In the 4 year period (1988-91 there were nine cases of bacterial keratitis in five critically ill patients on an intensive care unit ('unit A'), all except one due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Many these had serious ocular complications requiring surgery and surviving left with significant visual deficits. One further case P aeruginosa occurred A April 1993. The problem ventilated is not unique this as a four three from additional units area have been treated.Predisposing factors established...

Introduction Relationships between exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and environmental factors such as temperature, humidity air pollution are not well characterised, due in part to oversimplification the assignment exposure estimates individuals populations. New developments miniature sensors mean that patients can now carry a personal quality monitor for long periods time they go about their daily lives. This creates potential capturing direct link individual...
Among 31 strains of coagulasc-ncgative staphylococcus (CNS) causing endocarditis in individual patients, 16 had MIC teicoplanin ≥8 mg/l (MIC50, 8; MIC90 range, 0·5–32 mg/l); and 24 MBC ≥ (MBC50, 32; MBC90 64; 4–128 mg/l). Greater sensitivity was shown to vancomycin 2; 4; 1–8 mg/l; MBC50 0·5–8 Teicoplanin-resistant CNS (MIC, 8 mg/l) were detected the anterior nares two three patients six nine staff, air, a cardiac surgery unit, other series clinical origin.

<b>Background:</b> Environmental exposures play a role in COPD exacerbations. Developments portable environmental sensors mean that patients can now carry personal monitor (PAM) as they go about their lives to capture direct link between individual activities, and health. We developed method of predicting exacerbations utilising long-term deployment PAMs improve disease management patients. <b>Methods:</b> 102 participants have been recruited. are given PAM for up six months, while keeping...
Background Chronic Obstructive Airway Disease (COPD) is marked by often severely debilitating exacerbations. Efficient patient-centric research approaches are needed to better inform health management primary-care. Aim The ‘COPE study’ aims develop a method of predicting COPD exacerbations utilising personal air quality sensors, environmental exposure modelling and electronic records through the recruitment patients from consenting GPs contributing Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)....
<b>Background:</b> Acute exacerbations of COPD are a major cause morbidity and mortality have heavy burden on healthcare resources. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has been shown to reduce hospital admissions improve quality life, but few studies investigated the effect PR exacerbation rate using routinely collected health records. <b>Methods:</b> Primary care data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) acute were combined determine effects one year before...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Traditionally, recruitment for health research involves clinicians identifying and then contacting potentially suitable participants. This can be both time-consuming labour intensive researchers. Databases of Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) used as a resource through which potential study participants approached but is often underutilised in spite previously being shown to effective (Horspool <i>et al</i>, 2013). For investigating the association between air...
