Background/Aim: Cataract is the leading cause of reversible blindness and visual impairment worldwide. Although cataract surgery using phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is one of the commonest surgical procedures, IOL opacification remains a potential complication that can affect the visual outcome of the operation. Case Report: A 50-year-old female patient presented to our clinic complaining of glare and blurry vision in her right eye over the previous 6 weeks. She had undergone bilateral refractive lens exchange elsewhere 9 months earlier. Her unaided distance visual acuity was 8/10 in the right eye and 10/10 in the left. On slit-lamp examination, we observed the presence of in-the-bag, multifocal, hydrophobic acrylic IOLs bilaterally. Specifically, calcified deposits within the substance of the IOL were observed. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first case of spontaneous calcification of a hydrophobic multifocal IOL and all cataract/refractive surgeons should be aware of this rare complication. © 2018 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.

Activation of T cells requires both TCR-specific ligation by direct contact with peptide Ag-MHC complexes and coligation of the B7 family of ligands through CD28/CTLA-4 on the T cell surface. We recently reported that coadministration of CD86 cDNA along with DNA encoding HIV-1 Ags i.m. dramatically increased Ag-specific CTL responses. We investigated whether the bone marrow-derived professional APCs or muscle cells were responsible for the enhancement of CTL responses following CD86 coadministration. Accordingly, we analyzed CTL induction in bone marrow chimeras. These chimeras are capable of generating functional viral-specific CTLs against vaccinia virus and therefore represent a useful model system to study APC/T cell function in vivo. In vaccinated chimeras, we observed that only CD86 + Ag + MHC class I results in 1) detectable CTLs following in vitro restimulation, 2) detectable direct CTLs, 3) enhanced IFN-γ production in an Ag-specific manner, and 4) dramatic tissue invasion of T cells. These results support that CD86 plays a central role in CTL induction in vivo, enabling non-bone marrow-derived cells to prime CTLs, a property previously associated solely with bone marrow-derived APCs.

This project looked at designing a supply chain solution to improve the energy efficiency of the vast majority of the 26 million UK homes which will still be in use by 2050.It looked to identify ways in which the refurbishment and retrofitting of existing residential properties can be accelerated by industrialising the processes of design, supply and implementation, while stimulating demand from householders by exploiting additional opportunities that come with extensive building refurbishment.The project developed a top-to-bottom process, using a method of analysing the most cost-effective package of measures suitable for a particular property, through to how these will be installed with the minimum disruption to the householder. This includes identifying the skills required of the people on the ground as well as the optimum material distribution networks to supply them with exactly what is required and when.This deliverable is number 5 of 8 in Work Package 4.The report builds on the previous Target Retrofit Supply Chain Scenarios report (WP4.3) to presents detailed plans for delivery of mass-scale whole house retrofit. This covers the survey and installation processes, the cost of retrofitting the most common property types in the UK and how cost is built up. In addition a market take up hypothesis has been generated based on which customer segments will take up retrofit first; this allowed an estimate of regional coverage for retrofit capacity (manpower, materials and competencies) to be made. This has been dependent on the building stock modelling functionality developed in Work Package 2 of the project.Key MessagesThe 4 hour detailed survey with 2 people is possible (even for the most difficult house) and there is scope to reducethis further.It has been shown to be possible to retrofit the two levels of intervention, Retro Fix and Retro Plus, across the modelled house types in 10 elapsed days or less (depending on property size/ complexity and weather permitting) using a team of 4 poly-competent retrofitters.Increasing competencies will be vital to deliver retrofit brilliantly and at scale - new training systems are required to provide an up-skilling route for people wishing to enter the retrofit industry.New or simplified accreditation and warranty systems are needed for retrofitStandard retrofit solutions will help generate efficiency gains and simplify the provision of materials.Progress has been made to understand how cost is built up within the supply chain but further work is needed to allow key players to share cost information.Retrofit cost of under£10,000 for most house types is feasible but challenging for most house types based on our understanding of how cost is built up within the supply chain. More specific cost data will be generated for common house archetypes;These will be presented in follow up reports for this work package.

This report presents the development of the framework of an adaptable and scalable supply chain to meet customers’ requirements for whole house retrofit for improved thermal efficiency.A workshop approach was used to identify 10 different customer segments’ perceptions of why andhow they might retrofit their home.When the results from all 10 groups had been completed and analysed, it emerged that all customer segments required a major improvement in the level of trust in building work providers, both in the capability to meet their expectations and integrity to offer the right solution.The following conclusions arise from comparing future state requirements with current capabilityHouseholders want to limit the number of people in their home for retrofit work:A systems approach to design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of retrofitis likely to deliver significant benefits in cost, speed and efficiency.Integration of the whole spectrum of retrofit activities from survey, through design, product manufacture and installation is needed to retrofit of 26 million UK homes before 2050.Changes in incentives, accreditation and possibly legislation will be needed to allow required changes to working methods and systems of retrofit delivery to be successfully employed.Conventional business processes with incremental improvement from current modelsis unlikely to result in sufficient supply chain performance improvement to deliver whole house retrofit at a mass scale. A step change or new disruptive propositions are required to achieve the required speed, reliability and customer service which current providers do not deliver today.Appendices 1.1 to 1.10 are available as separate documents.Busy StartersEarly EnterprisersGreener GraduatesMiddle GroundersUrban ConstrainedSuccessful RuralitesUnconvinced DependentsTransitional RetireesElderly EstablishedStretched PensionersThe other appendices are in the body of this document.Please note this report was produced in 2011/2012 and its contents may be out of date

This includes identifying the skills required of the people on the ground as well as the optimum material distribution networks to supply them with exactly what is required and when.This deliverable is number 4 of 8 in Work Package 4.The report builds on prior work in Work Package 4 together with taking inputs from WP3.4b (Single Dwelling Implementation Plan) and WP5.4 (Consumer Engagement) to test out 5 models of supply chain design against the requirements of consumer segments with whom a successful retrofit engagement is most likely. On site approaches to deliver the basic and enhance retrofit packages designed in WP3.4b are presented with the conclusion that most can be delivered in 3 – 5 days stretching to 7 days for the most complicated.The report proposes that a national franchise model for retrofit is the most appropriate for the successful up-take of mass retrofit.This is Appendix C: Stakeholder InterviewsPlease note this report was produced in 2011/2012 and its contents may be out of date.
