    Abstract The discovery of a dual MAO-B/SSAO inhibitor PXS-5131 is reported. The compound offers a compact and rigid three-dimensional structure with superior selectivity over MAO-A. Potency and selectivity are linked to both the double bond geometry and stereochemistry of the allylamine moiety, highlighting the importance of optimal set up of these features in the class of amine oxidase inhibitors. PXS-5131 possesses an attractive preclinical pharmacokinetic profile and has anti-inflammatory properties in models of acute inflammation and neuroinflammation.

    Abstract Background: Severe ocular chemical injury is a potentially devastating condition which most commonly affects men of working age. Workplace injuries previously accounted for the majority of incidents, but there has been a recent increase in assaults involving corrosive substances throughout the UK. The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence and demographics of severe ocular chemical injury and describe current surgical management practices.
    Methods: Cases were prospectively ascertained through the British Ophthalmological Surveillance Unit monthly reporting system during 2019-21. In total, 20 cases involving 29 eyes met the inclusion criteria.
    Results: The reported incidence of severe ocular chemical injury during the pre-pandemic period of the study was 0.24 per million. Cases due to alleged assault have become more common than workplace injuries. A total of 81% patients had persistent complications at 6 months requiring ongoing treatment, and 60% patients required surgical intervention.
    Conclusion: Although there are limitations with the case ascertainment methods, severe ocular chemical injury remains rare within the UK. There has been a proportionate increase in cases related to alleged assault compared with previous similar studies. Amniotic membrane grafting remains the most commonly performed surgical procedure in these patients.

    Abstract Oral fosfomycin is commonly used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) and whilst resistance has been reported in many healthcare facilities in South Africa, the current prevalence remains unknown. This study investigated the prevalence and mechanisms of fosfomycin resistance amongst urinary pathogens in the Western Cape, South Africa. Of the 200 isolates collected during the study period (2019-2020), seven (3.5%) were fosfomycin resistant. Mutations in the

    Abstract Aims: In recent years the genetic aberrations associated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and the new subtype described in the 2008 revision of the WHO classification, 'B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma' have been increasingly well defined. Recurrent genetic abnormalities include rearrangements involving MYC (8q24), BCL2 (18q21) and BCL6 (3q27); as the prognostic and therapeutic implications associated with these abnormalities are clarified their accurate identification at diagnosis is becoming increasingly critical. We describe our experience of using a panel of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) probes on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections in the diagnostic work-up of 162 patients with non-Burkitt high grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (HG-BNHL).
    Methods: BCL6, IGH-BCL2 and MYC status were determined prospectively in sequential patients presenting with HG-BNHL, with respect to the presence of rearrangements and copy number changes. Small numbers of samples were analysed retrospectively or were studied at relapse in previously untested patients.
    Results: FISH analysis was successful in 160/162 (99%) cases, with abnormalities detected in 118/160 (74%).
    Conclusions: FISH analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections is a highly reproducible technique with an excellent success rate for the detection of genetic abnormalities which will play an increasingly important role in improving risk stratification of patients with HG-BNHL.

    Abstract The HUSK projects catalyzed innovation in the practices of providing social services that could yield useful insights both within and outside of Norway if analyzed in these two ways: (a) retrospective analysis of the development of individual HUSK projects in light of their cultural-historical contexts, and (b) comparative analysis of the efforts to advance multi-sector collaboration in some of the HUSK projects. Such analyses require a practice-based research approach that takes into account culture and history. In this article the author explains how cultural-historical activity theory provides such an approach, illustrated via several HUSK cases. The author suggests five questions for future analyses of the HUSK projects and argues that insights gleaned from such analyses could contribute significantly to research on-and the provision of-social services.

