An overview of take‐home naloxone programs in Australia

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction and Aims Take‐home naloxone (THN) programs commenced in Australia in 2012 in the Australian Capital Territory and programs now operate in five Australian jurisdictions. The purpose of this paper is to record the progress of THN programs in Australia, to provide a resource for others wanting to start THN projects, and provide a tool for policy makers and others considering expansion of THN programs in this country and elsewhere. Design and Methods Key stakeholders with principal responsibility for identified THN programs operating in Australia provided descriptions of program development, implementation and characteristics. Short summaries of known THN programs from each jurisdiction are provided along with a table detailing program characteristics and outcomes. Results Data collected across current Australian THN programs suggest that to date over 2500 Australians at risk of overdose have been trained and provided naloxone. Evaluation data from four programs recorded 146 overdose reversals involving naloxone that was given by THN participants. Discussion and Conclusions Peer drug user groups currently play a central role in the development, delivery and scale‐up of THN in Australia. Health professionals who work with people who use illicit opioids are increasingly taking part as alcohol and other drug‐related health agencies have recognised the opportunity for THN provision through interactions with their clients. Australia has made rapid progress in removing regulatory barriers to naloxone since the initiation of the first THN program in 2012. However, logistical and economic barriers remain and further work is needed to expand access to this life‐saving medication.
Nymphal Habitat of Oliarus Vicarius(Homoptera: Cixiidae), and Possible AssociationWith Aphaenogaster and Paratrechina(Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Oliarus is a cosmopolitan genus represented in North America north of Mexico by 51 species (Mead 1968).The most recently published key is found in a preliminary revision by Ball (1934) in which 31 species of Oliarus are recognized.Mead (1968) showed that O. vicarius (Walker) and O. quinquelineatus (Say) are so similar in morphology and habits that misidentifications are made.Mead stated that O. vicarius ranges only from North Carolina southward to Florida and, with few exceptions, is restricted to the coastal plain.O. quinquelineatus is widespread in the eastern half of North America.Its range overlaps that of O. vicarius as far south as Gainesville, Florida.Little is known of the nymphal habitat and behavior of O. vicarius.Prior to the report of Sheppard et al (1979) nymphs of O. vicarius were unknown.They were found by Sheppard et al (1979) in unoccu- pied galleries in mounds of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, and also in rotten stumps and logs.We here give further information on nymphal habitat and adult flight patterns.In addition, observations are given for 2 ant species frequently found with O. vicarius nymphs.
Effect of kayaking on balancing ability after sudden changes in direction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

IntroductionDifferent sports influence the balancing ability variously.The aim of this study to examine the effect of kayaking on dynamical balancing ability after sudden changes in direction. MethodsThe investigation included 5 race-kayakists and 5 leisure-time sportsmen.Dynamical balancing ability have analyzed by the ultrasound-based sudden perturbation test (provocation test).A rigid platform have moved from its central position and fixed by a fastening unit.The rigid platform connected to a rigid frame by 4 or 8 steel springs of identical strength.The platform swings back into its original, resting position, stimulating sudden disturbances after releasing the fastening unit.The participant must balance and re-equilibrate as the plate moves.The motions of the rigid plate were recorded by an ultrasound-based system.From this motion the Lehr's damping ratio can be calculated and it characterizes the balancing ability of the investigated person. ResultsFor the kayakist group, the average values of the Lehr's damping ratio determined were significantly bigger while standing on one limb and on both limbs compared to the parameters for the control group. DiscussionA high level of complex coordination is required to regain equilibrium after a sudden change in direction.Sports activities can develop this ability.This investigation demonstrate that not only the traditional methods (a sudden stoppage from running, sudden setting in motion, jumping or changing in direction) but motion in a continuously moving media (in aqueous media) can also develop the balancing ability.During kayaking the media always changes; moreover, it often surges so persistent balancing is essential.The results draw attention to the fact that dynamic balancing ability can be developed by other than traditional methods.
Serological responses against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Merino sheep bred for resistance or susceptibility to fleece rot and body strike

