Improving continuity of forensic mental health care
Authors: de Vogel Vivienne , Schaftenaar Petra , Clercx Maartje 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
Continuity of forensic mental health care is important in building protective structures around a patient and has been shown to decrease risks of relapse. Realising continuity can be complicated due to restrictions from finances or legislation and difficulties in collaboration between settings. In the Netherlands, several programs have been developed to improve continuity of forensic care. It is unknown whether professionals and clients are sufficiently aware of these programs. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Design/methodology/approach
The experienced difficulties and needs of professionals and patients regarding continuity of forensic care were explored by means of an online survey and focus groups. The survey was completed by 318 professionals. Two focus groups with professionals (15 participants), one focus group and one interview with patients (six participants) were conducted.

Findings
The overall majority (85.6 percent) reported to experience problems in continuity on a frequent basis. The three main problems are: first, limited capacity for discharge from inpatient to outpatient or sheltered living; second, collaboration between forensic and regular mental health care; and, third, limited capacity for long-term inpatient care. Only a quarter of the participants knew the existing programs. Actual implementation of these programs was even lower (3.9 percent). The top three of professionals’ needs are: better collaboration; higher capacity; more knowledge about rules and regulation. Participants of the focus groups emphasized the importance of transparent communication, timely discharge planning and education.

Practical implications
Gathering best practices about regional collaboration networks and developing a blueprint based on the best practices could be helpful in improving collaboration between setting in the forensic field. In addition, more use of systematic discharge planning is needed to improve continuity in forensic mental health care. It is important to communicate in an honest, transparent way to clients about their forensic mental health trajectories, even if there are setbacks or delays. More emphasis needs to be placed on communicating and implementing policy programs in daily practice and more education about legislation is needed Structured evaluations of programs aiming to improve continuity of forensic mental health care are highly needed.

Originality/value
Policy programs hardly reach professionals. Professionals see improvements in collaboration as top priority. Patients emphasize the human approach and transparent communication.
Religion, spirituality and personal recovery among forensic patients
Authors: Glorney Emily , Raymont Sophie , Lawson Amy , Allen Jessica 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
Religion and spirituality are well-researched concepts within the field of psychology and mental health yet they have rarely been researched in high-secure services within the UK. Research in mental health and prison contexts suggests benefits of religion/spirituality to coping, social support, self-worth, symptoms of depression and anxiety and behavioural infractions. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of religion/spirituality in high-secure service users’ personal recovery.

Design/methodology/approach
Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 13 male patients in a high-secure hospital, with primary diagnoses of mental illness (n=11) or personality disorder (n=2). Participants were from a range of religious/spiritual backgrounds and were asked about how their beliefs impact their recovery and care pathways within the hospital. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Findings
Three superordinate themes were identified: “religion and spirituality as providing a framework for recovery”; “religion and spirituality as offering key ingredients in the recovery process”; and “barriers to recovery through religion/spirituality”. The first two themes highlight some of the positive aspects that aid participants’ recovery. The third theme reported hindrances in participants’ religious/spiritual practices and beliefs. Each theme is discussed with reference to sub-themes and illustrative excerpts.

Practical implications
Religion/spirituality might support therapeutic engagement for some service users and staff could be more active in their enquiry of the value that patients place on the personal meaning of this for their life.

Originality/value
For the participants in this study, religion/spirituality supported the principles of recovery, in having an identity separate from illness or offender, promoting hope, agency and personal meaning.
Customer deference to service providers in ordinary service encounters

