Overview
I am graduate research assistant working on the Beetle project as part fo the ESMI team. The Beetle project wants to understand the impact of multi-component interventions which aim to improve recovery and length of hospital stay for older adults following a planned surgical procedures. The project will involve completing a quantitative and qualitative systematic review which will particularly focus on patient, carer, and staff experiences of these interventions. The findings of these two reviews will then be brought together to create a logic model which identifies aspects of care which are associated with positive or negative outcomes of the interventions.

Prior to Beetle, I worked on the HERO study (Home-based extended rehabilitation for older people), a multi-centre RCT establishing whether a home-based exercise intervention plus usual care as extended rehabilitation for older people with frailty improves health-related quality of life.

Abstract:
Prevalence of CADASIL and fabry disease in a cohort of MRI defined younger onset Lacunar Stroke
Background and Purpose Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopa-thy (CADASIL), caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, is the most common monogenic disorder causing lacunar stroke and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Fabry disease (FD) due to mutations in the GLA gene has been suggested as an underdiagnosed cause of stroke, and one feature is SVD. Previous studies reported varying prevalence of CADASIL and FD in stroke, likely due to varying subtypes studied; no studies have looked at a large cohort of younger onset SVD. We determined the prevalence in a well-defined, MRI-verified cohort of apparently sporadic patients with lacunar infarct. Methods Caucasian patients with lacunar infarction, aged
