Caring for Obese Children- A change in Paradigm (2017)

Caring for Obese Children- A change in Paradigm (2017)

Doyle, S; Cahill, D; Smyth, M; Murphy, S

Abstract:

Childhood Obesity is a problem of epidemic proportions. The causes are complex and treatment results are variable with much research ongoing. We analysed the initial assessment forms of a group of patients attending the W82GO! Healthy Lifestyle service at The Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street to look at the population and their specific needs. Our analysis revealed a high proportion of emotional and behavioural problems along with bullying. This group of patients are complex and a multi-disciplinary team approach is essential in their treatment.

Evolution of DWI signal abnormalities after transient ischemic attack and minor ischaemic stroke (2011)

Abstract:

Background: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signal abnormality after transient ischaemic attack (TIA) predicts early stroke, independently of other risk markers included in the ABCD3-I score. Early stroke recurrence detected on follow-up DWI after the acute-phase DWI may identify patients at high risk for subsequent clinicalstrokesstroke, cognitive impairment, and seizures. We aimed to determine the evolution of acute DWI lesions and rate of new ischaemic lesion (NIL) occurrence on follow-up DWI after TIA and minor stroke. Methods: Early DWI-detected stroke recurrence (defined as NILs on follow-up DWI one week after acute DWI) was identified in a prospective MRI study of TIA and minor stroke patients. Presence/absence of DWI lesion(s), topography, clinical variables, and clinical stroke recurrence by day 7 and 90 were recorded. Results: 87 patients were included, 65 TIA and 22 minor stroke. Study patients’ mean age was 68 years [Standard deviation 6], 64% male, mean ABCD2 score 4, ...

Pre-Hospital Fast Positive Cases Identified by DFB Ambulance Paramedics – Final Clinical Diagnosis (2016)

Abstract:

Ischaemic stroke clinical outcomes are improved by earlier treatment with intravenous thrombolysis. An existing pathway at the Mater University Hospital for assessment of suspected acute stroke in the Emergency Department was updated, aiming to shorten ‘door to needle time’. This study examines the final clinical diagnosis of Dublin Fire Brigade Ambulance Paramedic identified Face Arm Speech Test (FAST) positive patients presenting to the Emergency Department over a 7 month period. A retrospective analysis was carried out of 177 consecutive FAST positive patients presenting between March and November 2014. The final clinical diagnosis was acute stroke in 57.1% (n=101) of patients. Of these, 76 were ischaemic strokes of whom 56.5% (n=43) were thrombolysed. In the pre-hospital setting Ambulance Paramedics can identify, with reasonable accuracy, acute stroke using the FAST test. Over half of the ischaemic stroke patients presenting via this pathway can be treated with intravenous t...