Published: August 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of customer deference to service providers in service encounters, and articulate its chief antecedents, experiences and consequences.Design/methodology/approachData were collected in Thailand, using critical incident technique. A total of 253 subjects share their experiences of being “deferential” (i.e. “kreng-jai” in Thailand) during everyday service encounters.FindingsThe findings indicate that in cultures in which the cultural norm (i.e. kreng-jai) is to be considerate of others, customers often become deferential of the service provider during service encounters, especially when customers perceive that the service provider’s well-being is compromised. However, customer deference involves aversive feelings which lead customers to devise coping strategies and avoid future contact with a company.Research limitations/implicationsUsing a specific cultural norm, the findings challenge prior finding that people from collectivist culture are more likely to tolerate and be satisfied with service encounters, and document the role of previously unexamined customer-related factors in driving satisfaction in ordinary service encounters.Practical implicationsThe findings recommend service providers to preempt customers’ deference by establishing and communicating the role and acceptable behaviors, managing physical distance with customers, and monitoring customer non-verbal behavior and facial expressions to detect the customers’ true feelings.Originality/valueNo prior research has comprehensively examined the phenomenon whereby consumers seek to benefit service providers at the expense of their own well-being. This study demonstrates that customer deference degrades customer satisfaction even in ordinary service encounters.
Examining the amount of mandatory non-financial information disclosed by Spanish state-owned enterprises and its potential influential variables
Authors: Andrades Peña Javier , Jorge Manuel Larrán 
Published: August 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the extent of mandatory non-financial information disclosed by Spanish state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and barriers to and/or drivers of such disclosures.Design/methodology/approachTo accomplish this task, three data sources were used. To study the extent of non-financial information disclosed and the influence exerted by some variables of such disclosures, the authors performed a content analysis of website disclosures of all Spanish SOEs identified by the General Intervention Board of the State Administration. Likewise, reports published by such companies on their web pages were also examined. To investigate the barriers to the disclosure of non-financial information by Spanish SOEs, the data were collected through interviews with key personnel.FindingsResults showed that the disclosure of mandatory non-financial information by Spanish SOEs is lagging behind when compared to private companies. The key personnel revealed different reasons for the low level of disclosures such as the lack of an accountability awareness in Spain. The institutional size was the variable that most significantly affects the disclosure of mandatory non-financial information by Spanish SOEs.Originality/valueThe main contribution of this research was to examine the influence of some variables on the amount of mandatory non-financial information disclosed by Spanish SOEs. Previous studies have been focused on exploring the level of non-financial information disclosed voluntarily by these companies.

Published: August 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to study the features of microstructures and mechanical properties of the joints which were produced by transient liquid phase method. The difference between phases in bonding region identified through metallography pictures and applying hardness and shear strength tests.Design/methodology/approachThe bonding process was carried out at a temperature of 300°C for time durations ranging from 15 to 120 min. The scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy system and optical microscopy were used to examine microstructural characteristics, and mechanical properties of the joints were studied by applying microhardness and shear tests. The shear tests were conducted by a shear fixture which was mounted on the tensile machine.FindingsThe intermetallic compounds of the Cu6Sn5−η and the Cu3Sn-ε were formed simultaneously in the bonding interface. Although the η-phase, which exhibits scallop-shaped morphology, grows very quickly, upon completion of the isothermal solidification stage, it turns into the ε-phase. The hardness of the bonding interface is significantly higher than that of the substrate. The shear results show that once the bonding process is complete, brittle fracture occurs. Moreover, a greater decrease in strength was observed when the ε-phase is the only phase in the bonding region.Originality/valueThe hardness number of the η-phase is higher than that of the ε-phase. The hardness numbers of the η-phase and the ε-phase are 894 and 689 HV, respectively. The mean shear strength values of the samples that were bonded at 300 °C for 15, 60 and 120 min were 11.7, 9.5 and 5.4 MPa, respectively.

