Abstract:

In March 1949, McKittrick described the use of the transmetatarsal amputation for the diabetic foot, along with specific indications. Infection, ischemia, and neuropathic ulcerations of the toes and forefoot were all treated with this procedure. In the past 30 years, however, advances in the management of these problems have led to a decrease in the number of transmetatarsal amputations performed at the New England Deaconess Hospital. With these advances, the current approach to the transmetatarsal amputation has changed, leading to significant modifications in the basic indications for this procedure.

Abstract:

A number of series have examined the influence of blood vessel invasion (BVI) by tumor on survival of patients with colorectal cancer; however, there are little data available regarding its influence on patterns of failure. In an effort to determine the influence of BVI on the patterns of failure and survival in colon cancer, a retrospective review of 294 patients who underwent potentially curative surgery at the New England Deaconess Hospital (NEDH) was performed. Patients whose tumors had BVI experienced a significant decrease in the 5-year actuarial survival rate. BVI had little impact on the patterns of failure in stage B2 disease, but a significant increase in total failure and local failure (as a component of failure) occurred in stage C2. However, when examined by proportional hazards analysis, BVI was found not to be an independent prognostic variable. For patients with stage C2 tumors, which are also BVI+, radiation therapy to the tumor bed might play a contributory role in overall management.

Abstract:

ImportanceDexmedetomidine is a widely used sedative in the intensive care unit (ICU) and has unique properties that may be associated with reduced occurrence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF).ObjectiveTo investigate whether the use of dexmedetomidine is associated with the incidence of NOAF in patients with critical illness.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis propensity score–matched cohort study was conducted using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database, which includes records of patients admitted to the ICU at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston dating 2008 through 2019. Included patients were those aged 18 years or older and hospitalized in the ICU. Data were analyzed from March through May 2022.ExposurePatients were divided into 2 groups according to dexmedetomidine exposure: those who received dexmedetomidine within 48 hours after ICU admission (dexmedetomidine group) and those who never received dexmedetomidine (no dexmedetomidine group).Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the occurrence of NOAF within 7 days of ICU admission, as defined by the nurse-recorded rhythm status. Secondary outcomes were ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, and in-hospital mortality.ResultsThis study included 22 237 patients before matching (mean [SD] age, 65.9 [16.7] years; 12 350 male patients [55.5%]). After 1:3 propensity score matching, the cohort included 8015 patients (mean [SD] age, 61.0 [17.1] years; 5240 males [65.4%]), among whom 2106 and 5909 patients were in the dexmedetomidine and no dexmedetomidine groups, respectively. Use of dexmedetomidine was associated with a decreased risk of NOAF (371 patients [17.6%] vs 1323 patients [22.4%]; hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.71-0.90). Although patients in the dexmedetomidine group had longer median (IQR) length of stays in the ICU (4.0 [2.7-6.9] days vs 3.5 [2.5-5.9] days; P &lt; .001) and hospital (10.0 [6.6-16.3] days vs 8.8 [5.9-14.0] days; P &lt; .001), dexmedetomidine was associated with decreased risk of in-hospital mortality (132 deaths [6.3%] vs 758 deaths [12.8%]; hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.36-0.52).Conclusions and RelevanceThis study found that dexmedetomidine was associated with decreased risk of NOAF in patients with critical illness, suggesting that it may be necessary and warranted to evaluate this association in future clinical trials.

Abstract:

From 1982 to 1991, 17 patients underwent a lower extremity arterial bypass to salvage an ischemic transmetatarsal amputation at the New England Deaconess Hospital. Eleven patients were male, and 16 had diabetes for an average of 29 years. The mean age was 71 years. Twelve patients presented with an ischemic ulcer, one had rest pain, and four underwent bypass for failure to heal a transmetatarsal amputation. Twelve patients presented with findings of secondary infection. All 17 patients underwent successful lower extremity bypass procedures to a variety of outflow vessels. Thirteen bypasses were to infrapopliteal arteries, including four to the dorsalis pedis artery. There were no perioperative deaths and all patients were discharged with patent grafts and healing limbs. Actuarial graft patency of the 14 vein grafts was 90% at 2 years. Actuarial limb salvage for the entire group was 93% at 2 years. Thirteen of the 14 patients who maintained patent grafts and healed their transmetatarsal amputations were ambulatory at their last known follow-up examination. Ischemic complications of previously created transmetatarsal amputations are uncommon. However, limb salvage attempts by lower extremity arterial bypass have a high likelihood of success. Major amputation in these patients should not be done without having first undergone a comprehensive vascular evaluation.

