Objectives: This study explores the perspectives of Irish Travellers, an ethnic minority group in Ireland, on the service improvements needed to implement culturally appropriate recovery approaches in mental health services.
Methods: A community-based participatory research approach was employed. Seventeen Traveller peer researchers conducted thirteen qualitative participatory workshops and five individual interviews across Ireland.
Ruminant livestock contribute significantly to global methane production and mitigation of which is of utmost importance. Feed additives represent a cost-effective means of achieving this. A potential target for such additives is rumen Oxidative Reduction Potential (ORP), a parameter which influences CH production rates, with methanogenesis occurring optimally at ORPs below -300 mV.

- Vitamin B12 is essential for blood cell formation and nerve insulation, and its deficiency can lead to neurological issues despite normal blood levels, as seen in a patient with symptoms like tremor and cognitive decline.
- Researchers discovered an autoantibody against the transcobalamin receptor (CD320) that hinders vitamin B12 uptake in the brain, resulting in low levels found in cerebrospinal fluid even when blood levels appear normal.
- The study suggests this autoimmune condition can be treated with immunosuppressive therapy and high-dose vitamin B12, and highlights the importance of recognizing how B12 transport differs in various tissues, which could improve diagnosis and treatment strategies for similar neurological disorders.
Background: Telehealth delivery of preventive health services may improve access to care; however, its effectiveness and adverse effects are unknown. We conducted a comparative effectiveness review on the effectiveness and harms of telehealth interventions for women's reproductive health and intimate partner violence (IPV) services.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Scopus for English-language studies (July 2016 to May 2022) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies of telehealth strategies for women's reproductive health and IPV versus usual care.
Introduction: Telehealth may address healthcare disparities for rural populations. This systematic review assesses the use, effectiveness, and implementation of telehealth-supported provider-to-provider collaboration to improve rural healthcare.
Methods: We searched Ovid MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL from 1 January 2010 to 12 October 2021 for trials and observational studies of rural provider-to-provider telehealth.
