Background The 'deprivation amplification' hypothesis suggests that residents of deprived neighbourhoods have universally poorer access to high-quality food environments, which in turn contributes the development spatial inequalities diet and diet-related chronic disease. This paper presents results from a study quantified grocery stores selling fresh fruit vegetables four environmental settings Scotland, UK. Methods Spatial accessibility, as measured by network travel times, 457 located 205...
Abstract Objectives To develop an objective, nutrient-based, healthy eating indicator shopping basket (HEISB) tool for use in studies of access to food. Design Tool development used a literature search identify previous practice, web information on current definition foods by the UK Food Standards Agency, and population-based dietary surveys culturally acceptable foods. These findings were then appraised with respect practical fieldwork considerations. Setting The review took account...
Household transmission contributes to SARS-CoV-2 spread, but the role of children in is unclear. We conducted a study that included symptomatic and asymptomatic adults exposed their households with objective determining how transmitted within households.In this case-ascertained antibody-surveillance study, we enrolled Ottawa, Ontario, which at least 1 household member had tested positive for on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction testing. The enrolment period was September 2020...
Previous research has suggested that fruits and vegetables are more expensive less readily available in deprived communities. However, this evidence is mainly based on small samples drawn from specific communities often located urban settings thus not generalisable to national contexts. The present study explores the influence of neighbourhood deprivation local retail structure price availability fruit a sample areas representing diversity urban-rural environments across Scotland, UK.A 310...
Importance Identifying research priorities of patients with concussion, their caregivers, and clinicians is important to ensure future concussion reflects the needs those who will benefit from research. Objective To prioritize questions perspectives patients, clinicians. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional survey study used standardized James Lind Alliance priority-setting partnership methods (2 online surveys 1 virtual consensus workshop using modified Delphi nominal group...
We have carried out single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy centered on the putamen both ipsilateral and contralateral to worst affected side in nine subjects with drug naive idiopathic Parkinson9s disease(IPD); seven chronically levodopa-treated dyskinetic IPD subjects; 11 age-matched healthy controls. Measurements of N-acetylaspartate(NAA)/choline (Cho), NAA/(Creatine + Phosphocreatine) (Cr+PCr), Cho/(Cr+PCr) were made. found a significant reduction NAA/Cho ratios from most...
Twenty-five cases of benign giant duodenal ulcer have been studied. In every case a barium meal examination showed an crater with radiographic diameter at least 2 centimetres. Abdominal pain was the commonest symptom but less than half patients had characteristic chronic peptic ulcer. Haemorrhage from occurred in large majority them. The radiological appearances are described, and it has shown that may be missed through being mistaken for cap or else misdiagnosed.It appears death rate this...
Introduction Concussion affects over 400 000 Canadians annually, with a range of causes and impacts on health-related quality life. Research to date has disproportionately focused athletes, military personnel level I trauma centre patients, may not be applicable the broader community. The TRANSCENDENT Program aims address patient- clinician-identified research priorities, through integration clinical data from patients all ages injury mechanisms, patient-reported outcomes objective...
While ideal curricular structures for effective teaching of evidence-based medicine (EBM) have not been definitively determined, optimal strategies ensure that EBM is interactive and clinically based, aligns with major trends in education health care, uses longitudinally integrated, whole-task activities.The authors developed a longitudinal, semester-long project, embedded first-year course, through which they taught using Wikipedia as platform. Students worked individually small groups to...
Fifty-eight patients with endoscopically confirmed benign gastric ulceration were randomly allocated to treatment 150 mg ranitidine twice daily, placebo matching or 200 Cimetidine three times daily and 400 at night. Patients endoscoped monthly intervals for up 3 months, the endoscopist being unaware of treatment. Significantly more ulcers (p < 0.05) had healed after 2 months (14 18, 78%) (17 20, 85%) than (9 45%; P (15 88%) (18 90%) (11 55%; p 0.05). Forty-eight in a double-blind...

Ranitidine is a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist which differs in chemical structure from both and cimetidine. Animal studies have shown that it potent, specific competitive with highly effective inhibitory action upon the release of acid pepsin gastric secretion invoked by wide range secretory stimulants. Similar pharmacological properties been man. It has no other measurable effect resulting blockade H2-receptors, nor does appear to exert any biological effects The ranitidine are...
Concussion in children and adolescents is an important health concern. Most paediatric patients fully recover 1 month or less following acute concussion. However, some experience prolonged persistent concussion symptoms for months. Those with post-concussion-related may have impaired quality of life, limited involvement social, academic, physical activities associated mental implications. In this review, we share key updated clinical recommendations from the Living Guideline Diagnosing...
Medical information on English Wikipedia was accessed over 2 billion times in 2018. Our goal to develop an automated system assist volunteers improve articles with high-quality sources from journals such as The Cochrane Library. We created indexing by linking available reviews the library disease-related and evaluating relationship between quality importance of these number relevant cited reviews. first conducted a bibliometric analysis, identifying relevant/cited Citations were thematically...
Family physicians play an important role in concussion care and are often the first point of contact that patients families have with a medical professional after injury. New evidence has changed recommended management concussions to include greater emphasis on returning priority
