Food insecurity is a major problem in the UK. It has been both highlighted and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and particularly affects children and young people (CYP). The effects of inadequate nutrition manifest themselves in all stages of child development and adversely affect health and educational outcomes. Healthcare professionals working with CYP can address food insecurity at individual, local community, organisational and national levels. The government plays an important role in monitoring and responding to food insecurity, supporting CYP most in need.This paper summarises how food insecurity can be identified and approached by healthcare professionals in clinical consultations, including the use of screening tools and awareness of risk factors that signpost family food insecurity. Examples of services and clinician-assisted referrals to support vulnerable patients are provided, alongside suggested methods to implement further education for the multidisciplinary healthcare team.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are events during childhood that are stressful and may impact upon mental and physical health having effects in childhood and future adulthood. Examples of ACEs include abuse (physical, emotional, sexual); neglect; living in a household with domestic violence, substance or alcohol misuse, or criminal behaviour; or living with a caregiver with mental illness. A history of ACEs is not routinely sought in UK healthcare. As a result opportunities to prevent and modify the negative effects of adverse childhood events are missed.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the vulnerable refugee populations of the world need more support than ever before.

Despite the interest in MXenes in the past decade, MXenes are often highly disordered, which can complicate their study and use. For example, nearly all MXenes have a random mixture of surface terminations (−O, −OH, −F). In addition, restacked 3D films have turbostratic disorder and often contain ions, solvent, and other species in between their layers. Here, we report Y2CF2, a layered crystal with a unit cell isostructural to a MXene, in which layers are capped only by fluoride anions. We directly synthesize the 3D crystal through a high-temperature solid-state reaction, which affords the 3D crystal in high yield and purity and ensures that only fluoride ions terminate the layers. We characterize the crystal structure and electronic properties using a combination of experimental and computational techniques. We find that relatively strong electrostatic interactions bind the layers together into a 3D crystal and further find that the lack of orbital overlap between layers gives rise to a description of Y2CF2as slabs of MXene-like sheets electrically insulated from one another. Therefore, we consider Y2CF2as a pure 3D crystalline stack of MXene-like sheets. In addition, Y2CF2is the first transition metal carbide fluoride experimentally synthesized. We hope this work inspires further exploration of transition metal carbide fluorides, which are potentially a large and useful class of compositions.

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome usually caused by heterozygous variants in ribosomal proteins (RP) and which leads to severe anemia. Genetic studies in DBA rely primarily on multigene panels that often result in variants of unknown significance. Our objective was to optimize polysome profiling in order to functionally validate new large subunit RP variants. We determined the optimal experimental conditions for B-cell polysome profiles then performed this analysis on 2 children with DBA and novel missense RPL5(uL18) and RPL26(uL24) variants of unknown significance. Both patients had reduced 60S and 80S fractions when compared with an unaffected parent consistent with a large ribosomal subunit defect. Polysome profiling using primary B-cells is an adjunctive tool that can assist in validation of large subunit RP variants of uncertain significance. Further studies are necessary to validate this method in patients with known DBA mutations, small RP subunit variants, and silent carriers.

Researchers have evaluated the effects of repeated reading and listening-while-reading interventions on oral reading fluency and comprehension, and have compared the effects of these two interventions on indirect measures of comprehension. The current study was designed to extend this research by evaluating and comparing the effects of these two interventions using direct measures of reading comprehension and reading comprehension rates, or the amount of passage comprehended per time spent reading. To determine if an interaction exists between passage difficulty and intervention condition, students read two passages for each condition, one easier and one harder passage. Results revealed main effects on comprehension rate, but not on comprehension accuracy. These findings suggest that neither intervention enhanced comprehension, but listening while reading enhanced comprehension rates on both easier and harder passages, indicating that it may be a significantly more efficient procedure for enhancing comprehension. Implications for measurement, academic accommodations, class-wide instruction, and future research are discussed.

Psychological therapies are first-line interventions for depression, but existing provision is not accessible for many adults with intellectual disabilities. We investigated the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a behavioural activation intervention (BeatIt) for people with intellectual disabilities and depression. BeatIt was compared with a guided self-help intervention (StepUp).

Background:For stroke centers performing endovascular procedures, ensuring documentation of post procedure assessments - site and pulse - is not only important for patient safety but also for program certification. Not being able to demonstrate the appropriate documentation during certification site visits can lead to survey findings and action plans that must be created and managed. Use of tools in an EMR can assist the nurse with documentation compliance for these important assessments.Methods:The electronic medical record (EMR) build was mirrored after an already established process for post IV thrombolytic monitoring. When the thrombolytic order set is initiated and the IV thrombolytic medication is documented on the medication administration record, tasks “fire” to the nurse tasklist related to post thrombolytic monitoring for the 24 hour post IV monitoring period. The nurse can select the task on the tasklist and it takes the nurse to the appropriate place to document as well as at the appropriate time to document. Use of this process helped to drive compliance with post IV thrombolytic monitoring documentation. In order to achieve compliance for post procedure assessments documentation, this same process was requested by nursing. To achieve this, the EMR was designed to “fire” tasks to the nurse tasklist when the post thrombectomy order set is initiated and the time hemostasis is achieved is documented; these tasks cover the post thrombectomy monitoring for the required 24 hours. Part of these tasks include post procedure assessments.Results:From May 2019 to October 2019 the average monthly compliance for post procedure assessments was 77.6%. In November 2019, the appropriate tasking function was implemented in the EMR and education related to the new process was provided. From December 2019 to May 2020 average monthly compliance has been 91.1% with a monthly compliance rate greater than 90% since February 2020.Conclusions:Use of the nurse tasklist in an electronic medical can assist the nurse with documentation of post procedure assessments and achieve documentation compliance.

A chronic cough in children is defined in the British Thoracic Society guidelines as a cough of 8 weeks or more. The aetiology of a chronic cough in children differs from adult populations, due to decreased cough reflex control in children, differences in airway anatomy and physiology, and immunological and neurological maturation changes. The three most common causes of chronic cough in adults (asthma, gastro-oesophageal reflux, and upper airway cough syndrome) account for less than 10% of the causes in children. Thus, it is important to assess and manage chronic cough in children differently.

Introduction: The main goal of Hemophilia A treatment has been to restore secondary hemostasis, whether through direct factor VIII replacement or through a combination of bypassing agents and immune tolerance induction in cases of inhibitor activity. In pediatric populations, these treatments are frequently given through a central venous access device (CVAD) for ease of access, convenience, and mitigation of pain. However, these devices carry the risk of infection and thromboembolism (Cost & Journeycake, 2011). The new Hemophilia treatment emicizumab (Hemlibra) has the benefits of less frequent dosing (weekly to every 4 weeks) and does not require central venous access since it is given subcutaneously.
