Intraosseous lipomas originating from simple bone cysts (2020)
Journal Article
Tins, B. J., Berkowitz, Y. J., Konala, P., Davies, M., Cassar-Pullicino, V. N., Lalam, R., & Cool, P. (2021). Intraosseous lipomas originating from simple bone cysts. Skeletal Radiology, 50(4), 801-806. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00256-020-03628-0

Purpose Fatty or part-fatty intraosseous lesions are occasionally encountered while imaging the skeletal system. A number of case reports have proposed involution of calcaneal bone cysts to intraosseous lipomas, but this has never been proven. This...

Routinely Measured Hematological Markers Can Help to Predict American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale Scores after Spinal Cord Injury (2020)
Journal Article
Harrington, G. M. B., Cool, P., Hulme, C., Osman, A., Roy Chowdhury, J., Kumar, N., …Wright, K. (2020). Routinely Measured Hematological Markers Can Help to Predict American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale Scores after Spinal Cord Injury. Journal of Neurotrauma, 38(3), https://doi.org/10.1089/neu.2020.7144

Neurological outcomes following spinal cord injury (SCI) are currently difficult to predict. Whilst the initial American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (AIS) grade can give an estimate of outcome, the high remaining degree of uncer...
