Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, typically progressive immune-mediated disease characterized by inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS), and is associated with a wide range of neurological, physical, and psychosocial effects. For people living with MS, access to relevant, timely, and accessible health information and resources may contribute to effective illness management, psychosocial health, and quality of life (QOL). In this study, we sought to increase understanding of the specific types of information most wanted by people with MS, as well as the sources and effects of this information. Specifically, we surveyed 748 adults with MS about (a) the sources from which they obtain information about MS, (b) the type of information that is most important in terms of improving their QOL, and (c) specific topics about which they would like to have more information, services, or resources. Content analysis of the qualitative results demonstrated the diversity of information sources accessed by people with MS and the importance of providing information through different formats and media. The participants prioritized information related to new MS medications and treatments, physical and mental health and wellness, and local opportunities for support. Implications for practicing rehabilitation counselors are discussed.

Seven half-day regional listening sessions were held between December 2016 and April 2017 with groups of diverse stakeholders on the issues and potential solutions for herbicide-resistance management. The objective of the listening sessions was to connect with stakeholders and hear their challenges and recommendations for addressing herbicide resistance. The coordinating team hired Strategic Conservation Solutions, LLC, to facilitate all the sessions. They and the coordinating team used in-person meetings, teleconferences, and email to communicate and coordinate the activities leading up to each regional listening session. The agenda was the same across all sessions and included small-group discussions followed by reporting to the full group for discussion. The planning process was the same across all the sessions, although the selection of venue, time of day, and stakeholder participants differed to accommodate the differences among regions. The listening-session format required a great deal of work and flexibility on the part of the coordinating team and regional coordinators. Overall, the participant evaluations from the sessions were positive, with participants expressing appreciation that they were asked for their thoughts on the subject of herbicide resistance. This paper details the methods and processes used to conduct these regional listening sessions and provides an assessment of the strengths and limitations of those processes.

Herbicide resistance is ‘wicked’ in nature; therefore, results of the many educational efforts to encourage diversification of weed control practices in the United States have been mixed. It is clear that we do not sufficiently understand the totality of the grassroots obstacles, concerns, challenges, and specific solutions needed for varied crop production systems. Weed management issues and solutions vary with such variables as management styles, regions, cropping systems, and available or affordable technologies. Therefore, to help the weed science community better understand the needs and ideas of those directly dealing with herbicide resistance, seven half-day regional listening sessions were held across the United States between December 2016 and April 2017 with groups of diverse stakeholders on the issues and potential solutions for herbicide resistance management. The major goals of the sessions were to gain an understanding of stakeholders and their goals and concerns related to herbicide resistance management, to become familiar with regional differences, and to identify decision maker needs to address herbicide resistance. The messages shared by listening-session participants could be summarized by six themes: we need new herbicides; there is no need for more regulation; there is a need for more education, especially for others who were not present; diversity is hard; the agricultural economy makes it difficult to make changes; and we are aware of herbicide resistance but are managing it. The authors concluded that more work is needed to bring a community-wide, interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complexity of managing weeds within the context of the whole farm operation and for communicating the need to address herbicide resistance.

Water samples taken from extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) devices used at University Hospitals Birmingham yielded high total viable counts (TVCs) containing a variety of microorganisms, including M. chimaera. Disinfection resulted in the reduction of TVCs and eradication of Mycobacterium chimaera. Weekly disinfection and water sampling are required to manage the water quality in these devices.

Oxyfluorfen (0.28, 0.42, 0.56, and 0.84 kg ai ha−1) under clear polyethylene film was evaluated for weed control, crop injury, and effects on yields in transplanted muskmelon, cucumber, and summer squash. Numerous narrowleaf and broadleaf weeds were effectively suppressed by 0.42 ha−1 of oxyfluorfen. Crop injury, occurring soon after transplanting, was reported in New York and North Carolina. Injury was usually transient, and injured crops frequently grew more vigorously than those grown on untreated black polyethylene mulch. Muskmelons were consistently the most tolerant of the three crops. At high rates, yields of squash and cucumber in 1988 were reduced in New York and North Carolina, respectively. In greenhouse studies, positioning the cotyledons under the polyethylene film caused greater injury in all three crops than when cotyledons remained above the plastic.

Background
There is a known high prevalence of genetic and clinical syndrome diagnoses in the paediatric cardiac population. These disorders often have multisystem effects, which may have an important impact on neurodevelopmental outcomes. Taken together, these facts suggest that patients and families may benefit from consultation by genetic specialists in a cardiac neurodevelopmental clinic.
ObjectiveThis study assessed the burden of genetic disorders and utility of genetics evaluation in a cardiac neurodevelopmental clinic.
MethodsA retrospective chart review was conducted of patients evaluated in a cardiac neurodevelopmental clinic from 6 December, 2011 to 16 April, 2013. All patients were seen by a cardiovascular geneticist with genetic counselling support.
ResultsA total of 214 patients were included in this study; 64 of these patients had a pre-existing genetic or syndromic diagnosis. Following genetics evaluation, an additional 19 were given a new clinical or laboratory-confirmed genetic diagnosis including environmental such as teratogenic exposures, malformation associations, chromosomal disorders, and single-gene disorders. Genetic testing was recommended for 112 patients; radiological imaging to screen for congenital anomalies for 17 patients; subspecialist medical referrals for 73 patients; and non-genetic clinical laboratory testing for 14 patients. Syndrome-specific guidelines were available and followed for 25 patients with known diagnosis. American Academy of Pediatrics Red Book asplenia guideline recommendations were given for five heterotaxy patients, and family-based cardiac screening was recommended for 23 families affected by left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
ConclusionGenetics involvement in a cardiac neurodevelopmental clinic is helpful in identifying new unifying diagnoses and providing syndrome-specific care, which may impact the patient’s overall health status and neurodevelopmental outcome.

