An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the major crustacean allergen, tropomyosin, in food (2006)
Journal Article
Fuller, H. R., Goodwin, P. R., & Morris, G. E. (2006). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the major crustacean allergen, tropomyosin, in food. Food and Agricultural Immunology, 17(1), 43-52. https://doi.org/10.1080/09540100600572651

Shellfish are a common cause of food reactions in hypersensitive individuals and are among the eight foods that account for over 90% of food allergies. At present, the only way to prevent these serious consequences of food allergies is to avoid the f...

Breast asymmetry and predisposition to breast cancer. (2006)
Journal Article
(2006). Breast asymmetry and predisposition to breast cancer. Breast Cancer Research, R14 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/bcr1388

INTRODUCTION: It has been shown in our previous work that breast asymmetry is related to several of the known risk factors for breast cancer, and that patients with diagnosed breast cancer have more breast volume asymmetry, as measured from mammogram...

The Knee Clinical Assessment Study-CAS(K). A prospective study of knee pain and knee osteoarthritis in the general population: baseline recruitment and retention at 18 months (2006)
Journal Article
Dziedzic. (2006). The Knee Clinical Assessment Study-CAS(K). A prospective study of knee pain and knee osteoarthritis in the general population: baseline recruitment and retention at 18 months. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 30 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-7-30

Background
Selective non-participation at baseline (due to non-response and non-consent) and loss to follow-up are
important concerns for longitudinal observational research. We investigated these matters in the context of baseline recruitment and... Read More about The Knee Clinical Assessment Study-CAS(K).

Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship? (2006)
Journal Article
Carroll, W. D., Lenney, W., Child, F., Strange, R. C., Jones, P. W., Whyte, M. K., …Fryer, A. A. (2006). Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship?. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 91(5), 405 - 409. https://doi.org/10.1136/adc.2005.088278

BACKGROUND: The relationship between asthma severity and atopy is complex. Many studies have failed to show significant relationships between clinical severity or lung function and markers of atopic sensitisation. AIM: To determine whether increasing...

Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system (2006)
Journal Article
Chari, D. M., Zhao, C., Kotter, M. R., Blakemore, W. F., & Franklin, R. J. (2006). Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system. Journal of Neuroscience Research, 83(4), 594-605. https://doi.org/10.1002/jnr.20763

High dose corticosteroid (CS) administration is a common mode of therapy in treatment of acute relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) but the effects of CS on remyelination and the cellular mechanisms mediating this repair process are controversial. We... Read More about Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system.

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) transplantation is unlikely to offer a means of preventing X-irradiation induced damage in the CNS (2006)
Journal Article

Experimental Neurology, 198(1), 145-153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expneurol.2005.11.023

Oligodendrocyte lineage cells [oligodendrocytes and their parent cells, the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs)] are depleted by X-irradiation and progenitor cell transplantation has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy to counteract radiation...

The (mis)classification of chemo-fog – methodological inconsistencies in the investigation of cognitive impairment after chemotherapy (2005)
Journal Article

Background
A growing number of studies report cognitive impairment after chemotherapy; indeed the phenomenon of chemo-fog is now almost universally accepted. We are concerned however that there is little if any consistency in the way in which patien...

Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families. (2005)
Journal Article

RATIONALE: Previous data have suggested that glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genotypes are important in determining the rate of lung function growth in childhood. This effect was most marked in Caucasian children with asthma. OBJECTIVES: We investiga... Read More about Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families..

Regression analysis of overdispersed correlated count data with subject specific covariates. (2005)
Journal Article

A robust likelihood approach for the analysis of overdispersed correlated count data that takes into account cluster varying covariates is proposed. We emphasise two characteristics of the proposed method: That the correlation structure satisfies the...

Book Chapter
Hodgson, P., & Canvin, K. (2013). Translating health policy into research practice. In Involving Service Users in Health and Social Care Research. (1). Taylor & Francis (Routledge)

The aim of this chapter is to explore and critically appraise the recent moves towards consumer involvement in health research. The UK government has attempted to initiate cultural shifts in how health research is undertaken through policy documents... Read More about Translating health policy into research practice.
