In Wales, councils are responsible for funding and overseeing schools.
But in England, Mr Osborne's plan will mean local authorities will cease to have a role in providing education.
Academies are directly funded by central government and head teachers have more freedom over admissions and to change the way the school works.
It is a significant development in the continued divergence of schools systems on either side of Offa's Dyke.
And although the Welsh Government will get extra cash to match the money for English schools to extend the school day, it can spend it on any devolved policy area.
Ministers have no plans to follow suit.
At the moment, governing bodies are responsible for setting school hours and they need ministerial permission to make significant changes.
There are already more than 2,000 secondary academies in England and its extension to all state schools is unlikely to shake the Welsh Government's attachment to what they call a "community, comprehensive model" for schools.
It rejects claims that freedom given to academies can help drive up standards, and it points to academy-free Scotland as the best performing school system in the UK.
Education Minister Huw Lewis said there was "very little evidence to suggest" academies have a positive impact in driving up standards and Wales would not be following the model.
"The Tories have wasted hundreds of millions of pounds on academies and free schools and as the Chancellor finalises his budget plans to slash vital services even further, he is committing them to wasting even more on a failing endeavour.
"We have no plans to introduce the chaos and waste of academies and free schools here in Wales."
None of the main parties in May's Assembly election - including the Welsh Conservatives - have said they want to introduce academies in Wales.
Owen Hathway, NUT Cymru's policy officer, called the academy plans for England "scandalous.".
"There is no evidence that academies work, no evidence that they raise standards, no evidence that they offer better quality education and no evidence that they are what parents and communities want," he said.
"Certainly a commitment to comprehensive education is something we would want, and indeed expect, all parties to hold firm to in their manifestos for the forthcoming Welsh election."
But the Welsh and English schools systems are still linked by a joint arrangement for teachers' pay and conditions.
Academies are not tied to these pay scales so in effect Wednesday's announcement will take all English schools out of the system and raise questions about the viability of an England and Wales pay and conditions structure.
There is already growing momentum for the devolution of teachers' pay and conditions.
Originally sceptical, the Welsh Labour Government is now broadly in favour.
Some teaching unions remain opposed because of concern that Welsh teachers would end up being paid less than those in England.
Mr Hathway said teachers were concerned it could lead to regional pay.
"At the same time we do of course recognise that the issue of pay is already becoming a grey area due to the negative changes we see taking place in England," he said.
But an even bigger difference between the schools landscape on either side of the border, appears to make separate arrangements for pay increasingly likely in future.

Summary: As Chancellor George Osborne announced all English state schools will become academies, the Welsh Government continues to reject the model here.


Both sides have overlapping claims in the sea, leading to severe tensions.
China has refused to take part in the arbitration and warned that the case will damage bilateral ties.
The latest move comes a day after a Philippine ship evaded Chinese vessels to bring supplies to troops stationed on a disputed shoal.
China claims a U-shaped swathe of the South China Sea - creating multiple overlaps with areas claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan.
The Philippines says that China's claims are illegal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
In January, the Philippines asked the UN's Permanent Court of Arbitration to consider its case. It is thought that the court may not reach a decision before the end of 2015.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said that more than 40 maps and "nearly 4,000 pages" of evidence had been submitted to the tribunal.
"It is about defending what is legitimately ours... it is about guaranteeing freedom of navigation for all nations," he said, adding that it would help "preserve regional peace, security and stability".
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said last week that China would not accept the arbitration, and that the Philippines should "stop going any further down the wrong track so as to avoid further damage to bilateral relations".
China was "committed to managing and resolving relevant issues... through dialogue and consultation," he added.
On Saturday, a Philippine government ship slipped past Chinese coast guard vessels to reach the disputed Second Thomas Shoal, known as Ayungin in Manila and Ren'ai Reef in Beijing.
Philippine troops are stationed on a beached, rusting military ship that analysts say has become a symbol of the country marking its territory.
On 9 March, China prevented two Philippine vessels from reaching the shoal. Philippine officials said the ships carried supplies for the troops on the shoal, but China said the ships carried construction supplies.
Following the incident, Philippine planes air dropped supplies onto the shoal.

Summary: The Philippines has submitted evidence to a UN tribunal hearing its case against China's territorial claims in the South China Sea.


The theme tune of Antiques Roadshow was played as the presenter's coffin was carried out of the church at Mawnan Smith near Falmouth.
Scully joined the BBC as a freelance journalist in 1965 and hosted the BBC's Nationwide before presenting Antiques Roadshow with Arthur Negus from 1981.
The presenter's family described the funeral as "a wonderful occasion".
A lot of people thought he was the Antiques Roadshow and will never get used to anyone else presenting it
Scully hosted the BBC's Nationwide before presenting Antiques Roadshow with Arthur Negus from 1981.
He resigned from the BBC One show in 2000 to join an internet auction company launching an antiques business.
The presenter's eldest son Charles Scully told the BBC his father's success was partly due to his "ability to put people at ease".
He said: "His ability to talk to everybody from a shopkeeper to a president will be sadly missed."
Former Nationwide presenter Sue Lawley remembered Scully as a "great talent" who was "fun-loving" and most proud of his interviews with Margaret Thatcher.

Summary: The funeral has been held for the former Antiques Roadshow TV host Hugh Scully, who died at the age of 72.


