First-half 2020 highlightsn Strong mobilisation of Group resources during the unprecedented Covid-19 crisisCasino Group mobilised its resources to fulfil its essential role of securing food supplies for people during the unprecedented health crisis. Priority was placed on implementing measures to protect employees and customers: face masks and hydro-alcoholic gels, plexiglass screens, systematic cleaning in line with health guidelines, physical distancing between customers, and automated checkout solutions. Measures were also taken in concert with suppliers and public authorities to ensure supply chain continuity and secure operations.The Group recorded additional costs related to maintaining its operations under challenging conditions. Most of these no longer apply since the lifting of lockdowns. * Additional logistics costs: extra transport costs, organisational issues relating to problems with supplier deliveries, non-application of logistics-related penalties; * Additional staff costs: extra staff, night-time hours, employer contributions for employees on sick leave or at home minding their children; * Additional health and safety costs: emergency mass purchases of face masks, gloves and hydro-alcoholic gels, plexiglass screens, reinforced store cleaning, security guards to regulate the distance between customers; * Additional costs relating to the special bonus for employees. * Acceleration in E-commerce and digital solutions, and further development of buoyant formatsIn the first half of the year, demand was particularly high in the Group's convenience stores and on its E‑commerce sites. Food E-commerce generated triple-digit growth in Q2 2020, with the deployment of click & collect and home delivery solutions in urban and convenience formats. The Casino O'logistique automated warehouse, based on Ocado technology, was also deployed during the period. Ramp-up at the warehouse was rapid, with a five-fold increase in the number of orders between end-May and end-June. The delivery zone has been extended to four departments (Paris and its inner suburbs), covering 6.8m residents. When lockdown measures were lifted, the transition to a new consumption model picked up pace. Orders were up by +50% to around 10,000 orders per day in the last weeks of the period, versus 6,500 before the crisis.Cdiscount maintained its strong growth momentum, driven by an increase in the marketplace contribution to gross merchandise value (GMV) to 46.3% in Q2, up +6.2pts. The Group adjusted its product mix towards more high-margin, recurring products (DIY, gardening, sport, daily shop). The customer base increased significantly with 1m new clients in Q2, with a peak of 25m unique visitors in May.Digital solutions continued to be rolled out in stores. In June, automated checkouts4 represented 46% of total checkouts in hypermarkets and 40% in supermarkets. The Group now has 444 autonomous stores, of which half of hypermarkets (58 stores) and half of supermarkets (167 stores). The CasinoMax Extra5 subscription loyalty programme accounted for 10% of net sales at hypermarkets and supermarkets during the period.At the same time, the Group continued to focus on developing its premium and convenience formats, with 68 store openings during the first half. The objective is to open 300 new stores by 2021, in addition to the 213 stores opened in 2019. The Group is also pursuing the development of non-food corners, particularly at Franprix with Hema and Decathlon, which have now been integrated into 79 and 18 stores, respectively. The organic segment maintained its good momentum with growth of +14.4% for the first half of the year.n Continued development of new businessesCasino Group continues to develop its new value-creating businesses. GreenYellow pursed its international expansion during the period by signing its 100th photovoltaic contract in Thailand, as well as a 12MWp photovoltaic contract in South Africa with a company that operates in precious metals. In Brazil, energy efficiency contracts were signed with several retailers. Development of the Data business with relevanC has continued, up by a strong +34% during the first half to €44m, despite a downturn in the market. The "relevanC Advertising" platform, for managing and monitoring advertising campaign budgets, will help speed up the acquisition of new clients. In the Data Centers business, ScaleMax, computing capacity at the warehouse in Réau increased by +30% in the first half of the year. During lockdown, computing capacity was made available to the Folding@home project for research into Covid-19.n Advances in the disposal of non-strategic assetsCasino Group announced the sale of 567 Leader Price stores and 3 warehouses in metropolitan France to Aldi France, for an enterprise value of €735m6, bringing total amount from disposals signed to €2.8bn. The Group also completed the sale of its subsidiary Vindemia, the leading retailer in the Indian Ocean region. This brought the total proceeds received from completed disposals to €2.0bn.n Recognition of the Group's CSR commitmentsCasino Group was named the No. 1 European retailer by Vigeo Eiris7 for its CSR policy and commitments. The Group ranked as the top European retailer for its commitments to the climate, to environmental protection, its human resources policies and its corporate governance, and for its employee relations policies and human resources out of the entire panel of 129 French companies evaluated. Among its initiatives, the Group promoted organic products, which generated €1.2bn in net sales in H1 2020 (over a 12‑month period), notably via its network of more than 200 specialised stores. It used 160 tonnes of recycled plastic for its packaging. In addition, 18,700 tonnes of products were donated to food banks and other non-profit organisations in 2019. Lastly, the Group reduced its direct greenhouse gas emissions by 19.6% between 2015 and 20198. Second-quarter 2020 net sales In the second quarter of 2020, consolidated net sales came to €7,846m, down -7.5% in total. The currency and fuel effects had unfavourable impacts of -13.1% and -2.9% respectively over the period, while the calendar effect was -0.4%. On a same-store basis, consolidated net sales rose by +10.4%9, driven by strong demand in France and Latin America, in an environment shaped by the unprecedented health crisis. In France, total sales were impacted by a downturn in fuel sales (-€157m or -4.1pts) and by the impact of the Rocade plan on hypermarkets and supermarkets. Same-store growth for the quarter came to +6.0%, led by double-digit growth in urban and convenience formats (Franprix, supermarkets and convenience stores) and triple-digit growth in food E-commerce. Monoprix posted a sharp increase in food sales (+7.6% on a same-store basis) and enjoyed renewed momentum in non-food sales from mid-May.Cdiscount10 delivered organic growth in gross merchandise volume (GMV) of +24.8%, despite