Dataset of the Eczema Monitoring Online randomised controlled trial
No full textThe objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of weekly patient-reported symptom monitoring on participants’ outcomes and to inform the design of future eczema trials on the optimum frequency of outcome assessments.
Electronic patient-reported outcome measures were used. All trial processes occurred online, including participant recruitment, eligibility screening, consent, randomisation and data collection through the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap©, Vanterbilt University), which is a secure web platform for managing trial data. Recruitment took place through internet-based methods, mainly social media. Individuals who clicked on the advert link were directed to the study website at www.emostudy.org2, which included study aims, eligibility criteria and full participant information. Individuals interested in taking part enrolled through the website. Upon providing informed consent electronically and completing eligibility checks, participants were randomised. After enrolment, participants received an automated welcome email explaining the frequency of data collection, according to their randomised allocation. Email reminders were sent after follow-up questionnaires were overdue by 5 days and 7 days and if still incomplete, a final text reminder with a weblink to the questionnaires was sent

Cross-sectional study of owners’ knowledge and approaches to colic in working equids in Honduras
No full textIn Honduras , many families are reliant on working equids for their livelihood . The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and approaches to colic used by owners of working equids in Honduras. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Spanish using semi-structured, open-ended questions on use of the horse, owner's owners’ knowledge of colic, and treatments used
Being a PPI representative: what is it like?
Get PDFI have a personal and professional background in healthcare and when I retired, I wanted to find activities to keep me engaged. I was told about a Patient and Public Involvement group at the University of Nottingham and joined in 2013. Since then, I have been involved in supporting a number of studies, but in 2015 a professor asked for someone to take on a co-applicant role on a new study exploring the management of medicines for those seriously ill and dying at home. This commentary sets out the ways in which I have been involved and how this experience has been for me.
Since taking on this role I have worked as part of the study team, alongside academics and clinicians to develop the study protocol, gain ethical approval, support data collection and help write the final report. Some of the key challenges for me have been to be involved in data analysis and report my interpretations to the rest of the research team, to help organise and deliver engagement events and to speak up for the ‘patient and public’ in team discussions. While initial set up for payment of my role was a particular area of complexity, I have enjoyed being involved in a research study as a co-applicant and I am keen to encourage other PPI representatives and researcher teams to undertake this kind of engagement in the future
Self-assembly of a strapped linear porphyrin oligomer on HOPG
No full textPolymeric structures based on porphyrin units exhibit a range of complex properties, such as nanoscale charge transport and quantum interference effects, and have the potential to act as biomimetic materials for light-harvesting and catalysis. These functionalities are based upon the characteristics of the porphyrin monomers, but are also emergent properties of the extended polymer system. Incorporation of these properties within solid-state devices requires transfer of the polymers to a supporting substrate, and may require a high-degree of lateral order. Here we show that highly ordered self-assembled structures can be formed via a simple solution deposition protocol; for a strapped linear porphyrin oligomer adsorbed on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate. Two distinct molecule-molecule interactions are observed to drive the formation of two molecular phases (‘Interdigitated’ and ‘Bridge-stabilised’) characterised by scanning tunnelling microscopy, providing information on the unit cell dimensions and self-assembled structure. The concentration dependence of these phases is investigated, and we conclude that a bridge-stabilised phase is the thermodynamically stable structure at room temperature
