    Abstract: ... from the upper 600 m of the AND-1B sediment core recovered from beneath the northwest part of the Ross ice shelf ... collapsed, resulting in a switch from grounded ice, or ice shelves, to open waters in the Ross embayment ...

    Abstract Thirty years after oxygen isotope records from microfossils deposited in ocean sediments confirmed the hypothesis that variations in the Earth's orbital geometry control the ice ages (Hays et al., 1976, doi:10.1126/science.194.4270.1121), fundamental questions remain over the response of the Antarctic ice sheets to orbital cycles (Raymo and Huybers, 2008, doi:10.1038/nature06589). Furthermore, an understanding of the behaviour of the marine-based West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) during the 'warmer-than-present' early-Pliocene epoch (~5-3 Myr ago) is needed to better constrain the possible range of ice-sheet behaviour in the context of future global warming (Solomon et al., 2007). Here we present a marine glacial record from the upper 600 m of the AND-1B sediment core recovered from beneath the northwest part of the Ross ice shelf by the ANDRILL programme and demonstrate well-dated, ~40-kyr cyclic variations in ice-sheet extent linked to cycles in insolation influenced by changes in the Earth's axial tilt (obliquity) during the Pliocene. Our data provide direct evidence for orbitally induced oscillations in the WAIS, which periodically collapsed, resulting in a switch from grounded ice, or ice shelves, to open waters in the Ross embayment when planetary temperatures were up to ~3° C warmer than today ( Kim and Crowley, 2000, doi:10.1029/1999PA000459) and atmospheric CO2 concentration was as high as ~400 p.p.m.v. (van der Burgh et al., 1993, doi:10.1126/science.260.5115.1788, Raymo et al., 1996, doi:10.1016/0377-8398(95)00048-8). The evidence is consistent with a new ice-sheet/ice-shelf model (Pollard and DeConto, 2009, doi:10.1038/nature07809) that simulates fluctuations in Antarctic ice volume of up to +7 m in equivalent sea level associated with the loss of the WAIS and up to +3 m in equivalent sea level from the East Antarctic ice sheet, in response to ocean-induced melting paced by obliquity. During interglacial times, diatomaceous sediments indicate high surface-water productivity, minimal summer sea ice and air temperatures above freezing, suggesting an additional influence of surface melt (Huybers, 2006, doi:10.1126/science.1125249) under conditions of elevated CO2.

    Abstract: ... in the ice margin across the Western Ross Sea shelf, and coeval fluctuations in water depth. This paper ...

    Abstract The upper 1200 m of pre-Pliocene sediment recovered by Cape Roberts Project (CRP) drilling off the Victoria Land coast of Antarctica between 1997-1999 has been subdivided into 54 unconformity-bound stratigraphic sequences, spanning the period c. 32 to 17 Ma. The sequences are recognised on the basis of the cyclical vertical stacking of their constituent lithofacies, which are enclosed by erosion surfaces produced during the grounding of the advancing ice margin onto the sea floor. Each sequence represents deposition in a range of offshore shelf to coastal glacimarine sedimentary environments during oscillations in the ice margin across the Western Ross Sea shelf, and coeval fluctuations in water depth. This paper applies spectral analysis techniques to depth- and time-series of sediment grain size (500 samples) for intervals of the core with adequate chronological data. Time series analysis of 0.5-l.0m-spaced grainsize data spanning sequences 9-11 (CRP-2/2A) and sequences 1-7 (CRP-3) suggests that the length of individual sequences correspond to Milankovitch frequencies, probably 41 k.y., but possibly as low as 100 k.y. Higher frequency periodic components at 23 k.y. (orbital precession) and 15-10 k.y. (sub-orbital) are recognised at the intrasequence-scale, and may represent climatic cycles akin to the ice rafting episodes described in the North Atlantic Ocean during the Quaternary. The cyclicity recorded by glacimarine sequences in CRP core provides direct evidence from the periphery of Antarctica for orbital oscillations in the size of the Oligocene-Early Miocene East Antarctic Ice Sheet.

    Abstract Background: Local and international research has identified rural origin as an important reason why healthcare professionals (HCPs) work in rural areas, and in South Africa (SA) considerable effort has gone into recruiting and training rural-origin students. However, there is little information in the SA literature on where graduates supported by these initiatives work, and whether they contribute to the rural workforce long term.
    Objective: To determine the number of years that rural-origin Umthombo Youth Development Foundation (UYDF)-supported graduates of different disciplines worked at rural public healthcare facilities (PHCFs).
    Methods: A retrospective descriptive study reviewed work record data of 405 UYDF graduates, to calculate the number of years they worked at a rural PHCF. Data were analysed descriptively and presented in tables with totals and percentages.
    Results: Ninety percent (363/405) of UYDF-supported graduates returned to work at a rural PHCF. High percentages of social workers (85%), optometrists (80%), speech therapists, nurses (72%) and dental therapists (70%) worked for ≥5 years at a rural PHCF, while only 13% of audiologists, 14% of doctors, 29% of pharmacists, and 28% of dentists and occupational therapists worked at a rural PHCF for ≥5 years. Ten percent (42/405) of graduates did not work at a rural PHCF at all. A total of 110/124 (89%) of doctors supported by UYDF had worked at a rural PHCF, with 32% (40/124) working at a rural PHCF for ≥3 years. Overall, 54% of UYDF-supported graduates (219/405) worked for ≥3 years at a rural PHCF, and 38.5% (157/405) worked for ≥5 years at rural PHCFs. The majority of UYDF graduates had contributed towards long-term staffing of rural PHCFs. Lack of professional development opportunities at rural PHCFs as well as the reduced number of funded posts at rural PHCFs reduced the effectiveness of the UYDF initiative.
    Conclusion: The UYDF Scholarship Scheme has shown that investment in rural students through a bonded scholarship can contribute to staffing rural PHCFs, as >90% of graduates worked at rural PHCFs, and for some disciplines >70% of graduates worked for ≥5 years at a rural PHCF. Allied HCPs worked on average for longer periods at rural PHCFs than doctors.

    Abstract Background: Arteriovenous access failure is most often due to the development of neointimal hyperplastic stenoses. Balloon angioplasty remains standard of care for endovascular treatment of stenoses obstructing blood flow in hemodialysis fistulas and grafts. Scoring balloon technologies have been developed to disrupt the atheromatous plaque and have shown to be safe and effective for treating stenosis in the hemodialysis access circuit. However, improvement in patency has yet to be established.
    Methods: This prospective, single-arm study included 50 patients with stenosed hemodialysis fistula/grafts treated with the AngioSculpt
    Results: Treatment with the scoring balloon resulted in a reduction in stenosis from 78% ± 13.36% to 7.2% ± 7.57% (mean ± standard deviation). Scoring balloon inflation pressures averaged 11.4 atm; no slippage/dissections occurred. After 2 months, 10% of patients required re-intervention. At 6 months, 19% of patients required re-intervention. The 6-month freedom from re-intervention rate was higher for patients with stenosed fistulas (83.3%) compared to patients with stenosed grafts (71.4%). Six-month patency rates were highest for patients with no or one previous intervention (91.6% and 90.0%, respectively); patients with two to five preceding interventions had a 6-month patency rate of 80%, and those with more than five previous interventions had a 50% 6-month patency rate.
    Conclusion: Results from this pilot study suggest that the AngioSculpt scoring balloon may be a viable treatment option for stenosed arteriovenous fistula/graft access.
