    Abstract Objectives: This qualitative study explored the barriers and enablers influencing Western Australian (WA) community pharmacists' knowledge, confidence, willingness and practice in engaging older clients (>60 years) in alcohol-related health discussions.
    Methods: Two focus groups were conducted with a total of 14 community pharmacists who had previously completed a formative quantitative survey (n = 63), and indicated willingness to participate in a follow-up focus group. Focus group questions, informed by the survey results, explored participants' perceptions about barriers and enablers to delivering health information and advice about alcohol to older clients (60+ years). Shaw and colleagues' theoretical framework was used to understand barriers and enablers in relation to role legitimacy, role adequacy and role support.
    Key findings: Participants acknowledged that providing health information about alcohol to older clients is a legitimate part of a community pharmacist's role, and most were confident performing this role in situations perceived as core to their professional practice, such as while dispensing medicines. However, many participants identified limited knowledge, skills and confidence in assisting older clients who may have alcohol issues, beyond advising them on medication and alcohol use. Structural barriers such as time and financial barriers were also identified.
    Conclusion: Routine professional practice including dispensing medicine and home medicine reviews may provide valuable opportunities to engage older clients in alcohol-related discussions. However, limited knowledge concerning appropriate strategies to assist older clients reduce their alcohol consumption, coupled with limited skills and confidence among community pharmacists in raising sensitive alcohol-related issues with clients, suggest the need for specific alcohol-related training and support.

    Abstract Observing how pinnipeds respond to variations in climatic and oceanographic conditions informs marine managers on factors that could limit their range, foraging ability and breeding success. Here, we examine how Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) at Seal Rocks, Victoria, Australia, responded to normal climatic conditions from August 2009 to January 2010, which included their Austral spring-summer breeding period, to investigate their tolerances to a range of environmental stimuli. Seal numbers ashore and a range of climatic variables were collected hourly during daylight periods and compared using Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs). Air temperature was the most consistent predictor of haul-out behavior, with seal numbers ashore declining as air temperature increased (effect size -50%, edf 1.00, P <0.001). Increased wave height (effect size 74%, edf 1.00, P <0.001) and wind speed (effect size 79%, edf 1.00, P <0.001) were associated with increased seal numbers ashore. Potentially, higher air temperatures reduce the seals tolerance to remain out of the water, while high wind/wave action increases at-sea metabolic costs. These results demonstrate how changes in climate could alter a seal's ability to remain ashore, to rest or breed, and its ability to forage effectively, thus driving changes in population status and range.

    Abstract Genetic predisposition to development of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies is probably multifactorial. Major histocompatibility complex associations with these diseases provide the strongest evidence for a genetic component. In Caucasoids, haplotypes marked by B8/DR3 are associated with each of the clinical subgroups, except mixed connective tissue disease (DR4). The strongest associations are with inclusion body myositis, polymyositis in the presence of anti-Jo-1, and with antibodies to PM-Scl in overlap syndromes. The underlying mechanisms of these associations are probably different. Unique major histocompatibility complex associations are seen with other myositis-associated autoantibodies. The association can vary between racial groups as can the type of autoantibody produced within a disease subgroup, perhaps reflecting different T cell receptor repertoires or different inducing agents. The mapping of a gene for one form of hereditary inclusion body myositis to chromosome 9p1-q1 provides a lead for the investigation of sporadic inclusion body myositis, as does the expanding knowledge of genetic factors in Alzheimer's disease. The demonstration of deletions of mitochondrial DNA in the muscle of patients with inclusion body myositis raises the question of their role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

