    Abstract Background: Repurposing existing drugs for use in oncology is more efficient, cost-effective and safe than novel drug discovery. Calcium signalling is increasingly recognised to have a key role in chemoresistance. This study assessed the impact of calcium channel blockers (CCB) in pancreatic cancer.
    Methods: Retrospective population study of patients undergoing resection (curative intent) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (SEER-Medicare, 2007-2017). Cox models were built to assess the impact on overall survival. As laboratory studies suggest a chemosensitising effect, the impact of CCB was assessed separately in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
    Results: 6,223 patients were included, of whom 660 were prescribed CCB. In total, 591 received neoadjuvant chemotherapy; in this cohort CCB prescription was associated with improved overall survival when adjusting for multiple prognostic factors (aHR = 0.715, 0.514-0.996, P = 0.047). This effect was not observed in patients not receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (aHR = 1.082, 0.982-1.191, P = 0.112).
    Conclusion: CCB prescription was associated with improved overall survival in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to pancreatic cancer resection. The association was specific to the group of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, mirroring the chemosensitising effect in laboratory studies. This defines patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a target population for prospective clinical trials of CCB in pancreatic cancer.

    Abstract Background: Dextran 40 (D40) is a synthetic colloid with anticoagulant properties that is used instead of heparin after pancreas transplantation; however, there is a lack of evidence on which is more effective. Graft thrombosis and pancreatitis, which may be mediated through microthrombosis or macrothrombosis within the graft, remain significant complications after pancreas transplantation. We hypothesized that D40 reduces inflammation through its antithrombotic promicrocirculatory effects. We evaluated D40 compared to a heparin-based protocol by comparing postoperative complications and post-transplant levels of inflammation.
    Materials and methods: Data were collected retrospectively for pancreas transplant patients between December 2009 and August 2018. A total of 26 patients had been treated with the pre-dextran protocol and 37 had received D40. Postoperative complications and inflammatory markers (white cell count [WCC], C-reactive protein [CRP], and amylase) on postoperative days 1, 2, 3, and 7 were compared between groups. Potential confounders were also recorded.
    Results: Patients in the D40 group had similar thrombosis rates but were less likely to have had graft loss as a result of thrombosis or substantial postoperative bleeding compared to the heparin-based protocol. The group who received D40 had significantly lower CRP and WCC on days 2, 3, and 7. The differences on days 3 and 7 remained when the results were adjusted for the significant confounders of cold ischemic time and donor age.
    Conclusions: D40 appears to be as effective as intravenous heparin at preventing graft thrombosis after pancreas transplant and to confer a reduced risk for bleeding. It may also reduce postoperative inflammatory processes, leading to reduced graft pancreatitis.

    Abstract Background: Biliary leaks and anastomotic strictures are common early anastomotic biliary complications (EABCs) following liver transplantation. However, there are no large multicentre studies investigating their clinical impact or risk factors. This study aimed to define the incidence, risk factors and impact of EABC.
    Methods: The NHS registry on adult liver transplantation between 2006 and 2017 was reviewed retrospectively. Adjusted regression models were used to assess predictors of EABC, and their impact on outcomes.
    Results: Analyses included 8304 liver transplant recipients. Patients with EABC (9·6 per cent) had prolonged hospitalization (23 versus 15 days; P < 0·001) and increased chance for readmission within the first year (56 versus 32 per cent; P < 0·001). Patients with EABC had decreased estimated 5-year graft survival of 75·1 versus 84·5 per cent in those without EABC, and decreased 5-year patient survival of 76·9 versus 83·3 per cent; both P < 0.001. Adjusted Cox regression revealed that EABCs have a significant and independent impact on graft survival (leak hazard ratio (HR) 1·344, P = 0·015; stricture HR 1·513, P = 0·002; leak plus stricture HR 1·526, P = 0·036) and patient survival (leak HR 1·215, P = 0·136, stricture HR 1·526, P = 0·001; leak plus stricture HR 1·509; P = 0·043). On adjusted logistic regression, risk factors for EABC included donation after circulatory death grafts, graft aberrant arterial anatomy, biliary anastomosis type, vascular anastomosis time and recipient model of end-stage liver disease.
    Conclusion: EABCs prolong hospital stay, increase readmission rates and are independent risk factors for graft loss and increased mortality. This study has identified factors that increase the likelihood of EABC occurrence; research into interventions to prevent EABCs in these at-risk groups is vital to improve liver transplantation outcomes.

    Abstract INTRODUCTION The roles of non-medically trained practitioners within the NHS are expanding; they are now being employed by many specialties, including surgery, to relieve pressures on healthcare teams. AIMS To investigate the learning curve and competence of an orthopaedic surgical care practitioner (SCP) in performing hip aspirations. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected on 510 orthopaedic hip aspirations, of which 360 were completed by a single SCP and 150 were completed by surgeons before the SCP took over routine aspiration. The 360 aspirations completed by an SCP were separated into groups of 30 by date, so any trend in failure rate could be analysed. Ordinal χ

    Abstract Background: Early vascular complications following pancreatic transplantation are not uncommon (3%-8%). Typically, cross-sectional imaging is requested in response to clinical change. We instituted a change in protocol to request imaging pre-emptively to identify patients with thrombotic complications.
    Methods: In 2013, protocol computer tomography angiography (CTA) at days 3-5 and day 10 following pancreas transplantation was introduced. A retrospective analysis of all pancreas transplants performed at our institution from January 2001 to May 2019 was undertaken.
    Results: A total of 115 patients received pancreas transplants during this time period. A total of 78 received pancreas transplant without routine CTA and 37 patients with the new protocol. Following the change in protocol, we detected a high number of subclinical thromboses (41.7%). There was a significant decrease in invasive intervention for thrombosis (78.6% before vs 30.8% after, p = .02), and graft survival was significantly higher (61.5% before vs 86.1% after, p = .04). There was also a significant reduction in the number of graft failures (all-cause) where thrombosis was present (23.4% before vs 5.6% after, p = .02). Patient survival was unaffected (p = .48).
    Conclusions: Implementation of early protocol CTA identifies a large number of patients with subclinical graft thromboses that are more amenable to conservative management and significantly reduces the requirement for invasive intervention.

    Abstract Leaching of phosphorus (P) mobilizes edaphic and applied sources of P and is a primary pathway of concern in agricultural soils of the Delmarva Peninsula, which defines the eastern boundary of the eutrophic Chesapeake Bay. We evaluated P leaching before and after poultry litter application from intact soil columns (30 cm diameter × 50 cm depth) obtained from low- and high-P members of four dominant Delmarva Peninsula soils. Surface soil textures ranged from fine sand to silt loam, and Mehlich-3 soil P ranged from 64 to 628 mg kg. Irrigation of soil columns before litter application pointed to surface soil P controls on dissolved P in leachate (with soil P sorption saturation providing a stronger relationship than Mehlich-3 P); however, strong relationships between P in the subsoil (45-50 cm) and leachate P concentrations were also observed ( = 0.61-0.73). After poultry litter application (4.5 Mg ha), leachate P concentrations and loads increased significantly for the finest-textured soils, consistent with observations that well-structured soils have the greatest propensity to transmit applied P. Phosphorus derived from poultry litter appeared to contribute 41 and 76% of total P loss in leachate from the two soils with the finest textures. Results point to soil P, including P sorption saturation, as a sound metric of P loss potential in leachate when manure is not an acute source of P but highlight the need to factor in macropore transport potential to predict leaching losses from applied P sources.
