The INTERPRET Decision-Support System version 3.0 for evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy data from human brain tumours and other abnormal brain masses. (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). The INTERPRET Decision-Support System version 3.0 for evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy data from human brain tumours and other abnormal brain masses. BMC Bioinformatics, 581 -581. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-11-581

Background Proton Magnetic Resonance (MR) Spectroscopy (MRS) is a widely available technique for those clinical centres equipped with MR scanners. Unlike the rest of MR-based techniques, MRS yields not images but spectra of metabolites in the tissue...

Programmable patients: simulation of consultation skills in a virtual environment (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Programmable patients: simulation of consultation skills in a virtual environment. Bio-Algorithms and Medical-Systems, 111 -115

The School of Pharmacy has developed 3D characters in a virtual environment to simulate interaction between the learner and a virtual patient. Interaction with the patient is possible through the use of multiple choice questions or ‘natural’ free tex...

No drain, autologous transfusion drain or suction drain? A randomised prospective study in total hip replacement surgery of 168 patients (2010)
Journal Article
Kuiper. (2010). No drain, autologous transfusion drain or suction drain? A randomised prospective study in total hip replacement surgery of 168 patients. Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, 619 - 627

We performed a prospective, randomised controlled trial to assess the differences in the use of a conventional suction drain, an Autologous Blood Transfusion (ABT) drain and no drain, in 168 patients. There was no significant difference between the d... Read More about No drain, autologous transfusion drain or suction drain?

Compositional and structural medium energy ion scattering study of the temperature mediated diffusion determination at the Co/V interface in Co/V/MgO(100) (2010)
Journal Article
Díaz, M., Martínez, L., Román, E., Redondo-Cubero, A., Muñoz-Márquez, M., van der Laan, G., …Huttel, Y. (2010). Compositional and structural medium energy ion scattering study of the temperature mediated diffusion determination at the Co/V interface in Co/V/MgO(100). Surface Science, 604(23-24), 2177-2183. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.susc.2010.09.011

The impact of annealing at 300 °C on the elemental composition and the atomic structure of the Co/V interface in the 2.5 Å Co/70 Å V/MgO (100) system has been investigated by medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) using 100 keV He+ ions. By combining th... Read More about Compositional and structural medium energy ion scattering study of the temperature mediated diffusion determination at the Co/V interface in Co/V/MgO(100).

The peritoneal osmotic conductance is low well before the diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is made (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). The peritoneal osmotic conductance is low well before the diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is made. Kidney International, 611 - 618. https://doi.org/10.1038/ki.2010.186

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a serious condition whose frequency is increasing the longer the duration of peritoneal dialysis. To identify prognostic indicators of EPS, we studied here longitudinal changes in peritoneal membrane functi...

Value of severity scales in predicting mortality from community-acquired pneumonia: systematic review and meta-analysis (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Value of severity scales in predicting mortality from community-acquired pneumonia: systematic review and meta-analysis. Thorax, 884 - 890. https://doi.org/10.1136/thx.2009.134072

Background Several scoring systems have been used to predict mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia. The properties of commonly used risk stratification scales were systematically reviewed. Methods MEDLINE and EMBASE (January 1999...

Annual consultation prevalence of regional musculoskeletal problems in primary care: an observational study. (2010)
Journal Article
Jordan. (2010). Annual consultation prevalence of regional musculoskeletal problems in primary care: an observational study. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 144 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-11-144

BACKGROUND: Regional musculoskeletal pain such as back or shoulder pain are commonly reported symptoms in the community. The extent of consultation to primary care with such problems is unknown as a variety of labels may be used to record such consul...

Extracellular Nm23H1 stimulates neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglia neurons in vitro independently of nerve growth factor supplementation or its nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity. (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Extracellular Nm23H1 stimulates neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglia neurons in vitro independently of nerve growth factor supplementation or its nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 79 - 85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbrc.2010.06.039

The nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase, Nm23H1, is a highly expressed during neuronal development, whilst induced over-expression in neuronal cells results in increased neurite outgrowth. Extracellular Nm23H1 affects the survival, proliferation and...
