Abstract:

The DICOM-conformant PACS of the MGH was subjected to a performance study. The goal was to develop the tools needed to extract meaningful, quantitative measures related to performance with a view towards establishing reliable indicators that can help identify design weaknesses and performance changes over time. Efforts focused on operational scenarios such as moving images from servers to workstations, automatic routing and prefetching tasks. The performance of each process underlying these scenarios was studied using residency timing combined with a web-based monitoring system to yield quanti

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three papers: a literature review, an empirical paper and a reflective paper. The systematic literature review examines the role of dissociation within eating disorders. Thirty-four articles meeting the inclusion criteria were identified through database searches and manual searches. The findings of these articles were reviewed and critically appraised. The evidence reviewed indicates that dissociation in people with an eating disorder diagnosis may have a number of roles. Individuals with an eating disorder diagnosis may use dissociation as a means of managing certain

This thesis comprises three chapters exploring health professionals’ experiences and attitudes regarding diagnoses that challenge mental health services. The first chapter is a systematic literature review investigating the impact of training on staff attitudes towards personality disorder. Eleven articles were reviewed and critically evaluated. Despite inconsistencies in the data and a number of methodological concerns, there is evidence to suggest that training is effective in improving staff members’ cognitive and affective attitudes towards personality disorder, and their therapeutic engag

Treating people living with severe health conditions has, and always will be, a fundamental part of the National Health Service. Given the complex nature of conditions such as Huntington's Disease and Cancer, research exploring the impact severe health conditions can have on those affected is of paramount importance. Chapter one is a systematic review utilising a meta-ethnographic approach to explore qualitative research portraying people's experiences of genetic testing for Huntington's Disease (HD).

Abstract:

There is a need to develop a clear understanding of the knowledge used by mental health nurses in day to day practice. Knowledge relating to holistic/therapeutic activities form the basis of mental health nurse education, however various studies have consistently shown the majority of mental health nurses activity relates to administrative and routine tasks and containment. This disparity between the knowledge bases prescribed, those described and the inability of education reforms to resolve such inconsistencies suggests other influences are at work.

There are two basic models that are used to calculate the internal work involved in movement. The first, an energy-based model, calculates the changes in the energy of the segments. There are many variations of this model but Aleshinsky (1986) has shown that this approach lacks mathematical validity. The other, a power-based model, integrates the joint powers to find work. A modified power model (using absolute values) was shown by Aleshinsky (1986) to be mathematically valid but has only been used in two studies (Chapman et al., 1987; Caldwell and Forrester, 1992) each having only one subject

Ghrelin is a 28 amino-acid peptide produced predominantly by the stomach. Two main isoforms of ghrelin are currently known (octanoyl- and desoctanoyl ghrelin). It functions as a circulating orexigenic hormone In addition, it has an effect on the nervous, cardiovascular and immune system. Current data suggest that ghrelin may have beneficial anti-inflammatory effects. Chapter 3 in this thesis primarily examines the relationship between ghrelin and inflammation in Crohn’s disease (CD).

Abstract:

This review examines the research on the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), which has become a popular communication strategy for children with autism and other communication disorders. A growing body of research has shown that the system is a promising mode of communication. There is, however, a paucity of research that examines the conditions under which the PECS is used, specifically whether children use the PECS to make spontaneous requests. A lack of agreement currently exists over the definition of the term ‘spontaneity’ and so researchers of the PECS who do report instances o

In using the internal landmark matching technique for registering brain volumes from single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, the resulting errors are different from similar registrations of positron emission tomography (PET) and MR volumes because of the anisotropic nature of SPECT's tomographic resolution. SPECT/MR registration errors are investigated with point simulation to allow a controlled study of the dependence of the translation and rotation errors on different factors. These factors include: the number of point pairs, m, the error in po

Abstract:

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a risk factor for the development of early-onset emphysema and airflow obstruction. The current work defines exacerbations, lung function and health status in these patients including sibling pairs. Exacerbations occur commonly in AATD and are associated with worse health status. Exacerbations were associated with a decline in the gas transfer of the lung over time, but show no relationship to changes in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). However, despite lung function decline, patients do not show a progressive loss in health status. Index

Low job satisfaction is a major cause of high turnover among health care providers (Krueger, Brazil,Lohfeld, Edward, Lewis & Tjam, 2002; Costello, 2001 and Nobile & McCormick, 2008). Job satisfaction that affects the quality of service and organisational commitment may be a contributing factor in the shortage of health care providers. These observations led to an increased interest in assessing job satisfaction levels among health care providers.

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the leading causes of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Many of the virulence factors are encoded on staphylococcal mobile genetic elements. Members of the SaPI family of S. aureus mobile elements encode superantigens and are mobilized at high frequency by specific helper bacteriophages. One remarkable feature of helper phage exploitation by SaPIs is remodeling of the normal T=7 bacteriophage capsid to produce smaller T=4 phage-like particles. These particles, composed entirely of helper phage proteins, can accommodate the smaller SaPI genome while e

Abstract:

Arthrogryposis, Renal dysfunction, and Cholestasis (ARC) syndrome is a multisystem disorder caused by mutations in genes encoding two proteins VPS33B or VIPAR, which appear to be critical regulators of cell polarity. VPS33B and VIPAR may function as part of a multi-protein complex that interacts with an active form of RAB11A and is involved in the transcriptional regulation of E-cadherin. VPS33B and VIPAR are shown to interact at a protein level forming a stable binary complex. A novel interacting partner of VIPAR was identified, PLOD3, a posttranslational modification enzyme with lysyl hydrox

Abstract:

The broad aim of this thesis on ‘Health Economic aspects in the management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease’ (COPD) was to study the natural history of the disease in order to inform the conceptualisation and development of a new economic model. Existing economic evaluations for COPD were critiqued and information on the natural history of the disease gathered though literature searches and analyses of two large datasets, a COPD randomised controlled trial called TORCH and a general population observational dataset called the Renfrew/Paisley (MIDSPAN) study. Particular attention was pa

Abstract:

Medication errors are among the most common causes of unintended harm to patients and have led to many deaths. Some categories of medication errors include; medications administered to the wrong person; medications administered at the wrong time, through the wrong route; administration of the wrong medication and/or dose; and the omission of medications. Guided by the logic model, the just culture model, and the Knowles theory of andragogy, the purpose of the project was to determine if providing information related to evidence-based strategies to reduce medication errors would result in safer
