Background: Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg) use for Central Nervous System (CNS) conditions has increased over the last decade. In many CNS disorders, robust evidence for IVIg efficacy is still lacking. Building on the success of the British Columbia (BC) Neuromuscular IVIg utilization initiative, Guidelines for IVIg use in CNS conditions were developed. A provincial screening program was launched in 2023. Methods: For CNS IVIg, requests, diagnosis, dosing, consultation letters and treatment questionnaires were reviewed. Patient management was compared to provincial guidelines. A letter was sent to the ordering physician with the results of the review and treatment recommendations when management differed significantly from guidelines. Review of the first year’s cases was conducted. Results: Over the first 11 months of the program, 79 IVIg renewal requests were reviewed. The most common diagnoses were antibody mediated autoimmune encephalitis, severe drug resistant non-surgical epilepsy and Susac’s syndrome. Recommendations included dose reduction, discontinuation of IVIg, or initiation of alternative therapies for many of the requests. Conclusions: IVIg may be effective in the management of some CNS inflammatory conditions. A physician-led utilization program in BC with targeted education to ordering physicians promotes best practice. Review of year one data will inform a quality improvement cycle to optimize the guidelines.

A Miocene porphyry belonging to the sheshonite association contains 7 cm sanidine megacrysts in a groundmass of microphenocrysts of labradoritebytownite, augite, sporadic hastingsite, magnetite, sphene, K feldspar, apatite, Ca zeolite and calcite. The megacrysts (Or78–94) are enriched in BaO (≃ 2.0 wt%) and SrO relative to the groundmass. Although mineralogr and texture suggest that the megacrysts were suspended in a liquid, now represented by the groundmass, calculated liquid densities except for dry melts are less than those observed for the megacrysts and it is concluded that the original magma contained very little water. It possibly originated in a subduction zone with the main hycration taking place at shallow levels of intrusion during contact with groundwater. This produced zeolitization of the feldspars and may have played a part in the K enrichment at the margins of the sanidine megacrysts.

We report on the analysis of virtual powder-diffraction patterns from serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) data collected at an X-ray free-electron laser. Different approaches to binning and normalizing these patterns are discussed with respect to the microstructural characteristics which each highlights. Analysis of SFX data from a powder of Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 in this way finds evidence of other trace phases in its microstructure which was not detectable in a standard powder-diffraction measurement. Furthermore, a comparison between two virtual powder pattern integration strategies is shown to yield different diffraction peak broadening, indicating sensitivity to different types of microstrain. This paper is a first step in developing new data analysis methods for microstructure characterization from serial crystallography data.

Summary
Nuclear power had its origins over half a century ago, during the Cold War. Some eight years after the first nuclear reactors for plutonium production had begun operation in the USA, as part of the Manhattan Project, the first reactor to produce electricity entered service in late 1951 (EBR-1, in Idaho, USA). Just two years later, in 1953, President Eisenhower made his famous “Atoms for Peace” proposal, which effectively launched commercial nuclear power generation and led to the formation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The spread of nuclear power was slow during the early 1950s, with only the USA, the Soviet Union and the UK having operating power reactors by 1958. In 1959, France and Germany began their nuclear power operations. Nuclear power plants (NPPs) began real commercial development in the early 1960s, led by the Pressurized Water Reactor design (PWR, originally developed for submarine propulsion units), and there was a rapid spread worldwide during the 1970s and 1980s (Figure 1.1). By the mid 1980s, although the number of NPPs being put into operation was at its peak (in 1985, when 42 NPPs were brought into operation), nuclear power was actually entering a marked decline. In 1986, further development of the nuclear industry essentially stopped in many European countries, primarily caused by reaction to the Chernobyl accident in the former Soviet Union (Ukraine).
However, other nations continued expansion, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region and, although the average number of NPPs commissioned each year since 1990 has only been about five, what has been called a worldwide “nuclear renaissance” was considered to be underway in the early years of the present century.

