A new study led by our Long-Term Conditions Research Group has found that psychosocial and exercise interventions contribute to improving the lives of patients with lupus. Read the article in the thread below. #Lupus #Fatigue #MentalHealth #Pilates #PatientSupport 1/2 🧵

Dr Melanie Sloan, Lead researcher of the ADAPT Feasibility Study and
Head of the Long-Term Conditions Research Group said: "“The impact of these
diseases on lives is huge,
and people need much more
support than they are currently getting. We hope to co-design and trial more interventions in order to help people adapt to these life-changing diseases.”

A living Cochrane review on interventions for vaping cessation coming soon! No conclusive results but some areas showing promise. Lots of ongoing research in this area, so the evidence will evolve rapidly. Looking forward to seeing the results of this one in detail.

Prof Alan Boobis mythbusting on the harms of e-cigarettes. There is no evidence of a link between vaping and popcorn lung. The chemical that causes popcorn lung (diacetyl) has been banned from use in e-cigs since 2016. There have been no cases linked to vaping. #EcigSummit

Prof Jamie Brown outlines potential reasons for the discrepancy between estimates of smoking prevalence in the APS and Smoking Toolkit Study. Changes in APS question wording may mean it’s missing a chunk of non-daily smoking - which has become more common. #EcigSummit @jamiebrown.bsky.social

Dr Katie East outlines why we should care about misperceptions of the harms of vaping vs smoking. Adults with inaccurate perceptions are less likely to quit smoking and more likely to relapse. Perceptions don’t seem to be affecting patterns of youth vaping… #EcigSummit @katieeast.bsky.social

It is possible to counteract incorrect harm perceptions using evidence based academic social media posts!

In our new #OpenAccess paper we look into the process of integrating #VirtualWards within the NHS in England as a new way of delivering care to patients who would otherwise be hospitalized from the perspective of ICS commissioners. www.jmir.org/2024/1/e56494/ @nihr-pru-bass.bsky.social

New paper finds 1 in 8 adults (~7 million) in Great Britain in 2023 were finding it difficult to manage financially and 1 in 15 (~3.5m) had been in rent/mortgage arrears in the past year. Odds of psychological distress were much higher among these groups. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
