January 2025

Centre for Appearance Research, University of West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

In 2012, the James Lind Alliance (JLA) worked with individuals with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), their families and clinicians to identify priority areas for future research. This article reviews progress conducted in the United Kingdom in the 3 JLA priorities most closely related to Clinical Psychology. It then builds upon the original priorities to identify 4 future directions, based on contemporary literature and in-depth discussions between clinical and research experts.

Previous health impact assessments of temperature-related mortality in Europe indicated that the mortality burden attributable to cold is much larger than for heat. Questions remain as to whether climate change can result in a net decrease in temperature-related mortality. In this study, we estimated how climate change could affect future heat-related and cold-related mortality in 854 European urban areas, under several climate, demographic and adaptation scenarios.

Objectives: Language is a critical aspect of human cognition and function, and its preservation is a priority for neurosurgical interventions in the left frontal operculum. However, identification of language areas can be inconsistent, even with electrical mapping. The use of multimodal structural and functional neuroimaging in conjunction with intraoperative neuromonitoring may augment cortical language area identification to guide the resection of left frontal opercular lesions.

Large herbivores are in decline in much of the world, including sub-Saharan Africa, and true apex carnivores like the lion () decline in parallel with their prey. As a consequence, competitively subordinate carnivores like the African wild dog () are simultaneously experiencing a costly reduction in resources and a beneficial reduction in dominant competitors. The net effect is not intuitively obvious, but wild dogs' density, survival, and reproduction are all low in areas that are strongly affected by prey depletion.
