A 57-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and no prior psychiatric history presented repeatedly over 6 months with mental and behavioural changes. Laboratory tests, chest X-ray and sleep study diagnosed an infective exacerbation of COPD, type II respiratory failure and OSA. Differential diagnoses included delirium, primary mania in bipolar affective disorder or organic pathology causing secondary mania. Oxygen, steroids, bronchodilators, antibiotics and non-invasive ventilation were administered to treat his infection and respiratory failure. However, blood gas analysis showed persistent hypoxia and hypercarbia, aggravating his ongoing mental state disturbance that required security supervision and sedation with antipsychotics and benzodiazepines. Sudden onset of classic manic symptoms and multiple presentations suggested secondary mania, driven by chronic hypoxia in end-stage COPD and OSA. The challenge was establishing a balance between mental state control and treatment of physical illness.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The majority of obese adults do not become obese until adulthood. Although adults spend the equivalent of a 40-hour work week in front of the television (TV), there are mixed data on whether the sedentary behavior of TV viewing is linked with weight gain during adulthood. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations among sedentary behavior, measured as TV viewing and TV in the bedroom, with eating behavior, eating attitudes and cravings, fat gain, and blood pressure in healthy young adults over a 2-year period. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The sample included 73 healthy, nonobese adults (56% women, 80% white) who were 26.8±4.5 years of age with a body mass index of 22.9±2.4 kg/m2. Participants completed clinic visits at baseline and 2-years later (Year 2) which assessed weight, height, blood pressure, waist circumference, and total body fat measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. A food frequency questionnaire was used to estimate dietary intake, and the eating inventory was used to assess dietary restraint, disinhibition, and hunger. At baseline, participants self-reported TV habits including number of hours/week of watching TV (including cable, VCR, DVD) and presence of a TV in the bedroom. For the analysis, participants were stratified by quartiles of TV viewing time. T tests were used to examine the association between TV viewing and bedroom TV. Linear regression models were used to examine the association between TV viewing and each anthropometric and body composition measure and change over the 2-year period, as well as with the dietary constructs. Models controlled for age, sex, and baseline body fat. Separate models were used to investigate the associations between bedroom TV and the same dependent variables. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Participants reported an average of 13.3±10.8 hours/week of TV viewing, with 33.3% reporting a TV in the bedroom. There were no differences in age, sex, or race among the quartiles of TV viewing or between those who did and did not have a bedroom TV. Adults with a bedroom TV did not differ in hours/week of TV viewing compared with those without a bedroom TV. Amount of TV viewing was associated with higher systolic blood pressure at baseline (p=0.05) but with no other anthropometric or body composition indices nor with change in body composition over the 2-year period. Adults with a bedroom TV reported higher craving for sweets at baseline (p=0.03). Amount of TV viewing was related to lower consumption of vegetables (p=0.04) and fruit or fruit juice (p=0.03) at Year 2, but there was no association with total calorie consumption. TV viewing and bedroom TV were not related to dietary restraint, disinhibition, or hunger at either time point. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Adults who watched more TV consumed fewer fruits and vegetables, and those with a TV in the bedroom reported higher craving for sweets. Though there were no observed relationships between TV habits and body composition change, the associations with cravings and food consumption warrant further exploration. Querying young adults’ TV and media use habits in clinical settings may alert physicians to those at risk of developing poor dietary habits.

The Brangus breed was developed to combine the superior characteristics of both of its founder breeds, Angus and Brahman. It combines the high adaptability to tropical and subtropical environments, disease resistance, and overall hardiness of Zebu cattle with the reproductive potential and carcass quality of Angus. It is known that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC, also known as bovine leucocyte antigen: BoLA), located on chromosome 23, encodes several genes involved in the adaptive immune response and may be responsible for adaptation to harsh environments. The objective of this work was to evaluate whether the local breed ancestry percentages in the BoLA locus of a Brangus population diverged from the estimated genome-wide proportions and to identify signatures of positive selection in this genomic region. For this, 167 animals (100 Brangus, 45 Angus and 22 Brahman) were genotyped using a high-density single nucleotide polymorphism array. The local ancestry analysis showed that more than half of the haplotypes (55.0%) shared a Brahman origin. This value was significantly different from the global genome-wide proportion estimated by cluster analysis (34.7% Brahman), and the proportion expected by pedigree (37.5% Brahman). The analysis of selection signatures by genetic differentiation (Fst) and extended haplotype homozygosity-based methods (iHS and Rsb) revealed 10 and seven candidate regions, respectively. The analysis of the genes located within these candidate regions showed mainly genes involved in immune response-related pathway, while other genes and pathways were also observed (cell surface signalling pathways, membrane proteins and ion-binding proteins). Our results suggest that the BoLA region of Brangus cattle may have been enriched with Brahman haplotypes as a consequence of selection processes to promote adaptation to subtropical environments.

