Excellence in forensic psychiatry services: international survey of qualities and correlates.

Background: Excellence is that quality that drives continuously improving outcomes for patients. Excellence must be measurable. We set out to measure excellence in forensic mental health services according to four levels of organisation and complexity (basic, standard, progressive and excellent) across seven domains: values and rights; clinical organisation; consistency; timescale; specialisation; routine outcome measures; research and development.

Intrathoracic Glenohumeral Dislocation without Fracture of the Humerus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Case: A fifty-three-year-old man presented with an intrathoracic glenohumeral dislocation (ITGHD) and associated hemothorax, rib fracture, massive rotator cuff tear, and axillary nerve palsy following an ice hockey injury. Treatment consisted of closed reduction and staged open rotator cuff repair. Despite a substantial injury, the patient recovered nearly normal use of the arm two years postoperatively.

Influence of Familiarization and Competitive Level on the Reliability of Countermovement Vertical Jump Kinetic and Kinematic Variables.

Understanding typical variation of vertical jump (VJ) performance and confounding sources of its typical variability (i.e., familiarization and competitive level) is pertinent in the routine monitoring of athletes.

Meniscal allograft with or without osteotomy: a 15-year follow-up study.

Purpose: To assess survivorship of meniscal allografts and the benefit of concomitant osteotomy.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all patients who had meniscal allograft surgery ± osteotomy. Fresh frozen meniscal allograft was sutured in place using an onlay technique.

Gene expression profiling of the cephalothorax and eyestalk in Penaeus monodon during ovarian maturation.

In crustaceans, a range of physiological processes involved in ovarian maturation occurs in organs of the cephalothorax including the hepatopancrease, mandibular and Y-organ. Additionally, reproduction is regulated by neuropeptide hormones and other proteins released from secretory sites within the eyestalk. Reproductive dysfunction in captive-reared prawns, Penaeus monodon, is believed to be due to deficiencies in these factors.

Pedometer step count and BMI of Irish primary school children aged 6-9 years.

Objective: (1) To assess step count and Body Mass Index in Irish children, (2) to examine variation in (i) weekday and weekend activity, (ii) during-school and after-school activity, and (3) to evaluate the utility of pedometer based PA recommendations for health in predicting Body Mass Index.

Methods: Three hundred and one Irish primary school children aged 6-9 years wore a sealed pedometer for seven consecutive days in 2008, had their height and weight measured, and completed a short Physical Activity questionnaire.

Results: The majority of children were classed as of normal weight, and met the age and sex specific pedometer recommendations for health.

Mobility in Hurler syndrome.

Hurler syndrome is an autosomal recessive metabolic storage disease. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant increases life expectancy, but the effects on associated musculoskeletal abnormalities remains unclear, and long-term data are limited. We detail the follow-up of 23 patients at a mean of 8.
