Abstract	Introduction: This study assessed the prevalence and associations of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction in electrical utility workers, with the aim of applying the findings to better prevent and rehabilitate workplace musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: Employees completed an online survey recording their musculoskeletal symptoms across nine anatomical locations for the preceding 12 months. A total of 565 employees, working across eight different electrical utility organisational work units, completed the survey. Consumer and community involvement: The study was collaborative and conducted in Australia's largest, wholly government owned electricity company. The study originated from the participating organisation wanting to better understand their musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks. Results: Employees who experienced high job stress were 4.06 times (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.78-9.29) more likely to report musculoskeletal symptoms in the shoulder compared with employees with lower reported job stress. Employees that perceived their work to have high physical demands report lower back musculoskeletal symptoms at 2.64 times the rate of those perceiving their job to be of low physical demand (95% CI = 1.44-4.84). There were significant differences in the lower back musculoskeletal symptoms according to work unit membership. Conclusions: Understanding the prevalence of MSDs is critical to implementing practical prevention and rehabilitation strategies in the workplace. This anonymous survey highlighted that a large proportion of electrical utility workers reported that musculoskeletal symptoms had impacted their ability to perform their job, housework and/or hobbies in the preceding 12 months. Early access to rehabilitation services is essential. However, many workers report barriers to disclosing MSDs; therefore, workplace rehabilitation services may need to be broadened to account for these barriers.

Abstract	Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been very little guidance in Ireland and abroad, around the conduct of research, and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in particular. This has led to inconsistent interpretations of public health guidelines for the conduct of research in hospitals. Consequently, challenges have arisen for researchers conducting RCTs, in relation to recruitment and retention. These challenges are amplified for RCTs of psychosocial interventions, where communication and physical contact play a major role in administering the RCT. Therefore, learning from other research studies is important. This study addresses the challenges in administering an RCT of a psychosocial intervention in two paediatric outpatient diabetes clinics in Dublin Ireland, including recommendations to overcome these. Recommendations include the following: (1) recognise research as an essential service; (2) hospital management should implement guidelines to ensure a consistent approach to the conduct of research during pandemics; (3) ensure that there is a mechanism for the provision of clear and effective communication before the clinic visit with patients, to reassure them and gain their trust; and (4) trial managers should make time to check in with their team every day, as they would do if they were in the office.

Abstract	This study assessed self-reported heat strain symptoms in workers of a state wide electrical utility distributor to determine risk differences between age groups, geographical work regions and work units. Out of a total 3,250 workers, 918 (∼28%) outdoor staff completed an online survey, which assessed the frequency of self-reported heat strain symptoms in the work and post-work settings, factors contributing to symptoms and symptom management. Heat strain symptoms were grouped into chronic low-grade cases and isolated high-grade cases based on the severity and frequency of symptoms. The risk (likelihood) of an employee being classified as either a chronic low-grade or isolated high-grade case was calculated and compared to the mean risk of all categories to determine risk difference, expressed as -1.00 to 1.00. For chronic low-grade cases, the 41-50 years age group had significantly increased risk (+0.08, p < 0.05) while the over 60 years age group had significantly decreased risk (-0.14, p < 0.05). Two of the three regions (p < 0.01) and three of the nine work units also demonstrated risk differences (p < 0.01) for chronic low-grade cases. Work units were the sole grouping to demonstrate risk difference for isolated high-risk cases. Work units with greater exposure to heat and higher requirement for protective clothing, such as Underground (+0.19, p < 0.05), Overhead - Predominantly Live Line (+0.18, p < 0.01), and Overhead - Distribution and Transmission (+0.11, p < 0.05) were at greater risk of reporting heat stress symptoms. This study demonstrates that the pattern of self-reported chronic low-grade heat strain cases differs to isolated high-grade cases within the electrical utility industry. Age, geographical location, and work unit independently alter the risk of chronic low-grade heat strain, while the risk of isolated high-grade heat strain was only related to work unit. These outcomes support implementation of a flexible and targeted approach to heat stress management in large and diverse organizations in which employees are routinely exposed to heat.

