The first demonstration of laser action in ruby was made in 1960 by T. H. Maiman of Hughes Research Laboratories, USA. Many laboratories worldwide began the search for lasers using different materials, operating at different wavelengths. In the UK, academia, industry and the central laboratories took up the challenge from the earliest days to develop these systems for a broad range of applications. This historical review looks at the contribution the UK has made to the advancement of the technology, the development of systems and components and their exploitation over the last 60 years.

Dietary indices have been related to risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) predominantly in white populations. The present study evaluated this association in the ethnically diverse Multiethnic Cohort and examined four diet quality indices in relation to T2D risk, homoeostatic model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and biomarkers of dyslipidaemia, inflammation and adipokines. The T2D analysis included 166 550 white, African American, Native Hawaiian, Japanese American and Latino participants (9200 incident T2D cases). Dietary intake was assessed at baseline using a quantitative FFQ and T2D status was based on three self-reports and confirmed by administrative data. Biomarkers were assessed about 10 years later in a biomarker subcohort (n 10 060). Sex- and ethnicity-specific hazard ratios were calculated for the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010), the alternative HEI-2010 (AHEI-2010), the alternate Mediterranean diet score (aMED) and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH). Multivariable-adjusted means of biomarkers were compared across dietary index tertiles in the biomarker subcohort. The AHEI-2010, aMED (in men only) and DASH scores were related to a 10–20 % lower T2D risk, with the strongest associations in whites and the direction of the relationships mostly consistent across ethnic groups. Higher scores on the four indices were related to lower HOMA-IR, TAG and C-reactive protein concentrations, not related to leptin, and the DASH score was directly associated with adiponectin. The AHEI-2010 and DASH were directly related to HDL-cholesterol in women. Potential underlying biological mechanisms linking diet quality and T2D risk are an improved lipid profile and reduced systemic inflammation and, with regards to DASH alone, an improved adiponectin profile.

The alternate Mediterranean diet (aMED) score is an adaptation of the original Mediterranean diet score. Raw (aMED) and energy-standardised (aMED-e) versions have been used. How the diet scores and their association with health outcomes differ between the two versions is unclear. We examined differences in participants’ total and component scores and compared the association of aMED and aMED-e with all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality. As part of the Multiethnic Cohort, 193 527 men and women aged 45–75 years from Hawaii and Los Angeles completed a baseline FFQ and were followed up for 13–18 years. The association of aMED and aMED-e with mortality was examined using Cox’s regression, with adjustment for total energy intake. The correlation between aMED and aMED-e total scores was lower among people with higher BMI. Participants who were older, leaner, more educated and consumed less energy scored higher on aMED-e components compared with aMED, except for the red and processed meat and alcohol components. Men reporting more physical activity scored lower on most aMED-e components compared with aMED, whereas the opposite was observed for the meat component. Higher scores of both aMED and aMED-e were associated with lower risk of all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality. Although individuals may score differently with aMED and aMED-e, both scores show similar reductions in mortality risk for persons scoring high on the index scale. Either version can be used in studies of diet and mortality. Comparisons can be performed across studies using different versions of the score.

OBJECTIVE
To determine the impact of total household decolonization with intranasal mupirocin and chlorhexidine gluconate body wash on recurrent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection among subjects with MRSA skin and soft-tissue infection.
DESIGNThree-arm nonmasked randomized controlled trial.
SETTINGFive academic medical centers in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
PARTICIPANTSAdults and children presenting to ambulatory care settings with community-onset MRSA skin and soft-tissue infection (ie, index cases) and their household members.
INTERVENTIONEnrolled households were randomized to 1 of 3 intervention groups: (1) education on routine hygiene measures, (2) education plus decolonization without reminders (intranasal mupirocin ointment twice daily for 7 days and chlorhexidine gluconate on the first and last day), or (3) education plus decolonization with reminders, where subjects received daily telephone call or text message reminders.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESOwing to small numbers of recurrent infections, this analysis focused on time to clearance of colonization in the index case.
RESULTSOf 223 households, 73 were randomized to education-only, 76 to decolonization without reminders, 74 to decolonization with reminders. There was no significant difference in time to clearance of colonization between the education-only and decolonization groups (log-rank P=.768). In secondary analyses, compliance with decolonization was associated with decreased time to clearance (P=.018).
CONCLUSIONSTotal household decolonization did not result in decreased time to clearance of MRSA colonization among adults and children with MRSA skin and soft-tissue infection. However, subjects who were compliant with the protocol had more rapid clearance

