Journal Article
(2016). Paragonimiasis in tuberculosis patients in Nagaland, India. Global Health Action, 32387 - ?. https://doi.org/10.3402/gha.v9.32387

BACKGROUND: One of the infections that mimic tuberculosis (TB) is paragonimiasis (PRG), a foodborne parasitic disease caused by lung flukes of the genusParagonimus. In the northeastern states of India, TB and PRG are endemic; however, PRG is rarely i... Read More about Paragonimiasis in tuberculosis patients in Nagaland, India..

Cellular senescence in aging and osteoarthritis. (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Cellular senescence in aging and osteoarthritis. Acta Orthopaedica, 6- 14. https://doi.org/10.1080/17453674.2016.1235087

- It is well accepted that age is an important contributing factor to poor cartilage repair following injury, and to the development of osteoarthritis. Cellular senescence, the loss of the ability of cells to divide, has been noted as the major facto... Read More about Cellular senescence in aging and osteoarthritis..

Venous thromboembolism following colorectal resection (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Venous thromboembolism following colorectal resection. Colorectal Disease, 385-394. https://doi.org/10.1111/codi.13529

Aim The study investigated the rate of significant venous thromboembolism (VTE) following colorectal resection during the index admission and over 1 year following discharge. It identifies risk factors associated with VTE and considers the length of... Read More about Venous thromboembolism following colorectal resection.

Factors influencing students' receptivity to formative feedback emerging from different assessment cultures (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Factors influencing students' receptivity to formative feedback emerging from different assessment cultures. Perspectives on Medical Education, 276 -284. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40037-016-0297-x

INTRODUCTION: Feedback after assessment is essential to support the development of optimal performance, but often fails to reach its potential. Although different assessment cultures have been proposed, the impact of these cultures on students' recep...

Pre-eclampsia is associated with a twofold increase in diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Wu, P., Shing Kwok, C., Haththotuwa, R., Kotronias, R. A., Babu, A., Fryer, A. A., …Mamas, M. A. (2016). Pre-eclampsia is associated with a twofold increase in diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetologia, 59, 2518-2526. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00125-016-4098-x

Aims/hypothesis: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific multi-system disorder and a state of physiological insulin resistance. Our aim is to systematically evaluate and quantify the evidence on the relationship between pre-eclampsia and the future ris...
