SECTION
OF PSYCHIATRY
Symposium "It works, but it
is not CBT' - the new wave in psychological treatment"
Professor E A Guthrie
- "Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy"
[The
talk will describe the basic model of
psychodynamic-interpersonal therapy and its evidence base.
The model was developed by Dr. R.F. Hobson and has been
evaluated in several large trials.]
Mr A Fairbanks -
"Schema Therapy - a vehicle
for working with complex patients"
[The
lecture will begin with an outline description of Dr Jeffrey
Young's integrative, CBT based, model of psychotherapy
including the most recent evidence and developments.
Mr Fairbanks will then go on
to advocate the model as a structure for those who wish to
work integratively whilst acknowledging the need for
structure in their work with the most complex individuals.
Finally , components of the model and approach will be
discussed as being potentially useful tools for
psychiatrists to use in their formulations and ongoing
contact with those whose personality difficulties are a key
factor in their problems. ]

Symposium
Professor I Gilmore
-
“The
increasing national and international impact of alcohol
abuse”
[Alcohol
misuse is in the top three causes of premature, preventable
death both in the UK and worldwide, tragically often in
young people. We need urgent implementation of
evidence-based strategies to tackle the escalating problems
for individuals, society and the NHS.]
Professor F
Shanahan
-
"From Probiotics to
Pharmabiotics"
[Mankind
has used microbes to do everything from cleaning up oil
slicks to making life-sustaining drugs. Humans have evolved
over millennia with microbes which are critical for optimal
development and health maintenance. Manipulation of the
microbiota in the gut with probiotics is a conceptually
appealing strategy but not all probiotics are the same and
evidence for efficacy in diseases is strain-specific.
However, the new science of pharmabiotics opens up the very
real prospect of bio-prospecting in the gut, whereby
host-microbe-dietary interactions can be manipulated or
‘mined’ for the next generation of drugs ranging from novel
anti-microbials to anti-inflammatories. This ‘bugs to drug’
programme of discovery is already underway and paying
dividends. It offers a new challenge for both the functional
food and pharmaceutical sectors of industry in partnership
with academia.]
Annual General Meeting and Presidential
Address
by:Dr K Moriarty CBE
-
"Abdominal
pain - surgical or medical?"
[The
diagnosis and management of patients with abdominal pain are
at the critical surgical and medical interface of clinical
care. This interactive talk will describe the different
types of surgical, and also the less well recognised
medical, causes of abdominal pain. Dr
Moriarty will also emphasise the need for appropriate
initial referral in A&E, joint care and invite debate on
which patients should be cared for on surgical wards and
which on medical, in an attempt to optimise care and reduce
diagnostic errors. Contributions from a range of clinicians,
junior and senior, especially surgeons, physicians and A&E
specialists, will be especially welcome.

Professor C Ucer -
"Restoring missing anterior teeth with implants - what

[Although,
implant placement in fresh extraction sockets is
controversial, there is accumulating evidence to show that
this could be an optimum solution for the replacement of
anterior teeth. The advantages include shorter treatment,
one less surgical stage, preservation of hard and soft
tissue, and optimum aesthetics. This presentation will
discuss the options available for replacement of anterior
teeth and consider the evidence for and against immediate
implant placement and present the results of a 5 year
multi-centre trial of implant placement in fresh extraction
sockets.]

Dr P E Klapper - "The use of molecular methods in virus
infection - diagnosis and management"
[Diagnostic
virology used to be considered an academic pastime of
little direct clinical relevance or benefit. The
aphorism was “by the time the virus laboratory reports
results on the specimens we send to them the patient is
either dead or has got better and gone home”. Over the
last 30 years great progress has been made in the
development of rapid diagnostic methods particularly in
the field of molecular diagnostics. Diagnostic virology
has been transformed into the discipline of clinical
virology where rapid diagnostic testing, intervention
with antiviral drugs, and monitoring of antiviral
resistance is the norm. This talk will chart some of the
events of the last 30 years and describe some of the
current and future use of molecular diagnostics in the
management of patients with viral infection (there might
even be a mention or two of ‘swine flu’!).]