    Abstract The genes most commonly considered when investigating immunogenetic associations with autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory muscle disease (IMD), are those encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the T-cell receptor (TCR) genes and the immunoglobulin genes. In caucasoids HLA DR3 is associated with adult polymyositis (PM) and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and is probably increased in frequency in adult DM. In inclusion body myositis (IBM) DR3 and DR1 have been separately reported to be increased but few patients have been analysed. The DR3 in IMD is almost always present on the ancestral haplotype marked by HLA-B8, C4A*Q0 and DR3 and presumably accounts for the association with C4A*Q0 which has been reported in some subgroups of IMD. In other races the associations are less clear although DR6 may be increased in blacks with PM. In PM, DR3 is strongly associated with the presence of antibodies to histidyl tRNA synthetase (Jo-1). DR52 is even more strongly associated with the presence of this autoantibody and this association can be demonstrated in black and white patients. It is unlikely that DR3 is associated with autoantibodies to other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases or signal recognition proteins although fewer cases have been reported and racial differences may exist. Antibodies to the Pm-Scl antigen are also associated with DR3 while autoantibodies to Mi-2 may be associated with DR53. In caucasoids DR4 was increased in D-penicillamine induced IMD but again there may be inter-racial differences. Amongst caucasoids with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) there is an increased frequency of DR4 and this allele is associated with the development of antibodies to ribonucleoprotein (RNP). In other races the data are minimal. Very few investigations of associations between TCR polymorphisms or immunoglobulin allotypes and IMD have been reported. The phenotype Gm 3;5 has been associated with PM in caucasoids and may interact with DR3 in predisposing to disease. The Gm phenotype 1,3;5,21 has been associated with MCTD and with the development of anti-RNP, with or without MCTD, in caucasoids. Multiple genetic factors are likely to determine the development of IMD and the particular combination of alleles at predisposing loci may differ between races and according to the inducing agent. Furthermore, the predisposing genetic factors may vary between subgroups of IMD.

    Abstract Sporadic inclusion-body myositis (sIBM) is the most common acquired muscle disease in Caucasians over the age of 50 years. Pathologically it is marked by inflammatory, degenerative, and mitochondrial changes that interact in a yet-unknown way to cause progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. The cause of the disease is unknown, but it is thought to involve a complex interplay between environmental factors, genetic susceptibility, and aging. The strongest evidence for genetic susceptibility comes from studies of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), where different combinations of alleles have been associated with sIBM in different ethnic groups. The rare occurrence of familial cases of inclusion-body myositis (fIBM) adds additional evidence for genetic susceptibility. Other candidate genes such as those encoding some of the proteins accumulating in muscle fibers have been investigated, with negative results. The increased understanding of related disorders, the hereditary inclusion-body myopathies (hIBM), may also provide clues to the underlying pathogenesis of sIBM, but to date there is no indication that the genes responsible for these conditions are involved in sIBM. This review summarizes current understanding of the contribution of genetic susceptibility factors to the development of sIBM.

    Abstract Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumour, which is strongly associated with previous asbestos exposure and is resistant to all conventional anticancer therapies. An understanding of the biological properties of MM may provide insights into useful therapeutic strategies, and MM cell lines and animal models have been major contributors to our current knowledge of this tumour. Although karyotypic abnormalities are frequent, there is no clear evidence of a mesothelioma-specific chromosomal aberration. Similarly, there is no evidence of activation or over-expression of a known oncogene, or of the inactivation of currently identified tumour suppressor genes. A number of growth factors, including platelet derived growth factors A and B (PDGF-A and -B), insulin-like growth factor I and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and some of their receptors, have been reported to be expressed by MM cells, and each has the potential to play a role as a growth stimulant for MM or to modify immune responses to the tumour. Some data support an autocrine role for PDGF-A. MM cell lines are susceptible to lysis by a variety of immune effector cells, and their growth can often be inhibited by cytokines. The possibility of stimulating an immune response to MM by genetic manipulation of the tumour cells has been investigated using a murine model. The data so far suggest that transfection of allogeneic class I major histocompatibility complex genes or syngeneic class II genes alone is unlikely to induce protective immunity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

    Abstract The frequencies of Bgl 11 and BamH1 restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) of C beta, V beta 8, V beta 11 and V beta 7.2 have been defined in a healthy Australian population. Linkage disequilibrium between alleles of the T cell receptor (TCR) V beta 8 and V beta 11 gene segments has been confirmed. We have also confirmed the lack of linkage disequilibrium between either of these loci and alleles at C beta or V beta 7.2. Using RFLPs at V beta 11 and V beta 8 loci TCR beta haplotypes have been identified in five families in which the probands have insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). An extremely rare haplotype, marked by the higher molecular weight BamH1 allele (H, H) at each of V beta 11 and V beta 8, was found in the DR4+ DR3- probands of two families (P = 0.004). In three families in which the probands had DR3, the more common TCR haplotype LH (V beta 11, V beta 8) was found. Taken together, these data confirm that linkage disequilibrium does exist in the TCR beta locus, at least in some regions, and suggest that detailed analysis of the relationship between TCR V beta haplotypes and HLA is warranted since these RFLPs may be markers for important allelic V gene sequence variations.
