Abstract In Australia, acute inpatient units within public mental health services have become the last resort for care. This research explored barriers and facilitators to safe, person‐centred, recovery‐oriented care in these settings. It utilised participant observations conducted by nurses units. These were located three distinct facilities, each serving different areas: a large metropolitan suburban area State capital, mid‐sized regional city, small city with rural catchment area. Our...

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is established as an effective intervention in optimising function and quality of life patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, there are very limited data on the effectiveness PR older COPD. We reviewed all attending 8-week outpatient programme. Patients were divided into two groups; Group A (n = 202), below 70 years, B 122), above years age. Outcomes both patient subgroups compared using FEV1, Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT),...

Background Femoral neck fractures are common injuries. Although many studies have compared two-hole dynamic hip screw (DHS) versus multiple cannulated cancellous (CCS) fixation for undisplaced intracapsular fractured of femurs (NOF), there is no consensus on which surgical technique results in better outcomes. The aim our study was to compare DHS and CCS NOFs. primary outcomes were reoperation mortality rates at one year postoperatively. Methodology A retrospective analysis performed...
