Accelerating and increasing nano-scaled pore formation on electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) fibers. (2016)
Journal Article
Yang, Y. (2016). Accelerating and increasing nano-scaled pore formation on electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) fibers. Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 1155 - 1169. https://doi.org/10.1080/09205063.2016.1184122

Porous fibers are advantageous for filtration systems, drug delivery systems, and in the field of tissue engineering, in comparison to their non-porous counterparts. In this study, we developed a facile technique including two steps to generate poly(...

Did Cost Inhibit the Uptake of More potent Statins? (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Did Cost Inhibit the Uptake of More potent Statins?. Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, 984-991. https://doi.org/10.1002/pds.4231

Background The use of statins has increased substantially over the last 2 decades in England and represents a significant cost burden to the National Health Service. Therefore, it is important to understand what influences prescribers' choice. Ob... Read More about Did Cost Inhibit the Uptake of More potent Statins?.

Low-Dose versus Standard-Dose Intravenous Alteplase in Acute Ischemic Stroke (2016)
Journal Article
Roffe. (2016). Low-Dose versus Standard-Dose Intravenous Alteplase in Acute Ischemic Stroke. New England Journal of Medicine, 2313-2323. https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa1515510

BACKGROUND Thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke with a lower-than-standard dose of intravenous alteplase may improve recovery along with a reduced risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS Using a 2-by-2 quasi-factorial open-label desi... Read More about Low-Dose versus Standard-Dose Intravenous Alteplase in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Determinants and outcomes of stroke following percutaneous coronary intervention by indication (2016)

Background and Purpose—Stroke after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a serious complication, but its determinants and outcomes after PCI in different clinical settings are poorly documented. Methods—The British Cardiovascular Interventi... Read More about Determinants and outcomes of stroke following percutaneous coronary intervention by indication.

Assessing chronic cough in children (2016)
Journal Article
Gilchrist. (2016). Assessing chronic cough in children. Paediatrics and Child Health, 273-275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paed.2016.03.002

Cough is a protective physiological reflex that aids the clearance of airway secretions and aspirated material. As such, it is normal to cough. Coughing becomes abnormal when the frequency or severity impacts on the child's ability to eat, sleep, pla... Read More about Assessing chronic cough in children.

Journal Article
Gilchrist, F. J., Ahmad, A. N., Batchelor, H. K., Marriott, J. F., & Lenney, W. (2016). A review of prednisolone prescribing for children with acute asthma in the UK. Journal of Asthma, 53(6), 563 -566. https://doi.org/10.3109/02770903.2015.1118498

INTRODUCTION: Worldwide asthma guidelines recommend short courses of oral prednisolone in children with acute exacerbations generating high prescription numbers. There is a paucity of evidence to inform the optimal dose and course duration. This has... Read More about A review of prednisolone prescribing for children with acute asthma in the UK.
