Abstract:
A study on the phylogenetic relationship of Bangladeshi Skink confirmed species as Eutropis multifasciata by Bayesian inference (BI) (100%) and 98% node support to maximum likelihood (ML) tree topology, respectively. The sequence divergences between Eutropis multifasciata and other congeneric species were significant, ranging from 0.1 to 13.6% for 16S rRNA. Intraspecific genetic divergence within E. multifasciata was estimated 10.3%. E. multifasciata formed a distinct clade with high posterior probability support. This maiden study on Bangladeshi Skink results support that one monophyletic subgroup containing all specimens of E. multifasciata and all recently recognized E. multifasciata populations have evolved from one common ancestor.

Abstract:
Lord Howe Island (LHI) is a remote oceanic island in the south-west Pacific that is World Heritage listed due to its diverse, and largely endemic, biota. A suite of introduced species have colonised the island, resulting in the widespread population declines of many native species. The delicate skink (Lampropholis delicata DeVis) was accidentally introduced to LHI from mainland eastern Australia, but there has been no detailed investigation of its biology on the island, or its potential impact on the native biota. We conducted a detailed study of the distribution and biology of the delicate skink on LHI over a six-year period (2007–12). The delicate skink was introduced to LHI in the 1980s, and rapidly spread across the island. It presently occurs in all 21 low-elevation vegetation communities on LHI. The delicate skink is diurnal on LHI, and displays seasonal variation in activity with a peak in November–December. The delicate skink exhibits sexual dimorphism with females having larger body and abdomen sizes and males having longer and broader heads, although the degree of genetic admixture may influence morphology on LHI. Females reproduce in spring and summer (September–February), with a positive relationship between body size and clutch size. Clutch size ranges from 1 to 7 (mean 3.4) and communal egg nests (11–200+ eggs) are common. Tail loss is common on LHI (55%), but is more frequent in adults and females. We conclude that, based on its distribution and abundance, the delicate skink has the potential to impact the diverse and endemic invertebrate fauna on LHI.

Abstract:
AbstractMost documented declines of tropical reptiles are of dramatic or enigmatic species. Declines of widespread species tend to be cryptic. The early (1900s) decline and extinction of the common Pacific skink Emoia impar from the Hawaiian Islands is documented here through an assessment of literature, museum vouchers and recent fieldwork. This decline appears contemporaneous with the documented declines of invertebrates and birds across the Hawaiian Islands. A review of the plausible causal factors indicates that the spread of the introduced big-headed ant Pheidole megacephala is the most likely factor in this lizard decline. The introduction and spread of a similar skink Lampropholis delicata across the islands appears to temporally follow the decline of E. impar, although there is no evidence of competition between these species. It appears that L. delicata is spreading to occupy the niche vacated by the extirpated E. impar. Further confusion exists because the skink E. cyanura, which is very similar in appearance to E. impar, appears to have been introduced to one site within a hotel on Kaua'i and persisted as a population at that site for approximately 2 decades (1970s–1990s) but is now also extirpated. This study highlights the cryptic nature of this early species extinction as evidence that current biogeographical patterns of non-charismatic or enigmatic reptiles across the Pacific may be the historical result of early widespread invasion by ants. Conservation and restoration activities for reptiles in the tropical Pacific should consider this possibility and evaluate all evidence prior to any implementation.

Abstract:
The foraging behaviour of the endangered Australian skink (Liopholis slateri) was investigated through detailed observation of a subpopulation of lizards during seven months of sampling. Slater’s skinks primarily exhibited ambush predation, darting from burrow entrances to distances of up to 4 m with a success rate of ~70%. The direction of darting was often straight ahead and almost always in an 180° arc in front of the burrow entrance. Juveniles foraged more frequently and further from burrows than adults. Ants were the most common prey item taken and juveniles targeted small ants as prey more often than adults and often moved further to capture these prey. The spread of introduced buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) in central Australia in recent decades is a possible contributing factor to the decline of L. slateri. A wide field of view appears to be critical for the success of the sit-and-wait foraging strategy employed by the skinks and additional research is required to determine whether further encroachment of buffel grass around burrow systems will impede visibility and directly affect foraging behaviour of these skinks.