Abstract:

There is an ongoing debate about the nature of artifact association and the expression of living surfaces in New England and Maritime Provinces shell middens. I focus this debate on a single shell midden where supposedly Early Woodland styles of projectile points are associated with Middle Woodland ceramics. These findings suggest that either a revision of the New England and Maritime Provinces Woodland sequence is necessary, or that we should rethink our models of shell-midden formation processes.

Abstract:

Abstract. The role of glucokinase in the regulation of insulin secretion was examined in normal rat pancreatic islets and in chemically- and radiation-induced rat pancreatic B-cell tumours which show an impaired insulin secretory response to glucose. In normal rats glucokinase activity in cytoplasmic fractions of pancreatic islets was decreased with the duration of fasting and increased by refeeding or insulin administration. This observation is consistent with the induction of glucokinase by insulin. Hexokinase activity was only slightly reduced during fasting. Glucokinase activity decreased in cytoplasmic fractions of streptozotocin-nicotinamideinduced rat pancreatic islet cell tumours. Glucokinase activity contributed about 75% to the total glucose phosphorylation capacity in cytoplasmic fractions of normal pancreatic islets and of small (< 1 mg) streptozotocin-nicotinamide-tumours. This proportion decreased to about 20% in the large streptozotocin-nicotinamide tumours. Glucokinase activity in cytoplasmic fractions of transplantable radiation-induced NEDH (New England Deaconess Hospital) rat B-cell tumours was seven times lower than in normal pancreatic islets and contributed only 15% to the total glucose phosphorylation capacity. In contrast, hexokinase activity of the NEDH tumour B-cells was 2.5 times higher than normal. Decreased glucokinase activity in the chemically- and radiation-induced tumour B-cells appears to result from a loss of the ability of insulin to induce this enzyme and may explain the lack of insulin secretory responsiveness of these tumour B-cells.

Full text

Abstract:

In an effort to determine the patterns of failure and survival of colon cancer, a retrospective review of 294 patients who underwent potentially curative surgery at the New England Deaconess Hospital (NEDH) was performed. For the entire group, the 5-year crude survival rate was 68% and the actuarial rate was 80%. Survival decreased with increasing bowel wall penetration by tumor and the presence of lymph node metastasis. Although survival varied with the tumor site, none of the differences was statistically significant. Other variables, including the grade of adenocarcinoma, size, and the type of surgery had a significant impact on survival. Patterns of failure, expressed as the actuarial incidence of first diagnosed failure at 5 years, were examined by stage and site. There was a trend toward increased failure with increasing bowel wall penetration by tumor and the presence of lymph node metastasis. Abdominal failure, either as the only site or as a component of failure, was the most common type of failure. When compared by site, patients with cecal carcinoma had a significantly lower incidence of local and distant failure than patients with disease in other selected sites. No differences in patterns of failure were seen in patients with carcinomas in the mobile sections of the colon compared with those who had disease arising in the nonmobile sections of the colon. These data may be useful in identifying those patients who might benefit most from adjuvant therapy.

Full text

Abstract:

