Individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs) often present deficiencies in motor, balance and postural control. On the other hand, the practice of physical activity and dance usually reduces these deficiencies. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare the control of the centre of pressure (COP) in people with Down syndrome (DS) or other causes of ID in relation to people without disabilities and to observe the influence of vision and the practice of dance.

This is an important study that contributes to the evidence-base for a higher incidence rate of dementia among women compared to men, and a pooled higher risk of dementia among women. Other research has attributed increased levels of dementia among post-menopausal women to a potential detrimental neurological effect of lack of oestrogens (Rahman et al, 2020), while androgens are purported to have neuroprotective effects (Cai et al, 2020). However, the inconsistency of effect estimates seen by Gong et al. (2022) across cohorts suggests that, if a difference in dementia risk between men and women truly exists, this may not be fully explained by hormonal or biological factors.
Substance use and the mental health consequences in trans and non-binary individuals is currently still understudied, although these individuals are at increased risk of mental illnesses. This study highlights that alcohol use is increased in this community, and is associated with risk factors, using patterns and motives of alcohol use differ based on gender.
The cornerstone of this study is it’s contribution to our learning about what works for whom – and when it works best. Having personally discussed with many clients and ex-clients the changes to service provision that COVID-19 brought, the recurring main theme is the importance of patient choice and the concern that services who are still working predominantly or exclusively remotely are not offering this. We have gained a lot from digital developments during this period, which has increased access to therapy for many people; but we must not let this overshadow the preferences of others who may need other adaptations to ensure they can access services in a timely and appropriate way.
As said by participants in this survey, there are key systemic issues that need addressing as a priority. Food insecurity (a lack of economic, social or physical means to ensure a sufficient supply of nutritionally appropriate food; Purdam et al., 2016) is at an all-time high in the UK and greatly affects those with EDs (Hazzard et al., 2023; Kuehne et al., 2023). Introducing measures that contribute to a culture of shame and anxiety around food will exacerbate the guilt and shame already experienced by those affected by food insecurity and eating disorders. Adding calorie information on menus feels like an extra cruel addition to the hostile environment those recovering from an ED already find themselves in.
this study contributes to the growing evidence-base which suggests that ACT could be another treatment option for people with psychosis. Further studies of ACT for people with psychosis are required to continue building upon the evidence-base.

The identified relationship between parental mood disorders and offspring anxiety disorders provides valuable insights that mental health practitioners can integrate into their practice.

Today a perceived lasting legacy of the Covid-19 pandemic is that more information literacy instruction is happening online than pre-pandemic, including ongoing adoption of synchronous modes of instruction in course-based and co-curricular contexts, and sustained integration of asynchronous learning resources either in standalone formats or as fundamental elements in what is described as a growing adoption of a more modular, scalable approach to information literacy instruction. At the same time, the role of in-person information literacy instruction has by no means been forgotten, with all OCUL libraries offering a majority of instruction this way by Fall 2022, when pandemic restrictions eased up. However, an ongoing legacy of the Covid-19 pandemic has been lasting changes in how librarians teach, and the nature of collaborative partnerships at work in shaping this information literacy instruction, to increasingly draw from a broader range of modalities to offer students a more flexible learning environment.
Interview and survey findings highlighted several strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to support future development of online knowledge sharing platforms.
Discussion
Online knowledge sharing supports six ‘pillars’ of successful research and innovation partnerships. This requires distributed forms of leadership and linking of different knowledge sharing strategies, and careful combination of platforms with communities of practice.
Conclusion
Online knowledge sharing provides pragmatic and timely strategies for health professionals in the UK to apply research evidence to their practice. Our study provides generalisable, practical insights in how to develop and implement a knowledge sharing platform.
Notably, from their initial exposure, students associated e-books primarily with a source of new information, rather than as a time-saving tool. Although e-books were perceived as easy to use, this aspect did not strongly influence students' attitudes and intentions to use them as much as their perceived usefulness did. The study reveals that students, particularly in social sciences, have long viewed e-books as a vital technology for exploratory knowledge acquisition. While they perceive e-books as easy to use, this perception likely stems from their habitual use for managing learning activities, rather than from recognizing any added value of the technology itself.
Results: Thematic analysis revealed three themes: tablets are convenient to access online information and older adults reported technical, security concerns, emotional and cognitive challenges regarding use of smart tablets. Older adults also requested one-on-one support, assistance, and topic specific learning for future training sessions.
Conclusions: Future studies should focus on providing detailed, clear instructions at an acceptable pace for older adults.
Four main themes related to how youth search online emerged: mind-set shapes the search process; external factors shape the search process; key attributes of helpful information; and cues affecting trustworthiness of online information. Findings can inform the development of youth-friendly online mental health information that is perceived as helpful and trustworthy by youth. Ensuring youth have access to quality online mental health information, accessible to how they search for it, is critical to the mental health and development of youth.
Results
We included 79 studies and identified themes, including question realism, answer reliability, answer utility, clinical specialism, systems, usability, and evaluation methods. Clinicians’ questions used to train and evaluate QA systems were restricted to certain sources, types and complexity levels. No system communicated confidence levels in the answers or sources. Many studies suffered from high risks of bias and applicability concerns. Only 8 studies completely satisfied any criterion for clinical utility, and only 7 reported user evaluations. Most systems were built with limited input from clinicians.
Discussion
While machine learning methods have led to increased accuracy, most studies imperfectly reflected real-world healthcare information needs. Key research priorities include developing more realistic healthcare QA datasets and considering the reliability of answer sources, rather than merely focusing on accuracy.

Globally, the bipolar disorder-related prevalent cases, incident cases and number of YLDs all increased from 1990 to 2019. Regionally, the World Health Organization Region of the Americas accounted for the highest estimated YLD number and rate, with the highest age-standardised prevalence rate in 1990 and 2019 and highest EAPC of prevalence. By sociodemographic index (SDI) quintiles, all five SDI regions saw an increase in estimated incident cases. Nationally, New Zealand reported the highest age-standardised rate of incidence, prevalence and YLDs in 1990 and 2019. The most prominent age effect on incidence rate was in those aged 15–19 years. Decreased effects of period on incidence, prevalence and YLD rates was observed overall and in females, not in males. The incidence, prevalence and YLD rates showed an unfavourable trend in the younger cohorts born after 1990, with males reporting a higher cohort risk than females.

While web analytical tools (e.g. Google Analytics) used by such websites can provide descriptive measures of users, there is a disconnection between this data and the current understanding of health information-seeking behaviour. In this work, we leverage a theoretical model to interpret the Google Analytics data. Drawn on the visualisation of user behaviours based on this model, our research shows that better website design can be informed, and the evaluation of health websites can be performed on the basis of different user profiles.
The purpose of this commentary is to provide useful guidance on conducting rigorous searches of the literature that inform the design and execution of research.
