The serine/threonine protein phosphatase 4 holoenzyme consists of PP4 catalytic subunit (PP4c), which interacts with four different regulatory subunits (PP4R1, PP4R2, PP4R3, PP4R4). Previous studies have shown that PP4c acts as a tumour suppressor an...

Development and psychometric evaluation of a patient reported outcome measure for polymyalgia rheumatica (2022)
Thesis
Twohig, H. J. (2022). Development and psychometric evaluation of a patient reported outcome measure for polymyalgia rheumatica. (Thesis). Keele University

Background
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) causes pain, stiffness and disability in older adults. Measuring the impact of the condition from the patient’s perspective is vital to highquality research and patient-centred care, yet there are no validated...
