    Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions of people worldwide. It is an autosomal recessive hemoglobinopathy that occurs due to a point mutation in the sixth codon that replaces glutamic acid with valine in the beta-globin chain. Avascular necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is one of its complications. In this report, we present a case of a 25-year-old female with sickle cell trait without any comorbidities who presented to us with pain in both shoulder joints for three months and was diagnosed with AVN in bilateral shoulder joints. Appropriate treatment can dramatically reduce pain and improve the quality of life for these patients. This case drew our attention due to its rare presentation.

    Abstract Aims: Lifestyle and dietary modification are effective in the prevention and management of Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, South Asian (SA) populations living in Western countries have low adherence rates to healthcare advice and experience poor diabetes control and clinical outcomes compared with the general population. This systematic review aimed to summarise the barriers and facilitators of dietary modification within people from South Asian (SA) ethnicity with T2DM or pre-diabetes.
    Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus generated 3739 articles, of which seven were included. Qualitative and quantitative data were inputted utilising COVIDENCE. Qualitative data were analysed by thematic analysis.
    Results: Thematic analysis identified three facilitators: (1) cultural sensitivity, (2) health education and (3) support networks. Barriers include (1) healthcare inequity, (2) cultural insensitivity, (3) social pressures, (4) misconceptions and (5) time constraints. Good access to health care and motivation were the most common facilitators discussed. Misconceptions on T2DM management and cultural insensitivity contributed to the majority of barriers discussed.
    Conclusions: Culturally tailored interventions could improve adherence to diet modification in people with T2DM from SA ethnicity. Interventions involving the application of social media to challenge intergenerational stigmas and misinformation, distributing culturally appropriate resources and providing diets tailored to the SA palate could help.

    Abstract Nitrogen and phosphorous are important inorganic water pollutants that pose a major threat to the environment and health of both humans and animals. The physical and chemical ways to remove these pollutants from water and soil are expensive and harsh, so biological removal becomes the method of choice to alleviate the problem without any side effects. The identification of microorganisms capable of simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification has greatly simplified the sequestration of nitrogen from ammonium (NH₄⁺) into dinitrogen (N₂). Further, the discovery of phosphorous accumulating organisms offers greater economic benefits because these organisms can favourably and simultaneously remove both nitrogen and phosphorous from wastewaters hence reducing the nutrient burden. The stability of the system and removal efficiency of inorganic pollutants can be enhanced by the use of immobilized organisms. However, limited work has been done so far in this direction and there is a need to further the efforts towards refining process efficiency by testing low-cost substrates and diverse microbial populations for the total eradication of these contaminants from wastewaters.

    Abstract Workforce flexibility in regard to the time and location of work can offer many advantages for individuals, businesses, communities and countries. Whilst neither universally viable nor uniformly valuable, there are those who may have a preference for such flexibility and there is certainly untapped positive potential to be explored across multiple impact categories. The COVID 19 pandemic has improved acceptability from both employee and employer perspectives and delivered a global ‘crash course’ in remote working. The varied potentials to work from anywhere, as well as differences in associated impact outcomes point to the value of targeted supports and careful planning. The Working from Anywhere Index (WFAI) offers a transferable fine scale spatial methodology to identify both the preferences and potential for working from anywhere. The value for policy support is demonstrated through application to a case country, Ireland, where illustrative scenarios explore the role of broadband provision, the placement of remote working hubs and the effect of shifts in employment types on the preferences and potential for working from anywhere. Impact analysis indicates that the scale of annual benefits for a plausible ‘2 day a week’ national working from anywhere scenario are substantial and offer the potential to save in the region of 1 bn car commuting kilometres per annum with associated societal benefits for emissions reduction and individual time savings.

    Abstract Background: Preeclampsia, new-onset hypertension during pregnancy alongside other organ dysfunction, is the leading cause of mortality for the mother and low birth weight for the baby. Low birth weight contributes to high risk of cardiovascular disorders later in life. Women with preeclampsia have activated B cells producing agonistic autoantibodies to AT1-AA (angiotensin II type I receptor). We hypothesize that rituximab, a B cell-depleting chemotherapeutic, will deplete maternal B cells in reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) rats without worsening the effect of placental ischemia on pup growth and survival.
    Methods and results: To test this hypothesis, the RUPP procedure was performed, and rituximab was continuously infused via miniosmotic pump. Maternal blood and tissues were collected. A separate group of dams were allowed to deliver, pup weights were recorded, and at 4 months of age, tissues were collected from offspring. Immune cells were measured via flow cytometry, and AT1-AA was quantified using a contraction bioassay. Blood pressure increased in RUPP rats and was normalized with rituximab treatment. RUPP offspring also had increased circulating B cells, cytolytic natural killer cells, and increased circulating AT1-AA, which were normalized with maternal rituximab treatment. This is the first study to analyze the AT1-AA in RUPP offspring, which was normalized with rituximab.
    Conclusions: Our findings indicate that perinatal rituximab lowers maternal mean arterial pressure in RUPP rats and improves birth weight, circulating AT1-AA, and circulating natural killer cells, indicating that rituximab improves adverse fetal outcomes in response to placental ischemia.

    Abstract Aims: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and delayed medical and surgical examinations where attendance is required in person. Our article aims to outline the validity of online assessment, the range of benefits to both candidate and assessor, and the challenges to its implementation. In addition, we propose pragmatic suggestions for its introduction into medical assessment.
    Methods: We reviewed the literature concerning the present status of online medical and surgical assessment to establish the perceived benefits, limitations, and potential problems with this method of assessment.
    Results: Global experience with online, remote virtual examination has been largely successful with many benefits conferred to the trainee, and both an economic and logistical advantage conferred to the assessor or organization. Advances in online examination software and remote proctoring are overcoming practical caveats including candidate authentication, cheating prevention, cybersecurity, and IT failure.
    Conclusion: Virtual assessment provides benefits to both trainee and assessor in medical and surgical examinations and may also result in cost savings. Virtual assessment is likely to be increasingly used in the post-COVID world and we present recommendations for the continued adoption of virtual examination. It is, however, currently unable to completely replace clinical assessment of trainees. Cite this article:

    Abstract Humans are exposed to numerous synthetic foreign particles in the form of drug delivery systems and diagnostic agents. Specialized immune cells (phagocytes) clear these particles by phagocytosing and attempting to degrade them. The process of recognition and internalization of the particles may trigger changes in the function of phagocytes. Some of these changes, especially the ability of a particle-loaded phagocyte to take up and neutralize pathogens, remains poorly studied. Herein, we demonstrate that the uptake of non-stimulatory cargo-free particles enhances the phagocytic ability of monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. The enhancement in phagocytic ability was independent of particle properties, such as size or the base material constituting the particle. Additionally, we show that the increased phagocytosis was not a result of cellular activation or cellular heterogeneity but was driven by changes in cell membrane fluidity and cellular compliance. A consequence of the enhanced phagocytic activity was that particulate-laden immune cells neutralize Escherichia coli (E. coli) faster in culture. Moreover, when administered in mice as a prophylactic, particulates enable faster clearance of E. coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Together, we demonstrate that the process of uptake induces cellular changes that favor additional phagocytic events. This study provides insights into using non-stimulatory cargo-free particles to engineer immune cell functions for applications involving faster clearance of phagocytosable abiotic and biotic material.
