    Abstract Multilayered liposome (MLV) formation from water/organic-solvent (W/O) emulsions was studied. A fundamental liposome population parameter, the E(ratio), was defined and used to estimate the bilayer number and water spacing in MLV liposomes. MLVs prepared from W/O emulsions have optimum drug entrapment at an emulsion-lipid/emulsion-water ratio of ∼0.33. Drug entrapment is typically 50 to 65% under these optimal conditions.

    Abstract The ordinary Fano effect occurs in many-electron atoms and requires an autoionizing state. With such a state, photo-ionization may proceed via pathways that interfere, and the characteristic asymmetric resonance structures appear in the continuum. Here we demonstrate that Fano structure may also be induced without need of auto-ionization, by dressing the continuum with an ordinary bound state in any atom by a coupling laser. Using multi-photon processes gives complete, ultra-fast control over the interference. We show that a line-shape index q near unity (maximum asymmetry) may be produced in hydrogenic silicon donors with a relatively weak beam. Since the Fano lineshape has both constructive and destructive interference, the laser control opens the possibility of state-selective detection with enhancement on one side of resonance and invisibility on the other. We discuss a variety of atomic and molecular spectroscopies, and in the case of silicon donors we provide a calculation for a qubit readout application.

    Abstract Introduction: Huntington disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterised by motor, cognitive and behavioural dysfunction, and has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. As there is currently no treatment to delay progression of the disease, pharmacological intervention is aimed at symptomatic relief.
    Methods: We set out to assess the current evidence on the pharmacological treatment of motor and non-motor symptoms in HD by carrying out a systematic literature review across five large scientific databases.
    Results: The search generated 23 original studies meeting our search criteria. Studies on the following drug classes were obtained: dopamine (DA) depleting agents, neuroleptics, anti-glutamatergic agents, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, GABA agonists, cannabinoids, antidepressants and potential neuroprotective agents. Tetrabenazine (TBZ), a DA depleting agent, was the only pharmacotherapy shown to have a clinically meaningful, statistically significant effect on chorea. The majority of the reviewed studies focussed on the treatment of motor symptoms of HD.
    Discussion: Overall, the evidence base for the pharmacological management of HD is poor. There is a clear need for future high quality randomised controlled trials on the symptomatic treatment of HD, particularly on the pharmacotherapy of non-motor symptoms of HD.

    Abstract The studies discussed demonstrate the importance of developing rapid methods to purify membrane proteins and also quantitate binding events between cell membranes and biomolecules. Traditional equilibrium methods are experimentally very difficult because of long equilibration times, peptide aggregation, and the need to make several measurements to obtain a single binding constant. We are developing chromatographic methods to measure binding constants between membranes and biomolecules by using solid phase membrane mimetics. Solid phase binding assays are well established for reactions that typically occur in solution, whereas for reactions that require a membrane environment, no solid phase assay exists. Solid phase membrane mimetics have the potential of filling this gap.

    Abstract Acute subdural haematoma (ASDH) is one of the conditions most strongly associated with severe brain injury. Reports prior to 1980 describe overall mortality rates for acute subdural haematomas (SDH's) ranging from 40% to 90% with poor outcomes observed in all age groups. Recently, improved results have been reported with rapid diagnosis and surgical treatment. The elderly are predisposed to bleeding due to normal cerebral atrophy related to aging, stretching the bridging veins from the dura. Prognosis in ASDH is associated with age, time from injury to treatment, presence of pupillary abnormalities, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) or motor score on admission, immediate coma or lucid interval, computerized tomography findings (haematoma volume, degree of midline shift, associated intradural lesion, compression of basal cisterns), post-operative intracranial pressure and type of surgery. Advancing age is known to be a determinant of outcome in head injury. We present the results of a retrospective study carried out in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Ireland's national neurosurgical centre. The aim of our study was to examine the impact of age on outcome in patients with ASDH following severe head injury. Only cases with acute subdural haematoma requiring surgical evacuation were recruited. Mortality was significantly higher in older patients (50% above 70 years, 25.6% between 40 and 70 years and 26% below 40 years). Overall poor outcome (defined as Glasgow outcome scores 3-5) was also higher in older patients; 74.1% above 70 years, 48% between 40 and 70 years and 30% below 40 years. Poor outcome in traumatic acute subdural haematoma is higher in elderly patients even after surgical intervention.

    Abstract Background and Purposes: The wrist is the fourth most common joint to be involved in juvenile inflammatory arthritis (JIA), which is a common rheumatological condition affecting children. Wrist arthroscopy is well established in rheumatoid arthritis, but remains unexplored in JIA. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of wrist arthroscopy in JIA, with focus on those who are refractory to medical management.
    Methods: This is a prospective observational study, including consecutive patients with JIA undergoing arthroscopy between January 2016 and December 2020. Those over the age of 18 years and those with other rheumatological diagnoses were excluded. Data including pre-, intra-, and postoperative variables, demographics, and patient-reported outcomes were collated and are reported using standard measures.
    Results: A total of 15 patients underwent arthroscopy ( n  = 20 wrists). Synovitis was noted in all wrists on arthroscopy and synovectomy was performed in all cases. Other procedures were performed as indicated during the procedure. The median follow-up duration was 11.3 (interquartile range [IQR] 8.1–24.2) months. Median reduction of 4 (IQR 2.25–6) points on the Visual Analogue Score for pain on loading was noted postoperatively. Grip strength was improved in n  = 11/20 wrists and functional improvement was noted in n  = 18/20 wrists. Restriction of range of motion was achieved with a shrinkage procedure in patients with hypermobile joints. There were no postoperative complications, and no patients were lost to follow-up.
    Conclusion: In experienced hands, wrist arthroscopy is feasible, safe, and efficacious in the management of JIA, among patients who are refractory to medical management.
    Level of Evidence: This is a Level II study.