the postponement of the summer sales period to mid-July, with growth driven by the marketplace and by direct sales. The marketplace grew by +39% over the quarter and accounted for 46.3% of GMV (+6.2pts). Cdiscount attracted one million new customers during the quarter, with a peak of 25m unique visitors in May. International GMV doubled during the quarter, thanks to a platform that brings together 88 websites covering 25 countries.In Latin America (GPA Food and Éxito), sales rose by +12.5% on a same-store basis and by +17.3% on an organic basis. The total net sales figure was impacted by an unfavourable currency effect of -28.2%. During the quarter, sales in Latin America benefited from the success of Multivarejo's turnaround strategy, which resulted in +15.8% growth on a same-store basis2, and from another excellent performance by Assaí, which reported organic growth of +26.4%2. Éxito put in a good performance, achieving same-store growth of +6.0%2 despite restrictions on movement in Colombia. First-half 2020 resultsConsolidated net sales amounted to €16,140m in H1 2020, representing a change of -4.2% in total and an increase of +9.4% on an organic basis and +8.4% on a same-store basis.In France, same-store H1 net sales rose by +6.0%, led by the urban and convenience formats. E-commerce (Cdiscount) posted an organic increase in gross merchandise volume (GMV) of +12.0%11, driven by the growing contribution of the marketplace and B2C services. Cdiscount has recorded sustained growth since the end of the lockdown, confirming the trend.Sales in Latin America rose by +15.7% on an organic basis and by +10.5% on a same-store basis, lifted by a very good performance from Assaí and an upturn in demand at Multivarejo.Group EBITDA reached €1,066m, up +4.0% at constant exchange rates.In France, EBITDA margin for the retail business improved by +9 bps to 7.2%. The cost-saving plans and the Rocade plan generated savings of +€40m, representing a sustainable improvement in the cost ratio of +50bps.The health crisis generated a +€80m effect on activity, which was more than offset by temporary additional costs related to emergency measures taken to ensure the supply of populations in challenging conditions (logistics costs: -€27m, staff reinforcements: -€28m) and to protect our employees and clients (safety, protection equipment, cleaning: -€38m). On top of these operational effects of -€13m, the special employee bonus of -€37m brings the net impact of the health crisis to €-50m in H1 2020.Cdiscount recorded an increase in EBITDA of +€30m, for an EBITDA margin of 4.5% (+302bps), and an increase in gross margin of +2.8pts, driven by a shift in the product mix to generate more high-margin, repeat-purchases sales (DIY, gardening, sport, daily shop).In Latin America, EBITDA increased by +9.9% excluding the currency effect. At GPA, EBITDA grew by +10.9% excluding the currency effect, led by the improving profitability of Assaí. For Grupo Éxito, EBITDA was up +7.3% excluding the currency effect. Consolidated trading profit came to €386m. Trading profit was impacted by the non-recurring additional costs associated with Covid-19 (of which -€47m of special employee bonus for the whole Group) and a currency impact of -€55m. Excluding special employee bonuses, consolidated trading profit improved by +7% at constant exchange rates. In France, the retail trading profit amounted to €148m up +2% excluding special employee bonus.Underlying net financial expense and net profit, Group share12Underlying net financial expense for first-half 2020 came to -€378m versus -€341m in first-half 2019. Financial expenses were higher following the refinancing plan in France in H2 2019, as the impact of the reduction in gross debt from disposals already signed in 2020 is not yet reflected. GPA's financial expenses increased because of the takeover bid on Éxito (acquisition of non-controlling shares) achieved in H2 2019.Underlying profit (loss) from continuing operations, Group share came out at -€87m in H1, compared with €12m in first-half 2019.Consolidated net profit (loss)Consolidated net profit (loss) came to -€445m in first-half 2020, versus -€226m in first-half 2019. Net profit (loss) from continuing operations came to -€287m, primarily reflecting -€249m of non-recurring expenses, most of which are non-cash.Net profit (loss) from discontinued operations, Group share came to -€158m, notably due to stock clearance initiatives. Financial position at 30 June 2020France free cash flow excluding the disposal plan and the Rocade plan came to -€40m in H1 2020, representing a gain of +€140m versus H1 2019. Change in working capital for H1 2020 reflected a +€137m improvement on H1 2019 driven by the sales momentum and the action plans. Gross Capex was down -14% over the period.In France, net debt declined slightly over the 12 months to 30 June 2020 after the reintegration of €555m corresponding to the Segisor repayment (c.€200m) and to the settlement of the GPA forward and TRS (€357m). In France, the Group generated operating free cash flow of €507m13 in France, or €254m after financial expenses and dividends, and collected €469m in proceeds from disposals.At 30 June 2020, Casino France14 net debt stood at €2.8bn, versus €2.9bn a year earlier, and E-commerce net debt was virtually stable. Latam net debt increased by €187m in connection with the Group's structural simplification process in Latin America.At 30 June 2020, Casino Group consolidated net debt stood at €4.8bn vs. €4.7bn a year earlier. At 30 June 2020, Casino in France2 had €3.2bn in liquidity, comprising a gross cash position of €913m and confirmed undrawn lines of credit of €2.3bn. In addition, the Group had an amount of €186m in an escrow account dedicated to the repayment of bonds. Additional financial information relating to the 2019 refinancing documentation At 30 June 2020, the Group complied with covenants in the "France Retail + E-commerce" scope15. The gross debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio was 6.62x, below the 7.50x limit, with headroom of €764m in gross debt. The adjusted EBITDA/net finance costs ratio was 3.76x, above the required 2.25x, representing headroom of €350m in EBITDA.Outlook for H2 2020The Group's priorities in France for the second half of the year are: * Activity growth driven by food E-commerce and Cdiscount, expansion in buoyant formats and the commercial momentum of the banners; * Continued improvement in profitability through the ramp-up of ongoing cost-saving plans and the growth in new activities (energy and data); * Cash generation with continued efforts to reduce inventories and control capex; * Reduction in gross debt with the allocation of all proceeds from the disposal plan to debt reduction, and the continuation of the €4.5bn disposal plan of non-strategic assets.The Board of Directors met on 29 July 2020 to approve consolidated financial statements for first-half 2020.

