In such circumstances, lack of interpretative support may impede effective patient doctor communication, with some epidemiological evidence suggesting that suspecting the diagnosis of cancer is less prompt (i.e., requiring a greater number of pre-referral consultations) in older ethnic minority patients with symptoms (Lyratzopoulos et al, 2012).
In addition, the anti-rave legislation is likely to push events toward clandestine sites, where conditions will be less safe, supervision less responsible and emergency help less prompt.
Because our findings suggest that at-risk drinkers admitted to the ICU with infection are less prompt to develop intense immune response than not-at-risk drinkers, we believe that systematic and accurate identification of patients with prior alcohol misuse will lead to improved care for these patients.
Indeed, murine progenitor-enriched bone marrow cells recovered after injection of CB were less prompt to enter the cell cycle in response to growth factor cocktail than saline-injected controls.
Ants were nevertheless less prompt to show these alternate behaviours than they are to eject corpses out of the nest, which occurs within 24 h [ 19].
Rivers et al. [ 14] reported that early hemodynamic resuscitation (EGDT) for severe sepsis and septic shock within six hours resulted in improved survival compared with less prompt resuscitation treatment.
The gap between good intentions and behaviour is well recognised in the psychological literature (Sheeran, 2002), and actual help seeking is likely to be less prompt than hypothetical intentions.
Campaigns to raise public awareness of cancer symptoms have been predicated largely on a clinical view about the importance of responding promptly to alarm symptoms, rather than on insights into which alarm symptoms are associated with less prompt action on the part of the patient [ 56].
In relation to this, THE data showed how the UK is being challenged head-to-head by a surge of Continental European universities by teaching in English, providing a degree of comparable quality from an institution of equal heritage – and all for a tenth of the fee or less – prompting Richardson to warn: "British students are going overseas to get a 'debt free' education".
