How should academic staff engage in outreach with communities outside of the university? The need academics to answer this question has intensified UK given changing priorities job roles, shaped by increasing institutional concern for widening participation, graduate employability and research impact an era austerity high tuition fees. While university professionals, such as those have access a range networks, resources support mechanisms activity, often face series profession-specific...
Abstract Influenza C is not included in the annual seasonal influenza vaccine, and has historically been regarded as a minor respiratory pathogen. However, recent work highlighted its potential role cause of pneumonia infants. We performed nasopharyngeal or nasal swabbing and/or serum sampling ( n = 148) Lancaster, UK, over winter 2014–2015. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we obtain seropositivity 77%. By contrast, only 2 individuals, both asymptomatic adults, were...
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Deep SSI, or prosthetic joint infection (PJI), is revision surgery involving longer operative times higher rates, length of stay (LoS) high costs in addition to the catastrophic effect on patient. The surveillance SSI important for patient decision making, identification outliers support maximising focussed improvement. This paper reports findings second Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) national survey...
Objectives Palliative care needs to embrace research guide service development and effective symptom management. Healthcare professionals often feel is too burdensome for patients who have poor performance status or are near the end of life. Many studies exclude these groups from participating. We aimed identify whether specialist palliative inpatients would wish take part in preference varies according study design, demographics, diagnosis, prognosis. Methods 100 two National Health Service...
Nasopharyngeal swabs were taken from volunteers attending a general medical practice and hospital in Lancaster, UK, at Lancaster University, the winter of 2014-2015. 51 selected based on high RNA yield allocated to deep sequencing pools as follows: patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; asthmatics; adults no respiratory symptoms; feverish symptoms presence antibodies against influenza C; paediatric (2 pools); C infection pools), giving total 9 pools. Illumina was performed,...
ABSTRACT The genome of human rhinovirus A22 (HRV-A22) was assembled by deep sequencing RNA samples from nasopharyngeal swabs. is 8.7% divergent the HRV-A22 reference strain over its full length, and it only second full-length sequence for HRV-A22. new designated HRV-A22/Lancaster/2015.
ABSTRACT The genome of human papillomavirus type 23 (HPV-23; family Papillomaviridae , genus Betapapillomavirus species 2 23) was assembled by deep sequencing from nasopharyngeal swabs. is 2.7% divergent over its full length the single complete HPV-23 in GenBank (accession no. U31781). We named strain HPV-23/Lancaster/2015.
ABSTRACT The genome sequence of human papillomavirus type 20 (HPV-20; family Papillomaviridae , genus Betapapillomavirus species 1 20) was assembled by deep sequencing from nasopharyngeal swabs. is 0.37% divergent over its full length the single complete HPV-20 in GenBank (U31778). We named strain HPV-20/Lancaster/2015.
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Overwhelming demand for trauma services with increasing emergency department (ED) attendances, has increased pressure on fracture clinics in many units, this exceeding capacity. Virtual (VFCs) have been shown to be safe and cost-effective specialties. Optimal treatment of 5th metatarsal base fractures remains controversial. Complications include delayed union painful mal/non-union. Surgical fixation enable faster return sport, lower...
