eme oxygenase-1, glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit, and GSH-Px) in the liver of LPS-induced broilers. In conclusion, dietary taurine supplementation in broilers mitigated LPS-induced defects in ADG, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses.

By law, covid-19 disease and deaths in workers may lead to coroners' inquests and/or Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigations.

This study assesses the adequacy of these statutory means to yield recommendations for prevention of acquiring covid-19 infection from work.

Covid-19 guidance from the chief coroner and the HSE was appraised, including using Office for National Statistics (ONS) data. Practitioners were asked to estimate the likelihood that covid-19 disease may have arisen from 'near-miss' scenarios. Data from the judiciary and the HSE were analysed.

The coroners' guidance allowed a wider range of reports of death than did the HSE and conformed better with ONS data on covid-19 mortality by occupation. In the practitioner survey, 62 respondents considered a higher likelihood that reported covid-19 cases would have arisen from the scenario deemed unreportable as a 'dangerous occurrence' by HSE than the reportable scenario (P < 0.001). On average there was only one coroner's report to prevent future death from occupational disease every year in England and Wales. The HSE dealt with a yearly average of 1611 reports of work-related disease including 104 on biological agents, but has received about 9000 covid-19 reports.

Current HSE guidance for reporting work-related covid-19 may miss many thousands of cases and needs further iteration. Coroners have very limited experience of inquiry into occupational disease caused by biological agents compared with the HSE. Chloroquine Concerns regarding national policy such as on protective equipment warrant a full public inquiry.

To characterize how mandibular advancement splint (MAS) alters inspiratory tongue movement in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during wakefulness and whether this is associated with MAS treatment outcome.

A total of 87 untreated OSA participants (20 women, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) 7-102 events/h, aged 19-76 years) underwent a 3T MRI with a MAS in situ. Mid-sagittal tagged images quantified inspiratory tongue movement with the mandible in a neutral position and advanced to 70% of the maximum. Movement was quantified with harmonic phase methods. Treatment outcome was determined after at least 9 weeks of therapy.

A total of 72 participants completed the study 34 were responders (AHI < 5 or AHI ≤ 10events/h with >50% reduction in AHI), 9 were partial responders (>50% reduction in AHI but AHI > 10 events/h), and 29 nonresponders (change in AHI <50% and AHI ≥ 10 events/h). About 62% (45/72) of participants had minimal inspiratory tongue movement (<1 mm) in the neutral position, and this increased to 72% (52/72) after advancing the mandible. Mandibular advancement altered inspiratory tongue movement pattern for 40% (29/72) of participants. When tongue dilatory patterns altered with advancement, 80% (4/5) of those who changed to a counterproductive movement pattern (posterior movement >1 mm) were nonresponders and 71% (5/7) of those who changed to beneficial (anterior movement >1 mm) were partial or complete responders.

The mandibular advancement action on upper airway dilator muscles differs between individuals. When mandibular advancement alters inspiratory tongue movement, therapeutic response to MAS therapy was more common among those who convert to a beneficial movement pattern.

Cell-to-cell differences in expression were detected in ten such loci (carA, dgoR, holA, nanA, ssaN, STM1290, STM3276, STM5308, gtr and opvAB), with concomitant formation of ON and OFF subpopulations. The ON and OFF subpopulation sizes varied depending on the growth conditions, suggesting that the population structure can be modulated by environmental control. All the loci under study except STM5308 displayed altered patterns of expression in strains lacking or overproducing Dam methylase, thereby confirming control by Dam methylation. Bioinformatic analysis identified potential binding sites for transcription factors OxyR, CRP and Fur, and analysis of expression in mutant backgrounds confirmed transcriptional control by one or more of such factors. Surveys of gene expression in pairwise combinations of Dam methylation-dependent loci revealed independent switching, thus predicting the formation of a high number of cell variants. This study expands the list of S. enterica loci under transcriptional control by Dam methylation, and underscores the relevance of the DNA adenine methylome as a source of phenotypic heterogeneity.

To prospectively examine the association between sleep quality and incident cancer risk in the elderly.

A total of 10,036 participants aged ≥50 years free of cancer at baseline from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing at wave 4 (2008) were included, and followed up until 2016. The primary endpoint was new onset physician-diagnosed cancer. Chloroquine Sleep quality was assessed by four questions regarding the frequency of sleep problems and overall subjective feeling of sleep quality in the last month, with higher score denoting poorer sleep quality. The multivariable Cox regression model was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for incident cancer risk according to sleep quality.

At 8-year follow-up, a total of 745 (7.4%) participants developed cancer. Compared with good sleep quality at baseline, HR (95% CI) for incident cancer risk was 1.328 (1.061, 1.662) for intermediate quality, 1.586 (1.149, 2.189) for poor quality. Similarly, compared with maintaining good sleep quality in the first 4 years, HR (95% CI) for incident cancer risk was 1.
