    Abstract Objective: Compare immune responses induced by 2 commercial intranasal (IN) modified-live viral (MLV) vaccines given individually or coadministered and evaluate prevention of infection and lung pathology following bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) challenge.
    Animals: 36 male Holstein calves (ages, 5 to 12 days).
    Methods: In a randomized complete block design, each calf received an IN injection of either vaccine diluent (Placebo), an MLV vaccine containing bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1; N3), bovine coronavirus vaccine (BC), or both N3 and BC (BC + N3) with a booster 4 weeks later. Nasal secretions and blood were collected weekly. Three weeks after the booster, the calves were challenged with BHV-1, sampled for virus shedding, and euthanized 10 days later to quantify lung pathology. The study period was September 7, 2020, to April 6, 2021.
    Results: Calves were seropositive for BHV-1 and BC before vaccination. No significant difference in BC-specific serum immunoglobin G and nasal immunoglobin A antibody responses in the BC versus BC + N3 group or BHV-1-specific serum immunoglobin G and nasal immunoglobin A antibody responses in the N3 versus BC + N3 group. Cytokine responses to BHV-1 and BC did not differ among groups. BHV-1 shedding after challenge was significantly reduced in N3 groups versus Placebo and BC. There was a significant reduction in lung pathology in the N3 + BC group versus Placebo.
    Clinical relevance: This study provides evidence an MLV vaccine containing BHV-1 and an MLV BC vaccine can be coadministered to neonatal calves without significantly altering immune responses to the 2 viruses or compromising the prevention of BHV-1 respiratory disease. Calves receiving the BC + N3 vaccine had a significant reduction in lung pathology after BHV-1 aerosol challenge.

    Abstract Clinical academia aims to bridge the gap between clinicians and scientists, by combining academic activity with clinical practice. The term 'clinical academics' generally refers to clinicians who have protected time within their job plans for undertaking academic activities. Engagement with academic activity by trainees is not only essential to fulfil necessary curriculum competencies, but also allows them to explore areas of interest outside of clinical practice and develop advanced academic skills. This article provides an overview of different routes into academic neurosurgery, and discusses the advantages and difficulties in pursuing this career path. It also covers the differences between postgraduate research degrees and explores the different job plan models available at consultant level. Academic neurosurgery is a rewarding career and opportunities should be made available to those who wish to explore it further. Developing academic careers may have a positive impact on wider workforce planning strategies and improve the delivery of high-quality evidence-based neurosurgical care.

    Abstract Objectives: Diagnostic shifts in first episode psychosis (FEP) are not uncommon. Many studies examining diagnostic stability use structured diagnostic interviews. Less is known about the stability of FEP diagnoses made clinically.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients enrolled in a transdiagnostic FEP clinic. For the 96 patients followed clinically at least 2 years, we compared diagnoses at intake and 24 months.
    Results: Diagnostic stability was high for bipolar disorder (89%), schizoaffective disorder (89%), and schizophrenia (82%). Psychosis not otherwise specified (13%) was more unstable, with limited baseline differences that would enable clinicians to predict who would convert to a primary psychotic vs affective psychotic disorder.
    Conclusions: Our real-world clinical sample shows that FEP diagnoses, with the exception of unspecified psychosis, are diagnostically stable, even without structured diagnostic interviews.

    Abstract Permafrost underlies about one fifth of the global land area and affects ground stability, freshwater runoff, soil chemistry, and surface‐atmosphere gas exchange. The depth of thawed ground overlying permafrost (active layer thickness) has broadly increased across the Arctic in recent decades, coincident with a period of increased streamflow, especially the lowest flows (baseflow). Mechanistic links between active layer thickness and baseflow have recently been explored using linear reservoir theory, but most watersheds behave as nonlinear reservoirs. We derive theoretical nonlinear relationships between long‐term average saturated soil thickness η‾ $\overline{\eta }$ (proxy for active layer thickness) and long‐term average baseflow. When applied to 38 years of daily streamflow data for the Kuparuk River basin on the North Slope of Alaska, the theory predicts η‾ $\overline{\eta }$ increased 0.17±0.22[2σ] $0.17\pm 0.22\,[2\sigma ]$ cm a⁻¹ between 1983 and 2020 (6.4±8.4 $6.4\pm 8.4$ cm total). The rate of increase nearly doubled to 0.29±0.31 $0.29\pm 0.31$ cm a⁻¹ between 1990 and 2020, during which time local field measurements from Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring sites indicate the active layer increased 0.31±0.22 $0.31\pm 0.22$ cm a⁻¹. The predicted rate of increase more than doubled again between 2002 and 2020, outpacing a near doubling of observed active layer thickening, consistent with trends in terrestrial water storage inferred from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellite gravimetry and Modern‐Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications climate reanalysis. Overall, hydrologic change is accelerating in the Kuparuk River basin, and we provide a theoretical framework for estimating basin‐scale changes in active layer water storage from streamflow measurements.

    Abstract Introduction: The extensive resources needed to train surgeons and maintain skill levels in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) are limited and confined to urban settings. Surgical education of remote/rural doctors is, therefore, paramount. Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to disseminate surgical knowledge and skill development at low costs. This study presents the outcomes of the first VR-enhanced surgical training course, 'Global Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery', developed through UK-Ugandan collaborations.
    Methods: A mixed-method approach (survey and semistructured interviews) evaluated the clinical impact and barriers of VR-enhanced training. Course content focused on essential skills relevant to Uganda (general surgery, obstetrics, trauma); delivered through: (1) hands-on cadaveric training in Brighton (scholarships for LMIC doctors) filmed in 360°; (2) virtual training in Kampala (live-stream via low-cost headsets combined with smartphones) and (3) remote virtual training (live-stream via smartphone/laptop/headset).
    Results: High numbers of scholarship applicants (n=130); registrants (Kampala n=80; remote n=1680); and attendees (Kampala n=79; remote n=556, 25 countries), demonstrates widespread appetite for VR-enhanced surgical education. Qualitative analysis identified three key themes: clinical education and skill development limitations in East Africa; the potential of VR to address some of these via 360° visualisation enabling a 'knowing as seeing' mechanism; unresolved challenges regarding accessibility and acceptability.
    Conclusion: Outcomes from our first global VR-enhanced essential surgical training course demonstrating dissemination of surgical skills resources in an LMIC context where such opportunities are scarce. The benefits identified included environmental improvements, cross-cultural knowledge sharing, scalability and connectivity. Our process of programme design demonstrates that collaboration across high-income and LMICs is vital to provide locally relevant training. Our data add to growing evidence of extended reality technologies transforming surgery, although several barriers remain. We have successfully demonstrated that VR can be used to upscale postgraduate surgical education, affirming its potential in healthcare capacity building throughout Africa, Europe and beyond.

    Abstract Introduction: Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and endobronchial valve (EBV) placement can produce substantial benefits in appropriately selected people with emphysema. The UK Lung Volume Reduction (UKLVR) registry is a national multicentre observational study set up to support quality standards and assess outcomes from LVR procedures at specialist centres across the UK.
    Methods: Data were analysed for all patients undergoing an LVR procedure (LVRS/EBV) who were recruited into the study at participating centres between January 2017 and June 2022, including; disease severity and risk assessment, compliance with guidelines for selection, procedural complications and survival to February 2023.
    Results: Data on 541 patients from 14 participating centres were analysed. Baseline disease severity was similar in patients who had surgery n=244 (44.9%), or EBV placement n=219 (40.9%), for example, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
