A survival appeal for one of the county's major heritage attractions has reached £280,000.
The survival fund appeal launched by the Severn Valley Railway has raised £280,000 so far.It came after a"double whammy" of"escalating costs and lower revenue" prompted urgent action.
Jonathan ‘Gus’ Dunster, managing director of SVR, said they had been overwhelmed at the reaction to the survival fund. “We’ve received thousands of donations already, and these are coming both from people we know well, and some who are digging deep and supporting the railway for the very first time. Some of the stories behind why people want to help us are extremely heart-warming and show what an incredibly special place this railway holds for so many individuals.
"The second was that making this appeal was absolutely the right thing to do, and this was the right time to do it. This brave initiative is going to make all the difference to our long-term survival.

Increased Nerve Density Adversely Affects Outcome in Oral CancerAbstractPurpose:. Perineural invasion (PNI) in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is associated with poor survival. Because of the risk of recurrence, patients with PNI receive additional therapies after surgical resection. Mechanistic studies have shown that nerves in the tumor microenvironment promote aggressive tumor growth. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated whether nerve density (ND) influences tumor growth and patient survival. Moreover, we assessed the reliability of artificial intelligence (AI) in evaluating ND.Experimental Design:. To investigate whether increased ND in OSCC influences patient outcome, we performed survival analyses. Tissue sections of OSCC from 142 patients were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and IHC stains to detect nerves and tumor. ND within the tumor bulk and in the adjacent 2 mm was quantified; normalized ND (NND; bulk ND/adjacent ND) was calculated. The impact of ND on tumor growth was evaluated in chick chorioallantoic-dorsal root ganglia (CAM-DRG) and murine surgical denervation models. Cancer cells were grafted and tumor size quantified. Automated nerve detection, applying the Halo AI platform, was compared with manual assessment.Results:. Disease-specific survival decreased with higher intratumoral ND and NND in tongue SCC. Moreover, NND was associated with worst pattern-of-invasion and PNI. Increasing the number of DRG, in the CAM-DRG model, increased tumor size. Reduction of ND by denervation in a murine model decreased tumor growth. Automated and manual detection of nerves showed high concordance, with an F1 score of 0.977.Conclusions:. High ND enhances tumor growth, and NND is an important prognostic factor that could influence treatment selection for aggressive OSCC.