Abstract:
The diverse skink fauna of New Zealand comprises 40 described species within the single genus Oligosoma Girard, 1857. Cryptic species are common among New Zealand skinks, leaving numerous species undescribed. We used molecular phylogeny together with morphological analyses to distinguish four species in the spotted skink, Oligosoma lineoocellatum (Duméril & Duméril 1851), species complex. These are O. lineoocellatum sensu stricto, which is confined to the centre of the South Island, O. prasinum sp. nov. from the Lake Tekapo region, O. elium sp. nov. from the northern half of the South Island, and O. kokowai sp. nov. from the northern South Island, Cook Strait, and the North Island. Despite significant genetic differences, the morphological similarity of these species made it challenging to resolve their taxonomic identity. Three of the four species previously recognised as a single, widespread taxon are now recognised as threatened with extinction by a combination of invasive predatory mammals and land use change.

Full text
Abstract:
Abundance, distribution and habitat preferences of the lizard species present on Motunau Island, off the Canterbury coast of New Zealand, were investigated. The aim of the study was to investigate the extent to which recent vegetation change on Motunau Island has effected the lizard community and what implications this has for the future management of the Island. Three species of lizard occur on Motunau Island; the common gecko (Hoplodactylus maculatus), common skink (Oligosoma nigriplantare polychroma) and spotted skink (O. lineoocellatum). Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were present on the island from 1862 until their eradication in 1962. Since then, vegetation on the island has changed from being tussock-dominated to being dominated by exotic weeds. Data from lizard pitfall trap surveys carried out in 1967-75 by Tony Whitaker of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) were compared with new pitfall trapping data to determine if changes in the lizard population had occurred in response to these vegetation changes. The abundance of O. n. polychroma and H. maculatus does not appear to change significantly. The distribution of these two species were significantly correlated but neither showed any preference for a particular type. The abundance of O. lineoocellatum was significantly greater in 1996/97 than in the earlier DSlR surveys. This could be a result of the vegetation becoming more open and more structurally complex since the early surveys. This would offer greater opportunities for O. lineoocellatum (which is strongly heliothermic) to thermoregulate and forage. O. lineoocellatum showed no consistent significant preference towards any habitat type, although they tended to be found more in 'margin' habitat. Research into pitfall trapping and the way lizard behaviour may influence pitfall trapping data needs to be undertaken as there is a possible trap bias in this study. Management of Motunau Island needs to ensure that a structurally complex environment is maintained to ensure high numbers of all three lizard species can continue to coexist.

Abstract:
One of the most important roles of the skin is the formation of an effective barrier to prevent desiccation as well as to keep out foreign pathogens and allergens. This is a tightly regulated process and involves many structural proteins, lipids, enzymes and biochemical components. One of the proteins that has an indispensable role in barrier formation is filaggrin, which is encoded by the filaggrin gene (FLG) that lies within a cluster of epidermal genes known as the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) on chromosome 1q21. Recent studies in Europe have shown that null mutations in FLG lead to the loss of the filaggrin protein; this is the underlying genetic cause of ichthyosis vulgaris (IV) and is a significant predisposing factor for atopic dermatitis (AD) and other atopic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and food allergy. In this thesis, the critical role of FLG-null mutations was examined and confirmed as a strong predisposing factor for AD in Singaporean Chinese patients. In addition, AD patients with FLG mutations also showed an increased susceptibility for recurrent skin infections. Interestingly, a diverse and wide spectrum of FLG-null mutations was identified in the Singaporean Chinese population, as opposed to the dominance of a few common FLG mutations in Europe. This result highlighted discrete genetic variations between different ethnic groups. FLG-null mutations were also shown to have significant gene modifying effects on other skin barrier genes such as steroid sulphatase gene (STS) to exacerbate the phenotype of X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). Next, the effect of FLG¬-null mutations on other complex conditions such as acne vulgaris and childhood peanut sensitisation was investigated but no significant association of FLG mutations with these diseases were observed in the Singaporean Chinese population. Lastly, a study was attempted to search for a candidate gene for psoriasis within the EDC, through the use of fine mapping techniques. With the advent of faster and cheaper next generation sequencing (NGS) in the near future, the quest for susceptibility factors in complex traits will increase in effectiveness and speed.