Yesterday, Casino Group completed its refinancing plan announced on 22 October that strengthens its liquidity and financial structure. The extension of the confirmed credit lines into the new €2bn RCF brings the amount of the Group's undrawn confirmed credit lines in France to €2.3bn.
Following the press release issued on 7 November, Casino announced the signing of a new €2.0bn revolving credit facility, maturing in October 2023 as part of its refinancing plan presented on 22 October. Casino, Casino Finance and Monoprix are the three borrowers under this facility. The amount of the existing Casino and Monoprix revolving syndicated facilities (currently €2.25bn), maturing in 2021 and 2022, will be reduced by the amounts extended into the new revolving credit facility.
Casino announces the results of the bond tender offer launched on 5 November, in the context of its refinancing plan; a total amount of c.€784m has been tendered, respectively €239m, €253m and €292m of the bonds maturing in March 2020, May 2021 and June 2022. The settlement of the tender offer is expected on 20 November. Taking into account the tender prices and the accrued coupons, the total cash-out will be €806m for Casino.
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO. In the context of its refinancing plan announced on 22nd October, the Casino Group announces the successful syndication of a €1,000m term loan B and placement of a €800m secured high yield bond, both maturing in January 2024. This reflects the large oversubscription of these instruments by investors.
In this context, the existing Casino and Monoprix syndicated lines, maturing in 2021 and 2022, for an existing amount of €2.25Bn, will be reduced by the amounts extended into the new revolving credit facility. The existing Casino and Monoprix bilateral lines, for a total amount of €0.64Bn, will be cancelled. This new revolving credit facility will be signed soon.
This tender offer will be conditional to the new financings (Term Loan B and secured bond, respectively launched on October 23th and 30th). Based on a €1.5bn target for the new financings, the tender offer is expected to amount to €700m*. As part of this offer, Casino will accept all the 2020 notes tendered and will allocate the remaining amount of the tender between the 2021 and 2022 bonds.
In addition to the information contained in our press release of 17 October 2019, the Group specifies that, during the third quarter of 2019, it continued to implement the action plans in France previously announced, in particular the cost reduction plan, the rationalization of the store network and the development of its new activities. The evolution of net financial debt in France (France retail and e-commerce) between the end of June and the end of September is in line with the seasonality observed historically over the last three years. The Group continued to implement its initiatives to improve cash flow generation and accelerate debt reduction.

Objective: To identify socioeconomic and contextual factors associated with functional mobility and falls in elderly residents of SAo Paulo, Brazil. Method: We used data from the Health, Well-Being, and Aging (Saude, Bem-estare Envelhecimento {[}SABE]) Study. The dependent variables were falling in the last year and functional mobility impairment. Individual (marital status, race, education, and perception of income sufficiency) and contextual (green area and violence) factors were analyzed by multilevel logistic models. Results: Having 8 or more years of schooling was a protective factor for mobility impairment. Neighborhoods with moderate homicide rate were associated with higher odds of falling. Moderate green spaces were associated with higher odds of falling and lower odds to have mobility impairment for individuals 80 years and older. Discussion: Our findings support the concern that neighborhood characteristics are associated with falls and mobility impairment. Strategies to prevent these outcomes should consider contextual aspects. (AU)

A man has died in a horrific car crash in Deeside after his car burst into flames.
A major 999 operation was launched last night after the accident on the A93 near Aboyne in the early hours of this morning.
One other car containing four people was involved in the collision around three miles east of Aboyne, near Kincardine O'Neil.
They were a woman in her fifties, a man in his seventies, a 68-year-old woman and a man also in his sixties.
Paramedics took them to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but the victim died at the scene. It is understood he was travelling alone at the time.

'In the hearts of those you love' – memorial ideas
Assembling a text in loving memory of a family member or friend.
Losing someone we love can stop many of us in our tracks for a while. However, when we are ready, many find the right memorial ideas mean that sharing our memories brings us comfort, balancing our sense of loss and enabling us to move forward.
What if those remembrances could be given permanent form, not only giving a voice to the past, but also preserving them for the future? They can.
An 'In the hearts of those you love' commission, perhaps chosen by the bereaved, by family or friends, can capture those memories in time. Whether a family wants a record of beloved grandparents that will be cherished by generations to come, or friends rally in response to losing to one of their own, whatever the situation, there will be a bespoke text to match. My testimonials give a sense of how meaningful the process can be.
