Cross‐prevalence of migraine and bipolar disorder. Bipolar Disord 2010: 12: 397–403. © 2010 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S.Objective:  In two related studies, we explored the prevalence of migraine and its associated clinical characteristics in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) as well as psychiatric morbidity in patients treated for migraine.Method:  The first study included 323 subjects with BD type I (BD I) or BD type II (BD II), diagnosed using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, Lifetime version (SADS‐L) format, or the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV Axis I Disorders (SCID). Migraine history was assessed by means of a structured questionnaire. In a second sample of 102 migraine patients, we investigated current and lifetime psychiatric morbidity using the SADS‐L. Statistical analyses were conducted using nonparametric analysis and log‐linear models.Results:  A total of 24.5% of BD patients had comorbid migraine; those with BD II had a higher prevalence (34.8%) compared to BD I (19.1%) (p < 0.005). BD patients with comorbid migraine had significantly higher rates of suicidal behaviour, social phobia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive‐compulsive disorder (all p < 0.05). In the sample of migraine patients, 34.3% had a current psychiatric diagnosis, and 73.5% had a lifetime psychiatric diagnosis. The prevalence of BD I was 4.9%, and 7.8% for BD II.Discussion:  Migraine is prevalent within the BD population, particularly among BD II subjects. It is associated with an increased risk of suicidal behaviour and comorbid anxiety disorders. Conversely, migraine sufferers have high rates of current and lifetime psychopathology. A greater understanding of this comorbidity may contribute to our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of BD.
Herbivore‐induced volatiles of cabbage (Brassica oleracea) prime defence responses in neighbouring intact plants

AbstractWhen attacked by herbivores, plants release herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPV) that may function in direct defence by repelling herbivores or reducing their growth. Emission of HIPV may also contribute to indirect defence by attracting natural enemies of the herbivore. Here, cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) plants (receiver plants) previously exposed to HIPV and subsequently induced through feeding by five Pieris brassicae L. caterpillars attracted more Cotesia glomerata L. parasitoids than control plants. HIPVs to which receiver plants had been exposed were emitted by B. oleracea infested with 50 P. brassicae caterpillars. Control plants had been exposed to volatiles from undamaged plants. In contrast, there were no differences in the attraction of wasps to receiver plants induced through feeding of one or ten larvae of P. brassicae compared to control plants. In addition, RT‐PCR demonstrated higher levels of LIPOXYGENASE (BoLOX) transcripts in HIPV‐exposed receiver plants. Exposure to HIPV from emitter plants significantly inhibited the growth rate of both P. brassicae and Mamestra brassicae caterpillars compared to growth rates of caterpillars feeding on control receiver plants. Our results demonstrate plant–plant signalling leading to priming of both indirect and direct defence in HIPV‐exposed B. oleracea plants.

Published: June 2010

AbstractField studies evaluated the relative performance of a clear versus several coloured (white, orange, and red) delta‐shaped traps baited with sex pheromone or a food bait for two key moth pests of stone fruits: oriental fruit moth (OFM), Grapholita molesta (Busck); and peach twig borer (PTB), Anarsia lineatella Zeller. Preliminary studies in 2008 found that the clear was more effective than a coloured trap for G. molesta in a sex pheromone‐treated peach orchard (OFM‐MD); and for both species in an untreated (non‐MD) peach orchard. Similarly, the clear outperformed the orange trap when both were baited with terpinyl acetate (TA) plus (Z)‐3‐hexen‐1‐yl acetate lures. Studies were expanded during 2009 to include commercial orchards in WA, OR, CA, and PA. Trap comparisons with sex pheromone lures of G. molesta were more variable with clear outperforming coloured traps in three of six trials in non‐MD orchards. The clear outperformed the coloured trap with sex pheromone lures for A. lineatella in all four non‐MD orchards. Seasonal catches of G. molesta in sex pheromone‐baited traps in OFM‐MD orchards were ≤0.3 moths per trap in all but one study with no significant difference found between traps. Seasonal catches of A. lineatella in PTB‐MD orchards were generally low with both traps and significantly higher in clear traps in only one study. Traps baited with TA outperformed sex pheromone lures for G. molesta in OFM‐MD peach orchards; and clear outperformed coloured traps. Clear traps baited with TA plus (Z)‐3‐hexen‐1‐yl acetate caught significantly more G. molesta than similarly‐baited red traps in an almond orchard and more than both trap types baited with TA alone. Catches of A. lineatella in the OFM/PTB‐MD almond orchard were low with both lures in either trap.

