Aims Twenty per cent of patients with non-small cell lung cancer present with stage III locally advanced disease. Precision radiotherapy with pencil beam scanning (PBS) protons may improve outcomes. However, stage III is a heterogeneous group and accounting for complex tumour motion is challenging. As yet, it remains unclear as to whom will benefit. In our retrospective planning study, we explored if patients with superior sulcus tumours (SSTs) are a select cohort who might benefit from this treatment. Materials and methods Patients with SSTs treated with radical radiotherapy using four-dimensional planning computed tomography between 2010 and 2015 were identified. Tumour motion was assessed and excluded if greater than 5 mm. Photon volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and PBS proton single-field optimisation plans, with and without inhomogeneity corrections, were generated retrospectively. Robustness analysis was assessed for VMAT and PBS plans involving: (i) 5 mm geometric uncertainty, with an additional 3.5% range uncertainty for proton plans; (ii) verification plans at maximal inhalation and exhalation. Comparative dosimetric and robustness analyses were carried out. Results Ten patients were suitable. The mean clinical target volume D95 was 98.1% ± 0.4 (97.5–98.8) and 98.4% ± 0.2 (98.1–98.9) for PBS and VMAT plans, respectively. All normal tissue tolerances were achieved. The same four PBS and VMAT plans failed robustness assessment. Inhomogeneity corrections minimally impacted proton plan robustness and made it worse in one case. The most important factor affecting target coverage and robustness was the clinical target volume entering the spinal canal. Proton plans significantly reduced the mean lung dose (by 21.9%), lung V5, V10, V20 (by 47.9%, 36.4%, 12.1%, respectively), mean heart dose (by 21.4%) and thoracic vertebra dose (by 29.2%) (P, Highlights • Robust scanning proton plans are feasible in patients with superior sulcus tumours. • Target coverage is comparable to volumetric-modulated arc therapy plans. • Considerable dose reduction to the thoracic vertebra, lungs and heart is possible. • Using an inhomogeneity correction did not improve robustness. • The same proton and photon plans failed robustness assessment.

Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020 and global surgical practice was compromised. This Commission aimed to document and reflect on the changes seen in the surgical environment during the pandemic, by reviewing colleagues’ experiences and published evidence. Methods In late 2020, BJS contacted colleagues across the global surgical community and asked them to describe how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) had affected their practice. In addition to this, the Commission undertook a literature review on the impact of COVID-19 on surgery and perioperative care. A thematic analysis was performed to identify the issues most frequently encountered by the correspondents, as well as the solutions and ideas suggested to address them. Results BJS received communications for this Commission from leading clinicians and academics across a variety of surgical specialties in every inhabited continent. The responses from all over the world provided insights into multiple facets of surgical practice from a governmental level to individual clinical practice and training. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered a variety of problems in healthcare systems, including negative impacts on surgical practice. Global surgical multidisciplinary teams are working collaboratively to address research questions about the future of surgery in the post-COVID-19 era. The COVID-19 pandemic is severely damaging surgical training. The establishment of a multidisciplinary ethics committee should be encouraged at all surgical oncology centres. Innovative leadership and collaboration is vital in the post-COVID-19 era.

Wild-caught synanthropic flies were tested for the presence of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia on their exoskeletons and in their digestive tracks by fluorescent in situ hybridization and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated monoclonal antibody (MAb) against Cryptosporidium and Giardia cell wall epitopes. The levels of C. parvum were positively correlated with the levels of G. lamblia, indicating a common source of contamination. The majority of oocysts and cysts were potentially viable (C. parvum = 80% and G. lamblia = 69%). More G. lamblia cysts occurred on the exoskeleton of the flies than within the digestive tracts; the opposite relationship was observed for C. parvum. No genotype other than C. parvum G2 was found to be associated with flies. Because filth flies carry viable C. parvum oocysts and G. lamblia cysts acquired naturally from unhygienic sources, they can be involved in the epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis. Fluorescent oligonucleotide probes used together with FITC-conjugated MAb represent a convenient and cost-effective technique for rapid and specific identification of human-infectious species of Cryptosporidium and Giardia mechanically transported by flies, and for the assessment of the viability of these pathogens.