Ogilvie, 21, has yet to make a first team appearance for Spurs and spent most of the last two seasons on loan at League Two Stevenage.
The former under-16 and under-17 England international made 18 appearances for the Boro last season.
"I'm looking forward to it and I want to be playing games regularly," Ogilvie told the club website.
"I'm really pleased to secure Connor's signature. He's got pedigree having come through the youth ranks at Tottenham and what is an added bonus for us is that he has experience of playing league football," added Gillingham manager Ady Pennock.

Summary: League One side Gillingham have signed Tottenham Hotspur defender Connor Ogilvie on a six-month loan deal.


A scrappy, scoreless opening 20 minutes was brought to life when Wasps' Jake Cooper-Woolley crashed over, before Christian Wade added a second try.
Luke Wallace bundled over for Quins but Nathan Hughes burst through to give the hosts a 21-5 half-time lead.
Thomas Young added a fourth try for the bonus point before Siale Piutau and Brendan Macken crossed late on.
Dai Young's Wasps have not lost in the league since a 15-9 defeat at Sale on 2 January, a run which has seen them climb to third in the table.
Relive Wasps' victory over Harlequins
Their winning sequence included a 64-23 thumping of leaders Saracens on Valentine's Day, but there was little evidence of the fluent, attacking rugby which Wasps have based their game on in recent weeks in the early stages.
However, once prop Cooper-Woolley scored, confidence began to flow. Slick hands from Charles Piutau put Wade in and Hughes made their first-half dominance count with a third.
Charlie Walker's try for Quins made for a nervy few minutes with the lead cut to 11 points, but another fine passing move and some quick feet from Wade put Young in for the bonus point and Siale Piutau beat three defenders to make sure of the win.
Macken capped another fine afternoon for the hosts as he ran through unopposed to complete the scoring.
Wasps, who last won six league games in a row during their Premiership winning season of 2007-08, now hold a five-point lead over fifth-place Northampton Saints.
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young:
"You have to beat Quins off with a big stick, every time you play them, they are always a threat and they're always going to keep coming back at you.
"We lost a bit of that momentum in the first period of the second half but we give Quins a bit of credit for that.
"I was pleased we held out and I thought that fourth try was really important for us."
Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea:
"I have to say, I thought Wasps were outstanding. Sometimes you lose some games and we're very proud people and don't like being on the end of big loss.
"We lost a lot of collisions, and we won a fair few too, but the ones we lost cost us a heck of a lot more and they have a lot of bullets to fire at you.
"They are in a rich vein of form, but we will dust ourselves down and there was no doubting the work ethic going in from our players there.
"We have to make sure we get ourselves right back into it next week, as there are probably six teams fighting for two spots behind the front two."
Wasps: Miller; Wade, C Piutau, S Piutau, Halai; Gopperth, Robson; Mullan (capt), Festuccia, Cooper-Woolley, Cannon, Myall, Young, Smith, Hughes.
Replacements: Johnson, Bristow, Swainston, Rowlands, Rieder, Stevenson, Jackson, Macken.
Harlequins: R. Chisholm; Yarde, Stanley, Sloan, Walker; Botica, Tebaldi; Lambert, Buchanan, Jones, Merrick, Horwill (capt), J. Chisholm, Wallace, Luamanu.
Replacements: Ward, Evans, Sinckler, Matthews, Robinson, Egerton, Swiel, Hopper.

Summary: Wasps won a sixth straight Premiership game with a bonus-point victory over Harlequins at the Ricoh Arena.


The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said output slumped in the run up to the European Union (EU) referendum.
The fall was almost a complete reversal of April's 2.8% rise in construction activity.
Construction output, which accounts 6% of economic growth, will have to expand by 1.9% in June to avoid dragging on the wider economy, the ONS said.
But the chances of that happening look slim given the the private sector data already released.
Housing construction output fell 3.2% in May after edging down 0.1% in April, the biggest drop since February 2014.
Housing output has now fallen in every month this year apart from February.
"The fall in May 2016, taken together with the strength of April's figures, continues a longer trend of broadly flat output growth since the start of 2015," the ONS said.
On an annual basis construction output fell 1.9% compared with May 2015.
The most recent figures from the ONS showed UK economic growth slowed to 0.4% in the three months to the end of March.
The first estimate of second quarter economic growth is due on 27 July.
Financial firm Markit, which has given an estimate of construction activity in June, said the weakness had continued into last month.
It said the industry suffered its worst contraction in seven years in June as concern grew about the EU referendum.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Markit said the figures showed the construction sector was "hit appreciably by increased caution among clients  as the run-up to the referendum on EU membership magnified UK and global economic uncertainties".
Mr Archer added: "This immediately raises serious concerns as to just how much the construction sector will be hampered by the Brexit vote."

Summary: Construction output fell by 2.1% in May compared with a month earlier, official figures have shown.


EU rejects German call to boycott British lamb .


The European Commission said on Thursday it disagreed with German advice to consumers to shun British lamb until scientists determine whether mad cow disease can be transmitted to sheep .

O B-ORG I-ORG O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O


Germany 's representative to the European Union 's veterinary committee Werner Zwingmann said on Wednesday consumers should buy sheepmeat from countries other than Britain until the scientific advice was clearer .

B-LOC O O O O B-ORG I-ORG O O O B-PER I-PER O O O O O O O O O O O B-LOC O O O O O O O


" We do n't support any such recommendation because we do n't see any grounds for it , " the Commission 's chief spokesman Nikolaus van der Pas told a news briefing .

O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O B-ORG O O O B-PER I-PER I-PER I-PER O O O O O


He said further scientific study was required and if it was found that action was needed it should be taken by the European Union .

