Abstract Root‐induced changes in the rhizosphere may affect mineral nutrition of plants various ways. Examples for this are pH response to source nitrogen (NH 4 ‐N versus NO 3 ‐N), and iron phosphorus deficiency. These can readily be demonstrated by infiltration soil with agar containing a indicator. The as much 2 units higher or lower than bulk soil. Also along roots distinct differences exist. In deficiency most plant species their apical root zones increase rate H + net excretion...
Frailty and multimorbidity are common in older adults, but the prevalence interaction of these conditions surgical patients remain unclear. This study describes clinical characteristics a heterogeneous cohort UK patients. We conducted prospective observational during 5 days March 2022, aiming to recruit all aged 60 yr undergoing surgery, excluding minor procedures (e.g. cataract surgery). Data were collected on patient characteristics, care, frailty, measures. A total 7134 from 214 NHS...
What does it mean to 'drop out' of therapy? Many definitions 'dropout' have been proposed, but the most widely accepted is client ending treatment without agreement their therapist. However, this in some ways an external criterion that not take into account client's experience therapy, or reasons for prematurely. This study aimed identify whether there were more meaningful categories dropout than existing definition, and test refined categorization was associated with clinical outcomes....

Once variety covariates potential bidirectional nature were taken into account, path model showed that involvement with their significantly predicted better at 3, although relationship was not strong.

Objective: Therapy dropout is a common occurrence, especially in adolescence. This study investigated whether could be predicted from range of child, family, and treatment factors sample adolescents receiving therapy for depression. Method: draws on data 406 participants the IMPACT study, randomized controlled trial, investigating three types adolescent Logistic regression was used to estimate effects predictors odds dropout. Results: Few pre-treatment were found, with only significant being...
The therapeutic alliance predicts dropout from psychological therapy, and ruptures in the may also predict dropout, yet there is a dearth of research with adolescents. This study investigated whether markers rupture-repair were indicative different types treatment ending adolescents receiving for depression. Data IMPACT study, trial investigating effectiveness therapies adolescent Participants randomly allocated to receive brief psychosocial intervention, cognitive-behavioral or short-term...
Maternity care has to be available 24 hours a day, seven days week. It is known that obstetric intervention can influence the time of birth, but no previous analysis at national level in England yet investigated detail ways which day and birth varies by onset labour mode giving birth.
Life course researchers have increasingly explored optimal matching analysis (OMA) as a tool for the of sequences, such sections people's status biographies. OMA is usually employed in combination with cluster (CA) to create classifications sequences. In this article, we introduce an analytic strategy that allows assessing classification's internal validity. Using ideal typical sequence representations, test different algorithms and are able optimise fit data. An application analyses...
Abstract We developed a digitally enabled care pathway for acute kidney injury (AKI) management incorporating mobile detection application, specialist clinical response team and protocol. Clinical outcome data were collected from adults with AKI on emergency admission before (May 2016 to January 2017) after September deployment at the intervention site another not receiving intervention. Changes in primary (serum creatinine recovery ≤120% baseline hospital discharge) secondary outcomes...
Approximately 30 000 emergency laparotomies are performed each year in England and Wales. Patients with pathology of the gastrointestinal tract requiring laparotomy managed by general surgeons an elective special interest focused on either upper or lower tract. This study investigated impact mortality after laparotomy.Adult patients having colorectal gastroduodenal were identified from National Emergency Laparotomy Audit database grouped according to operative procedure. Outcomes included...
Enhanced recovery pathways are associated with improved postoperative outcomes. However, as enhanced have become more complex and varied, compliance has reduced. The 'DrEaMing' bundle re-prioritises early delivery of drinking, eating, mobilising. We investigated relationships between DrEaMing compliance, hospital length stay (LOS), complications in a prospective multicentre major surgical cohort.
Abstract Background Around 30,000 emergency laparotomies are performed annually in the UK. Over half people aged ≥ 65 years and a third frail. Frailty its association with 90-day mortality is well documented. Longer-term risk has been less extensively studied, despite clear implications for person-centred care. We aimed to estimate influence of frailty on short (<90 days) longer-term (≥ 90 following laparotomy. Methods A retrospective analysis National Emergency Laparotomy Audit...
Abstract Introduction Around 30,000 emergency laparotomies are performed each year across the United Kingdom. Over half in people aged 65 years or above, with a third of this group living frailty. The association between frailty and 90-day mortality following surgery is well documented, but longer-term risk has been less extensively studied, despite clear implications for person-centred care. This study aimed to estimate influence on (> 90 days) laparotomy. Methods A retrospective...