With the recent interest in genetically engineered (GE) wheat and the commercialization of novel-trait imidazolinone herbicide-resistant wheat in North America, volunteer wheat as a weed has also been the subject of renewed interest, specifically, its recruitment and persistence in annual cropping systems. The recruitment of seed from a wheat seedbank established the previous autumn was monitored in a flax crop at two field sites in southern Manitoba, Canada, in 2003 and 2004. Seeds of eight Canadian Western Hard Red spring wheat cultivars, which exhibit a range of preharvest sprouting-resistance characteristics, were broadcast and incorporated into the soil in the autumn at 500 seeds m−2. Tillage treatments consisted of autumn tillage only, and autumn and spring tillage. Recruitment the following spring occurred very early in terms of accumulated growing–degree days (base temperature of 0 C) but expressed as a proportion of total seeds broadcast was low and variable. Total cumulative emergence of wheat over all 4 site yr ranged from 0.9 to 13.1%, with an overall average of 4.3%. There was no relationship between preharvest sprouting-resistance characteristics and recruitment proportion, and no significant influence of tillage treatment on wheat recruitment. Wheat seed that did not recruit was rapidly degraded in the soil and did not persist for more than 12 mo. However, some emerged volunteer wheat plants escaped all control measures normally used in establishing and growing a typical flax crop, and these escaped volunteer wheat plants set viable seed. Therefore, results of this study indicate that efforts and attention should be directed toward achieving very high levels of volunteer wheat control in subsequent rotational crops and that reseeding by escaped volunteer wheat plants may be a more important persistence mechanism for spring wheat than multiyear soil seedbank persistence.

It is considered that the blended wing body may offer the possibility of improvements in performance efficiency over the conventional civil transport. Such configurations will require transonic wind tunnel testing. Hence, a feasibility study has been carried out at ARA to investigate possible model support systems that could be used for this purpose. The study addressed issues arising from the mechanical design of two support systems; namely, a blade or Z-sting and a standard rear sting. In particular, the relatively restricted space available within the model fuselage has presented challenges in the design of the layout of the balance and instrumentation required for the model. CFD analysis has been carried out to assess the relative interference effects of the two support arrangements. This initial work has shown unexpectedly significant interference effects associated with the Z-sting support and attention is drawn to the need for further design work to minimise these effects.

Oral microbes that colonize in the mouths of humans contribute to disease susceptibility, but it is unclear if host genetic factors mediate colonization. We therefore tested the hypothesis that the levels at which oral microbes colonize in the mouth are heritable. Dental plaque biofilms were sampled from intact tooth surfaces of 118 caries-free twins. An additional 86 caries-active twins were sampled for plaque from carious lesions and intact tooth surfaces. Using a reverse capture checkerboard assay the relative abundance of 82 bacterial species was determined. An integrative computational predictive model determined microbial abundance patterns of microbial species in caries-free twins as compared to caries-active twins. Heritability estimates were calculated for the relative microbial abundance levels of the microbial species in both groups. The levels of 10 species were significantly different in healthy individuals than in caries-active individuals, including, A. defectiva, S. parasanguinis, S. mitis/oralis, S. sanguinis, S. cristatus, S. salivarius, Streptococcus sp. clone CH016, G. morbillorum and G. haemolysans. Moderate to high heritability estimates were found for these species (h2 = 56%–80%, p < .0001). Similarity of the overall oral microbial flora was also evident in caries-free twins from multivariate distance matrix regression analysis. It appears that genetic and/or familial factors significantly contribute to the colonization of oral beneficial species in twins.

The ethical principle of respect for autonomy has come into its own In American medicine since World War II as equal in importance to the traditional medicomoral principles of nonmaleficence and beneficence. Respect for autonomy provides the ethical underpinning for the patient's right to exercise an informed choice – whether to consent to or to refuse recommended medical treatment. However, an informed choice demands a certain level of competence. Typical criteria for patient competence to accept or to refuse medical treatments Include ability to make a choice and ability to comprehend the nature of the treatment, as well as the risks and benefits of accepting or refusing the treatment.
