    Abstract Boron carbide is a material proposed as an alternative to graphite for use as an energy degrader in proton therapy facilities, and is favoured due to its mechanical robustness and promise to give lower lateral scattering for a given energy loss. However, the mean excitation energy of boron carbide has not yet been directly measured. Here we present a simple method to determine the mean excitation energy by comparison with the relative stopping power in a water phantom, and from a comparison between experimental data and simulations we derive a value for it of 83.1 ± 2.8 eV suitable for use in Monte-Carlo simulation. This is consistent with the existing ICRU estimate (84.7 eV with 10-15% uncertainty) that is based on indirect Bragg additivity calculation, but it has a substantially smaller uncertainty. The method described can be readily applied to predict the ionisation loss of other boron carbide materials in which the atomic constituent ratio may vary, and allows this material to be reliably used as an alternative to graphite, diamond or beryllium.

    Abstract Background: Bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) is a chronic and potentially very disabling condition. The impact of the vestibular loss on quality of life (QoL) is variable and still up for discussion. However, previous studies have reported that BVP has a negative impact of QoL.
    Aims/objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and saccade pattern and patient reported QoL.
    Materials and methods: Ten patients fulfilling the Bárány criteria of BVP were included in the study. All patients underwent vestibular evaluation using Head Impulse Paradigm (HIMP) and Suppression Head Impulse Paradigm (SHIMP) and responded to Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). DHI was used as a measurement for QoL.
    Results: Linear regression revealed a tendency to a correlation between lateral VOR-gain measured by HIMP or SHIMP and total DHI score. Covert saccades were related to low total DHI scores. No association was found between type of SHIMP saccade and QoL. No significant correlations were found.
    Conclusion and significance: A tendency was found towards a relationship between lateral VOR-gain by HIMP or SHIMP and total DHI score. The study also indicates that covert saccades are related to low impact on QoL.

    Abstract Reform of medical education in Vienna in the early 19th century led to bodies of patients who had died being used as obstetric simulators. It was unpleasant, but it was thought that learning on a cadaver simulator would be superior to learning on phantoms (artificial simulators). Unfortunately, the change was associated with a significant increase in maternal mortality from puerperal fever and thousands of women died before Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis recognized that the condition was transmitted from the cadaver to the parturient and could be prevented by careful hand washing. A hundred fifty years later, the spread of infection on the hands of health care professionals is still a cause for concern. The apparently simple skill of cleaning hands and adherence to hand hygiene guidelines should be included in scenarios. We also need to make sure that current simulation-based training does not have unwanted consequences.

    Abstract Background: Advanced age is considered by many to be a relative contraindication to breast reconstruction. However, despite increased medical comorbidities and a perception that elderly patients are less concerned with body image, more women older than 70 years are choosing to undergo breast reconstruction. There is a paucity of data to guide reconstructive decision-making and counseling in this population.
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction, complication rates, and long-term outcomes in women older than 70 years undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction.
    Methods: A total of 400 patients were identified at the authors' institution and divided into 2 groups: ≥70 and <70 years old. Medical comorbidities, surgical outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes as defined by the BREAST-Q were compared using the χ2 tests for categorical variables and t tests for continuous variables.
    Results: The cohort of patients older than 70 years was made up of 25 women, with a mean age of 73 years, and the cohort of patients younger than 70 years was made up of 375 women, with a mean age of 50 years. There was no significant difference in body mass index (P = 0.373), smoking status (P = 0.360), or history of prior ipsilateral radiation (P = 0.508) between the 2 cohorts; however, the elderly cohort was significantly more likely to have diabetes (P = 0.026). Although elderly patients were less likely to undergo bilateral mastectomy (P < 0.001), there was no significant difference in the type of mastectomy, pathological diagnosis, or method of reconstruction. There was no significant difference in complication rates when looking at minor infection (P = 0.553) or major infection (P = 0.553). The 2 groups were equally likely to undergo secondary procedures (P = 0.192). Overall satisfaction rates were high in all BREAST-Q categories in the elderly group and not significantly different when compared with the group of patients younger than 70 years. Matched-pair analysis showed a significant difference with the group of patients older than 70 years having higher levels physical well-being (P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Immediate breast reconstruction can be performed safely and with similar high satisfaction rates in the elderly population as their younger counterparts. Age alone should not be used as a reason for excluding women from these life-changing operations.

    Abstract Background: Rapid and accurate pathogen identification is required for disease management. Compared to sequencing entire genomes, targeted sequencing may be used to direct sequencing resources to genes of interest for microbe identification and mitigate the low resolution that single-locus molecular identification provides. This work describes a broad-spectrum fungal identification tool developed to focus high-throughput Nanopore sequencing on genes commonly employed for disease diagnostics and phylogenetic inference.
    Results: Orthologs of targeted genes were extracted from 386 reference genomes of fungal species spanning six phyla to identify homologous regions that were used to design the baits used for enrichment. To reduce the cost of producing probes without diminishing the phylogenetic power, DNA sequences were first clustered, and then consensus sequences within each cluster were identified to produce 26,000 probes that targeted 114 genes. To test the efficacy of our probes, we applied the technique to three species representing Ascomycota and Basidiomycota fungi. The efficiency of enrichment, quantified as mean target coverage over the mean genome-wide coverage, ranged from 200 to 300. Furthermore, enrichment of long reads increased the depth of coverage across the targeted genes and into non-coding flanking sequence. The assemblies generated from enriched samples provided well-resolved phylogenetic trees for taxonomic assignment and molecular identification.
    Conclusions: Our work provides data to support the utility of targeted Nanopore sequencing for fungal identification and provides a platform that may be extended for use with other phytopathogens.
