Two principal mechanisms are thought to be responsible for Brugada syndrome (BS): (1) right ventricular (RV) conduction delay and (2) RV subepicardial action potential shortening. This in vivo high-density mapping study evaluated the repolarization properties of BS subjects.A noncontact array was positioned 18 patients 20 controls. Using a standard S(1)-S(2) protocol, restitution curves local activation time recovery interval were constructed determine maximal slopes. Significant regional...
Abstract Background Ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) determined by categorisation of component Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) metrics has been associated with reduced risk heart failure (HF). However, few studies have explored the relationship between changes in CVH from middle to older age and HF incidence. Aims We aim investigate association LS7 their impact on incidence men. Additionally, we explore whether scores were subsequent risk. Methods The British Regional Heart Study is a prospective...
Official reports of child maltreatment in Malaysia have persistently increased throughout the last decade. However there is a lack population surveys evaluating actual burden maltreatment, its correlates and consequences country. This cross sectional study employed 2 stage stratified cluster random sampling public primary schools, to survey 3509 ten twelve year old school children Selangor state. It aimed estimate prevalence parental physical emotional neglect teacher- inflicted...
Introduction: Ensuring all members of society can equally participate in research and the provision services is a challenging goal. Increased migration has been mirrored by media narratives social threat, leaving many migrants feeling differentiated distrustful mainstream society.Objectives: We explore how migrant ethnic minority populations be given opportunity to process. In this work, we iteratively jointly developed range engagement strategies that adopt an 'insider' approach; seeking...
Elder abuse and neglect (EAN) is a hidden public health challenge for Malaysia. This cross-sectional survey studied the awareness of EAN among 148 doctors nurses from two neighboring states in Malaysia using self-administered questionnaire exploring their knowledge, perceptions, practices, experience concerning EAN. Both demonstrated poor understanding signs exhibited misperceptions on reporting requirements. groups perceived as national burden it responsibility; but most felt they had not...
Background and Purpose: Research exploring the utility of cardiovascular health (CVH) its Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) components (body mass index, blood pressure [BP], glucose, cholesterol, physical activity, smoking, diet) for prevention stroke in older adults is limited. In British Regional Heart Study, we explored (1) prospective associations LS7 metrics composite CVH scores with, their impact on, middle age; (2) if change was associated with subsequent stroke. Methods: Men without disease were...
Abstract Objective Oral anticoagulants are one of the most frequently used medications. However, these drugs have a range side effects including potential life-threatening complications. Little is known regarding awareness its effect profile amongst patients in Pakistan. Therefore, aim this study was to assess knowledge oral anticoagulant therapy and among users. Results The mean age 48.9 ± 15.2 years. Median scores participants for warfarin were 48.7 (8.3–91.7) 10.3 (0.0–70.0) respectively....
BackgroundChronic viral hepatitis (CVH) is a leading contributor to the UK liver disease epidemic, with global migration from high prevalence areas (e.g., South Asia). Despite international guidance for testing high-risk groups in line elimination targets, there no consensus on how achieve this. The objectives of this study were assess following: (1) feasibility recruiting Asian migrants view an educational film CVH, (2) effectiveness promoting and increasing knowledge (3) methodological...
The 2010 Pediatric Research in Inpatient Settings survey stated that 44% of pediatric hospitals practiced family-centered rounds (FCRs). We aimed to study caregivers’ opinions FCRs and determine if there are demographic associations with these opinions. A cross-sectional caregivers who attended was conducted at a tertiary-care general pediatrics unit. contained Likert-type scale qualitative questions. Fisher’s exact test used associations. Only English proficient were included. Almost all...
Death has always been a central human concern. is transformative; for those left, therefore, the experience of grief and loss opens another world. The meaning not simply “Loss …” but “Intense sorrow caused by loved one (especially death)”. Grief price we pay love. deeper love, greater depth that follows loss. shape emotional pain; however, beings no longer constantly trip these levels in any unique order, nor do they each stage. This paper...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Chronic Viral Hepatitis (CVH) affects ˜0.5% of native UK population. However, endemicity varies world wide & previous studies show that ethnic minorities are likely to preserve the higher rates their region origin. The estimated prevalence chronic HBV HCV in Pakistan is >5% current Pakistani population >1.2 million. study aimed (1) characterise a local community within Surrey using DBS testing (2) test hypothesis 2nd generation immigrants (ie, those born UK)...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) is a new technology that allows respiratory physicians to sample peripheral nodules with increased accuracy compared conventional bronchoscopy. RAB an option for patients who are unable have CT-guided biopsy or those individuals require mediastinal staging and nodule in the same procedure. With implementation of lung cancer screening, demand work up pulmonary expected increase. <h3>Methods</h3> This single centre retrospective...
Critical-sized bone defects, as well delayed and non-union fractures, are unable to heal naturally without targeted intervention. Bone graft was the gold method in treating such conditions with potential deleterious disadvantages including immune rejection, persons needed for harvesting, increased pain morbidity, failure of healing large bony lesions. Recently, regenerative therapeutic strategies involving stem cells, microvesicles, biological scaffolds have shown promising results even...
<h3>Introduction and objectives</h3> The success of lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose CT (LDCT) depends critically on delivering timely, accurate radiology reports. Its anticipated widespread introduction will place a significant burden current thoracic radiologist capacity, mandating innovative solutions. We explored the role that trained radiographers, using computer-assisted nodule detection (CADe) software, might have in LCS reporting pathways. <h3>Methods</h3> 770 LDCTs...
Introduction: N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has been widely explored as a biomarker for improving cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification in populations of European ancestry. Evidence on whether NT-proBNP adds value to CVD prediction South Asians (SA) is limited. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that would improve and stroke-specific SA. Methods: In the London-based multi-ethnic Southall Brent Revisited study 1710 first generation SA were randomly recruited from...
