Perioperative anaesthesia and postoperative pain
Research activity includes locoregional anaesthesia, spinal anaesthesia, and multimodal analgesia across cardiac surgery, laparoscopic abdominal surgery, thoracic surgery, and pleural procedures, with attention to recovery, respiratory function, and acute pain control.
- Postoperative analgesia
- Respiratory function after surgery
- Regional blocks
Additional interests extend to chronic postsurgical pain, postoperative pulmonary complications, and pain management in intensive care and procedural settings.
Gastroenterology and inflammatory bowel disease
Clinical studies focus on Crohn’s disease, Crohn’s ileal disease, and ulcerative colitis, including treatment strategies, disease activity, and intestinal outcomes in patients receiving advanced medical therapy.
- Crohn’s disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Ileal resection margins
Work in this area also covers intestinal imaging, endoscopic response, and cardiovascular risk linked to chronic inflammatory disease.
Respiratory infection and pleural disease
The sponsor supports research in Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease, Mycobacterium xenopi pulmonary infection, pleural infections, pneumothorax, and viral respiratory infections, with emphasis on infection control and pleural management.
- Mycobacterial lung infection
- Complicated pleural infections
- Viral pneumonia
Related studies address antibiotic stewardship, pleural irrigation, and outcomes in thoracic surgery and pleurodesis.
Critical care and sepsis
Research covers septic shock, acute renal failure, major adverse kidney events, and haemodynamic management in patients with severe infection, including those cared for in intensive care units.
- Septic shock
- Kidney injury
- Haemodynamic support
Additional interests include pleural drainage, intra-abdominal infection, and complications associated with severe systemic illness.
Dermatology, neurology, and surgical complications
The portfolio also includes bullous pemphigoid, complex regional pain syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, and superficial arteriovenous malformations, alongside studies of complicated appendicitis and other surgical infections.
- Bullous pemphigoid
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Parkinson’s disease
These topics are linked with immune-related treatment effects, vascular anomalies, and recovery after abdominal and cardiac procedures.
