Healthcare professionals' understanding of children's rights: a systematic review of the empirical evidence-base.

Background: The concept of children's rights emerged during the 1980s and emphasised the role of children as active participants in matters which concern them.

Aim: This review aims to identify and synthesise the empirical evidence base on healthcare professionals' (HCPs) understanding of children's rights.

Methods: Five electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and the Web of Science) were systematically searched in May 2023.

Inhibition of Mitochondrial Fission Protein Drp1 Ameliorates Myopathy in the D2-mdx Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Although current treatments for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) have proven to be effective in delaying myopathy, there remains a strong need to identify novel targets to develop additional therapies. Mitochondrial dysfunction is an early pathological feature of DMD. A fine balance of mitochondrial dynamics (fission and fusion) is crucial to maintain mitochondrial function and skeletal muscle health.

Patient activation and support needs in patients after ICU discharge: A UK survey of critical illness survivors.

Background: Understanding the degree to which patients are actively involved, confident and capable of engaging with self-management and rehabilitation could be an initial step in guiding individualised supportive strategies for people after critical illness.

Aims: To assess the levels of active involvement with self management among ICU survivors using the Patient Activation Measure (PAM), explore associations between patient characteristics and PAM results, and investigate its relationship with patients' support needs at key transition points during the recovery process.

Methods: Eligible participants received both the PAM and Support Needs After Critical care (SNAC) questionnaires by post.

Frame Running as a community-based exercise option for young people with moderate-to-severe walking impairments: a feasibility study.

Frame Running is an adapted community-based exercise option for people with moderate-to-severe walking impairments. This mixed-methods study aimed to examine the feasibility of 1) community-based Frame Running by young people with moderate-to-severe walking impairments and 2) conducting future studies on the impact of Frame Running on functional mobility and cardiometabolic disease risk factors. Weekly training sessions and data collection occurred in two sites.
