    Abstract Total Hip Arthroplasty has been a revolutionary technique in restoring mobility to patients with damaged hip joints. The introduction of modular components of the hip prosthesis allowed for bespoke solutions based on the requirements of the patient. The femoral stem is designed with a conical trunnion to allow for assembly of different femoral head sizes based on surgical requirements. The femoral head diameters for a metal-on-polyethylene hip prosthesis have typically ranged between 22 mm and 36 mm and are typically manufactured using Cobalt-Chromium alloy. A smaller femoral head diameter is associated with lower wear of the polyethylene, however, there is a higher risk of dislocation. In this study, a finite element model of a standard commercial hip arthroplasty prosthesis was modelled with femoral head diameters ranging from 22 mm to 36 mm to investigate the wear evolution and material loss at both contacting surfaces (acetabular cup and femoral stem trunnion). The finite element model, coupled with a validated in-house wear algorithm modelled a human walking for 10 million steps. The results have shown that as the femoral head size increased, the amount of wear on all contacting surfaces increased. As the femoral head diameter increased from 22 mm to 36 mm, the highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) volumetric wear increased by 61% from 98.6 mm

    Abstract As the number of young and active individuals undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) are increasing yearly, there is a need for hip prostheses to have increased longevity. Current investigations into the longevity of these prostheses only include walking as the patient's activity as there is limited data on the amount and intensity of other activity performed by the patient. To further understand the evolution of wear and increase the longevity of these implants, the impact of different activities on the hip prosthesis needs to be investigated. In this study, a finite element model and wear algorithm was developed to simulate both walking and bicycling over a 5-year period. The XLPE acetabular cup volumetric wear rate was found to be 33 mm

    Abstract Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important cereal crop in the temperate climates of western Europe. Root system architecture is a significant contributor to resource capture and plant resilience. However, the impact of soil type on root system architecture (RSA) in field structured soils is yet to be fully assessed. This work studied the development of root growth using deep cultivation (250 mm) during the tillering phase stage (Zadock stage 25) of winter wheat across three soil types. The three sites of contrasting soil types covered a geographical area in the UK and Ireland in October 2018. Root samples were analysed using two methods: X‐ray computed tomography (CT) which provides 3D images of the undisturbed roots in the soil, and a WinRHIZO™ scanner used to generate 2D images of washed roots and to measure further root parameters. Important negative relationships existed between soil bulk density and root properties (root length density, root volume, surface area and length) across the three sites. The results revealed that despite reduced root growth, the clay (Southoe) site had a significantly higher crop yield irrespective of root depth. The loamy sand (Harper Adams) site had significantly higher root volume, surface area and root length density compared with the other sites. However, a reduction in grain yield of 2.42 Mt ha⁻¹ was incurred compared with the clay site and 1.6 Mt ha⁻¹ compared with the clay loam site. The significantly higher rooting characteristics found in the loamy sand site were a result of the significantly lower soil bulk density compared with the other two sites. The loamy sand site had a lower soil bulk density, but no significant difference in macroporosity between sites (p > 0.05). This suggests that soil type and structure directly influence crop yield to greater extent than root parameters, but the interactions between both need simultaneous assessment in field sites.

    Abstract Hip joints with bearings composed of cobalt-chromium alloy (metal-on-metal bearings) have been one of the most widely used implants in joint replacement arthroplasty. Unfortunately, these implants can contribute to a complication called aseptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis-associated lesion (ALVAL), a type IV metal hypersensitivity response around the joint. Consistent with such bearings, increased metal debris can be found in the surrounding fluids and in remote tissues and organs, due to wear and corrosion. It is hypothesized that metal ions released from the prosthesis (including Co2+) can potentially form haptens with proteins such as serum albumin in synovial fluid that in turn elicit ALVAL. Generally, elevated cobalt and chromium levels in synovial fluids may indicate implant failure. However, such measurements cannot be used as a reliable tool to predict the onset of ALVAL. To detect ALVAL, some diagnostic tests, questionnaires and imaging techniques have been used clinically with some success, but a standardized approach is lacking. At present, guidelines for implant usage and patient management are ambiguous and inconsistent across health care authorities. To reduce and better manage the development of ALVAL, further research into the precise molecular mechanism(s) by which ALVAL develops is urgently needed. Identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for ALVAL is required, as are more standardized guidelines for surgery and patient management.

    Abstract Background: Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a novel endoscopic therapy for severe asthma. Traditionally it is performed in three separate treatment sessions, targeting different portions of the lung, and each requires an anaesthetic and hospital admission. Compression of treatment into 2 sessions would present a more convenient alternative for patients. In this prospective observational study, the safety of compressing BT into two treatment sessions was compared with the traditional 3 treatment approach.
    Methods: Sixteen patients meeting ERS/ATS criteria for severe asthma consented to participate in an accelerated treatment schedule (ABT), which treated the whole left lung followed by the right lung four weeks later. The short-term outcomes of these patients were compared with 37 patients treated with conventional BT scheduling (CBT). The outcome measures used to assess safety were (1) the requirement to remain in hospital beyond the electively planned 24-h admission and (2) the need for re-admission for any cause within of 30 days of treatment.
    Results: The total number of radiofrequency activations delivered in the ABT group was similar to CBT (187 ± 21 vs 176 ± 40, p = 0.326). With ABT, 11 in 31 admissions (37.9%) required prolonged admission due to wheezing, compared to 5.4% with CBT (p = 0.0025). The mean hospital length of stay with ABT was 1.8 ± 1.3 days, compared to 1.1 ± 0.4 days (p < 0.001). ICU monitoring was required on 5 occasions with ABT (16.1%), compared to 0.9% with CBT (p = 0.002). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that females were more likely to require prolonged admission (OR 11.6, p = 0.0025). The 30-day hospital readmission rate was similar for both groups (6.4% vs 5.4%, p = 0.67). All patients made a complete recovery after treatment with similar outcomes at the 6-month follow-up reassessment.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrates that ABT results in greater short-term deterioration in lung function associated with a greater risk of prolonged hospital and ICU stay, predominantly affecting females. Therefore, in females, these risks need to be balanced against the convenience of fewer treatment sessions. In males, it may be an advantage to compress treatment.
