Abstract	Background: Organ transplant lay caregivers perform an essential and complex role, but there is a paucity of comprehensive, accessible education regarding transplant caregiving. We sought to create a broad, multifaceted educational toolkit for transplant caregivers. Given the complexities of this population, we report on lessons learned by organising diverse stakeholder engagement to develop an educational resource covering the breadth and depth of organ transplantation. Approach: Following a call from organ transplant patients and caregivers, the American Society of Transplantation (AST) formed an Organ Transplant Caregiver Initiative with the aim to develop a comprehensive educational toolkit for transplant caregivers. The AST Organ Transplant Caregiver Toolkit was created through a shared, multi-step process involving transplant professionals and caregivers, who formed an education subcommittee to develop and refine content domains. The caregiver toolkit was reviewed with relevant external stakeholders and through an internal organisational review process. Evaluation: Lessons learned included seeking guidance from others with experience creating similar resources, flexibility in project development, creativity in engaging stakeholders and routine communication between all entities involved. Insights gained contributed to the caregiver toolkit completion despite project challenges. Implications: The AST Organ Transplant Caregiver Toolkit can be utilised by health care professionals to educate and counsel transplant patients and caregivers. Lessons learned from the development of the caregiver toolkit can provide guidance to health care professionals and clinical teachers for the development of future education resources.

Abstract	Background: Advanced vessel sealing electrosurgical systems have been widely adopted for grasping, cutting, and sealing vessels. Data remain sparse with regard to its use in thoracic procedures. Thus, a prospective case series, utilizing the ENSEAL X1 Curved Jaw Tissue Sealer (X1CJ) and its companion energy source, the Generator 11 (GEN11), in thoracic procedures was performed in a Japanese cohort. Methods: Subjects were recruited at two Japanese surgical sites. The primary endpoint of this post-market study was the achievement of hemostasis (≤ Grade 3) for each thoracic vessel transection. Performance endpoints included scores for tasks completed with X1CJ (adhesiolysis, lymphatics or tissue bundles divided, tissue grasping, tissue cutting, or tissue dissection); hemostasis grading vessel transected; additional products required to achieve hemostasis for Grade 4 vessel transections. Safety was evaluated by evaluating device-related adverse events. All endpoint data were summarized. Results: Forty subjects (50.0% female) of Asian ethnicity with a mean age of 67.6 ± 11.3 years underwent a lung resection. Estimated mean blood loss was 39.5 mL. Hemostasis was achieved in 97.5% of vessel transections. Thirty-seven vessel sealings resulted in a hemostatic Grade 1 (92.5%). All surgeons reported satisfaction/neutral in terms of tissue grasping (100.0%) while most reported satisfaction/neutral with tissue cutting (95.7%). One device-related serious adverse event was reported (2.5%), a chylothorax requiring an extension of hospitalization. There was no post-operative bleeding or deaths reported during the study period. Conclusion: The X1CJ demonstrated safe and effective performance without any reports of significant intra-operative or post-operative hemorrhage in thoracic vessel sealing.

Abstract	Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA) is a rare and aggressive tumor arising from the eccrine sweat glands. It is found on the hands and feet and most commonly occurs on the volar and distal finger tips. In this report, we describe a DPA in a 45-year-old woman who presented with a slowly enlarging mass on the dorsal aspect of her proximal ring finger. This report shows that DPA may clinically present as a relatively benign-appearing mass and in an atypical location. Surgical excision, followed by histologic and immunohistochemical evaluations of even benign-appearing digital masses, is important because this is the only way a DPA can be diagnosed.

Abstract	The genus Phragmites includes taxa that are very difficult to distinguish macroscopically, and even genetically. To better discriminate these taxa, microscopic traits, such as the epidermis of floral bracts and leaves, and leaf anatomy, were investigated. In the Old World, four distinct giant reeds species (> 3m) were delineated: two tropical species, P. karka and P. mauritianus, and two Mediterranean species, P. altissimus and P. frutescens. Previously included within P. australis sensu lato, the rehabilitation of P. altissimus and P. frutescens is supported by relevant distinctive characteristics. Conversely, the small reeds (< 3m) from temperate to cold regions form a distinct group. Although this group is still difficult to subdivide with epidermis traits, three taxa can be separated using leaf anatomy: both the Afro-European and the Australian-E. Asian P. australis sensu stricto, and P. japonicus. Using iodine green solution, we link our morphological analyses with previous genetic clustering, the green coloration of floral bracts and margin leaf teeth matches with the presence of nuclear waxy gene bands in P. frutescens and P. mauritianus (100bp), and P. altissimus (200bp), while P. karka, P. australis subsp. australis and P. japonicus have no coloration nor waxy band. While leaf anatomy features seem to be correlated with eco-climatic conditions, the epidermal traits delimited other clades. For leaf epidermis P. karka, P. mauritianus, and P. frutescens present the more ancestral characters, whereas P. australis, P. japonicus, and P. altissimus possess derived traits. Lastly, floral bract epidermis traits separate two divergent evolutionary lineages from the basal P. karka.

