Proposed Nutrition Competencies for Medical Students and Physician Trainees: A Consensus Statement.

Importance: In 2022, the US House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution (House of Representatives Resolution 1118 at the 117th Congress [2021-2022]) calling for meaningful nutrition education for medical trainees. This was prompted by increasing health care spending attributed to the growing prevalence of nutrition-related diseases and the substantial federal funding via Medicare that supports graduate medical education. In March 2023, medical education professional organizations agreed to identify nutrition competencies for medical education.

Back to the future? Lessons from the history of integrated child health services in England.

The UK has a long history of attempts to integrate child health services to improve outcomes, an ambition renewed in the recent . It's therefore timely to review the history of integration to inform future initiatives. Key milestones include the Platt report (1959), Court report (1976), (1999), (2004) and report (2015).

Teaching and learning lifestyle medicine during COVID-19: how has living during a pandemic influenced students' understanding and attitudes to self-care and population health? A qualitative analysis.

Background: In 2019 a new Lifestyle Medicine (LM) module was introduced to the undergraduate medical curriculum at Imperial College London. Lifestyle Medicine is an emergent discipline which aims to tackle the increasing burden of non-communicable disease. Previous work has suggested that students value clinical teaching over traditional Public Health topics.

Impact of COVID-19 on primary care contacts with children and young people in England: longitudinal trends study 2015-2020.

Background: The NHS response to COVID-19 altered provision and access to primary care.

Aim: To examine the impact of COVID-19 on GP contacts with children and young people (CYP) in England.

Merger and post-merger integration at Oxford University Hospitals: mixed-methods evaluation and lessons learned.

Purpose: Hospital mergers are common in the United Kingdom and internationally. However, mergers rarely achieve their intended benefits and are often damaging. This study builds on existing literature by presenting a case study evaluating a merger of two hospitals in Oxford, United Kingdom with three distinct characteristics: merger between two university hospitals, merger between a generalist and specialist hospital and merger between two hospitals of differing size.

Nervous System and Intracranial Tumour Incidence by Ethnicity in England, 2001-2007: A Descriptive Epidemiological Study.

Background: There is substantial variation in nervous system and intracranial tumour incidence worldwide. UK incidence data have limited utility because they group these diverse tumours together and do not provide data for individual ethnic groups within Blacks and South Asians. Our objective was to determine the incidence of individual tumour types for seven individual ethnic groups.

Parametrized rectal dose and associations with late toxicity in prostate cancer radiotherapy.

Objective: We investigated possible associations between planned dose-volume parameters and rectal late toxicity in 170 patients having radical prostate cancer radiotherapy.

Methods: For each patient, the rectum was outlined from anorectal junction to sigmoid colon, and rectal dose was parametrized using dose-volume (DVH), dose-surface (DSH) and dose-line (DLH) histograms. Generation of DLHs differed from previous studies in that the rectal dose was parametrized without first unwrapping onto 2-dimensional dose-surface maps.

Quality of life of Nepali patients with ear disease before and after corrective surgery.

Objectives: Hearing impairment is a significant burden in the developing world. However, no suitable quality of life (QoL) measures exist for use in Nepal. We aimed to amend and translate the Glasgow Health Status Inventory (GHSI), assessing QoL at any given time, and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI), assessing change in QoL following intervention, into Nepali and to assess the impact of ear disease and effect of surgery on QoL.

Complete circumferential rectal ulceration and haemorrhage secondary to the use of a faecal management system.

This structured case report is a brief case report describing an episode of complete circumferential rectal ulceration and haemorrhage secondary to the use of a faecal management system. An elderly lady was admitted for elective cardiac surgery. Prior to admission, the patient was taking warfarin in view of her atrial fibrillation.

Lessons from 2012: What the NHS Can Learn from Britain's Olympic Success.

The 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games were widely regarded as an organisational and sporting success for the United Kingdom. Therefore, it is prudent to consider what other large, public endeavours might learn from the Games' success. Team GB worked to develop a positive team culture based around shared values.