We evaluated the effects of spawning-stock size on the recruitment abundance of 11 groundfish stocks in waters off New England. Empirical patterns of association between spawning biomass and recruitment were investigated using nonparametric approaches. For most stocks, higher recruitment occurred at high stock sizes and lower recruitment at low stock sizes. Survival ratios, indexed by recruitment per unit of spawning biomass, were higher at low stock sizes and lower at high stock sizes-as expected under density dependence. To assess assumptions about recruitment dynamics, we analyzed constant-recruitment and compensatory and overcompensatory stock-recruitment models with uncorrelated and autocorrelated error structures, using Bayesian methods of statistical inference. Although no single model was adequate for all stocks, most groundfish had better than even odds of having density-dependent dynamics, and most had better than even odds of having dynamics with uncorrelated environmental variation. While some geographic and taxonomic differences in potential productivity were apparent, all stocks exhibited compensation in survival ratio at low stock sizes, albeit with substantial variation. These results indicate that conservation measures intended to increase the spawning biomass of New England groundfish will, on average, result in higher recruitment and, eventually, in increased and more stable fishery yields.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Understanding atmospheric drivers of river flow variability necessitates clear knowledge of the process chain linking climate and hydrology, yet the nature of such linkages remains poorly understood for the New England region of the northeastern United States. This research gap is addressed through a composite analysis of large-scale climatic controls on monthly high and low river flow in New England for 1958–2001, based on 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data. Analysis is focused on climate fields at the North Atlantic spatial scale, with particular attention given to the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). High (low) river flow is shown to be characterized by greater (lower) geopotential height throughout the year, and from December to April, higher (lower) temperature. Wind speed is inversely associated with river flow in all months, with wind direction more southerly (northerly) under high (low) flow situations. Relative vorticity differences reveal more cyclonic circulation centered downwind of New England under low river flow conditions (compared to high flow) from December to April. Reversal of river flow associations with temperature and vorticity in May are linked to snowmelt dynamics. Although cursory analysis suggests a positive association between the NAO and New England river flow, closer inspection reveals this to be less straightforward. River flow is more closely linked to the East Coast trough (rather than the Icelandic low and Azores high), while air temperature anomalies resemble the NAO–sea surface temperature rather than NAO–air temperature pattern.

Abstract:

Abstract. The growth and metabolic effects of a transplantable radiation-induced rat insulinoma were examined in intact male and female New England Deaconess Hospital (NEDH) rats, and in parathyroidectomised or adrenalectomised male NEDH rats. Subscapular transplantation of insulinoma fragments in intact male rats consistently produced a highly vascularised encapsulated tumour associated with hyperphagia, hyperinsulinaemia and hypoglycaemia which progressed to fatal neuroglycopaenic coma by 30 ± 0.8 days (mean ± sem) and 19 ± 0.5 days for slow-growing and fast-growing tumour sublines respectively (P <0.001). In intact female rats transplanted with the slow-growing subline, the onset of hyperphagia was advanced by 4 days and the severity of hyperinsulinaemia and hypoglycaemia increased (21% and 36%; P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively), resulting in a 10% decrease of survival time (P < 0.05) and a 65% reduction of tumour weight (P < 0.01). Transplantation of the fast-growing subline into parathyroidectomised male rats, which exhibited a 15–24% (P < 0.05 – < 0.01) decrease of plasma calcium, did not modify either the growth or metabolic effects of the tumour. In contrast, transplantation of this subline into adrenalectomised male rats decreased survival time by 32% (P < 0.001) and reduced final tumour weight by 88% (P < 0.02) without markedly affecting the onset or magnitude of the hyperinsulinaemia. These results indicate that the growth and metabolic effects of the transplantable NEDH rat insulinoma are modified by the presence of ovarian hormones and by adrenal hormones. However, plasma calcium homeostasis after parathyroidectomy did not disrupt the growth and metabolic effects of this tumour.

Abstract:

We surveyed temperate montane natural grasslands across the New England Tablelands Bioregion (NETB) and assessed the phytosociology, occurrence and threats to these assemblages. In total, 123 full floristic survey plots were placed within natural grasslands across the NETB. Mapping was undertaken within a subset of the NETB using ADS40 imagery. Analysis of the floristic data was performed using the Kulzynski association measure and UPGMA fusion strategy. Canonical correspondence analysis was performed with species data in association with 42 environmental variables. An estimated 25 000 ha of native tussock and sod tussock grasslands within six floristic assemblages were found within the NETB. The maximum extent of predicted high-quality stands may only be 2500 ha with most occurrences degraded and threatened by agricultural practices, exotic species and changes in above- and below-ground water resources. Native taxa were significantly associated with altitude, rock type and differential temperature tolerances. Altitude, eastness (longitude) and radiation of the wettest period were significant drivers of exotic species occurrence.