The authors conducted a survey of small streams to evaluate the effects of centralized and onsite wastewater treatment on the occurrence of selected traditional and emerging contaminants in small streams in the upper Neuse River basin, North Carolina. An undeveloped site was included to assess effects of residential land use activities on stream quality. Concentrations of nutrients and ions were higher in samples from streams in residential sites than from the stream in an undeveloped area. Overall, streams draining residential areas showed relatively small differences with respect to type of wastewater treatment. Two sites, however--one in an area of centralized wastewater treatment apparently near a suspected sewer line leak, and the second in an area of onsite wastewater treatment--showed effects of wastewater. Organic wastewater compounds were detected more frequently in samples from these two sites than from the other sites. Optical brighteners levels were correlated (r2 = .88) with the number of organic wastewater and pharmaceutical compounds detected at the residential sites and could potentially serve as a screening method to assess wastewater effects on small streams.

AIMS--To compare the two breast tumour markers, CA15-3 and mucinous-like carcinoma associated antigen (MCA), using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. METHODS--One hundred and ninety six patients "presenting" with breast carcinoma had serum CA15-3 and MCA concentrations measured. RESULTS--Using these markers as indicators of stage IV disease at the recommended laboratory level, true positive rates (TPR) and false positive rates (FPR) were obtained as follows: CA15-3 TPR = 75%, FPR = 7.4%, MCA TPR = 80%, FPR = 59.1%. By increasing the CA15-3 cutoff level to 45 U/ml, a TPR and FPR of 75% and 0.6%, respectively were obtained. By increasing the MCA cutoff level to 23 U/ml, a TPR and FPR of 65% and 2.3%, respectively, were obtained. CONCLUSIONS--Using ROC curve analysis shows that CA15-3 is a superior indicator of metastatic breast disease than MCA at recommended laboratory levels, and by altering the cutoff points, the specificity and sensitivity for both these markers can be improved.

Objectives: A significant proportion of the older population may exhibit vitamin D insufficiency. We sought to establish the proportion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) insufficient individuals in an older female cohort presenting for acute medical admission and how they responded to supplementation. Design: A prospective cohort study. Setting: Hospital admissions followed up as a population-based study. Subjects: A total of 114 consecutive female acute medical admissions aged over 65 years from November 2003 to January 2004 were enrolled. All admissions with hypercalcaemia, metabolic bone disease (other than osteoporosis/osteomalacia) and creatinine >= 150 mu mol/l were excluded. Interventions: iPTH, calcium and 25OHD levels were measured in each patient. Of the total, 22 were already receiving calcium and vitamin D supplementation at enrolment. The remaining 92 were commenced on 800 IU of vitamin D and 1 g calcium, and levels were reassessed after supplementation for 3 months. Results: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency, as defined by a 25OHD concentration of < 50 nmol/l, was present in 86 (75.4%) patients at initial assessment (mean 35.8 nmol/l, s.d. 23.3). Secondary hyperparathyroidism was present in only 36.7% of those with 25OHD deficiency at baseline. Of the total, 51 (44.7%) patients presented for follow-up. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D concentration increased in this group from 42.1 nmol/l (s.d. 26.6) to 59.5 nmol/l (s.d. 27.4) after supplementation, P < 0.001, but 18(35.3%) still remained deficient. There was no significant change in iPTH or calcium following supplementation. Assessment of compliance revealed 6 (11.7%) admitted to partial or non-compliance. Conclusions: Insufficiency of 25OHD was very common in this cohort. Despite calcium and vitamin D supplementation, 25OHD concentrations failed to reach normality in a significant proportion. Maintaining vitamin D and calcium intake at the level of current recommended doses may not be sufficient to ensure adequate 25OHD stores.

CA 15–3 has been most widely used as a serum tumor marker in follow-up and detection of breast cancer recurrence. In this study we have specifically focused upon the prognostic implications and utility of preoperative CA 15–3 levels. We have identified on our database 414 patients with breast cancer in whom serial levels of the serum tumor marker CA 15–3 had been determined at diagnosis and follow-up. We have analyzed the follow-up and clinical outcomes in these patients and from this data we have assessed the potential of CA 15–3 as a predictor of five-year overall and disease-free survival. Our results show that an initially elevated CA 15–3 level is associated with a very poor prognosis in both early and late stage disease. Elevated pre-biopsy CA 15–3 levels are associated with 14% five-year disease-free survival rates and 17% overall survival rates at five years. In contrast, normal CA 15–3 levels are associated with 47% five-year disease-free survival rates and 54% overall survival rates at five years (p

