Learning from experience: How can we best help people with rare, difficult to diagnose, or controversial conditions?
No full textThe Neurological Alliance published a report finding that relative to those with more common neurological conditions, people with rare neurological conditions are less likely to understand their condition, less likely to receive either written information about their condition or signposting towards this information, less likely to receive a care plan, less likely to see a specialist nurse, less likely to be asked about their mental health, and more likely to experience poor transmission of information between professionals and to have a poor experience of social care. Service delivery models and clinicians’ job plans both need to account for this, but public health services are often designed and funded based on face-to-face activity for the ‘average patient’ or the most common patient presentation
Ethanol-tolerant lactic acid bacteria strains as a basis for efficient malolactic fermentation in wine: evaluation of experimentally evolved lactic acid bacteria and winery isolates
No full textBackground and Aims: Reliable malolactic fermentation (MLF) is essential for process efficiency and spoilage prevention in wine. This study extends previous research in our laboratory, aimed at the development and selection of new bacterial strains for reliable MLF in wine, focusing on ethanol‐tolerant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains. Sensory differences of seven LAB strains were assessed, including two commercial strains, two ethanol‐tolerant strains derived from directed evolution and three isolates from a high ethanol Grenache. Methods and Results: In this study, the performance of 30 LAB strains was first assessed in fermented chemically defined grape juice media. Seven of the best performing strains were then tested in small‐scale (5 L) fermentations in Shiraz and Shiraz‐Grenache blend wines. All wines were evaluated with a sensory panel using free choice profiling. Conclusions: Despite significantly different MLF kinetics between the strains there were no strain‐specific differences on the final wines. The choice of LAB strain did not adversely change the sensory properties of either wine. Significance of the Study: These findings provide reassurance that the efficient LAB strains (G71 and G55) and the modified directed evolution strains do not compromise the sensory properties of wines despite their marked MLF benefits.K.M.

Improving Oenococcus oeni to overcome challenges of wine malolactic fermentation
No full textOenococcus oeni is crucial for winemaking, bringing stabilization, deacidification, and sensory impacts through malolactic fermentation (MLF) to most wine styles. The poor nutritional make-up of wine together with typically low processing temperatures and pH and high ethanol content and sulfur dioxide (SO2) hinder O. oeni growth and activity. Production delays and interventions with starter cultures and nutritional supplements have significant cost and quality implications; thus, optimization of O. oeni has long been a priority. A range of optimization strategies, some guided by detailed characterization of O. oeni, have been exploited. Varying degrees of success have been seen with classical strain selection, mutagenesis, gene recombination, genome shuffling, and, most recently, directed evolution (DE). The merits, limitations, and future prospects of each are discussed.Alice Betteridge, Paul Grbin, and Vladimir Jirane

Henry VIII and history
No full textHenry VIII remains the most iconic and controversial of all English Kings. For over four-hundred years he has been lauded, reviled and mocked, but rarely ignored. In his many guises - Model Renaissance prince, Defender of the Faith, rapacious plunderer of the Church, obese Bluebeard-- he has featured in numerous works of fact and faction, in books, magazines, paintings, theatre, film and television. Yet despite this perennial fascination with Henry the man and monarch, there has been little comprehensive exploration of his historiographic legacy. Therefore scholars will welcome this collection, which provides a systematic survey of Henry's reputation from his own age through to the present. Divided into three sections, the volume begins with an examination of Henry's reputation in the period between his death and the outbreak of the English Civil War, a time that was to create many of the tropes that would dominate his historical legacy. The second section deals with the further evolution of his reputation, from the Restoration to Edwardian era, a time when Catholic commentators and women writers began moving into the mainstream of English print culture. The final section covers the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, which witnessed an explosion of representations of Henry, both in print and on screen. Taken together these studies, by a distinguished group of international scholars, offer a lively and engaging overview of how Henry's reputation has been used, abused and manipulated in both academia and popular culture since the sixteenth century. They provide intriguing insights into how he has been reinvented at different times to reflect the cultural, political and religious demands of the moment; sometimes as hero, sometimes as villain, but always as an unmistakable and iconic figure in the historical landscape. © Thomas Betteridge, Thomas S.
