Abstract:

A characteristic feature of species of Trichoderma is the production of concentric rings of conidia in response to alternating light-dark conditions. In response to a single burst of light, a single ring of conidia forms at what was the colony perimeter. On the basis of these observations, competency to photoconidiate has been proposed to be due to the age and metabolic rate of the hyphal cell. In this study, conidiation was investigated in five biocontrol isolates (T. hamatum, T. atroviride, T. asperellum, T. virens and T. harzianum) using both a morphological and molecular approach. All five

Abstract:

The applications of low-light imaging are widespread in areas such as biomedical imaging, remote sensing, ratiometric imaging, lithography, etc. The goal of this work is to develop a radiometrically scaled hybrid RCWT calculator to count the photons detected for such applications. The rigorous computation of different imaging models are discussed. An approach to calibrate the radiometry of the hybrid RCWT model for partially coherent illumination is presented. The diffraction from the object is evaluated rigorously using the hybrid RCWT model. A test bench is set up to validate the radiometric

Abstract:

The biomechanics of slips are commonly studied in laboratory settings in an effort to improve the understanding of slip mechanisms for the advancement of slip and fall prevention strategies and risk assessment methods. Prior studies have shown changes in gait after slipping, and these changes can reduce the external validity of experimental results. As such, most researchers only slip participants one time. The ability to slip participants more than once, after allowing gait to return to a natural baseline, would improve the experimental efficiency of these studies. Therefore, the goal of

Impact evaluations in development interventions has been growing in recent years. The increasing demand for evidence-based outcomes has led to a debate of what methodology is best to evaluate the impact of development interventions.

The RCT method functions in a unique way, as it removes the selection bias and ensure high validity of a study.

Abstract:

Yes<br>Background: An unplanned hospital admission of a nursing home resident distresses the person, their family and nursing home staff, and is costly to the NHS. Improving health care in care homes, including early detection of residents’ health changes, may reduce hospital admissions. Previously, we identified four conditions associated with avoidable hospital admissions. We noted promising ‘within-home’ complex interventions including care pathways, knowledge and skills enhancement, and implementation support. Objectives: Develop a complex intervention with implementation support [the

Abstract:

There is debate regarding the effectiveness of homeopathy and its continuing provision in the NHS, and despite 150+ clinical trials there are conflicting opinions as to what can be concluded from these trials. This thesis addresses the question: “What type of clinical trial design can provide the information needed to make decisions about the provision of homeopathy in a publicly funded healthcare system?” A critique of the methods used in existing clinical trial designs was undertaken which identified twelve key criteria for appropriate clinical trial design; methods from existing standard an

Abstract:

Reflexology is one of the top six complementary therapies used in the UK. Reflexologists claim that massage to specific points of the feet increases blood supply to referred or 'mapped' organs in the body. Empirical evidence to validate this claim is scarce. This three-phase RCT measured changes in haemodynamic parameters in subjects receiving reflexology treatment applied to specific areas of the foot which are thought to correspond to the heart (intervention) compared with reflexology applied to other areas on the foot which are not (control).

Abstract:

Efforts to improve inclusion in research have included mandating the recruitment of ethnic minorities and women into NIH funded studies. However, little research has been completed on who attends such interventions. This is particularly worrisome in populations for which attendance to interventions can have dire consequences. HIV is a public health concern for pregnant women in substance using communities, as pregnant women are much less likely to use condoms during intercourse to prevent HIV. Group modular HIV prevention interventions have long been the standard for HIV prevention. However, l

Abstract:

AIMS: Missed cataract surgical appointments are an important cause of inefficiency, with delays in appropriate treatment, loss of continuity of care, and wasted resources. This study was conducted to determine if an SMS reminder system will reduce the failure to attend (FTA) rate by our patients who are booked for cataract surgery. METHODS: A randomised controlled trial was conducted at Groote Schuur Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. Eligible patients were randomised into one of two study groups: either the "NO reminder control group "or the "SMS reminder intervention group". Patients

This thesis is concerned with a 31/2 year follow up of mothers (n = 114) and their first born children (n = 116, including 2 sets of twins). When pregnant with these children the mothers participated in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a psychosocial intervention known as Preparing for Parenthood (PFP), which was designed to prevent maternal depression. This follow-up is the latest of seven main stages of the PFP research programme: (1) women were screened for sub-clinical depression (n = 1300), those who screened positive were thereby identified as at high risk of maternal depression (n

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the hallmark of evidence-based medicine and form the basis for translating research data into clinical practice. This review summarizes commonly applied designs and quality indicators of RCTs to provide guidance in interpreting and critically evaluating clinical research data. It further reflects on the principle of equipoise and its practical applicability to clinical science with an emphasis on critical care and neurological research.

I klinisk forskning har det lenge vært en debatt om betydningen av fellesfaktorer og spesifikke faktorer i terapi. Forskerne strides fremdeles om hvilke faktorer som i størst grad kan tilskrives den ubestridte virkningen av terapeutisk behandling. I dette studiet undersøkes den relative betydningen av faktorene allianse, kompetanse, etterlevelse og behandlingstformat for utfall i terapi for generalisert angstlidelse (GAD). Behandlingsformatene som undersøkes er kognitiv atferdsterapi (CBT) og metakognitiv terapi (MCT). For å undersøke effekten av allianse, kompetanse og etterlevelse kodes diss

L’AOT, già applicata con successo negli adulti per il recupero motorio nel Parkinson, post ictus o chirurgia ortopedica, in età evolutiva può favorire l’apprendimento motorio e migliorare la funzionalità degli arti superiori tramite l’osservazione e la successiva esecuzione di azioni.

Abstract:

The current study analysed baseline data from the Jockey Club Early Psychosis (JCEP) 4-year RCT study (still underway). The aims were to (1) examine whether the correlations between premorbid functioning and the outcome variables of social functioning and clinical symptoms were significant in baseline measurements of the JCEP study, and (2) pave the way for the examination of the persistence of these correlations at 4 year follow-up, after the completion of the JCEP study. 360 first-episode adult-onset psychosis patients with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders were recruited from all inpatien
