Dear Reader

Dear Reader, Coinciding with the 60th Anniversary of IDMA, a true and vibrant transition phase is commencing for your association, its publications and allied activities. Dr. Viranchi Shah, the young and energetic Hon. President from “Vibrant Gujarat” is taking over the reigns of IDMA, with an equally young team of Executive committee members. We are confident that IDMA’s flag will fly high globally, all the more, in the coming years. It is time that the young (and the long-experienced ones too) get ready for the new integrated and synergised challenges of the 2020’s and 2030’s to keep pace with the clarion call for intense pharma research and innovation to keep pace with the west and the rest.

Abstract Background Whilst research and innovation is embedded within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) constitution, Doctors-in-training have little opportunity to contribute to designing, leading and recruiting into clinical trials or cohort studies. We formed the West MidlandsCollaborativeOphthalmologyNetwork forClinicalEffectiveness &Research byTrainees (The West Midlands CONCERT) and undertook a characterisation of post cataract surgery endophthalmitis as a proof-of-concept study to test the feasibility of the CONCERT model. Methods Doctors-in-training formed a collaborative working group to test the concept of delivering a pan-regional clinical effectiveness study across multiple hospital sites by performing retrospective analyses of post cataract endophthalmitis over a 6-year period. Results Overall, 157,653 cataract surgeries were performed by participating centres accredited to deliver the Royal College of Ophthalmologists training curriculum. Thirty-eight cases of post cataract endophthalmitis were identified, giving an incidence of 2.41 per 10,000 cases (0.0241%). A further 15 endophthalmitis cases presented who had surgery in non-training centres, giving a total of 53 cases. The most common organisms were S. epidermidis (14 (51.9%)) and P. aeruginosa (5 (18.5%)). Anterior-chamber and vitreous sampling yielded positive culture in 33.3% (6/18) and 50.9% (27/53), respectively. At 6 months follow-up, 19 (51.4%) patients achieved visual acuities of ≤0.5 LogMAR. Repeat intravitreal injections (11 (20.8%)) and vitrectomy (n = 22 (41.5%)) were not associated with better outcomes. Conclusions Using post cataract endophthalmitis as a pilot cohort, this study highlights the feasibility of using the CONCERT model for studies across multiple sites. A UK-CONCERT could provide a powerful infrastructure enabling characterisation of patient cohorts and a platform for high-quality interventional studies, improving patient care.

scholarly journals Avgustyn Voloshyn: a concept of «the father of the Carpathian Ukraine» in the West Ukrainian press in the 1930s

Deep Sense

An image of A. Voloshyn as a founder of national revival of the Carpathian Ukraine (Carpatho-Ukraine), emergence and evolution of its usage, genre and stylistic features of press publications have been analyzed on the basis of the West Ukrainian periodicals in the late 1930s. For the first time, A. Voloshyn’s designation as a «father», «father of the people», as well as a «national awakener», a «preacher» is found in the newspaper publications in 1934, when the Ukrainian public celebrated his 60th anniversary. At these celebrations, A. Voloshyn also welcomed the orphans whom he had donated his home and whom he had taken care of. It was them who first called him «father», and the public, thereafter, called him «father of orphans». The Western Ukrainian press began calling A. Voloshyn as «the father of national revival of the Carpathian Ukraine» in the period of the Carpathian Ukraine. In the journalists’ viewpoint of that time, this word was best suited to characterize A. Voloshyn, a great patriot and leader of Transcarpathian Ukrainians, a gentle, moderate and tolerant man. Throughout his activities, there was a sign of warmth in his father’s heart, combined with a deep sense of responsibility and rigor. In the context of the analysis of the people’s reverence and love for A. Voloshyn as the «father of Carpathian Ukraine», it should be noted that it had nothing to do with the cult of the then political leaders of Germany, Italy and the USSR. As a spiritual and socio-political leader, A. Voloshin fought for the rights of his people throughout all his conscious life, wrote and published textbooks and newspapers at his own expense, as well as maintained orphanages and raised more than a generation of nationally conscious teachers. All his spiritual, socio-political and cultural activities enabled him to become a model of altruistic patriotic work. He became a man who not only by self-sacrificing work for the weal of his people as well as his martyr death in the Moscow’s NKVD torturer chambers proved a devotion to his nation and his beliefs. Keywords: Avgustyn Voloshyn, the Carpathian Ukraine (Carpatho-Ukraine), «father of people», Moses, national revival.

Local Ambassadors are a key group of Members who are the first point of contact for the Society in their home institutions. The Ambassadors encourage new membership, serve as a conduit for the transfer of ideas between local members and the Executive Committee, and also help to organize local events such as student receptions and sponsored seminars. Each issue of The Biochemist will run profiles of a number of our Ambassadors in different regions. This month we focus on our Ambassadors in Wales and the west of England.

Amphibole Asbestos

Approximately 60,000 tons per day of waste from taconite mining, tailing, are added to the west arm of Lake Superior at Silver Bay. Tailings contain nearly the same amount of quartz and amphibole asbestos, cummingtonite and actinolite in fibrous form. Cummingtonite fibres from 0.01μm in length have been found in the water supply for Minnesota municipalities.The purpose of the research work was to develop a method for asbestos fibre counts and identification in water and apply it for the enumeration of fibres in water samples collected(a) at various stations in Lake Superior at two depth: lm and at the bottom.(b) from various rivers in Lake Superior Drainage Basin.

White Rhino

In the West Nile District of Uganda lives a population of white rhino—those relies of a past age, cumbrous, gentle creatures despite their huge bulk—which estimates only 10 years ago, put at 500. But poachers live in the area, too, and official counts showed that white rhino were being reduced alarmingly. By 1959, they were believed to be diminished to 300.