SummaryPacific oyster mortality syndrome affects juveniles of Crassostrea gigas oysters and threatens the sustainability of commercial and natural stocks of this species. Vibrio crassostreae (V. crassostreae) has been repeatedly isolated from diseased animals, and the majority of the strains have been demonstrated to be virulent for oysters. In this study, we showed that oyster farms exhibited a high prevalence of a virulence plasmid carried by V. crassostreae, while oysters, at an adult stage, were reservoirs of this virulent population. The pathogenicity of V. crassostreae depends on a novel transcriptional regulator, which activates the bidirectional promoter of a type 6 secretion system (T6SS) genes cluster. Both the T6SS and a second chromosomal virulence factor, r5.7, are necessary for virulence but act independently to cause haemocyte (oyster immune cell) cytotoxicity. A phylogenetically closely related T6SS was identified in V. aestuarianus and V. tapetis, which infect adult oysters and clams respectively. We propose that haemocyte cytotoxicity is a lethality trait shared by a broad range of mollusc pathogens, and we speculate that T6SS was involved in parallel evolution of pathogen for molluscs.

AbstractThe geomagnetic field (GMF) is an environmental cue that provides directional information for animals. The intensity of GMF is varied over space and time. Variations in the GMF intensity affect the navigation of animals and their physiology. In this study, the phototaxis of the migratory insect rice planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (N. lugens) and frataxin in N. lugens (Nl‐fh), which is a mitochondrial protein required for cellular iron homeostasis and iron‐sulfur cluster assembly, were investigated by using different intensities of magnetic field. From the results, individuals of N. lugens showed decreased phototaxis when reared and tested in a behavioral arena under a strong magnetic field. Besides the reduction in performance, an accompanying effect of the strong magnetic field condition was a reduced level of Nl‐fh‐messenger RNA, and a Nl‐fh knockdown indeed impaired the phototactic behavior in a tested sample of insects. This leads to the conclusion that the expression of frataxin is dependent on the strength of the surrounding magnetic field and that functional frataxin facilitates phototactic behavior in N. lugens.

SummaryWe evaluated the effect of adrenaline on human skin microcirculation (nutritive and sub‐papillary) and systemic cardiovascular variables after it was added to lidocaine in infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks. Twelve healthy, non‐smoking male volunteers were included, each attending two study sessions 2 weeks apart, and they were studied using a crossover design. In both sessions, they received an ultrasound‐guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block in the non‐dominant arm with 0.4 ml.kg−1 lidocaine, 15 mg.ml−1 with or without adrenaline 5 μg.ml−1. Microcirculation was assessed by laser Doppler fluxmetry (sub‐papillary blood flow), capillary video microscopy (nutritive blood flow) and continuous temperature measurements. Heart rate and arterial pressure were recorded continuously and non‐invasively. Median (IQR [range]) sub‐papillary blood flow increased substantially 30 min after the brachial plexus block, from 8.5 (4.4–13.5 [2.9–28.2]) to 162.7 (111.0–197.8 [9.5–206.7]) arbitrary units with adrenaline (p = 0.017), and from 6.9 (5.3–28.5 [1.8–42.1] to 133.7 (16.5–216.7 [1.0–445.0] arbitrary units without adrenaline (p = 0.036). Nutritive blood flow (functional capillary density, capillaries.mm−2, measured at the dorsal side of the hand) decreased in the blocked extremity when adrenaline was used as adjuvant, from median (IQR [range]) 45 (36–52 [26–59]) to 38 (29–41 [26–42]), p = 0.028, whereas no significant change occurred without adrenaline. Median finger skin temperature (°C) increased by 44% (data pooled) with no significant differences between the groups. No significant changes were found in the systemic cardiovascular variables with or without adrenaline. We conclude that lidocaine infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks caused an increase in skin sub‐papillary blood flow. The addition of adrenaline produced stronger and longer lasting blocks, but decreased the nutritive blood flow.

