Professional-patient communication in the treatment of mental illness: a review.
(2007)
The quality of the professional-patient relationship in the treatment of mental illness predicts patient outcome. Hence, we conducted a review of recorded professional-patient communication to identify existing research, ...
The incidence of myocardial injury following post-operative Goal Directed Therapy.
(2007-03-19)
BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that Goal Directed Therapy (GDT) results in improved outcome following major surgery. However, there is concern that pre-emptive use of inotropic therapy may lead to an increased incidence of ...
Computer-based teaching is as good as face to face lecture-based teaching of evidence based medicine: a randomised controlled trial.
(2007-07-20)
BACKGROUND: At postgraduate level evidence based medicine (EBM) is currently taught through tutor based lectures. Computer based sessions fit around doctors' workloads, and standardise the quality of educational provision. ...
Economic evaluation of a rehabilitation program integrating exercise, self-management, and active coping strategies for chronic knee pain.
(2007-10-15)
OBJECTIVE: To conduct an economic evaluation of the Enabling Self-Management and Coping with Arthritic Knee Pain through Exercise (ESCAPE-knee pain) program. METHODS: Alongside a clinical trial, we estimated the costs of ...
Clinical effectiveness of a rehabilitation program integrating exercise, self-management, and active coping strategies for chronic knee pain: a cluster randomized trial.
(2007-10-15)
OBJECTIVE: Chronic knee pain is a major cause of disability and health care expenditure, but there are concerns about efficacy, cost, and side effects associated with usual primary care. Conservative rehabilitation may ...
DIAP2 functions as a mechanism-based regulator of drICE that contributes to the caspase activity threshold in living cells.
(2007-12-31)
In addition to their well-known function in apoptosis, caspases are also important in several nonapoptotic processes. How caspase activity is restrained and shut down under such nonapoptotic conditions remains unknown. ...
Involving older people in health research.
(2007-09)
BACKGROUND: It is a UK policy requirement to involve patients and the public in health research as active partners. OBJECTIVE: We reviewed published reports of studies which involved older people in commissioning, prioritizng, ...
Hardness measured with traditional Vickers and Martens hardness methods.
(2007-09)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the differences, if any, between hardness measured with traditional Vickers and Martens hardness test methods on denture teeth under 2, 10 and 50 N loads. METHOD: Hardness of acrylic resin (VIV), ...
A flexible model for multivariate interval-censored survival times with complex correlation structure.
(2007-02-10)
We focus on the analysis of multivariate survival times with highly structured interdependency and subject to interval censoring. Such data are common in developmental genetics and genetic epidemiology. We propose a flexible ...
Inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase unmasks a CD30-triggered apoptotic pathway in anaplastic large cell lymphoma cells.
(2007-02)
CD30, a non-death domain-containing member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, triggers apoptosis in anaplastic large cell lymphoma cells. The CD30 signaling pathways that lead to the induction of apoptosis ...
