TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the spatially resolved excitation properties of the ionised gas in a sample of 646 galaxies using integral field spectroscopy data from SDSS-IV MaNGA.
Abstract: We study the spatially resolved excitation properties of the ionised gas in a sample of 646 galaxies using integral field spectroscopy data from SDSS-IV MaNGA. Making use of Baldwin-Philips-Terlevich diagnostic diagrams we demonstrate the ubiquitous presence of extended (kpc scale) low ionisation emission-line regions (LIERs) in both star forming and quiescent galaxies. In star forming galaxies LIER emission can be associated with diffuse ionised gas, most evident as extra-planar emission in edge-on systems. In addition, we identify two main classes of galaxies displaying LIER emission: `central LIER' (cLIER) galaxies, where central LIER emission is spatially extended, but accompanied by star formation at larger galactocentric distances, and `extended LIER' (eLIER) galaxies, where LIER emission is extended throughout the whole galaxy. In eLIER and cLIER galaxies, LIER emission is associated with radially flat, low H$\alpha$ equivalent width of line emission ($

TL;DR: It can be unhelpful for pain classification systems to combine surgery and trauma in a single category, and studies are needed to identify the operative procedures associated with the development of pain so that preventive measures can be implemented.
Abstract: Surgery and trauma are recognised as important causes of chronic pain, although their overall contribution has not been systematically studied. This paper reports on the contribution of surgery and trauma to chronic pain among 5130 patients attending 10 outpatient clinics located throughout North Britain. Surgery contributed to pain in 22.5% of patients, and was particularly associated with the development of pain in the abdomen and with anal, perineal and genital pain. Trauma was a cause of pain in 18.7% of patients, and was most common in pain in the upper limb, the spine and the lower limb. Patients with chronic pain associated with trauma are on average younger than those with chronic post-surgical pain. Further, and unusually for pain conditions, the trauma patients show an excess of males over females. These findings indicate that it can be unhelpful for pain classification systems to combine surgery and trauma in a single category. The results also point to areas for potentially fruitful research into the aetiology of chronic pain. In particular, studies are needed to identify the operative procedures associated with the development of pain so that preventive measures can be implemented.

TL;DR: The effect of neighbourhood conditions should be looked at using several different ways to define neighbourhoods, and that the size and composition of these neighbourhoods may be different in different parts of a study area.