The 1830s was Nova Scotia's “Age of Reform.” Although historians have documented the growing tensions between elected Assembly and appointed lieutenant governor and Council, the concomitant attacks on the established economic elite, and the rise of a distinct party in colonial politics, little attention has been paid to the role played by the colony's courts and judges in this crucial decade. This lacuna is surprising, because reformers were convinced that the judges of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court (NSSC) were bulwarks of the old order and barriers to progress, and as their movement gained influence in the 1830s it brought the judges and the court system to the fore. This period saw numerous proposals for reform to the colony's laws and legal system, some effected and others not. Here we examine those aspects of the reform platform that were most hotly contested precisely because they exemplified the ways in which controversies about the legal system both reflected and exacerbated broader political and social change. The most important issues were judicial fees and the role of the chief justice as head of the Tory-dominated lieutenant governor's Council. We also examine two other matters in which the judicial system was directly linked to reformers' general demands for a system of government more responsive to the needs of ordinary Nova Scotians: judicial salaries and the role of the lower civil courts.

Summary
The glassy blue surface of the Bismarck Sea shimmered beneath a cloudless sky, the morning mist gone ‘as though wiped away’ by the sun. Major-General Kane Yoshihara, the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Eighteenth Army, was aboard the destroyer Tokitsukaze, part of a fifteen-vessel convoy afloat on the Bismarck Sea, headed for Lae. Although Tokitsukaze translated as ‘favourable wind’, the weather would do the Japanese convoy no favours on this morning. Yoshihara was below deck discussing debarkation procedures with the troops when disaster struck from the sky. The destroyer then stopped dead in the water, ‘as though the ship had struck a rock’. By the time he reached the deck, a bewildered Yoshi-hara could see that only half the convoy vessels were left afloat and, like the Tokitsukaze, smoke billowed skywards from most of them, signifying their fate.
By the end of February 1943 World War II was at a turning point. In the European theatre the German army on the eastern front had been decisively defeated at Stalingrad and was in retreat, desperately trying to hold back the Soviet tide. In North Africa it was a similar story for the German army as the British and American armies approached Tunisia. In the Atlantic Ocean the crucial battle for control of the convoy routes over the marauding U-boats was approaching its climax while in the skies above Western Europe Allied air power was remorselessly gaining the upper hand.

Summary
On 3 July Herring had met with MacArthur and obtained permission to deploy a second battalion from Colonel MacKechnie's 162nd Regiment to Nassau Bay. Two days later Herring met with Major-General Fuller, the 41st Division commander, to discuss the possibility of moving that second battalion north to Tambu Bay to secure that area for the deployment of artillery. Herring, a former gunner, appreciated that artillery emplaced at Tambu Bay could be used to support the attack on Salamaua.
The 3/162nd Battalion began landing at Nassau Bay on 6 July. The battalion commander was 50-year-old Major Archibald B. Roosevelt, the fourth child of the late US president, Theodore Roosevelt. Serving as a first lieutenant with the US 1st Division during World War I, Major Roosevelt had been thrice wounded and awarded the French Croix de Guerre. Due to his age and his previous discharge with disability, Roosevelt was exempt from active service in World War II, but he had successfully lobbied his cousin, the incumbent US president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, for permission to undertake active service.
On 12 July a separate command, Coane Force, was created to drive north as directed by Herring. Coane Force was commanded by Brigadier-General Ralph W. Coane, the commander of the 41st Division artillery. The 51-year-old Coane had enlisted in the army in 1918, had served in France on active service and after the war had served as an artillery officer in the Californian National Guard.

Summary
The Salamaua campaign began as the Kokoda campaign ended and ended as the Markham–Ramu Valley campaign began. In scale, it was the largest commitment by the Australian army in New Guinea up to that time and during a period when the war against Japan was still in the balance. In the end it was a diversion, a feint for the subsequent operation to seize Lae, a magnet to draw the Japanese away from the main game. Yet it involved some of the most intense and drawn-out fighting of the entire war, undertaken on a battlefield of the devil's choosing.
From the northern crest of Mount Tambu there is a view to die for, and many men did. Below are the ridges marching down to the Francisco River, much like the gnarled fingers of a claw, a claw that held three armies in its grasp for much of 1943. If not for the deep green canopy it could be the broken terrain of Gallipoli, your eyrie as Chunuk Bair. Beyond the ridge and the river, the shimmering blue sea of the Huon Gulf beckons like the Dardanelles. Like the craggy ranges above Anzac Cove, it is as absurd a place to fight a battle as you could find.
The battles here are little known and seldom mentioned; the dead and those who endured deserve better. This story is theirs.

