Abstract
OBJECTIVES The implementation of new health services is a complex process. This study investigated the first phase of the adaptive implementation of the Dutch Meeting Centres Support Programme (MCSP) for people with dementia and their carers in three European countries (Italy, Poland, the UK) within the JPND-MEETINGDEM project. Anticipated and experienced factors influencing the implementation, and the efficacy of the implementation process, were investigated. Findings were compared with previous research in the Netherlands. METHOD A qualitative multiple case study design was applied. Checklist on anticipated facilitators and barriers to the implementation and semi-structured interview were completed by stakeholders, respectively at the end and at the beginning of the preparation phase. RESULTS Overall, few differences between countries were founded. Facilitators for all countries were: added value of MCSP matching needs of the target group, evidence of effectiveness of MCSP, enthusiasm of stakeholders. General barriers were: competition with existing care and welfare organizations and scarce funding. Some countries experienced improved collaborations, others had difficulties finding a socially integrated location for MCSP. The step-by-step implementation method proved efficacious. CONCLUSION These insights into factors influencing the implementation of MCSP in three European countries and the efficacy of the step-by-step preparation may aid further implementation of MCSP in Europe.

Abstract
In 17 patients with myotonic dystrophy, spirometric, flow-volume, and maximal mouth occlusion variables were obtained and compared with 8 normal subjects. Ventilatory CO2 response was measured by the estimation of the steady-state effect of a sufficiently large serial dead space. Variability of resting breathing pattern was expressed by the variation coefficients of respiratory cycle time and tidal volume. The group means of the total lung capacity (TLC), vital capacity (VC), forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV)1 and forced inspiratory volume in 1 sec (FIV)1 showed a restrictive pattern. Only maximal static mouth pressure (Pi,max), measured at residual volume (RV) level, showed a significant positive correlation with both VC (p = 0.03) and FIV1 (p = 0.02), suggesting inspiratory muscle weakness as a determinant of the restriction. Although the differences were just not significant, both variation coefficients of the respiratory cycle time and tidal volume were larger in the group with a CO2 sensitivity below the lower limit of normal compared to those with a normal ventilatory response to CO2. In 3 patients, fluctuations in FRC were also present. We hypothesize that, in addition to the already documented FRC fluctuations by uncoordinated spontaneous intercostal muscle action, a defect of integration of afferent neural input and chemical drive in the medullary region may also be present in these patients.
