Published: May 2005

This paper proposes a model to analyse the 'needs' of any given CAMHS tier 2/3 service catchment area and establish the service capacity/workforce required to deliver 'evidence based practice' that is in keeping with good clinical governance. The key point is that in order to provide 'evidence based' practice and keep within good guidance, we need 'Evidence Based Service Development'. This includes appropriate corporate governance linked to evidence based data to ensure effective commissioning of services based on the evidence of 'what works for whom'.

Epidemiologic studies of ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O) often use outdoor concentrations from central-site monitors or air quality model estimates as exposure surrogates, which can result in exposure errors. We previously developed an exposure model called TracMyAir, which is an iPhone application that determines seven tiers of individual-level exposure metrics for ambient PM and O using outdoor concentrations, home building characteristics, weather, time-activities. The exposure metrics with increasing information needs and complexity include: outdoor concentration (C, Tier 1), building infiltration factor (F, Tier 2), indoor concentration (C, Tier 3), time spent in microenvironments (ME) (T, Tier 4), personal exposure factor (F, Tier 5), exposure (E, Tier 6), and inhaled dose (D, Tier 7).

Introduction: We studied the relationship between heart transplant centers with and without liver transplant programs regarding volume, waitlist duration, waitlist survival, and 1-y posttransplant survival.

Methods: Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients data were acquired in July 2023 and represented transplant centers with adult organ transplant volumes in the United States over the past year. This system involved a five-tier ranking system from one to five, where tier one programs had the lowest rating and tier five programs had the highest rating.

Expertise Centre of Genetics, Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, Utrecht, Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is a chronic neurological disorder affecting Labradoodles, with a specific focus on characterization including age of onset, seizure frequency, and impact on quality of life for both dog and owner.
  • An online survey involving Labradoodle owners revealed that 33 out of 40 dogs either had IE or were suspected of having it, with an average age of onset at 2.3 years and an average seizure frequency of 5.4 seizures per year; stress was the most common trigger for seizures.
  • Despite some dogs experiencing severe forms of epilepsy, such as cluster seizures and status epilepticus, a majority managed well with minimal treatment, reflecting high quality of life scores for both the dogs

Article Synopsis
  • - Occupational asthma (OA) is categorized into allergic asthma and irritant-induced asthma, with the latter having three phenotypic subtypes.
  • - This study examined exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from individuals with OA and healthy healthcare workers to identify potential biomarkers that differentiate OA from healthy controls and its subtypes.
  • - 536 VOCs were found, with specific compounds like 1-hexadecanol and xylene showing significant levels and potential links to metabolic changes related to asthma, suggesting these VOCs could improve asthma diagnosis and indicate occupational exposure.
