"Well, it's nobody's responsibility but my own." A qualitative study to explore views about the determinants of health and prevention of knee pain in older adults (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). "Well, it's nobody's responsibility but my own." A qualitative study to explore views about the determinants of health and prevention of knee pain in older adults. BMC Public Health, 148. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-10-148

Dahlgren and Whitehead's 'rainbow' outlines key determinants of health and has been widely adopted within public health policy and research. Public understanding regarding the determinants of health is, however, relatively unknown, particularly in re... Read More about "Well, it's nobody's responsibility but my own."

Addressing patient beliefs and expectations in the consultation (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Addressing patient beliefs and expectations in the consultation. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.berh.2009.12.013

In this article, we specifically focus on the identification and management of patient beliefs and expectations during consultations with health-care professionals (HCPs). In examination of the nature and purpose of communication during consultations... Read More about Addressing patient beliefs and expectations in the consultation.

Combined effects of smoking and systolic blood pressure on risk of coronary heart disease: a cohort study in Chinese women (2010)
Journal Article
Sun, D., Cao, J., Liu, X., Yu, L., Yao, C., Li, J., …Gu, D. (2010). Combined effects of smoking and systolic blood pressure on risk of coronary heart disease: a cohort study in Chinese women. Journal of Women's Health, 19(4), https://doi.org/10.1089/jwh.2009.1486

Objectives: To quantify the combined effects of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and cigarette smoking on incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in women. Methods: Overall, 86,338 women aged ≥40 years were enrolled in 1991. The follow-up evaluation wa...

Mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium accelerates skin wound healing: An in vitro study of fibroblast and keratinocyte scratch assays (2010)
Journal Article
Walter, M., Wright, K., Fuller, H., MacNeil, S., & Johnson, W. (2010). Mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium accelerates skin wound healing: An in vitro study of fibroblast and keratinocyte scratch assays. Experimental Cell Research, 316(7), 1271-1281. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yexcr.2010.02.026

We have used in vitro scratch assays to examine the relative contribution of dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes in the wound repair process and to test the influence of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secreted factors on both skin cell types. Scratch a... Read More about Mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium accelerates skin wound healing: An in vitro study of fibroblast and keratinocyte scratch assays.

Is an appropriate cutoff of hypertriglyceridemic waist designated for type 2 diabetes among Chinese adults (2010)
Journal Article

Aims: To assess the feasibility of using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to transfect astrocytes derived for transplantation and determine if transfection efficacy can be enhanced by static and oscillating magnetic fields. Methods: Astrocytes were tran... Read More about Enhancement of Magnetic Nanoparticle-Mediated Gene Transfer to Astrocytes by ‘Magnetofection‘: Effects of Static and Oscillating Fields.

Extending conceptual frameworks: life course epidemiology for the study of back pain (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Extending conceptual frameworks: life course epidemiology for the study of back pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 23 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-11-23

Epidemiological studies have identified important causal and prognostic factors for back pain, but these frequently only identify a proportion of the variance, and new factors add little to these models. Recently, interest has increased in studying d... Read More about Extending conceptual frameworks: life course epidemiology for the study of back pain.

Interventions to improve adherence to exercise for chronic musculoskeletal pain in adults (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Interventions to improve adherence to exercise for chronic musculoskeletal pain in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CD005956 -?. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD005956.pub2

BACKGROUND: Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is a major health problem, accounting for approximately one-quarter of general practice (GP) consultations in the United Kingdom (UK). Exercise and physical activity is beneficial for the most common typ... Read More about Interventions to improve adherence to exercise for chronic musculoskeletal pain in adults.
