Working Paper
Jordan, K. P., Muller, S., Usman, M., Bailey, J., Burton, C., Lawton, S. A., …van der Windt, D. A. Association of air pollution from a landfill site with primary care consultation

Background Waste landfill sites are associated with gaseous emissions and this air pollution can cause unpleasant smells (“malodour”). This causes concerns about its impact on the health of the local population. This study assessed change in general...

Journal Article
Usman, M., Gillies, C. L., Khunti, K., & Davies, M. J. (2018). Effects of intensive interventions compared to standard care in people with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria on risk factors control and cardiovascular outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