OBJECTIVE
To identify risk factors for recurrent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization.
DESIGNProspective cohort study conducted from January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2012.
SETTINGFive adult and pediatric academic medical centers.
PARTICIPANTSSubjects (ie, index cases) who presented with acute community-onset MRSA skin and soft-tissue infection.
METHODSIndex cases and all household members performed self-sampling for MRSA colonization every 2 weeks for 6 months. Clearance of colonization was defined as 2 consecutive sampling periods with negative surveillance cultures. Recurrent colonization was defined as any positive MRSA surveillance culture after clearance. Index cases with recurrent MRSA colonization were compared with those without recurrence on the basis of antibiotic exposure, household demographic characteristics, and presence of MRSA colonization in household members.
RESULTSThe study cohort comprised 195 index cases; recurrent MRSA colonization occurred in 85 (43.6%). Median time to recurrence was 53 days (interquartile range, 36–84 days). Treatment with clindamycin was associated with lower risk of recurrence (odds ratio, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.29–0.93). Higher percentage of household members younger than 18 was associated with increased risk of recurrence (odds ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00–1.02). The association between MRSA colonization in household members and recurrent colonization in index cases did not reach statistical significance in primary analyses.
CONCLUSIONA large proportion of patients initially presenting with MRSA skin and soft-tissue infection will have recurrent colonization after clearance. The reduced rate of recurrent colonization associated with clindamycin may indicate a unique role for this antibiotic in the treatment of such infection.

The distribution and biology of two related species of mosquito, Mansonia (Mansonioides) africana (Theo.) and M. (M.) uniformis (Theo.), have been compared. M. uniformis is found from China to Africa, whereas M. africana is restricted to the continent of Africa. The two species do not interbreed although mating, but no insemination, is possible in the laboratory. Strains of M. uniformis from Africa, Ceylon and Malaya are interfertile, but crosses between the African and the other strains, especially, showed a reduction in fertility of the eggs produced and thus some evidence of speciation.
The two species show the same adult behaviour at mating, feeding (both in the field and in the laboratory) and during oviposition. Both species are stenogamous and mate readily in small cages. The first blood-meal is taken approximately 24 hours after emergence and immediately after each oviposition, 3–5 days after the previous blood-meal. M. uniformis is more active directly after the blood-meal.

A technique is described for maintaining colonies of mosquitos belonging to the genus Mansonia, subgenus Mansonioides, which have root-piercing larvae and pupae. The colonies are maintained in the absence of living plants. The females lay their eggs on discs of wet-strength crepe paper floating on the surface of water in small 10 × 6–cm. containers. Sheets of the same paper, 14 × 10 cm., stand vertically in the larval infusion bowls and the larvae attach themselves to, and pupate on, these sheets of paper, which contain air spaces. The papers are changed three times a week and this ensures an adequate air supply for the aquatic stages. The larval infusion is produced by soaking pellets of a proprietary animal-diet (Diet 18) in water, at the rate of 20 g. pellets per 1,500 cc. tap water, allowing to stand 3–7 days and using diluted 1:5 with water. The infusion in each larval bowl is stabilised by a block of turf, and yeast is added three times a week; this ensures a continuous supply of micro-organisms on which the larvae feed. The pupae are removed whilst still attached to the sheets of paper, these being transferred to covered bowls, containing tap water and a turf block, in which the adult mosquitos emerge. Pupal mortality is found to be about 40 per cent. With this technique, monthly production of adults has averaged about 2,000 and 1,300 in two insectaries, but has continued to fluctuate between wide limits. The fluctuations have not shown seasonal periodicity, but the numbers produced per month in the two insectaries are correlated significantly, although the insectaries are managed independently. This may reflect variations in the balance of micro-organisms in the standard nutrient infusions used, which could affect mortality amongst firstinstar larvae.

The synthetic attractant pheromone 6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide in a formulation of 20 mg containing 5 mg of the active (−)-(5R,6S)-isomer in an effervescent tablet produced a high, positive overall response by gravid females of Culex quinquefasciatus Say when the mosquitoes were exposed to the pheromone in established breeding sites in western Kenya. Significantly more females (82%) oviposited around the pheromone source compared to a control. The activity of the pheromone persisted in the established breeding place for four days after application. The addition of the insect growth regulator S-31183 (2-[1-methyl-2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethoxy]pyridine) to the formulation did not affect the activity of the pheromone. Newly-made breeding sites exposed domestically were not attractive initially for oviposition by gravid females but, after 18 days, they became more attractive. Trays treated with synthetic pheromone diverted females from similar unbaited trays exposed within 10 m. A sample of larvae taken from a site treated with pheromone and insect growth regulator showed 100% mortality by the pupal stage. Thus, the efficacy of the pheromone has been demonstrated for the first time in the field and the possibility of using this material in combination with a ‘safe’ insecticide confirmed.

