Background
Modern psychometric methods make it possible to eliminate nonperforming items and reduce measurement error. Application of these methods to existing outcome measures can reduce variability in scores, and may increase treatment effect sizes in depression treatment trials.
AimsWe aim to determine whether using confirmatory factor analysis techniques can provide better estimates of the true effects of treatments, by conducting secondary analyses of individual patient data from randomised trials of antidepressant therapies.
MethodWe will access individual patient data from antidepressant treatment trials through Clinicalstudydatarequest.com and Vivli.org, specifically targeting studies that used the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) as the outcome measure. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic approaches will be used to determine pre-treatment (baseline) and post-treatment models of depression, in terms of the number of factors and weighted scores of each item. Differences in the derived factor scores between baseline and outcome measurements will yield an effect size for factor-informed depression change. The difference between the factor-informed effect size and each original trial effect size, calculated with total HRSD-17 scores, will be determined, and the differences modelled with meta-analytic approaches. Risk differences for proportions of patients who achieved remission will also be evaluated. Furthermore, measurement invariance methods will be used to assess potential gender differences.
ConclusionsOur approach will determine whether adopting advanced psychometric analyses can improve precision and better estimate effect sizes in antidepressant treatment trials. The proposed methods could have implications for future trials and other types of studies that use patient-reported outcome measures.

Background:
Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) are ubiquitous in dementia and are often treated pharmacologically. The objectives of this study were to describe the use of psychotropic, anti-cholinergic, and deliriogenic medications and to identify the prevalence of polypharmacy and psychotropic polypharmacy, among older hospitalized patients in Ireland, with and without dementia.
Methods:All older patients (≥ 70 years old) that had elective or emergency admissions to six Irish study hospitals were eligible for inclusion in a longitudinal observational study. Of 676 eligible patients, 598 patients were recruited and diagnosed as having dementia, or not, by medical experts. These 598 patients were assessed for delirium, medication use, co-morbidity, functional ability, and nutritional status. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of medication data on admission for 583/598 patients with complete medication data, and controlled for age, sex, and co-morbidity.
Results:Of 149 patients diagnosed with dementia, only 53 had a previous diagnosis. At hospital admission, 458/583 patients experienced polypharmacy (≥ 5 medications). People with dementia (PwD) were significantly more likely to be prescribed at least one psychotropic medication than patients without dementia (99/147 vs. 182/436; p < 0.001). PwD were also more likely to experience psychotropic polypharmacy (≥ two psychotropics) than those without dementia (54/147 vs. 61/436; p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the prescribing patterns of anti-cholinergics (23/147 vs. 42/436; p = 0.18) or deliriogenics (79/147 vs. 235/436; p = 0.62).
Conclusions:Polypharmacy and psychotropic drug use is highly prevalent in older Irish hospitalized patients, especially in PwD. Hospital admission presents an ideal time for medication reviews in PwD.

Clinician optimism is an important factor in achieving treatment outcomes in counselling contexts. Currently, there are no measures of mental health clinician optimism which report substantial psychometric validation. This study sought to assesses the validity and reliability of the Therapeutic Optimism Scale (TOS). 223 mental health clinicians working in a range of clinical settings were administered the TOS and convergent and discriminate validity were established. Test–retest reliability was established over a period of 1 month. The TOS was found to achieve acceptable reliability (Cronbach's α = .68) and yielded consistent scores over a one month period (r = .68, p < .01). Factor analyses revealed a 3-factor solution reflecting (1) General Treatment Outcome Expectancy, (2) Personal Treatment Outcome Expectancy, and (3) Pessimism. These findings support the utility of the TOS for research purposes, but further revision is recommended to enhance the reliability of the scale.

Summary
Key Findings
• More than half of people in minority ethnic groups describe their national identity as British, English or a combination of the two.
• Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian and Black Caribbean ethnic groups are the most likely to consider themselves as exclusively British.
• An English-only national identity is favoured by more than seven tenths of the White British ethnic group.
• Those in the White British ethnic group are less likely to describe themselves as English if they live in London rather than other parts of the country.
• Immigrants from regions where there is a history of British colonialism are more likely to consider themselves as British than those born in other world regions.
• Fewer than a quarter of Muslims do not identify with a British national identity.
• Muslims living in communities where there is a greater cluster of other Muslims are more likely to describe themselves as British than Muslims living away from those clusters.
Introduction
This chapter presents national identity data from the 2011 Census. It starts with a brief review of the political context and theoretical debates in the field before describing how national identity varies by ethnic group, birthplace, religion and across local authority districts in England.
Policy context
In 2006 the Conservative Party leader, David Cameron, argued that “every child in our country, wherever they come from, must know and deeply understand what it means to be British” (British Political Speech, 2006). In this, he follows a long line of politicians (including John Major on the right and Gordon Brown on the left) who express concern about a perceived lack of affiliation to a notion of ‘Britishness’. However, politicians struggle to define what it means to be British. Cameron himself could only offer: “the components of our identity – our institutions, our language and our history”. Concerns about national identity have taken on particular force in the context of widespread critiques of state multiculturalism (Thomas, 2011). In part, these critiques are shaped by responses to civil disturbances in Oldham and Bradford in 2001 and in the declared War on Terror after the 9/11 bombings in New York and the 7/7 bombings in London. There have been debates as to how strong the multicultural policies are that have actually been introduced, particularly within the public sphere of law, government, employment, education and the market, as opposed to a rhetoric of multiculturalism (Grillo, 2007).

