Summary
Preface
In 1997, the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) (with support from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the editors' institutions) sponsored a volume on phytoplankton pigments entitled Phytoplankton Pigments in Oceanography: Guidelines to Modern Methods. This volume was edited by Drs S. W. Jeffrey, R. F. C. Mantoura and S. W. Wright and resulted from the activities of SCOR Working Group 78. The 1997 volume went out of print a few years after publication (about 2000 copies were sold), which prompted UNESCO Publishing to print another 500 copies in 2005.
In April 2006, SCOR sponsored a workshop of pigment specialists from around the world to examine updates in this field. This workshop was hosted by Dr R. Fauzi C. Mantoura and the International Atomic Energy Agency's Marine Environmental Laboratory in Monaco. The updates that were identified include new advances in the taxonomy of marine phytoplankton (several new algal groups have been described since 1997), improved analytical techniques (notably HPLC-linked mass spectrometry, not generally used for pigment analysis before 1997), and new applications for pigments. The outcome of this meeting was a consensus that an update of the original 1997 volume was urgently needed, and a new editorial team was nominated. The present volume is the result of this update. Two of the three former editors of the 1997 volume contributed to the present volume (S. W. Jeffrey and S. W. Wright). Their collaboration ensures a smoother transition between the two volumes and prevents repetition, focusing instead on developments since the 1997 volume.

Objective: To describe a population-based, multifaceted shared-care intervention for late-life depression in residential care as a new model of geriatric practice, to outline its development and implementation, and to describe the lessons learned during the implementation process. Setting: A large continuing-care retirement community in Sydney, Australia, providing three levels of care (independent living units, assisted-living complexes, and nursing homes). Participants:) The intervention was implemented for the entire non-nursing home population (residents in independent and assisted living: N = 1,466) of the facility and their health care providers. Of the 1,036 residents who were eligible and agreed to be interviewed, 281 (27.1%) were classified as depressed according to the Geriatric Depression Scale. Intervention Description: The intervention included: (a) multidisciplinary collaboration between primary care physicians, facility health care providers, and the local psychogeriatric service; (b) trainning for primary care physicians and other facility health care providers about detecting and managing depression; and (c) depression-related health education/promotion programs for residents. Conclusions: The intervention was widely accepted by residents and their health care providers, and was sustained and enhanced by the facility after the completion of the study. It is possible to implement and sustain a multifaceted shared-care intervention for late-life depression in a residential care facility where local psychogeriatric services are scarce, staff-to-resident ratios are low, and the needs of depressed to residents are substantial.
