1	Reform of commercial property leases in England Savar, Ray January 2013 (has links) This thesis explores the arguments and evidence for reform of commercial property leases through legislative intervention. It identifies and explains the causes of landlord and tenant disputes arising mainly from poorly drafted commercial leases. It investigates the relevant codes for leasing business premises, the Law Society business lease, the regulatory reform of part II of the 1954 Act, the British Property Federation lease, and various other attempts at reform of commercial property leases. This research also investigates the potential need for ethnic minorities in commercial property to have the key legal terms of commercial property leases made available in both English and other languages. There is little previous academic research on reform of commercial property leases through legislative intervention (other than Crosby Reading reports). This research aims to contributute towards filling the gap that exists in the literature by investigating reform through legislation. This research involved semi-structured interviews with participants from five groups: lawyers, surveyors/agents, landlords, tenants and business owners. Most interviewed supported reform of commercial property leases through legislative intervention, and better guidance explaining the meaning of key legal terms of commercial property leases, especially from ethnic minority businesses. 346.04
2	Normothermia after decompressive surgery for space-occupying middle cerebral artery infarction: a protocol-based approach Rahmig, Jan, Kuhn, Matthias, Neugebauer, Hermann, Jüttler, Eric, Reichmann, Heinz, Schneider, Hauke 05 June 2018 (has links) (PDF) Background Moderate hypothermia after decompressive surgery might not be beneficial for stroke patients. However, normothermia may prove to be an effective method of enhancing neurological outcomes. The study aims were to evaluate the application of a pre-specified normothermia protocol in stroke patients after decompressive surgery and its impact on temperature load, and to describe the functional outcome of patients at 12 months after treatment. Methods We analysed patients with space-occupying middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction treated with decompressive surgery and a pre-specified temperature management protocol. Patients treated primarily with device-controlled normothermia or hypothermia were excluded. The individual temperature load above 36.5 °C was calculated for the first 96 h after hemicraniectomy as the Area Under the Curve, using °C x hours. The effect of temperature load on functional outcome at 12 months was analysed by logistic regression. Results We included 40 stroke patients treated with decompressive surgery (mean [SD] age: 58.9 [10.1] years; mean [SD] time to surgery: 30.5 [16.7] hours). Fever (temperature > 37.5 °C) developed in 26 patients during the first 96 h after surgery and mean (SD) temperature load above 36.5 °C in this time period was 62,3 (+/− 47,6) °C*hours. At one year after stroke onset, a moderate to moderately severe disability (modified Rankin Scale score of 3 or 4) was observed in 32% of patients, and a severe disability (score of 5) in 37% of patients, respectively. The lethality in the cohort at 12 months was 32%. The temperature load during the first 96 h was not an independent predictor for 12 month lethality (OR 0.986 [95%-CI:0.967–1.002]; p < 0.12). Conclusions Temperature control in surgically treated patients with space-occupying MCA infarction using a pre-specified protocol excluding temperature management systems resulted in mild hyperthermia between 36.8 °C and 37.2 °C and a low overall temperature load. Future prospective studies on larger cohorts comparing different strategies for normothermia treatment including temperature management devices are needed.

4	Telecytological Diagnosis of Space-Occupying Lesions of the Liver Mostafa, Mohammad Golam, Dalquen, Peter, Kunze, Dietmar, Terracciano, Luigi 19 May 2020 (has links) Objective: In this study, the efficiency of telemedical consulting with regard to fine needle aspirates from space-occupying lesions (SOLs) of the liver is investigated for the first time. Study Design: The study includes fine needle aspirations from 62 patients, 33 with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 29 with non-hepatic tumors. Using the Internetbased iPath system, the initial pathologist submitted 1–8 images from smears and cell block sections. One consultant assessed the cytological and another one the histological images. Both made their diagnoses independent of each other. A final diagnosis was made by immunochemistry of cell block sections. The cytological images were analyzed retrospectively for the occurrence of the most typical HCC indicators. The number of these indicators was related to the initial diagnoses of the three pathologists, and possible reasons for diagnostic errors were analyzed based on this analysis. Results: The accuracy of the preliminary telemedical diagnoses regarding HCC was 82.0% for the cytological images and 87.7% for the histological images. Most of the false diagnoses occurred in tumors with unusual cytological and histological patterns. Conclusions: Telemedical consulting is a valuable tool to obtain a second opinion. However, for improvement of the diagnosis of HCC, supplementary immunochemical tests are necessary. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/610 ddc:610 info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/570 ddc:570
