Clusters of diet, physical activity, screen-time and sleep among adolescents and associations with 3-year change in indicators of adiposity.

Background: Clusters of health behaviours could impact changes in adiposity among adolescents over time. This study examines the clustering of screen time, physical activity, dietary behaviours and sleep, and the associations with 3-year changes in indicators of adiposity.

Methods: Data from the UK's Millennium Cohort Study were utilised when participants were aged 14 and 17 years respectively.

Hospital staff's experiences of unsafe staffing levels and employers' responses to their concerns: a survey.

There is a wealth of evidence that demonstrates a link between inadequate nurse staffing levels and suboptimal patient care. Over the last decade, policies and legislation on safe nurse staffing levels have been developed for specific settings and countries in the UK, all of which emphasise employers' responsibility in responding to staff's concerns about unsafe staffing. However, the effectiveness of mechanisms for monitoring and responding to such concerns is unclear.

Nurse understaffing associated with adverse outcomes for surgical admissions.

Background: Nurses play a crucial role in maintaining the safety of surgical patients. Few nurse staffing studies have looked specifically at surgical patients to examine the impact of exposure to low staffing on patient outcomes.

Methods: A longitudinal patient analysis was conducted in four organizations in England using routine data from 213 910 admissions to all surgical specialties.

Implication of Capillary Morphogenesis Gene 2 (CMG2) in the Disease Progression and Peritoneal Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer.

Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2) mediates cell-matrix interactions to facilitate cell adhesion and migration. CMG2 has been implicated in the disease progression of breast cancer, prostate cancer and gastric cancer. The present study aims to determine the role of CMG2 in the disease progression and peritoneal metastasis of pancreatic cancer.

Nursing Team Composition and Mortality Following Acute Hospital Admission.

Importance: Many studies show the adverse consequences of insufficient nurse staffing in hospitals, but safe and effective staffing is unlikely to be just about staff numbers. There are considerable areas of uncertainty, including whether temporary staff can safely make up shortfalls in permanent staff and whether using experienced staff can mitigate the effect of staff shortages.

Objective: To explore the association of the composition of the nursing team with the risk of patient deaths.