O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O B-ORG I-ORG O


He said a proposal last month by EU Farm Commissioner Franz Fischler to ban sheep brains , spleens and spinal cords from the human and animal food chains was a highly specific and precautionary move to protect human health .

O O O O O O O B-ORG O O B-PER I-PER O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O


Fischler proposed EU-wide measures after reports from Britain and France that under laboratory conditions sheep could contract Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy ( BSE ) -- mad cow disease .

B-PER O O O O O O B-LOC O B-LOC O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O


But Fischler agreed to review his proposal after the EU 's standing veterinary committee , mational animal health officials , questioned if such action was justified as there was only a slight risk to human health .

A Porthcawl RNLI crew with a medic and the coastguard search and rescue helicopter were sent to Sker Beach, near Kenfig Nature Reserve, at 12:50 GMT on Sunday.
Crewman Chris Page said the rider had head injuries and was very cold from lying unconscious on wet sand.

The suspected green mamba was found on a ship that had docked in Aberdeen from west Africa last month.
The snake died after it was placed in a freezer by the animal charity after attempts to rehome it with specialist reptile keepers failed.
The snake was later identified as a harmless green tree snake.
Police Scotland said a complaint was under consideration.
Scottish SPCA Ch Supt Mike Flynn said: "We were called out after a green snake arrived in Aberdeen on a boat from Africa.
"The snake was thought to be a green mamba, one of the deadliest snakes in the world. The snake was taken by police escort to our Aberdeenshire animal rescue and rehoming centre.
"Sadly the snake, which staff genuinely believed to be a green mamba, had to be put to sleep after our attempts to rehome it to specialist reptile keepers were unsuccessful."
He added: "We could not keep the snake in our centre due to severe health and safety concerns, as the closest anti-venom is held in Bedford. Green mambas also require a Dangerous Wild Animal Licence which the society does not have.
"The safety of our staff and the public is paramount and as such the snake was placed in a freezer where it passed away.
"The Scottish SPCA is proud of its policy not put healthy animals to sleep. Animals are only put to sleep on veterinary advice if they are too ill or too aggressive to be rehomed, or where we are legally required to do so.
"The decision to euthanise the snake was not taken lightly. Unfortunately, the snake has since been identified as a harmless green tree snake. This has been an honest mistake on the society's part as we genuinely believed this was an extremely deadly snake."
The western green mamba feeds on small animals and rodents and is mainly found in the coastal tropical rainforests of western Africa.
Experts say its bite can be fatal in as little as 30 minutes.

A complaint about the Scottish SPCA putting what was thought to be one of the world's most deadly snakes to sleep is being investigated by police.


The all-rounder has been included in the T20 squad to face Sri Lanka on 5 July at the Ageas Bowl, having been part of the World T20 squad in March.
"It's nice to be involved again," the 26-year-old slow left-armer and right-handed batsman told BBC Radio Solent.
"I wasn't expecting to be as I thought Moeen Ali would, but him being rested hands me another opportunity."
Dawson failed to make an appearance during England's run to the World T20 final in India this year, but his limited-overs performances for Hampshire this season have kept him in contention.
"I'm not sure what team they'll go with," he said.
"I've had some good performances for Hampshire in one-day and T20 cricket and if I keep going with that, hopefully I might get a chance."

Hampshire's Liam Dawson says it would be "amazing" to make his England Twenty20 debut on his home ground.


The Egypt-backed plan had envisaged a regional forum which analysts say might have forced Israel to reveal whether or not it has nuclear weapons.
The proposal was blocked by the US, the UK and Canada. The next review is set for  2020.
Israel neither confirms nor denies it has a stockpile of nuclear weapons.
Speaking after four weeks of negotiations, US Under-Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller accused Egypt and other Arab countries of "not willing to let go of these unrealistic and unworkable conditions" for future talks.
She also said some participants tried to "cynically manipulate" the whole process.
But Egypt warned that the failure to reach a deal "will have consequences in front of the Arab world and public opinion", the Associated Press news agency reports.
Last month, Egypt had proposed to stage a regional conference - with or without Israel's participation and without an agreed agenda.
Some analysts suggested that this move might have forced Israel - which is not a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) - to publicly clarify its position on nuclear weapons.
Decisions at NPT review conferences - held every five years - are made by consensus.
The failure of the current talks means the next gathering could only be held in 2020 at the earliest.

A UN conference aimed at preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons has ended in failure after a row over a nuclear-free Middle East proposal.


Mothers-to-be are more likely to get malaria as their immunity is lowered, says the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).
Malaria carries serious risks for mother and baby including miscarriage, stillbirth and premature labour.
The tropical disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes a fever, flu-like symptoms, vomiting and diarrhoea.
There have been no malaria-related deaths in pregnant or recently pregnant women in the UK in the past decade but the RCOG says it has been receiving inquires from worried women.
In the UK, about 1,500 cases of malaria are reported each year and about 10 people will die, said the RCOG.
It says all non-essential trips to areas with a high risk of malaria should be avoided.
Risk areas include large areas of Africa, Asia including China and India, Central and South America, parts of the Middle East and some Pacific Islands.
If the trip is unavoidable, the college advises women to seek advice from a centre with expertise in malaria which will provide information on ways to reduce the risk of infection.
Women should make sure they are aware of the risk, take out measures such as mosquito nets for bite prevention and take anti-malarial medication.
Philippa Marsden, who chairs the RCOG's patient information committee, said although the risks were still relatively small it was important that women were well-informed.
Cath Broderick of the RCOG women's network said: "If women are worried about symptoms after returning from a high-risk country and think they may have malaria, they should see a doctor immediately and inform them of their recent travels."
Symptoms can take a week or more to develop after being bitten.

