    Abstract Self-assembled colloidal crystals display structural colors due to light diffracted from their microscale, ordered structure. This color arises due to Bragg reflection (BR) or grating diffraction (GD); the latter mechanism is much less explored than the former. Here the design space for generating GD structural color is identified and its relative advantages are demonstrated. Electrophoretic deposition is used to self-assemble crystals with fine crystal grains from colloids of diameter 1.0 µm. The structural color in transmission is tunable across the full visible spectrum. The optimum optical response-represented by both color intensity and saturation-is observed at low layer number (≤5 layers). The spectral response is well predicted by Mie scattering of the crystals. Taken together, the experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that vivid grating colors with high color saturation can be produced from thin layers of micron-sized colloids. These colloidal crystals extend the potential of artificial structural color materials.

    Abstract Hypothesis: Because they are self-propulsive, active colloidal particles can interact with their environment in ways that differ from passive, Brownian particles. Here, we explore how interactions in different microstructural regions may contribute to colloidal crystal annealing.
    Experiments: We investigate active particles propagating in a quasi-2D colloidal crystal monolayer produced by alternating current electric fields (active-to-passive particle ratio ∼ 1:720). The active particle is a platinum Janus sphere propelled by asymmetric decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Crystals are characterized for changes in void properties. The mean-squared-displacement of Janus particles are measured to determine how active microdynamics depend on the local microstructure, which is comprised of void regions, void-adjacent regions (defined as within three particle diameters of a void), and interstitial regions.
    Findings: At active particle energy E

    Abstract Advanced pelvic malignancy, regardless of the cancer of origin, is often multivisceral and complex. The management of advanced pelvic malignancy is resource-intensive and requires multidisciplinary input. The definition of resectability is evolving with improving multimodal therapy, preoperative staging and optimisation, perioperative care, and advanced surgical techniques. Pelvic exenteration is a highly morbid procedure and has been shown to improve survival and quality of life when performed with a curative intent. Unresectable distant solid organ or lymph node metastases and an inability to achieve a clear resection margin preclude curative pelvic exenteration. Patients with advanced pelvic malignancy who are deemed palliative are mostly managed by non-operative treatment such as chemo-, radio-, immuno-, hormonal therapy, pain management and palliative care, as well as allied health and psychosocial support team. These patients may present with severe and debilitating symptoms including intractable pain, ulcerating/proliferating tumour, pelvic fistula/sepsis/bleeding, urinary and bowel obstruction/incontinence. Interventional radiological and surgical procedures such as percutaneous drainage, nephrostomy, intestinal and urinary diversion, intestinal bypass, and venting gastrostomy have an important role in symptom control and improving quality of life. Palliative pelvic exenteration should be carefully considered along with life expectancy, patient wishes and tumour characteristics. Comprehensive discussion with patient is crucial to achieve realistic expectations. These patients should not only be discussed in a multidisciplinary team meeting with palliative care input, but also be referred for a formal palliative care consultation. Tumour anatomical extent should be considered both for and against pelvic exenteration whether involving the posterior compartment i.e. sacrectomy; lateral compartment incorporating neurovascular bundle and the anterior compartment requiring pubic bone excision as all can be associated with high morbidity rates. Patient recovery may be protracted too if surgery is complicated by perineal wound or flap breakdown in cases necessitating wide perineal skin and soft tissue excision. Furthermore, evidence from quality of life and cost-effectiveness studies do not provide robust data to support pelvic exenteration with palliative intent. Whilst a relatively 'straightforward' central soft tissue pelvic exenteration may offer reasonable symptomatic relief in a patient with an acceptable life expectancy, palliative pelvic exenteration overall should only be considered in highly selected patients.

    Abstract Aim: Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) patients are more likely to have advanced disease and undergo more aggressive treatment modalities. However, current literature investigating the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of EOCRC patients is scarce. This study aimed to determine the HRQoL of an Australian cohort of EOCRC patients including a subset who underwent pelvic exenteration (PE) or cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
    Method: A cross-sectional study of EOCRC patients treated at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney Australia was performed. Patients were divided into groups based on the time interval from their index operation: ≤2 years and >2 years. HRQoL was evaluated using the SF-36v2 questionnaire.
    Results: A total of 50 patients were included. For patients ≤2 years from surgery, the median physical component summary (PCS) and mental health component summary (MCS) scores were 53.3 (36.4-58.9) and 47.3 (37.5-55.7). In the >2 years group, the median PCS and MCS scores were 50.6 (43.3-57.7) and 50.2 (39.04-56.2), respectively. Stage I (vs. stage II) disease and emergency (vs. elective) surgery conferred poorer PCS scores in patients ≤2 years from surgery. No other variables impacted PCS or MCS scores in EOCRC patients in either group.
    Conclusions: HRQoL of EOCRC patients was equivocal to the Australian population. Having an earlier stage of diagnosis and emergency index operation was associated with poorer levels of physical functioning in patients ≤2 years from surgery. However, because of the limitations of this study, these findings require validation in future large-scale prospective research.

    Abstract We review work in reconfigurable colloidal assembly, a field in which rapid, back-and-forth transitions between the equilibrium states of colloidal self-assembly are accomplished by dynamic manipulation of the size, shape, and interaction potential of colloids, as well as the magnitude and direction of the fields applied to them. It is distinguished from the study of colloidal phase transitions by the centrality of thermodynamic variables and colloidal properties that are time switchable; by the applicability of these changes to generate transitions in assembled colloids that may be spatially localized; and by its incorporation of the effects of generalized potentials due to, for example, applied electric and magnetic fields. By drawing upon current progress in the field, we propose a matrix classification of reconfigurable colloidal systems based on the tool used and function performed by reconfiguration. The classification distinguishes between the multiple means by which reconfigurable assembly can be accomplished (i.e., the tools of reconfiguration) and the different kinds of structural transitions that can be achieved by it (i.e., the functions of reconfiguration). In the first case, the tools of reconfiguration can be broadly classed as (i) those that control the colloidal contribution to the system entropy-as through volumetric and/or shape changes of the particles; (ii) those that control the internal energy of the colloids-as through manipulation of colloidal interaction potentials; and (iii) those that control the spatially resolved potential energy that is imposed on the colloids-as through the introduction of field-induced phoretic mechanisms that yield colloidal displacement and accumulation. In the second case, the functions of reconfiguration include reversible: (i) transformation between different phases-including fluid, cluster, gel, and crystal structures; (ii) manipulation of the spacing between colloids in crystals and clusters; and (iii) translation, rotation, or shape-change of finite-size objects self-assembled from colloids. With this classification in hand, we correlate the current limits on the spatiotemporal scales for reconfigurable colloidal assembly and identify a set of future research challenges.