In this study we looked at what useful information cytokeratin fragment detected by antibodies BM 19-21 and KS 19-1 (CYFRA 21.1), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neurone-specific enolase (NSE), tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS), and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) gave when measured prospectively. All patients who were suspected of having lung cancer and who underwent diagnostic bronchoscopy in this hospital between July 1994 and May 1995 were included in the study. Of 184 patients, 87 were subsequently found to have intrathoracic malignancy, 93 were found to have benign lung disease and four were lost to follow-up. CYFRA 21.1 was the most efficient marker in differentiating benign from malignant disease, with a sensitivity of 54% and a positive predictive value of 96%. Thirty seven patients who had a negative bronchoscopy subsequently turned out to have malignant disease. Either CYFRA 21.1 or CEA was elevated in 26 (70%) of such patients. Multivariate analysis showed that only CYFRA 21.1 and CEA contributed significantly to the discriminatory power of the data. We conclude that measurement of cytokeratin fragment detected by antibodies BM 19-21 and KS 19-1 and carcinoembryonic antigen at the time of bronchoscopy significantly increased the diagnostic yield in this population and was especially useful in those patients in whom tumour biopsy was not possible at bronchoscopy.

In this study of 500 patients with breast carcinoma, we have prospectively assessed the role of preoperative CA 15-3 as a marker of disease burden over a 7 year period. CA 15-3 levels at presentation correlate with stage of disease, tumour size, lymph node status, the presence of metastases and lymphocyte infiltration into the tumour. CA 15-3 alone is not an independent prognostic indicator, although a serum level of > 40 U ml(-1) has a positive predictive value of 83% for the presence of advanced disease. We recommend the routine use of this marker in the preoperative assessment of primary breast carcinoma.

Carcinoma of the breast is the most common malignancy in women and is frequently associated with metastatic bone disease and its associated osteolytic morbidity and mortality. Traditional radiological methods for mass screening bony secondaries are not cost-effective. We examined the value of the tumour marker 'CA15-3' as an alternative to conventional isotope bone scintigraphy. A total of 218 patients with breast cancer was evaluated over a 4-year period. Venous CA15-3 levels were obtained at 3-monthly intervals and bone scintigraphy annually or if the patient developed locomotor symptoms or exhibited elevated CA15-3 levels. Of these patients, 33 with metastatic breast carcinoma had an elevated tumour marker level at the time of diagnosis of their metastases; bone metastases alone = 15/17 (88%), soft tissue metastases alone = 2/6 (33%), simultaneous bony and soft tissue metastases = 7/10 (70%). The preponderance of an elevated CA15-3 in metastatic bone disease, be it in isolation or in combination with non-bone metastases, yields a sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of 81.5%, 66% and 92%, respectively. Although 22 of the 27 patients had an elevated CA15-3 at the time of diagnosis of their bone metastases, the remaining five patients (with tumour marker levels in the normal range) showed a similar, albeit a delayed, increase (median = 3 months). Thus, all metastatic bone disease patients demonstrated elevated marker levels. We recommend CA15-3 as a simple, reliable and inexpensive screening method for detecting bone metastases in the patient with breast carcinoma.

The variation of ultimate tensile strength with thermal treatment of B-Al composite materials and of boron fibers chemically removed from these composites in an attempt to determine the mechanism of the resulting strength degradation was studied. Findings indicate that thermally cycling B-Al represents a more severe condition than equivalent time at temperature. Degradation of composite tensile strength from about 1.3 GN/m squared to as low as 0.34 GN/m squared was observed after 3,000 cycles to 420 C for 203 micrometers B-1100 Al composite. In general, the 1100 Al matrix composites degraded somewhat more than the 6061 matrix material studied. Measurement of fiber strengths confirmed a composite strength loss due to the degradation of fiber strength. Microscopy indicated a highly flawed fiber surface.

