Abstract:
Stomatal responses to ABA and CO2 were investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. wild-type and ABA insensitive mutants (abi1-1, abi2-1, abi1-1abi2-1) at the whole plant and at the isolated epidermis levels. In wild-type plants, feeding roots with ABA (1–50 µM) triggered a rapid drop in leaf conductance which levelled off during the following photoperiods, and strongly inhibited the increase in conductance induced by light. The rapid response was strongly inhibited in abi1-1, abi2-1 and abi1-1abi2-1 double mutants, but a residual long-term decrease in leaf conductance was still observed. In wild-type plants, exogenous ABA strongly enhanced the response to CO2 removal. Conversely, in the absence of CO2 the effect of ABA was drastically reduced in epidermal strip experiments. These results reveal a strong interaction between sensing of ABA and CO2 in stomata of A. thaliana. Despite an initially wide stomatal aperture in abi-1, abi-2 and double mutant plants, their stomatal responses to light and CO2 removal were half those of wild-type plants. Moreover these responses were totally independent of the presence of ABA, suggesting that ABI1 and ABI2 are either directly involved in the interaction between the two signalling pathways or, alternatively located upstream of this point of interaction.

Abstract:
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a defense hormone with influence on callose-dependent and -independent resistance against Leptosphaeria maculans acting in the RLM1Col pathway. ABA-deficient and -insensitive mutants in Ler-0 background (aba1-3 and abi1-1) displayed susceptibility to L. maculans, along with a significantly decreased level of callose depositions, whereas abi2-1 and abi3-1 remained resistant, together with the abi5-1 mutant of Ws-0 background. Suppressor mutants of abi1-1 confirmed that the L. maculans-susceptible response was due to the dominant negative nature of the abi1-1 mutant. Highly induced camalexin levels made ABA mutants in Col-0 background (aba2-1, aba3-1, and abi4-1) appear resistant, but displayed enhanced susceptibility as double mutants with pad3-1, impaired in camalexin biosynthesis. β-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) pretreatment of Ler-0 contributed to an elevated level of endogenous ABA after L. maculans inoculation. Comparisons between (RLM1Col)pad3 and rlm1Lerpad3 showed that ABA and BABA enhancement of callose deposition requires induction from RLM1Col·ABI1, but not ABI2, was found to be involved in a feedback mechanism that modulates RLM1Col expression. Genetic analysis showed further that this feedback occurs upstream of ABI4 and that components downstream of ABI4 modulate ABI1 activity. ABA and BABA treatments of the L. maculans-susceptible callose synthase mutant pmr4 showed that ABA also induces a callose-independent resistance. Similar treatments enhanced callose depositions and induced resistance to L. maculans in oilseed rape, and BABA-induced resistance was found to be independent of salicylic acid.

Abstract:
Vascular bypass has long been the standard surgical treatment for symptomatic aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). Conventional wisdom has been that aortobifemoral bypass (ABF) be performed for AIOD because of the inevitable progression of iliac atherosclerosis leading to bypass thrombosis. However, ABF is prone to significant groin incision complications such as infection and lymphocele. The purpose of this study was to determine if aortobiiliac bypass (ABI) to the distal external iliac artery performs similarly to ABF in cases in which minimal atherosclerosis is present in the distal iliac arteries. Of patients undergoing aortic reconstruction for symptomatic AIOD between July 1998 and December 2008, 37 were found to have minimal atherosclerosis in the distal external iliac arteries and underwent ABI. These were compared with patients undergoing ABF using a retrospective matched cohort design. The indication for ABI was claudication in 86.5 per cent and critical limb ischemia in 13.5 per cent. There was no difference found in overall bypass patency. The 1-, 3-, and, 5-year patencies were 97, 92, and 79 per cent in the ABI group and 93, 85, and 76 per cent in the ABF group, respectively ( P = 0.8). The incidence of groin wound complications in the ABF group was 14.6 per cent. ABI to the distal external iliac artery achieves equivalent graft patencies to ABF without added risk of associated groin wound complications. These data suggest that ABI be preferentially considered to ABF in situations when the very distal external iliac arteries are patent and free of significant atherosclerotic disease.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Actin polymerization provides the driving force for the formation of cell-cell junctions and is mediated by two types of actin nucleators, Arp2/3 and formins. Proteins required for coordinately linking cadherin-mediated adhesion to Arp2/3-dependent versus formin-dependent nucleation have yet to be defined. Here we show a role for Abi, the Abi-binding partner Nap1, and the Nap1-binding protein Sra1 in the regulation of cadherin-dependent adhesion. We found that Abi, which is known to interact with Wave, leading to activation of the Arp2/3 complex, is also capable of interacting with the Diaphanous (Dia)-related formins in the absence of Wave. Knockdown of Abi, Nap1, Sra1, or Dia markedly inhibited cell-cell junctions, whereas knockdown of Wave or Arp2/3 produced mild and transient phenotypes. Dia and Abi colocalized with β-catenin at cell-cell junctions. Further, Dia and Wave bound to overlapping sites on Abi1, and Wave competed with Dia for Abi1 binding. Notably, an active Dia1 C-terminal fragment that localizes to cell-cell junctions rescued the abnormal junctions induced by depletion of Abi or Nap1 in epithelial cells. These findings uncover a novel link between cadherin-mediated adhesion and the regulation of actin dynamics through the requirement for an Abi/Dia complex for the formation and stability of cell-cell junctions.

