Objective:
Little is known about the effectiveness of advance care planning in the United Kingdom, although policy documents recommend that it should be available to all those with life-limiting illness.
Method:An exploratory patient preference randomized controlled trial of advance care planning discussions with an independent mediator (maximum three sessions) was conducted in London outpatient oncology clinics and a nearby hospice. Seventy-seven patients (mean age 62 years, 39 male) with various forms of recurrent progressive cancer participated, and 68 (88%) completed follow-up at 8 weeks. Patients completed visual analogue scales assessing perceived ability to discuss end-of-life planning with healthcare professionals or family and friends (primary outcome), happiness with the level of communication, and satisfaction with care, as well as a standardized measure of anxiety and depression.
Results:Thirty-eight patients (51%) showed preference for the intervention. Discussions with professionals or family and friends about the future increased in the intervention arms, whether randomized or preference, but happiness with communication was unchanged or worse, and satisfaction with services decreased. Trial participation did not cause significant anxiety or depression and attrition was low.
Significance of results:A randomized trial of advance care planning is possible. This study provides new evidence on its acceptability and effectiveness for patients with advanced cancer.

Objective:
Advance care planning (ACP) provides patients with an opportunity to consider, discuss, and plan their future care with health professionals. Numerous policy documents recommend that ACP should be available to all with life-limiting illness.
Method:Forty patients with recurrent progressive cancer completed one or more ACP discussions with a trained planning mediator using a standardized topic guide. Fifty-two interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed for qualitative thematic content.
Results:Most patients had not spoken extensively to health professionals or close persons about the future. Their concerns related to experiencing distressing symptoms or worrying how family members would cope. Some patients wished for more accurate information and were unaware of their options for care. Many felt it was doctors' responsibility to initiate such discussions, but perceived that their doctors were reluctant to do so. However, some patients felt that the time was not yet right for these conversations.
Significance of results:This article reports on the recorded content of ACP discussions. The extent to which patients want to engage in ACP is variable, and support and training are needed for health professionals to initiate such discussions. Our findings do not fully support the current United Kingdom policy of introducing ACP early in life-threatening disease.

Summary
Introduction
Obstructive sleep apnoea is usually referred to as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea/Hypopnoea Syndrome (OSAHS) as it provides a more accurate description of the condition. OSAHS is caused by blockage of the airway, typically when the soft tissue at the back of the throat collapses during sleep due to lack of muscle tone, predominantly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. OSAHS is common and is one extreme of a continuum of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) (Young et al., 1993) that ranges from normality with few obstructive events, to a life-threatening condition, which may present with cardiovascular, respiratory, or sleep related symptoms (Shneerson, 2000). OSAHS differs from central sleep apnoea, which is caused by problems with brain mechanisms that control breathing and can be found in patients with cardiac failure or neurological disease, particularly stroke (Douglas, 2002) (see ‘Stroke’).
The currently accepted definition of OSAHS is the co-existence of at least five obstructive breathing events per hour of sleep with unexplained excessive daytime sleepiness or at least two other major symptoms (American Sleep Disorders Association, 1999). Apnoeas are characterized by repeated nocturnal episodes of cessation of airflow and hypopnoeas as a 50% reduction in airflow, with both lasting for at least ten seconds (Schneerson, 2000). These obstructed breathing events are terminated by arousals from sleep and are sometimes associated with temporary dips in oxygen saturation (Engleman & Joffe, 1999).

Background
The impact of anxiety disorders has not been well delineated in prospective studies of bipolar disorder.
AimsTo examine the association between anxiety and course of bipolar disorder, as defined by mood episodes, quality of life and role functioning.
MethodA thousand out-patients with bipolar disorder were followed prospectively for 1 year.
ResultsA current comorbid anxiety disorder (present in 31.9% of participants) was associated with fewer days well, a lower likelihood of timely recovery from depression, risk of earlier relapse, lower quality of life and diminished role function over 1 year of prospective study. The negative impact was greater with multiple anxiety disorders.
ConclusionsAnxiety disorders, including those present during relative euthymia, predicted a poorer bipolar course. The detrimental effects of anxiety were not simply a feature of mood state. Treatment studies targeting anxiety disorders will help to clarify the nature of the impact of anxiety on bipolar course.

Background
The ICD – 10 and DSM – IV diagnostic criteria for hyperkinetic disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) require symptoms or impairment in two or more settings. Thus, information on children's symptoms in school is usually required. This paper presents the Child ADHD Teacher Telephone Interview (CHATTI), an instrument aimed at systematically obtaining this information.
AimsTo examine the stability, test–retest reliability and criterion validity of the CHATTI for children referred with a suspected diagnosis of ADHD.
MethodData were obtained from 79 teachers, of whom 36 were interviewed on two occasions.
ResultsOverall, the CHATTI shows good stability test–retest reliability and criterion validity for symptom scores. Test–retest reliability for some individual items was low. Reliability for the operationalised criteria of ‘pervasiveness' (i.e. symptoms at school and home) and ‘school impairment’ was excellent (κ=1).
ConclusionsThe CHATTI appears to be a promising tool for assessing ADHD symptoms in a school setting and could be useful in clinical as well as research settings.

Background
Hyperkinetic disorder or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an important clinical condition.
AimsThe research evidence for a genetic contribution to ADHD is reviewed.
MethodMeasurement of the phenotype, the extent to which attention deficit and hyperactivity are heritable and molecular genetic findings are discussed. Future research directions are also considered.
ResultsADHD is a familial disorder. Available adoption evidence suggests genetic influences are important. Twin studies have primarily focused on trait measures which have consistently been found to be highly heritable. Molecular genetic studies of clinical disorder so far have suggested the involvement of the dopamine DRD-4 receptor gene and dopamine transporter gene (DATI). However, these findings await further replication.
ConclusionsAdvances in psychiatric genetics and current research interest in the genetics of ADHD should improve our understanding of aetiological factors and have an impact on treatment.

Background
This paper reviews research on the psychological treatment of depression in children.
MethodManual and computer literature searches were performed.
ResultsThe most promising psychological interventions for depression in children are individual rather than family therapies. Cognitive – behavioural therapy seems to be an effective treatment for depressive symptoms and mild depressive disorders. It may also be a useful preventive intervention, though this remains to be conclusively demonstrated. There have been no systematic studies comparing psychological treatments with medication.
ConclusionsStudies comparing psychological treatments and medication are now required.

Measurements of cosmogenic nuclides made in situ in the Earth's surface are being used to help resolve a wide range of geologic and chronologic questions. Cosmogenic nuclides (3He, 10Be, 14C, 21Ne, 26Al 36C1 are presently used) can reveal rock exposure history information leading to estimates of timing of surface forming events, rates and styles of erosion, and timing and durations of episodes of burial. Depending on the problems being tackled, a significant source of error (±10–25%) for any cosmogenic nuclide method is the present uncertainty in the spatial and temporal variability of the rates of production of these in-situ nuclides.
