Vaccination hesitancy and conspiracy beliefs associated with COVID-19 vaccination behaviours in young adults in the UK: A cross-sectional cohort study Open
Background Vaccination significantly reduces mortality from COVID-19; however, uptake has declined, with most vaccine hesitancy observed among young adults. Reasons behind low COVID-19 vaccine uptake in this population are poorly understoo…

Phase 3 Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Localized Prostate Cancer Open
Five-fraction SBRT was noninferior to control radiotherapy with respect to biochemical or clinical failure and may be an efficacious treatment option for patients with low-to-intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer as defined in this t…

Radical Prostatectomy Versus Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Clinically Localised Prostate Cancer: Results of the PACE-A Randomised Trial Open
SBRT was associated with less patient-reported urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, and slightly more bowel bother than prostatectomy. These randomised data should inform treatment decision-making for patients with localised, inter…

Can a mock medication-taking learning activity enable pharmacy students to experience the range of barriers and facilitators to medication adherence? An analysis informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework and COM-B model Open
This is the first study to utilise both COM-B and TDF to analyse a proxy measure of medication adherence in pharmacy education. Data mapping demonstrated that students experienced similar issues to patients when prescribed a short course o…

Results of a pilot risk-based lung cancer screening study: outcomes and comparisons to a Medicare eligible cohort Open
Purpose Risk-based lung cancer screening holds potential to detect more cancers and avert more cancer deaths than screening based on age and smoking history alone, but has not been widely assessed or implemented in the United States. The p…

A-193 Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment of a Nine-year-old Child with a Rare Congenital Growth Hormone Deficiency: A Case Study of Cognitive Dysfunction Accompanying the IGF-1-R Mutation Open
Objective The insulin growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1-R) gene plays a pivotal role in human growth and development (Kannian & Ryan, 2019). Heterozygous IGF-1-R mutations represent a rare subtype of congenital growth hormone deficiencies (A…

Reduced mortality rates among caregivers: Does family caregiving provide a stress-buffering effect? Open
Multiple studies have confirmed a seemingly paradoxical finding that family caregivers have lower mortality rates than comparable samples of noncaregivers. Caregivers are often also found to report more symptoms of depression and higher st…
