The emoji current mood and experience scale: the development and initial validation of an ultra-brief, literacy independent measure of psychological health.

Background: There is increasing interest in measuring wellbeing and mental health in a range of settings and services outside conventional mental health care settings. However, ensuring that measurement does not intrude on the primary service activity whilst promoting inclusion through minimizing literacy demands, requires ultra-brief and easy to use tools.

Aims: To develop and test a brief emoji-based tool to assess mental health, wellbeing, resilience and community connection.

Therapeutic opportunities for targeting cellular senescence in progressive multiple sclerosis.

Recent studies have implicated cellular senescence as a disease-related process linked to progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Herein, we present an overview of the current pharmacopeia of cellular senescence affecting compounds and evidence for their effects, if known, in murine and cellular models of MS. Consideration is also given to the utility of these compounds for the treatment of progressive MS, with an examination of past and current clinical trials that have tested these agents, often for other purposes, in the MS patient population.

A patient satisfaction survey and educational package to improve the care of people hospitalised with COVID-19: a quality improvement project, Liverpool, UK.

The perspectives and experiences of people hospitalised with COVID-19 have been under-reported during the coronavirus pandemic. We developed and conducted a COVID-19 patient satisfaction survey in a large university-affiliated secondary healthcare centre in Liverpool, UK, during Europe's first coronavirus wave (April-June 2020). The survey found that care was rated highly, including among people of Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.

Using engagement in sustainable construction to improve mental health and social connection in disadvantaged and hard to reach groups: a new green care approach.

The positive impact of the outdoors on physical and mental health is increasingly being evidenced. However, the impact on vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals engaging in group based sustainable building construction has not been examined. To provide the first pragmatic examination of the impact of engaging in a brief (8 days over 8 weeks) outdoor sustainable construction project on the mental health and social connectedness of hard to reach and disadvantaged groups.

Neophyte experiences of football (soccer) match analysis: a multiple case study approach.

Performance analysis is extensively used in sport, but its pedagogical application is little understood. Given its expanding role across football, this study explored the experiences of neophyte performance analysts. Experiences of six analysis interns, across three professional football clubs, were investigated as multiple cases of new match analysis.

Intramedullary fibular and impaction allografting in revision total elbow arthroplasty with endosteal deficiency.

One of the many reasons for failed revision elbow replacement is loss of the normally irregular shape of the endosteal surface leading to reduced ability to provide rotational control of the humeral or ulnar component within the intramedullary canal. The endosteal bone loss of the distal humerus or proximal ulna compromises the rotational stability of the stem in the intramedullary canal. In these cases, impaction cancellous allografting techniques, similar to the ones used in revision total hip arthroplasties, are commonly used to address the osseous deficiency, but these methods are not optimal for providing rotational control of the prosthetic stem.

Published evidence relevant to the diagnosis of impingement syndrome of the shoulder.

Background: Acromioplasty for impingement syndrome of the shoulder is one of the most common orthopaedic surgical procedures. The rate with which this procedure is performed has increased dramatically. This investigation sought high levels of evidence in the published literature related to five hypotheses pertinent to the concept of the impingement syndrome and the rationale supporting acromioplasty in its treatment.

Plating of a periarticular medial clavicle fracture.

This article describes a case of a 23-year-old man who sustained a far medial fracture dislocation of the medial clavicle. We performed an open reduction and internal fixation of the fragment back to the remaining medial fragment using a small locking plate. This fracture can be problematic and usually requires reduction due to the potential vascular or airway compromise.

Discotic liquid crystalline poly(propylene imine) dendrimers based on triphenylene.

The design, synthesis, and mesomorphic properties of a new series of homodendrimers consisting of the commercially available poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers (G = 1-5), PPI-(NH(2))(n)() (n = 4, 8, 16, 32, 64), functionalized with a discotic triphenylene moiety are reported. The liquid crystalline behavior was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing-light optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). All of the homodendrimers showed mesomorphic properties, with the second to fifth generations giving a hexagonal columnar mesophase (Col(h)) and the first generation a rectangular columnar mesophase (Col(r)).
