Journal Article
Lucy Richardson, C., Chapman, S., & White, S. (2021). Experiencing a virtual patient to practice patient counselling skills. Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning, 13(12), 1593-1601. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cptl.2021.09.048

Introduction Virtual patients (VPs) are a safe and standardised method of simulating clinical environments but few studies have explored health care professional's experiences of learning via a VP. This study explored how users experienced and used a... Read More about Experiencing a virtual patient to practice patient counselling skills.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells combined with gonadotropin therapy restore postnatal oogenesis of chemo-ablated ovaries in rats via enhancing very small embryonic-like stem cells. (2021)
Journal Article
(2021). Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells combined with gonadotropin therapy restore postnatal oogenesis of chemo-ablated ovaries in rats via enhancing very small embryonic-like stem cells. Stem Cell Research and Therapy, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-021-02415-5

BACKGROUND: Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare population within the ovarian epithelial surface. They contribute to postnatal oogenesis as they have the ability to generate immature oocytes and resist the chemotherapy. These cell...

Determining the ideal osteotomy for stemless total shoulder replacement – a cadaveric study (2021)
Journal Article
McClelland, D., Blackwell, J. R., O’Beirne, S., Grocott, N. E., & Ogrodnik, P. (2022). Determining the ideal osteotomy for stemless total shoulder replacement – a cadaveric study. Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 31(2), 413-419. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jse.2021.08.018

Hypothesis: To determine the angle of osteotomy that produces a circular humeral cut surface. Methods: 49 cadaveric shoulders, from 25 cadavers, underwent sequential humeral head osteotomy from 180 degrees (vertical, in line with the humeral diaphys...

Journal Article
Camilla Ciardulli, M., Lovecchio, J., Scala, P., Pavel Lamparelli, E., Dale, T., Giudice, V., …Della Porta, G. (2021). 3D Biomimetic Scaffold for Growth Factor Controlled Delivery: An In-Vitro Study of Tenogenic Events on Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Pharmaceutics, 13(9), https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics13091448

The present work described a bio-functionalized 3D fibrous construct, as an interactive teno-inductive graft model to study tenogenic potential events of human mesenchymal stem cells collected from Wharton's Jelly (hWJ-MSCs). The 3D-biomimetic and bi... Read More about 3D Biomimetic Scaffold for Growth Factor Controlled Delivery: An In-Vitro Study of Tenogenic Events on Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells..

Background: An animated, video-based, virtual patient (VP) has been developed to allow pharmacists to learn how, and practice how, to advise patients taking non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants, a group of high-risk medicines. VPs are well-established r... Read More about Establishing the acceptability and usability of an animated virtual patient simulation..

Complex ruptures of the quadriceps tendon: a systematic review of surgical procedures and outcomes. (2021)
Journal Article
(2021). Complex ruptures of the quadriceps tendon: a systematic review of surgical procedures and outcomes. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13018-021-02696-9

BACKGROUND: Chronic ruptures, ruptures following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and re-ruptures of the quadriceps tendon (QT) are rare. A systematic review of the current literature was conducted on their treatment and outcome to provide evidence-bas...

Testosterone Therapy in Adult-Onset Testosterone Deficiency: Hematocrit and Hemoglobin Changes (2021)
Journal Article
(2021). Testosterone Therapy in Adult-Onset Testosterone Deficiency: Hematocrit and Hemoglobin Changes. Androgens, 141 - 149. https://doi.org/10.1089/andro.2021.0013

Objective: Hematocrit (HCT)/hemoglobin (Hb) ratio in (%/g/dL) is around 3, with high fidelity between measured and derived Hb (applying the conversion using HCT) in various pathologies. We examined changes in HCT and Hb values and HCT/Hb, compared wi... Read More about Testosterone Therapy in Adult-Onset Testosterone Deficiency: Hematocrit and Hemoglobin Changes.

Implementation and evaluation of a good prescribing tip email to reduce junior doctors' prescribing errors (2021)
