The purpose of this research is to develop the "DQoL-OC", a unique questionnaire to evaluate the quality of life of people aged 60 or above providing care for a family member with Alzheimer's disease or other related dementia at home in the UK. This questionnaire is aimed at allowing researchers, health and social professionals, as well as the older family carers themselves, to quantify the impact caring in different aspects life, for the purposes of economic evaluation or implementation and evaluation of interventions. The results from this study will also help us to understand better the aspects that affect carers' quality of life and well-being, which may guide future policies and the support provided to older family carers in the future. The DQoL-OC is being developed in two parts. The first part is now completed and was carried out through focus groups with older family carers for discussions about important aspects related to their quality of life and well-being in order to create the items of the new questionnaire. Its preliminary version contains 100 questions about the practical aspects of care and caregiving, carers' feelings and concerns and satisfaction with life and with the caring role. The second part of the DQoL-OC development is currently being carried out and aims to evaluate its validity and reliability for use with older family carers and to reduce it into a smaller number of items. About 300 older family carers are invited to answer individually the DQoL-OC and other similar questionnaires for these purposes. About 25 participants taking part in this study are invited to answer the same questions with an interval of two weeks in order to allow us to compare the results and its stability over this period of time.

This is a follow-up study focusing on long-term complications of acute pancreatitis. The primary purposes include: 1. To assess the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus（2-DM）,impaired glucose tolerance, metabolic abnormalities of blood lipids after acute pancreatitis. 2. To observe the possible long-term clinical outcomes after acute pancreatitis attack, which may include: chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, pancreatogenic portal hypertension, autoimmune pancreatitis et al. 3. To evaluate the long-term influence of acute lung injury(PaO2/FiO2<200,FiO2 means fraction of inspiration O2) in AP patients during ICU stay on life qualities of the patients; 4. To observe the prognosis of the local complications of acute pancreatitis(AP) patients; it might be helpful to find the most effective and targeted interventions aiming at different phases after AP attack.
Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are a quite common congenital disorder. Over years, surgical excision was proposed to the patients because transformation into a malignant skin tumor (melanoma) was feared. Recent data proof that the risk for malignancy was overestimated. Nowadays still a lot of patients express their wish for surgical removal out of aesthetic reasons and psychological impacts. Many patients and families experience stigmatization because of the nevus. To proof a medical indication for surgical removal the investigators want to evaluate the quality of life and stigmatization before and after nevus surgery.
