Abstract:
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, inflammatory rheumatic disease that has a highly variable disease course. Three biologic agents, adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab, have been developed for the treatment of AS. We conducted three studies: 1) an exploratory analysis of a year-long longitudinal dataset to gain insight into the variability of disease activity, physical function, and well-being and to explore the relationship between these outcome measures; 2) a systematic review of the available evidence for the efficacy of biologic treatment; 3) a systematic review of potential adve

Abstract:
Studies investigating exposure to disinfection by-products (DBPs) via chlorinated waters during pregnancy and adverse fetal growth outcomes have been limited by potential exposure measurement error, lack of exposure assessment validation and potential residual confounding. Factors driving DBP exposure are poorly understood, making it difficult to target resources appropriately in order to improve exposure assessment. These issues were investigated through DBP exposure assessment and validation for a new investigation of DBPs and fetal growth within the Born in Bradford (BiB) cohort study. Anal

Abstract:
Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are a major group of water contaminants and their role in causing adverse health outcomes, including adverse pregnancy outcomes, endocrine disruption, respiratory related adverse health outcomes and cancer has been subject to extensive epidemiological and toxicological research and review. Determination of safe exposure to DBPs, particularly within drinking water supplies, has been a topic of extensive debate, with a wide range of acceptable levels set across the industrialized world.

Frailty and malnutrition are two major medical issues influencing the health of older people. This doctoral thesis investigated the predictive ability and discriminatory power of clinically applicable frailty instruments and their malnutrition counterparts - nutritional screening tools (NSTs). The study was prospective and observational by design, and included patients aged ≤ 70 years consecutively admitted to the Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit (GEMU) at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, South Australia.

The hypothesized outcome was better specificity and sensitivity utilizing the newly prepared instrument in predicting at an earlier point if an elderly emergency department patient would become an alternate level of care (ALC) patient.