In August 1988 an increase was noted in the number of cases of cryptosporidiosis identified by the microbiology laboratory at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. By 31 October, 67 cases had been reported. Preliminary investigations implicated the use of one of two swimming pools at a local sports centre and oocysts were identified in the pool water. Inspection of the pool revealed significant plumbing defects which had allowed ingress of sewage from the main sewer into the circulating pool water. Epidemiological investigation confirmed an association between head immersion and illness. The pools were closed when oocysts were identified in the water and extensive cleaning and repair work was undertaken. The pool water was retested for cryptosporidial oocysts and found to be negative before the pool re-opened.

An experiment to measure the variation in the phenological and apical development ofwinter wheat (cv. Avalon) in England and Scotland is described. Ten sites which ranged from Aberdeen (57·2° N), the most northerly, to Newton Abbot (50·6° N), the most southerly, were included in the survey, and at each site seed was hand-sown in mid-September, October and November 1983. Developmental stages and sampling procedures were precisely defined to ensure uniformity in scoring by the observers at each site. Temperatures during the growing season were in line with the long-term means, though spring was cooler at all sites and summer warmer at most. The range of monthly-mean temperatures between sites was about the same as the difference between consecutive months. The method of analysis of development rates and durations was in terms of thermal time, modified by sensitivity to photoperiod and a vernalization requirement that slowed early development until a number of days of low temperatures had been experienced. In general, crops at northern sites developed more slowly than those in the south and particularly the south-west of England. There was less variation in the timing of apical stages for later sowings. Developmental rates responded linearly to temperature and photoperiod, with the base temperature increasing for later phases of development. The effect of photoperiod in modifying the rate of development was apparent for all developmental phases from emergence to anthesis, longer days accelerating development, but there was no effect on the duration of the grain-filling period. Vernalization exerted its effect solely within the phase from emergence to double ridge, and had a major influence on the variation between sites only for the first sowing.

The English HCV lookback programme has identified some individuals with transfusion-transmitted HCV infection. The path from the collection of donations from HCV-infected donors to the identification of infected recipients was constructed. The probability of different outcomes at each branch was derived from data collected during this programme. This path of probabilities was then used to produce a complete estimate of the number of recipients infected by blood transfusions (dead and alive at the end of 1995) by re-entry of blood components that fell out of the lookback at various steps prior to recipient testing, and entry of components from HCV-infected donations that were never identified for lookback. Less than 14 000 recipients were estimated to have been infected with HCV during the decade prior to the start of donation testing. Over 60% of these were expected to have died by the end of 1995. Transfusion has infected a large group of individuals. However, this group constitutes a very small, and declining, proportion of all HCV infections in the population.

Two layer co-sputtered Bi over In thin films (40 nm/layer) act as a microfabrication resist with many potential applications. Their physical, chemical and optical characteristics change after laser exposures that produce a rapid thermal anneal in selected areas. Unlike organic photoresists, Bi/In is a bimetallic thermal resist whose sensitivity shows a near wavelength invariance for wavelengths from Near IR to UV. The laser-induced patterns are developed by an etch that selectively removes unexposed areas and retains converted ones. The optical density (OD) of 40 nm thick Bi/In films on quartz substrates, for example, changes from 3.3 OD to 0.37 OD in the annealed area. This has enabled the creation of direct-write photomasks for standard photoresist exposures. In this paper, the composition, morphology, and nanostructure of the resist before and after laser processing were studied in order to determine the mechanism of the laser-induced material conversion. AFM, XRD, and TEM show that the as-deposited films are polycrystalline, continuous, but with a rough, island morphology. Furnace anneals in air above the eutectic temperature (150–250°C, 3 hours) result in the formation of the tetragonal phase BiIn with a small degree of oxidation. The island morphology is maintained but there is evidence of melting and recrystallization. Transparency is much lower than after laser annealing. RBS and NRA depth profile analysis show that Bi/In films exposed to laser annealing in air contain a large fraction of oxygen and suggest that the converted film may be a BiIn0.6O6 /Bi0.3InO6 bilayer.
