The effectiveness of trauma-informed youth justice: a discussion and review.

Youth justice services around the world are under increasing pressure to find new and more effective ways of working with young people. One way forward is to implement a more compassionate approach to service delivery that embraces the idea of 'trauma-informed practice'. And yet, substantial variation has been observed in how a trauma-informed approach has been defined and understood by practitioners, with idiosyncratic implementation evident across different systems and only limited evidence that this results in reductions in subsequent re-offending.

Obstetric and perioperative management of patients with factor XI deficiency: a retrospective observational study.

Factor XI (FXI) deficiency is an autosomal inherited, milder bleeding disorder that may predispose to a potential risk of life-threatening bleeding during childbirth or surgery. Unfortunately, data regarding obstetric and perioperative management of this condition are scarce, with limited cases reviewed in the last decade. Therefore, the present study aimed to expand this database and identify factors associated with increased bleeding risk.

Ankle-brachial index use in peripheral vascular interventions for claudication.

Objective: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) has been recommended as the first-line noninvasive test to establish a diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease in patients with claudication (grade 1, level A evidence). The ABI can also be used to monitor disease progression and assess the benefits of treatment after peripheral vascular intervention (PVI). The Upper Midwest Region of the Vascular Quality Initiative has a unique balance of participation from vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and cardiologists performing PVI.

Access to chlamydia testing in remote and rural Scotland.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess access to sexual health care in remote and rural settings using testing as a focus by measuring the extent of Chlamydia testing and positivity across the Scottish Highlands in relation to the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation Quintile (SIMD) and Urban Rural 8-fold index (UR8).

Methods: Tests processed through Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, the main testing laboratory for microbiology tests in North and West and South and Mid Highlands, were studied. Where people are tested in relation to where they live was assessed, as well as the type of test they opt for.

Preliminary outcomes of implementing cognitive processing therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder across a national veterans' treatment service.

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant problem for military veterans. There is an international imperative to improve access to effective treatments, but more research is needed to ascertain the extent to which treatments found to be efficacious in research settings translate to successful national implementation efforts.

Method: This study reports the clinical outcomes for the first 100 clients treated following the implementation of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) across a national community-based veterans' mental health service that commenced in May 2012.

Stability of extemporaneously prepared oxandrolone oral suspensions.

Purpose: The stability of extemporaneously prepared oxandrolone oral suspensions was studied.

Methods: Oxandrolone oral suspension (1 mg/mL) was prepared using oxandrolone tablets, Ora-Plus, and either Ora-Sweet or Ora-Sweet SF. Three identical samples of each formulation were prepared and stored in 2-oz amber plastic bottles with child-resistant caps at room temperature (23-25 °C).

Public health framing of news regarding childhood obesity in the United States.

Five U.S. newspapers were searched for stories regarding childhood obesity.

Local and regional factors influence the structure of treehole metacommunities.

Background: Abiotic and biotic factors in a local habitat may strongly impact the community residing within, but spatially structured metacommunities are also influenced by regional factors such as immigration and colonization. We used three years of monthly treehole census data to evaluate the relative influence of local and regional factors on our study system.

Results: Every species responded to at least one of three local environmental factors measured: water volume, leaf litter mass, and presence of a top predator.