Pregnant women should visit countries with a risk of malaria only if their trip is essential, experts are warning.


Researchers at the University of Sheffield said the tumours were effectively "fertilising" the bone to help themselves grow.
The study, in the journal Nature, said it may be possible to protect bone from a tumour's nefarious influence and consequently stop the cancer's spread.
Cancer charities said this opened up "a whole new avenue for research".
Around 85% of breast cancers that spread around the body end up in bone, at which point the cancer is difficult to treat and more deadly.
The scientists, in Sheffield and the University of Copenhagen, discovered patients with secondary cancers had higher levels of an enzyme called LOX being produced by their tumours and released into the blood.
Bone is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. But in a series of experiments on mice, the research team showed LOX was disrupting the process and leaving lesions and holes in the bone.
Using drugs to block LOX prevented the cancer from spreading.
Dr Alison Gartland, a reader in bone and cancer biology at the university, told the BBC News website: "We think it's a significant breakthrough in trying to prevent metastases (secondary tumours) in breast cancer.
"The cancer cells in the primary tumour are actually fertilising the soil for the future growth of itself, LOX is changing the environment in bone to make it better to grow."
The animal tests also showed that a set of osteoporosis drugs called bisphosphonates could prevent the spread of cancer.
Bisphosphonates also interfere with the way bone is recycled in order to strengthen it.
They are already given to some cancer patients, but the Sheffield team believe they could have a much larger role.
The effect was discovered only in oestrogen-negative breast cancers. They account for around a third of cases, but are far more deadly.
Katherine Woods, from Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "By unveiling the role that the protein LOX is playing, these results open up a whole new avenue for research and treatments that could stop breast cancer spreading to the bone.
"The research also adds weight to the growing body of evidence supporting the role of bisphosphonates in stopping secondary breast cancer in its tracks.
"The reality of living with secondary breast cancer in the bone is a stark one, which leaves many women with bone pain and fractures that need extensive surgery just when they need to be making the most of the time they have left with friends and family."
The findings may also apply in colon cancer.

Breast cancers can manipulate the structure of bone to make it easier to spread there, a study has found.

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet took the time to pose for pictures with pilots in an aeroplane cockpit as he returned to England after serving on international duty with Belgium in Euro 2016 qualifiers against Cyprus and Israel. Although Mignolet was included in Marc Wilmots' match-day squads for both games, he was denied the chance to add to his 14 international caps in either, with Chelsea stopper Thibaut Courtois preferred instead. Mignolet posted the pictures of himself in the cockpit on his official Facebook account on Wednesday. Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet (centre) poses with pilots as he returns home from international duty . Mignolet had been with the Belgium squad for their Euro 2016 qualifying games against Cyprus and Israel . Mignolet shares the view from the cockpit window as he returns to England in time to face Arsenal . The 27-year-old is back in England ahead of Liverpool's crucial Premier League game with top-four rivals Arsenal at the Emirates  on Saturday. Mignolet, who recovered from some shaky form at the start of the season, has become a key player in the Reds' renaissance since the turn of the year. He recently revealed in an interview how he feels his mental strength helped him cope through the rough patch. Speaking about his exile from the first-team early in the campaign, he told FourFourTwo: 'I was positive. Every goalkeeper goes through those stages, and you only get mentally stronger from them. Because we play so many games, I just looked forward to the next match. Mignolet has recovered from an early season dip in form to play a key role in Liverpool's rise up the table . 'I always wanted to keep improving and moving forward. I'm in my second year now at Liverpool and I've learned a lot. 'There's always something to work on. I've just turned 27 but I still pick up things every day. That helps get through difficult moments.'

A British tourist has drowned in a pool in a luxury villa in Spain, just hours after arriving on holiday. Brian Nicol, 32, dived into a swimming pool at a luxury holiday villa in the Costa del Sol, where he was staying with friends, but failed to resurface. His desperate friends dragged Mr Nicol, who was born in Glasgow, out of the water and tried to save him. Brian Nicol, 32 from Glasgow, Scotland, died while staying in a villa in Nueva Andalucia like the one pictured . Police and paramedics arrived shortly after the incident took place around 8.30am on Easter Sunday morning, but Mr Nicol had died. Officers said early evidence suggests his death was a tragic accident, but they will try to establish whether he suffered a blow to the head or a digestion problems which meant he couldn't swim. The group had been on a night out in Marbella after jetting to Spain on Saturday, before returning to the rented villa in Nueva Andalucia to carry on partying around the pool. A post-mortem was due to take place on Monday morning at Malaga's Forensic Medicine Institute. A police spokesman said: 'The incident is still being investigated but all the evidence at this stage is pointing towards the death being the result of a tragic accident.' Mr Nicol is believed to have travelled to Spain with a group of a dozen friends, who rented a villa in the exclusive residential neighbourhood Nueva Andalucia. Mr Nicol is understood to have gone on a night out in Marbella, pictured, in the hours before he died . Sources close to the investigation said they had been told the group had gone out for the evening before returning to the villa to carry on partying around the pool. One said: 'Our understanding is the victim had dived into the pool and swum underwater two or three times during the night without any problem but failed to surface the last time he jumped in. 'Although he appears to have drowned, it's too early at this stage to say why it happened.' Forensic experts are expected to examine whether the dead man suffered a blow to the head or digestion problems which caused stomach cramps and may have led to him drowning. An investigating judge has been put in charge of a routine judicial probe into the incident. A spokesman for paramedics involved in trying to revive Mr Nicol said: 'We received a call at 8.40am on Sunday and found a foreign man lying by the pool when we arrived. Paramedics tried to revive him but could do nothing to save him. 'An investigation into the death is now underway.' The group has only arrived in the Costa del Sol, an area popular with British tourists, for a holiday on Saturday . Nueva Andalucia, the area where the tragedy happened, is a favourite of well-heeled British expats and holidaymakers. It is a short drive from the millionaire playground paradise of Puerto Banus and boasts several high-quality golf courses. Max Clifford owns a luxury apartment near to one of the courses Sean Connery was once a regular at. Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan also owns a holiday home in the upmarket residential area sandwiched between the Mediterranean and Marbella's famous La Concha mountain.

