Background Approximately one in ten children aged 5–15 B ritain has a conduct, hyperactivity or emotional disorder. Methods The ritish C hild and A dolescent M ental H ealth S urveys ( BCAMHS ) identified with psychiatric disorder, their use of health, education social care services. Service costs were estimated for each child weighted to estimate the overall economic impact at national level. Results Additional associated disorders totalled £1.47bn 2008. lion's share falls frontline special...
Designing implementation research can be a complex and daunting task, especially for applied health researchers who have not received specialist training in science. We developed the Implementation Science Research Development (ImpRes) tool supplementary guide to address this challenge provide with systematic approach designing research. A multi-method multi-stage was employed. An international, multidisciplinary expert panel engaged an iterative brainstorming consensus-building process...
High numbers of patients discharged from psychiatric hospital care are readmitted within a year. Peer support for discharge has been suggested as an approach to reducing readmission post-discharge. Implementation called in policy, however, evidence effectiveness large rigorous trials is missing. We aimed establish whether peer reduces readmissions the year post-discharge.We report parallel, two-group, individually randomised, controlled superiority trial, with trial personnel masked...

Background Antenatal detection and management of small for gestational age (SGA) is a strategy to reduce stillbirth. Large observational studies provide conflicting results on the effect Growth Assessment Protocol (GAP) in relation SGA reduction stillbirth; best our knowledge, there are no reported randomised control trials. Our aim was determine if GAP improves antenatal compared standard care. Methods findings This pragmatic, superiority, 2-arm, parallel group, open, cluster trial....
Abstract Background To date, beneficial effects of multimodal exercise programmes on Parkinson’s disease (PD) have focused motor symptoms and little attention has been paid to the potential such non-motor PD, which are now universally known as one key drivers quality life a unmet need. We aim explore clinical effectiveness ballet-based dance programme in addressing across all stages progression. Methods A randomised, single-blind, controlled trial 160 people with (Participants will be...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> People of black African and Caribbean ethnicity experience higher rates poorer outcomes type 2 diabetes (T2D) than people white European ethnicity; these inequalities are compounded by poor healthcare access. Cultural tailoring self-management education support (DSMES) programmes has the potential to improve engagement clinical for minority ethnic groups. Healthy Eating & Active Lifestyles Diabetes (HEAL-D) is a co-designed culturally tailored DSMES...
Animal studies have suggested that the hippocampus may play an important role in anxiety as part of Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS), which mediates reactivity to threat and punishment can predict individual's response anxiety-relevant cues a given environment. The aim present structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study was examine relationship between individual differences BIS hippocampal structure, since this has not received sufficient attention non-clinical populations. Thirty...
Abstract Background increasing numbers of older people are undergoing vascular surgery. Preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessment and optimisation (CGA) reduces postoperative complications length hospital stay. Establishing CGA-based perioperative services requires health economic evaluation prior to implementation. Through a modelling-based evaluation, using data from single site clinical trial, this study evaluates whether CGA is cost-effective alternative standard preoperative for...
Background The TANDEM multicentre, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial evaluated whether a tailored psychological intervention based on cognitive behavioural approach for people with COPD and symptoms of anxiety and/or depression improved or compared usual care (control). Methods People moderate to very severe airways obstruction Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale subscale scores indicating mild (HADS-A) (HADS-D) were 1.25:1 (242 181 control). Respiratory health professionals delivered the...
Background People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have high levels of anxiety and depression, which is associated increased morbidity poor uptake effective treatments, such as rehabilitation. Cognitive–behavioural therapy improves mental health people long-term conditions could potentially increase rehabilitation, enabling synergies that enhance the disease. Aim Our aim was to develop evaluate clinical effectiveness cost a tailored cognitive–behavioural approach intervention,...
While antisocial behaviour in younger age groups is largely viewed as a public externality issue, there are also reasons for expecting less favourable life-course outcomes those individuals who follow developmental pathways. Data from UK longitudinal study of delinquent development cohort working class boys used to model the adult labour market implications different pathways 32. A series probit estimations suggests that children identified troublesome by peers and teachers at an early age,...
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a major obstacle in drug delivery for diseases of the brain, and today there no standardized route to surpass it. One technique locally transiently disrupt BBB, focused ultrasound combination with gas-filled microbubbles. However, microbubbles used are typically developed imaging, not BBB disruption. Here we describe efficient opening using promising novel Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT), that recently has been Abraxane® successfully treat subcutaneous tumors...
