Article Abstract
Background: Since the introduction of austerity measures in 2008, funding for care, welfare, services and support systems in the United Kingdom has been reduced. There is little research that explores the experiences of parents of adults with intellectual disabilities and service providers regarding care, relationships and social networks in times of austerity.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 10 parents of adults with intellectual disabilities and nine managers and leaders of relevant services. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify key themes across their experiences.
Results: Experiences suggested four shared key themes in relation to the effects of austerity: distanced relationships; Care Act assessments being used to make cuts; deteriorating health and wellbeing; and participants feeling forced to become fighters.
Conclusions: Whilst previous research has considered the adversarial nature of relationships between parents and service providers, this study suggests they can experience shared difficulties under austerity.

Mixed-species forests are proposed to enhance tree resistance and resilience to drought. However, growing evidence shows that tree species richness does not consistently improve tree growth responses to drought. The underlying mechanisms remain uncertain, especially under unprecedented multiyear droughts.

Tahiti or the "myth of Paradise", Bora Bora, "the Pearl of the Pacific". Who has never wanted to take a plane and come and land on the heavenly beaches of Polynesia, a French territory at the antipodes of mainland France lost in the middle of the Pacific? However, we do not imagine that 60% of Polynesians live below the metropolitan low-income threshold or that life expectancy is lower than that of the mainland due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases with three quarters overweight population.In addition to non-transmissible metabolic diseases, various pathologies common to temperate countries present specificities in Polynesia, leading to sometimes different management and medical reasoning.

This paper will present a case study of local responses to the epidemic in immigrant enclaves and majority-black neighborhoods in Atlanta, Georgia. The COVID-19 health crisis presents an unprecedented challenge for many black and brown communities in the United States which may be particularly vulnerable to the contagion because of higher rates of certain pre-existing conditions like heart disease, lack of access to adequate healthcare services, and financial pressures to continue working despite increasingly risky conditions. In the American South where burgeoning ethnic enclaves, well-establish majority-black neighborhoods, and affluent suburbs exist side by side with vastly different healthcare concerns, disorganized governmental responses to the COVID-19 epidemic highlight the importance of efforts by CBOs (i.

Background: It is unclear whether the current North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) trauma system will be effective in the setting of Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). We sought to model the efficacy of the NATO trauma system in the setting of LSCO. We also intended to model novel scenarios that could better adapt the current system to LSCO.

Background: Lymph node silicosis (LNS) may be found when investigating lung and mediastinal diseases. Co-occurrence of LNS and pulmonary silicosis (PS) has been described but no studies have investigated the diagnostic accuracy of LNS for PS, the aim of this study.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included South African miners with exclusive gold-mining employment who had autopsy examinations from 1975 to 2018.
