Professor John Waterlow CMG FRCP FRS in interview with Dr Max Blythe: Part 2
Full text linkAt the start of the second part of the interview Professor John Waterlow, professor of nutrition at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, talks about his time at Ben Platt's unit in The Gambia 1948-49 where he continued looking at liver metabolism. Here he investigated the enzyme pseudocholinesterase, and collaborated with John Walters investigating the role of fatty infiltration in liver fibrosis. Next, Professor Waterlow discusses his appointment as part-time lecturer and part-time MRC research worker at the University of the West Indies in 1951. He speaks of arriving at a partly built medical school, and his early experiences of teaching. He then outlines his research on kwashiorkor in infants during the early 1950s: measuring several enzymes in the liver of babies using the diver and microbalance, looking at DNA in cells in order to measure protein depletion, using radioactive phosphate to show deficiencies in oxidative phosphorylation levels in the liver, and collaborating with Ann Hill on the treatment of the disease. The interview moves on to Professor Waterlow's Tropical Metabolism Research Unit at the University of West Indies Medical School, established in 1954. He reflects on the contribution of various staff: Joan Stephen's biochemical research with divers and liver biopsies, Roger Smith's radioactive work using 42K to analyse whole body potassium in children, and Verity Wills' balance work and bung studies to investigate the ability of the system to absorb protein after the illness. He discusses the work of John Garrow (on electrolyte and nitrogen content of the body) and Robert Montgomery (on magnesium deficiency and plasma albumin), and the problems of obtaining MRC funding for native employees. The interview ends with Professor Waterlow reflecting on his position at the start of the 1960s; thinking about the issue of whole body protein turnover, and returning to England in 1961 to do isoptope work with Neuberger, who was to be a major influence in his later career

Validity of the Waterlow screening tool and risks for pressure injury in acute care
No full textObjectives: To assess the validity of the Waterlow screening tool in a cohort of internal medicine patients and to identify factors contributing to pressure injury.\ud
Design: Longitudinal cohort study\ud
Setting: A tertiary hospital in Brisbane, Australia\ud
Participants: 274 patients admitted through the Emergency Department or outpatient clinics and expected to remain in hospital for at least three days were included in the study. The mean age was 65.3 years.\ud
Interventions: Patients were screened on admission using the Waterlow screening tool. Every second day, their pressure ulcer status was monitored and recorded. \ud
Main outcome measures: Pressure ulcer incidence \ud
Results: Fifteen participants (5.5%) had an existing pressure ulcer and a further 12 (4.4%) developed a pressure ulcer during their hospital stay. Sensitivity of the Waterlow scale was 0.67, (95% CI: 0.35 to 0.88); specificity 0.79, (95% CI: 0.73 to 0.85); PPV 0.13, (95% CI: 0.07 to 0.24); NPV 0.98, (95% CI: 0.94 to 0.99). \ud
Conclusion: This study provides further evidence of the poor predictive validity of the Waterlow scale. A suitably powered randomised controlled trial is urgently needed to provide definitive evidence about the usefulness of the Waterlow scale compared with other screening tools and with clinical judgement.\u