An outbreak of hepatitis-associated-antigen-(HB Ag)-positive hepatitis in a hospital unit for the care of male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is described. Sixty-four patients were studied of whom 37 were HB Ag positive. Hepatitis developed in at least 20 and was icteric in 11. The illness was mild, without fatality due to hepatitis and persistent jaundice did not occur. A carrier state developed in 15 of 24 HB Ag-positive patients followed up for more than six months and was unrelated to the presence or absence of initial hepatitis. Spread of HB Ag to domestic and medical staff occurred and following the discharge of the patients, household contacts became positive. Five, all wives of patients, developed jaundice. Faeces and sputum were HB Ag negative in seropositive cases. The origin of the outbreak remains undetected. The probability of non-parenteral transmission of HB Ag in this outbreak is discussed. Closure of the unit, isolation of HB Ag-positive cases with separate toilet and kitchen facilities, and discharge of patients when their respiratory condition allowed, resulted in prevention of further spread and eventually all patients were discharged from the unit.

Practitioners in a regional education service agency have a singular and unique view of reality. Perceptions of theory, research, and development need to be seen in the context, the setting of the agency, the kind of staff it attracts, the nature of the relationship between the staff and the local school district, and how the staff performs through its own initiative and/or responds to expressions of need by local school leadership. Simply stated, the regional service agency is a user rather than a developer of new knowledge, for it tends to be more concerned with troublesome and persistent problems at the local level. Acting as consultant/broker/disseminator, the staff of the agency is mindful of the principles of local problem ownership and local involvement in planning for problem identification and uncovering alternative solutions. In performing its role, the regional agency acts as collector, filter, synthesizer, and analyzer of an inordinate amount of extant research ranging broadly in topical areas and incorporating fundamental research as well as theory and applications of products and processes. The greater the extent to which such information can be transferred expeditiously through inhouse mechanisms, the better able the staff member of the regional agency is to facilitate improvement at the local level. At the same time, the staff member is in a good position to

Analytical-grade magnesium oxide powder without binder was compressed hydrostatically to 50,000 lb. per sq. in. to form compacts. When exposed to moist air immediately after pressing, these compacts developed irregularly shaped cracks. Controlled tests, in which these compacts were exposed for various lengths of time to various atmospheres, indicated that in general water vapor, carbon dioxide, and residual stresses had to be present if cracking was to occur. The probable cause of the cracking was the formation of a less dense and mechanically weak basic carbonate of magnesium at crystallite surface points of high stress concentration which developed during the compacting. The adsorption of dry CO2 at such sites prevented subsequent delayed fracture.

Ultrastructural changes resulting from treatment with the sodium selective ionophore, monensin, were studied in embryogenic suspension cultures of carrot, Daucus carota (L.) in the presence of 10 microM monensin, an early change in the Golgi apparatus was an increase in the number of cisternae per stack (dictyosome). An average of one additional cisterna per stack was formed within the first 2 to 4 min of monensin treatment; in some experiments a second cisterna was formed within about 8 min. Thereafter, large vacuoles began to appear in the cytoplasm adjacent to the Golgi apparatus with a return of the number of cisternae per dictyosomal stack to the control number of about 5. Cells treated comparable but in the absence of monensin showed no ultrastructural changes during the entire observation period. By 1 h of monensin treatment, the regions of the cells containing dictyosomes were populated by large number of vacuoles (up to 20 or more per electron microscope section). These vacuoles were interpreted as swollen dictyosome cisternae that separated from the stack but had not migrated from the Golgi apparatus zone in the monensin-treated cells. The results permitted an estimation of the average time for formation of a new dictyosome cisterna of 2 to 4 min. This range of values agreed with estimates for mammalian cells from short time labeling and turnover experiments of 3 to 4 min assuming a dynamic model for Golgi apparatus function in which cisternae are released from a maturing face and new cisternae are built up at an opposite or forming face.

There is increasing interest in the potential role of monoclonal antibodies as tumour markers in the early detection of metastatic disease. CA15-3 is a circulating antigen which is relatively specific for breast tissue and defined by two monoclonal antibodies. It is elevated in the serum of patients with breast cancer but its relationship to clinical stage and tumour progression has not been well defined. CA15-3 levels have been measured in a consecutive series of 97 patients with breast cancer at the time of diagnosis and at 3-monthly intervals thereafter. All patients have been evaluated and followed by using routine biochemical and radiological parameters to detect occult metastatic disease. There was no difference between a control group of patients who presented with benign disease (n = 18: mean(s.d.) 18·0(5·1) units/ml): and those who presented with stage I disease (n = 37: 18·4(5·3) units/ml) or stage II disease (n = 21: 18·0(4·0) units/ml). Patients with stage III disease (n = 23: 32·0(10·4) units/ml) had significantly elevated levels of CA15-3 compared with those in stage I (P

THE uptake of metal ions by the walls of glass vessels is a frequently encountered phenomenon in analytical chemistry and radiochemistry, and is responsible for the difficulty of maintaining dilute solutions at a known concentration during storage. In general this problem is overcome by making such solutions acid, and neutralizing immediately before use. This technique is not applicable, however, when it is necessary to use the same solution at neutral pH for long periods of time.

