BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) affects approximately 145,519 people in the UK. Speech impairments are common with a reported prevalence of 68%, which increase physical and mental demands during conversation, reliance on...
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), with 80% cumulatively developing dementia (PDD). OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify tests that are sensitive to change over time above normal ageing so as to...
INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) is associated with poorer quality of life (QoL). Prior to the onset of PDD, many patients experience progressive cognitive impairment. There is a paucity of longitudinal studies...
BACKGROUND: Some countries impose an upper age limit on whole blood and double RBC donation while others do not. We evaluated the safety of blood donation in older individuals (≥71 years), and their contribution to the blood...
Since its inception in 2012, the British Neurosurgical Trainee Research Collaborative (BNTRC) has established itself as a robust example of a trainee-led research collaborative. This article summarises the work of the...
BACKGROUND: The quality of life (QoL) of informal caregivers of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) (PwP) can be affected by the caring role. Because of cognitive symptoms and diminished activities of daily living, in addition...
BACKGROUND: Acute gallstone disease is a high-volume emergency general surgery presentation with wide variations in the quality of care provided across the UK. This controlled cohort evaluation assessed whether participation in...
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is common in early Parkinson's disease (PD). We evaluated the stability of PD-MCI over time to determine its clinical utility as a marker of disease. METHODS: 212 newly diagnosed...
INTRODUCTION: Anxiety and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are prevalent non-motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD). While few studies have demonstrated a possible link between cognitive dysfunction and anxiety in PD...
With new and evolving technology and ever-increasing remote collaboration, intelligence reporting processes are at a crossroads. Key questions about how best to collaboratively produce reports to get the right information to the...
UNLABELLED: Low-dose CT screening for lung cancer is effective but expensive. Therefore, cheaper or more focused screening strategies may be required. LungSEARCH is a randomised prospective trial of 1568 high-risk individuals...
Worldwide, organizations and small and medium-sized enterprises have already disruptively changed in many ways their physiological inner mechanisms, because of information and communication technologies (ICT) revolution....
This study explores the nature of the elements that co-influence collaborative creativity in instrumental group music learning and the intrinsic potential for enhancing pupil wellbeing as evidenced in a particular...
Pd 3(OAc) 5NO 2, an impurity in "Pd(OAc) 2" {formally Pd 3(OAc) 6}, emerges as a serious issue in the synthesis of pure Pd II complexes derived from Pd(OAc) 2, for example in our C-H activation precatalyst, Pd(OAc) 2(pip) 2 (pip...

BACKGROUND: As gene-targeted therapies are increasingly being developed for Parkinson's disease (PD), identifying and characterizing carriers of specific genetic pathogenic variants is imperative. Only a small fraction of the...
This study aimed to explore how minute paper method (MPM) reconstructs the attitude towards the collaborative reflection among ten primary school English teachers with different levels of achievement goal (AG) and community...
We report the catalytic performance of Au–Pd nanoparticles prepared via a sol immobilisation technique for the catalytic hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde under mild reaction conditions. We synthesised a series of bimetallic Au–Pd...
The collaborative learning approach as a universal teaching strategy is widely used in online learning. It is proven that the group leader has an important impact on group collaborative knowledge construction in online...
We investigate a group all-pay auction in which each group's effort is represented by the minimum among the effort levels exerted by the group members and the prize is a group-specific public good. We fully characterize the...
