This article discusses the Admission and Treatment Unit at Fair Mile Hospital, in Cholsey, near Wallingford, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). This was the first new hospital to be completed in England following the launch of the National Health Service. The building was designed by Powell and Moya, one of the most important post-war English architectural practices, and was completed in 1956, but demolished in 2003. The article relates the commission of the building to landmark policy changes and argues for its historic significance in the context of the NHS and of the evolution of mental health care models and policies. It also argues for the need for further study of those early NHS facilities in view of current developments in mental health provision.
The aim of this study was to develop a questionnaire that allows researchers to investigate and measure the impact of physical disability on pregnancy and the management of motherhood. Such a questionnaire requires good internal consistency.
The tool was developed following a study conducted in 2013 in the United States consisting of a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions. A team of three experts drafted and refined the questions, generating 31 retrospective, self-rated, and predefined questions (answered using a 5-point Likert scale). A statistical analysis of the instrument was also included, to assess its reliability and internal consistency.
The Pregnancy and Motherhood Evaluation Questionnaire (PMEQ) was prepared. It is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of an initial section and three subscales. In this phase of the study, 35 women with different pathologies leading to physical disability were recruited and completed the questionnaire. The PMEQ was found to have a good intal tasks.
The PMEQ has proven to be a valid, reliable, and rapid administrative tool useful for investigating and measuring the impact of physical disability on the management of pregnancy and motherhood. IMPLICATION FOR REHABILITATION This study provides researchers and clinicians a new tool for the evaluation of motherhood and pregnancy in women with physical disabilities. The PMEQ has proven to be a valid, reliable, and rapid administrative tool (10 min) useful for investigating and measuring the impact of physical disability on the management of pregnancy and motherhood. It is a new tool useful in both clinical and research practice to underline the importance of carrying out preventive and woman-centered assistance interventions. This tool is useful for promoting the autonomous management of pregnancy and motherhood in women with physical disabilities, and improving these women's quality of life and sense of satisfaction and competence in managing maternal tasks.
This study aims to explore the effect of thymoquinone (TQ) on particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)-induced lung injury.
The PM2.5 sample was provided by Shenyang Environment Monitor Central Station. Lung injury was established by intratracheal instillation PM2.5 (7.5 mg/kg) followed by TQ treatment (20 and 40 mg/kg) for 14 d in rats. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Evans blue dye (EBD) staining were detected on lung tissues. ELISA, real-time PCR, western blotting and TUNEL assays were also performed.
The data showed that TQ diminished lung injury and EBD accumulation. The number of macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, and lymphocytes was ameliorated after TQ treatment. In addition, TQ suppressed the inflammation reaction parameters (interleukin-1β and -6, IL-1β and IL-6; tumor necrosis factor-α, TNF-α) and oxidative stress in PM2.5-induced lung injury. The levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase (HO-1) were increased due to the treatment of TQ. The number of TUNEL-positive cells was prominently reduced in TQ-treated rats compared with that in PM2.5 group. Intratracheal instillation PM2.5 activated autophagy, whilst TQ blocked it in lung.
Taken together, this study provides the first
evidence that TQ suppresses inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy in PM2.5-induced lung injury.
Taken together, this study provides the first in vivo evidence that TQ suppresses inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy in PM2.5-induced lung injury.
To analyse the number of, timing of, and reasons for early termination of interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation (IPR).
A multicentre study in two Dutch rehabilitation centres with a mixed method design. Quantitative part retrospective patient file review of all IPR patients. Qualitative part 20 semi-structured patient interviews with early IPR terminators.
One hundred and thirty-seven of 428 participants (31.3%) had terminated IPR early, of which almost 30% had a positive reason. Of a planned treatment duration of 12weeks, the median (interquartile range (IQR)) reduction was 5.3week (3.0; 8.0). Over 80% of the early terminators with negative reasons stopped in the first half of IPR, whereas approximately 55% of the early terminators with positive reasons stopped in the final quarter of IPR. A discrepancy between patient expectations of the aim and content and the actual IPR was mentioned as a negative reason for early termination. Many of the positive early terminators were able to self-manage.
Previoted figures on early termination were confirmed. Early termination of IPR should not be considered negative per se, because a substantial proportion of early terminations have a positive reason. Negative early terminators tend to stop earlier during IPR, compared to positive terminators. Implications for rehabilitation Substantial rates of patients (31%) terminate interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation (IPR) earlier than planned. Early IPR termination should not be considered negative per se, because a substantial proportion of early terminations have a positive reason (i.e. goals achieved early). Although patients receive extensive personalised information about aim and content of IPR before starting, early terminators with a negative reason often have different expectations about the aim and content of treatment. Molibresib Clinicians and researchers should be focused on how to explain IPR to the patient and check whether the patient has understood it well and is convinced of its credibility.
