bullet

Understand epidemiology and prognosis of patients with postoperative delirium

  1. Understand epidemiology and prognosis of patients with postoperative delirium
bullet

bullet

Develop treatment strategies for prevention and treatment of postoperative delirium

  1. derstand epidemiology and prognosis of patients with postoperative delirium

Delirium is a common and devastating complication after surgery especially in older patients. It is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, longer hospitalization and higher health care costs. Delirium is a multi-factorial syndrome with unclear mechanisms. There is currently no approved pharmacological therapy for the prevention and treatment of delirium in the postoperative period. Non-pharmacological approach should target potentially modifiable risk factors as sleep deprivation, pain, hearing and visual impairment, immobility and overuse of medications associated with delirium.   ]

 

Dr C Pomfrett  - "The Vagus Nerve - a window on Consciousness and Disease"

 

[The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) connects our brainstem to the body, facilitating monitoring and control of many automatic functions; the vagus electrically links our gut, lungs and heart to the base of the brain in an evolutionarily-ancient circuit, similar between mammals and also seen in birds, reptiles, and amphibians.  In many ways the vagus can be compared to the USB or Firewire connection of your computer.  The vagus comprises a major part of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system, contributing to the motor control of important physiological functions such as heart rate and gut motility.  The vagus is also sensory, relaying protective visceral information leading to reflexes like cough and indication of lung volume. The vagus has been described as a neural component of the immune reflex.  By monitoring changes in the level of control exerted by the vagus, apparent as beat by beat changes of heart rate, it is possible to indirectly view the effect of pharmaceuticals and disease on brainstem function and neural processes underlying consciousness.  The paired vagus nerves of humans have different functions, and stimulation of the left vagus has been shown to be a therapeutic treatment for epilepsy, and may modulate the perception of pain.]

 

Dr N Stanley - "What's new in sleep?"

 

[Good sleep is important for us all but especially the healthcare environment from its importance in keeping patients well and helping them get better to the part in can play in stopping Doctors killing patients, or killing themselves. This talk will provide an update on the latest findings concerning the benefits of sleep to good physical, mental and emotional health and may just help you and your patients live longer. ]

Symposium "Teratogens, pre and postnatal"

Ms S Fleischer - "The challenges of parenting in FAS"

Dr A Fryer - "Alcohol embryopathy - a role for the clinical geneticist?"

[Dr Fryer will discuss the fact that the spectrum of alcohol embryopathy disorders are diagnoses of exclusion. The clinical geneticist is often asked to see these children to try and exclude other conditions. This talk will explore the main conditions that enter the differential diagnosis.]

Dr R Mukherjee - "FASD, is it something paediatricians need to know about?"

[This talk will look at the prevalence and increase in alcohol consumption in young women as well as the risks this brings to the foetus from prenatal exposure. It will look at different diagnostic methods, showing examples of actual cases before highlighting the difficulties and behavioural presentations commonly seen in this group of children.]

Dr R Kumsta - "Long-term consequences of early institutional deprivation – overview of findings from the English and Romanian Adoptees (ERA) study"

[The English and Romanian Adoptees (ERA) study is a longitudinal study investigating children adopted from highly depriving Romanian institutions into the UK in the early 1990s. The ERA study is a natural experiment that allows the examination of the effects of sudden, precisely timed, and radical change from a profoundly depriving environment to a somewhat above-average one in the adoptive families. Over the past 15 years, the effects of early institutional deprivation on a wide range of developmental outcomes have been studied. This talk will give an overview of the findings, with a focus on psychological impairments, effects on brain structure and function, and the moderating role of genetic factors.]

SOCIETY
Joint Meeting with the Royal Society of Medicine Symposium "Evolving Issues and Controversies in Medical Practice"

Dr R Zimmern - “Genomics & public health: What the future really holds”

 

[Dr Zimmern will focus on the impact of genomic science and personalised medicine on the practice of public health.  The hype will be distinguished from the reality.  Issues of how public health, conventionally a collectivist activity, will need to change to adapt to a more individualistic approach to medical practice will be discussed.]

 

Professor Sir Nicholas Wright - "Stem cell research: who are the beneficiaries?"

 

[With the establishment of human embryonic stem cell lines, 'therapeutic cloning', the process of creating genetically identical cells for therapeutic purposes becomes possible: 'reproductive cloning' - creating an individual organism that is genetically identical - could be a possibility.  However, the derivation of such cells from human embryos raises the question of who will benefit from this research.  There are several potential beneficiaries - and the patient is only one of these.]

 

Professor Sir Michael Rawlins - “Pitfalls in assessing the benefits and harms of therapeutic interventions”

 

[The assessment of the benefits and harms of therapeutic interventions requires the totality of the evidence base to be considered. This includes observational, as well as experimental, studies; and requires the exercise of both scientific skill and judgement if patients are to be treated appropriately. There is no place for the thoughtless use of 'hierarchies' of evidence.]

SECTION OF ODONTOLOGY
Annual General Meeting and Joint Symposium with NW Branches of the BDA Hospitals Group and Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK) "Core CPD for the Dental Team"

Professor M A O Lewis - "Watch Out, Bugs About! The basis of decontamination in the dental surgery"

[The recognition that potentially pathogenic infections may be transferred from patient to healthcare worker or vice-versa or from patient to patient during the delivery of dental healthcare has resulted in the need for all members of the dental team to have an appropriate appreciation of potential hazards in the clinic and the need for adequate infection control.  This lecture will describe the range of bacteria, viruses and proteins that may be encountered within the mouth and represent potential risk of infection.

