Lead-208 is the heaviest known doubly magic nucleus and its structure therefore of special interest. Despite this magicity, which acts to provide a strong restorative force toward sphericity, it exhibit both octupole correlations some strongest quadrupole collectivity observed in systems. In Letter, we employ state-of-the-art experimental equipment conclusively demonstrate, through four Coulomb-excitation measurements, presence large, negative, spectroscopic moment for vibrational <a:math...
General practice has rapidly computerised over the past ten years, thereby changing nature of general rooms. Most consulting rooms were designed and created in an era without computer hardware, establishing a pattern work around maximising doctor-patient relationship. practitioners (GPs) patients have had to integrate into this environment.Twenty GPs allowed access their consultations as part larger study. The results are based on analysis still shots Analysis used dramaturgical methodology;...

(2011) European Journal of Cancer Care21, 259–265 Management cases that might benefit from radiotherapy: a standardised patient study in primary care The aim this was to assess general practitioner (GP) consultations with patients presenting cancer-related problems radiotherapy. Standardised scenarios were constructed indications for radiotherapy or side effects Six GPs consulted six patients. All video recorded....
Extraneous distractions may influence the flow of general practice consultations. This study piloted a methodology to examine impact interrupting practitioners (GPs) while consulting actor-patients. Six GPs were video recorded six actor-patients each presenting different clinical scenario in simulated surgery. Five cases presented red flag cancer symptoms. Half consultations interrupted. Two independent assessors, blinded occurrence interruptions, assessed consultation performance using...
Communication is essential for triage, but intervention trials to improve it are scarce. Referral Writer (RW), a referral letter software program, enables documentation of clinical data and extracts relevant patient details from software.To evaluate whether specialists more confident about scheduling appointments when they receive information in letters.Single-blind, parallel-groups, controlled design with 1:1 randomisation. Australian GPs watched video vignettes virtually.GPs wrote letters...
Objectives Determine how general practitioners (GPs) manage patients with cancer symptoms. Design GPs reviewed 24 video-vignettes and case notes on symptoms indicated whether they would refer the patient and/or prescribe medication, undertake further investigation. According to available guidelines, all cases warranted a referral specialist or investigations. Setting Australian primary care sector. Participants 102 practising participated in this study, including trainees. Interventions The...
The deployment of decision support aids, electronic referral tools or other novel processes to improve diagnostic therapeutic performance may also disrupt the flow consultation in general practice. Therefore 'innovations' interventions that result changes structure need be tested controlled conditions if they are not harm patient care We describe a method for conducting 'Phase 1' studies such illustrated by from one four using actor-patient consultations. recording consultations is...
Objective To determine how the timing and length of hospital discharge letters impact on number ongoing patient problems identified by general practitioners (GPs). Trial design GPs were randomised into four groups. Each viewed a video monologue an actor-patient as he might present to his GP following admission with 10 problems. provided medical record well long or short letter, which was available when 1 week later. indicated if they would prescribe, refer order tests for patient's Methods...
The design of this study is a video-recorded simulated consultation. Its aim to evaluate the effect changing seating arrangements and stethoscope visibility on patient enablement non-verbal behaviour. Twelve consultations with six actor-patients ‘real’ doctor were video recorded. Either or actor-patient, blind hypothesis sat in large executive office chair during consult. entered room afresh for each Consultation quality outcomes independently evaluated three measures: Patient Enablement...
We have performed a detailed γ-ray spectroscopy study of the nucleus, 49Mn, using GRETINA tracking array and FMA recoil separator. With this powerful new setup, low-spin excited states, which are most relevant for astrophysical processes, been identified first time, including four proton-unbound levels, corresponding to key resonances in 48Cr(p,γ)49Mn reaction. Of these two were found dominate reaction temperatures, T = 0.2 − 1.4 GK, uncertainties rate reduced by more than 3 orders...

Chartered physiotherapists are core members team (PCT) frequently manage patients with pain. <h3>Objectives</h3> To establish current management strategies employed services available for CP in Republic Ireland (ROI) <h3>Methods</h3> A...
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted face-to-face delivery of general practitioner supervisor training in an unprecedented way. Simultaneously, the need for continuing professional development (CPD) amplified. rapid pivot to virtual and blended learning solutions required great organisational agility, a toolbox solutions.Against backdrop restrictions on learning, this article shares strategies employed achieve CPD.There was much trial error, as well successes opportunities, organisations grappled...
