Mixed-method consensus process.Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a common and disabling condition that arises when mechanical stress damages the spinal cord as result of degenerative changes in surrounding structures. RECODE-DCM (REsearch Objectives Common Data Elements for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy) aims to improve efficient use health care resources within field DCM by using multi-stakeholder partnership define research priorities, develop minimum dataset clinical studies,...
Drawing on a 2011 national survey and 50 semi-structured interviews, we explore the differing ways in which those living apart together (LAT) relationships discuss experience notions of commitment. We found that sexual exclusivity LAT is expected by large majority, regardless their reasons for apart. The majority interviewees also expressed high degree commitment to partner terms love, care intimacy, alongside an appreciation increased freedom autonomy has offer. Respondents were divided...
Interpretations of living apart together (LAT) have typically counter-posed ‘new family form’ versus ‘continuist’ perspectives. Recent surveys, however, construct LAT as a heterogeneous category that supports ‘qualified continuist’ position – most people live response to practical circumstances or modern version ‘boy/girlfriend’, although minority represents something new in preferring more permanently. This article interrogates this conclusion by examining depth why together, using...
Marriage rates in twenty-first-century Britain are historically low, divorce and separation high, marriage is no longer generally seen as necessary for legitimate sexual relationships, long-term partnership or even parenting. Yet at the same time weddings have become more prominent, both social aspiration popular culture. But why a wedding, especially an ornate, expensive time-consuming when there appears to be little need do so? Similarly, never been free from cultural norms official...
This paper examines how people living apart together (LATs) maintain their relationships, and describes they view this arrangement. It draws on a 2011 survey LAT in Britain, supplemented by qualitative interviewing. Most LATs Britain live close to partners, have frequent contact with them. At the same time most see terms of monogamous, committed couple, where marriage remains strong normative reference point, as not much different from co-residence risk, emotional security or closeness. Many...
Abstract This article explores how people who live apart from their partners in Britain describe and understand ‘family’. It investigates whether, far, non‐cohabiting partners, friends, ‘blood’ legal ties are seen as ‘family’, practices of care support, feelings closeness related to these constructions. suggests that LAT relationships creatively draw re‐draw the boundaries family belonging ways involve emotionally subjective understandings life, also refer normative constructions what...
About 10% of adults in Britain have a living apart together (LAT) relationship; they are nearly always administratively and legally defined as single but fact partner who lives elsewhere. The question then arises, should LAT couples access to legal rights protection the same way proposed (in Britain) or achieved other jurisdictions) for unmarried cohabitants? Using both national survey in-depth interviews, we find that significant proportion partners extend substantial levels care support...
While the individualisation trend has given way to a relational, reflexive turn in sociology of relationships, there continues be writing out convention and tradition understanding relationship processes (excepting Gilding 2010 ). This paper aims write back into discussions around relationships by drawing on accounts young women central role that plays their narratives. The analysis focuses on: participants’ marital security reflecting desire for permanence an impermanent world; romance...
Sociological debate has dealt with love in a number of different ways. For some, offers unique opportunity; it is path to salvation ( Jackson, 1993 ; Langford, 1999 ). Others, however, take more sceptical approach modern society: for Beck and Beck-Gernsheim (1995) represents the extreme individualization, Illouz (1997) ultimately underpinned by consumerism, perhaps most extreme, Bauman (2003) been destroyed. Giddens slightly (and hopeful) perspective suggests that growing choice freedom,...
Abstract Objectives AO Spine REsearch objectives and Common Data Elements for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy [RECODE-DCM] is a multi-stakeholder consensus process aiming to promote research efficiency in DCM. It aims establish the top 10 uncertainties, through James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership [PSP]. Through process, questions are generated ranked. The inclusion of people with cervical myelopathy [PwCM] central process. We hypothesized that presenting PwCM experience word...
This article is concerned with examining the ways in which young women make choices about their family lives and so doing reproduce traditional unequal gender norms practices.

Marital surname change is a striking example of the survival tradition. A practice emerging from patriarchal history has become embedded in an age detraditionalisation and women’s emancipation. Is tradition marital name just some sort inertia or drag, which will slowly disappear as modernity progresses, does this fulfil more contemporary roles? Are women men dupes to tradition, alternatively do they use further their aims? We examine how different approaches – individualisation theory, new...

Hepatitis A, B, C, syphilis serology, serum creatinine, nucleic acid amplification tests testing for chlamydia gonorrhea were collected. Descriptive statistics, incidence, prevalence calculated.A total 511 participants...
Abstract Introduction AO Spine RECODE-DCM was a multi-stakeholder priority setting partnership (PSP) to define the top ten research priorities for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). Priorities were generated and iteratively refined using series of surveys administered surgeons, other healthcare professionals (oHCP) people with DCM (PwDCM). The aim this work utilise word clouds enable perspectives condition be heard earlier in PSP process than is traditionally case. objective evaluate...

Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) originates from biliary tract epithelium and can be classified anatomically into intrahepatic or extrahepatic CCA. Although a relatively rare disease in the United States Europe, incidence of CCA is on rise with unknown causes. higher Asia etiology associated infections such as liver fluke hepatitis B/C. Prognosis at diagnosis poor median survival time < 1 year, only 10-20% patients are eligible for tumor resection diagnosis. This study examined...
To evaluate health system use, outcomes, and avoided costs when patients with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) conditions are managed in the medical home.
Civil partnerships first became available to mixed-sex couples in England and Wales December 2019. To date, there has been no research exploring the perspectives of who choose become civil partners. We interviewed 21 people, as individuals or couples, were considering, planning, had already entered into a partnership. Our thematic analysis resulted two themes. In Free from patriarchal baggage marriage: partnership clean slate equality, we discuss how participants portrayed marriage imbued...
In this article, we seek to establish the importance of living together apart (LTA), where ex-partners continue co-reside following relationship breakdown. Although LTA is commonplace, it has been almost completely overlooked by family sociology and social policy. Because conceptually unrecognised, there little empirical information because so information, remains unrecognised. attempt break out from loop. First, place within context partnership change. Second, estimate quantitative...
To address the increasing demands for gastroenterology specialty care and wait times, centralized access triage (CAT) systems, telephone support, clinical pathways were implemented to streamline referrals support management of low-risk gastrointestinal (GI) conditions in primary medical home. This study aimed understand providers (PCPs) GI specialists' perceptions these supports, factors that affect implementation identify barriers facilitators implementing supports from both PCP perspectives.
