Abstract:

Heart failure is a common and serious chronic condition, which can be as ‘malignant’ as most forms of cancer (Stewart, MacIntyre, Hole, Capewell, & McMurray, 2001). Recent estimates are that around 40,000 men and 45,000 women are living with heart failure in Scotland (Stewart, MacIntyre, Capewell, & McMurray, 2003). Heart failure is significantly influenced by socioeconomic factors, with people on lower incomes being more likely to develop, and die faster from, heart failure (McAlister et al, 2004). There is a growing body of research on the experience of living with heart failure, however, no

Abstract:

Insomnia is one of the most common complaints in medical practice and the sleep disorder of highest prevalence. At least 10% of the worldwide population has chronic insomnia, which has been associated with a range of negative health outcomes. Within the clinical setting, patient subtypes have been defined according to symptomology. More recently insomnia researchers have proposed phenotypes based on total sleep time during overnight polysomnography (PSG). Short-sleeping insomnia patients are purported to be a biologically severe phenotype at higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity, poor mental

Abstract:

Heart transplantation has enjoyed a spectacular success over the past 25 years. Prior to 1980 less than 350 operations were carried out with an overall one year survival of less than 60%. In 1995 more than 3,000 transplants were performed with a one year survival of 83%. However, growth and improved survival have both plateaued over the last few years; the former because of the falling donor supply and the latter, in part, because of the use of less suitable donors in an effort to offset the problem of supply. Much attention has been focused on the drama of the surgery and the intricacies of i

Abstract:

Heart failure patients have dysfunction of the cardiac conduction system that contributes to a high burden of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. Heart failure has been associated with the inflammatory response, but it is unknown if inflammation is playing a role in the remodelling of the cardiac conduction system in heart failure. Inflammation has been shown to be present in the myocardium from failing hearts and it is known to have detrimental effects on cardiac function, inducing fibrosis, remodelling of ion channels and even arrhythmias. However, the effect

Hospital administrators strive to reduce readmission and over use of the acute care setting for chronic health conditions. Historically hospitals have focused on readmission prevention strategies to improve the transition of patients from the hospital to the community and although the causes of a hospital readmission may span multiple providers along the continuum of care, the hospital is currently the only provider being penalized. The project facility implemented a readmission reduction strategy, Re-Engineered Discharge (Project RED), as a means to reduce readmissions and yet continued to ha

Abstract:

An artificial heart is a device that replaces the heart. Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to heart transplantation, or to permanently replace the heart in case heart transplantation is impossible. Although other similar inventions preceded it are going back to the late 1940s, the first artificial heart to be successfully implanted in a human was the Jarvik-7, designed by Robert Jarvik and implemented in 1982.

Abstract:

Shark Heart is a manuscript of poems that maneuver between fearlessness and tenderness at the drop of a dime. In the same way that many sharks need to survive by constantly swimming in order to extract oxygen from the water streaming between their gills, the heart muscle needs to constantly pump blood throughout a body to sustain life: there is no rest for either fish or organ until death. These poems, too, keep pushing forward; they are not afraid to explore the small beats of childhood and hidden desire, or the larger mysteries of illness and death.<br>Master of Fine Arts

Abstract:

Basement Heart is a collection of short stories with a goal of documenting the manifestations of rage and how it evolves throughout a woman’s life. In these stories, femininity is explored through the aesthetics of the grotesque. Female protagonists seek to inhabit new definitions of female sexuality that combat tired expectations made by society’s misogynistic and objectifying culture. Often, their feelings of unprovoked grief manifest themselves as pursuits of the flesh, which becomes the underlying heartbeat of each story; themes revolve around sex and obsession and explore what happens whe

I have stretched the limits of oil paint, creating works that reference flesh and the figure even while the forms remain amorphous and minimal. My work is a way for me to question the meaning of material and spiritual transformation.

The mandala, Sanskrit word for circle or center, is found in a majority of my pieces, either literally or symbolically.

The mandala is a primordial image found in the macrocosm of the universe, the microcosm of nature, and in the psyche of man. The circle has been used throughout the world in image and architecture as a sacred symbol since the beginning of time.

An early detection of heart disease can save lives, caution individuals and also help to determine the type of treatment to be given to the patients. The first test of diagnosing a heart disease is through auscultation - listening to the heart sounds. The interpretation of heart sounds is subjective and requires a professional skill to identify the abnormalities in these sounds. A medical practitioner uses a stethoscope to perform an initial screening by listening for irregular sounds from the patient's chest. Later, echocardiography and electrocardiography tests are taken for further diagnosi

This thesis is aimed at addressing some of the challenges faced by clinicians when dealing with stroke in patients with AF or heart failure, using an extensive range of historical data.
