Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist, F. J., Belcher, J., Jones, A. M., Smith, D., Smyth, A., Southern, K. W., …Lenney, W. (2014, December). THE INCIDENCE OF NEW PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA INFECTION IN CHILDREN WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS. Poster presented at British Thoracic Society Winter Meeting 2014, The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London

Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is one of the most important pathogens in cystic fibrosis (CF). Although there is a wealth of data about the prevalence of chronic PA infection, there is a paucity of evidence about the incidence of new PA inf...

Bisphosphonates and Risk of Acute Pseudogout: A Case-Control Study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Muller, S., Paskins, Z., Hider, S., Mallen, C., Roddy, E., & Bucknall, M. (2014, November). Bisphosphonates and Risk of Acute Pseudogout: A Case-Control Study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). Poster presented at 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting, Boston, MA, usa

Background/Purpose: Acute pseudogout is the most dramatic clinical manifestation of calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD). CPPD is most commonly sporadic and age-related but can rarely occur secondary to metabolic diseases or a familial tra...

Power, care and risk: personal reflections on pregnancy and childbirth (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Emmerich, F. (2014, October). Power, care and risk: personal reflections on pregnancy and childbirth. Paper presented at Putting the 'Care' Back in Healthcare, Centre for Professional Ethics at Keele School of Law, Keele University

The paper theorises through a power/gender framework the author's personal experiences of an externally labelled 'difficult pregnancy' and the procedural consequences for childbirth. The author argues that the language and technologies of risk produc... Read More about Power, care and risk: personal reflections on pregnancy and childbirth.

Policing Drunkenness in Victorian Cumbria (2014)
Presentation / Conference
(2014, September). Policing Drunkenness in Victorian Cumbria. Presented at British Crime Historians Symposium 4, Liverpool

Drunkenness assumed increasing importance as a ‘problem’ in the discourses of the nineteenth century. This is a bottom-up study to examine the extent to which the policing of drunkenness was informed by local cultures, rather than directed by policie...

Fit for purpose? A qualitative study of key stakeholders’ perspectives on pharmaceutical needs assessments. (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Hamilton, J., Cork, T., Zaman, H., & White, S. (2014, September). Fit for purpose? A qualitative study of key stakeholders’ perspectives on pharmaceutical needs assessments. Poster presented at Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS), Annual Conference 2014, ICC Birmingham UK

PNAs were introduced in 2004, revised by Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) between 2009 and 2011 and, since April 2013, are in the process of being reviewed again by the new Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) for completion in 2015. A previous questionnaire... Read More about Fit for purpose? A qualitative study of key stakeholders’ perspectives on pharmaceutical needs assessments..

The sensitivity and specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa detection using hydrogen cyanide concentration in exhaled breath - The SPACE study (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist, F., Jones, A., Webb, K., Smith, D., & Lenney, W. (2014, September). The sensitivity and specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa detection using hydrogen cyanide concentration in exhaled breath - The SPACE study. Presented at ERS 22nd Annual Congress 2014, Munich, Germany

Introduction

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is an in-vitro marker of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). This is the first in-vivo study to investigate if HCN is an early marker of PA infection in children with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Methods

Children who ha... Read More about The sensitivity and specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa detection using hydrogen cyanide concentration in exhaled breath - The SPACE study.

Daylight robbery: Hospitals admissions for childhood asthma in English regions are inversely associated with hours of sunshine (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Carroll, W., Saunders, A., Ismail, K., Farrell, W., Emes, R., & Fryer, A. (2014, September). Daylight robbery: Hospitals admissions for childhood asthma in English regions are inversely associated with hours of sunshine. Presented at 22nd Annual Congress, Munich, Germany

Background: Vitamin D is implicated in the expression of childhood asthma but it is difficult to pick apart cause and effect from observational data. If lack of vitamin D is secondary to a sedentary lifestyle then weather patterns should not effect a...

The effect of a phospholipase C gamma inhibitor on the proliferation and phenotype of Du145 prostate cancer cells (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Muzinic, N. R., Mastelic, A., Markotic, A., Culic, V. C., Ross, A., Vuica-Ross, M., …Reynisson, J. (2014, August). The effect of a phospholipase C gamma inhibitor on the proliferation and phenotype of Du145 prostate cancer cells. Poster presented at FEBS EMBO 2014 Conference, Paris, France

Introduction: Prostate cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer related death among men, highlighting the need for new therapies. Many cancer cellular functions have been dis-covered to be regulated by phospholipase C (PLC) gamma activat...

Production of 92Nb, 92Mo, and 146Sm in the gamma-process in SNIa (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Rauscher, T., Travaglio, C., Gallino, R., Nishimura, N., & Hirschi, R. (2014, July). Production of 92Nb, 92Mo, and 146Sm in the gamma-process in SNIa. Paper presented at 13th Symposium on Nuclei in the Cosmos (NIC XIII), Debrecen, Hungary

The knowledge of the production of extinct radioactivities like 92Nb and 146Sm by photodisintegration processes in ccSN and SNIa models is essential for interpreting abundances in meteoritic material and for Galactic Chemical Evolution (GCE). The 92M... Read More about Production of 92Nb, 92Mo, and 146Sm in the gamma-process in SNIa.

KIC 7582608: a new Kepler roAp star with frequency variability (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Holdsworth, D., Smalley, B., Kurtz, D., Southworth, J., Cunha, M., & Clubb, K. (2014, July). KIC 7582608: a new Kepler roAp star with frequency variability. Poster presented at The Space Photometry Revolution – CoRoT Symposium 3, Kepler KASC-7 Joint Meeting, Toulouse, France

We analyse the fifth roAp star reported in the Kepler field, KIC 7582608, discovered with the SuperWASP project. The object shows a high frequency pulsation at 181.7324d-1 (P = 7.9 min) with an amplitude of 1.45 mmag, and low frequency rotational mod...
