Abstract	Plants are extremely versatile organisms that respond to the environment in which they find themselves, but a large part of their development is under genetic regulation. The links between developmental parameters and yield are poorly understood in oilseed rape; understanding this relationship will help growers to predict their yields more accurately and breeders to focus on traits that may lead to yield improvements. To determine the relationship between seed yield and other agronomic traits, we investigated the natural variation that already exists with regards to resource allocation in 37 lines of the crop species Brassica napus. Over 130 different traits were assessed; they included seed yield parameters, seed composition, leaf mineral analysis, rates of pod and leaf senescence and plant architecture traits. A stepwise regression analysis was used to model statistically the measured traits with seed yield per plant. Above-ground biomass and protein content together accounted for 94.36% of the recorded variation. The primary raceme area, which was highly correlated with yield parameters (0.65), provides an early indicator of potential yield. The pod and leaf photosynthetic and senescence parameters measured had only a limited influence on seed yield and were not correlated with each other, indicating that reproductive development is not necessarily driving the senescence process within field-grown B. napus. Assessing the diversity that exists within the B. napus gene pool has highlighted architectural, seed and mineral composition traits that should be targeted in breeding programmes through the development of linked markers to improve crop yields.

Abstract	Objective: This study examined associations between Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-5 (SCAT-5) symptom reporting and gold-standard measures of anxiety and depression, and explored the utility SCAT-5 symptom subscales to identify anxiety and depression symptomology. Design: Prospective cross-sectional study. Setting: York University in Toronto, Canada. Participants: Preseason data were collected for varsity athletes (N = 296) aged between 17 and 25 years ( M = 20.01 years, SD = 1.69 years; 52% male). Main outcome measures: The SCAT-5 symptom evaluation scale was used to assess baseline symptoms. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Index-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to assess symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. Results: Endorsement of SCAT-5 symptoms of feeling anxious, sadness, irritability, and feeling more emotional had the strongest correlations with the GAD-7 ( r' s > 0.400; P' s < 0.001). Sadness, trouble falling asleep, concentration problems, feeling slowed down, anxious, irritability, mental fog, fatigue, and memory problems had the highest correlations with the PHQ-9 ( r' s >0 .400; P' s < 0.001). The Emotional subscale from the SCAT-5 predicted mild to severe anxiety on the GAD-7 ( P < 0.001). The Sleep, Cognitive, and Emotional subscales predicted mild to severe depression on the PHQ-9 ( P' s < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings provide better delineation of symptoms endorsed on the SCAT-5 symptoms that aid in identification of athletes with symptoms of anxiety or depression who may be at risk for developing a clinical disorder or experiencing persistent symptoms after a concussion.

Abstract	The blacklip rock oyster, Saccostrea lineage J, has the potential to support new aquaculture developments throughout its range in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, but lack of research investment in understanding basic biology has been a key failure point in the past. This study assessed Saccostrea lineage J spat growth and survival in downweller and upweller nursery systems, with the aim of establishing baseline biological information and evaluating spat performance to support commercialisation efforts. Downweller and upweller nursery systems were similarly effective at rearing spat, with mean dorsoventral measurement in both systems reaching a 5 mm deployment size at 59 days post hatch. Growth rates reported in this study of 0.19 and 0.20 mm day⁻¹ in the downweller and upweller, respectively, are comparable to other hatchery-produced tropical and subtropical bivalve spat. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that spat be held in nurseries for approximately two months to reach a 5 mm deployment size. The information obtained in this study is the first documentation of Saccostrea lineage J spat growth and survival, and the methods used provide a basis for commercial production of this species.

Abstract	To promote the efficient review of oncology drug applications, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE) launched the Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) pilot program in 2018. RTOR allows FDA to review individual sections of eCTD modules of a drug application for oncology drugs in contrast to requiring the applicant to submit complete modules or the complete application before review is initiated. Initially, the program accepted only supplemental applications with simple study designs and easily interpretable endpoints, but the scope has since been expanded to include applications for New Molecular Entities (NME), and other applications with more complex features. Though many applicants experience faster approvals under RTOR, it is difficult to isolate the effect of the RTOR program on review timelines as its contribution is masked by other expedited programs like priority review and breakthrough therapy designation (BTD). This article discusses the expanded scope of RTOR, its interplay with other OCE initiatives to modernize regulatory review, summarizes Genentech's experiences in planning RTOR submissions from February 2019 to July 2021, and provides considerations for the future of the program.

Abstract	Introduction: Physical activity is important for healthy ageing. Despite strong evidence on the benefits of physical activity for health and well-being, physical inactivity remains a significant problem among older adults. This study aims to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an online volunteer-led group exercise for older adults. Methods: A quasi-experimental mixed-methods approach will be used in this study. A training programme will be developed to train volunteers to deliver online group exercises to older adults aged >65 years (n=30). The primary outcome is the feasibility of implementing the intervention. This will be assessed by the number of volunteers recruited, trained, and retained at the end of the study, and the number of exercise sessions delivered and completed by participants. Secondary outcomes include physical activity levels measured using the Community Health Model Activities Programme for Seniors questionnaire, Barthel Index, EQ-5D-5L as a measure of health-related quality of life, SARC-F to determine sarcopenia status, and PRIMSA-7 to determine frailty status. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and at 6 months.Qualitative interviews will be conducted with volunteers(n=5), older adults (n=10) and family members (n=5) to explore their views on the intervention. Analysis: Simple descriptive statistics will be used to describe participant characteristics, the feasibility of the study and the impact of the intervention on health outcomes. Parametric(t-test) or non-parametric(Mann-Whitney U test) statistics will be used to analyse continuous variables. χ Ethics and dissemination: This study received ethical approval from the University of Southampton Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee and Research Integrity and Governance committee (ID: 52 967 .A1). Study findings will be made available to service users, voluntary organisations and other researchers who may be interested in implementing the intervention. Trial registration number: NCT04672200.

Abstract	Purpose of review: Cannabis may have beneficial anti-inflammatory effects in people with HIV (PWH); however, given this population's high burden of persisting neurocognitive impairment (NCI), clinicians are concerned they may be particularly vulnerable to the deleterious effects of cannabis on cognition. Here, we present a systematic scoping review of clinical and preclinical studies evaluating the effects of cannabinoid exposure on cognition in HIV. Recent findings: Results revealed little evidence to support a harmful impact of cannabis use on cognition in HIV, with few eligible preclinical data existing. Furthermore, the beneficial/harmful effects of cannabis use observed on cognition were function-dependent and confounded by several factors (e.g., age, frequency of use). Results are discussed alongside potential mechanisms of cannabis effects on cognition in HIV (e.g., anti-inflammatory), and considerations are outlined for screening PWH that may benefit from cannabis interventions. We further highlight the value of accelerating research discoveries in this area by utilizing translatable cross-species tasks to facilitate comparisons across human and animal work.
