This Element describes for the first time the database of peer review reports at PLOS ONE, the largest scientific journal in the world, to which the authors had unique access. Specifically, this Element presents the background contexts and histories of peer review, the data-handling sensitivities of this type of research, the typical properties of reports in the journal to which the authors had access, a taxonomy of the reports, and their sentiment arcs. This unique work thereby yields a compelling and unprecedented set of insights into the evolving state of peer review in the twenty-first century, at a crucial political moment for the transformation of science. It also, though, presents a study in radicalism and the ways in which PLOS's vision for science can be said to have effected change in the ultra-conservative contemporary university. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Introduction: Trauma care is highly complex and prone to medical errors. Accordingly, several studies have identified adverse events and conditions leading to potentially preventable or preventable deaths. Depending on the availability of specialized trauma care and the trauma system organization, between 10 and 30% of trauma-related deaths worldwide could be preventable if optimal care was promptly delivered. This narrative review aims to identify the main determinants and areas for improvements associated with potentially preventable trauma mortality. Methods: A literature review was performed using Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from 1990 to a maximum of 6 months before submission for publication. Experimental or observational studies that have assessed determinants and areas for improvements that are associated with trauma death preventability were considered for inclusion. Two researchers independently selected eligible studies and extracted the relevant data. The main areas for improvements were classified using the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations patient event taxonomy. No statistical analyses were performed given the data heterogeneity. Results: From the 3647 individual titles obtained by the search strategy, a total of 37 studies were included. Each study included between 72 and 35311 trauma patients who had sustained mostly blunt trauma, frequently following a fall or a motor vehicle accident. Preventability assessment was performed for 17 to 2081 patients using either a single expert assessment (n = 2, 5,4%) or an expert panel review (n = 35, 94.6%). The definition of preventability and the taxonomy used varied greatly between the studies. The rate of potentially preventable or preventable death ranged from 2.4% to 76.5%. The most frequently reported areas for improvement were treatment delay, diagnosis accuracy to avoid missed or incorrect diagnosis and adverse events associated with the initial procedures performed. The risk of bias of the included studies was high for 32 studies because of the retrospective design and the panel review preventability assessment. Conclusion: Deaths occurring after a trauma remain often preventable. Included studies have used unstandardized definitions of a preventable death and various methodologies to perform the preventability assessment. The proportion of preventable or potentially preventable death reported in each study ranged from 2.4% to 76.5%. Delayed treatment, missed or incorrect initial diagnosis and adverse events following a procedure were commonly associated with preventable trauma deaths and could be targeted to develop quality improvement and monitoring projects.

Introduction:
Focused or point of care ultrasound applications have been integrated into prehospital assessments, triage capacities, military applications, trauma, and emergency health care settings, and medical school curriculums. Often, the inclusion of focused ultrasound is to answer specific clinical questions. However, the value is ultimately determined by the experience, skills, and training of the operator performing and interpreting the examination. Ultrasound was reserved for traditional imaging providers as little as two decades ago. However, as the application of ultrasound expands within clinical medicine, there is an increasing necessity for associated education and training.
Aim:To highlight the applications and uses of focused ultrasound in the current diverse health care landscape while identifying the associated educational considerations, including the undergraduate tertiary education sector.
Methods:A search of peer-reviewed published literature was undertaken to determine the range of current usage of ultrasound imaging across professions, and to identify the education and training available.
Results:The results discussed within this presentation will highlight identified trends, ultrasound applications, educational considerations, and potential future practices based on the content of the literature explored.
Discussion:Technology is rapidly advancing in the field of medical ultrasound with handheld ultrasound scanners now smaller, less expensive, and more accessible than ever before. Paralleled with these advances and the more generous use of ultrasound come the expectation and pressures of competent skill diversity among healthcare staff and specialists. Significantly, sonography is still considered by many as the most technically demanding and operator dependent medical imaging modality available. Therefore, as the application of ultrasound expands within clinical medicine, educational considerations must also align with this expansion to maintain diagnostic accuracy. This means an increasing demand for associated education and training, including in the undergraduate tertiary education sector.

