attributed to homosexual contact. Limitations of HIV surveillance include the lack of information on HIV testing patterns, incomplete information on HIV exposure histories and duplication of reported diagnoses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the nature and extent of bereavement problems in HIV + ve clients and the counselling input required. DESIGN Ninety individuals referred consecutively for counselling by the medical teams after HIV diagnoses were included in the study. Specific bereavement data was gathered by each counsellor according to schedule and semi-structured interviews for all 90 subjects. These data were analysed in conjunction with medical referral letters. SETTING HIV positive clients attending for treatment at an inner London Hospital. SUBJECTS The subjects were 91% males and 9% females, mean age 33.82 years (SD 7.2, range 15 to 50 years, mode 28). 44.8% were diagnosed as HIV + ve (asymptomatic), 42.5% had an AIDS diagnosis and the remainder were coded as AIDS Related Complex or unclear. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The subjects were monitored for the presence or absence of bereavement issues, the nature and extent of the reactions and counselling input. The occurrence of single and multiple bereavements was monitored, as were the relationship to the index patient and the health status of the bereaved. RESULTS Bereavement was mentioned in 28.2% of referrals from medical practitioners yet 43.1% of the patients had been bereaved and used bereavement counselling. 43% spontaneously commenced the session with bereavement issues. They had lost 348 people (average of 12.9 deaths per person reporting). These were overwhelmingly due to AIDS with only 12 (5.6%) not HIV related. 65% linked the bereavement to their own death. Emotional reaction seemed to be independent of the relationship with the deceased but linked with the diagnosis status of the bereaved. CONCLUSION The emotional consequences of a loss can be severe and long term. The advent of AIDS/HIV has revealed a wave of deaths in a population unused to facing traumatic loss to this extent. There are particular features surrounding AIDS and HIV infection which may differ dramatically from other sorts of loss and challenge previously held notions of bereavement such as the age of the clients, the fact that bereavements are often multiple the illness state of the bereaved person, the taboo surrounding AIDS which often presents barriers to wider social support and the catalogue of losses which any individual has to face. The frequency and high rate of bereavement, often not noted by referrers, suggests similarity with disaster literature in terms of counselling demand.
