In Ireland, traditionally, most public Adult Mental Health Services (AMHSs) had a small cohort of service users with eating disorders (EDs) in their service. However, over the last 5 years, the National Clinical Programmes have been encouraging Mental Health Services to develop ED programmes in each catchment area. This has culminated in a model of care for EDs for children and adults. It appears that in relation to AMHSs, meaningful inclusion of families/significant other(s) in ED programmes is somewhat inconsistent. This paper will discuss the possible impact of excluding or minimising family/significant other(s)' inclusion. It will also outline a suggested approach of including families/significant other(s) in a meaningful way in an out-patient ED programme.

Background: After lumbar spine surgery, a Core Outcome Set (COS) for acute pain is essential to ensure that the most meaningful outcomes are monitored consistently in the perioperative period. The aim of the present study was to consent on a COS for assessing the efficacy of acute pain management for patients undergoing lumbar spinal surgery.
Method: A modified Delphi procedure was conducted among a national (Dutch) expert panel.

Obesity is a significant global public health concern, and health care providers play a crucial role in addressing it by offering healthy lifestyle counseling and weight management support. Evidence demonstrates that even brief counseling on healthy behaviors can lead to meaningful changes and sustained weight management. However, weight consultations are often underutilized in primary care due to various barriers, including biases against patients with obesity, misconception of physicians with obesity, or concerns about stigmatizing them by initiating discussions about weight.

Background: Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a primary cause of evaporative dry eye disease (DED), which is often exacerbated by cataract surgery due to surgical trauma and inflammation. Thermal pulsation therapy (TPT) aims to enhance meibomian gland function and relieve dry eye symptoms. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of TPT in managing dry eye symptoms associated with cataract surgery.

The comprehensive adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) offers numerous benefits but also introduces risks of privacy leakage, particularly for patients with Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) who need protection from social secondary harm. Despite advancements in privacy protection research, the effectiveness of these strategies in real-world data remains debatable. The objective is to develop effective information extraction and privacy protection strategies to safeguard STI patients in the Chinese healthcare environment and prevent unnecessary privacy leakage during the data-sharing process of EMRs.
