Assessing the impact of socio-demographics and farming activity on ward-level mortality patterns using farm and population decennial censuses
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that farming intensity scores, farming profits and socio-demographics' influence on mortality risk in a Ward were dependent on the specific social-environmental characteristics within that area. In line with earlier area level research, results support the aggregated interpretation that higher levels of farming activity within a Ward increase the risk of mortality within those Wards of NI. This was an essential study to enable future tailoring of new strategies and upgrading of current policies to bring about significant mortality risk change at local level.PMID:38530038 | DOI:10.1111/aj...

Risky business: medical students' feedback-seeking behaviours: a mixed methods study
Med Educ Online. 2024 Dec 31;29(1):2330259. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2024.2330259. Epub 2024 Mar 26.ABSTRACTThere are differing views on how learners' feedback-seeking behaviours (FSB) develop during training. With globalisation has come medical student migration and programme internationalisation. Western-derived educational practices may prove challenging for diverse learner populations. Exploring undergraduate activity using a model of FSB may give insight into how FSB evolves and the influence of situational factors, such as nationality and site of study. Our findings seek to inform medical school processes that support f...

Estimation of risk posed by malignant polyps amongst colorectal surgeons in Australia and New Zealand
CONCLUSION: Colorectal surgeons in Australia and New Zealand accurately estimated the risk posed by malignant polyps. An online risk calculator may assist in better conveying risk to patients.PMID:38523290 | DOI:10.3393/ac.2023.00178.0025 (Source: Annals of Coloproctology)

Daily Pain Severity but Not Vertebral Fractures Is Associated With Lower Physical Activity in Postmenopausal Women With Back Pain
J Aging Phys Act. 2024 Mar 23:1-10. doi: 10.1123/japa.2023-0035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBack pain lifetime incidence is 60%-70%, while 12%-20% of older women have vertebral fractures (VFs), often with back pain. We aimed to provide objective evidence, currently lacking, regarding whether back pain and VFs affect physical activity (PA). We recruited 69 women with recent back pain (age 74.5 ± 5.4 years). Low- (0.5 < g < 1.0), medium- (1.0 ≤ g < 1.5), and high-impact (g ≥ 1.5) PA and walking time were measured (100 Hz for 7 days, hip-worn accelerometer). Linear mixed-effects models assessed associations b...
