Presentation / Conference
Yu, D., Peat, G., Bedson, J., & Jordan, K. Trends In Annual Consultation Incidence Of Clinical Osteoarthritis Between 1992-2013 In UK Primary Care: Analysis Of The Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Poster presented at EULAR 2016

Background
Recent trends and future projections in the population burden of osteoarthritis and primary joint arthroplasty rates across Europe point to a growing challenge for population health and health services. However there are few studies on wh...

Identifying and rectifying prescriptions of long-acting antimuscarinic and beta-agonist inhalers without inhaled corticosteroids to asthma patients: an audit from a UK general practice surgery
Presentation / Conference
Identifying and rectifying prescriptions of long-acting antimuscarinic and beta-agonist inhalers without inhaled corticosteroids to asthma patients: an audit from a UK general practice surgery. Presented at BJGP Research Conference

Background In the UK 5.4 million people receive treatment for asthma. Patients diagnosed with asthma should not be prescribed a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), or a long-acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) without co-prescription of an inhaled cor...

NHS arm’s length bodies and health regulation in England: who regulates the regulators?
Thesis
McManus, R. M. (2015). NHS arm’s length bodies and health regulation in England: who regulates the regulators?

This research uses mixed methods to critically analyse health regulation systems in England, in a macro and micro sense. The qualitative side of the research involves interviews with key staff members from four NHS Trusts and two Clinical Commissioni...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...