Abstract:

After a strong expansion across the United States, farmers markets’ (FMs) growth rate has declined in spite of policymakers’ interest in promoting them. In this study we model farmers’ participation in FMs and investigate what market factors affect FMs’ location using zip-code-level data for the New England states. Our results suggest that market size, education, presence of children in the household and SNAP participation lend to the establishment of FMs, more than income per se. Farming activities has a positive association with the likelihood of FMs, while proxies for establishment costs and the presence of traditional distribution channels may play a limiting role in their formation.

Abstract:

Objective.To retrospectively evaluate the association of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and malignancy in patients seen at 1 academic center over a 23-year period.Methods.Patients were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition (ICD-9) codes and diagnoses, then confirmed by chart review. Population cancer statistics obtained from the US Centers for Disease Control for Vermont and New Hampshire were used for comparison.Results.Chart review confirmed IIM in 198 of 483 patients initially identified by ICD-9 codes. Within 5 years of diagnosis with IIM, malignancy developed in 32 patients (16.2%), 24 of whom (75%) had dermatomyositis (DM). Malignancy and DM developed within 1 year in 75%. The cancer risk associated with DM was much greater than the risk associated with other IIM. The most frequent tumor types were breast, lung, pancreas, and colon. DM patients with cancer were more frequently male and ≥ 45 years of age than those without cancer. There were no cases of interstitial lung disease among patients with cancer and any form of IIM. The incidence of cancer was increased in patients with DM compared to age- and sex-matched population controls, both over a 5-year interval surrounding the diagnosis of DM and over the lifetime interval following diagnosis.Conclusion.The risk of cancer in IIM is concentrated among patients with DM. The association between DM and cancer was enhanced by its temporal relationship (< 1 year) in 87.5% of these cases. Patients with malignancy-associated DM were more frequently male and over age 45 and less likely to have interstitial lung disease.

Abstract:

Following a period of dramatic but largely unplanned expansion, government priorities for future growth include changing the pattern of demand for English higher education and widening participation in colleges and universities of all types. With reform of tuition fees tied to access agreements and new foundation degrees designed in association with employers, a diversity of institutional mission rather than formal stratification is the goal of post-binary policy. However, strategies to stimulate demand for new kinds of higher education are in tension with efforts to reduce disparities in participation in different parts of the system. In the case of England, it is argued, such policies prefigure a democratisation of access and a diversion of demand, albeit modest in scale and limited in reach.

Abstract The North East State Foresters Association (NEFA) commissioned a study that resulted in the publication of a report titled, “A Forest Resource Model of the States of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.” In this article we used the integrated NEFA computer simulation framework to go beyond the reported results and further explore the effects on the forest resource in terms of timber harvest, inventory, and price under various market and demand assumptions. Five scenarios were run through the integrated SRTS-ATLAS model to project long-run effects on timber inventory (growing stock) and price. Besides reflecting differing assumptions about demand and supply, these scenarios defined different markets, thus affecting how the wood harvest was allowed to move across the region in response to demand. Regionally, at the end of the 50 yr projection period, cubic-foot growth and harvest were approximately in balance in the Reference Case, the scenario that we felt was most likely. Initial inventory on all timberland was 66.7 billion ft3. By 2050, inventory volume increased 13% to 75.4 billion ft3. Net growth declined over the 50 yr period from 35.3 to 32.1 ft3 ac-1 yr-1, while harvest increased from 26.6 to 31.9 ft3 ac-1 yr-1. Regional real price increased approximately 1.1% yr-1 over the period. Changes in the resource situation in one state affect the situation in the other states. There is a mutual dependence in markets that policy makers need to recognize. The integration of a market module into the NEFA modeling process added the interplay of market forces and improved upon the policy information available from the model.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe article considers the rapid increase in the English market for alcohol and tobacco in the 1620s and the set of concurrent influences shaping their consumption. It suggests that intoxicants were not merely a source of solace for ‘the poor’ or the lubricant of traditional community, as historians often imply. Rather, the growth in the market for beer, wine, and tobacco was driven by those affluent social groups regarded as the legitimate governors of the English commonwealth. For men of a certain disposition and means, the consumption of intoxicants became a legitimate – indeed valorized and artful – aspect of their social identity: an identity encapsulated by the Renaissance concept of ‘wit’. These new styles of drinking were also implicated in the proliferation (in theory and practice) of ‘societies’ and ‘companies’, by which contemporaries meant voluntary and purposeful association. These arguments are made by unpacking the economic, social, and cultural contexts informing the humorous dialogue Wine, beere, ale and tobacco. Contending for superiority. What follows demonstrates that the ostensibly frivolous subject of male drinking casts new light on the nature of early modern social change, in particular the nature of the ‘civilizing process’.

