Understanding the variability in ultrafiltration obtained with icodextrin (2009)
Journal Article
Lambie. (2009). Understanding the variability in ultrafiltration obtained with icodextrin

I codextrin (ICO) has been a major addition to the management of ultrafiltration (UF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD), allowing sustained UF during long dwells and maintenance of UF in the face of increased membrane solute transport, while minimizing t...

GP attitudes and self-reported behaviour in primary care consultations for low back pain (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). GP attitudes and self-reported behaviour in primary care consultations for low back pain. Family Practice, 359-364. https://doi.org/10.1093/fampra/cmp042

Background. The implementation of guideline recommendations in primary care has become widespread. The treatment of low back pain (LBP) has followed suite. Research shows that the use of LBP guidelines is influenced by the believability of the underl...

The control of T-cell survival is of overwhelming importance for preventing leukemia and lymphoma. The present report demonstrates that the serine/threonine protein phosphatase PP4 regulates the survival of both leukemic T-cells and untransformed hum...

The delicately orchestrated process of bone fracture healing is not always successful and long term non union of fractured bone occurs in 5-20% of all cases. Atrophic fracture non unions have been described as the most difficult to treat and this is...

Effectiveness of feedback provision for psychology undergraduate students (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). Effectiveness of feedback provision for psychology undergraduate students. Psychology Learning and Teaching, 34 -38

Research on feedback for undergraduate students has usually focused on either the tutor or the student perspective. Some tutors perceive that students do not read or learn from feedback, whilst students sometimes claim that feedback can be difficult...

BACKGROUND: Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may interfere with bone healing. Previous studies give conflicting advice regarding discontinuation of these drugs in the peri-operative setting. No consensus exists in current practice espe...

The exchange energy of an arbitrary collinear-spin many-body system in an external magnetic field is a functional of the spin-resolved charge and current densities. Within the framework of density-functional theory (DFT), we show that the dependence...