Abstract	This review describes the sonographic appearances of the neonatal bowel in Necrotising enterocolitis. It compares these findings to those seen in midgut-Volvulus, obstructive intestinal conditions such as milk-curd obstruction, and slow gut motility in preterm infants on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-CPAP belly syndrome. Point-of-care bowel ultrasound is also helpful in ruling out severe and active intestinal conditions, reassuring clinicians when the diagnosis is unclear in a non-specific clinical presentation where NEC cannot be excluded. As NEC is a severe disease, it is often over-diagnosed, mainly due to a lack of reliable biomarkers and clinical presentation similar to sepsis in neonates. Thus, the assessment of the bowel in real-time would allow clinicians to determine the timing of re-initiation of feeds and would also be reassuring based on specific typical bowel characteristics visualised on the ultrasound.

Abstract	Introduction: Assessment of bowel health in ill preterm infants is essential to prevent and diagnose early potentially life-threatening intestinal conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis. Auscultation of bowel sounds helps assess peristalsis and is an essential component of this assessment. Aim: We aim to compare conventional bowel sound auscultation using acoustic recordings from an electronic stethoscope to real-time bowel motility visualized on point-of-care bowel ultrasound (US) in neonates with no known bowel disease. Methods: This is a prospective observational cohort study in neonates on full enteral feeds with no known bowel disease. A 3M™ Littmann® Model 3200 electronic stethoscope was used to obtain a continuous 60-s recording of bowel sounds at a set region over the abdomen, with a concurrent recording of US using a 12l high-frequency Linear probe. The bowel sounds heard by the first investigator using the stethoscope were contemporaneously transferred for a computerized assessment of their electronic waveforms. The second investigator, blinded to the auscultation findings, obtained bowel US images using a 12l Linear US probe. All recordings were analyzed for bowel peristalsis (duration in seconds) by each of the two methods. Results: We recruited 30 neonates (gestational age range 27-43 weeks) on full enteral feeds with no known bowel disease. The detection of bowel peristalsis (duration in seconds) by both methods (acoustic and US) was reported as a percentage of the total recording time for each participant. Comparing the time segments of bowel sound detection by digital stethoscope recording to that of the visual detection of bowel movements in US revealed a median time of peristalsis with US of 58%, compared to 88.3% with acoustic assessment ( Conclusion: Our study demonstrates disconcordance between the detection of bowel sounds by auscultation and the detection of bowel motility in real time using US in neonates on full enteral feeds and with no known bowel disease. Better innovative methods using artificial intelligence to characterize bowel sounds, integrating acoustic mapping with sonographic detection of bowel peristalsis, will allow us to develop continuous neonatal bowel sound monitoring devices.

Abstract	Objective: To explore relationships of early postnatal cranial ultrasonography (cUS) linear measures of brain size and brain growth with neurodevelopment at 2 years in infants born <30 weeks' gestational age (GA) and free of major brain injury. Design: Prospective observational cohort study. Setting: Tertiary neonatal intensive care unit. Patients: 139 infants born <30 weeks' GA, free of major brain injury on neonatal cUS and without congenital or chromosomal anomalies known to affect neurodevelopment. Intervention: Linear measures of brain tissue and fluid spaces made from cUS at 1-week, 1-month and 2-months' postnatal age. Main outcome measures: Cognitive, language and motor scores on the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition at 2 years' corrected age. Results: 313 scans were evaluated from the 131 children who were assessed at 2 years. Larger measures of the corpus callosum at 1 week, 1 month and 2 months, cerebellum and vermis at 2 months and faster positive growth of the cerebellum and vermis between 1 month and 2 months, were related to higher cognitive and language scores at 2 years. No relation between tissue measures and motor scores was found. Larger measures, and faster rate of increase, of fluid spaces within the first weeks after birth were related to better cognitive, language and motor outcomes at 2 years. Conclusions: Early postnatal cUS linear measures of brain tissue were related to cognitive and language development at 2 years in infants born <30 weeks' GA without major brain injury. Relationships between cUS linear measures of fluid spaces in the early postnatal period and later neurodevelopment warrant further exploration.