Abstract:
Abstract Paternal transmission of the bithorax-complex (BX-C) rearrangement, inversion Uab1, causes a specific dominant gain of function phenotype in most abdominal segments. This represents a case of paternal imprinting since the mutant phenotype will occur only if inversion Uab1 is paternally transmitted. The transformations in males are toward genital arch tissue. For females the transformations are to tissue found on abdominal segment 7 (Ab7) and to structures normally restricted to the genital disc. Ninety-six percent of transformed areas appear on Ab5 and Ab6 in both sexes and on Ab7 in females, coinciding with the Abd-B domain. Four percent of the transformations occurred on Ab1 through Ab4, coinciding with the abd-A domain. The mutant phenotype can be dramatically enhanced by modifying genes such as the posterior BX-C mutant tuh-3. Expressivity is modulated by maternal effect alleles interacting with tuh-3. A region of function within inversion Uab1 appears to be programmed during spermatogenesis to function in a legacy dependent manner during embryogenesis.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Abl-interactor (Abi) family of adaptor proteins has been linked to signaling pathways involving the Abl tyrosine kinases and the Rac GTPase. Abi proteins localize to sites of actin polymerization in protrusive membrane structures and regulate actin dynamics in vitro. Here we demonstrate that Abi2 modulates cell morphogenesis and migration in vivo. Homozygous deletion of murine abi2 produced abnormal phenotypes in the eye and brain, the tissues with the highest Abi2 expression. In the absence of Abi2, secondary lens fiber orientation and migration were defective in the eye, without detectable defects in proliferation, differentiation, or apoptosis. These phenotypes were consistent with the localization of Abi2 at adherens junctions in the developing lens and at nascent epithelial cell adherens junctions in vitro. Downregulation of Abi expression by RNA interference impaired adherens junction formation and correlated with downregulation of the Wave actin-nucleation promoting factor. Loss of Abi2 also resulted in cell migration defects in the neocortex and hippocampus, abnormal dendritic spine morphology and density, and severe deficits in short- and long-term memory. These findings support a role for Abi2 in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics at adherens junctions and dendritic spines, which is critical for intercellular connectivity, cell morphogenesis, and cognitive functions.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) ensure homeostasis and lifelong maintenance of hematopoietic system, but with age, they gradually lose quiescence, self-renewal potential, and system restoration capacity. HSC aging results in a differentiation shift towards myeloid lineage, anemia, thrombocytosis, decrease in T and B cells, imbalance in macrophage function, and increased osteoclast activity. Mechanisms involved in HSC aging include increased mTOR activity and ROS production, impaired autophagy, epigenetic reprograming, and cumulative DNA damage. Intriguingly, cellular and molecular similarities between aging and inflammation have led to a novel concept of "inflammation-associated aging of hematopoiesis". Understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for this process may impact strategies targeting age-related diseases, including neoplasms. However, to date only few primary animal models of inflammation have shown bone marrow failure, so new animal models need to be established to provide mechanistic insight into the long-term implications of chronic inflammation on the hematopoietic system. We have previously shown that bone marrow-specific deletion of an adapter protein Abelson interactor-1 (Abi1) leads to a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-like disease in 35-56-week-old mice, mechanistically associated with increased activity of Src Family Kinases (SFKs), STAT3 and NF-κB. At both transcript and protein levels, Abi-1 is also significantly reduced in HSCs and granulocytes from patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), and Abi-1-deficient HSC in human PMF show increased SFK-STAT3-NF-κB signaling (Chorzalska, ASH 2017). Methods: Myeloid/lymphoid, stem/progenitor populations profiling by FACS, bone marrow transplantation assays, transcriptomics and proteomics analyses as well pro-inflammatory cytokine profiling and histopathology analyses were performed on the transgenic Abi-1KO mice carrying bone marrow-selective knockout at 4 weeks post-recombination, upon confirming both inducible inactivation of the Abi1flox allele and loss of Abi-1 protein in the marrow (Fig.1A, B). Results: To better understand initial systemic events that lead to the development of MPN-like disease in aged Abi-1KO mice we have now characterized early changes within the hematopoietic system associated with loss of Abi-1. Blood count analysis indicated leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytosis, and an increase in the fraction of myeloid (CD11b+/Gr-1+) as well as macrophage/monocyte (F4/80+) cells at the expense of lymphoid (B220+) cells in Abi-1KO relative to Abi-1WT mice (Fig.1C). Previously reported 2.6-fold increase in Abi-1KO LT-HSCs (Chorzalska, ASH 2017) was now shown to be associated with 30% increase in number of LT-HSCs is in the S/G2/M phases of the cell cycle relative to Abi-1WT LT-HSCs (Fig. 1D). Lethally irradiated recipient C57BL/6 wild-type mice transplanted with bone marrow cells from Abi-1KO relative to Abi-1WT mice (in the absence of competitor cells) showed progressive loss of chimerism in primary and secondary recipients (Fig. E). Genome-wide gene expression analysis of Abi-1WT vs. Abi-1KO LSK cells showed significant overexpression of genes regulated by or involved in regulation of the NF-κB pathway (Fig. 1F). Plasma cytokine levels showed 2-fold increase in IL-1B, IL-12, IL-17, IL-23, IL-27, and MCP-1 and nearly 10-fold increase in INFγ (Fig. 1G). Label-free, intensity-based quantitative proteomic analysis of bone marrow from 20-week-old Abi-1KO and Abi-1WT mice showed abundance of peptides derived from Mac-1, myeloperoxidase, STAT1, STAT3, and SFKs - Hck and Fgr, confirming not only activation of SFKs and STAT3 signaling, but also increase in proteins associated with myeloid lineages (Fig. 1H). Loss of bone density (Fig. 1I) and a significant decrease in thymus size (Fig. 1J) were observed in Abi-1KO mice relative to Abi-1WT mice. Conclusions: In sum, phenotypic analyses performed 4-10-weeks post Abi1 gene inactivation indicate changes consistent with accelerated aging of hematopoietic system that are mechanistically linked to inflammatory SFK-STAT3-NF-κB signaling. To our knowledge this is the first animal model linking accelerated inflammation-driven aging of hematopoietic system to development of an MPN in aged mice.

