Protocol for a process evaluation: face-to-face physiotherapy compared with a supported home exercise programme for the management of musculoskeletal conditions: the REFORM trial by David Wong, Catherine Sherrington, Manuela L Ferreira, Christopher G Maher, Hueiming Liu, Joshua R Zadro, Lisa A Harvey, Hannah G Withers, Joanne V Glinsky, Jackie Chu, Matthew D Jennings, Alison J Hayes, Ian J Starkey, Blake A Palmer, Lukas Szymanek, Jackson J Cruwys, Kitty Duong, Anne Barnett, Matthew J Tindall, Barbara R Lucas, Tara E Lambert, Deborah A Taylor

“…This process evaluation will run alongside the REFORM trial. It combines qualitative and quantitative data to help explain the trial results and determine the feasibility of rolling out supported home exercise programmes in settings similar to the REFORM trial.Methods and analysis Two theoretical frameworks underpin our process evaluation methodology: the Realist framework (context, mechanism, outcomes) considers the causal assumptions as to why a supported home exercise programme may be as good or better than face-to-face physiotherapy in terms of the context, mechanisms and outcomes of the trial. …”

Insights on the effect of mega-carcass abundance on the population dynamics of a facultative scavenger predator and its prey by Sidous, Mellina, Cubaynes, Sarah, Gimenez, Olivier, Drouet-Hoguet, Nolwenn, Dray, Stéphane, Bollache, Loïc, Madhlamoto, Daphine, Ngwenya, Nobesuthu Adelaide, Fritz, Hervé, Valeix, Marion

“…We discuss why signals of prey and predator population dynamics decoupling are less likely to be observed in systems with a high diversity of prey, such as African savannas, and why inputs of mega-carcasses as pulsed resources hardly impacted top-down relationships in the long run. This study represents a first investigation of the long-term effects of carrion pulses, whose frequency may increase with climate changes, on the classical predator-prey coupling for large mammals.…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and spread of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase (NDM) in Italy: A call for policymakers by Gabriella Nucera

“…Moreover, as highlighted by the ECDC Report, at local hospital level, surveillance of AMR tend to be unstructured and lacking focus in the keys areas of interest, and not all hospitals have an on-site microbiology laboratory supported by a microbiologist, as well as not all microbiology units of laboratories are run by a medical doctor. The different accreditation system of laboratories among Italian regions, furthermore, hinders the process of building up an effective comprehensive monitoring system at national level [5]. …”
