AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Patients with long-term conditions consistently report a lack of information around services and support available to them. This unmet need for information is significant among people with dementia and family carers. A quality improvement intervention is being carried out to tackle this issue as part of a co-creation initiative in the North East of England (UK). The intervention consists of the dissemination (via the local Community Mental Health Services for Older People) of a leaflet about services available to people with dementia and their family carers in the study site. This protocol is reported in accordance with the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies.
Methods And Analysis: This effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 study aims at understanding (1) the unfolding and outcomes of the implementation strategy, (2) the outcomes of the intervention (for people with dementia and family carers, staff implementing the intervention and local service providers) and (3) the contribution of co-creation to the design and implementation of the intervention and its outcomes. The prospective theory of change of the intervention articulated by local stakeholders is used as a reference framework against which to assess the implementation and outcomes of the intervention. Evaluation data will be collected through in-depth interviews with people with dementia and family carers receiving the intervention, staff implementing the intervention and managers from local service providers. Referral data from local service providers will be collected to triangulate the interview data. A focus group with key stakeholders will support the sense-making of findings. The realist configuration of mechanism-context-outcome, operationalised using an information behaviour model, will inform data analysis and interpretation.
Ethics And Dissemination: Ethical and research governance approvals have been obtained from the West Midlands-South Birmingham Research Ethics Committee. The results of the study will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated through conferences.

Background: Nicastrin, a subunit of the γ-secretase complex, is encoded by the NCSTN gene and regulates notch signaling, it is involved in the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), Alzheimer disease (AD), and liver cancer. However, the animal models for studying HS are relatively scarce.
Methods: CRISPR/Cas-mediated genetic engineering was used to generate targeted knockout offspring mice (C57BL/6J).

Background: As Alzheimer disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) progress, individuals increasingly require assistance from unpaid, informal caregivers to support them in activities of daily living. These caregivers may experience high levels of financial, mental, and physical strain associated with providing care. CareVirtue is a web-based tool created to connect and support multiple individuals across a care network to coordinate care activities and share important information, thereby reducing care burden.