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Lines of medium-wool Peppin Merino sheep selected for resistance (R) or susceptibility (S) to fleece rot and body strike were compared serologically following 4 weekly intradermal inoculations of live I, the predominant bacterial species associated with fleece rot. There was essentially no evidence of fleece rot or body strike in these animals prior to experimentation. In Exp. 1, the 1989-born ewe progeny of the R and S lines were studied (nR = 52; nS = 49). Over 12 weeks, average serum antibody responses against P. aeruginosa were greater in R sheep but the differences were generally non-significant at P = 0.05. The apparent differences in antibody response between R and S lines were largely attributable to the effects of some individual sires in the R line. In a second experiment, the 1990-born ewe progeny of the R and S lines (nR = 75; nS = 76), and the ewe progeny of a line unselected on fleece rot and body strike resistance (F line; nF = 53), were studied. Following inoculation with live I, the mean serum antibody responses of the R and S sheep, which were not different before inoculation, were significantly higher for R sheep for the first 8 weeks of a 10-week observation period. The mean responses of the F line generally fell between the R and S responses. One week after the first inoculation, sire effects in the R line were much greater than for the S and F lines, but thereafter sire effects were similar among lines. Taken together, these results suggest that direct selection for the R or S genotype produced lines of sheep with divergent serological responsiveness following intradermal inoculation with P. aeruginosa; however, in one generation the effects of some individual sires appeared to be largely responsible for these differences.
Axillary lymph node metastasis from an occult breast cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Twenty-nine cases were reviewed in which carcinoma manifested first as the enlargement of an axillary node from an occult breast carcinoma. A small hidden breast cancer was identified in 16 patients. In the remaining 13, the breast tumor was never discovered. Regardless of whether the primary tumors were discovered, the metastasis-free survival rates were comparable to those of patients with breast carcinoma with axillary nodal metastasis. The authors recommend that carcinoma found in an axillary node should be treated as a breast cancer, even in the absence of the breast tumor. Extensive investigative procedures in an attempt to uncover an extramammary primary site were largely unproductive and should either be omitted or performed selectively. Mammography, if positive or suspicious, can lead to the primary tumor in 75% of the patients, but, when negative, it does not necessarily exclude the breast as the source of the carcinoma. A carcinoma of the breast was found by pathologic examination in 44% of the patients with negative mammograms.
Resolving allogenic forcings on shallow‐marine sedimentary archives of the Taiwan Western Foreland Basin

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT An investigation of allogenic forcings on shallow‐marine strata of the Miocene–Pliocene Kueichulin Formation, Taiwan Western Foreland Basin, reveals that shifts in palaeoenvironments were strongly controlled by: (1) orogenesis and basin subsidence, (2) precession‐driven hydroclimate and (3) obliquity‐driven atmospheric and ocean circulation. Shifts from a wave‐dominated open shelf to a tide‐dominated shallow‐marine deltaic environment were controlled by basin subsidence and the uplift and erosion of Taiwan. Rapid deepening of the Western Foreland Basin (~5400 Ka) and low sedimentation rates contributed to the development of lower offshore to distal delta front environments with limited fluvial and storm influence. As the uplift and erosion of Taiwan accelerated after ~4920 Ka, sediment filled the basin, forming shallow‐marine deltaic environments. The emergence of Taiwan also led to the shallowing and narrowing of the palaeo‐Taiwan Strait, resulting in strengthened tidal currents. Sedimentation from Taiwan is dominantly driven by tropical cyclone precipitation with lesser monsoon contribution, which is driven by summer insolation that mainly responds to eccentricity‐modulated precession. Therefore, tropical cyclone beds preserved in the strata correspond to periods of maximum precession amplitudes, with the most amalgamated expressions occurring during periods of sea‐level minima. Enhanced seasonal variations in insolation during periods of high obliquity amplitude may lead to fluctuations in ocean‐atmospheric circulation, resulting in increased variability in sedimentation, and by extension, shifts in depositional environments. This is preserved in the Kueichulin Formation in facies that reflect the strengthening of tidal currents during periods of high obliquity amplitudes. The findings establish high‐sedimentation and high‐accommodation shallow‐marine basins as potential records for effectively disentangling the relative influence of allogenic forcings on sedimentary systems, which is essential for understanding the response of the Earth's surface to climate, sea‐level fluctuations and tectonism in the geologic past.

