The rise of liaison psychiatry: challenges and implications for sustainability.

Liaison or general hospital psychiatry is experiencing unprecedented expansion in the UK. A liaison psychiatry team in a typical general hospital may deliver savings of up to £5 million a year. However, liaison psychiatry faces challenges associated with this pace of change, with consequences for its long-term sustainability.

Controlling Material Reactivity Using Architecture.

3D-printing methods are used to generate reactive material architectures. Several geometric parameters are observed to influence the resultant flame propagation velocity, indicating that the architecture can be utilized to control reactivity. Two different architectures, channels and hurdles, are generated, and thin films of thermite are deposited onto the surface.

Ultralow Density, Monolithic WS2, MoS2, and MoS2/Graphene Aerogels.

We describe the synthesis and characterization of monolithic, ultralow density WS2 and MoS2 aerogels, as well as a high surface area MoS2/graphene hybrid aerogel. The monolithic WS2 and MoS2 aerogels are prepared via thermal decomposition of freeze-dried ammonium thio-molybdate (ATM) and ammonium thio-tungstate (ATT) solutions, respectively. The densities of the pure dichalcogenide aerogels represent 0.

Sol-gel preparation of alumina stabilized rare earth areo- and xerogels and their use as oxidation catalysts.

A new sol-gel synthesis route for rare earth (Ce and Pr) alumina hybrid aero- and xerogels is presented which is based on the so-called epoxide addition method. The resulting materials are characterized by TEM, XRD and nitrogen adsorption. The results reveal a different crystallization behavior for the praseodymia/alumina and the ceria/alumina gel.

Management of refractory irritable bowel syndrome and comorbid mental ill-health: challenges, reflections and patient's perspective of life on the body-mind divide.

This complex case illustrates how blurred the divide between body and mind can be. In a patient with refractory irritable bowel symptoms, the emergence of new social problems exacerbate both psychiatric (anxiety and depression) and physical symptoms. Treatment of the physical symptomatology consisted of acute hospital treatments initially and subsequent primary care consultations.
