Background: The potential benefits of incorporating digital technologies into health care are well documented. For example, they can improve access for patients living in remote or underresourced locations.

Socioeconomic factors contribute to distinct patterns of food-purchasing behaviors, placing a higher burden of mobility on vulnerable, deprived populations. Traditional approaches often overlook the dynamics of human activity as contextual influences, simulating a perceived food environment that contradicts the actual use thereof.

These roles are prominent in policy, but there is limited evidence on what support is provided by link workers and what factors influence implementation of link worker interventions.
Methods: A convergent, mixed methods process evaluation of an exploratory randomised trial of a one-month general practice-based link worker intervention targeting adults with multimorbidity in deprived areas.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and hypocretins (Hcrt) 1 and 2 are neuropeptides synthesized in the lateral hypothalamic area by neurons that are critical in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. Their receptors are located in the same cerebral regions, including the frontal cortex and hippocampus. The present study aimed to assess whether 96 hours of paradoxical sleep deprivation alters the functioning of the MCH and hypocretin systems.
