[source] Development and validation of a simulation model for blowfly strike of sheepMEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY, Issue 4 2002R. Wall Abstract A comprehensive simulation model for sheep blowfly strike due to Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), which builds on previously published versions but also incorporates important new empirical data, is used to explain patterns of lamb and ewe strike recorded on 370 farms in south-west, south-east and central England and Wales. The model is able to explain a significant percentage of the variance in lamb strike incidence in all four regions, and ewe strike in three of the four regions. The model is able to predict the start of seasonal blowfly strike within one week in three of the four regions for both ewes and lambs, and within 3 weeks in the fourth region. It is concluded that the accuracy of the model will allow it to be used to assess the likely efficacy of new control techniques and the effects of changes in existing husbandry practices on strike incidence. The model could also be used to give sheep farmers advance warning of approaching strike problems. However, the ability to forecast future strike patterns is dependent on the accuracy of the weather projections; the more long-term the forecast, the more approximate the prediction is likely to be. When applied on a regional basis, model forecasts indicate expected average patterns of strike incidence and may not therefore be appropriate for individual farmers whose husbandry practices differ substantially from the average. [source] The effect of new diagnostic criteria for irritable bowel syndrome on community prevalence estimatesNEUROGASTROENTEROLOGY & MOTILITY, Issue 6 2003Y. A. Saito Abstract, The ,Rome' criteria for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have evolved over 15 years with four published versions. The impact of these changes on community prevalence rates is not known. Study aims were to estimate the prevalence of IBS using the four Rome criteria and agreement between Rome II and previous criteria. Questionnaires were mailed to a random sample of Olmsted County, Minnesota residents in 1992. Age- and gender-adjusted prevalence estimates were calculated for Rome II (1999), Rome I (1992), Rome (1990), and Rome (1989) criteria. Per cent agreement and kappa values were calculated to assess agreement. Of 892 eligible subjects, 643 (72%) responded. The age- and gender-adjusted prevalence of IBS was 5.1% [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.1, 7.0], 6.8% (95% CI: 4.7, 8.9), 5.1% (95% CI: 3.2, 7.1) and 27.6% (95% CI: 23.6, 31.5), respectively. In comparison with Rome II criteria, per cent agreement and , values were 97.2% and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.69, 0.88), 96.4% and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.80), and 79.0% and 0.29 (95% CI: 0.19, 0.40), respectively. Thus, although differences were seen with the older criteria, compared with the Rome I criteria, good agreement was seen and community prevalence estimates were similar with the Rome II criteria.
