    Abstract Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is an inborn error of metabolism with multiple monogenic causes and a poorly understood pathogenesis, leading to the absence of effective causal treatments. Here we employ multi-layered omics profiling combined with biochemical and clinical features of individuals with MMA to reveal a molecular diagnosis for 177 out of 210 (84%) cases, the majority (148) of whom display pathogenic variants in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMUT). Stratification of these data layers by disease severity shows dysregulation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and its replenishment (anaplerosis) by glutamine. The relevance of these disturbances is evidenced by multi-organ metabolomics of a hemizygous Mmut mouse model as well as through identification of physical interactions between MMUT and glutamine anaplerotic enzymes. Using stable-isotope tracing, we find that treatment with dimethyl-oxoglutarate restores deficient tricarboxylic acid cycling. Our work highlights glutamine anaplerosis as a potential therapeutic intervention point in MMA.

    Abstract Aims/hypothesis: We assessed whether the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and the age of onset varied with the age at diabetes diagnosis of affected family members.
    Methods: We performed a national register-based open cohort study of individuals living in Denmark between 1995 and 2012. The population under study consisted of all individuals aged 30 years or older without diagnosed diabetes at the start date of the cohort (1 January 1995) and who had information about their parents' identity. Individuals who turned 30 years of age during the observation period and had available parental identity information were also added to the cohort from that date (open cohort design). These criteria restricted the study population mostly to people born between 1960 and 1982. Multivariable Poisson regression models adjusted for current age and highest educational attainment were used to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of type 2 diabetes.
    Results: We followed 2,000,552 individuals for a median of 14 years (24,034,059 person-years) and observed 76,633 new cases of type 2 diabetes. Compared with individuals of the same age and sex who did not have a parent or full sibling with diabetes, the highest risk of developing type 2 diabetes was observed in individuals with family members diagnosed at an early age. The IRR was progressively lower with a higher age at diabetes diagnosis in family members: 3.9 vs 1.4 for those with a parental age at diagnosis of 50 or 80 years, respectively; and 3.3 vs 2.0 for those with a full sibling's age at diagnosis of 30 or 60 years, respectively.
    Conclusions/interpretation: People with a family member diagnosed with diabetes at an earlier age are more likely to develop diabetes and also to develop it at an earlier age than those with a family member diagnosed in later life. This finding highlights the importance of expanding our understanding of the interplay between genetic diabetes determinants and the social, behavioural and environmental diabetes determinants that track in families across generations. Accurate registration of age at diagnosis should form an integral part of recording a diabetes family history, as it provides easily obtainable and highly relevant detail that may improve identification of individuals at increased risk of younger onset of type 2 diabetes. In particular, these individuals may benefit from closer risk factor assessment and follow-up, as well as prevention strategies that may involve the family.

