    Abstract Historically, a scarcity of comprehensive longitudinal microdata has affected comparative research on the interplay between self-identified race, immigrant status, and educational attainment. Thus, this study utilizes ethnic capital theory and harmonized data from Toronto, Canada, and Sydney, Australia, to scrutinize the success of ethnolinguistically diverse immigrants in accessing university education. While students from certain East Asian countries enter universities at higher rates in both cities, dissecting the intricacies of ethnic capital's operation proves challenging. Notably, first- and second-generation migrants who speak Chinese, Japanese, or Korean outdo their peers in university admissions by a larger margin in Toronto than in Sydney. However, the shortcomings of the administrative data in Toronto and the survey data in Sydney limit how we can interpret this finding. We postulate expanding existing data collections to enable insightful research on how the educational trajectories of Canadian students compare to those elsewhere with respect to immigration experiences, race, and ethnicity.

    Abstract Objective: To assess whether there is a higher incidence of musculoskeletal consultations in general practice among children with obesity.
    Design: Longitudinal SETTING: 285 north-east London general practitioners (GPs).
    Participants: 63 418 (50.9% boys) Reception and 55 364 (50.8% boys) Year 6 National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) participants, linked to GP electronic health records (EHRs).
    Main outcome measure: A GP consultation with a recorded musculoskeletal symptom or diagnosis.
    Methods: We calculated proportions with a musculoskeletal consultation by ethnic-adjusted weight status (underweight <2nd; overweight ≥91st; obese ≥98th centile), sex, ethnicity, and area-level deprivation. We estimated mutually-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using Cox's proportional regression models stratified by school year and sex.
    Results: We identified 1868 (3.0%) Reception and 4477 (8.1%) Year 6 NCMP participants with at least one musculoskeletal consultation. In adjusted analyses, Reception year girls with a body mass index (BMI) classified as overweight (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.52) or obese (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.35 to 2.06) were more likely to have at least one musculoskeletal consultation. Year 6 girls with obesity were more likely (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.35), and boys with a BMI in the underweight range were less likely (HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.73), to have a musculoskeletal consultation.
    Conclusions: Girls living with obesity at the start or end of primary school are more likely to attend their GP for a musculoskeletal consultation. Routine linkage of NCMP data to EHRs provides useful insights into childhood health conditions related to excess weight in early childhood. Recognition of obesity as a contributing factor for musculoskeletal symptoms may inform clinical management, particularly in girls.

    Abstract Background: Acute gastroenteritis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The aim of this study was to explore assessment and management of children aged between 6 and 48 months presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute gastroenteritis.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 340 children aged 6-48 months. Data were collected by medical record audit for children presenting between 1 January and 31 December 2019.
    Results: General assessments were appropriate, specific dehydration assessment, blood pressure measurement and fluid balance chart documentation could be improved. Management of children with severe or no/mild dehydration was largely compliant with current recommendations: there was variability in management of children with moderate dehydration. There were no significant differences between Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in terms of dehydration severity and pathology abnormalities, however there were differences in management strategies.
    Conclusions: ED management of children with gastroenteritis was largely consistent with, or superior to, evidence-based recommendations. There was variability in the management of children with moderate dehydration and Australian Aboriginal children but it is unclear whether this is suboptimal or patient specific care. This study has highlighted areas for further research in this unique context.

    Abstract Abstract: Primary cutaneous acral CD8(+) lymphoma (AL) has been accepted as primary cutaneous acral CD8-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder in the revised WHO and updated WHO-EORTC lymphoma classifications. Commonly arising on the ears and comprising a clonal cytotoxic CD8 + T-cell infiltrate, almost all cases follow an indolent clinical course. A single aggressive case reported in the literature had a deletion at the CDKN2 locus at 9p21. We report an atypical CD8 + T-cell proliferation arising on the chest of an elderly man who had some similarities to AL but with a very high proliferation rate, absent p16 protein expression, and homozygous loss of the CDKN2 locus using FISH analysis. A diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL NOS) was preferred. Analyses of 4 cases of AL demonstrated often low p16 protein expression but intact CDKN2 loci. This case raises the problems of the boundaries between AL and PTCL NOS, and a possible role in the loss of p16 function in pathogenesis.

    Abstract Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) has long been thought to be an expression of low-frequency variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). However, alternative hypotheses have been forwarded, including that AMV is primarily externally forced. Here, we review the current state of play by assessing historical simulations made for the sixth coupled model intercomparison project (CMIP6). Overall, the importance of external forcing is sensitive to the type of AMV index used, due to the importance of globally coherent externally forced signals in the models. There are also significant contrasts between the processes that drive internally and externally forced AMV, but these processes can be isolated by exploring the multivariate expression of AMV. Specifically, internal variability in CMIP6 models is consistent with an important role of ocean circulation and AMOC and the externally forced AMV is largely a surface-flux forced mechanism with little role for the ocean. Overall, the internal multivariate fingerprint of AMV is similar to the observed, but the externally forced fingerprint appears inconsistent with observations. Therefore, climate models still suggest a key role for ocean dynamics, and specifically AMOC, in observed AMV. Nevertheless, models remain deficient in a number of areas, and a stronger role for externally forced dynamical changes cannot be ruled out. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Atlantic overturning: new observations and challenges'.

    Abstract Extracellular nanovesicles (EVs) are lipid-based vesicles secreted by cells and are present in all bodily fluids. They play a central role in communication between distant cells and have been proposed as potential indicators for the early detection of a wide range of diseases, including different types of cancer. However, reliable quantification of a specific subpopulation of EVs remains challenging. The process is typically lengthy and costly and requires purification of relatively large quantities of biopsy samples. Here, we show that microcantilevers operated with sufficiently small vibration amplitudes can successfully quantify a specific subpopulation of EVs directly from a drop (0.1 mL) of unprocessed saliva in less than 20 min. Being a complex fluid, saliva is highly non-Newtonian, normally precluding mechanical sensing. With a combination of standard rheology and microrheology, we demonstrate that the non-Newtonian properties are scale-dependent, enabling microcantilever measurements with a sensitivity identical to that in pure water when operating at the nanoscale. We also address the problem of unwanted sensor biofouling by using a zwitterionic coating, allowing efficient quantification of EVs at concentrations down to 0.1 μg/mL, based on immunorecognition of the EVs' surface proteins. We benchmark the technique on model EVs and illustrate its potential by quantifying populations of natural EVs commonly present in human saliva. The method effectively bypasses the difficulty of targeted detection in non-Newtonian fluids and could be used for various applications, from the detection of EVs and viruses in bodily fluids to the detection of molecular clusters or nanoparticles in other complex fluids.

    Abstract The full-field stimulus test (FST) is a psychophysical technique designed for the measurement of visual function in low vision. The method involves the use of a ganzfeld stimulator, as used in routine full-field electroretinography, to deliver full-field flashes of light. This guideline was developed jointly by the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) and Imaging and Perimetry Society (IPS) in order to provide technical information, promote consistency of testing and reporting, and encourage convergence of methods for FST. It is intended to aid practitioners and guide the formulation of FST protocols, with a view to future standardisation.