Objectives: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is the strongest predictor of suicidal behaviour. This retrospective study reviewed all DSH presentations to our Paediatric Emergency Department between 2002-2006.
Method: Using database and medical records we profiled these presentations. Data was coded and statistically analysed.
Results: There were 253 DSH attendances. Twenty-four percent were living in care, 15% were under 12 years and 14% presented more than once. Overdoses (61%) were more common than cutting (16%) and 56% had a psychiatric condition.
Conclusions: DSH presents an ongoing challenge to child and adolescent mental health services and those working in suicide prevention. Identifying the characteristics of these young people is essential to providing appropriate treatment for this high-risk group.

We analyze what is known and unknown about the contribution of the pharmacist as patient educator, physician consultant, and agent to affect patient outcomes in ambulatory settings. The need for pharmacist services is discussed, as are the theoretical underpinnings and quality of the scientific evidence to support their efficacy. The analysis is conducted in the context of a shift in pharmacists' roles from product to patient orientation as well as recent U.S. legislation mandating enhanced pharmacists' roles via drug utilization review for all Medicaid patients. We conclude with a research and action agenda, calling for stronger research designs in evaluating pharmacists' interventions. The shifting paradigm in the pharmacy profession, coupled with the implementation of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, provide unique opportunities for rigorous evaluations of pharmacists as agents of change for rational drug therapy.

An earlier experiment by Byrne (1981) found that young, poor readers tend to act out sentences containing adjectives with object control, like easy, as though they were adjectives with subject control, like eager. Byrne interpreted this result as evidence that poor readers lag in the acquisition of syntactic knowledge underlying this distinction. However, the possibility that a processing limitation could have contributed to the poor readers' difficulties with objectcontrol adjectives had not been fully explored. In an effort to tease apart these alternatives, we tested comprehension of object-control adjectives in second grade good and poor readers, using both an act-out task and a sentence-picture matching task. Contrary to Byrne's (1981) results, we did not find significant group differences in interpreting object-control adjectives with either task. Reasons for the discrepancy are suggested, and remedies for the pitfalls in designing experiments to assess syntactic knowledge in young children are proposed.

Enhanced drug partitioning in hydrogels can be achieved by configurational biomimetic imprinting (CBIP) techniques which involve the formation of pre-polymerization complexes between template molecules and functional monomers with specific chemical structures designed to interact with the template via non-covalent chemistry. This new class of recognitive intelligent materials is designed by incorporating motifs with structural and molecular homology to biological receptors and has a strong potential to impact the administration of a number of ocular therapies.
This work addresses the unmet need for the controlled release of histamine antagonists such as ketotifen fumarate on the surface of the eye to treat allergic conjunctivitis. Mast cell and eosinophil degranulation occurs due to the IL-4 driven TH2 cell response to allergens and the subsequent IgE secretion. This prompts the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, which binds to the H1-receptors. Pharmacological downregulation is possible by the local delivery of H1-antihistamines, resulting in decreased vascular permeability, bronchodilation, and exudation of effector cells.
Treatment options for seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis primarily consist of oral antihistamines (which provide only partial and delayed relief with potential systemic side effects) and topical treatments. Since ocular bioavailability of topical drugs is very poor (typically less than 7% is absorbed by the eye), a high dosage is needed which prohibits contact lens use. Controlling and tailoring the release of anti-histamines via novel recognitive contact lenses with significantly enhanced partitioning can solve these problems with increased bioavailability, less irritation to ocular tissue, and reduced ocular and systemic side effects. Controlled release by conventional soft contact lenses typically does not work due to a lack of sufficient drug loading.
Inspired by Nature, we have successfully synthesized and characterized recognitive networks for H1 antihistamines by choosing monomers on the basis of the non-covalent interactions found in histamine docking sites. This leads to significantly enhanced drug loading and tailorable controlled release of a therapeutically viable dosage of drug.

Background
The study of high-risk groups and the development of schizophrenia.
AimsTo investigate further schizotypy, measured by the Structured Interview for Schizotypy (SIS), and to examine relationships between schizotypal components, psychotic symptoms on the Present State Examination (PSE) and subsequent schizophrenia.
MethodThe SIS and PSE were administered on entry. Schizophrenia onsets were recorded during follow-up.
ResultsThe SIS yielded four principal components labelled social withdrawal, psychotic symptoms, socio-emotional dysfunction and odd behaviour. On entry, these differentiated between controls, subjects at risk for schizophrenia with and without symptoms and patients with schizophrenia. Seven of 78 subjects at risk developed schizophrenia within 39 months. This was best predicted by combining the four SIS components.
ConclusionsSchizotypy is heterogeneous and may become psychosis, particularly if several of its components are present. As psychosis develops, odd behaviour gives way to psychotic symptoms and social function deteriorates.