Comparison of a hydrocolloid dressing and silver sulfadiazine cream in the outpatient management of second-degree burns.

A matched-pair, randomized study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Acticoat silver-coated dressing for the treatment of burn wounds.

Abstract: The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to evaluate the use of an occlusive hydrocolloid dressing (Duoderm hydroactive, Squibb) and silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene, Marion) cream in the outpatient management of second-degree burns. The inclusion criteria consisted of burns less than 15% total body surface area that were evaluated within 24 hours of injury and did not require hospital admission. Fifty patients were randomly assigned after having been screened through a list of seven exclusion criteria. On initial evaluation the burns were photographed and screened for causative agent, location, size, depth, tetanus status, and presence of associated burns and injuries. Patients were seen in followup at least biweekly and evaluated for wound bed healing, wound margin healing, pain, number of dressing changes between visits, and ease of dressing application and removal. On final evaluation the burns were photographed and inspected for appearance of the healed burn, repigmentation, wound contraction, approximate time for dressing change, patient compliance, limitation of activity, overall impression of the treatment, and number of days for complete healing. Results were compared using a two-tailed t-test with p less than 0.01. Both groups were statistically similar in age, sex, and size. Duoderm-treated burns had statistically significantly better wound healing, repigmentation, less pain, fewer dressing changes, less time for dressing changes, and less cost. Duoderm-treated patients had statistically significantly less limitation of activity, better patient compliance, greater patient comfort, better overall acceptance, and felt the treatment was more aesthetically pleasing. The results reveal that the Duoderm Hydroactive dressings are superior to Silvadene cream in the outpatient management of second-degree burns.

Abstract: A new silver-coating technology was developed to prevent wound adhesion, limit nosocomial infection, control bacterial growth, and facilitate burn wound care through a silver-coated dressing material. For the purposes of this article, Acticoat (Westaim Biomedical Inc, Fort Saskatchawan, Alberta, Canada) silver-coated dressing was used. After in vitro and in vivo studies, a randomized, prospective clinical study was performed to assess the efficacy and ease of use of Acticoat dressing as compared with the efficacy and ease of our institution's standard burn wound care. Thirty burn patients with symmetric wounds were randomized to be treated with either 0.5% silver nitrate solution or Acticoat silver-coated dressing. The dressing was evaluated on the basis of overall patient comfort, ease of use for the wound care provider, and level of antimicrobial effectiveness. Wound pain was rated by the patient using a visual analog scale during dressing removal, application, and 2 hours after application. Ease of use was rated by the nurse providing wound care. Antimicrobial effectiveness was evaluated by quantitative burn wound biopsies performed before and at the end of treatment. Patients found dressing removal less painful with Acticoat than with silver nitrate, but they found the pain to be comparable during application and 2 hours after application. According to the nurses, there was no statistically significant difference in the ease of use. The frequency of burn wound sepsis (> 10(5) organisms per gram of tissue) was less in Acticoat-treated wounds than in those treated with silver nitrate (5 vs 16). Secondary bacteremias arising from infected burn wounds were also less frequent with Acticoat than with silver nitrate-treated wounds (1 vs 5). Acticoat dressing offers a new form of dressing for the burn wound, but it requires further investigation with greater numbers of patients in a larger number of centers and in different phases of burn wound care.

First aid for phosphorus burns involves the common sense measures of acting promptly to remove the patient's clothes, irrigating the wound(s) with water or saline continuously, and removing phosphorus particles. There is no evidence that using copper sulphate to assist visualisation of phosphorus particles for removal is associated with better outcome, and some evidence that systemic absorption of copper sulphate may be harmful. We have so far been unable to identify any other comparisons relevant to informing other aspects of the care of patients with phosphorus burns. Future versions of this review will take account of information in articles published in languages other than English, which may contain additional evidence based on treatment comparisons.


Trial of long-term anticoagulant therapy in the treatment of small stroke associated with a normal carotid arteriogram.

Anticoagulant vs anti-platelet therapy as prophylactic against cerebral infarction in transient ischemic attacks.

Comparative effects of antiplatelet, anticoagulant, or combined therapy in patients with valvular and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: a randomized multicenter study.

A randomized trial of anticoagulants versus aspirin after cerebral ischemia of presumed arterial origin. The Stroke Prevention in Reversible Ischemia Trial (SPIRIT) Study Group.

Abstract: The clinical features of 49 patients who had sustained small strokes in the internal carotid artery territory, who were normotensive, free from cardiac or other relevant disease, and who each had a normal appropriate single vessel angiogram are presented. These were randomized into two groups: group A, 25 patients, who received only supportive treatment; group B, 24 patients who were treated with anticoagulants for an average period of 18 months. There was a reduced incidence of neurological episodes during the administration of anticoagulant therapy but, after treatment was discontinued, there was no significant difference between the two groups. In view of the relatively benign prognosis for this syndrome, unless special facilities exist for the personal control of anticoagulant treatment, the dangers may outweigh the benefits.