Abstract	The Enemy Release Hypothesis (ERH) predicts that introduced plant species can escape herbivory and therefore have a competitive advantage over native plants, which are exposed to both generalist and specialist natural enemies. In this study, the ERH was explored using the invasive alien species, Arundo donax and two native tall-statured grasses, the cosmopolitan Phragmites australis and African endemic Phragmites mauritianus in South Africa. It was predicted that A. donax would have reduced species richness of herbivores compared with the native Phragmites spp., that it would be devoid of specialist herbivores and would thus be experiencing enemy escape in the adventive range. The herbivore assemblages were determined from both field surveys and a literature review. The assumptions of the ERH were for the most part not met; 13 herbivores were found on A. donax compared with 17 on P. australis and 20 on P. mauritianus. Arundo donax had two specialist herbivores from its native range, and shared native herbivores with Phragmites spp. Although A. donax had reduced species richness and diversity compared with that found in the native distribution, it has partially re-acquired a herbivore assemblage which is similar to that found on analogous native species. This suggests that enemy release may not fully explain the invasive success of A. donax in South Africa.

Abstract	Historically, invasive alien grasses have not been considered a major threat in South Africa, and as a result, very few resources are allocated to their management. However, there is an increasing awareness of the severe environmental and socio-economic impacts of invasive grasses and the need for appropriate management options for their control. South Africa has a long history of successfully implementing weed biological control (biocontrol) to manage invasive alien plants, however much like the rest of the world, invasive grasses do not feature prominently as targets for biocontrol. The implementation and early indicators of success of the few grass biocontrol programmes globally and the finding that grasses can be suitable targets, suggests that biocontrol could start to play an important role in managing invasive alien grasses in South Africa. In this paper, we evaluated the prospects for implementing novel grass biocontrol projects over the next ten years against 48 grasses that have been determined to represent the highest risk based on their current environmental and economic impacts. The grasses were ranked in order of priority using the Biological Control Target Selection system. Five grasses were prioritised – Arundo donax L., Cortaderia jubata (Lem.) Stapf, Cortaderia selloana (Schult & Schult) Asch. & Graebn., Nassella trichotoma (Hack. ex Arech.), and Glyceria maxima (Hartm.) Holmb., based on attributes that make them suitable biocontrol targets. Arundo donax has already been the target of a biocontrol programme in South Africa. We reviewed the progress made towards the biocontrol of this species and discuss how this programme could be developed going forward. Moreover, we outline how biocontrol could be implemented to manage the remaining four high-priority targets. While biocontrol of grasses is not without its challenges (e.g. unresolved taxonomies, conflicts of interest and a lack of supporting legislation), South Africa has an opportunity to learn from existing global research and begin to invest in biocontrol of high-priority species that are in most need of control.

Abstract	Biological control is an effective and sustainable method for management of invasive alien plants (IAPs), and has been implemented on 68 of the 367 plant species that are listed as legally requiring management strategies under South Africa’s National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (10/2004): Alien and Invasive Species Regulations. With limited resources and funding available, it can realistically only be considered for a subset of the remaining alien plants for which biocontrol has not yet been implemented. Considerable funding has been allocated towards biocontrol in South African in the past, principally through the Working for Water Programme of the Nature Resource Management Programmes (Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries), and this support is expected to continue with the intention of increasing the number of IAPs under this management approach in the future. To ensure appropriate targets are selected, the Biological Control Target Selection (BCTS) system was applied to the alien plants on this list that are not under biocontrol (299 species). This paper presents the resultant list of top priority species that represent good investments for biocontrol when funds are available.

Abstract	Eutrophication contributes to the proliferation of alien invasive weed species such as water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes . Although the South American moth Niphograpta albiguttalis was released in South Africa in 1990 as a biological control agent against water hyacinth, no post-release evaluations have yet been conducted here. The impact of N. albiguttalis on water hyacinth growth was quantified under low-, medium- and high-nutrient concentrations in a greenhouse experiment. Niphograpta albiguttalis was damaging to water hyacinth in all three nutrient treatments, but significant damage in most plant parameters was found only under high-nutrient treatments. However, E. crassipes plants grown in high-nutrient water were healthier, and presumably had higher fitness, than plants not exposed to herbivory at lower-nutrient levels. Niphograpta albiguttalis is likely to be most damaging to water hyacinth in eutrophic water systems, but the damage will not result in acceptable levels of control because of the plant's high productivity under these conditions. Niphograpta albiguttalis is a suitable agent for controlling water hyacinth infestations in eutrophic water systems, but should be used in combination with other biological control agents and included in an integrated management plan also involving herbicidal control and water quality management.
