    Abstract Background: Education, research, and Quality Improvement (QI) are key enablers for high quality care. We aimed to map the capability of Acute Medical Units (AMUs) to facilitate excellence in these areas.
    Methods: AMUs were surveyed in an organisational questionnaire within the Society for Acute Medicine Benchmarking Audit 2021.
    Results: 143 units participated. 80 units had a QI lead, 24 had a research lead and 99 had a medical education lead. 15 units had all three leadership roles. Most QI work considered service structure rather than changes in processes or care outcomes.
    Conclusion: The organisational capability of AMUs in the strategic areas considered is variable. Improving leadership and disseminating learning could help build a strategic foundation for acute medicine to grow.

    Abstract Climate change poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of pregnant women and their developing fetuses. Certain populations are at greater risk of adverse outcomes from air pollution, a contributing factor to climate change. In addition, heightened exposure to extreme heat, a consequence of climate change, exacerbates the existing health care inequities in the United States. Nurses, midwives, and other health care clinicians are uniquely positioned to reduce the harmful effects of climate change by educating pregnant women and their families and advocating for systems and policies that can decelerate climate change. The purpose of this article is to provide resources for clinicians to use in educating pregnant women about the risks of extreme heat and air pollution, their potential effects on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, and strategies to help mitigate risk. We conclude with implications for practice, opportunities for advocacy, and areas for future research.

    Abstract Background: The demands of caring for a child with a life-limiting condition can have a profound impact on parents' health and wellbeing. Currently, there is no standard procedure for identifying and addressing the support needs of these parents.
    Aim: To assess the suitability of the Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT (Paediatric)) for use with parents of children with a life-limiting condition.
    Design: Secondary qualitative content analysis of two qualitative datasets exploring the health, wellbeing and experiences of support of mothers and fathers of children with a life-limiting condition.
    Setting: A total of 30 mothers and 12 fathers were recruited via four UK children's hospices and social media.
    Results: Parental experiences of support mapped onto the existing domains of the CSNAT (Paediatric). One aspect of their experience, surrounding their child's educational needs, went beyond the existing domains of the CSNAT. An adapted version of the tool CSNAT (Paediatric) should include this domain.
    Conclusion: The CSNAT (Paediatric) is a relevant tool for the assessment of parental support needs. Further research should assess the acceptability and feasibility of implementation of the broader intervention: CSNAT-I (Paediatric).

    Abstract Introduction: Patients who present with symptomatic, clinically occult, radiologically evident (SCORE) inguinal hernia represent diagnostic and therapeutic challenge with a wide differential diagnosis of groin pain. Often, diagnosis leads to surgical intervention despite the lack of evidence supporting this practice. This study evaluates patient-reported outcomes following surgical or conservative management of SCORE inguinal hernia.
    Methods: Single-centre retrospective review of radiology database and general surgery outpatient booking system between 2017 and 2018 to identify SCORE hernia patients. Notes review to identify surgical and conservative management groups. Patient-reported outcomes determined using the validated EuraHS-QOL tool. Surveys sent to patients via post with follow-up telephone conversations between October 2019 and June 2020. Replies from the conservative and operative cohorts were compared.
    Results: Total of 76 patients identified. 63 (83%) replies received and analysed (10 did not answer, 2 declined, 1 deceased). 32 in the surgical cohort and 31 in conservative management cohort. No statistically significant difference was there between cohorts in age, BMI, ASA, Charlson Comorbidity Index. No statistically significant difference was there in pain at the site of hernia (p = 0.535); restrictions of activities (p = 0.406); cosmetic discomfort (p = 0.289) in patient-reported outcomes between surgical and conservative cohorts.
    Conclusion: There is no difference in pain, restriction to function or cosmesis in symptomatic clinically occult, radiologically evident inguinal hernia patients following either surgical or conservative management. A clear definition and further studies are essential to deliver better care for this population of patients.

    Abstract Measurements of respiratory properties have often been made at a single time point either during daytime using dark-adapted leaves or during night-time. The influence of the day-night cycle on respiratory metabolism has received less attention but is crucial to understand photosynthesis and photorespiration. Here, we examined how CO2- and O2-based rates of leaf dark respiration (Rdark) differed between midday (after 30-minute dark adaptation) and midnight in eight C3 and C4 grasses. We used these data to calculate the respiratory quotient (RQ; ratio of CO2 release to O2 uptake), and assessed relationships between Rdark and leaf metabolome. Rdark was higher at midday than midnight, especially in C4 species. The day-night difference in Rdark was more evident when expressed on a CO2 than O2 basis, with the RQ being higher at midday than midnight in all species, except in rice (Oryza sativa). Metabolomic analyses showed little correlation of Rdark or RQ with leaf carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose, fructose or starch) but strong multivariate relationships with other metabolites. The results suggest that rates of Rdark and differences in RQ were determined by several concurrent CO2-producing and O2-consuming metabolic pathways, not only the tricarboxylic acid cycle (organic acids utilisation), but also the pentose phosphate pathway, galactose metabolism, and secondary metabolism. As such, Rdark was time-, type- (C3/C4) and species-dependent, due to the use of different substrates.

    Abstract Hypothesis: The forces that govern lipid self-assembly ionic liquids are similar to water, but their different balance can result in unexpected behaviour.
    Experiments: The self-assembly behaviour and phase equilibria of two phospholipids, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), in the most common protic ionic liquid, ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) have been investigated as function of composition and temperature by small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS).
    Findings: Both lipids form unusual self-assembly structures and show complex and unexpected phase behaviour unlike that seen in water; DSPC undergoes a gel L