Abstract:
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) and the AP2/ERF (APETALA2/ETHYLENE-RESPONSIVE FACTOR)-type transcription factor called ABA INSENSITIVE 4 (ABI4) play pivotal roles in plant growth responses to environmental stress. An analysis of seedling development in Arabidopsis ABA hypersensitive mutants suggested that OXS3 (OXIDATIVE STRESS 3), OXS3b, O3L3 (OXS3 LIKE 3), O3L4, and O3L6 were negative regulators of ABI4 expression. We therefore characterized the roles of the OXS3 family members in ABA signaling. All the above five OXS3 proteins were found to interact with AFP1 (ABI FIVE BINDING PROTEIN 1) in yeast two hybrid assays. Seven OXS3 family members including two other members O3L1 and O3L5 were found to interact with histone H2A.X, although OXS3b, O3L3, and O3L5 showed weaker interactions. ChIP-qPCR analysis showed that the absence of some of these OXS3 family proteins was associated with increased occupancy of histone γ-H2A.X at the ABI4 promoter, which also corresponded with de-repression of ABI4 expression. Repression of ABI4 expression, however, required both AFP1 and OXS3, OXS3b or O3L6. We conclude that in the absence of stress, OXS3 family proteins regulate γ-H2A.X deposition at the ABI4 promoter and that together with AFP1, OXS3 family proteins function to prevent ABA-induced growth arrest by co-repressing ABI4 through decreased promoter occupancy of histone γ-H2A.X.

