Assessment of brainstem function and haemodynamics by MRI: challenges and clinical prospects
Br J Radiol. 2023 Sep 18:20220940. doi: 10.1259/bjr.20220940. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMRI offers techniques for non-invasively measuring a range of aspects of brain tissue function. Blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used to assess neural activity, based on the brain's haemodynamic response, while arterial spin labelling (ASL) MRI is a non-invasive method of quantitatively mapping cerebral perfusion. Both techniques can be applied to measure cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an important marker of the health of the cerebrovascular system. BOLD, ASL and CVR ...

The longitudinal contribution of mapping to arithmetic: Do numeral knowledge, inhibition or analogical reasoning matter?
CONCLUSION: Analogical reasoning, rather than numeral knowledge or inhibitory control, may drive that association in young children.PMID:37722852 | DOI:10.1111/bjep.12633

The effectiveness of self: A meta-analysis of using self-referential encoding techniques in education
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that incorporating self-referential encoding techniques on negative materials shows an aversive effect. Overall, there is a universal benefit to using self-referential encoding techniques as an appropriate design guideline in educational contexts. Implications for teaching practice and future directions are discussed. Further studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness in more diverse educational and teaching situations.PMID:37722845 | DOI:10.1111/bjep.12636

Trends in consultations and prescribing for rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases: an electronic primary care records study
CONCLUSION: Pandemic-associated restrictions led to fewer primary care consultations and relative increases in analgesic prescribing, including strong opioids, for RMDs in the UK. Policymakers must consider the impact of these changes in future healthcare resource planning.PMID:37722859 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2022.0648

Inequities in hypertension management: observational cross-sectional study in North East London using electronic health records
CONCLUSION: Individuals of Black ethnicity and younger people are less likely to have controlled hypertension and may warrant targeted interventions. Possible explanations for these findings are presented but further research is needed about reasons for ethnic differences.PMID:37722858 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0077

Osteoporosis and fracture as risk factors for self-harm and suicide: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Patients with vertebral fractures, a risk potential factor for suicide, may benefit from clinical case finding for mood disorders with personalised primary care management. However, because of the limited number and quality of studies and mixed findings, further examination of these associations is warranted.PMID:37722857 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0035

Do both anticipated relief and anticipated regret predict decisions about influenza vaccination?
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that, regardless of valence, counterfactual emotions predict vaccination intention and, indirectly, behaviour. Furthermore, participants may differ in their sensitivity to the anticipation of positive versus negative counterfactual emotions. These findings may permit more precise targeting of interventions to increase vaccine uptake.PMID:37722923 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12691

Understanding primary care perspectives on supporting women's health needs: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: The findings show that relationships and advocacy are valued as fundamental for women's health in general practice, and highlight the adverse impact of threats to these on staff and services. Developing specialist roles and bespoke services can foster staff wellbeing and could support retention. However, care is needed to ensure that service configuration changes do not result in clinician deskilling or rendering services inaccessible. Care is needed when services evolve to ensure that core aspects of general practice are not diminished or devalued. GP teams are well placed to advocate for their patients, inclu...
