Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus leads to serious health issues, particularly diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), and machine learning might aid in their early detection and treatment.
- A literature review identified 18 studies, revealing that machine learning models can effectively classify healthy skin vs. DFUs, as well as assess DFU progression and healing predictions, with varying degrees of accuracy and sensitivity.
- The findings suggest that machine learning could enhance clinical practices for managing DFUs, and future research should focus on creating standardized tools for diagnosis and monitoring.
The aim of this study was to explore psychiatric nurse's experiences of caring for people with auditory hallucinations in an acute unit. A qualitative study was conducted using thematic analysis. The study involved semi-structured interviews with 18 acute unit nurses all of whom provided interventions to patients with auditory hallucinations.

Background: Fibromyalgia is a complex, non-progressive chronic condition characterised by a bewildering array of symptoms for patients to self-manage. International guidelines recommend patients receive illness-specific information once diagnosed to promote self-management and improve health-related quality of life.
Objective: The introduction of peer support in mental health teams creates opportunities and challenges for both peer and non-peer staff. However, the majority of research on mental health workers' (MHWs) experiences with peer support comes from high-income countries. Using Peer Support In Developing Empowering Mental Health Services (UPSIDES) is an international multicentre study, which aims at scaling up peer support for people with severe mental illness in Europe, Asia and Africa.