Abstract: 156 patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) or reversible ischemic neurological deficit (RIND) were given prophylactic anticoagulant (AC) treatment against cerebral infarction in a prospective multicenter study from 5 hospitals in southern Sweden. After 2 months of AC treatment, 135 patients remained in the study and were randomized into 2 groups; one continued with AC treatment and one changed to anti-platelet therapy. The patients were followed for 12 months. No significant difference was seen between the 2 groups but 3 completed cerebral infarctions occurred during anti-platelet therapy against one during AC treatment. One cerebral hemorrhage was seen during AC treatment. All completed strokes occurred in men who initially had carotid symptoms. The number of patients with TIA/RIND was somewhat higher in the anti-platelet group whereas myocardial infarctions occurred more often during AC treatment. Compared to the natural history of untreated TIA/RIND both treatments were found to have a prophylactic effect against cerebral infarction.

Abstract:
This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the combination of antiplatelet and moderate-intensity anticoagulation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with recognized risk factors or mitral stenosis.
                Warfarin was more effective than aspirin in preventing stroke in these patients; combined therapy with low anticoagulant intensity was ineffective. Mitral stenosis patients were not investigated.
                We performed a multicenter randomized trial in 1,209 patients at risk. The intermediate-risk group included patients with risk factors or age >60 years: 242 received the cyclooxygenase inhibitor triflusal, 237 received acenocumarol, and 235 received a combination of both. The high-risk group included patients with prior embolism or mitral stenosis: 259 received anticoagulants and 236 received the combined therapy. Median follow-up was 2.76 years. Primary outcome was a composite of vascular death and nonfatal stroke or systemic embolism.
                Primary outcome was lower in the combined therapy than in the anticoagulant arm in both the intermediate- (hazard ratio [HR] 0.33 [95% confidence interval (CI)0.12 to 0.91]; p = 0.02) and the high-risk group (HR 0.51 [95% CI 0.27 to 0.96]; p = 0.03). Primary outcome plus severe bleeding was lower with combined therapy in the intermediate-risk group. Nonvalvular and mitral stenosis patients had similar embolic event rates during anticoagulant therapy.
                The combined antiplatelet plus moderate-intensity anticoagulation therapy significantly decreased the vascular events compared with anticoagulation alone and proved to be safe in atrial fibrillation patients.

Abstract: Aspirin is only modestly effective in the secondary prevention after cerebral ischemia. Studies in other vascular disorders suggest that anticoagulant drugs in patients with cerebral ischemia of presumed arterial (noncardiac) origin might be more effective. The aim of the Stroke Prevention in Reversible Ischemia Trial (SPIRIT) therefore was to compare the efficacy and safety of 30 mg aspirin daily and oral anticoagulation (international normalized ratio [INR] 3.0-4.5). Patients referred to a neurologist in one of 58 collaborating centers because of a transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke (Rankin grade < or =3) were eligible. Randomization was concealed, treatment assignment was open, and assessment of outcome events was masked. The primary measure of outcome was the composite event "death from all vascular causes, nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal major bleeding complication." The trial was stopped at the first interim analysis. A total of 1,316 patients participated; their mean follow-up was 14 months. There was an excess of the primary outcome event in the anticoagulated group (81 of 651) versus 36 of 665 in the aspirin group (hazard ratio, 2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6-3.5). This excess could be attributed to 53 major bleeding complications (27 intracranial; 17 fatal) during anticoagulant therapy versus 6 on aspirin (3 intracranial; 1 fatal). The bleeding incidence increased by a factor of 1.43 (95% CI, 0.96-2.13) for each 0.5 unit increase of the achieved INR. Anticoagulant therapy with an INR range of 3.0 to 4.5 in patients after cerebral ischemia of presumed arterial origin is not safe. The efficacy of a lower intensity anticoagulation regimen remains to be determined.

Compared with control, there was no evidence of benefit from long-term anticoagulant therapy in people with presumed non-cardioembolic ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack, but there was a significant bleeding risk.

Cognitive-behavioural techniques for general psychiatrists in the management of patients with psychoses.

Abstract: We studied the effectiveness of a newly-developed cognitive-behavioral intervention in 15 patients with marked cognitive impairment and behavior disorder. The design was a single-blind test of a neuropsychological intervention, with pre- and post-treatment assessments of personality and social behavior. MS patients underwent neurological examination and neuropsychological testing at baseline. The patients were then randomly assigned to neuropsychological counseling or standard, non-specific supportive psychotherapy. The active 12-week treatment emphasized enhancement of insight through education, social skills training, and behavior modification. All patients were re-examined within 2 weeks of the termination of treatment. Neuropsychological technicians were blind to treatment condition. Both groups showed evidence of cognitive impairment and personality/behavior disorder prior to treatment and were well matched on demographic, disability, and cognitive measures. Patients who underwent neuropsychological counseling showed significant positive response on measures of social behavior (e.g. excessive ego-centric speech) compared to those who underwent standard counseling. We conclude that these data support the use of non-pharmacological, neuropsychological counseling in patients with acquired, MS-associated behavior disorder.

Abstract: Twenty depressed multiple sclerotic patients were randomly allocated either to cognitive-behaviour therapy or to a waiting list control condition. Assessment of depressive symptoms was conducted at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and a four-week follow-up. In comparison to the waiting list condition, cognitive-behaviour therapy was found to result in clinically and statistically significant improvement on most measures. Although the mechanism by which such treatment achieves its effects is unclear, these results clearly support the use of cognitive-behavioural treatments for depression in this population.

