Ecological risk assessment of metals in sediments and selective plants of Uchalli Wetland Complex (UWC)-a Ramsar site.

Wetlands act as kidneys of land and facilitate remediation of metals and other harmful pollutants through uptake by aquatic macrophytes. The aim of the present study was to investigate metal concentrations in sediments and plants, sources of metal origin, and contamination level in Uchalli Wetland Complex. Sediment samples were collected from 15 randomly selected sites.

Spatio-temporal variations in physico-chemical parameters and potentially harmful elements (PHEs) of Uchalli Wetlands Complex (Ramsar site), Pakistan.

Uchalli Wetlands Complex (UWC) is located in District Khushab, Pakistan, which comprised of three lakes named Khabeki, Uchalli, and Jahlar. The UWC Pakistan is one of the Ramsar sites of international importance. However, the information regarding water quality parameters and concentration of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) is relatively short.

A UK clinical audit addressing the quality of prescribing of sodium valproate for bipolar disorder in women of childbearing age.

Objectives: To review prescribing practice concerning valproate, an established human teratogen, for the management of bipolar disorder in women of childbearing age.

Design: The Prescribing Observatory for Mental Health conducted a baseline clinical audit in the UK, as part of a quality improvement programme.

Participants: Six hundred and forty-eight clinical teams from 55 mental health Trusts submitted retrospective treatment data relating to patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Quality of prescribing of antipsychotic medication for people with intellectual disability under the care of UK mental health services: a cross-sectional audit of clinical practice.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and quality of antipsychotic prescribing for people with intellectual disability (ID).

Design: A clinical audit of prescribing practice in the context of a quality improvement programme. Practice standards for audit were derived from relevant, evidence-based guidelines, including NICE.

The use of psychotropic medication in patients with emotionally unstable personality disorder under the care of UK mental health services.

Background: Guideline recommendations for the pharmacologic treatment of personality disorder lack consensus, particularly for emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD), and there is limited information on current prescribing practice in the United Kingdom.

Objective: To characterize the nature and quality of current prescribing practice for personality disorder across the United Kingdom, as part of a quality improvement program.

Method: A cross-sectional survey of self-selected psychiatric services providing care for adults with personality disorder (ICD-10 criteria) was conducted.

Medicines Reconciliation on Admission to Inpatient Psychiatric Care: Findings from a UK Quality Improvement Programme.

Objective: Medication errors are a common cause of avoidable morbidity, and transfer between clinical settings is a known risk factor for such errors. Medicines reconciliation means there is no unintended discrepancy between the medication prescribed for a patient prior to admission and on admission. Our aim was to improve the quality of practice supporting medicines reconciliation at the point of admission to a psychiatric ward.
