    Abstract Block polymers assemble into a variety of phase-separated morphologies based on volume fraction (φ) and interactions (χ) of the respective blocks. The arrangement of three different polymer blocks could either be a 3-arm star, with each block having one terminus attached to a common junction point or a linear A-B-C architecture. A versatile strategy is reported to synthesize a series of well-defined graft polymers that lie along the unexplored continuum between a 3-arm star and an A-B-C linear triblock polymer architecture. Using the technique of single-molecule insertion, precise control over the position of graft arm C along the B chain was achieved. A series of discrete graft polymers (PMMA-b-PS-g-PEO) with fixed φ and prescribed ω values that lie on the continuum between a 3-arm star (ω = 0) and linear triblock polymer (ω = 1) were synthesized. Morphological studies using small-angle X-ray scattering and conventional and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy reveal the transition between lamellae, perforated lamellae, and cylindrical morphologies with systematic variation in the ω values, a trend attributed to the topological frustration and the associated χ values between the three blocks. Molecular dynamic simulations of coarse-grained models were found to predict phase diagrams that are consistent with the experimentally observed morphologies. Our results suggest that changes in ω lead to topological frustration which is an important additional new design parameter that can be used to tune the morphology of multiblock polymers in addition to φ and χ.

    Abstract Colour Doppler ultrasonography is the first measure to allow objective bedside assessment of GCA. This article discusses the evidence using the OMERACT filter. Consensus definitions for ultrasonographic changes were agreed upon by a Delphi process, with the 'halo' and 'compression' signs being characteristic. The halo is sensitive to change, disappearing within 2-4 weeks of starting glucocorticoids. Ultrasonography has moderate convergent validity with temporal artery biopsy in a pooled analysis of 12 studies including 965 participants [κ = 0.44 (95% CI 0.38, 0.50)]. The interobserver and intra-observer reliabilities are good (κ = 0.6 and κ = 0.76-0.78, respectively) in live exercises and excellent when assessing acquired images and videos (κ = 0.83-0.87 and κ = 0.88, respectively). Discriminant validity has been tested against stroke and diabetes mellitus (κ=-0.16 for diabetes). Machine familiarity and adequate examination time improves performance. Ultrasonography in follow-up is not yet adequately defined. Some patients have persistent changes in the larger arteries but these do not necessarily imply treatment failure or predict relapses.

    Abstract Background: We present the largest study of the frequency and nature of visual complications in a cohort of 350 patients consecutively diagnosed with giant cell arteritis (GCA).
    Methods: All individuals were assessed using structured forms and diagnosed using imaging or biopsy. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyse data for predicting visual loss.
    Results: Visual symptoms occurred in 101 (28.9%) patients, with visual loss in one or both eyes in 48 (13.7%) patients. Four patients had binocular visual loss. Anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (N=31), retinal artery obstruction (N=8) and occipital stroke (N=2) were the main causes of visual loss. Of the 47 individuals who had repeat visual acuity testing at 7 days, three individuals had improvement to 6/9 or better. After introducing the fast-track pathway, the frequency of visual loss decreased from 18.7% to 11.5%. Age at diagnosis (odds ratio (OR) 1.12) and headache (OR 0.22) were significant determinants of visual loss in a multivariate model. Jaw claudication trended to significance (OR 1.96, p=0.054).
    Conclusions: We recorded a visual loss frequency of 13.7% in the largest cohort of patients with GCA examined from a single centre. Although improvement in vision was rare, a dedicated fast-track pathway reduced visual loss. Headache could result in earlier diagnosis and protect against visual loss.