Multicomponent Differentiation-Regulated Transcription Factors in F9 Embryonal Carcinoma Stem Cells

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Murine F9 embryonal carcinoma (F9 EC) stem cells have an E1a-like transcription activity that is down-regulated as these cells differentiate to parietal endoderm. For the adenovirus E2A promoter, this activity requires at least two sequence-specific transcription factors, one that binds the cyclic AMP-responsive element (CRE) and the other, DRTF1, the DNA-binding activity of which is down-regulated as F9 EC cells differentiate. Here we report the characterization of several binding activities in F9 EC cell extracts, referred to as DRTF 1a, 1b and 1c, that recognize the DRTF1 cis-regulatory sequence (-70 to -50 region). These activities can be chromatographically separated but are not distinguishable by DNA sequence specificity. Activity 1a is a detergent-sensitive complex in which DNA binding is regulated by phosphorylation. In contrast, activities 1b and 1c are unaffected by these treatments but exist as multicomponent protein complexes even before DNA binding. Two sets of DNA-binding polypeptides, p50DR and p30DR, affinity purified from F9 EC cell extracts produce complexes 1b and 1c. Both polypeptides appear to be present in the same DNA-bound protein complex and both directly contact DNA. These affinity-purified polypeptides activate transcription in vitro in a binding-site-dependent manner. These data indicate the in F9 EC stem cells, multicomponent differentiation-regulated transcription factors contribute to the cellular E1a-like activity.

Rotifers are considered to be an excellent and indispensable live feed for larvae of many \nfinfishes and crustaceans, lt(1960) was the first to culture the rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis for \nfeeding marine fish larvae, and now it is being extensively used as live feed in hatcheries all over \nthe world.Their slow swimming habits, ability to tolerate a wide range of salinities, parthenogenetic \nmode of reproduction and ability to get enriched easily, make rotifers an ideal live feed organism. \nAs aquaculture sector is fast growing and is gaining more importance as the fish landings and \nsupply are getting irregular, the role of rotifers is all the more important
Thermoregulation and roosting behaviour of reproductive and nonreproductive female western long-eared bats ( Myotis evotis ) in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Entering torpor can yield significant energy savings for temperate-zone bats but can be costly for reproductive females by slowing fetal development and reducing milk production. We studied western long-eared bats (Myotis evotis (H. Allen, 1864)) in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta to test the hypothesis that different costs of torpor result in different patterns of thermoregulation and roosting behaviour for reproductive and nonreproductive females. We radio-tracked bats to monitor body temperatures and locate roosts. We took roost measurements and inserted temperature data loggers to measure roost microclimate. Bats entered torpor frequently, but nonreproductive females spent longer periods in torpor, had lower minimum body temperatures, and entered deep torpor more often than reproductive females did, supporting the hypothesis that entering torpor is more costly for reproductive individuals. Roosts were located mainly in rock fields on steep, open, south-facing slopes. Reproductive females roosted in crevices between rocks located above or on the surface of the ground. Roosts warmed rapidly and reached warm daytime temperatures. Females roosted alone during pregnancy but formed small colonies within roosts during lactation when ambient conditions were cooler. Clustering may reduce thermoregulatory costs for both adults and young. Nonreproductive females roosted mainly alone in crevices in the ground. These roosts had cooler, more stable microclimates, allowing females to enter deeper bouts of torpor and remain torpid longer.
Improving osteoarthritis detection in the community: Pharmacist identification of new, diagnostically confirmed osteoarthritis

