Search correlation between texture features in CT-PET 18 FDG and overexpression of PDL1 in non-small cell lung carcinomas during the inital staging. The hypothesis is that overexpression of PDL1is correlated with at least one texture feature among those selected. 84 CT-PET 18 FDG at the initial staging of a non small cell lung carcinoma (adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma), whose the biopsed site was the primitive site or the drainage lymphadenopathy, without previous treatment, were recruited and analyzed by a software allowing to estimate texture features.
This project evaluates the effectiveness of three intervention models for the prevention of mental health problems in people who have suffered a recent highly stressful event, through an experimental design, with a control group and random assignment of participants in each group . The preventive interventions that will be evaluated will be based on three different psychotherapeutic models: brief systemic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. It is expected to observe a significant reduction in post-traumatic and depressive symptoms, and an increase in subjective well-being and post-traumatic growth, compared to the control group. In addition, the moderating effect of psychological processes such as cognitive rumination, emotional self-regulation and coping strategies used in the relationship between the type of intervention and its results will be evaluated. If the hypotheses are confirmed, this study will allow the prevention of emotional distress associated with a highly stressful event, as well as the promotion of positive results, through empirically supported, low-cost strategies and with results that are capable of demonstrating their effectiveness.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the most common hospital acquired infection worldwide, and is most commonly associated with catheterisation of the bladder. Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) causes increased hospital costs, increased length of stay and increased mortality. This burden of disease is, in part, mediated by a lack of diagnostic and monitoring modalities for CAUTI. Both traditional and novel UTI diagnostic tests are susceptible to false positives associated with bacterial colonisation, and correlate poorly with clinically meaningful symptomatic CAUTI. As such, the current standard of care is reliant on clinical monitoring, which is susceptible to diagnostic delays, over and under treatment. Imperial College London have developed a wireless biosensor for continuous monitoring of catheter-urine biochemistry. This project aims to validate this biosensor and demonstrate it's potential for preemptive CAUTI diagnosis through continuous urinary biochemical monitoring.
This study was designed to investigate the outcome of free-flap reconstruction surgery following head and neck cancer resection between primary and recurrent head and neck cancer patients.
Percent agreement of vital signs monitoring between the experimental sensor and standard of care monitoring
prone flexed position in percutanous nephrolithotomy in comparsion with standard prone position. A randomized controlled trial.
Increased incidence of peri-radicular lesions have been reported in diabetic patients which has been implicated due to compromised immune response. Much research has been done on the pathogenesis and progression of this lesion in diabetic patients. Although there are few studies which focus on healing of periradicular lesions after nonsurgical root canal treatment. There is a lacunae in literature which highlights peri-radicular healing after nonsurgical root canal treatment in relation to Glycaemic control in diabetic patients measured in terms of HbA1c levels.
In recent years, there has been significant interest in dietary flavonoids (biologically active plant-derived compounds) as potential therapeutics. This is due to the capacity of flavonoids to enhance processes related to energy metabolism and cardiovascular health. We are interested in implementing a short-term supplementation regime (daily cocoa-flavanoid ingestion), in order to explore the possible beneficial effects of flavonoid-based interventions on responses to exercise. Hence, the objective of our study is to examine the impact of short term cocoa-flavanoid supplementation on processes related to energy use (oxygen utilisation). Our aim is to develop a novel intervention which improves cardiovascular health and enhances exercise tolerance.
The study has been carried out to determine diagnostic and therapeutic pathways in a group of HF diabetic patients and to verify whether the use of innovative antidiabetic therapies could modify echocardiographic parameters and influence cardiological therapy.
The study evaluates the role of contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CH-EUS) for the differentiation of the pancreatic cysts and their malignant potential.
