Admission to acute medical wards for mental health concerns among children and young people in England from 2012 to 2022: a cohort study.

Background: There are challenges in providing high quality care for children and young people who are admitted to acute medical wards for mental health concerns. Although there is concern that these admissions are increasing, national data describing these patterns are scarce. We aimed to describe trends in these admissions in England over a 10-year period, and to identify factors associated with repeat admission and length of stay.

Nasogastric tube feeding under physical restraint: understanding the effects on parents and how to support them.

Background: Nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding under physical restraint is a clinical intervention that may be required when a child or young person is medically unstable secondary to restrictive eating.

Aim: To explore the experiences of parents when their child receives NGT feeding under physical restraint and understand the effects of this on them.

Method: This is a secondary analysis of data from two previous studies on NGT feeding under physical restraint - one in mental health wards and one in children's wards - in which semi-structured interviews had been conducted with patients, staff and parents.

Commentary: Why do many cell biology papers contain fundamental bioenergetic errors?

To professional bioenergeticists, the thermodynamic and kinetic constraints on mitochondrial function are self-evident. It is therefore profoundly concerning that high-profile cell biology papers continue to appear containing fundamental bioenergetic errors that appear to have evaded the scrutiny of the principal investigator, co-authors, editors and, apparently, at least some of the referees. The problem is not new, and seems to stem from a perception that bioenergetics is a 'difficult' subject, both at undergraduate level, if it is taught in any depth, and in research, where cell biologists are faced with biophysical concepts such as protonmotive force, ion flux, redox potential and Gibbs free energy.

Experiences of eating disorder services for people caring for a loved one with an eating disorder in the UK: national survey.

Background: Research suggests that those caring for a loved one with an eating disorder in the UK report unmet needs and highlight areas for improvement. More research is needed to understand these experiences on a wider, national scale.

Aims: To disseminate a national survey for adults who had experience caring for a loved one with an eating disorder in the UK, informed by the findings of a smaller scale, qualitative study with parents, siblings and partners in the UK.

'We are not trained to do clinical work': security staff providing physical restraint for NGT feeding in English paediatric wards-a qualitative multi-informant study.

Objective: To gain insights into the experience, and impact, of using security staff to facilitate physical restraints for nasogastric tube feeding.

Design: A cross-sectional design using 39 individual interviews, three online focus groups and three written submissions involving young people with lived experience (PWLE), parents/carers, paediatric staff and security staff involved in nasogastric feeding under restraint in paediatric settings in England. Qualitative semistructured interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed.