I might ask about all the aspects of our subject's life that made them who they were. We may involve just those closest or a few more contributors. Our text might blend a sharper focus with passages with a more thematic approach, all chosen carefully to suit. Finding just the right combination of elements is all part of creating a fitting tribute, as is choosing the final form it takes. You're free to choose, but part-framed as well as in book form often works well.
The 'In the hearts of those you love' commission might appeal to partners, family and/or friends of a loved one.
'When you live in the hearts of those you love, remember then, you never die.'
Rabindranath Tagore

To evaluate the effect of the burden of Staphylococcus aureus colonization of nursing home residents on the risk of S. aureus transmission to healthcare worker (HCW) gowns and gloves.
Multicenter prospective cohort study.
Residents and HCWs from 13 community-based nursing homes in Maryland and Michigan.
Residents were cultured for S. aureus at the anterior nares and perianal skin. The S. aureus burden was estimated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction detecting the nuc gene. HCWs wore gowns and gloves during usual care activities; gowns and gloves were swabbed and then cultured for the presence of S. aureus.
In total, 403 residents were enrolled; 169 were colonized with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) or methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and comprised the study population; 232 were not colonized and thus were excluded from this analysis; and 2 were withdrawn prior to being swabbed. After multivariable analysis, perianal colonization with S. aureus conferred the greatest odds for transmission to HCW gowns and gloves, and the odds increased with increasing burden of colonization: adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.1 (95% CI, 1.3–3.5) for low-level colonization and aOR 5.2 (95% CI, 3.1–8.7) for high level colonization.
Among nursing home patients colonized with S. aureus, the risk of transmission to HCW gowns and gloves was greater from those colonized with greater quantities of S. aureus on the perianal skin. Our findings inform future infection control practices for both MRSA and MSSA in nursing homes.
No studies have investigated the associations between established plant-based diet indices and metabolic syndrome (MetS). We evaluated the associations between an overall plant-based diet index (PDI), healthy plant-based diet index (hPDI), unhealthy plant-based diet index (uPDI), and MetS in a nationally representative sample using data from 14,450 Korean adults (≥19y) in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2012-2016. Dietary intakes were assessed by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. In the PDI, all plant foods received positive scores. In the hPDI, only healthy plant foods received positive scores. In the uPDI, only unhealthy plant foods received positive scores. All indices reverse scored animal food intake. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between three PDIs and MetS by sex, adjusting for potential risk factors. A total of 23.3% of Korean adults had MetS. In the overall population, individuals in the highest quintile of uPDI had greater odds (odds ratio: 1.54, 95% confidence interval: 1.28, 1.86, P-trend<0.001) of MetS than those in the lowest quintile. Higher uPDI score was associated with higher odds of hypertriglyceridemia in men, and abdominal obesity, high fasting glucose, and hypertriglyceridemia in women. No significant associations were observed between PDI, hPDI, and MetS. Greater adherence to unhealthy plant-based diets was associated with greater odds of MetS and its components suggesting the importance of the quality of plant-based diet in South Korean adults. Sex difference may be considered when recommending plant-based diets for prevention and management of metabolic diseases.
Geological, geomorphological and soil maps provide important information on the substrate as well as on the past and present physical landscape. For the intensely studied Netherlands coastal plain and Rhine–Meuse delta, many such map datasets have been compiled over the last two centuries. These mapping materials comprise older and younger legacy datasets, often fragmented over regions. They have been compiled within various research traditions and by various parties, involving geologists, soil scientists, geomorphologists and landscape archaeologists. The maps and datasets summarise overwhelming amounts of underlying data accumulated over the last few centuries, and are therefore valuable for reconstructing past landscapes.
Digital-infrastructure developments have enhanced possibilities for recombining existing and new data over the last few decades, e.g. through GIS solutions such as palaeogeographical base maps, from which multiple derived map products can be generated. Integration of thematic information from various source maps and underlying data is needed to use the accumulated data diversity to its full potential and to answer applied and fundamental scientific questions. Using diverse information to compile or update maps, however, requires awareness of legacy surveying strategies and the state of knowledge at the time the original data and maps were produced. This paper reviews the soil, geological and geomorphological mapping traditions. We evaluate their products, underlying data and the reasoning behind their compilation, focusing on their use in conventional and digital palaeogeographical mapping. This helps get the most out of large quantities of legacy and modern data, a major challenge for surface and substrate digital mapping in the big-data era.
The co-occurrence of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season and the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic creates complex dilemmas for protecting populations from these intersecting threats. Climate change is likely contributing to stronger, wetter, slower-moving, and more dangerous hurricanes. Climate-driven hazards underscore the imperative for timely warning, evacuation, and sheltering of storm-threatened populations – proven life-saving protective measures that gather evacuees together inside durable, enclosed spaces when a hurricane approaches. Meanwhile, the rapid acquisition of scientific knowledge regarding how COVID-19 spreads has guided mass anti-contagion strategies, including lockdowns, sheltering at home, physical distancing, donning personal protective equipment, conscientious handwashing, and hygiene practices. These life-saving strategies, credited with preventing millions of COVID-19 cases, separate and move people apart. Enforcement coupled with fear of contracting COVID-19 have motivated high levels of adherence to these stringent regulations. How will populations react when warned to shelter from an oncoming Atlantic hurricane while COVID-19 is actively circulating in the community? Emergency managers, health care providers, and public health preparedness professionals must create viable solutions to confront these potential scenarios: elevated rates of hurricane-related injury and mortality among persons who refuse to evacuate due to fear of COVID-19, and the resurgence of COVID-19 cases among hurricane evacuees who shelter together.
