Abstract Few studies assessing the effects of COVID-19 on mental health include prospective markers risk and resilience necessary to understand mitigate combined impacts pandemic, lockdowns, other societal responses. This population-based study young adults includes individuals from Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network ( n = 2403) recruited English primary care services schools 2012–2013 when aged 14–24. Participants were followed up three times thereafter, most recently during initial...
Music performance anxiety (MPA) is considered a social disorder (SAD). Recent conceptualizations, however, challenge existing MPA definitions, distinguishing from SAD. In this study, we aim to provide systematic analysis of interdependencies other disorders through graphical modeling and cluster analysis. Participants were 82 music students ( M age = 23.5 years, SD 3.4 years; 69.5% women) with the majority being vocal (30.5%), string (24.4%), or piano (19.5%) students. was measured using...
Background Evidence suggests reduced survival rates following Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in people with preexisting mental disorders, especially psychotic before the broad introduction of vaccines. It remains unknown whether this elevated mortality risk persisted at later phases pandemic and when accounting for confounding effect vaccination uptake clinically recorded physical comorbidities. Methods findings We used data from Czech national health...
There is growing concern about how people with eating disorders are impacted by the widespread societal restructuring during COVID-19 crisis. We aimed to examine factors relating impact of pandemic associate and quantify this relationship while adjusting for concurrent longitudinal parameters risk. gathered demographic, behavioral clinical data pre- mid-pandemic as well childhood trauma history from a online survey 489 adults (mean age 23.4 years) recruited Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network...
This study aimed to examine the extent which music performance anxiety relates retrospectively perceived parenting style and adult attachment behaviour. Participants were 82 students ( M age = 23.5 years, SD 3.4) with majority being vocal (30.5%), string (24.4%) or piano (19.5%) each about 20 opportunities per year. Music was assessed using German version of Kenny Performance Anxiety Inventory. Parenting measured by retrospective self-report Measure Style, behaviour Relationship...
Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services address anxiety and depression in primary care, with psychotic disorders typically excluded. Our previous research found 1 4 patients report distressing experiences (PE) alongside common mental disorders, yet little is known about their clinical presentation impact on recovery.We used the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences - Positive Scale (CAPE-P15) assess symptomatic profile PE within IAPT settings across three National...
Variability of Practice (VOP) refers to the acquisition a particular target movement by practicing range varying targets rather than focusing on fixed repetitions only. VOP has been demonstrated have beneficial effects transfer novel task and skill consolidation. This study extends line research musical practice. In resembling barrier-knockdown paradigm, 36 music students trained perform wide left-hand interval leap piano. Performance at distance was tested before after 30-minute...
Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) struggle to learn their native for no apparent reason. While research on the neurobiological underpinnings of has focused role corticostriatal systems, little is known about cerebellum in DLD. Corticocerebellar circuits might be involved as they contribute complex sensorimotor skill learning, including acquisition spoken language. Here, we used diffusion-weighted imaging data from 77 typically developing and 54 children DLD performed...
Initial discussions about the COVID-19 pandemic often overlooked its impact on young adults. By employing a qualitative approach nested within an ongoing general population cohort study, we seek to fill gap in literature by providing insights into longer-term this demographic.
Background: In the so far published trials on qigong and exercise therapies, methods especially interventions applied are rarely described in detail. Therefore, we report development of interventions, study design protocols a randomised controlled multi-centre trial. Objective: The aim was to develop intervention an therapy for elderly patients evaluate whether is more effective than (1) no treatment or (2) therapy. Development Interventions: consensus process with experts physiotherapists...

Purpose: Initial discussions about the COVID-19 pandemic often overlooked its impact on young adults. Our research aimed to explore how this group experienced pandemic, and specifically it affected their mental health, relationships, careers. Methods: Data collection involved use of in-depth semi-structured interviews. Using a pre-determined sampling frame, we purposively recruited 30 participants based age, gender, ethnicity, deprivation from Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network (NSPN). The...
