    Abstract Aims: This research aimed to assess the rate and reliability of routine nurse-completed malnutrition screening and report the prevalence of malnutrition risk on admission to Christchurch Hospital.
    Methods: Student dietitians administered the Malnutrition Screening Tool to patients in three speciality wards within 48 h of admission. Student dietitians' Malnutrition Screening Tool scores were compared against documented nurse-completed Malnutrition Screening Tool scores. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Fisher's exact test, and Cohen's kappa tests (interrater reliability ⱪ). A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: Student dietitians, using the Malnutrition Screening Tool, screened 360 (96%) of 377 eligible patients while nurses screened 332 (88%) patients. Student dietitians and nurses screened 119 patients (33%) and 63 patients (18%) respectively at risk of malnutrition. There was fair agreement (ⱪ = 0.311) in Malnutrition Screening Tool total scores between nurses and student dietitians. There was a significant difference in the proportion of patients screened at risk of malnutrition between nurses and student dietitians (p < 0.0001).
    Conclusion: Malnutrition risk remains high in acute care settings. Nurses were less likely to screen patients as at risk of malnutrition than student dietitians. Regular support and training in using Malnutrition Screening Tool may help improve the rate and reliability of routine malnutrition screening.

    Abstract Background: Reports in the literature indicate that specialty clinics focusing on management of patients with specific chronic disorders have a significant positive impact on patient outcomes. Atrial fibrillation (AF), one of the most common forms of cardiac arrhythmia, affects millions of patients. Outcome data regarding the impact of managing patients with AF are limited. We established a specialty clinic focusing on management of patients with AF. The objective of our study was to evaluate the outcomes of treating AF patients in this clinic.
    Methods: A team consisting of electrophysiologists and pharmacists designed a specific plan for managing and educating patients. This plan consisted of evaluation, implementation of an individualized treatment plan, patient education, medication management, and follow-up care. We reviewed the outcomes of patients who had clinic visits between November 2011 and March 2012. The primary outcome was the incidence of AF-related hospitalizations and stroke.
    Results: Seventy one patients were included in the analysis. Out of 71 patients, we identified 17 (23.9%) patients who were hospitalized. Two of these 17 hospitalized patients had ischemic stroke events.
    Conclusion: When compared to published data in the existing literature, managing AF patients in specialty clinics reduces the incidence of AF-related hospitalizations and stroke.

    Abstract Background: Rhinovirus (HRV) is associated with the large majority of virus-induced asthma exacerbations in children and young adults, but the mechanisms remain poorly defined.
    Methods: Asthmatics and non-asthmatic controls were inoculated with HRV-A16, and nasal epithelial samples were obtained 7 days before, 36 hours after, and 7 days after viral inoculation. RNA was extracted and subjected to RNA-seq analysis.
    Results: At baseline, 57 genes were differentially expressed between asthmatics and controls, and the asthmatics had decreased expression of viral replication inhibitors and increased expression of genes involved in inflammation. At 36 hours (before the emergence of peak symptoms), 1329 genes were significantly altered from baseline in the asthmatics compared to 62 genes in the controls. At this time point, asthmatics lacked an increase in IL-10 signaling observed in the controls. At 7 days following HRV inoculation, 222 genes were significantly dysregulated in the asthmatics, whereas only 4 genes were dysregulated among controls. At this time point, the controls but not asthmatics demonstrated upregulation of SPINK5.
    Conclusions: As judged by the magnitude and persistence of dysregulated genes, asthmatics have a substantially different host response to HRV-A16 infection compared with non-asthmatic controls. Gene expression differences illuminate biologically plausible mechanisms that contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of HRV-induced asthma exacerbations.

    Abstract: ... digest of mouse proteome of epicardial adipose tissue with fat diet, 802 N-glycosylatedpeptides of 316 ...

    Abstract Phosphorylation and glycosylation are two of the most important and widespread post-translational modifications(PTMs) in an organism. Proteomics analysis of the PTMs has been challenged by low stoichiometry of the modified proteins andsuppression effects by high abundance proteins, typically no-functional house-keeping proteins. In this study, a novel methodwas applied for not only isolating PTM peptides from intact peptides but also concurrently characterizing of glyco- and phosphoproteomeusing electrostatic repulsion hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC) packed with silica coated by crosslinkedpolyethyleneimine. For 2 mg tryptic digest of mouse proteome of epicardial adipose tissue with fat diet, 802 N-glycosylatedpeptides of 316 glycoproteins and 159 phosphorylated peptides of 75 phosphoproteins were identified using HPLC chip/quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) tandem mass spectrometer.