What are the consequences of being the victim of crime for political participation? Previous studies report mixed results with respect to voter turnout, in contrast to the positive effects found for other indicators of political engagement. However, previous turnout studies have failed to differentiate between violent and non-violent crime, and have relied on cross-sectional survey data that is prone to measurement biases and selection effects. This article addresses these shortcomings via a panel analysis of official registry data from Denmark recording individual-level turnout in two municipal elections (in 2009 and 2013) and victimization from violent and non-violent crime. It identifies the effect of victimization by comparing changes in turnout between the two elections for victims and two different counterfactual groups: non-victims in the general population, and individuals who were victimized after the 2013 election. The results show that victimization from violent crime increases turnout by 2 to 3 percentage points. The study further demonstrates a large negative between-individual effect of victimization, suggesting that previous studies have been marred by severe selection bias.
To examine longitudinal patterns of child introduction to foods and drinks targeted for restriction by parents and associations between child intake frequency, mother's own liking, child early exposure and child liking for restricted foods and drinks at 5 years old.
The study involved secondary analyses of longitudinal data from mothers and children participating in the NOURISH randomised controlled trial. Patterns of descriptive data were examined, and a binary logistic regression model tested for prediction of child liking of a selection of restricted foods and drinks.
Brisbane and Adelaide, Australia.
Two hundred and eleven mothers and their first born 5-year-old children.
The proportion of children who had tried the selected restricted foods and drinks progressively increased from 14 months to 5 years old. Mothers' own high liking for both sweet and savoury restricted foods and drinks predicted child high liking for the same items at 5 years old. Child high intake frequency at 5 years old also predicted child high liking for sweet foods and drinks, but child early exposure did not predict child liking for the restricted items examined.
These results challenge the belief that limiting children's intake of foods high in sugar, fat and/or salt will increase their liking for them. Findings instead suggest that restricting children's access to such foods may be beneficial. While further research is required, mothers should be made aware that their own food preferences may inadvertently influence their child's liking for the very foods they are trying to restrict.
This paper investigates and questions the relevance of product-centric circularity indicators in a product design context. To do so, reviews of eco-design tools and critical analyses of circularity indicators at the micro level of circular economy implementation are combined with a new workshop experimenting four of these indicators with the aim to improve the circularity performance of an industrial product. On this basis, the four tool-based circularity indicators tested are mapped on the engineering design and development process, and are positioned among the pool of main eco-design tools.
Sleep plays a role in the consolidation of various aspects of language learning. In this study, we investigated the extent to which sleep-dependent memory consolidation contributes to second language (L2) rule generalization and enhancement of L2 explicit knowledge. One hundred native English speakers were engaged in a meaning-focused training of two German grammar rules. Participants were trained either in the morning or in the evening and tested after a retention interval that was either filled with wakefulness or sleep. During the test, we used a grammaticality judgment test to measure grammatical learning and retrospective verbal reports and source attributions to measure awareness. We found that sleep consolidated learning only for learners who reported awareness of syntactic rules prior to sleep. However, performance based on explicit sources did not differ after a period of sleep and after a period of wakefulness. These findings suggest that sleep may benefit L2 rule generalization only for learners who are aware of the L2 rules before sleep but may not consolidate L2 explicit knowledge.
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To develop feasible screening methods for activity of the enzyme Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) with point of care applicability. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Current knowledge establishes the relevance of G6PD as a critical therapeutic determinant for effective antimalarial therapy due to the occurrence of mutations that lead to post-treatment severe adverse effects. We present our findings on development of cost effective point-of-care screening methodologies to ascertain G6PD deficiency. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Using Patient Cohort Explorer and data from the Department of Pathology, we established the prevalence of G6PD deficiency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS as high as 11.8% (African-American males in all population, n = 2518). Next, for selection of potential target groups, we set up a protocol for recruitment of volunteers based on ethnic background, parental ethnicity, and medical history. G6PD activity was evaluated using point of care methods [Trinity Biotech test or CareSTART Biosensor], and Gold Standard quantitative spectrophotometric assay (LabCorp). Determinations in >20 subjects have showed comparable concordance. If used with a conservative interpretation of the signal, the Trinity Biotech test showed superior potential for use in the field relative to the CareSTART Biosensor. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: We established the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in our medical center. We have also setup tests for point-of-care assessment of G6PD. Pending evaluation of the relative tests performance, we will be in position to screen individuals and select them for a prospective clinical trial to evaluate the safety of antimalarial agents on scope of G6PD deficiency.
In 2014, a Nutrition Report Card (NRC) was developed as a sustainable, low-cost framework to assess the healthfulness of children's food environments and highlight action to support healthy eating. We summarise our experiences in producing, disseminating, evaluating and refining an annual NRC in a Canadian province from 2015 to 2019.
To produce the NRC, children's food environment indicator data are collected, analyzed and compiled for consensus grading by an Expert Working Group of researchers and practitioners. Knowledge translation activities are tailored annually to the needs of target audiences: researchers, practitioners, policymakers and the public. Evaluation of reach is conducted through diverse strategies, including tracking media coverage and website traffic. Assessment of impact on diets and health outcomes is planned.
Alberta, Canada.
Not applicable.
The grading process has facilitated refining the NRC to enhance its relevance and utility as a tool for its target audiences. Its public release consistently captures media interest and policymakers' attention. The importance of partnerships in revealing data sources and in strategising to enhance policy approaches to improve food environments is apparent. The NRC has benchmarked progress and stimulated dialogue regarding healthy food environments for children.
