It has been suggested that the known poorer survival from cancer in United Kingdom, compared with other European countries, can be attributed to more advanced stage at presentation. There is, therefore, a need understand diagnostic process, and ascertain risk factors for increased time We report results two worldwide systematic reviews of literature on patient-mediated practitioner-mediated delays, identifying may influence these. Across sites, non-recognition symptom seriousness is main...
Objectives: To appraise findings from studies examining the impact of computers on primary care consultations.
SUMMARY The largest recorded outbreak of foodborne botulism in the United Kingdom occurred June 1989. A total 27 patients was affected; one patient died. Twenty-five had eaten brand hazelnut yoghurt week before onset symptoms. This contained conserve sweetened with aspartame rather than sugar. Clostridium botulinum type B toxin detected a blown can conserve, opened and unopened cartons yoghurt, faecal specimen. Cl. subsequently cultured from both Investigations indicated that processing...
Many studies have found that people with cancer value family support. Feminist work suggests women carry most responsibility for practical and emotional support in families, but few qualitative explicitly incorporate a gender perspective. We undertook secondary analysis of in-depth interviews 33 married or cohabiting respondents colorectal the UK to compare men women's accounts ‘spousal’ Both described vital role their partners played providing Mutual reciprocity were also key features...
People with colorectal cancer have impaired quality of life (QoL). We investigated what factors were most highly associated it. Four hundred and ninety-six people completed questionnaires about QoL, functioning, symptoms, co-morbidity, cognitions personal social factors. Disease, treatment co-morbidity data abstracted from case notes. Multiple linear regression identified modifiable unmodifiable independently predictive global (EORTC-QLQ-C30). Of factors, female sex (P<0.001), more...
Failure to establish meaningful and effective transition for undergraduates can lead academic underachievement. Student engagement represents a key component of student success. This study sought investigate the impact bespoke programme featuring wide range innovative, student-centred activities on enhancing students’ with educationally practices through examining relations others, learning discipline.

Most lung cancers present symptomatically, but the pathway to diagnosis in primary care can be complex and is poorly understood. Significant event audit (SEA) a quality improvement technique widely used UK general practice.To gain insights into diagnostic process for cancer, drawn from analysis of SEA documents.Qualitative SEAs 92 practices North England Cancer Network.Participating were provided with standardised electronic template asked undertake significant related most recent cancer...
An outbreak of Salmonella dublin infection occurred in England and Wales October to December 1989. Forty-two people were affected, mainly adults, most lived south-east England. Microbiological epidemiological investigations implicated an imported Irish soft unpasteurized cows' milk cheese as the vehicle infection. A case-control study showed a statistically significant association between consumption suspect (p = 0.001). was subsequently isolated from cheeses obtained manufacturer's...
Patients diagnosed with cancer in the context of an emergency presentation (EP) have poorer outcomes. It is often assumed that such patients present to department without consulting their general practitioner (GP). Little work has been done identify primary care involvement before hospital attendance. Participating practices completed a significant event audit (SEA) report for last patient as result EP. Accounts were synthesised and qualitative approach analysis undertaken. SEAs 222...
Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) provides opportunities for improved cost savings, but in the UK, implementation is patchy and a variety of service models are use. The slow uptake UK Europe due to number clinical, financial logistical issues, including concern about patient safety. measurement experience data commonly used inform commissioning decisions, these focus on functional aspects services fail examine relational care.

A hallmark of the research experience is encountering difficulty and working through those challenges to achieve success. This ability essential being a successful scientist, but replicating such in teaching setting can be difficult.

Students participate genome annotation, generating gene models using multiple lines experimental evidence. Our...
