Effect of antipronation foot orthosis geometry on compression of heel and arch soft tissues. (2015)
Journal Article
Sweeney, D., Nester, C., Preece, S., & Mickle, K. (2015). Effect of antipronation foot orthosis geometry on compression of heel and arch soft tissues. International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 52, 543--551. https://doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2014.12.0306

This study aimed to understand how systematic changes in arch height and two designs of heel wedging affect soft tissues under the foot. Soft tissue thickness under the heel and navicular was measured using ultrasound. Heel pad thickness was measured...

Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use. (2015)
Journal Article
Vie, B., Nester, C., Porte, L., Behr, M., Weber, J., & Jammes, Y. (2015). Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use. Gait & Posture, 41, 263--268. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.10.012

Insoles are known to alter plantar loads and thus plantar sensory input. We therefore hypothesised that plantar somatosensory sensation could be modified over time by use of hard metatarsal pads. A sample of 12 healthy female participants was randoml... Read More about Pilot study demonstrating that sole mechanosensitivity can be affected by insole use..

Foot posture and function have only minor effects on knee function during barefoot walking in healthy individuals. (2015)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Foot posture has been postulated as a risk factor for overuse injuries of the knee, however the link between foot posture and knee joint function is unclear. The aims of this study were to: (i) compare knee adduction moment and knee joint...

This paper characterises, using non-invasive methods, the biophysical properties of foot skin in healthy and pathological sta...

The focal account: Indirect lie detection need not access unconscious, implicit knowledge. (2015)
Journal Article
Street, C. N. H., & Richardson, D. C. The focal account: Indirect lie detection need not access unconscious, implicit knowledge. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 21(4), 342-355. https://doi.org/10.1037/xap0000058

People are poor lie detectors, but accuracy can be improved by making the judgment indirectly. In a typical demonstration, participants are not told that the experiment is about deception at all. Instead, they judge whether the speaker appears, say,... Read More about The focal account: Indirect lie detection need not access unconscious, implicit knowledge..

Inhibition of influenza H5N1 invasion by modified heparin derivatives (2015)
Journal Article
Skidmore, M. A., Kajaste-Rudnitski, A., Wells, N. M., Guimond, S. E., Rudd, T. R., Yates, E. A., & Vicenzi, E. Inhibition of influenza H5N1 invasion by modified heparin derivatives. MedChemComm, 6(4), 640-646. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4md00516c

Influenza remains a serious health threat, with resistance to frontline drugs becoming more common, and new treatments urgently sought. One strategy for the inhibition of the attachment of influenza to host cells is to employ chemically modified hepa...

Increasing magnetite contents of polymeric magnetic particles dramatically improves labeling of neural stem cell transplant populations. (2015)
Journal Article

Safe and efficient delivery of therapeutic cells to sites of injury/disease in the central nervous system is a key goal for the translation of clinical cell transplantation therapies. Recently, 'magnetic cell localization strategies' have emerged as...

The development and initial validation of a questionnaire to measure help-seeking behaviour in patients with new onset rheumatoid arthritis (2015)
Journal Article
Stack, R. J., Mallen, C., Deighton, C., Kiely, P., Shaw, K. L., Booth, A., Kumar, K., Thomas, S., Rowan, I., Horne, R., Nightingale, P., Herron-Marx, S., Jinks, C., Syndicate, D. S., & Raza, K.

Health Expectations, 18(6), 2340-2355. https://doi.org/10.1111/hex.12203

BACKGROUND: Early treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is vital. However, people often delay in seeking help at symptom onset. An assessment of the reasons behind patient delay is necessary to develop interventions to promote rapid consultation. O...

ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors. (2015)
Journal Article
Street, C. N. H. ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors. Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, 4(4), 335-343. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jarmac.2015.06.002

People make for poor lie detectors. They have accuracy rates comparable to a coin toss, and come with a set of systematic biases that sway the judgment. This pessimistic view stands in contrast to research showing that people make informed decisions... Read More about ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors..

Adopting the ritual stance: The role of opacity and context in ritual and everyday actions (2015)
Journal Article
Kapitány, R., & Nielsen, M. (2015). Adopting the ritual stance: The role of opacity and context in ritual and everyday actions. Cognition, 145, 13-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2015.08.002

Rituals are a pervasive and ubiquitous aspect of human culture, but when we naïvely observe an opaque set of ritual actions, how do we come to understand its significance? To investigate this, across two experiments we manipulated the degree to which... Read More about Adopting the ritual stance: The role of opacity and context in ritual and everyday actions.

Journal Article
Jordan, K., Tan, V., Edwards, J., Chen, Y., Englund, M., Hubertsson, J., Jöud, A., Porcheret, M., Turkiewicz, A., & Peat, G. (2016). Influences on the decision to use an osteoarthritis diagnosis in primary care: a cohort study with linked survey and electronic health record data. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 24(5), 786-793. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2015.12.015

Objective
Clinicians may record patients presenting with osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms with joint pain rather than an OA diagnosis. This may have implications for OA research studies and patient care. The objective was to assess whether older adults...