The NRC may help to foster a supportive climate for improving the quality of children's food environments. As an engaging and accessible document, the NRC represents a key mechanism for collating data related to children's food environments and ensuring it reaches the audiences best positioned to use it. Efforts are underway to expand the NRC across Canada.
Although trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT) is the frontline treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), one-third of patients are treatment non-responders. To identify neural markers of treatment response to TF-CBT when participants are reappraising aversive material.
This study assessed PTSD patients (n = 37) prior to TF-CBT during functional magnetic brain resonance imaging (fMRI) when they reappraised or watched traumatic images. Patients then underwent nine sessions of TF-CBT, and were then assessed for symptom severity on the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale. FMRI responses for cognitive reappraisal and emotional reactivity contrasts of traumatic images were correlated with the reduction of PTSD severity from pretreatment to post-treatment.
Symptom improvement was associated with decreased activation of the left amygdala during reappraisal, but increased activation of bilateral amygdala and hippocampus during emotional reactivity prior to treatment. Lower connectivity of the left amygdala to the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, pregenual anterior cingulate cortex, and right insula, and that between the left hippocampus and right amygdala were also associated with symptom improvement.
These findings provide evidence that optimal treatment response to TF-CBT involves the capacity to engage emotional networks during emotional processing, and also to reduce the engagement of these networks when down-regulating emotions.
Introduction: Many cardiac arrest survivors die later due to hemorrhage or thromboembolism, thought to be caused by acquired coagulopathy in post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) from shock and reperfusion injury. Understanding PCAS is a priority identified by the AHA for the prevention of complications in cardiac arrest survivors. Shock dysregulates both coagulation and fibrinolysis. The key effector enzyme thrombin (Th), is responsible for both up- and down-regulating coagulation and fibrinolysis. Measuring early Th activity may allow for predicting PCAS coagulopathy, and early medical intervention in the ED. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the time-course profile of early coagulation using an established pig model of cardiac arrest. Methods: Yorkshire pigs were anaesthetised and intubated, had VF-arrest induced by pacing, and were resuscitated per ACLS. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) was performed on whole blood at four times: baseline, intra-arrest, post-arrest, and death, using the fibrin-based test with tissue factor to initiate clotting in the presence of a platelet inhibitor cytochalasin D (FIBTEM). Clot time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha-angle during clot formation (Alpha), clot amplitude at 10 min (A10), maximum clot firmness (MCF), and maximum lysis as total percentage (ML%) were quantified. The primary outcome is the overall coagulation initiation measured by CFT, while secondary outcomes include ROTEM parameters reflecting Th activity. Parameters are compared over time in SPSS using repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni correction. Results: Pilot data from one experiment show that cardiac arrest causes immediate early changes to coagulation that subsequently normalized with ROSC (Figure 1). CFT was impaired immediately upon cardiac arrest (2.3-fold increase), normalized with ROSC, and impaired again at death when compared with baseline. Consistent with clotting impairment, A10, Alpha, and MCF were all reduced with cardiac arrest, normalized with ROSC, and impaired again at death. Conclusion: Higher initial indices of coagulopathy in patients with cardiac arrest appear to correlate with death and thromboembolism. In this pilot, CFT is acutely modified by cardiac arrest. Since CFT is affected by overall Th activity, early Th dysregulation may be a critical driver of coagulopathy. Th may therefore be a lead target that is modifiable in the emergency post-arrest setting to decrease morbidity and mortality from PCAS in cardiac arrest survivors.
Our understanding of ice algal responses to the recent changes in Arctic sea ice is impeded by limited field observations. In the present study, environmental characteristics of the landfast sea-ice zone as well as primary production and macromolecular composition of ice algae and phytoplankton were studied in the Kitikmeot Sea near Cambridge Bay in spring 2017. Averaged total chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration was within the lower range reported previously for the same region, while daily carbon uptake rates of bottom-ice algae were significantly lower in this study than previously reported for the Arctic. Based on various indicators, the region's low nutrient concentrations appear to limit carbon uptake rates and associated accumulation of bottom-ice algal biomass. Furthermore, the lipids-dominant biochemical composition of bottom-ice algae suggests strong nutrient limitation relative to the distinctly different carbohydrates-dominant composition of phytoplankton. Together, the results confirm strong nitrate limitation of the local marine system.
Study of the clinical features in the group of somatoform and psychosomatic disorders.
The results of clinical and epidemiological study of 2181 patients (average age-54 ± 0.8) are presented.
inventory for clinical-anamnestic behavior sign of adaptation form of disease of patients with comorbid phenomenon and standard scales for value of anxiety and depressions were used.
The homogeneous group of disorders in which somatic as well as psychical symptoms are equivalent 6,7 (P< 0,05).The phenomenon of comorbidity as the independent clinical adaptive mechanism was revealed 8,3 (P< 0,05). In the research group the positive response for the psychotropic therapy was registered 5,3 (P< 0,05).
The phenomenon of comorbidity in practice area reduces to new understanding of the coexistence of the psychic and somatic register, illustrates the possibility of the valuation of indicator of quality of manifestation of symptom and syndrome in context of social functioning. The social functioning is the indicator of quality and optimization of the diagnostic and therapeutic processes, which are demanding independent culturally dependent diagnostic directives from existing classifications (ICD-10, DSM-IV). The somatic symptom is the integral part of psychopathologic syndromes.