BackgroundPrediction of early mortality after hepatectomies for hepatocellular carcinoma is essential to identify high‐risk patients and to decrease the operative mortality rate. Several post‐operative clinical risk scores were developed recently to predict mortality post‐hepatectomy; however, which one is the best remains undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the different post‐operative clinical risk scores in predicting early mortality after hepatectomies.MethodsA total of 240 patients who underwent liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma at our hospital between June 2011 and July 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Post‐operative clinical risk scores including 50–50 criteria, peak bilirubin >7 mg/dL, model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD), risk assessment for early mortality and Hyder scores were evaluated for their performance in predicting early mortality after hepatic resection using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsThe 90‐day mortality rate after hepatic resection was around 2.5%. The 50–50 criteria and peak bilirubin >7 mg/dL were weak predictors of early mortality with low sensitivity (area under the ROC curve: 0.65, 0.66, respectively), whereas, Hyder, risk assessment for early mortality, and post‐operative MELD were good predictors of early mortality (area under the ROC curve: 0.89, 0.91 and 0.88, respectively). Moreover, MELD score on post‐operative day 3 was an independent risk factor for 90‐day mortality with an odds ratio of 1.4 (95% confidence interval 1.06–1.81, P = 0.02).ConclusionsPost‐operative clinical risk scores, especially MELD, were capable of predicting early mortality after liver resection and should be used to identify high‐risk patients and provide them with more intensive medical care.

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of this study was to clarify the impact of dementia on surgical outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis.MethodsWe reviewed medical data of 96 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholecystitis and acute cholecystitis. The patients were divided into the dementia group (n = 18) and non‐dementia group (n = 78). Clinical features of the patients and surgical outcomes were compared between the two groups.ResultsMean age and rates of The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification score > 2 in the dementia group were significantly higher than those of the non‐dementia group (P < .001, P = .008, respectively). Incidences of acute cholecystitis and the rate of percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage in the dementia group were significantly higher than those of the non‐dementia group (P = .009, P = .01, respectively). The rates of conversion to laparotomy and non‐surgical complications in the dementia group were higher than those in the non‐dementia group (P = .02, P = .03, respectively). Postoperative hospital stay in the dementia group was significantly longer than that in the non‐dementia group (15.2 ± 9.3 vs 8.2 ± 3.2 days, P = .009). Subgroup analysis of patients with acute cholecystitis showed postoperative hospital stay in the dementia group to be significantly longer than that in the non‐dementia group (18.7 ± 10.7 vs 10.3 ± 4.2 days, P = .03).ConclusionPatients with dementia who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy have a high incidence of acute cholecystitis and a high rate of percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage, which may result in increased rates of conversion to laparotomy and prolong the postoperative hospital stay.
The ethical landscape of gene drive research
Authors: Callies Daniel Edward 
Published: August 2019

AbstractGene drive technology has immense potential. The ability to bypass the laws of Mendelian inheritance and almost ensure the transmission of specific genetic material to future generations creates boundless possibilities. But alongside these boundless possibilities are major social and ethical issues. This article aims to introduce gene drive technology, some of its potential applications, and some of the social and ethical issues that arise during research into the technology. For example, is investigation into gene drives hubristic? Would applications of gene drives count as technological fixes? Or does research into such a technology sit on a slippery slope or lock us in to its full‐scale use? Are there perverse effects of engaging in research, and, most importantly, who ought to be included in the decision‐making process regarding research and field trials? Understanding the basic ethical landscape of this technology will prove invaluable to the public, scientists, and policy‐makers as research moves forward.

Published: August 2019

SummaryWe analysed the outcomes of 62 patients with refractory/relapsed diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (rrDLBCL) who had pre‐transplantation fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) after R‐DHAC (rituximab, dexamethasone, high‐dose cytarabine, carboplatin) salvage chemotherapy, and were evaluated using Deauville criteria and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). A positive pre‐transplantation PET/CT with Deauville score of 5 was associated with shorter progression‐free survival (PFS) (P = 0·01), while a Deauville score of 4 was not predictive of outcome. Only pre‐transplant TLG was significantly associated with both PFS (P = 0·005) and overall survival (P = 0·03). TLG deserves to be further investigated in prospective studies.
