Informal carer involvement in the transition of medicines-related care for patients moving from hospital to home: a realist review protocol.

Introduction: Transition of care for a patient between hospital and home can cause disruption to normal routines, increasing the risk of medicines-related harm. The transition from hospital to home is more complex when a patient does not self-manage their medicines but relies on an informal or unpaid carer (eg, spouse, family member or friend) to provide support. Given the day-to-day medicines-related support provided by informal carers, there is a need to understand how informal carers manage the transition of care from hospital to home; what aspects of hospital discharge act as barriers and facilitators to their involvement and when, how and why these impact patients.

The Association Between COVID-fear with Psychological Distress and Substance Use: the Moderating Effect of Treatment Engagement.

The purpose of this brief report was to examine the association between COVID-fear with psychiatric symptoms severity and substance use risk in an outpatient population with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders and whether these associations were moderated by treatment engagement, especially after providers had shifted from an in-person care model to a telehealth format. A total of 136 patients receiving outpatient treatment for comorbid substance use and mental health disorders completed self-report questionnaires on their psychiatric symptoms, substance use, and treatment engagement (i.e.

Rodents consuming the same toxic diet harbor a unique functional core microbiome.

Gut microbiota are intrinsic to an herbivorous lifestyle, but very little is known about how plant secondary compounds (PSCs), which are often toxic, influence these symbiotic partners. Here we interrogated the possibility of unique functional core microbiomes in populations of two species of woodrat (Neotoma lepida and bryanti) that have independently converged to feed on the same toxic diet (creosote bush; Larrea tridentata) and compared them to populations that do not feed on creosote bush. Leveraging this natural experiment, we collected samples across a large geographic region in the U.
