Presentation / Conference
Yu, D., & Jordan, K. P. Does Multimorbidity Influence the Outcomes of Total Hip Replacement for Osteoarthritis?. Presented at 2021 Association of Surgeons in Training International Surgical Conference

Introduction Limited data are available on the influence of multimorbidity on the outcomes of total hip replacement for patients with hip osteoarthritis, including the rate of complications and degree of functional benefit. The aim of this study was... Read More about Does Multimorbidity Influence the Outcomes of Total Hip Replacement for Osteoarthritis?.

The kinematics and physical properties for some H II regions to the North-East of NGC 4945**
Presentation / Conference
Van Loon. The kinematics and physical properties for some H II regions to the North-East of NGC 4945**. Presented at 3rd International Scientific Conference of Alkafeel University (ISCKU 2021)

We study the ionized outflows to the North-East of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4945 with the combination of the Fabry-Perot (FP) and long-slit (LS) observations at the South African Large Telescope (SALT). The FP observation was used to analyse Ha... Read More about The kinematics and physical properties for some H II regions to the North-East of NGC 4945**.

Multivariate decoding of EEG data reveals similar mechanisms mediate perceptual adaptation and spontaneous perceptual reversals
Presentation / Conference
Dundas, K., & Brooks, J. Multivariate decoding of EEG data reveals similar mechanisms mediate perceptual adaptation and spontaneous perceptual reversals. Presented at ECVP 2021

The cause of spontaneous perceptual reversals of visually ambiguous stimuli (e.g., Rubin’s faces-vase) has been attributed to several different mechanisms. One hypothesis suggests that adaptation, or “neural fatigue”, builds up while one interpretati...

Fifteen-Year Trends in the Rates of Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Impact of COURAGE and ORBITA Trials: Insights From British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Dataset
Presentation / Conference
Mamas, & Rashid. Fifteen-Year Trends in the Rates of Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Impact of COURAGE and ORBITA Trials: Insights From British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Dataset. Presented at Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics

Background This study was designed to evaluate temporal trends in elective rates of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable angina and, specifically, to study the impact of the COURAGE and ORBITA trials on real-life practice. Methods We a...

Incidence of post-procedure complications in children undergoing elective flexible bronchoscopy
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist. Incidence of post-procedure complications in children undergoing elective flexible bronchoscopy. Presented at ERS International Congress 2019

Background: Paediatric flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (FB-BAL) is a safe procedure with a low incidence of intra-procedure complications. There is a paucity of data on the incidence of post-procedure complications.

Aim: To inves... Read More about Incidence of post-procedure complications in children undergoing elective flexible bronchoscopy.

The British Lung Foundation asthma management programme improving children's asthma control
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist. The British Lung Foundation asthma management programme improving children's asthma control. Presented at ERS International Congress 2017

Background: The 10-year Finland asthma programme showed that educating healthcare workers, patients and families reduces hospital admissions and asthma-related deaths (1).

Aim: The Department of Health and the Scottish Government funded a 2-year p... Read More about The British Lung Foundation asthma management programme improving children's asthma control.

Female sex is associated with increased risk of early readmission with asthma in Staffordshire children
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist. Female sex is associated with increased risk of early readmission with asthma in Staffordshire children. Presented at ERS International Congress 2017

Background: Asthma is the commonest medical reason for a child to be admitted to hospital in the UK. c.15% are readmitted within 3 months.

Aim: We undertook a retrospective case-control study to determine the predictors of readmission.

Methods:... Read More about Female sex is associated with increased risk of early readmission with asthma in Staffordshire children.

REPRODUCIBILITY OF LUNG CLEARANCE INDEX (LCI) IN CLINICALLY STABLE ADULTS WITH MILD CYSTIC FIBROSIS (CF)
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist. REPRODUCIBILITY OF LUNG CLEARANCE INDEX (LCI) IN CLINICALLY STABLE ADULTS WITH MILD CYSTIC FIBROSIS (CF). Presented at British Thoracic Society Winter Meeting 2016

Background In order for lung clearance index (LCI) to be a clinically useful measurement, a better understanding is required of short-term variability. LCI-SEARCH is a longitudinal study in children and adults with CF, with LCI measured at each clini...

Rapid and portable MBW measurements for clinical application of LCI in routine clinics
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist. Rapid and portable MBW measurements for clinical application of LCI in routine clinics. Presented at ERS Lung Science Conference 2016

Background: Assessment of lung clearance index (LCI) is typically a prolonged process (>20mins), performed in physiology labs. This has hindered routine clinical application and restricted repeat assessments to annual reviews. We have developed a por...

The potential of closed circuit lung clearance index (LCI) to provide longitudinal clinical utility in cystic fibrosis (CF)
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist. The potential of closed circuit lung clearance index (LCI) to provide longitudinal clinical utility in cystic fibrosis (CF). Presented at https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/54/suppl_63/PA332

Background: Closed circuit washin offers a quicker test with the advantages of an exogenous tracer to measure FRC and LCI. We measured LCI in CF paediatric and adult outpatient clinics to assess repeatability of LCI and track changes over time, and i...