Abstract:
Estudar o NOVO ÍNDICE PREDITIVO DE DOENÇA CARDIOVASCULAR,o CAVI, em doentes diabéticos, foi um desafio encorajado pelo forte impacto que a Diabetes e a Doença Cardiovascular apresentam na sociedade actual. Assim, foi objectivo do presente estudo abordar a diabetes de uma resumida, bem como divulgar as novas técnicas de diagnóstico de detecção precoce de risco cardiovascular, hoje em voga na sociedade Japonesa. Para além disso, este estudo pretende ainda verificar se o índice supra mencionado pode ser aplicado à população diabética, visto ser esta a que apresenta maior risco de doença cardiovascular. A Diabetes Mellitus é uma situação clínica que, embora heterogénea na sua etiopatogenia e, mesmo, nas suas manifestações clínicas, tem vindo a aumentar de frequência em todo o mundo, sendo considerada uma doença em expansão epidémica, sobretudo nos países em desenvolvimento e industrializados. Embora ainda seja difícil estimar a prevalência da Diabetes Mellitus (pois sendo esta doença, muitas vezes, assintomática, o número de casos numa população pode não corresponder à prevalência real da doença), segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, actualmente, existem cerca de 220 milhões de pessoas doentes da diabetes e estima-se que, em 2030, este número duplique. Assim, o seu diagnóstico e tratamento precoce, bem como o diagnóstico e tratamento das suas complicações (nomeadamente, a cegueira, a insuficiência renal crónica - com terapêutica dialítica crónica, ou com transplante renal -, a amputação do(s) membro(s) inferior(es), a doença cardiovascular incapacitante e a mortalidade elevada) constituem actualmente o maior desafio para os profissionais de Saúde. A co-morbilidade mais associada à Diabetes é a aterosclerose e, consequentemente, a Doença Cardiovascular, havendo mesmo autores (Peter Savage) a afirmar que entre 2/3 a 3/4 dos doentes diabéticos irão, eventualmente, morrer de Doença cardiovascular. Desta forma, a Diabetes Mellitus tem vindo a manifestar-se como uma importante causa de Doença Cardiovascular na população. Assim sendo, várias organizações têm como objectivo comum focalizar a sua atenção na prevenção das complicações cardiovasculares da diabetes, isto porque recentes estudos confirmam e realçam que o risco absoluto de doença coronária, em pacientes com diabetes tipo 2, se aproxima do risco dos doentes não diabéticos, mas com patologia coronária pré-existente. Este quadro torna-se mais gravoso e o prognóstico mais sombrio, quando os doentes com Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 desenvolvem doença coronária clinicamente significativa. Por este motivo, surgem novos métodos preditivos (mais simples e fáceis de utilizar pelos profissionais da saúde e menos incómodos para os doentes), que visam detectar precocemente a doença aterosclerótica e a doença cardiovascular. Destas novas técnicas, destacam-se o “ABI – Anckel-Brachial Index”, em associação com o “baPWV – Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity”, e o “CAVI- Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index”. O mais recente índice, o CAVI, chega mesmo a ser considerado pelos médicos japoneses como o índice mais promissor de detecção precoce de doença aterosclerótica coronária.
Studying the NEW PREDICTIVE INDEX OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE,the CAVI, in diabetic patients was a challenge encouraged by the strong impact that the diabetes and the Cardiovascular Disease have on the current society. Thus, it was the goal of this study to approach the diabetes in a short way, as well as to give information about the new diagnosis technique of early detection of the cardiovascular risk, in vogue in the Japanese society nowadays. In addition, this study also intends to verify whether the indexes mentioned above may be applied to the diabetic population since this is the one that has greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Mellitus Diabetes is a clinical situation that, in spite of heterogeneous in its etiopathogenesis and even in its clinical manifestations, has been increasing in frequency all over the world. It is considered a disease in epidemic expansion mainly in developing and industrialized countries. Although it is still difficult to estimate the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (for being often this disease asymptomatic, the number of cases in a population may not correspond to the real prevalence of the disease), according to the World Health Organization, there are circa 220 million of people with diabetes at present, and it is estimated that this number will double in 2030. Thus, its early diagnosis and treatment, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of its implications (namely, blindness, chronic renal failure- with chronic dialytic therapy, or with kidney transplant -, the lower limb amputation, the disabling cardiovascular disease and high mortality) are the greatest challenge for Health professionals nowadays. The co-morbidity mostly associated to Diabetes is the atherosclerosis and, consequently, the Cardiovascular Disease. There are authors (Peter Savage) that even state that two thirds to three quarters of the diabetic patients are likely to die from the Cardiovascular Disease. So, MD has been appearing as an important cause of the Cardiovascular Disease in the population. Consequently, organizations aim at focusing their attention on the prevention of the cardiovascular implications of Diabetes. This happens because recent studies have confirmed and emphasised that the absolute risk of coronary disease in patients with Diabetes Type 2 is getting closer to the risk of non-diabetic patient with pre-existing coronary pathology. This profile becomes more serious and the prognosis more sombre when patients with MD2 develop clinically significant coronary disease. For this reason, new predictive methods (simpler and easier to be used by the Health professionals and less uncomfortable for the patients) appear aiming at the early detection of the atherosclerotic disease and the Cardiovascular Disease. Among these new techniques, the ABI– Brachial Ankle Index, in association with baPWV – Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity, and the CAVI- Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index stand out. Japanese doctors even consider that the most recent index, the CAVI, is the most promising index in the early detection of the coronary atherosclerotic disease.

