Liquid Biopsy for Early DiagNosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the HeAd and NeCk rEgion
The 5-year survival for Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) across all TNM stage groups is approximately 50%. Patients who are present with stage I & II disease have significantly better survival. When a patient presents to their general practitioner (GP) with symptoms suggestive of HNSCC, they may be …
Developing Advanced Neuroimaging for Clinical Evaluation of Autoimmune Encephalitis
Autoimmune encephalitis is brain inflammation caused by the immune system mistakenly reacting against proteins in the brain. The commonest form is called NMDAR-antibody encephalitis (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody encephalitis), a rare condition which mainly affects children and young people and causes difficulties in memory, thinking and mental health which can have …
Evaluation of High Dose Prednisolone Pharmacokinetics in the Acute and Chronic Setting
This is a pilot study to investigate serum prednisolone profiles in: Patients on high doses of prednisolone for any inflammatory disorder, both in the acute and chronic setting. Patients stepping up from or down to prednisolone therapy in association with a course of high dose methyl-prednisolone or dexamethasone. The study …
The PEACE (Posthumous Evaluation of Advanced Cancer Environment) Study
Historically, cancer research has been limited by sample acquisition in late stage disease, often restricted to single sites of disease with limited parallel clinical data collection in terms of prior therapy exposure. The PEACE study is intended to facilitate tissue donation from multiple tumour sites in the post-mortem setting and …
The GENPET Study - An Imaging Study of FCH-PET-CT in Men With Prostate Cancer and a BRCA Gene Mutation.
The aim of the study is to determine if PET-CT imaging (using contrast recommended in clinical guidelines) is superior to combined bone scan and MRI/CT of the abdomen & pelvis in detecting the increased incidence of metastasis (nodal/distant outside the pelvis) in men with prostatic carcinoma with germline BRCA mutations.
Living With Marfans and Your Aorta: Surgical Outcomes Study
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disease affecting the eyes, skeleton, heart and arteries. Despite MFS affecting multiple organ systems, cardiovascular manifestations are the most serious and life threatening. Approximately 80% of adult MFS patients will have a dilated aortic root by age 40 years with aortic aneurysm and dissection …
Volatile Non-Invasive Biomarkers of Epileptic Seizures
Breath and sweat samples will be collected from people who have been admitted to hospital after a potential seizure and analysed by the team. The researchers then hope to identify a pattern of small molecules that can distinguish seizures from other events, and perhaps determine the severity of the seizure.
Passive Dietary Intake Assessment Study
Currently, there is no accurate measurement of dietary intake. All current methodologies of assessing dietary intake have inaccuracy rates of 30 -70%. Accurate assessment of dietary intake is critical in understanding individual and population nutritional status and monitoring the effectiveness of public health interventions to maintain nutritional health. Estimating dietary …
PRIMER: Development of Daily Online Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Magnetic Resonance Image Guided Radiotherapy
In radiotherapy high-tech scans with x-rays (CT scans) are taken before and during treatment to locate the tumour and ensure the radiation is hitting the target. These x-rays expose patients to additional radiation and the quality of these scans is often poor which makes it difficult to distinguish tumour from …
Investigating Health Related Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Failure
To determine the quality of life of patients living with chronic respiratory failure and the impact interventions have on it.
