Abstract

The population dynamics, vegetative propagation, sexual reproduction, ecology and genetic variation of the rare Scottish plant, Polygonatum verticillatum (L.) All., Whorled Solomon's-seal, were examined. Comparisons were made with populations in Scandinavia where the plant is relatively common. Differences between individual populations and between the two geographic areas are discussed in the context of the rarity and conservation of P. verticillatum in Scotland. Where possible, stages of reproductive failure were identified. Flowering incidence is positively correlated with above-ground shoot size which in turn is related to rhizome biomass. Soil data and other ecological information suggest rhizome growth rates reflects soil nutrient status, and the plant is more likely to flower and to resist competition in nutrient status, and the plant is most likely to flower and resist competition in nutrient-rich sites. Low densities of flowering shoots and a lack of insect pollination appear to be the two most important factors limiting fruit-set in the Scottish populations. In one site there is a high incidence of flower bud abortion and pollen invariability. Preliminary analysis of genetic diversity using RAPDs revealed very low clonal diversity in both the Scottish and Scandinavian populations sampled. Seedlings were found in fewer than half of the Scottish and Scandinavian populations, but infrequent seedling recruitment may still be important in maintaining or increasing genetic variation within populations. The response of the plant to management was assessed by trial experiments in two Scottish sits and by observing populations in managed vegetation in Scandinavia. In a heavily shaded site flow production of P. verticillatum increased after more light was made available, and in a site dominated by single-whorled shoots of P. verticillatum, shoot size increased after the addition of sol nutrients. P. verticillatum is associated with ancient wooded meadows in Scandinavia where the traditional use of fire to burn litter may have favoured the plant's survival by suppressing competitors.

26. Four elders journeying ageing in isolation during uncertain or anxious times: an elder-directed, cross-disciplinary project about faith.

Abstract

The role of spirituality and faith remains crucial for positive ageing. However, the voices and experiences of elders during and post-pandemic are understated. This elder-directed autoethnography considers the question: What role did your faith play in coping with social isolation? Four Christian elders narrate their spiritual journey leading to hope in uncertain times. The narratives highlight how their faith, routine, and rituals are bringing them calm, building resilience, and helping them cope with the dynamism of living in isolation. While the pandemic is immensely challenging, it is also providing the opportunity for reflection, faith-building, and encouragement to surrender to God. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction Glucocorticoid therapy (GT) is frequently part of cancer therapy. However, GT can cause glucocorticoid induced-hyperglycaemia (GIH) that can adversely affect outcomes with reported incidences of 32-64%, according to a study by Liu and colleagues in 2013. A study by Vilder and colleagues in 2017 found that glucocorticoids not only exacerbate hyperglycaemia in patients with known diabetes, but also cause GIH in 30% of patients without known diabetes. Objectives/Aims To pilot a nurse-led model of care (MOC) for patients requiring chemotherapy that includes high-dose glucocorticoids (HDG) at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital (BLH) to: * Assess feasibility of this MOC for managing GIH * Assess patient and healthcare professionals (HCP) experience Description/Methodology A single-site prospective descriptive cohort study of eligible cancer patients aged >18, receiving chemotherapy including HDG at BLH, with no prior diagnosis of diabetes/prediabetes, and not at end-oflife. Following consent, patients had HbA1c and random/fasting plasma glucose screening for undiagnosed diabetes. Patients without pre-existing diabetes were educated on the risk of GIH and the need for selfmonitoring blood glucose QID on days of GT plus 1 extra day for the first four cycles of treatment. Patient and staff surveys were conducted to explore their experiences of this new MOC. Results/Outcomes 314 patients were diagnosed with cancer at BLH between February 2022 and August 2023. Of the 211 eligible patients, 74 (35%) were screened and 35 (16.5%) consented. Six participants (17%) withdrew from the study. Barriers to participation included a sense that it was onerous, feeling overwhelmed and not wanting to participate in research. Nine HCP responded, five nurses and four doctors. All reported the MOC was good/very good regarding collaboration with the diabetes team, improving patient's clinical outcomes and would speak highly of the MOC with colleagues. Conclusions We found this nurse-led intervention for GIH management a feasible MOC to screen for and identify individuals receiving GT with undiagnosed diabetes. However, issues relating to patient acceptance of BGL monitoring for GIH diagnosis in cancer patients could hamper overall success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
