Physiotherapy, and speech and language therapy intervention for patients with refractory chronic cough: a multicentre randomised control trial. (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Physiotherapy, and speech and language therapy intervention for patients with refractory chronic cough: a multicentre randomised control trial. Thorax, https://doi.org/10.1136/thoraxjnl-2016-208843

BACKGROUND: Physiotherapy, and speech and language therapy are emerging non-pharmacological treatments for refractory chronic cough. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of a physiotherapy, and speech and language therapy intervention (PSALTI) to imp...

Radiologist variability in assessing the position of the cavoatrial junction on chest radiographs (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Radiologist variability in assessing the position of the cavoatrial junction on chest radiographs. British Journal of Radiology, 20150965 - 20150965. https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20150965

OBJECTIVE: To assess the variability in identifying the cavoatrial junction (CAJ) on chest X-rays (CXRs) amongst radiologists. METHODS: 23 radiologists (13 consultants and 10 trainees) assessed 25 posteroanterior erect CXRs (including 8 duplicates) a...

Validation and Recalibration of Two Multivariable Prognostic Models for Survival and Independence in Acute Stroke (2016)
Journal Article
Sim, J., Teece, L., Dennis, M. S., & Roffe, C. (2016). Validation and Recalibration of Two Multivariable Prognostic Models for Survival and Independence in Acute Stroke. PloS one, 11(5), Article ARTN e0153527. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0153527

Introduction Various prognostic models have been developed for acute stroke, including one based on age and five binary variables (‘six simple variables’ model; SSVMod) and one based on age plus scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Sca...

Perceptions of supported and unsupported prone-restraint positions (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Perceptions of supported and unsupported prone-restraint positions. Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 172 -178. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpm.12295

UNLABELLED: WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Although the use of prone restraint should be avoided, it may remain a last resort emergency intervention for violent behaviour in psychiatric settings. However, when used as a last resort, concerns remain a... Read More about Perceptions of supported and unsupported prone-restraint positions.

A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract) (2015)
Journal Article
Purton, J., Hunter, S., & Sim, J. (2015). A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract). International Journal of Stroke, 21 -21. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijs.12634_5

Introduction: People’s experiences and perceptions of stroke have been researched quite extensively, in particular the effect of stroke on the self and self-concept, but how much upper limb dysfunction contributes to this is not known. This study e... Read More about A longitudinal exploration of stroke survivors' experiences of upper limb dysfunction (Abstract).

Medical day hospital care for older people versus alternative forms of care (2015)
Journal Article
Brown, L., Forster, A., Young, J., Crocker, T., Benham, A., & Langhorne, P. (2015). Medical day hospital care for older people versus alternative forms of care. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015(6), Article CD001730. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD001730.pub3

Background The proportion of the world's population aged over 60 years is increasing. Therefore, there is a need to examine different methods of healthcare provision for this population. Medical day hospitals provide multidisciplinary health service... Read More about Medical day hospital care for older people versus alternative forms of care.

Light beam diaphragm collimation errors and their effects on radiation dose for pelvic radiography (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Light beam diaphragm collimation errors and their effects on radiation dose for pelvic radiography

Purpose: To investigate the range of collimation errors in x-ray rooms and to calculate their possible effects on the radiation dose for anteroposterior pelvic examinations. Methods: A collimator test tool was suspended at 3 heights (14, 21, and 28 c... Read More about Light beam diaphragm collimation errors and their effects on radiation dose for pelvic radiography.

A review of the biology of calcium phosphate sequestration with special reference to milk (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). A review of the biology of calcium phosphate sequestration with special reference to milk. Dairy Science and Technology, 3 -14. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13594-014-0177-2

In milk, a stable fluid is formed in which sequestered nanoclusters of calcium phosphate are substructures in casein micelles. As a result, calcium and phosphate concentrations in milk can be far in excess of their solubility. Variations of calcium,...
