    Abstract Objective: To determine research priorities in advanced heart failure (HF) for patients, carers and healthcare professionals.
    Methods: Priority setting partnership using the systematic James Lind Alliance method for ranking and setting research priorities. An initial open survey of patients, carers and healthcare professionals identified respondents' questions, which were categorised to produce a list of summary research questions; questions already answered in existing literature were removed. In a second survey of patients, carers and healthcare professionals, respondents ranked the summary research questions in order of priority. The top 25 unanswered research priorities were then considered at a face-to-face workshop using nominal group technique to agree on a 'top 10'.
    Results: 192 respondents submitted 489 responses each containing one or more research uncertainty. Out-of-scope questions (35) were removed, and collating the responses produced 80 summary questions. Questions already answered in the literature (15) were removed. In the second survey, 65 questions were ranked by 128 respondents. The top 10 priorities were developed at a consensus meeting of stakeholders and included a focus on quality of life, psychological support, the impact on carers, role of the charity sector and managing prognostic uncertainty. Ranked priorities by physicians and patients were remarkably divergent.
    Conclusions: Engaging stakeholders in setting research priorities led to a novel set of research questions that might not have otherwise been considered. These priorities can be used by researchers and funders to direct future research towards the areas which matter most to people living with advanced HF.

    Abstract Knowledge of the diversity and ecological function of the microbial consortia of James River in Virginia, USA, is essential to developing a more complete understanding of the ecology of this model river system. Metagenomic analysis of James River's planktonic microbial community was performed for the first time using an unamplified genomic library and a 16S rDNA amplicon library prepared and sequenced by Ion PGM and MiSeq, respectively. From the 0.46-Gb WGS library (GenBank:SRR1146621; MG-RAST:4532156.3), 4 × 10(6) reads revealed >3 × 10(6) genes, 240 families of prokaryotes, and 155 families of eukaryotes. From the 0.68-Gb 16S library (GenBank:SRR2124995; MG-RAST:4631271.3; EMB:2184), 4 × 10(6) reads revealed 259 families of eubacteria. Results of the WGS and 16S analyses were highly consistent and indicated that more than half of the bacterial sequences were Proteobacteria, predominantly Comamonadaceae. The most numerous genera in this group were Acidovorax (including iron oxidizers, nitrotolulene degraders, and plant pathogens), which accounted for 10 % of assigned bacterial reads. Polaromonas were another 6 % of all bacterial reads, with many assignments to groups capable of degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Albidiferax (iron reducers) and Variovorax (biodegraders of a variety of natural biogenic compounds as well as anthropogenic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and endocrine disruptors) each accounted for an additional 3 % of bacterial reads. Comparison of these data to other publically-available aquatic metagenomes revealed that this stretch of James River is highly similar to the upper Mississippi River, and that these river systems are more similar to aquaculture and sludge ecosystems than they are to lakes or to a pristine section of the upper Amazon River. Taken together, these analyses exposed previously unknown aspects of microbial biodiversity, documented the ecological responses of microbes to urban effects, and revealed the noteworthy presence of 22 human-pathogenic bacterial genera (e.g., Enterobacteriaceae, pathogenic Pseudomonadaceae, and 'Vibrionales') and 6 pathogenic eukaryotic genera (e.g., Trypanosomatidae and Vahlkampfiidae). This information about pathogen diversity may be used to promote human epidemiological studies, enhance existing water quality monitoring efforts, and increase awareness of the possible health risks associated with recreational use of James River.

    Abstract C. L. R. James (1901-1989), one of the most important intellectuals of the twentieth century, expressed his postcolonial and socialist philosophies in fiction, speeches, essays, and book-length scholarly discourses. However, the majority of academic attention given to James keeps the diverse mediums of James's writing separate, focuses on his work as a political theorist, and subordinates his role as a fiction writer.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this project was to evaluate risk factors for diabetic retinopathy in the Cree population of James Bay, Ontario.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort design was employed. The cohort was made up of all known individuals who had previously been diagnosed with diabetes in the communities of Moose Factory and Moosonee, Ontario. Hypertension, body-mass index, serum lipid levels, renal function status, and hemoglobin A1C were the main exposures of interest. Values for these variables were determined from a retrospective chart review and were sought for each individual for a five-year interval beginning one year following the diagnosis of diabetes. Relative risks for the association of these variables with diabetic retinopathy were determined through both univariate and multivariate Poisson regression. The main outcome of interest in this study was the presence or absence of any diabetic retinopathy in either eye, as determined by a retinal specialist.
    Results: Significant univariate risks for the development of retinopathy included duration of diabetes, body-mass index, hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood glucose, insulin treatment, and serum cholesterol levels. In multivariate analyses, predictors of diabetic retinopathy included body-mass index, insulin treatment, and serum cholesterol levels. An increase in body-mass index reduced the risk of diabetic retinopathy (Relative Risk [RR] 0.64 per five kg/m( 2), 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.04 to 1.00). Insulin therapy was associated with an increased risk of retinopathy when compared to individuals on dietary therapy alone (Relative Risk [RR] 4.71, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.16 to 19.16). For individuals with serum cholesterol levels above the average for the cohort, 5.2 mmol/L, the risk of retinopathy was increased (Relative Risk [RR] 2.38, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.98 to 5.79).
    Interpretation: Elevated serum cholesterol, lower body-mass index and insulin treatment were all associated with an increased risk of diabetic retinopathy in the Cree of James Bay, Ontario.

    Abstract Diabetes prevalence and general demographic data for individuals with diabetes were evaluated in the Cree of Moose Factory, Ontario. Individuals with diabetes were identified through a retrospective review of the diabetes registry as well as of outpatient and inpatient records. The crude prevalence of diabetes was 62 (95% confidence interval: 54 72) per 1,000. The direct age-standardized prevalence of diabetes was 103 per 1,000 for the entire population (95% confidence interval: 89 118 per 1,000, standardized to the 1991 Canadian population). The estimated rate of diabetes in the Canadian population is approximately 5%. The average age of individuals with diabetes in the community was 53 years; the average duration of diabetes was 8.2 years. Most of the population with diabetes were female (64 %) and were using anti-hypertensive medications (64%). This study presents diabetes prevalence data for the population of Moose Factory, Ontario, that indicate a higher prevalence than in both the Canadian population and other Cree populations in the region.
