This study aimed to develop a novel Transdermal Energy Transmission System (TETS) device that addresses the driveline complications faced by patients with advanced heart failure (HF). Our TETS utilizes two-channel configuration very-low duty cycle and pulsed RF power transmission technique, along elliptically shaped flexible coil inductive coupling elements. We integrated battery charging controller module into TETS, enabling it recharge an implanted Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) powers...
Many farmers rely on anthelmintics to control gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep. In response concerns about rising levels of anthelmintic resistance reported countries around the world, current advice is adopt more sustainable practices. A small-scale survey was used inform group discussions with farmers, veterinarians and prescribers, better understand barriers adoption gastro-intestinal nematode sheep flocks across United Kingdom. Thematic analysis identified four change: not seeing need...
Abstract Flock health planning has been advocated as part of a wider drive within livestock production for veterinarians and farmers to adopt prevention‐focused approach veterinary medicine. This has, at its core, cyclical process assessment, evaluation, action re‐assessment, is documented, least in summary, plan (HP). The HP become defining pillar farm quality assurance schemes (QASs), introduced address calls greater transparency accountability food production. There limited current...
Sheep scab (psoroptic mange), which is endemic in the United Kingdom (UK) flock, has a significant, negative impact on sheep welfare. Nothing previously been published about distribution of Northern Ireland (NI), nor Irish farmers' knowledge and behaviours relating to disease, its treatment, prevention control. Between March June 2021 an online questionnaire disease was completed by farmers NI. Forty-four respondents out total 122 valid returns (36%) indicated that they had at least one...
Stewardship of antibiotics used in livestock production has come under increasing scrutiny, from both the animal welfare point view and due to concerns that antibiotic use may pose a risk human health through selection pressure drive development resistant strains bacteria. Despite this concern, however, consumption sheep sector is currently poorly described. This study determines range quantities Northern Irish (NI) flock as well exploring drivers for their use. A mixed-methods approach was...
Sheep scab, caused by infestation with the ectoparasitic mite Psoroptes ovis, is an endemic disease in Northern Ireland (NI) sheep flock and constitutes significant economic welfare burdens for NI farming industry. Despite its nature, historically, little research has been undertaken to support control of NI. This study offers first attempt analyse psychological behavioural factors influencing farmers’ intentions implement effective scab measures To achieve our objective, quantitative data...
Management of pain is critical to improve the welfare farmed livestock and meet consumer expectations. There limited published information about use analgesic drugs in sheep sector.
Abstract Background In order to improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), including changes in prescribing and use, an enhanced understanding is needed of the barriers that veterinary surgeons (vets) encounter institute such change. Methods A qualitative approach, using grounded theory, was followed. Interviews discussion groups, with vets farm industry stakeholders Northern Ireland (NI), were undertaken identify explore attitudes behaviours surrounding AMS, a particular emphasis on...
This article presents the development of a power loss emulation (PLE) system device to study and find ways mitigating skin tissue heating effects in transcutaneous energy transmission systems (TETS) for existing next generation left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Skin thermal profile measurements were made using PLE prototype also separately with TETS porcine model. Subsequent data analysis separate computer modelling studies permit understanding contribution blood perfusion towards...
A twelve-animal porcine study dataset was retrospectively analyzed to assess associations between chest compression (CC) depth, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2).Manual CCs were applied for 7 two-minute episodes, at CC depths 10mm-55mm.A rolling 15s analysis window the continuous signals.Mean peak values calculated each window.Correlation strength of association.Optimal depth achieve physiological targets determined via cut-off analysis.A total 672...
Abstract Background Sheep scab, caused by the highly infectious Psoroptes ovis mite, is considered to be endemic in Northern Ireland, although little investigation has been reported. A pilot project was undertaken engage farmers, confirm cases with diagnostic methods and identify specific barriers control, aim of informing future control programmes. Methods Through farmers self‐reporting suspected outbreaks, on‐farm risk assessments clinical investigations were carried out farm's veterinary...
