Validating estimates of problematic drug use in England (2007)
Journal Article

UK Government expenditure on combatting drug abuse is based on estimates of illicit drug users, yet the validity of these estimates is unknown. This study aims to assess the face validity of problematic drug use (PDU) and injecting drug use (IDU) est... Read More about Validating estimates of problematic drug use in England.

Peer Review - thriving or ailing in the twenty-first century? (2007)
Journal Article

The use of independent peer reviewers, to obtain advice from experts knowledgeable in a particular research area, is an intrinsic and essential part of the allocation of funds and the publication of results. For around 150 years, the vast majority of... Read More about Peer Review - thriving or ailing in the twenty-first century?.

Glycosaminoglycan profiles of repair tissue formed following autologous chondrocyte implantation differ from control cartilage. (2007)
Journal Article

Currently, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is the most commonly used cell-based therapy for the treatment of isolated femoral condyle lesions of the knee. A small number of centres performing ACI have reported encouraging long-term clinical...

Is there any evidence for influenza vaccination in children with asthma? (2007)
Journal Article

A 12 year old boy presents for a routine asthma follow-up appointment during the autumn. He takes 200 µg per day of inhaled budesonide and uses his salbutamol 3–4 times per week. His mother asks if the flu vaccine will make it less likely that he wil... Read More about Is there any evidence for influenza vaccination in children with asthma?.

Vitamin D and oestrogen receptor polymorphisms in developmental dysplasia of the hip and primary protrusio acetabuli – A preliminary study (2007)
Journal Article

We investigated the association of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and primary protrusion acetabuli (PPA) with Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms Taq I and Fok I and oestrogen receptor polymorphisms Pvu II and Xba I. 45 patients with DDH and 2...

Drug therapy in the management of acute asthma. (2007)
Journal Article

If our management of children with asthma was optimal, there would be no need for this article as we would be able to prevent the development and progression of any asthma exacerbation. In reality, we are quite a long way from optimal care of childho... Read More about Drug therapy in the management of acute asthma..

Growth control of the eukaryote cell: a systems biology study in yeast. (2007)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Cell growth underlies many key cellular and developmental processes, yet a limited number of studies have been carried out on cell-growth regulation. Comprehensive studies at the transcriptional, proteomic and metabolic levels under defin... Read More about Growth control of the eukaryote cell: a systems biology study in yeast..

Bone marrow stromal cells stimulate neurite outgrowth over neural proteoglycans (CSPG), myelin associated glycoprotein and Nogo-A. (2007)
Journal Article

In animal models, transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) into the spinal cord following injury enhances axonal regeneration and promotes functional recovery. How these improvements come about is currently unclear. We have examined the int...

A comparison of sunlight exposure in men with prostate cancer and basal cell carcinoma (2007)
Journal Article

Ultraviolet radiation exposure increases basal cell carcinoma (BCC) risk, but may be protective against prostate cancer. We attempted to identify exposure patterns that confer reduced prostate cancer risk without increasing that of BCC. We used a que...

An informatic pipeline for the data capture and submission of quantitative proteomic data using iTRAQ. (2007)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Proteomics continues to play a critical role in post-genomic science as continued advances in mass spectrometry and analytical chemistry support the separation and identification of increasing numbers of peptides and proteins from their c...
