<h3>Background</h3> Recurrent microdeletions and microduplications of ∼555 kb at 16p11.2 confer susceptibility to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in up 1% ASD patients. No physical or behavioural features have been identified that distinguish these individuals as having a distinct subtype, but clinical data are limited. <h3>Methods</h3> We report five autistic probands by microarray analysis with copy number variation (CNV) (three deletions, two duplications). Each patient was assessed for...
The frequency of mammographic surveillance for women after diagnosis breast cancer varies globally. aim this study was to evaluate whether less than annual mammography non-inferior in terms cancer-specific survival aged 50 years or older. Mammo-50 a multicentre, randomised, phase 3 trial versus frequent (2-yearly conservation surgery; 3-yearly mastectomy) older at initial invasive non-invasive and who were recurrence free post curative surgery. conducted 114 National Health Service hospitals...
Abstract This paper examines the relationship between income and extent of material hardship explores other factors that might affect hardship. Using panel data from Women's Employment Study, we examine incidence 1997 to 2003 among current former welfare recipients. We then consider which is associated with show decreases monotonically across quintiles distribution for several measures. When measure as average 6‐year study period, a 10 percent increase in 1.1 percentage point decrease...
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a frequent and distressing symptom experienced after cancer treatment. RESTORE the first web-based resource designed to enhance self-efficacy manage CRF following curative-intent The aim of this study test proof concept inform design an effectiveness trial. A multi-centre parallel-group two-armed (1:1) exploratory randomised controlled trial (RCT) with qualitative process evaluation was employed in study. Participants (≥18 years; ≤5 years post treatment...
We use regression discontinuity and kink designs to estimate the impact of need-based grant aid on borrowing educational attainment students enrolled in a large public university system.Pell Grant substantially reduces borrowing: among who would borrow absence Pell Grant, every dollar crowds-out over $1.80 loans.A simple model illustrates that our findings are consistent with facing fixed cost incurring debt.The presence such may lead unintended consequence additional decreasing some...
Abstract This paper illustrates a rigorous approach to developing digital interventions using an evidence-, theory- and person-based approach. Intervention planning included rapid scoping review that identified cancer survivors’ needs, including barriers facilitators intervention success. Review evidence ( N = 49 papers) informed the intervention’s Guiding Principles, theory-based behavioural analysis logic model. The was optimised based on feedback prototype through interviews 96) with...
Independent inquiries have identified that appropriate staffing in maternity units is key to enabling quality care and minimising harm, but optimal levels can be difficult achieve when there a shortage of midwives. The services provided how they are staffed (total staffing, skill-mix deployment) been changing, the effects workforce changes on outcomes not assessed. This study aims explore association between daily midwifery rate reported harmful incidents affecting mothers babies.
Abstract Purpose To use robust consensus methods with individuals lived breast cancer experience to agree the top 10 research priorities improve information and support for patients undergoing surgery in UK. Methods Research uncertainties related submitted by carers were analysed thematically generate summary questions inclusion an online Delphi survey. Individuals completed two rounds including feedback which they selected their from list provided. The most highly ranked survey discussed at...
Many studies show the adverse consequences of insufficient nurse staffing in hospitals, but safe and effective is unlikely to be just about staff numbers. There are considerable areas uncertainty, including whether temporary can safely make up shortfalls permanent using experienced mitigate effect shortages.
This co-production project worked with groups often marginalised in research, order to improve the accessibility and inclusivity of two online patient decision aids through use images. We share reflections on contributors’ experiences, we make recommendations for other teams using processes. The research team public contributor panel chair invited people from a South Asian, Caribbean or African background, aged under 30 over 65 years, LGBTQI+ people, those living access needs disability, low...
Troublesome hot flushes and night sweats (HFNS) are experienced by many women after treatment for breast cancer, impacting significantly on sleep quality of life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is known to be effective the alleviation HFNS. However, it not if can effectively delivered specialist nurses. We investigated whether group CBT, care nurses (BCNs), reduce impact

Demand for genetic testing is increasing across medicine while the genetics workforce remains stable. In response, mainstreaming models, where non-geneticist clinicians are involved in pathway, being introduced. As a standardized approach would facilitate evaluation and optimal patient care, unified framework warranted. Through focus group with clinical experts, conceptual of proposed. consensus process, experts elucidated steps diagnostic care pathway defined set variables that influence...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to co‐create an evidence‐based and theoretically informed web‐based intervention (RESTORE) designed enhance self‐efficacy live with cancer‐related fatigue (CRF) following primary cancer treatment. Methods A nine‐step process the development intervention: (1) review empirical literature; (2) existing patient resources; (3) establish theoretical framework; (4) design team expertise in interventions, CRF people affected by cancer; (5) develop...
