Abstract:

Background Screening for colorectal cancer aims to reduce mortality by detecting cancer at an earlier stage. The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) offers faecal occult blood testing (FOBt) followed by colonoscopy for those with a positive FOBt. This thesis examines the detection and management of colorectal neoplasia in the BCSP. Aims and Methods 1. Explore adenoma detection rate (ADR) as a measure of colonoscopic performance and examine which factors influence adenoma detection rate by analysing data gathered from the BCSP. 2.

Abstract:

Background: Fatigue is a complex, multifactorial and multidimensional phenomenon, which has been described as a persistent overwhelming sense of tiredness, weakness, or exhaustion. It is the third most common concern for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), experienced by 44-86% of patients with active disease and 22-41% of patients in remission. Fatigue can have a significant negative impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL). The aetiology of fatigue is not well understood. Interventions for IBD-fatigue are scarce, demonstrating limited benefit, and have not been implemented into

There are numerous practice areas within the intensive care environment that are important for ensuring quality of care and evidence based practice. Complications associated with poor bowel management for critically ill patients include, increased ventilation times and length of stay. Bowel management protocols can improve patient outcomes by prompting clinicians and standardising care. Evidence-based implementation strategies are more likely to increase the update of guidelines or protocols into practice than merely providing copies to clinicians.

Abstract:

This paper conducts an analysis of the short-term Firm Value Enhancement that companies experience during large-scale advertising campaigns, such as the Super Bowl. The findings suggest that these firms may experience a positive or negative return during the days after a large event, by signaling to investors and consumers the value of their firm through their advertisements. Some of the highlights include an approximately – 5% return for Super Bowl Advertisers on the Monday after the event, and underperformance during the two weeks surrounding the event.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to establish the challenges that Senior Management Teams face as instructional supervisors. The study begins by highlighting the statement of the problem as well as the goals. It continues by providing the historical development of instructional supervision. The study also brings an overview of instructional supervision in Botswana with particular attention to primary school environments. The mixed method approach which incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches guided this study. Quantitative data was captured using closed ended questionnaires while qua

Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this project was to prove or disprove the hypothesis that wheel and rail wear, and incidents of wheel squeal increase with increasing bogie rotation friction, while decreasing bogie rotation friction leads to increased incidents of hunting and increased wheel and rail wear. Therefore for any given combination of factors (vehicle type, curve radius, wheel profile, etc) an optimal bogie rotation friction level should exist at which incidents of hunting and wheel squeal are eliminated and wheel and rail wear is minimised. </p> <p>In order to test the hypothesis a literature rev
