(2016-02-26)Many cultures encourage breastfeeding, yet formula milk is often given by choice in the UK. The Pakistani culture, however, exhibits high rates of breastfeeding as normal practice (1). The influence of the UK culture of ... -
Perceptions of Causes and Long Term Effects of Academic Underachievement in High IQ Adults
(2015-10-12)A great deal is known and has been written about the difficulties that high IQ children can experience in the classroom when their special educational needs are not met. Evidence suggests that these difficulties can result ... -
Perceptions of Pregnancy from the Seventeenth to Twentieth Century
(Palgrave, 2017-01-10)This multi-disciplinary collection brings together work by scholars from Britain, America and Canada on the popular, personal and institutional histories of pregnancy. It follows the process of reproduction from conception ... -
Perceptions regarding antimicrobial use and resistance among adult hospital patients in Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health (MOH) Hospitals.
(2020-12-01)Background: Education, a key strategy within antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASPs), has been mainly directed towards healthcare professionals and prescribers more than hospitalised patients. Aim: To examine patients’ ... -
Perceptions, behaviours and barriers towards exercise practices in inflammatory bowel disease
(2024-04-05)Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic disease affecting the digestive tract, has a significant impact on health-related quality of life. Pharmaceutical treatment is typically adopted, yet exercise is increasingly ... -
Perceptions, beliefs and behaviors of nutritional and supplementary practices in inflammatory bowel disease
(2022-02-03)Purpose: To gain insight into the behaviors, perceptions and beliefs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients nutritional and supplementary practices and also to explore perceptions and behaviors in relation to ... -
Perceptual distinction in an unsupervised neural network: implications for theories of category-specific deficits
(2000)There are many reports of patients who, after sustaining brain damage, exhibit a selective recognition deficit for certain categories of object. There has been much controversy as to whether this is informative about the ... -
The percutaneous absorption of soman in a damaged skin porcine model and the evaluation of WoundStat™ as a topical decontaminant
(2018-06-01)PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate a candidate haemostat (WoundStat™), down-selected from previous in vitro studies, for efficacy as a potential skin decontaminant against the chemical warfare agent pinacoyl ... -
Percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent versus coronary artery bypass grafting : A meta-analysis of patients with left main coronary artery disease
(2017-12-15)BACKGROUND: The relative efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES), in comparison to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) ... -
The percutaneous toxicokinetics of sulphur mustard in a damaged skin porcine model and the evaluation of WoundStat™ as a topical decontaminant
(2017-07-18)This study used a damaged skin, porcine model to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of WoundStat™ for decontamination of superficial (non-haemorrhaging), sulphur mustard-contaminated wounds. The dorsal skin of 12 female pigs ... -
