COVID-19: Nutrition and functional outcomes for critical care survivors in a 400- bedded district general hospital in North London.

Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in huge numbers of critically ill patients. This study describes the inpatient recovery and rehabilitation needs of patients admitted with COVID-19 to the critical care unit of a 400 bedded general hospital in London, United Kingdom. The rehabilitation needs of our sample were considerable.

The Critical Role of βPdZn Alloy in Pd/ZnO Catalysts for the Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide to Methanol.

The rise in atmospheric CO concentration and the concomitant rise in global surface temperature have prompted massive research effort in designing catalytic routes to utilize CO as a feedstock. Prime among these is the hydrogenation of CO to make methanol, which is a key commodity chemical intermediate, a hydrogen storage molecule, and a possible future fuel for transport sectors that cannot be electrified. Pd/ZnO has been identified as an effective candidate as a catalyst for this reaction, yet there has been no attempt to gain a fundamental understanding of how this catalyst works and more importantly to establish specific design criteria for CO hydrogenation catalysts.

Structure prediction of crystals, surfaces and nanoparticles.

We review the current techniques used in the prediction of crystal structures and their surfaces and of the structures of nanoparticles. The main classes of search algorithm and energy function are summarized, and we discuss the growing role of methods based on machine learning. We illustrate the current status of the field with examples taken from metallic, inorganic and organic systems.

Empathy in Action in Healthcare (EACH): A mixed methods study of nurses' and therapists' empathy.

Background: Despite a plethora of research on empathy and its associated constructs, there is little evidence exploring clinicians' perceptions of their empathy and its impact on service level outcomes.

Methods: The aim of this single centre mixed methods study was to investigate nurses' and therapists' empathy levels and explore their views regarding its impact on clinical decision making at a national specialist orthopaedic centre. Data were collected from 126 respondents using an online validated empathy scale (Jefferson scale) supplemented by interviews with a convenience sample of 20 respondents.

Audit of acute Charcot's disease in the UK: the CDUK study.

Aims/hypothesis: We studied factors associated with the development and resolution of acute Charcot foot using a web-based observational study.

Methods: Clinicians managing cases of acute Charcot foot in the UK and Ireland between June 2005 and February 2007 were invited to register anonymised details on a secure website.

Results: A total of 288 cases (age 57.
