Real-time simulation of hand motion for prosthesis control (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Real-time simulation of hand motion for prosthesis control. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 540-549. https://doi.org/10.1080/10255842.2016.1255943

Individuals with hand amputation suffer substantial loss of independence. Performance of sophisticated prostheses is limited by the ability to control them. To achieve natural and simultaneous control of all wrist and hand motions, we propose to use... Read More about Real-time simulation of hand motion for prosthesis control.

Journal Article
Mamas, M. A., Shing Kwok, C., Kontopantelis, E., Fryer, A. A., Buchan, I., Bachmann, M. O., …Myint, P. K. (2016). Relationship Between Anemia and Mortality Outcomes in a National Acute Coronary Syndrome Cohort: Insights from the UK Myocardial Ischemia National Audit Project Registry. Journal of the American Heart Association, 5(11), https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.116.003348

BACKGROUND: We aim to determine the prevalence of anemia in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and compare their clinical characteristics, management, and clinical outcomes to those without anemia in an unselected national ACS cohort. METHODS AND...

Omega-3 fatty acid EPA improves regenerative capacity of mouse skeletal muscle cells exposed to saturated fat and inflammation (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Omega-3 fatty acid EPA improves regenerative capacity of mouse skeletal muscle cells exposed to saturated fat and inflammation. Biogerontology, 109 - 129. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10522-016-9667-3

Sarcopenic obesity is characterised by high fat mass, low muscle mass and an elevated inflammatory environmental milieu. We therefore investigated the effects of elevated inflammatory cytokine TNF-a (aging/obesity) and saturated fatty acid, palmitate...

Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated cardiac failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Davies, & Mamas. (2016). Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated cardiac failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis. International Journal of Cardiology, 122-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2016.11.136

Background Ultrafiltration is a method used to achieve diuresis in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) when there is diuretic resistance, but its efficacy in other settings is unclear. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysi... Read More about Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated cardiac failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Review of early hospitalization after percutaneous coronary intervention (2016)
Journal Article
Mamas. (2016). Review of early hospitalization after percutaneous coronary intervention. International Journal of Cardiology, 370-377. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2016.11.050

Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most common modality of revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease. Understanding the readmission rates and reasons for readmission after PCI is important because readmission...

Inadequacy of Existing Clinical Prediction Models for Predicting Mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (2016)
Journal Article
Mamas. (2016). Inadequacy of Existing Clinical Prediction Models for Predicting Mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. American Heart Journal, 97-105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ahj.2016.10.020

Background The performance of emerging transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) clinical prediction models (CPMs) in national TAVI cohorts distinct from those where they have been derived is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the perform... Read More about Inadequacy of Existing Clinical Prediction Models for Predicting Mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Efavirenz Is Predicted To Accumulate in Brain Tissue: an In Silico, In Vitro, and In Vivo Investigation (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Efavirenz Is Predicted To Accumulate in Brain Tissue: an In Silico, In Vitro, and In Vivo Investigation. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.01841-16

Adequate concentrations of efavirenz in the central nervous system (CNS) are necessary to suppress viral replication, but high concentrations may increase the likelihood of CNS adverse drug reactions. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the... Read More about Efavirenz Is Predicted To Accumulate in Brain Tissue: an In Silico, In Vitro, and In Vivo Investigation.
