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
Fish out of water
No full text4 p.Paper written by Jessica Matel in the spring semester 2012 at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for Dr. Greta Gaard's English 251 class. In this paper, the author speaks on the idea that humans need to look at the world like a fish in order to recognize the one-directionality of their actions and curb them before the natural environment is destroyed

Comparing angling, underwater visual census, and video sampling methods to refine [fishery independent] long-term monitoring of a reef fish assemblage in a temperate marine reserve
No full textRobust marine reserve assessment requires managers to understand the biases of their sampling methods. As marine reserve managers, we investigated the comparability of fish assemblage data collected using hook and line (HnL) angling, unbaited remote underwater video (RUV), and diver-based underwater visual censuses (UVC) to optimize long-term monitoring within Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, a temperate no-take reserve in Oregon. Sequential surveys were performed at the same spatial locations to compare (1) species richness and frequency of occurrence, (2) community composition, and (3) size structure of temperate reef fishes among methods. We also evaluated sampling efficiency (i.e. sample size, and cost) to detect change. The occurrence of common species was similar among the three methods while less common, solitary species exhibited differences in encounter rates among methods. HnL observed the highest proportion of commercially important species and most diverse assemblage. The least abundant and diverse fish assemblage was observed by RUV, likely due to poor detection of cryptic species and low encounter rates of solitary species. For the dominant schooling rockfish taxa (Sebastes melanops and Sebastes mystinus/diaconus) frequency of occurrence was lower for HnL compared to UVC, likely due to spatial sampling extent, and hook selectivity reducing observations of these small mouthed taxa. Larger individuals were also observed using HnL compared to UVC, likely due to hook selectivity limiting the catch of smaller individuals. While there were differences in mean size, the length-frequency distribution shape did not differ between methods for many species, suggesting data could be integrated across methods with a correction factor. HnL approaches were more cost-effective and time-efficient to detect significant change in community and species-specific abundances, though for select species, UVC offered an efficient alternative to HnL. Therefore, we suggest discontinuing RUV surveys from future long-term monitoring efforts at Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve. Instead, we propose using available resources to increase the sample size of both the Hook and Line and UVC surveys to increase the statistical power to detect changes over time in this marine reserve.prepared by Jessica L.

Mutations in the Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida type III secretion system affect Atlantic salmon leucocyte activation and downstream immune responses
No full textDeletion mutants of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida were used to determine the effect of the type three secretion system (TTSS) on Atlantic salmon anterior head kidney leucocytes (AHKL). One strain had a deletion in the outer membrane pore gene, ascC; and the other in three effector genes: aopO, aopH and aexT (we call this strain Δaop3). Host cell invasion success and 24h survival were depressed in ΔascC, as was 24h survival of Δaop3, when compared to the wild type strain. Challenge of AHKLs with A449 or TTSS mutants stimulated expression of the inflammatory mediators IL-8, IL-1 and TNFα at two bacterial concentrations (A600 0.1, 0.01). Expression of IL-12 was not stimulated in ΔascC challenged cells, whereas A449 and Δaop3 challenge resulted in an up-regulation of IL-12 in AHKLs, 2- and 4-fold higher than PBS, respectively. Only the wild type strain elicited a significant increase in IL-10 expression (5.5× at A600 0.1). Inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS) and arginase (I+II) genes were also significantly up-regulated upon exposure to all strains. However, iNOS:arginase ratio was elevated in the effector mutant challenge. These results suggest that A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida may enhance survival within the host cell through polarization of macrophages/leucocytes to an alternative, rather than classical, activation state. Furthermore, the short-term survival and lack of T-cell signalling cytokine stimulation in ΔascC, may help explain its inefficiency at providing protection to subsequent wild type challenge.ID: S1050464809002988; M3: Article; Accession Number: S1050464809002988; Author: Mark D.