Gravid females of Culex quinquefasciatus Say from a laboratory strain originating in Nigeria orientated to a source of the main volatile pheromone component, erythro-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, isolated from the apical droplets of the egg rafts. Significantly more egg rafts were laid around polystyrene discs treated with the synthetic compound than around untreated discs, and modification of the chemical structure destroyed its biological activity. The response was found at a dose of 0·02μg of the synthetic compound, which is equivalent to one-sixteenth of the total acetoxyhexadecanolide found in an egg raft, and above. Although the apical droplets were contaminated by bacteria, these did not contribute to the production of the acetoxyhexadecanolide, which was present in the eggs before they were laid. It is concluded that the pheromone is released slowly from the apical droplets into the air above the water surface, attracting other gravid females to oviposit around previously laid egg rafts, and there is evidence of attraction over a distance of 5·5 cm.
Abnormal development of a filarial worm, Brugia patei (Buckley, Nelson and Heisch), in a mosquito host, Anopheles labranchiae atroparvus van Thiel

The morphology of abnormal development of the filarial worm Brugia patel in a mosquito host, Anopheles labranchiae atroparvus, is described. Development was very variable, from little growth beyond the microfilarial stage to the complete development of two infective stage larvae in one mosquito. The majority of larvae developed beyond the microfilarial stage but integrated differentiation did not occur. In the most bizarre larval development, the intestinal and the rectal cells prolapsed and then attempted to differentiate outside the body of the filarial larva. It is concluded that the abnormal development of the filarial larvae in this mosquito host is due to the host reaction elicited by the developing larvae, apparent as melanisation 48–78 hours after ingestion by the mosquito, often localised specifically over the excretory and anal vesicles.

1. The filarial worm Brugia patei was brought to London from East Africa in the larval stage developing in Mansonia mosquitoes. Subsequent transmission to domestic cats was possible in London through a laboratory colony of Mansonia uniformis and the worm was very infective to this species of mosquito. The worm was much less infective to Aedes togoi and Anopheles gambiae.
2. Subsequent passage of the worm through Aedes togoi has increased its infectivity to this species of mosquito. The infection rate has risen from 43·6% in females of A. togoi fed on the cat original- ly infected by larvae from Mansonia mosquitoes, to 59·2% in females fed on a cat containing the first generation of worms to pass through A. togoi, to 79·1% in females fed on cats containing the second generation of worms to pass through A. togoi, to 86·7% in females fed on cats containing the third generation of worms to pass through A. togoi, to 89·8% in females fed on cats containing the fourth generation of worms to pass through A. togoi.
3. The distributions of infective stage larvae in female mosquitoes were negative binomial distributions. These were related to the distributions of microfilarial intake immediately after infection which were also negative binomial. From one generation of worms passed through the new mosquito host to the next the mean and the k value of the negative binomial of the infective stage larvae approached the same parameters for the distribution of microfilarial intake. By the fourth generation of worms passed through A. togoi the distributions of microfilarial intake and infective stage larvae developing in A. togoi were similar, suggesting close adaptation to the new mosquito host. A similar relation between these distributions was found originally in Mansonia. There were however considerable differences in these distributions between the two species of mosquito.
4. The experiment extended over a period of 6 years. The change in infectivity did not appear to be related to the microfilarial density, age of infection, or sex, in the mammalian host. Neither could it be related to the genetics of susceptibility in the mosquito, nor to mosquito culture techniques, nor to mosquito mortality.
5. It is concluded that the observed change in infectivity is best explained by a change in adaptation of the worm to the new intermediate host by selection within the mosquito of those microfilariae adapted to it. No major change in infectivity to the original intermediate host, Mansonia, was found during the experiment.
6. These findings are examined with reference to changes in adaptation to mosquito hosts in the history of Bancroftian filariasis.

1. The intake of microfilariae of Onchocerca volvulus in two series of females of Simulium damnosum fed on an infected human volunteer in West Africa and dissected after staining in London was from 0–171 microfilariae per female in one series and from 0–152 microfilariae per female in the other series. The distribution of microfilariae per female became more normal when plotted on a geometric scale.
2. The migration of the microfilariae was followed in the two series of flies by comparing the geometric (Williams) mean numbers of microfilariae in the stomach, abdomen, thorax and head, from 2 minutes to 48 houis after engorgement on blood. Microfilariae left the blood meal rapidly after engorgement, 40–50% leaving the stomach within the first 60 minutes.
