Dissociative experiences of compartmentalization are associated with food addiction symptoms: results from a cross‐sectional report
(2023-03-03)
Purpose: Studies have shown significant associations of dissociative symptoms with both eating and addictive disorders; however, the different forms of dissociation have been relatively understudied in relation to food ...
Physical Activity in Adults with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: A Large Cross-Sectional Survey Exploring Patterns, Preferences, Barriers, and Motivating Factors
(2023-01-31)
Adults with severe mental ill health may have specific attitudes toward physical activity. To inform intervention development, we conducted a survey to assess the physical activity patterns, preferences, barriers, and ...
Quality of Life and Physical Function in Older Patients on Dialysis : A Comparison of Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis with Hemodialysis
(2016-03-07)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In-center hemodialysis (HD) is often the default dialysis modality for older patients. Few centers use assisted peritoneal dialysis (PD), which enables treatment at home. This observational study ...
Comparison of energy estimates in chronic kidney disease using doubly-labelled water
(2016-01-27)
BACKGROUND: Total energy expenditure (TEE) is estimated in clinical practice as a combined measure of resting energy expenditure and physical activity level. Commonly available questionnaires to estimate physical activity ...
The role of natriuretic peptides in volume assessment and mortality prediction in Haemodialysis patients
(2015-12-29)
BACKGROUND: Maintaining optimal fluid balance is essential in haemodialysis (HD) patients but clinical evaluation remains problematic. Other technologies such as bioimpedance are emerging as valuable adjuncts. This study ...
The social context of tuberculosis treatment in urban risk groups in the United Kingdom : a qualitative interview study
(2015-03)
OBJECTIVES: There is scant qualitative research into the experiences of tuberculosis (TB) treatment in urban risk groups with complex health and social needs in the UK. This study aimed to describe the social context of ...
Aggression on haemodialysis units : a mixed method study
(2014-08-15)
BACKGROUND: Aggression on haemodialysis units is a growing problem internationally that has received little research attention to date. Aggressive behaviour by patients or their relatives can compromise the safety and ...
Disease-specific predictive formulas for energy expenditure in the dialysis population
(2014-04-28)
OBJECTIVE: Metabolic rate is poorly understood in advanced kidney disease because direct measurement is expensive and time-consuming. Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are needed based on simple ...
Energy metabolism, body composition, and urea generation rate in hemodialysis patients
(2013-10-01)
Hemodialysis (HD) adequacy is currently assessed using normalized urea clearance (Kt/V), although scaling based on Watson volume (V) may disadvantage women and men with low body weight. Alternative scaling factors such as ...
National Diet and Nutrition Survey : UK food consumption and nutrient intakes from the first year of the rolling programme and comparisons with previous surveys
(2011)
The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) is a cross-sectional survey designed to gather data representative of the UK population on food consumption, nutrient intakes and nutritional status. The objectives of the ...