Abstract:
Social inclusion following childhood acquired brain injury (ABI) has never before been researched. Related concepts, such as friendship and participation, have received attention during the last decade. However, these studies have mainly been small-scale quantitative efforts, relying on caregiver report and neglecting children's perspectives. This research aimed to explore the social inclusion of children with ABI from multiple perspectives and employing multiple methods. A second aim of the study was to ascertain if two current psychometric measures of social functioning could be utilised to capture the children's experiences of social inclusion. A purposive sample of nine children with ABI, mothers (n=9), teachers (n=9) and peers (n=100) were recruited through a charity in Northern Ireland. The children and their mothers participated in semi-structured interviews, which were analysed using Interpretative PhenomenologicaI Analysis. Analysis of the children's interviews generated five super-ordinate and nine subordinate themes, and focused on their experiences of social inclusion, rejection and conflict, and the personal impact of ABI on the self-concept and on coping. The analysis of the mothers' data yielded four super-ordinate and twelve subordinate themes, which described the impact of ABI on the family, the changes to the child, protection after ABI, and the child's return to social life. In addition to the interviews, children, mothers and teachers completed two psychometric measures of social functioning, the Child Behaviour Checklist and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The children's peers participated in a sociometric task, which aimed to act as a measure of their popularity among their classmates. A comparison of the findings of the psychometrics and the sociometric with the interview data revealed that the measures of social functioning do not adequately assess social inclusion in children following ABI. Subsequently, recommendations about the formulation of a new measure of social inclusion for children with ABI are made.

Abstract:
For individuals with an acquired brain injury (ABI) who have dependent children their ABI has the potential to impact upon their parenting abilities, skills and relationships. Parenting capacity is an important clinical issue supported by a wide body of existing literature and arises in many specialties, such as adult mental health, learning disabilities and forensics. In the field of ABI the issue of parenting capacity is less developed, yet it remains an important clinical issue. This systematic review examined the current state of knowledge about this within the ABI field and discovered the literature is, as yet, under developed, with little theory and no clear practice guidelines specific to brain-injured parents. Recommendations are made for the development of a parenting capacity assessment protocol for brain-injured parents. Additionally little research has been conducted to explore the effect ABI has on parenting. This empirical study aimed to qualitatively explore the experiences and needs of parents who have suffered an ABI in the last two years from their own perspectives. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the data, leading to the identification of 4 main themes: (1) Multiple Losses, (2) A mix of resigned acceptance and uncertain future (3) Giving and receiving support is part of the healing process, (4) Hopes and aspirations. The results supported the idea of a circular, bi-directional, 'pendulum like' process of movement between experiencing the multiple losses of their parental role and attempting to adapt and adjust to these changes. The clinical and research implications of the systematic review and empirical paper are discussed.

