A new reassortment of influenza A (H7N9) virus causing human infection in Beijing, 2014

Published: May 2016

AbstractA 73-year-old man was confirmed to have an influenza A (H7N9) virus infection and the causative agent A/Beijing/02/2014(H7N9) virus was isolated. Genetic and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the virus belonged to a novel genotype, which probably emerged and further reassorted with other H9 or H7 viruses in poultry before transmitting to humans. This virus caused a severe infection with high levels of cytokines and neutralizing antibodies. Eventually, the patient was cured after serially combined treatments. Taken together, our findings indicated that this novel genotype of the human H7N9 virus did not evolve directly from the first Beijing isolate A/Beijing/01/2013(H7N9), suggesting that the H7N9 virus has not obtained the ability for human-to-human transmissibility and the virus only evolves in poultry and then infects human by direct contact. Hence, the major measures to prevent human H7N9 virus infection are still to control and standardize the live poultry trade. Early antiviral treatment with combination therapies, including mechanical ventilation, nutrition support and symptomatic treatment, are effective for H7N9 infection.
Different dietary patterns and reduction of lung cancer risk: A large case-control study in the U.S.

Published: May 2016

AbstractReducing lung cancer risk by modifying diet is highly desirable. We investigated whether different U.S. dietary patterns were associated with lung cancer risk. Dietary patterns were derived using exploratory factor analysis for 2139 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and 2163 frequency-matched controls. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Highest adherence (highest vs. lowest quintile) to the “Tex-Mex”, “fruits and vegetables” and “American/Western” patterns was associated with a 55% reduced (OR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.37–0.56; P < 0.001), 32% reduced (OR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.55–0.85; P = 0.001) and 45% increased (OR = 1.45; 95% CI = 1.18–1.78; P < 0.001) risk of lung cancer, respectively. The effects were stronger for squamous cell carcinoma and ever smokers for the “fruits and vegetables” pattern and stronger for other non-small cell lung cancer and never smokers for the “American/Western” pattern. Among six genome-wide association (GWA) studies-identified lung cancer susceptibility loci assessed, a variant (rs2808630) of the C-reactive protein gene modified the associations for the “fruits and vegetables” (P for interaction = 0.03) and “American/Western” (P for interaction = 0.02) patterns. Our study first showed that the “Tex-Mex” dietary pattern was associated with a reduced lung cancer risk. Also, the “fruits and vegetables” and “American/Western” patterns affected lung cancer risk and the effects were further modified by host genetic background.
“Outposts of Britain” the General Post Office and the birth of a corporate iconic brand, 1930-1939
Authors: Heller Michael 
Published: May 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the development of an iconic corporate brand by the General Post Office (GPO) in Britain in the 1930s by adapting the work of Douglas Holt (2004).

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses a historical approach by developing a historical case study. It combines this historical approach with Holt’s theory and writing on iconic branding and the current literature on corporate identity, corporate branding and corporate communication.

Findings
The study argues that the GPO was able to construct an iconic brand in the interwar period (1918-1939) by responding to anxieties in British society generated by social tension and fears of decline. This was facilitated by the establishment of a public relations department, which created “myths” of national identity and imperial unity through telecommunications, and national strength through technology. These myths assuaged social anxieties and enabled the GPO to construct an iconic corporate brand.

Originality/value
This paper provides an important insight into iconic branding. It examines corporate rather than product branding, where research has predominantly focused. It also combines cultural branding theory with historical analysis and provides an adapted approach to Holt’s myth market model (1994, p. 58).

AbstractBackgroundA standardised nutrition risk screening (NRS) programme with ongoing education is recommended for the successful implementation of NRS. This project aimed to develop and implement a standardised NRS and education process across the adult bed‐based services of a large metropolitan health service and to achieve a 75% NRS compliance at 12 months post‐implementation.MethodsA working party of Monash Health (MH) dietitians and a nutrition technician revised an existing NRS medical record form consisting of the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool and nutrition management guidelines. Nursing staff across six MH hospital sites were educated in the use of this revised form and there was a formalised implementation process. Support from Executive Management, nurse educators and the Nutrition Risk Committee ensured the incorporation of NRS into nursing practice. Compliance audits were conducted pre‐ and post‐implementation.ResultsAt 12 months post‐implementation, organisation‐wide NRS compliance reached 34.3%. For those wards that had pre‐implementation NRS performed by nursing staff, compliance increased from 7.1% to 37.9% at 12 months (P < 0.001). The improved NRS form is now incorporated into standard nursing practice and NRS is embedded in the organisation's ‘Point of Care Audit’, which is reported 6‐monthly to the Nutrition Risk Committee and site Quality and Safety Committees.ConclusionsNRS compliance improved at MH with strong governance support and formalised implementation; however, the overall compliance achieved appears to have been affected by the complexity and diversity of multiple healthcare sites. Ongoing education, regular auditing and establishment of NRS routines and ward practices is recommended to further improve compliance.

Ordovician shallow-marine tidal sandwaves in Algeria – the application of coeval outcrops to constrain the geometry and facies of a discontinuous, high-quality gas reservoir
Authors: Hirst J. Philip P. 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The Tiguentourine field in the Illizi Basin, Algeria, is a multi trillion cubic feet (TCF) gas accumulation, with production primarily from Late Ordovician proglacial density flow deposits with permeabilities typically in the range 100–0.1 mD. The proglacial succession is truncated by an erosive surface, above which a thin interval of shallow-marine sandstones with higher permeabilites is present in a few wells. These well-sorted, high-energy sandstones were, in turn, succeeded by Silurian-age graptolitic shales that form both the seal and the source rock. Although the shallow-marine sandstone is a high-quality reservoir interval, it is thin (<12 m), discontinuous and not resolvable on seismic; it therefore represents a challenging target to predict.
Coeval equivalents of the reservoir interval are exposed in the Tassili N'Ajjer, over 200 km south of the field. An erosive surface at the top of the proglacial sequence is succeeded by sandwaves with wavelengths of >100 m. The geometries and facies relationships have been documented from Landsat and outcrops; they were then compared to modern marine settings. The varied facies and the localized absence of the shallow-marine unit at outcrop serve to explain why the better quality sandstone is variably developed in the subsurface and remains a high risk target.
A radiological analysis of the difference between MRI- and CT-based patient-specific matched guides for total knee arthroplasty from the same manufacturer

Published: May 2016

Aims This prospective randomised controlled trial was designed to evaluate the outcome of both the MRI- and CT-based patient-specific matched guides (PSG) from the same manufacturer. Patients and Methods A total of 137 knees in 137 patients (50 men, 87 women) were included, 67 in the MRI- and 70 in the CT-based PSG group. Their mean age was 68.4 years (47.0 to 88.9). Outcome was expressed as the biomechanical limb alignment (centre hip-knee-ankle: HKA-axis) achieved post-operatively, the position of the individual components within 3° of the pre-operatively planned alignment, correct planned implant size and operative data (e.g. operating time and blood loss). Results The patient demographics (e.g. age, body mass index), correct planned implant size and operative data were not significantly different between the two groups. The proportion of outliers in the coronal and sagittal plane ranged from 0% to 21% in both groups. Only the number of outliers for the posterior slope of the tibial component showed a significant difference (p = 0.004) with more outliers in the CT group (n = 9, 13%) than in the MRI group (0%). Conclusion The post-operative HKA-axis was comparable in the MRI- and CT-based PSGs, but there were significantly more outliers for the posterior slope in the CT-based PSGs. Take home message: Alignment with MRI-based PSG is at least as good as, if not better, than that of the CT-based PSG, and is the preferred imaging modality when performing TKA with use of PSG.