- Abstract
Introduction: Postnatal depression affects up to one in six new mothers in Australia each year, with significant impacts on the woman and her family. Prevention strategies can be complicated by a woman's reluctance to seek professional help. Peer support is a promising but inadequately tested early intervention. Very few trials have reported on the efficacy of peer support in the perinatal period and no study has been undertaken in Australia. We will explore if proactive telephone-based peer (mother-to-mother) support, provided to women identified as being at high risk of postnatal depression, impacts on clinically significant depressive symptomatology at 6 months postpartum., Methods and Analysis: This is a protocol for a single-blinded, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial conducted in Melbourne, Australia. Eligible women will be recruited from either the postnatal units of two maternity hospitals, or around 4 weeks postpartum at maternal and child health centres within two metropolitan council areas. A total of 1060 (530/group) women will be recruited and randomly allocated (1:1 ratio) to either-usual care, to receive the standard community postpartum services available to them, or the intervention group, to receive proactive telephone-based support from a peer volunteer for 6 months, in addition to standard community services., Primary Outcome: clinically significant depressive symptomatology at 6 months postpartum as measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale., Secondary Outcomes: symptoms of anxiety and/or stress, health-related quality of life, loneliness, perception of partner support, self-rated parenting, child health and development, infant feeding and health service use. The cost-effectiveness of the intervention relative to standard care will also be assessed., Ethics and Dissemination: Ethics approval has been obtained from La Trobe University, St. Vincent's Hospital, the Royal Women's Hospital, Northern Health, Victorian Department of Health and Human Services and Victorian Department of Education and Training. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants before randomisation. Trial results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and a higher degree thesis., Trial Registration Number: ACTRN12619000684123; Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Objective: The 'Ringing Up about Breastfeeding earlY' (RUBY) randomised controlled trial showed increased breastfeeding at 6 months in participants who received the proactive telephone-based peer support breastfeeding intervention compared with participants allocated to receive standard care and supports. The present study aimed to evaluate if the intervention was cost-effective., Design: A within-trial cost-effectiveness analysis., Setting: Three metropolitan maternity services in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia., Participants: First time mothers intending to breastfeed their infant (1152) and peer volunteers (246)., Intervention: The intervention comprised proactive telephone-based support from a peer volunteer from early postpartum up to 6 months. Participants were allocated to usual care (n=578) or the intervention (n=574)., Main Outcome Measures: Costs during a 6-month follow-up period including individual healthcare, breastfeeding support and intervention costs in all participants, and an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio., Results: Costs per mother supported were valued at $263.75 (or $90.33 excluding costs of donated volunteer time). There was no difference between the two arms in costs for infant and mothers in healthcare and breastfeeding support costs. These figures result in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $4146 ($1393 if volunteer time excluded) per additional mother breast feeding at 6 months., Conclusion: Considering the significant improvement in breastfeeding outcomes, this intervention is potentially cost-effective. These findings, along with the high value placed on the intervention by women and peer volunteers provides robust evidence to upscale the implementation of this intervention., Trial Registration Number: ACTRN12612001024831., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2023.