Abstract:

This article examines variations among England, Wales, and Scotland in the association between social origin and educational attainment and the role that different national educational policies may have played in shaping these variations. The findings show that country variation in the association between origins and attainment was mostly or entirely due to variations in overall levels of attainment. Moreover, inequality was the highest where the proportions attaining a particular threshold were the highest—upper secondary school or higher in Scotland. The authors propose a refinement of Raftery and Hout's theory of maximally maintained inequality that takes into account that the trajectory of inequality is not linear: inequality can widen in the initial phase of expanding opportunity, en route to an eventual contraction, because the most advantaged groups are the first to exploit any new opportunities that policy changes offer. The results show that country differences in educational policy have not yielded different changes over time in the association between origin and educational attainment.

Abstract:

Abstract Two hybrid insulin-secreting cell lines (BRIN-BG5 and BRIN-BG7) were established by the novel approach of electrofusing RINm5F cells with New England Deaconess Hospital rat pancreatic islet cells. Cells were selected from the fusion mixture on the basis of insulin output. Wells showing five to ten times greater insulin output than parental RINm5F cells were selected, subcultured and cloned. Clonal BRIN-BG5 and BRIN-G7 cells grow as monolayers with epithelial morphology. The differences in doubling time of 28 and 20 h respectively were associated with morphological differences; the growth pattern and insulin content of each cell line remaining stable for over 50 passages. In acute 20-min tests, both cell lines showed peak secretory responses (1·9- and 1·8-fold respectively) to 8·4 mmol/l glucose. Membrane depolarization with 25 mmol/l K+ evoked 3·7- and 3·9-fold increases in insulin output. l-Alanine (10 mmol/l) also served to promote 2·4- and 1·6-fold increases in insulin release respectively. Increasing the Ca2+ concentration from 1·28 to 7·68 mmol/l potentiated this effect by 1·8- and 1·5-fold. Incubation with forskolin (25 μmol/l) or phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (10 nmol/l), in the presence of l-alanine, similarly enhanced the secretory effect on BRIN-BG5 and BRIN-BG7 cells by 1·3- to 2·1-fold and 1·2- to 1·5-fold respectively. The presence of a functional glucose-sensing mechanism in both cell lines was confirmed by the demonstration of the glucose transporter GLUT-2 and measurement of glucokinase activity. These functional properties suggest that insulin-secreting BRIN-BG5 and BRIN-BG7 cells represent two useful glucoseresponsive cell lines for future studies of the function of the pancreatic B-cell.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Diseases vectored by the tick species Ixodes scapularis have increased in incidence over the past 50 years and have been expanding into previously non-endemic areas. The emergence of Borrelia miyamotoi, a recently described spirochetal pathogen, has been less well documented than that of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. The objective of this study was to compare the geographic range of human exposure to B. miyamotoi and B. burgdorferi in New England, the pattern of their spatial expansion, and factors that influence their frequency. Methods Serum samples were collected from 11 study sites across New England. Age, gender, race, and residential zip code or county were recorded for each study participant and aggregate data analyzed by study sites, study site zones, and residential county for spatial analysis. Serum samples were tested for B. miyamotoi antibody using a multiplex Luminex assay and for B. burgdorferi antibody using a recently FDA approved two-tiered ELISA (Zeus ELISA Test Systems). Fischer exact tests and map visualizations in ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2 (Copyright ©2019 Esri Inc.) were used to determine spatial distribution of human B. miyamotoi and B. burgdorferi infection in New England. A logistic regression model was used to determine any association in seropositivity with tick-borne infection risk factors. Results B. burgdorferi seroprevalence was greater than that of B. miyamotoi at all but one study site. The average B. burgdorferi seroprevalence at all study sites was not quite double that of B. miyamotoi (mean 2.3% [0.6-6.2%] and mean 4.1% [2.2-7.5%], respectively). No longitudinal or latitudinal gradient was observed for B. miyamotoi or B. burgdorferi seroprevalence by study site zone or county analysis. Men were twice as likely as women to be seropositive for B. miyamotoi and B. burgdorferi. Conclusion Human exposure to B. miyamotoi and B. burgdorferi is highly dispersed throughout New England. B. miyamotoi seroprevalence is about half that of B. burgdorferi in New England. Additional studies are needed to explain the disparity between B. burgdorferi and B. miyamotoi infection and disease.