Abstract:
The objectives of this study were threefold: to determine the prevalence of skin diseases among primary school children in the UAE; to assess the ability of the primary health care physicians (PCPs) to diagnose skin diseases; and to plan a dermatological education program for children of the UAE. An epidemiological survey included the clinical examination of selected school children by two quantified dermatologists and the relationships between the prevalence of skin diseases and a range of hygiene and socioeconomic factors were examined.1536 Local schoolchildren aged 6-9 years were included. The prevalence of common skin diseases in the children was 19%. The most common skin diseases included: dermatitis (8.1%), viral diseases (3.8%), and pigmentation disorders (1.7%). Selected skin diseases showed significant associations with a range of socioeconomic and hygiene factors on multivariate analyses. Physicians were better at correctly diagnosing common skin diseases compared with the less frequent, or rare skin diseases. Finally, PCPs with specific training in dermatology showed more ability to diagnose a range of skin diseases compared with those with no relevant training. Based on the results of this study, an improvement in socioeconomic and personal hygiene conditions along with the initiation of pertinent educational programs for children, patients and teachers may reduce the prevalence of some skin disorders. Important aspects of such dermatological health care programs are proposed. In addition, specific dermatological training for PCPs should be considered to increase their ability to diagnose and manage common skin diseases in children.

Full text
Abstract:
The skin is a common route of infection for many viruses, but is a mechanically tough tissue resistant to environmental insults and therefore refractory to viral propagation. Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) are skin-tropic viruses causing chickenpox and warts respectively. This thesis shows that although divergent, these viruses exploit a common pathway to hijack epidermal terminal differentiation. Both viruses degrade the structural protein keratin 10 (K10). I show this was achieved by the up-regulation of the protease Kallikrein 6 (KLK6), which caused up-regulation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2. MDM2 bound and ubiquitinated K10 targeting K10 for degradation. In VZV infection, inhibition of MDM2/K10 binding by Nutlin-3 prevented K10 degradation and was sufficient to reduce viral growth and cell-host damage in VZV-infected epithelial cells and prevent blister formation in VZV-infected skin explants. Genes that were dysregulated in response to VZV infection and restored by Nutlin-3 were identified. One of these, the nuclear receptor subfamily 4, group A, member 1 (NR4A1) was up-regulated in keratinocytes expressing low levels of K10. In NR4A1 knockdown keratinocytes VZV growth was reduced and the autophagy marker LC3 was down-regulated, while the lysosomal marker LAMP2 was up-regulated, indicating that NR4A1 induces autophagy while also blocking the late stages of the autophagic flux. We postulate that autophagy is exploited by VZV to form autophagy-based viral factories for viral replication. This thesis also shows that NR4A1 is not up-regulated in HPV infection whereas it is up-regulated in a model of HSV-1 infected organotypic epidermis. KLK6 and MDM2 are up-regulated and K10 down-regulated in this model of HSV-1 infection. This thesis therefore describes a novel pathway, readily inhibited by small molecule inhibitors, used by highly diverse skin-tropic viruses to promote viral propagation and also identifies in NR4A1 the point where this pathway diverges between alphaherpesviruses and cutaneous HPVs.

Abstract:
Marginal zone (MZ) lymphomas (MZLs) represent a group of lymphomas originating from B lymphocytes of the “marginal zone” which is the external part of the secondary lymphoid follicles. The WHO classifies MZL into 3 entities; extranodal MZL, splenic MZL and nodal MZL. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) can arise in different tissues, including the stomach, salivary gland, lung, small bowel, thyroid, ocular adnexa and skin. We present a 25 years old female with a history of angioedema and chronic cutaneous eczema who developed an unusual EMZL. Patient presented with a history of rapidly enlarging skin nodule on her left elbow that had been present for almost one year. Over a period of 2-3 weeks she felt the nodule rapidly changed in size and shape. Excisional biopsy of the mass revealed a lymphoid infiltrate based in the reticular dermis and focally extending into the subcutaneous adipose tissue with formation of disrupted lymphoid follicles positive for CD20, CD23 and BCL2 but negative for CD10, Cyclin D1 and SOX11. Diagnosis was consistent with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). Patient on presentation did not have any B symptoms other cutaneous lesions, lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. PET scan revealed no evidence of abnormal uptake leading to a final Stage IE definition. Patient initiated definitive radiation therapy. EMZL accounts for 5 -10 % of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It has been described often in organs that are normally devoid of germinal centers. It may arise in reactive lymphoid tissue induced by chronic inflammation in extranodal sites. Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) is associated with infectious etiologies such as Borrelia burgdorferi and less commonly with viral infections or in relation to autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune disorders, specifically Sjögren's syndrome is associated with a 30-fold increased risk of marginal zone lymphoma. Localized disease can be treated by local radiotherapy, intralesional injections or excision. Widespread skin disease is usually treated with a CD20 directed monoclonal antibody-Rituximab. Patients with PCMZL usually have an indolent clinical course. Extracutaneous dissemination of MALT Lymphoma is uncommon and happens in 6-8 % of patients. The 5 years overall survival is between 98-100%. Family physicians and dermatologists should have a high index of suspicion for this rare lymphoma subtype especially in patients with inflammatory chronic skin conditions and atopy.