- Abstract
Objective: To update the 2012 UK stereotacticablative radiotherapy (SABR) Consortium survey and assess the development of SABR services across the UK over the past 6 years. Use the results to share practice and continue to drive forward technique development, aid standardization and by highlighting issues, improve access to SABR services and trials across the UK., Methods: In January 2018, an online questionnaire was sent by the UK SABR Consortium to 65 UK radiotherapy institutions covering current service provision and collecting data on immobilization, motion management, scanning protocols, target/OAR delineation, planning, image-guidance, quality assurance and future plans., Results: 50 (77%) institutions responded, 38 ( vs 15 in 2012) indicated they had an active SABR programme with the remaining 12 centres intending to develop a SABR programmeDocumented changes include the development of Linac delivered SABR to non-lung sites, an increase in centres using abdominal compression (14 vs 2) and the introduction of four-dimensional cone beam CBCT. Current practice is broadly in line with UK SABR Consortium and European guidelines., Conclusion: This 2018 survey shows a welcome increase in SABR provision, surpassing 2012 projections. However, it is clear that the UK SABR program needs to continue to expand to ensure that patients with oligometastatic disease have access and SABR for early stage lung cancer is available in all centres. Updated guidance that addresses variability in target delineation, image guidance and reduces patient specific quality assurance is warranted., Advances in Knowledge: Documented progress of UK SABR across all treatment sites over the last six years, barriers to implementation and future plans., (© 2019 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: Significant gaps exist in education for prospective and new parents, especially for some of the most vulnerable families. Prospective parents would like more information during pregnancy to prepare them for parenting, and need access to trusted and quality information. The Royal Women's Hospital (the Women's) in Melbourne, Australia, a large tertiary referral maternity hospital, developed a parenting education kit known as 'Growing Together'. The kit, designed to guide prospective and new parents from conception until 1 year after birth, includes three components: an A4 sized book, a specifically designed 'App' and a children's story book. We aim to evaluate the impact of the kit on a range of outcomes., Methods: A two-arm cluster randomised controlled trial will be used. Antenatal clinic days will be randomised to either the intervention or standard care arms. Women in the intervention arm receive the kit at their antenatal booking visit. Women in the standard care arm receive the standard information resources at the Women's. Analyses will be by intention to treat., Inclusion Criteria: primiparous women with adequate English-speaking ability and ≤ 30 weeks' gestation at first pregnancy booking appointment. The primary outcome of the study is the 'experience of motherhood questionnaire' (EMQ), a 20 item validated self-report measure, ranging from 0 to 80, with lower scores indicating better maternal health and wellbeing. To detect a 10% difference in new mothers scoring ≤40 between women who have received the kit (60%) and those who have not (50%), would require 408 per group (total of 816 women) with 95% confidence and 80% power. Allowing for loss to follow up, we aim to recruit 1000 mothers. Secondary outcomes include parents' views and experiences of their care and of the kit during pregnancy and after the birth, parental attachment, knowledge, confidence, wellbeing and health-seeking behaviour; and emotional, developmental and physical health of the infant. Survey data will be collected from mothers at 2, 6 and 12 months postpartum and partners at 6 months., Discussion: This study will provide much needed high-level evidence on the impact of a comprehensive education resource for new parents., Trial Registration: ANZCTRN12615000270516 - Retrospectively registered (23/03/2015); trial started on 16 March 2015.

- Abstract
Background: Low cholesterol has been reliably demonstrated in people who self-harm., Aims: To determine whether people who self-harm also have low levels of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and to examine associations between the EFAs and serotonergic function., Method: Depression, impulsivity and suicidal intent were measured in patients with self-harm (n=40) and matched controls, together with plasma lipids and EFAs. Platelet serotonergic studies were carried out in a subgroup (n=27)., Results: Patients with self-harm had significantly more pathology on all psychometric measures, lower mean total cholesterol levels (4.18 (s.d.=0.93) v. 4.87 (s.d.=0.83) mmol/l, P=0.003) and lower mean total EFA levels (89. 5 (15.6) v.103.7 (17.1) microg/ml, P=0.0001) than controls after adjustment for confounding variables. Total n-3 and n-6 EFA levels were also significantly lower. Impulsivity and depression scores were significantly inversely correlated with both n-6 EFAs and n-3 EFAs, but were not associated with total or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Platelet serotonergic measures did not differ between groups, and were not related to psychobiological measures., Conclusions: Lower plasma EFA levels combined with low cholesterol concentrations were associated with self-harm as well as impulsivity and affect. This was not related to platelet serotonergic measures.