Abstract: This study examined the efficacy of an 8-week telephone-administered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of depressive symptomatology in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The treatment, Coping with MS (CMS), included a patient workbook designed to structure the treatment, provide visual aids, and help with homework assignments. Thirty-two patients with MS, who scored at least 15 on the Profile of Mood States Depression-Dejection scale, were randomly assigned to either the telephone CMS or to a usual-care control (UCC) condition. Depressive symptomatology decreased significantly in the CMS condition compared with the UCC condition. Furthermore, adherence to interferon beta-1a, a disease-modifying medication for the treatment of MS, was significantly better at the 4-month follow-up among patients who received CMS as compared with those in the UCC condition.

Abstract: The chronic and progressive nature of multiple sclerosis (MS) often excludes patients from neuropsychological treatment. At the Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation Hospital, Haslev, 40 patients with mild to moderate cognitive and behavioral impairment associated with MS were randomized to either specific cognitive treatment (20 pts) by direct training, compensatory strategies and neuropsychotherapy, or to non-specific, deliberately diffuse mental stimulation (20 pts). Treatment was for a mean of 46 days. The effects of treatment were evaluated by neuropsychological tests before treatment, immediately after treatment (short-term effects) and 6 months later (long-term effects). After short-term treatment, effects on cognitive measures were not convincing, but on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) the specific cognitive treatment group reported significantly less depression. After 6 months only this group showed an effect, since the visuo-spatial memory was improved. However, the depression ratings (BDI) were almost maintained from the short-term level. Interestingly, the non-specific treatment group rated themselves as significantly more depressed. Conclusively, it is worth while to offer specific neuropsychological treatment to MS patients with cognitive and behavioral dysfunction.

Abstract: The relative efficacy of professional and paraprofessional therapists in providing group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mutual support group therapy (MSG) was examined. Depressed outpatients (N = 98) were randomly assigned to CBT or MSG led by either 2 professional or 2 paraprofessional therapists. Results suggest that nonprofessionals were as effective as professionals in reducing depressive symptoms and that clients in the CBT and MSG conditions improved equally. Clinically significant improvement was demonstrated for both conditions. However, following treatment, more patients in the professionally led CBT groups were classified as nondepressed and alleviated than in the paraprofessionally led CBT groups. Additionally, therapist adherence to manual-based treatments was associated with greater improvement in clinician-rated depressive symptoms in both conditions and skills in cognitive restructuring were associated with greater improvement among clients in CBT.

Abstract:
To investigate short-term effects of Multi-Sensory Stimulation (MSS) on behaviour, mood and cognition of older adults with dementia, the generalization of effects to day hospital and home environments and the endurance of any effects over time.
                A randomized controlled trial comparing MSS with a credible control of one-to-one activities.
                Fifty patients with diagnoses of moderate to severe dementia were randomized to either MSS or Activity groups. Patients participated in eight 30-minute sessions over a 4-week period. Ratings of behaviour and mood were taken before, during and after sessions to investigate immediate effects. Pre, mid, post-trial, and follow-up assessments were taken to investigate any generalization of effects on cognition, behaviour at the day hospital and behaviour and mood at home and endurance of effects once sessions had ceased.
                Immediately after MSS and Activity sessions patients talked more spontaneously, related better to others, did more from their own initiative, were less bored/inactive, and were more happy, active or alert. Both groups were more attentive to their environment than before, with a significantly greater improvement from the MSS group. At the day hospital, patients in the Activity group improved on their 'speech skills' (amount of speech; initiation of speech), whereas the MSS group remained unchanged during the trial. The MSS group showed a significant improvement in mood and behaviour at home compared to the Activity group whose behaviour deteriorated. No longer-term benefits were shown; indeed, behaviour declined sharply during the month follow-up period.
                Both MSS and Activity sessions appear to be effective and appropriate therapies for people with dementia.

Abstract: This study compared the efficacy of 3 16-week treatments for depression in 63 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and major depressive disorder (MDD): individual cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), supportive-expressive group therapy (SEG). and the antidepressant sertraline. Significant reductions were seen from pre- to posttreatment in all measures of depression. Intent-to-treat and completers analyses using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; A. T. Beck, C. H. Ward. M. Medelson. J. Mock, & J. Erbaugh, 1961) and MDD diagnosis found that CBT and sertraline were more effective than SEG at reducing depression. These results were largely supported by the BDI-18, which eliminates BDI items confounded with MS. However, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (M. Hamilton, 1960) did not show consistent differences between treatments. Reasons for this inconsistency are discussed. These findings suggest that CBT or sertraline is more likely to be effective in treating MDD in MS compared with supportive group treatments.

Abstract: Despite neuroleptic medication, many schizophrenic patients continue to experience residual positive psychotic symptoms. These residual symptoms cause distress and disability. We report a controlled trial of two cognitive-behavioural treatments to alleviate residual hallucinations and delusions. Forty-nine patients were recruited into the trial, of whom 27 entered the trial and completed post-treatment assessment, and 23 were reassessed at six-month follow-up. Patients were randomly allocated to either coping strategy enhancement (CSE) or problem solving (PS). Half the patients were allocated to a high-expectancy positive demand condition and half to a counter-demand condition to evaluate expectation of improvement. Patients receiving either cognitive-behavioural treatment showed significant reductions in psychotic symptoms compared with those in the waiting period, who showed no improvement. There was some evidence, although equivocal, that patients receiving CSE improved more than those receiving PS. There was no evidence that improvements generalised to negative symptoms or social functioning, nor was there evidence that expectancy of treatment benefit contributed to the treatment effect.