Abstract:

AbstractAn association of diverse hollow spines and dermal denticles (ichthyoliths) from the Carboniferous (Westphalian) of Todmorden, Yorkshire, England are attributed to a new genus of enigmatic shark that may lie close to Listracanthus Newberry & Worthen, 1870. Scanning electron microscopy shows that denticle morphology is highly variable, but forms a morphocline including elongate multi-spined elements as well as robust dome-like stellate denticles and recurved spinose elements. Histological analysis suggests an absence of enameloid. Continuous variation of form between elongate multi-cusped spines to boss-like circular denticles shows that all previously described Palaeozoic species of Listracanthus are probably junior synonyms of the type species L. hystrix Newberry & Worthen, 1870. The status of Listracanthus as a surviving ‘Lilliputian’ taxon after the Permian extinction is questioned. Although the new specimen has affinities with Listracanthus, significant differences in the form of the posterior spines on elongate denticles warrants its placement in the new genus Acanthorhachis gen. nov. The family Listracanthidae is erected to accommodate Listracanthus and Acanthorhachis.

Abstract:

Introduction: In an effort to help communities plan for their burgeoning aging population, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has facilitated community surveys to enable older adults to rate the current state of their own community for “aging in place.” This Focus Group Study extended the findings of the AARP Age-Friendly Community Survey in a small-sized New England City, adding to our knowledge of an older adult population. Aim: In order to elicit the points of view of older adults in one small New England city, six focus groups were conducted via Zoom during the height of the pandemic, from the spring and fall of 2020 on the topic of aging in place. Method: The six focus groups had a total of 32 participants, all of whom were 65 years and older and living in the same New England city. Results: The challenges to aging in place small New England city that the focus group participants described included: knowing where to get complete and reliable information about vital services, the barriers to walkability, and the challenge of transportation when one can no longer safely drive. Conclusion: The Focus Group Study extended the findings of the AARP Age-Friendly Community Survey in a small-sized New England City through the voices of the older adults which led to a more nuanced understanding of what it takes to age in place. The results of the study were utilized by the city in order to write an action plan as a guide to becoming more age-friendly.

Abstract:

Soil test P, K and pH were monitored on a monthly basis for two years in two P-rate grazing experiments on permanent pastures near Armidale, N.S.W. Highly significant fluctuations in time were observed for all soil tests at both sites. Components of variance derived from variance analyses indicated that temporal variation formed from 45-98% of the total random variance, depending on the soil test and site concerned. The relative magnitude of the temporal component did not vary substantially between fertilized and unfertilized plots. Correlation analyses did not establish any consistent association between soil test values and soil moisture index (SMI) or soil temperature, except for soil pH where positive and negative correlations, respectively, were found. Sampling efficiency analysis indicated that more than one sampling time would be required annually (or even bi-annually) to determine soil test means within acceptable confidence limits. Observation that the spatial component of variation was reduced in smaller plots suggests the use of small plots to monitor changes in soil fertility in large paddocks.