Introduction: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a major cause of morbidity but there are no validated tools to help clinicians predict post-concussion symptoms. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prognostic value of S-100B protein to predict post-concussion symptoms following a mTBI in adults. Methods: The protocol of this systematic review was registered with the PROSPERO database (CRD42016032578). A search strategy was performed on seven databases (CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Knowledge, PyscBITE, PsycINFO) from their inception to October 2016. Studies evaluating the association between S-100B protein level and post-concussion symptoms assessed at least seven days after the mTBI were eligible. Individual patient data were requested. Studies eligibility assessment, data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed independently by two researchers. Analyses were done following the meta-analysis using individual participant data or summary aggregate data guidelines from the Cochrane Methodology Review Group. Results: Outcomes were dichotomised as persistent (≥3 months) or early (≥7 days <3 months). Our search strategy yielded 23,298 citations of which 29 studies presenting between seven and 223 patients (n=2505) were included. Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) (16 studies), neuropsychological symptoms (9 studies) and health-related quality of life (4 studies) were the most frequently presented outcomes. The S-100B protein serum level of patients with no PCS was similar to that of patients experiencing persistent PCS (mean difference 0.00 [-0.05, 0.04]) or early PCS (mean difference 0.03 [-0.02, 0.08]). The odds of having persistent PCS (OR 0.56 (95% CI: 0.29-1.10) or early PCS (OR 1.67 (95% CI: 0.98-2.85) in patients with an elevated S-100B protein serum level was not significantly different from that of patients with normal values. No meta-analysis was performed for other outcomes than PCS due to heterogeneity and small samples. Studies’ overall risk of bias was considered moderate. Conclusion: Results suggest that the prognostic value of S-100B protein serum level to predict persistent and early post-concussion symptoms is limited. Variability in injury to S-100B protein sample time and outcomes assessed could potentially explain the lack of association and needs further evaluation.

Introduction: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is an understudied worldwide health problem and a socio-economic burden that remains a major cause of morbidity. However, there is no prognostication tool to help clinicians predict the occurrence of post-concussion symptoms. This systematic review aimed to determine the prognostic value of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) to predict post-concussion symptoms following a mTBI in adults. Methods: The protocol of this systematic review was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (registration number CRD42016033683). Seven databases (CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycBITE, PsycINFO, Web of Knowledge/Biosis) were searched for cohort studies evaluating the association between NSE levels and post-concussion symptoms assessed at least seven days after the mild TBI. Grey literature was also screened using databases on dissertations and theses as well as abstracts from relevant congresses. Two researchers independently screened studies for inclusion, extracted data, and appraised their quality using the Quality in Prognostic Studies (QUIPS) tool from the Cochrane Collaboration Group. Results: Our search strategy yielded a total of 23,298 citations from which eight cohorts presented in 10 studies were included. Studies included between 45 and 141 patients (total=608 patients). The most frequently assessed outcomes were post-concussion syndrome (PCS) (13 assessments), neuropsychological disorders (10 assessments), return to work or sick leave (2 assessments) and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) (2 assessments). No association was found between an elevated NSE serum level and the occurrence of PCS. Of the 33 outcomes assessments performed, only three showed an association between a higher level of serum NSE and a post-concussion symptom (alteration of at least three cognitive domains at 2 weeks, standardised physician assessment at 6 weeks and headache at 6 months following a mild TBI). Included studies’ overall risk of bias was considered moderate. Conclusion: Results of this systematic review conclude that based on current levels of evidence, serum NSE levels alone do not provide prognostic information on persistent or early post-concussion symptoms after a mTBI.

