Understanding flucloxacillin prescribing trends and treatment non-response in UK primary care: a Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) study
No full textThe volume of prescribed antibiotics is associated with antimicrobial resistance and, unlike most other antibiotic classes, flucloxacillin prescribing has increased. We aimed to describe UK primary care flucloxacillin prescribing and factors associated with subsequent antibiotic prescribing as a proxy for non-response.Clinical Practice Research Datalink patients with acute prescriptions for oral flucloxacillin between January 2004 and December 2013, prescription details, associated Read codes and patient demographics were identified. Monthly prescribing rates were plotted and logistic regression identified factors associated with having a subsequent antibiotic prescription within 28 days.3 031 179 acute prescriptions for 1 667 431 patients were included. Average monthly prescription rates increased from 4.74 prescriptions per 1000 patient-months in 2004 to 5.74 (increase of 21.1%) in 2013. The highest prescribing rates and the largest increases in rates were seen in older adults (70+ years), but the overall increase in prescribing was not accounted for by an ageing population. Prescribing 500 mg tablets/capsules rather than 250 mg became more common. Children were frequently prescribed low doses and small volumes (5 day course) and prescribing declined for children, including for impetigo. Only 4.2% of new prescriptions involved co-prescription of another antibiotic. Age (<5 and ≥60 years), diagnosis of 'cellulitis or abscess' or no associated code, and 500 mg dose were associated with a subsequent antibiotic prescription, which occurred after 17.6% of first prescriptions.There is a need to understand better the reasons for increased prescribing of flucloxacillin in primary care, optimal dosing (and the need to co-prescribe other antibiotics) and the reasons why one in five patients are prescribed a further antibiotic within 4 weeks
Grandchildren of the revolution : sexuality, nation and Frank Ronan
No full textMestrado em Estudos InglesesEsta tese propõe-se a investigar expressões do discurso gay irlandês
contemporâneo na obra do autor irlandês Frank Ronan. O tratamento literário
de temas como a influência da Igreja Católica, a importância da célula familiar
irlandesa, ou a manifestação de posições políticas relacionadas com
nacionalismo e colonialismo nas suas obras será analisado, com vista a
examinar como estes e outros factores moldam a maneira como o discurso
homossexual é construído na república da Irlanda e no trabalho de Frank
Ronan em particular. Também será dada atenção a estereótipos nacionais e o
seu efeito na escrita de Frank Ronan.
ABSTRACT: This dissertation proposes an investigation of expressions of the contemporary
Irish gay discourse in the fiction of Irish author Frank Ronan. The literary
treatment of themes such as the influence of the Catholic Church, the
importance of the Irish family cell, or the manifestation of political views,
concerning nationalism and colonialism in the novels will be analysed, in order
to study how these and other factors shape the way that homosexual discourse
is constructed in the Republic of Ireland and in the work of Frank Ronan in
particular. Attention will also be given to Irish national stereotypes, and their
effect on Ronan’s writing