Abstract:
Few studies have explored emotion processing abilities in children following Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). This study develops previous research in this area by exploring emotion processing skills in children with focal ABI, using eye tracking technology. It was hypothesised that children with focal ABI would demonstrate impaired emotion recognition abilities relative to a control group and that, similar to adult eye tracking studies, they would show an atypical pattern of eye moments when viewing faces. Sixteen participants with focal ABI (10-16 years) and 27 healthy controls (10-16 years) completed one novel and one adapted visual emotion processing task, presented using a T120 Tobii eye-tracker. The eye-tracker measured eye-movement fixations in three areas of interest (AOIs; eyes, nose, mouth), as participants viewed the stimuli. Emotion perception accuracy was recorded. All participants from the ABI group also completed neuropsychological assessment of their immediate visual memory, visual attention, visuospatial abilities, and everyday executive function. The results of the study showed no significant difference in accuracy between the ABI and control groups. However, on average children with ABI appeared slightly less accurate than the control group in both emotion recognition tasks. Within-subjects analysis revealed no effect of lesion location and laterality or age at lesion onset upon emotion recognition accuracy. Eye tracking analysis showed that children within the ABI group presented with an atypical pattern of eye movements relative to the control group, demonstrating significantly greater fixation times within the eye region, when viewing disgusted, fearful angry and happy faces. The ABI group also showed reduced mean percentage fixation duration within the nose and mouth regions, relative to controls. Furthermore, it was observed that the ABI group took longer on average to give an accurate response to sad, disgusted, happy and surprised faces and this difference reached statistical significance for the accurate recognition of happy and surprised faces. It is suggested that the atypical fixation patterns noted within the ABI group, may represent a difficulty with dividing visual attention rapidly across the whole of the face. This slowing may have an impact upon functioning in everyday social situations, where rapid processing and appraisal of emotion is thought to be particularly important. It is therefore suggested that eye tracking technology may be a valuable method for the identification of subtle difficulties in facial emotion processing, following focal ABI in childhood, and may also have an application in the rehabilitation of these difficulties in future.

Abstract:
Recovery of movement and function of the upper limb post acquired brain injury (ABI) is problematic. Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) involves constraint of the less affected limb for 90% of waking hours for two or more consecutive weeks while intensively training the hemiplegic upper extremity using both physical and behavioural methods. Despite the robust evidence base for CIMT large gaps remain including two key issues which have emerged from two systematic reviews conducted within this thesis. Firstly the majority of research has not used the full multi component core CIMT protocol, and secondly the current level of CIMT implementation within the United Kingdom (UK) is unknown. A subsequent UK wide online survey was conducted to investigate therapist knowledge and application of CIMT in practice. Two main points were made; firstly the majority of therapists did not use CIMT (62.9% n==306) due 10 resource barriers and lack of training, and secondly those who did use CIMT, did not implement the whole package. A clinical feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT), incorporating standardisation methods to ensure treatment fidelity, was therefore conducted and confirmed that CIMT could be applied using a multi disciplinary approach in a UK clinical setting to the stroke and traumatic brain injury population (TBI). Success was highlighted by the high adherence rates and overall improved outcomes in terms of upper limb function and quality of life compared to those receiving conventional Bobath based upper limb therapy. This feasibility was further highlighted during a focus group study which described a therapist journey from an initial challenge stage to modelling in which therapists discussed the use of CIMT in their future practice. Overall this doctoral work has determined use, and barriers and subsequent enablers to CIMT implementation in the UK in addition to providing a feasible framework for delivering CIMT in the NHS setting.

Full text
Abstract:
A major factor in the success of Staphylococcus aureus as a pathogen is its vast arsenal of virulence determinants and, more importantly, the tight and precisely- timed regulation of these factors. Here we investigate the product of the S. aureus gene, SAUSA300_1984, encoding a putative transmembrane protein. This as yet uncharacterized protein belongs to the Abi (abortive infection) family, which are commonly annotated as CAAX-proteases, and are significantly understudied in prokaryotes. In S. aureus the disruption of SAUSA300_1984 results in a drastic reduction of proteolytic and hemolytic activity, as well as diminished pigmentation. This phenotype appears to be mediated through reduced agr expression, as determined by qPCR analysis. Importantly, known regulators of agr, such as CodY, MgrA, and ArlR, demonstrate no significant changes in transcription upon 1984 disruption, whilst major alterations were observed for downstream effectors of agr, such as sarS, RNAIII, rot and hla. Complementation and site-directed mutagenesis of 1984 demonstrated that proteolytic activity (via conserved EE residues) was not required for this phenotype, suggesting a potential protein-protein interaction mechanism of interaction. Proteome analysis of the 1984 mutant confirmed a number of our transcriptional observations, such as an increased abundance of Rot and surface associated proteins, as well as a marked decrease in Agr-system proteins levels, with the most striking being AgrB. Virulence profiling revealed a decreased ability of the 1984 mutant to evade constituents of the innate immune response, and impaired survival during murine models of infection. Given that SAUSA300_1984 is encoded 3 genes downstream of RNAIII, our current working hypothesis is that this Abi protein functions to control agr activity through communication with membrane components of this system, potentially via interaction with AgrB. Confirming this, and determining the upstream effectors of this regulatory system are studies currently ongoing in our laboratory.

