Accurate antibody tests are essential to monitor the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) can deliver testing at scale. However, reported performance varies, and sensitivity analyses have generally been conducted on serum from hospitalised patients. For use in community testing, evaluation of finger-prick self-tests, non-hospitalised individuals, is required.Sensitivity analysis was 276 participants. All had tested positive for by reverse transcription PCR were ≥21 days...
Access to rapid diagnosis is key the control and management of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Laboratory RT-PCR testing current standard care but usually requires a centralised laboratory significant infrastructure. We describe our diagnostic accuracy assessment novel, point-of-care real time CovidNudge test, which no handling or sample pre-processing.
To evaluate the performance of new lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) suitable for use in a national coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) seroprevalence programme (real time assessment community transmission 2-React 2). Diagnostic accuracy study. Laboratory analyses were performed United Kingdom at Imperial College, London and university facilities London. Research clinics finger prick sampling run two affiliated NHS trusts. Sensitivity on sera stored from 320 previous participants React 2...
Carboxypeptidase E is a peptide processing enzyme, involved in cleaving numerous precursors, including neuropeptides and hormones appetite control glucose metabolism. Exome sequencing of morbidly obese female from consanguineous family revealed homozygosity for truncating mutation the CPE gene (c.76_98del; p.E26RfsX68). Analysis detected no expression whole blood-derived RNA proband, consistent with nonsense-mediated decay. The morbid obesity, intellectual disability, abnormal homeostasis...
Abstract Background There were 25.6 million attendances at Emergency Departments (EDs) in England 2019 corresponding to an increase of 12 over the past ten years. The steadily rising demand EDs creates a constant challenge provide adequate quality care while maintaining standards and productivity. Managing hospital effectively requires knowledge future rate admission. We develop novel predictive framework understand temporal dynamics demand. Methods compare combine state-of-the-art...

Setting and patients Children, young people their families registered in Child Health General Practitioner (GP) Hubs where groups GP practices come together to form ‘hubs’. Interventions Hospital paediatricians GPs participating joint clinics multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings practices, a component ‘Inside-Out’ change known as ‘Connecting Care For Children (CC4C)’. Main outcome...

Safe assessment of severe underweight in children is important but experience suggests a frequent lack understanding. Here we sought evidence from wide spectrum trainees.Cross-sectional telephone survey an on-call middle-grade paediatric doctor hospitals providing acute inpatient general care England and Wales.Response rate was 100%. Only 50% identified BMI as the appropriate measure for children. Most did not identify any clinical cardiovascular complications underweight. 13% corrected QT...
kindness in healthcare and compassionate leadership concepts are the first actions to put place if you want improve bring back more humanity healthcare.We all dream of outstanding systems that support our local communities.In early 19th century, JW Marriott said, 'If take care employees, they'll your customers, customers will keep coming again again'.In healthcare, we need focus on people: staff, patients, patients being a safe reliable system.We know what do!And now, must do know.
Handing over responsibility for patients has always been part of medical practice. Definitions emphasise transfer to ensure patient safety and the available literature tends follow this line (see box 1). Handover is much more than this, however. It a key event where teams meet, have opportunity communicate, support each other learn. This paper considers different ways maximising learning opportunities in handover, with particular emphasis on strengths challenges paediatric environment....
There is an abundance of patient experience data held within health care organizations, but stakeholders and staff are often unable to use the output in a meaningful timely way improve delivery. Dashboards, which visualized summarize key feedback, have potential address these issues.The aim this study develop dashboard with emphasis on Friends Family Test (FFT) reporting, as per national policy drive.A 2-stage approach was used-participatory co-design involving 20 co-designers prototype,...
This study considers different ways of maximising learning opportunities during ward rounds, with particular emphasis on the strengths and challenges paediatric environment. The focus is most common types round - in acute units involving predominantly trainees but we hope there will also be much that interest those who work other settings such as community clinics. Alongside a review best available evidence from literature, underpinned by educational theory, suggestions for rounds are...
