Sedentarization and Child Health: A Case Study of the Nutritional Status of Children Under 5 Years Old in the Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia Open
Objectives This study evaluates differences in the nutritional status of children under 5 years old among the Bodi (Mela) of southwest Ethiopia, in the context of a sedentarization program which involved resettlement of pastoralist familie…

A group intervention for parents and carers to recognise and understand restricted and repetitive behaviour in autistic children: a multisite RCT Open
Background Restricted and repetitive behaviours vary greatly between autistic people. Some are a source of pleasure or create opportunities for learning; however, others are functionally impactful and may cause harm. We have developed a pa…

Minimally invasive thoracoscopically-guided right minithoracotomy versus conventional sternotomy for mitral valve repair: the UK Mini Mitral multicentre RCT Open
Background The safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of mitral valve repair via thoracoscopically guided minithoracotomy compared with conventional median sternotomy (Sternotomy) in patients with degenerative mitral valve regurgitat…

Minithoracotomy vs Conventional Sternotomy for Mitral Valve Repair Open
Importance The safety and effectiveness of mitral valve repair via thoracoscopically-guided minithoracotomy (minithoracotomy) compared with median sternotomy (sternotomy) in patients with degenerative mitral valve regurgitation is uncertai…

Use of a targeted, computer/web-based guided self-help psychoeducation toolkit for distressing hallucinations (MUSE) in people with an at-risk mental state for psychosis: protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial Open
Introduction Individuals who access at-risk mental state (ARMS) services often have unusual sensory experiences and levels of distress that lead them to seek help. The Managing Unusual Sensory Experiences (MUSE) treatment is a brief sympto…

Activation of telomerase by TA-65 enhances immunity and reduces inflammation post myocardial infarction Open
Myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates immune ageing characterised by lymphopenia, expansion of terminally differentiated CD8 + T-lymphocytes (CD8 + T EMRA ) and inflammation. Pre-clinical data showed that TA-65, an oral telomerase activat…

Adapted suicide safety plans to address self-harm, suicidal ideation, and suicide behaviours in autistic adults: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial Open
Background Suicide prevention is a national priority for the UK government. Autistic people are at greater risk of experiencing self-harm and suicidal thoughts and behaviours than the general population. Safety plans are widely used in sui…

Activation of mitochondrial telomerase reverses relative lymphopenia post myocardial infarction: results from the randomised, double-blinded TACTIC phase IIa pilot trial Open
Background Immune ageing is a phenomenon which includes lymphopenia, expansion of pro-inflammatory T-lymphocyte subsets and telomere shortening. While lymphopenia predicts mortality after myocardial infarction (MI), MI itself leads to both…

Managing Unusual Sensory Experiences in People with First-Episode Psychosis (MUSE FEP): a study protocol for a single-blind parallel-group randomised controlled feasibility trial Open
Introduction Hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that others do not) are a common feature of psychosis, causing significant distress and disability. Existing treatments such as cognitive–behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) have m…

A clinical and cost-effectiveness trial of a parent group intervention to manage challenging restricted and repetitive behaviours in young children with autism spectrum disorder: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial Open
Background Restricted and repetitive behaviours vary greatly across the autism spectrum, and although not all are problematic some can cause distress and interfere with learning and social opportunities. We have, alongside parents, develop…