    Abstract Objectives: The most common method of performing breast reconstruction after a mastectomy is using tissue expanders. Significant drainage that can lead to seromas and possible infection is a common sequela after mastectomies, and therefore, closed suction drains are routinely placed during the initial surgery (Vardanian et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 2011;128:403-410). Drains, however, are associated with increased pain and discomfort for the patient and have been attributed to an increased infection rate by some authors (Degnim et al. Ann Surg. 2013;258:240-247; Saratzis et al. Clin Breast Cancer. 2009;9:243-246). We report on our experience using a dual-chamber tissue expander placed in the prepectoral space without acellular dermal matrix or other supportive material, which allows for drainage of periprosthetic fluid and avoids drain placement.
    Patients and methods: A retrospective, single-institution review of patients' records was performed for all patients who underwent prepectoral tissue expander placement between January 2018 and June 2019. Patients who had drains placed or who underwent autologous reconstruction in combination with expander placement were excluded. Thirty-nine patients were selected, with a total of 66 expander placements. Demographics including body mass index, comorbidities, history of smoking or steroid use, perioperative chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and intraoperative details and indications for surgery were retrospectively collected. Outcomes were separated into minor and major complications. Major complications were defined as complications that required surgical intervention.
    Results: There were 51 prepectoral reconstructions with a dual-chamber tissue expander and no further surgical drain and 15 reconstructions using a standard expander with an additional closed suction drain. Overall complications for the no-drain cohort were 13.7% compared with 20% in the drain cohort (P = 0.68). Surgical site infection rate is 7.84% in the no-drain cohort compared with 13.3% in the drain cohort (P = 0.61). Mean numeric postoperative pain score at 6 hours was 3.2 in the no-drain cohort compared with 4.3 in the drain cohort (P = 0.03) and 4.17 compared with 5.6 at 12 hours, respectively (P = 0.04). Mean time to exchange of implant in the no-drain cohort was 152 days versus 126 days in the drain cohort (P = 0.38). Median follow-up times were 157 days for the no-drain cohort and 347 days for the drain cohort.
    Conclusions: Immediate breast reconstruction using a dual-chamber tissue expander offers a drain-free alternative to the immediate implant-based breast reconstruction. Our infection rate with 7.8% is lower than our own reported rates with subpectoral tissue expander reconstruction using either acellular dermal matrix or poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (17% and 11%). The overall complication rate is similar to historic data associated with breast reconstruction after mastectomy and suggests that dual-chamber expander placement offers a safe alternative possibly decreasing the patient's postoperative pain and discomfort that often is associated with closed suction drains (Saratzis et al. Clin Breast Cancer. 2009;9:243-246).

    Abstract Previous work suggests that juvenile salmon recruitment in rain-fed rivers is negatively influenced by warm and wet winters and cool springs. We tested whether this is generally applicable to a southern England chalk stream characterized by comparatively stable discharges and temperatures. We found that warm spawning and cool emergence temperatures negatively influenced juvenile recruitment between 2015 and 2020. Together these findings suggest an ability to predict juvenile productivity from water temperature records around spawning and fry emergence, thereby allowing time for management interventions in years of unfavourable temperatures.

    Title translation The role of in situ stress in determining hydraulic connectivity in a fractured rock aquifer (Australia)
    Abstract Fracture network connectivity is a spatially variable property that is difficult to quantify from standard hydrogeological datasets. This critical property is related to the distributions of fracture density, orientation, dimensions, intersections, apertures and roughness. These features that determine the inherent connectivity of a fracture network can be modified by secondary processes including weathering, uplift and unloading and other mechanisms that lead to fracture deformation in response to in situ stress. This study focussed on a fractured rock aquifer in the Clare Valley, South Australia, and found that fracture network connectivity could be discriminated from several geological, geophysical and hydrogeological field datasets at various scales including single well and local- to regional-scale data. Representative hydromechanical models of the field site were not only consistent with field observations but also highlighted the strong influence of in situ stress in determining the distribution of fracture hydraulic apertures and the formation of hydraulic chokes that impede fluid flow. The results of this multi-disciplinary investigation support the notion that the hydraulic conductivity of a fracture network is limited to the least hydraulically conductive interconnected fractures, which imposes a physical limit on the bulk hydraulic conductivity of a fractured rock aquifer.

    Abstract In 2008, a group of conservation scientists compiled a list of 100 priority questions for the conservation of the world's biodiversity. However, now almost a decade later, no one has yet published a study gauging how much progress has been made in addressing these 100 high-priority questions in the peer-reviewed literature. We took a first step toward reexamining the 100 questions to identify key knowledge gaps that remain. Through a combination of a questionnaire and a literature review, we evaluated each question on the basis of 2 criteria: relevance and effort. We defined highly relevant questions as those that - if answered - would have the greatest impact on global biodiversity conservation and quantified effort based on the number of review publications addressing a particular question, which we used as a proxy for research effort. Using this approach, we identified a set of questions that, despite being perceived as highly relevant, have been the focus of relatively few review publications over the past 10 years. These questions covered a broad range of topics but predominantly tackled 3 major themes: conservation and management of freshwater ecosystems, role of societal structures in shaping interactions between people and the environment, and impacts of conservation interventions. We believe these questions represent important knowledge gaps that have received insufficient attention and may need to be prioritized in future research.