ContentsThe objective of this study is to evaluate the reproductive efficiency in donors and recipient Mangalarga Marchador mares in commercial programmes of embryo transfer (ET) and the effects of some reproductive characteristics and ET methodology on conception rates in the recipient mares. A total of 1140 flushing procedures were performed and 830 embryos (72.8%) were recovered. There were no differences between the rates of embryonic recovery in the different breeding seasons (p > 0.05) and 92.8% of the recovered embryos were 8–9 days old. There was no difference in the embryonic recovery regarding the collection order from the first to the ninth embryo collection along the breeding season, as well as among mares inseminated during the foal heat or subsequent cycles (p > 0.05). Pregnancy rates observed in the total period of all reproductive seasons at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days of pregnancy were 73.4, 69.9, 66.7 and 64.5%, respectively. Differences in pregnancy rate and early embryonic loss rates were not observed between embryos transferred immediately after collection (66.8% and 13.5%) and embryos transported at room temperature for periods of <1 h (62.9% and 14.4%; p > 0.05). Pregnancy rates were higher when the interval between ovulations of donor and recipient mares remained between −3 and −2 days (p < 0.05), and the lowest rates were observed for intervals of −6 days (p < 0.05) with intermediary values for intervals of −1, 0 and +1 (p > 0.05). Embryonic loss rates, however, did not differ between intervals of ovulation’s synchronism between donor and recipient mares (p > 0.05). This flexibilization in the ovulatory synchronism between donor and recipient mares optimizes the use of recipient mares, thus reducing costs and facilitating management of horse breeding farms.

AbstractObjective:  To assess depression recognition, barriers to accessing help from health professionals and potential sources of help for depression among rural adolescents. Design:  Cross‐sectional survey. Setting:  Two rural secondary schools in south‐east South Australia. Participants:  Seventy‐four secondary school students aged 14 to 16 years. Main outcome measure(s):  Depression recognition was measured using a depression vignette. Helpfulness of professionals, barriers to seeking help and help‐seeking behaviours for depression were assessed by self‐report questionnaire. Results:  Depression was identified in the vignette by 73% (n = 54) of participants. Participants indicated that it would be more helpful for the vignette character to see other health professionals (98.6%, 95% CI, 92.0–100.0%) than a doctor (82.4%, 72.1–89.6%). Barriers to seeking help from doctors and other health professionals were categorised into logistical and personal barriers. Participants agreed more strongly to personal (mean = 2.86) than logistical barriers (mean = 2.67, P < 0.05) for seeing a doctor. Boys and girls responded differently overall, and to personal barriers to seeing an other health professional. Sources of help were divided into three categories: formal, informal and external. Informal sources of help (mean = 4.02) were identified as more helpful than both formal (mean = 3.66) and external sources (mean = 3.72, P < 0.001). Gender differences were observed within and between the three sources of help categories.Conclusions:  Recognising symptoms of depression was demonstrated in this study. Helpfulness of professionals, barriers to seeking help and potential sources of help for depression were identified. More work is required for improving depression literacy and providing effective interventions specifically for rural adolescents.

Authors: Novak Iona , McIntyre Sarah 
Published: June 2010

Background/aim:  Individual and workplace barriers affect uptake of evidence‐based practice (EBP). This study evaluated the effects of a 1‐day workshop with workplace supports on allied health professionals’ EBP knowledge and behaviour. Methods:  A prospective longitudinal pre‐post design was used. A total of 88 allied health professionals participated. Knowledge was measured using the Adapted Fresno Test (AFT), behaviour was measured using frequency counts of presentations using EBP methodologies and critically appraised topics (CATs) were produced. Mean differences were analysed using paired
t
‐tests. Results:  EBP knowledge significantly improved immediately after education on the AFT (from 36.67 to 46.84/156) a mean change of 10.17 points (95% confidence interval (CI): 7.19–13.50) (
P
< 0.001). Behaviour also changed over 18 months. EBP content in presentations increased from 3 to 100% (
t
= 24.39,
P
< 0.001, 95%CI: 0.86–1.03). CATs produced significantly increased by 0.26 per head (
t
= 5.55,
P
< 0.001, 95% CI: 0.17–0.35). Conclusions:  Education with workplace supports (supervision, incentives, resource allocation and working groups) may lead to improvements in EBP knowledge and implementation.

