COVID-19 prompted rapid mobilisation of health services and medical science in the face of unprecedented challenges. When COVID-19 emerged in 2020, medical science delivered, and delivered quickly. Using large-scale multicentre trials, researchers in... Read More about Mitigating the impacts of COVID-19: where are the mental health trials?.

Molecular dynamics simulation of peptide attachment on Al-based surfaces (2021)
Journal Article
Lou, T., Bai, X., He, X., Yang, Y., & Yuan, C. (2021). Molecular dynamics simulation of peptide attachment on Al-based surfaces. Progress in Organic Coatings, 157, 106310. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.porgcoat.2021.106310

Biofouling is a serious problem for devices or facilities working in marine environment that needs to be solved. Modifying the contact surface with antimicrobial peptides is a promised technique to inhibit biofouling. However, the attachment behavior...

'It's just a great muddle when it comes to food': a qualitative exploration of patient decision-making around diet and gout. (2021)
Journal Article
Hider, Watson, Mallen, & Roddy. (2021). 'It's just a great muddle when it comes to food': a qualitative exploration of patient decision-making around diet and gout. Rheumatology Advances in Practice, https://doi.org/10.1093/rap/rkab055

Objective: Our aim was to understand whether, why and how patients choose to modify their diets after developing gout. Methods: We conducted an inductive thematic secondary analysis of qualitative data from 43 interviews and four focus groups wit...

Derivation and validation of a clinical model to predict death or cardiac hospitalizations while on the cardiac surgery waitlist (2021)
Journal Article
Mamas. (2021). Derivation and validation of a clinical model to predict death or cardiac hospitalizations while on the cardiac surgery waitlist. Canadian Medical Association Journal, E1333 - E1340

Background: Waitlist management is a global challenge. For patients with severe cardiovascular diseases awaiting cardiac surgery, prolonged wait times are associated with unplanned hospitalizations. To facilitate evidence-based resource allocation, w...

The VMC survey – XLIV: Mapping metallicity trends in the large magellanic cloud using near-infrared passbands (2021)
Journal Article
Choudhury, S., de Grijs, R., Bekki, K., Cioni, M. L., Ivanov, V. D., Van Loon, J. T., …Subramanian, S. (2021). The VMC survey – XLIV: Mapping metallicity trends in the large magellanic cloud using near-infrared passbands. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 507(4), 4752-4763. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2446

We have derived high-spatial-resolution metallicity maps covering ~105 deg2 across the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using near-infrared passbands from the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds. We attempt to understand the metallicity distribution an... Read More about The VMC survey – XLIV: Mapping metallicity trends in the large magellanic cloud using near-infrared passbands.

Effect of lumbopelvic control on landing mechanics and lower extremity muscles' activities in female professional athletes: implications for injury prevention. (2021)
Other
(2021). Effect of lumbopelvic control on landing mechanics and lower extremity muscles' activities in female professional athletes: implications for injury prevention

BACKGROUND: Lumbopelvic control (LPC) has recently been associated with function, kinesiology, and load distribution on the limb. However, poor LPC has not been studied as a risk factor for lower limb injury in sports requiring frequent jump landings...

An Ethnographic Perspective of Well-Being, Salutogenesis and Meaning Making among Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the Gambia and the United Kingdom (2021)
Journal Article
(2021). An Ethnographic Perspective of Well-Being, Salutogenesis and Meaning Making among Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the Gambia and the United Kingdom. Social Sciences, 324 - 324. https://doi.org/10.3390/socsci10090324

Research on refugees and asylum seekers largely focuses on the negative impacts that forced migration has on well-being. Though most individuals do not experience poor long-term mental health because of forced migration, less attention has been given...