The aim of this study was to examine whether the presence of risk alleles of the norepinephrine transporter gene (SLC6A2) polymorphisms is associated with differences in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measured by 99mTc-HMPAO single photon emission computerized tomography in a Korean sample of ADHD.
The present study included 24 children with ADHD (9.5±2.4 years), consisting of 20 boys and 4 girls, aged 6-16 years. We investigated the G1287A and -3081(A/T) polymorphisms of the SLC6A2. The rCBF was compared between the ADHD subjects with and without risk alleles at the G1287A polymorphism and at the -3081(A/T) polymorphism. Image analyses were performed with voxelwise t-statistics using SPM2.
1) The ADHD subjects with the A allele (risk allele) at the G1287A polymorphism showed reduced perfusion in the left middle frontal gyrus, left inferior parietal lobule, precuneus, right superior frontal gyrus, and right superior parietal lobule as compared with ADHD subjects without the A allele (p< 0.001).
2) The ADHD subjects with the A allele at the G1287A polymorphism showed increased perfusion in the right middle frontal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, right fusiform gyrus, right precentral gyrus, and right anterior lobe of cerebellum as compared with ADHD subjects without the A allele (p< 0.001).
3) No significant perfusion differences were found between ADHD subjects with and without the T allele (risk allele) at the -3081(A/T) polymorphism.
Our findings suggest that the SLC6A2 G1287A polymorphism might exert differential effects on rCBF in children with ADHD.
The frequency of organ somatization in multimedical network was the object of study.
Inventory for clinical-anamnestic behavior sign of adaptation form of disease of patients with comorbid phenomenon and standard scales for value of anxiety and depressions were used.
Patients with somatoform pain more complicated in pharmacologic treatment, have complex diagnostic procedures, sometimes surgical interventions, were are often cases of analgesic dependence 5,8 (P< 0,05). The patient with idiopathic pain (antidepressant therapy's reply 4,2 (P< 0,05) and cognitive therapy's 2,8(P< 0,05)) and organ somatizations (analgesic dependence 3,5 (P< 0,05), antidepressant therapy's effect 4,3 (P< 0,05) and the cognitive therapy's reply 3,4(P< 0,05)) almost never has decided the idea about the mental nature of agonizing somatic sensations, seldom collaborate with psychiatrists.
The phenomenon of somatization is a group of disorders in the base of which mechanisms of the psychical adaptation and behavior are. The admission of axial somatization's symptoms as mechanisms of the psychical adaptation and behavior and additional, forming by the purposeful interview of the patient, is appearing to be reasons, that is making actual questions of the effective competent communication for the optimization of therapeutic interventions. Thereby, the phenomenon of the somatization as mechanisms of the psychical adaptation and behavior is axial symptoms and cultural dependent features forming in the structure of the purposeful interview and the doctor's clinical estimation of the patient - are additional.
Schizophrenia is highly familial neuropsychiatric disorder with heritability estimated at 60-90%. Even unaffected first-degree relatives of schizophrenia manifested some neuropsychological abnormalities as well as neurologic soft sign and morphologic anomalies. the aim of this study was to evaluate personality profile in first-degree relatives of schizophrenia compared to their schizophrenia probands and healthy controls and whether personality profile might be endophenotype of schizophrenia.
The subjects were 97 first-degree relatives of schizophrenia, 48 their schizophrenia probands, and 106 healthy controls, who completed Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) scale. Relatives were further divided into presumed carriers and pesumed non-carriers by schizophrenia genetic loading. Group difference in TCI scores were compared by general linear model using age and gender as covariates.
1. There were significant group differences in HA scores between healthy controls, relatives, and probands after controlling age and gender, in that HA scores were increased by healthy controls, relatives, and probands in order.
2. Presumed carriers have higher HA scores than presumed non-carriers and healthy controls.
3. Proband group showed significantly lower RD and lower P in temperament dimension and lower SD, lower C, and higher ST in character dimension compared to other groups.
We found that HA scores of first-degree relatives of schizophrenia is intermediate level between schizophrenia probands and healthy controls. Considering increase of HA with schizophrenia genetic loading, HA may be potential endophenotype of schizophrenia. Further research with longitudinal follow up is needed to elucidate the clinical implication of high HA observed in schizophrenia family.
There are two major forms of long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic transmission in the central nervous system, which require activation of either N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) or metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). In synapses in the perirhinal cortex we have directly compared the Ca2+ signalling mechanisms involved in NMDAR-LTD and mGluR-LTD. Whilst both forms of LTD involve Ca2+ release from intracellular stores the Ca2+ sensors involved are different; NMDAR-LTD involves calmodulin, whilst mGluR-LTD involves the neuronal Ca2+ sensor (NCS) protein NCS-1. In addition, there is a specific requirement for IP3 and PKC as well as protein interacting with C-kinase (PICK-1) in mGluR-LTD. NCS-1 binds directly to PICK1, via its BAR domain, in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Furthermore, the NCS-1-PICK1 association is stimulated by activation of mGluRs, but not NMDARs, and introduction of a PICK1 BAR domain fusion protein specifically blocks mGluR-LTD. Thus, NCS-1 is a component of a novel mechanism involved in mGluR-LTD.
There have been many changes in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
It is necessary to develop guidelines that can more aptly respond to cultural issues and specifics in different countries.
The Korean Medication Algorithm for Bipolar Disorder (KMAP-BP) was firstly published in 2002, with updates in 2006 and 2010. This third update reviewed the experts' consensus of opinion on the pharmacological treatments of bipolar disorder.