    Abstract Background: A sudden, irreversible reduction in visual acuity ('wipe-out') is a feared complication of cataract surgery. Current literature on wipe-out is limited in quantity and quality, and largely predates modern cataract surgery and imaging techniques. The objectives of our study were to estimate the incidence of wipe-out and to identify potential risk factors.
    Methods: We prospectively collated cases of wipe-out occurring in the UK during a 25-month study period using the British Ophthalmic Surveillance Unit reporting system. A total of 21 potential cases of wipe-out were reported, 5 of which met all inclusion and exclusion criteria.
    Results: The estimated incidence of wipe-out during the study period was 0.00000298, or approximately 3 cases per million cataract operations. All cases of wipe-out occurred exclusively in patients with advanced glaucoma (mean deviation -21.0 decibels or worse in the operated eye), with an over-representation of black people (40%) in our case series. A prior diagnosis of retinal vein occlusion (60%) and elevated post-operative IOP (40%) were more common among individuals suffering from wipe-out compared to the general population, suggesting these factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of wipe-out.
    Conclusions: Our study shows that wipe-out is a rare complication, affecting approximately 3 per million undergoing cataract surgery. Patients with advanced glaucoma, black patients, and those with previous retinal vein occlusions may be at greater risk of wipe-out. We hope that the findings of our study will be used to help inform treatment decision-making and the cataract surgery consent process.

    Abstract Purpose: The aims of this study were to quantify the incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) in the United Kingdom and investigate risk factors and management parameters.
    Methods: This was a prospective population-based study from January to December 2015 through the British Ophthalmic Surveillance Unit. Data were collected on demographics, clinical features, and management. Incidence rates were calculated from estimates of population and contact lens (CL) user numbers. Statistical analysis compared annualized incidences per million and altered risk ratios for AK with the England and Wales 24 months 1997/1998 to 1998/1999 study.
    Results: The study identified 124 AK cases, an overall incidence of 2.35 per million. CL wearers accounted for 108 of 124 cases (87%), in whom the AK incidence was 26.94 per million. Herpes keratitis was initially misdiagnosed in 25 of 124 cases (20.2%). The highest incidence of AK was among planned replacement soft CL (PRSCL) wearers (50.65 per million), 7-fold greater than for daily disposable CL (DDSCL) users (7.24 per million). There was a significant increase in AK incidence ( P < 0.001) compared with both 1997/1998 [risk ratio 1.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.38-2.66] and 1998/1999 (risk ratio 2.13, 95% CI 1.52-2.98) together with a higher incidence per million CL users of 26.94 versus 21.14 (1997/1998) and 17.53 (1998/1999).
    Conclusions: This study provides the first published data on the nationwide incidence of AK in the United Kingdom. The findings confirm an increasing incidence of AK, particularly among contact lens wearers since 1997/1998 to 1998/1999. PRSCLs were identified as a significant risk factor compared with DDSCLs. Misdiagnosis and treatment delays remain an ongoing problem for patients with AK.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to estimate how ongoing stimulant use affects return to illicit opioid use after initiation onto medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD).
    Design: This was a secondary analysis of pooled data from two clinical trials comparing buprenorphine (BUP-NX) and extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX).
    Setting: Thirteen opioid treatment programs and HIV clinics across 10 states in the United States from 2014 to 2019 took part in this study.
    Participants: A total of 528 participants who initiated MOUD as part of trial participation were included. Nearly half (49%) were between 30 and 49 years of age, 69% were male and 66% were non-Hispanic White.
    Measurements: The primary outcome was first self-reported day of non-prescribed opioid use following MOUD initiation, and the exposure of interest was daily stimulant use (methamphetamine, amphetamines or cocaine). Both were defined using time-line follow-back. Among participants reporting at least 1 day of illicit opioid use, we also examined relapse to ongoing use, defined as (1) 7 days of continuous opioid use or (2) 4 consecutive weeks with self-reported opioid use, one or more positive urine drug screens (UDS) for opioids or one or more missing UDS.
    Findings: Forty-seven per cent of participants reported stimulant use following MOUD initiation, 58% returned to illicit opioid use and 66% of those relapsed to ongoing use. Stimulant use was strongly associated with increased risk of misusing opioids after MOUD initiation when measured daily [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 9.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 6.80-12.50, P < 0.001] and over a 7-day period (aHR = 1.27 for each additional day, CI = 1.18-1.37, P < 0.001). Using stimulants weekly or more often was associated with increased likelihood of relapse to ongoing opioid use compared with less than weekly or no stimulant use (adjusted odds ratio = 2.30, CI = 1.05-5.39, P = 0.044).
    Conclusions: People initiated on medication for opioid use disorder who subsequently use stimulants appear to be more likely to return to and continue using non-prescribed opioids compared with those without stimulant use. The association appears to be stronger among patients who initiate buprenorphine compared with those who initiate extended-release naltrexone.
