Abstract:

The neutrophil is central to the development of COPD. To enter lung, neutrophils must migrate accurately from the circulation to inflamed tissue. It is unclear which migratory stimuli are important and whether COPD neutrophils vary in their migratory behaviour, either to controls or patients with similar lung disease. COPD sputum and plasma samples were collected on 11 occasions over one month. Significant correlations were demonstrated between the inflammatory biomarkers and between inflammatory biomarkers and markers of disease. IL-8 correlated most strongly both with other inflammatory medi

To assess the ability of lung recruitment maneuvers to improve lung function. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesize that ventilator recruitment strategies be well-tolerated in cardiac patients, and that they may benefit such patients by improving physiologic variables such as lung function and oxygenation.

Abstract:

Formation of atelectasis, defined as reversible collapse of aerated lung, often occurs after induction of anaesthesia with mechanical ventilation. As a consequence, there is a risk for hypoxemia, altered hemodynamics and impaired respiratory system mechanics. In certain situations, the risk for atelectasis formation is increased and its consequences may also be more difficult to manage. Anesthesia for bariatric surgery in morbidly obese patients and surgery requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV) with capnothorax are examples of such situations. In Paper I (30 patients with BMI > 40 kg/m2 sche

Abstract:

Background: Patient recruitment to trials is problematic; many fail to achieve targets, leaving them underpowered and unable to address their hypothesis. Few solutions have been identified in existing literature. This thesis aimed to: identify factors associated with recruitment; and understand clinicians’ experiences of recruiting patients to a primary care based randomised controlled trial (RCT). This was explored using The Birmingham Atrial Fibrillation Treatment of the Aged (BAFTA) trial as a case study. Methods: Mixed methods were used: a systematic review to identify factors influencing

Abstract:

Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) are regarded as a ‘gold standard’ technique to evaluate and compare clinical interventions. Strict ethical criteria dictate the participation of humans in clinical research, based on informed consent, voluntary decision making and putting patients’ interests first. Demand for RCTs in Trauma and Orthopaedics is high, but patient recruitment continues to pose a significant challenge, especially when the treatments being compared are obviously different. Lack of blinding, treatment preference and negative perception of random allocation to interventions are amo

Abstract:

Introduction and background Recruitment to cancer clinical trials needs to be improved, as does patient understanding about clinical trials, to enable patients to make an informed choice about whether or not to take part. The main reason that clinically eligible patients do not take part in clinical trials is because they refuse; poor understanding of the research has been associated with patient refusal. Audiovisual patient information (AVPI) has been shown to improve knowledge/understanding in various areas of practice but there is limited information about its effect in the cancer clinical

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome is a congenital birth defect that is defined by underdevelopment of the left heart during pregnancy. This is especially dangerous as the left heart holds the systemic flow of blood- the oxygenated blood. Not enough oxygen throughout the whole body causes cyanosis, which symptoms include bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous membrane due to low oxygen saturation. Single Ventricle Palliation followed by Biventricular Conversion is the most common surgical procedural pathway to correct this defect. The goal is to convert from a single ventricle cir

Abstract:

Recent attention has focused on the performance of sample selection techniques employed in clinical research. In studies having a specified, yet arbitrary, target population, one objective of recruiting is to limit enrollment to members of this group. However, when eligibility is determined by observations of a continuous response variable, ineligible patients may be enrolled due to the misclassification resulting from truncated sampling. It is believed that these screening failures will have a negative impact on a study although the severity of the effect is unknown. This study examined the p