Published: June 2010

AbstractBackground:  This study evaluated the effect of prophylactic cefdinir (3 mg/kg given once daily) for the prevention of recurrent and complicated urinary tract infections (UTI) in pediatric patients.Methods:  The study included 14 infants who were observed for at least 6 months following the first signs of infection (eight boys, six girls; mean age at admission [±SD]: 6.2 [±7.4] months). Twelve patients had vesico‐ureteric reflux (grade I, two; grade II, three; grade III, six; grade IV, one), and two patients had ureteropelvic junction stenosis.Results:  No patients discontinued medication due to diarrhea or other adverse drug reactions. The patients had a 6‐month recurrence‐free rate of 93% (13/14); only one patient had recurrent UTI. The mean urinary cefdinir concentration was 16.3 [±11.7]µg/mL; there was considerable variability among individual measurements, even though the samples were collected at similar intervals after drug intake (mean 18.00 [±2.63] h after dose). However, the lowest measured urinary cefdinir concentration (1.16 µg/mL) was sufficient to eradicate Escherichia coli, one of the most significant causes of UTI. Fecal cultures, obtained at monthly clinic visits during the observation period, indicated that the patients' E. coli strains were very sensitive to cefdinir. No patients were infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or other non‐fermenting Gram‐negative bacilli or fungi.Conclusions:  These results show that cefdinir given 3 mg/kg once daily is very effective and safe for preventing recurrent complicated UTI in infants.

Published: June 2010

AbstractBackground:  The pathogenesis of edema in nephrotic syndrome is not entirely understood. The aim of this study was to contribute to the discussion on edema pathogenesis in nephrotic syndrome by following changes in volume and sodium retention for the course of the disease in children with steroid‐sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS).Methods:  Forty‐one children with SSNS were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups (group I: relapse‐edematous; group II: relapse‐edema free; group III: remission). We investigated the value of the significance and area of sodium retention and vasoactive hormones. In addition, we measured parameters such as inferior vena cava collapsibility index, left atrium diameter, and total body water (TBW) to determine the volume load and cause of edema in children with SSNS.Results:  TBW increased in the relapse‐nephrotic syndrome group and the difference was statistically significant among groups (P < 0.001). However, inferior vena cava collapsibility index and left atrium diameter were not different among groups. Fractional sodium excretion was lower in children with relapse nephrotic syndrome (P < 0.05).Conclusion:  Although TBW increases in children with SSNS, intravascular volume is normal. In addition, hypoalbuminemia and sodium retention of the proximal tubule cause edema in children with SSNS.

Published: June 2010

AbstractPurpose:  To examine the rates of intermediate‐term intraocular pressure (IOP) control after trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin C (MMC) and assess for associated complications.Methods:  Medical records of patients undergoing primary trabeculectomy with MMC at Concord Repatriation Hospital, Sydney between January 1997 and December 2005 were reviewed. All eyes with a minimum of 2‐year follow up were included. Follow‐up data were collected in a standardized form on postoperative IOP, bleb‐related and other complications. Success was measured as IOP ≤ 18 mmHg and ≥6 mmHg (criteria 1) with (qualified success) or without (absolute success) the use of glaucoma medications. A secondary outcome measure was an IOP reduction of greater than 20% from baseline (criteria 2). Eyes with preoperative IOP of 18 mmHg or less were included, but also analysed separately to those eyes with preoperative IOP above 18 mmHg.Results:  Sixty eyes from 42 patients were included in the study, with 3‐year follow up on 48 eyes. Mean preoperative IOP was 25.3 mmHg (range 8–45) and mean postoperative IOP was 14.0 mmHg at 1‐ and 2‐year follow up, and 14.7 mmHg at 3 years (ranges: 3–31, 4–30 and 8–45 mmHg respectively). Cumulative success for criteria 1 was 85.0% at 2 years and 83.3% at 3 years, and for criteria 2 it was 80.0% and 79.2%, respectively. The number of eyes on glaucoma medications was reduced from 51 preoperatively to 30 at 3 years. Complications were infrequent. There was one eye with a shallow anterior chamber beyond the immediate postoperative period. One eye required cataract surgery at 1‐year follow up. Subgroup analysis was performed using the first operated eye only, and results did not differ significantly from overall results.Conclusion:  MMC‐augmented trabeculectomy can significantly reduce IOP in the short and intermediate term, with a favourable safety profile.

