TL;DR: Why older people are reluctant to participate in leisure time physical activity is investigated and strategies to encourage increased activity are identified to relieve physical symptoms and address fears about perceived ability to undertake physical activity are addressed.

TL;DR: To identify a range of attitudes and beliefs which influence the timing of introduction to solid food, five focus group discussions were undertaken within a maternity hospital setting, and provide a foundation for further research which can identify the relative importance of these factors.

TL;DR: The early introduction of solids was found to be associated with: the opinions of the infant's maternal grandmother; living in a deprived area; personal disagreement with the advice to wait until the baby was 4 months; lack of encouragement from friends to wait; being in receipt of free samples of manufactured food.

TL;DR: No significant beneficial effect was found on breast-feeding duration of the verbal- only advice on positioning and attachment, perhaps because aspects of the intervention are already within routine UK practice.

TL;DR: There were high and fluctuating levels of perioperative anxiety in the thoracic patient group, but no evidence that this was reduced by the absorption and inhalation of essential oils.