Full text
Abstract:
Applications of the innovative, patented Stress-Strain Microprobe (SSM) system, that utilizes an in-situ nondestructive Automated Ball Indentation (ABI) test technique to determine fracture toughness of in-service steel pipelines, are described in this paper. The ABI test provides the actual/current values of fracture toughness properties for base metal, welds, and heat-affected-zones. The ABI-measured key mechanical properties are used with other nondestructive measurements, such as crack/defect sizes (determined from in-line smart pigs or from on-line ultrasound instruments), to determine the safe operating pressure of the pipeline or to necessitate certain rehabilitation actions. The ABI test is based on progressive indentation with intermediate partial unloadings until the desired/required maximum depth (maximum strain) is reached, and then the indenter is fully unloaded. The ABI test is fully automated (using a notebook computer, data acquisition system, and a servo motor), and a single test is completed in less than two minutes. This paper describes two recent field investigations. The first investigation assessed a catastrophic failure that occurred in a natural gas plant on a cold winter night shortly following the leak of liquid natural gas into a natural gas pipeline. The combination of cold temperature and high strain rate near a crack resulted in the destruction of approximately a 12-meter section of a 508-mm (20-inch) diameter pipeline into several hundred small pieces. Since the remaining pieces from the exploded pipeline section were not sufficient to machine destructive tensile and fracture toughness specimens, the SSM system was used to measure the tensile and fracture toughness properties from multiple ABI tests on several pipeline pieces. The ABI-measured tensile and fracture toughness results provided the basis for the fitness-for-service assessment of the remaining pipeline sections of the natural gas plant. The second application involved a fire that occurred due to a leak from a 356-mm (14-inch) diameter Kerosene pipeline. The fire-damaged section of the pipeline was cut out and replaced. As part of the effort to prevent future accidents, the entire 7-km pipeline needed a structural integrity assessment. In-Situ ABI tests were conducted to measure the tensile and fracture toughness properies, from each ABI test, for the fitness-for-service assessment since the carbon steel pipeline had undocumented grade.

Abstract:
Integrity of structural components depends on the deformation and fracture behavior of materials. For evaluating the material condition in-service, it is generally not feasible or practical or advisable to cut samples from operating structures. Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are required to evaluate the mechanical properties. Although several NDT techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic strength, Barkhausen noise, microhardness etc., are employed for estimating the mechanical property degradation, these methodologies are generally empirical and indirect. Automated Ball Indentation (ABI) is a non-destructive testing technique for direct measurement of mechanical and fracture properties of metallic engineering materials. Because of the small area over which the test is carried out, it is possible to determine point to point variations in the mechanical and fracture properties, such as those that exist in weldments. Although ABI technique is non-intrusive, it is a state-of-the-art mechanical test that measures directly the current/local deformation behavior of the material. In this paper, we present results from studies on the application of ABI technique to determine tensile and fracture properties of ferritic steels, an austenitic stainless steel, a nickel base superalloy and Zircaloy in different thermo-mechanical conditions. The effects of aging and cold work on these properties were determined from the ABI tests. Gradients in mechanical properties of ferritic steel welds, particularly in the narrow heat-affected zone, were clearly established. ABI technique was found to be useful in determining the anisotropy in the tensile properties of Zircaloy cladding tubes. The technique has potential as a non-destructive method for assessing structural integrity of aged components.

Abstract:
For patients with ineffective auditory nerve and complete hearing loss, Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) presents diversity of hearing sensations to help with sound consciousness and communication. At present, during the surgical intervention, surgeons use pre-operative patient images to determine optimal position of an ABI on cochlear nucleus on brainstem. When found, the optimal position is marked and mentally mapped by the surgeon. Next, the surgeon tries to locate the optimal position in patient’s head again and places the ABI. The aim of this project is to provide the surgeon with maximum clinical application accuracy guidance to store the optimal position for the implant, and to provide intuitive audio guidance for positioning the implant at the stored optimal position. By using three audio methods, in combination with visual information on Image-Guided Surgery (IGS), surgeon should spend less time looking at the screen, and more time focused on the patient.
