Effects of intermittent claudication due to arterial disease on pain-free gait. (2021)
Journal Article
Evangelopoulou, E., Jones, R. K., Jameel, M., Boyd, P., & Nester, C. (2021). Effects of intermittent claudication due to arterial disease on pain-free gait. Clinical Biomechanics, 83, 105309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2021.105309

INTRODUCTION: Studies of intermittent claudication gait report inconsistent outcomes. Changes in gait are often attributed to degradation of calf muscles, but causation has not been proven through real-time electromyographic data. Neither have effect...

Effect of exercise on sleep and cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension (2021)
Journal Article
Atef, H., & Abdeen, H. (2021). Effect of exercise on sleep and cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension. Sleep and Breathing, 25(4), 1953-1960. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11325-020-02286-9

Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is considered to be a rare progressive disease resulting from restricted flow through the pulmonary arterial circulation resulting ultimately in right-sided heart failure. Most patients with PAH suffe... Read More about Effect of exercise on sleep and cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension.

A qualitative study exploring the experiences and perceptions of patients with rheumatoid arthritis before and after wearing foot orthoses for 6 months (2021)
Journal Article
Ramos‐Petersen, L., Nester, C. J., Ortega‐Avila, A. B., Skidmore, S., & Gijon‐Nogueron, G. (2021). A qualitative study exploring the experiences and perceptions of patients with rheumatoid arthritis before and after wearing foot orthoses for 6 months. Health and Social Care in the Community, 29(3), 829--836. https://doi.org/10.1111/hsc.13316

Foot pathology in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can have a psychosocial impact, but interventions such as foot orthoses can reduce foot pain, improving physical activity and quality of life. A previous meta-analysis concluded that foot orthos...

Propagation-Based Phase-Contrast CT of the Breast Demonstrates Higher Quality Than Conventional Absorption-Based CT Even at Lower Radiation Dose (2021)
Journal Article
Tavakoli Taba, S., Arhatari, B. D., Nesterets, Y. I., Gadomkar, Z., Mayo, S. C., Thompson, D., …Brennan, P. C. (2021). Propagation-Based Phase-Contrast CT of the Breast Demonstrates Higher Quality Than Conventional Absorption-Based CT Even at Lower Radiation Dose. Academic radiology, 28(1), e20-e26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acra.2020.01.009

Rationale and Objectives Propagation-based phase-contrast CT (PB-CT) is an advanced X-ray imaging technology that exploits both refraction and absorption of the transmitted X-ray beam. This study was aimed at optimizing the experimental conditions o...

The "price-tag" of foot health in infancy and early childhood: a cross sectional survey of UK parents. (2021)
Journal Article
Hodgson, L., Hodges, M., Williams, A. E., Nester, C. J., & Morrison, S. C. (2021). The "price-tag" of foot health in infancy and early childhood: a cross sectional survey of UK parents. European Journal of Pediatrics, 180(5), 1561--1570. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00431-020-03920-0

Children's feet are complex structures and strategies for supporting good foot health throughout childhood can be challenging. Greater awareness of the contemporary factors influencing decisions, such as footwear purchases, is needed to inform health...