Summary
Following the abortive attacks on the Pimple, Captain Tatterson's A Company had moved to Lababia Ridge, a thousand metres to the south. Tatterson's company was well under strength with only 65 men being available. It was another 400 metres back to Lababia base camp, which was held by a platoon from D Company. At 0815 on 9 May a booby trap went off in front of Tatterson's positions astride Laws Track on Lababia Ridge. Aware that tree branches often set off the traps, Corporal Charlie Broad-bent rang back to headquarters saying that it was ‘probably another branch. Will let you know.’ It would be three days before Broadbent would again be able to contact headquarters. As further reports came in of movement around the right flank, the company stood to. Firing broke out, and soon all of the forward positions were engaged; supporting artillery fire being brought down in front of the Australian positions. However, this attack was a feint, disguising moves to either flank of the Australian position. The main attack came in on the left.
To better support Tatterson, Major O'Hare sent up a forward observation officer, Lieutenant Roy Caterson, with a party of signallers. However, the signal line soon went dead as the Japanese got in behind the Australian position. Late in the afternoon, a report came in from Sergeant Clarrie Hubble that the reinforcing platoon was under heavy attack and was pulling back, leaving Tatterson cut off.

Summary
General Milford's 5th Division was advancing on Salamaua on three fronts, the third of which was the coastal route along Scout Ridge. On 30 August Milford moved Lieutenant-Colonel Jack Amies's 15th Battalion on to the coastal flank of the American 162nd Regiment with orders that ‘the crest of Scout Ridge must be secured at all cost and with least possible delay’. Captain Don Provan's D Company moved across Roosevelt Ridge that night.
This use of the 15th Battalion was much to the chagrin of the 29th Brigade's commander, Brigadier Monaghan, as the 15th was one of his three battalions but it had been retained under the direct control of 5th Division. Milford later noted, ‘I could not commit the 15 Bn anywhere west of Scout Ridge because they could not be supplied’, but this caused Monaghan to ‘go off the deep end’.
The service numbers of Lieutenant Doug Matthew and his brother George were consecutive; they had joined up together. Having served with the 2/5th Battalion in the Middle East, both men had been commissioned and transferred to the 15th Battalion and both now commanded a platoon, George with 14 Platoon and Doug 18 Platoon. Early on 31 August Doug Matthew led his platoon up the precipitous slopes to the kunai-clad Bamboos position, a separate feature from that on Davidson Ridge. This was the position where D and E Ridges intersected just before joining Scout Ridge.

Summary
The primary objective of Operation Doublet was to capture Mubo and link up with the Americans advancing from Nassau Bay. The Allies would then advance to Goodview Junction, Mount Tambu and the adjoining ridges down to the coast, but not beyond that line. Although Operation Doublet included attacks by the Americans on the coastal flank and 15th Brigade on the western flank, the proposed axis of advance would be that of 17th Brigade. Savige later wrote how his former brigade would be ‘my spearhead in the attack and my clenched fist to drive home success’.
Brigadier Moten had planned to commence the 17th Brigade operation against Mubo on 5 July but, due to the delays with Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor's US 1/162 Battalion moving inland from Nassau Bay, it was delayed until 7 July. Meanwhile the 2/5th Battalion moved up from Wau to participate in the operation. Three companies, A and B Companies from the 2/6th and C Company from the 2/5th, would take part in the first phase of the attack: to take Observation Hill overlooking Mubo. On the afternoon of 6 July Captain Jo Gullett took B Company down on to a small plain at the foot of Observation Hill where they gathered alongside Captain Mick Stewart's and Captain Bill Morse's companies. A rough hospital had been built by the natives, and a pile of wooden crosses sat nearby. ‘I hope they've sent enough,’ Lieutenant Ernie Price wryly observed.

Summary
The six-month military campaign conducted in Papua between July 1942 and January 1943 by the Australian army, with help from the United States, saw some of the famous battles of Australian military history. These included the fighting retreat on the Kokoda Trail, the defence at Isurava, the battle at Milne Bay, the counter-offensive over the Kokoda Trail culminating in the victory at Oivi-Gorari and the gruelling battles at Buna, Gona and Sanananda.
Then, seven months later, the Australian army began a series of spectacular military operations in New Guinea. On 4 September 1943 the 9th Australian Division landed from the sea near the town of Lae. Next day the 7th Division began to arrive by air at the captured airstrip at Nadzab, and together the divisions closed in on Lae. Less than a month later the 9th Division carried out another amphibious landing, at Finschhafen, and the battles there ended with the seizure of the Japanese mountain stronghold at Sattelberg. Meanwhile, with the assistance of daring work by Australian commandos and American transport aircraft, the 7th Division advanced up the Markham and into the Ramu Valley. This thrust finished with the successful capture of Shaggy Ridge early in 1944. The campaign was an outstanding orchestration of the land, sea and air forces of two countries.
