Kalenderski, K., Dubern, J., Lewis-Lloyd, C., Jeffery, N., Heeb, S., Irvine, D. J., …Williams, P. (2024). Polymer-Coated Urinary Catheter Reduces Biofilm Formation and Biomineralization: A First-in-Man, Prospective Pilot Study. Journal of Urology Open PLus, 2(1), Article e00005. https://doi.org/10.1097/JU9.0000000000000097

Purpose: Biofilm formation and biomineralization on urinary catheters may cause severe complications including infection and obstruction. Here, we describe an in vitro evaluation and prospective pilot clinical study of a silicone catheter coated with...

Temporal trends and patterns in initial opioid prescriptions after hospital discharge following colectomy in England over 10 years (2023)
Journal Article
Baamer, R. M., Humes, D. J., Toh, L. S., Knaggs, R. D., Lobo, D. N., Arabia, S., & Greenfield, D. (2023). Temporal trends and patterns in initial opioid prescriptions after hospital discharge following colectomy in England over 10 years. BJS Open, 7(6), Article zrad136. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrad136

Background While opioid analgesics are often necessary for the management of acute postoperative pain, appropriate prescribing practices are crucial to avoid harm. The aim was to investigate the changes in the proportion of people receiving initial...

Predictors of persistent postoperative opioid use following colectomy: a population‐based cohort study from England (2023)
Journal Article
Baamer, R. M., Humes, D. J., Toh, L. S., Knaggs, R. D., & Lobo, D. N. (2023). Predictors of persistent postoperative opioid use following colectomy: a population‐based cohort study from England. Anaesthesia, 78(9), 1081-1092. https://doi.org/10.1111/anae.16055

This retrospective cohort study on adults undergoing colectomy from 2010 to 2019 used linked primary (Clinical Practice Research Datalink), and secondary (Hospital Episode Statistics) care data to determine the prevalence of persistent postoperative...

O087 Predictors of persistent opioid use after discharge following colectomy: a population-based cohort study from England (2023)
Journal Article
Baamer, R., Humes, D., Toh, L., Knaggs, R., & Lobo, D. (2023). O087 Predictors of persistent opioid use after discharge following colectomy: a population-based cohort study from England. British Journal of Surgery, 110(Supplement 3), Article znad101.087. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znad101.087

Introduction Little is known regarding whether opioid prescriptions following colectomy lead to persistent use. We aimed to determine the prevalence of persistent post-discharge opioid use following colectomy, stratified by preadmission opioid exposu...

Discovery of a polymer resistant to bacterial biofilm, swarming, and encrustation (2023)
Journal Article
Dubern, J. F., Hook, A. L., Carabelli, A. M., Chang, C. Y., Lewis-Lloyd, C. A., Luckett, J. C., …Williams, P. (2023). Discovery of a polymer resistant to bacterial biofilm, swarming, and encrustation. Science Advances, 9(4), Article eadd7474. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.add7474

Innovative approaches to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are urgently required. Here, we describe the discovery of an acrylate copolymer capable of resisting single- and multispecies bacterial biofilm formation, swarming...
