A mutant, leafy head I (lhd 1), was discovered in Japan from the progeny of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) 'Nioudachi' and local line 'Aichikei #3'. Compared with normal plants, the mutant plant is a dwarf with a larger number of intenodes per stem, shorter internodes, and smaller leaves. The plants also head later in the season. Aerial roots are usually produced from the stem nodes during rainy seasons. In characterizing lhd 1, it was found to have many branches with small leaves and many small panicles on the upper part of the plant. Panicle development was severely disturbed in lhd 1 mutants, and the number of leaves produced in the vegetative phase was nearly twice that produced in the wild-type counterpart. The lhd 1 mutant appears to be a heterochronic mutation that is able to extend the vegetative period during development. The frequency of mutants in segregating populations indicated that lhd 1 is a recessive allele. To determine the linkage relationship between the lhd 1 gene and AFLP markers,768 primer combinations were screened for polymorphisms using bulked segregant analyses in two populations with 316 and 30 plants, respectively. Five AFLP markers were linked to the lhd 1 locus. E3/M41-1 and E16/M14-2 cosegregated with lhd 1. E16/M14-1 and E30/M10-1 flanked the gene at a distance of 0.3 cM and E30/M14-2 was linked to lhd 1 at a distance of 0.6 cM.

Little is known about how to develop public health workforce capacity for health equity work. We explored associations of individual and organizational characteristics of local public health departments (LHDs) with competencies essential for advancing health equity. Data included responses of 29,751 staff from 742 LHDs in 48 states to the 2021 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey, plus LHD characteristics and county demographics.

Objective: To examine the association between local health department (LHD) accreditation and COVID-19 community outcomes, including rates of adult vaccination, hospitalization, and death.
Design: We examined county level rates of adult vaccination, hospitalization, and death by LHD accreditation status over the course of the COVID pandemic. Additional independent variables included time period, COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index (CCVI), state public health governance structure, and state policy environment.
Healthcare burden of public hospital gout admissions in New South Wales, Australia.

Department of Rheumatology, Westmead Hospital, Western Sydney Local Health District, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Background And Aims: In New Zealand, the Māori and Pacific Islander population has a higher rate of hospital admissions for gout; however, we lack data for these population groups who reside in Australia. This study examined the pattern of hospital gout admissions in New South Wales (NSW), the most populous state of Australia, with a particular focus on the Māori and Pacific Islander population.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study exploring the pattern of gout admissions in NSW public hospitals in the financial years 2017/2018 to 2019/2020.

Background And Objectives: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurohistopathology are important correlates for evaluation of disease progression in multiple sclerosis (MS). Here we used experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) as an animal model of MS to determine the correlation between clinical EAE severity, MRI and histopathological parameters.
Methods: N = 11 female C57BL/6J mice were immunized with human myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 1-125, while N = 9 remained non-immunized.
