Research activity includes coronary artery disease, stable chest pain, atrial fibrillation, and coronary computed tomography angiography, with attention to statin therapy and lipid management in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
- Coronary artery disease
- Atrial fibrillation
- Coronary computed tomography angiography
- Statin therapy
Clinical interests also extend to non-calcified plaque assessment and optimization of cardiovascular risk reduction in high-risk patients.
Critical Care and Infectious Diseases
Trials in this area focus on critical illness, suspected or proven infection, and beta-lactam treatment strategies for paediatric intensive care, alongside management of acute bronchitis and COPD exacerbation.
- Critical illness
- Suspected or proven infection
- Acute bronchitis
- COPD exacerbation
Additional work addresses extubation failure, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and respiratory support-related outcomes in vulnerable patients.
Gastroenterology and Acute Care
Clinical research includes acute pancreatitis and its early management, with interest in fluid therapy and hospital-based approaches to improving recovery in acute abdominal disease.
- Acute pancreatitis
- Fluid therapy
- Early management
- Acute care outcomes
This area reflects a broader focus on inpatient treatment pathways for complex acute conditions.
Paediatric Haematology and Oncology
Research activity covers childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with emphasis on risk stratification, genetic studies, minimal residual disease, and treatment-related outcomes in children.
- Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
- Risk stratification
- Genetic studies
- Minimal residual disease
The portfolio also includes strategies aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality in paediatric leukaemia care.
Pain Management and Perioperative Care
Studies address pain management after mandibular third molar removal, postoperative sequelae, and the use of analgesics and corticosteroid approaches to improve comfort after oral surgery.
- Pain management
- Mandibular third molar surgery
- Postoperative sequelae
- Analgesic therapy
Related interests include fentanyl nasal spray and symptom control in the postoperative period.
