Abstract:

Antibody directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT) is a drug delivery system developed for the treatment of cancer. ADEPT uses a systemically administered antibody, tethered to an enzyme, to localize enzyme in tumour deposits. When the antibody-enzyme has cleared from the circulation, a low-toxicity prodrug is given. The prodrug is converted by the tumour-bound enzyme into an active cytotoxic drug. The system has potential to generate a highly potent cytotoxic agent at the tumour site. A clinical ADEPT system using MFECP1, a recombinant fusion protein consisting of an anti-carcinoembryonic antig

It is of crucial importance to identify and disseminate effective treatments for paediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is time-consuming and distressing, and can substantially disable functioning at school, at home, and with peers (Piacentini, 2003). Children who do not receive treatment are at risk of psychological difficulties in adulthood, including continued OCD, clinical anxiety and depression, personality disorders, and social maladjustment (Wewetzer et al., 2001). Two-thirds of adult cases of OCD develop in childhood, and adults with OCD have lower employment, poorer acade

Abstract:

This study examines the problem of female obesity in the United States. A woman who has a Body Mass Index of 30 or above is considered to be obese and this applies to over 50 percent of American women. Both physical and psychological consequences of obesity were considered. The study also examines current treatments available for the treatment of obesity and looks at the possibility that hypnosis may be an effective adjunct treatment. The study was based on the premise that hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness in which certain normal human capabilities are heightened while others fell

Lameness was described by the Farm Animal Welfare Council (2009) as one of the foremost health and welfare challenges facing dairy cattle in the UK. Studies suggest UK lameness prevalence has increased over the past 30 years peaking at 36.8% in 2006-2007. The first study in this thesis aimed to investigate current lameness prevalence and related management practices in the UK. Short, structured interviews were conducted with farmers on 43 randomly selected farms in central England during spring 2014 before mobility scoring the lactating herd.

Abstract:

In-hospital onset strokes represent 4% to 20% of all reported strokes in the United States. The variability of treatment protocols and workflows as well as the complex etiology and multiple comorbidities of the in-hospital stroke subpopulation often result in unfavorable outcomes and higher mortality rates compared to those who experience strokes outside of the hospital setting. The purpose of this project was to conduct a systematic review to identify and summarize effective strategies and practices for prompt recognition and treatment of in-hospital strokes.

Abstract:

On average 322 million people worldwide are affected by depression. It is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and is often paired with anxiety. Although there are several ways to treat both depression and anxiety, the most popular way is through the use of anti-depressant medication. Typical alternative methods are talk therapy and acupuncture, which brings me to my question: Are anti-depressants truly the most effective way to treat depression or are they ultimately the most cost effective for patients suffering from the mental illness because they are the type of treatmen

Abstract:

Introduction: Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is an attractive treatment option for prosthetic joint infections (PJIs).

The primary aim of this study is to report the outcome of DAIR in patients with hip and knee PJIs receiving short course of antibiotic therapy. The secondary aim is to identify risk factors for DAIR failure.

Abstract:

South Africa has a residence based system of taxation in which South African tax residents are taxed on their worldwide income. A company or other artificial person is regarded as a South African resident for tax purposes if it is incorporated, established or formed in South Africa or if its ‗effective management‘ is located in South Africa. Where a tax treaty determines in terms of its tie breaker rule that an artificial person is not resident in South Africa for treaty purposes, the company will also not be regarded as a tax resident in terms of South African domestic law. Treaties to which

Abstract:

The present study presents three individual cases; all three clients had endured a traumatic event, namely rape, and all three met the criteria for PTSD. Despite the fact that each of the clients was initially assessed as being a suitable candidate for psychological treatment, none of the cases proceeded to the therapy phase of treatment. A number of obstacles, both personal and contextual, were encountered during treatment implementation, preventing or limiting a successful outcome of psychological treatment in each case. An examination of these cases highlights a few of the many obstacles fr
