Using electronic medical records to determine prevalence and treatment of mental disorders in primary care: a database study.

Objectives: With prevention and treatment of mental disorders a challenge for primary care and increasing capability of electronic medical records (EMRs) to facilitate research in practice, we aim to determine the prevalence and treatment of mental disorders by using routinely collected clinical data contained in EMRs.

Methods: We reviewed EMRs of patients randomly sampled from seven general practices, by piloting a study instrument and extracting data on mental disorders and their treatment.

Results: Data were collected on 690 patients (age range 18-95, 52% male, 52% GMS-eligible).

How social context impacts on the development, identification and treatment of mental and substance use disorders among young people - a qualitative study of health care workers.

Unlabelled: Introduction Social context has a major influence on the detection and treatment of youth mental and substance use disorders in socioeconomically disadvantaged urban areas, particularly where gang culture, community violence, normalisation of drug use and repetitive maladaptive family structures prevail. This paper aims to examine how social context influences the development, identification and treatment of youth mental and substance use disorders in socioeconomically disadvantaged urban areas from the perspectives of health care workers.

Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with health care workers (n=37) from clinical settings including: primary care, secondary care and community agencies and analysed thematically using Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory to guide analysis.

Ageing diminishes the modulation of human brain responses to visual food cues by meal ingestion.

Background/objectives: Rates of obesity are greatest in middle age. Obesity is associated with altered activity of brain networks sensing food-related stimuli and internal signals of energy balance, which modulate eating behaviour. The impact of healthy mid-life ageing on these processes has not been characterised.

'Soft and fluffy': medical students' attitudes towards psychology in medical education.

Psychology is viewed by medical students in a negative light. In order to understand this phenomenon, we interviewed 19 medical students about their experiences of psychology in medical education. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.

Freeze-dried somatic cells direct embryonic development after nuclear transfer.

The natural capacity of simple organisms to survive in a dehydrated state has long been exploited by man, with lyophylization the method of choice for the long term storage of bacterial and yeast cells. More recently, attempts have been made to apply this procedure to the long term storage of blood cells. However, despite significant progress, practical application in a clinical setting is still some way off.

Oocyte recovery, embryo development and ovarian function after cryopreservation and transplantation of whole sheep ovary.

Background: Successful cryopreservation of a whole ovary may provide a solution for women with premature ovarian failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the function of cryopreserved whole sheep ovaries both in vitro and in vivo.

Methods: Transplantation of frozen-thawed intact ovaries was performed on eight sheep by artery and vein anastomosis to the contralateral ovarian artery and vein.
