Objectives: To describe the uptake and outputs of the National Health Service Health Check (NHSHC) programme in England.
Design: Observational study.
Setting: National primary care data extracted directly by NHS Digital from 90% of general practices (GP) in England.
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term occurrence rate of incisional hernias following single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC).
Background: Since the 90 s, SILC has emerged as a less invasive alternative to standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy in selected patients. But concerns over port-incisional hernias have not been addressed.

Objective: This mixed-methods study (qualitative and quantitative) assessed health behavior attitudes and practices as well as social media use among adolescent girls. Additionally, similar practices and behaviors of adults who regularly interact with this population were studied.
