Aggression on haemodialysis units : a mixed method study
(2014-08-15)
BACKGROUND: Aggression on haemodialysis units is a growing problem internationally that has received little research attention to date. Aggressive behaviour by patients or their relatives can compromise the safety and ...

Removal and rebound kinetics of cystatin C in high-flux hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration
(2014-07-07)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cystatin C is a 13.3 kD middle molecule of similar size to β2-microglobulin and a marker of GFR in CKD. This study aimed to determine cystatin C kinetics in hemodialysis to understand whether ...
'Complex' but coping : experience of symptoms of tuberculosis and health care seeking behaviours--a qualitative interview study of urban risk groups, London, UK
(2014-06-18)
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis awareness, grounded in social cognition models of health care seeking behaviour, relies on the ability of individuals to recognise symptoms, assess their risk and access health care (passive case ...
Visual performance and ocular abnormalities in deaf children and young adults : a literature review
(2014-06)
Visual defects are common in deaf individuals. Refractive error and ocular motor abnormalities are frequently reported, with hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and anomalies of binocular vision, all showing a greater prevalence ...
Development of a novel remote patient monitoring system : the advanced symptom management system for radiotherapy to improve the symptom experience of patients with lung cancer receiving radiotherapy
(2014-05-20)
BACKGROUND: The use of technology-enhanced patient-reported outcome measures to monitor the symptoms experienced by people with cancer is an effective way to offer timely care. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to (a) explore ...
Disease-specific predictive formulas for energy expenditure in the dialysis population
(2014-04-28)
OBJECTIVE: Metabolic rate is poorly understood in advanced kidney disease because direct measurement is expensive and time-consuming. Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are needed based on simple ...
Reversing the polarity of bipolar stimulation in deep brain stimulation for essential tremor : a theoretical explanation for a useful clinical intervention
(2014-01-02)
The quadripolar electrodes used for deep brain stimulation are designed to give flexibility in contact configuration, optimize therapeutic effect, and minimize side-effects. A patient with essential tremor did not tolerate ...
Movement speed is biased by prior experience
(2014-01-01)
How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show ...
