OBJECTIVES: Because the mortality rate is very low in thoracic surgery, its use as a quality discriminator is limited. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a candidate measure because it is associated with increased rates of morbidity...
External ventricular drainage (EVD) may be used for therapeutic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage to control intracranial pressure (ICP) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there is currently uncertainty regarding the...
OBJECTIVES: To measure the unit-level variation in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) incidence post-thoracic surgery over a contemporary 1-year period. Secondary aims include examining the associations with sex, age group, operation...

BACKGROUND: The dose of protamine required following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is often determined by the dose of heparin required pre-CPB, expressed as a fixed ratio. Dosing based on mathematical models of heparin clearance...

BACKGROUND: Tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) signalling mediates the cell death and inflammatory effects of TNF-α. OBJECTIVE: The current clinical trial investigated the effects of a nebulised TNFR1 antagonist...
Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS) disorders are a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous group of conditions characterised by multiple joint contractures (arthrogryposis), pterygia (joint webbing) and other developmental...
Abstract: Bayesian optimisation is a sample-efficient search methodology that holds great promise for accelerating drug and materials discovery programs. A frequently-overlooked modelling consideration in Bayesian optimisation...
The key concepts of digital forensic investigation in cloud computing are examination and investigation. Cybercriminals target cloud-based web applications due to presence of vulnerabilities. Forensic investigation is a complex...
