Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the mental health impacts on young people in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on loneliness, anxiety, and depression over a one-year period (August 2020-August 2021).
- - Findings show that anxiety levels were highest in summer and fall 2020, while depression peaked in winter 2020-2021, with loneliness increasing significantly by spring and summer 2021, affecting older adolescents, females, and those with pre-existing issues the most.
- - The research concluded that the pandemic severely impacted young people's mental health and social interactions, and emphasized the need for improved mental health training for teachers and better integration of mental health services in schools.
Aims/hypothesis: Silver dressings are used for their antimicrobial properties but there is limited evidence of clinical benefit when managing diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs). We aimed to assess whether silver dressings in acute DFUs increased the proportion of ulcers healed compared with non-silver dressings.
Methods: In this open-labelled, randomised controlled trial, consecutive individuals who presented to a tertiary multidisciplinary diabetic foot service with a DFU without osteomyelitis or tendon on view of <6 weeks' duration were randomised 1:1 via a computer-generated randomisation process to receive Acticoat (Smith & Nephew, England) dressing (silver group) or dressing without silver (control group) in addition to standard care.
Background: During the decades representing working-age adulthood, most people will experience one or several significant life events or transitions. These may present a challenge to mental health.

The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise evidence currently available from systematic reviews on the impact of COVID-19 and other coronavirus outbreaks on mental health for groups of the population thought to be at increased risk of detrimental mental health impacts.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a systematic review of reviews on adults and children residing in a country affected by a coronavirus outbreak and belonging to a group considered to be at risk of experiencing mental health inequalities.
