Purpose: To study the safety of intravitreal drug injections used to treat macular eye diseases. Methods: This thesis is based on results from two clinical trials, the BEVORDEX study, a phase II, multicentre, randomised clinical trial of sustained release intravitreal dexamethasone implant (DEX implant) versus intravitreal injections of bevacizumab for diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and the Speed IOP study, a crossover randomised clinical trial which primarily assessed the association of intravitreal injection speed with intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in patients receiving injections of

This thesis presents a series of clinical studies on neuroprotective drugs in both volunteers and stroke patients, and assesses the current methodology of clinical trials in stroke. Previous therapeutic trials in stoke have often been inadequate due to small numbers of patients and lack of robust outcome criteria. Overview analyses have not appreciated differences amongst impairment scales developed for clinical trials. Stroke scales are relevant to outcome and may provide surrogate end-points in exploratory trials. In three volunteer studies with the non-competitive NMDA antagonist aptiganel

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate supervisors’ perceptions of the relationship between supervision and therapeutic outcomes in the psychological therapies. Research investigating the contribution of supervision to therapeutic outcomes is limited and often methodologically weak (e.g. Freitas, 2002; Inman & Ladany, 2008; Watkins, 2011b; Wheeler & Richards, 2007a, 2007b).

Abstract:
Dementia is a chronic insidious disease that destroys the individual's cognitive, emotional and mental abilities. Ultimately, the individual is unable to appropriately verbalize basic wants and needs; therefore, behavioral symptoms become the way of communicating. Behavioral symptoms vary greatly from passivity to hostility and aggression. Unfortunately, due to the difficult task of caring for these individuals many families must place their loved ones in a long-term care facility for direct supervision. Long-term care facilities often use chemical restraints in order to treat the behavioral p

Rett syndrome is a profoundly handicapping neurological disorder with an incidence of approximately 1 in 10,000 live female births. The recently acknowledged syndrome has neither known cause nor cure. The nature of the syndrome is particularly distressing for parents, since regression occurs in infants after apparently normal early development. Rapid therapeutic intervention after diagnosis is considered vital in order to ameliorate detrimental stereotypical behaviours and to limit painful physical deterioration. However, there is little published research dealing with the effects of therapies

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is characterized by the presence of the t(11 ;14)(g13 ;g32) translocation which results in cyclin Dl over-expression. MCL is one of the most difficult lymphoproliferative disorders to manage with a median survival rate of 43 months from diagnosis. The poor prognosis associated with MCL is due in large part to its late classification as a separate clinical entity leading to a dearth in available pre-clinical models.

Mutations in the visual pigment protein rod opsin are the most common cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) and the majority of these mutations lead to the misfolding of the protein. Patients with ADRP experience progressive loss of vision leading to blindness and at the moment no effective therapy is available. In this study I have developed a cellular model that can mimic the gain-of function and dominant-negative disease mechanisms in rhodopsin ADRP patients.

In addition, little is known about the client's experience of being in psychodynamic therapy. In order to continue to be funded in the NHS, psychodynamic therapies need to better demonstrate their strengths in terms of process and outcome.

Recent evidence suggests that nitrite (NO2-) may play an important role in protecting the myocardium from IRI.

Abstract:
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a homozygous GAA repeat expansion mutation in intron 1 of the frataxin gene (FXN), which instigates transcriptional issues. As a consequence, reduced levels of frataxin protein lead to mitochondrial iron accumulation, oxidative stress and ultimately cell death; particularly in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons and the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum. In addition to neurological disability, FRDA is associated with cardiomyopathy, diabetes mellitus and skeletal deformities. Currently there is no effective

Abstract:
Over the last three decades, Rhenium-188 (¹⁸⁸Re) applications in Nuclear Medicine therapies have gathered a lot of interest thanks to the favorable physical and chemical characteristics of this isotope. In order to optimize ¹⁸⁸Re therapies, the accurate knowledge of the activity distribution within the patient body is required. To this end, the nuclear medicine images must yield accurate quantitative measurements. However, the decay of ¹⁸⁸Re results in a large variety of emissions such as β-particles, γ-particles and Bremsstrahlung, making quantitative measurements of ¹⁸⁸Re activity a very dif
