“…1 The involvement of certain drug therapy in the management of a condition can be facilitated by using 2dimensional and 3dimensional renditions. 2 Objectives To compile an electronic molecular database of drugs used in respiratory conditions to include constructions in two and three dimension, representations of drug protein interactions and to assess its utility by carrying out a randomised control study on a pharmacy student cohort. Design A repository of drugs pertaining to 'respiratory system' section of the BNF 64 was created to include structural information using molecular modelling software ex.…”

“…They illustrate participants' experiences of their asthma care and their views on its improvement. Similar to the international literature (Lim et al 2012), pregnant asthmatic women have concerns about their care and treatment, which might be alleviated by outreach, joint working between respiratory nurse specialists, midwives and GP practice nurses.…”

in handling the thoracoscopy equipment and IPC insertion (figure 1). 100% of consultants agreed that the course was mapped to the respiratory curriculum requirements and that the content was appropriate for ST5 trainees. 100% of consultant faculty also agreed that the course structure was adequate; the lectures were delivered at an appropriate level and were happy for the course to be run on a yearly basis. Candidate feedback was positive and indicated that the course would be a useful addition to the training programme. Conclusion With medical advancements and expansion of Lung Cancer Services nationwide, respiratory doctors are increasingly needed to master MT and IPC insertion skills. Intra-deanery training should be provided for trainees to ensure sustainability of services. Introduction and Objectives Last year we presented data highlighting the on-going role for Abrams pleural biopsy in areas with high tuberculosis incidence (1). Feedback reiterated ongoing need, but highlighted concerns regarding the attainment of trainee competence at this infrequently performed procedure. We organised and evaluated a half day training course using a well validated porcine-resin model at a regional registrar training day (2). Methods All attendees (18) underwent a practical training session on pleural biopsy using Abrams and Tru-Cut biopsy needles. Feedback forms were completed and perceived success documented, all samples obtained underwent histological assessment by a specialist respiratory Consultant Histopathologist. Results Previous experience was limited (median 0.5 prior biopsies performed, range 0-50). On Likert scales (range 1-5) mean confidence improved (1.86, SD 1.21 to 3.83, SD 0.51; p < 0.0001) and the session was deemed useful (mean score 4.5, SD 0.4) with 13/14 (92.9%) trainees who answered stating the session would change their practice. A mean of 4.56 samples (SD 1.42) were obtained per trainee. Sixty-nine of seventy-six samples (90.8%) were perceived to have been successful by the operator, microscopic evidence of mesothelial lined pleura was obtained in nine samples (11.8%) with connective tissue suggestive of possible pleura obtained in a further 25 (33%) (k = 0.013; poor correlation); real time observation by a training partner suggested a 91.9% success rate (k = 0.584; moderate correlation). There was no increase in accuracy with increased sampling. Despite encouragement only four participants attempted the Tru-Cut method. Conclusions The session was popular and significantly improved trainee confidence. However, histological biopsy success rate and macroscopic correlation was poor. This is most likely related to difficulty in biopsying non-diseased pleura and possibly differences between macroscopic appearances of porcine and human pleura or inexperienced trainees' inability to recognise pleura macroscopically. Experience was low even in a high-incidence region, suggesting simulated pleural biopsy training may be a useful adjunct. 2 respondents had never seen spirometry performed, and 28 (18%) have...

Asthma during Pregnancy: The Experiences, Concerns and Views of Pregnant Women with Asthma

Abstract: Pregnant women are not well supported in managing asthma during pregnancy, despite being concerned about outcomes. Interventions, education, and more support are warranted and wanted by pregnant women with asthma to optimize pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.