Full text
Abstract:
The current study presents an induction heating system design for fiber optics pipes joints. Remote heating methods are probably inconvenient due to non-uniform heat distribution resulting in unreliable joints. The induction heating generates uniform heat distribution which can be achieved by proper designing of inductive heating coil, and power system inverter that drives the induction system. Two different shaped open jaw type heating coils were designed i.e open claw type coil (OCTC) and curved spiral rectangular coil (CSRC). The coils were designed in COMSOL simulation software to check the coil and workpiece behaviours. These coil designs were then wounded by hand and resistance and inductance of each coil were measured. The OCTC is a short loop coil, having small inductance while the CSRC has a long loop so its inductance is high. CSRC design was selected in the current application. The CSRC inductance was calculated through modified Wheeler formula and current sheet approximation. To design the power inverter, firstly the power density of heating material i.e workpiece was calculated. Then the thermal losses of the coil were calculated, these losses were due to skin effect and proximity effect; and switch losses due to drain to source resistance(RDS) of Mosfets were estimated. The Mazzilli inverter was proposed for power system inverter design which works as a parallel resonant circuit. It was designed in Mandi simulation software and then implemented on hardware. Theoretical results were compared with the practical measurements through Matlab software. Coil efficiency, power inverter efficiency and overall system efficiency were also calculated. This induction heating method for fiber optics joints is repeatable, consistent, generates uniform heat and is more convenient for site-specific heat generated on workpiece. It is portable, user friendly and environmental friendly as well.

Abstract:
The T-joint is a common joint type frequently used in transport industries because of the importance of increasing the inertia and strength of thin skins and shells without significant weight increase. This shape can be obtained by different processes as extruding, riveting, welding or others. However, the low weldability of some aluminum alloys, when using traditional welding processes, is an obstacle to the possible full benefit of such reinforced structures. The friction stir welding (FSW) process is suitable to join most aluminum alloys and should be considered as a feasible alternative to the other processes used to produce this type of geometry. This paper reports the results obtained concerning FSW T-joints with a new configuration. These joints simulate a typical reinforcement composed by two materials in order to optimize the damage tolerance. The skin is made of a 6xxx series alloy, and the reinforcement is made of a 7xxx series alloy. Mechanical properties were obtained and micro-structural analyses of the weld zone were performed, and the results were compared with those obtained in base materials and butt joints.

Abstract:
Gait analysis is an area within biomechanics that quantifies the motion of an animal. The most common motion analysis method uses cameras to track the position of markers on bodily surfaces over time. Although each species has a common skeletal frame to reference recorded motions, the soft tissue covering each is not rigid. Markers, therefore, experience motion relative to the bone and do not accurately portray underlying bone activity. This limits clinical use of motion studies and the understanding of joint motion.

A survey of the levels of Campylobacter spp. contamination and prevalence of selected antimicrobial resistance determinants in fresh whole UK-produced chilled chickens at retail sale (non-major retailers).

