Journal Article
Aldulaimi, O., Uche a, F. I., Hameed, H., Mbye, H., Ullah, I., Drijfhout, F., …Li, W. (2017). A characterization of the antimalarial activity of the bark of Cylicodiscus gabunensis Harms. Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 198, 221-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2017.01.014

Ethnopharmacological relevance and aim
A decoction of the bark of Cylicodiscus gabunensis Harms is used as a traditional medicine in the treatment of malaria in Nigeria. This study aims to validate the antimalarial potency of this decoction in vitro... Read More about A characterization of the antimalarial activity of the bark of Cylicodiscus gabunensis Harms.

Clinical Prediction in Defined Populations: a simulation study investigating when and how to aggregate existing models (2017)
Journal Article
Mamas. (2017). Clinical Prediction in Defined Populations: a simulation study investigating when and how to aggregate existing models. BMC medical research methodology, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12874-016-0277-1

Background
Clinical prediction models (CPMs) are increasingly deployed to support healthcare decisions but they are derived inconsistently, in part due to limited data. An emerging alternative is to aggregate existing CPMs developed for similar sett...

The cellular magnetic response and biocompatibility of biogenic zinc- and cobalt-doped magnetite nanoparticles. (2017)
Journal Article
Moise, S., Céspedes, E., Soukup, D., Byrne, J. M., El Haj, A. J., & Telling, N. D. (2017). The cellular magnetic response and biocompatibility of biogenic zinc- and cobalt-doped magnetite nanoparticles. Scientific reports, 7, Article 39922. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep39922

The magnetic moment and anisotropy of magnetite nanoparticles can be optimised by doping with transition metal cations, enabling their properties to be tuned for different biomedical applications. In this study, we assessed the suitability of bacteri... Read More about The cellular magnetic response and biocompatibility of biogenic zinc- and cobalt-doped magnetite nanoparticles..

Social Disadvantage Is Associated With Lower Vitamin D Levels in Older People and There Is No Surrogate for Its Measurement (2017)
Journal Article
Heald, A. H., Anderson, S. G., Scargill, J. J., Short, A., Holland, D., Khan, A., …Livingston, M. (2017). Social Disadvantage Is Associated With Lower Vitamin D Levels in Older People and There Is No Surrogate for Its Measurement. Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1177/2333721417697843

There is increasing evidence concerning adverse health consequences of low vitamin D levels. We determined whether there is any surrogate for measuring vitamin D in people older than 70 years and the relation between index of multiple deprivation (IM...

A case study: Glycosaminoglycan profiles of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) tissue improves as the tissue matures (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). A case study: Glycosaminoglycan profiles of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) tissue improves as the tissue matures. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2016.10.002

Background
Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has been used to treat cartilage defects in thousands of patients worldwide with good clinical effectiveness 10–20 years after implantation. Information concerning the quality of the repair cartil...
