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 ...
Community mental health care in Europe--an overview.
(2003)
Europe shares some historical roots of modern psychiatry. Even before the 19th century, there had been institutions for the mentally ill, such as the Bethlem in London which was founded more than 750 years ago, and organised ...
Tuberculous orbital apex syndromes.
(2008-11)
AIMS: To describe the clinical and radiological features of orbital apex syndromes caused by presumed tuberculosis (TB). METHODS: A review of the discharge summaries of all patients seen in the Medical Eye Unit (MEU), St ...
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 ...
Skeletal muscle repair by adult human mesenchymal stem cells from synovial membrane.
(2003-03-17)
We have demonstrated previously that adult human synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hSM-MSCs) have myogenic potential in vitro (De Bari, C., F. Dell'Accio, P. Tylzanowski, and F.P. Luyten. 2001. Arthritis ...
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. ...
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 ...
Identifying changes in selective constraints: host shifts in influenza.
(2009-11)
The natural reservoir of Influenza A is waterfowl. Normally, waterfowl viruses are not adapted to infect and spread in the human population. Sometimes, through reassortment or through whole host shift events, genetic ...
Using non-homogeneous models of nucleotide substitution to identify host shift events: application to the origin of the 1918 'Spanish' influenza pandemic virus.
(2009-10)
Nonhomogeneous Markov models of nucleotide substitution have received scant attention. Here we explore the possibility of using nonhomogeneous models to identify host shift nodes along phylogenetic trees of pathogens ...
Estimating translational selection in eukaryotic genomes.
(2009-02)
Natural selection on codon usage is a pervasive force that acts on a large variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Despite this, obtaining reliable estimates of selection on codon usage has proved complicated, perhaps ...