Abstract	Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination has off-target protective effects against infections unrelated to tuberculosis. Among these, murine and human studies suggest that BCG vaccination may protect against malaria. We investigated whether BCG vaccination influences neonatal in vitro cytokine responses to Plasmodium falciparum. Blood samples were collected from 108 participants in the Melbourne Infant Study BCG for Allergy and Infection Reduction (MIS BAIR) randomised controlled trial (Clinical trials registration NCT01906853, registered July 2013), seven days after randomisation to neonatal BCG (n = 66) or no BCG vaccination (BCG-naïve, n = 42). In vitro cytokine responses were measured following stimulation with P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes (PfIE) or E. coli. Results: No difference in the measured cytokines were observed between BCG-vaccinated and BCG-naïve neonates following stimulation with PfIE or E. coli. However, age at which blood was sampled was independently associated with altered cytokine responses to PfIE. Being male was also independently associated with increased TNF-a responses to both PfIE and E. coli. Conclusion: These findings do not support a role for BCG vaccination in influencing in vitro neonatal cytokine responses to P. falciparum. Older neonates are more likely to develop P. falciparum-induced IFN-γ and IFN-γ-inducible chemokine responses implicated in early protection against malaria and malaria pathogenesis.

Abstract	Introduction: This review acquaints neonatal clinicians using point-of-care ultrasound with a range of pathological bowel ultrasound findings, with the aim to promote utility of this skill as a diagnostic assessment tool in diseased neonatal intestinal states. Overview: A range of normal and pathological bowel ultrasound findings are illustrated with case examples from our neonatal intensive care unit. The technical challenges of lack of familiarity with sonographic appearance of bowel (healthy and diseased), occurrence of gas artefacts and requirements of high-resolution linear transducer probes are described to allow the development of skills amongst neonatologists trained in point-of-care ultrasound. Plain abdominal radiography continues to remain the standard investigation to differentiate benign bowel states such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) belly syndrome in preterm infants from life-threatening pathological intestinal states such as necrotising enterocolitis. Although plain radiography is the gold standard modality in the evaluation of neonatal diseased bowel states, real-time point-of-care bowel ultrasound performed in conjunction can provide valuable information on bowel peristalsis, bowel wall thickness and bowel vascularity. Abnormal configuration of superior mesenteric vessels on colour Doppler can alert the clinician to the diagnosis of neonatal intestinal malrotation-a time critical emergency. Conclusion: Further research is needed to explore true-negative and true-positive predictive values of bowel ultrasound. However, with expansion of knowledge, appropriate training of techniques, neonatologists will be able to enhance their diagnostic acumen by performing point-of-care bowel ultrasound in conjunction with plain radiography in the evaluation of broad array of neonatal intestinal states.

Abstract	One key aspect of efficient transport is load factor: the load carried compared to the maximum load that could be carried in a load unit (e.g. a vehicle). The purpose of this study is to develop an approach that will clarify and describe ways in which shippers can measure load factor. Drawing on existing literature and understanding gained from empirical data the proposed approach uses the load factor model, which structures measurement of load factor overall and at several levels (packaging, shipping, vehicle, fleet) as the ratio of required to a ailable capacity. Shipping level includes utilization of purchased capacity, which is of special interest to shippers. For applying the model in practice, calculation methods linked to availability of data are presented. Calculations of volumetric load factor from two cases illustrate the methods. This paper's detailed descriptions of how shippers can measure load factor provide calculation structure as well as transparency. Measuring load factor is of interest to evaluate efficiency, particularly since load factor is related to transport costs and environmental performance.