[Our work has defined the injury
response of the CNS in terms of glial and mesodermal
reactions. The roles of transforming growth factor-ßs (TGF-ßs) have been particularly studied by us, with a
view to devising a pharmacological strategy to prevent
scarring and attenuate axon growth inhibition in the CNS,
thereby creating a more conducive environment for the
regrowth of severed axons.
Specifically, in this lecture
I will: (a) describe
the natural history of glial-collagen scarring in the
cerebral cortex; (b)
describe the scar-related axon growth inhibitory signalling
cascade; (c) demonstrate the chronological changes in the
profile of growth factor/cytokines after injury of the
cerebral hemisphere; (d) show the suppression of inflammation/CS-PG
deposition, and inhibition of glial/collagen scarring in the
adult rat cerebrum and spinal cord by administering cytokine
antagonists, such as transforming growth factor
(TGF-ß) antibodies, and the TGF-ß
neutralising proteoglycan, Decorin; and
(e)
allude to the inverse relationship between axon regeneration
and scarring.]

[The
influence of maternal stress and depression on the developing

the high prevalence of depression in women of child-bearing age
and its myriad of effects on the child. Dr Rahman and his group

cases. He will review the
historical evidence for benefit of intervention in terms
of hypertension and renal function. Then
he will look in detail at the
ASTRAL trial and discuss the implications of these very
convincing negative data in terms of future management
of renal artery stenosis.]
Dr D J
West - "Direct referral to Interventional Radiology"
[Interventional
radiology is changing the way many common conditions are
managed. Using as an example the modern management of venous
insufficiency and varicose veins this talk demonstrates the
recent rapid translocation of radiologists from a dark room
to the bedside. Ultrasound guided endovenous treatments
enable patients to be safely and more cheaply managed in
doctors’ offices, without general anaesthesia, without cuts,
with excellent outcomes and immediate return to work and
play.]

Mini symposium "Observer error"
Professor D Manning - "Some
Cognitive and Perceptual Aspects
of Medical Image Interpretation"
[The
scope of this talk is to look at the nature of the radiological
task as a problem-solving, visual-reasoning activity and
consider the models which help in understanding how it is
carried out.
A model for interpretation of
radiological images assumes a pattern of ‘search and detect
–recognise – decide’ and been successful in explaining
observations on the development of expertise in the radiological
task. However, recently experimental evidence has thrown some
doubt into the precise ordering of the perceptual/cognitive
processes described. There is some evidence to suggest that
decision-making takes place very quickly at an early stage of
the activity and the search component, at least in experts, is
less dominant than was once thought. This has some implications
for the way we might model the recognition process when it is
applied to computer aids to radiology interpretation.

infectious (acquired) forms. Prions appear to replicate by
protein misfolding, probably by a template mechanism, which may
also operate in other disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease
and Parkinson’s disease. Professor Ironside will review the
main forms of human prion diseases and discuss the problems
associated with variant CJD in terms of secondary transmission
via blood and blood products. Further research is required to
develop treatments and a screening test for all forms of CJD.
Continuing surveillance is essential to monitor both primary and
secondary cases of prion disease in the UK.]

The challenges faced by surgical training will
be discussed in the context of continuing change. The
traditional, ‘apprenticeship’ model has been replaced by
structured, competency-based programmes but, despite the
theoretical advantages of this approach, there is widespread
apprehension about the quality of surgical training. The talk
will attempt to present a vision for the future that
encompasses the best of both traditionalist and modern
approaches, to ensure that a future generation of surgeons are
not merely trained to be competent, but that they do, in fact
‘aspire to excellence’.]

John F Wilkinson Memorial Lecture
Dr G Poste - "The
convergence of clinical medicine, engineering and computing:
new horizons in healthcare delivery"
[The
unprecedented pace of technological change, intensifying
pressures to demonstrate the value of healthcare
interventions and volatile financial and political climates
pose major strategic, financial and organizational
challenges for all involved in healthcare delivery.
Collectively,
these forces will radically reshape the environment for
demonstrating value in a cost-constrained environment and
present conflicting clinical and economic demands from
governments, physicians, patients and society. Meeting these
disruptive challenges will require politicians,
research-intensive pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies, and healthcare providers to build new alliance
networks to link previously separate sectors such as
therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices, computing and
telecommunications.]