Over a four year period, gonad index, examination of gonad tubules, and histology were used to study the reproduction in the sea cucumber Actinopyga mauritiana. This species reproduced annually during the warmer months of the year in Solomon Islands. This annual reproductive cycle progressed through five maturity stages: recovery, growing, mature, partly-spawned and spent. The recovery stage (March–May) was marked by initiation of gametogenesis and coincided with decreasing day length. The growing stage (June–September) was characterized by development of gametes through to the mature stage (October–December). Spawning occurred October through December and coincided with increased water temperature and day length. Spent gonads (January–March) contained a few unspawned gametes or completely lacked gametes. Although A. mauritiana had annual reproduction, individuals lacking or having indeterminate gonads were present year-round. Macroscopic examination of gonad tubules after biopsy provides a practical tool for assessing maturity condition of broodstock in the field during the reproductive season.

Background
Neurological ‘soft signs’ and minor physical anomalies (MPAs) are reported to be more frequent in patients with schizophrenia than in controls.
AimsTo determine whether these disturbances are genetically mediated, and whether they are central to the genesis of symptoms or epiphenomena.
MethodWe obtained ratings in 152 individuals who were antipsychotic drug-free and at high risk, some of whom had experienced psychotic symptoms, as well as 30 first-episode patients and 35 healthy subjects.
ResultsMPAs and Neurological Evaluation Scale (NES) ‘sensory integration abnormalities’ were more frequent in high-risk subjects than in healthy controls, but there were no reliable differences between high-risk subjects with and without psychotic symptoms. MPAs were most frequent in high-risk subjects with least genetic liability and NES scores showed no genetic associations.
ConclusionsThe lack of associations with psychotic symptoms and genetic liability to schizophrenia suggests that soft signs and physical anomalies are non-specific markers of developmental deviance that are not mediated by the gene(s) for schizophrenia.

Summary
Chirality, or handedness, is a pervasive element in our perception of the universe. From the obvious differentiation of left- and right-handed gloves to the hardwon understanding of different physiological effects resulting from mirror-image molecular stereoisomers, chirality significantly influences human life. It is interesting to consider that there is often an apparent difference in the chirality of a gross structure versus the building blocks from which it is composed. Take people as examples. We exhibit bilateral symmetry in the whole, having a mirror plane which can generate our left side from our right (or vice versa). Thus, we have a left half and a right half which cancel each other, leaving each person achiral. However, on the molecular level, enzymes, which control the chemical reactions leading to body construction and function, are composed of only the levorotary stereoisomers of the amino acids. This chapter deals with the similar relationship between the chirality of molecules and the nature of the forms they attain in the solid (crystalline) state, particularly as it relates to organic compounds utilized as drugs.
Stereoisomerism
The development of the theory of molecular stereoisomerism arose from observations of the chirality of observable structures. A series of important discoveries in France were critical to this process. Hemihydrism, the existence of nonsuper-imposable crystal forms, was noticed in quartz crystals by the mineralogist Haüy in 1801 (Fig. 6.1) (Haüy 1801). Shortly thereafter (1809) plane-polarized light was discovered by Malus, a physicist.

Summary
Prevalence
It is difficult to estimate the frequency with which etiologies other than AD and cerebrovascular disease (vascular dementia) cause the dementia syndrome. There are problems in the uncritical acceptance of frequency estimates based on autopsy series (Byrne, Smith & Arie, 1991) as such samples are usually highly selected, and pathological diagnosis, until recently, has been less than reliable. Other factors such as the medical specialty from which the autopsy sample was derived have been shown to influence the frequency with which different etiologic causes for the dementia syndrome occur (Jellinger et al., 1990). AD is more common in autopsy samples referred by psychiatrists, whereas Parkinson's disease is most frequently found in samples referred by geriatricians and physicians. Galasko et al. (1994), found that 12% of their sample of (predominantly) community residents with dementia who came to autopsy had non-AD, nonvascular dementia.
Epidemiological studies of dementia rarely consider differential diagnosis and those that do are largely limited to AD and vascular dementia (Hofman et al., 1990). We do know the prevalence of some of the individual conditions that cause dementia and in some instances have information on how frequently this occurs. For example, the prevalence of Parkinson's disease is 2% of the population aged over 70 years (Schoenburg, 1987) and dementia arises in around 15–20% of these patients (Brown & Marsden, 1984; Mayeux et al., 1988). Lishman (1987) lists 39 non-AD, nonvascular causes of dementia and McKeith (1994) lists 42 other dementias.
