Chemsex and the city: Sexualised substance use in gay bisexual and other men who have sex with men attending sexual health clinics
The objective of this study was to analyse associations between sexualised substance use (chemsex), STI diagnoses and sexual behaviour among gay bisexual and other men who have sex with men accessing sexual health clinics to better inform clinical pathways. A retrospective case notes review was undertaken following the introduction of more detailed and holistic profomas for all gay bisexual and other men who have sex with men attending two London…
The development of a national typology for High Nature Value farmland in Ireland based on farm-scale characteristics
Farmland habitat diversity in Ireland
Predicted distribution of High Nature Value farmland in the Republic of Ireland
High Nature Value (HNV) farmland is typically characterised by low-intensity farming associated with high biodiversity and species of conservation concern. Mapping the occurrence and distribution of such farmland are useful for appropriate targeting of conservation measures and supporting associated rural communities. We mapped the likely distribution of HNV farmland in the Republic of Ireland using a linear regression model incorporating establi…
A soil change-based methodology for the quantification and valuation of ecosystem services from agro-ecosystems: A case study of pastoral agriculture in New Zealand
Probation Practice and the New Penology: Practitioner Reflections. By John Deering (Farnham: Ashgate, 2011, 204pp. 55.00 hb) * * Offender Supervision: New Directions in Theory, Research and Practice. …
John Deering’s research monograph, Probation Practice and the New Penology: Practitioner Reflections, provides a fascinating and underexplored area of research that begins to bridge a much-needed chasm between debates about probation practice and contemporary criminological theory. Based on a series of 51 in-depth interviews with staff working across two different probation areas, this book explores their attitudes, perceptions and reflections of…
Presymptomatic Genetic Testing for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Presymptomatic genetic testing for neurodegenerative diseases can help patients make effective treatment decisions, but the medical profession needs to ensure that the increasing use of the tests is done responsibly
State laws on youth access to tobacco in the United States: Measuring their extensiveness with a new rating system
Although all states have laws addressing youth access to tobacco, this analysis reveals that, as of the end of 1996, the progress towards meeting health policy targets is slow, and state legislation that preempts local tobacco regulation is becoming more common
A primary health care service for Glasgow street sex workers-6 years experience of the 'Drop-in Centre', 1989-1994
In Glasgow, a health and social care centre opened in 1988 principally to facilitate HIV prevention among street prostitutes, most of whom are injecting drug users. During 1992 to 1994, 551 women made 17,554 visits to the medical room which is functional 5 nights per week. The mean age of the sex workers was 26 years (range 15 to 62) and 89% injected drugs. Fifty-five per cent of the attendances were for needle/syringe exchange only whilst the re…
Mortality among injecting drug users: A critical reappraisal
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to quantify all cause mortality among injecting drug users. DESIGN--This was a retrospective analysis of 1989 data on injecting drug users and mortality obtained from three independent agencies: the Procurator Fiscal's Office, the General Register Office, and the Scottish HIV-test register. SETTING--Greater Glasgow, Scotland. SUBJECTS--Drug injectors, estimated population 9424. MAIN RESULTS--81 names were found using …
Mortality among drug injectors and notified addicts
Selective migration by birthweight SIR-Martyn et al suggest that selective migra- tion by birthweight may confound epidem- iological studies of early life experience and adult cardiovascular disease among migrants.'They found that the mean birthweight of men born in the north of England (Preston and Sheffield) who sub- sequently left their county of birth was higher than that of men who remained.Higher birthweight, they argue, is associated with …
V. Gordon Childe: A Biographical Sketch
This article describes the main features of V. Gordon Childe's life. Biographical information on Childe is more difficult to obtain than his books and papers, and for this reason I have specifically excluded detailed discussion of his many publications. Aspects of his work are dealt with elsewhere in this journal, and in previous publications (e.g. Gathercole 1971; Green 1981; Trigger 1980)
Screening for disability in the inner city
A 10% sample of private households on the electoral register of the London borough of Lambeth was screened for disable persons aged 16 and over, using a postal questionnaire. After three mailings and individual follow-up of non-responders, 87% of the sample households returned questionnaires. Disability was defined in the screening questionnaire as functional limitations or activity restrictions consequent upon disease or impairment. The overall …
Assessing Functional Status Among Elderly Patients: A Comparison of Questionnaire and Service Provider Ratings
This paper describes a comparative analysis of questionnaire-based measures of functional status and clinical ratings of disability made by general practitioners and health visitors. Both approaches to functional assessment were used in rating 92 elderly primary care patients in terms of their performance of 13 mobility and self-help activities. Simple dichotomous and more complex trichotomous measures of performance were used to summarize functi…

Nasal Carriers of Penicillin-resistant Staphylococci in the General Population
The incidence of sepsis due to penicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus has increased in recent years, particularly in hospitals and to a less extent in the general population Th> noses of healthy persons are an important source of pathogenic staphylococci and it has been shown that organisms from the nose may cause sepsis in the same individual (Williams, Jevons, Shooter, Hunter, Girling, Griffiths, and Taylor, 1959)
