    Abstract The present paper revisits and extends the examination of the long-run relationship between UK life expectancy and income provided by Tapia Granados (2012). Adopting a more detailed form of analysis, a clear break corresponding to the 1918-1919 Influenza Pandemic is identified in the long span of data examined. This finding of structural change, along with detected uncertainty regarding the orders of integration of the series examined, results in the application of split-sample analysis employing autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) modelling. The results obtained reverse the 'no long-run relationship' conclusion of Tapia Granados (2012) with overwhelming evidence presented in support of a negative relationship between life expectancy and income. Our findings add to both health-income research and a burgeoning literature on the reproduction and replication of previously published empirical research.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Ectoparasites may transfer zoonotic pathogens from rodents to humans or livestock when rodents are managed with rodenticides. This could be minimized using a product combining a rodenticide with a delayed action and a systemic insecticide/acaricide that rapidly kills ectoparasites. Such a combination was tested in commensal pest rodent species to assess efficacy and timing of responses in rodents, and fleas and ticks feeding on them. Ticks or fleas attached to rats (Rattus norvegicus) and house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) were exposed to a product containing brodifacoum (50 ppm) and fipronil (40 ppm) for three days. RESULTS: 98–100% of fleas on treated rodents died within one to two days after first exposure, whereas >90% fleas survived on control rodents. The effect persisted for four or more days after bait uptake. Ticks started to succumb to the effect of the combination product within one day (mice) and within four days (rats) of first exposure, with all ticks dying by Day (D)8. Tick survival in control rodents was 90–100%. Rodent mortality began at D3 (rats) and D4 (mice) after first consumption of product and all were dead by D9 (rats) and D7 (mice). CONCLUSION: This product effectively killed ectoparasites and rodents. Flea mortality was swift and complete, generally within one day of exposure, whereas it took ticks up to four days to die, but before the rats and house mice died. The combination product might help to prevent ectoparasites migrating from dying rodents to another host. Field trials are warranted. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

    Abstract E-learning vs. face-to-face delivery: this binary opposition has governed much of the existing pedagogical research concerning technological innovation, as educationists are pressured to prioritise efficiency and the cost-effectiveness of traditional teaching methods. This paper rejects such a false dichotomy, proffering the alternative that can be found in blended learning methods. It is through the meticulous splicing of e-learning and traditional lectures that the individual economics lecturer is freed to deliver a pluralist perspective. "Contest and controversy; orthodoxy and heterodoxy; critique and reject": technology provides the vehicle for economics education to break free of the constraints of monist teaching methods and ensures that economics students can fully engage in the discipline's vibrant debates.

    Abstract Background: Low blood pressure occurring in the absence of volume depletion, anti-hypertensive medication, heart failure or cortisol deficiency occurs in ~5-10% of haemodialysis patients, and can result in serious complications. The pathophysiology of this syndrome is poorly understood.
    Methods: We describe eight cases with dialysis-associated hypotension who underwent renal transplantation. Four patients were severely hypotensive with a systolic blood pressure (SBP) <100 mmHg before and during dialysis, and four had a SBP usually <100 mmHg during dialysis, but usually >100 mmHg between sessions. All had donor-specific human leukocyte antigen antibodies. Six patients underwent pre-transplant plasmapheresis, which was curtailed in two because of further falls in blood pressure. Two patients experienced clotting of their arteriovenous fistula. In one patient cryofiltration was used, which was tolerated without severe falls in the BP. The remaining patient, who had hypotension-associated retinal vein thrombosis before transplant, was supported with an epinephrine infusion and did not receive plasmapheresis.
    Results: Post-transplant, the first patient did not receive pressor therapy and died from bowel ischaemia. The other seven patients were supported with inotropes on critical care. The administration of steroids did not reverse hypotension. The mean pre-treatment SBP was 96 mmHg (range 71-110, SEM 5.0). After inotropes were withdrawn and graft function was established, the mean SBP was 127 mmHg (range 113-149, SEM 4.9) (P < 0.01).
    Conclusions: Renal transplantation was performed successfully and safely in patients when pressor therapy was used to treat severe dialysis-associated hypotension and, moreover, the blood pressure normalized rapidly after graft function was established.