Published: June 2010

AbstractBackground:  To compare corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) in eyes 1 year following penetrating keratoplasty (PK) with that of normal eyes using the Ocular Response Analyser.Methods:  Prospective case comparison of 166 normal right eyes and 34 unilateral post‐PK eyes presenting to a teaching hospital in Birmingham, UK. The CH, CRF and Goldmann‐correlated intraocular pressure, of each eye was measured using the Ocular Response Analyser. The central corneal thickness (CCT) was measured using an ultrasonic pachymeter.Results:  The mean CH was 10.6 ±2.0 mmHg, standard deviation (SD) and CRF was 10.2 ± 2.0 mmHg (SD) in normal eyes and 8.9 ± 3.3 mmHg and 8.1 ± 3.3 mmHg in post‐PK eyes, respectively. The mean CCT was 541.8 ± 36.1 µm in normal eyes and 556.0 ±69.2 µm in post‐PK eyes. The Goldmann‐correlated intraocular pressure was 16.1 ± 3.1 mmHg and 12.4 ± 2.9 mmHg in normal eyes and post‐PK eyes, respectively. The CCT was found to be higher in post‐PK eyes compared with normal eyes but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.5).Conclusion:  Reduced biomechanical measures were found in post‐PK eyes despite a higher mean CCT. This may be due to the altered corneal structure following PK.

ABSTRACTAim  To assess the hypotheses that compound leaves of trees in the Amazon forest are an adaptation to drought and/or rapid growth.Location  Amazon rain forest, South America.Methods  Genera from 137 permanent forest plots spread across Amazonia were classified into those with compound leaves and those with simple leaves. Metrics of compound leaf prevalence were then calculated for each plot and regression models that accounted for spatial autocorrelation were used to identify associations between climate variables and compound leaf structure. We also tested for associations between compound leaf structure and a variety of ecological variables related to life history and growth strategies, including wood density, annual increase in diameter and maximum height.Results  One plant family, Fabaceae, accounts for 53% of compound‐leaved individuals in the dataset, and has a geographical distribution strongly centred on north‐east Amazonia. On exclusion of Fabaceae from the analysis we found no significant support for the seasonal drought hypothesis. However, we found evidence supporting the rapid growth hypothesis, with possession of compound leaves being associated with faster diameter growth rates and lower wood densities.Main conclusion  This study provides evidence that possession of compound leaves constitutes one of a suite of traits and life‐history strategies that promote rapid growth in rain forest trees. Our findings highlight the importance of carefully considering the geographical distribution of dominant taxa and spatial clustering of data points when inferring ecological causation from environment–trait associations.
Evaluating the Weight of Evidence by Using Quantitative Short Tandem Repeat Data in DNA Mixtures

Published: June 2010

SummaryThe evaluation of results from mixtures of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from two or more people in crime case investigations may be improved by taking not only the qualitative but also the quantitative part of the results into consideration. We present a statistical likelihood approach to assess the probability of observed peak heights and peak areas information for a pair of profiles matching the DNA mixture. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to incorporate this probability in the evaluation of the weight of the evidence by a likelihood ratio approach. Our model is based on a multivariate normal distribution of peak areas for assessing the weight of the evidence. On the basis of data from analyses of controlled experiments with mixed DNA samples, we exploited the linear relationship between peak heights and peak areas, and the linear relationships of the means and variances of the measurements. Furthermore, the contribution from one individual’s allele to the mean area of this allele is assumed to be proportional to the average of peak height measurements of alleles, where the individual is the only contributor. For shared alleles in mixed DNA samples, it is possible to observe only the cumulative peak heights and areas. Complying with this latent structure, we used the EM algorithm to impute the missing variables on the basis of a compound symmetry model. The measurements were subject to intralocus and interlocus correlations not depending on the actual alleles of the DNA profiles. Owing to factorization of the likelihood, properties of the normal distribution and use of auxiliary variables, an ordinary implementation of the EM algorithm solved the missing data problem.

SynopsisThe aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of commercial essential oils: lavender, tea tree and lemon, antimicrobials in washing liquid and O/W soft body balm. The inhibition efficacy of essential oils in washing liquid (1% alone or in mixtures), in soft body balm (0.5% alone), as well as combined with the synthetic preservative DMDM hydantoin and 3‐iodo‐2‐propynyl butyl carbamate mixture (0.1 and 0.3%), was tested against S. aureus ATCC 6538, P. aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Candida sp. ŁOCK 0008 and A. niger ATCC 16404 in compliance with the European Pharmacopoeia standards. The components of the system preserving soft body balm were supplemented with a solubilizer. Washing liquids containing only essential oils met Criterion A E.P. only for S. aureus, Candida sp. and A. niger. In soft body balm formulations, oils at a concentration of 0.5% did not reveal any preserving activity. The introduction of a solubilizer to a system containing 0.5% tea tree oil led to a substantial increase in the bacteriostatic activity of the formulation, but did not significantly affect its fungistatic properties. A combination of 0.5% tea tree oil, 5% solubilizer and 0.3% synthetic preservative ensured the microbiological stability of soft body balm in accordance with Criterion A E.P.