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common arthritis and a leading cause of disability. Many persons with knee OA are not diagnosed and not referred for treatment. Therefore, identification of patients with knee pain who have undiagnosed OA needs to be improved. Our objective was to determine if pharmacists, using a simple screening questionnaire, can identify individuals with previously undiagnosed knee OA. Methods Patients with knee pain and no previous diagnosis of knee OA were recruited by community pharmacists who used a simple questionnaire (<10 minutes to complete) to determine likelihood of knee OA. Patients who were likely to have knee OA were referred for a standardized knee examination and radiograph. Results Of the 411 patients screened by pharmacists, 274 were eligible. Of these, 44 declined, 35 were ineligible (18 had a previous OA diagnosis,16 had other inflammatory conditions, and 1 was excluded for other reasons), and 1 died. The remaining 194 were mostly female (62%) with a mean age of 62 years and were mostly white (86%). Body mass index (BMI) was classified as normal (18.5–24.9 kg/m 2 ) in 29%, overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m 2 ) in 45%, and obese (>30.0 kg/m 2 ) in 26%. Of those examined, 190 (98%) of 194 met the American College of Rheumatology clinical criteria for knee OA. The radiographic results revealed that most participants likely had mild OA. Conclusion Pharmacists administering a simple screening questionnaire can identify >80% of patients with knee pain who have undiagnosed knee OA. Based on radiographs and BMI, much of this OA is early and may be amenable to intervention.

Subjekt och agentskap. Seyla Benhabib och Judith Butler

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In this article I begin with a summary of the discussion between Seyla Benhabib and Judith Butler on subjectivity and agency published in Feminist contentions (1995). Then I try to state their views even more clearly, taking other texts by each author into consideration, and to compare them with each other. Finally I criticize them both for not being able to fulfill their purposes: both Benhabib and Butler want to formulate plausible concepts of subjectivity and agency that allow their theories of humans and actions to avoid determinism. Unfortunately none of them gives any sort of definition or explanation of determinsim, and we will have to guess why they both consider determinism and feminism incoherent. Benhabib accuses Butler's foucauldian notion of the subject of being determined by the discourses (it is constituted by discourses), while Butler points out that the humanist subject of Benhabib, deeply situated in its context, though with a degree of genuine intentions (if not even with a free will), is already conceptually connected to a certain political theory, which has proved to be antifeminist. This controverse sounds more radical than it is, both authors seek a midposition: the subject is seen as situated or constituted but still has some kind of agency. The constitutedness of the subject does not - here I agree with Butler - have to imply that the subject is determined by discourses. But the kind of agency left in Butler's own theory is problematic: it looks as if feminists will have to rely on mistakes and other unintended variations in the embodiment of norms and ideals. On the other hand, Benhabibs position is unintelligible. Why is neatly summoned up in Butler's rethorical question: what does it mean to situate a transcendental subject? The rethinking of subjectivity and agency has only started.
Cooking and eating characteristics of some newly identified inter sub-specific ( indica/japonica) rice hybrids

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Experiments were conducted to determine the cooking and eating characteristics of 17 newly identified inter sub-specific ( indica/japonica) rice hybrids. Superior cooking performance over DRRH-1 was observed in 14 hybrids for length of cooked rice elongation, all the hybrids for kernel elongation ratio, 14 hybrids for elongation index, 11 hybrids for water uptake, and 6 hybrids for volume expansion. Among the hybrids, 2 hybrids showed low amylose content (18.8%) and 7 hybrids showed high amylose content (26-30%), while the remaining 8 hybrids showed intermediate amylose content (20-25%) which was considered the best from the cooking point of view. The amylose content of the hybrids depended on the amylose content of parents. Maximum hybrids showed intermediate gelatinization temperature (GT) and intermediate amylose content which is preferred by the consumers. High amylose grains had low GT, intermediate amylose grains had intermediate GT while low and very low amylose types had high GT.
Cell Size Control by Modulation of the Growth Rate of Individual Mammalian Cells

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Examination of a growing population of eukaryotic cells demonstrates that they do not divide when they have reached the same size, yet cells of a given type, growing exponentially under constant cultural conditions, maintain a constant mean size. Moreover, although new variability is continually introduced by unequal cell divisions or other environmental perturbations of growth, the variation around the mean size does not increase from generation to generation. Generally, sister cells were found to have similar interdivision times (IDT), but occasionally large discrepancies between the IDTs of sisters were found. Mammalian cells also maintain a constant mean size when growing exponentially. Mammalian cells "round up" before division and become approximately spherical. It is possible, therefore, to estimate the volume of premitotic cells from their projected cross-sectional areas and to make similar measurements on the still-rounded division products. The conclusion that size regulation is mediated by alterations in growth rate is supported by the correlations between mother cells and their progeny.
