Oxidative DNA damage is important in aging and the degenerative diseases of such as cancer. Estimates commonly rely on measurements 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (oxo 8 dG), an adduct that occurs also excreted urine after repair. Here we examine difficulties inherent analysis oxo dG, identify sources artifacts, provide solutions to some common methodological problems. A frequent criticism has been phenol extraction artificially increases measured level dG. We found contributes a real but minor...
Peroxynitrite, a powerful mutagenic oxidant and nitrating species, is formed by the near diffusion-limited reaction of ·NO O 2⨪ during activation phagocytes. Chronic inflammation induced phagocytes major contributor to cancer other degenerative diseases. We examined how γ-tocopherol (γT), principal form vitamin E in United States diet, α-tocopherol (αT), supplements, protect against peroxynitrite-induced lipid oxidation. Lipid hydroperoxide formation liposomes (but not isolated low-density...
Introduction Antipsychotic medication is increasingly prescribed to patients with serious mental illness. Patients illness often have cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities, antipsychotics independently increase the risk of cardiometabolic disease. Despite this, many are discharged primary care without planned psychiatric review. We explore perceptions healthcare professionals managers/directors policy regarding reasons for increasing prevalence management in care. Methods Qualitative...
The ability of dietary supplementation with carotenoids to protect chick tissues against oxidative stress in vitro was examined. Male Leghorn chicks were fed on diets supplemented (100 mg supplement/kg diet) either β-carotene, zeaxanthin (β,β-carotene-3,3'-diol), canthaxanthin (β,β-carotene-4,4'-dione) or α-tocopherol, a control diet, from 1 d old until 37 age. Tissues (liver, heart, skeletal muscle and plasma) removed assayed for total α-tocopherol content portions subjected by incubation...
Structured medication reviews (SMRs), introduced in the United Kingdom (UK) 2020, aim to enhance shared decision-making optimisation, particularly for patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. Despite its potential, there is limited empirical evidence on implementation of SMRs, challenges faced process. This study part a larger DynAIRx (Artificial Intelligence dynamic prescribing optimisation care integration multimorbidity) project which aims introduce Artificial (AI) SMRs develop...
Abstract Background Codelists play a crucial role in ensuring accurate and standardized communication within healthcare. However, preparation of high-quality codelists is rigorous time-consuming process. The literature focuses on transparency clinical overlooks the utility automation. Methods (Automated Framework Design Use-case: DynAIRx) Here we present Codelist Generation that can automate generation with minimal input from experts. We demonstrate process using specific project, DynAIRx,...
Structured Medication Reviews (SMRs) are intended to help deliver the NHS Long Term Plan for medicines optimisation in people living with multiple long-term conditions and polypharmacy. It is challenging gather information needed these reviews due poor integration of health records across providers there little guidance on how identify those patients most urgently requiring review.
Background: Long-term use of antipsychotics confers increased risk cardiometabolic disease. Ongoing need should be reviewed regularly by psychiatrists. Aim: To explore trends in antipsychotic management general practice, and proportions patients prescribed receiving psychiatrist review. Design Setting: A serial cross-sectional study using linked practice hospital data Wales (2011-2020). Method: Participants were adults (≥18 years) registered with practices Wales. Outcome measures prevalence...

Cardiovascular risk was evaluated in patients admitted to rural inpatient psychiatric services over a one-year period sparsely populated region of the United Kingdom. Care records were analysed for factor recording, and cardiovascular estimated using QRISK3 calculator, which estimates 10-year myocardial infarction or stroke. Of eligible patients, recording as part routine care completed 86% possible inputs, enabling QIRSK3 estimation all patients. this group significantly raised relative an...

Atypical antipsychotics are effective treatments for patients with psychotic disorders, but prolonged use can increase the risk of long‐term adverse effects such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidaemia and cardiovascular disease. This article provides guidance to help GPs manage on these medications, discusses how service reconfiguration is urgently needed improve care who currently falling through gap between primary secondary review.
