A Three-Year Longitudinal Study of Athlete Mental Health: A Cricket Case Study.

The majority of research on athlete mental health is cross-sectional. The aim of this research was to investigate whether elements of athlete mental health differ between discrete periods of a sporting cycle. We measured depression, anxiety, alcohol misuse, problem gambling, and wellbeing of elite male cricketers during the preseason, mid-season, and off-season across three years.

Microinvasive lobular carcinoma arising in a benign phyllodes tumour - a short report and brief review of the literature.

Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) with microinvasion is a rare entity which is rarely reported in the literature. We describe a case of microinvasive LCIS following excision of a fibroepithelial lesion. The lesion was graded as U3 and M3 on ultrasonography and mammography respectively, and on core needle biopsy was described as a fibroepithelial lesion with 'unusual features'.

Exploring Staff Attitudes Towards Unspecified Kidney Donors in the United Kingdom: Results From the BOUnD Study.

Unspecified kidney donation (UKD) has made substantial contributions to the UK living donor programme. Nevertheless, some transplant professionals are uncomfortable with these individuals undergoing surgery. This study aimed to qualitatively explore the attitudes of UK healthcare professionals towards UKD.

The effectiveness of a primary care-based collaborative care model to improve quality of life in people with severe mental illness: PARTNERS2 cluster randomised controlled trial.

Background: Individuals living with severe mental illness can have significant emotional, physical and social challenges. Collaborative care combines clinical and organisational components.

Aims: We tested whether a primary care-based collaborative care model (PARTNERS) would improve quality of life for people with diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or other psychoses, compared with usual care.

Evaluation of a primary care-based collaborative care model (PARTNERS2) for people with diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar, or other psychoses: study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial.

Background: Current NHS policy encourages an integrated approach to provision of mental and physical care for individuals with long term mental health problems. The 'PARTNERS2' complex intervention is designed to support individuals with psychosis in a primary care setting.

Aim: The trial will evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the PARTNERS2 intervention.

Experiences of completed and withdrawn unspecified kidney donor candidates in the United Kingdom: An inductive thematic analysis from the BOUnD study.

Objectives This study sheds light on some controversial aspects of unspecified kidney donation (UKD) as well as the ways in which potential donors are screened and prepared for the donation experience and its aftermath. The aim of this study was to qualitatively investigate the experiences of individuals involved in the United Kingdom (UK) UKD scheme, including those who complete the donation, are eventually medically withdrawn, or self-withdraw. Better insight into the different experiences of these groups will provide useful guidance to clinical teams on how to better address the differing psychological needs of completed donors as well as those who do not proceed to donation.

Key experiences of primary social groups in Unspecified Kidney Donation.

Background: The role of family members in directed kidney donation is well documented in the literature from both a physiological and psychosocial perspective. The experiences of families, or primary social groups (PSGs), where one member considers donating a kidney via unspecified altruistic kidney donation route (UKD) is poorly understood. This is pertinent as lack of family support has been identified as a potential contributor to donation withdrawal.

Understanding barriers and outcomes of unspecified (non-directed altruistic) kidney donation from both professional's and patient's perspectives: research protocol for a national multicentre mixed-methods prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Living donation accounts for over one-third of all kidney transplants taking place in the UK. The concept of anonymously donating a kidney to a stranger (non-directed altruistic or unspecified kidney donation (UKD)) remains uncomfortable for some clinicians, principally due to concerns about the motivations and long-term physical and psychological outcomes in this donor group.

Aims: The research programme aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the unspecified donor programme in the UK.
