Review of community-based interventions for people with serious mental illness, focusing on learning instrumental activities of daily living and enhancing wellbeing.

This review synthesises evidence on community-based interventions designed to support individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) in learning instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Given the increasing prevalence of SMI affecting over 500 million people worldwide, and associated functional impairments, effective interventions are critically needed. This review of thirty studies represented a range of global contexts and intervention types, which were categorised into simple IADLs (e.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Portosystemic Pressure Gradient Correlates with Clinical Parameters and Liver Histology.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided portosystemic pressure gradient measurement (EUS-PPG) is a novel technique to evaluate for portal hypertension (PH), a diagnosis that can prognosticate and guide therapy for patients. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of EUS-PPG and correlation with clinical parameters and liver histology.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study of patients undergoing EUS-PPG from January 2020 to December 2022 for suspected liver disease or PH.

Adherence and Retention in Early or Late Time-Restricted Eating: A Narrative Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a form of intermittent fasting that involves reducing the time-period in which food is typically consumed daily. While TRE is known to induce health benefits, particularly for adults with obesity, there is currently debate about whether the time of day in which food is consumed also contributes to the health benefits of TRE. Early TRE (eTRE) and late TRE (lTRE) are subtypes of TRE that involve consuming food and caloric beverages either in the early or later part of the day.

The effects of time-restricted eating on sleep in adults: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Time-restricted eating (TRE), a dietary pattern reducing the duration of daily food consumption, has recently gained popularity. Existing studies show the potential benefits of TRE for cardiometabolic health. Uncertainty remains about whether these benefits are solely from altered meal timing or influences on other health behaviors, including sleep.