Abstract:
Cognitive problems in multiple sclerosis are common but any possible benefits of treatment remain uncertain. The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of providing a psychology service, including cognitive assessment and intervention, to patients with multiple sclerosis.
                The study was a single blind randomised controlled trial. A total of 240 patients with clinically definite, laboratory supported, or clinically probable multiple sclerosis were recruited from an multiple sclerosis management clinic and assessed on a brief screening battery. They were randomised into three groups. The control group received no further intervention. The assessment group received a detailed cognitive assessment, the result of which was fed back to staff involved in the patients' care. The treatment group received the same detailed cognitive assessment and a treatment programme designed to help reduce the impact of their cognitive problems. Patients were followed up 4 and 8 months later on the general health questionnaire (GHQ-28), extended activities of daily living scale, SF-36, everyday memory questionnaire, dysexecutive syndrome questionnaire, and memory aids questionnaire.
                The three groups were compared on the outcome measures at 4 and 8 months after recruitment. There were few significant differences between the groups and those that occurred favoured the control group. Overall, the results showed no effect of the interventions on mood, quality of life, subjective cognitive impairment or independence.
                The study failed to detect any significant effects of cognitive assessment or cognitive intervention in this cohort of people with multiple sclerosis.

Abstract:
One aim of this project was to investigate the efficacy of a specific training programme for MS patients which also contained compensation strategies and relaxation exercises relevant to everyday life. The other aim was to check the programme's relevance to everyday life.
                19 patients, randomised into two groups, took part in the study. The participants in the treated group completed a specific neurological training programme which began immediately after the basic testing (visit 1) and lasted 4 weeks, with a total of 12 sessions. The monitoring test was done immediately after the training programme (at visit 2) and the follow-up was 3 months later (visit 3). Both study groups were fully comparable as regards clinical and socio-demographic data and baseline intelligence level.
                The results of the cognitive training programme were especially evident in the significant improvements in executive functions (CKV) and spatial-constructional abilities (HAWIE-R). Comparison between the treated and the control group showed no significant difference in the fatigue values (MFIS). However, when the treated group was examined over the three times of measurements, the symptoms of fatigue had diminished significantly. Regarding memory, comparison of the groups showed no changes; within the treated group; however, the verbal (VLT) and nonverbal learning and memory (NVLT) improved significantly. The results for sustained attention improved in both groups over time. It must be assumed that a learning effect had occurred here. The depression values (BDI) also improved in both study groups. The follow-up questionnaire showed that 60% (6) attributed an average to above-average benefit to the training.
                To summarise, it is apparent that MS patients with mild to moderate cognitive impairment are able to profit from even a fairly brief neuropsychological training programme and to integrate much of it into their everyday lives. In view of this, it would seem appropriate to offer such a programme as standard, associated with medication.

Abstract:
Little is known about the medium-term durability of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) in a community sample of people with schizophrenia.
                To investigate whether brief CBT produces clinically important outcomes in relation to recovery, symptom burden and readmission to hospital in people with schizophrenia at 1-year follow-up.
                Participants (336 of 422 randomised at baseline) were followed up at a mean of 388 days (s.d. = 53) by raters masked to treatment allocation (CBT or usual care).
                At 1-year follow-up, participants who received CBT had significantly more insight (P = 0.021) and significantly fewer negative symptoms (P = 0.002). Brief therapy protected against depression with improving insight and against relapse; significantly reduced time spent in hospital for those who did relapse and delayed time to admission. It did not improve psychotic symptoms or occupational recovery, nor have a lasting effect on overall symptoms or depression at follow-up.
                Mental health nurses should be trained in brief CBT for schizophrenia to supplement case management, family interventions and expert therapy for treatment resistance.

Abstract: We evaluated a rehabilitation programme for executive deficits in multiple sclerosis patients by comparing outcome scores of a cognitive intervention group (CIG; n = 11) with those of a placebo group (n = 14) and an untreated group (n = 15). Executive functioning and verbal learning improved significantly more in the CIG. The treatment effect on verbal learning was still present at 1-year follow-up. Baseline brain atrophy, quantified by the brain parenchymal fraction, was associated with treatment effects for one aspect of executive functioning. Consequently, cognitive intervention may be beneficial and baseline brain atrophy has some predictive value in determining treatment outcome for executive functioning.

Abstract:
Recent research progress showing the benefits of cognitive therapy in schizophrenia leaves the general psychiatrist unsure whether to attempt to use such techniques.
                To test whether cognitive-behavioural techniques are beneficial in the management of patients with schizophrenia in general psychiatric practice.
                A randomised controlled study comparing the use of cognitive-behavioural techniques and befriending in schizophrenia.
                Significant improvement in symptoms occurred in the group treated with cognitive-behavioural techniques but not in the befriending group. During the 6-month follow-up period the cognitive-behavioural group tended to have shorter periods in hospital.
                General psychiatrists could help their patients with schizophrenia by using cognitive-behavioural techniques. Such techniques are well within the capability of general psychiatrists, but their application would involve more of the consultant's time spent in direct contact with patients with psychoses.

The diversity of psychological interventions identified indicates the many ways in which they can potentially help people with MS. No definite conclusions can be made from this review. However there is reasonable evidence that cognitive behavioural approaches are beneficial in the treatment of depression, and in helping people adjust to, and cope with, having MS.
