Establishing quality indicators for prehospital advanced airway management: a modified nominal group technique consensus process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Prehospital advanced airway management is a complex intervention composed of numerous steps, interactions, and variables that can be delivered to a high standard in the prehospital setting. Standard research ... -
Establishing reliable MR spectroscopy techniques for measuring GABA and Glutathione in the human brain
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-03)Background: Proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) is a well-established method for measuring the relative concentration of a wide range of metabolites in the human brain noninvasively. Lately, more advanced spectroscopic techniques, ... -
Establishment of a bioluminescence model for microenvironmentally induced oral carcinogenesis with implications for screening bioengineered scaffolds.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background: Microenvironmental cues play a major role in head and neck cancer. Biodegradable scaffolds used for bone regeneration might also act as stimulative cues for head and neck cancer. The purpose of this study was ... -
Establishment of a novel cancer cell line derived from vulvar carcinoma associated with lichen sclerosus exhibiting a fibroblast-dependent tumorigenic potential
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma associated with lichen sclerosus (VLS-VSCC) are rare tumors but with higher recurrence and worse prognosis than other types of VSCC. Lack of experimental models has limited the search for ... -
Estimating and Comparing Health and Financial Risk Protection Outcomes in Economic Evaluations

Estimating average inpatient and outpatient costs and childhood pneumonia and diarrhoea treatment costs in an urban health centre in Zambia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-10-21)Background: Millions of children die every year in developing countries, from preventable diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea, owing to low levels of investment in child health. Investment efforts are hampered by a ... -
Estimating cardiac output from coronary CT angiography: an individualized compartment model in comparison to the Stewart–Hamilton method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Attenuation is correlated with the concentration of contrast medium (CM) in the arteries. The cardiac output (CO) affects the concentration of CM in the circulatory system; therefore, CO affects the time–density ... -
Estimating health adjusted age at death (HAAD)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-14)Objectives: At any point in time, a person’s lifetime health is the number of healthy life years they are expected to experience during their lifetime. In this article we propose an equity-relevant health metric, Health ... -
