Susceptibility to intestinal infection and diarrhoea in Zambian adults in relation to HIV status and CD4 count.
No full textBACKGROUND: The HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa has had a major impact on infectious disease, and there is currently great interest in the impact of HIV on intestinal barrier function. A three year longitudinal cohort study in a shanty compound in Lusaka, Zambia, carried out before anti-retroviral therapy was widely available, was used to assess the impact of HIV on susceptibility to intestinal infectious disease. We measured the incidence and seasonality of intestinal infection and diarrhoea, aggregation of disease in susceptible individuals, clustering by co-habitation and genetic relatedness, and the disease-to-infection ratio. METHODS: Adults living in a small section of Misisi, Lusaka, were interviewed every two weeks to ascertain the incidence of diarrhoea. Monthly stool samples were analysed for selected pathogens. HIV status and CD4 count were determined annually. RESULTS: HIV seroprevalence was 31% and the prevalence of immunosuppression (CD4 count 200 cells/microL or less) was 10%. Diarrhoea incidence was 1.1 episodes per year and the Incidence Rate Ratio for HIV infection was 2.4 (95%CI 1.7-3.3; p < 0.001). The disease-to-infection ratio was increased at all stages of HIV infection. Aggregation of diarrhoea in susceptible individuals was observed irrespective of immunosuppression, but there was little evidence of clustering by co-habitation or genetic relatedness. There was no evidence of aggregation of asymptomatic infections. CONCLUSION: HIV has an impact on intestinal infection at all stages, with an increased disease-to-infection ratio. The aggregation of disease in susceptible individuals irrespective of CD4 count suggests that this phenomenon is not a function of cell mediated immunity
Statistical aspects in the design and analysis of long term ecological monitoring efforts
No full textPromotion of gallbladder emptying by intravenous aminoacids
No full textPatients receiving total intravenous nutrition have inert gallbladders; gallbladder sludge and gallstones often develop, but are preventable if gallbladder emptying can be improved. We measured the effect of giving rapid intravenous infusions of aminoacid solutions in eight normal subjects. Four regimens were tested (250 mL over 30 min, 250 mL over 10 min, 125 mL over 5 min, and 50 mL over 5 min). Gallbladder emptying, as measured by ultrasound and cholecystokinin release, depended on both the amount and the rate of aminoacid infusion. Rapid infusion of 125 mL of an aminoacid mixture (Synthamin 14 without electrolytes) over 5 min (2·1 g per min) produced a 64% reduction in gallbladder volume within 30 min, whereas a 50 mL infusion over 5 min produced only a 22% reduction. Intermittent rapid infusion of small amounts of aminoacids may prevent gallstones in patients receiving intravenous nutrition. © 1993
Capability Brown: Stairway To Heaven
No full textA Commemorative Painting, 2 x 3 meters, that in topographical terms describes the landscape as it was shaped by Capability Brown in the area around Milton Abbey, Dorset and as a history focuses on two key figures in the life of that landscapes: Athelstan, King of the Anglo-Saxons from 924 to 927 and King of the English from 927 to 939, and Capability Brown "England's Greatest Gardener" 1716 – 1783.
About the exhibition:
2016 marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, a designer who changed the national landscape and created a style which has shaped people’s picture of the quintessential English countryside. He transformed the face of eighteenth century England, designing country estates and mansions, moving hills and constructing flowing lakes and serpentine rivers, a magical world of green. He was responsible for more than 200 gardens and parks, and over 150 still survive today.
This major exhibition, ’A Capability Brown Experience’ includes a new film featuring John Phibbs, the leading expert on Brown, as narrator; artwork by Royal Academician Stephen Farthing; artist and author Tim Scott- Bolton; eleven artists of Dorset Visual Arts; embroidery from the National Association; interactive digital imagery; photography from a range of leading photographers, and games for children
Increased energy expenditure in growing adolescents with Crohn's disease
No full textUndernutrition is considered to have a central role in the pathogenesis of growth retardation in Crohn's disease. This may occur as a consequence of inadequate food intake, increased energy expenditure, or both. Ten growing adolescents with inactive Crohn's disease were assessed with respect to anthropometric parameters and resting energy expenditure, measured by indirect calorimetry during remission, repeated in relapse (N = 5), and compared to that predicted from the Harris-Benedict formula. Mean energy intake was assessed with seven-day diaries in five patients and compared to recommended intake for age, sex, weight, and physical activity. Ten healthy, growing, age- and sex-matched adolescents served as controls. Nine patients with inactive Crohn's disease, who had ceased growing, were matched for disease site and duration and acted as disease controls. Patients and disease controls had lower body mass index (19.2 ± 0.6; 20.9 ± 0.7) than healthy controls (23.7 ± 0.6; P < 0.001). Percent body fat was lower in patients (13.2 ± 1.9%) compared to healthy controls (20.5 ± 2.4%; P < 0.05) but not to disease controls (17.0 ± 2.6%). Patients had higher resting energy expenditure per kilogram of fat-free mass than disease or healthy controls (36.9 ± 5.1; 32.9 ± 2.6; 30.9 ± 2.1 kcal; P < 0.02). Measured resting energy expenditure in patients, but not in disease or healthy controls, was higher than the predicted (measured: predicted 1.15, 1.03, 0.9, respectively; P < 0.03). Energy intake in patients was 97% of recommended intake but the measured ratio of energy intake/resting energy expenditure was lower than the predicted ratio (1.49 vs 1.71; P < 0.05). During subsequent relapse in five patients resting energy expenditure was unchanged. In growing adolescents with inactive Crohn's disease, there is increased energy expenditure that is not accompanied by an increase in energy intake; Relapse of disease does not appear to increase resting energy expenditure further but may 'divert' energy from growth to disease activity. This suggests that nutritional therapy should be directed towards increasing caloric intake to maximize growth potential
Mike Kirby on a penny-farthing during the Gay Nineties festival
No full textA black and white photograph featuring Forest Grove resident Mike Kirby riding a penny-farthing on the occasion of the Gay Nineties festival. The photographer may have been Oregonian photojournalist Allan J. de Lay.This is one photograph from a collection on the Gay Nineties festival and the the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest in Forest Grove, Oregon. The festival centered around a theme of nostalgia for the 1890s decade. The event, which ran from 1947 through the 1990s, featured a parade downtown, residents dressing up in 1890s-themed costumes for the celebrations, local businesses decorating their window displays, and the crown jewel of the event, the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest, which earned Forest Grove the nickname "Ballad Town U.S.A.