The results of a combined clinical and laboratory study of respiratory infections among members of an Australian Antarctic expedition are presented. Virus isolation and serological methods were employed, but the aetiological agent or agents responsible for respiratory infections in this group were not revealed.
The clinical findings were correlated with published and unpublished studies on comparable communities, and the following broad pattern of the epidemiology of respiratory tract infections in such groups has emerged. The assembly on board ship of a party from widely separated areas often leads to infections after embarkation. On long voyages these infections may burn out, but frequently new cases are still appearing when the party arrives in Antarctica. Symptoms in sufferers at this time become more severe, suggesting that the sudden environmental change from the warmth of an air-conditioned ship to the harsher Antarctic conditions may influence the course of the respiratory infections. With isolation established in Antarctica, further cases rarely appear. On exposure to the relief party, however, infections can be expected, and it is noted that morbidity is usually low and symptoms are mild, indicating an apparent heightened resistance to infection in the acclimatized party while still on the ice.
This study has further shown that most of these men, on returning to urban societies, contracted moderately severe upper respiratory tract infections in contrast to their apparent resistance when under Antarctic conditions.
The suitability of these groups for experimental study, including the inoculation of volunteers, was discussed and suggestions were made for future work.

In a national surveillance system study, the infection rate following cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgery was 4.1% (95% confidence interval, 3.36%-4.92%). Cases of infection were more common in children than in adults (4.85% vs 3.24%; P = .04) and occurred sooner after surgery in children than in adults. A wide variation in compliance with antimicrobial prophylaxis was observed between 21 participating medical centers.

A hitherto unreported association between the isaeid amphipod Photis longicaudata and the hexacorallian Cerianthus lloydii is described and illustrated from material collected near Millport, Clyde Sea area. By building their tubes around the outside rim of the anemones' tubes, this amphipod presumably gains proximity protection from predators.

Recrystallization of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) films using a line-source electron beam is described. This unique heat source can continuously emit several kilowatts of - 5 keV electrons into a beam 150 mm in length and - 2.5 mm in width, an exposure area which allows processing of 100 mm substrates in a single pass. An attractive aspect of this beam is the ability to control the beam profile, which in turn allows one to influence the thermal gradients present during recrystallization. Using a tightly focussed beam to recrystallize the SOI layer results in a film whose physical properties are generally attributed to films grown with a high thermal gradient at the solidifying liquid-solid interface (highly branched subboundaries with a maximum spacing of - 20 microns and several degrees of angular mismatch.) By reducing the gradient at the growth interface it is possible to achieve unbranched sub-boundaries with over 70 micron spacing and less than 0.5 degrees of out-of-plane tilt misalignment.

We report a new technique for the in situ, non-intrusive, and sensitive measurement of plasma electric fields with high spatial resolution. Fields as small as 40 V/cm can be characterized by spectrally resolving laser-induced fluorescence from Stark-mixed parity levels. The technique is demonstrated by exciting the A1 11−X 1Σ+ band system of BC1, produced in an rf discharge through BCI3. The characterization and absolute measurement of sheath fields, which have been elusive, are now possible. These fields are preeminent in governing charged particle transport to and between electrode surfaces and in maintaining the glow discharge.

We have achieved wide area (38 cm2) electron beam heating of semiconductor materials using a glow discharge electron beam with electron energies between 3 and 7 keV. A continuous beam 7 cm in diameter with a power density up to 90 W/cm2 was used to anneal both boron-implanted (30 keV, 5 × 1015 atoms/cm2) n-type <100> silicon wafers as well as two types of Ti-Si composite films to form this titanium disilicide Annealing of the implanted samples was obtained without redistribution of the original dopant profile using a 15-sec. electron beam exposure. Formation of TiSi2 was found to decrease the sheet resistivity of these samples a factor of ten for both 400 Å films of Ti on Si and codeposited Ti-Si mixtures of overall stoichiometry TiSi2. Due to the high electron beam power density achieved over a large area, one can uniformly anneal an entire wafer in a single exposure without sample or beam scanning.