An outline of the practices and procedures recommended for dentistry, in particular those aspects of decontamination described in HTM 01-05, will be presented.  In addition the talk will give an overview of other practical aspects of infection control, such as hand washing, aerosols, impressions, inoculation injury and single-use items.]

SECTION OF PATHOLOGY

Dr R D G Neely -
"Familial hypercholesterol-aemia: Guidelines and Strategies for Identification and Treatment"
 

[Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an inherited metabolic disorder with an estimated population prevalence of 1 in 500 in the UK, or approximately 120,000 cases in the UK, of whom probably less than 15000 have been diagnosed.  In affected individuals, concentrations of harmful (atherogenic) LDL-cholesterol in the blood are typically doubled from birth leading to early development of advanced atherosclerosis.  Without treatment, affected men will frequently develop symptoms of coronary heart disease before 40 years and half will be symptomatic by the age of 50 years.  In women a similar proportion are symptomatic by 60 years.  The clinical expression of FH is affected by dietary and lifestyle factors and those with FH living in the North of England may do particularly badly as the problem is exacerbated by the high content of saturated fatty acids in the diet and the high prevalence of smoking.

 

Most individuals with FH have an alteration in the LDL receptor gene, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait which means that each of their first degree relatives (parents, siblings and children) have a 50% chance of also being affected.  With early intervention and careful follow up to ensure concordance with treatment the excess coronary heart disease risk and premature mortality associated with FH can effectively be eliminated. The NICE FH Guideline (CG71) recommends genetic testing of relatives of individuals known to have FH which is the most cost-effective strategy for early identification of affected individuals, leading to effective treatment through diet, lifestyle interventions and cholesterol lowering drugs.  Despite evidence in its favour, this strategy has not yet been commissioned in England, however programmes have been funded in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.  ]

Dr J Palmer - "COSBART; repetition, realism and safety"

[Resuscitation skills retention after training is poor at six months and almost nil at 12 months.  ALS courses relate to trauma or coronary vascular disease related arrest.  Anaesthetic simulation centres offer ‘one-shot’ intensive training sessions. 

To address these drawbacks we created a cheap resuscitation skills course aimed specifically at anaesthetic crises, repeated annually, incorporating emerging algorithms, leadership skills, local adverse incidents, and local equipment and logistical factors.]

SECTION OF PSYCHIATRY
Symposium "Mind the gap: collaborative approaches to mental health across primary and secondary care"

Professor S Gilbody - "Working collaboratively at the primary-secondary care interface: what works?"

[Improvements in the management of common mental disorders (CMDs) requires primary and secondary care services to work together in a coherent manner.  There are several ways in which they might do this.  In order to decide which, we started several years ago to make sense of a complex research literature using various forms of ‘evidence synthesis’. 

We have considered and rejected a number of options, including: consultation liaison, pure GP education and the wholesale referral of large populations of people with CMDs into secondary care.  The most effective and efficient method seems to be ‘collaborative care’.  Few people had heard of this approach five years ago, but there is an increasing recognition that this is the most promising model of working at the primary care interface.

 

Simon Gilbody has, with colleagues, produced some the most widely-cited summaries of this evidence.  He works as a Psychiatrist and is Professor of Health Services Research at the University of York.  He will provide an overview of collaborative care and the seminal studies that could inform UK practice for the next ten years.]

 

Dr L Gask - "Implementing a collaborative approach to the management of depression at a local level"

Dr T Tasker - "Working with Primary Care to improve the physical health of SMI patients"

[This talk will initially look at the background including NICE guidance, QOF. hen focus on the working group that I have chaired in Salford with all key stakeholders represented. Key themes of the group highlighted.

The group has overseen the development of guidelines for inpatient & outpatient psychiatry and general practice. A brief overview of the training that has occurred for Primary and Secondary Care. Issues that have arisen re communication between Primary and Secondary Care, potential solutions and also how to engage successfully with SMI patients and their carers including a survey undertaken by our user representative.]

SECTION OF  PATHOLOGY & MEDICINE
Joint Meeting - Pathology to host

Dr T Baglin - "New anticoagulants: from disease-focussed to patient-focussed care"

[2011 will mark the beginning  of a new era of anticoagulant therapy. Prevention and treatment of thrombosis are central to clinical care in modern medicine with prevention of hospital-acquired thrombosis at the top of the patient safety agenda and more than 1 in 100 of the general UK population now taking oral anticoagulant drugs. The new anticoagulant drugs offer the promise of improved efficacy, ease of use and reduced bleeding complications. However, the expanding repertoire of oral and parenteral agents will result in an unprecedented educational need for doctors, nurses and pharmacists as well as implications for patient education, concordance and compliance and new issues relating to clinical management and safety. The presentation will answer the following questions:
 
bullet

what is the 'gold standard of care' with heparin and warfarin and just how good are they?
 

bullet

what do we want from new anticoagulants?
 

bullet

what is going to be available?
 

bullet

how do the new drugs work and what is the implication of different mechanisms for treatment choice, dosing, bleeding risk, interruption and reversal of therapy?]
