Journal ArticleDOI
Changing demographics of spinal cord injury over a 20-year period: a longitudinal population-based study in Scotland.
Euan J. McCaughey,Mariel Purcell,Alan N. McLean,Matthew Fraser,A Bewick,Robert Borotkanics,Robert Borotkanics,David B. Allan +7 more
TL;DR: The suggestion that demographic profiles in SCI are subject to change is supported, in this population, of particular concern is the increasing number of older patients and those with high level tetraplegia, due to their increased care needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of pleural effusion: an evaluation of the new Olympus LTF semiflexible thoracofiberscope and comparison with Abram's needle biopsy.
TL;DR: The Olympus LTF semiflexible fiberoptic thoracoscope combines features of both instruments, having a solid body and a flexible terminal section, and was evaluated for ease of use and compared diagnostic yield with closed needle biopsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of stimulation patterns for FES-cycling using measures of oxygen cost and stimulation cost.
Kenneth J. Hunt,Kenneth J. Hunt,C. Ferrario,Stan Grant,B. Stone,Alan N. McLean,Matthew Fraser,David B. Allan +7 more
TL;DR: Oxygen cost and stimulation cost measures both allow discrimination between the efficacy of different muscle activation patterns during constant-power FES-cycling, and may find utility in the adjustment of stimulation patterns for achievement of optimal cycling performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
High resolution computed tomography in asthma
TL;DR: High resolution computed tomography has an established role in the investigation of diffuse parenchymal lung disease and bronchiectasis and the main disadvantages in the application of HRCT scanning in humans are radiation dose, the complexity of HR CT data analysis for the more complex edge finding algorithms, and technical problems over selection of phantoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Scottish multi-centre prospective study of bronchoscopy for bronchial carcinoma and suggested audit standards.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the variety of techniques and also the levels of histocytological yield and patient satisfaction that can be achieved and it is hoped that centres will adopt the methods that are shown to achieve the highest standards.