The newly revised questionnaire composed of 55 key questions about clinical situations including 223 sub-items was sent to the experts.
Combination of mood stabilizer (MS) and atypical antipsychotic (AAP) was the first-line treatment option in acute mania. For the management of severe psychotic bipolar depression, combination of MS and AAP, combination of AAP and LTG, combination of MS, AAP and AD or LTG, combination of AAP and AD, and combination of AAP, AD and LTG was the first-line treatments. Combination of MS and AAP was the treatment of choice for management of mixed features. Combination of MS and AAP, MS or AAP monotherapy was the first-line options for management of maintenance phase after manic episode. For maintenance treatment after bipolar I depression, combination of MS and AAP, combination of MS and LTG, combination of AAP and LTG, MS or LTG monotherapy, and combination of MS, AAP and LTG were the first-line options.
Despite the limitations of expert consensus guideline, KMAP-BP 2014 may reflect the current patterns of clinical practice and recent researches.

Hi everyone,
As you read in the title I'm a permanent resident in the us with a foreign non-science bachelor degree (graduated with honors). I've decided to pursue my dream of becoming a physician, and i'm a little bit stuck with a decision :
Since i have to get my prereqs before i can apply, i was wondering where should i take the courses, should i apply for a formal postbacc, a DYI postbacc, or should i apply to a 4 year college and get an undergrad degree while taking my courses ?
A postbacc program or dyi program could be a faster way of getting my prereqs (knowing that i'm 27), on the other hand, AAMC doesn't verify foreign transcripts/degrees and will submit the grades as non verified.
Can anyone relate or give me their opinion ?
Hi everyone,
Hi Adam,
I am in almost the same situation as you are in!
I've earned BS Food Science and Nutrition in South Korean and went to Loma Linda University(California) for my MS but dropped out due to financial and family issues.
I was actually thinking about getting Accelerated BSN to get my degree in a year and during my gap year to work and prep for MCAT. Also getting more experience in clinical settings…
I am not 100% sure if this is the right way but I just want to follow the path that I've planned.
From my research though, I don't think postbac is a great option for us since most of the medical school requires a BS or higher degree from US/Canada Fully accredited institution…
Well, I am 33 and still chasing my dream !! So, please don't give up! good luck with you as well!!
Hi Guys,
From the info I have gathered. Enroll in a 4 year program and have your credits evaluated and transferred to a college or university. Take all your prerequisite courses and then you can apply to a Med School in the U.S that will accept your international degree. I actually contacted AAMC and they told me they accept transcripts from a secondary institution in the U.S.
there are accelerated courses for obtaining a bachelor's degree if you have already completed collegiate
they last 2 years

Health scares inspire Tweed Coast Tigers' stalwarts
'Nobody gets paid at this club, but everyone gets rewarded with good times, mateship, and premierships' - that's the National Volunteers Week message from a pair of Tweed Coast Tigers stalwarts who survived freakish medical scares to take on coaching roles with the local AFL club this season.
The Tigers travel to Casino on Saturday to play Lismore with Anthony Pope coaching reserve grade and James Walle guiding the seniors, with regular coach Jonathon Bevan away travelling overseas.
Good friends and premiership-winning team mates, Pope (40) and Walle (36) found themselves in eerily similar life-threatening medical situations on the eve of the season.
"I was just at home with the family when my speech started to slur and the side of my face went all droopy," Pope said.
"I was so lucky my family realised they were the signs of a stroke and got me to hospital as soon as possible.
"I spent five days in the stroke ward and after seeing some of the people in there doing it really tough with serious long-term effects, I'm just so thankful to be alive and on my feet, back coaching surfing and being involved with the footy club."
While he was in hospital, Pope sent a message to Walle to tell him what happened. He was stunned to learn his mate was also facing a medical emergency.
"I got the text from Popey just after I'd been in for an MRI due to persistent headaches and pain," Walle said.
"Turns out, I'd burst a blood vessel in my brain and had a number of mini-strokes at footy training and at the beach.
"It's just so completely freakish that we both found ourselves in similar situations within hours of each other."
Pope and Walle say their stories show the importance of knowing the signs of stroke, listening to your body and getting the right help.
"It's been an absolute reality check for both of us and a reminder we're not bullet proof," Walle said.
"It certainly makes you appreciate the people around you, your family and your mates," Pope said.
A professional surf coach, Pope was diagnosed with a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) otherwise known as a hole in the heart. He underwent surgery and is recovering well.
Walle was found to have a blood vessel disease and will meet with a surgeon in a few weeks and hopes to be back playing this year.
Accomplished leaders at the club and long-time committee members, Pope and Walle show the value of volunteers in community sport.
"I just love this club, it's a tribal community from the little grommies running around through to the seniors and now the women's team," Pope said.
"It was an incredibly proud moment to see my sons Kyriel and Bodhi pull on the yellow and black in senior footy the first time together last week."
"I wish I could have been out there with them, I still struggle not being able to play - but singing that winning song with them, the pure emotion that came with it is something I'll never forget."
Walle also has children involved with the club juniors and his wife Kiri is vice-captain of the new Tigers women's team.
"It was surreal and exciting to watch Kiri run out there for the first time and get stuck in," Walle said.
"Without this footy club I reckon me and Popey would have gone into a pretty dark place when we got sick.
"It's important we acknowledge in National Volunteers Week the many hands that make this club tick.
"We are all volunteers and we do it, not to get a pat on the back, but for the mateship and good times that are such a big part of Tigerland."