- Abstract
Objectives: A significant proportion of the older population may exhibit vitamin D insufficiency. We sought to establish the proportion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) insufficient individuals in an older female cohort presenting for acute medical admission and how they responded to supplementation., Design: A prospective cohort study., Setting: Hospital admissions followed up as a population-based study., Subjects: A total of 114 consecutive female acute medical admissions aged over 65 years from November 2003 to January 2004 were enrolled. All admissions with hypercalcaemia, metabolic bone disease (other than osteoporosis/osteomalacia) and creatinine > 150 micromol/l were excluded., Interventions: iPTH, calcium and 25OHD levels were measured in each patient. Of the total, 22 were already receiving calcium and vitamin D supplementation at enrolment. The remaining 92 were commenced on 800 IU of vitamin D and 1 g calcium, and levels were reassessed after supplementation for 3 months., Results: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency, as defined by a 25OHD concentration of < 50 nmol/l, was present in 86 (75.4%) patients at initial assessment (mean 35.8 nmol/l, s.d. 23.3). Secondary hyperparathyroidism was present in only 36.7% of those with 25OHD deficiency at baseline. Of the total, 51 (44.7%) patients presented for follow-up. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D concentration increased in this group from 42.1 nmol/l (s.d. 26.6) to 59.5 nmol/l (s.d. 27.4) after supplementation, P < 0.001, but 18(35.3%) still remained deficient. There was no significant change in iPTH or calcium following supplementation. Assessment of compliance revealed 6 (11.7%) admitted to partial or non-compliance., Conclusions: Insufficiency of 25OHD was very common in this cohort. Despite calcium and vitamin D supplementation, 25OHD concentrations failed to reach normality in a significant proportion. Maintaining vitamin D and calcium intake at the level of current recommended doses may not be sufficient to ensure adequate 25OHD stores.

- Abstract
In this study we looked at what useful information cytokeratin fragment detected by antibodies BM 19-21 and KS 19-1 (CYFRA 21.1), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neurone-specific enolase (NSE), tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS), and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) gave when measured prospectively. All patients who were suspected of having lung cancer and who underwent diagnostic bronchoscopy in this hospital between July 1994 and May 1995 were included in the study. Of 184 patients, 87 were subsequently found to have intrathoracic malignancy, 93 were found to have benign lung disease and four were lost to follow-up. CYFRA 21.1 was the most efficient marker in differentiating benign from malignant disease, with a sensitivity of 54% and a positive predictive value of 96%. Thirty seven patients who had a negative bronchoscopy subsequently turned out to have malignant disease. Either CYFRA 21.1 or CEA was elevated in 26 (70%) of such patients. Multivariate analysis showed that only CYFRA 21.1 and CEA contributed significantly to the discriminatory power of the data. We conclude that measurement of cytokeratin fragment detected by antibodies BM 19-21 and KS 19-1 and carcinoembryonic antigen at the time of bronchoscopy significantly increased the diagnostic yield in this population and was especially useful in those patients in whom tumour biopsy was not possible at bronchoscopy.

- Abstract
In this study of 500 patients with breast carcinoma, we have prospectively assessed the role of preoperative CA 15-3 as a marker of disease burden over a 7 year period. CA 15-3 levels at presentation correlate with stage of disease, tumour size, lymph node status, the presence of metastases and lymphocyte infiltration into the tumour. CA 15-3 alone is not an independent prognostic indicator, although a serum level of > 40 U ml-1 has a positive predictive value of 83% for the presence of advanced disease. We recommend the routine use of this marker in the preoperative assessment of primary breast carcinoma.

- Abstract
Carcinoma of the breast is the most common malignancy in women and is frequently associated with metastatic bone disease and its associated osteolytic morbidity and mortality. Traditional radiological methods for mass screening bony secondaries are not cost-effective. We examined the value of the tumour marker 'CA15-3' as an alternative to conventional isotope bone scintigraphy. A total of 218 patients with breast cancer was evaluated over a 4-year period. Venous CA15-3 levels were obtained at 3-monthly intervals and bone scintigraphy annually or if the patient developed locomotor symptoms or exhibited elevated CA15-3 levels. Of these patients, 33 with metastatic breast carcinoma had an elevated tumour marker level at the time of diagnosis of their metastases; bone metastases alone = 15/17 (88%), soft tissue metastases alone = 2/6 (33%), simultaneous bony and soft tissue metastases = 7/10 (70%). The preponderance of an elevated CA15-3 in metastatic bone disease, be it in isolation or in combination with non-bone metastases, yields a sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of 81.5%, 66% and 92%, respectively. Although 22 of the 27 patients had an elevated CA15-3 at the time of diagnosis of their bone metastases, the remaining five patients (with tumour marker levels in the normal range) showed a similar, albeit a delayed, increase (median = 3 months). Thus, all metastatic bone disease patients demonstrated elevated marker levels. We recommend CA15-3 as a simple, reliable and inexpensive screening method for detecting bone metastases in the patient with breast carcinoma.
