Presentation / Conference
Roffe, C., Warusevitane, A., Smith, C., Dixit, A., Sprigg, N., Ogollah, R., …Bath, P. (2023, October). Metoclopramide for Avoiding Pneumonia after Stroke (MAPS-2) Trial. Poster presented at 15th World Stroke Congress, Toronto, Canada

The research study is designed to assess a treatment which might prevent pneumonia and improve survival in patients that have had a stroke.
Pneumonia is a major cause of death after stroke and delays recovery in survivors. The most important cause o... Read More about Metoclopramide for Avoiding Pneumonia after Stroke (MAPS-2) Trial.

Journal Article
Davies, S. J., Coyle, D., Lindley, E. J., Keane, D., Belcher, J., Caskey, F. J., …Sim, J. (2023). Bio-impedance spectroscopy added to a fluid management protocol does not improve preservation of residual kidney function in incident hemodialysis patients in a randomized controlled trial. Kidney International, 104(3), 587-598. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2023.05.016

Avoiding excessive dialysis-associated volume depletion may help preserve residual kidney function (RKF). To establish whether knowledge of the estimated normally hydrated weight from bioimpedance measurements (BI-NHW) when setting the post-hemodialy...
