    Abstract Background: Memory complaint in the absence of organic pathology is a common phenomenon accounting for up to one third of patients presenting to memory clinics. Health anxiety has been specifically linked to dementia worry and repeated presentations to the National Health Service (NHS). Providing reassurance that an individual does not have dementia appears ineffective in reducing presentations to primary and secondary care services.
    Aims: This study sought to evaluate and establish the effectiveness of a 1-hour pilot training workshop to enhance healthcare professionals' knowledge and confidence to those with health anxiety around cognitive decline.
    Method: The one-session pilot training workshop was developed and informed by previous work and consultation with the 2Gether NHS Foundation Trust Memory Assessment Service staff. The training workshop was then evaluated by employing an idiosyncratic self-report questionnaire. Participants completed the questionnaire prior to and after the training workshop.
    Results: Pre- and post-training questionnaires revealed that the pilot training workshop was effective in increasing perceived knowledge and confidence in staff responding to patients presenting with health anxiety and co-occurring subjective memory complaints.
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that healthcare professionals may benefit from training in identifying and addressing health-anxious individuals with subjective memory complaints. This may have implications in the provision of psychologically informed care offered in a memory assessment service. Recommendations are made for further enhancing the effectiveness of staff training and promoting alternative service treatment pathways.

    Abstract Salt ingestion by animals and humans has been noted from prehistory. The search for salt is largely driven by a physiological need for sodium. There is a large body of literature on sodium intake in laboratory rats, but the vast majority of this work has used male rats. The limited work conducted in both male and female rats, however, reveals sex differences in sodium intake. Importantly, while humans ingest salt every day, with every meal and with many foods, we do not know how many of these findings from rodent studies can be generalized to men and women. This review provides a synthesis of the literature that examines sex differences in sodium intake and highlights open questions. Sodium serves many important physiological functions and is inextricably linked to the maintenance of body fluid homeostasis. Indeed, from a motivated behavior perspective, the drive to consume sodium has largely been studied in conjunction with the study of thirst. This review will describe the neuroendocrine controls of fluid balance, mechanisms underlying sex differences, sex differences in sodium intake, changes in sodium intake during pregnancy, and the possible neuronal mechanisms underlying these differences in behavior. Having reviewed the mechanisms that can only be studied in animal experiments, we address sex differences in human dietary sodium intake in reproduction, and with age.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Changes in BMI z score (BMIz) are widely used in weight control programs and interventions to monitor changes in body fatness, but this metric may not be optimal. We examined the ability of 3 BMI metrics to assess adiposity change among children with a wide range of BMIs.
    Methods: The sample comprised 343 3-year-old children with serial measurements of BMI and body fatness every 4 months over 4 years. We compared correlations between changes in body fatness, calculated with dual-energy-x-ray absorptiometry, and changes in 3 BMI metrics: BMIz and percentage of the 50th (%50th) and 95th (%95th) percentiles in the CDC growth charts.
    Results: About 21% of the participants were Black and 79% were white. Changes in body fatness over 4 years were more strongly associated with changes in %50th and %95th than with changes in BMIz. Correlations with %body fat among all children were r = 0.64 for BMIz versus r = 0.77 to 0.78 for %50th and %95th (P < .001 for differences between the correlations). Stratified analyses showed the difference between the correlations were similar among boys and girls, among white children and Black children, and among children without obesity and those with obesity.
    Conclusions: Changes in adiposity among young children are better captured by expressing changes in BMI as a percentage of the 50th or 95th percentiles instead of BMIz change. Using the best BMI metric will allow pediatricians to better assess a child's change in body fatness over time.

    Abstract Maintaining fluid balance is critical for life. The central components that control fluid intake are only partly understood. This contribution to the collection of papers highlighting work by members of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior focuses on the role that dopamine has on fluid intake and describes the roles that various bioregulators can have on thirst and sodium appetite by influencing dopamine systems in the brain. The goal of the review is to highlight areas in need of more research and to propose a framework to guide that research. We hope that this framework will inspire researchers in the field to investigate these interesting questions in order to form a more complete understanding of how fluid intake is controlled.

    Abstract Chondrosarcoma of the larynx is rare accounting for approximately 1% of laryngeal cancers; clear cell subtype is a rare variant. Given the low risk of occult nodal disease, they present a unique opportunity to maximise tissue preservation in order to optimise both recovery and long-term functional outcomes. We present a case of laryngeal clear cell chondrosarcoma causing critical airway obstruction. An emergency tracheostomy was performed and mapping biopsies were taken. The tumour originated from the cricoid and extended into both arytenoid superstructures precluding cricotracheal resection. A modified narrow-field laryngectomy was performed, preserving all pharyngeal mucosa and neurovascularly intact infrahyoids. Organ preservation surgery is preferred in the management of laryngeal chondrosarcoma. If laryngectomy is required, the surgeon must ensure that all uninvolved, functional tissue is preserved carefully to improve swallow and voice outcomes postoperatively. We describe a novel technique used to achieve this outcome.

    Abstract Background: Adolescent dancers are at high risk for injuries due to the physical demands of dance training and the physiological changes that occur during adolescence. Though studies report high injury rates, there are few standardized screening tools available for adolescent dancers.
    Hypothesis/purpose: To develop and describe a standardized, feasible, evidence-based, and clinically relevant screen for adolescent dancers.
    Study design: Descriptive Epidemiology Study.
    Methods: Dancers at two suburban pre-professional dance studios, in two cohorts, participated in the Columbia Adolescent Dancer Screen (CADS) that includes dance injury history, health questionnaires (EAT-26, SF-36, DFOS), aerobic capacity, range of motion, strength, balance/orthopedic special tests, and dance technique. Participants were asked to complete a weekly injury surveillance questionnaire derived from the Dance-Specific Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems for 14 weeks following the screening. Feasibility was assessed using process and content analysis in four areas: practicality, demand, implementation, and adaptation.
    Results: Descriptive data were collected from 32 female dancers aged 11-17 with cohort one averaging 18.57 dance hours per week and cohort two averaging 10.6 dance hours per week. The screen was practical, able to screen seven to eight dancers per hour utilizing nine assessors and requiring a one-hour commitment from dancers. Cost and space requirements were considered and kept to a minimum while utilizing portable equipment. All screening slots were filled with all dancers agreeing to follow-up injury surveillance, indicating high demand. The screen was implemented with two cohorts with revisions to improve efficiency applied for the second cohort.
    Conclusion: The CADS is a feasible screening tool for adolescent dancers that overcomes barriers by being pragmatic, evidence-based, and efficient. Screening can be implemented to obtain baseline values, inform wellness recommendations, and establish relationships with medical professionals.

    Abstract Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is low in most patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Decreased ciliary motion could lead to antigen stasis, increasing oxidant production and NO oxidation in the airways. This could both decrease gas phase NO and increase nitrosative stress. We studied primary airway epithelial cells from healthy controls (HCs) and patients with PCD with several different genotypes. We measured antigen clearance in fenestrated membranes exposed apically to the fluorescently labeled antigen