Abstract:
Campylobacter spp. are the most common bacterial cause of foodborne illness in the UK, with chicken considered to be the most important vehicle for this organism. The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) agreed with industry to reduce Campylobacter spp. contamination in raw chicken and issued a target to reduce the prevalence of the most contaminated chickens (those with more than 1000 cfu per g chicken neck skin) to below 10 % at the end of the slaughter process, initially by 2016. To help monitor progress, a series of UK-wide surveys were undertaken to determine the levels of Campylobacter spp. on whole UK-produced, fresh chicken at retail sale in the UK. The data obtained for the first four years was reported in FSA projects FS241044 (2014/15) and FS102121 (2015 to 2018). The FSA has indicated that the retail proxy target for the percentage of highly contaminated raw whole retail chickens should be less than 7% and while continued monitoring has demonstrated a sustained decline for chickens from major retailer stores, chicken on sale in other stores have yet to meet this target. This report presents results from testing chickens from non-major retailer stores (only) in a fifth survey year from 2018 to 2019. In line with previous practise, samples were collected from stores distributed throughout the UK (in proportion to the population size of each country). Testing was performed by two laboratories - a Public Health England (PHE) laboratory or the Agri-Food & Biosciences Institute (AFBI), Belfast. Enumeration of Campylobacter spp. was performed using the ISO 10272-2 standard enumeration method applied with a detection limit of 10 colony forming units (cfu) per gram (g) of neck skin. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to selected antimicrobials in accordance with those advised in the EU harmonised monitoring protocol was predicted from genome sequence data in Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates The percentage (10.8%) of fresh, whole chicken at retail sale in stores of smaller chains (for example, Iceland, McColl’s, Budgens, Nisa, Costcutter, One Stop), independents and butchers (collectively referred to as non-major retailer stores in this report) in the UK that are highly contaminated (at more than 1000 cfu per g) with Campylobacter spp. has decreased since the previous survey year but is still higher than that found in samples from major retailers. 8 whole fresh raw chickens from non-major retailer stores were collected from August 2018 to July 2019 (n = 1009). Campylobacter spp. were detected in 55.8% of the chicken skin samples obtained from non-major retailer shops, and 10.8% of the samples had counts above 1000 cfu per g chicken skin. Comparison among production plant approval codes showed significant differences of the percentages of chicken samples with more than 1000 cfu per g, ranging from 0% to 28.1%. The percentage of samples with more than 1000 cfu of Campylobacter spp. per g was significantly higher in the period May, June and July than in the period November to April. The percentage of highly contaminated samples was significantly higher for samples taken from larger compared to smaller chickens. There was no statistical difference in the percentage of highly contaminated samples between those obtained from chicken reared with access to range (for example, free-range and organic birds) and those reared under standard regime (for example, no access to range) but the small sample size for organic and to a lesser extent free-range chickens, may have limited the ability to detect important differences should they exist. Campylobacter species was determined for isolates from 93.4% of the positive samples. C. jejuni was isolated from the majority (72.6%) of samples while C. coli was identified in 22.1% of samples. A combination of both species was found in 5.3% of samples. C. coli was more frequently isolated from samples obtained from chicken reared with access to range in comparison to those reared as standard birds. C. jejuni was less prevalent during the summer months of June, July and August compared to the remaining months of the year. Resistance to ciprofloxacin (fluoroquinolone), erythromycin (macrolide), tetracycline, (tetracyclines), gentamicin and streptomycin (aminoglycosides) was predicted from WGS data by the detection of known antimicrobial resistance determinants. Resistance to ciprofloxacin was detected in 185 (51.7%) isolates of C. jejuni and 49 (42.1%) isolates of C. coli; while 220 (61.1%) isolates of C. jejuni and 73 (62.9%) isolates of C. coli isolates were resistant to tetracycline. Three C. coli (2.6%) but none of the C. jejuni isolates harboured 23S mutations predicting reduced susceptibility to erythromycin. Multidrug resistance (MDR), defined as harbouring genetic determinants for resistance to at least three unrelated antimicrobial classes, was found in 10 (8.6%) C. coli isolates but not in any C. jejuni isolates. Co-resistance to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin was predicted in 1.7% of C. coli isolates. 9 Overall, the percentages of isolates with genetic AMR determinants found in this study were similar to those reported in the previous survey year (August 2016 to July 2017) where testing was based on phenotypic break-point testing. Multi-drug resistance was similar to that found in the previous survey years. It is recommended that trends in AMR in Campylobacter spp. isolates from retail chickens continue to be monitored to realise any increasing resistance of concern, particulary to erythromycin (macrolide). Considering that the percentage of fresh, whole chicken from non-major retailer stores in the UK that are highly contaminated (at more than 1000 cfu per g) with Campylobacter spp. continues to be above that in samples from major retailers more action including consideration of interventions such as improved biosecurity and slaughterhouse measures is needed to achieve better control of Campylobacter spp. for this section of the industry. The FSA has indicated that the retail proxy target for the percentage of highly contaminated retail chickens should be less than 7% and while continued monitoring has demonstrated a sustained decline for chickens from major retailer stores, chicken on sale in other stores have yet to meet this target.
