Functional imaging of cancer using Optoacoustic Tomography
… been linked with resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy and poor patient outcomes. Measuring the functional status of the tumour vasculature, including blood flow fluctuations and changes in oxygenation is important in cancer staging and therapy monitoring. A robust method is needed for clinical …

Applications of Hair as a Record of Systemic Exposure to Cortisol
Hair cortisol content (HCC) is a novel biomarker that uniquely captures retrospective systemic cortisol exposure. This thesis aimed to assess how different hair growth rates effect HCC timelines in Cushing’s and Addison’s patients, investigate the relationship between HCC and age, puberty, sex and …

An investigation of the effect of different methods of patient management on the outcome of lithium therapy.
Patients prescribed long-term lithium therapy require regular monitoring which can be carried out in a variety of management settings, the most common of which are by specialised lithium clinics (LC), general psychiatric out-patient clinics (OP) and general practice (GP). Whilst audits have been …
