The Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH): A Literature Review on the Rehabilitation Treatment (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction. The diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier-Rotès-Querol disease, is a systemic pathology characterized by the diffuse ossification of the ligaments of the spinal column. It can be linked to several meta... Read More about The Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH): A Literature Review on the Rehabilitation Treatment.

Improving assessment and feedback literacy within the School of Nursing and Midwifery (SNaM): Supporting students in preparing for their summative care plan assessment with the use of group tutorials (2023)
Journal Article

Critical thinking and high-level communication are vital for professional nursing practice. The experience of writing assignments and receiving feedback during undergraduate nursing studies helps to develop both these skills. Boud and Associates...

What Have You Learned? Matching Academic Content to Employability Skills in an Economics Undergraduate Programme (2023)
Journal Article

In economics and social sciences in general, it is often difficult for students to connect theory with practice and identify how material that is being taught, develops discipline-specific skills, and importantly, in this context, employability (...

Spot, treat and stop delirium: Acceptability and feasibility of a novel ‘Delirium Wheel App’ to identify and manage delirium in a care home setting in the United Kingdom (2023)
Presentation / Conference

AbstractBackgroundDelirium is common in elderly, frail residents in care home settings, who may already be suffering from dementia. The prevalence of delirium in nursing homes can be up to 60%. Care home staff are potentially in a unique position to...

Hydrodynamic simulations of convection and nucleosynthesis in the late phases of massive stars to constrain and guide stellar evolution theory (2023)
Thesis

The present knowledge of stellar evolution is still limited today by large uncertainties that derive from the complex multi-dimensional processes occurring in stars. Among them, the turbulent motions of the stellar fluid control the size and evolutio...

Recreating arterial thrombosis models using tissue-engineered arterial constructs: A method to reduce and replace mice used in platelet research (2023)
Thesis

Intravital microscopy in mice is widely used to study in vivo thrombus formation, however, the relevance of these studies to human physiology is unclear. In this thesis, a 3D tissue-engineered human arterial construct (TEAC) was developed that replic...
