In the inpatient correctional system, the question of a suitable treatment setting for older forensic inpatients (i. e. ≥60 years) arises against the background of demographic change. In this regard, the research literature was examined using four medical databases (PsycInfo, Medline, Embase, Web of Science) for relevant keywords (elderly offender/perpetrator, aged, mental disorder, forensic treatment, forensic psychiatry). Out of 744 pre-selected articles, only 5 studies made it into the final selection. The majority of the sample is composed of men with previous criminal justice experience, who may be mentally and/or physically ill. Placement and capacity problems as well as a lack of age-appropriate infrastructure are reported. Based on the study results, an empirical recommendation regarding a suitable treatment setting cannot be given.

Harnessing Human-Centered Design for Evidence-Based Psychosocial Interventions and Implementation Strategies in Community Settings: Protocol for Redesign to Improve Usability, Engagement, and Appropriateness.

Division of Services and Interventions Research, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD, United States.
Background: Although substantial progress has been made in establishing evidence-based psychosocial clinical interventions and implementation strategies for mental health, translating research into practice-particularly in more accessible, community settings-has been slow.
Objective: This protocol outlines the renewal of the National Institute of Mental Health-funded University of Washington Advanced Laboratories for Accelerating the Reach and Impact of Treatments for Youth and Adults with Mental Illness Center, which draws from human-centered design (HCD) and implementation science to improve clinical interventions and implementation strategies. The Center's second round of funding (2023-2028) focuses on using the Discover, Design and Build, and Test (DDBT) framework to address 3 priority clinical intervention and implementation strategy mechanisms (ie, usability, engagement, and appropriateness), which we identified as challenges to implementation and scalability during the first iteration of the center.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent clinical complication lacking early diagnostic tests and effective treatments. Novel biomarkers have shown promise for enabling earlier detection, risk stratification, and guiding management of AKI. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize evidence on the efficacy of novel biomarkers for AKI detection and management.

- Smoking is a significant public health issue in Tamil Nadu, causing preventable diseases and increasing healthcare costs, necessitating effective smoking cessation strategies in primary health care (PHC) settings.
- The study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of three proposed smoking cessation strategies against the current standard strategy, focusing on various combinations of counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and medications for smokers aged 15 and older.
- Results indicated that the current cessation strategy was more expensive than the proposed strategies, with two of them (PS1 and PS3) being more cost-effective, potentially leading to better resource allocation for smoking cessation efforts.
