Community-based physical and social activity for older adults with mild frailty: a rapid qualitative study of a collaborative intervention pilot.

Background: Intervening to modify frailty trajectories may be critical to maintain health and independence in later life. The Active Ageing Programme (AAP) is a 16-week community-based intervention for older people with mild frailty that combines physical activity and social interaction. The programme aims to positively impact resilience and wellbeing, changing the physical, mental and social factors that impact on frailty trajectories.

Intersecting social relations of care: a protocol for an ethnographic and interview study with South Asian people ageing in place with dementia.

Introduction: People living at home with dementia are often cared for by family members, especially those from minority ethnic groups. Many people living with dementia from minority ethnic communities face barriers to accessing formal care. However, there is a paucity of dementia research, which foregrounds diversity within minority ethnic populations.

Intervention design for artificial intelligence-enabled macular service implementation: a primary qualitative study.

Background: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is one of the largest single-disease contributors to hospital outpatient appointments. Challenges in finding the clinical capacity to meet this demand can lead to sight-threatening delays in the macular services that provide treatment. Clinical artificial intelligence (AI) technologies pose one opportunity to rebalance demand and capacity in macular services.

Phage Hunting in the High School Classroom: Phage Isolation and Characterization.

National science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education emphasizes science practices, such as hands-on learning. We describe a week-long activity where students participate in real-world scientific discovery, including "hunting" for bacteriophage in a variety of environmental samples. First, the students collect samples, then look for evidence of phage on "bait" bacteria, and finally amplify/purify the phages for further study.
