Abstract Background Sleep problems are a modifiable risk factor for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Yet, sparse research has examined temporal relationships between sleep disturbance, ideation, psychological factors implicated in suicide, such as entrapment. This is the first in-the-moment investigation of objective subjective parameters, perceptions Methods Fifty-one participants with current ideation completed week-long ecological momentary assessments. An actigraph watch was worn...

As the evidence base for study of mental health problems develops, there is a need increasingly rigorous and systematic research methodologies. Complex questions require complex methodological approaches. Recognising this, MRC guidelines developing testing interventions place qualitative methods as integral to each stage intervention development implementation. However, has lagged behind many other healthcare specialities in using within its base. Rigour raises similar issues quantitative...
Novel multiple myeloma (MM) therapies have increased patient longevity but are often associated with notable symptom burden. This study quantified the effect of general level, specific symptoms, and treatment-related adverse events (AEs) on MM patients' health-related quality life (HRQoL).The European Organization for Research Treatment Cancer (EORTC) generic cancer questionnaire (Quality Life Questionnaire Core 30) MM-specific (QLQ-MY20) were used in this to assess HRQoL. Data collected...
There is a need for theoretically grounded and testable suicide-focused psychological therapies, especially in people with severe mental health problems, specifically non-affective psychosis. We aimed to test both the underlying mechanisms efficacy of therapy, cognitive behavioural suicide prevention psychosis (CBSPp). did multicentre, assessor-masked, randomised controlled trial conducted at four UK National Health Service (NHS) sites. Participants were eligible enrolment if they 18 years...
A program for the fast simulation of electromagnetic and hadronic showers using parameterizations longitudinal lateral profile is described. The fluctuations correlations parameters are taken into account in a consistent way. Comparisons with data over wide energy range made.
The level of participation in research by GPs is low internationally. Previous reports the reasons why practitioners decline opportunities for have tended to recount barriers that they describe as if are objective accounts.By theoretical sampling who had declined participate a trial, we sought interpret functional significance and interrelationship reported.Twenty-three trial training manage medically unexplained symptoms were interviewed their accounts analysed interpretatively.The...
Background Reattribution is frequently taught to general practitioners (GPs) as a structured consultation that provides psychological explanation for medically unexplained symptoms. Aims To determine if practice-based training of GPs in reattribution changes doctor–patient communication, thereby improving outcomes patients with symptoms 3 months' duration. Method Cluster randomised controlled trial 16 practices, 74 and 141 6 hours v. treatment usual. Results With training, the proportion...
The tetracyclines are effective antibiotics for the treatment of exacerbations chronic bronchitis and also extensively used long-term acne vulgaris. Their more general use has, however, diminished because an increasing incidence tetracycline resistance among many formerly susceptible bacteria their effects on developing teeth contraindicate in pregnancy childhood. Moreover patients with pyelonephritis may further impair renal function.<sup>1</sup> New special interest if they have any...
People living in deprived areas are more likely to be overweight or obese, have poorer health outcomes, and tend benefit less from interventions than those affluent backgrounds. One approach address such inequalities is tailor existing low socio-economic populations, yet there limited evidence inform their design. This study aims identify how best lifestyle populations improve outcomes.Following direct observations of community-run weight loss groups, we interviewed 11 group facilitators 14...
Objectives Respiratory tract infections are frequently managed by nurse and pharmacist prescribers, these prescribers responsible for 8% of all primary care antibiotic prescriptions. Few studies have explored prescribing among interventions to target their behaviour do not exist. Research objectives were to: (1) use the Theoretical Domains Framework identify factors that influence prescriber management respiratory (2) change techniques (BCTs) can be used as basis development a theoretically...