Abstract:

Dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) is a major turfgrass disease requiring fungicide application to maintain acceptable conditions for golf. A 2-year field experiment was conducted to determine the association between field efficacy of propiconazole and in vitro fungicide sensitivity of isolates from five S. homoeocarpa populations. Four golf courses with prior propiconazole exposure (Hartford Golf Club, Hickory Ridge Country Club, Shuttle Meadow Country Club, and Wintonbury Hills Golf Club), and a baseline site with no prior propiconazole exposure (Joseph Troll Turf Research Facility) were chosen as field sites. Experimental plots at each site received the following treatments at 21-day intervals: untreated, propiconazole (0.44, 0.88, 1.32, and 1.76 kg a.i. ha–1), and chlorothalonil (8.18 kg a.i. ha–1). S. homoeocarpa isolates were sampled at three time points during 2009 and 2010: initial (directly before fungicide treatment), 7 days after treatment (DAT), and 21 days after the last treatment. Isolates sampled from dollar spot infection centers at 7 DAT (2009 and 2010) were considered to exhibit “practical field resistance”. In parallel, S. homoeocarpa isolates from each site were assayed for in vitro sensitivity to propiconazole by determining relative mycelium growth percentages (RMG%) on potato dextrose agar amended with propiconazole at a discriminatory concentration of 0.1 μg a.i. ml–1. S. homoeocarpa isolates from the four exposed populations displayed significantly higher RMG% values than the baseline population. In general, field efficacy at all propiconazole rates tested was lower at the four locations with prior propiconazole exposure when compared with the baseline population. Increased RMG% values on the propiconazole discriminatory concentration 0.1 μg a.i. ml–1 were associated with decreased relative control values for all propiconazole rates in 2009 and 2010. Results suggest RMG values above 50% at the propiconazole discriminatory concentration of 0.1 μg a.i. ml–1 may be a suitable threshold for detection of S. homoeocarpa isolates that cause practical DMI field resistance.

Abstract:

AbstractChrisstanleyite, Ag2Pd3Se4, is a new mineral from gold-bearing carbonate veins in Middle Devonian limestones at Hope's Nose, Torquay, Devon, England. It is associated with palladian and argentian gold, fischesserite, clausthalite, eucairite, tiemannite, umangite, a Pd arsenide-antimonide (possibly mertieite II), cerussite, calcite and bromian chlorargyrite. Also present in the assemblage is a phase similar to oosterboschite, and two unknown minerals with the compositions, PdSe2 and HgPd2Se3. Chrisstanleyite occurs as composite grains of anhedral crystals ranging from a few µm to several hundred µm in size. It is opaque, has a metallic lustre and a black streak, VHN100 ranges from 371–421, mean 395 kp/mm2 (15 indentations), roughly approximating to a Mohs hardness of 5. Dcalc = 8.308 g/cm3 for the ideal formula with Z = 2. In plane-polarised reflected light, the mineral is very slightly pleochroic from very light buff to slightly grey-green buff; is weakly bireflectant and has no internal reflections. Bireflectance is weak to moderate (higher in oil). Anisotropy is moderate and rotation tints vary from rose-brown to grey-green to pale bluish grey to dark steel-blue. Polysynthetic twinning is characteristic of the mineral. Reflectance spectra and colour values are tabulated. Very little variation was noted in eleven electron-microprobe analyses on five grains, the mean is: Ag 25.3, Cu 0.17, Pd 37.5, Se 36.4, total 99.37 wt.%. The empirical formula (on the basis of ∑M + Se = 9) is (Ag2.01Cu0.02)∑2.03 Pd3.02Se3.95, ideally Ag2Pd3Se4. Chrisstanleyite is monoclinic, a 6.350(6), b 10.387(4), c 5.683(3) Å β 114.90(5)°, space group P21/m (11) or P21(4). The five strongest X-ray powder-diffraction lines [d in Å (I)(hkl)] are: 2.742 (100) (–121), 2.688 (80) (–221), 2.367 (50) (140), 1.956 (100) (–321,150) and 1.829 (30) (–321, 042). The name is in honour of Dr Chris J. Stanley of The Natural History Museum in London. The mineral and its name have been approved by the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names of the International Mineralogical Association.
