Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy? (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?. Gut : journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology, 55, A23 - A23

Introduction: Artificial neural networks (ANN) are computer programs used to identify complex relations within data sets undetectable with conventional linear statistical analysis. One such complex problem is the prediction of need for lower gastroin... Read More about Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?.

Randomised controlled trial of sedation for colonoscopy: Entonox versus intravenous sedation (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maslekar, S. K., Hughes, M., Skinn, E., Gardiner, A., Culbert, B., & Duthie, G. S. Randomised controlled trial of sedation for colonoscopy: Entonox versus intravenous sedation

Introduction: Intravenous sedation for colonoscopy is associated with cardio-respiratory complications, delayed recovery and prolonged drowsiness. We aimed to determine whether inhaled Entonox

Non-medical colonoscopists are safe and effective: results from randomised controlled trial (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Skinn, E., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. Non-medical colonoscopists are safe and effective: results from randomised controlled trial

Introduction: There is an increasing demand for colonoscopy, especially with introduction of screening programmes. Though it is performed by doctors and nurses, there is an acute shortage of trained colonoscopists. Non-medical personnel were therefor...

Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results. Gastroenterology, 130(4), A728 - A728

Introduction The standard treatment for faecal incontinence secondary to obstetric sphincterdamage is anal sphincter repair. However, the results of this procedure deteriorate withtime. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has become an established therapy...

The application of sacral nerve stimulation to the disrupted anal sphincter (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., & Duthie, G. (2004). The application of sacral nerve stimulation to the disrupted anal sphincter. Gastroenterology, 126(4), A361 - A361

Background Sacral nerve stimulation has been successfully used in the treatment of faecalincontinence. It has been applied to patients with intact anal sphincters. We have assessed20 patients with either an external sphincter defect or combined EAS a... Read More about The application of sacral nerve stimulation to the disrupted anal sphincter.
