Retrospective Respect for Education - Male Australian Footballers retrospectively appreciate education post-matriculation
Introduction and Purpose: Males who excel at sport whilst still at school trivialize education in favour of sport. This study of 12 male Australian footballers aims to examine the hierarchy between education and sport of Australian footballers. Material and Method: Four rugby league,four rugby union and four Australian Rules footballers underwent life history interviews and showed clear prioristation of sport during school. Results: However, the importance of education post-secondary school was recognized by these footballers. This change in perspective supports current research and extends the research by describing perspectives of Australian Footballers post-secondary school. Summary: These findings are interesting in that they demonstrate the initial ascendancy of sport and the retrospective significance of education over sport

A simple technique for flat osmicating and flat embedding of immunolabelled vibratome sections of the rat spinal cord for light and electron microscopy
We describe here a simple technique for flat-osmicating and flat-embedding of immunolabelled vibratome sections. The technique is particularly useful for large specimens such as whole cross-sections of rat spinal cord. After the vibratome section has been flat-osmicated on a flat surface under a glass cover slip, it is dehydrated and then embedded by placing it in a small drop of epoxy resin on a flat base of polypropylene plastic and overlaying a small square piece of cellulose acetate cut from heat-resistant overhead projector transparency film for photocopying. The thin layer of resin containing the flat-embedded vibratome section is then separated from the base and glued onto the flat end of a pre-polymerised blank block of resin. The method produces flat-embedded vibratome sections and thus allows serial large uniformly labelled semithin and ultrathin sections to be obtained of the whole cross-section of the rat spinal cord. This facilitates the observation and quantification of labelled cells in the specimen. Because of its simplicity the technique also allows one worker to process more than 100 vibratome sections at the one time

Approaches and challenges to the study of loess—Introduction to the LoessFest Special Issue
In September 2016, the annual meeting of the International Union for Quaternary Research's Loess and Pedostratigraphy Focus Group, traditionally referred to as a LoessFest, met in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA. The 2016 LoessFest focused on thin loess deposits and loess transportation surfaces. This LoessFest included 75 registered participants from 10 countries. Almost half of the participants were from outside the United States, and 18 of the participants were students. This review is the introduction to the special issue for Quaternary Research that originated from presentations and discussions at the 2016 LoessFest. This introduction highlights current understanding and ongoing work on loess in various regions of the world and provides brief summaries of some of the current approaches/strategies used to study loess deposits
International genome-wide meta-analysis identifies new primary biliary cirrhosis risk loci and targetable pathogenic pathways.
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a classical autoimmune liver disease for which effective immunomodulatory therapy is lacking. Here we perform meta-analyses of discovery data sets from genome-wide association studies of European subjects (n=2,764 cases and 10,475 controls) followed by validation genotyping in an independent cohort (n=3,716 cases and 4,261 controls). We discover and validate six previously unknown risk loci for PBC (Pcombined<5 × 10(-8)) and used pathway analysis to identify JAK-STAT/IL12/IL27 signalling and cytokine-cytokine pathways, for which relevant therapies exist
