    Abstract Background: Self-management is a key component of successful chronic kidney disease (CKD) management. Here, we present the findings from the internal pilot of a multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to test the effect of a digital self-management programme ('My Kidneys & Me' (MK&M)).
    Methods: Participants (aged ≥18 years and CKD stages 3-4) were recruited from hospital kidney services across England. Study processes were completed virtually. Participants were randomised 2:1 to either intervention (MK&M) or control group. The first 60 participants recruited were included in a 10-week internal pilot which assessed study feasibility and acceptability against pre-specified progression criteria: 1) eligibility and recruitment, acceptability of 2) randomisation and 3) outcomes, 4) MK&M activation, and 5) retention and attrition rates. Semi-structured interviews further explored views on trial participation.
    Results: Of the 60 participants recruited, 41 were randomised to MK&M and 19 to control. All participants completed baseline measures and 62% (n=37) completed post-intervention outcome measures. All progression criteria met the minimum thresholds to proceed. Nine participants were interviewed. The themes identified were satisfaction with study recruitment processes (openness to participate, reading and agreeing to "terms and conditions"), acceptability of study design (remote study participation, acceptability of randomisation, completion of online assessment(s)), and methods to improve recruitment and retention (personalised approach, follow-up communication).
    Conclusion: This internal pilot demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of a virtually run RCT. Progression criteria thresholds to proceed to the definitive RCT were met. Areas for improvement were identified and protocol amendments were made to improve trial delivery.

    Abstract Background: The updated European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) recommends handgrip strength (HGS) and the chair stand test (CST) to assess muscle strength, with the CST being a convenient proxy for lower limb strength. However, adiposity may differentially influence these strength criteria and produce discrepant sarcopenia prevalence.
    Objective: To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia using HGS or the CST, and to investigate the associations between these strength criteria and adiposity in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
    Methods: The EWGSOP2 definition was used to assess the prevalence of probable (low muscle strength), confirmed (plus low muscle mass) and severe (plus poor physical performance) sarcopenia. Linear regression models were used to study the association between different measures of muscle strength and adiposity.
    Results: We used data from 732 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (35.7% female, aged 64 ± 8 years, body mass index 30.7 ± 5.0 kg/m2). Using the CST compared with HGS produced a higher prevalence of probable (31.7% vs. 7.1%), confirmed (5.6% vs. 1.6%) and severe (1.0% vs. 0.3%) sarcopenia, with poor agreement between strength criteria to identify probable sarcopenia. CST performance, but not HGS, was significantly associated with all measures of adiposity in unadjusted and adjusted models.
    Conclusions: Higher levels of adiposity may impact CST performance, but not HGS, resulting in a higher prevalence of sarcopenia in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Consideration should be paid to the most appropriate measure of muscle function in this population.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that results in long-term hyperglycemia. Among the many long-term complications associated with diabetes, manifestations in the hand include Dupuytren's contracture, trigger finger, compressive neuropathies, and infections. These conditions can have a profound impact on a patient's quality of life, highlighting the importance of timely recognition and treatment of these manifestations. This review aims to provide updated information regarding the incidence and outcomes of these clinical manifestations in the diabetic versus nondiabetic population. A systematic review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was performed. The literature search included the use of PubMed and Ovid databases to find relevant articles that were then selected based on an inclusion criterion that required level 4 evidence. Diabetes mellitus results in an increased incidence of Dupuytren's contracture, trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and hand infections. Dupuytren's, trigger finger, and carpal tunnel syndrome all had similar outcomes, while diabetic patients had worse outcomes related to infections. There was a lack of data regarding the effect of diabetes on cubital tunnel syndrome. Future studies should be performed to analyze the effects of diabetes mellitus on hand manifestations, particularly regarding the outcomes of diabetic patients with cubital tunnel syndrome.

    Abstract Background: Cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB, Psylliodes chrysocephala L.) is a major pest of oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus L.) in the UK and low availability of effective chemical control has increased the need for integrated pest management approaches. The risk of OSR to lodging is strongly related to stem strength, however, the impact of CSFB larval tunnelling on stem strength and subsequent risk to stem lodging is unknown. The study investigated this by applying the Generalised Crop Lodging Model to conventionally grown OSR crops scored for varying levels of CSFB larval tunnelling. Lodging risk mitigation strategies including plant growth regulators (PGR) and varying nitrogen regimes were tested under high CSFB larval pressure.
    Results: Stems of OSR plants were categorised by the proportion of visual damage (< 5%; 5-25%; 26-50%; 51-75%; 75-100%). Stems of 26-50% damage had significantly lower breaking strengths and diameters compared to plants that scored < 5%, with the associated reduction in stem failure windspeed equivalent to an order of magnitude increase in the risk of a lodging event occurring in the UK. PGR use reduced plant height and subsequently lodging risk variably across the sites.
    Conclusion: Estimating the proportion of stem tunnelling alongside larval pressure may be a useful tool in considering the contribution of CSFB pressure to lodging risk. The research demonstrates that the use of canopy management principles to optimise canopy size through nitrogen management and PGR use may help offset increased lodging risk caused by CSFB tunnelling. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract Introduction: The GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) 2023 guidelines proposed important changes to the stratification of disease severity using the "ABCD" assessment tool. The highest risk groups "C" and "D" were combined into a single category "E" based on exacerbation history, no longer considering symptomology.
    Purpose: We quantify the differential disease progression of individuals initially stratified by the GOLD 2022 "ABCD" scheme to evaluate these proposed changes.
    Patients and methods: We utilise data collected from 1529 users of the myCOPD mobile app, a widely used and clinically validated app supporting people living with COPD in the UK. For patients in each GOLD group, we quantify symptoms using COPD Assessment Tests (CAT) and rate of exacerbation over a 12-month period post classification.
    Results: CAT scores for users initially classified into GOLD C and GOLD D remain significantly different after 12 months (Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic = 0.59, P = 8.2 × 10
    Conclusion: CAT scores remain important for stratifying disease progression both in-terms of symptomology and future exacerbation risk. Based on this evidence, the merger of GOLD C and GOLD D should be reconsidered.
