NDA Seminar 19th February 2020 2.30pm

Professor Bjorn Jonson

Emeritus Professor Department of Clinical Physiology, University of Lund, Sweden

 

Professor Jonson will deliver a seminar titled “Lung protective ventilation based on physics and physiology”

All are warmly invited to attend.   Professor Jonson is renowned in the field of mechanical ventilation, respiratory physiology and biomedical engineering.   As well as recent work on lung protective ventilation in human studies, he enjoyed a long career as a world leader in lung mechanics in Critical Care, and in ventilator design, being particularly famous for having invented the Servo 900 series of ventilator back in the day, which revolutionised mechanical ventilation in modern Intensive Care practice.

Associate Professor Peter Watkinson

Avoiding Critical Illness

Dr Peter Watkinson, Associate Professor of Intensive Care Medicine, is joint clinical lead for the Critical Care Research Group based at the Kadoorie Centre for Critical Care Research & Education at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. He is an NHS consultant in intensive care and acute medicine and is part of the senior clinical team at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. His research interests focus on the identification of the deteriorating patient in hospital and he has designed and run a number of studies in the field of wearable monitoring devices. The research group is now exploring the opportunities offered through non-contact monitoring and standard electronically-recorded descriptors of a patient's condition.

NDA Seminar 24th Sept 2019

NDA Seminar Tuesday 24th September 2019 10.30am

Dr Robert Sanders, University of Wisconsin

Have you ever wondered what is the impact our anaesthetic and perioperative care on our patients’ post-operative cognitive health?  Should we be concerned?  Should we be doing something different?

Please come and hear Dr Robert Sanders, from University of Wisconsin, Madison deliver his seminar on Perioperative Care and Cognition.  

Recent studies have suggested that surgery has a small long-term effect on cognition and that perioperative ischemic brain injury may contribute. These studies, and their context, will be described and critiqued, providing the attendee with the pertinent insights from papers published in the BMJ and Lancet.

Dr Sanders qualified from Imperial College London (MB and PhD). He trained in anaesthesia at Imperial as well as doing postdoctoral research at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.  His work is funded by the National Institute of Health to conduct research into the mechanisms of delirium and dementia.

Venue: Seminar Rooms A/B, Level 6, West Wing, John Radcliffe Hospital

Host: Professor Duncan Young

Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 1st -7th July 2019

Breathing with your Brain

Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 1st-7th July 2019

Join Professor Kyle Pattinson at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in London. Breathing is fundamental to life and we all know what it feels like to be out of breath. For most of us, breathlessness passes, but for many people, feeling breathless is a defining part of their lives

Breathe Oxford is a diverse group of neuroscientists, psychologists and clinicians studying the neuroscience of breathlessness. Their work shows that breathing is about more than just the lungs. In fact, the brain has a powerful influence on our experiences. This explains why some people still feel out of breath, even when they have been provided with medical care.

The group explores how the brain controls our feelings of being out of breath using cutting-edge brain imaging technology. Understanding this control system could lead to revolutionary, personalised treatments for breathlessness. 

Come along to the Royal Society this week: you can face the Steppatron, meet the research team, and discover more about the how the brain controls our feelings of being out of breath.
