Crawford MA, Wang Y, Forsyth S, et al., 2013, New European Food Safety Authority recommendation for infant formulae contradicts the physiology of human milk and infant development., Nutr Health, Vol: 22, Pages: 81-87, ISSN: 0260-1060
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded from a limited review of the literature that although docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was required for infant formula, arachidonic acid was not 'even in the presence of DHA'. The EFSA report mistakes a nutrient ubiquitous in the diets of infants, and with wide-ranging effects, for an optional drug targeted to a particular outcome that is properly excluded when no benefit is found for that particular outcome. The EFSA's conclusion is not evidence-based. Its conclusions are grounded in trials which tested functionality of DHA, not arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid has very different biological functions, for instance, in the vasculature and in specific aspects of immunity. None of the trials cited tested any property specific to arachidonic acid. The test of time through natural selection and human evolution has resulted in milk composition in which arachidonic acid and its long-chain polyenoic family members are conserved and occupy a prominent position. As DHA suppresses arachidonic acid, an infant formula with DHA and no arachidonic acid runs the risk of cardio- and cerebrovascular morbidity through suppression of the favourable eicosanoid derivatives of arachidonic acid and cell structural integrity. The EFSA recommendation should be rejected forthwith as unsafe and risking lifelong disability.

Woodward M, 2013, Epidemiology: Study design and data analysis, third edition, ISBN: 9781439839706
Highly praised for its broad, practical coverage, the second edition of this popular text incorporated the major statistical models and issues relevant to epidemiological studies. Epidemiology: Study Design and Data Analysis, Third Edition continues to focus on the quantitative aspects of epidemiological research. Updated and expanded, this edition shows students how statistical principles and techniques can help solve epidemiological problems. New to the Third Edition • New chapter on risk scores and clinical decision rules • New chapter on computer-intensive methods, including the bootstrap, permutation tests, and missing value imputation • New sections on binomial regression models, competing risk, information criteria, propensity scoring, and splines • Many more exercises and examples using both Stata and SAS • More than 60 new figures After introducing study design and reviewing all the standard methods, this self-contained book takes students through analytical methods for both general and specific epidemiological study designs, including cohort, case-control, and intervention studies. In addition to classical methods, it now covers modern methods that exploit the enormous power of contemporary computers. The book also addresses the problem of determining the appropriate size for a study, discusses statistical modeling in epidemiology, covers methods for comparing and summarizing the evidence from several studies, and explains how to use statistical models in risk forecasting and assessing new biomarkers. The author illustrates the techniques with numerous real-world examples and interprets results in a practical way. He also includes an extensive list of references for further reading along with exercises to reinforce understanding. Web Resource • A wealth of supporting material can be downloaded from the book's CRC Press web page, including: • Real-life data sets used in the text • SAS and Stata programs used for examp

Crawford MA, 2013, Diet and cancer and heart disease., Nutr Health, Vol: 22, Pages: 67-78, ISSN: 0260-1060
The modern Western diet bears little resemblance to the diet which forged the human genome over many million years. The change in basic food structure is operating to distort biology even before conception and into late years, with the epidemic of obesity and diabetes likely to lead to stroke, heart disease, and now dementia, being flagged as a consequence. In addition, mental ill health is overtaking all other burdens of ill health, and almost certainly has its roots in early disturbance of brain development. Whilst lifestyle will be playing its part, there can be little doubt that the common denominator is the aberrations in food development, predominantly in the last century. It seems it is time to reassess food policy. The principle of food production should be nutrition and human health. The globalisation of a food structure linked to such disorders and their appearance globally in response asks that steps be taken to protect other countries from making the same mistakes.

Gilburt H, Burns T, Copello A, et al., 2012, Assertive Community Treatment for alcohol dependence (ACTAD): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial, Trials, Vol: 13, ISSN: 1745-6215
BackgroundAlcohol dependence is a significant and costly problem in the UK yet only 6% of people a year receive treatment. Current service provision based on the treatment of acute episodes of illness and emphasising personal choice and motivation results in a small proportion of these patients engaging with alcohol treatment. There is a need for interventions targeted at the population of alcohol dependent patients who are hard to engage in conventional treatment. Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), a model of care based on assertive outreach, has been used for treating patients with severe mental illnesses and presents a promising avenue for engaging patients with primary alcohol dependence. So far there has been little research on this.Methods/DesignIn this single blind exploratory randomised controlled trial, a total of 90 alcohol dependent participants will be recruited from community addiction services. After completing a baseline assessment, they will be assigned to one of two conditions: (1) ACT plus care as usual, or (2) care as usual. Those allocated to the ACT plus care as usual will receive the same treatment that is routinely provided by services, plus a trained key worker who will provide ACT. ACT comprises intensive and assertive contact at least once a week, over 50% of contacts in the participant's home or local community, and comprehensive case management across social and health care, for a period of one year. All participants will be followed up at 6 months and 12 months to assess outcome post randomisation. The primary outcome measures will be alcohol consumption: mean drinks per drinking day and percentage of days abstinent measured by the Time Line Follow Back interview. Secondary outcome measures will include severity of alcohol dependence, alcohol related problems, motivation to change, social network involvement, quality of life, therapeutic relationship and service use. Other outcome variables are treatment engagement including completion

Patterson S, Crawford MJ, Ainsworth E, et al., 2011, Art therapy for people diagnosed with schizophrenia: Therapists' views about what changes, how and for whom, International Journal of Art Therapy: Inscape, Vol: 16, Pages: 70-80, ISSN: 1745-4832
National guidance recommends that clinicians consider the offer of arts therapies including art therapy to people diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, because schizophrenia is a heterogeneous condition and this recommendation is based on population-level evidence, it may be difficult to meaningfully apply locally. Whilst art therapy is inextricably linked with 'psychosis' and receives clinical support, those charged with implementing guidance, developing and delivering services need to know more about art therapy, specifically what changes, how and for whom. We used grounded theory methods to address these questions from the perspective of art therapists. The data demonstrate richness and diversity in practice and therapists' abiding belief in its inherent value; art therapy is 'good' for those who engage. We present therapists' understandings of schizophrenia, conceptualise therapy as occurring in the complex interaction of use of art materials, space, therapist and participant and propose mechanisms of action, understood as both unique and universal and potential 'outcomes'. Whilst therapists' dedication to their practice is apparent and the potential benefits of its non-medical system status cannot be ignored it seems that integration of art therapy within the spectrum of care necessary to effectively support people diagnosed with schizophrenia will require clear articulation of theory and practice. © 2011 Copyright British Association of Art Therapists.
