Efficacy of Rizatriptan for Menstrual Migraine in an Early Intervention Model: A Prospective Subgroup Analysis of the Rizatriptan TAME (Treat A Migraine Early) Studies

IntroductionThe research about the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment of first-episode psychosis had significantly increased in last decades. There have been several early intervention programs in psychotic disease, implemented worldwide, in order to improve the prognosis of these psychotic patients.ObjectivesTo present a brief description of the first-episode psychosis intervention team of Tondela-Viseu Hospital Centre–Portugal and its model. We aim to further characterize our population and describe its evolution since 2008.AimsWe aim to clarify the benefits of an early intervention in psychosis.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients being followed by our team from November 2008 to September 2016. Demographic and medical data were collected (such as diagnosis, duration of untreated psychosis, treatments and its clinical effectiveness, relapse rate and hospital admissions) in patient's clinical records. The intervention model protocol of this team was also described and analyzed.ResultsThis multidisciplinary team consists of three psychiatrists, one child Psychiatrist, one psychologist and five reference therapists (areas of nursing, social service and occupational therapy). It includes patients diagnosed with first-episode psychosis, aged 16 to 42 years old, followed for five years. The team followed, since its foundation, 123 patients, mostly male. The most prevalent diagnosis are schizophrenia and schizophreniform psychosis. The team is currently following 51 patients.ConclusionsThis team's intervention have progressively assumed a more relevant importance in the prognosis of patients with first-episode psychosis, by reducing the duration of untreated psychosis, the relapse rate and by promoting social reintegration.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Advance fee fraud (AFF) involves an offender using deceit to obtain a financial gain from the victim. The victim believes that by forwarding a sum of money, there will be a future ‘pay-off’. The most commonly witnessed forms of AFF perpetrated via the Internet include classic ‘Nigerian’ or ‘419’ scams, investment fraud and romance fraud. Because of the largely transnational nature of AFF offending, where the victim and offender typically reside in different parts of the world, police are adapting their traditional and reactive approaches to more innovative strategies to combat this crime more effectively. This article utilises a qualitative, semi-structured interview design to explore the experiences of police detectives involved in the implementation of an early intervention model with victims of AFF. The study highlights the challenges involved in developing effective police strategies to proactively reduce the duration and severity of this type of financial victimisation.

Model Fidelity

Implementation science has been developed to help understand why evidence-based practices are not adopted as rapidly as they might. We describe here the process a rehabilitation center in Paraguay is undergoing to transform itself into a state-of-the-art early intervention program. We describe the organization and its contextual strengths and barriers, the model it chose to implement, and the implementation procedures it has attempted. The implications for model fidelity are highlighted, as this organization needed to make adaptations to the model as designed, to fit the particular context of its mission and the Paraguayan culture. Features of the Routines-Based Model are described.***Rumo à implementação de um modelo de intervenção precoce por uma Organização Paraguaia***A ciência da implementação foi desenvolvida para ajudar a entender as razões que levam a que as práticas baseadas na evidência não sejam adotadas pelos profissionais tão rapidamente quanto deveriam ser. Descrevemos aqui o processo de transformação que um centro de reabilitação no Paraguai está a passar se tornar num programa de intervenção precoce de última geração. Descrevemos a sua organização, os seus pontos fortes e as barreiras contextuais, o modelo que escolheu implementar e os procedimentos de implementação que utilizou. As implicações para a fidelidade do modelo são destacadas, pois a organização necessitava fazer adaptações ao modelo conforme previsto, para se ajustar ao contexto específico da sua missão e da cultura paraguaia. São descritas as características do modelo baseado nas rotinas.Palavras-chave: Ciência da implementação, centrado na família, baseada nasrotinas, funcional.

e14005 Background: Translation of research derived technology into busy clinical practice can be difficult. The effectiveness of technology translation can be assessed by applying the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) evaluation framework. Methods: The RE-AIM evaluation framework was applied to the use of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) in the prospective surveillance and early intervention model of care for breast cancer survivors at risk of arm lymphedema. Data was obtained during an interim analysis from four hospital sites (public and private settings) in Australia who were participating in the PREVENT international study. Women with breast cancer were monitored for lymphedema from a pre-treatment baseline and at regular intervals for a minimum of 12-months. Results: Each of the RE-AIM framework components were evaluated at patient, practitioner and institutional levels. Patients in both public (n = 50) and private settings (n = 61) were Reached with BIS technology which demonstrated Effectiveness of early surveillance with 16 participants being identified for an early prevention intervention. Each of the four sites Adopted the use of BIS technology using various Implemented strategies like education of all stakeholders and development of referral and care pathways. Adherence rates for mandatory study visits was 88. 48% for the prospective surveillance and the early intervention model of care group and were Maintained for a minimum 12 months following completion of the recruitment phase of the study. Conclusions: The effectiveness of using a technology such as BIS in a prospective surveillance and early intervention model of care in breast cancer in both public and private settings has been demonstrated using the RE-AIM framework. The translation of research into clinical practice has been successfully achieved with the PREVENT study. Clinical trial information: NCT02167659.
